Accused killer will not waive extradition Nicholson remains in custody in Wisconsin while DA asks for his return

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

A man wanted for killing three people in North Bend last month is not waiving extradition and continues to be held in Wisconsin.

District Attorney R. Paul Frasier announced last week that Oen Evan Nicholson declined to waive extradition. As a result, Frasier said his office is preparing documents to send to Oregon Gov. Kate Brown while asking Brown to issue a governor’s war-

rant for Nicholson’s extradition.

If Brown agrees, she will issue the warrant, asking the governor of Wisconsin to honor the warrant, which will bring Nicholson back to Oregon to face charges.

Frasier said it will take weeks or even months for the process to

be completed.

Coos County is seeking to bring Nicholson back to face six charges of first-degree murder, one charge of attempted murder, one charge of assault and two charges of failure to perform duties as a driver resulting in injury.

NORTH BEND ─ Over 15,000 people gathered on the dunes this weekend.

Recreational enthusiasts from around the country flocked to Coos County to participate in the sixth annual UTV Takeover, making it the largest event it has seen so far.

“UTV Takeover is the nation’s largest tour of off-road events for UTV and off-road vehicles in general,” said Zach Jeffers, media and marketing director for the touring event.

“Every year we put on these large events at destination locations where people … can experience something they can’t get anywhere else.”

According to Jeffers, tens of thousands of people follow UTV Takeover where he said, “You can always have a good time, but you can have an epic time with a thousand of your friends.”

UTV Takeover originated in Coos Bay, he added, though it has grown to feature racing, drag racing, the short course, wheelie competitions, as well as a kid’s zone which gives “parents a break before lunch,” Jeffers said.

“We have cornhole tournaments and all sorts of family-friendly activities,” he continued.

UTV Takeover begins its summer schedule in Coos Bay before heading east to Virginia for more trail- and mud-oriented events.

“Each of our events is a little unique where we’re focused on the culture of the area,” he said.

The tour includes Oklahoma, as well as Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane, Utah where

Police believe Nicholson was responsible for killing three people in the morning of June 18 in North Bend. According to information released by Frasier and the North Bend Police

Events to celebrate July 4th

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

America will celebrate its birthday this weekend, and around Coos County, a variety of celebrations are planned.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Independence Day celebration in Coos Bay will look different this year. The city’s traditional Independence Day activities and fireworks display in Mingus Park are again on hold, but there will still be an opportunity to celebrate.

The Mill Casino is partnering with Coos Bay and North Bend leaders for what it calls the “Bay Area Fireworks Extravaganza.”

The larger and more extravagant display hosted by The Mill will move to the entrance of the bay’s Marshfield Channel, across from the Coos History Museum Please see July 4th, Page A2

Spectators watch along the Coos Bay Boardwalk as fireworks flash overhead. Coos Bay, North Bend and The Mill Casino are partnering for an Independence Day fireworks show Friday night.

Coos County government offices will fully reopen to the public July 6, with no COVID restrictions in place.

Commissioners met Tuesday and voted to lift restrictions for government offices effective Wednesday. They agreed to ask all county employees working from home to return to the office July 6, opening all offices for regular business at the same time.

Before the meeting, the county had a policy requiring people who were not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to continue to wear face masks in county buildings.

But with the state lifting most mandates June 30, the county followed suit.

The lone exception is at Coos Health & Wellness, where the state requirement for masking at medical facilities keeps the mask mandate in place.

The move came at the same time as Sheriff Craig Zanni and District Attorney R. Paul Frasier announced the legal system was also opening back up.

Zanni said the county jail would re-open to full capacity, with all 96 beds available for inmates.

“We are going to open up, but we are going to follow some of the protocols, primarily to protect our employees,” Zanni said. “At the direction of the medical staff, we are trying to protect our inmates and our employees.”

Frasier said the court system would reopen fully with no COVID restrictions. He said people can wear masks if they prefer, but they might be asked to take them off at certain times, such as if they are testifying.

“From my perspective, not having the social distancing is really good,” Frasier said.

“We can get back to using the jury box the way it was intended, and we can do more than one trial a day.”

Zanni was asked if opening the jail would allow people arrested for minor offenses to be booked into the jail. The answer is yes and no, he said.

“We will be back basically to normal operations,” the sheriff said. “That means for lesser offenses, we will book them and not necessarily hold them. It’s been that way for years. That means some jurisdictions are dropping them off and leaving them.”

The commissioners did debate briefly about whether to reopen county offices June Please see County, Page A3

Federal government looking at unprecedented fire season

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

As much of the nation prepares for what could be a disastrous fire season, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is urging local residents to be watchdogs in an effort to protect communities from major blazes.

During a conference call with the media Saturday, Wyden said people in neighborhoods across Oregon and the western part of the nation could stop the biggest threats before they start.

“Folks that are out in the community, when they see any signs like dropped matches, burns in their neighborhoods, the really important thing for people to do is not take but a minute and call the local fire officials. What the public can say is we can be the watchdogs over some of these threats.”

Wyden said it is important for every person to play a role this year, saying he expects the fire season to be unprecedented.

Because of the threat, Wyden has been working closely with the Biden administration, the U.S. Forest Service and others to come up with a plan to handle the potential of a fire season no one has seen before.

Department, Nicholson is believed to have murdered his father, Charles Simms Nicholson at an RV at The Mill Casino RV Park.

Charles Nicholson was killed by multiple sharp force injuries to his neck, chest and abdomen.

After killing his father, Oen Nicholson took his dad’s 2019 Dodge 3500, and left the RV park. While driving away at a high rate of speed, he hit two

“For several weeks, I have been working very closely with the White House and the Forest Service to make sure they are prepared to deal with the unprecedented fire season in the west,” Wyden said.

“Specifically, the danger of multiple big fires, infernos, taking place simultaneously across the western states. The fires are going to stress local, state and federal resources to the breaking point unless we are prepared. Millions of westerners this morning are collectively holding their breath about the prospect of one of these infernos ripping through their town.”

Wyden said after his continued discussions in D.C., he expects announcements to be made this week outlining federal plans for the fire season.

“I expect the Biden administration will have more to say publicly about this threat, this grave threat, in the next few days,” Wyden said.

“I’ve been raising this in public hearings and private conversations every single day.”

While Wyden said he has not seen the White House plan, he expects the federal government to explain how it might fight multiple large fires at one

time.

“Specifically, what I think we’ll hear is about making sure there are personnel available in the west to fight multiple fires, the big fires, at the same time,” he said. “The reason I emphasize this is because this is a departure from the past. Usually, we have one big fire, and other western states will chip in for the state that was hit the hardest. Now, we’re talking about something that’s unprecedented, which is big fires simultaneously throughout the west.”

Wyden said during a recent public hearing, the Forest Service admitted it could be a very difficult year.

“Vicki Christiansen, the head of the Forest Service, said she felt resources are already at the breaking point,” Wyden said. “What we’re going to hear about this week is making sure there’s more personnel available to fight multiple fires at the same time, there’s equipment to back that up and that local, state and federal firefighters are going to be tightly coordinated in order to deal with this.”

In addition to more firefighters, Wyden said more funding will be needed.

“I do believe it’s going to take additional resources

Anthony Oyster was killed at the scene while his wife, Linda Oyster, suffered life-threatening injuries and was transported to Bay Area Hospital and, later, River Bend Hospital in Springfield.

Police allege Nicholson drove away after hitting the Oysters, traveling approximately a mile, where he stopped at the Herbal Choices marijuana dispensary in North Bend.

Nicholson went inside and fired multiple shots at Jennifer Davidson, who died

at the scene.

After buying more ammunition at Big 5 Sporting Goods, Nicholson fled in the pickup truck. The truck was wrecked and set on fire in Lane County, and Nicholson later kidnapped Laura Johnson in Springfield.

Nicholson forced Johnson to drive more than 2,000 miles before he turned himself in to police in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Nichol remains in custody in Wisconsin, while Frasier works to get him extradited back to Coos County.

Wyden said there are two fronts where the threat

of dangerous fires must be attacked. The first is have firefighters and equipment available when blazes erupt.

The second is an effort to thin out millions of acres of forest that are

a tinderbox right now.

Wyden said it will cost up to $20 billion to thin out the forest, which will ease the threat in the long run.

Jeffers described red and glassy sand. “…You travel five seconds and you’re on rocks,” he said. “You can travel to the Grand Canyon, camp, and come back. We’re organizing events around an epic destination experience.”

For the southern Oregon coast experience, Jeffers said UTV Takeover organizers and owners met with both North Bend and Coos Bay city mayors to discuss the impact it has on the local community.

“This community is focused on fishing and various aspects of a small coastal community, except when it comes to recreation,” he said. “They have this amazing expanse of sand dunes, and this section of dunes is loose, wide and varied. In Winchester (Bay), you have huge dunes (but) come to (North Bend) and have dunes everyone can appreciate.

People get scared of big dunes, but you can come out here and do night rides that starts as a single file line….”

UTV Takeover has grown steadily over the years. Even during 2020’s pandemic, Jeffers said UTV Takeover grew by 10 to 20 percent.

“The nature of our events being outside in the air and sunshine, we were able to navigate the regulatory struggle of putting on an event,” he said. “We made it happen and the community showed up and supported us.”

This year, Jeffers said the event is growing roughly 80 percent with the Utah tour anticipated to be the biggest of the year.

turbines — the largest of which are taller than the Statue of Liberty and the Washington Monument at more than 850 feet — not to mention the span of the whirling blades — which can be longer than a football field.

Although they are typically much larger, offshore turbines essentially work the same as onshore turbines.

As wind causes the blades to spin, they produce kinetic energy, which is converted to electrical energy by a generator inside the turbine. The electricity is shuttled to an offshore substation through underwater cables, and then transported to an onshore substation, where it is finally distributed to homes and businesses.

Whitney Hauer, renewable energy specialist, said offshore wind turbines can produce more energy than

on the 100 acres owned by the Goergen family, which shares one mile of common boundary line with the U.S. Forest Service and Coos Bay Rail Line. Todd Goergen said that his family has held that piece of land, which contains some of the sand dunes, as well as a camping area since the 1960s.

“We used to see VW Bugs out here rolling around,” he remembered.

“My brother and I owned an ice company and delivered ice up and down the coast and saw a need for recreational access, camping facilities right on the dunes, so we opened the campground … (in) the early 1990s … and developed the existing campground in 2012.”

As for working with the owners and organizers for UTV Takeover, Goergen said it is “a tremendous asset for the community.” “(This) wouldn’t be possible without the volunteers associated with the event or stakeholders like the Port of Coos Bay, Coos County, Roseburg Forest Products, all the landowners out here,” he said. “…

The Forest Service has been excellent to deal with… (And) one of the major stakeholders that cooperated with this year’s event, that allowed access to their property on the southside of Trans Pacific Parkway, was Pembina….”

Goergen added that his family is in the process of expanding the campground to accommodate more activities and events like UTV Takeover.

“We want to expand north of the existent campground,” he said. “We’re currently adding another 76 full-service sites. We’re hoping to have it done before Labor Day.” His family has worked landlocked turbines because the wind is stronger and more consistent.

In shallow water, turbines are secured directly to the ocean floor, but floating foundations are used in deeper waters. Hauer said floating offshore wind technology will most likely be used on the West Coast due to steep drop-offs along the continental shelf. Offshore turbines could be built anywhere from three to 300 nautical miles offshore.

In June of 2020, the state of Oregon and the BOEM committed to offshore wind energy planning.

Since then, the BOEM initiated a multi-year planning process, beginning with a mass data collection phase.

They are looking at a wide variety of information, including potential human and environmental impacts, natural disaster risk — such as a tsunami — and wind speeds in particular locations, among many other data points.

UTV Takeover had multiple racing events, including racing, wheelie contests and family-friendly activities with UTV Takeover to facilitate other events, most recently a smaller one last fall.

“We worked with Coos Health and Wellness to make sure we had a safe event,” he said. “We’re looking at doing one or two more events, not this big, throughout the year.”

Goergen thanked the community for embracing the event, as well as UTV Takeover co-owners Steve McCarthy and Jim McIntire for bringing it to the area.

Gate Security Lead Krystal Hopper said all the individuals who were at the gates were volunteers.

“UTV Takeover makes donations to local nonprof-

its like the Hauser/Dune Rescue Patrol, which has been busy, and the local sheriff’s office,” Hopper said. “My focus is veteran support, so my gate security team … we split (the donation) to local nonprofit veteran support organizations.”

UTV Takeover staff member Tyke Murdock, who has been involved every year since its inception, said he is amazed by the rapid growth in attendance and events.

“It brings a lot of money to our state, our area and local businesses,” he said. “(And) with the coronavirus and everyone being locked in at home, this year everyone wants to

BOEM even tracks the unexploded weapons lingering in ocean waters along the West Coast; remnants of past wars, which either missed their target or were dumped.

If you are wondering, there are two relatively small “explosive dumping areas” about 100 miles West of Astoria, according to the West Coast Ocean Data Portal.

Hauer said BOEM is scouting the entire Oregon Coast for potential wind farm locations. On average, offshore wind speeds in Oregon are 15 miles per hour, according to the presentation. Although she said offshore wind in Southern Oregon is considered “world class,” at 22-23 mph, on average.

America’s first offshore wind farm is the Block Island Wind Farm off the coast of Rhode Island.

There, five turbines create enough energy to power 17,000 homes in New England. Block Island finished construction in 2016

and came online shortly thereafter. There are more than 30 offshore wind projects across the U.S. in various stages of development, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

After data collection is finished, specific locations will be identified for wind farms, which is an array of turbines.

Then, a plethora of environmental surveys will be conducted in those locations, and BOEM will purchase a lease from the state. After it assumes control, BOEM will issue more environmental surveys, including geological and biological surveys, and after extensive surveying, construction on a wind farm can finally begin.

Recently, Representative David Brock-Smith submitted a bill to the state legislature, which aims to establish three Gigawatts of commercial scale floating offshore wind energy projects within federal waters off the Oregon Coast by 2030.

Let's fix the Medicare sign-up process

By Janet Trautwein Each year, an obscure federal rule forces thousands of seniors to pay penalties for the rest of their lives simply because they made an honest mistake while signing up for Medicare. That number will rise unless Congress modernizes the program's enrollment process.

Seniors are twice as likely to be working today as in 1985. So more of them have to decide whether to sign up for Medicare when they become eligible at age 65 or keep their job-based health plan. Making the wrong decision can be costly.

Enrollment in Medicare Part A, which covers hospital care, is automatic and free for most people.

But seniors must elect to join Parts B and D, which cover doctor's bills and prescription drugs, respectively.

Seniors can postpone signing up for Parts B and D until they stop working, at which point a special enrollment period begins.

But some of these people may be better suited to stay on their employer-sponsored plans temporarily under the terms of a 1985 law known as COBRA. The law allows people to remain enrolled in an employer-sponsored plan for up to 18 months after exiting a job, provided they pay the full premium.

Perhaps they've already met their deductible for the year. Or maybe they have a younger spouse still on their health plan. In each case, COBRA may be a better option.

Because their employer-sponsored coverage continues seamlessly, these seniors may believe they can continue to delay enrolling in Parts B and D. But that's not the case -and so the "COBRA trap" is sprung.

Medicare requires seniors to have "creditable coverage" if they choose not to enroll in the program. In other words, they must have health benefits that Medicare considers to be as good as or better than its own.

Employer-sponsored

plans count as "creditable."

But COBRA generally does not.

That doesn't make sense.

If an employer-sponsored plan is considered creditable, how can an extension of the exact same plan under COBRA not be?

The moment COBRA beneficiaries leave their jobs, they have eight months to sign up for Medicare Part B - and 63 days for Part D - under the terms of their special enrollment period. If they don’t, then they may be locked out of Medicare when their COBRA coverage ends.

That can create quite the headache. Former COBRA beneficiaries have to secure alternate coverage to tide them over while they wait for Medicare's open enrollment period at the end of the year.

Then there are the penalties associated with late enrollment. Those who sign up late for Part B pay a 10 percent penalty for each full 12-month period they could've been enrolled. On average, these penalties add more than $8,000 to a beneficiary's lifetime Part B premiums.

Seniors who fall into the COBRA trap are doing the same thing as their peers with employer-sponsored coverage. They're just being penalized thousands of dollars for it.

Fortunately, there's an easy fix.

Last year, Congress passed the bipartisan BENES Act, which streamlines Medicare's enrollment process.

But left on the cutting room floor was a provision that would have required the government to notify seniors before their 65th birthday of the enrollment rules and how Medicare interacts with other insurance coverage.

Congress could bring back this provision in a new bill. Even better, it could eliminate the COBRA trap altogether - by defining COBRA as creditable coverage for Medicare.

Letters to the Editor Leave the meat behind on Independence Day The scarcity of animal meat caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will keep our outdoor grills safer this Independence Day. Folks who grill hamburgers and hot dogs face a nasty choice. The U.S. Meat and Poultry Hotline advises grilling at high temperature to avoid food poisoning by E. coli and Salmonella bacteria. But the National Cancer Institute warns that high-temperature grilling of processed meats

generates cancer-causing compounds.

Fortunately, we no longer need to choose between food poisoning and cancer.

A bunch of enterprising U.S. food processors have met this challenge head-on by developing a rich variety of convenient, healthful, delicious plant-based veggie burgers, veggie dogs and soy nuggets. These products don’t harbor nasty bugs or cancer-causing compounds. They are missing the cholesterol, saturated fats, drugs, hormones and pesticides of their animal-based alternatives.

And they are waiting for us in the frozen food section of our favorite supermarket, along with nut-based ice creams and other dairy-free desserts.

This Independence Day, let's declare our independence from the meat industry and their barbecue bugs. Let’s welcome the convenient, delicious, healthful, ecofriendly, compassionate plant-based meats and dairy foods into our kitchens.

Learn how to love the bear’s world

By John Horning Last spring, at the height of some of the most anxiety-ridden moments of the pandemic, my father read a poem to me over the phone. He’s 89 this year, and while he’s vibrant and healthy I don’t take for granted any opportunity to hear his voice — especially when he’s reciting a poem.

The poem, Mary Oliver’s Spring, describes the emergence of a black bear from its winter slumber.

Oliver writes: “There is only one question: how to love this world.”

This spring, as bruins emerged across the American West, I found myself wondering about the secret lives bears lead. As their hunger grows, do they imagine eating trout from a Rocky Mountain stream?

Is it hunger pangs or some deeper yearning perhaps to experience the new world – that drives bears from the comfort and warmth of their dens?

I’ve been thinking about bears and how to love their world because bear-management-practices have been in the spotlight recently, a light that intensified after two people were killed by bears, one in Montana and one in Colorado.

The death of those people was tragic. Yet,

we must remember that fatal attacks remain rare. A bear does not wake up in the morning, pack a rifle, and set out to kill a human being. Bears struggle to survive in an increasingly diminishing wild that brings them in contact with humans more frequently.

Humanity’s mission, I believe, is not to kill them but to find ways to coexist.

On April 30, Montana Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a bill that allows hunters to use hounds to hunt black bears in the spring, when they’re with cubs and ravenous for food. This is the same governor who illegally trapped and killed one of Yellowstone’s iconic wolves.

One of the bills’ key sponsors, state Sen. Tom MacGillivray, offered a consistent refrain about bears: “Over the last seven, eight years we’ve seen a dramatic decrease in the whitetail population, and, interestingly enough, a dramatic increase in the black bear population,” he said.

“This bill helps to balance that out.”

Not a shred of science supports this contention.

There’s a long-standing war on carnivores and blaming bears is a convenient excuse for what ails the deer and the deer hunter’s world. In reality, a complex host of factors including habitat loss due

to sprawl, climate change and other dynamics are to blame.

Meanwhile, in Colorado, a federal judge struck down a controversial plan supported by the state’s wildlife agency, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department, to “study” whether killing black bears — and mountain lions — would benefit mule deer.

Sadly, the judge’s ruling denying federal funding of the bear-killing plan came too late for the dozens of Colorado bears that were killed in the study, one the agency’s scientists had to know was laden with anti-carnivore bias.

Though Colorado and Montana are worlds apart on the political spectrum, the hostility towards bears and other carnivores is a tie that binds, whether it originates in a state legislature or in the state agency charged with managing wildlife.

At a time when the attitudes of most Montanans, Coloradans and Americans at large are shifting dramatically to favor greater coexistence with fanged creatures, those in power over the lives of wild animals are digging in their heels. Instead of figuring out how to live with them, Montana and Colorado are making it easier to kill bears.

The word poetry comes

from the Greek poetes, meaning “to create.”

Whenever possible, I believe we should attempt to create opportunities for all life to thrive. It pains me that often those at the state level responsible for overseeing the management of wildlife seem to take more pleasure in the destruction of bears than in figuring out better ways for humans to coexist with them.

Wildlife management needs a new reason to exist, one that isn’t based on killing. Its mission might read like this: We aim to protect wildlife, making no distinction between predator and prey. We aim to enhance that sense of wonder most of us experience when we see animals in the wild.

And instead of taking more courses in traditional wildlife management, the profession might consider including reading some of the best American poetry inspired by nature and the creatures that depend on still-wild places.

They could start with Mary Oliver’s Spring.

OBITUARIES Malcolm "Mac" Corrigall

Delia Ann Daniel

April 30, 1948 – June 8, 2021

June 11, 1929 – June 18, 2021

With his wife, Kathie at his side long-time Coos County attorney Malcolm Corrigall passed away peacefully after a sevenyear battle with prostate cancer. Malcolm was born in Ontario, Oregon, to James and Virginia (Richards) Corrigall.

Mac was raised in Westfall, Oregon, on the family’s cattle ranch which had been established by his Scottish immigrant grandparents, Herbert and Elizabeth Corrigall. He attended a one-room grade school in Westfall before graduating from Harper Union High School in Harper, Oregon. Following graduation, Mac attended Eastern Oregon College in La Grande for one year

before transferring to the University of Oregon where he earned his undergraduate degree as well as his law degree.

While working on a Bureau of Land Management summer fire crew in Juntura, Oregon, in 1968, Mac met Kathie who was working at the Oasis café. They were married in 1971.

Malcolm began practicing law in Coos County in 1973 with the firm of McNutt, Gant, Ormsbee and Gardner.

In 1976 Mac moved to Albany, Oregon, where he practiced with Ed Daniels until returning to Coos Bay in 1978. Upon his return he and Ormsbee subsequently formed a partnership and practiced together for many years before being joined

by Nathaniel McClintock.

Following Orrin’s retirement Karen Costello joined the firm. Mac continued to practice law until January, 2014, always wearing his trademark cowboy boots. In 2013 Mac was honored as “Boss of the Year” by NALS of Southern Oregon Coast.

Mac was a quiet, gentle, loyal man who had a great sense of humor and honor and truly cared about others.

He thoroughly enjoyed tending his tropical fish tanks, working around his home, and rafting the wilderness section of the Rogue River. An avid rafter he made well over 75 trips with family and friends, specifically Jimmie Pederson and the late Steve Threet. He really loved his times on the Rogue. Mac was also a Duck fan, holding season football tickets and watching their televised football and basketball games.

Malcolm is survived

by Kathleen (Brinton) Corrigall, his wife of nearly 50 years; sister, Patricia (Corrigall) Trenkel (Fred) and brother, Roger Corrigall (Anne); nieces, Jan (Trenkel) Amoroso (Frank) and Kelly (Corrigall) Ware; nephews, Jared Corrigall (Lori) and Vance Trenkel (Saralena). He was preceded in death by parents, James and Virginia Corrigall.

An informal celebration of life will be held in Coos Bay on Saturday, July 10, 2021 from 1-4 pm at the Coach House tent. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a charity of one’s choice.

Lee Hughes

SERVICE NOTICE

high school degree, and married Tomiko Gohara on June, 26, 1959. Lee earned the rank of E9 (Master Chief Petty Officer). During his time of service, Lee and Tomiko lived in San Diego, Seattle, Virginia, Guam, Japan and Hawaii.

After retiring from the military, Lee and Tomiko moved to Portland, where Lee worked for General Electric Company for a short time. Their next move was to San Diego, where Lee worked at Scribs Hospital for 21 years, in the maintenance department.

He also owned and operated a pet store for several years during this time in San Diego. Popeye, a yellownapped Amazon talking parrot, became one of Lee’s favorite friends. Lee brought him home from the pet store, when no one else wanted him. Popeye liked Lee alone. He was a oneman pet, with no love for Tomiko. Lee had Popeye for 25 years.

Lee finally retired, and he and Tomiko hit the road, RVing for a year in a 40-foot motor home with two dogs and Lee’s parrot, before settling in Reedsport, Oregon, September 1994.

Lee missed hunting and fishing, and Tomiko was ready for a permanent home. They purchased a home at River Bend Mobile Park Resort. Lee kept busy fishing, hunting and

May 6, 1946 – June 22, 2021

volunteering in the STEP program, and occasionally visited the local casino to test his luck. Watching sports on TV was an important part of his day, with football being his favorite.

December 7, 2015, Tomiko passed away, after a battle with cancer.

Lee’s nephew, James, would always stop and visit Lee on his work travels in the Reedsport area, sometimes staying overnight before traveling home to Astoria. Lee moved to Astoria in 2018 to live closer to his nephew, James, and lived there until his passing on June 10, 2021.

Lee was preceded in death by his brothers, Bob and Lanny; and sister, Judy.

He is survived by his sisters, Janet, Linda, and Laveta; along with nieces and nephews.

Lee always had a great sense of humor, joking with doctors, medics, nurses, even when he was very ill.

He was a very kind man and always a great listener. We treasure our memories of good times with Lee and the positive impact on our lives.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND FOR WOMAN SEEKING TO VOLUNTEER

DEAR ABBY: I'm writing in response to your answer to "Broke But Available" (March 23), the retired woman seeking ecological volunteer opportunities. I loved your reply and your suggestion to volunteer by providing education at a community center. In addition to community centers, many schools, scout troops, youth groups, nursing homes, etc., are always looking for knowledgeable people to provide information on a variety of topics.

Far too many individuals aren't getting nearly enough -- or ANY -- information about ecology or learning ways to protect the beautiful natural world around us. I truly hope "BBA" will take you up on your suggestion by sharing something she cares about with others.

-- FORMER TEACHER IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR FORMER TEACHER: Thank you for your comments. I heard from volunteer experts across the country responding to that letter and offering excellent suggestions. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Volunteers are needed to remove invasive species to protect our native ecosystems, to monitor streams for water quality, to pick up trash along our great rivers and to stabilize public trails. The letter writer should contact her state and national conservation departments about opportunities. -- LINDA V. IN MISSOURI DEAR ABBY: The retired lady could become an extension master gardener.

EMG programs in all 50 states train volunteers through the state's land grant university and its cooperative extension service. Master gardeners educate the

public by operating speakers' bureaus, maintaining demonstration gardens, staffing "hotlines" to answer gardening questions and running horticulture therapy programs. -- PROUD PROGRAM PARTICIPANT DEAR ABBY: In regard to the letter writer who is looking to volunteer doing something ecological, I would suggest she start at a local farmers' market.

People who are interested tend to gather there and have contacts that can lead to opportunities. -- ED H. IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR ABBY: For the hands-on retiree looking for volunteer work, many churches have connections to work to be done. She should also visit VolunteerMatch (volunteermatch.org), where she can see all the various types of volunteer jobs that are available in her area.

-- ELAINE IN KANSAS CITY DEAR ABBY: I am a freshman in high school, and I just got heartbroken.

This boy I liked played me, and I don't know whether I should just accept the fact that he's bad and move on or be sad and wait it out. I told him I'm not a Barbie doll he can pick up and play with when he's bored, but I still like him. Do you have any advice for me? -- BROKEN HEART IN OHIO DEAR BROKEN HEART: Yes, I do. Be glad you see this person for exactly who he is -- someone who cannot be relied upon -- and move on. I think you said it very well when you told him you aren't a toy to be played with. Now, learn from this experience and choose your next boyfriend accordingly.

Bandon photographer opens exhibit at Coos Art Museum Rocks, Vines and Lines in the Sand, an exhibition of photography and sculptural works by Susan Dimock, will be on display at Coos Art Museum. Dimock, an artist from Bandon, is exhibiting in the Mabel Hansen Gallery at the museum from July 17 through October 2.

Dimock is a social worker and psychotherapist turned nature photographer based in Bandon.

She specializes in both birds and oceanscapes, large and small. Dimock has done extensive tourism and contract work and her images have been utilized throughout the nation in print and in online publications.

Regarding seven years work on the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge project Dimock said, “My initial goal was simply to learn how to photograph the Oregon coastline and its wildlife.

However, during the process of countless days of walking the beaches with my camera, something more occurred within me…. I gained a heightened awareness that this sublime landscape is home to many creatures and that it is a dynamic, complex ecosystem. In tandem with this, came the knowledge that it had become a profound refuge for me as well.”

A free public opening reception for Rocks, Vines and Lines in the Sand will take place Friday, July 23, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the same time as a reception for an exhibition by Ashland,

Bandon to celebrate Independence Day After COVID-19 put an end to Independence Day celebrations a year ago, Bandon will return to celebrate America's birthday Sunday. Bandon’s Fourth festivities are slated to start with a parade in old town and grand fireworks display on the Coquille River waterfront, according to the Bandon Chamber of Commerce.

The parade will set off at 10 a.m. and will travel down Highway 101 through old town Bandon. Most of the traditional activities during the day have been called off due to COVID, but the chamber suggests using the day for family events such as a picnic with family and friends or flying a kite at the beach.

On Sunday night, the grand fireworks display over the Coquille River will continue, and all of Bandon is invited to watch the sky light up.

The World

AS I SEE IT

By Mary Schamehorn The realization that I can copy photos out of my original Western World newspapers, and that they print well as evidenced by the photo of the Coast Guard station last week, has opened up a whole new avenue for me to share with you. This week, I want to talk about efforts to mine black sands in the Seven Devils area for minerals.

I am sharing a picture from the May 22, 1952, Western World of a 60-ton bucket dredging machine that was to begin tearing up the earth at the old Pioneer mine, north of Bullards, where the Coast Mineral company was setting up for stripping operations.

The caption explains that "instead of tunneling to follow the black sand deposits, as was done in years past, the new operation will uncover the black sand stratus from the top down. The 2-1/2 yard bucket will then scrape up the black sands and load them onto conveyors which will take them to the concentrating and separating plants.

"The picture was taken after the machine had been loaded from a railroad flatcar onto a barge and the tug Port of Bandon is standing by ready to tow the barge to Randolph where it was unloaded and from which point the machine was 'walked' under its own power to the mine."

The story actually dates back nearly 100 years.

"With nearly all the required machinery at hand and most of it installed and ready for operation ... at the old Pioneer mine on Cut Creek on the Seven Devils road, practically concludes preparations for an exhaustive project to extract the valuable minerals from the black sands that nearly 100 years ago caused a gold rush to this area and resulted in the building of a community of several thousand people known as Randolph."

Unfortunately, I don't have access to papers dating that far back, but I am sure it was quite a story.

"Actually mining and concentrating of black sands is scheduled to begin within a short time, following three years of quiet development and the expenditure of more than a quarter of a million dollars by the Coast Minerals company.

"The plan for the old Pioneer, and also for the Eagle, is to strip off the overburden from the black sands, haul them west across the Seven Devils road to a screening plant where rocks and other heavy materials will be eliminated, then convey the sands by overhead conveyor belt to a stockpile slab for the concentrating plant.

"Experiments to date indicate that with modern equipment installed, the gold and platinum project will be a profitable venture in itself."

History will show that like the several attempts at drilling for oil in the Bandon area, no one got rich mining for gold, platinum or oil.... but it wasn't for a lack of trying.

I loved the second picture, taken during the Cranberry Festival in 1962, because I was able to identify several of the people in the photo. After Googling it, I learned that 40/8 was a society of American veterans and service members committed to charitable and patriotic aims. This vehicle apparently belonged to the Coos County 40/8 group, who brought it to the festival and took people for rides around City Park. I remember taking the photo, but it was not one that was printed in the paper.

Facing the camera on the front of the vehicle is Pat Fraser, and standing

FRIDAY, JULY 2, 2021 | A7

Looking for gold just behind the door, I believe, is Greg Fraser. Riding in the back, wearing the plaid jacket, is Cliff George, long-time owner of the Bandon Food Center, which was located just south of town in the building now owned by Larry Hardin, where Brian Vick sold antiques.

The third picture I am sharing was taken in City Park in September of 1966 as Myron Spady, back to camera, and Tom Gant prepare to toss the meat for the Cranberry Festival Beef Barbecue into the big open pit at the rear of what was then the new bandstand. Today, both men are in their 90s and still live in Bandon. An article said a record crowd of 950 people enjoyed the barbecue lunch that day.

Chere Brazel was crowned queen of the festival the previous night during the annual coronation, with the crown placed on her head by the previous year's queen, Sharon Ward. *

I was sad to learn that George Trott, a lifetime resident of Bandon who served over 30 years as commander of the local VFW Post, died at Bay Area Hospital on June 23 from complications of lung cancer and pneumonia.

George served as an MP in the U.S. Army, with two tours of duty in Vietnam. I have known George most of my life, as we were in the same class, having graduated together from Bandon High in 1957.

Among his immediate survivors are his wife, Myrna, Bandon; daughters, Janice Hester, Bandon, and Cindy Kirk of La Pine; and sons, Gary Trott of Bandon and Kelly Trott of LaPine.

The family said that memorial services will be held at a later date. *

I heard from a good friend that her neighbor, David Burns, who lived on Michigan Avenue, had died recently. David, who served his country in the U.S. Coast Guard, was 96 years old. *

*

*

I also learned that Marilyn Noorda's 62-year-old son, Jeffrey, died suddenly on June 24. Many of Marilyn's Bandon friends knew Jeffrey and saw him recently when he was in town to move his mother to her new home in Salt Lake City so she could be near her family. My heart goes out to Marilyn and her family. Marilyn is a sister to former city councilor Nancy Drew, and she served on the hospital board some years ago.

She and her late husband, Darwin, were active in the Good Neighbors club.

The 48 apartments, which will be a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, will be built in four two-story buildings.

I also learned last week that the owners of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort have purchased the Lake Bradley Christian Retreat property, which will be turned into staff housing.

The resort was built in the late '40s by Leona Koff and was known as Tanglewood for many years. In early 1962, it was purchased by Col. Homer B. Millard and his wife, Esther, who moved their Millard School from Langlois Mountain to the facility. Several months after the move, Col. Millard died. His wife continued to operate the school for several years. Millard was a preparatory school for the military academies and was attended by young men from all parts of the country.

Some years ago, it was purchased by the Applegate Christian Fellowship, and was primarily used as a site for Christian retreats.

The property, which is on the south side of Beach Loop Drive and fronts on Bradley Lake, can house several hundred people *

While attending the annual membership meeting of the Bandon Chamber, I learned that unless volunteers step forward very soon, there may not be a Cranberry Festival this year. Lori Osborne, the new chairman of the chamber board, said the reality is: "We have seven or eight people and we need 45 to 60 volunteers to make this happen."

People are urged to sign up at the visitor center if they are willing to help in

some capacity, or they can attend a meeting at 5:30 Thursday, July 1, in City Park to learn more about what is needed. People can also contact chamber Executive Director Margaret Pounder at mcp@bandon. com or call the chamber visitor center at 541-3479616.

Chosen to represent

the festival as princesses this year are McKenzie Williams and Madisan McCabe. Kenzie Basey will again serve as director of the court.

Other members of the chamber executive board are Sara Kimball, Umpqua Bank, secretary; Larry Langenberg, Edgewater's, treasurer; and Anthony

Zunino, Freedom Graphics, past chairman. Other members of the board are Kelley Basey, South Coast Xpress Lube; Archie Garrett, Historic Wilson's Market; Christine Whitmer Michalek, Big Wheel; Amanda Whitlatch, Edward Jones; and Jeffrey Miller, Coastal Sotheby's Realty.

The World

This week in Coos County history: June 30-July 3 100 YEARS — 1921 Heavy rains in Curry this week Steady down-pour for 36 hours along the Sixes Stops logging operations for week — claims 100 inches is record rainfall John Dashney who is operating a Port Orford cedar camp for E.J. Loney and others on the Sixes in Curry county came in today. He reports that section experienced one of the heaviest rains of the year this week. It started Tuesday night and for thirty-six hours he declares there was steady downpour.

It was impossible to work and the roads are so muddy now that the trucking of logs to Port Orford is impossible. The camp has been closed until next week. His two sins and Paul Cowan came up with him.

100 inches of rain Judge John F. Hall says that he recalls one year, about 25 years ago, when the total rainfall on Coos Bay for one year totaled 100 inches. He said that Dr. O.E. Smith, then a well known resident of Marshfield, kept the weather record. Consequently Judge Hall smiles when some remark that the present year’s rainfall of about 82 inches is near breaking the record.

Dr. Keizer talks to Boy Scouts Addresses Troop No. 1 of North Bend Gives instructions as to first aid assistance in cases of accident Dr. Phil J. Keizer addressed Troop No. 1, Boys Scouts, in North Bend last night on the subject of first aid. The doctor told how the subject was taught to men in the army, and demonstrated the first aid tactics in carrying and caring for a man with a broken leg.

Scoutmaster Oscar Carlson and Assistant Scoutmaster Ralph McKay are planning other instructive talks for the boys.

Four celebrate too well here Police call halt to moonshine parties last night Each assessed $25 for imbibing too freely — Victor Anderson tries vanilla Four were booked at the Marshfield police station this morning on charges of intoxication as a result of starting their Fourth of July celebration a little in advance of the regular scheduled time.

Herman Navil and Paddy Eggis were

picked up on the street about 9 o’clock last evening by Officer Higley. Each put up $25 cash bail and both declared they would interview Recorder Butler today, thinking the assessment was too high.

With the high cost of living coming down in other lines, they figured that the city also should reduce its prices.

Victor Anderson was picked up by Marshal Carter with too big a load of vanilla extract. He still had some left in a bottle and this was confiscated.

Henry Ludwig of Bunker Hill landed in jail about 2:30 this morning. He was so badly intoxicated, according to Officer Higley’s notation on the police blotter, that he could not give his name. However, Marshal Carter recognized him this morning as an old offender from Bunker Hill.

Cedar is great resource here Geo. M. Cornwall writes of Coos Bay development Editor of The Timberman sees great prospect for development in this section Geo. M. Cornwall, editor of the Timberman of Portland who recently spent a few weeks here, prints the following in his paper: “The cutting of pulp stock for the paper mills at Oregon City and Lebanon is one of the new features of the Coos Bay district. In the case of one mil the entire run of spruce is being converted into cut-up pulp stock. Other mills are cutting white fir and hemlock pulp wood. Despite the fact that the price is low it affords an outlet and helps keep the wheels moving.

Port Orford cedar industry “The dominant industry in the Coos Bay, Coquille and Port Orford sections is the production of Port Orford cedar. This most remarkable wood is found growing only in the counties of Douglas, Coos and Curry in Oregon.

50 YEARS — 1971 Montana coach hired to head NB football A highly successful coach in Montana high school football circles has been named head grid mentor at North Bend High School, it was announced Thursday.

Dr. James Ulum, superintendent of North Bend School District 13, said Howard Johnson, 35, of Missoula, Mont., has been hired to replace Bill Youngmayr who resigned the position in June after

two years.

Johnson, a 1959 graduate of the University of Montana where he was a leading ground-gainer for two seasons, began his coaching career in 1959 at Salmon, Idaho.

From there, he went to Butte, Mont., where he claimed one state title for large schools.

The new Bulldog mentor went from Butte to Hamilton, Mont., in 1963, and his teams won divisional championships for three straight years. In 1966, Johnson moved to Missoula, where he headed another state championship team.

Marshfield will play grid contests at home With help from the University of Oregon, Marshfield High school will be able to play all its home football games in Pirate Stadium this fall, according to Bruce Hoffine, athletic director.

“We’ve secured the use of bleachers from the Oregon Athletic Department on a donation basis,” Hoffine said Friday, “and this will provide seating upwards of 2,000.”

Last winter’s devastating fire that razed the North grandstands at Pirate Stadium left seating for 1,300 in the South Stands, and the target date for completion of the new stands is Dec. 1 of this year — far too late for the football season.

“But Norv Ritchey (Oregon athletic director) gave us permission to pick up bleachers for use this fall,” Hoffine said, “and we’ll be placing them in the East end zone, primarily for student and general admission seating.”

20 YEARS — 2001 Hospital gets $20 million upgrade The exercise has been rigorous. The surgery came with a $20 million price tag, and now that the procedure’s almost done Bay Area Hospital is technologically fit.

“Patients now for the first time can drive in here,” said Bonnie Barron, the Coos Bay hospital’s public relations director, referring to the new admitting entrance on the third floor near the emergency room.

No more stepping out into the driving rain for patients entering or going home form a hospital stay. No more meandering through a lobby crowded with chairs stacked row after row to get to the main desk.

The new lobby is not so bright and it’s

quieter, more enclosed. The nearby waiting room for the emergency room looks out on the secluded Massey Memorial Garden.

While more space and better technology are two cornerstones of the several-year project, creating quiet spaces is another.

Bandon’s second stunning dunes course BANDON — The golf gem that is known as Bandon Dunes opened its newest attraction to the public on Sunday when the full 18 holes of Pacific Dunes opened for play.

More than 200 golfers, including Sen. Gordon Smith, got their first look at the course on a day with blue skies, a brisk breeze and plentiful smiles.

Pacific Dunes joins nationally renowned Bandon Dunes, which opened in 1999, and the world-class practice facility to make the Bandon Dunes resort one of the top golfing locations on the West Coast. The Bandon Dunes course has been ranked in the top 10 in the United States by several golf publications and Pacific Dunes is expected to earn similar rankings.

Bandon Dunes owner Mike Keiser repeatedly received praise from the people about the quality and beauty of the two courses as he stood on the first tee greeting golfers and handing out commemorative medallions marking the occasion.

“That is a fantastic course,” said Ted Watkins, who came up for the opening from Pistol River. “I’ve played most of the Scottish courses and this is just as challenging. Each hole has an individual character to it that is just magnificent.”

More than one drive from the first tee got caught up in the wind and wound up off track in the gorse bushes or tall beach grass. Later in their rounds, golfers faced other perils including the course’s only water hazard — the Pacific Ocean (several holes run along a cliff above the beach) — and large sandy waste areas that gobbled up balls. Nobody seemed to mind.

“Everyone is walking off the 18th (green) with smiles on their faces,” said superintendent Ken Nice. “I think they’re having a good time.”

Kennon qualifies for U.S. Amateur The World

John Gunther, The World

North Bend swimmer Bella Jones, seated second from right, celebrates her commitment to Southwestern Oregon Community College with, seated from left, Chris Richmond and her grandparents Rebecca and Bill Cowan, and standing, her uncle Joe Cowan and SWOCC coach Sandra Bullock.

Jones will join SWOCC swim team JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — When Sandra Bullock first became coach of the Southwestern Oregon Community College swim team seven years ago, one of the first local swimmers she noticed was Bella Jones.

“I remember when I first started coaching, I said I was going to have her on my team one day,” Bullock said.

That predication has become a reality, with Jones committing to joining SWOCC’s program.

“I’m pretty stoked,” Jones said before a signing ceremony last week celebrating her commitment to joining the Lakers.

Jones celebrated with her teammates and coaches at Mingus Park, where she spent her senior season swimming with both the North Bend squad she had

as teammates throughout high school and her adopted Marshfield team that makes Mingus Park its home.

Jones had a stellar career with North Bend, even her senior season when she was coming back from a serious knee injury only a few months earlier during a soccer match.

But she reflected back to much earlier days as she traced the roots of her love for the sport.

“I would like to thank my family because they got me into the sport,” she said, referring to her grandparents who raised her and insisted she learn how to swim because of all the water in the Bay Area.

“I would like to thank my teammates — they pushed me every day — and my coaches.”

Three of those coaches — past, present and future — all spoke fondly of Jones.

“This is a great opportunity for Bella to continue her education at the college level and continue to participate in the sport that she loves,” said Chris Richmond, who coached Jones when she was developing into a standout for the South Coast Aquatic Team.

“She always practiced and trained like a champion and competed like a champion. She is going to continue that.”

While Richmond coached Jones for years, longtime Marshfield coach Kathe McNutt only got to work with her a few months.

“I’ve never coached Bella until this last spring,” she said, adding that Jones is both the life of the pool and also a great inspiration.

“I am proud of her for coming back (from the injury) and working so hard,” McNutt said. “She

has a great attitude. She’s a great competitor and a great teammate.

I think she has a great future in swimming.”

Bullock, meanwhile, can’t wait to have Jones join the Lakers.

“We are stoked to have Bella represent Coos Bay and North Bend on the team,” she said. “We have a really good women’s team coming. We will use her in and out of the pool as a leader.”

Jones said SWOCC was a good fit.

“Everyone is close together (on the team),” she said. “I like the idea of a family dynamic.

“I also like that it’s here on the coast.”

Jones plans to transfer to a four-year school in two years and pursue a degree in criminal justice, with the eventual goal of being a private investigator.

Holt signs to swim for Soka University JOHN GUNTHER The World

COOS BAY — Zach Holt had a stellar swimming career at North Bend, but never planned for it to extend beyond high school.

But then he had a great final season that tied back in with his roots in the sport. Now he’s planning to swim for Soka University of America in California.

“Eight months ago, I had no intention of swimming in college,” Holt said during a signing ceremony last week. “I found a school that had everything I wanted.”

The process of continuing swimming after high school started when North Bend and Marshfield ended up swimming together this season with North Bend’s pool still closed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

That reunited Holt with his childhood coach, Marshfield coach Kathe McNutt.

“I really want to thank all my teammates, family and coaches,” Holt said, in part addressing the large group of Marshfield and North Bend teammates in the pool behind him during his ceremony. “I would not be here without you.

“Being back in the pool reminded me I really love the sport.”

So Holt started looking at possible colleges and found a perfect fit in Soka, which is located in southern California, between Los Angeles and San Diego.

“I’m super excited,” he said. “I went down in March to look at it. It has a super nice campus and great weather.”

It also has perfect academic opportunities.

Holt plans to study life sciences and the Japanese language. The life sciences major ideally will lead to Holt moving on to medi-

Braden Fugate, Seth Christian and Griff Smith won races both Saturday and Sunday in a doubleheader weekend of racing on the dirt oval at Coos Bay Speedway.

Fugate was the winner both days in the America’s Mattress Super Late Models.

Three golfers record aces The World Three South Coast golfers had recent holes in one on different golf courses in Oregon.

The first came on June 15, when Richard Whitworth had a hole-in-one on the 11th hole at Bandon Crossings. Whitworth used a 7-iron on the 135-yard hole. It was his first career holein-one and was witnessed by Doug Albee and Jim Lorenzen.

The second ace came on June 18, by Southwestern Oregon Community College golf coach Ray Fabien on the Glaze Meadow Golf Course at Black Butte Ranch. Fabien used a 5-iron on the 166-yard 11th hole. It was his first ace in 38 yards of golfing.

The final ace came this week by Montana Frame of Reedsport at Forest Hills Country Club. Frame aced the second/11th hole on Saturday (June 27). Frame’s shot was witnessed by Noah Sullens.

North Bend's Zach Holt sits with his parents, Tom and Noriko, after signing a letter of intent to Soka University. cal school.

One of the things that attracted him to Soka is a specific program.

“One of the terms during third year, it’s mandatory to study abroad,” Holt said, adding that his plan is to go to Japan.

As far as swimming, Soka is an NAIA school.

Holt’s coaches had nothing but praise for the swimmer, a breaststroke specialist.

Bruce Rasmussen, North Bend’s coach the

past two seasons, described Holt as a fiery competitor and superb teammate.

“What a great job you have done leading the team,” Rasmussen said, adding “You are going to do well.”

McNutt, meanwhile, said it’s been a special experience coaching Holt again.

“I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Zach,” she said. “I’m proud of him.

“He’s a wonderful young man.”

Coos Bay Speedway oval busy with numerous events The World

Former Bandon standout Scotty Kennon qualified for the U.S. Amateur this week when he won the qualifying tournament at Seminole Legacy Golf Club in Florida.

Kennon finished the two rounds at 3-under, shooting 70 in the first round and 71 in the second to finish one shot ahead of Patrick McCann, who also qualified. Sean Butscher won a playoff for the third spot after he and Sam Straka tied at 1-under.

The tournament was played over two days. The first day was highlighted by a hole-in-one on the par-3 fifth hole. The second day, Kennon birdied four of the first five holes and had another birdie later in the round, but also had four bogeys.

Kennon is planning to play golf for Wake Forest University starting this fall.

The U.S. Amateur is Aug. 9-15 at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania.

During 105.9 The Legend Night on Saturday, he beat Preston Luckman to the finish after both Fugate and Luckman won heat races.

And during the Modified Sunday Gambler, he finished ahead of Wayne Butler. Richard Wallace won the lone heat race Sunday.

Christian won the Street

Stocks division on Saturday, beating Ken Fox of North Bend.

Christian also won the heat race.

On Sunday, Christian doubled up, winning both the Street Stocks and Mini Outlaws divisions.

In Street Stocks, he finished ahead of Fox again after winning the heat race. In Mini Outlaws, heat race winner Scott Beaudoin

finished second to Christian.

Christian was denied a third title when Kris Parker beat him to the line in the Hornets division.

Parker and Dan Beaudoin won the heat races.

Smith, as usually happens, swept the titles in the Junior Stingers both days.

Finding a plethora of life in tide pools

Photos by David Rupkalvis/The World

Throughout the South Coast, tide pools showcase a variety of sea life. Looking in and around the pools can showcase life often seen only deep under the sea. Below, the tide pools are often full of splashes of color. At Sunset Bay, the tide pools are crawling with tiny crabs.

At low tide, ocean life can be seen in full color

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

One of my favorite things to get out and explore is tide pools.

It frankly doesn’t matter where it is, every time I look through and around the tide pools, I see something new.

Over the weekend, my family and I went to our favorite local spot, Sunset Bay, and immediately headed to the tide pools. It wasn’t planned, but we hit at low tide, so there was a lot to look through and a lot to see.

For my children, every time we see a tide pool, they begin looking for crabs. And as usual, there were out in bunches. The small, juvenile crabs try their best to hide, but they aren’t too hard to find.

The easiest way is to move

any rock in or around the tide pools. There’s a pretty good chance crabs will begin running away as soon as the rock is shifted. The good news is the crabs are mostly small enough they can’t grab you hard with their pinschers, but be warned, a few can. I tend to leave the crabs alone when I see them, but my children still enjoy grabbing them and getting a close look before they get released.

The second option takes a lot more patience, but it can be even more interesting. Find a small tide pool with water and just stop and watch. Before long, you will notice the crabs moving around inside the water. Over the weekend, my son and I watched for several minutes, watching Please see Life, Page B3

Wind effects

By Marty Giles Have you been leaning against the wind, watching branches twist in stiff breezes, sweeping up old needles and twigs blown out of the trees...?

Yep: It’s been windy in Coos County - that’s expected in early summer on the Oregon Coast, but this year those high winds started the earliest they had in 35 years.

What is wind, anyway?

Essentially, wind is the atmosphere seeking equilibrium.

One can think of the atmosphere balancing itself out as denser air flows to “fill in” areas of less dense air, flowing from areas of high pressure to low pressure. These differences in densities are primarily differences in temperature: As air warms, it expands, becoming less dense.

(Warmed air rises because of this expansion.) Denser, cooler air moves in to hedge out the warmed, expanded air as it rises.

Once aloft, the warm air cools, becoming denser, and begins to sink again.

On a global scale, the equatorial areas of the planet get far more direct sun -- and far more warming -- than other areas do, creating a band of air (called a “cell”) that rises along the equator and is forced north and south to sink. The pattern repeats to make six huge rivers of air that move around the planet parallel to the equator, three to the north and three to the south of the equator. Friction between the moving air and the surface of the rotating planet twists the paths of the bands of flowing air, creating the alternating Westerlies and Easterlies that drive the major climate patterns on Earth.

Local differences in temperature affect wind, too.

Sunshine warms land more quickly than it warms water, so in daytime, air over land rises and cooler air over seas moves onshore to replace it, creating a sea breeze. The opposite may occur at night when the land cools more quickly than the water and cooler air above land moves over the warmer water, creating a land breeze.

A very large version of the sea/land breeze process, twisted by global patterns of winds high above the earth, is why the Oregon Coast gets north winds in the summer and south winds in the winter.

Local differences in warmability on land also create local winds, as slightly warmer spots on land spawn updrafts. Air movement is made more complicated by topography, as wind can be directed by the shape of the land it flows over or around.

[As warm moist air rises to cooler altitudes, the moisture in the air condenses, forming Please see Wind, Page B2

The World

The Chamber Minute: Help children grow One rainy Saturday afternoon, my wife was standing in line at a local grocery store with three little, blonde haired, blue lipped girls behind her. They were very concerned about how much their groceries were going to cost. They had two packs of hot dogs and a half gallon of chocolate mint ice cream.

They continued to ask the checker how much this would be.

He said, “Girls, I believe you’ll get 18 cents back.” My wife asked,

Wind From B1

clouds - but that’s another story.]

The dynamic combination of these effects gives us our bracing, tousling winds.

Even on a rare wind-less day on the Oregon Coast, there’s ample evidence of usual windiness. Small ripples and giant dunes are formed by wind lifting and bouncing sand along the ground. Sustained winds may lean trees and shrubs; salt and sand borne by wind prunes trees and shrubs into aerodynamic forms. And, of course, our hypnotic ocean waves are generated by winds -- usually many miles away.

Here, summer winds howl down from the arctic, chilling unwary beachcombers. But the sustained winds also drive a nearshore current down the coast. The combined effect of the southerly-moving water and the earth’s rotation pulls the surface water away from the shore.

As the surface water moves offshore, water from greater depth wells up to replace it: “upwelling.”

And upwelling’s generally a good thing. The deep water is rich in nutrients, and upwelling draws those nutrients up to the light.

There, they fertilize the microscopic plants (phytoplankton) that are the major producers of food and oxygen in the sea. The nutrients’ rise to a sun-lit

“Girls, are you having a party?”

“Nope,” replied the oldest. “Our mom’s been sick so we decided to make her supper. We’ll have hot dogs and ice cream.” They had spent the afternoon washing windows and picking up cans to pay for their dinner.

Despite what you read or hear, there is nothing wrong with the basic fiber of today’s kids. It’s our responsibility to help that spirit grow and blossom. We do that by providing them guidance. They

face many more pathways in life than we did and we need to help them understand where each path leads. We can spur our children’s growth by providing an example, an example of service. When we volunteer in whatever capacity we chose to serve, it shows them that caring for others is important, simply because it’s the right thing to do. Also we can love them. As they grow up, they then will return that love to their families and community.

We are blessed to live in this place at this time. We all have different talents which, when used, make this an even better place. So do whatever your heart leads you to—but do it.

Remember our business is helping your business. And like us on Facebook.

When the summers winds stop, fog rises up

When the wind does die down during coastal upwelling, the moist air warms up and condenses as it contacts the cold sea. The result is fog. Though sun-lovers may argue, fog is a good thing, too. Drifting inland, the fog cools and moistens the coastal forest during the summer’s drought. level causes a phytoplankton population explosion, or “bloom.”

The increase in the plant plankton naturally fuels an increase in the animal plankton (zooplankton).

More zooplankton leads to more larger animals, which in turn feed still larger animals...which includes us seafood-eaters.

The upwelling water is a little saltier and denser than the offshore water, and quite a bit colder.

Water in the surf zone during upwelling on the Oregon coast may be 4345 degrees, while some 50 miles offshore the sea surface may be 55 degrees.

In fact, the water on our beaches may be colder in the summer than it is in the winter because of those wind-driven currents.

Upwelled water can also be quite oxygen-deprived.

An enormous plankton bloom, generated by an enormous upwelling season, can produce an enormous settlement of dead organic material on the bottom of the sea the next winter. As oxygen-loving bacteria feed on the wealth of dead plankton, they use up a lot of oxygen. In this

case, “too much of a good thing” can ultimately mean massive animal die-offs as the low-oxygen water is welled up to the surface to create a dead zone.

That was the situation in 2006 when researchers found that in some places just above the ocean floor off our coast the oxygen content of the water was zero. In local news reports this past May, Dr. Francis Chan, marine ecologist with Oregon State University, predicted our earliest-onset winds this will drive the extreme upwelling that will create another year of off-shore dead zones.

Going to the beach to enjoy the waves and fishing? Don’t forget your windbreaker!

Life From B1

as the crabs looked to be eating. I’m not sure what they were munching on, but three were in close proximity and definitely appeared to be chowing down on something.

If you choose the wait and watch method, it may take a little while to see life in the water. The crabs and other living animals see you as you approach, so they go still for a while.

If you wait, though, life will return.

My kids and I also got to sit and watch a handful of hermit crabs as they moved around under the water.

If you get too close, those crabs will crawl up into their shells and go still, but when they feel safe, they begin to move again.

I’ve been exploring tide pools for more than seven months, and I am still intrigued with the amount of life they hold. Many times, an initial look will give the impression that there is nothing inside. But in time, you notice small fish, crabs, snails and other creatures moving around.

It’s a relaxing and fun way to see life that is hidden from much of the world.

The tide pools can also be full of color with sea anemones, grass, seaweed and other things adding splashes of color.

On Saturday, we went out on the rocks to the side of Sunset Bay as far as the water would allow.

Heading that far out, I saw something I had never seen before and, to be honest, I’m not sure what it was.

When I looked closely at the edges of the tide

The exhibition is augmented by the poetry of Pepper Trail, a poet and naturalist based in Ashland.

Duncan’s work has won numerous awards including first, second and third place awards in Coos Art Museum’s Expressions West competition and first place in The Artist’s Magazine’s All Media Competition (wildlife). A video segment on her work has appeared on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Art Beat and on PBS Newshour’s CANVAS website

Hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday and 1 to 4 p.m.

Saturday.
