Ofﬁcers justiﬁed in shooting that killed man BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Two Coos County law enforcement officials who shot and killed a Coos Bay man identified as a murder suspect were justified in discharging their weapons, District Attorney Paul Frasier said Wednesday. Frasier said the Oregon State Police spent close to a month reviewing the case, which includes

interviewing the six ofﬁcers at the Global Inn, when the shooting took place June 14. During the incident, police were trying to arrest Matthew Tyler Michel, 37, on a felony warrant and also wanted to ask him questions about the murder of Amber Townsend. Townsend was found shot and killed on Cape Arago Highway on June 11, and police had identiﬁed Michel as a suspect in the case. Frasier said once they learned

Michel’s name, they searched into his records and learned he had a criminal record and was on felony probation. When his probation ofﬁcer was contacted, police learned a warrant had been issued for Michel’s arrest. Michel was known to be homeless and had no known address, so Coos Bay police drove through parking lots of hotels on Highway 101, looking for a vehicle identiﬁed as linked to the Townsend

murder. When police found the vehicle at the Global Inn, they talked to the manager, who said Michel had been staying there, in different rooms, for about a month. Frasier said that’s when officers came up with a plan to try to get Michel out of his room. Six officers, three from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office and three from the Coos Bay Police Department, went to the hotel.

The plan was to have Detective Aaron Whittenburg with the sheriff’s office go to the door because he was in plain clothes. Sgt. Dan Henthorne with the Coos Bay Police was standing about six feet away in case something went wrong and Sgt. Sean Sanborn, with the sheriff’s office, another few feet behind. Deputy Jonathan Boswell and Coos Bay officers Det. Ken Labrousse and Bobbie Collier were Please see SHOOTING Page A11

Old-fashioned police work ties Michel to Townsend murder BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Amber Townsend murder case remains open, for now, but District Attorney Paul Frasier said the only suspect in the incident is Matthew Tyler Michel, who was killed by police June 14. Townsend was found murdered three days earlier, when she was shot while walking down Cape Arago Highway. At the time of the incident, Frasier said police had no suspect and asked the public to provide any video they might have taken on Cape Arago Highway that Saturday morning. Linking Michel to the case was the result of what Frasier called, “old-fashioned police work, shoe leather.” Frasier explained after ofﬁcers found Townsend’s body, they quickly came to the conclusion she was shot by a shotgun and very likely from inside a vehicle. Frasier said the evidence of the scene indicated a shotgun shooting slugs was used because police found wadding related to shotgun. Since there were no pellets around the area or in Townsend, ofﬁcers determined slugs were used. Frasier said the absence of spent shells were found, they believed Please see MURDER Page A11

COVID steadies, Children take their turn making public art remains high Partnership leads across Oregon to art project in downtown Coos Bay

COVID-19 may be a distant memory to many, but in Oregon it remains a danger. According to the Oregon Health Authority, 21 counties in the state are in the high-transmission level as the Omicron subvariant BA5 becomes the dominant variant in the state. Dr. Dean Sidelinger, the state epidemiologist, hosted a press briefing Wednesday. He said case counts have leveled to around 1,400 confirmed cases a day, while test positivity rates have climbed to 13.9%. “We know our reported cases are not capturing the full picture because many people are taking at-home tests and not reporting the results and many others are not testing,” Sidelinger said. “Data in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest region indicates there are high levels of transmissions. On July 19, the CDC indicated 21 counties in Oregon are at the CDC high transmission level, indicating high levels of COVID-19 and increased stress on hospitals.” Sidelinger said the Omicron subvariants BA4 and BA5 account for almost all the transmission in the state, with BA5 becoming the dominant strain While testing is not accurately tracking COVID due to a lack of reporting, Sidelinger said OHA is continuing to work with OHSU to do wastewater sampling across the state to get a better picture of COVID in Oregon. “OHA monitors the spread of the virus from samplings collected through the sewage systems,” Sidelinger said. “Wastewater monitoring shows high levels of COVID-19 in our communities statewide.” Please see COVID Page A11

Dozens of children took a break from the summer fun to make art that will add to an inﬂux of public art in the community. The children came to Coos Head Food Co-Op on Thursday to participate in a project coordinated by the co-op and the Coos Watershed Association. The young artists painted different animals in the Coos watershed and the paintings will be permanently displayed on the fence near the co-op. Jamar Ruff, community organizer with the co-op, said mixing art with education was the goal Thursday. “We were looking at where we wanted and how to have some art and make it educational as well,” he said as he helped supervise the event. We were inspired by the school in Elkton, where they have ﬁsh painted by the students.” Ruff said he decided to partner with the watershed association, and the idea took off from there. “It’s happening today, and we’ve had all the kids,” he said. By 2 p.m., midway through the event, Ruff estimated 50 children had come out to paint at the event. Alexa Carlton, outreach and marketing manager with the watershed association, was thrilled to see the turnout. “We really love the idea of getting a bunch of Coos Watershed creatures up as artwork,” she said. “Every piece was chosen because it is something living in our watershed.” Please see ART Page A3

Ill-fated ‘Into the Wild’ adventurer was victim of unfortunate timing, Oregon State study suggests BY STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Article

The ill-fated “Into the Wild” adventurer chronicled by author Jon Krakauer and film director Sean Penn may have been able to cross the river that turned him back had he tried a day earlier or later, research by Oregon State University suggests. Three decades after Christopher McCandless died in the Alaska wilderness, hydrologist David Hill and water resources graduate student Christina Aragon of the OSU College of Engineering conclude that McCandless was thwarted by high flows in the Teklanika River because of an intense, short-lived runoff event. “Mr. McCandless had unfortunate timing,” said Hill, a professor of civil engineering. “The specific day of his attempted crossing – July 5, 1992 – coincided with a large amount of rainfall-driven runoff. Had his attempt occurred a bit on either side of that day, the conditions might have been more favorable and the outcome may have been different for him.” Findings were published in Frontiers in Earth Science. How much water flows in a stream at any given time is determined by a combination of many factors, Hill said, including precipitation, snowmelt and evaporation, as well as infiltration of water into the soil. “Those and many other complex processes determine the places water goes, how much of it goes where, and when it goes,” he said. “The two most significant drivers of streamflow are the patterns of precipitation and temperature.” Using all of the relevant data they could obtain involving weather, land cover and elevation, Hill and Aragon applied a collection of computer models that have been widely used in snowy, high-latitude locations including Alaska. The goal was to compare the 1992 hydrology of the Alaska Range to other years and the July 5, 1992, Teklanika River conditions to the days before and after. “David and Christina’s paper

The bus famed Into the Wild explorer Christopher McCandless lived in while he was exploring the Alaska wilderness is seen in this photo. is fascinating to me for deeply personal reasons,” Krakauer said. “Over the three decades that have passed since Chris McCandless perished in Alaska, I’ve been eager to learn as much as possible about his experience from the moment he ‘walked into the wild’ in April 1992 until his death inside Bus 142 some four months later. This paper sheds a little more light about a key event during that period – his attempt to return to civilization halfway through his Alaska adventure.” McCandless had hiked west along the Stampede Trail near Healy, Alaska, forded the Teklanika on April 28 and lived in Bus 142, an abandoned Fairbanks city transit vehicle, 8.6 miles from the river. Several weeks later when he sought to leave the wilderness, he found the river impassable, returned to the bus and on Aug. 18 died of starvation. “The spring snowmelt in 1992 was delayed, which kept ﬂows in the Teklanika relatively low and made it possible for Mr. McCandless to cross the river and reach Bus 142 at the end

of April,” Aragon said. “When the snowmelt finally happened, it happened fast. After that, the river got higher or lower on roughly a weekly basis depending on rain in the region. Streamflow in summer 1992 was more variable than usual because of the quick snowmelt followed by periods of heavy rain.” For the 1992 water year – the period of Oct. 1, 1991, through Sept. 30, 1992 – the Teklanika watershed received just under 27 inches of precipitation, 20% greater than average. Also in 1992, mean daily temperature was a month slower than usual in rising above freezing, and summer rainfall was more intense than it normally is. Exactly what that means in terms of streamflow and river hydraulics is hard to know, the researchers note, partly because of the difficulties associated with river monitoring in the nation’s largest, wildest state. “Alaska is a challenge in terms of long-term gauging datasets,” Aragon said. “Remoteness, harshness and sheer scale mean many river basins are not gauged with the same coverage as

bus, ﬁnally prompting the state of Alaska to enlist the National Guard to airlift it from the Stampede Trail with a Chinook helicopter on June 18, 2020. The 1946 International Harvester model K-5 is now on display at the University of Alaska Museum of the North in Fairbanks. “Although the paper can’t determine with certainty whether McCandless would have been able to safely exit the wild if he’d tried to cross the Teklanika River again at a later date, it raises poignant questions that are worthy of consideration,” Krakauer said. “Perhaps even more importantly, the paper conveys valuable information about the dynamics of Alaska’s rivers – the fording of which has always struck me as one of the most dangerous aspects of backcountry travel in Alaska, based on close calls I personally had on numerous trips into Brooks Range, the Alaska Range and the Coast Mountains of Southeast Alaska. David and Christina’s paper might help other adventurers avoid calamity going forward.”

those in the lower 48. The U.S. Geological Survey maintained a gauge on the Teklanika River for 10 consecutive years, but that ended in 1974.” Though the researchers don’t have access to all the information necessary to say what the actual patterns of water elevation and velocity were at the Stampede Trail crossing of the Teklanika River in July 1992, the modeling techniques shed a great deal of light on the main driver of what makes a river fast and impassable: water quantity. “Connecting relative changes in streamﬂow to hydraulic estimates of how velocity and stage vary with streamﬂow is a useful step toward understanding the ups and downs of the Teklanika River,” said Hill. In the years following McCandless’ death and the “Into the Wild” book and movie, two hikers died in the river trying to visit Bus 142, which had been hauled into the wilderness in the 1950s so workers could live in it while upgrading a route to an antimony mine.

The animals being painted included salmon, crab, deer and Carlton’s favorite, the mayfly. “We’re pleasantly surprised,” she said while watching the children paint. “It worked out great. Any chance we can teach science through art, it’s a great opportunity.” Ruff said he impressed with the knowledge the children brought as they came to paint. “Surprisingly, a lot of the kids came out and said, ‘that’s a mayfly or that’s a salmon,’” he said. Carlton said after the painting event Thursday, the artwork would be treated to be safe from the weather and then permanently attached to the fence separating the co-op from its parking lot.

Mid-summer heat wave approaching | TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2022

An extensive mid-summer heat wave is expected across Oregon and throughout the Paciﬁc Northwest next week. National Weather Service Meteorologist John Bumgardner in Portland said high pressure slowly reestablishing over the Northwest will bring in the hot conditions. “Late Sunday we will have a very weak low-level ﬂow and we won’t have down sloping winds, which will allow temperatures to warm up quite a bit, likely to into 90s and possibly to the 100s, es-

pecially in urbanized areas during the week ahead,” he said. Relief from the heat will be slow in coming. “Wednesday and Thursday likely will be the hottest days,” Bumgardner said. “It will start to gradually cool down to the ow 90s possibly by Saturday.” The Oregon Coast would likely be one area to escape the heat. Day time temperatures from Astoria to Brookings will range into the upper 60s and 70s. ~Dangerous conditions~ For those people living and working inland, the potential for dehydration, heat exhaustion

and heatstroke will increase dramatically, especially for those participating in rigorous exercise and manual labor, experts warn. People are urged to drink plenty of ﬂuids and take breaks from the heat when possible. “The risk for heat-related illness will increase substantially,” AccuWeather Senior Storm Warning Meteorologist Joe Bauer said. Temperatures hovered near average since the start of June in the region, but much warmer weather will bring an end to that trend next week, according to the latest forecast from AccuWeather. It was a little over a year ago

that the Northwest set all-time record highs when a blistering heat wave evolved in late June 2021. During that historic weather event, the Oregon state record of 119, previously set at multiple locations, was tied at Pelton Dam, located about 90 miles southeast of Portland. Temperatures reached 116 degrees in portions of Columbia County on June 29, 2021. It was even hotter in Washington state, with the record set on June 29, 2021, with a high of 120 in the small community of Hanford in south-central Washington.

~Stretch of hot temperatures~ While highs may fall short of records in most locations during the upcoming heat wave in the Northwest, temperatures will average 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in a stretch of ﬁve to seven days and during what is typically the hottest part of the year, according to Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist. Heat will build later this weekend into early next week in the Northwest following a slight dip in temperature from Friday to Saturday. Temperatures are likely to reach the highest levels of the summer so far.

Gas prices slowly declining in Oregon gasoline and diesel, so pump prices are impacted by crude prices on the global markets. On average, about 53% of what we pay for in a gallon of gasoline is for the price of crude oil, 12% is reﬁning, 21% distribution and marketing, and 15% are taxes, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Crude prices remain higher than a year ago due to tight global supplies. A year ago, crude was around $74 per barrel compared to $97 today. Demand for gasoline in the U.S. rose ahead of the July 4th holiday from 8.92 million b/d to 9.41 million b/d. Total domestic gas stocks decreased by 2.5 million bbl. for the week ending July 1, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Typically, an increase in demand and a decrease in supply would put upward pressure on pump prices; however, falling oil prices have contributed to lower pump prices. Quick stats All 50 states and the District of Columbia have lower prices now than a week

STAFF REPORT Drivers in Oregon are seeing the ﬁrst signiﬁcant price break in several months at gasoline stations. The global price of crude oil has fallen about 20% in the last month, putting downward pressure on gas prices. All 50 states are seeing decreases at the pumps, despite an increase in demand for gasoline. For the week, the national average for regular drops 14 cents to $4.66 a gallon. The Oregon average loses nine cents to $5.38. “Crude oil reached a recent high of $122.11 per barrel on June 8, and today is trading at the recent low of $97 per barrel,” AAA Oregon/Idaho Public Affairs Director Marie Dodds said. “The drop in price is driving lower pump prices, even with a rise in demand seen ahead of the robust July 4th travel period.” AAA projected record car travel for the holiday, with 42 million Americans driving to their Independence Day destinations. Crude oil is the main ingredient in

ago. Texas (-19 cents) has the largest weekly drop. Hawaii (-1 cent) has the smallest. California ($6.06) is the most expensive state in the nation and is the only state to ever have an average above $6 a gallon. There are nine states, including Oregon, with averages at or above $5, down from 10 states a week ago. All states have averages at or above $4 a gallon. The cheapest gas in the nation is in Georgia ($4.16) and South Carolina ($4.16). No states have averages below $3 a gallon. For the 79th week in a row, no state has an average below $2 a gallon. Oregon is one of 46 states and the District of Columbia with lower prices now than a month ago. The national average is 36 cents less and the Oregon average is 16 cents less than a month ago. Oregon has the 5th-smallest monthly decrease in the nation. Indiana (-52 cents) has the largest monthly drop. Utah (+16 cents) has the largest month-over-month gain. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have higher prices now than a year ago, and all have a current average that’s at least $1.23 a gallon higher than a year

ago. The national average is $1.51 more, and the Oregon average is $1.71 more than a year ago. This is the 6th-largest yearly increase in the nation. Arizona (+$1.86) has the biggest yearly increase. Georgia (+$1.23) has the smallest yearover-year increase. West Coast The West Coast region continues to have the most expensive pump prices in the nation with all seven states in the top 10. This is typical for the West Coast as this region tends to consistently have fairly tight supplies, consuming about as much gasoline as is produced. In addition, this region is located relatively far from parts of the country where oil drilling, production and reﬁning occurs, so transportation costs are higher. And environmental programs in this region add to the cost of production, storage and distribution. California is the most expensive state for the 77th week in a row with Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, Nevada, and Washington rounding out the top six. Arizona is 10th.

Troubling videos were newsworthy By DAVID RUPKALVIS On Wednesday, District Attorney Paul Frasier held a press conference announcing two officers who shot and killed murder suspect Matthew Tyler Michel were justified in their actions. A large part of the evidence that helped Frasier make his decision was body cam videos from two officers in the hotel room when the shooting occurred. During the press conference, Frasier showed both videos to the press. He also announced the two videos would be released on the district attorney’s website to show the public one of the reasons he decided the shooting was justified. After the press conference, I wrote up a short story about the decision and put it on our website at www.theworldlink.com. I also made the decision to post both videos to our website at the same time. For the record, I and I alone made that decision. I later talked to my boss about it, but the original decision was mine alone. Not surprisingly, almost as soon as the story went live and it was shared on Facebook, some people began questioning the decision I made because the videos are graphic and show a man being shot. They don’t show him dying, but there is no doubt the incidents in the video led to his death. People on Facebook said we should be ashamed for showing the videos, and several things much worse. Many asked me to take them down immediately. I actually considered taking them down because, yes, they are troubling. When I first started in this industry decades ago, we would not have posted them. But the reality is the world had changed, and therefore the news media has changed, too. I left the videos up for several reasons. The biggest is they show the community what led to the shooting and what information Frasier used to make the decision that the shooting was justified. But there was more to my thinking. No. 1, the videos were made public before I posted them on our website. The district attorney’s office released them about an hour before we went live. In addition, other news media was at the press conference and still others had asked to talk to Frasier about the incident. It was highly likely those organizations were

HOLY COW! HISTORY: Mussolini and Those Tardy Trains David Rupkalvis going to show the videos as part of their coverage. If I had been the only person with the videos and the only person who had to ability to share them, I might have held off. But the reality is the videos were public before we posted them and were going to be public by others afterward. In addition, when we and other local media reported about the police shootings in June, many people went on social media demanding to see the videos, claiming the police were covering up a murder when they weren’t immediately released. You can’t have it both ways on social media. You can’t demand videos be made public and then demand the videos be taken down when what they show is offensive. All of that went into my decision-making process. But the over riding factor was I felt then and still feel today that the videos are newsworthy. I can try to describe what they show in words, but watching them is the only way to truly understand what happened in the seconds between the time police went through that door and the shots were fired. As an editor and reporter, I have always tried to show a fair representation of the communities I cover. In some cases, that means showing troubling, graphic videos that can be offensive. In others, it might mean a feel-good story on a student at a local school. We try to tell all sides of our community, and in doing so, we have to make difficult decisions about what is and isn’t news. In this case, those two videos, as graphic as they are, were news.

Think quick: What comes to mind when you hear the name Benito Mussolini? Bad guy. Bellicose. Bald. The man who styled himself Il Duce (The Leader) was all those. And more. Yet 77 years after he was shot and hanged upside down before an angry mob in the ruins of a bombed-out Milan gas station, one remnant of his legacy still lingers. “He made the trains run on time.” But did he really? Viewed from the 21st century, the father of fascism looks like a cartoon character. Big-chested, big-jawed, big talker, a man able to strut while sitting down. He had a thing for balconies, where he loved haranguing cheering crowds for hours. It was easy to draw huge crowds when attendance was mandatory, and cheering was “encouraged” by the Blackshirts, street thugs loyal only to the big guy himself. But in the 1920s and ’30s, Mussolini was viewed by some in the United States and Europe as the face of the future, a powerful figure who took bold action and got things done. As the world sank into the grip of the Great Depression, many people at home and abroad wondered if Mussolini personified things to come. And his claim to fame, the one thing that stood head and shoulders above all others was, “He made the trains run on time.” From the minute the first steam engine chugged into Italy,

Italian crack trains on the main lines cover the distances with minute precision and according to schedule. … Special policemen do service on all the lines and are present to prevent theft or disorder.” Did you catch the “special policemen” reference? That was the Blackshirts again, making sure Italians stayed in line even while on the move. Whenever the disappearance of personal freedom in Italy was mentioned, the answer was always the same: “The trains are running on time!” What about the dictator’s aggressive foreign policy? “But the trains are running on time!” It was the trains, always the trains, as if that one achievement made everything else OK. And so it went until Mussolini teamed up with a neighbor and unleashed World War II. Then the trains brought in hundreds of thousands of German troops, eventually leading to Italy’s military defeat and Mussolini’s downfall and death. Still, whenever Mussolini’s name comes up more than 75 years later, someone always adds, “But remember, he made the trains run on time.” Except, of course, that he didn’t. ABOUT THE WRITER J.

Better Business Bureau Outlines Investment Fraud Tactics Consumers Should be Aware of In just the first quarter of this year, consumers have reportedly lost over $672 million dollars to investment fraud. Last year, consumers reported $1,679 million in losses according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). There is no denying that investment fraud is rampant. “Research shows that education and educational interventions can play a strong role in increasing consumers’ ability to recognize and avoid potential frauds,” said Gerri Walsh, President of the FINRA Investor Education Foundation. “By knowing about the scams that are out there, how they operate, and the red flags of fraud, you can better identify and avoid fraudulent situations.”

its rail system was “challenged.” Italians never developed the iron discipline that American, British, and German rail barons brought to the Iron Horse. When World War I ended, Italy’s railways were in shambles. Tracks were in disrepair, and timetables were a joke. Then Mussolini burst onto the scene, bellowing that he would make everything right — including the country’s chaotic rail service. Soon people were saying over and over, “The trains are running on time.” But did they really? Sort of. Like all dictators everywhere, Mussolini knew the value of good propaganda. And he made sure he got lots of it. His minions cranked out miles and miles of press releases trumpeting his achievements. Mussolini did indeed spend money and effort on improving rail beds and imposing a certain degree of order on Italy’s rail lines. But it was almost entirely focused on those used by foreign visitors. Meaning they went home and reported the miracle Mussolini was making. Consider this glowing headline from a 1923 story that ran in American newspapers: “Punctuality Marks Italian Train Service.” The article reported, “The spirit of discipline which the Mussolini government brought with it is no more concretely marked than on the railroads. … Italian trains now run on time since the advent of Italy’s young dictator to power. The

The Investment Fraud Formula Investment fraud consists of false promises and elaborate success stories to entice people to invest their money in a phony scheme. Nowadays, it often begins with a message from a supposed friend via social media raving about their significant returns with only a minimal investment. After being persuaded to open the account, they often send fake screenshots or reports showing the investment producing great returns. The problems arise when the victim tries to withdraw funds and is asked to pay high, unexpected fees. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there – they continue to make financial demands using elaborate excuses such as account upgrades, taxes, dues, etc. This process continues until the victim realizes they are being

scammed and the person on the other end actually hacked their friend’s social media account. Who is impacted the most? Most surprising are the demographics associated with investment scams. People who are more financially literate, college-educated and self-reliant are at higher risk since they tend to be the prime target. While research shows older consumers lose more money, younger victims are more susceptible since they are targeted at a higher rate. Cryptocurrency topped the list of forms of payment required, and social media was the top contact method – further confirming the demographic trends. According to Better Business Bureau Institute for Marketplace Trust and the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, these five persuasion tactics are often associated with investment fraud. 1. Phantom Riches The idea of wealth entices the investor. It starts with a life-changing opportunity to invest and receive a substantial return with little to no risk. However, return and risk go together. The higher the risk, the higher probability of return. 2. Source Credibility Many people portray themselves as subject experts, giving investors a false sense of security. Therefore, verifying a financial expert is imperative in avoiding fraudulent activity. Check with FINRA.org and BBB.org on financial providers. 3. Social Consensus

When a group agrees that an opportunity is worth investing in, many people will follow the group without questioning the validity of the investment. A friend, family member or colleague might be honest, but it doesn’t mean they have a deeper understanding of investing. 4. Reciprocity A person feels obligated to invest because of receiving a gift or meal to hear about an opportunity. While many legitimate companies offer gifts or dinners to entice people to listen to a pitch, don’t feel obligated to invest. 5. Scarcity The feeling of missing an opportunity because of time or limited supply can make a person think emotionally and not rationally while making a hasty decision. If presented with a limited time or supply, be cautious. Scarcity is a tactic to make people react quickly before considering the pros and cons. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) says when investing wisely, you start with your goals, evaluate your comfort zone for risk, create an emergency fund, and pay off high-interest credit card debts. Research any investment opportunity and look at diverse options so you don’t have all your eggs in just one basket. There are very rarely quick or risk-free ways to make money. Investing takes time, research, and professional guidance.

Bandon Dunes Golf Resort has become a major stopping point for the United States Golf Association national championship tournaments. Since 2006, Bandon Dunes has hosted seven national championship events for the USGA with the winners pictured above. Beginning Monday, Bandon Dunes was again at the center of the golf world with the U.S. Amateur being played at the courses.

Dolphin Playhouse to host Salute to Unforgettable Songs Salute to Unforgettable Songs, the Dolphin Players’ annual summer revue featuring songs from Broadway and film, returns to the Dolphin Playhouse on August 5, celebrating the Playhouse’s 10th birthday. This year’s salute features the usual mixture of veterans and newcomers singing a collection of songs that are or will be unforgettable to the audience. Featured songs include “Hey, Look Me Over,” “Unforgettable,” ’Till There Was You,” “Nine to Five,” “Old Man River,” and the salute features songs from 80 years of musicals, including Les Miserables, Wicked, Sideshow, South Pacific, Annie, Jekyll & Hyde, Into the Woods, Pirates of Penzance and The Jungle Book. Two singers, Kerry Oxford and Neville Cordell, have performed in every Salute since the series opened in 2015, as has Musical Director Luanne May. Amelia and Mallory Edd, Kathleen Zappelli, and Barbara Booth Nixon are regular company members, and Alex and Toby Dresser, Milan Ishihara, Jen Shaw, Darren Dirk, and Sheldon Edd have all been part of previous salutes. The salute family is happy to welcome Stacy Rose, Julia Benson, Rhys Pembroke, Lily and Gabriel Dresser to round out the cast. Rose also will be playing the flute for some numbers. Jen Shaw, Theresa Erskine, and Julia Benson serve as choreographers, and Alice Carlson co-directs the production. The August 6 performance is Pay What You Can, as is always the first Saturday of Dolphin Playhouse productions. Committed to the belief that everyone should be able to share theater, the Dolphin Players established a tradition when the Playhouse opened in 2012 of providing one performance per production in which admission is by donation only. This is a great option for families and people on fixed incomes. Masks are recommended, but not required, and there is no vaccination requirement for this show. During the COVID break, improvements were made to the theater’s ventilation system, increasing safety and comfort. Salute to Unforgettable Songs performances are August 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14, with curtain at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sundays. Regular admission is $10, with seniors and students admitted for $8, and children under 12 admitted for $5.

As a group, older pedestrians are more frail, walk more slowly and are at increased risk of falling while walking.

New research shows road treatments could help elderly travel safely STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Article

Research by the Oregon State University College of Engineering and Portland State University suggests a trio of roadway treatments would enable people age 65 and older to travel on foot more safely. The study is important because older pedestrians are among the most likely to be killed in traffic accidents, according to the National Safety Council. In the United States in 2020 there were 709 pedestrian fatalities in the 65-74 age group – 20% of total road-user deaths in that age bracket. The project used data from Oregon collisions but is likely applicable in other areas, and it provides a framework for jurisdictions to develop their own safety recommendations, said David Hurwitz of the OSU College of Engineering. What crash data reveals Hurwitz and Monsere, whose collaborative background includes a recent update of the Safety Investigation Manual for the Oregon Department of Transportation, combed four years of Oregon crash data for locations where older pedestrians were over-represented. “Motor vehicle crashes involving older pedestrians are more likely to result in fatality than those involving other age groups,” said Hurwitz, a transportation engineering researcher at OSU. “As a group, older pedestrians are more frail, walk more slowly and are at increased risk of falling while walking. And some of those people may also have an inhibited ability to make safe road crossing

decisions due to vision or hearing impairments and cognitive decline.” After conducting a review of best practices from national and local sources, the researchers mapped those practices to the Oregon danger spots for pedestrians 65 and over and came up with the following recommendations: Improve visibility and illumination. Increase the use of left-turn traffic signals. Shorten crossing distances. “Twenty percent of the crashes we looked at happened in the dark at places with limited street lighting,” Hurwitz said. “Eight percent occurred at dawn and 5% at dusk, times of day when ambient lighting is low. Better lighting at intersections and near crossing locations, rapid flashing beacons and other devices like ‘Pedestrian Crossing’ warning signs with flashing LEDs would likely help a lot.” So would, he added, converting “permissive” left turns for drivers at certain locations into “protected” ones. Executing a permissive left turn at an intersection means watching for a break in the oncoming traffic, which has the right of way. “In a permissive left turn, drivers can become so focused on looking for a gap in the traffic that they don’t see pedestrians,” Hurwitz said. “Increasing the use of protected left turns in locations where a permitted turn may be difficult can improve the safety of older drivers as well as pedestrians because it reduces one of the more complex driving tasks.” Slow turn wedges He also notes that some cities including

Portland and New York have been using “slow turn wedges” and “hardened center lines” as a way to enhance pedestrian safety by forcing left-turning vehicles to slow down and take a proper route. A wedge, outlined by pylons in the intersection, makes drivers turn more sharply and thus not as fast. A hardened center line, constructed of bollards, accomplishes the same thing by preventing drivers from crossing the center line before they are supposed to. The moves are countermeasures against the increased danger pedestrians of any age face from left-turning vehicles, which nationwide account for roughly 25% of all incidents involving a vehicle striking someone on foot. Among pedestrians 65 and older, the proportion of serious-injury crashes happening when the person is in the roadway is greater than for pedestrians ages 25 to 64, which suggests shortening crossing distances increases their safety by reducing their exposure time. That can be done through pedestrian islands in the median, curb extensions, raised crosswalks and reducing the number of car travel lanes in an area. “From the perspective of universal design, a benefit is that treatments aimed at making older pedestrians safer enhance the safety of all pedestrians,” Hurwitz said. “Our main objective was identifying low-cost treatments that could be widely implemented but looking at ways to address speeding may also help improve older pedestrian safety and should be a focus of future work.”

Shooting From A1

A11

Frasier said after Michel was shot, they found he was, in fact, holding a knife when he lunged toward Sanborn, but the knife was in a sheath, although that could not be seen in the video. Officers also found a gun in the room. Frasier said Sanborn immediately began to give first aid to Michel, while the other officers called for an ambulance. Michel was taken by ambulance from the scene, and alter died due to massive internal bleeding. Frasier said as soon as he heard about the incident, he went to the scene and called the Oregon State Police, asking them to lead the investigation into the shooting. While OSP was in charge, Frasier said he remained active to make sure he made the correct decision about whether or not charges should be filed. OSP turned in its report last week, which Frasier reviewed before deciding the shooting was justified. “I have spent a considerable amount of time reviewing the incidents of June 14, where Matthew Tyler Michel was shot by police,” Frasier said Wednesday. “I personally went to the scene, and I was present when both officers were interviewed. I also reviewed the two body cam videos available to us. I have come to the conclusion Det. Whittenburg and Sgt. Henthorne were justified in the use of force.” Frasier said using deadly force is something police never want to do, but if they fell their lives of the lives of others are at risk, state law does allow the use of force. “The law here in Oregon states a person is entitled to use deadly physical force is a person is trying to use deadly physical force on you,” Frasier said. “Its terrible someone had to lose their life, but we have to remember, the officers thought he was a suspect in a murder. They told him to get on the ground. They told him to drop it. Any person would be justified in defending themselves.”

Wyden, Schumer, Booker introduce Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Senator Cory Booker, D-N.J., recently introduced the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act (CAOA), comprehensive legislation that would end the harmful and out-of-touch federal prohibition on cannabis by removing cannabis from the federal list of controlled substances and empowering states to implement their own cannabis laws. The legislation establishes a federal regulatory framework to protect public health and safety with provisions to combat illicit market cannabis production, prioritizes restorative and economic justice to help undo the decades of harm caused by the failed War on Drugs, ends discrimination in the provision of federal benefits on the basis of cannabis use, provides major investments for cannabis research, and strengthens worker protections. By decriminalizing cannabis at the federal level, the CAOA also ensures that state-legal cannabis businesses or those in adjacent industries will no longer be denied access to bank accounts or financial services simply because of their ties to cannabis -- an important effort led by U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, as author of the SAFE Banking Act, and supported by Wyden. The CAOA was first released as a discussion draft last year, alongside a request for comments from stakeholders. After receiving more than 1,800 comments and working with various Senate committees, the senators refined and expanded on the discussion draft proposal, which they are formally introducing today. A full summary of the revisions to the CAOA discussion draft can be found HERE. “For far too long, the federal prohibition on cannabis and the War on Drugs has been a war on people, and particularly people of color,” said Leader Schumer. “The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act will be a catalyst for change by removing cannabis from the federal list of controlled substances, protecting public health and safety, and expunging the criminal records of those

with low-level cannabis offenses, providing millions with a new lease on life. A majority of Americans now support legalizing cannabis, and Congress must act by working to end decades of over-criminalization. It is time to end the federal prohibition on cannabis.” “It’s no longer a question of ‘if cannabis should be legal.’ The states are moving ahead, and not only do the overwhelming majority of American people support legalization, they now live in a state where some form of cannabis is legal,” Wyden said. “I’d ask my colleagues in the Senate to think long and hard about what keeping the federal government stuck in yesteryear means for public health and safety. By failing to act, the federal government is empowering the illicit cannabis market, it’s ruining lives and propping up deeply rooted racism in our criminal justice system, it’s holding back small cannabis businesses from growing and creating jobs in their communities. Cannabis legalization is here, and Congress needs to get with the program.” “As more states legalize cannabis and work towards reversing the many injustices the failed War on Drugs levied against Black, Brown, and low-income people, the federal government continues to lag woefully behind,” said Booker. “With strong restorative justice provisions for communities impacted by the drug war, support for small cannabis businesses, and expungement of federal cannabis offenses, this bill reflects long overdue, common sense drug policy. I am proud to have partnered with Senators Schumer and Wyden to introduce this critical legislation. The support that we have received from committee chairs and outside groups underscores the historic nature of this bill and the urgent need for Congress to pass it.” The Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act: Protects public health by establishing strong cannabis health and safety standards under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, mandating that states keep cannabis out of the hands of those under 21, ensuring cannabis producers

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren TWIN SISTER DECIDES SHE RULES THE ROOST DEAR ABBY: When my husband died two months ago, my identical twin helped me move in with her. She never married. I do all the chores -- clean six litter boxes, load and unload the dishwasher, etc. I don’t know how to operate her washer/dryer, as she has shown me only once. She doesn’t like the way I use my phone, set up files, nothing. She also drinks a lot, uses marijuana and is on a starvation diet. If I eat any carbohydrates at dinner, she accuses me of being a “glutton.” At first, she was happy I was here, because on a previous visit she said I was her drinking buddy. I don’t usually care much about eating, since my sense of taste is poor. Last night, because I could taste the dinner, I ate more. She accused me of being a glutton and a parasite. She has, as far back as I can remember, always been “MY way or the highway.” I’m tempted to go live in my truck to avoid her constant sniping. I have no money, YET. She loaned me $4,500, and feels that any money I receive from now on must go directly to her. Please help me. -UNHAPPY TWIN IN MICHIGAN DEAR UNHAPPY: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your husband. While moving in with your sister may have seemed like a good idea while you were in shock and the initial stages of grieving, unless you want to be her maid for the rest of your days, make other living arrangements. You are being treated like Cinderella. Repay the loan in installments after you find a job or the estate is settled. Your sister may have always been the dominant twin, but what you are experiencing now

is abuse, and for the sake of your mental health, you cannot allow it to continue. DEAR ABBY: I had a man as a roommate for a year while he worked in town. “Rodney” was a wonderful roommate. After his lease ran out and he was transferred elsewhere, he came clean about his feelings for me. Then the pandemic happened, and he disappeared for two years. Rodney is now back and wants to live with me part time again. This time he wants more intimacy. He’s kind and helpful around the house. He’s divorced, very smooth and has a residence 1,000 miles from here. I don’t want to be “friends with benefits.” I don’t know him well enough to know if I want more. But I enjoy his company a lot. I am in my 60s and young-looking -- so why not just have a good time? I still don’t want to be hurt. Any advice? -- ROOMMATE ROMANCE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR ROOMMATE: Sex with you should not be part of Rodney’s lease agreement. What he is proposing seems more like a business deal than an attempt to court you. If you are looking for a relationship that could lead to “something more,” do not jump into this without carefully weighing the pros and cons, including the emotional risk involved. If you were willing to settle for a “good time,” you wouldn’t be writing to me. -------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

are licensed and that their products are consistently labeled, and requiring the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Indian Health Service (IHS) to provide recommendations and opinions regarding the medical use of cannabis by VA and IHS patients. Protects public safety by implementing robust anti-diversion rules, including a track-andtrace system, adopting quantitative limitations on retail purchases to combat illicit market cannabis production and distribution, establishing grants to assist small law enforcement agencies in hiring and training officers, and establishing a new effort at the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-

tration to combat drugged driving and multi-substance impairment. Prioritizes restorative and economic justice by automatically expunging federal cannabis convictions and encouraging states to do the same, breaking down barriers to the cannabis industry and expanding access to loans and capital for entrepreneurs harmed by the failed War on Drugs, and ending discrimination in provision of federal benefits -- like federal housing or federal student loans -- on the basis of cannabis use. Regulates and taxes cannabis by transferring federal jurisdiction over cannabis from the Drug Enforcement Agency to the FDA and the Alcohol

and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) within the Treasury Department, and implementing a regulatory regime similar to alcohol and tobacco, while recognizing the unique nature of cannabis products. It also eliminates the tax code’s restriction on cannabis businesses claiming deductions for businesses expenses and implements an excise tax on cannabis products. Encourages cannabis research by requiring more federal research into impacts of cannabis on health and public safety, establishing clinical trials through the VA to study the effects of medical cannabis on the health outcomes of veterans, compiling industry-related

data and trends, and establishing grants to build up cannabis research capacity at institutions of higher education, with particular focus on minority-serving institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Strengthens workers’ rights by removing unnecessary federal employee pre-employment and random drug testing for cannabis, while preserving appropriate drug testing for certain sensitive categories of employees where continued testing is determined necessary, including national security, law enforcement, and commercial transportation; and ensuring worker protections for those employed in the cannabis industry.

Both Rod and Amber Willis have had the privilege of coming from deep Coos County roots. Being part of Coos County farm life involves ﬁve generations on both Rod’s and Amber’s sides of the family. Rod grew up on his parents’ dairy in Sumner. Amber, her parents and siblings spent years on the family ranch up Kentuck Inlet out of North Bend. Raising farm animals has been part of their lives forever.

Years later, Rod and Amber reconnected, married in 1980, were In his youth, Rod showed blessed by a son, dairy cows at the Coos James, and a daughter, County Fair as a member Samantha, and for many of Sumner Catching years lived on the Willis Inlet 4-H Club.

Her love of Pat Shaw started Sumner horses continues to this Buckaroos in 1964 and day and over the years was the leader for 31 she has ridden the dunes years. In 1995 Amber

took over the club leadership from Pat and cherished that role for 24 years until she retired in 2019. Amber had a knack of taking in kids without fancy horses and fancy tack. It was more than once that Amber gave up her own horse so a child could have the opportunity to participate. Amber’s love for the kids showed in her nurturing as well as discipline. Rod acted as papa bear for those kids. Over the years, Rod and Amber drove thousands of miles hauling kids and horses to and from 4-H meetings and fairs. They both continue to help out behind the scenes when

To add to her many talents, Amber also served as Secretary and Show Secretary for Southwest Oregon Horseman Association,

Rod and Amber were volunteer firemen for the Sumner Fire Department, and both had the honor of being voted Firefighters of the year. These days, both Rod and Amber can be found finding opportunities to include their three granddaughters in farm life every chance they can. They are indeed living the good life.

She plans to go to college after she graduates in pursuit of being a nurse, and equine chiropractor. Rachel also plans to continue raising and showing horses and cattle.

As many Coos County folks know, managing a 4-H club is a lot of work. Amber could not have done all she did without the support of husband Rod. Over those 24 years, Rod rebuilt 4-H barns, made sure horse and human trailers were functioning and delivered where they needed to be on time. Rod was the jack of all trades behind the scenes.

Show Secretary for South Coast Barrel Racers Club, was involved with the Bad Girl Series, Head Coach for Marshﬁeld High School Equestrian Team and Secretary for Coos County Open Horse Show.

Coos Youth Auction Committee

Protected Under 18 U.S.C. 707

Saturday, July 30th, beginning at 1 pm The Coos Youth Auction Committee has been supporting 4-H and FFA members by providing a market place for their projects since 1986. This is the 36th year this auction committee has been together. Each qualifying member has an opportunity to sell one quality animal. This is an opportunity for members to learn marketing and presentation as well as how to successfully feed an animal to obtain a finished, quality product. Buyers have the option to purchase as a business or individual as well as putting a group together. If the business does not wish to use the product, it may be resold to the packer at the current market price. This price is always listed in the sale brochure. That amount is then deducted from their bill. For further information on becoming a buyer, contact Dave Scolari at 541-396-2836 or Karen Jernstedt at 541-290-3667. The committee has presented members with more than $109,500 in scholarships since the scholarship portion of the program was started. More than 100 members have benefitted from the generosity of the program supporters. The cakes donated to the auction support the scholarship program. The arena signs help support the auction organization. Arena signs may be purchased yearly for $75. Contact Maria Padgett at 541-404-2619.
