Gloria Dei plans affordable housing project in Coos Bay More than 50 affordable homes will soon be built next to church That’s the news Gloria Dei Lutheran Church revealed Thursday after the congregation voted unanimously to use 2.3 acres of land donated to the church to build housing. Pastor Alyssa Augustson announced the church is partnering with Northwest Housing Alternatives to build up to 52 affordable housing units on the land next to the church. The property was donated to the church in 2019 by global businessman Dennis Beetham. Augustson said the mission of Gloria Dei is “Gathered in Christ, we are called to bring light to our community.” She said the housing project will be instrumental in bringing the light to the area. “Gloria Dei has a long history of service to our community through feeding programs and other community efforts,” Augustson said. “We see this effort as a natural next step in our ministry to the community. The church has spent the past year working closely with local governments, individuals and
groups like the Housing Action Team to identify the best use of the property and ultimately, the most suitable company to partner with. The church said they have found many people willing to help in an effort to meet a growing need in the area. “Recent Coos Bay zoning changes, and a willingness of numerous individuals to visit our site and offer advice made this possible,” Lot Committee chair Ken Denton explained. When considering housing for low-income people, the church decided the best way to move forward was to partner with Northwest Housing Alternatives. Founded in 1982, NHA is a not-for-profit developer of affordable housing in Oregon. Their mission is to create opportunity through housing. To that end, NHA develops, builds and manages rental housing designed for Oregonians with limited incomes. These homes help families live healthy and stable lives, allow older adults to age in place and give people with special needs a dignified residence. Along with providing affordable housing, NHA provides services that connect tenants to critical health and community resources, and works to prevent homelessness before it begins. Northwest Housing Alternatives owns and operates over
2,100 apartments in over 100 properties in Oregon, including in Florence. They recently signed an agreement with Coos Bay and Coos County to develop affordable housing at the old Englewood School site. Affordable housing relies on state and federal grants designated for that purpose. The resultant housing is open to persons earning less than 60 percent of the county’s annual income. Currently that’s about $27,000 a year for individuals and $38,000 a year for a family of four. “The congregation voted unanimously to partner in planning the actual development, and then sell the property to NHA to build, manage and maintain the property,” said Linda Strine, president of the Council. “The church is very excited about this project.” The planning and development process is expected to take about three years. Coos Bay Mayor Joe Benetti said he was thrilled to hear the church’s announcement and their choice of Northwest Housing as a partner. “It’s wonderful. Northwest Housing does a great job,” Benetti said. “It’s a need that needs to be filled. It’s wonderful. It’s needed in all aspects and definitely on the low income and the moderate income for people. I’m glad it’s getting done.”
Elliott State Forest bill signed into law
The World file photo
Governor Kate Brown signed SB1546 into law last week, which decouples the Elliott State Forest from the Common Schools Fund and gives Oregon State University the authority to manage the forest as a research forest.
By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
With one swipe of her pen, Gov. Kate Brown officially removed the Elliott State Forest from the state’s Common School Fund. On Wednesday, Brown held a signing ceremony to keep the forest that takes up large parts of Coos and Douglas counties in public hands. The Legislature passed the law in its short session, agreeing to send millions to the Common School Fund in order to remove the Elliott State Forest from the funding mechanism. “Some here thought the Elliott Forest would not contribute to the future of Oregon’s education system, but through this decoupling effort, the full value of the
Elliott Forest will be invested in Oregon school children for decades to come,” Brown said while surrounded by many supporters of the bill. During her comments, Brown thanked many people who worked to put together the legislation that protects the forest while also providing state funding to the schools fund. “This bill is the product of a lot of hard work, frank conversations and collaboration to find common ground and an enduring solution that serves the collective good,” Brown said. “It was literally years in the making, but this bill brings the Land Board’s vision to life. “Together we have found a way to sustain the Common
Schools Fund and keep the Elliott Forest public. All while protecting the Elliott’s diverse habitats, guaranteeing long term access to the forest and keeping a door open for economic opportunity for the South Coast.” Under the state’s plan, Oregon State University will manage the Elliott State Forest while maintaining public access with trails, parks and more. “The Elliott State Forest will have a lasting legacy as a research forest that will contribute so much to the development of knowledge around forestry and environmental stewardship,” Brown said. “OSU has the best school of forestry in the country, and hopefully the addition of this research forest will ensure they Please see ELLIOTT Page A2

Curry County Commissioner Court Boice is running for governor in the Republican primary because there are important issues he wants to talk about on a bigger stage.
Dr. Bud Pierce addresses a crown while making a campaign stop at Abby’s Pizza in Coos Bay.
Boice has no dreams of being governor, but he hopes to make a difference
Pierce confident heading into final weeks of primary
[ [[ [ By DAVID RUPKALVIS
By DAVID RUPKALVIS
With more than 20 people running for the open governor’s seat, Court Boice may stand alone in that he really isn’t planning to win. But Boice is taking his run for governor very seriously. A current county commission in Curry County, Boice said his goal in joining the campaign is to use the larger pulpit of a statewide race to make sure important issues facing Curry County and other smaller counties are heard. And it’s not the first time Boice has used the tactic. After the catastrophic Chetco Bar and Klondike wildfires, Boice ran for the District 4 seat in Congress in 2018, with a message of preventing the massive wildfires that threatened Brookings and Agness. And he said being able to spread that message worked. After the two big blazes in 2017 and 2018 burned 360,000 acres, Curry County has lost less than 300 acres over the last three wildfire seasons. “It’s something I felt like I had to do,” Boice said. “I ran against Congressman DeFazio and it got me closer to his staff and it got me closer to the two senators. And it worked.” Boice said his No. 1 priority remains fixing problems in Curry County, and as a result, he has very few campaign trips outside the county planned. But he still intends to make his voice heard. The issues he is focusing on in the Republican primary include housing, law enforcement, water, family values, constitutional protections, timber harvest, watersheds, fish, wildlife, rivers and, as always, fire prevention. Since he is in the middle of is second term as Curry County commissioner, Boice said running for governor will not impact his ability to serve his county. He said he really has no aspirations for higher political office, but his ability to speak out in the governor’s race gives rural Oregon a voice. “I’ve built excellent relationships around Oregon and they’re paying close attention to our issues,” Boice said. “We’re gaining positive work on our housing, fire and other important concerns impacting the Curry people, and we are succeeding.” Boice attended a Timber Unity debate earlier this month and he said his goal is to continue speaking boldly any time he gets a chance. Perhaps the biggest issue
Six years after he won the Republican primary and lost a close race to Gov. Kate Brown, Dr. Bud Pierce feels like the timing is right to take the next big step. During a campaign stop in Coos Bay last week, Pierce said despite the crowded field in the Republican primary he is confident heading into the final weeks of campaigning. “It comes down to continuing to work the process,” he said. “We have pretty darn good support in the medical community. It really comes down to telling people who you are, what you stand for and what you believe, and leave it to them. I want people to know the authentic Bud.” Pierce said his past experience gives him an edge in the crowded field. “That’s an advantage,” he said. “When we look at polling, I have name recognition over 0% and everyone else is under 10%.” While many of the issues facing Oregon are similar to 2016, Pierce said there is a difference in the political climate. An oncologist in Salem, Pierce said six years ago none of his patients ever discussed his campaign. This year, he said more than half want to talk politics. “It’s very different compared to 2016,” he said. “There was some interest in the Republican primary. As soon as the election happened, the interest went away. The Republicans didn’t really think they could win.” Pierce said voters around the state have similar concerns - public safety, homelessness, cancel culture, election integrity and a natural-resources based economy. Pierce said more and more people are interested in having Oregon produce its own rather than rely on others. “I think people are realizing with the pandemic and supply chain crisis, we need to do it here,” Pierce said. “Food production, mineral production have got to be done somewhere so it might as well be done here.” As far as public safety, Pierce said the current state leaders have it all wrong. But it can be fixed. “It’s going to take effective policing, and it’s going to take people who break the law being arrested and being punished in a real way,” Pierce said. With so much riding on the election, Pierce said he stands out because he is not interested in accolades or attention.

Advance tickets are available for purchase at https://www.BandonEvents.org through April 20. Tickets will also be available at the door on the night of the concert.

In Bandon, Tien looks forward
to a program of (mostly) preludes, pairing Chopin’s 24 Preludes, Op. 28 with Scriabin’s 24 Preludes, Op. 11. The audience can also anticipate a taste of Rachmaninoff to round out the program. Born in Taiwan, Tien Hsieh began early musical training with her mother, Sylvia. Currently a California resident, she has enjoyed a far-ranging career as recitalist, concerto soloist and chamber musician, with recital appearances throughout North America, Europe and China. Accolades include the Los Angeles International Liszt Competition, Li-Ching Cultural & Educational Foundation Grant, Distinguished Artist Award from Artists International Presentations; plus a cover feature in the “Sacramento Talent Magazine” and recital selected by “The San Francisco Examiner” Memorable Concerts of 2013.
She has been heard on radio stations in the U.S. and Canada, and her television appearances include PBS for the International Piano Festival in Houston, Texas and a nationwide TV commercial for Van de Kamp fish sticks! As a scholarship student at Manhattan School of Music, she received a Master of Music degree and Professional Studies under the tutelage of Marc Silverman and was recipient of the Roy M. Rubinstein award and Bettingen Corporation Grant. She received a Bachelor of Music degree as full scholarship student at University of Houston, studying with Abbey Simon and Ruth Tomfohrde.

Want to farm? Get a cash register By DAVE MARSTON In 1991, when Lee Bradley started farming near Paonia in the North Fork Valley of Colorado, he was hired to manage a fruit farm owned by the coal company, Cyprus Coal Corp. Mine bosses gave him a ridiculously hard goal: Make money. Bradley decided to focus on marketing. “We shined the apples and sold them wherever we could,” he says. With the pressure on him and his wife Kathy, they also opened a farm stand inside their leased barn close to a highway. “At first, we were only going to sell what we produced. But people had money, so we scrambled, grabbing local products from everywhere to have more for people to buy.” A few years later, in 1996, Homestead Meats, a local, natural beef (no additives) cooperative, began, with only five families involved. Plant Manager Gary Peebles recalls that everyone agreed to “keep it small and try the idea.” Now six families strong, he says, “No one thought we’d have 40 employees or a packing plant.” Not quite all grass-fed, the beef is finished with grain, “ensuring consistency and marbling,” says Peebles. Consumers got on board, as many people have become increasingly concerned about how the beef they buy is produced. Now, Peebles reports, Homestead Meats just bought Callaway Packing, which doubles their production to 80 local animals processed weekly and sold throughout Western Colorado. Best of all, they are no longer subject to the commodity market, where 85% of beef is processed by four corporations. Stories like this apparently make Delta County a model, attracting young farmers and ranchers. Thirty percent of Delta County’s farmers were considered “new and beginning” farmers in the 2017 USDA farm survey, and most are pursuing natural but not strict “USDA organic” practices. When the documentary, The Real Dirt on Farmer John, played at the Telluride Film Festival in 2005, few Coloradans had heard of Community Sponsored Agriculture, which asks dedicated consumers to pay farmers up front for weekly boxes of food. Fast forward 17 years, and hundreds of CSAs, as they’re called serve cities and rural areas in Colorado, reports Farmshares. info, including several CSAs in
the North Fork Valley. The widespread availability of natural produce and meat wasn’t always a given. For decades, most products grown in the North Fork Valley were shipped to cities. Today, it’s resort towns like Aspen and Crested Butte that see North Fork Valley food and wine at their farmer’s markets or in their CSAs. Bradley recalls a meeting 20 years ago of the newly formed Valley Organic Growers Association (VOGA), where he doled out some advice that gave the up-and-coming juice maven, Jeff Schwarz, a hot idea. “Clean up your farm, get a cash register and you can sell stuff to the public right there,” Bradley recalls telling Schwarz, whose Big B’s Juices now processes 7.5 million pounds of apples annually for juice and cider, much of which he sells directly to the public at his outdoor restaurant. Schwartz scoops up every available apple locally and imports the rest from Washington. Today, what Schwarz and Bradley have in common is that their thriving businesses sell a wide variety of food, wine, and diverse crafts. Exploring either place can turn into a daylong event. “I think it’s all about knowing your farmer,” says Bradley. “People wander around the farm. They see how you operate and pick stuff themselves, which gains trust.” He is not certified organic, saying that the cost is too much and ties his hands when pests invade. And the best part? Young people who want to farm see local opportunity. “A business called The Painted Vineyard is getting started close to me,” says Bradley. It will have a tasting room, a B&B and a camping area, and Bradley figures its customers will also be his. Meanwhile, near retirement at 70 but still farming, thanks to his son, Ryan, Bradley continues to help newcomers to the valley. One example is Storm Cellars Winery, a Sommelier-trained couple from Denver, run by Jayme Henderson and Steve Seese. They came to the valley knowing wine but not much about planting vines, repairing equipment, or making wine from scratch. “We kept going back to Bradley,” says Henderson, “and he kept helping us out.” Dave Marston is the publisher of Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to lively discussion about the West.
Letters to the Editor Vote yes for Charleston Voting yes for Measure 6-194 will help unincorporated Charleston through visitors and tourists staying in Charleston area motel, RV and state parks and VRBO’s as they would pay a short term lodging tax. Residents of Coos County would not pay this tax. This Charleston area short term lodging tax will benefit Charleston by increased public safety patrols in Charleston. There would be opportunity for a new visitor center (the current one is in an old laundromat). Coos Bay, North Bend have this short term lodging tax and reap the benefits but Charleston does not. With a short term lodging tax for Charleston, tourism dollars
would be increased and Charleston would contribute in the same way Coos Bay and North Bend does to the Visitor and Convention Bureau in tourism promotion. Additionally, funds would be available for cleaning up derelict RV’s and vehicles through out Coos County as one third of funding would go to Coos County. For all of Coos County there would be enhanced public safety and code enforcement. The Charleston Merchants Association and many local lodging providers support this measure. We ask you to help Charleston and Vote Yes on Measure 6-194. Margery Whitmer Charleston resident and 28 year Charleston business owner

A new normal will take time, not politics
By LLEWELLYN KING InsideSources.com
Loud detonations are going off in the economy. When the debris settles, new realities will emerge. We won’t return to the status quo ante, although that is what politicians like to promise. After great cataclysmic events — wars, natural disasters or the impact of new technologies — we need to acknowledge the realities and find the opportunities. The inflation that is shaking the world is the inflammation that arises as markets seek equilibrium — as markets always do. The greatest disrupter has been the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ramifications of how it has reshaped economies and societies are still evolving. For example, will we need as much office space as we did pre-pandemic? Is the delivery revolution the new normal? Russia’s war in Ukraine has added to the pandemic-caused changes before they have fully played out. They, in turn, were playing out against the larger imperatives of climate change, and the sweeping adjustments that are underway to head off climate disaster. Some political actions have exacerbated the turbulence of the economic situation, but they aren’t the root causes, just additional economic inflammation. These include former president Donald Trump’s tariffs and President Biden’s mindless moves against pipelines, followed by attempts to lower gasoline prices, or wean us from natural gas while supplying more natural gas to Europe. In the energy crisis (read
shortage) of the 1970s, I invited Norman Macrae, the late, great deputy editor of The Economist, to give a speech at the annual meeting of The Energy Daily, which I had created in 1973 — and which was then a kind of bible to those interested in energy and the crisis. Macrae, who had a profound influence in making The Economist a power in world thinking, shared a simple economic verity with the audience: “Llewellyn has invited me here to discuss the energy crisis. That is simple: the consumption will fall, and the supply will increase. Poof! End of crisis. Now, can we talk about something interesting?” Of the many, many experts I have brought to podiums around the world, never has one been as warmly received as Macrae. Not only did the audience stand and applaud, but many also climbed on their chairs and applauded. I’m not sure Washington’s venerable Shoreham Hotel had ever seen anything like that, at least not at a business conference. In today’s chaotic situation with political accusations clashing with supply realities, the temptation is to find a political fix while the markets seek out the new balance. Politicians want to be seen to do something, no matter what, and before it has been established what needs to be done. An example of this was Biden increasing the allowed amount of ethanol derived from corn and added to gasoline. It is so small an addition that it won’t affect the price at the pump, but it might affect the price of meat at the supermarket. Corn is important in raising cattle and feeding large parts of the world.
There is a global grain crisis as a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, which is a huge grain producer. Parts of the world, especially Africa, face starvation. The last thing that is needed is to sop up American grain production by burning it as gasoline. We are, in the United States, gradually moving from fossil fuels to renewables, but this is going to move our dependence offshore, and has the chance of creating new cartels in precious metals and minerals. Essential to this move is the lithium-ion battery, the heart of electric vehicles and battery storage for renewables, and its tenuous supply chain. Lithium has increased in price nearly 500 percent in one year. It is so in demand that Elon Musk has suggested he might get into the lithium mining business. But lithium isn’t the only key material coming from often unstable countries: There is cobalt, mostly supplied from the Democratic Republic of the Congo; nickel, mostly sourced in Indonesia; and copper, where supply comes primarily from Chile. Across the board, supplies will increase, and demand will decline. Equilibrium will arrive, but vulnerability won’t be eliminated. That is an emerging supply chain constant as the economy shifts to the new normal. The aftershocks of the pandemic and Russia’s war in Ukraine will be felt for a long time — and endured as inflation. ABOUT THE WRITER Llewellyn King is executive producer and host of “White House Chronicle” on PBS. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.
Letters to the Editor Election fraud in Coos County Any one paying attention, as they drive around Coos County, can see the pattern of campaign signs being stolen, targeting conservative candidates. This is not a strategic prank. It is illegal activity; criminal theft and vandalism. Every election cycle, a few folks are caught and charged with this crime, but it continues to be commonly done. Nationally, allegations and investigations of election fraud have been continually in the news, since the January 6th protests in D.C., which centered around the sudden late night shifts in the 2020 vote counts, that mysteriously emerged in many counties using digital machine tallying and mail-in ballots. The left and their media allies have been denying
and dismissing all such allegations, for these 17 months. However, their sign-theft crews lend obvious credibility to the suspicions of election fraud. If people can see with their eyes that criminals are stealing the signs of conservatives, is validates the suspicions and growing evidence that the same elements would also, for the same purpose, steal, harvest, forge and fabricate ballots, in a campaign to commit criminal election fraud. All over America, and even right here in Coos County, there are active election fraud investigations. Here, election integrity investigations have now uncovered an unprecedented ten-fold increase in the number of adjudicated ballots, requiring hand counting. The next day,
after the records requests were filed, the county clerk suddenly resigned, after which the county attorney explained that all the pertinent election documents for the 2020 election suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, with no back-up copies. That violates state and federal laws requiring these records to be preserved and available for 22 months. You don’t think serious election fraud could have happened, here or elsewhere? The campaign sign thieves are demonstrating the potential that election integrity is a looming threat which imperils our democracy. At the least, we must return to paper ballots and polling stations, with mail-in reserved for only those who lack mobility. Stan Avery Bandon

Letters to the Editor I say no I won’t be voting for Rod Taylor for anything, even though I have known him for years. Our children went to school together and were friends, as happens in a small town. His two ex wives are friend and acquaintance of mine. By his own words in a heroic tale of himself (World Newspaper January 2021), he places himself on the steps, at the door and inside the Capitol, with a person stealing a painting during the insurrection against our democracy’s right to the peaceful transfer of power. He travelled 3,000 miles to do it.
That may be stimulating for some, but for me it only brings to mind the horrific behavior of the Brownshirts, the assault division, of pre WWII . Martha Lane Bandon Speed up the process I read about the opposition of alternative transportation options in the community from the current and former owners of Yellow Cab Taxi. I chuckled, not because their ideas were without merit, but because of who was espousing those ideas.
First, while Yellow Cab may drug screen their drivers, it seems they don’t bother to train their drivers in the safe operation of a moving vehicle (speeding, lack of turn signals, swerving, cutting off cars, double parking on 101 in downtown, I’ve seen it all). I’ve witnessed Yellow Cab drivers using their daytime running lamps at night, which means the tail lights aren’t on, implying that the driver wasn’t trained on how to safely operate that specific car or van. This doesn’t mean every driver for Yellow Cab is a poor driver, but
it suggests the owners aren’t selective about skill or competence behind the wheel. These issues make me question whether their drivers undergo a road test before hire, but given that they don’t run on the slogan “we train and road test our drivers,” my assumption is no. Second, a complaint about the safety of the vehicles driven by private contractors? Yellow Cab has fleet vehicles which do not hold a candle to many newer vehicles as it pertains to detailed crash ratings. Enough’s enough. This company has spent decades stifling
competitors in this area by using whatever leverage they can. To suggest that Yellow Cab is thinking about anything other than their local monopoly is laughable. Coos Bay, even if you heed some of their suggestions for restrictions or inspections, please speed up the process to allow Uber, Lyft, and their contractors to operate. The area needs the competition, and those who could use the extra cash shouldn’t need to start on third base to obtain it. Nick Richards North Bend

New study provides guidance for reconsidering harmful place names in national parks By Molly Rosbach Guest Article
In a new study examining the origins of more than 2,000 place names in 16 U.S. national parks, researchers have developed a tool for evaluating and changing names that may be harmful or rooted in white supremacy. Oregon State University associate professor Natchee Barnd is a co-author of “Words Are Monuments,” published last week in the journal People and Nature. The intent of the paper is to open a conversation about place names, rather than defaulting to the assumption that those names are neutral, he said. “There’s a process by which those names are chosen,” said Barnd, whose work focuses partly on Indigenous geography. “And if we’re operating within a system that has been grounded in white supremacy, it’s probably going to reflect that — some really explicitly and vehemently, and some by default or accidentally, such as the fact that a name is in English.” That doesn’t mean all names need to be immediately changed, he said, but researchers sought to provide a tool people can use to think about how those names came to be. While the work focused on national parks, the authors expect the categorization tool they developed to be applicable for people or institutions in any location seeking to improve naming practices.
For the study, researchers analyzed 2,241 place names in 16 national parks across the U.S., from Acadia in Maine to Hawai’i Volcanoes in Hawai’i. They created “decision trees” to classify name meanings into different categories, which allowed them to group together place names with similar origins so they could find and describe patterns in naming across parks in a consistent way. Classifications included language origin; derogatory (involving use of a racial slur); erasure (such as replacement of Indigenous names); and dimensions of racism and colonialism. All 16 parks contained at least one place or feature named after people who supported racist ideologies, capitalized on Indigenous colonization and/or participated in acts of genocide, the study said. Researchers found 107 natural features with traditional Indigenous place names. They classified 214 names as appropriation, where Indigenous or Indigenous-sounding names were used incorrectly and without Indigenous input or consent; and 254 names that memorialize settler colonialism, such as Cadillac Mountain in Acadia, named for a French colonizer. They found 21 names that commemorate individuals who espoused racist ideas, including Hayden Valley in Yellowstone, named for Ferdinand Hayden, a geologist who wrote that unless Native Americans were forcefully assimilated, “they must ultimately be exterminated.”
More nuanced were the 364 names that researchers classified as European (non-Indigenous) in origin with no record of their meaning, including descriptive names like Clear Creek and Long Pond. “One goal is to open up the conversation and getting to the place of saying that these names are not neutral; they are values being represented in some way,” Barnd said. “Maybe we find out that the name has this whole history we don’t know about. It’s about trying to find intention, to trace a lineage. But you have to use a scientific process to sort through these names.” This undertaking should be a collaborative process, he said. For example, in Oregon, a coalition of local agencies led by the Marys Peak Alliance recently worked with the Siletz and Grand Ronde tribes to pick names for some unnamed creeks on Marys Peak, just west of Corvallis. The next step, after reconsidering
Obituaries William “Doc” Powell October 9, 1930 – March 24, 2022
As the Coos Bay Police officers walked past his hospital room, Doc threw his hands in the air, and exclaimed, “I DIDN’T DO IT”!!! Very few could match Doc’s humor or accomplishments.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren WOMAN RUNS OUT OF PATIENCE WITH BOYFRIEND’S ADDICTION
DEAR ABBY: I have been with my boyfriend for five years. We do not live together, nor do we share any children (we have three grown kids from previous marriages). He has been a smoker since he was very young, and when we got together, he said he would like to quit. Well, it still hasn’t happened. As the child of an addict (alcohol) I understand how difficult quitting can be. Luckily, my father quit cold turkey 20 years ago and never relapsed. Abby, I do not want a future with a smoker. The smell of stale tobacco is unappealing. It’s not exactly a breath freshener, and the health consequences are dire. Am I within my rights to put my foot down? I brought up quitting this week in response to him lamenting that he looks aged beyond his years (which is true). He became very defensive and made me seem like a monster for asking for a real timeline about quitting. He struggles with anxiety and thinks trying to quit will send him over the edge, and I would be the one pushing him. How do I navigate future conversations? -CHOKING IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR CHOKING: Tell your boyfriend you care about him and about his health, but you can no longer tolerate watching him damage it because of his tobacco addiction. If he doesn’t already know that the smell on his breath, body and clothing is offensive, point it out, and also that secondhand smoke is unhealthy for you. Then tell him he has a choice to make: It’s the smoking or you. The decision is his. There are many effective smoking cessation programs available, and he should discuss them with his physician, who may be delighted to know he is interested. P.S. In this day and age many women -- and men -- simply “swipe left” if they encounter a smoker.
DEAR ABBY: I am currently in a relationship that is approaching the seven-year mark. We dated in our 20s and rekindled in our 40s. We live together, but I’m afraid we are growing apart. Due to health issues, I don’t work; he works second shift. I cry easily and have always been an emotional person. When there are disagreements, we can usually work it out. My problem is, I think about the discussion later and have more to say or ask. He then tells me we have already talked about it and he’s not discussing it again. He says I “overanalyze everything.” It’s not that. I just have another question or something I left out. His refusal to talk makes me feel as though things are unresolved. He just downright won’t talk about something we have already discussed! Please help me to understand if I am too demanding and should just leave it alone. -UNANSWERED IN ILLINOIS DEAR UNANSWERED: It isn’t “too demanding” to want to discuss something further. If revisiting the issue would rekindle the disagreement, your partner is far too controlling. If you have a question, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to ask without it leading to conflict. To deny you that opportunity seems disrespectful. Give it more time after a disagreement and decide if it’s really necessary to revisit the subject. When you do, avoid reapproaching it in a way that could be perceived as an invitation to another argument. ----------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

place names and potentially replacing them with traditional Indigenous history in mind, will be returning ownership to the tribes as well, Barnd said. National parks provide a perfect starting point for this process, he said. The parks have a long history of co-management with tribes, including deferring to tribal knowledge for how best to manage the land and resources, and substantial numbers of tribal members working in national parks. “There are places where we can do things differently,” Barnd said. “Names are part of how we create the world we live in and believe in and understand. They’re not just there; we’re creating that meaning, which is also creating the meaning of ourselves.” Co-authors on the study were Bonnie McGill, Stephanie Borelle, Grace Wu, Kurt Ingeman and Jonathan Uhuad Koch from the Society for Conservation Biology in Washington, D.C.

Marshfield baseball, softball teams win league openers The World Marshfield’s baseball and softball teams won their Sky-Em League openers at home against Cottage Grove last week as they started the five-week stretch that will determine the league’s teams that advance to the postseason. Marshfield’s baseball team beat the Lions 10-2 and the softball team rallied in the seventh to win 10-9 over Cottage Grove. Both teams were swept later in the week by Marist Catholic, leaving them 1-2 in league entering this week. The baseball team got off to a slow start against Cottage Grove before scoring five runs in the fourth inning and going on to win. DJ Daugherty had two hits, two runs and two RBIs and Drake Rogers had a double and triple and an RBI. Dom Montiel had a double, two RBIs and a run and Wyatt Peck and Riley Murphy each scored two runs. Cobin Bouska hit a solo home run. Rogers also was strong on the mound, striking out seven in nearly three scoreless innings before he was pulled as his pitch count rose so he could pitch again against Marist Catholic. Ryder Easton, Daugherty and Johnny Calvert also pitched for the Pirates in the win. The Pirates spoiled a strong pitching performance by Montiel in the first game against the Spartans when they had seven errors, several in a seven-run second inning that led to Marist Catholic’s 9-1 win. Montiel also drove in Marshfield’s only run, scoring Daugherty. “We had some good swings,
but hit the ball to people,” Marshfield coach Floyd Montiel said. In the second game, the Pirates hit better, but gave up too many walks. “Their timely hits was the difference,” Montiel said of the Spartans’ 16-10 win. Daugherty, Rogers, Montiel and Joseph Herbert each had two hits for the Pirates and Daugherty, Bouska and Herbert scored two runs each. Rogers drove in four runs. This week, weather permitting, the Pirates are at Elmira on Tuesday and host Junction City for a doubleheader Friday. TIGERS WIN TWO: Bandon kept its record perfect in the Sunset Conference with a 4-0 win over Toledo on Thursday and a 5-3 win against Myrtle Point the next day. Colton Siewell was spectacular in the win over Toledo, striking out 16 and walking none in a complete-game win for the Tigers. He kept his pitch count down to 90 pitches. “Colton had his best outing of the year,” Bandon coach Jay Ferrell said. Conner Devine had a triple and Will Panagakis a double and Chris Butler and Parker Lang each had two hits and drove in a run. In the win over Myrtle Point, Dylan Kamph had a single and double and drove in two runs and Devine had two hits and drove in a run. Danny Cabrera had a double and made his biggest contributions on the mound, stifling the Bobcats over the final four innings, striking out nine and allowing no hits and no walks. “He threw very well while
filling up the strike zone,” Ferrell said. Bandon, now 5-0 in league play, hosts Siletz Valley on Tuesday and Umpqua Valley Christian in a big nonleague game Thursday before wrapping up the first round of league play with a game at Gold Beach on Friday. Gold Beach is second in the league standings at 3-1 after beating Myrtle Point 12-2 and Reedsport 10-3. The Panthers host Coquille on Tuesday. The Red Devils are tied for third at 3-2 after beating Siletz Valley 19-3 on Friday but losing at Reedsport 9-4 on Saturday. The Red Devils host Myrtle Point on Friday this week. Reedsport also is 3-2 going into a home game against Toledo on Tuesday and a game at Waldport on Friday. LANCERS EDGE BULLDOGS: Churchill rallied from a 5-0 deficit to edge North Bend 6-5 on Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader. The Bulldogs led the nightcap 2-0 when it was suspended due to bad weather at Churchill High School. Luke Wheeling pitched the entire first game for North Bend, striking out six and walking two. He also had an RBI triple and a sacrifice fly. The Lancers won the game with two runs in the bottom of the seventh. North Bend is now 1-6 in Midwestern League play heading into a home game against Thurston on Tuesday. The Bulldogs also host Churchill next Tuesday. Both midweek games are considered nonleague games. North Bend is gaining valuable experience with a roster with no seniors and missing
two key players due to injuries — Sam Mickelson and Hunter Wheeling. SOFTBALL MARSHFIELD RALLIES: The Pirates came from behind to beat Cottage Grove in the league opener played on the turf field at Southwestern Oregon Community College. “We are extremely appreciative to Megan Corriea for allowing us to utilize SWOCC’s turf field to get our first league game in,” Marshfield coach Chelsea Burns said. “The girls have competed in some terrible weather this season and their toughness has really shown through. “It was awesome to see the girls battle back after being down by two runs in the seventh and get the win.” Paige Macduff led the offense with two hits and four RBIs. Makenna Johnson had three runs and Paige Reigard and Phe Macduff had two runs each. Unfortunately, the Pirates couldn’t keep up against Marist Catholic, ranked first in the Class 4A coaches poll, falling 10-0 and 13-1. Makenna Johnson and Reigard had the Pirates’ only hits in the twin bill, both in the first game. Jayla Johnson scored the run in the second game after reaching base by a walk. Burns remains confident. “(Tatum) Montiel has done a great job of putting the ball across the plate and letting our defense play,” she said. “Paige Reigard has taken to her new role as our centerfielder and has made some outstanding plays out there.” NORTH BEND SWEEPS CHURCHILL: The Bulldogs took both games in Eugene
against the Lancers on Saturday, winning the opener 11-8 and the nightcap 19-4. Paired with North Bend’s win at North Eugene 19-6 earlier in the week, the team now is on a three-game win streak. Mia Reynon had her first career homer in the opener, a three-run shot to center field, and added two other hits in the game and six RBIs. She also scored two runs, while Rylee Samora had four runs and Emma Spalding three. “Even with the win, we struggled both at the plate and in the field the first game,” North Bend coach John Olson said. “The girls responded in the second game in a huge way. I am not sure we could have hit any better.” Spalding, Reynon, Sarah Shore, Hayden Napier and McKenzie Breakfield all had three hits in the nightcap and Napier and Spalding both had three runs and four RBIs. Reynon also scored three runs and Samora, Allyson Moore and Angel Andrade (as a courtesy runner) all scored two. Shore pitched both games for North Bend. SUNSET CONFERENCE: Toledo won its showdown with Bandon 5-3 on Thursday to take sole possession of the league lead. The Tigers bounced back to beat Myrtle Point 13-0 on Friday to improve to 4-1 in league while Toledo had its fourth league shutout with a 20-0 win at Waldport. Coquille won both its games, 15-5 over Siletz Valley and 8-2 over Reedsport and is 2-3. Reedsport is 2-2 after beating Gold Beach 8-1. Waldport is 3-2, its losses coming against Toledo and Bandon.
North Bend speedsters set Prefontaine record The World COOS BAY — Four North Bend speedsters combined to set one of two new records in the annual Prefontaine Rotary Invitational at Marshfield High School on Saturday, while several South Coast athletes won events during the event, which included nearly 30 schools. Drew Phillips, John Efraimson, Brody Justice and Jason Padgett combined to get the baton around the track in 44.21 seconds to win the 4x100-meter relay in a new meet-record time. The other record came in the boys Prefontaine Mile, where Crater’s Tyrone Gorze crossed the line in 4:20.09 to set a new record. Marshfield’s Alex Garcia-Silver was second in 4:28.44 and later won the 3,000 in 9:05.89. Efraimson, meanwhile, won the 200 meters for North Bend, edging Padgett with a time of 23.21. Padgett, who finished
second in 23.56, also was second in the 100 (11.58) behind Hidden Valley’s Theo Bergman (11.50). Efraimson was second in the 400 (51.27) behind Gavin Cougle of St. Mary’s (50.93). North Bend also got a field events win by Roman Fritz, who has been battling injuries but took the javelin with a throw of 179-2. Teammate Keegan Young was second (161-4). Marshfield got a win in the pole vault by Trent Summers (14-6). Bandon twins Hunter and Trevor Angove each had a second-place finish, Hunter in the pole vault (13-6) and Trevor in the triple jump (42-5 ½). The only double-winner for the boys was Elijah Wytcherley of Glendale, who took the high jump (6-4) and the high hurdles (16.95). He also finished second in the intermediate hurdles (44.31) and placed third in the long jump (20-7 ½).

The winning doubles teams were Emily and Madison West, Haley Reeves and Trinity Barker, Abigail Harper and Kristina Jegleim, and Lauren Hayes and Sierah Martin. In the win over North Eugene, Frank and Knutson won their singles matches and the doubles teams of West and West and Reeves and Wilson were victorious. The match against Grants Pass included 12 contested battles,
giving some of the girls a chance to play a different style. North Bend’s only singles win was by Barker at No. 3 singles, a match that went three sets. Regular doubles players Wilson, Reeves, Jegleim and Harper all played singles. Frank and Knutson, meanwhile, teamed up for a win at No. 1 doubles. West and West also won a doubles match, though they also lost their match at No. 2 doubles.

Dr. Bud Pierce meets with a group of veterans while campaigning in the Republican primary for governor.
Pierce From A1
“I’m someone who wants to get things done,” Pierce said. “I want to achieve public safety. Most of the recognition will go to county commissioners and city councils, and I’m OK with that. The governor is uniquely aligned to get the federal, state, county and local officials together to get it done.” Pierce said he has a plan to combat homelessness that could actually work. “There has to be a shelter bed for every person in the state,” he said. “The shelter is a place where people can work on mental health, alcohol and drug addiction and start to work.” He said if people refuse the help or don’t use it, other stronger steps could

facing rural Oregon is a lack of housing, and Boice said he will make the issue front and center any time he gets to speak. “The biggest issue I have right now, housing is about to outpace fire danger as the biggest issue,” Boice said. “I’m just rattling their cage a little bit. No other state has such restrictive land use laws. I think I can make a difference there. It’s just going to take some time.” While Boice said his top issues remain helping Curry County, he believes having a rural commissioner running can help all the small, rural counties in the state. “That’s been a very

be taken. “I don’t really want to incarcerate people, but you have to have a strong stick,” he said. Pierce said the state also needs to make changes in its public education system. “That’s going to require a lot more effort on behalf of parents, teachers and students,” he said. “I actually started my education at age 5 and ended at 36. You have to have a sequential curriculum so it builds on the previous year. You have to have testing, not to teach to the test, but to be able to gauge how you’re doing.” Pierce said with the problems facing the state, he chose to get involved to find an answer. “The only reason I’m involved in politics is because you can’t be governor without being involved in politics,” he said. “You
put in people who have vast experience, have vast skills and want to solve problems, make people’s lives better. We have plenty of laws now that it’s not OK to hurt people. We have lots of laws to help the homeless.” As the final weeks of the primary come up, Pierce said he will continue to visit communities in the state and will begin an advertising campaign. Then he will trust the voters to make the right choice. “My sole value in running and if elected is to make livers better for the people of Oregon,” Pierce said. “My Christian faith tells me to lead as a servant and do everything that’s legal, ethical and moral to make people’s lives better. That’s what it’s really about.”
motivating part of being here full time,” said of his position in Curry County. “You see other commissioners struggling, you see our board struggling. So you team up. It’s just part of working together and teaming up, and really have a big voice when it comes to Salem.” Boice said even if he never is governor, rural officials can play a big role in how Oregon moves forward. “The division between the rural and the urban is growing and that’s unfortunate,” he said. “In time, someone’s going to come in and bring everyone together. But that’s an education thing. I think the time is getting closer. Even the moderates, even the leaning left, they see Oregon’s in a lot of trouble.”
Boice said he can make a difference through his public service. “If you love people and you’re persistent and you have logic and common sense and statesmanship, people notice,” Boice said. “I have great reputation around the state. I’ve worked very hard for that. I feel very fortunate and very blessed to have those relationships. I don’t want to waste that. The state needs me right now.” Boice said he is not anticipating an upset May 17, but he will use every time until then to make his voice heard. “The chance of me winning the governor’s primary is pretty slim, but that’s not my focus,” he said. “I’m just going to plow ahead and talk about the issues.”

Age/Gender:
Adult, Female
9 Years, Male
Bella is super sweet, very friendly, and loves everyone. She is great with other dogs and we really think she should go to a home with another dog, because she loves to play! She’s a “tank” - so hopefully you have a fairly big dog. The foster owners said she prefers stuffies to chew toys.
Judan
Judan and his brother Juno came to one of our foster moms without their own mom. A mom cat with one kitten helped take care of them. Since there is not enough time to socialize, they are not lap cats. In a patient home, with one on one, they would tame up quickly once they know humans are okay.

a Pet?
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.
