Coos County won’t move to high-risk level By ZACK DEMARS The World

Coos County won’t see any changes in COVID-19 restrictions this week, despite recent increases in virus cases. Under case data released by the Oregon Health Authority Tuesday,

Coos County was the only in the state on track to see new restrictions next week — but that won’t happen, yet. Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced she would be imposing a two-week cautionary period for Coos County, leaving it in the moderate-risk level of restrictions

According to state data Tuesday, the county reported 124.8 cases of the virus per 100,000 in population over the previous two weeks, and a test positivity rate of 3.9%. Both rates are the highest the county’s reported in several weeks and would qualify the county for high-risk restrictions without the

governor’s pause. “Because Coos County recently improved in risk level (from High to Moderate)—and because recent upticks in cases can be traced back to specific sources (rather than being reflective of community spread) — we assigned them a twoweek caution period as had been

our practice prior to the most recent statewide surge,” wrote Liz Merah, a spokesperson for the governor’s office, in an email. “This caution period, coupled with continued vaccination efforts, will give the county time to drive

Lifelong Oregonian reflects on 103 years ZACK DEMARS The World

As COVID-19 wanes, Gladys Johnston is celebrating living through her second pandemic. Born in Molalla, Oregon, during the middle of the 1918 Flu Pandemic, Johnston and her family will celebrate her 103rd birthday Saturday. She credits her longevity to one thing: “Stay active. It’s got some-

thing to do with it,” Johnston said Wednesday, looking over stacks of old photo albums during an interview. “I was never any one to sit around.” And if Johnston’s life story is any indication, she’s done just that. Growing up on a farm in Aurora, Oregon, Johnston finished just a year of high school before helping her father. “I helped my dad in the field because I was the oldest,” Johnston said, referring to her two brothers,

Harley and Eugene Mitts. Harley Mitts, now 94 and Johnston’s only surviving brother, remembered fondly their years growing up on the farm and, later, Myrtle Creek. Mitts and Johnston recalled a time when they spotted a fire on the roof of their home. “I ran the pump outside to the well, and she carried buckets in the house, upstairs and out on the roof to put the fire out,” Mitts said. Johnston’s active life continued

after Myrtle Creek. She’d often sing, dance and play guitar at dance halls and barn dances around the region. (She still yodels to this day.) In fact, one of those dances — at the Melody Mountain Dance Hall — is where she met her future husband, Clarence. The two married when Gladys Johnston was 25 and moved from logging camp to logging camp.

North Bend is planning to open its pool July 1, and it could be free to everyone for three months. During a work session with the city council Monday, Finance Director Jessica Terra explained the city has applied for an Oregon Community Foundation grant which would cover expenses for July, August and September. If the grant is awarded, the city plans to waive all fees to use the pool during those three months. “I think our game plan is to reopen July 1 regardless,” Terra said. “If we don’t get the grant, it will be with the daily fees. With or without the grant, we can reopen July 1.” The announcement came a week after North Bend voters approved a tax levy to fund pool operations for five years. The North Bend pool has been closed since March 2020 due to COVID-19, and work has already begun to get it open again. City Recorder KayLee Marone will also be in charge of running the pool. She said the city plans to have the pool open for the summer months before closing it again from October through December. During that time, the city will have a contractor to replace the pump and filtration systems that have been in place since the pool opened in 1956. The city is also planning to replace the boiler and other work. “We have all the updated guidance,” Marone said. “Depending

Coos Bay liquor store cuts ribbon on new building By ZACK DEMARS The World

Around 20,000 bottles of liquor, spirits, beer, wine and more moved across Coos Bay learlier this month. The city’s only liquor store moved into a new location on U.S. Highway 101, and celebrated the opening of the new building with a ribbon-cutting. “This has been a really, really long time,” Liquor 101 owner Scott Farlow told city leaders and residents who gathered for the ribbon-cutting. “We finally got everything set and it’s just been a long process.” Farlow said he’s been in the process of moving to a new store

for three and a half years, since the building the property previously occupied was sold. After purchasing two lots on the highway, Farlow and his crew began building their new space from scratch. Farlow, who’s owned Coos Bay’s liquor store for about 15 years, said he visited a lot of other stores before designing his exactly how he wanted it to look. In just the first few days of operating, he said customers have noticed. “They clearly can recognize that we worked our butts off,” Farlow said. “I don’t think there’s much that compares to this.”

on where we fall in the chart will determine what we can do.” Coos County is currently in the moderate risk level. If the county reaches 65 percent of people vaccinated or the state reaches 70 percent, it would drop to low risk under current state rules. City Administrator David Milliron said staff has been working for the reopening, with the July 1 goal in mind. “We’re cautiously optimistic OCF will come through with the grant so we want to reward everybody,” Milliron said. “We’re all in this together.” Terra told the council the tax levy approved by voters buys the city time to come up with a long-term solution for the pool. “This is a five-year local option levy, so we need to discuss what’s going to happen after five years,” she said. Under rules in place after

a May 2020 election, the city cannot make major changes to any city fees without voter approval. Councilor Pat Goll asked if that rule was also in effect if the city wanted to increase fees for residents outside of North Bend. Terra said the answer was yes, adding changing the fees will be a part of the strategic plan brought back in front of the council. Milliron said the city could go back to the voters to raise fees for out-of-city residents, but he said that would likely not be done before May 2022. He said the city was hoping to stay off the ballot in November because the North Bend School District will have a bond issue on that ballot. Most of the council seemed pleased with the reopening plan, although some questioned whether the infrastructure improvements should be done first. “I think this is all great. It is super exciting it is happening,” Councilor Eric Gleason said. “But why not fix it when it’s closed. We live in North Bend. Except for the

Why not get it all fixed and when the weather begins to sour, it can open.” Public Works Director Ralph Dunham said getting a contractor and getting materials will likely take the bulk of the summer. The key is one way or another, the pool will be open this summer, which is exactly what Councilor Timm Slater said was needed. “I gotta believe whether we get the grant or not, we’ve got to commit to coming up with a way to open,” Slater said.

down those creeping case rates and work towards reaching a 65% adult vaccination rate (the county is currently at 53%).” Whatever the restrictions, local public health officials say the county’s recent uptick in cases is attributable to a few factors: Decreasing restrictions and a variant of the more contagious variant of the virus in the community. “When you open up the county for more access and more things to do and you then add the mask guidance changes to that already changing landscape of regulation changes, and then you throw in a variant like this, it

doesn’t take much to get that hot and running,” said Dr. Eric Gleason, a Coos Health and Wellness spokesperson. But unlike previous increases in cases, Coos County’s increases aren’t attributable to just community spread, Gleason said. Instead, he pointed to large gatherings, including one at a church and another at a related birthday party, which spread the virus in large numbers. “You see more people letting their guard down, more people getting together. And as a large proportion of those individuals have seemingly been maybe unvaccinated, it’s easy to see how this could spread like wildfire throughout that,” Gleason said. That last factor is a key commonality between many of the newest virus cases, according to Gleason. “It’s pretty clear right now

that most of the cases in the state are related to non-vaccinated people,” Gleason said. Coos County is also reporting an additional virus-related death this week. A woman in her 80’s with underlying conditions died after testing positive for the virus, according to Coos Health & Wellness. On the vaccination front, Coos County is slowly moving towards the 65% vaccination target, still with over 6,600 people to vaccinate before it can move into the low-risk category for good, as Portland’s Multnomah County did this week. Meanwhile, the state is rapidly approaching its key vaccination target, with 64.3% of the state’s eligible population already vaccinated. Once that figure reaches 70%, the state will largely open up, doing away with the four-tier risk framework and

most pandemic regulations. “At this point you could almost trip into a vaccination event in our community, there are so many of them,” Gleason said Tuesday. Vaccine doses can be scheduled at Bay Area Hospital, Coquille Valley Hospital, Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center, Coos Health & Wellness and Broadway Pharmacy online at www. communityhealth.events/ scheduler/ or by calling 541435-7353. Hospitals in the county offer all three kinds of vaccines at different events, including single-shot Johnson & Johnson-Janssen vaccines and Pfizer doses, which are open to anyone 12 and older. Vaccine doses are available at a number of other locations across the county, including Rite Aid, Walmart, Safeway, Fred Meyer and more.

social distancing markers speckle the fresh concrete floor. Aside from closing on the land beneath the new building, Farlow said construction posed its own challenges, with the lots situated next to a hillside with complicated drainage runoff requirements. “It was really hard to build on because of the hillside,” Farlow said. But with the store’s doors

of it, that was important.” The couple purchased the Oregon Mist, a 40-foot wooden fishing boat for $8,500 in Gardiner, according to Laurie Mitts. Gladys Johnston kept log books of the Oregon Mist’s travels as the Johnstons fished for salmon. The couple was based in Charleston, and fished as far down as Eureka over the years. Their boat was a “roller” in heavy seas, Johnston remembered. “We crossed quite a few bars, you know,” Johnston said. “At Bandon, we never stayed in there at night, because we were afraid we’d get in there and the bar would roughen and we couldn’t get out.” The couple’s activity didn’t slow down when they resold the Oregon Mist in 1983. They were fond of traveling, making trips to Hawaii, Canada and, one time, a memorable trip to Michigan to pick up a new Chevrolet. Hunting was one of the couple’s favorite activities. now open, Farlow said he’s now breathing a sigh of relief after years of planning. He even took a day off to celebrate the opening. “I finally had a good night’s sleep,” Farlow said.

Left, Clarence and Gladys Johnston, couple at front, were featured in The World of Coos Bay for their hunting trip to Pink Mountain, B.C. Deer, elk, moose and caribou all found themselves on the other side of Johnston’s gun. “A lot of hunting. I don’t know how many deer I got — I don’t have any idea,” Johnston said. After 54 years of marriage, Clarence Johnston passed in 1997. Gladys Johnston lived in Coos Bay by herself

for years after that, until last year, when she moved to a senior living community in Brookings. “Right before COVID started, it was getting harder and harder to get out and visit and get to her. So that was the main reason why we moved her closer to us, so we could keep an eye on her and

get through this whole thing together,” Laurie Mitts said. She’s been busy in her new home, learning cribbage from other residents and playing them frequently. That level of activity’s been central to her life. “Stay active. That’s the main thing. Stay active,” she said.

OBITUARIES Diana Lee Mansfield

Lovely B. "Beth" Leeper

March 2, 1943 – May 17, 2021

Diana Lee Mansfield has graduated from this life and gone on to reunite with loved ones she hasn't seen in a while. She passed away peacefully in a myrtle grove near Fairview, in earshot of a babbling brook, surrounded by kinfolk, with her dog by her side, on May 17, 2021. A few ailments and old age took their toll. She was 78 years old. She was born Diana Lee Yost on March 2, 1943 in Marshfield, Oregon to Fritz and Helen Yost. Her family then moved to Northern California, where she grew up in Eureka until age 12, then Morrow Bay until age 16, then back to Eureka for her last two years of high school. Her birth parents later divorced. Helen married Richard Juetten, and they settled in Washougal, Washington. Fritz married Bertha Siqueiros, and they settled in Eureka, California.

July 28, 1920 – May 17, 2021

Diana graduated Eureka Senior High School in 1960. In mid-life, she returned to school and graduated from Southwestern Oregon Community College in 1994 with a Computer Information Systems degree. She worked for periods of her life at the fisheries in Charleston, the Englewood Market and the Egyptian Theater, in Coos Bay. She was also deeply involved in various 4-H clubs in both her youth and adult life. She loved dogs and horses, and enjoyed the outdoors, camping, hunting, and fishing. After graduation from high school, Diana moved to Oregon and got a job in Gold Beach as a carhop at Jeannie's Drive-In. That is where she met the man she married, Douglas Mansfield, Sr. Doug and Diana settled in Coos Bay where they had four sons, Wayne, Joel, Phil, and Tim. The hardest work Diana did in her life was raising them. They were rambunctious and jumped into a lot of mud puddles over the years. Her husband was not always an angel, either. She once called in to “Party Line” (a dial in radio program for locals to sell or trade things), listed all his faults over the Coos Bay radio airwaves, and said she was ready to

trade if anybody was willing. She received some calls about him from other ladies around town claiming their husband's fault lists were even longer – and they would trade. This forced her to reconsider the deal offer, and she ended up keeping him around for many years. Those listed above who went ahead of her to the afterlife include Richard, Helen, Fritz, Bertha and Doug. Her kinfolk still around are her sisters, Earline Shaw and Jane Teters; her brother, Kurt Yost; all four of her sons along with their wives or lack thereof; 14 grandchildren; 14 great grandchildren; countless cousins, nieces, nephews, and in-laws. A “Celebration of Life” gathering with a reception following will be held for Diana at noon on Saturday, June 5, 2021 in the large auditorium of the Coquille Community Center, 105 N. Birch St, Coquille, Oregon. Instead of flowers or charitable contributions, Diana would want you to either perform a random act of kindness, give your dog a treat, or give your horse a handful of oats. Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals.com

At her request, no services will be held for Lovely Beth Leeper, 100, of North Bend. Private cremation rites were held at Ocean View Memory Gardens Crematory in Coos Bay. Lovely went by Beth but was known by most as Nanny to her family and friends. She was born on July 28, 1920 in Corvallis, to Gustavos Read and Mabel (McNabb) Read. She passed away peacefully on May 17,

2021 in Coos Bay. Beth graduated from Waldport High School, where she met Dave Leeper. They were married July 5, 1941 and were married 57 years before his death. Beth always had a smile on her face and could easily strike up a conversation with almost anyone. She loved gardening, camping, swimming, traveling, watching sports and clamming but most of all she loved being with her family. Beth is survived by her daughter, Judy Johnson and her husband, Dick; granddaughters, Julee Yoakam and husband, Jeff, Renee Hacker and husband, Ray, and Shelly Johnson and husband, Mike, all of North Bend; grandson, Scott Haresnape and wife, Leann of St. Helens; granddaughter, Sherry McFarland and husband, Friend of Enterprise; great grandson, Justin Yoakam and wife, Kylee of Sisters; great granddaughters,

Two people were arrested Monday after leading police on a long chase that went through parts of Douglas and Coos counties. According to a press release from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, the chase began in Florence with the suspects eluding police from Florence and Reedsport. As the vehicles moved closer to Coos County, the North Bend Police, Oregon State Police and Coos County Sheriff’s Office joined in. The suspects were driving a large truck while hauling a flatbed trailer with a sedan in it. Despite the heavy load, the pursuit topped speeds of 90 mph. Once the truck

entered Coos County, and Oregon State Police trooper attempted to use a spike strip to flatten the truck’s tires. But the truck was able to elude the strips and continued toward North Bend. With a deputy from the sheriff’s office in pursuit, a North Bend officer deployed a second set of spike strips just prior to the McCullough Bridge, which were successful in stopping the truck. When the truck rolled to a stop, the two occupants fled on foot. For eight hours, officers and deputies searched the area. K-9 deputies Raven and Odin were also brought in, but it turned out to be local

Douglas County Search and Rescue conducted another mission in the area of Calf Creek after Burleigh's fishing gear was found last weekend. Additional SAR resources were called in from Jackson County, Lake County and Siskiyou County, Calif. for Sunday's efforts. At approximately, 3 p.m., a team of searchers from Jackson County SAR located a shelter southwest of an original shelter found last weekend. The search crews called out to Mr. Burleigh who responded back. He was found to be walking and complaining of minor pain, but was in stable condition. A Brim Aviation helicopter was utilized to hoist Burleigh from his location and transport him to a waiting Lifeflight helicopter. Lifeflight later transported him to an out of area hospital for evaluation. The Brim Aviation helicopter was utilized to extract the remaining Jackson County SAR team from their position. The other search crews were able to self-extricate. "This was the outcome we all have been looking for in this case. It is because of our determined search and rescue Teams and the partnerships we have with other SAR teams from around the state, that Mr. Burleigh has been re-united with his family this evening," Sgt.

Guest Opinion

Killing wildlife to see who wins By Ted Williams Would you like to earn money and prizes by killing coyotes, foxes, cougars, bobcats, wolves, raccoons, squirrels, crows, rattlesnakes, rabbits, prairie dogs, woodchucks or skunks? If so, you can enter any of the thousands of wildlife-killing contests permitted and sometimes promoted by 44 state game and fish agencies. Such contests are legal in all Western states save California, Washington, Arizona and Colorado. These events have names like “Song Dog Smackdown,” “Good Ol Boy’s Fall Predator Tournament” and “Predator Palooza.” Names of competing teams are no less evocative. Placing high in a Lone Star Predator Calling Classic were “Beer Belly Varmint Hunters” and “Team Anthrax.” Standard equipment includes reclining chairs, electronic predator calls, tripods and other gun rests, spotting scopes, spotlights, night-vision goggles, other thermal-imaging equipment and high-capacity assault rifles equipped with telescopic sights. Prizes include cash - $50,000 if you win the West Texas Big Bobcat Contest - and such paraphernalia as camo clothing and AK-47s. Many contests have children’s divisions. Sponsors include gun companies, sporting-goods stores, fire departments, 4-H clubs and chambers of commerce. Body counts are impressive. One of the 717 teams in last year’s Big Bobcat Contest turned in 94 foxes. Carcasses are piled, photographed and invariably discarded. “Event coordinators are being hassled,” lament directors of a killing-contest support group called Coyote Contest. “Help us promote those who still understand and value the services that predator hunters provide!” Commentators on the group’s website explain these “services”: “Save a fawn; kill a coyote,” “Wanted dead or alive for the crimes of stealing fawns, turkeys, & livestock,” “Saving livestock one bullet at a time!” It doesn’t work this way. Predators do kill game and livestock, but no game species in the United States is suppressed by predation, and overpopulated species like elk and deer lack the predators needed to maintain their health and that of native ecosystems. Robert Crabtree, who did the seminal work on coyotes in central Washington and Yellowstone National Park, reports that to reduce a coyote population, at least 70 percent of the animals need to be eliminated -something he says “rarely, if ever, happens.” He found that where coyotes aren’t persecuted, average litter size at birth is five or six, but because of competition for prey an average of one to two pups survive their first year. When coyotes are shot, trapped or poisoned, pup survival increases because competition is reduced. So coyote “control” results in more, not fewer, coyotes. What’s more, Crabtree has found that indiscriminate killing of predators increases livestock loss. Because coyote “control” (which, again, doesn’t approach 70 percent) reduces the number of adults able to feed young, packs tend to abandon their normal small-mammal diet

Guest Opinion

Ted Williams mammal diet and turn instead to larger prey, like livestock. Carter Niemeyer, a retired predator-control agent, tells the story of the rancher who phoned him after one aerial operation. “Carter,” declared the rancher, “do coyotes revenge kill? We haven’t had trouble with coyotes all winter. We saw your helicopter the other morning and heard lots of shooting. Now we’ve got coyotes killing sheep. What the hell’s going on?” Here’s the explanation: Random shooting of predators creates chaos by removing “desirables.” Other predators fill the void including “undesirables" that do kill livestock. The public wearies of wildlife-killing contests. Three years ago they were legal in every state save California. Now they’re also banned in Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts and Maryland. New Mexico and Vermont have banned coyote-killing contests. Competing to kill wildlife outrages the fair-chase hunting community. “We don’t like anything that smacks of commercialization with money or prizes,” remarks Eric Nuse, a hunter educator who serves on the boards of Orion - The Hunters' Institute and the New England Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. “Anything that doesn’t honor the animals grates on us.” Wildlife-killing contests can erode “the public’s view of ethical hunting,” reports the Wildlife Society, comprised of 11,000 biologists and managers. No trained wildlife professional believes that killing contests accomplish anything worthwhile. This from the Pennsylvania Game Commission: “The agency (has) finally accepted the reality that predator control does not work.” Yet the Commission still sanctions 27 major wildlife-killing contests that attract thousands of participants. Why do 44 state game and fish agencies continue to allow these contests? Money. Employees are fed and clothed largely by hunting-license revenue; and wildlife-killing contestants must buy hunting licenses even though they’re not “hunters.” More accurately, people who compete to kill wildlife are described by their critics as “assassins.” Ted Williams is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. He is a nationally recognized writer on wildlife issues.

The U.S. and EU are taking on Belarus: Pot, Kettle, Black By Thomas L. Knapp On May 23, a fighter jet intercepted Ryanair Flight 4978 as it was about to exit Belarus’s airspace en route from Athens, Greece to Vilnius, Lithuania. Citing a supposed bomb threat (apparently contrived by regime agents on board the plane), Belarus air traffic control ordered the Boeing 737 to turn around and land in Minsk. On the ground, regime police entered the plane and abducted opposition journalist Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend, Sofia Sapega. Belarus’s state media reports that the hijacking/abduction was carried out on the personal orders of President Alexander Lukashenko. US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken (rightly) called the operation a “shocking act.” Ursula von der Leyen, president of the EU Commission, tweeted (correctly) that it was “outrageous and illegal” and that Protasevich “must be released immediately.” That’s hard to disagree with. Unfortunately, neither the U.S., nor several EU regimes, have any business grandstanding on the matter. They’ve pulled the same kind of stunt before, at least as recently as eight years ago. In July 2013, Bolivian President

Thomas L. Knapp Evo Morales’s plane left Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport en route back to La Paz. The Dassault Falcon 900 FAB001 was forced to land in Austria after being refused entry into French, Italian, Portuguese and Italian airspace. Why? Because while in Russia, Morales had indicated (in an interview with Russian state media) his willingness to offer asylum to American whistleblower Edward Snowden. The U.S. government, in the words of Jen Psaki (currently White House Press Secretary, but back then a State Department spokesperson) had “been in

contact with a range of countries across the world who had any chance of having Mr. Snowden land or even transit through their countries.” Austrian authorities claim they searched the plane for Snowden. Bolivian authorities say that Morales refused to allow a search. But either way there’s little doubt that several EU regimes, at the request (implicit or explicit) of the U.S. regime, colluded to force a plane and not just any old regular plane, but a diplomatically protected plane - to land in an effort to help abduct a political refugee. No, I’m not defending Lukashenko. He’s not very defensible. I hope that he can be pressured into freeing Protasevich and Sapega alive and unharmed. But if the “leaders of the free world” didn’t act exactly like Lukashenko whenever it suits them or serves their interests, they’d be in a much better position to mobilize global action to achieve that outcome.

Letters to the Editor Bertha Sharpe says thank you I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to Inland Point and the excellent staff for their care and for my 100th birthday party. Thank you to everyone who drove by to help celebrate, including The Legend radio station (105.9) and The World Newspaper. l loved all the cards, gifts, flowers, balloons, the cake and personal visits. I wish I could send individual thank you notes, but I’m too overwhelmed at this time. Please accept this letter with my deep gratitude. Sincerely, Bertha Sharpe North Bend

Love one another Recently I was in Bandon and drove by a couple of flags that were disturbing to me. The top flag on the flagpole said “Black Labs Matter” and the flag below it was a graphic of an AR-15 assault rifle. I don’t know what the intended message was but my “guess” is that black people are less than dogs and should be shot(?). When I hear, see, or read derogatory words and images that are aimed at peoples of color and LGBTQ people, I will say something. For me it is a personal attack. I am a white American having three grandchildren with African-American blood, two more grandchildren with Native American blood and a great-grandchild who is half Mexican-American. And I have friends who are LGBTQ. More than the expression of my outrage at what I saw, I am very hurt by insensitive or cruel words and images that are uncalled for. I’m tired of all the political back-and-forth, so let’s call “a spade, a spade.” These two flags

together reek of “white privilege, white nationalism, white government, white tradition, white supremacy,” and that is pure, unequivocal racism. This is not a First Amendment issue. I absolutely support First Amendment and civil rights for everyone. This is an issue of human decency: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” — “Love one another.” We need to educate ourselves about the history of other races, the struggles of other races over the last 400+ years in this whitewashed country of white traditions and also talk with empathy with our LGBTQ neighbors to gain a greater, informed perspective of what “E Pluribus Unum” really means. Unfortunately our white culture and tradition is pre-eminent as we wrap ourselves in “patriotism, In God We Trust, and the American Flag.” How much richer we would all be if we could embrace diversity. Solution? Take a walk along the beach or a woodland trail every day. Look up at the sky, the clouds, the beautiful soaring hawks, eagles or seagulls wafting on the wind thrust, the swaying of the trees as they perform their dance of celebration, the shimmer on the ocean from the glistening of the sun, a breath taking sunset over the Pacific, the scampering of the squirrel across the trail path to run up a tree, or observe the sea life along the beach. And then thank the Creator of all peoples for giving you the privilege of living in this beautiful community of Mother Earth. Let it be your daily walk of gratitude and daily miracle. But more importantly, “Love one another.” Charlene Davenport Washington State

A big thank you The Langlois Lions wish to

thanks an entire "village" of people and businesses that helped make our recent open-air Mary Hildebrand Memorial Plant Sale an overwhelming success. This was our first major fundraiser since 2019 and has enabled us to continue to fund our charitable programs. Sales were very brisk, especially the first day, and plants seemed to literally fly off the tables. So many people including both locals and tourists seemed to be so happy to be out and about, enjoying the beautiful southern Oregon Coast and getting a bonanza of plants or, maybe, just that one special one. We so appreciate the following for their support: volunteer workers: Catherine Kadlubowski, Russ Talbert, Jo Rieber and Cynthia Kovind and the many community donors: Nancy Stokes, Cherryl Miles, Craig Will who is starting up a new nursery down at Arizona Beach and others who remain anonymous. The businesses include: Valley Flora, 101 Plants and Things, B & B Farm Supply, Dragonfly Farm and Nursery, Stillwater Natives Nursery, Old Soul Studios, Raincoast Arts, Copper Goose, Wild Woods Gypsy Farm Stand and Gift Shop, Nicki's Knick Knacks, and Wild Coast Pottery. In closing, a few quotes that illustrate what a love of gardening means to people especially at this time: "There are no happier folks than plant lovers and none more generous than those who garden.” — Ernest Wilson “ “Gardening is cheaper than therapy – and you get tomatoes" anonymous “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” — Audrey Hepburn Deanna McDermott Secretary Langlois Lions club

She adored all of her crafting friends. As a breast cancer survivor, Karel understood the value of providing support to those who went through the same battle. She volunteered for American Cancer Society’s Reach to Recovery Program and became South Coast Area Coordinator for multiple years. She made many pillows to donate to mastectomy patients. Karel celebrated being with family and friends. She was a role model and a grounding presence for anyone who needed help

or advice. She was an avid cook and an entertainer. She loved having her kids at home. She decorated the house every Christmas with her handmade décor. She spent time on the road RVing and camping throughout her life. She enjoyed her counted cross stitch, reading, and word games. She adored playing Scrabble with her kids and sister. She remained close with many friends she met throughout her life. The love and support she received from all of them was a wonderful blessing to her. Thank you. She was much loved, hugged, and cherished as a wife, sister, mother, and friend. Preceded by: mother in 1989 and father in 1992. Survived by: husband, Donald Keith Morris; sons, Jeffrey Wayne Collins of Hillsboro, OR and Brian Matthew Collins (and Amalia Nita) of Aloha, OR; stepson, Howard (and Mary) Morris of Hoquiam, WA; stepdaughters, Lori (and Jim) Esget of Sequim, WA and Samantha (and Herman) Scales of Salem, OR; grandchildren, Benjamin Esget, Cody Morris, Logan Morris, Victoria Scales, and Charles Scales; sister, Marilyn Vrana of Columbus, NE; several cousins and a wealth of friends.

Marjorie Lucille Shull

February 22, 1941 – May 15, 2021

Karel Ann Morris passed away at home on May 15, 2021 surrounded by her children and husband, Don. She was a long term cancer survivor, having battled her illness for more than 20 years. Her family is very proud of her fighting spirit and determination. She bested her prognosis by many years. Karel was born February 22, 1941 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska to Kermit and Berneice Cook. She became the baby sister to her beloved older sister Marilyn. The family moved several times during Karel’s early years eventually settling in Lyman, Nebraska where Kermit and Berniece owned and operated a Gamble Store. Karel graduated from Lyman High School as Salutatorian in the class of 1959. During high school Karel worked at the Farmers State Bank. After high school she attended Scottsbluff Junior College on a scholarship studying elementary education for one year. Karel moved to Denver, Colorado in the spring of 1962 to work for Densco (a dental manufacturing company). In Denver Karel met her first husband, Dewey Wayne Collins. After marrying in September 1966 in Lyman, Nebraska, the couple moved to Coos Bay where Wayne was offered a job with Georgia Pacific. Karel gave birth to Jeffrey Wayne Collins in July 1970 and to Brian Matthew Collins in July 1973. Karel and Wayne divorced in 1974 and she went to work as a secretary in the Auditing Department at Western Bank. She left her post in 1977 to focus on raising her two young boys. Karel met Donald Keith Morris in the fall of 1975, and they were married on April 22, 1977 in North Bend. Through their marriage Karel and Don blended their families together making Howard, Lori, Jeff, Samantha and Brian siblings. Nurturing and supporting her family was one of Karel’s greatest joys. Don and Karel celebrated 44 years of mar-

Langlois resident Forrest “Rosy” Rosenberry passed quietly in early hours of April 14, 2021 at the Sacred Heart hospital in Springfield. His daughter Edwina was by his side holding his hand as he took his last breath. Rosy was born in St. George, Utah and moved to the Oregon coast in the early 50’s. Though he has lived in many of the little towns in

the area he settled in Langlois in the early 60’s. When he and Emma purchased a small house on some land where they started running a little farm, with cows, goats, chickens, and geese. ºThey worked hard to clear the land of all the shrubbery, and they planted a large vegetable garden among a row of apple trees. Rosy also worked at the “Western States” plywood mill as a foreman for many years until it closed in 1975. He was quite a handyman and had already mastered the art of plumbing, so he made that his lively hood and was quite successful at it. In 1999 Forrest and Emma purchased “Pitches” the wellloved tavern in downtown Port Orford. In 2015 there was a fire that destroyed the bar, but in a few years later, Emma created Pitches East on the other side of the street,

FATE OF EXERCISE EQUIPMENT BECOMES SORE SUBJECT

DEAR ABBY: Several years ago, while living with my sister, I bought a $900 rowing machine I could barely afford. I loved it and used it often. Two years ago, since we were moving out, I decided to let my sister take the rowing machine because my new apartment building had three and hers had no gym at all. It worked perfectly, and I thought I was doing her a favor because she couldn't afford a gym membership. My intention was to take back the rowing machine when I eventually had room to put it somewhere in a future home. Well, after recently moving into my new home and requesting she return it, she informed me that it was hers now. That was never my intention. She has gotten my other sister and our parents to side with her, and they're making me feel like a bad person for even asking for it. Now I'm left to shop for a new machine, while the original sits in her new large home gym along with her Peloton. She never offered to buy it, ever. She just insists it's hers now because I "gave" it to her. I still need a rowing machine, and I get upset every time I look at new ones online. It just feels wrong that I have to buy another one. What should I do? -- BUFF BRO IN ILLINOIS DEAR BRO: Buy another one. If it wasn't made absolutely clear to Sissy that you expected the rowing machine to be

returned at a later date, she was within her rights to conclude that it was a gift. If you DID make that clear to her when you moved out, then shame on her. But either way, it's not worth a family feud. DEAR ABBY: Some close friends have an adult child with a severe disability. They've been upfront about it and his need to be present in the community. I applaud their attitude, but on a personal level, I don't know how to handle it. They have a big family celebration coming up, assuming things continue to improve COVID-wise. I'm tired of not knowing how to interact with this person. Other people laugh and joke and seem to have a nice relationship with him. I struggle to understand, and I don't know if I should just be honest and say I don't know what to do or say. I feel I'm missing out on what others see. How do I move along? -AWKWARD IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR AWKWARD: I don't think it's necessary to explain to your friends that you feel uncomfortable interacting with their disabled child. I do think you should tell them you would like to interact more fully with him and ASK FOR SUGGESTIONS on how you can achieve that. They wouldn't find it offensive. In fact, they may appreciate your being forthright, because I'm willing to bet not everyone has been as compassionate as you -- or as direct.

Avery ran his campaign on one issue: Opposing certain aspects of school curriculum that have become controversial in some circles. “People voted over this issue,” Avery said Friday. “Because there was no other reason to vote for me, other than I’m a good plumber.” Avery beat the board’s current vice chair, Marie Simonds, in the race for her seat. Avery carried about 44.5% of the vote, while Simonds carried 42.1%, and a third candidate, Jeannette Harper, carried 13.1%, according to the county’s final unofficial results. Avery said he was surprised by the outcome. “I was a little bit surprised because generally speaking, an incumbent always has a significant advantage,” Avery said. “The fact that I was elected to my surprise is, in my view, a clear mandate.” In particular, Avery focuses on what he calls a program of “Marxist indoctrination.” He pointed specifically to the use in some schools nationwide of the 1619 Project, a New York Times series focusing on the history of racism in America, and critical race theory, a framework for examining the impact of racism in society.

He argues the ideas, which have garnered headlines in national conservative media over their use in some schools, aren’t part of a “good education,” and that, at the very least, parents should get to weigh in on their use if they were to ever be introduced locally. Simonds didn’t address national flashpoints like critical race theory and the 1619 Project during her campaign, saying Friday she hoped her focus on CTE and trades education would resonate with voters. “It’s not something that entered into my space,” Simonds said. She said those conversations haven’t come up in Bandon’s schools. “The school has a job to educate our youth and I think the school does an excellent job of that with our administrators and our educators,” Simonds said. Simonds was disappointed by the outcome of last week’s election, but

said she was confident in the direction the district is heading. She’ll continue to serve on the South Coast Education Service District board after winning her reelection to that seat. “I’m very proud of the work I did on the school board,” Simonds said. Avery’s campaign was unique for another reason, in that he shared a platform with his wife. Running on almost identical issues, Theresa Avery challenged current board chair Angela Cardas. But Cardas won her reelection handily, with 56% of the vote to Theresa Avery’s 43.3%. Cardas said the outcome of the election as a whole was a “mixed bag,” since she prevailed while Simonds, her vice chair, didn’t. “I’m really disappointed that big national political and national issues are seeping into these races,” Cardas said.

She said that Avery’s win isn’t necessarily representative of the community. “National buzzwords like critical race theory are not where our focus needs to be,” Cardas said. “This idea that there’s some sort of wave coming to education in Bandon is not realistic.” What’s more, she said she’s disappointed that Avery was elected, despite the fact that he “proudly did not participate in the system” by homeschooling his nine children. Avery argues that’s an advantage, since he had the experience of educating his children himself. Cardas said the board needs to spend its time on more tangible local issues, like access to education and students experiencing hunger. “I just think that we have a lot of issues that are locally based, Bandon based, a lot of things that our students are facing that are

relevant,” Cardas said. She went on to say that her time on the board has shown her the limited role it has. According to Cardas, the board’s primary job is to hire and supervise the superintendent. “One of the things that I’ve enjoyed most is the education on the board’s role,” Cardas said. “It’s not to incite political change. And it is not to forward political beliefs. It is to ensure the success of every student in our district.” The board just exercised that main responsibility, with the hiring of incoming superintendent Shauna Schmerer, who’ll takeover leadership of the district July 1. “I think she’s going to bring some great vision. I think she’s going to help our community out of this,” Cardas said, referring to the pandemic. Still, Cardas said there’s room for the new board to work together. Right now, Cardas is particularly focused on preparing for returning students fully to the classroom in the fall, ideally with more flexible mask requirements. With David Hisel’s uncontested reelection last week, the board will be made up of six current board members plus Avery. For his part, Avery said he doesn’t expect conflict. He just plans to bring parents’ views on hot-button issues into the fray. “I’m a team player, and so I see the board as a team,” Avery said. “But the team should include the parents.”

Port of Bandon 18th annual Boardwalk Art Show opens The 2021 Port of Bandon Boardwalk Art Show is up and ready to be enjoyed. There are 165 pieces of artwork displayed on the boardwalk made by 72 adults and 93 youth. Don’t miss the seven adult boards looking out from inside the picnic shelter. All are original artworks celebrating plants, fish and other animals, (and a few people). Some are representative of local flora and fauna, others reside only in painters’ imaginations. Artists of all ages were invited to create variations on the “under sea garden” theme using a variety of mediums including acrylic paint, oils, collage and mixed media. All boards have been sealed to protect them from the weather. There are People’s Choice awards for youth and for the adult category. Choosing a favorite will be a challenge for the judges and visitors that enjoy the wide variety of art while strolling along the waterfront. Take time to vote for your favorite boards in the categories of youth (number tags) and adult (alphabet tags). One ballot per voter please. People’s Choice ballots are available on the boardwalk at Bandon Bait and Tackle, 110 First St. SE. The show is sponsored by the Port of Bandon, and runs now through September 19. The winners of cash and/or ribbon prizes will be announced on the Boardwalk during the Cranberry Festival, Saturday, September 11.

AS I SEE IT

The World

The worst storm in history

By Mary Schamehorn If it weren't bad enough that the town of Bandon was almost completely destroyed by fire in September of 1936, less than five months later, the area experienced what was described as "the worst storm in history." The first picture I am sharing are the tents, which were set up along First Street by the Red Cross for residents and firemen within days of the fire. The second photo shows the result of more flooding several years later near the Chevron Station, which was across from what is now Face Rock Creamery. The foundry to the right of the station survived the fire but was later torn down. One story about the storm, from the Feb. 4, 1937, Western World, told of logs drifting into the firemen's tent. "Firemen living in the tent which has been their headquarters since the city burned last September reported that a log floated into their tent while they were at work patrolling the streets and otherwise helping during the flood. "The log, one foot in diameter, caused damage to cots and other property as it floated hither and yon. The firemen spent the remainder of Monday night sleeping on the floor of the council chamber in the new city hall." The "new city hall," which had been built by WPA workmen to house the Red Cross as they moved in to take care of Bandonians, is now the Bandon History Museum on the corner of Fillmore and Highway 101. Old-timers, who had lived here over 40 years, said it was the worst storm they had ever seen. The quick run-off caused Ferry Creek to flood, which inundated the downtown area. The banks of the creek and its tributaries were burned off in the fire, leaving nothing to hold the moisture. The most fascinating story to come out of the storm was headlined: "Infant lost in Flood, Found Alive. Family of Five Goes Hurtling Down Canyon in Home." The Richard Howell family were living in a house built in a canyon on Lowe Creek on the North Bank Road. Above them was a dirt dam some 20 feet in height, the water of which had been used for irrigation purposes on the H.H. Christensen farm. "The terrific downpour of rain caused the dam to give way during the night. The sudden onrush of water swept the Howell home from its foundation and carried it down the canyon some 800 yards to the main road. The walls had collapsed, and the roof had fallen in. "Trapped within the enclosure of their wrecked abode, the Howells grasped madly for the hands of their children. The mother quickly gathered the baby in her

arms, but in the topsy-turvy trip down the canyon, half submerged in icy water, she lost him. When the wreckage came to a halt at the main road, there were father and mother and the two older children, but the baby was gone." The story tells how they groped madly in pitch darkness for any sight or sound of the baby, but they finally gave up believing the baby was dead. "The motley four, water-soaked and numb with cold made their way to the Christensen home," says the article. Mr. Christensen hurried to the home of Maurice Ray, superintendent of Moore Mill & Lumber Co. logging operations, Howell's employer. Aided by a flashlight and lantern, Christensen and Ray rushed to the scene of the wreckage to search for the body of Baby Howell. "An hour had elapsed ... when suddenly after upturning what had been part of the roof they saw Baby Howell. His left arm and his head were firmly hooked over the limb of an alder sapling that had been washed from its moorings by the rushing torrent, and he was alive, breathing; in fact gurgling as they gently lifted him from his anchorage to the arms of rescue." He was rushed to his parents and brought to Bandon and given a thorough examination by Dr. E.F. Lucas, who found no water in his lungs and only a slight fever as the result of exposure. This was the kind of positive story that people needed after surviving both fire and flood. The third picture features D. S. "Big Mac" MacDonald, as he celebrated 25 years as a police officer with the City of Bandon. But that is not where he started his police career. An item in the June 9, 1949, Western World is headlined: Bandon Man Joins State Police Ranks. "Donald MacDonald, World War II veteran and graduate of Bandon High School, was sworn in as a member of the Oregon State Police Monday at Salem. MacDonald is head of the cheese-curing room at the Coquille Valley Dairy Co-op plant here. He will stay on the job until relief is arranged. "Given the temporary rating of 'recruit,' MacDonald will report to the Coquille headquarters of the state police for about 10 days before being stationed at Gold Beach where he expects to be assigned to game enforcement duties which he requested. MacDonald served with the Marine Corps during the recent war." I am not sure how long he spent with the State Police, but certainly their loss was our gain. *

"Big Mac" MacDonald celebrates 25 years as a police officer. The election is over .... except for those of us who mounted a write-in campaign, as I've been advised that it could be as late as June 7 when the votes have to be certified before the write-in winners will be announced. Hopefully, we will know sooner the outcome of the 642 write-in votes for Position No. 2 on the board of the Southern Coos Health District, but until then it's anyone's guess as I know of two others, besides me, whose names were written in. To say that the results of the election produced some surprises is an understatement. The school board lost one of its most dedicated members when Marie Simonds, executive director of Wild Rivers Coast Alliance, was unseated by local plumber Stan Avery. Avery's wife, Theresa, also sought a seat, but lost to incumbent Angela Cardas by over 200 votes. Marie did win a seat on the Education Service District board, which is good. Rod Taylor, not to be confused with activist and radio talk show host Rob Taylor, also of Bandon, defeated Harv Schubothe for the Bandon port commission 1,632 to 1,361. Rod is one of three Oregonians who were cited (him for curfew violation) on Jan. 6 in Washington, D.C. Rod also won a seat on the Coos County Area Transportation District board of directors. For the contested seat on the Bandon Rural Fire Protection District board, incumbent Larry Sabin defeated challenger Jeannette Harper, 514 to 271. Because of a mix-up, two incumbents of the Bandon Cranberry Water Control District board filed for the same seat, with Ted Freitag defeating fellow board member John Roth 102-74. Hopefully, the 51 write-in votes for the vacant Position No. 3 will have been for John so both can continue serving on the board. If not, the remaining board members, which

includes Scott Vierck who ran unopposed, can reappoint John to the board when his term expires June 30. The city's renewal of the local option street tax, Measure 6-188, passed handily, 775-152. All I can say is: thank you to the voters who supported this effort which allows us to maintain our streets and pedestrian ways. Overall, 25.76 percent of the registered voters in Coos County cast their ballots: 12,213 out of 47,413 registered voters. *

If ever there is an incentive to get vaccinated, it is now. It was announced this week that Oregon is one of four states who will offer an incentive to those who are hesitant to get vaccinated. Under the plan, the state will pick 42 winners: One statewide winner will receive $1 million, one person in each county will receive $10,000 and five 12-to17-year-olds will receive $100,000 Oregon College Savings Plan scholarships. The irony is that the very people who are pushing hardest for our counties to open up fully are the same ones who refuse to be vaccinated. It doesn't make sense. Under new state rules laid out last week, counties will see an easing of restrictions once 65% of their 16-and-older population has received a dose of the Covid vaccine. Portland (Multnomah County), for example, has already reached the 65 percent figure needed to reopen; Coos County stands at about 51 percent. Surely, we can

do as well as Multnomah County! Can't we? This means over 7,000 more county residents need to get a dose before the county hits that threshold. Meanwhile the county's seen a slow increase in its Covid-19 cases. Coos will remain in the moderate-risk tier, but its 88.4 cases per 100,000 over the last two weeks is up from the previous reporting period, according to Coos Health and Wellness. *

The federal government announced several weeks ago that the deadline for states to comply with its Real ID program has been pushed back to May 2023. According to the Oregonian, "The latest Real ID delay gives Oregon, which expected to be the last state in the country to comply with the federal security rule signed by Congress in 2005, yet another reprieve from an anticipated Real ID customer crunch state officials fretted about for years." It makes one wonder what is going on with the state-run Department of Motor Vehicles if we were set to be the last state to comply. *

Golfer Phil Mickelson made history Sunday when he became the oldest golfer in history to win a major championship. Phil is three weeks away from his 51st birthday and had to have a special exemption in order to play in the PGA Championship because of his age. The record had been held by golfer Julius Boros, who was 48 years, 4 months and 18 days old when he won the PGA championship in 1968. In an unprecedented occurrence, the crowd swarmed Mickelson as he walked toward the 18th tee, resulting in officials having to rope off the area. I've never seen anything like the excitement even in the hey-day of Tiger Woods.

Speedway to host big weekend The World

North Bend's Natalie Cheal, left, congratulates Marshfield's Isabelle Hale after the two completed the last leg of the 400-yard freestyle relay for their respective teams last week.

Swim teams thrive with new partnership JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — Marshfield and North Bend have spent the young swimming season training together in the same pool, with practice times based on when the kids were in school rather than which school they attend. So it wasn’t surprising that during the opening meet of the season last week, students from each school were openly encouraging those from the other as they competed at Mingus Park along with swimmers from Reedsport, Hidden Valley and North Valley. They have embraced the camaraderie so much that Marshfield student Jonas Batdorff even designed a mascot combining those of the two schools that will be used on team sweatshirts, with a bulldog wearing the traditional eye patch and scarf of the pirate. “It’s fun,” said North Bend senior Bella Jones. “Everyone is talking to each other. It doesn’t matter if you are Marshfield or North Bend. It’s us together. “We’re a team. We practice together. We’re a family.” Essentially, they are still separate teams, which will be the case in a few weeks when Class 5A (North Bend) and Class 4A-3A-2A-1A (Marshfield) have their season-concluding events, this year’s version of the state meet. “I think it’s beneficial for both teams,” said Robert Kliewer, one of the captains for Marshfield’s team, adding that there is natural competition between swimmers from the two schools in practice. “You have like a mini meet every day.” It’s worked out great for North Bend, which doesn’t have a pool since the North Bend Municipal Pool has been closed throughout the

pandemic. And it’s been good for Marshfield’s swimmers, too, said Kathe McNutt, Marshfield’s longtime head coach. “It’s working really well,” she said. “They all get along.” Last week’s meet was the first of three straight on Friday’s at Mingus Park, and also, fortunately for the Pirates, the only one when the team is shorthanded because of other events. Kliewer was the only captain available with three other key veterans competing in the state track meet the same day. “Most of our competition relay is still at state,” Kliewer said. North Bend won most of the events in the opening meet. Jones won the 500-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke, Rebecca Witharm won the 100 and 200 freestyle and Gillian Baxter took the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley. North Bend also got a win by Natalie Cheal in the 50 freestyle and the Bulldogs took two of the three relays, the other won by the Pirates. In the boys half of the meet, Mavrick Macalino won the 200 freestyle and butterfly for the Bulldogs, who also got wins by Finley Cheal in the 200 individual medley, Zach Holt in the 100 freestyle, Ian Wakeling in the 500 freestyle and Madden Robertson in the backstroke. The Bulldogs also won two of the three relays, the exception the 200 freestyle relay won by North Valley. Marshfield’s only win came in the girls 200 freestyle relay, but the Pirates had a number of runner-up finishes, including by Isabelle Hale, Kally Haynes, Eli Delgado and Paige Kirchner on the girls side and Gabriel Dresser for the boys. Reedsport’s top efforts were a third-place finish by Gesme Kramer in the girls 50 freestyle and Aidan

Myrtle Point girls get big basketball win JOHN GUNTHER The World

MYRTLE POINT — The Myrtle Point girls basketball team has quickly made a habit of breaking losing streaks in the new season. On Monday night, the Bobcats beat Toledo for the first time since 2015. On Wednesday, they topped rival Coquille for the first time since 2014. “It’s a big win for them and the program,” new head coach Jennifer Sproul said after Myrtle Point’s 38-28 victory over the Red Devils. The Bobcats used fierce defensive pressure to set the tone early against a young Coquille squad and led all the way. They limited Coquille to just two points in the opening quarter and used the transition opportunities from the many turnovers they forced to create opportunities. They didn’t always convert them, but Sproul was OK with that.

John Gunther, The World

Myrtle Point's Sarah Nicholson drives against Coquille's Hailey Combie during Wednesday's game. “It’s a great group of girls,” she said. “The effort was great, the execution was terrible.” But she expects the execution to improve as the team gets more time on the court. “I love our hustle and our energy and our attitude,” she said. “They were spot on all game.” Where the Bobcats struggled was in rebounding an in

half-court execution. “That will come,” Sproul said. Sarah Nicholson led the team Wednesday night with 11 points. Maddi Reynolds added 10. Nicholson, Reynolds and Allison Storts, another defensive sparkplug for the Bobcats, all were competing in the state track meet on Saturday before helping the Bobcats to their

strong start this week. On Monday, the Bobcats also held Toledo to two points in the opening quarter on the way to a 14-2 lead. Reynolds scored 16 points, Nicholson eight and Hayden Weekly and Grace Bradford six each. Last year, Myrtle Point won just two league games. This year the Bobcats are 2-0 to start the season. “They are just excited to be winning,” Sproul said. “They want to win. They want to be pushed. They want to get the pride back.” It showed Wednesday in an active student section that cheered every basket and good play. “The atmosphere was great,” Sproul said. “”These kids deserve this. “We can celebrate about five minutes because we’ve got Bandon tomorrow.” In fact, the Bobcats are in the midst of a brutal stretch to open the season with five Please see Girls, Page A14

COOS BAY — A visit by the Beast Jet Car on Saturday and dwarf cars and micos highlight two days of racing on the oval dirt track at Coos Bay Speedway this weekend. The Beast Jet Car will show off its powerful engine Saturday night when it burns down another vehicle. “It’s a sight to see in the dark of night with flames shooting through and out everywhere,” speedway officials said. Meanwhile, the dwarf cars and micros race both days, along with local racers in most of the regular classes. The grandstands open at 4 p.m. for Saturday’s event, with racing starting at 6:30 p.m. Sunday’s event is an afternoon affair, with the grandstands opening at 1 p.m. and racing starting at 2 p.m. General admission each day is $12 for adults and $10 for students ages 7 to 17 and senior citizens. Children 6 and under get in for free and a family pass for two adults and up to three students is $35. Event classes for the oval track include the America’s Mattress Super Late Models, Sportsman Late Models, Street Stocks, Mini Outlaws, Hornets and Junior Stingers that feature local and regional drivers, as well as the Dwarf Cars Pro and PMSA 600cc Winged Micros. The speedway has been busy in recent weeks, especially the dirt track. On May 8, winners included Brody Montgomery for America’s Mattress Super Late Models, Ryan Emry for Sportsman Late Models, Ken Fox for Street Stocks, Anthony Brinster for Mini Outlaws, Seth Christian for Hornets and Camden Robustelli for Winged Sprints.

Coquille boys hold off challenge from Bobcats JOHN GUNTHER The World

MYRTLE POINT — Coquille is coming off one of the school’s best boys basketball seasons in recent years. The Red Devils are off to a 2-0 start to the new season after a hard-fought 56-41 win over host Myrtle Point on Wednesday night.

Bandon boys beat Bulldogs

Tigers triumph over North Bend girls JOHN GUNTHER The World

BANDON — The Bandon girls basketball team is coming off a third-place finish in the Class 2A state tournament, albeit with only two players back who had extensive minutes during the tournament run and with three freshmen getting major time this year. So far, so good. The Tigers beat visiting North Bend 4134 Tuesday to improve to 2-0 on the season, following a win at Waldport a day earlier. Bandon coach Jordan Sammons said the two returners — seniors Kennedy Turner and Sterling Williams — have played a vital role with their leadership on the squad. “They’ve really helped out,” he said. That’s been important because the Tigers have had limited time together, including about four practices with the entire squad since the softball team, which includes Williams, and the track team, which includes Turner, were still in action at the end of the week last week. Turner said the outlook for the season is promising. “We’ve got a lot of talent and a lot of girls willing to work hard,” she said. “These girls are awesome to play with.” Turner led the Tigers Tuesday night with 14 points inside, off offensive rebounds and good passes from teammates. But Katelyn Senn, one of the freshmen, was next in scoring with 13, including

Coquille's Julien Temps holds his ground as Myrtle Point's Aidan Lilienthal charges into him during Wednesday's game. Lilienthal was called for charging on the play. elite teams. Defending state champion Toledo topped them 59-42 in the opener Monday night. Swan had 19 points and Nicholson 11 in that loss. On Wednesday, Nicholson had 14 points and Swan 11. Those are two of Myrtle Point’s seven seniors, part of the reason the Bobcats had high anticipation for the season. “I have waited for this senior group for four years,” Myrtle Point coach Jamil Wynn said. “Now that it’s here, it’s a little bittersweet. “This group will definitely be missed. I think of these seniors like my own kids with the amount of time I have spent with them over the last four years.” For the first two games, though, the Bobcats have struggled, he said. “We just can’t figure out the little things that cost us games,” Wynn said. “Once they figure out how good they can be and decide to

Marshfield boys top Lions The World Marshfield’s boys basketball team opened the Sky-Em League season with an allaround team effort in a 62-38 win over Cottage Grove. The Pirates dominated the first three quarters, leading 55-27 before coasting in the fourth. “We played hard,” Marshfield coach Casey McCord said, noting that the Pirates had four times as many rebounds as the Lions. “It was a good effort by the whole team,” McCord said. Marshfield also had balanced scoring in the win. Monty Swinson led the way with 13 points, while Pierce Davidson had 12 and Mason Ainsworth 11. Noah Niblett had nine points and

Bandon's Olivia Thompson pushes the ball up the court as North Bend's Haley Reeves tries to keep up Tuesday. a tie-breaking 3-pointer and another hoop to stretch the lead to five late in the game. Williams and Olivia Thompson, another of the freshmen, added six each and junior Carlee Freitag had a big momentum basket, beating the third-quarter buzzer with a hoop that gave the Tigers the lead going into the final eight minutes. Freshman Makiah Vierck and junior Angie Morones fill out the seven-player rotation. Turner said she is confident in all three of the freshmen. “There’s a big learning curve between middle school and high school, but they’ve got it,” she said. In Monday’s win, Turner had 15 points, Senn 12, Williams nine and Thompson eight. On Tuesday, the Tigers

trailed 12-6 through one quarter, but didn’t flinch, opening the second quarter on a 7-0 run. “I’m proud of our effort,” Sammons said. “We’ve had teams go on runs and they’ve battled back. “You can’t teach heart.” North Bend suffered its first loss of the season after lopsided wins last week over Powers and Siuslaw. “That’s the first competitive game we’ve been in,” North Bend coach Mike Forrester said, giving the Tigers credit for giving the Bulldogs fits. “Bandon’s girls got on us and played good defense,” he said. “They made it tough in the first half to get into some stuff.” The Tigers also came up

with several critical rebounds late, Forrester said. Trinity Barker and Adrianna Frank led the Bulldogs with 14 and 13 points, respectively. Barker got off to a quick start, with 10 of hers coming in the first quarter. Frank, meanwhile, scored eight in the third quarter to help the Bulldogs keep the score close. Both teams face Myrtle Point for their next games, both at home and part of a stretch of four consecutive nights of games for the Bobcats. Bandon hosted Myrtle Point on Thursday (results were not available by press time) and the Bobcats visit the Bulldogs on Friday. The Bobcats also hosted Coquille on Wednesday and will host Waldport on Saturday.

play team basketball, they will be fine.” Myrtle Point has the unenviable task of playing the third state tournament team from the league last season, Bandon, on Thursday night. Coquille, meanwhile, hosts those Tigers Saturday. Like Wynn, Layton is looking forward to the rest of the season. “I’m proud of them, where we’re at at this point,” Layton said. “We’re just going to get better.” The challenge for both teams is getting better quickly, given the compressed season that includes a full slate of 12 league games in the span of less than a month. “It’s a short season,” Layton said. “Too many games and not enough practices.” The best news is there is a season at all. “I do wish it was a normal season, but the main thing is I’m glad they get to play,” Wynn said.

games in six days, including a trip to North Bend on Friday and a home league game against Waldport on Saturday. Coquille, meanwhile, fell to 1-2 overall and in league play with a squad with only three players back who saw significant varsity minutes last year when the Red Devils finished fourth at state. Coach Dan Hampton was thrilled with the team’s effort, though. “That’s the hardest we’ve played all year, practice or game,” he said. “Their guards caused problems for us.” On the plus side, the Red Devils played solid defense of their own and rebounded well, especially Hailey Combie. “We really controlled the boards,” Hampton said.

GIRLS Marshfield’s girls fell to the Lions 42-32, but the Pirates were their own worst enemies while falling behind 20-9 at halftime. Marshfield hit just one of 15 free throws in the opening two quarters. Cottage Grove led 33-17 before Marshfield made the score more respectable by outscoring the Lions 16-9 in the final quarter. Charlie Dea had 11 points and Kaylin Dea 10 for the Pirates. Matty Ladd had 14 for Cottage Grove. Combie finished with a game-high 18 points for the Red Devils, who also got eight points from Maya Salazar. Hampton said the biggest challenge for his team is the lack of experience. “The learning curve for us is steep,” Hampton said. “We get back-to-back practices (Thursday and Friday). I don’t know if we have that again the rest of the year.” The Red Devils got their win Monday, when they beat Reedsport 44-15. Combie had 15 points and Salazar 11 in that win. Hampton said the Bobcats were the better team Wednesday. “Give credit to them,” he said. “We are learning. “We competed. That’s the key.” The Red Devils host Bandon on Saturday and visit North Bend for a nonleague game Monday.

The cedar is now being secured from the South Slough district and is brought to the factory in auto trucks. It comes in bolts from four to six feet in length. These are run through a saw and cut into timbers six inches wide and four or five inches thick and in this shape they go through another saw which cuts off the veneer about an eighth of an inch thick. Only the straight grain cedar can be used for battery purposes and some very fine veneer is being turned out.

Coos students get Oregon cup Marvel Skeels of Coquille awarded prize Nish Chapman of Marshfield was one of winners last year — tells of award Coos county students at Oregon University are setting high standard. Miss Marvel Skeels has just been awarded the Gerlinger honor cup, while last year Nish Chapman of Marshfield won the Koyl cup. Concerning it, a Eugene dispatch says: Remey Cox of Portland received the highest honor which can be bestowed upon a junior man in the university when he was awarded the Koyl cup, given annually to the junior man who has shown the greatest proficiency in scholarship and student activities. Markel Skeels of Coquille was awarded the Gerlinger cup, given to the junior woman who has shown the most proficiency along these lines. The awards were made at the junior prom. “Miss Skeels, who is a major in music, has been prominent in music circles on the campus throughout her three years here, having been a member of the girls’ glee club during that time. She recently was elected to Mu Phi Epsilon, national women’s fraternity, and also is a member of the Kwama, sophomore women’s honor society, and Phi Lambda Theta, women’s educational society. She is secretary of the junior class, and was a candidate for secretary of the associated students at the recent elections, being defeated by a close vote. She is a member of Pi Beta Phi.

Coaledo school wins Coos prize Makes best average in modern health crusade Oregon Tuberculosis Association offered trophy to all schools in county in work To the little school of Coaledo goes the honor of winning the pennant which was offered at the beginning of the school year by the Oregon Tuberculosis Association to the school in each county making the best average in the modern health crusade. Practically all the schools in the county were enrolled in the contest, and it reflects a great deal of credit upon Miss Church, the teacher, and the pupils of the Coaledo school that their average was the best in the entire county. Each pupil, upon entering the health crusade, undertakes to perform certain stated health chores daily, and upon the successful completion of a six weeks’ course becomes a squire, later a knight, and then a knight banneret, and is presented with a gold pin signifying that he has formed what may safely be considered as permanent health habits, under the stimulus of the health crusade. The health crusade is sponsored and conducted by the National Tuberculosis Association. A great deal is done by the association in the way of publicity, etc., as statistics prove beyond a doubt that where proper health habits are formed in childhood, there is little or no danger of the child’s succumbing to tuberculosis in after years.

EUGENE — Marshfield hurdler Rich McIntosh was flying low Friday. So low that he could possibly have missed a shot at the Oregon high school record of 13.8 in the 120 high hurdles, set by Steve Pauly of Beaverton in 1959. Instead, the Pirate senior flew to a 14.3 clocking in a preliminary heat for the District 5AAA track and field spikefest that is due to wrap up today at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus. “He shoulda run faster,” said veteran Marshfield Coach Walt McClure, “but he smacked one.” “Mac really knocked into the eighth hurdle after nicking the sixth,” McClure continued. As it was, McIntosh claimed a pair of standards with his clocking — the district record and the Marshfield school record. The old mark at district was 14.5 set by Pat Mullaley of Churchill in 1968, while the old Pirate standard was 14.5 set by Fred Girt in 1968 and tied by McIntosh earlier this year.

Track & Field: Pirates get enough high placers to bring home a trophy EUGENE — Not one of Marshfield’s girls won an individual title at the Class 4A state track meet on Friday or Saturday. The Pirates also didn’t have any runner-up finishes. But Marshfield stacked together enough third- through seventh-place winners to take home the third-place trophy in the Class 4A team race at Hayward Field. “Track is more of an individual thing, so when we do well as a team, that’s great,” said Marshfield’s Jo Boatright, as she held the trophy with teammates Alicia Vandervelden, Maegan Traver and Celina Roberge Saturday. “Especially when we’re outnumbered,” chimed in Roberge. Indeed, Marshfield accomplished its trophy with a small group of talented girls, the same core of girls (with a few additions) that helped them earlier win the Midwestern League title and the Grants Pass Rotary meet. On Saturday, Traver had the best finish for the Pirates by taking third place in the triple jump, while Roberge was fourth in the pole vault. Boatright finished fifth in the triple jump and sixth in the 100-meter hurdles, while Vandervelden was seventh in the discus. Those points were enough to go along with Friday’s total — Boatright third in the long jump, Vandervelden third in the shot put and Tia Parsons sixth in the javelin — to give Marshfield 35 points over the two days. Class 3A The Far West League schools all finished out of the running for trophies on Saturday, but had some good finishes on the final day of the meet. Nathan Baumgartner of Reedsport led most of the way in the 400 meters before running out of gas near the finish line and placing third with a time of 49.44 seconds, .13 seconds off the school record he set Friday. He rebounded to take fifth in the 200 meters with a time of 22.73 seconds. Siuslaw’s Tyler May was second in the high hurdles for the second straight year, with a time of 15.29 seconds, and also finished seventh in the intermediate hurdles. Myrtle Point’s Rosie Sweetman also wo two medals, coming from the back of the pack with a strong finish to take eighth in the 1,500 meters with a new best of 5:01.33 and also taking eighth in the 800 meters.

Forests can be a Sunday drive or just a walk across the street By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Over the last few months, I have used this space to tell stories about my visits to different locations along the South Coast. This week, I’m doing things a little different. Since the day I moved to Oregon, one place has intrigued me almost daily. I don’t get out into it daily, but I sure would like to. That place, the forest, continues to draw me in. I have found excuses to walk through, hike around and explore different areas of the forest dozens of times, and every time is a new adventure. At my home, the forest happens to be right across the street. So, it’s not uncommon for my wife and kids and I to go for a walk through the trees. We aren’t too adventurous, so we stick the established trails, but it only takes minutes before the world sort of slips away as we go deeper. It is an amazing experience to hike into the forest and escape. Within minutes, you can no longer hear traffic. Before long, the only sounds around are ones you make or other living things nearby are making. I haven’t seen anything crazy while out in the woods, but a few nights ago, my wife and I did hear what we believe to be a pack of wolves howling nearby. My two oldest children living at home have struggled a lot due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Being isolated for more than a year was difficult, but they find peace out in the forest. It’s not uncommon for them to go out more than once a day just to hike around. They’ve found streams, tadpoles, mushrooms, all kinds of pretty insects and a few animals. I’ve seen the videos to prove it. I have a friend who comes back with mushrooms a couple of times a month, and I hope to soon learn enough to find the right one so I, too, can bring some home.

Jacob and Natalie will both be furthering their educational pursuits at Oregon schools with plans to return to the area after receiving their respective degrees. “Investing in our youth and growing our workforce locally is essential in ensuring that our community can continue to grow and thrive,” said John Burns, Port CEO, “As we look to the future of our region, encouraging our young people to pursue successful careers and return to the area is critical.” For more information on the Port’s scholarship program and other community giving programming, please visit https://www.portofcoosbay.com/community-giving.

Library offers ASL Practice Place

has long wanted to search for her own mushrooms, and there’s no better place to do it than here. When I get out, there are no videos. It’s just a time to get away from the pressures of the real world and relax in nature. The large pine trees and the immense depth of the forest reminds you how small you really are in the world. When you come that realization, it becomes easier to understand your problems are not that big. About a month ago during a trip to Northern California, I pulled off Highway 101 and spent some time exploring the forest just to get up close to the redwood trees. One day, we will go to the national forest, but I didn’t want to wait. I wanted to see nature’s giants, so I spent 20 or 30 minutes just walking around and looking. It wasn’t

The World

The Chamber Minute: Heroes at the chamber At a workshop I was coordinating, to supplement the biographical information for each speaker, I asked them, “Who was your childhood hero?” The results were interesting and enlightening. One said, “The Lone Ranger, as he always wore the white hat and also worked out of tough situations with grace.” An OSU professor commented, “I think I was too busy being a kid to have a real childhood hero other than a few of the larger-than-life figures

like John F. Kennedy, the early astronauts or the Beatles. But in reflection as an adult, the no contest winners in this category are my parents. Basically, their courage, very hard work, and sacrifices gave me the extraordinary opportunity of living in the USA and getting a first class education. One response was somewhat different. “I always felt that most heroes were common folks in the right place at the right time faced with having to do something heroically.” Heroes make a difference, in large

and small ways. Heroes fight your fires, coach your children in soccer and serve meals at the senior center. Their goal is to make life a little better for those around them. We are surrounded by heroes in your Chamber of Commerce, men and women working to make Oregon’s Bay Area a great place to live and grow in. We succeed because they are willing to give their time and skill, freely. For those of you actively engaged,

thank you. For those not yet on the team, we need you. Be a hero today for someone, join us and make good things happen. Remember our business is helping your Business. And like us on Facebook.

North Bend City Planner Chelsea Schnabel recently became AICP certified. The American Institute of Certified Planners is the American Planning Association’s professional institute and provides the only nationwide, independent verification of planners’ qualifications. Certified planners pledge to uphold high standards of practice, ethics and professional conduct and keep their skills sharp and up to date by continuously pursuing advanced professional education. Schnabel passed the exam on her first attempt. Pictured are Schnabel and North Bend Public Works Director Ralph Dunham.

Southwestern Oregon Community College closes out the 2020-21 Physics and Astronomy Lecture Series by welcoming Dr. Holly Gilbert, director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research High Altitude Observatory. In her talk “A New Era in Solar Observations,” Gilbert will discuss some of the current solar and heliospheric observations (both space-based and ground-based) and the scientific implications thereof. The public is welcome to listen in on this fascinating subject on June 3, at 6:30 p.m. via Livestream at https:// livestream.com/swocc/physicsandastronomy2020-21. In a preview of her lecture Gilbert shares, “The newest generation of solar observational data is allowing a pivot toward making connections in the various solar physics domains and facilitating advanced modeling for space weather conditions and impacts. We study important physical couplings in the solar atmospheric layers, as well as connections from the solar corona through the heliosphere. To advance

our understanding of how solar activity and variability impact space weather conditions, improved and novel observations have recently come online from space and from the ground. For example, the Solar Orbiter mission is making connections between phenomena on the Sun and their manifestations in interplanetary space. Ground-based observations from the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory and the new Daniel K. Inouye telescope in Hawaii are advancing our understanding of emerging and evolving magnetic fields in the solar atmosphere.” Gilbert’s talk will highlight some of these observations, the science they are enabling and the implications for space weather forecasting and prediction. The Southwestern Physics and Astronomy Lecture Series is sponsored in part by the Southwestern Foundation. For information about this month’s lecture and future events, contact Dr. Aaron Coyner, associate professor of physics, at aaron.coyner@ socc.edu.

Some wood stove manufacturers have welded the air controls open on their wood stoves in order to pass the new EPA standard. Before you purchase a new wood stove, make sure to check the BTU range. For example 12,000 - 60,000 BTU’s is a good range and 35,000-60,000 BTU’s is a bad range. If the BTU range is not printed in the brochure, the EPA has a website where you can check the manufacturer’s performance range.

Forest From B1

much, but it was enough to inspire me to return. In today’s world, we are surrounded by technology that drives us away from nature. At home, there’s smart TVs, applications we can talk to to play music or get information, tablets, video game systems, laptops and, of course, our phones. Even when we go out, some of those items come with us. But getting into the forest changes that, at least for me. My phone goes away, there’s no music, no distractions. And I walk, listen, watch. It’s refreshing and reminds me of simpler

times. How many of you can remember the awe of hearing a bird chirp or a wolf howl in the distance? If you want to try it yourself, there are great places to hike and get away. South Slough Reserve has several amazing hiking trails. A little close to home on Cape Arago Highway by Sunset Bay, there are trails almost everywhere. Even heading out toward Bandon, there are places to pull over and hike. If you want to really explore, go a little further and check out the many trails between Gold Beach and Brookings. We live in the forest. It surrounds us every day. So why not take some time, walk into it and see how it makes you feel.
