Florence residents Caleb Hennessee and Jared Northrop are local Babe Ruth baseball players on the South Coast All-Stars team. After winning the state championship two weeks ago, the team advanced to the Babe Ruth Regional Championship in Kelso, Wash., last weekend for a chance to reach the Babe Ruth World Series in Tennessee later this month. The regionals included teams from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and Canada. The team lost 2-0 in the semi-finals. Run from 1B for kids — hands-on experi- ences that introduces them to the area’s ecosystem, wildlife and the importance of conser- vation. The run lasted three years before trickling off after Sundstrom went to college. A little over a year ago, while accepting the “Spirit” award on behalf of his son, Johnny Sundstrom challenged the board to start the run again. “The board thought it was a great idea to get that tradition going again,” said Tom Burke of the SWC. Before long, Burke and a handful of volunteers began Cool from 1B at Pumpkin Ridge. The resort at San Diego Country Estates is nestled peacefully in the foothills near Ramona, Calif. Golfers will enjoy the chance to play whenever they choose, and there is also tennis, horse- back riding and the nearby wild animal park, where visi- tors can get up close and per- sonal with giraffes and ele- phants. And of course the Southern California wine country is just adjacent. Pumpkin Ridge features two championship golf courses situated on pristine farmland only 20 miles west of Portland. Lush stands of towering trees frame undulat- ing fairways and manicured greens, creating a stunning tapestry for respite, relax- ation and adventure. This year’s Cool at the Coast is nearly sold out. According to co-chairs Craig Sanders and Deb Lamb, only one team space remains. “We’ve developed a repu- tation for good golf and great fun,” Lamb said. “That’s why people are signing up earlier than ever this year.” Golfers who have not yet registered should call 541- 997-3232, or visit www.cool atthe coast.com to download the registration form. Fishing from 1B the Wilson River and is fair. There are fish throughout the system, and fresh fish are still coming in. Target riffles and the top of pools during first and last light, and con- centrate on deeper pools once the sun is on the water. digging into old permits issued a decade earlier in an effort to retrace the route Sundstrom established and keep it as close to the original as they could. Unfortunately, they discov- ered that road closures and restrictions wouldn’t allow for the same route, but the council kept it as close as possible. Though there have been some changes to the original route, it starts in the same place as it did — at the Mapleton High School track, where Shiloh spent a lot of time as both a high school athlete for the Sailors as well as an assis- tant track coach for his father, Johnny.

In addition to the 5K run, there is also a 3K fun run/walk. Last year’s revival of the race drew 74 participants, with those finishing in first place in each division receiving a handmade commemorative wooden medal. This year, organizers of the Salmon Run hope to increase that number to 100 or more. Cost is $20 for the 3K or $25 for the 5K event for those who preregister anytime before tomorrow, Aug. 3.
