Kids golf tournament will raise funds for the local Boys & Girls Club and its more than 500 young members. I t’s been happening for 21 years: Well over 130 people showing up, golf clubs at the ready, to tee off in support of Florence’s Boys & Girls Club. The annual Fore! Kids Golf Classic is one of the program’s biggest fundraising events of the year, with proceeds helping fund summer pro- grams such as Brain Gain, as well as field trips, athletics and youth development such as SMART Girls, Passport To Manhood, Money Matters and others for youth grades K-12. During the school year, funding goes to support after-school and educational programs that teach life skills to local youth. Come Saturday, June 2, golf clubs will be at the ready once again. One of the highlights of the event is the annual helicopter golf ball drop, a fundraiser in which individual golf balls — each numbered — are dropped from a helicopter onto the green. The grand prize for the ball that lands either in the cup or closest to it is $1,500, sponsored by The H Group wealth management company.

Sports Physical Day will be held from 8 a.m. to noon at Siuslaw Middle School, 2525 Oak St., in Florence. PHMG will contribute medical sup- plies and the time and expertise of five providers and several medical assis- tants for the event. Sports physicals are required in order for youths, grades 6 through 12, to participate in extracurricular sports. The exams are critical for safe sports participation. They can help screen athletes for potential illness or condi- tions that may limit or restrict their ability to participate in a school sport, and help ensure that students are physically capable of meeting the demands and don’t have conditions that may be aggravated by intense exercise. The Sports Physical Day exam includes height, weight, blood pres- sure and pulse check, as well as an eye chart exam and examination by a pro- vider. Also included is a questionnaire that asks about medical history. If a provider encounters a medical issue, the information is documented and parents and/or guardians are notified so they can follow up with the stu- dent’s primary care provider. Sports physical forms are available at local schools or online (www.osaa. org/docs/forms/Physical Examination See PHYSICAL 4B If you’re headed outside for the upcoming holiday weekend, don’t forget to pack the fishing tackle. Wherever you plan to play this weekend — from the beach to the desert — there will be some great fishing nearby. Here are a few suggestions for the weekend: • Consider a charter ocean salmon or halibut trip. • Hit the evening low tide for some surfperch fishing. • Cast for spring Chinook on the Deschutes and Hood Rivers. • Troll for kokanee in Odell Lake and Wickiup Reservoir. • Catch the big one (trout that is) is Paulina, Big Lava or Hosmer lakes. • Fish any of the dozens of Willamette Valley lakes and ponds being stocked this week with rainbow trout. • Camp and fish at Applegate Reservoir, Howard Prairie Reservoir and Willow Lake, all of which will be stocked this week. • Set the kids up with a worm and bobber, and take them bluegill fishing at Eel Lake, Johnsons Mill Pond or Powers Pond. • Catch the salmonflies and golden stone hatch on the Klamath River from the JC Boyle Dam to the California border. • Visit Willow Creek Reservoir, McKay Reservoir, Cold Springs Reservoir and the Columbia River for some premiere warmwater fish- ing, including crappie, bass, walley, perch and brown bullhead. Salmon May/June means spring Chinook in rivers and basins from Tillamook south to the Siletz.
