McGaughy hired as Coos Bay superintendent By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Coos Bay School District officially has a new leader. After a months-long search, the school board voted to hire Charis McGaughy as the district’s new superintendent. McGaughy will take the position July 1 after Bryan Trendell officially retires. McGaughy was one of two finalists that met with the community and answered questions two weeks ago. Nanette Hagan, the current superintendent of the Myrtle Point School District, was the second finalist. McGaughy currently serves as the interim superintendent of the South Coast Education Service District in Coos Bay. She previously served as the assistant superintendent for instruction for seven years in the Eugene school district. “Dr. McGaughy will be a wonderful addition to our school district,” said board Vice Chair Kim Brick. During the public meeting, McGaughy said she applied for the superintendent post in Coos Bay because she and her husband love the community and want to remain her permanently. “I love small, coastal communities,” she said. “I graduated

from one. I believe Coos Bay School District is the shining star in the area.” McGaughy said one of her goals as superintendent will be to increase partnerships between the school district and the community. She explained that public schools cannot always meet every need of a student, but by working with others, the partnership can make a big difference in students’ lives. “My vision for every student is building a comprehensive community wrap around so we know every child’s name and needs so we can meet those needs.” McGaughy received her master's degree from the University of Texas at Austin in public affairs. She received doctoral degree in educational leadership, policy and organizations from Vanderbilt University. “It’s an honor to accept this position, and I am excited to work with this team,” McGaughy said after receiving the job. As she prepares to become the superintendent of the Coos Bay School District, McGaughy said her philosophy toward public education will remain the same as it was when she started as a classroom teacher. “Always putting students first,” she said. “That’s my heart.”

Bond, tax issues to be on May ballot By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

In addition to voting on candidates for two county commission seats and a county clerk, Coos County voters will have three propositions to consider in the May 17 primary election. Countywide, voters will be asked to decide whether or not to implement a 9.5% tax on shortterm lodging in the Charleston area, just outside of Coos Bay. While the vote is countywide, the tax would only be added to short-term stays in Charleston, impacting those staying in hotels, motels, campgrounds and short-term home rentals like AirBnB's. The tax would only be charged to people staying less than 30 days and would impact Charleston, Cape Arago and places like Sunset Beach. Revenue generated by the tax will be spent on the promotion of tourism and the provision of county services. If passed, 70% of the tax revenue would be spent on the promotion of tourism and tourism-related facilities in Charleston with 30% going into a fund to pay for public safety and cleanup efforts in Charleston. The Charleston tax will appear on the ballot as Measure 6-194. In Coos Bay, voters will decide whether to approve a property tax to build a new library and 9-1-1 communications center. The ballot asks voters to allow the city to sell $20 million in general obligation bonds to fund the construction at Topits Park. If approved, the money will fund the construction of a 32,700-square-foot library and 9-1-1 dispatch center. The new Please see Ballot Page A2

Members of the North Bend City Council get a close up look at the aging infrastructure at the North Bend City Pool last year. The council voted to accept a bid to replace the pump, filter, heating system and some piping.

North Bend accepts bid for pool repair By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Work will soon begin on replacing the aging infrastructure at the North Bend City Pool. On Tuesday, the City Council voted unanimously to accept a

bid from West Coast Contractors to replace the pump, filter, heating elements and some piping, much of which is original to when the pool first opened. The bid came in higher than anticipated, but the council decided with increasing costs

everywhere, it was time to bite the bullet and get to work on repairing the pool. The North Bend City Pool has been closed since the end of 2021 to repair the aging infrastructure, but during the first round of bidding, no company

placed a bid. The bid from West Coast Contractors came in at $781,819, of which $50,000 is contingency. Finance Director Jessica Terra told the council the city budgeted Please see Pool Page A2

Lawmakers seek federal funding for port By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Six of Oregon’s seven Congressional members are going to bat to bring in funding to help the Port of Coos Bay bring a container port to Coos Bay. On Wednesday, the federal representatives sent a letter to Pres. Joe Biden, asking that federal funds in the Infrastructure

Investments and Jobs Act be allocated toward supporting the efforts of the port. In the letter, the lawmakers highlight the importance of investing in the country’s rural ports to address supply chain issues, create jobs and increase economic productivity, and how this project specifically will produce significant environmental benefits.

Coach arrested for sexual corruption of a minor An Oregon community college basketball coach has been arrested and lodged in the Douglas County Jail on charges relating to using a child in display of sexually explicit conduct. In early January of 2022, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office opened a criminal investigation into the potential criminal activities of 35-year-old Nathan "Nate" Ezell Bowie of Portland. Bowie is the head coach for the Mt. Hood Community College men's basketball team. Additionally, Bowie travels in and out of the state of Oregon hosting basketball camps and clinics. In November 2021, Bowie participated in a basketball clinic at Glide High School. During the clinic at Glide, Bowie encouraged the female athletes to follow him on his social media account. He later used his connection with at least one minor female from that camp to strike up

a social media relationship. Bowie began soliciting intimate images and Nathan "Nate" videos Ezell Bowie from the juvenile and at one point planned to meet with her for the purpose of having a sexual encounter while in Douglas County representing Mt. Hood Community College. Detectives executed search warrants which revealed evidence of criminal acts involving the minor female. On Thursday, March 10, detectives contacted Bowie and took him into custody on two counts of using a child in display of sexually graphic content and one count of online sexual corruption of a minor in the first degree.

phases 1 and 2, which will allow the pool to reopen. Much of the funding is thanks to a grant of $350,000 from the Judith Ann Mogan Foundation. "We budgeted this for $625,000," said Public Works Director Ralph Dunham. "Since that time, the price of diesel has gone up 64%. We received a bid of $781,000, of which $50,000 is contingency. It's actually 20% over our budget. We think it's a fair bid." The bid came in 30 minutes before the deadline Monday and was opened live as the city council held a work session. "We have a bid. That's better than what we had before," City Administrator David Milliron said Monday. "We're going to work with our public works, our former pool manager and our finance director and come back to you tomorrow. "Were going to figure out how to get this done. What we're going through right now is unprecedented. Everything is going up. This is as real as you get. Everything is affected. The

good thing is we got a bid." On Tuesday, Dunham and Terra told the council the staff recommendation was to accept the bid before prices go even higher. "From a budget standpoint, we had $940,000 budgeted for phases 1, 2 and 3," Terra said. "Since this came in a little higher for phase 1, we will have to take a look at our 2023 budget for phase 3. At this point, we think we will have enough money for phase 2." City Recorder KayLee Marone, the former pool manager, told the council South Coast Contractors is an excellent firm that recently completed a similar overhaul of a pool in Washington. Milliron explained repairing the old pool is not easy and may still take some time. He said getting supplies like a new pump and filter will take a while. "It's not a matter of going down to Home Depot and buying a pump," he explained. "You just can't do that. There's only five manufacturers in the world that make this."

Milliron told the council while the price was higher than anticipated, he felt it was right to move forward to get the pool open as soon as possible. "There are a lot of things going up," he said. "The reality is the costs are affecting everybody. It's very difficult to get contractor's to bid on something when they don't know what the price of fuel will be. No one has a magic globe to figure out what is going to happen." But even with doubts, Milliron said it is time to get to work so the community can use the pool. "This governing body made a promise to citizens and you made a directive to staff," he said. "So we are working the numbers and we will come back at some point. We are going to do this as swiftly as we can. We have phase 2 out for bid and then we'll move to phase 3." Councilor Pat Goll made a motion to accept the bid and Councilor Susanna Noordhoff offered a second. The council voted unanimously to accept the bid.

There is simply no other place on the West Coast where that level of additional capacity can be achieved. The fact that the Port of Coos Bay is located in a rural area makes this project all the more important.

Years ago, DeFazio and the two U.S. senators worked with the port to secure funding to help the port purchase the Coos

Bay rail lines, which were going to be pulled up. The rail line, which is now fully owned by the port, is a key element in making a container facility a possibility in the Coos Bay area. The International Port of Coos Bay has already purchased property that would house the container facility and is working with the federal delegation to secure funding and needed improvements to the port to make the facility a possibility.

Guest Opinion

A dangerous game of chicken on the Colorado River By Kyle Roerink Seven Western states and their leaders - all depending on water from the Colorado River - remain divided. Split into basins by an imaginary border at Lees Ferry, Arizona, each state can share blame for the rapid depletion of reservoirs that once held over four years’ flow of the Colorado River. But now, Lake Powell and Lake Mead edge closer to empty. With water Kyle Roerink savings gone, the Lower Basin has been trying to cope, though the Upper Basin carries on business as usual. Meanwhile, 40 millions Americans depend on flows from this over-diverted river. So far, leaders in the Upper Basin states of Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming appear to be hoping that their counterparts will agree to use less water. This is hardly a useful strategy and seems a lot like a dangerous game of chicken. It is the Lower Basin states of Arizona, Nevada and California that have taken the brunt of low flows. Thanks to a series of agreements between 2007 and 2021, by the end of this year the three states will curtail their river use by more than 1 million acre-feet --325 billion gallons. But it’s likely these cuts won’t change much. Federal data released last month predict that Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the nation and the Lower Basin’s water saving’s account, will continue to lose water for years to come. Lake Powell, the Upper Basin’s saving’s account, is also vulnerable. But that raises the obvious question: What are Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico doing to limit their water use and conserve? The answer is not much. In the Upper Basin’s four states there are no self-imposed curtailments of Colorado River allocations — no blockbuster, big-city conservation initiatives, and there are no real signs that all leaders are convinced that climate change is not only happening but also a major threat to the region. More discouraging is that in 2016, the interstate collective of Upper Basin officials, known as the Upper Colorado River Commission, officially decided to take more water out of the river. That decision stands today. Some of the largest projects on the Upper Basin’s wish list include the Lake Powell Pipeline, Green River Block Exchange, Wolf Creek Reservoir, and the Fontenelle Dam expansion. These proposed projects would drain billions of gallons from the system, reports the nonprofit Save the Colorado. Does anyone think that water exists? The Bureau of Reclamation, which manages the Colorado River’s infrastructure, released a report in mid-February that predicts Lake Mead will drop another 30 feet by the end of 2023 –– leaving the reservoir 160 feet lower than in the year 2000. It also predicts more cuts for Nevada and Arizona’s share of the river, as well as for California In the Upper Basin, where the Colorado River begins, no cuts are proposed. And according to a new report from the Utah River’s Council, a non-profit fiscal and water watchdog, most of the Upper Basin States continue to use more than their share of the river, even though drought and aridity have reduced river flows, While the three Lower Basin states use more water than the drought-stricken Colorado can deliver annually, leaders in Arizona, Nevada and California share a spirit of sacrifice when it comes to limiting water use. From my experience running a nonprofit river-protection group, I know that collaboration toward these efforts represents a resolve to act. The Lower Basin states, for example, are working to fund a water-recycling facility near Los Angeles. The plant would reduce California’s reliance on the Colorado River and give Nevada and Arizona some of that river water in return for their joint funding. Collaborations like this need to start happening in the Upper Basin, but where are the examples? Water managers in both basins tell folks they are doing their best to deal with the river’s decline, but only the Lower Basin’s actions can be quantified. It’s time for the Upper Basin to blink in this game of chicken and ensure equitable and prudent uses of the river. The lines dividing the states are invisible, but bathtub rings on Lake Powell and Lake Mead are all too visible.

Letters to the Editor Private forest accord is nothing short of a 'takings'

Learn a lot about South Slough

This letter is written by a third generation rancher and forest manager who owns and operates an Oregon Century Ranch business. I have seen more lean years than better years, but I enjoy the lifestyle and working the land. This 2022 Legislative Short Session made me angry with the passage of the Private Forest Accord (PFA) legislation (SB 1501 and SB 1502). As a small forestry owner, the PFA legislation TAKES the use of over 14% of my timber production without compensation. The small forest owner “tax credit” is minimal and comes with an irrevocable deed restriction. We have only logged 120 acres of our timberland which is covered with all ages of trees. During our lifetime, we have planted over 143,000 Douglas fir seedlings. Our timber property is well managed having good roads and it is well stocked with trees and grass. I cannot understand why politicians, big timber, and ENGO’s think they know how to best manage my property. I understand the corporate timber companies supported the Private Forest Accord in lieu of “lawsuits by environmentalists.” Where is the signed written commitment from the environmentalists that they will not sue for “50” years and not propose more regulation for forestry? The buffers are supposed to help bring back fish. I believe if you want to increase numbers of fish, you need to control the predators. The obvious solution is to stop harming and killing the endangered fish yet people can buy licenses and tags so they can “take” those endangered fish. There needs to be an increase in fish hatchery programs. I protect endangered fish on our property by not allowing people to cross my property to fish the streams. The government is literally TAKING my trees and property use and it is the last straw. I have done my share for the benefit of fish and wildlife and the Accord wants more. Why don’t you, supporters of SB 1501 and SB 1502, do something to directly increase fish population rather than TAKING my land.

Some of my earliest memories involve hiking out at the South Slough. As a child, I was completely enamored with the wooden bridges, swaying grasses and sparkling water that stretched further than the eye could see. Estuaries are known for being biodiverse and highly productive ecosystems, providing food and recreation for humans and a home to many species. In Coos County, we’re blessed to have these rich natural and cultural resources available - and if you’ve ever wanted to learn more about our local estuarine ecosystem, there’s an exciting opportunity available. Every fourth Thursday at 5:30 p.m. from February through July, Rogue Climate, Coast Range Forest Watch, the Coos Bay Surfriders and Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition are hosting a webinar series to dive into all that makes our bay incredible. The next webinar in the series is on Thursday, March 24 at 5:30 p.m. and focuses on Native people in the Coos Bay Estuary.

My lawsuit against North Bend

over my removal from committee assignments has concluded. The Circuit Court judge found that council violated Oregon Public Meetings Law by not adding the matter to the agenda, instead taking a vote under ‘Other Business’ when I was not present. Council complied with the supplemental judgment to reimburse my filing fee. I believe that my lawsuit will stop the city’s occasional placement of potentially controversial matters under ‘Other Business’ or ‘Committee Reports’ rather than on the publicly posted agenda: On Feb. 26, 2019, under ‘Other Business,’ council approved Resolution 3258 by a 4 to 3 vote, adding a $15 Public Safety fee to everyone’s monthly water bill. This fee was overturned. On April 9, 2019, under ‘Council Committee Reports,’ council gave permission for Parks Superintendent Owen to work with the disc golf club to create a nine-hole course in Ferry Road Park. A 400-signature petition in opposition ensued. On March 10, 2020, under ‘Other Business,’ council permitted Superintendent Owen to seek bids on removing 19 trees from Simpson Park. A public outcry ensued. A previous Parks Master Plan had promoted the lovely space as an arboretum. Plans for a sizable parking lot pushed the new playground to the large redwood, which was then removed for dropping needles into the playground. The parking lot was never built. Direction from our new city attorney is that ‘Other Business’ is for emergency use only. Public Meetings Law requires posting the agenda in advance of a public meeting, though it may be amended at the start of the meeting. North Bend’s ‘Council Rules’ ordinance requires the mayor to call for council discussion between a motion and second, and a council vote. No councilor should be forced to wait until ‘council comment’ to speak for or against an ordinance because the mayor rushed to the vote, as happened on April 13, 2021. Finally, voicing a strong, reasoned opinion on any business brought before council does not equate to a ‘Lack of Decorum.’ Susanna Noordhoff Councilor North Bend

A tale of two rural Western counties By Dave Marston Why would rural Delta County, Colorado, say no to a solar farm that would enrich the county by $13 million over 15 years, at roughly the same time neighboring Montrose County said yes to a solar farm that might power nothing but the energy-draining cryptocurrency industry? In early March, Delta County commissioners voted 2-1 to deny a 472-acre solar array built by Guzman Energy, a move that would help shift the local rural electric cooperative, Delta-Montrose Electric Association, (DMEA) to clean energy. Many locals found the no vote not only mystifying but also infuriating. Unlike Guzman Energy, which financed DMEA’s exit from its former power supplier, Tri State Generation and Transmission, the business called Co Mine 1 Landco LLC in Montrose is secretive, though crypto mining, aka validating cryptocurrency transactions, is the likely use, according to the Colorado Sun. The Sun points out that the company’s vagueness failed to trouble the Montrose County Planning Commission, which recently approved CO Mine 1 Landco LLC’s land-use change. As for Guzman’s failure in Delta County, “The problem is some (people) got political, just because it was solar,” says Delta County Commissioner Don Suppes, the sole yes vote. “We’re sending the wrong message that we don’t want people investing in Delta County,” he says. Delta County is culturally split. Up valley, in the North Fork of the Gunnison Valley, residents support solar power and there is a thriving solar installation school, Solar Energy International, in the town of Paonia. Down valley is a more conservative, row-cropping, and family-values community. The County votes 70 percent Republican. But the consensus, at least until now, was that the electrical co-op was a local champion, serving both Delta and Montrose with electrical power and fast Internet. Producing electrical power from home is the holy grail of the energy transition, so Guzman’s plans seemed tailored to Delta County, a right to farm community. Sheep could graze among the solar panels, says Suppes, and “it was still grazing

— just as critical as row crops.” How did these two counties, neighbors with similar geography, come to hold such starkly different worldviews? You could say that Montrose County started with a deprived childhood. When white families forced out the Indigenous tribes and moved into Western Colorado in the late 1800s, Delta County prospered. Some came equipped, backed by Eastern money, with nothing more than pick, shovel, or if lucky -- mule scrapers. They dug miles of ditches below the West Elk Mountain range that brought water down for imported fruit trees. Coal in those same mountains was found early and mined. Meanwhile, Montrose was left in their dust. No pick or shovel could divert water that simply did not exist in the barren Uncompahgre Valley. Montrose land speculators’ lobbying efforts paid off in 1909, when the Bureau of Reclamation finished the Gunnison Tunnel, sending 500,000 acre-feet of Gunnison River water annually to Montrose County, turning the valley into an agricultural force. Right now, the two counties are neck and neck based on household income, though Montrose County is better at creating jobs. Its major town, Montrose, bustles with outdoor equipment businesses and an airport favored by the resort town of Telluride. Delta County, in its North Fork, boasts vineyards and organic agriculture, a sizable number of internet

workers, and a growing summer tourist trade. But Delta County still chases Montrose when it comes to economic growth. “Delta has a long history of turning stuff away that ends up in Montrose,” says Suppes, pointing out that in 1973, Russell Stover Candies wanted to build its factory (closed in 2020), in Delta but was turned down, so chose Montrose. In the early 1980s, Louisiana-Pacific (LP) looked in the Delta-Montrose area for an oriented strand board plant (OSB) location. Manufacturing OSB — a substitute for plywood — involves brewing toxic resins with wood chips. LP chose Montrose County, which agreed with the caveat, legend has it, that the giant glue factory situate far from downtown Montrose. The Delta-Montrose County line, where the plant landed, is just seven miles from the town of Delta compared to 14 miles from Montrose. Like it or not, Delta got the criminally polluting factory, now closed. The former LP plant now hosts the crypto mine. In Delta County, Guzman is certain to keep looking for a home for its solar farm, and Commissioner Suppes is convinced that now, Delta will say yes. Perhaps this time Delta County can get both the solar plant and the tax revenue.

OBITUARIES Dr. Devin Mikael Brice

Lola J. Walker Solomon

October 14,1981 – March 9, 2022

April 1, 1936 – February 14, 2022

A celebration of life will be held for Dr. Devin Mikael Brice, 40, Coos Bay, at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 19, 2022 at Coquille High School, 499 West Central Boulevard, Coquille.

Officiants for the service will be Pastor David Scanlon of the Coos Bay Four Square Church, and Pastor David Woodruff of Skyline Baptist Church, North Bend. Dr. Brice attended Skyline Baptist Church in North Bend, with his family. Survivors include his widow, Hanh Huu Hong Hoang and three sons, Donald Huu Brice, Jet Huu Brice, and Archer Huu Brice, all of Coos Bay; his mother, Mary Woolley, his father Harold Brice Jr. and stepmother, Renee Marineau, all of Coquille. He is also survived by his brother, Derek and April Brice of San Clemente, California; and sister, Dana and Jason Cox of Roseburg.

After attending Coquille Schools from Kindergarten through 11th grade, Dr. Brice graduated from Marshfield High School in 2000. The decision to change schools was made by Dr. Brice, as his percussion mentor and band teacher, Mr. Gary Wiese had retired. During middle school and high school, Dr. Brice played with many school and community ensembles, including at the Coquille Christian Community Church. He was named the state’s top jazz drummer his 11th grade year. His love of jazz music continued his entire life. He continued to play his drum set with many ensembles and at the Oregon Coast Music Festival. Setting out on the path to dentistry that he had decided on by sixth grade,

he attended Southwestern Oregon Community College for one year, then transferred to Oregon State University where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in general science in 2004. He studied abroad in England for a semester during his junior year while at Oregon State University. It was also at Oregon State University that Dr. Brice met his future wife, in a microbiology laboratory class. They were married on September 2, 2006. Dr. Brice attended Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland beginning in 2004 and earned his doctorate of dental medicine in 2008. Dr. Brice moved back to Coos County to begin his dental career while living near his parents. He purchased multiple dental practices over the years, starting with the purchase of Apple Dental in 2009, which was relocated, expanded, and rebranded as Above Dental in 2016. Dr. Brice’s practice implemented a program of buying back Halloween candy from children and encouraging them to save for their education. His practice also offered free dental services one day a year. Dr. Brice was a supporter of numerous local charities and fundraising efforts. Dr. Brice was a lifelong learner who wanted to provide the best possible service to his patients. To do this he aggressively pursued postdental-school certifications early in his career. He was a long-time clinical instructor for the Oregon Implant Continuum. He was extremely generous in sharing his knowledge with patients and with other dentists. He enjoyed and excelled at many outdoor sporting activities, including mountain biking, water-skiing, barefoot skiing, jet-skiing, surfing, kiteboarding, snowboarding, and driving his sand rail in the dunes. He even enjoyed riding unicycles with a local group. He loved the outdoors, especially at the family lake house, improving the facilities there and enjoying the natural surroundings. He was a world traveler, studying abroad, and practicing his Vietnamese while motor-biking through Vietnam. He visited Vietnam several times, including during his last summer in dental school when he spent several weeks volunteering at a dental

clinic. He enjoyed trips with, and to visit, his family and friends all over the Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, California, and Texas, as well as abroad to Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Sri Lanka, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands, Portugal, Japan, and Mexico. He was a skilled carpenter and woodworker and created many items for his homes, including furniture and art installations. He designed the operatories and the instrument-airsupply systems for the Above Dental building, constructed in 2016. Dr. Brice will be remembered for his boundless energy and enthusiasm; his amicable and outgoing nature and ability to quickly make friends; his focused pursuit of excellence in everything he put his attention to, from hobbies to the practice of dentistry, from building a business to fixing things around the office and the house; for his frequent and often elaborate pranks; but most of all for his love for his family and his wife, and his hands-on approach to raising his three boys. They were his constant companions. Dr. Brice is also survived by his aunts and uncles, Patty and Ross Sisson, Bend; Paul and Sharron Farr, Coos Bay; Rebecca Fields, Coos Bay; Judith and Gene Critchfield, Kansas City, Missouri; Ramona Rohrs, Memphis, Tennessee; as well as first-cousinonce-removed, Jay Farr and Victoria Farr Crumbpacker, Coos Bay; and Linda Farr, Stony Brook, New York.

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

YOUNG MAN'S EATING HABITS ARE MORE TROUGH THAN TABLE

DEAR ABBY: My stepson "Ryan" is an active senior in high school. He's a great kid, and I love him. I'm proud and delighted that he says he loves my home-cooked meals, which he doesn't get at his mother's house. They eat a lot of takeout or premade foods. Not everyone likes to cook, so I don't judge. My concern is Ryan eats his food at an alarming speed, especially if it's something soft, like lasagna or casseroles. His plate is nearly finished before anyone else has more than a couple bites of theirs. I don't want to shame or embarrass him, but it seems unhealthy for his digestion and possibly even dangerous with certain foods. It's also very unpleasant to watch. Last night, Ryan inhaled an entire enchilada in two or three bites swallowed whole. He didn't chew once. My husband will gently tell Ryan to slow down if I give him a well-timed look. Otherwise, he seems unfazed by it. Ryan frequently eats most of a serving dish of something if we don't point out that others might want seconds, too. I hesitate to make a big deal out of it because he's a great kid, and my husband is a wonderful father, outside of not teaching his son good eating habits. Ryan was a chubby little boy, but has become tall and lean after a huge growth spurt. I feel bad saying this, but I'm grossed out and worried at the same time. Your guidance is appreciated. -- COOKING STEPMOM IN THE WEST DEAR STEPMOM: It is years late, but please have a serious talk with your husband about the fact that his son never learned basic table manners. From your description, he eats like an animal. He seems to not only be eating too much, but also too fast, which is visually

unappealing as well as unhealthy. Table manners are important. Not having them could have a negative impact on his social life and even his career in the future. Please point this out to your husband and to Ryan, because it's important they both hear it. It may take reinforcement and constant reminding, so be prepared. DEAR ABBY: My wife's 90th birthday is coming up soon. Our younger daughter is giving her a birthday party at a nice restaurant and inviting only women. When I asked her why I wasn't invited, she said the party will be "more fun" with only ladies. I don't understand or agree with this. I would enjoy visiting with the ladies. What do you think about her decision? I think it stinks. -- NOT INVITED IN TEXAS DEAR NOT INVITED: I "think" this decision should have been made by your wife as well as your daughter. At your ages, there's no guarantee how many more birthdays you will have together, and for you to be summarily excluded seems wrong to me. If this is a ladies' luncheon, it's possible "the girls" will enjoy celebrating without their husbands -- if they are lucky enough to still have husbands. Because this milestone birthday is one you would like to celebrate with your wife, why not take her out for a special dinner -- just the two of you -- or include your children, grandchildren, great-grandkids, etc., and make it a family affair? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Bandon Cranberry Chronicles: March is for frost protection By Sean Doyle Guest Article

For the Bandon cranberry community, farmers across America and people everywhere, Spring is the time of rebirth, a new beginning. It is a season full of hope and promise. This Spring is extra special because we can now begin to take the masks off and say hello to healthier times. The COVID winter is over. It is time to re-emerge, re-engage, to start shaking hands again and visit friends. It is safer to be out in crowds, it is OK to feel good, to hug and hold again. It is time to embrace spring. For Bandon cranberry farmers, there is great danger in the Spring. When the temperature drops below freezing, in the dark of night, unprotected budding cranberries can be severely damaged and lost. Bandon cranberry farmers are on alert in March. Frost protection is the number one priority. The developing buds must be protected from the night-time freeze. Make a mistake in March and there will be a diminished harvest in November. How do you fight the ice man who strikes at 3 a.m.? How do you protect budding berries from damage when the temperature drops below 32 degrees? Bandon cranberry farmers know how to fight the cold; their weapon is clean fresh water. Farmers install thermostats in the bogs that monitor the temperature at ground level. When it gets too cold these instruments send a signal that activates the pumps which push water through the sprinkler systems. The water flows through the sprinklers to the various bogs, rotating in 10-minute intervals. This process protects the buds when they are most fragile in the Spring. Along with frost protection, the other Spring mandate on Bandon cranberry farms is rejuvenation. The bogs must be repaired, prepared and protected from deer and elk. In the cranberry bogs, the year begins in February with “sprinklers and stakes.” The sprinkler heads that water the fields, are removed from the bogs in the fall to allow for harvest. In February and March, those sprinkler heads are reattached to the water pipes that run under the fields. The

Heavy equipment sits near a Bandon cranberry bog after a local farmer completed work on his bog. Springtime is a time when many farmers do the heavy work needed to prepare for an ample harvest. Below, ice covers cranberry plants after a recent freeze forced farmers to flood their fields to protect the growing plants. sprinkler heads are then taped to wood stakes to keep them snug for eiight months of watering. Installing sprinklers adroitly takes soft hands and a good eye. The pumps that drive the water from the ponds through the pipes to the sprinklers are critical. In the Spring, the pumps and pipes must be checked and tested because as one farmer explained, “Everything that was working great last Fall, doesn’t always work right in the Spring.” In the pumphouse you are always looking for leaks. Most Bandon bogs are filled with mature vines. Locally there are different variations of Stevens vines, Yellow River vines and other types. Occasionally new bogs are planted, and new vines are introduced. Some with the promise of 2X crop yields (Hello Mullica Queens). Replant-

ing a bog involves scraping the field, removing the old vines, re-sanding and replanting. It takes optimism, determination, and courage (common features among Bandon cranberry farmers) to rebuild a bog and try a new type of vine. Fences keep the deer out and they must be repaired and rebuilt in the Spring. Fence building involves splitting logs, digging holes, and hanging wire…… YIKES. Other Spring chores call for cleaning out ditches, pulling weeds, shoring up the dykes that surround the bogs and double-checking irrigation. Bandon cranberry farmers work hard in March to protect and prepare their bogs. They test everything, every day, because on the farm.……tools, machines, pumps, and thermostats, don’t always work right in the Spring.

Bandon students earn full-ride caddy scholarships Eleven students from the state of Oregon, including four from Bandon, have been awarded the Evans Scholarship, a prestigious full housing and tuition college grant offered to golf caddies, following a selection interview held Feb. 17. Each caddie has a unique story that reflects the scholarship’s four selection criteria: a strong caddie record, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need and outstanding character. They will begin college this fall as Evans Scholars at the University of Oregon in Eugene. The Evans Scholarship is valued

at more than $120,000 over four years. The winners from Bandon all worked as Bandon Dunes. They are Hunter Angove, Trevor Angove, Ansen Converse and Andrew Robertson. The remaining caddies awarded came from Beaverton, McMinniville and Portland. “These young men and women are part of an exceptional incoming class of new scholars from around the nation,” said WGA Chairman Joe Desch. “They represent what the Evans Scholars Program has been about since 1930.”

The Evans Scholars selection interviews are being held with applicants nationwide through the spring. When the 2021-22 selection meeting process is complete, an estimated 315 caddies from across the country are expected to be awarded the Evans Scholarship. The Western Golf Association, headquartered in Glenview, Illinois, has supported the Chick Evans Scholarship Program through the Evans Scholars Foundation since 1930. Known as one of golf’s favorite charities, it is the nation’s largest scholarship program for caddies.

Currently, a record 1,070 caddies are enrolled at 21 universities across the nation as Evans Scholars, and more than 11,500 caddies have graduated as Evans Scholars since the program was founded by famed Chicago amateur golfer Charles “Chick” Evans Jr. “These young students have each shown excellence in the classroom, in their communities and on the golf course,” said WGA President and CEO John Kaczkowski. “We are proud to welcome them to the Evans Scholars family.” Scholarship funds come

mostly from contributions by nearly 35,000 supporters across the country, who are members of the Evans Scholars Par Club program. Evans Scholars Alumni donate more than $17 million annually, and all proceeds from the BMW Championship, the penultimate PGA TOUR Playoff event in the PGA TOUR’s FedExCup competition, are donated to the Evans Scholars Foundation. In 2022, the BMW Championship will be held at Wilmington Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware, from Aug. 16-21. To learn more about the WGA and ESF, visit www.wgaesf.org.

Office hours are Monday-Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. * * * I still see people wearing masks, which is fine as they need to do whatever makes them feel safer and more comfortable. But for those of us who are fully vaccinated and tired of wearing masks, Saturday, March 12, could not have come soon enough. There is no doubt that Covid will be with us for a long time, just like the flu or other diseases, but it was way past time to open our communities. A perfect example of people enjoying themselves came over the weekend when the Bandon Booster Club held their two-day Gold Rush event, spearheaded by Brianna Hutchens and her crew. Friday night's dessert auction reportedly raised over $40,000, which goes to youth activities. Saturday night's dance, featuring Morgan Alexander and his band, was well attended by people of all ages. Hopefully this is just the beginning of more community gatherings for people who want to mingle once again. * * * I know that this is the part of my column that people don't look forward to. But when we lose people that are well known or close to us, it's important to let others know. I was shocked to learn Monday of the death of Julie Hawthorne, who with her husband Chris, owned Redfish restaurant and Hawthorne Gallery in Port Orford. She was a classy, beautiful woman, and a well-known ceramic artist, who was the matriarch of the family, which includes her children, Daemian and Lena, and four grandchildren. She was loved by a huge community of friends and extended family. After a Sunday brunch with family, Julie had reportedly gone into the gallery, where she died after falling from a ladder, according to her Lena's partner, Jake Pestana. A graveside service will be held Friday, March 18, at 1 p.m. at the Denmark Cemetery on Floras Lake Loop in Langlois. Dawn Dixon, 66, who has been in charge of Bandon's Fourth of July parade for many year, died recently in Coos Bay. A friend said Dawn always crocheted an afghan for the grand prize and she had finished the afghan for this year's award before passing away. Jan Hester will take over as parade chairman. I also learned that former

A friend said she had died of ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease). While here, she was active in the community and served on the City's Utilities Commission. Linda, 77, is survived by her two sons, Nazih and Jalil Hijaouy. I also learned that Dr. Devin Brice, who owned Above Dental on Virginia Avenue in North Bend, died in his sleep March 8 at the age of 40. He was the son of Harold Brice and Mary Farr Brice Woolley, and is survived by his wife and a young family. He grew up in Coquille and graduated from Marshfield High in 2000. Friends said he seemed to be in great health and often jogged up and down Telegraph Hill in Coos Bay. * * * Harv Schubothe, executive director of Greater Bandon Association, has announced that GBA has been moved to the top Main Street tier. They had learned that Oregon Main Street was redefining its tiers, and through GBA's ten-year history they have been placed in the second or middle tier of "transforming" Main Street organizations. "The top tier of Albany, Astoria, Coos Bay, Estacada, Klamath Falls, LaGrande, McMinnville and Oregon City was joined this week by Hillsboro Beaverton and yes, Bandon!" said Schubothe. Taking a quick look at the top tier list, missing are places like Salem, Corvallis, Roseburg and Medford, even though they all have Main Street organizations. We are the smallest in population." This means priority for Main Street Revitalization grants which the 90 Main Street towns in Oregon compete for. "It also means money, actual dollars for our operation which while small have not been available in the past. And finally technical assistance visits

every three months to work on things like strategic

plans and sustainable funding," said Schubothe.

SWOCC has banner year at swimming championships By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

The Southwestern Oregon Community College swim team had its best-ever finish in its eighth trip to the NJCAA national championships, earning runner-up finishes for both the men and women and many individual honors while breaking 14 school records. The Lakers won six individual titles, had three NJCAA All-Americans and 24 CSCAA All-Americans and had one of the co-swimmers of the meet. SWOCC coach Sandra Bullock was named men’s coach of the year. “This national meet and the entire 2021-22 season were a true team effort having faced unprecedented obstacles that required us to lean in on our core values of family, integrity, grit, honor and trust and truly learn to fight as a team,” Bullock said. “We learned through a teammate’s cancer diagnosis that, when faced with the fight for one’s life, there is strength in a unified team that loves and respects one another by living by common core values. “Every team member had a place and served an important role on this team. In the end, the power of the team resulted in a massive team effort bringing home a total of 97 medals and memories that will last a lifetime.” The team was pleasantly surprised when meet host (and repeat men’s and women’s champion) Indian River State College of Florida honored SWOCC’s Gabbi Kincaid, who was diagnosed with cancer last fall, by presenting everyone at the meet with a T-shirt to come together in support of Kincaid’s cancer fight. “It was pretty special

and they totally surprised us with it, and we were able to share it with Gabbi, who has been home in Arizona undergoing treatment since her diagnosis at the very end of October,” Bullock said. The Lakers’ efforts at the national meet were led by freshman Alex Metzler of Germany, who won all four of his individual events and set national meet records in the 500-yard freestyle (4:20.42) and 1,650 freestyle (15:02.71). He also won the 1,000 freestyle (9:02.52) and 400 individual medley (3:50.62), setting school records in all four events and earning co-swimmer of the meet honors with William Beckstead-Holman of Indian River State College. Sophomore Emile Dost from the Netherlands and freshman Caneck Bracho from Ontario, Canada, also won individual events, with Bracho taking the 100 freestyle in 44.96 seconds (a new school record) and Dost winning the 50 butterfly in 22.01. Freshman Antoine Famechon from France earned a top-three podium finish in the 200 butterfly with a time of 1:51.83 and the Lakers finished in the top three in all five relays, setting school records in the 800 freestyle relay (Metzler, Famechon, Dost and Bracho), the 400 medley relay (Bracho, Dost, Max Matthai of Germany and Connor Spanos of Seward, Alaska) and the 400 freestyle relay (Dost, Matthai, Metzler and Bracho). In all, 13 men on the SWOCC team earned CSCAA All-American honors for top-eight individual finishes and top-four relay finishes: Bracho, Dost, Famechon, Matthai, Metzler, Trenton Clark, Lyle Fortune, Abdulla Jamal,

SWOCC’s women were led by freshman Kim Zwinkels from the Netherlands, who set four individual school records in the 1,000 freestyle (10:29.11), 1,650 freestyle (17:40.27), 200 butterfly (2:08.28) and 400 individual medley (4:32.12). She was runner-up in the 400 IM and was joined by Dominique van Vuure of Curacao (South America), Zimena Lucio Calzada (Mexico) and Bella Jones (North Bend) to set a new school record in the 200 freestyle relay. Three other relays made the podium. The runner-up 800 freestyle relay included Zwinkels, Lara Galy (France), van Vuure and Jones; the runner-up 200 medley relay included

LynDea Turner (Syracuse, Utah), Zwinkels, Jones and van Vuure and the thirdplace 400 freestyle relay of Zwinkels, Turner, van Vuure and Jones. No other individuals finished in the top three for SWOCC’s women, but 11 team members earned CSCAA All-American honors, including Galy, Jones, Turner, van Vuure, Zwinkels, Luico Calzada, Luci Brenner,Camila Devaux, Bethany Foster, Elizabeth Mulanax and Rhylee Sinks. Bullock said the swimmers made many sacrifices to have a chance to compete at the NJCAA meet. “The team represented SWOCC and the local community in an exemplary manner, remaining positive and determined, and persevering through whatever was asked of them for

the privilege to compete in honor of a teammate who spent much of the season fighting for her life,” Bullock said. “Carrying a poster of their teammate and wearing temporary tattoo reminders to #fight-

likegabbi and #fight4gabbi, the Lakers finished with the most successful national championship meet in program history while displaying the humility and sportsmanship of true champions.”

Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative Inc. is looking for members who have unclaimed capital credit checks issued in 2016 and 2017.

The names of members who have unclaimed capital credits will appear in a special insert within the Curry Coastal Pilot newspaper. The insert will be published at least one time in January, February, March, and April 2022. The list also will be posted to our website at www.ccec.coop/capital-credits.

What are capital credits? Capital credits reflect each member’s ownership in the cooperative. Other businesses and utilities return profits to investors and shareholders. Not us. CCEC is a member-owned notfor-profit cooperative, and we return margins or profits as capital credits to members like you. Members invest in CCEC when they buy power. Each year, after all expenses have been paid, any remaining margins are allocated to members as capital credits in proportion to their electric use.

Contact Us Go to www.ccec.coop/capital-credits to see if your name appears on the list, or if you know the address or phone number of a person or business on the list. If you are not the member listed, you must be legally authorized to claim one of these checks, including checks for members that are deceased. A form is available to fill out on the website. Please provide your name, the listed member’s name and telephone number. A member of our team will contact you as soon as possible. For additional questions, contact us at 541-332-3931 or by email at ms@cooscurryelectric.com. Unclaimed capital credits will be forfeited and reclaimed by Coos-Curry Electric as permanent equity six months after the last published notice.

Deadly fake pills trigger public health warning

OBITUARIES Frank Edwin Lohrke May 9, 1949 - March 2, 2022

Frank Edwin Lohrke, 72, of Scappoose, died March 2, 2022, at home with family. Frank was born May 9, 1949, in St. Helens to Louie and Corrine (Heikkila) Lohrke. He was raised on the Coos River and had a childhood with freedom reminiscent of Huckleberry Finn’s. His days were spent hunting, fishing, camping, and floating home-built rafts up and down the river. His mother’s bed sheets were not safe when he needed a sail. He accessed a favorite fishing hole by outrunning an ornery bull and jumping to safety through a fence. Frank joined the Army at 17 and served as a Combat Engineer in postwar Korea and wartime Vietnam. He earned the rank of Specialist Five and served valiantly earning two Army Commendation medals for his actions during enemy engagement. He returned to civilian life in Coos Bay and soon joined the Union of Operating Engineers, Local 701, where he became a heavy equipment operator on several important northwest construction projects, including construction of Interstate 205 and expanding Portland’s light rail. He began working at the Scappoose Lone Star rock plant in 1988. However, the company busted the union in 1992. Frank refused to work for a nonunion outfit, so he began commuting long distances again until he

STAFF REPORT

retired in 2011. Frank was known for his hard work and ability to precisely handle all sorts of heavy equipment in difficult situations. In 1971 Frank met Rosemary Molony of Scappoose, and they were married in 1973. Frank and Rosemary built a rural home outside of Scappoose in 1979, where he raised his family and lived the rest of his life. Frank was always dependable, ready for a good laugh from a joke or story and was a good friend who went out of his way to help others, whether he knew them or not. He enjoyed an annual deer hunting trip from the time he was a child and was known to leave an occasional job if it stood between him and hunting with his father, brothers, family, and friends. Frank spent most summers cutting firewood and enjoyed drives in the woods and trips around the dike. He was a

devoted husband, father, and grandfather and is sorely missed by all who knew him. Frank is survived by his wife, Rosemary; son, Jesse (Elizabeth) of Springfield; daughter, Angela of Scappoose; brothers, Louie and Jack Lohrke (Julie) of Coos Bay; Serena Rice; grandchildren, Alexander and Allison Smith and Fletcher Lohrke; nephews, Jacob and Joshua Lohrke; many cousins, including Frank Lohrke, Edith Young (Hammond), Jane Johnson, Sandi Wilson (Burgess), and Clarinda Clark; brothers-inlaw, Dave and Dan Molony. Frank is preceded in death by his parents; parents-in-law, George and Martha Molony; nephew, George Molony; cousins, Bob and Mark Burgess, Ed and Vernon Hammond, and Linda Lovell. A celebration of life will be held at Columbia Funeral Home in St. Helens on Friday, March 25, 2022 at 1:00 pm.

The deaths of two teenagers in Portland from a suspected overdose of fentanyl has prompted the Oregon Poison Control Center at Oregon Health & Sciences University to issue a public health warning about counterfeit, contaminated opioids in Oregon. Danger These pills may be laced with fentanyl which can be deadly, according to the center. Fentanyl is up to 50 times more potent than heroin. It is odorless, tasteless and colorless. According to the warning, warning pills meant to mimic oxycodone tablets may contain illicitly manufactured fentanyl or other harmful contaminants. These counterfeit pills may be difficult to distinguish from legitimate prescription drugs and are especially dangerous because of their unknown contents. Fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine, is used by doctors to treat severe pain. Fentanyl is pressed into pills that are stamped with “M30,” “E7” or other markers to mimic real oxycodone tablets. Unlike prescription pills, the amount of fentanyl may vary from pill to pill — and the amount in a single pill can be deadly for some people. In addition to fentanyl, these pills may contain a variety of other medicines, including fentanyl analogs, sedatives and anesthetics that may cause overdose. The presence of fentanyl in fake pills is impossible to detect unless it is tested, according to the center alert. Prevent opioid overdoses Only consume pills and other drugs that have been obtained from a

pharmacy and have been prescribed to you. These prescriptions should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is not safe to consume someone else’s prescription drugs, or anything purchased online or on the streets. Pills from these non-prescribed sources may be counterfeit and contain dangerous ingredients like fentanyl. The center also recommends active communication — talk with your teens about the risks of substance use. Discuss the risks associated with consuming drugs purchased off the internet, from social media sites or from anyone who is not their health care provider. Look for changes in their behavior, including irregular eating or sleeping patterns, loss of interest in usual activities, or signs of depression or anxiety. People who use illicit drugs, or whose loved ones use illicit drugs, should take precautions against overdoses, including carrying multiple doses of naloxone, the opioid reversal drug. Naloxone is available at pharmacies in Oregon without a prescription. Signs that someone is experiencing an opioid overdose include: • Small, constricted “pinpoint” pupils • Pale, bluish skin • Vomiting or foaming at the mouth • Slow, shallow breathing or, they may appear sleepy or lose consciousness. Call 9-1-1 right away if someone is unconscious, not breathing or if naloxone has been given. Medical experts at the Oregon Poison Center can help if you or a loved one is experiencing unwanted symptoms after taking pills or using illicit substances.

March designated as Problem Gambling Awareness Month STAFF REPORT For the 19th year in Oregon and across the country, March is National Problem Gambling Awareness Month [PGAM]. The dedicated effort helps increase public awareness of problem gambling and the availability of prevention, treatment, and recovery services. The PGAM’s campaign theme, “Awareness + Action,” brings all those elements into focus, according to a release from supporters of the effort states. National Problem Gambling Awareness Month is a grassroots effort that brings together a wide range of stakeholders - public health organizations, advocacy groups and gambling operators – who work collaboratively to let people know that hope and help exist. According to Oregon Lottery Responsible and Problem Gambling Program Manager Krystal Smith, over the last two years, the Oregon Lottery has brought special attention to problem gambling, given the stress, isolation, and financial uncertainty of so many Oregonians throughout the pandemic. “Some can be tempted to seek hope through the many gambling options available online and with the widespread legalization of online sports wagering,” Smith said. “Here in Oregon, outreach continues to be chal-

lenging because of the pandemic. We want people to know that they’re not alone, and that there is effective, free and confidential help available for them as well as their loved ones even if isolated at home.” Visits to the Oregon Problem Gambling Resource website (www.opgr.org) historically also tend to increase during March as a result of the Oregon Lottery’s focused marketing and social media outreach efforts around problem gambling, according to Smith. “Creating awareness of problem gambling and available

resources is a statewide commitment that is reflected in the official proclamation that Oregon Lottery and the Oregon Health Authority worked with the Governor’s office to develop,” Oregon Lottery Senior Manager Product Marketing Stacy Shaw said. Shaw also serves on the board of the Oregon Council on Problem Gambling. “It’s great that people are seeking information,” Shaw said, “and we hope that the conversation and action continues to grow. We’re proud to be in a state that has robust system of

prevention through treatment services that are free to anyone concerned about gambling problems, and we want people to know that they don’t have to worry about seeking help.” Shaw said the Oregon Lottery has focused this year on letting people know that in Oregon treatment is really free, a message that’s important to people struggling with gambling issues. Oregon Health Authority’s Health Systems Division Problem Gambling Services Manager Greta Coe said the COVID-19 pandemic has made this a very trying and isolating time for

many people. “Because of this,” Coe said, “it was important for Oregon Problem Gambling Resource (OPGR) and other local community sources to ramp up their outreach activities and media presence to address the increase in gambling activity and addiction. “We’ve expanded our efforts to build awareness that gambling is an activity that comes with risks, and it’s crucial we provide both free education and judgment-free treatment for those who develop gambling problems, as well as resources for those impacted by a loved one’s gambling.” The Oregon Lottery’s commitment to problem gambling support is year-round. Since 1992, one percent of Oregon Lottery profits have funded problem gambling treatment and prevention efforts throughout Oregon. Since that time, over $111 million in Lottery funds has supported those services. Help resources To get help for a gambling issue, anyone can call 1-877-MYLIMIT. Treatment is free, confidential and it works, according to the Oregon Lottery representatives. For more information about problem gambling treatment resources or to chat with a specialist, go to Oregon Problem Gambling Resource at opgr.org.

Dustin Herker undefeated at Coquille’s History Museum first hybrid chess tournament Chess is starting to rebloom after the pandemic but due to the previous lack of chess tournaments, scholastic chess players around the state are scrambling to meet the qualifications to attend the OSCF Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation’s State Championships to be held April 1 and 2 in Seaside. Coquille held a “hybrid” tournament March 12 to assist their own players to meet the qualifications and also help players around the state to attend virtually and also meet the qualifications. Fortunately OSCF loosened the requirements to just eight qualifier games. Coquille held a five-rounnd qualifier tournament. Nancy Keller, the tournament director, found the hybrid tournament to be extremely difficult with a high learning curve, but overall the tournament was a success. The next hybrid tournament should go much smoother. Dustin Herker, a Coquille high school senior, annihilated all competitors in the advanced section as he was undefeated. Frank Morse, a Coquille home school student, had a single loss against Dustin and earned second place. Matthew Forgey, Bandon home school student, placed third in his first chess tournament and the distinction of being placed in the highest section. Vavun Lyengar, who played virtually from Portland tied with Mackinley Warncke from Coquille for

a Compass Senior Living Community

Guided by goodness, loyalty, faith, and fun

At 5:45 p.m. Thursday, April 28, the Lakeside Public Library is teaming up with South Coast Together to offer a workshop on Adverse Childhood Experiences in the Lakeside City Council Chambers. Dinner will be provided. On May 13, a follow-up workshop: Self-Regulation and Resiliency, will be provided at 1 p.m. in the Lakeside City Council Chambers. Both of these events are free. The 1998 CDC/Kaizer study of Adverse Childhood Experiences led to new understandings of the links between abuse, neglect, and dysfunction in

childhood and health outcomes including asthma, lowered immunity, heart disease and elevated risks of cancer and early death. The ACEs training on April 28, Understanding ACEs: Building Self-Healing Communities, will focus on ACEs and their effects. The follow-up training on May 13, Self-Regulation and Resilience explores strategies for self-care and the tools for building resilience. Both of these events will be in person with limited space available at the Lakeside City Council Chambers.

For those wishing to attend, please sign up for the ACEs training by calling Tammy Aley at 541-808-7244 or going to https://forms.office.com/r/ LrnS6H7CVk and for the Self-regulation and Resilience training by going to https://forms.office.com/r/ H4DFyqaN46. As space is limited, requests will be honored on a first-registered, first-served basis. For information, go to the Lakeside Library Facebook page or contact Tammy Aley at 541-8087244 or tammy.aley@chw. coos.or.us.

The Oregon Air National Guard’s 142nd Wing will conduct routine F-15 Eagle night training missions March 15 through March 17. Night training allows the citizen-airmen pilots assigned to the Portland Air National Guard Base to stay current with mandatory Air Force requirements, according to a release from the Oregon National Air Guard. “Night flying is an essential training requirement for nighttime competency maneuvers,” the release states. According to the Oregon

National Air Guard, the training flights will be completed each night before 10 p.m. The Portland Air National Guard Base employs approximately 1,500 airmen who provide an economic impact of nearly $500 million to the region, according to the release. “The 142nd Wing defends our homeland with F-15 Eagle fighter jets, guarding the Pacific Northwest skies from Northern California to the Canadian border, as part of Air Combat Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD),” the release states.

PET LOST AND FOUND Adopt Me!

WE CLEARLY

Breed: Chiweenie

Bella

Adopt Me!

LOVE OUR PETS Breed: Domestic Shorthair

Age/Gender:

Adult, Female

7 Years, Female

Kaz

Bella is just under 7 pound, and she is VERY active. She is friendly, affectionate, loves to play with toys and to go for walks. She could be a door darter/trip hazard, and she does not travel well. Bella is quite smart, knows lots of tricks, and is completely housebroken. She would do best as an only dog.

Kaz is quite shy to the average person, but she would warm up with one-on-one attention as an indoor only cat. With a few treats and a calm voice, she will eat from your hand in no time. Many cats in our shelter, like Kaz, might not receive enough human attention, and sort of become feral after awhile.

Selecting an Easier-to-Train Dog Breed Training is one of the most effective ways to keep companion animals safe and secure. When prospective pet owners begin looking for a new dog, one of the first thoughts that may come to mind is trainability and whether certain breeds are more readily trainable than others. The pet food manufacturers at Honest Kitchen indicate that many

factors can make a difference in how easily a dog will train, and breed is just one of them. The American Kennel Club reports that certain dogs are more willing to comply with owner requests, while others are bred to work independently and may be less likely to immediately respond to commands from their owners. Certain traits can make some dogs a little easier to train than others. For example, dogs that are foodmotivated and enjoy being around people may be more easily trained than those without such traits. Though there’s no guarantee any dog will take to training, the following are some breeds

Kohls Cat House

The cat house is open for adoptions on site from 8am to 10am and 3pm to 4pm. 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.

• Poodles: Poodles are popular because they don’t shed much, but also because they are an intelligent, obedient and versatile breed.

that are generally considered trainingfriendly. • Border collies: Collies are bright and energetic dogs that like to herd with their agility and intelligence. • Australian shepherd: Another herding dog, Aussies have a natural focus on their owners and are bred to work with those owners in challenging environments. • Doberman pinchers: Dobermans are smart and attentive to their owners. They have traditionally been employed as guard dogs and require careful training and socialization to be tolerant of strangers. • German shepherds: These workhorses serve many different roles because of their affinity for learning tasks. Like Dobermans, look for a well-socialized German shepherd to avoid anxiety and wariness with people.

Have You

Lost a Pet?

• Golden retrievers: Golden retrievers are not the No. 1 family dog for nothing. Goldens are very intelligent and amiable. They often will do anything to please their owners. Labrador retrievers also take to training well and are very affectionate. • Papillon: Smaller dogs are often dubbed “stubborn” or “independent.” But papillons are incredibly smart and trainable and are naturally focused. The pet advisement site K9 of Mine warns that some of the smartest, most easily trained dogs may get bored easily and destroy things around the house if they can’t keep their minds occupied.
