Local hospitals wait on vaccines ZACK DEMARS The World
With some doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on the ground in Oregon, local health officials still aren’t quite sure when doses will arrive on the South Coast. Across the country this week, communities cheered as they watched the first vaccinations take place for doctors, nurses and other health care workers who are at the highest risk for contracting the virus. Doses arrived in Oregon this
week, the first of over 35,000 scheduled to arrive in the state this week, according to the Oregon Health Authority. But Coos County hospitals will likely have to wait until another round of shipments next week, officials say. “We do not have confirmation of the number of vaccine doses but have been informed that it will be an adequate supply for our employees that are opting to be vaccinated with this first shipment,” Julie Burton, a spokesperson for Bay Area Hospital, wrote in an email. In Oregon, the first shots
were administered to health care workers Wednesday at hospitals in Portland and Ontario. The first shipment of Oregon’s vaccines went to the Legacy Health, Oregon Health & Sciences University, Kaiser Permante and Saint Alphonsus health systems, OHA said. A key consideration for vaccine distribution is temperature. Two vaccines are scheduled for shipping to states across the country: One, produced by Pfizer, has already begun shipping, and the second, produced by Moderna, was expected to be approved for distribution by the
Food and Drug Administration Friday. The Pfizer vaccine must be stored at super cool temperatures in specialized freezers — freezers that not all hospitals and pharmacies have access to. But the Moderna vaccine, if approved, doesn’t have to be kept as cold, meaning more hospitals and pharmacies — especially those in rural and less populated areas — will be able to store it. “We are excited to hear the news of the expected approval of the Moderna vaccine which
will significantly increase the speed and availability for Bay Area Hospital to administer the vaccine to healthcare providers and staff,” BAH’s Burton wrote Thursday. Those temperature considerations are central for Coquille Valley Hospital, too. It doesn’t have the ultra-cold storage facilities that the Pfizer vaccine requires, meaning it has to wait for the arrival of the Moderna vaccine, according to hospital CEO Jeff Lang.

Coos Art Museum on pause again Exhibits were only open one week ZACK DEMARS The World
COOS BAY — Coos Art Museum fans had just a few days to enjoy a set of short exhibitions as COVID-19 guidelines continue to shift what the museum is able to do. Faced with both a pandemic and a construction project, the Coos Art Museum has been closed for the majority of the year. Now, after just a week of being reopened to the public, state restrictions and high case numbers are forcing it to close once again. “It’s a little strange. It’s just different,” said Steven Broocks, the museum’s executive director. The museum’s first hurdle has been, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic. In the spring, it was forced to close to the public to prevent the spread of the virus. But the challenges continued,

The city, which owns the building that houses the museum, needed to make some improvements to the building’s entry way, since the sidewalk had sunk an inch or two below the accessibility ramp in the years since it was first constructed. “It was probably the time to do it,” Broocks said. So, with the construction
blocking the door, and access already limited because of the pandemic, museum leaders chose to remain closed for much of the summer, the busiest season for the museum. That meant cancellations. Events and fundraisers? At least six were cancelled. One of the longest-running maritime art exhibitions on the west coast, held at the museum
each of the last 26 years, and another exhibition of artists from 13 states? Both cancelled. The springtime exhibition of over 800 works by area students? Closed, just a few weeks after the pieces had been put up on the walls. “So that was kind of a shame to have to end that right in the middle,” Broocks said. But funding and logistical challenges are constants in the museum industry, according to Broocks. That means this year’s been yet another lesson in “just how to roll with the punches.” “Right now we’ve got some good donors that are helping us out,” Broocks said of the museum’s financial picture after fundraisers had to be cancelled. But since the pandemic began, exhibitions held during the museums one-week opening has been some reason for optimism. A small handful of artists have been lucky to have their work on display for a small handful of visitors for the past week.

COOS BAY - Outdoor fires are now banned in Coos Bay parks. On Tuesday, the city council voted unanimously to enact an ordinance to ban fires in city parks. Jim Hossley, director of the public works and community development project, said the request came about due to a series of problems over the last year. “This past spring and summer, Coos Bay Fire responded to a significant number of fires on undeveloped properties, including parks throughout the city,” he said. “Some of these fires were started intentionally, others were unintended due to the dry summer conditions. For the sake of public safety and protection of public property, city staff recommends that recreational fires, camp fires and fires for warming and cooking be prohibited within the boundaries of city parks.” Please see Parks, Page A7

Coos County has fifth death, new outbreaks ZACK DEMARS The World
As the South Coast enters the "extreme risk" category of the state's virus orders, Coos County officials reported the fifth death of a county resident Friday, as well as new virus outbreaks throughout the week. A woman between the ages of 80 and 90 years old died with COVID-19, according to Coos Health & Wellness. She had underlying conditions, though public health officials can't share what those conditions were. Officials this week also reported an outbreak at Life Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility in Coos Bay. As of Thursday, 32 cases of the virus were reported among the facility's residents, staff and close contacts with those individuals. Coos Health & Wellness officials declined to say Thursday what

share of those cases were among facility residents and patients. According to the Oregon Health Authority's weekly report Wednesday, which accounted for only 19 cases, the first case was reported on Dec. 6. McKay's in Bandon and Coquille Valley Hospital also made the state's list of reported workplace outbreaks, with seven and five linked cases, respectively. The numbers don't necessarily mean virus transmission happened at those workplaces — they can include close contacts of workplace employees, or employees who contract the virus but can't definitively link it anywhere else. That's the situation at the hospital, according to CEO Jeff Lang. "We know that there aren't issues between staff and patients, or patients and staff," Lang said Thursday. "We know that we have very good safety

measures in place." The cases among his staff came from outside the hospital, and are a sign of community spread, Lang said. Case counts along the South Coast have been indicating that community spread. Coos County reported 33 new cases of the virus between Dec. 14 and 17, bringing its total case count to 498 Thursday. The new death reported Friday brings the county's death toll to five. To the south, Curry County reported 18 new cases of the virus in the same timeframe, bringing the county's total to 225 cases of the virus,according to state and county data. Two people in that county have died with the virus since the
pandemic began. Douglas County reported 43 new cases of the virus, bringing it to a total of 1,244, and six new virus-related deaths in the same timeframe. 36 in the county have died with the virus since the pandemic began. Four of those deaths were reported on Tuesday. A 70-year-old man died Dec. 5 after being diagnosed with COVID-19 on Dec. 1. A 63-year-old woman died Dec. 6 after being diagnosed with COVID-19 on Nov. 29. An 88-year-old woman died Dec. 7 after being diagnosed with COVID-19 on Nov. 16. A 79-year-old man died Dec. 6 after being diagnosed with COVID-19 on Nov. 16.
Two more were reported Wednesday. A 64-year-old man died Nov. 24 after being diagnosed Nov. 24 and admitted to the hospital Nov. 30. A 78-year-old man died Dec. 16 after being diagnosed Nov. 25 and admitted to the hospital Dec. 6. The new cases and deaths in the county mean precautions are still needed, according to Dr. Robert Dannenhoffer, Douglas County's public health officer. "So this holiday season, please give the gift of protection to those you love, by respecting personal space in staying six feet apart, washing your hands, staying home if you are sick, and wearing personal protective equipment prop-
erly," Dannenhoffer wrote Tuesday. Along the South Coast, the largest percentage increase in cases came from the Brookings-Harbor ZIP code area, according to state data reported Wednesday. That area reported 38 new cases between Dec. 6 and 13, for a total of 161. The Coquille ZIP code area saw 11 new cases in that timeframe for a total of 48, and the Langlois-Bandon area saw three for a total of 33. Coos Bay saw 34 new cases of the virus, for a total of 295. North Bend saw 8, bringing its pandemic total to 140. According to Coquille Valley Hospital's Lang, the community spread indicates the need for caution. "We just have to be super, super safe," Lang said.
Oregon on verge of 100,000 COVID-19 cases Oregon was poised to go over 100,000 total cases of COVID-19 on Friday as part of a week that saw the two days with the most reported deaths since the start of the pandemic — a combined 102 reported on Tuesday and Wednesday. After a week when cases, reported deaths and hospitalizations in the state all dropped, the virus had another surge this week. From Dec. 7-13 there were 9,222 new cases, an 11% decrease from the previous week, ending a run of seven straight weeks with progressively higher case counts. In addition, there were 119 deaths, down from 133, and 491 hospitalizations, also a slight decrease.
There were fewer tests during the week (149,243) and the positivity rate also was lower at 7.4%. People ages 20-49 have accounted for 55% of the cases while people 70 and older have accounted for 76 % of the deaths. The case trends are headed in the wrong direction this week. On Monday, 1,180 new cases and six deaths were reported. Then the number of deaths surged. The number of reported deaths was 54 Tuesday and 48 Wednesday and the combined total of cases those two days was 2,691. Prior to Tuesday, the daily high for deaths was 36. “Today’s record-high death toll
tragically reminds us that the pandemic is far from over despite the arrival of vaccines in Oregon,” Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen said Tuesday. “These Oregonians and the ones who passed before them were loved ones who will be dearly missed by their families, for whom we express our sincerest condolences.” On Thursday, 21 deaths were reported and the 1,339 new confirmed and presumptive cases raised the total to 98,936 cases. From Monday through Thursday, Coos County saw 33 new cases, while Curry County had 18 and Douglas County 43, according to Oregon Health Authority.
Lakeside, Myrtle Point to have drive-thru tests Testing Monday in Lakeside, Tuesday in Myrtle Point Coos Health & Wellness will be offering free COVID-19 tests to residents in some areas next week, according to the agency.
Drive-through testing will be available at the Tenmile Lake Campgound in Lakeside on Monday, Dec. 21, and at the county fairgrounds in Myrtle Point on Tuesday, Dec. 22, CHW wrote in a public service announcement. Both events run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The tests are free of
charge, and CHW says the tests work best for those who are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, like a fever, lost of taste or smell or difficulty breathing. Those who've been in close contact with someone with COVID-19 should also get tested, according to CHW.
"Close contact means being within six feet of someone for 15 minutes or more over the course of a day, with or without a mask or face covering," CHW officials wrote. "It’s best if you wait three to four days after you were together before taking a test."
Checkerberry’s would like to thank the community for your continued support during these trying times.

Residents ask commissioners to fight restrictions DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
COQUILLE — Coos County commissioners received an earful during an emotional call to the public Tuesday and close to a dozen community members, most from Bandon, begged commissioners to do something to ease COVID-19 restrictions in the county. During the meeting, a collective of business owners said enough is enough when it comes to COVID restrictions. “I think one of the most frustrating things is watching everything happen and just feeling silenced,” Theresa Avery said. “Many people are very frustrated. Our leaders are telling us to trust them, trust the science, but we’ve been getting a lot of inconsistent information and a lot of unscientific information. There was the wear a mask, don’t wear a mask. When they were telling us don’t wear a mask, they were telling us it was dangerous to wear a mask. We don’t know who to trust.” Avery said the government needs to start trusting the people, not the other way around. “What we’d like is for you to trust us to make wise decisions,” Avery said. “A lot of the restaurants we’ve seen the efforts they’ve made putting in dividers to create a safe environment, just to get knocked back down is very discouraging. Some of the decrees that have been made, like when they first shut down the parks, we were scratching our heads. You are usually never closer than 60 feet from anybody much less six feet, but they closed everyone down.” Daniel Wilson, pastor of RWCI Ministries in Bandon, said the restrictions are destroying the community. “I’ve come in support of many that are here, just simply because being a pastor in the local community, a building contractor in the local community for 30 years, we’ve seen a lot happen in the community because of this,” he said.
“COVID-19 has definitely been terrible for all of us this year. What’s more terrible than that is corruption in government, in science. There’s been conflicting information from all sides. Some of the facts I’m concerned about is causing people to remain isolated, not to mention what it’s had on business. Less than 6 percent of COVID cases have appeared in children, yet children are remaining isolated. America is facing a teen suicide pandemic. We heard recently that a 5th grader has committed suicide. This COVID and this isolation that is happening has begun to impact in terrible ways.” Denise Vasquez, a business owner in Bandon, said another shutdown could destroy small businesses. “I have a local business that is looking at another shutdown as of Friday. It’s not fair to the restaurants,” she said. “As far as I know, the restaurants aren’t spreading. We’re very diligent to our food handling, our sanitizing. We need to come together as Coos County and say it’s not working, the shut downs, the openings, the shut downs. It’s not working, and we need to come up with another solution.” Vasquez said the government mandates needs to stop and stop now. “I passionately oppose the shut downs, the mask mandates,” she said. “None of the Constitutional and I request a round table, work shop, whatever where we can sit down, we can talk and come up with a better solution for Coos County.” After Vasquez finished speaking, many in the audience began to clap. At that time, Chair Melissa Cribbins asked for the clapping to stop. That led to a further outburst, with one person calling out “You need to do something to help us.” Tanya DePaolo, also of Bandon, said it is time for the people to stand up. “I also vehemently oppose these shut downs, these mask mandates,” she said. “God is who I am loyal to first and foremost. He gave man an immune system, he gave me holes
in my face so I can breathe. These masks are dangerous. I have heart issues, and this causes me to have a lack of oxygen.” DePaolo said the lockdowns are not only wrong but likely illegal. “What’s going on is incredibly wrong, it’s incredibly unconstitutional,” she said. “We have a right to live. We are living, breathing, walking human beings. We don’t serve the government. The government is for the people. Somehow, someway that is being lost and the government is creating fear in the people. We need to take back our rights to live and move about freely and be happy and thrive. Government is trying to squash that and that’s not OK. We have one life. Are we going to live in fear, are we going to live in shutdown? To when, to when? This is too big, too important to be limited to three minutes.” Gloria Robinson told commissioners without help small businesses will disappear throughout the county. “Our communities are suffering, especially ones that depend on restaurants and public stores,” Robinson said. “This is killing them. Many of them can’t survive it. They’re not big corporations that have ample resources to continue on without income coming in. We pay your income, so you’re guaranteed a paycheck. They’re not. This has gone on way too long. This mask things in the biggest bull I’ve seen in my entire life. Are you going to continue to be ruled by people telling you want to do? I’m not. This county needs opened up, and it needs opened up now.” Rob Taylor added to the call, saying freedom is not debatable. “This is an issue of freedom. This is an issue of people being told to do things by bureaucrats that are taking statistics that are not accurate. We know they are not accurate,” he said. “We know that the numbers are incorrect, and we know that we can open up this county. We can’t run away from this illness and we have to ask
Multiple-city, high-speed chase ends with arrest of driver in Coos Bay The World A high-speed chase through multiple cities ended with an arrest in Coos Bay late Wednesday. Coos County sheriff's deputies arrested Steven White, 32, on multiple charges after pursuing his vehicle on Highway 42, U.S. Highway 101 and through downtown Coos Bay, according to a press release from the sheriff's office. The pursuit began with a traffic stop for erratic driving near the junction of Highway 42 and Highway 101. Deputies pursued the vehicle after it accelerated
away from the traffic stop eastbound toward Coquille. Near the intersection of Highway 42 and Green Acres Lane, the driver performed a U-turn and headed back in the direction of Coos Bay, reaching speeds of up to 90 miles per hour, the sheriff's office said. The vehicle ran over spike strips during the pursuit, both at the intersection of Highway 101 and Coos Sumner Road and in downtown Coos Bay. The strips cost the vehicle its front tires and deflated both rear tires, but the pursuit continued, Capt. Gabe Fabrizio wrote in the press
release. Once in Coos Bay, the vehicle continued down Virginia Avenue in both lanes of traffic, the release said. Once at the intersection of Lakeshore Drive and Morrison Road, the vehicle caught fire, and White ran away on foot. The sheriff's K-9 deputy eventually apprehended White, who was arrested on suspicion of elude, reckless endangering, reckless driving and interfering with a police animal. Deputies were assisted by officers from the Coos Bay and North Bend police departments, Fabrizio wrote.
ourselves what are we going to do. Are we going to destroy our economy and come out of our economy completely broke, and we’ll still die anyway because it’s not going anywhere.” Taylor said commissioners need to do something to help the people. “Even with the vaccine coming, many are not going to take the vaccine,” he said. “Yes, these masks are a burden. Whoever is saying to put on the mask and tell you live like that is cowards. They will get on their knees and grovel just for a little safety. John, you get a paycheck every month. Melissa you get one, Bob you get one. Some of us we went through a couple of months with no money, nothing. Nobody came to our rescue, all you did is give us orders. Then when we come to a meeting and somebody happens to clap, Melissa gets irate with us. It’s ridiculous. Be a leader, stop being a coward and putting on your mask and following orders. We’re dying on the vine.” Maria Merriam, who owns a dance studio in Bandon, said the government lockdowns have been devastating for local businesses. “As a business, we have lost 70 percent of our income this year,” she said. “So that’s rough. When our restaurants are shut down, the business owners tell me they might as well have shut down the whole town because it’s empty. They’re panicked. I implore you to do everything within your power. This is not a partisan issue. It’s not about politics anymore, it’s about survival.” Rod Taylor made his argument against government mandates loud and clear. “Our Constitution and Bill of Rights afford us the right to the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness,” he said. “It affords us the right
to freedom of commerce, freedom of association, freedom of religion. These rights have been impeded, they have been trespassed by the unconstitutional mandates of the governor. The governor does not have the constitutional authority to issue the dictates she has. Yet we as a society comply willingly like lemings. We are here as citizens of Coos County because we are stating the Constitution assumes absolute individual liberty. What the Constitution limits is the government. It is high time we as a society take back that territory that has been lost.” After listening to the speakers, Commissioner Bob Main said he mostly agrees. “I don’t agree with the governor at all. We have a 99.6 percent survival rate on COVID. That is better than the average flu,” Main said. “Closed, not closed, it’s crazy. Why is the liquor store or the marijuana store open, and the restaurants are not? The state has revenue from those specific businesses and not the other. Masks, I can’t breathe with these things on. I have to take it off as soon as I leave the room. It really irritates me, this whole thing. Several hundred thousand people need to descend on the capital on any one day in the near future and say we’ve had enough of this baloney. Why is that South Dakota, Florida or anyone else is open and they don’t have any more cases than anyone else? That’s my rant. There needs to be a movement statewide, say-
ing we have had enough. Every single Oregon County needs to do that.” Cribbins also responded, saying the county is fighting for its residents and businesses. “I know you guys don’t see this because you have your own jobs and own lives and you’re working to keep your business open, but your commissioners have spent the last nine months trying to do everything we can to keep businesses open and protect the public health in this county,” she said. “It may not seem like it to you and you may not hear it all the time, but we’ve worked tirelessly trying to do everything we can to maintain that balance. We have asked for rational regulations. We have pushed back on the governor’s office and frankly it’s the governor’s office making the decisions and letting us know what those decision are. You can say that’s not fair, we have said many times it’s not fair. You may not agree with working in the system but that’s really the option we have as elected officials. We have repeated the same things you’ve said, that we are not seeing transmission in the restaurants.” Cribbins said she will reach out to city councils and other government agencies in the county to try to set up a work session where people can express their concerns. For now, the best thing one can do, she said, is reach out to your state legislators and email the governor’s office.

Locking down schools is harming our children Last week, I watched as the Bandon School Board held a special meeting regarding possibly re-opening their schools. While the board eventually chose not to make that decision, I was mostly stricken by the words of board member Ryan Sherman. I honestly don’t know much about Sherman, but he said he has a degree in psychology and has heard from a lot of students and families about the impact of being locked down during COVID. “I worry about the kids’ mental health,” Sherman said. “The mental health impact with this will last for decades. I have kids crying to me because they can’t go to school.” Those words struck a chord with me, a very personal chord. I don’t often use my columns to discuss my personal life, but I’m going to make an exception this time. As I have said before, I have five children. Four of my kids are still in school. Since last March, not one has spent a day in school. And it has harmed them immensely. When Sherman was talking, my 15-year-old was in a mental health hospital, the third time she has been there since the pandemic began. Now, my child had some mental health struggles before COVID, but she was handling them without medication and certainly without week-long stays in the hospital. Being isolated away from friends and extended family led to many of the problems she is facing today. My next child, a sixth-grader, was a straight-A student in advanced classes before COVID hit. Sitting at home and trying do work on a computer with no interaction with classmates and teachers has been enormously challenging. This year, she is struggling just to pass. She can do the work — I know it and she knows it. But after months of staring at a computer screen, it is hard to get motivated. Teachers are trying their best, but there is a big difference between looking at and talking to a teacher and staring at a computer screen. My next child, a fourth-grader, has actually done fine. His mindset has always been a little different, and he is doing well. My youngest, a second-grader, is not as fortunate. She loves school, she loves her teachers, she loves seeing other children and loves making friends. Distance learning is simply not working for her. Every day when it’s time to do her work, she breaks down in tears. In nine months, she has gone from absolutely loving school to absolutely dreading it.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR David Rupkalvis
Executive Editor
I am not a COVID denier. I know it’s real, I wear my mask without hesitation, I wash my hands, I support many of the lockdowns. But when it comes to schools, we as a nation are destroying our children. This is not just harming them, it is devastating them. The facts are simple — schools are not hot spots for COVID. For whatever reason, most children do not get this and they do not spread this. Isolating millions of children is backfiring, and the long-term devastation of COVID decisions is something we may not know for decades. Sherman was 100 percent right. The issues will last for decades. And we are letting it happen with no questions, no concerns and, to be honest, no regard for the real science. The science has shown that schools are not hot spots. A child or two and a teacher or two may get COVID, but they don’t spread it amongst each other like adults do. My wife had COVID several months ago, and none of my children were infected. The impact just isn’t the same with them. By nature, most people are social creatures. We need to interact with others. For children, that’s even more important. Being in school teaches the basics — reading, writing and arithmetic — but it teaches so much more. Being in school teaches children how to interact with others, how to overcome adversity, how to make friends and grow friends. We can teach the basics in any manner, but we can’t teach real life without children being in the same room, on the same playgrounds, on the same teams or the same band or choir. Children need to interact and taking drastic steps to keep them apart is devastating. Simply put, in my view, these decisions will cause more long-term problems than the virus ever has.
Public should be part of the pool conversation I read with great interest the article regarding the North Bend pool. I would like to know how the City of North Bend can even consider the options that they have proposed? It was stated that there are two options regarding the pool. 1. A regional tax district for the pool but since the citizens of North Bend already pay for the pool from their proprty taxes and the only other pools in the county are Mingus and Coquille, a bill like that would not pass and is doomed for failure. 2. Special levy for the pool. Once again, the citizens already pay taxes for the pool, so why don't they have a special levy to fund the police department because the money from the property taxes for the pool was diverted to fund the North Bend police? Was that legal? 3. A public-private partnership for the pool. It was stated that the pool needs $1 million for repairs, so why wasn't the public made aware of the dire need for repairs? The deterioration of the pool doesn't happen overnight and where did the $1 million estimate come from? Are there mutiple estimates or did that number come from thin air? 4. Close the pool. What a great idea! Could that be the same person that suggested there were two options but in realtiy there are four options? Please explain to the North Bend High School Swim Team, the U.S. Coast Guard, Special Olympions, SWOCC, citizens with physical needs, lap swimmers, recreational swimmers and the general public that this North Bend City council cannot work with the non-profit group and try to reopen the pool. The Mingus pool in Coos Bay will have to try and accommodate all of the people in this area that want and need to use the pool. Will the "special retreat" that the council members are planning in January be paid for at the taxpayers’ expense? Why not hold the "retreat" at the pool and allow the public to be a part of the conversation, after all, the North Bend city council works for us. Rebecca Cowan North Bend

A Letter To Mr. Rose. Reading your letter made me think just what planet you're on Sir. Yes there is people that get over the virus with no problems. Thank God for that or we'd be minus 2 Million people as of now. The problem that many people get very sick and lots of them die. This isn't your common cold Sir. Many people that seem to get over it have terrible lasting affects (maybe for life). What it comes down to is this. I don't want to take a chance on getting it and passing it on to somebody that doesn't get over it. It’s easy to wear a mask and keep distance from people. Too much Fox News can be hazardous to your health. This is a worldwide pandemic that we've never seen the likes of, so quit being centered about it not being so bad and stay healthy. It's not rocket science to stay away from high risk places. It's not going to last forever Sir. Gary Smith North Bend
Demand the city open the pool Ballot measure 6-177 reduced North Bend’s “Public Safety Fee” from $30 to $15. Included in the measure was language to the effect of “this measure
will result in no police coverage between 11 PM and 7 AM, North Bend Fire won’t respond to medical calls anymore, and we won’t show up if somebody is trespassing on your property.” That language, though, was added by the city. It was added to discourage voters from passing the measure; a threat to the citizens of North Bend. To that effect, a judge declared that that language could only be on the ballot if that was, in fact, what the city intended to do if the measure passed. Well, the threat didn’t work; the measure passed. The citizens voted, overwhelmingly, to spare themselves that $180/ year. So, did the city do as it claimed it would do and reduce police coverage? Of course not. The department still has aroundthe-clock police coverage. They were always going to continue coverage. They lied to you. “So what?” You say “rent-seeking bureaucrats always lie.” Well, yes, the thing is that lying to induce somebody to take a particular action is called fraud. Ya’ know, fraud? That old criminal chestnut people spend years wearing orange suits as penalty for committing? Specifically, committing fraud to influence an election outcome is known as election fraud. So, now, the city has their eyes set on another line item they wish to steal from: the swimming pool. Soon, they are going to say “Sorry, we can’t afford to keep the pool open, anymore.” Well, they can afford to keep the pool open. They are simply trying to reallocate the money for your swimming pool to their ineffectual police department. Don’t let them get away with this. Demand that they make good on exactly what you voted for. Demand that (virus response permitting) they re-open the pool without taking any more of your money. Furthermore, tell your city officials that their failed attempt at election fraud did not go unnoticed, and that any future attempts will result in our insistence on referral for criminal prosecution.

Take a holiday from eating animals The long-anticipated Christmas holiday is nearly upon us. It conjures visions of happy families gathered by a warm fireplace, opening presents, sharing their love, and ... feasting on ham and turkey. It's the happiest time of the year, but not for the animals. The 222 million turkeys killed in the U.S. this year were raised in crowded sheds filled with toxic fumes. At the tender age of 16 weeks, workers cut their throats and dumped them into boiling water to remove their feathers. Mother pigs are crammed for life in tight metal crates. Their babies are torn away, mutilated without anesthesia, stuck into crowded pens for six months, then slaughtered for Christmas ham. Consumers pay a heavy price too. Animal flesh is laced with saturated fats, cholesterol, hormones, pathogens, and antibiotics that elevate risk of chronic killer diseases. This holiday season, let’s refuse to subsidize such wanton cruelty. Let’s choose from the large variety of plant-based meats, cheeses, ice creams, and milks that abound in every supermarket, along with nutritious fresh fruits and greens. This year, let’s have a truly compassionate Christmas holi-
day, just as the Prince of Peace would counsel. Clyde Bustamante Coos Bay
Bus Jam was group effort I wanted to take a moment to extend my own personal thanks after The World highlighted our club, the Coos Bay North Bend Rotary, in a recent column ("It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas"). I want to first say that, as club president, I do appreciate the kind words extended our way in that column about the recent annual Bus Jam. But, I do want to deflect some praise in the direction of others who have helped make this season so special. People like the whole staff at KDOCK radio who have worked for almost two decades to make the Bus Jam what it is today. Our Rotary club is proud to throw our support in with such hearty, community-minded folks. This year we were also joined by First Student, ORCCA, SWOCC, BiMart, Marler Appraisal Services, the Mill Casino and Banner Bank for the Distribution. God-bless them, every one! I also want to extend a deep and heart-felt thanks from our club to the community for rising to the occasion, or rather occasions, once again. In the midst of this most difficult year, we would not have been able to have as much success with our Bus Jam without you. Nor would we have been able to celebrate our Festival of Trees event, where we were joined this year by sponsors: Morgan Veterinary, RE/MAX South Coast, Marshfield Mercantile/UHaul, The Mill Casino and John & Junia Chambers to help raise money for Shots for Tots and Kids HOPE Center, among other projects. These were large-scale efforts and needed massive teams to pull them off. It was awe-inspiring to see how everyone came together. Of course, we needed that Christmas spirit, too, and this wonderful community really provided it. To everyone that was able to support us in any way — great or small — Thank you all, so much! I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and safe and Happy New Year! Tim Novotny Coos Bay North Bend Rotary Club
Bandon firemen rock Saturday, Dec. 5, my wife and myself, along with my 97-yearold mother-in-law, were just sitting down for dinner when I heard a low roar. My wife said, what is that? I replied, it’s a flute fire. I ran outside to look at the chimney, saw three-foot flames blowing out of the chimney cap, wife’s on the phone with 911 and reality sets in. The Bandon Fire Department made me proud to live here. They were well prepared, well equipped and calming to most. I learned many lessons that night, some I had learned when much younger but had forgotten, and some I knew but neglected to do. So, take it from someone who should of, could of, but didn’t. If you use a fireplace or wood stove, get it cleaned and have all components working properly, i.e. damper. A big thank you to the Bandon Fire Department, with special thanks to the chief. I’d also like to give a big thanks to the neighbor who came over to alert us of the fire. Merry Christmas to you all. Ben Karn and Iris Bandon

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren MEMORIES OF WOMAN CLOUD DEVOTED DAD'S HAPPINESS DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my wife for two years, after being together for 10 years. We have two kids with a third on the way. Our relationship is great. It's healthy. I just have this feeling of loneliness. I feel like I have my children and that's it. My mind often wanders to a woman from the past. I would never leave my children because they are my world. I just cannot control or ignore these chronic feelings of unhappiness and loneliness. I'll be honest: I wish I could just have one conversation with said woman. I don't know what to do. -- RON IN CALIFORNIA DEAR RON: "One conversation" with the woman from your past won't fix what has gone wrong with your marriage. You have a responsibility to your wife and your growing family. What you are experiencing could be symptoms of depression. You may be feeling overwhelmed with the responsibilities you now carry and subconsciously yearning for the carefree years you enjoyed before you were formally married. Before you feel more alienated than you already do, I urge you to talk this out with a licensed psychotherapist. DEAR ABBY: I have a friend who has a habit of giving me unsolicited gifts. It's little things like string lights for my patio or a small toy for my daughter, but it makes me feel obligated to give her a gift back. I would rather not be stuck in this continual gift exchange loop, especially during a pandemic when you're not supposed to be seeing people outside your household. This friend has shown up unannounced at my doorstep to drop
off a gift without letting me know she's coming. The last gift she offered I refused because it was an offensive toy that wasn't age appropriate for my daughter. Was I right to do that? How can I stop this cycle without hurting my friend's feelings? -- GIFTED IN THE WEST DEAR GIFTED: Understand that this friend may not give you these gifts out of generosity, but because it gives her an excuse to interact with you. You have a right to refuse any item intended for yourself or your child that you feel is inappropriate. Jump off the gift-giving treadmill by telling this person her friendship is enough and you will no longer accept any gifts because it makes you uncomfortable. DEAR ABBY: I have an older relative who uses the word "whatever" when she is done discussing something. I don't think she realizes how dismissive it comes across to others. It's as if she doesn't care about the other person's opinion or comments. It creates a barrier with family, and I think people distance from her because of it. I avoid talking to her because it's so blunt and rude. How can I explain that the word now has a negative connotation and should be avoided? -- STAYING AWAY TO NOT GET HURT DEAR STAYING AWAY: Address it the next time she uses "whatever" in conversation with you. ASK if she is using the word because she isn't interested in what you are trying to convey and what she means by it. THEN explain how hearing it made you feel, because it may not have been her intent. (If it was, then you, too, have a right to distance yourself.)

Biden taps Haaland as interior secretary Associated Press President-elect Joe Biden selected New Mexico Rep. Deb Haaland as his nominee for interior secretary on Thursday, a historic pick that would make her the first Native American to lead the powerful federal agency that has wielded influence over the nation's tribes for generations. Tribal leaders and activists around the country, along with many Democratic figures, cheered Haaland's selection after urging Biden for weeks to choose her to lead the Department of Interior. They stood behind her candidacy even when concerns that Democrats might risk their majority in the House if Haaland yielded her seat in Congress appeared to threaten her nomination. With Haaland's nomination, Indigenous people will for the first time in their lifetimes see a Native American at the table where the highest decisions are made — and so will everyone else, said OJ Semans, a Rosebud Sioux vote activist who was in Georgia on Thursday helping
get out the Native vote for two Senate runoffs. “It’s made people aware that Indians still exist,” he said. Haaland, 60, is a member of the Pueblo of Laguna and, as she likes to say, a 35th-generation resident of New Mexico. The role of interior secretary would put her in charge of an agency that has tremendous sway not only over the nearly 600 federally recognized tribes, but also over much of the nation’s vast public lands, waterways, wildlife, national parks and mineral wealth. Haaland tweeted after the news was made public that “growing up in my mother's Pueblo household made me fierce. “I'll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land,” she pledged. Biden plans to introduce Haaland — and other picks for his Cabinet — at an event Saturday in Wilmington, Delaware. Her selection breaks a 245year record of non-Native officials, mostly male, serving as the top federal official over
American Indian affairs. The federal government often worked to dispossess Native Americans of their land and, until recently, to assimilate them into white culture. “You've got to understand — you’re taking Interior full circle," said Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, chair of the House Natural Resources Committee and a champion of Haaland for the job. “For years, its legacy was the disenfranchisement of the Native people of this country, of displacement, of cultural genocide." With Haaland's nomination, “that in itself is a huge message,” Grijalva said. Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez called it "truly a historic and unprecedented day for all Indigenous people.” “I am SO ELATED,” the head of progressive Democrats' Sunrise Movement, Varshini Prakash, tweeted. "This will be the first time an Indigenous person - and a badass climate champion woman at that - will hold any presidential cabinet position. Congratulations to @
JoeBiden for making history.″ Get-out-the-vote activists believe their efforts, and the Native vote, helped flip Arizona in particular for Biden and secure the presidency. “There's a feeling something is changing,” said Ashley Nicole McCray, a member of the Absentee Kiowa tribe of Oklahoma and of an indigenous environmental coalition. “Finally, we've come to this point where Indigenous sentiment is no longer being silenced." But Biden's pick could further deplete, at least temporarily, the narrow majority Democrats maintain in the House. Biden has already selected several lawmakers from the chamber, including Louisiana Rep. Cedric Richmond and Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge, to serve in his administration. Some on Biden’s transition team had expressed concerns about dipping further into the already thinned Democratic House majority for another senior administration posting. But Biden decided that the barrier-breaking aspect of her nomination and her
experience as vice chair of the House Committee on Natural Resources made her the right pick for the moment. The president-elect has been methodically filling the posts in his Cabinet, adding North Carolina environmental official Michael Regan as his nominee to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. Biden introduced former South Bend, Indiana, mayor Pete Buttigieg earlier this week as his transportation secretary and announced Thursday that former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm was his nominee for energy secretary. In a statement Thursday night, Biden said he had assembled a “brilliant, tested, trailblazing team” that “will be ready on day one to confront the existential threat of climate change.” “They share my belief that we have no time to waste to confront the climate crisis, protect our air and drinking water, and deliver justice to communities that have long shouldered the burdens of environmental harms,” the president-elect said.
Hack against U.S. is ‘grave threat,’ agency says WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal authorities expressed increased alarm Thursday about a long-undetected intrusion into U.S. and other computer systems around the globe that officials suspect was carried out by Russian hackers. The nation's cybersecurity agency warned of a “grave” risk to government and private networks. The hack compromised federal agencies and “critical infrastructure” in a sophisticated attack that was hard to detect and will be difficult to undo, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in an unusual warning message. The Department of Energy acknowledged it was among those that had been hacked. The attack, if authorities can prove it was carried out by Russia as experts believe, creates a fresh
foreign policy problem for President Donald Trump in his final days in office. Trump, whose administration has been criticized for eliminating a White House cybersecurity adviser and downplaying Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, has made no public statements about the breach. President-elect Joe Biden, who inherits a thorny U.S.-Russia relationship, spoke forcefully about the hack, declaring that he and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris “will make dealing with this breach a top priority from the moment we take office.” “We need to disrupt and deter our adversaries from undertaking significant cyberattacks in the first place,” he said. “We will do that by, among other things, imposing substantial costs on those respon-
sible for such malicious attacks, including in coordination with our allies and partners.” “There’s a lot we don’t yet know, but what we do know is a matter of great concern,” Biden said. CISA officials did not respond to questions and so it was unclear what the agency meant by a “grave threat” or by “critical infrastructure” possibly targeted in the attack that the agency says appeared to have begun last March. Homeland Security, the agency's parent department, defines such infrastructure as any “vital” assets to the U.S. or its economy, a broad category that could include power plants and financial institutions. The agency previously said the perpetrators had used network management software from Texas-based SolarWinds t o infiltrate
computer networks. Its new alert said the attackers may have used other methods, as well. Tech giant Microsoft, which has helped respond to the breach, revealed late Thursday that it had identified more than 40 government agencies, think tanks, non-governmental organizations and IT companies infiltrated by the hackers. It said four in five were in the United States — nearly half of them tech companies — with victims also in Canada, Mexico, Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom, Israel and the United Arab Emirates. “This is not ‘espionage as usual,’ even in the digital age. Instead, it represents an act of recklessness that created a serious technological vulnerability for the United States and the world,” Microsoft said in a blog post.

Hossley said propane cook stoves will be permitted, and people can also get permits to use fires in the parks. He said a majority of the problem fires were related to transients or homeless people starting fires for warming and cooking. Too often, Hossley said, the fires were left unattended. The problems were primarily at undeveloped areas of Mingus and John Tompkins parks. Coos Bay Fire Chief
Mark Anderson said the change would help his department. “If it eliminates one fire in John Topits or Mingus parks that’s a win on our part,” Anderson said. Police Chief Gary McCullough said implementing the ordinance would also help his officers. He said with fires currently allowed, it is difficult to stop activities at the park. McCullough said the ordinance would just be another tool for his officers to use. The ordinance was approved by a unanimous vote and will go into effect in 30 days.
In another move toward city parks, council told city staff to move forward with a plan to close city-owned boat ramps overnight. The ramps are currently open 24 hours, but Hossley said the city has run into many problems with the ramps open overnight. The biggest problem is with the ramps open, police have no authority to remove the homeless who camp in the area. The amount of people has led to major issues with the public restrooms at the ramps, as well. “Sometimes they have to clean the bathrooms up to four times a day,” Councilman Drew Farmer
said. “We are having some problems with transients, and it’s not just them, leaving trash.” McCullough said closing the park would make it easier for police to control what is happening there. “We had a really serious issue over there the last few weeks, and Officer Babb worked really hard, got some compliance and was able to get them cleared out, but, If we don’t do something, it’s just a matter of time before they start filling back in,” he said. While the council agreed to move forward, they weren’t all happy. “It’s really unfortunate
it’s come to this,” Councilor Stephanie Kilmer said. “I have over the years spent a lot of time in that area and I spent some time down there this past weekend. Just as an observer sitting in my car, it’s kind of like a network that gets together down there and they actually watched my activity which made me uncomfortable. It is life, it is unfortunate, but I think I have to side with our parks commission and our staff.” The city proposal would close the ramps from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Most recreational fishermen will have no problem with that, but the council heard some
crabbers and tuna fishermen do leave during that time period. McCullough said his officers would have discretion to allow people using the ramps for recreational purposes and would treat each case separately. “Closing the facility gives officers another tool,” City Manager Rodger Craddock said. “It means no one is supposed to be there, and they can be equally enforced.” After the discussion, council members told city staff to move forward with creating an ordinance to change the hours of operation at the ramps.

that clarification was issued to the staff.

Sick leave during a pandemic
The email, sent out by the district’s Human Resources Department earlier this month, was a misunderstanding, according to district Superintendent Bryan Trendell. “It was a misunderstanding,” he said. “(The email) was communication about tracking COVID leave. (The) miscommunication was if you are out for any reason for COVID, you aren’t getting paid and that’s certainly not the situation at all.” Trendell said the email was an attempt to get a handle on tracking COVID leave in general. This includes how the district tracks leave, how it is paid and where the money comes from when the district pays for it. Right now, there is a COVID leave program – the Families First Coronavirus Response Act – available for any business of a certain size to cover its employees as needed, according to Public Affairs Specialist Peter Rudy, with the Oregon Department of Education. He said it includes public school districts and teachers, but is not exclusive to them. In order to receive the funding though, a school district must apply for it. Trendell made it clear
As Trendell explained it, if a teacher gets sick, they will take sick leave like usual regardless if they have COVID-19. “If they are quarantined because of a potential exposure, the first option is to have them work from home,” he said. “If there is distance learning, that’s easier to do than if they’re in person. We would still make arrangements for them to work virtually with the classroom and temporarily work from distance learning because if a teacher is quarantined for a possible exposure, chances are children in the classroom are quarantined as well and temporarily distance learning.” But if the teacher is not able to work from home, there is the option for the COVID leave program provided through the federal government. The Families First Coronavirus Response Act provides up to 80 hours of pay for COVID leave. “…We would apply for that through the district for that staff member to receive,” Trendell said. “Each case is unique depending on the staff member and their duties. We would work with them and come up with the best solution.” But school districts across the country are
“Obviously the last resort if there is no leave, then it would potentially become no pay. We never want to get to that point.
Trendell acknowledged that if a teacher were to use up those 80 hours of paid leave through the program then the district would take a look at what other options are out there to keep teachers paid in a “worst-case-scenario.” “Obviously the last resort if there is no leave, then it would potentially become no pay,” he said. “We never want to get to that point. We would work with the employee to avoid that at all costs….” As of this week, Trendell said the Coos Bay School District has yet to reach that hypothetical point. So far this school year, the district has seen six staff members asked to quarantine. When the school year started, Trendell said that he anticipated a higher number. “I expected that we would see more,” he said, encouraged that there have
only been a handful as of now. “…It means what we’re doing as far as our safety protocols in our buildings is effective in limiting the spread of the virus.” When the pandemic hit, safety protocols taken on by the district included the now-typical increased cleaning, face masks, handwashing and social distancing. Since the school year began, Trendell said some additional changes have been put into place to make an even safer environment for staff and students. “We have a few adjustments based upon having to quarantine a staff member who may have exposed a group of kids,” he said. “We made adjustments to reduce the number of groups the staff members are exposed to. This is usually staff members involved with multiple groups like maybe a (physical education)
teacher or a librarian that will see multiple groups within a week rather than a classroom teacher who only sees one group of kids.” These groups, also known as cohorts, are kept together and not allowed to mingle with other groups. By reducing exposure to multiple cohorts, Trendell said the district has been able to reduce the number of staff quarantined as a result of a classroom quarantine. Some schools affected by the pandemic so far include Madison, Sunset and Eastside elementary, as well as Millicoma Intermediate School and the district office. These buildings were affected as far as some people needing to quarantine, but not by any direct COVID-19 transmission. “There hasn’t been any spread from one cohort to another, which is good,” Trendell said. “It means the cohort model is effective.”

concerned, waiting to hear if the federal program will continue into 2021. “There’s been conversation that the program only goes to the end of December,” Trendell said, but added, “There’s discussion to extend that program into the new year. We are sitting and waiting on that.” “(Gov. Kate Brown) is calling for a special session next week, but I’m not sure if that will have anything to do with extending this,” Rudy said. In the meantime,

A series by Susan Lehman of Bandon is displayed at the Coos Art Museum and reflects on Lehman's experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of those works centered on the emotions that the artists, and many others, have cycled through during a challenging year. On the first floor, a series of larger-than-life charcoal drawings by Eugene artist M.V. Moran reflects on the “trials of 2020,” Moran wrote in an artist’s statement about the work. Each drawing is of a solitary female figure — isolated and frustrated, Moran wrote, like so many have found themselves. On the building’s second floor, more artists reflect on the pandemic’s struggles. The museum has made one of its smaller galleries available to Susan Lehman, a Bandon artist who’d planned to show the paintings elsewhere but saw that exhibition cancelled because of the virus. Along the wall of that gallery, Lehman’s 10-piece series, painted in March and April and titled “A Delicate Balance,” pres-
ents the themes Lehman experienced early in the pandemic, as family members tested positive for the virus and she stayed home to isolate. “Worry was overwhelming, except when I was in my studio,” Lehman wrote in an artists’ statement. “My paintings kept evolving and eventually I could see how I had processed my feelings about what had been happening, even though that had not been the intention.” The works are collages, which started as molding paste pushed through stencils, Lehman said. Over time, she developed the series to represent more moments she experienced, like cancelled painting trips and time spent observing the grove of trees behind her home. “We are all living balanced between what we need to do, versus what we are allowed to do safely,” Lehman wrote. “We as artists manage to create whether locked down in our studios, or painting among friends, processing what we see and hear from outside our walls.” In the building’s atrium,
another exhibition displays a collection of paintings created by the museum’s Art Studio group. The exhibition, titled “Alone Together,” is made up from the work of the twelve area painters who continued to collaborate even during the pandemic, Broocks said. The exhibitions are scheduled to run through January, but likely only a few people will have the chance to see them. On Friday, Coos County entered the “extreme risk” category of state pandemic restrictions, meaning indoor museums had to close their doors once again. What’s more, the exhibitions were planned two years in advance, meaning the artists couldn’t possibly have known how the pandemic might shutter their showings. The museum already has a full schedule of exhibitions for the coming year. He’s hoping they’ll be able to continue as planned — but with the virus still in the community, that’s not a guarantee. “Generally, this world is a pretty well-planned world,” Broocks said.

“My hope is that when it does get here we have a high percentage of our population that takes advantage of the vaccine,” Lang said. Bay Area Hospital is also waiting for the Moderna vaccine. Officials there anticipate they’ll receive 1,300 doses in the next week, Burton said. “We are thankful that we have the capability to store either the Pfizer vaccine or the Moderna vaccine and we have plans for the initial vaccination of our providers and staff,” Burton said. Once vaccines are in hand, state health officials have established guidelines for who’s set to actually receive vaccines, since there won’t be enough for everyone for several more months. The work starts with health care providers — like hospital staff, emergency service personnel and long-term care providers — and the staff and patients at skilled nursing facilities. Those two groups are the only ones OHA has scheduled to receive vaccines this month. Patients at staff at nursing facilities are slated to receive their vaccines
through a federal partnership with pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens. “Their vaccinations are set to begin sometime next week, and will begin with skilled nursing facilities, but eventually will be used to vaccinate in a variety of congregate care settings, including a handful of facilities caring for residents with intellectual and developmental disabilities,” OHA officials wrote in a press release Wednesday. As more vaccines are delivered, more people will have access to vaccinations, including those over the age of 65, those with conditions that put them at higher risk of COVID-19 and, eventually, the general public. The vaccines come in a two-shot sequence — with 21 days between doses for the Pfizer version, and 28 for the Moderna version — and are supposed to come at no cost to recipients. They’re also safe to use, health officials say. “I want every Oregonian to know: COVID-19 vaccination is the safest, most effective and most reliable way to keep yourself, your family and your community healthy and safe from COVID-19,” OHA Director Patrick Allen said Wednesday. Both vaccines went through the FDA’s emer-
gency use authorization process, which requires three different phases of human clinical trials, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It also requires approval by an independent advisory board made up of medical experts. That board met to recommend approval for the Moderna vaccine Thursday. After that advisory committee recommends approval, the FDA reviews the recommendation and the data about a vaccine’s effectiveness and safety before approving it for use throughout the country. In Oregon, there’s an additional step: Once a COVID-19 vaccine is approved by the FDA, a workgroup of experts from five western states reviews the safety of the vaccine and confirms its safety and efficacy. The Moderna vaccine could receive final FDA approval as soon as the weekend, and the first shipments are scheduled for Dec. 22. Still, since it will take a considerable amount of time to widely distribute the vaccine, health officials say pandemic precautions must still be taken, including mask wearing, social distancing and regular hand-washing.

SCHHC offers COVID-19 testing in Bandon Bandon Western World Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center is offering quick, fast, and accurate COVID-19 testing to our community. For the general population, anyone who suspects they have symptoms of coronavirus, or suspects they may have been exposed to someone who has COVID, should consult immediately with their primary care provider (PCP). A patient’s PCP will determine if they need a COVID
test and help determine where to get a test. SCHHC has a program for employees working at Bandon businesses that will ensure that employees at businesses, first responders, and government employees — all of whom make up the backbone of Bandon’s economy — may access COVID-19 testing and receive same-day results. The design of the program is to reduce the uncertainty that many small businesses experience around employee health in
the era of COVID-19. Businesses are now faced with difficult decisions when an employee reports an illness. The loss of even one employee to COVID-19 isolation or quarantine could be devastating to a small business. Now, COVID-19 testing is only a phone call away at Southern Coos Hospital.
hospital registration staff “I’m here because I’m an essential Bandon worker!” • The general public is not eligible for this program. However, anyone who suspects they have symptoms of COVID or have been in contact with someone COVID positive should talk to their PCP immediately.
Who is Eligible?
Here’s how it works:
• All Bandon workers are eligible. Any employee who works at a Bandon business is eligible. Patients are instructed to tell the
• No doctor’s order? No problem. If an employee has a primary care doctor, they will need a doctor’s order. If they
don’t have a primary care provider or they have trouble obtaining an order, Southern Coos Hospital will provide the doctor’s order for the test. • No insurance? No problem. If an employee has insurance, we will bill their insurance. If your employee doesn’t have insurance, Southern Coos will cover the cost of the test.

Health district has new board members Bandon Western World

Bandon superintendent plans resignation Developing COVID-19 metrics to determine in-person learning after winter break JILLIAN WARD For The World
BANDON ─ Two topics shook Bandon School District’s regular school board meeting on Monday. Not only will students continue distance learning until new COVID-19 metrics can be evaluated Jan. 4, but the school board unanimously approved Superintendent Doug Ardiana’s resignation. “I want to make it clear to anyone in the public that this has no reflection on anything that transpired recently,” Ardiana said when he announced his resignation, his last day being the end of the school year in June. “This was done before any controversy hit our community.”
Watching the COVID-19 metrics Since last week’s emergency school board meeting, it was clear that the community was split on wanting students in the classroom versus distance learning.
On Dec. 14, Ardiana explained to the school board the district will need to keep a close eye on the COVID-19 metrics as they are released between now and Jan. 4. These numbers will determine whether students can return to the classroom or if families will need to brace for more remote learning. These numbers will also dictate which grades can come back and when. The guidelines, he said, are set by the Oregon Department of Education. “Every Monday, metrics are posted by ODE,” he surmised. “If a family is watching that data and can see we are at 185 cases and then next week we are at 165 … we will bring students back in that scenario. If we look at cases and they are at 160 then go to 175, we will not bring kids back because we have an increase and after Christmas exposures (cases) will spike again… It is imperative to monitor local metrics to see if it is increasing or not.” The categories the district is looking for include the Red Zone, which the community is already in and does not allow in-person learning. This is determined by having more than 200 local COVID-19 cases per 100,000. The Orange Zone is when there are 100 to 200 local cases. If Bandon enters that category
and shows a continuous decline in numbers, kindergarten through 5th grade may return to the classroom. However, if there is an increase while in the Orange Zone, no one will return to in-person learning. The Yellow Zone is when there are 50 to 100 cases. If this happens, kindergarten through 5th grade will return to the classroom. If Bandon remains in the Yellow Zone for four weeks, then 6th through 8th grade can return. If there is another four weeks in the Yellow Zone after that, then 9th through 12th grade can return to in-person learning. If high school grades can return to the classroom, it would be a hybrid learning model that would still use some remote learning, he said. A letter written by a parent in the district, Paula McMillan, was read into the record during the meeting on the issue. She addressed the emergency meeting from last week, which “plainly speaking, it sucked,” she said. “I understand emotions were high with the news and the ever-changing metrics (that) tossed our children back into distance learning,” the letter read. “I, along with many parents, hoped the special session would introduce a pathway … to bring our students back to the classroom Jan. 4… Many of us … came
away with an impression the school board supported a parents-versus- teacher showdown.” McMillan urged the school board to clarify its intention behind not using the Safe Harbor provision to bring kindergarten through 5th graders back to the classroom, to which one board member responded saying, “We aren’t at war with the teachers or administration. It’s the opposite. We want to be the most supportive….” “I don’t think there are any sides,” said Marie Simonds, board member. “We want what is best for students, staff and community.” Ardiana said he took full responsibility in moving students to remote learning as the pandemic numbers spiked in the community. He also apologized for “any lack of communication to the board.” “I think our district has worked hard to do the best we can for students,” he added. “We will have a team effort to make this the best possible spring we can and get through this together, which is the Bandon way.” Ocean Crest Elementary Principal Becky Armistead, thanked Simonds for her statement. “…We are all advocating for the people we are entrusted to serve,” Armistead said.

Of the scholarship funds, $3,000 will be used to support
a scholarship in the name of Norman F. Sprague Jr., to be awarded to the outstanding Bandon High School senior in computers, science and match. The other $1,000 will be used for the Principal Gay Knapp Character Scholarship. In a letter to the foundation, Bandon Superintended Doug Ardiana expressed appreciation.
“Your dedication and continued support of Bandon School District have made it possible to maintain our current level of success,” Ardiana wrote. “We can’t thank you enough for your generosity. With the help of a lot of caring people like yourselves, I feel we are making a difference in the lives of Bandon students.”

The Southern Coos Health District has appointed two new people to its five-member board of directors. At its Nov. 19 meeting, the board appointed Norbert Johnson, a Bandon resident with lengthy experience in the healthcare sector. Johnson replaced Carol Acklin, who resigned from the board. At a special meeting Dec. 3, the board appointed Cary McGagin, a realtor based at Coastal Sotheby’s in Bandon. McGagin replaced board chair Esther Williams, who resigned and died recently after a bout with an illness. District officials released a statement following Williams’ death. “The Southern Coos Health District Board of Directors and Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center team are saddened to learn of the passing of former Board Member, and Board Chair, Esther Williams following a battle with serious illness,” the message read. “She served Southern Coos Hospital and Health District for over 30 years, working as a nurse and in a number of other roles in the hospital, and then later as a board member. A dedicated community servant, as well as a local business owner, Esther was a tireless advocate for the Bandon area. Our condolences go out to Esther’s friends and family. May she rest in peace.” For information about the Southern Coos Health District Board, its current and past members, meeting agendas and minutes, visit https://southerncoos.org/board-of-directors/ or call 541-329-1040.

AS I SEE IT
By Mary Schamehorn I have chosen the first picture to share this week because it is the Port of Bandon office that was built not long after the Bandon Fire of 1936. The Moore Mill Truck Shop and Moore Mill are visible in the background, and Panter Feed Store (now The Big Wheel) is at right. The bare land in the foreground is now the home of the Arcade Tavern, which was built in 1973, so I am guessing that this photo was taken sometime in the ‘60s. A headline in the Sept. 30, 1937, issue of Western World talks about the building. “Headquarters for the Port of Bandon and office for its assistant secretary, John Nielson, will soon be quartered in a new frame structure 18x30 feet that is being erected on the port waterfront property by members of the crew from the tug Klihyam. “Since the fire of last September, the Port has had only the cramped temporary quarters of Mr. Nielson’s office in which to carry on its business. After moving in the big Port safe, which was recon-
The Port of Bandon office ditioned, there was only standing room left and not for more than two people.” Several months later, another article said the port was now occupying the office. “The building provides in addition to the office space a commodious room for holding port meetings. It has all modern conveniences.” Today, it is the home of Tony’s Crab Shack, one of the thriving businesses on the waterfront. I do remember seeing a picture of the port commissioners meeting around a table in that room years ago when Pete Goodbrod was on the commission .... and many of them were smoking in that tiny space. But that was the norm in those days. The second photo was taken in January of 1958 when Jesse “Bud” Laub (see inset) opened his new Texaco Service Station at Highway 101 and Elmira. It was the site of the former Bob Otto Court, which survived the Fire, having been open only a couple of months when it burned in 1936. The property was purchased by the Texaco company in 1957, and the

auto court/motel was torn down to make way for the new service station. Today it is the home of the Chevron station that is on the same site. At far right you can see the old warehouse owned by Ernie Panter, at far left (nearly out of the photo) is the American Legion Hall, which at the time of the fire was one of the buildings erected by the Red Cross. It is across Delaware Avenue from the building pictured that is now the dental office of Dr. Sharen Strong. Moore Mill’s office is now located where the Panter building was in this picture. A native Bandonian, Laub drove truck before he leased the station from Texaco. An article in Western World explains that Mr. and Mrs. (Jean) Laub were former operators of the grocery store at Wintersville, at the top of Bear Creek Hill. Taken in April of 1958, the third picture I am sharing is teacher Lloyd Gabriel’s Great Decisions class. I have chosen to share this because I often hear from Mr. Gabriel (better known to his friends as Gabe) and in early December he just celebrated his 99th birthday. His wife, Ruth, who taught home economics at BHS in the late ‘50s, is 93. They now live in the Yakima Valley. He was my American Problems teacher my senior year at BHS (195657) and he often shared stories of his time as a prisoner of war. Today he is state commander of the Ex-POW state department in Washington where they live. Others in the Great Decisions photo, from left, are Linda Sutherland, Jane Chappell, Rhetta Bowen (behind her and not visible Judy Nuttbrock), barely visible Ronelda Riley, Joy Swenston, Kay Yockey, Mr. Gabriel, Weston Duggan, Larry Chalfan, David Lorenz, Louis Bohles, Gary Johnson and John Gamble.

Port of Bandon office in late 1930s. (now Tiffany) and Gamble have homes in Bandon. *** I found an item in the December 1, 1949, issue of Western World that could just as easily have been written today. The headline reads: “Truancy No Problem; Parkersburg Pupils Rather Be In School.” It seems that “a group of children near Bandon like school so much they talked their teacher into foregoing a holiday last Friday, and having classes as usual instead. “People at the Parkersburg school expressed regret on the day before Thanksgiving that not only Thursday but Friday, too, was to be a holiday. The teacher, Mrs. Harry Houghton, decided to put it to a majority vote of the pupils. They elected to have school Friday. “There are 16 students in the school, and when class took up at the usual time Friday, 14 were present. They two who were missing had been absent several days, apparently due to illness.” My heart goes out to youngsters across the country, but most especially here in Bandon. So many of them want to be attending school. Distance learning simply isn’t cutting it for many of them. They are missing so much more than just the Three Rs. I know if you took a vote today, a majority of the kids would vote to be in school! And so would their parents. After the Parkersburg school, like so many other small outlying school districts (Upper Fourmile, Lower Fourmile, Bear Creek, Bullard, Prosper, Randolph) closed, the teacher mentioned in the article, Mrs. Harriet (Harry) Houghton, taught in the Bandon grade school. I also thought there was a school at Two Mile, but there was no mention of it in Bill Lansing’s book “Remember When” which provides historic data about school districts in Coos County between 1850 and 1940. *** I heard about a very disturbing incident that occurred last week near Bandon.

‘Soul’ – What makes you ... you “Soul” begins streaming Friday on Disney+.
BY GEORGE DICKIE
Animated Disney+ feature considers how a soul becomes a ‘Soul’
We’ve all imagined what a human soul might look like. But Disney+ makes it the centerpiece of a storyline in an animated film that begins streaming Christmas Day, Friday, Dec. 25. In “Soul,” we are introduced to Joe Gardner (voice of Jamie Foxx, “Ray”), a middle-school band teacher with a passion for jazz, who falls through a manhole in the middle of New York City and into The Great Before, a fantastical place where new souls get their quirks, personalities and interests before they head off to their human incarnations.
There he meets up with 22 (voice of Tina Fey, “30 Rock”), a precocious soul who never understood the allure of the human experience. As Joe tries to show 22 that life as a living, breathing person has its upsides, he sets off on a journey that may help him answer some of life’s more important questions. The film was directed by Oscar winner Pete Docter (“Up,” “Inside Out”), who years ago became fascinated with his own infant son’s apparent personality and soul at birth. More than 23 years later, he turned that into a story when he began questioning his own life path.

“(It) just inspired him to think about his kids,” explains Dana Murray, the film’s producer, “like his son when he was born, just (how) he showed up with so much personality on day one. And how is that? Where does that come from? And so really just those two things really inspired the spark, really, for the idea.” As for portraying the soul itself, Murray and the team at Pixar Animation Studios did plenty of research, talking to a wide range of spiritual people, including priests, pastors, Buddhists and Shamans to get their take on how a soul might appear.

“And across the board,” Murray says, “it was very, very similar in how people described it: ethereal, vaporous, no form. And so we were like, ‘Oh, well how are we going to portray that on a screen? We need something.’ But we didn’t want it to be ghostlike, like Casper the ghost. “So from that research, we just started our character artists down a path of exploring and they went down all kinds of crazy routes and we went back to a drawing that Pete had done at the very beginning. Super simple, of just like that light bulb shape.”

Bridge Some countries have held top-level atthe-table bridge events. The first three were, I believe, in Poland, Latvia and Norway. The Norwegian pairs championship was played in September at Kragero. The teams championship took place one month later at Latvik, an hour's drive up the coast from Kragero. Today's deal features great play by Tom Johansen, whose team finished second. It was reported by Knut Kjaernsro. How did Johansen play in four spades after West led the diamond queen to dummy's king? Note that South's jump to four spades promised at least five trumps. Since North might have raised with only three spades in a minimum 3=1=4=5 or 3=4=1=5 hand, South, with only four spades, should rebid three no-trump.
Then North will pass with three spades or correct to four spades with four-card support. D e c l a r e r seemed destined to lose one heart and three clubs. How could he make one loser evaporate? Johansen drew trumps in three rounds, played his second diamond to dummy's ace and called for the club 10. If East had covered with his queen, it would have clarified the position, but he played low. Now West, after winning with the club ace, wasn't sure what was happening. He shifted to the heart jack. South played low from the board and dropped the nine from his hand! West, thinking that he had found the killing defense, continued with the heart two. Declarer took East's queen with his ace, played the heart three to dummy's eight and discarded a club on the heart king. Cool!

“Your K-5 staff is united. None of us are looking forward to (remote learning) but we are ready to give families the very best we can.” Acknowledging the difficulty of remote learning, Armistead explained plans to help ease the burden on families and students. “We have live opportunities for student engagement during (Comprehensive Distance Learning),” she said. “… They are simply opportunities throughout the day for families to connect with staff to get the support they need. If our families need to do CDL at night and need support, I’m available. Our teachers are ready to do that as well to get kids what they need to make this work for them the best they can.” She added beginning Jan. 11, the district is starting limited in-person instruction.

learning needs will be prioritized. “If we’re still in CDL in February, we will expand that offering to the next tier of students because we know that it’s not just students with learning needs that need the opportunity,” she said. “We are already planning for how to expand that should we remain in distance learning.” “…We’re all having to play the game with the worst cards possible,” said Angela Cardas, school board chair. “I will take it Monday by Monday and see how we go. Hopefully (the metrics) will go our way some day.”
Ardiana, who has been with the district for almost six years, said this move is part of his long-term plan and unassociated with the recent upheaval with the district. “It’s a sad day,” he said. “…The main thing is that being in Bandon has been
an outstanding opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children. I appreciate the experience with the school and community. Until my resignation date, I will make this transition as smooth as possible for the district and work diligently to get the best person we can to continue to lead this school.” He presented a proposal from the Oregon School Board Association to aid in the search for his replacement, which he recommended. To have OSBA’s help would cost the district $7,250. “I believe the board will need assistance with this,” Ardiana said. “(OSBA) will help with community meetings and (candidate) screening.” His letter of intent to resign at the end of the school year was passed unanimously. Members of the board expressed their appreciation for Ardiana and thanked him for his efforts. “You will be a hard act to follow,” one board member said.

Blazers add key pieces for NBA title run PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Damian Lillard is going all-in on winning an NBA championship. Portland’s five-time All-Star said he appealed in the offseason to Neil Olshey, the Trail Blazers’ president of basketball operations, for the tools to get there. “Let’s put ourselves out there to do whatever we can do to give ourselves a real shot, let’s try to bring that glory back to Portland,” Lillard said he told Olshey. “You know, it’s been like 50 years. How long has it been since ’77? It has been a long time and I want to be a part of that.” Lillard is heading into his ninth NBA season, all with the Blazers. But Portland has always seemed to miss that final piece that could push the Blazers to a title. The Blazers got closest in the 2018-19 season when they went to the Western Conference Finals but lost to the Warriors in
four games. “I get up every morning and I train my ass off -- take care of my body. I don’t live a wild life. You know a lot of the steps that I take in my life were so I could come out here and be at my best and play at the highest level so that I could win a championship for this organization and for the city,” Lillard said. “So I’ve communicated that to (Olshey), how much it means and what my desire to do that is. And I think he’s doing his best,” he added. “I think he’s really trying to do that, because it means something for him as well.” And indeed, the Blazers made a flurry of moves in the offseason, bringing in Robert Covington, Derrick Jones Jr. and Enes Kanter. They re-signed Carmelo Anthony and Rodney Hood. Covington was expected to start, along with Lillard, CJ McCollum, Jones and Jusuf Nurkic.
A seven-year veteran who played for Minnesota and Houston last season, Covington had 115 steals, ranking third in the league, and 93 blocks while averaging 12.4 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists. His defense will be key to a team that finished 28th in the league in that category last season. Conversely, the Blazers had the league’s third-best offense, thanks in great part to Lillard, who averaged 30 points and eight assists a game last year. ROLE MELO: With Covington and Jones expected to start, at least to begin the season, 10time All-Star Carmelo Anthony will be in a reserve role. Anthony, who was out of the game for almost a year when Portland signed him in November 2019, said he and the Blazers came to a meeting of minds when he re-signed with the team heading into this season.
“It was very straight to the point from my side, and from their side. We were very honest with each other, both parties were very honest, lots of transparency,” Anthony said. “Again it was just coming to an agreement, coming to a mutual agreement about what the situation would be.” In the end, it was about playing basketball, he said. Anthony averaged 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 58 games with the Blazers last season. “We’ve said this before: it’s not who starts, it’s who finishes. I think Melo is in a good place and he understands his role on the team,” coach Terry Stotts said. DAME’S BACKUP: While McCollum will no doubt slide to the point at times when Lillard rests, Anfernee Simons appears poised to take over backup point guard duties.
Simons, just 21, was a firstround draft pick by the Blazers in 2018 out of the IMG Academy in Florida. Last season he averaged 8.3 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists. He has Lillard’s endorsement: “Personally, I believe in Ant.” COVID CASES: The start of Portland’s preseason camp was delayed for two days after there were three positive COVID-19 cases within the organization, including one unidentified player. Portland had to shut down its practice facility for cleaning. RECAPPING LAST SEASON: Among the teams invited to play in the bubble in Florida, the Trail Blazers made it to the NBA playoffs for the seventh straight season but they were knocked out in the first round by the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers in five games. The Blazers finished the coronavirus-shortened regular season 35-39.

Fall soccer season is a bonus JOHN GUNTHER The World
NORTH BEND — For a season that might not have happened, the North Bend and Marshfield girls soccer teams got a lot out of their fall series of matches against each other, what became a prelude to the regular season scheduled to begin with official practices in February. “It was pretty special,” Marshfield coach Pio Figueroa said after their final match. “At first, we didn’t expect it to happen.” But happen it did, and, blessed with amazing weather for November and December, the coaches and players enjoyed the chance to be on the pitch together for practice and their matches, which became incredibly competitive contests compared with past matches between the two programs. “It was great for the kids to be out kicking the ball,” North Bend coach Tony Picatti said. “It gives them the opportunity to be out doing something physical.” And for the two squads, it was a good chance to get experience. “We had a good turnout.” Picatti said. “Everybody is getting an opportunity to play.” In the final post-match meeting, Picatti tried to make sure the players knew how fortunate they were. “This is the best preseason you can have,” he said. “You are playing a team that challenges you.” The last match might have been the best.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Justin Herbert’s brilliant rookie season is now a record-setting campaign. Herbert scored on 1-yard plunge to give the Los Angeles Chargers a 30-27 overtime victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. “It was pretty crazy,” said Herbert, who set an NFL rookie record with his seventh 300-yard game and has 27 passing scores on the year, tying Baker Mayfield (2018) for the most by a rookie in NFL history. “I kind of waited to see the replay and guys didn’t really know what had happened. So I got up and started shaking hands and kind of saw the game was over. The Chargers (5-9) snapped a nine-game losing streak against their AFC West counterparts, and snapped a three-game skid against the Raiders. Las Vegas (7-7) lost quarterback Derek Carr to a left groin injury in the first quarter. It has lost four of five, all but killing its playoff chances. Moments after Daniel Carlson’s 23-yard field goal on the Raiders’ first possession put Las Vegas ahead 27-24, Herbert found wideout Jalen Guyton streaking by cornerback Keisean Nixon for a 53-yard reception to set up the winning score. Los Angeles improved to 1-2 in overtime games, while all four of its games against division foes have come down to the final play. Herbert, who targeted nine receivers and completed at least one pass with seven, was 22 for 32 with 314 yards and two touchdowns. “I’ve seen a lot of growth over the past
couple weeks,” Chargers coach Anthony Lynn said. “He’s doing it with young receivers on the field and spreading the ball around.” With five receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown, Los Angeles’ Hunter Henry now has a career-high 60 receptions on the year, third-highest among tight ends this season. The Chargers got revenge from the first meeting on Nov. 8, when Herbert’s apparent TD pass to Donald Parham was overturned by replay to end the game. For the Raiders, the storyline quickly changed from must-win to stay alive in the playoff hunt, to how to win with backup Marcus Mariota seeing his first action as a Raider, while setting up a showdown of former University of Oregon quarterbacks. “It was a pretty crazy experience,” Herbert said. “I grew up watching Marcus. He was my favorite player. To see him on the field and play against him was really cool. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted.” Just four days after firing defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, plus missing four starters on defense, and having their offensive coordinator Greg Olson sidelined after testing positive for COVID-19, the Raiders lost Carr when he came up lame on a thirddown scramble near the goal line in the first quarter. Carr immediately went to the locker room and did not return. Mariota was poised in his return from the first snap.

Scout earns Eagle badge Dustin Graves-Begay began his journey in scouting as a Cub Scout in Pack 313 in North Bend in 2008. In the Cub Scout program, Dustin earned the Arrow of Light award, Cut Scouting’s highest award. As a Cub Scout he enjoyed several summer day camps at Tugman State Park. He joined Boy Scout Troop 156 in December 2014. Along his Boy Scout journey, Dustin earned a total of 36 merit badges, 15 more than the 21 required to earn the Eagle Scout award. He served in several leadership positions with the troop, including senior patrol leader. He also became involved within the Order of the Arrow, Boy Scouting’s honor society, where he has risen to the position of lodge chief. For his Eagle Scout project, Dustin constructed and installed three park benches along the trail at Eel Lake at Tugman State Park. He was assisted by nine fellow Scouts and 10 other helpers working a total of 400 hours. Dustin will graduate from high school in 2021, and plans on attending Southwestern Oregon Community College, and then Oregon State University to earn a degree in education. The following is a short story explaining what Scouting means to him.
Dustin Graves-Begay What Scouting means to me Twelve years ago, my mother decided to enroll me in Cub Scouting to provide myself with the tools, experiences and role models to fuel my transition into strong adulthood. She was worried that a lack of a father figure in my life would be a detriment to my development, so Scouting would serve as a replacement for what I might have missed. I fully believe that her decision was the most influential to my growth as an individual. I also can say with certainty that the growth as a direct result of Scouting has been the greatest growth I have experienced. Please see Eagle, Page C2

Holiday lights shine in gloomy year By Catherine Walworth Special to The World
What a stinker of a year. A nasty virus came to town, sickened hundreds and threw many more out of work. Even our beloved Shore Acres State Park is dark this year. So, we launched Christmas at the Coast, challenging families and businesses to light up the night. You came through shining brightly. More than 50 Bay Area homeowners and businesses entered the Christmas lighting contest. Countless others, some of them new to holiday lighting, put up displays on their own. The Christmas at the Coast judges were heartened to see what you’ve done. Meet our winners: Roberto Pedrini and Andrea Lobesco won the Best Home trophy for their work at 1522 N. 20th St. in Coos Bay, just off Ocean Boulevard. “I’m all about Christmas lights,” Roberto Pedrini said. But it wasn’t easy to get started this year, because it’s the first year without his dad. “Dad was ‘Mr. Christmas,’ a stubborn, crusty old Italian man until it came to kids and Christmas. Then he was a softie,” Pedrini said. His dad was so excited to spread Christmas cheer that his local power company had to make him stop hanging banners from power poles. Some of the Pedrini decorations came from his father’s collection. “I didn’t want to do it the first couple of days we worked on the decorations,” Pedrini said. “It was a lot on my heart. Then about a quarter of the way through, I got into gear.” Out in the yard, Santa cruises in an old boat – a nod to the family’s love of fishing. Lights are neatly strung from one area to the next. Extension cords are the secret, Pedrini said. “If you put up a lot of lights you have to think about extension cords,” he said. “I probably used about 40 short extension

The Chamber Minute: You can make a difference

I like stories, so let me share a true one with you. Miles Ecker was a normal 9-year-old in many ways. This adventure started in a Cracker Barrel parking lot where, as the family was going into eat, he found a $20 bill. While visions of what he could buy with it were going through his head, a man in an Army uniform came into the restaurant. Miles decided he wanted to give the money to the soldier. So he wrote a note and gave that and the money to him.
Dear Soldier, My dad was a soldier. He is in heaven now. I found this $20 in the parking lot when we got here. We like to pay it forward in my family. It’s your lucky day! Thank you for your service. Miles Ecker, a gold star kid. Miles’ dad was killed in Iraq, during the first year after he was born. After Steve Hartman shared the story on the evening news, many responded to Miles, wanting to give him the $20 back. He instead

expanded my bubble from just my unit, to all of Oregon Trail Council, the other associated councils in my section, and select individuals on a national level. Scouting has also given me countless outlets to serve my community, one of which was through my Eagle Scout project. As a Cub Scout attending day camp at Tugman State Park, I would walk the trails surrounding Eel Lake with my fellow Scouts, and on occasion my mother. I saw an old bench on each of the two trails that were very outdated and needed replacement. Ever since I learned what an Eagle Scout project was the thought of these old benches would enter my mind as a possible project. Once I became a Life Scout and felt I was ready to reach out to the State Park and propose the idea, I was surprised to learn that the project was on their list of needed additions to the park. I took on the project and led my unit in replacing both benches with weatherproofed rosewood benches secured to concrete platforms to ensure longevity. In addition to the two benches, I also constructed a third bench at the start of the left side trail. After the installment of the additional bench, I saw immediate use minutes after and was overjoyed. Scouting has played a big part in my life and I plan to join the role models that accompanied me these past 12 years in the outer edges of the bubble keeping the structure sound and the positive development of youth strong. I want to thank them, my family, and friends for this chapter in my life and I look forward to what is in store for me in the future.

Museum offers local history class in 2021 Coos History Museum is offering a local history class this winter presented by South Coast historian and museum volunteer Steven Greif. The class is titled “Lives of our Days” and will focus on not-so-famous people who once lived on the South Coast. Their “ordinary” lives present a glimpse into the past of our local communities to give us fun examples of how times have changed. Each class also will include a contest called “The Fame Name Game” where a more famous

That $20, Miles found, was converted to a currency called kindness, invested with a stranger and made a difference. What that young man’s actions represent is the something that is special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. We have to be aware of what

Scouting’s mission statement as an organization is to “encourage the physical, intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual development of young people so that they take a constructive place in society as responsible citizens, and as members of their local, national and international communities.” As a result of this program, though, I cannot put into words what the culmination of 12 years of scouting experiences feel like. Scouting to me is a unique program that other youth organizations cannot come close to. To me, scouting creates a positive and constructive social bubble that is placed around the youth in the program. A big part of who we are as people is constructed from who we surround ourselves with. Scouting has benefited me socially more than in other areas. I was deathly afraid of public speaking and general social interaction. Teaching and speaking to crowds is now one of my favorite things to do. Scouting also led me to what I enjoy most in life. Nothing brings me more join than teaching others and seeing the result of the effort they put in. Therefore, I am now focusing my efforts on school with the end goal of pursuing a career in education. As of 2020, I am serving my second term as lodge chief of Oregon Trail Council’s branch of Scouting’s National Honor Society, the Order of the Arrow. This makes me one of the eight individuals that have been elected twice in Tsiqan’s 76-year history. The Order of the Arrow

Coos Bay City Council spreads holiday cheer Departments thanked for their work this year By Jillian Ward For The World
COOS BAY ─ Carolers spotted in city offices this week were members of the Coos Bay City Council.
The council delivered trays of candy and sweets to departments throughout the city, thanking individuals for their hard work over the past year. “I decided that we should thank the staff for the good work they’ve done for us as a council,” said Mayor Joe Benetti as he stood outside of the Coos Bay
Fire Hall, the council’s first stop on Monday morning. “I corroborated with the rest of the council, they thought it was a great idea … and (we) created these trays.” He pointed out that the caroling was Councilwoman Lucinda DiNovo’s idea. DiNovo said this is not the first year the council
has thanked city departments, but that last year “we gave cookies” while “this year we made them.” The trays were delivered to not just the Coos Bay Fire Hall, but the Coos Bay Police Department, Finance and Public Works departments, as well as the Coos Bay Library. “Happy holidays to everyone,” Benetti said.

Coastline libraries eliminate late fees Customers who don’t return items that are overdue won’t be able to check anything else out Coastline Libraries are happy to announce they are going fine free. Libraries are no longer going to charge late fines on any library materials, and all past overdue fines have been forgiven. The library boards of all Coastline Consortium libraries have agreed to do the same, so no items you check out from our Coos & Curry Counties library system will ever have late fines. Libraries have historically used daily overdue fines to encourage patrons to return their items on time. But you may be surprised to learn the data shows the system does not work. Many libraries in the U.S. have eliminated overdue fines over the last several years, and the numbers show late fines have no impact on return rates. In practice, the impact of overdue fines is actually a negative one — it prevents the most vulnerable populations from being able to use the library.
For those with a steady income, a late fine may be inconsequential. But for many patrons, a small late fine can result in having to choose between paying a library fine and buying gas or food. And because late fines account for less that 2% of library income, the hardships they cause are simply not worth the cost. However, the elimination of late fines does not mean you can keep library materials as long as you want. There are still firm due dates, and if you don’t return an item in a timely manner you will be charged the full replacement cost. Additionally, if you have an item one week overdue, you will be unable to check out anything else until that item is returned or paid for. If you want to keep using the library, you still need to return your items on time. So, if you haven’t visited the library because of old late fines, welcome back. All is forgiven. If you lost library materials and were charged for them, those fees will still be on your account. But if you can return the items, in good condition, libraries may work with you to clear your account. For information, call your local Coastline Library.

This week in Coos County history: December 16-19 100 YEARS — 1920 Christmas tree demand big; Coos County has an abundance Annually great numbers of the trees are used and some years large shipments have been sent from this locality to markets of big cities The sale of Christmas trees each year is quite an industry in the United States as several millions of the trees are used during the holidays every year. Of course if one lives where he can go out and cut down a tree himself as can be done here, it is not necessary to buy, but most people must go to the market and purchase the tree. Coos county supply Gathering and selling of Christmas trees is a business which is necessarily limited to only certain localities and Coos County is one place where they can be secured in large numbers. The Douglas fir which can be found in all sizes makes a beautiful Christmas tree. This year it appears that no one is specializing in this business but often in the past Christmas trees have been sent out of this locality in large numbers. They can be shipped to San Francisco on steamers on top of a deckload of lumber and sell for sufficient to make very nice returns for the one who gathers them and are of course of a size which is in no other way marketable.
242,000,000 feet of lumber cut by Coos Bay mills in 1920 Production of plants of this locality has been large during past 12 months — veneer and shingle factories added to output of the lumber mills The mills of Coos Bay alone, exclusive of the plants of the Coquille valley
section, have manufactured during 1920 a grand total of over 242,000,000 feet of lumber in various forms. The lumber mills have cut according to the estimates given 235,070,000 feet and in addition a total of 7,000,000 feet has been cut into veneer or box shooks by three veneer plants
50 YEARS — 1970 Lee promoted to new police chief in NB New North Bend police chief is Walter S. “Wally” Lee, 39, captain in the city’s police department since 1966, who has worked for North Bend the past seven years. He fills the post formerly held by Tony Zarbano who was elected Coos County sheriff in November. The appointment was announced Tuesday afternoon by City Administrator Jack Isadore. Lee is serving as acting police chief during the remainder of December while Zarbano is on two weeks vacation. He will assume full duties of police chief Jan. 1, Isadore said. Lee told The World, “I am very gratified for the opportunity to serve in this capacity. I lay a lot of credit to Chief Zarbano for his encouragement. The policies of the department will remain the same with the primary goal being service to the community.”
Offers of help come to Coos Head store “I was still half asleep when the phone rang and a friend’s voice was telling me the store was a complete loss. I remember thinking that’s it. The store’s gone and that’s it.” Bob Henderson ran the Coos Head Family Store. He was talking about
Wednesday morning’s fire which flashed through the store, O’Sullivan’s Restaurant, and the Broadway hotel above, claiming a man’s life in the hotel. “My first thought was about the 20 or so local artists and crafts people who had pottery, leather work, paintings and other craftswork in that store,” recalled Henderson. “I didn’t learn about the death until later.” “It was depressing and hard to believe that the store was gone,” he added. “Radio station KYNG, and some students at both Marshfield and Southwestern Oregon Community College offered to stage benefit dances to help reopen the store.”
20 YEARS — 2000 Cycle shop turns into Santa’s workshop With the numerous bicycles, skateboards and toys, the front lobby of Coos Cycle Supply looks like a mini version of Santa Claus’ workshop these days. Walt and Sandy Evans, the owners of the store located at 995 S. Second St. in Coos Bay, have been collecting donations and toys for the past few weeks for the Andy Proctor Memorial Toy Run on Sunday. The toy run, sponsored by the South Coast ABATE chapter, will begin at 11 a.m. at Gino’s Pizza in North Bend. “He was jumping up and down like a kid on Christmas morning when people began bringing money and toys in,” said Sandy, nodding at her husband who was leaning against the counter. So far, the Evans have collected $1,385 in cash and have used it to purchase toys for the memorial run. A majority of the money came from fishermen in Charleston, Walt said.
“These are people who wouldn’t have necessarily went out and bought toys to donate to the toy run,” Walt said. “But they gave us money to do that for them.”
Coquille takes two titles at Classic Wrestling: Granger brothers each win weight classes for Red Devils Some local wrestlers proved that they belong among the some of the best in the state. The 18th annual Coast Classic, a 27team tournament held at North Bend High School, wrapped up on Saturday as more than 500 wrestlers were narrowed down to 14 weight-bracket champions. In the end, it was a battle of Class 4A powers to decide the highest team score. Crook County won two weight classes (125 and 140) in its way to first place in the team standings with 227 points. Newberg followed with three individual champions and 219.5 points, while Eagle Point finished with 188.5 points. The top showing for a South Coast school was Coquille, which was led by the brother tandem of James and David Granger. James, a freshman, took the 103-pound class with an impressive win in the championship — 10-2 against Luke Waetjen of Crook County. Older brother David, a junior, added a second individual title at 119 pounds for the family minutes later with a pin against Roseburg’s John Peckham in 27 seconds. The elder Granger’s pin was by far the quickest, and just one of two, in the championship round. These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.
