Doctors see late-season rise in flu cases

By JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media

This month’s lifting of state mask requirements put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic is prompting many Oregonians to remove their face coverings.

Oregon health officials say it’s a good time to remind people about the importance of getting

vaccinated against another circulating virus: influenza.

Oregon is seeing a late-season rise in flu cases – flu season generally peaks around late January or February – as mask requirements for public indoor spaces and schools fall away, making it easier to spread the virus from person to person, according to Oregon Health Authority com-

municable disease experts.

“The 2020-2021 flu season was virtually non-existent as public health restrictions, such as stay-home orders, mask requirements, and limits on indoor and outdoor gatherings, kept flu cases down at record-low levels,” OHA’s Public Health Division Medical Director for Communicable Diseases and Im-

munizations Paul Cieslak, M.D. said. “Now we’re seeing more cases at a time when the season is usually coming to a close.”

During the week of March 6 to March 12, Oregon reported that 3.1% of influenza tests were positive, compared with 2.5% the week of Feb. 27 to March 5, 1.6% the week of Feb. 20 to Feb. 26, and .6% the week of Feb.

6 to Feb. 12. During the same week of the 2020-2021 season, a scant .1% of flu tests were positive. The vast majority of flu cases have been influenza A. Cieslak emphasizes that it’s still not too late to get a flu vaccine, and getting it now, as indoor and outdoor gatherings Please see Flu Page A2

After decades of working in a variety of roles in education, Charis McGaughy is thrilled her long and winding road landed her in Coos Bay where she is set to become the next superintendent of the Coos Bay School District.

McGaughy thrilled to serve as superintendent

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Charis McGaughy didn't grow up wanting to be an educator, but one moment as a teen changed her life forever.

Now decades later, McGaughy

is preparing to take over as the new superintendent of the Coos Bay School District this summer.

McGaughy grew up as the daughter of a college professor and the granddaughter of a school superintendent, but as a teen she was determined to make her mark as an attorney fighting

for social justice.

"Growing up, I always said I was going to be a lawyer," McGaughy said this week. "I was always passionate about social justice issues. My father knew Martin Luther King Jr. I grew up in a family that valued social justice."

That value is what eventually led McGaughy to education, but in a different way than most.

McGaughy graduated from high school early and decided to take a year off before going to college. That year, she was living Please see McGaughy Page A2

ODFW prohibits taking of sea stars

By HILARY DORSEY Country Media

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Commission voted Friday, March 18, to change shellfish regulations to prohibit harvest of sea stars and increase the daily bag limit for non-native European green crabs to 35. These changes are now in effect.

During the meeting, ODFW’s shellfish program leader Stephen Rumrill presented a package of four proposed changes. Proposed changes to shellfish rules include prohibiting the taking of sea stars, increase the daily catch limit of European green crab, require electronic fish tickets for bay clam fisheries, and establish a landing limit for gaper clam for the dive fishery in Yaquina Bay. “Oregon’s shellfish fisheries are diverse,” Rumrill said. “First with regard to the recreational fisheries, we allow harvest of a diverse group of about 30 different species.”

These groups include Dungeness crab, Red Rock crab, clams and more. Sea stars and European green crab are also included in recreational fisheries.

Rumrill said multiple species of sea stars have experienced mass mortality along the west coast since 2013 due to Sea Star Wasting Disease. This is

Sunflower sea stars have seen their numbers rapidly decline in recent years. coincident with changing ocean conditions.

“Some species of sea stars, like the ochre star, have recovered somewhat,” Rumrill said.

“Other species of sea stars have not recovered at all.”

There has been a 90 percent coastwide decline of sunflower sea stars after Sea Star Wasting Disease.

“NOAA Fisheries is currently considering a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity to place them on an Endangered Species List, pending a decision

in 2022,” Rumrill said.

Existing ODFW rules allowed the take of 10 sea stars per person per day, Rumrill added.

“This is a prudent management action at this time to demonstrate the commitment to conservation,” Rumrill said of the action.

European green crabs are a recent aggressive invasive species with the potential to disrupt communities of native shellfish. The mid-sized shore crab inhabits the mid-region of estuaries. They can be green, brown, yellow, red

or blue in color but are easily identified by three prominent bumps between their eyes and five spines along the side of their carapace. “[They were] first observed in Coos Bay in 1997,” Rumrill said.

Additional regulations for commercial bay clam fisheries were also approved at the meeting, including the requirement for electronic, rather than paper, fish tickets and designation of a harvest area and annual landing cap for the commercial gaper clam dive fishery in Yaquina Bay.

A federal spending bill, signed into law last week by President Joe Biden, includes funding for an innovative partnership among Columbia Memorial Hospital in Astoria, Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay and Oregon Health & Science University.

The Connected Coast Virtual ICU received $943,000 in the federal budget. The program connects local physicians to OHSU’s critical care team, facilitates the continuous virtual monitoring of patient vital signs, and provides support tools for clinical decision-making and analytics that can improve patient care outcomes.

“The Connected Coast Virtual ICU project will extend OHSU’s critical care expertise to patients across Oregon,” says Joe Ness, M.H.A., BSPharm., senior vice president and chief operating officer at OHSU Health. “This federal investment will strengthen the capacity of community hospitals to care for critically ill patients, while allowing those patients to stay in their communities. We thank Senator Merkley and Senator Wyden for advocating for this funding and their support of accessible health care.”

“Events over the past two years have accentuated the importance of building critical care capacity in local communities,” says Brian Moore, president and CEO of Bay Area Hospital. “This partnership with OHSU enables Bay Area Hospital to provide patients with the care they need while keeping them close to their support systems and those they love. This support from Senator Merkley and Senator Wyden will make a real difference for people living on Oregon’s South Coast.”

“We’ve benefitted from collaborating with OHSU through their tele-intensivist consult model over the past year-and-a-half,” say Judy Geiger, vice president of patient care services, and Chris Strear, M.D., chief medical officer, at Columbia Memorial Hospital. “This service has allowed us to take care of patients that we previously would have had to transfer out. The Virtual ICU is the next generation of intensive care collaboration and can enable us to help not just those patients in our own community, but also some of the sickest patients along the Oregon Coast.”

In pursuing the funding, the hospitals received letters of support from up and down the Oregon Coast: from the Clatsop County Board of Commissioners, Coos Bay Mayor Joe Benetti and North Bend Mayor Jessica Engelke.

Getting vaccinated can also reduce the severity of flu illness even if you get infected.

Anyone ages six months and older should get the flu vaccine, particularly young children, older adults and those who have chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease or metabolic diseases such as diabetes.

Pregnant women should get vaccinated since children younger than six months can’t get the flu vaccine. When a pregnant woman gets the vaccine, it means she not only avoids serious complications during pregnancy, but she also transmits, through the placenta, precious flu antibodies for her unborn child.

Flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19.

That’s why it’s important to get the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine, both of which are available from health care providers, local health departments and many pharmacies in Oregon.

The flu vaccine is free or low cost with most health insurance plans. To find flu vaccine clinic, visit www. flu.oregon.gov and use

She said she went to a move with friends one night, and when they came out of the theater late at night, McGaughy noticed lots of children, small children running around.

"I asked why aren't the kids at home in bed," McGaughy said. "My friend looked at me and said, 'they don't have a home.'

It really struck me at that point how lucky I am."

Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent the flu, according to health officials. Additional ways Oregonians can help prevent the spread of flu include: • Staying home from work or school when you are sick and limit contact with others.

• Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

• Washing hands frequently with soap and water; use an alcohol-based hand rub if soap and water are not available.

• Avoiding touching

your eyes, nose and mouth.

• Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces and objects that may have flu germs on them.

• Avoiding getting coughed and sneezed on.

Influenza, also known as flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The flu can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death.

Flu signs and symptoms usually come on suddenly, the CDC states. People who are sick with flu often feel some or all of these

symptoms: • Fever* or feeling feverish/chills • Cough • Sore throat • Runny or stuffy nose • Muscle or body aches • Headaches • Fatigue (tiredness) Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults.

It’s important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.

"When you look at issues of poverty, hunger and violence, education is a way out," she said.

After graduating from Pomona College, McGaughy taught for two years with Teach for America. She then went back to school and earned her master's degree from the University of Texas. But instead of going back to the classroom, McGaughy went to work for the Texas Department of Education, mostly on statewide policy issues.

After getting married, McGaughy moved to

Nashville, Tenn., and had the opportunity to go to Vanderbilt, where she earned her PhD in K-12 education leadership, policy and organization.

She did return to the classroom for a several years, but when her husband got a job in Korea, McGaughy took her two daughters and came home to Oregon to be close to family.

In Eugene, McGaughy was the director of a nonprofit that worked in college and career readiness.

In that role, she focused on state and national issues regarding career readiness.

But after eight years, she was ready to return

to public schools, so she jumped at an opportunity to work with the Eugene school district.

"I joke I took my stayat-home mom job and went to work for the Eugene School District," she said.

The first year in the school district, she served as chief of staff and then six years as assistant superintendent.

When her youngest daughter graduated, McGaughy said she and her husband started discussing moving to the coast, taking a job as the interim superintendent of the South Coast Education Services District.

dation supports innovative ideas, collaborative approaches and grassroots efforts in education, health, public safety, problem gambling, the arts, environment, cultural activities and historic preservation. Since it began awarding grants in 2012 the foundation has given out $2,694,340.81 Food Backpacks for Kids in Florence, which helps ensure no kid goes hungry, received $10,000 for its programming.

“It is the remarkable generosity of people and businesses like Three Rivers that allow us to make this program sustainable.

These children find themselves in food insecurity at no cause of their own,” said Pastor and CEO Dale Edwards.

The Three Rivers Foundation also awarded grants to healthcare organizations.

“We are extremely grateful to the Three Rivers Foundation for their generous support. When we informed them of the ongoing need to test our staff for exposure to COVID-19 to best protect the terminally ill in our care and our staff, they came to our aid,” said Doreen Kelly, South Coast Hospice & Palliative Care.

to see if we wanted to stay down here," she said.

"We've fallen in love with it and then the superintendent's job opened up."

McGaughy was one of 19 people to apply, went through several interviews and was offered the job last week.

"I took a non-traditional route," she said with a laugh.

But what's important to McGaughy is she got here, the exact place she want to be.

"Public education obviously is my passion, and here is a community that so obviously supports the schools, that's why I applied for the job," Mc-

Gaughy said.

She said as superintendent her job is focused on doing what's best for students, all students.

"I want to know each of them individually," she said. "I want to know what's going on in their lives. How can we be flexible to reconnect and re-engage so all of our students have a chance to thrive."

And thriving is the key, she said. For some, that might mean college. For others, the military. For others, it might mean going to work as soon as they finish school. Whatever it means, McGaughy wants schools in Coos Bay to meet the need.

"How do we make sure every student when they're done with high school is prepared to take the next step for what they aspire to?" McGaughy asked.

"Schools need to provide all kinds of opportunities."

While her priority will be students and schools in Coos Bay, McGaughy said working for students requires being an active part of the community.

And she is ready for that role.

"I see myself as a listener and a connector," she said.

"I need to listen to what the community wants and make connections to make that happen. I also want to be on a mission to share my love of education."

McGaughy understands there is a lot to learn and a lot to do, but she is eager to get started when she takes the role July 1.

"I start July 1, and we'll be looking into things this summer," she said.

After reviewing the best available scientific information, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing to list sand dune phacelia (Phacelia argentea) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The service is also proposing critical habitat and a 4(d) rule to tailor the protection of the species to actions compatible with its recovery. This announcement opens a 60-day public comment period.

Sand dune phacelia, also known as silvery phacelia, is a flowering perennial in the forget-me-not family.

This evergreen plant is endemic to southern Oregon and northern California, occurring along 100 miles of coastline from Bandon, Oregon south to Crescent

City, California.

The most recent survey revealed only 25 naturally occurring populations of sand dune phacelia, most of which were in poor habitat. The most significant threat to remaining populations is habitat loss due to the encroachment of invasive species like European beachgrass and gorse. Climate change is also expected to cause sea level rise and exacerbate the spread of invasive species, which would result in additional habitat loss for the sand dune phacelia.

“Nearly seventy percent of the remaining sand dune phacelia populations are in poor condition, and most known locations are on non-federal lands,” said Robyn Thorson, regional

director for the Service’s Columbia-Pacific Northwest Region. “Although this coastal plant is in dire need of help, we are optimistic that we will see its recovery by working closely with our partners in conservation.”

Sand dune phacelia requires early successional sand dune habitat that provides sufficient space and light for seedlings to establish and grow. Consequently, this plant is management-dependent, relying on active and continuous removal of invasive species.

Conservation measures to preserve or enhance sand dune phacelia populations are currently underway at several sites in Oregon and California. These actions include habitat restoration through removal of invasive species, population augmentation and more.

Information on how to submit comments is available at www.regulations.gov by searching under docket number FWS–R1–ES–2021–0070.

Coquille chess players continue to prepare for state championships Coquille held another hybrid tournament this last weekend to continue to help their own players and also players from around Oregon to qualify for the OSCF State Championships.

Nearly half the players were virtual. Hybrid tournaments are exceptionally difficult to hold and despite problems with the video conferencing platform, the tournament was a success.

Between the two tournaments, nearly 20 players were able to meet qualifi-

cations for state.

In the U900 section, Ari Ish Shalom, a first grade player, did very well and placed third in a section who mostly had middle school level players.

Troutdale players Emily and Ethan Franklin took first and second. Bandon kindergarten player, Ezra Forgey, was brave to enter her first tournament and though she lost all her games, she smiled after each loss. She knew each game was helping her learn to be better at chess.

In the Over900 section, Sawyer Bergstedt managed to beat his teammate Dustin Herker in the last round to take second place.

Troutdale player, Phillip Volodkin took first place.

Coquille Chess Club will be holding a car wash this Saturday, March 26, at Les Schwab, to help fund the trips to state championships being held in Seaside April 1 and 2 (individuals), and then Portland April 8 and 9 (elementary and middle school teams and individuals).

Trailer park residents plot to become landowners

By Benjamin James Waddell Just outside Durango, Colorado, there’s a trailer park called Westside that I’ve been driving by all my life. Yet residents there have long lived with the fear that at any time their homes could be taken from them, and now, the worst has happened.

A few days before Christmas, Westside residents received notice that the 5.6 acres of land, with 60 lots, under their homes was for sale for $5.5 million. The message was in English, and Alejandra Chavez and her neighbors, who mostly speak Spanish and work in service jobs, were devastated.

Alejandra was 13 when she left her native Mexico in 2005 to join her family in Durango. Her parents, Juanita and Alejandro, chose Westside because it was close to town, and they could get to and from work without a vehicle.

They bought their current home in 2010 for $10,000, and since then have invested another $15,000 in remodels.

Their home is their biggest asset.

“Honestly, my parents would lose everything,” Alejandra told me. “If we wanted to move their trailer, it would break apart.”

Trailer parks like Westside are always vulnerable to speculators. As land prices skyrocket in the West, trailer parks have attracted the interest of large corporations and private equity funds. The trend is so strong that two real estate tycoons launched a website called Mobile Home University to teach investors how to get in “on the ground floor.”

But now, thanks to a new Colorado law, residents like Alejandra Chavez and her parents can fight back because owners of trailer parks must provide residents with 90-day notice of their intent to sell. Before the law, trailer parks could change owners without residents even knowing that the park was up for sale. Now, park inhabitants have a chance to form a cooperative, secure financing and even make an offer of their own. The residents of Westside jumped at the opportunity.

In early January, Westside residents formed the Westside Cooperative, which Chavez co-chairs. Their deadline to secure financing and submit a purchase offer is March 20.

The Westside group has a successful model. In 2021, the residents of Animas View Mobile Home, north of Durango, successfully purchased their community for $14 million. Seeing a similar situation at Westside, Animas View resident Dan Hunt offered to help out by walking door-to-door, spreading the word about resident-owned trailer parks.

“Our goal was for everyone to be able to afford it,” Hunt told me. “Those with the lowest incomes are at risk of being displaced, which is a terrible scenario. Now that we have control, we have plans to stabilize rents and invest in our park.”

“We want to follow in their footsteps,” Chavez says.

At first, Westside families were wary, as many wondered who would finance the purchase. The price of $5.5 million sounded like a huge amount of money.

Organizations — and public officials — offered advice, but Elevation Community Land Trust, a nonprofit dedicated to making homeownership more affordable for Colorado residents, stepped up to offer financial support. Elevation CEO Stefka Fanchi said the trust’s goal is to help places like Westside leverage the community trust model so housing remains stable for the foreseeable future.

La Plata County officials helped Westside put together a competitive purchase offer. Then things started moving fast over the last weekend, the owner rejected their first purchase offer, requesting a cash offer, and a quicker timeline. Westside has established a GoFundMe page and now has until March 27 to raise $500,000.

The big question is whether the owner, Neal Kurzner, will accept their offer. Kurzner is a New York investor who owns apartment buildings and trailer parks across the nation.

“To me it’s going to come down to economics,” Kurzner told me over the phone. “And timing. That’s really how we’ll be making our decision.”

Kurzner has already been negotiating to sell Westside to Harmony Communities, a company based in California that operates 33 trailer parks in the Southwest. Harmony has a history of purchasing parks in Colorado, then immediately hiking rents by as much as 50 percent.

Residents think their offer will be attractive to Kurzner: “We don’t want anyone to gift us anything,” Alejandra’s mother, Juanita, told me during a recent visit to Westside.

“We just want an opportunity to get ahead. And why not?”

Benjamin Waddell is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. He is an associate professor of sociology at Fort Lewis College in Durango.

Letters to the Editor I am concerned I am concerned about Rodney Taylor’s filing for Coos County commissioner. I question his judgment.

He was arrested for a curfew violation in Washington, D.C., during the January 6, 2021, insurrection.

He made three trips to D.C. in three weeks prior to the insurrection.

Coos County has had very little trouble with demonstrations in the past although there was a recent shout-down at a commissioner meeting. As a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen of Coos County, I resent those protestors who caused the meeting to be shut down.

Taylor already serves on the Bandon Port Commission and the Coos County Area Transit Board of Directors. I’d like to know how a businessman like Taylor would find time to be an effective commissioner, and still conduct business for the Bandon Port and the County Area Transit.

What is Taylor’s hidden agenda that he wants to wield so much power in our county?

Someone as radical as Taylor could attract the attention and support of white supremacist types who supported the January 6 violence in Washington. We don’t need that kind of trouble in Coos County.

Taylor was also involved a while back at the Coos Bay Boardwalk with gun-flaunting protestors who showed up in response to false rumors that the Antifas were coming.

Coos County deserves commissioners with good judgment, not those who go looking for trouble.

Sharon Ramirez North Bend

Meet Doyle Canning I want to tell you about Doyle Canning. She is running for Congress to represent Oregon in the fourth district, which is the district that Peter DeFazio is retiring from after a remarkable 36 years of public service.

Indivisible of North Curry County is endorsing Democrat Doyle Canning. Here’s why.

Doyle is a graduate of the University of Oregon School of Law. While there, she studied climate change and environmental law. She graduated third in her class and is a current member of the Oregon State Bar. She was recently a senior strategy advisor to Greenpeace, advocating for climate investments as part of President Biden’s Build Back Better plan. During the worst days of the pandemic, Doyle worked for United for Respect, a labor rights organization advocating in Congress for better working conditions for

essential workers. Her resume is full of significant environmental jobs, but the main thing to remember is that Doyle has spent over 20 years as a community organizer, finding solutions to climate change, the need for affordable housing, and as an advocate for better working conditions.

Many politicians have not yet responded to the fact that climate change is here—now. That climate change demands immediate planning and action. Many liberals are not approaching the problem of climate change with the urgency and focus it demands. Doyle is.

Doyle has the passion, experience, and education to take on climate change. Doyle will work to bring in clean, renewable energy jobs to the Oregon Coast. She understands the value of our ports and our rivers.

She understands that we need to stop subsidizing polluters.

Doyle says she wants to get progressive politics, which have been stalled by moderates in her party, back on the agenda.

In Congress, Doyle will fight for universal healthcare, reproductive rights, racial justice, abolishing all student debt, investing in rural Oregon, and truly affordable housing.

To make sure you are registered to the political party of your choice, go online to “Oregon Secretary of State,” “View Online Services,” and “Voting.” And on May 17, please vote for Doyle Canning for Congressional District 4.

Inverse impact The TLT (transient lodging tax) on short term lodging in the Charleston area will have an inverse impact of it's intended consequences. There is already a shortage of short term lodging in the area. Promoting the area to tourists will not produce enhanced economic activity if there is no where to stay.

One of the main appeals to our area is affordability. Adding 9.5% to lodging will deter and steer potential tourists to other locations closer to their home. It will also drive away entrepreneurs seeking short-term rental investments, ultimately reducing the current and future availability of short-term lodging. Finally, if more taxes is the solution (although it almost never is) to promoting tourism in our area, then this tax should be shared with all those that would benefit from the marketing in the area, not just the small business owners and entrepreneurs who provide overnight accommodations.

North Bend, Coos Bay, Port Orford and Gold Beach all have a

TLT of 7%. Bandon and Florence at 4%. Implementing a 9.5% tax in Charleston will put the area at a disadvantage to our local competitors. We need to right size this tax to include more economic activity at a lower rate to stay competitive in the tourism industry.

Why so long?

How lucky for our community that after almost two years of having the pool closed, with the exception of the free swim last summer, the North Bend City Council, the mayor and the city administrator are finally going to proceed with the repairs to the North Bend pool. Why were the citizens told that as soon as the pool was closed after the free swim last summer that the repairs would be started? Are you saying that a plan was not in place when the pool closed?

I would like to know why the North Bend City Council, the mayor and the city administrator refused to consider the draft of the 12-page business plan that was dated November 9, 2020 from the non-profit group that outlined their proposal to fix, manage and reopen the pool?

This plan was modeled after the existing and successful relationship between the city of Coos Bay and the Mingus pool. Our community would have volunteered their time, money and whatever it would take to get the pool repaired and reopened. Instead, the plan was dismissed and a bond went out to the voters to increase their property taxes with a promise that the pool would be repaired. So, why wasn't something done sooner to repair the pool? You had the tax money.

Chris Richmond was the coach for the North Bend High School swim team, South Coast Aquatic Team and manager of the pool until his retirement and he has more knowledge regarding the pool than anyone else in this community. Not a single person from the city of North Bend contacted Chris to ask for his input regarding the pool. The administration took the word from KayLee as gospel regarding the pool but she was only the manager for a few short years after Chris' retirement and she leaned on him when a serious problem arose at the pool. A wise administration would have gotten a second opinion but instead, the community was told that the pool would be repaired and operational this January, then February, or did they mean "Never-rary"?

Guest Opinion

Don’t blame the Upper Basin states

By George Sibley Kyle Roerink’s recent “Writers on the Range” opinion (“A dangerous game of chicken on the Colorado River”) reminds one of Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s 1983 caution in a Washington Post op-ed: “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.”

Roerink, who heads the Great Basin Water Network, claims that the Upper Colorado River Basin states are shirking their responsibilities while the Lower Basin states valiantly work to grapple with the ongoing basin-wide drought. “With (reservoir) water savings gone,” he says, “the Lower Basin has been trying to cope, though the Upper Basin carries on business as usual.”

“Business as usual” in the Upper Basin has always been dealing with the realities of an erratic river, the annual flows of which can go from 5.8 million acre-feet in 1977 to 24.8 million acre-feet in 1984. The Upper Basin lives with that reality, dry years and wet.

But the Bureau of Reclamation has regularly and faithfully released to the Lower Basin, from Powell Reservoir, the Colorado River Compact and Mexican Treaty allotments –- 8.23 million acre-feet only dropping a little below those allotments half a dozen times since Powell began to fill in the 1960s. Dry year or wet, the Lower Basin always gets its full allotment.

Usually, more than that designated quantity is sent to the Lower Basin (as much as 12 million acre-feet above in 1984). The Compact and Mexican Treaty require that the Upper Basin send downriver 82.5 million acre-feet over a 10-year period; as of 2020, the 10-year running total was 92.5 million acre-feet.

So the Lower Basin never bears the brunt of low flows, as Roerink claims; it has always received its Compact and Treaty allocations since Powell Reservoir filled, usually with some extra, regardless of what

was happening in the “real river” the Upper Basin states live with.

It is true that the Lower Basin states are currently “'trying to cope” with river shortages by making some difficult cutbacks in their uses. But what they are trying to cope with is their own excessive use of the water stored in Mead Reservoir.

For decades the three downstream states –- primarily California –have been using considerably more than their Compact allotment of 7.5 million acre-feet; they have also not been subtracting from their allotment the significant losses to evaporation in desert storage and transit (automatically figured into Upper Basin use through the Powell releases).

This has resulted in what is euphemistically called a “structural deficit,” but is just the Lower Basin using more water than its entitlement. That was more or less OK before the Upper Basin use was fully developed, and before the Central Arizona Project came online; the Bureau’s extra releases, above Compact requirements, covered the overuse.

No more.

So now the Lower Basin states, which have been drawing an annual average of 1.2 million acre-feet more out of Mead Reservoir than has flowed into it, are trying to bring their usage down to the actual Compact allotment. Drought might exacerbate that challenge, but it doesn’t cause it, nor does Upper Basin lollygagging.

The Upper Basin has not even used its full Compact allocation because it became obvious that the river could not supply that on a dependable basis. The Upper Colorado River Compact divides the Upper Basin states’ permissible consumptive uses by percentages rather than a set amount like the Lower Basin

gets, but exactly what that allows each state is obviously ambiguous, depending on what “average flow” is used.

Are the Upper Basin states doing their part to ensure prudent uses of the river? They are developing “demand management” programs to pay farmers and ranchers to fallow some of their land to increase flows to Powell Reservoir. Last summer, Blue Mesa Reservoir’s recreation season was cut short to send most of the Reservoir’s water down to bolster Powell.

Denver Water is also working hard to re-plumb its city for reuse, as well as running an ongoing conservation program that has reduced their deliveries to a 1970 level with half a million more people.

Could the Upper Basin states be doing more? Probably, and they probably will be. But they are less to blame for the Lower Basin state’s dilemmas than are the Lower Basin states themselves.

OBITUARIES Arthur Ray Panter

Roland “Rolly” “Rol” James Schmidt

September 17, 1937 – March 10, 2022

April 26, 1943 – March 17, 2022

Arthur Ray Panter, 84, of Bandon, went to be with his Lord March 10, 2022 in Eugene. Ray was born September 17, 1937 in Coquille, Oregon to Leland and Edith Panter.

Ray was born into a Coos County pioneer family, as there were three families in the county in 1850, when the family horses died and thus they became early settlers.

Ray was a graduate of Oregon Technical Institute with a diesel mechanic degree. He not only worked on diesel vehicles but drove well over 1 million miles as both an off highway and long-haul truck driver. He was one of a few drivers who could back a “set of dualies”.

As a member of an elite US Army unit, he received combat training that was the forerunner of the Green Beret units of today. He served post-war in Korea.

Roland “Rolly” “Rol” James Schmidt passed away at Samaritan Evergreen Hospice in Albany, Oregon, with his family by his side, on March 17, 2022 at age 78. He had quick battle with an aggressive metastatic kidney cancer.

Prior to falling ill a month earlier, he enjoyed a full life: traveling, chopping wood, reading, cooking, and taking walks.

He was preceded in death by the love of his life, Cathy, in September 2020.

Rolly and Cathy were married for 52 years. In retirement, they were often found traveling or square dancing or visiting friends/ relatives – all three at the same time if they could arrange it!

Rolly served his country in the U.S. Army for two years and later in the National Guard. He attended Foothill College and San Jose State University with Cathy and became an elementary school teacher for a short period.

He switched careers – and owned the Myrtle Point Chevron station for 27 years. Had you stopped by the gas station, you would have found him in the service bay fixing cars or at the gas pump offering to wash your windshield and check your oil. His customers will remember him as fair, kind, and dedicated to his job. After he sold the station, he worked parttime as a security guard at the Charleston docks. His

The annual Men’s Roundup was where Ray formed his relationship with his Lord. He was a founding member of Friendship Baptist Church in Heppner, Oregon where the family lived for 20 years. Ray was also a long-time elder and member of the Faith Baptist Church in Bandon.

Love of camping and community service were combined in retirement as Ray and his wife volunteered as BLM campground hosts for over 15 years. Nine years were at Edson Creek on the Sixes River and six years were in Alaska at the Yukon River, the Arctic Circle and Coldfoot. They were the furthest north campground hosts in North America. In 2013 they were named National Volunteers of the year by the BLM and received presidential recognition.

Ray is survived by

his wife of over 50 years, Linda of Bandon; daughters, Sarena and Jack Ganzhorn of Port Angeles, WA, Averille and Mark Cupples of Sac City, Iowa; 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Donna and Judy; and great granddaughter, Lindsey.

A Celebration of Ray’s life will be held 1:00 p.m., April 23, 2022 at the Faith Baptist Church, Bandon.

Elsie Monsen April 9, 1922 – January 29, 2022

Elsie Monsen, longtime resident of Coos Bay, passed away on January 29, 2022 in Vancouver, Washington, where she had lived for the past eight years. She was 99 years old, or - as she liked to say - “almost 100!”

Elsie, the third of eleven children born to Homer and Louise Marcum, began her life in Manchester, Kentucky.

When she was a young girl the family moved to a farm near Hamilton, Ohio where she spent most of her childhood years. She recounted happy memories of spending time outside with her dad working on the farm. She met her husband Melvin when he was training to be a radioman with the navy in Oxford, Ohio.

They married before he departed for Europe in 1943 to serve in WWII. After the war Melvin brought Elsie and their first-born son, Doug, out west to his hometown of Coos Bay, Oregon, where they raised their three sons, Doug, Don and Dick and lived until Mel’s death in 2013.

Elsie was a kind and

thoughtful person, warm and outgoing. She loved interacting with people and loved company. She also loved Ohio and claimed that the only good tomato was one from Ohio. As a clerk at JC Penny in downtown Coos Bay, she was a friendly and familiar face to the many customers who came into the store, always patient and helpful.

After retiring she was that same person as a volunteer working in the gift shop at Bay Area hospital. She was good at finding the humor in many situations and preferred to focus on the positive wherever possible.

Together, Elsie and Mel turned an undeveloped piece of property on a hillside in the country into a lovely homestead with an orchard and a large vegetable garden. Kids and grandkids always looked forward to visiting and enjoying grandma’s home-cooked meals including the delicious pies she made with the apples and berries that grew on their property.

She was a talented seamstress and knitter,

gifting family and friends with lovely throws, scarves, and baby blankets that she had knit. Elsie liked to garden and spend time outdoors and she loved sunshine. Perhaps her favorite thing to do was to sit on the patio soaking in the sun.

Besides her three sons, Doug, Don and Dick; Elsie is survived by sisters, Wanda Layne and Georgia Mann; grandchildren, Eric Monsen and Jill Monsen; great grandchildren, Ava and Levi Monsen; daughter-in-law, Mary Monsen; and Dick’s partner, Mike Davis.

She will be missed deeply by her family and friends.

friends and family will remember Rolly as honest, straight forward, and volunteering his time to help others.

Rolly was someone who always saw the best in others – he was critical only of himself and only on occasion. Rolly was an avid reader and he formed strong opinions, which he liked to share. If you knew him, you likely had the opportunity to engage in spirited debates with him. Despite his diehard and energetic commitment to his own point of view, his strongest viewpoint was that everyone has a right to their own opinions. Rolly enjoyed the outdoors. His hauling and chopping of firewood gave him plenty of time to enjoy vigorous exercise and nature. For leisure, Rolly enjoyed camping in remote campgrounds, hiking, and skinny-dipping when given proper solitude.

Rolly is survived by his sister, Joanne Rowse; his brother, Walter (Mar-

ilyn) Schmidt; his sister, Barbara Chellberg; and is predeceased by both his brother, Jerry Schmidt and sister, Georgia Hoffman.

He is survived by his three children, Christine (Todd) Smith, Eileen (Mike) Frey, and Steve (Courtney) Schmidt; and 5 grandchildren.

A funeral service will be held at Holy Name Catholic Church in Coquille, Oregon on March 25, 2022. Later, at a date to be determined, he will be interred with Cathy at her family plot in Wausau, Wisconsin. Receptions will be held at both ceremonies to celebrate his life.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a contribution to the Samaritan Evergreen Hospice in Albany, Oregon. Or consider donating to Pacific Home Health & Hospice in Coos Bay, Oregon, which recently supported Cathy’s care.

Please support hospice care everywhere, so they can continue their invaluable mission to families.

Lisa Grace Pageler July 1, 1959 – March 4, 2022

Lisa Grace Pageler was born July 1, 1959, in North Bend, Oregon, and passed away on March 4, 2022. She was a resident of Scappoose, Oregon.

She is survived by her brother, Mark Hamlin (Doreen), and her cat, Petey.

Lisa and her husband Mike married in 2000, and enjoyed traveling, taking the opportunity to see the sights while visiting friends in the western U.S. She loved Mike very dearly. Both Lisa and Mike enjoyed to read and learn, and had a deep sympathy for those in need. Lisa loved the fact that Mike was a union organizer for the Service Employees International Union (Local 503), sincerely caring for the working class as well as the less fortunate and outof-luck.

Lisa and her sister-

in-law Doreen were exceptionally close, and enjoyed a wonderful friendship from the first time they met. She also deeply loved her nephew, Markus Hamlin; nieces

Hilary Pike (Scotty) and Haily Sargent (Colton); and “grandkids” Hudson, Callahan, Scotlyn, Coleman, and Hayes.

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

MAN BECAME ABUSIVE AMID WIFE’S FIGHT WITH CANCER

DEAR ABBY: I have wanted to write you for years, but my ex-husband thought it was “ridiculous.” We were married 29 years and rarely argued, which led me to believe we had a great marriage. Then, 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a mastectomy and was on chemotherapy for a year.

Shortly after the mastectomy we went on vacation, and my husband began verbally abusing me. He even slapped me. When the chemo caused me to lose my appetite, he told me if I wasn’t going to eat I shouldn’t bother coming to dinner because he didn’t like me being the one who got all the attention. Believe me, I was not seeking attention. Nine years ago he announced he was filing for divorce because my health was a deal-breaker. (“In sickness and in health” was off the table.) The one time I needed his support, I found myself ALONE. I looked up statistics and saw that 80% of men walk out when their wife is ill. It made me sick. The entire time I was going through hell, he was on dating sites looking for a healthy partner, ignoring the pain and suffering I was experiencing with not a care in the world other than preventing his various girlfriends from knowing about each other.

My advice to other women is: Be sure you put aside a nest egg as insurance to get you through life without your “partner.” I was married for 29 years to a complete stranger -- a selfish jerk of a man -- and I am determined to keep going, if only to spite him. -- SURVIVOR IN CALIFORNIA DEAR SURVIVOR: Your suggestion to put money aside in case of emergencies is a good

one for all women, not just those who might be diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. However, I’m pretty sure the statistic you quoted about the number of men who leave their wives when the going gets tough may be off the mark.

Although desertion has been known to happen, nowhere near 80% of men are selfish, abusive cads like the one you married. While I don’t blame you for being angry, for your own sake, please don’t let “spite” be your only reason for living. What a waste of time that would be.

DEAR ABBY: I feel fortunate to be the mother of two healthy children. At times, I encounter other moms whose children have severe food allergies or special needs. I’m afraid I say the wrong thing when addressing them.

Parenthood is a challenge, and for some, it’s more challenging than for others. I sympathize with their additional challenges. However, when I said it, they were offended. I lost a close friend because of it. What’s an appropriate response when this situation comes up? -SPEECHLESS IN ARIZONA DEAR SPEECHLESS: Parents of children with special needs are not looking for sympathy. When you are told about a child’s food allergy, thank the mother for alerting you, and assure her that when her child is with you, you will be extra careful to ensure he or she is safe. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

days earlier. The baby was immediately rushed to the hospital and life-flighted to Portland. A later report said he would live.

What struck me was the fact that "authorities found a non-criminal amount of heroin in the motel room."

Stop and let this sink in.

The fact that the heroin (as well as meth and cocaine) was considered to be non-criminal is because of Oregon's Ballot Measure 110 (the most lenient drug law in the country). Apparently those who voted for this law did so because they thought it meant that people who were caught with drugs would be required to enter treatment. That is not what happened. Even proponents are begrudgingly admitting that the law had unintended consequences. You think???

A county official told me recently that of a large number of tickets issued (yes, they are the equivalent of $100 traffic tickets) only one of those cited even bothered to go to court.

Maybe they paid their fines, I am not sure, but for sure they received no treatment.

As drug use and deaths expand across Oregon it might be time to start an initiative petition to overturn Ballot Measure 110, which might stop the flow of drug users who view Oregon as a safe haven.

A letter in Sunday's Register-guard said it best.

It was titled "Voters fooled on Measure 110 ... legalizing certain quantities of life-ruining substances such as meth and heroin have been duped. A year later and there is no clear indication, contrary of the ballot measure contention, that funded treatment programs have materialized. Hard-drug abusers should be given an option to receive the treatment they need, or be forced out of our communities through incarceration."

As the writer said, "Police have one less tool to combat rampant drug abuse and property crime in our state."

Although this was an initiative (put forth by heaven knows who), I do not believe the Governor or the legislature took a strong position against it .... if any.

You might ask them why not! * * * I was in the Continuum Center last week when I looked up and saw a dear familiar face: it was Sally Ford, who directed some of the most fantastic shows ever to appear on the Sprague Theater stage including Beauty & The Beast and Chicago.

Sally has long since moved away, and now lives in Molalla, but anyone who saw some of her productions would never forget her.

A couple of days later I saw she and her friend having coffee with Peter Braun, who was also active in Bandon Playhouse for many years. They had lots to talk about.

Sally looked great, but was utilizing a walker as she awaits knee surgery,

I searched through all the plays that Bandon Playhouse has put on, dating back to the '70s, and it brought back so many warm memories for the many nights I've spent at the Sprague ... and hoping they will once again bring us that kind of entertainment now that things are beginning to open up once again.

We've been gifted through the years by Maria Merriam and MarLo Dance Studio, The Almich family and New Artists Productions, who introduced so many young people to the art of theater, and to Bandon Showcase, for the performances they have brought to the stage.

Time to applaud again .... * * * The news that many residents of Seabird Drive have been hoping for came this week when the City was notified by ODOT that our request to lower the speed limit on Seabird had been granted. It will now be 30 miles an hour, and after a period of time to educate people of the change, the police department has assured us that they will enforce the new speed limit as well as make an ever greater effort at slowing people down on Highway 101! * * * I plan to do a wrap-up of candidates who will appear on the May 17 primary ballot before the election, but one thing I did notice was that Curry County Commissioner Court Boice, a Republican, has thrown his hat into the ring to run for Governor. He is a cousin to Maude, Emily and Bruce Capps, as well as Wayne and Don Campbell, and many others as in the original Boice family from Langlois, there were 6 boys and 6 girls, including Mary Capps of Bandon and the late Alma Deets and onetime Curry County Sheriff Allen Boice.

It is also important to note that since there are only two candidates in the

Coos County Sheriff's race, Gabe Fabrizio and Mike Kinnaird, they will not be

on the ballot in May, but on the General Election ballot in November.

SWOCC’s Garcia is national champion grappler The World Jovan Garcia never placed better than fifth in a state high school wrestling tournament during his career in Arizona, but he recently became the third national champion from Southwestern Oregon Community College.

Garcia won the 133-pound weight class at the recent NJCAA national championships, helping the Lakers place 13th in the team race at Council Bluffs, Iowa.

The grappler from Tolleson, Ariz., didn’t start wrestling until his sophomore year of high school.

In the NJCAA meet, he won five straight matches to take the title, joining Dustin Rogers in 2005 and Tanner Harvey in 2018 as national champions for the Lakers.

Garcia opened the tournament by beating Shamar Baines of Rowan College of South Jersey-Gloucester by technical fall and then

topped Cael Bartels of Rochester Community & Technical College 14-4.

In the quarterfinals, he beat Elon Rodsriguez of Triton 3-1. He then edged Dalen Moore of Northeast Oklahoma A&M 11-10 in the semifinals and topped Justin Mejia of Clackamas 6-3 in the championship bout. Mejia had pinned Garcia in the regional tournament.

Clackamas won the team title for the fourth straight year.

SWOCC had one other placer, Jr Scott of The Dalles, who was sixth at 184 pounds.

After an opening bye, Scott beat Jaden Roberts of Rowan College of South Jersey-Gloucester 5-0 before losing to eventual champion Josh McFarland of Iowa Western 16-4.

He came back to win two consolation matches, beating Chase McCleish of NIACC 12-2 and Giovanni Jackson of Harper 4-3. But he lost to Tyce Raddon of

Western Wyoming 11-1 in the third-place semifinals and to Jackson White of Northeast Oklahoma A&M by pin in the fifth –place match. Scott was SWOCC’s only regional champion.

Three of the other five SWOCC wrestlers in the national tournament won at least one match.

Joey Thompson won his first match at 125 pounds before losing twice. Both Nick Moore (149) and Cameron Bauman (197) lost their first match before winning two consolation matches.

Jett Nelson (157) and Jayden Dobson (285) both advanced to the NJCAA meet but did not win a match.

SWOCC scored 44.5 points. Clackamas, which placed nine of its 10 wrestlers, scored 136.5 points to win the title.

The Lakers placed third in the regional tournament behind Clackamas and North Idaho.

SWOCC softball team High schoolers finish season in all-star games builds nine-game winning streak The World The Southwestern Oregon Community College softball team has been on a roll, winning nine straight games to start the season 14-2.

Most of the wins since a 1-0 loss to Bellevue on March 5 have come by wide margins, shortened to five innings by the mercy rule.

During the stretch, SWOCC has beaten Edmonds 14-6 and 7-1, Bellevue 10-2, Blue Mountain 9-1 and 18-0, Big Bend 14-3 and 12-3, and Walla Walla 12-6 and 12-8.

The Lakers’ South Region opening doubleheader at Clackamas last weekend was postponed due to inclement weather.

the hot start to her season and has eight home runs (tied for third in NWAC) and 25 RBIs (tied for fourth).

Matautia is second in doubles with eight and Mansfield has seven and Hannah Tennant six.

Matautia and Smokey are tied for ninth in RBIs with 21 and Tennant has 20 and Mansfield 19.

A pair of Marshfield seniors led their team to a one-point victory in the annual Big Mike South Coast All-Star Game, a showcase of basketball talent held after the state tournament at Southwestern Oregon Community College.

The event, which included boys and girls games, featured players from every high school between Reedsport and Brookings.

The contests were played using college rules, which meant shot clocks were in play and the boys play two 20-minute halves, while the girls played four 10-minute quarters.

The boys game was a one-point affair, with the Red team edging the Blue team 93-92. Marshfield seniors Mason Ainsworth and Monty Swinson both did the majority of their scoring in the second half, while finishing with 23 and 18 points, respectively.

Brad Russell of Brookings-Harbor added 15 points while North Bend’s Landon Rinderle scored 14 and Cooper Lang of Bandon 10.

Marshfield’s Pierce Davidson had 20 points to lead the Blue team, while Dom Montiel, a teammate on the Pirates, added 14. Gold Beach’s Jake Westerman scored 12 and Bandon’s Andrew Robertson 10, while three others scored eight; Jake Beaman of Brookings-Harbor, Kevin Jones of North Bend and Maddux Mateski of Marshfield.

The Red team overcame a five-point halftime deficit to pull out the win.

The girls game wasn’t nearly so close, with the Red team pulling out a 7858 victory.

Zoe Carlson of Brookings-Harbor hit four 3-pointers and scored 14 points to lead the winning team, while North Bend’s Adrianna Frank had 13, Coquille’s Hailey Combie 12, Marshfield’s Charlie Dea 10, Kailina Hamilton of Gold Beach nine and Maddi Reynolds of Myrtle Point eight.

Ashlyn Schofield of Brookings-Harbor led the Blue team with 14 points, while Bandon’s Olivia

Thompson had 13, North Bend’s Trinity Barker 10 and Kate Miles of Myrtle Point nine.

The all-star series is hosted by SWOCC each winter and sponsored by the Bay Area Sportsman’s Association. It is named after the late Mike Helfrich, who supported high school sports for many years on the South Coast and also was active in BASA.

SNAP benefits increasing by $65 million in April STAFF REPORT Most Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will receive emergency allotments in April.

The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020. This gives SNAP recipients additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In April, approximately 399,000 SNAP households will receive approximately $65 million in extra food benefits in addition to their regular SNAP benefits.

“We know that many rely on these additional emergency food benefits to get enough healthy food for themselves and their families,” said deputy director of the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) Self-Sufficiency Programs Deputy Director Claire Seguin said. “We also know that many Oregonians are still struggling to meet their basic needs and we

encourage them to contact our partners at 211 and the Oregon Food Bank for support during this difficult time.”

Current SNAP households will receive emergency allotments on April 12.

Emergency allotments will be issued April 29 or May 3 for households who

did not receive benefits in the first monthly issuance.

SNAP recipients do not have to take any action to receive these supplemental benefits as they will be issued directly on their EBT cards.

More information about emergency allotments is available at https://www. oregon.gov/dhs/ASSIS-

TANCE/FOOD-BENEFITS/Pages/Emergency-Allotments.aspx.

Questions about your SNAP benefits should be directed to the ONE Customer Service Center at 1-800-699-9075.

If your household receives SNAP and your income or the number of people in your household

has changed, it could impact your benefits. It is important to make sure ODHS has the most up-todate information.

You can report any changes to your income or household in many ways: Online at: ONE.Oregon. gov By mail at: ONE Customer Service Center, PO

Mako is super lovable, friendly, loves to play with his stuffed toys, and is very active for an older dog. He apparently doesn’t want to live with other dogs, though he has lived with cats a long time ago. He does great for baths and great on walks! He is super sweet and very loyal.

Eddie is shy and would do well in a quiet home with not a lot of sudden movement or loud noises. He is not a lap cat but he loves living indoors. If you want a cat that isn’t in your face, this is your guy.

Eddie enjoys fishing, crabbing and living on the coast. He is our Tom Selleck of the Cat House, (with all his handsome smoothness).

In Loving Memory of

Pepper “Peps” Underwood Pepper “Peps” Underwood, passed away March 11, 2022. 10:30 pm at home, in the arms of her loving parents.

The first time I met Pepper I had come home from work and there she was… sitting on my front porch. Baffled, I opened the door and she walked in and sat on the couch. This happened on and off for the following week. The neighborhood kids would knock on my door and say “Hey, your dog is waiting outside for you.” to which I replied, “I don’t have a dog.” Then Pepper would push her way past us, into my home and proceed to make herself comfy, staring up at me patiently, with her small, glassy, button eyes. After realizing I had no choice in the matter, I accepted this new arrangement. Little did I know this cute dirty Teddy Bear would become my best friend.

She squeezed her way into my heart, filling it with unconditional love. She touched so many souls around her with kindness & affection. She was by my side through thick and thin. And as the years passed I couldn’t imagine my life without her.

She was not my dog, I was her human.

OBITUARIES Donald Boyd Ivy February 21, 1951 - July 19, 2021

Chief Donald Boyd Ivy of the Coquille Indian Tribe passed away on Monday, July 19, 2021, peacefully at home with his family by his side.

He had fought a courageous seven month battle with cancer.

Don was preceded in death by his parents, Fred Ivy and Mary Gladys Burns Ivy. He is survived by his wife, Lucinda DiNovo; his sister and brotherin-law, Corrine and Greg Burnum; his son and daughterin-law, Jon Ivy and Soo Lee; and grandson Elliott Ivy. Family and close friends remember Don as intensely loyal, joyful and private, valuing his family and home life above all. A lifelong learner and scholar, he avidly sought out and read everything he could find addressing Northwest prehistory and history, current environmental and Native American issues, and popular culture.

In the public sphere, Don was a natural leader widely recognized for his intelligence, integrity, creativity and boundless intellectual curiosity.

His infectious energy and commitment to the common good enabled him to establish new, productive relationships with and among diverse groups and individuals. A skilled consensus builder, he advanced understanding of his Coquille Tribal ancestors’ traditional culture while helping to create unprecedented collaborations at state and local levels. His work included active participation in a wide range of community events and activities. Above all, he was deeply committed to advancing core values and quietly strengthening the next generation.

Don is credited with establishment of Oregon’s exceptionally positive intertribal and inter-governmental relationships, expanded opportunities for education, increased tribal economic independence, and invaluable productive communication networks within and among tribal, state and local governments, academic institutions and non-tribal communities. His legacy includes vastly increased understanding and appreciation of the history, traditions, culture and continuing significance of the Coquille Indian Tribe, and heightened awareness of the relationship of natural systems to contemporary issues. Much of his work was accomplished quietly, often anonymously. His goal was always to “make good things happen.”

Don was born February 21, 1951, in North Bend, Oregon.

He spent much of his childhood and early youth roaming the Coos and Coquille Tribal homelands’ backwaters and bayfronts; surfing its ocean beaches; exploring its coves, headlands and tidelands; and venturing through the forests, prairies and banks of the Middle Fork Coquille River.

His passion for discovery and fascination with the natural

cultural renaissance was recognized early by Don’s cousin, the late George Wasson, who predicted the house would inspire a revival of traditional dancing. In fact, the Plank House quickly became the natural gathering place for tribal members and youth to dance and drum during annual solstice celebrations.

world remained with him throughout his life.

Don’s energy, resourcefulness and strong work ethic were apparent from an early age. As a youngster he sold pumpkins from a Hood River fruit stand, picked beans in Eugene, peeled bark for chittum buyers, and collected and sold scrap metal. In his teens he worked at the local Sunset Market, then as a stock boy for Albertson’s in North Bend. At 25, he was appointed Albertson’s Portland-based store director, managing stores in Oregon and Washington until 1982. In 1983, he accepted a position with E&J Gallo Winery and was ultimately named Gallo’s territory/brand manager for all of Western Oregon.

Don returned to Coos Bay in 1989 for the Coquille Indian Tribe’s inaugural restoration celebration. (After decades of work, the tribe had regained federal recognition on June 28, 1989.) Initially a volunteer on the tribe’s Self-Sufficiency Planning Committee, he returned to Coos Bay permanently in 1991 as the tribe’s first self-sufficiency planning coordinator and economic development specialist. During the next several years, he helped write the Tribe’s Constitution and ordinances, and helped develop and implement the first tribal budgets. He also assisted in drafting articles of incorporation for the thennew Coquille Economic Development Corp. (CEDCO) and facilitated the tribe’s acquisition of Tupper Rock in Bandon, Ore., a site of enormous cultural significance.

In 1993, Don began working as a consultant to the Affiliated Tribes of the Northwest Indians and the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, advising Oregon and Northern California tribal governments on development of tribal constitutions, on governance, and on economic

and community development projects. His clients included the Yurok Tribe, the Klamath Tribes, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, the Lummi Nation, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians, and the Tulalip Tribes. In 1996, Don assisted the Coquille Indian Tribe with reorganization of CEDCO and revision of its articles of incorporation.

In 1997, Don was hired to establish and lead the Coquille Indian Tribe’s then-new Cultural Resources Program.

He recognized that the tribe’s recently regained sovereignty mandated even more intensive work to locate, reassemble and interpret scattered documentary and physical evidence of tribal history and culture. Don believed strongly that accurate knowledge of tribal culture and history was essential for current and future generations’ academic, economic and political progress.

Don independently began collecting and researching written materials concerning local tribal history, and he began exchanging that information and cultural knowledge with historians, anthropologists, geologists and archaeologists at Oregon State University and the University of Oregon. He soon developed professional relationships — and in many cases, close personal friendships – with leading academics working throughout Southwestern Oregon. Field researchers noted that Don’s deep familiarity with traditional cultural practices altered their understanding and recognition of historic landscapes. Undergraduate and graduate students working under Don’s supervision found him to be an exceptionally engaged and inspiring mentor who strongly encouraged their professional development.

Don was especially proud of the many students who, after working alongside him,

obtained advanced degrees in related fields.

At the same time, Don worked with other tribal representatives statewide to help state, federal and local land managers recognize and modify practices that inadvertently harmed tribal cultural resources or destroyed culturally significant sites. He was instrumental in creation of Oregon’s Culture Cluster, through which all nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon and 19 state agencies achieved productive communication and more effective protections of cultural resources. The group still follows Don’s vision of collective stewardship as its core principle. The strong intergovernmental relationships he helped build have made Oregon a national leader in tribal-state land stewardship.

To further education and awareness of the Coquille tribal identity and understanding of the Coquille Tribe’s perspectives, Don designed and organized an annual Coquille Tribe Culture Conference.

Under his leadership, the conference was held annually for 11 years, attracting the enthusiastic participation of tribal members, academics and agency representatives.

Don managed the conference to maximize opportunities for individual and group discussions that would further sensitivity to tribal concerns and build positive partnerships to enhance protection of cultural resources.

In 2005, Don became deeply involved in design and construction of what would become the tribe’s now-iconic Community Plank House.

Embodying Don’s vision of connected past, present and future, the building combines a form anchored in traditional culture, with a welcoming interior easily adapted to a wide variety of tribal celebrations and events. The significance of this structure for the tribe’s

As another facet of the Cultural Resources Program, in 2007 Don assisted in the creation of the Kilkich Youth Corps. Fired by his energy and passion for continued stewardship of ancestral homelands, the program engaged tribal teens in the physical work of cultural resource and environmental restoration. Like so many of Don’s initiatives, the Youth Corps provided its participants with immediate benefit while also preparing them to meet future challenges.

The youth gained knowledge and experienced meaningful accomplishment, while also gaining basic life skills and a sense of personal responsibility.

Don also worked with partners to ensure that young people throughout the region were aware of local tribes’ histories and cultures.

Beginning in late 2004, he, along with representatives of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians and the Coos History Museum, created what was at the time the only structured multi-week school program highlighting local tribes’ traditions, technologies and continued presence in the community. The program proved so popular and effective in addressing existing curriculum gaps that it now serves schools in Coos, Curry, Lane and Douglas counties.

In 2017, inspired in part by this program, the Oregon Legislature mandated creation and teaching of K-12 Native American curricula statewide.

In 2014, Don was elected chief of the Coquille Tribal Council, the primary cultural and spiritual representative of the tribe. He served in this role for seven years, retiring shortly before his death.

Between 1990 and 2020, Don participated as a highly valued member of state and local boards and committees - literally too many to count.

They include the Oregon Heritage Commission (vice chair), Oregon Racial Justice Council, American Leadership Forum, Southwestern Oregon Community College Foundation, Partnership for Coastal Watersheds, Port of Coos Bay Marine Reserves Recommendation Committee, Coos-Curry-Douglas Business Development Corp. Board, Coos County Planning Commission and South Slough Natural Resource Advisory Committee.

Geology Lecture - A conference honoring the life and legacy of Coquille Tribal Chief Don Ivy Southwestern Oregon Community College’s popular Geology Lecture Series continues for the 202122 academic year with a series of talks covering “Relationships Between Elakha (Sea Otter) and a Sense of Place on Oregon’s South Coast,” a conference honoring the life and legacy of Chief Don Ivy. Join on Saturday, April 16, from 1 to 4 p.m. At this time, we expect to be live in the Hales Center for the Performing Arts on the Coos Bay campus and also streaming via Livestream at the college website (https://livestream.com/ swocc/geology2021-22).

This conference brings together a number of experts including Bob Bailey (president of the Elakha Alliance) delivering “Elakha Alliance: Bringing Sea Otters Home”; Dr. Roberta “Bobbi” Hall (Oregon State University,

Emeritus) discussing “With the Coquille Indian Tribe — and the Sea Otters”; Dr. William “Bill” Robbins (Oregon State University, Emeritus), author of Hard Times in Paradise: Coos Bay, Oregon with “The Floodtide of EuroAmericans and the Disruption of Elakha”; and Dr. Loren Davis (Oregon State University) talking about “The Importance of the Devils Kitchen Archaeological Site”.

The talks will be followed by a panel discussion/question and answer session with the speakers.

The conference is dedicated to the life and legacy of Chief Don Ivy. When Chief Ivy was recognized as the Southwestern Oregon Community College’s Distinguished Alumnus in the Spring of 2021, several individuals associated with the Elakha Alliance were in the virtual audience. The

idea of hosting an event on the south coast involving Elakha and sense of place conceived. Following Ivy’s passing in July 2021, the college began to plan a conference dedicated to many of the tenets that Chief Ivy lived by, among them recognizing the cultural identity of Native Peoples of the region, supporting education, improving community and fostering a greater awareness for land stewardship.

It’s the intent that those attending will go forward with a better “sense of place.”

It is also hoped, that like Don, attendees will all go out and “think deeply, make an impact, share our knowledge and go on to encourage others to do the same.”

In addition to the speakers, representatives of The Coquille Tribe, Elakha Alliance, South Slough Na-

Chief Don Ivy

tional Estuarine Research Reserve and The University of Oregon’s Charleston Marine Life Center will be present in the Hales Center lobby before and after the lecture.

All lectures in the series are free. The final speaker in the series this year

will be Dr. Ron Metzger (Southwestern Professor of Earth Sciences) on Saturday, May 21 at 7:00 pm with “The Final Lecture?

Oribatid Mites, Conodonts and Musings from Nearly Four Decades in the College Classroom.” Lecture Series sponsors include

DB Western, Southwestern Foundation, The Mill Resort and Casino, and the American Geophysical Union.

geology students.

In the private sphere, Don’s adventurous spirit and curiosity inspired a lifelong enthusiasm for travel. He loved exploring unfamiliar cities and countrysides on foot, simply to discover new people and places. In addition to visiting much of the United States, he made multiple trips to Europe, Central America and East Asia, with Thailand, Cambodia, China and Cuba among his favorite destinations.

Throughout his life, Don continued to spend countless hours fishing, crabbing and clamming on Coos Bay. A talented chef and generous host, he was happiest when cooking and sharing meals with family and friends. In gatherings big and small, he always made a point of individually welcoming each guest with a warm hug, and he created an atmosphere in which meaningful conversation could flourish.

Having transformed his backyard with an intensive assortment of native and exotic plants, he delighted in the diversity of visiting birds, and later qualified as a master gardener through OSU Extension.

Don consistently chose to share his many gifts in the true spirit of potlatch, a tradition shared by the Coquille Tribe with many other Pacific Northwest

tribes. In Don’s words: “To potlatch is to give and receive; to share and to care; and to pay back (and pay forward) for the blessings and benefits we have received – or hope to receive. It is about helping those who need help now, with hopes that they can and will help us later. As we are helpful to each other, so too are we helped in our own lives.”

A public memorial service and Celebration of Don’s life will occur at 1 p.m., Saturday, May 7, at The Mill Casino ● Hotel, 3201 Tremont Avenue, North Bend, Ore., with a reception to follow.

In lieu of flowers the family asks donations in Don’s memory be made to the Donald Ivy Memorial Scholarship Endowment at Southwestern Oregon Community College.

Don was a student at SWOCC and in 2021 was named the SWOCC Distinguished Alumnus for his significant contributions to the community. To help students and the community in Don’s honor, donations can be made online at www.socc. edu/give.

Donations can also be made online to the Elakha Alliance www. elakhaalliance.org/ donivy/, of which Don was a founding member and whose mission is to restore a healthy population of sea otters to the Oregon Coast.

and state interests. He repeatedly devoted time and effort for the benefit of the entire South Coast community.

He was among the first to recognize the multiple economic, social and cultural benefits of constructing a new museum on the downtown Coos Bay waterfront, and he helped inspire the Coquille Indian Tribe to provide a generous early gift of $1 million that triggered successful construction fundraising. The facility was completed in 2013, with the Coquille Tribe its single largest donor.

Under Don’s recent leadership, the Coquille Indian Tribe acted as the first vocal supporter and an important partner in creation of Southwestern Oregon Community College’s new Health & Science Technology Center.

Don was also generous with his time, appearing as a highly popular and sought-after speaker at innumerable community events. He also accepted various invitations to assist with educational programs at the community college, including field trips for participants in Road Scholar Elder Hostel excursions, and for

The Chamber Minute: Have a BOLD vision Isn’t it amazing how quickly time passes and what is important to community life changes? Do you remember Vollsted Volkswagen or the Emporium or the Hub in downtown Coos Bay? Change, that is directed with vision, can chart a course to a great future.

Let’s continue to focus on those bold ideas.

BOLD is a community defining its vision, mission and values and collaborating with civic officials and leaders throughout the community to come together for the success of the Bay Area. Our community has survived because of the passion of the people that live here. Where

would this area be without the John Whitty’s, the Louie Simpson’s, the Gordon Ross’s or dozens of others throughout our history. Where would this community be without all of us that care enough about it to come to activities like EOF and learn what opportunities and challenges are facing our economy in the future, so that we can plan to succeed? You are all leaders. Everyone plays an important role in this community. It’s our time to come together with a common vision for, and a common voice defining, what our home is and will be. It is time that we took the reins and define who we are,

what we want to be and what is good for us and our children. Now that’s a BOLD idea.

In a study about nations, it was asked, is a nation’s positive image of its future a function of its success or is its success a function of its positive image of its future? What they found was, in all cases, significant vision preceded significant success. Many nations began their climb to greatness without the right resources, population base or strategic advantages. What they did have was a detailed, extensive and significant vision of what they could become. This is also true about communities, busi-

nesses and even you. So, how about helping detail our vision for Oregon’s Bay Area.

What are the most noticeable differences you would like to see here in the next 10 years?

What would be different?

How will the population mix differ from what it is now? What lifestyle changes have taken place? How will these differences affect your city? How will local government be different?

What would it be like to live here? What would be the same?

I’m asking each of you to take some time, put some thought into it and detail your vision for our home. Use some of your

BOLD ideas in the plan.

This is an open book test, so get as much help from your family and friends as you want. Then let’s share our thoughts and dreams. Next constructing a plan to do something about them. This is really the first step in creating our own future.

So, like the old hymn, we can truly “brighten the corner where you are”.
