“Swords and Starships” podcast blasts off

BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

Two self-professed nerds are getting major recognition for their “Swords and Starships” podcast.

The Sci-fi podcast was first started by Coos Bay librarians Brittney Buxton and Joshua Whitty as a way to reach people during the pandemic.

“We needed a way to reach people that was still safe, so Joshua and I thought, let’s do a low key program that will be fun because at the time it felt emotionally draining,” Buxton said.

They said they knew right

away what they wanted to talk about.

“Well, both Brittney and I are huge nerds, and a topic we can both talk about is Science Fiction – fantasy books, movies, TV shows and various games,” Whitty said.

The podcast quickly became one of the favorite parts of their jobs at the Coos Bay Library. The library podcast gained such a strong following that it still continues today.

Author finds inspiration for mysteries on South Coast

Governor attends youth performance

BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

A woman who grew up in Southwest Oregon found unexpected success as an author with her series of mystery novels.

Four years ago, Kay Jennings presented her first novel, Shallow Waters, to an audience at the Coos Bay Library.

The novel was originally intended as a stand-alone story. But Jennings’ success and determination pushed her to publish six books, and she doesn’t intend on stopping now.

Jennings recently returned to the Coos Bay Library to celebrate her latest book, “Mourning Bay,” which was released in July, 2023. It is the latest edition in the Port Stirling Mystery series featuring police chief Matt Horning.

“I have learned a lot since I first stood up here four years ago,” the author said during the library event on Friday, Aug. 18.

Jennings said her first book was inspired by her childhood memories walking along beaches in Bandon. She told her husband her idea for the story, and he encouraged to her write it down.

“He’s like, ‘Why don’t you write that story? It’s very compelling and you have a beginning a middle and an end,’” Jennings said.

A few years later, in her retirement, Jennings decided to go for it.

The author said she had always written – but her writing was for other people – things like press releases and corporate communications.

“So I sat down and it just came out,” she said.

The first draft came pretty easily. She wrote it in about four months. But the editing and publishing process wasn’t quite so smooth. Even though it took time and money, she Inspiration continues on page 2

In a surprise visit, Governor Tina Kotek attended a performance of “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast JR” at the historic Liberty Theatre in downtown North Bend. Kotek reported she was on the South Coast to check in with rural communities.

"Having heard that Little Theatre on the Bay is the second-oldest, continuously-operating performing arts group in the state, she was immediately charmed by the idea of attending this summer youth production," said Liberty Theatre Vice President Jeanne Woods.

Governor Kotek and her

wife Aimee posed with LTOB President Aymee Pedder, Vice President Jeanne Woods and congratulated youth performers with roses after the show.

Participants in the latest Author talk at the Coos Bay Library learned these insights and more from the local author, and also got a sneak peek into Jennings’ latest novel when she read the first chapter to the audience.

Get ready for a lively event as the annual Bandon Cranberry Festival returns for its 77th year!

The festival, renowned for its rich heritage and community spirit, takes place on Saturday and Sunday, September 9-10, in Bandon City Park and various locations around Bandon. Pre-festival events have already started. Local activities begin on Thursday, September 7 and continue through Friday evening.

With a festival theme of CRANDYLAND, visitors can expect a sweet array of activities to

enjoy throughout the weekend.

Be there. It’s going to be a party!

Cranberry Festival celebrates 77 years of community fun

The World

Bandon’s longtime community festival has become one of the premier events on the Oregon Coast.

The Cranberry Festival takes place the second weekend in September.

It offers all of the events and entertainment that come with a town festival – including live music shows, food and craft vendors, a parade, car show, kids’ activities and the crowning of cranberry royalty.

“It’s been a tradition that we’ve had for years and years,” said Margaret Pounder, an event organizer with the Bandon Chamber of Commerce.

The longtime Bandon resident said she loves the community aspect of the event, which takes place on Sept. 9 and 10.

“It’s a safe community environment where you get to see familiar faces and celebrate the town you live in,” she said. “You get to see friends you haven’t seen in a while and watch kids having an awesome time playing games, or getting their

face painted.”

The festival is also very popular with visitors.

“Hotels are generally sold out months in advance for the festival,” Pounder said.

The festival is named for the community’s top agricultural crop.

A Cranberry Kitchen will highlight favorite cranberry dishes from locals. The winner of the contest is crowned queen or king of the kitchen.

Food vendors will offer a variety of cranberry-themed items for sale.

A local cranberry farm will have items for sale at the festival as well.

A favorite aspect of the event is the free live music offered throughout the weekend. The music starts right after the parade on Saturday and continues through 9 p.m. Saturday night, then starts back up again on Sunday.

Organizers said they are happy to welcome back headliner Morgan Alexander.

The Nashville based, Oregon native is known for his soul-filled voice

and energy in his performance and recordings.

The singer/songwriter has had numerous Indie cuts and has shared the stage with some of the biggest national acts like Little Big Town, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and John Michael Montgomery.

Alexander will be taking the stage at 6 p.m. Saturday and again at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Cranberry Festival organizers said they reworked the festival layout to be more user-friendly – increasing the amount of parking at the festival and also offering shuttles to and from Bandon’s City Park.

Parking will be located at the south end of the City Park, and the majority of festival vendors and activities will be situated at the north end of the park.

“There should be no way people cannot find a way to get to the festival and be very easily transported there, whether it's by their own vehicle or by the shuttle,” Pounder said.

organizers said they are excited for the cranberry coronation. This year it will include royalty and royalty-in-training with 29 little princesses and a little prince.

“That’s always a hit.

The kids are darling and always fun to watch,” Cranberry Festival organizer Pounder said.

As I See It

By MARY SCHAMEHORN

Before the state built a more secure channel for Ferry Creek, it was not unusual for flooding to occur, with one of the worst floods happening in December of 1940.

The story was detailed in the Jan. 2, 1941, Western World, under the front-page headline: "Ferry Creek Flood Water Damaging."

"Rowboats were in evidence on Bandon's main business street last Thursday when flood waters from Ferry creek, following several days of torrential rains, were held up by the narrow bridge near the creamery at the foot of the hill leading to East Bandon and inundated several blocks of the business district.

"The water rose rapidly and within a short time formed a rushing river the full width of the highway toward the city hall. (Now the Bandon Historical Society museum) The water rose to a height of between 12 and 18 inches in places.

It completely covered the floors in the Bob-Otto Court (first picture, now a service station at 101 and Elmira) where it also did considerable damage to the service station which is also the Greyhound bus depot. Continuing west it reached as far as the theater before avenues for its escape could be opened.

"At Sadye's (second photo and now Alloro restaurant) it was held from coming into the front door by sandbags.

"The family of Art Farrier, residing in a house at the rear of the creamery, was taken out by rowboat, the water being nearly up to the window ledge of the first floor. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Gallier worked rapidly to get their household goods elevated sufficiently to prevent damage.

"City employees first tried to relieve the situation by cutting a larger ditch with a bulldozer where Ferry creek empties into the tide flats near the Tom Lewis home. This proved insufficient and it was found necessary to cut ditches across First street between Elmira and Fillmore avenue. At these outlets the bulkhead that holds the street fill had to be blasted with dynamite (third photo) .

"Damage to the extent of several thousand dollars resulted from the flood and it was clearly demonstrated, according to local

observers, that the Ferry creek bridge across the highway and the drainage area between the bridge and the tide flat must be widened to accommodate a larger flow.

"A tide of 9.3 feet added considerable to the situation as it served to dam the water at the Ferry creek outlet.

"Sandbags were used with good effect at the street intersection between the Safeway store (now the home of Bandon Brewing Company) and other places of business. The floor of the Davison Market was covered to a depth of several inches.

The water had almost reached the floor of the Frank Perry veneer plant and cannery (on First Street). Water covered the floor of the New Bandon Theatre from the stage several rows back but this was largely due to the tide having backed up the water in the special drainage system maintained by the theater.

"Flood waters rushing down the new highway grade that leads south from the intersection with Second street menaced buildings on the south side of the highway. The Gull Cafe, the Coffee Shop and the Club beer parlor were affected.

"The dike across the flat between Flat Elk and Coquille, which past years was flooded to a depth of several feet and which has since been raised by the highway department six feet, stood the test. The water came to within about 18 inches of going over the top. However, the low places on the highway near the Clausen farm, east of Riverton, were covered to a depth of more than two feet at the highest point.

Buses, trucks and some passengers cars were able to get through but much of the car traffic was halted. This started on Friday and lasted until Sunday."

-------------------------Michael J. "Mike" Collins, 54, has been sentenced to five years in prison in connection with what was described by the investigating deputy as "a disturbing event that occurred on Coastal Evergreen Lane just north of Bandon on Sept. 29, 2022."

"As a result of the hard work by Chief Deputy District Attorney Jody Newby and Deputy H. Francis, the case was resolved before trial, thus keeping the victim from further anguish by having to

own meat with chickens, sheep and even once raising a cow and two pigs. As their experience on their farm grew, so did their gardens. Lots of roses, azaleas and rhododendrons. Mike also tried his hand a tree grafting and was very successful. If you’d ever been lucky enough to go out or seen it on the garden tour, the garden was extensive and a joy to behold. They joined The Rose Society in 1981 and contributed their knowledge and insights there and made a lot of friends. In fact when meeting people who knew Mike, I always heard, “He’s such a great guy!” Mike was given a special award for support of the Rose Society. They also enjoyed the fair where they showed their roses and entered a variety box. Jan entered baked good and Mike judged apple pies for over ten years. As time went by, Mike’s knowledge of gardening got him a column in the newspapers writing for

Kenneth “Ken” Charles Swift November 12, 1955 – August 2, 2023

Michael Kelly Michael Kelly was born in San Francisco on February 9, 1932. He was the oldest of two children, his sister Linda was six years his junior.

They were a military family so they traveled around the nation and the world with their parents, Madge and Howard. Eventually they settled in Vacaville, California on a 63 acre prune orchard with lots of flower gardens.

Perhaps this is where he developed his love of roses. It was there he met the love of his life, Janice Smith. Although the Korean War delayed their plans, they married on May 19, 1952. They moved from the farm into town.

Mike worked as a federal employee aircraft mechanic for Fairfield Airbase. In 1976, at the young age of 44, Mike retired and they moved to acreage in Coquille, Oregon.

They lovingly referred to their place as Kelly’s Funny Farm. They dove right into farm life raising most of their

Robert’s mother, Mildred, died when he was 2 years old and his father married Rose Marie who would help raise him. He spent many growing up years on the Boyd Ranch at Pullman, Washington.

He graduated from Sa-

lem High School, class of 1942 and married his high school sweetheart, Lenabelle, on May 27, 1942 in Vancouver, Washington. They would share nearly 76 years of marriage before her death in 2018.

Robert and Lenabelle raised a son and two daughters in Eugene/ Springfield area where he was a builder and business owner, retiring to North Bend. They enjoyed family vacations camping, hiking and boating. Robert waterskied on his 75th birthday. He and Lenabelle loved to square dance and round dance and were dance partners for 75 years with dance clubs in Eugene, North Bend and Coos Bay. They loved to travel and made several trips into Alaska and the North-

west Territories. Robert’s daughters took him on one last road trip in June of 2023 to Cour d Alene, Idaho, to help a high school friend celebrate his 101st birthday.

Robert lost his wife, Lenabelle in 2018 and his son, Charles in 2019. He is survived by daughter-in-law, Linda, of Junction City; daughter, Roberta and her husband, Dell of North Bend; daughter, Lonna and her husband, Jim of Springfield; 9 grandchildren; 22 great grandchildren; 1 great-great grandchild; and several nieces and nephews.

No.: OR-22947579-RM Reference is made to that certain deed made by, CODY SHIPP AND SEANA SHIPP, AS TENANTS BY THE ENTIRETY as Grantor to TICOR TITLE COMPANY OF OREGON, as trustee, in favor of MORTGAGE ELECTRONIC REGISTRATION SYSTEMS, INC., AS NOMINEE FOR FINANCE OF AMERICA MORTGAGE LLC., LLC., ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, as Beneficiary, dated 1/27/2022, recorded 1/28/2022, in official records of COOS County, Oregon in book/reel/volume No. and/or as fee/file/ instrument/microfilm/ reception number 202200904 and subsequently assigned or transferred by operation of law to Lakeview Loan Servicing, LLC covering the following described real property situated in said County, and State. APN: 27S12W24C70001 27S1224-C0-00700 A PARCEL OF LAND IN THE NE 1/4 OF THE SW 1/4 OF SECTION 24, TOWNSHIP 27 SOUTH, RANGE 12 WEST OF THE WILLAMETTE MERIDIAN, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, DESCRIBED AS FOLLOWS: BEGINNING ON THE SOUTHEASTERLY BOUNDARY OF THE COQUILLE-FAIRVIEW HIGHWAY AT A POINT 201 FEET SOUTHWESTERLY OF THE INTERSECTION OF SAID HIGHWAY WITH EVANS CREEK; THENCE EASTERLY AT RIGHT ANGLES 100 FEET; THENCE NORTHEASTERLY PARALLEL TO AND 100 FEET EASTERLY OF SAID HIGHWAY TO EVANS CREEK; THENCE EASTERLY ALONG EVANS CREEK TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE COOS BAY TIMBER RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY; THENCE SOUTHERLY ALONG SAID RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE FAIRVIEW-MIDDLE CREEK COUNTY ROAD; THENCE NORTHWESTERLY ALONG SAID COUNTY ROAD TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH THE COQUILLEFAIRVIEW HIGHWAY; THENCE NORTHEASTERLY ALONG SAID HIGHWAY BOUNDARY TO THE PLACE OF BEGINNING. Commonly known as: 58497 FAIRVIEW RD, COQUILLE, OR 97423 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated.

Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $34,165.40 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $410,884.73 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required

to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 6/1/2022, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/ or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION, the undersigned trustee will on 12/13/2023 at the hour of 1:00:00 PM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the Main Entrance to the Coos County Courthouse, located at 250 North Baxter Street, Coquille, OR 97423 County of COOS, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. 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 the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest CODY SHIPP 58497 FAIRVIEW RD COQUILLE, OR 97423 Original Borrower SEANA SHIPP 58497 FAIRVIEW RD, COQUILLE, OR 97423-8731 For Sale Information Call: 800-2802832 or Login to: www. auction.com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Pursuant to Oregon Law, this sale will not be deemed final until the Trustee’s deed has been issued by QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION. If any irregularities are discovered within 10 days of the date of this sale, the trustee will rescind the sale, return the buyer’s money and take further action as necessary.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to

a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale.

-------------------------------Clean Comedy Show 7 pm, September 2nd Egyptian Theatre At 7pm on Saturday, September 2nd, 2023, the historic Egyptian Theatre will host the Clean Comedy Show. This comedy show will feature Tennessee comedian Lee Hardin and local comedian Joanna Goslin. Hardin has been across the country and has shared the stage with comedians such as Henry Cho, Ryan Hamilton, and Nate Bargatze. Hardin’s work was released on DryBar Comedy, in 2019, with a special called “Not Quite A Grown Up.” Hardin sees providing humor to people through his craft as an act of service, adding that work in the comedy field is best approached with a selfless attitude. “It’s kind of wild that you have thoughts in your head, you put ‘em on paper, tell ‘em into a mic in front of a room full of strangers and they all can laugh.”

Hardin said. “It's equally terrifying and rewarding, and I think what keeps me going is that it’s nice you can bring some joys and temporary happiness into people’s lives for a little bit.” Hardin has also performed on television, having been featured on The Mike Huckabee Show.

He has a podcast called, “The Lee Hardin Podcast” on Spotify. The content includes Hardin having fellow comedians on as guests and talks about his love for wrestling. As a fan of punk rock music, Hardin has also featured musicians as guests on the show. Joanna Goslin delights audiences with her quick wit and observational style. She was voted “Class Clown” in high school and has been making people laugh ever since. Joanna calls southwestern Oregon home where she lives with her husband and three daughters. The doors and box office will open one hour prior to performance.

Music at Sturdivant Park, Hot Summer Night continue on Thursdays for the month of August. Timberwolf played last week with a weekly crowd that continues to grow each week. The temperature was perfect, people were moving to the beat and there were no mosquitos attacking. The music was awesome and the Timberwolf band refused tips asking that the crowd donate their money to continuing the Music in the Park program.

Advanced Health gives grant for North Bend pool Advanced Health has generously awarded the City of North Bend a grant of $23,100 under their "Active Living" initiative.

This incredible gift will go a long way in sponsoring the Public Swim Lesson Program and ensuring families get to enjoy Open Family Swim sessions every Saturday for the entire 2023 season at the North Bend Municipal Pool.

From every splash to every laugh, moments at the pool become memories, and this would not be possible without the support of organizations like Advanced Health.

Renowned Pianist David Nevue Returns “Home” to Play a Benefit Concert for Kingsview Christian School.

Join pianist David Nevue on Sunday, September 24, at 3 p.m. for an afternoon of piano music at Bay Area Nazarene Church, 1850 Clark St. in North Bend. The concert is a benefit for Kingsview Christian School. There is a suggested donation of $20/person at the door for the event.

An award-winning, internationally recognized recording artist, David Nevue’s music has received a remarkable 1.7 billion spins on Pandora Radio, Spotify, Apple Music, Alexa, and other streaming services.

He’s released 17 albums of his original works and arrangements, including his latest, In the Soft Light of Grace, which reached #1 on both Amazon. com and iTunes for his genre.

Nevue was born and raised in Coos Bay, where he attended Blossom Gulch Elementary and Millicoma Middle School before his family moved to Colorado when he was 12.

“All my childhood memories are in the Bay Area,” he says. “I lived on 4th Street, right across the street from the church I grew up in, the ‘Bay

Area Church of the Nazarene’ (at the time located at 4th and Ingersoll). When construction began on the North Bend location in the mid-1970s, my dad let me “help” construct what would become the baptismal. Our family enjoyed worshipping in the “new” North Bend church builidng for a couple years before we moved away. I even took my first piano lessons there,” he says.

Nevue moved back to Oregon in 1983 to attend George Fox University in Newberg, and now lives in Eugene, where he’s built a career as a musician and music business entrepreneur. He’s toured the country as a pianist for the last two decades, founded a successful internet radio broadcast, and been featured in both Rolling Stone magazine and the Wall Street Journal.

However, there’s one thing he’s never had the opportunity to do: play a concert for the church he grew up in.

“I’ve come full circle,” Nevue says, “When our family moved away, I didn’t even own my own piano. Now, 45

years later, what a blessing to return to share my life’s work with my original church family!”

For this performance, Nevue will be playing a selection of his most popular works, personal favorites, and a few of his popular hymn arrangements. Throughout the concert, he’ll share the stories behind the songs, and give insight into the music and the inspiration behind them.

He hopes to see many old friends, neighbors, and former church acquaintances at the show.

“This will be as close as I ever come to going back in time,” he muses.

To learn more about David Nevue, visit his web site at www.DavidNevue.com or look him up on YouTube or your favorite music streaming app.

Coos Bay mayor

With the devastating fire on Maui, the residents and visitors to the Hawaiian island are now in our thoughts and hearts. Disasters on this scale are rare, but the impact can be long lived. Watching this horrible event on Maui helped bring attention to the importance of an emergency response plan which can help a community not only survive an event but begin to rebuild.

The City Council and I were recently presented with an updated Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for the City of Coos Bay. The EOP is a very large document that details what the City's response would be in the face of an unplanned and devastating emergency, such as a natural disaster. Due to the size of the EOP, City staff reviews one third of the plan each year, so that every three years the plan is fully updated.

Emergency events can be something as simple as a high-wind storm that causes limited damage, to a full-scale Cascadia earthquake event.

The EOP provides for a scalable response, designating the magnitude of response that correlates to the event.

It establishes tasks and responsibilities that every City staff member, including the City Council and myself, will do in response to the incident and to support the com-

munity. We know and understand the roles necessary to stand up the emergency operations center to respond to the given crisis.

As a citizen, there are also steps you can take to make sure your household is better prepared for any emergency. One very significant thing is being ‘2 Weeks Ready' This simply means that you have enough supplies on hand and gathered in a single location in order for your household to shelter in place for two weeks. Each year, the Fire Department in partnership with NW Natural hosts a community educational opportunity called Get Ready Coos Bay to learn more about getting your household ready.

This event will be held September 5, 2023, so be on the lookout for more information. In the meantime, you can also find a checklist that can assist you in getting ‘2 Weeks Ready’ on the Fire Department’s website.

The 2023-2025 Council Goals include increasing the number of households who have made themselves 2 Weeks Ready. The upcoming partnership event with the Fire Department and NW Natural helps us to reach that goal by spreading the word and sharing how individuals and families can be prepared for an emergency. Many of you may also know that over the last several years, through the leadership

The man who loved natural beauty

By BETSY MARSTON

If you’ve ever bought a calendar or coffee table book featuring the grandeur of Colorado’s 14’ers, the stunning color photographs were almost certainly by John Fielder.

No doubt he had of Fire Chief Anderson many more books to and the regularly dediproduce before pancrecated budget funds and atic cancer took him on grants collected, several Aug. 11.

The importance of an emegency management plan

By JOE BENETTI

John Fielder: over 25,000 miles and also hiked 500 miles, carrying 70 pounds of equipment in a backpack, to get the shots he needed.

Sometimes he had to climb mountains — it took two trips up 13, 248 feet-high Notch Mountain to capture Jackson’s photo of Mount of the Holy Cross. Other times he photographed from office buildings or knocked on the door of someone’s house to ask if he could stand on their roof. He said he needed two landmarks to be confident he was photographing from the correct spot.

But Fielder wanted his historic book to include more than photos; he also wanted people to get other perspectives about the history of Colorado.

He asked Eric Paddock to write about Jackson’s life and time, historian Roderick Nash to write about civilization’s impact on nature, and journalist Ed Marston to write a memoir about coming with his family to Colorado from the wilds of New York.

Marston titled his first chapter, “A slow motion invasion of the rural West” by environmentalists like himself, starting in the 1970s.

Old mining towns with unpaved streets like Crested Butte were being discovered by ski bums and other young people, he wrote, who thought they’d found a promised land. Of course, what they found they immediately wanted to change.

He also wrote about the hard-to-believe boom — and later bust — of oil shale, along with the changing roles of federal agencies.

From their hard emphasis on mining, logging and grazing, the Forest Service and BLM were coming to the reluctant

Betsy Marston realization that what was needed in the West was restoration, not exploitation.

Marston said it was a treat working with Fielder, another workaholic, and to his surprise, the book’s huge sales actually made him some money.

The book’s well-publicized debut in Denver was a heady time for Fielder and the book’s writers, and all were on hand at a long table to sign each copy. People bought multiple copies as the line of buyers snaked around the block.

It was Fielder’s vision and stamina that led to the success of “Colorado 1870-2000.”

He’d masterminded a wonderful book that still shows up on coffee tables and at banks and title companies.

Fielder said he always sought to celebrate the beauty of the natural environment while also inspiring people to become advocates for the land. Now, thanks to his generous donation of 7,263 of his images to History Colorado, much of his work will live forever.

Betsy Marston is the editor of Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. She lives in Paonia, Colorado.

The Chamber Minute: Committee opportunities

Often you have heard me say that the Chamber’s strength comes from utilizing the vast collective experiences and energy of our diverse membership of over 540 businesses. So how do we do that? In many ways, it’s through their participation on one of our teams. Let me re-introduce you to those committee opportunities that are active in 2023.

Ambassadors— Are the Red-coated welcoming team that greets dignitaries, cuts ribbons at grand openings and

hosts Business after Hours each month.

They also have an important role in promoting membership communication through regular visits to all.

Business Development & Support—works for a positive business climate which promotes retention, expansion and recruitment activities throughout Oregon’s Bay Area often with our other South Coast economic development partners.

A new aspect of this group is the Business Builders monthly seminars on subjects

important to your operations.

Natural Resources— helps to educate the public on timber and fishing issues and other natural resource opportunities which affect our coastal community and economy. This team works in concert with the LAT. Legislative Action Team (LAT)—Serves as an advocate for Chamber members and the business community in local and state issues impacting quality of life, growth and business viability. With this being a long legislative session

year, LAT faced a lot of challenges coming out of Salem that impacted you.

Wednesday Business Connection—hosts a weekly business or community related forum from September through May, which provides folks networking opportunities and current issue information.

Leadership Coos—A tuition based program, which gives an in depth introduction to all aspects of our community, one day per month, from September to May each year,

while encouraging personal investment of time and effort into making a difference.

Our next class starts this September.

Chamber members can be part of any of these teams. In fact, that is the only way we are successful. So, give us a call and we will set you up. Oh, there are even a few more hard working groups to introduce you to, but, since I’m out of space, that will have to wait for another day.

They completed tasks such as building, painting and landscaping.

“They did a great job,” Richardson said.

“The kids got an awful lot done. We got two buildings painted all in a day, and a lot of landscaping done out at one of the houses which is a transitional house for homeless folks,” he said.

This is the first year for the project. Organizers hope it will turn into a yearly event. The Impact Coos County projects were completed in partnership with

Shark survives beaching, returns to sea

Leslie Johnson was walking down Horsefall Beach last week when she saw a man with two dogs with a big fish at their feet. As Johnson got closer, she realized the fish was, in fact a shark. Johnson and the man watched as what turned out to be a salmon shark stuggled out of the water. While the two were afraid of touching the shark, it finally was able to get back in the water and return to the ocean.

“Basically, Impact Coos County is a project so that area Christian kids can put feet to their faith getting outside the church walls,” said John Richardson, the Impact Coos County Director and associate Pastor at First Baptist in North Bend.

About 50 Christian teens from a variety of churches worked together “to share the hope of Jesus and serve their community,” he said.

representatives from The Devereux Center and the South Coast Gospel Mission.

Youth who participated in the project are involved with multiple churches throughout the region, including First Baptist Church in North Bend, Riverview Christian Fellowship, Skyline Baptist Church, Hauser Community Church, Arago Community Church, Grace Church and Myrtle Point First Christian Church.

Dear Abby By

Dear Abby:

Abigail Van Buren

I lost 15 years of my daughter's life when her mother left the state we were living in without my knowledge. We had a boy and girl during our 15 years of marriage and had agreed to joint custody. We weren't supposed to move more than 50 miles from each other so the kids would be close to both of us.

Once my daughter turned 10, I didn't see her again until she was 25. When I finally located her, I realized they had moved down South. When we reunited, I learned that some of my relatives knew where my daughter was, and said nothing.

I recently went through a bout with cancer. Because my son thought I was going to die, he decided to clear his conscience. He admitted that at age 13, he told my ex to go ahead and leave the state so I couldn't have a relationship with my daughter. I love both my kids equally, but now I feel betrayed by my son. Any suggestions?

— SAD DAD IN THE MIDWEST

DEAR DAD: So your spouse used advice from her 13-year-old son to take your daughter and disappear, and even though some of your relatives knew you were searching for your child, they kept mum? I have heard of dysfunctional families, but yours takes the cake.

Was your son's motive for telling his mother to leave while he stayed behind with you because of sibling rivalry? Although he was immature at the time, from my perspective, I agree it was a betrayal. Getting past this may involve many months of counseling and the help of a licensed family therapist. If that's what you want, start now.

Dear Abby: I have a young adult neighbor who is a talented mechanic. He builds model autos and tries them out up and down our street. His latest is a three-wheel motorcycle, which he drives in the wrong direction, without a helmet. He also revs its motor constantly. I'm worried our street will become a hangout for more motorcycle enthusiasts.

I'm also concerned that if I ask him to stop, he'll get angry. I approached him once and reminded him of safety issues, but at that time he wasn't racing his motor. It's worse now because the noise is distracting, and he repeatedly passes my home. What would be a good neighborly response to this?

— IRRITATED IN MISSOURI

DEAR IRRITATED: Ask your other neighbors if they, too, are bothered by the noise. If the answer is yes, then approach the young man as a group and explain that, while his mechanical abilities are admirable, the noise when he revs his engine is distracting, and it would be appreciated if he didn't do it in the area of your homes.

If this doesn't remedy the problem, check the noise ordinances in your community to see if he is violating any of them. (The answer could be as simple as the young man installing a muffler on his bike.)

Auditions scheduled for A Christmas Carol The Sawdust Theatre has scheduled auditions next month for Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol,” which will be produced on three weekends before Christmas.

The theatre will open for auditions at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 23, and Sunday, Sept. 24, and at 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 25, said Michael Thurman, Sawdusters treasurer and building manager.

Auditions will be at the theatre, 120 N. Adams St. in downtown Coquille.

Dan Barnett of Bandon, who has been involved with community theater for five decades, will direct the play. It will include more than 50 characters, but Barnett said he needs about 25 actors and actresses for speaking roles, plus children and dancers, to cast the show without double casting people

to play two speaking roles. That’s a possibility, he said, but he won’t know until casting.

The full cast includes Gram, four or five young children, Mr. and Ms. Fred, Scrooge, three or four young boys, three alms, Bob Cratchet, Jacob Marley, the Spirit of Christmas Past, Sister Fran, Young Ebenezer, Fezziwig, Ebenezer, Dick Witkins, Isabelle, the Spirit of Christmas resent, Mrs. Cratchit,

Peter, Belinda, Martha, Tiny Tim, male and female adult guests, the Spirit of Christmas future, four business people, the soup man, the turkey boy, the volunteer and eight to 12 dancers.

“It is true to the original story, other than the fact that we start out with Grandma reading the story to her grandchildren,” Barnett said.

“Gram narrates the story as she lets each scene

play out on stage or in the audience.”

The story won’t quite be the same as everyone remembers it, he said.

“There is a surprising twist ending with the new-found Scrooge,” Barnett said. ‘I have musical numbers planned within the story line also.”

With that in mind, he said the theatre also needs a piano player for “A Christmas Car-

KOZY WOOD

ol.” Barnett would like someone to record piano music for the production.

“If you would be willing to do this, or know of someone who might be interested,” Thurman said, “please let me know and I will put the director in contact with you.”

Lingering COVID Issues (long after the pandemic is gone which have nothing to do with the virus)

By DR. CHARLES HURBIS Guest Column

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel that the planet has gone mad since the pandemic ended? Just last month we hit a milestone where the number of daily deaths in the U.S. are no longer greater than what has been historically normal, meaning COVID is no longer having an impact. Implication? The pandemic is over.

So, what happened to the society we used to recognize pre-COVID? I seem to remember a time when people got along, went to the office to work every day and prices seemed semi-normal. Heck, even airline travel was reasonable.

Now it’s not unusual to find ticket rates approaching $1,500 for what used to be a $500 flight, and the average bill at your favorite dining establishment has routinely doubled. And as for that $1,500 flight, your money now entitles you to flight delays and cancellations, the comfort of the middle seat, no meal and planned overnight stays at an airport which was not in your travel plans. Prices on goods in general seem to have taken on a parabolic trajectory.

Why is this? Well, we all got used to sitting at home on the couch, either working remotely or doing nothing, and then given lots of free COVID crisis money.

Time plus free cash plus a computer plus boredom equals purchases.

Add to this the significant pandemic created supply line deficiencies and you get the cost of goods skyrocketing.

Since when did going

through the drivethrough at McDonalds run well over $8 for what used to be a $4 meal? And what ever happened to the dollar menu? Well, when McDonalds is advertising at over $20 per hour for counter help plus a sign-on bonus, there’s part of your answer.

When I worked there I got $3, and we added up the bills by hand and memorized even complex orders. I realize that was a few years ago, but still, $20 for McDonald’s? And it’s not even fast anymore. The rapid wage increases have required retailers to raise prices by ridiculous amounts since costs are always passed on to consumers. Interestingly, this hyperinflation has essentially more than negated any advantage that the new additional income may have provided.

Another area that makes zero sense is the price of concert tickets. Google data just last month showed that Taylor Swift concert tickets for her most recent tour ranged from $900 to $20,000 (not a misprint) with an average of $1,250 per ticket!

And regardless of these prices, she packs the stadiums. Most people won’t even get tickets!

There was a story in the NYT’s where many people who cannot get tickets will travel to the venues anyway (Singapore was the example) just to be near the event and experience it from a near-by parking lot.

Where is all this money coming from?

And how about housing prices. Has anyone tried to purchase into this red-hot

market recently? The post pandemic housing mania has led to price escalations ranging between 50-100% in most markets. There are no signs of this slowing down even with interest rates rising to their highest levels in 22 years. And why is it that the only tool being used to control inflation and housing costs is raising interest rates?

Has this helped in the housing market? If anything, sellers are just keeping homes off the market until rates drop again causing prices to go even higher due to inventory shortages. No one can afford to give up their homes, especially if sitting on an old 3% mortgage.

What dictates the price of housing and goods? Supply and demand. Since demand is still clearly out of control, instead of decreasing demand by making credit more expensive (which clearly isn’t working) how about focusing on increasing supply? You flood the market with goods and prices would plummet.

This is probably too simplistic a view, but so far the decreased demand approach isn’t working.

The pandemic brought a number of government programs which offered a windfall of free cash to both individuals and businesses, plus the incentive (at times mandate) to stay home, which as mentioned had people spending that cash. The supply and demand issue has also hit the travel industry, hard.

After the pandemic, there was a huge pent up travel demand. The mindset now being that

life is unpredictable and possibly short, so I’d better travel now, or I may never get another chance.

It seems that since the pandemic ended, everyone who had a personal bucket list had to complete it, and right away! Have you tried to go anywhere lately?

It’s a nightmare. Maybe that romantic trip to the Amalfi coast you’ve dreamed about? Forget it, with the enormous crowds, you’ll be lucky to even see the coast assuming you can get anywhere near it. And do you want to go camping? How about making your reservation a year in advance to guarantee a spot.

Would you like to see a national park. Don’t expect to drive through one with the kids, ever again. Nope, you’ll park in the designated lot and take the shuttle bus, while they lecture to you about the risks of dehydration and not feeding the bears.

Yet, regardless of these new hardships, there’s still the prevailing attitude of, “I’d better do this now before someone pulls out the rug again”. So, none of the above seems to matter, and people are still booking at unprecedented rates anyway and traveling isn’t fun anymore.

Also, during the pandemic we’ve gone through a period of wage inflation like we’ve never seen before. This is partially due to aggressive minimum wage increases combined with the difficulty filling service positions which nobody wants anymore.

Everyone wants to work from home. The

period on earth where humans have evolved away any need for a body and are now just brains sustained under glass domes. Sometimes I look around and it almost feels we are headed that way. Heck, we don’t even pedal bikes anymore. Bikes, scooters and skateboards have all become electric and don’t require any effort.

Companies such as Google have tried to get employees to return the office, attempting to mandate days when employees must be physically present, but with great resistance.

There is significant value in actual personal human interaction, something that a zoom meeting will never replicate. Sometimes, with the isolation the pandemic has created and the disappearance of the service sector, I’m left wondering how much longer society can function effectively.

Maybe it’s just me, but often it feels like the world has become totally disconnected from things that really matter.

We no longer value what is tangible. What is valued now seems only a mirage, like some guy we don’t know doing Instagram posts, and that people, given their on-line personas, have also become fictitious representations of who they really are. Nothing seems meaningfully real anymore. I’m afraid the next decade will tell us if this new world order is going to hold up.

And what about medicine? During the pandemic doctors took Doc H continues on page 20

new work standard has become the remote employee. Hands on jobs are hugely out of vogue. During the pandemic, the generation Z and X’ers got used to staying home.

Because of the isolation the pandemic created, pet ownership for companionship exploded.

And now, even though the pandemic is over, everyone still just wants to stay home with Fido, with minimal job supervision and flexible hours, while making what seem like overly generous salaries for the effort put in.

What we used to call “work ethic” has been totally redefined by the new order. Working out of a conventional office seems to be over. I’m guessing that it would be impossible to successfully bring back a new season of the show The Office. It would fail after episode #1. Who wants to watch Steve Carell in his apartment, still in pajamas, interacting with other characters over computers.

Even activities like shopping have been made less active. No longer do we drive to the local store looking for what we need, we instead look it up on Amazon and have UPS bring it. If we do get it at a local store, we can arrange curb side pickup and not even have to go inside. Heck, we don’t even need to shop for our own groceries, stores have shoppers that will do that for you as well and then deliver them.

I recall a very forward-thinking sequel of The Planet of the Apes where Charlton Heston has time-travelled to a

the finals for the People’s Choice Podcast Awards.

The People's Choice Podcast Awards is the longest-running premier podcast awards event in the podcasting space and is open to shows worldwide.

It was designed to allow fans to show their appreciation by nominating their favorite participating shows, and is culminated with a live-streamed awards show on International Podcast day.

Making the slate is an incredible accomplishment, with more than 8 million listeners having cast nomination votes.

The local librarians said the podcast has been a success because they talk about things they enjoy – like nostalgic movies they grew up with as children.

They also throw in some personal humor.

On a recent podcast, Buxton talked about being grounded from reading as a child because

she wasn’t spending enough time outside – so she smuggled a book into her treehouse.

The podcasters even throw in some dating advice along the way.

“With podcasts, you can create what they call parasocial relationships.

People are listening to you and they feel like they're getting to know you,” Buxton said.

“It’s been a unique and fun experience,” she said.

The podcast is also a way for the librarians to get the word out about various library programs and create a safe space for people to learn about the role libraries play in the community.

“We really want the podcast to feel like people are in the room with us and that it’s a safe place to learn,” Buxton said.

The librarians say the podcast is fun – but it is also a lot of work.

“Editing an episode takes a lot of time,” Whitty said. “And then, there is the planning for the episodes."

The librarians meet regularly to plan their podcast, often preparing a month in advance for future podcast topics.

The hard work has paid off. The Swords and Starships Podcast gained a spot in the final slate for the People’s Choice Podcast Awards.

The winner will be chosen in mid-September.

The librarians are also looking forward to recording their 100th episode, which they said will take place sometime in October.

The podcast has also gained a following from listeners as far away as Germany.

The Swords and Starships Podcast can be found on most podcasting platforms such as Spotfiy, Apple and Google. There is also a link to the podcast from the Coos Bay Public Library Website.

to telemedicine which seemed a pretty impersonal way to provide care, yet was a safe way to interact in the face of an unknown pandemic agent. Now that doctors are back in their offices, I’m not sure that care has gotten any more personal, as administrative burdens, electronic records and escalating expenses have your doctor preoccupied. Additionally, have you even tried to find a doctor?

During the pandemic, many doctors, who were already pushed to the threshold of administrative burnout, just bailed.

There are far fewer doctors now than we had pre-pandemic, and the population has never been less healthy.

The pandemic led to inactivity, poor diets and delayed medical care, all with unfortunate medical consequences. Also, COVID itself continues to take a toll on many unfortunate individuals in the form of long COVID as well as new seasonal variants.

velopmental years which can never be recovered.

In addition to school disruption the virus also brought us the greatest polarizations our society has seen, perhaps since the civil war. With all of this, anxiety and depressive issues in our youth have never been at higher levels. Most young people will thrive in a life which has a stabile foundation. The last three years have exposed our young members of society to anything but that.

And what about the virus? Will it ever be gone? Clearly not.

Reports just last month show we have entered into the annual summer COVID surge with hospitalizations once again mounting. Additionally, experts predict that COVID will always remain one of the top 10 causes of mortality in the world over time. Clearly COVID the disease and the unanticipated effects of pandemic management will have an impact on our society for years to come. We still don’t know just how well we’ll adapt.

left children struggling and behind like never before. Studies have shown that standardized scores in math and reading dropped substantially when children were pulled out of the classrooms. It seems that in the U.S., on-line/ zoom style learning doesn’t work. Societies around the globe found that students lost their enthusiasm for learning when the structured classroom format was absent. The at-home format might work for some, but for the great majority it was clearly ineffective.

Additionally, extracurricular activities such as music and sports, which are so important during development, were all cancelled during the pandemic. Normal learning requirements for standard age groups have had to be modified to adjust for how far behind the average child in the U.S. has fallen during the pandemic.

And what about the ceremonies? How many high school and college students never got a formal graduation? It was really quite tragic.
