OSAA addresses year-round sports
Courtesy of the Oregonian
The Oregon School Activities Association moved one step
closer Monday to restricting high school coaches from coaching
their athletes for pay in the off-season.
In offering the proposal, the board is addressing concerns of
coaches, educators and some parents across Oregon who worry
that high school athletes feel pressured to play in their coaches'
out-of-season programs to earn a spot on the high school team.
The OSAA executive board wants to prohibit coaches from
receiving money for coaching their players in club sports
programs during the school year. Although board members
disagreed over the merits of the proposal, they agreed that a
change was necessary.
"What we do may not be the best thing, but I think it's a
step," said Earl J. Fisher, board member and principal at
Clatskanie High School.
The decision to adopt the rule now goes to the OSAA's 30
member delegate assembly, which meets April 11.
Like other board members, Michael Hood, principal of
Creswell High School, said he supported sending the issue to the
delegate assembly for discussion.
"(That) the athlete really doesn't have a choice is accurate,"
Hood said. "It needs to be dealt with. I'm not sure this proposal
gets at that."
Under the proposed rule change, the OSAA would apply
unspecified sanctions on schools that fail to ensure that coaches
don't work with school athletes for pay during the off-season.
The wording of an earlier proposal would have barred
coaches from all off-season coaching of players on their school
teams. But the board decided to allow for volunteer coaching in
the off-season, said Wes Ediger, OSAA executive director.
That was in part to meet the objections of smaller, rural
schools, where qualified coaches might be scarce.
But the proposed rule still upset some.
"I was disappointed," said Hud Edwards, a non-voting
member of the board who represents the state's athletic
directors.
Edwards, athletic director at La Grande High School, said
schools in large parts of rural Oregon don't have the same
problems as bigger, urban schools, where more kids compete for
roster spots.
In smaller communities, he said, there might be only one
qualified person who can coach both high school and club
teams. "Everything is so much more low-key," Edwards said.
Opposition came from urban areas as well.
Rep. Lynn Snodgrass, R-Damascus, said the board's
proposals, if adopted, would limit parents' freedom to choose
their children's coaches, She said it also would limit public
employees' ability to earn money during their free time.
She said school districts already have the power to deal with
coaches who cross ethical lines or have financial conflicts of
interest.
But James D. Carlile, superintendent of the Gresham-Barlow
School District, which adopted a similar coaching policy this
summer, told the board that having the same person coaching
both a school and club team can essentially eliminate an
athlete's choice of whether to participate.

Athletes, build self respect
I have heard this story that goes
on about no self confidence among
a lot of athletes who compete in
sports today. A Psychiatrist once
said he has helped many people
with the use of four words. Most
athletes feel down and look to the
past, this is where their problems
linger on and on. Here are two of
those four words, "If only." This is
where many people fall into a rut,
and just flow along with the current.
If only I had practiced my free shots,
if only I had trained more, If only I
had listened to the coach more.
They find themselves entangled
in this web of emotional stress. This
Psychiatrist said, the solution to the
problem is very simple. Disregard
those two words, "If Only," and
substitute them with the words,
"Next Time." Next time I'm going
to practice my free shooting, next
time I'm going to prepare myself
physically, next time I'm going to
pay more attention to the Coach.
By doing this you will forget the
past and all the problems that linger
in you mind that creates all your
problems. From here do the things
of the present and the future and the
outlook on life will be more pleas
ant and rewarding. By doing things
this way you will build your confi
dence and self respect.

Livestock lost to traffic on Hwy. 26
In response to the story on
livestock in the last issue of Spilyay
Tymoo we have received a concern
about the livestock in the Sidwalter
area. The problem at Sidwalter is
that the gates are not being closed by
homeowners coming or going from
their homes.
Fences are put up there so that
livestock will not go out onto
Highway 26 and possibly get hit by
traffic. Sidwalter is considered open
range and it is the homeowner's
responsibility to shut their gates so
that livestock cannot get out.
The cattle owners suffer from the
loss of livestock being hit by traffic
on Highway 26. They can chase their
livestock back inside the fence when
they know they are out, but they
don't always know when their
livestock is out.
While there are no laws or
ordinances that can keep the gates
closed, cattle are being lost on the
highway every year. Homeowners
are given a recommendation to keep
their gates closed so that cattle cannot
get out, but not everyone closes their
gates. It is also recommended that
they put a fence around their property
to keep livestock from damaging
personal property. Cattle guards and
"ride along fences" are suggestions
to homeowners that do not want to be
responsible of shutting gates.
