Indoor mask mandate to lift March 11 ZOE GOTTLIEB Country Media

Masking indoors will no longer be a statewide requirement in Oregon as soon as March 11, reflecting a downtrend in COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations, as well as a shift from previous guidance issued by the Oregon Health Authority.

In Oregon, the OHA rules requiring masks in indoor public places and schools will lift after 11:59 p.m. on March 11. Other

state and federal requirements, such as those for health care settings, public transit, and other specialized settings, will remain in place for now, according to the OHA. State Epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger, Oregon Department of Education Director Colt Gill, and OHA Communications Officer Jonathan Modie held a briefing Monday, Feb. 28 to take questions from the media.

The OHA's announcement does not rule out the possibility

of reimposing mask mandates should a new variant arise.

According to Modie, the permanent rule will remain in place but contains a component allowing the mask mandate to be lifted or reinstated "like an on-off switch."

"I think as individuals as communities, we need to be prepared to take additional steps as the situation changes, and we face some more variants that

"I think this is an important step in response to the pandemic that we have in front of us - the virus that we have in front of us. Cases are significantly declining, there are no emerging variants of concern on the horizon, and we continue to see increases in people being up-to-date with their vaccinations."

Student exhibit takes over Coos Art Museum

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Coos Art Museum has been taken over by artwork from Southern Oregon students.

The entire downstairs is filled with the Student Biennial show, which showcases paintings, sculptures and more from students in pre-K to 12th grade. The majority of the work is from students in Coos County, but work from young artists in Douglas, Curry and other counties are also on display.

Upstairs, both exhibition halls are filled with the annual VISION Art Competition, a project co-sponsored by Southwestern Oregon Community College.

The art in the competition is from high school students, with the top three artists as chosen by judges receiving scholarships to Southwestern Oregon Community College.

More than 140 people attended the opening of the show last week, and the exhibits will remain on display through April 15. While the children's work is on display, entrance to the Coos Art Museum is free for everyone.

Leah Ruby, who took over as executive director of the museum in January, was ecstatic as she looked through the art made by the young artists.

"It's one of the best shows we do," Ruby said. "All the teachers get to be involved with the museum and the students get to see their work in a professional setting."

North Bend man talks about life in Ukraine during war

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The first time he was in a war zone, Kurt Kimble volunteered to serve as a member of the U.S. Army. He never imagined when he returned from Iraq, he would be facing war again.

But the longtime North Bend resident is facing that exact scenario as he works to protect himself and his family in Ukraine.

Kimble grew up in North Bend and graduated from North Bend High School, only leaving when he joined the Army. He returned to North Bend after he left the service and raised his family in the area. Three years ago, he was facing tragedy in his life after his wife died, and with the blessing of his son and daughter, he decided to take a job in Ukraine.

"Three years ago, I decided to come to Ukraine to help teach the Ukrainian military and police IED awareness and first aid," he said this week.

"Shortly after I arrived, I made some friends and a company asked me to come work for them."

Kimble later fell in love with a Ukrainian woman and remar-

ried, taking in her daughter as his own.

Kimble said life in Lviv, Ukraine has been mostly good, but he started feeling apprehension grow about a month ago.

"When Russia and Belarus were holding what they called exercises," Kimble said. "I'm a former military man, and when they were bringing thousands and thousands of troops to the Ukrainian border, I thought they were going to advance further into Ukraine."

In Lviv, which is in western Ukraine about four hours from the Polish border, the ongoing war was just starting to be felt as of Monday.

"We've had a couple missile strikes and lots of air raid sirens," Kimble said. "Today, we got word that Belarus is bringing up troops to the north. A lot of Russian troops came across the Belarusian border."

As word of a war began unfurling in Ukraine, Kimble planned to escape, but reality stopped those plans.

"We had planned on leaving," he said. "We were able to obtain a visa for my wife. The day the Please see UKRAINE, Page A12

time to admire the work.

"Oh that's great," she said to one painting. "I absolutely love these," she said, pointing to snowmen made by pre-K students.

"This is a show you can come see several times," Ruby said. "There's technical skills in here that are amazing."

At the VISIONS competition, high school students from many schools displayed their artwork.

Judges Pat Snyder and James Fritz looked over the art before picking first through fourth-place winners in each grade and three Best of Show winners overall.

The three Best of Show winners not only get bragging rights, but they receive tuition waivers to SWOCC thanks to the SWOCC Foundation.

“The VISION show is a

must-see," said foundation Executive Director Elise Hammer. "It is the one venue where we can gain insight into the thoughts, struggles and aspirations of our current diverse generation of high schoolage students. Guaranteed, you’ll walk away from the VISION show completely inspired.”

The judges were uniquely qualified to judge the student competition.

Snyder in a printmaker, artist and taught art for 30 years at Marshfield High School while Fritz runs the art department at SWOCC. “The VISION show is a great opportunity for me to interact with all the high school art teachers and meet their creative students," Fritz said. "Their positive energy puts a smile on my face. It’s my mission to help our art students chart a course for success in college and beyond.

It gives high school students and their families a connection to the museum and the greater world of the visual arts. It demonstrates the value that we place on the arts as part of a strong and vital community.”

As she looked over the exhibit again this week, Ruby said she was deeply impressed, even by much of the art that did not receive a prize.

"Art is something that's supposed to speak to you," Ruby said. "That's something I want the kids to remember. If they didn't win a prize, it doesn't mean

they aren't great artists and hard-working artists."

The VISION competition is held yearly while the Student Biennial Show takes place every other year.

Ruby said she expects to see many of the students with their work on display in the coming years.

"If they keep doing the work, they will be in art classes with their teachers and their teachers will suggest they enter," she said.

The Coos Art Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday an 1 to 4 p.m. Saturdays. During the student exhibits, the entry fee is waived.

The BLM manages 2.4 million acres of forests and woodlands in western Oregon. A sustainable forestry program is critical to the economies in western Oregon. Local communities rely on the jobs and timber that come from BLM forests, and the BLM is committed to providing predictable and sustainable timber harvest opportunities. Revenue generated from timber sales on O&C Lands are split between 18 western Oregon counties and the general fund of the U.S. Treasury, as designated under the O&C Lands Sustained Yield Management Act of 1937. Counties use the revenue to fund essential county services.

It takes approximately 16,000 board feet of lumber to frame a 2,000-square-foot home.

One million board feet of timber is enough to build approximately 63 family sized residential homes.

Guest Opinion

Stand up for public access

By Mark Squillace Eighty-year-old Roger Hill used to go fishing on the Arkansas River in Colorado. But he sometimes had to duck baseball-size rocks thrown at him by landowners who insisted he was trespassing. When he got back to his car, he sometimes found notes threatening him with arrest if he returned. Worse, a fellow fisherman was shot at by a landowner, who got 30 days in jail for the attack.

Rather than risking Mark Squillace either injury or arrest, Hill sued the landowners, claiming that the bed of the Arkansas River is navigable. If that assumption is true, then Hill can legally stand on the riverbed and fish.

But Roger Hill’s fight is not just about his right to fish. It is about pushing back against the creeping tide of wealth-driven privatization that seeks to deny public access to our waterways and other public resources.

Here’s Hill’s case in a nutshell: When Colorado became a state in 1876, it entered the Union on an “equal footing” with other states. Among other things, the equal footing doctrine gives states title to the beds of all navigable streams within their borders.

As the U.S. Supreme Court explained in a case called Illinois Central Railroad v. Illinois, “it is a title different in character from that which the state holds in lands intended for sale…. It is a title held in trust for the people of the state, that they may enjoy the navigation of the waters, carry on commerce over them, and have liberty of fishing therein, freed from the obstruction or interference of private parties.”

History buffs might be interested to know that these public rights in navigable waterways date back at least to the time of the Roman Empire.

You might assume that Colorado would join this case on Hill’s side. Instead, the opposite happened. Attorney General Phil Weiser, a Democrat, joined the case on the side of the private landowners and has moved aggressively against Hill, seeking not just to deny his right to fish from the bed of the river, but also to claim that Hill doesn’t have the right to even be in court.

At various times, Attorney General Weiser has somewhat astoundingly argued that there are no navigable rivers in Colorado, and that even if there were, the state may deny public access to navigable riverbeds. So much for the Supreme Court’s holding that the State holds title to the bed of navigable streams “in trust for the people, that they may … have the liberty of fishing therein.”

In Colorado, opportunities to get outside and explore are celebrated. For that reason, it is alarming that the state’s Attorney General seeks to deny public access to Colorado’s navigable waterways.

If he were to prevail, Colorado would be alone among the 50 states — including all of its Western neighbors — in denying these rights.

Recently, the Colorado Court of Appeals offered Roger Hill a glimmer of hope that Attorney General Weiser can be stopped. The court held that Hill has standing to pursue his claim in state court and made the important finding that If “the relevant segment of the river was navigable at statehood, then the … defendants do not own the riverbed and would have no right to exclude [Hill] from it by threats of physical violence or prosecution for trespass.”

Although it seems unlikely, Attorney General Weiser now has an opportunity to switch sides and support public rights in navigable waterways, including Roger Hill’s right to fish while wading the bed of the Arkansas River.

Coloradans should expect and demand that he do so.

The Colorado Constitution proclaims that “water of every natural stream … within the state of Colorado, is … the property of the public…” When the framers dedicated Colorado’s natural streams to “the use of the people” they surely did not expect that the state’s attorney general would aggressively try to block public use.

Roger Hill’s fight is everyone’s fight. Let’s hope that he prevails.

Letters to the Editor A different perspective Bonnie Joyce’s letter to the editor 2/15 makes some points that need to be rebutted.

In the first paragraph, Ms. Joyce assumes my notion for the Elliott is that it’s only good for the cash value it can produce. Wrong. My notion is that the Elliott and other state-managed forestland can and should be managed for multiple use. The Elliott is a tremendous example of a previously well-managed, multiple use forest. There is more timber volume (carbon storage) and mixed-species habitat on the forest now than in any time since the last catastrophic stand-replacement wildfire in 1885.

The forest has produced hundreds of millions of dollars for the Common School Fund since the Columbus Day storm in 1962, and not to the detriment of wildlife habitat. Owls, murrelts, salmon and non-endangered species thrive because of adaptive forest practices in place since the early 1970’s. The forest had been sustainably managed and was postured for continued sustainable

harvest in perpetuity. Logging came to a halt when the Oregon Attorney General failed in 2014 to defend the publicly-driven forest management plan for the Elliott State Forest, not because logging was unsustainable or illegal. This was a political decision not driven by biology or economics or the Oregon Department of Forestry, a contractor, not a policy maker.

I’m not opposed to the Elliott as a research forest managed by anyone, provided the Common School Trust is fully compensated, not $221-million from an out dated appraisal.

OSU doesn’t want to own the Elliott itself because it’s labeled ‘damaged goods’, and as the owner, susceptible to continued law suites. Why don’t they study the adjacent Siuslaw National Forest or any of the other National Forest on the west coast?

The State Land Board is attempting to peddle-off and decouple the Elliott because it has become an albatross around their neck and they don’t have the political will to perform their constitutional mandate.

When Oregon was admitted to the

Union in 1859, the State was ‘given’ two sections out of every 36-section township for the benefit of common schools for primary education. The notion being the state would sell those lands and put the receipts in trust, the Common School Trust Fund. Eighty-one thousand acres of the Elliott are the result of a land trade consummated in 1930 with the US Forest Service for scattered School Trust Lands in eastern Oregon exchanged for the south part of the Siuslaw National Forest. The Land Board’s obligation is to act as Trustee for the Common School Fund, not in their own political best interest. Their obligation is a constitutional mandate made long before 1930.

I wonder: why can’t our politicians understand that conservation is the wise ‘multiple-use’ of natural resources, not giving them away for pennies on the dollar or ham-stringing their management with self-serving policy.

Guest Opinion

Why is the SWIFT system so important to Russia?

By Aron Solomon InsideSources.com

A SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) code is almost always required when you are party to an international money transfer. SWIFT is what allows a specific bank account to be identified in an international banking transaction. Without the use of a SWIFT, generally, it is impractical or impossible to make an international transfer.

That is why SWIFT has gone viral on social media and in the news this week. As part of a package of sanctions against Russia for the invasion of democratic Ukraine, SWIFT was at its core.

Banning Russia and wealthy Russians from SWIFT is arguably the most powerful economic weapon the world has to stop Russian aggression. Assuming that the hypothesis that Russian President Vladimir Putin is taking a huge gamble in invading Ukraine and risking an ongoing conflict that could lead to deep internal fissures in his power base in Russia, what financial weapon could be more powerful against him than SWIFT? Adriana Gonzalez, a Florida lawyer, explains that SWIFT has massive practical importance for Russia: “Given the fact that SWIFT has

over 11,000 financial institutions around the world, any nation that sells a massive amount of a resource – as Russia does with gas and oil – will find themselves hard-pressed to find a viable legal option to receive funds if they are no longer allowed on the SWIFT system.”

On Thursday, rather than blocking Russian access to SWIFT, President Joe Biden explained the United States, joined by the European Union and the United Kingdom, would not block Russia from SWIFT. Instead, Biden is leaving the threat of a SWIFT ban on the table and is, for now, blocking the five largest Russian banks from the U.S. banking system.

But that decision came down around 10 hours before the Russian invasion of Ukraine hit the capital city, Kyiv. The move could and should be a game-changer for the allies, as this should be viewed as something that the United States actually minds enough to immediately ramp up sanctions as a message to Russia that this heightened aggression will not stand.

On Saturday evening, the U.S. and the European Commission along with Canada, France, Italy, Germany, and the U.K. announced they were expelling select Russian financial institutions from SWIFT. If Russia is entirely removed from the SWIFT system, it has two practi-

cal options. For transactions limited to within Russia, they have their own version of SWIFT – the System for Transfer of Financial Messages.

After Russia invaded Crimea in 2014 and feared that its SWIFT access would be revoked, it built this internal system.

The other option is, of course, cryptocurrency. Yet only the most ardent enthusiasts of crypto believe that such an incendiary currency is a wise base upon which to sustain an economy, even in the short term. The internal pressure the most powerful Russian businesses could put on the Putin regime if faced with wildly fluctuating payment options for their goods and services could be extreme.

Sanction options can change as quickly as the situation on the ground and in their skies over Kyiv, so this is a rapidly-evolving story that will be closely watched by all of the allies and by Russia itself as it considers its next moves.

A memorial will be held for long time Bandon resident, Lynda Tigert, on March 19, 2022 at 2 pm at Amling Schroeder Funeral Service, Bandon Chapel.

Lynda was born April 26, 1946 in Fresno, California, the daughter of Jesse and Vera Patterson.

She died February 23, 2022 in Bandon at the age of 75.

She was born and raised in Southern California, where she met and married Ernest Lee Roy Tigert on February 6, 1965. They moved to Bandon, Oregon

Stuart worked as a truck driver for 34 years driving for Hallmark Fisheries, Davis Oil, and Les Schwab.

Betsy Ann (Leep) Henry January 11, 1960 – February 16, 2022

Bets Henry died at home after a long illness— and it’s impossible to imagine the world without her brilliant smile and brave spirit.

The youngest of 6 kids, Bets was born moving 100 mph, tagging along after her older siblings and a menagerie of family pets.

When she’d jump into the car with her cool teenage brothers, they made her and her sister, Nancy duck down in the back seat if they passed someone.

Then she got a horse and set out on her own. You always knew Bets was at the movies when you saw Peewee hitched up outside the theater.

A team player from the start, she was elected student body president at Myrtle Point High and won a volleyball scholarship to Mount Hood Community College.

The adventurer then headed off on a 2-month trip to New Zealand with Nancy.

After meeting a Wallowa County cowboy on a family hunting trip, Bets married and moved to eastern Oregon.

She thrived amid the mountains, horses and tight-knit community– working at hunting camps and Red’s Horse Ranch, where she belted out Christmas carols while shoveling snow, and on staff at Enterprise Animal Hospital. No matter where she was employed, she outworked everyone around her.

One of her great passions was volunteering every summer for the Chief Joseph Days Rodeo, where she did everything from paraderider to cook and greeter in the Hospitality Room.

She eventually served as Director, was named volunteer of the year,

and received the Justin Committee Person of the Year award.

While she knew everybody in Joseph and Enterprise, her social circle extended around the world. She was so connected to her many MySpace friends that she was one of that platform’s loyal last subscribers.

In 2014, she and her cats, the “T-Twins,” returned to Myrtle Point to help care for her dad.

She convinced her brother to load several huge rocks into the U-Haul, taking a piece of the land she loved so much with her.

She decorated her new house with those rocks, and images of cowgirls, cowboy boots and sunflowers.

Soon enough, customers at Hometown Hardware and golfers at the Coquille Elks Club were met with her teasing humor and infectious giggle–Bets had quickly become part of the community again.

She logged hundreds of miles walking around the local track listening to novels on CD, and was the glue in every family reunion and Thanksgiving, assigning the potlucks and running the cornhole games.

It’s so easy to say that someone “lit up a room,” but Bets absolutely illuminated it.

She was stubborn, independent, and keenly insightful—slicing to the truth of a situation, shaking her head, saying what she thought, and saying, “Jiminy!” There was nothing more fun than sitting in the sun with Bets and commenting on the world going by.

Thank you for shining your light and standing up for what matters most, Bets. We are all better for having been in your

The problem is my mother. When I was young and had similar problems, she told me: "It's a sin for someone who has as much going for her as you do to be depressed." (This was especially strange since she's not religious.) She has been similarly dismissive of my feelings during other bouts of depression. She is generous with money, gifts, cooking, etc., but she cannot understand that being close with someone has more to do with emotional trust than simply time spent together.

I don't know how to handle this current situation with my son. She wants to be involved, but I have a strong aversion to her being around because I don't know what she'll say. I need to protect my son and myself, but I know she'll feel hurt if I leave her out. What should I do? -MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATE DEAR ADVOCATE: Your mother's feelings should not be a priority right now. I'm recommending you "Grandma-proof" your son to the extent you can, by explaining to him that "Nana" has some old-fashioned, outdated ideas about depression, an illness that can run in families and appears to run in yours.

There are far more effective interventions for him now than were available for you back then.

Before trying to explain your desire for amputation to your family, please discuss this with a licensed psychotherapist who may be able to help you determine if you truly want to follow through with your intention. With psychiatric help, you may be able to integrate your "alien limb" into your body image.

AS I SEE IT: Bandon City Park

By Mary Schamehorn The first picture I am sharing is of City Park, taken long before the Bandon Fire. The story titled "City of Bandon Provides Beautiful Tourist Park" appeared in a special section of Western World in March of 1925.

"The problem of a suitable camp-ground was very easily solved at Bandon.

The city owns a park between the residence part of the town and the beach. The land is mostly high and well drained, covered with pines and carpeted with needles and lacking only water and light to make an ideal site for camping.

"Under the direction of the park committee of the city council these necessities were supplied, a band stand and office for the park keeper added and the place was ready.

"A clean-up day was staged by the people of the city, resulting in the removal of the underbrush and trash and the construction of roads that would permit cars to leave the main trails in safety. Camp ovens were built and a wood supply added for the convenience and accommodation of tourists.

"There are telephones available and the merchants of the city maintain a delivery service to the park. It is only a few blocks to the beach and not much farther to the city.

"The seeker after pleasure who comes to the cityby-the-sea can choose his temporary home from an infinite variety of sites. He can pitch his tent near the center of activity where the streams of traffic almost never stop or he can retire to some secluded spot where none will intrude on his privacy.

"He can lead the life of a minstrel or a troubadour or he can be a hermit in a cloistered cell in the woods where his meditations none will disturb.

"But always there will be the roar of the surf in his ears, the muffled protest of the whistling buoy or the weird note of the foghorn warning ships from the rocky shore or telling them where safety lies. He will stay longer than expected and when he leaves he will carry with him the memory of beauty and magnificence ... a haunting melody shot with tenderness and regret -- a voiceless complaint that ever one should have to leave the rock-strewn splendor of the beach at Bandonby-the-Sea." The second picture, taken in June of 1977, is of the old Coast Guard station before it was taken over by the Port of Bandon and beautifully restored.

It was in 1951 that the future of the Coast Guard station was still in doubt, but several ideas were being considered as the CG was being disestablished locally.

Community members had sent letters to the U.S. Treasury in an effort to find out what might happen to the building.

Three separate purposes had been suggested.

"At first it was considered that the building would make a good hospital. Later it was reported that the state hospital board would not sanction any new hospital project unless the building is fireproof, which would forestall effort in that direction.

"The next suggestion was that the post office department take it over for a local post office and federal office building. This, too, has its limitations and it is doubtful that the post office department would consider such a move.

"The most feasible of the three is to have the building turned over to the City of Bandon for a city hall.

Information is now being sought on the latter thought and something definite may be forthcoming at an early date."

As we know, none of those suggestions came to be as the building eventually was taken over by the Port of Bandon, who stills owns it today.

The third picture, taken in 1915 in downtown Bandon,

features a mobile cart that sold roasted peanuts. At left is George Erdman's City Meat Market. *** I was upset to learn that someone had scratched some racist graffiti into a public table in a shelter at City Park. I appreciate the woman who sent me photos, which I immediately shared with city staff, who removed the table.

It is sad when people have nothing better to do than deface public property and in such a despicable way, using the "N" word. *** The deadline to submit a letter of intent to the school district office at 455 9th Street SW for an open seat on the Bandon School Board is Friday, March 4, at 4 p.m. The mid-term vacancy was created with the resignation of Brianna Quattrocchi.

The appointment will be made at the March 14 school board meeting. *** By now locals have probably seen the "sale pending" sign on the gravel lot across from the Port marketplace, owned by Fred Gernandt and Kirk Day. The property had been listed for $1.9 million.

I contacted Gernandt, who had mentioned earlier that a group associated with Hilton was thinking about building a hotel on the site.

He said the property is being purchased by a development group, who have a number of options. "They are working on the best fit for their portfolio. Kirk and I had been in discussions about what to do with this land and we feel this is the best solution," Gernandt said.

I also asked about his plans for the Leuthold property on Riverside Drive, as he earlier announced plans for a high-end housing development. There has already been one archaeology report, and Gernandt said the archeologist that did the first report guestimated that the second report could cost $165,000. The first plan had 13 homes on it, so that makes it $16,600 per homesite plus about the same for Systems Development Charges ($13,750 per home), plus $450,000 for the excavation estimates.

There is a million dollars to be invested without land cost or home building costs.

So I am being cautious and frugal," Gernandt said. *** I learned recently that Dr. Douglas Crane, who is vice chairman of the medical staff at Southern Coos Hospital, had expanded his services, and is opening another clinic in Coquille.

I understood that he had purchased a former bank building in Coquille, which I believe is the building across from Farr's Hardware. Dr. Crane called me and said that while he is opening a clinic in Coquille, he will continue to operate his clinic in Bandon, and if

Bottom, a man sells peanuts from a mobile cart in 1915. patients from either clinic need to be hospitalized, he will utilize Southern Coos Hospital, which is good news for Bandon. *** After learning that there are going to be changes at the Port of Bandon's marketplace building, I turned to project manager Josh Adamson for details.

He said the administration decided to revert back to the original allowance of the Conditional Use permit, which allowed for the "Fish and Farmers" market by changing the operation hours to 11 to 3 p.m. on Fridays and 10 to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. The season will run from April 1 to Nov. 5 with an optional Christmas bazaar weekend in December.

The number of vendors to be allowed was reduced by almost half, said Adamson, and a parking plan was detailed in the handbook to alleviate the parking constraints that have surrounded the old town area with tourism and the closing of the adjacent gravel lot.

Details are available on the port website at www. portofbandon.com.

I also learned that longtime market managers John and Peggi Towne, who have been the heart and soul of the market, will apparently no longer be associated.

Adamson will supervise the market on Fridays and the RARE intern working for the Greater Bandon Association will supervise on Saturdays, according to GBA Executive Director Harv Schubothe. *** April is Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month. MaryCarol Roberson of Bandon says that The City of Bandon, along with its police department, school district, Rotary Club and the First Presbyterian Church are collaborating with Bay Area Hospital's Kids' HOPE Center for this important prevention and awareness effort.

Kids' HOPE Center is the child advocacy center for Coos County who serve children who have been victims of abuse. Coos County has the highest rate of child abuse in the state, said Roberson KHC is once again sponsoring the pinwheel fundraiser and are seeking indi-

vidual or business sponsors.

For more information or to order pinwheels, people can call Sara Bright at 541-2694196 or by mailing a check to Kids' HOPE Center, 1925 Thompson Road, Coos Bay, OR 97420.

Make sure to let Sara know that you are from Bandon, and one of our community partners will deliver the signs and put them up for you. We prefer your orders are in by March 20 so we can get them up by April 1, said Roberson. A $25 sponsorship will be good for 12 pinwheels and a prevention sign. A $50 sponsorship will pay for 25 pinwheels and a prevention sign. *** I received information last week from Christine Roberts, president of Coastal Harvest, who said she is retiring, and that their thrift store will be closing by Sept. 1.

"The thrift store started out as a fundraiser to create revenue to purchase food to distribute to those in need in the Bandon area," said Roberts. "That goal was reached within the first year.

"During the past three years, the thrift store has been fortunate to offer funds to the Lions club, Harbor Lights Middle School's lunch program, and Pacific High School's senor project. Many coats were donated in two years.

When the pandemic hit, two plant sales provided veggie starts to the community when plants were difficult to find. Effective March 1, the only donations accepted will be food and McKay's receipts. Monetary donations should be sent to PO Box 1122. The thrift store will be closed March 23 to May 4, reopening May 6 at 10 a.m., before finally closing around Sept. 1. The food pantry will remain open, providing boxes on

the first third Wednesdays from 9 to 11 a.m. Coastal Harvest would like to thank Bandon for their wonderful donations and patronage.

Without you the thrift store would not have happened," said Roberts. *** I have learned that Bandon man, Rodney D. Taylor, has officially filed for Position No. 3 for Coos County Commissioner, the seat now held by Melissa Cribbins, who also filed for re-election, as did Chase Carlson of Coquille. At the November election, Taylor was elected to the Bandon Port Commission and the Coos County Area Transit Board of Directors.

In other election news, long-time Sheriff Craig Zanni announced last week that he would not seek re-election. Running for the seat are Captain Gabe Fabrizio and Mike Kinnaird.

FRIDAY, MARCH 4, 2022 | theworldlink.com

Marshfield hosts Corbett in late-night playoff game The World Marshfield’s boys will have a late-night contest to try to advance to the Class 4A state tournament jointly hosted this year by Marshfield and North Bend.

The Pirates host the Corbett Cardinals in a game scheduled for an 8:30 p.m. tip Friday night after the semifinal contests for the Class 3A state tournament at the Pirate Palace.

Admission for the game is $8 for adults and $5 for students.

The winner advances to the quarterfinals on Thursday, March 10, against the winner of a game between Banks and host La Grande.

Marshfield shared the Sky-Em League title with Junction City and is ranked first in the coaches poll and third in the OSAA power rankings. The Pirates are 21-4 overall, including a one-point loss to Junction City, the top seed for the playoffs and No. 2 team in the coaches poll, and a loss to No. 9 Henley. The other losses are to Crescent Valley (No. 3 in Class 5A) and powerful Camas, Wash.

Corbett is 15-5 and finished second in the Tri-Valley Conference. Two of the Cardinals’ losses came by one point — to Gladstone and Estacada — and Corbett also lost by four points to Gladstone, which won the Tri-Valley Conference and hosts Baker on Friday. Corbett beat Tillamook in the play-in round.

The Pirates beat Sweet Home in the play-in round to reach the playoffs and are 17-8 overall.

Baker, which is No. 3 in the power rankings and No. 4 in the coaches poll, is 19-5 overall and won the Greater Oregon League.

The Bulldogs lost by one point to both Pendleton and

Fruitland, Idaho, later avenging each of those losses. The other losses came to Class 1A power Crane (by three points), Class 3A power Nyssa (seeded second in this week’s state tournament) and Crook County (one of the better surprises of the Class 5A basketball season).

The Marshfield-Baker winner

will face the winner of another Saturday game between Corbett and host Banks.

The other first-round girls matchups are Henley at Philomath, Stayton at Mazama, Marist Catholic at Gladstone, Hidden Valley at Junction City, Astoria at Madras and La Grande at Cascade.

Bulldogs Practice begins for spring sports in Oregon fall short in final basketball games The World

The World North Bend’s girls basketball team finished the season with a 6533 loss to top-ranked Willamette at home on Tuesday.

Adrianna Frank had 13 points, Kylee Lambert eight and Trinity Barker six.

Brynn Smith had five 3-pointers and 25 points and Maddy Warberg added four 3-pointers and 12 points for the Wolverines, the two freshmen among the talented group that has led Willamette to a 24-1 record heading into the playoffs.

North Bend finished its final season in Class 5A with an 11-14 record.

“With a few exceptions, I feel like we won the games we should have,” North Bend coach Mike Forrester said. “I wish that our girls could have all been able to experience a playoff game.

“I’m proud of them for supporting each other and for representing our school with a positive attitude every night they were on the floor.”

North Bend finished 5-11 in the final league standings while Willamette was a perfect 16-0. Crater, Springfield and Churchill all tied for second at 12-4 and fifth-place Thurston also got into the playoffs after finishing 8-8.

Willamette hosts Milwaukie on Saturday and Springfield is home against West Albany while Crater hosts Putnam. Thurston is at Crook County and Churchill at Corvallis.

The winners advance to the state tournament at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis.

North Bend’s boys fell to Willamette 68-26 to end the year winless in the tough Midwestern League.

Churchill finished 15-1 in league play while Crater was 12-4, Ashland 11-5 and Eagle Point 10-6.

The league’s top four teams all will host games Friday for a spot in the state tournament. Churchill hosts The Dalles, Eagle Point entertains Hood River Valley, Crater is home against Corvallis and Ashland hosts La Salle Prep.

The final winter sports event also is March 18, when Marshfield’s dance team, The Upbeats, competes in the state championships at Oregon City High School.

SWOCC baseball, softball teams off to strong starts The World The Southwestern Oregon Community College baseball team used aggressive base running, solid pitching and good offensive production to take three of four games last weekend as the Lakers opened the season with back-to-back doubleheaders against visiting Grays Harbor.

The Lakers swept Friday’s games 6-5 and 10-4 and on Saturday lost 6-5 and won 12-2.

Over the span of the four games, the Lakers had 46 hits and 25 stolen bases, including a school-record 11 in Saturday’s win. The pitching staff, meanwhile, had an earned run average of 3.44 and 55 strikeouts over the weekend.

SWOCC is headed to Eastern Oregon this weekend for four games against Treasure Valley, to be played in Ontario.

The Lakers showed resilience in their opening win, rallying from a 5-0 deficit and eventually winning in 11 innings.

Chase Stewart had three hits (including a double), a run and an RBI in the win. Roman Guthrie also had a double and Payton Cleaves had a triple. Tiago Sato drove in two runs, including bringing home Stewart for the game-winner with a single in the 11th.

Dominic Mercado and Derek Atkinson combined for seven innings of scoreless relief with eight strikeouts in relief of starter Dallas McGill, who struck out eight but also gave up five runs (three earned) in four innings.

SWOCC broke out the offense for the nightcap, pounding out 14 hits. Cleaves had three hits and a run; Stewart had two hits and two runs; Noah Sumibcay had two hits, three runs and three RBIs; Sato had two hits, a run and an RBI; and Guthrie had

two hits and a run. Bula White hit SWOCC’s first home run of the season and Sumibcay had a triple. Cleaves, Stewart and Sato all had doubles and Sato had two of the Lakers’ five stolen bases.

Grays Harbor turned the tables on the Lakers in Saturday’s opener, with a four-run rally in the ninth to win 6-5.

Cannon Morgan had a pair of doubles and a run and Sumibcay had two hits and a run. Sato had a run and two RBIs. Kekoa Ganancial had two stolen bases and a run and an RBI. The Lakers finished the series on the positive note. Even though the final game only lasted five innings, all nine players in the lineup had at least one run and eight of them had at least one hit. Sumibcay went 3-for-4 with two runs and three RBIs and White went 3-for-3 with two runs and two RBIs. Anu McCabe blasted a three-run home run and Morgan drove in two runs while Sato scored two.

Ryan Cooper stole three bases and Cleaves, Sumibcay and Ganancial had two thefts each.

Guthrie pitched four innings of scoreless relief to pick up the win, striking out seven and not issuing a walk.

SOFTBALL SWOCC had four dominant wins over the weekend, beating Treasure Valley and Chemeketa on both Saturday and Sunday.

The Lakers opened with a 9-1 win over Treasure Valley. Alyssa Smokey pitched four innings of no-hit ball in the five-inning win and SWOCC pounded out 13 hits including a home run

by Brittany Bye and doubles

by Katelynn Evans, Hannah Tennant, Alapese Matautia, McKenna Marshall and Carissa Andrews.

Evans, Andrews and Matautia had two hits each and Mansfield

and Smokey both drove in two runs, with Evans scoring twice.

SWOCC’s second win Saturday was 10-0 over Chemeketa, with Emma Fournier and Joslyn Soinnila combining to give up one hit in the five-inning shutout.

Bye hit another home run and Mansfield, Bye, Tennant, Matautia and Emma Fournier all had doubles. Bye drove in three runs and Mansfield and Tennant had two RBIs each. Mansfield also scored three runs.

The Lakers had even more firepower Saturday, beating Treasure Valley 17-1 behind a 22-hit attack and blanking Chemeketa 21-0.

Bye made it three straight games with a home run while Tennant, Matautia and Andrews each had two doubles and Bye, Smokey and Marshall one.

Marshall drove in four runs and Andrews and Bye three each.

Tennant had three runs and two RBIs and Matautia also scored three times, with Mansfield, Bye, Smokey and Marshall scoring twice each.

Smokey struck out seven as she and Tinity Jordan combined on a one-hitter in the final game of the weekend. The Lakers, meanwhile, had 26 hits.

Bye hit two more home runs, giving her five for the opening weekend, and Marshall also went deep. Evans had a pair of triples and Mansfield, Smokey, Tennant and Sterling Williams had doubles.

Bye capped her amazing weekend with four hits, seven RBIs and three runs in the finale and Marshall drove in five runs and scored twice. Evans, Hilana Ely and Brooklyn Cox all had three hits and Cox scored three runs while Evans crossed the plate four times.

The Lakers had opened the

season back on Feb. 19 against Willamette University, winning the opener 4-3 and losing the nightcap 7-6.

In the win, Tennant drove in Mansfield with the winning run in the seventh inning. Mansfield had two hits and two runs and Bye had a home run and single.

Smokey pitched a complete game with 13 strikeouts, allowing just one hit.

Willamette scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh to steal the nightcap.

Matautia had three hits, two RBIs and a run and Mansfield had three hits with a run and an RBI. Bye had two hits and two RBIs and Fournier scored twice.

Andrews had a triple.

This weekend, the Lakers face Bellevue and Edmonds both Saturday and Sunday at the Bellevue Invite.

BASKETBALL SWOCC’s men offset another hard loss last Wednesday by winning at Clackamas on Saturday. The Lakers fell Wednesday to visiting Umpqua in overtime, 96-91 before bouncing back to beat the Cougars 86-78.

This week, the Lakers host Clark on Saturday, an event that will include the annual teddy bear toss during halftime, when all the stuffed animals will go to local children through the Kids Hope Center.

SWOCC is 6-7, a game behind Clackamas in the race for fourth place. The Lakers finish the season on the road, at league-leading Lane and Portland on Wednesday and Saturday, respectively.

SWOCC’s women fell to third-place Umpqua 80-58 and second-place Clackamas 94-65.

Emma Yazzie had 15 points and Gillian Roybal 14 against the Riverhawks. Evy Ethington added 11.

embassy decided to close in Kyiv, they had to cancel my daughter's visa appointment. They basically said go to Poland, but the problem was you had to have a visa to get in."

Poland is now accepting Ukrainians without visas, but Kimble said for now he and his family are waiting it out. Over the weekend, he pounded out stainless steel to make what he called basic body armor.

During a video call with The World, he showed around his house, where all the windows are taped over to keep glass from flying if something explodes nearby.

While Kimble is working to be prepared, he admitted he was worried.

He said his family uses the Ukrainian word for duck every time they hear the sirens, and they run to their kitchen and hide. In addition, they never leave their home without helmets, just in case.

"I'd be idiotic if I wasn't scared," he said. "I'm more scared for my family."

As Kimble talked to The World, he stopped several times as news flashes reporting new attacks were sent to his phone.

"Apparently the talks in Belarus didn't accomplish anything," he said. "That's what we're hearing. We were hoping for some kind of resolution today with the talks. I don't think the president of the Russian federation will accept anything other than his goal."

cause more severe disease," Sidelinger said. "But for the time being, we can move forward with individuals and individual communities making decisions based on the conditions on the ground, the conditions, the risk factors, and those around them as we all step up to protect ourselves (and) our loved ones in our broader communities."

Sidelinger acknowledged the gains Oregon has made so far in widespread compliance with state health directives and stemming the spread of COVID-19.

"I think this is an important step in response to the pandemic that we have in front of us - the virus that we have in front of us. Cases are significantly declining, there are no emerging variants of concern on the horizon, and we continue to see increases in people being up-to-date with their vaccinations," he said.

The Oregon Health Authority has twice revised the state's indoor mask mandate to end on March 31 and again on March 19, following a significant decline in hospitalizations and case counts.

The revisions follow a reduction of more than half in hospitalizations from the Omicron peak of 1,130 on Jan. 27, down to 528 as of Thursday, Feb. 24, according to Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU's) latest COVID-19 forecast.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown released a statement in response to the changes in OHA guidance.

“Two years ago, today, we identified Oregon’s first case of COVID-19. As has been made clear time and again over the last two years, COVID-19 does not stop at state borders or

county lines. On the West Coast, our communities and economies are linked.

"Together, as we continue to recover from the Omicron surge, we will build resiliency and prepare for the next variant and the next pandemic. As we learn to live with this virus, we must remain vigilant to protect each other and prevent disruption to our schools, businesses, and communities––with a focus on protecting our most vulnerable and the people and communities that have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19.”

As Oregon moves to shift masking policies back to local control, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced that 70% of U.S. counties no longer face indoor mask recommendations.

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky shared the following information in a Feb. 25 press briefing.

"Today, (the) CDC is updating its framework to monitor the level of COVID-19 and communities. We’re in a stronger place today as a nation with more tools to protect ourselves in our communities from COVID 19.

"Now, as the virus continues to circulate in our communities, we must focus our metrics beyond just cases in the community and direct our efforts toward protecting people at high risk for severe illness and preventing COVID-19 from overwhelming our hospitals and our healthcare systems.

"This new framework moves beyond just looking at cases and test positivity to evaluate factors that reflect the severity of disease, including hospitalizations and hospital capacity, and helps to determine whether the level of COVID-19 and severe disease are low, medium, or high in a community."

Hebocon robot competition coming to North Bend library At 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 19, the North Bend Public Library will host a Hebocon competition. Hebocon has been described as “poorly-constructed robot sumo-wrestling.”

Hebocon is Japanese in origin, coming from heboi, meaning “poor quality.” Robots that are well-constructed or operated by remote control are not allowed to compete.

Robots equipped with devices intended to damage other robots are also disqualified.

The competition consists of timed battles between two robots, and the first robot to fall over or leave the playing area loses.

Robots must weigh two pounds or less and be 20 inches or less in width or length. There are no restrictions on height.

Batteries are allowed.

The library will give away a limited number of toy cars to

use as a base for a robot, but participants should feel free to use other devices. With Hebocon, ingenuity is encouraged but competence is almost a disqualifier.

In keeping with the spirit of the competition, the winner will receive a grand prize of a $5 gift card and a trophy made of items found in the back room of the library.

A limit of 32 robots will be allowed to compete, but all robots present will be admired.

Official Hebocon rules and other information will be available on the library website, and copies will be available at the desk.

For information about this event and other library programs, contact the North Bend Public Library at 541-756-0400, email ddouglas@northbendlibrary.org or see our website at http://northbendoregon.us/library.

Feeding birds in bird feeders at your home is a good way to see wildlife. On the other hand, feeding wild animals can be dangerous to the wildlife.

Nature Guide Journal: Stop feeding the wildlife

By MARTY GILES Guest Article

Winter is a hospitable time, a time we invite friends and family to our homes and offer food and drink. And for many of us, wildlife are our neighbors and distant family whose company we greatly enjoy.

Many people feed wildlife around their homes and in public places because they want to interact with the animals and because we think we’re being helpful and hospitable. It is certainly true that humans and our managed environments have displaced enormous populations and uncountable species of our fellow animals, but we’re sometimes doing the wildlife more harm than good when we give them handouts.

In the first place, “people food” is bad for wildlife. The stale bread fed to park ducks and the French fries tossed to gulls replace natural foods with the nutrition the animals need and can even make wildlife very sick. (Further, seed intended for planting may be treated with fungicides or other toxins poisonous to wildlife.)

In nature, food sources are usually dispersed or transient; unnatural concentrations of food can lead to unnatural crowding.

In turn, the crowding can lead to the rapid spread of disease and can even change wildlife social behavior. And where there’s too much food, there’s also too much excrement, overpowering natural recycling systems and compounding disease.

Feeding wildlife in human spaces also exposes them to additional human-related hazards, such as predation by pets, collisions with vehicles, colli-

sions with wires and windows, entanglements with lines and netting, and contact with poisons.

And, if used to eating people food, wildlife may seek out such sources on their own, foraging in garbage - sometimes eating poison or deadly packaging along with the food.

Wildlife that’s often fed by people may lose their fear of us.

Note that a wild animal that eats from your hand is not as much tame as it is bold - they may still bite, butt, claw, or scratch the hand that feeds them. I’ve had park ducks bite my pant leg demanding a share of my lunch (though I had given them none) and have witnessed ducks seeking a handout chase frightened children.

While it appears that feeding small birds won’t interrupt their migration, the US Fish & Wildlife Service does state that human feeding of waterfowl can disrupt their migration patterns, tempting the birds to delay or skip their migration and putting them at risk.

Some wildlife can be fed responsibly: if done properly, backyard bird feeders can augment natural food sources limited by human encroachment and bring birds to view with little hazard to the birds. Safe backyard bird feeding means paying attention to the details, such as choosing the right food and using an appropriate feeder that keeps food clean and dry and that excludes unwanted animals.

Proper location of the feeder is important, too: near cover for the birds, but not too close to hiding places for predators - house cats, notably - or about 10’ from vegetation. Appropriate maintenance is also critical, including quickly replacing spoiled or contaminat-

ed food, cleaning up spilled food and feces, and regularly cleaning the feeder.

Ignore the temptation to pack in many feeders for a huge flock -- one small feeder, or two or three spread out, will still bring birds while minimizing the problems of overcrowding.

For more information about backyard bird feeders, visit: http://www.birds.cornell.edu/ pfw/AboutBirdsandFeeding/abtbirds_index.html If you spend some of your winter evenings planning the summer’s garden, consider adding landscaping for birds and other wildlife. Check out ODFW’s “Naturescaping” for more information. (Available at local libraries or on-line here: http://www.dfw.state.or.us/conservationstrategy/naturescaping/ resources.asp#resources .)

While you’re shopping for bird feeders or waiting for your Naturescaping to mature, go out to visit the wildlife in their homes—but don’t bring the bread.

The Chamber Minute: Natural Resources Team We live in an area rich in natural resources with our forests, sand dunes and ocean. Why 85% of Coos County is forest land. So it makes a lot of sense that your chamber would have a Natural Resources Team.

Before the pandemic, our team held a joint monthly meeting with the Douglas Timber Operators. We look to again make that connection as Oregon becomes truly open for business.

Those sessions, and our present gatherings, have an educational and action focus on current resource management plans and

2020

issues. In the past couple years, we have dealt with the BLM Western Oregon resource management plan, a proposal from the Dunes National Recreation Area concerning off-highway route designations, several Elliot State Forest management issues and wildfire protection funding on a statewide basis, just to name a few.

But we don’t only have a tree focus. The Team supports the local STEP programs, and especially the Coos Basin Salmon Derby which takes place each September. These programs not

Thank You

only provide hands on fishery education for our students and increase fish stocks in the region, but also bring many tourism dollars to the area.

We monitor the wind and wave energy projects proposed along the southern Oregon coast and the potential impact they can have on commercial and recreational fishing.

The team supports the commercial fishery and its efforts to encourage state and federal agencies to actively manage the ocean stocks so we can maintain this historic and sustainable

industry.

So chamber member, if this sounds like something you want to be part of, our Natural Resources Team is currently meeting virtually each month.

Give us a call and we will line you up to participate.

Remember Our Business is helping your Business. And like us on Facebook (Timm Slater is executive director of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce. For more information on your Chamber, email timmslater@oregonsbayarea.org.)

The World

Florence flower basket program to bloom again Florence Area Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the public works department of the city of Florence, is preparing to hang the magnificent flower baskets that have adorned Bay Street from spring into fall for the last several years.

“We’re excited to again add a major touch of welcoming beauty to Highway 101, from the bridge to the intersection with Highway 126, by hanging a total of more than 100 baskets again this year,” said Chamber President and CEO Bettina Hannigan.

“By doing so we’re hoping to demonstrate optimism, good will, good weather, beauty, and our cautious steps toward the restoration of tourism.”

Individuals, businesses and civic clubs are encouraged to sponsor a flower basket for $100. Sponsorships can be purchased as a “ticket” at FlorenceChamber.com under the events tab or at https://bit.ly/ FlowerBaskets2022 The chamber organizes

the effort and the city of Florence public works department hangs and maintains the flowers from early May through October.

Each year, the chamber has flower basket sponsors from Eugene/Springfield, Corvallis/Albany, other coastal communities, and other locations.

“We suspect some of our out-of-town sponsors are inspired visitors who love Florence or have vacation places in Florence. Some people sponsor them as a dedication to a friend or loved one,” added Hannigan. “Many people take pictures with them to share online and remember their trip to Florence. That gives the program a lot of marketing mileage in other communities. Many of our local sponsors sign up year after year for the pride it gives them in supporting and beautifying our community.

“This is yet another way to build on our local beauty and support local small businesses. By hanging them along the new

The popular flower basket program will return to Florence in the coming weeks. streetscape, as well as in Old Town, with the new banners that are adorning light poles around town, locals and visitors will slow down and take in a

very positive impression of our community, and that helps commerce in our area,” said Hannigan.

Hannigan said that under normal circumstances ap-

proximately 1,900 people in Florence rely on tourism-based employment, and tourism pumps about $147 million into the local economy each year.

For information on sponsoring a flower basket, joining the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce, or how to volunteer, contact Hannigan at 541-997-3128.

Buddy is a big playful puppy, with lots of energy, and seems to be quite intelligent! Buddy spent his life confined to a trailer, which he escaped and, unfortunately, bit a child. We are recommending an “adults only” home for him. He needs someone with experience, willing to help him with his social skills.

Luna was abandoned along with family she would love to be adopted alongside. She will stay in the kennel until she feels comfortable, if that ever happens in a house of over 80 felines. She would love to be brought to a home with low traffic, no other pets or small children to bother her.

What to expect at a veterinary dental cleaning Oral health is as important for companion animals as it is for their owners. Left unchecked in pets, periodontal disease can lead to pain, trouble eating and other issues.

If oral hygiene is ignored, pets can develop tooth decay and other issues.

People know from experience what to expect when they go to a dentist for a cleaning,

but a pet’s oral cleaning may be an unknown — and that can induce anxiety.

Most cleanings follow a similar pattern and recognition of that pattern can give pet owners an idea of what to expect at a veterinary dental cleaning.

Anesthesia One of the main differences between a dental cleaning for a person and one for a pet is the use of anesthesia. According to Kulshan Veterinary Hospital, pets do not willingly open their mouths to give veterinary dentists access to perform cleanings. Anesthesia ensures that the animal will remain still and the vet can remove any plaque and tartar that has built up. If a tooth needs to be extracted,

Call if you need a different time slot. they can also be seen on Kohl’s Kitty Kare facebook page and kohlscats.info/about-us/ Patience will be required as they settle in and get used to new surroundings before cozying up to their new human companion.

Only time will tell if they will fit into their new situation when they are adopted. It really is no different for human kids.

Patience goes such a long way to benefit all involved.

sedation ensures that will go smoothly.

Pre-testing Since anesthesia will be used, vets often will run lab work and an EKG to determine if a pet is healthy enough to receive anesthesia. Testing ahead of time also helps the vet make the best decisions regarding which types of anesthetics to administer and in what quantities.

Examination and cleaning The vet will conduct a thorough examination of the pet’s mouth. A dental probe is often used to evaluate bleeding gums and detect pockets in the gums where food can accumulate and potentially lead to decay.

Teeth will then be polished to remove

any microscopic scratches that can snag bacteria and lead to subsequent build-up.

At home When the pet is released to go home, it is important for pet owners to keep up with dental cleanings. Do not use toothpaste designed for humans, as there are special animal-safe products for this purpose. Depending on what was done during the cleaning, the vet may prescribe antibiotics and/or pain medications.

Dental cleanings are an important component of overall pet care. Consult with a vet to learn more about pet dental cleanings.
