Wyden meets with transportation secretary to push port plans

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The World file photo

Sen. Ron Wyden is working to bring more federal dollars to help the Port of Coos Bay move forward with a goal of bringing a container shipping terminal to Coos Bay.

The International Port of Coos Bay’s goal of bringing a shipping container facility to Coos Bay is getting attention in the highest halls of Washington D.C. Last week, Sen. Ron Wyden spent some time talking to Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg about the proposal, asking the secretary to help fund some of the improvements needed in the port to make the shipping facility a reality.

Wyden said the two Oregon senators and Congressman Peter DeFazio are all working to get federal support for the Port of Coos Bay. “We are all in, the three of us,” Wyden said. “As the senior member and the

longest serving, I’ve seen one proposal after another over the years and it just didn’t come together. I think this time Coos Bay’s going to thread the needle. This time it’s going to come together.”

Wyden said during his meeting with Buttigieg, he showed the secretary data about how the shipping facility could benefit the nation and the entire west coast.

“He really wants to know why something’s going to be an economic winner,” Wyden said. “I told him about the shorter times compared to other west coast ports. Close access to rail means you can move the goods faster. As I told him the details, I could see he was warming up.”

Wyden said the plans for the shipping container facility will set an example for the

nation if things are finished.

With the rail line already in place, the facility could move freight fast and in a way that doesn’t hurt the environment.

“I told him, Secretary Pete, what we’re doing in Coos Bay is we’re going to set the bar, modern and environmentally friendly. I think we’re well positioned.”

Wyden said he and Merkley are also poised to lead the way in the Senate to get full support from the federal government.

“I also said, Secretary Pete as chairman of the Finance Committee, I’m going to use all my powers to make sure the administration has all the finances to pay for these infrastructure projects,” Wyden said.

North Bend pitches in for Ukraine Students from the North Bend High School Culinary Arts program cooked wood-fired pizzas Saturday to raise money for World Central Kitchen, which is feeding Ukrainian refugees.

The students were scheduled to start selling pizzas at noon, but a massive turnout forced them to open early. Chef Frank Murphy said he was amazed by the turnout from the community and the students, and hoped to raise thousands of dollars for World Central Kitchen. The organization travels the globe providing free food in areas of crisis. Central World Kitchen has already provided 3 million meals for refugees fleeing from Ukraine.

Murphy said the students wanted to do something to help out and came up with the idea of raising funds for Central World Kitchen. For complete information, see the Friday edition of The World.

Marine patrols urge waterway safety JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media

Marine patrol members across Oregon and the Oregon Marine Board are urging safety as people head to local waterways for recreation this spring and summer.

In the coming weeks more people will be pulling out their boats from winter storage in preparation for launch in the waters of this state.

Rivers and the Pacific Ocean (even the surf zone) are the most inherently dangerous, according to the Oregon Marine Board.

It’s important to always scout ahead, mind the tide, decide on the safest route and expect the unexpected, the Oregon Marine Board states on its website, adding that most accidents and fatalities are due to falling overboard, collisions, and operator error/misjudgment, and reckless behavior.

The state marine board urges boaters and watercraft users to ask the themselves the following questions.

Think about what you would do if you fell overboard. Could you self-rescue?

What do you do if you’re caught in a snag?

What do you do if your boat swings around and the anchor

line is near the prop?

“Thinking is a necessity in boating. Act with intention. Be smart about your activity and understand how your activity impacts those around you,” the Oregon Marine Board website reads.

The Oregon State Marine Board contracts with 32 county sheriff’s offices and the Oregon State Police to enforce boating laws and help patrol Oregon’s waterways. The Marine Board provides state-of-the-art, hands-on training for marine law enforcement and provides equipment, gear, and funding for patrol boats.

The following are suggestions from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office which can contribute to your safety and add to your boating pleasure.

Know the legal requirements for your size vessel. Safety equipment must be accessible and in working condition.

Wear your life jackets!! 85% of the boating fatalities could be avoided by wearing a personal flotation device. Remember it won’t save your life if you don’t wear it.

Have children and non-swimmers wear a personal flotation device. Each device should be of suitable size for the intended wearer and fit securely. 90% of Please see PATROLS Page A2

COVID cases fall more, deaths still common

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

As the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, the threat of the virus is still seen every day.

For most people, COVID is a thing of the past, but for dozens across Oregon every day it is literally life and death. Over the last week, as the Oregon Health Authority has released its daily case counts, the state has also announced new deaths, with more than 30 deaths announced almost every day.

In Coos County, two new deaths were reported in the last week, both in elderly people with underlying health conditions.

Dr. Eric Gleason, assistant director of Coos Health & Wellness, said COVID-linked deaths will continue even as the majority of people move on from the virus.

“I think it may be part of life for a while,” Gleason said. “I anticipate it will be steady. We’re seeing it affect those individuals, especially the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. We had the booster that was approved the other day, for those 50 and over or those 12 and up with severe underlying conditions. The preventative measures are still out there.”

Gleason referred to the CDC announcement it was approving a fourth shot for some people.

The second booster is available to anyone over 50 and anyone 12 and up with severe underlying conditions. The second booster can be received four months after someone receives a third booster shot.

Gleason said whether someone gets the new booster will be an individual decision, but he said it can save lives.

“Research has indicated it is helping people get through this without severe disease,” he said.

“I would recommend it. If I was in that group, I would get it.”

The booster is available on a walk-in basis at Coos Heath & Wellness as well as at local pharmacies and through doctor’s offices.

Gleason said the future remains a little cloudy with COVID. His hope is that COVID morphs into something like the flu, were people who want to can get a yearly shot to protect themselves.

“That would be best case scenario, if we were going to live with it forever then we would deal with it like we do the flu,” Gleason said.

So is the pandemic over?

“As much as we would like it to be, it’s not,” Gleason said. “I think it’s more manageable than it was in the beginning. We’ve learned more. We’ve put more tools in our tool box. I think we’re in a darn better position than when we started this.”

Much like the OHA, which announced it would not be emailing daily COVID reports beginning this week, Gleason said Coos Health & Wellness was going to cut back on what it releases to the public. Rather than daily Facebook reports, the local health office is going to use its website to share information for those who are Please see COVID, Page A2

Wyden From A1

Wyden said his goal was to break down the proposal in ways that would get Buttigieg to strongly support it.

“I think I’m going to be making the argument this is the model for the entire country, and this is a model for the infrastructure bill,” Wyden said.

He said as part of the bipartisan infrastructure bill, Buttigieg has discretion to send millions of dollars to projects he supports.

Wyden said of his goals was to impress on the secretary work that work in channels like the Port of Coos Bay was a good way to spend the money.

Wyden said he is also

Patrols From A1 those who die in boating accidents drown.

Be prepared and carry extra equipment such as a bailer (bucket), anchor, first aid kit, visual distress signal, tool kit, flashlight with extra batteries, and a cell phone.

Don’t over load your boat. Follow the recommendations on the capacity plate of your boat.

Capsizing, sinking, and falling overboard account for 70% of boating fatalities.

If your boat should capsize, your best chance for survival and rescue is to stay with the boat. Pull as much of your body out of the water as possible to preserve body warmth.

Hypothermia can be a killer; keep your body dry and warm as possible.

It is illegal to operate any boat while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Use the designated driver concept; a sober skipper is a must.

Stressors such as exposure to sun, wind, cold water, vibration, noise,

have the same discussions with the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Transportation.

“The DOT can and should allow channel work to be done,” Wyden said.

“It’s a significant investment. Top-line it’s looking at a billion.”

Wyden said to get the project over the finish line will require the federal, state and local governments working together on things like land acquisition, channel deepening and rail line improvements.

“As senator, I’ve seen people taken to the mountains, this is it and I’ve seen hopes get dashed,” Wyden said. “This time, I think Coos Bay can thread the needle.” and alcohol all affect your ability to react.

Don’t run out of fuel.

Practice the 1/3 rule: 1/3 for trip, 1/3 for return, and 1/3 for spare.

Fuel vapors are heavier than air and collect in the bilge. Never fill gasoline cans in the boat.

When anchoring, use a line that is several times longer than the depth of the water and never anchor by the stern.

File a float plan. Let someone know where you’re boating and when you’ll be back.

You’re responsible for damage or injury caused by your wake. Exercise caution around other boaters and docks.

By state law, all persons operating a motorboat greater than 10 horsepower are required to carry a Boater Education Card.

The card shows that the operator has passed an approved boater education course or equivalency exam.

Congressman DeFazio honored with Organic Champion Award The World

In 1990, then junior Congressmember Peter DeFazio (D-OR) did the unthinkable – he dug in his heels for a farm bill amendment that he knew was opposed by both the chair and ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee. Against the odds, that amendment – the Organic Foods Production Act – passed and the National Organic Program was born. Representative DeFazio would spend the next 30 years building on that bold act and cementing his place in history as an organic champion. At this week’s Organic Trade Association’s Organic Week, DeFazio was honored with the Organic Champion award for his decades of

COVID From A1 interested.

“It’s one of the things, it’s something we’re still focused on,” Gleason said.

“It’s something we want to get information out about.

It’s not that we have gone away from COVID, because we have a number of people focusing on it. But it’s one of the things we’re focusing on.”

Gleason said despite his concerns he has heard of no real problems in schools since the mask mandate was lifted.

“I would love to be wrong, I want to be wrong,” he said. “I haven’t been so far, but I would like to be. I hope I’m wrong with the schools.”

Editor’s Note: After two years of weekly meetings with Coos Health & Wellness, the meetings are being suspended due to the declining cases. Therefore, the weekly stories about COVID will also stop unless conditions change. We will keep an eye on COVID and report when news needs to be shared.

leadership and support.

“We have Congressmember DeFazio, alongside his counterpart Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), to thank for bringing organic into the fold at USDA,” says OTA CEO and Executive Director Laura Batcha. “Thirty-plus years after the 1990 Farm Bill, it’s amazing to see how much organic has grown in the U.S. – and none of it would be possible without leaders in Congress like Representative DeFazio. I’m so grateful that we have this opportunity to recognize his many years of service with the Organic Champion Award at Organic Week 2022.”

In addition to co-authoring OFPA and helping to create federal standards for the then-burgeoning organic agriculture movement, DeFazio also founded and co-chaired – alongside Congressman Ron Kind (D-WI) – the House

Organic Caucus, a group of bipartisan lawmakers dedicated to promoting the organic sector. Today, the Caucus boasts more than 50 members. DeFazio, Kind, and Leahy have all announced their retirements this year and are all being honored for their leadership at during Organic Week 2022.

“I’m honored to receive the Organic Champion Award from the Organic Trade Association,” said DeFazio. “In 1990, I was proud to author the bill that established the National Organic Program, which ensures that when consumers buy food labeled as organic, they can trust it truly is. Consumers know that when food has the USDA Organic label, it meets a high national standard.

Over my time in Congress, I’ve continued my support of the organic industry by helping provide robust funding for federal pro-

grams as well as fighting to maintain the integrity of the organic label. I thank the Organic Trade Association for this award.”

“Congressman DeFazio was willing to introduce and fight for the Organic Foods Production Act in the House when no one else would consider doing so,” says Lynn Coody of Organically Grown Company. “He has taken the lead for decades on organic policy, always with the goal of advocating for directions that would allow organic farmers, handlers, and processors to prosper.

His leadership will be sorely missed by many, especially by those of us who have had the honor of working with him.”

The retirement of several organic champions from Congress this year opens the door for the industry to pass the baton to a new, more diverse generation of leaders.

Douglas County senior dining sites to re-open Douglas County commissioners along with the Douglas County Senior Services Department recently announced the re-opening of the rural senior dining sites to ‘dinein’ bistro-style service.

Over the last two years, the senior dining sites have been limited to drivethrough meal pick-up service due to the pandemic. But, now the county is ready to re-open the senior dining sites to in-person dining. Along with the re-opening, the county announced the dining sites have undergone some upgrades, starting with a new name, ‘Bistro Sixty.’ The newly upgraded ‘Bistro Sixty’ sites now offer café style seating, new table décor, longer hours and classy dinnerware.

The senior dining sites are located in Glendale.

Glide, Sutherlin, Riddle, Winston, Yoncalla and Reedsport.

The re-opening of our

Bistro Sixty senior dining sites comes as the county celebrate 50 years of the Senior Nutrition Program in the United States.

According to the Administration for Community Living, since 1972, the national Senior Nutrition Program has supported nutrition services for older adults across the country.

Funded in part by the Older Americans Act, local senior nutrition programs serve as hubs for older adults to access nutritious meals and other vital services that strengthen social connections and promote health and well-being.

The first two ‘Bistro Sixty’ senior dining sites re-opened last week, the Bistro Sixty Glendale, located at 176 Glendale Town Road, re-opened March 22, and the Bistro Sixty Glide, located at 20062 N. Umpqua Highway, re-opened March 24.

Letters to the Editor Reinvigorate demicracy Frustrated, or even angry, about the failure of our government and society to provide opportunity and hope for your future? Politicians, both Democrat and Republican, offer platitudes, but often fail to address our real needs. Don’t give up on our democracy. Reinvigorate it.

Vote Doyle Canning for the 4th Congressional District.

Pete DeFazio delivered for our district in many ways over the years. Who do we need for this time? Doyle Canning.

Doyle Canning has also been delivering for Oregonians.

When Oregon landowners were threatened with the use of eminent domain authority to take their private land for the Jordon Cove project, Doyle Canning joined other activists in successfully halting the project. A project which would have risked the welfare of Oregonians in order to ship liquefied natural gas across the ocean.

Doyle Canning has over 20 years’ experience organizing communities and fighting corporate power. Doyle Canning will not bow to Jordan Cove corporate power as her opponent did. Doyle Canning pledges not to take donations from corporations (such as those behind Jordon Cove) as her opponent did. Instead, Doyle Canning will strengthen Oregon families by working to combat climate change, get corporate money out of politics, provide Medicare for all, and provide debt free education.

Doyle Canning is who the 4th Congressional District needs now as their REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS. Jeannie Culp Bandon

Vote yes to support Charleston businesses The Charleston Merchants Association is in favor of this initiative. The net result of passage will enhance the Charleston area via a new visitor’s center, increased tourism promotion and enhanced public safety.

• More than $277 million was spent by visitors to Coos County in 2019. This measure will encourage these valuable dollars coming in to our community to continue.

• All of the funds stay within the county and nothing is sent to Salem, benefiting the area directly.

• This will only affect visitors who stay overnight in a lodging facility in the Charleston and Barview areas.

• The only county park to be affected is Bastendorff and that will only apply to overnight stays in the camp ground. Nothing else will change regarding county parks.

• On a $40 tent site, a visitor will be asked to contribute less than $4. This will enhance the visit to the area next time.

• This program is already in place in Coos Bay and North Bend. The same type of program is also in place most everywhere in the country and the world.

Charleston is an unincorporated community and so this is the method used to allow the community to participate.

• Tourism dollars in our community keep your local grocery store, tackle shop, gas station and small business going. This allows our community to have thriving local businesses that might otherwise not make it with just local traffic.

Letters to the Editor Help us enhance our community by voting yes on measure on measure 6-194!

Tim Hyatt President Charleston Merchants Association Tourists are used to paying a lodging tax The proposed Charleston short-term lodging tax makes sense for business, for tourists and for our community.

My parents own a bed and breakfast in Coos Bay. They charge around 9 percent on behalf of the city and not one person over their 12 years of ownership has blinked or batted an eye at it. Why? Because they expect to pay it. They already pay it everywhere else.

When people decide to go on vacation, rarely does it come up that they won’t visit a location because there’s a lodging tax.

This lodging tax is collected from visitors who stay in RV parks, vacation rentals, bed and breakfast establishments, hotels, motels and campgrounds. It’s a small percentage being asked

and it’s perfectly in line with the similar taxes collected in Coos Bay and North Bend. A $40 campsite will cost less than $4 more. That doesn’t break a vacation.

Lodging establishment owners see the benefit; that’s why those entrepreneurs in Charleston support it.

Extra promotion means more visitors. Every $1 spent on tourism marketing brings $20 into our community. But it doesn’t just benefit lodging establishments.

There are many gas stations, stores and other businesses that we all enjoy locally which might not otherwise be here if not for the infusion of out-of-town dollars. More promotion and more visitors means more money spent in our community.

This tax also supports law enforcement patrols in Charleston.

Locals and visitors alike benefit from fewer thefts in that area

with a larger police presence. A safer community benefits us all.

A new visitor center is a valid desire of the Charleston Merchants Association. They want to put a better face on their community and provide a much-needed hub for their where visitors can get information and perhaps a community meeting could happen.

VITA Programs Still Help Families Claim Child Tax Credit

By Joanna Ain and Barbara Saverino InsideSources.com

Over the last year, we have seen the power of monthly payments to reduce the child poverty rate. As of December 2021, 3.7 million children had been kept out of poverty due to an expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC). But since the end of the advanced monthly CTC payments in December the child poverty rate has already jumped from 12 percent to 17 percent.

There are now 3.7 million more children in poverty due to the expiration of the monthly CTC payments, with Latino and Black children experiencing the largest increases in poverty.

However, because of the recent expansion of the CTC families still have the opportunity to access half of their total CTC as well as other important and expanded tax credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit — by filing their 2021 taxes.

Prior to the credit’s expansion through the American Rescue Plan in 2021, nearly half of all Black and Latinx children were excluded from the full benefit because their families did not meet the minimum income qualifications placed by the government for this assistance. This changed when the credit became fully refundable in 2021 and available immediately to all eligible households.

Because of this change, many families will be doing their taxes in 2022 for the first time.

For those families filing their taxes for the first time in order to claim these supports, Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) programs can help them through

the complexities of the process. Many families spend precious hard-earned dollars each year on tax-preparation services — a loss that can greatly affect their bottom line.

That is why it is critical for families to be aware of how to access free tax-preparation services that can help them make sure no benefit they are entitled to is left unclaimed.

March 16 was VITA Awareness Day, designed to raise public awareness about one such service available to families throughout the country. VITA has been a trusted resource for more than half a century, helping families file their taxes and obtain access to critical tax credits and refunds. These credits can serve as an important boost in families’ income — a way for them to get up to date with bill payments, pay down debt and save for the future.

Each year, tens of thousands of IRS-certified volunteers trained by VITA — working at sites in every state — ensure that low-income households that cannot access professional tax services can still claim and keep the full amount of any tax credits that they have earned and are eligible for, including the CTC and the EITC. In 2021, more than 2,800 VITA sites — many still dealing with the continuing ramifications of COVID-19 — prepared nearly 1 million returns generating more than $1.7 billion in refunds to lower-income families. Impressively, VITA sites maintained a 96 percent accuracy rate — the highest in the industry.

For families with internet access who are comfortable doing their taxes online, another resource is MyFreeTaxes. United Way provides MyFreeTaxes in partnership with the VITA program to help filers prepare their tax returns on their own while getting the assistance they

need. Since 2009, MyFreeTaxes has helped more than 1.3 million taxpayers claim every credit and deduction they deserve.

In addition, another nonprofit online service called GetYourRefund connects low-income families with trained and IRS-certified VITA volunteers who will prepare and file their taxes online for them just as if they were at a physical VITA site. Both Prosperity Now and United Way are proud to work with VITA and other free tax-preparation partners that provide quality, no-cost tax preparation to millions of families around the country.

Families are continuing to struggle to have enough resources to meet their financial obligations. In the face of a global pandemic, families barely getting by cannot afford to leave any tax benefits on the table. This reality is the impetus behind United Way and Prosperity Now’s efforts to continue to help families access critical help to navigate financial hardship.

Getting taxes done safely and securely is critical for low-income families, and VITA services and other free tax-preparation tools are more important than ever during this filing season. Keeping these programs viable and strong is a first step to giving families a tax refund that can be a lifeline for their financial stability.

Biden’s Conflicted Gas Policies: One for Europe, Another for U.S.

By Llewellyn King InsideSources.com

Joe Biden at war and Joe Biden at peace aren’t the same person. When it comes to the Russia-Ukraine war and energy policy, the U.S. president is severely conflicted.

Central to Biden’s strategy has been to cut off Russia’s huge revenues from exporting natural gas to Europe. He has unambiguously declared that the shortfall Europe will have in natural gas supplies from Russia will, in time, be remedied with other sources, especially with liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports from the United States.

So far so good. But Biden has always favored the environmental vision of the left wing of his own party and its implacable resistance to all forms of carbon-based fossil fuels because of their contribution to global warming.

Europe imports one-third of the natural gas it needs for electric generation, heating, and other domestic uses by pipeline from Russia. Particularly vulnerable is Germany, which depends on half of its gas imports from Russia: a dependency which it has happily allowed to grow year after year.

That was worsened when Germany turned its back on nuclear, aided by its in-

fluential Greens, after Japan’s Fukushima disaster in 2011.

Charlie Riedl, executive director of the Center for LNG at the Natural Gas Supply Association, said on the PBS program “White House Chronicle,” it will take several years to boost U.S. LNG exports to Europe and will need substantial infrastructure investment.

The United States has six operating export LNG terminals and a seventh nearly ready to enter operation. Europe has 26 main receiving terminals and eight smaller ones. Each new U.S. terminal has a price tag of around $20 billion, Riedl confirmed. Similarly, tankers must be available and gas exporters, like Qatar, are increasing their tanker fleets.

The impediments to building new natural gas infrastructure in the United States are formidable. On the same broadcast, Sheila Hollis, acting executive director of the U.S. Energy Association, a non-partisan, non-lobbying group that embraces all energy, explained, “I don’t think there is any easy way to make anything happen of this magnitude in the country, regardless of what infrastructure you’re building, or which industry’s infrastructure.

She went on to say, “I do think it will remain an ongoing saga of slogging your way through the morass of regulations,

both state and federal of every conceivable variety, and the strong opposition that comes from entities like financing communities and universities that may have a particular interest in reducing CO2; and because of the magnitude, it is one that will be lit on in the regulatory setting, in the judicial setting, and in the legislative setting, both state and federal, because that is the nature of the beast.”

Moreover, Hollis said, there are environmental justice sensitivities: “Who gets the work? Where will the facilities be sited? And there will be extreme attention to environmental issues at the facilities and the pipelines.”

Biden is caught between his own plans to cut fossil fuel use in electric supply in the nation and his commitment to Europe that the United States will be a reliable supplier of fuel for their electricity needs over the long haul.

Commitment is important to the gas industry which is whipsawed between demands for natural gas and attempts to limit its use by obstructing development.

New natural gas infrastructure will need to operate over several decades to recover investment — at odds with the Biden plan to reduce fossil fuel generation in the United States by 2030 and get to net-zero by 2050.

A bright spot: The industry is confident

that sometime in the future, carbon can be removed from natural gas at the time of combustion. This technology is called carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and envisages getting the carbon out of the combustion effluent before it goes into the air. It can then be used as a building material and for future gas and oil well stimulation.

According to USEA’s Hollis, the Department of Energy is working with its national laboratories and is making solid progress in perfecting the technology.

Energy aficionados believe increasingly that a breakthrough is at hand.

If that is so, then Biden can shush his environmental critics and approach the future with more confidence, giving gas companies and utilities the durable assurances they need.

Meanwhile, Biden is bullish on future gas in Europe and bearish on gas in the United States. As in the Johnny Mercer song, “something’s gotta give.”

LENGTHY MARRIAGE NOW INCLUDES THREATS AND ILL WILL ODFW releases comprehensive DEAR ABBY: I am a 50-year-old man, married for 25 years.

My wife is older than me. In the beginning, it was great, but our relationship slowly started failing, and now we argue about everything. I feel like I’m trapped in a cage.

We don’t have one single thing in common anymore.

I want a happy life with or without her, but I see nothing but darkness around me. When I ask for divorce, I get accused of cheating and threatened with paying her spousal support for the rest of my life.

Marriage counseling doesn’t seem to be an option. What should I do? -- WANTS TO BE FREE IN OREGON DEAR WANTS: If marriage counseling “isn’t an option,” it doesn’t mean you can’t get psychological counseling to help you become emotionally stronger. While you’re at it, it is important that you talk with an attorney about the divorce laws in your state. Once you have done that, you will be better able to decide if you want to “live in darkness” for the rest of your life, or what you may have to sacrifice in order to be finally free.

You deserve to be happy, and frankly, so does your wife, who also appears to be miserable.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of four years refuses to come clean to me about his infidelity and cheating. I’ve given him countless chances to come forward, but he always denies it. I caught him with a girl who has been following us around the whole time we’ve been together.

Abby, I have done everything I could to get him to own up, but he doesn’t! What should I have done or what can I do so my life can move forward and I won’t have to worry about what he’s doing? I’m heartbroken and he doesn’t care.

-- TWO-TIMED IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR TWO-TIMED: As you stated, you have been deeply hurt by your boyfriend’s dishonesty, and he “doesn’t care” about your feelings.

He is who he is, and he isn’t going to change.

Obviously, one woman isn’t enough for him.

You have now wasted four precious years of your life -- time you will never get back -on a cheater who lies consistently. Isn’t that enough? Do what you should have done years ago and MOVE ON. DEAR ABBY: I am a fourth grade student who is, let’s say, good at math. I usually finish my math homework easily, but lately it’s been piling up. The problem is, my classmates ask me for help a lot. I enjoy helping them, but sometimes it’s hard to explain things, or I can’t find the time to get my own work done.

The teacher is usually doing a math group with other students, so my friends can’t ask her.

Should I fall behind by helping my friends or focus on my own work and risk hurting their feelings? -- STRESSED IN IDAHO DEAR STRESSED: You shouldn’t be helping your friends to the exclusion of your own work. It is important for your sake and your friends’ that you discuss this with your math teacher. She needs to know she should be devoting more attention to the students outside her math group who need further instruction instead of relying on you to do it. After your work is finished, lend a hand to the other students if you wish.

Pole vaulters lead Marshfield boys to victory The World Marshfield’s boys won the Marist Invitational track meet on Saturday, getting their best point production in the pole vault, an event the Pirates have excelled at over the years.

Jonathon Parks won the event for Marshfield, clearing 14 feet, while teammate Trent Summer was second, edging North Bend’s Brody Justice based on misses after both cleared 13-6. Marshfield’s Danner Wilson and Jack Waddington tied for fourth by clearing 12-6.

Parks also won the long jump for the Pirates with a leap of 20-3.

Marshfield finished with 122.5 points, to beat Siuslaw (113), Cottage Grove (102), Churchill (101) and North Bend (88) in the eight-school event.

The Bulldogs got their best production in the sprints.

North Bend’s Jason Padgett won the 100 meters in 11.69 and was second to teammate

John Efraimson in the 200, with Efraimson running 23.11 and Padgett 23.14. Siuslaw’s Hunter Petterson was third in the 200 (23.51) and second in the 100 (11.77).

Efraimson won the 400 in 51.82 for North Bend.

North Bend edged Marshfield in the 4x100 relay, the Bulldogs crossing the line in 44.92 and the Pirates in 44.97. Marshfield came out on top in the 4x400 relay in 3:35.62, with the Bulldogs finishing second in 3:40.58.

Siuslaw’s strength was in the distance races. Siuslaw’s Samuel Ulrich won the 800 (2:04.19), just ahead of Marshfield’s Ismael Rodriguez (2:04.31). Chad Hughes won the 1,500 (4:18.91) and 3,000 (9:28.42) for the Vikings.

Marshfield’s Matthew Allen was second in the discus (1293) and North Bend’s Keegan Young was second in the javelin (149-2).

Jack Waddington took second in the high jump for Marshfield,

clearing 5-8 (Cottage Grove’s Isaac Stere got over the bar at 6-2).

Host Marist Catholic won the girls meet with 132 points. Churchill had 110 and Marshfield 100.

North Bend was seventh (50) and Siuslaw eighth (43).

The Pirates had three different athletes win two events each.

Marshfield’s Bailey Wallack won the 200 (28.01) and 400 (1:03.29). Meanwhile, freshman Alie Clark won the long jump (15-5 ½) and triple jump (29-11 ¼). North Bend’s Lupita Trujillo was second in the latter event with a leap of 29-3.

Marshfield also had the top two finishers in the shot put — Daphne Scriven (31-11 ½) and Tori Cox (31-9). Scriven also won the discus (102-2) with Cox third (95-3).

Marshfield’s Keira Crawford was second in the high jump (4-8) behind Cottage Grove’s Gracie Arnold (4-10).

North Bend’s Roxy Day finished third in the pole vault

on misses after she and Junction City’s Elaina Deming and Danielle Amacher all cleared 8 feet, with Deming winning the event.

Both Marshfield and North Bend have meets this week heading up to Friday’s Coos County Meet, the oldest annual high school meet in Oregon.

Marshfield will be in Florence for a meet with the other Sky-Em League schools on Tuesday and North Bend hosts Willamette on Wednesday.

COOS COUNTY MEET The county meet on Friday brings in Coquille, Myrtle Point, Bandon and Powers, with them a number of top athletes who will challenge the Marshfield and North Bend squads.

The first field events will be at 4:30 p.m., with the running events starting at 5:30.

The boys sprints should be sensational with North Bend’s speedsters squaring off against Coquille’s Gunner Yates, among the fastest runners in the state.

Meanwhile, Bandon’s Ansen Converse has the county’s top times in the boys distance races and Bandon’s girls, led by Holly Hutton, and Myrtle Point’s Sarah Nicholson will highlight the distance events.

Bandon twins Hunter (pole vault) and Trevor Angove (high jump and triple jump) also are among the boys to watch, along with Coquille long jumper Brock Willis and North Bend triple jumper Drew Phillips. Myrtle Point’s Mason Detzler, Howard Blanton and Andreas Villanueva are among athletes to watch in the boys throws along with North Bend javelin thrower Keegan Young.

Coquille’s Trinidy Blanton could be a triple-winner in the 200, javelin and long jump and teammate Hailey Combie is among the top athletes in the shot put and discus. The Coquille trio of Emelia Wirebaugh, Willow Etienne and Reagan Krantz all have marks over 30 feet this year in the triple jump.

Coquille rallies past Toledo in last at bat

By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COQUILLE — Coquille’s baseball team has gotten off to a great start this season with a number of games with big offensive outputs.

The Red Devils got a different style of win in their Sunset Conference opener against visiting Toledo Thursday, coming from two runs down in the seventh to beat the Boomers 5-4.

“The kids ground it out,” coach Ken Martinez said. “Our bats started really cold. They kept fighting, kept battling to the end.”

He said the Red Devils are showing signs of growth, which was evident against the Boomers.

“The kids were just mentally strong,” he said. “The dugout got behind them.

“They know they can battle a whole seven innings.”

They needed to keep battling after struggling most of the game against Toledo starter Coren Loper, who struck out 13 batters and kept Coquille off the scoreboard until the sixth inning.

The Red Devils trailed 3-0 at that point after Toledo scored twice in the top of the sixth.

Bryce Poston had a one-out walk and Tony Florez hit a flare into center for a single that was misplayed into an error. Gage Martinez and Cameron Tyner followed with hits and Poston and Florez scored.

Toledo added a run in the seventh on a Coquille error to go up 4-2, but Canyon Luckman started the bottom half of the inning with a double for the Red Devils and scored when Levi Hoyle put down a bunt that led to an error. Hoyle scored on an error when he got caught in a rundown between third and home on an infield grounder by Andrew Matlock and Toledo’s catcher couldn’t hold onto the throw as he slid into the plate.

After two outs, Matlock scored the winning run when Gage Martinez hit a hard grounder that got through the infield, sparking a huge cele-

bration from Coquille’s squad.

Until the final two innings, the Red Devils didn’t get anything going against Loper, the only base runner Patrick Adams on a one-out single in the fifth.

Adams, meanwhile, stymied the Boomers for most of the first five innings after giving up a first-inning run. He struck out 10 and relievers Dean Tucker and Luckman got two more strikeouts in the seventh, with Luckman picking up the win in relief.

For Coquille, getting a win in the league opener was important for the team’s confidence and momentum, Ken Martinez said.

“This is huge,” he said, “From here on out, it’s huge.

“I think they’re on a pretty good high right now. (Hopefully) we can keep it going.”

The Red Devils improved to 6-1 with the win over Toledo, though they lost at Oakland 6-2 the next day.

They jump into the bulk of the league schedule this week, with games at Waldport on Tuesday and Bandon on Friday.

Along with Toledo, Bandon and Reedsport have been the top teams in the league in recent years.

ASHLAND SWEEPS BULLDOGS: North Bend was swept in its second Midwestern League doubleheader Saturday, when host Ashland beat the Bulldogs 10-0 and 12-2.

The Grizzlies improved to 4-0 in league play while North Bend fell to 0-4. The Bulldogs are at Springfield on Tuesday and host Eagle Point for a league doubleheader Saturday.

PIRATES SPLIT GAMES: Marshfield picked up a win and a loss against fellow South Coast squads last week.

The Pirates beat Reedsport on Wednesday 12-6 but came up short against Brookings-Harbor 8-2 on Friday. The Bruins are one of the state’s top Class 3A schools and also beat Bandon 8-2 on Wednesday in a game that was close for five innings before Brookings-Harbor pulled away late.

Marshfield hosts South Umpqua on Thursday and has a

doubleheader against Douglas at home on Saturday as its final tuneup before opening league play home against Cottage Grove on April 12.

SOFTBALL GRIZZLIES TOP BULLDOGS: Ashland swept visiting North Bend 13-2 and 19-9 in a Midwestern League doubleheader Saturday.

Sarah Shore had two hits and two RBIs in the second game and Emma Spalding and Hayden Napier also had two hits and drove in a run.

In the first game, Allison Burgmeier and Napier drove in North Bend’s two runs and Spalding, Shore, Napier and Mia Reynon all had hits.

Ashland improved to 3-1 in league and North Bend fell to 0-4 heading into a game Tuesday at Springfield. The Bulldogs host Eagle Point for a doubleheader Saturday.

New CDC data illuminates youth mental health threats during the COVID-19 pandemic New CDC analyses, published last week, shine additional light on the mental health of U.S. high school students during the COVID-19 pandemic, including a disproportionate level of threats that some students experienced.

According to the new data, in 2021, more than a third (37%) of high school students reported they experienced poor mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 44% reported they persistently felt sad or hopeless during the past year. The new analyses also describe some of the severe challenges youth encountered during the pandemic: More than half (55%) reported they experienced emotional abuse by a parent or other adult in the home, including swearing at, insulting, or putting down the student.

11% experienced physical abuse by a parent or other adult in the home, including hitting, beating, kicking, or physically hurting the student.

More than a quarter (29%) reported a parent or other adult in their home lost a job.

Before the pandemic, mental health was getting worse among high school students, according to prior CDC data.

“These data echo a cry for help,” said CDC Acting Principal Deputy Director Debra Houry, M.D., M.P.H. “The COVID-19

pandemic has created traumatic stressors that have the potential to further erode students’ mental wellbeing. Our research shows that surrounding youth with the proper support can reverse these trends and help our youth now and in the future.”

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth and female youth reported greater levels of poor mental health; emotional abuse by a parent or caregiver; and having attempted suicide than their counterparts.

In addition, over a third (36%) of students said they experienced racism before or during the COVID-19 pandemic. The highest levels were reported among Asian students (64%) and Black students and students of multiple races (both 55%). The survey cannot determine the extent to which events during the pandemic contributed to reported racism.

However, experiences of racism among youth have been linked to poor mental health, academic performance, and lifelong health risk behaviors.

School connectedness provided critical protection for students during COVID-19 Findings also highlight that a sense of being cared for, supported, and belonging at school — called “school connectedness” — had an important effect on students during a time of severe disruption. Youth

who felt connected to adults and peers at school were significantly less likely than those who did not to report persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness (35% vs. 53%); that they seriously considered attempting suicide (14% vs.

26%); or attempted suicide (6% vs. 12%). However, fewer than half (47%) of youth reported feeling close to people at school during the pandemic.

“School connectedness is a key to addressing youth adversities at all times – especially during times of severe disruptions,” said Kathleen A. Ethier, PhD, Director of CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health. “Students need our support now more than ever, whether by making sure that their schools are inclusive and safe or by providing opportunities to engage in their communities and be mentored by supportive adults.”

We all have a role to play to help youth recover from challenges during COVID-19 Youth with poor mental health may struggle with school and grades, decision making, and their health.

Mental health problems in youth are also often associated with other health and behavioral risks such as increased risk of drug use, experiencing violence, and higher risk sexual behaviors.

Schools are crucial partners in supporting the health and wellbeing of

students. In addition to education, they provide opportunities for academic, social, mental health, and physical health services that can help protect against negative outcomes.

Schools are facing unprecedented disruptions during the pandemic, however, and cannot address these complex challenges alone.

“In the face of adversity, support from schools, families, and communities protects adolescents from potentially devastating consequences,” said Jonathan Mermin, M.D., director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, CDC’s lead Center for monitoring and addressing school-based health. “These data tell us what works. So, what will it take for our schools and communities to help youth withstand the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond?”

More Information These data, released as an MMWR Surveillance Supplement, come from the Adolescent Behaviors and Experiences Survey (ABES), CDC’s first nationally representative survey of public- and private-school high school students to assess the well-being of U.S. youth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Funded through the

State Forester invites Oregonians to celebrate Arbor Month during all of April Oregon’s new State Forester Calvin Mukumoto thinks a single day or single week is not long enough time to recognize all the great things trees do for people. So he’s asking Oregonians to join him in celebrating all of April as Oregon Arbor Month.

For the second year in a row Gov. Kate Brown has officially extended by proclamation the period Oregon devotes to recognizing its billions of trees from the first week in April to the entire month.

“Optimal tree-planting weather in eastern Oregon and at higher elevations may not be until the latter half of April, whereas tree planting generally concludes west of the Cascades by mid-April,” said Mukumoto. “Now communities on both sides of the state can schedule their tree events under the same umbrella of Arbor Month.”

Mukumoto points out that last summer’s record-shattering heat wave in Oregon reminded everyone of the vital role the state’s urban and rural forests play in buffering people from climate change impacts. “Trees cool their surroundings through shade and by

releasing water vapor into the air, potentially saving lives and reducing energy use during extreme heat events,” said Mukumoto.

More Oregonians than ever during the pandemic have come to appreciate the trees near where they live. Many people worked from home, homeschooled their children or limited their travel to local parks and nearby forests. “We’ve relied more heavily than ever on these tree-filled spaces as places of respite, joy, spiritual renewal, exercise, and social interaction,” said Mukumoto. “In addition to their importance to our state’s economy, trees are known to have a positive impact on mental health and community resilience.”

Trees are not evenly distributed in cities and towns, with higher-income areas tending to have more trees and parkland. Historic and ongoing inequities have kept lower-income people, people of color, and other vulnerable or marginalized groups from sharing equally in the many benefits provided by trees. “By planting and caring for trees in underserved areas, we can help address this injustice

and spread the benefits communitywide,” said Mukumoto.

In addition to joining tree plantings, Mukumoto suggests people find other fun, tree-related activities to enjoy during April.

“Whether by yourself or with family and friends, read a book about trees.

My favorite is one I use to identify Pacific Northwest trees. You can visit a park or arboretum and observe closely the leaves, flowers and bark, the aromas and textures. Just being around

Obituaries Ken Scott June 10, 1932 – January 1 2022

Ken Scott was born on June 10, 1932 in Southgate, California and passed away on January 1, 2022 in Coos Bay, Oregon. His family moved to Texas when he was two years old. They moved to Coos Bay in 1948 when he was a freshman in High School. He married Mary Sue Freeman on April 21, 1957. He lived the last 53 years of his life in the Englewood area of Coos Bay. Ken and Mary Sue had 4 children: Scotty and wife Lynn Scott; Suzan and husband Lloyd Flora; Sam and wife Karen Scott; Sean and wife Leah Scott. They had 9 grandchildren (Ty, Whitney, Tav, Bo, Taylor, Makenzie, Tori, Kelsey and Tracee) and 4 great grandchildren (Lily, Bobby, Emmanuel and Felix).

Ken was a 3-year starter on Marshfield’s football team in 1948, 1949 and 1950. He was a 2-year letterman on their basketball team. He graduated from Marshfield High School in 1951. Upon graduating from High School, he entered the Army where he spent the next 3 years serving our country. When the Army finally had enough of him, he came back to Coos Bay and worked for Sunset Music Company. He drove a race car, that he affectionately called ‘Rocket 88’ for a couple years at Laping’s Racetrack and he also owned and flew his own airplane.

After working at Sunset Music, he ventured into construction where he began working for Bill Ring. He later went out on his own and did a lot of remodeling for Stan McSwain and the Egyptian Theatre. He was well known for his talent for woodworking. He was a master cabinet builder and specialized in kitchen cabinetry and counter tops.

During his later years, he could be found in his wood shop working on cutting boards, napkin holders, flag frames and coasters. He mostly used Myrtlewood as his wood of choice and made these items so he could give them away. He claimed that he specialized in making “sawdust and noise”.

When he wasn’t in his shop working, he could usually be found at his second job as Assistant Athletic Director at Marshfield High School. He was kept busy making the gymnasium’s score table, picture frames in the lobby for the student athletes, steps for the bleachers and a top notched Media Row that was kept full at the 3A and 4A basketball tournaments. It was recently dedicated as the “Ken Scott Memorial Press Row” during the 3A basketball tournament.

In his spare time, he enjoyed playing pinochle with old MHS alumni John and Rosalie Johnson and Wanda Kenyon. Reminiscing of the “good old days” was always part of their conversations.

“It can also be fun to take a camera or sketchpad when viewing trees and photograph or draw what you see. Or write a poem about a special tree or grove of trees.

PET LOST AND FOUND Adopt Me!

WE CLEARLY

LOVE OUR PETS Breed:

Breed: Domestic Shorthair

Alaskan Malamute & Great Pyrenees Mix

Age/Gender:

Buck

1 year, Male

Buck is sweet and loving, doesn’t chase chickens or ducks, is not food aggressive, plays well with other dogs, does well on a leash, and does not get on furniture unless told he can. He doesn’t respond well to his name and cannot be left alone for more than a few hours or he has an accident. He doesn’t know basic commands yet, and would do best with just one other playful dog in the household, as he needs lots of attention.

Call: 541-269-1989 • Email: foccas@coosanimals.org

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.

Adopt Me!

Age/Gender: 3 Years, Female

Mitzy

The original owner of Mitzy, and her daughter Mittens, is very ill and can no longer care for them. They are scared out of their little cat minds right now, just like a lot of other cat here in Kohl’s Cat House.

Please adopt, and save a life, if not two. Indoor only homes, as they cannot survive outside on their own. Mitzy will need a quiet home, with owners able to provide lots of patience and love.

Call: (541)-294-3876 • Visit: kohlscats.info
