Devereux Center receives State funding for relocation project money. The proposal for the Salvation Army did not see nearly as much of a response from the community, however. During public comment for both North Bend meetings this week it became clear why that was. Portions of the community are not big fans of the Devereux Center. As the most visible center for homeless services in the area, the Devereux often shoulders the blame for the homeless population in Coos County. In the handful of fierce public comments on Monday evening, citizens were often less concerned with the finer details of the proposal, but instead were frustrated over two main points. The first was over the City of Coos Bay’s City Council and their process for approving this project. Many citizens felt too much of the conversation was held in executive session, and that they couldn’t properly engage in the dialogue before it was too late. Hence why the passionate crowd felt the need to attend the North Bend meetings for a Coos Bay issue. As simply the financial arbiter of an already approved proposal,

for bolstering rural homelessness shelters, will go towards the addition of upwards of 30 shelter beds alongside other facility upgrades. A $480,000 chunk of the over $1.9 million awarded to Coos County has already been approved for a similar initiative with the Salvation Army. Coos County served as the fiscal agent for the Salvation Army’s expansion project, and North Bend served the same role for the Devereux Center project. Both bodies needed to enter an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Coos Bay to act as the go-through for the grant

An impassioned crowd of Coos County residents were present for a North Bend City Council work session and regular meetings on February 12th and 13th, 2024. The response was prompted by news of the Coos County Homeless Response Office’s (HRO) $1.5 million allocation of state funds to move and renovate the Devereux Center, the largest homelessness services center in the area. The funding, which is a portion of $26.1 million approved by Gov. Tina Kotek

It is said that all good things must come to an end. But, every now and again, they come back with a new spin. Abby Wiley recently opened the Tin Rooster, a coffee shop and café, in a space that was part of the longtime community establishment, Ciccarelli's. Wiley said she understands the sadness the community felt when the Ciccarelli's Italian restaurant owners decided it was time to move on last year. She spent 14 years of her life helping out and working at the establishment. The former Ciccarelli’s manager decided she would do what she could to keep it alive in the community. So, she reopened the coffee café side of the restaurant under a new name. “I decided to take it on – and recreate it in a way – but still keep the traditional Ciccarelli's recipes,” Wiley said. The Tin Rooster owner said she kept many of the same baked goods, including the traditional

Confederated Tribes announce opening of new Three Rivers Health Center WORLD STAFF

The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) are announcing the upcoming opening of the Three Rivers Health Center in spring of 2024. Tribal representative report this new healthcare facility represents a significant advancement in the availability of health services for Southwest Oregon, embodying a model of care that is both innovative and inclusive. Three Rivers Health Center will be located at 150 S Wall Street in Coos Bay. CTCLUSI purchased the old Banner Bank building in Empire in 2022 in hopes of creating a much-needed healthcare facility for the Tribal community and surrounding area. Members of the Tribal Council and staff gathered together at the site on August 8,

2023 for the official groundbreaking ceremony, Construction is slated to be completed by the end of March, 2024. “This center has been a long time in the making. There has long been an identified need for extended mental health and primary health services for the area, and I’m just so happy to see that we’re finally getting this center going for our community,” Iliana Montiel, CTCLUSI Council Member and Assistant Director of Health Services, stated in a press release. The new 5,500 square-foot health center is poised to offer a range of healthcare services that will integrate traditional and modern practices. Those involved with the project report that the innovative care model will support body, mind and spirit through medical, behavioral, pharmacy, telehealth and laboratory services,

making it a unique and vital resource for the region. "The Three Rivers Health Center is not just a medical facility; it is a testament to our commitment to improving the health and well-being of our community. We are integrating traditional knowledge with modern healthcare practices to provide a holistic approach to wellness,” stated John R. Reeves III, CTCLUSI Health Administrator. “This center will be a beacon of hope and health for Coos, Curry and Douglas counties. And it will soon become an anchor as we continue to plan and expand services for our members who reside in Lane and Lincoln counties,” Reeves said.

Coos Bay Library spices things up BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

The Coos Bay Public Library is giving community members an opportunity to increase their knowledge of global flavors through a monthly Spice Passport. Library staff is providing interested patrons with a sample of a new spice from around the world every first Monday of the month. Coos Bay Librarian Gene Iparraguirre said he hopes the program will broaden people’s palettes by opening their taste buds to new flavors. “The main objective with this is to get people to branch out of the normal spices they would buy,” he said.

Devereux Funding continued from page 1

North Bend City Council’s wrists were tied on the matter. The second point of frustration came from those with a clear anti-Devereux bias. To many, it was simply the idea of the Devereux receiving this level of funding that was unacceptable. Those who made salient points opposing the proposal itself often couched those points in anti-homeless rhetoric and sweeping generalizations about the homeless community. The tide shifted on Tuesday night, after more people were able to watch the HRO’s February 9th meeting in which this proposal was discussed.

The spice of the month for February was a druze mix, which contains pine nuts, pistachios, almonds, sumac, onion, coriander and other flavors. This spice mix is popular in Israel, Syria and Lebanon. In March, the spice profile will move to Spain and Hungary with samples of paprika. Coos Bay librarian Iparraguirre said he grew in a family that was adventurous with food. “I’m very fortunate that we were constantly buying new spices and trying new things. That's a luxury that I took for granted. But not everyone has been able to branch out like that,” he said. These days, the local librarian enjoys researching

No governing body is content to give out $1.5 million of funding with no questions asked, and this proposal was no exception. North Bend City Administrator David Milliron, who had a hand in all three meetings, drew a large amount of ire from the crowds that were present at North Bend City Hall. Unfairly so, as it was Milliron’s motion during the HRO meeting that laid the groundwork for more city oversight for the Devereux Center. These attached strings to the proposal will require the Devereux to operate under guidelines mutually agreed upon with the city, and for the new center to not be a deterrent for the community. The HRO’s Admin-

the various kinds of spices that people eat in different countries, and finding recipes that incorporate these spices for local residents to enjoy. Every spice packet contains a different spice sample and a ‘passport’ brochure with at least one recipe and instructions on how to cook the meal. It also contains additional resources to find out more about the spices and foods cooked in the featured region. At first, the librarian wasn’t sure how much interest the Spice Passport program would attract. But library patrons have been eating it up. “The community is very adventurous and very vocal about cooking and trying

istrative Coordinator Ashley Horath stated the kind of governing body the new Devereux should operate under at that meeting. “When we put this agreement together, I intend to have some elected officials sit at the table because they take heat for things, I intend to have police officers at the table because they are the ones in response. I intend to potentially have some service providers at the table so that they can be making decision about how best to serve this population. And I very much intend to have folks from the Devereux Center, who are doing this hard work every single day, sit at the table and talk to us about what is possible,” said Horath

new things. I had people last month come in and tell me, ‘I tried that recipe. I really loved it. Where can I find more of this?’” The spice passport is one of several culinary programs put on by the Coos Bay Public Library.

about the proposal. The motion from North Bend City Council to enter the IGA with Coos Bay passed unanimously, with many Councilors citing this increase in accountability for the Devereux as the main motivating factor for their support. “I understand what everyone is saying here, but unless there’s a change, there is not going to be a change” said Counselor Matt Hamilton on the issue, after it was made clear that people are dissatisfied with the Devereux in its current state. The Council cited that even for those who dislike the Devereux, this is a chance to bring the center more in line with how the city wants it to operate.

To the impartial observer, this proposal seems like a win-win. The money was ‘use it or lose it’, so securing $1.5 million in funding is huge amount for the area regardless. Those who are not fans of the way the Devereux Center operates will see it working in closer collaboration with the city. Those who support the center in its current form will get to see it expand the level of service it can provide. Anyone who has been to the Devereux Center during a busy lunchtime will know the place is bursting at the seams. Until the root causes of homelessness begin to see remedy, we as a community must make a choice: do we do our best

to abate the suffering in our community, or do we turn our heads because the short-term view is prettier in the other direction? To those looking to reclaim their lives and act as contributing members to the community, there is no better resource than the Devereux Center. At the end of the day, the best indicator of a functional society is the way we treat the most vulnerable among us. Those seeking essential services which would otherwise be beyond their reach, should have access to them.

Held on Coos Bay for more than three decades, the annual festival brings together dancers and musicians from up and down the West Coast to dazzle the crowds at the The Mill Casino • Hotel & RV Park in North Bend, just five minutes north of Coos Bay. Musical acts come from across the country to pack the stage. This year’s artists include the Alpha Rhythm Kings, Ocean Blvd, the Shaymus Hanlin Quartet and The Throttles, to name just a few. “The South Coast Clambake Music Festival is one of the most unique musical celebrations on the entire Oregon Coast,” said Janice Langlinais, Executive Director of the Coos Bay-North

Now in its 33rd year, the festival spotlights all kinds of live music at The Mill Casino March 7-10 Bend-Charleston Visitor and Convention Bureau, commonly known as Oregon’s Adventure Coast. “The musical styles, the energy, the variety – all of it is just incredible, and it takes place in this amazing setting on a gorgeous stretch of the Oregon Coast.” An old-time word for a musical jam session, a clambake is all about music and good times. And there’s plenty of that in store for the South Coast Clambake Music Festival, which will spotlight at least a dozen musical acts. The festival also offers a wide range of dance lessons for anyone looking to get their feet moving. The Mill Casino Hotel & RV Park is the area’s premier gaming and entertainment venue, especially for an extravaganza like the South Coast Clambake Music Festival.

waterfront hotel rooms, a pool and spa, and a casino with eight table games and more than 600 gaming machines. The hotel is offering special discounted rates to guests attending the Festival. Tickets to the festival are available now and range from $15-$110. A portion of the proceeds helps support the festival’s Youth Music Education Fund, which brings live music to elementary and junior high schools in Coos County during festival week. Area high school bands are also invited to play at the festival on the morning of Friday, March 6. Visitors who come to the area for the South Coast Clambake will also find plenty of other attractions nearby, from hiking to shopping, birding and fishing.

Announcements THEIR RIGHTS, YOUR VOICE Call for Volunteers COOS and CURRY COUNTY The Long-Term Care Ombudsman program is an independent state agency that serves long-term care facility residents through complaint investigation, resolution and advocacy to improve resident care. There are now more long-term care facilities than the current ombudsman volunteers can cover. Consequently, many residents have no local advocate to support them. There is a desperate need for volunteers to visit facilities, advocate for residents’ rights, and recognize and take action when there is neglect in this vulnerable population. As an ombudsman volunteer, one of the simple pleasures is seeing the smile on a resident’s face as sometimes you are the only visitor they will see that week, that month or even that year! A willingness to advocate for often-forgotten older adults and a six day training program get you started on a journey filled with the personal reward of knowing you are making a difference in someone’s life and giving back to the community. Aside from the training, a certified ombudsman volunteer must be over 21, pass a background check and be able to volunteer 16 hours a month. The training is interactive and currently conducted virtually, so you can train in your own home. A computer and a good internet connection are needed. If you are interested in attending the training, an application process must be completed online or by mail. Please consider helping some of your most vulnerable neighbors and community members! For more information or to apply, please contact our office: (971) 600-6149 or email julie.maw@rights. oregon.gov. You may also reach out to the local ombudsmen directly: Edith Lanuza at (541) 756-5730 or Susann Steinberg at (541) 267-0892.

PRIORITIZING RELIABILITY AND SERVING CUSTOMERS Pacific Power remains dedicated to delivering safe, reliable, affordable power now and for years to come. We recognize the impact that price increases have on our customers. As we make needed investments in our system and navigate economic trends, we will continue to take measures to keep our rates low and to capture savings for our customers. On February 14, 2024, Pacific Power filed a general rate case in Oregon, requesting an overall rate change of $322.3 million, or 17.9%, to become effective January 1, 2025. The company’s requested change will be reviewed by the Oregon Public Utility Commission and if approved, the expected impact on the average monthly bill for an average residential customer using 950 kilowatthours per month would be $30.66 per month. When combined with the proposed decrease in net power costs in the company’s Transition Adjustment Mechanism, the proposed overall change would be a net increase of $304.1 million, or 16.9%. The primary reason for this filing is to support our efforts to provide resilient, safe, reliable electric service for our customers and communities in the face of extreme weather impacts, including capital investments for transmission and renewable resources, increased insurance costs due to wildfire risk, and vegetation management related costs. Customers can visit PacificPower.net/Wattsmart for energy- and money-saving tips and information. Energy Trust of Oregon also offers energy efficiency programs and information to Oregon residents and businesses. Contact Energy Trust of Oregon at energytrust.org or 1-866-368-7878 for more information. Pacific Power also offers an Oregon Low-Income Discount Program to income qualifying customers. Program enrollment is available online, by phone, or paper application. Copies of Pacific Power’s rate request application are available at our main office, located at 825 NE Multnomah Street, Portland, Oregon 97232 and on our website at pacificpower.net/rates. Customers may contact Pacific Power for additional information about the filing by mail to Pacific Power’s main office at the address above, or by calling 1-888-221-7070. TDD/TTY users can call the National Relay Service or 1-888-221-7070. Para un representante que habla español, llame al 1-888-225-2611. Requests to receive notice of the time and place of any hearing on this application may be directed to the Public Utility Commission of Oregon at 201 High Street SE, Suite 100, Salem, Oregon 97301-3398 or by calling 1-800-522-2404.

Obituary

Anne Edwards

February 17, 1929 – December 30, 2023

Anne drove off into sunset, leaving this life at 94 years young. She was a true lover of life, an optimist filled with wonder and questions nobody had the answers to. Her laugh was infectious and her wit was sharp. She will be remembered as a loving matriarch, wonderful friend, mediocre cook and terribly impatient. Waiting for anyone or anything was simply not her style. Anne was born February 17th, 1929 in Hiawassee, Georgia as the 4th of 7 children to parents Truman and Stella Holmes. She is survived by her sister Imogene, her 4 children: Stan, Vicki, Rod, and Amy, 3 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and many loving extended family members. She is preceded in death by many adored family and friends whom she missed dearly. Anne was an independent spirit, living

alone into her 90s. In her childhood, “Annie Ruth” could be found running barefoot in rural Georgia with her siblings and expertly evading farm chores. As a young adult, Anne began her most treasured adventure, becoming a mother after marrying Basil “Ed” Edwards. She loved their early travels around the country, birthing each of her children in a different state. After settling to raise her children in southern California, she retired in Oregon to immerse herself in the role of “Nana”.

She taught us so many things: to parallel park, to find humor in any situation, to be painfully honest when someone cooks something you dislike, to be ever curious, find beauty where others might not think to look, and to never leave the house without a pocket full of tissues. She taught us all how to love. Anne will be forever missed and impossible to forget. Let’s keep Anne’s spirit alive by cherishing her memory, indulging in awe, and sharing love with wild abandon. Bless her heart. oxoxox

Sobering Center approved to be added to the Coos County Jail.

BY DEAN BRICKEY For The World

COQUILLE — Coos County Commissioners have approved establishing a sobering center in the county jail. The commissioners unanimously approved the project Jan. 24, agreeing to contribute $300,000 for the first year of operation and $250,000 annually for the next four years, to go with an annual contribution from Coos Bay. Sheriff Gabe Fabrizio said he’s considering putting the facility in the former juvenile detention space, which has eight rooms equipped with cameras. The department uses the space as an evidence locker, but deputies would move everything to accommodate the recovery unit. Ross Acker, director of intensive care coordination at Advanced Health in Coos Bay, said he wanted to gauge the

commissioners’ interest after the concept received the green light from other health related agencies in the county. Advanced Health is a locally owned and operated coordinated care organization serving Coos and Curry counties. Acker said funds were available to run the sobering center and that Coos Bay would commit it opioid settlement funds to the project, but the bulk of the center’s funding would have to come from the county. Megan Simms, county treasurer/finance director, said the county’s settlement fund contains about $434,000 and she expects the county to receive another $300,000 annually. Bay Area First Step, a peerrun recovery center in Coos Bay, which operates with settlement funds, would be a partner in the proposed sobering center. Commissioner John Sweet said the county has needed such a facility for a long time, but he

was concerned about the cost of renovating the jail to accommodate it. He asked if the federal settlement money could be used to create an evidence locker. Simms said that would be questionable. Commission Chairman Rod Taylor expressed concern about the cost of maintaining the program. The annual operating cost for a sobering center would be $400,000 to $500,000, Acker said, quoting information from Adapt Integrated Health Care of Winston, which is a substance use treatment program in Douglas County. He said the Local Alcohol and Drug Planning Committee (LADPC) would continue to seek grant funding for the sobering center. Sweet replied that in his experience, foundations are eager to help with startup funding, but seldom pay for operational costs. The county would do its share, he said, but the remainder would need to

Crab Festival in Bandon, March 9th

come from the cities. Coos Bay is considering a $50,000 annual contribution, said Nichole Rutherford, city manager. She noted that none of the other cities in the county receive opioid settlement funds because they are smaller than 10,000 population. Taylor said he is would hesitate to use the county’s entire $300,000 in annual federal settlement funds to operate and maintain the sobering center because other needs would arise that could use the federal money. Acker told commissioners that people beginning recovery don’t need to be at Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay because sometimes it takes those suffering substance abuse six to seven times in a recovery program before they understand their need to change behavior. The proposed sobering center would be another tool for law enforcement, he added.

A local artist is showing her work at the AKI Gallery in North Bend through the end of March. Megan Gray says nature is her muse. Born and raised on the Southern Oregon Coast, Gray said she has no shortage of inspiration for her art. “I spend a great deal of time lost in enchantment and awed by all the natural spectacles. I'm happy to reside in a place that continues to inspire and cultivate my sense of wonder,” Gray said on her website. Gray’s artist statement for the AKI exhibit is titled, ‘Savoring.’ She says many people are too preoccupied to stop and notice the smallest of details.

“We want to see the big picture, but fail to recognize everything comes together in one shared space. We take for granted the small blades of grass that make up the sweeping vista. The light and shadow that gives the mountain faces,” Gray said. The artist said by focusing on the present, we are more likely to notice these details and be truly present to allow oneself to savor the moment. She wishes to celebrate these subtle nuances and express gratitude for life’s fleeting moments. The community can view Grays’s work at the AKI Gallery at 1997 Sherman Ave in North Bend through March 29. The gallery hours are Tuesday and Wednesday from noon to 9 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

As I See It

Photos contributed by the Mary Schamehorn collection

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN

This week I am sharing a bit of history about the organization of the Bandon Fire Department, with three pictures taken during a 50-year span, dating back to the early days when this postcard shows a fire hose cart being pushed down First Street (first photo). An article in the July 11, 1929, Western World is headlined "Organize A Fire Department," although it was clear from the second picture, taken during the first Bandon Fire, in 1914, when a block or two of the business district burned, that Bandon did have fire equipment of some sort. You can see one of the big hose carts in the center of the photo, with hose having been strung over the building and onto the fireman on the roof. The third photo was taken in 1956 as George Chappell, left, and Police Chief D.S. MacDonald watch firemen battle a blaze at Jack Kronenberg's office, just northeast of Face Rock Creamery, with the property most recently being a dental office. Today, Bandon is served by the Bandon Rural Fire Protection District, which has the latest in fire-fighting equipment and a host of volunteer firefighters, as well as a healthy tax base. The 1929 article explained that "C.L. Barnum, proprietor of Barney's Service Station, an experienced fireman and one time platoon leader in the Marshfield department, was elected chief of the Bandon volunteer department

at the organizational meeting held at city hall last night. About 35 members have signed up and more than 30 were present. Others elected were C.S. (Curly Woomer), assistant chief; Fred Moore, F.E. Drane, and Elmer Gant, delegates." Curly Woomer was chief at the time of the Bandon Fire of 1936. "It was decided to organize five companies, one each for pumper, chemical, hook and ladder, tug and salvage. Lute Henry has been engaged temporarily to sleep at the fire hall for the purpose of driving the truck in the event of a night fire." It was pointed out by the state fire marshal Geo. W. Stokes of Portland that "a volunteer fire department is a public service organization and merits the whole-hearted support of everybody in the community. It is essential to proper protection and without it the very best of equipment is practically useless. He complimented Bandon upon its splendid purchase in a fire truck and its water system. The equipment here, he said, is as good as any in the state considering the size of the town. "Mayor Herbert Brown explained that the city had purchased an up-to-date truck with a 500-gallon pumper and has ample hose and chemical and that now it wants a volunteer department. He stated that the city had considered selling its chemical truck, which is mounted on a Ford chassis. Several argued against it, stating that no city ever has too much

fire fighting equipment and that the chemical can often be used to better advantage than the pumper and is always a measure of protection in case of emergency, particularly if flying embers should start other fires while one is in progress. "Mayor Brown suggested a department have three trained crews, one for the pumper, one for the tug which is always an effective fighting machine in a downtown fire, and one for the chemical." Mayor Brown was the grandfather of former Bandon mayor Judy Brown Densmore. My grandfather, H.H. Dufort, was a long-time city councilor. Judy and I have the distinction of being the only female mayors in Bandon's history. "In the event of a fire in the business district, salt water can be pumped from the Coquille river, which is a distinct advantage as one gallon of salt water is more effective in extinguishing fire than two gallons of fresh water. The Port of Bandon maintains a steam tugboat in the harbor, which has three lines of hose and can within a few moments be converted into a firefighting machine. "With a local department that holds regular drills and studies fire protection, Bandon should be one of the best prepared cities of its size in the state," said the fire marshal. Seven years later, Sept. 26, 1936, Bandon was essentially destroyed by the second major fire. -------------------------Southern Coos

Hospital and Health Center has entered into a contract to provide the Emergency Department with a new group of physicians and advanced practice providers. The provider will be known as Bandon Emergency Physicians, owned by Dr. Rob Evans. SCGHC CEO Ray Hino told the board "they have already brought on board 10 new excellent emergency providers. Most of the new physicians are coming from Eugene," said Hino. Most of the new doctors had practiced at Peace Health University District Hospital, which closed recently leaving Eugene without a hospital and leaving the second largest city in Oregon without an emergency room. Peace Health Sacred Heart Medical Center in Springfield is the area's largest hospital. -------------------------As I was writing about our new ER doctors, I thought back to an article I had read in the March 1983 Western World when the ER at Southern Coos was in danger of closing because it was staffed by only two doctors at that time, including the late Del Remy. They termed the load "unreasonable." The other ER doctor, Pamela Bird, offered to staff the emergency room full-time on weekends and holidays for $20 per hour and continue rotating with Remy on weeknights for $50 each night. Anther option was to require doctors who use the hospital to rotate duties in the emergency room. The board agreed that it was necessary to keep the emergency room open, which they did. -------------------------People keep asking me if Grocery Outlet still plans to build a store in Bandon. Last week, I received an email from a man with information

about the project. He said, "I wanted to confirm that we are still working with Grocery Outlet on the Bandon store but are facing some hurdles with the current state of the real estate market." I believe our planner and city manager plan to talk with the man, and then share the info with the council. -------------------------I asked our planning director Dana Nichols for information about the Marriott Hotel project, which had been slated for the gravel lot in Old Town. She said the Marriott's original application had expired as they did not submit the required materials to make their application complete within a 180-day timeframe, nor did they formally withdraw their application. "We received an email from their planning consultant on Friday that expressed their intent to reapply, but are working toward an agreement with the Coquille Indian Tribe," she said, referring to the letter sent by the Tribe to Marriott expressing concerns about building on the property, which has significant Native American issues. -------------------------I mentioned last week that Tom Stadelman had fallen from a ladder at his building at Baltimore and Second Street and injured his back. I heard from Tom after my column came out, and he told me he had broken his pelvis. "I'll be able to get around and don't expect I'll need surgery. I should be back to normal within six more weeks," he said. He also told me of several plans for the building, but they had not yet been confirmed. The exterior of the building looks fantastic, and I can't wait to see who leases it. -------------------------"About a hundred years ago" is the topic

Museum volunteer Jim Proehl will lead a fast-moving exploration of Bandon in the 1920s, a particularly interesting period in the community's history. Maybe after you attend that program you may want to stop by city hall where the city council will be holding a workshop on homelessness, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., that is open to the public. The Bandon High School Fire program, which Jim and I put on at the museum Saturday, was a big success.

Abigail Van Buren

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 or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

To order “How to Write Letters for All Occasions,” send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $8 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby -- Letter Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.)

Dear Abby: I suffered an injury that caused internal bleeding, which then gave me iron deﬁciency anemia. I was battling its symptoms of depression and anxiety before I was diagnosed. Never having had any mental health struggles in my life, I had no idea what was happening to me. I was happy and calm my whole life until this medical condition changed my behavior considerably. My wife of 20 years left me. I was diagnosed with the iron deﬁciency anemia after she had left. After the diagnosis, I was able to stop my blood loss and cure the anemia. Its symptoms went away, and I returned to my normal self. I was sure my wife and I would reconcile after my diagnosis, but she says I was using the illness as an excuse for my behavior. She doesn't understand it was the cause. She mistakenly believes I am permanently mentally ill. She doesn't understand that these symptoms went away once the illness was cured. She says it brought out my true personality, which is not true. My wife and family are my whole life. I didn't get this medical condition on purpose. We have a 4-year-old daughter I am a great father to. My wife is throwing away our family and trying to take my daughter away from me because I had a curable illness, which I no longer have. How can I get her to understand what happened and save our family?

— SADDEST MAN IN THE WORLD

DEAR Saddest: You can't force your wife to reconcile, but it would be beneﬁcial to both of you to consult your physician so he or she can explain the reason for your personality change and assure her the problem is not permanent. If that doesn't help, then you will have to accept that the marriage is over for the most tragic of reasons and go on with your life. I am so sorry for your predicament.

Dear Abby: My husband died two years ago. It has been a struggle, but we are making it. I have two sons. One is on his own; the other is in middle school. I want to move back to my hometown, but my son wants to stay here with his friends and go to the local high school like his brother did. I don't have anything holding me here besides my job. I am so sad and depressed. Moving back home with friends and family closer would be better for me but maybe not better for him. Losing his dad has been really hard on him. It will be four years before he ﬁnishes school. I just want to be a good mom. Please advise me.

— NOT SURE IN SOUTH CAROLINA

DEAR Not Sure:

Do not move your son while he is in his last year or two at the middle school. By then, cliques have formed, and he may find it difficult to fit in at the new school. The time to make that move would be the summer before your son's freshman year of high school, because at that time every student will be entering a new environment and be on more equal footing socially. It couldn't hurt to discuss this with a counselor at your son's school and ask for suggestions.

A WORD PLEASE: When a lack of punctuation landed a woman in jail BY. JUNE CASSAGRANDE

Michael: The incident has already been reported. When you see that sentence, do you think that I’m talking to Michael, or do you think that Michael said that and I’m quoting him? What if we added one more line for context? Michael: The incident has already been reported. Timothy: Then, sir, all is lost! It’s starting to look like dialogue, right? Like the words after the name Michael are not me talking but in fact are Michael’s own words. Naturally, if I added quotation marks, all doubt would be erased. Michael: “The incident has already been reported.” But the quote marks would be wrong. For dialogue, according to both the Associated Press Stylebook and the Chicago Manual of Style, from which I lifted this Michael-Timothy dialogue verbatim, you should use only a colon and no quotation marks. Yet a colon could mean the opposite. Sometimes colons are used to indicate you’re addressing someone directly. You see

this most often in correspondence — emails, letters and the like. Michael: I hope you’re well. If this were the first line in an email, the reader would know immediately who’s talking. Plus, if you throw in a word before Michael like “dear” or “hey,” you erase all doubt. Dear Michael: I hope you’re well. It’s a small miracle that this system doesn’t cause more problems. We can usually infer who’s talking from the context. For example, when we see a news headline that says, “Biden: You can’t have the strongest economy in the world with a second-rate infrastructure,” we know that it’s probably not someone at the newspaper speaking directly to Joe Biden but instead a shorthand way of attributing the quote to the president himself. Even if that’s not immediately clear, it usually takes no more than a sentence or two for the reader to understand who’s talking. It’s a pretty good system, usually. But it didn’t work out so well for Monica Ciardi, a New Jersey mom who went on Facebook to vent about the way two judges handled her child-custody

dispute with her ex-husband. Among Ciardi’s many angry posts was this one: “Judge Bogaard and Judge DeMarzo: If you don’t do what I want then you don’t get to see your kids. Hmm.” Soon after, local police swarmed Ciardi’s house, handcuffed her and put her in jail, where she would spend the next 35 days for “terroristic threats, harassment and retaliation against a public official,” according to the New Jersey Monitor. Ciardi says she wasn’t speaking to the judges — wasn’t harassing them or threatening them on her 50-follower Facebook account. She was instead paraphrasing the judges’ words and actions as she interpreted them — summing up the jurists’ implicit message. “She got arrested because she forgot quotation marks,” Ciardi’s public defender, Mackenzie Shearer, told the paper. Yes, quotation marks could have prevented the whole unfortunate incident. But technically you can’t forget a punctuation mark if it was never required in the first place. Here's my recent column explaining the situation.

BOEM finalizes wind energy areas in Oregon JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

Development of wind energy projects off the southern Oregon Coast is one step closer to reality. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) announced Tuesday, Feb. 12, two proposed projects, one offshore at Coos Bay, and the other off shore at Brookings, have been finalized. The BOEM said the projects support the Biden-Harris administration’s goals for deploying 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind energy capacity by 2030 and 15 GW of floating offshore wind energy capacity by 2035. The WEAs were developed following extensive engagement and feedback from the state, Tribes, local residents, ocean users, federal government partners, and other members of the public. The final WEAs are based on reducing potential conflicts of ocean users, particularly on commercial fishing. But during public meetings in 2023 in Brookings and Coos Bay, locals voiced opposition and concern about the projects. One of his biggest concerns is how the construction and placement of turbines would impact the ecosystem and fishing grounds in the areas. Charleston commercial

fisherman Nick Edwards said the Oregon Coast offers a great place to fish because of its abundance of species. He’s worried that could be lost to floating offshore wind. “We don’t want the demise of our ecosystem to be the unintended consequences of offshore wind,” he said. County commissioners from Coos, Curry and Douglas counties passed proclamations opposing the floating offshore wind turbines. John Sweet, one of three Coos County commissioners, said although he helped pass a county proclamation opposing the potential for floating offshore wind, he is still undecided. “I grew up right on the coast,” he said. “I worked in the ocean transportation business for almost 40 years. So I’m aware of the ocean conditions here and that gave rise to some concern that this might not work.” The two WEAs total approximately 195,012 acres and they avoid 98% of the areas recommended for exclusion due to their importance as commercial fishing grounds. The Coos Bay WEA is 61,204 acres and is located 32 miles from shore. The Brookings WEA is 133,808 acres and is about 18 miles from shore. A map of the final WEAs can be found on BOEM’s website.

“BOEM values its close coordination with the State of Oregon as we continue to work together to maintain a robust and transparent offshore wind planning process,” BOEM Director Elizabeth Klein said in a release. “We will continue to work closely with Tribal governments, federal and state government agencies, ocean users, coastal communities and all interested stakeholders as we move forward with our environmental review.” On Feb. 14, 2024, BOEM will publish a notice in the Federal Register announcing its intent to prepare an environmental assessment of potential impacts from offshore wind leasing in the WEAs. The notice will initiate a 30-day public comment period. Another public comment period would occur if BOEM decides to move forward with a lease sale in either of the WEAs. In addition to engaging with the State, Tribes, coastal communities and ocean users, BOEM partnered with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) to assess opportunities for wind energy development and reduce or avoid impacts on other important ocean uses in Oregon. The agencies developed a comprehensive, ecosys-

HOLY COW! HISTORY: Wisconsin’s Million-Dollar Blunder File this in that bulging category, “It seemed like a good idea at the time.” Exactly 120 years ago this month, a lightbulb went off in someone’s head in Madison, Wis. You can almost picture him excitedly shouting, “Hey guys, it just hit me. I know how we can save a boatload of money!” And it would have, too, if something hadn’t gone terribly wrong. Instead of saving taxpayer money, that idea cost the state a fortune. Here’s how it happened. Back in the early 1900s, Americans were filled with optimism. They had made it through a cataclysmic civil war and survived a string of painful economic downturns. The new century brought a new burst of daring to dream big. In Wisconsin, some folks wondered if that might mean a new state capitol building. They were all the rage around the United States just then. Several states traded in their dowdy old statehouses and upgraded to newer versions. “Get with the times,” progressives said. “This is the 20th century, after all.” There certainly was a case for a new capitol. The beautiful structure built in 1863 that looked like a scaled-down version of the U.S. Capitol was nice enough. But 40 years later, it was just too small. The state government had exploded, and it couldn’t handle all the legislators and bureaucrats, mountains of state documents, records from tens of thousands of Wisconsin’s Civil War and Spanish-American war veterans, land grants, etc. It even housed a popular state museum whose relics included the preserved remains of Old Abe the War Eagle, who had flown to national fame during the War Between the States. By 1903, legislators began exploring new digs to call home. As they pondered the possibility,

the lightbulb mentioned earlier flashed on in someone’s head. Instead of paying $800 annually for the capitol’s $600,000 insurance policy, why not self-insure? After all, $800 was a lot of money at the time — roughly the annual salary for a state government employee. Better to put that money into the State Insurance Fund and watch it grow than hand it over to a private insurance company. So that’s just what state officials did. The policy was allowed to lapse in January 1904. Then, the unimaginable happened five weeks later. Highly polished woodwork was in vogue during the Edwardian era. Wisconsin’s capitol had a bunch of it, and it had been just freshly varnished. Sometime late on the night of Feb. 26, a gas light fixture’s flame ignited the oil-based substance. The capitol had a remarkably advanced sprinkler and firefighting system for the time. But good as it was, it was no use. All that polished wood sent flames spreading in every direction. The building was fully engulfed in minutes. Madison’s fire department arrived, but when its hoses were pointed at the blaze, nothing happened. City water tanks had been drained earlier in the day so a boiler could be cleaned. There was no pressure. The nearby University of Wisconsin-Madison reservoir was also empty. An SOS was sent to Milwaukee and Jacksonville’s fire departments, whose units hopped aboard trains and sped to the scene. But when they arrived, the bitter cold temperature had frozen the water in their pumps. Gov. Robert LaFollete personally directed rescue efforts. Despite his staff’s attempts to hold him back, he repeatedly dashed into the burning structure along with University of Wisconsin students, recovering paintings, papers, furniture and anything

tem-based ocean planning model that leverages the best available data on natural resources, ocean industries like fisheries and energy production, and areas of national security activities to identify areas with high wind energy resource potential and fewer potential impacts to other ocean users and sensitive environmental resources, according to a release from BOEM. “This comprehensive approach provided valuable insights about the seascape and its uses and facilitated greater transparency and positive coordination with government partners and ocean stakeholders through direct engagement and incorporation of their feedback into the NCCOS model,” the BOEM stated.

On Aug.15, 2023, BOEM announced a public comment period on two draft WEAs located offshore southern Oregon. The draft WEAs covered approximately 219,568 acres, with their closest points to land ranging from approximately 18 – 32 miles. The draft WEAs represented a subset of the original 1,159,298 acres (1,811 square miles) that the Department of the Interior identified for public comment in April 2022. Since the start of the Biden-Harris administration, the Department of the Interior has approved the nation's first six commercial-scale offshore wind energy projects. BOEM has held four offshore wind lease auctions, which have brought in almost $5.5

Three hours later, Lafollette was soaked to the bone. His doctor ordered him to go home and change into dry clothes. The fire burned for 18 hours. When the final flames were snuffed out, there wasn’t much left. The building’s east and west wings were gone; little of the south wing and rotunda remained. Only the north wing survived, and Wisconsin’s government crowded into it. A new, bigger, grander capitol was finished in 1917. For an additional $800 annual premium, the old building would have been fully insured at the time of the fire. Instead, Wisconsin citizens were stuck with a $7.25 million bill (roughly $250 million today) for the replacement. Perhaps the most grieved item lost in the blaze was Old Abe’s taxidermic remains. It caused great sorrow among aging Civil War veterans. A replica of the famous warbird was placed on a perch inside the State Assembly chamber. It remains there today, a powerful symbol of Wisconsin’s illustrious past— and a visual reminder to lawmakers to avoid being penny-wise and pound-foolish, too. ABOUT THE WRITER J.

billion in high bids, including a record-breaking sale offshore New York and New Jersey and the first-ever sales offshore the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico coasts. BOEM officials said the agency is exploring additional opportunities for offshore wind energy development in the U.S., including in the Gulf of Maine and the U.S. Central Atlantic coast. The agency also continues to take steps to evolve its approach to offshore wind to drive towards union-built projects and a domestic-based supply chain.

Airport Heights Park improvements underway Local agencies will seek public input for future design

By BREE LAUGHLIN The World A large crowd gathered at the Airport Heights Park Playground for a groundbreaking ceremony, ready to embark on new and improved park. The Coos County Airport District and the Coos Bay-North Bend Rotary Club hosted the ceremonial groundbreaking at the playground to kick off the revitalization project on Thursday, Feb. 8. The two agencies are working together, with the support of many community partners, to redesign the park over the next several years. They will start with the removal of some play structures and the placement of new equipment at the playground. Representatives from the airport district and the rotary club said they

are excited to get the project off the ground. They hired Portlandbased ‘Ground Workshop’ to develop concepts and carry out the master plan for the 13-acre park and recreation area. The company is led by Tommy Solomon, who has 17-years of experience designing community-supported open spaces and inclusive play environments. Community members will also be invited to multiple open houses to give their input for the future design of the park. The new playground equipment will be installed over the next five weeks. While work is happening, the playground area will be temporarily closed. The rest of the park and trails will remain open to the public. In addition to the playground, the park includes an outdoor volleyball

area, a basketball court, tennis courts and baseball fields. The park is located inside the property boundaries of the airport district and has been in

place since the development of the Airport Heights neighborhood more than 40 years ago. Representatives from the Rotary said they formed a partnership

with the Airport District to improve the park because they saw it as an opportunity to continue to engage in projects that benefit youth and the community.
