The World
The future is looking bright for Bandon High School senior Daniel Cabrera. His commitment to promoting diversity in his community awarded him a national scholarship.
Out of hundreds of applicants, Cabrera was one of five students who were selected to each be awarded a $2,000 Diversity Scholarship by National Society of High School Scholars.

The Coos Bay City Council held a regular meeting on Tuesday, March 7.
The council heard a presentation on Marshfield High School from Harper Thompson. Thompson gave some overall updates for the high school. The first item he recognized was that Marshfield hosted the OSAA 3A Basketball Tournament for the 17th year. The event gave Marshfield High School club

local and Oregon economy.
COOS COUNTY
Coos County total payroll employment fell by 460 jobs in January, according to the Oregon Employment Department.
Job losses were estimated in leisure and hospitality (-70); professional and business services (-70); construction (-50); retail trade (-40); and transportation, warehousing, and utilities (-40). Government employment fell by 130, due to a decline of 130 jobs in local government education.
Coos County added 390 payroll jobs over the past year. Gains were posted in professional and business services (+120); leisure and hospitality (+70); and transportation, warehousing, and utilities (+40).
Industries with estimated job losses over the year were construction (-70), other services (-30), and mining and logging (-20). Government employment climbed by 260 jobs with gains in local government excluding education and tribal (+140) and Indian tribal (+110).
Curry County payroll employment fell by 110 jobs in January. Both leisure and hospitality, and retail trade shed 30 jobs over the month. Government employment added 10 jobs over the month. Other published industries showed little change in January.
Over the past year, Curry County payroll employment fell by 40 jobs. Losses were estimated in leisure
and hospitality (-130), manufacturing (-20), and professional and business services (-20). A few industries added jobs since January 2022 including retail trade (+50), other services (+30), and health care (+20).
STATEWIDE
Oregon’s unemployment rate was 4.8% in January, matching Oregon’s revised 4.8% unemployment rates for October, November, and December 2022.
The last time Oregon’s unemployment rate was more than 4.8% was in July 2021 when the rate was 5.1%. In January, the U.S. unemployment rate was 3.4%, its lowest level in more than 50 years. Annual revisions to the data, released this month, indicate that Oregon’s unemployment rate was higher than originally estimated last year, and payroll employment growth was slightly slower.
In Oregon, nonfarm payroll employment rose by 9,900 jobs in January, following a gain of 5,600 jobs in December. Monthly job gains in 2022 averaged 5,600.
GAINS AND LOSSES
The gains in January were largest in health care and social assistance (+2,200 jobs); professional and business services (+1,800); and leisure and hospitality (+1,400). The only major industry with a job loss in January was private educational services (-600).
Health care and social assistance expanded its workforce rapidly during July 2022 through January 2023. During that time, it added 4,500 jobs, to reach a total of 271,800 jobs. Prior to that there had been little net job change compared with early 2021. Over the most

Douglas County Welcomes New Solid Waste Director
Douglas County Commissioners Tom Kress, Chris Boice and Tim Freeman are pleased to announce that Nick Frisinger has been hired as the new Director for the Douglas County Solid Waste Department. Frisinger joined the Solid Waste Team in January and has been settling into his new position. Prior to hiring Frisinger, Scott Adams, who in addition to his job duties as the Douglas County Public Works Director, has been the acting Interim Douglas County Solid Waste Director since 2017. Adams will continue in his role as the Public Works Director, which over sees the Public Works Department, Natural Resources, Engineering, Fleet and Operations & Maintenance
Senate Republicans Criticize Extreme Bill Allowing Convicted Felons Including Murderers and Rapists to Vote While in Prison
SALEM, Ore. – Today, the Senate Committee on Judiciary held a work session on Senate Bill 579, an extreme bill allowing incarcerated criminals to vote in Oregon elections before completing their sentences. It passed along party lines with a 3-2 vote.
“This is truly an egregious bill that should have never seen the light of day. It blatantly disrespects victims of crime, and we stand united in fighting to ensure victims are treated with the dignity they deserve,” said Senate Re-
publican Leader Tim Knopp (R-Bend).
“Some may not know that once felons complete their sentences, their right to vote in Oregon is restored. This often encourages individuals to rejoin their communities as responsible, law-abiding citizens,” said Deputy Leader Kim Thatcher (R-Keizer), Vice-Chair of the Senate Committee on Judiciary. “If passed, SB 579 will impede accountability and disincentivize character rehabilitation. That is extremely concerning.”
“Should our criminal justice system prioritize the rights of victims or the rights of convicted criminals?
This misplaced compassion punishes victims of crime. Both sides of the equation need to be considered and SB 579 fails to do that,” added Senator Dennis Linthicum (R-Klamath Falls), member of the Senate Committee on Judiciary.
“If this is the kind of legislation the majority considers ‘bipartisan’, it’s going to be a long and bumpy road to sine die,” concluded Knopp.
Divisions. Frisinger previously worked as a Project Manager at ROMTEC Utilities in Roseburg and as the Logistics Supervisor at Marathon Petroleum Refinery in Martinez, California. He brings with him extensive knowledge in industry program management, as well as a background in the waste and utility trade. Frisinger studied Business Management at California Polytechnic Institute in San Luis Obispo, California. He is married to Kristi and they have a fouryear-old daughter.
“I am pleased to say that we have achieved great things in our Solid Waste Program over the past six years in order to bring it to where it is today. But,
as with any program, there is still so much more we hope to accomplish. We are thrilled about hiring Nick and also about promoting individuals to our management team,” stated Scott Adams, Public Works Director.
In addition to Frisinger, the Douglas County Solid Waste Department has also undergone some management restructuring. As a part of the restructure they established two new Division Manager positions, Landfill Operations Manager and Transfer Site Division Manager. Josh Klein, a twenty-one year veteran employee of the Solid Waste Department was promoted to Landfill Operations Manager. Garrett Lampton, who is relatively new to Douglas
County Solid Waste, but has over 19 years of waste management experience was promoted to Transfer Site Division Manager. Furthermore, they have promoted Chris McGuire to Landfill Operations Supervisor and Tanesha Brookbank to Transfer Site Operations Supervisor, both have worked for the Douglas County Solid Waste Department for 10 and 9 years respectively. They all will bring many years of refuse expertise to the operations that they will now lead.
“We are very excited about the future of our Solid Waste Program, and look forward to what Nick and his team will bring to the table,” commented Board Chair and Liaison Commissioner, Tom Kress.
Food Waste and the Climate Crisis: What to know & what to do
In 2022, the U.S. department of Agriculture stated: “Food loss and waste … exacerbates the climate crisis with its significant GHG footprint. Production, transportation, and handling of food generate significant carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and when food ends up in landfills, it generates methane, [which is] an even more potent greenhouse gas.”
A 2021 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency report concluded that “each year, U.S. food loss and waste embodies 170 million metric tons of climate pollution–
equal to the annual CO2 emissions of 42 coal-fired power plants.” This doesn’t even take landfill methane into account.
To learn more about food waste and what we can do to address it, join Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) at their March 28th General Meeting online from 6:00 to 7:00pm. This month’s topic is “Food Waste and the Climate Crisis: What to Know & What to Do” with featured speakers Flavia Franco of Southern Oregon Food Solutions, Jeanette Hardison of the Corvallis
Sustainability Coalition, and Ellie Cosgrove of Rogue Valley Farm 2 School. There is no charge for joining the ZOOM meeting, but participants must register at the link on the SOCAN calendar event: socan.eco/ food-waste. In response to the food waste problem April 10 – 16 has been designated as ‘Food Waste Prevention Week’ nationwide. In order to raise awareness and to engage with folks about solutions. Oregon’s Department of Environmental Quality is a sponsor of this campaign.

with exceptional people. I thank everyone who made the OSAA 3A Basketball State Championship such a success,” said Senator Anderson (R-Lincoln City).
“Coos Bay is near and dear to my heart. Throughout my life, I have had a chance to experience all this community has to offer – and boy, is that a lot. I could not be prouder to be the State Representative for House District 9 and the marvelous community of Coos Bay,” said Representative Boomer Wright (R-Reedsport). Senator David Brock Smith (R-Port Orford) and Representative Court Boice (R-Gold Beach) represent neighboring coastal communities where many constituents go to enjoy the amenities of Coos Bay. They extend their sincerest appreciation.
Craddock said that a presentation regarding potential new locations for the library and the project cost would be presented to the council at the next meeting. After a brief discussion with council members, the City Manager’s report concluded. Council comment followed. Councilor Stephanie Kilmer gave details about the homeless stakeholder meeting she attended in North Bend. Councilor Rob Miles recognized Lieutenant Doug Vetter for his 30 years of service to the city. Councilor
Lucinda DiNovo gave an update for the kickoff meeting of the Wayfinding signage in downtown Coos Bay. DiNovo said that three new signs were discussed in the meeting. They hope to fund these signs through urban renewal dollars and grant money. Councilor
Carmen Matthews drew attention to the Energy Resiliency Planning Grant.
Following the council’s comments, Mayor Joe Benetti thanked the city staff and announced a clean-up project at John Topits Park Saturday, March 11.
Boice Announces His Opposition to SB 603
Representative Court Boice (R-Gold Beach) announced his position on SB 603, the legislation proposed by Senator Wlnsvey Campos (D-Aloha), which has caught the eye of several national media headlines.
Senate Bill 603 would give homeless or low-income individuals in Oregon $1,000 a month for two years. The program would have $25 million to
work with, and enrollment would be capped once that money runs out.
According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, at least 18,000 individuals were homeless in a single night in Oregon in 2022. “At a time when inflation is over 8 percent and a dozen eggs costs more than a gallon of gas, this $25 million is an additional burden Oregon taxpayers
should not have to bear. One of the House Republicans’ priorities for the 2023 Legislative Session is fiscal responsibility, nothing about this proposed legislation is responsible,” stated Representative Boice (R-Gold Beach). Oregon’s House District 1 includes Coos, Curry, and a portion of Douglas County.
History of Oregon Ornithology coming to Bandon
Much of what is known about birds and their behavior is a result of citizen’s science including the efforts of many volunteers right here in Coos County.
The study of birds was, in its early years, often driven by passionate amateurs in a
localized context. A History of Oregon Ornithology takes readers from the Lewis and Clark expedition, through the professionalization of the field, and to the mid-twentieth century, focusing on how birding and related amateur field observation grew out-

Marshfield girls place fifth at state tournament
The World Marshfield’s girls placed fifth in the Class 4A state tournament at Forest Grove, winning their quarterfinal game before losing in the semifinals and in the thirdplace contest.
The Pirates led all the way beating Henley 57-48 in their first game, opening a 20-10 advantage through one quarter and never letting the Hornets back in the contest.
Kate Miles had a big game with 19 points, including hitting seven free throws, while Trinity Barker added 12 and Tatum Montiel 11 in the win.
Miles also grabbed eight rebounds and Montiel picked up six. In the semifinals against eventual champion Baker, the Pirates played even with the Bulldogs for the first quarter, but couldn’t keep up in a 4527 loss.
Miles and Paige Macduff had 10 points each and Macduff also grabbed six rebounds, but Baker star Jozie Ramos was too big a force for the Pirates.
Ramos had 24 points, hitting 12 of her 14 free throws and six of her eight shots.
Baker edged Gladstone 60-56 in the championship game Saturday night, with
Ramos scoring 28 points and grabbing nine rebounds.
Marshfield, meanwhile, ended up facing Astoria for the fourth time this season in the third-place contest Saturday.
Unfortunately, the game ended just like the first three, with Marshfield on the losing end, 51-34.
The Pirates got off to a slow start, trailing 9-2 through one quarter.
Marshfield pulled within two a couple of times in the second quarter but Astoria pulled ahead and the Pirates couldn’t close the gap.
Macduff scored 13 points and had nine rebounds and Miles finished with 10 points for the Pirates.
Miles was named to the all-tournament first team for the Pirates, who had a strong season, sharing the Sky-Em League title with Marist Catholic.
“It’s definitely not what we wanted, but still a huge accomplishment,” Miles said of the state tournament and Marshfield’s season as a whole.
Henley ended up losing to 2022 champion Philomath 54-50 in the fourth-place game.
The Sky-Em League had two trophy winners in the
boys tournament.
Junction City came up short of a state title in the final year of coach Craig Rothenberger’s legendary
career, losing to Cascade in the semifinals and ultimately finishing third. The Tigers beat Henley 64-56 in the third-place
game. Marist Catholic, meanwhile, placed sixth, losing to Crook County 52-47 in the fourth-place game.
Cascade repeated as boys state champion, beating league rival Philomath 61-52 in the title game Saturday night.

SWOCC men win opener at NWAC tourney
The World
The Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s basketball team came from behind to earn a spot in the Elite Eight at the NWAC tournament with a 73-70 win over Green River Community College on Saturday.
SWOCC surged in front with a 17-0 run early in the second half. Green River had a 44-34 lead when the burst started.
Zach Jefferson made a layup, Cody Nixon had a 3-pointer after
a steal, Merrick Sherwood had a 3-pointer after a Green River miss, Onwaja Thomas tied the game after a Green River miss and Sherwood put the Lakers in front with another 3-pointer following a miss by the Gators.
Thomas had two more free throws and Matthew Oryang had a jump shot to give the Lakers a 5144 lead before Green River finally scored again, snapping the Gators’ four-minute drought.
The Lakers led by 11 after another Sherwood 3-pointer with 3:33 to
go before Green River came storming back, ultimately pulling within one point on a 3-pointer by Isaiah Dahl with eight seconds to go. But Jefferson got behind Green River’s defense for a dunk and the Gators missed a last-second 3-pointer that could have forced overtime.
The Lakers played Columbia Basin, a 77-73 winner over Peninsula on Sunday for a spot in the final four (results were not available).
Thomas finished with 19 points and Sherwood had 18 for the Lakers, hitting five of his six 3-pointers.
O’shen Cazimero scored 11 and Jefferson had nine. Between them, the four combined to shoot 15-for19 from the free throw line.
SWOCC also connected on nine of 18 3-pointers in the game, helping turn the tide in the Lakers’ favor. Logan Prince had two of the 3-pointers.
Green River shot slightly better than the Lakers overall, but made just four of 16 3-pointers.
Peyton Norland led Green River with 18 points.
The teams had met earlier in the
season, with Green River topping the Lakers 99-76 at the North Idaho crossover.
South Region champion Clackamas beat South Puget Sound 70-66 in its first-round game and topped Edmonds 89-73 in the quarterfinals to reach the final four. They will face Everett in the semifinals on Saturday, March 18.
The South Region’s other two teams lost their first games. Umpqua fell to Lower Columbia 81-69 and Tacoma beat Linn-Benton 76-69.
Library friends looking for ideas for book collection
The World
The Friends of the Coquille Library Foundation Inc, (FOCL) successfully ran a bookstore on West 1st Street in Coquille from March 2021 to early January 2022 with books donated from the general public or the Coquille Library. The bookstore was open for business Tue - Sat, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. even throughout the pandemic, and was staffed by a dedicated team of about 15 community volunteers, and the FOCL Board Members. 100 percent of the sales were deposited into the FOCL bank account — $10,626 earned in total during the 10 months the store was open. All funds raised by the FOCL are used to support Library programs such as the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, and to assist in the renovation of the new library in Coquille.
The store had a large selection of fiction in both paperback and hardcover, a dedicated children’s section, an impressive collection of westerns, and a smaller selection
of reference books on a range of topics, such as sports, history, biographies, and gardening. We also had a selection of movies, audio books, and music CDs, and some wonderful coffee table books. Our customers appreciated the attention to detail shown by FOCL board members and volunteers in organizing the store prior to opening. All books were alphabetically organized by author; a time-consuming task, but one that reflected the dedication of the FOCL Board to win customer loyalty and encourage volunteers to help our cause. We also sold T-shirts and book bags from the store to generate further income.
Unfortunately, in early January 2022 the building sustained devastating weather damage following a powerful windstorm. We lost most of our paperback collection to water damage from an exposed hole in the ceiling, but thanks again to a team of hardy volunteers, we were able to box up the undamaged inventory into approximately 340 boxes and
remove all the shelving, which the FOCL Board had purchased for the store. Ultimately the building was razed.
Since the closing of the store, FOCL board members have been searching for a suitable location in Coquille to reopen the store, without success. In the interim, the books have been housed in a private storage facility generously donated by two loyal customers of the store, and most of the shelves are stored in a board member’s double garage. We are so appreciative of their support in offering their space to store our inventory. Since we have been unsuccessful in finding a suitable store location, the time has come for the FOCL board members to discuss next steps and decide
on what to do with all the donated books and approximately 40 wooden shelving units. One option discussed by the Board is to find a large temporary space to display the books while simultaneously holding ‘book sales’ to try and sell as much inventory as we can. Another option is to find a used bookstore within Oregon willing to take all the books and shelves; no small task.
Prior to the bookstore, the city generously allowed us to store our books at the Jefferson School, but that is no longer an option. The board members are open to suggestions.
The FOCL board members would like to thank all community members who volunteered, shopped, and supported our Book Nook book
store, and thanks to Paul Recanzone and his Family for allowing us to open a store in their building. On behalf of the FOCL board members, we can say that we did it all for the Coquille Library. Each and every one of us is a huge supporter of the Coquille Library, and of course, we are all avid readers.
If anyone reading this is interested in joining the FOCL Board, or if they have any suggestions for the FOCL board members on suitable space, please contact the Library Director, Teresa Lucas at 541396-2166. She will pass on your message.

The Woman Who Created Kids’ Television
By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com
Before there was “Sesame Street” …
Before there was “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” …
Before there was “Romper Room”
…
Before there was “Captain Kangaroo”
…
There was Miss Frances and “Ding Dong School.” The show not only was the first in its genre, it literally created children’s television — and it set the bar very high, too. Let’s hop into the Wayback Machine and revisit 1952.
Television was brand new back then. TV stations were launching all over the country, and big, cumbersome televisions were popping up inside more and more American homes.
Judith Waller was the public service and educational programming director at WNBQTV in Chicago. Most local stations
produced hours of programming daily, far more than they do now.
As Waller was talking with her boss one day, he noted that with the Baby Boom in full swing, there were more than 235,000 preschool children in the Chicago area. Then he pointedly asked, “What are you going to do about it?”
Waller rolled into action. She devised a nursery school program designed to teach tykes watching at home. Because viewers would be little people, the show used six cameras that shot from angles toddlers would see. All props would be easily recognizable to little children.
Auditions were held for the program’s host. Frances Horwich was one of the educators who tried out for the gig. A woman of a certain age with a kindly disposition, she headed a local college’s education department. She lacked showbiz experience but had once taught nursery school. While being alone on set for a full hour each day scared her, she thought, “Why not?” and gave it a try.
She was soon hired to be “Miss Frances,” AND then successfully negotiated to own the rights to the show. When the producer’s 3-yearold son was told each episode would begin with an old-fashioned teacher’s desk bell ringing, he blurted out, “Ding Dong Show!” They had the program’s title.
A pilot episode was filmed. One
horrified station executive said the show was so bad it would kill television and make viewers listen to the radio again. So it was decided to air the program just once. WNBQ didn’t issue a press release announcing it or promoting it in any way. They figured they’d let it die of its own embarrassment.
And so, with no fanfare, “Ding Ding School” made its debut on Thursday morning, October 2, 1952. Primitive by today’s hi-tech standards, it began with a closeup of Miss Frances’ hand ringing the aforementioned bell, followed by a cheesy studio organ playing the show’s equally cheesy theme song.
Miss Frances sang in a warbly voice that was better suited for a country church choir than television:
“I’m your school bell ding dong ding; boys and girls all hear me ring. Every time I ding dong ding, come with me to play and sing.”
Then she jumped into the lesson. Miss Frances talked like she was speaking to actual children. “How are you, boys and girls? What are you doing today? (Pause.) Really? That’s good!”
WNBQ’s big brass cringed for an hour until the show ended. No
one expected what came next. The station’s switchboard was flooded with more than 150 calls in 45 minutes as parents told how their kids loved the program. That was nothing compared to the tidal wave of enthusiastic fan mail that followed.
“Ding Dong School” instantly became part of WNBQ’s morning lineup five days a week. It was such a hit that NBC picked it up in 1953 and broadcast it nationally. Miss Frances even became a TV star. More than 12,000 children and parents attended a promotional event in Boston. When she and her husband flew to Florida for a vacation, kids on the plane recognized her — and sang the show’s theme song over and over all the way to Miami. (Likely making it history’s most miserable flight for the other passengers.)
But TV is a cutthroat business. Despite its success, NBC canceled “Ding Dong School” in 1956 for the more lucrative “The Price Is Right.” The show continued in syndication until 1965.
Miss Frances eventually moved to Arizona, where she dabbled in local public television until her death in 2001 at age 94.
Children’s television is one of broadcasting’s few success stories. And it’s largely due to the huge influence of a teacher and her little bell.

Opinion: Latinos Deserve Better Health Care; So Does Everyone Else
America may offer some of the best healthcare in the world. But doctors’ appointments are still too hard to make. Certain prescription medicines are too expensive. Prices are obscure. And finding the proper care and coverage is confusing, making shopping around almost impossible. Inflation has exacerbated all these burdens, and each one falls especially hard on America’s Hispanic community.
Latinos are more than three times as likely as Whites to be uninsured. They disproportionately suffer chronic conditions, have less access to care, and experience worse health outcomes. Latino families’ lower incomes make them more vulnerable to high drug costs, and they even have less access to telehealth services.
In Washington, problems like these are held up as reasons for the government to exert more power over the healthcare system. But in every case, it’s patients who lack the power and bear the brunt
of poorly designed public policy. None of this is lost on Latinos, many whose families emigrated from countries where government-controlled healthcare hurts the quality of life.
Rather than empowering Washington, true healthcare reform should empower everyone else: patients, families, workers and small businesses, doctors, and nurses. We don’t need single-payer schemes like the “public option.” We need a Personal Option for healthcare, especially reforms to expand access to care, lower prices, end surprises and shore up safety nets for those most in need.
Everyone shares these aspirations. But only reforms that empower patients with more cost certainty and control over their care can deliver them. Government control drives prices upward, like college tuition or hospital bills. It also restricts access, as in the rationing of care and intolerable wait times in nations with single-payer health systems.
By contrast, consumer empowerment and competition spur quality
improvements and drive prices down. Look at how affordable televisions and cell phones are today, despite being more technologically advanced than ever. It has nothing to do with businesses’ greed or compassion — it’s purely about the incentives they face when consumers have choices and competitors are free.
The Personal Option health reform platform would establish those incentives in the healthcare system.
First, that means expanding Americans’ access to tax-free health savings accounts — which now only 10 percent of Americans can get — and then broadening the categories of healthcare expenses the health savings accounts can pay for.
Second, the COVID-19 emergency showed how well healthcare can be delivered remotely. It also showed how much better the Food and Drug Administration can serve patients by streamlining drug approval processes and allowing the use of “off-label” prescription therapies. Rather than “going back” to the old rules from before the pandemic, Congress should make
these COVID-era reforms permanent.
Next, as we empower patients to seek and pay for care however it best suits them, we should encourage healthcare providers to compete with those consumers in new and innovative ways.
The government should not limit the number of hospitals or prohibit doctors and nurses from owning them themselves. Congress should allow Americans to access prescription medicines approved by other nations we trust. And states should reduce regulatory barriers so medical professionals can deliver care across state lines, including via telehealth.
Congress should allow employer groups, trade associations and nonprofit membership organizations to offer discount health insurance plans to their members — just like large businesses do. And everyone should be allowed to purchase healthcare plans tailored to their needs, such as short-term renewable plans that typically cost less than half as much as traditional insurance and are popular with plan holders.
Finally, in this environment of innovation and competition, Congress should restore today’s overgrown and fraud-prone Medicaid program to its original mission as a safety net for the truly vulnerable. And let’s give those vulnerable low-income families more choice, control and dignity by giving them health savings accounts funded with some of the same Medicaid money that today goes directly to insurance companies.
The Latino community disproportionately suffers from the current system’s access, pricing and transparency problems. They stand to gain disproportionately from personalized health reforms that put patients and doctors, instead of the government, in charge of our medical decisions.
For Latinos, and all patients, it’s time for American healthcare to go from being the best in the world to becoming the best it can be.

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.

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.

Additionally, as a student aid, he translated his school’s documents and flyers into Spanish before they were publicized – something he was told by community members was a great help.
“I have seen the need for inclusivity and diversity in my community and have taken steps to make these changes a reality. As I leave Bandon and enter college, I plan to keep promoting diversity and inclusivity in whatever community or environment I find myself in,” Cabrera said.
National Society of High School Scholars representative Sarah Ciuba described Cabrera’s story as inspiring. She said the NSHSS program offers a lifetime of benefits that begin for students in high school and carry on throughout college and careers.
Cabrera said he is looking forward to going to a University after he graduates from High School, and he has some exciting prospects in
the works.
“I’m not sure what college I’m going to yet. I’ve been accepted to University of Oregon. But, I’ve also applied to schools like Harvard and Yale, and had interviews with those schools,” Cabrera said.
“It was nerve-racking but a fun experience. I find out about my acceptance to those schools on March 30,” he said.
Cabrera said some of his favorite high school experiences, along with participating in cross country and track, was getting involved with the Diversity in Forensics Community Organization.
This national student-led program works to promote diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion in the forensics community. Cabrera said he has been interested in the program since he was a freshman. And as a senior he was selected to become a mentor

“People can judge you for something you don’t have control over - whether it’s the way you dress or an accent,” Cabrera said.
“As a mentor now, we meet to make inclusive rules for students who perhaps don’t have the money to buy a suit, or for students who have a disability and need accommodation.

Engelke proclaiming “Brain Injury Awareness Month” in the City of North Bend. This was done in the presence of Bittin Duggan, who worked to secure this proclamation.
City Administrator David Milliron gave an update that the Coos County Board of Commissioners declared a state of emergency on March
7. According to Milliron, this is the first step in securing funding from the state to address the issue of homelessness. Milliron gave details on a homeless coordination force, a task force representing Coos Bay, North Bend, and Coos County. There is $1 million attached to the task force, according to Milliron, and the county has hired Andrew Brainard as the point of contact for the task force.
Milliron then gave an update on the “Sip and Stroll” event on St. Paddy’s day. The next day on March 18, the city will host the St. Paddy’s block party, featuring the dance band Captain Blue. The event will be from 3-6, and there will be food trucks from 11-7 local performers from 12-2, and this will be followed by a “Clover Pub Crawl.”
Milliron detailed the turnout for the Townhall held Monday, March 6. Milliron emphasized the importance of crafting an ordinance before June 1. This was the final item in Milliron’s report.
Council Comments
During council comment following the City Administrator’s report, Councilor Eric Gleason announced that the regular business meeting on March 21 would be his last as a council member and that he will resign after that. Gleason said he and his family will be moving away from the area.
“We are moving out of the area, which is bittersweet for me because I love my community, and have strived to serve my community in any possible way I can,” Gleason said.
Many of the councilors gave their thoughts on Monday’s Town Hall meeting results. There were just over 300 participants, according to councilors and staff. While the council still wants to get more of the community involved in the discussion, they did feel that progress is being made regarding a homeless ordinance.
Next, City Attorney Mark Wolf updated the council with a new version of the performance evaluation criteria form. Wolf made some changes to scoring for different categories and suggested Monday, March 13, as the return date for the councilors’ evaluation forms. Councilor Gleason motioned for the City Administrator 2023 Performance Evaluation to be returned by March 13 and for the council to offer former councilors Richardson and Slater the opportunity to make an evaluation as well. This motion was approved unanimously.

FieldTest CANDIDATES WANTED
You may be qualified to participate in a special Field Test of NEW hearing instrument technology being held at a local test site!
An industry leader in digital hearing devices is sponsoring a product field test in your area next week, and they are selecting 15 qualified candidates to participate! They are interested in determining the benefits of GENIUS™ 5.0 Technology in eliminating the difficulty hearing aid users experience in complex environments, such as those with background noise or multiple talkers. Candidates in other test areas have reported very positive feedback so far.
We are looking for additional candidates in Florence and the surrounding areas.
In an effort to accurately demonstrate the incredible performance of these devices, specially trained representatives will be conducting testing and demonstrations during this special event. In addition to an audiometric hearing evaluation, candidates will receive a fiber-optic otoscope exam, a painless procedure that could reveal common hearing problems such as excessive wax or damage to the eardrum, as well as other common causes of hearing deficiencies.

• Are at least 55 years of age or older
Have experienced some level of hearing difficulty, or currently wear hearing aids
• Don’t currently work for a market research company
• Must Call Before March 16th, 2023 and Mention Code: 23MarFT
We have also been authorized to offer significant discounts if you decide to take the hearing instruments home. If you choose not to keep them, there’s no risk or obligation of any kind.†
TO PARTICIPATE:
