Manslaughter suspect arrested in routine traffic stop

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

A routine traffic stop Friday in Reedsport led to the arrest of a man wanted for manslaughter in Coos County and the seizure of more than a pound of illicit drugs.

The Reedsport Police Department reported Corporal Brent Snyder conducted a traffic stop at 5:33 p.m. Friday near the intersection of Highway 101 and 22nd Street.

Snyder was able to stop the 2005 Acura Sedan with no issues and was joined at the scene by Oregon State Police trooper Kenneth Napper and Reedsport officer Michel Snyder.

While speaking with the driver, Corporal Snyder observed signs of narcotics use. Snyder then asked the driver if there was anything illegal in the car, to which the driver said there was not. Snyder then went a step further and asked if there was anything in the vehicle that might cause a narcotics K9 to alert.

After learning Snyder had his K9 partner, Penny, with him, the female driver changed her answer and allowed Snyder to search the vehicle. Penny was not deployed due the consent of the driver.

During the search, officers learned one of the occupants was

Jeremy Robertson, who had an active Coos County warrant for manslaughter II. Robertson was being sought due to an incident where a dog he had killed a woman in Myrtle Point.

In that case, Robertson brought the dog to the woman's home and left it there when he left. When the woman tried to show the dog to her young children, the dog attacked her and killed her. A responding police officer was also attacked and had to shoot the dog.

Coos County District Attorney R. Paul Frasier said he presented the case to a grand jury in March, and they returned the indictment

against Robertson. Robertson had an initial appearance in Coos County on Monday, with the court entering a not guilty plea for Robertson and setting bond at $250,000.

A release hearing is scheduled Monday, May 2, at the Coos County Courthouse in Coquille.

Frasier said the manslaughter 2 charge claims Robertson recklessly caused the death of Amber Labelle during the dog attack.

Frasier said he has never tried a case before where a dog attacked and killed someone.

"This is the first one, I hope it's the last one, too," he said.

In addition to the warrant,

officers discovered and seized 1.25 pounds of heroin, over 15 grams of methamphetamine, multiple counterfeit oxycodone (fentanyl) pills, $1,747 in cash, a double-edged dagger and a loaded firearm.

Robertson was issued citations to appear in Douglas County Circuit Court on the charges of unlawful possession and delivery of heroin, unlawful possession of methamphetamine, felon in possession of a firearm, and felon in possession of a restricted weapon.

Trooper Napper then transported Robertson to the Coos County Jail to await arraignment on the felony manslaughter warrant.

Douglas County killer granted clemency

for that we are very grateful."

The goals of the proposed multi-user facility will be to support the local and regional seafood processing industry by reducing capital and operational costs associated with treating wastewater from the individual processing facilities. Further, the project will create an opportunity to recover organic material and improve the sustainability of wastewater treatment, producing a treatment of the material that will allow it to be re-used as opposed to disposed of in a landfill.

“This project will lay the groundwork to construct a facility that will support the day-to-

A convicted killer, who was sentenced to life in prison for a vicious Douglas County murder, was released from prison recently after Gov. Kate Brown granted clemency.

Kyle Hedquist, who was convicted of killing Nikki Thrasher in 1994, walked out of prison a free man despite the opposition of Douglas County District Attorney Richard Wesenberg and Sheriff John Hanlin.

He was also released before Thrasher’s family was notified of Brown’s decision.

Hedquist was convicted of murdering Thrasher because she knew Hedquist had stolen items, and he was afraid she would turn him in. Hedquist show Thrasher and left her body on the side of a rural road.

He was arrested, tried and convicted by a Douglas County jury, and received a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

But that sentence came to an end wen Brown granted Hedquist clemency, and he was released from prison. Douglas County refused to allow Hedquist to return to the county, so he was released in Marion County.

The clemency was part of a program Brown is pursuing to release people from prison, especially those convicted as juveniles and those who have served significant portions of their sentences.

Brown also considered granting clemency to Raymond Perkins, who was convicted of murdering and raping Judith Elman on Whiskey Run Beach in Bandon.

Sheriff Hanlin decried the governor’s decision, saying it diminishes justice and does not make the state safer.

“I am absolutely opposed to the governor granting execu-

Hanging around the art museum Rieck helps Coos Art Museum stand out one exhibit at a time

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Dana Rieck arrived at the Coos Art Museum early Saturday morning. By 11 a.m., he had dozens of paintings set around the base of the walls and had moved the interior walls exactly where

he wanted them.

Then he kicked everyone out of the room. Rieck, the exhibition preparator for the museum, wanted some time alone with the art before he decided how to set up the newest exhibit at the Coos Art Museum.

The exhibit opens with a recep-

tion this evening, and Rieck said he might still be working on the final touches until the guests arrive.

Just another long week in the life of the man who has set up museum exhibits for the last decade.

With no formal training, Rieck has learned the job on the fly. But he said the key is to trust the art.

"I don't really set the shows up, they set themselves up," he said. "You get a feeling of the art and how it should look."

On Saturday morning, the look was a blank canvas. The freshly painted walls were empty, with Please see ART MUSEUM, Page A2

Port, seafood processors work to find wastewater answers in Charleston

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

A new challenge is threatening the fishing industry along the South Coast.

New wastewater standards by the federal government are threatening seafood processors in Charleston, but the local processors and the International Port of Coos Bay are looking for answers.

The port and the West Coast Seafood Processors Association in partnership with local seafood processors recently received notice of award for grant funding to conduct a feasibility study intended to evaluate opportunities to construct a multi-user wastewater plant on port property in Charleston.

Margaret Barber, director of external affairs and business development for the port, said a new wastewater treatment plant is needed to keep the processors and to allow those businesses and perhaps others to expand in the Charleston area.

Barber said due to increased regulatory requirements in wastewater treatment and disposal, seafood processors throughout Oregon have been working to develop solutions to ensure compliance while keeping the costs associated with doing business manageable. To consolidate efforts and support the continued success of the industry, the Port and WCSPA have been working for the past year with local

seafood processors to understand the challenges associated with regulatory compliance and develop a solution.

The Port submitted a grant application to Business Oregon through the Port Planning and Marketing program, requesting $50,000. WCSPA will provide matching funds of $25,000 to support the work.

"We are thrilled about the opportunity to work with the Port and Business Oregon on an issue of such critical importance to the seafood industry in Oregon,” stated Lori Steele, executive director of WCSPA, “This project demonstrates the Port's commitment to support and sustain our industry in southern Oregon, and

the paintings sitting on the floor.

Before he arrived Saturday, Rieck had no idea what pieces were going to be in the exhibit, and that's exactly how he likes it.

"I never want to know what the pieces are," he said. "It's like Christmas. It gets unboxed that morning. There's usually one or two pieces that you center everything around. I've been doing this about 10 years. I've hung over 100 shows. It's art. What could be more fun?"

Rieck has long been a supporter of the Coos Art Museum, but only took over hanging the exhibits a decade ago when the previous preparator died. Rieck applied for the job and was chosen. Then he had to learn on the fly.

"My first couple of shows, it was overwhelming," Rieck said.

"But after a while, it's just fun.

It's a challenge each time. It's always different, which makes it perpetually interesting."

Rieck, who creates stained glass are when he has free time, has always loved art and said the community is fortunate to have the Coos Art Museum.

"How cool is it that we have an art museum in Coos Bay," he said. "When I moved here, I was like we have an art museum. We are so fortunate to this here."

And through the years, Rieck has hung and seen some amazing shows.

"Kelly Herrick in Bandon put on a killer show," Rieck said.

"We did a glass show that was all Northwest artists. By and far, my favorite show is the student exhibit. The art from pre-schoolers to second graders is just genius.

Art from children is so amazing.

They're so pure."

Despite his lack of formal training, Rieck has proven himself over and over as a preparator.

"Ryan Hoover from Utah, that was an amazing show, too," Rieck said. "He brought all his work in and we set it up, A couple of days later, he walked in the room and said, 'Whoa, I really didn't there was something to hanging a show.'"

While many would think deciding where to place the art is difficult, Rieck said another step is more challenging.

"The most difficult thing in setting up the show is to make the room different," he said. "Every time you come in here, it's different. Sometimes there's no pillars, it's a wide open room."

The main gallery at the museum has three permanent pillars, but every other internal wall can be moved to make the room and every exhibit different. Rieck had help with that over the weekend, but when the walls were set, he started working alone. And that worked continued for close to a week, making every detail perfect before the new exhibit opened.

"Sometimes that lighting gets done by 4 p.m. Friday," he said with a laugh.

The Expressions West Show highlights the work of artists from 13 Western states. It will be on exhibit through June at the Coos Art Museum.

Southwestern partners with Rotary Clubs to host "Gift of Literacy" Reading is fundamental. It develops the brains of young children, provides a window into the world around them and helps them do better in all school subjects.

Yet, 800 million people around the world cannot read or write. And many families (and some schools) have no books for children to read.

With the idea of encouraging a love of reading, the Rotary Clubs and school districts of North Bend, Coos Bay, Reedsport, Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point and Powers, along with South Coast ESD and Southwestern Oregon Community College are partnering to help children

on the South Coast get excited about books with the Gift of Literacy Program.

Modeled after the Springfield Gift of Literacy, this well-established, time-tested, award-winning program fosters a love of reading among young children. Through a multiclub Rotary District Grant matched by local clubs, every first-grader (over 600) in each of the club’s coastal communities are participating in this enriching sixmonth literacy program.

The Gift of Literacy Program will culminate in a festive celebration on Wednesday, May 11, at Southwestern Oregon Community College,

when first-graders from the South Coast will be transported by bus to the college to attend an assembly and receive a cinch bag filled with fun swag … and a brand-new book!

The six selected books, chosen by Coos County librarians and educators, are a wonderful and diverse mix. Each first-grade classroom received a set of the books in November.

Teachers or guest readers read the books in the classroom. Then each firstgrade student chose his or her favorite title among the six hardbound books, which is what they will receive at the May 11 Gift of Literacy celebration.

The Port of Brookings Harbor recently received $3.5 million in federal funding to build a wastewater plant at its port. Oregon representatives fought for the funding, saying without it, Pacific Seafood would be forced to close in the Port of Brookings-Harbor.

Barber said the feasibility study will give the port an idea of the cost and preferred locations for a treatment plant. At that time, the port will begin looking for grant funding to pay for the facility.

May 7 event will honor Chief Don Ivy The family of Chief Donald Boyd Ivy invites the community to honor his memory on Saturday, May 7, at The Mill Casino-Hotel.

Family members, friends and colleagues will celebrate Chief Ivy’s life and share memories, both in person and in a tribute film. The event starts at 1 p.m. and will be followed by a reception. Everyone is welcome.

Chief Ivy was born in North Bend in 1951 and grew up in the Empire area. After pursuing a career in retailing and sales, he returned to the Coos Bay area in 1991 to work for his tribe. He was elected as its chief in 2014 and

served until a few days before his death on July 19, 2021, after a seven-month battle with cancer.

He is remembered as a dynamic leader and skilled consensus builder. He worked effectively to establish Oregon’s strong inter-tribal and inter-governmental relationships, and he relentlessly pursued economic and educational opportunities for Indian people. By researching and sharing knowledge about tribal culture and history, he encouraged understanding and respect for the heritage of Native American people in Oregon.

A public memorial for Chief Ivy was delayed during the

The family requests no photography or recording of the event.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Chief Ivy’s memory be given to the Donald Ivy Memorial Scholarship Endowment at Southwestern Oregon Community College. Donations also can be given to the Elakha Alliance, an organization he helped found to restore Oregon’s sea otter population, at www.elakhaalliance. org/donivy/.

to eliminate the possibility of her turning him into the police. He then dumped her body alongside a remote logging road. The executive clemency granted by Governor Brown in this case is shocking and

irresponsible. Governor Brown granted clemency despite compelling arguments and letters of opposition from Douglas County District Attorney Richard Wesenberg, Marion County District

Attorney Paige Clarkson and Marion County Sheriff Joe Kast.

“In my opinion, Governor Brown’s decision to grant clemency to Hedquist demonstrates complete disregard for the safety of

our community and the community into which he has been released. More shockingly, it deliberately rejects and diminishes the justice delivered in the name of Ms. Thrasher, her family and friends.”

Letters to the Editor We need change Have you ever noticed that most all of our problems come from outside manipulations?

That’s because our country is under assault.

We are in a coup. An insidious coup.

As such, the qualifications we need right now are largely; - Courage.

- A genuine connection with the people.

- Someone who takes their oath seriously.

We have someone who has already shown that he is engaged with his community.

Someone who has already shown the courage to stand up for our rights.

His name is Rod Taylor.

Psychiatrists and life coaches will often tell us; ‘keep doing what you’ve always done, and you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got’.

The question in this election cycle for commissioner is this.

Are you happy with what you’ve got?

If you aren’t, you’re not alone.

Problem is, we have rampant voter fraud happening.

In little towns.

In big cities.

In states.

In entire countries!

There’s lotsa stinky stuff goin’ on with our elections right here in Coos County too (including our last presidential election).

Former Clerk Debbie Heller is an operative for the local Democratic

Party. Which is fine. But not as sitting county clerk.

Many local organizations filed FOIA requests for access to 2020 election records.

The price was $1,500 each to see our election information.

Then, within a week she abruptly resigned.

Perhaps the penalty for being complicit in election fraud was interrupting her sleep patterns.

It’s been discovered that there was a 1,000% increase in ‘adjudicated’ (read; hand-processed) ballots.

There are usually a few hundred.

Then. We were told that ‘the hard drive crashed’.

My inspection of correspondence shows that IT assistance was included in the county’s software package.

Further investigation indicates that Heller showed resistance to backing up our hard drives, and resistance to having them restored (which is done all the time).

There were many applicants to replace Keller.

However our ‘public servants’ unanimously installed Dede Murphy; chair of Coos County Democratic Party.

Another operative.

That smell ‘ain’t apple pie.

James Bennett Bandon Our voting system is secure This letter is in response to Stan Avery's letter on April 19, “Election fraud in Coos County”.

I drive through Bandon everyday,

along Beach Loop and then north on 101. The signs are multiplying, not diminishing. There are as many signs for candidates on the right as there are for those on the left. If anyone is stealing signs, I certainly haven't noticed it.

When a person takes an opponent's sign, of course they should be prosecuted. Unfortunately both sides have people that are willing to break the law. However Stan accuses an entire group of stealing conservative candidates' signs. Then he has the gall to take a giant leap and accuse the entire group of voter fraud.

For the umpteenth time let me state the truth. Trump's lawyers submitted more than 60 cases of voter fraud to courts all over the country. Some of these judges were appointed by Trump and some were appointed by other presidents. These cases were dismissed because Trump's lawyers did not present proof to back up their claims. In fact, some of these lawyers were reprimanded and now face possible disbarment. However there have been a few voter fraud cases reported and prosecuted. Ninety percent of these cases were Trump voters using their dead spouses ballot or their dead parents ballot.

Stan also recommends getting rid of mail-in ballots unless the voter lacks mobility. It sounds like he is a member of the Diane Rich fan club.

She also wants to get rid of mail-in voting and take us back to the 1990s, when it was harder to cast your vote.

We have a very secure voting system with paper ballots and signature verification. Oregon was the first state to have mail-in voting. It was passed

by a citizens' ballot initiative in 1998 and has been exclusively practiced since 2000.

It has revolutionized democratic participation in Oregon and helped us make elections more accessible to the voters. We have a VERY secure vote by mail system with several safeguards and guidelines. Go to sos. oregon.gov and read the 90-page manual on Vote by Mail procedures that must be followed by all county clerks. It covers everything down to the smallest detail.

Blaming entire groups for the sins of a few is very dangerous. It leads to distrust and then conflict and violence.

This is what our adversaries are hoping to achieve. If they are successful our democracy will fail.

Barbara Coulson Bandon Let's work together Coos Bay is a beautiful town. It's a beautiful town, filled with wonderful people. And it saddens me to have witnessed the steady decline of the area, although I only moved here five years ago, I can still see the remaining vestiges of a once bright town behind the steady decay I see seeping in.

The loss of industry, the complacency of our city government, and the deepset apathy that's seemingly afflicted day-to-day people faced with a world that they've started to lose hope for, it's all played a factor in procedurally destroying the very soul of this amazing community. Even in periods of apparent stability, the tension, the suffering of everyday people,

is palatable.

People have lost their jobs, their homes, their livelihoods over the years, all while a small group of people sit comfortably profiting off of the conditions that they've created, the very same conditions which continue to gut us economically and socially.

The businesses they own, that they have stakes in, are profiting, so they don't experience the struggle of working people. And meanwhile, those of us who struggle the most are at each others throats over every single disagreement, rather than attempting to build common ground along our shared interests.

We would sooner alienate each other over perceived insurmountable disagreements, rather than take a moment to speak with each other honestly about our perspectives and trying to figure out the source of our struggle. I do not benefit from fighting with my neighbor, I do not profit from tearing down my coworker, all that happens is the status quo gets maintained while we make ourselves miserable tearing each other to shreds. And for what?

Those of us in this community who actually feel economic downturn, see the housing crisis firsthand and experience the impact of wage stagnation most directly have nothing to gain from being at war with each other. We need change, and we cannot get that change until we're able to see past our bubble, and work and speak with people we may disagree with on certain issues.

A do-it-yourself, homegrown national park

By Asta Bowen National parks have been getting a lot of love since the pandemic, so much that this summer you need reservations at many. For example, you must make a reservation just to drive Montana's legendary Going-ToThe-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, and passes can sell out within hours of release.

That’s better than stalking parking lots before sunrise and finding trails turning into Asta Bowen conga lines, but it makes me all the more interested in a new national park that’s in the works. It’s even closer to home than I would have thought possible.

It's also closer to you. "Homegrown National Park" is the brainchild of Doug Tallamy, an entomologist at the University of Delaware and author of Nature's Best Hope. His pitch: we're in trouble biologically, and it has to do with things we often take for granted: basics like soil and water, and pollinators for most of the crops we eat, without which we two-leggers could quickly become extinct ourselves. Half a century after banning DDT, we're still losing 60 million birds a year, and it's not just their pretty singing that’s at stake.

You could thank a yellow warbler, for example, for the coffee you're drinking, which might have been ruined back in Costa Rica if not for the birds providing pest control on the plantation. As for those timbers holding up the roof over your head? It's birds like the chickadee that helped protect that Doug fir from spruce budworm back in the forest.

When it comes to the food chain, those of us at the top will do well to understand what's at the bottom, and here's the rub: Saving trees is not enough. We also need the birds and bugs, and they can't all live in national parks.

Despite our wealth of public lands, most of the country is under private ownership. Tallamy's idea is to capitalize on that with a large number of small projects — as small as a city lot in the old railroad town of Livingston, Montana, or even a corner of your own front yard.

So it’s about my yard, and maybe yours. They don't have to be ecologically pristine to be biologically valuable, and you don't have to dig up the whole lawn to make a difference. But if we build it, who will come? Even a few square feet of native plants can bring a missing species back home.

In Livingston, after Beth Madden planted her "postage stamp" lawn with native shrubs and wildflowers, the variety of visiting birds grew from seven species — mostly non-native starlings, pigeons, and such — to more than 50. She saw flocks of warblers feasting for hours on tiny bugs to fuel their migration and a giant sphinx moth pollinating the new bee balm.

Over in Bozeman, a resident who started with a typical lawn found herself in the middle of a "pollinator desert," despite being right across the street from a park, which consisted of mowed grass and just a few trees. Using thick layers of mulch and water-wise native plants, she turned a hot, south-facing part of her yard into a refuge drawing bees, moths, and before long, butterflies. As conservationist Paulette Epple noted, "The last plant blooming in the fall is smooth aster and it is always crawling with bees."

Another bird enthusiast tried for years to attract hummingbirds to her feeders, with no luck. But after swapping out her petunias and marigolds for more bird-friendly plantings, she was rewarded with her first calliope hummingbird.

Even in downtown New York City, along the reclaimed High line Park, Doug Tallamy found native plants growing on "grit," plus four species of native bees, and two monarch butterflies nectaring away — all 30 feet above city traffic.

My own yard is a study in benign neglect, but last spring my neighbor and I decided to put in a "friendship hedge" along our property line. Together we planted two types of native currant bushes, and pollinators were on them before we'd even put the tools away. Come fall, the bushes with the most berries turned out to be — surprise, surprise — the same variety as a wild currant that was already growing just up the hill.

You won't find it in a travel brochure, but Homegrown National Park is open year-round. No crowds, no lines, and no reservations required.

Letters to the Editor I am voting for the new library I read the recent letters regarding opposition to the new library location with interest. A short while ago, I would have agreed with these writers as I have thought the Topits site a huge mistake. However, I went to the recent presentation at the current library and have been convinced otherwise.

The plans for the new library and 911 center are impressive. The layout is thoughtful and encompasses two levels with entrances on both as well as an elevator. While it is true that some trees will have to come down, they are incorporating a lot of glass and open areas to allow users to look out over the beautiful park on several sides. There will actually be some additional parking and those launching boats and kayaks will not be affected. Neither will the fishing folk.

With the new 911 center there manned 24/7 security will be better than I had expected. There will also be a generator and the library could be used as an emergency evacuation site if needed.

Would it be preferable to have it downtown? Yes. However, they discussed that and had handouts available concerning several downtown sites that had been looked at and discarded largely due to the instability of the land. Let’s face it, Coos Bay wasn’t called Marshfield for no reason.

It’s true there is another library at SOCC just across the lake, but its purpose is different. The transit system is looking forward to adding the new library to their routes. It will take more effort for some to get there, but as one previous writer said, you always have the North Bend library.

I am going to vote "Yes" for the bond measure. I hope more of you will take the time to become fully informed and also vote "Yes".

Keep the park serene I am opposed to the building of a library and 911 call center in John Topits Park. My husband John was given city permission to build a park, using all of the property involved.

John was determined it would be a place of quiet beauty, where the public could enjoy nature in a serene, undisturbed setting.

John enlisted many volunteers and together they worked eight years and 7,273 hours to reach this goal.

I am against cutting off any part of this park for a large building and the parking area it would require.

A personal stake?

I am a candidate in the 2022 Primary Election in Coos County. I am witnessing events that appear so corrupt that I must point out what is happening.

Here is my perspective.

I ran for the position of interim county clerk. The clerk is supposed to be non-partisan. This is the most important qualification to ensure a fair election.

The position was advertised twice, so I submitted my application twice.

I was not chosen. The position was given to Dede Murphy who was at that time the chair of the Democrat Party.

I believe that John Sweet approached Dede Murphy and asked her to run for the position. She did not submit her application initially, and I have a video where she announced that she was asked to run.

John Sweet and Melissa Cribbins

are candidates in this election with vested interest in the outcome. They should have recused themselves from the vote for clerk. Melissa Cribbins is a lawyer, right? Why is the county attorney not stopping this?

But together, despite opposition, they appointed the Democrat Party chair as clerk.

Is it fair to allow candidates to appoint the clerk, pay her salary for the year, and falsely claim that no other candidates were qualified?

I formally protest this unfair appointment and ask for the county attorney to rescind the appointment of Dede Murphy by the commissioners with personal stake immediately.

Diane E Rich Candidate for Coos County Clerk

Stop the whining Casting doubt about voter irregularity ahead of an election is straight out of the Trumpian playbook of dirty tricks. This is what Rod Taylor, candidate for Coos County Commissioner, has done in the Voters’ Pamphlet. He refers to 3,700 missing adjudicated ballots from 2020. He uses the word “adjudicated” to make us think he has a legal background and knows what he’s talking about.

He also wants to “Make Coos County Great Again.” Sound familiar? County commissioners should be independent thinkers, not rubber stamp Trump whiners who supported the January 6 violence. Those Trumpers endlessly whine without proof that the election was rigged in a single state.

Taylor is setting us up so when he loses, he wants us to think there’s been some voter tampering.

I’ve lived in Coos County over 30 years and have never heard of any voter irregularity. I am no Johnny-come-lately to local politics.

I myself have registered plenty of voters during the past 20 years and always went by the book. Any question I had, I talked with county clerk personnel. They were always astringent in following the rules.

Two former Democrat state seats went to Republicans in 2020 but you don’t hear local Democrats crying, “Foul.” I actually have had two good interactions with State Representative Boomer Wright and State Senator Dick Anderson. I didn’t vote for them, but I will support their terms in office without complaint. Honest adults don’t whine. They accept their losses and think for themselves.

Fraud threatens democracy Election fraud is an existential threat to the entire American experiment.

We need to return for the foreseeable future and perhaps forever, to paper ballots and hand counting of ballots, along with simplifying the voting process to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.

Here are the basic reforms needed, which activists should push at the state, county, election department, and every other level: • Ban all electronic voting machines and vote tabulators, equipment, flash drives etc. Use paper ballots only, with human vote counters, not machine tabulators. Encourage MORE Americans of every political persuasion to volunteer to be part of the process, especially the counting and the observers of the counting.

Seth Keshel makes a great point that in order to have hand-counting we need to have small election precincts, keeping the number of ballots to be counted within a reasonable number.

• Impose extreme limitations on the use of mail-in and absentee ballots, making them permissible on a needs-only basis, allowing them for those in the military serving abroad, truly bedridden invalids, and other special circumstance exceptions narrowly defined by legislators. NO more unsolicited mail-in ballots, no absentee ballots unless based on serious and verified need, no ballot boxes. Make ballot-deliverers sign under penalty of perjury that they are delivering a valid ballot filled out by the voter to whom it was sent, and limit each deliverer to one ballot.

• Impose significant prison sentences for all kinds of election fraud, including those who attempt to vote who are not citizens, those who try to vote more than once in the same election, those who enable or participate in mail-in ballot fraud, those who falsely utilize mail-in ballots.

• End all early voting and have one Election Day as a national holiday. Make it a patriotic holiday like July 4th.

• ANNUALLY clean out all voter rolls, with an audit of the entire roll and a canvassing of a portion of listed voters.

Had to laugh I had to laugh at Stan Avery’s letter on April 19. First of all, most of the political signs in Bandon (where he resides) are for far right extremists, not liberals. Secondly, both of my Melissa Cribbins signs “mysteriously” disappeared. Who would have taken them?

And thirdly, a few years ago ODOT came by and took a political sign of mine because it was too near the street. The state owns several feet of right of way. Now if ODOT was doing its job this year, they would take down most of the signs in Bandon, no matter whose they are. Call ODOT and you’ll be told that this is a low priority task. Hmm. Why is Avery grousing about voter fraud in Coos County when most offices are won by Republicans anyway? You’ve got to either laugh . . . or cry.

Vote yes for North Bend schools We encourage voters in the North Bend School District to support Measure 6-195 on your upcoming spring election ballot. This bond measure extends funding to repair and update aging health, safety, and security projects without raising the current tax rate.

When our schools were built in the 1950s and 1960s, architects didn’t consider the danger created by pandemics, gun violence and air quality. It’s time to remedy this. The bond would also expand vocational programs like culinary, metalworking, construction trades and graphic arts and renovate the NBHS cafeteria for our drama, choir and instrumental music programs. An added bonus is that the State of Oregon has awarded the district a grant of $4 million if the bond measure passes.

There’s nothing fancy in this measure – and no new school buildings – but maintenance would certainly be more costly if it is deferred to the future. Let’s work together to give our North Bend school children better opportunities to succeed.

Previous generations passed bonds to build our schools…it’s our duty to keep them up-to-date. Vote yes on Measure 6-195.

OBITUARIES Patti Boice Strain September 20, 1934 – April 16, 2022

Patti Boice Strain, age 87, passed away April 16, 2022 at her home in Myrtle Point, Oregon surrounded by her family. Patti was born September 20, 1934 in Bandon, Oregon to Marjorie Luella Carmack Boice and Fred Guerin Boice of Langlois. Her only sibling, David Boice, was born in 1937 and preceded her in death on February 13, 2021.

Her paternal Boice and Guerin great grandparents, Zaccheus and Eliza Jane (Gault) Boice and William S. and Margaret (Miller) Guerin, arrived in Curry County in 1877. Each family settled on 160 acre Homestead Donation claims on Floras Creek in Dairyville, later named Langlois.

Patti’s maternal Lyons and Carmack great grandparents came from Illinois to Ridgefield, Washington in the late 1800s. Marjorie Carmack had left her mother and step-father, Myrtle and David Parton’s home in Kalama, Washington to work at the Floras Lake Hotel south of Langlois.

Fred Guerin Boice worked there managing poker games in the evenings and hauling logs during the day for his father, Judge Allen H. Boice.

Patti Boice, age 19, and Hal Strain, age 18, married on May 23, 1954, in the Langlois High School Gym, and were just 16 days shy of 64 wonderful years together when Hal passed on May 7, 2017.

Each of their Boice and Strain grandparents had twelve children. P & H, as their trucking business was known, had 102 first and second cousins on their wedding day.

Hal and Patti settled on Langlois Mountain where they built a home and then later lived in Fairview where they raised four children. Surviving are: David Strain (Kathy), Darcie Stone (Bob), Douglas Strain (Dawn).

Dan Strain passed on June 16, 2015 in Roseburg Veterans Hospital. Nine grandchildren survive: Teneille Geib (Kyle), Wayne Parrish (Kaylie), Tara Goffic (Nathan), Caitlyn Meals (Kyle), Christopher Strain, Sasha, Sabra, Sareal Strain and Emma Strain. Twelve great grandchildren survive: Brodie, Avie and Adley Parrish, Conner, Caleb, Zane and Zachary Goffic, Avery and Kylie Geib, Madeline and Adrian Adamek, and Wrigley Meals. One greatgreat grandchild survives: Isaiah Goffic.

While Hal operated P & H Trucking, Patti worked for the City of Coquille for 25 years, over ten years as City Manager.

With four children in school, she started employment at age 33, in 1967 as the city’s meter maid, walking the streets to mark tires with a chalk stick, then issuing tickets for over-time parking violations. She was called ‘The Street Walker’.

Within six months she was promoted to secretary and then to billing clerk.

Within a few years Patti became City Recorder, Finance Director, and then City Manager.

In the early 1970s Patti attended SWOCC Accounting classes I, II and III, and acquired the necessary understanding and ability to advance to the position of Finance Director of City operations. In 1976 the City Council promoted Patti to City Manager and Finance Director, having one person for two positions. The combined positions and family care proved too much; she quit the Manager position and continued as Finance Director. In 1981 the City Council promoted Patti, age 47, to the position of City Manager, without adding other titles or duties to the position, thus becoming the first woman

City Manager in Oregon.

She worked almost nine years in that position to steadily improve the city.

She wrote and obtained a half million dollar grant to rebuild and increase capacity of the city’s fifty year old water treatment plant. It was Patti’s idea and organization, during the 1980s recession, to develop a city owned overgrown, muddy patch of fallen trees and brush into what is now known as Sturdivant Park. The park is named for Penny Sturdivant, a World War II Veteran who fished that riverside area frequently and bragged about “his” fishing site as being the best on the Coquille River.

Patti retired from the City Manager position in late 1989. However, in January, 1997 the City Council again hired her as City Manager, when the man who replaced her, Joe Wolf, moved on.

During the next eighteen months she guided the filling and raising above flood level the former GP site which the city had purchased. It had been underway for six years at that time and cleanup had been completed, but not the fish enhancement section. With her support and money from the ODOT, Dutch John Creek was removed from several hundred feet of culvert and opened to the river for the first time in many years. ODFW insisted on an overwintering pond between the river and creek to give salmon a freshwater rest area during high water. During this time, she facilitated the hiring of City Manager Bruce Meitoff, to replace her and went back to retirement with husband Hal on their Burton Prairie Tree Farm in Fairview.

In late 1999, for the fourth time, the City Council hired Patti as Manager, at age 65. City Manager Bruce Meitoff, 18 months on the job, sadly had a fatal

heart attack while hunting.

Patti worked for six months to facilitate City Council action in the process of hiring Terence O’Conner as City Manager in spring of 2000. Patti retired for the third and final time in April of 2000. She loved the people of Coquille and her work as City Manager. Patti authored weekly articles for The Coquille Valley Sentinel to keep the community informed of city actions, the accomplishments achieved and the problems Coquille faced. Citizens of Coquille often mentioned their appreciation of the openness of city government during Patti’s tenures.

After retirement Patti worked with Doc Stevenson to obtain funds to build the new Sawdust Theatre after the original theatre burned. It was almost a full-time job for two years and so many citizens of Coquille worked long and hard to replace the theatre. During retirement Patti spent many years recording oral history from her Boice and Strain families, and other Langlois residents. Hal and Patti self-published the 800 page reference book of historical pictures and memories titled “Floras Creek Precinct and The Boice Family of Curry County, Featuring Cope, Guerin, Phillips and Strain Families, and other early settlers.” The book is available in Coos and Curry libraries, and received good reviews from readers.

Patti and Hal were two of the dozen founding members of the Coquille Valley Historical Society (CVHS) and museum in 2005. The opening of the museum became a lasting operation when Bob Taylor donated his building to permanently house the museum. Patti held officer positions in that organization and volunteered there for ten years, retiring in 2015.

In 2009 Patti and Hal were looking for a way to financially support the museum. Patti compiled and Hal proofread the two volumes titled: “The Coquille Valley”- Vol. I: “Memories from Moccasins to the Moon” and Vol. II: “Wagon Wheels to Wireless.”

Historical information was gathered from dozens of early authors of Oregon and Coquille Valley history and complied two volumes. The Museum

and the Strains shared in the $11,500 printing project and the small profits. The copyright was donated to Coquille Valley Historical Society so the book can be reprinted in the future. Patti wrote many history articles for Coquille Sentinel and Myrtle Point Herald. Patti compiled other small books including the history of her Carmack family. In 2016 she compiled four volumes about World War II, including the young men who died in that war from the Coquille Valley.

Patti was a Bandon Cranberry Princess in 1951. Over the years she received many awards and plaques of appreciation. In 1989 Governor Neil Goldschmidt congratulated her for “the high level of service you have given to your community. I have been told that you are the first woman in Oregon to be a city manager” Patti was recognized as a Coos County Woman of Achievement, and was recognized in Coquille on October 13, 1998, because “she has made a significant contribution to advancing the awareness of women’s history.” She was appreciative of the awards, but too reserved to talk about them.

She received a lovely plaque upon retiring from the Coquille Valley Historical Society. She felt truly fortunate for the life she had.

Patti had a great workfilled happy life. Her years with Hal and her wonderful children were the best. A full measure of work filled each day.

She built concrete block walls, fishponds and walkways. The last wall she built was 100’ long and 4’ high, when she was 82. She fought several types of cancer for 15 years. The cancer returned in her 86th year. With treatment, and surgery she was cancer free, but without Hal by her side she no longer wanted to stay.

Enjoyment was on every hand. Helpful husband, great children, wonderful grandchildren and great grandchildren were the most important in her life,

What a Wonder Filled Life Do not grieve for me, for I wait for you I am following the path laid before me I took His hand when I heard Him call, I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, To laugh, to live, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way, I have found a good resting place at close of day.

If my parting leaves a void, Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened now with sorrow.

I wish all my loved ones the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I have savored so much, Love, children, good friends, good times, And my loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief, Do not lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your head and laugh and share, The Master of the Universe wants me now To track the history up there with care.

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

IN-LAWS OFFER SWEET DEAL FOR HOME ... WITH A CATCH

DEAR ABBY: I am a newlywed. My husband and I are looking for a house to settle down in, but we're struggling to find one we like that we can afford. My in-laws, who are moving, offered to sell us their house for a very generous price. The house is in a great neighborhood, but it's old and outdated and has HVAC and plumbing problems.

I think the house would be the perfect place for my husband and me to raise a family if we had some renovations made. However, we have talked to my in-laws about this, and they are very attached to this house and very against having any renovations made to it. My husband is happy to buy it and not have the renovations made, but I'm not so sure. What should I do? -HOUSE HUNTER IN CALIFORNIA DEAR HOUSE HUNTER: You and your husband should talk with your in-laws together.

While I understand their sentimental attachment to the house, they are being unrealistic and controlling. If they were to sell it to strangers, you can bet the first thing that would happen would be renovations. HVAC, plumbing, electrical and roof problems cost a fortune to keep fixing over time if they are not dealt with. Don't they want their grandchildren raised in a nice, safe home in a great neighborhood? If the answer is yes, they need to loosen the reins.

If not, then you should keep looking.

DEAR ABBY: I'm a veteran with a nonservice-connected back injury. I need artificial discs between several vertebrae. The hospitals and clinics ignored my condition for the past 25 years. I will have an MRI soon. My fiancee is a nurse and does not have the money for the

operation I need. A wealthy female friend has offered to fund it. Should I ask my fiancee for permission since this friend is a woman? -GETTING A CHANCE IN OKLAHOMA DEAR GETTING: You should definitely clear it with your fiancee. If she loves you, she will agree that you are fortunate to have such a generous friend. However, if she's insecure, you will then have to decide which is more important -- your health or your relationship. I know which one I'd choose.

DEAR ABBY: My college-age daughter who still lives with me is addicted to caffeine.

I am considering slowly replacing the regular coffee with decaf without telling her. I don't want to tell her, as this may get in her head, and she may react by having withdrawal symptoms.

I don't think she would be angry, because she knows I am always looking out for her. What do you think? -- MOM WITH A PLAN DEAR MOM: Quit being a helicopter barista. Have enough respect for your college-age daughter to tell her the amount of coffee she consumes is a concern for you. Then ask if she would like your help to cut back.

Withdrawal symptoms from caffeine are real, and your daughter might wonder what's wrong when she experiences symptoms of withdrawal if you keep her in the dark. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Bandon Tigers to name the Port of Bandon's new Tiger Rockfish Sculpture Washed Ashore's newest sculpture, a Tiger Rockfish, arrived at Bandon High School Tuesday, April 26, to meet the students who will choose it's new name.

The new sculpture, chosen both for the Bandon Tigers mascot and being a species native to Oregon, was designed especially for the community as a permanent fixture for the Port of Bandon.

The sculpture will be driven from Washed Ashore's Coos Bay facility on a flatbed trailer to Bandon High School. After meeting the students, the sculpture will be transported down to the port for installation. The students will submit names and vote on the winner. The official naming and unveiling will take place at the port on May 4.

The Tiger Rockfish sculpture

is over 16 feet long and over 10 feet high. It took four people and over three months to build, along with countless volunteers.

The new sculpture is made from ocean debris such as a canoe, toilet seat, fishing bins, gas cans, toys, combs, buoys and other recognizable plastics. Washed Ashore's sculptures aim to educate about plastic pollution in our oceans and waterways and spark change in consumer habits.

Washed Ashore, Bandon High School and the Port of Bandon would like to invite the media to our "fish parade" this Tuesday to welcome this exciting new art piece to our community. Washed Ashore's Gallery Manager Cameron McCrew, and lead artist Steve Wright, will be at BHS to take questions.

Brush, yard debris removal event set June 13 The next brush and yard debris removal event of 2022 will be held on Monday, June 13. Bandon Disposal will be picking up piles of brush and yard debris. City residents are allowed up to a maximum of five cubic yards of brush and yard debris (approximately two pickup loads) at no cost. Simply place your brush and yard debris in the right-of-way alongside the street adjacent to your house prior to Monday, June 13, and Bandon Disposal will pick it up.

If you get missed, contact Bandon Disposal at 541-347-9633 and let them know.

Please make sure that your brush is in one pile, since there is a maximum of one pile per address, and no group piles. Keep in mind that this program is for woody yard debris such as branches, brush, gorse, etc., so other items and materials such as metals, appliances, furniture, etc. will not be accepted.

Branches must be cut into lengths no longer than five feet. Grass clippings and leaves will also be picked up, provided they are placed in biodegradable paper bags. No plastic bags can be accepted.

Also, please avoid placing your pile under overhead utility lines or overhanging trees, since a boom truck is used to pick up the debris. Locate your pile away from fire hydrants and utility boxes, and do not impede sidewalks or pedestrian walkways.

A total of three brush and yard debris removal events are held each year. This is the second event. This year they are scheduled for January, June and October. If you have more than five cubic yards of debris, or if you want debris picked up at times other than the three brush removal weeks, contact Bandon Disposal at 541-347-9633 for a price quote.

AS I SEE IT: Building the South Jetty

By MARY SCHAMEHORN This week, I am running three photos about the same story, several of which were taken in 1897, as work progressed on the building of the South Jetty. The third was taken during work on the North Jetty. I am not sure the date of the third photo, but on the back it says the trolley is headed out to the end of the North Jetty.

The trolley carried rock in making the jetties. In the foreground you can see the United States Life Savings crew possibly on a training mission in the river.

A headline in the Dec. 16, 1915, Western World spanned the width of the front page: "$300,000 Has Been Spent to Give Coquille River a Good Harbor.

"Some thirty or forty years ago the Coquille River, a stream then navigable only a few miles, poured its waters into the Pacific Ocean over a shallow and very dangerous bar which was close to the high point where the Coast Guard lookout now stands."

The point that the article refers to is what we now know as Coquille Point, a good deal south of the present channel.

"Only small sailing schooners, of the type long since passed from the census of coast shipping, made port at Bandon and those only at rare intervals. Twenty to fifty days were consumed in the passage to San Francisco, from whence they came with supplies and return with the product of the one small mill on the river. One hundred thousand feet of lumber made up a big load for the tiny ships and a round trip every two months was above the average.

"What a fuss we would make today had we to depend on a row boat to take us to any of the points on the upper river, from Bullards to Myrtle Point!

Yet, there are many still living who remember the initial trip of the first steamboat on the river and who have pulled a skiff from the old Bandon Ferry slip to Beaver Slough or Coquille City, rather than walk or ride through the unbroken wilderness.

"It is different now (1915). The mouth of the river has shifted a quarter of a mile northward and the tides flow in and out through a confined channel, giving a depth of water on the bar of about 12 to 16 feet at mean low tide.

Steamers carrying upwards of 1,000,000 feet of lumber and making round trips to San Francisco every five days can cross in and out without the slightest danger, while vessels two to four times as large as the old sailing schooners can dock at Coquille City, 22 miles inland.

"Private enterprise furnished the funds for the first work done on the river, way back in 1880 when the river followed the bluff and had its outlet between Table Rock and the point upon which the Lookout now stands. During the next four years approximately $4,000 was raised for harbor work and expended under the direction of Captain Judah Parker, founder of Parkersburg.

Close onto $1500 of this fund was the result of a grand barbecue and dance held in Bandon, attended by everyone up and down the river and throughout the country around.

"Large crates were built, filled with rock and sunk on either side of the mouth of the river in hopes of confining the ever-shifting channel."

The article goes on to explain that in 1884 Congress appropriated $10,000 for the work aimed at containing the channel, where it is today.

The second picture represents the first rock for the new jetty, built in 1898.

Before the rock could be hauled to the jetty, the Tupper rock quarry, which had been closed and the equip-

ment dismantled following the completion of the north jetty, had to be reopened. ""Between the quarry and the receiving wharf 3,000 feet of trestle had to be built and the wharf reconstructed, while the part of the project on the north side of the river called for an entirely new dock and 2500 feet of trestle.

"Reopening the quarry presented some difficulties in itself and in order to understand the problem one must know that the quarry is nearly a hole in the side of a bluff or hill, into which the cars enter and are loaded from above by derricks. During the previous work all the rock within a safe reach of the derrick boom had been cleared away, so that either the derrick must be placed deeper in the pit and a less secure foundation used, or a monster derrick built."

They compromised by building two 90 foot line boom derricks, one on each side of the quarry, which is the area where Pacific View assisted living center sits today.

"Removing thousands of tons of rock from the pit was the first work of these derricks."

It is hard to imagine how much work went into mining the rock, building the railroad trestles and moving the rock to build the jetties that we take for granted today.

Megan Lawrence posted some good news on Facebook Sunday about her husband, Kyle, who had been critically injured in a vehicle crash two weeks earlier south of Bandon, during a hail storm. Their three-year-old daughter Ella was in the back seat and thankfully was not injured.

He was life-flighted to OHSU in Portland, where he has been receiving the care he needs.

"Kyle is to be discharged from OHSU tomorrow (Monday, April 25). He will continue therapies and wound care locally/at home and will continue to use a walker for the next several weeks while his ankle heals, but he continues to beat the odds and gets stronger every day.

We're beyond grateful for the medical care Kyle has received in Portland, but there really is no place like home," Megan said.

---------------------------------------

What could only be said to be a crime spree of serious incidents in Bandon continued last week with the arrest of a 26-yearold Bandon man, Torin Mourey, for second degree murder in the shooting death of his 15-year-old half-brother, Finnian Lewis, at their Harvard Street Apartments home shortly before 11 a.m. on April 20.

After being taken to Southern Coos Hospital for a blood-alcohol test, he was taken to Coquille where he remains lodged in jail.

People reading this on Monday are reminded that the chamber is hosting a candidates forum for county commissioner candidates Tuesday, April 26, beginning at 6:30 at The Barn.

Photos contributed by the Mary Schamehorn collection

Taken in 1897, as work progressed on the building of the South Jetty.

The third was taken during work on the North Jetty. I am not sure the date of the third photo, but on the back it says the trolley is headed out to the end of the North Jetty.

The trolley carried rock in making the jetties. In the foreground you can see the United States Life Savings crew possibly on a training mission in the river.

I was sorry to learn of the death of Curry County native, author and former long-time Coquille City Manager Patti Boice Strain, who died April 16 at the age of 87. She made her home in Myrtle Point.

She and her late husband Hal Strain, who died in 2017, were instrumental in founding the Coquille Valley Historical Society.

Several years ago she authored a 766-page book titled "Floras Creek Precinct and the Boice Family of Curry County," a copy of which I was fortunate to have been gifted by her because she knew of my love of history.

I also heard that a former resident Mary Matney Bray (formerly Pettitt) died April 15 in Corvallis at the age of 79. While in Bandon, she served on the Bandon school board and was mother to nine children.

Graveside services were held April 23 at Lawn Memorial in Corvallis.

It's been announced that the theme for the 76th Bandon Cranberry Festival, set for Sept. 9-11, is Cranberry Country Jubilee. The primary sponsor is Rogue Credit Union.

Another event guaranteed to bring a number of people into the community is the All-School Reunion set for Saturday, Aug. 6, from noon to 4 at the high school gym. Other classes, including my class (1957), plan to get together that weekend, as well.

a.m. to 1 p.m. at City Park, with entertainment, food and speakers.

Don't forget that the annual brush and yard debris removal starts Monday, June 13. People are allowed a maximum of 5 cubic yards (approximately two pickup loads) at no cost. Place your yard debris in the right of way along the street before June 13.

A person who lives in the Two Mile area posted this week that someone had attempted to break in to their property, and at some point had broken the motion detector light and removed it. But the message was that someone had been on their property who was not supposed to be there and people in that area need to be vigilant.

Fabulous is the only way to describe the Bandon Showcase concert featuring pianist Tien Hsieh, at the Sprague theater Friday night. Her long standing ovation expressed how much the audience loved her performance and unless you were there, like I was, it would be hard to describe.

Not only was the concert wonderful, but it was so great to mingle with friends after a two-year COVID hiatus.

The World

FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 2022 | theworldlink.com

Coquille picks up another one-run win The World Coquille’s baseball team has been making a living on one-run wins in the Sunset Conference.

The Red Devils won at Toledo 10-9 on Tuesday, their second one-run win over the Boomers and their third straight and fourth overall in league play.

Coquille improved to 6-2 heading into five straight home games — against Waldport on Thursday, Bandon and Reedsport next Tuesday and Friday and Siletz Valley and Gold Beach the following Tuesday and Friday.

The two league losses came against Bandon, which is unbeaten in league play, and Reedsport, which is 5-2. Toledo is 4-4 and Gold Beach 3-3.

BANDON 7, WALDPORT 2: The Tigers beat the Irish to improve to 7-0 in league play, on the strength of strong pitching

by Danny Cabrera and Conner Devine. Cabrera pitched the first

five innings in the victory.

Dylan Kamph had a two-run single for the Tigers.

The win came after a 4-3 loss to Glide a day earlier in a good nonleague game against another top Class 2A-1A squad.

“We out-hit them and pitched well with Colton Siewell throwing four innings and Chris Butler three,” Bandon coach Jay Ferrell said.

“We need to find some timely hitting, two-out hits and getting bunts down,” Ferrell said, looking ahead to big games at Reedsport on Friday and Coquille next week.

Nice weather should help.

“Outside practice after the last two weeks will certainly help us out on both sides of the ball,” he said.

MARSHFIELD 11, SIUSLAW 4: The Pirates won for the fourth straight outing, beating the Vikings at home on Tuesday to move to 5-2 in Sky-Em League play.

Dom Montiel had a three-run triple and also pitched the final inning, striking out all three Vikings to clinch the win. Drake Rogers, DJ Daugherty and Ryder Easton also pitched in the win for Marshfield.

Joe Herbert had two hits, two runs and an RBI and Rogers had two runs and an RBI. Daugherty also scored two runs and Cobin Bouska drove in two.

The Pirates visit Cottage Grove on Friday for a doubleheader before hosting league-leading Marist Catholic next Tuesday.

SOFTBALL NORTH BEND 7, CHURCHILL 6: The Bulldogs built off the momentum of a weekend sweep over Churchill by beating the Lancers again in a nonleague game at home on Tuesday. It was North Bend’s fourth straight win.

The Lancers scored three runs in the first and led 5-2 in the fourth, when North Bend rallied with five

runs to go in front for good.

Emma Spalding had two hits, two runs and two RBIs; Sarah Shore had a single and a double, a run and two RBIs; Mia Reynon added three hits and an RBI and Allyson Moore scored twice for the Bulldogs, who had nine hits in all in the win.

“Churchill had their No. 1 pitcher this time, so it was a good, tough-played game by both teams,” North Bend coach John Olson said. “I am really proud of the girls and how much they are improving.”

The Bulldogs have a league doubleheader at Willamette on Saturday and host the Wolverines for a nonleague game next Tuesday.

MARSHFIELD 16, SIUSLAW 1: The Pirates made it four wins in a row by dominating the visiting Vikings in a Sky-Em League game Tuesday.

Gracie Peach had a single and double, drove in three runs and

scored twice for the Pirates in the win.

Jayla Johnson had three runs and Kaylie Bynum, Makenna Johnson, Paige Reigard and Alaina Sullivan all scored twice for Marshfield, which benefitted from eight walks by the Vikings.

Reigard also drove in three runs and Paige Macduff two.

The Pirates visit Cottage Grove for a doubleheader Friday and host Marist Catholic on Tuesday.

BANDON 12, WALDPORT 0: The Tigers added another dominant win to their league tally, beating the visiting Irish on Tuesday for their sixth league victory by double digits, offset by their lone setback, 5-3 to unbeaten Toledo, which has not allowed a run in any of its other league games.

Bandon gets another shot at the Boomers next Friday, after visiting Reedsport this Friday and Coquille on Tuesday.

SWOCC softball team rebounds with doubleheader sweep The World The Southwestern Oregon Community College softball team bounced back quick from a league setback in the second game of a doubleheader against Mount Hood to sweep Clackamas over the weekend, improving to 29-5 overall and maintaining its spot atop the RPI rankings for the NWAC. The Lakers had split their doubleheader with Mount Hood, winning the opener 10-2 and losing in the nightcap 11-6. But they dominated Clackamas 5-1 and 14-3.

Brittany Bye, Alyssa Smokey and Hannah Tennant all hit home runs in the opening win and Smokey drove in three runs while Bye scored two. Smokey also pitched a complete-game three-hitter in the win with seven strikeouts.

In the second win, the Lakers slugged 12 hits, including home runs by Bye and Alapese Matautia. Bye and Samantha

Mansfield each drove in four runs and Matautia three and Katelynn Evans had two hits and scored three runs.

Mansfield, who had three hits, had two runs and Carissa Andrews had two hits and two runs and Joslyn Soinnila also came across the plate twice. Soinnila also picked up the win in the circle, pitching all five innings.

The Lakers also won three of four games in a key nonleague showcase event in Yakima, Wash., beating Yakima Valley (10-9), North Idaho (11-4) and Spokane (17-7) while losing to Everett (11-9).

SWOCC is 12-2 in NWAC South Region play, while Lower Columbia is 9-3 and Mount Hood 10-4. The Lakers were at Clark for a doubleheader Wednesday and Mount Hood on Thursday (results were not available by press time).

Walla Walla is second behind the Lakers in the RPI rankings, both of its losses coming to SWOCC. Lower Columbia is

third and Bellevue fourth, followed by three more South Region squads — Mount Hood, Clackamas and Chemeketa. The rankings will help set the field and seedings for the season-ending tournament.

BASEBALL SWOCC’s baseball team is in the middle of the pack in the tough South Region heading into the home stretch.

Lane, ranked No. 1 in the coaches poll, leads the way at 12-4, followed by Linn-Benton and Umpqua (both 11-5) and Mount Hood (10-6). The Lakers, Clark and Chemeketa all are 6-10.

SWOCC split its four games with Mount Hood on Saturday and Sunday, winning 5-2 and 6-5 and losing 9-0 and 6-2.

Against both Lane and Linn-Benton, SWOCC went 1-3, though all four games against the Roadrunners were close.

In the first win against Mount Hood, Bula White had two runs and an RBI, Cannon Morgan drove in two runs and

Anu McCabe scored two. Both Taigo Sato and Ryan Cooper had two hits.

Dallas McGill picked up the win in relief of starter Zach Elsos, pitching 2 1-3 scoreless innings and striking out five.

Dylan Lopez picked up the save.

The Lakers scored runs in the eighth and ninth to come from behind for the 6-5 win in Sunday’s opener.

McCabe was the hero with a game-tying homer in the eighth and the game-winning RBI on a single in the ninth to bring in Noah Sumibcay.

Sumibcay and McCabe each scored two runs in the win. Morgan and Roman Guthrie drove in runs.

Luke Miles picked up the win, pitching the final three innings in relief of Brandon Ochoa and giving up one run.

This weekend, the Lakers host Clark on Saturday and visit the Penguins on Sunday.

Next week they host Clackamas on Thursday and visit the Cougars on Saturday.

This week in Coos County history: April 29 - May 3 100 YEARS — 1922 Auto lines will extend service Gold Beach line is to open next week, probably Roseburg service planned — additional car to Coquille — Bryant is busy Geo. W. Bryant, manager of the Coast Auto Lines, announced today that plans for their summer jitney service extensions were complete.

If the weather continues fair, daily service between Bandon and Gold Beach will start early next week.

Just as soon as the snow clears from the top of the mountain, Mr. Bryant will start cars between Coquille and Roseburg via the Old Coos Bay wagon road. Just as soon as the new Myrtle Point-Roseburg road is completed, the service will be shifted to it.

New Coquille car Mr. Bryant also announces that beginning May 1, he will put on an additional car between here and Coquille. The new car will leave here at 5 o’clock and leave Coquille at 6 o’clock, hours that have been off service heretofore.

North Bend to have park day Saturday, May 6, is the date set by council Every man in the city will be asked to do his share in fixing up place.

Park Day will be held in North Bend on Saturday, May 6, by decision of the mayor and council last evening. Every man in town is asked to be there at some time during the day, if at all possible, to assist in the work of cutting underbrush, raking paths, burning debris and in every way improving the appearance of the park in preparation for the Fourth of July. This it is stated, is the best time for burning in the park.

It is suggested that all who can, bring with them axes, rakes, shovels or picks, for their own or the other fellow’s use, but whether a man has tools or not, says Mayor Loggie, he can be put to use.

Those whose duties will not allow them to help on this general work-day will be expected to send someone in their place, or contribute a day’s wages to the up-keep of the park.

The ladies of the town will be requested to furnish lunch for the men working in the park, and their co-operation in the work is quite assured.

Special care will be taken in making attractive the auto camp ground for tourists, which already has had two visitors this year from a neighboring state. A much

larger space than before is to be cleared for the camp site, and better water service installed. Tables and benches for the camp have been stored during the winter, and these will be replaced. It will be necessary to rebuild the brick oven which was constructed there last year, as mischievous boys have torn it apart. Another one will probably be built at the same time.

50 YEARS — 1972 ‘Pre’ delights Twilight crowd with 3:56.7 mile EUGENE (UPI) — Steve Prefontaine and Gerry Lindgren delighted a crowd of 5,500 Sunday with superlative performances in the annual University of Oregon Track and Field meet.

Prefontaine turned in a best ever mile of 3:56.7 while Lindgren qualified for the Olympic trials in the six mile with a time of 27:30.8.

Prefontaine’s time, incidentally, was four-tenths of a second faster than the 3:57.1 posted by Jim Ryun at the Kansas relays a day earlier.

More trees, more money for Coos timberlands As late as 1940 huge clearcutting gouges still lay raw and gaping over much of what was once some of the best local timberland in an area roughly straddling the present-day Highway 101 south of Coos Bay. By 1949 some 11,000 acres of land remained in county ownership, a pathetic reminder of the “Great Depression” and the dispossessed hundreds of landowners shoved from the land by delinquent taxes.

In the same year, the 11,000 acres was set aside and designated the “Beaver Hill County Forest.” The resolution creating the county’s first public forest was signed in July by then county Judge L.D. Felsheim and county commissioners Fred A. Kruse and Fred True.

A later resolution created “Daniels Creek County Forest” on 2,400 acres south of Delwood. Though extensively logged by the mid-1920s, the Daniels Creek Forest is expected to be under sustained yield in five years.

If the forest management program designed by Coos County Forester Ted Ellingsen continues unhampered, an estimated $500,000 annually will come from timber sales in the two county forests.

“Based on very conservative estimates,” Ellingsen explained recently “our 1980 timber harvest should reach 7 million to 10 million board feet.”

20 YEARS — 2002 These students don’t horse around Teamwork and dedication make North Bend’s drill team one of the best in the district As one might expect in an event called drill team, the athletes march onto the floor and go through a routine of coordinated movements as music blares from a stereo system.

Except in this drill team, the athletes are a lot bigger and run on four legs instead of two.

Welcome to the world of equestrian drill team, where North Bend’s squad is one of the best in Southern Oregon.

The Bulldogs stand in third place in the Southern Oregon district after two district meets and have already guaranteed a spot in the state championships going into this weekend’s final district meet in Central Point.

The seven-member North Bend squad is the only drill team among the three South Coast high schools with equestrian programs — Marshfield and Coquille are the other two — and has spent two or three evenings a week perfecting the routine, which lasts nearly six minutes.

“I think drill is an excellent team event,” said Jonathan Bates, who calls out the commands to the team during the routine. “It brings everybody together and makes us operate as one.”

Clearly, the horses and their riders are one unit, going through multiple maneuvers that include weaving among one another, running in circles, doing various square-dancing like movements and forming shapes like hearts and zippers. In some cases, the entire team moves around a flag bearer standing still in the center of the arena. In others, the entire group of riders moves in unison.

The event is a favorite for the riders, who also participate in a number of different types of equestrian events as individuals.

Lakeside featured in independent film Area residents will get the chance to see familiar places on the big screen as “Hard Luck,” an award-winning independent film shot on the South Coast opens at Pony Village Cinema tonight.

Shot in August 2001 in Lakeside, Gold Beach, Brookings, Ashland, along U.S. Highway 101 and in Los Angeles, “Hard Luck” is the story of Lucky O’Donnell’s journey to reunite Eric, his dying friend,

with Tenmile Lake, where they both spent summers in their youth. There is also a running love story between “Lucky” and Sheryl, Eric’s sister, as well as a fist fight and a gun fight.

When Los Angeles-based writer and actor Kirk Harris told his cousins he was returning to his old stomping grounds along the Southern Oregon Coast to film the movie, they were happy to help.

Harris’ cousin, Rodney Kuykendall, runs Wave.Net, an Internet service provider in Medford, with his brothers Jason Kuykendall and Tyler Wells. The company co-produced the film with FilmKitchen.com, Harris’ film distribution company, run by friends and family.

Shot for $42,000, the film was truly a family effort, said Kuykendall. Helping produce the film was a unique experience, both terrible and awesome, for him, he said.

Tree dedicated to memory of Marine In the light mist of an Arbor Day afternoon, family and friends of Lance Cpl. Bryan Bertrand gathered Friday in front of Blossom Gulch Elementary School in Coos Bay for the planting of a flowering cherry tree to honor the memory of the Coos Bay Marine.

The 23-year-old Bertrand died in action in Pakistan on Jan. 9 with seven other U.S. Marines, when the KC-130 refueling plane they were on crashed into a mountain.

After words from Marshfield High School Principal Arnold Roblan, the crowd looked on respectfully as Bay Area Arbor Day Celebration Committee members Steve Skinner and Neris Biciunas lowered the cherry tree into a pre-dug plot. A wooden plaque memorializing Bertrand was placed in front of the tree, which was donated by Ordway’s Nursery of Coos Bay and the South Slough National Estuarine Reserve.

When Patty Bertrand was contacted by the Arbor Day Committee about planting the tree in her son’s honor, she was very grateful.

“It was another example of how the community has done so many special things to commemorate Bryan’s life,” she said. “I was really touched and thought it was special.”

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

OBITUARIES Harvey Edsel Wofford

Richard O. Maze Jr.

January 13, 1932 – April 13, 2022

January 24, 1944 – April 6, 2022

Harvey Edsel Wofford, of Coquille, Oregon, tragically passed away April 13, 2022. He was 90 years old.

Harvey was born to William and Viola Wofford of Drumright, Oklahoma.

He was the youngest of 3 siblings.

Harvey graduated from Drumright High School in 1950, and received his degree from University of Oklahoma in Geophysics.

He enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he served in the Korean War, making rank to Corporal. When he returned to the states, dad’s duties were transferred to Active Army Reserve under Universal Military Training, Artillery in 1954 and continued until he was Honorably Discharged in September, 1960.

Harvey returned to Oklahoma to try his hand in the restaurant business.

He bought and operated The 33 Club, where he met Joan Marie Clark, in 1955. They later married, in December, 1957. After selling the business, he began working for Seismograph Services Corporation in Tulsa, Oklahoma before taking a job with National McCollum Continental, Geophysical Surveys.

While employed with NAMCO, he relocated to Africa, living in Libya, while surveying and researching throughout Egypt, Libya and Tripoli and most of Northern Africa. He always wanted to return to Egypt and his stories of Africa will be greatly missed.

Dad’s job kept him and mom on the constant move, from Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, and

Michigan before taking a job with Bureau of Land Management in Portland.

He moved his family one last time to the Oregon Coast before his retirement in 1991. He spent 30 years with BLM. After Harvey’s retirement, he stayed busy, taking a job as a park ranger. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed being able to visit with anyone who would talk to him. He was an avid fisherman and a member of the STEP fish enhancement program with ODFW. His love of fishing was known around the community. When dad wasn’t fishing, he would be in the waters retrieving fishing gear from people who lost their lines and lures to trees or snags.

His magnificently large collection was available to anyone in need of a lure or a good story.

Harvey began digging ditches, repairing and overhauling small engines and cutting loads of firewood, to help him stay active in his later years. He enjoyed interacting with people and made several friendships throughout the many years serving local businesses and families. He was passionate about his bees and would help anyone who was willing to house any of his hives. He had a wonderful gift for making homemade apple cider, garlic powder, horseradish, or anything that came from the garden. Harvey was a jokester and prankster with a quick wit and could answer every question on Jeopardy. He loved his family dearly and he will be sorely missed.

Harvey is survived by his loving wife of 64 years,

Joan Marie Wofford (Clark) of Coquille; his children, Tim Wofford (Cynthia) of Coos Bay, Charles Wofford (Ramona) of Arlington, Texas, Anthony Wofford (Veronica) of Tacoma, Washington and Jena Gardner of Coquille. His grandchildren, Timothy Wofford of Sheridan, Shawn Wofford of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Lauren Wofford of Lake Charles, Louisiana, Sonja Delarosa of Coos Bay, Ryan Wofford of Tacoma Washington, Ashley Wofford of Chehalis, Washington, Garrett Gardner and Reggie Gardner of Coquille; along with 8 great grandchildren; and 2 greatgreat grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; older brother, Emory “Lloyd” Wofford; and sister, Muriel Morris.

Our family would like to thank everyone for the outpouring of love and condolences, and a big thank you to the community of Fairview who gave their time and energy helping dad with his many projects.

The angels gathered near your side so very close to you for they knew the pain and suffering that you were going through I thought about so many things as I held tightly to your hand oh, how I wished that you were strong and happy once again But your eyes were looking homeward to that place beyond the sky where Jesus held his outstretched arms it was time to say good-bye I struggled with my selfish thoughts for I wanted you to stay so we could walk and talk again like we did, just yesterday But HE knew the answer and it was time to let you go.

A Celebration of Harvey’s life will be May 14, 2022 at 2:00 pm, at the Lone-Pine Fairview Fire Department.

Potluck to follow.

Online remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at www. westrumfuneralservice.com Arrangements are under the direction of Amling/ Schroeder Funeral Service – Coquille Chapel, 541572-2524

Richard Oliver Maze Jr., 78, of Pendleton, Oregon, passed away April 6, 2022, at his

home. He was known by many as “Bubb.”

He was born January 24, 1944, in Bakersfield, California to Richard Sr. and Dorothy Maze.

Shortly after, they moved to Hauser, Oregon. He attended grade and middle school in Hauser and high school in North Bend, Oregon.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Sherril Maze. They had two children, Jacqueline Chantelle, born in 1964 and Richard Darren, born in 1968. He also has four grandchildren,

Brittney Searcey, Logan Blackburn, Jacob Maze and Ethan Maze.

He logged for his dad and uncle in North Bend until moving to Pendleton in 1975. He started his own logging company, Superior Forest Products.

He eventually went to work for Continental Mills where he retired after 20 years. He bowled for many years and loved to play golf, where he made many wonderful friends.

Bruno is young, but he is already over 60 pounds! He’s super smart, sweet, fun, and completely housebroken. He’s a very STRONG dog, and should go to a home without small children, and needs some obedience training. He’s good with other dogs his size, and is also used to being around cats.

Penny Lane found her self homeless after her owner died, and wound up here at the Cat House. She is not happy here. She needs a quiet home with no other pets. She just wants life back the way it used to be. She doesn’t like all the other cats and is scared. She is a deva cat, so watch your hands.

Common behavioral issues that affect cats and dogs (and how to fix them) Pet ownership can be both joyous and challenging. Every pet misbehaves from time to time, but when behavior issues become part of daily life, pet owners may be wringing their hands wondering how to get to the root of the problem.

Pet owners may contribute to common behavior issues. Here’s how to recognize and address pets who need some behavior redirection.

• Scratching: Pet experts note that cats need to scratch as a way to remove the outer sheath of the nail. Scratching also is a way for cats to mark their territory in the wild. Provide plenty of safe and appropriate scratching posts so cats leave the furniture alone. Cordon off areas that are off limits or try sour sprays or other repellents.

• Resource guarding: Many pets will show aggression when they guard their possessions from others, whether it is necessary or not. Pets have evolved from wild animals that had to compete for food, mates and territories, so it’s understandable that genetics hasn’t been so quick to catch up with the modern life of pampered pets. Pet owners can opt for adopting young pets that can be hand fed early on or touched or manipulated while eating or enjoying food treats to try to prevent guarding. Older pets who exhibit signs of resource guarding may need the expertise of a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist.

• Inappropriate urination: Just when you think your dog is house trained or a cat has embraced its litter box, you may find he or she is urinating elsewhere. Physical illnesses, such as kidney issues or diabetes, could be the root of the problem. Some animals that are not neutered or spayed may

be engaging in “marking” behavior, which is spreading scent around a territory. Getting the pet fixed can alleviate the problem. Speak with a vet first to rule out certain issues.

• Barking: Barking to alert someone is at the home may be a trait people look for in a dog. But when a dog’s barking becomes excessive, it could be indicative of a behavioral issue. Dogs may learn to use barking to their benefit. Some dogs may bark to get walks, food or attention — even if it’s negative attention from a person saying “shush.” Some breeds naturally bark more than others. In such instances, barking may be reduced but not entirely eliminated. Again, a behaviorist may be able to help.

• Jumping up or overzealous greetings: Similar to barking, some pets greet all visitors to the home (or outside) by jumping up on people. This can be annoying and even dangerous if a big animal jumps on a small person. Reward calm behavior by only giving attention to the pet after he or she calms down. Lavishing attention on an animal as soon as you come home while it is jumping up sets a bad precedent and can lead to a jumping problem.

These are a few common pet behaviors pet owners may need to address to cohabitate peacefully with their animals.

Judith Ann Mogan Foundation announces 2022 Grant Cycle opening next month The Judith Ann Mogan Foundation is inviting nonprofit organizations with projects that benefit Coos, Curry and Coastal Douglas County communities to submit online a letter of interest

by May 31. The online applicants’ portal is found on the Foundation’s webpage at jamoganfoundation.org and will go live May 1.

Nonprofits and publicly funded organizations inter-

ested to apply must submit an LOI via JAMF’s online portal. The LOI phase ensures that only applicants who are eligible for JAMF grants will be invited to go through the more rigorous application stage that begins July 1 of this year and ends August 15. JAMF’s Grantmaking Committee will then review all applications and 2022 grant funds are set for distribu-

tion by November 15. More information about the types of organizations the foundation supports is found on the JAMF website.

Last year, JAMF granted close to $1.5 million to 19 organizations, funding 25 projects that benefit Southern Oregon Coast communities. It hopes to grant another $1.5 million in 2022.

All 2021 funded projects supported one or more

of the foundation’s six identified priority areas for funding: Children & Youth Development, Forestry & Wood Products Support & Research, Enhancing Community Health Services, Poverty Alleviation, Business & Economic Development, and Convening & Gathering Places. For 2022, the JAMF Board announced that in addition to last year’s six priority

areas, grant funds will also be available to projects that promote Arts & Culture, and Healthy & Productive Environment.

Founded in 2020 through the generosity of Judith Ann Mogan and the

Al Peirce Co., LLC, the Judith Ann Mogan Foundation is a private foundation based in Coos Bay. Its mission is to develop successful citizens and vital communities on the Southern Oregon Coast.
