Sticker Shock!

Gasoline prices jump over $5 in Oregon, again

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media

You may have noticed prices at local gasoline stations in creased significantly over the past several days. In some areas, the prices rose between 25 cents to 50 cents per gallon.

This is occurring at a time when the price of gasoline usually declines because of less summer travel.

After 14 weeks of declines, gas prices are on the rise, soaring on the West Coast and in the Midwest with more moderate

increases in other parts of the country, according to the latest American Automobile Associa tion (AAA) Price survey.

For the week, the average price per gallon in Oregon rockets up 50 cents to $5.14. The national average for regular adds seven cents to $3.75 a gallon. The Oregon average is the largest weekly jump in the nation.

“Multiple refineries in the Los Angeles area and a refinery in Washington State are experienc ing either planned or unplanned refinery work which could last several more days," Oregon/Ida

ho AAA Public Affairs Director Marie Dodds said. This has put a significant crimp in supplies and sent pump prices soaring in this region. In addition, the Olympic pipeline in Washington is due for maintenance, perhaps as early as this week.”

Hurricane Ian also has the po tential to cause problems, Dodds said, depending on the storm’s track, by disrupting oil produc tion, refining and transportation in the Gulf of Mexico.

Lillies of the Field leaves no horse behind

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Shania Lillie grew up loving horses and always had a soft spot in her heart for horses others struggled to care for. So it made perfect sense when Lillie and her family moved to Coos County that they would open a horse rescue.

"I grew up with horses and unofficially have been rescuing horses my entire life," she said. "It's just something I always wanted to do. When I got out of the military, I had all the VA ben efits, so I said 'I guess I can start the rescue because that's what I wanted to do.'"

So Lillie did just that, open ing Lillies of the Field Equine Rescue. The rescue originally started in Langlois before mov ing to a larger location outside of Myrtle Point.

The rescue currently has seven horses, one Lillie rescued in Virginia while serving in the mil itary and a second her husband rescued. The remaining five were rescued after Lillies of the Field officially opened earlier this year.

"The mare we got in Febru ary, the owner had her her entire life," Lillie said. "She had good training, but her manners were really violent. She really didn't need any riding training, she just needed interaction training."

Lillie said the horse would bite its owner and was really aggres sive toward food. After just a few weeks of training at Lillies of the Field, the horse made a complete

turnaround and is now used as a trainer horse at the rescue.

"She's honestly amazing," Lil lie said. "She's my best kid horse. She can be led around by little kids, she can be led around by adults. It took us six weeks from when we got her to where she could be part of the lessons pro gram. She just needed guidance. I think was just pretty happy to get the attention. Just how different she was when we first got her to now. She's my easiest horse. I can take her anywhere and anyone can ride her."

Lillies of the Field also rescued three stallions from a breeder in Idaho.

"The three stallions were the last. Nobody wanted them, ab solutely nobody," Lillie said. "I told them, 'we will come get the last of the pickings that nobody wants because those are the ones at greatest risk for slaughter.'"

The oldest stallion, a 20-yearold, was very aggressive and also had physical issues. After getting his physical ailments fixed and with consistent training, that horse is also a model.

"He's a totally different horse," Lillie said. "He's super sweet. He will follow me around. He's not a crazy stallion at all. It's crazy how a different environment really helps them."

Lillie said seeing the differ ence in the animals, often in just a couple of months, shows that in the right hands even the toughest horses are redeemable.

"Seeing where we got them from and how much better they

are, and just how happy they are, that's why we do it," she said.

Rescuing horses is a key component of the work done at Lillies of the Field, but it's not the only one.

"Another part of our mission is educate the public," Lillie said. "A lot of people want to rescue horses, but they have no idea what to do. Education to the public is a big thing, because, to be honest, it's the humans that create the reason horses have to be rescued."

Lillie said she offers lessons for those new to horses to educate them and prepare them to be owners.

"I cater to the people who have never really been around horses before," she said. "Some of my lessons are because people need confidence boosters. They haven't been around horses for a while or they had an accident. I teach everything horse. I don't just teach you how to ride. I teach you how to care for the horse, how to lead the horse, how to be safe around horses."

The lessons are offered for all ages, with many children coming to learn how to ride and how to lead horses. While the lessons are valuable for people, they are also good for the horses, all that come with some "baggage."

"I would say it's going good," Lillie said. "It's good for my horses to get out and have other people ride them. It's good for me to be able to articulate my lessons."

Walkers bring suicide out of the darkness

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The names were everywhere Saturday as hundreds of people gathered to bring suicide out of the darkness.

Vance, Tucker, Mike, Ryan, Kay Lynn, Ian, Rudy and on and on. Every name was someone remembered by a loved one after they took their own life.

And during Suicide Preven tion Month, those left behind along came together to remem ber their loved one and to work to stop suicides in the future.

The Our of the Darkness Walk hosted by the American Founda tion for Suicide Prevention was an effort to shine the light on a major problem in Oregon, one of the worst states in the nation for suicides.

It was also an opportunity to raise money for the AFSP, almost all that will be kept in Coos County to continue suicide prevention efforts at home.

"We work to save lives and to bring hope," said Erin Weldon, the Oregon area director for the AFSP. "We work to create a cul ture and a community where it's safe to talk about mental health

Skateboarder raising money for suicide awareness

Eugene man travels through Coos, Curry coun ties on skateboarding mission to San Francisco

BY BREEAnA LAUghLIn The World

Mike Crespino is a man on a mission to honor the lives of two teen men from his community.

Crispino passed through Coos and Curry counties in September on his mission skateboard 831 miles from his hometown in Eu gene, Ore. to San Francisco, Cali. to bring awareness to suicide and struggles with mental health.

Crispino is also being joined by Brookings resident Ethan Hall, who has been with him since start of the journey by of fering support if he should need it in a vehicle.

Crispino lost two of his friends, Ben Moody and Silas Strimple, as a result of suicide and untreated mental health issues.

“Both were loved, colorful and respected members of the Eugene skateboarding communi ty and their loss has had a lasting effect on their families and on the young community in Eu gene,” Crispino said.

“I chose to take the 101 route because as I’ve come to know

and witness for myself that coastal communities and Curry County specifically have higher numbers of suicide and difficulty with barriers and access to prop er care,” he said.

In Crispino’s opinion, “We have a state of emergency on our hands.”

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 10-24 year olds in Oregon, and suicide rates in Oregon have been higher than U.S. rates over the past 10 years, according to Oregon Suicide Prevention.

“It is difficult to pin down the root cause – but I have high hopes during my travels that what I’m wishing to accomplish locally in Eugene will also in spire others,” Crispino said.

Crispino said he has already made lasting connections along his journey – includingsome in Coos and Curry counties.

“While I was briefly in Curry County, anyone that noticed me skateboarding and every person

The skateboarder said he thinks this probably stems from the stigma of suicide and the discomforts involved in such a conver sation. But these conver sations are worth having, he said.

“Of the people I’ve made connections with, many feel unseen, unsup ported and left on their own to manage,” he said.

skater myself (at age 48) I have seen a great many young people find the fo cus, community and solace they crave from the sport just as I have in my own life,” Crispino said.

The skateboarder said the loss of the two Eugene skateboarders has left many other community members feeling left be hind – and they are in need of support as well.

“Our youth in Eugene are saying they do not know where to go for their own struggles and I’d like to do something about that if I can,” he said.

Crispino said his hope is to not only memorialize the friends he has lost, but also to spur the growth of community programs and resources to support others health and well-being.

“I want programs for the youth that they can easily access should they ever need it. That is also my ultimate goal of my trip,” Crispino said.

Weldon said she came to Coos Bay to participate in the walk be cause the local event has become one of the top ones in the state.

"We do these walks through out the state," she said. "Coos County has more community sponsors than any other walk. This is a community coming together to make change."

Lance Nelson, the chapter president for AFSP in Coos

County, said seeing the turnout was a strong message to those struggling. He said even at the walk, there were likely those considering harming themselves.

"If you have a struggle, look around," Nelson said. "You are truly, truly not alone."

Nelson said the goal of the Out of the Darkness Walk was to raise $27,000 and before the event even started, more than

$35,000 was raised.

After hearing from speak ers and watching an emotional bead ceremony, the walkers left Mingus Park, moving through downtown Coos Bay before returning to the park.

The goal in taking the event downtown, always moving against traffic, was to bring the scourge of suicide out of the dark ness in an effort to save lives.

Party at the Playhouse returns this month

Party at the Playhouse returns to the Dolphin Playhouse after a two year COVID hiatus with the production of Savannah Sipping Society, by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten on Oct.

14. Postponed from last summer, this laugh-a-min ute comedy is the perfect complement to the Party at the Playhouse, the Dolphin Players’ annual fundraiser.

Tickets for the gala are $40 and include the show, catering by Shawn Cragun,

wine or beer, door prizes and the opportunity to mingle with the cast after the performance.

Originally scheduled for last summer, Savannah Sipping Society features four unique Southern women of a certain age, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-today routines. The four are drawn together by Fate—and an impromptu happy hour—and decide it’s high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve

lost through the years.

Over the course of six months filled with laugh ter, hilarious misadven tures, and nonstop liquid refreshment, the women successfully bond and find the confidence to jumpstart their new lives. Togeth er they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment and, most impor tantly, realize it’s never too late to make new old friends.

The Dolphin production features Bay Area theater veterans Michele Moore,

Semantha West, Brenda Sund, and Joy McCarthy and is directed by Alice Carlson.

Masks are recommend ed, but not required, and there is no vaccination requirement for this show. During the COVID break, improvements were made to the theater’s ventilation system, increasing safety and comfort.

Tickets are available from board members, by emailing the theater at dol phinplayers@gmail.com, or by calling the theater 541-808-2611.

Gas Prices

From A1

and Oregon averages had been declining for 14 con secutive weeks, backing away from record highs set in mid-June. The national average reached its record high of $5.016 on June 14 while the Oregon average reached its record high of $5.548 on June 15.

“Lackluster demand for gas and lower crude oil prices should take some pressure off of rising pump prices," Dodds said. "But drivers can expect a very volatile couple of weeks due to the refinery issues as well as Hurricane Ian slam ming the Gulf Coast."

Crude oil prices have tumbled from recent highs due to fears of economic slowdowns elsewhere around the globe. Crude reached a recent high of $122.11 per barrel on June

8, and ranged from about $94 to $110 per barrel in July. In August, crude prices ranged between about $86 and $97. In September, crude prices have been between about $76 and $89 per barrel. Last week, West Texas Intermediate fell below $80 per barrel for the first time since January, ac cording to the AAA report.

Crude prices rose dramat ically leading up to and in the first few months of Rus sia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Russia is one of the world’s top oil producers and its involvement in a war causes market volatility, and sanc tions imposed on Russia by the U.S. and other western nations resulted in tighter global oil supplies. Oil supplies were already tight around the world as demand for oil increased as pandem ic restrictions eased. A year ago, crude was around $75 per barrel compared to $77 today, the AAA report states.

February 13, 1944 – August 14, 2022

LaDeane Alyse Kelley passed away on Sunday, August 14, 2022 in Coos Bay, Oregon. She was born in Sacramento, California, to Raymond and Allise Grenberg in February, 1944. She attended Walla Walla University then taught briefly before starting a family. In the early 1990s, she married Michael Kelley and together they made Bandon, Oregon their home.

LaDeane was preceded in death by her parents;

sister, Raylene and brother, Jack. She is survived by her daughter, Lara; daughter, Kirsten; and brother, John.

LaDeane was a talented seamstress and interior decorator. She loved gardening, reading and caring for her cats. She will be missed by her family.

In lieu of flowers, anyone wishing to honor LaDeane's memory is asked to make a donation to the Oregon Coast Humane Society.

Morgan Gardner

September 27, 1961 – September 14, 2022

So beloved by all her kith and kin, Morgan Gardner left this sphere on September 14, 2022. She is survived by her brother, Wade Liddell Gardner; her mother, Peggy Gardner; and many loving uncles, aunts, cousins, and friends.

Born in Fairfield, California on September 27, 1961, Morgan spent her years in California, Oklahoma, and Kansas before

moving to Bandon on the South Coast of Oregon.

Psalm 63 best describes her loving spirit: “In the shadow of your wings, I will sing for joy.”

The words of her favorite bear, Winnie the Pooh, speak to our beautiful, courageous, generous-toa-fault girl: “The things that make me different are the things that make me.”

All of those who knew and loved her will always know jubilation.

Coos County facing lawsuite over ballot scanners

On Tuesday, September 20, 2022 Coos County Commissioner Melissa Cribbins was served with a Complaint filed in Coos County Civil Court case number 22CV24082.

This Complaint was filed by Plantiffs, Pamela Lewis and Diane Rich who were candidates for Coos County Commission and County Clerk.

The case involved election improprieties

including the use of inaccurate and non-federally compliant ballot scanners that have not been used according to the operating manual.

These scanners do not operate with folded, taped, or ripped ballots and the ballots Coos County Clerk provided during the 2022 primary were folded, the paper was of poor quality, and the Clerk allowed the ballots to be taped prior

to being inserted into the scanners. These intentional actions increased the adjudication rates to 6%. That means that the Clerk got to vote every 6th ballot in a hundred ballots.

In addition, Coos County ballot scanners have built-in modems. They are subject to being hacked by using a backdoor method which now a well-known election issue.

The Interim County Clerk refused to allow

observation of the ballot couriers which may violate both Federal and State laws which call for two couriers, from different parties to transport the ballots. She even failed to deputize couriers until after they had transported ballots.

In addition, a nefarious marking was added to the outside of the return envelope which was easy to read and provided the party affiliation of the ballot

contained inside.

The Clerk failed to meet her plan to report results and held the ballots hostage for 5 days without reporting the results of more than 6,000 ballots. This left citizens without accurate information regarding the election results.

Most importantly, in a suit filed against the Oregon Secretary of State we learned that the scanners used by Coos County have not been certified for use

since 2017. You can not certify an election using equipment that doesn’t meet federal guidelines for accuracy and lacks certification.

Attorney Tyler Smith has agreed to litigate the case for the Plantiff’s and he feels that there are many legal issues that the County will need to correct and that Pam Lewis and Diane Rich will be victorious in their case against the Interim Clerk and Commissioners Cribbins and Sweet.

Manufacturing industry needs help to thrive

By Sen. Dick AnDerSon AnD Jim Fitzhenry

In nearly every corner of Oregon, manufacturers provide living-wage jobs while innovating constantly to increase sustainabili ty. They make wine and cheese, paper and wood products. They turn recy cled plastic into broadband conduit and garbage into paper products. They make semiconductors, too.

The success of the man ufacturing sector has made Oregon a national outlier.

Manufacturing employ ment increased by 14% between 1969 and 2019 even as manufacturing jobs nationwide declined by 34%, according to research conducted by ECONorth west. That’s a good thing, as median earnings for full-time manufacturing employees exceed those of workers in other indus tries by 17%, a premium that exists across racial and ethnic categories.

In total, manufacturing contributes $33 billion to Oregon’s gross domestic product annually. A 10% increase in manufacturing output would generate an additional $800 million in state and local government revenue.

But will such growth happen? It’s tempting to assume that manufacturing will continue to thrive in Oregon simply because it has in the past. But growth isn’t guaranteed. In fact, Oregon could rapidly lose the gains the state has seen over the past 40 years unless state lawmakers listen more carefully to em ployers and seek to create the conditions they need to thrive.

Employers featured in Oregon Business & Indus try’s recent Manufacturing and Innovation Roadshow pointed time and again to a few problems that make growing businesses in Oregon difficult.

The first involves Ore gon’s chronic shortage of buildable industrial land. Fixing this problem will not require a drastic re consideration of Oregon’s established land-use sys tem. Rather, it will require a bipartisan, good-faith effort to better balance the need to preserve farms and forests with the need to provide land for other important uses, including manufacturing.

The second problem involves Oregon’s regula tory climate. By and large, the manufacturers who

participated in the Road show praised the respon siveness of city and county governments. At the same time, almost all noted the difficulty of dealing with state agencies. Problems include the siloed and often oppositional nature of agency rulemaking and the difficulty of obtaining air and water permits. Oregon should seek to create clear and consistent policies and help employers comply with them.

Finally, the Legislature should consider incentives that align with the needs of manufacturers and maintain Oregon’s compet itiveness. Manufacturers spend heavily on innova tion, including the adop tion of technologies and processes to operate more sustainably. For many, meanwhile, providing child care for employees would be feasible with the right incentives.

Oregon lawmakers could say “no” to such chang es, and various groups will urge them to do just that. But this would have costs, including the loss of lucrative jobs and Oregon’s hard-won status as a leader in innovation, manufac turing, and sustainable approaches. This would happen, ironically, just as the country is waking up to the need to grow domestic manufacturing capacity.

Instead, Oregon should support the kind of inno vation and commitment to sustainability the Manufac turing Roadshow spotlight ed in August. In Woodburn, for example, Cascade Poly Pipe and Conduit trans forms recycled plastic into conduit used in power and broadband projects. And in Toledo, Georgia Pacific’s Juno facility extracts paper fiber from household trash, a technology that soon will be available on a commer cial scale.

Helping manufactur ers innovate, thrive and provide living-wage jobs should not be a partisan issue. That’s why we’d like to urge Democrats and Re publicans to work together to that end.

Sen. Dick Anderson, R-Lincoln City, represents District 5 in the Oregon Legislature and participat ed in this summer’s Man ufacturing and Innovation Roadshow. Jim Fitzhenry owns two manufacturing companies in Portland and chairs the Manufacturing Council of Oregon, an ini tiative of Oregon Business & Industry.

Remembering Farm Animals

Letters to the editor

I just learned about World Day for Farmed Animals, coming up on October 2 (Gandhi's birth date). It has been around since 1983 and is meant to memorialize the billions of animals abused and killed for food each year.

Like many, I always considered farm animals only as a source of food. But, after recently watching the documentary Speciesism, I real ized that farm animals are much like our family pets, deserving of love and respect.

I’ve learned that farm animals get neither on today's factory farms. Male baby chicks are ground up alive or suffocated in garbage bags. Hens are crowded in small wire cages that tear out their feathers. Breeding pigs spend their lives pregnant in metal cages. Calves are snatched from their mothers upon birth, so we can drink their milk.

The cruelty of factory farming drove me to replace animal products in my diet with plant-based meat and dairy items. I have since learned that my cruelty-free diet is also great for my health and for the health of our planet.

The wrong kind of experience

Just a quick note in regard to Richard Kuznitsky's letter promoting the experience of Val Hoyle com pared to Alek Skarlatos. Everything he says is true with one small issue. Val's experience does not share the priorities of we the people.

Look at the experience of our current president and ask yourself how it's helping? Alek is an intel ligent articulate man in case you have never heard him speak. He will catch on fast. Representatives in the people's house were never meant to be life time politicians but ordinary citizens stepping up to serve and then go home. We here in the fourth district finally have a chance for real change. What did Pete accomplish in his 30 plus years? Every thing currently wrong with our government happened on his watch.

It was way past the point of blaming the other guy. We have had enough of the woke democrat agenda and it's time to go another direction for Oregon's 4th.

I am voting for Briggs

I am voting for John Briggs this November for mayor of the City of North Bend!

The mayor has to be a person that is vested in returning phone calls from community constituents to help address their concerns. I personally have notified the city administrator and the mayor several times informing them both that the city’s phone system is non operational, calls are not routed to a live person, messages are not re turned and basic services are not being provided to the community.

A person in a mayor’s position has to have strong leadership skills that model collaborative professional conduct while working with diverse personalities with different perspec tives. When the public presented a petition indicating concerns that no

Guest CoLumn

procedures were followed prior to over developing an extension of the Frisbee golf course that now takes over Ferry Road Park, the communi ty had a right for the mayor and the council to listen to these concerns to find a democratic resolution. Instead the community members were com pletely ignored..

What is unique about North Bend is that the city is small enough to have the community involved in decisions about their city’s growth. When large grants of money are giv en to the city (e.g. $100,000 COVID Relief Funds or $2.16 million for the American Rescue Plan Act) the community members who are the stakeholders should be presented with a few ideas and asked for input on how we would like to spend grants or developmental funding.

John Briggs is vested in listening to the community and serving their interests while preserving North Bend City’s uniqueness.

This is why I am voting for John Briggs for mayor of North Bend this November.

Unlimited ATV trafic

Ballot measure #6-198 would allow ATVs "direct access" to an existing ATV route in Lakeside.

I hope Lakeside voters are aware that this unenforceable measure would have the effect of opening all Lakeside streets to unlimited ATV traffic. If you want unrestricted ATV traffic in Lakeside that is what you will see. Let's keep off-road toys off our streets.

Opinion: Biden Sends Politicized DOJ After Pro-Life Pennsylvania Dad

By chriStine FlowerS InsideSources.com

When it comes to pro-life activism, I am a keyboard warrior, albeit a fierce one. I write my mes sages about abortion and morality and send them out to anyone who will listen. What’s the worst that can happen on the web? I get hate-filled emails telling me I should be sexually assaulted and then see where I’d stand on a “rape exception.” It comes with the territory.

Yes, I’ve also prayed the rosary in front of the Planned Parenthood clinic down the street from my apartment, quietly and without any interaction with clinic escorts. But my body has never been on the line.

That’s why what just happened to Bucks County, Pa., pro-life activist Mi chael Houck sent a chill down my spine. From where I sit — safely loung ing behind my laptop — Houck looks like a very loud canary in an extreme ly troubling coal mine.

This past week, a SWAT team of federal agents came to Houck’s home wielding an arsenal of as sault weapons and arrested him, in front of his family, and over what?

One year ago, he had an altercation outside an abortion clinic where he was praying and protest ing. According to state ments from Houck and the Department of Justice, the

incident involved — at most — some shoving between Houck and a pro-abortion activist who, Houck claims, was whispering pornographic comments into the ears of Hauck’s 12-year-old son with him at the clinic during the peaceful pro test. The man fell back, suffered no injuries, and then filed a lawsuit. No injuries, no claim.

The suit was dismissed.

And now the Biden administration is send ing in the big guns for a high-profile arrest? Even if you accept the worst-case scenario of Houck’s behav ior, an early morning raid of his house nearly a year later still makes no sense. While he’s charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrance Act, there was no evidence that Houck blocked any entrance or that any wom an was denied an abortion because of his actions.

Once again, even if there were, what did the body-armor adorned FBI agents fear? That he would brandish his Bible?

The FBI’s Philly office claims the description of 20 to 25 officers on the scene of the arrest “is an overstatement,” but they don’t give a specific num ber or deny that guns were drawn. All for a husband and father whose attorney had already told the DOJ he would turn himself in if asked.

The DOJ’s action makes sense only if you see that

federal law enforcement has become a politicized arm of the Biden administration, which has decided that the right to an abortion is the only thing that allows wom en to survive in this preda tory, patriarchal society. The president and his supporters are rabid advocates for the most extreme policies, including demonizing those of us who respect the life of unborn children. Many of us are people of faith, but even more are people who respect and believe in science, a sci ence that tells us that from the moment of conception, human life exists.

And now that Biden has the Justice Department cops on speed dial, he has decided to use its power in the most dramatic and de spicable ways. That SWAT team was not sent out to arrest one family man, surrounded by his seven kids and worried wife, who has done nothing that can actually be prosecuted at the federal or state levels.

Instead, Biden’s DOJ has put all pro-life ac tivists on notice that we have a target on our backs and that our activism is now in the “potential domestic terrorism” category. Remember Biden’s ‘Red Dawn’ speech in Philadelphia a few weeks ago when he labeled “MAGA Republi can” Trump supporters a danger to our democracy? That speech with the redand-black lighting was like a staff meeting on the Death Star.

Did you notice how Biden included among the enemies of the state “MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards to an America where there is no right to choose”?

And now it takes a village of stormtroopers to arrest one pro-life dad?

There is a very danger ous trend developing in this country, and it’s not just on social media. Note the rise in anti-Catholic hate crimes, with churches being vandalized and opin ion pieces in elite journals about “assault rosaries.”

When the armed agents came, Houck announced the presence of his children and pleaded for the federal officers to put down their guns and that he would come peaceful ly. According to his wife, that’s not what happened. They staged the same sort of assault that the officers in the Elian Gonzalez controversy executed over a generation ago. That, too, was under a Demo cratic regime.

Philly’s leafy suburbs were the scene of the most recent example of Biden administration thuggery and overreach. Given the heated rhetoric from the commander in chief, it will likely not be the last.

Bridge in way of moving logs

Peculiar condition exists on the north fork

If freshet brings logs down the bridge will go — if logs can’t be moved loss is great

A peculiar and somewhat un fortunate condition exists on the north fork of the Coquille river and it may result in the loss of a railroad bridge or heavy loss to logging operators.

The Southern Pacific is build ing a railroad bridge across the north fork. There is a temporary bridge made on piling. Above the bridge in the low water is being held a quantity of logs valued at $150,000. They are owned by Geo. Chaney and others.

A freshet is expected at any time. Some of the logs can be held but there are enough which are loose that they would be car ried down by a freshet and would cause the temporary bridge to be washed away. The force of the logs would be too much for the bridge to withstand.

ON the other hand if the logs cannot all be brought down on a freshet they might have to be held for a long time which would

entail great loss to the owners as they would not be able to get them to market and get their money out of the logs.

In the meantime the Southern Pacific is hastening the work in the hopes of getting it through and the temporary bridge out of the way in time to avoid disaster to either the railroad or misfor tune to the logging operators.

Coquille adds to Hall of Fame

By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

Track and field was a com mon thread for the four athletes inducted into the Coquille High School Hall of Fame in a banquet Saturday at the Coquille Com munity Building.

Wesa (Gardner) Liles (Class of 1969), Royce Nelson (Class of 1984), Mike Layton (Class of 1987) and Dana (Brice) Cox (Class of 1994) all starred in track and field for the Red Devils.

Also honored were Patsy Dieu, who received the George Johnson Booster of the Year Award; the late Bud Grant (Class of 1958), who received the outstanding achievement award; and the 1995 volleyball team that was the school’s first to place at the state tournament.

Liles, who was unable to attend the ceremony because of an illness, came through the school at a time when the only sanctioned sport was track and field, and when she was a senior placed sixth in the state meet in the 100-yard hurdles to become the first girl to score at state for the Red Devils. She also played every club sport available for girls and said she didn’t re member Coquille ever losing a basketball game during her high school career.

She also was a cheerleader for the boys football and basketball teams and followed her career as an athlete coaching Little League baseball and youth track, playing softball and assisting her son, Chance, with Coquille’s mat club, and continues to be a fan of all Coquille sports.

Nelson played football throughout his high school ca reer, but the rest of his year was spent training for track and field, where he was a stellar 400-meter runner, setting the school record

of 48.1 seconds which still stands. He placed third in that event at the state meet as a junior and also was part of 4x400-meter relay teams that placed third his junior and senior years and a 4x100-relay team that was fifth as a senior — both relay teams that year also included the fresh man Layton. He also placed at state in the 200 meters.

Nelson also shined in the summer track circuit, and in 1982 he was the AAU national Junior Olympics champion in the 800 with a time of 1:55.3. He set the record at the indoor Meet of Champions in the 400 meters in 1983.

“I want to thank my parents for pushing me past what I thought were my limits were,” Nelson said, adding that he also was grateful for his coaches and, in a thought popular among the inductees, “I’m proud to be a Red Devil.”

Layton still holds two Coquille school records for events he won state titles in. He was state cham pion in the javelin as a sopho more with a throw of 200 feet, 11 inches and teamed with John Mai, Shaun Peerson and Matt Deen to win the 4x100 relay his senior year in 43.98 seconds, helping the Red Devils to second place as a team that year. He placed third in the javelin as a senior and as a junior, when he had his best state mark of 203-3.

One of Layton’s fondest memories was traveling to Hong Kong the summer before his senior year with fellow Coquille Hall of Fame inductees Rob Calley and Michelle (McKeown) Jones, where he placed second in the javelin in an international junior meet.

He also starred in football and basketball for the Red Devils.

“I’d like to thank my mom and dad, my coaches and teammates and everyone who came out and watched,” he said.

Cox competed in cross coun try and track throughout her high school career for the Red Devils, including placing third as a sophomore and seventh as a junior at the state meet in cross country. Her best finish at state in track was second in the 3,000 as a sophomore. She was third in the 3,000 as a freshmen, setting a then school record of 10:42, and was third in the 800 as a senior. She was fourth in the 1,500 as a sophomore (an injury kept her from competing as a junior).

After her freshman cross coun try season, she placed 10th in the national Junior Olympics in Nebraska as part of a South Coast team called the Zephyrs that finished third. Aside from running, she was part of the South Coast Honor Band.

She took time to thank the Booster Club which sponsored the banquet.

“Thanks for supporting the kids,” she said. “That’s what this is all about.”

She also expressed her hap piness about coming up in the Coquille school system.

“I’m really glad to be a Red Devil,” she said. “I’m proud to from this town.”

The volleyball team was one of the best in school history and first to place at state. The group finished the season 35-3 overall, won the Far West League title with a record of 14-1 (starting a string of six straight league titles) and won three tournaments. At the state tournament, Coquille beat Estacada in the first round before losing to eventual run ner-up Burns in the quarterfinals. It bounced back to beat Sweet Home and Henley to earn the fifth-place trophy and Joy Dixon was named to the all-tournament second team.

Other team members includ ed Kea Arriola, Faith Dixon, Bev Pettengill, Stephanie Steel, Ryan Walker, Hidie King, Laura Gibson, Leah Mallon and Julia Means. The team was coached by Melanie Little, with assistant Marcy Little.

Dieu was recognized for her long history supporting Coquille athletics, starting with joining the Coquille Bleacher Club in

1985. She helped with various fundraisers to raise money that went toward uniforms, equip ment and shoes for the district’s student-athletes.

Her children and grandchil dren have been stellar athletes for the Red Devils and her great-grandchildren are trending in that direction when they reach the high school.

“I am a firm believer in kids sports and that everyone has an op portunity to be involved,” she said.

Grant, who died in 2020, played basketball for the Red Devils as a student and briefly attended Linfield College on a partial scholarship before return ing to Coquille and a long career with Roseburg Forest Products.

Starting with coaching his sons Jeff and Jason, Grant was a part of coaching baseball in Coquille and on the South Coast for nearly 50 years, including Babe Ruth and American Legion, impacting many students along the way.

“He was very instrumental in creating opportunities for kids,” Coquille athletic director Dan Hampton said.

Jones to be inducted in wrestling hall of fame

By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

One of the familiar faces in South Coast wrestling is getting a big honor in a few weeks.

Tony Jones will be inducted into the Oregon Chapter of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in a ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 22 at Embassy Suites in Tigard.

Jones has held a number of positions in the sport on the South Coast and state wide, ranging from coaching to officiating and currently is director of wrestling for the Coquille School District.

“Of course it is humbling to be recog nized for something that is second nature to me,” Jones said. “My connections to others in the wrestling world have allowed me to meet thousands of people, form lasting friendships and travel this country and the globe.

“I believe that I have become somewhat of a servant-leader who has positively impacted others.”

Jones got into coaching as an assistant at Central and Thurston high schools for twoyear stints in the early 1980s before becom ing head coach at Springfield High School from 1984 to 1987. During that time he also was the tournament director of the Oregon kids and cadet state championships. He also was the director of the Class 3A high school state tournament for 11 years.

Jones came to the South Coat in 1987, serving 10 years as assistant coach under legendary Wayne Van Burger and during that stretch he coached Tour du Monde teams that went to China (1993), New Zealand (1994) and Bulgaria (1996). He also was a coach for the USA Cadet Free style team at the World Championships in New Dehli, India, in 1997 and a team leader and coach for the USA Greco-Ro man Wrestling Team at the World Youth Games in Moscow in 1998.

His honors include being named USA Wrestling Development Coach of the Year in 1992.

After his time at Marshfield, he was head coach at Southwestern Oregon Community College from 1997 to 2001. He also was the commissioner for the Southwestern Oregon Wrestling Offi cials from 1996 to 2002. He has been an official at many regional, national and international tournaments.

Statewide roles he has held include being the state leader and coach for the cadet division for the Oregon Wrestling Association from 1989 to 1999, being the tournament director for the Ore gon Junior Development high school freestyle and Greco-Roman tourna ments five different years and being state chairman of the Oregon Wrestling Association from 1999 to 2010. HE currently is that group’s treasurer and

membership director, a role he has held since 2010.

Jones also was the event coordinator for the Western Regional Kids/Cadets Tourna ment in 2006 and 2007.

The Knights of Columbus had a booth selling raffle tickets at the Cranberry Festival. All the winners were chosen and rhe prizes delivered.

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN

It was almost like my grandfather (L.D. Felsheim) was talking to me as I read his weekly comments in the Nov. 15, 1951, Western World, about his efforts to preserve history. Now I understand where I got my love for history.

He was celebrating his 40th year as owner of the paper, and explained that "the history of the Bandon area has been carefully and exhaustively told as current happenings in the pages of Western World, and it was one of the primary objectives of the publisher to keep and protect for future generations a complete set of yearly volumes. This objective was religiously pursued, and at the time of the fire of 1936, each year from the very first issue (1912) was complete and securely bound in cloth. (The first photo is what the paper office/bank building looked like immediately after the Fire).

"The irony of the situation came in the fact that just a few days before the fire, the shipment of 24 yearly volumes, freshly and neatly bound, representing the history of the community from 1912 to 1936 arrived from the Portland bindery. The carton containing the volumes was still unpacked but was securely (we thought) placed alongside the vault of the extinct First National Bank (now Bank of Bandon) and there it was when the fire came. The extreme heat in that side of the building reduced it to a fine ash and with it went the history of Bandon.

"Fortunately we had stacked in our own side of the building against the back wall a collection of papers and temporary files covering a number of the missing years. Those were later sorted out and bound, and today, while incomplete, Western World still has a valuable file that covers a good share of the 39 years of its existence.

"Country newspapers are living things. No matter who owns them or operates them, if they are properly conducted, they become a vital part of the community: they belong to the community."

Today, the local paper has been shuttered, and the bound volumes are the property of the Bandon History Museum. In my own parallel story, I saved three decades of negatives (1950s, '60s and '70s) from being hauled to the dump by a later owner of the paper. I share them with the museum and in my will, all of my extensive history collection goes to the museum.

The second photo I am sharing illustrates the item about the local life saving

crew, from the files of the Feb. 6, 1913, Western World.

"Sunday evening while the small gas boats of Henry Herman and John Petersen were endeavoring to cross out, a comber caught Herman's craft and 'flooded' it. The life saving crew composed of Capt. Robert Johnson, Olson, Armstrong, Averill, Gardner and Hunt went to the rescue and towed the floundering craft to the Anvil anchored off the coast. Two hours later the life saving crew returned and in crossing the rough bar at low tide their boat swamped. However, the craft is a self-bailer and soon righted itself while the crew struggled in the breakers but all regained their places and put safely to the dock."

I love the third item, accompanied by a picture of the steamer Dispatch, because my grandparents were on the boat that headed up the river to the George Laird ranch, opposite Riverton, in December of 1915 for a house-warming party.

"Twenty-four went up on the Dispatch in the morning. The ladies cooked dinner in picnic style and everyone had a jolly time. In the afternoon they repaired to the second story of Mr. Laird's splendid big new barn, and to the tune of one of Jim Mars' big Edison phonographs, dancing was the pleasure until the Dispatch whistled for the landing, homeward bound."

Among those on board were my grandparents' closest friends, Attorney and Mrs. G.T. (Graydon and Claire) Treadgold, whose lives were forever changed less than a year later (in October of 1916) when Mr. Treadgold was shot to death in an auto repair garage across from the courthouse in Coquille by a Bandon man, who he had prosecuted as Bandon's city attorney. Some day I will share that tragic story.

Less than a month ago, well-known Family Nurse Practitioner Mary Anker posted about a scary encounter in her Sixth Street neighborhood off Ohio Avenue.

In her Facebook post, Mary said: "BEWARE: To anyone in the neighborhood near 6th St. SE and Ohio St. last night an unleashed tan and white bulldog/pit bull dog came out of the brush and attacked my dog while I was walking him on a leash. A kind stranger who heard my calls for help came and pulled it off my dog and held it while we got away. I took my dog home and cleaned him up and went back to try to find the owner to learn about vaccinations, etc. The

dog and another grey and white bulldog/pitbull then charged me and the tan and white dog bit me while I was backing away."

She added that her dog seems fine, much less traumatized than she was.

Mary said she notified all the neighbors and called the police and gave them a report. They said they would notify Animal Control. She added, "I have puncture wounds on my thigh, so I went to Immediate Care this morning. I didn't sleep at all last night, thinking how much worse it could have been: if they had attacked a child. If they had knocked me off my feet. If the Good Samaritan hadn't pulled the attacking dog off my dog. If both the other dogs had bitten me. It was horrible, but I still feel very lucky."

Unfortunately a similar sad story did not end that well for Anita Sexton, who lives on Franklin Avenue.

A German Shepherd got loose Thursday evening about 7 from the backyard of a neighbor, who were keeping the dog for their daughter, and attacked her dog. Anita was bitten as she tried to protect her little dog, who was badly mauled, but still alive. In spite of surgery by the vet, her little dog died Friday morning, and she is heartbroken.

A neighbor called 9-1-1 thinking a police officer would respond to the scene, but no one arrived.

We later learned that the Bandon Police Department was not contacted by dispatch, but rather Coos County Animal Control, who did come to Bandon Friday and issued several citations involving the dog.

The entire neighborhood was pretty much traumatized by what happened, and it did not help when no officer came to the scene.

I would definitely have responded had I known about it, but I was in a hospital board meeting that night.

I have asked to have the issue put on the agenda

for the Oct. 3 city council meeting (7 p.m. at city hall) so we can discuss protocol and our ordinance for future tragedies like this.

The Animal Control deputy told Ms. Sexton that the penalty would have been more severe had this been a second offense for the dog. But she told me the same dog attacked her dog two years ago, but because she did not want to cause problems for her neighbors, she did not call the police.

I have learned from our police chief and others that the dog will now be re-homed to the Langlois area. I feel that a dog this dangerous will be dangerous no matter where he lives, and fear for the safety of those who live in that area.

As for those of you who walk your dogs throughout the community, I would seriously advise you to carry some kind of pepper spray

or other deterrent to fend off a similar attack.

It is important to understand that no matter how many laws or ordinances we have on the books, it will not protect you or your animal from the next vicious dog that preys on your pet. I am heartbroken over this and feel utterly helpless, not knowing how to keep this from happening again .... and again.

On a happier note, I recently shared more than a hundred of the photos that I have taken over the last 20 years of local productions at the Sprague Theater with the new theater manager Chip Cassin, who has put together a video.

With the help of Geneva Miller, who takes care of the theater's website, the video can be accessed by going to Bandonevents. org. Scroll down until you see the group picture from My Fair Lady. Click on that, which will take you to

the video, titled "Did For Love 3," and then you can enjoy the photos.

I have wanted to share my photos for years, but because I could not identify many of the youngsters in the photos, I did not know who to contact.

You will find photos from Bandon Playhouse, MarLo Dance Studio and New Artists Productions, ranging from Chicago and the Nutcracker to Fiddler on the Roof Junior and many other productions.

These are only a small part of my collection, which probably numbers well over a thousand, or maybe two thousand photos.

I have learned that long-time Bandon resident, Lorna Salt, who was so active for many years with the Bandon Playhouse, suffered a stroke last week and was said to be in a Portland hospital. Lorna, 90, has been lovingly cared for by her 93-yearold husband, Chuck, for many years.

I do not know the details, nor exactly where she is, but if you'd like to send a card, their post office box is 1289, Bandon.

The Bandon Police report for Sept. 13 through 19 had several calls for criminal trespass, one for indecent exposure, three disturbance calls, two DUII arrests, report of identity theft, a shoplifter , unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, an assault at a Beach Loop Road address, and criminal trespass at Weber's Pier.

Pregnancy and Parenting Student Program opens

The Coquille School District and Winter Lakes High School hosted a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Pregnancy and Parenting Student Program n September 28.

The program is being funded by multiple grants. Representative David Brock Smith, District 1, assisted in securing $100,000 from the ESSER Grant (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fun). Additional grants awarded were from High School Success, Oregon Community Grant and the YDD Grant (Youth Community Investment). In addition, $30,000 was awarded from Oregon Community Grant allowing the school cistrict to purchase baby furniture and other furniture for the program. Staffing is being paid through YDD Grant.

The mission at Coquille School District is to provide a welcoming and exemplary learning environment that provides opportunities to fulfill the unique needs of each student where they are educa-

tionally, socially and emotionally each day. This program allows students either pregnant or with children the opportunity to a full academic learning experience without restrictions.

Newborns to 29 months will be utilizing the program. Parents will have the choice between taking classes in the same room as their child or attending in a classroom next door. Once a student’s child reaches 30 months of age, the district has them transition to the Lincoln School of Early Learning’s daycare.

Since teen parents are at risk of not completing high school, this program is crucial for students with families.

The Pregnancy and Parenting program is accepting donations such as disposable diapers, baby wipes, toys (newborn to 30 months), baby blankets, etc. You can drop off your donations directly at Winter Lakes High School or at the Coquille School District office located at 970 N. Central Blvd., Coquille.

North Bend man dies in accident

On September 24, 2022 at approximately 2:40 p.m., Florence police received a report of a motorcycle vs. RV traffic crash at the intersection of Highway 126 and Quince Street in Florence. Florence PD, Western Lane Fire & EMS Authority and units from Oregon State Police responded to the initial call.

Despite rescue efforts, the male operator of the involved motorcycle was pronounced deceased

Lillie

From A1

Like all nonprofits, a big challenge for Lillies of the Field is funding and other kinds of help. Lillie does a lot of the work herself, but she admits assistance is always needed. She said learning to ask for help has probably been the biggest challenge of running her rescue.

"We have a lot of events coming up, and I need a lot of volunteers and help," she said. "I don't like asking for money. In turn, I will be putting on events where people can come and get something for their money. People can help by showing up for events, people can help by coming to our volunteer days. Volunteers are great, I could really use volunteers to clean out the barn."

Lillies of the Field is hosting a monthly event called Dancing for Hoofbeats at the Coquille Community Center. The first dance is Friday, September 30, from 6-9 p.m. Future dances art scheduled for November 4 and December 16.

at the scene at approximately 2:47. The male was identified as 20-year old Ghage Robinette of North Bend. It was determined that Robinette was traveling East on Hwy 126, and had collided with the front of the RV, which was making a left turn onto Highway 126 from Quince Street. The driver of the RV, along with numerous other witnesses, remained on scene and are cooperat-

ing with investigators. Preliminary investigation indicates Robinette’s speed may have been a factor in the crash.

The Oregon State Police Traffic Crash Investigators assisted in processing the scene, as well as ODOT Incident Response. The area of Highway 126 and Quince Street was closed for several hours while the scene was investigated.

This case remains under investigation.

Where does sand come from?

The CoastWatch program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition invites the public to join online in contemplating a very basic subject to those who love the shore. On Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7 p.m., the group presents a webinar on “Sand.” The event is free and open to everyone. Noth ing could be more fundamental to the Oregon coast and its public beaches than sand. We may love the feel of sand between our toes, and we may worry about sand if it seems to be eroding away, but we tend not to think about the substance itself. Yet sand reaches our shores through epic journeys, and far from being all alike, different types of sand grains characterize different beach environments.

The virtual guide to the inner life of our beaches will be naturalist and ecotour leader Marty Giles, who has spent a long career studying the stuff. Here’s what she has to say about her subject matter: “We’re all familiar with sand, but what is it? Where does it come from? What does it do while it’s here? Where does it go when it’s done? This presentation answers those questions—and more! Partici
