But they won't just be play- ing golf; they will be raising funds to support families and youth right here in Florence. Rotary Club of Florence assists in supporting many community programs, includ- ing Habitat for Humanity, The Boys and Girls Club and by donating backpacks for stu- dents going back to school. Along with the many Florence community projects, this year’s annual golf spectac- ular will raise funds for Rotary International’s “End Polio Now Campaign.” Golfers in the tournament will be part of the effort to eradicate Polio from the planet — and there’s still time to par- ticipate in that effort, as well as the fun, but spots are going fast. In addition to raising funds for good causes, “Cool at the Coast” has gained a reputation for a great day of golf, cool prizes, good food and always spectacular weather. Sponsors this year include: Host Sponsors Three Rivers Casino and the Ocean Dunes Golf Links; Hole-in-One Sponsor All State Agency Owner Bob Garcia; Platinum sponsors Oregon Pacific Bank, Coldwell Banker, PeaceHealth, Holmes-Linton Dental, SHS H ALL - OF -F AMERS TO BE INDUCTED NEXT WEEK In a little over a week, Siuslaw High School will cel- ebrate the induction of a new group of athletes to the school’s hallowed Hall of Fame during a special ban- quest and ceremony on Friday, Aug. 9, at the Florence Events Center.

In an effort to protect Forest resources and visitor health and safety, the Umpqua Na- tional Forest has implement- ed and is enforcing a stay limit of 14 days in several areas that have previously been used for more long-term camping ar- eas located within the Tiller Ranger District. These areas are not main- tained to provide long-term use by forest visitors. Long-term camping at lo- cations that are popular and easily accessible has increased significantly in recent years, limiting the opportunities for other campers and Forest us- ers. Monitoring has shown that long-term and unman- aged camping often leads to resource impacts, including removal of vegetation from areas, user-created trails, im- proper disposal of human waste and other refuse, and damage to soils. “As a result, visitors and Forest staff are experienc- ing an increase in health and safety risks, as well as the po- tential for unsafe water qual- ity,” said Kathy Minor, Tiller District Ranger. “By limiting camping to 14 days, all Forest visitors will also have a fair and equitable opportunity to visit and enjoy the Umpqua National Forest.” For more information, call the Tiller Ranger District with site-specific questions at 541- 825-3100.
