Sheriff’s office seeks help in identifying robbery suspects By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Coos County Sheriff’s Office is asking the public for help in identifying two men who committed an armed robbery on the outskirts of Bandon. According to Capt. Gabriel Fabrizio, the men went to a residence on Stock Still Lane On Tuesday, April 5. Around 8:20 p.m., a man who was described a being 6-0 and 200 pounds who was wearing a white hard hat, reflective vest and back mask approached the

owner of the home on Stock Still Lane. The home owner also reported seeing a second man dressed the same way. The second man was described as being much smaller. When the first man approached the homeowner, the two had a conversation at the front door. When the resident attempted to close the door, the suspect lifted up his shirt and pulled out a handgun. Fabrizio said the gun was likely a blue .45 auto. The suspect held the gun to the homeown-

er’s head and demanded cash. The resident complied and gave all the money he had. The suspect then took the home phone to prevent any phone calls and walked away. He was last seen getting into a vehicle, which headed west on Seven Devils Road. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office and the Bandon Police Department searched the area for the vehicle and the two men but were unable to find anything. Fabrizio said if anyone has any information that could help identify the two men involved, they are asked to call 541-396-2106.

Workers from Against the Grain Roofing work to replace the roof on Linda Talbert’s home in Coos Bay. An Army veteran, Talbert received the roof from Operation Rebuild Hope.

A new roof thanks to military service By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

When Linda Talbert joined the Army in 1972, she never imagined how it would impact her life decades later. In fact, Talbert joined the Army for the simplest reason imaginable. “To get away from home,” she said with a laugh. “That’s the truth.” For three years, Talbert served

as a clerk in the Army before getting out and beginning a venture that took her to Las Vegas and eventually in 2004, to Coos Bay. In 2004, she purchased a small home on North 14th Street and one of the first things she did was pay to put a 30-year roof on it. Since then, she has enjoyed her home, spending a lot of time outdoors gardening and with her dog, Precious. Several years ago, Talbert decided she wanted to enclose

her front and back porches, so she hired a local man to do the work. Using most of her savings, she paid up front and the man went to work, enclosing the back porch with walls and a roof. The same work was scheduled in the front yard, when problems began to arise. First, the back porch collapsed due to poor craftsmanship and later, the city of Coos Bay shut down the project because the man never received permits to do

work. When the porch collapsed and Talbert was forced to have the construction in the front removed, it damaged her roof more than she could have imagined. Three years ago, Talbert noticed when it rained water was leaking into her home. Over time, the leaks got worse. “It started to rain on the inside of here,” Talbert said, pointing to the front wall of her home. “It Please see NEW ROOF, Page A2

Merkley holds 500th town hall

U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley addresses a crowd during a town hall in Coos County. The senator recently held his 500th town hall since being elected.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley held his 500th town hall Tuesday, April 5, in a virtual town hall for Lincoln County. Topics included plastic pollution, fossil fuels and affordable housing. Merkley said it is estimated that we consume a credit card worth of plastic a week. Plastics are either burned, buried or put out to sea. He said we must tackle this issue from many angles. On the coast, people see plastic all the time. It is produced primarily from methane, Merkley added. “It has a massive impact on climate change through global warming,” Merkley said. The plastic industry is very strong and Merkley said he will keep at it. “The oil companies are making massive amounts of money,” Merkley said when the issue of fossil fuels came up. “The report for 2021 was the American oil companies make $209 billion in net profits.” Merkley said he is working in partnership with U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, among others, on The Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax, proposed by Whitehouse.

The bill would cut a check for everyone in response to inflation and rising gas prices. The response to the high cost of fossil fuels is to end our addiction to fossil fuels, Merkley added. “The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the methane in the atmosphere continue to go up,” Merkley said. Merkley believes deploying renewable energy is the solution. An average solar panel produces about a quart of gasoline a day. “We have to make sure offshore wind is pursued in the context of dialogue with stakeholders but particularly the fishing community,” Merkley said. Housing was what made Merkley want to run for office. Middle class America cannot afford to buy a house right now. There is not a single town hall that he has held that has not addressed housing. A lot of housing on the coast is tied up with vacation homes. In closing comments, Merkley said the war in Ukraine is an absolute tragedy and Russia is now a dictatorship under President Vladimir Putin. “Let’s make our democracy work better,” Merkley said.

Coos Bay to wait on new taxi ordinance By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

After questions were raised about a proposed ordinance regulating vehicles for hire in Coos Bay, the city council chose to wait a little while before voting on an ordinance. The council was considering the ordinance that would allow companies like Uber and Lyft to operate in the city, but the former and current owners of Yellow Cab questioned whether the ordinance was strict enough to protect the community. Current Yellow Cab owner Jeremy Oliver told the council the parts of the ordinance related to drug and alcohol screenings as well as vehicle safety might not be strict enough. “The drug and alcohol policies with the proposed replacement is addressed only by a company simply creating a zero-tolerance policy for drivers while providing for hire services. Where is the enforcement? How does anyone know that any driver is impaired or not? “ Oliver then asked about vehicle safety requirements. “Vehicles are not addressed properly in the replacement ordinance,” Oliver said. “Vehicles in the existing ordinance require an annual safety inspection by a city approved facility. If we move to the proposed ordinance, how will the public know the vehicles being used by any vehicle for hire company is safe to transport the public?” Police Chief Chris Chapanar said sections of the ordinance related to both issues were changed or removed, in part because the city was not enforcing the current ordinance. He added that since vehicles have to be registered and insured, they would have to be safe to drive. Chapanar told the council the existing taxi ordinance was last updated in 2001. Since that time, the vehicle-for-hire industry has evolved greatly, with companies like Uber and Lyft moving in to the industry. “In an effort to keep up with modern times 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.” There are insurance requirements to protect the owners and 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 one can store in a residential neighborhood.” The ordinance permits the city to conduct criminal background investigations on drivers, which includes searches going back seven years. The ordinance also allows no more than one vehicle to be parked or stored at a home in a residential area, and only one business license will be issued per address. “That’s to protect the residential neighborhoods where they don’t become a storage yard for vehicles for hire,” Chapanar said.

wasn’t flooding or anything, but it got wet inside.” With most of her money gone due to the failed porch project, Talbert tried to find help, mostly to no avail. She finally turned to the VA to see if something could be done to help a vet. “I’m a vet and I went where vets go to get help,” Talbert said. “They gave me Operation Rebuild Hope’s name, and I contacted them.” The North Bend nonprofit, Operation Rebuild Hope has a mission of helping veterans facing homeless-

ness. While Talbert had a home, her failing roof was putting her at risk of losing it. After working with Talbert for close to a year, Operation Rebuild Hope decided to replace her roof, and last week, workers with Against the Grain Roofing showed up to do the work. “It’s been a heck of a year,” Talbert said Thursday. “It’s been raining in my house.” As she and Precious watched the workers Thursday, Talbert said she appreciated what Operation Rebuild Hope has done. “I’m grateful for the help,” Talbert said. “I spent all my money doing this (the porch). So I had to

get help. I didn’t want to get help, but I had to.” And Talbert said the workers with Against the Grain Roofing have been amazing. “These guys doing the roof are so nice,” she said. “They are doing things they don’t have to do.” With her finished roof just days away, Talbert said she was thrilled to get her home back. “Happy, happy, happy,” she said when asked how she feels. “I feel so much better.” Talbert said serving in the Army in the 1970s was a great choice, even if it had never led to a new roof. “It’s impacted my life altogether,” she said.

During the early morning hours of April 2, Reedsport officers BradLee Davis and Chris Sparks conducted a traffic stop on a white 2005 Toyota Sequoia on Highway 38 at Third Avenue. During the course of this traffic stop, Davis and Sparks were able to develop reasonable suspicion for the presence of illicit narcotics within the vehicle. Based off this suspicion, Reedsport K-9 Officer Penny and her handler, Corporal Brent Snyder, were asked to respond to the scene. This team conducted an open air sniff of the vehicle which resulted in a positive alert for the presence of narcotics. Davis and Sparks detained the sole occupant of the

Toyota while Snyder applied for a warrant to search the vehicle. After obtaining the warrant, Davis and Sparks located and seized from within the vehicle, 30 grams of heroin, 20 grams of cocaine, approximately 500 fentanyl laced counterfeit oxycodone tablets and approximately 1.25 pounds of methamphetamine. The seizure has an estimated street value of over $10,000. The operator of the vehicle, identified as Jesse Coleman Spencer, of Eugene, was subsequently arrested and charged with multiple drug related felonies. Additionally, the 2005 Toyota Sequoia was seized as it was utilized in the delivery of illicit narcotics.

Letters to the Editor Blessing in disguise Can you believe the meat price increases predicted by USDA Economic Research Service? 15% for red meat and 11% for fish and eggs! Way over the predicted 8% inflation rate, already the highest in four decades. The obvious solution recommended by nutritionists – fresh vegetables. They contain all the nutrients required for healthy living and no saturated fats, cholesterol, hormones, and antibiotics loaded in animal products. They do contain complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals. They offer vastly reduced risk of contracting heart disease, stroke, some cancers, diabetes, and obesity. Fresh vegetables are going up only 4.3% - way below the 8% inflation rate. But there is more… A University of Michigan research report found that replacing 50% of animal products with plant-based foods would prevent more than 1.6 billion tons of greenhouse gasses by 2030 President Biden’s target date for a 50% reduction in emissions. In an environmentally sustainable world, we need to replace meat and other animal products with vegetables, fruits, and grains, just as we replace fossil fuels with wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources. This outrageous meat price increase may be our blessing in disguise. Carson Barnes Coos Bay

Thank you Jerry People who write to the public forum often have a gripe about something. They find fault with just about anything and everything from potholes to politics. I want to do neither. I am simply writing to express my sincere appreciation for the 70 years that Gerald (Jerry) Phillips dedicated his life to the practice of forestry here in southwestern Oregon. We lost a real icon in our industry and the community at large when Jerry recently died at age 94. I feel fortunate to have known him for these past 50 years. Jerry was articulate and passionate about his beloved Elliott State Forest for which he managed brilliantly for decades. He understood what the forest meant to the school children of our state and the community dependent upon the resources it provided. It was a real pleasure sitting on his living room couch and listening to him reminisce about the olden days when he was a young forester developing management plans for the Elliott. He saw things many of us did not. He appreciated what others were doing in support of our community. Even our politicians recognized Jerry when they set aside a parcel of trees within the bounds of the Elliott dedicated to his visions. I will miss him. Bill Lansing North Bend

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ENDS LONGTIME FRIENDSHIPS

DEAR ABBY: The pandemic has put a strain on relationships. Last year, I lost my best friend of 40 years over the COVID vaccines. I believe the vaccine helps to keep me safe, as well as helps my family and friends. This friend decided he and his family would not take the jab. He quit his job rather than get vaccinated. This caused a rift so wide that, in his eyes, he and his family could not continue being friends with our family. I’m sad about it. The big problem my wife and I are contending with concerns our 8-year-old daughter. She has been best friends with my (former) best friend’s daughter since birth. There have been eight years of sleepovers, birthdays, park visits, get-togethers and everything in between. We haven’t seen them in six months. We can’t keep telling our daughter the pandemic is the reason she can’t see her best friend. This situation is so simple and so complicated. What do I tell my daughter about her best friend? -VICTIM OF THE TIMES DEAR VICTIM: Tell your daughter the truth -- that her friend’s parents will no longer allow it. Then explain why. That way she won’t think that this is in any way her fault. DEAR ABBY: I was recently contacted by my graduating class to help organize a reunion. Since then, one of the organizers has decided that our committee is an inseparable trio who must get together regularly by Zoom and occasionally in person. We were not in touch before the reunion and we have little in common, but I can tell she’s lonely, so I’ve indulged her so far. However, she now wants to convene periodically for long weekends at a nearby inn. I do not want to leave my spouse for long weekends or spend money and time on a person whom I don’t care to

befriend. When I’ve tried to demur with “unavailability” excuses, she insists we are a trio and we simply will wait a few weeks until I can find an open date. I don’t want to be rude, but I can’t figure out how to politely tell her that I have no interest in accepting her suggestions for an extended slumber party. How should I handle this? -RELUCTANT ALUMNA IN THE WEST DEAR ALUMNA: Handle it by being frank with this needy individual. Tell her, “This isn’t going to happen. I do not wish to leave my husband for a weekend. I don’t mind helping with the reunion, but your demands on my time have increased to the point where they are too much for me.” DEAR ABBY: The season of pleasant weather and outdoor concerts is approaching. Invariably, we end up sitting by the chatterboxes. These folks seem oblivious to anyone else, including the performers and the rest of us who want to enjoy the performance. I realize these are free concerts, but I don’t want to have to listen to these rude people. Any suggestions for silencing them so we can hear what the rest of us came for? -DISGUSTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR DISGUSTED: Keep your tone civil. You might ask, “Would you please talk more quietly? We are trying to enjoy the performance.” However, if they aren’t receptive to your suggestion, consider moving as far away from them as possible. ----------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

International medical graduates ease the U.S. doctor shortage By DR. G RICHARD OLDS

Thousands of young doctors recently learned where they’ll be spending the next few years of their lives in residency. A significant number of them will be U.S. citizens who completed medical school abroad. This corps of internationally educated doctors has become increasingly important to the U.S. healthcare system -- and is tackling a disproportionate share of America’s biggest healthcare challenges. The United States desperately needs doctors. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, we could face a deficit of up to 124,000 physicians by 2034. The shortfall could cost as many as 7,000 lives a year. This looming doctor shortage is in part the product of an aging workforce. Two in five doctors practicing today will reach retirement age in the next 10 years. City dwellers and high-income patients might not feel the impact of the shortage. But the story is different in rural America. More than 130 hospitals in rural areas have closed since 2010. More than 4,200 rural communities are experiencing a

shortage of health workers. Zip codes with disproportionate shares of racial and ethnic minorities also tend to lack adequate access to doctors. Black and Latino Americans are roughly twice as likely as their white peers to live in areas with few or no primary care providers. International medical graduates tend to be the ones who head to high-need communities like these. They account for more than two-thirds of doctors in areas of the United States with high populations of ethnic and racial minorities. International medical graduates also gravitate to specialties in high demand. They account for more than half of doctors in geriatrics, where the shortage is yawning as the population ages. IMGs likewise account for outsized shares of the endocrinology, oncology, and cardiology workforces. Nearly one-third of psychiatrists are graduates of international medical schools. In the wake of the pandemic, the country will need many more of these mental health professionals to help people navigate the fallout. More than half of U.S. counties don’t have a practicing psychiatrist. As of last year, about

122 million Americans -- more than a third of the population -lived in areas with shortages of mental health professionals. Perhaps the most dangerous doctor shortage we face is in primary care. By 2034, the Association of American Medical Colleges projects that the United States will be short as many as 48,000 primary care docs. More than one thousand counties already lack enough primary care physicians to meet demand. International medical graduates are likely to be the ones to narrow that gap, too. Seventy percent of our medical graduates from St. George’s University in Grenada go on to pursue careers in primary care, many of them in underserved areas. This year on Match Day, thousands of students from international medical schools moved a step closer to their future, shaping America’s future in the process. The country needs these budding doctors to help alleviate the doctor shortage, no matter the specialty or zip code. Dr. G. Richard Olds is president of St George’s University (www.sgu.edu).

There Is No Free Speech Without Bothsidesism By AARON ALEXANDER ZUBIA InsideSources.com

Eighty-four percent of American adults say it is a “very serious” or “somewhat serious” problem that Americans are refraining from speaking freely because of “fear of retaliation or harsh criticism.” The New York Times Editorial Board cited this study, commissioned with Siena College, along with a statement defending freedom of speech as “vital” for the “search for truth and knowledge.” When the board did so, critics balked. Several journalists condemned the New York Times for endorsing “bothsidesism.” What is “bothsidesism”? The word is a recent addition to our cultural lexicon. It refers to the journalistic practice of presenting both sides of an argument. The alleged problem with this practice is that it tends to bestow on controversial views an intellectual or moral credibility they otherwise would not have. According to one writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the “disease of bothsidesism” is evident in the Times case because it advertises a false equivalence. It places equal blame on both the political left and on the political right for promoting an environment hostile to open discourse. In other words, progressive critics of “bothsidesism” argue that cancel culture on the left poses far less of a danger to free speech than attempts in right-leaning state legislatures to determine, by law, what can and cannot be taught in K-12 classrooms and public universities. A City University of New York professor calls this bothsidesism “appalling” because “it equates the left criticizing hate and the right burning books.” The opposite of bothsidesism, of course, is onesideism. And that is what journalists are doing when they habitually exculpate one political party and charge another with all that ails the country. It is certainly easier to congregate with like-minded people to dwell within, and speak within, our own echo chambers, so that our favored views go unchallenged. There is, however, no free speech without bothsidesism. There is no genuine public political discourse without bothsidesism. If we want to cultivate healthy civil discourse and make strides toward truth, we must practice bothsidesism. The ancient skeptics can help us understand why this is the case. The Academic skeptics, who were followers of Socrates, did not shy away from the hard work of engaging in for-and-against argumentation for the sake of finding views that, if not true, at least resemble truth and serve as suitable guides for thought and action. The Academic skeptics practiced bothsidesism for the sake of intellectual integrity and freedom from falsehood.

“It is our practice to say what we think against every position,” the Roman philosopher Cicero maintained. And the reason for this is simple: “We want to discover truth.” The early modern French skeptic Pierre Bayle differentiated between philosophers who acted as reporters and those who acted as advocates. The advocate hides the weakness of his view and the strength of his opponents view. The reporter, meanwhile, represents “the strong and the weak arguments of the two opposite parties faithfully, and without any partiality.” Bayle thought the philosopher, like the historian, should act as a reporter. And this would seem to apply to journalists, too. To the extent that the reporter advocates a cause, it should occur after one has laid out the arguments for the reader and sided with the one that seems most persuasive. This method, while not guaranteeing impartiality, at least promotes the kind of intellectual modesty and integrity necessary for good-faith public deliberation. The 18th-century British philosopher David Hume was an admirer of both Bayle and Cicero. He weighed pros and cons of the party positions of the Whigs and the Tories — the parties of his day. He thought this approach would “teach us a lesson of moderation in all our political controversies.” Through the practice of for-and-against argumentation, we might improve our own thinking and cultivate the art of discernment. That is one advantage of the liberal arts, which Hume argued “softens and humanizes the temper.” As the ancient Roman poet Ovid remarked: “A faithful study of the liberal arts humanizes character and permits it not to be cruel.” The attempt to silence political opponents has an element of cruelty about it and it certainly dehumanizes ourselves and our political enemies. Universities, formerly bastions for the study of liberal arts, now tend to prioritize political advocacy over sound political judgment. And this has produced the kind of self-righteous zeal that has flooded journalistic outlets and that has damaged the quality of public political debate. In the Tocqueville Program at Furman University, we strive, as Tocqueville did, “to see, not differently, but further than the parties.” This calls for the practice of bothsidesism, a prerequisite of citizenship in a democratic republic, no matter how unpopular it may seem at the moment. Onesideism, on the other hand, is a formula for stifling speech, not encouraging it. ABOUT THE WRITER Aaron Alexander Zubia is a postdoctoral fellow in the Tocqueville Program at Furman University. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

Coquille girls, Marshfield boys win county titles By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COOS BAY — Coquille feels it has a chance to place well at the Class 2A girls state track meet later this spring. The Red Devils showed why during the Coos County Meet, when they won the team title for the first time in a number of years. Host Marshfield took the boys title on a night that saw some standout performances by a number of different athletes in the oldest continuously held annual high school track meet in the state. Coquille’s girls only won three events Friday night, and one athlete took all three of those titles, but the Red Devils had runners-up in five events and six more third-places while amassing 132 points. North Bend had 112, Bandon 108 and Marshfield 96. The boys scoring wasn’t nearly so balanced, with Marshfield scoring 190 points, North Bend 153.5, Coquille 65 and Myrtle Point 59. Coquille’s girls were led by Trinidy Blanton, who had an off night by her standards in two of her three events, but still won all three. The junior took the 200 meters in 27.62 seconds and had a leap of 15 feet, 10 ½ inches to easily win the long jump. She wasn’t thrilled with either of those events, but after her final long jump, uncorked a new personal best throw of 125-7 to win the javelin, which ended her night on a good note. “I’m happy I PRed in at least one event,” she said, adding that she is moving closer to her goal of throwing 130 feet. As for the 200, Blanton said, “I felt I could have finished stronger” and in the long jump added “my steps were really, really off.” She was a foot short of her personal best in the latter event, but didn’t hit the take-off board squarely on any of her six attempts. Blanton was more excited about the effort of her team. “I think every team’s dream is to win the state championship,” she said, adding that Coquille likes its chances to place well with the variety of athletes who could place high if they keep improving. The team title in the county meet will help. “Winning helps everybody’s confidence,” Blanton said. Coquille’s Hailey Combie was second in both the shot put and discus while Callie Millett was second to Blanton in the javelin and Reagan Krantz was second in the pole vault. The Red Devils also finished second in the 4x100 relay behind Bandon after both North Bend and Marshfield were disqualified for passing the baton out of the exchange zone. Melanie Lambson for Coquille was third in both the 100 and long jump and Emelia Wirebaugh was third in both the triple jump and 400.

North Bend tops Thurston in girls tennis The World North Bend’s girls tennis team beat Thurston 6-2 after playing to a 4-4 tie with Willamette earlier in the week. Against Thurston, the Bulldogs got dominant wins in the top two singles spots, with Adrianna Frank winning 6-0, 6-0 and Olivia Knutson winning 6-1, 6-1. North Bend swept the doubles matches with the teams of Emily and Maddie West, Trinity Barker and Haley Reeves, Abigail Harper and Kristina Jegleim, and Lauren Hayes and Sierah Martin. In the match against Willamette, Fran and Knutson both again had easy wins and Ana Mesa won at No. 3 singles for the Bulldogs. Their only doubles win came by the No. 4 pairing of Hayes and Martin, but all three other doubles pairs came close to victories. Both the teams of West and West and Reeves and Barker lost matches that went to third sets and Haper and Jegleim lost two sets that went to tiebreakers, falling by two points in each

tiebreaker (8-6 and 7-5). North Bend’s boys fell to Willamette 3-0. The Bulldogs’ Kade Spini and Beau Parrott lost singles matches and Orion Truong and Matthew Richards fell in doubles. Against Thurston, North Bend lost 2-0, with Spini dropping a singles match that went to a third set and Parrett and Richards falling in doubles. SOFTBALL BULLDOGS DROP PAIR: North Bend had a second-game comeback end just short and was swept by visiting Eagle Point 13-8 and 16-14. In the nightcap, the Bulldogs scored seven runs in the sixth inning, but couldn’t complete the rally. “Our young and ever changing roster is improving,” North Bend coach John Olson said. “We just need to believe we can get over the hump. “My competitive side is frustrated with the losses realizing we could have won both games by cleaning up mistakes but my coaching side is very proud of how much each lady is improving.” In the first game Saturday,

Sarah Shore had four runs and Emma Spalding had four hits. Sabrina Moore and Mia Reynon each had two RBIs. In the nightcap, Ally Burgmeier had three hits and two RBIs and Riley Samora had two hits and drove in two. For the doubleheader, Spalding had five hits and Reynon four.

North Bend improved to 1-5 in league play with the win. Its midweek victory over Springfield a few days earlier was considered a nonleague contest, as are upcoming Tuesday dates at North Eugene this week and at home against Thurston (April 19) and Churchill (April 26). The Bulldogs are at Churchill for a league doubleheader Saturday. BANDON BEATS COQUILLE: Bandon is alone in first place in the Sunset Conference after topping Coquille 7-4 on Friday.

Tuesday and hosts Siletz Valley on Friday. REEDSPORT WINS: Reedsport got its first league win, topping Siletz Valley 25-3 on Friday.

Obituaries James G. “Jerry” Phillips

Kathleen “Cassie” Schroeder

May 3, 1927 - March 21, 2022

September 13, 1950 – March 9, 2022

Jerry was born May 3, 1927, in Portland, Oregon, to James and Georgia Phillips, and died March 21, 2022. He finished high school in Portland in the spring of 1945, graduating from Franklin High School. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps and served until discharged in the fall of 1946. He then enrolled in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University, graduating in the spring of 1950. Jerry met LaRose Bowman there at Oregon State College and they married on June 18, 1950 in Corvallis. In Early 1952 they moved to Coos Bay, where Jerry went to work for the Oregon State Department of Forestry, where he remained for another 37 years. He became Manager of the Elliott State Forest for nearly 20 years, retiring in June of 1989. In March of 2019, Jerry was honored by the State of Oregon legislature with the naming of 50 acres of old growth timber as The Jerry Phillips Reserve on the Elliott State Forest, in honor of his dedication to and stewardship of these public lands.

Jerry and LaRose were blessed with 60 years of marriage and five children. Their church affiliations included The First Methodist Church in Coos Bay where they and their children attended. Then, for many years, the Hauser Community Church, and then the Shoreline Community Church, having many friends in these fellowships. Jerry was preceded in death by his wife, LaRose in 2010 and his oldest son, Mark Phillips in 2020. Jerry served for 35 years on the Coos County Planning Commission, was a member of the Society of American Foresters for more than 65 years, served on the Board of Trustees of the Coos Historical and Maritime Center, was a member of the Rivermen’s Club, and served as a volunteer driver for the VA and DAV. One of his favorite volunteer activities was that of reading with young children in local schools with the SMART program. Jerry was also the author of several published books, including his memoir on the Elliott State Forest titled, “Caulked Boots

and Cheese Sandwiches,” which tells the history of the Elliott State Forest and his experience working there as a forester. He was instrumental in making land trades which resulted successfully in the Elk Preserve outside Reedsport, which thousands of Oregonians enjoy annually. His interests, when not working on the Elliott State Forest, included traveling, reading historical novels, writing letters to friends and family, driving, family history, camping, hiking, spending time with his grandchildren, participating in Bible study groups, and helping others anyway he could. He also loved to sing, and found joy in studying the origins of words. He is survived by his children; daughter, Sally Baird-Scott of Coos Bay and sons, Lee Phillips of Oregon City, OR, Bart Phillips of LaCenter, WA and Kirk Phillips of Lebanon, OR and their families. Jerry had ten grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. He is also survived by his brothers, Dick Phillips of Medford, OR and Greg

Phillips of Weston, OR. Special acknowledgement of granddaughter, Shasta Hernandez, who lives locally and added a great deal of joy to his life. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2022 at 2:00 pm at Harmony United Methodist Church, 123 Ocean Blvd SE, Coos Bay, OR 97420. The service will also be live streamed on Harmony UMC Facebook page, https://m.facebook.com/ HarmonyUMCOregon. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to UNICEF or the Forestry Scholarship at North Bend High School.

Kathleen “Cassie” Marie Risinger Schroeder, 71, known as ‘Mimi’ to her family, passed away peacefully on March 9, 2022, at her residence in Florence, Arizona. Kathleen was born September 13, 1950, in Del Norte, Colorado, to Hughey Glen Risinger and Thelma Jane Tyson. She was a 1968 graduate of Pagosa Springs High School in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. After owning a gift shop and starting a family in Colorado, Cassie eventually relocated to Arizona. She became a paralegal, worked and played golf as a hobby. She married Stephen Schroeder in 1995 and they purchased a home along the Umpqua River in Scottsburg, Oregon, and resided there for many years. While Steve often worked in Alaska, Cassie was an active member of the local community in Oregon and enjoyed quilting with her friends, attending church, fishing/ crabbing, cooking and gardening. They loved their little dogs, Murphy and Molly. In 2014, the couple moved back to Arizona to be closer to family and Steve passed away within a year. Cassie then lived with her beloved dog, Gracie Boo. She liked history and politics (she was a Daughters of the American Revolution

National Society member), as well as watching the birds, desert animals and blossoming fruit trees in her backyard. Cassie is preceded in death by her husband, Stephen Schroeder; her parents; one sister; and two brothers. Survivors include children, Robbi Lord and David (Sara) Lord from her first marriage to Robert Lord; former daughter in law, Kelly (Coulter) Lord; three grandchildren; two step-grandchildren; niece, Danita Risinger Shulman; and Cassie’s loving canine companion, Gracie. At her request, no funeral services will be held. A celebration to honor Cassie’s life will take place at a later date, along with a private waterside scattering ceremony. In her memory, donations can made to a local animal shelter or canine companion program, as Cassie had such a special place in her heart for animals, especially small dogs.

Tipper

10 Years, Unknown

Tavie

Tipper came to Coos County Animal Shelter as a police impound for Killing Livestock. He has been here for months and is exhibiting protective tendencies known as kennel aggression. Once out of his kennel he turns into a happy playful dog. He is selective on dogs he likes and gets along mostly with females. He has been around cats and children but the best home for him will be with someone who has time to dedicate to him without other animals and kids.

Tavie is one of eleven who came into the cat house four years ago. He and the others were altered at our Snipped clinic but we haven’t been able to put their paperwork in order to see who is male/female. Even now that they are older, it is hard to get close enough to look. We have a wonderful volunteer that calls them by name and gives them treats, so it won’t be long before they are friendlier. Hopefully soon they will be able to be picked up!

The chief told the council that Coos Bay worked closely with North Bend to develop the ordinance, with the goal of having similar ordinance approved in each city. During the public hearing, Dick Leshley, the former owner of Yellow Cab, said the new ordinance was an improvement, but fell short in public safety. He said there was a lack of enforcement for drug and alcohol testing. “More than 20 years ago, we found out if you operate a cab company you don’t have to report a positive drug test. You don’t have to get rid of anyone” Leshley said. “We drug screen every 30 days. We have a drug screen and it’s automatic.” Leshley said when Yellow Cab began doing drug screens in the mid ‘90s, his company lost 35% of its employees. That alone proves the need to verify drivers are drug and alcohol free, he said. “All we need to do is add to those sections the company will be required to send to the city, at no cost to the city, the results of their drug screens and vehicle inspections,” Leshley said. “I would really like to slow this down a little bit. We don’t have a problem with this. Competition is good.” City Manager Rodger Craddock told the council they could do two things approve the ordinance as written and make changes in the future or wait two meetings and consider an amended ordinance. “I’m in favor of moving forward with this,” Mayor Joe Benetti said. “There are a few points brought up by Jeremy and Dick that probably need to be changed. There are a few details they brought up that we probably do need to change and we can bring it up.” After some discussion, the council took no action, asking city staff to make the changes and bring the ordinance back to the council for approval.
