Soccer season to kick off
soon with registration BBQ
The fall soccer season is fast
approaching and so is the time
to register.
Those interested in partici-
pating can register online at
www.siuslawsoccer.com, or
come play and eat hot dogs at
the registration barbecue set
for Tuesday, Aug. 22, begin-

The first four seasons
became redundant.
The Reedsport coach used
the same formations and plays
game after game. He lined up
in a full house backfield with
two tight ends and played
smash-mouth football.
His teams were bigger and
stronger than most Far West
teams. My reports became
“SOS,” i.e., “Same Old Stuff.”
But in the 1981 season, that
all changed.
I scouted Reedsport six
games and over 400 offensive
plays. I reported to Lutero
over 17 formations used. I also
noted they ran only one play

who shut down the Braves to
win the Far West League.
The game was a pivotal
moment in the season. The
momentum of the win carried
into the state play-offs and the
eventual state championship.
Scouting may not always
guarantee a victory, but it does
give your team a better chance
at making it happen.

izers of the tournament, the
event brings the top junior
golfers from throughout the
region to compete, with the
top 2 finishers in each junior

qualification.
The tournament also draws
college scouts to look for
prospective recruits, including
the University of Oregon’s
Casey Martin, who was
observing early in the week.
“It’s a unique tournament in
that it brings so many junior
golfers from the region as
opposed to just the state,” said
Crouthamel.
To Reed, it presents an
opportunity to put Florence on
the golfing map by bringing
new talent and their families to
Florence.
“It brought more than 100
golfers and their families to
town, which means more hotel
room bookings, tables at
restaurants — a nice shot in
the arm to our local economy,”
said Reed.
Oregon
Parks
and
Recreation
Department
(OPRD) is prohibiting all
campfires and open flames in
Oregon State Parks and other
properties owned and managed
by the department.
The restrictiom began
Wednesday, Aug. 16, and will
continue until further notice.
These restrictions extend to
all Oregon beaches.
Charcoal briquettes, tiki-
style torches and candles are
also prohibited until further
Broncos
from 1B
There were five generations
of the SUV produced until
1996 and Ford has now
announced the return of the
Bronco to showrooms in 2020.
The NBR is a showcase for
the original design and, accord-
ing to most of the attendees at
this week’s gathering, the best
of the Broncos. Dummer has
been a fan for many years and
is attending the NBR, along
with friends and his son,
Matthew.
The younger Dummer got
his Bronco when he was 15 and
worked on it for years, cus-
tomizing the vehicle to fit his
driving style and requirements.
Matthew shares his father’s
enthusiasm for the old-school
nature of the earlier era
Broncos and looks forward to
the chance to spend some time
with his father.
“I’ve been riding off-road
since I was in the womb. My
mom was pregnant with me
and she went riding with my
dad, before I was even born,
and this is something we can
do together — it’s kind’a like
our thing, ” Matthew said.
The NBR gathering has
become a much larger event

notice. Only fuel sources that
can be turned off instantly,
such as propane stoves, will be
allowed.
Some parks will also allow
propane fire pits; campers are
advised to check directly with
the park.
“Most state parks are already
under a fire restriction due to
hot, dry conditions,” said MG
Devereux, OPRD Deputy
Director. “We are expanding
these restrictions to prevent
any unintentional fires in state
parks that would add an unnec-
essary burden to firefighting
efforts.
“We understand this is an
inconvenience for campers,
especially those who might not
see an immediate local need for
fire restrictions. We appreciate
the public’s patience and
understanding,”
Devereux
added.
Fireworks are also prohibit-
ed year-round in Oregon state
parks and on beaches.
The ban will remain in effect
at least through the Aug. 21
total solar eclipse and will be
reevaluated based on fire sta-
tus, weather and guidance from
state and local fire officials.
Visitors planning a trip
should check with park staff for
the most current information.

“Last year we brought

“This tournament is the
most prestigious event hosted
by Sandpines in the history of
golf in Florence,” said Rick
Reed, general manager of
Sandpines. “It’s part of our
goal of bringing more high-
profile tournaments to our
course.”
The tournament teed off
Monday with two days of
stroke play, followed by three
days of match play that culmi-
nated in the crowning of indi-
vidual champions on Friday
(after press deadlines.)
A total of nine rounds were
played in five days, including
two rounds for each golfer on
Friday.
And each day the pins were
changed on every hole for
added difficulty.
“It definitely makes it more
of a challenge for golfers that
way,” said course manager Eli
McGallian, who added that the
rough wasn’t mowed during
the tournament to add yet
another level of difficulty.
According
to
Scotty
Crouthamel, senior Director of
ning at 5:30 p.m. at Miller
Park.
That is the time to register
in person.
