Clerk: Voter fraud not possible in Coos County

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Despite claims by some alleging voter fraud in Coos County, that simply isn't possible, Coos County Clerk Dede Murphy said.

During a recent meeting with the League of Women Voters, Murphy explained the process of sending out ballots, receiving ballots and counting ballots.

"There is no way there can be any voter fraud in our system," Murphy said. "The tabulators are not connected to any Internet.

Somebody would have to put something in the computer itself. We have locks on all our USB ports so

that can't happen. The positions on the ballots are always random, so nobody knows ahead of time what candidate is going to be in what position ahead of time."

During the meeting, Murphy explained the process Coos County goes to ensure the candidates voters choose are the ones that win elections.

"We have a very, very good procedure that works well in the state of Oregon and in Coos County, I know specifically," Murphy said.

"We have a process that all the ballots are received. We have two different working rooms. We will have observers in there and we invite observers to come and watch."

Currently, there is only room for three observers, and the county creates a schedule to make sure anyone who is interested can come and watch.

In one room, workers verify signatures on the ballots. Each ballot that is received is looked at to verify the signature on the envelope matches the signature from the voter registration card. If the signatures do not match or if an envelope is not signed, the ballot is set aside and not opened.

Only room for 3 observers.

"We have procedures for all these things," Murphy said. "Once everything is balanced, they go to the back room where we have room

for two observers. All the ballots are opened up there."

In that room, two workers are at a table. One person opens the envelope, takes the ballot our and sets the ballot face down on the table.

That is done so when the ballot is handed to the second person, it can never be linked to who cast it.

"We have to have the same number of envelopes as we do ballots," Murphy said. "The person that has the envelope will count those and the person who has the ballot will count those. If they don't match, we count again. Everything is accounted for. They have to match."

The ballots are then taken to a tabulator, where a computer counts

the results. If the computer spots an error, two election workers then try to decide the intent of the voter. The ballots, called adjudicated ballots, accounted for 6% of ballots in the May election.

"Most of the time, it's a matter of someone marking out one oval and filling in another or they had not marked any oval," Murphy said.

"They only thing I can say is why there was more adjudicated ballots is the voters make mistakes. There's nothing we can do. It comes up when there's more marks on the ballots."

If the two workers cannot decide on voter intent, only then is the Please see ELECTION, Page A4

Bandon neighborhood 'in turmoil' over critical dog attack City council discusses issue with residents

be aware of their surroundings.

“We all live on the coast, so we should all look at the tsunami inundation zone maps,” Ward said. “If you live in the tsunami inundation zone or work within it, be aware of where the assembly zones are and what your evacuation route would be so you aren’t trying to figure it out after an earthquake.”

“The other part is looking at, ‘Where do you travel within your day?’” Mueller added. “If you go to another town to go shopping, have you looked at that town to see where you would need to go?”

Ward said there is a tsunami app

Two recent dog attacks spurred a Bandon City Council discussion with many members of the audience participating at the Oct. 3 city meeting.

“There have been two recent incidents where larger dogs running loose have attacked and seriously injured or killed small dogs. In some cases – or actually both of the latest cases – the owners have been bitten trying to protect their pets,” said Bandon Mayor Mary Schamehorn.

While the City of Bandon has several provisions that address nuisance dogs and dog attacks, the latest attack spurred an outcry because the dog owner and neighbors who witnessed the event reportedly called 911 but no response came until the following day.

“What happened that night – and the neighbors who saw it or were part of it are here – they called 911 expecting it was the Bandon Police that would be dispatched. The whole neighborhood was in turmoil over what had happened.

The little dog was critically injured and died the next day,” Mayor Schamehorn said.

“They thought the Bandon police would come or that someone would

While much of their work is done behind the scenes, Curry County Emergency Coordinator Monica Ward, Coos County emergency coordinator Debbie Mueller, along with Coos County Emergency Manager Don (Chip) Delyria want the public to know they are doing their best to prepare county staff, emergency responders and other community stakeholders to respond effectively in an emergency situation such as a tsunami or earthquake.

Coos and Curry Counties prepare for worst-case disaster scenario

By BREEANA LAUGHLIN The World

Coos and Curry County emergency managers teamed up to prepare for a worst-case natural disaster situation. Together, they completed a series of exercises designed to respond to an earthquake and tsunami caused from a rupture in the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

The series of exercises started at the beginning of summer. Now, the emergency coordinators are strengthening their training efforts, solidifying management roles and educating themselves about incident command systems.

They also want to get the word out to the public to be prepared

in the event of an emergency situation.

“Part of our job from the emergency management side is educating our community and making sure it is clear for residents – and visitors to our area – that this is something they should be thinking about,” said Coos County Emergency Coordinator Debbie Mueller.

While natural disasters and other potential hazards are not something people necessarily enjoy thinking about, emergency preparedness is an important aspect of living on the coast.

“I think being in rural communities, our message to the public is it’s very important to prepare as best you can, and take self-action, be-

cause it’s going to be awhile before others are going to be able to get to us and help us,” Mueller said.

Curry County Emergency Coordinator Monica Ward encourages community members to prepare what they can for supplies.

“We would love to see people have four-weeks worth of resources and supplies – but at the same time we understand, especially in today’s economy, it’s difficult.

The “Are you ready?” guide book available to the public outlines emergency preparedness plans. It includes a 20-week calendar to buy emergency supplies incrementally over time, Ward said.

The emergency coordinators also encourage residents and visitors to

Wright, Rust face off in debate

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The two candidates vying for a seat in the Oregon House of Representatives faced off in a debate Monday, with Jerry Rust and Boomer Wright discussing a variety of topics important to the coastal district.

The mostly-friendly contest

had a few moments of true debate, where the men shared different views on abortion and Measure 113, which would allow the Legislature to punish lawmakers who walk out of session to stop bills from being enacted.

The debate was hosted by the League of Women Voters in Lane and Coos counties as well as libraries in both counties. Judge Richard

available that outlines what tsunami zones look like and where the assembly areas are located. The app can also alert users if a large earthquake overseas poses a tsunami threat.

Thinking about earthquakes, tsunamis and other disasters can be scary or unpleasant to think about.

But taking the time to do this can increase your odds of survival.

“You don’t have to be afraid of something if you have stopped and thought about it and paid attention to how you might respond,” Mueller said.

While much of their work is done behind the scenes, Curry County Emergency Coordinator Ward, Coos County emergency coordinator Mueller, along with Coos Emergency Manager Don (Chip) Delyria want the public to know they are doing their best to prepare county staff, emergency responders

Debate From A1

"I think these life experiences have prepared me for this challenge," Rust said.

"Today, I'm asking you to hire me. If you're a voter in the 9th District, I want to be your employee. People are tired of squabbling and intra-party fighting. They want to get things done. They want people to work together. There's a tremendous pent up desire to do something.

Specifically, they want more housing, more affordable housing. I have a plan to get that done.

Wright, the incumbent Republican, said he has accomplished a lot during his one term. He said he brought $16 million to the Port of Coos Bay along with funding in North Bend, Reedsport and much more.

"My focus is always on family, faith and freedom," Wright said. "We've done a lot together and have been very successful. We advocate for a limited government. We believe all children deserve access to a quality education.

Parental rights don't end at the school house door. We believe families and individuals have the sole responsibility and right to make their own healthcare decisions. All law abiding residents have the

and other community stakeholders to respond effectively in an emergency situation such as a tsunami or earthquake.

It is not a small task.

Ward said she wanted to focus on reestablishing ports in the event of a tsunami to in order receive emergency supplies, while Mueller said her focus has been on staffing positions and establishing what trainings are needed.

Ward said the emergency exercises she took part in earlier this year was the first time Curry County came together to discuss what the different county roles would be.

“When you have an emergency the first thing you do is set up an incident command post,” she said.

“They are your first responders who are down on the scene tactically responding to the emergency itself.

The Emergency Operations Center is your county-level strategic support to the incident command.”

The emergency coordinators said all the different agencies involved

right to keep and bear arms."

In questioning, the men outlined their priorities if elected to the Legislature. For Rust, those priorities would be seniors, veterans, children and women's healthcare.

"Those are just generally across the board," Rust said.

"I think older people haver worked all their lives. We need to keep seniors in their home. Veterans have paid a price. I think veterans deserve our support, I think women should be able to make their own decisions about their own healthcare choices and I believe my opponent does not believe that."

Wright listed his top priorities as crime, healthcare and education "We have defunded the police, and we need to return funding to that and to our court systems," Wright said.

"Homelessnesses is the other one and I'm working with groups down in Coos Bay to come up with a plan.

Education, I served in education over 31 years. We're not serving out students right now. In fact, we're failing our students. Parents need choice."

When education was discussed, the two men disagreed on whether the state is failing our children.

"Let's not be too hard on ourselves," Rust said. "I hear everybody say our kids aren't

in the response need to be able to speak a common language so there exists an inter-operability between everyone coming to the response.

“In Curry County our EOC is made up our sheriff’s department, our road department and our fire department. They all speak different ‘languages’ but the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS) require them to understand and use the same terms,” Ward said.

Coos County emergency coordinator Mueller said there are maps available to help guide managers as to what areas would be the most affected by an earthquake and tsunami on the South Coast.

“They can help us in planning for if we are trying to shelter people or get food to them,” she said.

A major earthquake and tsunami would likely create “islands.” These pockets of land and populations would be cut off from external resources.

“It’s not going to be easy to get

getting an education. That's not true. Yeah, there are challenges. We lost two and half years to COVID. What I want is the basics, reading, writing mathematics. I do think we could include some vocational training in our schools. There needs to be some skill building at the high school level. I reject the idea that we're failing."

Wright saw things a little differently.

"Serving on the state education and early childhood education committees, I view the real problem is we've asked our teachers to be all things to all students at all times." he said. "We've asked our teachers to do too much.

Many of our students are failing, but more important, we're failing our students. We must return to a community direction. It does take an entire community to support the education of our students.

Each community is well aware of what the needs are for workforce and retention of our youth."

Both men said they would be interested in an independent redistricting committee taking on the challenge of drawing the state's legislative districts.

"Absolutely," Wright said. "It's we the people who should determine where the districts are, not a group of people in Salem and the ger-

from one island to the next,” Mueller said.

The emergency coordinator tasked her team look at each island and decide where to put resource caches.

“The reason I wanted to focus on this is because it would open their eyes as to all the obstacles we were going to have to overcome,” she said.

The very first thing every person involved in the exercises did was look at where their home was on these maps.

“Being on a coastal community we should all know,” Mueller said.

“It was eye opening to them.”

The Coos and Curry County emergency management coordinators said they are planning to collaborate as partners for additional emergency exercises being held in June, 2023.

They said the partnership has been beneficial to pool resources, learn about what each community has to offer in terms of strengths

rymandering that happened this last session. It should not be political gerrymandering.

It should be to represent the people. To be honest, the Legislature failed us."

"This is a national problem and it's a disgrace the way we have drawn districts throughout the country and in some states much worse than here," Rust said. "I would like to take a look at an independent commission.

I'm against the gerrymandering. I will say one thing. This District 9 has a lot of logic.

Let's make it nonpartisan.

Let's do things right that the people can accept."

Another topic discussed was the decline of coastal fisheries, which has had a big economic and social impact on District 9.

"It's very complex issues, and I know we have ocean conditions that are the result of very complex factors," Rust said. "It starts at the headwaters, where we have taken out fish runs and we haven't put the spawning beds back in good shape.

One of the things I want to do is make sure to continue removing these culverts.

We've done the easy ones.

There's got to be room for some fish hatchery work.

I would work with Tribes, our local watershed council.

I want to support all those

groups."

"Our salmon fisheries are definitely in decline," Wright said. "We need abundance through hatcheries, not an ODF commission that does not support abundance. We do not need another spotted owl fiasco. We on the coast are still recovering from this environmental injustice and insanity. Fortunately, working with the Coquille Tribe, we're working with the ODF to bring back our salmon runs.

We need a new direction."

The partisan divide in Salem and the state was also addressed.

"The key is we've got to learn to listen to one another," Wright said. "What happens is we listen, but we don't hear. We don't sit down and communicate. When we don't do that and we don't listen to one another, we have things like what is happening in Portland right now with the crime and violence. We are not listening. We need to listen to one another."

"This is something I've heard everywhere I've gone in the district," Rust said.

"People are sick of the bickering. As Lane County commissioner, everything I got done, I did that with Democrats, Republicans and Independents. I'm not one for rancorous name calling and blaming state agencies

and weaknesses and how they can help each other.

It can also be beneficial in applying for grant funding, they said.

“We also lean on each other and provide coverage for each other because we are two small counties.

We bring different perspectives so we keep each other from getting tunnel vision and can provide advice and feedback to each other as well,” Ward said.

A lot of the work of emergency managers tasks require behind the scenes planning and preparation.

“Even with the exercises we are doing now the public didn’t get to see much, but they should know that we are doing our best to identify our capabilities and our gaps and to correct any weaknesses throughout our counties,” Ward said.

and blaming other people in government. In general, we need to bring the temperature down, sit together, reason together and come together as a state."

Whether that means one party can walk out to stop legislation is something the men disagreed on. When discussing Measure 13, the differences were clear.

"Of course, I'm going to vote for it and I do think there should be punishment," Rust said. "If you get elected to go to Salem and to vote, you're taking care of the most vital interests of people. I think ordinary people, if they don't show up for work, they don't get paid. If they do it again, they eventually lose their job."

"There's something to be said about believing you have the right to protest," Wright said. "At some times, because you have a super majority, they don't leave you choice. They are ramming down their liberal agenda on people and they don't leave you a choice but to walk away. We have a right to protest majority rule legislation when it is not in the interest of our district.

We're not in grade school, Jerry, we're adults."

Another area the men agreed on was lowering the cost of attending college in Oregon.

"In general, I support lowering tuition," Rust said.

"I look back at my own college education and it was so inexpensive. Let's bring it down for in-state students.

We might even want to have a means test. Some students can afford it more than others. I also support expanding the offering in community colleges. I'd look at the whole gamut."

"I agree we've got to lower the price of education," Wright said. "I don't believe it can ever be absolutely free, and that's too bad. I believe we're not utilizing our community colleges as much as we should. They're much more affordable, especially in rural districts. I believe we need to reduce tuitions."

Voters in District 9, which includes parts of Coos, Douglas and Lane counties will choose their representative in the November election. The district is considered a toss-up district, which has elected Republicans and Democrats in recent years.

OBITUARIES

Lorna Ann Salt

Darcell “Darcey” Moser

October 9, 1931 – September 29, 2022

Lorna Ann Salt passed away peacefully at her home in Bandon, Oregon, on September 29, 2022 surrounded by family and friends. She was 90 years old. Lorna was a very dynamic individual throughout her life and she will be missed by many.

Lorna was born on October 9, 1931, in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was the youngest child of Cris and Gwen Woodle who also had two other daughters, Virginia, who passed away shortly after her birth in 1924 and Lois, who passed away in January this year. The Woodle girls were raised in a family characterized by hard work and community service. Gwen served for many years in the Young Women’s programs of the LDS church. Cris, despite having no sons of his own, organized and ran The Yale Athletic Club for boys in the neighborhood. The club focused on baseball and clean living, with Gwen serving as team mom, and Lorna serving as scorekeeper at games managed by Cris. During the off-season, the club was a social vehicle for the boys who often came to the Woodle home to play card games with Cris and Gwen, and Lorna played right along with them, developing game skills she enjoyed throughout her life.

Upon graduating from high school, Lorna began her collegiate studies at the University of Utah. A chance encounter at the university library led to romance, and in June of 1950, she married her long time husband, Charles Salt in the iconic Salt Lake LDS temple. Lorna dropped out of college to support Chuck’s pursuit of a Bachelor’s degree, but she would eventually resume her college studies to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in theater and communications from what is now known as Southern Oregon University. While still living in Salt Lake City, Chuck and Lorna became first time parents with the arrival of Stephen in August, 1951.

In 1953, the family moved from Salt Lake City to Portland, Oregon, and Chuck and Lorna would remain Oregon residents for the rest of their lives. While living in Portland, Lorna continued to work to support the family, and she and Chuck brought two more children into the world: Kenneth in 1956 and Jeffrey in 1959.

Not long after Jeffrey’s birth, the family moved to Albany, Oregon, where Lorna found work with the U.S. Bureau of Mines. She served as the Ward Relief Society President, served in several other church callings, and assisted the youth in the “road shows” that were put on each year. Compassionate service to ward members in need was a big part of Lorna’s time in Albany.

Another work transfer for Chuck would take the family to Keizer, Oregon,

THE WORLD

and Lorna transferred from the Bureau of Mines to begin her decades-long career with the Social Security Administration as a claims representative. Because of the extensive knowledge she developed over time in the SSA, she became the person you wanted to take your calls if there was any question about your potential retirement or disability benefits. While living in Keizer, Lorna resumed her collegiate studies and expanded her interest in theater arts. She served as the Salem Stake Drama Director for several years, and she studied nights and weekends at Willamette University thanks to a grant from the SSA. Another work-related transfer brought the family to Medford, where Lorna continued her work with the SSA and finally achieve her BA degree. Additionally, she volunteered frequently at Ashland’s renowned Shakespearean Festival.

Another work-related transfer would bring Chuck and Lorna to reside in Bandon while Chuck worked in Port Orford and Lorna worked at the SSA office in Coos Bay. Perhaps the biggest chapters of Chuck’s and Lorna’s lives were written in Bandon. After Chuck’s retirement from what had become The First Interstate Bank, they bought Bandon’s Coast to Coast Hardware Store franchise and began their long association with that company. Lorna was not yet qualified to retire from the SSA, so her involvement in the store was after hours and on weekends. But work and the store were only part of their busy lives. During their time in Bandon, both Lorna and Chuck became deeply involved in community service organizations, Lorna with the Bandon Kiwanis Club and Chuck with the Bandon Rotary Club. Lorna was the Bandon Kiwanis Club President for several years and was instrumental in the success of the many Kiwanis Kids programs and the thrift store associated with the Bandon club. Lorna continued her theatrical work with her tireless involvement with the Bandon Playhouse.

She directed several musical productions including “The Sound of Music” (1986), “Cabaret Internationale” (1988), “My Fair Lady” (1989), “Carousel” (1991), and “Miracle on 11th Street” (2002). She served on the Bandon Playhouse board for several years, including time as board president. In addition, she was instrumental in the conception, design and fundraising efforts for the construction of Bandon’s Sprague Community Theater. She and Chuck were also benefactors of the new community library that was built adjacent to the theater. Within the theater and the library, Chuck and Lorna’s support can be found in the form of bricks on the walkway, seats in the theater,

a ticket office named after them, and a reading room in the library also named after them. Chuck and Lorna also sponsored Bandon’s Elizabeth Simmons in her beauty pageant bid, and saw her achieve the title of Miss Oregon and finish as 3rd runner-up in the national Miss America pageant. Lorna was also instrumental in raising funds and establishing the Bandon Community Youth Center, and often volunteered there. And in addition to these community service efforts, Lorna continued to be active in her LDS faith, serving in various callings in the Bandon branch, including serving as the branch’s Relief Society President.

Lorna was preceded in death by her parents, Cris and Gwen Woodle; her sisters, Gwen Virginia Woodle and Lois Verla Peacock; her brother-in-law, Edwin Salt and her sister-in-law, Leona Potter. She is survived by her husband of 72 years, Charles Salt; by her three sons, Stephen (Barbara), Kenneth (Kestin) and Jeffrey Salt; by 11 grandchildren, Sarah, Matthew, Adam, Nathan, Andrew, Kimberly, Lidianna, Jared, Kya, River and Autumn; by 13 great grandchildren; and by her devoted niece, Julie Peacock.

Lorna’s memorial arrangements are being handled by Nelson’s Bay Area Mortuary in Coos Bay. Her memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 8, 2022 at 11:00 AM at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 950 Delaware Avenue Southeast in Bandon, Oregon. A viewing will be held at that location starting at 10:30 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you consider donating to the Bandon Playhouse (a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization). You can send donations by check to Bandon Playhouse, P.O. Box 1047, Bandon, Oregon 97411.

Marine toxin closes all razor clamming in Oregon coastwide

The Oregon Department of Agriculture and ODFW closed all razor clam harvesting from the Washington border to the California border. Recent lab results indicate the marine biotoxin domoic acid exceeded the closure limit along the entire Oregon coast.

Mussel harvesting remains closed from the Columbia River to the north side of the Yachats River for elevated levels of paralytic shellfish poison, a marine biotoxin. Mussel harvesting remains open from the south side of the Yachats River to the California border.

Recreational bay clam and crab harvesting remain open along the entire Oregon coast.

ODA will continue testing for shellfish toxins twice per month as tides and weather permit. Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit. Both domoic acid and paralytic shellfish toxin are

produced by naturally occurring algae and originate in the ocean.

For more information call ODA's shellfish biotoxin safety hotline at (800) 448-2474, the Food Safety Division at (503) 986-4720, or visit the ODA Shellfish Biotoxin Closures webpage.

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

both still grieving. However, it almost feels like he is trying to push me away.

I do my best to reassure him every day that we will get through this together, and I try my hardest to make sure he knows how loved he is.

I'm also working on acknowledging that his healing path will be different from mine. I give him space and have assumed more household duties to take some pressure off him.

None of it seems to make a difference.

I'm struggling with how to address my concerns about us coming apart at the seams while still allowing him his space to heal. I also struggle with giving him advice when he asks for it. Because I had to physically go through it, my reactions and methods of healing are substantially different than his. That said, I don't want to minimize his grief or feelings when we talk. What more can I do?

-- GOING FORWARD IN WASHINGTON DEAR GOING FORWARD: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your pregnancy, which has been traumatic for both you and your partner. I agree that couples don't necessarily grieve in unison, if that's what's going on. Because you have been doing everything you can to lighten the load on

anything. When I tell friends I want to relocate, they always remind me that it's expensive and advise me not to do it.

Abby, it's expensive living where I am now.

I thought I'd just take a chance and see if I can get a job right away in a new area. What do you think? I'm depressed and despondent all the time. I feel like I have absolutely nothing to look forward to. I think I could have a chance of finding work somewhere else. Could you please advise me? -- DISPLACED IN ARIZONA DEAR DISPLACED: Boredom and depression are not the same. If you feel you have nothing meaningful to do, first explore what is available in the city in which you live. If you are depressed, discuss it with a physician to see if some sessions with a psychologist or medication would help. I caution you against moving to a new community with no emotional support system in place, hoping you can find employment.

You could wind up more depressed and despondent than you already are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com.

My Turn

It is my time to move on

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Just over 30 years ago, I was sitting in a hotel room in Sierra Vista, Az., having spent almost every penny I had to rent the room for a month, when I had a knock on the door.

I ended up in Sierra Vista after a particularly trying time in my life. I had recently left college, gone through some turmoil and drove to what I considered my hometown with almost nothing.

All I had were good friends and hope. And then came the knock on the door.

I had only been in town one night and very few people knew where I was, but when I opened the door a friend from high school was standing there with a copy of the Sierra Vista Herald. Maria knew I had written a lot in high school and had studied journalism in college, so when she saw a help wanted ad for a sports reporter for the Herald, she went out of her way to find me.

That day, I went to the Sierra Vista Herald office, filled out a paper application and interviewed with the sports editor. The next day, I was a sports reporter, starting a journey that has taken me halfway around the country, allowed me to see things I never imagined and meet people I never dreamed of.

As a side note, two days after Maria knocked on my door, my best friend came over with his girlfriend and her sister. That sister has now been my wife for 27 years. So if you are down or struggling, you never know how much things can change in just a few days.

As a sports reporter, I felt like I was living a dream. I was getting paid $1,000 a month to watch and report on sports. I felt like the luckiest guy alive.

That feeling has been matched over and over and over for the last 30 years.

During my time in community newspapers in Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, North Dakota and Oregon, I have been disappointed time after time as I watched talented reporters and editors leave the industry for other opportunities. Most recently, Jerry Burnes, who I hired as a reporter in Williston, N.D., and who went on to become an editor of a group of papers in Minnesota left the news-

An Observation

According to court documents, the defendant is alleged to have twice assaulted a man because he was a volunteer reproductive health care clinic escort.

I had the privilege to volunteer to be an observer of our 2020 primary election in Coos County. As I sat and watched our democracy in action, I was proud to be there. The professionalism, dedication and transparency were evident for all to see, if you’d been there. I previously submitted a letter expressing my gratitude for the patriotic service of our county staff and volunteer workers to all of us.

The purpose of this Letter to the Editor is that there is reason to be wary of the motivation behind this “lawsuit” recently filed by Pam Lewis and Diane Rich. My hope is that their intent isn’t as appalling as the misrepresentation of the English language displayed in the recent article published in this newspaper without a byline. Perhaps that omission is self-serving but from my perspective on the wrestling mat, win or lose, competitors always shook hands not only with their opponent, but with their opponent’s coaches as well.

They faced each other. Think about that for a moment, please.

I have taught English for decades. Students were required to put their names on all their writing submissions and be responsible to proof-read and edit their work for correct spellings as well as proper word usage. Yes, I am deliberately not using written language verbiage so that I may be abundantly clear to all who are reading this.

Furthermore, in my classroom, name calling was never tolerated and it is extraordinary that it is now permissible and some may say even encouraged in the political arena, on our streets and sadly within our own families and faiths.

During COVID, I did three things: Read the Ten Commandments every day, read the United States Constitution for the first time, and returned to the work force with the United States Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency to assist Coos and Curry livestock and agricultural producers and the timber and seafood industries through various programs available to survive the pandemic.

In my opinion, our world is not about self-service, but about our opportunities to be of service.

Laurie Powrie Myrtle Point

Search and destroy The Search and Destroy Party is active in Coos County. A deep pockets political backer has no doubt paid for the rural law offices of Tyler Smith of Canby, to go after our tax money because two wannabe county clerks didn’t get the job. The World article didn’t mention if there was merit to the ballot scanning charges and there was no byline. Why? Pam Lewis and Diane Rich are going after our hardearned tax money, just two more Republican-Trumpers having a temper tantrum. Hardly a day passes without a loser Trumper trying to destroy the government one way or another. I’ve paid property taxes for many years in Coos County and I thoroughly resent frivolous lawsuits like this. Ex Pres. Trump’s 60 lawsuits falsely claiming 2020 election rigging all came to nothing. Only the attorneys gained from those lawsuits and it cost taxpayers plenty in several states.

Rod Taylor, who is running for Commissioner Cribbins’s seat, has ranted about the adjudication rates before. I suspect a conspiracy, a Trumpian temper tantrum typical of playground bullies. If they can’t win, they’ll steal your bat or destroy your football. Sincere, qualified job applicants who don’t get the job they want will look for another job, instead of suing.

Candidates who lose an election will get on with their lives, not incite storming the capitol. This out-of-town rural attorney advertises he can get certain administration laws changed or even overturned in court when appropriate, a political version of an ambulance chaser. And our tax dollars are paying for this nonsense.

Sharon Ramirez North Bend

What's the Plan Rodney?

Don't take the chance

Rod Taylor wants more jail beds but doesn't support the levy that will make that happen. Taylor supports a new shipping container facility but doesn't support accepting federal dollars in order to see it through. So, I ask what's the plan?

The reality seems to be: there is no plan. Taylor may well be charming and charismatic, using popular buzz words like "liberty" and "local control," but when it comes to actually running Coos County he is not qualified. He is not qualified because it is clear he doesn't respect how our system of government nor has a plan to replace it should he succeed.

Our Founding Fathers, like Hamilton and Washington, fought for a federal system where the local government is aided by the federal government. Yes, local control is important, but without the help of the federal government, no shipping container facility will come, no offshore wind farm will be built, no grant money to revitalize our town and schools will be given.

Our beloved Coos County will suffer if Taylor gets his wish of "no-strings attached." By some conservative estimates, since 2016, Coos County has received close to $98 million in federal dollars, under both Republican and Democratic presidents. So what’s the plan? How does Taylor propose to replace $98 million in federal funds? The reality is he can’t and even if he could, he has yet to tell us how he will.

A vote for Rod Taylor this November is a vote against Coos County.

Vote Melissa Cribbins for County Commissioner.

Addie Hutchinson Coos Bay

We have a January 6th insurrectionist running for Coos County Commissioner. His name is Rod Taylor. Does Coos County want to embarrass itself by electing such an individual to public office? I think not.

As the January 6th committee and the Department of Justice continue gathering evidence, it is becoming more and more obvious every day that our former President, certain right wing extremist groups and even some elected Republicans, attempted a coup de etat. Thank God it failed.

Mr. Taylor may have had nothing to do with planning the insurrection. I’m willing to take him at his word that he didn’t. However, at the very least, he was an unwitting dupe of those who did and I don’t want an unwitting dupe sitting on the County Commission.

In addition, if he is ultimately charged and convicted of insurrectionary activity, he would no longer be allowed to serve as a commissioner as Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution would prohibit him from doing so. In fact, recently a county commissioner from New Mexico who led a group called “Cowboys for Trump” was just removed from office for his activities on January 6th. Coos County should not take any chances of that happening here.

Our current County Commissioners, Melissa Cribbins, John Sweet and Bob Main work well together and I don’t see any reason to change things at this time. That’s why I’ll be voting for Ms. Cribbins in November.

50 YEARS — 1972 ‘Pre’ ran for gold Saturday night’s testimonial dinner for Steve Prefontaine was exactly as it should have been … low key, with the opportunity for the people of Coos Bay to say “thanks for a job well done,” and for Steve to replay in kind,

“thanks for your support.”

The Coos Bay Quarterback-sponsored event at the Timber Inn drew 120 persons who came to pay their respects to the young man who represented the United States in the recent Olympic Games.

“I went to Munich not to run for a silver medal, not for a bronze, but for a gold medal,” the 21-year-old University of Oregon senior explained solemnly.

Because he ran for a gold medal, he didn’t win any medal at all in Munich, instead finishing fourth against the best competition in the world for 5,000 meters.

“Those guys over there have a few tricks up their sleeves …

I thought I had a few, but they really had ‘em,” Steve said in telling his story of the race.

“I tried to go out at 4 ½ laps, but I was cut off … I tried again at 300 yards, but somebody stepped in front of me … the same thing at 180 yards,” he said.

Early in the race, Steve nearly had a shoe ripped off and suffered a gash in his leg from a spike wound, and told the gathering, “I’ll carry that wound with me to Montreal in 1976.”

Coos Bay Mayor Wendell Pynch presented the Marshfield High School graduate with a “key” to the city, two commendations from the Coos Bay City Council and a “Prefontaine Way” sign similar to the ones placed at strategic points along Ocean Boulevard where Steve toiled many times during lonely workouts when in high school and

home from Oregon.

Coos has no way to control ‘scavenging’ at county dump site COQUILLE — Although some thought has been given to the problem and some complaints have been received, Coos County has no way to stop scavengers at the county’s dump site near Joe Ney Slough.

Commissioner Lonnie Van Elsberg said Tuesday some complaints have been received about the people who scour the county dump, looking for objects to recover. Van Elsberg said the complaints center mostly around scavengers picking over loads before they are dumped, or getting in the way of persons throwing garbage down into the dump.

The county sanitarian’s office told The World today in response to the question: Do you feel carting garbage from the county dump is sanitary? That, “Ideally people should not be allowed to pick through refuse at the dump sites, but there is practically no way to stop or control it.”

20 YEARS — 2002 New dates, days for Coos County Fair A big change is being planned for the Coos County Fair next year.

The Coos County Fair Board has voted to make significant changes in the dates and days for the 2003 fair, according to Ron Crook, fair manager.

Crook said Tuesday the 2003 Coos County Fair will be held in July rather than the usual second week of August. Scheduled July 22-26, the fair also will begin on Tuesday and end on Saturday rather than starting on Wednesday and ending on Sunday.

The fair, which has been held at the Coos County Fairgrounds in Myrtle Point since 1912, has been scheduled for the second week of August for at least the last 15 years, Crook said. It was rescheduled to avoid conflicts with the Douglas County Fair, which also is held the second week of August.

The change in run days was made to benefit the fair and participants.

“The advantages of the day change is it gives us five full days of fair rather than four and a half,” Crook said.

The fair has traditionally been open only until 5 p.m. on Sundays and after it closes, there’s a mad rush of people wanting to take down exhibits and animals, Crook explained.

“People are usually tired and it’s been frustrating for them,” he said. “And Sunday is usually a light day anyway.”

Saturday is traditionally the busiest day of the fair.

Bandon finishes third in final OSAA Cup standings Bandon finished third in the final OSAA Cup standings for the 202122 school year, on the strength of a pair of state sports titles.

The OSAA Cup, which started in 1999, recognizes overall excellence by schools in athletics, as well as academics and activities. It includes results in the academic all-state program and in activities such as band and speech, along with traditional sports.

The Tigers won the state titles in girls cross country for Class 3A-2A-1A and boys track and field for Class 2A. They finished behind Regis and Kennedy in the final standings for Class 2A. Coquille, which also won two state titles (football and girls track and field) was 10th in the classification.

Marshfield, another school with a pair of sports state titles (football and boys track and field) was seventh in Class 4A, a division won by Philomath. Marshfield and Bandon also tied for first place for Class 4A-3A-2A-1A in speech.

North Bend was 14th in Class 5A, which was won by Wilsonville.

Other winners were Jesuit for Class 6A, St. Mary’s of Medford for Class 3A and Crane for Class 1A. North Bend had finished sixth for Class 5A in 2019-20, the previous year results were tabulated.

Marshfield was 13th in Class 4A and Coquille was ninth and Bandon 18th in Class 2A. Marshfield was fourth, Bandon seventh and North Bend 10th in 2018-19.

North Bend is the only South Coast school to win the OSAA Cup, both in 2016-17 and 2013-14 in Class 4A. Jesuit has won the Class 6A title every year but one since 2004-05.

Kennedy won the previous five Class 2A titles before Regis won for the last school year. Private schools have won the past 13 titles in Class 3A, with six different schools taking the crown.

Yates has three touchdowns for Raiders

Gunner Yates is quickly making an impact at Southern Oregon University.

The Coquille graduate had the best game so far of his freshman football season for the Raiders on Saturday, scoring three touchdowns as Southern Oregon beat Eastern Oregon University 42-14.

Yates had 13 carries for 91 yards and two touchdowns, and also had a receiving touchdown.

His scores were on 48- and 5-yard runs and a 1-yard reception.

He had a 29-yard touchdown run a week earlier in a loss to Carroll College, when he rushed for 86 yards on 15 carries. That was his first collegiate touchdown.

Yates led Coquille to the Class 2A state title last fall, the school’s first in football since 1970.

His dad Griff, also a college graduate, was a three-time NAIA All-American for Southern Oregon.

Chamber endorses Cribbins for commissioner

The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) has endorsed Melissa Cribbins in November’s Coos County commissioner race.

Cribbins, the incumbent in Position 3, is running against Rodney Taylor. An endorsement reflects the chamber’s commitment to provide leadership and advocacy for the local business community.

As a service to its members, the local business community and the public at large, the BACC conducts a thorough assessment of each candidate from a business point of view that can include both a written questionnaire and

a follow-up interview. In this review, we look for a positive track record in four key areas to evaluate each candidate. Those criteria were: • Electability • Leadership • Support of the BACC and our local business issues • Chamber and community Involvement Through this review, the candidates were divided into one of three categories.

Endorsed: Candidate satisfies all the preferred candidate criteria set forth in this policy and in addi-

tion, shares a strong fundamental understanding of our key business issues and concerns, and participates fully in the process.

Not Endorsed: Candidate does not satisfy enough of the criteria of understanding our key business issues to earn endorsement.

Invited But Did Not Respond: Candidate chose not to participate in our process to the full degree of requirement.

Endorsements by the BACC must be by a 2/3 approval of the voting directors. In some races, more than one candidate can meet the chamber’s criteria. In

those cases, the BACC would endorse both candidates. The directors met the standard in September balloting as they voted for the following recommendation to you for the 2022 General Election.

Bandon Playhouse Seeks New Members Despite theater shut-downs due to the pandemic, Bandon Playhouse has survived and even thrived over the past two years. Now the nonprofit organization that has been operating continuously since 1972 needs the community’s support more than ever.

Per its bylaws, Bandon Playhouse will hold its annual membership meeting, which includes election of board members for the coming year at 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 13, in the lobby of the Sprague Theater, 1202 11th St. SW, in Bandon City Park. Current members and new members are eligible for board positions.

During the entire pandemic, the Playhouse met monthly via Zoom and even produced a video for its YouTube channel, “Bandon Burns,” based on the devastating fire of 1936.

This year, Playhouse is again meeting in person on the second Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. at the Sprague Theater. Anyone interested is welcome to attend.

Also this year, Playhouse hosted a theater open house as well as a theater workshop (“Come Play with Bandon Playhouse”) and is in production for its upcoming show: Variety By-the-Sea featuring “Folly of the Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter” to be performed Nov. 18, 19 and 20 at the Sprague Theater.

“We’ve had so much support from the community but we need

more volunteers who are willing to step up and serve on our Board of Directors,” said Playhouse president Amy Moss Strong. “We’ve managed to stay together and there’s nowhere to go but up from here. We hope to present a 2023 theater season that will appeal to all Bandon audiences.”

“We feel Playhouse is still vital to our community and provides opportunities for people of all ages to explore their creative sides,” Moss Strong added. “Whether on the stage or behind it, there’s a place for everyone to shine at the theater.”

The new board will help the Playhouse finalize its 2023 season selections, plus broaden its successful education program. Anyone interested in being nominated for a board position can call Moss Strong at 541-290-9989 to be put on the ballot, or show up at the meeting.

Nominations also can be taken from the floor at the annual membership meeting.

Board appointments run from January through December. Current board members in addition to Moss Strong include past-president Neal Davis, board members Corrie Gant, Annie Ohlsen and Jen Marcotte.

Warmer stream temperatures in burned-over Oregon watershed didn’t result in fewer trout

By STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Article

The number of trout in a southern Oregon stream system showed no decline one year after a fire burned almost the entire watershed, including riparian zone trees that had helped maintain optimal stream temperatures for the cold-water fish.

The research by Oregon State University sheds light on the ability of steelhead, cutthroat and rainbow trout to endure the higher water temperatures expected to accompany climate change and its manifestations, including increased frequency, extent and severity of wildfires.

“It’s crucial that we improve our understanding of the factors that influence how fish respond to postfire changes in stream temperature,” said the study’s leader, Dana Warren, a researcher in the OSU colleges of Forestry and Agricultural Sciences. “The loss of streamside cover during a fire can lead to substantial increases in stream temperature, but the effects of changes to stream thermal regimes on salmonid fishes can be complicated. The fish in this system proved to be quite resilient to these increased temperatures – at least within the range that we saw here.”

The scientists stress that their findings, which showed an increase in fish numbers in their study areas over the summer, do not indicate that wildfires pose no threat to trout populations. In the study, there did not appear to be an immediate impact during peak water temperatures in summer – which regularly got as high as 24 degrees Celsius – but the researchers did not, for example, assess either long-term or less-than-lethal implications of water temperature increases.

“Acute mortality is important but isn’t the only impact,” Warren said. “There may be sublethal effects, like a weakened ability to grow or reproduce. Given the short-term nature of our observations, more research is needed on the mechanisms that drive fish responses to warmer water temperatures, and

come to help them but no one came,” she said.

The mayor said when she heard the news she was upset and called the Bandon Police Department but they knew nothing about it.

“The dispatch had called Coos County animal control – which is apparently the procedure that we have set up and that has got to change,” the mayor said.

County animal control showed up the next day to speak with the pet owner who was attacked - but Bandon city officials were afraid that wasn’t enough.

“Somebody needed to be there on the spot and assess what was happening because it was very traumatic to the neighborhood. This

long-term monitoring is also needed.”

The research, published in Ecosphere, involved the 5,000-acre Hinkle Creek Paired Watershed Study area, second-growth timber land in Douglas County owned by Roseburg Forest Products. In September 2020, the Archie Creek Fire consumed 131,542 acres in the county, including the Hinkle Creek watershed.

“The fire burned an area for which we have all this historical data on stream flow, water temperature, sediment, nutrients and fish,” said study co-author Kevin Bladon, a hydrologist in the College of Forestry. “Going back there and measuring the same parameters provides some really robust insight into the effects of wildfire.”

Established in the early 2000s, the Hinkle Creek study was set up to see how the Oregon Forest Practices Act and modern logging systems protect forest streams during harvest operations, looking at the effects of logging across entire watersheds.

Scientists collected data on water quality, water quantity, fish, amphibians and aquatic invertebrates for five years before harvest and four years after.

For this study Bladon, Warren and collaborators at Oregon State looked at the native salmonids, cutthroat trout and steelhead/ rainbow trout (steelhead are ocean-going, like salmon).

“These are ecologically, culturally and economically important species distributed across western North America,” Warren said.

“Recent studies have speculated about the potential effects of climate change on trout and salmon as summer stream temperatures gradually rise above 16 to 20 degrees Celsius.

Abrupt disturbances like fire can produce rapid and substantial increases in stream temperatures that provide insights not only into how these increasingly common disturbance events affect native salmonids, but more broadly how salmonids may respond to other aspects of climate change.” happened over on Franklin (Street). The police felt bad when I called them because the people in the neighborhood didn’t know why they didn’t come. But the police had not been contacted,” Schamehorn said.

The pet owner who lost her dog wrote a letter that was read during the city council meeting.

“Dangerous dogs are an ongoing threat to the peaceful enjoyment of our homes. Attacks aside – just knowing they are here in Bandon is threatening to their neighborhoods and is enough to make people uneasy, guarded and watchful. I believe that any unprovoked attack on an animal should be met with immediate seizure and disposal of the attacking dog – no second chances to do it again because it is clear they will.”

“The owners are unreliable to count on to keep their dangerous dogs contained one

Research by Oregon State University showed that the number of steelhead trout in a Southern Oregon stream system did not drop after a wildfire raised temperatures in the water.

The Archie Creek Fire consumed the entire Hinkle Creek catchment, including the riparian area – three-quarters of the watershed burned at moderate or high severity – resulting in summer 2021 stream temperatures that regularly rose above 22 degrees Celsius, roughly 7 degrees warmer than prefire conditions.

“And there were two extended periods, 10 days and six days, where stream temperatures never dropped below 16 degrees,” Bladon said.

Contrary to what the scientists had expected, throughout summer 2021 fish abundances did not decline – in fact, they actually increased in the areas where fish numbers were tracked both early and late in the summer.

The persistence of trout in a stream system with elevated temperatures following a fire is not unprecedented, the researchers note. But most of the studies with those types of findings are from regions generally warmer and with greater fire frequency than the western Cascades.

“Although temperatures increased beyond what’s considered the salmonids’ optimal threshold in the Cascades, there were no classically warm-warm species present, so competition from them was not an issue,” Warren said. “A combination of other factors could also have contributed to the persistence of salmonids: high abundance of cooler microhabitats created by groundwater discharge; physiological recovery at night when temperatures were cooler; and an increase in food availability. More investigation is needed to know for sure.”

The National Council for Air and Stream Improvement, the Oregon Forest Industries Council, Roseburg Forest Products and the OSU Fish and Wildlife Habitat in Managed Forests program supported this research.

hundred percent of the time… the dog will eventually get loose on the public,” the letter went on.

The same dog had reportedly attacked the woman prior to the latest incident but she had not wanted to call the police on her neighbors. When the she talked to an animal control representative after the latest incident, they told her that there is a two-strike rule before they can take action against the dog.

Late in August, another Bandon resident had reportedly been walking her dog on Ohio Avenue when a pitbull came out of the bushes and went after her dog. After taking her dog to safety the resident went back out to try to figure out who the owner of the dog was and was reportedly attacked by the same pitbull and another pitbull who bit her in the thigh and she had to go to urgent care for her wound.

“I still don’t think she knows who the owners are,” the mayor said. “At least in the case on Franklin (Street) they know who owns the dog and they have been cited… but it doesn’t bring back this dog.”

Residents of Bandon were urged not to be “the nice neighbor” during the meeting because if issues such as this are happening it’s important to report it for authorities to be able to track the dangerous dogs. Audience members reiterated this sentiment – saying they knew of other residents who had been bitten by aggressive dogs.

Additionally, city officials urged residents to purchase a product called HALT that is a high powered pepper spray that post office professionals use to deter aggressive dogs.

Bandon Police reportedly also agreed to be notified in the event of a future dog attack, so the same scenario that happened recently

Allison Swartz of the OSU College of Forestry and David Roon of the colleges of Forestry and Agricultural Sciences also collaborated on the study.

As I See It: Sinking ships

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN During the hey-day of commercial and sport fishing in the Coquille River, it was not uncommon to see a vessel sink at the local dock. But the first picture I am sharing depicts a fishing boat being raised from the river bottom ... at Prosper.

It was February of 1968 and the boat belonged to a pair of well-known Bandon men. Here's the story: "Salvage efforts of Melvin Erdman and his son Mike, with assistance from a Bandon crew of U.S. Coastguardsmen, were successful last week after the Erdmans' 23-foot offshore fishing boat Edna H was discovered at the bottom of the Coquille River at its Prosper moorage.

"Here, the Coast Guard's 36-foot lifeboat, commanded

by Boatswain's Mate 1/c John Nord, officer in charge of the Coquille River station, tows the water-filled Edna H from its moorage on the channel side of the float to a shallower spot during flood tide, while a line to the boat's mast is used to keep the converted landing craft from listing too heavily.

"Later, at low tide, the water was pumped out and the craft was refloated. It had been feared that a piece of drift might have punched or worn a hole in the hull, but none was found, Erdman reported. He said that silt had been deposited by the river at his moorage spot, reducing the depth more than he had realized, so that at minus tide the boat settled down upon a water-soaked 'sinker' log on one side, apparently causing the boat to list so much that the incoming tidewater capsized the craft before it could float enough to right itself.

After cleaning out the engine and fuel system, the diesel engine was started without difficulty. The electronic gear which was aboard must be sent back to the factory for overhaul, Erdman said, but much of the expensive electronic gear was not on the boat, which when fully equipped is valued at around $10,000."

This was not the first mishap for an Erdman-owned vessel as Western World carried impressive photos of a boat owned by Mike Erdman that had caught fire and burned up in the river near the old Moore Mill truck shop in August of 1977 (second photo). Their largest vessel was the Kelori (named after Mel's daughters Kelly and Lori) which was often featured in the pages of the paper when it was berthed at the local dock. The Erdmans also owned Erdman's Meat Packing off Highway 42S east of town. Melvin Erdman was the son of George and Annie Erdman, who lost their home and business in both the 1914 and 1936 fires, but rebuilt The City Market (later Erdman's Market) at Second and Baltimore, where Lloyd's Cafe stands today in basically the same building.

The third picture I am sharing was taken soon after the fire of 1936 as pharmacist Otto Shindler and the doctors and dentists in the community had joined together to put up the temporary medical center, which today is the nucleus of the Winter River Books building. At the west end of the building (just east of the bank/Masonic building) was Carr's Variety, which today is occupied by Bandon Baking Co. Before the fire it was on the southwest side of what we now refer to as the gravel parking lot, below Oregon Avenue and across from the marketplace building.

The temporary medical center opened on October 9, 1936, exactly 12 days after the fire.

Doctors who set up temporary offices in the building were Dr. E.F. Lucas and Dr. Arthur Gale; dentists were Dr. Floyd W. Dodds (whose son Bill still comes to Bandon to visit the museum and attend Fire programs) and Dr. F.W. Gould.

Unfortunately, Dr. Gale was stricken by a kidney ailment and pneumonia in December and died Dec. 28, 1936, at the age of 58, less than two months after the fire. Deaths like this, and a number of others, are not counted in the number of people who died in the fire, which ranges from nine to 11, depending on which account you read.

According to the Western World, "Dr. Gale was among Bandon citizens who fought the fire of September 26, giving aid to the ill and injured while his home and office were consumed by the flames. It is believed that the inhalation of smoke and heat weakened his lungs and contributed to his demise. He had been on duty long hours since the fire, having reestablished his office in the temporary medical building."

His wife taught many years at Bandon High School, which survived the Fire.

Dr. Lucas continued to practice in the back of the "temporary" medical building until he died in June of 1970 at the age of 73. Many of the buildings in downtown (now Old Town) Bandon were hastily thrown up within days after the fire ... but still stand today. Several, including the Masonic building and the Cranberry Sweets building, survived the fire.

----------------------------------I told my readers last week that long-time Bandon resident Lorna Salt had suffered a stroke and was in a Portland hospital. I am sad to say that Lorna passed away last week at her home, and funeral services are pending, although I do not know the details. Lorna was 90. Among her survivors is her husband Chuck, who has cared for her for many years in their Bandon home. They are longtime members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and were very involved in the local branch.

Lorna was also very

But the first picture I am sharing depicts a fishing boat being raised from the river bottom ... at Prosper. involved with and served as president of the Bandon Playhouse for many years, and although she did not often appear "on stage," she was very active behind the scenes and worked tirelessly to promote the shows and help raise sponsor money. I wrote an article in my column over 10 years ago which said: "She has been the spark plug behind the playhouse for decades, and is definitely a big reason for their success."

I also learned that another long-time resident Don Lynam died recently at the age of 83. A retired pharmacist, Don and his late wife, Joan, moved to Bandon more than 30 years ago, where he was active in the community and served on the Bandon City Council. Among his survivors is his partner, Julita Fong.

----------------------------------A friend stopped me at the bakery this week to see if I could clarify something that she had just heard from a local business person. I said I would try. Like a lot of us, she was concerned about the lack of rental housing in Bandon, and she had been told that Mike Keiser of Bandon Dunes owned 300 homes in Bandon. I said that was patently untrue, and explained that the Dunes is making an effort to develop housing in the area of the resort, as well as south of town, for their employees, but explained to her that there was no way that Mr. Keiser owned 300 homes in the Bandon city limits. She was aware that he owns commercial property in the area of Coquille Point, where plans are in the works to begin building a new motel to replace the one torn down some months ago. Mike Keiser has also expressed his willingness to work with the City to develop community

workforce housing in the area of 20th street. Efforts to discredit Mr. Keiser or in any way infer that he is responsible for the housing crisis are simply not true, nor is it fair.

----------------------------------I told you last week that I would explain why I am supporting Betsy Johnson for Governor. To begin with, some of the legislation that has come out of Salem in the last year or so has definitely not made us safer, including SB 48 (the no-bail bill), and House Bill 2928 which placed restrictions on the tools police can use to confront people vandalizing buildings and causing mayhem. A year ago there was an article in the Oregonian that quotes police who say that "a new state law prohibits officers from directly intervening when people smash storefronts," in response to many thousands of dollars worth of damage in downtown Portland. SB 2928

prohibits the use of pepper spray and rubber bullets for crowd control.

In a recent article, candidate Tina Kotek is quoted as saying she would not attempt to overturn BM110, which made Oregon the first state in the country to decriminalize user grade amounts of heroin, meth and cocaine for nothing more than a $100 fine (which the courts say people tend to ignore), "because it was the will of the people."

Both Johnson and Christine Drazen have said they would work to overturn 110.

An article in the Oregonian, dated Sept. 24, said: "Experts this week warned Oregon legislators that the state's drug epidemic is worsening while its approach lacks critical elements to stem the crisis."

The article pointed out that as long as treatment for addicts is not mandated, but simply available, the problem will only get worse. To make

matters worse, Oregon ranks dead last in available treatment for mentally ill people.

We need to pull our heads out of the sand and pay attention to where these permissive laws are coming from in a state that has been entirely ruled by one political party for years. And yes, I have been a life-long Democrat, but long for the days of legislators like Mark Hatfield.

To me, the safety of our communities is more important than any single issue facing our state. And if you do not believe me, I would suggest that you talk with your police chief or the district attorney, or follow the local police reports.

I have also learned that Tina Kotek's former boss at the Oregon Food Bank is supporting Betsy Johnson.

Rachel Bristol said: "I'm yearning for the days of yore when we had statesmen and stateswomen who could talk and negotiate rather than just bully the other side. I just feel that Tina has gone to extremes and that the policies under her leadership have put us where we are, which is in a horrible place. This is not the Portland and Oregon that I grew up in and love."

I could go on and on why I am supporting a moderate for Governor rather than what I consider to be the extreme of either party. But I hope it is clear to all where I stand.

Extreme partisanship at all levels of government has weakened our Democracy except in those few offices where people are not identified by political party.

----------------------------------Next week, I will also talk about the city's two ballot measures, as well as my strong support for the county measure to fund more jail beds, and my support for Gabe Fabrizio for sheriff.

Masons, Rotarians clean up Coquille cemetery for early September but the fire hazard level did not allow powered tools, so work was postponed to this last weekend. The Masons were overjoyed with the extra help from the Coquille Rotary this weekend as both groups worked hard to clean up the final resting place of generations of Coquille residents.

To join the Coquille Rotary, which is a service organization, feel free to attend their weekly Wednesday lunch meeting at Frasiers or message them through their Facebook page. They are actively looking for volunteers.

BY DR. NANCY KELLER Guest Article

There was a lot of noise at the Masonic Cemetery in Coquille on Saturday as Mason volunteers and Rotarians took care of the overgrowth of the 10-acre cemetery. It was looking good after their efforts of mowing down the tall brown grass, weedeating the plots and clearing the brush.

It is through volunteers that the Masonic Cemetery is taken care of. The Masons try hard to keep up and are grateful for the individual volunteers who come out to clear sections. A work party for both Masonics and Rotarians was scheduled

To become a Mason, which is a fraternity, you need to ask one to apply.

Members of the Coquille Rotary Club worked with local Masons to remove a years' worth of overgrowth at the Masonic Cemetery. The cemetery, which is the final resting place generations of Coquille residents, requires volunteers to keep clean.

Weed of the Month Japanese Knotweed Fallopia japonica

ID Tips:

Just finished flowering

-Large soft leaves in alternate arrangement -Bamboo-like stem -Can grow up to 15'+ tall!

- Blooms white: July-Sept

Japanese Knotweed is a water loving species, though it can thrive in a wide range of environments.

It grows quickly in spring, outcompeting even Himalayan blackberry. In the fall, when it dies back, bare soil is exposed, leading to erosion. And if knotweed is found near infrastructure, beware!!! This plant is hardy, and the spring buds can push through asphalt and damage concrete!

Workshop offered for growers and individuals interested in processing poultry

The Oregon State University Extension Service and Kellim Farms welcomes direct-market producers and those interested learning how to process and direct-market poultry in an open-air facility to attend the Small Farms Program Chicken Processing workshop on Saturday, November 12.

The Chicken Processing workshop will take place from 8 a.m. – noon at Kellim Farms in Glide.

During this outdoor workshop, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning on the farm. This workshop will cover how to ethically butcher, process, store and label chickens in a manner that is compliant with the Oregon Department of Agriculture’s Direct Marketing of Poultry Laws.

Attendees may choose to engage in the butchering and processing of a bird or observe and learn how to

butcher and process in an ethical fashion. You can also take home a processed bird for an additional fee if you choose. This workshop is designed for community members who are interested in Direct Marketing Poultry, or for individuals who are interested in safely growing and processing poultry for personal use.

This field-based workshop costs $10 to attend, and an additional fee of $25 if attendees wish to take home a processed bird. Registration is required by November 1.

To register for the Chicken Processing workshop, visit https://beav. es/iHt or call OSU Extension in Douglas County at 541-672-4461.

Accommodation requests related to a disability should be made by November 1 to Logan Bennett at (541) 236-3015 or at logan.bennett@oregonstate.edu.

ODOT formally opens new Scottsburg Bridge with dedication ceremony The final link in a lifeline route between Interstate 5 and the southern Oregon coast formally opened this morning with the dedication of the Scottsburg Bridge on Oregon 38.

Funded by House Bill 2017 (The Keep Oregon Moving Act), the new $43 million Scottsburg Bridge is wider and on a better alignment than the original 1929 bridge.

It has been built to withstand earthquakes and stay open in times of natural disasters.

“This new bridge will be here a lot longer than us,” ODOT Director Kris Strickler said. “It represents a seismic lifeline between the coast and Interstate 5. We don’t know when an earthquake will happen, but it takes leadership and foresight to get these improvements funded and built.”

Former Rep. Caddy McKeown, who helped guide passage of House Bill 2017 through the Oregon Legislature, shared credit with many others.

“It took everyone pulling on the same oar to make this project happen,” McKeown said. “I want to thank to the citizens of Oregon who trusted their representatives to vote for this bill to get the Scottsburg Bridge built and to keep Oregon moving.”

The old bridge had to be closed several times in the past to repair damage when trucks hit its steel truss. In April 2017, the bridge was closed for nearly five days due to a truck crash.

Prime contractor Hamilton Construction of Springfield began work on the new bridge in January 2020.

Traffic was shifted onto the new bridge this past May and the old bridge was removed in August.

Other speakers at the event included Oregon Transportation Commissioner Julie Brown, former OTC member Martin Callery, Hamilton Construction President Con O’Connor, ODOT Interim Region Manager Darrin Neavoll and Southwest Area Manager Chris Hunter, and ODOT Historians Chris Bell and Larissa Rudnick.

Savannah Sipping Society coming to Dolphin Playhouse

Sparks fly before everyone settles into being best friends: From left, Semantha West as Randa, Brenda Sund as Marlafaye, Michele Moore as Jinx, and (seated) Joy McCarthy as Dot.

Put four Southern women together with some good old-fashioned Kentucky bourbon, and lots of laughs ensue in the upcoming Dolphin Players production of Savannah Sipping Society, by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten.

The delightful comedy opens October 14, with the annual fundraiser Party at the Playhouse, and runs through October 30.

In this laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique Southern women of a certain age, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-to-day routines, are drawn together by fate — and an impromptu happy hour — and decide it’s high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve lost through the years.

Over the course of six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures and nonstop liquid refreshment, the women successfully bond and find the confidence to jumpstart their new lives.

Together they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment and, most importantly, realize it’s never too late in life to make new old friends.

The Dolphin production features Bay Area theater veterans Michele Moore, Semantha West, Brenda Sund and Joy McCarthy and is directed by Alice Carlson.

The October 14 performance is

the Party at the Playhouse, and October 15 is Pay What You Can, as is always the first Saturday of Dolphin Playhouse productions.

Committed to the belief that everyone should be able to share theater, the Dolphin Players established a tradition when the Playhouse opened in 2012 of providing one performance per production in which admission is by donation only.

This is a great option for families and people on fixed incomes.

Masks are recommended but not required, and there is no vaccination requirement for this show.

During the COVID break, improvements were made to the theater’s ventilation system, increasing safety and comfort.

Savannah Sipping Society also runs October 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29 and 30 with curtain at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sundays.

Regular admission is $10, with seniors and students admitted for $8, and children under 12 admitted for $5.

The Dolphin Playhouse is located at 580 Newmark in the historic Empire district of Coos Bay. Reservations may be made by calling 541808-2611, and tickets are usually available at the door.

Tickets may also be purchased on the website thedolphinplayhouse. com.

Nature Guide Journal: Fall Colors

Marty Giles Guest Article Bright splashes on some of our trees tell us it’s underway: The Annual Change of Colors.

From late September through October, many deciduous green trees and shrubs in our temperate zone become flame-colored, glowing in bright yellows, oranges, reds, and burgundies.

Although it may appear so, the green color in the leaves does not transform to yellow or red.

Plant leaves are green in spring and summer because of chlorophyll, the green chemical that plants produce to make food from raw materials and sunlight. Chlorophyll breaks down quickly in sunlight and the plant has to continually replenish it.

But green leaves usually also have other colored chemicals, including carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red).

And burgundy? Anthocyanin in acidic leaf sap turns red; anthocyanin in alkaline leaf sap turns bluish or purple. Different species of color-changing trees -- and trees in different environments -- have different proportions of some or all of these bright chemicals.

These other leaf chemicals have different jobs. Carotenoids help gather sunlight to help chlorophyll do its job by catching energy from lightwave-lengths chlorophyll doesn’t tap, while protecting it from too much sun. Many researchers think anthocyanin (which is produced late in the growing season) plays a role in protecting the plant from certain kinds of stress, such as that from metal imbalance or too much sun -- protection that can help keep the leaves from dropping early.

As late summer days begin to shorten, the food in the leaves of deciduous perennial plants begins to move to the woody tissue for winter storage. In deciduous species, cooling nights prompt the stem to seal off the leaf from incoming water and nutrients. Combined with shorter autumn days, the leaf’s ability to make chlorophyll is slowly turned off.

In this ever changing post COVID-19 world, we are, once again, offering many of our networking opportunities.

For example, our Business after Hours programs which will make you the focus of an evening on the last Thursday of each month, with two hours to acquaint everyone with what makes you special.

These began again as we entered 2022. Also, our

Commissioners honor Sigmon as volunteer of the month Douglas County Commissioners Tim Freeman and Tom Kress were honored to present Bennie Sigmon with the Douglas County Senior Services Volunteer of the Month award for September on Tuesday, September 27, at Bistro Sixty Sutherlin located inside the Sutherlin Seniors Center.

“As a board, we believe recognizing the dedicated men and women who serve our seniors is so important.

The number of man-hours it takes to operate programs through our Senior Services Department is astonishing and it wouldn’t be successful without volunteers like Bennie. They serve each week doing the often-unseen but pivotal work of caring for our seniors through our dining sites and Meals on Wheels programs. It’s an honor to recognize him for serving faithfully three times

a week for almost two decades. That kind of commitment is simply outstanding,” said Kress, liaison commissioner to Douglas County Senior Services.

Victoria Kietzman nominated Sigmon as Douglas County Senior Services Volunteer of the Month. She said, “The number of things Bennie does is almost too long to list because there’s not much he doesn’t do to help Bistro Sixty Sutherlin run smoothly. From the time he opens the site each morning to packing everything away, Bennie is willing to help wherever he is needed and feels great responsibility for ensuring a job well done.

He has been “The Queen of the Kitchen” Miss Louise’s right-hand man for more than 18 years. He is full of smiles and we are blessed to have him on our team.”

Bennie is no stranger to

the kitchen. After four years in the Air Force right out of high school, he has spent his lifetime working in the food service industry. Longtime owner of the Burger Barn Restaurant and more than two decades managing Safeway Bakeries and training up-and-coming bakers within the company, his labor of love continues in his role as the Queen of the Kitchen’s “partner in crime.” Bennie’s favorite part of volunteering is serving meals without having to cook them himself.

When he is not serving at Bistro Sixty, Bennie enjoys spending time with his kids, and long walks with Louise.

Over the years, he has often shared his knack for landscaping by helping others with his caring heart and his green thumbs.

Bennie said, “Serving here with Louise really gives me purpose. And it’s fun!”

Fall Colors

continent, primarily because of our climate. (Our regional native tree species are also somewhat less inclined to produce bright color.)

In the first place, our western forests tend to have more conifers, since conifers better tolerate our dry summers.

Dry summers usually stress the deciduous trees to where there is little of any color chemicals left in the leaves by mid-autumn. Further, by the time we get very cold temperatures it’s later in the year and darker, and even less material is left in any leaves still hanging.

Tans and browns are more common autumn colors here.

The browning leaves of red alder, for example, indicate the death of the leaf tissues.

When the cast-off leaves drop into creeks and streams, their tannins stain the water the color of tea.

Good fall color begins with a wet growing year that makes for healthy, robust deciduous leaves. Good fall color also requires a decided

autumn chill (but not freezing enough to actually rupture the cells in the leaves) that spurs the leaves to disconnect promptly, before the other colors chemically break down. And the best fall color also requires lots of summer sunshine to encourage anthocyanin production for brilliant reds.

While the American Northeast is famous for fall color, the Pacific Northwest forests can sparkle in autumn, too: Under the right conditions, our native vine maple can produce brilliant yellow to reds -- giving an unparalleled show when nestled among dark evergreens.

From B1

The chlorophyll remaining in the leaf continues to be broken down by the sunlight until it disappears to reveal the other chemicals: the loss of chlorophyll allows the other colors to shine. In addition, the lower temperatures also increase the plant’s production of the red pigment, anthocyanin.

Ever notice how some trees change their color in patterns -- perhaps redder at the top or outside edges of the tree? The reddest leaves may get more light (promoting anthocyanin production) or may take longer to export leaf-sugars to woody storage (the sugars also promote anthocyanin production). Look for such variations of color on some individual leaves, too.

The northeastern United States is well known for bright autumn colors, but this seasonal sunset is less exuberant in our corner of the
