AM 1030 is a 50,000 watt radio station that is owned by longtime nationally syndi cated-radio host Delilah Rene and ran by station engineer Bob Larson, who also has a fruitful history in radio and television.

All in all, Torres said, it was a fun summer with opportunities to learn, explore and recreate.

“The response has been fantas tic,” Larson said. The duo pride themselves on providing small towns in Oregon with community news and enter tainment.“It’simpacted Coos Bay, Win chester Bay, Florence, Reedsport, the Scottsburg area and other local communities,” Larson said. “Now people can tune in to us to listen to music entertainment, find out what’s going on in the local area, listen in to the hourly news, the morning show or afternoon show – and of course Delilah in the evenings,” he said. KDUN made a return the air last year on Sept. 6 after being purchased by Delilah’s Big Shoes Productions on May 3, 2021.

At the Devereaux Center, the volunteers installed a fence, did landscaping and helped paint. Frantz, the youth pastor at Skyline Baptist, said helping oth ers is something his church and his teens care strongly about. "We have a passion just to serve and be able to show the community that Christ cares about the community, whether you're doing good or struggling," Frantz said. He said the goal Saturday was not only to help the community, but also to help the teens. "The goal is the for the youth to have a servant's attitude," Frantz said.

The World An after-school program in Bandon has grown into some thing much more valuable for the community,TheBandon Community Youth Center, which has served as the primary after-school program in the city for years, expanded its full summer rec reation program this year. The result was dozens of children learning valuable skills and hav ing fun throughout the summer. During the eight-week pro gram, between 35 and 45 children attended each day. Every morn ing started with a bus ride t the Coquille pool, where children received swimming lessons. After returning to Bandon, there were a variety of fun things to do. "The Bandon Community Youth Center is the only oft er-school program we have in Bandon," said Melinda Torres, who joined the board of direc tors. "A lot of parents depend on us to open our doors. (Over the summer) we had presenters come in once a week and on Fridays, we did a field trip somewhere." One of the highlights was working with Bandon Dunes to offer golf lessons to the children.

The World Snowy plovers are a rare shore bird species that live on Oregon beaches. These fluffy little birds blend in with their surroundings and can be hard to spot. Just few decades ago these birds almost disappeared for good. The populations of the West ern Snowy Plover have made a comeback thanks to a coordinat ed effort by biologists, volunteers and educated beachgoers up and down the Oregon Coast. Dave Lauten and Kathy Cas telein have been on the forefront of this effort. The Bandon-based biologists came to Oregon to study plovers 26-years-ago. “We were hired to do the job the first year, and then we liked it so much it turned into another year… and then it turned into 26 years,” Lauten said. The biologists study the birds by finding their nests – which consist of just a few tiny eggs laid right in the sand. They monitor the nests along with the mating pairs of birds. When the baby birds hatch, the biologists put small colored bands on their legs in order to track them. “It’s interesting to study the individual birds at each beach and see the dynamics of population – and what is working and what isn’t working,” Castelein said. Lauten and Castelein have worked with the Nature Conser vancy and Oregon State Uni versity, and they now work with Portland State University’s Oregon Biodiversity Information Center. Their dedication to birds and to wildlife is what keeps them motivated.“Wework 7-days a week all summer long. You have to have the passion to get up out of bed at 5 a.m. every morning day after day and you have to have a passion for the birds – and find it interesting,” Lauten said. “It’s a little bit like a game be cause you are getting clues all the time about where the birds might be nesting and where to find the birds - and whether or not the brood is still active. So for me I look at as a little bit of a challenge to make it fun,” he said. Bringing the birds back Not everyone knows there are

Torres said the youth center partnered with Alternative Youth Activities, and AYA paid some of theOverpayroll.the summer, those who attended heard from the Coos County OSU Extension Of fice, the Bandon Library, Coos County Sheriff's Office, Bandon Police, Bandon Fire Department and the U.S. Coast Guard. And then there was the fun part. "One day we went to the Coquille Community building and we did roller skating," Torres said. "Some of them have never roller skated in their life. We had a lot of opportunities that kids had never experienced."

“Early last summer, Delilah called me about the big 50,000 watt transmitter that wasn’t working and asked me if I could put it back together – and I said, ‘Well sure,’” Larson said. When they got to the trans mitter site the building was overgrown with blackberries and there were rodents inside the building and the transmitter, but Larson kept his word and got the transmitter up and running. Now, Larson wears many hats at the radio station alongside gen eral manager Rhonda Grant, office manager Christina Crockett and program director Smokey Rivers. In the past year, Delilah has con tinued to be an active member of the radio station and keeps in good contact with the staff at KDUN. “We are good friends and we both love our radio work,” Larson said. “We tease each other because she says, ‘I am on 160 stations’ and I wave my hands and say ‘Well I’m on 15 stations!’ That’s what makes this job so inter esting is that we are both just having fun,” he said. After a year of bringing the radio station back to life, station manager Larson said the goal is to keep doing what they are“That’sdoing.our goal – and to con tinue to get the word out about community events and activi ties,” he Althoughsaid.the AM radio station is operated out of a small coastal town, it is considered to be a regional radio station. “Because of our power as 50,000 watts we are classified as a Eugene area of influence – even though we are 20 miles from Coos Bay. They could clas sify us as a coastal radio station,” Larson said. The next closest radio station with 50,000 watts is in Eugene, he said, and the next radio sta tion with that far of a reach is in SanTheFrancisco.KDUNradio broadcast reaches south to Brookings, north to Newport and as far east as Albany, Eugene, and Spring field. KDUN is also streamed 24/7 on iHeartRadio and two other internet streaming services, Larson said. “It covers a gigantic area.”

The ones who don’t usually fol low the rules usually fall into two categories: They are just are new to the beach or don’t pay atten tion, or you get serious violations from people who are repeat of fenders and there’s just not much you can do except bring in law enforcement,” Lauten said. “We would rather just educate people though,” Castelein added. “Sometimes we ask people to stay on the wet sand and they have trouble understanding what that“Imeans.”alsothink people sometimes assume plovers are nesting in the grass and not just right on the beach and that’s a tough one to get across. Literally their nest is just three “rocks” on the sand and it’s so easy to step on it – or a dog or horse to walk on it, or also an ATV or a bike,” Lauten said.Because they dedicate so much of their time an effort to snowy plover recovery, the biologists said it is disappointing to they see plover eggs or a nest destroyed by human causes. “It’s a little rough because we have hosts designated at the state parks – people who are out here often and moving ropes around and trying to educate people – so it is avoidable,” Castelein said. People should be able to recreate on the beaches and there should be room for plovers to nest too, she said. The idea is to "Share the Shore." This means having fun while protecting the natural environment at the same time. Did you know? The average life of the snowy plover is about 3 years – but the record holder is 16 years old. Female plovers maximize reproductive output by nesting with different males throughout the nesting season. This is called serialPloverpolyandry.chicksare preco cial – meaning “they’re cute, right?” They are fluffy, their eyes are open and they are running around within a few hours of hatching. But they do need their parents to keep them warm, lead them to food and protect them predators.Ploverfacts provided by Eleanor Gaines at the Oregon Biodiversity Information Center

Now, they nest in every county on the Oregon Coast – which is really a success for the state, they said. Plovers in peril Snowy Plovers have been in trouble for a few different, but inter-related, reasons. This includes habitat loss, an increase in predators and human distur bance.Snowy Plovers rely on cam ouflage and early detection of predators to survive. They like to be in wide open places where they can see threats coming from farInvasiveaway. grasses have made it easier for different kinds of pred ators to prey on snowy plovers. “The grass can bring in predators like raccoons, skunks, foxes and weasels. They can hide out in that habitat where they couldn’t 100 years ago,” Caste leinAnothersaid. main predator is ravens and crows. “There are a lot more of them now than ever because of the hu man resources that they exploit like dumps and dumpsters and even farms,” said Lauten. Ravens are extremely intelli gent animals and they are broad omnivores, so they can eat a lot of different things, he said. Un fortunately this includes snowy plover“Theyeggs.are really smart and really efficient at finding plover nests – and as Kathy and I say the ‘incredible edible egg.’ It’s a lot of protein and it doesn’t fight back or bite,” Lauten said. Also, because plovers live on the beach and lay eggs right on the beach, their nests are at risk of inadvertently being stepped on or trampled over by beach-goers, dogs, horses and ATVs. Human interaction can also make snowy plovers leave their nests – and wind can blow sand over their nests or predators can swoop in while they are away. Pay attention to signs State and Federal agencies have placed signs to alert beach goers of the presence of plovers, and sometimes rope off certain areas of beaches where plovers nest.“The signs are here for a rea son. It helps people to be aware,” Castelein said. “When you get to the parking lot, take the five min utes to read the signs so you can understand what the rules and regulations are. Because we do try to provide space for humans to recreate even where there are snowy plovers.”

The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board has announced the five 2022 recipients of its Focused Investment Partner ship program, including first-ever awards for Ore gon’sAmongCoast.these recipients is the Coos Basin Coho Partnership, whose $11 million award will accel erate years of high-priority restoration projects in the Coos watershed, with the aim to recover local popu lations of threatened Ore gon Coast coho salmon. “This is a huge invest ment not just in Oregon Coast coho recovery, but also in the strong resto ration economy we’re building on the South Coast,” said Haley Lutz, executive director of the Coos Watershed Associa tion, which serves as the lead local coordinator for the CBP. “We’ll be invest ing millions of dollars in our local economy through supply purchases and by hiring contractors and additional skilled workers in the Coos Basin.” The Coos Watershed Association and its part ners have been securing OWEB grants and invest ing millions of dollars in Coos County for decades through projects that re store and enhance aquatic habitat. What’s different about this award is that is provides funding stability over a six-year period and will serve as a catalyst for future projects in the Coos Basin. The economic and ecological impacts of coho salmon restoration will ex tend beyond the FIP fund ing’s disbursement over the next six years, Lutz says, with long-term benefits for sport and commercial fish eries, tourism, and clean water for communities. The blending of econom ic and environmental health is an important theme for the CPB, who believes strongly that healthy ecological, economic, and social conditions are needed to ensure a sustain able future for native coho through the restoration of highly connected, function al, and productive land scapes. According to Mike Gray, ODFW District fish biologist for the Coos-Co quille-Tenmile District, this funding will help us do just that.“This award makes a major, focused investment toward sustaining keystone coho salmon populations in a changing environment, but also toward contribut ing to the coastal economy through restoring healthy fisheries,” says Gray. The Coos Basin Coho Partnership consists of 15 local and regional orga nizations who have been working together on coho recovery activities in the Coos Basin for over 25 years, but formalized a regional partnership recent ly through the development of a Coos Basin-specific plan to accelerate coho recovery on the southern Oregon coast. The recently finalized Strategic Action Plan can be accessed here. The full CBP team in cludes Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians, Co quille Indian Tribe, Coos Watershed Association, Coos Soil and Water Con servation District, Curry Soil and Water Conserva tion District – Conserva tion Reserve Enhancement Program, Weyerhaeuser, Wild Rivers Land Trust, Wild Salmon Center, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, Oregon De partment of Environmental Quality, Bureau of Land Management – Coos Bay District, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Admin istration – Restoration Center, Natural Resource Conservation Service, South Slough National Es tuarine Research Reserve, and U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service – Coastal Program.

The partnership com ponent is critical to being able to achieve the out comes of this grant: each agency plays an important role in providing capacity, expertise, and addition al funding. In fact, with contributions and matching funds from CBP partners, the total amount lever aged for the Coos Basin is expected to reach nearly $20 million over six years, almost doubling OWEB’s investment.TheCBP is hitting the ground running and has already started on some of the FIP projects, which are aimed at improving the quality, quantity, and connectivity of coho salm on habitat—particularly in areas that have experi enced loss of tidal habitats, blocked or hindered fish passage, loss of winter rearing habitat, and degrad ed water quality. Over half of the projects are within lowland, tidally influenced subbasins within the Coos estuary, as these play a crit ical role in supporting life cycles of salmon and other aquatic organisms.

“It’s a very cohesive group. It's been a very collaborative effort that has been going on to help recover this species in Oregon,” StrongBiologistsreported.Lauten and Caste lein said when they originally started working with plovers, their habitat was limited to only certain beaches on the south end of the state.

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 30 seconds of attention it takes to become aware of the snowy plovers can make the difference between a positive or negative human interaction.

endangered-species right here on the Oregon Coast, the biologists said.“There are a lot of people that don’t understand what is going on, or don’t even know that these birds exist,” said Lauten. “But it’s happening right here.” Snowy Plovers were listed as an endangered species in 1993. At that time, there were only about 70 snowy plovers left on Oregon Coast beaches. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service designed a recovery plan for snowy plovers with a goal to grow the pop ulation to 250 plovers on the Oregon Coast and the southern tip of TheWashington.populationof snowy plo vers has exceeded that goal since 2015 – and the highest estimate of breeding birds recorded was 613 birds in 2021, according to Cheryl Strong, a fish and wildlife biologist based in Newport. “We definitely have years when they do better than others – but in the big picture of things they are doing really well,” Strong said. A number of different agencies have been involved in snowy plover recovery – from federal and state agencies, to nonprofits such as Audubon.

DEAR ABBY: About a year ago, I started a long-distance relationship with a widower. His wife died four years ago. He told me he slept on the couch a long time and got very little sleep after her death, because he couldn't stand sleeping alone. He has two dogs and had never allowed them on the bed. He ﬁnally decided to try sleeping in the bed with the dogs, and was then able to sleep. I have visited him several times, and he doesn't want to sleep with me. We have discussed marriage. When I told him I want us to sleep together, he said he wants us to continue sleeping in separate rooms/ beds after we are married. I don't want that. We have a great relationship except forAmthis.I being unreasonable? I feel like I'd be taking second place to his dogs, and I'm hurt that he would rather sleep with them. I told him how I feel, but he doesn't want to compromise. I don't know if I am wasting my time with him or not. I'm afraid if I insist on it, he will think I am being too pushy and break off our relationship. -- GOING TO THE DOGS DEAR GOING: Could it be that he doesn't want another woman sleeping in the bed he shared with his late wife? Ask him that question. If that's his problem, buying a new bed would solve it. However, if it isn't and being forced to sleep separately would feel personally demeaning, then this isn't the man for you. P.S. When a couple is discussing marriage, NO question should be considered "too pushy." DEAR ABBY: I have two beautiful adult daughters. The older one is who I'm having issues with. She treats me like someone she wishes she didn't know. She and her husband plan vacations with his family and never think of including me. When I asked her why, her response was, "Mom, you're always broke and you embarrass me." I'm on disability and yes I'm loud, but that's because I'm hard of Ihearing.lovemy daughter with all my heart, and it kills me how she treats me. She lives on the West Coast, while I live in South Carolina. I can't even get her to come visit me. She and her husband prefer visiting his family, who live on the Northeast coast. I don't know what to do. My younger daughter doesn't treat me that way. Please help. --

He was sent to northern France and Germany where he carried information to the front line commanders. He was in Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge and had many interesting stories to tell all of us to make us proud Americans. He was honorably discharged in December of 1945. At this point he became a steam pipe fitter in Portland. However, after a haircut and doing the math, he decided to go to barber college at night. During his apprenticeship at Rouge River and then Reedsport he met his first love of his life, Patricia Marie McAlister. They were married September 22, 1947. Earl had three barber shops in Reedsport all on the same block for 42 years, always known as "Earl the Barber". To this day his wax figure and barber shop is set up in the Umpqua Discovery Center for all to enjoy and hear the history.

They bought their first and only house on Bowman Road and then welcomed Thomas Earl followed by Samuel Paul, Douglas Bruce, Terry Hans and Daniel Gordon. With eight kids, there was never a dull moment around the Plagmann's. Earl was a proud member of the VFW in Reedsport and a well-known member of the community. Every summer he packed up the family and headed to the high mountain reservoir at Wickiup to camp, fish and enjoy the Cascades till school started up.

With Carol’s four grown children, Wayne, Wendy, Fran, and Fred; and with Earl’s eight plus all the grand and great grand kids it made a large extended family they truly enjoyed together. Their honeymoon trip was backpacking to Alaska by way of the ferry. Then over the years, they enjoyed exploring in Arizona, Mexico, Hawaii, and elsewhere in the western states. They were always up for outdoor adventures not to mention watching sports and rooting for the Oregon Ducks! As the years went on, they had great memories and stories to pass on. Earl and Carol were married 34 years, his love and companion went home May 13, 2021. His last year was spent at Sheldon Park, where he appreciated the great staff and comradery. Earl, grandpa or papa will always be remembered for his love of family, his independent spirit, sense of humor and loving heart.

DOWNHEARTBROKENSOUTH DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Your older daughter not only lacks compassion, but her values are seriously out of whack. That she would blame you for having limited ﬁnances or being hard of hearing is shameful. According to the NIH, 15% of adults over the age of 18 have some hearing trouble. Nearly 25% of those between 65 and 74 have it as well. If you are 75 or over, it's 50%. So, PLEASE dry your tears and concentrate on the child who loves and treats you well, because the daughter about whom you have written isn't likely to change. You will have a happier life if you accept that fact and move forward.

Jerry asked what was my #1 concern to improve qualify of life here on the Coast. My answer, accessible skilled labor and craftsman. If you find someone, they are booked two,three or more months. How do we train, attract and provide safe, affordable, housing to bring builders, plumbers, electricians, painters, mechanics and more to the Coast? I always have a nervous edge when it comes to upgrades or repairs. Will I be able to find help when I need help? I’ve also heard this concern expressed by almost every friend and neighbor I’ve met since mov ing to the Coast.

Theresa Avery Bandon Encouraging anarchy? Here in Oregon most property crimes have been decriminalized. Steal a car? Here's your ticket. Burglar ize a business after hours? Cite and release. Break into someone's home and steal their stuff? No place to put you in jail, please appear on the date listed on your citation. And of course all drugs are legal. On the other hand we are still a castle state. Your home is your castle and you are not required to retreat or negotiate. Someone breaks in you can shoot them and although it may be a hassle you likely won't be charged. Cops can't arrest them for breaking into your home but you can kill them if you're home when they do it. Some thing just seems out of kilter here. Armed citizen activity has to increase as policing and prosecuting decreases. It just seems inevitable. Maybe that's the plan to have citizens take the garbage out because government is unwilling? What is the pur pose of having expensive government if anarchy is the de facto law of the land? It's getting crazy out there people be prepared to take care of yourself and your family because you're on your own now.

Coming soon, The maybeApocalypse, PePPer Trail

John Chaplin Coos Bay

Just about every video game, young adult novel and buzz-worthy streaming series agree that we need to prepare for a post-apocalyptic world. Up ahead, around a sharp curve or off a cliff, it is waiting—The Apocalypse. Maybe not “the complete final destruction of the world,” but certainly “an event involving destruction or damage on an awesome or catastrophic scale,” to quote the two definitions in the Oxford Online Dictionary. Not yet, but soon. This has me won dering: How will we know when we move from pre- to post-apoc alypse? This summer, my hometown in southern Oregon was crushed under a heat dome, sweltering in tri ple-digit temperatures. A fire across the state line ignited and within 24 hours exploded to become California’s largest wildfire this year so far. The two mountain lakes that provide water to our valley orchards and vineyards are at 2% and 6% full, that is, 98% and 94% empty. Last year, an even more severe heat dome pushed temperatures in normally cool Seattle and Portland to record-shattering levels, wildfires burned more than a million acres in Oregon and 2000-year-old giant sequoias perished in fires of unprecedented severity in California’s SierraCatastrophicNevada. extremes are becoming normal. The Great Salt Lake is at the lowest level ever recorded, spawning toxic dust storms. A mega-drought has shriveled the Colorado River, with the beginning of major cutbacks in water deliveries to Arizona and Nevada. Elsewhere in the West, flooding devastated Yellowstone National Park in June, collapsing roads and leading to the evacuation of over 10,000 visitors. Widening our view, Dallas is currently inundated with what is described as a “1,000-year” flooding event, fol lowing similar flooding disasters in Las Vegas, St. Louis and Kentucky earlier this summer. Across the Atlantic, Europe was scorched by the highest temperatures ever recorded this summer, triggering massive wildfires, the collapse of a glacier in Italy and over 10,000 heat-related deaths. India, China, and Japan experienced record heat waves this year. I could go on, but no doubt you have read the news, too, about climate-caused apocalyptic events. Closely related is the global extinction crisis, with over a million species at risk by the end of this century. Bird populations in the United States have collapsed by one-third in the past 50 years, and the world’s most diverse ecosystems, including tropical rainforests and coral reefs, could largely disappear in coming decades.

I am voting for Drazan I watched the recent gubernatorial debate between Kotek, Johnson and Drazan. They were asked excellent questions, and did a great job of defining themselves, while remaining civil. I was disappointed, however, that not one question was raised pertaining to our state's response to the pandemic, and how these three would govern during any such sim ilar future pandemic. I was appalled by some of the dra conian overkill imposed upon our citizens, which strayed so far from common sense as to shut down isolated parks and beaches, for example. We are only now learning the grave social and academ ic consequences of the chronic school shut-downs. Of course, Governor Brown halted school testing under the guise of equity, so we may never learn the full extent of the avoidable losses. I plan to vote for Christine Drazan for governor, in light of the far superior outcomes and preservation of liberty experienced by states run by the more conservative governors.

If there is no reason for this fence, what are the down sides? First, it would look terrible and totally change the current natural park-like atmosphere of the area. Large numbers of people walk, jog and cycle through this area every day. Some of the areas would be inaccessible since not all of the current trails would be accessible by gates. Second, there are a fairly large number of deer, includ ing doe with their fawns, who currently inhabit this 35+ acre area. They would totally lose this habitat. Also, will someone explain to me why we should spend $2 million plus of taxpayer money for a fence we don't need? There is another potential problem I have not seen ad dressed. If this fence is constructed with the limited gates currently planned, how would fire department personnel be able to respond to a wildfire? Has this fencing propos al has been shared with the North Bend Fire Department who would be responding to such an emergency? I don't see how the fire department would be able to get per sonnel and equipment in to some of the areas where the brush and dry grasses have been growing back since the recent brush clearing. This would result in increased risk of property damage to both the residences and businesses in the area.

Let’s also not forget the COVID-19 pandemic, which has killed at least 6.46 million people worldwide and sick ened 597 million. That pandemic shows no sign of ending as the virus continues to evolve new variants. Meanwhile, the new global health emergency of monkeypox has been declared. And polio, once eliminated in this country, is back, thanks to people who aren’t vaccinated. What about America’s social fabric? According to a poll taken this summer by the New York Times, a major ity of Americans surveyed now believe that our political system is too divided to solve the nation’s problems. The non-profit Gun Violence Archive has documented 429 mass shootings so far this year in America, with “mass shootings” defined as at least four people killed or injured. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade has led to a rapid and stark division of the country into states that permit abortions versus those that outlaw it. Republicans and Democrats increasingly live in sepa rate media universes, with both sides concerned about the possibility of a civil war.

Take back the narrative

You’ve read the reports. From local elections to na tional elections, large donors are pouring millions into swaying voting outcomes. Now is the time for you to start talking politics. Your voice and the voices of all who support racial, social and economic justice are threatened by a tidal wave of money from outside sources. For years, progressives’ concern for inclusiveness and awareness of others’ needs have been disparaged when opponents used the terms “political cor rectness” and “wokeness” as a mockery of those ideals. For even longer the conventional “wisdom” was to avoid discussion of politics in “polite” society. Progressives need to take back the narrative using the peacemaking tools that they have. Approach others with wonder. Engage them with the purpose of understanding. Ask questions. Do not judge. Do not shame. Listen. Find common ground. Keep learning by being open to these other perspec tives. Encourage others to do so by your example. Share how new information provided a different perspective, helped you understand better, and led you to become part of a solution, instead of a problem. Celebrate our nation and its diversity. Our history has been one of endeavoring to create a “more perfect union.” We (those of the dominant culture) are so much better because we accepted the other. In the late 1700s it was the French who were seen as a threat to our wellbeing, then the Irish, Germans, Jews, Chinese, Eastern Europe ans, Southern Europeans, Latinos ….. It has been only recently that Native Americans have been recovering from being seen as the first threat to invading Europeans. We, the United States of Amnesia, forget lessons we have learned in the past. In recent years the “threat” has been seen as from Middle Eastern immigrants, and from the continuing, and oh so patient, demand from our Afri can-American brothers and sisters for equality of oppor tunity after 400 years. Don’t let regressive forces powered by outside dollars win. Don’t allow intimidation of voices that seek to create a more perfect union. Keep loving, keep learning, keep voting, and encour age others to do the same.

Jeannie Culp Bandon Used by the party I grew up in the south, had a great church, loving fami ly, and seven siblings. I was stationed at Fort Benning for 39 months in the late '60s then started my career at GE doing appliance sales and repair. I traveled to 48 states and never met a white supremacist, or felt assumptions about me. In 2009, when I moved to North Bend for retirement, it seemed everywhere I went I was told by people that they voted for Barack Obama. I'm far too old to engage in these conversations. Donald Trump became president and random people started telling me they voted Hillary, why? My parents were Republicans, I have always voted Republican. When I voted for Trump, my kids and grand kids all told me I was voting against my own people. I was essentially being told that black men like myself should have one monolith of thought. The more I read and seen on television, the more I found inconsistencies in the anti-Trump stories, and noticed their willful ignorance. I'm reminded of a quote by Malcom X, "The white conservatives aren't friends of the Negro either, but they at least don't try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the "smiling" fox." In today's political climate, I don't see the "Trumpers" as my enemy, nor do I see Biden voters as my enemy. We are all human, Americans, and children of God. I do agree with Malcom on one thing, Democrats are using the plight of my great great great grandparents, as if slavery is a problem today. People that look like me are nothing but pawns being used by the party of the KKK to seem virtuous. Johnathan Kennedy Davis Jr. North Bend Happy to help This year, the Mid-Coast Mustang & Ford Club provided 20 backpacks including school supplies for the Morana Back to School Drive. These were donated to students in the North Bend and Coos Bay School Districts. It’s a great honor to continue supporting students in the community every year. Billie Gannon Coos Bay Give Jerry Rust a look Jerry Rust, a new face on our local political front for Oregon District 9 who is also the face of years of experi ence. As a former Lane County commissioner, Mr. Rust has a long list of accomplishments that improved quality of life in Lane County, which were implemented with common sense and cost-effective solutions.

Jerry responded, “I was fortunate growing up in that my school district provided technical training for stu dents. Auto mechanics and wood shop skills were offered. I benefited from the vocational skills that I learned in high school. Getting technical training back into the curriculums of our school system from the seventh grade through graduation is critically important particularly for areas on the coast that are far from big urban centers with more diverse opportunities.

I admit this is a staggering list of “damage on an awe some or catastrophic scale,” but I’m not ready to declare myself a citizen of the post-apocalypse. We don’t have to live there. Instead, let’s accept that humanity and the whole planet are “apocalypse-adjacent.” The apocalypse is before us and we can see it clearly. But the world is not yet ruined. Human beings do have this redeeming and also infu riating trait: We are at our most creative and cooperative when it is almost too late. We can — we must — pull each other back from the brink. To fail is to condemn our children to live in the hellscape of a dystopian video game. As they will tell you, that is no place to be.

Letters to the editor Guest CoLumn

The rationale for this fence is that it is supposedly needed to prevent homeless camping on airport prop erty. However, there is no homeless camping on airport property. I have requested and received records of such incidents on airport property from the North Bend Police Department. The records show that there have not been any since the beginning of the year that a perimeter fence would have prevented. None.

"This shift in education also is in keeping with increas ing resources in community colleges to provide continu ing education, and retraining in technical areas. It is un acceptable to have such large numbers of our community end up in substandard jobs living in substandard housing; we can do better and this is an area to focus some of our educational resources on. I would make this a priority in educational restructuring.” Rust had realistic solutions to make coastal living better for everyone in our district. “All Politics is Local.” I invite you to vote for Jerry Rust, Oregon District 9 this November and bring qualified skills and affordable housing to Oregon coastal living. Christine Thomas Reedsport No fence is needed I am writing to express my serious concern over the Airport District's plans to move forward with the con struction of a perimeter fence around the entire 35+ acre wooded area in the Airport Heights area of North Bend.

And on Tuesday, Marshfield beat Siuslaw 25-12, 26-24, 25-16. North Bend opened the season with a sweep at Hidden Valley, though it was a tight match, the Bulldogs beating the Mustangs, 26-24, 26-24, 25-16. Coquille, which has moved up to Class 3A this year, opened the season with a split of two matches at home on Saturday.

Bandon runners fare well in season opener

The highly competitive 3A football clas sification just got even more treacherous. The addition of state pow ers Banks and Kennedy from 4A and 2A, respectively, bolsters a division that has featured six different teams in the last three state finals. Banks – the 4A champion in 2018, run ner-up in 2019 and quarterfinalist last year -- has dropped down due to a declining enrollment. The Braves won their last 19 games in the Cowapa League, where they played since 1994. “There's so much unknown,” Banks coach Cole Linehan said of joining 3A. “I know what we're capable of, so it'll be interesting to see what 3A has in store.” Kennedy played in four of the last six 2A finals, winning the title in 2018. The Trojans, who left the Tri-River Confer ence on a 16-game winning streak, opted to move up to 3A rather than switching to the nine-man game in 2A this year. “This is what my guys wanted to do,” Kennedy coach Joe Panuke said of his players and coaches. “Not one person said they wanted to stay in 2A. They wanted to accept the challenge. “We played 3A teams in preseason every year and we usually did pretty well against them. With so many returning starters and so many seniors, we felt like we could still be competitive at the 3A level.” Siuslaw won the Class 3A title last year, beating South Umpqua. Last year’s Class 2A champion Coquille also is new to the Class 3A ranks, having moved up to that classification this fall. Banks lost about half of its starters from last season, including its big guns on offense in quarterback Cooper Gobel, running back Jamar Flippen and tight end Charlie White. The Braves have only seven seniors on their roster. “It's a bunch of new guys stepping up,” Linehan said. “It's fun to see. We might not have the dudes going to Portland State next year, but we do have a bunch of guys that can play good football.” Banks is counting on big seasons from senior running back/defensive end Daevon Vereen, senior receiver Logan Kind, senior quarterback Christian Lyda and his cousin, senior receiver Jackson Lyda.

Bandon was third in the Class 3A-2A-1A preseason girls cross country poll, behind a wellknown newcomer and a familiar foe.Siuslaw, which won the Class 4A title in its final year in that division last year, was ranked first, followed by the combined Union/Cove team and the Tigers. Bandon, the Class 3A-2A-1A champion last year, has had a number of top battles with Union/ Cove, especially for the boys state trophies, in recent years. Valley Catholic, another newcomer to Class 3A after dropping down from Class 4A, was ranked fifth. For the boys, Class 3A is a separate division from Class 2A-1A, and Siuslaw held the top ranking there, as well, ahead of Santiam Christian and Valley Catholic, which were tied for second. Sisters, another school dropping down from Class 4A, was sixth.

HAUSER — Watching as students made their way from recess on the playground to their classrooms just down the hall Monday morning was a dream come true for Alane Jennings.Aftermore than a year of planning, meet ings and coordinating efforts, The Light house School opened its doors. Almost 60 children in shiny new shoes and brand new blue jeans were in attendance for the first day of school on Monday, while many of the counterparts in the Bay Area were still en joying their last few days of freedom before classes start in other schools on Sept. 3. “It makes it very real when there are chil dren here,” said Jennings, who is also the school’s director. “You have this idea of the school in your head, but it’s not really real until the children arrive.” The Lighthouse School, which is located in four of the classrooms at North Bay El ementary School, is a public charter school for students in grades K-3. These stories were found in the Marsh field Sun Printing Museum newspaper re pository stored in Marshfield High School.

“Everybody's thinking we lost so much, which we did,” Linehan said. “It's hard to replace our big three that we had. But I'm pumped to see these guys play, for sure.” The Braves will play in Special District 1, which includes perennial 3A pow er Rainier. Banks and Rainier were Cowapa rivals before the Columbians left the league in the six-classification split of 2006. Linehan, a 2004 Banks graduate, an ticipates facing Rainier's power-running game when the Columbians visit Oct. 7. “We know the diesel is coming,” Line han said. “They ran the diesel back then. That'll be fun to kind of create that new rivalry, one that was definitely a rivalry back in the day. Our youth teams have played them for years. All of our kids, if you just mention the diesel to them, they know we're talking about Rainier.” Kennedy will rekindle rivalries with Amity and Scio as part of Special District 2. The Trojans and Amity were in the same Class A district in the 1970s and 1980s. Kennedy and Scio – who met in the 2A final in 2009, with Scio winning 14-7 -- were longtime members of the Tri-River. Special District 2 has five teams that have won state championships since 2009 with Amity, Dayton, Kennedy, Santiam Christian and Scio, “A lot of traditional powerhouse teams in our conference,” Panuke said. “It's going to be a lot of fun.

Junior quarterback Elijah Traeger, who filled in for the injured Riley Cantu last year and helped lead Kennedy to the state final, is competing with senior Andrew Cuff for the starting job. If that's not enough, the Trojans added two experienced transfers in senior running back Javier Rodriguez (Blanchet Catholic) and senior linebacker Carlos Recendiz (Silverton). “I felt if we had stayed in 2A, we would've had a really good shot at making a run for a state championship,” Panuke said. “I'm excited to see how that talent carries over to 3A. A lot of guys know how to win football games.

State Rep. David Brock Smith, R-Port Orford, visited Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center on Aug. 23 to tour the facilities and listen to department managers and Southern Coos Health District board members on ideas that would not only improve the Bandon hospital, but other hospitals in the state. Rep. Brock Smith was invited by Raymond Hino, who joined SCHHC as CEO in February 2022. Hino has been instrumental in adopting and implementing an ambitious new 5-year strategic plan for theRep.hospital.Brock Smith toured the hospital’s Laboratory, Medical Imaging, Emergency, and Med-Surg departments and spoke with and listened to concerns and ideas from managers and other employees in eachHedepartment.wasaccompanied by Hino, MedSurg/Nursing Manager Mike Snyder, CIO Jeremiah Dodrill and SCHD board members Mary Schamehorn and Pam Hansen. Following the tour, Rep. Brock Smith was treated to lunch prepared by the SCHHC DietaryWhileDepartment.speakingwith ED Manager Melanie Collins and ED nurses, and with Hospitalist and Multi-Specialty Clinic provider Dr. Olixn Adams and other staff members, Rep. Brock Smith pulled out his phone and began sending emails to himself with ideas for bills he could introduce to the legislature in Salem. “I was very impressed with David Brock Smith during our visit today,” Hino said. “He is an extremely good listener and showed it by listening very carefully to the stories from the front lines told by our doctors and nurses. “What I appreciated even more was his focus on action and solutions,” Hino added. “He immediately proposed meaningful actions that would help not only our hospital, but every hospital in the state.” Rep. Brock Smith said he appreciated the “exceptional tour” of Southern Coos Hospital by Hino, staff and board members. “The conversations went very well and were enlightening in regards to the various healthcare challenges facing our rural providers and their residents,” said Rep. Brock Smith. “We will be working on a number of legislative concepts together that will hopefully ease the opportunities for increases in nursing and provider stafﬁng and help incentivize healthcare education.“I’mgrateful for the dedication of Southern Coos Hospital’s board and staff and look forward to working with them towards increasing their services to our residents,” said Rep. Brock Smith. Not all SCHD board members or staff executive team members were able to attend the visit due to work schedules. Schamehorn, board secretary, said she felt fortunate to have joined the tour of the hospital with Rep. Brock Smith.

“I was extremely impressed with the way he listened to our employees’ concerns, and immediately began drafting legislation to address them,” Schamehorn said. “He definitely listened to the employees and was very proactive in his responses.“Later,during lunch, he had other ideas as to how the district could move forward with its plans to enlarge the hospital. He learned about the space issues after talking with the employees and the administrative staff. Although I have known David for many years, I did not realize what a truly great representative he is for the people of the South Coast. He listened ... and he heard us,” Schamehorn said. Hansen, the other SCHD board member who was able to attend, was equally encouraged by Rep. Brock Smith’s visit. “I was impressed that David was able to determine four new bills to submit to the legislature that would benefit SCHD, especially the need for a centralized call center where the current status of available hospital beds within the state can be accessed, so precious time is saved for transporting patients in critical need for advanced care,” Hansen said. “He also mentioned during the luncheon that much-needed funds for an architectural study for expansion could possibly be obtained in the near future,” Hansen added. “He was attentive and actively engaged in recognizing the urgent needs of our community for quality healthcare. We were well represented by department heads and hospital staff members, who spoke effectively to the positive aspects of SCHD and their enthusiasm for continuous improvement of the facilities and ways to provide full-time job opportunities for healthcare workers living in Bandon.” Brock Smith grew up in Port Orford, is a graduate of Pacific High School and attended Southwestern Oregon Community College and Southern Oregon University. He represents the constituents of House District I, which encompasses all of Curry, and parts of Coos, Douglas and Josephine counties. The SCHD board met on Aug. 25 and were updated by Hino on more details about Brock Smith’s visit as well as the progress of the 5-year SCHHC strategic plan.

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN The first picture I am sharing is of the Nestle's Food Co. plant on the waterfront, taken in late 1919 or early 1920. I went to Dow Beckham's book, "Bandon By-The-Sea Hope and Perseverance in a Southwestern Oregon Town" for a bit of history to share with you. I backed up that information with a story from a March 17, 1921, Western World, which I found among my collection of Bandon history.Acondensed milk company out of Portland proposed to build a factory in Bandon in September of 1917, based primarily on the number of dairies in the"Thearea.tract of property situated just to the west from the Standard Oil Company dock (second photo) and extending back from the harbor line to Division Street, we believe can be built up and arranged to meet the requirements for such a condensery as we are considering," according to the manager of the company. "In addition to the site, the proposal asked the city to drive piling and plan the street from the harbor to the south side of Division Street and thence to Main Street. The city's total cost then became $7,500. Within weeks construction began. December 6 of that year Chris Richert was awarded the contract to provide 600 piling for the plant. Giebisch and Joplin planned a two-story building 106x240 feet with an additional detached power house of 40x60 feet. This canning unit was to have a capacity of 1,000 cases of canned milk per day and employ between 50 and 60 people besides a crew to supply fuel. "By August of 1918 workmen began installation of the machinery including a tall smokestack (visible in the first photo). On Jan. 16, 1919, Nestles Food Company, the largest producer of condensed milk, purchased the plant. It immediately removed the equipment and took it to a plant they owned in McMinnville to enlarge that "Bandon'splant.plant was overhauled with concrete floors, new boilers and new machinery to more than double the capacity for producing 2,500 cases daily."In December (1919), Nestle ordered another large boiler and announced the production of sweetened milk in addition to evaporated milk. Dairymen began increasing the size of their herds and, for several years, experienced good"Inreturns.December of 1922, the Nestle's Food Company reported a big and successful year. It manufactured 6,500,000 pounds of canned, condensed milk of several varieties shipped to all parts of the world. With this large company establishing the largest plant of its kind in Bandon things looked bright for the dairy industry in Coos and Curry counties. Yet slightly over six years from the beginning, the condensery closed."JohnDonaldson who lived in Bandon many years worked for Nestle. And in an interview with Bandon historian Lloyd Lyman, he talked about what led to the demise of the promising industry on Bandon's waterfront. To make a long story short, in addition to increased freight costs to ship the milk to other ports, in 1924 the water got contaminated with yeast from the Ferry Creek reservoir. Foreign sales of Borden's sweetened milk became fermented and the company traced the problem to the Bandon plant. Nestles brought in a chemist from California to test the water and try to solve the problem. But by April of 1924, in spite of efforts to cut costs including buying its lumber for crates from Moore Mill, their troubles mounted.Allefforts to rectify the problems failed, and in October 1925, the temporary closure of the plant was announced. But it never reopened.Thethird photo features the steamer Alvarado being guided into the Port of Bandon by the Tug Klihyam.I'mnot sure when the photo was taken, but by November of 1938, the port of Bandon's new tug "Port of Bandon," recently completed at the Prosper Shipyard, was put into service when Capt. Victor Laivo piloted the S.S. Alvarado to sea, the latter carrying 1,202,000 feet of lumber.Anarticle in the Nov. 10, 1938, Western World talks about the maiden voyage of the tug. "The bar was quite rough but the new tug had no difficulty whatever in driving through the waves. However, the Alvarado struck bottom once on a sand shoal of the outer harbor. The shoal had been formed by the recent rough seas. The tug accompanied the ship for several miles down the coast to learn if the 'bump' might have caused a leak, but it hadn't. "The second performance of the new tug was to bring in the S.S. Bandon which arrived at 10 a.m. Monday, with local freight and is loading at the Moore mill."The old port tug Klihyam has been taken to the Prosper Shipyard and put out of commission. It is being advertised for sale and it is understood that several prospective buyers have been contacted. It will probably be sold for service in a bay or river of one of the larger ports on theBycoast."now most of you probably know that the special election to increase the City of Bandon's TOT (transient occupancy tax) from 6 percent to 9.5 percent was onanditiesupbringssupportedthank1,052votedpeopleresultspercent,imatelyapprovedoverwhelminglybythevoters.Themarginwasapprox-70percentto30withunofficialindicatingthat746votedyesand306no,foratotalofvotesbeingcast.Asmayor,IwanttosayyoutothosewhothefeewhichBandon'sTOTratetowhatlodgingfacil-chargeinCoosBayNorthBend,andmanythenorthcoast,plus

This week's Bandon police report, which appeared in The World, had 14 calls for criminal trespass, ranging from incidents at Weber's Pier, to several in the 60 block of 10th St. SE, to the 300 block of 10th. Other calls included a noise complaint on Beach Loop Drive, theft on Grand Street SE, two calls about a disturbance in the 200 block of 2nd Street, a disturbance in the 1600 block of Oregon Avenue SW, a disturbance on Highway 101 at milepost 252, a civil problem and a disturbance in the 60 block of 17th Street SE, two more calls about a civil problem on 17th Street, a disturbance in the 600 block of 2nd Street, a theft in the 60 block of Michigan, a disturbance on Alabama avenue and Second, a hit and run in Old Town and another theft. I have no way of knowing if the criminal trespass calls involve one individual, several people with repeated calls or if each call involves a different person. But at least the report is available.Asthe statistics continue to grow about drug use and death in Oregon, more people are becoming aware of the fact that Ballot Measure 110, which made user grade amounts of hard drugs like meth, heroin and cocaine, punishable only by a $100 ticket, was tragically not the answer. Proponents, whoever they were, promised that this would mean treatment would be available to addicts.Unfortunately that is not the case. The ballot measure did not mandate treatment.Ispoke with a professional who dealt with a number of addicted people during her long career in health care, and here is what she had to say. "What is really frightening is that Steve Allen from Oregon Health Authority, in charge of behavioral health, doesn't get it that most people using drugs are not interested in treatment so pouring more resources into treatment is not going to help. At least when the addict was arrested there were eyes on their children, but not since Measure 110. Again, Oregon is not keeping our children safe!"

It is important to point out how important the TOT is to Bandon's general fund, since we annually receive about $200,000 in property taxes (based on the tax rate of 46 cents a thousand), while the TOT brings in upwards of $600,000.Bandon's original TOT of 6 percent was instituted before the state law went into effect governing the percentage which can go into the general fund (30 percent) and that which is designed for tourist promotion and tourist facilities (70Apercent).largershare of the original 6 percent goes into the general fund, with an amount over 20 percent earmarked for the Chamber of Commerce for tourist promotion

The Southwestern Oregon Community College Foundation is proud to congratulate their 202223 scholarship recipients. Thanks to generous donors, the organization awarded nearly 190 scholarships totaling more than $275,000 for students attending Southwestern for the upcoming academic year. “With the rising cost of basic living expenses, these scholarships are often the choice factor for students pursuing their education or not,” said Elise Hamner, Southwestern Foundation Executive Director. “We are so appreciative of donors who see this need and step up for students. Year after year, students tell us a scholarship is more than just a nancial impact. Knowing someone believes in you is the inspiration a person needs to push on with career training. When Southwestern’s students succeed, it’s a win for students, families and our Guidedcommunities.”byaboard of community volunteers, the Southwestern Foundation organized as a nonpro t organization in 1962, the year after the college started. Since then, thousands of students have attended the college using Foundation scholarships. These awards inspire students to achieve their goals and give back to our community.

By MARTY GILES Guest Article Ah, the beginning of autumn! Time to finish summer chores, conduct yard clean-up and, per haps, cut wood for the winter’s woodstove. As anyone who’s hand-sawn boards, lopped limbs, felled trees, or split firewood knows: wood can be sturdy stuff. Wood starts out as the woody plant’s vascular system. Of course, materials need to move around in a large land plant. Water from the soil needs to be transported up to the leaves where food is produced using the sun’s energy; that food then needs to be moved to non-pro ductive parts of the system, such as the roots. The vascular system are the tubes those materials moveDevelopmentthrough. of soft new tissue in a tree or shrub’s trunk and limbs takes place shortly under the protective bark. The key role of trunk tissue is to provide support while allowing the fluids to move up and down. Cells produced by this cambium layer swell and grow to form the vessels and other structures, then the cell walls thicken and start to take on lignin fibers. As the cells continue to accumulate lignin, the fibers adhere to each other, strengthening the wood. With each growing season, new tissue develops outside the last season’s tissue layer (but beneath the bark) and the trunks and limbs get wider as they grow. The active layers are called “sapwood” for the fluids that pass up and down the vessels. The inner layers eventually be come inactive as the tree grows bigger, forming the “heartwood.” Most wood has rings in cross-section because the rate of tissue development changes through the year. Cells and ves sels that develop quickly, such as in spring and early summer, swell a lot and tend to make weaker, lighter-colored rings; cells and vessels that develop more slowly, such as in late summer and autumn, swell less and tend to make stronger, darker rings. The tree’s growth histo ry can be read in the wood by comparing the amount of growth from year to year -- the width of theTreesrings.in temperate regions are usually dormant in winter and produce no new cells -- and no rings -- in that season. Rings may not develop at all in wood formed by trees living without cold/warm or wet/dry seasons, Wood rings true M. Giles

Major damage to the bark and wood can leave scars on the wood -- scars that may later heal as new tissue grows over the scar, inching in from the edges until the scar is sealed. A cross-section of such damage may reveal the section of broken rings, perhaps with a black scorch if the damage was caused by fire. Knots in wood are the remains of a branch that was overgrown by successive layers of new growth of the trunk or bigger limb. Firewood splits “with the grain” (down the rings, rather than across them) because the vertical connections are generally stronger than the horizontal connections. The difference in strength between the vertical and horizontal connections varies with the species. Cedar splits well; holly does not. Some of the larger pieces of sturdy wood I culled during our yard’s cleaning will become campfire fodder, others will join the chunks of tree trunk on the woodpile to season for the fireplace. Buried deep in our overgrown laurel hedge were the decaying remains of a long-dead rhododendron. Though bigger than my arm, these trunks were easy to break out of the ground. Soft and crumbly, some pieces still had the dried remains of the shelf fungi that had digested the wood.The dead rhododendron wood was being recycled; in retrospect, I probably should’ve left it there under the hedge. The fungi had grown its fine white threads through the wood, breaking down the connective material and unlocking the nutrients. The softened wood had soaked up the water, storing it and making it available to other organisms that had begun to inhabit the now musty trunks. Shelter, nutrients, water -- a fertile combination.Depleted of the stored energy by organic breakdown, plus the soaking water, means the punky rhododendron trunks wouldn’t be the best firewood. Bigger, firmer branches would make decent kindling and burn well, however, once kept dry long enough to let the plant’s water seep out. It’s the energy stored from past, sunny summers in the wood that warms us when we burn it on the hearth on chilly winter nights.
