The World Most cities in Coos County will not need an election to de termine who will lead their cities for the next two years. Coos Bay, Bandon and Co quille had only the minimum number of candidates file for the seats, although there will be new faces in some of the communities. There will be no change in Coos Bay, where Mayor Joe Benetti was the only person to run for mayor, ensuring he will serve another two-year term in office. On the council side, incumbents Carmen Matthews, Rob Miles and Sara Stephens were the only candidates to qualify for the ballot. Kamryn Stringfield announced earlier this year she was running for a council seat but withdrew after moving from the city. In Bandon, Mayor Mary Scha mehorn will get another term in office after being the only person to file. On the council side, two incumbents will be joined by a newcomer, but no election is needed after only three candi dates filed for the three seats. Incumbents Chris Powell and Madeline Seymour filed for re-election while port Admin istrator Josh Adamson was the lone candidate to file for Peter Braun's seat. In Coquille, Mayor Sam Fla herty will get another term after being the lone candidate to file for mayor. On the council side, incumbents Jake Marshall and Dave Waddington will receive new terms while Janice Wheeler will take the seat being vacated by Ann Parker. One exception in 2022 is in North Bend, where elections for both mayor and council are needed.Incumbent Mayor Jessica En gelke filed for re-election, where she will be opposed by former Mayor John Briggs. Engelke was elected to the council in 2018 and became the city's first female mayor in 2020. Briggs was elected to the council in 1998 and elected as mayor in 2000. He served one term as mayor. The winner in November will receive a two-year term as mayor. On the council side, incum bents Timm Slater and Bill Richardson announced they will not seek new terms. Councilor Larry Garboden is running for a newThreeterm.candidates - Jenny Jones, John Scheirman and Bar bara Schultz - are also running.

Walk aims to cut back on suicides see SUICIDE, Page A2

The World It is the No. 1 cause of death for people ages 10 to 24 and in the top causes of death for all people in the United States, yet most people prefer to ignore it. But this month, volunteers in Coos County are working to bring it into the light and to raise funds to slow it down in the future. What is it? Suicide, the taking of one's own life. Suicide has been a problem forever, but it has grown into a plague in Oregon and Coos County in recent years. That's something Lance Nelson hopes to stop. The Oregon chapter president of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Nelson said September will be a busy month in the effort to slow down suicide. This week is Suicide Prevention Week and September is Suicide Prevention Month. So how big of a problem is suicide in Coos County. It's worse than most would expect. "What we know is Oregon is one of the worst states for sui cide," Nelson said. "In Oregon, Coos County is one of the worst counties."Thequestion many try to answer is why? "It's a very complicated sce nario there," Nelson said. "We know that rural areas are typi cally worse. We know that areas that are lower economically are worse. We know areas with high firearm ownership are worse, and we now areas with lower mental health services all contribute."

Nelson was quick to reassure he was not opposed to gun own ership, but he said the use of guns during suicide attempts are almost always successful, which does play a role in the high numbers.

Most city elections not needed in November

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World After he left the position as North Bend mayor in 2002, John Briggs never planned to run for office again. That was until he watched a city council meeting earlier this year During that meeting, an em ployee of Rite Aid spoke to the council and talked about how a homeless man at the store made her fear for her life. Briggs said the response from incumbent Mayor Jessica Engelke infuriated him. "Since this was the middle of public comment, unfortunately our mayor said this is public comment, your time is up and we don't have time to discuss it with you. I find that lacks in compas sion. When do the citizens get to sit down with the council," Briggs asked. "I don't see it. That's why I'm running for mayor." Briggs said he has other prob lems with Engelke's leadership and the direction the city is taking, but that moment was the one that pushed him to run for office again. Another area Briggs shows concern about is Engelke's claim that the Main Street pro gram is making a big difference in the community. "I know Jessica Engelke really touts what she done. I know there's some good stuff that's come with that. But the Main Street Program is just down there," he said pointing toward downtown. "They've done noth ing for the businesses down here all the way to Newmark." Briggs said even with Main Street, he is disappointed when walking"Twentydowntown.yearsago when I was mayor, we had a lack of parking downtown, and we had all the storefronts open," he said. "It was not costing us $85,000 a year. These folks up there in the houses, they help pay. All funds belong to the citizens of North Bend. It is the job of the council and the city administrator to work with the funds available. To me, the most important part of the city is the residents." Briggs, who served eight years on the airport board, said he was also dismayed when he learned the city of North Bend is consid ering cancelling a law enforce ment agreement with the airport. If that were to happen, the airport could be forced to close. "Many businesses would be affected as will our various medi cal facilities," Briggs said. "Why would the city even consider such an action. I believe this is evidence of poor leadership at cityWhenhall."Briggs was mayor from 2000 to 2002, he garnered some controversy when he supported a proposal to consolidate Coos Bay and North Bend. The voters in North Bend rejected that propos al, and Briggs said he has learned his"Ilesson.hereby state I heard their voice, and I will not support con solidation again," he said. Briggs said he has three main objectives if elected. First, would be to re-establish a sense of safety and security in the"Rightcommunity.now,I don't feel that comfortable walking around," he Second,said. Briggs wants a city government that is compassion ate toward its residents. A confessed fiscal NorthisleadershipNewneededinBend

Photos by David Rupkalvis/The World Students returned to class around Coos County this week as schools in Coos Bay and North Bend opened their doors to students. In Coos Bay, Marshfield High School and Marshfield Junior High started classes Tuesday, while in North Bend, all students returned Wednesday. As Hillcrest School in North Bend, students began arriving 20 minutes before the doors opened, eager to get back into the classroom and to see their friends they missed over the summer. As parents brought their children to the school, many stopped to take first-day-of school photos. When the doors to Hillcrest finally opened, the students poured into the school, officially starting a new school year.

September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

Six lucky anglers collected cash during a Labor Day Weekend bass derby on the Coquille River. They took home prizes ranging from $50 to $500, while helping reduce the population of invasive, predatory smallmouth bass. Prizes were awarded for bass that were tagged with microchips, redeem able for cash. But two bass worth $1,000 each are still at large. That means the cash is waiting for someone to reel it in, courtesy of the Port of Coquille River.

“It’s really a good thing, because we can keep people fishing on them,” said Port Commissioner Fred Fry. Bass are ravenous enemies of native salmon, and the Coquille River’s fall Chinook salmon run is in danger of extinction. Numerous agencies and community organizations, led by the Coquille Indian Tribe and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, are cooperating to save the salmon run. Catching bass is one of their tactics. The port held its second bass derby Saturday and Sunday (Sept. 3 and 4), and anglers took 1,518 bass from the river. Also, the Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program gave away 68 fishing poles to young anglers. “We are so grateful to the port and our other partners in this project,” said Coquille Tribal Chair Brenda Meade. “Saving the salmon run means address ing all the factors that affect salmon survival, and predation by these inva sive bass species is a big one. These salmon derbies are a great opportunity for community members to help.” The port district plans to resume bass derbies next spring. In the meantime, Fry encourages local anglers to keep fishing for smallmouth bass. Once caught, bass should be frozen until they can be scanned for micro chips. The port will set up a scanning station at 5 p.m. each Sunday at the Myrtle Point boat launch, until the fishing season ends. In addition to the two $1,000 fish, many smaller cash prizes remain to be claimed.Many of the bass caught over the weekend were given away to local res idents, who were happy to have some tasty fish. The rest will become fertiliz er for a local farm. Derby sponsors include the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Coquille Indian Tribe, Roseburg Forest Products, Timberline Taxidermy, 3J Ranches and the Spruce Street Bar and Grill.

"I'd be remiss not link our suicide issues to our substance abuse issue," Nelson said. "The vast majority of people who attempt suicide are under the in fluence of something that lowers theirWhileinhibition."suicide is a major con cern in Coos County, there are things people can do to help. "Look for warning signs," Nel son said. "It's super important to start connecting with others, espe cially coming out of the pandemic. Take threats seriously and reach out for professional assistance. Typically, if someone says I'm go ing to end it, I don't want to wake up, it's a cry for help. Most people who are suicidal say something." If you have a loved one who is threatening suicide, Nelson said you can always call for help. In Oregon, calling 988 goes directly to the Suicide Prevention Hotline. A call to any mental health provider, a hospital or even the police could also make a difference."Everymental health clinic I know of in Coos County deals with a suicidal person at that mo ment," Nelson said. "They don't say make an appointment." Another way the community can help is through the Out of the Darkness Walk, which will be held in downtown Coos Bay at 10 a.m., Saturday, September 24. While the walk is a fundraiser for the AFSP, Nelson said it is free to participate in. "We try to keep as much of the money we raise in Coos County in Coos County," he said. "We have 10 different educational programs we can present for free to anyone in Coos County." The programs are made for age groups and other differences to showcase what individuals can do if they have suicidal thoughts and how loved ones can intervene. "There's a huge effort on edu cating the public," Nelson said. "None of them are big, scary, hours-lone presentations. They take about 45 minutes." Other programs the local chap ter offers are loss and healing support groups to help those who lost a loved one to suicide. Nel son said it is not uncommon for someone who lost a loved to feel such guilt they turn to suicide themselves."It'saunique form of griev ing," he said. "It carries the stig ma, it carries the guilt. I should have seen something, I should have done Participatingsomething."intheOut of the Darkness Walk is powerful, Nel son said, because it shows people they aren't alone. "I think the most powerful thing about the walk is you show up and there's hundreds of people impacted by suicide," Nelson said. "You instantly feel that connection when you thought to wereAndalone."itishelping, although there is a lot of work to do. 'Coos County has done a lot over the last four to five years to work to stop suicide," Nelson said. "We have done a lot across the community to increase our suicide prevention efforts." Throughout Suicide Preven tion Month there are opportuni ties to support the AFSP. Nelson said beginning today, there will be an online auction with items donated by more than 30 local businesses. Then on September 24, the Out of the Darkness Walk is scheduled.Tolearnmore or to sign up for the walk, visit afsp.org/co oscounty

"Physical illness is a huge factor for Coos County," he said. "We have an elderly population that has difficulty affording healthcare and difficulty access ing pain management. All of that leads to a perfect storm." While those factors all play a role, there are other issues that impact those who consider taking their own lives.

DEAR ABBY: When my husband and I were dating, he introduced me to the sport of cycling. Before that, it had just been a means of transportation. A few years of training later, it turns out I'm actually pretty good at it. I have been on the podium three times this year, but he has not. He is deﬁnitely jealous. Should I stop competing? -- BICYCLE GAL IN MICHIGAN DEAR BICYCLE GAL: A man who loves his wife wants to be the wind beneath her wings, not an anchor around her ankles. You should not have to give up something at which you excel in order to salve your husband's childish ego. Rather than give you heartburn for your success, he should be praising you for your progress. Shame on ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~him.

Characteristics of older forests can buffer effects of climate change for some bird species

DEAR ABBY: My husband inherited a nasty habit from his mother. He calls people "crazy" to discredit them so he can win arguments and stifle discussion. I have told him it's lazy to pass judgment on someone that way. It also shows the world how ignorant he is, because he thinks he'll win every argument by playing the crazy card -- a personal attack. I think it's immature and immoral to take advantage of others' bias against mental health issues. He has done it to me in front of people. I have said, "You wish!" right back at him. It has reached the point that I think he's character deficient. His misogyny is exhausting to fight. His mother is even worse. She throws in her armchair diagnosis, which is always "schizophrenia." My husband's argument is an emotional one and too pervasive to enjoy time with him. Any idea how I can fight these below-the-belt punches?

-- DEFINITELY NOT "CRAZY" DEAR DEFINITELY NOT: That shouldn't be too hard. When your husband acts this way, don't engage with him. Ignore his comments, leave the room or the house. Spend less time with him and NO time with his mother. And while you're doing that, ask yourself why you tolerate the disrespect you're receiving from both of them. DEAR ABBY: My brother is old enough to work on the farm, but he refuses. He goes to school, comes back angry and doesn't like to be told what to do. Everyone has to work except him. We have tried time and time again to get him to help out. We appease him, but he only gets worse. How can we get him to develop good work ethics? It hurts when we ask him to do something and he gets angry and starts swearing. All we want is for him to help out. -- GOOD WORKER IN MINNESOTA DEAR WORKER: I wish you had been clearer about who "we" is. If it's you and your siblings, there isn't much you can do to teach your brother the lessons he needs to learn. However, if it's your parents you are referring to, there is plenty THEY can do to set rules and enforce them while their son lives under their roof. Hint: It involves rewards for good behavior and consequences if he is disrespectful and noncompliant.

with – and it could be the same for the interaction between forest ecosystems andUnderbirds.”the current warming regime, he explained, some birds interact with the forest ecosystem to their benefit, while others will find it hard to breed there because the availability of food has changed for theTheworse.scientists found that for five of the 20 bird species they analyzed, abundance trends tended to be either neutral or less negative in cooler microclimates, and the negative effects of warming on two species were reduced in locations with greater forest compositional diversity. The five species benefiting from the buffering effect were the Swainson’s thrush, variedchickadee,chestnut-backedhermitwarbler,thrushandWilson’s warbler. The Wilson’s warbler and the red crossbill were the two with statistical evidence of benefiting from the insurance effect. “If plants leaf out earlier in warm microclimates, causing arthropods to emerge earlier, there is a danger of migratory birds mistiming their breeding with peak food availability,” Betts said. “Since leafout timing varies by plant species, forests with more plant diversity often have a longer period of insect availability.”Theother14 birds in the analyses were the dark-eyed junco, hermit thrush, McGillivray’s warbler, Pacific-slope flycatcher, brown creeper, black-throated gray warbler, golden-crowned kinglet, Hammond’s flycatcher, hairy woodpecker, Pacific wren, red-breasted nuthatch, red-breasted sapsucker, western tanager and yellow-rumped warbler. Seven of the 20 species showed overall declines in abundance over the eight-year study, 2011-18. Nine showed increases and four did display a detectable trend. “Trends of abundance of five species declined at greater rates in warmer locations than in cooler areas,” Kim said. “That suggests microclimates within forested landscapes do provide refugia for those species. Declining species that are sensitive to warm conditions, like the Wilson’s warbler, hermit warbler and chestnutbacked chickadee, seemed to benefit the most from refugia interestingBettseffects.”founditthatthe study led by Kim – whose results Betts said were “collected independently and more rigorously” than those in the research he led in 2017 – showed the same species in decline and the same species benefi ting from forests with declininghighshouldmicroclimate“Ourdirectly,”measurebecausewascharacteristics.old-growth“Theearlierpaperlesswelldonewedidn’tmicroclimateBettssaid.hypothesiswasthatbufferingworkforaproportionofthespecies.This current paper is the fi rst time that’s been shown.” Brenda McComb and Sarah Frey of the OSU College of Forestry and David Bell of the Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station also took part in this research, which was supported by the National Science Foundation.

Old-growth forests and managed forests with old-growth characteristics can provide relief from climate change for some bird species, research by the Oregon State University College of Forestry suggests.Thestudy led by former Oregon State doctoral student Hankyu Kim builds on earlier research led by co-author Matt Betts, a professor in the Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society, that showed that old forests with big trees and a diversity of tree sizes and species can offer refuge to some types of birds threatened by a warming climate. The latest findings bear important implications on conservation decisions regarding mature forests, the scientists say, and have even greater relevance because of the new Inflation Reduction Act, which calls for increased resources to map and protect the United States’ remaining oldgrowth forests. The research, published today in Global Change Biology, looked at forest “microclimates.” Microclimates are local atmospheric conditions, in areas ranging from a few square meters to many square kilometers, that differ from those of the surrounding area.Microclimates tend to be most pronounced in areas of rugged and varied topography such as coastal areas, islands and mountains like Oregon’s Cascade Range, home to the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest where Kim and Betts did their research.TheOSU scientists and collaborators from Oregon State and the United States Forest Service analyzed eight years of breeding bird abundance information from an HJ Andrews watershed as well as subcanopy temperature readings and ground- and LiDAR-based vegetation data. They concluded that at locations with cooler microclimates, some bird species tended to do better – a phenomenon they describe as the “buffering effect.” Some species also fared better in places where the forest had more compositional diversity, referred to as the “insurance effect” because diversity helps ensure the presence of the insects the birds feed on when they most need nutrition and energy – during breeding season. “To my knowledge, this is the first empirical evidence of any microclimate effect on songbird populations, and of the insurance effect on free-ranging birds,” said Kim, now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of tionsrangeofa“EachWisconsin-Madison.speciesmayhaveslightlydifferentrangethermaloptima–theofthermalcondi-theyfeelcomfortable

Letter to the editor

Political vandalism happens every election cycle. And some of our neighbors are busy stirring an undercurrent of politi cal mischief. Is pulling an opponent’s campaign signs really a harmless prank? Basic high school civics teaches kids that tampering with or removing political signs is inconsistent with our traditions in a consti tutional republic. It’s not funny or cute. Everyone should know that mischief against a political oppo nent’s property is prohibit ed. Misdemeanor theft and trespassing are substantial crimes affecting one’s future prospects. Others can be implicated because abetting is also a crime. But misdemeanors are just the tip of the criminal iceberg. Political signs are protected speech. Removing them violates a candidate's federal constitutional rights and the right to free speech held by private property owners. Interference and dirty tricks are a tradition in some corners. But it’s not only detrimental to the public process, it’s illegal. Informed voters recognize what candidates represent. Some partisans act like they’re above the law, es pecially when they look the other way, and wink. Vote like law and order matters!

The first time I saw an electric bike — better known as an ebike — I was struggling up a hill. Suddenly, a silver-haired man came whizzing by in regular city clothes. I felt a wave of envy as he left me in the dust. That was probably five years ago, and since then ebike use has explod ed. In 2020, ebike sales in the United States for just the month of June totaled roughly $90 million, up 190 percent from the previous June.

“Grammar error — July 7 column” read the subject line of an email from a reader named Bill. The body text was concise: “As written: ‘… Jovin said she feels like she’s the beneficiary.’ Should be: ‘… Jovin said she feels as if she’s the beneficiary.’” In other words, Bill was saying I should get rid of “like” and use “as if”Thisinstead.isn’t the first time I’ve heard that “like” is wrong in a sentence like mine. And the people who take this position usually have good reason. Perhaps they read Eric Partridge’s “Usage and Abusage,” first published in 1942, which says: “‘Like’ for ‘as if’ is incorrect.” Partridge cites as an example of incor rect use this passage from “The Dragnet” by John G. Brandon: “Carted her out limp — looked like a chloroform-pad had been at Orwork.”maybe they read Theodore Bernstein’s influential 1965 book “The Careful Writer”: “‘Like’ cannot stand for ‘as if,’’ Bernstein insisted, “except for a few idiomatic phrases such as ‘The car looks like new’ and ‘They cheered likeOthercrazy.’”popular texts in the 20th century took the same position. Around that time, a far-reach ing ad campaign created controversy about “like” by declaring “Winston tastes good, like a cigarette should.” That should be “as,” not “like,” sticklers argued.Allthese objections cen ter on the fact that “like” is a preposition. A preposition takes a noun or pronoun as its object, for example “chicken” in “tastes like chicken.”Compare that to “as,” which is a (whichtheusedshould.”whole“like”know.”thejectclauses,notConjunctionsconjunction.canintroducejustnounsbutwholecompletewithsubandverb,forexample,“youknow”in“asyouTheWinstonadusedtointroducetheclause“acigaretteMyJulycolumn“like”tointroducewholeclause“she’s”isjustashortform of the clause “she is”). If you can’t use “like” to introduce a clause, then the ad copywriter and I were wrong. But we weren’t. First of all, like so many other words, “like” is more than just one part of speech. Look it up in the dictionary and you’ll see that, yes, it’s a preposition, but it’s also a verb, an adjective, a noun and (here it comes) a conjunction. So you can use “like” to intro duce a whole clause. But dictionaries reveal yet another reason why these objections to “like” are misguided: “like” can literally mean “as if.” Among its many defi nitions of “like,” Merri am-Webster’s Collegiate dictionary lists “as if.” So does American Heritage Dictionary. So does Web ster’s New World Col lege Dictionary. So does Dictionary.com, which adds: “‘Like’ as a conjunc tion meaning … ‘as if’ (‘It looks like it will rain’) has been used for nearly 500 years and by many distinguished literary and intellectual figures. Since the mid-19th century there have been objections, often vehement, to these uses. Nevertheless, such uses are almost universal today in all but the most formal speech and writing.” So on the one hand, you have widely respected authorities like Bernstein and Partridge saying you can’t use “like” to mean “as” or “as if.” On the other hand, you have dictionaries supplying two reasons why you can. Who’s right? Picking sides in lan guage disputes is easier than you might guess be cause no one has the power to prohibit a usage. So if some respected authorities say a usage is wrong and other respected authorities say it’s OK, the “wrong” camp is out of line. Because dictionaries say you can use “like” to mean “as if,” and also be cause they say that “like” is sometimes a conjunc tion, you can use “like” like you like. — June Casagrande is the author of “The Joy of Syntax: A Simple Guide to All the Grammar You Know You Should Know.” She can be reached at Jun eTCN@aol.com.

Rachel Fussell, program manager of the nonprofit PeopleForBikes, says that more than a battery boost, speed on trails reflects rider skill as well as trail design. She believes that all users observing proper trail etiquette would avert most potential conflicts. Celeste Young has been a biker all her life and now coaches moun tain biking. Her fleet of bicycles has recently grown to include an electric mountain bike. “The most negative thing I’ve heard is, ‘Oh, you’re cheating,’” she says. “But it’s just another way to be out there. You get an extra boost going up these really hard trails, so it makes a challenging trail fun, rather thanIt’sdemoralizing.”apuzzlingnotion that someone accused her of cheating. It would be one thing if you secretly put a motor in your bike during a race, but when it’s an amateur rider going out for fun and exercise, how is having an electronic boost cheating? The whole thing reminds me — a skier — of the controversy that erupt ed after snowboards appeared at ski resorts. They were new and fast, and their rhythm on the slope was differ ent than the rhythm of people on skis. We didn’t like them, and I doubt they liked us. But we’ve worked it out. Now, public land managers face the knotty problem of how much access to allow ebikes, and where, or whether to segregate them to their own trails. Welcome to the crowded West. Molly Absolon is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writerson therange.org, an independent non profit dedicated to spurring discus sion about Western issues. She lives in Victor, Idaho, and has worked as a wilderness educator, waiter, farmer and freelance journalist to support her outdoor recreation habit.

It’s hard to remember, but regular mountain bikes didn’t become com mercially available until the 1980s, and when the early adopters hit trails previously used only by hikers and horseback riders, conflicts happened fast.People claimed the bikes in creased erosion. They worried about collisions and scaring horses. They theorized that mountain bikes would frighten wildlife. Today, those same arguments are being used against electric mountain bikes. Once again, the controversy seems to stem from the fear of change, per haps some arrogance and maybe a lit tle jealousy. After all, since I suffered to get to the top of the climb on my own power, shouldn’t you? In 2017, the International Moun tain Bike Association, which had said that ebikes should be considered mo torized vehicles, softened its stance. Instead, it proposed that local land managers and user groups should determine — on a case-by-case basis — whether to allow ebikes on natu rally surfaced trails. Many members canceled their memberships. Some comments were harsh. One wrote, “If you’re too old to still ride the trails you love, do as many beforehand, reminisce about the good old days and encourage the young. Don’t throw them and our public land under the bus.” That kind of attitude does not bode well for land managers to find an easy compromise.So,whatare the impacts of electric mountain bikes. Do they harm trails, or cause more accidents? In 2015, the International Moun tain Bike Association studied the environmental impacts of mountain bikes, both electric and self-pro pelled, and found no appreciable differences between the two in terms of soil displacement on trails. Over all, bike impacts were similar to the impacts of hikers. Horses, motorcycles and off-road vehicles do much more damage to trails.As for problems caused by speed, traffic studies show that accidents and their severity escalate as dif ferences in speed increase. But do electrified bikes go that much faster than traditional bikes? To find out, Tahoe National Forest measured the top speeds reached by intermediate and advanced riders us ing both kinds of bikes. Differences on the downhills were small. On up hills, traditional bikers averaged 5-8 mph, while electric mountain bikes traveled 8-13 mph. This was a differ ence, but not enough of a difference to cause more accidents, especially if bikers alert others to their presence and ride in control.

Chosen as Clinical Employee of the Month

As I See It:

I will be running for the two-year term for mayor; incumbents Madeline Seymour and Chris Powell have filed for re-election, and Josh Adamson, a port executive, has filed for the seat now held by Peter Braun, who is not running again. Council seats are for fourFredyears.Gernandt posted this week that the sale of his gravel lot on First Street has closed. Gernandt said the new owner plans to build a hotel on the property, and we understand it is Marriott that will be coming to Bandon. I don't know the details, but I do know that it will be a big boost to the Old Town merchants who will have a built-in market of potential customers virtually at their doorstep. And they won't have to find a place to Speakingpark.of parking, the city has completed the paving and striping of the lot which is between First and Second Street (101) at Fillmore Avenue. It became necessary to purchase land for parking once the Gernandt lot was no longer available for lease. The VFW Flag Committee is hoping the public will assist them in purchasing a 10x20' building in which to store all of their cemetery flags. To date, the 152 flags have been stored in a person's garage, and he needs to reclaim the space. The Flag Committee is seeking donations, which are tax deductible, to assist with the cost of the project, expected to be about $8,500. People can send their donations to Bandon VFW Post 3440, 55352 Bates Road, Bandon, or call Harry Stephens at 541294-1048 (leave a message if he's not home). As expected, August was pretty dry with only 0.12 inches of rain reported, but that was still over twice the 0.05 recorded last August. The Fire of 1936

"It is time that this debris is cleared away; that the lots that once were occupied by busy mercantile establishments and by happy homes be at least permitted to enjoy the wholesome covering provided by Mother Nature." The editorial goes on to explain that the City is hoping to have a WPA crew come to Bandon and help with the clean up. "It may not be generally understood, but it is a fact that the reason Bandon beach did not attract the tourists and the weekend visitors during the past season, as it did before the ﬁre, is because of the unsightly view that nauseated visitors upon their arrival to the city. The depressive reaction of the debris-littered landscape has been more than visitors could stand, especially those who knew Bandon as it was before the ﬁre; those who looked forward each year to spending their vacation at the local beach." The second picture, of cranberry harvest equipment, illustrates a response by a leading cranberry grower to another editorial by my grandfather, Oct. 29, 1953, which talked about the Cranberry Festival (the seventh year for the event) and asked "Why don't the cranberry people take more active part in the Festival?"Andina subsequent Western World, grower Ethel (Mrs. Leslie) Kranick answered the question."In1941 a war broke out, the men went to war. The women were called to industrial and war occupations. In this particular locality the lumber industry boomed because of the need for lumber -- and cranberry growers were left without labor to harvest their crops. "Cranberry growers are not easily discouraged so they invented machines so they could harvest the berries themselves. They had to compete with wages paid lumber workers to get any help at all and that help is still very scarce. So, when festival time rolls around cranberry growers and their families are out struggling against time and weather to get their crops harvested and when night comes they are too darn tired to get enthusiastic about festivals, much as they would like to help.

"The festival idea was originated by the National Cranberry Association (later Ocean Spray) as an advertising stunt while over-coming a huge surplus that had depressed the market. Nearly all cranberry growers help to pay for this advertising found in many national magazines -- so the advertising gained for the home town is not of monetary value to the grower."Dothe rose growers run the Rose Festival?" asked Mrs. Kranick (who married Walter Reichenbach after Leslie died) in closing her letter.Pictured with a harvester, in a photo taken in 1974, are Jim Olson and his son-in-law Mike Carver.Ilove this third photo, probably taken during the cranberry festival in 1956 of Mrs. Nellie Biggar's first grade. I can only identify four of the students, but hopefully some of my readers will recognize the others. The boy third from left is Reg Pullen; next to him is Rich Gorman. The boy in front of the power pole is Tim McCue, and the little boy leaning over the edge is Rick Howard. In the early days, the festival was held in October or late September, which gave each class time to build a float for the parade ... or actually gave the parents and the teachers time to come up with a float, and some of them were absolutely grand. There is a lot going on this weekend with the annual Bandon Cranberry Festival, Cranberry Country Jamboree, opening Thursday night, with the coronation of the queen at the Sprague Theater beginning at 7. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door. Princesses are Hollie Minkler, KayDence Augsburger and Rhiannon Green. Most of the events are being held at City Park. I am only going to highlight what for years have been the main events, but there are lots of other things going on this weekend, as well. You can find the information at bandon. com or coosevents.com. The Tigers will host Colton in the annual Cranberry Bowl Game on Friday night, beginning at 6 p.m. The queen and her court will be presented at halftime, and the top three Cranberry Kitchen winners will be announced. This will be Bandon's first football as the game scheduled for last Friday with Sheridan was cancelled because Sheridan did not have enough players to field a Namedteam.grand marshals of the Grand Festival Parade, slated for 10 a.m. Saturday (gathering on Ninth near the high school), will be Patricia Seidler and Cathy Underdown, both being honored for their long years of volunteerism.Seidler,who recently celebrated her 98th birthday, moved to Bandon in 2014 to be near her daughter, Madeline Seymour, who is president of the CityCathyCouncil.Underdown and her late husband, Steve, moved to Bandon in January 1999 with their infant twins, Darby and Max.

The parade will travel north down Highway 101, and through Old Town. There will be live music throughout the day in the park, and people are urged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets to sit on the grass.Bands slated to play on the north stage are Tiller of the Moon (11a.m.-1 p.m.); Paul Bernadon (1:30-3); Sly & Co. (3:30-5:30); and on the main stage, South Fork Four (11-1); Rogue Strings (1:30-3); Hecktic Week (3:30 to 5:30) and The High Deductibles, 6:30 to 9:30 for the evening dance. Live music will also take place on Sunday on both stages beginning at 11 a.m. The cranberry car show will be in the park from noon to 5 p.m. There will be plenty of opportunity to shop, as the Old Town Marketplace will be open Friday and Saturday, 11 to 3; the Festival Vendors Market will be in City Park Saturday (11-5) and Sunday (10-4); and some of the Bandon merchants will be participating in Cranberry City, with special sales. Look for signs in participating merchants' windows. The Festival Food Court will be open from 11-9 on Saturday and from 10-4 on Sunday.Cranberry festival memorabilia will be on display at the Bandon Historical Museum Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with free admission. On Sunday, the Bandon Lions Cranberry Run will take place at 4 p.m.

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN The first picture is a grim reminder of what the bay looked like after the Fire of 1936. As you can see in the background, people had started to rebuild on Second Street, and side streets like Baltimore, but the debris in the harbor told the story, and it wasn't a pretty picture. The building at left was built by Ernie Panter and today is the Big Wheel. An editorial, written by my grandfather in February of 1938, is titled "Should Remove the Debris." "Bandon's fire-razed area is littered with debris. Business and residence lots alike are a mass of twisted iron, brick, and concrete. The iron is bright with rust, a constant reminder of the flames that wrought havoc in September 1936.

100 YEARS — 1922 Umpqua harbor prospects good People pleased after visit of army engineers Officials look over the harbor and give encouragement as to the prospects The people of Reedsport and Gardiner were pleased with the result of the recent visit of the army engineers, Col. Schultz and Major Mayo.

Briggs From A1 Contributed photo Twenty years after he left the mayor's office in North Bend, John Briggs is running again, say ing the need for new leadership made him re-enter local politics.

“This is the first time that the army engineers who are newly appointed have had an opportunity to visit this section of the state and view the conditions of the Lower Umpqua river and the feasibility of making this one of the best harbors on the coast. The gentlemen were surprised at the volume of water and the tidal area of the Lower Umpqua river and appeared to be very much interested in the proposed de velopment of the harbor and the completion of the north jetty.The question of locating and dredging a channel through the shoals that to a great degree obstructs the navigation of vessels which draw over sixteen feet of water between this point and the bar were to some extent discussed. This will be solely a matter for the engineers themselves to be decided upon in the future. At the pres ent the government engineers are interested only in the finishing of the construction of the north jetty. Bandon team is county champion Bandon wins all the final games from Marshfield Local players make a bad showing and Bandon men simply outclass them The Bandon baseball team is the champion of Coos county. Bandon and Marshfield played off for three games to decide the championship. Marshfield went to pieces and did not make a good showing at all. The game at Bandon Sunday resulted in a victory for Bandon with a score of 8 to 1. Willis pitched for Marshfield, and Hayes and Keene both made home runs off of him. In the two games at North Bend Sunday, there was nothing to it. Bandon won the second game with a score of 10 to 1. This game gave them the championship but another game was played to entertain the spectators, but Marshfield could not pick up any. Bandon simply outplayed them. In the two games, about $750 was taken in. This is to be divided between the players, 60 per cent going to Bandon and 40 per cent to Marshfield. There was not much money changing hands on the games as the betting was light. Big increase in the city schools Enrollment greater by 96 than last year The enrollment in the Marshfield schools on the open ing day of the fall term yesterday shows a big increase which indicated that many new families have taken up their residence in the city.

Prefontaine qualifies in 5,000 MUNICH (UPI) — Steve Prefontaine, America’s hope for a gold medal in the 5,000 meters, ran a good race today but was content to settle for second in a trial heat behind Emiel Puttemans of Belgium, who set an Olympic record. Puttemans overtook Prefontaine on the final lap and set a new Olympic record of 13:31.9 for the distance.

Prefontaine, a communications student at the Universi ty of Oregon, was timed in 13:32.6 to also qualify for the final Sunday. 20 YEARS — 2002 Local lifters qualify for world meet Three Bay Area men placed well at the recent North American Bench Press and Deadlift Championships in Portland. Knute Matthews, competing in Class 1 at 174 pounds, finished second in the bench press. Matthews lifted 285 pounds in the event. Garrette Langmead, competing in Class 1 at 144 pounds, won both the bench press (254.5 pounds) and dead lift (430 pounds) and set a state record in the latter competition. He also was named best lifter for the light weights in the deadlift (lifters under 200 pounds). Cheek took first place in the dead lift in the 210-pound division of the Master III Class with a best of 450 pounds.Close to 400 people competed in the three-day event. All three men qualified for the WABDL (World Asso ciation Bench Deadlift) World Bench Press and Deadlift Championship, which will be Nov. 14-18 at Reno, Nev.

The total enrollment in both the high school and grades this year is 910 as compared to 814 at the end of the first week last year, showing an increase of 96 in the city. The total in the high school this year is 269 while last year the total at the end of the first month was 220. Superintendent Howard says that likely 50 will enter the high school during the midyear term so that the total enrollment will likely be 300. The increase this year is probably greater than shown in Marshfield at any previous time. There was a big increase at the opening of school in 1920 compared to 1919 but this was true all over the country. This year the increase seems to be entirely due to local conditions.

Free fishing poles, derby work to help salmon in Coquille River

By NANCy KELLER For The World

Joshua Bettesworth say STEP is “making a concerted effort to use hatch boxes and are strong ly working to renew hatchery growth as well as education programs. The derby is a small snapshot of our work as a group. We have a strong group of STEP volunteers and wonderful local community partners. We do have many regulations to abide by through ODFW; however, we are seeingWithsuccess.”thederby, 1,700 small mouth bass were collected and given to people who asked for them and the rest will be turned into crab bait. Right now, the salmon are in the low river and the bay so fishing the upper rivers mostly result in hooking the nuisance fish. By reducing the smallmouth bass population, population of salmon can thrive better and hopefully dominate the river again. This is only a small “step” to helping bring back the salmon. A 5-year-old named Cameron receive a free fishing rod, imme diately headed to the docks after his grandfather paid his derby fee and later excitedly raced back to the STEP table with his small mouth bass. It had a $100 prize electronic chip and when asked what he planned to do with his money, he exclaimed he planned to take his mom on a “hot date.”

STEP welcomes volunteers who would like to invest time and energy to save the Coquille River. Meetings are held every sec ond Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Coquille firehall.

STEP is “making a concerted effort to use hatch boxes and are strongly working to renew hatchery growth as well as education programs. The derby is a small snapshot of our work as a group. We have a strong group of STEP volunteers and won derful local commu nity partners. We do have many regulations to abide by through ODFW; however, we are seeing success.”

This last weekend, 120 free fishing poles were handed out to kids 16 and younger at Sturdi vant Park near the boat ramp. STEP (Salmon and Trout En hancement Program) was using this event to educate and promote fish health of the Coquille River. A derby was also held with a $20 entrance fee where fisher men were given the opportunity to fish for specially electronic chipped fish that when scanned gave prizes of $50, $100, $500 and $1000. As of Saturday evening, the $1,000 chipped fish were still swimming in the river. Nearly 400 tickets for the derby were sold Saturday. The invasive smallmouth bass were probably introduced in the 1980s and outcompete the salm on for food and habitat. When the smallmouth bass arrived, the Salmon population plummeted from 32,000 returning to spawn in the Coquille River to only 108 this year. This is a near extinction event. STEP is a legislatively appointed group of volunteers to enhance fish health. They are 100 volunteers strong. They are working with the Coquille Tribes and ODF&W to try and make the Coquille River once again be “the” salmon river which would support the fishing industry, the local restaurants and tourism.

Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative hosted a school supply drive that collected school supplies for hundreds of students in Curry and Coos counties. Hundreds of youths in the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative service territory will have many of their school supply needs met for the coming school year thanks to a drive held by CCEC and Beacon Broadband. The cooperative hosted a school supply drive throughout August, where members dropped off donations at their local CCEC offices. Supplies were divided into re usable bags for youth to pick up in Brookings, Gold Beach, Port Orford and the Coquille CCEC offices. “We are impressed by the gen erosity of our members. As a co operative, one of our principles is “Concern for Community,” and a drive like this one allows us to help families in our community to offset some of the costs asso ciated with a new school year,” said Keith Buchhalter, CCEC’s marketing and member services manager.Abigthank you goes to the Dollar Tree in Brookings for donating thousands of dollars’ worth of supplies. The electric cooperative also wants to thank the members who contributed to this incredible school supplies drive and the CCEC Community Involvement Committee for coordinating the event.
