Apprenticeship program trains coastal electricians

BY WILL LOHRE Country Media

There are few things as ingrained in our society as electricity, and because of that, learning the trade of being an electrician is a very in-demand skill set.

Many people may not be aware that there are programs on the coast that can give people all the tools they need to enter this lucrative and valuable trade. The Paciﬁc Inside Electrical Apprenticeship program based out of North Bend, Newport and Coos Bay has been training electricians on the coast for decades.

The program is managed by Pacific Inside Electrical JATC. JATC is an acronym that stands for Joint Apprenticeship Training Committee. According to their website, Pacific Inside Electrical JATC is jointly operated by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Union 932 and the Oregon Pacific-Cascade Chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA). The committee is comprised of equal numbers of members from labor and management, dedicated to providing the most comprehensive and high-quality apprenticeship training program on the Oregon Coast.

Niq Brening, training director for Paciﬁc Inside Electrical JATC,

gave some of the reasons the program may be appealing for those entering the ﬁeld.

"I think for the type of people that are interested in a trade like electrical, you're going to get a great sense of gratiﬁcation, as far as, like, at the end of your workday, you will feel satisﬁed that you're accomplishing something," Brening said. "As far as wage, it's an excellent wage not just for our area but in general. It's a competitive, family-wage job. You come out of it with no college debt or anything. So, it's an excellent alternative for someone who's not really interested in college, or it's just not for them."

Three apprenticeship programs are offered. Like many other trades, the Paciﬁc Inside Electrical Apprenticeship program allows people to work and train simultaneously. The most popular is their "Inside Program."

"The inside program is the one that most people apply for because the licensing gives them the most broad ability to ﬁnd work, in that they can work on most electrical systems," Brening said. "So that one, that's a four-year apprenticeship program, and that consists of 8,000 on-the-job hours and 900 classroom hours. During the apprenticeship, you're paid during your work. So, it's not like an internship; you're actually paid. The

schooling is two nights a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays."

The second program they offer is a 2-year, 4,000-on-the-job hour "residential only" program that allows people to work only on very small commercial and residential house projects. The ﬁnal program is a 3-year, 6,000-on-the-job hour "technical" program, which enables graduates to work on limited energy projects like telecommunications and ﬁber optics. The on-the-job and classroom training combines hands-on experience and by-the-book know-how.

"Once you complete our program, you are fully equipped with all the knowledge you'll need become an electrician; you are an electrician when you turn out from our programs," Brening said. "It's a national based curriculum. So, we follow the same guidelines that an apprenticeship in, say, New York or California. So, it's nationally accredited."

The inside program is the most popular because it encompasses all the skills an electrician could need and includes the skills from the other programs. For those interested in applying, Brening said that the technical and residential programs tend to draw fewer applications, meaning the chance of being accepted is higher. The inside program averages about 100 applicants, typically accepting 10

people yearly.

Paciﬁc Inside Electrical JATC has a satellite classroom in Newport, a classroom in Coos Bay, and its main headquarters in North Bend. They are hoping to get another satellite classroom in the Brookings or Gold Beach area. The two training facilities in Coos Bay and Newport serve as hubs for apprenticeship classes and continuing education courses for licensed Oregon electricians to maintain their licensing requirements.

According to Brening, the apprenticeship program has been around since the early 1960s.

"Our jurisdiction actually goes from the California border all the way to the north end of Lincoln County, so it's a pretty narrow strip of land, but it covers a long section of the Oregon coast," Brening said. "It only goes inland not much further than Myrtle Point, Powers area."

The program is open to all applicants. To ﬁnd more information, visit https://www.paciﬁcjatc.com. Brening encouraged all people interested in applying to apply.

"We encourage any and all applicants: male, female, minority, veterans. We have veteran programs for direct entry," Brening said. "We would like to see more female and minority applicants get involved in this; it's an industry that's not as diversiﬁed as it should be."

CHARLES HURBIS For The World

Long, long ago, medicine was a true art, a calling, always enticing “the best and the brightest”. Doctors and hospitals worked cordially together and there was little medical interspecialty competition. There used to be cohesiveness in medicine, but things change. Now there seems to be an underlying friction between doctors and hospitals, and divisions within doctor groups. This animosity has been evolving for quite a while. As with many breakdowns it comes down to differing politics, an inability to exercise any ﬂexibility, and in almost all cases, outside threats to the bottom line. At the root of this issue is likely the loss of the captain. A cruise liner which has no one at the helm is not going to track a very steady course to its destination if it gets anywhere at all. Doctors used to manage medicine. More and more though, many decisions are being made by insurance companies, the government and hospital corporations, all groups with interests more diverse than just caring for the patient. With the current evolution in medicine, your doctor has had to share the helm to these groups. And with too many groups vying for the position of captain discord was bound to evolve.

Portland State University surveying the Coos Bay area

BY WILL LOHRE Country Media

Portland State University will be conducting a survey in the Coos Bay area as part of a research project to understand community members' trust in institutions that carry out ﬂood mitigation efforts.

According to an article about the project on PSU's website, "The study will

combine community surveys in Tillamook and Coos Bay, focus groups and game-theory-based experiments to measure how trust in institutions (from federal to local) affects decision-making related to the acceptance of proposed projects and policies intended to mitigate coastal ﬂooding and other factors."

Coos Bay has been chosen as one of the

areas of study due to its coastal location and because it is a community that may be affected by climate-change-related sea-level rise. Researchers will distribute the survey to 1,000 households in the county in the form of a postcard. People who respond have a chance at winning $100.

"Once the data is analyzed, we will send the

results to land managers in order for them to make better decisions in the ﬂood mitigation process," Researcher Joe Riedl said. The study will help provide data on individual community members' trust in the federal, tribal, state, and local agencies that facilitate ﬂood mitigation measures. With that data, researchers hope to understand what needs there are

and potential solutions and give insight into how other similar communities may feel.

"Keep an eye out for a postcard in the mail from Portland State University which is conducting a survey in the area," Riedl said. "You may have been randomly selected to participate in our ﬂood survey. You could win $100 by participating!"

Additionally, it seems our society is losing its respect for authority, and this is not just an issue with medicine. Growing up, I don’t ever recall referring to a teacher or a friend’s parents by their first names. But that is where society has gone, it’s the new standard. Everyone is now considered equal and deserves an equal voice. But, should the playing field of life be level? Probably not. Respect is something that needs to be earned, either through aging with valuable real-world experience or because of life achievement. Seniority divisions in society are not only necessary, they are healthy. The same is true in medicine, we no longer have doctors, nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants or nurses……..they have all been grouped as “providers”. There isn’t a word that bothers me more than this designation. After years of extensive training it seems your health care professional gets the same designation used by only one other profession on the planet, one that has nothing to do with healthcare. How did this happen? The medical cruise ship is well off course and badly needs its captain back, unfortunately the mutiny is still raging. Another area which has changed medicine is the legal profession bringing litigation risk. In medicine, as in all parts of life, errors can be made. In the perfect world the legal system would be able to separate out mishaps which may reasonably occur while delivering appropriate care from those which are unacceptable and therefore compensable. My father used to say, a good legal system is society’s watchdog, allowing for checks and balances in all aspects of life. Problems occur when the system is abused for profit, and with the potential for substantial malpractice settlements, abuse was inevitable. A few decades back, when malpractice mania was in full swing, doctor’s insurance rates skyrocketed because of the huge

Pirates host Molalla in Class 4A girls playoffs Friday

Marshfield’s girls basketball team will face off against Molalla on Friday night with a spot in the Class 4A state tournament on the line.

The Pirates, who are the No. 4 seed for the playoffs, will host the 8:30 p.m. game at the end of a long day at Pirate Palace, following the semifinal games for the Class 3A state tournament.

Marshfield had a bye through the play-in round of the playoffs by virtue of its high ranking. Molalla, The No. 13 seed, tied for fourth in the tough Tri-Valley Conference and won a play-in game at Pendleton 54-43 on Monday night to earn its spot in the final 16. The Indians are

13-9 on the season, but lost four of their final five league games before beating Pendleton. The league also includes No. 2 Gladstone, which shared the regular-season title with Madras, which swept its two games against Molalla. Marshfield also faced Madras early in the year, in the White Buffaloes’ home tournament, and that 57-22 win by Madras preceded a big reversal in the trajectory of the Pirates’ season.

Marshfield was 1-2 following that loss, but finished the season 17-7 and shared the Sky-Em title with Marist Catholic. Along the way, the Pirates also became the only Class 4A team to beat top-

ranked Baker, during the Stayton tournament. The Pirates won 12 of their last 13 regular-season games before losing to Marist in the seeding game for the Sky-Em League and losing a non-league game against No. 3 Astoria on a neutral court in Eugene. If Marshfield beats Molalla on Friday night, the Pirates will have to wait a day to find out their opponent in the quarterfinals of the state tournament at Forest Grove. The Marshfield-Molalla winner plays the winner of a Saturday game between Scappoose and No. 5 Henley in Klamath Falls. Marshfield beat Henley 41-37 in

the Sky-Em/Skyline crossover in Junction City. The rest of the Class 4A playoffs includes No. 1 Baker hosting Klamath Union, with the winner facing either Madras or No. 8 Cascade in the quarterfinals; Astoria hosting Mazama, with the winner facing either Crook County or No. 6 Cascade; and Philomath visiting No. 7 Marist Catholic, with the winner facing Junction City or Gladstone. The Scappoose-Henley and Mazama-Astoria games both are Saturday, with the Baker game also tipping off late Friday night because the Bulldogs host the Class 1A state tournament.

The Class 4A tournament will be played entirely at Forest Grove High School this year (it has been jointly hosted by Forest Grove and Pacific University in most recent years) and the girls will play the quarterfinal matchups in the school’s older gym.

In the Class 4A boys playoffs, which are on Saturday, Hidden Valley visits No. 1 Philomath, Stayton is at No. 8 Crook County, Astoria is at No. 5 Henley, Madras visits No. 4 Baker, The Dalles is at No. 3 Cascade (the defending champions), Marist Catholic visits No. 6 Seaside, Gladstone is at No. 7 North Marion and No. 2 Junction City hosts La Grande

Corbett eliminates Coquille from playoffs

The Coquille girls saw their run in the Class 3A playoffs come to an end Monday in a loss at Corbett, the top team in the coaches poll.

Corbett is ranked third by OSAA in terms of the state tournament and was scheduled to face defending champion Nyssa in the quarterfinals at North Bend High School on Thursday (results were not available).

The Cardinals overwhelmed the Red Devils 65-27 behind sisters Ally and Lilly Schimel, the grand-

daughters of former Portland Trail Blazers player Larry Steele.

While Coquille moved up to Class 3A this year, Corbett dropped down from Class 4A. Last year, the Cardinals reached the state championship game in that classification.

Coquille, which featured just one player older than a sophomore (senior Trinidy Blanton), reached 20 wins for the season, including a 59-44 win over Horizon Christian in the first round of the playoffs.

Coquille’s

Coquille had one boy and one girl receive first-team all-league honors in voting by the Far West League’s basketball coaches.

Both Coquille teams finished second in the 11-school league’s north division and advanced to the Class 3A playoffs.

BOYS

MADRAS 64, NORTH BEND 50:

The White Buffaloes ended North Bend’s season in the Class 4A play-in round, beating the visiting Bulldogs on Monday. Madras advanced to the 16-team bracket and a game Saturday at Baker. North Bend was unable to overcome a big halftime deficit and saw its season come to an end after a

strong finish in the Sky-Em League seeding round after sharing third place in the league standings with Marshfield and Cottage Grove. The Bulldogs beat the Pirates and then the Lions on neutral courts to secure their spot in the play-in round.

North Bend finished 10-14 in its first season under Jasper Sawyer.

LA GRANDE 60, MARSHFIELD 46:

The Pirates fell on the road in

the play-in round on Monday. Marshfield stuck with the Tigers for much of the contest before La Grande pulled away to earn a spot in the round of 16 at Sky-Em League champion and No. 2 Junction City on Saturday. Marshfield finished the year 1115 in Jesse Ainsworth’s first year back as head coach. The Pirates started the season with an entirely new varsity roster after graduating an all-senior squad last winter.

Layton, Vigue earn all-league honors

named to the first team for the boys.

The player of the year was Drew Hall of Cascade Christian and he was joined on the first team by teammates Jaren Fronckowiak and Peyton Maurer after they helped lead the Challengers to the league title. Also on the

first team were Jason Styles of Douglas, Jace Page of South Umpqua, Josh Serna of Brookings-Harbor and Kayden Walker and Noah Freisen of St. Mary’s.

Brookings-Harbor’s Brandon Hodges was named coach of the year after the Bruins started the season on a long losing streak

and finished as one of the league’s hottest programs, advancing to the league playoffs as the No. 3 squad out of the south, ultimately seeing the season end with a loss at Coquille.

Coquille senior Hayden GeDeros was on the second team and senior Dean Tucker was an honorable mention

pick.

For the girls, Coquille sophomore Holli Vigue was a first-team pick. Senior Trinidy Blanton was on the second team and freshman Lexi Lucatero was an honorable-mention selection.

League champion

Sutherlin had both the player and coach of the year

— Micah Wicks and Josh Grotting.

The rest of the first team included Sutherlin’s Ava Gill and Madison Wagner, Lakeview’s Kenna Stratton and Tyler McNeely, Kierra Bennett of Douglas, Brookings-Harbor’s Ashlynn Schofield and Cascade Christian’s Jordynn Jones.

Opinion: A Confused and Cautious Supreme Court in Section 230 Case

By MICHAEL MCGRADY InsideSources.com

The parties in Gonzalez v. Google, a Supreme Court case, made their oral arguments on Feb. 21. At question is the safe-harbor liability immunization web platforms benefit from under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. Evangelists of Section 230 have long argued that any significant gutting of the politically controversial law could upend the internet.

In the format of court cases or legislation, there is also a belief among tech executives, social justice activists, civil libertarians and defenders of the First Amendment that the law is necessary for encouraging viewpoint diversity and the rapid proliferation of the

digital economy.

Nohemi Gonzalez was a college student on foreign exchange in France, where she was gunned down by extremists of the Islamic State who perpetrated the 2015 Paris terror attacks. Her family now claims that Google-owned YouTube is partly liable for her death because the terrorist group posted terrorist propaganda, and the videos got recommended to other YouTube users.

The legal counsel for Nohemi Gonzalez’s family, University of Washington law professor Eric Schnapper, argued that Section 230 doesn’t necessarily cover recommendation algorithms. Typically, a recommendation system for a website, such as YouTube, is built on machine learning artificial intelligence that incorporates big data

collected from user behavior.

The algorithm uses that data to recommend content based on user interests. Such data includes past purchases, past viewing history, search history on Google, demographics and other factors. It just so happens that algorithms like these are used across the web to optimize user experiences.

Schnapper, however, argued that while Section 230 was created to immunize platforms from the liability of illegal content published by third-party users, it doesn’t shield those websites from recommending such content to others. This viewpoint could significantly narrow the federal statute and place more liability on web platforms.

Section 230 has been interpreted by lower courts

to immunize platforms from malicious third-party users and content broadly. Platforms, in this structure, are simply venues for publishers, not publishers themselves. In recent years, Justice Clarence Thomas has long lobbied to discuss Section 230’s safe-harbor provisions before the high court. Now that the court has done so, many justices displayed confusion and caution across ideological lines.

Justice Elena Kagan struck a chord when she said they are “not the nine greatest experts on the internet.” Kagan’s remark seemed to align with other justices unsure about the potential damage to the digital economy and several industries reliant on Section 230’s safe harbor.

Justice Brett Kavanaugh pointed to the lower ap-

Writers On the range

peals courts agreeing that web platforms — such as YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram — shouldn’t be held in legal liability if algorithms happen to surface illegal content to other users.

This is only the case assuming that algorithms created for content recommendation optimization aren’t intentionally designed to promote illegal content.

Most recommendation algorithms don’t intentionally promote an illegal post from a third-party user. That is automatically the standard operating procedure in a legal environment that encourages web platforms to self-regulate and moderate posts that are bigoted, harmful, misinformative, disinformative, or simply violate terms of use.

Virtually every web platform is affected by

the safe-harbor provisions of Section 230. But, any major reform action — even through case law and judicial review — on the statute could lead to what Kavanaugh called significant “economic dislocation.” Kavanaugh proved to be the voice of reason among the panel. He also questioned whether the high court was the correct venue to consider Section 230 reform and suggested that Congress should lead efforts to potentially amend or simply leave the current interpretation of the statute in question alone.

ABOUT THE WRITER

Michael McGrady focuses on the adult entertainment industry, harm reduction and drug legalization. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

Colorado conflicted about cutting its water use

the Rockies.

State Sen. Dylan Roberts, D-Avon, who chairs the Committee for Agriculture and Natural Resources, has a more nuanced view. He says he understands that rural communities fear a “buy and dry” scenario. Where annual leases become routine, and once-verdant fields and farms wither. He insists that any water leasing must be temporary, voluntary and well compensated.

Commission is offering a “stupid price of $150 an acre-foot.”

“Farmers like to farm; you have to pay them more than they make farming to interest them,” Kay adds. He gets around $650 per acre-foot of water growing mostly organic corn and dry beans on his 350-acre farm near the town of Hotchkiss.

By DAVE MARSTON

In Colorado, farmers must enroll in a four-state program by March 1, if they want to get paid for fallowing their fields — perhaps the best option to plump up the Colorado River’s giant reservoirs, Mead and Powell.

Not everyone is a fan, including Andy Mueller, director of the Colorado River District. He doesn’t like programs that pay farmers to stop farming. Mueller also didn’t ask for the Inflation Reduction Act’s $125 million to pay the farmers he represents. Mueller’s organization exists to keep Western Colorado’s rural water away from growing cities across

A water-leasing program called demand management was created for Colorado irrigators under former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper — it was tested, but never used. It would have allowed farmers to lease and store their water in a Lake Powell account under state control. Under Gov. Jared Polis’ administration, however, demand management was quietly shelved.

Now, this new, multi-state program for leasing agricultural water, called a “system conservation pilot program,” isn’t getting much traction.

The program was announced two and a half months ago by Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

Its major drawback, says Tom Kay, an organic farmer in western Colorado, is that the Upper Colorado River

Kay says he recently toured California’s Imperial Valley, where farmers are getting $679 an acre-foot. They sell their 200,000 acrefeet of Colorado River to the San Diego County Water Authority and consider the price reasonable. Water prices are also rising. In California last summer, when the Bureau of Reclamation was looking hard for water, large irrigation districts in the Lower Basin were asking $1,500 per acre-foot to lease their water to cities, reported Janet Wilson of California’s Desert Sun.

If farmers got more money for their water under the new pilot program, says State Sen. Roberts, Colorado “could get more participation (and) show the federal government we are doing our part.” He also says that many state legislators think California and Arizona should bear the brunt of water cuts.

Getting farmers to fallow their land could build resilience in the Colorado River Basin, says Aaron Derwingson of The Nature Conservancy. A few years ago, he worked with grower Kay and Cary Denison, formerly of

Trout Unlimited, to develop an “organic transition” program whose concept was simple: Lease two-thirds of your water for three years so pesticides and fertilizers leach off the land, then apply for organic certification. The demand management trial was largely funded by the Bureau of Reclamation.

So the question remains: Why is the Upper Colorado River Commission offering farmers so little for their irrigation water? The commission’s executive director, Chuck Cullom, explains: “$150 per acre-foot was chosen to discourage drought profiteering.”

Kay guesses that the low price was set to discourage participation. While $150 is the floor, and farmers can negotiate for more, commission representatives haven’t gone to agricultural communities to beat the drum for its program.

Kay says, “That $125 million is a lot of money, and it belongs to Upper Basin farmers.”

Meanwhile, in mid-November, 30 western cities agreed to cut “non-functional” turf grass by up to 36%, including big water guzzlers such as Utah’s Washington County, which wants to siphon more water out of Lake Powell.

What’s unclear is how much water from not watering grass stays in the river. Mueller points out that Aurora, a fast-growing Denver suburb, “is cutting water to sell more water taps. They’re building more houses.”

Kay admires Mueller’s rural leadership but thinks the way forward is clear: “Denver has a junior water right. Why isn’t it paying us in western Colorado to fallow ground, just like what Los Angeles and San Diego are doing?”

The real story

I saw a letter to the editor slamming Bob Main about his views on homelessness in Coos County. Just from reading his comments, you can tell he has not spent much time, if any, on the streets. Seeing who is out there and visible, or who is being contacted by the police. Listen to the scanner for just one day and the actual facts start to add up. You will hear about a large percentage of the homeless being contacted by the police because of traffic stops or because of criminal activity are people from other parts of Oregon or other states. As the details about these people come over the scanner from dispatch, you find out that these people almost always have active warrants from places that they have previously been. Many are even extraditable.

Why is this relevant? It is relevant because our county jail is having problems employing enough people to open up another pod of the jail. This means that everybody with local warrants and extraditable warrants will not be arrested and

have to face the charges against them. The police cite and release them because the jail won’t house them.

So, when someone wants to spew off statistics they found on Google as “facts,” they do not take into consideration the unique situation Coos County is in. Where people are coming here because they can hide from their warrants and not worry about being jailed for them. There is also the topic of homeless being bussed into Coos County. I know for a fact it is happening in one way. Umpqua hospital pays for taxi rides for their homeless to Coos Bay when they are discharged from the hospital. Just knowing that is going on is enough to say yes. Homeless are being bussed here.

Now let’s dig deeper into the drug/alcohol addicted homeless. Find out who our long term homeless are. Like the guy who stole the car from the Dodge dealership. Homeless for years upon years. They are all addicted to drugs. They are all criminals. They are choosing to live that lifestyle. Sam Adams Coos Bay

CCPC gets permit for new radio station

Coos Commons Protection Council recently announced the FCC has awarded a 36-month construction permit for a full power noncommercial educational community FM radio station. Frequency 88.1 on the FM dial that is authorized to operate at 200 watts and will cover the entire south county and parts of Coos Bay.

In keeping with the CCPC mission, the new station will focus on sustainability, social, economic, and environmental justice, pro-democracy and community. The station expects to offer curated national and regional programming, local music, develop local programs from organic gardening and farming, childcare and family and so much more.

Executive director Mary Geddry applied on behalf of CCPC more than a year ago. This is the fourth community radio station Geddry has

brought to Coos County and the ﬁrst full power station. KBOG-LP in Bandon, KRWL-LP at Winter Lakes High School and KJAJ-LP in Coos Bay.

“We are very excited to show just what a community radio station can really do. We expect to be on the air in less than six months, if all goes well,” said Geddry. “Then we hope to take applications so we can carefully select dynamic and diverse board members to help us a grow a thriving and involved community radio station.”

Coos Commons works to elevate the fundamental rights of people and their communities to clean air, water, a healthy climate and a sustainable future, a living wage and a living wage and the right of nature to thrive, ﬂourish and naturally evolve above corporate privilege and harmful industrial development.

surge in frivolous lawsuits.

That era came with a large financial and emotional toll for your doctors and hospitals. Doctors worked in constant fear of being sued. Subsequently came a time of malpractice reform which restricted malpractice suits and changed how your doctor conducted his practice.

To guard against frivolous lawsuits protective medical documentation quickly became excessive. Currently, your doctor probably spends as much time generating an office note as he does seeing you. Additionally, physicians are now more likely to order unneeded tests to protect themselves against a potential suit. Even though malpractice reform eliminated much of the lawsuit risk this aftermath persists, adding greatly to healthcare costs and taking time away from your doctor he could have spent with you.

Let’s further examine rising medical costs reviewing commercial health insurance.

First and foremost, no medical insurance plan should ever be “for profit”. All dollars collected from the patient in premiums should be applied to the care of those insured under the plan. Certainly, as with any business, plan administrators and employees should make an appropriate salary, but profit for the company from premiums shouldn’t even be a thing. If there is a profit it infers that either

dollars taken in premiums were excessive or needed care was denied (something commercial insurance plans are good at). At year end there shouldn’t be exorbitant bonuses for company executives or large residual profits intended to boost the company’s stock price. Any patient who was denied a surgery or a required drug is now subsidizing executive bonuses. In all fairness, some specialized treatments have become almost humorously expensive. Your insurance company is needed to help police those prices and negotiate better rates. Also, some plans are better and more fairly administered than others. Still, in the ideal plan, after reasonable expenses are paid, the insurer shouldn’t have a large bank balance at the end of the year. Any excesses should be rebated to the patients, used to lower future premiums or allow for additional future care. Regardless of the warm, wonderful ads these companies broadcast on your TV, your care is not their primary concern. Running a successful business needs to be, thus your concerns, even as their client, will always have to be secondary. Another layer of increased medical costs is the growing market for managed Medicare or the Medicare Advantage plans. Now about 50% of all Medicare recipients are members of these plans. Medicare is fine as it is. It does not need to be managed. It is already managed by the federal government, which in and of itself is bad enough.

For the next fiscal year, 202223, the Agency’s budgeted resources are balanced with requirements at $3,790,000. The Agency uses the funds it receives from Option 1, which includes the division-of-taxes method of calculating property taxes ($562,532 for FY22, as shown below) together with an Urban Renewal Special Levy ($342,116 for FY22) for any difference between the Agency’s maximum authority and the division-of-taxes method, to finance various urban renewal projects and activities. Total tax increment (levy) for FY22 was $904,648. Property taxes received totaled $900,009 in FY22 and are budgeted at $876,000 in FY23. Other resources budgeted are the beginning fund balance at $2,900,000 and interest at $14,000. Requirements are budgeted for personal services at $83,600, materials and services at $51,900, and capital outlay at $3,290,000. The impact of the urban renewal plan on the tax collections of other taxing districts in FY22 resulted in the following amounts:

Adding a middle group to manage your Medicare just means that you will find it harder to get what Medicare freely allows, needing to pass a second line of scrutiny before your care gets approved. There will be required pre-authorizations and potential for denial. Managed Medicare adds an insurance company’s scrutiny and restrictions to your Medicare. As with conventional insurance, these plans can only make money by bringing in more revenue than they pay out in care. Medicare Advantage plans are expected to cost the Medicare program 600 Billion dollars over the next eight years. This is over and above what Medicare already cost, likely while providing less care. The only place these plans may help is in negotiating better medication costs and perhaps reducing secondary payments (the percentage of costs not covered by Medicare). Still, you are probably far better off with an independent secondary plan, one that plays by Medicare’s rules rather than enforcing their own to generate profits.

A major contributor of excessive costs would be advanced technology. Much new technology is good, still there’s is always a tendency towards overuse. Other advances are just expensive changes and do not offer an improvement over what was already available more economically. Developing better treatments is desirable. Unreasonable costs and potential overuse of newer technology is not. There are

so many examples of this within medicine, I’ll pick on two. Lately it seems everyone with skin cancer needs to have it removed with MOHS surgery.

Micrographically Oriented Histologic Sectioning, or MOHS, is a complex, time consuming and costly process developed for consistent removal of certain types of skin cancers. MOHS was introduced decades ago, developed to treat particularly complex tumors where conventional techniques would likely fail. These included tumors which were harder to define because of a complex location, showing more aggressive growth characteristics, or had already recurred once following a prior excision. In practice, these complex cases represent perhaps only 5-10% of all skin cancers. These days though MOHS is being used for everything. Conventional surgical techniques for skin cancer removal are simpler, less time consuming, far cheaper and less stressful for the patient. They should also be successful 90% of the time. An experienced surgeon should know when to refer for MOHS. In the proper setting, MOHS is a game changing option, allowing for control of tumors previously difficult to treat successfully. The problem here is we’ve all been convinced MOHS is now the “standard of care” (the catch phrase to justify everything new and expensive) for any skin cancer, so it’s unnecessarily being used to treat even the simplest of tumors further

escalating healthcare costs.

Another highly promoted technology is the field of robotic surgery. The da Vinci company spearheaded this brilliant technology a number of years ago. In many areas this device has been a game changer, allowing da Vinci and its shareholders to be duly rewarded. It has important applications allowing certain complex surgeries to be done more safely, with less complications and reducing hospital stays. The robot also allowed the pioneering of new treatment options which weren’t previously possible with conventional techniques due to limited surgical access. Off-site surgery is also theoretically possible with this device. The problem here is, as was the case with MOHS, soon the robot becomes overly applied. Surgeries which could have been done as effectively and safely with conventional endoscopic or open techniques now are done robotically. When it comes to bringing patients to an institution, the robot has huge marketing appeal. Therefore, to stay competitive even smaller hospitals will have to purchase the device, spend money promoting it and then use it to cover its expenses.

Each surgery requires not just the multimillion-dollar robot, a six-figure annual service contract and a specialized team, but also many costly disposable surgical instruments adding an additional layer of costs to already escalating healthcare expenditures. Whether or not a hospital actually makes

money on robotic surgery seems to be a mixed bag depending on the hospital’s surgical volume and how many other hospitals in the area offer robotic surgery. Market dilution has taken away the marketing advantage. And as with any technology, the robot you have will become obsolete requiring replacement or updating. It’s the classic technology trap where the only real winner is the company.

New technology in medicine is desirable but will always create evolving costs. The more an expensive technology is used the more the market seems to demand it. Hospitals, to compete, get caught up in this medical arms race, thus their costs continue to spiral as well.

Is your doctor or hospital to blame? Absolutely not. They must use what’s new and current to remain competitive and valid. They have no choice but to adopt the latest technologies or get left behind. Tech companies are good at creating a snowballing effect. Highly priced goods support large advertising budgets which finance comprehensive ad campaigns leading to a surge in public demand leading to overutilization. The companies achieve this by convincing the public their technology should now be considered the “standard of care”, thus demanding it even in situations where it may not be. It’s unlikely any of this will change, so don’t expect to see your medical bills dropping any time soon.

Clyde Gage Hill, 73, of North Bend, passed away peacefully following a recent stroke, on February 16, 2023 in Portland. At his request, no services are planned.

Private cremation rites were held at Ocean View Memory Gardens in Coos Bay.

Clyde was born on June 28, 1949 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Bonnie Gage and Clarence McKinley. He spent most of his life in the Coos Bay Area.

Clyde met Laurie Johnston at Bay Area Hospital and they married on March 31, 2001. Clyde and Laurie made their home in Sumner at Clyde’s childhood ranch before moving to North Bend. Clyde spent many years as an emergency room nurse, ICU nurse and nurse manager at Bay Area Hospital. He was also a certiﬁed ﬂight nurse. He spent many years helping others but was proud to retire early.

Clyde enjoyed his yearly family vacations to Eagle Crest Resort and watching his grandchildren’s sporting events. Clyde and Laurie lovingly fostered many animals over the years and provided a caring home for many animals of their own. Clyde told fond memories of when he had his pilot’s license and took his kids ﬂying. He was also well known amongst local car dealers as he was always trading, buying and selling vehicles…a trait, unfortunately for his daughters – in – law, was passed to his sons. Of all the things that he was fond of, he was especially proud of his two sons, Aaron and Clark.

Clyde is survived by his wife, Laurie Hill of North Bend; sons and daughters in law, Aaron and Jessica Hill of Eugene, Clark and Deanna

Hill of Reno; stepdaughter, Vicki Rossback and her husband, Marlin of Coos Bay; and stepson,, Matt Johnston of Coos Bay; grandchildren, Meghan, Maximus, Kalee, Kaleb, Katelyn, Hannah and Colt; and two great grandchildren, Aurora and Holden.

Scot Franklin passed away in his home peacefully on Sunday evening, February 12, 2023 after a strong battle with cancer. He was 56 years old.

Scot was a phenomenal father, husband, brother, and friend. He always wanted to become a philanthropist so he could help all of his friends and loved ones. Scot went above and beyond to make sure that his priority of having a happy and healthy family was met. Scot loved ﬁshing, being around friends, listening to great music, having a good time, and meeting new

people. There was never a stranger to Scot, because he made everyone feel like a friend. Scot was more than a normal person, but rather a once in a lifetime soul. There will never be another person with as big of a heart, and with as much devotion to helping others.

Scot was the type of person to never be forgotten, and that is truer than ever after his passing. Preceded in death is his sister, LaDawn Franklin. He is survived by his wife, Veronica; sons, Aero and Stealth; mother, Ruth; brothers, Donovan and

Robert “Bob” Donald Shore

October 8, 1940 – December 6, 2022

After living a full life, Robert “Bob” Donald Shore passed away peacefully at home on December 6, 2022. His wife, Sally held his hand and whispered a prayer for him. He was born in Coquille, Oregon on October 8, 1940 to Donald and Margaret (Wallace) Shore, and was raised on the Wallace Ranch that his grandparents owned on Ross Inlet Road, east of Coos Bay. He attended Sumner Elementary School, Marshfield Jr. High School and graduated from Marshfield Senior High School in 1958.

Upon attending Oregon State University for one year in 1959, Bob enlisted in the United States Marine Corp. where he served four years in active duty and was honorably discharged as a Corporal. He spent another two years in the reserves.

When Bob returned to the Bay Area, he was employed by a local bank and later at the Cabinet Spot, owned by his brother, Terry and sisterin-law, Cheryl Shore.

In the late 1960s Bob earned his private and instrument pilot licenses and was employed by Coos Aviation and part time at Roseburg Regional Airport to fly commercially for them. Then after becoming certified in flight instructing, he was promoted to Flight Instructor for Coos Aviation. He had some unusual experiences while flying. One was that while transporting some passengers from Portland back to North Bend, the

David Francis Brunsman

David Francis Brunsman peacefully left our world on January 22, 2023. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. David was born in San Francisco, but grew up in Vernonia, Oregon. He traveled much of the world before settling in Coquille and Myrtle Point where he lived for more than 40 years. He and Kathy Phillips were married on May 1, 1983 and have two sons, Neal and Kevin.

David was always adventurous and committed to his community. He served on the planning commission

for Coos County and later in Myrtle Point; coached his son’s young team of basketball players, rode a mountain bike, played a guitar and wooden spoons with friends’ bands; collected beer t-shirts from breweries, and amassed a huge collection of model cars. He loved traveling with his family, especially camping and rafting on the Illinois River. He earned an architectural degree from the University of Oregon and designed many homes and businesses throughout Coos County. His wit and charm will be

airplane was “shot down” in a field alongside the freeway near Albany. He made an emergency landing, and upon examination, a bullet was found in the fuselage.

In the early 1970s, Bob was hired by Stalcup Trucking and Equipment Company where he worked in management and sales. He was also their company pilot. This is where he met Sally, who was employed there as well. After a time, they became “more than just acquaintances”. It was, also during this time, and since Bob still wanted to fly airplanes, that he purchased a Cessna for personal use. Sometimes he and Sally would “fly out for dinner” in a different town. He, later traded the Cessna in for a Super Cub, just for FUN!

He claimed that he could fly it under the North Bend McCullough Bridge! Sally was not fond of being a passenger in the backseat of this noisy little “trick” airplane!

Bob’s real ambition, though, was to begin his own timber operation. So, starting small, and quickly growing, he soon was able to purchase more supplies and equipment, then hire extra workers, including his stepsons, Darren and Brian Todd, who worked during weekends and school breaks. He named his new business, West Fork Timber Company. A logging and road building operation.

After a long courtship, Bob and Sally were married in 1983, and moved into their new house that they

built in a country setting surrounded by acres of trees and small hills. It is where they have lived for 40 years.

When Bob retired West Fork Timber Co., he remained in the timber industry, and worked as a timber and log buyer for several mills and timber operations and throughout Oregon. He retired from working outside of home in the middle 2000s.

Some of Bob’s interests were: flying airplanes, fishing, fly tying, hunting deer, elk and fowl. He brought a large bull elk home the day before undergoing a five-way heart bypass surgery! He, also, liked to build “things” (besides the house) that included: a boat, small boxes out of selected wood, a garage, horse barn, shop, sheds, greenhouse, chicken coop, that later was remodeled into a bunk house by him and stepgrandson, Dylan, who was raised by Bob and Sally, well house, decks, flower planters, fences, picnic tables, benches, pond, a full sized Frisbee golf course, attached garage and office, putting green made by Dylan’s father, Darren Todd, horseshoe pit and a small area known as “Bob’s Little Park’, with electricity, a water supply and a septic tank, etc. Many BBQs, hot dog and s’mores roasts were enjoyed there. According to Bob, building was “Fun Stuff!”

Bob and Sally hosted many events throughout the years that included: BBQs,

Lyle Layton Hartzell was born in Florence, Oregon on April 30, 1934, to Mildred Emma Harrington Hartzell and Lyle Layton Hartzell, Sr. on 327 Laurel Street in Florence and passed away February 12, 2023, in Florence. He attended school in the Siuslaw School District and later went on to college at Southern Oregon University and Linfield University, playing basketball and baseball. His initial desire was to be a teacher, but “The Sea” became his passion. He met his beloved wife, Arlene and returned to Florence to start a family and work on the ocean. Lyle was known to many as Ozzie or Ossie, and was a husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and a friend to countless others. He is survived by Arlene; sister, Marilyn Pogan; daughter, Gail Knabe; sons, Scott and Tristan; and his grandchildren, Cambrie, Zack, Madeleigh, Eva, Mykah, Jonathan, Caitlyn, and Emma.

Lyle was a Florence native with his ancestors being early settlers on the Siuslaw River and captaining boats along

the river. In his early days, he worked as a trapper and logger. He was on a Sause Bros. tugboat named the Klihyam, pulling a barge loaded with lumber when it ran aground on the Siuslaw River Bar on September 27, 1958. He was the last person rescued from the boat. Later, he became a successful commercial fisherman and businessman. His first commercial fishing boat was named the Gail Ann, a 32-foot wooden vessel that he fished alone on. Later, his commercial fishing boats ported out of Newport, Florence, Winchester Bay, and Coos Bay, hiring many local crews. He first partnered with his dad, Lyle, and later his son, Scott, and was one of the first commercial fishermen on the West Coast to harvest Dungeness crab. His fisheries over the years also included salmon, black cod, albacore, and shrimp. For business ventures he started with The Crab Stand on Highway 101 (now the Crab Kettle), and later went on to own restaurants in the Bay Area and establish 3 different seafood processing

plants in Oregon. He was known for his generosity, having established the Brittany Hartzell scholarship foundation, and giving to countless other charities, foundations, and churches as well as family and friends. Rarely was anyone turned down in a time of need. His humor was subtle with impeccable timing and indelible one liners. He gave everything to his employees, friends, and family. To know Ozzie was to love Ozzie. It is so hard for us to believe this mountain of a man is gone. He was so strong, enduring, and there for all of us. He was truly the most generous and thoughtful man we have ever known. Lyle was preceded in death by his treasured daughter, Brittany; sisters, Betty Lou Buss and Ardith Bernhardt; and parents. His service will be at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Florence on February 24, 2023 at 11 am. Donations in his memory can be given to the Brittany Hartzell scholarship fund managed by the Western Lane County Foundation.

and a Birthday Party for Jesus that was celebrated at the annual Christmas Eve Dinner and Gift Exchange for families. They also hosted two large Family Reunions.

Pets were a big part of Bob and Sally’s lives. They had 14 dogs, five cats, a horse and two sheep that their last dog, Border collie, Pearl, would herd freely all over the property.

When Bob could no longer maneuver very well outside without his walker, he could often be seen riding his lawnmower with a trailer attached that was filled with outdoor tools. This still enabled him to cut limbs, mow the acres of grass and work on other outside projects.

Some organizations

Bob belonged to were: Coalition of Commercial Airline Pilots Association, National Association of Flight Instructors, an OSU Fraternal Order, Elks, N.R.A, Association of Oregon Loggers, Inc., and N.R.P.

Bob leaves behind his wife, Sally; daughter, Kirstina Shore of Coos Bay, who he was very proud of for, upon graduating from college, served in the United States Navy and retired with the rank of Lieutenant Commander; his half-brothers and sister, Kirt Shore of Chicago, Illinois, Mark Shore of Concord, California and Donald Logan of Walnut Creek, California; stepbrother, Rocky Place of Coos Bay; step-sister, Peggy

Robinson of Coos Bay; step-grandchildren, Dylan “Cub” Todd of Canby, Oregon, Shane Todd of Eugene, Oregon, Nichole Todd of Eugene, Oregon, Matt Colton of Springfield, Oregon, and Maria Taylor of Early, Texas; eight great step-grandchildren; sister-inlaw, Cheryl Shore; nephew, Darin Shore; great-nephew, Tyler Shore, all of Maui, Hawaii; many step-nieces and nephews; some special people, Gary and Sarah (Dylan’s mom) Austin of Eugene, Oregon and best friend, Lee Webster of Coos

Bay, Oregon.

Preceding Bob in death were his parents; brother, Terry Shore; nephew, Corey Shore; and stepsons, Darren Todd and Brian Todd.

Donations in Bob’s memory would be appreciated to: the Coos County Humane Society or Doernbecher and Shriners Children’s Hospitals in Portland, Oregon; the American Tree Planting Assn.; or to other charities.
