Golfers leave after a shotgun start during the annual Rotary ‘Cool at the Coast’ golf tournament and fundraiser.
10 TH ANNUAL ‘C OOL AT THE C OAST ’ TO TEE OFF A UG . 3
O
n Saturday, Aug. 3,
players will tee off at
Ocean Dunes Golf
Links for the Rotary Club of
Florence’s 10th annual “Cool
at the Coast” golf tournament.
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

holds the school record in the
shot put (52-1) set in 1972,
and once held the school’s
discus record (154-6), which
is still Siuslaw’s fourth-lon-
gest throw in school history.
He was a three-sport athlete
who also competed in foot-
ball and basketball.
• Raelyn Robinson (2011)
won state titles in Cross

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.
