Woman facing multiple felonies after hit-and-run incident

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

A 31-year-old Coos Bay woman is behind bars, facing multiple felony charges and possibly murder after she ran over and killed a Coos Bay man in the parking lot at Pony Village Mall.

Kelsey Jean Culver is facing

charges of attempted murder, first degree assault and felony hit and run after the incident that left 41-year-old Kyle Alan Hagquist clinging to life. Hagquist died Thursday afternoon, and District Attorney R. Paul Frasier said he was going to ask the charges to be escalated to second degree murder.

According to a press release from Capt. Cal Mitts with the North Bend Police Department, police received a 9-1-1 call at 5:21 p.m. Tuesday reporting a pedestrian versus vehicle accident in the parking lot near the Mini Pet Mart at Pony Village Mall.

Witnesses reported a silver or gold Lexus SUV hit a man and

fled the scene heading south. Witnesses were also able to get the vehicle’s license plate number.

While emergency services from North Bend responded to the mall, a North Bend police officer witnessed the SUV heading south on Koos Bay Boulevard. A short time later, 9-1-1 dispatchers received reports of the same

Lexus SUV driving recklessly on Highway 101 heading south from Koos Bay Boulevard.

The Lexus being driven by Culver sideswiped another SUV at the intersection of Newport and Highway 101 before crashing while trying to turn at the corner Please see HIT AND RUN, Page A2

After the North Bend City Council voted to purchase an ice skating rink, skating could become a winter time tradition in North Bend.

Ice skating rink could be coming to North Bend

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

An ice skating rink could soon be seen in downtown North Bend.

The North Bend City Council voted 4-2 to spend up to $75,000 to purchase a synthetic ice skating rink, with the goal of increasing tourism during the traditionally slower winter months.

Mayor Jessica Engelke said bringing in an ice skating rink would be good for the city, good for local businesses and good for the downtown region.

“I really think we are meeting our goals that we set as a council,” Engelke said.

“One of the strategic gals we came up with

was helping our North Bend businesses and revitalizing downtown North Bend. I think the idea of purchasing a synthetic ice skating rink that will last 15 to 20 years is something that will do both. I know our city staff has done a lot of research on these kinds of events and what it can do for tourism.

Engelke said studies have shown most of the people who drive through North Bend don’t stop in the city. She believes a skating rink could change that.

“When we look at the strategic projects we have in our community, the key is to get them out of their cars and to stay in North Bend where they can support our businesses,” Engelke said. “I like this activity also for some of the youth in our community. It’s a

family friendly event.”

The funding for the ice skating rink would be 100 percent from the transient lodging tax visitors pay when staying in local hotels or motels. None of the funding would come from property taxes. Under state law, the lodging tax can only be used to promote tourism.

“You can’t use the pool money on this, and you can’t use this money on the pool,” City Administrator David Milliron said. “You can’t use this money on paving or anything else.”

The majority of the council supported the idea, saying anything that would get people to stop in North Bend is a good thing.

NB Council rejects phase 2 bid for pool repairs

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The North Bend City Council accepted a bid two weeks ago to replace most of the aging infrastructure in the North Bend Pool.

But the council rejected a bid for phase 2 last week, saying the expense was simply too high.

Instead, the council tasked city staff with revisiting the scope of the pool repairs, hoping to lower the cost.

The council vote will not delay the reopening of the pool, which is not likely to happen before October due to waiting times for the major equipment needed at the pool.

Public Works Director Ralph Dunham told the council city staff will reconsider the phase 2 elements in an effort to bring the cost closer to what was budgeted.

He explained the city budgeted $940,000 for all three phases of the pool work, and awarded West Coast Contractors a bid of $785,000 for phase 1. The lone bid for phase 2, also from West Coast Contractors, came in at $322,000, more than double

what was projected.

“We’re trying for long-term fixes here,” Dunham said. “The pool is 65 years old and this point we’re trying to get another 50 years out of it. We think we can re-scope the elements to a 30-year life, and that would save us about half the money.”

Dunham said both phases 1 and 2 must be finished before the pool can be reopened. Phase 2 includes items such as painting the bottom of the pool, fixing showers in the bathrooms and making other minor repairs.

“We’re going to go back and rethink what are some of the things we can do,” Mayor Jessica Engelke said. “We’re not going to go forward with phase 2, we’re just going to see what we can fit into our budget.”

City Administrator David Milliron said rejecting the bid would not delay the opening of the pool because the wait time on the major equipment needed for phase 1 would move into October.

“While we’re waiting for that equipment so we can install it, we can do the phase 2 then,” Dunham said. “The critical items PHOTO GALLERY: Union protests stagnant wages as prices continue to rise

Two weeks after the state of Oregon lifted most of its COVID mandates, there has not been a major outbreak of cases, although the virus continues to plague some in Coos County.

As of Thursday, Coos County has reported 10,618 total COVID cases since the pandemic began more than two years ago.

There were 67 active cases Thursday, with five people reported in the hospital. In the last week, two more COVID-linked deaths were reported, bringing the total since the pandemic began to 152.

While there has been some discussion about a new sub-variant of the Omicron variant that is causing problems elsewhere, Dr. Eric Gleason, assistant director of Coos Health & Wellness, said he didn’t expect too many changes locally.

“BA2 is stealth omicron, which we’ve kind of been talking about for a while,” Gleason said.

“At the time, it didn’t seem to be more contagious than Omicron, just harder to spot.

“I’m not sure it’s something were going to go backwards for. I don’t think we’re going to establish any more mandates because of it.”

Some reports have shown BA2 has been seen in Oregon, but with the vast majority of state residents either vaccinated or recently infected with Omicron, the danger for the general population remains low.

Gleason said while he does not anticipate a mask mandate or other preventative measures returning, he encouraged those in high-risk categories to continue to use safety measures if they wish.

“If you’re concerned about it, you can still take preventative measures,” Gleason said. “That’s fine. I see a lot of people using preventative measures on their own.”

Gleason said while the numbers are low, the one area he is watching closely is schools, which have much lower vaccination rates than the general population. He said the next two weeks will likely tell the story in local schools.

“I think it’s still out there,” Gleason said. “I think when school gets back into session after spring break, that will be our litmus test. It’s still out there.”

But for now, things are going pretty well.

“I think, knock on wood, everything is going OK right now,” Gleason said. “We’re still seeing some cases, but we’re not seeing all the cases due to home testing. In the last few months, with the changes of at home testing, we’ve seen numbers going down.”

Bandon man killed in accident

A Bandon man was killed when a driver failed to stop at a stop sign and crashed into his vehicle Tuesday night.

According to a press release from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, 65-yearold Michael Rodgers died in the accident. The other driver, 21-year-old Evan Melton of Myrtle Point was cited for failing to obey a traffic control device.

The sheriff’s department

reported 9-1-1 dispatchers received a call at 6:30 p.m. reporting a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Seven Devils Road and Whiskey Run Lane in Bandon.

Bandon Fire Department, Bandon Police Department, Coos County Sheriff’s Office and Bay Cities Ambulance all responded.

An investigation revealed a 2012 Volkswagen,

driven by Melton failed to stop at the stop sign at the intersection. The vehicle struck a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta, driven by Rogers.

Rogers’ vehicle sustained extensive damage to the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Bandon Fire Department had to use jaws of life to extricate Rogers from the vehicle. Rogers was transported to Bay Area Hospital by Bay Cities Ambulance.

OBITUARY

Melton and his passenger did not sustain any injuries in the crash.

Melton was issued citation for Failing to Obey Traffic Control Device. Both vehicles were removed from the scene by Mast Brother’s Towing.

The Coos County Sheriff’s Office was later notified by Bay Area Hospital that Rogers passed away from his injuries. Next of kin has been notified.

Brown Signs Bill to Ensure Oregon Will Now ‘Buy Clean’ When it Comes to Materials for Infrastructure Projects Oregon Governor Kate Brown has signed into law House Bill 4139, which will ensure the state is modernizing infrastructure in a more environmentally friendly way to fight climate change. The new law, Buy Clean Oregon, will require state regulators to conduct life cycle assessments for select construction and maintenance materials used for public infrastructure projects and also identify funding for medium- and heavy-duty zero-emissions charging infrastructure.

“When we talk about legislation that is good for the environment, too often people fear that it will come at the expense of jobs or the economy,” said Speaker of the Oregon House of

Representatives, Representative Dan Rayfield (D-16). “We need to lift up the bills that prove such a fear is largely unfounded, and this bill is a prime example. It unifies something that is good for the environment by reducing carbon emissions, and also good for jobs and frankly the whole industry.”

The BlueGreen Alliance and its labor and environmental allies have successfully made progress on similar legislation in several states, including Colorado, Minnesota, Washington, and California, where the first Buy Clean law passed in 2017. Groups in support of the measure said it will accelerate the state’s goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2040.

ported by ambulance to Bay Area Hospital and later flown by helicopter to River Bend Hospital. He was on life support for almost two days before he died.

The Coos County Major Crime Team and Coos County Crash Team responded to assist with the investigation.

After being detained, Culver was taken to Bay Area Hospital, where she was evaluated and released.

She was then transported

“Buy Clean Oregon ensures taxpayer money is being spent wisely, in a way that protects our state’s environment, economy, and the health of all Oregonians. This new law will level the playing field for responsible Oregon manufacturers that invest in efficiency upgrades, pollution controls, and fairly-produced, low-carbon materials,” said Oregon state Policy Manager Ranfis Giannettino Villatoro. “Today’s bill signing not only underscores Oregon’s strong commitment to clean procurement and manufacturing but also positions Oregon alongside neighbors that have passed similar laws—making the West Coast the home for Buy Clean.”

to the Coos County Jail, where she is being held on the three charges.

While the exact details of the alleged crime are not being released, Frasier said investigators believe Culver intentionally hit Hagquist before fleeing the mall.

“The charging instrument says she intended to cause his death, so the paperwork I filed with the court says yes,” Frasier said when asked if the hit and run was on purpose.

“I definitely think it’s worth a try, and if it doesn’t work, you can sell it second hand,” Councilor Susanna Noordhoff said.

“I think it’s a good idea.”

Councilor Timm Slater ultimately voted against the proposal, but he said it’s still a good idea. His argument was the lodging tax money could be better spent in other ways.

Leonard Lloyd Scolari July 12, 1933 – March 18, 2022

Memorial Services have been held at Holy Name Catholic Church in Coquille for Leonard Lloyd Scolari, 88, of Coquille. Burial was at Myrtle Crest Memorial Gardens.

Leonard was born on July 12, 1933 in Coquille to Joseph and Mary (Togni) Scolari. He died suddenly on March 18, 2022 in Coquille.

He spent his entire life in Coquille, graduating in the class of 1952. He married his high school sweetheart, Colleen Brinkley on July 24, 1954 and raised their family on the family dairy farm.

Leonard was a member of Holy Name Catholic Church and the Oregon Holsteins Association in which he served as President for many years.

He is survived by his children, Dave and his wife, Kaarina Scolari, Bob Scolari and Carol Martin; as well as nine

area,” Slater said. “For me, this is project two or three.

For me, I think project No. 1 should be relocating the visitors center downtown and rebuilding that area.”

Milliron said the city is working to fix up the existing visitor’s center, adding there is enough money in the lodging tax fund to buy the ice skating rink and purchase land for a new visitor’s center downtown, if land becomes available.

Councilor Bill Richardson also voiced support, saying the $75,000 is money well spend.

“The rink itself is one thing, but there’s going to

be all the skates and all the equipment to run it,” he said. “I think this will dovetail with the Shore Acres lights. If people are coming here to see the lights, this will give them another opportunity to do something their families. It is downtown, and I think it will promote some people walking around downtown. I think it’s a good package. It’s something unique.”

Ultimately the council voted 4-2 with Slater and Councilor Pat Goll opposed to purchase the ice skating rink and equipment for no more than $75,000.

They are restricted funds, and they are there.”

revamping the needed work was the right move for the city.

“The dollars just don’t make sense. We’re not using the tax dollar money,” he said. “We’ve come up with federal dollars, state dollars, grants.”

While rejecting the bid, the council insisted it was determined to open the pool and to have it run for decades to come.

“Staff is working diligently on it,” Councilor Timm Slater said. “We do recognize the partnership we set up with the levy to run the operations. Our side was to come up with the capital money, which is a daunting task. We are all committed to getting the pool open and having it open for a long time.”

Councilor Susanna Noordhoff also applauded the city staff for the work it is doing to repair and run the pool.

“I am so grateful, Ralph, with decades worth of experience, is putting together bid documents and handling contacts. I’m so grateful to staff. It’s a real chaotic process, and I am so grateful to staff.”

Letters to the Editor Powers Library Foundation Board We would like to give thanks to all of our community members that have donated so much to help our group provide financing in an attempt to expand the Hazel M Lewis Library. It has been seven long years of trying to put a workable plan together for the Powers citizens. There are new plans for a community center which includes an enlarged space for the library.

Many changes have happened with the Foundation Board and we are adding new members and retirement is in the plan for past members. We are hoping that you will be supporting the new plans as they are presented. The monies that you have helped the board earn as of this time will stay in tact for construction and will be a great start to a new facility.

We give our appreciation to you for all of your support.

Retiring board members Marge Kalb, Holly Looney, and Vickie Caughell Powers Do better, please As a working artist living in North Bend and an active member of the Bay Area Artists Association, I would like to express my disappointment that The World offers so little coverage of events in our community. In the past, your newspaper produced a lively section, “The Beat”, which

did an excellent job of letting us know what events were going on in our area. I would buy the Thursday edition especially for “The Beat”.

I understand there is diminished readership in print that puts financial constraints on what can be produced, and as a subscriber, I am making a point to support my small, local paper.

That said, the richness in our communities depends so much on participation in the many and various activities happening around us. How are we to know what is going on? Your “Community Calendar of Events” is so bare bones that it doesn’t inspire much enthusiasm to check things out.

We are all eager to engage more freely with each other after these last two years, explore new activities and resume old ones we had to abandon. Summer is coming. Tourists will be here.

Relatives will visit. Let us tell everyone about what we have to offer in the visual arts, music, drama, lectures, outdoor activities, and clubs as well as our beautiful Coast.

I hope you will consider something like a pull-out color page or two, perhaps every two weeks, with more detailed descriptions of events and lots of photos. Or, even better, bring back “The Beat”.

When The Press Tries to Hide or Discredit the Facts, It Discredits Itself by

Thomas L. Knapp

When the New York Post broke its “Hunter Biden laptop” stories in October 2020, mainstream media tried to ignore them. On the social media side, Twitter banned linking to them and Facebook used its algorithm to minimize discussion of them pending “fact checks” that apparently never happened.

The Streisand Effect - a tendency toward keen public interest in anything that looks like a cover-up - came to the rescue.

If you were the least bit interested in presidential politics, you knew as much as you wanted to about the matter (and then some) in short order.

The fall-back plan, as is so often the case these days, was to trot out “former intelligence officials” in an attempt to discredit the laptop’s provenance and contents as a “Russian disinformation” operation.

Seventeen months later, even the New York Times admits the laptop (and the incriminating emails) are very real. Without, of course, admitting any prior error or bias. What was the problem back then? Or, alternatively, what’s the problem now?

The “problem” back then wasn’t that the stories weren’t true. They clearly were. But they were also potentially damaging to Joe Biden, and helpful to Donald Trump, in the November 2020 presidential election. That’s why the Post ran the stories and Fox covered them; that’s why other outlets ignored or tried to discredit them. If you think American

mainstream media are non-partisan, think again.

The “problem” now? In December, federal investigators served subpoenas to Hunter Biden and several associates pursuant to a tax probe. Grand jury testimony followed, with indictments possibly to come.

Publications which wouldn’t touch the story then are racing to get ahead of it now.

I didn’t consider the matter any more a “scandal” than Trump’s hush money to Stormy Daniels. Everyone already knew Trump was a philanderer, and that Biden abused his influence to financially benefit and protect his son. Voters had already made up their minds on the importance of such things before the story broke.

But if Hunter Biden is indicted, Joe Biden probably won’t seek a second presidential term. And any likely successor will bring similar closets full of skeletons, which our media protectors will reveal, or try to conceal or discredit, based on their partisan leanings..

“Just the facts, ma’am” journalism has always been myth, not reality. But our media should willingly give us those facts, even with partisan spin, instead of trying to hide or discredit them.

From the COVID Trenches, a Plea to Follow the Facts and Vaccinate Your Children

By Chandy C. John, Mark R. Schleiss and Sallie Permar InsideSources.com

As experts in pediatric infectious diseases, vaccination and epidemiology, we are on the front lines when it comes to COVID-19 and children.

Collectively, we have cared for hundreds of children with severe cases of COVID-19, experiencing firsthand the complexity of caring for a child battling this novel illness and the agony of seeing a child succumb to its ravages.

We cannot stay silent as we witness the barrage of misinformation deterring parents from vaccinating children 5 years old and older against COVID-19. Americans need facts, not agendas.

First, the sheer number of very sick children should be every parent’s wake-up call.

The vaccination data are alarming. As of March 9, only 27 percent of U.S. children between the ages of 5 and 11 and 56 percent between 12 to 15 are fully vaccinated, leaving tens of millions of children still unvaccinated. And while most of those children who will get COVID-19 will have mild to moderate illness, the small percentage of this huge pool of unvaccinated children that will become severely ill translates into large numbers of children needing specialized care.

COVID-19 has already resulted in the tragic deaths of more than 1,000 children in the nation and put a major strain on the healthcare system with children spending more than 550,000 days in hospitals. More children have died of COVID19during the two years of the pandemic than died from influenza between 2010 and 2016. The many hospitalized children have overwhelmed hospitals, doctors and healthcare staff. And it’s not just admitted children that need care; our clinics have received hundreds of calls from parents concerned about the effects of long COVID on their children.

Second, America has an unequivocally safe vaccine available for children.

The Food and Drug Administration has approved the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for children 5 years and older — and the agency has done so because of its superb safety record. In children 5-11 years old, there are no reports of major adverse events above what is typically found in the general population. In children 12-15 years old, the rare early reports of myocarditis in males occurred with shorter spacing of doses (three weeks). With the longer spacing now recommended (eight weeks), rates should be no higher than in the baseline population, as occurred when longer spacing was used in adult males age 18-24 years.

Third, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is highly effective in children.

Trials of the vaccine have shown 100 percent effectiveness in preventing infection in children 12-15 years old and 91 percent effectiveness in children 5-11 years old.

Although a recent as-yet unpublished study showed a decrease in vaccine effectiveness in children against Omicron infection, this and another study still showed protection against hospitalization (73 percent to 90 percent in older children and 48 percent to 74 percent in younger children). More precise estimates will come with further research, but these two studies strongly support the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against severe illness, the most important measure of protection. A third dose in children is likely to improve protection even more.

Finally, vaccinating now is planning for the future.

COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon.

Although the Omicron wave has faded and cases are decreasing across the country, other variants will emerge. One example is the new BA.2 variant (the so-called “stealth Omicron”), already taking hold in many parts of the world. The good news is that the current lull in the United States provides an invaluable opportunity to prepare for future variants by vaccinating as many children and adults as possible.

These are the facts, and they must reach every community. Black, Hispanic and Native American children have been at much greater risk of death from COVID-19 compared to White children throughout the pandemic, yet have lower vaccination rates. The lower vaccination rates signal a glaring inequity in vaccine education and distribution, and it is essential to engage with these communities in combating vaccine hesitancy and increasing vaccine access.

American parents rely on science when it comes to their children. Consider widespread adoption of safety measures such as car seats, seat belts and the usual array of childhood vaccines. In doing so, they have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and avoided millions of hospitalizations.

By every metric a parent should consider for the wellbeing of their child, the vaccine is safe and effective, with the benefits far outweighing any risk.

From where we stand in hospital wards and research labs, there is neither a reason to hesitate nor a moment to lose.

50 YEARS — 1972 SWOCC ‘takes plunge’ into fisheries program Kicking an experimental toe in commercial fishing waters last year with the nation’s first and only regularly taught net building and mending course, Southwestern Oregon Community College is readying for an all-out plunge into a commercial fisheries program.

That plunge, though admittedly limited, is planned for the coming fall semester with two successive 20-week courses in maintenance and repair of commercial fishing boats. Money to run the courses is

expected to come from a $15,000 grant sponsored by the state’s Manpower Training and Development program.

Jim Piercy, SWOCC dean of instruction and the fisheries program’s major supporter, says commitment to the program at SWOCC is based on a recently completed study of the state’s commercial fishing needs as well as the “fantastic” results of the net mending class.

“We didn’t measure the success of that net mending class by the nationwide publicity received

by SWOCC and Coos Bay,” the dean noted. “To us it proved that working commercial fishermen will return to a classroom to sharpen old skills and learn new ones.”

sion’s recommendations are irresponsible,” Coos County Sheriff Tony Zarbano said about the report. “I still feel there has not been enough scientific study or documentation on the long-range and chronic use of the substance for the commission to make this type of recommendation.”

Coquille Police Chief Corky Daniels sounded a similar view: “I can’t go along with the commission’s recommendation that the laws for simple possession and use should be removed, though I would agree with the commission that the laws in some states for use of the drug are too harsh. Neither the commission nor the medical experts,” he added, “know enough about the drug at this time.”

Beaters’ rip past Henley 72-48 Coquille looked like world beaters Friday afternoon as the Red Devils ran the Henley Hornets out of McArthur Court, 72-48, to clinch fifth place in the AA cagefest. A lightning fast break paved the way again for the Red Devils as they out-pointed Henley in each quarter.

Six-foot-6 Curt Roberts got the break going all game for Coquille. Roberts hauled 17 stray balls of the boards and shot most of them to speedy guard John Mahlberg just as the 5-foot-11 senior was putting the half-court line behind him.

Mahlberg chucked most of the passes into the net, tallying 17, and Roberts repeatedly put anything that came off the offensive backboard Policemen in SWO Forest leads Bandon against removal of as Tigers take 3rd for back up on his way to a 29-point performance. marijuana restrictions second year in a row Reedsport blows Policemen in SouthEUGENE — Bandon 9-point lead, loses at western Oregon today coach Butch Neff said he buzzer were generally opposed told big center Bayard The Reedsport Braves to removal of federal and Forrest, “to relax and go looked like a team that state restriction against out there and play sumwanted to lose in the personal possession and mer recreation-league worst way during the private use of marijuana. basketball.” But if fourth quarter of their Some, however, said Forrest was only playFriday game in the AA they believed penalties in ing summer-style ball, tournament — and lose certain states for use of it didn’t look it, as he they did, 65-64 to Tillathe drug were too severe. canned 34 points, cleared mook.

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren GOOD DEED FOR DAUGHTER TURNS INTO A DISASTER DEAR ABBY: I have a daughter who married a less-than-capable provider because she was pregnant.

She’s sloppy, hasn’t seen a dentist in five years, barely keeps her room clean and is very overweight. She lives with us now because she decided, finally, to go back to school.

We let her live in an apartment we own, and it became so full of roaches -- because they didn’t clean their dishes or floors -- that we left it “as-is.” We are afraid to buy anything for them to live in again, because they have no regard for their things, their child’s things or any place they live. What should we do when she finally gets a job, if that happens?

Do we move her someplace and let her mess it up? Must we take care of everything? -- RAISING A CHILDADULT DEAR RAISING: It’s a hopeful sign that your daughter has finally decided to return to school. However, from your description, she may be severely depressed and need to be seen by a doctor. That she would raise a baby in a filthy roach-infested dwelling has me concerned about her ability to function as a parent.

Be a little more patient with your daughter and encourage her to follow through with her schooling. If the apartment still belongs to you, have it professionally cleaned and permit her to stay in it AS LONG AS IT IS KEPT CLEAN ENOUGH THAT THE BABY CAN SAFELY LIVE THERE. Once she graduates and finds employment, give her enough money for a down payment or a deposit on an apartment. Look after your grandchild while she’s working if her husband is incapable of doing it, which likely will

be the case. Most important, make sure your grandchild is properly cared for.

DEAR ABBY: When I was in high school, I stopped going by my short nickname and began going by my more formal given name. Everyone has been respectful, except my significant other. When he met me 20 years ago, the change had already occurred. Yet he continues to call me by the nickname. He does it whenever he talks about me to others, and it often leads to my being in a social situation and having to correct people.

When I have tried to impress upon him how important this is to me, he says I am being “trivial.” Abby, it is my NAME, and I think I have the right to be called what I want. I consider his refusal to understand how I feel a sign of disrespect. Am I wrong? -- CALL ME BY MY NAME DEAR CALL: No, you are not wrong. Your significant other should have made more of an effort to call you by your preferred name 20 years ago. Had he done that, by now it would have become habit. Correct him every time he uses the wrong name, whether it’s in private or in public.

For many people, this would not be a deal-breaker. However, because it is for you, it may be time to consider replacing him with someone who wants to help you be the person you want to be, rather than put a stumbling block in your way.

20 YEARS — 2002 Bandon Dunes to host speed golf Tournament: First event on South Coast will be held Easter Sunday The concept of running long distance is foreign to some people, who can’t fathom the value of putting the body through pain.

The sport of golf is equally strange to those who think the idea of hitting a little white ball, only to go walking after it, is silly.

What about combining the two?

Welcome to speed golf, which will make its debut on the South Coast on Easter Sunday, when the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort hosts a tournament.

“It’s obviously a niche sport,” said Tim Scott, who is putting on the tournament at Bandon Dunes. “But there’s 12 million avid golfers in the United States. If one out of a thousand play, that’s 12,000 people.”

Scott said the sport is slowly growing in popularity.

Bandon Dunes has been receptive to the idea of the tournament in part because owner Mike Keiser is a fan of the sport.

“Mr. Keiser is not only an advocate of speed golf, but he himself is an avid runner,” said Matt Allen, director of golf operations for the resort.

The best speed golfers can finish a round in under 50 minutes and shoot close to par, Scott said. “(Scoring) is not dramatically higher than normal, but it’s a lot more fun than normal,” Scott said. “And you don’t have to spend five hours out there.”

Gas price hike largest in 50 years CAMARILLO, Calif.

(AP) — Increased demand for gasoline and lower supplies sent prices at the pump surging a record 14 cents over the past two weeks, analysts said.

Friday’s weighted price per gallon for all grades and taxes was nearly $1.38, up 14.36 cents per gallon from March 8, according to the Lundberg Survey of 8,000 gas stations nationwide.

It was the largest twoweek cents-per-gallon increase since the survey began a half-century ago, analyst Trilby Lundberg said Sunday. The next-largest was 12.69 cents in April 2001.

Prices remain well below the $1.56 per gallon motorists we repaying Sept. 9, and are about 9 cents lower than a year ago, Lundberg said.

The national weighted average price of gasoline, including taxes, at selfserve pumps Friday was about $1.35 per gallon for regular, $1.44 for mid-grade and $1.53 for premium.

North Bend wins four Eighth-grader steals show games at UVC tourney at Florence Street Vault The World North Bend’s baseball team won four games over three days at the Umpqua Valley Christian Spring Break Tournament in Roseburg last week.

The Bulldogs beat Clatskanie 10-0, Pilot Rock 12-0, Horizon Christian 5-2 and Umpqua Valley Christian 5-4, powered by strong pitching throughout the event.

North Bend pitchers walked seven batters over 23 innings during the tournament.

“In the end, we had lots of good at-bats on a great turf field with good weather,” coach Brad Horning said, adding that the last win was particularly good. “I suspect UVC will be a team that goes deep into the playoffs.”

Against Clatskanie, the Bulldogs scored six runs in the first inning when Jalen Riddle walked, Knoll Gederos singled, Hunter Wheeling was hit by a pitch, Luke Wheeling singled and Joshjo Stevens and Aidan Nelson hit a triple and double, respectively. Carter Brock added an RBI groundout. Bryant Wicks pitched four strong innings, with three strikeouts and a walk, and Jack Burgmeier pitched the fifth.

Gederos pitched a five-inning complete game against Pilot Rock, throwing 67 pitches and striking out six while walking two. Gederos also went 3-for4 at the plate, including a double, and Luke Wheeling went 2-for-3 with a double. Hunter Wheeling and Jake Newsum joined Gederos and Luke Wheeling with hits in a six-run first inning to give the Bulldogs a big lead early.

Against Horizon Christian, Riddle scored twice after reaching base with a base hit and hit-by-pitch. Wicks had a two-run double in the first inning and Brock had a sacrifice bunt and drove in a run. Hunter Wheeling went the distance on the mound and finished with 11 strikeouts over six innings, including striking out the final six batters. He gave up four walks.

In the finale against the Monarchs, Luke Wheeling pitched a complete game, allowing five hits and striking out three batters and walking none over seven innings. He also had two hits and two runs. Newsum went 3-for-3 and Burgmeier had a two-run triple.

North Bend, which lost its first two Midwestern League games each by one run against Crater, visits Ashland for another league doubleheader Saturday.

PIRATES DROP TWO: Marshfield lost both its games at the Newport Spring Break Tournament, falling to Gladstone 10-6 and Taft 8-3.

In the loss to Gladstone, Drake Rogers had a home run and single and drove in three runs and DJ Daugherty had two singles and scored twice, Cobin Bouska hit a double and Ryder Easton had a single, run and RBI. Against Taft, Easton had a pair of singles and drove in a run. Rogers had a triple and scored and Wyatt Peck had a pair of RBIs. The Pirates, now 2-2, host Brookings-Harbor on April 5 as they continue tuning up for the Sky-Em season.

BRAVE WIN TWO: Reedsport swept host North Douglas 12-0 and 14-4 in a pair of games Saturday.

The Brave evened their season record at 2-2 with the wins.

Reedsport opens Sunset Conference play April 5 at Bandon.

TIGERS TAKE TWO: Bandon won two of its three games at the Umpqua Valley Christian Spring Break Tournament.

The Tigers fell to Kennedy 4-0 in their opener, but bounced back with wins over Lost River (11-7) and Clatskanie (13-7).

Bandon opens league play at Waldport on Tuesday and hosts Brookings-Harbor on Wednesday.

COQUILLE WINS AGAIN: Coquille bounced back from its first loss of the season with a 12-7 win over Riddle on Saturday.

The Red Devils lost 9-2 to Siuslaw on Friday, their first setback, and were 4-1 heading into a Monday game at Illinois Valley (results weren’t available by press time). The Red Devils host Toledo in their league opener Thursday and are at Oakland for a nonleague game Friday.

SOFTBALL BANDON TOPS TILLAMOOK: Bandon beat host Tillamook 9-5 on Saturday but fell to Neah-Kah-Nie 16-2 in another game at the same site.

The results were flipped from a day earlier, when the Tigers pounded NeahKah-Nie 15-0 and lost to Tillamook 11-8.

Bandon is 3-3 heading into its league opener at Waldport on Tuesday.

RED DEVILS WIN TWO: Coquille beat Siuslaw on Friday 16-6 and topped Riddle 18-6 on Saturday, improving to 5-1-1 on the season.

The Red Devils had a nonleague game at Illinois Valley on Monday and visit Brookings-Harbor on Wednesday before opening league play Thursday at home against Toledo.

REEDSPORT DROPS PAIR: North Douglas topped visiting Reedsport 14-2 and 16-2 on Saturday, dropping the Brave to 0-4 on the season heading into the team’s league opener April 5 at Bandon.

BOBCATS SWEEP COUGARS: Myrtle Point beat host Illinois Valley 18-3 and 15-5 on Saturday to improve to 3-1 on the season.

Myrtle Point opens league play April 5 at Siletz Valley.

PIRATES TAKE TWO: Marshfield had two wins in three games at the Newport Spring Break tournament.

The Pirates topped Toledo 6-3 and Newport 9-8, those wins sandwiched around a 21-1 loss to Astoria.

The Pirates, 3-2, were at Brookings-Harbor on Monday and visit Hidden Valley on Tuesday in two more nonleague games.

BULLDOGS GET FIRST WIN: North Bend topped North Salem 8-4 at the North Medford Spring Break Tournament for their first win of the new season.

The Bulldogs also fell to Central (6-2), Eagle Point (25-2) and Mazama (10-0) in the tournament.

The event was a positive for the team, coach John Olson said.

“We played missing many varsity players and I was completely surprised with the young kids who filled in,” he said.

Siuslaw track coach Chris Johnson was looking to showcase high school pole vaulters when he organized the inaugural Florence Street Vault on Wednesday at Bay Street in downtown Florence.

As it turned out, an eighth-grader stole the show.

Addison Kleinke, an online school student from Eugene, thrilled the crowd by clearing 13 feet, 6 inches. The mark would be good enough to improve on her national 1314 age-group record, but the event was not sanctioned.

“She was a star,” Johnson said of Kleinke. “We thought we had a good event, but she made it 50 times better. She made the event, no question about it. It’s so refreshing to see somebody that good, and she was humble.”

Last summer, Kleinke won a gold medal for the 13-14 age group by clearing 12-0 in the USATF National Junior Olympic Championships in Florida. She set the national record for her age group in December by vaulting 13-0 at a meet in Texas and improved to 13-1 last month.

LOVE OUR PETS Breed:

Breed:

American Bulldog Mix

Domestic Shorthair

Age/Gender: Adult, Male

Comet

Age/Gender: 8 Years, Unknown

Comet was found alone on a hiking trail. He is people friendly, pretty good on a leash, likes treats, and knows how to “sit.” He likes to chase toys, but doesn’t bring them back! Comet has been pretty well-mannered, and sometimes thinks he’s a lap dog! Come meet Comet if you’re looking for a big handsome dog, and don’t mind a little bit of drool!

Hauser

Hauser isn’t so friendly after being live trapped in the Hauser area.

We will give this kitty time to adjust before we mess with it. We are not sure if it’s a boy or girl, but it is out of the elements and inside where it is warm and safe. Hauser’s shots are up to date, they are fixed, and does seem good with other cats.

What to Know About Cat Reproduction Pet owners must take many things into consideration in their quest to keep animals healthy and happy. One of those considerations involves animal reproductive health.

Veterinarians as well as animal welfare organizations urge pet owners to spay or neuter their pets, not only to provide various health benefits, but to help reduce overpopulation in pet communities.

Cat pet parents must be especially diligent in their quest to squelch reproduction to help control cat populations. According to The Spruce: Pets, female cats that are not spayed will come into estrus (heat) as early as age four months. The animal health resource BondVet says a cat can go into heat as often

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.

as every two to three weeks. Generally, though, cats are seasonal breeders, indicates the United Kingdom-based RSPCA, which means heat cycles slow down in autumn. Another thing to note is that cats do not enter menopause like people and other animals. That means a female cat can continue to reproduce well into her senior years.

Cats can become pregnant even during the first estrus cycle. A feline’s pregnancy lasts around 63 to 65 days, or about nine weeks. A cat also can be impregnated again very quickly after giving birth. Even while she is nursing her kittens, subsequent pregnancies are not prevented. The average litter size mfor cats is about three to six kittens, so it is very easy to see just how many of them can be born from one mother if she’s left to her own reproductive devices. Females also can be mated by

more than one male or even one of their male relatives.

While there is still some debate among veterinarians as to the best age at which to spay or neuter cats, the general consensus seems to be the earlier the better, particularly if cats have access to other cats that are not fixed. This can occur as early as age six to eight weeks, while standard spays and neuters occur at five to six months of age. Vets who advocate for spaying before the first heat say it nearly eliminates the risk of mammary cancer, and spayed cats will not develop ovarian and uterine cancers, according to PetMD. Physiologically and behaviorally, cats are built to reproduce as frequently as possible.

Pet owners must put a stop to that to protect against overpopulation and to reduce unwanted behaviors like inappropriate marking, aggression and other issues.
