IVN copy editor
The Kalmiopsis Community
Arts High School’s charter was ap-
proved by the Three Rivers School
District Board of Directors at its
Sept. 14 meeting.
KCA has been in the works
for years, the brainchild of Val-
ley educators: Kaci Elder, Kimiko
Maglio, Melissa DeNardo and Ryan
Forsythe, with previous support from
Sara Kinstler and Gina Lo Preste.
“I’m reminded of our begin-
nings, a group of parents and teach-
ers sitting around a picnic table at
the Dome School in 2014,” Forsythe
Hello from the Illinois
Valley Country Club golf
course.
Men’s Club will be

Wednesday night skins
had a nice group of about 11
guys. David chipped in for
birdie on 15 for one skin. Jim
Losey and Todd won skins as
well. Poke, David and Todd all
won KPs and Colby won the
poker hand with six cards total
and two pairs-sixes and tens.
Thursday night ladies
scored a respectable 42 and
pulled the glow balls out to
expressed in a statement responding
to the charter’s approval. “It’s been a
lot of hard work to reach this point,
and I’m excited to see where this
goes from here!”
The four co-founders all plan
to play a role in KCA’s operations
once its doors open, and will refer to
themselves as “Teacher Leaders.”
“With the flurry of emotions
that have developed from the deci-
sion of pproval, I think immense
gratitude is what is most present for
me,” remarked DeNardo. “This is
not only an accomplishment for our
team but for our incredible commu-
nity.”
Elder added, “I can’t wait
to meet the teens! We’re looking
forward to finding KCA kids -- the
finish the last two holes as
they lost about 10 balls on #7
in the increasing darkness. I
have been trying to convince
them to start at 4:30 but they
seem to like the glow balls.
Friday night skins had
just a few guys show up at
4:45 and finish before dark.
Todd and Zion took skins of
about $20 each.
The guys all traveled to
Applegate Golf Course for the
first leg of the HOME AND
HOME TOURNAMENT,
fearing the new pros who
have just become members
over there. They should not
have feared them as our guys
shot lights-out! Todd and
Tyler took first with a net 61.
As many of our members
are very busy this time of
year and could not travel,
Scott Kern’s score was used
on three teams and he shot
very well with a 62 net for
both teams, one with Mike
Milner and one with Don
Peterson. Scott’s score was
also used for the fourth place
public, private, and homeschooled
youth who’d like to try something
new.”
Maglio agreed, stating, “It is
very exciting to be in this phase of
opening KCA where we can work
hand in hand with more people in
our community to bring this high
school into fruition!”
Earlier in the meeting, Zone
II Board Member Susan Fischer-
Maki spotlighted the district’s recent
third Soul for Soles event during
the board’s Say Something Positive
segment.
“Families from the community
are able to come and get a new pair
of shoes for their children,” Fischer-
Maki said. “It was wonderful. The
thing that really struck me was what
team with a 64. The best
score for the Applegate guys
was a tie for fifth place with
Chris Olson and Zion Pittman
against lives-in-the-Illinois
Valley-but-plays-mostly-at-
Applegate-Dan Day with a
65. Other guys who went over
there included: Chaise and
D’Lynn; Troy and Jim Losey;
Eugene and Byrne and Roland
and Ryan. Dave Muswieck
and Nathan Englehorn (both
ex-pros) playing for Applegate
did manage to take two of
the possible three points from
Chaise and D’Lynn. Total
tally was Applegate with
eight points and I.V. with a
whopping 19. This coming
Saturday we will be hosting
Applegate for the second part
of the Home and Home. We
encourage spectators so come
on down and join in for some
good-natured hazing, sipping
some nice wines in the autumn
weather and some good food
from Gimmee’s menu or we
will be serving up a steak
dinner for $15.
Coming events:
Monday—last night of
twilight league. Wednesday-
-$5 skins; Thursday-Ladies’
night; Friday-$5 skins;
Saturday-Home and Home
and Sunday evening (if
everyone isn’t too tired from
the week)-$5 skins.

was happening for the parents; just
the joy and bit of extra confidence
knowing their children would be go-
ing to school tomorrow with a new
pair of shoes.”
Zone V Board Chair Jennifer
Johnstun echoed Fischer-Maki’s
praise: “I am very impressed with
the Soles event… They’re not shoes
that came from a discount bargain
store; they are really nice shoes. And
the kids I saw getting them too were
very excited about the shoes they
were getting and I think they’ll be
proud to wear them.”
Zone IV Board Member

port to the board. He recounted that

was super thankful and kind of
blown away at being together in that
space… It has reverberated into the
school year.”
The superintendent added,
“The feeling is unbelievable. I’ve
never had a better start as a principal,
director or superintendent. People
are stoked to be back at school.”
Nix puts up 5 TDs, No. 25 Oregon
takes down No. 12 BYU 41-20
Anne M. Peterson
AP Sports Writer
EUGENE, ore. (AP)
— Bo Nix likened himself to a
point guard for Oregon.
He certainly scored
like one. Nix threw for two
touchdowns and ran for three
more to lead No. 25 Oregon
to a 41-20 victory over No. 12
BYU on Saturday.
The victory extended
Oregon’s winning streak at
Autzen Stadium to 21 games,
the third-longest in the nation.
Nix, a transfer from
Auburn, completed 13 of 18
passes for 222 yards and ran
for 35 yards on nine carries.
Terrance Ferguson caught both
of Nix’s touchdown passes
and finished with 24 yards
receiving.
“I felt like I didn’t do
anything different, just went
out there and played the game,
let it come to me,” Nix said.
“At the end of the day I’m a
point guard, with some great
positions around me, great
skill players. So my job is kind
of easy: Knowing what to do
with the ball, knowing who
to give the ball to, and then
letting those guys do their
thing.”
Jaren Hall threw for 305
yards and two scores for BYU
(2-1), which was coming off a
big win at home over then-
No. 9 Baylor that moved the
Cougars up nine spots in the
AP Top 25. They struggled on
the ground against the Ducks,
mustering just 61 rushing
yards.
“We just didn’t play
as good as we should have
starting off. Had a good first
play, had some momentum,
just didn’t finish the drive, and
just kind of let things get out
of hand offensively the next
couple of drives,” Hall said.
The Ducks (2-1)
rebounded from a season-
opening loss to Georgia with
a 70-14 win at home over
Eastern Washington last
weekend.
Nix ran two yards for a
touchdown to give the Ducks
an early lead. Camden Lewis
added a 28-yard field goal to
give Oregon a 10-0 lead after
the opening quarter.
Isaac Rex hauled down
a pass from quarterback
Jaren Hall for a 28-yard BYU
touchdown early in the second.
Oregon answered on the next
drive when Nix found Troy
Franklin with a 50-yard pass to
get close, then ran on another
2-yard keeper to make it 17-7.
Nix fired a 15-yard TD
pass to Ferguson in the end
zone to give Oregon a 24-7
lead heading into halftime. Nix
added a 6-yard keeper early
in the second half and found
Ferguson for a 9-yard scoring
pass to make it 38-7.
Ty Thompson replaced
Nix late in the third quarter.
BYU closed to within 38-
14 on Hall’s 18-yard scoring
pass to Kody Epps — Epps’
first touchdown as a Cougar.
BYU intercepted
Thompson on the Oregon 30
and were helped by a pass
interference call, leading to
Hall’s 2-yard scoring pass
to Chris Brooks. A 2-point
conversion attempt failed.
Nix returned on Oregon’s
next series and the drive was
capped by Lewis’ 25-yard field
goal to cap scoring.

“One of my past coaches
told me that pressure is a
privilege, and so I’ve really
taken that to heart, and there’s
nothing more true in my
opinion,” Nix said. “When you
have a lot of pressure it means
that people believe in you,
people believe you can do it,
or you wouldn’t have pressure
at all.”
THE TAKEAWAY
BYU: The Cougars were
shorthanded because of key
injuries. Starting receivers
Puka Nacua and Gunner
Romney remained out. Nacua
was a game-time decision
because of a sore right ankle.
The Cougars were also without
starting defensive linemen
Tyler Batty and Earl Tuioti-
Mariner. ... Jake Oldroyd
missed a 38-yard field goal
in the opening half, his third
straight miss. ... BYU was 5-0
against the Pac-12 last season.
Oregon: BYU honored
Oregon tight end Spencer
Webb, who died in an
offseason accident, by running
out of the tunnel with an
Oregon flag with Webb’s No.
18.... Oregon now leads the
series with BYU 4-3. The
previous meeting between the
two was in 2006 at the Las
Vegas Bowl, a 38-8 victory for
the Cougars.
Oregon: The Ducks
visit Washington State next
Saturday.
