Coquille pool opening signals start to summer fun

BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

For many Coquille residents, the opening of the community pool marks the unofficial start to the summer. Families flocked to the Coquille Community Swimming Pool for the season opening over Memorial Day Weekend. The outdoor 25-yard swimming pool is heated at 86 degrees Fahrenheit. The water depth ranges from a zero-depth entry to 4-feet deep. The pool has a variety of fun features including a winding water channel, a water slide and fountain toys to play in.

While it’s often the children who make the biggest splash – there are activities at the pool for adults too.

“This is where everybody spends their summer,” said Coquille Community Swimming Pool Manager Suzie

Free camp teaches children to perform in a musical

BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

Local children are being invited to join a free day camp hosted by the Emmanuel Episcopal Church that will immerse them in a musical production.

The “Create Your Own Musical” camp will be held from June 19 to 30 and is open to children who will be entering second-grade through fifthgrade.

The two-week long camp will teach children about song and dance, along with the

fundamentals of music.

“We start out by teaching them the names of the notes and a couple of scales. At the same time, we talk about the story behind the musical and creating a dialogue for the story,” said Kate Moody, one of the camp instructors.

Moody is a musical composer and has taught similar camps in the past.

“I’m a composer. I write music. When I began teaching private piano lessons in the 90s, besides teaching children how to read music on the page, I also taught them

about creativity,” Moody said.

Using the Creative Method, campers create and perform dialogue, lyrics, music, and choreography for a short musical.

Musical experience is great,

New campsites and onsite market open in Winchester Bay

BY BREE LAUGHLIN

The World Douglas County Commissioners and local officials celebrated the opening of the North Loop at the Umpqua Dunes RV Park with a ribbon cutting on Tuesday, May 23.

The project more than doubles the amount of campsites available at the County-owned facility in Winchester Bay. The newly opened camping loop also features group sites, five new cabins and a new commercial retail and market facility.

“We are excited to create an opportunity that really hasn’t existed in Douglas County before for dunes enthusiasts,” said Douglas County Commissioner Chris Boice during the ribbon cutting ceremony.

Campers can access

the dunes right from the park. With the addition of an onsite market, campers will have all the amenities they need, Boice said.

The new commercial facility includes laundry, a convenience store with snacks, cold drinks and pizza. It also has

riding gear and supplies available.

The family that is leasing the market also operates the Pelican Plaza building just off Highway 101 in Winchester Bay.

“We are fortunate to have a family that has been in this industry run

this business,” Boice said. Brothers Jeff and Steve Bailey said they are excited to open the store at the RV Park.

“We made it into a one stop shop,” Jeff More Umpqua Dunes on page 3

Thiebaud reported that pool staff are also raising money for the final phase installation of an additional lap pool onsite that will

The camp will meet Monday through Friday mornings for the two week period with a performance on the last day. Funds for the camp come from a grant from the Emmanuel Episcopal Church. Moody reported that the adults teaching the camp

be placed next to the current one.

Pool staff keep an updated calendar outlining the dates and times of pool activities. Visitors who use the pool are expected to adhere to safety and cleanliness guidelines outlined by pool staff.

The Coquille Public Pool is located behind the Coquille Community Building at 117 N. Birch St. For more informa-

are all certified in safe guidelines from the Episcopal Church.

Camp instructor Moody said she wants children to take away a little understanding of music, to have a fun time and to gain a sense of accomplishment. She said after a camp like this many parents start to recognize that their child has learned something valuable in the fundamentals of music.

“It’s more than just singing notes – I’m singing an F or I’m singing an A. It’s more of a language,” Moody said.

“It’s something chil-

Bailey said. The Baileys brought a lot of popular items from their original store to the new location. They said they like the atmosphere being at an RV park, and tend to go out of their way for customers.

“Customer satisfaction is big for us after 30 years of doing this. People really appreciate that,” Steve Bailey said.

Commissioner Boice thanked the Baileys during the Ribbon

Cutting Ceremony, as well as his fellow commissioners, the parks department and Douglas County law enforcement. He also reported that Morello Construction, which won the bid on both the South and North Loop campground projects, had done a great job.

Boice said the County used a significant amount of grant funds for the original land acquisition on the parcel formerly known as Discovery Park in 2018,

as well as the South Loop campsites which opened in 2020 and the recently completed North Loop renovation projects. The majority of the project is now finished and open to the public. The new cabins are slated to be open in time for the Fourth of July holiday.

PEG Broadcast Services Inc. was recently awarded a $500 grant for community services from the city of North Bend. Peg Broadcast and the Coos Community Media Center operate the local public access and government television channel. The North Bend City Council annually awards limited funds via grants to community groups and projects. This

is done in connection with North Bend’s budget process. The funds are, in essence, state funds the City receives as its portion of the Oregon revenue sharing to cities. Part of the Council’s criteria in considering grant applications is whether a particular community group or project helps cut the need for public assistance or aids one of our municipal departments.

Grand Opening! Family Martinez

Miller Barbara “Bobbi” Joy

August 5, 1958 – February 27, 2023

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Barbara “Bobbi” Joy Miller, age 64, from Reedsport, Oregon. She left us on February 27, 2023, surrounded by her immediate family lovingly by her side. Bobbi was born in Seattle, Washington on August 5th, 1958 to Gehart and Gladys Reitan. She was a 1976 graduate of Evergreen High School in Seattle, Washington. After graduating, Bobbi married David Miller and raised two daughters together while living in Reedsport, Oregon. Though they separated later in life, Bobbi and David remained as close family, adoring their daughters and grandchildren.

Bobbi was employed by Price n’ Pride/McKay’s market for many years before finding her passion as a Respiratory Therapist at Lower Umpqua Hospital. Bobbi lived life to the fullest by enjoying walks on the beach, spending time with her dogs, hiking, camping, playing cribbage with her friends, an “occasional” trip the casino, and a few adventures in her motorhome. She sought for a simple life and could always be counted on for laughter, hugs, and her amazing “it is what it is” mentality in life.

Bobbi is survived by her two daughters, Jamie (James) Atwood and Jodie (Erik) Hoberg; five grandchildren, Sahalie, Lexie, Levi, Sophia and Reese; her three siblings, Cindi (Merv) Winkle, Patricia Proo and Sally Ford; devoted and long-

time friend, Ned Russell; and some very special nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, Gehart and Gladys Reitan; brothers-in-law, Dave Ford and Richard Proo; and niece, Christina Weaver.

“Big Grama” will be missed by many… Family, friends and loved ones are all invited to join us for a Celebration of Life at the Blue Box in Winchester Bay, Oregon on Saturday, July 22, 2023 from 2-4 pm.

The Chamber Minute: Always be grateful

Welcome, almost, to the summer of 2023. Today we are going to focus on gratitude. So, what is it? Gratitude is showing appreciation for and returning kindness. What experiences have you had which you are grateful for? Did you express that gratitude?

I know for me, one such person was my scoutmaster Mr. Follas. He taught me the basic elements of working as a team, striving for excellence and how to lead. As an adult I had

the chance to convey my appreciation to him, which made all the difference for him and for me.

Let me share a story with you about a veteran’s car and a son’s keepsake. Justin Rozier of Moore, Texas, really cherished anything his father once had. As he approached getting a driving permit, he mentioned to his mother that he would really like any vehicle his dad once owned. Dad was an army officer

killed in Iraq when Justin was 9 months old. His mom was forced to sell dad’s 1999 Celica to help make ends meet. While there was not much hope in finding it after all these years, she thought she had to try. As she said, “I have seen magical things happen on Facebook”. So she posted both the VIN number of the car and the reason she was seeking it.

In northeastern Utah

Kyle Fox, a veteran himself, was captured

by the story. He actually located the car and, with several of his friends, bought it. They then got a volunteer army of mechanics and body men to restore it as close to new as they could. On Justin’s 15th birthday, they drove the car to Texas to give it to him. Justin was actually speechless. His mouth was open, but no words came out, as he sat in the car. Now he had a chance to remember something about dad, that he never knew. For

mom it was a chance to welcome home her husband, which she couldn’t do before. Both were extremely grateful. Kyle and his team were also grateful for making a difference. Gratitude is important to both the giver and the receiver.

Step one in this process is to acknowledge those things you are thankful for. When you are looking for good, it can change your whole outlook on the day.

So, here’s a homework assignment for this week. Put 10 nickels in your left pocket. Every time you see something you are thankful for, like a soft chair or a flat fixed or a cup of coffee given to you, move one nickel to your right pocket. Having seen all those

blessings, step two is to do something to show your gratitude. Our time, on earth, to show our gratitude is limited. So do it now!

The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 09/07/2023 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR:

• 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR • AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TO-MONTH OR WEEK-TO-WEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’s-length transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD

PROPERTY

ANY PAYMENTS YOU

MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT

You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE

The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU.

Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes; has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under

NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL

TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 09/15/2023 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes

through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: • 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR • AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TO-MONTH OR WEEK-TO-WEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’slength transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale.

ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do

this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord.

ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLO-

SURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.

Guest Column Opinion

CDC Was Off Mission When COVID Hit; That’s Why They Got It So Wrong

By CHRIS WOODWARD InsideSources.com

How does an agency named the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fail to “control or prevent” a pandemic like COVID-19?

Because it was off-mission, said Dr. Brian Miller with the American Enterprise Institute. Instead of intensely focusing on tracking communicable diseases and fighting infections, the agency wandered into “woke” issues like fighting racism and advocating gun control. When a novel coronavirus hit, the CDC wasn’t ready.

Miller, who is also a practicing hospitalist at Johns Hopkins University, laid out his case at the Common Sense Public Health Roundtable hosted by InsideSources.

“Their mission has drifted,” Miller said, turning attention and resources to “things such as the environment, racism or gun violence.”

While acknowledging those are important issues, Miller notes they are far afield from the CDC’s responsibilities.

“Take environmental health and climate change, for example,”

Miller said. “Would you like the CDC focusing on that? Or would you like the Environmental Protection Agency, which is the foremost environmental regulator?”

The CDC’s record of failures during the pandemic has been well documented. When the COVID-19 strain was first detected in the United States in January 2020, the CDC was slow to act. It refused to allow private labs to create a COVID test, instead sending out its

own flawed version in early February. Weeks of valuable testing data were lost before the CDC reversed its position, allowing labs to create their own tests.

“The CDC wanted to have an internally developed and managed test rather than serving as a coordinated nexus and center for the development of university-developed tests, private physicians and labs developing tests,” Miller said. “The CDC sort of lost its focus and ability to serve as a guidance, logistics and strategy organization.”

That view is similar to that of former Food and Drug Administration director Scott Gottlieb, author of “Uncontrolled Spread.” He wrote that when the agency finally relented and allowed other organizations to make tests, “It would be weeks before commercial manufacturers could get access to the (virus) samples they needed, and they’d mostly have to go around the CDC.”

Another glaring failure was the CDC’s lack of trustworthy guidance to both medical providers and the general public.

Miller spent the pandemic months treating patients on COVID-only hospital floors and in COVID-screening clinics.

When he would seek guidance from the CDC on a specific question, such as, ‘How many days should a patient remain isolated after leaving the hospital, what are the appropriate therapeutics, etc.,’ the CDC’s information was either dated, late upon arrival or, worse, it didn’t have the data.

Then there was what Gottlieb called the agency’s “single most costly intervention,” the

6-foot distancing rule, which was used to keep schools closed months longer than necessary. The CDC didn’t update its guidance to 3 feet until March 2021, months after widely available evidence showed 3 feet of distance was more than sufficient.

“Probably the single costliest recommendation that CDC made — that you had to maintain 6 feet of distance — that wasn’t based on good judgment, and good science was ultimately changed,” Gottlieb told CBS News.

Some education experts now warn the damage from two years of lost classroom learning may never be undone.

Can the CDC be fixed?

“Superficial reforms will not fix it,” said Jane M. Orient of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. “There needs to be topto-bottom housecleaning to eliminate conflicts of interest and political agendas and focus solely on infectious disease control.”

Instead, said Miller, in the years leading up to the COVID-19 outbreak, “the CDC wanted to remain in the news. It wanted to be an important public policy voice, and, as a consequence, its mission drifted.

“But having an organization that is trying to be all things to all people all the time means that it cannot perform its basic functions, as we discovered during the pandemic.”

ABOUT THE WRITER

Chris Woodward writes about industry and technology for InsideSources.com.

By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

The Founding Fathers were a quiltwork of conflicting personalities. George Washington was dignified and coolly aloof. Thomas Jefferson went around with his head in the clouds. John Adams was perpetually looking for someone to argue with. Bookish James Madison was a brain with arms and legs attached.

The Franklin History Forgot J.

Then there was Benjamin Franklin. He was, someone once observed, the Founder you’d want to have a beer with. Artists who painted him caught the sly twinkle in his eyes and the hint of playful mischief lurking behind them.

Statesman, scientist, diplomat, author, inventor, businessman … his accomplishments made him a genius in his or any century. Franklin was also a ladies’ man. He made no secret of his attraction to them and was catnip to them in return. Difficult as it is to believe today, Ben Franklin — old, pudgy, balding, glasses-wearing Ben — was a babe magnet well into old age. As ambassador to France, it was fashionable among Parisian high society for ladies of the court to flirt with the then 70-something envoy from the far side of the Atlantic.

His flings sometimes produced more than memories. Stories have floated around for decades (especially in Philadelphia, where it seems tour guides gleefully passed them along) that he fathered anywhere from 13 to 80 illegitimate children.

The truth, as so often happens, was nowhere nearly as salacious. We do know he was the Baby Daddy to one, and perhaps two, kids out of wedlock. While that would have qualified him to appear on “The Jerry Spring Show,” it hardly makes him the insatiable Satyr of legend.

One documented offspring is of particular interest because he spent his life directly opposing the very cause to which his famous father was dedicated.

Ben Franklin paid more than lip service to American independence by traveling far and

wide on its behalf at an advanced age. Yet at the same time, his son remained militantly loyal to England. This is the story of William Franklin.

He was born in Philadelphia in 1730 when Ben was in his 20s. His mother’s identity has never been discovered. When Ben began his common-law marriage to Deborah Reed, she took William into the household and raised him. He called her “mother” all his life.

He put on a military uniform at age 16, rose to captain, and was at his dad’s side during Franklin’s famous kite experiment (proving lightning and electricity are the same thing).

He became engaged to a Philadelphia doctor’s daughter, then sailed to London to study law where. Like a chip off the old block, he fathered an illegitimate child of his own. (More on him in a minute.) He also jilted his fiancée back home and married another woman.

The Franklins settled in New Jersey. He partnered with his father to pursue land grants in the colonies’ frontier. William was named governor of the New Jersey Colony in 1763. He was an able administrator who, over the next 14 years, supported the creation of Rutgers University, eliminated debtors’ prison, and pardoned 105 women jailed for adultery. Not a bad record.

But friction was brewing as the push for independence grew stronger. Ben was an ardent patriot; William a devout loyalist. The father-son relationship grew increasingly strained until the two finally split. A famous historian noted, “(William) did not abandon Benjamin, but Benjamin abandoned him.”

William was a devout member of the Church of England. The Crown had been good to him. Besides, he couldn’t afford to live without his royal salary.

Imprisoned for two years, he was released in a prisoner swap, moved to New York City, and became a leader of the loyalist resistance to the Revolution. While his father did all he could for American freedom, the

Mark Powell

younger Franklin recruited pro-British military units and worked with spy rings to squelch it.

William sailed for England (permanently) when his dad’s side eventually won. His wife had died while he was jailed, and in 1788 he married a rich Irish widow.

Father and son never patched things up. William wrote to his dad in 1784, hoping for a reconciliation. Benjamin sent a lukewarm reply.

The two met one final time the following year. Benjamin stopped in London on his way home from France. It was short, businesslike, and involved a third generation of the Franklin family.

Remember William’s illegitimate son? Ben met the boy and raised him, just as his wife had done for his own illegitimate child. Benjamin developed a deep affection for William Temple Franklin, perhaps transferring to him the love he no longer gave his son.

Temple (as he was called) not only shared his grandfather’s politics but also served as his personal secretary. In that last meeting in London, Benjamin, now 80, got William to transfer land in New York to his own son to settle a debt William still owed his famous dad.

When Ben Franklin died six years later, his countrymen greatly mourned him. William Franklin died quietly in exile 23 years later. His London grave was lost over the years. Appropriate, perhaps, for a man whose legacy was swept under the rug of history for being on the losing side.

Reedsport Main Street Program receives $200,000 grant.

Oregon Heritage, a division of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, awarded 27 matching grants worth $5 million to Oregon Main Street Network organizations across the state for building projects that encourage economic revitalization.

The department funded applications that best conveyed the ability to stimulate private investment and local economic development, best fit within the community’s long-range plan for downtown vitality, and community need.

The Reedsport Main Street Program will receive $200,000 in matching funds for roofs, awnings, electrical and plumbing improvements to seven commercial buildings in downtown Reedsport.

Funded projects include:

HEATING SYSTEM – Post Office

301 Fir Avenue

Currently leased by the U.S. Post Office, the property has had exterior repair through a previous Revitalization Grant. The property is owned by Dr. Robert Mans who plans to replace the heating system with this current grant cycle.

ROOF– 302 Rainbow Plaza formerly the Ice House

This property is rumored to have

occupied the first Icehouse in Reedsport. The 2023 Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant will assist with a roof replacement. Owners Jill Nelson and Robb Crocker, with Opportas LLC, plan to restore the apartments upstairs, which will have breathtaking views, and reopen the main floor to a commercial retail space.

AWNING– Welcome Hotel 339 Fir Avenue

The historic Welcome Hotel was purchased in 2019 by Robb Crocker, who grew up in Reedsport and returned to reinvest in his hometown. He restored the entire exterior of the building and renovated 10 upstairs apartments and two street level commercial spaces. With this grant cycle, he plans to replace the metal awning to restore the look of the Welcome Hotel of when it was originally constructed in 1925.

AWNING, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING – 417 Fir Avenue & 242 4th Street

Mindpower Gallery will be expanding its retail space and adding new services with the renovation within these two adjoining properties. With the grant assistance, owners Tara Szalewski and Tamara Szalewski plan to add a new awning to the 4thStreet

property, as well as updating electrical and plumbing in the interior renovation of the two properties. Mindpower Gallery has operated out of 417 Fir Avenue for over 30 years. With the addition of the 4th Street property, it will allow them to expand their service offerings.

ROOF– 485 Greenwood Avenue

Formerly the Three Rivers Rebekah Lodge #240, this property was constructed in 1942. Owner Kirk Collier plans to utilize the grant for roof repair.

ROOF- 489 – 495 Fir Avenue

This property has been known as the Old Bank Building for many, many years. It has housed a variety of businesses including a local newspaper. Owner Marilyn Reece-Sullivan plans replace the roof during this grant cycle.

ROOF- 776 E Railroad Avenue

The former Umpqua Industrial Supply Co. sits on the far west side of Reedsport’s Historic District. In 2021, young entrepreneur and local contractor, Bruce Girard, purchased the property which had sat vacant for seven years. Bruce grew up in Reedsport and wants to give back to his hometown by improving his community and offering retail space to others. With

the 2023 Oregon Revitalization Grant, he plans to replace the roof. Additional restorations will follow later.

The grant program was created during the 2015 legislative session and placed with the Oregon State Historic Preservation Office. The legislation established a permanent fund for the Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant and provided an initial infusion of funds from the sale of lottery bonds. The legislature included the Oregon Main Street Revitalization Grant in the lottery bond package approved in 2021. If funded by the 2023 state legislature, there will be future grant rounds in the 24 -25 biennium. The funds must be used to award grants to participating Oregon Main Street Network organizations to acquire, rehabilitate or construct buildings to facilitate community revitalization. The program also requires that at least 50 percent of the funds go to rural communities as defined in the bill.

AS I SEE IT

By Mary Schamehorn

We are so used to driving through City Park to get to Beach Loop that I had forgotten that there was no road through the park at one time. An article on the front page of the Oct. 30, 1924, Western World is headlined "Want Street Thru Park."

"A petition is being circulated by Edward Rauschert asking the city council to extend Eleventh street through the south end of the city park (first picture). His contention is that there should be a direct street from Oregon Avenue to the beach. He owns property near the corner of Oregon Avenue and Eleventh."

In those days, the highway through Bandon was known as Oregon Avenue, as it continued north down the hill (past the Catholic church) as the main highway into town.

Ed Rauschert owned a service station on the corner of Eleventh and Oregon Avenue, which may have been the corner that Gene Bifano later purchased. He was a relative of Missy Rauschert Hagopian of Bandon.

"The proposal is not meeting with the approval of the people who some years ago were instrumental in securing the park property from private owners. They say that though the park has been used for a ball ground, the original intention of the people was to have a piece of land, suitable in every way, that could be used for a city park

for all time. To replace the property at this time would seem to be impossible while the cost would be several times the cost of the park in the first place.

"Old timers particularly resent the attempt to cut a swath through the park for a street. As it stands the park can be better laid out for any purpose in which it might be put and the friends fear that cutting a road through it will be the entering wedge that will eventually mean the dismemberment of the property.

"A remonstrance is being prepared and that will be given wide circulation."

Not sure whether this was the year that the street opened through city park, but it's been there as long as I can remember.

An item in the same issue of the paper was headlined "Installing Resaw."

"Reed Gallier and Charles Davis are installing a resaw in the old woolen mill building (second photo) and will saw stock for the planer operated in the same building by the Perry Veneer company. They will probably get their timber from the C. and C. mill on Second street. It will come to them in the shape of six by sixes or a similar size and will be cut to the proper thickness by the new equipment. The high-speed planer will then reduce it to the battery separators that find a ready market in the East. The new mill will be operated by a 40 h.p. motor using power from the city system."

I have chosen the third picture of a small Coast Guard boat crossing the bar to illustrate the next story titled "Bandon Gets Rum Runner." The Oct. 16, 1924, Western World reported that a U.S. Coast Patrol boat would make the Coquille River its home port.

"A 75-foot patrol boat to assist in running down smugglers and booze boats will make Bandon bar home port after Dec. 15.

"She will be under command of a man from the Navy and will have a crew of eight men, some of whom will be drawn from the local coast guard station, but the two branches of the service will be separate and distinct. They will however cooperate with each other in the apprehension of smugglers and rum-runners.

"She will be too small and of too light draft to stand much weather but will be able to put to sea in any weather that the booze boats can land in.

"The vessel is one of 75 that are being built for use of the revenue department on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Two of them are under construction at San Francisco and 15 of them on the Sound. The reason for building these vessels instead of using the larger sub-chasers that the government has on hand lies in the economy of operation on the smaller boats. Coos Bay will have two of the boats.

"This activity in the matter of running down the rum-runners is occasioned merely by the fact that goods are com-

ing into the country without paying duty. It would make no difference if it were mineral water, the internal revenue department would be on the job to collect the import duty just the same.

"It is expected that under the terms of the new agreement between the U.S. and the British government the capture and confiscation of cargoes of liquor will show a heavy increase, and in this work the new Bandon boat will have an important part to play."

My relatives, who were visiting for the weekend from the state of Washington, told me Friday about a rollover accident that had occurred the previous night about 9 o'clock on the South Jetty parking lot. They had heard sirens and saw police cars go by their home, and could tell that something was going on at the jetty.

They got there in time to see that a vehicle had turned over in the parking lot, which others say had just been graveled and smoothed out that very day in preparation for the summer season.

Officer Zach Carpenter of the Bandon Police Department cited Brendon Smith, 20, for careless driving as a result of the rollover wreck. Police Chief Cory Dhillon told me that the driver was

evaluated by medics, but he was unsure if the driver suffered any injuries.

The news had spread rapidly through the community Tuesday about noon that what appeared to be a fatal accident had just occurred on Highway 101, near the turnoff to the Beaver Hill Disposal site and the Charleston cutoff, north of Bandon.

It was not until sev-

Their vehicle had been struck by a black Nissan Titan, operated by Heriberto Morado Ledesma, 35, of Coos Bay, who was accompanied by Hector Mireles Gallo, 35, and Alberto Ramirez Vazquez, 40, both of Coos Bay. They were transported by ambulance to the hospital for treatment and further medical evaluation.

Ledesma had been cited two days earlier for DUI with a blood alcohol content of .19%, but because there were no other charges, he was released to a sober driver, which is the policy of law enforcement agencies.

I've learned of several deaths with ties to local people, including the fact that long-time Greenscapes Landscaping business owner Mike Greenway, 54, died recently. He and his former wife Michelle operated a

nursery business for several years south of town where Mast Bros. shop is now located.

I also learned that Bill Will, who apparently lived in Reedsport and was a member of the Class of 1961, died last week. He was 79. His mother taught school in Bandon when they lived here.

Also Fay Whiting, who was married to the late Dr. Ed Whiting, and had lived in Bandon, died in Eugene April 23 at the age of 89. Dr. Whiting died in January.

I just saw that Sunset Motel, which was originally built by Herbert Brown and his son Vern shortly after the Bandon Fire of 1936 has been listed with Fred Gernandt at David L. Davis Real Estate for $16,500,000. I understand Fred's son, Ben, will be assisting his father with the listing. The motel has been owned by the Brown family, through daughter Judy Brown Densmore, since it was built. Both Herbert Brown and his granddaughter, Judy Densmore, are former mayors of Bandon.

This is only one of many Bandon businesses for sale, and next week I will let you know of the others that are now on the market.

Don't forget that this Saturday, June 3, is the first of the chamber-sponsored Bandon Art Walks, from 4:20 to 7. Contact the chamber for more information.

Friday night's first of the Alive After Five wine walks, sponsored by the Greater Bandon Association, was a big success. The second one is set for June 16, with another on tap for the Fourth of July. Hours are 5 to 7, with glasses sold for $10 at the Port's picnic shelter.

Dear Abby Abigail Van Buren

By

DEAR UNHAPPY:

I am 76. My husband and I planned our final wishes for cremation because I have had a lifelong fear of being buried underground. My children from my first marriage are Jewish and very much against cremation. When I told them my wishes, they attacked me with a barrage of negatives about cremation, such as, "You won't go to heaven," "You won't see your deceased mother or grandson in heaven," "We won't be able to say kaddish for you," etc., so I immediately changed my plans. My husband and I purchased side-by-side crypts, thinking it was an acceptable alternative.

I was wrong. For the last month, they have continued to push me to change to a regular burial. I finally had enough and told them to respect my choices and never discuss this with me again. So now, no contact at all except an occasional text from my grandchildren. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Dear Abby: — UNHAPPY IN FLORIDA

I assume from your letter that you are neither a conservative nor an orthodox Jew. Because your question involves Jewish law (which is outside my area of expertise), I ran your question by the most brilliant rabbi I know, Rabbi Elliot Dorff, who teaches at the American Jewish University in Los Angeles. In part, this is what he had to say:

"The prohibition against cremation comes from the belief that your body belongs to God, not to you personally. It's not unlike renting an apartment. Part of the lease agreement is that you will not destroy or harm the property before you cease residency. (There is no restriction on piercing, which was practiced by Jewish women and men from the time of the exodus from Egypt. As for tattooing, the restriction against it goes back to the days when the Jews were fighting with the Canaanites, who used tattooing in their religious rites.)

"The restriction regarding cremation came about because of the belief that it is actively destroying God's property. According to the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, cremation is prohibited, but if people do that their cremains may be buried in a Jewish cemetery -- but, unlike what your children are threatening, it has nothing to do with what happens after death. There are differences on this subject. Nobody knows what happens after death, not even rabbis. Jewish people have a positive commandment to save a life. Organ donation would be an example of this. Although it might be considered 'damaging a body,' saving a life takes precedence."

Rabbi Dorff said your children need to know there's a disagreement among rabbis as to whether interment in a mausoleum is equivalent to burial in the ground. So, cremation may be "out" for you, but you can be laid to rest next to your husband in a crypt. What is of utmost importance is that your relationship with your children be restored. In the precious time you are on this side of the sod, you and your children need to be able to love and enjoy each other. Weapons like threats and blackmail should not be used.
