Council amends Urban Renewal boundary in Empire

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Coos Bay City Council formally amended the Urban Renewal Agency boundaries in the Empire District to include close to nine acres in John Topits Park to open up more funding for the construction of a new library.

The vote by the council added 8.94 acres to the Empire URA district. The change will not impact property taxes or city revenue, but it will allow the URA to spend its money to assist with the effort to build a library and new 9-1-1 center at the park.

The city is asking voters to approve a $20 million bond in the primary election this month, which will be used to build the

library. The URA change has no impact on the vote, but will free up funding if the bond passes. City Manager Rodger Craddock said if the bond fails, the city would look for a different way to pay for the construction.

During a public hearing, several members of the public spoke about the library, with some opposed and others in favor.

Keith Topits said he and his family are opposed to any changes to the park, which bears his dad’s name.

“My family has adjacent land and as owners next to that, we don’t think that land should go,” Topits said. “I also have a notice from my mother. Taking access from John Topits Park is giving up an irreplaceable piece of land. Coos Bay has been admired and complemented for

preserving such a natural area. It is a park where generations to come can learn and enjoy. Giving up this land for a building is a loss to all.”

Christine Moffett told the council she fully supported the URA change and the construction of a library.

“I stand today in strong support for amending the Empire District Urban Renewal boundaries,” she said. “The current opportunity to support the district by including this facility in the Empire Lakes District is an excellent proposal. The new library design and setting at the edge of Topits Park provides an excellent opportunity for Empire.”

Moffett said moving the library out of downtown is good for the rest of the city and especially Empire.

“Equity of resources within the Coos Bay community will be enhanced by this development,” she said. “The Empire region in Coos Bay has far fewer resources than the downtown district. This proposal is an excellent opportunity.”

One Empire resident asked the council if the change was too soon, saying if the bond failed, changing the URA boundaries was unnecessary. She asked what would happen if voters rejected the bond?

“I’m assuming then that the city’s going to look for another way to fund the library,” City Manager Rodger Craddock said. “We’ve been talking about it since 2014, about the need for a new library.”

Susan Anderson, who is working to get the bond passed, said she supports Please see URA, Page A12

Governor: State prepared to meet childcare need

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Gov. Kate Brown visited Coos County over the weekend, starting with a stop at an in-home daycare center in Coquille and ending at a memorial service for Coquille Indian Tribe Chief Don Ivy. During her opening stop, Brown visited the home of Patty Mong, who runs Patty’s House from her home in Coquille.

Mong has been licensed to run a daycare facility for six years, and has up to 10 children at her home every day.

“I love it,” Mong said. “I just love taking care of children and families. I had a large family and didn’t want to be an empty nester.”

Mong and her husband, Neal, raised six boys, and when the children grew up and left the home, Patty and Neal decided to find ways to continue to serve children.

For a while, they served as foster parents before Patty opened her daycare.

“My family has been incrediPlease see GOVERNOR, Page A11

Sweet has said “continued

Lewis: More courageous leadership is needed

By JILL BURKE For The World

Retired nurse Pam Lewis, 67, of Coquille, is one of three candidates running for Coos County Commissioner, position two. Lewis, non-partisan, faces Republicans John Sweet, the

incumbent, and challenger Cristina Bettesworth in the May 17 primary election.

In a recent interview with the World, Lewis criticized Sweet’s and co-commissioner Melissa Cribbins’ handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, including their upholding of mask man-

dates. Lewis also believes more should have been done to keep businesses thriving.

She questions the division of labor among the county’s three commissioners, whom each oversee multiple departments. “[Sweet] has six departments that he covers. The others are

covering 13 each,” Lewis said.

“He should be carrying his weight, and it doesn’t appear that he is.”

Lewis is also critical of Sweet’s voting record, which she said appears to mirror Cribbins’, and is critical of the commissionPlease see LEWIS, Page A2

Bettesworth: It’s time to tackle crime in county

Third-grade teacher Cristina Bettesworth, 40, is running for Coos County Commissioner, position two. She hopes to unseat incumbent John Sweet.

Sweet, a Republican, has held the office for ten years and faces Bettesworth, also a Republican, and Pam Lewis, nonpartisan, in

the May 17 primary election.

Reducing crime is among her top priorities.

“I think that if he [Sweet] wanted to fix this problem, it would have been done over a decade ago,” Bettesworth said in a recent interview. “I want to work for the community, so I have a better place for my neighbors, for my kids.”

Turnout for the May 17 primary election has started slow, with both Coos and Douglas counties reporting a slower start to voting than two years ago.

According to the Coos County clerk’s office, close to 2,000 voters turned in ballots in the first three days since voting began.

The clerk’s office reported 1,839 ballots have been returned by mail with another 77 ballots dropped off at the Coos County Courthouse. Through the three days, a little less than 4% of all ballots have been returned.

In Douglas County, voting has been a little faster with 4,558 ballots returned as of Wednesday.

That accounts for 5.18% of all ballots, which is 0.97% fewer than two years ago.

Voters in both counties are electing two county commissioners. In Coos County, voters are also deciding on candidates for county clerk.

Bettesworth From A1

She currently teaches at Highland Elementary School in Reedsport.

She grew up in rural Oregon, where her family operated a commercial farm. Hers is also a logging family, dating back to her great, great grandparents.

She’s also worked as a horse trainer but sold her equestrian estate and moved to Coos County, where her husband has long worked as a commer-

ers’ support of a proposed wind farm, which Lewis said is too risky for taxpayers, especially if it fails.

“If a failed investment falls on the people to pay that bill off, that’s not looking out for the people,” Lewis said.

Lewis, who had a rural upbringing in Coquille, supports conservative candidate Rod Taylor, who hopes to take the position three seat from Cribbins.

Lewis graduated from Coquille High School, married, began a family and volunteered for nearly 30 years as an EMT. She advanced her career by earning a nursing degree from Southwest Oregon Community College.

She describes herself as a hands-on problem solver who likes to be on the front lines. A woman of faith, a line in a devotional has stuck with her and shaped her life: “true religion that is pleasing to God is to take care of the widows and orphans and their distress.”

That saying motivated her and her husband to adopt nine special needs children, with Lewis advocating for all 11 of her children in the classroom and the larger community.

“We brought in nine Black children. There were some challenges, some big challenges. But my philosophy for that was, ‘It’s time for my town to grow up.’ I’m that person

cial fisherman.

“I’ve always wanted to live at the ocean, and my husband’s always been a diehard angler. So this was really a great opportunity for us to sell our farm and move over here,” Bettesworth said.

Bettesworth believes expanding the police force and increasing capacity at the jail will help lower crime by tackling more of the drug problems and domestic violence that harm the community and providing support to get

struggling individuals rehabilitated. Her goal is a safer, more stable place to live, with good-paying jobs and quality, accessible housing.

The money to fund those initiatives could come from the port, which she said is underutilized.

“We gave up control of our port. We need to get that back. As soon as we can get that back, I think we’re going to be able to get money,” Bettesworth said.

She views the port as a

that says, ‘somebody needs to do something, and I am somebody.”

While Lewis raised children, she worked as an EMT, caring for the injured and ill in significant moments of need. Later, she did the same as an emergency room nurse and a home health nurse. Caring.

Advising. Healing. Never seeking accolades, never breaking confidence.

The COVID-19 pandemic struck just as Lewis had transitioned out of the emergency room.

She spent those first few months administering COVID-19 tests and showing others how to do it.

More recently, she provided care to individuals sick with the virus and who wanted treatments unavailable in hospital settings, like Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine.

“I’ve healed, I don’t know how many people, with treatments that were not vaccines,” Lewis said. “It was under the radar because we kept our mouth shut, and we went to people’s homes, and we treated them, and they kept their mouth shut.”

Lewis describes herself as “pro-medical choice,” meaning she supports the right of people to make informed decisions for themselves about their care.

If voters elect her to office, Lewis said she’ll look at ways to give families more options for educating their children, perhaps through a county school. She’d like to see campgrounds and parks

more fully developed, the building permit process streamlined, and commissioner meetings scheduled at times more members of the public can attend.

She’d like to explore whether increased gun ownership could be an effective crime deterrent and supports developing the county’s deepwater port.

“I see it [the port] as the big fix. It gives us industry. It gives people hope,” Lewis said. “We have seven cities in the county.

It gives them all a bigger tax base so that they can develop more industry, more motels, more tourism, more everything.”

Whatever the challenge, Lewis said she’ll bring the same in-the-trenches approach to elected office as she did to her decades-long role as a first responder.

“I served in the dark of night for 30 years so that I could do CPR, rescue you from a diabetic coma, get you out of a car because you were drunk and spilled your car,” Lewis said, adding that not many people knew whom she helped or to what extent she helped them, due to healthcare privacy laws.

“I’m going to be that same kind of a commissioner. I’m going to be digging in the ditch, but I’m going to have to be transparent. I get to be transparent,” Lewis said.

“It’s a different kind of leadership. It is tactile. It is active. It is unafraid. It is courageous leadership.

And I intend to bring that to the commissioners.”

gateway to several opportunities. Internationally importers could offload goods, which could help solve some of the global shipping crisis and allow the county to get items in more efficiently. If large ships can be hauled out, the boatyard could be rehabilitated.

Finally, a well-located industrial park would attract new investment.

She’d also like to see more tourism. For example, building a dedicated pier for crabbing or capitalizing on the popularity of school sports.

“I noticed we had the state basketball playoffs here, and we saw over one million dollars infused into our economy just with tourism. It’s baseball and track season now. Why don’t our kids have extra baseball fields or a baseball complex, maybe like in Florence or Reedsport, so that we can get tourism here just through that simple act,” she said.

She’d also look to community partnerships to strengthen efforts and bring the best minds to the table to address challenges.

“We have a tremendous amount of knowledge in our local area. And I think that if we work together and we could really bring about change, we could make some good stuff happen and gain traction,” Bettesworth said.

Bettesworth said Coos County has it all: mountains to climb, fish to catch, rivers to float, oceanside campgrounds, and doing the work to improve it would go a long way.

“This place is a gem,” she said. “I moved here for a reason. This is my favorite place on the Oregon coast. If we cleaned it up, we would really have something.”

Sweet and commissioner Melissa Cribbins have said the incumbents work efficiently together and that electing new commis-

sioners could disrupt that dynamic.

For Bettesworth, it’s a weak argument for re-election.

“Congratulations to whoever wins, but they should be able to collaborate and work with peers.

That is an expectation of that position,” she said.

Bettesworth said she’s ready for the challenge of serving as commissioner.

If elected, she said she’ll give one hundred percent and believes her master’s degree in administration and prior positions on public boards have given her a good foundation for success.

“I’m not a politician.

I’m not a bureaucrat. I’m a schoolteacher at the end of the day. And I really, number one, want to see better change for the county.

This is not something that I’m seeking out to benefit from in any other way than building a better county for my kids to live in,” Bettesworth said.

after the election date.

Both counties expect to announce the first wave of returns around 8 p.m. May 17, although final results may now be known for a week or longer as a new state law requires all votes cast by election day to be counted.

public safety levy proposed in their place could be a way to capture the needed revenue.

“If we can replace those two tax levies with a public safety levy, we can shore up our public safety system with no additional tax consequences,” Sweet said.

Sweet, 82, has lived in Coos County his entire life.

He graduated from Bandon High School and holds degrees in forestry and business administration from Oregon State University. Sixty years ago, he deployed to Germany as an army artillery soldier, assigned to patrol the Czechoslovakian-German border.

Sweet agrees with Melissa Cribbins, the other incumbent commissioner facing reelection, that the

county’s three commissioners have learned to work well together. That dynamic allows the county government to function well, get things done and is worth protecting, they’ve said.

“Like most teams, if you take one component out of it, you can weaken the team,” Sweet said. “I think we have a very, very skilled board of commissioners and experience.”

Sweet points to his work experience in timber and wood products, marine transportation, and agriculture, important industries to the county’s economy.

And he said his work with philanthropic organizations has kept him involved with social issues and civic affairs. In addition, through his terms on the boards of two banks, he learned gained finance and investment experience.

Sweet said during his tenure that the county has moved its public health and mental health departments into a modern building at no cost to taxpayers; solid waste services now operates on a surplus and is self-funding, where before it was taking $400,000 of taxpayer money to operate; a public safety levy surcharge at Bandon Dunes brought $1 million into the county, money that helped the county maintain operations at the jail; the county has established a hearings officer for minor violations to help relieve pressure on the courts; and, the county is looking within existing budgets to fund a county deputy assigned to code enforcement.

“I would think the experience we have and the track record we have far outweighs any call for new blood,” Sweet said.

public safety needs are numerous, and that understaffing in the prosecutor’s office and jail, and a lack of jail capacity, are part of the problem.

“As a result of the lack of prosecution and jail space, there are just certain crimes that go unpunished, Sweet said. “If you’re not able to prosecute or incarcerate, there are few deterrents.”

He’s exploring a way to bring in more funding to address those needs without a hit to taxpayers. Two levies - one for the county gas pipeline and one for the emergency radio communication system - are due to sunset in the next few years. Sweet believes a

Letters to the Editor Convenient group Whenever the abortion issue pops up, I like to point out this quote by American Pastor Dave Barnhart: “The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for.

They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants?

The sick? The poor? Widows?

Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.”

Methodist Pastor David Barnhart Coquille No nuclear The proposed Coos Bay offshore wind site overlaps with historic “Operation Desktop” underwater missile silo sites. This was a highly-classified coldwar seafloor-based antiballistic nuclear missile system greenlit

by Nixon and built by Summa corporation.

It violated the ABM treaty and encroached on the Seabed Arms Control Treaty. California-based Naval Electromagnetic command and control testing led to a wave of significant Coos Bay and Eugene health problems in March 1978, as both cities found themselves inundated with microwave radiation.

A problem with offshore industrial activity such as wind farm construction or oil rig drilling is it can act as the cover story for installation and/or refurbishment of seabed missile silos and weapons systems. I urge the Interior department to add an arms control inspection protocol to the Coos Bay proposal so that the region does not get painted as a nuclear target.

Thomas Busse Portland No on the library $20 million for a library right now is not what this community needs. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but brick and mortar libraries are not where the world is going.

Is it for the kids? Well no, they have their schools and enormous internet resources. So it’s not for the kids then who?

I’ll tell you who. Read the tiny sentence on the ballot referring to “emergency sheltering” and you can figure out who’s going to be there on a cold winter day and it isn’t the kids. $20 million to build and god only knows how much to operate annually. Brick and mortar libraries are obsolete for learning.

Times have moved on and here we are nagging the hard working folks of the city again just like our last bond which is barely paid off to fix the old library.

Then there’s the gas pipeline bond. How many times will we be fooled?

John Chaplin Coos Bay We need a clerk who understands county government In the race for County Clerk, it’s important to select the candidate who knows the job and is most able to run the office fairly.

At a recent forum, the only candidate who showed a detailed understanding of the job and how elections are conducted was Julie Brecke. She’s done her

research and she exhibited the best understanding of the job.

Diane Rich proved in detail she doesn’t have the same level of understanding in her recent letter to the editor decrying two of the commissioners for their selection of an interim clerk.

First, the person selected to fill the interim position is a 20-year veteran of the Coos County Clerk’s Office. I didn’t see anybody else on the list of candidates who seemed to share that level of experience. The person had retired from the office, chose to spend her time with the local Democratic Party and resigned that position immediately upon finding out she had been selected to hold the interim clerk position, which she came out of retirement to fill for one year. I have every faith that she will run fair elections; she’s been doing it for decades. These conspiracy theories of partisanship are intriguing, given that Rich herself has her signs plastered outside the Republican Headquarters. If partisanship is a problem, Rich should look in the mirror.

The vote to appoint the interim clerk was conducted by all three commissioners, whose job it is to make that appointment. The interim clerk was unanimously appointed by a majority Republican Coos County Commission.

Rich’s call for two of the commissioners to recuse themselves again demonstrates a lack of knowledge of how county government works. Had two commissioners recused themselves, there could be no quorum and therefore no appointment at all. Just one commissioner can’t make a decision like that unilaterally. We need a clerk who understands how government works, and that’s Julie Brecke.

I urge you to vote for Julie Brecke for County Clerk. She’s non-partisan and knows the job better than her competition.

Crystal Davison Coos Bay Thank you, thank you Waste Connections A few weeks ago a tree fell down across Minnesota Avenue. I heard chain saws about 10 at night so I got dressed and walked down the road to my lower lot. Two neighbor guys were cutting up a tree that was completely blocking the road.

The next day I saw that most of the wood was gone but lots of branches on both sides of the road were still there.

I remembered that Waste Connections had picked up yard debris in the spring but mostly they expected the debris to be in small piles neatly arranged. I also didn’t know if I had already missed the pickup date.

Sunday afternoon, May 1, we came home from a church event to find that Waste Connections had picked up the branches and leftover wood on both sides of the road and hauled it away.

Fantastic. Thank you, Waste Connections. You saved my 80-year old back from using my pruning saw to cut up and stack all the branches for your pick up in the Englewood area.

Ray Lee Coos Bay I support Brecke I am writing today to endorse Julie Brecke for Coos County Clerk.

I first met Julie when she was growing up in Allegany. After graduating from Marshfield, she earned her A.A. from Southwestern Oregon Community College, her B.S. in Education from Eastern Oregon University, and her M.S. in Education from Southern Oregon University. She brought those credentials back to her hometown and has taught at North Bend Middle School for the last 14 years. Her experience as a veteran teacher who is responsible for accurate record keeping, being well organized, applying policies and law to preparing student IEPs, and her classroom management skills have prepared her well.

Julie is raising her son here, and together they avidly enjoy all the activities Coos County has to offer. Whether riding horses, hiking, fishing, or mushrooming… the list is endless,

Guest Column

Mature and old growth and the need to maintain current land use plans

By TIM FREEMAN In April, President Biden issued an Executive Order for the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to develop policies to institutionalize “climate smart” conservation strategies that address threats to mature and old growth forests. Senators Wyden and Merkley and Representative DeFazio in a letter asked the Secretaries to “protect and restore old growth forests” and “to protect other carbon-rich mature forests”. This request is nearly identical to a lobbying campaign led by Earth Justice and a whole host of other special interest organizations with a long history of fighting against sound management on Federal forests. The actions by President Biden and requests by our Senators and Representative ought to be viewed in light of the most current management plans adopted by the Agencies.

Unfortunately, there are no updated management plans. For decades the Agencies have not maintained or updated land use plans as required by law. The Federal planning process under the National Environmental Policy Act requires Agencies to formally analyze the environmental impacts, trade-offs, and alternatives for any proposed major Federal actions that would

significantly affect the quality of the human environment.

This allows the public, state, county, and tribal governments to provide input. Once a land management plan is finalized it serves as a basis to gauge agency performance and progress on attainment of goals. The obsolescence of the plans in place for both the Forest Service and the BLM make it impossible to gauge the Agencies performance and layering new goals onto outdated plans only further muddies the water.

In western Oregon the Forest Service has not revised plans that date back to the 1980s. The BLM has revised its plans but they have been found by the Federal court in D.C. to violate the law requiring sustained yield management. BLM has been ordered to revise their plans but has not even started the planning process. Over the last 30 years the layering of restrictions under the Northwest Forest Plan, spotted owl recovery plan, and critical habitat designations has confounded the sustained yield and multiple use requirements for the Agencies. The Federal government has lost sight how to use sustained yield management to simultaneously provide for multiple forest values, including older forest.

The Agencies face a constant barrage of attacks from special interest groups, which has caused them to avoid sound management practices. Hundreds of thousands of acres of mature forest were killed on Federal land in Oregon by the 2020 fires. The Forest Service did not even attempt to recover economic value from billions of board feet burned in the 2020 fires out of fear of litigation.

These decisions not to salvage after fire waste a multi-billion dollar asset and have social impacts. In the long term there

will be future re-burns of the standing dead timber and in the short term the dangerous dead snags hamper successful reforestation efforts. Special interest organizations have filed lawsuits to halt even a very limited economic recovery from the 2020 fires.

Congress is sending hundreds of millions of dollars to the agencies to improve fire resiliency. How can the public gauge whether the Agencies are effectively using these public dollars in the absence of current management plans that would provide context?

The BLM’s obsolete plans are precluding salvage on 50,000 acres of standing dead mature forest. Plans are supposed to provide the public a yardstick to gauge performance, but the BLM’s performance must be judged against standards in plans that have been declared illegal.

This obsolescence cries out for prompt action by the Agencies to update their plans, but they seem content to mosey along at the business-as-usual snail’s pace.

Asking the Agencies to take years to make policy choices on the single issue of providing older forest does not recognize that forests are dynamic and the multiple values are interconnected and affect people. The 2020 fires creating landscapes of standing dead forest demonstrate the fallacy of “protection” by placing them in fixed reserves.

Asking the Agencies to add on more layers of protection for older forest is sidestepping the very laws Congress established for how the Federal agencies make land use decisions and ignores the fundamental need for current agency land use plans.

Tim Freeman – Douglas County Commissioner and President of the Association of O&C Counties

Letters to the Editor you are likely to run into her engaged in any one of these activities. She is also a member of the local chapter of Zonta and doesn’t hesitate to pitch in as a volunteer where she sees an opportunity to make a difference.

She truly is a daughter of Coos County.

Most importantly, Julie has proven herself to be an honest and hard-working member of our community. Being an effective County Clerk requires leadership, diligence, and transparency.

Just as a classroom teacher must be unbiased and fair, so must the County Clerk.

Keeping the machinery of our voting process functioning smoothly and efficiently may

not be a glamorous job, but it is critical to the success of our democracy. I’m confident in Julie’s passion for making her community a better place, and in her ability to listen to the needs and concerns of her Coos County neighbors from a perspective of neutrality.

Julie has my vote for Coos County Clerk. I hope she will have yours as well.

Caddy McKeown Coos Bay Vote no on library bond While a new library is a desirable and worthy investment, sacrificing a large portion of one of our finest city parks to accommodate the library and police

call center is a short-sighted and destructive plan.

There are suitable properties in the more convenient downtown area, which is where a public library belongs. If it must be located in the Empire district, why not purchase one (or more) of the many derelict properties on and around Newmark and make an improvement to the neighborhood, rather than encroach on our beautiful greenspace in John Topits Park?

There seems to have been a rush to get this bond on the ballot before thoroughly considering the location options. Please join me in voting NO on this bond proposal.

COUPLE RECONNECTS BUT CAN’T REKINDLE THE PAST THEY HAD DEAR ABBY: I met a man, “Gabe,” 30 years ago. We had a very good time together. We dated some and even traveled occasionally. I liked him a lot but, when we met, I was divorced and looking for marriage. He was not. I moved for my job, and met and married someone else. Gabe did call to keep in touch for several years, but the calls stopped.

I never forgot him.

My husband passed away four years ago, and then COVID hit. Feeling the loneliness of lockdown, I wrote letters to people I hadn’t heard from in years. Gabe’s was one such letter. He called me after he received it, and we reconnected. We have enjoyed each other’s company off and on since then.

I would love to have a deeper relationship with him.

Unfortunately, he regards me as nothing more than a friend.

He is intelligent, quick-witted, well-traveled and still very handsome. I enjoy his company very much. I’ve wanted to tell him how I feel, but I don’t want to jeopardize what we have together. So here I am, now in my 60s, feeling lost and not knowing how to handle my desire to be with him. What do you think? -- LONG HISTORY IN FLORIDA DEAR HISTORY: If you are looking for more than you already have with Gabe, you are wasting your time. Gabe is satisfied with the relationship just as it is. If he wasn’t, believe me, he would have mentioned it. If what you need is someone to “nest” with, you will have to look elsewhere.

Sorry, he isn’t it.

DEAR ABBY: I am contemplating asking my wife for a divorce. Her 86-year-old mother lives with us. After she moved in, I quickly realized that her mother is a bigot, nosy and has little to no respect for my wife. I could go on and on. Agreeing to her mother moving in was the worst mistake of my life. I avoid her like the plague now.

I can work from home full time, but prefer to drive 75 miles a day to get out of the house. Her mother needs more care now than can be provided at home. However, my wife wants to bring someone in a few days a week, since I no longer work from home. She’s just delaying the inevitable.

I believe her mother is more important to her than I am and, if that’s the case, I can’t change her mind. Aside from this, we have a great marriage. I don’t want to lose what I have, but I am prepared to walk away. Advice? -- HATES THE HOUSEGUEST DEAR HATES: I do have some. If assisted living is in your mother-in-law’s future, it would be kinder to have her take up residency soon, while she’s capable of adjusting to it rather than postponing it until there is an emergency.

You are long overdue for a frank and not very pleasant conversation with your wife about how you feel you rank on her list of priorities. Feeling as you do, it may be your only chance of saving your marriage.

North Bend girls look ahead to tennis districts

By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COOS BAY — North Bend girls tennis coach Corey Goll said his team this year is a rarity.

The Bulldogs are loaded with seniors, and not just seniors, players who have been in the program throughout their high school careers.

“This group has stayed together,” Goll said, adding that just that fact is impressive given that the group’s sophomore year was lost to the COVID-19 pandemic and the junior season was shortened for the same reason.

“Before (this group) I probably only had three,” Goll said of players who have stayed with the program.

The Bulldogs host the Midwestern League district tournament this week on Thursday and Friday, hoping to advance as many players as possible to next week’s Class 5A state tournament.

Goll likes the chances for several players to advance.

“The level of potential in this group is through the roof,” he said.

The top four singles players and top four doubles teams advance to state.

Adrianna Frank and Olivia Knutson are the top seeded doubles team entering the district tournament after dominating throughout the league season.

That included a 6-0, 6-0 win over Ashland’s Sofia Shelton and Talia Vivrett on Friday, when the Bulldogs wrapped up their league schedule with matches against the Grizzlies and Churchill at the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon’s William J. Sweet Memorial Tennis Center. Shelton and Vivrett are the No. 2 seeds at the district tournament.

North Bend beat the Grizzlies in three of the five contested matches and beat Churchill in

District track meets are this week The World Spots in the upcoming state track meet will be on the line this week when the various leagues and special districts around the state hold their district competitions.

In all the leagues, the top two finishers in each event advance to the state meet.

Others will advance by reaching the automatic qualifying standard for their events or by receiving wild-card berths by having the best marks within their classifications among those who don’t automatically qualify for state.

The state track meet will be held at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field next Thursday through Saturday.

The Class 3A, 2A and 1A divisions take center stage Thursday with some field events finals and qualifying rounds for most running events.

The Class 6A, 5A and 4A divisions will be in action Friday morning, followed by the finals for the smaller classifications in the late afternoon and evening.

Competition Saturday will feature the finals for the bigger three divisions.

None of this week’s district meets will be held on the South Coast.

North Bend and the rest of the Class 5A Midwestern League will compete for titles at Eagle Point High School on Friday and Saturday.

Marshfield, Siuslaw and the Class 4A Sky-Em League will be at Junction City High School the same two days.

At the same time, Coquille, Bandon, Gold Beach and Myrtle Point will join the rest of Class 2A District 4 competing at Hidden Valley High School on Friday and Saturday.

Reedsport, which is part of Class 2A District 3, will be in action at Glide High School on Saturday and Powers and Pacific will join the rest of Class 1A District 2 at Gilchrist High School on Friday.

Marshfield softball team bolsters second place in Sky-Em League standings The World While most of the baseball and softball games on the South Coast during the latter part of last week were postponed, Marshfield’s softball team picked up a pair of big wins, sweeping Cottage Grove 10-0 and 18-1 to near a guaranteed home game in the Class 4A play-in round.

The two wins gave the Pirates a 7-3 record overall and twogame lead on both Junction City and Elmira in the race for second place in the Sky-Em League.

Marist Catholic handed

Marshfield all three of its losses and the Pirates can secure second place with a strong finish including a rescheduled doubleheader at Elmira on Mapleton and a game at Junction City on Tuesday. The Pirates finish the league season with a doubleheader at Siuslaw on Friday before facing North Bend in a nonleague game May 16.

Marshfield already owns the tiebreaker against Junction City by virtue of its sweep of the Tigers in a doubleheader back on April 22. A split against Elmira would ensure the tiebreaker

against the Falcons as well.

BASEBALL Marshfield’s baseball team still has work to do to finish second in the Sky-Em League and get a home game in the Class 4A playin round after Junction City took two of its three games against Marist Catholic last week.

The Pirates fell to Marist Catholic in eight innings last Tuesday, but Junction City beat the Spartans 7-6 in eight innings on Wednesday and split a doubleheader Friday, falling 10-0 and winning 4-3.

That left Marist Catholic in

first place at 9-2 and Junction City at 9-3 with Marshfield at 7-3 pending a doubleheader against Elmira at home on Monday (results were not available by press time).

The Pirates, who swept a doubleheader against Junction City on April 22, visit the Tigers on Tuesday before finishing the league season at Siuslaw for a doubleheader Friday.

Marshfield owns the tiebreaker against Junction City, but may need to beat the Tigers again since the Pirates lost all three of their games to Marist Catholic.

OSAA approves final plans for upcoming football, cross country seasons When Marshfield and North Bend are reunited in the same football league next fall, they will be joined with a brand new set of teams.

The Oregon School Activities Association’s Executive Board approved the recommendations of the football ad-hoc committee last week, including new league alignments for football and a major switch for smaller schools.

Though Marshfield and North Bend will be part of the Sky-Em League for other team sports, for football they will be in a district with the three Klamath Falls-area schools — Henley, Mazama and Klamath Union — as well as Hidden Valley of Grants Pass.

The seventh team in the league, tentatively called the “Big Sky Conference,” will be Ashland, a Class 5A school that plays down to the Class 4A level for football.

There will be five Class 4A leagues, with the top three teams from each league advancing to the playoffs, along with the fourth-place team from the Big Sky or Oregon West Conference ranked highest in the power rankings.

The Oregon West Conference includes Sky-Em members Cottage Grove, Marist Catholic and

Junction City, along with Cascade, Philomath, Sweet Home and Stayton.

Coquille, which won the Class 2A state title last fall, moves back up to Class 3A this year and will be in the 10-team Far West League for football, along with Brookings-Harbor, Cascade Christian, Douglas, Lakeview, North Valley, Phoenix, St. Mary’s, Sutherlin and South Umpqua, which lost to Siuslaw in the Class 3A title game last fall, the same day Coquille and Marshfield (Class 4A) were champions.

Siuslaw will be part of the Mountain Valley Conference with Creswell, Elmira, Harrisburg, La Pine, Pleasant Hill and Sisters.

Four teams from the Far West League will make the playoffs and three from the Mountain Valley Conference, as well as the Coastal Range and PacWest conferences. The five-team Eastern Oregon League will get two playoff spots. One team will be chosen through the power rankings.

While Marshfield, North Bend and Coquille are with new league foes, the schools in Class 2A face a major fundamental change for football, switching from the 11-

man to the nine-man format.

Class 2A schools were given the chance to play up to Class 3A and continue playing 11-man.

Only Kennedy, which lost to Coquille in the championship game, and Salem Academy have opted to do so.

Bandon, Gold Beach and Reedsport will be in the Class 2A Southern Conference, along with Illinois Valley, Oakland, a combined North Douglas/Yoncalla team and Glide and Rogue River, two Class 3A schools that will play down for football. Each of the five Class 2A leagues gets three playoff teams, with one additional team chosen through the power rankings.

Myrtle Point will be in the Class 1A eight-man District 1, which will get four playoff teams.

For the first time, there also will be a formal state championship structure for the Class 1A schools that play six-man football, a group that includes Powers. Five of the 14 teams from the Powers league will be in the playoffs, along with three of the nine teams in the other league.

There also was a change at the Class 6A level. Starting this fall, that classification will have

two 16-team brackets which will have their championship games the same day as the other classifications. The league champions will all be in the top bracket, along with the next 10 teams in the power rankings. The second 16-team bracket will include the next 16 teams in the rankings.

Another significant decision by the OSAA Executive Board was finalizing the cross country special districts for next fall.

With Siuslaw among schools dropping down to Class 3A, there was talk about having a Class 3A division for the girls and a separate Class 2A-1A division, which has been the format for boys the past few years.

Ultimately, the Executive Board followed the Championship Committee’s recommendation and decided to continue with a class 3A-2A-1A girls division, which means defending state champion Bandon will be in the same cross country district with Siuslaw, which won the Class 4A title last fall. Valley Catholic, which placed fifth in Class 4A last fall, also drops down to Class 3A this year.

bly supportive,” Patty said.

“My husband, Neal, jumps in and helps with what I need.”

Brown visited to highlight the need for more child care in Oregon as well as to highlight the Baby Promises program that Patty uses.

Baby Promises is a federally-funded pilot program that is being piloted in Oregon. Three regions of the state are involved, and Patty has been a part since it kicked off two years ago.

Patty said Baby Promises provides her with a stable income by paying the childcare needs for low-income families, but it does much more.

The program has allowed Patty to do environmental enhancements in her home, has offered training and has even purchased supplies, including high-quality toys, the children use.

“I’m part of the Baby Promises program and Savannah is one of my Baby Promises children,” Patty said. “I love what I do.”

While Baby Promises is effective and popular, it is also limited. In the region, only 34 slots are available for providers. The majority of those are filled by teachers who offer after-school care.

“You are deeply needed here,” Brown told Patty.

“My understanding is only 9% of families that need daycare, baby care and child care find providers here.”

Patty agreed, saying the hardest part of her job is having to tell desperate families she can’t take anymore children.

“What can the state do to support caregivers like you?” Brown asked Patty.

“Well, funding is always

good,” Patty said.

“We have a $100 million program but you can’t have it all,” Brown responded with a laugh.

The bottom line, the two women agreed, was Coos County and the state need more people offering childcare.

“We need more providers,” Patty said. “It’s not a competition. We just need more to go around. There’s not an easy answer.”

Before she left Patty’s House, Brown signed a proclamation declaring May 6 as Provider Appreciation Day. “I want to say thank you to all of you for your hard work,” Brown said about the providers and those who help them. “I know we need to increase our capacity in Oregon. I also know for parents, children to excel we need to do more, and we’re going to do better.”

URA From A1

the move to Topits Park and believes a library will benefit the park instead of harming it.

“I have been a fervent user of Topits Park since I moved here 22 years ago,” Anderson said. “I would not support anything that would hurt the park. If this passes, we are not stopping fishing, we are not closing the park. We are not destroying the forest. In fact, if the library passes, there will probably be more trees there than there are now.”

Robert Moore said he also supports the library site in Topits Park.

“The library site itself is two acres out of a 200 acre park,” Moore said. “The library site will impact 1% of the acreage of the park.

All the access trails will be maintained. People will not lose any access whatsoever. In fact, access will be improved when they expand and modify the parking lot.”

Another speaker said he didn’t understand the need for a new library. He said the money would be better spent on fixing the roads and getting the homeless

This actually enhances and improves some of the pathways.

“The concerns for safety and security will be addressed. I think this is an improvement that’s needed for our entire community.

That 9-1-1 center will have 24-hour staffing and security which will improve the park.”

Council President Rob Miles said the city has been looking for a site for many years and it is now time to act.

“This has been going on since 2014,” Miles said.

“There was an exhaustive search for a site downtown, and we don’t have time to keep looking for a site that isn’t there. The current library has about a two- to four-year lifespan, and if the library goes away that’s going to be disappointing to me. In my opinion, it’s going to enhance the park greatly. It’s just time.

We’ve run out of time and we need to build a new library.”

The council then voted to amend the URA District.

19-year-old Austin Wellborne told the council moving the library to Topits Park could hurt the young people who use it.

“Where the library sits right now, we can upgrade it,” he said. “All the students who are low-income and don’t have computers, they can walk down to the library instead of spending money and gas. Empire Lakes, I won’t walk there by myself. I’ve cleaned up homeless camps. Why move it to a location where youth are vulnerable?”

After hearing from the public, the council explained the decision to build in Topits Park.

“Right off the bat, when this project came to council, the majority of councilors were concerned that we didn’t change the feel of the park,” Councilor Stephanie Kilmer said.

“It is a natural area. I’ve lived in this community pretty much all my life and was a frequent visitor to the library downtown. But as a teenager and college student, I accessed Topits Park. What the city has done to clean up there is wonderful. This was a concern of council that we don’t change that area.
