Coos Bay residents and City Council Members weighed in on Oregon House Bill 3382 during the May 2nd City Council meeting.

The bill states that ports in Coos Bay, Newport, Astoria, St. Helens, and Portland would not have to comply with other state or local landuse laws regarding “deep draft navigation channel im-

Meet the Candidates: Bandon School Board Candidates

On May 16, Coos County will hold a special district election for several open positions in local districts.

A number of the open positions are for school board seats in six different school districts, including Coos Bay School District, North Bend School District, Bandon School District, Coquille School District, Myrtle Point School District, and Powers School District.

Bandon School District has four school board positions with terms that expire in June 2023. Five people have filed to run for the four open seats, which all have four-year terms.

A.J. Kimball, who currently holds position four on the school board, is running for another term unopposed.

Anthony Zunino, who currently holds position six on the school board, is running for another term unopposed.

Greg Looney, who currently holds position seven on the school board, is running for another term unopposed.

Martha Lane is running for position two on the school board, which is currently held by Ryan Sherman. Farrell C. Fox is also running for position two on the school board.

On April 19, The League of Women Voters of Coos County held a public forum for the candidates to talk about their priorities and answer questions. All quotes included below were taken from that public forum.

provements, including docks and similar birth facilities.”

The bill currently sits in the Oregon House of Representatives.

Dredging is a process often used for navigation channel improvements. It involves the removal of sediment or debris from a body of water, so that the sediment does not accumulate and affect channel navigation. The practice is said to negatively impact marine habitats.

Portland Audubon, a wildlife conservation group, stated that HB 3382 would allow dredging in the impacted ports, disrupting key marine habitats like estuaries.

“HB 3382, introduced at the behest of the Oregon Public Ports Association, would eliminate land use review of dredging and development proposals in the state’s five deepwater ports…” Portland Audubon said. “It would eviscerate

land use protections for key estuaries, among the coast’s most critical and productive habitat areas.”

Last month, over 50 conservation groups and community organizations, including Portland Audubon, signed a letter urging the legislature to reject HB 3382.

It’s still unclear just how much leeway ports would have in the name of channel improvements, and the bill is currently being amended

Meet the Candidates: North Bend School Board Candidates

By RyAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

On May 16, Coos County will hold a special district election for several open positions in local districts.

A number of the open positions are for school board seats in six different school districts, including Coos Bay School District, North Bend School District, Bandon School District, Coquille School District, Myrtle Point School District, and Powers School District.

North Bend School District has three school board positions with terms that expire in June 2023. Eight people have filed to run for the three open seats, which all have four-year terms.

Daniel W. Emmett, Nathan McClinktock, and Ginger Kralicek are all running for position one on the school board, which is currently held by Michelle Roberts.

Students from Millicoma School got a break from the classroom while learning in the flesh as the students visited the Charleston Marine Life Center to get a close-up look at the sea creatures who live near us day in and day out. During the visit, the students were introduced to crabs, sea stars, anemones and many other sea creatures that call the Pacific Northwest home. One of the highlights was a close up look at a killer whale and a gray whale that washed ashore in the region and are now displayed at the marine center.

3382.

Christine Moffett pleaded that City Council say no to HB 3382 because of its authority allowing ports to ignore local land-use regulations. “The intent and manner in which this legislation was submitted was a way to work around existing land-use planning and the policies of comprehensive coastal zone management,”

Christine Moffett said.

“These principles and foundations have been in place for 50 years and are part of Oregon’s 19 statewide goals regarding land-use planning. No single entity should be allowed to exempt these regulations for the sake of their proposed profits.”

Steve Miller urged City Council to write a letter to the Oregon

the bay, our bay, and I’m definitely not for that,” Matthews noted.

“Everything I’ve read so far takes the power out of our hands, and out of the community’s hands, and puts it directly into the ports, so I am firmly in opposition to allowing land-use planning goals to be skirted.”

Council Member Sara Stephens stated she was in strong opposition to the bill.

“I’ve been tracking this bill and I’m in strong opposition,” Stephens noted. “I would also add that when we’re asking for more information from North Bend we also include reaching out to both tribes. It would be good to get additional feedback from both tribes.”

Senators, representatives unveil bipartisan legislation to end corrupt stock trading activities by members of Congress

Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley and Ohio’s Senator Sherrod Brown led 21 Senators today in introducing the Ending Trading and Holdings in Congressional Stocks (ETHICS) Act.

This bill is bipartisan and bicameral, with Representatives Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Michael Cloud (RTX) leading the bill in the House. The ETHICS Act is new, comprehensive legislation that would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses and dependent children from abusing their positions for personal financial gain by owning or trading securities, commodities, or futures.

“Congressional stock trading is deeply corrupt. We are elected to serve the public, not our portfolios. And no member should vote on bills biased by the character of their holdings,” said Merkley, the ETHICS Act lead sponsor.

“It’s simple: members of Congress are supposed to serve the American people, not their stock portfolios,” said Brown. “Elected officials have access to private information that

can affect individual companies and entire industries. We need more accountability and transparency to prevent members from abusing their positions for personal gain.”

“When Members of Congress trade in securities while making decisions affecting their value, there is an unavoidable potential conflict of interest,” said Krishnamoorthi. “The ETHICS Act is the most comprehensive legislation ever proposed to eliminate even the possibility of these conflicts of interest and ensure public servants put their constituents first by banning members and their immediate families from owning or trading stocks.

“At a time when trust in public officials is so low, it’s more important than ever to do everything we can to restore the People’s confidence in their Government,” said Cloud. “I’m pleased to work with Congressman Krishnamoorthi introducing the ETHICS Act to set a new benchmark of accountability and transparency for Members of Congress around stock

trading. If we want to restore faith in government, this bill is a good place to start.”

The ETHICS Act is cosponsored by Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (DNY), Angus King (I-ME), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Debbie Stabenow (DMI), Jeanne Shaheen (DNH), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Bob Casey (DPA), Peter Welch (D-VT), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), John Fetterman (D-PA), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Ben Cardin (DMD), Jon Tester (D-MT), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Tim Kaine (D-VA), and Richard Blumenthal (DCT). In the House, the ETHICS Act is cosponsored by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).

“The American people need to know that their elected leaders are putting their constituents’ interests—not their own financial interests—first. That is the job we were sent to Washington to do,” said Gillibrand. “The comprehensive ETHICS Act, which includes proposals from my STOCK Act 2.0, bars trusted public servants from trading

individual stocks and would require elected officials to disclose when they receive a benefit of value from the government, and it penalizes them for failing to comply. I am proud to introduce this bill with my Democratic colleagues to help end these abuses and give

Americans confidence that Congress is acting solely in the national interest.”

“Members of Congress are entrusted to fight for the interests of their constituents – not advance their own personal financial position.

I’m proud to join my colleagues to intro-

duce the ETHICS Act to prohibit Members of Congress and their direct family members from trading and holding stocks,” said Luján. “The American people expect their representatives in Congress to serve the public’s interest, not their own,” said Baldwin.

the owner of Kimball Custom Art. Him and his wife have two children currently in the Bandon School District, which is part of the reason he decided to run for the open school board position back in 2019.

Kimball describes his experience on the school board as one of the “most rewarding” aspects of his life.

“We have two children in the school district,” Kimball said. “It has been one of the most rewarding aspects of our lives being able to be in our wonderful schools, meet our principals, our supers, our teachers. Previously I worked at a preschool that was housed in Ocean Crest, and I fell in love with the school, with the teachers.”

When asked what relevant skills and experience he brings to the school board regarding education, personnel management, and judgement management, Kimball said previous experience working in a pre-school and his time spent with children through the church are his most relevant experiences.

“Relevant skills and experience I have is that I’ve worked in a preschool. We had a very low-budget preschool, which meant that we were very hands on,” Kimball said. “That translates to looking over these budgets and going, ‘we’re supposed to pay everything with this small budget?’ I have years of spending time with children through the church. I’ve counseled many highschool camps. Organizing kids and people is one of the things I’ve come to learn. I talk to people, and I communicate. And I think that one of the most important things we can do on a board is talk to people and communicate with one another.”

Kimball said his favorite way to connect the community and the superintendent is through direct communication and conversations.

“My favorite way [to connect the community and superintendent] is through direct communications and conversations,” Kimball said. “My favorite thing to do was walk the halls. We went everywhere. You learn so much more by having those conversations along the way. There’s something special about having that one-on-one chat with the people.”

Kimball was also asked if he believes the school district needs to provide more mental health resources for students. He said he thinks they absolutely need to.

“Does the school need to provide more mental health? Absolutely,” Kimball said. “Let me tell you a few things the school board has been doing since I’ve

been on. We’ve had an administrator who was been providing social and emotional training and she’s been providing it for the entire staff, from janitors to bus drivers. Everyone is getting training on how to deal with themselves.

I’m amazed at how it translates from our teachers and staff to our kids. If everyone is communicating the same language and the same learning, they can help each other out.”

Anthony Zunino

Anthony Zunino has lived in Bandon for 28 years. He has 15 years of public safety experience, working for both the Coos County Sheriff’s Office and Bandon Police Department. Currently, he is the self-employed proprietor of Freedom Graphics. Zunino spent 8 years on the Bandon Rural Fire Protection District Board and has served on the Bandon School Board since 2022. He said coming from a large school district to Bandon School District as a kid showed him that he preferred the smaller, personalized school experience Bandon provides. “I came from a 6A school of 4800 kids and came to Bandon to walk into a class of 45,” Zunino said. “It was quite the culture shock, to say the least. But I learned very quickly that that’s where it’s at, right here in Bandon and the way our educators direct their attention to students.”

When asked what relevant skills and experience he brings to the school board regarding education, personnel management, and judgement management, Zunino said most of his relevant experience comes from being a student in the school district.

“My experience in education has mostly been as a student. I’ve learned in multiple learning environments, in a 6A school district and a 2A school district, Zunino said. “Beyond that, I was a field training officer when I worked for the sheriff’s office, so I do have some experience on the teaching side of things as well. On a personnel management point of view, I was a supervisor for the sheriff’s office, so I understand working with time management and dealing with time off. On the budget piece of things, for the Bandon Rural Fire Protection District it’s a public budget just like the school district, so I’ve learned to wade through those volumes of documents to learn where the money goes. I’ve also worked on a few non-profits’ boards.”

Zunino said he thinks being a great liaison between the community and superintendent involves being transparent and getting to know

the school staff.

“As a school board member, I believe that’s our primary function,” Zunino said. “Were the frontline to the taxpayers and the parents in the district. I think it’s extremely important to be transparent and be available to people if they’re willing to talk to you. I also think that getting to know your staff in the schools is extremely important. In doing that I try to attend as many functions as I can.”

Zunino was also asked if he believes the school district needs to provide more mental health resources for students. He said he believes they do.

“I would say yes to that. Of course, I would refer to our professionals within the district, but I feel like socially and economically it seems like the world is accelerating in the way things change, making it tough to try and keep up with social norms,” Zunino said. “I think there are so many facets were not even aware of. Yes, I would say that the mental health would be prudent and applicable, at least if nothing else from an assessment point of view, trying to figure out some of the challenges that these kiddos are facing on a daily basis.”

Martha Lane

Martha Lane was born in western New York and moved to Portland, Oregon when she was in eighth grade. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts from Portland State University and a Master of Arts in education from the University of Portland. Lane also has about 40 years of teaching experience in kindergarten through community college levels, and 31 years of teaching experience in the Bandon School District. Lane said she thinks there’s still room for improvement in the Bandon School District despite the solid practices already in place.

“Do I see things that can be improved? Of course. Do I see exemplary, solid practices

and evidence in all the schools? Absolutely,” Lane said. “This is a great school district. There are many important topics facing education today, and some of them need to be seriously studied.

To me, none is more important than the dayto-day ethical care and safety of every person in the schools.”

When asked what relevant skills and experience she brings to the school board regarding education, personnel management, and judgement management, Lane said her 40 years of teaching experience comes into play.

“Because I have 40 years of working in education, strong skills for me would be communication and knowledge of the innerworkings of the school system,” Lane said. “I think that I would establish time in each school and use my ability to talk to people and listen. I’d also set up on email account specifically for our millennial parents so there’s a way for them to access us.”

Lane said she would set up avenues for good communication and utilize polls and surveys when operating as a liaison between the community and the superintendent.

“I would set up avenues for good communication – polls and surveys approved and shared with the relevant people concerned with those results,” Lane said. “I think that frequently visiting buildings, networking with other important community endeavors around our town is important, too. I think that establishing time in each school and meeting the kids in our schools is important as well.”

Lane was also asked if she believes the school district needs to provide more mental health resources for students. She said she isn’t sure what’s currently being provided, but that mental health is an important field of study.

“I’m not exactly sure

what is being provided for our professionals and students in our schools, but that it is an important field of study,” Lane said.

“I think that a good, healthy school climate can go a long way to making differences acceptable and bullying to recede. It’s really, really important that we consider children at their age, their interest level, we teach to them specifically where they are and lead them forward to reduce anxiety. I think school should be a pleasant situation.”

Farrell C. Fox Farrell C. Fox is a graduate of Royal Oak High School and previously worked as a construction electrician. He is a father of six children and has experience in various types of schools, including public, private, Christian, and charter schools. Fox is a trustee at the Bandon First Baptist Church. He said he hopes to address any issues in the Bandon School District by making a positive impact.

“I feel that there’s a lot of things going on in the school systems that need to be straightened out across the country,” Fox said. “Currently, I’m not sure if there are any problems in Bandon. Hopefully I’ll be able to have a positive impact in that aspect.”

When asked what relevant skills and experience he brings to the school board regarding education, personnel management, and judgement management, Fox said his experience as a foreman in the construction industry has prepared him well.

“My experience in the construction industry was as a foreman, so there’s a bit of management involved with that,” Fox said. “I also spent four years in apprentice class to become a general electrician. What I believe is important for all that are involved in the system of education is common sense when things are being discussed and decided upon. There’s

a lot of bad decisions being made in different places regarding the safety of children and the exploitation of children that I think are really bad.”

Fox said open communication and honesty are the most important aspects when operating as a liaison between the community and the superintendent.

“Communication is obviously the primary thing there, I believe,” Fox said. “The parents are the ones who own the children. I think there seems to be a push in a different direction than that. Being honest goes a long way, I believe. Say what you mean and mean what you say.”

Fox was also asked if he believes the school district needs to provide more mental health resources for students. He said he doesn’t know what’s currently being provided, but that it needs to be sufficient.

“I don’t know at what level they are currently providing, but I think it needs to be sufficient mental health assistance,” Fox said. “Also, all the staff should be able to recognize when there is a problem with a student, so that student should be counseled appropriately. When kids are disruptive, the soft hand of correction needs to come into play. Children need to understand there are others involved. The children are there to learn.”

Greg Looney Greg Looney has served on the Bandon School Board for the last four years. Previously, Looney worked as a police officer and journeyman lineman for the City of Bandon. Looney was out of town and unable to attend the public forum.

State Rep. Boice Issues Statement on Passage of House Bill 2002 B

Last week, Representative Emily McIntire (R-Eagle Point) called for a point of order on the House floor highlighting House Bill 2002 B’s noncompliance with ORS 171.134 and House Rules 14.15. Speaker Rayfield and legislative counsel made a ruling to unlawfully continue the debate and vote on House Bill 2002 B in its current form. Republicans plan on doing everything within our power to uphold the law, including seeking remedy from the courts for the unlawful actions by the presiding officers.

Article IV, Section 21 of the Oregon Constitution requires

every legislative act to be plainly worded, avoiding as far as practicable the use of technical terms.

ORS 171.134 requires all measure summaries prepared by the Legislative Assembly to “be written in a manner that results in a score of at least 60 on the Flesch readability test.” As stated in the letter, House Bill 2002 B has a Flesch readability of 14, which falls well below the required score of 60.

“Oregon Democrats are feverishly adopting the nations’ most extreme law on abortion and gender altering surgeries”, stated Represen-

tative Court Boice (R-Gold Beach).

In addition to ORS 171.134, House Rule 14.15 states that no measure can be accepted by the Chief Clerk if it is not accompanied by an impartial summary of the measure’s content which clearly describes the new law and changes in existing law proposed by the measure.

“Incredulously, this bill will mean Oregon taxpayers will have to pay for abortions and irreversible sex-changing treatments not only for Oregon residents, but non-Oregon residents also,” added Representative Court Boice (R-Gold Beach).

House Bill 2002 B passed out of the House with a final vote of 36-23. If passed in the Senate and signed into law by the Governor, this legislation will allow the following:

• Minors below 15 to obtain abortions without parental consent. A doctor may not disclose this information to a child’s parent unless the child provides explicit written permission.

• Expands the use of taxpayer dollars for irreversible sex-changing treatments and procedures – including sterilization for those as young as 15 – without parental consent.

• Mandates private insurers

to cover these procedures, allowing minors to undergo treatment on their parents’ insurance without their knowing.

• Vastly expands the types of irreversible sex-changing treatments and procedures funded by Oregon taxpayers. These services will be offered through the Healthier Oregon program, which provides health coverage to low-income individuals who would qualify for Medicaid except for immigration status and who “live in Oregon.”

According to the Oregon Health Authority, there’s no time requirement to establish residency.

By JOHN GUNTHER

For The World

COOS BAY — Marshfield needed to win both games of Friday’s doubleheader with visiting North Bend to take the Sky-Em League title away from the Bulldogs. They found a way to win the first game 8-7 with a seventh-inning rally

and outscored the Bulldogs 19-13 in the nightcap for the rivalry sweep and league title, which comes with the benefit of a bye directly into the Class 4A playoffs, where the Pirates will host a yetto-be-determined foe.

North Bend will host a game in the play-in round, with a win also putting the Bulldogs into

the final 16.

It is Marshfield’s first league title since 2015, when assistant coach Katelyn Rossback played for the Pirates. It also continues a trend that started in the fall.

“I’m so excited for these girls,” Marshfield coach Chelsea Burns said. “This is the first time in Marshfield history that

the three major team sports (also including volleyball and basketball) have won the league title (the same school year).”

It almost didn’t happen. North Bend led the first game 7-4 when the Pirates came to bat in the bottom of the sixth in-

Letters to the Editor

Business as usual

No surprise. Two more mass shootings yesterday. What else is new?

One new twist, the state of Texas refuses to name the weapon that was used there, even though published photos show it to be an AR-15 assault style rifle. They wouldn’t want the mass killing to cause negative feelings about the AR-15. It’s a very profitable commodity.

Who gains from the shooting? The sellers and the manufacturers gain because after every mass shooting there is a spike in gun sales. Politicians get more donations from the NRA and others, and they make new laws which make guns even more easily available. The guys who manufacture and sell them want it that way. Its money in their pockets.

The more guns we have, the more they are used. The more guns, the more death by guns, and the less safe we are. If everyone carried a gun, no-one would be safe. That’s what it’s coming to, and it may be too late to correct it.

The state representative for this district, Boomer Wright, spoke on the House floor of our State Capitol on 5/2/2023 in opposition to HB2005 (Gun Violence Reduction). He displayed an incredible lack of empathy for victims of gun violence, especially those young people who have been murdered and injured in our schools. He had the gall and unbelievable poor taste to actually compare the shooting of a spit wad in a classroom to the firing of bullets in a classroom.

Mr. Wright describes a traumatic and unfortunate experience as a student in a fifth-grade classroom. Nobody owned up to firing a spit wad at the back of the head of the teacher, so the whole class had to stay in at lunchtime and put their heads down on their desks. This was ”torture”, according to Mr. Wright, and “it was not fair.”

Somehow Mr. Wright makes a sick connection between that spit wad in a classroom and HB2005, which he claims punishes everyone and is “not fair now to our 1820 year olds.”

He went on to say, “Is this Bill the slippery slope we are going down to do away with all gun rights, as we are doing away with vehicles that use fossil fuels?”

I am embarrassed that these words were spoken in the Legislature of our State Capitol.

Why I’m running Hauser Fire District Residents, I feel it is only right I respond to Nick Long’s Letter of May 5 as he seems to attack me and the information I provided March 17. First, let me say I am not new to Hauser RFPD as I originally was among the first volunteers to join the Hauser RFPD in 1975 when the department first formed, and was an active member for 40 plus years. I was asked to serve on the Board of Directors in 1976 which I did for 35 years. I was chairman 12 years and treasurer 20 years. I was budget officer from 1979 until 2016. I have missed less than five board meetings since 1976. I understand the financing

and use of public funds. Unlike Mr. Long who has been attending meetings for only two or three years. Mr. Long and many other volunteers live 10 or more miles from the fire district and do not contribute taxes to Hauser RFPD.

Mr. Long said the financial report “disclose quite the opposite of Mr. Hoffman’s portrayals.” I refer to page 19 and 20 of the 2021-2022 ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT, by Wheeler & Grimes. Total Personal Services budgeted$147,000.00 Actually Spent $ 70,974.00; Ma- terial & Services budgeted- $146,000.00

Actually Spent $93,509.00; Real Property Improvements budgeted- $100,000.00

Actually Spent $ 809.00. That leave $227,708.00 surplus, no plans to spend it.

I agree Mr. Long encouraging residents to attend the May15 Hauser Board Meeting and see how the district plans to spend your Tax money. Remember for every $150,000 the budget is reduced saves you approximately $200 in taxes.

This is why I have chosen to seek your vote.

I am voting for change

I will not be voting for the incumbents, but rather for candidates Sue Gold and Gayle Wilcox for the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative Board of Directors. Currently, most directors on the board have held their positions for more than a decade. A few much more than that.

When elected, the incumbents’ experience in the utility business was thought to be helpful. However, such experience has not resulted in a stronger CCEC, a cooperative that has, in the past three years, lost its compass. The recent direction of our CCEC directors has been to participate with and go up against the major players in the telecommunications industry.

The Board directors authorized CCEC and Beacon Broadband to borrow an aggregate $120 million, secured or guaranteed by CCEC. The decisions made by all but one current director were made using the good reputation of our electric cooperative that could now be saddled for decades with authorized loans. This is your debt.

In the past three years, the cooperative has changed. These changes require a different set of skills for board directors. We need independent, experienced thinkers.

Sue Gold has a background as a high school and college math teacher. Gayle Wilcox has been a business owner for more than 30 years and served as fire chief for the Port Orford Volunteer Fire Department. These two candidates know numbers. They understand risk/benefit analysis and can determine whether more money is being borrowed and/or spent than is ever expected to come in.

They believe that member/ owners of a cooperative have rights, such as voting on whether their electric cooperative should be encumbered, possibly for decades with loans for a non-core product.

Sue and Gayle do not agree with the actions of the CCEC Board, including the two incumbents, when they removed an elected director from the Beacon Broadband board because that director exercised independent thinking and her fiduciary responsibility. CCEC has changed and this requires change on the board.

Old bones can be a small town’s movie stars

By AdAm LArson

The prehistoric past can perk up the present. When woolly mammoth bones were found in my hometown in Wisconsin years ago, they became the centerpiece of one of our local museums. Today, they continue to attract visitors and serve as one of the city’s informal symbols.

Unfortunately, the story across much of the fossil-rich West is more abandonment than local fame. During the late 19th century, paleontologists made huge finds in the region, excavating specimens of famed dinosaurs like Triceratops, Stegosaurus, Diplodocus and Allosaurus.

But like many would-be movie stars, the bones ended up leaving their rural sites to find fame in the big cities. Left behind were holes—literally, in the case of the dinos.

It took time for the West to stake its claim to keeping some fossil finds at home.

Countless fossils, for example, have been exhumed in Wyoming since the late 19th century, but the University of Wyoming Geological Museum in Laramie didn’t have a single mount of a Wyoming dinosaur until 1961.

One reason was money. Even today, a town might be located right next to spectacular fossil sites, but limited municipal budgets can make it hard to keep the lights on in a museum. Funding for the collection, curation and study of fossils doesn’t always match up with areas containing many fossils.

Yet everyone benefits when at least some fossil finds stay put. In many cases, they are discovered not by paleontologists but by ordinary citizens.

In 2006, oil workers in Wyoming happened upon giant white bones, recognized their importance, and called in experts. The bones were part of an enormous, 11,600-year-old Columbian mammoth.

Thankfully, that mammoth is now on public display at the Tate Geological Museum in Casper, Wyoming. The

landowners whose property contained the mammoth bones thoughtfully chose to donate them.

Once in local museums, fossil displays give people in the area examples of the bones they might come across, and a place for them to contact if they find something unusual. When locally found fossils stay local, they also connect people to their prehistoric heritage and encourage them to donate discoveries to local museums.

But there’s more: fossils help the local economy by attracting visitors. Once local museums start drawing a crowd, they can help pay for themselves while also indirectly contributing to schools and roads. According to the national group Americans for the Arts, tourism from museums and other cultural nonprofits generates five dollars in tax revenue for each dollar they receive in government funding.

Thankfully, a lot has changed since the first fossil hunters descended upon the West in search of prehistoric dinosaurs, mammals and more. Fossil fans in the West no longer have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles to see incredible discoveries made in their home states.

For example, in Ekalaka, Montana, population 399, the Carter County Museum hosts an annual “Dino Shindig,” which attracts paleontologists from across the country and hundreds of other visitors.

As Carter County Museum director Sabre Moore told the documentary series Prehistoric Road Trip, the Shindig shares groundbreaking science and includes the landowners who made the discoveries possible.

At the Wyoming Dinosaur Center in Thermopolis, population 2,725, visitors can see fossils of dinosaurs large and small, tour active dig sites and even take part in the digs themselves.

“I like that we’re a destination for folks coming to Thermopolis,” said Levi Shinkle,

collections manager at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center and a Thermopolis native. “We’re a small museum,” he added, “but we’re often in the same conversations as the large museums in urban centers.”

In North Dakota, the North Dakota State Fossil Collection is on a quest, in the words of founder John Hoganson, to put “a fossil exhibit in every town.” The program has helped put up more than two dozen paleontology and geology exhibits across the state, from Pembina, population 512, to Lidgerwood, population 600, to Bowman, population 1,470.

Sharing a home where the dinosaurs once roamed definitely adds to local pride.

When the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana, obtained a second large Tyrannosaurus rex, they put the second one up on display in the museum as “Montana’s T. rex,” and they loaned the other to the Smithsonian in Washington, DC, where it’s now known as the “Nation’s T. rex.”

Sharing the riches of the West’s past—right here in the West— enriches everyone.

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

This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. Also, please be advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while there is a default. This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the referenced property. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL

TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 08/29/2023 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will

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

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

ABOUT YOUR TENANCY

AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE

The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you.

Exercise prepares airport, local authorities for rare emergency

Personnel from multiple agencies gathered around the table to review a portion of the Airport Emergency Plan for the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. The Tabletop Exercise is a requirement of the ongoing process to be certified to operate as a commercial airport. It also helps agencies review how to respond in the event of a disaster whether it is human or naturally caused.

The mass casualty Tabletop Exercise simulated a water rescue following the crash of a commercial passenger jet. The plane experienced engine failure upon takeoff and was carrying 75 people. Representatives from multiple agencies ran the scenario and discussed roles and responsibilities. They also covered the best practices regarding communications with other agencies and the public, evacuation of passengers and crew, airport accessibility for responding agencies, and possible hazards.

The North Bend Sector of the US Coast Guard, North Bend Fire Department, Bay Area Hospital, Reach Air Medical Services, Skywest, TSA, and personnel from the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport attended

the exercise. Airport Fire Chief and Operations Manager, Bob Hood, facilitated the tabletop exercise and says, preparing for an emergency at the airport is nothing new, “To reduce the impacts of an emergency and save lives, regular training is not only essential but required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).” Each year, the airport records required by the Part 139 Certification are reviewed and evaluated by the FAA. That includes an inspection of mandatory records of training that is undertaken each month.

The Southwest Oregon Regional Airport is the only Part 139 Certified Commercial Airport on the Oregon coast. It is owned and operated by the Coos County Airport District (CCAD).

CCAD has owned the airport and 619 landside and airside acres for 20 years. It also leases over 33 commercial facilities, that combined with those tenants, help employ over 600 personnel.

Wright Issues Statement on Passage of House Bill 2002

Last week, House Democrats passed House Bill 2002 B with a final vote of 36-23 despite nearly 10 hours of floor debate and countless attempts by House Republicans to refer the bill back to committee.

“As I have stated before and will state again, parents are their child’s primary teacher. When politicians start stepping in the middle of that sacred relationship – there is a clear problem. That is what I fear House Bill 2002 B will do if signed into law. Among many egregious

provisions within the bill, this legislation will allow a minor at any age to receive an abortion without parental consent. The parent will only be able to find out this information if the child provides written permission. How is a parent able to care for their child without information about the circumstance? This is too extreme for Oregon,” said Representative Boomer Wright (R-Reedsport).

If passed in the Senate and signed into law by the Governor, this legislation will allow the following:

• Minors below 15 to obtain abortions without parental consent. A doctor may not disclose this information to a child’s parent unless the child provides explicit written permission.

• Expands the use of taxpayer dollars for irreversible sex-changing treatments and procedures – including sterilization for those as young as 15 – without parental consent.

• Mandates private insurers to cover these procedures, allowing minors to undergo treatment on their parents’

insurance without their knowing.

• Vastly expands the types of irreversible sex-changing treatments and procedures funded by Oregon taxpayers. These services will be offered through the Healthier Oregon program, which provides health coverage to low-income individuals who would qualify for Medicaid except for immigration status and who “live in Oregon.”

According to the Oregon Health Authority, there’s no time requirement to establish residency.

• Removes the prohibition on concealing the birth of a newborn child.

Emergency responders from throughout the region gathered at the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport for a tabletop exercise to prepare for an emergency.

Boomer Wright

holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from UC Berkely and a law degree from the University of San Francisco.

He has practiced law in Oregon since 1984 and in Coos County since 1994. He has also served as judge pro tem for the Oregon Circuit Court since 2004. McClintock has two girls who are Freshman at North Bend High School and is running because he wants to make a difference.

“I’m running for the school board because I really want to make a difference,” McClintock said. “I really want to create the best learning environment for our teachers to teach and our students to learn. Part of my dynamic is to keep politics out of the decision-making for the school board.”

When asked what he believes the top roles and responsibilities of board members are, McClintock said setting policies is the most important role.

“The primary role as members of the board is to set a policy for the school itself,” McClintock said. “In order to do that, I think you need to communicate with community members, parents, with the administrators and teachers

The school board is not running the day-today operations of the school. That is what the superintendents for.”

McClintock was also asked how he will address the needs of different students, including houseless students, LGBTQ students, and others. He said he wants to expand the scope of services provided to these groups of students.

“Homelessness is a problem this community can’t handle,” McClintock said. “Talking to some of the teachers, it is having an effect on some students that basically don’t get a meal to eat because they’re homeless. Fortunately, there is free breakfast and free lunch program for these students. But sometimes they can’t get to school in time for that. Expanding the scope of that for those kids would be a wonderful thing.”

McClintock said that when it comes to finding a new superintendent, he’s looking for someone with experience and to involve all stakeholders in the search process.

“In terms of the stakeholders, I think we need to involve everyone,” McClintock said. “The teachers, the administrative staff, even the students to a certain extent, and parents of course. I think we need to involve the community as a whole, because the more we involve the community in the school district, make them part of the solution, I think the better we are. What we’re looking for in terms of the superintendent, I think, is someone with experience.

“We don’t want a rookie. We have some serious issues we need to deal with. We want someone who is very capable, who doesn’t have a political agenda, we want someone who is open to LGBTQ, to assisting people with disabilities. Basically, we want someone who is going to be the superintendent for all the students.”

Hira H. Qadir

“My first step would be to treat everybody with the same equity. I want to make sure that when I look at a student, I look at them individually, I see what their needs are. Similarly, I’ve heard that a lot of homeless students don’t identify themselves as homeless kids. So, I want to have resources for these kids, where they can go and talk to someone about it instead of dealing with it by themselves. I just want to make sure I take care of them as students.”

each attended North Bend schools. She said she’s running for the board position not only to do something for her own kids, but also for the community and the kids in the community at large.

“I’m a mom of three great kids. I took this opportunity to make sure I’m using my time toward an investment that will last forever, which is in our kids, our future generations, our students,” Qadir said. “I wanted to make sure I’m doing something that’s not only for my own kids, but for our community and our students.

“I want to listen to what everyone else has to say. I want to be the voice of everyone and then make a decision.”

When asked what she believes the top roles and responsibilities of board members are, Qadir said her top three responsibilities are to be a collaborator, work on bonds, and implement state and federal policies.

“The top three responsibilities and roles of the school board in my eyes are to be the collaborators of values and policies from the community to the students,” Qadir said. “I see the school board as the middle person who sees everything the students have to say, the community has to say. The second thing, for me, is to work on the bonds. The bonds are really important for the schools and the community. The last thing is to implement state and federal policies. Whatever the state decides, we have to make sure it goes well.”

Qadir was also asked how she will address the needs of different students, including houseless students, LGBTQ students, and others. She said she plants to treat everyone equally and expand resources for these groups.

“My first step would be to treat everybody with the same equity,” Qadir said. “I want to make sure that when I look at a student, I look at them individually, I see what their needs are.

observant and flexible they are, but also whether the understand the community.

“I would look at them and see how observant they are, how flexible they are in observing other people’s issues, how flexible they are in stepping outside their bubble,” Qadir said. “I want to make sure they understand that this is our community, these are our basic needs. I think it’s important for our superintendent to have an open mind, to have a new perspective, because what they will be walking in to is tough. So, the new person needs to be responsible, needs to have an open mind. The stakeholders would be me, you, students, all community members. We need to make sure our students are getting the best of it, and everyone should be involved.”

Elliot Adams

Elliot Adams is a graduate of North Bend High School and holds an associate degree from SWOCC in nursing and a Bachelor of Science in pre-pharmacy from Oregon State University. He works as a registered nurse, which is part of the reason he believes he would be a great fit for the school board.

“With my experience as a nurse, I work across a disciplinary team, so I have experience not only working in multiple levels of management positions, but I also get to work with a diverse array of people from the community,” Adams said. “It’s up to me to acknowledge biases and leave biases at the door to try and figure out solutions that take all sorts of opinions and walks of life into consideration, in order to come out with a patient-centered goal.”

When asked what he believes the top roles and responsibilities of board members are, Adams said hiring a new superintendent and implementing policies from the state level were the two most important roles.

“One of the most important roles of the school board is hiring the new superintendent, who you trust to run the school district in general,” Adams said. “Another role of the school board is to adopt and implement policies from the state level down to the community level. They’re kind of the face of the school district in general.

“We’re kind of the public role models of this position.”

Bay Branch.

“I think there’s a lot of resources in this community,” Adams said. “Both North Bend and Coos Bay are both very willing to rally around their sports teams. If only they were willing to rally around all of their students and step up for what’s right. I think this comes down to more community support. We need more community support to get more resources. I think it’s ultimately down to the community stepping up and taking more responsibility in supporting these marginalized groups.”

Adams said that when it comes to finding a new superintendent, he’s looking for experience and a reason for why they want to work in the community.

“I think an experienced superintendent is a very good choice because it does sound like we have a lot of heavy topics,” Adams said. “I think a non-political, non-religious person should be chosen for our superintendent because this should be a non-partisan, secular institution. I think we should examine why they left their last job and why they want to work in our community.”

Charlotte Hutt

Charlotte Hutt is a retired teacher of 30 years with experience teaching from the junior high to community college level. She holds a bachelor’s degree in math and liberal arts from Evergreen State College and a master’s degree in math education from Oregon State University. Hutt said her experience working in schools has given her an awareness of many of the problems they are facing.

“I’m aware of many of the problems we face, and I’ve worked in many capacities in schools, too,” Hutt said. “I’ve worked hard to become a great team builder so we can solve all those problems. I think what I can bring to the board is the ability to know where some of those solutions are. I also understand the regulations that schools fall under. I’m very open and willing to communicate with everyone that has a stake in this, which is most importantly our students, teachers, and our parents.”

When asked what she believes the top roles and responsibilities of board members are, Hutt said setting policy, setting a positive tone, and hiring a superintendent are the three most important roles.

“Setting policy is really bridging the gap between what the schools need, what the community needs, and what the state regulations are. So that is a huge priority, I think,” Hutt said. “We can also set a positive tone, which is number two for me. We are the umbrella organization for the school district, and by doing

I’m very open and willing to communicate with everyone that has a stake in this, which is most importantly our students, teachers, and our parents.”

that, when it’s time to pass a bond, we can all be out there working for that bond. And then hiring that superintendent is number three, because that superintendent works with the board. The board needs to really use that superintendent because that person is really skilled.”

Hutt was also asked how she will address the needs of different students, including houseless students, LGBTQ students, and others. She said she commends the services currently available to children in these groups but would still want to expand them.

“As a teacher a long time ago, I brought the apples and the granola bars to class, because there weren’t services for our students who were coming in hungry,” Hutt said. “We do have some of those services now, and I’ve been very happy to see that. I would also add to that a welcoming person in the morning whose making sure the children are really being guided and studying. The other thing I find quite commendable is that the district is following the state policy of bussing students from wherever they might end up back to their home school. I was a foster child and I moved from place to place as I moved from foster home to foster home. It was actually teachers and librarians that saved me.”

Hutt said that when it comes to finding a new superintendent, the ability to communicate and to listen are the most important qualities to her.

“I’m going to stress communication. A superintendent will know the laws probably better than any of us, and that person is going to need to communicate why we obey the laws as we set policies for this district,” Hutt said. “They also need to go out and

listen and help bring people together. I really do want them to get to know what’s going on in our schools, with our teachers, with our families and students. I want them to be the face of the district.”

Massive iceberg discharges during the last ice age had no impact on nearby Greenland, raising new questions about climate dynamics

BY MICHELLE KLAMPE

Guest Article

During the last ice age, massive icebergs periodically broke off from an ice sheet covering a large swath of North America and discharged rapidly melting ice into the North Atlantic Ocean around Greenland, triggering abrupt climate change impacts across the globe.

These sudden episodes, called Heinrich Events, occurred between 16,000 and

60,000 years ago. They altered the circulation of the world’s oceans, spurring cooling in the North Atlantic and impacting monsoon rainfall around the world.

But little was known about the events’ effect on nearby Greenland, which is thought to be very sensitive to events in the North Atlantic. A new study from Oregon State University researchers, just published in the journal Nature, provides a definitive answer.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

“It turns out, nothing happened in Greenland. The temperature just stayed the same,” said the study’s lead author, Kaden Martin, a fourthyear doctoral candidate in OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.

“They had front-row seats to this action but didn’t see the show.”

Instead, the researchers found that these Heinrich events caused rapid warming in Antarctica, at the other end of the globe.

The researchers anticipated Greenland, in close proximity to the ice sheet, would have experienced some kind of cooling. To find that these Heinrich Events had no discernible impact on temperatures in Greenland is surprising and could have repercussions for scientists’ understanding of past climate dynamics, said study co-author Christo Buizert, an assistant professor in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.

“If anything, our findings raise more questions than answers,” said Buizert, a climate change specialist who uses ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica to reconstruct and understand the Earth’s climate history. “This really changes how we look at these massive events in the North Atlantic. It’s puzzling that far-flung Antarctica responds more strongly than nearby Greenland.”

Scientists drill and preserve ice cores to study past climate history through analysis of the dust and tiny air bubbles that have been trapped in the ice over time. Ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica provide important records of Earth’s atmospheric changes over hundreds of thousands of years. Records from ice cores from those regions have served as pillars for scientists’ understanding of past climate events, with ice collected from both locations often telling similar stories, Martin said.

The impact of Heinrich Events on Greenland and Antarctica was not well understood, spurring Martin and Buizert to try to find out more about what was happening in those parts of the world.

The core used for the latest study was collected in 1992 from the highest point of Greenland, where the ice sheet is around 2 miles thick. Since then, the core has been in storage in the National Science Foundation Ice Core Facility in Denver.

Advancement in scientific tools and measurements over the last few decades gave Martin, Buizert and their colleagues the opportunity to re-examine the core using new methods.

The analysis shows that no changes in temperatures occurred in Greenland during Heinrich Events. But it also provides a very clear connection between Heinrich Events and the Antarctic response.

“When these big iceberg discharges happen in the Arctic, we now know that Antarctica responds right away,” Buizert said. “What happens in one part of the world has an effect on the rest of the world. This inter-hemispheric connection is likely caused by change in global wind patterns.”

The finding challenges the current understanding of global climate dynamics during these massive events and raises new questions for researchers, Buizert said. The researchers’ next step is to take the new information and run it through climate models to see if the models can replicate what occurred.

“There has to be a story that fits all of the evidence, something that connects all the dots,” he said. “Our discovery adds two new dots; it’s not the full story, and it may not be the main story. It is possible that the Pacific Ocean plays an important role that we haven’t figured out yet.”

The ultimate goal is to better understand how the climate system is connected and how the components all interact, the researchers said.

“While Heinrich Events are not going to happen in the future, abrupt changes in the globally interconnected climate system will happen again,” Martin said. “Understanding the global dynamics of the climate system can help us better project future impacts and inform how we respond and adapt.”

Jury duty scams reported in Oregon

The Oregon Judicial Department (OJD) is reporting that Oregonians are once again being targeted by fraudulent phone calls, emails, or texts threatening them with fines, prosecution, or jail time for failing to comply with jury service. The most recent reports are from the Willamette Valley, but it is likely that other areas may be targeted as well.

In the latest version of this scam, citizens are being told that they owe fines for not responding to a jury summons. They are then pressured to purchase prepaid debit/ gift cards and provide these cards or card code numbers to people over the phone or in person. These fraudulent calls and messages are not connected with the state or federal courts. State and federal courts do not require anyone to provide sensitive information in a telephone call, email, or text. Oregon state courts may provide jury notices and reminders by text, but these will not request personal information, make threats, or demand money.

Here is what to do if you receive a jury-related phone call, email or text that demands information or money:

• DO NOT provide

the requested information or payment.

• DO NOT reply directly to the text or email, click on any links, or open any attachments, even if it appears that the message is coming from the court or a local police agency. Scammers often create messages that look like they are coming from a legitimate source.

• If possible, get the caller’s name and number and then hang up.

• Reach out directly to your local circuit court jury coordinator to verify or report the contact. Contact information for the state circuit courts is available at courts. oregon.gov/courts. For Oregon’s federal courts, information about jury service and possible scams is available at ord. uscourts.gov/jurors.

If you have received one of these calls, emails, or texts and have given out personal information, monitor your account statements and credit reports carefully. If any unauthorized charges are made, report the theft to local law enforcement and the Federal Trade Commission at 877-438-4338 or www.consumer.gov/ idtheft. Also, contact a credit bureau to request that it place a fraud alert on your credit history.

California condor samples test positive for H5N1 bird flu at OSU’s veterinary diagnostic laboratory

BY MOLLY ROSBACH Guest Article

At least seven deceased California condors from a northern Arizona population were infected with highly pathogenic avian influenza this spring, the Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Oregon State University has found.

As of Monday, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has reported a total of 20 deceased condors in the Arizona flock, with 10 confirmed positive for HPAI, including those tested at OSU. OSU is currently testing additional deceased condor samples for HPAI. The deceased birds to date represent nearly 4% of the condor population left in the world.

The OSU laboratory detected HPAI in samples from 11 dead condors from the Arizona population.

Seven of those have been confirmed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Veterinary Services Lab-

ning. They scored twice then, but were down to their final out in the seventh with nobody on base when the Bulldogs opened the door.

North Bend pitcher

Sarah Shore hit two straight batters and Marshfield scored the tying run on a throwing error when the Bulldogs tried to pick off the lead runner.

Then Jocelyn Mulkey drove a single through the left side of the infield to bring in the winning run.

“I was more impressed with the first game,” Burns said. ‘That was a testament to their resilience.”

The nightcap included numerous miscues by both teams, with Marshfield again making the most of the opportunities to win, completing a season sweep of North Bend, which won its other nine league games.

“It was a great situation for both schools,” North Bend coach John Olson said of the final game determining the league title. “One school took advantage of the other school’s mistakes.

“Marshfield did what it had to do in all three games against us. Hats off to them.”

After North Bend scored a run in the first, Marshfield had two runs without a hit in its half of the inning, courtesy of two more hit batters by Shore.

Then in the second,

oratory, and OSU lab supervisors are awaiting final confirmation on the last four samples OSU tested.

The same virulent H5N1 strain of avian influenza has been responsible for the deaths of more than 40 million egg-laying hens in the U.S since the current outbreak began in January 2022, with the losses also contributing to rising egg prices. The virus, which has no cure, is spread via bird-to-bird contact and also affects many mammals.

There are only about 500 California condors in the world, so a highly pathogenic, highly contagious disease hitting the species is alarming, said Kurt Williams, director of the diagnostic laboratory housed in OSU’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine. Due to many human factors including poisoning, shooting, habitat degradation and the collection of eggs and feathers, California condors nearly went extinct in the 1980s, with a population low of

the Pirates scored four runs with two outs when a dropped third strike on what would have been the final out kept the inning alive.

Marshfield led 6-2, but North Bend got three runs with two outs in the third to narrow the gap to one. After the Pirates plated two runs in their half of the third, North Bend went in front with five runs in the fourth, the biggest boost a three-run home run by Mckenzie Breakfield.

But Marshfield went in front for good with seven runs in their half, and only one hit, as North Bend’s generous pitching continued.

The Bulldogs had four walks and seven hit batters in the first game and nine walks and four more hit batters in the nightcap.

Not that there weren’t hitting highlights for the two teams, especially North Bend.

Laila Veloz blasted a pair of two-run home runs in the first game and drove in three more runs with a pair of singles in the second.

Shore had a triple and Emma Spalding a double and two runs.

Breakfield had three hits in all, four RBIs and two runs and both Veloz and Rylee Samora, who had two hits, scored twice.

Gracie Peach had two hits, including a double, drove in three runs and scored four for the Pirates in the nightcap.

Faith Hite and CeCe Cox didn’t have any hits, but Faith scored three times and Cox four.

22 birds. Conservation and breeding programs have helped increase their numbers, but the birds are still at high risk, especially from lead poisoning caused by eating carcasses full of bullet fragments left by hunters.

“Their numbers are low enough that any individual leaving the population prematurely is an important event for the species,” Williams said. “This is a species that has made a remarkable recovery through conservation, and now to have this disease hit is pretty devastating.”

The 20 dead condors this spring were part of a population that spans several national parks in northern Arizona and southern Utah, with the first deceased female in the flock collected on March 20, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service. The carcasses were all sent to the National Fish and Wildlife Forensics Lab in Ashland for necropsies to determine cause of death.

Spleen samples from the birds were then sent to the diagnostic laboratory at OSU, where technicians extracted RNA and conducted PCR tests to identify the virus, said Donna Mulrooney, quality assurance manager in the laboratory.

Once OSU positively identified avian influenza, the condor samples were sent to the National Veterinary Service Laboratory in Iowa for final confirmation. Seven are confirmed and four are “presumed non-negative,” OSU lab supervisor Dawn Dirks said.

The disease affects several organ systems, primarily the respiratory, gastrointestinal and nervous systems. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, symptoms in birds include lethargy, inability to fly, erratic behavior, loss of coordination, cloudy eyes, swimming in circles and head shaking. Birds typically die within 72 hours of showing clinical signs.

Several factors have

made the current outbreak much more severe than previous avian flu outbreaks, Mulrooney and Williams said.

In the past, avian flu was more seasonal, flaring during spring and fall when waterfowl migrate but then

subsiding in the off-seasons. The outbreak that started in January 2022, however, has not really had an off-season, Williams said.

This outbreak is also affecting a much wider range of mammals, which carries the threat of spreading to humans.

Makenna Johnson had two hits and three RBIs, Tatum Montiel had two hits and drove in two runs, Natalie Jadin had two hits and two runs, Paige Macduff scored twice and Mulkey had two hits and an RBI and also pitched the final three innings in relief of Jayla Johnson.

In the first game, Macduff had two hits and three runs, Jadin scored twice and Mulkey had two RBIs for the Pirates. Samora had two hits and two runs and Spalding scored twice for the Bulldogs.

The good news for North Bend is that despite the heartbreaking loss, the Bulldogs still have the postseason to

look forward to.

“Now we get to see how the girls can bounce back for the playoffs,” Olson said. “They’ve bounced back from a poor start to the season (North Bend was 3-7 in the preseason). I’m confident they will bounce back.”

Marshfield will face Glide in a tuneup game on Wednesday, hoping to avenge a 6-3 loss to the Wildcats back on May 4.

Burns can’t wait to see how the Pirates do.

“I was really proud and impressed with their effort not giving up that first game,” she said. “And playing for each other — that’s something that we talked about.”
