Hidden gems in Oregon

Oregon State Parks describes the Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area as a hidden gem in the dense coastal forests of southwest Oregon. BY BREE LAUGHLIN

Oregon State Parks describes the Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area as a hidden gem in the dense coastal forests of southwest Oregon. The trails to the falls include a short hike from the parking lot. Recreationists are rewarded with views of two separate cascading waterfalls. The falls currently have less water ﬂowing over them than in the springtime, but are still a sight to see. Golden and Silver Falls is a 24-mile drive from Highway 101 near Allegany. The drive to get there can be windy. The ﬁnal 3-miles narrow to a one lane gravel road and drivers are encouraged to go slow and use caution. A small parking and picnic area are located at the base of the trails as well as vault toilets. The area is shaded by large maple, alder and Oregon myrtle trees.

Coast Guard vet runs local yoga studio BY BREE LAUGHLIN

A local woman who spent the majority of her adult life serving in the Coast Guard found a new direction when she decided to leave the service and open her own yoga studio, The House of Asana. Lauren McGarigal was only 19-years-old when she decided to enlist in the military. “I was kind of in a rush to start adulthood,” she said. McGarigal joined the U.S.

During her time in the military, McGarigal lived in Seattle, Wash., Petaluma, Calif., in Cape Cod, Mass., and in Long Beach, Calif. “I had my oldest daughter in Seattle. I had my youngest daughter in Long Beach, California, and I met my husband in Massachusetts… so everything that's essentially

made me who I am today happened while I was in the Coast Guard,” McGarigal said. She said she loved the travel and getting to see different parts of the world, but the strictness of the military took its’ toll. “There are so many benefits to joining the service, Vet Yoga Studio continues on page 11

Jacob Ryan Strine November 26, 1991 – October 13, 2023

A Celebration of Life will be held for Jacob R. Strine, 31, of North Bend, on Saturday, October 28, 2023 at 4:00 p.m. at the Life Change Church, 200 Ackerman in Coos Bay with Pastor Dale Herring presiding. A private family urnside will take place at a later date at Ocean View Memory Gardens Cemetery in Coos Bay. Jacob was born on November 26, 1991 in Coos Bay, Oregon to his parents Donald Strine and Rachael (Strine) Dunn. He passed away on October 13, 2023 in North Bend. Jacob loved to be with family and friends and could talk to anyone about any

subject due to his amazing enthusiasm for lifelong learning. We will all miss his gentleness, compassion, sensitivity, sense of humor, his conversations, and his loving way of treating people. He was known for giving to those less fortunate even though he was down to a few dollars himself. One of the last things he did was to make a donation to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Jacob had many lifelong friends who turned to him in their time of need and who he turned to when he was needing that human connection during life’s ups and downs. He was a great listener and was tolerant

and understanding. Jacob was especially interested in music and in cooking great food which he often took responsibility for in his living situations. His career took him through Army basic training and Computer Networking School, a job as a network troubleshooter for hospitals and clinics, Charter Communications Technician, Bay Area Ambulance Service Dispatcher, and Swiftco of Seattle ﬁber optic cable repair. Jacob’s love for his immediate family, Lauren and Lucy and Lily, was wonderful to witness. He was working locally for Swiftco of Seattle operating out of

a bucket truck to repair ﬁber-optic cables on power poles at the time of his passing. Although he felt challenged by the danger of the job, he showed up and resolved the issues. He and Lauren were making plans for their future together, and he already had big plans for improving his status in his career. Jacob is survived by his parents, Don Strine of Junction City and his girlfriend, Kimberle Taylor, and Rachael Dunn of Coos Bay; sister, Casey Strine; brother, Deacon Deschenes and his wife, Amariah; ﬁancé, Lauren McNeely and her daughter, Lily Smith and their daughter,

Lucille Strine; sons, Ryder (Strine) Smith of Los Altos, CA, Quentin Strine of Roseburg, and Eli Crisp of Eugene; grandmother, Linda Strine; and many aunts, uncles and cousins. Jacob was preceded in death by his grandfather, Dennis Strine and his grandparents, Ron and Carol Dunn. Jacob’s family thanks everyone for the vast amount of messages, ﬂowers, visits, food and prayers that they have received. Jacob was a member of Life Change Church of Coos Bay, and anyone wishing to make a donation in his honor may do so to a place where he loved the people and all they do

ritual, and was incorporated into the Catholic holiday “All Saints Day.” Initially marking the end of harvest season, Samhain was celebrated in costumes to frighten off evil spirits. Carving of turnips in Ireland gave way to carving of pumpkins in the New World. The holiday was also celebrated with music and dancing around bonfires. Traditional music will be performed by local band Celtic Bay Players, consisting of Steven McVay Ingham on fiddle, Mark Levy on Irish drum (bodhran), both of Florence, accordi-

onist and singer Sharon Rogers and guitarist Jon Menten, both from Coos Bay. The quartet recently performed at the Corvallis Celtic Festival to rave reviews. Traditional Irish dancing will be led by Sheila Malloy Huber of Florence, who says “… everyone should bring their dancing shoes for some fun and easy ceili dancing. This is a form of Irish social dancing that is accessible to all.” There will be a suggested donation of $10-$20 to cover expenses. Guinness Stout and sweet treats will be available as well.

Eclipse event goes on despite cloudy weather

BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

The mesmerizing “Ring of Fire” was hidden behind morning fog and clouds on Saturday,

Oct. 14, but that didn’t stop local community members and visitors from having a good time.

The city of North Bend hosted a Ring of Fire Revelry Eclipse Block party at Grant circle next to City Hall during the morning of the eclipse. The annular eclipse was being celebrated locally because North Bend and Coos Bay were in a good position for eclipse viewing. However, the weather was not cooperating. Participants at the

block party remained in good spirits as they perused local vendor booths offering a variety of arts, crafts and other items. A handful of food trucks were parked at the event selling a selection of food faire ranging from barbecue to hot dogs. Families lined up so children could get their face painted. A chainsaw carving

artist also performed his artistry during at the local block party. Those who donned their eclipse glasses and posted to North Bend social media could be entered to win the carving. The event also featured live music and a beer garden. The next annular eclipse won’t happen again until 2041.

Some say the apparition is a gray-haired woman who appears wearing a late Victorian-era dress; a wispy gray ﬁgure appears to be ﬂoating down the hallway.

otherwise unoccupied attic. Occurrences, real or imagined, in the lighthouse keeper’s cottage have given the location the reputation of being one of the most haunted places on the West Coast. The main apparition is known as Rue, named by a group Lane Community College students who saw the letters R-U-E appear on a Ouija Board when they asked questions to the popular device. The name stuck. It is told that Rue had two daughters, one of which drowned in a tragic accident. It is not known whether she drowned in the ocean or in a cistern, but that there is an unmarked grave on the hillside that has been long left undisturbed and has since become over-

grown. Although Rue left the Heceta Head Cottage after her daughter died, it is said that she came back after her own death to look for her daughter. One of the most frightening encounters with Rue was reported by the Siuslaw News in 1975. According to the tale, a workman was cleaning one of the windows in the attic when he noticed an odd reﬂection in the glass. When he turned to see what was behind him, he saw the apparition of an elderly woman wearing a late-Victorian style gown. He ﬂed the house and didn’t return for days, refusing to ever go into the attic again. According to a PBS special on Legendary Lighthouses, nearly everyone who has stayed

Coos County deeded 17.27 acres to the state, including Silver Falls, which had been given to the county for park purposes by Weyerhauser Timber Company

in 1935. An additional 28 acres was given by Coos County in 1955. Golden Falls was named for Dr. C. B. Golden, ﬁrst grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Oregon. Golden and Silver Falls State Natural Area is open for day use year round. Call for info: 800-551-6949. Call park: 541-888-3778.

at the lighthouse since the 1950s has experienced some sort of paranormal activity. The Heceta Head Lighthouse was named for the Spanish sailor Don Bruno Heceta, who discovered the location in 1755. It sits on a beautiful location on the coast just north of Florence and is said to be

the most photographed lighthouse in the United States. Construction of the lighthouse began in 1892. The project completion was hampered and delayed by the clifftop site since nothing could be done until the roads were built in order for the supplies to be brought up to the site.

Although the complete project was said to have taken about ﬁve years, the light itself was lit for the ﬁrst time in March of 1894. On the weekend before Halloween, guests will have the opportunity to decide for themselves if the tales from the sea are just old sailor’s legend or real.

award-winning designs for display at county fairs. The Merman’s moved to 80 acres of forested land outside Glide, Oregon, in 1989. Bailey opened a locksmith shop in Glide, and later moved the shop to Roseburg before closing it as digital technologies took over the industry. The Merman’s also continued some landscape work. Bailey supported her husband as he taught pesticide application and control seminars to commercial gardeners up and down the West Coast. Her husband also worked as a horticultural inspector for a seed company for several years, with Bailey helping coordinate logistical support. For a few years, the Merman’s also bred and sold German Shorthair Pointer puppies. Throughout this time, Bailey continued her artwork, producing complex Celtic drawings and both watercolor and oil paintings. In 2014, she contributed to a large outdoor mural covering the side of a building in Glide, depicting rural Oregon. In 2016, she painted another large mural, of Crater Lake, for display in the Glide Community Center.

Following her husband’s death in 2011, Bailey moved from her isolated rural home into the town of Glide. In 2022, tired of evacuating each summer because of forest ﬁres, she moved to North Bend, on the Oregon Coast. Bailey is survived by her brother and his wife; three nephews; and two great-nephews. She had pets throughout her life, and is also survived by two dogs, a German shorthair pointer and a pit-bull mix. Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals. com. Donations in lieu of ﬂowers may be sent to your local branch of Planned Parenthood or SPCA.

Bailey L. Merman, a lifelong artist who also worked as a landscape designer and locksmith, died on October 12, 2023, in North Bend, Oregon, of aggressive lung cancer, at age 61. Born in San Francisco on June 4, 1962, Bailey was adopted immediately by Marion and Harry Lewenstein.

Evelyn Joyce Garman was born in Cottage Grove on October 8, 1932 and died at the age of 91, while residing at New Friends Memory Care Facility, Coos Bay, Oregon. She was the second child of Richard and Geneva (Hopper) Garman. Her Dad worked as a timber faller during her formative years. Her Mom pioneered as a one-room school teacher in the 1920’s, and continued teaching into her 70's. Evelyn graduated Valedictorian from her class of 1950, Cottage Grove High School. She studied piano and became an accomplished musician. For over 25 years Evelyn shared her love for the keyboard with scores of young students. Evelyn's family were members of the 6th and Gibbs Church of Christ, where she was organist

for many years. In 1976 Evelyn began a 40-year career as a Realtor. She rapidly earned the designation of Certified Residential Specialist while working with other fine real estate professionals in Cottage Grove, prior to opening her own brokerage there. Eventually Evelyn moved to the Salem area where she assumed the title of Broker Trainer for a large real estate firm. If Evelyn were asked to define what was most important to her, she would invariably reply, "My faith and my family." Evelyn maintained a life-long strong belief in God and was committed to studying her Bible. She was an avid reader, and forever a “dog lover.” Evelyn practiced the admonition “It is better to give than to receive.” Evelyn is survived

by her three children, Marilyn Seleshanko, North Bend, OR, Marv Leathers, Cottage Grove and Carol Crim, Papillion, NE. Evelyn was blessed to leave six grandchildren and ﬁfteen great grandchildren, to carry on her legacy. An interment will be held at Bemis Cemetery, Cottage Grove, on October 20, 2023. Arrangements in the care of Smith-Lund-Mills Funeral Chapel and Crematorium.

Stanley Porter January 27, 1944 - September 28, 2023

We are sad to announce the passing of Stanley “Stan” Porter of Coos Bay. He passed away September 28, 2023 with his wife at his side. A private family graveside service was held October 7, 2023 at the Scottsburg Pioneer Cemetery, followed by a family gathering. Stan was born in Madera, California, to Lester and Addis Porter. He was the youngest of 5 children. He spent his early years in California. At the age of 11, his family moved to Reedsport, Oregon. Here he met his high school sweetheart, Nian Leach. They were married in 1963. They had two sons, Darin Porter and Eric Porter. They shared a full life together enjoying their family, whether it was a cookout at the lake, holidays, birthdays, or a simple evening at home. He and Nian loved working in their yard, going to the beach and road trips enjoying the beauty of nature. They were blessed to have 60

years together. Stan worked his whole life, first in his early years following the crops with his family, and then he bagged groceries in high school. His first sales job with a Chevrolet dealership introduced him to a field he loved. He soon decided that he wanted to be his own boss, starting from his own driveway selling one car. The business inventory would later change to RVs and his sons would join him. His sons and grandson carry on the business today. Stan endured many illnesses in his life with grace and dignity. When hard times hit, he found peace in reading his Bible. He had an infectious smile that everyone spoke of, even when he was very sick. He never met a stranger. Stan is survived by his beloved family; wife, Nian; sons, Darin (Melissa) Porter and Eric (Ladonna) Porter; grandchildren, Heather (John) Adamek, Adam (Madison) Porter, Evan (Jessica) Porter, Brooke

(Jeremy) Hooghiem and Kaitlyn Ragan; great grandchildren, Braeden, Nora, and Margaret “Maggie” Adamek, Eleanore “Ellie” Porter, Alexandria “Allie” and Charlotte “Charlie” Porter, Elsjebella “Elsje”, Caspian and Blade Hooghiem, and Kaius Ragan. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lester and Addis Porter; brothers, Clarence, Donald and Bobbie; and sister, Doris. Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131.

CROW will host its sixth Scare-C.R.O.W. Haunted Maze four nights in October at the Florence Events Center. Will you enter the dark and terrifying realm of Alura Botanica? Her gnarled branches will twist and contort your every fear into reality, right before your eyes. Once she has you in her ﬁrm and unforgiving grasp, she will never let you go. Voted “Best Haunt in Oregon 2018” by Oregon Haunted Houses, CROW’s 6th Scare-C.R.O.W. Haunted Maze, entitled “Twisted” will be held 4 nights- October 27th, 28th, and 30th, from 6-9 PM & October 31st from 5- 9 PM. A less scary “Family Hour” geared toward younger kids

and big chickens will be held on Saturday, October 28th from 5-6 PM, with the maze transitioning back to very scary at 6 PM. Suggested minimum age for the regular maze is 8+, and entry is always at parents’ discretion, and at your own risk. This year, for the ﬁrst time, the maze will be held at the Florence Events Center (715 Quince Street), allowing CROW to have double the space for quadruple the scares! “This year’s maze is so freaky that it will twist your mind,” says CROW’s Artistic Director and maze co-designer, Melanie Heard. Heard says that the orig-

inal maze concept about an evil tree luring victims to their demise was her own, but that she is excited to be co-designing with her good friend Brian Sandahl – a retired senior art director from Disneyland who was known as “The Pumpkin King” for his Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted Mansion overlay. “Brian and I work really well together and we have some incredible surprises up our sleeves,” said Heard. “We are deﬁnitely a deadly duo.” According to Sandahl, “I've designed a lot of odd things in the past.... but Alura Botanica.... this TWISTED tree... is going to be one ghoulishly gory creation.” Sandahl

continued, “I've been known for my nightmarish designs for a certain Haunted Mansion at Disneyland...and all that TWISTED experience is sure helping out as we put together the haunted maze......it's guaranteed to have you screaming your head off!” After a forced hiatus due to COVID, CROW is back with a vengeance, ready to terrify and entertain. The non-proﬁt’s “Freak Show” (2019) and “Quarantine” (2018) mazes showed so much deadly appeal that over 1000 guests passed through, traveling from as far away as Astoria, Bandon, Eugene/ Springﬁeld, Brook-

ings, Washington and California, and beyond. “CROW is known for our exceptionally high quality production values for every project, including costumes, make-up, scenic design elements, props, lighting, sound, and acting components,” said Heard. “I’d also like to add that our Haunted Maze is a fundraiser for the entire CROW non-proﬁt program, and any funds directly beneﬁt the entire youth arts program. This includes future dance classes, workshops, summer camps, mainstage musicals, scholarships, materials, and more. Thank you to our sponsors who helped offset the $7000 in production costs for this

event. You can view their names on our website. And to all of you out thereÖplease come come to the maze and help make screams come true!” Maze admission is $12 per person, per entry or $44 for a party of four (must be used same night). Tickets are only sold at the door by cash or credit card. The maze is ADA accessible. There will be onsite food and drinks provided by The Florence Events Center.

but you also truly sign your life away,” she said. Being a mother in the military came with some guilt. “If you're a parent in the military, there are places you go for months at a time where you don't see your family. Unfortunately you lose your life at times,” she said. “If you think about the quote freedom isn't free – the freedom you see with everyone walking down the street every day, it's not just handed to you. It's at the cost of other peoples’ lives,” McGarigal said. “That isn't super apparent in the Coast Guard, but I am very aware of it because I was in the Coast Guard.” As a Hispanic woman, McGarigal said she also sees the opportunities that come with serving in the military. “In my last office in L.A. we were all Hispanic and I worked with men who came from single moms. They were so grateful for their job and the opportunities the military had given them. Those are opportunities that they wouldn't have had. They wouldn’t have

Even though she was ready for a change, McGarigal said she struggled to leave because of the benefits of being in the military. It was a loss in her family that gave McGarigal the courage to follow her dreams. She said it is difficult to talk about. “The last year that I was active duty, my mom died of breast cancer. It was knowing your life can end at any moment. My mom was super healthy. The first yoga class I ever took was with my mom. It really pushed me to follow my dreams and be here today,” McGarigal said. She now owns and teaches yoga at The House of Asana in downtown Coos Bay. The yoga studio has been open since Oct. 2021 and has been embraced by the community. Being the owner of a yoga studio comes with its own triumphs and struggles, McGarigal said. But it is something she wouldn’t change. “I love the connection that I see happen

in this space. It's when I hear from a student that they had back pain for the past ten years and no longer have back pain. Or when I see two people that didn't know each other before and are now best friends because they come to the studio every day. Or the smile on people's faces when they leave at the end of a class, or when they cry at the end of a class. There's nothing quite like being able to give that to people,” she said. “The world – it's hard. It is hard to live, to survive, to parent, to work. To be able to give people a place where they get to de-stress, decompress, be their true selves, honor their body, heal themselves – it is incredibly rewarding,” McGarigal said.

She has served in several community-focused capacities since 1990, including serving as the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce president in 2017.

After experiences in cities like Los Angeles, New Jersey, and Amsterdam, Engelke returned home to North Bend in 2010. Along with her husband, Steven Ryan, and two daughters, Emily and Sophia, she has actively contributed to her community. The governance structure of the LOC is composed of a 16-member board of directors, including four officers and 12 directors. Officers serve on a one-year term in a four-year rotation, whereas directors are on a three-year term. Notably, the board also includes non-voting members, which might include past presidents or elected officials from unrepresented regions.

A Word, Please:

Among and between By June Casagrande

Can two people talk among themselves? Can three people have disagreements between them? According to some of the more strict language authorities, no. That’s not how “among” and “between” work. But in the real world, the definitions are more forgiving. Let’s start with this rule for publishers explained in the Chicago Manual of Style: “‘Between’ indicates one-toone relationships (between you and me). ‘Among’ indicates undefined or collective relationships (honor among thieves).” What if you have one-on-one activities within a group of more than two? For example, when you’re talking about pairs of member countries of the European Union that trade with each other? The Chicago Manual says “between” works in these situations because you’re still talking about one-on-one exchanges: “‘Between’ has long been recognized as being perfectly appropriate for more than two objects if multiple one-to-one relationships are understood from the context (trade between members of the European Union).” The equally influential Associated Press Stylebook has the same rule: “The maxim that ‘between’ introduces two items and ‘among’ introduces more than two covers most questions about how to use these words: ‘The choice is between fish and tofu. The funds were divided among Ford, Carter and McCarthy.’” AP agrees that one-on-one relationships within larger groups get “between,” as well: “‘Between’ is the correct word when expressing the relationships of three or more items considered one pair at a time: ‘The games between the Yankees, Phillies and Mets have been rollicking ones.’” As far as anyone can tell, this rule dates back to 1851 when the “Grammar of English Grammars” (not published, as far as I know, by the Department of Redundancy Department) by a language expert named Goold Brown, insisted that “between” used for more than two people or things “is a misapplication of the word ‘between,’ which cannot have reference to more than two.” Other grammar authors followed Brown’s lead, and the idea caught hold that you can never say, as Jane Austen did: “This, of course, is between our three discreet selves.”

Which authorities did Brown and the others base their rule on? None, as far as linguists can tell. In fact, it seems these restrictive grammarians were laying down the law in open defiance of the grammar experts who came before them, most notably one Noah Webster, who wrote in his 1828 definition of “between”: “We observe that ‘between’ is not restricted to two.” Today’s style guides seem to have fallen under the spell of the 1850s disrupters and not the old-timers like Webster. But for us regular folks who just want to use the language well, it’s good to remember that AP and the Chicago Manual aren’t rule books. They’re style guides, so they apply only to publishers following that style. For everyday people, a good dictionary works fine. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary says that while “between” is “especially appropriate to denote one-on-one relationships,” the idea that it only applies to groups of two is “unfounded.” It’s fine, this dictionary says, to use it for more than two things, as in “between you, me and the lamppost.” Merriam’s adds that “between” also works for unspecified numbers, as in “cooperation between nations,” and even “when only one item is mentioned (but repetition is implied): ‘pausing between every sentence to rap the floor.’” Merriam’s warns that if you try too hard to please the old-school grammarians, you can end up with bad sentences like: “The author alternates among mod slang, clichés and quotes from literary giants.” Obviously, “between” would be better here. “Among,” Merriam’s says, is more appropriate where the emphasis is on distribution rather than individual relationships: “discontent among the peasants.” Finally, if you’ve been wondering about “amongst,” my advice and that of other editors and publishers is to avoid it when you can. Merriam’s dictionary says, “‘amongst’ can be used in place of ‘among’ if you want to sound fancy.” But that’s a bad idea if you want to keep your reader focused on your message and not your fancy, fancy words. — June Casagrande is the author of “The Joy of Syntax: A Simple Guide to All the Grammar You Know You Should Know.”

Young George’s Booze-Filled Election By J. Mark Powell

InsideSources.com

There’s no escaping it. Campaign ’24 is in full swing, and before long, your TV and computer screens will be dominated by commercials asking for your vote. That’s how politicians win elections these days. All that advertising is expensive, and a candidate better be prepared to shell out serious bucks if he’s serious about winning. Nearly 268 years ago, a young candidate learned the hard way that going cheap doesn’t pay when seeking public office. Long before he became the Father of Our Country, George Washington was burning with ambition. He had a lot going for him. Just 23, tall, strapping and handsome, he was fresh from service in the French and Indian War, where he had made headlines on both sides of the Atlantic. Clearly, young George was going places. In December 1755, he threw his tricorn hat into the ring and announced his candidacy for a seat in the House of Burgesses. It was Colonial Virginia’s state legislature. As the New World’s first democratically elected legislative body, it was highly influential in shaping the way we Americans govern ourselves. George figured his celebrity status would be enough to carry him to victory. And George figured wrong. In Colonial times, voters had certain expectations of their political candidates. Office-seekers were unofficially required to spend Election Day warmly pumping every hand in sight and offering voters all the free alcohol they could drink. George had a reserved personality. Glad-handing didn’t come easy to him. Being a young man who wasn’t rolling in dough, he also scrimped on the free hootch, too. It was a big mistake. People resented not wetting their whistle at the candidate’s expense. When the votes were counted, the man who would eventually be described as “first in the hearts of his countrymen” came in second. It was a bitter blow. But you can say this much for Washington: He learned from his mistakes. Because, when the next election rolled around in 1758, George was ready to seriously party with voters.

This time, he dug deep into his pockets and let the booze flow like the Mississippi River at flood stage. He sprang for gallons of rum, the Colonists’ very favorite drink. People were so crazy about it in the years before the Revolution; it’s estimated every man, woman and (incredible as this now sounds) even some children drank 3.7 gallons of the sweet spirit every year. But George didn’t stop there. He provided a form of joy juice for almost every electoral taste. Rum punch, beer, wine, hard apple cider … if you could get sloshed on it, George had it. In all, a staggering 160 gallons of alcoholic drinks. That was a half gallon for each vote Washington received. Those thirsty Virginians drank every last drop, too. And it worked. George finally found out what the winning side of election night felt like. Washington served seven years in the House of Burgesses, and then … well, you know the rest of the story. Yet the lesson he learned the hard way was lost on another prominent Revolutionary-era candidate. In 1777, 26-year-old James Madison also sought a seat in Virginia’s legislature. Although brilliant, “Little Jemmy” was also painfully shy with limited cash on hand. So there was little handshaking and even less hard stuff for voters. Madison bitterly attributed his defeat to a lack of “the corrupting influence of spirituous liquors and other treats.” Getting back to George, the career that culminated in pioneering the U.S. presidency was launched on a wave of free alcohol. A parting note to any political candidates who may be reading this: What worked for Washington in 1758 won’t help your chances for victory in 2024. Bad things happen today to politicians who give drinks in exchange for votes. Save the spirituous fermenti for election night to either toast your win or drown your sorrow. ABOUT THE WRITER J.

Join us on the evening of Thursday, November 2, 2023, at 6:30 pm in the Umpqua Hall lecture room 184 on the Coos Campus, 1988

Newmark Ave. Madison Davis from The University of Wyoming and SWOCC SPEAR Alumni will be talking about how her experiences with the SPEAR research team and Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium (OSGC) geared her to pursue opportunities with the Wyoming NASA Space Grant and other research disciplines. Although she did not pursue a degree in physics or astronomy, she says she was thrilled

to be able to participate in atmospheric research that incorporated her passion of microbiology. Davis became a member of the LIFT Project – Learning to Integrate Fundamentals through Teaching (A Wyoming NASA Space Grant project) where she and her team created a payload to capture microbes from the stratosphere. She also became involved with STEAM outreach through the Wyoming NASA Space Grant and Big Broth-

ers and Big Sisters of America. While wildlife disease research does not overlap greatly with physics and astronomy research, she says the skills that she has gained through OSGC has helped her become a resilient scientist. For those unable to attend in-person, the talk will be streamed live through Southwestern’s YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube. com/playlist?list=PLLyo3uIvZEJLAv9maSe_ aO8naW3ypdjEO.

The front page of the Western World for May 19, 1960, told the story of Ernie Luther (first photo) being chosen as Citizen of the Year by local educators. Ernie was given the coveted award at the annual Appreciation Night Banquet given by the Bandon teachers for members of the school board, retiring teachers and citizens of the year candidates. "Luther was selected for his work in the Bandon Cub Scout program, the summer recreation PeeWee baseball program of which he is director, youth chairman of the Bandon Lions Club and his general work with young people. "Since coming here two years ago, he has taken a most active interest in the youth of the community and has given many hundreds of hours without pay in directing those activities. "Other nominees for the high award were Harris 'Silver' Martindale, janitor of the Bandon Heights school, who was honored for his friendship and help to the young people of the schools. He has been very Active in the Lion's committee for children's activities. Mrs. Ray Peacock was the third candidate." Chairman of the school board Elmer Gant gave a short speech. Mrs. Luella Will, president of the Bandon teachers, installed the new officers, while Mrs. Zerva Glasscock gave a humorous reading. Supt. Roland L. Parks was master of ceremonies. The second item comes from the July 30, 1925, Western World. "Bandon is only just beginning to see the fulfillment of its dream of being a summer resort and the effort and money that has been expended here during the past two years to make things more attractive and convenient for tourists and vacationists will be returned several times over with interest. "The new road around the bluff to the beach, the numerous comfortable cottages (second photo) that have been built and the new natatorium are long-needed developments, according to a visitor who suggests a road down to the beach and a planked parking space for automobiles as a logical and valuable extension of what has already been done.

As I See It: Citizen of the year things handy and comfortable for the vacationists and they will go back inland and do more advertising for your resort than you could get through the expenditure of thousands of dollars otherwise. But don't give them an opportunity to knock. They can do you a lot of damage if they are dissatisﬁed for any reason, and there are a lot of little things that will rouse the ire of the touring public." The 60-point headline in the Feb. 11, 1937, Western World tells the story of the Cottoneva (third photo) which went aground at Port Orford. "The Cottoneva, formerly the Frank Stout, the ﬁrst vessel to call at the port of Port Orford since the maritime strike, is fast aground opposite the Knapp Hotel, a total loss. The captain and crew of some 28 were taken off by the Port Orford U.S. Coast Guard crew. "The vessel arrived in port Tuesday, dropped its anchors and drifted alongside the new wharf which had been built inside the main structure that washed away last winter, and started loading. About 200,000 feet of lumber had been put aboard when at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, the captain decided that the southwest wind was getting too strong for safety and he started to put to sea. "The vessel was pointed seaward. In pulling against the portside anchor to get away from the wharf, the anchor chain apparently fouled and broke. The wind held the vessel back, drifted it sideways and turned it completely around. Separate effort was put forth to back out against the breeze with the engines in reverse, but without success. All the time the vessel drifted and it is believed struck the steam chest, part of the wreckage of the steamer Victoria which sank in the Port Orford harbor in 1883. Realizing that it was impossible to buck the wind and get out of the harbor the captain apparently gave the engines full steam ahead and ran the vessel on the beach in order to save the crew and cargo. "The Cottoneva is now about 400 feet down the coast from Battle Rock. It is inside from where the Joan of Arc was wrecked in 1919. The vessel, a wooden craft built in 1917, is somewhat larger than the steamer Bandon but of similar type. It's home port is San

Francisco." ---------------------------One of my favorite people that I always loved talking to in the coffee shop when I spent time at my home in Powers was Mearl McDaniel Jr., and I was shocked and saddened to learn that he had allegedly been killed by his 39-year-old grandson, Robert T. "Robbie" McDaniel, in a disturbance at Broadbent Friday shortly before noon. I understand from Powers friends that Robbie had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and may have had other problems as well. Apparently, he had been ﬁred from Rose City Wood Products at Broadbent, commonly known as the Adamek (Jim) Mill, the previous day, and had allegedly returned to the mill Friday with a weapon with which he was threatening the mill manager, Frank Adamek. Someone reportedly called Mearl, asking him to come to the mill and help defuse the situation. Instead, he ended up losing his life. Robert McDaniel was arrested on the charge of second-degree murder and was taken to the Coos County Jail where he was booked and remains in custody. Mearl's granddaughter, Stephanie Patterson, is the long-time city administrator for the City of Powers. My heart goes out to his family, including his longtime friend Florence Sturman, for such a senseless tragedy. The community is grieving! ---------------------------The annual free drive-through ﬂu shot clinic, hosted by Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center and the Southern Coos Health Foundation, is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 25, from sunrise to 1 p.m. or while supplies last, in Bandon City Park on 11th Street. A spokesman said both the regular and the high-dose vaccine (for those 65 and older) will be available. Donations are welcome. ---------------------------All Bandon area Veterans are reminded that the annual group photo, which will appear in The World on Veterans Day, will be taken Saturday, Oct. 21, at 10:30 a.m. in the high school gymnasium. The photo page is sponsored by Joseph Bain Insurance, The World and the Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center. ----------------------------

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, Oct. 28, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the VFW Hall on Bates Road for Edith Hunt Winters, who died May 6 in Bandon at the age of 99. She would have been 100 years old on Oct. 27. Among her survivors are two sons, Barry and Jodie Winters and Dan and Riki Winters. Preceding her in death was her husband, Roger Winters; son, Steve Winters; daughter, Debbie Winters-Llewellyn; and her twin sister, Edna, as well as other siblings. ---------------------------People are reminded that the annual Holiday Meals, both Thanksgiving and Christmas, will not be held this year, due to various circumstances, according to co-chairman Colleen Wiesel. ---------------------------A spokesman for the Riverview Christian Fellowship of Coos Bay posted on Facebook Thursday that Pastor Daniel Fox and his wife Anna had landed in the Paciﬁc Northwest with half of the Israel team from Calvary Corvallis. The group was in Israel when the war broke out

and had been there for several days before they were able to leave. The remaining members of the worship team were said to be arriving in the Northwest the next day. Daniel is the son of Pastor Matt Fox and his wife, and he attended school in Bandon. His sister, Amanda (Mrs. Greg) Looney, had been able to speak to Daniel when they were still in Israel, and had been keeping friends and family posted. ---------------------------Don't forget the Bandon Recycling Event Wednesday, Oct. 18, from 5 to 7 at the Bandon Library.

100 Strong Bandon support library friends Members of 100 Strong Bandon recently selected Bandon Library Friends and Foundation for their quarterly charity to support. Members contributed $5,525 and received a grant of $2,662.50, for a total gift of $8,187.50, their largest gift to-date. Funding from 100 Strong Bandon will be used by BLFF to purchase adult books for the Bandon Public Library. The library is a member of the Coos County Library Service District, which receives its funding through a dedicated tax rate. However, the library’s usage is very high for the size of the population, and current funding barely covers basic operational expenses. Private support is needed to add current materials to the collection. Library Director Christine Kingsbury noted, “We are extremely grateful for the support from 100 Strong. Bringing in new titles is critical to providing quality library services. Funds received will be used to purchase new adult materials for the library for the entire year. This support is essential to our mission, and we appreciate 100 Strong helping us create a positive place in our community for education, entertainment, and engagement.” 100 Strong Bandon is a women’s

giving circle. Quarterly, the members meet, select a 501(c)(3) charity that benefits Bandon area residents and make a tax-deductible donation of $50 or more directly to that charity. In addition, the charity selected by the group in the prior quarter presents a report on how they used the funds and thanks the donors. Founders Julie Miller and MaryAnn Soukup are excited about the impact of these funds within our community and the idea of neighbors helping neighbors in this simple set-up. Over $75,000 has been donated since the founding of the group in 2017. The charities previously selected include Bandon Feeds the Hungry, Bandon Educational Foundation, New Artists Productions, Friends of Bandon Parks, Kids’ HOPE Center, St John’s Medical Loan Closet and South Coast Hospice. In addition to financial support, Soukup notes that charities also have received volunteer manpower from the group to accomplish their goals. There is no membership fee to join 100 Strong Bandon, and all funds raised go directly to charity. The group is open to women 18 years and older living in the Bandon area. Guests are welcome to attend; however, to nominate a charity or to vote,

SMART Reading Seeking Volunteers in Coos County Reading is a critical skill for helping kids start, and stay, on a path to success in school and beyond. Across Oregon, students in early grades are still behind in reading skills as a result of the pandemic, which is a concern not only for educators and parents, but for the entire community. SMART Reading, a statewide children’s literacy nonprofit, is committed to providing two key ingredients to support young readers: individualized reading time and access to books. In the 2022-23 school year, SMART Reading reopened its in-person reading programs after providing virtual support during the pandemic. Now, with the 2023-24 school year underway, SMART is poised to reach over 300 students in Coos County and give away 5,200 books. To do that, the organization needs more community members to sign up to volunteer. Volunteers are needed to fill two important roles: • Readers who are

paired with the same child or classroom weekly, sharing the joy of reading, building confidence, and helping set students up for a lifetime of success. • Site Coordinators who act as SMART’s on-the-ground leads at each site, overseeing and implementing the weekly reading sessions. Right now, the organization needs a site coordinator for Eastside Elementary, and both readers and a site coordinator for Hillcrest Elementary. “We are very excited to keep supporting early literacy and a love for reading for the kids in our community,” says Della Harp, SMART Reading Southwest area director. “Both Volunteer readers and site coordinators are the key to being able to keep our programs running, and I encourage the community to get involved and spread the word.” Volunteer readers spend an hour a week reading with kindergarten through third-grade children, and site coordinators spend two to

Dear Abby By

Abigail Van Buren

Dear Abby:

I am one of nine children who all still get along. One sibling belongs to a religious order. At least one (for sure) is not a Christian. One is a born-again Christian. One of us is gay and married. We are not all of the same political persuasion. Yet somehow, after all these years, we have managed to get along and still gather for family fun, whether it's a holiday or just a cookout. We don't all live in the same state, but more often than not, most of us are there. There's no secret to us still loving as well as liking each other. We simply respect each other's opinions and realize that although we don't always agree, it's not worth cutting out of our lives someone we have known "forever." I can't imagine losing even one sibling over a silly disagreement. That's not to say we haven't had arguments, because we have certainly had our share, but we simply take the high road and agree to disagree. I love my siblings with all my heart. Just wanted to share an uplifting note with you.

— NO PROBLEMS HERE

DEAR NO PROBLEMS: Most of the mail I receive concerns relationships that fractured because of a lack of respect for someone's feelings. Thank you for your, frankly, refreshing letter. If more people emulated your family's example, this world would be a happier, less complicated place in which to live. I wish your attitude were contagious.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

I have been dating "Paul" for several years. He lives about an hour away, and we see each other a few weekends a month. I know he loves me. A few months ago, his dog suddenly died from cancer. It was traumatic because "Bruiser" was his best friend. Paul has been different since Bruiser's death. He has zero interest in anything physical. To me, touch is important -- not just sex. There's shared intimacy in holding someone's hand or kissing. I feel like a plant that's wilting with no sun. I know Paul is struggling, but I don't know how to help him through. We talked about it once, but other than acknowledging he's struggling, he has done nothing further. I don't want to force the issue, but time is precious. I know what it's like to struggle with depression, and I recognize the signs, but he won't get help. How can I support him through this and get over my selﬁshness?

— IN THE DARK IN NEW YORK

DEAR IN THE DARK: Tell Paul you know he is hurting because since Bruiser's death, his behavior has changed. Explain that he may be depressed -- AND WITH GOOD REASON -- and that it might help him to contact his veterinarian and ask if there are grief support groups for pet owners who have lost their furry family member. His vet may be able to suggest one or more. However, if that doesn't appeal to Paul, he should consider talking to his doctor because he is exhibiting some classic signs of depression. After that, the ball's in his court.

The Chamber Minute: You are all leaders

Wasn’t wonderful to turn the TV on Wednesday November 9 la,st year and not see a single political ad? The elections were over, our new leaders set to take ofﬁce and the work of moving our communities down the pathway to success began again. As you have seen over the last year, for them to achieve what we need to happen here, however, required our skills, dedication and time. You don’t have to hold a position to be

a leader. You are all leaders, whether it is in the family, business or community. Leaders who were faced with change and opportunity this past couple years. and will see more challenges in the remainder of this year and into the next. The main opportunity is the mutual support of our friends and neighbors. In the Chamber we call that networking. So, as we face life’s realities together, how can you help? What is your unique talent? Your Chamber has

a spot where you, and only you, have the ability to make things happen. Each person, on your team, has their strengths, issues and special interests. Those are molded into a working body which gets things done by you, their leader. Everyone has their approach to leadership which they have developed through many experiences, both good and challenging. All of them are effective in their own way. Let me share the

ﬁve principles I have used over the past several years: • Respect others—treat all as you would like to be treated. • Be decisive—listen to all sides, then make a timely decision. • Set goals and use them—focus your efforts by using goals to reach the vision you have for tomorrow. • Hard work—be willing to put in the time at any level to get the job done. • Servant’s attitude—In John 13, we have the

greatest example of leadership when Jesus washes the feet of his disciples. His point: true leaders are ﬁrst servants. You do likewise. So be involved, use your unique talents to make a difference for us all and make memories that are stored in the hearts of others. That is success and a life well lived.

Donald Stuart McDonald

Obituaries are on pages 2, 7 & 20

August 28, 1925 - August 20, 2023

After attending mass, taking communion and spending the day at his son's home, Donald Stuart McDonald passed away of natural causes in the early evening at his care center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on August 20,2023. Donald was the first child of five siblings born to Stuart A McDonald and Susan K Greyerbiehl on August 28, 1925 in Bismarck, North Dakota. Stuart McDonald relocated the family to Eugene, Oregon when Donald was a young boy. Donald graduated from St Mary's High School six months early in order to enlist in the United States Navy, January 5, 1943. He was honorably discharged, March 5, 1946 as seaman first class. After his military

service, Donald traveled to St Louis, Missouri to attend diesel mechanics trade school. Upon securing lodging at Osa Angle's boarding house, he met his future wife, Ivaleene "Babe" Angle. They married, November 19, 1949. At the advice of his doctor, Donald had to leave his diesel mechanics employment. He moved his wife and ﬁrst born daughter back to Eugene, Oregon. After the birth of their second child, Donald moved the family to Coos Bay, Oregon in 1952. Donald and Babe joined St Monica's church. Donald maintained a strong relationship with the Catholic faith until the day he died. As the family grew to seven children, Donald worked

a variety of jobs over the years to support his family. One of his ﬁrst adventures on arriving in Coos Bay was starting his own business of supplying and servicing vending machines to the local mills. He later sold his business to and was employed by, Automatic Sales Vending Company which was later bought out by Vend West Services. Donald retired from Vend West at 62. Donald also started his own laundry service business in which he provided and maintained washers and dryers to local apartment buildings and laundry facilities. He managed his business well into his sixties. Donald was an astute stock trader and raised livestock on his six acre country home. As the

children left the nest, Donald and Babe took up the game of golf which soon became Donald's passion. They were members of Kentuck Golf Course and Coos Country Club. Golf provided endless hours of enjoyment for them. One of Donald's greatest golf adventures was traveling to the 2005 Masters in Atlanta, Georgia and watching Tiger Woods play. Donald played golf until the age of 93. After retirement, Donald and Babe sold their home, bought a RV and traveled the USA for 15 years, settling in Avon Park, Florida. They lived there for 11 years until increasing health issues caused them to move to Fort Lauderdale, Florida where their son resides.

Donald is survived by his seven children and their spouses; sister-inlaw, Miyoka McDonald; ﬁve grandchildren; and eight great grandchildren; nephews; nieces; and cousins. He is preceded in death by his wife, Babe, of 72 years; his parents; his four siblings and their three spouses; nephews, Brad and Scotty Larwood; niece,

was a big part of her life. Even in her young life she instilled great qualities of selﬂessness, morality, spirituality and kindness, always wanting to do the right thing, regardless of the outcome. She graduated from South Salem High School in 1967, going on to Oregon State University, where she met the love of her life, Pat Wirth. Terri and Pat were married on August 29, 1970, and they followed his engineering career until

moving home in 1972 to the dairy ranch on Coos River where Pat grew up. Soon after son, Scott was born and then daughter, Molly came along. Terri kept herself busy raising her young family while Pat started a logging venture with his dad which soon became Smith & Wirth Logging. She soon decided to follow her passion for nursing by taking courses and graduating from SWOCC’s nursing program in 1986. She went on to Bay Area Hospital working in orthopedics, and soon went on to serving the public at the Coos County Health Department. After 10 years there came a time when she decided to leave her job and stay home, helping with babysitting and care-taking for the grandchildren. As she grew accustomed to the life on the farm, she came to believe it was the most “ideal” place to live… after all, there were long, stretching ﬁelds to the west ﬁlled with dairy cows and later beef cattle and the fantastic sunsets,

tree-covered mountains surrounding the valley, a ﬂowing river off in the distance (which a couple of times crept strikingly close to the house), and a long-existent elk herd, growing every year, would mosey around their house and the ﬁelds, not to mention the coyote calls often heard in the night. Family meant everything to Terri. She always had such pride and joy in her children and grandchildren, you could hear it in her voice as she spoke of them. She attended countless sporting events and even when her recent illness began to take over and she wasn’t able to go to the games, she anxiously awaited for Pat to come home with his report. In their later years, Pat and Terri spent weeks at a time vacationing in Hawaii, it was one of her favorite places. Sometimes she would take vacations with her besties and Pat would stay behind keeping their home safe and sound. She also was involved with a Bunco group for several years, kept in touch with her sorority sisters, and most recently was

Vicki Gandy; and his granddaughter, Jennifer McDonald. Together, Donald and Babe's ashes will be laid to rest in July, 2024 at Ocean View Memory Gardens in Coos Bay, Oregon. Prior to graveside services, a Catholic mass will be held for them at St Monica's church.

Terri Lee Wirth December 30, 1948 ~ September 21, 2023

A celebration of life for Terri Lee Wirth, 74, will be held at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, 282 W. 6th St., Coquille, Oregon, Saturday, November 4, 2023 at 1:00 p.m., with a reception following in the church social hall. Terri was born on December 30, 1948, to parents, Robert T. and Leola L. (Zander) Judson Jr., at Salem Memorial Hospital in Salem, Oregon, and she passed away at her Coos River home, surrounded by family, on September

21, 2023. Growing up with brother, Robert and sister, Lecia, summers kept her busy with watching after her siblings, babysitting others, and working hard in the strawberry and bean ﬁelds — all the while never complaining and always being patient. They spent many summer nights playing with the neighborhood kids, even after dark. She also volunteered her time at the hospital because helping others

Dr. Philip John Keizer, Sr.

Obituaries are on pages 2, 7 & 18

April 24, 1936 – October 13, 2023 Dr. Philip John Keizer, Sr., a lifetime North Bend resident, and wellknown surgeon, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, died at home on October 13, 2023, at the age of 87. Phil had cardiac amyloidosis and died of a stroke. Phil was born at Keizer Brothers Hospital in North Bend on April 24, 1936, to Dr. Ennis and Frances (Hoffman) Keizer. He went to grade school at St. Monica’s and was student body president of North Bend High School, Class of 1954. Phil graduated from the University of Notre Dame cum laude in 1958, with a Bachelor of Science in Pre-med. One week after graduating, Phil married Ann Pettersen, whom he had dated throughout his college years. They moved to Portland so Phil could attend medical school while Ann taught biology at Wilson High School. Following in the footsteps of his father, uncle, grandfather, and great uncle, Phil graduated from the University of Oregon School of Medicine (now Oregon Health and Science University) in 1962. While living in Portland, Phil and Ann’s first two children, P.J. and Lisa, were born. The family then moved to St. Paul, Minnesota, for his internship and surgical

residency. During this time, their daughter, Clarice, was born. Dr. Keizer went on to distinguish himself as a physician and general surgeon. One of his most important accomplishments was his original research on diagnostic peritoneal lavage (DPL), which became the staple in diagnosis of blunt abdominal trauma prior to the advent of the CT scan. This procedure saved untold lives worldwide. He was awarded the best scientific exhibit at the International College of Surgeons convention in Houston, TX, in 1966. DPL was the featured presentation for the opening session of the 1968 American College of Surgeons convention in San Francisco. He also carved a prototype artificial heart valve used in research, which later was developed for human patients. The family returned to Coos Bay in 1967, where Dr. Keizer became the region’s first board certified surgeon. Their children, Karen and Teddy, were both born in North Bend, at the Keizer Brothers Hospital. Dr. Keizer practiced medicine with his father at the North Bend Medical Group, later renamed North Bend Medical Center (NBMC). Dr. Keizer

was the fifth of seven physicians in his family to practice medicine in this community. In 1923, his great uncle, Dr. Phil Keizer, and his grandfather, Dr. Russell Keizer, built the Keizer Brothers Hospital in North Bend. His father, Dr. Ennis Keizer, and his uncle, Dr. John Keizer continued the tradition of practicing medicine in North Bend. In 1953, Dr. Ennis Keizer founded the North Bend Medical Group. Later Phil’s brother, Dr. Russell Keizer, and Phil’s son, Dr. P.J. Keizer, Jr. practiced in Coos Bay after the clinic was moved to its current location. Phil was proud of his role in helping establish the Bay Area Hospital (BAH), his work as building Chairman of the North Bend Medical Center in Coos Bay, and as the first physician to use a physician assistant in Oregon. At NBMC, where he practiced medicine for over 30 years, he created the first outpatient surgery center in the state of Oregon and second in the country. Dr. Keizer was the first to surgically repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm on the Oregon coast. He served as Chief of Staff at Keizer Memorial Hospital, Chief of Surgery at BAH, board member of NBMC, and President of the Southwestern Oregon Medical Society. Along with his service to

the Coos Bay and North Bend community in the medical field, Dr. Keizer was an active member of the Coos Bay-North Bend Rotary Club and Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. He also served in the National Guard while in Minnesota and Oregon. Phil may be most remembered as someone who could lighten any event with an entertaining story or a well-timed joke that would leave his audience, as well as himself, rolling in laughter. As an avid traveler, he visited 86 countries and 6 continents over the course of his life, from above the Arctic Circle to the tip of Cape Horn. A sixth generation Oregonian, he loved telling the story of the Keizer wagon train of 1843. The Keizer’s were the first to take wagons the entire way across the Oregon Trail, to ultimately found the town of Keizer. Phil was happiest at large family gatherings and spending time with his closest friends. He relaxed most days of his life by playing the piano, especially the blues, jazz, and his own compositions. His specialty was Boogiewoogie. He loved the outdoors, whether he was skiing the slopes of Mt. Bachelor, fly fishing at Ten Mile Lake, or salmon fishing in the ocean. As a teenager, Phil was the first to go barefoot waterskiing

at Lakeside, and at a community event, Phil water skied across the Mingus Park pool, pulled by a rope attached to his jeep. Dr. Keizer is survived by his wife of 65 years, Ann and five children: Dr. P.J. Keizer, wife, Elena Keizer, and grandchildren, Johnny, Julia, and Tommy of Coos Bay; Lisa LaGesse, husband, Dr. Phil LaGesse and grandchildren, Laura, Karen, and George of North Bend; Clarice Weeks, husband, Keith Weeks and granddaughters, Anna, Mara, and Ella of West Linn; Karen Thrift, husband, Scott Thrift and grandsons, Alexander and Charlie of Redwood City, CA; Teddy Keizer, wife, Ann Sulzer and grandchildren, Lincoln and Caroline of Portland. He was preceded in death by his parents;

brother, Dr. Russell Keizer; sister, Ann Engelcke; and granddaughter, Katherine Keizer. Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am, Saturday, October 28, 2023, at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, at 2250 16th Street, in North Bend, with Fr. Paschal Ezurike officiating. A Rosary will precede his funeral at 10:30 am and a reception will follow at the church hall. The family suggests contributions to the Coos Foundation, Inc, PO Box 1375, Coos Bay, Oregon 97420, a nonprofit founded by his father through Rotary to benefit local projects in the Coos Bay area. Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-2673131. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals.com
