Tigers drop non-league road softball game at Clatskanie

PHOTOS BY CLAIRA TOLANTaft Tigers softball team

The Taft High softball team, riddled by illness, injuries and travel, lost for the first time in Oregon this season Thursday in a battle of top-five ranked Class 3A teams, 8-4 at Claskanie.

“After the three-hour plus bus ride, we came out pretty flat,” Lady Tigers Coach Sandy Stuart said. “We had some girls suffering from illness, both caused by the ride and just bugs. We just couldn’t get the momentum needed early on.”

Clatskanie, also nicknamed the Tigers, improved to 16-2, in the non-league game behind the combined pitching efforts of freshmen Shelby Blodgett and Katy Sizemore. Starter Blodgett struck out eight and scattered six hits over five innings, while Sizemore silenced Taft over the final two stanzas.

Taft sophomore starter Emma Coulter, who has fought a fever all week, took a line drive off the hip in the first inning before going the distance and walking five against three strikeouts.

The Tigers also played without starting freshman shortstop Claira Tolan, one of the squad’s leading hitters, who sprained an ankle while sliding into a base Tuesday at Sheridan.

“It definitely hurt not having Claira’s bat in the lineup today, but we did collect more hits than they did,” Stuart said. “A couple of moments could have changed that whole game.”

Seniors McKenzie Evenson and Alyssa Tanksley, freshman Makena Cole and Coulter had two hits each for Taft, while Coulter drove home two runs. Evenson and Cole had Taft’s other RBIs.

“I feel like we need to just learn from our mistakes and build on this,” Stuart said. “This doesn’t change any of our goals, and we know what we need to work on to move forward.”

The loss snapped a six-game winning streak for the Tigers (12-7, 4-0 Class 3A West Valley League), who started the season 6-0 before dropping five straight games to bigger schools in a spring break tournament in California.

Taft returns to the diamond Saturday at home for a noon doubleheader against Colton (6-6, 3-1 3A PacWest). The Tigers resume league play at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday at Amity.

Streaking Tigers show no mercy in rolling to 11th straight victory

History — and sheer common sense — said it wasn’t supposed to be like this Thursday afternoon at The Pit in a showdown of highly regarded Class 3A high school baseball teams.

First baseman Jack Stempel drove home three runs, including one in the bottom of the first inning behind winner Caleb King, to get No. 1-ranked Taft off and running to its 11th straight victory — 11-1 over fifth-rated Horizon Christian/Tualatin.

“We came out with lots of energy, hit the ball and Caleb pitched a heck of a game,” shortstop Josh Salsbery said of Taft’s eighth West Valley League win without a loss. “It was a great game all around for everybody.”

Taft flexed its muscle on Senior Night by tallying eight more runs in the third inning and two in the bottom of the fifth in their eighth straight game abbreviated by the state’s 10-run mercy rule.

“Mercy, mercy, me . . . things ain’t what they used to be . . .”

Apologies to Marvin Gaye and his 1971 classic, but the Tigers, who reached the second round of the State playoffs last season for the first time in 49 years, have now outscored their league opponents 105-3 — or by better than 13 runs per game.

“It’s always more comforting when you’re at the plate knowing you can relax, know your defense is going to show up no matter what, and know the guys behind you are going to have your back,” Salsbery said.

Josh Salsbery, Defender

The Hawks (10-4, 4-2) entered Thursday’s game as the last team to hold Taft under 10 runs, which they accomplished more than three weeks ago in a 4-1 home loss on April 3. Taft, which swept its first tour through conference play, stayed unbeaten in the second half of its home-and-home series with league opposition by limiting Horizon Christian to three hits and a lone run in the top of the fifth.

“Our defense showed up and made some outstanding plays in the field to back me up on the mound,” King said of layout and sliding circus catches by sophomore Caleb Jones and junior Tyee Fisher, respectively. “On the offensive side, we did what we always do and put pressure on them. We took care of business today.”

Even the Lincoln City Fire Department, there to cheer on the Tigers, couldn’t cool off the graduating senior triumvirate of tri-captains Salsbery, Stempel and King. They accounted for five of Taft’s RBIs and four of the Tigers’ runs.

“We came out and hit the ball really well and our defense was on lockdown,” Stempel said.

Eli DeMello, Fisher and Jones had two hits each, while DeMello scored three runs and Salsbery two for the Tigers. Eight different Tigers touched home plate, while DeMello, a sophomore catcher, had four of Taft’s six stolen bases.

“This was another big win tonight. It’s nice to get a win on Senior Night,” Taft Coach Matt Hilgers said. “We have been a tough team to beat at home, and tonight was another example of us playing some of our better baseball at home.”

King struck out four and surrendered just three hits in notching the win on the hill for the Tigers.

“Caleb threw great tonight, just like he always does,” Stempel said. “It is nice to have a guy on the mound that pounds the strike zone and is so reliable.”

Taft concludes its season with five straight road games, beginning Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. against Amity (5-6, 3-4).

“This was a huge game for us,” said Stempel, whose Tigers built a two-game league cushion over Santiam Christian (12-6, 6-2), which was idle.

“We will be on the road for the next couple of weeks and that is going to challenge us,” Hilgers said. “We are focused on the next game and its importance.”

Gmail changes explained – New features

0

Gmail Changes

Google just rolled out massive changes to its Gmail app to over 1.4 billion mobile and desktop users. This may be the biggest and most significant upgrade in Gmail’s history.

New features include confidential mode, offline support, email snoozing and more, making Gmail smarter, more secure and easier to use.

1. Self-Destructing Emails

With this feature you can send emails that disappear from the recipients inbox after a set amount of time (between one day and five years). You can revoke at any time, even after you have sent the email.

2. Un-Forwardable Emails

Confidential emails now open in a special window that won’t allow the recipient to forward, copy or print the email. But keep in mind they can still grab a screenshot or take a photo from their phone.

 

3. Two-factor Authentication (2FA) for Emails

If you have a very sensitive email you can enable 2FA for the email, making recipients enter a secret passcode sent to them via SMS before opening it.

The best part about the confidential features is that they will work even with emails sent to non-Gmail users, requiring them to click on a link before opening confidential emails.

Better for Work

Besides security and AI, Google added a bunch of new management features.

1. Offline Mode

Using Gmail offline has been possible with a third party Chrome plugin that users had to install, but now with the built-in offline mode you can respond to emails while on a plane and when you reconnect to a network they will send thanks to Progressive Web Apps (PWA).

2. High-priority Notifications

This is not a new feature but an important one to point out. Gmail will send you notifications for incoming emails if Gmail thinks you need to see it. It bases its recommendations on how you respond to a sender’s emails and has been around for about a year.

3. Gmail Tasks

This has been around for some time as a to-do list but it has been given a major upgrade focusing on managing work on the go. From your messages to your calendar.

The biggest new change to Gmail is the big sidebar on the right. This gives you quick access to Google Tasks, Calendar, notes, and any other third party that uses Google’s add-on technology, like DocuSign.

4. Inbox Enhancers

It is now possible to take actions on an email without opening it. You can open attachments in an email without having to click on the email itself. You can RSVP to calendar invites and snooze messages without opening them.

5. One-tap unsubscribe

Gmail now proactively asks you to unsubscribe  when it notices you don’t click or always delete certain emails.

6. Anti-Phishing Enhancements

Banner warnings have gotten bigger to alert users that they shouldn’t click links in dodgy emails.

Better Organization

1. Email Snoozing

Now you can snooze emails to make life easier when answering emails. Basically if you know an email is going to require a lengthy response and you don’t have the time, you can snooze it for later. Once snoozed, that email will hide from the inbox and show up again at the time you choose.

2. Nudges

If the Gmail AI thinks there is an email in your inbox that it thinks you need to know about, it will show you the email at the top of your inbox and let you know how long its been sitting there.

3. Smart Replies

Mobile users have had this since 2015. The intelligent touch-button responses are now a part of the web version of Gmail.

Getting the new Gmail

Getting this new version of Gmail depends on what kind of account you have.

If you are a regular Gmail user you can click on the settings icon in the top-right corner and select “Try the new gmail” option, if available.

If you use G Suite for work or school, you can enable the new Gmail through the Early Adopter Program.

These features are not all available at the moment.

Taft girls golfers get sneak preview of State tournament venue

Tigers Girls Golf

Players from five schools got a taste Wednesday of what play in the OSAA Class 4A/3A/2A/1A State Girls Golf Championships will look like next month during an 18-hole preview match at Quail Valley Golf Course in Banks.

Valley Catholic, Oregon Episcopal School, Scappoose, Salem Academy/Blanchet Catholic and Waldport competed in a dress rehearsal that showcased the course that will serve as site for the 36-hole State tournament May 14-15.

Valley Catholic’s Caroline Hobson claimed medalist honors with an 82, followed by Morgan Hall of Scappoose, Katie Goodwin of Salem Academy/Blanchet Catholic and Maya Hatton of Taft.

Hatton, a senior, carded a 92 to pace the Tigers, while sophomore Sammy Halferty proved to be the team’s standout performer with a career-low 106 for 12th place among the 34 golfers who competed on the heavily bunkered, water-lined layout.

“Maya struck the ball very well,” Taft Coach Heather Hatton said. “I watched her hit some great shots, but the lack of knowledge of the course put her in some tough spots. Now that she has played this once she will be more prepared.”

Hatton strayed into some traps and weathered a couple of hazard strokes that contributed to her score, but saved some shots with her chipping and play around the greens, her coach and mother said.

“It was impressive to watch her take on a new course and manage the unknown like she did,” she said.

Halferty used her powerful game off the tee and from the fairway to take advantage of the championship layout.

“She followed up her long game with good touch around the greens,” Hatton said. “It’s fun to see Sammy enjoy the game, and for me to see her put her game together like this. We have worked hard on her tempo and short game and it is paying off.”

Taft carded a team score of 434 despite uncharacteristically crooked cards from juniors Olivia Baker and Violet Palermini, who shot 117 and 119, respectively.

Pacific University

“They were striking the ball well, but they just got into some trouble and weren’t used to the faster greens,” Hatton said. “I was impressed with their shots, and the fact they really looked at today as an opportunity to get a feel of the course.”

Senior Jocelyn Arguello finished at 131 in the heat on the unfamiliar design.

“This is the first time our team has seen this course, and our main goal was to check it out and get familiar with it in the situation that we make it to State as a team,” Hatton said. “We have a good chance this year, but I never take it for granted. Waldport is on our heels, and Blanchet/Salem Academy is a clear frontrunner with their new co-op team.”

Cystic Fibrosis – Great Strides walk for a cure

0

Cystic Fibrosis

Cystic Fibrosis is a recessive genetic disease that is progressive in its damage to the body. There are 30,000 Americans and 70,000 worldwide that live with CF everyday. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, pancreas and other internal organs. The mucus clogs the airways in the lungs, trapping bacteria and causes extensive damage, eventually leading to respiratory failure. In the pancreas, the mucus prevents digestive enzymes from releasing, causing malnutrition due to the inability of the body to process nutrients. There have been huge breakthroughs in medicine dealing with the symptoms of CF but there is currently no cure.

Luna BannerLuna Banner is our 3.5 yr old and she has Cystic Fibrosis. She takes medication for digestion, acid reflux and additional vitamins. She has to ingest extra salt with a special, high fat diet. She goes through hours of respiratory treatments every day (inhalers, nebulizers, compression vest therapy) in an attempt to loosen and clear the mucus from her airways. In addition, she has regular 3 month checkups, at times more frequent if she is actively sick. If she has been consistently sick or under the weather, she is admitted into the hospital for a “tune up”, where she undergoes 10-14 days of IV antibiotics with intense respiratory treatments and possibilities of surgery. Luna has had three admissions already that have included surgeries.

The CF community and families strive to raise awareness for those effected by this insidious disease and to raise funds in an effort to find a cure. Every year the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation holds events all over the United States, Great Strides being one of them. We all join the team, we all help raise money, and then we all walk together at our event (virtual walking is available). This is where you come in, dear reader. We ask that you join Team Moon Flower or make a donation. Help the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation accomplish their mission in finding a cure. Walk today to help save lives tomorrow.

June 2, 2018 in Salem at Capitol State Park. Check in at 9 a.m., walk starts at 10 a.m.

We have known Tom Branford for over forty years

Tom Branford

To the Editor:

We have known Tom Branford for over forty years. He is honest, hard working, and down to earth. He is also a dedicated family man.

Although he has worked as a deputy district attorney (1973-1977) and as an attorney in private practice (1977-1989), Lincoln County has elected Tom Branford to serve as a judge for most of his career. Of the candidates, no one knows more about the courts, the law, and the people of Lincoln County than Judge Branford.

Lincoln County needs Judge Branford’s character, good judgment and common sense. Let’s vote to keep him.

Lady Tigers outscore Sheridan 56-3 for two softball victories

0

Taft Tiger Softball

Say what you want about the Taft High softball team’s spring-break tournament experience last month in California that resulted in five straight defeats to bigger out-of-state schools . . .

The Lady Tigers take losing to heart.

Unbeaten at 6-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state at the time, Taft has transformed the humbling encounters into a six-game winning streak Tuesday by pummeling Sheridan 30-3 and 26-0 on the road.

“Today was actually two of those games that are difficult to play in and to coach,” Taft Coach Sandy Stuart said. “We had the pleasure of being in the warm sunshine, and we were relaxed and hit well, but we had to adjust our game-play quite a bit.”

The Tigers improved to 12-5 and 6-0 in Class 3A West Valley League play by completing a postponed game that started with the score 9-3 with a 27-run five-inning victory. They then went on to defeat the Spartans by 26 runs in five frames in the second game.

Sheridan, which fell to 1-11, 0-6, allowed just 11 Taft hits, but walked 25 batters in the first game. The Tigers, who trailed 3-0 after the top of the first in the uncompleted game, scored nine runs in the bottom of the inning and 11 in the third to roll to the victory.

“It’s hard when the girls are hitting well and wanting to run the bases and you want to encourage their excitement, but also have to remember that there are nine other girls out on the field working hard and struggling,” Stuart said. “We did our best to play and be a classy team through both shortened games.”

Senior third baseman Naomi Rini and sophomore catcher Hailee Danneker had five RBIs apiece in the opener. Winning sophomore pitcher Emma Coulter and senior centerfielder Alyssa Tanksley had three RBIS each.

Outfielder Kyla Knott scored five runs, and fellow freshmen shortstop Claira Tolan and second baseman Kayla Lininger four runs each. All 10 players crossed home plate at least once for the Tigers.

The Spartans walked 15 in the second game, and Taft collected 17 hits as Coulter won again in the circle with a two-hitter and went 4-for-4 with four RBIs at the plate.

Knott, Rini and Denneker joined senior Madison Clanton and junior Lilly Salsbery with three RBIs each for the Tigers, who scored six runs in the first inning, seven in the third and eight in the fourth. Tanksley and freshman Makena Cole had two RBIS each.

All 10 players scored again for Taft, led by Rini with four runs. Knott, Coulter, Tanksley and Cole scored three times apiece.

Fourth-ranked Taft is at seventh-rated Clatskanie (14-2, 3-1 3A Lewis & Clark) at 4:30 p.m. Thursday. The Tigers host a noon doubleheader Saturday against Colton (5-6, 2-1 3A PacWest).
