Coos Bay beefs up annexation regulations New By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Coos Bay City Council voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance regulating how properties can be annexed into the city. The vote last week was the end of the process that has taken several months and was meant

to beef up the cities annexation regulations. Community Development Administrator Carolyn Johnson told the council the issue came up during a council work session in December, at which time the city council asked the Planning Commission to consider new annexation regulations.

“They were fairly lean and really didn’t provide a lot of direction or criteria,” Johnson said. The regulations adopted last week change that, requiring much more information from property owners interested in annexing into the city. “If and when folks wanted to annex property into the city, they

would be required to provide adequate information to the city,” Johnson said. “It dovetails nicely with the effort we’re undergoing for a housing needs update.” Johnson explained the housing update usually includes a look at annexation policies, and the city Please see ANNEXATION, Page A2

As prices rise, union protests stagnant wages

Members ask for better pay as company records major profits By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Rising costs due to inflation and other reasons has made it difficult for anyone to make ends meet, especially if wages are stagnant. That is the message members of Local 2784 tried to send to Roseburg Forest Products last week when they held two informational pickets at Roseburg Forest Products’ locations in Coos County. On Thursday, more than 40 union members picketed in Coquille while more than 30 members came out early Saturday morning to send the same message at the RFP chip facility

in North Bend. Mike Napier, who led the pickets, said RFP is making record profits due to high lumber prices and it’s time for the company to take care of its employees. “As far as our wages go at the mil, we used to be three times minimum wage, and minimum wage is catching up to our wages,” Napier said. “Plywood prices and lumber prices have gone through the roof, and they have yet to off the employees any wage increases.” Napier said when he joined RFP years ago, a job in the mill was a dream job in Coos County. He said people would line up Please see PROTEST, Page A2

Spending bill returning millions to South Coast By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The omnibus spending bill recently signed into law by Pres. Joe Biden will deliver tens of millions of dollars to the South Coast, benefitting communities in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties. Many of the projects were spearheaded by Congressman Peter DeFazio and U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, who all voted in favor of the spending bill. The biggest funding element is $6.8 million for repairs to the Coos Bay North Jetty. After years of decline, the jetty has lost close to 200 feet, but a contract has already been approved to extend and stabilize the jetty. “The North Jetty, which maintains the safety of the Coos Bay bar crossing for mariners, has receded nearly 1,000 feet

Joe Biden. from its original build design,” said John Burns, CEO of the Port of Coos Bay. “Senators Merkley and Wyden have championed funding to extend the jetty by approximately 150 to 200 feet and stabilize the head, trunk, and

root system. This is truly critical maritime infrastructure to maintain safety within the harbor, and to promote future commerce and economic development for the region and state. We are extremely grateful to Senators Merkley

sub-variant could cause COVID scare By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

A new variant of COVID-19 is beginning to cause concerns in Europe and China and could soon make its way into the United States. The BA.2 sub-variant of omicron is leading to increased cases in Europe, with Germany and England reporting 250,000 new cases daily due to the stealth sub-variant. Katrinka McReynolds with Coos Health & Wellness reported Thursday that the climbing cases around the globe will eventually make its way into the United States, likely in the next four to six weeks. “As usual, larger populations tend to see it first and Coos County is on the trickle down,” McReynolds said. “It gets to us a little later.” McReynolds reported Coos County had a new COVIDlinked death this week, an 88-year-old woman with underlying conditions. There were 45 new cases reported in the last week, with 112 active cases as of Thursday. Nine people were hospitalized Thursday. But overall, news on the pandemic locally was good as the mask mandate was lifted and cases counts remained low. McReynolds said from firsthand knowledge and what she is hearing, there has been little conflict since the mask mandate was removed. “We have a percentage of students who are still wearing it,” she said. “Just from personal experience being in stores, there’s a percentage who are still wearing them. I was in Safeway and I thought, wow, about half the people are still wearing a mask.” McReynolds said the key message right now is letting people decide individually whether they want to wear a mask or not. “I think that’s the important message at this point - now you can choose,” she said. ‘People who want to continue wearing masks are encouraged to do that. Those who were ready to take the masks off likely did so as soon as they heard the mandate was being lifted.” McReynolds said with the case count dropping and with most tests now being taken at home, Coos Health & Wellness has also changed its policy toward contact tracing and investigating cases. She said the only investigations ongoing now are in congregate care settings such as jails and senior living facilities. The key right now, McReynolds said, is to treat any illness as a serious one. “If you’re feeling sick, please don’t expose other people to it,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s COVID, the flu or a head cold. No one likes feeling sick anyway.” McReynolds said with the new variant possibly coming this way, it is time to stock up on home tests to be ready. “We may see other variants coming out and we may see increased incidences of getting COVID,” she said. “Testing is available at all the chambers of commerce and also at libraries.

Protest From A1

daily hoping to get hired. Today, the company is struggling to find people to work, and Napier said it’s almost solely because wages are no longer fair. “The company is Coquille is short about 50 people,” Napier said. “They can’t find any employees to work for $20 an hour wen they can get $15 or $16 at Walmart or anywhere else.” Napier said Local 2784 had a meeting recently where the members chose to picket to protest the wages. He said the current union agreement was agreed to in 2020 when COVID was just beginning and no one was sure about what was coming. What did come was record lumber prices, and according to Napier, record profits for RFP. After the union meeting, Napier said RFP contacted them, saying they were willing to discuss wages, but not until the end of April.

of North Bend to upgrade the city’s water and wastewater system and $850,000 to Coast Community Health Center, which has offices in Bandon and Port Orford. The gift to Coast Community Health was roundly applauded. “We are honored to receive such a wonderful award in support of our continued expansion of services in Curry County,” said Linda Maxon, chief executive officer, Coast Community Health Center. “These funds will directly support our delivery of health and wellness services to south Curry County. Our investment not only expands health care but brings economic investment and jobs to the

With out of control prices right now, Napier said that was not soon enough. “It costs employees an arm and a leg just to drive to work from Coos Bay and North Bend,” he said. Luke Villers, who works at the chip site in North Bend, joined the protest Saturday. He said it is time for RFP to share its profits with employees who are suffering. “Admittedly, they are as financially stable as they’ve ever been,” Villers said. “My mom got COVID and they made me burn my sick time to be with her. We’re losing people to all kinds of employees. It’s making this hard.” Local 2784 represents members who work in Coquille and North Bend. As they picketed Saturday, members of the Longshoremen union stopped to show support when the picket started. “We had to clarify with the Longshoremen this was a picket, not a strike,” Villers said. “If it was a strike, they would have stopped.” Local 2784 Union President Sid Walter said

as lumber companies have struggled in recent years, the union workers consistently offered concessions to benefit the company. Now that things have turned the other way, it’s time for RFP to do the same, he said. “We’ve given up concessions year after year, contract after contract,” Walter said. “It’s not necessarily the company’s fault. The economy’s been very shaky.” Walter said with wages rising across the region, stagnant wages and limited benefits have hurt RFP. “We’ve seen 100 employees leave in just the past 12 months for more lucrative positions,” he said. “They’ve had 10 months to meet with us.” Local 2784 represents more than 300 employees who work for RFP. The vast majority are hurting, Walter said. “Inflation is just hammering us right now,” he said. Walter said the concessions the union has agreed to is not just wages, but the union also agreed to freeze retirement packages, with the company current-

region. We are grateful for our State and Federal Legislators continued trust in our ability to deliver on our commitment to the communities we serve.” State Rep. David Brock Smith also applauded the investment into the health care system. “I’ve had the privilege to work with Coast Community Health since its conception and have long been an advocate to expand access to healthcare services that are desperately needed on the South Coast,” said Brock Smith. “I’m grateful to Senators Merkley and Wyden for their incredible advocacy for this funding to expand vital healthcare services to our residents through a dedicated partner with Coast Community Health.” Another popular investment in the spending bill is $1.8 million to repair and modernize the Cole Rivers

Hatchery, which will benefit the salmon fishery along the South Coast. “In this day, it seems we’re losing much of our Oregon natural resources. Our strong Southcoast Salmon and Trout Recovery quest looms larger than ever,” said Court Boice, Curry County commissioner. “Senator Merkley and his staff have worked very hard and understand how critical these paths are. The Cole Rivers Hatchery repair and modernization project will vault us into the next important steps of enhancing and protecting our anadromous fish runs. This is a very good day for our three Rogue River Basin, Curry, Josephine, and Jackson counties.” “I applaud Senators Wyden and Merkley for improvements to the Cole Rivers Hatchery,” said Coos County Commissioner Bob Main. “These

This work will inform management and conservation activities, and

the development of a kelp forest restoration plan for Oregon.” said Tom Calvanese, coordinator for the Oregon Kelp Alliance. The Oregon Kelp Forest Survey and Kelp Forest Restoration Plan will allow coastal communities to work with scientists on aerial drone and underwater surveys of kelp forests in Oregon, while building local capacity for kelp forest stewardship. These efforts will be guided by the ORKA Science and Technical Advisory Committee, chaired by Sara Hamilton, postdoctoral researcher at the UC Davis Bodega Marine Lab. Hamilton is a recent graduate of Oregon

State University, where she earned her PhD in integrative biology studying kelp forest ecology and has been a science advisor to the Oregon Kelp Alliance. “These important habitats have undergone significant changes in recent years due to warming oceans, loss of predators, and population booms of purple sea urchins, which eat kelp,” said Calvanese. “ORKA appreciates Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden’s long-standing and strong advocacy for healthy kelp forests, and their contribution to the commercial fisheries and biodiversity of Oregon’s nearshore oceans.”

Annexation

“It’s expanded fairly substantially,” she said. “It’s fairly comprehensive, and I think it will get the job done.” Under the new rules, annexation can begin in one

of two ways - either a vote of the city council or by a request from a property owner. If a group of property owners want to annex, it can be done by getting all the property owners to agree or by having a citywide vote to consider the issue. Annexation can be done by majority vote o council or by request of property owner “There are ways they can be annexed in without a vote, but it’s really smaller areas,” City Manager Rodger Craddock said. “If it’s bigger areas, they will need a vote. It really comes in different ways.” During the public hearing, no members of the public spoke about the issue and it was adopted by the council.

Letters to the Editor Lions Club hosting spaghetti dinner The Langlois Lions Club is hosting a benefit take-out only spaghetti feed and dessert sale on Saturday, April 9, from 4- 7 p.m. at the Lions Club house, 48136 Floras Lake Loop. This event will feature a serving of spaghetti, cole slaw and garlic bread for a suggested donation of $7. In addition, an assortment of desserts will be available and are to be priced separately. Please note: There is no seating in the club for dining in. This spaghetti feed fundraiser will be our first in two years with proceeds dedicated to both our Pacific High School scholarship fund and to our general charitable programs. In the past, community members have always been so supportive of all of our fund raising efforts. We hope this neighborly effort continues despite the change in format for this year. Donations of one’s favorite dessert may be dropped off at the Lions Club on April 9 before 3 p.m. Thank you in advance for all your help in making this event a success. For any questions, please contact Sandie at 541-655-0554 Deanna McDermott Secretary Langlois Lions Club Time is up Douglas County Commissioners Boice and Freeman are termed out. That’s exactly what Douglas County voters loudly said in 2014 when 70% voted for term limits. However, it didn’t take our incumbent Douglas County Commissioners long to overturn the will of the voters in their quest to remain in power forever. Commissioner Susan Morgan, supported by Boice and Freeman, sued Douglas County in 2015 and found a friendly judge to overturn Douglas County’s term limits in 2016. At the time, Commissioner Boice likened the Douglas County voters’ approval of term limits to merely, “people who circulated a petition to violate your Second Amendment rights.” Those “people” were 70% of Douglas County voters who voted in a free and fair election, not a handful of signers on a petition. While county commissioner term limits were overturned in Douglas County, there are other places in Oregon where term limits still exist. Yamhill County is one such place. County commissioner term limits have existed in Yamhill County since being approved by voters in 1996 and continue to exist today. Voters

there still expect their county commissioners to honor the will of the voters. Who do Commissioners Boice and Freeman think they are? They certainly aren’t public servants. If they were, they would respect and honor the best interests and will of Douglas County voters, regardless of the decision by their friendly judge. Instead, Boice and Freeman act like royalty, destined to remain commissioners forever, to endlessly rule over the same voters who told them their time was up. Michael Ruehle Roseburg Homeless options in North Bend I am a student at North Bend High School, and I’m working on my English final. Out of my few options, writing a letter to the news about a timely topic seemed to be the easiest option, so I decided to write about the homeless camping situation here in North Bend. In most places, homeless people unfortunately have the stigma of being unsafe or drug users [I don’t mean to cause any harm with these words, it’s just the general assumption], so what people think when they hear that their town/city wants to designate an area for them, everyone would most likely want that place to be a more out of the way place; a place away from children and general housing. The options are: community center, city park, new land, specific streets or the airport’s industrial park. The ones that stand out to me are either new land, or the airport park because the other options will be areas where there will often be people and children. New land cons are that it could take quite a while to acquire, plus it’s new land that would need to be prepared and there’s upkeep. The pros are that it would most likely be quite out of the way so no reason for anyone to be bothered or worried. I don’t really know much about the airport parks, but from what I understand they are giant empty buildings that are usually used, so the cons that come to mind are that they may need to be used and if they are close to general housing that could be an issue but I’m not too sure where they are. I think these thoughts should be taken into consideration when preparing to go forth with this plan for homeless camping. Will North Bend student

Remember farmers and ranchers on National Ag Day By Anne Marie Moss

Communications director Oregon Farm Bureau

In recognition of National Ag Day, March 22, the Oregon Farm Bureau invites readers to remember the importance of farmers and ranchers to their daily lives. Because of the productivity, efficiency, and reliability of agriculture producers, many of us don’t have to give a second thought to where our food comes from. As long as the grocery store shelves are stocked, the origin of food is the furthest thing from our minds. So, who are Oregon’s farmers and ranchers? There are 67,595 farmers and ranchers in Oregon, according to the latest U.S. Census of Agriculture. Their average age is 57.9 years and 44% are women. Despite representing less than 2% of the state population, these families contribute enormously to Oregon’s economy, landscape, and quality of life. While inflation has driven up the cost of food, Oregon’s farmers and ranchers are not getting richer. After accounting for input costs, ag producers receive an average of only 8 cents out of every dollar spent on food at home and away from home. The rest goes for costs beyond the farm gate: wages and materials for production, processing, marketing, transportation, and distribution. As “price-takers, not price-makers,” most farmers and ranchers also have no control of the price they get for their products. A farmer is not like a shoe retailer who can simply increase a price tag in a store to offset increased supply costs. These are businesses that sell their goods through domestic or international commodity markets,

which determine the product’s price. Some farmers don’t know until months after delivery what they’ll get for their harvest. Another factor that distinguishes agriculture from other industries is the fact that 97% of Oregon farms and ranches are family owned and operated. What other sector can boast that level of family ownership? The Oregon Century Farm & Ranch Program has recognized 1,247 farms as remaining operational and in the same family for at least 100 years, and it has bestowed 47 farms with a Sesquicentennial award for reaching the 150-year mark. Few jobs involve wearing so many hats. Besides tending to their crops and animals, farmers and ranchers are businessowners, marketers, agronomists, climate scientists, mechanics, breeding specialists, pest experts, purchasing officers, market forecasters, water administrators, accountants, human resources leads, risk analysts, and 24/7/365 optimists at the same time. Most farmers can’t afford to hire consultants to do these things for them; they simply figure them out and do it themselves. Farmers are also innovators. For a sector that’s based on the most basic of components – soil, water, sunlight – farmers and ranchers are frequently early adaptors to technology. They’re continually looking to produce more with less: less water, less fertilizer, fewer pesticides, less fuel. This means using drones to check field health, smartphone-controlled irrigation systems, GPS-driven tractors, or sophisticated sprayers that control chemicals down to the droplet. And whether a farm is organic, conventional, biotech, no-tech, or a combination thereof, ag

producers have more that unites them than divides them. One commonality is an unshakeable respect for, and love of, the land. When your livelihood directly depends upon healthy soil and ample water, you do what it takes to preserve it. To squander natural resources or harm the environment would make no sense, especially when you live where you work. It also would be against the law. Another binding trait is immense pride in their product. While there are innumerable state and federal laws that ensure food safety, no one cares more about the quality of the end product than does the family who raised it. This goes for nonedible crops, too, like nursery products, hay, grass seed, and Christmas trees. The unparalleled commitment to quality has elevated the international status of Oregon agriculture, and consumers around the world seek out Oregon-grown blueberries, wheat, and grassstraw. A third shared value is love of the lifestyle. Talk with farmers and ranchers about what they like most about their jobs and you’ll hear “being your own boss,” “being outdoors,” “growing something from nothing,” and “every day is different.” This year March 22 is National Ag Day, but we at Oregon Farm Bureau urge you to remember and thank farmers and ranchers all year long.

A Word, Please: Unusual word forms can confuse By June Casagrande “Scientists have unearthed startling revelations about our Homo sapien forebears,” CNN reported in December. But is that true? I’d argue no because we don’t have Homo sapien forebears. In fact, there’s no such thing as a Homo sapien. It’s Homo sapiens. So why did CNN use “Homo sapien” instead of “Homo sapiens”? Probably because it sounded right. And though about 99% of the time your ear is your best guide to good grammar, odd words and unusual forms are exceptions. This is one such exception. “Homo sapien forebears” sounds better than “Homo sapiens forebears” for the same reason it sounds wrong to say you bought your loafers in a “shoes store” or you took your dog to the “pets hospital.” We know instinctively that “shoe store” and “pet hospital” are the preferred forms. The more you think about this, the less sense it makes. There is no store that sells one shoe. They all sell multiple shoes. You’d be hard-pressed to find a veterinary

hospital that serves just one pet. They all have multiple patients. So why do we use singular “shoe” when it comes in front of “store” and singular “pet” when it comes in front of “hospital”? And how is it even possible that “shoe” and “pet” can modify nouns since that’s the job of an adjective and “shoe” and “pet” are clearly not adjectives? These are the odd properties of attributive nouns. In grammar, a word that comes before another to describe it is called “attributive.” This usually means adjectives. In “the gray cat,” the word “gray” is an attributive adjective. But nouns can do the same job. For example, in “the cat toy,” “cat” is modifying a noun that comes after it, so it’s functioning attributively, making it an attributive noun. Coffee break. Shrimp toast. Wedding day. There are lots of examples of attributive nouns acting like adjectives in front of other nouns. Grammarians point out that we do this because we have no choice — or at least, none of the choices offered by other lan-

guages. Latin, for example, had a formula for turning a noun into an attributive modifier: You tack on a suffix like “-alis” or “-anus.” English doesn’t have a formula for this. So we cut out the middleman and just use the unaltered noun as an adjective. But then we do something even stranger: If the noun is plural, we usually make it singular. Hence “knife drawer,” “auto mechanic,” “tree surgeon,” “supply closet” and on and on. None of my reference books explains why we do this or how it came about. They just make note of it. “It seems that the norm has been to have singular nouns used as attributives — ‘billiards,’ for instance, even lost its -s to give us ‘billiard ball,’” notes Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage. There have always been exceptions — scissors grinder, physics laboratory, Civil Liberties Union, and mathematics book are among Merriam’s examples. But recent decades have seen a trend toward more plural nouns used attributively: weapons systems, communications

technology, operations program, systems analyst, singles bar, enemies list. “The plural form seems to be chosen to differentiate the meaning of the combination with the plural from whatever the singular attributive might connote,” Merriam writes. This is especially evident in “a singles bar,” which would be less clear if you called it “a single bar.” Because so many attributive nouns take the singular form even when the meaning is plural, it sounds natural to drop the s: dog groomer, pizza parlor, drug dealer. That’s why “sapiens” sounds wrong in “Homo sapiens forebears.” But unlike “dogs,” “pizzas” and “drugs,” Homo sapiens isn’t plural. It’s singular. So if you drop the final s from sapiens, you’re not turning a plural into a singular like you do for so many other attributive nouns. Instead, you’re just misspelling a word. — June Casagrande is the author of “The Joy of Syntax: A Simple Guide to All the Grammar You Know You Should Know.” She can be reached at JuneTCN@ aol.com.

Faith helped Loyd wade through pandemic Registered nurse Jenny Loyd, 41, thinks back to when the coronavirus started spreading around the country. Beds were full, policies and protocols were constantly changing and each day brought its own uncertainties to the Coos Bay hospital where she works. Many medical workers like Loyd are feeling burnout from working through the pandemic. With variants straining short-staffed facilities across the country, some in health care are experiencing added physical, mental and emotional stress. “There’s definitely days that I come home from work and I am completely exhausted,” said Loyd. “I have nothing left to give anybody.” What helped Loyd fight discouragement in the early phases of the pandemic continues to give her strength to keep going. She credits her faith as one

The World

of Jehovah’s Witnesses for helping her and other health care workers in her religious community endure the ongoing toll of the pandemic. “Because of my faith I’m able to cope with the hard times,” Loyd said. She related that focusing on what she reads in the Bible helps her get through tough shifts. American psychological and psychiatric associations, while not advocating or endorsing any specific religion, acknowledge the role spirituality and religious faith can play in coping with distress and trauma. Lawrence Onoda, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in Mission Hills, California, noted some ways spirituality can help, including giving people “a positive hope and meaning toward life, comfort by looking for answers and strength from a higher power, and a collective shared experience of support and

community.” Loyd finds joy in passing along to others what has helped her. She joins friends online to write or call people in the community with a message of hope from the Scriptures. “I always just really try to keep my letters positive,” she said. “There’s so much comfort to be found in the Bible.” One favorite resource for Loyd is jw.org, the official website of Jehovah’s Witnesses, with its collection of practical articles like “How to Beat Pandemic Fatigue” and short comforting videos such as “The Resurrection – Soon a Reality.” A recent article on the website helped Loyd recognize the importance of controlling her attitude when facing difficult times. S he said, “Working to maintain a positive outlook can really make the difference on how we get through these problems.”

The loss of the game eliminates North Bend from any further part in the state tournament for the championship.

50 YEARS — 1972 New classes offered to North Bend HS Fourteen new classes were added to choices offered North Bend High School students Monday night following adoption of a 1972-73 curriculum code. The action was taken by the School District 13 board of directors at the regular March meeting. The new classes include a required one semester health course and 13 elective classes. The addition brings the total number of class choices to 142 which board chairman Sterling Platt said “is amazing for a school our size” (723 students). He added, “I think we’re very fortunate to be able to do so well on curriculum.” The new classes include photography, marine biology, ceramics, merchandising, leathercraft, power mechanics, journalism, physical education, industrial mechanics, food services, construction, electricity and some new home economics electives.

CB first graders writing books for school library Children in Barbara Howard’s first grade class at Blossom Gulch Elementary School in Coos Bay are writing and illustrating books they can’t read. What the children do is dictate sentences for the book, each student offering a storyline and illustrating his or her own page. Once the book is compiled, it is laminated, stapled and put on the school library shelves for circulation. School librarian Katherine Grooms says the “student books,” as she calls them, are checked out regularly. “I suppose they (the stu-

dents) get the most out of the books by knowing they are theirs and they can be proud of their work,” says Mrs. Howard. But the books serve another purpose. “By telling me what to write in their book,” says the teacher, the children gain an opportunity to tell a story of their own. By drawing their own illustrations, students are able to interpret the storylines through art. “Also, the children become familiar with the use of words and word parts as they relate to sentences,” Mrs. Howard notes.

Fulton County stadium was torn down after the 1996 Summer Olympics as the Braves moved into a new stadium. But the seats were saved and they’re on the way to North Bend. “This makes a tough place to play a little more classier,” said North Bend baseball coach Brad Horning. “You kind of rate teams by how good their ballpark looks.”

SWOCC comes up short of NWAC tourney The World The Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s basketball team finished a little short of a spot in the NWAC tournament, but coach Riley Grandinetti considered the season a success. “We definitely didn’t finish the

way we all wanted it to end, but this team fought every day,” he said. “I’m proud to have coached these young men.” The Lakers finished 7-9 in the South Region and 14-15 overall in Grandinetti’s first full season as head coach. “I can’t wait to keep building here at SWOCC,” he said. The Lakers were in position

for a possible tournament berth late in the season, but came up short in their final two games, 67-60 at Lane and 91-83 at Portland. Clackamas grabbed the final tournament spot with a 9-7 league record and the Lakers tied for fifth with Portland behind league-leading Lane (14-2), Umpqua (13-3), Mount Hood

(11-5) and Clackamas. SWOCC came close to a number of wins against those teams. The Lakers beat Mount Hood in their meeting in Coos Bay and beat Clackamas on the road. They led Lane until the final second in a one-point loss at home and took Umpqua to overtime before losing at home. Kareem Rowe as named to

the South Region first team and Onwaja Thomas was named to the all-defensive team for the region after leading the league in blocked shots. Lane coach Matt Zosel, a Marshfield graduate, was named coach of the year for the region. SWOCC’s women lost their final 10 games and finished 2-14 in league play.

“Lack of preparedness is often the common denominator.” Scott Lucas, State Search and Rescue Coordinator STAFF REPORT

Springtime in Oregon offers beautiful scenery to explore, but the Office of Emergency Manage-

ment (OEM) cautions it can also be dangerous. Camping, hiking, boating and other recreation adventures can result in Search and Rescue (SAR) operations to find and assist those who have become lost or injured. OEM encourages spring breakers and outdoor enthusiasts to “Know Before You Go” to keep themselves and their loved ones safe with advanced planning and preparation.

Marine law enforcement conducts a swift water practice mission near Willamette Falls. “On average, more than 1,000 SAR missions are conducted each year in Oregon, and over the last decade, 99% of people needing SAR assistance lived outside the county where they were rescued,” State Search and Rescue Coordinator Scott Lucas said. “Lack of preparedness is often the common denominator. People should know their physical limits and plan for activities that won’t exceed their experience to avoid becoming a

DEAR ABBYBy Abigail Van Buren BEAU SHOWS NO DESIRE TO GROW RELATIONSHIP DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Brent” for four years. Prior to meeting him, I was divorced with two children. Brent shows little interest in my kids’ lives. He doesn’t want us to live together before the kids are out of the house, and he never plans to get married. (My youngest is 10.) Even if he would agree to move in now, I don’t want to move to his city because my kids need to be close to their school, their friends and their father. Brent doesn’t want to relocate because it’s heavily populated and he thinks my town is geared more toward a younger generation. I really would like to take our relationship to the next level. I have been trying to do it for four years, but he ignores my subtle hints. I can’t imagine life without him. I have even considered getting pregnant to make this relationship go further, in spite of knowing he doesn’t want a baby. Advice? -- GETTING DESPERATE IN THE HEARTLAND DEAR GETTING DESPERATE: You have wasted four years of your life on the wrong man. Brent is centered on himself and would be a negative, disruptive influence in your children’s lives. Your first responsibility must be to them. If they were miserable, you would be too. Trust me on that. As to the idea of “trapping” him by becoming pregnant in spite of the fact that he doesn’t want to be a father -- I DON’T RECOMMEND IT! You could get a rude awakening and end up parenting a child you didn’t really want all by yourself. So start imagining a life without him. It will be a happier one that way. DEAR ABBY: I have a co-worker I enjoyed talking to and being around. I’m 27, and she is 41. We used to sit

together at lunch and during our break. All of a sudden, she stopped sitting with me during the first break but she still ate with me at lunch. Then she stopped eating with me at lunch! I asked her if I said or did anything wrong and she said no. I asked her if she was avoiding me or had found something wrong, and she insisted there was nothing wrong and I worry too much. So now I sit alone and she sits somewhere else by herself with her phone. I was nice to her. We talked about our day and sometimes shared snacks during the break. All that is gone now. I know people grow apart, but it stings. Being an adult means moving on, but when something happens for no apparent reason, there has to be an explanation. Can you share your insight on this dilemma? -LUNCHING ALONE DEAR LUNCHING ALONE: There is always a reason. Perhaps you should believe your co-worker when she says you didn’t do or say anything wrong. What may have changed are her circumstances. You mentioned that rather than sit with you, she now sits alone with her cellphone. It’s possible that something is going on with her family -- or her personal life that requires her attention. I know it stings, but you have to let it go. Find someone else to socialize with during breaks. It would be less painful if she explained it to you, but your co-worker may be a private person. ----------------------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Recent COVID-19 restrictions and wildfire damage have led people to explore unfamiliar terrain when recreating. We encourage people to be prepared for their next adventure so they can minimize their impact on the communities they visit.” Spring sunshine sends many travelers to Oregon’s beaches, lakes and rivers where the water is still cold — usually around 50 degrees. Anyone near the water should always wear a life jacket; check the Oregon State Marine Board (OSMB)’s map of life jacket loaner stations to borrow for the day if you don’t have your own. Life jackets greatly reduce the risk of drowning due to cold water shock. “Boating on Oregon’s waterways is thrilling and fun, but it also takes skill and know-how because conditions can change quickly,” OSMB Public Information Officer Ashley Massey. “Being prepared with the right equipment and checking for any reported obstructions will go a long way to making sure you have a safe and enjoyable experience.” Oregon’s SAR program supports the broad spectrum of search and rescue operations throughout the state, including coordinating activities of state and federal agencies involved in search and rescue and providing on-scene search and rescue efforts when requested. There is no charge for SAR calls. In case of emergencies, dial 9-1-1; most Oregon counties also accept texts to 9-1-1.

Check-in requirements for bear, cougar, salvaged roadkilled deer and elk resume A temporary rule that waived in-person check in requirements for certain wildlife species during the pandemic expired March 18. Beginning March 19, anyone who salvages a roadkilled deer or elk or harvests a bear or cougar during hunting season will be required to call their nearest ODFW district office and make an appointment to check in their animal per the usual regulations. (ODFW and all state offices remain closed to in-person visitors and are not scheduled to open until at least May 1, so check-in appointments must be arranged prior to showing up at an office.)

For the roadkill salvage rules for deer and elk, see this webpage https://myodfw. com/articles/roadkill-salvage-permits Note that antlers and head of all salvaged animals need to be surrendered to an ODFW office within 5 business days of taking possession of the carcass. Call ahead to your nearest office to make an appointment. Tissue samples from the head of roadkilled deer and elk are tested as part of Oregon’s Chronic Wasting Disease monitoring efforts. This disease has not been detected in Oregon yet but was found within 30 miles of the Snake River in Idaho last year. Early detection could

help limit spread of the disease. For many years, successful bear and cougar hunters have been required to check in certain parts of their animal within 10 days of harvest. For cougars, hunters are required to check in the hide with skull and proof of sex attached and if the cougar was a female, the reproductive tract (how-to). Bear hunters are required to check in the skull only (though the reproductive tract is requested too; see how-to in Big Game Regs). Again, an appointment is required; please see the list of field offices and call your nearest office to make an appointment https://myodfw.com/contact-us

Skulls must be unfrozen when presented for check-in and hunters should prop open the mouth to improve access to the teeth. Inserting a stick or dowel between the molars prior to freezing/ drying out will help keep the jaw open. During check-in, ODFW takes a tooth which is used to determine age of the animal. This information goes into population modelling efforts for the state’s cougar and bear populations. Hunters should be ready to present their license and tag and report the unit where their cougar or bear was harvested during check-in.

Mako is super lovable, friendly, loves to play with his stuffed toys, and is very active for an older dog. He apparently doesn’t want to live with other dogs, though he has lived with cats a long time ago. He does great for baths and great on walks! He is super sweet and very loyal.

Eddie is shy and would do well in a quiet home with not a lot of sudden movement or loud noises. He is not a lap cat but he loves living indoors. If you want a cat that isn’t in your face, this is your guy. Eddie enjoys fishing, crabbing and living on the coast. He is our Tom Selleck of the Cat House, (with all his handsome smoothness).

What to Know About Cat Reproduction Pet owners must take many things into consideration in their quest to keep animals healthy and happy. One of those considerations involves animal reproductive health. Veterinarians as well as animal welfare organizations urge pet owners to spay or neuter their pets, not only to provide various health benefits, but to help reduce overpopulation in pet communities. Cat pet parents must be especially diligent in their quest to squelch reproduction to help control cat populations. According to The Spruce: Pets, female cats that are not spayed will come into estrus (heat) as early as age four months. The animal health resource BondVet says a cat can go into heat as often

Kohls Cat House

The cat house is open for adoptions on site from 8am to 10am and 3pm to 4pm. Call if you need a different time slot. They can also be seen on Kohl’s Kitty Kare Facebook page and kohlscats.info/about-us/ Patience will be required as they settle in and get used to new surroundings before cozying up to their new human companion. Only time will tell if they will fit into their new situation when they are adopted. It really is no different for human kids.

Patience goes such a long way to benefit all involved.

as every two to three weeks. Generally, though, cats are seasonal breeders, indicates the United Kingdom-based RSPCA, which means heat cycles slow down in autumn. Another thing to note is that cats do not enter menopause like people and other animals. That means a female cat can continue to reproduce well into her senior years. Cats can become pregnant even during the first estrus cycle. A feline’s pregnancy lasts around 63 to 65 days, or about nine weeks. A cat also can be impregnated again very quickly after giving birth. Even while she is nursing her kittens, subsequent pregnancies are not prevented. The average litter size mfor cats is about three to six kittens, so it is very easy to see just how many of them can be born from one mother if she’s left to her own reproductive devices. Females also can be mated by

more than one male or even one of their male relatives. While there is still some debate among veterinarians as to the best age at which to spay or neuter cats, the general consensus seems to be the earlier the better, particularly if cats have access to other cats that are not fixed. This can occur as early as age six to eight weeks, while standard spays and neuters occur at five to six months of age. Vets who advocate for spaying before the first heat say it nearly eliminates the risk of mammary cancer, and spayed cats will not develop ovarian and uterine cancers, according to PetMD. Physiologically and behaviorally, cats are built to reproduce as frequently as possible. Pet owners must put a stop to that to protect against overpopulation and to reduce unwanted behaviors like inappropriate marking, aggression and other issues.

Marshfield, North Bend to face off in Battle of the Books Students from Oregon Battle of the Books middle and high school teams in Coos Bay and North Bend will compete in a book trivia battle at the Coos Bay Public Library on Wednesday, March 30, at 4 p.m. North Bend Mayor Jessica Engelke and Coos Bay Mayor Joe Benetti will be on hand to MC the event. The event is open to the public and will be held in different locations within the library. The Oregon Battle of the Books is a statewide voluntary reading motivation and comprehension program sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries in conjunction with a Library Services and Technology Act grant. OBOB’s mission is to encourage and recognize students who enjoy reading, to broaden reading interests, to increase reading comprehension, promote academic excellence, and to promote

cooperative learning and teamwork among students. Both Coos Bay and North Bend have programs at both middle school and high school. The Marshfield programs are coordinated by Catherine Hampton and Anita Jackson. The North Bend High School team is coached by Laurie Nordahl and Ali Lancaster while the North Bend Middle School team is coached by Sarah Helland. Throughout the school year, students read books and, with their

teams practice answering questions based on the books. The competition between the two libraries is an ongoing rivalry that dates back several years. For information regarding OBOB, contact Catherine Hampton, OBOB coordinator at 541-267-1432. For information regarding current services being offered by the Coos Bay Public Library, contact the library by calling (541) 269-1101 or by visiting online at http:// coosbaylibrary.org.

STAFF REPORT The Oregon Air National Guard’s 142nd Wing will conduct routine F-15 Eagle night training missions March 15 through March 17. Night training allows the citizen-airmen pilots assigned to the Portland Air National Guard Base to stay current with mandatory Air Force requirements, according to a release from the Oregon National Air Guard. “Night flying is an essential training requirement for nighttime competency maneuvers,” the release states. According to the Oregon National Air Guard, the

training flights will be completed each night before 10 p.m. The Portland Air National Guard Base employs approximately 1,500 airmen who provide an economic impact of nearly $500 million to the region, according to the release. “The 142nd Wing defends our homeland with F-15 Eagle fighter jets, guarding the Pacific Northwest skies from Northern California to the Canadian border, as part of Air Combat Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD),” the release states.

She grew up in Riverdale, one of the southern suburbs of Chicago and attended Thornton Township High School. Nancy earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts at Illinois Wesleyan University and a Master’s Degree in Art History from Pennsylvania State University.

Nancy was a key person in establishing the Coastline automated system that revolutionized countywide library service, and provided a shared digital catalog used by Coos County public libraries, Southwestern Oregon Community College library and the Myrtle Point High School library. She also had a sense of humor. During the migration from card to online catalog, she kept a life size blowup figure of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream” by her desk. Library staff loved to mimic it when things seemed impossible. Nancy was the former president of and a longtime volunteer for the Oregon Coast Music Association. After she retired from the library she volunteered for a time at the Coos County Animal Shelter, and then at Coos History Museum & Maritime Collection. Nancy enjoyed music,

travel, literature, history, creating art and feeding birds in the yard. The entire time Nancy lived in Coos Bay she kept and adored rescue cats in her home. Nancy is survived by her spouse, Frank Price; sister-in-law, Debby Boles of Fairhope, AL; nieces, Sarah Henseler of Ypsilanti, MI, Kathy Leavitt of Brookline, NH, Rebecca Waterman of Eugene, OR; and her nephew, Chris Waterman of Alameda, CA; as well as two cats, Gracie Mae and Merrimac.

Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia - ARE YOU AT RISK?

According to a new study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the National Institute on Aging, men and women with hearing loss are much more likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. People with severe hearing loss, the study reports, were 5 times more likely to develop dementia than those with normal hearing.

“Hearing loss, left untreated can lead to serious problems such as loneliness and isolation.”
