Tsunami workshop
In coastal communities like Cannon Beach, Seaside, Gearhart, Warrenton and others, getting to high ground in the event of a local tsunami generated by a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake (the "Big One")is not a viable option for many people. While other countries have designed and built vertical evacuation buildings capable of surviving a great earthquake and massive tsunami, how viable and necessary is that option for coastal communities in Oregon? A two-day workshop beginning Monday September 28th in Cannon Beach will address issues of tsunami risk management and policies relating to vertical evacuation buildings. In order to reduce tsunami-related fatalities in the Cascadia region, tsunami risk management needs to include the consideration of tsunami evacuation buildings in addition to the traditional evacuation method of "move inland and uphill". Higher possible inundation levels, very short evacuation times (10-30 minutes), and the difficulties of evacuating visitors and our increasingly aging resident coastal population mean that even communities with nearby high ground should consider tsunami evacuation buildings. The City of Cannon Beach began looking at building a new city hall that could serve as a vertical evacuation structure a couple of years ago and that will be one of the discussions at this workshop. Building tsunami vertical evacuation structures requires new policies that involve elected officials, the general public, and engineers.
Smoke
Lingering smoke in Southern Oregon from wildfires has brought about a “Hazardous” air pollution rating for residents in the Klamath Falls area by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). According to a news release, “residents should avoid exposure to heavy concentrations of smoke as much as possible and take every precaution necessary to protect their health.”
Police chief
He rose from the ranks of Bandon’s Police Dept. to become Police Chief in Reedsport in January 2006. The ride is over for Shawn Essex. As of Monday morning, September 21st, 9 a.m., he has officially resigned from the department and says he and his family will be leaving the area in mid November for Kentucky to be closer to family. The resignation followed a meeting with new city manager Scott Somers over a police department vehicle purchase. Somers admits to intervening in management issues in the police department since arriving in Reedsport at the first of the year. He also says the two had different management styles, but adds he did not ask Essex to resign. Former Police Chief John Smart will serve as the interim chief while a search begins.
Rocky Creek
It’s one thing when Mother Nature does it on her own, but it’s another situation that needs to be studied when man does it. The Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) has an open file on research into fill placed on a Curry County beach in 2006. The fill came from the Rocky Creek slide on Hwy. 101 south of Port Orford in 2006. Engineers decided the entire fill section that failed need to be removed and replaced with a coarser fill material. The old fill was eventually deposited on a beach nearby. Now, geologists are studying the technique of creating an artificial landslide onto a beach. “The failure of the Rocky Creek landslide south of Port Orford in January, 2006 raised a number of important questions about the appropriate use of the public beach and intertidal region for the disposal of sediments (cobbles to sand and silt) excavated from the landslide that destroyed a portion of U.S. Highway 101. In particular, questions were raised about the likely impact of this sediment fill to the Hubbard Creek littoral system and to the marine biology immediately below Rocky Creek and adjacent to the landslide.”
Oregon Health Plan
Approximately 50,000-75,000 individuals were disenrolled from the Oregon Health Plan managed care plans and put into fee-for-service ("open card") status last week. According to a “Provider Alert” bulletin sent out by the Oregon Department of Human Services on Friday, “this occurred late last night or early this morning. Disenrollment occurred in all plans, all plan types, and in all areas of the state. DHS is working on reversing this today.” A follow-up notice came through at noon – “DHS has corrected the disenrollment error reported earlier today. This only affected clients with a disenrollment date of 9/24/09. Any clients incorrectly disenrolled should now display as enrolled in their appropriate plan(s) on AVR and Provider Web Portal.”
Walker
Former State Senator Vicki Walker, who grew up in Reedsport, will not be taking a position with the Oregon Board of Parole and Supervision after all. The Eugene Democrat resigned her Senate seat following the appointment by Governor Ted Kulogoski. However, Walker now cites the budget for her change of mind. The governor wanted to expand the Board to four persons, but both parties now say there is not enough money in the budget to afford two positions and Walker says she “took one for the gipper.”
Rescue
An 18-year old Brookings male, trapped on a cliff by an incoming tide, was rescued by Curry County Search and Rescue personnel Sunday, 5:20 p.m., near the end of Tanbark Dr. According to a news release from the Sheriff’s Office, Jayson Estelle was located at the base of the cliff in a cove. He had been exploring the area with a 17-year old friend when the tide came in. The friend was able to climb to safety, but not Estelle. An SAR team was able to reach him, equip him with a life vest, attach a safety line, and escort him around a steep rocky ledge to safety.
Medevac
The Coast Guard medically evacuated a woman from the cruise ship Zuiderdam, approximately 5 miles west of Tillamook Bay, Ore., Sunday. Coast Guard Station Tillamook Bay received a call at 10:55 a.m., requesting the medical evacuation of a passenger found unconscious in a hot tub aboard the Zuiderdam. Station Tillamook Bay launched a 47-foot motor lifeboat crew to rendezvous with the cruise ship and then transport the woman to Station Tillamook Bay.

Pirates over Cavemen
The seniors on this year’s Marshfield varsity football team circled the game against Grants Pass on their schedules this summer. They hadn’t beaten the Cavemen in three tries as the 6A school held the 5A Pirates in check. But this year was different. GP didn’t have that normal offensive and defensive line that stood and weighed about the same from end to end. Gone also was a tall-gifted receiver who doubled at quarterback when needed, and more importantly, as former Marshfield assistant coach Mike Helfrich described him, gone was “Mr. Hughes” from the defensive nose guard position. Enter this year’s Pirate players with a bigger line than the last several seasons and gifted athletic players at the skilled positions. It set the tone for a big upset last Friday night at Mel Ingram Field in Grants Pass as Marshfield jumped out to a 14-0 lead, gave up some turnovers and mental mistakes late that allowed the Cavemen to come back and tie the score before quarterback Kyle Tedder shocked the home team fans with a 70-yard gallop round right end in the fourth quarter that put the Pirates in front for good. Senior Bo Cutting then sealed the 20-14 win with a defensive lineman’s dream, an interception at the line of scrimmage. The Pirates scored first in the second quarter with :31 seconds remaining as Tedder found senior receiver Chris Krajcir in the endzone with a 23 yard pass caught in traffic. That was set up by an 80-yard run by Tedder around left end. GP came back and got the ball nearly in the endzone with :04 remaining, however quarterback Jordy Romick’s pass was just short. In the third, Marshfield dug a play out of its “bag of tricks” for the second week in a row when Tedder handed off to Nick Post and the senior rushed towards the line only to stop, turn and throw it back to Tedder. The quarterback then bombed the “flea flicker” away to senior Callen Cooper for a 44-yard score and a 14-0 advantage. Sophomore Dalton Milburn booted the earlier extra point through the uprights and followed with his seventh straight for the season. Turnovers were traded but the Cavemen were able to move the ball within scoring position late in the third. John Tardieu, a bruising scholarly athlete who is being pursued by Yale, got a one-yard TD with :46 remaining in the third to pull GP within one touchdown of Marshfield, 14-7. The Pirates had an implosion on the next series of plays. The kickoff return was mishandled putting Marshfield deep as time ran out in the third. A couple of fumbles sandwiched around a personal foul penalty gave Grants Pass the ball inside the five. Tardieu got his second rushing score of the night on a short three-yard run and suddenly with 11:08 remaining, the score was tied at 14. Both teams moved the ball, gave up turnovers until a little over a minute remained in the game. That’s when Tedder kept the ball on a run around right end, used a stiff arm and then raced the length of the GP bench in scoring the go-ahead touchdown. However, the emotional player raised his finger at the 20-yard line in a “No. 1” celebration and that drew an unsportsmanlike penalty. The extra point attempt by Tedder from 35-yards out was blocked with 1:20 to go in the game. The Cavemen got a good kickoff return from Hidden Valley transfer Todd Woodrum to nearly midfield. Romick followed with a long 18-yard run on a scramble which set up the final play. The two-year starting quarterback wanted to throw to his left, but the 6-2 Cutting was waiting and watching. He jumped when the pass was thrown, hit it with one hand and it landed on the shoulder pads of a fellow Pirate. Cutting grabbed it and was tackled. Ball game! The defensive end ran to the Pirate sideline with ball in hand and was tackled by defensive coach Josh Line on the sidelines. The official retrieved the ball, the Pirates were not flagged for celebrating, and Marshfield ran the clock out with Tedder going to his knee twice. Two road trips in two weeks for first year coach Justin Ainsworth, and the Pirates have two wins to improve to 3-1 in the preseason. Up next is the final leg of a three-game away from home journey at Jefferson in Portland. The Democrats beat Marshfield twice last year, once in Coos Bay during the regular season and then in the playoffs. It’s another circle on the calendar. The Demos are 0-4 after falling 28-14 at Crater in Southern Oregon last Friday. However, Jefferson has had perhaps the toughest preseason schedule in the state among 5A schools. The Demos opened with a close loss to crosstown rival and 6A Grant, then lost a close game with two-time defending state champion West Albany, got handled by top-ranked Sherwood and then fell to the Comets. In that game, a melee broke out with three players from both teams ejected from the game. Marshfield will regain several starters who didn’t play against Grants Pass due to injuries. Receiver Joey Morgan, running backs Ryan Scoville and Talo Silver and lineman Chris Cordova. You can listen to the game on “Pirate Radio” FM 91.3 with the pre-game show at 6:40 p.m., and the kickoff at 7 p.m. The broadcast is also streamed on the Internet through the KMHS radio station website.

Bulldogs
After three straight losses on the road, North Bend found the win column last Friday night in smoky Southern Oregon and handed Phoenix a 33-18 non-league 4A loss. Things didn’t look good early for the Bulldogs (1-3) as the Pirates (2-2) jumped out to a 12-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Senior Dalton Iveans got North Bend going in the right direction in the second quarter with an interception and return to Phoenix’s 37-yard line. Iveans, also the Bulldogs’ quarterback, then connected with junior fullback Jake Lucero on a pass and run to the 13-yard line. Two plays later, Lucero capped the drive with a one-yard plunge. Ryan Johnson’s extra point made the score 12-7. But, North Bend wasn’t done with the second quarter. Cody Harden had a seven-yard TD run, Johnson’s EP was good, 14-12 Bulldogs at the half. Harden picked up a five-yard scoring jaunt in the third, 20-12, and then North Bend, senior Cameron Seiger added an 88-yard sprint to the endzone for a 26-12 advantage before the Pirates could respond with a 30-yard strike through the air. With 11:49 remaining, and the score 26-18 Bulldogs, Seiger added a 40-yard run to paydirt around the left side to seal the game, 33-18. The win snapped a two-game winning streak by Phoenix that included wins over Ashland and Brookings-Harbor.

North Bend won the 16 team Sisters tournament Saturday. Coach Les Willett, “This was a huge step forward for North Bend Volleyball as 8 of the top 10 teams in 4A were there as well as 2 highly ranked 3A schools in Burns and Vale. Only number 4 Hidden Valley and number 10 Cottage Grove were missing.” In pool play North Bend topped Cascade 21-8, 22-20. North Bend was trailing 20-14 in the second set before earning a side out and then Haley Dunham served out the set with 7 straight points. “We had little trouble with Tillamook, winning 21-10, 21-6. Our third match had us facing host Sisters, a two-time state tournament finalist and currently ranked number 2 in the state. Nerves got us the first game as we didn’t put up much of a fight and fell 10-21. We picked up confidence and our game in the second set but fell 19-21. That was good enough for a 4-2 record in pool play and the number 4 seeding overall into bracket play. We faced number 5 Marist in the first round of bracket play and lost the first set 18-25. We came back and won the second set 25-19. In a tremendous battle our girls prevailed in the tiebreaker game 19-17 to advance to the second round of bracket play.” Sister had easily won their first bracket match over Vale so it was now a rematch of pool play opponents. North Bend came out aggressively, let by Kristin Banta’s six stuff blocks during the 2 sets to take the match 25-16, 25-11 and hand Sisters its first loss of the season. “Our blocking was fantastic that game with Alexandra Mateski, Katie Banta and Zoe Ottemiller adding 2 blocks each. Haley Dunham also had a stuff block and led us with 9 kills in the match. We faced an unfamiliar foe in the finals in Yamhill Carlton currently 6th in the state. YC had beaten number one Henley in pool play and again in bracket play earlier in the day. They beat Estacada in the semi-finals to make it to the championship. We dug very well and swept YC 25-17, 25-21 to win the tournament championship.” North Bend’s run to the title was unexpected by the rest of the field. “We were not ranked in early season polls and have only climbed as high as 8th in the last poll. Our girls played tough all day and got stronger at the end. We now know the potential we have as we get into conference play in the Far West League. Our goal is to qualify for the opportunity to make it to the state tournament after missing out the last 2 years.” Bulldog stats: Haley Dunham had 46 kills and 14 digs. Alexandra Mateski had 40 kill and 19 digs. Kristin Banta had 18 kills and 9 blocks. Zoe Ottemiller had 11 kills and 6 blocks. Alicia Heredia had 7 kills. Mallory Rose had 5 kills. Our senior transfer from Sisters High School, Justine Head, had 19 digs to lead us defensively. Ashley Horlacher had 12 digs and Camille Deming had 9. Katie Banta had 14 kills and 134 assists.

Marshfield’s Cross Country teams competed in the 17th annual Northwest Classic at Lane Community College in Eugene Saturday. The Pirate girls and boys varsity team finished 9th in both team races and in front of two other Midwestern League teams, Springfield and Thurston. Crater’s boys and girls won both team titles. JV Boy's results: 14th, Marshfield - 28 60 81 92 96 (115)(117) = 357 - Sergio Marroquin, Max Stuntzner-Gibson, Josh Carter, Colton Thurman, Blake Kemp, Ken Sharp, Arturo Ancheyta. Varsity Girl's results: 9th Marshfield - 27 35 40 66 100 (102) = 268: Jasmine Meline, Jana Sadler, Tori Scott, Rise Campbell, Natasha Hill, Reine Pavlik. Varsity Boy's results: 9th Marshfield - 25 38 64 73 95 (106)(108) = 295: Andrew Davidson, Markus Boesl, Tyler Nixon, Dustin Reis, Eddie Rodriguez, Steve Ellefson, Conner Devereux. Coach Doug Landrum, “We ran well. Our boys and girls both placed 9th in the varsity team competitions. Both were tops for our league, although several key girls were apparently not able to run for some of our league competition. Andrew Davidson and Markus Boesl both ran in the mid to low 17s and Tyler Nixon was our 3rd boy in at 18:05, a big lifetime best despite being ill. On the girls side Jana continues to work into shape and Jasmine Meline's stock continues to rise by the day. In her 4th XC meet ever she ran a 21:33. That's a solid time at Lane for any girl. I firmly believe she will be the next star in Pirate Distance. Conner Devereux has a world of potential for the boys but has been hampered the last week with a cold and pretty bad heel bruise. Our boys will be in the mix for a team berth to state. Our girls are likely looking at a few individual slots unless we can get our numbers 4 and 5 to move way up.”
