Winter sports openers: Nov. 30 • SHS GIRLS BB HOSTS Booster Club offering scholarships for sports fees The Siuslaw Athletic Booster Club wants to make Siuslaw middle and high school students and their families aware that the Ian Foster Scholarship is available to students in need of assis- tance to pay for sports participation fees. Last school year, 84 Ian Foster Scholarships were provided. Winter sports registration is now open. Participation fees for high school sports are $100 and the Ian Foster Scholarship pays for $75 of that fee. Participation fees for middle school sports are $75 and the Ian Foster Scholarship pays for $40 of that fee. School offices and coaches have these forms available, or download one online at www. siuslawathletic boost- erclub.com. “There is nothing we do as a Booster Club that is more important than fund- ing and providing the Ian Foster Scholarship,” said Gina Castro-Brandt, SABC president. “We want every Siuslaw student at the middle and high school to participate in sports if they want to. “The participation fee should not prevent students from being part of Siuslaw athletics. Everyone has diffi- cult seasons in life and being part of a team can be such a positive, especially during difficult times. “We want to help make it happen.” The Ian Foster Fund was established shortly after the death of Ian Foster in the summer of 2005. With the help and support of the Foster family, a plan was developed by the athletic department to set aside donated monies to be used for students who might have difficulty paying the total cost of athletic partici- pation fees. An application process was devel- oped requiring students to indicate their financial need. If a student is able to demonstrate significant financial need, they receive the scholarship. The athletic director is responsible for reviewing the applications and dis- pensing the money to students who meet the funding requirements. If you would like to contribute to the Ian Foster Fund, donations are always welcome. Send contributions with “Ian Foster” in the memo area to: SABC, PO Box 1972, Florence, OR 97439 or donate online at www.siuslawathletic boosterclub.com.

Facing off at home on Glenn Butler Court, the Vikings lost in three sets, C HEESEMAKERS each of which could’ve gone to either team during the match. “We went down fighting,” said first- year coach Jon Hornung, whose team claimed a share of the Far West League title and earned the leagues No. 1 seed into the state playoffs against Douglas. “We fought hard all season and exceeded a lot of expectations.” Against Tillamook, Siuslaw had a difficult time against a team with mul- tiple sources of offense in its arsenal, and the ability to hit Siuslaw’s gaps and between its blocking — something no team has done effectively against the Viks this season. “We haven’t come up against a team with this many weapons and speed.” See VIKS 2B PTA Color-a-Thon 5K, Fitness Fair set for Nov. 5 148 Maple St. Florence, OR 97439 541-997-3441 www.thesiuslawnews.com The Color-a-Thon 5k walk/run and Fall Fitness Fair are just around the corner on Saturday, Nov. 5.
