Shutter Creek pleads its case to governor Community leaders ask Brown to reconsider closure By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

With Shutter Creek Correctional Institution scheduled to permanently close in January 2022, community leaders were given one final chance to save the state prison. State Rep. Boomer Wright said he convinced Gov. Kate Brown to listen to the community before moving ahead with her proposal to shutter the facility outside Lakeside. On Wednesday, community leaders were given 30 minutes to make a presentation to Brown, a move Wright hopes will make

the governor reconsider her decision to close the facility. In her budget proposal for the 2021 legislative session, Brown proposed closing three state prisons – Shutter Creek, Warner Creek near Lakeview and Mill Creek Correctional Facility near Salem. But after meeting with the Lakeview community, Brown walked back plans to close Warner Creek. Wright said that gave him hope, so he approached the governor. “I spent about three weeks talking with representatives from Please see Shutter Creek, Page A2

Coos County Fair returns this month By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

After being forced to stop festivities in 2020, the Coos County Fair is coming back with a bang later this month. With a theme of "Concert Nights and Carnival Lights," the fair will open July 20 at the Coos

County Fairgrounds in Myrtle Point. The traditional 4-H livestock show will be back in full force, the carnival will be available to entertain children and adults and concerts are planned to rock long into the night throughout the fair. The fair began in 1912 and continues to provide the oppor-

tunity for youth to highlight their work in livestock, floral, land products, culinary, needlework, photography and arts and crafts. The fair also highlights agcriculture, crafts industry and businesses in the county. The grand marshals for 2021 fair and rodeo are Karl and Karen Jernstedt. The Jernstedts

have lived in Coos County for more than 30 years and have been active in the fair. Karl had volunteered at the livestock and horse check-in since 1990, while Karen is the beef leader in the Twin Oaks 4-H Club and the curator of the ever popular Coos

The city of North Bend will soon begin an archeological study at Ferry Road Park thanks to a grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. The $20,000 matching grant will allow the city to conduct a Heritage Management Plan for the park in an effort to identify areas that may be archeologically sensitive. The grant supports preserving historic resources listed in the National Register of Historic Places or significant work contributing to identifying, preserving and interpreting archaeological sites. The land the park sits on is owned by the city of North Bend, but it has ties to the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. The city has promised the tribes it will conduct the archeological study before any work is done at the park. When reviewing the city’s Preserving Oregon Grant application, the review committee expressed an understanding that there is a need to manage this archaeologically rich area and an appreciation for the level of engagement with the local tribes that will take place as part of the project. In addition, having a management plan for Ferry Road Park will inform and guide the city on future development and management activities in the park. The plan to do an archeological study and a new parks master plan was brought

the governor’s office after I heard Lakeview had the meeting with governor, and afterward she decided not to close the facility,” Wright said. Wright said during the meeting he and Sen. Dick Anderson were joined by staff at Shutter Creek, Coos County Commissioner Melissa Cribbins, Reedsport Mayor Linda McCollum, a local doctor, a fire prevention expert, representatives from local schools and the mayor and city manager in Lakeside. The goal was to showcase how vital Shutter Creek is to the local communities and urge the governor to give the minimum-security facility near North Bend a second chance. “I’m hopeful,” Wright said Tuesday. “I think once we give her the facts, which I’m not sure she had heard, she might reconsider. She’s amenable, so I’m hopeful.” Wright said his part of the presentation would be on the economy and the impact closing the prison would have. “Overall, for the two

counties, we’re looking at 130 impacted jobs to a tune of about $8.8 million,” Wright said. The jobs include 79 at Shutter Creek and another 51 directly linked to the facility. With only 30 minutes to make their pitch, those involved were working together to come up with a proper presentation. “We’re practicing tonight,” Wright said Tuesday. “We have had one session already. This is going to be very choreographed. We chatted with the people of Lakeview to see how they did it.” Shutter Creek is a unique facility in Oregon because it is designed to get inmates nearing the end of their sentence ready to be integrated back into the community. The facility offers education and job training so inmates can be released and quickly become productive members in their new communities. Wright said with the state flush with money, there should be no hurry to close Shutter Creek. “I think the consensus behind this has a lot to do with Measure 110,” he said. “However, with every new bill and law that’s

Recently, Coos Bay City Council President Philip Marler announced he will be stepping down from the Coos Bay Council in the coming weeks as he and his family will be moving later this summer. Marler was appointed to the council in November 2016 and re-elected in November 2018. He has lived in Coos Bay since 1992, and he has been a residential real estate appraiser in the area for over 20 years. Prior to his appointment to the council, he served on the Coos Bay Planning Commission, the Coos Bay Budget Committee and

the Coos Bay Streets Task Force. During his time in office, Marler has been steadfast in his efforts to improve the condition of our streets, the city’s wastewater infrastructure including the building of a new wastewater treatment plant in Empire along with the replacement of several pump stations. Most recently, he championed the quest to update the city’s streetlight inventory to LED technology. His last official meeting will be August 17.

DeFazio-authored INVEST in America Act passes House The INVEST in America Act, legislation authored by Transportation and Infrastructure Chair Peter DeFazio, on Thursday passed the House of Representatives by a bipartisan vote of 221-201. The INVEST in America Act is a $715 billion surface transportation reauthorization and water infrastructure bill, with more than $44 billion added during the amendment process to make even greater investments in infrastructure, including EV charging and passenger rail grant programs,

among other additions. This legislation lays the groundwork for President Biden’s vision on infrastructure and will create good-paying jobs, restore America’s competitiveness in the global economy, and tackle the climate crisis head on by rebuilding and reimagining infrastructure in the U.S. As chair, DeFazio pushed to include $3.67 billion over five years for Oregon from the Federal Aid Highways Programs, $8.4 million for Oregon transit and $20 million for transportation and

infrastructure projects in Southwest Oregon. “Oregonians are sick and tired of potholes, getting stuck in traffic, delayed buses and slow trains, lead-tainted pipes and sewers that back up — the result of decades of underinvestment in our infrastructure, our communities and our future,” DeFazio said. “The good news is that this is an American problem America can fix. By passing the INVEST in America Act today, the House took a bold and badly-needed step to build for the future, tackle the

existential threat of climate change by modernizing our transportation systems to cut carbon pollution and improve the lives of hundreds of millions of people. I’m proud to have been able to push for Oregon’s priorities in this bill, and I will waste no time getting to work with the Senate to deliver a transformational infrastructure package to the president’s desk.” In Oregon alone, the INVEST in America Act includes: • $108 million over five years for carbon pollution reduction;

up during a sometimes heated council meeting in June. During the meeting, Councilor Susanna Noordhoff asked the council to consider placing benches under the maple grove at the park. The plan for the benches was first brought up by longtime parks volunteer Jim Tofflemire, and Noordhoff felt the city should move forward with Tofflemire’s plan. “I can tell you, you have the most gorgeous canopy with sun filtering through, you have the bay,” Noordhoff said. “I do think it’s an

ideal location.” Tofflemire’s proposal is to use donations to pay to install a 30-foot by 30-foot concrete slab in the middle of the maple grove. Four benches would be installed on the slab, with four additional benches placed around the area. The proposal also included a trash can pad and signage. Tofflemire volunteered to build the benches himself. Noordhoff said she thought the proposal was ideal use of the park, adding Tofflemire had a letter of support from the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. “It’s somewhere removed from the wind,”

Noordhoff said. “I think he has certainly done enough work in the parks to warrant serious consideration. I support his proposal. I think this will really allow the areas of the park to be multi-purpose.” While Noordhoff was fully supportive of the plan, the majority of the council voted against it, with many saying the city needed the archeological study and master plan first. City Administrator David Milliron gave an impassioned plea to wait, saying the proposal is no longer supported by the Confederated Tribes. He explained the person who gave a letter in favor of the project no longer works for

the tribe. “The issue is much greater than that. I want to remind the governing body of one of your paramount council goals, which is tribal relations,” Milliron said. “This governing body has been sent a communication from the tribe and we have also received communication from the state historic preservation office that says there shall be no Earth disturbance until a study is done and a plan is in place. That’s why with disc golf, there was no land disturbance. “The overreaching concern is council relations with the tribe. We did meet with tribe about two weeks ago, and they were

concerned with it. They were concerned it was not a request from the city. We want to be very prudent and very respectful and continue the end goal and get the archeological study done and get that into the parks master plan.” While the council chose to wait on Tofflemire’s suggestion, the city has moved forward with the archeological study and an update to the city’s parks master plan. The grant will help defray the cost of developing the HMP, including conducting surveys, preparing contexts of archaeological sites and documenting archaeological resources at risk. Milliron said the

Ranked choice voting isn't the problem in New York City's mayoral election By Thomas L. Knapp Confusion reigns. More than a week after Democratic voters from New York City's five boroughs cast their primary ballots, we still don't know who those voters chose as their party's nominee for mayor. Seven days after the polls closed, the city's Board of Elections issued preliminary results, then quickly withdrew them, citing a discrepancy in which test ballots were counted along with real votes. Opponents of Ranked Choice Voting are having a public field day, declaring that the results - or, rather, lack of results - prove the method is defective. It's just too complicated, they claim, for the average voter to figure out. They're wrong. The New York City Board of Elections's apparent inability to quickly, competently and accurately count votes isn't an indictment of Ranked Choice Voting. It's an indictment of the New York City Board of Elections. What's going on here? What's the problem? One possible explanation is incompetence. Mike Ryan, the board's director, went on extended medical leave after his relationship with a voting machine vendor led to calls for a conflict of interest investigation. His absence left the board's operations in the hands of deputy executive director Dawn Sandow, who may be a token Republican appointee rather than a skilled administrator. An anonymous fellow GOP official tells the New York Post that Sandow "isn't very qualified to run a large agency." Another possibility is that this Ranked Choice Voting exercise isn't going very well because the powers that be in New York City politics don't WANT it to go very well. In a system where two parties continually dominate, and in a city where one of those parties enjoys a pretty firm stranglehold on power, RCV threatens to upset the (big) apple cart. It produces winners based on the broadest level of popular support rather than leaving voters with a binary choice between lesser evils. Party bosses hate that idea. It's

When the immortals die by that agent of chaos, wildfire. Individual trees don’t move - if conditions become unsuitable, they die, and dead trees are fuel. In 2017, the Railroad Fire burned over 12,000 acres in the Sierra National Forest. In 2018, this was followed by the 96,000-acre Ferguson Fire. In 2020, the Creek Fire burned a staggering 375,000 acres in that national forest. And just south of the Sierra National Forest, 2020’s Castle Fire burned almost 175,00 acres in the Sequoia National Forest and Giant Sequoia National Monument. Fueled by huge numbers of beetle-killed dead trees, these mega-fires consumed normally fire-resistant mature pines and giant sequoias, and of course all the seedlings of oaks, incense cedar and other plants beginning to establish a new forest. Unfortunately, the situation in the Sierra National Forest is not unusual. California (and the West) is burning everywhere. Seventeen of the 20 largest wildfires ever recorded in California have occurred since 2003, and five of the six very largest all happened last year. Repeated intense wildfires destroy the seedbank of trees, and leave behind not a more adaptable forest but a coarse scabland of weeds and invasive grasses. I know many federal

and private land managers. They are well aware of the implications of climate change, and are doing their best to reduce fuel loads and to help plant communities transition to the new conditions. So were the managers of the Sierra National Forest. But in the face of relentless warming and drought it made little difference. Humanity and everything living has hit a hard reboot. The planet is resilient, and life will eventually stabilize, but that may take centuries. In the meantime, is there anything can we do? First, of course, we must drastically cut CO² and methane emissions, to avoid the worst climate change scenarios. Next, we need to preserve linkages, to give plants and animals escape routes as they seek the conditions they need. Finally, we may need to take an active hand, moving key species to new areas as their former habitat is lost. I have my doubts that we possess the ecological wisdom required, but for some species it may be their only hope.

Coastal conservation talk planned The Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. One of the anniversary activities is a series of online talks, relating to both the history and the future of the Oregon coast. The next event in this series, coming up at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 21, is a look back at the history of Oregon coastal conservation. Chuck Johnson, author of Standing at the Water’s Edge: Bob Straub’s Battle for the Soul of Oregon, will speak on: "The Roots of Oregon's Coastal Conservation Legacy: Opportunities Taken, Opportunities Missed." This virtual event is free and open to all.

Johnson will explore Oregon's heritage in preserving coastal environments, with a focus on what was considered and accomplished in the 1960s in the fight over access and control of Oregon's beaches and coastal landscape, and what was ignored or neglected - and the implications of these choices and decisions on today's efforts to conserve our coastal heritage. There will be a discussion afterwards. Charles K.

OBITUARIES Anne Mattingly July 1, 2021

In Memoriam. Anne Mattingly, resident of Bandon, Oregon, joined her husband, David Rabin, in death on July 1, 2021. Anne was a professional actress, writer, philanthropist and bibliophile. She married David and relocated to Bandon in 1999, where the two became active members of the community. Anne was a talented

actress, lending her gifts to performing, directing, producing and writing for the Bandon Playhouse. She was a long time member of the Bandon writers' group. Anne was a philanthropist, She donated to multiple charities, even when resources were tight, preferring to "lighten the burden of another" (Dickens) rather than indulge herself. She was private, introspective, and an avid reader. She appeared on Jeopardy, was a member of MENSA and belonged to the Screen Actors Guild. Anne never returned a library book late, she never missed a pun. She never made a promise she wouldn't keep, and she certainly never "suffered fools gladly."

Anne was courageous, witty and the most empathetic person I ever knew. She was my sister. Prepared for death (as she was for everything) she left the following in a file labeled "When I die." "Just know I am ready. Love you. Bye, DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP, I AM NOT THERE I DO NOT SLEEP. I AM A THOUSAND WINDS THAT BLOW I AM THE DIAMOND GLINT OF SNOW I AM THE SUN ON RIPENING GRAIN I AM THE GENTLE AUTUMN RAIN DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND CRY I AM NOT THERE, I DID NOT DIE. BY MARY ELIZABETH FRYE"

Oregon State graduate student sheds light on better way to study reputedly secretive toad By Steve Lundeberg Guest Article

Research by a graduate student in Oregon State University’s College of Science has upended the conventional wisdom that for a century has incorrectly guided the study of a toad listed as endangered in part of its range. Anne Devan-Song used spotlighting – shining a light in a dark spot and looking for eye reflections – to find large numbers of the eastern spadefoot toad. The study illustrates how confirmation bias – a tendency to interpret new information as ratification of existing theories – can hamper discovery and the development of better ones. Her findings, which show that the toad spends much more time above ground than commonly believed, were published in the Journal of Herpetology. Known for bright yellow eyes with elliptical pupils and, as the name suggests, a spade on each hind foot, the eastern spadefoot toad ranges from the southeast corner of the United States up the Atlantic Coast to New England. Known scientifically as Scaphiopus holbrooki, it is a species of conservation concern in the northern reaches of its territory. Devan-Song, a Ph.D. student in integrative biology, grew up in Singapore, where she learned she could search for reptiles and amphibians by spotlighting. In Rhode Island, where she earned a master’s degree and then worked as a university research associate, the eastern spadefoot toad is endangered. One rainless night while surveying for amphibians during a project in Virginia, Devan-Song’s spotlight detected one eastern spadefoot after another. That surprised her because the toads were thought to be detectable only on a few rainy nights every year, when they emerge from underground burrows to mate in wetlands. She continued looking for eastern spadefoots and kept finding them on dry nights, including in upland forest locales not close to any damp areas.

Spadefoots remain still when spotlighted so it was easy for Devan-Song to approach the eye-shines and positively identify the toads. “They need to get above ground to hunt for insects and build up energy stores for mating,” she said. “That’s why we were finding them when and where conventional wisdom said we weren’t supposed to be finding them.” Back in Rhode Island, she tried spotlighting for spadefoots; it took her just 15 minutes to find one. The success led to a 10-night survey in a pair of locations last summer that produced 42 sightings – nearly double the number of eastern spadefoot toad sightings in Rhode Island over the previous seven decades. Devan-Song also learned that she wasn’t the first to question the notion that the eastern spadefoot was so “secretive” as to almost always avoid detection. As far back as 1944, DevanSong said, it was suggested in scientific literature that the toad could be found

outside of rain-induced migration and breeding aggregations. And in 1955, researchers used spotlighting to detect huge numbers of eastern spadefoots in Florida; the technique subsequently, inexplicably, fell away and was no longer used. “Confirmation bias perpetuated the fallacy of when the eastern spadefoot could be found,” DevanSong said. “No breeding events or migration occurred during our surveys and we detected thousands of toads in Virginia and dozens in Rhode Island. The majority of those were subadults, a demographic category mainly overlooked in the literature. Progress in learning about the toad, its ecology and its conservation has been greatly hindered by a misconception that persisted even when evidence to the contrary was presented.” The ease with which many toads could be found during breeding, combined with a lack of data on toads in upland habitats, helped fuel confirmation bias in this case, she said.

DEAR ABBY: I am afraid for my daughter. She has been married less than a year to a very controlling man. He doesn't ASK her to do anything, he DEMANDS that she do what he wants. She cannot go out to eat or to a movie or anyplace like that unless he is with her. She works a 40-hour-a-week job, and in addition she must do all the work inside the house plus mow the lawn while he plays games on his computer. Don't you have a list of things to look for to tell someone when it is time to get out while the getting is good? -- VERY WORRIED MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: I certainly do, and you have a right to be worried. It has been a while since I shared this important information about abusive behaviors. Read on: (1) PUSHES FOR QUICK INVOLVEMENT: Comes on strong, claiming, "I've never felt loved like this by anyone." An abuser pressures the new partner for an exclusive commitment almost immediately. (2) JEALOUS: Excessively possessive; calls constantly or visits unexpectedly; prevents you from going to work because "you might meet someone"; checks the mileage on your car. (3) CONTROLLING: If you are late, interrogates you intensively about whom you talked to and where you were; keeps all the money; insists you ask permission to go anywhere or do anything. (4) UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS: Expects you to be the perfect mate and meet his or her every need. (5) ISOLATION: Tries to isolate you from family and friends; accuses people who are your supporters of "causing trouble." The abuser may deprive you of a phone or car, or try to prevent you from holding a job. (6) BLAMES OTHERS FOR PROBLEMS OR MISTAKES: It's always someone else's fault if something goes wrong.

Christopher “Chris” Allen Stevens, 62, of Coos Bay- A memorial service will be held at 5 pm, Sunday, July 11, 2021 at the Coach House Restaurant, 604 6th Avenue in Coos Bay with Pastor Dale Herring of Life Change Church in Coos Bay, officiating. Private cremation was held at Ocean View Memory Gardens in Coos Bay. Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131 www.coosbayareafunerals. com A funeral service for Carolyn J.

(7) MAKES OTHERS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER FEELINGS: The abuser says, "You make me angry" instead of "I am angry," or says, "You're hurting me by not doing what I tell you." (8) HYPERSENSITIVITY: Is easily insulted, claiming hurt feelings when he or she is really mad. Rants about the injustice of things that are just a part of life. (9) CRUELTY TO ANIMALS OR CHILDREN: Kills or punishes animals brutally. Also may expect children to do things that are far beyond their ability (whips a 3-year-old for wetting a diaper) or may tease them until they cry. Sixty-five percent of abusers who beat their partners will also abuse children. (10) "PLAYFUL" USE OF FORCE DURING SEX: Enjoys throwing you down or holding you down against your will during sex; finds the idea of rape exciting. (11) VERBAL ABUSE: Constantly criticizes or says blatantly cruel things; degrades, curses, calls you ugly names. This may also involve sleep deprivation or waking you with relentless verbal abuse. (12) RIGID EXPECTATIONS: Demands that you serve, obey and remain at home. (13) SUDDEN MOOD SWINGS: Switches from sweet to violent in minutes. (14) PAST BATTERING: Admits to hitting a mate in the past, but says the person "made" him (or her) do it. (15) THREATS OF VIOLENCE: Says things like, "I'll break your neck" or "I'll kill you," and then dismisses them with, "Everybody talks that way," or "I didn't really mean it." Readers, ANYONE at risk of spousal or partner abuse should contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or thehotline.org.

Cranberry royalty celebrates Independence Day Nohemi Fernandez was one of two students who were awarded the Jim Seeley Memorial Scholarship.

Wild Rivers Coast Alliance, Bandon Dunes announce scholarship winners Wild Rivers Coast Alliance, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort and Brookings-Harbor High School are pleased to announce that Brookings-Harbor High School Class of 2021 seniors Nohemi Fernandez and Aaron Parkinson are recipients of the Jim Seeley Memorial Scholarship. The Jim Seeley Memorial Scholarship was created to honor the longtime WRCA Executive Director in his role of bridging community needs with leadership and grant assistance. Each scholarship given is a four-year renewable full-tuition scholarship worth $80,000. Recipients of this scholarship have shown outstanding character, high academic achievement, and demonstrate collaboration with others throughout their high school years. The annual scholarship is awarded to one male and one female high school student in the WRCA service area, which includes high schools in Brookings-Harbor, Gold Beach, Port Orford-Langlois, Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point and Powers. This is the second year awarded, and the first time Brookings-Harbor students have received the award. Both students graduated on Saturday, June 5, with the news of this major scholarship coming in the days after graduation via Zoom video calls with the representatives of Bandon Dunes, WRCA and the Oregon Community Foundation on the call to announce the amount of the award and share the story of Jim

Seeley. Aaron was notified on June 8, and Nohemi on Monday, June 28. During Nohemi’s call, Bandon Dunes Golf Resort General Manager Don Crowe shared how the Keiser family, owners of the internationally famous resort near Bandon, wanted to honor Jim Seeley after his death in 2020 and set up this scholarship fund for students with financial need. Crowe praised Nohemi for outstanding character and collaborative leadership and for taking challenging classwork in high school, being active in student government, soccer and tutoring her peers. “I have to admit, I was not expecting to hear this news,” Nohemi reflected after logging off the call. “I knew that all of my hard work throughout high school would pay off eventually, however, I never imagined that it would be through a full-ride scholarship and I could not be more grateful for this opportunity. This scholarship means a huge deal to me as well as it does to my family. It is a financial relief that has turned my dreams into goals.” Nohemi plans to attend the University of Oregon in the fall and major in Clinical Psychology with hopes of attaining her Doctorate of Medicine and becoming a bilingual psychiatrist. Aaron plans to attend Oregon State University and major in Engineering Technology with hopes to make his mark on the electric automotive industry in the future.

The Bandon Cranberry Festival made a big impression on Independence Day celebrations in Bandon as Cranberry Queen Elli Schulz, above, and Cranberry Princess MacKenzie Williams, left, rode in the July Fourth Parade. Like the July Fourth festivities, the Cranberry Festival is expected to return in September.

The World

AS I SEE IT By Mary Schamehorn After hearing recently that Mike Keiser, owner of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, had purchased the former Lake Bradley Christian Camp for staff housing, it brought back a lot of memories about the place I remember fondly as Tanglewood. It also reminded me of other entertainment "hot spots" that we have lost over the years including, of course, the Wecoma Baths and the Silver Spray Gardens dance hall. The first picture I am sharing is of Tanglewood, taken from the west bank of Bradley Lake looking north. The long building with all the windows was the original dance hall and skating rink, which I want to talk about today. The big headline in the Feb. 16, 1950, Western World reads: "New Dancing Club, New Building Make Joint Debut in Gala Event." This was essentially the unveiling of Tanglewood, built by Leona Koff. "Over 400 members and out-of-town guests of the newly-organized Surf club enthusiastically inaugurated a huge new dance hall-skating rink four miles south of Bandon Saturday evening in one of the most impressive social events held in the community in many years. "The 190 by 80 skating rink-dance hall is the largest portion of Tanglewood resort to take shape under the able and close supervision of Mrs. Leona Koff, owner and developer of the new resort at Bradley Lake, a half mile west of the Beach Loop-Highway 101 junction. "The building is not yet completed, with a maple floor still to be laid, so the dance was held on the sub-floor. The interior is being finished with knotty cedar and acoustical tile. The roof is of the self-supporting truss type, leaving the spacious floor, free of obstructing pillars. "There is an apartment upstairs. A bowling alley with six lanes and a small restaurant are also planned for the building. "Mrs. Koff has announced that she awarded a contract .... to build a swimming pool near the dance hall-rink. The pool is to be 65x110 feet, with construction to begin in April. "In addition to dance music by Bum Gartin's orchestra, the group was entertained with specialty dances by Joan Carvall of Coos Bay. One hundred small tables with about 400 chairs were scattered about the west end of the hall. Couples in charge of the dance were the Harlow Calls, J.H. Fasnachts, McK. Fogles, Carl Lorenzes, F.T. Moores, G. Neideighs, Hugh Stevensons, Piercy Sweets and the L.E. Wrights." In late 1957, Tanglewood was sold to Wm. Laakaniemi and a man named Meadors. Although the swimming pool was never built, as late as 1959, the skating rink was still open, and dances and banquets were routinely held out there. Tanglewood Manor, a home for retired people, also flourished. In 1962, the complex was purchased by Col. Homer B. Millard and became Millard School. Col. Millard died a few months after the purchase, and it was operated by his widow, Esther, for a few more years. Later, it was purchased by the Applegate Christian Fellowship, who sold to Bandon Dunes. The second photo, which was another great entertainment spot, was Fraser's lounge, which opened in the spring of 1978, and was regarded as one of the most attractively decorated places in the area. The new lounge, which was added onto the former Gerry's Restaurant and re-

Life of Tanglewood named Fraser's, featured a sunken fireplace with lighted bubbling water, as well as seating for nearly 100 people and a dance floor. Seated around the fireplace in the picture are Jerene Fraser Shaffar, Vicki Fraser and Tom Lakey. The business, which included the lounge, dinging room and ice cream parlor, was owned by Trudy and Gerry Fraser and their four children, including Greg, who managed the restaurant, Pat, who managed the lounge, Tom who was in charge of the daytime cooks, and Jerene, who worked in the dining room. Today it is the home of the Asian Garden bar. The third picture, taken in January of 1956, features the old R.V. Leep Memorial Hospital Association board of directors, who had turned over all real and personal property to the new Southern Coos General Hospital District. The Leep Memorial Hospital officially closed Sept. 1, 1955, and Bandon was without a hospital until the new Southern Coos General Hospital opened overlooking the river and the lighthouse in 1960. Pictured are O.S. Valentine, Howard Kehl, Clyde Stearns (my uncle), Jesse Tucker and Carl Lorenz. Lorenz continued on as chairman of the new Southern Coos Hospital board. The old hospital building on First Street was rented to Bandon Veneer & Plywood for office space, with a rent of $50 per month. It was finally torn down in 1980 after falling into extreme disrepair. *

I was sorry to learn that John Sample, a long-time resident of Bandon, died Sunday morning. John and my ex-husband Ron Schamehorn were good friends and they spent a lot of time together while not out on the ocean commercial fishing. My heart goes out to his wife, Dee, and his daughter, Barbie Banister. *

There's good news on the Cranberry Festival front. After 30 people showed up for the volunteer meeting the other night, and another 10 or 15 who weren't there also said they would help, chamber executive director Margaret Pounder and festival chair Anthony Zunino said there will definitely be a festival this year. It's slated for Sept. 10-12. *

There are several upcoming memorials and celebrations of life for locals, including this Saturday, July 10, at 1 p.m. at the VFW Hall for George Trott. The following Saturday, July 17, a Celebration of Life will be held at 2 p.m. for Jack McMahon, also at the VFW Hall. On Saturday, July 31, a memorial service will be

I saw some good news on the front page of last Tuesday's World quoting Sheriff Craig Zanni as saying that all 96 beds in the Coos County jail will be open to full capacity. This has been good news as too often, people have been released without serving jail time ... only to become repeat offenders. This has been particularly noticeable in the Empire/ Charleston area. Sheriff Zanni said while things will be returning to normal, people brought in for lesser offenses may be booked but not necessarily held in jail. He said "it's been that way for years." *

The rainfall for the month of June in the Bandon area was 2.65 inches, compared to 1.53 last year and .36 the previous year. June rainfall in the last 17

years has ranged from a high of 5.15 inches in 2010 to the low of .36 in 2019. Heavy mist during the nighttime hours in recent days has also kept down our fire danger, but it's fire season and open burning is not allowed. *

I was surprised to learn that several women who

were visiting the museum Sunday did not know about Oregon's "groundbreaking" law decriminalizing personal drug use which is now in effect ... and has been since Feb. 1 when people caught by police officers with small quantities of substances like meth, heroin and cocaine will receive a maximum $100 fine, much like a traffic ticket. The measure was on

the November ballot and passed with 58.5 percent approval. Oregon also made history by legalizing "magic" mushrooms, and by becoming the first state in the nation to decriminalize user grade amounts of meth and heroin. Encouraging the use of hard drugs in any amount seems to be counterproductive... and dangerous.

The World

This week in Coos County history: July 7-10 100 YEARS — 1921 Late rains keep forest fire free Chief Warren Thomas says weather has favored them Will build fine trail around headwaters of Coos river — new wireless Owing to recent rains, the forests west of the Coast range are fire free and so moist that it will take quite a spell of dry, warm weather to make the ordinary hazard, according to Chief Fire Warden Thomas who came in from Tioga to spend the Fourth. Mr. Thomas has just concluded a trip with P.S. King, state inspector, over the trail around the headwaters of Coos river which Mr. Thomas has started to open up. Mr. King declared the trail would be worth $10,000 as a forest fire fighting asset. It will run from the Burn Mountain lookout around the headwaters to near Tioga country. The new wireless receiving station at Johnson Mountain is a big aid, picking up reports from the observers on the U.S. airplanes who are covering the whole district. Operator Ledgerwood of Myrtle Point is at this station.

$50,000 loss in mill fire at Reedsport Plant of Reedsport Planing Mill Company destroyed — burned to ground last evening City was threatened with being wiped out Lack of wind, water supply and desperate fighting on part of citizens saves place Insurance is only $11,000 Already plans are being talked of rebuilding — company was operating and had orders enough to run for year REEDSPORT — Fifty thousand dollars loss was caused by the destruction of the plant of the Reedsport Planing Mill Co. by fire last night. For a time the entire industrial section of the city was in danger of being wiped out. Although other structures caught fire the flames were contained to the one plant. Make great fight The mill district was saved only by the most desperate fight on the part of men of the city, the new water supply and the fact that there was no wind. Had a wind come up nothing could have saved the other mills and the business section of the city. Without a breath of wind the flames and sparks went straight up but the heat was intense and other buildings took fire but were finally saved. The chief stockholders of the company are H.C. Morris, who was manager, Warren P. Reed and C. McC. Johnson. The fifty thousand dollar loss to build and contents was covered by only $11,000 insurance. Blow to the city The burning of the planning mill was a severe blow to the city. The plant was started last year but only recently has been in full operation. Twenty-five men were employed and it was planned to increase the force. Additional machinery had been ordered. Sunday a carload of doors had been shipped out and the force was working on two more carloads which were to be finished by July 15. The company had an order for 60 carloads of garage doors and had orders sufficient to insure the operation of the plant for the next year. May rebuild Just what could be done in the way of rebuilding was not known today but there was an inclination on the part of local business men to aid in any plan which might make it possible for the company to start again and it was not unlikely that a local stock company will be formed to help the owners rebuild.

Chautaqua at North Bend open First entertainment given yesterday afternoon Attendance is good and undertaking promises to be a financial success The Chautauqua at North Bend opened with a concert by the Liberty Belles of Boston which pleased the audience. There was a good attendance and it is expected that there will be a large patronage throughout the course of the entertainments. The sale of tickets has not yet been checked up so it cannot be told just how the guarantors stand, but the Chautaqua promises to be a financial success and the entertainments so far have pleased.

Ku Klux Klan may work here Organization being formed in state it is said Portland paper states that branches are being established in different localities This locality is supposed to be one in which the Ku Klux Klan is being organized. It is stated that more than 1000 members have been signed in Portland and that the organization is working throughout the state to secure members. As it is a secret organization and works under cover, even in securing members, just what is being done cannot be learned and naturally any efforts being made here would not come to light if the organizers could prevent it. The movement is one which has been going on in different parts of the country and is a revival of the old Ku Kluxx Klan which operated in the

south many years ago. The members wore white robes, caps and masks, and weird and terrible are the tales one’s grandmother will tell of those days. While the purposes of the organization were held to be the most noble, many crimes were committed under cover of white caps and many personal revenges were carried out. It was never possible to tell whether the masked men were real members of the organization or those using the disguise to carry out wicked intents. Tells of efforts The Portland Telegram tells of the efforts to organize in Oregon and in this connection says: “It is expected there will be 5000 clansmen in Portland within sixty days, according to the present indications. “Other Oregon towns have been invaded by clan organizers and enough members obtained to perfect clan chapters and apply for national charters. “At the same time announcement is made the thirty-nine states now have clan organizations. “Fear that the new clan organization may send its white-robed figures to tar and feather, or to horsewhip, are branded as without foundation by those fostering the movement, who assert that the clan first of all stands for law and order and legal processes of sheriff, police and courts. “Wild, weird crimes so often charged against the organization in other parts of the country are the work of lawless individuals who mask as clansmen without right, according to Portlanders close to the movement.”

May not rebuild at Shore Acres L.J. Simpson says no reconstruction now Hard luck has unsettled him — did not even save picture of his wife L.J. Simpson who was up from Shore Acres today said that the reconstruction of Shore Acres, his beautiful home which was destroyed by fire last Saturday night, is dubious. He said that reconstruction is not possible immediately and he is dubious as to whether it will be rebuilt. Mr. Simpson is still suffering from the blow and says that he has had more than his share of hard luck. He is particularly grieved over the loss of all the personal belongings of himself and his late wife, not saving even a picture of Mrs. Simpson. Mr. Simpson is being urged on all sides to replace the wonderful show place which he and Mrs. Simpson so graciously shared with all Coos Bay and the noted visitors. It is also rumored that outside parties have been figuring with him on the construction of a magnificent summer hotel. He had this in mind for his Sunset Bay property but it is possible that the destruction of his home and the loss of Mrs. Simpson may result in his consideration of using the former home site for the later purpose. Mr. Simpson’s car was slightly charred by the fire, the side curtain glasses being melted by the heat before they were able to push it to safety.

50 YEARS — 1971 ‘Upswing’ offsets layoffs Labor disputes curtailed employment in Southwestern Oregon during June, according to the Coos Bay State Employment office manager, Edward J. Konka. Konka said the seasonal upswing in employment partly offset permanent layoffs in the lumber industry and shutdown in pulp production and there were other bright spots in seafood processing, where work was “fairly stable,” and in retail trades. Real estate sales were “excellent.” Labor disputes were among wood crews, carpenters and longshoremen, the employment service manager said. Employment and business conditions continued to improve during the month in retail trade. Businessmen said various soft and hard goods moved well throughout the month. It was believed that labor negotiations could affect retail trade business if they are prolonged, but an early settlement would contribute to further upward movement. Salmon, shrimp, bottom and river fish were processed by the seafoods industry throughout June, according to Konka.

Reedsport mill faces interruption REEDSPORT — The Reedsport Mill Co., sawmill operation at Reedsport faces a possible interruption of operations because of the maritime transportation tieup, a company spokesman said Thursday. “We depend on water shipping — about 60 per cent of our production goes to Los Angeles by barge or ship transportation.” He said that railroad cars are not available and that trucking of any significant amount of the lumber would be too costly to consider. “We have right now about 3 ½ million board feet of lumber stock piled at the mill yard and on the dock and dock yard at Bolen Island,” the spokesman said. Bolen Island in the Umpqua River is the site of the barge loading operations. The sawmill and chipping operations, a traditional plant located on the Scholfield River at Reedsport, employs about 60 men

on one shift, five day week, and produces about 2 ½ million board feet of finished lumber per month. The Watson Logging Co., associated with the Reedsport Mill Co., employs about 40 men and would also be affected by a continued interruption of shipping. The company spokesman said that some lumber has been trucked by the purchaser in San Francisco, Rolando Lumber Co.

1971 Coos County Fair Queen

20 YEARS — 2001 Peterson is medalist at amateur Golf: Former Bulldog shoots a 69 to grab the top spot in championship flight Former North Bend High School standout Alden Peterson shot a 69 to earn medalist honors at the Southwestern Oregon Amateur on Thursday at Coos Country Club. Peterson’s round of 1-under par was two shots better than Bruce Parry and Wes St. Clair, who earned the second and third spots in the championship flight. Peterson was one of North Bend’s top golfers before graduating last year. Two-time defending champion Carl Johnson shot an 80 and also is in the top flight. The best round of the day was actually turned in by the medalist for the senior flight, Ken Forster, who shot a 68. Ron Brogan, the defending senior champion, did not go through qualifying and will be the top seed in the 16-person flight, with Forster the second seed. Other South Coast players in the championship flight include Josh Lewis, Jason Snelgrove, Kent Kristensen, Kyle Johnson, George Montgomery and John Qualman. Both Lewis and Johnson were South Coast standouts who graduated from high school this year — Lewis from Marshfield and Johnson from North Bend. Johnson, the Midwestern League champion this year, was in a group of three players tied for fourth with rounds of 75. The other two were Cleve Lund an Troy Laurilla.

Olympian, world champion visits Coos Bay for four days Judo: More than 25 from the Northwest, including eight from local club, treated to Jimmy Pedro Might as well learn from the best. That is what judo athletes and the Southwestern Oregon Community College judo program did for four days when Jimmy Pedro arrived in Coos Bay. Pedro came to Southwestern to teach the basics of judo, but also the moves and techniques that helped him become one of the world’s best at his weight. The 30-year-old won a world championship in 1999 and a bronze medal at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. He also competed in the 1992 (Barcelona, Spain) and 2000 Olympics (Sydney). Pedro was one win away from a bronze medal in Australia. He wasn’t in town to show off his medal, however. “Everybody here is very enthusiastic,” said Pedro, as he panned over the class size of around 30. “I try to teach them all the stuff I learned throughout my career that seemed to work for me. “Typcially at clinics you see very fancy moves that don’t ever work. What I try to teach them is real-life stuff that has proven successful.”

NB police arrest four in school vandalism The North Bend Police Department has charged four juveniles with burglary and criminal mischief in connection with the vandalism that occurred at Roosevelt Elementary School last month. Det. Brent Gaither said officers detained four juveniles, two boys and two girls between the ages of 10 and 16, earlier this week and the juveniles were referred to the Coos County Juvenile Department. The damage to the former school occurred sometime between June 15 and 19. Vandals were unable to enter the main school building, but gained access into the separate building that housed the gymnasium and classrooms. The vandals tossed hundreds of sheets of paper across the basement floor. Large patches of glitter and overturned gallon-sized paint cans littered the floor. They also used the paint to put handprints along the walls, along with writing profanity, racial slurs and the word “kill.” Police estimated damages at $7,500.

Bay Area chef adds culinary curriculum to college’s menu New program: Oregon Coast Culinary Arts Institute to open this fall in former steak house A North Bend building that has stood vacant for almost a decade has become the home of Southwestern Oregon Communi-

ty College’s Oregon Coast Culinary Arts Institute. Southwestern recently began leasing the building at 3491 Broadway, which formerly housed the KC Steakhouse, for $4,000 a month, said Mike Gaudette, dean of marketing, recruiting and college advancement. “This is a trial program and we’ll see how it goes,” Gaudette said. “The reality is this is the first year of the program and we are going to be testing the waters to see if we can successfully recruit students into a high quality culinary arts program.” When Southwestern agreed to lease the building, the college began the process of cleaning and repairing it for use this fall, he said. The culinary arts program will offer students from across the United States a chance to obtain one-year certificates in chef training or two-year associates in applied science in culinary arts management training. While the certificates prepare individuals for entry-level chef positions, the two-year degree offers students basic and advanced chef training as well as restaurant management skills. Local chef Robert Gregson, who has 40 years of experience and is a former instructor at the Indiana University at Pennsylvania’s culinary school, will serve as the institute’s chief executive chef. Southwestern already has 19 paid reservations for the program, Gaudette said.

College gets $1 million for Curry campus Southwestern Oregon Community College received a $1 million windfall to build a campus in Curry County from the state during the last few hours of the Legislature on Saturday. The funding for the project is from the Emergency Fund Reconciliation Bill, or House Bill 5014. Southwestern President Stephen Kridelbaugh said the college was able to secure the funding through the efforts of Sen. Ken Messerle, R-Coos Bay, and Rep. Wayne Krieger, R-Gold Beach. “Although the college has been working to obtain property for a campus in Brookings for the past five years, a campus with facilities was not in the realm of possibility due to a lack of money,” Kridelbaugh said in a press release. “Now the college and the citizens of Curry County can plan with certainty for a community college campus in Brookings,” he added. “We would not have this campus if the $1 million from the state had not been forthcoming. On behalf of the Board of Education and the future students that the Brookings campus will serve, thank you to our local representatives.” Curry County’s annexation into the Southwestern Oregon Community College District was approved by the county’s citizens in March 1995. These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.

John Gunther, The World

The football field at Vic Adams Field in North Bend is bare rock after workers removed the FieldTurf surface Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare the way for a new surface.

North Bend to get new turf field JOHN GUNTHER The World

NORTH BEND — When North Bend installed the turf surface in its football stadium, it came with a guarantee of eight years. The school got nearly twice that, but now the turf is being replaced. Workers removed the turf, which was installed in 2007, on Tuesday and Wednesday to make way for new turf to be installed in early August. “When it’s done it will look just about identical to our current field with the exception of it being level with the track,” North Bend athletic director Mike Forrester said. “And the fibers will be a newer product that should stand up instead of laying down after time better.” Forrester said the field probably had a lifespan of at least two more years, but that school district officials decided to replace it now for a couple of reasons. One was the difference between the level of the field and the concrete lip that separates it from the track. Over the years, the field has sunk so that now it is anywhere from half an inch to four inches below the concrete lip. “This will eliminate that safety concern,” Forrester said. The other big issue is one of drainage that has developed over the past two to three years.

A worker from Sportech rolls up a portion of the FieldTurf surface at Vic Adams Field so it can be removed this week. The surface was rolled up in more than 100 sections so it can be used for a local youth sports program. “When it rains hard, we get standing water from the track out to the numbers on the field which never happened when the field was new, so we will be adding a trench drain that will go around the field,” Forrester said. The drainage issue also has led to granules from the field, which provide cushion for the players, floating onto the track. In addition to football, the field is used for home matches for North Bend’s soccer teams, as well as for physical education classes for the high school and middle school. The process for replacing the turf comes in a few steps.

First, workers from Sportech, a McMinnville company that is a subcontractor for FieldTurf, removed the old turf Tuesday and Wednesday. They cut the turf into strips 7 ½ feet wide by 60 feet long and rolled them up so they could be removed from the site. Next up, the new drains will be installed and the surface re-graded so it is level with the track by Knife River. Finally, a crew with the company FieldTurf, which makes the surface, will install the new playing field, which should take two to three weeks and be completed before the first game of the season in late August.

The old turf will be kept in the community and used by a local youth sports program, Forrester said. The complete cost for the project is about $685,000 — $406,000 for the installation of the new turf and $279,000 for the work by Knife River, said Kevin Bogatin, North Bend School District Superintendent Kevin Bogatin said. Most of the money for the project was already budgeted, a bit at a time over the past 14 years. “Our district had the foresight to put money away each year so that we would be prepared when this day came,” Forrester said.

The South Coos Nooks kept their American Legion season and league records perfect by sweeping visiting Dr. Randall’s of Roseburg in a doubleheader at Marshfield High School on Tuesday. The Nooks won the opener 17-7 and the nightcap 8-6, scoring five runs in the bottom of the sixth to rally for the victory. South Coos appeared in trouble before the big inning, which started with a single by Dom Montiel and Cobin Bouska being hit by a pitch. Jonathan Calvert hit a two-run double and Colton Siewell followed with an RBI double. Siewell later scored on a passed ball and Joseph Herbert added a run by walking, stealing second and third and scoring on an error. Herbert also walked and scored in the third inning, when Daniel Cabrera and Luke Parry also walked, both coming home on errors. Calvert also picked up the win on the mound, pitching the final three innings and allowing one hit and one run while striking out four. He combined with starter Drake Rogers and Ryder Easton to strike out a total of 11 batters in the game. The Nooks had plenty of offense in the first game to roll to an easy win.

Catch up Getting a close look at marine mammals on the Sun this summer A Sunday Drive

Photos by David Rupkalvis/The World

Marine mammals can be seen throughout the region, but some of the best views are in Crescent City, Califonia. Above, California sea lions rest in the sun. Below, seals swim through the harbor when hunting for fish.

Seals, sea lions are around if you look enough By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Exploring the southern coast of Oregon and the northern coast of California allows those of us lucky enough to live here the opportunity to see some amazing things. We are fortunate to live in one of the most amazing places in the world, a place where Mother Nature makes every day look like a work of art. As my family and I drive around, it is still common to hear us oohing and awing just because of the scenery. Where else in the world can you see deep into the forest and be on the beach only minutes later? While I have written repeatedly about the amazing things we can see here, one thing I’ve seen a few times has left me in awe. As I’ve traveled the area, I feel fortunate that I’ve been able to see some amazing marine mammals. Seals, sea lions and more always make me stop every time I see one. Days after I moved to Oregon, I made a trip to Brookings and Crescent City, California with my boss. While showing me around Crescent City, we stopped at the harbor, and I heard the distinct sounds of sea lions. But despite looking for 10 minutes, I never saw one. That just made me determined to get closer to the marine mammals. After talking to some people at my office, I was told to go to the top of Cape Arago and look around. So, of course, I did. At the very top, if you park and go to the right, following the trails as far they go, the trail ends

Catching up this summer on what you missed last summer? Don’t forget a visit to the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum on Coos Bay’s historic waterfront. The Sun’s original — and now historic — printing presses and other fascinating equipment can be viewed up close as skilled volunteers interpret and demonstrate how they work. Printing museum volunteers also answer questions about the museum’s exhibits on printing and office technology, as well as on the life of the Sun’s founder, Jesse Luce. Combine a visit to the Marshfield Sun with a visit to the nearby Coos History Museum for a jam-packed afternoon of interesting local history. The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum is a unique printing museum located in that building at the north end of Front Street on Coos Bay’s historic waterfront. The unusually shaped building was built as the home for the Marshfield Sun newspaper and print shop in 1911. The Marshfield Sun was a working newspaper office and print shop from 1891 to 1944 — and is today essentially as it was left in 1944, with additional exhibits on the walls and upstairs. The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum’s regular summer hours begin the day after Memorial Day and go through Labor Day: 1 – 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. Admission is free. For information, visit https://marshfieldsunprintingmuseum.org

The Chamber Minute: Natural Resource Team We live in an area rich in natural resources with our forests, sand dunes and ocean. More than 85% of Coos County is forest land. So, it makes a lot of sense that your chamber would have a Natural Resources Team. Before the pandemic, our team held a joint monthly meeting with the Douglas Timber Operators. We look to again make that connection again as Oregon becomes truly open for business. Our session has an educational and action focus on current resource management plans and

issues. In the past couple years, we have dealt with the BLM Western Oregon resource management plan, a proposal from the Dunes National Recreation Area concerning off-highway route designations, several Elliot State Forest management issues and wildfire protection funding on a statewide basis, just to name a few. But we don’t only have a tree focus. The team supports the local STEP programs, especially the Coos Basin Salmon Derby, which takes place each September.

These programs not only provide hands-on fishery education for our students and increase fish stocks in the region, but also bring many tourism dollars to the area. We monitor the wind and wave energy projects proposed along the southern Oregon coast and the potential impact they can have on commercial and recreational fishing. The team supports the commercial fishery and its efforts to encourage state and federal agencies to actively manage the ocean stocks so we can maintain this historic and sustainable

industry. So, chamber member, if this sounds like something you want to be part of, when our regular meeting schedule begins again, give us a call and we will line you up to participate. Remember our business is helping your business. And like us on Facebook. (Timm Slater is executive director of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce.

Mammals From B1

overlooking some rocks in the ocean. The day I went up, the rocks were covered with seals and sea lions. I admit, I jumped the fence to get a closer look, and it was pretty amazing. While many of the animals were sunning on the rocks, there were many jumping in and out of the water. I stood there for 20 minutes, just watching and listening to the animals living their lives. But even then, the creatures were a long ways off. I could see them, I could hear them, but I didn’t get a close-up experience. A few weeks later, I was back in Crescent City, so I went back to the harbor and back on the hunt for the marine mammals. This time, I found them. At the edge of the harbor, the animals, mostly California sea lions, congregate on man-made rocks to sun. They could be seen clearly, but they were still a ways off. Since then, every time I go to Crescent City, I head back to the harbor, just in case. Persistence paid off two times. Once I went to the harbor and got out and started walking around. As I moved around the harbor, I noticed something was in the water, and it was something big. Before long, I learned what it was. Seals were swimming through the water around the boats in a

hunt for fish in the harbor. For close to an hour, I walked around watching as the seals, lots of seals, went up and down in the water. The only bad part is actually getting a good picture of the seals was difficult. I tried repeatedly, but it felt like every time I hit the button to snap a photo, the seals went down into the water. I tried to guess where they might come up and failed every time there, too. I was able to get some photos from the top of the harbor, but if the seals noticed I, or anyone else, was close by they quickly disappeared into the depths. I found out later, schools of fish swim into the harbor as a way of evading larger fish that are hunting. In doing so, they swam right into a trap, with the seals waiting to eat. It was quite an experience to be that close as seals gorged themselves. A little while later, I was back in Crescent City and I went back to where I first noticed the sea lions. This time I was in for quite the surprise. Whereas the sea lions had been out in the water before, this time they were sunning on a pier right on shore. I was able to get so close to the animals, I could even smell them. For the record, it is not a pleasant smell. But from that distance, I and others stood in awe watching creatures bigger than I am moving easily in and out of the water and scrambling quickly onto

Photos by David Rupkalvis/The World

Two seals make their way through the harbor in Crescent City while searching for food. Below, California sea lions bask in the sun. the pier. I enjoyed every minute of it, and sent dozens of photos to my wife. I can’t give you a specific spot to find marine mammals for certainty, but they are out there. Crescent City seems to have a steady dose, they can be seen and heard around Coos Bay, one time we even saw a bunch of seals sunning in Gold Beach. If you want to see marine mammals for yourself, just keep your eyes peeled when moving around the

ocean. One time I saw a whole herd sunning on the beach between Gold Beach and Port Orford. I would suggest listening, too. You often hear them before you can see them. If you’re lucky, you might even get close enough to smell them. We all know there are animals in the ocean that are bigger than we are. But seeing one is rare, with the exception of the sea lions that seem to enjoy showing off in close proximity.
