Coos Bay City Council hears housing production strategies

By WILL LOHRE Country Media

At the Joint City Council & URA Board work session February 28, the council received a presentation on the Draft 2023 Housing Production Strategy. Establishing a strategy is designed to help communities meet their housing needs. In 2021, the council authorized an application for a successful grant to the Department of Land Conservation and Development to prepare this work with the services of 3J Group and FCS Group.

A presentation of the progress made on the project was made to the council by Tim Wood of FCS

Group. Wood described the presentation as a “road map” for different housing policies that they have developed. Wood began his presentation by outlining the findings of the 2020 Housing Needs Analysis study that Coos Bay completed. According to the findings, Coos Bay will add 1,244 people by 2040, and the city has approximately 480 buildable acres of land. There is a shortage of affordable renting options and high demand for homes among upper-income households. The HNA noted that the city should expect to accommodate the need for housing with 604 new dwelling units by 2040.

The housing production strategies suggested in the presentation were:

1. Develop/continue partnerships with nonprofits for housing development

2. Encourage medium/highdensity development in medium/high-density zones

3. Provide pre-approved middle housing designs

4. Develop criteria and process for identifying land to up-zone

5. Ensure that zoning is clear and objective

6. Develop criteria to allow single unit and duplexes on small commercial lots

7. Amend minimum lot line and building setback requirements

8. Property tax abatement

Following the presentation of these options, a discussion with the council ensued. The Planning Commission will review the draft HPS on March 14 and the required public hearing on the project is currently scheduled for City Council’s April 18 meeting.

Next, there was a discussion regarding the two alleys between South Wasson Street and South Cammann Street. Jennifer Wirsing gave a presentation on the issue, with an overview of the site and the work needed to remedy the issue. The subject area is the city block located east of South Wasson Street, west of South Cammann Street, north of Michigan Avenue, and south of Newmark Avenue. Within this city block, there are

two existing platted alleys that run north to south and east to west. At the intersection of these two alleys, the traveled way has migrated onto private property and thus outside of the platted right of way. Fixing the problem may cost approximately $30,000. The scope of work would include grading the intersection, lowering the existing manhole lid to match the new grades, and installing an eco-block wall (up to 5 feet).

The staff recommended making these two alleys dead ends by installing signage. A resolution was not agreed upon as the property owners were not there to give input. After the conclusion of the presentation and discussion, the meeting was adjourned.

Local writer dives deep into Coos Bay history

In the early logging camps of the late 19th and early 20th century, the bunkhouses were dirty, unsanitary, and overcrowded. Men were packed like sardines using double bunks one above the other. Many of logging camps were infested with lice and the only way a man could hold these pests in check was to wash and boil his clothes every week. Without separate washrooms to dry the wet clothes, the men simply strung rope across the bunk house over the hot wood stove and draped their wet clothes to dry overnight. ca. early 20th century.

Man shot, later charged with attempted murder

The World

On March 3 at 12:38 a.m., the Coos County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch Center received a call of shots fired in the parking lot of the Charleston Fire Department located at 92342 Cape Arago Highway near Coos Bay.

Deputy Francis was in the area and arrived on scene almost immediately. Deputy Francis located one subject shot and was instrumental in rendering life-saving aid until medical personnel arrived on scene. The other subject involved (shooter) was also on scene and had called 9-1-1 for police response after the incident. The subject who had been shot was identified as Tony J. Madrigal, 37, of Coos Bay. The shooter was identified as Lane L. Klink, 55, also of Coos Bay. Madrigal was transported to Bay Area Hospital for a single gunshot wound and Klink remained on scene and fully cooperated with law enforcement.

Prior to the incident, Madrigal and Klink had both been operating separate motorcycles in Coos Bay and were traveling westbound on Newmark Avenue. At some point, Madrigal attempted to run Klink,

who had a passenger, off the road. Madrigal continued to chase Klink, yelling for him to pull over. Klink finally pulled over in the Charleston Fire Hall.

It was reported Madrigal unsheathed a large, 12-inch knife and aggressively advanced towards Klink. Madrigal reportedly stated he was a, “Free Soul,” and was upset about the patches on Klink’s jacket.

Klink gave a verbal warning to Madrigal, who continued to advance towards Klink, still brandishing the knife. Klink then unholstered his firearm and fired one round, striking Madrigal. Klink then immediately called 9-1-1 for police response.

Madrigal was contacted at Bay Area Hospital and admitted telling Mr. Klink to pull over and advancing towards Klink to talk about the road rage incident. Madrigal denied possessing a knife and stated, “It was just an accident.”

A knife approximately 12 inches in length and a firearm was recovered from the scene.

The investigation has been completed and as a result, Madrigal is being referred to the Coos County District Attorney’s Office on charges of attempted murder and unlawful use of a weapon.

Bandon man rescued after being trapped in snow

The World A Bandon man who was stuck in the snow for more than 10 days was rescued Friday, March 3, and safely returned home.

Sgt. Adam Slater with the Coos County Sheriff’s Office reported the dispatch center received a 9-1-1 call around 4 p.m. March 3 reporting the man was stuck in deep snow at the Rock Creek Campground near Powers.

The man reported he had visited the campground February 20 and

got stuck when his vehicle became disabled. He had survived 11 days in the snow before calling for help.

Two deputies were immediately dispatched to the campground after learning the man had very little food remaining and more bad weather was in the forecast.

Deputies Gray and Baker were able to make it to the campground, which was covered in three feet of snow, by 7 p.m. They made contact with Matthew G. Taylor, 59, from Bandon. Despite being snuck in the snow for 11 days, Taylor was cold

and hungry but not injured.

The deputies transported Taylor out of the campground, where he was given a ride home to Bandon by members of the sheriff’s office.

“The Coos County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind people to avoid traveling in hazardous weather if at all possible,” Slater said. “If you must travel, please ensure your friends or family know your travel route. Prepare for winter weather and make sure you have extra water, food, blankets, cell phone and other associated items.”

Marshfield girls advance to 4A state tournament

By JOHN GUNTHER For The

World

COOS BAY — Marshfield’s girls are headed to the Class 4A state basketball tournament.

The Pirates held off visiting Molalla 48-37 on Friday night to punch their ticket in the quarterfinals at Forest Grove High School at 3:15 p.m. Thursday against Henley.

“That was really fun,” said Marshfield coach Doug Miles. “I’m really happy for these girls. They haven’t been a part of it. I just wanted them to experience this.”

The Pirates had struggled in their previous two games — a tiebreaker game against Sky-Em League co-champion Marist Catholic and a game against Astoria, but put together a great effort against the Indians Friday.

Miles said part of the struggles in the previous two outings might have been because the Pirates knew they had nothing to play for. They were locked into a home game in the playoffs regardless of the outcomes.

Friday’s contest was a different matter.

“It was life or death,” said Marshfield senior Trinity Barker. “We just brought the energy and enjoyed it.”

Bandon girls miss out on trophy at Class 2A tourney

THE WORld

Bandon had a short stay at the Class 2A girls state tournament in Pendleton, losing in the consolation bracket to Colton 32-28 on Friday morning.

The Tigers had lost 43-34

a night earlier to Stanfield in the quarterfinals. Bandon finished the season 23-6.

In Friday’s game, Bandon led 10-5 through one quarter but was outscored by three in each of the final three.

Olivia Thompson led the Tigers with 10 points and

Lizzy Stice and Makiah Vierck added five each.

Avery Relland scored 12 for Colton.

Both of Bandon’s league rivals in the tournament lost in the semifinals, with Monroe coming up short against Gervais and Central Linn

Cascade Christian rolls to 3A title

By JOHN GUNTHER

For The World

COOS BAY — Three years in a row, Cascade Christian had a double-digit lead at halftime of the state championship game and watched the opponent come storming back. That was the focus of the halftime talk Saturday night as the Challengers led Westside Christian 36-26 heading to the locker room in the 3A boys OSAA/On-Point Community Credit Union championship game at Marshfield High School.

“Our big thing was to extend it to 15, 20, 25 points,” Cascade Christian coach Brian Morse said. Mission accomplished. The Challengers outscored the Eagles 21-12 in the third quarter and led by as many as 28 points on the way to a 76-54 victory.

Ultimately, Cascade Christian lost the final to Oregon Episcopal in 2020 (35-33) and to Yamhill-Carlton in the concluding week tournament to the shortened season in 2021 (52-48). The Challengers managed to hold off De La Salle North Catholic last winter (52-45) and now they are back-to-back champions.

“It’s amazing,” said Austin Maurer, the team’s junior center. “I don’t have words to describe it.

“We’ve done it two years in a row. We’ve put a lot of work in. We want to do it again next year.”

Maurer was a huge part in the win, literally and figuratively. He had a game-high 31 points and 14 rebounds, and was a big part of extending the lead.

“In the third quarter, he kind of went into beast mode,” Morse said.

Maurer had a couple of 3-pointers and a couple of big dunks in the quarter.

He was a menace inside with his size and touch, but a key to building the halftime lead was an element that really improved when he was on the sidelines with a broken arm much of the season.

Cascade Christian stretched the lead late in the second quarter with two fast-break hoops by different

players who got ahead of Westside Christian’s defense — Peyton Maurer and Deryk Farmer.

“We are fast,” Morse said.

“We like to get out and run. When Austin went out with his injury, we ran, ran, ran, ran, ran.”

The equation Saturday was simple, said point guard Drew Hall.

“If our 7-footer can get a rebound and kick it out to me and I can get down the court and facilitate, that’s hard to guard,” Hall said.

Hall finished with seven assists and also had 20 points.

The Challengers also started lighting it up from outside. Ultimately, they finished with eight 3-pointers as a team, including two by Hall and one each by Peyton Maurer, Fronckowiak, Cannon Anderson and Triston Wallace, the team’s lone senior.

The game was close well into the second quarter. Westside Christian led 15-13 through one, but couldn’t keep up.

“They started making some shots, and obviously some foul trouble affected things,” said Westside Christian coach David Henry.

The Eagles also were impacted by an injury from the night before in a semifinal win over Oregon Episcopal to Jonah Jones.

“Jonah was a shell of himself,” Henry said. “I’m proud of him for making a go of it for his team.”

Jones had six points and five rebounds, but wasn’t nearly as effective as he was the first two days of the tournament.

Dax Hanzlik led the Eagles with 16 points and Ethan Chiong had 13 points, including three 3-pointers. Will Flicker added nine points.

The Eagles made all eight of their free throws and shot 40 percent from the floor, but didn’t necessarily often get good shots, which was Cascade Christian’s goal.

“I’m convinced we have the best defense in the state,” Morse said. “We make teams take longer possessions, and longer possessions help us out.

“I thought we did a great job.”

falling to Stanfield. Monroe had upset top-ranked Salem Academy 43-38 in the quarterfinals while Central Linn beat Colton 32-22. Salem Academy topped Colton 40-35 in the fourthplace game. In the third-place game,

Hall agreed.

“We forced them to take tough shots,” he said.

The result was the Eagles coming up short in their first trip to a championship game since 1988.

Henry said he was proud of his players for their season, which included losses to just two teams — Cascade Christian in the regular season and championship and De La Salle North Catholic three times in league play and the Lewis & Clark League playoffs.

“We talk about making the positive every day,” Henry said. “Hopefully they enjoy the scenario.”

Cascade Christian, meanwhile, won its second in a row and fourth in the long tenure of Morse as its coach.

“It’s really special,” Morse said. “I’ve won them before and every experience is different and special.

“I’m so happy for these kids. We’ve worked so hard.”

Hall agreed.

“It’s a great feeling, how much we’ve improved,” he said.

Notes: Jones, Hall and Maurer were on the all-tournament first team, selected by the coaches, along with De La Salle North Catholic’s Jaylen Hill and Oregon Episcopal’s Levi Edelman. The second team included Chiong, along with De La Salle North Catholic’s Quincy Aranda, Boston Hodges of Dayton, Gavin English of Pleasant Hill and Ben Mayo of Banks. Pleasant Hill won the sportsmanship trophy.

THIRD PLACE: Oregon Episcopal beat Lewis & Clark League rival De La Salle North Catholic 7871 to finish the season on a winning note.

“It makes it sweeter,” Oregon Episcopal’s Cyrus Forney said of beating the Knights in the trophy round after losing to them twice during the regular season. “They’re an amazing team We’ve had a hard time with them in the past.”

He said the Knights are the gold standard other teams in the Lewis & Clark League are trying to match.

Central Linn topped Monroe 48-31.

In Bandon’s quarterfinal loss, the Tigers led 17-15 at halftime after shutting out Stanfield in the second quarter.

But they were outscored 28-17 in the second half.

Thompson had 10 points, Makenna Vierck eight and Makiah Vierck seven for Bandon.

Zuri Reeser had 12 points, Alexis Mallory 11 and Maggie Sharp 10 for Stanfield. Gervais beat Stanfield 3721 in the title game.

Banks wins first girls basketball title

By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COOS BAY — For the first time in school history, Banks is the girls state basketball champion.

The Braves weathered an early 11-0 run by league rival Corbett, pulling ahead in the second half to beat the Cardinals 47-38 in the 3A OSAA/ On-Point Community Credit Union state tournament at Marshfield High School on Saturday night.

“This is so surreal,” said Banks senior Hailey Evans as she and her teammates celebrated following the win. “This is so awesome.

“I’m just so proud of my team.”

The teams are familiar foes, having met three times in the Coast Valley League season. Each won on its home floor and Corbett won the title game in the league playoffs. And Corbett was No. 1 and Banks No. 3 in the final coaches poll (Banks was No. 1 and Corbett No. 3 in the OSAA rankings).

Given the similarity, Banks was not surprised at Corbett’s fast start. The Cardinals burst out of the gate to an 11-0 lead behind 3-pointers from Lilly Schimel, Taylor Donahue and Ella Holwege (By the end of the first quarter, Maddie Lanter had a 3-pointer for the Cardinals as well).

Banks finally got on the board on a jumper by Jocelyn Janecek nearly four minutes into the game and the Braves didn’t panic.

“We knew Corbett can go on a run,” said Alex Saunders, adding that the Cardinals had done just that the previous two meetings. “We knew how to respond to that. We responded really well.”

“They are streaky shooters,” Banks coach Nick Rizzo added. “You’ve just got to weather those storms.

“We knew that was going to happen at some point.”

Banks started to get the ball inside to Saunders and Madison Walker to chip away at the lead.

And the Braves largely held Corbett in check the rest of the way, earning praise from their coach.

“We held Corbett to 38 points,” Rizzo said. “To do

that is unreal.”

It was the first time all year the Cardinals didn’t reach at least 40 and the Braves did it in an unusual way.

“We played man-to-man all game long,” Rizzo said. “We are a zone team.”

The defensive scheme worked and the offense did its part.

The Braves pulled within 21-20 by halftime and had their first lead at 24-22 on a layin by Walker with 5:30 to go in the third. Corbett never led again, but it wasn’t until a big surge by Evans in the fourth quarter that Banks got any type of comfortable margin.

She hit two 3-pointers and scored 13 of her 17 points in the final eight minutes.

“This is a team game,” Evans said. “They have confidence in me and I have confidence in them.

“I started feeling it.”

Rizzo said in the second half Evans and Madyson Bigsby gave the Braves a huge lift.

“Our posts carried us in the first half,” he said. “Our guards stepped up big in the second half.”

Evans was the only Banks player to finish in double figures, though Walker had nine points and 10 rebounds, Saunders scored eight points and Bigsby had seven. Janecek had six points and four assists.

“It was a great game,” said Saunders, who was named to the all-tournament first team (Walker was on the second team). “We put all our hearts on the floor.”

She said the Braves did a good job pushing the ball and working as a team.

“In the end, it came down to how much we wanted to win,” she said.

Corbett coach Bill Schimel was understandably disappointed, but said the Braves did what they needed to do.

“You’ve got to give Banks credit,” he said. “They hit some big shots. Every time we made a run, they made shots.”

Corbett had played for the 4A title last winter on the same floor, coming up short against Philomath, and dreamed of finishing the job this time.

“It’s just tough,” he said. “We really had our sights set on (winning the title).”

The Cardinals stayed with their starting five for all but the final few seconds of the first half and all of them made at least one 3-pointer, but Corbett shot just 24 percent overall.

“We had a good start and the shots went away,” Bill Schimel said.

Ally Schimel led the Cardinals with 12 points and Lilly Schimel had nine points and nine rebounds. Donahue scored eight and Holwege six (to go with nine boards).

All four of those players are back next year, but their coach felt for the team’s lone senior, Lanter, who played a key role in Corbett reaching the final by locking down Sutherlin star Micah Wicks a night earlier.

“We have a senior who really wanted to win,” he said.

He hopes, when the pain of the loss goes away, the Cardinals appreciate what they accomplished, including beating defending champion Nyssa and avenging a regular-season loss to Sutherlin in the semifinals.

“There’s a lot to be proud of,” he said. “It hurts too much to think of that now.”

Notes: The other players on the all-tournament first team were Wicks and Nyssa star Gracie Johnson, both unanimous selections by the coaches. The second team also included Santiam Christian’s Tayla Yost, Lakeview’s Kenna Stratton, Claire Crawford of Pleasant Hill and Amity’s Eliza Nisly. Amity won the sportsmanship award.

THIRD PLACE: Sutherlin finally got off to a good offensive start and then used its defense to beat Santiam Christian 46-31 in the thirdplace game.

The Bulldogs, who didn’t have a field goal in the first quarter of their quarterfinal win over Pleasant Hill or semifinal loss to Corbett, outscored the Eagles 15-5 in the first quarter and held on from there.

Micah Wicks had 12 points, Addyson Clark 11 and

Not the problem

John, you sound like someone who is a bit resentful of living ‘paycheck to paycheck’. Not that you shouldn’t be.

The millions of Americans in your view, are in reality the majority of Americans. Living that paycheck to paycheck, without enough paycheck to actually live.

Homelessness, rough sleeping it’s called in the UK, is a symptom of the problem. Some of the folks you’re talking about were reduced to living on the street because of substance abuse, namely illegal drugs. For every one of those, there are five or more who got there by other routes and for different reasons. Some of them may become drug addicts because of the experience. A few.

But most will not. They’ll be too busy working at finding food, shelter, warmth if possible. A safe place to sleep. It’s a full-time job, living on the street. And sometimes it’ll drive a participant who otherwise was fully functional societal-wise into a mental breakdown, psychosis.

I’ll venture a guess that you have never experienced living on the street for any great length of time. Labeling all homeless as drug addicts, as if that was enough to disregard them as human beings altogether, is immoral. It’s ugly and wrong. And, it draws attention away from the problem. Homeless people are not the problem John.

When you hear “Ulysses S. Grant,” what comes to mind? The more scholarly minded probably think, “Victor at Appomattox” or “18th president of the United States.” Big drunk, and even bigger cigar smoker, are also top answers. Yes, the old Yankee could drink to excess. Though in fairness, he only drank when he was lonely, depressed and stuck with too much time on his hands. Whenever that happened, they sent for Mrs. Grant and the boozing stopped.

As for his love of stogies, he was history’s original Cigar Aficionado. Here’s how it began.

For the first half of his life, Grant smoked something different. A woman who had been a slave on the farm he worked outside St. Louis later recalled, “He smoked a pipe, which his wife threw away whenever she could find it. She detested the pipe. … At that time he chewed tobacco excessively also.”

Fast forward to winter 1862.

Grant cooked up a bold plan for a combined army-naval assault on the Confederate strongholds of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson. They protected the Tennessee and

Cumberland rivers, the gateway to Nashville.

The brass in Washington green-lighted the operation. Fort Henry easily fell after a naval bombardment on February 6. Most of its men retreated a dozen miles to the other fort.

Donelson was a different story. Bigger and stronger with more defenders, it was a tougher nut to crack. The naval flotilla tried again on February 14, but the gunboats were pushed back. Their commander, flag officer Andrew Foote, was seriously wounded in his foot. (Foote’s foot; how’s that for irony?)

The next day, Foote asked Grant to confer with him on his flagship as he recovered. Foote offered the general a cigar, which Grant lit up as he rode back to headquarters.

Years later, Grant described what came next.

“I was met by a staff officer, who announced the enemy was making a vigorous attack. I galloped forward and while riding among the troops giving directions for repelling the assault, I carried the cigar in my hand. It had gone out, but it seems I continued to hold it between my fingers throughout the battle.”

The Yankees repulsed the Confederates, and the next morning the Rebels surrendered.

Capturing Fort Donelson was a big deal. Grant had won the Union’s first major victory, also becoming the first general since Washington to capture an entire enemy army. People celebrated across the North. The

Your City Government Is Likely Cooking the Books, Watchdog Group Says

By GREGORY BRESIGER InsideSources.com

If you live in one of America’s biggest cities, it’s likely your municipal government cooks the books, overestimating money coming in and undercounting bills.

Truth in Accounting (TIA) released its latest report, “Financial State of the Cities 2023,” earlier this month. New York is the worst city, but Boston and Philadelphia also received failing grades.

Many cities mislead taxpayers, TIA watchdogs say.

“What we find is they take their books and they hide the true cost of government by not putting all their compensation costs in their budgets,” said Sheila Weinberg, a certified public accountant and TIA founder.

TIA assigned a grade of A to F for each city based on the average taxpayer obligation. A or B means each taxpayer has a surplus of between $1 to $10,000. C to F means there is an average taxpayer burden. Boston was given a D; Philadelphia an F.

“Philadelphia’s elected officials have repeatedly made financial decisions that left the city with a debt burden of $11.9 billion. That burden came to $21,800 for every city taxpayer,” the report said.

Boston wasn’t as bad, but its books aren’t balancing either. The city has a debt burden of $2.4 billion. “That burden came to $9,500 for every city taxpayer. Boston’s financial problems stem, mostly from unfunded retirement obligations that have accumulated over the years,” according to the report.

And the Big Apple? New York has the worst financial record in the United States, leaving each taxpayer with a $56,900 tab and earning the city an F.

“The most common accounting trick cities use is to hide employee benefits — such as healthcare, life insurance and pensions — from the current budgeting process by not acknowledging they exist.

“Cities become obligated to pay for these benefits as employees earn them. Although these retirement benefits will not be paid until the employees retire, they still represent current compensation costs because they were earned and incurred

throughout the employees’ tenure,” TIA reports.

The study examined the cities’ spending practices and unreported liabilities. Fifty municipalities didn’t have enough money to pay all bills at the end of the last fiscal year, even though they presented themselves as having balanced budgets. “To balance their budgets, elected officials did not include the full/entire cost of the government in their budget calculations and pushed costs onto future taxpayers,” according to the report.

Unlike the federal government, cities must balance budgets, yet many don’t, the study said. It cited accounting gimmicks: Inflating revenue assumptions. Counting borrowed money as income. Delaying payment of current bills until the start of the next fiscal year.

Weinberg contends most cities pay debts on a “pay-as-you-go basis.” The near-term problem, she adds, is sometimes disguised by bull markets as well as recent federal government COVID payments. She cautioned a recent bull market can make a city’s bottom line seem healthy, but “in a bear market it will be in a lot of trouble.” Cities, she adds, should lower investment return expectations.

But all hope is not lost.

Irvine, Calif., has consistently remained in TIA’s top five, with a taxpayer surplus of $5,400. And Los Angeles managed to jump from 44th to number four in city rankings for low taxpayer liability — though it may be temporary.

Part of the improvement came from COVID stimulus money from the federal government. And the booming 2021 stock market helped, too.

“The result was a dramatic decrease in the city’s pension liability and a corresponding increase in its money available to pay future bills,” according to the report. “Unfortunately, the city’s 2022 results will be adversely affected by the negative investment earnings experienced by two of its pension systems.”

Chicago Tribune said the Windy City “reeled mad with joy.”

But amid the elation, there was a major error. As Grant himself explained, “In the account published in the papers I was represented as smoking a cigar in the midst of the conflict; and many persons, no doubt thinking tobacco was my chief solace, sent me boxes of the choicest brands. As many as ten thousand were soon received.”

Think about that: 10,000 cigars!

They came with notes of appreciation. One said, “You keep winning victories and I’ll keep sending cigars.”

Grant “regifted” them on a wholesale basis. But he couldn’t keep pace with the deluge. A practical man, he eventually decided, “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.”

Grant put away his pipe, explaining, “I naturally smoked more (cigars) than I would have under ordinary circumstances, and have done so ever since.”

That was an understatement.

From then on, soldiers rarely saw Grant without a cigar clamped in his mouth. It reached the point where he was smoking 20 stogies every day (almost one per hour). When the Confederate stronghold of Vicksburg fell the following year, Grant was smoking a cigar as he rode off to accept its surrender.

Ironically, as word of his cigar addiction spread, Grant took pains to avoid being photographed while smoking. In fact, only one such image is known to exist.

Meanwhile, the gift boxes kept coming. Grant told a fellow general, “There is one good thing about being the Commanding General. You get the best cigars.”

And yet, some people had problems with Grant’s habit. Consider the open letter to him in a Massachusetts newspaper: “We pray you to abandon your cigar on behalf of young America. … Our boys, General! What shall we do with these expanding millions? We had a sufficiency of these young volcanoes before, but your example, running like wildfire, has kindled ten thousand more.”

Still, by the time Grant ran for president in 1868, his supporters sang a popular campaign song called “A’smokin’ My Old Cigar.” (They just don’t write ditties like that anymore.)

All that puffing eventually took its toll. And the illness it produced brought out the best in Grant as a man.

After leaving the White House in 1877, Grant was swindled out of his life savings by fraudulent investors. It left him flat broke.

Just when things couldn’t get worse for the aging general and ex-president, he was diagnosed with throat cancer. Thousands upon thousands of cigars had finally caught up with him.

Terminally ill and nearly destitute, there was nothing he could leave his wife. (That was decades before former presidents received a pension.) But Grant had one last

J. Mark Powell

thing of value.

Battling increasingly intense pain, he set about writing “The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant,” finishing it just days before his death at age 62 in 1885. It sold more than 300,000 copies, earning nearly half a million dollars and guaranteeing his widow, Julia, would spend the rest of her life in comfort.

Thus ended the journey that had begun 23 years earlier with the innocent question, “Care for a cigar, general?”

A graveside service for Carol Irene Moore will be held Wednesday, March 8, 2023 at 1:30 PM at Holy Trinity Catholic Cemetery, 173 Harlem St SE, Bandon, OR.

Carol Irene Moore was born November 14, 1944 at Santa Barbara, California to William J. and Irene Moore, the first child of a family of eight, and passed away in her Bandon home in Pacific View Memory Care at age 78. She was raised in Pleasant Hill, California. Carol possessed an intense nature and passionate spirit as well as a tremendous appreciation for beauty and a deep longing for meaning. She lived most of her life in the San Francisco Bay Area until she came to Bandon, Oregon in 2011 to be closer to her family. She married Ray Farsi in San Francisco during 1964 and bore two daughters, Nadine and Natalie. In her most recent years, Carol was able to recover a sense of peace and security through the tender

and loving care of her daughters, siblings, residents and staff of Pacific View. She became a favorite of many of her caregivers.

Carol lived her life independently, searching for beauty and adventure. She found both in nature and the outdoors, hiking many trails in Yosemite and returning to her favorite places along the Merced River many times. She felt great joy to have rafted the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon and explored Big Sur. Long hikes included the Wild and Scenic Rogue River Trail and the Santiago de Compostela in France and Spain. Carol enjoyed nature photography, music and performance arts. She used drawing and journaling as a path to spiritual understanding. Carol reconnected to the Catholic Church in her later life.

She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Karen Logan; and brother, Shawn Moore. Carol is survived by her daughters, Nadine

The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated.

Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7).

Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell

the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $8,104.69 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $72,670.21

Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-today, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 7/1/2022, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/ or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION F/K/A QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 6/20/2023 at the hour of 10:00AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, Inside the main lobby of the Coos County Courthouse, located at 250 N Baxter St, Coquille, OR 97423 County of COOS, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and

interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Pursuant to Oregon Law, this sale will not be deemed final until the Trustee’s deed has been issued by QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION

F/K/A QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON. If any irregularities are discovered within 10 days of the date of this sale, the trustee will rescind the sale, return the buyer’s money and take further action as necessary. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

Marshfield

Barker carried the Pirates offensively with her best outing of the season, pouring in 24 points.

The entire team played phenomenal defense, harassing the Indians into repeated turnovers and generally doing a good job slowing a good shooting club.

“They had a lot of turnovers and they don’t usually do that,” Miles said. “And they have great shooters and we did a good job getting out on them.”

Molalla made enough shots to keep the game relatively close all the way.

The Indians’ only basket in the second quarter was a 3-pointer at the buzzer by Anna Parker that pulled them within 23-12 and they trimmed the lead to six points a few times and five once in the second half, but Marshfield always extended it back out.

“We picked it up on

Maddie Fields had 14 points and Tayla Yost nine for Santiam Christian, which started the tournament with a rally from a 17-0 deficit against Amity in the quarterfinals before losing to Banks in the semifinals.

For a while, it looked like they might have a similar comeback story Saturday.

defense,” said Marshfield senior Kate Miles, the coach’s daughter. “Our intensity was high and we were going after the ball.

“And we had people who made shots when we needed them. Trinity was amazing tonight.”

Barker had four 3-pointers, plus a variety of drives to the hoop to break out offensively.

“The past couple games I was rushing it, forcing it,” she said. “Tonight I was relaxed, took my time, and if the shot was there, I took it. I played smart.”

Paige Macduff added 12 points for the Pirates and Miles scored six. Parker led Molalla with 13 points. Now the Pirates look ahead to the state tournament.

“If we can keep getting better, we can do some things up there,” Doug Miles said.

Marshfield beat the Hornets in the Skyline/Sky-Em Crossover and also handed top-ranked Baker its only loss to another Class 4A team in the Stayton tournament. Baker beat Klamath Union 56-36 on Friday and will face Madras, which won at Cascade 50-41. Madras beat

Crook County and Philomath were both in Marshfield’s holiday tournament (neither played Marshfield and both lost to Astoria).

The Warriors bounced back after a heartbreaking quarterfinal loss to Santiam Christian, when Amity scored the first 17 points, to beat Lakeview in the consolation semifinals and then Pleasant Hill.

“Coach has been talking about resiliency,” said Eliza Nisly. “That’s been our theme this season.

was in the state tournament, the current seniors were eighth-graders. That doesn’t mean they don’t have tournament experience. Several of them were part of the volleyball state champions last fall, and they would love a similar run in Forest Grove.

“That is the plan,” said Kate Miles, who was on the champion squad. “We have players with state tournament experience now and we should be able to go up there and perform.”

The Pirates could use more defensive performances like Friday’s.

“We definitely worked together tonight as a team,” Barker said.

She was not part of the volleyball team, and has only been with Marshfield this year after transferring from North Bend, but she is thrilled to get a chance to be in the state tournament.

“I’m definitely excited,” she said. “We’ve got to keep focused, stay aggressive and work together.”

Saralynn Grove added eight and Adie Nisly seven.

The Warriors have three seniors but start the Nisley twins and sophomores Grove and Mya Haarsma. They left the Bay Area looking ahead with their young group.

“It just makes us really excited for the years to come,” Eliza Nisly said. “It’s going to be really fun the next few years.”

Claire Crawford had 11 points and 10 rebounds for Pleasant Hill, which entered the tournament with just one loss but settled for sixth place a year after winning just two league games.

“We came here hoping to make a good showing,” Pleasant Hill coach Kim Beer said. “We’re pretty happy right now. We get to take some hardware home.”

OES used hot outside shooting to build a 29-18 lead just over three minutes into the second quarter, hitting seven of their first nine 3-point attempts and scoring the first 11 points of the second.

The shooting cooled down some the rest of the way, but the Aardvarks finished at 51.9 percent overall and made 10 of 21 from 3-point range for the game.

“We know when we’re hitting our shots, we’re a tough team to beat,” Forney said.

Levi Edelman led the Aardvarks with 27 points, hitting three 3-pointers and six of his seven free throws down the stretch, helping OES fight off every challenge from the Knights.

Joe Schwalbach made four of the 3-pointers and finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds in the win.

Forney added 11 points and eight assists and Henry Gewecke also scored 11.

Jaylen Hill led De La Salle North Catholic with 28 points and 12 rebounds.

Quincy Aranda added 16 points and Elliot Ball-Dowling 10.

FOURTH PLACE:

Creswell used hot shooting to beat Banks 64-51 to take the fourth-place trophy.

The Bulldogs shot 80 percent in the first quarter, including three 3-pointers, to jump in front 23-14 and stayed there the entire way.

Creswell shot 57 percent for the game and 63 percent (7-for-11) from 3-point range in the win.

“I felt like we went on the run De La Salle went on against us,” Creswell coach Jesse Thomas said, referring back to the quarterfinal loss to the Knights on Thursday.

“Connor (Hanson) was unbelievable that first half.”

Hanson was unbelievable all game, finishing 5-for-5 from 3-point range and scoring 19 points.

“It was awesome,” said Hanson, adding that everything he put up looked good. “It was just coming to me.”

Creswell also shot well in its consolation semifinals win over Dayton.

Banks advanced to the trophy game by beating Pleasant Hill after losing on the opening day to Oregon Episcopal.

AJ Hodge also scored 19 points and Max Velarde had 14 points, seven assists and six rebounds.

Ian Bodine had 21 points and Ben Mayo 13 for Banks, which also shot well at 48 percent, though the Braves were just 4-for-15 from 3-point range.
