Coos Bay Council adopts 10-year park plan

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

The Coos Bay City Council voted unanimously last week to adopt a new parks master plan that will set priorities for the next decade.

The vote came after the Parks Commission spent seven months working on a new plan, a process that included a community survey and several public meetings.

The new plan, called the 202333 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Facilities Plan, outlines for major goals for the city over the next decade.

The goals are as follows:

1 - Enhance existing facilities for public enjoyment, safety and maintenance and consider new facilities when opportunity and financial capacity are available.

2 - Develop Citywide Branding of Facilities. Facilitate parks and cultural directional and facility identification with city branding to enhance resident and visitor connectivity to these valuable facilities.

3 - Pursue Sustainable Funding Sources. Seek out a wide variety of funding resources identified in the plan and elsewhere.

4 - Build and Enhance Relationships for Plan Implementation.

Workshop to help pet owners look for stress

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

It is widely known that stress is a common component of the holidays.

Those who have lost a loved one often mourn during festive times and parents struggling to purchase gifts for their children often find little reason to celebrate.

But what is not as well known is that pets also struggle with stress, often as a result of the stress their owners feel.

In January, the North Bend Public Library is hosting a workshop for pet owners, designed to help the owners identify and interpret often overlooked signs of stresst and disease in their pets.

The library will welcome Dr. Karen Fowles, DVM, who will discuss the signs of stress and disease and give pet owners an idea of what to look for with their cats, dogs and other animals.

The free workshop is scheduled at 3 p.m., January 25, at the North Bend Library.

Fowler is an Oregon native that received her doctor of veterinary medicine from Oregon State College in 2016. She resides in Portland and works at the Portland Veterinary Wellness Center. Her main professional interests are fostering the human-animal bond, client education, and preventative medicine.

For information about the workshop, call the library at (541) 756-0400 or email nbservices@northbendlibrary.org.

On Christmas Eve, North Bend turned festive in preparation for a day of giving and family as homes across the city were lit up in bright colors and holiday themes to help the community celebrate one of the biggest holidays of the year.

Abstracts and

Abstract painter Geralyn

Inokuchi is back at Bandon Library Art Gallery, bringing with her the colors of Autumn leaf and sky, the verdant greens and rusty umbers below, the deep blues and misty whites above. We need these colors during the grey months of Winter here on the South Coast. They remind us that there is a richer pallette to come when the wheel of the year turns.

The joy of discovery is the experience of these paintings. Geri’s gift is the depth and complexity of her work. There is musicality to these paintings are hung; the violets and blues carry you from one painting to the next. Move in close to be pulled deeper into the many small moments happening within the larger canvas. Interplays of contrasting color create small eddies in the wide stream of each image, and mysterious darkness contains surprising saturations of pure color. And there is texture, created by layers of fibrous papers and sinuations of pure paint. Some of these are made of paper alone, torn sheets overlapping to build up pieces that float within the rectangle of the frame, making a nice change from

a rectilinear discipline of the others. In all of these, a spirit of exploration is evoked, and the viewer is asked to take the time required to really see what is there, and to return again and again with fresh eyes. These paintings hold rich rewards for such efforts.

In the cases, Jane Újházi’s jewels reflect the inspiration she also gets from the natural

world. Graceful butterfly wing and Autumn leaf porcelain mix with glass beads to make unique earrings. Some necklaces are chunky, some delicate, but all are made with semi-precious stones, pearls, and gold or silver. These exquisite elements she uses are handmade and were made by artisans from around the world. Her work

Merkley, Wyden Secure Funding for Critical Projects Across Oregon

Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden today announced they secured funding for essential community projects across Oregon in Congress’s fiscal year 2023 omnibus appropriations package, which is expected to pass both chambers of Congress and be signed into law by President Biden this week.

With the support of members of Oregon’s congressional delegation in the House of Representatives—Reps.

Peter DeFazio, Earl Blumenauer, Suzanne Bonamici, and Kurt Schrader—a total of 145 community-initiated projects in Oregon were included in the package.

Once law, these essential projects will receive the support needed to help meet critical needs in every corner

of the state, including investing in wildfire and drought resiliency, affordable housing, health care, education, manufacturing, and much more, all while creating essential services and good-paying jobs.

“No one knows the unique needs of communities across Oregon like the folks living and working in them,” said Merkley, who helped drive inclusion of Oregon projects as the only Oregon member of Congress from either chamber to serve on the Appropriations Committee since Senator Mark Hatfield. “I joined the Committee in 2013 to ensure Oregon has a strong voice in decisions about our nation’s investments. Community-initiated projects are an incredible example of this, because these local and regional projects were generated at the

ground level by folks who are working to make their communities better. I worked with Senator Wyden and members of Oregon’s House delegation to secure funding for 145 of these important homegrown projects for Oregonians in every corner of our state, and these projects will have positive impacts across our state for years to come.”

“These investments represent the best of the Oregon Way, namely that Oregonians in communities all across the state pulled together to determine their local quality-of-life solutions that will keep people safe and generate jobs that strengthen the economy,” Wyden said. “I’ve heard during more than 1,000 town halls in each of our 36 counties how Oregonians want federal investments just

like these that reflect their grass-roots priorities. And I’m glad to have teamed up with them and Senator Merkley to produce these tangible and significant results.”

Both Senator Merkley and Senator Wyden hold a town hall in each Oregon county every year and work hard to ensure that local feedback informs every aspect of their work in Washington, D.C. This local feedback is directly reflected in the projects that were chosen for federal funding in this year’s package.

Because of Senator Merkley’s position on the powerful Appropriations Committee and key role pushing Oregon priorities in the drafting of the bills, and the collaborative way that Senator Merkley and Wyden

work together to advocate for projects from Oregon, last year the two Senators were able to secure more projects for their home state than any other Senators besides Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.

The 145 Oregon community-initiated projects were spread out among bills produced by the Appropriations subcommittees, including 20 projects in the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, of which Senator Merkley is Chair.

The funds and projects secured by Senators Merkley and Wyden, broken down by region, are as follows: Oregon Coast: $10.528 million for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for Port of Coos Bay

Dredging

$4 million for the Oregon Department of Administrative Services for Shutter Creek Rehabilitation and Renovations

Rarely seen United States coins up for grabs in Oregon -zip codes determine who gets them

“The vaults at Federated Mint are going empty,” said Laura A. Lynne, Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint.

That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication.

“But don’t thank the Government. As Director of Coin and Currency for Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen Gov’t issued coins to the general public — I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal,” said Lynne.

“These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These are rarely seen silver, scarce, collectible and non-circulating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s so we won’t be surprised if thousands of U.S. residents claim as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Lynne.

The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the

National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour

This is very important. After the Vault Bags were loaded with over 200 Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the deadline ends.

“Remember this, we cannot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Lynne.

The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 a.m. this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded with the rarely seen coins pictured left and highly sought after collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including

iconic Morgan Silver Dollars, a historic Peace Silver Dollar, stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars, the collectible Silver Eisenhower Dollars, spectacular Silver Liberty Head Half and Quarter Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, one cent Historic Wheat Coins including 1943 “Steel Cents”, one of the beautiful Winged Liberty Head Dimes, scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coins and the last ever minted Buffalo Nickels.

“With all these collectible Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re going to do our best to answer all the calls,” said Lynne.

Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside.

Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. ■

deadline ends.

■ UNSEARCHED: Pictured above are the unsearched Vault Bags being handed over to Oregon residents who call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends. And here’s the best part. Each Vault Bag is loaded with over 200 Gov’t issued coins, including all the coins pictured in today’s publication, some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value. Each coin is verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above before the bags are securely sealed and the dates and mint marks are never searched by Federated Mint to determine collector value.

Letter to the Editor

Where’s my mom

A “WhereIsMyMother.com” billboard on Interstate 5 South between Seattle and Tacoma illustrates the heartbreaking reality of the dairy industry and what mother cows and their calves endure to provide consumers with animal milk products.

The animal agriculture industry goes to great lengths to keep secret the horrors of dairy farming. Like humans, cows form strong bonds with their babies and produce milk solely to nourish them. In the dairy industry, mother cows are forcefully impregnated and their calves are taken from them immediately after birth and fed dairy replacers while the mother is confined and her milk collected for human consumption. This process is repeated each year until the mother can no longer continue production, then she is sent to slaughter.

Sadly, female offspring are subjected to the same life as their mother while males are confined in small crates and raised for veal.

Every glass of milk we drink perpetuates this cruel cycle of abuse. But it doesn’t have to be this way. By choosing non-dairy milks and alternative-milk products, we directly engage in building a kinder, more compassionate world.

I’m encouraged by this awareness campaign and look forward to seeing more like it in the future.

Opinion: This New Year, Resolve to Eat a Healthy Diet

By SoloMon D. StevenS InsideSources.com

The holiday season is a time for joy, but it is also a time for serious reflection. So it is the right time to think about our food. And the facts are clear: the food that most of us eat every day makes us sick.

We have all known that for a long time. But now, a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association Neurology indicates that our bad eating choices can also impair cognition, even bringing on dementia. This doesn’t mean that we can never indulge in a snack, but it does mean that most of us need to change our approach to our overall diet.

How much evidence do we need before we change the way we eat? I have friends who routinely dismiss information like this, seeing it as coming from “health nuts.” But the data we have on a poor diet is not from fringe groups obsessed with an extreme agenda. At this point, one has to be living in denial to dismiss what we all know: a poor diet will make us sick and affect our ability to think.

If we are being honest with ourselves, we have known for a long time that poor nutrition contributes not only to obesity but also to diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and certain kinds of cancers. And now we know it can lead to impaired thinking, even dementia.

One of the main reasons for this is that we eat too much “ultraprocessed” food, which includes additives (chemicals) designed to add artificial flavor, artificial color, artificial texture, artificial scent and preservatives. The National Center for Biotechnology Information has found that almost 60 percent of the food that Americans eat is ultraprocessed. This has to stop.

And it is especially worrisome to know that many of the chemical additives in ultraprocessed food have never been tested by anyone except (perhaps) by the company selling the product to you. Next time you pick up something at the store, check the label. You may be surprised by what you see in the list of ingredients. If you don’t know what the ingredients are, you probably shouldn’t eat them.

Why do we go on, day after day, abusing our bodies? Part of the problem is our environment. We look around and see colorful

packaging, attractive advertising, and everyone we know chowing down. How can the food around us be a problem if restaurants serve it and supermarkets sell it? We are lulled into submission because that unhealthy eating is so accepted by everyone around us.

Also, we tend to be present-oriented. Since we don’t face any serious consequences from our bad diet today, we tell ourselves that everything must be fine. We don’t allow ourselves to think that we may face problems in 20 or 30 years. If we don’t see it immediately, it must not be true. And so it continues.

This is a good time for a real New Year’s resolution. Don’t make resolutions you will furiously pursue for a month or two and then abandon. This year, make it simple. Resolve to eating a healthy diet consistently for the rest of your life. If you do, you will live longer and have a better quality of life while you live.

Eliminate fast-food burgers, fries, tacos, fried chicken and deli meats. Avoid cookies, packaged pizza, most frozen entrees, all soft drinks, sausages and sweetened cereals. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. You have to develop the habit of reading labels. You must eat fresh vegetables, fruits, wholegrain bread, and much less dairy and meat. Yes, it’s cumbersome and time-consuming. But aren’t you worth it?

Basically, you have to start preparing your food at home from natural vegetables, fruits and whole ingredients. I know we are all busy, and fast food and prepared food are quick and easy. But remember, it simply isn’t good for you. Over time, it will hurt you. Make a change this coming year. Stand up for yourself. Put in the extra time needed to make food that will support your physical and mental health and keep you alive. Can you really think of a better investment for your time?

The new year will be here soon. Take a walk on the wild side and think about this. A healthy diet is a gift you can give yourself and your loved ones. It’s worth the effort.

The Yankee cavalryman had no idea what lay in store when he raised his sword that Easter Sunday afternoon. How could he? All he knew was he had a job to do. So, he lifted his arm and prepared to strike. What happened next triggered a chain of events that culminated in creating one of the most popular products of all time, one that may even be in your home right now. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.

It was April 16, 1865. The War Between the States was in its final days. Robert E. Lee had surrendered his army in Virginia one week earlier. Some 563 miles to the southwest, a small band of Southern soldiers drew up in line of battle outside the manufacturing hub of Columbus, Ga. Federal horsemen swooped in to capture it.

The brief engagement there that spring afternoon was one of the last battles of that saddest of all American wars. But it indirectly led to something that far outweighed its military significance.

The troops in blue rushed for the 14th Street Bridge, the key to controlling the city. Blocking their path was the Third Cavalry Battalion of the Georgia State Guard. Its ranks included 33-year-old Lt. Col. John Stith Pemberton.

An educated man with a medical degree, he eventually opened a drugstore in Columbus. Married and the father of a young boy, his future looked bright. The single swing of a wrist changed everything.

In the bitter struggle for the bridge, a Northern horseman slashed his saber across Pemberton’s chest, sending him crashing to the ground with a serious wound. Pemberton eventually recovered. But the rest of his life was filled with intense pain from his injury. Veterans in blue and gray who survived war wounds spent their remaining days in an often-vain quest to ease their suffering.

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

Two Civil War Soldiers, One American Classic

Pain relief was in its infancy in the Victorian Era. Aspirin would not be invented until late in the century. The best relief for chronic physical misery was laudanum, a mixture of opium soaked in alcohol. It’s little wonder that the first generation of American drug addicts was Civil War veterans.

Pemberton was no exception. He became hooked on morphine. But he was also constantly searching for new ways to ease his pain. Being a druggist with a keen interest in chemistry, he explored various compounds to see if they could provide an escape from his suffering.

Working in his little Columbus shop, he devised something he grandly called “Dr. Tuggle’s Compound Syrup of Globe Flower.” But given that its active ingredient came from the toxic buttonbush plant, it had limited appeal.

Pemberton then turned his attention to kola nut, damiana and coca. They led to a new drink called “Pemberton’s Wine Coca.” He excitedly took his latest creation to Atlanta and began selling it there.

But his timing was lousy. The city of Atlanta and Fulton County, where it is located, went “dry” in 1886 when prohibition ordinances were adopted. He needed a non-alcoholic version, and he needed it fast.

So, Pemberton teamed up with fellow drugstore owner Willis E. Venabale. They accidentally stumbled on a game-changer: Carbonated water was an ideal substitute for wine. It took trial and error, but they eventually got their new drink. And this time, they decided to sell it as a fountain beverage rather than a bottled medicine. Marketing pioneer Frank Robison liked the alliteration in a suggested title change. Pemberton readily agreed.

With that, Coca-Cola was born. (Robertson went on to devise the distinctive Spencerian script still used in the logo today.)

Yet, Fate was unkind to Pemberton. Though he realized he had stumbled on something truly big (he envisioned it becoming a “national”

drink one day), he couldn’t shake his morphine addiction. Needing cash, he sold his stake in the concoction he helped create. He kept one final portion for his son until desperation forced him to sell it in 1888 for $300, less than $9,500 today.

Pemberton died of stomach cancer that August at age 57. His son and only child died an opium addict six years later.

As for the company itself … well, you know what happened. Its global footprint is so large that — mathematically — every person on the planet consumes one Coca-Cola product every four days. And with 7.3 billion people on Earth, it’s no wonder Coke’s gross profit was $23.2 billion in 2021, with this year projected to be even better.

All that was unimaginable to the unknown Union horseman on that Easter Sunday afternoon in 1865. With the war over, he eventually rode home without knowing what he and his sword had set in motion.

Public Notice

The Partnership for Coastal Watersheds (PCW) which includes Coos County Staff, City of Coos Bay Staff , City of North Bend Staff and Port of Coos Bay Staff, has gone through an extensive process to evaluate the needs of the local governments and the community for the Coos Bay Estuary Management Plan. Their past work included public meetings and an open house to share results from all of the data products that were created. The process was patterned from the original CBEMP workgroup setup in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. This effort has resulted in the development of an integrated assessment which was conducted with the assistance of the PCW steering committee, stakeholders representing, economic, socio-cultural, and natural resource protection interests, and public feedback from a previously held open house. This effort started in 2015 and was presented by the Consultants, University of Oregon, Institute for Policy Research and Engagement to the Coos Bay, North Bend and County Planning Commissioners and City Councilors and County Board of Commissioners in 2019. The plan was to move the products from the effort into formal hearings and adoptions to have a unified plan. COVID stalled the process and after a re-evaluation and additional funding the County and City Staff would like to move this project forward. The findings and products will be presented to Councilors, Planning Commissioners and Board of Commissioners in an informational work session setting. The work sessions will take place in the Coos Bay City Council Chambers (500 Central Avenue, Coos Bay, OR 97420). The Planning Commissioners will be meeting on January 4, 2023 at 5:00 pm. The City of Coos Bay and North Bend City Councilors and Board of Commissioners will meet on January 4, 2023 at 6:30 pm. A public house will be held on January 7, 2023 from 1 to 4 pm at the North Bend Community Center, 2222 Broadway North Bend, OR 97459, to allow the public to learn about the products and process going forward.

Senators condemn decision on gas vehicles

Following California’s lead, on Monday, the Environmental Quality Commission adopted an Advanced Clean Cars II Rule, effectively banning the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 and requiring manufacturers to follow suit.

Senator Fred Girod (R-Stayton) and Senator Lynn Findley (R-Vale) released the following statement: “This action was taken covertly

behind closed doors by administrative rule using the Governor’s executive order, usurping authority from the Legislature. It appears to be a clear violation of separation of powers. DEQ is an agency that has gone amuck and shows a desperate need for administrative oversight. Almost all states require legislative oversight of administrative rule. That’s why I’m prepared to

introduce legislation in the upcoming session doing just that,” said Senator Girod.

“Additionally, we have so much forest set aside in Oregon that the amount of carbon being sequestered by our forests comes close to compensating for the carbon shortfall that this new rule is intended to address. I plan to introduce legislation which would mandate that the

stored carbon in Oregon’s forests be included in carbon emissions calculations,” concluded Girod.

“Oregonians everywhere deserve better than big, blanket mandates from unelected bureaucrats and interim directors,” said Senator Findley, who sits on the Joint Committee on Transportation. “This is an issue that requires greater input from the public and legislative

review before being acted upon. Taking that authority away only exacerbates distrust in our state agencies.”

The Environmental Quality Commission voted to approve the Advanced Clean Cars II Rule at a special meeting on Monday, December 19th. The rule is based on vehicle emissions standards adopted by California in August.

Wyden, Blunt celebrate passage of bill to strengthen rural TV stations

U.S. Senators Ron Wyden (DOR) and Roy Blunt (D-MO) today announced that their bipartisan Low Power Protection Act will soon become law, after it passed the House of Representatives on a voice vote.

“The Low Power Protection Act is a bipartisan way to support diverse, locally oriented broadcasting that is so important to rural and remote communities in Oregon and across the country,” Wyden said.

“I’m proud that Senator Blunt and I got this bill across the finish line to help our local broadcasters continue to deliver programming. I won’t stop fighting to help local journalists deliver the news coverage that rural folks depend on.”

“The Low Power Protection Act will help preserve local broadcasting in rural communities in Missouri and across the country,” said Blunt. “Local television stations

provide a unique and valuable service, including access to local news, weather alerts, and life-saving public safety information. I’m glad to see this bill on its way to the president’s desk.”

LPTV stations usually provide locally-oriented or specialized service in their communities. However, LPTV is currently considered a secondary broadcast service by the Federal Communications Commis-

sion (FCC). As such, LPTV licensees are not granted protections from harmful interference or displacement, and must accept harmful interference or displacement from full power television stations.

In 1999, in an effort to protect LPTV stations from harmful interference or displacement during the transition from analog to digital broadcasting, Congress passed the Community Broadcaster Protec-

tion Act (CBPA). The law created the “Class A” station status, and opened a one-time filing window for stations to apply. CBPA directed that Class A licensees be subject to the same license terms and renewal standards as full power television licensees, and that Class A licensees be accorded primary status as television broadcasters as long as they continue to meet the requirements set forth in the statute.

North Bend man cited for poaching three blacktail bucks in 2021

A North Bend resident has been cited for poaching three black-tailed bucks near Coos Bay in 2021, according to law enforcement officials.

Macen M. West, 21, of North Bend, was cited on Dec. 5 for Hunting with the aid of artificial light, three counts of Take Game Mammal Closed Season and three counts of Waste of a Game Mammal for poaching three black-tailed bucks and leaving them to waste on North Spit, Coos Bay, on the weekend of March 19, 2021.

OSP Fish and Wildlife Troopers seized a rifle they believe he used in the crime, according to Sergeant Levi Harris.

Authorities are asking for restitution of $3,000; a threeyear minimum suspension of West’s hunting rights and forfeiture of his Savage 93r 17 rifle.

“It was a crime of opportunity,” Sergeant Harris said, “We believe the shooter drove around a corner, saw the deer in the headlights and made a poor, shocking, impromptu decision to hop out and shoot those deer.”

The deer, likely transfixed by the light, would have been easy targets. He would have

had time to aim and drop each deer individually. In a normal hunting situation, a single shot at one deer would have startled others into flight. Black-tailed deer hunting season was closed at the time.

All three deer were shot in the head, from relatively close range, according to Sergeant Harris. Because the deer were found so close together, investigators believed early on that the poacher had used a spotlight or vehicle headlights to blind the deer.

There were no footprints or tire tracks leading to the site according to Joseph Metzler of Coos Bay, who discovered the scene the morning of Monday, March 23. That morning, traveling on his ATV, Metzler noticed crows congregating in the area. As he rounded a bend in the road, he came upon the deer carcasses directly in front of him, on the hillside.

“As soon as I came around the corner, there they were, and if it had been dark, they would have been standing right in front of my headlights on the hillside,” he said.

Upon learning the case has been solved, Metzler was

happy.

“I was pleased to be able to report it immediately,” Metzler said, “I’m very pleased that OSP was able to continue to pursue this and had success a year later. It goes to show you that if you turn in poachers, it might be a while, but they can find them.”

“We know what’s right and what’s wrong,” Metzler

added, “And it’s too bad that his friends didn’t turn him in. They took this hunting resource from everyone in the local hunting community. Each one of those bucks this year would have filled a freezer and made people proud of how we manage deer in Oregon.”

The Stop Poaching Campaign educates the public on how to recognize and report

poaching. This campaign is a collaboration among state agencies, sportsmen and other conservationists, landowners, and recreationists to engage the public in combatting Oregon’s poaching problem. Our goal is to: Incentivize reporting on wildlife crimes through the TIP Line; Strengthen enforcement by increasing the number of OSP Fish and

Wildlife Troopers; and Support prosecution in becoming an effective deterrent.

The campaign helps to protect and enhance Oregon’s fish and wildlife and their habitat for the enjoyment of present and future generations. Contact campaign coordinator Yvonne Shaw for more information. Yvonne.L.Shaw@odfw. oregon.gov.

Lakers win nailbiter to prepare for league opener

The World

The Lakers fell to North Idaho 126-75 and Green River 99-76 in the other two games of the crossover.

One key discussion point among the council was the idea of finding funding sources for city parks. Both Mayor Joe Benetti and City Manager Rodger Craddock said there is simply not enough tax money to maintain and improve parks like the city would like.

O’Shen Cazimero had 25 points and Matthew Oryang 23 in the win over Olympic. Logan Prince added 17 points and Merrick Sherwood 12.

Joseph Schulkins had 18 points and Zach Jefferson 16 in the loss to Green River. Cody Nixon had 12 and Cazimero 10.

The Lakers begin NWAC South

“I really hope we can find some funding to redo Mingus Park,” Benetti said. “I wish we could find some more ways to get grants. Funding is going to be a huge issue. Our general fund dollars are very tight.”

Craddock agreed, but he said the city has been successful in finding money when the council makes an issue a priority. He pointed to the recent move to repair and

Region play at home Jan. 4 against Chemeketa and are at Mount Hood on Jan. 7.

Aside from the Chemeketa game, which starts at 4 p.m., Wednesday games will start at 7:30 and Saturday games at 4 throughout the NWAC season, following the women’s games, which start at 5:30 and 2.

WOMEN SWOCC’s women are 4-7 heading into league play, on a five-game losing streak.

In their most recent games, they fell to Treasure Valley 66-60, Edmonds 75-59 and Lower Columbia 68-54.

Jaci Powers had 21 points and Kiana Quintero 20 against Treasure Valley while Gillian Roybal added 13.

Boardwalk.

repaint Mingus Pool as an example.

“There’s far more needs that there are resources in the city,” Craddock said. “But there are projects that are getting done.”

During a public hearing on the plan, three members of the public made requests of the council.

“One thing I think you’re missing in your plan is the consideration of kayaks,” Ralph Mohr said. “One of the problems you have is very

few kayak spots.”

Mohr said as a kayaker, he has seen places like Eel Lake turn into tourism hot spots by embracing kayaking.

“Right now, you only have three spots in Coos Bay,” Mohr said.

“I would like to recommend that Coos Bay put in kayak ramps at the Coos History Museum and in conjunction with the Mill Casino, you put one there.”

Craddock told Mohr a kayak launch almost identical to

Suzanne Robbins asked the council to consider the elderly and disabled, especially at Mingus Park.

“I love Mingus Park, but I no longer can access it,” she said.

Mike Vaughn said he would like to see an emphasis on cleaning up and maintaining the Coos Bay

“I’m hoping we can get some maintenance on our city boardwalk and something to alleviate the homeless population that is constantly there,” Vaughn said. “I think we are neglecting the tourism that comes through. The tourists walk in, see the homeless, they see the pigeon poop, and they turn around and walk off.”

While admitting the plan is just a start, the council voted 5-0 to adopt it.

Lake was being installed at Empire Lakes in John Topits Park, with the project expected to open within 60 days.
