Webber sentenced to two life sentences for murder By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

A Bandon woman who admitted to killing her two housemates in 2020 will spend at least the next 35 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of second degree murder. Ashley Margaret Webber was sentenced by Judge Martin Stone to two life sentences on March 31, and she will not be eligible for parole for 35 years.

Webber plead guilty earlier this year to intentionally causing the death of Michael Lambert and Jasmine Moon-Painter on April 11, 2020. According to a previous story in The World, Lambert and Moon-Painter lived in a residence on the outskirts of Bandon with Webber in 2020. On April 11, Lambert called 9-1-1 and reported he had been shot and stabbed. When emergency responders arrived, they found Lambert with a gunshot wound

to his neck and several stab wounds to his back and neck. An autopsy revealed Lambert died due to the stab wounds. While at the residence, police found the body of Moon-Painter. She died as a result of multiple gunshot wounds. Webber was arrested the same day and has been in the Coos County Jail since. District Attorney R. Paul Frasier said she would be transported to the Coffee Creek Correctional Institute in Wilsonville in the near future.

Students use pizza to help Ukrainian refugees

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

When students in the North Bend High School culinary arts program wanted to help Ukrainians suffering due to war with Russia, Chef Frank Murphy knew what they could do wood-fired pizzas. After two years of being locked down due to COVID-19, the timing was perfect for the culinary students to do what they are known for - making pizzas. And this time, they were helping the millions of Ukrainians

forced to flee from their country due to the war. On Saturday, for the first time in two years, the culinary students set up their tents, grill and other equipment with the hopes of raising money for World Central Kitchen. Volunteers with World Central Kitchen are currently feeding Ukrainian refugees, providing more than 3 million meals to those who have fled their homes. While the students were excited about making pizzas again, what they never expected was

the turnout by the community. As students set up, more than a hundred people lined up to get a pizza. And every penny was donated to World Central Kitchen. "This is an organization, if we ever have a problem here, we want them to come here and feed people," Murphy said. As the students rushed to take orders, make pizzas, cook them, box them and hand them out, Murphy watched closely but let the students do most of the work. He said he was happy just to have the students cooking for others again.

"The pandemic messed things up," Murphy said. "Usually the seniors train the juniors, who train the sophomores, who train the freshmen. Now, we're all training. We've even had some past students who showed up to help." Murphy said more than 40 students signed up to participate in the event, some who weren't even in the culinary arts programs. "You never say now," Murphy said. "If a kid wants to come, they don't have to be in culinary." With the goal of raising money, Murphy said the community

really stepped up. In addition to more than 100 people who bought pizzas at $10 each, the Knights of Columbus donated $500 and Greg and Barbara Ruger agreed to match the first $1,000 the students raised. "If we sell everything, we'll clear $5,000," Murphy said. And again, every cent is being donated to World Central Kitchen. Murphy said World Central Kitchen will go anywhere when tragedy strikes to cook for those in need. Please see PIZZA, Page A12

Sharing seeds and knowledge to those who want to grow By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The headlines in recent times tell a story - empty shelves, delays in shipping, stores struggling to keep food on the shelves. Grant Wartnick has an answer for those concerned - grow your own food. To help others interested in growing produce, Wartnick and the Coquille Valley Seed Community hosted a seed giveaway last Saturday at the Coos Head Food Coop. Wartnick said he has always enjoyed growing his own food, but with questions hanging over the supply chain, Wartnick has never been happier to grown his own. "We live in uncommon times," Wartnick said Saturday. "If somebody has food, that takes care of one of your needs. If we have a community that does it together, it can take care of many needs." That is the whole concept behind the Coquille Valley Seed Community. Every member enjoys growing and many specialize in a specific kind of fruit or vegetable. By sharing their knowledge, and their seeds, the community helps all the members expand what the can produce. Wartnick said the Coquille Valley Seed Community has been great for him since he joined in 2015. A past president and current board member, Wartnick said his goal is to get as many people as possible growing their own food. Please see SEEDS, Page A11

Coquille Chess players continue to collect trophies at state championships On April 1 and 2, the Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation held championships at the Seaside Convention Center to determine nominees to proceed to nationals. Coquille did not win any nomination positions this year but still had fun, played some intense chess games and came home with a lot of hardware. In the Primary Silver Division, Ari Ish-Shalom, a kindergarten student who has been playing chess since the age of 3, played to a three way tie for first place. Tiebreakers determined a tie, blitz (speed chess) played to a tie and only after "armageddon" tiebreakers, Ari was given the second place trophy after losing to Jocelyn Cattone. Trophies were filled with saltwater candy and it was a challenge for Ari to hold the trophy while on stage during the award ceremony. In the Middle School Iron Division, Liam Haan won fourth place and Jordan Florez, who just joined the Coquille Chess Club two months ago, won fifth place. In the High School Copper Division, Jason Herker won fourth place and McKinley Warncke, who joined the Coquille Chess Club three months ago, won Honorable Mention. In the fun Blitz (speed chess) tournament, Ari Ish-Shalom and Erica Thrash won first place. In the fun Bughouse (too complicated to describe but chess players love this two person crazy team event), Sawyer Bergstedt and Dustin Herker

Coquille started the tradition of crazy hats during the Friday evening blitz and bughouse tournaments and were dressed for the occasion. Next weekend is the Chess For Success State Championships for elementary and middle school teams and grade level champions. The Chess for Success tournament has a long history and Coach Nancy Keller played in it when she was in sixth grade and still has her invitation letter to the event. She declined to say how long ago that was.

grant opportunities that will be awarded in the coming years by the U.S. Department of Transportation. $75 million to repair damaged and unsafe roadways in Oregon. $7 million for business and workforce development to help grow small construction contracting firms and to increase the size and diversity of the construction workforce. $10 million to fund a new mobility program that will work directly with community-based organizations to fund micro-mobility efforts with equity as a central priority of this pilot project. $40 million to fund maintenance and operations activities which have become increasingly underfunded. With the commission’s investment decisions, combined with the federal funds directly allocated to other transportation investment categories, Oregon’s share of the federal infrastructure package will be divided as follows: Sustainable and equitable transportation investments – 34 percent. Highway, bridge, and other maintenance and repair projects – 36 percent. State and local safety investments – 18 percent. Americans with disabilities improvements – 8 percent. Highway enhancements – 4 percent. “With today’s decisions, the Oregon Transportation Commission has directed investments that address some of the critical needs of our transportation system while also approving

expenditures in areas focused on a more equitable, safe, resilient, and sustainable transportation system, “ Oregon Transportation Commission Chair Robert Van Brocklin said. “We are grateful to our federal delegation for securing this funding. This isn’t the end of the conversation by any means. We’ll need additional funding to truly build a network that delivers greater safety and resiliency, supports a strong economy, and protects our livability and natural environment. Our actions today are an important step toward reaching that goal.” Today’s decision comes after months of public outreach and input. Legislators, mayors, city and county commissioners, and members of the public from across the state have testified before the commission, submitted written comments, and participated in online open houses sharing their perspectives and the extensive range of investments needs throughout Oregon.

Where ODOT will spend $412 million in fed funds Officials in Coos and Curry counties and cities such as Coos Bay and Brookings, remain hopeful for a fair share of needed transportation funding through the 2021 federal government infrastructure package. The federal package allocated $1.2 billion in additional transportation funding for the entire state of Oregon over the next few years. Approximately $800 million of that spending is directed to specific purposes. The remaining $412 million was not specifically allocated. The Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) has formally directed the $412 million in flexible funds be invested in the following ways: $95 million for improving accessibility for individuals with disabilities. $30 million to fund new Safe Routes to Schools projects that make it safer for children to walk or roll to school. $15 million to assist local governments to reduce transportation greenhouse gas emissions by planning climate-friendly communities. $50 million to transform state-owned arterials in urban areas to reflect their status as community main streets and to make them safer to use for people walking near and traveling on these roads. $50 million to complete a number of highway and interchange improvements to streamline the movement of goods. $40 million in matching funds to help Oregon compete effectively for billions of dollars in competitive federal

Guest Opinion

Politics and the Art of Listening By Solomon D. Stevens InsideSources.com

In his brilliant essay “Politics and the English Language,” George Orwell says that many people have bad writing habits. “If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step toward political regeneration.” He focused on the problems with writing, which continue to be serious today, but I want to discuss a related matter: listening. There are many causes of the political division that has gripped our country, but one fundamental reason for our growing polarization is that we have simply stopped listening to one another. Could we usher in a form of political regeneration if we learned how to listen more effectively? Why don’t we listen? One problem is that we give in to the temptation to impose labels on one another, labels like “authoritarian,” or “socialist.” It feels good to label people, because it makes it very easy for us to dismiss what others say, even before they say it. And that protects us from having to question our own beliefs. We start by knowing that others are evil, and then we can stop listening to them. And before the conversation really gets started, we begin criticizing one another. And then we get angry. As much fun as all of this is, it is deeply flawed. We are not being fair to ourselves or to others. We are closing ourselves off to opportunities that could — as Orwell said — help us think more clearly. If we are going to solve the many problems we are facing, we need to work together, and that means we need to learn how to listen to one another. I have three modest suggestions here to put us on a better path. 1. Suspend your belief that the person you are talking to has terrible motives. Don’t worry, you can always come back to that belief later, if nothing the person says changes your mind. But if you temporarily suspend your belief that the other person is evil, you can at least hear what is being said. Who knows, you might even change your mind about the person. That person might still be, in your opinion, wrong, but if that person doesn’t have terrible motives, you don’t need to be imme-

diate enemies, and you don’t need to get angry right away. That’s not a bad place to start. 2. Don’t focus on how you plan to respond to someone while the other person is talking. Have you ever had friends who clearly stop listening to you as you speak because they are already busy preparing a response to what you are saying, but because they are working on a response, they really have no idea what you are saying? I’ve had friends like that, and despite my affection for them, their inability to hear me has driven me crazy. I’ve had to stop what I was saying and point out to them that they weren’t listening. And what is fascinating to me is that they had no idea they weren’t listening. It wasn’t intentional. They just thought they knew what I was going to say. So if this is you, it is time to change this bad habit. 3. Consider the possibility that what someone is saying might help you clarify your own views. What I am suggesting is not that you immediately open yourself up to the possibility that you are wrong. A good place to begin is to look for things in what someone else says that will help you strengthen your own opinions. You may be speaking to someone who you think is wrong but who is clearly more versed in a knowledge of history than you. If you open yourself up to listening to that person, you might be able to make use of something that is said that will expand and clarify what you already believe. None of this is difficult, and these three points are not anything like a comprehensive guide to good listening skills. But we have to start somewhere. Who knows where it might lead? I am not a toxic optimist, and I have no illusions about the challenges facing us today. I don’t believe that good listening will bring us all together and that everything will be rainbows, harmony and singing “Kumbaya” together. But if we can’t at least improve our ability to listen, we cannot hope for the political regeneration of which Orwell spoke so eloquently. Solomon D.

Vote Cribbins for democracy in Coos County

How utterly ridiculous. The great land grab is not the answer for discontentment. Don't hate Portland. If you don't like liberal politics, exercise your democratic free will, well-within defined parameters, to change regimes. Change legislative leadership to your liking, but keep your sharpies off Oregon's topography. Crater Lake, Idaho!? Not on my watch! It's an absurd, radical, conservative, off-the-rails, mindset, though completely predictable, to use a sharpie to fabricate a narrative to steal a national treasure nestled within Oregon territory and create a Pacific Ocean coastline for Idaho. Idaho, I tell ya! It's beyond ignorant. Moscow, Idaho? Aw, now it makes more sense. As an Oregon native son (Ashland) OREGON [not] Ashland, Idaho, I spent my youth in Klamath Falls, Burns, Grants Pass, and Coos Bay graduating from Marshfield. (Go Pirates!) I played at Autzen stadium home of the Idaho Ducks. Wait a minute! That's not right. Parallel universes be like that... My dad was born in Glenns Ferry, Idaho. I watched the July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 moon landing in my uncle's living room. I still have family there (aunts, uncles, cousins). While I love family and spuds in all forms, the rationale to annex Oregon is not progressive, logical, or reasonable. It's dumb. It's a false flag, a fool's errant, a waste of time, money, energy, and print. Be more productive, innovative, and sound. That said, I would be in favor of changing Grants Pass to Smoke Valley, depending on this summer's fire season forest management. Bottom line: We simply MUST STOP anointing aristocrats, bigots and bullies, conspiracy theorists, and obstructionists as our rulers! Raise the bar already!

I am not the person to usually throw my support behind an incumbent candidate, but I must throw my support very strongly behind Melissa Cribbins in the Coos County commissioner race. Her opponent would be incomprehensibly dangerous for Coos County. Her opponent, Mr. Taylor, is a fascist that founded a local fascist group called Citizens Restoring Liberty and participated in the fascist assault on the capitol on January 6th, 2021. He was arrested for it and likely investigated by the FBI for it. He participated in a fascist assault on our democracy. To add insult to injury, he has come home and via his group, he has organized the interruption of Coos County commissioner meetings. He has also posted videos on right-wing video platforms Brighteon and Rumble, spreading wild conspiracies about things local and not. He has gleefully interviewed Q-Anon conspiracy theorist Anne Vandersteel and brought her to Coos County events. His politics do not bode well at all for the people of Coos County. He may act nice, but his ideology is not nice. His group is also transphobic, fearmongers about race issues, is xenophobic and disregarded public health for individual freedom during the pandemic and could’ve got many people sick. Rod Taylor is not even fit for the offices he holds, let alone county commissioner. Cribbins needs your votes this election because we have to protect Coos County from fascism and try to get the politics back to helping people, not doing nothing or hurting others. Volunteer for her, get a sign for her, share her posts. We cannot allow Rodney to have any control over this county. It is time to turn this bus around and stop the rightwing takeover.

Guest Opinion

Unusual coalition unites for clean energy By Matt Witt Communities in the rural West can stand up to giant outside gas companies, if they work together despite their differences. That’s how the Jordan Cove gas pipeline project was finally killed in Oregon by a coalition of conservative ranchers and farmers, climate activists, Indigenous tribal leaders, anglers, and coastal residents. The victory occurred last December, when a Canadian energy company called Pembina announced it would halt plans to build a 230-mile pipeline through rural southwestern Oregon, crossing more than 400 streams and rivers along the way. The pipeline was to carry fracked gas from the Rockies to a huge terminal proposed for the coastal town of Coos Bay, where it would be loaded onto ships bound for Asia. When the Jordan Cove export project was first announced some 15 years ago, the odds of stopping it appeared slim. Supporters included the state’s governor and its two U.S. senators – all Democrats – plus most of the Republican political establishment. But community organizers in Coos Bay and beyond didn’t give up. “The last thing we needed was another giant fossil-fuel project and another major fire hazard just to profit an outside corporation,” recalls Allie Rosenbluth, campaigns director of Rogue Climate, a grassroots group in southern Oregon. Rogue Climate contacted hundreds of landowners whose property would be affected, while also working with local environmental groups like Rogue Riverkeeper. They quickly found that many ranchers were angry about threats from the company. If landowners didn’t let the pipeline cross their land in return for a one-time payment, they were told, the power of eminent domain would be invoked to impose it on them anyway. Congress granted this power to gas pipelines in 1947. Over a seven-year period, an unlikely coalition grew in strength, turning out thousands of residents to public hearings and spurring more than 50,000 people to submit written comments to regulatory agencies. A delegation representing all parts of the coalition even held a sit-in in the governor’s office.

Matt Witt Seven rural landowners from across the political spectrum also published a column in the state’s largest newspaper, the Oregonian. It was blunt: “We are sick and tired of the pie-in-the-sky speculation by these for-profit corporations. We can't build, we can't plan, and we can't sell if we choose because of the threat of eminent domain.” Don Gentry, chair of the Klamath Tribes, protested that the pipeline would “strip shade from streams and pollute them with sediment, harming fish central to the Klamath’s traditions and way of life.” Bill McCaffree, a lifelong Republican, and longtime president of the local electrical workers union in Coos Bay, also publicly disagreed with construction union leaders who wanted the short-term work for their members. “Everyone who works in the building and construction trades wants to build things that benefit communities and don’t cause harm,” McCaffree said. “Since I was a kid, there have been jobs here in Coos County from fishing, clamming and oyster farming. What would happen to those jobs when the bay is disturbed by construction and operation of this export terminal?” A better strategy for creating good, stable jobs, McCaffree said, would be investing in energy efficiency and renewable energy

development. That sector is “creating jobs at a rate 12 times faster than the rest of the U.S. economy.” In the wake of this broad and vocal resistance, state agencies finally announced that the pipeline and terminal failed to qualify for necessary permits. That led Pembina to tell federal regulators it was dropping the project. The coalition didn’t stop with its victory. Members convinced the Oregon legislature last year to pass bills to transition the state to 100 percent clean energy by 2040, provide $50 million for community-based resilience and renewable energy projects outside of Portland, and appropriate $10 million for energy-efficient home repairs for low-income households. The legislature also banned any new natural gas power plants in Oregon. “Most of us who live in small towns and rural areas all want the same things,” said Rogue Climate’s Hannah Sohl. “Good jobs, a healthy climate, communities that work for everyone. We can accomplish a lot when we talk to each other and organize.” Matt Witt is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about Western issues.

Charles Kenneth “Ken” Harlan March 17, 1930 – February 6, 2022

Charles Kenneth “Ken” Harlan passed on February 6, 2022. He was 91. Ken was born on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17, 1930 in National City, California. He was born to his parents, Samuel Russell Harlan from Colorado and Adeline Hooper, originally from Mexico. Ken, the oldest of three siblings was preceded in death by his youngest brother, Ray and Patricia “Pat” his sister. He leaves behind his wife, Katy; 2 sons, Dave and Michael; daughter, Kathy Dewey; stepdaughter, Rose Mary Jones; 2 grandsons, Ethan Jones and David Dewey Jr.; and a great granddaughter, Harmony Dewey. Ken’s father was in the U.S. Navy and a hero of WWII, killed on his ship in the Pacific Ocean when Ken was around 14 years old. Since he was the oldest, he took charge of the family and continued school until he turned 17, when he decided to join the U.S. Navy. He wanted to see where in the Pacific Ocean his dad had been killed and he wanted to serve as his dad did. From

1947-1952, Ken was Radarman in the Navy on the Princeton Carrier, the USS General W. A. Mann and the USS Windham Bay. The last two years of his service he was stationed in Bremerton, Washington, where he fell in love with the Pacific Northwest and promised himself to return to it someday. In the 1990’s (specifically 90-93) California was going through a great depression. In San Diego, the Aeronautical companies were laying off and closing divisions, leaving many without jobs. This is when Ken decided to fulfill his dream and move to the Pacific Northwest. From 1994-1997, Ken carried out the position of planning commissioner in Coos Bay and was very involved, and enjoyed it very much. Later he ran for city council and was always interested in progress and politics of the city. Ken often expressed his opinions by writing articles to the editor of the newspaper, The World. Ken enjoyed his life and family, both in San Diego and here in Coos Bay. He

The Sea Captain boarded his Vessel for his final Voyage after his last set. He was born in Oakland, California to Clarence and Virginia Nelson. He was preceded in death by the love of his life, Peg (Margaret) Nelson. They married in Alameda, California on July 7, 1973. Throughout his lifetime Barry lived and worked with the ocean, with an early beginning at age 8 building his first boat from a kit, with his mother’s help. The challenge was laid by his father: if it turned out well and seaworthy, his father would provide an outboard motor. The project was likely an indication of Barry’s future, for mom declined the first cheap motor and insisted dad honor the bargain and successful build, and pony up with quality. This was a harbinger of things to come, for Barry went on to captain formidable racing sailboats from an early age, and developed into a worth seaman who shared his masterful expertise freely with others. He often helped youngsters getting into the industry, and helped oldsters remember why they became involved with the freedom of the sea to begin with. His career spanned yacht clubs, his and Peg’s deeply beloved sailboat, Pathfinder, his own yacht maintenance and repair business, fisheries wholesale and retail at Peg’s Fish Market, their own fishing vessels –

the F/V JJ, the F/V Atlas, and the F/V Mystic. He gave six years of service in the Navy during the early to mid 1960’s aboard the USS Proteus. During this time he trained as a nuclear electrician, and executed repairs within the reactor of the Polaris Submarine Nautilus. He remembered his time based in Edinburgh and Holy Loch fondly, yet vividly articulated the tensions upon arriving in Spain during the Bay of Pigs, and described the American troops inspection by General Franco himself. After his Naval Active-Duty Service, Barry continued in the Naval Reserve under the guidance of Bob Machin as a machinist for Naval Industry at Alameda; theirs was a lifelong and treasured friendship. Barry and his beloved wife, Peg touched many lives and dedicated much of their lives in service to the commercial fishing industry. Although they did not have children of their own, many have felt they simply adopted the West Coast. Their regard and respect for the hardworking men and women of the West Coast ran deep, as well as their own intrinsic relationship with the sea and the vessels who ply her nautical temperament. Barry served as a Director to the WFOA (Western Fishboat Owner’s Association), was an Oregon Salmon Commissioner for 25 years, as well as a Port Commissioner for

Wichester Bay, Oregon for 16 years. He took these responsibilities with great dedication and with a keen mind to create forward growing industry regulation in a sustainable manner. He knew well the value of a skilled trustworthy running mate and the interdependence we rely upon both at sea and upon land, and he took great joy in the relationships he held with those who have saltwater running through their veins. God blessed him all his life, and watched over him during Peace, war, and at Sea. For if anything, cherish every Moment, as one never knows when the last set will be The Last Set. May You Always Have Fair Winds, A Lofty Ship and a Bright Star to Steer Her By. Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals.com and www.theworldlink.com. Arrangements are under the care of North Bend Chapel, 541-756-0440.

DEAR ABBY

By Abigail Van Buren

SPARKS STILL FLYING WHEN COUPLE RECONNECT

DEAR ABBY: I reconnected with an old flame, "Ollie," eight years ago. We would see each other and catch up during a weekly event he hosted. We're both married with kids. We kept it non-physical but connected emotionally. We chatted every day and confessed our attraction to each other while still not engaging in anything more than our weekly encounters among friends. People often assumed we were husband and wife. At the time, I was going through a horrible period in my marriage. My husband, "Pete," was emotionally abusive and one night even threatened to kill me. Pete and I went to couples counseling, and I went to counseling on my own. During the first five years of reconnecting with Ollie, he was supportive, accepting and very kind. I fell in love with him, and he with me. We had one quick hug before I left for the holidays. When I returned, we had an intimate kiss. Then COVID hit. Obviously, there was no physical contact after that kiss, but we still talk nearly every day. We have seen each other at business functions among friends twice in three months. Pete has actually changed and has apologized for how he treated me. We got along nicely during the quarantine. I am just no longer attracted to him. I no longer trust him. He knows nothing of my friendship with Ollie. I also don't think Ollie will ever give in to his feelings for me. What can I do? -- CONFOUNDED IN IOWA DEAR CONFOUNDED: Go back to your counselor. You have some heavy decisions to make about how you want to live the rest of your life. Remove Ollie from the equation and ask yourself if you really want to stay married to someone to whom you are no longer attracted and no longer completely trust.

Some people are so fearful of the prospect of being alone that they stay in empty or abusive relationships. Figure out whether you have the strength to go it alone, and you will have the answer to your question. DEAR ABBY: I live in an over-55 condominium community in Florida. Overall, it's calm and quiet, which is why I moved here. My favorite pastime and form of exercise is to go to the pool. However, some neighbors think nothing of playing their music loudly in the pool area. I would never subject anyone else to my taste in music in such a public arena, and I can't understand why they think they have the right to inflict it on other people without asking. I have spoken to them politely and asked that they refrain, but they continue to do exactly as they want. Any suggestions? -- DESPERATELY SEEKING PEACE AND QUIET DEAR DESPERATELY: Because you have spoken to the neighbors about this with no success, I will offer some suggestions. The first would be to bring this to the attention of the manager and the board of directors of your condominium association. Consideration for others should not need to be written into the bylaws, but the sad reality is that sometimes it does. Another solution could be as simple as the music lovers wearing ear buds to enjoy their music without bothering others. However, if that doesn't solve the problem, you may have to invest in noise-canceling headphones for yourself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

SCHHC Medical Imaging receives ACR CT ‘Gold Standard’ recertification Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center’s Medical Imaging Department recently received its renewed American College of Radiology (ACR) Computed Tomography (CT) accreditation, following a stringent set of guidelines. Medical Imaging Manager Deb Backman explained that the process, which can often take up to six months, was completed by the SCHHC Medical Imaging Department in six weeks. This particular accreditation was for the hospital’s CT scanner. The Technologists, Medical Imaging Manager, Radiologist, and CEO had to prove that the machine had met certain “phantom” tasks following standard protocols verified by the American College of Radiology. In addition, all Technologists and Radiologists must have certain levels of documented education and training as well as continued education. ACR requires proof that the CT Technologists are able to competently and efficiently complete CT scans with reduced radiation exposure techniques. The tests and documents are gathered, then submitted to ACR

for approval. There is a program utilized through ACR for low-dose lung screening and mammography screening in order to track cancer patients through multiple modalities. “What that means is our patients will receive images by a licensed Technologist with continuity of care involving improved scanning techniques with reduced dosage of ionizing radiation,” Backman said. ACR accreditation is reinstated every three years. The CT scanner in the Southern Coos Hospital Medical Imaging Department has been ACR accredited since 2018. The next ACR accreditation will be on the hospital’s state-of-the-art 3-D mammography unit, which has been ACR accredited since 2012. “It’s a big deal to pass the first time with no dings,” Backman said. “I’m very proud of the team and their well-deserved accolades for assisting in passing our national ACR accreditation for CT scanning.” What is the ACR accreditation? American College of Radiol-

ogy (ACR) Computed Tomography (CT) Accreditation is recognized as the gold standard in medical imaging. By displaying the gold seals of ACR Accreditation, hospitals and imaging centers can demonstrate to their patients, payers and referring physicians that they are commit-

ted to providing the safest and best quality care possible. What is computerized tomography used for? A CT scan can be used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and is used to diagnose disease or injury as well as to plan medical, surgical or radiation treatment.

A CT scan or computed tomography scan is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to obtain detailed internal images of the body noninvasively for diagnostic purposes. The personnel that perform CT scans are called Radiographers or Radiologic Technologists.

Cheryl Johnson named clinical Ziply Fiber launches employee of the month at SCHHC Cheryl Johnson has been a respiratory therapist for 27 years and has worked in hospitals in some capacity for 34 years, starting while still in high school. The profession came naturally to her. Both her father and grandfather were respiratory therapists so Johnson is carrying on the tradition for a third generation. Spending time with her father ignited her passion and she could put a ventilator together when she was 8 years old. Her husband also is a retired respiratory therapist. She has worked at Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center for seven years, since March 2015, in the respiratory services department. Her years of respiratory therapy experience and her strong leadership skills earned her the honor of being named SCHHC clinical Employee of the Month for February. “Cheryl has provided terrific leadership to her RT team, which resulted in an RT team that is top notch and equal to any in the country,” her nomination states. Johnson is often seen working 12-hour shifts along with her teammates whenever there is a staffing shortage, even staffing many night shifts to help ensure the hospital has 24/7 coverage. “Cheryl provides valuable insight to the Emergency and Med/Surg departments regarding patients who require oxygen,” the nomination continues. “Cheryl’s knowledge contributes to the great clinical care provided for our hospital and community at large. Her calm demeanor and compassionate care is ever-present with all that she does. Cheryl is a real team player and a great example to everyone.” Johnson grew up in Virginia and attended college in Maryland to earn her respiratory therapy degree. She and her family, including her husband and twin daughters, moved to Eugene to be closer to her mother. She worked at Sacred Heart at River Bend, then saw an opening at Southern Coos and interviewed and was hired by Carol Meijer, chief nursing officer at the time. Her twin daughters, now 22, are attending college. One is at Oregon State University studying business and the other is at Oregon Institute of Technology, studying medical imaging. Johnson sees her role as support for physicians and nurses, taking care of airway issues, testing pulmonary function and doing initial screenings

for sleep issues. She’s also worked in a NICU, and a pulmonary lab doing bronchoscopies, among other areas. “I’ve been exposed to so many different areas of RT,” she said. “There’s just been a lot of things I’ve been able to learn. The profession has been really good at teaching me different skills.” Johnson manages a staff of six and speaks highly of each one. “We have very skilled RTs at Southern Coos,” she said. “Two of them have advanced credentials and all of them have many years of experience in different facilities throughout the United States.” The SCHHC respiratory services department has completely updated equipment to support its pulmonary function program. The department receives orders from many other facilities for patients who live in the South Coast area. In her time off, Johnson enjoys spending time with her husband. She is also a self-confessed “movie freak” and was thrilled to be able to attend a movie at a theater recently, popcorn and all. The movie was “Batman.” “It’s a good place to be,” she said of Southern Coos Hospital. “There’s a really good RT team with many skills to offer and that’s unusual for a place this small. I’m just really proud of the therapists.”

Ziply™ Fiber announced recently that its ultra-high-speed, 100-percent fiber-optic network is now ready for service in Bandon, enabling its popular “Gig-speed,” or Gigabit fiber connectivity, and its industry leading 5-gig and 2-gig residential services to more than 1,400 addresses throughout the city, with thousands more on the way. Earlier this year, the company announced plans to bring its 1-Gig service to town, but with its recent introduction of multigig services in the Northwest, this launch makes Bandon one of the fastest cities in the nation when it comes to household internet speeds, on par with if not faster than most major metropolitan areas. In total, nearly 4,000 Bandon residences and businesses will have fiber-optic network access when Ziply Fiber’s network construction is complete. This build is one piece of how Ziply Fiber is bridging the digital divide that exists between large metro areas and many suburbs and rural communities. “We couldn’t be more excited to be here in Bandon with not just our gig-speed offering, but also our new multi-gig services, because our goal has always been to give people a choice to find the kind of plan that meets their individual or family needs,” said Harold Zeitz, CEO of Ziply Fiber. “We’ve always said that you shouldn’t have to live in a big city to have great internet and we’re proud to continue to invest in Bandon to make that a reality.” Ziply Fiber’s announcement comes at a time when more and more families and businesses need high-capacity internet to support the online needs of daily life in today’s world. Ziply

Fiber's blazingly-fast service requires no annual contracts and no data caps for residential users. New and existing customers who wish to check their address for fiber availability, or who would like to sign-up to be alerted when fiber internet is available at their home or business, can register at https:// www.ziplyfiber.com/bandon. When fiber is shown as available at their address, Ziply’s existing DSL customers can upgrade by calling 1-866-699-4759. Ziply Fiber also participates in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), an FCC benefit program which allows qualified people to receive free or reduced cost monthly internet service. To determine your eligibility and sign up for ACP, please visit https://acpbenefit.org. Ziply Fiber’s goal is always to leave an area in a condition as good if not better than it was before construction began. If residents notice something has been missed, the company wants to know about it and asks that details be shared at https://ziplyfiber.com/constructioncleanup. The work in Bandon is part of Ziply Fiber’s commitment to invest more than $500 million over the next two to three years to build an advanced, 100-percent fiber network to both suburban and rural communities across the Northwest that have been underserved when it comes to internet access. The company has been actively building fiber across the Northwest since June 2020 and has plans to build and deploy new fiber-optic cables, local hubs, new offices, and new hardware to run the network as part of hundreds of additional projects across its 250,000-square-mile footprint.

AS I SEE IT: The First Bandon Fire By MARY SCHAMEHORN For the first picture, I've chosen a shot of locals fighting a fire in 1914 that destroyed quite a few buildings in the business section of Bandon, and was often referred to as the First Bandon Fire. In the lower left corner you can see the Hotel Gallier, which was located just east of the present Coast Guard building, so you will get an idea of the area of town that burned. I was looking for a picture that would depict a fire department to go along with an article in the July 11, 1929, Western World that talked about organizing Bandon's first real fire department. If you look closely you will see reels of hose, which is pretty much all the equipment that they had in those days. Here is a bit about that first fire department. "C.L. Barnum, proprietor of Barney's Service Station, an experienced fireman and one time platoon leader in the Marshfield department, was elected chief of the Bandon volunteer department at an organizational meeting held at the city hall last night. Other elections were C.S. (Curly) Woomer, assistant chief; Fred Moore, F.E. Drane and Elmer Gant, delegates." At the time of the big Bandon Fire in 1936, Curly Woomer was fire chief and Forrest Norton was his assistant. "It was decided to organize five companies, one each for pumper, chemical, boom and ladder, tug and salvage. Lute Henry has been engaged temporarily to sleep at the fire hall for the purpose of driving the truck in the event of a night fire." The guest speaker for the meeting was State Fire Marshal Geo. W. Stokes, who said, "A volunteer fire department is a public service organization and merits the whole-hearted support of everyone in the community. "It is essential to proper protection and without it the very best of equipment is practically useless." He complimented Bandon upon its splendid purchase in a fire truck and its water system. "Ten men who take an interest in the work and who turn out regularly to drill are more efficient than 50 who are only half-hearted. The most important things in connection with a department are attendance at drills and the willingness of the men to obey orders. "Mayor Herbert Brown explained that the city has purchased an up-to-date truck with a 500-gallon pumper and has ample hose and a chemical and that now it wants a volunteer department. Much enthusiasm was displayed by the more than 80 people present," continued the article. I chose the second picture of the Silver Spray Gardens band to illustrate the Fourth of July Celebration program, which appeared on the front page of the July 4, 1929, Western World. Here's what it was like in Bandon on the Fourth nearly a century ago. The day started off with foot races for boys and girls on First Street near the Gallier hotel. Water sports in the river were slated, with outboard motor races and a U.S. Coast Guard drill. The program continued: "Swimming starts at Wecoma Baths at 11 a.m., to continue all day and evening. A picnic lunch will be held at noon at city park; bring baskets. Coffee, cream and sugar furnished free. At 2 p.m. a matinee, 'Speak Easy,' an all-talking picture, will be at the Hartman Theatre. A baseball game will be played between Coquille and the Coos County All-Star team, representing Bandon. At 3 p.m., dancing starts at the Silver Spray Gardens, and again the Hartman theatre will present 'Speak Easy.' "Throughout the day, the Bandon Concert Band will present concerts, and people can spend the day golfing at

Top: In the lower left corner you can see the Hotel Gallier, which was located just east of the present Coast Guard building, so you will get an idea of the area of town that burned. Westmost Golf Links." The third picture was taken last week during the demolition of the motel on Coquille Point, built in the mid-1980s by Ed and Margaret Gorman, and more recently owned by Mike Keiser. Although the property has been completely cleared off, a city official told me last week that the Keiser family is "holding off for a year (to build its new hotel) because of the uncertainty with the war in Ukraine and fuel prices." He did say, however, that they had just submitted their final plans for review. As part of the demolition process, Wild Rivers Coast Alliance -- the grant- making department of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort -- reached out to local organizations that serve people to donate hotel items, which went to Salvation Army, Ruth's Closet, Devereux Center and South Coast Hospice. So it appears that we will have to wait another year to see what the Keisers have in store for their beautiful new hotel and that historic piece of property, which is just east of the site of the old natatorium (Wecoma Baths), which burned in the fire of 1936. In the meantime, the Linke family, who own Table Rock Motel, has torn down the original section and are already beginning construction on new units. -----------------------------------------

City of Bandon utility customers probably noticed that their power blinked at least once Sunday morning, which probably meant at least resetting the clocks on their appliances. Our utility supervisor, Jim Wickstrom, told me the blink seemed to be system wide involving all substations. He believed it was a Bonneville Power Administration issue. At least one person reported that the blinking continued throughout the morning, and Wickstrom said he contacted BPA, who indicated it was a relay issue. For customers who do have problems, they can call city hall 24 hours a day (541-347-2437), and, if at night, just press 5 to report a utility problem. -----------------------------------------

I mentioned recently that there had been reports of gas thefts in the East Bandon area, and it was confirmed when a friend of mine who lives in that area sent me a photo of his pickup, with its two gas caps lying on the ground and a short length of hose alongside. It appears that someone was in the process of siphoning his gas when something or someone scared them away. Later on Facebook, the Bandon Police Department reported that they had caught and charged someone they said was involved in gas thefts and breaking into vehicles. They thanked citizens who had called in with tips and information. -----------------------------------------

I recently read that longtime Coquille School Superintendent Tim Sweeney has accepted a similar position at

Grants Pass, and will assume his new job on July 1. Sweeney, whose wife Jennifer is also an educator, was named Superintendent of the Year in 2019 by the Oregon Association of School Executives and the Coalition of Oregon School Superintendents. Before spending 12 years as Coquille superintendent, he was superintendent of Butte Falls School District. The Coquille School District, which also operates Winter Lakes School, has seen a great deal of growth under Sweeney's leadership, and he will be missed. -----------------------------------------

Mother's Natural Grocery closed Sunday for a couple of months while Sheri and Randy make repairs and plans for the future of the very popular deli and mini-mart. In the last 6 months I have been a regular customer of the deli, which has some of the greatest vegetarian food that I have ever eaten. It now appears that I will once again have to start cooking, and I'm not necessarily looking forward to it. They will be missed by a lot of us.

-----------------------------------------

I learned this week, when I read John Canzano's latest column, that Pete Ward, former Chicago White Sox star and husband of Margaret Huntington, who spent her early years in Bandon, had died March 16 at the age of 84. Pete and Margaret had lived much of their married life in Lake Oswego after he retired from nine seasons in the Major Leagues. Pete had suffered from dementia the last few years, and they lost their son, Steven, to COVID a year ago. The Huntington family were neighbors of mine when we were in grade school and I spent several summer vacations in Vida where Margaret's father, Ben C. Huntington, was then superintendent of the McKenzie River School District, the same position he held here.

-----------------------------------------

I found out last week that the time for Barbara Dodrill's funeral service, on Saturday, April 23, at the First Presbyterian Church, is 2 p.m.

-----------------------------------------

Fred Gernandt posted on Facebook about an encounter he had with a stranger one day last week in front of the post office. Just as he was beginning to enter the post office, a blue newer BMW SUV "zoomed up to me against traffic and the driver introduced himself as from Saudi Arabia. He appeared to have family in the car. He took off his ring and tried

to sell it to me, indicating it was gold. I shooed him away. The car had diffusers on the license plate, and it was from Florida." Another poster had a similar experience when they encountered a car with Florida plates on their road, and at the highway he pulled up alongside of them and yelled that he needed money and would sell them a gold ring. This sounds like some kind of a scam that people need to be aware of. Speaking of scams, many of my email contacts have received strange requests from someone pretending to be me in recent weeks. And if they respond to the first request, they will learn that I need an apple card or eBay cards of $500. Believe me it's not me!

Bandon edges Reedsport in seventh inning, 2-1 The World Bandon’s baseball team won a showdown with Reedsport 2-1 on Tuesday, getting a game-winning sacrifice fly in the bottom of the seventh inning. The game was a pitcher’s duel between Bandon’s Colton Siewell and Reedsport’s Kyren Johnson. The Tigers got two of their four hits in the seventh inning. Chris Butler opened with a single to left and Will Panagakis was hit by a pitch. Brandon Wilson hit a bloop single that hit the chalk on the right field line to load the bases and bring up Danny Cabrera, who hit a fly ball to the warning track in right field that became a game-winning sacrifice fly. Johnson threw just 78 pitches while pitching a complete game for Reedsport, striking out seven and inducing a lot of easy plays for his defense. Siewell, meanwhile, was dominant in a complete game for Bandon, striking out 15 batters. He allowed just one hit, a twoout RBI single by Jordan Thompson in the fourth inning that scored Gabe Foster, who had been hit by a pitch and advanced to third on a bad pick-off attempt. Bandon’s other run came in the first inning, when Cooper Lang had a lead-off single, stole second and moved to third

and came home on passed balls. “It was a big win,” said Bandon coach Jay Ferrell, adding that he was looking ahead to another big game for the Tigers on Friday, when they host Coquille, which also is 2-0 in league play. Reedsport, which was playing its league opener, is at Siletz Valley on Friday and hosts Coquille on Tuesday. COQUILLE TOPS IRISH: The Red Devils improved to 2-0 in the Sunset Conference with a 12-9 road win at Waldport on Tuesday. BULLDOGS SHUT OUT SPRINGFIELD: North Bend topped Springfield 4-0 for its first Midwestern League win. Knoll Gederos threw two scoreless innings and Bryant Wicks five for the Bulldogs, who got all their runs in the seventh inning. Gederos had a lead-off walk, Carter Brock put down a sacrifice bunt and was safe at first base when it was misplayed by the Millers, allowing Gederos to reach third. Peyton Forrester followed with a sacrifice bunt to move Brock to second and Luke Wheeling was walked intentionally. Jacob Randle had an RBI groundout to score Gederos. After Jacob Randle was hit by a pitch to load the bases again and Joshio Stevens walked, Wicks had a tworun single. North Bend hosts Eagle Point on Saturday.

SOFTBALL NORTH BEND WINS: The Bulldogs got their first Midwestern League win when they shut out host Springfield 18-0 on Tuesday. Sarah Shore and Mia Reynon combined to allow just one base runner, on a catcher’s interference call, in the victory for North Bend. Emma Spalding had two hits for North Bend while Jasmine Gregory and Reynon had one each. The Bulldogs host Eagle Point on Saturday for a doubleheader, with the opener starting at 1 p.m. TIGERS BLANK BRAVE: Bandon shut out Reedsport 15-0 on Tuesday to improve to 2-0 in league play. Bandon’s other league win also came by 15 runs, when the Tigers topped Waldport 16-1 last week. TRACK & FIELD Jack Waddington and Trent Summers won two events each for Marshfield in a meet at Siuslaw High School in Florence on Tuesday. Marshfield won both team titles, with Siuslaw second for the boys and Elmira second for the girls among the four schools in the competition. The event was the final tuneup before the Pirates host the annual Coos County Meet on Friday. They have another big

home meet when they host the annual Prefontaine Rotary Invitational next Saturday, and between the two they host most a Sky-Em League meet Tuesday. Summers got over the bar at 14 feet, 3 inches to win the pole vault, based on misses when Siuslaw’s Camp Lacouture also cleared the same height. On the track, Summers won the 300-meter intermediate hurdles in 46.47 seconds. Waddington had a new best of 39 feet, 2 inches to win the triple jump and also cleared 5-6 to win the high jump. Other winners for Marshfield’s boys were Cael Church in the 400 (53.79), Ethan Flood in the 800 (2:20.16, .02 ahead of teammate Elijah Cellura), Jacob Calvert in the 1,500 (5:02.86) and Jonah Martin in the long jump (18-3 ¾). Marshfield’s girls got wins by Charlie Dea in the 200 (28.54) and long jump (14-6 ¼). Bailey Wallack won the 100 meters (13.62) and was second to Dea in the 200. Daphne Scriven won the shot put (31-10 ½) and was second in both the discus and javelin. Teammate Tori Cox won the discus (100-4). Keira Crawford won the high jump (4-10) and was second behind Dea in the long jump. Alie Clark won the triple jump for Marshfield (29-0). Pacific also participated in the meet and got one win, by Qwentyn Petty in the 100 (11.66).

Smith runs to victory in Salmon Creek Run The World Karl Smith won the annual Salmon Creek Run in Powers on Saturday, covering the 10,000-meter course in 38 minutes and 32 seconds. Smith was followed by Emilie Martinez, the top female finisher, who crossed the line in 46:39. Josh Goudelock was third in 48:02 and Carol Aron fourth (second among women) in 48:56. Phil Wyatt was the top finisher in the 5-kilometer race, in 26:26. He was followed by Kelley Sommer, the first female finisher, in 29:25. Aaron Wyatt was third overall in 29:52.

SWOCC softball team up to No. 2 in the NWAC

The Southwestern Oregon Community College softball team ranked second in the initial NWAC RPI rankings, which will be used to set the field for the season-ending tournament. The top three teams from each region advance to the tournament automatically, with the rest of the field and the seedings determined by the RPI rankings. Walla Walla held the initial No. 1 ranking after starting the season 18-2. The Lakers, who are 23-3, ranked second despite handing Walla Walla both its losses. SWOCC improved to 9-1 in the South Region with four more wins last week and one more on Tuesday. The Lakers swept home doubleheaders against Clark (10-1 and 11-3) and Lower Columbia (4-2 and 9-2) before splitting in Salem against Chemeketa on Tuesday (winning 8-0 and losing 6-5). Alapese Matautia had a home run and Samantha Mansfield two doubles in the first game against Clark, while Alyssa Smokey pitched four innings, giving up one hit and striking out eight, before Trinity Jordan pitched the fifth. Smokey, McKenna Marshall and Brittany Bye had home runs in the nightcap against the Penguins. Against Lower Columbia, Hannah Tennant and Matautia each hit two-run homers in the opener. Smokey pitched a complete game with seven strikeouts, allowing a pair of solo home runs by Jade Behic. Bye and Katelynn Evans each drove in two runs in

The Lakers lost 4-3 and won 6-1 in the two games at home and won 7-0 and fell 3-2 in the games at Salem. SWOCC almost swept the two

home games, but Chemeketa scored two in the ninth to come from behind and win the opener. Cannon Morgan had two hits and scored a run in the loss. In the nightcap, Brandon Ochoa, Dallas McGill and Luke Miles combined on a one-hitter on the mound, with Ochoa pitching six innings and striking out eight to pick up the win. Ryan Cooper had a single and triple and drove in two runs, Roman Guthrie had two hits and two

runs and Taigo Sato had a run and two RBIs. In the shutout win at Chemeketa, Derek Atkinson pitched six innings, allowing three hits and striking out six, and Miles pitched the final three, striking out two more. Chase Stewart had three hits and two RBIs and Roman Guthrie also drove in two runs, while Morgan and Anu McCabe each scored twice. In the nightcap, Chemeketa managed just three hits, but

scored three runs in the second inning, including one on an error and another when a batter was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. Morgan had two doubles and scored both SWOCC runs, on a single by Stewart and a double by McCabe. The Lakers have four games against Lane this week, a doubleheader in Eugene on Thursday (results were not available by press time) and a home twin bill against the Titans on Saturday.

The annual Tour de Fronds bicycle event always takes place on the third Saturday of June, Father’s Day weekend. It is a fully supported bicycle ride that allows cyclists to enjoy a day in their back yard, the gorgeous Siskiyou National Forest. All cyclists are welcome. In 2018, Orbike (www.orbike. com) asked cyclists to vote for the best bike rides in Oregon. Tour de Fronds received overwhelming support and returned to No. 1 for 2018. With over 70 rides on the list to choose from, Tour de Fronds riders made their voices heard. It was proof that size does not matter. Orbike has not conducted any recent polls, so Tour de Fronds remains No. 1. In 2013, the Powers Lions Club became the sole sponsor of the ride. Since then, the ride has started and ended in Powers. With the Lions sponsorship, the number of riders has increased with numbers creeping up from 69 the first year to 298 in 2019. Powers volunteers really step up to make this an outstanding event.

"When I came back to Oregon, I wanted to help people grow their own food," Wartnick said. "The Coquille Valley Seed Community is a group that allows people to do that. It was a group that was doing my mission, so it was a no brainer to join." Wartnick, who owns South Coast Garden Starters LLC, said he specializes in growing mustard greens, but he is learning to expand what he can produce. "I love gardening with others," he said. "I'm not as good at gardening by myself. This year, I'm planning to grow potatoes that got from some members." While growing produce is the goal of all community members, the group's name tells an even deeper story. The members love to grow things from seed while also collecting and preserving seeds for future years. To share their knowledge and seeds, the community hosts a seed exchange every year, where members bring what they have and trade with others. The community has attracted up to 80 people to some seed exchanges, but like most things it was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Wartnick said monthly meetings were cancelled and the seed exchanges went virtual. But a few weeks ago, the community got back to in person with their seed exchange in 2022. The leftover seeds and plants were brought to Coos Bay on Saturday to share with anyone who wants to grow their own food. "We want to be reproducers," Wartnick said. "We want to help others grow their own food." One goal to make that happen was helping start a seed library at the North Bend Public Library, which is now up and running. Another advantage to the Coquille Valley Seed Community is the seeds that are used are proven to be effective along the South Coast. "It's locally grown, so it's adapted to our area," Wartnick said. The Coquille Valley Seed Community is open to any growers in Coos, Douglas and Curry counties. Many of the founders are still active and sharing knowledge and seeds. "They have incredible knowledge," Wartnick said. "They kind of passed the torch on to us. We're trying to make sure it's alive and vibrant." While the community members regularly share amongst themselves, opening it up to the general

ment about the “absolutely amazing bike ride and volunteers.” The tour provides a choice of scenic rides on low-traffic roads. This year there are five asphalt rides. Take your pick of rides from 30 to 102 miles. There is something for everyone, from the novice to the cycling enthusiast. Asphalt rides: Daphne Grove- This is a 30mile ride. Once you reach Daphne Grove spend time and enjoy the day alongside the river. Agness Pass – This ride is 43 miles with a 4.5-mile challenge climb. Elevation at Agness Pass is 2,350 feet. Eden Valley Metric Century – Try this 63-mile metric century ride with 2,200 feet of climbing and one sustained grade up to 10 percent. Arrastra Saddle – The distance to Arrastra Saddle and back is 76 miles with lots of climbing. Cruiser Loop – The 102-mile ride provides a multitude of challenges for the hardy rider. Cruiser Loop riders need to depart no later than 7 a.m. due to the length and challenge of this ride. Weekend Schedule: Friday – June 17, 5-7:30 p.m. Pasta Fund Raising Dinner $10 Adults, $5 Children 6-12, under 6 free. This event will be held at the Blue Shelter at the Powers

All the rest stops provide a wide array of tasty snack and an opportunity to re-hydrate, as well as enjoy music from local musicians at some of the rest stops. Following the ride, cyclists are invited to Ross Hall in Powers for a delicious post-ride meal with some serious homemade dessert choices. The meal is served from 11:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Riders are free to depart at their chosen time. However, Cruiser Loop riders need to depart no later than 7 a.m. due to the length and challenge of this ride. Sunday – June 19, 7:30-11 am Powers Lions Club Father’s Day Fund Raising Pancake Break-

Our new reality By Dr. Charles Hurbis Guest Article

The Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, known as Terrible Tilly by those who once worked there, has been listed for sale.

Tillamook Rock Lighthouse for sale for $6.5 million From Staff Reports The Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, dubbed ‘Terrible Tilly’ by those who worked there off the northwest coast of Oregon, sits a mile from Tillamook Head between Seaside and Cannon Beach is for sale for $6.5 million. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports investors had paid $50,000 in 1980 to buy the deteriorating lighthouse, Oregon’s only offshore light station. The island’s isolation, impossible boat landings and extreme weather as well as the lighthouse crews’ dislike of their monthslong stays where they were cold, wet and constantly reminded of their dangerous job, earned the tower the nickname “Terrible Tilly.” The 141-year-old Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is owned by Mimi Morissette. According to OPB reports, she once hoped to turn the lighthouse into a large

columbarium, a place to store people’s cremated remains. There was room, she said, for up to 300,000 urns. But Morissette’s plan never took off like she hoped. Forty-two years later, the ashes of only 31 people, including Morissette’s parents, have been laid to rest at the lighthouse. Morissette, who is 77, has concluded it is time for someone else to take over. History from the Lighthouse Friends An intriguing and powerful testament of the will and determination of the human spirit, the story of Tillamook Rock Lighthouse began in 1878 when Congress appropriated $50,000 for a lighthouse to mark this section of the Oregon Coast. Originally, it was hoped that a lighthouse could be built at Tillamook Head, a 1,000-foothigh headland twenty miles south

of the Columbia River, however, the top of the headland was often shrouded in fog, and as its sheer face offered no acceptable alternative, Tillamook Rock was considered instead. In June 1879, H.S. Wheeler boated out to the rock to determine if a lighthouse would be feasible there. Heavy seas initially made landing impossible, but after several attempts, Wheeler was able to clamber up the rock. After a careful inspection, he decided the rock could be conquered. The Annual Report of the Lighthouse Board carried the following forecast for the project: “Though the execution of the work will be a task of labor and difficulty, accompanied by great expense, yet the benefit which the commerce seeking the mouth of the Columbia River will derive from a light and fog-signal located there, will warrant all the labor and expense involved.”

When did the volume of death we’ve sustained during this pandemic become so acceptable? Frighteningly, we are rapidly approaching the one million mark. In an average day, we’ve been observing more deaths than occurred during Hurricane Katrina, more every two days than occurred during the Twin Tower attack and more in the past two years than during the entire four decades of the AIDS pandemic. If you were over 75, your chance of dying was 140 times greater than if you were 20, and the unvaccinated were 53 times more likely to die than someone fully vaccinated. And now just around the corner, as we seem to leave the Omicron (BA.1) wave behind us, comes BA.2 or “Omicron the sequel.” This variant is apparently once again 50% more contagious than our last strain but otherwise similar in most ways, including vaccination coverage. How this plays out in the U.S. no one can predict. I’d like to think we know how to control it this time around. But, let’s assume for a second that this nightmare is behind us, and for the greatest part maybe it is. What’s obvious is everyone wants it to be. We aren’t even naming new strains anymore, just giving them numbers. The big question in the future will be, what has this pandemic left behind? With probably more than 1/3 of our population having contracted the disease, what long term damage has been done to the health of those individuals? How will the aftermath of COVID affect the general wellbeing of our population and what will the economic and medical cost be? As time goes on we’ve learned more and more about the long-term effects of this disease. I’m not trying to relate sensationalistic news here, but this is what we now know having lived with this thing over the past two years. Clearly by now everyone has heard of people suffering from long COVID. It seems that around 30% of the infected population will sustain some degree of extended disease. The damage leading to this has become clearer as there are more and more examples. It appears that there are four categories of patients at higher risk for sustaining long COVID. These categories are: 1) Patients who carried a very high level of viral RNA early in their infection, 2) Those who produced certain damaging autoantibodies, 3) Those who had a reactivation of the Epstein-Barr virus (which is associated with a prior history of Mononucleosis), or 4) Those with Type II diabetes. Much of what occurs during long COVID is due to either, 1) A protracted immunologic response to viral components deposited within tissues during the infection (and they are deposited everywhere in our body), or 2) Neurologic damage, whereby one area of our parasympathetic nervous system, specifically the component regulating the activity of small blood vessels, has become damaged affecting blood flow.

Dr. Charles Hurbis Long COVID is variable in its expression. Patients affected will complain of some combination of the following issues: Exercise fatigue – The inability to exercise is one of the most common long-term problems. Even mild exercise will lead to symptomatic relapse long after initial recovery from COVID. Studies now show that long COVID patients have an abnormal physiologic response to exercise. Most patients will recover normal heart and lung function, yet their muscles are unable to extract the oxygen required during exercise. Many factors are at play here including abnormal blood flow to the muscles where vascular regulation has been damaged as noted above. Tissue studies now show small nerve fiber damage within the vessels, preventing blood from being properly supplied to the muscles during times of stress. Additionally, muscle tissue seems to have a decreased capacity to process oxygen and lastly, even the mitochondria sustain damage (the mitochondria being the muscle cell’s power generators). The inability of blood vessels to regulate blood flow also leads to a syndrome called POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome whereby blood pressure regulation by changing vascular resistance (a normal and needed function) has been lost. This makes exercise all but impossible. The brain – Lower oxygen levels and inflammation during a COVID infection may lead to a decrease in brain volume equivalent to a decade of aging (re-read that one) leading to cognitive impairment, a decreased attention span, worsening of memory and diminished word finding skills. Lungs – Long COVID leads to a decrease in your capacity to properly process oxygen due to the development of extensive micro emboli throughout the lungs and a thickening of the blood/air barrier making oxygen absorption less effective. Blood Sugar – Long COVID patients have an increased likelihood of developing Type II Diabetes due to microvascular damage of islet cell aggregates within the pancreas. The islet cells are those responsible for insulin production and blood sugar regulation. This damage is likely an irreversible process. Cardiovascular – One study showed that COVID patients are substantially more likely to develop 20 different varieties of heart disease or vascular problems, including heart failure, Please see Doc H, Page B7

pulmonary embolism and stroke. During a recent CNN interview, infectious disease expert Dr. Kent Sepkowitz called this increase risk “the greatest of any clinical study I have read to date, it’s jaw dropping”. So, getting back to the question of what we are left with, certainly any combination of the above syndromes will affect someone’s ability to complete a standard workday. There will be a long-term cost to society with increased medical expenses

Isn’t it amazing how quickly time passes and what is important to community life changes? Do you remember Vollsted Volkswagen or the Emporium or the Hub in downtown Coos Bay? Change, that is directed with vision, can chart a course to a great future. Let’s continue to focus on those bold ideas. BOLD is a community defining its vision, mission and values and collaborating with civic officials and leaders throughout the community to come together for the success of the Bay Area. Our community has survived because of the passion of the people that live here. Where

would this area be without the John Whitty’s, the Louie Simpson’s, the Gordon Ross’s or dozens of others throughout our history. Where would this community be without all of us that care enough about it to come to activities like EOF and learn what opportunities and challenges are facing our economy in the future, so that we can plan to succeed? You are all leaders. Everyone plays an important role in this community. It’s our time to come together with a common vision for, and a common voice defining, what our home is and will be. It is time that we took the reins and define who we are,

what we want to be and what is good for us and our children. Now that’s a BOLD idea. In a study about nations, it was asked, is a nation’s positive image of its future a function of its success or is its success a function of its positive image of its future? What they found was, in all cases, significant vision preceded significant success. Many nations began their climb to greatness without the right resources, population base or strategic advantages. What they did have was a detailed, extensive and significant vision of what they could become. This is also true about communities, busi-

as well as significantly decreased productivity affecting a fairly hefty segment of our society. As many as 30% of those who have contracted COVID may sustain a productivity drop up to three times lower than normal. These two factors will have a significant economic impact. Over time the full effect of this will become more obvious. Could we have done a better job at this? Certainly. Sadly, as a developed country, the U.S. served as one of the worst examples in terms of sheer infection numbers and death. Our country certainly had the ability to be one of the best, and without

disrupting our economy. All that was needed were masks and vaccinations. Where we fell short was a uniform willingness to use them. Our inability to behave even as well as a kindergarten class led to the statistics at the top of this article and the aftermath we will likely sustain now for decades to come. By exercising our free will at the wrong time, often at the expense of others, we probably didn’t avoid an economic calamity, we’ve possibly just delayed it. Certainly, everyone wants to put this chapter of world history behind us, and we will. I’d like to think we learned something from all of this, that

maybe we’ll be better prepared for the next virus and respond to it more appropriately. This may be just wishful thinking. As they say, history repeats itself. Already, funding has been cut worldwide for COVID relief and care. Vaccinations and testing are no longer free, case tracing and variant identification are being phased out. Perhaps we are declaring victory and putting on the brakes just a bit too soon. I’m just as happy as anyone to have COVID finally not be the daily headliner, but I don’t think we’re ready to turn our backs on it yet.

nesses and even you. So, how about helping detail our vision for Oregon’s Bay Area. What are the most noticeable differences you would like to see here in the next 10 years? What would be different? How will the population mix differ from what it is now? What lifestyle changes have taken place? How will these differences affect your city? How will local government be different? What would it be like to live here? What would be the same? I’m asking each of you to take some time, put some thought into it and detail your vision for our home. Use some of your

BOLD ideas in the plan. This is an open book test, so get as much help from your family and friends as you want. Then let’s share our thoughts and dreams. Next constructing a plan to do something about them. This is really the first step in creating our own future. So, like the old hymn, we can truly “brighten the corner where you are”. Remember our business is helping your business and like us on Facebook. (Timm Slater is executive director of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce.

PET LOST AND FOUND WE CLEARLY

Adopt Me!

Adopt Me!

LOVE OUR PETS Breed:

Breed: Domestic Shorthair

Alaskan Malamute & Great Pyrenees Mix

Age/Gender: 1 year, Male

Buck

Age/Gender: 3 Years, Female

Buck is sweet and loving, doesn’t chase chickens or ducks, is not food aggressive, plays well with other dogs, does well on a leash, and does not get on furniture unless told he can. He doesn’t respond well to his name and cannot be left alone for more than a few hours or he has an accident. He doesn’t know basic commands yet, and would do best with just one other playful dog in the household, as he needs lots of attention.

Call: 541-269-1989 • Email: foccas@coosanimals.org

Mitzy

The original owner of Mitzy, and her daughter Mittens, is very ill and can no longer care for them. They are scared out of their little cat minds right now, just like a lot of other cat here in Kohl’s Cat House. Please adopt, and save a life, if not two. Indoor only homes, as they cannot survive outside on their own. Mitzy will need a quiet home, with owners able to provide lots of patience and love.

How to make aging pets more comfortable Pets are valued members of many families, and their owners typically do everything they can to ensure their furry friends live as comfortably as possible. Care becomes even more important as pets get older. Just like people, aging pets may eat less and sleep more. They may have reduced stamina and even experience stiffness when getting up from sleep. Certain pets may experience failing eyesight, hearing loss and/or incontinence. According to an American Pet Products Association survey, 67 percent of U.S. households have a pet and will have to cope with that pet becoming a senior at some point. Senior animals might need a little extra help as they age, particularly with regard to comfort.

Have You

Lost

These tips can help. • Visit the vet more often. Senior pets may need to see the vet more frequently than they used to. Pets typically visit the vet every year. Senior pets may require two visits per year. Speak with a veterinarian about how often your aging pet should come in for checkups. Checkups can help identify illnesses earlier and ensure any aches and pains are addressed immediately. • Invest in comfort devices. Pets may need items that can accommodate aches and pains or other conditions. For example, aging pets may benefit from a high quality orthopedic pet bed. Pet strollers and raised food bowls also can make aging pets’ lives a little more comfortable.

• Ensure ample protection against the elements. Aging pets may feel the weather more than younger pets. They may need sweaters and coats or booties to protect their paws from the snow and ice. Cooling or heating mats may improve comfort indoors. • Purchase animal diapers. Some senior pets may not be able to control themselves. Diapers and absorbent pads can keep them dry and prevent soiling around the house. • Help the animal lose weight. Pets should maintain a healthy body weight, which can relieve pressure on joints and reduce risk for certain illnesses, including difficulty breathing and skin irritations.
