Junior reliever Bleiz Kimbrough made the most of a rare start Tuesday with a one-hit, 10-strikeout road shutout of Sheridan for Taft High’s 10th straight victory and seventh in a row shortened by the state’s 10-run mercy rule.

The top-ranked Tigers moved to 16-2 overall and 7-0 in Class 3A West Valley League play behind the southpaw’s 10-0 five-inning victory over the Spartans, who fell to 1-13, 0-7.

“We came out flat tonight and the energy went where we need it to be,” Taft Coach Matt Higers said. “We were glad to get the win tonight, but we know we better be looking ahead and not overlook anyone.”

The Tigers scored a run in the top of the second inning and three in the third before erupting for six in the fourth for a 10-0 lead after defeating the Spartans 28-0 at home on March 21.

Junior second baseman Cody Knott went 3-for-3 with four RBIs to lead the Tigers at the plate. Senior shortstop Josh Salsbery and sophomore Eli DeMello, playing third, had two hits each for Taft.

Senior centerfielder Caleb King drove home three runs, while King, Salsbery and senior first baseman Jack Stempel scored twice each.

Salsbery, Stempel and junior Kam Kessler, starting at catcher, also drove home runs for the Tigers, while DeMello, Knott and cousins Tyee and Trenton Fisher scored once apiece.

Sophomore Josh Rogers had Sheridan’s only hit, while junior starter Cole Arthur suffered the loss.

The Tigers host Horizon Christian/Tualatin (10-3, 4-1) at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at The Pit. The Hawks, who defeated Dayton (6-10, 3-3) 8-6 at home on Tuesday, were the last team to hold Taft under 10 runs despite losing 4-1 to the Tigers at home on April 3.

Taft High senior track star Gabe Arce-Torres will sign a letter of intent to attend Western Oregon University on Wednesday, May 2, in the Taft High Commons.

Arce-Torres, who turns 18 Saturday, will join senior golfer Maya Hatton and senior soccer player Naomi Rini at 11:45 a.m. in signing letters to attend colleges on athletic scholarships. Hatton has committed to play at the College of Idaho in Caldwell, while Rini has committed to Blue Mountain Community College in Pendleton (see below).

“I’m just overjoyed with the opportunity to continue running in college,” Arce-Torres said. “Collegiate sports have always been my dream and it’s amazing to see all the hard work pay off.”

Also a star soccer player, Arce-Torres is the defending Class 3A State titleholder in the 200-meter dash. He intends to study marine biology in the field of natural sciences at the NCAA Division II school in Monmouth.

“As a coach, I am pleased he decided to go D2 rather than NAIA. The competition is much higher and the facilities much nicer,” his father and coach, Joey Arce-Torres, said. “As his father, I love that he is closer to home and that the campus is larger and provides more opportunities for his studies.”

A first-team All-State player and three-time team captain in soccer, the 5-foot, 11-inch, 145-pound National Honor Society member owns a 3.75 grade point average and is the 2017 West Valley League Runner of the Year.

“Ultimately, I am just thankful for all the time I have put into this sport and the fact that I get to continue doing what I love for the next four years of my life,” Arce-Torres said.

Arce-Torres also swam for Taft and was the only swimmer to qualify for State in an individual event (50-meter freestyle). He is the only current Taft athlete to compete at State in every sport he or she has participated in.

“I am extremely proud of him and his work ethic,” his coach and father said.

Taft High senior Maya Hatton rallied from two shots down at the turn Monday to catch Salem Academy star and longtime rival Katie Goodwin and win the Special District 2 Preview girls golf tournament in Aumsville.

Hatton shot 39 on the back nine for an 18-hole 46-39—85 to win by two strokes over the former Blanchet Catholic player at Santiam Golf Club.

“Again, I can’t say enough about Maya’s hard work,” her coach and mother, Heather Hatton, said.

Taft placed second behind the co-op team of Salem Academy and Blanchet Catholic. A merger of the two squads earlier this season allowed Goodwin to play on a team rather than as an individual this season, Hatton said.

“It created a strong team in our league that will be hard to beat,” she said.

Taft junior Violet Palermini carded her lowest career round with a 102.

“She was hitting her irons very well and has just been working on relaxing and not getting so nervous,” Hatton said. “When Violet just goes out to play golf for fun instead of for score, she does well.”

Junior Olivia Baker compiled a 108 for Taft’s third-best score.

“I’m ready for her to break through 100 any time,” Hatton said. “She works so hard and is striking the ball very well.”

Sophomore Sammy Halferty posted the low round of her career at 110, while senior Jocelyn Arguello shot 121 and sophomore Noa Stoll 127.

“These athletes are working hard,” Hatton said. “Lately, our focus is to just get out and play. They know what to do. They just need to keep playing so they practice how to score low. Short game is key.”

The District 2 tournament is scheduled May 7-8 at Santiam Golf Club.

Hospital staff traveled to Uganda for annual medical mission

Local News

Dr. Alexa LaFaunce hands stickers to a crowd of children.

For the past 25 years, a group of physicians and other staff from Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital have participated in medical mission trips around the world, organized through the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church.

This year’s two-week trip, held earlier this year, included two days at Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement in Uganda. More than 70,000 people live at the settlement, displaced by a brutal civil war in the neighboring country of Congo.

Next, the team spent five days in the city of Ishaka. Stationed outside of Ishaka Adventist Hospital, all care was provided outdoors, sheltered by tents.

Under the guidance of Dr. Erling Oksenholt, this year’s team included Dr. Raj Baman, Dr. Alexa LaFaunce and Dr. Janine VanSant, along with pharmacist Dr. Joe Evans, registered nurse Laura Smith and others from the community, including Johnie Souza, a mental health care provider. While the mission trip is sponsored by the SDA Church, mission participants need only be qualified and willing workers.

Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital has supported the trip all these years by allowing several providers and other clinicians to be away from work at the same time. The hospital has also provided medications for the teams to take.

As a guest on a recent radio broadcast of the “Samaritan Health Report,” Souza told about the trip from her point of view.

“The doctors were busy seeing people with an array of medical problems,” she said. “They saw an incredible garden variety of minor problems to major trauma. Ulcers, significant trauma from physical brutalization, someone suffering from headaches for 10 years, chest trauma from being hit with the butt of a rifle….”

This is the second year she participated. Previous trips have taken medical teams to where there is need and where there are connections to make it happen: throughout Africa, Asia and South America. Those not familiar with conditions in these third-world countries are quick to notice the infrastructure is quite different, the poverty is severe, and the culture is, of course, foreign.

“There is poverty in the U.S. and in Lincoln County, but there is no comparison to what I saw in Uganda,” she said. “Homes don’t have running water and a lot of people work very difficult manual labor jobs.”

As an example, Souza told about a woman with only one usable arm who picked tea leaves 12 hours a day in stifling heat as her only source of income.

While Souza provided some mental health counseling during the trip, her primary task was to provide counseling before and after HIV testing of patients.

“You have to put your western mindset away for a moment,” she said. “I told myself, pretend you are a citizen of the world and don’t place value judgments on others.”

For instance, it’s common in African countries for men to have more than one wife and to have mistresses. The wife has little moral or legal standing. Sexual assault is rampant.

“Their experiences are completely different from mine,” Souza said, “but it was important for me to engage immediately, to develop a rapport right away. People can tell if you really care or if you are just checking off a box. I had to get creative in helping women to be safe.”

The medical mission team members were assisted by the local university’s medical and nursing students, who acted as translators.

“My level of respect for the students is tremendous. Despite the severe poverty, they make every effort to get this education,” Souza said. “Dr. Oksenholt facilitates and encourages us to provide scholarships to the students so they can continue to do their work. A hundred dollars — that’s a month of coffee or soda at Starbucks for some people — that amount of money can help these kids finish their education, to become a doctor, a nurse or a midwife.”

After an incredibly intense and wonderful week of treating patients, the team took a week to decompress. Souza and others hiked into the Bwindi National Forest to see gorillas in the wild.

“It is so cool that Samaritan allows their staff to do this. It’s more than just sending people to work for two weeks. It’s paying it forward so the next generation of doctors and nurses and midwives can serve their own community. We are helping people achieve their goals.”

Winning Tigers warm up to tougher greens in boys golf match

Playing in warm weather and on quick greens on the home course of the 2016 NCAA champion Oregon Ducks, the Taft High boys golf team used a team-leading 81 from junior Logan Merry to emerge victorious Monday at a non-qualifying event in Creswell.

The Tigers, playing short-handed with four players at Emerald Valley Golf Club, defeated previously unbeaten Blanchet Catholic, also playing with just four golfers, 388-397 in a casual 18-hole match that included East Linn Academy and Santiam Christian. Individuals also competed from Waldport, Regis and Amity.

Merry, Taft’s leading player, teed off under blue skies and a little warmer weather than last week’s rainy match at Mallard Creek Golf Club near Lebanon, to shoot 43-38—81, his second lowest score of the season to finish third.

Playing on faster greens that were true but tough, according to Taft head coach Andy Morgan, senior Bonny Patel carded a 48-46—94.

Junior William Brooks came ready to play with “a strong attitude” and shot 51-55—106 under sunny skies, Morgan said.

Anchoring the Tigers was senior Dawson Wood, who carded a personal-low 52-55–107 in his sixth competition of the season.

“Dawson has worked every day on improving upon his consistent fairway play,” Morgan said.

The Tigers will travel to Central Oregon for three days of golf at Quail Run Golf Course over the weekend before hosting the Special District 2 District Championships May 7-8 at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort in Gleneden Beach.

Lincoln City swimmers prove there’s no place like home

Come gather ’round people, wherever you roam

And admit that the waters, around you have grown

And accept it that soon, you’ll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth saving, then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin’

Bob Dylan

Huge drops in times were the order of the day throughout the weekend as several swimmers posted their lifetime-best efforts in kicking off the summer swimming season in the Lincoln City Community Center pool.

The Lincoln City Swim Club boys, led by a dominant group of 12-and-under athletes, splashed their way to the team title, while the girls placed third Sunday in the annual April Invitational that featured approximately 230 competitors. More than a thousand family, friends and fans thrust a shot in the arm of the local economy over three days of competition that showcased young swimmers of all ages in various sprint and distance events.

The competition, which began Friday evening with the longer races, included qualifying heat races and finals in the sprints and other events as the weekend progressed. Featured was competitive drama that ran the gamut from early elementary schoolers to teenagers.

Lincoln City Swimmers — On starting blocks, left to right, Charlotte Lunstedt, Evan Halferty, Logan Meyer and Heidi Moreno.

Highly decorated Sam Cortes, who had missed practice recently to perform in the orchestra for the Taft High 7-12 production of the Wizard of Oz, confirmed there’s no place like home by swimming four “A” times, while 7-year-old Daisy Cobos won the 200-meter swim in her first-ever event.

“It was a great experience for the kids, sort of a short- and long-course event,” said longtime LCSC and Taft High Coach Lissa Parker of the nine-team meet that was contested in a pool of approximately 33 yards, an unusual length for most Oregon venues.

Among the biggest drops in times were posted by: Abby Halferty, 25 seconds, 200 freestyle; Cooper Holloway, 17, 100 back; Logan Meyer, 28, 200 free; Angel Moreno, 16, 200 free and 17, 200 individual medley; Heidi Moreno, 15, 25 breaststroke; Isabelle Serrato, 26, 100 breast; Noah Serrato, 26, 200 free; and Mike Young, 48, 200 IM.

The Evenson brothers and Jose Luis Cortes garnered several “B” times. Thirteen-year-old Mugen Evenson earned a State time in the 50 free.

Talk about a short shelf life!

Taft High sophomore Ella Knott broke her own school record in the javelin Friday after setting the mark just two days earlier in Corvallis.

Knott hurled the javelin 130 feet, 6 inches at the Central Coast Invitational track and field meet in Florence mere hours after breaking Rose Hollingsworth’s 13-year-old school record with a throw of 129 feet, 2 inches.

Knott also won the pole vault with a personal-best jump of 8 feet in leading the Taft girls to sixth place in the 13-team event hosted by Siuslaw High School.

The Taft boys, led by senior sprinter Gabe Arce-Torres’ victories in the 200- and 400-meter dashes, placed fifth.

Perennial Class 4A power Philomath won both the boys and girls team titles.

While Knott was the only Taft representative with a top-three finish in the girls competition, senior distance runner Preston Nightingale won the 1,500-meter run, Arce-Torres finished second in the 100 and junior Mad Scott was third in the javelin for the boys.

Sophomore Emma Coulter hit and pitched Taft High to victory with two RBIs and a six-hitter Friday for a key 4-2 home win over Dayton in a showdown between unbeaten West Valley League teams.

“Tonight’s game was a huge win for us,” Taft coach Sandy Stuart said. “We came out totally confident and clear-headed. We earned a big win and a big step in taking the league title. Dayton is a rival in our league and the team to beat.”

Coulter survived the hitting of leadoff batter Malina Ray, who collected half of Dayton’s hits and scored both runs, by shutting the Pirates down after Taft scored twice in the bottom of the third inning to tie the game, 2-2. The Tigers (10-5, 4-0 West Valley) scored two times in the fifth off Pirates’ starter Ani Heidt to secure the win.

“Emma pitched an amazing game,” Stuart said. “She worked hard from start to finish.”

Senior third baseman Naomi Rini, sophomore catcher Hailee Dannecker and freshman shortstop Claira Tolan had two hits each for Taft, while Dannecker and senior centerfielder Alyysa Tanksley drove home runs against the Pirates (10-6, 4-1).

Dannecker scored twice and Rini and freshman leadoff hitter Kyla Knott once each for the Tigers.

“Not only did we have nine base hits off of a great pitcher, but we played tough defense and maintained a winning attitude throughout the game,” said Stuart, who cited Dannecker for a pivotal throw to second to help keep the Pirates off the base paths.

Coulter, Knott and senior Madison Clanton had Taft’s other hits.

“Our defense was placed in different positions, but they rose to the occasion and played so well,” Stuart said. “The girls really wanted the win and it showed.”

Tigers crank up hit machine in 19-0 rout of Dayton

Now we know precisely why the Taft High baseball team is recognized as the finest small-school team in the state.

Every batter collected at least one hit and scored and drove in at least one run Friday in a hitting exhibition likely to rival any in school history as the No. 1-ranked Tigers routed Dayton 19-0 in a West Valley League home game limited to five innings by the 10-run mercy rule.

“We had some guys who have been slumping come out of it today,” Taft coach Matt Hilgers said.

No kidding.

The first-place Tigers scored 11 runs in the first inning and eight in the second, and supported senior starter Jack Stempel with 18 hits to win their ninth straight game and sixth in a row with 10 runs or more.

“When the team jumps out early, it makes our job easier,” Hilgers said.

Centerfielder Caleb King went 3-for-3 with three runs and five RBIs for Taft as six of the nine players collected at least two hits each against three Dayton pitchers.

Stempel held the Pirates (6-9, 3-2 West Valley) to just two hits, struck out five and walked none for the Tigers (15-2, 6-0), who have averaged 11.5 runs this season.
Senior Josh Salbery and sophomore Trenton Fisher also had three hits each for Taft. Sophomore Eli DeMello drove in four runs and scored three times, along with King, Salsbery and sophomore Caleb Jones.

“This was one of those days that anyone could have been throwing against us and we would have hit,” Hilgers said. “We were zoned in and had some good approaches at the plate.”

Taft plays next at last-place Sheridan (1-12, 0-6) Tuesday, April 24. The Tigers defeated the Spartans 28-0 at home earlier this season.

Lincoln City Swim Club April Invitational 2018

Approximately 230 athletes from throughout Oregon have converged in the Community Center pool this weekend for the Lincoln City Swim Club’s annual April Invitational.

Competition, open to the public with concessions and raffles, were held in the 200- and 400-meter races Friday night, and will resume at 10 a.m. Saturday in the sprints and 9:30 a.m. Sunday. The event will conclude at approximately 1:30 p.m. each day.

Twenty-three members of the Lincoln City Swim Club (LCSC) swam Friday night in various 200-meter, short-course age-group events, including 7-year-old Daisy Cobos for the first time.

“It’s a kickoff for the summer season since we swim short-course meters and a lot of families love to come down to the beach,” LCSC coach Lissa Parker said.
