Coos Bay considering ride-sharing ordinance

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft could soon be allowed in Coos Bay. During a city council work session last week, the council discussed updating its taxi ordinance to allow ride-share companies to operate in the city. The council will vote on the issue

during its April 5 meeting.

Police Chief Chris Chapanar explained to the council that times are changing and the city needs to do so as well.

"In an effort to keep up with modern times, the consideration of a new ordinance is being proposed," Chapanar said. "This ordinance takes into consideration taxi cab businesses as well

as some of the newer businesses such as Uber and defines them under the title 'vehicle for hire.'"

Chapanar said the ordinance requires ride-share drivers to follow many of the same requirements as the taxi companies that operate in the city.

"It places requirements on both the owner of the company as well as requirements for the

drivers of said vehicles," the police chief said. "There are insurance requirements to protect the owner, drivers, as well as the general public. The ordinance requires a background check be done on all drivers to ensure the safety of the public at large.

It requires a business license to operate within the city of Coos Bay and it regulates the number

of vehicles that can stored in a residential neighborhood.

The city has received several inquiries from people interested in driving for a ride-share company in the city, but without it permitted in city codes, the city always refused to provide a business license. If the ordinance is approved April 5, that would Please see RIDE SHARE Page A3

Bob Tiernan addresses a crowd in Coos Bay while visiting the Southern Coast. The former legislator and Republican Party chairman is confident he has the business and political experience to win in a crowded field running for governor of Oregon.

Tiernan confident he can win in crowded governor's race

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Bob Tiernan is convinced Oregon is ready for a change in the governor's mansion. As a Republican candidate, he thinks voters are ready to elect a Republican, but not just any Republican.

"This is the year somebody who can get something done will win," Tiernan said after visiting Brookings and Coos Bay during a stop along the South Coast. "I do think a Republican can win. I don't think it's going to be so much of the label that's on you. I think if you can show I have the experience and the

skills to get things done, that's what will matter."

And Tiernan believes her has the experience, the skills and the history of success that will give him an edge.

Tiernan does have a ton of experience, both in business and in politics. After growing up in Southern California and earning a masters degree in law from Georgetown, Tiernan began a law career but quickly realized he didn't love it. So he turned to business.

He was hired as the interim president of Grocery Outlet when the chain was struggling to survive, and in those 90 days,

he turned the company around.

He was offered and accepted a four-year contract as company president, during which the company built 30 new stores and set all-time sales records.

He later held the same job with a different grocery chain, before returning to law. During all of that, Tiernan served 28 years in the Navy as a special intelligence officer, retiring as a commander.

In the '90s, he ventured into politics, serving in the Legislature from 1992 to 1997. He also served as chair of the state Please see TIERNAN, Page A3

Karrie Devine hired as school nurse for Bandon School District The World With more than 24 years of nursing experience, Karrie Devine, RN, has been hired as the new school nurse for the Bandon School District.

Through a cooperative effort between the Bandon School District, Southern Coos Health Foundation and Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center, with funding from the Michael and Lindy Keiser Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, the Three Rivers Foundation and the generous gifts of individuals and businesses, the school nurse position in the Bandon School District has been funded for the remainder of the year.

Devine will be on the campus every school day. She will provide frontline care for students and will work with school staff on educational materials to promote health and wellness among students and staff.

During the summer, Devine will work in the Med/Surg Department at Southern Coos Hospital, then return to the school nurse position in the fall.

“This marks a giant step forward for healthcare for children of Bandon during these medically challenging times,” said Roger

Straus, Southern Coos Health Foundation board member who, when he learned there was no nurse in the school district, spearheaded the fundraising campaign.

“This is an ongoing program that will continue for years to come,” Straus said. “Thanks to all who have made this program come to fruition.”

Of Devine’s 24 years in nursing, 16 of those have been in pediatrics, providing high-quality care of pediatric patients with chronic and acute conditions.

Most recently, Devine worked with adults in an oncology/hematology clinic setting.

Devine and her husband Matt and their twins, Kate and Conner, now juniors at Bandon High School, moved to Bandon seven years ago from Madera Ranchos, Calif., near Fresno. There she worked at the Children’s Hospital of California in Madera, highly ranked in the nation.

“I wanted to be a nurse so I could work there,” Devine said.

“It’s an amazing place.”

The couple’s parents moved to the South Coast area of Oregon first, settling in Brookings.

Contributed photo

Kaitlyn Strickler finished fifth in the Oregon Oratorical Contest sponsored by the American Legion an earned $1,900 in scholarship money.

Kaitlyn Strickler of Marshfield High School Home Schooling Program recently competed in The American Legion Department of Oregon Oratorical Contest in Lebanon. The competition took place at The American Legion Santiam Post 51 on March 12.

Strickler gave an incredible speech that was between eight to 10 minutes on the United States Constitution. This speech was memorized and no notes were used. She also had to give a three to five minute speech on one of the

amendments to the Constitution that was chosen at random.

Strickler came in fifth place with a scholarship award of $1,500. In her previous contests, at the post level she received $150, and at the district level she received $250. She won a total of $1,900 in scholarships. This total amount will be sent on to her college of choice to help cover school expenses.

Strickler has expressed interest in continuing competing in the oratorical contests for the next three years.

Hauser Fire receives grant for new rescue van The Hauser Rural Fire Protection District has won a grant to fund a new rescue van for their Dunes Rescue program.

Hauser Fire serves as the primary EMS first responders for dune rescue operations for a 25-square mile region of the ODNRA from the region surrounding Horsfall Beach to just south of Ten-Mile Creek

near the Spinreel Campgrounds, responding to approximately 70 dune rescue calls in 2021, many of which involve significant injuries to multiple riders.

The $120,000 grant obtained through the Oregon State Parks ATV Grant program will purchase and adapt a new emergency rescue van for dune access and transport, allowing for

The new van will allow Hauser Fire to retire one of it’s two current rescue vans which was originally acquired in 1999 and has become less reliable due to years of wear and tear on the dunes. This grant came together through the volunteer efforts of HRFD Chief Jerry Wharton, local dune rescue supporters Krystal Hopper and Dr. Aaron Coyner, and Hauser Fire Volunteer Coleman Jody Phillips. It was a true team effort between facilitating the grant request, acquiring the necessary bids, and addressing the many challenges of a dune rescue program in our area.

The initial grant request was submitted in December 2021.

In February Phillips and Wharton presented details to the ATV Grant Program Committee in Salem and emerged one of the highest ranked proposals.

wowed by the beauty of the area. They learned the Bandon/Langlois KOA campground was for sale and decided to purchase the business.

They owned the campground for four years, with Devine also working at the Bay Area Cancer Center in Coos Bay for two of those. They still love exploring the area.

“It’s just gorgeous. We like to see what’s new.

There’s always something to discover,” Devine said.

“I’m really happy to be working with children again,” Devine said. “I’m very excited to come on board and help promote

Republican party.

"I was effective," Tiernan said, pointing to a number of public-safety laws he spearheaded.

"I helped make Oregon a safer place. It was my passion."

Through all of it, Tiernan said he earned a reputation as a problem solver. In politics, he said having someone who can solve problems is key.

"I've been very successful in business. What I do in business is I solve problems," Tiernan said.

"In the Navy, I was on 17 assignments in every corner of the Earth. In the military, you take these special assignments and you don't scratch your head and say I can't solve this problem. You solve problems. We have

One element that got some council discussion was a requirement that no more than one ride-share vehicle be parked at a single residence in the city.

Councilor Rob Matthews questioned the requirement, saying it is not uncommon for multiple people in one household to drive for companies like Uber and Lyft.

"I understand the taxi version of that, but these people are using their own vehicles," Matthews said.

Chapanar said the council could certainly change the wording before

health and wellness for the Bandon School District.”

“I feel good and confident and very welcomed,” she added. “Everyone has expressed how excited they are to have a nurse in the schools again.”

Devine will be based at Ocean Crest Elementary School but will spend time at Harbor Lights Middle School. The program will eventually expand to Bandon High School.

“Bandon School District is thrilled to welcome Karrie Devine to the Tiger team as our school nurse in partnership with the Southern Coos Health Foundation,” said HLMS Principal Becky Armistead, who is also a foundation board member.

“What started as a dream became a vision thanks to Roger Straus and the SCHF

Board and is now, once again, a reality,” Armistead said. “After a brief hiatus, we are anxious to get back to having a nurse on site, as we had grown quite accustomed to having someone to turn to with our medical questions.

It is exciting to know that we will now have a medical professional available throughout the entire school day (as opposed to the two hours per day we had before) to help our office teams as they work diligently to keep students at school while keeping our learning community safe – an even more important task as we continue to provide in-person education throughout a pandemic."

“Thank you, SCHF Board and Karrie Devine, for helping us take care of our Tigers, big and small,” said Armistead.

an opportunity this year to put someone in office that can solve problems.

Our No. 1 problem is we don't have any leadership. We have a lot of self proclaimed leaders and that's not what makes you a leader."

Years after he fought for criminal justice reform in the Legislature, Tiernan said he remains passionate about the issue. He said people in Oregon no longer feel safe, and it is past time for the state to do something about it.

"Our criminal justice system has basically fallen apart," he said. "We've let out 1,400 people from correctional facilities, felons. Portland has basically turned into a craphole with the lawlessness. In this one neighborhood, they've had 167 shootings in the last year. It's spreading out. It's spreading everywhere, and nobody is doing anything

about it. It didn't happen yesterday, it didn't happen last month or last year.

We have these problems that aren't being solved. I think we have the wrong people in office."

While the field in both parties crowded in the governor's race, Tiernan said he is the only person with the experience in politics, business and service to do the job right.

"I think I'm different than the others," he said.

"You have to have the experience to know what it takes to take a big problem and march it to a solution in short order.

That's how you solve problems. The problems we have now, the lawlessness, the crime, not enough cops, letting people out of prison, all of that is solvable. I've done it before."

Another big issue Tiernan is eager to solve is one that impacts every corner of the state - homelessness.

"The homelessness it totally solvable," Tiernan said. "Yet no one is stepping p to the plate, making the tough decisions."

While Tiernan acknowledges Oregon is a difficult place for Republicans to win, he said the right member of the GOP

it approves the ordinance.

The chief said the ordinance is nearly identical to one being considered in North Bend.

"We worked jointly with North Bend," Chapanar said. "I think we came out with a pretty good ordinance. North Bend tweaked it a little bit for their city needs and we tweaked it a little bit. Really it is a pretty similar ordinance."

Councilor Sara Stephens said she was happy to be considering bringing ride-sharing the community.

"I can't tell you how many times we get a request at the Mill for a Lyft or an Uber," Stephen said. "I'm thrilled we're going down this route for our visitors."

Karrie Devine can prevail. But that person must be a leader and a problem solver.

"I think the Portland Democrats will elect anyone who can solve their problems," Tiernan said. "Anybody who can execute and get the job done is going to be really appealing. I don't think they're going to look at the label, they're going to look at the person. I think D's have just had it."

Tiernan acknowledged the road will be tough, especially in the crowded primary field. But he said he is happy to take on the challenge.

"As chairman of the party, I'm a big believer if you want to run, run," he said. "We have a lot of people running. There's four, maybe five top people who have the money and have a campaign.

Right now, there's a huge undecided vote. It's probably anybody's election.

I think in the next five, six weeks one or two will break out."

Tiernan admitted he wasn't eager to get back into politics, but with the state in crisis, he chose to step up.

"If there was someone who was a very talented person running for the

Republicans, I wouldn't have run," he said. " We do have an opportunity to have a changing of the guard. I think Oregon is slipping into the abyss, and their needs to be a course correction."

As the May election approaches, Tiernan said he is ready to work to get his message out to voters.

"People are different in different parts of Oregon," Tiernan said. "They have different needs and different wants. I want to get Oregon back to where everybody is looking out for everybody.

A problem in Brookings should be a problem in Coos Bay. A problem in Coos Bay should be a problem in Salem."

Guest Opinion

Opinion: When gasoline prices rise, politicians get predictable

By Peter Z. Grossman InsideSources.com

What is it about oil price spikes that befuddle politicians?

This is especially true of Democrats, but Republicans, too, have had moments of confusion about oil.

In fact, Republican president Richard Nixon was, when it came to energy, very confused. Most notably, he didn’t realize that his own policies were responsible for many of the bad things that happened during the 1973-74 energy “crisis.”

That he also learned nothing from the crisis is clear, but he was not alone.

As I explain in my 2013 book “U.S. Energy Policy and the Pursuit of Failure,” most politicians and bureaucrats learned nothing or, worse, the wrong lessons.

The underlying story they adopted was wrong: We weren’t running out of oil and gas; OPEC was not about to take over the world; and we didn’t need a “moonshot” for alternative energy (something just about every politician starting with Nixon has called for at one time or another).

The 1970s are remembered mostly for lines at service stations as people waited for a few gallons of gas. But it is also remembered for enormous price increases. Since we haven’t had gas lines since 1980, the claim of an energy crisis typically involves price spikes (or more drawn-out price surges) to oil and especially gasoline. Here’s what Democrats did when prices soared at the pump back in the 1970s: —Blamed the oil companies.

—Demanded investigations of the oil industry.

—Called for a “windfall profits” tax against energy producers.

—And appealed for laws against “price gouging.”

Sadly, much of what was proposed back then to deal with the crisis has continued to be advocated. The script in 1973-74 and 197980 was repeated again in 1990, 1996, and from about 2000 through 2008. Now it’s happening again.

The script has played poorly. The oil industry has been investigated, but to the chagrin of many politicians each investigation turned up nothing illegal.

In 1980, Congress passed a windfall profits tax and that experience

should suggest why another one would be foolhardy.

Such a tax is based on a government determination of what the price of oil should be. Any legislation that is based on a government determination of price for a commodity is a bad idea.

Those prices are never “correct”; actual market prices for any commodity will change by the minute.

Even if government gets it right today (which is unlikely) it may take months for the legislation to pass, undoubtedly causing the price determination to be wildly wrong. The result is likely a shortage one day, a glut the next.

Meantime, the windfall tax does nothing to help consumers. More likely it hurts them because the tax has to be figured as a cost of production. As such costs rise, sellers will produce less.

As for price gouging laws, there are two main problems: First, no one can actually define what constitutes price gouging.

Some legislators have tried, but the choices of gouging thresholds are always arbitrary.

Second, anti-gouging laws can have serious consequences. Most such laws deal with price hikes in an emergency. But the result of anti-gouging law is not stable prices, but rather it is shortages at the worst times. Those who need the products most will find empty shelves (or gas pumps) because the product is too cheap and the price doesn’t take account of an extreme increase in demand. The existence of such laws may also lead retailers to close during an emergency for fear they’ll be tagged as “gougers.”

Past failures notwithstanding, President Biden is calling for an investigation of the oil industry; members of Congress are demanding a new windfall profits tax; and several anti-gouging bills have been introduced in Congress.

Don’t expect anything positive to come from this.

But anticipate when oil prices come down (which they will) the same politicians will take credit for it.

Letters to the Editor Use again and waste not Ever since the pandemic began, takeout from restaurants has soared.

That means that waste and pollution from plastic takeout containers has soared, too. In an effort to do my part, I tried taking a reusable container to my favorite eatery when I picked up my takeout order, but I was told by the restaurant that it was against the law for them to use my container. I got the same response when I tried to use a reusable salad box at the grocery store’s salad bar.

Oregon has adopted U.S. Food and Drug Administration rules that ban customers from bringing their own containers to grocery stores and restaurants in an attempt to curb plastic waste. The rationale for this rule is to avoid “cross-contamination.” In adopting this rule, Oregon has failed to take into consideration the huge environmental impact that single-use plastics like take-out containers has.

In 2019, a workgroup began to examine this rule and consider alternatives, to allow consumers to do their part to reduce the pile-up of tons of plastic waste by bringing their own reusable containers. That effort was derailed by the pandemic, but it is now back up and running. Beginning this year, the workgroup is again considering recommendations to modify or eliminate this rule. I want to encourage anyone who has ever gotten take-out and is as horrified as I am by all of the garbage that it generates to write to your state legislators and urge them to support any efforts to reject this rule and allow reusable food containers. Taking this step won’t require restaurant patrons and grocery store customers to bring their own containers – but it will give them the option to do so. This, to me, seems like an easy way to make a potentially big difference in the amount of plastic waste that we use and throw away every single day.

Sincerely, Isabella Cohn Oregon City

I beg to differ In the March 25 'letters,' Mr. Robert Murray, owner of an expensive short-stay rental, spoke out about the tax on short-stay rentals in Charleston (ballot measure 6-194.)

He was worried that tourists would not visit our beautiful state parks, beaches and recreational opportunities because of a tax that is the same amount as there is already in Coos Bay, North Bend short-term rentals.

I beg to differ, Mr. Murray.

Charleston does not have a city to pay for safety considerations, a visitors center or promotional issues.

We need the funding for these things that the county tries to provide, but is many times lacking. This tax will benefit our area, and will only be

taxing tourists here, no one else.

You have a personal motive since you have a very profitable house on the beach in my neighborhood to rent while you live in Portland. The tourists will still come, and if the tax passes they will be safer while they visit.

Our hope is to bring attention to our town and the people that we are watching and we are doing our best to keep the area free of problems and Camp Hope only seeks what everyone else seeks ...A peaceful life.

Thanks for reading Keeping Hope Alive Elias Mavris Crescent City

Retired sheriff comes to the rescue

Please stop

Going back to December 23, 2021 just two days before Christmas.

Residents on Camp Hope were doing a normal stroll out to the road as a regular part of garbage pick up.

Camp hope is where a group of four had been chosen from various backgrounds with various talents .

This is a 12 acre property declared the largest undeveloped piece of property in the city of Crescent City (privately owned) .

For years, the property has been vacant and soon became a problem with the city with a huge influx of transients in makeshift dwellings and a very dangerous cave. Garbage piles, rapes, fights, fires and more would be the call of the day.

The chief had told us since our one year group on Camp Hope began they have not heard of any fires or rapes and the transients have been pushed away. The only fight that still exists is the will to survive.

On that morning, a camp host we call 'Mother,' his name is Paul, did his morning stroll toward the road.

Mother noticed something looking suspicious just 10 feet from the sidewalk. He yelled to Johnny BeGood (another resident at Camp Homp) to call 911.

Just after a police officer happened to drive by and they flagged him down. The officer took one look at this suspicious item and immediately called Officer McManus, now retired, who is their bomb tech.

Thank God our town has someone like him , for most he is just another law enforcement officer to Camp Hope...he is our hero.

McManus was heading out of town with his son when the call came in. This further shows the Hero he indeed is.

McManus noticed the item and understood right away it was a bomb he told us to stand back quoting "if you can see it - it can see you" meaning if you can see it and it explodes it can get you.

McManas said this would've sent shrapnel 15 meters roughly 50 feet in every direction. If you were near the blast the sound alone could have destroyed your hearing.

To make matters worse, a golf club end (9 iron) was sitting near it which we presumed was part of helping it fly further into the property at Camp Hope and if it was

This is in response to “I am concerned” We will find out what kind of Commissioner Rod Taylor is after his election to office.

Let’s address some of your concerns.

Rod Taylor was in D.C. to protest the results of a presidential election.

The 1st Amendment permits Americans to peacefully protest. While at the protest in D.C., Taylor witnessed a group of individuals who were pushing against barricades and scuffling with police. He was not part of that group. Your suggestion that Taylor participated in anything else can be slanderous. Here is a quick note on what the 1st Amendment text reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Taylor was not present at the commissioners meeting. Why align him with that, if you know it’s not accurate much less true. If it is true, can we see an attendance sheet with Taylor’s signature? Photos of Taylor with commissioners, arguing with commissioners?

Labels are so discourteous, why would you ever think you have the right to tag, pigeonhole or sort any one group of people, then assign the label of white supremacist? That would be like asking you for a green card based on your surname. You flung those labels on Taylor because you have photos of Taylor wearing a White Hood? No? Is it because of his skin color? Ms. Ramirez, racists do come in all colors.

The “Gun-flaunting-protester” was within his Constitutional Rights to open-carry a legal weapon within these borders of the Great State of Oregon and these United States. I do believe I can say Rod Taylor was not even there. Are you going next associate him with the missing Union Boss Jimmy Hoffa?

Ms. Ramirez you do not have to vote for Taylor but to slander Taylor before the election can be libelous, slanderous, and just wrong.

Please stop.

Thank you Coquille for the support Saturday, March 26th, the Coquille Chess Club held a fundraising carwash to help cover costs of participating at State Championships in Seaside (individuals) and Portland (elementary and middle school teams). Fortunately the weather cooperated and it was even warm!

The Coquille Chess players were not only kept busy till exhaustion but donations were extremely generous. We only got two short breaks to play a little chess between cars needing to be washed. Thank you Coquille for your support!

Evelyn Arlene (Daniels) Phillips, 85, of Myrtle Point, Oregon, passed away on Monday, March 21, 2022, at her home in Gaylord, Oregon.

She was the youngest of seven born to Rees and Edna (Strong) Daniels on November 29, 1936.

As a lifelong resident of Gaylord, she grew up on a working sheep ranch and as young girl she showed and won several grand champion ribbons for her Shropshire Sheep. She grew up working on the ranch, attended Gaylord School (Eltelka) and graduating from Myrtle Point Union High, class of 1955. She had too many stories from growing up to share. After graduating, she worked for Sherwood Forest Products starting on the green chain and worked her way up to clipper operator.

After starting her working career, she moved out of her parents’ home into her own place next to the Gaylord School which would later become her own small ranch that she shared with her family. On April 8, 1961 she married Delmas Ray Phillips in Reno, Nevada. They were married for 37 years before his passing. Together, with help from her father, they built their forever home and expanded their family with four daughters.

Donna was born in Coquille, Oregon and passed away peacefully at home in Arago, Oregon surrounded by family. She married Harold Robison in Coquille, Oregon on April 3, 1953. In the early years Donna worked as a telephone operator in Coquille; then as a secretary at the Arago school, and finally as a library assistant at Myrtle Crest Middle school, Myrtle Point from which she retired. All while raising two sons, Lawrence “Larry” Robison and Douglas “Doug” Robison She lived most of her life in the Coquille/Arago area and was the daughter of Art Richardson and Mildred Lynch, both who preceded her in death.

Also preceding her in death: husband, Harold Robison; two brothers, Arthur “Bud” Richardson and Wallace “Wally” Richardson; stepbrother, “Buck” McKay; and grandson, Brent Robison,

She enjoyed hosting and hanging out with family and friends, looking forward to class and family reunions. She loved animals, especially her cows and cats. She spent many hours preserving jelly, jam, applesauce, peaches, pears, beets and baking the best blackberry pie and oatmeal cookies.

Her love for flowers and gardening showed in her beautiful yard. She taught her children and grandchildren to be strong, independent, caring and how to work hard. She was creative, loved building things, playing cards, reading westerns, and putting puzzles together. Her family will miss her feistiness, strong independence, stories, and jokes.

She is survived by her daughters, Karen Dubisar of Myrtle Point and Jill and husband, Kenny Rolfe of Myrtle Point; grandchildren, Torie (Tylor) Gorst of Myrtle Point, Devin Barzee of Portland, and Candace (Jeremy) Hall of Roseburg; great grandchildren, Michaela Gorst, Tucker Gorst, Dylan Barzee, and Raylynn Hall; other family members include Steve Phillips, Fayette Sturgill, Sam Phillips, Leona Phillips, Shannon Dubisar, and Dorothy Daniels; best friend, Helen Hammack;

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

TEEN DISCOVERS MOM’S AFFAIR WHILE LOOKING AT HER PHONE

DEAR ABBY: I am 15 and have a big problem. My mom and my dad have been married a long time. I was looking through pictures on Mom’s phone and found some very inappropriate and romantic texts from “Rob,” her business partner. Mom forces our whole family to hang out with Rob, and my brother doesn’t like him either. But anytime we bring it up, my mom yells at us and makes me cry. She wants me to be friends with Rob. One time when we were all at a restaurant, someone asked if he was my dad. I know what she is doing with him, and I can’t focus on school because of it. I think my dad knows -- kind of -- but I’m sure he hasn’t seen the texts that I saw. I don’t want to ruin my family, but I cry about it every night alone. I know my parents won’t go to couples counseling, and I don’t want to hurt my brother either. Any help would be very much appreciated. -- KID WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH DEAR KID: Because this is causing emotional problems that are affecting your studies, it can’t be ignored. It is time for you to talk about this with a school counselor, a relative or a family friend for emotional support and guidance.

I also think at some point you should talk to your mother about what you found on her phone. Tell her that’s the reason you don’t want to be friends with her business partner. Your sense of right and wrong is valid, and don’t let her tell you otherwise. Do not be surprised if she’s upset about the fact that you know what has been going on, so be prepared for it. I am sorry you have to go through this. It’s a shame.

DEAR ABBY: A few years ago, my husband and I bought and moved into a very old, small house in our ideal neighborhood, which has beautifully manicured yards, nice people

and a lot of diversity. We had a vision for this place, and it was perfect for us.

A friend of mine, “Maggie,” who I knew had a judgmental streak, repeatedly asked to come see the house, which I knew was nowhere near in the condition for visitors. After about her 10th request, I told myself maybe I was overreacting to her potential reaction, and I invited her into my home for a tour. Three years later, my husband and I remodeled our home to fit our vision. We are happy.

Six months after the remodel was complete, my husband and I were at a friend’s house and Maggie was there. At one point, Maggie’s husband commented to us that he couldn’t believe we had moved into that “s--- shack.”

My husband’s jaw dropped. Maggie jumped up and said, “I didn’t call it that!” Of course it was logical that she did. She had seen it; he had not.

To this day, a year and a half later, I cannot get over why someone I invited into my home would say something so horrible about it behind my back or that her husband would repeat it among a group of mutual friends. My husband refuses to engage with Maggie and her husband. What should I do? -- PROUD OF MY HOME NOW DEAR PROUD: I am sorry you didn’t write sooner about this. If you had, I would have advised you to tell Maggie exactly how that incident made you and your husband feel.

It is a little late for that now, but you would certainly be within your rights to clear the air if you wish. What they said was uncalled for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Bandon Dunes donates to nonprofits while upgrading hotel In order to prepare the site at Bandon Beach Hotel, demolition and site prep began in late February. As part of the demolition process, Wild Rivers Coast Alliance – the grant making department of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort - reached out to local organizations that serve people in need to donate hotel items such as tables, chairs, vacuum cleaners, washers, dryers, mattresses, linens and towels. Salvation Army, Ruth’s Closet, Devereux Center and South Coast Hospice’s arrived on February 23 and at the end of the day, their trucks were full of supplies for use by their clients.

On March 21, several volunteers from Harmon Construction as well as Bandon Dunes staffers from facility maintenance and staff housing began a soft demolition process to salvage windows, doors, sinks, cabinets and other items that were donated to Habitat for Humanity in Coos Bay. Once demolition of the hotel is complete, the site will be prepared for safe grading and stabilization until construction starts. You can learn more about the Bandon Beach hotel at bandonbeachhotel.com.

When demolition began at the site of the Bandon Beach Hotel, Bandon Dunes donated the old materials to a variety of nonprofit organizations in the community.

This raffle is a “thank you” to the community for the wonderful support they’ve given the gallery and artists over the past 10 years and will be held each month throughout the year in celebration.

AS I SEE IT: Before the Bandon Fire

By Mary Schamehorn The first picture I am sharing appeared in the June 7, 1951, Western World, as part of the editor's efforts to revive history. The picture was titled: "Remember? -- Tupper Rock, Ocean House, 1897."

At the end of the caption, I will update some of the information because even the "new" version is 71 years old.

"What was Bandon like before the fire?

"This question has been asked so many times, especially by some of the many new people who are establishing residence here, that Western World has decided to publish an oldtime picture now and then and give such information as is available. "The above picture was taken in May 1897 according to inscription on the photograph.

The cameraman must have stood part way up Tupper Rock, pretty close to where the Franklin Auto Court is now located. The view is toward town.

"On the left in the foreground is Tupper Rock, which at that time stood some 60 or more feet perpendicularly above ground.

"There was a stairway leading to the top (second picture) where a bandstand had been built and the city 'brass band' gave Sunday afternoon concerts.

"The rock is believed of glacial origin and is much harder than any other rock in this section The federal government took over the rock and established a quarry, using the rock in local jetty construction.

"Today, instead of rising 60 to 80 feet above the surface, it is a hole in the ground of equal distance.

"The roadway in the foreground is now part of Ocean Drive.

"The large building to the right is the Ocean House, one of the very first hotels in Bandon. It was a popular stopping place in its day. It was destroyed by fire a few years after this picture was taken."

Reference in the caption is made to Franklin Auto Court, which was built soon after the Fire by Mayor K.I. Franklin. The smaller cottages are gone, but the larger house still stands, and can be seen just west of the gaping hole along Ocean Drive (Seventh Street) which is all that remains of Tupper Rock. Pacific View is built on what remained of Tupper Rock after excavation for the jetties.

I discovered that the same photo was used again in Western World in April of 1959.

That caption explained that "The Ocean House at Bandon Beach was the popular hostelry three-quarters of a century ago. Travelers going north and south, by river boats and horse-stages or on horseback, found this a convenient stopping place."

The third picture I am sharing was taken around 1919 and was looking east, with the Ellingsen building being about where the Arcade Tavern is today. But it's the Minute Cafe, just west of there that I will be talking about today.

It wasn't until after the Fire that the Minute relocated to Second Street, where it remains today.

An item in the July 1929 special section, put out by Western World, talks about the Minute.

"Bandon is well known for its hospitality, its sea shore, its hotel and restaurant accommodations, and one of the very favored eating places of the city, popular with local and transient trade alike is what is known as the "Minute Cafe" and here you get all that the name implies, upto-the-minute service.

"This restaurant, one of the best on the west coast, is owned and operated

by J.W. Cattron and Mrs. Cattron, who both give their personal attention to the work and service. Both are experienced caterers of many years experience.

"Previous to locating

here they were engaged in a like business in Eugene.

The restaurant is particularly noted for its preparation of chicken in any desired style. These chickens are from their own poultry farm near Bandon. Chicken dinners and short orders are served. Six employees are kept busy serving the trade. " Many years later, it was owned and operated by N.L. Dickey and his wife, Myrtle Pollock Dickey. In more recent years, it has been owned by Pat Taylor and her family, but the restaurant has been closed for some months. Today the updated property, which also includes the adjacent parking lot (former home of M&L Grocery), is for sale for $1.2 million dollars. * * * I was sorry to learn that long-time Bandon resident Barbara Dodrill had died March 23 in the Portland area where she had moved recently to be near her daughter, Nona Scott. Barbara was 94 and was much loved by all who knew her. She meant so much to so many people in our community, and had touched so many lives as evidenced by the people who posted memories of her on Facebook.

Immediate survivors include her daughter Nona and son Walt, and their extended families.

Initial plans were to have her funeral at the First Presbyterian Church on Saturday, April 23, but I don't think they have decided on a time, and when I learn it, I will let people know. * * * Coos County has the highest rate of child abuse in the state. When you stop and think about what that means in terms of horrific abuse, sadness and hopelessness for children in our county, we need to ask "what can we do to help?"

A terrible incident of apparent domestic violence occurred in the Coos Bay area last week resulting in the death of man who was struck by a vehicle in a Coos Bay parking lot, leaving a woman facing very serious charges.

I saw a reference on Facebook to children in the family? My heart goes out to all involved.

Rural counties like ours have been particularly hard hit by Oregon's lax drug laws, where treatment is scarce, resources are few and jail beds are often full.

I personally want to thank Bandon's Mary Carol Roberson and all those involved in the Kids' HOPE Center, the child advocacy enter for Coos County, for their tireless efforts to make a difference.

April is Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month.

KHC is once again sponsoring the pinwheel fundraiser and are seeking individual or business sponsors. For more information or to order pinwheels, people can call Sara Bright at 541-2694196 or mail a check to Kids' HOPE Center, 1925 Thompson Road, Coos Bay, OR 97420.

Even if you don't want the pinwheels, please just drop them a check as I did. * * * Talking about the Coos County Jail .... I learned this week that while the county actually has the money budgeted to open a second 49-bed pod, they cannot find the staff to keep it open. As I have mentioned in the past, Coos County has a 250bed jail, and Sheriff Craig Zanni told me he isn't even sure that all 250 beds were ever open. But for way too long only one pod has been open, which has resulted in people who should be in jail, especially repeat property crime offenders, to simply be cited and released.

Something needs to change ... and soon! * * * I have not talked to the police about this, but it

There was a stairway leading to the top where a bandstand had been built and the city 'brass band' gave Sunday afternoon concerts. was posted on Next Door last week that someone had been stealing gasoline and RV batteries from the Bandon Heights area of northeast Bandon. Regardless, it does not hurt to be aware and take necessary precautions. * * * You have probably heard about the tragic accident that occurred March 22 at the intersection of Whiskey Run Lane and Seven Devils Road which resulted in the death of a Seven Devils man, Michael Rogers, 65.

The police report said a vehicle driven by 21-yearold Evan Melton of Myrtle Point, ran a stop sign and collided with Rogers' vehicle. It required the Jaws of Life to free him from the vehicle. He was then taken to Bay Area Hospital, where he later died.

Melton was cited for failure to obey a traffic control device. Neither he nor his passenger were injured.

Mr. Rogers' wife, Donna, retired several years ago as a long-time caregiver/aide at Pacific View, according to my friend Joan Goodbrod, who said Donna lovingly cared for both her and Pete when they lived there. * * * Family and friends gathered at the port dock Friday afternoon to remember Fred Carleton, our longtime city attorney, who died suddenly a year ago of a heart attack at the age of 70. A group of friends, spearheaded by the port and Lori Osborne, raised the money to have a beautiful sculpture carved in his memory. Those of us who contributed had our names engraved on a plaque alongside the sculpture.

Among the family members attending were his brother and sister-in-law from Portland, his sister and brother-in-law from the Seattle area, and his son, John and family from Bandon.

I learned that the same evening, his sister's husband suffered an heart attack and was taken to Southern Coos Hospital where he was stabilized and sent to Bay Area Hospital. * * * Recently, Umpqua Bank manager Sara Kimball posted that they are seeing a surge of counterfeit $20 bills coming through business deposits at the bank. "These are not movie money, but are clearly counterfeit. Please be on the lookout," said Kimball. If people need some resources for training staff, she suggested they go to USCurrency.gov. * * * After a lengthy hearing on food carts at the Planning Commission Thursday night, they voted unanimously to continue the hearing for the next meeting for deliberations only, with no new testimony allowed.

The Tigers broke the game open with 11 runs in the second inning.

Cooper Lang had a double and triple and drove in three runs and Colton Siewell had a double and two RBIs. Chris Butler and Brandon Wilson pitched for the Tigers.

The team is making progress, coach Jay Ferrell said.

“We’re still working through some learning curves on the mound,” he said.

“Clean up some of the small things and throw more strikes and we should be competitive with anyone.”

The Tigers improved to 4-2 overall with the win. They hosted Brookings-Harbor in a nonleague game Wednesday (results were not available by press time).

COQULLE WINS AGAIN: Coquille continued its strong start to the new season with a 17-4 win at Illinois Valley on Monday.

Brittany Bye hit a home run and drove in three during SWOCC’s 9-1 victory over Clackamah.

The World The Southwestern Oregon Community College softball team is off to a 4-0 start to the NWAC South Region season after sweeping road games against Clackamas on Friday (9-1 and 6-3) and Centralia on Saturday (15-0 and 12-2).

The Lakers hosted Clark on Wednesday (results were not available by press time) and also are home against Lower Columbia on Saturday in two more league twin bills.

SWOCC’s hitters continued swinging hot bats throughout the weekend.

Brittany Bye, Alyssa Smokey and Hannah Tennant all hit home runs in the opener, with Bye and Tennant driving in three runs and Smokey scoring three and driving in two.

Bye also had a home run and drove in three runs in the second game. McKenna Marshall also had three RBIs, and had a double.

In the first game against Centralia, Marshall had two homers and Katelynn Evans, Tennant and Alapese Matautia also went deep. Tennant also had a double and drove in four runs and Samantha Mansfield and Brooklynn Cox each had two doubles. Evans scored three runs.

In the weekend’s final game, Smokey,

Tennant and Marshall all hit home runs and Mansfield and Matautia both hit two doubles.

Six different players had at least two hits and Tennant had three runs and three RBIs and Smokey three runs and two RBIS. Smokey also pitched a three-hitter with 10 strikeouts in the opener and struck out seven more in three innings in Saturday’s first game. Emma Fournier, Joslyn Soinnila, Natalie Gardea and Trinity Jordan also saw time in the pitching circle for the Lakers.

After the weekend, SWOCC was 18-2 overall and had 13 straight wins.

BASEBALL The SWOCC baseball team had a strong finish to the preseason, taking three of four games from Blue Mountain over the weekend to enter the NWAC South Region season at 11-9.

The Lakers swept Friday’s games 15-8 and 6-0 and split Saturday’s games, losing the opener 5-4 and winning the nightcap 7-2.

Taigo Sato had five hits in the opener, driving in three runs and scoring two. Bula White had three hits, three runs and three RBIs and both Sato and White had doubles in the contest. Payton Cleaves also had a double and single and drove in three runs.

In Friday’s second game, Devin Beckstead

and Nathan McKenna combined on a shutout on the mound, with Beckstead striking out 10 and allowing six hits over the first seven innings and McKenna allowing just one base runner on a walk the final two. White, Noah Sumibcay and Chase Stewart all had two hits and an RBI, with White scoring two runs and Sumibcay and Stewart one each.

In Saturday’s win, Derek Atkinson went six innings on the mound, allowing just one hit and striking out eight, and Jordan Cezar pitched the final three frames, completing a combined four-hitter. Sato, Ryan Cooper and Skyler Rogue-Sunahara each had two hits and Cooper scored two runs.

In SWOCC’s lone loss of the weekend, Blue Mountain rallied from a 4-1 deficit in the final two innings.

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.

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.

The World

This week in Coos County history: April 1 - April 4 100 YEARS — 1922 Week-end trains to be resumed Service to Umpqua points to start again

The Southern Pacific will resume the Saturday and Sunday special trains between Coos Bay and the Umpqua river beginning April 1.

The train will leave Marshfield for Reedsport and Gardiner Saturday and Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. and will arrive on the return trip both evenings at 9:10 p.m.

The service was maintained last year and was popular for those who wanted to spend week end outing at Lakeside, Reedsport and other points north of here. Aside from the convenience to outing parties, it will be of benefit to people north of the Bay by giving them an additional shopping day on which they can come down in the afternoon and return the same night.

600,000 Miners stop labors in U.S. coal fields

First time in history of industry anthracite and bituminous fields are idle 6000 to 7500 mines in country closed This is anniversary of eight-hour day; is usually holiday so may not be test Will be certain Monday Belief, however, is that the strike is quite general throughout the country — Lewis to make appeal to government For the first time in the history of the coal industry both the bituminous and anthracite fields are virtually idle today as the result of cessation of work of six hundred thousand miners last midnight.

Union officials asserted that 6000 of the

7500 mines in the country are shut down.

The first day of national suspension fell on the anniversary of the adoption of the eight hour day, April 1. The day has been observed generally as a holiday in normal times, due to which the estimate of the completeness of the suspension is not regarded as final.

President Lewis of the United Mine Workers planned to leave Indianapolis tonight for Washington and “lay the miner’s cause before the house labor committee in detail Monday.”

Declared to be the worst road in world

That is what Douglas commissioner & roadmaster say about Loon Lake Highway The Loon Lake road is the worst road in the world, according to County Commissioner R.W. Long and Roadmaster Floyd Frear, upon their return from a trip down the Umpqua, says the Courier of Reedsport. They visited roads in the Elkton, Scottsburg, Reedsport and Loon Lake territory and found work proceeding very rapidly.

The grading work on Hancock mountain will be finished in a month or six weeks if good weather is experienced. On the Reedsport section over one half mile of grade has been thrown up by the dredger while the Montague-O’Rielly grade will probably be done about the last of July.

The new Loon Lake road is being worked from both ends. Clyde Catching has a crew of 50 men working on the north end and L. B. Judy is working with a small crew form the lake end. The residents of the Loon Lake territory are reported to be very happy over the prospects of a new road. The old road is twelve miles long and has grades of as high as 30 per cent. At the present time it takes

the mail contractor a full day to get his stage from Scottsburg to Loon Lake and another day for the return trip. The new road will have a maximum grade of 5 per cent and for most of the distance is level.

of storing 12 pieces of district equipment.

Fire losses also were kept at a minimum, with total damage estimated at $4,500. The full amount was caused by 31 fires in timber lands which burned over 46 acres.

‘Pre’ runs swift 6-mile

Black lab has a nose for baseballs

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (UPI) — Steve Prefontaine of Oregon clocked 27:22.3 in the all-comers meet Saturday to become the 11th-fastest six-miler in world history.

Prefontaine ran the six miles for the first time ever competitively and officials said his time was the third fastest ever turned in by an American.

The all-comers meet included entrants from Oregon, San Jose State, Bay Area Striders, Fresno City College, the U.S. Army & Air Force teams.

Mason, EMS, Ford, Reed and Ballard … still looking for your baseball that was lost in the bushes at Ferry Road Park in North Bend?

Were they lost a couple days ago? Last month? Last year? More than 10 years ago?

Well, Bud has got them, and there are plenty more.

Brand new baseballs, some that have turned a tan color, some that are falling apart and some with no hide on them at all — that is Bud the Ball Boy’s collection, and at last count, it was up to 197.

Not bad for a 4-year-old black lab.

Bud, whose birth name is Budkiss, began the baseball addiction when his owner moved across from Ferry Road Park a year ago. Dena McDonald, who has had Bud since he was 8 weeks old, found out last fall that her dog was not a bird dog, but a ball dog.

It was an innocent jaunt to the park when Bud came out of some bushes with a baseball.

McDonald told him to get another one, and after an hour of fetch, her pockets were full of seven baseballs.

The urge to find more has been in Bud’s system ever since, as well as the smell of leather from the baseballs.

These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School.

Record low burn inside Coos district

Fewer acres were burned over by forest fires within Coos Forest Protective Assn. district last year than in any year since CFPA began keeping acreage records.

This statistic was part of the annual report made Tuesday by District Forester Norm Boyd at the 62nd annual meeting.

Wayne Gray, CFPA administrative officer, was honored for his 30 years of service to the organized protection district.

Boyd attributed the record low acreage-burn to “well above normal” rainfall during the summer months, “keeping the fire hazard in the low to moderate range until mid-July.”

The favorable fire year resulted in substantial financial savings, Boyd continued, allowing the district to buy the abandoned state highway facility in Bridge. The two structures are capable

No one injured in Empire fire The Coos Bay Fire Department responded to a house fire on Crocker Street in the Empire District of Coos Bay just after 2 p.m. Friday. Upon arriving at the scene, firefighters found heavy fire coming from the front and north side of the house.

With initial reports stating there was possibly two houses on fire, Coos Bay Fire Department requested assistance from North Bend Fire Department.

Firefighters from both departments worked together to extinguish the fire within

15 minutes of arriving.

Charleston Fire District was also requested to assist with searching for additional hot spots throughout the house.

The house was occupied at the time the fire broke out. A working smoke alarm in the house alerted the occupants in time for all three to escape without injury. All three occupants were evaluated by Bay Cities Ambulance on scene.

Three pets are unaccounted for at this time, but are believed to have also escaped the fire and smoke.

After an investigation, it was determined that the cause was a fire that was accidentally started on a couch.

Extensive damage to the interior and exterior of the home is estimated at $300,000 for repairs and replacement of personal belongings.

This is a good reminder to check smoke alarms and replace if they are more than 10 years old. Coos Bay Fire Department in partnership with the Red Cross offers free smoke alarms to any home in Coos Bay, contact the fire station for more information.

Dancing like everyone’s watching

By HILARY DORSEY Country Media

Stephen Goetz, 75 years old, has a mission to spread joy to Lincoln City. You may have seen him on Highway 101, dancing and waving to the cars passing by.

Goetz moved to Lincoln City in 2018. He had lived in Portland at one time when he was younger. He has also lived in California.

“I’m trying to get back to my self-worth and be happy now,” Goetz said. “I had trauma so much in my life, and now I’m setting my soul free like a butterfly.”

He lived in Sacramento for 38 years while taking care of his mom. He started dancing on the street during a trip to San Francisco, blowing kisses to cars that passed.

He then danced in Sacramento at a bus stop.

People liked the dancing, Goetz added. They honked and blew kisses back.

“I kept it up,” Goetz said. “I just send love out on the street.”

Goetz also writes poetry.

“This August, I’m going to be in the third book coming out, a poetry anthology book, with 123 writers around the world,” Goetz said. “It’s published in India.”

Goetz said his work appears in the book’s two hard copy versions per year.

“GloMag” is printed every February and August by Glory Sasikala. The books are put out for sale in India and sometimes the U.K. They are also sold on Amazon.

“I’ve had poems published in the Seychelles Islands and all over online,” Goetz said. “I’m proud of myself.”

Goetz has won awards from Motivational Strips, an active writers forum. He has poet friends from all over the world and over 1,000 friends on Facebook, many of which are fans of

“I’m going to keep dancing,” Goetz said.

Dancing for passerby is important to him as so many people are down. He hopes to lift people up with his positivity.

He’s been told his dancing makes people smile. Many people call him Uncle Stevie. When people are down, he talks to them and builds them up.

Goetz said he plans to have an amazing life the rest of his days.

He will be turning 76 years old this May and will continue to dance on the street.

As you drive past Highway 101, give him a shout or a wave in support.

The Chamber Minute: Holiday Lights are back A community tradition was born in 1987 when the Friends of Shore Acres decided to “string a few lights” to help celebrate the holidays. That first season, 6,000 miniature lights, one large Christmas tree, and the decorated Garden House drew 9,000 visitors.

Now, after a COVID shutdown in 2020 and 2021, it was recently announced that Holiday Lights at Shore Acres is back for 2022, bringing magic to the Coast.

With 325,000 LED lights - many decorated Christmas trees, lighted sculptures, entertainment in the pavilion, and a beautifully decorated Garden House, it draws 40,000 to 50,000 visitors each season. Inside the Garden House, scrolls of names are a tribute to business supporters and the more than 1,500 volunteers who make it happen.

So beginning Thanksgiving day through the entire month

of December, plan to make the trip to Shore Acres for Holiday Lights. Don’t forget to sign the registry in the Garden House and enjoy the free hot spiced cider and cookies.

But why bring that up now?

To remind you of this wonderful event and have you mark your calendars for the light stringing at Shore Acres which starts in October and lasts for up to 6 weekends. Anyone is welcome to come on out and participate. Just show up at 10 am on either Saturday or Sunday, and they will give you a job. Hey, you even get a free lunch.

Holiday Lights is the premiere annual project of the Friends of Shore Acres. All of the Friends’ activities are done in cooperation with Shore Acres State Park and the Sunset Bay Management Unit. The outstanding cooperation of everyone involved sets an excellent example for other

Our backyard plum tree has been blooming madly, but it’s not abuzz. The petals are starting to drift from the tree in clouds, but there wasn’t a swarm of bees you’d expect from such a bounty of blossoms.

Oregon Department of Agriculture reports about 500 species of bees are native to our state, but darned few individuals are feeding on my flowers. I don’t think we’ll be getting many plums this year.

Although humans enjoy the honey and use the wax and pollen and other products bees produce, it’s the bees’ pollination role that we depend on most.

Pollination by animals is critical to the reproductive success of flowering plants. The showy colors, tempting shapes and seductive scents of flowers -- all biologically expensive features -- evolved to lure animals into helping with the plants’ sexual reproduction.

Some flowers are pollinator-specific, being especially attractive to one species or a few related species; some pollinating animals are flower-specific, some are generalists. Whether specialized or generalized, the association of flower and pollinator has evolved over eons, driving the form of those animals as well as the form of flowers.

Bees are especially adapted to drink and use flower nectar, as well as collect and use flower pollen. Long (but not too long), specially shaped tongues draw nectar from the throat of flowers.

Special hairs on the body and legs (called “pollen baskets”) snag the pollen and keep it aboard for the flight home.

While we might think pollen collection is accidental, bees sometimes target pollen as a high-protein food source for their larvae.

Of the perhaps 200,000 species of animals world-wide that pollinate flowers, about 40,000 are bees. In North America and Europe, the domestic honey bee native to Europe (Apis mellifera) is used extensively in agriculture.

Nearly a third of US agricultural crops, primarily fruits, vegetables, and nuts, depends on bees

to fertilize the flowers so they yield the fruit -- most of those insects are commercial honey bees.

Domestic honey bee populations have declined drastically in the last several decades, with as much as a 50% drop in the US domestic bees in the last 50 years.

Many species of wild bees, including the big, fuzzy bumble bees, have declined even further -- with reports of up to 99% loss of certain species in some areas.

According to the USDA, it appears these valuable allies are being overcome by a variety of difficult challenges.

Several kinds of introduced mites plague both domestic and native bees. Varroa mites, found on honey bees the world ‘round, are a very serious threat. Besides sucking blood from adult bees, parasitic mites feed on the larvae and pupa of the bees. Bees that feed varroa mites as larvae or pupa may have deformed or missing wings or legs, and the parasites weaken the bees and make them more susceptible to viruses and other diseases.

Varroa mites hail from Asia and North American and European bees have little resistance to them.

The invasion of Africanized bees also weighs in as possibly contributing to bee declines. A hybrid species between European and African honey bees, Africanized honey bees are more aggressive than the domestic or native bees and may displace them.

Habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as climate change, are detrimental, too, forcing bees to work harder for their living.

Pollution also takes a major toll. Pesticides applied to control insect pests often also kill insect allies; even electromagnetic radiation, such as from mobile phones, may be interrupting the navigation systems bees use to Please see Nature, Page B6
