North Bend to wait on camping ordinance By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

North Bend could take its time before creating a camping ordinance to limit the time, manner and place where homeless can camp. City Administrator David Milliron told the city council during a work session last week that after digging further into the two state laws regarding homeless camping, it is probably best

to wait until the League of Cities can come up with sample ordinances that can be used to build a city ordinance. Milliron explained that during a town hall the city held about the issue, Councilor Susanna Noordhoff mentioned the state laws do not mention RVs as part of the legislation. When city staff dug deeper into the issue, they finally connected with an attorney who is considered one

of the foremost attorneys on the legislation. “Yes, the bill itself does not refer to RVs,” Milliron said. “However, whenever applied, if someone is sleeping in a car, a camper or RV, they are asserted to be camping.” Milliron explained the two state laws have different requirements of cities when it comes to homeless camping. House Bill 3115 allows cities to set the time,

manner and place camping is allowed. It also mandates cities set aside a “reasonable” amount of space for the homeless to camp. “The more restrictive we are with how we interpret this ordinance, the greater danger we are for litigation,” Milliron said. “That’s the path we were headed down, where after we surveyed citizens where they basically said, not my backyard. For instance, we had put on the drawing board,

several parking lots. You will absolutely be sued for bad things that happen in the parking lot, if thats the way you go.” Milliron said if a lot is not big enough and fills up even one time, cities can be sued. If you designate a single spot and a crime is committed there, the city could be liable as well. There was some good news Please see CAMPING, Page A10

It’s full-circle for Delilah. The national syndicated radio host has purchased KDUN Radio, a 50,000-watt AM station in Reedsport. It is the station where Delilah, as a teenager, got her start after accepting a job by the then-station owners Jerome and Steve Kenegy. Today, Delilah is heard by

over 12 million listeners weekly on over 160 radio stations across the United States and internationally on the Armed Forces Network in Japan, Korea and Central Europe, on the iHeart Radio app, and through her podcast. “My whole professional life has been amazing and has allowed me to have an amazing opportunities and to go to great places, meet wonderful people and it all started here,” she said.

“And when the opportunity came to buy the station I couldn’t say no.” Community connector As a 40-year radio broadcast veteran, Delilah acknowledges that radio has been challenged over the past few years. “But nationally, over 85% of people still listen to radio at least one a day,” she said. “It is the most used media in America, so we have had some challeng-

es, but we are still growing. In communities like Reedsport, especially, radio is vitally important, so important that people have a voice, so important that they have a way to connect, so important that they have an opportunity to communicate with each other and radio is the way that can happen and is going to happen.” Please see KDUN, Page A10

Both Gov. Kate Brown and Oregon Senate Republican Leader Tim Knopp are calling for the state to use the excess revenue to make critical investments.

Revenue forecast shows Oregon kicker now at $964 million JEREMY C. RUARK The World

The latest Oregon Revenue forecast signals a promising economic outlook. The current forecast projects a Personal Income Tax kicker credit of $964 million and a Corporate Kicker of $634 million. The kicker tax credit goes into effect when the actual state revenue exceeds the forecast-

ed revenue by at least 2%. An amount then returned to the taxpayers through a credit on their tax returns. Overall, gross general fund revenues have doubled since the Great Recession and took a big step up after the pandemic hit. Revenue growth has continued, even as large kicker credits have been paid out, according to the forecast summary released Wednesday morning, Feb. 9,

by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services. “Today, households are flush with cash and rising wealth,” the summary reads. “Consumers have the ability and are showing the willingness to pay higher prices for goods and services. Business can pass along production cost increases as a result, maintaining or even increasing profit margins.” According to the summary,

the biggest economic challenge remains the supply side of the economy. “Supply chains are not broken but are overloaded due to strong consumer demand. Given that labor runs through everything, it is the single biggest constraint on the economy today. Labor supply is increasing. Oregon added a

As the Omicron variant begins to wane, the state of Oregon is preparing to scale back COVID-19 mandates. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced last week the mask mandate would be lifted no later than March 31, putting Oregon in line with many other states like California, New Jersey and Connecticut that announced plans to lift the mandates. Dr. Eric Gleason, assistant director of Coos Health and Wellness, said he understands why those decisions are being made, but he added people can and still should take precautions. “I think it’s absolutely fine to take preventive measures after the mask mandate is lifted,” he said. “While the mandates are being lifted, COVID is still here. It’s not miraculously going away April 1. It’s going to take us some time to get to that endemic state.” Gleason said in Oregon public health officials are looking less at case count and more at hospitalizations and deaths. While Omicron has led to record cases, the impact has not been felt as much in hospitals. Gleason said a combination of more people being vaccinated and more people getting natural immunity has played a role in that. “The immunization aspect is better than at any point in the pandemic,” Gleason said. “That being said, we’re still going to see numbers. We might see a bump in cases.” As of Thursday, Coos County passed the 10,000 mark in total cases over the last two years, with 10,069 total cases. There were 877 active cases Thursday, with 14 people in the hospital. In the last week, four new COVID-linked deaths have been reported, bringing the total since the pandemic began to 136. Gleason said while the governor is planning to lift the mask mandate at the end of March, there are still some uncertainties related to her announcement. One area he said is not so clear is whether mandates will be lifted in schools. “I think there’s a lot to be decided in the next month and 18 days,” he said. He explained due to the close contact many students have in class, fully lifting the

STATEMENT: The City is seeking innovative ways to fund necessary city services in relation to tourism (e.g., streets, tourism-related facilities, etc.) in Reedsport while minimizing the impact to the local rate payer. Considering the significant seasonal increase of travelers, this tax would seek to recapture some of the expense of maintaining these services and other tourism-related facilities that would otherwise fall directly to the local rate payer through property tax collection or fees. The tax increase would provide a minimal increase in revenue from those traveling through the area. If passed this tax would add an additional 2.5% to the already existing 7% tax for a total of 9.5%. The increase is consistent with other cities current rates (e.g., Dunes City, Seaside, Warrenton, etc.) cumulatively this has the potential to generate, around $50,000 annually. These funds would be allocated at 30% to City Services and 70% to fund tourism promotion or tourism related facilities. A “Yes” vote will establish a nine and one-half percent (9.5%) tax to be levied on the gross rent charged for the occupancy of transient lodging in Reedsport. A “No” vote will prevent the local tax increase. Published: February 15, February 18 and February 22, 2022 The World & ONPA (ID:336086)

$25 M awarded for Oregon wave energy testing STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Writer

Oregon may soon become a leader in using the power of waves to generate new energy. The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded $25 million to eight groups for the testing of wave energy technologies at Oregon State University’s PacWave South facility off the central Oregon coast near Newport. Construction began in June 2021 on the approximately $80 million facility, to be located about seven miles offshore. When completed, PacWave South will be the first commercial-scale, grid-connected wave energy test site in the United States. It is expected to be operational in 2023, and grid-connected testing is anticipated to begin the following year. “The DOE’s announcement represents an exciting new development in the pursuit of producing renewable energy from ocean waves,” said Oregon State’s Burke Hales, PacWave’s chief scientist and a professor in the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences. “This commitment to in-water testing at the PacWave site is the bridge from conceptual or scaled-down designs to operational power production in the fully energetic open ocean. It also shows the agency’s long-term commitment to the completion and operation of the PacWave test facility.” How it will work The funded projects will focus on wave energy converter designs for use in geographically remote areas or on small grids;

converter designs that can be either connected to or disconnected from the grid; and research and development related to environmental monitoring, instrumentation systems that operators use to control wave energy converters, and other technologies. Portland State University, with a $4.5 million award, is among the funding recipients. “Wave energy is an essential piece of the strategy to combat the climate crisis, and I’m gratified that Oregon State University, Portland State University and our state will play a central role in developing this energy source to its full potential,” U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden said. “I look forward very much to what the innovative minds at both OSU and PSU as well as elsewhere develop with these projects that put our country on the path to a clean energy future.” Project history The Department of Energy and Oregon State entered into a partnership in 2016 to build the PacWave South facility for exploring how to harness the carbon-free wave energy created from wind blowing over the surface of the sea. PacWave South, prepermitted by the DOE, is designed to alleviate the challenges associated with testing technologies in the open ocean. “PacWave in Oregon is at the forefront of wave energy, thanks in large part to the visionary researchers at Oregon State University,” U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici said. “This federal investment of $25 million will allow innovative technologies from across the country, including one from Portland State

University, to be tested right here in Oregon, bringing us closer to realizing the potential of this tremendous resource.” The University of Washington, which is receiving $1.3 million, is the other university among the funding recipients. The remaining six groups are CalWave Power Technologies Inc. of Oakland; Columbia Power Technologies Inc. of Charlottesville, Virginia; Dehlsen Associates, LLC, of Santa Barbara; Oscilla Power Inc. of Seattle; Integral Consulting of Seattle; and Littoral Power Systems, Inc., of New Bedford, Massachusetts. “It has been impressive to see how far the industry has come in the last decade or so thanks to investments from DOE and support from the state and other entities,”

Letters to the Editor CDC changes

I would like to report, especially to all immunocompromised persons, that both ABC news, as well as CNN, has reported that the CDC has changed their period of five months from 3rd to recommended 4th inoculation of both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines for immunocompromised individuals. Unfortunately, as of Feb. 9, neither Safeway pharmacy or North Bend Medical Center immediate care clinic have had any notification from the CDC as to this change! Unfortunately, this has seemed to be the norm lately. Many, many people who have immunity problems are not even aware of the fourth inoculation at all. This is a very important issue for many people and I would presume they would want to check with their doctors, clinics, pharmacies and hospitals as to this issue. If the period between injection recommendations of vaccine has been shortened, it would seem that this would be for some very important reason. Douglas Banker North Bend

Oppose all STVRs

Recently the Coos Bay City Council made it much more difficult to have a quality family residential living experience in Coos Bay. Elected leadership decided 5-2 to continue support of existing and newly built zoned residential houses being redeveloped into seasonally vacant commercial STVR mini motel rooms instead of zoned residential housing for families and our workforce. Several of our elected leaders are completely out of touch with the reality of in attracting and retaining skilled workers to this community. It was decided that national corporate lodging chains unstaffed and remotely managed commercial STVR mini motel development program in zoned family residential neighborhoods, should continue, with only very minor restrictions Family’s living in zoned residential family and workforce housing in Coos Bay now have the burden of opposing and stopping this parasitic, community soul crushing STVR lodging model, every time this parasite tries to infest and destroy the quality of life in your family friendly zoned residential neighborhood. When you are driving to Roseburg or Eugene for services that should be available in our community, a regional economic hub for 80,000 people, remember that our council thinks lodging seasonal tourist in your zoned residential neighborhood is more important than housing families, and attracting and retaining a skilled workforce for all economic segments of our community. Our council had an opportunity to plan the integration of national lodging chain STVR mini motel lodging developments into existing commercial areas were we have invested millions of taxpayer dollars. They took a near complete pass on real economic development planning, improving housing availability and directly supporting local small business, and went with the hype from parasitic national lodging industry local corporate tools and empty suits. We have a housing shortage that will last for the next decade or more, even if all of the projected and planned housing project are constructed. A chance for more available zoned family and workmale at Coos force residential housing should be more important to the community than residential houses used as commercial seasonally revacant STVR mini motels.

What is going on?

At the North Bend City council meet-

ing on Tuesday, Feb. 8, the City Council decided to reimburse Mr. Milliron (North Bend’s City Administrator) for around $12,000 of legal fees despite the many public comments (including my own) cautioning and urging them to at least delay to find out more about what precedent this would set. The vote was 4-2, and I have to thank the dissenters Goll and Noordhoff. Especially now that a mainstream news (KEZI) article is circulating which not only summarizes controversies surrounding Mr. Milliron here in North Bend but also his time as city administrator in Georgia and Kentucky. One of those controversies was an accusation that Mr. Milliron conducted a traffic stop in a non-police vehicle. That alone gives this North Bend resident pause, especially considering the now retired Police Chief Kappelman and Captain Bennett’s complaints against him. Their statement says they retired “due to their loss of confidence” in Mr. Milliron and that his “inappropriate interjection into a quadruple homicide case in June of 2021” was essentially the last straw. Is this a pattern with Mr. Milliron? It makes me wonder even more about the North Bend HR investigation that cleared Milliron and the beforementioned reimbursed legal fees. I am now seeing North Bend controversies in new light due to this report, and I am sure I am not the only one. I have lost faith in North Bend City Council’s decision-making abilities and I fear that this could completely overshadow the many good things they have done for our city. Elizabeth Chu North Bend

Save the Elliott State Forest

Greg Stone implies that the Elliott State Forest is only good for the cash profit it can produce (The World, Letters, Feb. 8), and he does not think it should become a research forest under the auspices of OSU. He brings up the fact that logging on the Elliott had basically stopped, but does not mention the reason: that logging had been illegal and unsustainable. Past forest management had refused to abide by the Endangered Species Act. This had resulted in years of protests, litigation and injunctions. Rather than improve their forest management, administration put the forest up for sale to private industry; in early 2017 the State Land Board voted to do just that. Now came thousands upon thousands of letters from folks that did not want to see this public forest closed off and clearcut, as well as many trips to Salem to testify in person. Fortunately, these efforts were successful. Mr. Stone says the eventual reversal by the Land Board was “pandering to urban voters.” I wrote many letters and made many trips to Salem in busses and vans loaded with citizens of Coos County. Mr. Stone brings up the trust plan for the forest, made in the 1930s, that included provision of money for the Common School Fund. But this plan was made almost 100 years ago, when it was still believed that logging knew no limits. Not many knew then how clear-cutting was going to cause erosion that would degrade fish habitat, let alone the crucial role that healthy, diverse forests play in holding off the climate crisis coming our way. Presently, the Elliott has been successfully decoupled from its obligation to the school fund, thanks to our governor and the land board. I wonder: would children rather see money from logging the Elliott pad their school budgets, or, presuming that they are well informed, might they rather see a healthy, maturing forest playing its big part in making a stable climate and a livable future for them by capturing and storing carbon dioxide?

Meet the Unluckiest Man in U.S. History By J. Mark Powell InsideSources.com

That corny country TV variety show “Hee-Haw” had a gag called, “Gloom, Despair, and Agony on Me.” Hillbilly sad sacks laid around a cabin porch and wailed in woebegone misery, “If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck at all.” That was a comedy sketch. But the man we’re about to meet could have sung those words and meant them. Because if anybody was ever born under an unlucky star, it was Ambrose Everett Burnside. It’s not that Burnside was a bad guy. Far from it. But he couldn’t have caught a lucky break had he paid for it. Born in Indiana in 1824, he grew up in Rhode Island. He later graduated from West Point. So far, so good. Then things went rapidly downhill. Burnside joined the army in time for the Mexican War. Heading for the action south of the border he was cleaned out by riverboat gamblers. Arriving after the fighting was over, he was stuck pulling guard duty in Mexico City. Switching to the cavalry, he spent the next few years chasing natives around the Southwest and was rewarded with an arrow shot into his neck for his efforts. In 1853, he went home, met a nice woman, and proposed. During the wedding ceremony, when the minister asked the traditional question, she answered, “No,” leaving him standing at the altar. Burnside then tried his hand at inventing, designing a modern repeating rifle. He founded the Burnside Arms Company to produce and sell the gun…whereupon his usual pattern of failure returned. Good as it was, the carbine was just too expensive

for the cash-strapped U.S. government of the late 1850s. Burnside ran for Congress, and of course, lost. Then his gun factory burned down, and with it went all his money. To pay off his creditors, he sold the patents to his firearms– right as the Civil War was about to erupt. Washington bought thousands of the guns, the guy who bought the patents made millions, and Burnside was left holding the bag. The War Between the States was the next stop on Burnside’s path of failure, and where he really did it up big. He joined the Union army and quickly rose to major general Here’s the thing about Ambrose Burnside: He naturally, and without effort, presented the aura of a guy who had it all together. When people met him, they thought, “Wow!” It’s not that he tried to deceive anybody; quiet, decent, and gentle, he nonetheless gave off a confident vibe that left people in awe. But an officer who served under him said, “You had to be around him for a while to realize he just wasn’t that smart.” He proved that with the blood of his soldiers in September 1862 at Antietam, when he ordered repeated attacks across a stone structure now called Burnside’s Bridge. Some 450 Georgians on the opposite hilltop held off 14,000 Union troops for hours during charge after charge, killing many of them. A scout later discovered the Yankees could easily wade the creek downstream, avoiding the Rebel stronghold. Just weeks after that disaster, President Abraham Lincoln appointed Burnside commander of the Army of the Potomac. Historian Bruce Catton wrote, “It was to Burnside’s eternal credit that he

told Lincoln he wasn’t up to the job, and to Lincoln’s eternal discredit that he didn’t listen.” Burnside hurled the entire Union army uphill at entrenched Confederates waiting for it at Fredericksburg, Virginia. The result: 12,653 men were mowed down. He was then bounced from one second-tier command to another for the remainder of the war. The general was in Washington when Lee surrendered and decided to celebrate the war’s end by seeing a play. You guessed it: He was sitting directly below Lincoln’s box in Ford’s Theatre when John Wilkes Booth crept inside it. In fact, the president was looking down at the time, and Burnside was among the last faces Lincoln ever saw. Surprisingly after his unbroken string of failure, Burnside returned to Rhode Island with his popularity intact. He was elected governor, helped found the National Rifle Association, and capped it off by winning election to the U.S. Senate. He died of a heart attack in 1881 at age 57. Burnside was unlucky one last time. Famous for the distinctive whiskers worn on his cheeks, people called the style “burnsides.” But he was denied his claim to fame. Somehow, the name was inverted: You and I know them as “sideburns.” “If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all.” In Ambrose Burnside’s case, truer words were never sung.

Oregon State researchers identify potential new means of slowing neurodegenerative diseases By Steve Lundeberg Guest Writer

Oregon State University scientists have discovered a new class of potential drug targets for people suffering from neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s disease. The possible targets are oxidized proteins, and researchers in the OSU College of Science are now in pursuit of the best way to attack them. A drug target is any molecule critical to the process a disease follows, meaning its disruption can prevent or slow illness progression. Findings were published in Redox Biology. Neurodegenerative diseases happen because nerve cells lose function over time and ultimately perish. The diseases affect millions of people worldwide, and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are the most common ones, according to the National Institutes of Health. The Alzheimer’s Disease Association estimates more than 6 million Americans suffer from that condition, and another 1 million have Parkinson’s, according to the Parkinson’s Foundation. Any individual’s risk of developing a neurological disease increases with age, which means that with people living longer, a growing number of cases is likely coming over the next

Maca Franco, assistant professor of biochemistry and biophysics, has worked to find potential drug targets for people suffering from neurodegenerative disorders. few decades, the NIH says. Maca Franco, assistant professor of biochemistry and biophysics, explains that with medical conditions involving inflammation, including neurogenerative disorders, diseased cells produce peroxynitrite – the most powerful oxidant a cell can make. An oxidant, also referred to as an oxidizing agent or oxidizer, is anything able to oxidize other substances – i.e., take electrons from them in chemical reactions.

Oxidative stress brought on by inflammation results in the production of oxidants and free radicals that can damage cellular molecules such as DNA, lipids and proteins and cause a range of health problems. Franco and collaborators at Oregon State, the University of Central Florida and Rollins College found that when peroxynitrite oxidizes Hsp90 – short for heat shock protein 90 – it triggers the activation of signals inside of the cells that lead them to

die by “suicide” in a process called apoptosis, Franco said. “We had earlier found that oxidation of specific molecules by peroxynitrite leads to the death of motor neurons, the cells that carry signals from the brain to the muscles to coordinate muscle movement,” said OSU’s Maria Clara Franco. “Now we know that the oxidation of different parts of Hsp90 can elicit different toxic functions in the protein.” The normal function of

Hsp90 is to support healthy cellular processes, but oxidation can have profound effects on the three-dimensional structure of a protein such as Hsp90, altering its function, Franco said. “By understanding the ways that oxidation modifies the Hsp90 structure, and how the oxidized protein works in the cells, we can look for drugs that bind to the modified structure of Hsp90 and stop its toxic function without affecting the activity of normal

Hsp90 in healthy tissues,” she said. “That means such drugs should have minimal to no side effects.” Oregon State undergraduate student Asra Noor helped Franco lead the study along with Megan Jandy and Pascal Nelson, researchers at the University of Central Florida. Collaborators also included Carrie Marean-Reardon, Ryan Mehl and Alvaro Estevez of OSU. The National Institutes of Health supported the research.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren WOMAN ANXIOUS TO AVOID MAKING THE SAME MISTAKES DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Aaron,” and I have been together almost 10 years. We are both divorced from narcissistic spouses. We have discussed a future together and are working toward it. It’s taking so long because Aaron’s children are quite a bit younger than mine. (I’m an empty nester; his kids are just going into their teens.) I am also working on getting my career established. We get along well and seem compatible in every way, but one thing bothers me: Aaron can be passive-aggressive. It isn’t often and it generally isn’t just over petty stuff, but when it happens it is very hurtful. I’ve been going to counseling to resolve some issues from my childhood and first marriage, and recently realized I have some toxic traits I need to work on and heal. Unfortunately, some of that toxicity has spilled into my relationship with Aaron and hurt him. When it happens, he reacts passive-aggressively for a bit, then things seem to go back to normal. What can I do to get over the hurt I feel when he acts this way? I don’t want to repay hurt for hurt. I want to break the cycle. -- HEALING IN THE MIDWEST DEAR HEALING: If your “toxicity” is what causes Aaron to react with what you interpret as passive-aggression, he could simply be nursing his wounds. Talk with your therapist about including Aaron in some of your sessions. If the therapist agrees, tell Aaron you think your relationship could be improved if he’s willing to go with you. If the therapist does NOT agree to the “joint” sessions, it might be worth your while to discuss couples counseling with another therapist.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been seeing a married man for more than 30 years. Everything was fine between us until recently. I have begun to suspect one of my female neighbors is seeing him as well. I’m contemplating getting in touch with his wife and my neighbor’s husband and telling them about my suspicions. I need to know what to do so this relationship with the neighbor will stop. I know by telling on him, I’ll lose him, but if the neighbor is after him because of his money, I don’t want his wife thinking I’m the one taking it from him. What should I do? -- NERVOUS IN TEXAS DEAR NERVOUS: Despite the odds, you have been fortunate in having had a drama-free affair for 30 years. Because you have no proof that your lover is involved with someone else, it would cause less damage to everyone if you shared your suspicions with HIM. I guarantee that if you reveal your three-decade affair to his wife, you can kiss this romance goodbye. If the neighbor couple finds out you accused her, you will make enemies -- particularly if your suspicions are not true. I find it ironic that after helping your lover cheat for decades, you are now angry at him for cheating. I see nothing to be gained by creating a scandal to save your injured pride. --------------------------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Marshfield boys top Marist Catholic in thriller By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COOS BAY — Outplayed for the first half and trailing by as many as seven points in the second, Marshfield’s boys basketball team found a way to win against visiting Marist Catholic on Friday night in a key Sky-Em League game. “I’m proud of the kids for gutting it out,” Marshfield coach Casey McCord said after the Pirates’ 52-49 win over the Spartans. Marshfield completed a season sweep of Marist Catholic and kept alive hopes of sharing the league title with Junction City, which edged Marshfield in their meeting in Coos Bay. The Tigers and Pirates finish the regular season against each other in Junction City on Friday, following Marshfield’s Tuesday game against Elmira and Thursday’s make-up game at Siuslaw. Tuesday’s contest, the final regular-season home game, will be senior night, meaning the entire Marshfield roster will be recognized since all the players are seniors. Marshfield needed a big shot and a big defensive play to tip the Spartans in a topsy-turvy second half that saw Marist Catholic lead 35-28 late in the third quarter and Marshfield lead 46-39 with less than three minutes to go. The Spartans caught up with a 7-0 run and then went in front by two points on a 3-pointer with just under a minute remaining on

the clock. But Mason Ainsworth hit a 3-pointer from the wing to put the Pirates back in front and then Pierce Davidson blocked a shot by the Spartans at the other end and Ainsworth hit two free throws for the final margin. “I just kind of reacted in the moment,” Davidson said of the late block. “One of my teammates was beaten and I just slid over and helped him and I was in the right position for the block.” Davidson and Dom Montiel also played a huge role on offense in the first three quarters, while Ainsworth was either struggling with his shot or on the bench in foul trouble. Montiel had 10 of his 13 points in the first three quarters and Davidson scored all 12 of his over the same span. Ainsworth led the Pirates with 21, including 15 in the fourth. At halftime, he had two points and three fouls. But he came up big in the clutch, with a series of drives to the hoop and the big 3-pointer, one of two he hit in the final eight minutes. “It was disappointing to watch them hit that 3,” McCord said of the shot that gave the Spartans their final lead. “(Then) Mason hit a huge shot at a big time. That’s been twice that’s happened this year against Marist.” Marshfield won the first meeting in Eugene 61-56. The Pirates led most of that game, but the Spartans hit a couple of late 3-pointers, including one to give

Marshfield’s Pierce Davidson saors to the basket for two points during the Pirates thrilling win over Marist Catholic. Marist Catholic a late lead before Ainsworth hit a big shot to tie that game and help the Pirates regain control. This time, Marshfield had to come from behind after trailing by five at halftime. “We could have obviously played a lot better,” Davidson said. “(In the second half), we kind of just decided we’ve got to get this win.

“We worked together better in the second half and everyone crashed the boards a lot better.” That’s one thing that delighted McCord. “We rebounded the ball a lot better,” he said, adding that the Pirates did a good job limiting second-chance opportunities by the Spartans. Marshfield improved to 18-4 overall and kept alive the hopes

of a share of the league title, which would require beating a Junction City squad that has won 14 games in a row. “We’re going to need to play very well to beat Junction City,” McCord said. Marist Catholic fell to 3-4 in league play. Lucas Franssen had three of the Spartans’ seven 3-pointers and a team-high 14 points.

Improving Pirates fall to Spartans in girls contest By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COOS BAY — Marshfield’s girls basketball team was a lot better in its second try against Marist Catholic — at least in some ways. But the Pirates came up short against the Spartans again, falling 52-42 on Friday night at the Pirate Palace. For Marist Catholic, the win probably means second place in the final Sky-Em standings. The teams both entered the night 5-2 in league play, but the Spartans already played their second game against league-leading Junction City, the team Marshfield finishes the regular season against on Friday. In the first meeting, at Eugene, Marshfield struggled with the Spartans’ pressure defense. This time the Pirates handled the defense better, but didn’t rebound well or get out on Marist Catholic’s shooters. The Spartans hit seven 3-pointers, including two late in the game after the Pirates pulled within six points. “They played really hard,” Marshfield coach Doug Miles said. “We just had too many defensive breakdowns and they made too many wide-open threes.” Then, there was the other

issue. “We’ve never been out-rebounded that bad,” Miles said. But Marshfield did a lot of good things on offense. “We did a good job using our posts tonight,” Miles said, adding that both freshman Tatum Montiel and sophomore Paige Macduff, who didn’t play last year, “are getting a lot better.” Montiel had nine points and Macduff eight. Charlie Dea led the Pirates with 14 points, including a trio of 3-pointers. Despite the loss, Dea is excited with the potential of the Pirates. “I think we’re making progress,” she said, adding that the skill sets of the younger players are improving. “I’m proud of them. I’m excited to play with them.” Though the Pirates have lost twice to Marist Catholic and also to Junction City in league play, they are 15-7 overall and most likely will be in the Class 4A play-in round after finishing the regular season with their home final against Elmira on Tuesday and their game at Junction City, meaning the Pirates still have hopes of reaching the Class 4A playoffs and possibly the state tournament. “We have big games still coming up,” Dea said.

COQUILLE — Coquille girls basketball coach Marty Stallard often marvels at how far his squad has come since practice started in November. A pair of convincing wins Wednesday and Friday gave the Red Devils a share of the league title with Bandon and guaranteed a spot in the upcoming Class 2A playoffs. Coquille and Bandon will play a game Saturday at Reedsport to determine which will be the league’s No. 1 seed for the playoffs, a prize that also comes with a home game for a spot in the state tournament at Pendleton. Bandon might host in the playoffs even if the Tigers fall to Coquille, given their spot at No. 5 in the Class 2A power rankings after this weekend’s games. The Red Devils pulled away from a dangerous Gold Beach squad to win 51-32 on Wednesday and then topped Toledo 4926 on Friday to finish league play 9-1 and improve to 16-3 overall. “From where we started, jeesh,” Stallard said following Wednesday’s win. “These kids worked harder than heck in practice. They’ve put in the hours. They’ve really bought into what we are doing.” Coquille led 16-11 through one quarter against Gold Beach, but then surged ahead with a combination of transition offense and tough defense. Trinidy Blanton was the chief beneficiary of the transition offense, routinely racing down the floor to get into good position for shots near the hoop on the way to scoring 15 points. “I thought Trinidy had her best game yet,” Stallard said. Holli Vigue also had 15 points and Hailey Combie added 15. The defense, meanwhile, included slowing dynamic Gold Beach senior Kailina Hamilton. Hamilton still finished with 12 points, but had to work for all of them, especially after the

Coquille’s Trinidy Blanton goes to the hoop for two points during the Red Devils’ win over Gold Beach. Red Devils switch its defense to a man-to-man attack with Jaylyn Rayevich and Taylor Kelner taking turns with the duty of guarding Hamilton. “Taylor did a great job, so did Jaylyn,” Stallard said. “They’ve both gotten better on the defensive end. “We’ve gotten better everywhere on defense.” Stallard has never been fond of all the emotions that go with senior night — Combie, Rayevich, Kyndall Leep and Bailey Higgins were recognized for their final regular-season home game. “I haven’t been that nervous in a long time,” Stallard said. “I wanted these kids to win so bad.” Vigue, Coquille’s freshman

point guard, had a big part in helping make sure those seniors won their home finale. “Holli is really gifted,” Stallard said. “She’s not selfish.” Stallard said in all his years coaching girls or boys basketball — spanning three decades — he’s never had a player record a triple double until Vigue did it against Waldport a few weeks back. She almost did it again earlier in the weekend in the second meeting with the Irish, coming up an assist short of the feat. In Friday’s win against Toledo, Vigue had another big night with 14 points. Combie led the way with 17 and Rayevich hit a pair of 3-pointers to match Kelner with six points.

KDUN From A1

Delilah said major market radio is “pretty much a game between the big players, but in smaller markets, Reedsport, Florence and Brookings, it is the voice of the town, the voice of the community and I think it is most important now more than ever,” she said. Delilah said her message to KDUN listeners is simple. “The town needs a voice,” she said. “A way to connect with each other.” Describing the pivotal point when she decided to purchase the station, Delilah said one of her Reedsport friends outlined frustration with not being able to find out accurate and timely information to help her elderly parents navigate safely through the COVID pandemic. “With that fresh in my mind, with people frustrated with not

being able to get good information, and then the opportunity presented itself to buy the radio station, I just knew it was the right thing to do,” she said. Delilah said the radio station helps connect small town communities. “They need to have a voice,” she said. “They need to know what’s going on with the city council. They need to know what’s going on with the mayor. They need to know if the road is going to be widened again. They need to know if schools are canceled and their kids are not going to school because of COVID, or because of a flood. They need to know this information. There was no way for that information to be presented before we put the station back on the air.” Even though Delilah broadcasts her national radio show from her home in Washington state, she said she will frequently return to the Reedsport station. “I have a motor home and I

have a farm in Sutherlin, so I spend a lot of time there, so I can easily come over,” she said. “I love it here.” Delilah added that local programming on the station will be key. “I didn’t buy the radio station for my syndicated show, I brought the station for its local content,” she said. “I will be happy to bump my show off the air when we are able to broadcast the local high school basketball and football games.” Classroom radio home KDUN is now located at Delilah’s former junior high school in Reedsport. “The junior high has been closed for about 20 years and is now owned by a couple that are artists and they have turned the building into an artist school, so they are leasing my old classroom to us and I have built the radio station in that room,” she said. “So, it is a full circle experience for me.” Pay back

Delilah said she is incredibility grateful the Kenegys provided her with her first radio job. “My life was changed forever because of that, and I just want to pay it forward,” she said. “I want to give young people the opportunity to learn this media and give the town the opportunity to have communication. I can’t pay the Kenegys back for what they did for me, but I can pay it forward. I am blessed to be able to reconnect with my history, my past and to provide an opportunity for the people to connect through the airwaves.” KDUN also is carried on the iHeart network, allowing anyone anywhere to listen through a streaming broadcast platform. “You can listen 24/7 and feel like you are back home again,” she said. KDUN engineer Bob Larson said the radio station had been off the air for approximately a year before Delilah purchased it. “If it had continued to be off the air any longer, it would

from the attorney, though. Milliron explained during the 1960s, many communities adjusted camping ordinances to include sleeping in vehicle. North Bend was one that never made that change. North Bend has never defined camping as sleeping in a vehicle,” the city administrator said. “He said that’s a great thing. Once you have defined camping as sleeping in a vehicle, you can never go back. He cautioned us to wait until some of these model ordinances are coming out. He said the cleanest way to treat those is through the nuisance abatement. He cautioned us to define camping in a way that omits sleeping in a vehicle. He said you already have existing ordinances in place and abandoned vehicles is a perfect example.” Milliron explained that while waiting for the League of Cities to create sample ordinances, the city can deal with homeless camping issues by coming up with standards in nuisance ordinances that be enforced equally. One example, is a parking ordinance, that can limit how

what staff believes should happen next. 1 - Have city attorney work with outside counsel to refine codes to include developing good due process plan. 2- Determine what streets people can rest on in light of Martin vs. Boise. 3 - Wait for the model ordinances from the League of Cities before taking action. “Based on feedback from the council and overwhelming feedback from the public, we were hoping we would find a specific parking lot or piece of property we could put the homeless,” Milliron said. “We were warned, you could do that, but you will get sued. In your best interest, stick to your public streets. Regulate in the time being with your current ordinances.” Milliron said the League of Cities has a difficult task creating model ordinances because the issue is different from city to city. “Here in North Bend, 95% of our problems have been in RVs, so that’s where we’ve been focused,” he said. “You go to Portland or Eugene, they have tent camps, so they’ve been focusing on that.” “I appreciate that staff took the time to get into the weeds,” Noordhoff said. “We will have a better final product. I think it will benefit us in the end.” “I’m glad we didn’t get down the path too far and we can reposition ourselves,” Milliron added.

long and where vehicles can park. Coos Bay Police Chief Chris Chapanar told the North Bend council the ordinance his city has passed is working well. “We recently implemented our camping ordinance that continued to allow what’s already being allowed under state law, that’s comping in public places,” Chapanar said. “That allowed us to regulate where homeless people tend to camp under time, place and manner. You have to make sure it’s objectively reasonable to time, place and manner when you’re making your regulations. It allows the city to regulate those locations and also put a time frame on when that is allowed to take place and when it’s not.” Chapanar said Coos Bay has had little problems with the ordinance since it went into effect. “It’s working very well. It’s working well for not only the community, but also working well for the homeless,” Chapanar said. “They seem to know where they can camp lawfully and where they cannot. We have a community resource officer who is meeting with these people daily. I believe it’s been a real positive. Without it, there was just no order to what was occurring in our city.” After meeting with the attorney, Milliron said the staff recommendation to the city council has changed. He said there were three elements to

interesting month and a half.” In Coos County, the case count appears to be dropping with active cases cut almost in half over the last few weeks. “I think our numbers have indicated we are moving in the right direction,” Gleason said. “With the increase in at-home tests, we don’t have an accurate number. With only one hospital reporting hospitalizations, we don’t have an accurate number. We’re either close to the peak or at the peak based on modeling. We’re headed in the right direction.” While Gleason said he hates to be the bearer of bad news, he warns COVID is not going away no matter how badly anyone wants it to. “Nobody wants this to be over more than we do,” he said. “We would like it to be over, but we want people to be safe.”

Basketball: Bandon squads each share Sunset crown The World

Bandon’s boys and girls basketball teams both are Sunset Conference champions, but both with shared titles. Each team clinched a share of the title with a win at home over Gold Beach on Saturday, with the boys completing their feat in overtime. Bandon’s girls matched Coquille at 9-1 in the final league standings by beating the Panthers 58-35. “I’m super stoked for my girls,” coach Jordan Sammons said, noting the Tigers now have won three straight league titles, including the shared title this winter. “It is a testament to their hard work and dedication year-round,” he said.

The Tigers fell to the Boomers 43-31 on Wednesday, when only Owen Brown scored in double figures for Bandon, finishing with 10 points. Gunner Rothenberger had 20 points for the Boomers, who lost three straight in the first half of the season on the road, at Bandon, Gold Beach and Coquille, before winning all their games in the second half of the season. While Bandon was losing at Toledo, Gold Beach was winning at Coquille 55-49 in a game that came down to the final minute, when the Red Devils missed a shot inside to take the lead and the Panthers pulled away by hitting free throws. Gianni Altman had 22 points and Jake Westerman 14 for the Panthers in the win. Dean Tucker had 18 points and Hayden Gederos 13 for Coquille, which ultimately finished fourth in the league standings when it lost at Toledo 5140 on Friday in its finale. “That’s a good team,” Coquille coach Willy Layton said. “(Gianni) is a great player. “We played our hearts out. They made more shots than we did.” Gold Beach would have won the title outright by beating Bandon on Saturday, but fell 56-53 in overtime. Because both teams

have two losses, each finishing 10-2, the league playoffs will be in effect, starting with rematches Monday night (results weren’t available by press time). Gold Beach and Bandon were to play at Myrtle Point to determine the top seed for the league playoffs, the winner also guaranteeing a state playoff berth. Coquille, meanwhile, was set to travel to third-place Toledo in an elimination game. On Wednesday, the loser of the Gold Beach-Bandon rematch faces the winner of the Toledo-Coquille game and the winner of that contest qualifies for the playoffs and advances to a Friday game against the Gold Beach-Bandon winner to determine the league’s top seed for the state playoffs. GIRLS EAGLE POINT 32, NORTH BEND 17: The Bulldogs suffered a damaging loss for their playoff hopes when they fell at home to the Eagles on Friday. North Bend coach Mike Forrester took the blame for the setback. “We were down 15-4 at half and just never figured it out,” he said. “I couldn’t figure out anything to do to get our kids better shots. This one’s on me.” North Bend fell to 5-7 in league and now will need to knock off some of
