Taylor inches ahead in commissioner’s race

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The race for Coos County commis sioner, position 3, remains too close to call, but challenger Rod Taylor has taken the lead after votes turned in by Election Day were counted.

In the tally released by the Coos County clerk’s office Wednesday, Taylor has received 14,142 votes, or 50.15%, to 13,982 votes for incumbent Melissa Cribbins. Cribbins has received 49.58% of the vote. There were 77 write-in votes in the race as well.

The outcome mirrors the results of the May primary, where Cribbins opened a big lead on Election Day, and Taylor gained ground as the later votes were counted.

Under state law, the final tally will not be released until Wednesday. The law gives the clerk’s office seven day to count ballots that were postmarked by Election Day. According to a schedule released by the clerk’s office, no more results will be released before the final unofficial tally Wednesday.

Cribbins, who has held the commis sioner’s seat for 10 years, is hoping to

be elected to a third full-term in office. During the campaign, she claimed her experience in government and ability to work well with other elected officials made her the right choice.

Taylor, a private businessman from Bandon, campaigned by saying Coos County needs to stand up to state and federal mandates that he says pull the county down.

While Taylor said he is pleased to have the lead, he said it is too close to claim victory. He explained there are

Wright, Brock Smith coast to re-election

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Republicans will continue to repre sent Coos County in the state Legis lature after voters re-elected Boomer Wright and David Brock Smith to the house of representatives.

Wright, who represents Coos Bay, North Bend and Reedsport among other areas, rolled to a relatively easy victory over Jerry Rust in the 9th District.

Wright, who was first elected two years ago, received 19,498 votes districtwide, or 59.96%, while Rust had 12,967 votes, or 39.87%.

In Coos County, the margin was even greater with Wright receiving 10,908 votes, or 63.21%, to 6,304, or 36.53% for Rust.

The 9th District has historically been a swing district and has elected Demo crats and Republicans in recent years. Heading into the 2022 election, party affiliation gave Republicans a 2% lead, but Wright easily won.

“It’s wonderful,” Wright said Thurs day. “I’m encouraged by the advances we made.”

While Democrats will continue to control the Legislature, Wright said Republicans made small increases. In the state House, 25 Republicans have won seats, up from 23 two years ago, with three races still undecided. In the Senate, Republican gained one seat, moving from 15 to 16.

Engelke extends lead in North Bend mayor’s race

By DAVID RUPKALVIS

For The World

Jessica Engelke appears to have captured her second term as mayor of North Bend.

After the Coos County clerk’s office released the vote total received by Election Day, Engelke has opened nearly a 300-vote lead over her challenger, former Mayor John Briggs.

According to the totals released by the clerk’s office, Engelke has received 2,189 votes, or 53.39%, to 1,895 votes, or 46.22% for Briggs.

State law allows the clerk’s office to count ballots received within seven days of the election as long as they were postmarked by Election Day. There is no indi cation how many ballots that will be, but the likelihood of enough votes from North Bend residents coming in to change the results is very slim.

In the race for North Bend City Council, the top three have not changed since Election Day. Jenny Jones continues to lead the way with 2,110 votes, or 26.6%, with

Barbara Schultz second with 2,096 votes, or 26.42%, and incumbent Larry Garboden third with 1,896 votes, or 23.9%. John Ezra Scheir man is fourth with 1,695 votes, or 21.37%.

The top three finishers will be seated on the council. Incumbents Timm Slater and Bill Richardson chose not to run for re-election.

In Powers, Robert Kohn has won the race for mayor after receiving 207 votes to 157 for Robert Baker.

In the race for city council, Kathy Rector (317 votes), James C. Adamek (286 votes) and Bill Holland (165 votes) appear to have won seats. Debbie North finished fourth with 157 votes.

In Lakeside, Alan G. Pointer (540 votes), Sara Coats (533 votes) and Alicia Douglas look to have won seats on the city council. Mary Kenyon (381 votes) and Shauleen Higgins (318 votes) finished outside the top three spots needed to claim a council seat.

Coquille, Coos Bay, Bandon and Myrtle Point also held elections, but none of the seats were contested.

“That will give us a little more ability to work with the Democrats, and that’s a positive,” Wright said.

Wright said he was not surprised he and Brock Smith won easily, saying it’s a sign that people outside of Portland, Salem and Eugene are fed up with the state leadership.

“There has been a marked change,” he said. “I think that people feel the coast is not getting what they deserve, and the super majority is not giving them what they need.”

Wright said he is already working for the legislative session that will begin early next year. He has submitted 11 bills and expects to submit five more.

“It’s nice to be re-elected because I can do a lot between now and Decem ber, especially talking to Democrats,” Wright said. “You work with people, and that’s important.”

Brock Smith rolled to an even more dominant win in the 1st District, which includes all of Curry County and part of Coos County.

Brock Smith earned another twoyear term in office with 23,037 votes, or 69.83%, to 9.861 votes, or 29.89% for Bret Cecil. The total vote was almost identical to the percentages in Coos County as Brock Smith received 8,620 votes, or 69.83%, to 3,686 votes, or 29.86%, for Cecil.

Oregon State receives $3M to explore a more sustainable battery

By Steve LundeBerg Guest Article

The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded $3 million to an Oregon State University researcher to lead the development of a new, high-energy-density battery that does not rely on rare elements.

As more and more lithium-ion batteries are manufactured to electrify the transportation sector, global demand for the nickel and cobalt necessary for the batteries’ cathodes has soared, said Xiulei “David” Ji, professor of chemistry at Oregon State.

“It is predicted that there

will be shortages of both elements in a matter of just decades, which means there is a pressing need to invent an alternative rechargeable battery chemistry that does not involve rare elements and potentially provides a higher energy density as well,” said Ji, who will lead a team of researchers from OSU, How ard University, the University of Maryland and Vanderbilt University.

There are many different types of batteries, but they all work the same basic way and contain the same basic components: Two electrodes – the anode, from which electrons flow out into an external circuit, and the cath

ode, which acquires electrons from the external circuit –and the electrolyte, the chem ical medium that separates the electrodes and allows the flow of ions between them.

In lithium-ion batteries and other cation battery chemistries such as sodi um-ion, magnesium-ion and zinc-ion, Ji explains, the working ions are the cat ions; a cation is an atom or a molecule that is missing one or more electrons and is positively charged.

An anion, which can also be used as the working ion in batteries, is an atom or molecule that has one or more extra electrons and is negatively charged.

“There are fewer known materials that can store anions reversibly than for storing cations,” Ji said. “Re versible means the battery can be recharged, like the one in an electric vehicle. The anion-storage batteries will potentially shift the para digm of the battery industry. Anion batteries can be more sustainable because they do not need cobalt or nickel in the electrodes.”

Preliminary results from Ji and other principal inves tigators on the project show that anion-storage batteries can deliver energy densi ty comparable to current batteries on the market while

using cost-effective carbon or metals such as copper as the electrodes.

“Our goal is to reveal the mechanisms behind those batteries and to understand the limiting factors in anion battery reactions,” he said.

“We also want to generate fundamental knowledge about the conditions and battery constituents that will allow anion-hosting batteries to deliver high energy densi ty with a stable cycling life.”

A primary hoped-for outcome, he added, is identifying critical descrip tors for predicting electro chemical behaviors and the performance of anion storage

electrode systems. With those predictive tools in place, anion storage research would likely accelerate.

“The new knowledge about anion batteries will generate broad and profound impacts across the science and engineering disciplines of chemistry and materials science,” Ji said. “High-en ergy anion batteries will complement existing battery technologies by providing more energy storage solu tions and advancing clean energy technologies.”

Harvest dead trees to prevent future fires

By LEE PATTERSON

I saw Oregon Senator Ron Wyden’s most recent political ad on television regarding the forest fires in Oregon. I was encouraged to find that he supports increasing efforts to reduce the unhealthy fuel loads on our federal forest lands through thinning projects and the use of prescribed burning.

I also support his efforts to in crease funding for more equipment to aid firefighters in their effort to control and suppress fires on our federal forest lands. I under stand and appreciate Sen. Wyden’s initiatives. In fact, I find them very encouraging.

But here are things I don’t under stand, and which I would urge Sen. Wyden to consider. Why are our federal land management agencies leaving hundreds of thousands of acres of dead and dying trees killed by 2020 Labor Day fires unman aged? Those dead trees are a mag net for insect infestation, and are also vulnerable to burn again which, of course, will kill the adjacent trees and vegetation.

Why do we tolerate such waste? When did we abandon the concepts of “reduce, reuse and recycle” for a healthy planet?

I am a former educator, school district superintendent and patri otic Vietnam combat veteran. I am keenly aware of the financial challenges that our schools, on all levels, are facing as they deal with teacher shortages, crumbling school infrastructure, increased security concerns and the cost of transportation, just to name a few. As a veteran, I am very sensitive to the housing, education, employment and adequate health care needs of Oregon’s veterans.

Conservative estimates indicate that over 400,000 acres of US For est Service and BLM lands burned in the Labor Day fires, with a timber value of over $4 billion. Harvesting just half of the dead trees on those acres in a timely and responsible manner could have generated $2 billion. This is money that would help our schools and veterans, as well as offset the costs of the proj ects Sen. Wyden is proposing. Why is the federal government allowing this incredible waste of the public’s resource?

I am a responsible environmen talist, as I believe are most Ore

gonians. And like everyone else, I have witnessed the impacts of global warming and the changing climate. It cannot be denied that this warming trend has diminished the health and natural fire resiliency of our federal forests, making them ever more vulnerable to catastrophic forest fire and disease.

Sen. Wyden’s support of pre-fire management is certainly a step in the right direction. But without equal attention given to post-fire management, Oregon’s legacy of beautiful, forest landscapes will evolve into forestland deserts cov ered by brush and dead, grey-ghost trees. In fact, a short trip up the San tiam Canyon or the North Umpqua River drainage will provide a glimpse into that dark future already becoming a reality.

So, as I support Sen. Wyden’s ini tiative, I only ask that he do every thing possible to stop the waste and remember our obligation, as good stewards of the land, to “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle,”

It’s the responsible thing to do.

By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

It had been building for weeks. Americans could talk about little else, the tension and anxiety grow ing daily as the stakes climbed ever higher. The answer finally came on Nov. 8 and the country heaved a huge sigh of relief, glad that it was finally over.

One lucky person in California had won the record $1.9 billion jackpot.

As Powerball Fever subsides, it’s an ideal moment to remember the time when Americans were swept up in an earlier lottery frenzy. Unlike today’s drawings, that game wasn’t on the up and up. And it caused a scandal so immense it set back state lotteries for nearly a century.

This is the story of the scandalous Louisiana Lottery.

The Bayou State has many attrac tive qualities. But institutional in tegrity and virtue rarely rank among them. Moral ambiguity mingles with the magnolias making good people look the other way while creating a fertile climate for con men.

Charles Turner Howard was one of them. A kind of business ne’erdo-well, he had a knack for drifting from one dead-end position to the next. After the Civil War, he began dabbling in the lottery industry and found his calling.

The Reconstruction Era was a time when money talked, and it practically screamed in Louisiana. Impoverished like most Deep South states, it was saddled with a Radical Republican government whose lead ers were more concerned with lining their pockets than in promoting the general welfare.

After rounding up several part ners, Turner turned up in Baton Rouge in 1868 and started spreading around money as generously as slopping whitewash on a barn wall. The state legislature soon gave him a charter allowing his Louisiana Lottery Company to operate for 25 years.

It was a sweetheart deal all the way. In exchange for being exempt from state taxes, all Turner had to do was make a $40,000-a-year contri bution to a charity hospital. A stag gering 50 percent of the profits went to Turner and his backers. Since there were no federal taxes on such business ventures at the time, Turner was poised to make a killing.

America’s Biggest Lottery Scandal

The Louisiana Lottery Company began operating in January 1869. It offered jaw-dropping cash prizes, including a $600,000 jackpot for its semi-annual big blowouts. Smaller prizes were available in daily and weekly drawings. Turner advertised them far and wide around the coun try with an emphasis on the South.

Money flowed in like the Mis sissippi River at flood stage. Very soon, the Louisiana Lottery Com pany was hauling in an incredible $30 million a year, making it the most lucrative enterprise in the state. Turner, an avid social climber, built one of the most beautiful homes in New Orleans’ Garden District and showered money on local charities.

However, he was not one to turn the other cheek. Not all of the Old South aristocracy took kindly to the nouveau riche interloper; many turned their back on him. Denied membership in the prestigious Metairie Jockey Club, Turner waited until the racetrack fell on hard times, then bought it and turned it into a cemetery.

He was remarkably adept at greasing the palms of everyone connected with keeping his opera tion going. Politicians, the press and even the clergy were recipients of Howard’s generosity in one form or another.

Here’s how it worked: The Loui siana Lottery Company sold tickets. All ticket numbers were placed into a hopper where the winners were pulled out. To provide a veneer of credibility, two aging Confederate generals were each paid $10,000 every year (nearly $250,000 today) to witness the drawings.

But there was a dirty little secret the generals and the general public didn’t know. All unsold tickets were assigned to the company. And guess whose numbers turned up time after time? That’s right; the Louisiana Lottery Company won many of its own jackpots!

Howard was thrown from a carriage in an accident and died in 1885. He picked an opportune time to depart this world because public opinion was turning against him.

With a wave of morality rising, the Louisiana Lottery was the only such drawing left in the country by 1878, bringing it increased scrutiny. Reconstruction ended and many of the company’s former allies were re

placed with Democrats who felt the lottery was ripping off poor working people. The walls were closing in.

When Louisiana adopted a new constitution in 1879, it included a clause extending the company’s monopoly to 1895.

That was the last straw. Allega tions of bribery flew fast and wild. The state treasurer became impli cated in the rapidly growing scandal and skipped off to Honduras with $1 million in state money to tide him over.

Democrat Francis Nicholls was elected governor in 1888 on an anti-lottery platform. Congress got involved in 1890 by passing a law banning the sale of lottery tickets in the mail and preventing lotteries from advertising in newspapers.

The jig was up. The legislature finally approved a measure banning the game in 1893. Bloodied but unbowed, the Louisiana Lottery Company limped off to Honduras and operated there for two years.

But the damage was done. Most Americans had soured on lotteries. The bitter taste lingered in their mouths until the 1970s and ’80s, when cash-strapped state govern ments resurrected the practice to provide revenue.

Modern safeguards are in place today and folks watch lottery drawings live on TV as they happen, without any Confederate generals looking over their shoulders for good measure.

Bobcats reach eight-man football semifinals

Myrtle Point to face top-ranked Crane in Saturday semifinal

The World

Myrtle Point avenged one of its losses from the regular season Fri day to reach the eight-man football semifinals.

The Bobcats beat host Crane 3822 to set up a matchup against one of the other teams that beat Myrtle Point earlier in the year, top-ranked St. Paul.

The semifinal game is set for 4:30 p.m. Saturday at Cottage Grove High School. In the other

semifinal, Lost River meets Powder Valley in a semifinal set for 4:30 p.m. at Caldera High School in Bend.

Myrtle Point had lost a 44-42 game to Crane on a neutral field to start the season, but the Bobcats didn’t let the game come down to the fourth quarter in Friday’s quar terfinals.

Playing in cold conditions — Myrtle Point coach Ryan Miller described it as a frozen tundra in the second half — Myrtle Point got on the board first with a 30-yard

touchdown run by Billy Reynolds in the first quarter.

Crane answered that score to make it 6-6 through one quarter. The Bobcats went back in front when Reynolds had an interception and Howard Blanton took a 40-yard pass from Logan Backman down to the goal line. Backman scored from there and the Bobcats led 14-6 at the half.

Reynolds had a 45-yard run to give Myrtle Point a two-score lead in the third quarter, but Crane answered with a long touchdown of

its own.

Reynolds helped put the game out of reach in the fourth with a 30-yard, tackle-breaking run in the fourth.

After Crane scored again, Troy Warner had a 65-yard run to give the Bobcats back a comfortable lead and Logan Clayburn came up with two huge defensive plays, recover ing one fumble and forcing another that Reynolds recovered.

“Both Howard Blanton and Logan Clayburn played great from the defensive end position,” Miller

said. “They contained their outside run game all night — the thing that they gashed us on the first time we met back in September.”

St. Paul will provide another challenge for Myrtle Point. The unbeaten Buckaroos topped the Bobcats 42-14 back on Sept. 30. St. Paul beat Perrydale 62-6 in their quarterfinal game Saturday.

In the other quarterfinals, Lost River beat Adrian 44-8 and Powder Valley beat Cove 46-8. Lost River is the other team to beat Myrtle Point this season.

Powers loses in six-player football semifinals

The World

Powers came up one game short of the first-ever OSAA-sanctioned six-player championship game when the Cruisers fell to the combined Spray/Mitchell/Wheeler team 55-19 in the semifinals Saturday at Wilsonville High School.

The Cruisers suffered their only loss of the sea son. The Eagles advanced to the championship game against Triangle Lake, which beat South Wasco County 46-20 in the other semifinal Saturday.

The championship game will be played at 1 p.m. this coming Saturday at Caldera High School in Bend.

Powers scored first in its semifinal contest, on a 30yard pass from Rene Sears to Alex Mahmoud and a conversion pass from Sears to Charlie Shorb, but Spray/ Mitchell/Wheeler had the next four scores and was in control the rest of the way.

Sears also had a 17-yard touchdown pass to Patrick Mahmoud and a 21-yard run for the Cruisers’ other two touchdowns.

Carter Boise had four touchdown runs and two touchdown passes — to Nate Clark and Zach Neuburg er — for the Eagles. Boise rushed for 219 yards and Clark rushed for 159.

Boise also intercepted two passes.

Sears had a fumble recovery and eight tackles for Powers, while Jayce Shorb had 12 tackles, Alex Mahmoud 10 and Michael Pedrick nine.

The Cruisers should be strong again next year, with just three seniors — Ped rick, Charlie Shorb and Alex

Mahmoud.

SWOCC soccer teams reach NWAC playoffs

The World

The Southwestern Oregon Com munity College soccer programs enjoyed a tremendous fall, both earning spots in the postseason, with the men winning their first playoff game before being elimi nated one match from the NWAC final four.

The two teams made tremendous turnarounds from last season.

SWOCC’s men finished second in the South Region with a record of 7-3-2 in league play and finished 10-4-2 overall. Lane won the region at 8-1-3.

The Lakers beat Blue Mountain 1-0 in the first round of the playoffs at home and then fell at Highline 4-0 in the quarterfinals.

In the win over Blue Mountain, Bryan Olivera scored the lone goal on an assists by Taigo Kusano in the 55th minute. Angus Johnson earned the shutout in goal, with six saves.

The Lakers surged into the postseason by winning four of their final six matches, including handing Lane its lone defeat, and having a draw against Portland in one of the others.

Toby Balaam had a team-best seven goals during the season and Noah Balaam had four assists.

Forward Toby Balaam, mid fielder Simeon Charles, defender Rodrigo Torrelio and Johnson at goalkeeper all were named to the South Region all-star team. Jhovany Gaytan and Steven Nease both were honorable mention selections.

After the first loss, the Lakers gave up just two more goals in league play, posting seven shutouts along the way.

Only four teams in all of NWAC gave up fewer goals on the season than the Lakers, who gave up 10 in all, including the three in their playoff match and three in presea son matches.

Maslouhi Sara had six goals and five assists on the season for the Lakers.

Meadows, who was an assistant last fall for the Lakers, was named coach of the year for the South Region.

Midfielder Sara Maslouhi, defender Cecelia Aguilera and goal keeper Alexis Bates were named to the all-star team.

Kira Pyka and Kaelynn Teagle were honorable mention picks.

VOLLEYBALL: The Lakers finished eighth in the South Region with a 3-12 record this season and finished 10-18 overall.

The Lakers beat Clackamas twice and also beat Rogue.
