North Bend officially cancels IGA with airport district

By DAVID RUPKALVIS

For The World

The clock is now ticking on a 90-day deadline to create a new law enforcement agreement between the city of North Bend and the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport.

After the North Bend City Council voted unanimously to cancel an intergovernmental agreement between the city and the airport district, City Administrator David Milliron sent a letter to the district informing them of the news. The city council made its decision after Police Chief Gary McCullough told council members that due to staffing levels he

could not guarantee a response to any call at the airport within 15 minutes. The IGA between the city and the airport mandated a 15-minute response time, which is a requirement the TSA and Homeland Security have for all airports.

In the letter Milliron sent to Theresa Cook, executive director of the airport district, he said police and fire would always respond to actual emergencies at the airport as they always have.

“The city of North Bend and its governing body recognize the importance of quality commercial air service to the local and regional economy through improved access for visitors and, most importantly, to support area

businesses, organizations, and institutions in promoting and fostering economic development opportunities on Oregon’s South Coast. Therefore, the city remains committed to helping CCAD’s effort to expand aviation travel and services in North Bend and beyond,” the letter read. “However, the North Bend City Council voted 7-0 at its business meeting on January 24, 2023, to cancel an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) signed by the Coos County Airport District (CCAD) on November 15, 2012, and the North Bend City Administrator on January 30, 2013. The City Council provided 90 days for CCAD to renegotiate a new agreement in

good faith with the city or to secure other services to meet its TSA/ Homeland Security obligations.

“Police Chief Gary McCullough nor City Administrator David Milliron was aware of the IGA until TSA/Homeland Security brought it to the chief’s attention in April 2022. Chief McCullough has since proactively and consistently informed the TSA/Homeland Security and CCAD personnel that his department lacks the necessary staffing and resources to abide by the agreement, which requires a fifteen-minute response to a TSA request. The city is otherwise obligated to respond to 9-1-1 emergencies, per Oregon Law. North Bend Police and Fire will

continue to respond to emergencies at the airport in the same manner and service level provided to others within our community.”

The letter was dated January 31 and was sent via certified mail.

The airport district has not made a public comment about the issue since the city council voted to cancel the IGA.

The 15-minute requirement is a federal mandate, but it does not require the airport to have an agreement with the city it is in. Therefore, the district could look to other law enforcement agencies such as the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Coos Bay police or even Tribal police to meet the requirement.

Marshfield Junior High opens its doors to community

By DAVID RUPKALVIS

For The World

Coos Bay School District celebrated its newest campus Wednesday with an open house at Marshfield Junior High School.

More than 50 community members attended the open house where they heard from Superintendent Charis McGaughy, Board Chair Kim Brick, Principal Floyd Montiel and Nancy Giggy, who runs Integrity Management Solutions.

The general theme for the night was one of gratitude and success.

The gratitude was to the voters in Coos Bay, who approved the 2017 bond that paid for two new schools – Eastside and Marshfield Junior High.

The bond also paid for a full rebuild at Madison and improvements to Sunset and Millicoma.

Gratitude was also expressed for the school board and the volunteer bond committee that helped get the bond to voters as well as the district staff and contractors who did all the work during COVID and supply chain delays on time and under budget.

Giggy, who led the construction effort with her company, said the junior high presented a unique challenge because of its three-story design and because supply issues forced the district to adjust quickly as construction was ongoing. But despite the challenges, the junior high was ready for the first day of school in 2021, and now houses more than 400 seventh and eighth graders.

Montiel, who has led the school since it opened in 2021, told the audience the new campus is making

a difference for junior high students and will help students in their educational journey in Coos Bay School District.

After listening to the district leaders, those in attendance were welcome to walk around the threestory school, with teachers and staff showing off classrooms on all three floors, the gym and girls’ locker room and the office space.

Coos Bay School District will be hosting an open house for Madison School in the coming months, likely in March. An open house at Eastside School was held in September.

Merkley discusses port, more during stop in Coos Bay

U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, standing front, listens to a question from a commercial fisherman who was concerned that plans to bring offshore wind to the Oregon Coast could impact not only the fishing industry but the quality of life of those who live here. Merkley said he agreed with many of the concerns, adding he and his staff are working with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to come up with a solution that expands renewable energy while protecting commercial fishermen, the climate and those who live and recreate at the coast. Merkley discussed that issue and many more during a town hall at Heritage Hall on the campus of Marshfield High School. For a full recap, see the Friday edition of The World.

Coos Estuary Map

Viewing February 15-24

Members of the Bay Area community are invited to Southwestern Oregon Community College’s Umpqua Hall to view a suite of updated maps describing the Coos estuary and surrounding communities. An informal opening will be held February 15 from 4-7 p.m. when members from the Partnership for Coastal Watersheds, including Coos County planning staff, will be in attendance to answer questions and collect comments related to the maps. The revised maps, which include upto-date information about local natural resources, coastal hazards, socio-economic conditions and land uses in the estuary and surrounding shorelands, are proposed to be incorporated into the county’s first phase revision of the Coos Bay Estuary Management Plan. The maps will remain on display at Umpqua Hall until February 24. The maps can also be accessed digitally, along with other proposed revisions to the Coos Bay Estuary Management Plan, at: https://www.

Senator Knopp introduces bill sponsored by all 30 senators

In August 2022, Willamette Week published a story which highlighted a Department of Administrative Services (DAS) policy allowing state employees to work remotely while living in states with no income tax, and having their travel reimbursed by taxpayers. The policy states that “employees who work under the full-time remote work model must be reimbursed by the agency for travel to and from the central workplace.” In response, Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp (R-Bend) introduced SB 853.

Senator Knopp released the following statement:

“Last summer, I heard from taxpayers and state

employees alike who were outraged at the practice of reimbursing travel for outof-state, highly-paid government workers to be flown back to Oregon to do their job at taxpayer expense. It’s a fundamental equity issue. Most local state employees don’t get paid to commute to work.

I’m thankful to have 29 Senate co-sponsors and impressive bipartisan support in the House. Now begins the work of advancing it through the process.”

The full text of Senate Bill 853 can be found here. This legislation is part of Oregon Senate Republicans’ Equitable Oregon Agenda, which can be found here.

It’s too late

The governor is doing what the Democrats in Oregon are famous for She’s throwing millions of taxpayer dollars at a lost cause. Democrats in Oregon legalized small amounts of heroin, meth, and many other drugs and we are seeing the effect of it. Drug addicted people in every town, homeless camps everywhere.

This attempt to house these addicts will not work because there addicted and many mentally ill because of drug use. This is proof that Democrats are ruining our state for everyone. They create a problem then pour money into the result of its failure. Drug use is the reason courts cant punish people for crimes because the state opened the door for drug addicts to come to Oregon and use the Oregon Health Plan and food stamp card as support for their habit.

Oregonians should to be mad as hell over all the free programs but seem not to care how the tax money is wasted. The damage is done and no amount of money will fix it now. Its too late. In the last 30 years the liberals have destroyed Oregon for each and everyone living here.

Stand against high prices

I want to address the fact of rising costs of everything due to gas prices and greed. People wake up. If you don’t need an item then don’t buy it. You can control the market if you just put off buying until the gas prices go down and if the goods don’t go down in price be verbal and tell the people in the business that are controlling the business prices, you will not be buying anything from them until the price goes down and stick to your word.

Tell your friends and family not to buy unless they absolutely need it. When you sacrifice and then see the results, it’s very rewarding.

Environment Can’t Wait for Agreement on a Carbon Tax

By BRUNO CONTE, KLAUS DESMET and ESTEBAN ROSSI-HANSBERG InsideSources.com

The most effective policy instrument to tackle the negative effect of carbon emissions is to levy a tax on the carbon footprint of businesses and consumers.

However, when it comes to reaching a global agreement on a carbon tax, it is no secret that progress has yet to be discovered. Rather than waiting for the world to come together, some countries, such as Sweden, Chile and Australia, have introduced their own carbon-pricing schemes. Still, many governments are weary of such unilateral approaches. They worry about the industry moving elsewhere without solving the global climate emergency.

In new research by Southern Methodist University, the University of Chicago and the University of Bologna, we argue that this reluctance to go it alone ignores how unilateral carbon taxes interact with the forces that shape the world’s economic geography. Once these forces are brought into the picture, we find that a unilateral carbon tax of $40 per ton of carbon dioxide introduced by the United States or the European Union would expand these economies and improve global well-being.

To reach this conclusion, we developed a high-resolution model of the world economy. In this model, a carbon tax not only mitigates future warming but also affects the distribution of economic activity across the globe. But if so, wouldn’t we expect the economy introducing the carbon tax to lose?

After all, a carbon tax makes it more expensive to conduct business for the region that introduces that tax. As such, wouldn’t the economy of the United States or the European

Union shrink after implementing a carbon tax, and wouldn’t this be costly for the world today?

This negative view of carbon taxes would be correct if we ignored the revenues generated by these taxes. Businesses in the United States or the European Union would face a higher tax burden. There would be downward pressure on wages to remain competitive, and local income would drop.

But what happens if governments rebate the carbon tax revenue to the locations that paid them? As long as local wages are not too sensitive to an increase in energy price, such local rebating will increase local income more in areas that specialize in energyintensive sectors. Though seemingly counterintuitive, the logic for this result is straightforward. The carbon tax burden is partly passed on to the final consumer. With many consumers residing elsewhere, a larger part of the tax is de facto paid by foreign consumers.

In contrast, the tax revenue is integrally rebated locally. This bumps local income and more so in places specializing in energyintensive industries. Non-agriculture emits more carbon than agriculture, so those locations mainly produce non-agricultural goods. With non-agriculture being particularly productive, this unilateral carbon tax will benefit the most productive areas of the United States or the EU and incentivize migration from the rest of the world.

With more people moving to the most productive areas, the global economy becomes more efficient. At its heart, a unilateral carbon tax with local rebating of revenue introduced by either the United States or the European Union acts as a subsidy to some of the world’s most productive areas. As this attracts people to move there, not only does the local economy expand but there are global gains from a more efficient distribution of economic activity. Regarding carbon taxes, policymakers worry about deindustrialization and highly productive industries moving elsewhere. They also worry about a policy that promises future

The doctor had a serious problem. And he had a good idea why it was happening.

Diarrhea was running rampant among Union Civil War soldiers. It was more than the temporary discomfort we know today. Treating it was a major challenge. Pepto-Bismol and similar drugs wouldn’t hit the market for decades. But the disease wasn’t waiting.

Some 1.6 million cases were reported in the Union army alone. It claimed the lives of 50,000 soldiers. That was the same strength as 10 brigades, or two full divisions. Not to mention the tens of thousands of other soldiers hospitalized with the ailment. Diarrhea was seriously depleting Union ranks.

The good doctor had a hunch about why so many guys were getting sick. It was because of what they were eating. And he knew a thing or two about diet and its effect on health.

Just 38 when the war broke out, the New York state native had started his career as a chemist. He went on to earn his medical degree in 1850, topping it off with a master’s degree (a major accomplishment at the time) two years later. Along the way, he developed a fascination with dietary habits and how the food one ate helped determine how one felt.

When the Civil War commenced, he put on a blue uniform and served as an army surgeon. That was when the

gains at the expense of the current generation that bears the cost of higher taxes.

Our research reveals that both concerns are misplaced. A modest unilateral carbon tax expands the local economy, especially in the highly productive industrial sector. And it has positive effects on the global economy, not just in the future but upon impact.

widespread diarrhea crisis caught his attention. It didn’t take long to pinpoint the culprit.

Hardtack was the foundation of the enlisted man’s diet. It was shaped like a modern soda cracker, though it was much larger and quite thicker. A flour, water, and salt concoction was baked rock hard to prevent spoiling. It was so hard, in fact, soldiers often boiled it in water just to make it edible. Men with dental issues even broke their teeth biting it. Nevertheless, Washington shipped tons of it to feed the guys at the front.

Hardtack was very high in carbohydrates, and that was the problem. The doctor was a strong proponent of a high-protein diet (he was Paleo when Paleo wasn’t cool) and thought fruits, vegetables and cereals should be strictly limited. He believed if you wanted to be healthy you should eat meat — and plenty of it.

To treat patients with diarrhea, the doctor had beef ground up, shaped into patties, and broiled. He fed it to them three times a day and had them wash it down with hot water or coffee, which he was certain cleansed the digestive system. Sure enough, many patients became regular again. The doctor knew he was on to something.

He continued studying the connection between good eating and good health after the war. In 1888, he even started a national health fad when he published “The Relation of Alimentation and Disease.” (Note: The book is filled with scatological descriptions from cover to cover and is not for the faint of heart.) Though

it included other health-friendly recipes, his boiled ground beef patties were the star of the show. They became wildly popular. Over time, Americans jazzed them up with gravy, minced onion, pepper, and even a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

When the United States entered World War I in 1917, any food with a Germanic name was suddenly out of favor. Sauerkraut, for instance, became “liberty cabbage” for the duration. So it was the broiled beef patties. “Hamburger” had too much of a German ring to it and a new handle was needed. Thus, the creator’s name was called into service. The doctor was James Henry Salisbury and almost overnight his creation became “Salisbury steak.”

The entrée went on to become a reliable TV dinner staple with millions upon millions of servings consumed by Baby Boomers throughout the second half of the 20th century. Salisbury steak has fallen on hard times in recent years as Millennials and Gen Zers turn up their noses at the dish their parents and grandparents once enjoyed. But you can still find it in the frozen food section of the grocery store, a forgotten legacy from the time soldiers ate it to prevent mad dashes to the privy.

Tigers top 70 points in easy win over Oakridge

The World

Bandon’s boys had their best offensive game of the season Friday, putting up a 71-46 win at Oakridge for their sixth victory in the last seven games.

Owen Brown exploded for 30 points, while Carter Brown added 11, Will Panagakis nine and Dylan Kamph eight.

“Our offense is coming along,” Bandon coach Vince Quattrocchi said. Bandon also limited the Warriors to 19 points in the second half as the Tigers pulled away for the victory.

“We switched from man to zone and it slowed them down and gave us better opportunities to rebound the ball,” Quattrocchi said.

Bandon improved to 10-4 in the Valley Coast Conference, tied for second in the south division with Oakland behind unbeaten Gold Beach.

Oakland lost to Central Linn on Thursday and Gold Beach won at Monroe in overtime on Saturday.

The Tigers host Waldport on Tuesday and Monroe on Friday to finish the regular season.

EAST LINN CHRISTIAN 63, REEDSPORT 40: The Brave fell on the road Thursday to the top team from the league’s north division.

Alex Dukovich had 18 points and Jay B Noel and Jaden Morgan eight each for Reedsport, which finishes the season with games at Gold Beach on Tuesday and at home against Oakridge on Friday.

DAYS CREEK 47, MYRTLE

POINT 43: The Wolves ended the Bobcats’ winning streak at 12 games by winning at home Friday night and avenging an earlier 56-50 nonleague loss in Myrtle Point.

The result created a three-way tie atop the Skyline League between Days Creek, Myrtle Point and North Douglas, but the Bobcats are guaranteed a first- or second-place finish in the regular season if they beat New Hope at home Friday because Days Creek and North Douglas play each other.

If Days Creek beats the Warriors, the Wolves would be the league’s No. 1 seed to the Skyline tournament. If North Douglas wins, Myrtle Point would be the top seed (with a win over New Hope) and Days Creek would drop all the way to No. 4 behind third-place Elkton, which beat the Wolves, if Elkton finishes the regular season with a win at Pacific on Friday.

The top two seeds advance directly to the league tournament while the third and fourth host home playoff games needing to win to get to the tournament at North Bend.

PACIFIC 39, GLENDALE 27:

The Pirates got their first win of the league season on Friday, topping visiting Glendale.

Logan Knapp scored 21 points to lead Pacific.

Coach Lee Pestana said he was happy his team picked up the win.

POWERS SPLITS OT GAMES: The Cruisers came up just short on the road against Yoncalla on Friday, falling to the Eagles 50-48 in overtime.

Tayton Allen had 14 points and Rene Sears 13 for the Cruisers. Powers bounced back with a 61-47 overtime win over Mapleton in a nonleague game Saturday and finishes the season at Glendale on Friday.

In Saturday’s win over the Sailors, Charlie Shorb scored 29 points and Sears added 14. Shorb went 3-for-11 from the foul line in reg-

ulation, but hit all eight of his free throws in overtime, when he scored 14 of the Cruisers’ 16 points.

JUNCTION CITY 68, MARSHFIELD 31: The Tigers rolled past the visiting Pirates to stay perfect in league play as the teams opened the second half of the Sky-Em season. Marshfield, still seeking its first league win, hosts Cottage Grove on Tuesday and has a nonleague game at Newport on Friday, when the team has its bye in the second half of the league schedule.

MARIST CATHOLIC 68, NORTH BEND 42: The Spartans topped the host Bulldogs as the teams opened the second round of league play.

Marist Catholic remains in second place in the league standings at 4-1. North Bend is 1-4 heading into its final home game, Tuesday against Junction City. The Bulldogs are at Cottage Grove on Friday.

COQUILLE 41, SUTHERLIN

31: The Red Devils won their lone game of the week, beating the host Bulldogs on Friday night.

Hunter Layton led the way on offense with 16 points and Coquille limited Sutherlin to seven or fewer points the first three quarters.

Coquille improved to 6-5 in league play heading into the final week of the regular season, with games at home Monday against South Umpqua (results were not available) and Friday against Glide sandwiched around a road trip Wednesday to Douglas.

The Red Devils are third in the north division of the Far West League. Douglas is 9-2 and South Umpqua 9-3.

GIRLS

MARSHFIELD 54, JUNC-

TION CITY 30: The Pirates affirmed their spot in second place

in the league standings by beating the host Tigers to open the second round of league play.

Marshfield improved to 4-1 with its second straight win following its loss to Marist Catholic. Junction City is third at 2-3.

The Pirates’ only game this week is Tuesday’s home contest with Cottage Grove.

MARIST CATHOLIC 51, NORTH BEND 29: The Bulldogs fell to the visiting Spartans on Friday.

North Bend is 1-4 in league play heading into Tuesday’s game against Junction City and visits Cottage Grove on Friday.

SUTHERLIN 61, COQUILLE

41: The Bulldogs beat the visiting Red Devils to stay perfect in the Far West League standings.

Coquille fell to 7-4 in league play heading into the final week of the regular season.

The Red Devils hosted South Umpqua on Monday (results weren’t available) and have a critical game at Douglas on Tuesday, when a win would guarantee a home contest in the league playoffs for a spot in the state playoffs. Coquille finishes the regular season at home against Glide on Friday.

MYRTLE POINT 41, DAYS

CREEK 30: The Bobcats won their eighth game in a row and remained in second place in the Skyline League heading into their regular-season finale at home against New Hope.

A win over the Warriors would leave the Bobcats alone in second and guarantee a spot in the league tournament and the Class 1A playoffs. North Douglas is a perfect 9-0 while Myrtle Point is 8-1 and Umpqua Valley Christian 7-2. New Hope is 6-3.

YONCALLA 43, POWERS

Celebrating Black History Month

38: The Cruisers came up just short against the Eagles, falling in overtime and missing a chance to lock down a spot in the league playoffs.

Powers finished 5-5 in league play and could end up in a threeway tie for fifth with Camas Valley and Elkton after the Elks beat the Hornets on Friday. Elkton finishes with a game against Pacific and Camas Valley plays Umpqua Valley Christian.

KaiLey Jo Swenson and Gracie Gregorio had 12 points and Skylar Thompson nine for Powers against the Eagles. Nicole Roffisnger had 27 for Yoncalla.

Earlier in the week, Lauren Stallard had 16 points and Swenson and Thompson 15 each in a 56-27 win over Pacific. Madaline Colgrove had 16 for the Pirates.

Pacific did not have a game Friday, but finishes the season with games Tuesday against Bandon’s JV team and Friday at home against Elkton.

OAKRIDGE 57, BANDON 24:

The Warriors stopped the Tigers’ Valley Coast Conference win streak at nine games by beating the short-handed Tigers on Friday.

Bandon, which played without two key starters due to injury, still will finish first in the league’s south division.

The Tigers, now 12-2 in league, finish the regular season with home games Tuesday against Waldport and Friday against Monroe. The game against the Dragons on Friday will be a good playoff tuneup since they are second in the league’s north division behind unbeaten Central Linn.

Reesdport, meanwhile, lost to East Linn Christian 49-15 and finishes with games at Gold Beach on Tuesday and at home against Oakridge on Friday.

South Coast girls advance eight to state wrestling tournament

Eight South Coast girls advanced to the state tournament by placing in the top four in the Class 4A-3A-2A1A District 2 tournament Friday and Saturday at Cottage Grove High School.

This is the first year the state tournament for girls has been separated between the biggest schools (Class 5A and 6A) and the rest of the state.

SWOCC men beat Storm to open second round of league play

The World

The Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s basketball team bounced back from a tough loss to finish the first half of NWAC South Region play with a win on a shot just before the buzzer against host Chemeketa to open the second round Saturday.

The Lakers beat the Storm 69-67 on the shot by O’shen Cazimero.

The winning bucket was set up by a block on the other end of the court by Matt Oryang.

SWOCC trailed by 10 at halftime, but rallied for the win.

Onwaja Thomas led the way on offense with 17 points and also grabbed 10 rebounds.

Joseph Schulkins added 13 points, including going 7-for-7 at the free throw line and Cazimero scored 11. Ren Fonnesbeck and Zach Jefferson added nine and eight points, respectively, off the bench.

Saturday was another typical, competitive day in the south Region. Portland edged Lane by one point (65-64)

and Mount Hood beat Linn-Benton by three (85-82).

SWOCC got its second straight road win, which bodes well for the rest of the season, since five of the remaining seven games also come away from Prosper Hall. The Lakers started the second round with an 89-79 home loss to Linn-Benton on Wednesday.

SWOCC trailed the Roadrunners 4227 at the break and weren’t able to claw all the way back.

Cazimero had 21 points for the Lakers. Logan Prince added 19, including four 3-pointers, and Thomas scored 17.

Tyron Parker had 26 points and Ayden Foster had 11 points and 18 rebounds for Linn-Benton. SWOCC only had 24 rebounds as a team.

Through Saturday’s games, Clackamas leads the South Region at 7-2 while Umpqua is 6-3 and SWOCC and Linn-Benton are 5-4. Portland and Mount Hood both are 4-5. The top four teams will advance to the NWAC tournament. The Lakers are on the road for both

games this week, at Lane on Wednesday and Mount Hood on Friday.

WOMEN

SWOCC’s women dropped a pair of close games during the week.

On Saturday, Chemeketa beat the Lakers 53-45, spurred by a 17-5 spurt in the second quarter. Kiana Quintero had 18 points, including hitting 6 of 7 from the line, and Skylar Willey added 12, including hitting all six of her free throws in the loss.

The Lakers went 17-for-19 from the line but just 13-for-43 from the floor and 2-for-10 from 3-point range.

On Wednesday, Linn-Benton edged SWOCC 62-59. Willey had 13 points and Jaci Powers and KylieMonet Fletcher-Gilbert 12 each for SWOCC. Kaelynn Teagle had 10 points. Willey had 16 rebounds and Powers 15 for SWOCC.

SWOCC is now 3-6 in league play, in fifth place but three games behind fourth-place Umpqua. Lane is a perfect 9-0 and Linn-Benton and Clackamas both are 7-2.

North Bend’s Kayla Hayes placed second at 115 pounds. She had a bye to open the tournament and then three straight pins to reach the championship bout. But in the title match, she was pinned by Cottage Grove’s Allison Palluck, the top seed in the 19-wrestler weight class.

Siuslaw’s Macali Lade was champion at 110 pounds, pinning Taft’s Julia Towers in the title match and becoming the only South Coast champion.

Marshfield’s Elyssa Diego placed fourth at 105 pounds to advance to state, winning three straight matches after losing in the quarterfinals.

Teammate Mariana Velasquez was fourth at 235 pounds to also earn a spot at state.

Siuslaw’s Jane Lacouture finished third at 155 pounds, winning four straight bouts (three by pin) after losing in the quarterfinals. She also beat North Bend’s Kaylianna Mazzucchi in the consolation semifinals after Mazzucchi had reached the championship semifinals. Mazzucchi ultimately placed sixth.

Coquille’s Azalea Liles finished fifth at 115 pounds and then won in a wrestle back for a spot in the state tournament. Liles was given a shot because she had not wrestled the fourth-place finisher, North Valley’s Delanie Burton. She pinned Burton in

the match for a spot at state. Liles had six pins in the tournament, but lost in the quarterfinals and in the consolation semifinals.

Siuslaw’s Danin Lacouture also ended up in a wrestle back at 135 pounds after placing fifth. She lost in the semifinals and consolation semifinals but won her wrestle back over Itzel Andrade of Madras, giving the Vikings three total wrestlers at state.

Brookings-Harbor’s Lexi Newman, the top seed at 135 pounds, won three straight bouts by pin to reach the championship match, but was pinned by Elmira’s Katarina Jentzsch for the title.

Sweet Home, which had the most girls in the tournament with 16, won the title by eight points over La Pine, which had eight girls but had three champions and advanced two others to state.

Siuslaw was sixth, North Bend 16th, Coquille 30th, Brookings-Harbor and Marshfield tied for 33rd and Myrtle Point tied for 48th.

The state tournament for the girls is Feb. 23 and 24 at the Memorial Coliseum in Portland, the same two days as the boys for Class 4A, Class 3A and Class 2A-1A.

In all, 50 schools had at least one girl in the regional tournament.

The district tournaments for the boys will be contested in the coming two weekends.

Marshfield and North Bend compete with Henley, Hidden Valley, Klamath Union, Mazama and Phoenix on Feb. 18 in a Class 4A district tournament at Phoenix High School Coquille is part of a 12team Class 3A district that competes this coming Friday and Saturday at Pleasant Hill. Myrtle Point, Reedsport and Gold Beach are part of a 21-school Class 2A-1A district that has its tournament this Friday and Saturday at Lowell High School.

GPS tracking, simulations show optimal locations to help desert bighorn sheep cross freeways

By STEVE LUNDEBERG

Article

Guest

Desert bighorn sheep whose Southern California range is bisected by freeways may one day benefit from Oregon State University modeling designed to show where the animals would be most apt to use overpasses to safely cross the interstates.

The research is important because it shows how GPS tracking data and computer simulations can be used to predict animal movements – information that’s needed for the optimal siting of crucial but expensive habitat connectivity enhancement projects.

Findings of the study led by Christina Aiello, a research associate in the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences, were published in

Landscape Ecology.

“Our work is already having an impact on conservation and land management decisions,” Aiello said. “The study’s findings are central to discussions among California officials about enhancing wildlife connectivity across barriers like interstate highways and a proposed Southern California to Las Vegas high-speed rail project. Government agencies and non-governmental organizations have voiced support for the construction of wildlife overcrossings at three key locations identified by our research.”

A collaboraton that also included Clinton Epps, a professor in the Oregon State College of Agricultural Sciences, and OSU graduate student Paige Prentice looked at GPS data from

collared animals from nine populations of bighorn in the Mojave Desert.

The 20-million-acre desert includes Death Valley and Joshua Tree national parks and the Mojave National Preserve as well as Interstate 15 and I-40. The center divider of I-15 would hold the tracks of the proposed 200-mph train, which would be separated from auto traffic by a 6-foot concrete wall on either side of the rails.

Aiello, Epps and Prentice teamed up with scientists from the National Park Service to analyze bighorn movements as a series of step-by-step processes. That type of breakdown allowed the researchers to determine which landscape features the sheep prefer to travel through and which ones they would rather avoid.

“The computer models we used are known as step-selection functions because they determine what habitat bighorn select as they make steps from location to location,” Aiello said. “There are no pre-freeway GPS data to show how bighorn used to travel, so we’re using our models to simulate where bighorn would go if these freeway barriers were to suddenly disappear. Freeways continue to limit where bighorn can travel, even though they have been in place for decades.”

The scientists ran simulations totaling 8,200 years in the lives of bighorn sheep – 200 one-year periods apiece for 41 individuals, on landscapes with and without freeways. The results of the simulations sync up well with what genetics data and

road kill numbers have suggested regarding movement corridors, the researchers say, and provide a more detailed look at how the sheep would benefit from a manmade-obstacle-free environment.

“Barrier removal increased accessible habitat for eight of the nine populations we looked at,” Aiello said.

“Our results can inform important ongoing land use and restoration questions such as, where should we build a wildlife crossing that bighorn sheep would benefit from and use most? And where should we not disturb land because it would interfere with movements that bighorn currently make to access habitat and interact with one other?”

That type of information, she added, is particularly important in desert habitats that continue to see large devel-

opment proposals related to solar energy, transportation and urban expansion.

“There are limited resources in desert ecosystems that make movement and access to diverse habitats especially important to wildlife survival,” Aiello said. “Our study provides a glimpse into how bighorn could use this landscape if they were free to move and choose the habitat they prefer – this helps us know how much the species might benefit if we improve movement across highways.”

Neal Darby, Debra Hughson and Nathan Galloway of the National Park Service also took part in the research, which was funded by the National Park Service, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the National Park Foundation Science Fellowship.

towed, suspect arrested

On January 30, at 10 a.m., Coos County Sheriff’s Deputy Robert Baker was following up with a complaint in the Elliott State Forest regarding a large motorhome which had been parked or possibly abandoned in the area since October 2022.

During the investigation,

it was learned the vehicle had previously been tagged for tow. While Deputy Baker was out with the vehicle preparing to have it towed, the alleged owner arrived at the location. The owner of the trailer was identified as Jerry B. Ashby, 51. A record check revealed Ashby had an active misdemeanor warrant

for his arrest.

As a result, Ashby was arrested on the outstanding warrant and transported to the Coos County Jail. The motorhome was towed by Mast Brothers towing, due to having been left at the location in the Elliott State Forrest for over three months.
