The “Get Ready Lincoln County, Emergency Readiness Fair,” held Saturday at North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District and put on by NW Natural, taught Lincoln City residents how to prepare for all kinds of natural disasters.
Representatives from numerous agencies across Lincoln County showed off their survival and educational expertise with booths designed to help the public “Get Ready.”
The Taft High boys placed 10th and the girls 12th Saturday in the Prefontaine Memorial Invitational in Coos Bay that honors Steve Prefontaine — the most dominant American distance runner of all time.
Grants Pass won the boys team title, while Roseburg claimed the girls crown.
Lucas Hindman placed 34th to lead the way for the Taft boys team, while fellow junior Autumn Ellis placed 43rd for the girls.
The race is held in honor of Prefontaine, a Marshfield High graduate and former Olympian who, at the time of his death at age 24, held eight American distance running records. Since 1980, the community of Coos Bay has put on a 10K run to honor their native son and his passion for running. To comply with OSAA guidelines, it introduced a high school 5K race as a separate event.
Participants competed on a challenging, hilly road course that covered a portion of one of Prefontaine’s favorite training routes. The race began in downtown Coos Bay and finished on Prefontaine Track at Marshfield High.

Due to misinformation provided on the athletic.net website, Homepage incorrectly reported that Taft sophomore Claira Tolan won the girls 5,000-meter run at Thursday’s Husky Invitational near Sweet Home. Tolan notified Homepage of the mistake and the post was taken down.
Meanwhile, the Taft boys team placed ninth behind winning Newport. led by senior Micah McLeish, who finished 27th. The Tigers did not post a girls team score.
“The challenging terrain throughout the course, which consisted of a gradual incline with a substantial creek crossing made the runners have to fight until the end,” Taft coach Mandy Weiss said.

Taft High fell behind by four touchdowns twice in the first half, but outscored Class 2A power Knappa 26-20 in the second half before falling to the Loggers 52-32 Friday in a non-league road football game.
Senior quarterback David Jin threw TD strikes to senior Tyee Fisher, junior Logan Gilleo and sophomore Fco Ramos and ran for two scores as the Tigers continued to show second-half resiliency after sluggish second-quarter showings in their two road defeats.
“It was a great second-half effort, both offensively and defensively, that got us back into the game,” Taft coach Jake Tolan said. “We made some halftime adjustments and were able to come out of halftime getting some huge defensive stops that we turned around into points.”
Two crucial second-half lapses cost the Tigers a chance to close the gap to within a score after batting to within striking distance, Tolan said.
“Twice in the second half we were able to cut their lead to 14 points, but couldn’t get one more stop or one more big play,” he said. “Two plays that were critical moments that we didn’t execute well on were the long passing score we gave up right before halftime and the pick-6 in the fourth quarter.“
Class 3A Special District 1 West member Taft (1-2) returns to action at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21, against SD1 East representative Yamhill-Carlton (1-2) at Voris Field.
First Quarter
The Tigers, wearing their road whites, took possession on the opening kick at their own 30-yard line. Taft senior quarterback David Jin gained nine yards on the game’s first play before junior running back Logan Gilleo gained a first down on the next carry. Senior Kam Kessler then fumbled the exchange with Jin and the Loggers recovered at the Taft 48.
Knappa junior quarterback Eli Takalo went the distance for a touchdown on the third play from there, and a two-point conversion pass made it 8-0 Knappa early in the period.
Taft took the ensuing kick at its own 21, before the Class 2A Loggers, featuring eight two-way starters, forced the Tigers into a fourth down situation that Taft senior running back Logan McLendon converted into a first down with a short gain.
The third-ranked Loggers, 2-0 following a 70-28 victory at Toledo last week, used a penalty to force Taft into a third-and-16 inside Knappa territory. A tipped pass intended for McLendon forced another fourth down situation before Jin ran six yards short of first-down distance to surrender possession to the Loggers at the 35.
Taft forced a punt at the five-minute mark and took possession at its own 47. Jin connected with Gilleo for 11 yards on third down and a first down at the Loggers 39. Jin and Kessler combined for eight yards on first down and senior receiver Tyee Fisher caught another Jin toss for a first down in the red zone.
Junior Trenton Hall caught a pass from Jin to inch closer to the end zone before Knappa stopped play with its first timeout of the game. Jin threw incomplete to Gilleo on third down to force the fourth fourth-down situation of the game for Taft, and then overthrew Fisher to yield possession to the Loggers at their own 24.
Knappa converted a third-and-1 on a 22-yard gain by Takalo to the Taft 38. The Tigers forced a third-and-long before the Loggers came up a yard short and Taft stiffened to regain possession at its own 31. The clock then expired to end the quarter.
Second Quarter
The Loggers, who reached the State semifinals last season, forced Taft into its fifth fourth-down conversion try to start the quarter and took possession at the Taft 38. Takalo then went 28 yards to the end zone to make it 16-0 Knappa following a successful two-point conversion run.
The teams traded three-and-outs before a dropped snap on a Knappa punt changed possession on a tackle by Hall and gave Taft the ball inside the Loggers 10. Three errant plays left Taft with a fourth-and-goal at the 8 before the Tigers surrendered the ball back to Knappa for the fourth time in six fourth-down tries.
Knappa senior running back Luke Goozee gained 34 yards to get the Loggers out of poor field position, then moved into Taft territory on the next play midway through the quarter. Takalo and junior wide receiver Kanai Phillip then combined for a 30-yard score to make it 24-0 Knappa with about five minutes remaining before halftime.
The Loggers held the Tigers to a second straight three-and-out before Knappa took a Taft punt to its own 33. The Loggers managed a first down at their 44 and Goozee moved the ball inside Taft territory with a run up the middle.
After Takalo drew the Tigers offside, Taft took its second timeout as the first-half clock ticked down inside of four minutes. Goozee then ran 15 yards to inside the Taft 20. The Loggers ran 15 yards on third-and-5 for a score, but a penalty for an illegal block brought the play back to the 29. Knappa then surrendered possession on downs on an incomplete pass on fourth down.
Jin and Gilleo connected for about 20 yards to the 35, and sophomore Fco Ramos caught a pass from Jin for a first down to the Knappa 15, where the Tigers called their final timeout with 31 seconds remaining in the half. Jin overthrew McLendon on second down with 21 seconds left, before hitting Fisher for a score to make it 24-6 with 17 seconds remaining. A two-point conversion pass failed.
Knappa answered with a 48-yard scoring pass by Takalo to senior wideout Tyler Green to make it 32-6 as the first-half clock expired.
Third Quarter
Leading 32-6, Knappa fumbled the opening kick of the second half and Hall made his second opportunistic play of the game by recovering at the Loggers 30-yard line. Fisher’s fourth catch of the game put the Tigers at the 19 before Jin and Gilleo moved the ball to the 11 on two runs. Ramos then caught a first-down pass from Jin to the 3 before Jin ran it in for a touchdown to make it 32-12 after a failed two-point conversion attempt.
Knappa was unable to move the ball and punted to Taft midway through the quarter. Ramos had 15 yards added to a reception on a facemask penalty before Jin hit McLendon to the 39. McLendon hauled in another Jin pass to move inside the Loggers 5 at 6:22 of the period. Taft sophomore JJ French came up just short of a score on the ensuing play before a tipped pass from Jin was intercepted in the end zone at the 5:30 mark by Takalo, who also plays defensive back.
Knappa, starting at its own 23 after the interception return out of the end zone, failed to move the ball and surrendered possession on a punt to McLendon, who returned it 46 yards to the Loggers 19. Jin ran into the end zone from there following a block from Gilleo to make it 32-18 after a two-point conversion pass to Fisher fell incomplete.
Taft’s defense, which shut out Sutherlin in the second half of a 14-13 victory last week, made things difficult on Knappa on the next possession, and got the ball back to the offense on downs at their own 31 on the next series.
Knappa took possession on a punt on the next possession and Takalo ran for his third rushing touchdown and fifth overall following a personal foul penalty for a 40-18 lead as the third-quarter clock wound down.
Fourth Quarter
The Loggers blew through the line to pressure and intercept Jin deep in Taft territory and returned it for a score to make it 46-18 to open the quarter.
Taft reached midfield on a flare pass on its second play of the ensuing possession, and a key block by junior Connor Bailey sprung Gilleo for a 27-yard score on a pass from Jin. The TD made it 48-26 after a two-point conversion catch by McLendon.
Taft recovered an onside kick just inside midfield before Jin and Bailey connected for a gain of six at 9:11 of the period. Following a first down, Ramos caught a 32-yard strike from Jin to make it 46-32 after a two-point conversion attempt was intercepted by Goozee.
Goozee ran 28 yards on the Loggers’ next possession to the Taft 30 at the 7:30 mark. Taft jumped offside to give Knappa a first down inside the 20 at 6:23. Goozee busted up the middle from the 5 for a score to make it 52-32 at 4:48 after the conversion run failed.
Taft’s French returned the ensuing kick 18 yards to the 40 to start the Tigers’ next possession, but surrendered the ball on downs after going nowhere on four downs. French made back-to-back-tackles to hold the Loggers at bay on the next series, forcing a punt to the Taft 20 with 3:11 left.
Ramos caught a first-down pass at 2:33 before Jin ran to the Knappa 49. Jin was then sacked for the first time in the game for a loss of 12 with 1:35 to play. An 11-yard scramble made it fourth-and-1 before a desperation pass intended for Ramos was intercepted with 46 seconds to play.

More Coach Tolan post-game remarks:
“Overall, I’m proud of my team for showing the character and determination to battle back from being down 6-32 at halftime. I’m proud that we outscored them 26-20 in the second half and our defense and special teams allowed us to do that.
“Going forward, I need to find a way to get my team motivated or more ready, I guess, for the first half — and maybe not even the first half, but more just the second quarter. Our second quarter in our losses this year have really cost us wins, so trying to avoid the second quarter fatigue or let-up is what my focus will be going into next week.
“We will watch film this weekend and go back to work next week preparing for a home matchup against Yamhill-Carlton.”

The Knappa High football team prefers to run the ball, but the Loggers would be just as happy to throw it. That’s how you score 70 points in a game, which they did last week in a 70-28 road win over Toledo.
“Knappa is a very good team that has the ability to both run the ball on offense and throw the ball when they need to,” Taft Coach Jake Tolan said. “They have a good quarterback who is a dual threat and can be very dangerous when running the ball off of the inside zone read.”
While Coach Aaron Barendse’s Loggers are unbeaten at 2-0 and ranked third in Class 2A, Taft is also coming off a victory, 14-13 at home against Sutherlin in preparation for tonight’s 7 p.m. non-league road game. Tolan said he expects to see a lot of the ball on the ground, but understands the Loggers also like to air it out on occasion.
“Their running game is very similar to Harrisburg’s running game, which we faced in Week 1 [a 60-29 season-opening road defeat] and gave up more yards than we wanted to,” Tolan said. “We feel that defensively we have made some adjustments and have improved enough since the Harrisburg game that this time we will be much more successful in stopping the run.”
The Tigers were encouraged by the five turnovers they forced and the ability of their defense to rise up and stop the Bulldogs in last week’s one-point home win against Sutherlin, Tolan said.
“Last week, our defense was able to stop a very physical, run-heavy offense in Sutherlin, and we hope to do the same [Friday] against Knappa,” he said.
“What does worry us a bit is that Knappa also has the ability to pass the ball, which will be the first team we have faced this year that poses that threat to our defense. This week, we have tried to balance our time in making adjustments to stop their shotgun running attack, while also devoting time to scheme against their passing game.”
While the Tigers kept Sutherlin out of the end zone in the second half, they also failed to score after tallying the game’s final points 13 seconds before halftime on a 5-yard TD reception by Tyee Fisher and fellow senior DeVon Lindquist’s point-after.
“Our week of practice was productive, but going on the road and traveling three-plus hours will be a challenge,” Tolan said. “I’m excited for [Friday] night. We will be playing one of the best 2A teams in the state, and the matchup will be another tough road test.”
The main goal, of course, is to return home next week to face Yamhill-Carlton with a winning record.
“We need to execute better on offense and hope the personnel adjustments we have made up front on the line will give us better protection in both the running game and passing game,” Tolan said.

The host Taft High volleyball team squeaked out a thrilling second-set victory, its second set-victory of the season, but remained winless Thursday in falling to Rainier 3-1 in the team’s Class 3A Coastal Range League opener.
“I’m proud of how our team played tonight,” second-year coach Kelsey Hart said. “We had a crazy storm of injuries over the last week or so, so we were missing some of our key players tonight.”
The Columbians won for the first time in five matches this season, 25-12, 24-26, 25-21, 25-11.
Taft returns to the court Tuesday, Sept. 18, with a league match at Clatskanie.
Host Dayton High blanked Taft High in both boys and girls play Thursday in Class 3A Special District 2 soccer action.
The Pirates defeated the Tigers 2-0 in boys play and 5-0 in girls competition.
Taft fell to 3-1-1 in overall play and 2-1-1 in conference. The girls now stand 1-4, 1-3.
Boys coach Ryan Ulicni’s media release comments:
“We played a great game against a tough Dayton team. They had some great balls they won in the air and got some great attacks on goal.
“The first goal was kind of a tap-in through traffic, but the second was a straight shot to the net. Big credit to their goalkeeper for an outstanding game and stopping some great shots.
“We can’t win them all, but we can learn more from a loss. Our game could have been a bit more physical to the ball. That falls on me. There are some things I can better prepare them for with a full season still ahead of us. They played their hearts out and made me proud.
“Some fantastic individual skills and leadership from our captains (Edson Fuentes, William Calderon, William Brooks) keeping our players heads in the game. One of our captains, William Calderon, took a blow to the face from an opponent resulting in a straight red card.
“With this team’s first loss out of the way we can all get motivated to be better.”
Girls coach Joey Arce-Torres media release comments:“We have played three of top 10 teams in the state to open our season. We played well but could not buy a goal. Score should have been around 3-3.“We haven’t tallied our shots on goal, but I believe we had more. We even missed a penalty kick that could have instantly given us the momentum we so needed.“Sayge Ulrich, Fatima Lupercio, Avery Nightingale, Sammy Halferty and Aubrey Sciarrota played the entire match and battled all night.“We just need some additional good bounces to come our way. Things were not nearly as bleak as the score might display, felt like a golfer who made regulation on every hole but five-putted all 18.”
While burning of yard debris remains prohibited throughout Lincoln County, small recreational fires no larger than 3 feet around within a designated fire pit or ring away from combustibles and structures will now be allowed.
The Lincoln County Fire Defense Board, in cooperation with Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), said the areas outside of ODF’s primary protection are immediately adjacent to Highway 101 or within an incorporated city. If you are not sure whether your property is primarily protected by ODF, call the Toledo Unit Office at (541) 336-2273 or contact your local fire agency.
For those areas inside ODF protection and all areas within Yachats Rural Fire Protection District, all burning is still prohibited. The fire ban within the Yachats Fire District and ODF protected areas applies to wood, charcoal, and other flame sources that cannot be turned off with a valve. Liquid fuel stoves or cooking devices that CAN be turned off with a valve are permitted but cannot be left unattended. Designated camp fire areas, including Lincoln County Parks, are exempt meaning recreational fires will be allowed in these areas.
This burn ban will remain in effect until further notice.

Dear Mr. Kusz:
Thank you for your letter. I appreciate your critique of the meeting. I also appreciate your comments during the meeting and the support you give Mr. Forse and his event. It’s unfortunate the City’s budget is insufficient to support all of the applications for events. Each application, including the Nelscott Reef Surfing application, had merit.
I was recently asked by a reporter about the grant process and I responded that it’s very competitive and it seems to be getting more competitive each year. The Visitor and Convention Committee is very thorough when reviewing applications and making recommendations to me. Perhaps you can assist Mr. Forse with future applications. I’ve always found it helpful to have a second set of eyes looking at grant applications especially when the requirements for a grant are precise.
I don’t have animosity toward Mr. Forse although I find his criticism of Ed Dreistadt to be overly harsh. I wish him well with his endeavors.
Thank you again for your letter.
Sincerely yours, Ron Chandler City Manager

City Council sends Nelscott Reef Big Wave Classic appeal to watery grave
City of Toledo Mayor Billie Jo Smith and Councilors Terri Strom and Deanne Dunlap were recalled from their positions by Toledo Voters Sept. 11 for reportedly hiding information, conducting illegal secret meetings and being fiscally irresponsible.
Toledo citizens demanded a recall of Smith, citing questionable personnel practices, the forced termination of Municipal Judge Bruce C. Parsons, illegally participating in the termination of Fire Chief Will Ewing, and failing to disclose the forced retirement of interim Toledo City Manager Craig Martin from the City of Sweet Home to other city councilors and the public.
Smith said the goal of the recall was to replace three members of the City Council with supporters of three former City employees who were calling for the termination of the city manager.
Smith said the recall petition claims were untrue and all other claims were misrepresentations and only opinions.
Smith, who would have served her second term as Toledo mayor, plans to run again in the November election.
Toledo citizens also demanded the recall of Councilor Strom for ethics law violation, conspiring with Mayor Smith to conduct illegal closed and serial meetings with other councilors, fiscal irresponsibility, failure to investigate background and employment history of the current city manager, and incompetent evaluation and recommendation of a deeply flawed annual budget.
Council President Strom was serving her sixth year as a member of the Toledo City Council. She is running for election again in the November election.
Councilor Dunlap was also recalled by Toledo voters for the same reasons given for Strom. She did not provide a statement of justification for the recall ballot.
