The Word is the Word in Coos Bay Goal Setting Session

In two words much of what the Coos Bay City Council wants is "bettercommunications."

At their annual Goal Setting meeting on Saturday, the 21, the theme was present throughout the meeting. The first discussion centered around better communication with the Port of Coos Bay when Mayor Joe Benetti stated he’d like to see “communication and transparency” with the port. At the end of

the four hour meeting council suggested ways for the public to interact more seamlessly and with improved communication and access.

Much of the dialogue also spoke to improved partnerships with the school district, tribes and the county and again improving communications. Although the mayor was credited with doing a good job of reaching out.

City Manager Roger Craddock informed council of a new contracted communications professional to assist in answering the public’s concerns and speaking for the city. Councilor Lucinda

DiNovo made the case for an additional expense of consulting a Public Relations firm to assist as well.

Mayor Benetti said “The way the community gets its news is different now,” in continuing to request easier ways for the public to communicate with the city.

The goals included increasing the city’s mailing list by two thirds, having a drop down menu on the city’s website for easier resident communications by department, live streaming and testimony for council meetings, improved cameras so that speakers could be seen and identified more

easily.

In addition they discussed an aggressive succession plan with staff so that council and the city itself isn’t caught off guard by staff shortages or changes. To that point, City Manager Roger Craddock told the council his contract expires in 2024 but he plans to step down early in order to give the current sitting council an opportunity to hire his replacement. But he also said he’ll be happy to stick around and consult the city as needed.

Other goals included additional focus on tourism and a relationship with the Visitors and Convention Bureau as well as beautification for

parks in tandem with partners and emergency preparedness.

None of the city council’s goals were codified into ordinances or resolutions but were instead a discussion of the issues the council intends to tackle going into the year. Cities frequently create goal setting between council and staff to set the tone and give the city manager a heads up on what they’d like to get accomplished.

The mayor and council were very clear they’d like more of an opportunity to interact and be responsive to the residents in the community through enhanced technology and communications.

North Bend pool expected to open by May 1

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS

It’s beginning to look like the North Bend Municipal Pool will be fully up and running just in time for summer.

North Bend City Administrator David Milliron said the city is finally making progress on receiving equipment needed to upgrade the pool, and he expects the pull to open around May 1.

The pool has had an up-and-down history over the last few years as the COVID pandemic forced North Bend to close the pool in 2020. After COVID restrictions were eased in 2021, the city re-opened the pool briefly in 2021, using a state grant to offer free swimming for several months.

But at the end of 2021, the city closed the pool with the plan of replacing the aging pumps and filtration system, some that dated to the opening of the pool in the 1950s.

At the time, the city expected all the equipment to be replaced by the summer of 2022, but a slowdown of the economy and difficulties in finding equipment for the older system stopped much of the progress.

Using a grant from the Judith Ann Mogan Foundation along with city funds, progress has been ongoing, but without the filtration system the pool cannot open.

Milliron said the filtration system should ship this week, and the variable frequency drive to operate the pumps shipped last week. Once all the parts have arrived, the contractor will finish installation and will begin to train city staff on how to operate the new equipment.

Milliron said he hopes that will begin in March. At that point, the city will begin hiring and training lifeguards with a goal of opening the pool fully by May 1.

Tax money raised through a property tax levy to support pool operations for five years was not used to replace the infrastructure. Instead, it has been saved and will be used for five years after the pool is opening. Remaining funds for a state grant have been targeted for opening the pool for free until the funding runs out.

Those interested in working at the pool, can keep an eye on www northbendoregon.us/jobs where all jobs are posted.

Message in a bottle

Bandon beaches adorned with hidden treasures

BREEANA LAUGHLIN

Bandon beaches are calling, and some lucky beachgoers who hear the call will receive a message – a message in a bottle.

The Bandon Chamber of Commerce teamed up with local artist Kim Bell to create a fun way for beachgoers to remember their experience. Through Spring break, the Bandon Bottle Faeries will be hiding bottles containing inspirational messages on Bandon’s public beaches from the South side of the jetty to Devil’s Kitchen. The bottles are adorned with sayings like, “I’m not average, I’m awesome,” or “Leave a little sparkle wherever you go.” They are artfully decorated with beachy items such as starfish, sunshine and seahorses and many have beach glass, sand and shells inside them.

The bottles come in various sizes and décor, but all are designed to make someone’s day.

“I hope it brings out-of-towners to Bandon and it gives them something special to remember their trip,” said Kim Ball, the artist who designs the bottles.

“We are hoping that it brightens their day when they look back on their time on the beach, because Bandon is my favorite place,” she said. These bottles are the finders to keep and can be brought into participating local businesses to claim a set of mini-lights. The mini lights can be inserted into the bottle to create an even more beautiful memory, said Bandon Chamber of Commerce sponsors.

“We had been talking about doing something similar to the floats that are found up and down the coast,” said Bandon Chamber Director Margaret Pounder. But chamber members wanted to do something with a unique spin, she said. When artist Ball and her friend came up with the message in a bottle concept, Pounder said; “This is a brilliant idea.”

“It’s something totally different and it’s interactive because we are getting the visitors to come into the stores and interact with some businesses and perhaps spend some

While progress has been slow, there has been steady work ongoing inside the North Bend Municipal Pool. As new equipment has arrived, it has been installed, including new pumps. The final pieces of equipment are expected to arrive soon, with the pool scheduled to be filled in early March.

District opening new junior high to the community

A year and a half ago, Coos Bay School District opened the doors of its newest campus with Marshfield Junior High accepting seventh and eighth graders for the first time.

Now, the district is opening the campus to the entire community for the first time.

Marshfield Junior High, one of two schools built thanks to the voters’ approval of Measure 6-166 in 2017, cost $28.5 million to

build and gave Coos Bay schools a standalone junior high that alleviated crowding at Millicoma, Sunset and Marshfield High School.

The $59.9 million bond has been used to build Eastside School and Marshfield Junior High. The district has also been able to rebuild Madison Elementary and make improvements to Sunset School and Marshfield High

School. Next school year, the final remaining bond funds will be used to replace the roof and ventilation systems at Millicoma School.

Built next door to Marshfield High School, the school is also unique in its structure. While most of the schools in the district are single-story, limited land next to the high school forced the district to think out of the box.

The result was a three-story

building that has state-of-the-art technology and safety measures perfect for educating seventh and eight graders for decades to come.

Principal Floyd Montiel and Superintendent Charis McGaughy are excited to open the school to the community, giving parents and others a look inside the newest facility in the district.

McGaughy said she hopes the community will come out and get

money while they are here,” she said. Anyone who finds a bottle can register it at the registration page on the Bandon Visitors website. They will entered for a chance at a random prize. Beachgoers can also call to register it at 541-347-9616, or in person at the Bandon Chamber Visitors Center, 300 Second Street SE, Old Town Bandon. They are open 7 days a week, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

a look at how their tax funds are being spent to improve student outcomes.

The open house is scheduled at 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, February 1. After a brief introduction by the superintendent and principal, guests will be welcome to tour the school on their own. School administrators will be present to answer questions. Cookies and drinks will also be provided.

letters to the editor

Anti-woke

Republican Governor of Florida, Ron de Santis, has an anti-WOKE campaign going against education in general. Unfortunately his acronym is better unraveled as “White Only Knowledge Education.”

De Santis is against any effort by Florida teachers to show, explain and explore facets of racism, including slavery in the nation’s history. He has even said that the words, slavery and black, should not be used in Florida’s schools.

Another explanation of WOKE for de Santis is “Watch Out, Knowledge Educates.” He’s afraid of Florida kids learning about this nation’s heritage of slavery and discrimination. He is also against College Board’s new course, AP African American Studies.

I would have loved to teach this course at Marshfield High School. In AP English Literature

I did use Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” and Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye” in class, but they are only two diamonds in the field of African American Studies.

It is hopeful that some courageous teacher in Coos County would take on teaching AP African American Studies when it is finally approved by College Board, most likely in 2024. We sorely need factual exploration of our nation’s history and literature different from what Republican Governor de Santis proposes.

Ralph Mohr Coos Bay

You got it wrong

I read then reread the statements made in his Jan. 14 editorial by David Rupkalvis, and my eyes did not deceive me. Mr. Rupkalvis was congratulating Mr. Taylor on a job "well done" because he stuck to his campaign promises.

Okay Mr. Rupkalvis, here's my question to you - Would you have said "well done" to Hitler because he also made promises to his constituency, the main one was to rid Germany of the Jews and return it to an Aryan nation? He eradicated 6 million Jews along with countless others. To quote you, he "did exactly what he said he would when he was campaigning." So would you also tell him "well done" ?

Also please understand that the voters did NOT decide Taylor's vision is right for them, as there was a 125 vote difference between the candidates. Half decided his vision was WRONG for Coos County. In fact, Melissa Cribbins won in 16 of the 18 precincts, losing only in precinct 2 and precinct 8. Mr. Rupkalvis, accuracy is imperative, especially in attempting to report the news. My hope is that The World newspaper will eventually become the local unbiased and accurate news outlet for our community that it once was.

People’s cultural worldviews play a part in how they respond to wildfire risk, and should be taken into account in efforts to get homeowners to engage in pre-fire mitigation efforts such as adjusting landscaping and preparing an evacuation plan, an Oregon State University study found.

The study tapped into participants’ cultural worldviews and perception of risk to help predict which communication strategies work best to convince different types of people.

“There’s going to have to be multiple different avenues to reach people to get them to engage in prefire mitigation,” said study author Erika Allen Wolters, an assistant professor of political science in OSU’s College of Liberal Arts.

Opinion: Going Green Is a Palpable Need but a Tough Transition

By LLEWELLYN KING InsideSources.com

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — I first heard about global warming being attributable to human activity about 50 years ago. Back then, it was just a curiosity, a matter of academic discussion. It didn’t engage the environmental movement, which marshaled opposition to nuclear and firmly advocated coal as an alternative.

Twenty years on, there was concern about global warming. I heard competing arguments about the threat at many locations, from Columbia University to the Aspen Institute. There was conflicting data from NASA and other federal entities. No action was proposed.

The issue might have crystallized earlier if it hadn’t been that between 1973 and 1989, the great concern was energy supply. The threat to humanity wasn’t the abundance of fossil fuels. It was the fear that there weren’t enough of them.

The solar and wind industries grew not as an alternative but rather as a substitution. Today, they are the alternative.

Now, the world faces a more fearsome future: global warming and all of its consequences. These are on view: sea-level rise, droughts, floods, extreme cold, excessive heat, severe out-of-season storms, fires, water shortages, and crop failures.

Sea-level rise affects the very existence of many small island nations, as the prime minister of Tonga, Siaosi Slavonia, made clear here at the annual assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), an intergovernmental group with 167 member nations.

dential envoy for climate. Kerry’s points:

—Global warming is real, and the evidence is everywhere.

—The world can’t reach its Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030 or the ultimate one of net-zero carbon by 2050 unless drastic action is taken.

—Warming won’t be reversed by economically weak countries but rather by rich ones, which are most responsible for it. Kerry said 120 less-developed countries produce only 1 percent of the greenhouse gases while the 20 richest produce 80 percent.

—Kerry, notably, declared that the technologies for climate remediation must come from the private sector. He wants business and private investment mobilized.

The emphasis at this assembly has been on wind, solar and green hydrogen. Wave power and geothermal have been mentioned mostly in passing. Nuclear got no hearing. This may be because it isn’t renewable technically. But it does offer the possibility for vast amounts of carbon-free electricity. It is classed as a “green” source by many government institutions and is now embraced by many environmentalists.

The fact that this conference has been held here is of more than passing interest. Prima facie, Abu Dhabi is striving to go green. It has made a huge solar commitment to the Al Dhafra project. When finished, it will be the world’s largest single solar facility. Abu Dhabi is also installing a few wind turbines.

the candidate must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of Oregon, and a member of the Oregon State Bar. SB 977, recently passed by the Legislature, creates a new requirement. It amends ORS 3.041 and requires that these vacancies must be filled by persons who are residents of or have principal offices in the judicial districts to which they are appointed or adjacent judicial districts.

our understanding of risk and our willingness to engage in risk mitigation.”

For the study, OSU’s Oregon Policy Analysis Laboratory conducted a survey in Deschutes County, Oregon, in spring and summer of 2021. It was completed by 458 households located in the wildland-urban interface, the transition zone between wilderness and developed land.

About one-third of housing in the lower 48 states of the U.S. now lies in the wildland-urban interface, where they are more susceptible to wildfires, prior research has found.

The OSU survey asked participants about their experience with wildfire near their homes; the probability of a fire occurring near their home in the near future and their level of concern about it; and whether their home was under any neighborhood or zoning rules regarding fire-safe landscaping or building materials.

It also affects densely populated countries like Bangladesh, where large, low-lying areas may be flooded, driving off people and destroying agricultural land. Salt works on food, not on food crops.

Sea-level rise threatens the U.S. coasts — the problem is most acute for cities such as Boston, New York, Miami, Charleston, Galveston and San Mateo. Flooding first, then submergence.

How does human catastrophe begin?

Sometimes it is sudden and explosive, like an earthquake. Sometimes it advertises its arrival ahead of time. So it is with the Earth’s warming.

Delegates at the IRENA assembly felt that the bell of climate catastrophe tolls for their countries and their families. There was none of the disputations that normally attend climate discussions. Unity was a feature of this one.

The challenge was framed articulately and succinctly by John Kerry, U.S. special presi-

It also asked participants if they engaged in pre-fire mitigation activities, such as planting fire-resistant plants, cleaning gutters to limit wildfire fuel, preparing a home evacuation plan or seeking out information from local organizations on how best to prepare for wildfire. The survey included questions meant to determine participants’ dominant cultural traits, dividing them into four groups: egalitarian, fatalist, hierarchical or individualist. Cultural theory holds that hierarchical and egalitarian people are more likely to act collectively, while individualist and fatalist people are more likely to act independently.

For two of the cultural trait groups, participants’ traits were significantly related to their responses regarding wildfire risk and mitigation.

On each of the 11 pre-fire mitigation efforts listed in the survey, egalitarians were the most likely

Abu Dhabi has a four-unit nuclear power plant at Barakah, with two 1,400-megawatt units online, one in testing and one under construction. Yet, the emirate is a major oil producer and is planning to expand its production from more than 3 million barrels daily to 5 million barrels.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has made oil more valuable, and even states preparing for a day when oil demand will drop are responding. Abu Dhabi isn’t alone in this seeming contradiction between purpose and practice. Green-conscious Britain is opening a new coal mine.

The energy transition has its challenges — even in the face of commitment and palpable need. The delegates who attended this all-round excellent conference will find that when they get home.

In the United States, utilities are grappling with the challenge of not destabilizing the grid while pressing ahead with renewables. Lights on, carbon out, is tricky.

of the four groups to engage in the activity. Fatalists reported doing the least mitigation behaviors.

These results are not surprising in the context of cultural theory, Wolters said. Egalitarians are riskaverse and more likely to recognize how their efforts could benefit both self and community, and more likely to want to protect the environment. Conversely, fatalists view risk as unpredictable and outside their control, so they are less likely to engage in mitigation.

“The takeaway with the cultural theory is thinking about how we adopt policies that would reach out to those worldviews in different ways. For example, individualists would be more inclined to engage if there are market-based incentives for doing the work, and egalitarians and hierarchical people are more responsive to community messaging,” Wolters said. Across the board, official policies also made a significant differ-

ence in people’s level of engagement, she said. People were more likely to participate when building codes or neighborhood associations mandated certain wildfire mitigation activities.

Demographic factors were significantly predictive, as well: Women were more likely than men to engage in home planning and home protection activities, while younger adults were more likely to engage in home protection activities compared with older adults.

“There’s not going to be one right thing that’s going to work for everybody,” Wolters said. “We need a combination of appeals and ways we can incentivize people.”

She pointed to recent Oregon legislation aimed at improving the state’s wildfire preparedness, which includes efforts to build fire-adapted communities, as an avenue where policymakers might consider a variety of approaches to capture more people’s attention.

Homeowners’ cultural traits should be considered when promoting wildfire mitigation efforts, OSU study finds

Hopes and Dreams exhibit on display at Coos Bay Public Library

Over 60 artists of all ages and backgrounds painted their hopes and dreams for the future of Coos County at the Coos Bay Public Library at the close of 2022. Their work is currently on display in the Children and Family section of the library through February 18 as well as on the library’s Facebook and social media pages. Art included

pictures of people helping one another, a sky raining books, a bridge between people, and an expanded port for Coos Bay.

“I was really pleased with the thought people put into the project,” commented librarian Jennifer Knight. “I wasn’t sure what to expect and the creative energy participants demonstrated was

exciting. I loved talking with the artists about what they want for the future-many expressed a hope for kindness. It was inspiring to see so many different facets of the community come together.”

The library partnered with Pottery and Company on the program; Pottery and Company generously offered a discount for

tiles, paint kits, and firing. Tiles from the project will hopefully be used in an art installation in the library.

The project was made possible through grant funding from the Coos County Cultural Coalition. Each year, the Coalition awards grants to support arts funding throughout the county. Tile

painting was the final program of six programs offered throughout the year at the Coos Bay Public Library specifically geared towards community art. For more information about programs being offered at the Coos Bay Public Library visit the library’s website at https://www. coosbaylibrary.org/.

"Ezra's Law" bill back seeking tougher assault sentencing

BY GARY A. WARNER

CAPITAL BUREAU

OREGON

A crime bill named for a Madras boy severely beaten in 2017 by his mother's boyfriend is back before the Oregon Legislature.

Sen. Daniel Bonham, R-The Dalles, introduced Senate Bill 430 on Jan. 9. It's been assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee for consideration during the 2023

session.

The bill revives legislation Bonham has named "Ezra's Law" for Ezra Jerome Thomas, the Jefferson County boy left with permanent severe disabilities from the beating when he was 2.

Josue Jair Mendoza-Melo pleaded no contest to attempted murder and first-degree criminal mistreatment.

At the 2019 sentencing, the judge cited the assailant's limited criminal record and

ordered Mendoza-Melo to serve a 12-year sentence.

Bonham at the time was already working on legislation to allow for stiffer penalties when an assault victim suffers permanent severe disabilities.

Ezra requires round-theclock medical care and can do almost nothing on his own. He has tracheal and feeding tubes, and a programmable shunt to keep fluid from building up in his

brain. He’s legally blind and has between one to three seizures per hour.

John Swanson, Bonham's chief-of-staff, said Tuesday that SB 430 was "a new version" of Ezra's Law. Bonham is discussing the legislation with Senate leaders in hope of passage that has eluded prior versions of the bill since 2019.

Republicans are a minority in the Senate and the House, requiring more protracted

negotiations to have bills they sponsor get the necessary hearings and committee votes.

"He's working through the established power structure," Swanson said. "It's a very tough hill to climb."

Bonham's bill is among 175 bills sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has to schedule a hearing and work session to send the bill to the Senate floor no later than April 4. Any bill still in the committee would die for the 2023 session.

If approved by the Senate, it would go to the House Judiciary Committee, which is already dealing with 177 bills assigned to the committee. It would have to send the bill to the House floor for a vote no later than May 19.

Earlier versions of "Ezra's Law" called for an automatic 25-year prison term to offenders who left victims severely disabled.

The 2022 version of the

bill was supported by the Oregon District Attorney's Association and opposed by the Oregon Criminal Defense Lawyers Association.

Proponents say the beating of a small child that left permanent damage required more than 12 years of prison time.

"This is in essence a life sentence for Ezra," House Minority Leader Christine Drazan, R-Canby, said in 2021. "Folks like Ezra's family are serving it with Ezra."

Critics have said the language in the bill was too broad to give clear guidance to judges and juries on the standard for enhanced sentencing.

Previous versions of the bill also became ensnared in unrelated partisan fighting that led to a walkout and shutdown of the 2020 session, and delays in the 2021 and 2022 sessions that

Garcia-Silver wins 10K race in Bullards Beach Run

Marshfield High School senior Alex Garcia-Silver raced to victory Saturday in the annual Bullards Beach Run, the first event of the year for the South Coast Running Club.

Racing in cool temperatures with a stiff south wind, Garcia-Silver covered the 10-kilometer course in 36 minutes and 43 seconds. He finished nearly half a minute ahead of Tyler Goens of Grants Pass, who finished in 37:10. Karl Smith of Coquille was third in 39:52 as the top three all broke 40 minutes.

Jenny McGriff of Coos Bay was first among women, crossing the line eighth overall in 50:01. Leah Rector of North Bend (52:40) and Jennifer Kormendi of Roseburg (55:07) were second and third among female runners.

Gunnar Aten of Bandon won the 5-kilometer race in 21:40, followed by Sean Arrmefar of Roseburg (21:55) and 70-year-old Jerry Roberts of Myrtle Point (22:08). The next three finishers were the top three females, all between 12 and 14 years old — Jael Legutki

of Bandon (23:22), Mia Aten of Bandon (23:57) and Riley Mullanix of Coos Bay (24:37). More than 70 total runners and walkers completed the 10K and 5K races, which each took the runners near the historic Coquille River Lighthouse. A number of youngsters also competed in a kids run.

The next event for the South Coast Running Club is the annual Run of Two Cities, a challenging course that takes runners from Mingus Park in Coos Bay into North Bend.

That race is scheduled for March 11.

Marshfield takes fifth in Bay Cities Duals

Host Marshfield placed fifth in the annual Bay Cities Duals wrestling tournament, held last weekend.

The Pirates advanced to the championship bracket by winning one of their two pool matches on the opening day of the event. Marshfield lost to Cascade 57-24 and beat Coquille 54-29.

In the win over the Red Devils, the Pirates took advantage of fielding an entire 14-wrestler lineup, winning eight matches by forfeit. Coquille actually won five of the six contested matches, the exception a pin by Marshfield’s Ethan Flood at 138 pounds.

In the championship bracket, the Pirates fell to La Pine 60-19 before bouncing back to beat Sheldon 4230 and Elmira 45-21.

Myrtle Point’s girls basketball team added another big win in the Skyline League on Tuesday when the Bobcats beat host Powers in their first matchup as rivals in the league.

Myrtle Point overcame a cold shooting night with good defense to beat the Cruisers 39-21, limiting Powers to six or fewer points in every quarter.

“I’m very proud of our defense and our willingness to keep working when we were so far off (on offense),” Myrtle Point coach Jennifer Sproul said.

A big crowd helped make the game fun for the teams who are in the same league for the first time.

“It was a great atmosphere,” Sproul said.

Jakelynn Hermann had 11 points and Grace Bradford seven for the Bobcats, who improved to 5-1 in league play, tied with Umpqua Valley Christian and New Hope for second in the league standings behind unbeaten North Douglas.

Myrtle Point won its matchup with UVC and has yet to play New Hope, which suffered its lone league loss to Powers.

The Cruisers lost their third straight and fell to 3-4 in league play. KaiLey Jo Swenson led the way for Powers with seven points.

Myrtle Point hosts Riddle on Friday and is at Camas Valley and Days Creek next Tuesday and Fri-

Over the two days, Flood and Trenton Edwards (220 pounds) won four contested matches and Jonathan Calvert (152 pounds) won three. Leonardo Pacheco (106), Bryson Harvey (285) and Wyatt Petley (170) all won two contested bouts and Rowdy Lewis (132), Bailey Thompson (126), Tanner Miille (120) and Richardo Chacon (186) won one.

The Pirates also received multiple victories by forfeits.

North Bend won one of its matches, beating Coquille in the silver bracket for the teams that didn’t make it into the championship bracket.

The opening day, The Bulldogs fell to Sheldon 60-14 and Harrisburg 66-6.

Then in the Silver Bracket, North

Bend came up just short against Glide 36-30, lost to Hidden Valley 39-34 and fell to Cottage Grove 4230 before beating Coquille 41-30.

Wyatt Smith went unbeaten for the Bulldogs over the two days at 138 pounds, winning five contested matches and winning one by forfeit. Kevin Garcia won two matches at 160 pounds and North Bend got single contested wins by Connor Perez (120), Nicholas Campbell (126), Eirik Vickoren (145) and Gavin Walter (285). Coquille also won one match, beating Glide on a tie-breaker. The team was hampered by taking up to eight forfeits a match.

In pool matches, Coquille fell to Cascade 60-20 and to Marshfield.

In the bracket, the Red Devils lost to North Bend, as well as to

Cottage Grove (48-24) and Hidden Valley (36-30) Coquille and Glide tied 30-30, though only four matches were contested.

Camaron Houston (145) and Riley Jones (182) won all their contested matches and Coquille also got multiple contested-match wins by Andrew Matlock (195) and Kieran Sherritt and Tommy Vigue, who split time at 220 and 285 pounds. Mason Fisher (138) also won a match for Coquille.

La Pine beat Harrisburg 51-18 in the championship bout.

“I’m proud of how the boys played tonight against a good, well coached team,” Bandon coach Vince Quattrocchi said. “They weathered Oakland’s runs and kept taking the fight to Oakland.”

Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp, R-Bend, said he believed the current Senate bill has a strong chance of approval. He is backing the bill and would work to gain passage in the Senate.

Senate Bill 430, the current legislation, lists only Bonham as chief sponsor, with no additional co-sponsors. Other lawmakers can sign onto the bill as it makes its way through the Senate and House.

Bonham has sought Democratic support for the bill in recent versions, with Rep. Paul Evans, D-Monmouth and Rep. Carla Piluso, D-Gresham signing on as

co-sponsors. Piluso is no longer in the legislature.

Rep. Jason Kropf, D-Bend, is the new chair of the House Judiciary Committee, which would likely hold hearings on the bill if it first passes the Senate. He's discussed the bill with Bonham and sees a strong chance for passage in 2023. "I'm a 'big picture' supporter of the bill," Kropf said Wednesday. "There may be a need for some modification, to get the language correct. I'm talking with Sen. Bonham and think we can get the bill done."

Tina Jorgensen, the grandmother of Ezra Jerome Thomas, testified in 2021 about the effect of the attack on her and her family. “I was going to be able to cherish graduations, proms and even look forward to him getting married and building

a family of his own someday,” Tina said. “He had a whole life ahead of him. I had a life of grandma moments to share with him. Sadly, my hopes and dreams for Ezra’s future were taken away on Nov. 19, 2017. Before that date, I lived a normal life. Every ounce of joy was taken from me that day.” Bonham was elected to the Senate in November and was selected by his caucus peers to serve as one of the deputy leaders under Knopp.

Marshfield students hit the slopes

While most of us were enjoying a break from the rain over the weekend, 13 students at Marshfield High School were having the time of their lives on the ski slopes on Williamette Pass.

The Chamber Minute: Gain a voice

Top 10 reasons to join the Chamber: Number 4, Gain a voice in government.

Country singer Aaron

Tippin had a song a few years ago entitled, “You got to stand for something or you’ll fall for anything”.

Our Legislative Action Team (LAT) takes that to heart. It’s

important for your Chamber to promote those things which give us a positive economic climate to grow your business and create a healthy community for your family.

The LAT has actively participated in every legislative session since 2011. The 2022 short session running 35 days at the legislature was intense. With its compressed “bill to law” processing time, it was filled with challenges for Oregon businesses and communities which the LAT was striving to balance

for all of us. In the 2023 long session the public will once again get to access the capitol in person. The LAT will track and work the bills in support of the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce (OSCC) Legislative Agenda. While we have not been successful in every fight in the past, the Chambers of Commerce in Oregon, are having an impact in Salem.

The LAT, over the past few years, has developed a strong relationship with our legislators through the OSCC

Chamber Day at the capitol, twice monthly teleconferences with them which we sponsor with the college, and direct contact with them and their offices. During the session, our Team meets as many times as necessary, each month, to be timely and effective. We also update the information flow with an OSCC weekly legislative call.

Too often we think if we had more time, assets or help, we could really get something done. I am reminded of an old hymn which says “To the many duties ever near you now be true. Brighten the corner where you are”. So Chamber member, if you want to have an impact on making this a great place to live and grow your business, give us a call and join the LAT.

Remember “our business is helping your business”. And like us on Facebook.
