Concerns as state announces plan to lift mask mandate DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
While Gleason said he understands the decision by the state, he warned that the pandemic was not over. “It’s not over yet,” Gleason said. “I understand the mindset of where we’re going, but we’re not there yet. Hopefully this gets us there in a meaningful manner.” Gleason said his biggest concern is the removal of mask requirements in schools, saying the number of vaccinated children is still low. While the state will allow school districts to implement their own mandates, Gleason said it is hard to envision that happening. “We know schools are probably going to get hit right after then 19th,” Gleason said. “You watch, and two to four weeks after schools are going to get hit. I think it’s a risk the state is willing to take.” While the mandate will be lifted, Gleason said people will still be able to wear masks if they
Less than an hour after the state of Oregon announced it was lifting COVID mask mandates March 19, Dr. Eric Gleason said the decision will lead to a rise in COVID cases. Gleason, the assistant director of Coos Health and Wellness, said any time protective measures are taken away, case counts go up. “When we lift the mandates, that means the numbers are most likely going to go up,” Gleason said. “It’s something that kept numbers lower than they could have been. I imagine we’re going to see numbers go up.” On Thursday, the state announced it was lifting mask mandates in public spaces and in schools March 19. The Oregon Health Authority said with hospitalizations decreasing, it is now safe to lift the most visible COVID mandate. Masks are still going to be required in healthcare facilities and public transit. Please see MASK MANDATE, Page A6

The state of Oregon announced last week it was planning to lift the indoor mask mandate, including at schools, as of March 19. Local health officials say they understand the decision, but they expect there will be an increase in cases when the protective measure is removed.
Coos Bay considering incentives for housing development DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
The Coos Bay City Council agreed to consider the possibility of waiving property taxes for up to 10 years as an incentive to bring the development of new multi-family construction into the city. During a work session last week, City Manager Rodger Craddock presented the possibility to the council.
“Coos Bay, like most of the state, is facing a housing shortage,” Craddock said. “We are blessed. We have more housing going on now than ever. A number of houses have been built, a number are under construction and more are in the planning phases. Most of what we are seeing is single family homes being built, very little multi-family homes. Many communities are using a new strategy called the multi-unit property tax exemp-
tion program, where it provide exemptions of up to 10 years for approved projects of three units or better.” The state of Oregon enabled the housing incentive program that allows cities to exempt property taxes. A 2020 housing needs study showed Coos Bay will need an additional 604 new housing units by 2040, although many feel that number is low. “Over the last few years, there have not been many of them

built,” Craddock said. “We saw a nine-plex and a six-plex built in 2021. The only unit in the pipeline is the Englewood School project. Rental demand had never been greater than what we’re seeing today and vastly exceeds supply. It’s not only the market we’re seeing but also the market rules.” Councilor Sara Stephens asked Craddock if Coos Bay could require the developers to set price limits or set aside a certain number of houses for the low-income. “You can, but it greatly impacts the ability to manage the project,” Craddock said. “It has to be managed and audited for the entire 10 years. It wouldn’t attract the developers, but there’s some benefit to it.” Craddock told the council if it was interested in the idea, there were two ways to move forward. The first would be going alone and waiving just the city portion of the property taxes. The second would be to try to get 51% of the taxing districts to join in, which would eliminate all new taxes. “I would argue that this is a very worthwhile incentive,” Craddock said. “If no one ever takes advantage of it, you’re not out of anything. But if we don’t have this program and nobody ever builds, you’re out of housing and increased property taxes.”

The Oregon Legislature is working to pass legislation that would infuse $400 million to help combat homelessness and provide affordable housing across Oregon. While much of the investment will happen in the larger cities of the state, funding is being made available to rural areas as well. During a press conference Thursday, Democratic leaders announced the funding package, which includes House Bill 4123.
HB 4123 will create a pilot program that provides funding for cities and counties that work together to combat homelessness. In Coos County, the cities and North Bend and Coos Bay are working with the county to host one of the pilot programs. In Lincoln County, the county is partnering with Lincoln City, the city of Newport and the city of Toledo to host one of the pilots. Representative Jason Kropf authored HB 4123, which was scheduled to be voted on Thursday in the Subcommittee on Transportation and Economic
Development. “Each pilot will establish a coordinated homeless response office,” Kropf said. “In doing so, our communities will be better positioned to leverage existing resources. Pilots will be required to report back on their plans, their progress, challenges and opportunities. Houselessness does not have a one size fits all solution.” HB 4123 will provide $1 million for each of the eight pilot programs, with a goal of finding what works and doesn’t work. State Rep. David Gomberg,

who represents Lincoln County in the Legislature, said the program is much needed. “As a coastal and a rural legislature, I’ve seen firsthand the plight of homelessness in our community,” he said. “In my home county, 20 percent of student in schools are categorized as homeless. What we’re talking about here is seniors, families, low-income workers and, yes, we’re talking about kids.” He said HB 4123 will find solutions because it will lead to
The North Bend City Council voted unanimously to approve an ordinance that updates city building codes and gives the city authority to force property owners to repair or demolish dangerous building. Public Works Director Ralph Dunham explained many of the changes were simply to update the building code, but the council did adopt a portion of the International Building Maintenance Code to give it some authority to handle dangerous buildings. “Right now we can actually tell them to tear it down, but we can’t do anything about it,” Dunham told the council. “We kind of looked at the whole code, but we just didn’t think that North Bend was quite ready for complaints against your neighbor for cracked paint or missing caulking, so at this point we’re just looking to adopt the dangerous building section.” Councilor Susanna Noordhoff asked a few questions, before supporting the ordinance. “Would that be used in any type of construction, whether it’s residential, commercial or industrial,” Noordhoff asked. Dunham assured Noordhoff and the council the ordinance would apply to all structures, whether residential or commercial. The new city regulations would give the city the authority to fine property owners if repairs were not made or if the building was not demolished. “It sounds like it will give clear guidance to our building official, so that’s good,” Noordhoff said. The council also voted 6-1 to change council rules to ban the use of alcohol or drugs during public meetings. The change in rules came about after Noordhoff was seen

greater cooperation among local governments. “This bill will give us the tools to work together to address our most pressing problems,” Gomberg said. “This legislation will not only yield immediate relief, it will also collect information of what programs work best. It will require the pilot programs to report to the Legislature so we can use it to make good legislation.” Lincoln County Commissioner Claire Hall also applauded the legislation. “This program will give us a chance to make a meaningful difference in the challenge of homelessness in Lincoln County,” Hall said. “Some people think homelessnesses is only an issue in larger communities. That’s not true.” While the Democrats applauded the package, State Rep. Boomer Wright has announced he supports HB 4123. The package announced Thursday will include three elements - $165 million to combat homelessness, $215

to support existing affordable housing and to build new affordable housing and $20 million to help people get into their first home. Sen. Kayse Jama, chair of the Senate Committee on Housing, lauded the proposal as it was announced. “Too many Oregonians are facing housing instability or homelessness right now,” Jama said. “Our hearts and minds go to those stuck in homelessness and our on the streets in our communities. Oregonians are expecting action on this issue and that’s exactly what’s happening today.” Jama said the legislative leaders had four goals when preparing the package. 1 - Address immediate needs around homelessness; 2 - Building investments to increase supply of affordable housing; 3 - Preventing displacement from homes; and 4 - Ensure funds are spent quickly and efficiently. To reach goal four, much of the funding is going to existing programs that have proven to be successful. For example, Project Turnkey, which provides funding to purchase and rebuild older hotels, will receive $50 million. In Coos County, Operation Rebuild Hope used a Project Turnkey grant to purchase a hotel in North Bend that is currently being rebuilt to provide housing for homeless veterans. House Majority Leader Julie Fahey, chair of the House Committee on Housing, said the goal is to make a difference quickly.

“We know that homelessness and affordable housing are some of the biggest challenges facing our state” Fahey said. “We have heard from Oregonians that they want us to take action. We are making key investments into solutions of homelessness. That includes more funding in programs that actually work. Every Oregonian deserves a safe place to sleep at night. While we are working to increase services and shelter, we also have to address some of the root causes. “This package makes significant investments in affordable housing. These investments will not solve every problem overnight, but Oregonians have real problems right now.” Rep. Paul Evans said spending the money when the state has a surplus is the right thing to do. “The package is a whole is not just about policy. It’s about bringing people and ideas together for a common cause,” Evans said. “I believe this package is consistent with the lessons I learned early in life about faith. Right now, Oregonians are hurting. Though wages are increasing, the net worth of working families are lagging behind. The working poor simply do not have the tools they need. This is an issue of basic human dignity. We are supposed to do everything possible to make sure our neighbors have a safe, secure place to live.” While some elements of the package are stand-alone bills, like HB 4123, most of the funding will be in the budget package that is scheduled to be voted on in the final days of the short session.

The costs have been high—some due to the illness itself—and others due to the impact of the safety measures. But isn’t that the point? The costs have been so deep, and we don’t want to continue paying them. So how do we embrace the transition to what we hope will be a return to a new normal? “Normal” is, of course, redefined, but we’ve redefined the word before.

Absence of Secure Mineral Supply Chain Poses Threat to U.S. Manufacturers By Dan Ervin
InsideSources.com
Now is the time to ask: How important is the mining of minerals and metals in the United States to the advancement of clean energy technologies? As demand for clean energy metals soars, and as global supply chain challenges only grow more pronounced, the answer is exceedingly clear. Building a domestic mineral supply chain is foundational to the energy transition and electric vehicle revolution. Geopolitical considerations are an important dimension of the need for U.S. mobilization in the minerals and metals space. U.S. mineral import reliance is at alarming levels and China is now the dominant producer of half of the more than 30 minerals the U.S. government has deemed critical to our economic and national security. Overreliance on a geopolitical rival for fuel or critical materials is not a place we want to be—just ask the E.U. as it deals with Russian dominance of the European gas market. But even putting aside grave geopolitical considerations, soaring commodity prices, and the threat they pose to clean energy deployment are reasons enough for the U.S. to fully engage in mineral supply chains. Consider what is happening with the metals used for lithium-ion batteries, the enabling technology for EVs. Lithium prices jumped a staggering 437 percent in 2021 and they continue to rise this year. New battery manufacturing capacity is coming online far faster than miners can open new mines and bring production to market. The result is a tear in the lithium market that is showing no signs of slowing down. What’s happening with lithium – while extreme – is precisely what could happen with so many other metals essential to the energy transition. From copper and nickel to rare earth minerals there’s well-founded concern the world is financing far greater demand for these minerals and metals than their supply. New mining projects are not coming online at nearly the volume or speed needed to keep up with the accelerating pivot to green energy. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicted in a landmark study last year that demand for some key metals, like lithium, could grow 40-fold by 2040. The mining industry is woefully ill-suited to keep up with that kind of demand. Mining projects are notoriously complex and time-intensive. While a new
battery mega factory that can crank out batteries for millions of new EVs can be built and begin operation in just two years, the mines needed to supply it take far, far longer. In fact, from inception to completion, major new mining projects in the U.S. take 17 years on average to bring to market. The machines of the green revolution have an acute materials problem and as we’ve seen, supply challenges can upend economies. This past year car dealerships were left empty when chip shortages deeply constrained new car production. The same kind of scenario could be coming for solar panels, wind turbines, and EVs as the materials needed for their production simply don’t materialize at scale. The American manufacturing renaissance the Biden administration envisions led by the auto sector is being built upon a supply chain that for all intents and purposes doesn’t exist. That Made-in-America parade isn’t going to march unless there’s a swift and decisive commitment to mined-in-America. Counting on global materials production to meet demand is a recipe for failure. As the IEA implored, mineral-producing nations must lean into the challenge. And despite our growing import reliance, the U.S. is rich in mineral resources. From lithium to nickel, copper, rare earths, and even cobalt, the U.S. has vast reserves. What we need is the policy commitment to ensure we can produce them and do so quickly. The U.S. has world-leading mining environmental and labor standards, what we must do is ensure we use those standards to encourage responsible production, not block it. The world cannot afford for the U.S. to only be a materials consumer during the energy transition. We must also become a leading producer. Instead of depending on, or hoping for, imports from foreign-trade adversaries like China, we must help produce the materials that are the building blocks for the emissions-free technologies needed to win the climate fight. American manufacturing policy and energy policy should rest on the shoulders of American mining policy. ABOUT THE WRITER Dan Ervin, Ph.D. is a finance professor at Salisbury University.

experienced impaired learning. We now know that seeing full faces are needed to teach speech as well as softer skills like reading people. Substance abuse and other metrics of unwellness are off the charts. Seemingly “small” consequences have been reported, such as people driving way too fast to release anger, which has predictably resulted in more traffic fatalities. I could go on, and so could everyone else. Jumping in the pool just might allow us to begin healing in other areas. Maybe recognizing the unintended costs of adhering to a COVID-safe lifestyle will provide the courage needed to take the plunge. It’s time.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren COSTS QUICKLY ADDING UP FOR WEDDING PARTICIPANT DEAR ABBY: I couldn’t be happier for my friends who are embarking on the next chapter of their lives with their partners, but I’m becoming increasingly anxious about their bachelorette parties. When did the bachelorette party become such a big production? While I have attended my fair share, I think they are getting increasingly extravagant and pricey. I’m trying to prioritize my own next step in life, which is buying a home, and it feels like I’m being “invited” to spend a significant chunk of my savings over the course of a few months. (The weddings themselves will require significant travel.) The bachelorette party I’m most concerned about is for a wedding in which I have been asked to be a bridesmaid. For this reason, I feel obligated to attend. The cost associated with the weekend is $2,500 per person and will total $20,000 for three days. This equals three months of rent for me, and I’m finding it hard to justify this kind of expense. I get anxious thinking about the other expenses -- flights, accommodations, gifts -- and time-off requests from work. My first instinct is to say “No,” but it’s hard to refuse a bride who is so important to me. I want to be supportive and involved during this exciting time for her. How much is too much? What is the proper etiquette for being in the wedding party and attending the bachelorette party? Should I have asked about this before accepting to be in the bridal party? -- ANXIOUS ATTENDANT DEAR ANXIOUS ATTENDANT: Yes, you should have asked the bride before accepting her invitation to join the wedding party. And it is not too late to speak up. Contrary to popular belief,
bachelorette parties and weddings do NOT “go together like a horse and carriage.” TALK with your friend. Explain that all of the costs (travel, outfit and wedding gift) are more than you can afford. If you do, she may tell you it’s enough that you travel to and participate in the wedding. However, if she doesn’t, back out so she can replace you. DEAR ABBY: My husband, who is in his 60s, wears a baseball cap all day, every day, to hide a bald spot on the back of his head. He has worn that same dirty cap for two years and even wears it to work. He wears it in the house and only removes it when he is sleeping. I have suggested he wash it or replace it, but he refuses and he makes a tsk-tsk noise when I tell him I don’t think it’s healthy to wear something filthy on your head for two years. -DISGUSTED IN FLORIDA DEAR DISGUSTED: You are correct; it isn’t healthy. According to the Cleveland Clinic, moderate exposure to sunlight increases vitamin D levels in the body, which is not only beneficial to good health, but it also encourages hair growth. Your husband is doing himself no favors by constantly wearing that (dirty) baseball cap, especially indoors. If he does it because he’s self-conscious about his bald spot, there are products that can minimize it, and effective surgical options if he would be willing to spend the money. ----------------------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Under the proposal, the base tax collections would stay the same, with no increased taxes for the 10 years. “I support it. I think it’s great,” Mayor Joe Benetti said. “I’ve talked to a few developers and they are very interested.” Craddock said several other cities have started exemption programs, pointing out Cottage Grove, Florence and Salem. Craddock said he talked to the city manager in Cottage Grove, which implemented its tax exemption program in 2019. Since then, 120 new multi-family housing units have been developed. Cottage Grove did not implement rent controls. Florence recently started its program and got the rest of the taxing entities to buy in. “Even though they were forgoing taxes for 10 years, they were still getting the taxes that were on the property,” Craddock said. “Then in 10 years, they would get the new taxes and they had housing” Craddock said Florence and Cottage
Grove set up a system where the new housing must be close to public transit. “It’s a little different for us,” Craddock said. “If we used that plan, it would leave Eastside completely out and the majority of south Empire an north Empire out. We have a different environment here. If we were go down this road, I would suggest we look at citywide. If we want to get the biggest bang for the buck, we need to have the biggest area.” Craddock said he is also confident the city can get the other taxing entities to buy in. “If we just do it for us, all we’re really saving is $6.36 per $1,000,” he said. If all the taxes were waived, it would be more than $14 per $1,000 of assessed value. “Some properties may be developed it you don’t have this program,” Craddock said. “But the vast majority that haven’t been already wouldn’t be.” While the entire council said they were interested in learning more, Stephens was concerned if no rent limits were included. Craddock said he will bring back options to the council, including some that have rent control options.
Coos Bay District proposes fee changes at Edson Creek and Sixes River Campgrounds The Bureau of Land Management Coos Bay District is seeking public input on its proposal to increase the fees at Edson Creek and Sixes River Campgrounds. The campgrounds are located between the communities of Bandon and Port Orford on the southern Oregon Coast. The BLM completed a draft business plan that provides details and analysis of the proposal to increase the fees at the two sites. The overnight camping fee for a single campsite at either campground would rise from $8 to $16 under the proposal. The day-use fee would increase from $4 to $6. The fee changes are being proposed to help the agency fund yearly operations and complete facility improvements, such as new campfire ring construction, sign replacement and road resurfacing. The fees have not been updated
in nearly two decades, and rising costs are outpacing the income value from fees. The proposed fees will enable the BLM to improve services to enhance the visitor experience. Through criteria established by the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, the BLM completed an assessment on the number and kind of amenities provided at each site. A study of market values of fees charged for similar recreation facilities in the local area was also used to determine the proposed fee adjustments. The Western Oregon Resource Advisory Council will review and provide recommendations to the agency on the proposed fees and associated business plan at their meeting in April 2022. The FLREA allows the BLM to keep 100% of the fees collected at a recreation site and use the funds locally to operate, maintain and improve fee sites. Fees
are part of a comprehensive funding strategy to support recreation sites and services. The funding strategy also includes appropriated funding, volunteer assistance, grants, and partnerships with local organizations. The draft business plan is available at https://www. blm.gov/programs/recreation/permits-and-fees/ business-plans. The public is invited to send feedback to the Coos Bay District recreation staff at blm_or_ cb_mail@blm.gov. The BLM manages approximately 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The agency’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
$62 million in emergency food allotments for March STAFF REPORT
Qualifying families in Coos and Curry Counties, and across the state struggling to make ends meet will see additional food allotments next month. Most Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will receive emergency allotments in March. The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020. This gives SNAP recipients additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic. In March, approximately 386,000 SNAP households will receive approximately $62 million in extra food benefits in addition to their regular SNAP benefits. “We know that many rely on these additional emergency food benefits to get enough healthy food for themselves and their families,” Oregon Department of Human Services

Bandon girls earn return trip to Pendleton By JOHN GUNTHER For The World
BANDON — The Bandon girls basketball team is headed back to the Class 2A state tournament in Pendleton after beating visiting Western Christian 44-34 in a playoff game Saturday night. The Tigers fought off several challenges from the Pioneers to advance back to the site where they matched their best finish in school history by placing third two years ago. Last summer, the Tigers placed fourth in the Class 2A concluding event following their second straight Sunset Conference title. This time, Bandon needed a big lift from a pair of sisters when Western Christian bottled up the Tigers’ top two scoring threats. Makiah Vierck hit a trio of first-half 3-pointers to help Bandon take the lead and her sister Makenna provided inside rebounding and a second-half scoring spree as the Tigers never let Western Christian catch up. The Pioneers turned their focus to a triangle-and-two zone centered around Bandon’s Olivia Thompson and Katelyn Senn. Photo by John Gunther/For The World

Marshfield girls keep Bandon boys, Coquille and Pacific season alive with playoff win girls fall in playoffs The World
The World The Bandon boys and Coquille and Pacific girls all saw their seasons end with playoff losses on the road. Bandon fell 62-49 at Heppner on Friday, undone by a bad third quarter, while a rough second quarter led to Coquille’s 60-37 loss at Lakeview on Saturday, both South Coast teams denied a trip to the Class 2A state tournament in Pendleton. Pacific fell to Mohawk 43-18 in the first round of the Class 1A playoffs on Wednesday. Bandon trailed Heppner 29-27 at halftime, but the Mustangs surged ahead with one three-minute stretch in the third quarter. “That was the game,” Bandon coach Vince Quattrocchi said. “They went on a run and we couldn’t score.” The Tigers never were able to catch up after that. “It’s a tough place to play (after a) long bus ride,” Quattrocchi said. “They are a well-coached team. Defensively, they made it tough.” Plus Heppner was relentless on the boards. “We just got out-rebounded,” Quattrocchi said. “Usually, we don’t get out-rebounded.” The principal beneficiary of the rebounds, in terms of scoring, was Heppner’s Tucker Ashbeck, who had a game-high 23 points, many coming on put-backs. Kason Cimmiyotti added 13 points for Heppner, which plays Knappa in the quarterfinals Thursday at Pendleton High School. Cooper Lang had 16 points and Hunter Angove nine for Bandon, while Anthony Hennick and Owen Brown added seven each and Andrew Robertson six. Angove, Lang, Hennick and Robertson all are seniors, as is Trevor Angove, Hunter’s twin brother who missed the latter portions of the season with an injury. “I’m proud of this group and especially the seniors,” Quattrocchi said. “We had a 20-win season and that’s not easy to do.” The Tigers were one of three Sunset Conference boys teams to lose in the round of 16 Friday. Gold Beach lost at home to Kennedy 70-45 and Toledo fell at Knappa 62-53.
GIRLS LAKEVIEW 60, COQUILLE 37: The Red Devils started well against the host Honkers, but couldn’t keep up in the face of Lakeview’s pressure in the second quarter, when Coquille was outscored by 19 points. That turned a 12-12 score after the first quarter into a 19-point halftime deficit and the Red Devils never recovered. Coquille finished the season 16-5 overall and earned a share of the Sunset Conference title. Lakeview, which improved to 18-2 with its 16th straight win, faces Central Linn in the quarterfinals on Thursday at Pendleton. MOHAWK 43, PACIFIC 18: The Pirates had a strong season end with their road loss. Pacific, which has a fairly young squad with a only two veteran players a year after not having a team, shared the Skyline League South title with Powers, beat the Cruisers in the seeding game and beat Umpqua Valley Christian in overtime in the thirdplace game of the Skyline League tournament. “I don’t think a lot of people expected us to get this far,” Pacific coach Amanda Carlton said. “We had some awesome games, such as overtime thriller wins against New Hope and UVC, and some games that showed our inexperience. “In all the games, however, the girls never gave up. They showed up and gave it their all. I couldn’t be more proud and I definitely can’t wait until next year.” In Wednesday’s playoff game, Wiley Lang led the Pirates with six points, but Pacific never could get its offense going, with Mohawk slowing the driving efforts of Audrey Griffiths. Carlton said Lang, Griffiths and fellow senior Natalie Flowers led the team with their heart while freshmen Courtney Phillips, and Mikaila Royal and sophomore Jessica Morones all played well. Mohawk was eliminated from the playoffs when it fell to Country Christian 51-16 on Saturday. Yoncalla of the Skyline League fell to Echo 73-47 while league champion North Douglas beat Eddyville 71-24 to advance to the state tournament at Baker.

COOS BAY — Marshfield’s girls basketball team extended its season by using a stifling first-half defensive effort to beat visiting Sweet Home 42-29 in the Class 4A play-in round on Saturday. The Pirates are headed to No. 3 seed Baker in the round of 16 on Saturday, with the winner advancing to the state tournament, which this year is jointly hosted by Marshfield and North Bend. “I thought we played really well considering nobody on this team has ever been in a basketball playoff game,” Marshfield
coach Doug Miles said. “We jumped on them early with really solid defense and attacked the basket all night.” Sweet Home had just two points in the first quarter and four in the second as Marshfield built a 28-6 halftime lead. The Pirates, meanwhile, had seven different players score in the opening half. “We had a lot of kids step up and hit shots tonight,” Miles said. Charlie Dea finished with a game-high 12 points. Tatum Montiel had nine, Paige Macduff seven, Kate Miles six and Ava Ainsworth, Gracie Peach,
Kaleigh England and Hannah Folau two each. Sweet Home outscored the Pirates 23-14 in the second half, but never threatened. Brooke Burke and Adaira Sleutel led the Huskies with 11 points each. Sweet Home finished 10-14 overall, but almost beat No. 2 Cascade in its league finale. It’s the Pirates, who improved to 17-8, moving on with the long road trip to face Baker (185), the champions of the Greater Oregon League. “I’m just really happy for these girls,” Doug Miles said. “They have had great attitudes and worked hard all season.”
MHS boys host playoff game Friday The World Marshfield’s boys basketball team will get a late-night home game as the Pirates try to advance to the Class 4A state tournament and get a shot at winning the crown on their home floor a year after winning the Elite 8 Showcase event following the short season last spring. Marshfield will host Corbett at 8:30 p.m. Friday, after the Class 3A semifinals are concluded at Pirate Palace, hoping to become one of the eight boys and eight girls teams to advance
to the state tournament jointly hosted this year only by Marshfield and North Bend. The Pirates are seeded third after sharing the Sky-Em League title with top seed Junction City and also were ranked No. 1 in the final coaches poll. If Marshfield wins, the Pirates will face the winner of a Friday game between Banks and host La Grande. In the other first-round games, Junction City will host Molalla, Baker visits Gladstone, North Marion is at Philomath, Seaside hosts Woodburn, Stayton is at Henley and Marist
Catholic visits Cascade, the No. 2 seed. The top seed for the girls playoffs is Philomath, which will host Henley on Saturday. Other first-round girls games include Stayton at Mazama, Marist Catholic at Gladstone, Junction City hosting Hidden Valley, Marshfield traveling to Baker, Corbett visiting Banks, Madras hosting Astoria and La Grande traveling to Cascade. The boys quarterfinals will be at North Bend on Thursday, March 10, while the girls quarterfinals will be played at Marshfield.
Velazquez, Vigue win state wrestling championships By JOHN GUNTHER For The World
Two South Coast wrestlers won state titles on Saturday and four others lost in championship matches as six different area schools advanced wrestlers to the final bout. Miguel Velazquez became a two-time state champion, with the titles coming for different schools. The Marshfield senior, who was a state champion for Reedsport as a sophomore, claimed the Class 4A title at 195 pounds at Cascade High School, beating Brody MacMillan of La Grande
9-5 in the final. Velazquez, the top seed, had a first-round bye and then won his quarterfinal and semifinal matches by pin to reach the final. Coquille’s Tommy Vigue, a sophomore, was more dominant while winning the Class 2A-1A title at 220 pounds at Culver High School. Vigue pinned all four of his foes, with three of those pins coming in the first round, including finishing off Adrian’s Toby Clow in 1:37 in the championship match. Two of the runners-up also were at the Class 2A-1A meet. Reedsport’s Aaron Solo-

mon was the runner-up at 132 pounds, falling to Pine Eagle’s Coy Butner 7-2 in the championship match. Meanwhile, Myrtle Point’s Logan Clayburn had a pair of pins to reach the championship match at 195 pounds, but came up short against Toledo’s Ash Blomstrom when he was pinned in the third round North Bend’s Neal Walter had three pins to reach the championship in the 285-pound bout in the Class 5A tournament at Ridgeview High School in Redmond.

What to expect at a veterinary dental cleaning Oral health is as important for companion animals as it is for their owners.

but a pet’s oral cleaning may be an unknown — and that can induce anxiety. Most cleanings follow a similar pattern and recognition of that pattern can give pet owners an idea of what to expect at a veterinary dental cleaning. Anesthesia One of the main differences between a dental cleaning for a person and one for a pet is the use of anesthesia. According to Kulshan Veterinary Hospital, pets do not willingly open their mouths to give veterinary dentists access to perform cleanings. Anesthesia ensures that the animal will remain still and the vet can remove any plaque and tartar that has built up. If a tooth needs to be extracted,

sedation ensures that will go smoothly. Pre-testing Since anesthesia will be used, vets often will run lab work and an EKG to determine if a pet is healthy enough to receive anesthesia. Testing ahead of time also helps the vet make the best decisions regarding which types of anesthetics to administer and in what quantities. Examination and cleaning The vet will conduct a thorough examination of the pet’s mouth.

any microscopic scratches that can snag bacteria and lead to subsequent build-up. At home When the pet is released to go home, it is important for pet owners to keep up with dental cleanings. Do not use toothpaste designed for humans, as there are special animal-safe products for this purpose. Depending on what was done during the cleaning, the vet may prescribe antibiotics and/or pain medications. Dental cleanings are an important component of overall pet care. Consult with a vet to learn more about pet dental cleanings.

New research: Likelihood of extreme autumn fire weather has increased by 40 percent
Courtesy photo from OSU
In developing the new research, scientists focused on conditions like those seen during recent catastrophic fires in Oregon and California.
By STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Article
The likelihood of hot, dry, windy autumn weather that can set the stage for severe fires in California and western Oregon has increased 40% due to human-caused climate change, new computer models show. The study led by Linnia Hawkins, a postdoctoral researcher in the Oregon State University (OSU) College of Forestry, covered 2017 and 2018 and looked at the role climate change may have played in extreme fire weather conditions that accompanied recent large September, October and November fires in those states. The collaboration that included David Rupp of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute examined the weather conditions during big fires driven by strong offshore winds such as California’s Santa Ana and Diablo winds and western Oregon’s East wind. The modeling found that human influences on climate actually reduced the frequency of those winds in the two years studied. But higher temperatures and dryer fuels mean the four study areas were nevertheless much more likely to have extreme autumn fire weather than they would have had without human-caused increases in atmospheric aerosols
and carbon dioxide. “Over the last handful of years, California and western Oregon have experienced their largest and most destructive wildfires ever recorded,” Hawkins said. “The rapid and extensive growth of many of the fires was driven by strong, dry, offshore, downslope autumn winds blowing across fuels that had become very parched over the summer and stayed that way into fall.” For this research, the scientists focused on conditions like those seen during recent catastrophic fires, including Northern California’s Wine Country fires in October 2017, the Camp Fire in November 2018 and the North Complex Glass fires in September 2020; Southern California’s Woolsey Fire in November 2018; and western Oregon’s Lionshead Fire in September 2020. “Anthropogenic climate change has increased the likelihood of extremely hot, dry and windy weather in autumn, but it has not necessarily increased the likelihood of fire, nor did these fires occur because of climate change,” Hawkins said. “But those fires provided archetypes of extreme offshore-wind-driven autumn fire weather for us to study.” To model a climate absent human activity, the scientists set the atmospheric CO2 and aerosol concentrations to mid-

19th century levels. They performed thousands of simulations with present-day CO2 and aerosol concentrations and thousands more simulations with CO2 and aerosol concentrations set to pre-industrial levels. The researchers then compared the likelihood of extreme autumn fire weather conditions – defined as conditions that, absent human influence, would occur once every 20 years – between the two ensembles of simulations. “We found that when CO2 and aerosols from human activity were included, the chance of extreme conditions was 40% higher in those areas of California and Oregon where recent autumn fires have occurred,” Hawkins said. “The jump was mainly because of an increase in temperature and fuel aridity and not an increase in wind speeds. In fact, we found anthropogenic climate change slightly decreased the frequency of strong, dry, offshore winds.” Hawkins emphasizes that the 40% increase in likelihood is the average across the western United States, and that the increase is smaller or larger in specific regions. She also stresses that this study examined extreme fire weather conditions as opposed to average conditions and only in one season of the year. “What our research demonstrates is that anthropogenic climate change has already increased the likelihood of autumn wind-driven extreme fire weather conditions in the West,” she said. “Together with non-climatic factors like biomass accumulation and more and more people living in the wildland urban interface in fire-prone lands, that means overall fire risk is going up. Approaches such as we used here can guide fire risk assessments and fire adaptation efforts.” The National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration supported this research. Findings were published in Geophysical Research Letters. Sihan Li of the University of Oxford and John Abatzoglou of the University of California, Merced, also took part in the study.
