Map: Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale

4

oregon-coast-garage-sale Lincoln CityThe annual Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale is set this weekend, April 19-21, and will feature more vendors than previous years, making it the biggest to date.

Every year, Lincoln City brings out its wares for all to peruse in a community-wide event with visitors and locals checking out more than 100 garage sales from Otis in the north, to Lincoln City, and as far as Depoe Bay to the south.

“There’s definitely an increase of the number of people who want to be involved,” Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce Marketing Manager Jessica Martinez said. “The way we did our mapping, we cut it off after a certain date and after that date we had probably 40-50 more people call wanting to be on the map.”

A paper copy of the map will be published Thursday, April 18, in Oregon Coast Today and is available at the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce.

“It gets pretty crazy. People go crazy for this,” Martinez said.

LCSD’s ‘A Taste of Kindergarten’ open house scheduled in May

0

Lincoln County School District elementary schools are hosting a special event just for incoming kindergartners throughout the month of May.

Each family with a child who will be 5 by Sept. 1, are encouraged to attend. Participants will be able to meet kindergarten teachers, enjoy a taste from the school menu, find a bus, explore the playground and connect with many local resources.

“We had a committee develop this event as a way to ease the big transition to being a kindergartener,” Yaquina View Elementary School Principal and Taste of Kindergarten committee member.Kristin Becker said.

“Our hope is that by attending ‘A Taste of Kindergarten,’ the kids will be less overwhelmed by the building, buses and eating in the cafeteria. They will also get to meet our kindergarten teachers before coming back for registration at the end of summer.”

Each of the area elementary schools have events planned:

Toledo Elementary, 600 SE Sturdevant Road, Toledo, OR 97391 Phone 541-336-5121

Taft’s James leads way, three others post top 10’s in prestigious Prefontaine

Taft freshman Kadence James, second from right, graces the podium with a third-place showing

Kadence James has gone from pinning opponents on a mat to landing on one from increasingly higher heights. On Saturday, the high-jump specialist leaped for the stars as just a freshman performing in Oregon’s premier regular-season high school track and field meet.

“It is definitely one of my top sports achievements,” the burgeoning 15-year-old Taft High track star said after leading the Tigers with a tie for third in the cold and rain against 36 participants from all classifications in the prestigious Prefontaine Rotary Invitational in Coos Bay.

“It was pouring rain and the track was puddling,” said James, who also competes on Taft High’s wrestling team. “They had to keep stopping the event to brush the water off the runway.”

COMPLETE INDIVIDUAL RESULTS

Three other Tigers joined James in the top 10 Saturday, with junior Kaden Wright finishing fourth and seventh in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, respectively; sophomore JJ French seventh in the pole vault; and senior Savannah Russo eighth in the javelin.

“I feel good about my jumping today,” said James. who soared 4 feet, 8 inches, then said her goal is to improve her personal-best leap of 4-10 to 5-2 in Taft’s quest to compete at State in mid-May at Mt. Hood Community College.

Saturday’s meet, which honors legendary American Olympic distance runner Steve Prefontaine in his birthplace, draws one of the most competitive fields in the high school ranks with 26 teams 6A to 2A competing in the boys competition and 22 in the girls.

Also placing in the top 20 for the Taft boys were senior Micah McLeish (11th in the 3,000 meters, 14th mile); junior Elin Fitch (12th triple jump, 14th high jump); senior Mad Scott (15th javelin); junior Edson Fuentes (16th mile); senior Jacob Mayoral (20th 400 meters); and freshman Sam Cortes (20th mile).

Joining James and Russo with top-20 finishes for the girls were sophomore Jordyn Ramsey (14th mile, 18th 800 meters); junior Sammy Halferty (15th 400 meters); junior Brooke Orendorff (19th mile); and freshman Aubrey Scarriotta (19th 200 meters)

Class 3A Taft tied for 15th behind winning Class 5A representative North Bend in the men’s competition and 21st behind champion Class 4A member Hidden Valley in the women’s.

The Tigers return to action Thursday, April 18, when they host a league meet at Voris Field on the Taft campus.

Matt Miller

UPDATE:  North Lincoln Fire & Rescue firefighter Matt Miller has been discharged from the hospital.

I have been so blessed by all the love and support of family and friends,” Miller said.

“Just finished day four of recovery and the big concerns have been resolved. Chest tube was taken out, brain bleed stabilized and all fractures remain with no need of any type of splint or brace.

“I was released to go home today which has been so nice! I have some follow up appointments that include rehabilitation from post concussion symptoms. There is a long way to go but today was a big step in the right direction.”

UPDATE: Miller, seriously injured Thursday in a car crash, has made significant progress in the last 30 hours, according to NLFR officials.

His head injury has been stabilized and the chest tube has been removed. Miller got out of bed and took a few steps. The plan is to move him out of intensive care and into a regular hospital bed.

The family said it is overwhelmed by the community’s support and prayers.

“We’re all very concerned and our thoughts and prayers are with the family,” NLFR Capt. Jim Kusz said. “Matt is a great firefighter and a good guy. He’s an asset to our community, the staff and crews.”

Miller was involved in an accident at approximately 8 a.m. at the intersection of Highway 22 and Perrydale Road between Lincoln City and Salem, NLFR said in a Facebook post published at 12:45 a.m. Friday.

Tigers sweep league home softball doubleheader with Warrenton

Host Taft High reversed its league fortunes following a season-opening home loss to Rainier by sweeping a Special District 1 softball doubleheader Friday with Warrenton.

“The girls played well today,” Taft coach Sandy Stuart said following 8-1 and 9-3 victories. “I was proud of their composure. Those were important wins for us in league.”

Junior Emma Coulter

The Tigers improved to 9-4 and 2-1 in conference play behind junior starting pitcher Emma Coulter. Coulter struck out 13 and surrendered just three hits in the opener, and fanned five and yielded a lone triple in the second game.

“Emma pitched amazing from start to finish,” Stuart said. “She was putting more velocity on the ball and focusing on each out.”

Freshman Addie Gates went 3-for-4 in the opener, while junior Hailee Danneker and freshman Olivia Coulter had two hits each. Coulter drove home three runs in support of her older sister, and Gates two.

Gates, freshman Chloe Peterson and Emma Coulter scored two runs apiece for Taft.

“The defense worked behind Emma and our offense was aggressive,” Stuart said. “We timed the pitching and put the ball in play a lot more today than we have been. We were aggressive on the bases, which led to more runs.”

Sophomore Claira Tolan had two hits to lead the Tigers in the second game, while Gates scored twice. Emma Coulter, freshman Lily Hatton, junior Corey VanDamme, Peterson and Tolan drove home a run each for Taft.

“Going in to the second game we continued to play well,” Stuart said. “We had one inning where we had a few mishaps and misplayed balls. In previous games that has brought us down and ruined our momentum, but today it didn’t. The girls rallied to stay in control and worked together to bring themselves back up, which was huge.”

The Warriors fell to 3-5 and 0-2 in their opening league action of the season.

Taft returns to the diamond at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Willamina.

Warriors start fast, take two league games from Taft baseball team

Senior Cody Knott (Photos by Lon French)

Visiting Warrenton jumped on top 2-0 in the top of the first inning of both games Friday and never trailed while handing Taft High its first-ever losses in new Special District 2 league play.

“We struggled today against a team that was fundamentally sound,” Taft coach Matt Hilgers said. “We were flat the first game and couldn’t get out of that funk. We let what happened in Game 1 carry over into Game 2.”

The Warriors, making their SD2 debut, collected 10 hits off junior starter Eli DeMello and junior reliever Trenton Fisher to hand the Tigers a 7-5 defeat in the opener before making a third-inning run in the second game stand up for a 3-2 victory over senior starter Bleiz Kimbrough.

Junior Eli DeMello

Taft fell to 5-8, 1-2, while Warrenton improved to 6-2, 2-0 with the doubleheader sweep at the Pit.

“We made some mistakes in the field in the first game that came back to bite us in the end,” Hilgers said. “We had a really bad approach at the plate and we continued to make the same mistakes at the plate throughout the 14 innings.”

Sophomore Fco Ramos

DeMello, senior Cody Knott and sophomore Fco Ramos led the Tigers with two hits each in the opener, with DeMello driving in two runs and sophomore Darius Smith scoring twice.

DeMello tripled, while Ramos and Smith doubled for Taft, which committed three errors and left 10 runners stranded despite scoring four of its five runs in the final three frames after Warrenton had built a 7-1 lead.

Fisher struck out six in five innings of relief for the Tigers in a rare pitching performance demanded by a schedule calling for several Friday doubleheaders this season.

DeMello maintained his hot hitting in the second game by going 3-for-3 to lead the Tigers at the plate.

Ramos and junior Lucas Hindman scored once each, and Smith and sophomore Ethan Thomas drove in runs for the Tigers.

Kimbrough went the distance and struck out seven.

Taft returns to the diamond at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Willamina.

“We need to work on being consistent,” Hilgers said. “Right now, we are showing signs of being a good ball club, but we are struggling with maintaining that. We play Tuesday at Willamina and we need to come out with a better mindset.”

Taft girls weather modified event; honor departing senior golfers

The weather wasn’t inviting, but the post-match hot chocolate was Thursday as Taft High continued its tradition of using its annual home tournament to honor its departing seniors.

“The weather was a major factor in everyone’s play with constant rain, wind and standing water throughout the course,” longtime Taft assistant coach Lauren Sigman said. “Our players did well battling the elements.”

Olivia Baker

Seniors Olivia Baker, Violet Palermini and Lydia Prins were honored as inclement conditions forced the Taft Invitational to be modified from 18 holes to a nine-hole format with varsity players taking on the front nine and JV the back at Chinook Winds Golf Resort.

Palermini posted the team low of 49, followed closely by junior Sammy Halferty at 51.

“Sammy, unfortunately, was assessed a two-stoke penalty, along with another player, for holing out with the wrong ball,” Sigman said. “Both players followed the process exactly as they should, asking for assistance on the scoring when they came in, and were great sports about using the penalty as a learning opportunity.”

Lydia Prins

Prins and sophomore Veronica Jin both posted scores without having to pick up on any holes, “which was quite a feat with the conditions,” Sigman said.

Freshman newcomer Max Kirkendall participated in her first match of the season, competing with the other JV golfers on the modified back nine.

“The girls were greeted by some much-needed hot chocolate at the end of their round,” Sigman said. “The course staff was extremely helpful in assisting and coordinating the set-up of the course to make it conducive to the tournament for the athletes.”

Taft returns to the tee Monday, April 15, at Newport’s Agate Beach Golf Course.
