Man arrested for attempted murder, assault

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

A Coos Bay man is facing charges of attempted murder and assault after starting a vehicle on fire that badly burned a woman inside.

The Coos County Sheriff's Office arrested 21-year-old Jesse L. Waggoner after he started a

second fire, this one inside a fifth wheel trailer he was hiding in.

Capt. Gabriel Fabrizio said the sheriff's office went to a property in the 93500 block of Timber Lane, just outside of Coos Bay, on July 1 after a caller reported an assault that occurred the night before.

When deputies arrived, they found signs of the assault on the

property and learned Waggoner was hiding in a fifth-wheel trailer.

Deputies also found a woman with severe burns, which allegedly occurred when Waggoner started a vehicle on fire when the woman was inside had been flown by air ambulance to a hospital in Portland.

Fabrizio said because of the

serious nature of the incident, the Coos County Major Crimes Team was called in to assist.

Deputies also applied for a search warrant while waiting for additional officers to arrive.

As more officers arrived on the property, Waggoner started the fifth wheel on fire while he was inside. Officers on scene went into the trailer and removed

Waggoner before he was harmed and extinguished the blaze.

Waggoner was taken to Bay Area Hospital for evaluation and later transported to the Coos County Jail, where he was booked on charges of attempted murder and assault 1.

Fabrizio said the sheriff's office is continuing to investigate the incidents.

A weekend of celebrations for America's birthday One day was not enough to contain the patriotism and fun as Coos Bay and North Bend celebrated Independence Day with two days of festivities. On Sunday, July 3, The Mill Casino attracted thousands of guests who took part in fun events which led up the largest fireworks display on the Oregon Coast.

On July the Fourth, the city of Coos Bay celebrated double with the Fourth in the Park festivities at Mingus Park during the day and a fireworks display over the bay at night.

Dozens protest 'harmful' abortion ruling

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Less than two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled abortion is not a Constitutional right, more than 50 people protested in downtown Coos Bay, saying the decision will harm women across the nation.

Ashlee Francis brought her son, Dakari Trask, to the event because she is concerned about friends and family in other states.

"I'm here to protest and show support to the areas going through Roe vs. Wade issue right now and have the absolute bans," Francis said. "We're from Arizona, and they're trying to have a full abortion ban."

Francis said she made the difficult decision to have an abortion after Dakari was born because she wanted to be able to give him the life he deserves.

Tribe raises concerns about offshore wind development Last week, the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians submitted comments to the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management expressing significant concern about proposed development of offshore wind energy off the Oregon Coast in areas designated by BOEM as the Coos Bay and Florence call areas.

“The Tribe supports any green economic development project that follows the law and does not harm our environment or Tribal cultural

resources. Given this, the Tribal Council takes the decision to submit these comments seriously,” said Tribal Council Chair Brad Kneaper. “These comments follow the passage of a Tribal Council resolution earlier this month that calls upon BOEM to engage in meaningful government-to government consultation with the Tribe and to take action to ensure that offshore wind energy development in any area of interest to the Tribe avoids or mitigates impacts to Tribal cultural resources to the satisfac-

tion of the Tribe.”

In multiple communications with BOEM, the Tribe raised a number of concerns to BOEM about wind energy development.

These comments include a request that important, cultural viewsheds be excluded from the Call Areas, that wind development, including necessary infrastructure such as transmission lines, not impact areas designated as a Traditional Cultural Property (Q’alya ta Kukwis shichdii me) (located in Coos Bay comprised of the estuary features and adjacent shoreline resources), that development not occur in areas containing cultural features located on submerged landforms, and that wind development avoid areas critical to resident and migratory species, including important areas for fishing.

The Tribe has called the coast its home since time immemorial. The archaeological record of Oregon tribal nations spans more than 11,000 years. Our religious beliefs, traditional practices, fishing, first foods and relations are interconnected and influenced by all that is encompassed in the greater ocean. This claim honors our obligations to uphold our sovereignty, perpetuate our unique cultural identity, and promote the intergenerational transference of knowledge.

avoid impacts to sites of traditional and religious significance to the Tribe, including the TCP features and other sites, such as viewsheds, resources, and submerged landforms that possess associations with the cultural practices, traditions, beliefs, lifeways, art, crafts, or social institutions of our living community.

“The federal government must engage with the Tribe to address our concerns. BOEM has stated that it worked closely with Tribe. While there has been engagement with the Tribe, this engagement has been a one-way conversation with BOEM providing informa-

tion to the Tribe. BOEM has been nonresponsive to addressing our concerns or requests to date. For example, BOEM solicited for Tribes to provide input on environmental studies, however, BOEM did not invite further conversations with the Tribe when we provided study concepts, but we did learn recently that the Bureau met with the State of Oregon extensively to identify prior studies for funding,” said Chair Kneaper.

“The Tribe initially asks BOEM to exclude areas of significant cultural importance to the Tribe in a January letter, but BOEM

included these areas anyway without engaging in government-to-government consultation with the Tribe,” said Chair Kneaper. “Our comments and resolution reiterate that expectation that BOEM uphold its trust obligation to protect Tribal resources and exclude those areas. If BOEM does not, the Tribe will need to look at all opportunities to ensure that wind energy development avoid impacts to resources that are important to the Tribe.”

“The Tribe remains open to working with the BOEM to resolve the issues raised in our comments,” said Chair Kneaper.

League to host forum for council, mayor candidates The League of Women Voters of Coos County has scheduled an informational forum for persons who are interested in running for the positions of mayor or city council member. The forum will include a panel of current or past office holders and city managers from several cities in Coos County, and has been scheduled for Wednesday, July 13, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the North Bend City Council Chambers, 835 California Ave. in North Bend.

Oregon State survey suggests charismatic songbird’s numbers have dramatically declined

By STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Article

The evening grosbeak, a noisy and charismatic songbird, once arrived at Oregon State University in springtime flocks so vast an OSU statistics professor estimated there were up to a quarter million of the birds on campus daily.

Gone is the era, however, when the birds were so numerous that students, staff and faculty felt the need to take cover from grosbeak droppings.

An Oregon State study published in the journal Diversity shows the number of evening grosbeaks using the campus as a migration stop-over site has gone down an average of 2.6% per year over the last four decades.

The bird has been experiencing decades of decline throughout its range, which includes most of the United States, said Douglas Robinson of the OSU College of Agricultural Sciences.

It’s not yet known, Robinson said, why there are fewer evening grosbeaks than there used to be. It could be related to disease, climate change or shifts in land use, or some combination of those, or a different factor that scientists have yet to uncover.

“Planned surveys designed to take advantage of opportunities presented by spring stop-over sites will improve our understanding of population fluctuations over time,” Robinson said. “Our observations suggest that further attention should be directed toward risk analyses and hypothesized explanations for the decline of this charismatic bird species.”

Research led by Robinson produced a single-day high count of 1,442 birds during 117 surveys that took place on the Oregon State campus from 2013 to 2015.

In total, the researchers counted 8,407 grosbeaks.

“The numbers that used to appear here each spring were in the hundreds of thousands,” said Robinson, who was the Mace Watchable Wildlife Endowed Chair at OSU during the study.

“Now we are down to a few thousand at most, sometimes just a few hundred. We went from newspaper reports of students

The evening grosbeak, a black, white and bright yellow member of the finch family, is an irruptive species – if food is scarce in winter, it moves south. But it also migrates on predictable schedules, especially during springtime, enabling populations to be monitored at stop-over locations like OSU’s Corvallis campus.

“They eat elm seeds here before moving off to their forest breeding grounds in June,” Robinson said.

“They’re usually here for a few weeks in April and May.” Impressed by their huge numbers, Fred Ramsey, an OSU statistics professor from 1966 to 2003, used a randomized sampling strategy to count birds in selected elm trees. Ramsey, who over the course of his career made major contributions in the field of wildlife population estimation, calculated that on

one spring day in the mid-1970s there were 150,000 to 250,000 birds foraging on campus.

Ramsey produced multiple papers on estimating wildlife abundance and participated in surveys of bird populations on numerous Pacific Islands, though his evening grosbeak estimate was not part of a scientific article.

“But Ramsey was a professional statistician, and even in the unlikely event he was off by an order of magnitude, it seems safe to conclude that evening grosbeak numbers are substantially lower than they were 45 years ago at our study site,” Robinson said. “When we compare the lower value from Ramsey’s estimate – 150,000 – with our maximum daily count of 1,442, that’s an average annual decline of 2.6%. Meanwhile, declines across the entire range of evening grosbeaks as quantified by North American Breeding Bird Survey data show a decline of 2.5%.”

The number of elm trees on campus has also gone down

since Ramsey’s day, though the tree decline’s connection to the grosbeak population is uncertain.

Elms were planted across campus beginning with 35 in 1913 and eventually were the dominant canopy tree on campus, numbering more than 330 mature trees, Robinson said.

“In 1978, Dutch elm disease was spreading across North America, and there were concerns that arrival of the disease would cause widespread death of the elms, leaving the campus without shade trees,” he said. “That led to the removal of elms to ensure that root connections between infected trees would not allow the disease to spread too quickly.”

Over 10 years, all of the at-risk elms were cut down and replaced with disease-resistant elm varieties or other tree species; today the campus features 143 mature elms. Robinson doesn’t know of any evidence that disease resistant elms produce food that is less plentiful or desirable to grosbeaks but notes that could be

a possibility.

It’s unlikely, however, that grosbeaks have simply shifted their foraging sites to other parts of Corvallis or the Willamette Valley, he said. Data from eBird from 2004 to 2021 showed a few higher counts from around Corvallis than what was observed on campus, but the highest single day count was fewer than 2,000 birds, he said.

Most high counts were between 90 and 500 birds, with similarly small tallies reported across the whole Willamette Valley.

Four Oregon State University students, now all at other research institutions following their graduation, took part in the study: Jessica Greer (University of California Davis), Juliana Masseloux (Zoological Society of London), Tyler Hallman (Swiss Ornithological Institute) and Jenna Curtis (Cornell Lab of Ornithology). Greer and Masseloux were undergraduates, and Curtis and Hallman were doctoral students.

Guest Article

Songbirds learning from nearby birds that food supplies might be growing short respond by changing their physiology as well as their behavior, research by the Oregon State University College of Science shows.

After receiving social information from food-restricted neighbors for three days, the red crossbills in the study raised their pace of consumption, increased their gut mass and maintained the size of the muscle responsible for flight when their own eating opportunities were subsequently limited to two short feeding periods per day.

Findings of the study by OSU’s Jamie Cornelius, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, suggest that birds can use social information about food shortages to effect an adaptive advantage for survival.

“This is an entirely new form of physiological plasticity in birds and builds on prior work showing that social cues during stress can actually change how the brain processes stressors,” said Cornelius, assistant professor of integrative biology.

Cornelius, an ecophysiologist, looks at the mechanisms that wild animals, particularly songbirds, use as they cope with unpredictable and extreme events in their environment, including fluctuations in food availability.

Her research combines nat-

ural history, endocrinology and biotelemetry to probe for a better understanding of what limits an animal’s fitness under difficult conditions.

“Animals have all kinds of strategies for dealing with challenging environments, ranging from seasonal avoidance strategies like hibernation or migration to behaviors like caching or altered foraging activity,” she said.

“Physiological adjustments in metabolic rate, digestive capacity and energy reserves can sometimes accompany behavioral changes, but those things can take time to execute.

That means unpredictable environmental conditions are particularly challenging for many animals.”

Cornelius showed in earlier research that a red crossbill with a food-restricted neighbor will secrete higher than usual levels of the stress hormone corticosterone during its own food-stress periods and also undergo brain activity changes that prepare the bird to respond more strongly to the challenge.

The red crossbill, known scientifically as Loxia curvirostra, is a nomadic species that migrates based on food availability and incorporates other birds’ calls or behavior into its decision-making on how to respond to food deprivation.

Found throughout Europe and North America, the crossbill is a member of the finch family.

It is known, as its name suggests, for upper and

lower beak tips that cross, a feature that helps it pull seeds from conifer cones and other fruits.

“Crossbills are an interesting study system because of their dependence on conifer seeds,” Cornelius said. “Conifer seed crops are somewhat unpredictable both in where seed crops develop each year and in how long a seed crop might support birds. We use crossbills as a study system to try to understand what strategies birds might have available when food suddenly declines because crossbills may have to cope with this more often than other species.”

In this research, which involved crossbills in captivity, some of the birds received three days of social information from food-deprived birds prior to their own food limitations; other birds received three days of social information from food-deprived birds at the same time as their own food deprivation.

Cornelius refers to the former collection of birds as the social predictive focal group and the latter as the social parallel focal group.

“The birds did better at maintaining body mass during food restriction if the social information was predictive of the decline in food resources,” she said.

“Social information is important to animals in many different contexts, and this study demonstrates a novel benefit: Advance warning about declining food can lead to better outcomes during times of scarcity.”

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren FAMILY DRAMA INTENSIFIES WITH DOGS' DISAPPEARANCE DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have inherited four dogs from relatives. I was out of state for a month (my husband was home) when two of them were dognapped, driven 42 miles away and abandoned in the wilderness.

I suspected who had done it right away, but when I heard where the dogs had been abandoned, I knew without a doubt. We were lucky: One dog was microchipped, which eventually led him back to us.

Both were cared for by rescue foundations until I could bring them home.

The person who did it is our son's girlfriend -- and the mother of his child. We are appalled and feel betrayed and sickened. My son admitted he knew she had done it.

He showed remorse and gave a heartfelt apology. She has completely avoided us, with no admission or apology.

Should we press charges for stealing our dogs and abandoning them? They live on our property in a home we own, and pay nothing to live here. She and I used to be close. Now my husband and I no longer want to have her around. All trust is gone.

Please advise me how to deal with this. -- VICTIM IN OHIO DEAR VICTIM: Did the dogs do anything to threaten the girlfriend or your grandchild? If the answer is yes, then those animals present a danger. If the answer is no, tell your son you plan to press charges against his girlfriend for theft and animal cruelty, and you expect him to corroborate that she was the perpetrator. If he refuses, give them a date by which they should be off your property.

DEAR ABBY: I recently lost my precious husband of 43 years to COVID. Needless to say, this is a very painful time for me. Since his passing, my "best friend" has been blowing me off if we have plans, and no longer calling or texting at all. I don't get it. I have done a lot for her during our friendship.

I'm experiencing the hardest time in my life, and I really need a friend. Now I'm not only grieving the loss of my husband, but I am also grieving a lost friendship and don't understand why. Aside from confronting her, is there anything I can do? -- LONE-

LY AND SAD IN NEVADA DEAR LONELY: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your husband. That your friend is behaving the way she has been is regrettable. Before confronting her, please let me suggest some things you can do: Join a grief support group if you don't already belong to one. Your doctor or religious adviser can direct you to one.

Stay physically and mentally active, which will give you less time to brood.

After that, you can decide whether it's in your interest to confront this person for her inability or unwillingness to be present for you when you needed her most.

a project that updates the existing northwest apron pavement that has reached the end of its useful life and adds another southwest apron to accommodate increased local use.

“The Southwest Oregon Regional Airport is eager to put these funds to use toward a new aircraft apron that will accommodate the increase in airport users that the Oregon Coast is experiencing. Additionally this will provide a connectivity to our soon to be constructed, intermodal Air Cargo Facility,” said Theresa Cook, executive director of Coos County Airport District.

Roseburg Airport will receive $200,000 to reconfigure its Taxiway A to meet Federal Aviation Administration design standards.

“We are so appreciative of this grant for making the design possible and thank the Oregon delegation and FAA for making this safety improvement a reality,” said Roseburg City Manager Nikki Messenger. “We have been looking forward to extending the taxiway to match the runway length for over a decade and this will help us make that happen.”

Guest Opinion

The fight against gun proliferation may seem hopeless; it is not

By ROBERT PAWLICKI InsideSources.com

The decision to strike down New York’s law limiting guns in public appears to be an almost fatal blow in the war to reduce gun violence. It is a significant setback. But the battle has never been likely to be won at the federal level or through the Supreme Court. The struggle can change only at the cultural level, a long-hard fight.

Twenty-seven states are deeply committed to lenient gun laws and are unlikely to change. The remaining states must work harder to minimize the gun culture that feeds our national malaise. It is not a perfect answer, but it can make a meaningful difference.

States that have already enacted strict gun laws, such as Hawaii and Connecticut, have demonstrated that change is possible.

These two states have one-seventh the number of gun ownership as lenient gun ownership states like Mississippi.

Concomitantly, they have one-seventh per capita gun-related deaths as well.

The difference between these two extremes is not simply the number of guns.

It is also the culture that permeates and propagates the proliferation of firearms. That culture consists of gun shows, boundless gun stores, gun-promoting billboards, and manufacturer’s advertisements emphasizing gun ownership as manly. Together, they feed a comfort and a perceived need for gun ownership.

Take billboards, for example. Guns advertisements on billboards are standard in much of America. High-powered military automatic guns highlight and often advertise testosterone-laden weapons.

Messages such as “BE A MAN AMONG MEN” proliferate the gun world, primarily targeting young men. There is an absence of counter-messaging in this impressionable group.

An internet check shows that there is a gun retailer within easy driving distance of virtually every American. Nationwide there are 50,000 more gun shops than McDonald’s.

Gun shows are essential in creating guns’ availability and devotion to owning unique and powerful weapons. There are more than

5,000 gun shows annually in the United States.

These elements create a feeling of normality, a sense that weapons are necessary for protection, as if guns were as American as apple pie. They are more common than apple pie.

Between 2000 and 2021, background checks for gun purchases have risen from 8.5 million to 38.9 million.

Our nation’s gun addiction was like our devotion to cigarettes 70 years ago.

At the time, it appeared unimaginable that smoking habits would change. Forty-five percent of Americans were addicted, and the forces maintaining that poison were significant.

The tobacco industry was robust and fully supported by tobacco-growing states.

Today, fewer than 12.5 percent of Americans smoke, and the habit among young people is still less.

How did that happen?

No one action but an aggregate of laws, corporate policies and societal pressures. Tobacco became heavily taxed. Places available to smoke, such as work and public settings, prohibited smoking, and cigarette machines became less common. Advertisements emphasizing the dangers of smoking became widespread, and age limits were imposed on cigarette purchases.

The high profits of tobacco companies were widely publicized. This aggregate made the difference.

A comparison between guns and tobacco is far from perfect, but it does demonstrate that highly embedded habits can change.

Expecting politicians from lenient gun law states to vote for strict gun policies is unrealistic. The legislators are following their constituents’ wishes. They would be removed from office if they supported strict gun law legislation.

Their votes will not change until their constituents’ views change. Those views have become codified by gun culture.

With such formidable factors supporting gun ownership, it seems wise strategically to focus on states open to strict gun laws where change is possible.

ABOUT THE WRITER Robert Pawlicki is a retired psychologist and a frequent contributor to the Savannah (Ga.) Morning News. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

Letters to the Editor Time for change

The other day a woman went to the North Bend City Council meeting to voice her concerns. She was so scared that she was almost unable to speak. You could tell she is not someone who speaks out against elected officials.

She spoke about being terrified to go to work every single day because the homeless next to where she works have assaulted her, pulled knives on her and harassed her multiple times.

Nobody in a civilized society should ever have to deal with that. Especially in a town of only 10,000 people.

When the woman finished speaking, she waited for a response. Then she asked for their solutions. How does the mayor respond? She responds by saying that this is not a time for discord and the city recorder wrote down what was said. She could not give an apology or show any support what so ever.

The crime in North Bend is because of her inaction.

The filth in North Bend is because of her inaction. She is supposed to be a leader. This is the road she is leading us down. She proved what kind of person she is. Incapable of caring about her constituents. Incapable of making North Bend a better place. Incapable of leading.

She is a follower. She is following what the newest political fads want her to be. Instead of choosing to do what is right and best for the community, she chooses to protect the worst of the worst in town. Anybody who is incapable of protecting its citizens from rape, assault and harassment on a daily basis has no business in a leadership position. Anybody choosing criminals over the law abiding citizens does not belong in this town.

Thank you

The Coastal Memory Walk 3rd annual fundraiser was held for Alzheimer's research on Saturday, June 18, at Bandon City Park. The event featured three different walks down to the beach, including an ADA accessible walk.

Circles in the Sand featured a special memory circle in honor of those who lost their lives to Alzheimer's and those that are still fighting. We want to thank the community and local business that made generous donations, which contributed to the success of the event. As a result of these and other donations the Coastal Memory Walk team was able to raise nearly $10,000 for Alzheimer's research.

The Bandon Coastal Memory walk event is one of the largest fundraisers for Alzheimer's in the state. Planning for the next event begins in October. If you'd like to participate in the planning for the 2023 walk, please contact Pacific View at 541-347-7502 Mary Evans Bandon

Keep bikes off our streets

There has been a lot of talk of making the area more bike-friendly. The pro-bike crowd is just a very small, but very loud, minority of (usually insufferable) people.

There are basically three types of cyclists that inhabit this area: the enviro-weenies, Lance Armstrong-Wannabe types, and degenerates without cars or driver's licenses.

I also suspect some of the pro-bike crowd has images of grandeur that involve downtown Coos Bay looking like picturesque modern Europe. That's not going to happen.

Don't be foolish.

Bikes are not even a good method of transportation for the citizens of this community. Why, you ask? There are two things that make for unpleasant bike rides: rain and hills. Coos Bay and North Bend have plenty of both.

Bikes simply are not a valid method of transportation around here.

Our main roads will also always be dangerous for cyclists. Most of our businesses are adjacent highways.

Highways should be reserved for motor vehicle traffic.

The whole point of a highway is to allow automobiles to get from point A to B quickly. They're not designed to support your cycling hobby.

Outside of town, the shoulders along Highway 101 are very narrow. Cyclists riding on windy days often have trouble keeping their bikes within the shoulder. Long convoys of cyclists also put everybody in danger. If a driver meets an obstruction in the road, or a wayward vehicle in the oncoming lane, the driver may have no choice but

to wipe out the Tour de France to their right in order to avoid it. Well-designed highways ensure that there is ample room on either side of the road for vehicles to pull of or swerve to avoid hazards. The shoulder of a Highway isn't the place to peddle your Huffy, sorry.

If bikes are going to be on public rights-of-way, they should only be allowed on streets already geared toward slow-moving vehicle and pedestrian traffic. They should absolutely not be allowed anywhere near a highway.

That puts both the drivers and the cyclists in danger. The cyclists should find better places to enjoy their hobby.

Mind your own business

I’m here to speak up in defense of the Pride Flag. Not everyone thinks homosexuality is evil, or that gays are bad people or “pedophiles.” One’s sexual identity and preferences are just a small part of who one is.

Who else’s life is affected by that? Long as one isn’t a sexual predator, it should be of no consequence to anyone else. If those not fitting the heterosexual mold hadn’t been maligned, ostracized and abused for so long, by gender bigots targeting them along with our so-called legal justice system, there would be no need for a gay pride movement to counter all that hate. The Pride flag wouldn’t even exist.

I for one am tired of all this culture war BS. Seems to me we’ve much bigger fish to fry if humanity is to even have a future. I think some folks just need to get a grip on the fact that people have differences, and differences are OK. Some people are straight, some are gay, some in between. Some people are white, some are black, some in between. Some are religious, some not. Some politically conservative, others not so much.

Gee wouldn’t it be nice if we all learned to just live and let live, be respectful and kind, and mind our own business.

Where it went wrong

Colorado was the first state to change abortion law in 1967, followed by California in 1967 and New York in 1970. In 1973, SCOTUS legalized abortion in all fifty states with Roe v Wade (RvW).

That’s where it all went wrong.

During a lecture, The Honorable Ruth Bader Ginsberg (RBG) gave at New York University in 1992, RBG noted that RvW was an example of how "doctrinal limbs too swiftly shaped...may prove unstable." RBG disagreed with the base argument that the right to abortion was based on the privacy of a woman with her doctor.

It should have been written as a “violation of equal protection.” “Equal protection” is already guaranteed by the Constitution!

One of the possible reasons the court in ’73 decided to not use equal protection, is because there would surely be the argument of the “equal protection of the baby.”

Using privacy between a woman and her doctor, put the woman in the primary position. (mistake) Had SCOTUS ‘73 used “privacy between the doctor and their patient,” RvW could have fallen into that amendment and possibly withstood time. One can only assume that the court was more concerned with the possible argument of “equal protection to the baby” and went with privacy, only for women.

Note: Constitutional law applies equally to everyone in the country, not just for women.

Recently the RvW decision was returned to the states.

The 9th Amendment. “Rights not enumerated (already listed in the Constitution) are retained by the people.”

“The people” are the states, all 50 of them.

Now, proponents of abortion rights who would think all they need to do is what should have been done in ’73, will surely find the argument regarding “equal protection of the baby” waiting for them.

Accept abortion is back with the state, it should have never left the state and it should remain with the state.

States apply law regarding education, alcohol, marijuana, abortion, voting, blah blah blah.

Pregnancy is preventable, be responsible.

Some restrictions/closures for wild Chinook but more wild coho retention seasons expected Anglers fishing for salmon in some coastal rivers this fall will face closures or reduced bag limits for wild fall Chinook, but more opportunity for wild coho.

ODFW has adopted regulations for wild fall Chinook seasons based on the sliding scale in the 2014 Coastal Multi-species Conservation and Management Plan (CMP) and the Rogue Fall Chinook Salmon Plan Conservation Plan, two plans developed through rigorous public processes to sustain coastal salmon populations. Poor returns in 2021 and low forecasts for 2022 trigger conservation concerns in both plans, resulting in reduced or closed retention for wild fall Chinook in several basins.

For more information about the plans and wild fall Chinook returns and forecasts in each basin, please see the June 7 webinar and presentation (PDF) at https://myodfw.com/articles/ fall-coastal-salmon-management In contrast to wild Chinook, which have a different life cycle than coho, the outlook for wild coho for the Oregon coast is similar to last year’s strong return. In 2021 there were wild coho retention seasons in four coastal rivers for the first time in five years. ODFW anticipates nine basins will have wild coho retention this year (Alsea, Beaver Creek, Coos, Nehalem, Nestucca, Siletz, Tillamook, Umpqua, Yaquina).

Fall coho regulations will be set later in the summer after

consideration by NOAA Fisheries since Oregon Coast Natural coho remain listed as Threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. Below is a summary of 2022 regulations for wild fall Chinook. Go to the Recreation Report for your angling zone and click Regulation Updates tab to see more details.

CLOSED TO ALL SALMON ANGLING Siuslaw, Coquille, and Floras Creek/New River RESTRICTIONS ON WILD CHINOOK HARVEST AND/ OR OPEN FOR HATCHERY CHINOOK Coos, Sixes, Hunter Creek, Pistol, Chetco, and Winchuck rivers will be open for some wild Chinook harvest with a reduced bag limit.

Tillamook Bay basin (including the Tillamook, Wilson, Trask, Kilchis and Miami rivers) will be open for retention of hatchery salmon but be closed to wild Chinook retention.

Elk River will be open for retention of hatchery Chinook but closed to wild Chinook retention, as in recent years.

OPEN UNDER PERMANENT CHINOOK REGULATIONS Alsea, Necanicum, Nehalem, Nestucca, Rogue, Salmon, Siletz, Umpqua (mainstem, Smith River and North Fork Smith River) and Yaquina rivers.

Creel survey programs will be in place in several basins to monitor fisheries.

Coquille’s Yates has big game in Les Schwab Bowl Coquille’s Gunner Yates had a big game Saturday in the annual Les Schwab Bowl, which included players from the state’s smaller schools in addition to the biggest schools.

Yates, who led the Red Devils to their second state title last fall (the first was in 1970) and was the Class 2A offensive player of the year, had two long touchdowns for Team Columbia and was that squad’s offensive MVP in the game played at Linfield College in McMinnville.

Both of Yates’ scores came in the second quarter, the first on a 52-yard run around the left end and the second when he took a swing pass from Central Catholic quarterback Cru Newman and raced 59 yards for a score.

Yates finished the game with five carries for 72 yards. He also had one tackle on defense.

Team Columbia won the game 28-9, scoring the first 28 points of the contest.

Siuslaw wide receiver Braydon Thornton was on the roster

for Team Willamette.

After the game, Yates said he plans to play for Southern Oregon University, where his dad, Griff, was a record-breaking running back.

Yates also played in the game last year as a junior, when he was on the South Team, which won 31-8. He scored a touchdown on a 4-yard run in the fourth quarter of that game and finished with 15 yards on three carries and had one kickoff return for 22 yards.

He also had an interception, two tackles and two pass break-ups.

Last year was the first time underclassmen were eligible to play in the game.

Yates also has been chosen for the upcoming East-West Shrine Game at Baker High School, along with Bandon’s Cooper Lang, Siuslaw’s Camp Lacouture, They were picked for the East team.

Marshfield’s Dom Montiel and Ezra Waterman were chosen for the West team.

The game will be played Saturday, Aug. 6.

After leading Coquille to the state championship in football last year, Gunner Yates showed off his skills again with two long touchdowns in the Les Schwab Bowl.

North Coos, South Coos trade doubleheader sweeps North Coos won a pair of nonleague American Legion games against South Coos on Saturday, but when the games counted toward the standings on Tuesday, South Coos took both halves of the twin bill.

The Saturday doubleheader was scheduled quickly after other games for the two teams fell through.

North Coos won the first game 6-1 as Luke

Wheeling pitched a two-hitter for North Coos, both hits by Cobin Bouska.

North Coos won the second game 10-4. Bryant Wicks pitched five quality innings for the Waterfront and Knoll Gederos threw the final two innings.

Wheeling had two hits an Jack Burgmeier had multiple RBIs in the win.

On Tuesday, South Coos won 6-3 and 2-1.

Colton Siewell pitched a strong game for the Nooks in the opener and Luke Parry had a two-run homer following an error to erase a 1-0 deficit in the sixth inning of the nightcap after North Coos had led most of the way.

In the first game, Siewell pitched the first five innings, striking out 10, before Jake Sproul finished off the win. Parry had three hits and two

runs, Siewell and Max James each had two hits, Landon Croff drove in two runs and Dean Tucker scored twice. Peyton Forrester had two hits and a run for North Coos and Gederos had a hit, a run and an RBI. Croff was the winning pitcher in the second game for the Nooks, allowing just two hits, by Forrester and Carter Brock. Sam Mickelson scored the run

for North Coos.

Gederos and Aidan Nelson combined on a three-hitter for North Coos, with Parry having two hits and Bridger Olson one. Croff was on base when Parry hit the home run.

It was a well-played doubleheader, North Coos coach Brad Horning said.

“Both teams made some outstanding plays on defense,” he said. “Their

pitchers — Croff, Siewell and Sproul — filled up the (strike) zone. Our pitchers — Hunter Wheeling, Knoll Gederos and Aidan Nelson — did the same.”

For South Coos, the wins followed a pair of doubleheader victories over Brookings. The Nooks won both games last Thursday by matching 8-3 scores and then won two more Sunday by scores of 3-2 and 15-4.

Rector is fastest in White Cedar Days run Luke Rector raced to a victory in the White Cedar Days run at Powers on Saturday, covering the 10-kilometer course in 44 minutes and 35 seconds.

The race followed the traditional course that starts at Elk Creek Falls outside of town and finishes in the community after being held on alternate routes in recent years.

The race was part of the city’s annual White Cedar Days festival.

Emilie Martinez was the fastest female finisher in the 10K, crossing the line in 46:29.

Eljah Cellura was fastest in the 5-kilometer run in 19:14, while Lexie Jones-Ortega was quickest among female runners in 23:38.

Keizer and his brother, Dr. Russel Keizer, of North Bend, have purchased from the city the corner property on McPherson and Virginia street, diagonally across from the home of Fred Hollister. They plan to erect upon this site a two-story concrete building with full basement, which will be equipped for a first-class hospital. The Keizer brothers and Dr. H.E. Burmeister will have offices in the building.

The grading contract has been let to Ira Padrick, who will at once commence work.

Plans have been submitted for the structure itself, and are under consideration.

It is hoped to have the building roofed before the rainy season begins, and ready for occupancy some time in the fall.

North Bend has large crowd for the celebration Fete opens this morning with an entertainment by the Coos Bay band Races and other sports are held on streets City is brightly decorated for occasion and will entertain many visitors Good time is promised for tomorrow also — parade and other attractions are on program — prizes awarded today Large crowds were gathered on the North Bend streets at an early hour this morning in readiness for the big celebration. With flags flying everywhere, bunting and evergreens decorating store fronts, and concession stands lining the streets where hawkers cried their wares, a general air of festivity permeated the atmosphere.

A concert by the newly organized Coos Bay concert band, directed by C.S. Kaiser, opened the day’s program at 9:00 a.m.

The band played from the specially erected platform at the corner of Virginia and Sherman, next to the First National Bank.

At 9:30 the street sports were started.

Forest fires in Coquille valley

Pall of smoke enshrouds Coos county

seat now No particular damage reported COQUILLE — A pall of smoke overhangs the Coquille valley as a result of forest fires along the river. The fire which started over a month ago in the Fat Elk camp is still burning. It is burning through logged off land and is doing no damage.

A new fire has sprung up back of the Joe Collier ranch and is making a lot of headway across recent logged off lands, but as of yet it does not threaten any valuable lumber, though the changing of the wind at any time may send it through the heavy belt of timber to the northwest.

As a result of the fires a clear view of the mountains surrounding the valley has not been had for several days and the smoke, combined with the heat, makes the air very warm and oppressive.

50 YEARS — 1972 Rainfall off in SWO during June Old Sol shone brightly as he waved farewell to the month of June which had many “what is so rare as a bad day in June?” hours for the Bay Area.

Temperatures were about normal for the month, although rainfall was only about half the average amount and sunny days predominated.

Daytime temperatures ranged from a high of 70 degrees, registered June 27, down to 56 degrees on June 9, the only tie the thermometer dipped below 60.

The nighttime readings dropped to a moderate low of 43 degrees on June 3, while the highest was a balmy 57 on June 14.

Unofficial figures are taken from the files of The World, kept from official figures recorded at the FAA Flight Service Station at the North Bend Airport.

The all-time temperature extremes here, according to the Portland office of the U.S. Department of Commerce Weather Bureau, include a scoring 100 degrees recorded June 24, 1925, and a low of 34 degrees on June 4, 1911.

Rainfall was a mere .87 inch, while the average for the same period over the last 70 years is 1.66 inches. Last year’s rainfall for the same 30 days measured 2.82 inches and the record rainfall, 5.72, was recorded in 1947.

Prefontaine ‘felt great’ in winning 5,000 meter run EUGENE (UPI) — Thursday, after winning his heat in the 5,000 meter run at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials, Steve Prefontaine said things such as: “I felt just great. I hope I feel the same way Sunday. I needed this race for a lot of reasons. Mostly it was the psychological factor. When you have rested for four or five days, you wonder if you still have it.”

Then, after going over his 5,000 victory, and a qualifying fifth-place finish by George Young in the other section of the metric mile, Prefontaine started to worry.

“He (Young) must be in good shape or he wouldn’t be here.”

Prefontaine isn’t happy and probably never will be until he has beaten Young, third in the steeplechase and 16th in the marathon at the 1968 Olympics. Sunday, he gets his first crack at the veteran shooting for his fourth Olympic berth..

20 YEARS — 2002 County honors deputies’ innovative ideas, academics COQUILLE — Two Coos County Sheriff’s Office deputies received awards for excellence recently at a meeting of the Coos County Board of Commissioners.

Deputies Adam Slater and Eric Zanni were awarded department and police academy honors by Sheriff Andy Jackson and Lt. Ron Setelia, jail commander.

Slater earned the prestigious Victor G. Atiyea Award for being the top overall student in his class at the Basic Corrections Academy at Oregon Police Academy in Monmouth.

“This award is probably one of the highest awards a person can receive at the academy,” said Jackson, who also has a Victor G. Atiyea Award. “It’s based on academic achievement, leadership skills and they’re chosen by the staff and student body up there.”

Slater indicated enjoying the academy made it easier to excel.

“I think it was really neat,” he said of the monthlong experience. “I had a really good time at the academy and I learned a lot of stuff.”

Slater, 23, who has worked for the

Sheriff’s Office six months, graduated from the Police Academy in early April.

He also was named the Outstanding Defense Tactics Student.

Zanni, 32, was recognized at the departmental level with the Sheriff’s Medal of Merit.

Zanni, who has been employed at the jail full time for nearly a year, suggested putting small pass-through doors on the holding cell doors in the jail’s booking area. That way, food and other items could be passed to inmates more safely without opening the door.

“That way we didn’t have to contact people who were mentally ill or violent,” said Jackson. “It reduced injuries to the officers, so it was kind of a risk management issue.”

Port wants more than talk on diversity Cargo potential: Agency sets aside $150,000 for study on modern terminal Two candidates are in the running to serve as consultant to the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay in its progress in establishing a modern marine cargo facility on the Bayfront.

Port of Coos Bay commissioners will hold a special meeting at 10 a.m. Thursday to interview representatives from each of the companies interested in the job. Among the firms that responded to a request for proposals issued by the port include the engineering consultants Peratrovich, Nottingham & Drage, Inc., which has offices in the Northwest, Alaska and California; and PB Ports and Marine, a division of the Parsons Brinckerhoff, a global company with headquarters in New York City.

The port hopes to revive the downtrodden maritime industry, once a major player in the local economy, potentially by establishing a modern dock facility capable of handling various forms of cargo.

A $50,000 port-funded report delivered in March suggested the port needs to diversify from its traditional forest products base into other forms of cargo. While the report stated that competing with other ports will be difficult, it indicated a modern terminal preferably located on the North Spit would be necessary to improve commerce.

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

Bandon Library Art Gallery reopens with July 9 reception Bandon Library Art Gallery is pleased to announce their full reopening and resumption of two-month-long shows, with “Sea and Sky,” which will run through the end of July.

Summer has started on the gallery walls, where skyscapes and seascapes by Vicki Affatati and Abby Lazerow brighten the often overcast Bandon days. Inside the library, Victoria Tierney has filled the Long Wall from one end to the other with watercolors and digital art, while the Neo-Classical African sculpture

by Charles Tatum continues in the cases. A reception is scheduled for July 9 from noon to 2 p.m., in the Sprague Room at 1204 11th Street SW, Bandon.

A much-loved teacher as well as a painter, Vicki Affatati has made a series of brilliant skyscapes in acrylics, reveling in the colors of floating clouds and sunsets. Sharing the gallery walls with Affatati is Abby Lazerow of Ashland, whose highly skilled oil paintings are of sea, swimmers and coastal cliffs. Together these artists evoke the glory days of Summer and serve as reminders to take in all the beauty of the South Coast of Oregon.

Inside the library on the Long Wall, Victoria Tierney has arrayed a collection of watercolors and digital art made with the program Art Rage. With a finger or her iPen and tablet she draws, colors, and paints, playing in a virtual sandbox, discovering new ways to express her seemingly limitless imagination. This digital work may be a complex abstract or a simple cartoon-like drawing, while her finely realized watercolor plants and portraits demonstrate her virtuosity with conventional methods.

All are welcome at the July 9 reception. Refreshments will be served, and the artists will be there to discuss their work. “Sea and Sky” runs through the end of July. Gallery hours are the same as Bandon Library hours, which can be found at https://www. bandonlibrary.org/. The gallery Facebook page is https://www. facebook.com/BandonLibraryArtGallery.

Among the art displayed at the Bandon Library Art Gallery are works by Victoria Tierney, Charles Tatum, Abby Lazerow and Vicki Affatati.

THE WORLD

A10

AS I SEE IT: Coquille River voyages

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN a new school house next year, I found the most interesting story in the March 1913 Klakahma, a magazine published monthly by students of Bandon High School, with two seniors on the editorial team, Archie Rosa and Esther Solve, later marrying and becoming productive members of the Bandon community.

I have chosen three photos to illustrate a letter in the Klakahma, written by a May Kinley to her friend, Katherine, dated March 14, 1913.

"We had a very pleasant trip down the Coquille river and enjoyed the beautiful scenery which is at its best at this time of year. You know we took a boat from Portland to Marshfield, and then a train to Coquille before we started on our down-river trip (first photo). The ride from Marshfield to Coquille on the train was not very agreeable, but we soon forgot it as we were coming down the river.

We passed several sawmills and small towns, but I was not very much interested in them. But as soon as we came in sight of Bandon I could hardly restrain my impatience, so anxious was I to see the town which I had heard so much about. It seemed so much larger than I had supposed and there were so many factories and mills scattered along the water-front that it looked quite city-like.

"There is quite a large harbor here and the citizens are trying to have the bar deepened so that large ships may enter. However, there are several large boats here now, the largest one, the Grace Dollar (second photo), just arriving last week.

"There are two or three fairly good hotels here (third photo of the Gallier Hotel) and seven or eight fine stores, besides the warehouses. The streets seem to be filled with people all the time, and everything has such a busy, prosperous look. I was surprised, too, at the number of automobiles they have here as I expected that there would be only two or three.

"Yesterday we visited the school house and were shown through the building. It is a fine building, three stories high, besides a fine cement basement.

Eighteen teachers are employed in the school for about 600 pupils.

"They are beginning to build

as the attendance is increasing so rapidly that one school house cannot accommodate them all.

"There are about 70 pupils in the high school, with four regular teachers. An up-do-date gymnasium is badly needed, and as yet there are no manual training nor domestic science departments; but there is a special teacher in commercial work, also one in music.

"There are churches of almost all denominations here.

The new Presbyterian church which is now under construction to replace the old one which burned a few years ago, will soon be finished and is a fine one, and will be spacious enough to accommodate large gatherings.

"The Bandon Beach, of which you have probably heard, is one of the grandest on the Pacific Coast. It has so many large, beautiful, wave-sculptured rocks, which makes it appear so rugged. Its beauty and its short distance from the town make it very popular, and some day it will be a famous summer resort.

Even now there are hundreds of campers who come here in the summer to camp for several weeks to escape the heat of their home places. Some come from as far away places as Roseburg and Portland but the greater number of them come from up river points. They camp on the bluff above the beach and there is a regular 'tent city' there every summer.

"They tell me that the chief industries here are lumbering and dairying. Bandon is the shipping point for all the farm produce, and this industry will gradually increase as new and better roads are being built.

The lumber export is gradually becoming the greatest factor in the city's growth, and with new boats being built for this port all the time, it will become even more important.

"There are about three thousand people in Bandon now, but there are so many travelers coming and going that it seems many more. The population has increased greatly within the last two years, and strangers coming here have difficulty in renting houses. Residences are being built all the time, but the demand is greater than the supply.

Your friend, May Kinley," Ironically the two large ads on the back cover of the publi-

cation belonged to Archie Rosa's father, the R.H. Rosa Co., dealers in general merchandise, and Bank of Bandon, where he spent his long career in banking, following in the footsteps of his father, who served as an early Vice President and Director at the bank.

--------------------------------------Just a reminder for Bandon High School graduates of all ages, the all-school reunion is set for Saturday, Aug.6, from noon to 4 at the high school gym on Ninth Street. It is sponsored by the Bandon Historical Society. We are urging people to communicate the information to others, who may not be on Facebook and not know about it.

--------------------------------------Speaking of the museum, of which I am a board member, we recently received rubbings from the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., which contains the names of two Bandon High graduates, Terry Williams and Terry Sumerlin, class of 1966, both of whom died in the War. Bo Shindler, a BHS grad who lives in Gold Beach, sent the rubbings after he and his family visited the War Memorial several months ago.

--------------------------------------For the month of June, my weather guy recorded 3.07 inches of rain, the most for a June in the last 10 years, to bring the 2022 rain total to 30.21 inches, compared to 35.85 for the same period last year. The difference was this January we only had 5 inches of rain, compared to 14.13 in January of 2021.

--------------------------------------I was surprised and honored to receive an email from the Coos County Historical Society this week saying that I had been named co-winner of the 2022 Nathan Douthit Local Historian Award "for your contribution of your column 'As I See It' telling of the stories and lives of the people living in and around Bandon."

I have been writing my column for many years, and for over a decade it has appeared on line at Bandon.tv, but it wasn't until it began to run in The World (and lately in the Coquille Sentinel) did people outside of Bandon read it.

I will be attending their annual meeting on July 8 to receive the award. I will be

joining good company because my friend Jim Proehl received the same award in 2017 for his many contributions as a member of the Bandon Historical Society museum board and local historian.

--------------------------------------Speaking of honors, the Bandon Police Department received word last week that one of our officers, Taylor Bollin, received recognition from ODOT's Impaired Driving Program Manager for his "judicious use of grant overtime in actually making impaired driving arrests (6 arrests in 28 hours), which exceeds many officers' productivity in parts of the state with substantially higher populations and places to consume alcohol before driving."

We will be honoring him at the July 11 city council meeting.

--------------------------------------I learned this week that Lord Bennetts restaurant, including the building and the land, are for sale. The popular restaurant, owned by Rich Iverson, has

been listed with Dan Cirigliano for $2.2 million. It is next to Sunset Motel and has gorgeous ocean views. When you consider that a home with river and Old Town views recently sold for $2,175,000, it probably won't be on the market for long.

Fred Gernandt told me this week that "housing is still very tight," indicating "that manufactured homes on city lots are now closing escrow between $380,000 and $410,000."

If you want to see what highend homes are selling for in this market, go to Realtor.com and you will find several with ocean views in the $1.6 million range.

--------------------------------------Lynn MacDonald Wright (daughter of Bandon's long-time police chief Big Mac) and her husband, Randy, five children and 12 grandchildren recently spent a week in Bandon. Lynn and Randy have moved back to Utah after living in Texas for several years for Randy's work.

Jetty when the remains of the small fishing boat washed up on the beach, and Randy took photos which he shared with me.

I then sent them to The World and the Sentinel to accompany the story I wrote about the heroic rescue of the four men

by Charter boat operator Wayne Butler, his crew and several of the 13 passengers on the charter.

It made the front page of both papers.

Stories like this bring back the sad memory of a boating accident in June of 1988 which took the lives of two prominent Bandon men, Walt Miller and George "Bud" Anthony, while two others on board the sports boat Nyna C, David Miller (Walt's nephew) and Walt Ashton (former fire chief), survived.

--------------------------------------The year 2022 has been a good year for Bandon High School, both academically and athletically. Last week, in both the World and the Sentinel, I wrote a separate article about the nearly $1.7 million in scholarships earned by the Class of 2022.

Lately, in sports, Hunter Angove earned first place in pole vault at the Nike Outdoor Nationals, Emerging Elite category, with a vault of 15'6".

In softball, Avery Pounder was named Pitcher of the Year, joining coaches Brandon Gallagher, Bandon, and Darren Thompson, Coquille, who were Coaches of the Year.

Avery was one of five players from Bandon on the first team, including first baseman Kadence Teel, infielders Carlee Freitag and Alexis Williams and outfielder Alyssa Duenas.

Coquille had one player on the first team, utility player Rory Inskeep.

In Sunset Conference baseball, Tiger pitcher Colton Siewell was conference Player of the Year from Bandon, which won the league title, joined by catcher Chris Butler, infielder Cooper Lang and outfielder Dylan Kamph. Coquille, which finished third to reach the playoffs for the first time in almost 40 years, placed pitcher Patrick Adams and utility player Dean Tucker on the first team.

decision for a woman."

Alycia Rose came to the protest with I Dissent.

She said her concern was the Supreme Court was stripping away many rights, not just the right to an abortion.

"We're here today to protest our human rights," she said. "It started our with the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, and it expanded quickly to all human rights. They want to take away gun rights from states, they want to end Miranda rights, they want to take away Native American rights to their land."

She said the protest was a way to make a difference, but she said she urges people to go even further.

"We need to write to all legislative figures," she said. "We need to contact the White House, we need to contact all legislators here in Oregon, but other states as well. There are Facebook pages to help."

Rose said she is planning to start a chapter of the National Organization of Woman for Southern Oregon to provide another resource.

Charlotte Hutt also joined the protest, saying human rights cannot be stripped away like they have been in recent weeks.

"I have children and grandchildren and they have families and they need to be able to live and not have undue burdens placed upon them," Hutt said. "I want them moms safe and healthy. Dobbs was wrongly decided. They misread the 14th Amendment. Alito ignored that abortion was common and was safe when the Constitution was written.

Their originalism is fake."

In fact, Hutt said, stripping abortion rights moves the U.S. back to its darkest days.

"At the time of the Constitution, the only women who didn't have the right to abortions were slaves," she said. "Free women owned their bodies. The court has decided wrongly. We need to get the truth out."

Hutt said human rights should never be stripped from people, warning it is a dangerous slope.

"I had rights that are being taken away," she said.

"I was young when I saw a 15-year-old being taken away in a straight jack. I saw girls bleeding in the bathroom. My mother, who was a staunch Republican, was a strong supporter of abortion rights."

Hutt said she has little confidence in the Supreme Court, so she urged lawmakers to take a stand.

"We need Congress to write some laws," she said.

"Something must be done."

Rose said protesters would continue to hit the streets as long as necessary to return rights to the people.

Festive event attracts hundreds to participate in SCA festivities

By DR. NANCY KELLER Guest Article

Unbeknownst to most people, a war broke out between the Kingdom of the West and the Kingdom of An Tir near Gold Beach. Like most wars, an inane reason was concocted for the war: Whose cake was better. But rather than blood and death, there was sweat, bruises and compliments amidst the clashing of weapons and shouts of war cries.

The event was held by the Society for Creative Anachronism, which is an educational nonprofit corporation, international living history group with the aim of studying and recreating Medieval cultures.

I infiltrated the war as a mundane. I paid my dues and the former princess of the Principality of the Summits took pity on me and loaned me some garb. The Lazy J Ranch near Gold Beach was filled with medieval tents. A multitude of colorful flags displaying coats of arms fluttered in the wind. The tents were not the easy-assembly polyester types but were canvas and poles. I was told how anyone arriving would be inundated with volunteers to help erect the complicated tents, even at 1 a.m.

People were garbed in medieval period clothing from many nationalities all over the world. Fortunately, thees and thous were not required. Everyone was friendly and loved answering my questions. After a brief walk through the hoards of tents, I made my way to the war

field and watched as warriors wandered over with wagons of armor and/or a squire carrying layers of armor and weapons.

Eventually 150 (my guess) warriors were girding their armor and practicing heavy weapons or rapier. Then they gathered in the makeshift castle outlined with hay bales and canvas walls.

After rules of engagement were discussed stressing safety, the battle began. Blunt bobbed arrows rained down and “dead” warriors, determined by an honor system, made their way to sit on hay bales outside the castle.

Eventually arrows ran out and there were heavy clashes as warriors with shields forced their way past lances and spears to do close combat. Between melees, fruit and beverages were handed out to both the dead and living warriors. There were lots of compliments shared as warriors discussed the tactics of how their

opponents successfully “killed” them.

As the castle the siege eventually ended. In the midst of imaginary carnage of the castle, a squire was knighted by the reigning King Sven Fallgr Gunnarsson and Queen Rauokinn Eyverska Starradottir of the Kingdom of An Tir. A steel sword was brought and fealty sworn. Per preference of the soon to be knight, he was knighted with his own sword, a ratan sword wrapped in yellow and blue duct tape, weathered and frayed from its use over the year.

At the Equestrian Field, warriors were learning how to do combat while on a horse. I could only imagine how hard it was to control a horse and a weapon.

Then armored foot soldier warriors helped desensitize horses to touching from shields and Please see WAR, Page B4

The Chamber Minute: Our board of directors The chamber is led by a Board of 21 Directors, chosen from its membership. Each year, in September, about 1/3 of them are up for election, for a new three year term. So what does a board member do?

Your chamber board determines policies and sets goals aimed at improving the well being of our community. They team with other directors in developing a program of work,

through the Chamber, that gives the community the greatest opportunity for growth and prosperity.

You must believe strongly in the problem solving powers that are created when people are mobilized for action.

Board members are doers, not just policy makers.

They lead by example.

They all serve on at least one of the Action Teams, like Tourism or Business

Development & Support , or Leadership Coos, or Transportation or the Legislative Action team, just to name a few. They encourage other members to actively participate as well.

They ensure the Team has clearly defined objectives to meet its responsibilities and challenges. They also have fun.

Your community has succeeded as a result of people working together.

Your Chamber of Commerce provides the perfect mechanism for continued community cooperation and success. As a director you have an opportunity—and an obligation—to move your Chamber and the community into an even more dynamic future.

So Chamber member, if this sounds like an exciting opportunity to you, throw your hat in the election ring. Give us a call and we

will line you up with the nominating committee as it puts together its slate of new directors, next month, for the September election.

Remember Our Business is Helping your Business.

And like us on Facebook.

War From B1

weapons and the noise of their armor. The rule is to never strike the horse. For jousting practice, warriors learned how to ride horses in full and very noisy armor. I cringed as one warrior fell off his horse in a loud clanging of a huge pile of metal hitting ground. He was back on his horse soon after. Eventually he was riding his horse, jousting with a lightweight javelin and hitting a small target painted with a red heart.

At the Town Square, I enjoyed a delectable steak and mushroom meat pie although I was tempted to try out the Scottish egg.

At the end of the day was court. It was formal and lengthy. I had learned through the day that kings/ queens/princes/princesses are awarded to winners and their consorts after winning battle tournaments. There are three elite orders: Knights--obviously masters of sword fighting, Pelican-- masters of service and Laurels--masters of arts and sciences. I found at court, the award ceremonies were lengthy worded scripts.

However, the garb and decor

Ornate costumes, old-fashioned gear and lots of fun were the norm when the Society for Creative Anachronism hosted an event in Gold Beach. were beautiful and seemed like a ornate movie set.

One recipient of an award came to the ceremony with an entourage dressed in green garb and she was carried on a palanquin.

The Society for Creative Anachronism was started in a backyard party of UC Berkeley medieval studies graduate and author Diana Paxson in 1966. There was a “Grand Tournament” of helmets,

fencing masks, some semblance of a costume (garb) and sparring with plywood swords, padded maces and fencing foils. It ended with a parade.

The SCA was perpetuated by many science fiction writers of the time like Marion Zimmer Bradley. Now, the SCA has expanded to many medieval arts with illuminated scrolls, tournaments, wars and ceremonies.

The “A & W” Anti versus West War is an annual event (except during the pandemic) but each shire and principality have regular meetings to explore medieval arts, battle and history. If interested start with the website: https://www.sca. org/ You can find meetings near you, using your zip code once you maneuver through the huge website. Or you can attend events like me, as an ordinary mundane.

At 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 21, the North Bend Public Library presents Mining the Cosmic Rubble: Hidden Gems from the Celestial Debris, a lecture by SWOCC astrophysicist Dr. Aaron Coyner.

NASA JPL Solar System Ambassador and Southwestern Oregon Community College physics professor, Dr. Aaron Coyner takes us on a journey to investigate our cosmic origins by studying smaller worlds like asteroids, comets, and meteors.

Dr. Coyner asks: “What do the remnants of our formation tell us about our past and possible future and about our planet?

And what can these cosmic wanderers provide our modern science today? Join us to explore and learn from the lesser-known roads in the solar system.”

This program is part of the NBPL summer reading program. Attendance at library programs earns points for those playing the summer reading game. More information about the summer reading game can be found on the library website and at northbend.beanstack.org.
