New state law puts pressure on DA, jail staff

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

COVID restrictions, staffing issues and other problems have plagued the criminal justice system for more than two years.

To add to the confusion, a new state law that went into effect July 1 has imposed a whole new standard of rules related to who can be kept in jail and who cannot.

District Attorney Paul Frasier said Senate Bill 48, which passed the Legislature last year, is part of an effort by state lawmakers to reform the criminal justice system. Based on the law, the chief justice of the state Supreme Court put froth an order related to who can be held in jail pre-trial.

“Anybody that is charged with any non-person misdemeanors, any non-per-

son Class C felonies, basically you take them to jail, and the jail is to release them on their own recognizance,” Frasier said.

“There would be basically no conditions on the release other than them being required to show up in court.”

That level of crimes includes most petty crimes like theft, shoplifting, some breaking and entering crimes and things like disorderly conduct. Frasier said the

list would cover most of what he calls “quality of life” crimes, crimes that impact people but do not injure anyone.

The second level of crimes changed in the new law included any non-domestic violence crimes, that are Class B or C felonies or misdemeanors. That would include most assaults and other somewhat violent crimes.

One of the most-anticipated art shows of the year is now on display the Coos Art Museum. The 28th annual Maritime Art Exhibit, which showcases the best art related to the ocean is on display downstairs at the museum.

The show includes 75 pieces from artists around the nation, and is the only maritime show sanctioned by the American Society of Maritime Artists on the West Coast. It will run through September.

Leah Ruby, the executive director of the Coos Art Museum, said the talent on display is amazing.

“It’s very fine maritime painting,” Ruby said. “It’s sort of a hallmark of summer in the area.”

DeFazio receives big honor in D.C.

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Congressman Peter DeFazio has been honored many times during his long career representing the Fourth Congressional District. But one of the biggest honors of his career came Wednesday when the official portrait showcasing his time as chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee was revealed.

“Yesterday was kind of a big day for me,” DeFazio said Thursday during a press briefing with media.

“We did the portrait unveiling in the Transportation and Infrastructure building.”

The portrait, painted by Eugene artist Lynda Lanker, will hang in Washington, D.C., honoring DeFazio’s term as chair. He was named chairman of the committee in 2019 and will serve until he retires early next year.

The painting shows the congressman with the gavel he uses to chair the committee. In the background is a photo of the Patterson Bridge that spans the Rogue River heading into Gold Beach. DeFazio said he wanted the bridge in the portrait because it showcases the work he did in Congress.

He explained at one time, the Oregon Department of Transportation was talking about tearing the historic bridge down, before DeFazio stepped in.

“I got an $11 million earmark to rehabilitate that bridge,” he said. “It’s good for another 50 years at least, probably 100.”

As for DeFazio, his time as Oregon’s longest-serving congressman is coming to an end. But

he promised not to leave quietly.

“I’m still working and I’ve got a lot to get done,” he said.

Even when he does retire, DeFazio said he will continue to work on issues that are important to him.

“I’m going to look for things to continue to be involved on a positive side to continue to help America and Americans,” he said.

But in retirement, he also has other plans, plans much closer to home.

“I’ve created 390,000 acres of wilderness in Oregon,” DeFazio said. “I did the largest wild and scenic rivers bill in history. I intend to enjoy some of those things I’ve saved, particularly next summer. I’m looking forward to a summer I won’t be in D.C.” While DeFazio said he is eyeing a future away from Congress, there are some elements he hopes to see made law before he leaves. He pointed specifically to climate change elements the Senate took out of the bipartisan infrastructure package before it was passed.

While the Senate has been hesitant to act, DeFazio said the Biden administration is using its power to put some of those elements into law, a move he applauds.

“They are moving ahead,” DeFazio said. “There were tools that were left to deal with greenhouse gases. They did take out my mandatory reduction element. Now they are going to implement it administratively. Maybe we should go after the root cause. The administration it taking that on. Good for them.”

American Pickers to film in Oregon this year

Contributed photo

The hit television show American Pickers will be coming to Oregon to pick from collectors in the state.

The American Pickers are excited to return to Oregon! They plan to film episodes of The History Channel hit television series throughout your area in October 2022.

AMERICAN PICKERS is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on The History Channel. The hit show follows skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques. They are always excited to find sizable, unique collections and learn the interesting stories behind them.

As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, the Pickers are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, they want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items.

They hope to give historically significant objects a new lease on life while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.

The Pickers have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always

looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them.

We at American Pickers continue to take the pandemic very seriously and will be following all guidelines and protocols for safe filming outlined by the state and CDC. Nevertheless, we are excited to continue reaching the many collectors in the area to discuss their years of picking and are eager to hear their memorable stories.

The American Pickers TV Show is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure. If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send us your name, phone number, location, and description of the collection with photos to: americanpickers@cineflix.com or call (646) 493-2184 facebook: @GotAPick

Three jurors, one from Chicago, one from New York and one from Washington state, chose the pieces on display in a blind process.

The artwork is from artists from more than a dozen states.

Jim Griffiths acted as the

judge, choosing a painting from Carolyn Hesse-Low as best of show. The director’s choice award went to Linda Best of Mead, Wash., and the Port of Coos Bay Award went to Pat Snyder of Coos Bay. “He actually painted that in the studio upstairs,” Ruby said.

Law

and assault happens, and the officer makes an arrest right there.”

But there are times when the district attorney gets an indictment and the court issues an arrest warrant.

In those cases, the warrant often includes a bond amount. So when a person is arrested, they have traditionally been able to bail out immediately. But under the new law, they would have to be held until they can see a judge.

Frasier said the impact of the new law is still to be seen, especially if and when the jail opens up capacity to hold more inmates.

“How is this affecting us right now,” he asked.

“Frankly, with our staffing issues at the jail, what’s happening in reality is a lot of people committing the low-level crimes are not being held.”

But there are still questions. Traditionally, if someone is picked up for being drunk or stopped while driving impaired, they are held until they are sober or until a sober person can pick them up.

From A1

In those crimes, the people are supposed to be taken to the jail, processed and released with court conditions that are set in advance. Judge Martin Stone has set up the local conditions, and they include things such as staying away from the victim and refraining from alcohol or drugs.

The third level in the new law includes any Measure 11 offense, any sex crimes, any domestic violence and things such as felony stalking or strangulation. In those cases, the person must be taken to jail and be held until they can be seen by a judge. In most cases, that is done within 36 hours, but on weekends it could stretch to three or more days.

Frasier said even in that case, the new law can be confusing to law enforcement.

“This brings up an interesting question,” he said. “The vast majority of arrests are out there when the officer is on the street

The new guidelines imply they should be released immediately.

“If someone has a disorderly conduct or even a DUI and they blow a .24, can we holed them until they’re sober,” Frasier asked. “We don’t know. We’re still working through things.”

Another element that could impact the district attorney’s office is a new requirement that anyone arrested and held must have a release hearing within two days. Before SB 48, prosecutors had seven days to create a report and make a case before a judge. With that narrowed to two days, it puts a lot more pressure on prosecutors.

“We have to jump on things relatively quick,” Frasier said.

While there is a new level of confusion, Frasier said his office and the jail staff are making progress.

“We’ll get through it,” he said. “We’ll see how this works. Judge Stone told us his general order is a work in progress. If we see a problem, we can ask him to tweak it.”

Obituary Rita Jean Rosson May 30, 1958 – July 6, 2022

Rita Jean Rosson, 64, of North Bend, passed away July 6, 2022 in Coos Bay. Cremation rites have been held under the direction of Nelson’s Bay Area Mortuary. She was born May 30, 1958 in Woodruff, Wisconsin, the daughter of Robert and Mae (Marti) Prue. She moved to the Bay Area in 1987 from Mullan, Idaho.

She was married to Jimmie J. Rosson on March 31, 1992 in Coos Bay. She worked as a receptionist for several different businesses over many years. She worked as a Medical Records Clerk at Bay Clinic until Covid came.

Her passion was taking care of the bald eagle, Asha and the great horned owl, Otis at the Free Flight Bird Sanctuary in Bandon.

She and her husband were volunteers there for many years until it closed, but she would still go back to feed Asha.

If You Want Get Climate Serious, Get Nuclear Serious take precious decades to replicate the Chinese rare earths infrastructure.

Also, China dominates the manufacture of cheap solar cells.

—Nuclear offers long-term planning: The design life of a plant can be as long as 100 years. These plants are clean, safe — and getting safer.

They have a high energy density and low land use, which contrast with solar and wind.

Incredibly, the world, outside of China and Russia, seems to have lost the ability to build nuclear plants. It is as though talent and institutional knowledge have disappeared. Those under construction are running many times over their projected costs and a decade or more behind schedule.

They represent a systemic industrial failure, whether it is Plant Vogtle in Georgia, Flamanville-3 in France (which gets 70 percent of its electricity from nuclear; we get 19 percent), or Olkiluoto 3 in Finland.

At the heart of these failures — complex and far-reaching — is a failure of welds and a shortage of welders.

As a first step, the United States, in conjunction with the nuclear manufacturing industry, needs to find out what it is that we have lost in expertise and how to recapture it. We built more than 100 reactors in the 1960s and 1970s. There were some delays back then, but they were nothing like the catastrophic ones of today. Particularly, examining what has gone wrong with nuclear building needs to concentrate on welding. Is this an old trade that needs updating? Can we fix some of the human error that has plagued big industrial welding, from nuclear plants to new ships, through automation and AI? Not since the 1960s, I am told by nuclear lobbyists, has the public policy apparatus been so aligned to

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

WOMAN CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT HER HUSBAND’S FRIEND DEAR ABBY: I have a huge crush on my husband’s friend, “Shane.” I think about him daily and fantasize about him every night. He used to come into the place where I work once a month.

I wanted to tell him back then how I felt, but I chickened out.

I recently changed jobs, and he came into where I work now.

I made a point of talking to him but said nothing about how I feel. I’m sure he could tell by the way I was smiling. I went to the races when Shane was racing and wanted to tell him then. My husband was there and went over to talk to him, so I stayed sitting on the bleachers. When my husband returned, he said Shane asked him where I was.

Abby, I have felt this way for two years. My husband and I have been married for seven.

When I’m driving home from work, I fantasize about Shane riding in the car with me. I hurry to get to town hoping I’ll see him at the gas station or passing by. I’m considering contacting him on Messenger. I have never thought about my husband this way. Please give me some advice on what to do. -- OVER THE MOON IN MISSOURI DEAR OVER: Nowhere in your letter did you mention whether your feelings for Shane are reciprocated. If you contact him, what exactly do you plan on telling him -- that you love him?

That you lust for him? Your efforts would be better spent trying to figure out what happened to the excitement in your marriage rather than starting a romance with your husband’s friend.

If you do what you have in mind and Shane doesn’t feel the same way, it will be enormously embarrassing. If he does have similar feelings, your husband will be devastated. The next time you have a fantasy about Shane, I urge you to switch to another channel.

favor nuclear. One of these lobbyists said, “Both houses of Congress are on board, the administration is on board, the regulatory agencies are on board, and public acceptance is greater than it has been in years. But the industry is on its back.”

The issue, to my mind, is not whether we can relearn how to do what we used to do but that there is no mechanism for the utilities to buy and build nuclear plants, whether they are the new generation of small modular reactors now under development or updated, large (about 1,000 megawatts), more traditional light water reactors. No utility can take the risk in the deregulated world. It is too much to ask.

The nation needs a coherent plan whereby a new generation of nuclear power can be built quickly. It has been done in the past, and it can be done again.

I would suggest — as I have suggested over many years — that nuclear needs government safety oversight, proliferation safeguards and approval that a tranche of reactors be built on government sites, financed by the government and sold to commercial consortia to operate.

These needn’t necessarily be utility companies. Wind and solar are being developed by merchant companies in many cases.

There is a national climate crisis, and a national electricity crisis is building. Utilities are having to produce more electricity while giving up coal and gas to do it. Nuclear is the strong third leg of the future electricity stool.

DEAR ABBY: My grandson is 24. He was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome after he graduated from high school. He was first diagnosed with ADHD when he was young, then, years later, as bipolar. Since high school, he spends his time in his bedroom playing video games.

He has no social interactions and doesn’t engage much, if at all, with his two younger brothers.

He also doesn’t get along well with his stepfather.

My daughter, his mother, is desperate for help but has been unable to find it. Most programs are designed for children or are too far away. Even trying to find a counselor locally who specializes in Asperger’s has led to blind alleys.

Where do we go to find help for him? He’s very functional but somewhat naive socially, and my daughter is fearful of him falling in with the wrong crowd. He has become depressed, and after years of turning his nose up at getting help, he actually wants it now. What do we do? -- SEEKING HELP IN TEXAS DEAR SEEKING: Forcing help on a person who isn’t ready usually accomplishes little.

That your grandson is finally willing to accept that he needs help is hopeful. Suggest that your daughter reach out to an organization called AANE, the Asperger/Autism Network, and ask for guidance for her son.

To have questions and concerns addressed and to receive information and resources, she should visit aane.org.

Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Engineering have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to help protect bees from pesticides.

Cory Simon, assistant professor of chemical engineering, and Xiaoli Fern, associate professor of computer science, led the project, which involved

training a machine learning model to predict whether any proposed new herbicide, fungicide or insecticide would be toxic to honey bees based on the compound’s molecular structure.

The findings, featured on the cover of The Journal of Chemical Physics in a special issue, “Chemical Design by Artificial Intelligence,” are important because many fruit, nut, vegetable and seed crops rely on bee

pollination.

Without bees to transfer the pollen needed for reproduction, almost 100 commercial crops in the United States would vanish. Bees’ global economic impact is annually estimated to exceed $100 billion.

“Pesticides are widely used in agriculture, which increase crop yield and provide food security, but pesticides can harm off-target species like bees,” Simon said. “And since insects, weeds, etc. eventually evolve resistance, new pesticides must continually be developed, ones that don’t harm bees.”

Graduate students Ping Yang and Adrian Henle used honey bee toxicity data from pesticide exposure experiments, involving nearly 400 different pesticide molecules, to train an algorithm to predict if a new pesticide molecule would be toxic to honey bees.

“The model represents pesticide molecules by the set of random walks on their molecular graphs,” Yang said.

A random walk is a

mathematical concept that describes any meandering path, such as on the complicated chemical structure of a pesticide, where each step along the path is decided by chance, as if by coin tosses.

Imagine, Yang explains, that you’re out for an aimless stroll along a pesticide’s chemical structure, making your way from atom to atom via the bonds that hold the compound together. You travel in random directions but keep track of your route, the sequence of atoms and bonds that you visit. Then you go out on a different molecule, comparing the series of twists and turns to what you’ve done before.

“The algorithm declares two molecules similar if they share many walks with the same sequence of atoms and bonds,” Yang said. “Our model serves as a surrogate for a bee toxicity experiment and can be used to quickly screen proposed pesticide molecules for their toxicity.”

The National Science Foundation supported this research.

Letters to the Editor Share the Road I am a 64-year-old woman, who wants to get in better shape.

I just had my bicycle tuned up, and plan to start riding soon. I am neither an “enviro-weenie” or a doping Lance Armstrong wannabe.

I have always had a drivers license, insurance and rights, or so I thought. Mr. Reese, are you incapable of sharing the road? I usually pick a back road, but I also think anyone should have the right to ride a bicycle when and where they want. Some just like to get some fresh air, and save a little in gas. Your letter was one of the rudest I have ever read. You made no point, other than you hate bicycles.

JoAnne Beck Coquille No fear I’m reading about the proposed levy to increase the number of Coos County Jail beds from the high 40s to 100150. Some of the problems not mentioned in the article is the lack of staff to prosecute the law breakers.

Our Oregon legislature continues to change laws that protect the criminal and negate their bad choices while harming the hard working, law abiding citizen. Increasing property taxes won’t fix these issues. Cite and release has become the norm in our county.

There’s no fear of punishment.

Scott frasieur Coos Bay An independent mind Let’s celebrate Independence Day by recognizing the importance of the independent mind and the dangers of the dependent mind. We are losing our independence because we are being robbed of our ability to think clearly and independently. What a great time to introduce the book, Battle for the American Mind, by Pete Hegseth.

I appreciate his focus on the mind. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard of a book like this that actually uses the word Mind in the title.

Challenges to our independent mind include drugs, tyrannical government, indoctrination, failing schools, collectivism, progressivism, etc. According to Hegseth, “With American conservatives mostly preoccupied with defending economic freedom and military might, American progressives knew that social control was far more powerful than economic control.

A project set in motion more than one hundred years ago is today leveraged through 16,000 hours of government instruction. The goal of that indoctrination? It’s not about racism, or equality, or even gender. It’s about control of thought and behavior.”

According to Hegseth, progressives diminished reason in American schools, first by removing logic and rhetoric from the curriculum. According to David Hicks, “A classical Chris-

tian education provides a model for the way the mind works.

It makes the students active learners, thinkers, and articulate leaders.”

But, you say you don’t believe in God. Well life is a struggle between Good and Evil, and God and Good are the same thing. Rudyard Kipling said, “Keep your head when all around you are losing theirs and blaming it on you.” Faith, Family and Freedom must save your embattled mind as well as the country itself.

Joan Miles More information sharing needed by The World Our coastal region is blessed to be by located by the mighty Pacific ocean and its proximity to thousands of acres of forests, dunes and rivers. The increase in population and changes in our climate have subjected our communities to pressure on how we allocate these precious resources going forward. In doing so, all sorts of local, state, federal and tribal agencies come into play in coming up with proposals on how to best utilize, protect and preserve these resources for the fishing and the timber industries, hunters, walkers, cyclists, horse riders, birders, rafters, and all other members of our communities.

In order to be an active participant in the decisions made by these agencies, we need to be informed of the proposals they issue affecting our communities, as well as the comment period given to the public. We have many members in our communities whose livelihood depends on fishing. and in jobs connected to timber. The Confederated tribes need forewarning as well on matters affecting their cultural practices. Telling us after the proposal has gone thru several revisions is counter productive.

We need The World to be more vigilant and alert us of governmental proposals as soon as they are proposed so that all members of the community can comment if they so choose.

Finally, I want to request that starting next year The World takes the time to publish a separate calendar for Christmas events in the area.

I learned about the two night fireworks in Coos Bay by word of mouth, and I missed the Fire Department Volunteers Pancake breakfast in Charleston, and fireworks in Gardner. In every other town that I have lived in, the local newspaper publishes one starting with announcing the date when the town Christmas tree will be lit.

Thank you.

HOLY COW! HISTORY: The Pictures That Never Made It Home

By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

The Yankee soldier stares at us with a hard glint in his eyes. Wiry and weathered, he’s ready for action. No name, no date, no unit. Just a young man whose face shows the strain of war.

What makes this photo remarkable is the “971” in faded red ink in the lower-left corner, two empty slots at the top and bottom, and “Alexandria, VA” in period handwriting.

They indicate the Civil War image came from the post office’s Dead Letter Office (DLO).

Postal workers stayed incredibly busy from 1861 to 1865. Some 2.5 million men served in the Union army alone. Many wrote letters home. And the folks there wrote back. Meaning tens of thousands of pieces moved through the mail every day.

But there were logistical headaches. Some soldiers were barely literate. Others had sloppy handwriting. They didn’t always affix adequate postage.

And many letters were improperly addressed. By the time some letters reached their destination, they were so badly marked up by various postmasters that they looked as if they had come through combat themselves.

Whenever one couldn’t be delivered, it wound up in the DLO in Washington.

Operating since 1825, it was a “must-see” stop for D.C. tourists for much of the 19th century, along with the Pension Bureau and Patent Office.

It was so popular it even had a small museum displaying oddities discovered inside letters whose owners were never located, such as a loaded pistol and a human skull.

By the war’s end, 4.5 million pieces of mail had piled up in the DLO. Special clerks examined each one for clues about the addressee that local postmasters had missed. When external examination failed, clerks had authority under a law passed

by Congress to open an envelope to see if the letter contained hints about the recipient’s identity. Those clerks were often women and ordained ministers since it was believed they were more trustworthy when handling sensitive data. They were so skilled at their work that more than 40 percent of DLO letters were eventually delivered.

Soldiers’ letters sometimes contained photos meant for mothers, wives, sweethearts and friends.

They were saved and the pictures were added to the DLO’s mini-museum.

Each soldier’s photo was numbered in red ink and attached to a cardboard display panel with two brass clips. Four rows containing nine pictures each, or 36 per page. It is estimated there were somewhere between 5,000 and 7,500 images in all.

Visitors scanned the pages. If they came upon someone they knew, they got the letter.

The display was such a hit that a special wooden case was built to hold the photo panels. Emotions often bubbled to the surface during the viewing; women frequently sobbed while looking for a lost loved one’s face.

The photos were taken to world fairs, where tens of thousands of attendees saw them. Consider the 1898 Trans-Mississippi and International Exhibition in Omaha, Neb., where a woman spotted an image of her father taken 35 years earlier. (That let-

Images like this one were used to identify dead soldiers in the Civil War. ter was returned to the elderly veteran in Indiana.)

In 1902, another aging veteran claimed the letter he had mailed precisely 40 years earlier!

Veterans’ organizations, such as the Grand Army of the Republic (similar to today’s VFW and American Legion), and newspaper and magazine feature stories were also used to publicize the effort.

A newspaper article reported that 2,000 letters were eventually delivered thanks to the photos.

But thousands more went unclaimed. When the post office moved into its new Washington building in 1911 (now a Trump hotel, by the way), the DLO went with it. Its little museum, however, didn’t.

With the Civil War becoming a distant memory, fewer people asked to see the pictures. The display was put in storage. It was decided to sell the images in the 1940s. (Nobody knows what happened to the letters that inspired the display. They seem to have simply vanished over the decades.)

After World War II, one group of 300 DLO photos wound up in a New York bookseller’s hands. They were later sold to the George Eastman Museum. A second batch was acquired by a Sons of Union Veterans commander. Those images were eventually auctioned in the 1980s.

Where did the Dead Letter Office photos originate? We’ll never know. The identity of the soldiers shown in them, or who they intended to receive their photographs, went to the grave with them. Maybe that’s why they glare at us unhappily nearly 160 years later. In their own small way, their pictures were also a casualty of that saddest of all wars.

Nooks and Waterfront split final doubleheader The World Host South Coos and North Coos split a pair of thrillers in their final American Legion doubleheader against each other, both games coming down to the end.

South Coos rallied to win the opener 9-8, scoring the winning run in the bottom of the seventh.

North Coos won the nightcap, which went eight innings, 6-5.

The teams split their six games this summer, all close, with

South Coos winning three of the four league contests.

South Coos had lost five of six heading into the doubleheader, dropping two games to the Roseburg Loggers, 16-6 and 12-2; splitting a pair with Three Rivers of Florence with an 18-10 win and an 11-5 loss; and falling twice to Roseburg Pepsi, 9-1 and 12-2. The Nooks had one more nonleague doubleheader on Sunday against North Douglas (results were not available by press time).

In the first game between the

two Bay Area squads, both Joe Herbert and Colton Siewell went 4-for-5 with three runs for South Coos. Landon Croff had two doubles and three RBIs. Luke Parry also had two hits, a run and an RBI and Ryder Easton had a single and a double. Cobin Bouska had a two-run double.

Siewell and Kris Campbell combined to strike out 10 hitters with Campbell pitching two innings of scoreless relief to pick up the victory.

Hunter Wheeling had three hits, including a triple, scored a

run and drove in two for North Coos. Luke Wheeling had a hit, a run and an RBI. Jalen Riddle also drove in a run and Knoll Gederos, Peyton Forrester, Bryant Wicks and Jack Burgmeier each scored once.

In the nightcap, Sam Mickelson had two hits, including a double, and drove in two runs for North Coos.

Luke Wheeling had a double, a run and an RBI. Carter Brock had a hit and two runs and Riddle, Burgmeier and Nelson also scored. Luke Wheeling picked

up the win in relief of Aidan Nelson after taking the loss in the first game.

Herbert and Siewell both had two hits, including a double, for South Coos and Herbert scored a run.

Jake Sproul had a single and scored twice and Bouska and Easton had the other two runs.

Landon Croff pitched into the eighth inning, striking out 11 and allowing just five hits. He was credited with the loss. Sproul struck out one while recording the final two outs.

State sees slight rebound in number of high school officials

By JERRY ULMER OSAAtoday

Oregon officiating associations saw a slight uptick in registrations in 2021-22 as they remain hopeful of recouping the losses from the previous, COVIDplagued year.

The state had 3,023 registered officials last year, an increase of 471 from 2020-21 but still down 446 from where the number stood before the pandemic in 2019-20.

“I think it will be a slow rebound,” said Jack Folliard, executive director of the Oregon Athletic Officials Association. “I can’t see it jumping immediately back to the numbers we had.”

What happens in 2022-23 will go a long way toward revealing how much the associations can bounce back from the latest decline.

“We really have no way of knowing what people are thinking about out there,” Folliard said. “The first clue will be the fall season.”

The shortage of officials

caused many contests to be rescheduled and even canceled last year. It forced officials into extra duty, many of them taking on multiple assignments in the same day.

Overworking officials is a primary concern going forward, according to Folliard.

“Our officiating age is older.

The average age goes up almost every year,” he said. “Yet we’re asking the officials to work more games in a week. In basketball, that’s tough to work three, four, five games a week.

“And same with football and soccer, because you have a big field, and we’re having to double up our officials working a 4 o’clock football game, followed by a varsity game at 7. It’s really tough for officials who are older.”

The worry is that officials will quit due to overwork.

“The more we work them, the more people get injured, or they say, ‘I just can’t do that many games, and maybe I’ll have to retire,’” Folliard said.

Associations are hopeful that

a boost in pay not only would aid in retention of officials, but provide incentive in recruiting new members.

The fee schedule – which is in the final year of a four-year agreement with the OSAA in 2022-23 – calls for football and basketball officials to receive $73.50 for each 6A, 5A and 4A varsity contest.

The payments drop from there, depending on sport, classification, size of crew and level of contest.

The OSAA fee review committee is preparing a proposal for the next four-year time block to present to the OSAA delegate assembly on Oct. 10. Folliard said considering inflation, and that officials make “well less than minimum wage” when their hours are factored, increased compensation is critical to keep them.

“We’re seeking significant increases to catch up and try to attract people,” he said. “Just basic economics. It probably won’t solve the problem overnight. It just depends on how much. But

money does talk.”

Officials are paid by the schools through the OSAA. “I really do think the big problem we have is convincing school districts that athletics is so very important for the education of the students, for the communities, for everything, that they’re just going to have to spend more money on it,” Folliard said.

Before the pandemic, officiating associations nationwide already were dealing with a decadelong crisis in attrition.

In Oregon, the number had steadily declined from 4,412 in 2010-11 to 3,469 in 201920, a 21.4-percent loss. In that span, the biggest losses were in wrestling (34.6 percent), softball (32.4) and baseball (31.3).

Those interested in officiating can find information at newofficials.org.

Folliard said that the NFHS has increased its efforts to attract new officials through advertisements, but most of the successful recruiting comes by word of mouth.

“It’s their buddy or friend

saying, ‘I’m having a good time, why don’t you give it a shot?’”

Folliard said.

The new boiler is moved into the North Bend Pool. The boiler is a major piece of equipment needed before the pool can re-open.

West Coast Contractors, Inc., and their sub-contractor, CR Combustion, Inc., recently delivered the new Riello Array high-efficiency condensing boiler to the North Bend Municipal Pool as part of the major infrastructure upgrade that is underway.

The Riello Array is a pre-packaged boiler plant, the new standard in boiler efficiency, redundancy

and reliability. Each Array boiler utilizes multiple heat exchanger modules, providing high turndown and multiple boiler redundancy in one packaged unit. A single Array boiler provides superior uptime reliability that is only found in larger boiler plants and multi boiler systems.

The boiler was paid for with grant money from the Judith Ann Mogan Founda-

tion as part of the Phase I Contributed photos repairs and upgrades, which Several chess players came to an outdoor tournament at LaVerne Park to compete and have fun in the sun. included removal and replacement of the existing 1984 boiler and 1956 pump and filtration system.

The pump and filtration system were original to the pool, which opened in November 1957. The filtration system is still on order and is necessary to re-open the pool, which is slated for November 2022.

Artist Resilience Program awards announced Saturday was all fun and games at LaVerne Park as kids and adults participated in a chess tournament at the park. Between rounds was badminton, Frisbee, squirt guns and fun in the river. And with any outdoor event, there were hot dogs.

Coquille artists Randall Tooth received a grant to continue his leatherwork.

Recovery grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 will be awarded to 485 artists representing the diversity of Oregon through the Oregon Arts Commission’s Artist Resilience Program, a partnership with Oregon Community Foundation and the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation.

The partnership, which began with 2020’s Artist Relief Program, invests an additional $1.5 million in support for artists’ recovery from the pandemic, bringing the total investment to $2.75 million. The average award is $2,500.

“We are incredibly grateful to Oregon Community Foundation and the Miller Foundation for their dedication to helping us sustain our artists through these difficult times,” said Brian Rogers, executive director of the Oregon Arts Commission. “In reaching Oregon’s artists, we know we are not only supporting these individuals financially, but also enabling them to continue their creative careers and enliven the cultural environments of Oregon.”

The purpose of the Artist Resilience Program is to provide funding to Oregon artists who have experienced financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic due to loss of income, loss of opportunity or other unanticipated impacts to their artistic practice. The funding is intended to help sustain the artistic practice of professional artists.

A total of 600 eligible applications reporting close to $9.1 million in

revenue loss were received.

A double review process engaged 47 peer reviewers representing the diversity and geographic regions of the state who reviewed and evaluated applications based on published review criteria: professional artistic practice; impact of cancellations and loss of revenue on artistic practice; and need and access to other resources. A geographic distribution model ensured artists were funded in every region of the state. Artists from all but five Oregon counties applied; at least one award went to every county from which there were applications. An average of 80% of applications was funded from each of the state’s counties.

“In times of crisis, artists help us make sense of our world and stay connected to one another,” said Martha Richards, executive director of the Miller Foundation. “The Miller Foundation stands with Oregon artists in this difficult time because we recognize the critical roles they play in our communities and our lives – they are the foundation of our state’s arts ecosystem.”

“Oregon Community Foundation is thrilled to partner in this second wave of support for artists,” added Jerry Tischleder, Oregon Community Foundation’s program officer for arts and culture. “We recognize that independent and freelance artists are vital to the recovery of our communities, bringing hope and inspiration to the world while using their creativity to help process the collec-

tive trauma, grief and loss we’ve all experienced over the last two years.”

The awarded artists represent a wide array of artistic disciplines including: literature (creative non-fiction, fiction, play writing and poetry); dance (including choreography); music (composition and music performance); theatre and performance art; visual arts (crafts, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media and new media); design arts; folk & traditional arts; and media arts.

Coos County artists awarded were: Kricket Caffery, Lakeside, Theater, $3,300 Lisa Hawthorne, Coquille, Design Arts, $1,100 Sierra Kuntz, BANDON, Design Arts, $3,700 Allen Mautner, Coquille, Music, $3,500 Katherine Moody, Bandon, Music, $1,100 Myrna Paige, Coos Bay, Visual Arts, $1,100 Andrea Pellicani, COOS BAY, Visual Arts, $1,100 Randall Tooth, COQUILLE, Folklife/Traditional Arts, $3,800

At 6 p.m. on Friday, July 29, the North Bend Public Library will close the book on the summer reading program with a campfire singalong at Simpson Park.

The campfire will be located near the playground at the southern end of the park.

Local musician and singalong enthusiast Gail Elber will lead attendees in songs from the book Rise Up Singing, a compilation of over one thousand songs.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own copies, and there will be copies available to share. An assistant with a

clipboard will write down requested songs and page numbers.

All ages are welcome. Attendees should bring their own blankets, camp chairs, acoustic instruments and bug spray, and those worried about singing in public can be assured that there aren’t solos in singalongs, and enthusiasm is all that is required.
