Coos Bay considering exempting taxes to increase multi-unit housing stock BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Coos Bay City Council threw its support behind a proposal to exempt some property taxes for 10 years in an effort to bring new multi-unit housing complexes to the city.

While the city council did not vote on the issue, it did support the proposal, which would waive property taxes on improvements to property if the property is built with four units or more. The council also decided to keep the program out of the Urban Renewal Agency districts since

the districts are designed to help developers in different ways. City Manager Rodger Craddock told the council supporting the multiple unit property taxes exemption program is another way the council can urge the development of more housing. “Basically, a MUPTE program

allows for a 10-year property tax exemption, whether it be just the city or the overall unit of taxing district for qualifying developments,” Craddock said. “Those qualifying developments are generally new developments that are three units or more. Or it’s an existing building that is

completely redeveloped for a new use.” Craddock said ﬁve cities in Oregon have similar programs, with programs in Cottage Grove and Florence the most successful. Please see HOUSING, Page A3

Mural much more than just public art BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Public art is replacing decrepit old structures throughout Coos Bay. Last week, an old wall near the chip mill on Highway 101 was turned into art thanks to the work of Mike Vaughan and the Coos Bay Urban Renewal Agency. On the ﬁnal day of painting, members of the Coos Bay and North Bend city councils joined Vaughan to complete the mural that shows two tug boats, representing Coos Bay and North Bend, working together to move a boat. Stephanie Kilmer, a Coos Bay councilor and president of the Urban Renewal Agency, said painting the wall is a good use of Urban Renewal funds. “It was funded through Urban Renewal dollars,” Kilmer said. Please see MURAL Page A2

Both Coos Bay and North Bend will host elections for city council and mayor in November. In Coos Bay, three council seats and the mayor’s seat are up for grabs. The seats available are those currently held by Carmen Matthews, Rob Miles, Sara Stephens and Mayor Joe Benetti. In North Bend, there will also be three council seats and the mayor’s seat up for election. The seats that will be voted on in November are the seats currently held by Timm Slater, Bill Richardson and Larry Garboden as well as Mayor Jessica Engelke. To qualify, candidates must be a registered voter and have lived in their respective cities for at least one year. Interested citizens in North Bend may pick up a packet from the city recorder/elections officer in the city recorder’s office during normal business hours. Recommended filing with city recorder/elections officer for signature verification is before August 19 at 4 p.m. The deadline for filing with the city recorder by completed petition is August 30 at 4 p.m. In Coos Bay, interested citizens may obtain information and file at the Coos Bay City Hall located at 500 Central Avenue from 8 a.m.–5 p.m. weekdays through August 30. Candidates filing by petition are asked to file before 5 p.m. August 23.

Protesting for choice Ashlee Francis smiles at her son, Dakari Trask, while participating in a protest against the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Francis said she made the decision to have her son, but she feels women around the nation should be given the same right to choose. Francis said she moved to Coos Bay from Arizona, where lawmakers are considering an abortion ban that could impact her friends and family. For more on the protest, see the Friday edition of The World.

North Bend to host free summer bowling camp

Mural From A1

“That’s a perfect way to take care of our blight the city has.” Kilmer said the effort to turn an aging, gray wall into art was worthwhile. “It stands out and it’s a beautiful area that visitors traveling down Highway 101 can see,” Kilmer said. “That’s what Urban Renewal does.” Vaughan said he came up with the idea after seeing the blank wall year after year. The concrete wall was built in the 1930s when Chevron used it as a fuel storage area. “I did a wall on the Shark Bites building 32 years ago,” Vaughan said. “I raised the funds for that. This time around, the city is paying me to do the mural. I’m looking forward to more murals in both towns.” Vaughan said he wanted to come up with art that would tie Coos Bay and North Bend together while symbolizing the industrial sector of the community. “The theme is a North Bend tugboat and a Coos Bay tugboat pushing the

ship,” Vaughan said. “In working on this, I realize this kind of represents our democracy into the world.” Vaughan said he tried to include an Asian influence because of the Asian impact on the industrial sector in the region. He said the white caps in the mural are of the style of an Asian artist, who painted in that style hundreds of years ago. Vaughan spent 60 days working on the mural, painting throughout May and June. He had to finish by the end of June, so he invited both city councils to assist. Kilmer was joined by North Bend Mayor Jessica Engelke and North Bend councilors Susanna Noordhoff and Timm Slater along with Coos Bay City Manager Rodger Craddock and North Bend City Administrator David Milliron. “Thanks to both city councils and city managers, we’ll finish it,” Vaughan said. He said the wall had to be pressure washed and primer put on before he began on the details. He said the base paint on both sides equated to 60 gallons of paint. “It was very profession-

ally done and will be here forever,” Vaughan said. He said the design is simple, for a reason. “They only have three seconds at 45 miles per hour, so a lot of the work is abstract and simple so they can see it at 45 mph,” Vaughan said. While the mural is in Coos Bay, it is centered right at the city limits between Coos Bay and North Bend. Engelke said she and the council wanted to help finish the project because it benefits both cities. “We were invited by the Contrbuted photo Coos Bay City Council to North Bend’s Kian Pryor holds the national championship trophy after winning the boy’s singles title last month. be a part of this,” Engelke said. “We think it symbolThe city of North Bend has received a The bowling camp will include free izes so many things we are $239,816 award from the Oregon Assobowling, free shoe rentals, a free hot meal, trying to do together.

Merkley, Wyden urge Biden to cease expansion of offshore oil and gas leasing Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden joined Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) in a letter to U.S. Interior Secretary, Deb Haaland, urging the Department to protect coastal communities across the nation by including no new leasing across all planning areas in any proposed or ﬁnal ﬁveyear outer continental shelf (OCS) oil and gas leasing program currently under development by the

Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) within the Department of the Interior (DOI). “We urge you to protect our coastal communities, economies, ecosystems, and climate by including no new leasing across all planning areas in any proposed or ﬁnal ﬁve-year OCS oil and gas leasing program,” wrote the Senators to Secretary Haaland. “As Senators representing coastal states, we know

that offshore drilling is inherently a risk-reward proposition, with our coastal communities shouldering the risk and oil companies reaping the rewards. History shows us that it is not a question of if an oil spill occurs, but when.” Catastrophic oil spills are not the only risks posed to coastal communities by offshore drilling; even when operating normally offshore drilling opera-

tions pollute water, land and air. Millions of jobs, families, and communities who depend on the cleanliness of coastal waters are at risk, creating further uncertainty in our economic recovery. In addition, coastal communities are among the most vulnerable to extreme weather and rising sea levels caused by climate chaos. According to a recent study, a ﬁve year plan that included no new leasing

would have no impact on domestic oil production through 2027 and only negligible impacts through 2035. In their letter to Secretary Haaland, the senators also highlighted how expanding offshore drilling would fail to alleviate the strain on current gas prices. “President Biden recognized the threat that offshore drilling poses to our coasts, economy, and climate, and he campaigned

on a promise of ending offshore drilling [...] We urge you to uphold the President’s promise, and include no new lease sales in the next ﬁve-year OCS oil and gas leasing program,” the Senators concluded. In addition to Senators Merkley, Wyden, and Menendez, the letter is signed by Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Jack Reed (D-RI), Patty Murray (D-WA) and Edward J. Markey (D-MA).

to the public,” Craddock said. “There’s a whole list of those. Some of those include extra public space, amenities for public transit, maybe it’s a care facilities. It also includes ﬁxing up a blighted property or building. This really is more user friendly.” Craddock said he met with the city manager of Cottage Grove, who reported Cottage Grove now has an excess of 100 rental units. Before the program, not a single multi-housing project was developed in 20 years. “I think it’s more needed now than ever based on what’s happening to our housing stock,” Craddock said. “We’re seeing less and less rentals. That results in fewer supplies and higher prices. If we can help with the supply side that helps with our rentals. Anything we can do would

be beneﬁcial.” Craddock said after getting council support, he would draft a plan and present it to the other taxing districts. “If we want to get the full beneﬁt of this so all the taxes would be exempt for a 10-year period, we need to take this through a process, share it with the other taxing districts and get 51% of the taxing districts to approve,” Craddock said. “I think we would get that approval because all the taxing districts are facing the same issue.” Craddock said the current property taxes on a property would not change, the exemption would only apply to additional taxes due to improvements on property. “So we’re not really losing anything at this stage, it’s really just encouraging the development of those

properties,” Councilor Stephanie Kilmer asked. Craddock said Coos Bay has seen new housing units recently, but very few multi-unit complexes. “While we have seen 119 housing starts since 2016, very few had multiple units,” Craddock said. “We’re not seeing triplexes or better. I do believe you’ll see something different than you’re seeing now. You’re seeing mostly singe-family homes or duplexes. If you get multiple units, those are generally rentals.” While the council did not vote, all members were supportive of the plan, with the caveat that it applies to developments of four units or more and does not include the Urban Renewal Agency districts. Those districts are the downtown area of Coos Bay as well as Empire.

IRS: Taxpayers now have more options to correct, amend returns The Internal Revenue Service announced today that more forms can now be amended electronically. These include people filing corrections to the Form 1040-NR, U.S. Nonresident Alien Income Tax Return and Forms 1040-SS, U.S. Self-Employment Tax Return (Including the Additional Child Tax Credit for Bona Fide Residents of Puerto Rico) and Forms 1040-PR, Self-Employment Tax Return – Puerto Rico. “This initiative has come a long way from 2020 when we first launched the

ability to file amended returns, which was an important milestone to help taxpayers and the tax community,” said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. “This new feature will further help people needing to make corrections. This development will also assist the IRS with its inventory work on the current backlog of amended returns. This is another tool we’re using to help get us back on track.” Additionally, a new, electronic checkbox has been added for Forms 1040/1040SR, 1040-NR and 1040-SS/1040-PR to

indicate that a superseding return is being filed electronically. A superseded return is one that is filed after the originally filed return but submitted before the due date, including extensions. Taxpayers can also amend their return electronically if there is change to their filing status or to add a dependent who was previously claimed on another return. About 3 million Forms 1040-X are filed by taxpayers each year. Taxpayers can still use the “Where’s My Amended Return?” online tool to check the status of

their electronically-filed Form 1040-X. Forms 1040, 1040-NR and 1040-SR can still be amended electronically for tax years 2019, 2020 and 2021 along with corrected Forms 1040-SS and Form 1040PR for tax year 2021. In general, taxpayers still have the option to submit a paper version of the Form 1040X and should follow the instructions for preparing and submitting the paper form. The IRS continues to look at this important area, and more enhancements are planned for the future.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren

GRANDPARENTS HAVE OPINIONS ON WHAT’S BEST FOR YOUNG MAN DEAR ABBY: Our 26-yearold, college-educated grandson, “Ethan,” crashed his company car and was arrested for DWI and possession of more than a gram of cocaine. His mother hired a lawyer, posted bond and is taking full charge of the situation. Ethan lost his responsible job, and his girlfriend kicked him out. He has a sizable inheritance, enough to pay the lawyer and fine. Since he has never been in trouble before, we are hoping he won’t go to jail. Although we love Ethan dearly, his dad and I agree he should handle this on his own without his mother (who is recently divorced from our son) running to his rescue. Ethan also needs help with his addictions. He has enough 529 account funds to turn this serious mistake into an opportunity to return to college and get a master’s degree. I don’t know how much to get involved, directly with Ethan or his mother. Though my wife and I are on good terms with his mother, it appears she doesn’t want our advice. I welcome your suggestions on what to do. -- UPSET GRANDDAD IN TEXAS DEAR GRANDDAD: You can voice your opinion, but beyond that you should stay out of it. As well-meaning as you are, you can’t force your former daughter-in-law -- who is in full mother mode -- or Ethan to abandon the path they are on. All you can do is point out the dangers they may encounter along the way and hope they will listen, however frustrating it may be. DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I recently moved to a new area because his job was relocated. He was really excited to start this new adventure, and I was happy to come along. We’ve been

together for 10 years (high school sweethearts), and we got engaged just before we moved. I noticed he had been Snapchatting with someone. When I asked him about it, he refused to tell me who, but said I shouldn’t be concerned. Eventually, he did tell me. It’s a female co-worker. I don’t know much about her other than she is recently divorced. I’m happy she’s out of a bad situation, but I don’t understand why she’s Snapchatting my fiance. I also don’t understand why he hid it from me until I made a big deal out of it. There are other details about her -- which I’m not sure are 100% true -- that could change my point of view about this, but since I don’t know her, they are hard for me to believe. Should I be concerned, or is my anxiety taking over? I’ll be addressing this with him again, but I’m not going to blow up in his face about it. -- DOUBTING IN SOUTH DAKOTA DEAR DOUBTING: I’m glad you’re not going to blow up because all it would do is make your fiance defensive. You do, however, need to have a discussion with him about this co-worker. If you feel he hasn’t been completely honest about her or her circumstances, and he has become secretive, recognize it as a huge red flag and proceed from there. Do not get married before this is resolved. -------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Letters to the Editor Psychiatric Unit at BAH is Still at Risk Bay Area Hospital publicly announced May 25 that their Acute Psychiatric Unit would close at the end of June. They reported that this was attributed to the financial burden caused by COVID-19 and the costly necessity of temporary staff. Actions were immediately taken to assist the staff in finding other positions throughout the hospital. While many had transitioned to different departments, others chose to leave the hospital. The public and community partners exhibited a passionate support for keeping this service available. On June 14, there was a wave of relief as Bay Area Hospital reported that Advanced Health would be providing funds that would keep the unit afloat for at least a year. In the following year, other avenues would explored to provide future financial stability. Unfortunately, the majority of the psychiatric staff had already accepted employment elsewhere. With minimal staff, the unit will continue to be at risk of no longer being able to provide services. For those interested in joining our team, you can apply on the Bay Area Hospital website. If psychiatry is not your ideal specialty, there are also positions available in other departments. We are now offering a nurse residency program to assist novice nurses in transitioning to their new career path. Taunoka Foster, BSN, RN Coos Bay We are not a Christian country I was saddened but not surprised with the recent Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade. How could anyone be shocked when the court is now a religious one, at least that’s how the conservative majority may see themselves. They forget, however, that not everyone is Christian and that America is not a Christian country. It is a country where you should be free to be Christian if you choose to be.The Torah, Mishnah, and the Talmud-the three most sacred Jewish booksdo not view a fetus as a soul until it is born. It is considered part of the woman’s body until delivery. Judaism teaches that life begins not at conception or with a heartbeat but with the first breath. If you force an individual to carry an unwanted pregnancy, it violates Jewish law because it prioritizes a fetus over the living adult. THIS IS A VIOLATION OF OUR CONSTITUTION which guarantees our freedom to practice our religion. It also impedes on other religions and their beliefs.

Not everyone in America is Christian, and not everyone believes that life begins at conception. This decision and the actions of states inacting abortion bans will have a huge influence on future litigation against state laws disallowing abortion and infringing on personal as well as religious freedoms. Joanne Moss Coos Bay A thorny issue I would like to put my two cents in on the abortion issue. In the 1950s, one of my aunts had a beautiful baby girl. But, when trying to have a second baby, the doctors discovered she was RH negative, which means she couldn’t have another live baby. The baby was dead in the womb and the state of Missouri said she couldn’t have an abortion. Can you imagine carrying a child for several months knowing that it was dead? Inhumane! Now the state of Missouri is back to outlawing abortions. I don’t know that there are any exceptions. On the other side of the coin, I found out I am distantly related to the great American author, Jack London. His mother was with a man who got her pregnant and he wanted her to have an abortion. She refused and because of her decision, a famous author was born. Abortion is such a thorny issue that I believe people have to make their own decisions not the government. It’s OK for anti-abortionists to show pictures of the different stages of fetuses. That’s information we need to know. Either it’s a blob, or it has fingers and toes. Many women might not want to destroy a baby after a certain point. Nor should they be able to. But it is my profound belief that this is a matter between a woman and her God, family and physician - not the government. I know, I know, some women have used abortion as a form of birth control. I’ve known a couple. I also had a few friends in the 60s who, with or without their mother’s knowledge, had to go to Mexico to get abortions. Some regretted it years later when they were childless. Some did not regret it because in those days, the shame of being pregnant out of wedlock was too much to bear. And, one more thing. If a young girl is raped by her creepy brother, cousin, uncle or father, she should not have to carry what I call “devil spawn.” There’s a reason that incest is against the law. Too many birth defects can occur. Like I say, it’s a thorny issue. Lorraine Pool Bandon

Green Groups Putting Politics Ahead of Protecting Environment By Chris Woodward InsideSources.com

What does supporting D.C. statehood or defending Roe v. Wade have to do with protecting the environment or fighting climate change? If you want the endorsement of so-called “environmental” groups like the Sierra Club, 350NH Action, or the League of Conservation Voters — everything. All three groups endorse a so-called intersectional view of the environment, encompassing support for things like abortion rights, voting access, support for labor unions and higher minimum wages as part of the overall Green movement. “The environment doesn’t live in a silo. It is a multi-layered issue,” said Catherine Corkery, the New Hampshire chapter director for the Sierra Club. Corkery said candidates for public office who want the Sierra Club’s endorsement need to show strong support for clean air and water as well as things like voting rights and economic justice. “The Sierra Club uses a variety of issues to review people as candidates. The environment is multi-faceted. Our lives are complex and so is the environment,” she said. For example, greater access to voting rights means people can more easily vote for pro-environmental policies and candidates, Corkery said. 350NH Action goes further, demanding that candidates seeking their endorsement adhere to a progressive platform far beyond strictly environmental issues. “Climate is an intersectional issue, so we only endorse candidates who have strong stances on progressive issues we and our partners also fight for like: racial justice, immigrant justice, LGBTQIA+ rights, reproductive justice, healthcare for all, a family-sustaining minimum wage, public education, Indigenous rights, gun safety, disability rights, ending mass incarceration, and reducing income inequality,” the group states on its website. A representative for 350NH Action did not respond to a request for comment. Nor did the group explain why it has publicly criticized Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., over immigration policy but not their embrace of more oil drilling or tax cuts for fossil fuels. Then there’s the League of Conservation Voters’ scorecard for lawmakers, which counts votes for amnesty of illegal immigrants, federalizing state elections and impeaching President Trump. American Conservation Coalition, a conservation organization that promotes free-market solutions to environmental problems, thinks the

LCV is on the wrong track. “It seems like LCV is really more of a Democratic front-group than (an) environmental group,” said Quill Robinson, ACC’s vice president of government affairs. “I think that’s a real shame because there are important climate change issues and environmental issues and policies where Democrats and Republicans agree, but I think LCV is more intent on beating up Republicans and helping Democrats get re-elected than making real progress on environmental issues.” The LCV regularly takes positions on topics that are unrelated to conservation. The LCV recently reacted to the Supreme Court decision in the Dobbs abortion case, which turns the question of abortion back to state legislatures, by calling for expanding the court. “Make no mistake, today’s decision is the result of a concerted decades-long right-wing effort to capture our courts and roll back the rights of women, girls, and all people who can become pregnant,” the LCV wrote. “Congress must act immediately and expand the number of justices who serve on our nation’s highest court.” Robinson said the group even went so far in its partisanship that it took a stand against a police reform bill because it was proposed by a Republican. “The one in particular that left me scratching my head was, according to the League of Conservation Voters, voting against a police reform bill by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) is the pro-environment position,” Robinson said. “Sen. Scott was trying to address issues around police, and it got lots of support from many different people, but that’s not a topic related to the environment.” Danielle Butcher, vice president of the ACC, blames the LCV and other far-left environmental groups for making conservation and dealing with climate change a partisan issue and alienating conservatives who might otherwise support environmental protections. “The LCV and groups like it have been at the forefront of the movement that successfully politicized climate change,” Butcher said in a recent op-ed. “An environmental advocacy group should score legislators based on their work to address the root causes of climate change, not whether or not they voted to impeach a former president or voted for a partisan voting rights bill. By shunning any and all congressional Republicans, LCV is only hurting its ability to advance real solutions.” ABOUT THE WRITER Chris Woodward writes about industry and technology for InsideSources.com.

Happy Birthday, America; Now Mind How You Go By Llewellyn King InsideSources.com

Martin Walker, the gifted former Washington correspondent of The Guardian, used to start his speeches saying that the Fourth of July wasn’t a time for sorrow for him, as it was a time when good British yeomen farmers in the colonies revolted against a German king and his German mercenaries. Walker — who now lives in France and writes the hugely successful “Bruno” detective books set in the Perigord region — once told me, “It’s exciting living in a country where the president can order up an aircraft carrier to settle a dispute.” He, an Englishman, and I, a former British colonial, shared our admiration for the United States. For America’s birthday, I have counted some things I most like and admire about this country of endless experimentation. Also, alas, I admit it is getting harder to feel as proud of it as I once did. America, for me, has always embodied a special freedom: the freedom to try. The wonderful thing about it is that you can try a business, an idea, a way of living,

or even a way of thinking. I read in “The Waist-High Culture,” the 1958 book by Thomas Griffith, that Europe was a “no” culture and the United States was a “yes” culture. So true. In my first year here, I wrote to a family member in England, marveling at the size and scope of the American market. I wrote to her, “You could make a fortune here making glass beads, so long as they were good glass beads.” I still believe that. The other great freedom, which I treasure, is that you can move across the country and start all over again. If you feel you have failed in New York, you can take a fresh sheet and try again in Chicago, Austin or San Francisco. You can have failed in marriage, in business, in a career, and in some very public way, but you can go on anew somewhere else. You can’t do that in what are, in many ways, city-states — for example, in the way England is dominated by London and France by Paris. There is geographic freedom in the United States that has an exhilaration all its own. I was intoxicated by America from the first. I didn’t dwell on the sins of the

past, from the cruelty of the Puritans, the pioneers and the planters to the folly of Prohibition. When I arrived, I embraced all that was in the present; the civil rights movement was underway and gathering strength, and it was possible to believe that the United States would continue to be the shining example of how you get it right, how you correct big and small errors, and how you let people prosper. John F. Kennedy was president, and it was a new day. When I covered Congress, I was enchanted with it: the committee power centers, the indifference to party discipline, and a system where you really did need majority approval to get a law passed. Overall, members of Congress were among the hardest-working (and some were the hardest-drinking) around. They sought to understand issues from atomic energy to cancer. Congress wasn’t perfect, but it aspired to get things right. For many years, I participated in the Humbert Summer School — a think tank — in the west of Ireland. I used to enjoy talking up the presidential system as

superior to the parliamentary one, where a simple majority can wreak havoc. Now, alas, Congress is experiencing the evils of parliamentary government and none of the virtues, particularly swift legislating. Party discipline — as in the case of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California shunning Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming — has supplanted the old tolerance for differences within the party. It began with the 1994 Gingrich Revolution, abetted by the proliferation of single-point-of-view talk radio. Like all unchecked decay, it has gotten worse. America the Beautiful, I wish you a happy birthday. I thank you for your generosity over these decades, and I say sincerely, “Mind how you go.” The world needs your seeking to be fair and just, and full of possibility, not divided and rancorous, and a threat to yourself.

Mia-Brahe Pedersen breaks state record for girls 100 JERRY ULMER OSAAtoday

Aided by wind or not, Mia Brahe-Pedersen now is officially the fastest girl in Oregon history. Brahe-Pedersen, who is heading into her junior year at Lake Oswego, staked that claim Friday when she ran the 100 meters in 11.25 seconds in prelims at the U.S. Under-20 Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene. Brahe-Pedersen had run 11.09 to win the 6A meet at Hayward Field last month – faster than the 54-year-old state record of 11.30 (Margaret Johnson-Bailes, Churchill) – but didn’t get credit for the record because her time was wind-aided. Coincidentally, she also ran 11.09 in Friday’s finals but it also was wind-aided. Friday’s prelims performance, though, was all above board. “I’m really happy,” Brahe-Pedersen said. “My reaction at the end pretty much says it all because it was just this relief that I felt from trying to get it all season. Getting below the record, then it being wind-aided, that was a little bit upsetting. To finally get it, and to get it at just the right moment, it feels really good. “I felt like I had gotten there, and everyone knew that I had gotten there, and I could beat it with the right circumstances, but

I hadn’t officially done it, so it wasn’t over yet.” By finishing second in both the 100 on Friday and the 200 on Saturday, Brahe-Pedersen earned spots on Team USA for the U-20 World Championships in Colombia in August. It’s a bonus to what has been a spectacular 2022 for her. “Part of me wanted to think it was realistic when I started the season,” she said of making Team USA. “It kind of became apparent in the middle of the season that I had a shot at making relay possibly, and if not the relay itself, at least an alternate.” Brahe-Pedersen was second in the 100 finals to Shawnti Jackson (11.07), the North Carolina sprint champion as a junior this year. “I really had no intention of making it for an individual event,” Brahe-Pedersen said. “Then I crossed the finish line and I looked at the board and I was No. 2, meaning I made it for an individual event. I’m like, ‘What just happened?’” She came back Saturday to take second in the 200 in 22.98, improving on her previous best of 23.23 and moving within an eyelash of Johnson-Bailes’ state record of 22.95, also set in 1968. The winner was Jayla Jamison (22.93) of South Carolina. Brahe-Pedersen marvels at how far she has come since

“I really had no intention of making it for an individual event. Then I crossed the finish line and I looked at the board and I was No. 2, meaning I made it for an individual event. I’m like, ‘What just happened?’” Mia Brahe-Pedersen State record holder, girls 100

she began running track as a sixth-grader, when she clocked 13.14 in the 100. Her 11.25 is the best wind-legal high school time in the nation this year. “How did I go from not even being top 100 to representing the US in an international event in four years?” she said. Her coach at the U-20 World Championships will be former 100 world champion Carmelita Jeter. “What a name to be running under, goodness gracious,” Brahe-Pedersen said. “I think it’s going to be an amazing experience, and I’m super grateful for it. I’ll get the opportunity to form more bonds with these really talented girls. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.” It is certain to propel Brahe-Pedersen forward into her junior year, when she will look to improve on the 100 record and resume her pursuit of the 200

record. How low can she go in her high school career? “I don’t want make any promises, but some people have been saying that I can go below 11 with the proper training,” she said. “So that’s a possibility. Maybe we’ll be seeing the national record, but I don’t know.” Only two high school girls have ever broken 11 seconds in the 100: Briana Williams (10.94) of Florida in 2019 and Candace Hill (10.98) of Georgia in 2015. “That’s pretty fast,” Brahe-Pedersen said. “It’ll be a big task if I can do it, but I don’t think it’s out of the cards yet. It’s a possibility.” U-20 World qualfiers: Brahe-Pedersen was among six Oregon athletes to qualify for the U-20 World Championships with their performances at Hayward Field on Thursday through

Saturday. Lake Oswego’s Kate Peters won the 3,000 on Saturday in 9:34.78. Peters, who will be a senior this year, ran 9:25.15 to win the 3,000 in the 6A meet last month, the No. 2 time in state history. Oregon City rising senior Sophia Beckmon finished second in the long jump with a mark of 20 feet, 0 ½ inches, behind India Alix (20-3) of Texas. Beckmon, the state record-holder at 20-8, will be unable to join the team in Colombia because she does not have a passport. Cascade’s Emma Gates high-jumped 5-11 ¼ to finish as runner-up to Miracle Ailes (5-11 ¼) of Iowa Western Community College. Gates, who will be a freshman at Arizona this year, is No. 3 on the state’s all-time list at 6-0 ¼. Lily Jones, who graduated from Roosevelt this year, made the relay pool for Team USA by placing sixth in the 100 on Friday. Tyrone Gorze, who will be a senior at Crater this year, won the 5,000 Thursday in 14:08.08, the No. 7 high school time in the nation this year. He came back Saturday to place second in the 3,000 in 8:21.03, well off his best of 8:11.60. Lucas Guerra of Georgetown University won in 8:19.36.

Mortgage support rises for underserved homeowners STAFF REPORT The Oregon Homeowner Assistance Fund program is open to applicants eligible for Phase 3, according to Oregon Housing and Community Services. This is a federal temporary COVID-19 emergency mortgage relief program intended to support homeowners who have experienced severe financial hardships due to the pandemic. It provides funding for past-due mortgages and other housing expenses to a limited number of homeowners with low incomes. OHCS is working to assist homeowners at risk of losing their home in a phased approach. During Phases 1 and 2, it focused on homeowners who were most at-risk of foreclosure or who had the fewest options. Program staff will continue to process applications already submitted in Phases 1 and 2. Eligibility information for the different phases is available on the HAF website. While continuing to serve homeowners eligible for Phases 1 and 2, Phase 3 expands HAF support to homeowners traditionally underserved or less able to recover, including those who are: • Over the age of 62 years • Living with a disability (with proof of benefits) • Rural, as determined by ZIP Code

• Socially disadvantaged individuals (defined by the U.S. Department of the Treasury), including Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, as well as members of federally recognized Tribes • Limited English proficiency (English is not the applicant’s primary language) • Recovering property damage or destruction caused by a natural disaster (with proof of benefits) • Homeowners with mortgages where the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the named beneficiary. This is a very rare situation, where HUD has taken over a loan that is in default. Homeowners should speak with a housing counselor to determine if this is their loan. Resources Homeowners who have not applied and are eligible may now find a new application link on the oregonhomeownerassistance.org website. Homeowners eligible for Phases 1 or 2 may now apply using the same link if they have not previously submitted an application. If homeowners need assistance with their application, the HAF website lists the program’s application intake assistance partners who can help homeowners with online, paper, in-person, or limited English proficiency applications.
