Homeless discussion gets serious in front of council BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Coos Bay City Council got an earful from a disgruntled resident who said the homeless problem is impacting almost every facet of his life. During public comment, James Johnson told the council he lives three blocks from what he called a "crack house," and the result of the drugs and homelessness is devastating to his life. "We've called the police multi-

ple times, we've met with Officer Babb, the resource officer," Johnson said. "We understand his hands are pretty tied. But we do have a house down there where there's a lot of traffic going in and out, there's a motor home parked on the side for about a week. These people chased my wife on a motorcycle. They're knocking on people's doors. We just want to know when something's gonna be done about it?" Johnson said the increase in the homeless population in Coos

Bay is not by accident. "Ya'll don't know about this. Somebody from Salem or Portland is bringing homeless people down to Captain's Cabin," Johnson said. "They've been dropping them off every week for some time. Curious as to why this council would allow this to happen. I work in a lumber yard. I have customers coming in buying windows, buying doors. A customer came in today. He had to run out in his shorts because a guy is kicking is his door and

an alarm's going off. Why is this happening?I pay $1,000 a month for my mortgage and a third of that is going for taxes. I want these people out of my neighborhood. This is wrong. If you guys don't understand, we can take them to your neighborhoods and you can see what it's like." Johnson said the homeless are easy to ﬁnd, and, frankly, he is fed up. "You got them outside here, outside your building right now," Johnson said. "But they are

coming up into our yards, into our houses, breaking in, and we can't do anything about it. If I do something about it, I'm gonna go to jail. They won't. I would like to hear somebody's answer on this. How come they're being allowed to come into this city from Portland or Salem? I'm just at a point, where I'm shaking. I'm very upset. Our houses are in jeopardy, our families are in jeopardy. A little 2-year-old boy Please see HOMELESS, Page A11

Despite wind, children learn basics of ﬁshing BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

After days of warm, still, clear weather, high winds and cooler temperatures hit the area Tuesday. But that didn't stop close to a dozen young children from venturing out to John Topits Park to learn how to fish. The Coos Bay Public Library partnered with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife to offer the opportunity for children to learn the basics of fishing from an expert. Morgan Davies, who works with the ODFW, brought dozens of fishing poles, a variety of bait

and a lifetime of knowledge to share with the children. "It's a little windy, so it might be hard to cast, but we will do our best," Davies told the children as the program began. He then explained step by step how to cast a pole, setting each child up with a pole rigged for ﬁshing. For the younger children, the setup was without a hook, instead having a rubber ﬁsh at the end. For those ready to try, a hook and bait was available. While the most of the children were excited to learn the basics, 14-year-old Jackson Daniels had another goal in mind. "I want to know how to catch

one," he said. "Patience is really hard for me." Jennifer Knight, the children's librarian with the Coos Bay Public Library, said the program is part of the library's Summer Reading Program. She said the theme for the summer is "Off the Beaten Path," which includes a variety of outdoor activities. Knight also said the library will soon be receiving a fishing pole to loan out to the people of Coos Bay. As she was helping children bait up, one young girl turned to Knight and said, "This is hard to fish." "It is hard to fish," Knight responded.

As the children cast into the open water, one girl wanted to be strategic, so she turned to Davies and asked where the best spot to find a fish was. He explained fish often try to hide to avoid birds and other predators. "When you're fishing, you want to look for place they can hide," Davies said. "It's going to be harder to cast there, but that's where you'll find fish." While few fish were actually seen Tuesday, the children dd get a lesson on enjoying the outdoors. And a few did make catches, although they hooked up with trees and rocks, rather than a wiggling trout.

Local brothers turn hot idea into coffee empire BY DANIEL GOUDELOCK Country Media

It has been 30 years since dairy farmers Dane and Travis Boersma started slinging coffee from their pop-up stand along the highway in Grants Pass, Oregon. Since the early 1990s, Dutch Bros Coffee has grown to more than 500 shops drive-through outlets in 14 states. Dutch Bros continues to make a splash in small and big communities while growing its next generation of workers and leaders. In 2004, Grants Pass native Tony Jantzer started working at a Dutch Bros in Woodland California. “Growing up and seeing what Travis and Dave did in the drive-thru coffee business was amazing, especially since a lot of people were skeptical of it because it was such a new concept,” Jantzer said. Jantzer knew once he started working there that becoming a franchise owner for Dutch Bros is what he wanted to do. After a few years of working to get the Please see DUTCH BROS, Page A2

Tina Kotek is trying to make political history – again. If elected in November, she will become America’s first lesbian governor, this, after becoming the nation’s first lesbian speaker of a state House of Representatives in 2013, a job she held longer than anyone in Oregon history. The 55-year-old Kotek also seeks to keep one of the country’s longest streaks by electing a Democrat to a state’s highest office. Not since incumbent Gov. Victor Atiyeh crushed Ted Kulongoski in a landslide 40 years ago has the Republican Party won the governorship in Oregon. That’s 10 gubernatorial elections ago. Utah is tied with the Beaver State, having also chosen a governor from the same party – albeit the GOP – since 1982. In an interview recently at a picnic table in northeast Portland’s Columbia Park, not far from the home she shares with her wife Aimee Kotek Wilson, Kotek said, “I am running because I want things to work in Oregon.” A public advocate for the Oregon Food Bank before being elected to the state House, Kotek went on, “None of us are outsiders. We’ve all worked for a longtime in Oregon politics, but the question is, ‘Who has style and the persistence to get things done?” She added: “Housing and homelessness are by far the biggest concerns Oregonians have,” and will likely be the driving force – particularly finding solutions to building affordable housing, as well s workforce housing in the heavy tourist-driven areas of the state – when the campaigns move into high gear after Labor Day. Kotek, gets high praise for her legislative know-how. Under her leadership, Democrats were able to pass a school funding increase they had been looking to do for 30 years. Born and raised in York, Pennsylvania, Kotek headed west in 1987, attending the University of Oregon, where she earned her degree in religious studies. Asked how being a lesbian might influence her governing if elected, Kotek said, “I know what it feels like to be left out, and I want to send a message to our young people that you can do anything. I want every child in this state to feel like they can celebrate their authentic selves.” Kotek realizes Portland and her deep ties to the embattled Please see GOVERNOR, Page A2

Governor From A1

city will be on the ballot. Recent polling for Oregon Public Broadcasting says less than 20 percent of voters think the state is headed in the right direction. Having left office in April to concentrate full-time on the governor’s race, Kotek knows she’ll face stiff headwinds in her quest to replace term-limited and hugely unpopular Kate Brown. In addition to a challenging national environment, Kotek is confronted by many voters, mainly rural ones, who pillorize her Portland home-base as a mismanaged eyesore. Worsening matters is independent Betsy Johnson’s credible candidacy, which has opened up a lane for Republican Christine Drazan to break the Democrat’s long hold on the governor’s office. A poll of likely Oregon voters conducted at the end of May showed Drazan in a virtual tie with Kotek – almost 30 percent for Drazan to nearly 28 percent for Kotek – with the unaffiliated Johnson drawing more than 19 percent support. Almost a quarter of Oregon voters remain undecided. “It’s the most interesting governor’s race in the country this year. You have three women representing the full ideological spectrum – Kotek, the progressive, Johnson, playing the middle, and Drazan, the conservative,” observed Marc Johnson, who, from his home on the north Oregon coast, writes an influential political and history blog entitled “Many Things Considered.” “Tina needs to be concerned about being labeled Kate Brown 2.0,” Johnson added. “Betsy’s problem is that she’s held elected office [since winning a seat in the state House in 2000], and until

six months ago, was a Democrat. And Drazan’s biggest problem is that if she comes off as too moderate, it will offend the Trumpian wing of the party.” Betsy Johnson has another problem, too – her hard line stance on guns. Unlike many of her former Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate, she has opposed most gun control measures in Oregon. In 2018, she received an A rating from the NRA. During an unannounced TEDxPortland interview with Johnson at the Moda Center on May 28 – four days after 18-year-old Salvador Ramos used an AR-15 riﬂe to kill 19 students and 2 teachers at an Uvalde, Texas elementary school -- the so-called political maverick was booed when she blamed the onslaught of mass shootings on a “shitty mental health care system.” At one point, Johnson said, “People in this country are going to have guns. The style of the gun doesn’t dictate the lethality.” One of her big lines is, ‘I believe in a woman’s right to choose and a right to bear arms,” said Steve Forrester, a longtime political observer and publisher of the Daily Astorian in Astoria, Oregon. Johnson was born in Bend and grew up in Redmond, Oregon, but has lived more than two decades in the Columbia County city of Scappoose (pop. 6,592), 22 miles southeast of Vancouver, Washington. “I worry about both of them (Johnson and Drazan),” said Kotek. “When it comes to climate change and guns, I have big differences. The number one job of being governor is to keep Oregonians safe.” The Oregon electorate, according to Salem-based pollster John Horvick is 35 percent Democrat,

25 percent Republican, and almost the remaining 40 percent are independent or unaffiliated. In handicapping the contest, pollster Horvick said Kotek is associated with the status quo, but held the Democratic base, garnering almost 58 percent of the Democratic vote in the primary over state Treasurer Tobias Read’s 32.4 percent, as of June 8. Drazan, meanwhile, collected just 23 percent of the GOP vote, though in an extremely crowded field. As for Betsy Johnson, who ran a helicopter company in Oregon for 20 years, Horvick mused, “Look at the website and you’ll find nothing from her on issues. She’s just the feisty lady on TV who is playing to the frustrated.” Christine Drazan is a former House minority leader and lives in Canby, Oregon, in Clackamas County, a bellwether county southeast of Portland. “She’s no RINO: Drazan is pro-life and opposed climate legislation. She also returned a level of savvy and fundraising skills to House Republicans,” wrote Willamette Week when it endorsed Kotek and Drazan for their respective party nominations. “Drazan faces criticism from the right for failing to obstruct every piece of legislation unpopular with conservatives that came before the House. Firearms activists, for instance, blame her for letting Democrats pass a pretty innocuous gun safety bill last year. “They wanted her to order her caucus to deny Democrats a quorum and are now blasting her for that. Drazan stuck around, perhaps because she knows walkouts are unpopular with the electorate.” The race for governor of Oregon could well be the most expensive one in the state’s history.

Tina Kotek, the Democrat candidate for governor, is facing a stiff challenge in a three-person race for the top elected position in the state. Betsy Johnson has already raised close to $9 million and has proven she can get big checks from major Republican donors, including Nike co-founder Phil Knight. She has about $5 million on hand. Drazan spent $2.7 million during the primary while Kotek spent $2.5 million. Said political blogger Marc Johnson: “I don’t see that any of the candidates are talking substance. They are still introducing themselves because none of them are well-known to most Oregonians.” In the endorsement front, Kotek managed to get the backing of Yamhill’s Nick Kristof, whose brief gubernatorial campaign was mainly spent railing against entrenched Oregon Democrats, like Tina Kotek. He endorsed her two days after she won her party’s nomination. Earlier this year, the well-

feeling right, Jantzer began working towards breaking ground on a site to open his own Dutch Bros in California. “I used to ride my bike up to the original drive through. Dane and Travis Boersma “would be jamming out coffees as well as the tunes.” Jantzer remembers that the brothers had a 100-disc changer system, a big deal in that time “That was a lot of CDs.” It wasn’t long before Jantzer received a call from the corporate ofﬁce to check out the Brookings Oregon, franchise. Jantzer and his girlfriend Natasha worked to get the feel for the shops and the area. “It seemed like it happened pretty quick,” Jantzer said.

known former New York Times columnist was considered a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination, but was forced out for failing to meet the state’s three-year residency requirement for governor. Betsy Johnson, meanwhile, is ringing up endorsements from the old guard. Two high-proﬁle endorsements came shortly after the primary when former Republican U.S. Senator Gordon Smith and former Democratic Governor Ted Kulongoski announced their support in a joint statement. Ahead of the primary, Kotek and Drazan each secured endorsements from a large number of current and former lawmakers as well as county and local ofﬁcials. It is anyone’s guess as to who will win in November. As Marc Johnson put it: “It’s a real crapshoot.”

In June 2009, at the age of 26, Jantzer assumed the ofﬁcial position of franchisee for the Harbor, Brookings and Crescent City locations. The Crescent City store is located at 560 L St., at the corner at 6th St. and Highway 101 south. Also in 2009, tragedy struck the Boersma family. Co-founder Dane Boersma passed away from ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Dutch Bros and the Boersma family started “Drink One for Dane” as a way to bring awareness and support for research to ﬁnd treatments and cures for the disease. To date, Dutch Bros customers have donated more than $10 million to Muscular Dystrophy Association Franchisee Jantzer states he stopped thinking that Dutch Bros was at a high, because the company

would keep growing in massive ways. “The coffee isn’t even the main business: we are in the business of people,” he said. “Anyone can open a coffee shop, but it’s the people that Dutch Bros have that create that unique experience” The “stigma” behind being a barista is that it is a transitional job, a position that you have until you ﬁnd a ‘grown up’ job. “This is a grown-up job,” Jantzer said. Dutch empowers the youth, growing leaders at just 19, 20 and 21 years old. “You don’t see many other places doing this.” According to Jantzer, Dutch Bros’ success is defined by the culture that is learned through training and working, which is then spread amongst the community and all new employees.

North Bay Fire receives $859,753 seismic rehabilitation grant The Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program is a state of Oregon competitive grant program that provides funding for the seismic rehabilitation and retrofitting of critical public buildings, particularly public schools, and emergency services facilities. Business Oregon has awarded 36 seismic rehabilitation grants for an overall 2022 award total of $80,851,799 in the eighth round of funding from the Seismic Rehabilitation Grant Program. These grants provide funding for improvements to make the buildings that communities depend on in the face of a seismic disaster stronger and safer. The require-

ment of emergency services building projects is immediate occupancy for continued operation of such facilities following a seismic event. This year’s grants bring the award total to 299 schools and 133 emergency services buildings that have been awarded funding for improvements since the program’s first awards in 2009. The program was created by the Oregon Legislature in 2005 and transferred to Business Oregon in 2014. North Bay Fire was awarded a grant in the amount of $859,753 which will seismically upgrade Station 1, located in the Glasgow District.

Entombed together: Rare fossil flower, OBITUARIES parasitic wasp make amber artwork Lydia Verches San Jose By STEVE LUNDEBERG

September 6, 1941 - July 8, 2022

Guest Article

Oregon State University (OSU) fossil research has revealed an exquisite merger of art and science: a long-stemmed flower of a newly described plant species encased in a 30-million-year-old tomb together with a parasitic wasp. “Based on interests, background and current environment, everybody has their own way of interpreting visual images in the natural world,” OSU College of Science's George Poinar Jr. said. “Thus, an organism can be described, given a scientific name and then stored away in a taxonomic hierarchy. The same organism can be regarded as an art object and even assigned to a particular art period.” The study by Poinar, published in Historical Biology, reports the first description of a fossil flower of the Euphorbiaceae family in amber, in this case amber from the Dominican Republic, home to some of the world’s clearest fossilized tree resin. Members of Euphorbiaceae, also known as the spurge family, grow worldwide, with 105 of its 300 genera, and 1,800 species, found in tropical regions of the Americas. “Fossil flowers of members of this family are quite rare,” Poinar said. “I could only find one previously known fossil, from sedimentary deposits in Tennessee.” Examples of members of this family include the rubber tree, the castor-oil plant and the poinsettia. Many members contain a milky latex while some species are useful as a source of oil or wax. Poinar, an international expert in using plant and animal life forms preserved in amber to learn about the biology and ecology of the distant past, named the new flower Plukenetia minima. It’s the first record of the genus Plukenetia on the island of Hispaniola, home to Haiti and the Dominican Republic, and also the first fossil record of the genus. Poinar said the mature female flower is noteworthy for its small size but lengthy stalk, which at the tip has four distinct capsules. The wasp, Hambletonia dominicana, was described by Poinar as a new species in a separate paper published in 2020 in Biosis: Biological Systems. It’s an encyrtid, a group of wasps known for attacking a wide range of insects. In the current study, the flower has already bloomed and contains four maturing

The ‘petite’ flower represents the Art Nouveau style that emphasizes elegant curves and long lines. seed pods or capsules. One of the pods contains a developing fly larva. “In many cases, unrelated organisms become entombed together in amber just by chance,” Poinar said. “But I feel that in this case, the wasp was attracted to the flower, either for obtaining nectar or in attempts to deposit an egg on the capsule that contains the fly larva.” The wasp egg would then hatch, enter the pod and devour the fly larva, Poinar said, enabling the wasp to survive in the ecological niche created by the vegetation and flower heads of Plukenetia. “Both of the fossils can be associated with two 20th-century art movements that appeared in fine art, design and architecture,” Poinar said. “The ‘petite’ flower represents the Art Nouveau style that emphasizes elegant curves and long lines. The ‘dancing’ wasp represents the Art Deco style that stresses sharp angles and decorative shapes.” Steve Lundeberg is a researcher and writer for Oregon State University Relations and Marketing.

Lydia peacefully began her journey to heaven on Friday, July 8, 2022, with her family by her side. Lydia was born in San Francisco, California to Delfino and Rosario San Jose. She was the third child of eight children. She attended Catholic school and Polytechnic High School in San Francisco. She married Patrick McGarity in 1960, and had three children. She was a stay at home mom until they divorced, and Lydia moved from California to Oregon, where she took various jobs to support her three children by herself. She took various classes at Southwestern Oregon Community College to expand her skillset. She worked at the Coquille Public Library. Although she only had a GED, she became a valued and respected employee for her work ethic and her attention to detail while maintaining the mechanics of labeling, filing, book binding and repair, and maintaining card catalogs manually. Later she worked at the Frame Stop in Coos Bay, where she cultivated her creative talents with handling framing various art; paintings, photography and creating shadowboxes for family heirlooms. She loved music, and enjoyed sophisticated musical tastes from Marvin Gaye to Miles Davis, a lifelong appreciation she passed on to her children. Living in San Francisco afforded her the opportunity to see many of the greats of our time. Her chosen musical anthem to her

As of July 11, all Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) districts are in fire season. This means that public use restrictions may be in place where you live or at a destination you plan on recreating to reduce the risk of human-caused wildfires. Compared with previous years, this is a slightly delayed start to the season for the state. The heavy rains in May and June of this year have helped in that. However, ODF urges Oregonians to remain vigilant in preventing human-caused wildfire. “Don’t be lulled into complacency because of the weather,” said Mike Shaw, Fire Protection Division Chief. “July and August historically have higher fire activity, and ODF is ready to respond, but we need the cooperation of Oregonians so we don’t strain our resources on fires that could have been avoided.” A large concern for the agency are the ground fuels, like grass, that grew tall due to the spring rains but will dry out quickly, becoming a greater risk for human-caused

fires. Those ground fuels will be able to catch fire easily and will then burn and spread quickly. Therefore, it is extremely important for Oregonians to continue to practice wildfire prevention this summer. Wildfire prevention for Oregonians means: • Make sure your campfire is cool to the touch before going to sleep or leaving your site. Don’t forget to Drown, Stir, Repeat. • Go back and check on your debris burn site to make sure nothing reignites due to the heat. • Don’t park your car over dried grass and make sure it is regularly maintained in order to reduce the risk of sparks. • Don’t flick a cigarette onto the ground. It may be just enough to start a grass fire. • Check local restrictions and fire danger levels. ODF protects over 16 million acres of private, county, state, and federal land from wildfire. Most districts start their fire season around May or June, and the season ends around the end of October.

As to your own depression, if you can afford it, I'm suggesting some sessions with a licensed psychologist or social worker for the time being. If, after that, your family still cannot adjust, return to the community from which you came without making apologies to anyone (and with my blessing). DEAR ABBY: I've been married to my husband for 21 years. I learned only a few days ago that he has a 9-yearold daughter from an affair he had. I never knew he'd been unfaithful. I'm disgusted about what he did. Now he wants his daughter to move in with us! I don't hate her, but I'm not crazy about children.

541-267-4216 ~ 405 Elrod Ave., Coos Bay

DEAR ABBY: My husband, my child and I have moved six times over an eight-year period. Some of the moves were within months of each other. All of them were for financial or emotional reasons. The last one took us an hour and a half away from where we had been living for many years. We had formed relationships there, and our child had built friendships. We loved the area and school. We decided to buy a house after renting, but we struggled to find a place in our price range. Instead, we found one back in an old area we liked. We have been here three months now, and we all regret the move. We miss our old friends, our child misses the old school and we are unhappy in the new house. I think my child and I may have developed depression. Our child's grades have slipped, and they have made no new friends. We are debating returning to the area we loved so much. Family and friends are giving us grief about all the moves, and I know they'll do it again. We are at a loss as to why we moved away and would like an outside honest opinion.

She not only enjoyed gardening, especially with flowering plants, but was known for repotting and reviving the house plants of less talented gardening family members. She also enjoyed crocheting and calligraphy. Lydia’s greatest love was her family which took precedence over all else, and whom were the recipients of her unconditional love, pride and joy. “Nana.” enjoyed taking care of her grandchildren, Spencer the grand-dog, and providing daycare for children of friends. Her favorite gifts to receive on her birthday, Mother’s Day or Christmas were photographs of the members of her large and loving family and her small home is full of pictures. Most importantly, Lydia was known for her giving, radiating love, and her warm, personable manner.

Also, I'm the only one in the household who is employed. He doesn't even try to find a job, and I'm treated like this live-in housekeeper, cleaning up his messes, etc. He refuses to help with housework. If the kid moves in, I'll be cleaning up after two people, plus trying to cope with anxiety and depression due to past trauma. I can only take so much. He keeps harassing me about having her stay, and he says that if I don't accept her, I don't accept him. I'm ready to ask him to leave, but what should I really do? -- FED UP IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR FED UP: After 21 years of carrying the entire load for your freeloader husband, rather than shoulder even more responsibility by taking in this child, what you should really do is consult a lawyer. It's time you started taking care of YOURSELF, because by now it should be apparent that he never will. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Tips for a new Code of the West

Letters to the Editor Bikers do more good

DAVE MARSTON By DAVE MARSTON It's not always easy living in the rural West, with customs so entrenched that everybody takes them for granted. What makes it hard for the newest newcomers is that they’re caught up in a mysterious culture. Learning the Old West code was easy decades ago. Novelist Zane Gray’s “Code of the West” told men to wear a hat only outdoors, to never wave but nod at someone on horseback, and to treat women with chivalry. You — and you were always presumed to be male — were also advised to take your gun belt off before sitting down to eat. But here we are in 2022, and from what county officials and some jaundiced newcomers tell me, the cultural confusion for newcomers almost always starts with private property. For example, the newbies tend to get huffy about their boundaries and can't believe they have to fence livestock out. Wyoming, of course, is a classic fence-out state where cows outnumber people more than 2 to 1. Irrigation is another area of contention, as water law can be murky. A ditch may run close to your property but that doesn’t mean you can take water out of it. To make the urban-rural transition easier, I’ve collected 10 tips guaranteed to ease you into your new life. But first, know that you will never become an old timer, although with patience you might become what Western historian Hal Rothman dubbed a “neo-native.” Here’s hoping this helps: 1. Always wave at neighbors when you see them and make eye contact with everyone who passes you, either in a car or on foot. This is not a challenge; it means you’re neighborly. And be cordial to everyone you see at the post office because you will see them everywhere. You may even see their dual personas, as many locals must work two or even three jobs to pay the rent. 2. Never go for a long hike with new boots. Take enough water and food for yourself and to share. Bring a rain jacket and sweater and waterproof matches. The saying “If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes,” is deadon accurate. And when someone on a hike assures you that “it's all downhill,”

it’s only partially uphill. "A little technical" means the mountain has hair-raising sections, while “just around the corner” means the end of the trail is not. 3. Realize that nobody is more important than anybody else. Rich and poor may sport raggedy clothes. Notable figures in town are probably dogs; learn their names. 4. Know that it’s considered rude to insult a person’s dog, but if it comes on your land and harasses your cattle, you can shoot the dog. If your dog chases wildlife, you’re in for a big fine and maybe worse. 5. Flashing your headlights to oncoming cars is good form if there’s a hazard ahead, usually a deer, or perhaps a deputy sheriff trolling for speeders. 6. Notice that law enforcement people are not the only people carrying guns, and a gun on the hip doesn’t necessarily indicate political party. 7. Always stop to help people on a trail or road because federal agencies are spread too thin for fast rescues. Locals would stop to help you, even if your hat logo fails to reflect their politics. 8. You might be bored senseless, but you will learn what local public service is all about if you sample meetings from school board to county commission. And immediately volunteer at a nonprofit or two, while also subscribing to your local paper if you’re lucky enough to have one. 9. Clean jeans are considered dress-up. 10. Forego saying you’re pretty good at something unless you have a death wish. For example, in Durango, Flagstaff or Jackson, saying you’re a “good” mountain biker or skier is an invitation to be politely left behind at midday. Bonus tip: If you think about buying a house next to a yard full of old farm implements, don’t be tempted. That yard collection is permanent. Complaining, however, rarely works in the rural place you’ve adopted. A painful lesson might be that like it or not, you can only change yourself. Wagon wheels are always a safe decoration. Dave Marston is publisher of Writers on the Range, writersontherange. org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. He grew up in rural Colorado.

In response to “Keep bikes off our streets (Jerald Reese, July 9, 2022),” I am a local bike rider who is neither a “Lance Armstrong wannabe,” nor a “degenerate” without a car or driver’s license, although I do bike more miles than I drive annually. As far as an “enviro-weenie,” I am not sure exactly what that means, but if it has anything to do with using less fossil fuels and working to prevent climate change, I guess I am one of those. As far as the author’s other points, they are either ridiculous or factually incorrect. First, as any fishermen or forester will tell you, bad weather and hilly terrain is no reason to not go outside as the author seems to suggest (weanie, anyone?). Plus, Coos Bay is not flat, but we’re not exactly the Rockies either, and we are blessed with six months of sunny weather every year. For the other six months – put on rain gear. While it is true that historically roads were designed to move cars fast, it turns out that isn’t great for anyone. Adding bike lanes reduces accidents, not just for bikers and pedestrians, but also for vehicles. And bike lanes are good for the economy. A recent study by Portland State University found that bike lanes boost sales in local businesses as well as increasing local employment, benefiting the area economically. Other studies have found that bike friendly communities have higher levels of health and well-being, decreasing health care costs. The roads are funded by everyone. In Oregon, the gas tax and license fees cover only about 52% of road maintenance costs. That means the remainder is paid for by taxes from other sources, including cyclists who do not cause wear and tear of roadways. I’d rather live in a vibrant community where people of all ages walk, run, and bike than an area designed for speeding cars. Let’s slow down, share our roads, and celebrate having a town that includes many local bikers and bike tourists! Carol Aron North Bend

Bigotry on display

I think congratulations are due to Jace Rogers for having, in his letter of July 1st about the Pride flag, fulfilled every stereotype about the angry, ignorant, paranoid, redneck who hasn’t yet made it into the 20th century, let alone the 21st, and who hasn’t realized that everyone who isn’t exactly like him isn’t also an unwelcome interloper. What the Coos Bay City Council has done by agreeing to fly the LGBTQ Pride flag for 30 days a year is to say: “We recognize that everyone isn’t heterosexual and cis gender, and we don’t mind that at all. You are welcome here in Coos Bay!” This is hardly a radical statement; in fact, it only just passes the basic “all are equally welcome in the United States of America” marker that we all, as U.S. citizens, agree to by definition. To be an American is to recognize as equal all who live here, whether or not we agree with how they live their lives. Right now, the Pride flag is an important acknowledgment of that. I hope that someday we won't need it to be flown, or even to exist at all, because acceptance will have become the norm, not the exception, but for now it signals that a community isn't hostile to those of us who aren't cis gender heterosexuals, and that matters. As for the “latest thing” comment, non-heterosexual relationships have existed since the beginning of time. For millennia, people have formed emotional and sexual partnerships based on their own inclinations, and the

acceptance of that fact is what has varied from society to society and time period to time period, not the relationships themselves. Thankfully, we live in a society and time period that has decided to recognize reality, and acknowledge the naturalness of all relationships. Same-sex partnerships, including sexual ones, are well-documented in nature, too, so it may be that it is the angry heterosexuals like Jace who are the uncommon ones, not us. The fragility of such people’s peace of mind does worry me, however. If you feel that merely flying a flag as an acknowledgment of the existence and full citizenship of a group of still marginalized people equals “homosexuality being crammed down your and your childrens’ throats,” then perhaps you need to see someone who can help you with these feelings of helpless victim-hood. It’s certainly not a healthy or rational reaction to such a mild gesture. I believe Coos Health & Wellness can help. Tell them you need to talk to someone about your feelings about gayness, and I’m sure they’ll have a list of therapists for you. Tracy Hodson Bandon

Be more bike friendly

Response to Jerald Reese. Keep bikes off our streets. How can we be making the area more bike-friendly? Coos Bay/North Bend has no bike infrastructure to work with. Good bike and pedestrian infrastructure have benefits to the health and wealth of an area. If Coos Bay was picturesque and a place people want to be then that must be a benefit. I guess I’m classified as an insufferable enviro-weenie as I like to ride a bike on safe streets and with clean air. Our country has one of the highest rates of obesity in the world, one look at all the drive-through fast food places confirms it. We also lead the developed world in the number of traffic accidents. I would suggest you do more research especially on car dependency. Many of us load our bikes on our vehicles and do find safe pleasant areas to ride and spend our money and time. Why would we want to ride our bikes around an unhealthy car-infested decaying dump? Mike Powter Coos Bay

Bikers pay for themselves and then some

In response to Jerald Reese: The bicycle industry in Oregon accounted for over $1.5 billion of spending statewide in 2019, second of all outdoor recreational activities. More cycling than golfing, hunting and rock/mountain climbing, combined. In Coos County, outdoor recreation accounts for 13,400 full or part-time jobs, $446 million in wages and other compensation, $81 million in GDP contributions and $49 million in state and local taxes. US 101 is a world-class cycle-touring route and it runs right through your town. Whiskey Run may well become a world-class mountain-biking destination. Hills and rain are part and parcel of bicycle commuting anywhere west of the Cascades and a reliable, affordable choice for many citizens who pay taxes for things like roads. Seems like an awful lot of money and jobs and lives to lose simply to appease bigotry, so I would recommend not going your way. Dave Reynolds Bandon

'Most destructive, costliest forest pest ever to invade North America' A new invasive species in Oregon could threaten urban forests, wetlands and streams. “Since it was first found in the Detroit, Michigan area in 2002, the emerald ash border (EAB) has become the most destructive and costliest forest pest ever to invade North America,” Oregon Department of Forestry's (ODF) Invasive Species Specialist Wyatt Williams said. In Oregon The EAB was first discovered at Forest Grove in Oregon June 30 and sharpens impact concerns, according to the ODF and Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA). The insect is only half an inch long and an eighth of an inch wide and has spread to 35 states and five Canadian provinces, killing up to 99 percent of their ash trees in some locations, according to Williams. "At least five ash species native to the central U.S. have become critically endangered as EAB spreads across the country killing hundreds of millions of urban and wild ash trees,” he said. "Within a decade of EAB’s arrival in an area, most ash trees will be dead or dying. The concern in Oregon is for Oregon ash because of the important ecological role it plays along streams and in wetlands."

Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) is a deciduous hardwood tree found most commonly in wetlands and along streams. “It’s an ecologically vital tree as it shades water, keeping it cooler for fish. The roots stabilize streambanks, reducing erosion," Williams said. "And lots of animals, birds and insects eat the seeds and leaves. Losing it will likely have a huge impact on those ecosystems." According to Williams, ODF has used the advance notice that EAB was heading west to gather up seed from throughout Oregon ash’s range in the state. “The first goal is to try and preserve as much of the tree’s genetic diversity as we can before it’s lost," Williams said. The U.S. Forest Service’s Dorena Genetics Resource Center in Cottage Grove stores the ash seeds and is sharing them with researchers. The researchers will test for any resistance to EAB. If any is found, ODF might then be able to breed resistance into local strains and replant streambanks, according to Williams. Protecting urban forests Ash species from the central and eastern United States and Europe are commonly planted as ornamentals in Oregon, according to ODF’s Urban

and Community Forestry Assistance Program Manager Scott Altenhoff. “The state has been warning communities for years to prepare for this pest and have plans in place for dealing with the loss of ash trees," Altenhoff said. ODF also has been advising cities and towns to take three important steps this summer if possible to counteract the species invasion. “First, if it hasn’t been done already, inventory trees to see how vulnerable the local urban forest is to losses from emerald ash borer," Altenhoff said. "We have a common software called TreePlotter that’s free for communities to use. As data come in from around the state, it will give us a common picture of where all the vulnerable urban trees are." Second, Altenhoff said now is a good time to remove ash trees from approved street tree lists as has been done in Portland. Olive trees, which are in the same family as ash, can also be vulnerable, he said. “Finally, consider how wood from ash trees that die from emerald ash borer might be used locally,” Altenhoff said. “There may be opportunities to help local woodworkers and artists and keep the wood from going to waste. But

ODF Invasive Species Specialist Wyatt Williams points to a tiny exit hole made by an emerald ash borer as it emerged from an ash tree in Forest Grove. it is crucial that people not move ash or any other wood beyond their local area. That avoids people accidentally spreading wood-boring pests faster than they would otherwise.” While the beetle doesn’t bite or sting and is otherwise harmless to people, pets, and animals, it has proven deadly in another way. “Research revealed that where the tree canopy was dominated by ash, the rapid removal of all those trees led to higher than expected deaths among residents. So loss of urban trees is harmful to people,” Altenhoff said. He advises communities to prioritize removal of ash trees that are already in poor health or growing in

spaces too small for them. “Starting to steadily replace ash will spread out the costs and impacts better than waiting for a massive die-off,” Altenhoff said. “Fortunately, there are many alternative tree species, including Oregon white oak, incense cedar and Chinese pistache, that might be more heat and drought resistant than ash.” The infested ash trees in Forest Grove were cut down and chipped within 48 hours of discovery. ODF and ODA are now working closely with industry partners, including urban foresters and nursery producers, to provide information and resources as Oregon launches a response to the discovery of EAB.

The state is using the Emerald Ash Borer Readiness and Response Plan for Oregon as a guide in its response. The plan was finalized in March 2021 and created through the collaborative efforts of a diverse group of stakeholders and state agencies. The state will be consulting with local and federal governments and providing updates to the public and industry as it moves through its response efforts. To report sightings of emerald ash borer, make a report online at the Oregon Invasive Species Council hotline. For more information about impacts of EAB to Oregon’s urban forests and the risks to native ash trees, visit ODF’s Forest Health page.

Local athletes qualify for Junior Olympics nationals Bandon graduate Hunter Angove claimed a Northwest Regional title and four athletes from the Prefontaine Track Club also qualiﬁed for the Junior Olympics national championships with their ﬁnishes at the regional championships last weekend. Angove, who competes as an unattached athlete, won his specialty, the pole vault. He had already claimed the title when he cleared 14 feet, 5 inches, so he had the bar raised to 16 feet, which would have been a new personal best. Angove was well over the bar on his third attempt, but hit the bar on the way down. Angove, who was using a big-

ger pole he had borrowed from Marshfield for his final attempts, will compete in the national championships in Sacramento at the end of the month. He also has been in talks with the University of Oregon’s pole vault coach — he starts at Oregon on an Evans caddie scholarship this fall. One other pole vaulter from the South Coast also qualified for the nationals — Coquille High School student Reagan Krantz, who was sixth in the pole vault in the 17-18 age group with a new best of 9 feet, 8 inches. Another Pre Track Club member qualified in two events. North Bend’s Addison Horning, who will be a seventh-grader this

fall, was third in the 1,500 meters in 5 minutes and 28.95 seconds. Horning also was fifth in the 3,000 in 12:02.10. Both times were slower than her bests set earlier this season. The other two Prefontaine Track Club athletes to compete were twins Logan and Cooper Vinyard, competing in the 8-and-under age group. Both twins set personal bests in both their events, qualifying in one. Logan was 10th and Cooper 12th in the 100 meters in 16.54 and 16.86 seconds, respectively. They both qualified in the long jump. Logan was fifth with a leap of 10-3 ¼ and Cooper was sixth with a mark of 10-1 ¾.

North Coos sweeps twin bills at Florence doubleheader The North Coos American Legion baseball team picked up a couple of doubleheader sweeps, one in a league twin bill against Three Rivers of Florence and the other in a non-league match-up against

North Douglas. Against Three Rivers, North Coos won 2-1 and 9-6. Bryant Wicks and Jack Burgmeier had strong pitching in the opener and Sam Mickelson had a triple.

In the nightcap, Peyton Forrester, Weston Moffitt and Knoll Gederos pitched for the Waterfront, which took advantage of some walks by Three Rivers and some timely hitting to score its runs.

Against North Douglas, North Coos won 15-0 and 19-8, after trailing by six runs in the nightcap. Gederos and Joshio Stevens combined on a one-hitter with 11 strikeouts in the opener and Gederos and

Burgmeier hit doubles. Gederos also had three hits and Jalen Riddle had two. North Coos finishes its season with a doubleheader against South Coos at Marshfield High School on Friday.

THIS WEEK IN COOS COUNTY HISTORY: JULY 8 - JULY 12 guarantors of the Chautauqua contract.

100 YEARS — 1922 Fire breaks out near Parkersburg Deputy Warden is sent to look after it J.M. Thomas is east of Myrtle Point — another fire in Panther Ridge country Another forest fire in Coos county was reported this morning. It is north of Parkersburg and probably near the Crane camp on the Coquille river. The report came to the headquarters of Chief Warden J.M. Thomas this morning but did not state how bad a fire it is. Mr. Thomas has gone to the Sheep camp east of Myrtle Point so one of the deputy wardens was sent to look after the Parkersburg fire. A message from Loon Lake states that the fire there is under control. Fire has broken out again in the old burn in the Panther Ridge section. There has been a fire there for some time past but it was thought to have been extinguished, but it now appears to have broken out again.

North Bend will have Chautauqua Arrangements made for the entertainment next year Sufficient guarantors have been secured to close the contract for the season North Bend is to have a Chautauqua next year. This fact was decided definitely yesterday, previous to the departure of Miss Sigrid Aranson, the Ellison White director in North Bend this year. There was serious doubt felt for some days, as this was a hard year for the Chautauqua. Coming as it did in Fourth of July week, and following so closely after the circus, the big show was not patronized quite so readily as in former years, and there was left a $600 deficit to be met by the fifty guarantors. A proposal that North Bend cooperate with Marshfield and hold the Chautauqua midway between the two towns met with disfavor, so cards were circulated to obtain pledges from citizens who would purchase season tickets next year. There are approximately 400 adult tickets already ledged. With this assurance of success, there was no difficulty in obtaining the signatures of business men of the city as

50 YEARS — 1972 ‘Pre’ captures 5,000 in record time EUGENE (UPI) — When Bill Bowerman and his coaching staff take the United States men’s track and field team to Munich next month it could be one of the most powerful ever to represent America. This was evident over and over again in the 10-day Olympic trials which ended Sunday. It was quite evident when Steve Prefontaine extended his unbeaten streak to 24 races while beating veteran Olympian George Young in the American record time of 13:29.8 for 5,000 meters and when Wayne Collett upset world record holders John Smith and Lee Evans in the 400 meter dash in 44.1 seconds. Prefontaine’s spectacular finish Sunday was the fitting climax to the week-and-ahalf of competition that weeded out nearly 600 athletes to the 68 who will represent America at Munich. “This is the greatest place in the world to run,” he said after being mobbed by autograph seekers and fans following the race. “If the Olympics were held here, nobody would beat me. But I know these people will be with me in spirit at Munich. Prefontaine and Young pulled away from the rest of the 12-man pack midway through the race and passed the two mile mark at 8:46. “I had planned to go out with a ¾ of a mile to go,” he said, although he ended up waiting until the final 660 yards to pull away from Young. He ran the final two laps with only the fans as he chopped the American Record by seven full seconds.

Coos Bay board passes District 9 conduct code Responsibility of parents School District 9 Coos Bay adopted a school conduct code for the coming year. “We’ve never had a conduct code before it is now a legal requirement,” said Superintendent John Crowley. A committee of students, citizens and teachers worked on the code for about a year to develop the code which covers all student

conduct from attendance to automobiles. Crowley noted that student dress responsibility is essentially placed on the parents. Don Bunyard, chairman of the code committee, told the board in a report that the code emphasizes the rights and responsibilities of students living within the framework of constituted law and school board policies. “Care was taken to protect students against arbitrary and capricious treatment, yet insisting on responsible student conduct,” he said. “The protection of the learning environment for all students was a primary objective of the committee.” The code is not intended to be a detailed account of all rules and regulations in District 9, said Bunyard, but some policies are speciﬁc … such as those on smoking and drugs. Other policies, such as those on freedom of expression, are general and leave more to be interpreted by principals.

North Bend chalks up ‘banner year’ for new construction North Bend has just completed a “banner” year for construction of new homes and commercial businesses, according to City Administrator Pro Tem Bill Bourne. He said new highs were set in nine of the 12 months during the fiscal year July 1, 1971 through June 1972. Building Official W.B. “Buck” Slaughter said building has increased each year in the city, but in the recent year just ended amount of construction value was nearly doubled. The new figure is $3,561,092 compared to $1,965,092 the previous year. The year just ended saw the start of 49 single family dwellings, nine duplexes, two multi-plex projects (20 dwelling units) and 12 new industrial or commercial buildings. Most of the projects were reported completed or nearing final stages of completion.

20 YEARS — 2002 Coastal routes gain national recognition Imagine driving along a scenic highway

with views of the ocean, lighthouses, parks, overlooks and other amenities. For South Coast residents, a trip like that is a stone’s throw away, and U.S. Highway 101 in Oregon is gaining national attention for its scenery. It has received an All-American road designation from the U.S. Department of Transportation. The portion of Highway 101 from Astoria to Brookings met All-American Road criteria by offering a unique driving experience that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the country. It passes by marshes, cliffs, valleys and sand dunes. Tourist-friendly coastal towns are frequent on the thoroughfare, along with state parks, scenic overlooks, historic bridges and lighthouses. What’s more, the section of highway between Highway 38 along the Umpqua River and Agness-Illahe Road following the Rogue River in Gold Beach has been recognized as the Rogue-Umpqua Scenic Byway, because it is located between two congressionally designated wild and scenic rivers.

Upbeats on top in Portland The Marshfield Upbeats dance team participated in the Thunderbird Dance Camp at the University of Portland and came back with several individual awards. The camp lasted from July 10-13 and a total of 380 dancers from around the state danced in six different levels, from beginner to advanced. Leading the way for Marshfield was Leslie Wall, who was selected to the Thunderbird all-star dance team. Wall is one of the team’s captains. “It is a huge honor,” said coach Debbie Brown. “The team did really well.” Of the 17 Marshfield dancers, 11 won trophies in their respective classes and all received at least a ribbon. Brown credited the team’s dedication this summer and attending all the practices. “That played a big factor,” she said. “They were ready to go.” These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School.

Bandon’s Jennings Graduates U.S. Merchant Marine Academy Keeton LeDoux Jennings of Bandon recently graduated from the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY. Jennings earned a bachelor of science degree and a commission in the U. S. armed forces. He also earned a Merchant Marine officer license in the U.S. flag merchant marine, qualifying him to serve as an officer on any ship in the U.S. flag merchant marine. The academy is one of five U.S. federal service academies. It educates and graduates licensed Merchant Marine officers to

serve the nation during peace and war. In addition to the rigorous academic and physical requirements for admission, applicants must be nominated by their congressman or senator. All USMMA graduates incur an obligation to serve the United States. The U.S. Flag Merchant Marine – manned exclusively by American mariners – is essential for securing the country’s commerce in peacetime and delivering war fighters, weapons, and military supplies in times of conflict. The majority of “Kings Point-

ers” serve for eight years as Navy reservists in the Strategic Sealift Officer Program while working aboard U.S. flag vessels; others will serve on active duty in our nation’s

armed forces. By virtue of their elite training and real-world experience, graduates are ready to go on day one in service of American military strength and economic power. As part of his four year education, Jennings spent one year training as a cadet aboard ocean going vessels. The academy welcomed Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as the commencement speaker. Secretary Buttigieg told the graduates “This academy, which trains and educates the majority of our Strategic Sealift Ofﬁcers, is vital to our national

security. And the academy, and your service as mariners, SSO’s, and members of the armed forces, might well be as important as ever in our history.” “Now, more than ever, the Merchant Marine Academy is a deeply and enduringly important part of our economic and national security.” Dedicated during WWII, USMMA has since served the nation in both peace and war.

Souther Coos Hospital & Heath Center Quarterly Art Show Opening Reception Set for July 17 Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center and the Southern Coos Health Foundation will host a show of artworks relating to the theme of Dog Days of Summer. The show runs July, August and September. An in-person reception is scheduled for Sunday, July 17, from 1-3 p.m. at the hospital. There will be live music and refreshments. Featured Artist is Jill Stockford, an accomplished artists whose colorful and whimsical paintings, often including dogs, have graced the walls of Southern Coos Hospital and other local art galleries. Dog Days of Summer is the period between early July and early September when the hot sultry weather of summer usually occurs in the northern hemisphere. Ancient Romans calculated this time using the Dog Star, Sirius. About the Artist “Since I was a young child I was always very observant in everything around me in a very detailed way: colors, light and shadows, shapes, etc., and always daydreaming. I always loved to draw and had a passion for animals, especially dogs, my whole life. As I grew, my ability to draw came very naturally, and I was ahead of other children my age. I always figured I would grow up to be a veterinarian or an artist. “My parents noticed my talent for art and encouraged it. By the time I got to the 5th grade, when you can join the school band, something each of my siblings had done, I asked for art lessons instead. Unfortunately, in our small town of Milton-Freewater in NE Oregon, art tutors or classes outside of school were not available, and my ability was ahead of the art taught in school. The best my parents could find was 4-H, which was more “crafts” than “art.” “I had to teach myself and like many aspiring artists in the 1980s, I tuned into PBS and watched Bob Ross and Bill Alexander. I started with watercolor and tempera paints as a child, then worked my way up to acrylics by junior high. One day I painted a baby harp seal in my bedroom, laying on the floor, and gave it to my mom. She couldn’t believe how good it was for my age (6th grade at the

time) and went to the school to talk to the art teacher. She asked if she would be willing to tutor me during recess. The art teacher agreed, but only if more students signed up so it wouldn’t be just me. I was more than happy for forfeit my recess and take an advanced art class. This was my introduction to acrylic painting and a path to hone my skills. “By the time I got to high school, I breezed through all the art class electives they offered and could go no further in school. My mom was able to find an elderly lady in town who taught oil painting out of her garage one night a week. She taught me oil painting and more techniques as well as rules of composition. “After high school, I moved to Oahu and attended BYU-Hawaii as an art major with an emphasis in oil painting. I majored in 2-D and minored in sculpture. I graduated in 1994 with a fine art degree and took a job in Honolulu as a free-hand artist, designing polyresin figurines for the tourist market. My dream for my future, and keep in mind I was an 80s teenager, was to either design album covers and concert T-shirts for heavy metal bands, or create creatures for horror and sci-fi movies in Hollywood, or do the matte paintings used as backgrounds in movies, or lastly be an animator for Disney cartoons. However, being in college in the early 1990s, Hollywood was at the cusp of using computer graphic imaging (CGI) and I was not techy, nor did I think a free-hand artist such as myself should let a computer do all the work. Had I pursued computer art I would be at the beginning of CGI in movies and working at Pixar or something (sigh). “My life took a different path, though. I eventually returned to Oregon, painted some murals in Milton-Freewater and Walla Walla Washington (I have about 18 murals to my name), as well as a few in Salem, where I moved to and lived for 6 years, working as an adoption coordinator for the Humane Society. I did my art on the side. “In 2005, I moved to Bandon with dreams of having my own little shop in Old Town to sell my art and sell fun things for

dog lovers but that never happened either. I’ve worked as a driver for golf transportation, a courier, and ran the snack shack at Bandon Crossings golf course. Finally I realized I was going nowhere and took a dog grooming course, opened my own business in 2013 out of my home, and have been grooming dogs since. “I continue to freelance my art and do commission pieces whenever I can. I began a series of paintings featuring speciﬁc Bandon sea stacks that reveal the rock’s namesake within the rock itself. I sell prints of these at The Big Wheel and they have been quite popular and in demand. I also found a niche in painting driftwood and sell those pieces at the Sassy Seagull in Old Town. Aside from that I enjoy participating in the Boardwalk Art Show and the hospital shows. “I can paint any subject matter but have a fondness for painting dogs. I never acquired the skill set to do portraits of people, however, I can paint generic people. My art inspirations were Walt Disney and Chuck Jones for cartooning, and Norman Rockwell for his amazing gift of capturing everyday Americans and American life. Of the mas-

ters, I’ve always been fond of Michelangelo’s work in both painting and sculpture. “I’ve given lessons in the past, once through a community college, and I’ve tutored in the past. Currently I have no space to teach art but am looking at possibly teaching out of my garage if I can work it out. I specialize in pet portraits and adore my dogs, as I never had kids. My dogs are my joys in life. So between having my own dog grooming business and working with dogs every day, but also being able to keep freelancing in art, I have the best of both passions. I may not have made it to Hollywood as an artist for the movies but that’s okay because I prefer my home state of Oregon so much more.” -Jill Stockford The Southern Coos Health Foundation’s Quarterly Art Shows continue to remain free to enter.

The third picture I am sharing was taken after the 1949 Cranberry Festival when young parade winners lined up to have their picture taken. This was a small snapshot found in the collection of the late Johnny Lorenz, and shared with me by his widow Jean. Even though this photo did not appear in Western World, I found a list of the parade winners on the front page, which helped me identify most of those in the front row and even a couple in the background. From left are David Lorenz, Ronelda Riley, Pat Olson, Marcia Helferstine, Mike Dobney (the pirate), Margaret Lorenz, Carol Tucker, Sue Sweet (the three in white), Mary Jane Hartley (on her tricycle) and Larry Baker, dressed as a bell boy. In back, at right, I can see D.H. Miller and, in the white cap, George Dow, who was one of the parade judges.

While listening to the ODOT road report for the Fourth of July weekend, I heard mention of the possibility of traffic slowdowns in the Reedsport area and knew exactly what they were referring to. It was the Road Diet, which reconfigured the highway through Reedsport, resulting in a serious bottleneck. Again, I realized how fortunate Bandon was to have dodged the proverbial bullet when the city council voted against the Road Diet. In the beginning some felt it might be helpful to slow traffic through town and we decided to take a good look at it .... but that was until

we got a petition signed by most of Bandon's business community urging us to turn down ODOT's Road Diet. And we said, "thanks, but no thanks." I've been told by one of the Reedsport councilors that the state has agreed to eventually remove the Road Diet conﬁguration, but he mentioned that cost was the holdup.

As crime continues to be a huge issue in Coos County and the entire state, it has been reported that a schizophrenic man from Springﬁeld, who in 2015 beat his father to death with a baseball bat, critically injured his mother and then killed two other innocent victims in the Eugene-Springﬁeld area is being released from the state mental hospital to a less secure facility in Woodburn. Lane County District Attorney Patty Perlow called the decision "terrifying." She feared for the safety of the people of Woodburn and other members of his family. The TV report indicated that he might even be allowed to leave the facility unsupervised. Only recently, a man who walked away from a less secure facility like this in another state broke into a family's home and killed them. It is time that the safety of our communities outweigh the concern about keeping people who commit heinous crimes in secure lockdown. These kinds of decisions, coupled with a new state law which basically prohibits jailing people for a number of crimes, makes us all less safe. Property crimes are particularly out of control in the north part of Coos County, and because of a lack of space in the jail's 48-bed pod (the only one open in the 250-bed jail), there is no room for them, often even if they met the matrix to be jailed. Apparently the reasoning behind SB48 is that minorities are being unfairly targeted because they cannot post the bail necessary to get them out of jail while they await

trial. So the legislature, in their infinite wisdom (said with a great deal of sarcasm) felt it would be better not to require bail ... but just release people on their own recognizance, hoping, I guess, that they will show up for court. This week in Portland a man arrested for a hate crime against an Asian father and his son was released and failed to turn up for his court hearing. Fortunately he was soon found, but Portland's mayor and other officials are pointing the finger at each other as to how this could happen.

One of Bandon's popular Old Town businesses, D'Lyn's, owned by Dorothy Lynn Saunders, will be closing soon. Because of Lynn's medical condition, she is no longer able to run the store. In the meantime her daughters and her husband, Larry Saunders, are operating the business, and are selling the merchandise at sale prices. They had hoped that someone might want to buy the business, which leases the bottom space from Bill and Louise Moore, on the corner of Chicago and Second Street, but that has not materialized. People are reminded that the next Alive After Five wine walk is scheduled for this Friday, July 15, from 5 to 7, with $10 glasses to be purchased at the picnic shelter on the Port of Bandon Boardwalk.

Oregon basketball fans who have followed the illustrious career of former Duck Sabrina Ionescu were thrilled to learn that the 31 points she scored for the New York Liberty, in their 116-107 win over Las Vegas recently, was the highest scoring triple double in WNBA history and tied Candace Parker's league record of three triple-doubles. We all knew she was something special, and her latest accomplishments bears that out..

yesterday knocked on his neighbor's door. His parents were dead, overdosing from fentanyl. So how are we going to keep this from happening?" After listening for several minutes, City Manager Rodger Craddock told Johnson he and Police Chief Chris Chapanar would be willing to meet with him to explain what the city can and can't do with regards to the homeless. That's the thing. We come here, we express our concern, we don't hear anything," Johnson said. "I just want to know who's allowing these people to be dropped off here from Salem or Portland?" Mayor Joe Benetti jumped into the conversation, trying to defend the city council. "First of all, no one is allowing anything," the mayor said. "Second of all, this is the ﬁrst time we've heard about it. No one from the Captain's Cabin or any other citizen has reported it here. No one's reported it, period." "It is common knowledge," Johnson responded. "It is not common

knowledge or I wouldn't be asking about it," Benetti said. Chapanar said the police are always working to gather information that could help with the homeless and drug problems. "Any time we've learned or heard that somebody's being dropped off, we try to circle back around to see who dropped them off," Chapanar said. Johnson battled back against the claims that no one knew of people being dropped off from Portland and Salem, saying a story that ran in The World four years ago talked about it. "If you want to come down and have an appointment and talk to the chief or the city manager about this, we'd be happy to do so," Benetti said. "It's not something we're not addressing or we're ignoring. We're limited to what we can and can't do." Chapanar agreed, saying he would be happy to meet with Johnson and others concerned about the issue. "I would like to schedule a meeting with you," the chief said. "We might have some information on the house you're talking about. I would like to be able to explain some stuff to you, even people with warrants, and our inability

"We can't address everything that's happening right now," Benetti said. "There's laws that have happened. We can go into it. There's a lot here. Can we do some things? Yes. We have done some things."

Before sitting down, Johnson said he was not going to let his issue die quietly. "I know it's public record, so any property you own, I'll look it up and send them to your property," he said. Councilor Stephanie Kilmer told Johnson all the council members have had to live with the issue, as well.

borhood. Your frustration is shared by a number of people. Nobody needs to send them all over. It's happening in every neighborhood." Linda Johnson also spoke about the issue, saying the city could do more. "I understand your hands are tied. I understand mostly why," she said. "But if we have the backbone of city council, there's things. All the wonderful things we're talking about doing. If we don't take care of this, nothing will matter." After the public comment portion ended, Benetti defended the city council again. "This council, since 2016, since I came back on this council, has addressed this issue," he said. "We started the

homeless committee. It was supposed to be six months, now we're into six years, because it never ends. We all have a vested interest in this city, and we want the betterment for it. Is it frustrating? Absolutely it's frustrating. We are only able to do so much. You think we can resolve this easily. It doesn't happen this way. We have laws that restrict what we can and can't do. We can't break the law. "I'm willing to have a meeting, I'm willing to have a discussion. If you have an idea, I'm all up for it. It's not that we're not doing something. We're trying. It's an issue we're all dealing with. I apologize we can't solve all these problems."

OR residents scramble to get State Silver Bank Rolls OREGON - Once Oregon residents got wind that Oregon State Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because they are the only Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design. “The phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone will be trying to get them while they still can,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Oregon State Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Oregon residents already have and you don’t want to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped minting these Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars in 1947 and there can

never be any more which moves them into the collectible coin status. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Roll is a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these Oregon State Bank Rolls themselves have been marked State Restricted by price which means the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to Oregon residents and non-state residents must pay full price if any remain. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Bank Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Oregon who get their hands on these State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars some dating back to the early 1900’s so everyone who wants them better hurry.

Only State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Oregon residents Oregon residents get first dibs on Sealed Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value starting at 7:30 am today STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 Oregon State Bank Rolls per OR resident has been imposed OREGON - “Oregon residents get first dibs. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. Beginning at precisely 7:30 am this morning State of Oregon Sealed Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are actually being handed over to Oregon residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘Very few people have ever actually saw one of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “But here’s the good news. The Bank Rolls themselves have been marked State Restricted by price which means the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to Oregon residents only and non-state residents must pay full price if any Bank Rolls remain,” Lynne confirmed This is important to note. “These are the only Oregon State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls known to exist. You can’t get them at banks or credit unions or the Government since they do not produce State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls. In fact, you can only get them bearing the exclusive State Restricted Design and rolled this way directly from National Mint and Treasury,” Lynne explained. “Now that the State of Oregon Sealed Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Oregon residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident while they still can,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars found inside the Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are 90% pure silver so Oregon residents who get their hands on them will be glad they did,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Oregon you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s 15 U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because state residents who miss the deadline and non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. “U.S. Gov’t issued coins like these are 90% pure silver and a favorite of dealers, collectors and the like,” Lynne said. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. So the only thing readers need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Oregon and call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s publication,” Lynne said. ■

STATE MINIMUM: Of just $39 per coin set by National Mint and Treasury

SILVER: One of the last Silver coins minted for circulation

LAST MINTED: Minted in Philadelphia, Denver & San Francisco

FACTS:

ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL: Year varies 1916-1947

RARELY SEEN: Minted by the U.S. mint in the early 1900’s

HOW TO CLAIM THE OREGON STATE BANK ROLLS If you are a Oregon State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB4991

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberty Half Dollars were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. So there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberty Half Dollars date back to the early 1900’s and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know Walking Liberties are collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

Why are so many Oregon residents claiming them:

Because they are the only Oregon State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design, everyone who wants their share better call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s publication. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars dating back to the early 1900’s. Best of all the Bank Rolls have been marked State Restricted by price which means the state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury is restricted to Oregon residents who beat the deadline only. That means Oregon residents cover only $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls for the next 2 days.

How do I get the State Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls:

Oregon residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 Oregon State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB4991 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only Oregon State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist with the exclusive State Restricted Design. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents must pay $1,770 for each Oregon State Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

The band is a recognized non-profit organization by the state of Oregon and the IRS. Some of the selections to be played include: The Star Wars Epic Part two, composed by John Williams; Music from Air Force One, composed by Jerry Goldsmith; Hollywood Moods, composed by Alfred Newman; Disney at the Movies arranged by John Higgins; and Music for a Darkened Theatre various themes by composer Danny Elfman. Darrell Grant Provides an Interactive Piano Jazz Celebration at Oregon Institute of Marine Biology’s Boat House Auditorium in Charleston at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 17 Acclaimed international piano artist, composer, educator and citizen activist Darrell Grant returns to the festival to provide an afternoon of music and conversation with the community. Enjoy this special performance from the historic OIMB Boathouse with its spectacular view of Coos Bay. Grant channels the power of music to uplift, unite, and heal. In this rare solo concert, Grant evokes piano giants Ahmad Jamal, Ramsey Lewis, Joe Sample, and Herbie Hancock. He provides a program of original compositions and arrangements

and celebrates the release of his new live recording: The New Black. Many remember Darrell Grant’s influential piano concert held in the Elliott Forest in support for the old growth habitat in 2017. A classically trained pianist (B.M. Applied Piano, Eastman School of Music), with a masters in jazz studies (M.M. jazz performance, University of Miami), Grant is a tenured professor and associate director of the School of Music at Portland State University where he has been on faculty since 1996. Tickets $50, include the reception by Black Market Gourmet. Limited seating purchase early. Artist Susan Chambers provides “Tidal Rave of Rockfish,” for the Poster and Cover Artwork for 2022 Events. Artist will be signing posters at the Boathouse concert. Susan Chambers, a self-taught watercolor artist who builds on her love of all things fish, shellfish and tidepools to create colorful, whimsical creations provides this explanation of her creation. “This year’s poster shows off some of the West Coast’s most beautiful and majestic rockfish. Yes, they are known as “snapper” or “red snapper” on seafood menus. But a China rockfish, with its stark black and bright yellow coloring might look at you funny (but let’s face it, when doesn’t a fish look at you funny, with those big, buggy eyes?). A flag rockfish, in its red and white stripes, would tell you “red snapper” ignores its quieter-colored half. A grass rockfish is appropriately colored in shades of green. But ask a fisherman about the colloquial name of for yellowtail rockfish and he’ll tell you it’s called a ”greenie.” In this year’s poster, Earl the elephant seal keeps the rhythm

with some loud calls while the waves crash and the wind howls. A couple dozen rockfish decide to come listen to the pianist improvise after the wind whisks away her sheet music. It’s stormy fun on the Oregon Coast! Even Tucker the tiger rockfish returns from his performance in the last poster to join the event. I’ve always believed Oregon and the West Coast have some of the brightest fish around, rivaling many tropical fish for their color schemes. We should be proud of our beautiful rockfish! In this year’s poster, you will find the following rockfish: Tiger, Shortbelly, Black, Blue, Grass, Quillback, Yellowtail, Blackgill, China, Chilipepper, Yelloweye, Copper, Flag, Rougheye and Shortraker Rockfish. That’s only 16 out of more than 60 species of rockfish on the West Coast. I hope you enjoy the rockfish celebrating 44 years of the Oregon Coast Music Festival!

Do you wake up some mornings feeling as if the planet has finally opened pandora’s box? Or that we’ve let the genie out of the bottle (perhaps both)? Two years back, we knew this thing simply as COVID. We now know it as Alpha, Beta, Delta and most recently Omicron. Omicron has proven the most troublesome, having a capacity to mutate at a rate far exceeding our capacity to develop resistance. We’ve suffered through the subvariants BA.1, BA.2, BA.2.11, BA.2.12.1, BA.2.13, and now as unbelievable as it may seem, we are entering a wave with the most contagious COVID strains yet to date, BA.4 and BA.5. It seems these strains may also be inherently more dangerous than prior Omicron strains. It seems each variant becomes harder to detect with current testing, meaning most cases go unidentified. Even when they are detected, home tests likely aren’t reported. In fact, estimates nationwide (including Lane and Coos counties) based on sewage water samples, suggested that infection rates are actually 30 times higher than what is being reported (that’s not a misprint). It is felt we are having more new infections currently than at any prior point in the pandemic. At the current reported 7-day average of 100,000 cases per day, the true number may actually be 3 million. Also hospitalizations, a lagging indicator, are now headed much higher as well, this despite immunity from vaccination or previous infection. Based on conversations with patients, I don’t find this at all hard to believe. Stories which used to be fairly rare have now become commonplace. I’m guessing 10-25% of people walking into my office daily will report having had a recent case of COVID. Why this change? Each subsequent Omicron variant has made current vaccines as well as natural immunity from a prior infection much less effective. Additionally, we’ve dropped most restrictions and mandates. I’d suggest that after two and a half years of this, COVID is starting to feel much less like a normal virus. At this juncture the Spanish flu was over, with COVID it feels like we’re just starting over. At this point in the pandemic, we’ve learned so much about this virus. We know how it is transmitted, it’s strengths/weaknesses, how it affects various parts of the human body, treatment/vaccination options and how it mutates. Still, at this juncture we do not know one of the most important aspects of any infectious process, it’s origin. If we are to avoid a repeat of this pandemic in short order, we need to know where it came from. How else can we avoid repeating the same errors unless we know precisely what factors contributed in the first place? If this originated in bats, we need better bat control in certain parts of the world. If was a lab leak, we need to change

Dr. Charles Hurbis protocols or standards to be sure nothing like this ever happens again. So which is it, bats or lab leak? I know that we need to “entertain all potential options” but let’s consider a few things. I guess one of the things that bothers me most was China’s early response to accusations that a lab leak was even being considered. In their words, the lab theory was, “a total lie and complete rubbish, having nothing to do with science.” A more appropriate response would have been, “we’ll thoroughly investigate this possibility. If we are responsible, we’ll do everything we can to establish safer protocols and ensure that a leak can never again happen. We also may want to revisit the strains of viruses we are working with.” Instead, we got anger. They reacted with an immediate complete denial of any wrongdoing which just smacked of a cover-up. “No Mom, I didn’t just throw that ball through the living room window, how could you even suggest that, shame on you,” even though it was your ball, was found lying in a pile of broken glass inside the house, you’d just been outside playing ball and your fingerprints were all over it. The other thing that doesn’t add up is the severity of this virus. Run of the mill flus can be pretty horrible, but don’t carry nearly such a high degree of mortality. Nor are they associated with the extended list of complications such as we are seeing with COVID. Does this behavior seem a bit more suspicious for an engineered virus. I’m starting to suspect it might. I’m not being a conspiracy theorist here, this is just looking more and more consistent. The Wuhan lab is an epicenter of viral research, constantly engineering new viral strains. Certainly, most of these strains have a perfectly reasonable use in scientific research, but I think we’d be naive to not suspect other stains may be less well intended. This article recently surfaced, “WHO chief, Tedros Adhanem, confides COVID leak did occur after a catastrophic accident at Wuhan lab despite publicly maintaining ‘all hypotheses remain on the table’.” This kind of news rarely sees major headlines. What we do see in the headlines is long COVID, which is becoming far more commonplace. Two years of experience Please see DOC H, Page B4

So how do we do that? In many ways, it’s through their participation on one of our teams. While the COVID response impacted all operations in 2020 & 2021, let me re-introduce you to those committee opportunities.

and research has narrowed down the possible causes. One out of five of us will get some form of long COVID. You might ask, why would I be at risk? Well, we are all just wired differently. How we react to a COVID infection is encoded in in our DNA, our past medical history and our immunization status. Interestingly, it really has no bearing on how fit you are, where elite athletes are just as much at risk of long COVID as a nursing home patient. There are three current long COVID theories. These include: 1) Issues with coagulation, 2) Persistent viral colonization, and 3) Altered immune function. There is much data to support any of these theories and it may well turn out that long COVID has more than one cause. Changes in coagulation have always been a hallmark of the acute infection. People with active COVID are far more likely to develop serious embolic events. There are many instances where

a COVID patient, after discharge from the hospital would return home, seemingly recovered, only to sustain a catastrophic pulmonary embolism or other clot, often fatal. Tissue samples of patients with long COVID commonly show high numbers of diffuse micro emboli or small clots distributed throughout the tissue. This leads to under perfusion of whatever organ is involved. If that organ is the lungs, you will be short of breath, hypoxic and easily fatigued. If in the heart, you will have diminished cardiac output or possible arrythmias. If your brain is involved, you get brain fog. If your brain is getting 20% less blood flow you will not be at the top of your game. You can forget your event at The World Athletic Championships and cancel your MENSA membership. The next theory is retained virus. Tissue samples of long COVID patients also show persistent viral particles in just about any organ sampled, persisting many months after the active infection has cleared. The viruses are often still active, and in many cases still replicating. In this situation, COVID

has reverted from an acute infection into a chronic illness leading to the array of prolonged symptoms. The final theory of long COVID proposes the viral infection somehow creates a reset to the body’s immune system, which somehow is unable to reestablish its normal level of function. This heightened activity creates essentially an autoimmune phenomenon whereby the immune system remains in a constant state of inflammation. Certainly, this could also explain prolonged symptoms. I guess after two and a half years of living with this, if I were able to offer the two best pieces of advice they would be: 1) Keep your vaccination status up to date. Vaccination still makes acute disease less severe and decreases your chance of contracting long COVID. When an Omicron specific vaccination is available, get it. 2) Properly fitted and worn, masks DO work and are still your number one level of defense against ANY strain of this infection. When you’re going out, wear one.
