NIGHT OF
EXCELLENCE
There used to be a base-
ball player and manager
named Leo Durocher. He
was a tough guy — small in
size, but large and skilled in
matters involving the fist —
and he had the mouth to
match.
They called him “The
Lip,” because that’s what he
was always giving people
he interacted with.
He was a member of the
Yankees’ World Series-win-
ning “Murderers’ Row” and
T
he Siuslaw High School mall area was
transformed into a sports-themed din-
ing area on Friday, May 29, as athletes
and their families gathered for a Night of
Athletic Excellence, sponsored by KCST
Radio and the Siuslaw Athletic Booster Club.
Dinner was prepared by SHS culinary arts
students under the direction of chef Kyle
Lewis, and served by members of the SHS
Leadership Club.
Siuslaw’s fall 2015 cheerleading squad
made its debut, introducing the newest mem-
bers and demonstrating a few routines to get
the audience warmed up.
KCST news director Bob Sneddon emceed
the evening, naming all 41 Mapleton and
Siuslaw athletes who had been recognized
over the course of the 2014-15 season.
Siuslaw News sports editor Ned Hickson fol-
lowed with the announcement of Athletes of
the Year Mikaela Siegel and Joseph Dotson.

Beachgoers: Keep away from seals, sea lions
ROSEBURG – Pacific
harbor seal pupping season
is in full swing on the
Oregon coast. The Oregon
Department of Fish and
Wildlife advises beach goers
to stay away from seals and
sea lions resting on rocks or
beaches.
A harbor seal mother
often leaves her pup on
shoreline rocks or the beach
while she feeds in the sea.
“The pup isn’t stranded,
and human activity around it
can discourage the female
from returning to feed and
care for her pup,” said Susan
Riemer, marine biologist.
At this time of year,
California sea lions are
migrating south to breed for
the summer, stopping to rest
on
Oregon
beaches.
Elephant seals are in the
molting stage right now and
may look sick, but molting
is a natural process.
Seals and sea lions use
beaches as a resting spot
when feeling tired or ill and
should be left alone. People
should not approach them,
or try to feed or help them.
It’s important to keep dogs
away as well.
If a marine animal is obvi-
ously sick or injured, people
can call the OSU Marine
Mammal Stranding Hotline
at 541-270-6830.
