Hospital, labor union at impasse

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

An impasse with the union that represents half of the employees at Bay Area Hospital has put the ability of the hospital to function at risk.

Kim Winker, director of marketing and communications for the hospital, released a press release Monday, explaining the hospital simply cannot afford to meet the demands of the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 555. The union is asking for a 20% pay raise and other increases that would cost the hospital more than $13 million in the first year.

The hospital has offered a package that includes a 14% pay raise and other benefit increases at a cost of $4.7 million in the first year.

Talks between management at the hospital and the union began in June of last year. Despite meeting many times and presenting different offers, the two sides have been unable to come to an

agreement.

“As the months passed, Bay Area Hospital presented several proposals designed to bring union members’ salaries up to or above market rates and enhance our contribution to the retirement fund for these employees,” Winker wrote. “The UFCW rejected our first year package encompassing retroactive raises across the board, which on average, amount to a 14% boost to UFCW represented employees' base wages. We also offered increases in shift differentials, doubled our 401(k) contribution, enhanced our PTO offerings, and, for the first time ever, incentivized employees for working additional shifts. Our total package represents a $4.7 million dollars investment in our employees in the first year of the contract.”

Winker said the union kept its demand of a pay raise of nearly 20%, plus significant increases to differentials, pension, PTO, and other benefit increases.

About Fire Adapted Oregon The OSFM’s Fire Adapted Oregon initiative was created to help prepare communities for wildfire and reduce its impacts. Fire Adapted Oregon offers education and training to empower communities to protect themselves and their property from wildfire. Learn more here.

About Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) A CWPP is a plan developed by a community in an area at risk from wildfire. The community wildfire protection planning process is the collaboration between communities and agencies interested in reducing wildfire risk.

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

Coos and Curry counties are two of several across the state that will receive a portion of $2.7 million from the Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) for wildfire risk reduction projects.

The OSFM said the strategic onetime investment is being made at local and county levels through community wildfire protection plans (CWPP).

Reduction efforts The projects include promoting wildfire-specific community risk reduction efforts, community education, defensible space projects, home assessments, media campaigns, signage, fuel mitigation programs, and grant funds.

The OSFM’s fire risk reduction specialists worked with local CWPP planning groups to determine where funding was needed. This selection process was based on actionable projects, underserved communities, and the risk of fire in or near communities.

The reduction efforts will take place in 25 CWPP planning areas located in Baker, Benton, Clackamas, Coos, Crook, Curry, Deschutes, Douglas,

City Council proclaims March, 2023 So, What’s Wrong as Brain Injury Awareness Month With Healthcare, Part 1 regarding natural disasters and buildable lands.

In conclusion of his presentation, Callister laid out the council's options.

1. Move to adopt a resolution accepting the draft Project in its entirety for compliance with the DLCD grant.

2. Recommended by the Planning Commission, move to: Adopt the Housing Needs analysis by resolution; Except for amendments to Section 7.9 regarding Growth Management, adopt by ordinance the Comprehensive Plan amendments related to the draft 2022 HNA; Accept the draft preliminary Urban Growth Boundary expansion memo as informational/advisory for further evaluation with a decision on each by January 10, 2024.

This option would require a continuance to the March 7, 2023, Council meeting for preparation of an ordinance.

3. Move to continue the meeting to March 7, 2023, with direction for future action.

In the regular council session on Feb. 22, the meeting began with public comment, and Mayor Joe Benetti proclaimed the month of March 2023 as "Brain Injury Awareness Month" in the City of Coos Bay at the behest of Bittin Duggan in public comment.

The council then unanimously approved the consent calendar.

There was then a public hearing regarding the housing needs analysis. After a brief statement

by Carolyn Johnson, Community Development Administrator, a presentation was given by Jacob Callister of Lane Council of Governments.

Callister noted that there have been changes in "data and circumstances" since the 2020 Housing Needs Analysis. Where the 2020 analysis identified 480 acres of buildable land for residential growth, this number has now shrunk to 279 available acres in this most recent analysis. Callister also noted challenges in expanding the Urban Growth Boundary in Coos Bay. Callister also noted changes to the analysis to include a section

accepted the report without resolution to fulfill the DLCD grant.

Next, the council discussed upgrading and replacing city servers to which body cam and surveillance footage are uploaded.

The council approved the purchase and installation of hardware not to exceed the cost of $158,474.

Following that resolution, the council moved to approve the 2023-2025 Council Goals, which were adopted unanimously.

Holly Boardman, the Executive Director of the Coos Bay Downtown Association (CBDA), then presented the semi-annual report to the city.

Boardman discussed CBDA's four committees: Organization, Design, Economic Vitality, and Promotions.

She also introduced the council to its board members and discussed their accomplishments.

Next, the President of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, Stacy Dewater, delivered the semi-annual report on the chamber to the city.

Dewater discussed programs and events the chamber has presented.

After discussions of additional city business, the meeting was adjourned.

There was never a computer screen in the room. Your doctor would actually see you, take the time to listen to you, physically examine you, formulate a diagnosis, tell you what he or she thought was wrong and treat your condition

appropriately. At that point you’d pay the doctor a reasonable fee for the services and you were out the door. Interaction over. Probably 95% of all physician encounters could still be managed this simply.

Feedback loops make climate action even more urgent, scientists say

By STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Article

An international collaboration led by Oregon State University scientists has identified 27 global warming accelerators known as amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may not be fully accounted for in climate models.

They note that the findings, published today in the journal One Earth, add urgency to the need to respond to the climate crisis and provide a roadmap for policymakers aiming to avert the most severe consequenc-

es of a warming planet.

In climate science, amplifying feedback loops are situations where a climate-caused alteration can trigger a process that causes even more warming, which in turn intensifies the alteration. An example would be warming in the Arctic, leading to melting sea ice, which results in further warming because sea water absorbs rather than reflects solar radiation.

OSU College of Forestry postdoctoral scholar Christopher Wolf and distinguished professor William Ripple led the study, which in all

Mitigate the possible major threats looming from climate tipping points that are drawing ever-closer due to the prevalence of the many amplifying feedback loops.

A tipping point is a threshold after which a change in a component of the climate system becomes self-perpetuating.

“Transformative, socially just changes in global energy and transportation, shortlived air pollution, food production, nature preservation and the international economy, together with population policies based on education and equality, are needed to meet these challenges in both the short and long term,” Ripple said. “It’s too late to fully prevent the pain of climate change, but if we take meaningful steps soon while prioritizing human basic needs and social justice, it could still be possible to limit

the harm.”

Ripple, Wolf and co-authors from the University of Exeter, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, the Woodwell Climate Research Center and Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Associates considered both biological and physical feedbacks.

Biological feedbacks include forest dieback, soil carbon loss and wildfire; physical feedbacks involve changes such as reduced snow cover, increased Antarctic rainfall and shrinking arctic sea ice.

Even comparatively modest warming is expected to heighten the likelihood that the Earth will cross various tipping points, the researchers say, causing big changes in the planet’s climate system and potentially strengthening the amplifying feedbacks.

“Climate models may be underestimating the acceleration in global temperature

change because they aren’t fully considering this large and related set of amplifying feedback loops,” Wolf said.

“The accuracy of climate models is crucial as they help guide mitigation efforts by telling policymakers about the expected effects of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. While recent climate models do a much better job of incorporating diverse feedback loops, more progress is needed.”

Emissions have risen substantially over the last century, the researchers note, despite several decades of warnings that they should be significantly curbed. The scientists say interactions among feedback loops could cause a permanent shift away from the Earth’s current climate state to one that threatens the survival of Please see CLIMATE, Page A16

looked at 41 climate change feedbacks.

“Many of the feedback loops we examined significantly increase warming because of their connection to greenhouse gas emissions,” Wolf said. “To the best of our knowledge, this is the most extensive list available of climate feedback loops, and not all of them are fully considered in climate models.

What’s urgently needed is more research and modeling and an accelerated cutback of emissions.”

The paper makes two calls to action for “immediate and massive” emissions reductions: Minimize short-term warming given that “climate disasters” in the form of wildfires, coastal flooding, permafrost thaw, intense storms and other extreme weather are already occurring.

Three Rivers Seed gathering effort to safe ash trees Foundation Awards $1.1 Million To More Than 100 Oregon Nonprofits The World

Courtesy photo from ODF

Between 2019 and the end of 2022, five ODF staff members collected more than 900,000 seeds from 245 mother trees.

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) staff has completed what officials are calling an unprecedented effort to collect seeds from populations of Oregon ash (Fraxinus latifolia) trees throughout the Oregon portion of the species range.

ODF officials said the collection was conducted before the Oregon ash trees are wiped out by an invasive pest.

Between 2019 and the end of 2022, five ODF staff members collected more than 900,000 seeds from 245 mother trees representing 27 distinct populations from the Oregon Coast Range throughout the Willamette Valley and the western Cascade foothills, and south to the California border.

The collecting effort was made possible by a federal grant from the USDA Forest Service. ODF Invasive Species Specialist Wyatt Williams coordinated the collecting and where the seeds were sent for safe storage and studies.

“We learned from our counterparts that almost all the native ash in infested areas in the eastern half of the country were killed within 10 years or so after the arrival of the invasive emerald ash borer,” Williams said. “We sought a grant to help us collect a representative sampling of seeds so we could preserve as much of the genetic variation in Oregon ash as possible before it was lost.”

Williams said ash seed that was collected was cleaned and sorted at ODF’s JE Schroeder Seed Orchard facility in St. Paul, Oregon.

A third of the seeds were sent to the primary long-term storage facility at the Center for Agricultural Resources Research (ARS) National Seed Lab in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Equal amounts were also sent to the USDA Forest Service’s Dorena Genetic Resource Center in Cottage Grove and to the USDA Agricultural Research Service’s North Central Regional Plant Introduction Station in Ames, Iowa. This will allow both sites to help facilitate

research on Oregon ash, the only species of ash native to the state, according to Williams.

“Researchers can plant some of the seeds in areas where emerald ash borer is present in significant numbers and see if any of the seedling trees show resistance to the insect,” he said.

The first two genetic trials of ash were planted recently, using seed collected by ODF and others, and will serve as sentinels for resistance as EAB spreads to those areas.

“If some trees survive, those resistant trees could become the basis for reintroducing the species to western Oregon," Williams said. "Resistant trees would be crossed with other Oregon ash to establish resistance while retaining genetic diversity.”

USDA Forest Service Forest Geneticist Richard Sniezko at Dorena said such a process could take many decades, based on results from programs to breed white pine trees resistant to white pine blister rust or Port Orford-cedar trees resistant to Port Orford-cedar root disease.

“We don’t know if we will find resistance or if we do, how durable it will be," Sniezko said. "But by preserving the full range of genetic diversity in the species if we do find resistance we can ensure trees that are cross-bred and reintroduced are well suited to all parts of their habitat range.”

The Dorena center is a world-leader in resistant population development and has had success with several conifer species in other resistance breeding programs.

Background Likely introduced on wooden shipping material from Asia, emerald ash borer was discovered in the Michigan area in 2022. Despite numerous attempts to eradicate the pest, it proved impractical to stop the spread. It was first found in Oregon in Forest Grove in late June 2022.

Monitoring since then has shown infested trees beyond the original site extending into nearby natural areas, where Oregon ash grows in abundance in wetlands and along streams.

Emerald ash borer is readily transported in infested wood, especially firewood.

That’s one reason state and federal officials urge campers and others to buy firewood near where they plan to burn it, and not transport ash wood outside areas known to be infested.

“The strategy in Oregon is to slow the spread to give communities time to deal with the threat,” Williams said. “That way, communities will have more time to inventory their urban forest and identify all their ash trees, then make decisions about which ones to treat or remove preemptively. It also gives the time to make arrangements for what to do with all the ash wood that will become available as trees die.”

Williams said the cost to replace public ash trees in Portland, Oregon alone was estimated in 2017 to be $49 million, and is likely higher today.

The state of Oregon began surveys for emerald ash borer in 2005, sponsored by USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection Service. ODF managed a statewide trapping program for EAB during the 20132015 summer when adult emerald ash borers emerge.

About 800 surveillance traps were set. No EAB were found at that time.

Oregon also used USDA funding to build and implement the Oregon Forest Pest Detector Program.

This program, administered through Oregon State University Extension, educates tree care, forestry, and other professionals on how to find and report emerald ash borer.

Started in 2015, over 500 people have been trained at 29 workshops across the state.

ODF also secured USDA Forest Service grant funding to develop a statewide EAB Readiness and Response Plan. The plan was released in May 2018. Collecting ash seeds from Oregon’s native ash species aligns with recommended action items in the statewide plan regarding conservation and restoration of ash following arrival of emerald ash borer into Oregon.

The Three Rivers Foundation, established by the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians as the charitable arm of its Three Rivers Casino Resort, awarded $1.1 million in funding to 117 organizations in Oregon.

Three Rivers Foundation is honored to impact the missions of these nonprofit organizations. With almost 10,000 nonprofits operating in Oregon, funding is crucial.

The foundation received a major increase in applications this year, allowing it to grant 62 nonprofits first-time grant funding.

"It makes my heart feel good,” said Doug Barrett, Tribal Council member. “It feels good getting to see what these organizations are doing with the money, whether it be the food banks, helping the youth through their struggles, whatever the money goes, it is pretty awesome."

The Three Rivers Foundation supports innovative ideas, collaborative approaches and grassroots efforts in education, health, public safety, problem gambling, the arts, the environment, cultural activities and historic preservation. Several members of the Tribal Council were present at a February 16 luncheon at the Florence Casino held to honor the grant recipients.

"When I have a rough time throughout the year, I think of today as a positive energy that's going on in this room, helping the community, bringing the community together, and strengthening it. What a positive thing to do," said Chief Doc Slyter, Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians.

The Cascades Raptor Center was one of the 117 nonprofits to receive funding.

The Foundation awarded the popular center $10,000 to expand its educational programming.

"Now we will be able to serve more communities, rural communities who don't have the means to rent buses or make it to the raptor center for education," said Jennifer Monegan, Senior Development Officer Cascades Raptor Center. "It's such an incredible gift to the community from the Three Rivers Foundation."

Children's Repertory Of Oregon Workshops (C.R.O.W.) received $21,000.

It will use the funding to support its main stage musical, The SpongeBob Musical.

"It's amazing, and we are so grateful for the funding," said Melanie Heard, founder of C.R.O.W. "The Three Rivers Foundation is incredible! They do so much for the community; every need has been met and is truly touching. The arts are really important, and it was very special that the Three Rivers Foundation recognized that."

Boys and Girls Club of Western Lane County received $25,000. It plans on using the grant to fund its outside healthy habitat for its kids and teens to use in the cold and rainy winter and spring months.

“There's a lot of rain here and our kids are stuck inside a lot and so we don't have gym space at our facility or anywhere close by that they can go, " said Vanessa Buss, CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of Western Lane County. “We’re so very grateful that we have

Three Rivers Casino here in Florence to help support the work that we do as a community.”

Alvin Benjamin Socia Jr. April 13, 1928 – February 9, 2023

A funeral service to celebrate the life of Alvin “Al” B. Socia Jr., 94, of North Bend, will be held on Saturday, February 25, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. at the Coos Bay Chapel, 685 Anderson Avenue, with Pastor Joshua Woodruff presiding. A graveside committal will follow at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery in Coos Bay. Alvin “Al” Benjamin Socia Jr. was born on April 13, 1928 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas to Alvin Benjamin Socia Sr. and Maggie Little Socia (Bridges). He passed away in his home surrounded by his kids and grandkids on February 9, 2023.

Growing up Alvin was one of 21 children and was one of six remaining children at the time of his passing. Alvin loved being outdoors, and he loved insects….so much that he got the nickname “Bugs”.

Alvin married Norma Jean Kindrick on August 20, 1949, in Star City, Arkansas.

Al and Norma moved to Coos County in 1952. They raised four children together.

Norma was a homemaker and Al went to work at

Weyerhaeuser, where he was the head sawyer, retiring at the age of 70 in 1998. Al had a love for making things. He had a workshop where he would spend a lot of his time woodworking and building things. He made all four of his children a hope chest. Al also had a love for fishing.

He used to own a boat and would often go out in his boat fishing.

Besides his love for woodworking, Al was a family man, coming from a large family himself, he enjoyed spending time with his family most of all. Some of his favorite times were having his children and their families over to see him any chance that they could. He had a special bond with his great granddaughter, Kaycee Hammack. Al would light up when he saw Kaycee walk into the house. His family referred to her as “Papa’s Angel”.

Al was a very loving husband, father, grandfather and friend and he will be missed very much by his loving and adoring family.

Alvin is survived by

his four sisters, Velma McEntire of Star City, Arkansas, Thelma Reynolds of Star City, Arkansas, Linda Shepherd and her husband, Richard of Gould, Arkansas and Jan Martin and her husband, Ross of Dumas, Arkansas; brother, James Socia of Little Rock, Arkansas; his four children: son, Scott Socia and his kids, Chris Socia, Lisa Socia, Shannon Holly and Jamie Holly; son, Steve Socia and his children, Gregg Socia, Jordan Socia and Tricia Weaver; son, Marty Socia and his wife Esther and their children, Jeremy Farris, Kelly Deweese and Alyssa Farris; and daughter, Gail Hammock and her husband, Randy and their children, Jennifer Church, Courtney Hammack and Randy Hammack; and 26 great grandkids.

Alvin was preceded in death by his parents, Alvin B. Sr. and Maggie Little Bridges; stepmother, Esther Ora Wilkinson Socia; his wife, Norma Jean Socia; brothers, Alton Socia, Havis Socia, Horace “Shorty”

Socia, Edward Socia, Willie Socia, Odis Socia, Garland Socia, Milton B. Socia, infant son of Maggie L. Socia, Albert “Boots” Socia and Ray Socia; sisters, Esther Mae Manes, Iva Socia Roddy, Bennie Jean King and Irma Nelson; daughter-in-law, Sue Socia; granddaughter, Stacey Chase; and great grandson, Jeffery Allen Saunders.

Audrey Irene Castle October 16, 1934 – January 28, 2023

Audrey Irene Castle, 88, of Coos Bay, Oregon, went home to Heaven to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on January 28, 2023.

She passed away peacefully with family by her side, from congestive heart failure.

Audrey was born October 16, 1934, on a farm just outside of Rapid City, South Dakota. She was the fifth and last surviving sibling of the nine children born to Elmer and Sophie Kursave.

On September 16, 1950, Audrey married the love of her life, Richard “Dick” Wayne Castle. They lived in Rapid City for a short time, where they had their first daughter, Katherine Rose in 1951, then moved to North Bend, Oregon, where they had three more children, Carol Jean in 1952, Carla Marie in 1955 and Richard Wayne Jr. in 1956.

Audrey was a housewife, staying home to raise her children for many years.

Once they were older, she worked a number of jobs, her first being at the Pink

Poodle Ice Cream Parlor in Pony Village Mall. Audrey also worked at the Coos Bay Dairy Queen for many years, she eventually retired from working as a housekeeper.

In her early 40s, Audrey was baptized. She attended Myrtle Point Community Church and College Park Community Church over the years and put in lots of volunteer hours at both, mostly running the kitchen.

She was always well known for serving coffee and cookies after the service.

Audrey was active in various sports, she played women’s recreational volleyball, played on several bowling teams and was an avid golfer and member of the Kentuck Ladies Golf Association, winning many tournaments and titles. Gardening was another of Audrey’s hobbies as she spent many hours outside tending to her flowers.

She was famous for many things, her home canned raspberry jam, crispy edge pancakes, hot kisses and

Dedicated to Serving Families

her mother-in-law’s recipe for chicken and noodles, just to name a few. She had a serious love for the color purple, Dick even bought her a purple car!

In October of 1970, her first grandson was born, Joe Keefer. Soon thereafter came six more grandchildren, Megan (Castle) Ross, Audra Smith, Katy (Smith) Londagin, Patrick Hubbell, Allison (Hubbell) Henderson and Emily (Castle) Brent.

Audrey was truly one of the best grandmas and even got the nickname GrandmaGreat in September of 2000 when her first of what eventually would be six great grandchildren were born.

A Word, Please: Oldest or eldest

By JUNE CASAGRANDE If you have two children, ages 10 and 12, is the 12-year-old the oldest? Or is she the older? Can you say she’s your eldest child?

Or must you say she’s the elder child?

The answer, believe it or not, is very controversial. Some people say that when you’re comparing only two things, you can’t use the superlative — the “est” form — and that only the comparative — the “er” form — will do.

Even the language bosses are bitterly divided.

“When two items are being compared, a comparative adjective is needed, ‘the greater of the two’; when more than two are being compared, the superlative is needed, ‘the greatest of the three,’” says the 2003 edition of Garner’s Modern American Usage, which calls it a “blunder” to use the superlative in comparisons of two.

Other experts make a strong case that superlatives are fine for comparisons of two.

“No one will misunderstand you if you say, ‘She is the oldest of the two,’” writes Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage. “The rule serves no useful purpose at all. It is therefore a perfect shibboleth, serving no practical function except to separate those who observe the rule from those who don’t.”

Merriam’s also notes that real-world usage doesn’t reflect the supposed rule. And because all grammar and usage rules stem from the way we English speakers talk, this matters. “It is plain that many of our best writers have used either the comparative or superlative of two, as suited their fancy at the time,” says Merriam’s, which gives these examples.

“We cannot agree as to which is the eldest of the two Miss Plumbtrees,” Jane Austen wrote in a letter in 1811.

“Crane wrote two fine stories. ‘The Open Boat’ and ‘The Blue Hotel.’ The last one is best,” Ernest Hemingway wrote in “Green Hills of Africa.”

“And let us make incision for your love; To prove whose blood is reddest, his, or

mine,” Shakespeare wrote in “The Merchant of Venice.”

Milton, Thoreau, Thackery and other esteemed writers also used superlatives this way.

Fowler’s Modern English Usage tries to reconcile these inconvenient examples by laying down a double-standard. “In general, it is a sound rule that confines the use of the comparative forms of an adjective to contexts in which two entities are being compared, and reserves superlative forms for comparison of three entities or more. But the English language is not a totally restrictive system,” notes Fowler’s. “Clearly there is a ragged edge at the rim of any strict rule, but the general pattern should normally be adhered to, leaving exceptions only to the truly great or to literary or linguistic license.”

Translation: Sure, great writers can use a superlative to compare two things, but you can’t.

Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, which is different from Merriam-Webster’s usage guide, offers this discussion of superlatives: “‘Bigger’ means that one thing is larger in size than another, and ‘biggest’ refers to the largest of its category, but what if the category consists of only two things?” the dictionary editors write. “Some people say that ‘the bigger of the two’ is preferable, but that choice depends on logic rather than grammar. There is also nothing wrong with calling the larger of two similar things the ‘biggest.’”

To me, logic clearly dictates that if you’re the bigger of two, you’re also the biggest.

If your 12-year-old is the older of your two children, she’s also the oldest. If your car is the nicer of your family’s two cars, it’s also the nicest. In fact, every day I’m the smartest person in the room at my job. I work at home alone, which I can safely say renders me superlative to my co-workers for just about any adjective you can think of.

Letters to the Editor We tried that

Re letter from Ms. Craig in the 2/17 edition: FYI, we used to have air service to Portland about 5 or 6 years ago, but it was by a small regional airline, and there apparently wasn't enough traffic to make it pay. Remember Pen Air? If someone could prove the need to United, they might continue the daily flight from SFO on to PDX, but I'm not holding my breath.

More on the homeless

Would the World be willing to do more reporting on the homeless crisis?

We have little exposure to the very difficult moving parts involved. This is just my opinion here and it’s newly developed from what I’d learned from North Bend’s and the League of Oregon Cities web sites, as well as the recent town hall. Perhaps the World could double check and expand on my assumptions because I may have some of this wrong. This is what I believe at this time: 1. Not having camping or parking ordinances means at any time, in any manner, anyone can sleep or rest on any sidewalk, meridian or park at any time; RV on any street. (That’s pretty much the sum of North Bend’s *public* property, Coos Bay has a bit more.)

2. The annex North Bend bought last year could be used for this crisis in North Bend with some moving parts, but that means *not* using it for what the city intended: attracting a developer to build apartments and retail space on that property. (I hope it’s the latter, don’t you? I’d rather see housing for people who actually work here than what’s happening now.)

3. Homelessness does not grant any of us the right to commit crimes. (If *anyone* is hurting me or my property, I call 911.)

4. When the city builds a property/service like a shelter on city property, the costs are astronomically higher than a private entity, like Devereux Center, because the city’s legal responsibilities encompass a far higher bar than a private entity.

5. When North Bend penciled out a 50-unit pallet shelter community, that responsibility came it at around $4 million. That just doesn’t compare to the Devereux’s $500K budget reported by an employee at the Town Hall.

6. This all begs the question: how can the community work together? Are we willing to pay more for public safety, now that we see this issue in sharp focus? Are any private property owners (churches, industrial properties, home owners) willing to volunteer space in a parking lot or yard? Can we build citizen-based neighborhood?

Maps show vulnerability

Thank you for displaying the updated Estuary plan maps at the community college. They were very interesting and educational. It was especially great to see the richness of the area for a wide range of aquatic species.

But I noticed something on a couple of the maps I found alarming. If you look at the tsunami impact map and the map for expected sea level rise by 2100 you can see that the airport is at an extremely vulnerable position in the event of a small to large tsunami and that the entire airport is expected to be under water by 2100. Given that a tsunami could happen at any time and that sea level rise is expected, what is the plan to protect or relocate the airport? It may not be safe to put up sea walls where planes are taking off and landing so relocation might be the best solution. Knowing that serving the golf resorts in Bandon has been the airport's priority perhaps there might be property on higher ground in that area suitable for relocation.

It’s do or die for the Great Salt Lake

By STEPHEN TRIMBLE

Last November, the Great Salt Lake, iconic landmark of the Great Basin Desert, fell to its lowest surface elevation ever recorded. The lake had lost 73% of its water and 60% of its area. More than 800 square miles of lakebed sediments were laid bare to become dust sources laden with heavy metals.

Without emergency action to double the lake’s inflow, it could dry out in five years.

“We’re seeing this system crash before our eyes,” warns Bonnie Baxter, director of the Great Salt Lake Institute

at Salt Lake City’s Westminster College.

Settlers colonized the eastern shoreline 175 years ago, displacing Native peoples, and all of us who followed have mostly taken this desert lake and its fiery sunsets for granted. But the lake is an economic engine as well as an ecological treasure.

Its waters and wetlands yield thousands of jobs and an annual $2.5 billion for Utah from mineral extraction and brine shrimp eggs used worldwide as food for farmed fish and shrimp. The lake also suppresses windblown toxic dust, boosts pre-

cipitation of incoming storms through the “lake effect,” and supports 80% of Utah’s wetlands.

The Great Salt Lake has no outlet. It can hold its own against evaporation only if sufficient water arrives from three river systems, fed by snowmelt in the lake’s 21,000-square-mile mountain watershed. When that flow declines, the shallow lake recedes.

In each of the last three years the lake has received less than a third of its average streamflow, recorded since 1850. And as the lake shrinks, it grows saltier, cur-

The Great Salt Lake, know for generations in Utah, is drying up and could be going away.

rently measuring 19 percent salinity. This is six times as salty as the ocean and well past the 12 percent salinity that’s ideal for brine shrimp and brine flies.

More than 10 million birds depend on the lake’s tiny invertebrates for food. Half of the world’s population of Wilson’s phalaropes feasts on Great Salt Lake brine flies in summer, taking on fat reserves for their 3,400-mile, non-stop migration to South America. For phalaropes, the lake is “a lifeline,” says conservation biologist Maureen Frank.

All these wonders do best with a minimum healthy lake level of about 4,200 feet in elevation, which the Great Salt Lake hasn’t seen for 20 years.

You could say that the crisis snuck up on us.

Our big build-up of dams, canals and pipelines to harness incoming water throughout the lake’s watershed began soon after 1900.

With a lake this big and with natural fluctuations in weather, “unsustainable behavior doesn't get noticed until you are really far down the line,” says Ben Abbott, ecologist at Brigham Young University.

By the 1960s, diversions had bled the lake to levels nearly as low as we see today. But then an extraordinary wet period masked the

downward trend. In the mid1980s, the lake hit an historic high, flooding wetlands and highways and threatening the Salt Lake City Airport.

When precipitation dropped to normal, lake levels declined again, aided by today’s drying and warming climate, which is reducing natural flows and increasing evaporation, a recent but growing impact.

But agriculture is the primary driver of the disappearing lake. Two-thirds of the diversions in the Great Salt Lake watershed go to farms and ranches. With climate change accelerating, experts say the only way to bring back the lake is to decrease diversions and crank open the spigots of incoming streams.

Because Utah manages its own water, it’s up to the state Legislature to save the lake.

“We can’t talk water into the lake” through studies and task forces, as Salt Lake City Rep. Joel Briscoe puts it. The State Legislature can—and must—pass mandates and incentives to reduce water use, purchase water rights, pay farmers to fallow fields and increase streamflow.

To pass such legislation, lawmakers must withstand unremitting pressure from a chorus of high-paid and powerful water lobbyists.

The 2023 Utah legislative

Stephen Trimble session ends on March 3.

If the members don’t take sufficient and difficult action to save the Great Salt Lake from collapse, the lake will face ruin. As the Brigham Young University scientist Ben Abbott says, “Unlike politicians, hydrology doesn’t negotiate.”

Waiting another year may be too late. Utah—the second driest state in the nation— must come to grips with its arid heart.

A 35th anniversary update of his book, The Sagebrush Ocean: A Natural History of the Great Basin, will be published next year.

As I See It: Bandon Community Center

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN If ever a building "has come a long ways" in Bandon, it would be the Bandon Community Center, better known as The Barn, which is located in City Park on 11th Street.

Just over 50 years ago, on Aug. 17, 1972, long-time school superintendent Roland L. Parks wrote an interesting article about the history of The Barn. Today, I share it with you.

"Bandon has no community center as such but the 'Barn' in the City Park serves that purpose to a large extent. The Bandon Lions Club took over the Barn (first photo) after World War II after it had been deeded to the City of Bandon. The building was literally falling down when the Lions club requested its use from the city council. The barn was given to the Lions by a verbal lease granted by the council.

The barn had been used as a cavalry barn for horses by the Army during World War II as the beaches were being patrolled for landing parties of the Japanese enemy at that time.

"Since the lease was secured, the Barn has been practically re-made into an attractive, well lighted and heated center. The Lions have spent close to $5,000 over a period of close to 20 years. At the start the floor was made of heavy planks which were replaced by a good floor by volunteer labor and materials

from the citizens of Bandon so that it could be used as a dance floor and little theatre. Among the improvements made by the Lions after the club took over the building were: "A new roof, shingling the outside and repainting twice, modern fluorescent lighting, sealing the inside with plywood, installing of restrooms, covering the floor with tile, the addition of a kitchen with stove, refrigerator and complete set of utensils, installation of a new foundation, a new storeroom, the purchase of 100 folding chairs and 15 tables, and redecorating of the interior.

"The Lions pay all of the utilities and charge nonprofit organizations a fee big enough to cover expenses. A strict set of rules regarding use of the building has been formulated to protect the property."

Over the years the barn was used for many meetings and functions by such groups as The Ocean Spray Square Dancers, the Boy Scouts, the Cranberry Festival Fair and Harvest Ball, the Bandon Little Theatre and various service clubs.

"By virtue of the lease held by the Lions, the control is completely in the hands of a barn committee of the Lions. All scheduling, setting of rental or use fees must be made through the committee. Contrary to some belief the city pays none of the expenses of the barn. All improvements, light bills, water-sewer, heating and

furniture procurement are paid for by the Lions.

"From a horse barn to a community center has been a long climb but the Bandon Lions feel that the heavy investment is a valuable asset for the Community of Bandon."

Today, the Barn/ Community Center is owned and managed by the City, with assistance from current Barn manager Avery Richards.

The second photo, taken in June of 1966, featured members of the Bandon Lions Club in front of The Barn. In front, from left, are Al Froland, Howard Kehl, Russ Conn, George Kronenberg, Howard Tucker, Roland L. Parks, O.S. Valentine and L.L. Jackson.

Second row: Ed "Stuffy" Hendrickson, H.M. "Max" Howe, Fred Moore, Eddie Waldrop; in back, from left, are John Fasnacht, Sam Schultz, Warren Strycker, Dr. B.E. Grant, W.H. Johnston (unknown) and Ernie Wehner.

Considering that I did this from memory, I think I did pretty good to identify all but one of them.

Not sure exactly what year the third photo was taken, but an item in the June 2, 1927, Western World is headlined: "Council Helps Pay for Arch."

"At the city council meeting last evening the city appropriated $100 toward the erection of an arch across Second street, which is being erected by the chamber of commerce. The balance of the money will be appropriated by the chamber and by public subscription."

The reference book I use indicates that both Preston C. Stephenson and Herbert Brown served as mayor in 1927, so my guess is that it was Herbert Brown (former mayor Judy Densmore's grandfather) who was mayor at that time.

----------------------------A 46-year-old Bandon man was arrested on a number of charges Feb. 17 after he threatened the owner of Begin Agains, located in the Bandon Shopping Center, with a knife during a robbery.

According to the Bandon Police, Charles Jenkins went into Begin Agains shortly before 4 p.m. on Feb. 17 and grabbed an armload of clothing off the racks. As the owner tried to stop him, Jenkins allegedly drew a knife on the owner and fled the store.

The owner immediately

called 9-1-1, and Sgt. Larry Lynch, who was investigating a theft which had just occurred at Face Rock Creamery, sped to the shopping center. Jenkins was apprehended just north of Dollar General on Highway 101 and taken to the Coos County Jail where he was lodged.

He was charged with first-degree robbery, seconddegree attempted assault, menacing, unlawful use of a weapon, harassment and two counts of third-degree theft.

Lynch said he believed Jenkins was also responsible for the theft at the creamery.

----------------------------In another incident that occurred at Face Rock Creamery, a Facebook post indicated that on Feb. 16, a Yamaha Kodiak 450 fourwheeler was stolen from a trailer while the owner was inside getting ice cream. The four-wheeler was painted tan and black. The suspect was said to be in his late 40s with a short beard and was last seen headed out Rosa Road.

The post added: "A reward is pending for its recovery."

The information was posted

by Goodnight Lucas, but it was not clear if this was his four-wheeler.

----------------------------I received an email from John Olson last week concerning an item in my July 31, 2019, As I See It, which he said needed to be corrected. After reading in the Bandon Police report that Olson, who was formerly with Tesoaria Vineyard and Winery in Roseburg, had been arrested on a warrant out of Deschutes County, I contacted the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office in Bend, who told me he had been arrested on racketeering and money laundering charges.

In his email to me last week, Olson said "The simple fact is the charges against me were completely bogus, fabricated and based on mendacity. As you should be aware, the case was dismissed 'in the name of justice.' My attorney, Todd Grover, presented overwhelming evidence to the Deschutes County DA's office that the 'victims' statements were perjured, 'evidence' was fabricated and the investigation was at best sloppy or at worse malicious, thus leading to a complete dismissal. A civil rights violation action is forthcoming," Olson said.

----------------------------I received an update from ODOT' Chris Hunter last week concerning the state's efforts to seek funding for a new pedestrian bridge over the Coquille River adjacent to the existing Bullards Bridge

Photos courtesy of Mary Schamehorn collection

The Bandon Community Center has come a long way since its humble beginnings. on Highway 101.

As Mayor, I had written a letter in support of the project.

Hunter, an engineer, is SouthWest Area Manager for the Oregon Department of Transportation, Region 3.

"Unfortunately our efforts through several grant opportunities have not come to fruition. Just know that ODOT will continue to look for funding opportunities as we all agree that this project is needed.

"We have learned that overall our grant application has scored very well and made it through the majority of the process, it just has not been selected. As encouraging as this is, obviously the ultimate goal is to receive the funding," said Hunter.

----------------------------Communities for Healthy Forests has announced that Melissa Cribbins is the organization's new executive director. Cribbins is a practicing attorney and a former three-term Coos County commissioner. She also sits on the Elliott State Forest Advisory Committee.

"In her role, Cribbins will continue her work advocating for the health of forests in Oregon and in the western United States," said a press release.

The release said Communities for Healthy Forests, a Roseburg based nonprofit, started in 2003 when a group of citizens

realized that the inability of the federal government to restore the landscape was challenged by policies, delays, lawsuits and lack of funding.

----------------------------Bandon Pickleball players will be happy to learn that the February charity chosen by 100 Strong Bandon, will be used to resurface the court at City Park with a safer and preferred playing surface.

This is a group of local people (like me) who meet every three moths, choose a charity and each pledge at least $50 to the charity.

The group has been meeting at Bandon Rain, who opens their taproom for the meetings.

Members Laura Brownfield and Nikki Cline nominated Bandon Pickleball as the charity. Pickleball is said to be the fastest growing sport, not only in America, but globally. Coquille, North Bend, Port Orford and other communities around us have installed courts which are used daily. Pickleball is a combination of Ping Pong and Tennis played on half of a tennis court with a hard paddle and a whiffle type ball, and is primarily played in doubles by older active seniors. Bandon Pickleball started in September of 2021 with four participants; today over 60 locals and visitors participate as contributing players and an additional 30 plus play regularly as guests.

Obituaries Edgar E. Moon December 14, 1927 – February 6, 2023

A memorial service for Edgar (Ed) E. Moon, 95, of Myrtle Point, will be held at 11 am, Friday, February 24, 2023 at Myrtle Point First Christian Church, 511 Sixth St. Pastor Lloyd Pounds will officiate.

Ed was born December 14, 1927 to Forrest and Jennie Moon at Mast Hospital in Myrtle Point, Oregon.

He passed away February 6, 2023.

He was a lifetime resident of Myrtle Point and graduated from Myrtle Point High School in 1945.

On June 17, 1950 he married Florence Russell and they were married 71 years before her death in May, 2022.

Ed joined the navy in 1946 and graduated from electronics school a year later with a rating of Petty Officer Second Class. He joined the reserves in 1947 and returned home to continue working at Moon’s Hardware. The Korean War started that same month and he returned to active service serving on a cargo ship as the only electronics technician on board. He returned to the states in 1952, serving his remaining time in the reserves and was honorably discharged with an

ETR1 rating.

Ed started his work career in high school working alongside his Dad at Moon’s Hardware working there until 1964. He then went to work for Tom Coffman who was starting a business of producing Port Orford cedar arrow shafts and he was there for 15 years. In 1979 he went to work for Ellis Logging Company and was employed there until the business sold in 1984. He was then hired as a custodian at the high school and during his employment was elected president of the Myrtle Point Chapter of Oregon School Employees Association, a position he held for 5 years. In 1989 he and Jack Ellis started building a saw mill. It took over 2 years to complete and in 1998 they auctioned the mill and retired. He was able to build or repair most anything and helped many people with his talents.

He served on the Myrtle Point City Council from 1969 – 1977 and also served on the Coos Curry Council of Governments.

Ed joined the First Christian Church in 1943. He loved his Lord and served as a deacon, elder,

William Luther Sexton Jr. May 15, 1928 – February 6, 2023

A chapel funeral service was held at the North Bend Chapel followed by a graveside committal with full military honors at Ocean View Memory Gardens Cemetery in Coos Bay, on Monday, February 20, 2023 f or William L. Sexton Jr., 94, of North Bend.

William “Bill” Luther Sexton Jr. passed away on February 6, 2023 at the age of 94, at Bay Area Hospital due to breathing complications.

He was born in Hiram, Georgia to William Luther Sexton Sr. and Maureen (Robinson) Sexton. He had two children, William and Melody. He joined the Navy when he was 17 years old and fought in WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, where he proudly met Connie Chung. He was approved to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery, which he refused, as he wanted to be in the town he loved so dearly.

He retired out of the Navy and settled in a town he had visited on leave, North Bend, Oregon. This is where he met his wife, Kathleen Day. After retiring from the Navy, he worked at the saw mill and would later retire from there as well. He was a member of the Freemasons and the American Legion for many years. He regularly attended church services, until his

health kept him indoors.

Bill loved keeping himself young by walking at Pony Village Mall every morning for 5 miles, until he was in his 80’s where he lowered the distance to two miles a day, until he couldn’t make these walks at all. If you didn’t see him out walking, you could catch him at The Mill Casino, the Sizzler, or at a park enjoying nature and traveling. He and Kathy had two Dachshunds that they loved dearly, Willie and Bruno. They also housed and raised his children, multiple nieces, nephews and friends.

They never met a stranger they wouldn’t help. They donated to multiple charities, their church, and food drives, consistently, always wanting to give back to the community and world.

Bill is survived by nephew, Corey Sexton and his wife, April of Dallas, GA; nephew, Nick Phillips and his wife, Corrin of Portland, OR; nieces and nephews, Patricia, Tammy, Demelia, Felecia, Lowell, Decarr, and Treva, all of Georgia; and many more extended family and friends.

Bill was preceded in death by his wife, Kathleen; son, William; daughter, Melody; brothers, James, Jackie and Billie Jo; sisters, Hallie and Hazel; niece, Subrenia; and a host of other family and

David Francis Brunsman David Francis Brunsman peacefully left our world on January 22, 2023. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. David was born in San Francisco, but grew up in Vernonia, Oregon.

He traveled much of the world before settling in Coquille and Myrtle Point where he lived for more than 40 years. He and Kathy Phillips were married on May 1, 1983 and have two sons, Neal and Kevin.

David was always adventurous and committed to his community. He served on the planning commission

for Coos County and later in Myrtle Point; coached his son’s young team of basketball players, rode a mountain bike, played a guitar and wooden spoons with friends’ bands; collected beer t-shirts from breweries, and amassed a huge collection of model cars. He loved traveling with his family, especially camping and rafting on the Illinois River.

He earned an architectural degree from the University of Oregon and designed many homes and businesses throughout Coos County.

His wit and charm will be

with both sides. The two sides met during mediation for 14 days, but that failed to lead to an agreement. Last week, the union declared an impasse, a formal step before a strike can be considered.

“We are not alone in this situation,” Winker wrote.

“However, the fact remains that an additional $13 million increase in labor costs and/or a vote by the union to strike would place us in an untenable financial situation and we may very well be forced to close our doors.”

Both sides have until Friday, February 24, to forward their last and final proposals to the mediator.

“The impending threat of a strike by the union, which could result in over half of our employees refusing to work, will disrupt patient care services, increase expenses,

Winker said challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic have made it impossible for the hospital to meet those demands.

“Bay Area Hospital has had a challenging year as the pandemic limited our ability to provide our services in the usual way,” Winker wrote.

“Our overall expenses have increased, and our balance sheets reflect an average $5.4 million loss for each of the last 13 months. As we announced in May 2022, responding to the pandemic has put an enormous financial strain on the hospital.”

After months of negotiation failed to lead to a contract, a state mediator came to Coos Bay and met

Sunday school teacher, member of the choir and worship team, small group leader and chairman of the building committee for the construction of the current sanctuary. In 1971 he and Florence introduced the Faith Promise Missions Program. They served on the missions committee for about 50 years. The program has been highly successful and has raised over a million dollars for missions around the world. In 2000, Ed and Florence joined Gideons International and he served as a church speaker for 10 years.

Ed was very knowledgeable about Myrtle Point history. One of his many accomplishments was a presentation he made to the Coquille Valley Genealogy Club in 2019.

He was an avid reader and enjoyed gardening, especially roses. After retirement he and Florence were able to take several trips around the United States and Canada. He especially enjoyed hunting and fishing. Most of the fishing was done at the ocean but there were also several family fishing trips hiking into the Seven

Lakes Basin area. Hunting trips were also a family affair and at the age of 74 he bagged one of the biggest bucks ever in Eastern Oregon.

At age 92 Ed decided he needed to slow down and he moved in with his daughter Sue and her husband Rich. He then devoted a lot of his time visiting Florence at the care center until she passed away.

Ed was preceded in death by his wife, Florence; parents, Forrest and Jennie; step-mother, Dorothy Moon; sister, Zella Laswell; and brother, Eugene Moon. He is survived by daughter, Susan and Richard Reiss of Myrtle Point, Oregon; son, Steven and Dorothy of Ocean View, Hawaii; grandson, Justin and Jenny Moon of Roseburg; great grandchildren, Caden and Addyson Moon; and step-grandchildren, Christine Buckner, Bob Reiss, Neal Vaught and Luke Vaught; sisterin-law, Mary Russell; and several nieces and nephews.

records, HIPAA laws, the threat of medical litigation and of course ever evolving governmental regulation.

All of a sudden that ideal “Marcus Welby” interaction our parents were used to becomes a distant dream.

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the complaint, “I saw my new doctor, but I don’t think they actually saw me and never examined me. Instead they were fixated on a computer screen during my visit”. I personally don’t understand how you can diagnose a patient without an exam.

It’s the human connection, both verbal and physical, which allows a physician to formulate a diagnosis.

Spend enough time listening and a patient will eventually tell you what’s wrong with them. They will give you their diagnosis. Skip these basic steps and things start getting expensive. In lieu of an exam, time pressured practitioners may instead order a batch of tests from the computer. This friends that he loved dearly. is one factor contributing Friends and family are to increasing health care encouraged to sign the costs.

Additionally, if your Arrangements are under the doctor is being forced to see care of North Bend Chapel, 4 patients per hour per his 541-756-0440. or her contract, it’s goodbye human interaction, hello expensive tests. This is the new reality of medicine, which is being run by big business, not your doctor.

Why are some doctors forced to see 30-40 patient’s in a day. Part of the reason may be the organization he/ she is working for. Coming out of residency most new physicians prefer signing a “secure” contract with a larger medical conglomerate.

The days of creating new private practitioners are over. New graduates are less inclined to take the risks of starting a practice than greatly missed by all who knew him. His family would their predecessors were.

A contract guarantees a like to thank those who sent starting physician an income cards of support and those and offers employment who shared fond memories. security, but they will frequently carry production and put the hospital’s future at certain risk,” Winker wrote. requirements. Businesses need to make a profit and “The hospital is open to ongoing conversations with the your doctor is just an union, and if the union agrees employee in a medical business.

physician needs to maintain a practice, medications, supplies, equipment, staffing and the physical office space, providing care for Medicare patients has become a losing proposition unless done at a very high-volume level. Again, goodbye human interaction.

Here’s another reason your doctor may seem stressed or in a bit of a hurry, shortages. The U.S. News 2023 Best Hospitals edition carried the following headline, “Dr.’s in Short supply”. I don’t think that’s exactly groundbreaking news to anyone who has recently tried to find a doctor. Interestingly though, in this same magazine was the article, “11 Signs You Should Fire Your Doctor”.

So, doctors are in short supply, yet you should be looking for a reason to leave the one you may be lucky to have? Leave it to the press to create confusion.

So why are doctors in short supply? There are many reasons. One obviously is that the U.S. population is aging faster than it can be supplied with new doctors from medical schools. This has been the case for quite some time.

Another is that there is a relatively high percentage of physicians near retirement age. I think there are very few physicians who do not truly love their work. Most would likely continue to work unless the job became unpalatable. What has made working in medicine less desirable is all the new red tape which accompanies practice (and it’s a very large, thick roll of red duct tape). Issues include not just all of the new pressures listed earlier, but now, and perhaps most importantly, the recent pandemic. All combined and we have physicians jumping ship at historic rates. These extraneous factors are leading to premature burn out. Unfortunately, we are seeing a large swath of highly qualified physicians retiring earlier than they probably wanted to. In fact, since the beginning of the pandemic America has lost over 100,000 qualified physicians due to early retirement. Every time an established physician decides he /she can no longer tolerate practice we lose years of health care experience which will never be recovered, and your care suffers. As for the abovementioned article which suggests firing your doctor, you’d better be sure you have another one lined up as finding a new one will become more challenging with each passing day.

And doctors aren’t the only ones struggling as of late. Most hospitals are also finding it harder to make ends meet. Here the pandemic hasn’t helped at all, where maintaining adequate staffing has become challenging and expensive. Often the

problem here may be much more complex and cannot be blamed simply on the pandemic. Many smaller towns have been served by their community hospitals for years. These have been managed and governed differently than those of large hospital conglomerates, ideally in a way which best served the local community and its employees. Recently it seems all hospitals, even the smaller ones, are being run more like businesses where institutional decisions are made with a different mindset. Typical corporate governance often tends to be less forward thinking, focusing more on immediate issues and short-term solutions. Decisions are made, equipment added, restructurings planned, and staff added or subtracted seemingly without consideration of personal repercussions or future business implications. All that seems to matter is getting their way and the immediate bottom line, somehow tomorrow isn’t on the radar. Short term solutions often come back to bite.

Soon a previously successful hospital is suddenly struggling for revenue. This is when they’ll start hiring outside consultants to fix their business, asking for guidance from a group that knows nothing about the inner workings and uniqueness of their institution. In most cases, the solution was right under their noses and not terribly complicated. Take care of what you have, who you have and be true to who you are. Treat your employees and healthcare professionals well and with respect. Listen to them and be flexible to their needs.

They are your lifeblood.

The fact that they are there means they are dedicated to your institution and community. If they feel the hospital doesn’t care about them, they will move on leading to lost revenue and service shortages. The job market for healthcare workers is exceptionally strong and finding a new job for an unhappy employee isn’t difficult. Doctors can also find other places to do their work. It’s a classic case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. If your employees and staff are happy, you have a better chance of being successful, it’s often just that simple.

Employee morale will always serve the institution far better than a consultant’s opinion, where the expensive advice given is rarely applied anyway. The solution exists within, which is true with most things in life. All that needs to be done is to talk, listen and be flexible. Any businesses can go through tough times, getting past these is much easier with a complete and happy cohesive team.

Grammy nominee Woman jailed for mail theft coming to Coos Bay

Five-Time Grammy® Nominee David Arkenstone brings An Evening with David Arkenstone & Friends to The Dolphin Playhouse in Coos Bay on May 10 as part of his Pacific Northwest Tour 2023.

This candlelit concert is a joyous genre blend of neo-classical piano, new age, Celtic, progressive rock, orchestral, world music, and Music Inspired by Middle Earth. With over 100 million Spotify streams, 60+ albums, numerous film and game score compositions, and unforgettable themes for NBC such as The Kentucky Derby, US Women's Figure Skating, and Premier League soccer – David’s music holds something for everyone, taking concertgoers on a musical journey from first note to last.

Joined on stage by virtuoso musicians Megan Shung (violin, erhu), Carlyn Kessler (cello), Zimberly Zaleski (flute), and Josh Gilgoff (percussion), David has plenty of surprises in store. A musical storyteller, he is passionate about taking listeners on a journey, creating sonic tapestries that evoke every emotion. “I envision a place where I would like to go, or an adventure I would like to take, and

let my imagination run free,” says David.

“I’ve gotten countless messages from listeners who love to take these journeys with me. I’m sometimes surprised by how powerfully people respond to my music.”

In anticipation of the Pacific Northwest Tour, David says, “I’m very excited about our upcoming tour in May. My very talented band and I have a great evening planned. We’re playing quite a few songs from my catalog that I haven’t performed live before. It’ll be lots of fun and a great evening to share with you and your friends and family!”

Receiving Grammy® nominations in 2021, 2019, 2004, 2000, and 1992, this visionary continues to create distinctive tracks that inspire the imagination. David’s compositions are often influenced by the beauty of nature, classical music, Celtic dance, medieval folklore, and the realm of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth.

An Evening with David Arkenstone & Friends will embrace the Pacific Northwest with passionate compositions, heartwarming stories, and an evening to be remembered for years to come.

fans from around the world. “One of the most exciting things about performing live is the interaction I have with the audience. It’s very different from making a recording, where you’re not sure who will be listening to it. A lot of the roots of our musicianship come into focus in a live situation. You’re in the moment, you perform your best, and many times reach new heights – then it’s gone and on to the next show!”

Baker and the trooper immediately took Kaitlyn into custody after witnessing this event. During further investigation on scene, it was found Kaitlyn had stolen mail from a business on Spinreel Road and had also stolen several gift cards from Safeway in North Bend which were in her possession when she was arrested.

Campbell was transported to the Coos County Jail where she was booked on the charges of disorderly conduct II, criminal mischief III, and theft of mail.

On February 20 at 1:13 p.m., Deputy R. Baker was dispatched to an address on Spinreel Road, near Lakeside to a report of theft of mail in progress. When en-route, the Coos County Sheriff’s Dispatch Center advised Deputy Baker the suspect vehicle had fled from the location.

A short time later, Baker and an Oregon State Trooper turned onto Spinreel Road from Highway 101, and located the suspect vehicle on the side of the road under the railroad bridge. Baker had contacted this vehicle earlier while patrolling Lakeside due to suspicious circumstances he observed while on general patrol of the area. At that time, no crime was observed.

Coquille girls advance in playoffs Coquille’s girls advanced in the Class 3A playoffs by beating visiting Horizon Christian 59-44 on Tuesday.

The Red Devils overcame eight 3-pointers and 28 points by Horizon Christian’s Alexis Dockter to advance to a second-round game Friday night at Corbett.

“We played so good, especially in the first half,” said Coquille coach Marty Stallard, adding that he was excited the girls got a playoff win and reached 20 wins for the season.

He was looking forward to the challenge of facing Corbett, which was ranked first in the final coaches poll and reached the championship game in the Class 4A tournament last winter before dropping down a level this year.

“It will be a great experience for these kids,” Stallard said.

Coquille led by 10 in the first half and was never challenged in the second by the Hawks.

Holli Vigue scored 23 points and made nine of her 10 free throws for

the Red Devils. As a team, Coquille was 13-for-14 from the line.

The squad also had balanced scoring, with numerous team members hitting shots off good passes from teammates.

Jenna Willis had nine points in the first half and scored 11 for the game. Isabella Trujillo had seven points and Taylor Kelner and Trinidy Blanton scored six each in the win.

Coquille was coming off a good loss to Lakeview in the semifinals of the Far West League playoffs.

The Red Devils kept the game close until the final minutes against the Honkers after losing to them by 32 points at home during the league season.

“From where we started, we are doing so well,” Stallard said. “We got to 20 wins.”

Coquille improved to 20-8 on the season.

Coquille’s losses also all came against quality teams who are in the state playoffs, including Lakeview and Sutherlin twice each

and Class 2A powers Central Linn, Bandon and Monroe. The other loss came at Brookings-Harbor, which was eliminated from the playoffs Tuesday by Burns, which beat the Bruins 43-35 in Brookings.

Corbett is another great team.

The Cardinals are 22-3 and seeded third for the playoffs but first in the coaches poll after beating Banks, another school that dropped down from Class 4A, in their league title game. Several of the team’s players were on the squad that reached the Class 4A championship game last winter, ultimately losing to Philomath.

This year’s tournament field will be determined Friday in eight games around the state.

The tournament quarterfinals are next Thursday at North Bend High School, with the semifinals and championship games at Marshfield.

Far West League champion Sutherlin, the No. 2 seed, hosts Jefferson, which won at Creswell 47-44 on Tuesday. Lakeview plays

at De La Salle North Catholic in Portland.

TRINITY LUTHERAN 54, MYRTLE POINT 31: The Bobcats saw their season end in the opening round of the Class 1A playoffs at Bend on Monday.

Trinity Lutheran advanced to a second-round game Friday at Skyline League champion North Douglas, which beat Triangle Lake 75-29 on Tuesday.

Myrtle Point overcame adversity, including injuries to a couple of key players, to finish second to North Douglas in its first year in the Skyline League.

North Douglas was the only league team to win its first-round game. Umpqua Valley Christian lost at Eddyville 64-56 and New Hope lost at Echo 61-30.

The winners of Friday’s secondround games advance to the state tournament at Baker City.

CLASS 2A: Bandon hosts Regis on Friday in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs, with

the winner advancing to the state tournament in Pendleton.

The Tigers were fifth and Regis ninth in the final Class 2A coaches poll.

Friday’s game begins at 6 p.m.

BOYS: Bandon visits topranked Mannahouse Christian at 4 p.m. Saturday in Portland in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs, the winner advancing to the tournament in Pendleton.

Coquille was at Harrisburg in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs Wednesday (results were not available), with the winner advancing to face De La Salle North Catholic in Portland in the second round Saturday.

Myrtle Point was at Willamette Valley Christian on Wednesday in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs (results were not available). The winner faces the winner of a game between Triangle Lake and No. 4 Adrian on Saturday for a spot in the tournament at Baker City.

Marist Catholic denies Marshfield girls top Sky-Em seed

Marshfield’s girls basketball team lost a chance to be the top seed for the Sky-Em League for the Class 4A playoffs when the Pirates fell to Marist Catholic 46-28 in a league seeding game at Siuslaw High School in Florence on Tuesday.

Marshfield and Marist Catholic had tied for the league title, each with 7-1 league records.

Even with the loss, Marshfield was likely to

host a first-round game in the Class 4A playoffs and not have to go through the play-in round. The Spartans avoided the play-in round with the victory.

Marshfield was still No. 4 in the rankings Tuesday night and also fourth in the final coaches poll. Baker, which suffered its lone Class 4A loss to Marshfield, was No. 1 in both the power rankings and poll.

Marshfield will face No. 3

Astoria at 2 p.m. on Saturday at North Eugene High School in a warm-up game for the playoffs. That game won’t impact the rankings, which froze Tuesday night.

The Pirates will host a play-in round winner on Friday, March 3, during the Class 3A state tournament, for a spot in the Class 4A tournament at Forest Grove.

in the Class 4A play-in round by taking a pair of must-win games after the Bulldogs, Marshfield and Cottage Grove all tied for third in the Sky-Em League.

North Bend missed a chance to wrap up third place Friday when Marshfield overcame a seven-point third-quarter deficit to beat the Bulldogs 54-43.

A night later in Coquille, North Bend beat the Pirates 54-43 in the first of the

games to determine the No. 3 seed.

“With a few adjustments from the night before, the Bulldogs found a way to win,” North Bend coach Jasper Sawyer said.

Then on Monday North Bend beat Cottage Grove 50-45 in a game at Douglas High School in Winston, holding off a fourth-quarter rally by the Lions.

That gave North Bend the league’s No. 3 seed and a

guaranteed spot in the playin round.

Marshfield also will be in the play-in round, since the Pirates finished high enough in the final rankings for a spot.

Both will have road games, needing wins to advance to the 16-team playoffs for a spot in the tournament in Forest Grove.

Matchups had not been announced by Tuesday night.

North Bend swept the team titles and both the Bulldogs and Marshfield had multiple champions in the recent district swim meet.

Marshfield’s boys were second in the team race and the girls were third behind North Bend and St. Mary’s.

Reedsport’s squads finished at the bottom, but the Brave had a number of placers as well.

Finley Cheal won both the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard butterfly for North Bend and was part of two champion relays.

Henry Hood won the 200 freestyle and also was part of both winning relays, along with Beau Parrott and Brody Wilson.

Marshfield’s boys got wins by Markus Kliewer in the 500 freestyle, Quinton Kloster in the 100 backstroke and Jack Waddington in the 100 breaststroke. Those three combined with Trevor Robbins to win the 200 medley relay.

The Pirates were second to the Bulldogs in the 400 freestyle relay with the group of Robbins, Kliewer, Kloster and Waddington. Kloster also was second in the 200 freestyle, Waddington in the individual medley and Kiewer in the butterfly.

Hood was second for North Bend in the 100 freestyle.

Marshfield’s Allison Wright was a double-winner on the girls side, taking

the butterfly and the 500 freestyle.

North Bend’s lone win on the girls side came in the 200 medley relay, with the team of Abby Woodruff, Gillian Baxter, Brynn Buskerud and Rebecca Witharm.

Rebecca Witharm was second in both the 200 and 500 freestyle and Brynn Buskerud was second in the individual medley and breaststroke.

Emma Slade took second in the 100 freestyle. The Bulldogs also were second in the 400 freestyle relay behind St. Mary’s with the group of Slade, Woodruff, Witharm and Adrianna Delph.

Marshfield was second in the medley relay with the group of Kally Haynes, Isabelle Hale, Elizabeth Delgado and Wright. Haynes was second in the backstroke.

North Bend's Elisabeth Woodruff competed as a para athlete in two events to qualify for the state meet.

the climate can only be fully understood by considering the functioning and state of all Earth systems together.

In addition to the 27 amplifying climate feedbacks the scientists studied were seven that are characterized as dampening – they act to stabilize the climate system.
