The World

Bright and colorful pinwheels adorn the property the Kids’ Hope Center throughout the month of April.

This year, 306 pinwheels were placed into the ground at the Children’s Hope Center. Each pinwheels is a symbol of support for a child who has experienced abuse or severe neglect.

Community members and employees from local agencies came together for the pinwheel planting ceremony on Wednesday, April 5 to rec-

ognize that child abuse and neglect exists in Coos County, and to support the work of the Children’s Hope Center.

Bay Area Hospital President and CEO Brian Moore addressed the audience during the ceremony. “April is a month when Kids’ Hope Center raises awareness about National Child Abuse Prevention Month,” he said.

“Thank you for joining us today to help bring awareness to these issues and to support care in our local com-

Coos Bay graduate using her voice to win awards

Coos Bay graduate Glenda Villamar is winning awards for her work on a sci-fi fiction podcast.

The 1997 graduate of Marshfield High School just won Best Storyteller in a New Production and her podcast won Best New Storytelling Production in the 2022 Audio Verse Awards.

Villamar said her podcast, ‘Glenda Blasts Your Ear Off’ was chosen out of thousands of nominations for the award. The Audio Verse Awards are an annual celebration dedicated to the greatest people and productions in immersive audio fiction around the world.

Villamar’s “flash fiction” stories have gained a huge following and are available on major podcast platforms such as Apple Podcast and Amazon Music and iHeartRadio. The podcast also has its’ own website and YouTube channel.

“Through all the different platforms that it’s available, people really seem to be enjoying it,” Villamar said.

Voice artist Villamar narrates and produces the podcast with writer Josh Busch. They started collaborating together last May after working together on a separate project.

“Josh knew that I was also a narrator and training in narration at the time. He said, ‘If I write these crazy sci-fi short stories would you be interested in narrating them and doing it as a podcast?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, that sounds like a lot of fun.’”

The team incorporates sound design and engineering into their work.

“We like to throw music and sound effects into the production as I’m narrating the story to make it more immersive,” the narrator said.

They also try to limit their podcasts to about 15 minutes, so it’s convenient to listen to even on a work or school break. This style of podcast is similar, in a way, to old-time radio shows, Villamar said. The first ‘Glenda Blasts Your Ear Off’ episode, ‘Waiting,’ starts with what seems a normal trip to the grocery store that ends with a warrior woman buying a pair of monsters a bag of meat.

The Kingston Trio kicks off Oregon tour in Bandon

BY BREE LAUGHLIN

The World

The Kingston Trio – a universally-popular band withstanding the test of time – are now embarking on a tour through Oregon.

They kicked it all off in Bandon on Tuesday, April 11, at the Sprague Theater.

The Kingston Trio was one of the most prominent groups of the era's pop-folk boom that started in 1958.

Since its’ inception, the Kingston Trio has released 19 albums that made Billboard's Top 100, 14 of which ranked in the top 10, and five of which hit the number 1 spot.

The Kingston Trio had the audience up and dancing at their show at the Sprague Theater. They performed hit songs, “Where Have All The Flowers Gone?” and “Tom Dooley,” among others.

“Anybody who sees the show can see we are having a good time and we make it a point to have a good time,” said Mike Marvin, who performs in the Kingston Trio alongside fellow musicians Tim Gorelangton and Buddy Woodward.

“For two solid hours everyone in the room is having fun. The more fun the audience is having, the more fun we have – so it builds on itself. There’s

no question about that,” he said.

The band continues to carry on the tradition occupying a unique, preeminent position in American musical history. Their ‘Keep the Music Playing’ Nation- al tour marks 60-plus years playing music together.

munity... There are steps that individuals and organizations can take in order to safeguard our children. Fighting child abuse is not for any single entity to take on alone,” Moore said.

Kids’ Hope Center exists to reduce child abuse through community awareness, intervention, and to provide support for healing and victim justice.

“When children come here it is a neutral, safe space for them to come and tell their story,” said Julie Marshall, Interim program Director at the Kids' Hope Center.

“Additionally we offer

a lot of resources, from referrals to counseling to hygiene products or anything that helps families meet basic needs,” Marshall said.

Kids’ Hope Center serves the Coos County community at large — nearly 1,600 square miles stretching from Tenmile Lake to Bandon’s cranberry bogs. They serve families from all socioeconomic, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds, and provide education and advocacy to any community member without discrimination. The pinwheel nationally represents child abuse prevention and awareness month. Blue is the signature color, and many areas use blue pinwheels. But the local organization has chosen to use a variety of colorful pinwheels.

“For us that helps represent the kids that we see, because of all of our kids are not the same. They all come from various backgrounds and they are so diverse. We want to represent the individual,” Marshall said.

“So we have planted these colorful pinwheels for years. We plant one for every child we saw the previous year, and we keep them on our property throughout the month of April, as a way of recognizing these children,” she said.

Last year, Oregon’s marine mammal stranding network documented over 150 sick or dead sea lions on the coast with wildlife veterinarians confirming leptospirosis in all seven of the animals sampled and tested.

This naturally occurring bacteria is zoonotic meaning it can also infect people and put dogs, livestock, and other wildlife at risk. Leptospirosis is an ongoing problem throughout the West Coast where California sea lions and Stellar sea lions live.

ODFW recently received a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) grant to study this and similar zoonotic diseases in marine environments.

The grant also creates the Eastern Pacific Marine One Health Coalition for the marine mammal health community to connect, partner, and share information and data.

“We need to address wildlife disease threats before they cross the line from animals to humans and become pandemics,” said Dr. Julia Burco, ODFW wildlife veterinarian and lead investigator on this project. Burco highlights a recent example of this with avian influenza.

“This new strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus that’s been moving widely throughout wild birds and backyard poultry flocks is now starting to cause notable mortalities in some marine mammals in other parts of the world such as Caspian seals, Peruvian sea lions, and New England harbor and grey whales,” Burco said.

Burco believes the Coalition’s diverse experts and members will help ODFW tackle complex marine animal health issues in the Eastern Pacific – some of which have the potential to affect people – and help wildlife through early detection and fast

“It’s universal music.

It’s storytelling music,” said Marvin. There have been 12 members of the Kings-

ton Trio throughout the bands’ history. The latest members all have connections to original members of the group. Mike Marvin is the adopted son of founding member Nick Reynolds, who was also his musical mentor.

Through changing times, the Trio has played on. They said their music remains popular for a simple reason.

They play great songs that sound as good today as the first time you heard them.

“There is something about this music that is extraordinarily appealing to everybody,” Marvin said.

“Every now and then, some 15-year-old kid will show up having never heard the music and having no understanding of the music,

and ends up having a visceral reaction. Three years later that kid is 19 years old and shows back up at the show with a guitar, wants it signed, and knows all of the songs,” Marvin said. “This happens.”

The Eastern Pacific Marine One Health Coalition recently held its first of two annual workshops with the hope of these continuing beyond the grant funding timeline.

The group began working on ways to effectively share information, samples, and expertise. This will help create long-term datasets and encourage working together to understand critical issues such as the impacts of people and climate change on marine mammal health in the Eastern Pacific

Villamar said she considers the podcast to be a hobby or side-gig. But she also considers voice work to be her creative talent.

Her first official voice work was as a deejay at her college radio station. She also voice-recorded college textbooks for students who are visually impaired.

Villamar recalls using her voice as far back as when she attended Coos Bay’s Sunset Middle School and Marshfield High School.

EpiEcos investigator Dr. Terra Kelly is giving her expertise on zoonotic disease surveillance and data use to boost early disease threat detection.

Dennis Cook, who retired in 2003, was coaching basketball at the time he had Villamar in his English Class.

“I asked her to be the PA announcer for the ball games to introduce the kids, and she did a play by play,” Cook said.

The retired teacher said it feels great to see former students going on to do neat things.

“It’s exciting. I just love getting the feedback, and hearing about her work with voice overs and reading audio books. She was very good with her voice, and not afraid to use it. She will speak out – and I’m sure that’s what has made her so good at her career,” Cook said.

The USFWS grant runs through October 2024.

Her parents Pete and Nelda Villamar still live locally. Her husband, Jeremiah Oxford, also grew up in Coos Bay and her mother-in-law Kerry Oxford still lives there.

Villamar said she and her husband, who teaches geology at Western Oregon University, are both thankful to have grown up in Coos Bay and not a big city.

“We felt we got a great education and our instructors were really supportive. Even now, our teachers are cheering us on in all of our accomplishments, and I think that’s really nice,” she said.

The Bloody Attack of the Evil, Demonic Giraffe Puppet 7 pm, April 28th & 29th Sawdust Theatre

Coquille High School Drama Department “The Bloody Attack of the Evil, Demonic Giraffe Puppet”. Written by Bradley Walton, directed by Michael

Warncke. Show times: Friday, April 28th at 7 pm and Saturday, April 29th at 7 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm, admission is Free – Donations Graciously Accepted. Synopsis: Rupert, a socially-conscious teenager, sets out to make a documentary entitled “Materialism and the Decay of Morality in Postmodern Society.” He makes the mistake of recruiting assistance from other students at his high school and finds his production saddled with a militant vegan, an obsessive fan of Japanese comics, a redneck self-proclaimed movie expert, and others… all giving him terrible advice to which he doesn’t have the willpower to say “no”. Rupert’s serious documentary soon degenerates into a cheesy slasher flick called “The Bloody Attack of the Evil, Demonic Giraffe Puppet: The Leprechauns Strike Back”. Unfortunately, Rupert has already entered the movie in a documentary film contest under its original title.

HOLY COW! HISTORY: The Real Reason a Minister Wrote the Pledge of Allegiance

Every morning, millions of children put their hands over their hearts and begin the school day with a simple recitation. It’s been done for 130 years and is as much a part of American culture as apple pie and the Fourth of July.

Did you know more than patriotism was behind the Pledge of Allegiance’s creation?

A master wordsmith penned the famous words for an unlikely reason — it was a clever marketing gimmick with a hidden purpose.

It started with Francis Bellamy.

Born into a devoutly Baptist family in Upstate New York, his minister father died before Bellamy was 10. The boy followed in his dad’s footsteps, studying theology and entering the ministry in the 1880s.

Much social experimentation was underway back then, and Bellamy evolved into something of a socialist Baptist. The problem was his congregations in New York and Massachusetts weren’t on board. As a result, he was bounced from

church to church.

Dissatisfied with the ministry, he switched to a new line. The Youth’s Companion was a popular magazine in the Victorian Era. It instructed good girls and boys on ways to become even “gooder.” Bellamy got a job in its premium division.

For several years, The Youth’s Companion had sold U.S. flags to readers with the goal of placing one in every classroom. That, it was believed, would instill American values in youngsters. And the magazine made money from those sales, too.

Patriotism and profits combined nicely for publisher Daniel Ford.

But by 1892, sales were slumping. Flags were on the walls in 26,000 schools around the country. Ford believed still more juice could be squeezed from this fruit. But how?

History came to the rescue.

With perfect timing, 1892 happened to be the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the New World. The Youth’s Companion pushed

for a Columbian Public School Celebration to mark the occasion — and to sell more school flags, too. Bellamy was tasked with making both happen.

He jumped into his new mission with evangelistic fervor. He promoted the event to a national convention of school superintendents. They liked the idea so much that they created a special committee to get local schools involved, with Bellamy as its chairman. All agreed the U.S. flag was central to the celebration.

But a nagging problem remained: How to get schools that hadn’t bought flags to purchase them.

Then inspiration hit. Bellamy proposed a Pledge of Allegiance to the flag to be recited by all American students on the same day.

Bellamy sat down at a desk and picked up a pen. Two hours later, his 23-word masterpiece was finished. The original Pledge said: “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice

Guest Column

A Word, Please: The spcace bar?

By June Casagrande

Nothing says “This was written by an amateur” like … nothing. White space. Blank space. The number of times you hit that long button at the bottom of a keyboard.

Knowing when to insert a space can give your writing top-tier professional polish. Sound like a goal? Here are five pro tips for using the space bar.

1. Single space between sentences.

The question of whether to put one space or two after a period or other terminal punctuation mark is hotly debated and highly controversial. That’s ridiculous. There’s no controversy here.

For decades, the professional publishing world has followed the standard of using just one space between sentences. That’s true for both book publishing and news media. Even longtime holdout the Modern Language Association, which guides students on how to write papers, now agrees, saying the only time you would put two spaces between sentences is when your teacher or professor prefers it.

2. Put a space before an ellipsis.

An ellipsis, a series of three dots that indicate that words were cut out or someone trailed off mid-thought, is always preceded by a space … like this. But if you’ve ever looked closely, you might have noticed that sometimes it sure looks like the first dot touches the word in front of it. Sometimes it even looks like there are four dots, not three, and the first one touches the word before it. I can explain.

When the text before an ellipsis is a complete sentence, the rules say you end that sentence with a period. Then you insert a space and then the threedot ellipsis. … Computers often reformat this series to make it look like four dots in a row, with no spaces between them. But in fact, what you’re seeing is period, space, period, period, period. So technically there’s still a space in front of the ellipsis. When the stuff before the ellipsis is not a complete sentence, don’t add the extra period. Just space, dot, dot, dot.

3. Know when to space around dashes.

An em dash — the long mark that separates parts of a sentence — should have a space before and after it in newswriting. But books and magazines follow a different style, which calls for no spaces. In those instances, the em dash should touch the word on either side. If you don’t need to follow either style, you can pick your preference. Just make sure you’re consistent. And never attach a dash to the word before it but not to the word after. Use two spaces or no spaces.

4. Know when to space between initials.

If you’re like me, you’re used to seeing no spaces between initials: U.S. Army, M.F.K. Fisher. But if you look closely, you’ll notice that books don’t always do it this way, at least not for initials representing people’s names.

“Initials standing in for given names are followed by a period and a space,” advises the Chicago Manual of Style, which applies to most book publishing. So if you’re following Chicago style, you’d write D. B. Cooper or M. F. K. Fisher with spaces after each period. But you would use no space in abbreviations for non-personal names, like U.S. If you’re not following Chicago style, do as the news outlets do and dispense with the spaces.

5. Check a dictionary for spacing between words.

Health care or healthcare? Cell phone or cellphone? First-hand or firsthand? Check-up or checkup? There’s no set rule. Some terms are two words, some are closed compounds, some are hyphenated, some offer multiple correct options. To find out if a space belongs in a compound, check the dictionary for the one-word form first, then the hyphenated form. If neither is in there, make it two words.

for all.”

The Pledge appeared in the Sept. 8, 1892, edition of The Youth’s Companion. The gimmick worked. It’s pretty hard to say the Pledge without a flag (wink, wink). The desire to be part of the big event spurred the holdout schools to purchase Old Glory. The magazine sold thousands more flags.

And on October 21 of that year, millions of students recited the Pledge in unison for the very first time. There was something else, too. The original Pledge was said with students standing and giving the “Bellamy Salute,” the traditional Roman salute from the time of Caesar. That worked fine in 1892. But by the 1920s and ’30s, first Fascists in Italy and later Nazis in Germany were using the same salute, but with a sinister meaning. When the U.S. entered World War II, kids standing with outstretched arms wasn’t such a good idea. So in 1942, Congress amended the Flag Code to say the Pledge should be recited the

way we know it today, with the right hand over the heart.

In fairness, Bellamy sincerely believed his efforts instilled “Americanism” in kids living amid a flood of “alien immigration.” But he also put a lot of bucks in publisher Ford’s pockets, too.

Bellamy seems to have had a change of heart toward money himself. He switched from socialist to capitalist and enjoyed a lucrative career as a forerunner to Madison Avenue “Madmen,” promoting business giants Westinghouse and Allied Chemicals.

The Pledge underwent changes over the years, too, the biggest being in 1954 when Congress added the now familiar words “under God.”

Today, 47 states require it to be recited during the school day. People know the short, direct-to-the-point Pledge better than the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Those 31 simple words remind us of the essence of what America

is all about, and reciting it daily unites us as a nation.

Sure, the original idea was based on the desire to make a few bucks. But the Pledge also produced a lot of good over the years, and that is, in the words of another successful advertisement gimmick, priceless.

Letter to the Editor

Stand up for vets

Our disabled veterans are grossly undercompensated. Why?

Since June of 2009 our disabled veterans, their advocates and their family and friends have contacted Congress and/or various Administrations daily asking for fair and adequate compensation. So far there has not been significant action on this issue. The COLA that they receive every year is not sufficient. Our government simply does not respond. There is nothing but silence from Congress or the Administration on this issue.

I am warning anyone and everyone who reads this. Once our young people become fully aware that if they should enlist in the armed forces and subsequently receive serious injuries or illnesses that they will spend their rest of their lives in near poverty as disabled veterans then at that point our armed forces will disintegrate. In fact, this is already starting to happen. Enlistments have fallen off precariously. This is a very serious national security situation. The fact is that huge Elitist greed is putting all of us in very real danger.

Here is the raw data.

In FY2023 a totally disabled veteran with no dependents is compensated at the ridiculous rate of $43,463.40 dollars annually. The National Average Wage Index (NAWI) for 2021 was $60,575.07 dollars per annum and the median income for 2021 was $70,784. The per capita GDP in 2021 was $69,288 dollars, among the highest in the world. This rate of compensation to disabled veterans is deliberate and cruel especially considering that we live in the wealthiest nation that ever was.

Disabled veterans have been asking various Administrations and Congresses for fair compensation since the end of WWI in November 1918. That was 104 years ago!

This longstanding abuse must end now. Congress must compensate these broken former troops properly. This is a national disgrace.

Tax the investment wealth of the Investor Class that received the most benefit from the protection afforded to them by our troops who are now broken and compensate disabled veterans fairly. At the present time they contribute virtually nothing to the disabled veterans who protected Investor Class interests at great cost to themselves.

Be warned!

Thank you so much

For more than four years, I watched his health and quality of life decline until he finally had had enough and chose hospice. In less than 24 hours, he was gone. He chose his way out, and for his sake, I'm thankful, but the pain I'm feeling is incredible. Each person grieves in their own way in their own time, and my friends and family have been amazing. I know Charles would want me to live my best life, and to honor him, which is exactly what I plan to do. The amount of paper and legal work is suffocating, but we are all getting through it. During this time, I had expected to lean on our precious dog for comfort, but now he also will be taken from me. The vet just diagnosed him with liver cancer, and he has maybe four months to live. I'm numb and feel like a stranger in my own body. I know I'm strong enough to grieve them both, but at the same time, I am scared to death of being single again (note I didn't say alone, because I am not). Please give me some guidance.

TOTALLY LOST RIGHT NOW

DEAR TOTALLY LOST:

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. That your dog you were depending upon for support through this difficult time is now terminally ill has only added to your pain. It's understandable that you feel disoriented and numb. You WILL work your way through this. The passage of time helps.

That you are not alone now is a blessing. Be glad you have the estate to settle because it will help you stay busy and, for short periods of time, will keep you focused on something other than the ache you are feeling. Do NOT jump into a new romance because you are afraid of being single! You will make your way through this by being patient with yourself and allowing your friends to step up
