BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World For the first time in almost four decades, Peter DeFazio is not campaigning for office, but that doesn’t mean the long-time congressman has stopped campaigning. These days, with retirement looming in January, DeFazio has focused much of his efforts on getting the federal government to support a proposed container shipping facility in the Port of Coos“I’mBay.putting on a major push for the container port,” DeFazio said Thursday while visiting Coos Bay to get a close look at where the shipping facility would sit. “I talked to (Pete) Buttigieg yesterday, probably for the fifth time. I’ve brought it up with the president twice, I’ve brought it up with Buttigieg many times. I’m doing everything I can. It has bipartisan support.” DeFazio said he is trying to get the federal government to give a major grant to the port project, which would then open it up for additional private funding.“Ithink it’s a very strong ask,” he said. “It would add 10 to 12% to west coast shipping capacity. I don’t see any other way to do that. Here, we’re going ship to rail, the only port of ship to rail.” DeFazio said using the rail line to move containers from the port is a big benefit because rail is cheaper and much friendlier to the environment than moving containers by truck. He said he wanted to come to Coos Bay and see the exact location the port hopes to build the facility because seeing it with his own eyes will give him a greater understanding as he fights for the project.“We’ll know in about a month, probably,” the congressman said. “They’re going to do mega grants every year and they want to allocate it all by the end of the fiscal year, which is October 1. There’s a lot of competition nationwide, but this is a unique project.”ThePort of Coos Bay has already bought the land for the shipping terminal and has signed an agreement with North Pointe to develop it. DeFazio said if the federal grant is approved, progress could be seen quickly.
Bob and Jonathan Schalck said the idea of engraving replicas of the North Bend coins was almost by accident. “I guess it started when we first got our laser,” Jonathan said. “I was looking for a project to do, and I remembered, ‘Oh yeah, we had the wooden currency.’”
While Torres has led the ARK Project at Coos Bay schools for years, this summer she also became the homeless liaison for the North Bend School District. With that, she expanded the lunch program to North Ben students. “We asked the secretaries who they would like us to check in on each week, so we did that,” Torres said. “We know if something happens during the school year, they will say we saw you over the summer. We already have that connection.”
Jonathan said he searched online for pictures of the coins and tried to make a version himself, but he struggled. Later, his dad found a book on myrtlewood that had a clearer picture of the coins, and Jonathan was finally able to get a good replica. When the Coos History Museum decided to have an exhibit about myrtlewood that includes both the original coins and a later version printed by the state to showcase the historical time, the Schalcks approached the museum. “When the coin show came to town, he showed it to her and she said can you do something for us,” Bob said. “So, we started printing them out.”
“I think North Pointe has some interested clients, people who are big in shipping,” he said. As DeFazio looks at retirement in a few months, he said one more major win for the Southern Oregon coast would be a nice way to cap his career. “I’ve done a lot down here on the coast,” he said. “We wouldn’t have railroad if I hadn’t intervened. I’ve tried to put an emphasis on Coos Bay and the coast. This would be big. This would be the biggest thing on the South Coast.”
BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World For most employees of local schools, summer time means some well-deserved time off and a break from students. But for the ARK Project, there is no break. And Melinda Torres wouldn’t have it any other way. While Coos Bay and North Bend schools are closed over the summer, Torres continued to work to make sure homeless students received a hot meal each week, and, more importantly, to make sure those students saw a friendly face from someone who cared. Torres said over the summer, the ARK Project served hot meals one day a week, usually on Wednesdays, by taking the food to the students considered most at risk. “We do 50 hot lunches for at most at-risk kids, like our houseless kids and our at-risk kids,” Torres said. “In Coos Bay, we have our kids we want to check on weekly during the summer time. If they have any questions about school, we want them to know they will see us.”

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World In 1933, during the Great Recession, North Bend made history when it created its own wooden coins to keep the local economy afloat. Almost 90 years later, a father and son who live in the city turned their interest in local history and a hobby engraving objects into a history lesson of sorts honoring the North Bend coins and benefiting the Coos History Museum.

Father and son bring small part of North Bend history to life
Engelke became the first female mayor in North Bend when she was elected two years ago, two years after winning a seat on the city council. She said she is proud of the work the council has done over the last two years and believes progress is being made in the city. ‘The very first thing we did as a council was we established our strategic goals,” Engelke said. “We have worked very hard with city staff and did a lot. But I want to see them through. I knew the vision I had for North Bend was going to take a few years to develop.”Engelke cited things such as the city’s Urban Renewal Agency buying the old county annex downtown, with plans of demolishing the building and having a mixed-use development built in its place as a project she wants to see completed. Only one challenger, former Mayor John Briggs turned in paperwork to oppose Engelke in the November election. While Engelke said nothing negative about Briggs, she believes she is the person to lead North Bend right now. “I am so invested in this community being someone who was raised here and seeing firsthand with my own eyes the ups and downs the community has been through,” she said. “It warms my heart to see all we have done. When the council came together right after the election, we developed four main goals we wanted to work on. One of those was to support, maintain and succeed in economic development for our localEngelkebusinesses.”saidthe city started a Main Street Program and began offering facade repair grants over the last two years, both which are making a difference. “If you drive through downtown North Bend, you can see it and you can feel it,” she said. At her campaign kickoff, the crowd included Republicans, Democrats, business owners and friends. Engelke said the mix in the crowd shows the leader she can be. “One of my strengths is bringing all the partners to the table,” she said. “I work with everybody. This is a non-partisan position. So you’ll see people from both sides of the aisle.” Reaching out for North Bend often means reaching past the city borders, Engelke said. Please see ENGELKE, Page A2
The connection is one of the biggest bonuses of offering the summer lunch program. Torres said homeless students need to know there is someone they can trust and count on at school. This year, the ARK Project partnered with the Coos County OSU Extension office to create healthy, simple meals to be delivered to students. “We tried to make affordable meals,” Torres said. “We got all Please see ARK, Page A3
The museum is offering the replica coins for sale as a fundraiser. Each coin, made out of myrtlewood, showcases a replica $5 coin on the front with a Coos History Museum on the back. The Schalcks said they put the history museum logo on the back to make sure their replica coins could not be confused with the originals. There are also some other differences. While the original coins were printed in black ink, the replicas are engraved into the wood with the laser. In addition to cutting coins for the museum, the father and son have done projects for 7 Devils Brewery, the Oregon Coast Railroad and others.
“The whole idea is we’re trying to tie this to the community as much as possible,” Bob said. Building what they call a hobby-business has been more about fun that money so far, but someday soon the father and son duo hope to make it more profitable. They cut the coins into myrtlewood to keep them as close to the original as possible, but can also cut into other woods. Bob said they found a place to get myrtlewood almost by accident Photos by David Rupkalvis/The World The original myrtlewood North Bend coins are on display at the Coos History Museum.

“I’m trying to really involved at the state level,” she said. “I’m on the board of the League of Cities. I’m also on a task force for mayors and we will be lobbying the Legislature for $800 million to house theEngelkehomeless.”said the mayor and council have made major strides in two years, but she said there was another group that deserved praise as “Iwell.want to give the city administrator and staff credit for carrying out the strategic objectives we laid out as a council,” she said. “We brought in $6 million (in grants). That exceeds by $2 million what we bring in for property taxes eachWhileyear.”Engelke has her eyes on unfinished projects in the city, she also has another major reason for running again. “I have two daughters, and I want to be a good example to them,” she said. “I’m a professor at the community college, and I want to be an example to them.” As she begins to campaign, Engelke said she would meet voters in place at any time to share her vision for North Bend. “My goal is to meet with people and answer questions,” she said. “I will meet with anybody. Tonight is the kick off.” Among the supporters at the event were State Rep. Boomer Wright, a Republican, and former State Rep. Caddy McKeown, a Democrat.“I’vehad the distinct honor of working with the mayors of Florence all the way to Coos Bay,” Wright said. “One of the things I appreciate about Jessica is she’s willing to talk to me about her vision. That allows me, as money is available, to help them succeed. I really appreciate Jessica. She’s a leader and sorely missing in a lot of places like Salem. we really need people like Jessica, who has a vision and will work hard for the community. That really helps me.” McKeown said she met Engelke through her job at the community college, when Engelke helped her find an intern, who turned into a full-time employee. “She was up in Salem quite a bit when I was serving,” McKeown said. “I appreciate her demeanor and her manner. She’s very enthusiastic about her work and she does a good job. She has the right skills.”
“I love the history of it, learning about the area,” Bob said. “A lot of people don’t know about the fishing, the lumber and the coal. And of course, the Indian Tribes.

Bob and Jonathan Schalck show off a replica of the North Bend wooden coin they created while standing in front of an exhibit showcasing the original coins at the Coos History Museum. The father and son duo made the coins to help as a fundraiser for the museum.
The Schalcks received permission from North Bend before making the coins and have been talking to city staff about making a version that can be sold at the North Bend Visitors Center. That coin will have the $5 front, with a map of Oregon highlighting North Bend on the back.While the Schalcks have reached out to different organizations in the community about using their laser engraver, they are happy it was the Coos History Museum that they worked with first. Both said they are big supporters of the museum and enjoy seeing the exhibits.
Grant to help restore historic buildings
Prior to the creation of the Public Health Department these activities were performed by a single county health nurse who had to visit 92 schools, traveling by horseback, canoe, milk truck, or the engine of a log train. 100 years later, the Public Health Department still works diligently to improve the health of the community it serves. Today, the Public Health Department provides a wide variety of services from life-saving vaccines to ensuring safe/healthy food on your plate. Public Health serves as the steel beams of the healthcare industry aiming to save the community millions of dollars and protecting the quality of life for all our citizens. The staff provide vital health services to the community including: • Disease prevention and control through inspections, vaccination, investigation, tracing and community education.
• Resource assistance • Medicaid education and enrollment • Policy advocacy • Disaster preparedness

“We’re getting access, hopefully, this year, to the harbor at Gold Beach,” DeFazio said. While DeFazio is not running for another term in the Fourth Congressional District, he said he will work hard to make sure Democrat Val Hoyle wins the seat he has held for“I’mdecades.strongly supporting Val,” he said. “I’ve known her for a long time. I worked closely with her when she was a legislative leader and I worked closely with her as labor secretary. I think she’ll be a great representative for the district, and I feel her views are more in line with the district that Mr. (Alek) Skarlatos.”DeFazio said he has watched, sometimes with humor, as Skarlatos has campaigned this year. “Mr. Skarlatos is trying to redefine himself,” DeFazio said. “I think we saw the real Skarlatos last time and we’re seeing a coached Republican candidate Skarlatos this time.”
Torres said the majority of students fed over the summer were elementary and junior high students, but the ARK Project is designed to help anyone from pregnant moms to those up to age While22.the program is based out of Marshfield High School, it is partially funded through grants and donations.Theoutside funding allows Torres to open it to any unhoused child or young adult. At the ARK Project, those in need can get clothing, food, accessories and can take hot showers. Because the need does not go away in the summer, the ARK Project was open throughout the summer.

ARK From A1 our meals at Grocery Outlet or we used canned food, so they know you can make a recipe on a budget. We printed out our recipes each week in English and Spanish. The kid loved our bell pepper nachos, they loved it. We just finished it up last week and for the last day we gave them each cook books.” In addition to feeding students, the summer lunch program helped others learn to cook. “We even had high school students come and help us cook,” Torres said. “Some of them did not know how to cook, so it was a good learning experience for them as well. They really enjoyed it. This could be like a new thing we do when we have high school kiddos come help us so they can learn things. It was really nice to have the extra help.”
While retirement is getting closer, DeFazio said he still has work to do before he steps aside next January. “Right now, I’m focused on the job and spending a lot of time on the archives. The University of Oregon is taking my archives. I’m going to take a little break and see what interesting things there are to do.” One thing DeFazio said he is certain about next year is there will be fewer plane trips across the country, which brings him much relief.He said the average trip from Springfield to Washington, D.C. takes 21 hours, the longest trip by any congress member in the lower 48 states. “I’m not going to be getting up at 3 o’clock in the morning to catch a 5 a.m. flight to get back to Washington, D.C. for a vote. Over my career, it’s about 435, 40-hour work weeks commuting back and forth to Washington, D.C.”
“Just because school ends does not mean you’re not homeless anymore and you don’t need access to showers,” Torres said. “It’s a need, and making sure we can have that check in with families. We really try to create those long lasting relationships. A lot of these kids don’t have consistent long-lasting adults.

Robert “Bob” Sully passed away peacefully on July 29, 2022, at the age of 70. A 1969 graduate of North Bend High School, loving son to Robert and Patricia Sully; big brother to Mike; proud father to Matthew, Jamie, and Samantha; and amazing uncle to Jeff, Bess, and the boys. His career spanned many decades working for Safeway, United Grocers, Wilsey Foods, and Ventura Foods, and right before retirement spent some time as a realtor traveling the western US. He was an avid car guy relishing many models, yet ultimately missing his 1965 GTO as the one that got away. He will be missed dearly with his ashes to be spread across Oregon.

HOLY GoHISTORY:COW!TheVeepWhoDidn’ttoD.C.
So, Congress passed a special act allowing him to take the oath of office outside the United States. King was sworn in as America’s 13th vice president in Matanzas, Cuba, on March 24, 1853.He grew so weak it was obvi ous he would never see Wash ington again. He was taken home to his beloved Chestnut Hill plantation in Alabama, dying there on April 18, just two days after his arrival. King never presided over the Senate or performed any other official duty. With no constitu tional mechanism for filling the office (that didn’t come along until the 25th Amendment went into effect in 1967), the position sat vacant for more than three years.King held it for only 25 days, the shortest tenure of all 49 vice presidents and five fewer than William Henry Harrison’s 30-day presidency. His face has never appeared on any coin, currency or postage stamp. Yet his bust has graced the halls of Congress for over 125 years along with those of other veeps, a silent reminder of the man who never got the chance to go there and do the job Ameri cans elected him to do.
To make a submission to the editor,
legislature showed its gratitude for all of King’s efforts by making him one of the state’s first senators. He quickly got on the fast track, becoming president pro tempore of the Senate and a behind-the-scenes power broker. Over the next 30 years, he helped pass such land mark measures as the Compro mise of 1850 and served a stint as ambassador to France. But King’s home life set Washington’s tongues wagging. He shared a house with fellow senator and lifelong bachelor James Buchanan. There were lots of whispers and finger-pointing about the pair’s, ahem, close ness. (Andrew Jackson called King “Miss Nancy.” Let’s leave it atWhenthat.)the 1852 election rolled around, King’s Democratic Party picked former senator and general Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire as its presidential nominee. Back then, when a Northerner was selected for the top of the ticket, a Southerner was selected as his running-mate (or vice versa) for balance. With a New England Yankee at the head of the ballot, Ala bama’s King was tapped for the No. 2 spot. It was a match made in elec toral heaven. The Pierce-King ticket won in a landslide so large it literally killed the rival Whig Party. (When you drive your opponents to extinction, that’s a serious victory.) But amid the Democrats’ jubi lation, there was a very serious problem. Although it wasn’t widely known among everyday Americans, King was seriously ill. He was so sick with advanced tuberculosis, in fact, that when Inauguration Day arrived on March 4, 1853, King wasn’t on hand for the ceremony. He was in Cuba, where it was hoped the warm winter weather would preserve his deteriorating lungs. It didn’t.
Cancel the fence
1) portable pot ties, trash contains and a water faucet on that now fenced piece of property and let homeless camp there with gate closed from 6 PM until 7 AM somewhat like parents who do not let their misbehaving children run free. Add other pieces of property for other campers.

The Coos County Airport District wants to spend over $2 million in federal government grant money to build miles of chain link fence around wood land areas the District controls west and north of the Airport Heights Neighborhood in North Bend. The fence would seri ously degrade the neighborhood that has, along with others in our community, enjoyed the wood lands for decades, including its aesthetic beauty and view of the Bay, numerous hiking trails and the woodland habitat that sus tains deer and other wildlife. The rationale for the fence is to prevent camping. However, area residents have not seen camps there since last year. When we requested documen tation from the CCAD, they declined claiming such would compromise certain “vulnera bilities.” Our group, Preserve Airport Heights Neighborhood, instead obtained police records. There were a couple of camps in 2021, but no reports after signs prohibiting camps were posted in December. It’s odd that camping reports are an official Airport secret when that information is available from the police depart ment.There has been little public discussion of the fence at Dis trict meetings though they claim such have occurred over the past ten years. This vague reference is insufficiently transparent. A public town hall meeting about the fence is sorely needed. The CCAD needs to be up front with their plans and hear from those who are likely to be affected. Interestingly, a recent Airport District slide presentation listed Airport stakeholders. While Ban don Dunes Golf Resort was on the list, the City of North Bend and the adjacent Airport Heights Neighborhood were not. There is little evidence that homeless camping is a problem sufficient to justify spending over $2 millions of taxpayer money on a massive fence that will degrade the Airport Heights neighborhood and effectively ruin 35 acres of wildlife habitat. There are less expensive and far less destructive ways to deal with unwanted camping, such as hiring a part-time warden to patrol the area at strategic times. Please email the CCAD at info@flyoth.com or call 541756-8531 and ask them to be a good neighbor and cancel the fence. Ken Bonetti on behalf of Preserve Airport Heights Neighborhood, North Bend We need an answer Regarding the homeless issue: According to KCBY.com “Now Coos County is making a move to help in that effort” by evicting campers from county held com mercial property held in fore closure. Why? Because trash, disorderly conduct has become an overwhelming issue. Big help by moving trash and disorderly conduct off a piece of vacant commercial property right back into our neighborhood streets. I think we can all agree that every one has to be somewhere. The county and both cities are studying the issue. Bottom line: Do they really think using taxpayer money to subsidize housing without forcing land lords to house people who trash the places and are disorderly is going to solve anything? Are landlords going to rush to build forced housing? And exactly which neighborhoods would such housing be built?

Changing old habits In my lifetime, I have been a pre-school teacher, special education instructional assistant, American Sign Language edu cational interpreter, classroom teacher and a special education teacher. I have always believed children bring with them their own definitions of success into a classroom and it is the duty of educators to teach to the academ ic and social emotional needs of each child. Furthermore, I believe for any child to strive and thrive there must be a safe learning environment where it is understood that being wrong is how we all learn. In primary school, youngsters learn that 2+2=4 after believing 2+2=5. In January of this year, I returned to classroom because a teacher had left my home district mid-year.Twoof my assigned classes were blended 11th and 12th grade English. Each class consisted of students on indi vidual education plans (special education), modified and regular graduation diploma tracts, honor students as well as a 504 Plan (civil rights) and ELL when English is the student’s second language.Howto meet the needs of these students when the pandem ic further widened academic per formance gaps? When I had no idea of their actual reading and writing skills because grades, test scores and attendance records only take you so far. I developed curriculum to Ore gon standards which allowed me to assess their needs individually. Yes, it was time-consuming, but teaching is an advocation not indoctrination. Also, I learned in real-time that since I had retired from teaching the use of pronouns had risen to an importance I had nev er considered. I became acutely aware of how important the use of he/him, she/her, they/them had become.Thiswas immediately brought to my attention by a student because I had unintentionally but wrongfully used an incorrect pro noun when referring to a student. They defended their classmate. It took courage to protect another; to stand up for others’ needs and rights. This was done respectful ly, and I became more vigilant. You see, old habits are just that, old habits. Our children deserve that from us, just as long ago, we too came to understand that 2+2≠5. L. MyrtlePowriePoint
Born into a wealthy North Carolina planter family, he’d only arrived in the Alabama Territory the previous year. King created a cotton plantation called Chestnut Hill on land that became known as “King’s Bend” outside the city of Selma (which he selected the name for, by the way, taking it from the 18th-century poem “The Songs of Alabama’sSelma”).

AnneCoosWilsonBay Last week, I received two emails from readers concerned their letters to the editor had not been printed in the paper. After searching my email, it became clear I had never received the submissions sent via our website. I brought this to the attention of our IT specialist, who checked and quickly learned the letters were being forwarded from the website to an email address that was no longer being sent to the one I use. If that sounds confus ing, believe me it is. To make a long story short, we have fixed the problem. All letters sent through our web site submission form will now come directly to my email. I also learned how to go back and check for the letters submitted since the problem began, which was roughly at the beginning of August.Ihave several of those letters running in this edition of The World and will check over all the remaining letters in the coming days. Every letter that is still valid, I will run in future editions of The World. If you sent in a letter that did not print, I apologize. It was not intentional, and the error has now been fixed.

Remember the James Stew art classic “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”? A political rookie is appointed U. S. senator out of the blue and then — spoiler alert! — goes to Washington. Nearly 170 years ago, a man became vice president of the United States without going to Washington. He never even set foot inside the Capitol the entire time he had the job. Here’s why. There was a heap of cele brating in the Heart of Dixie in December 1819. Alabama had just been admitted to the Union as the 22nd state. Much of the hard work in securing statehood had been done by a 33-year-old lawyer named William Rufus DeVane King. (He also wrote the state’s first constitution.)

It is often said that only two things are certain in life: death and taxes. This is an easy conclusion to jump too, seeing as yes, we all eventually die (unless your the Queen, may she live forever), and that no matter where you live, the taxman com eth, and sometimes with more guns then collection pouches. I am a 17-year-old high school student in Bandon, and I hope to share why what we do in our daily lives matters, and how it affects the world as a whole. Life is something that is hard, and something where both the good and the bad are inevitable. But our lives are something that influences the world around us. Our own lives influence our friends, who in turn influence their friends, so on so forth. Culture is something that directly impacts the political world. Major cultural events happen in relation to the actions of the government. And these are all affected by our lives. Life affects culture, culture affects politics, and politics affects life. This is why people often say that politics run downstream of culture. When same-sex couples became increasingly accepted into everyday society, even before Obergefell v. Hodges, the government decided to legal ize and normalize it. When it became more culturally accept able to smoke marijuana, states stepped in and legalized it (and it seems that it could be coming soon on the federal level). Poli tics has always been downstream of cultural changes. So perhaps at the end of the day we can all take a step back and breathe for a second to see the impact we make on the world around us. If we want to make our country a better place, we must first make our culture better. If we want to heal the division in our country, start with a smile and a greeting when you get your coffee in the morning. Help your neighbor when they need help, and be a nice and generous person. If we do that in our lives, it will eventually bleed into our culture, and from there into our politics.

Complete grant applications must be submitted no later than October 24, 2022, at 5:00 p.m.
The $250,000 grant from the National Science Foundation Partnership for Innovation will allow the researchers to develop their clinical candidate and establish a production method for the treatment, after which they can hold a clinical trial to test its effectiveness. “The efficacy of im mune-based therapeutics has already been tested in the human clinic for cancer and other diseases, but we’re not going to take human drugs and try to adapt them to the dog,” Mourich“We’resaid.going to make the dog drug that does the same thing.”
The approved project must be completed no later than August 10, 2023.
The City’s Historic Preservation Committee will review submitted applications in November 2022, and make a recommendation to City Council, who will award the grant(s) upon verification that the proposed project complies with the guidelines outlined in the application.
The City of Coos Bay has received a $15,000 Certified Local Government “Pass-Through” Grant from the State Historic Preservation Office to assist property owners of historic structures with needed preservation. The “Pass-Through Grant” is financed with Federal funds from the National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior; however, the contents and opinions of the grant do not necessarily reflect the United States Department of the Interior views or policies nor endorsement by mention of trade names or commercial products.
“Killer T-cells are essen tially the smallest scalpel you can have,” Mourich said. “They identify the cancer cell, remove that cell and leave healthy tissue alone. They’re so precise that you can utilize them to go and eliminate all the little pieces of tu mor around the body.” Camelids can produce a specialized smaller type of antibodies referred to as “nanobodies.”Theirsmaller struc ture allows nanobodies to penetrate tissues that aren’t accessible to larger antibodies, and also makes them easier to produce and store for long periods of time, which reduces the overall cost.

Throughout the past 30 days, the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team has seized substantial quantities of meth amphetamine and heroin. Additionally, DINT has served several search warrants on illegal marijuana growing operations operating in Douglas County. On July 18, DINT detectives were conducting an operation in Oakland.

The additional resources and support provided by Douglas County has resulted in a substantial increase in DINT’s effectiveness in reduce illegal narcotics in our community.
By MOLLY ROSBACH Guest Article Researchers at Oregon State University’s Carl son College of Veterinary Medicine are moving forward with developing a specialized antibody treat ment for dogs with cancer, thanks to a recent grant from the National Science Foundation.Theresearch team plans for this treatment to be a gentler, more targeted and effective option for addressing canine cancer, just as immunotherapeutics are used in human cancer patients.“It’snot a drug like chemotherapy where it’s a toxin. You’re actually re cruiting the body’s natural immune response for clear ing out transformed cells — for instance, a tumor — and then it kills them,” said Dan Mourich, senior OSU research associate and the molecular biologist on the research team. Currently, veterinarians can use radiation, che motherapy and surgery to tackle canine cancer, but these typically involve frequent trips to veterinary hospitals where the dog must be sedated, and can take a physical and emo tional toll on both pets and owners, Mourich said. In contrast, the OSU therapy will be adminis tered daily in the home as a small subcutaneous injection, similar to how pet owners with diabetic animals inject them with insulin.Theresearch team includes Dr. Chris Cebra, camelid expert and the chair of the clinical scienc es department in OSU’s veterinary college; former OSU professor and clinical veterinary oncologist Dr. Shay Bracha, who recently joined the Ohio State Uni versity Veterinary Medical Center; and Dr. Carl Ruby, veterinary pharmacology instructor at OSU. The treatment was developed with help from some unlikely collab orators: the llamas and alpacas that OSU owns, which are both members of the camelid immuneprovokedinthemResearchersfamily.injectedwithaproteinfoundcaninetumors,whichthealpaca’ssystemtorespond by creating a specific antibody.Theresearchers then screened a “genetic library” of the resultant antibodies to determine which were most effective at binding and blocking tumors from interacting with that protein on dogs’ cytotoxic killer T-cells, the cells responsible for fighting cancer.

CITY OF COOS BAY HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE HISTORIC PRESERVATION GRANT
Anglers will be casting for cash on Labor Day Weekend, when the Port of Coquille River holds its second small-mouth bass derby. Dozens of microchip -tagged bass can be redeemed for prizes ranging from $50 to $1,000 – including two grand prize fish. “We put the first $1,000 bass in the river in July, and he’s still out there somewhere,” said Port Commission er Fred Fry. “And now the Coquille Indian Tribe has donated $1,000 to tag a second one. “That gives people two chances to win $1,000, and lots of chances to win the other prizes.” Altogether, the river system will contain nearly $7,000 worth of tagged fish. The port continues to collect cash and in-kind donations to further sweeten the pot.

On Tuesday, August 23, detectives with the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team executed a search warrant at a residence in the 4,000 block of Dole Road, Myrtle Creek. This was another of the large scale illegal operations like we’ve been repeatedly seeing in the area, often times owned and operated by foreign drug cartels. This particular location was raided twice by DINT in 2013, also for illegal marijuana operations.
Two positions on the Or egon Outdoor Recreation Committee (OORC) are now open for volunteers to apply. The committee is recruiting for one member to represent the interests of people with disabilities and one member to represent members of an

The September derby takes place from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3, and 6 a.m. to noon Sunday, Sept. 4, though anglers are welcome to catch small-mouth bass anytime. Anglers can take their fish to the Myrtle Point boat ramp or Coquille’s Sturdivant Park during the derby to have them scanned for microchips. Sponsors of the derby include the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Coquille Indian Tribe, Roseburg Forest Products, Timber line Taxidermy, 3J Ranches and the Spruce Street Bar and Grill. The port welcomes additional sponsors to donate cash or mer chandise. Potential sponsors should contact Fry at 360-721-4513 or Beth Spencer at 541-572-2737. Facts about the bass derby Many tagged bass from the July derby are still roaming the river sys tem. Feel free to catch them now and freeze them for future scanning. (You can buy your derby ticket when you bring in your fish.)
“The more donations we get, the more fish we can tag,” Fry said. Unlike most bass derbies, this event is not catch-and-release. Just the opposite: The whole point is to rid the river of as many small-mouth bass as possible, thereby reducing predation on salmon Voracioussmolts.bass are unwelcome invaders in the Coquille, where various agencies and community or ganizations are cooperating to restore dwindling salmon populations. The port’s first derby, in July, removed about 2,000 bass from the river. Some became tasty suppers for anglers. The rest became crab bait. Organizers encourage anglers to keep every small-mouth bass they catch, no matter how small. The Coquille River has no limit on small-mouth bass, and each one is a potential money winner.
In total, DINT seized 2,154 live marijuana plants, and 1,900 pounds of pro cessed marijuana ready for market. No one was located on the property at the time of the search warrant, but the investigation is continuing and arrests are anticipated.
DINT detectives arrived at the location and found several large greenhouses completely surrounding the residence, full of live marijuana plants, as well as the hillsides around the residence terraced with hundreds of growing marijuana plants. The residence was being used as sleeping quarters and work area for a large scale commercial operation. The adjacent shop area was being used as an indoor growing area as well as marijuana processing area. Once again there were major water use violations, dangerous electrical code violations, as well as environmental wreckage from misuse of pesticides and fertilizers. These issues have been common problems with these unlawful grow sites.
