More than 70 rally against abortion restrictions By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
Days after a leak from the Supreme Court revealed the court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, more than 70 protesters descended on the Coos Bay Boardwalk to decry the likely decision. The protesters, men and woman, held signs and chanted, “My body, my choice,” as the protested the decision to move
abortion laws from the federal government to each state. Such a decision will likely ban or greatly restrict abortions in more than half the states. Karen Savage attended the protest after hearing about it from Southern Oregon Coast PRIDE, one of the organizations that sponsored it. She said protesting is a way to make her voice heard. I’m doing this, “because of
what’s happening in the United States,” Savage said. “The erosion of rights that have taken 50-plus years to acquire.” For Savage, there was another reason, too. She said living in a conservative area like Coos County can feel oppressive at times, so it was refreshing to be around others who feel as she does. “I see a lot of trucks out there Please see PROTEST, Page A2

More than 70 people came out to the Coos Bay Boardwalk on Saturday to protest against a Supreme Court decision that could end Roe v. Wade protections for those seeking abortions.
Coos County Elections - county clerk
Hoyle Borgens: I want the public involved brings her B JILL BURKE campaign to South Coast y For The World
Matthew Borgens
Coos Bay resident Matthew Borgens, 31, is one of three candidates vying to become Coos County's next county clerk. The certified nursing assistant, who is non-partisan, faces Julie Brekke, non-partisan, and Diane Rich, Republican, in the May 17 primary. "I really enjoy helping people. I have helped thousands of people from post-surgical to psych issues, and I really enjoy it. I want to try something different,
and I've always been interested in politics," Borgens said. The county clerk is responsible for maintaining public records and processing property transactions, marriage records, and military discharges, supporting the property tax appeals board, and keeping records for county court meetings. Whoever holds the position is also the chief election official of the county. "I have a drive not just to learn, but almost a need for fair and honest and open elections. I think it's vital to our country, to
our county, and to our people," Borgens said. Borgens graduated from North Bend High School and is obtaining a bachelor's degree in business management from Western Governor's University. Before choosing to run, he said he and his wife - with their 4-year-old occasionally chiming in - weighed the pros and cons of leaving his CNA job to work in government. He also spent time with Dede Murphy, the current clerk, to learn more about the job.

Diane Rich
North Bend resident Diane Rich, 59, is one of three candidates looking to become Coos County's next county clerk. The business executive, who is Republican, faces non-partisan candidates Julie Brecke and Matthew Borgens in the May 17 primary. She's campaigned with conservative commissioner candidates Rod Taylor and Pam Lewis. Rich entered the race after trying once before for the position. She'd put her name in to be
considered as the interim clerk after clerk Debbie Heller left before serving a full term. The job went instead to Dede Murphy, a former Coos County clerk and former chair of the Coos County Democratic Party. Rich describes the selection process for the interim clerk as a "fiasco." She said she'd submitted letters of references from millionaires that were never read and that her interview with the commissioners and Heller took maybe nine minutes. "I knew walking out of there that this was not a real job inter-

Brecke is a single mom of a sixth-grader. The family has horses, rafts, hunts, fishes, hikes, walks the dog on the beach, hunts for agates and picks mushrooms.

Her platform includes eliminating mail-in voting, with exceptions for the military or elderly or frail, and more oversight of elections to prevent fraud. "I was never going to be a politician, but this smelled so bad, and no one else stood up. And I figured that at this point in time, I'm going to make a stand, and Please see RICH, Page A3

Julie Brecke
Coos Bay resident Julie Brecke, 42, is among the trio of candidates who want the job as Coos County's next clerk. The school teacher, who is nonpartisan, faces nonpartisan candidate Matthew Borgens and Republican Diane Rich in the May 17 primary. "I was born and raised here, and we spent a lot of time just enjoying that county. When I saw that the clerk's position came up, I thought that that would be
a good fit," Brecke said. "I feel like as a teacher, a lot of the same skills that are needed to be a good teacher are needed to be a good county clerk. So, I feel like that will transfer over well, and it excites me to do something that will have meaning and give me a new challenge." Brecke, a sixth-grade teacher, has taught with the North Bend School District for 14 years. After graduating from Marshfield High School, she went on to earn a bachelor of science degree in education from Eastern Oregon University and a Master's degree

Val Hoyle was certain she found her calling while serving as Oregon’s labor secretary. In that role, she works with businesses and labor unions to find answers that benefit both sides. And she loves it. She had no plan to run for a higher office until she learned Congressman Peter DeFazio was retiring. Then she had to answer a question - stay in a job she loves or run for Congress to protect the work DeFazio has been doing. “That was a question I had to ask myself and my husband,” she said while visiting the South Coast last week. “I love my job, D.C. is a mess and it’s a 24-hour round trip.” When trying to decide what to do, Hoyle said she talked to her cousin, who put it all on the line. “He said, ‘you just told me you thought democracy was under attack. How can you sit on the sideline,’” Hoyle remembered. That’s when she decided to make the run. And after receiving endorsements from DeFazio and both Oregon senators, Hoyle seems like the favorite to win the Democratic nomination for the 4th Congressional seat. If she does, Hoyle will face Republican Alek Skarlatos in the general election in November, with the winner replacing DeFazio. “I believe we benefit from having Peter DeFazio,” Hoyle said. “He’s a fighter and stands up for working people. I think I do much of the same.” Hoyle is quick to point out she is the only candidate in the race that has won a race higher than school board. Before winning the statewide labor commissioner’s seat, she served in the

with stickers on them like ‘Trump won,’ and I feel a little embattled,” Savage said. “I want to see who’s on the side of increasing freedom.” Savage said the Supreme Court decision seems to be final, and she said only the Democrats and progressives can be blamed. “In my mind it’s a done deal,” she said. “I foresaw this coming in the 2020 election. Democrats did not win by a large enough margin. I expect in my life I will not see a woman’s right to choose as a nationwide right. In about half the state in America, women will lose there right to a safe abortion.” The word safe was also key to Jessica Foster, who held a sign reading, “Roe wasn’t the beginning of abortion, it was the end of dying from abortion.” Foster said she put a lot of thought into her message because she wanted to make people, even those opposed to abortion, to think. “For me, personally, it’s part emotional and part logical,” Foster said. “As someone who could be
effected by what it seems like we’re headed toward, I have an insight that other people might not have. Then there’s the logical aspect. Abortion is health care. A pregnant person should have the right to choose. A large part of it is also hypocrisy.” Foster said protesting can lead to change, even unexpected change. “Yes, but maybe not in the way most people think it will happen,” she said. “My philosophy is there are many lanes on the road to revolution, and we can use all the lanes.” Foster said her sign was made in an effort to make people empathize with those who get abortions.

Legislature, where she was the majority leader of the Democrat caucus. Serving in the Legislature at a time where the House was split almost evenly helped Hoyle learn to work with both parties to get things done. “I was an effective enough legislator that when I ran for labor commissioner, I had support from both business and labor,” Hoyle said. “I won both Coos and Curry counties.” Hoyle said during the campaign her focus has been on letting voters see who she is and what she believes. “What we’ve done is focus on what my message is going to be in the gener-

While there is a crowded field in the primary, Hoyle said she believes her experience makes her the best candidate on the Democrat side. “I have a lot of these relationships with federal agencies and especially the Oregon delegation,” she said. “I’ve worked with Senator Wyden and Senator Merkley. That’s why they endorsed me. Out of anyone who’s running, I have far more experience and competency and know what needs to be done.”

I'm going to do a good job for the county because they need somebody to do that," Rich said. Rich, divorced, has raised three children as a single mother. Her middle son, Robert, died at the age of 19. Rich moved to Oregon in 2005 from Utah, first establishing herself in Eugene before moving to Coos County. A graduate of Cottonwood High School, she's worked as a national sales manager, publicity manager, government contract administrator and website builder. A successful run for the clerk's office may be something Rich uses as a launching point for higher office. She said she might one day be interested in serving in the legislature and said she's critical of leaders who sit on foundations and boards and have little comprehension of what it means to live paycheck to paycheck. "We need people who are in government, who have knowledge about how regular people live so that they don't make terrible rules and mistakes that are going to hurt their citizens," Rich said.

training programs for clients like Sandia Labs, NASA and the Social Security Administration. But COVID decimated her business, so she decided to run for the clerk's position. She said it seemed like an excellent way to put her technical skills to improve things for the county. She's also an advocate of more strenuous security measures for casting votes and of in-person voting with identification. She's worried about duplicate votes, votes from non-citizens and inaccurate voter rolls. "We have face recognition. We have iris recognition. These are all available programs, and we have the capability to use them. They're not overpriced at this point in time. So it's a great time to get somebody who has an I.T. background into our system to be sure that the office is made better, that these corrupt details cannot be corrupted anymore," Rich said. Rich said she's running for office because she cares deeply about what's happening in the world, particularly with elections, and wants to ensure things are in order for the next generation. "I have a 4-year-old granddaughter that I want her to have a great life. And we can't have a great life if we continue down this road. Our country is falling apart," Rich said.

protections. "Getting rid of misinformation is going to be important to our democracy because we need to make sure that the voting system stays safe and secure. And if people are sending misinformation out there, then it makes people uncomfortable, so it's very important to me that we educate people on what all of the systems are," Brecke said. Brecke pointed to an October 2022 report from the Oregon Legislative Fiscal Office, a nonpartisan origination, which found that "...the Division obtained 38 criminal convictions for voter fraud out of the 60.9 million ballots in Oregon elections cast over a 19year period. That amounts to a rate of .00006%." "These figures demonstrate that voter fraud is exceedingly rare in Oregon and is no more widespread in vote by mail elections than it is polling place elections," states the LFO report. Brecke said other safeguards ensure sound elections: security plans filed annually with the secretary of state, bar codes specific
to each voter, signature verification and observers of the count. Brecke is passionate about keeping personal views and beliefs out of the workplace, especially in the clerk's office. In addition to her educational background and classroom experience, she said this commitment sets her apart from her challengers. "I think that it's going to take someone who is hardworking and dedicated and who has who is able to read and follow and apply the law. We, as county clerks, it's not our job to create laws. It's our job to know what they are and follow them," Brecke said. She told The World she's ready for the challenge. "I am Oregon through and through. And I love this community. And I want to make sure that the democratic process is maintained and that we can do that through keeping it unbiased and fair," she said. "Because I'm excited about it and because I think it's important, I know that I'm going to put all of my energy into it and do it to the best of my ability."
and important work," he said. "What they do day in and day out, on how little of a budget they have and how little resources they have, is impressive." If elected, Borgens said he would like to find ways to increase voter participation and get people more interested in observing vote counts. He also believes involving more volunteers is crucial to improving voter confidence. "I believe preparing Coos County for more volunteer work is really important - letting everyone know that they can and should get involved in our election system and that even though it seems bleak and it seems dark, we as Coos County can do this, and we can hold each other accountable," Borgens said. But his first priority, he said, will be to observe and learn. "I would maintain that culture by involving the current employees, by using their knowledge and experience to help me at the job better to learn what we can improve on. I plan
to spend the first couple of months just learning from them before I try to make any changes," he said. Another priority is ensuring members of the public feel welcome and can get help locating the records they need when they come into the clerk's office. "They are incredibly knowledgeable and incredibly smart people. However, it's easy to get wrapped up in the paperwork and forget that the common citizen doesn't know all the paperwork," Borgens said. Borgens, an Eagle Scout who also volunteers within the community, said he might run for higher office one day. Still, regardless of where and how he's serving, he's committed to honesty and integrity. For now, his sights are set on a four-year term as the next county clerk. "I will do everything in my power to involve the community in our election process and to make sure that we have the best election that we possibly can," he said.

Guest Opinion
How much will a name change change? By Tim Lydon It was late November in Alaska and a lousy day for deer hunting. Rough seas rocked our small boat, and when we finally stumbled ashore in Squaw Bay, we found another hunter already there. He glanced at us unhappily, then walked toward the best deer habitat. With just six hours of daylight left, all we could do was sit, watching and thinking. A week earlier, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland had ordered her department to remove the derogatory word “squaw” from any place names on federal lands. It means new names are coming for this bay and over 600 other features on public lands across the country. A year earlier, while working with a local nonprofit, I moderated a Facebook group page about the popular national forest surrounding the bay. The page is a place to trade stories and information. One morning my friend Dave, a local charter boat captain, posted a picture from the bay and commented, “nice place for a name change.” This was before the Biden administration, and Dave was only musing. Name changes are not uncommon here. In recent years, streets, mountains, and a whole city have adopted Alaska Native names. And in 2015, as he prepared to visit Alaska, then-President Obama issued a famous – and popular – order renaming the state’s highest peak from McKinley to Denali, a nod to the Athabaskan people who have lived here for millennia. I didn’t think anything of Dave’s comment, but when I checked back later, I saw he’d been dog-piled. Scores of people, mostly men, puffed up their online chests and hurled insults. They cursed, called him a snowflake or far worse, and lamented Alaska’s descent into “wokeness.” I think I was a weak moderator. I deleted some abusive comments, kicked out a few people, and politely called for civility. But later, when Dave read the comments, he deleted his post and left the group. With that, our page lost a great source of local history and science. There’s a lot to untangle from this little squall in Alaska’s remote corner of the Internet, including the tenor of today’s culture wars, which normalizes bullying. Then there’s the word itself. Some commenters schooled Dave on etymology, citing a popular theory that squaw evolved
from an Algonquin term meaning “woman.” But it was a selective take. No one mentioned that for centuries the Americanized usage was contemptuous and dehumanizing. Like any racist slur, the term still causes pain and fuels bias. These things matter, especially when we consider the violence disproportionately inflicted against Indigenous women and girls, an issue still unfamiliar to many. In recent years, tribes, states, and others have identified thousands of unsolved cases of missing or murdered Indigenous women and girls and shown that a mix of bias and jurisdictional issues on tribal lands feeds a disparity in justice. In response, many Western states, including New Mexico, Colorado, Montana, and Washington have assigned task forces or taken other actions. Congress and both the Biden and Trump administrations have also acted with the 2020 Savannah Act, which improves Justice Department coordination on the issue, and the creation of a new Bureau of Indian Affairs unit for such crimes. Haaland’s name-change order skips past these specifics and simply states that squaw is a racist term. But she does remind the public of the federal government’s long-standing efforts to wipe racial slurs from place names. In 1962, for instance, efforts began to remove a racist term for African American people. In 1974, the same occurred for a slur against Japanese people that originated in the World War II internment era. And beginning in 1999, state laws in Montana, Oregon, and elsewhere outlawed squaw from place names. It reveals decades of bipartisan work to remove names that alienate subsets of Americans from their public lands. That long view would have been handy on our Facebook page, where many disparaged Dave’s comment as politically correct faddishness. Ultimately, a name change won’t solve bigger issues. But at over 600 sites, it will stop a slur and prompt a dialog that’s overdue. That’s true for my local bay too. But even with a new name, it will still be a serene place surrounded by forest and snow-clad mountains, where in late fall you can stand around all day and never see a deer.

Letters to the Editor Where do you draw the line?
With the emphasis on freedom by some politicians, with no mention of the twin issue of responsibility, I am wondering where to draw the line. For instance, in regard to the rule “no running” at swimming pools. Is that an unwarranted limit on citizens’ freedom? If so, and one chooses to exercise freedom, runs, slips, falls and, not only injures themselves, but slides into another citizen and injures them as well, is that just the cost of freedom? Are we being blinded by the euphoria coming from a misconception of unlimited freedom? Are we being blinded to all we have learned as a human race regarding the necessity of moderation, the findings of science and the value of common sense? In these challenging times, I prefer to have Coos County led by Melissa Cribbins and John Sweet, both of whom have demonstrated a steady hand, a respect for science, and common sense.

Less than four years
Less than four years doesn't seem like “...years of careful studies...” as quoted Friday's letters to the editor as justification for choosing Topits Park as the site for the proposed bottomless tax hole aka the replacement of the existing city tax supported library building. Yet is it less than four years ago that we were told the location was going to adjoin the Dodge Dealership. Please go back and read that letter. You will note that at lease a dozen entities from the Confederated Tribes headquarters to the Boys and Girls club are near by Topits Park. The last time I drove, or walked by any of those locations they were all closer to the Dodge Dealership location than to Topits Park. Vote 'no” and let readers who want to take their books to the park location do just that without undue disturbance to the multitude of people who like the park and the creatures that call the park home. Those people who check out small kitchen appliances from the library can't really use them in the park anyway. According to the World Feb. 11, I quote “Benetti said he is confident the bond will pass, but said the city must find a way to have a library regardless.” Seems like we heard that when buying the property next to the Dodge dealership. Please vote “no” and see what the new plan will be..perhaps maybe a downtown location leaving Charleston, Empire and outlying patrons to use North Bend's library if they choose.

Vote for Cribbens
Let’s get something straight. The job of county commissioner is to see that the work of the county government is being performed. That the roads and bridges are maintained and built as required. That the parks are maintained, that the county Jail and sheriffs are functioning well, that the courts are working, that the various records are being properly maintained, elections are fairly and openly conducted and a long list of other functions that are required to keep a modern community functioning. The job of county commissioner is NOT to impose a radical rightwing agenda under the guise of “liberty” on the people of Coos County. This is not the work that Rod Taylor is trying to get hired ( elected ) to perform. The job he wants to get hired for does not include the United Nations or global conspiracies. While these and many other conspiracies might be the concerns of the radical
right, they do not belong in the day-to-day functioning at the county courthouse. Rod Taylor does not understand the job he is seeking. Melissa Cribbens has been a county commissioner for ten years. She does understand her job and what it entails. She knows how things work in government and how to get things done. How to acquire the resources necessary and lines of communication to accomplish the work and responsibilities of the Coos County government. Melissa Cribbens competently performs the job she has as a Coos County commissioner. Vote for Melissa Cribbens Richard Kuznitsky North Bend
We need a new library
Coos Bay absolutely needs a new library. A 2014 engineering assessment concluded that the library foundations were failing. Fixing them would cost $8million; other necessary repair costs were not estimated. Foundation repair would close the library for 1-2 years; everything would have to be moved and stored and staff laid off. Once all repairs were done, the building would still be in the tsunami zone. A team spent many days searching for a suitable downtown location out of the tsunami zone; no suitable site was ever found. At some point, the library building will become unsafe and unusable. One example: the shifting foundation crushed the sewer line and left the library without toilets or water for several weeks. Sani-cans were placed by the main entrance during repairs. Eight years of concerted effort to develop a new library have brought us to where we are today. Publicity and public input were part of the process every step of the way. If we do not proceed with building a new library, there’s major risk the Library will close. The Coos Bay Public Library is a vital community center, the main star in the constellation of South Coast libraries. It is the largest library on the Oregon Coast. Nearly 13,000 people hold Coos Bay library cards. Thousands more also use the library. In 2018-19, before the pandemic, there were 186,302 visits. There are 30,000 public computer uses per year. In 2019-2020 even during restricted access, there were 355,210 wireless uses. Of the 137,000 items checked out last year, 80% were printed books. Many residents’ opposition is that the new library isn’t located downtown. Yet, not one of them has come up with a viable site. A new library downtown would likely cost more than the $30 million that some have misleadingly stated the current proposal will cost. Some are willing to risk the closure of the library rather than address the problem now. This is a gamble we cannot afford to take. Our library is a vital community center we all can be proud of – it’s time to get it a new home. Robert More Coos Bay

OBITUARIES Jacquelyn L. Pedersen “Jackie”
Iva Maxine Irwin
November 8, 1934 – April 19, 2022 Jackie was born November 8, 1934 to Jack and Lois Bowen in Astoria, Oregon. She passed away on April 19, 2022 at the age of 87 in Coquille, Oregon. Jackie’s parents moved to Coos Bay, Oregon and then later to Coquille where they raised Jackie and her younger sister, Patty Crim. Her parents owned and operated “The Bootery” in Coquille where Jackie learned her savvy business skills. She was very close with her grandfather, Donald Reisdorf growing up and liked to tell stories of their adventures. Jackie was a hard worker and loved politics, nutrition and gardening. She was a woman of deep faith in the Lord. Jackie married Richard Williams from South Africa when she was eighteen and proceeded to have three children. The eldest was Cindy Jones, then Scott Williams and the youngest being Patti Williamson. They lived in Georgia, Washington, Texas, Arkansas and finally moved back to Oregon. Jackie and Richard divorced. Jackie created her own business, “Cupid’s Gifts” which started out as a wedding and event planning business which evolved from there. She married Donald Skramovsky. Her business thrived and she was very happy. Jackie and Don had three wonderful years before he passed away from health complications. Jackie relocated to Eugene where she created a nutrition business called The Diet Center. She met and married Pete Pedersen. They moved to Washington for about 12 years where she opened and ran the business “Fortunate Life”. It met her passion of helping people with nutrition, weight loss and smoking cessation. Pete worked at JH Baxter. They retired to Coquille, Oregon after that to live on the beautiful family ranch. Jackie and Pete were married for 39 years before he passed away September 18, 2020. They had enjoyed being part of the community. Jackie attended the Emanuel Baptist Church and was very active in it until her health declined and travel was too difficult. Jackie was President of the Coquille Chamber of Commerce, won awards such as Republican Woman of the Year and Toastmasters. Her faith in the Lord never wavered. Jackie was always willing to listen and provide help with good advice for others. She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul. She is survived by her sister, Patty Crim; her daughter, Cindy Jones and her husband, Randy; her son, Scott Williams and his wife, Lorry; and her daughter, Patti Williamson; her grandchildren, Alisha Wells, Chrissy Jones, Jennifer Moon, Mickey Williams, Angie Andersen, Connor Williams, and Brittany Williamson; and nephew, Michael Crim. She is also survived by many great grandchildren and great nephews. Her family would like to share their memories of Jackie with everyone. Patty Crim – Jackie was a wonderful sister. Always giving
good advice and counsel. She used the Bible to raise her kids and gave of herself to set a good example. She was a comfort to me when I needed help to cope with grief and I remember her words of encouragement now to cope with her loss. Cindy Jones – Mom always did the right thing and fought for what she believed in. I remember quite a few bible verses because Mom would say them daily. I know my mom’s faith was strong. I loved her very much and will miss her terribly. Scott Williams – My mother was my best friend and the person I would talk to when I was troubled. Mom had a calming effect when she spoke to you. She could instill in you the belief that everything was going to be alright. Mom was a nutritionist. What she gave you to eat, would be packed with vitamins and minerals. Mom was thoughtful and caring. She never missed a birthday or a special occasion. Mom was very spiritual and took us to just about every church denomination there was. She finally settled on Baptist. Mom was mentally tough and emotionally strong. She was also very forgiving and didn’t stay mad at anyone for very long. Mom was a rock in our lives and a living example of unconditional love. Mom was everything a mother was supposed to be and a father a lot of the times. She has gone now to the other side. I hope it is her that greets me. When my time has come. Patti Williamson – My mom was the strongest woman I have ever known. I miss my mom. I miss not talking with her every day. I miss hearing her call out to me as she was headed to bed every night “I sure love you honey”. I miss talking about her childhood adventures with her grandfathers and hearing about her favorite job, working at the Roxy movie theater as a teenager. I miss watching her with my daughter and seeing how much love they had for each other. She taught me so many things, how to grow roses, how to grow a garden, how to can tuna and how to balance my checkbook. She taught me how to work hard and to fight for what I believe. She taught me how to be strong thru life’s difficult struggles and always keep my head up. She taught me about the Lord and how much we need him in our lives. Most important, she taught me how to be a mom. I love my mom with all my heart and I miss her more than I can express in my words. Alisha Wells – My grandmother, Jackie Pedersen was strong when she needed to be and stood up for what she believed was right. She loved her family more than anything and was fiercely loyal. She had no problem telling me when she thought I needed to do something differently. An example of this would be her insistence that I should eat wheat bread instead of white when I was a child, even though I detested it. While I was not thrilled with her insistence, I know her heart was in the right place and her love for me had
no end. She will be immensely missed. Mickey Williams – She was wise. She was principled. She believed in good and evil. She always tried to live for the good. She was a reader. She loved movies and a great story. She did not like nudity in movies but was fine with it in books. She liked to laugh. She was fond of British comedy (that I’ll never understand). She loved dogs, especially those little lap dogs. She also loved porcelain chickens. She loved chocolate. She loved to get her hair done. She loved purple; I think it was her favorite color. She loved jewelry. She loved to go to church. She loved to make me go to church. She loved, and sometimes hated politics. She loved her father. She loved Christ. She loved life. But above all, she loved her family. I loved her very much and I miss her very much. Brittany Williamson – My grandma and I had a very special bond. I am so grateful for that. I learned so much from her in my life. She took me to church, she taught me about politics and took me to several of her meetings (she is why I’m a Precinct to this day). As a kid, I remember listening to so much “Judge Judy” that I could practically be a judge myself. I remember calling her in distress and she was able to calm me down, offer advice, and let me know that she would be there if I needed her; unbeknownst to me she was actually on the floor because she had just taken a fall. When I was packing for college and needed to run an errand, my grandma wanted to ride along with me badly. So badly, that we somehow got her up into my truck and were on our way! Of course, we had to make one of our frequent stops at the coffee shop too. We made coffee runs often and she always got her blended caramel mocha, almond milk and of course, whip cream. I’ll really miss those coffee runs. My grandma and I would take little trips down to Bandon to enjoy some fresh fish and chips and take in the beauty of the ocean. She loved doing that, as did I. I feel fortunate to have so many fond memories with my grandma. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 21, 2022 at 11:00 am at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 282 W. 6th St., Coquille.

DEAR ABBY
By Abigail Van Buren
WOMAN'S LONG-HELD OPINION OF BROTHER-IN-LAW COMES OUT
DEAR ABBY: My sister and I have always been close. She's married to a man I have always thought is domineering and arrogant. I also suspect that he's emotionally abusive from things she has confided over the years. These include days of the silent treatment, refusing to celebrate her birthday because he doesn't believe in it and discouraging her from taking a job she was interested in. He refuses to go to counseling and says whatever problems there are between them are her fault. I hold my tongue and try to tolerate him because she has chosen to stay with him. He recently participated in a marathon and was connected to us and many others through social media so we could follow the entire two-day event from start to finish. After a day of constant "dinging" on my phone, I found his need for attention over the top and stopped following. My sister was very upset about it. She said she was embarrassed and hurt. When she asked why I stopped, I told her the truth. Now our relationship is damaged. I apologized and tried to smooth things over, but she's now fully aware of my true feelings about him after seeing and hearing how he has treated her over the years. Should I have "kept the peace," as my dear departed mother always said, and continued to keep my mouth shut, or should I have been honest about my feelings? -PROTECTIVE OF SIS DEAR PROTECTIVE: Because you say you and your sister are close, I am surprised you held your tongue about her husband's behavior for so long. You did nothing wrong by tuning out of the marathon updates. You should not have been expected to be held
hostage for two days because your brother-in-law's ego needed bolstering. You were honest with your sister and, in my opinion, did nothing that requires an apology. DEAR ABBY: My partner and I have been in a long-distance relationship for about a year. After I did some casual social media stalking, I learned he still lives with his ex-boyfriend, in spite of the fact that he continually complains to me about his "roommate," whom he never refers to by name. On top of that, we made a commitment over the last year to phone each other at least once a day. For the past three weeks, there are times I haven't heard from him at all, despite seeing him active on social media (especially on weekends). It's to a point where I stay awake until all hours, hoping to hear from him. Should I approach him about this, or is this just the end to the "honeymoon phase"? -- WAITING BY THE PHONE IN CANADA DEAR WAITING: Not only is it the end of the "honeymoon phase," but it may also be the beginning of the end of this romance because it appears your "partner" isn't as eager to contact you as you are to hear from him. Long-distance relationships can be challenging, and you may be happier if you couple up with somebody local. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

SEA invites community to take part in new marine garden The community know them as the people in blue jackets with scopes enthusiastically talking with visitors about the amazing wildlife at Face Rock, Coquille Point and Simpson Reef. As SEA volunteers resume regular activities after being closed down due to COVID, they are preparing for a big comeback. SEA’s proposal to the Rocky Habitat Management Strategy Site Designation for Coquille Point is coming to fruition. Coquille Point is on its way to being designated as a Marine Garden. The designation expands educational opportunities for our community and the thousands of visitors that travel to Bandon throughout the year. For SEA to continue forward and launch on-site interpretation programs, they are currently seeking board members and volunteers to help carve out future goals and direction. As with any organization, SEA has had a few retirements and moves out of state during the pandemic. They are looking to grow their volunteer program on the overlooks as well as on the beach at critical times to help protect the rocky habitats, support public enjoyment and increase learning opportunities to maintain the integrity of the area. If you are interested in joining the efforts, call Steve Garrett at 541-601-4603.

AS I SEE IT: Southern Coos Hospital By MARY SCHAMEHORN The first picture I am sharing this week was taken in May of 1961, not long after the "new" Southern Coos General Hospital opened on the hill overlooking the lighthouse. Board members, from left, Carl Lorenz, Edgar L. Capps, Margaret Dean and John Fasnacht, were celebrating National Hospital Week, with the theme "Your Hospital ... A Community Partnership." Board chairman Dr. B.E. Grant was not pictured. A year later, in the 1962 election, I joined the hospital board as its youngest ever member. Today I once again serve on the hospital board, this time as the oldest member (at least on the current board). Last week, as Bandon mayor, I signed a proclamation for National Hospital Week, with the theme "We Are Health Care." A story in the May 4, 1961, Western World let the community know that the hospital would be holding an open house and conduct tours in observance of National Hospital Week with a Silver Scholarship Tea that weekend. I still remember, and not fondly, that since I had joined the paper in 1959, there were certain kinds of assignments that a cub reporter received. I was asked to take pictures of the scholarship tea before the public arrived. In those days, we didn't have the kind of flash equipment that photographers use day. We used flash bulbs, and when shooting my first photo of the beautiful dessert-laden tables, my flash bulb exploded, sending small pieces of glass across the room. Fortunately, I was standing quite a ways back and most of the glass went onto the floor, and we were able to save most of the desserts. But this is one assignment I will never forget! The Women's Hospital Auxiliary sponsored the Open House and the Tea and were assisted by members of the board, the medical staff and the junior auxiliary. "According to figures released by Warren Croston, hospital administrator, 1,245 patients have been admitted to the hospital since it opened on Feb. 2, 1960; 240 surgeries have been performed and 196 babies were born." Years later, the hospital was torn down and the property sold to investors for a million dollars. It remains undeveloped today. Our latest hospital, which opened around 2000, is located at the east end of 11th Street and continues to serve the people of Bandon and the surrounding communities. The Southern Coos Health District was formed in 1955 by public vote, and hospital services have been provided continually to the South Coast community since 1960. The fact that it took five years to get the hospital built because of taxpayer court challenges is a story for another day, but it did mean that after the Leep Memorial Hospital closed in 1955, Bandon had no hospital. Southern Coos Hospital has grown over the past 61 years as a Critical Access Hospital to provide a broad scope of services needed in the community, including 21-bed inpatient care, emergency department, surgery, laboratory, medical imaging, swing bed care, specialty clinic, osteopathic, mental health, diabetic and wound care services and other programs. The second photo was taken in May of 1975 during a Flag Raising Ceremony for students of Bandon Heights Elementary (also known as the Quonset Hut) on May 1, which was Loyalty Day. Post Commander Bobby Owens, pictured, made the arrangements to have two men from the Coos Head Naval facility come to Bandon and demonstrate
the proper procedure for raising and caring for the flag. Two assemblies were held, one at Ocean Crest and the other at Bandon Heights. Although the students had their backs toward the camera for the photo, which I took, I can identify several of the teachers, including Sally Russell, far right, and probably Susanne Van Burger, also on the right. I can also see VFW members Joe and Eva Harris, at left. The Bandon Heights School building was torn down in 2014, and has been replaced by a quonset hut used by the high school baseball team as an indoor practice facility, among other things. I am sure a number of my readers will remember May of 1965, when the seniors wrecked in this school bus (third photo) while on their Senior Skip Day outing, headed for LaVerne Park. The bus went out of control on Highway 42S near Lampa Creek, resulting in minor injuries (cuts and bruises) to 10 students and one teacher, Ruth Prahar. I remember hearing all about this because my sister Molly was on the bus. Most of the injuries resulted from picnic supplies, including a large ice chest, which were hurled around inside the bus. The students suffering minor injuries were Mike Erdman, April Thompson, Rosalie Welch, Jerome Lester, Diana McAllister, Jerry Calame, Nancy Goddard, Tia Carmichael, Marvin Robertson and Mary Lou Burgher. All but Miss Carmichael continued on to the picnic in another bus. She was taken into Bandon by two junior high teachers, Betty Wahl and Maureen Griffith, who came along shortly after the accident occurred at 7:50 a.m. ---------------------------------------
I learned this week that Bandon native Mark McMahon, 60, died at his home in Bandon Wednesday of heart failure, after being released from the hospital earlier in the week where he had undergone surgery on his leg. His wife, Donna, was with him. He was the son of the late Barbara and Jack McMahon, and had one brother, Jerry, of Bandon. He also had a son, Ryan, and a daughter, Chrissy, who did not live here, according to his uncle, Ed McMahon. ---------------------------------------
I was told that Lloyd's Cafe was the victim of a burglary Thursday night, after someone apparently broke a window to gain entry to the Old Town business, owned by Mike and Melanie Collins. A report was filed with the Bandon Police Department.

April was definitely on the rainy side, with 7.6 inches recorded in Bandon. But we needed it, because the four-month total (January-April) was only 20.61 inches compared to 32.37 for the same period last year ... and 54.74 inches for the same period in 2017. This is the second driest four-month period in the

last 18 years, with the driest being in 2013 when we recorded only 15.49 inches. The calendar year total for 2013 was way lower than the average with only 34.19 inches of rain... compared with 2012 at 80.81 inches, and 66.43 inches for 2021. ---------------------------------------
A recent article in Golf Week mentions ongoing development at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort. It points out that its 103 golf holes and 210 rooms are booked through 2022, but a friend told me they tried to get reservations for teetimes for a large group, and were told they were booked through 2023. The bottom line is that this is a very busy time for the resort. Projects mentioned in the article were a 40-seat patio expansion at the main clubhouse, and plans for the opening of Ghost Tree Grill just south of Old MacDonald's 18th green next year. The article also spoke of the potential for a David McLay Kidd public course called New River Dunes south of Bandon, and a second par-3 course on the Resort property, designed by Tom Doak. Direction of Culinary Operations Don McCardic estimated that "over the next year alone, he would need to add 40 employees to his 70-person culinary staff to keep pace with growth." Rory Butts, whose wife Meghan owns Bandon Sweets & Treats, is executive chef at the Dunes. The April 9-10 weekend edition of The Wall Street Journal contained a three-quarter page article about Resort owner Mike Keiser's latest book, "The Nature of the Game." The accompanying article was a fun read and provided great insight into Mr. Keiser and what he and his sons have
accomplished at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort and elsewhere in the world of golf. ---------------------------------------

Simonds leads Bandon boys to state golf tourney berth By JOHN GUNTHER For The World
The Bandon boys golf team shot its best rounds of the season at the right time, earning a trip to the Class 3A-2A-1A state tournament by finishing second in the District 4 tournament at Bandon Crossings on Tuesday. Bandon also had the district medalist when freshman Peyton Simonds outlasted Brookings-Harbor’s Lucas Vanderlip in a sudden death playoff that lasted two holes. “Everyone has improved so much since the start of the year,” Simonds said of the Tigers, who shot 315 on the opening day of the tournament and followed with a 322 Tuesday. “We worked hard in practice. It paid off.” St. Mary’s overtook the Tigers on the second day with a 309 to go with an opening 318, winning the team title. Brookings-Harbor finished third to also earn a spot in the state tournament at Quail Valley in Banks next Monday and Tuesday. The duel for medalist honors between Simonds and Vanderlip drew the attention of many of the other golfers and coaches, who gathered above the 18th green where they saw the Brookings-Harbor sophomore make birdie to force the playoff. They then followed along the two sudden-death holes, cheering each big shot, including challenging par putts by both players on No. 1 to extend the action. The tide turned in Simonds’ favor when Vanderlip’s tee shot in No. 2 ran through the fairway and into rough right below a tree. Simonds, hitting second, used a 5-wood to get the ball safely in the fairway. It left him 178 yards from the flag, but he hit a 6-iron flush to 10 feet where he had a routine two-putt par. Vanderlip could only punch out from under the tree for his second shot and was unable to get up and down for par, meaning the tap-in par putt by Simonds was good enough to win. “It was awesome,” Simonds said of the playoff. “I had fun playing with Lucas.” Both players had great rounds Tuesday, with Vanderlip shooting a 3-under 69 and Simonds a 2-under 70. They finished at even par for the two days. “We kind of fed off each other the entire round,” Simonds said. The Bandon leader improved by four strokes from Monday. “I hit my wedges great,” he said. “Putting was one step better than yesterday.” Vanderlip said he was thrilled with his round and finish, especially after he had a nine on the fourth hole in the first round Monday. “I couldn’t have asked for a better finish, with the clutch birdie on 18 to force the playoff,” he said. As for the finish in the playoff, he credited Simonds with hitting a great shot. “That iron was stuffed,” Vanderlip said. And as happy as he was with his own play, Vanderlip was more excited for the

Bruins as a whole. “It’s about the team,” he said. “We made it to state. Nobody expected us to. It’s going to be a fun ride home.” Fabian Villa had his best round ever with an 82 — he had never before broken 100. And Fletcher McLennan had a lifetime best with a 100. Between them, they improved by 71 shots from the opening round. Josh Serna added an 83 for the Bruins for a two-day total of 161 that was the sixth best overall score. St. Mary’s had the golfers in third through fifth place — Brock Drury (152), Josh Moran (154) and Tiger Zao (157). St. Mary’s coach Bradley Pederson said Bandon’s strong first round elevated his

team. “They thought they needed to play better to win today and they did,” he said. He also told Bandon coach Scott Millhouser that he was impressed with the performance by the Tigers. “Your kids played well at the end when they are supposed to,” Pederson said. Millhouser said he was pleased with his team’s performance. “Our goal was to make St. Mary’s nervous,” he said. “We beat them on Day 1.” Millhouser noted that among his players, only senior Ryan Flynn played high school golf last year. Flynn shot a 76 on Monday, but dropped back to 86 on Tuesday.

Marshfield girls earn spot at state By JOHN GUNTHER For The World
Marshfield girls golf coach Andrew Simpson said his team had a breakthrough midway through the season. The end result was a trip to the Class 4A-3A-2A-1A state tournament after the Pirates finished third at the district tournament Tuesday at Bandon Crossings. “A month ago it just clicked,” Simpson said. “There’s a difference between hitting good golf shots and scoring. They started to score (well). They started just playing golf.” In the district tournament, the Pirates weren’t close to eventual champion St. Mary’s or Marist Catholic. But the district got three berths for the state tournament and Marshfield easily captured the third with a strong second round in the two-day event. “I am over-the-moon excited,” Simpson said. “We got in.” The Pirates feature three freshmen and two seniors. As a team they improved by 15 shots from Monday to Tuesday.
Freshman Bella Roberts led Marshfield with a two-day total of 206, rallying with a strong finish Tuesday. She shot a 104 on Monday and then exploded with a 58 on the front nine Tuesday, but she settled down with a 44 on the back nine for a total of 102. “I think I was more focused,” Roberts said of the back nine, adding she was able to put her poor start in the past. Roberts, who was Marshfield’s last player on the course, finished with pars on the final two holes to finish the Pirates’ second-day surge. “I think we played really well,” she said. “I didn’t play as well as I wanted to, but my teammates played really well.” Shay Herzog, another of the freshmen, had a 107 on Monday and a 109 on Tuesday for a two-day total of 216. Senior Paige Kirchner improved from 120 in the opening round to 111 on Tuesday and freshman Analise McCord jumped from 124 to 116. Senior Nyssa Haynes
“His 76 was his best tournament score by five,” Millhouser said. Flynn’s 162 was the second-best individual total for Bandon, followed by Sean Ells (164) and Owen Brown (167). Carter Brown shot an 87 on Monday and Andrew Robertson subbed in for him on Tuesday and shot a 93. Millhouser said the Tigers stepped up at the big time. “We’ve got a bunch of athletes that are gamers and rose to the occasion,” he said. The reward, just like for St. Mary’s and Brookings-Harbor, was a trip to the state tournament next week. “I hope we can compete well at state,” Simonds said. “It’s going to be fun.”
went from 122 to 123. With such a young team, or in the case of the seniors, inexperienced players because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Simpson wasn’t sure what to expect this season. “Our goal at the beginning of the year was to have five girls who could play golf,” he said. “Halfway into the year, it was ‘Can we make it to state?’” The Pirates did just that, earning a spot in the state tournament at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond next Monday and Tuesday. “I am ecstatic,” Simpson said. St. Mary’s edged Marist Catholic for the title, with St. Mary’s shooting 722 and the Spartans 730. Marist Catholic’s Sandhya Vaikuntam was medalist with a two-day total of 152, followed by Riley Hammerickson of St. Mary’s (156), Marist Catholic’s Esha Reddy (167), Brigit O’Connell of St. Mary’s (171) and Hidden Valley’s Jazzmine Diaz, who earned an individual spot in the state tournament by finishing fifth (181).
The Bay Area will be well-represented at the state golf tournaments next week. Marshfield’s boys placed third in their special district tournament at Tokatee Golf Course on Tuesday while North Bend’s girls advanced to state as the second team from their regional last week and two of North Bend’s boys qualified as individuals. Marshfield’s girls also qualified by placing third in their Class 4A-3A-2A-1A regional tournament (see related story). Marshfield’s boys improved by one stroke as a team Tuesday, following an opening 345 with a 344. The Pirates finished behind Marist Catholic and Cascade in the team race. Ben Proulx of the team champion Spartans took medalist honors, beating Cascade’s Ramsey Gordon in a playoff after both had a two-day total of 153. That was four shots better than Woodburn’s Ty Byer, an individual state qualifier. Marist Catholic’s Talon Larson and Cascade’s Ky Hemelstrand tied for fourth at 158. Marshfield was led by Oscar Day, who finished sixth (165) and Ben Mahaffy who was eighth (168). Mason Pederson and Ezra Waterman were part of a tie for 11th (178) and Gabe Mahaffy was 15th (181).
.The Class 4A boys state tournament is next Monday and Tuesday at Quail Valley in Banks. North Bend’s girls earned their spot at state by finishing second in the Midwestern League tournament, held last week at Tokatee. Crater took the team title and North Bend was second, led by Kamryn Craig, one of just two golfers to break 200. North Eugene’s Francesca Tomp easily took medalist honors, shooting 73-73. Kraig shot 98-99. Jordyn Prince finished eighth (116118) and Jade Nanda ninth (114-121). North Bend’s other two players are Morgan Hoefs (132-126) and Jill Sorric (135-130). North Bend’s boys had two individual qualifiers from the regional tournament Tuesday at Pine Ridge Golf Club between the Mid-Willamette and Midwestern League teams that did not win their league titles last week. The top five players not on the two qualifying teams earned spots at state. Owen Bascom finished fifth with scores of 84-81 or North Bend. David Roberts was 12th (91-92). The Class 5A boys state tournament is Monday and Tuesday at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis, while the girls tournament is the same two days at Emerald Valley Golf Club in Creswell.

Try positive reinforcement when addressing pets’ behavioral issues What can pet owners do when their pets exhibit unwanted behaviors, such as damaging furniture or jumping up on people? The first instinct may be to yell or punish the pet by being cross with him or her. However, many animal behaviorists believe that positive reinforcement training is the most effective way to address pets’ behavioral issues.
Have You
Lost
Positive reinforcement training, training, according to The Humane Society of the United States, utilizes rewards for desired behaviors. The reward, whether it is a treat, praise, toys, or anything the pet finds rewarding, will eventually get the pet to repeat the behavior that earned him or her that reward. Rather than punishing a bad behavior, pet owners who utilize positive reinforcement reward good behaviors. Positive reinforcement also is known as operant conditioning. It is a similar concept studied by famed Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov. When the dinner bell rang, Pavlov’s dogs salivated. The American Kennel Club says that was classical conditioning because the dogs salivated involuntarily. However, operant training conditioning is when dogs learn to associate their behavior with certain results, all the while learning there are good and bad outcomes. The goal is to increase behaviors with pleasant consequences, such as receiving a reward. Experts say that by focusing on the positive, pet owners will see fewer side effects than

negative punishment training, such as aggression, fear, anxiety, and avoidance. Timing is the key to positive reinforcement training. The reward must occur immediately after the desired behavior or the pet may not associate it with the proper action. So if the dog sits, then the reward has to come as soon as it gets on the floor. If the reward comes when he has stood back up, then the pooch may think the reward is for standing. When practicing positive reinforcement, keep commands short and training sessions brief so that dogs can understand before they get restless. Dogs don’t understand sentences, says HSUS, and they will lose interest if sessions are too long. Each person interacting with the pet should use the same commands and cues to achieve the desired result, which is a well-behaved pet. It may take time for a pet to acclimate to commands and training. But with patience, positive reinforcement can be effective.

Weather key as Bandon cranberry bogs mature By SEAN DOYLE For The World
Pilots, mariners and farmers know weather, because their lives and livelihood depend on the weather. In April Bandon cranberry farmers carefully monitor the weather because the cranberry vines in the bogs are beginning to bud, and most vulnerable to the cold. Cloudy nights are farmer friendly because the temperature remains moderate. Of more concern are the cloudless nights, when the wind blows from the north and the temperature in the bogs drops below freezing. Those can be sleepless nights for Bandon cranberry farmers because they must go out to the bogs in the dark to check that the pumps are working, and sprinklers are dancing. The water applied at night freezes to insulate the sensitive new growth to ensure the budding berries are protected. In April, the tender shoots start to grow and spread from the twiggy cranberry vines. There is vertical growth as the shoots and stems become more upright and the cranberry buds begin to form. These buds begin to swell. As the buds on the vines start to elevate and elongate, they enter the “roughneck” stage of development. Soon the budding ruff-necks will abandon their upward trajectory and begin to “hook,” that’s when the vines fold over and begin to bloom.
The berry vines will progress from a pre-hook stage in April to full hooking in May. A blossom will form at the end of the stem that will hook over and hang down like an ornament from a Christmas tree. Inside this blossom is where the budding baby cranberry will develop, changing from white to green, on its way to maturity and a rich ruby red color come fall. But for this to happen, the cranberry blossoms, the flowers on the vines, must get pollinated to produce a berry. To spread the pollen, Bandon Cranberry farmers need bees. The rebirth of cranberries along the southern Oregon coast every spring is a miracle of nature that would not occur without bees. The bees spread the pollen, which makes the cranberries come to life. Bees are most critical for peak cranberry production. Most farmers prefer the wild and free local Bandon bumble bees. They are the hardest working bees in the business and deserve credit for much of the pollination that occurs on Bandon cranberry bogs. They are the most productive bees, visiting over a thousand flowers a day, come rain or come shine. Augmenting the local bumble bees, to ensure widespread and prolific pollination, are imported honeybees. These bees come from Oregon beekeepers and are often imported from California. Some bees come to Bandon after Please see Cranberries, Page B7

Watering the cranberry bogs late in the day is key to protecting the young plants. The freshly-watered plants will get covered in ice, which actually keeps them from dying.

Strazzo wins grand prize in Bandon Cranberry Logo Contest The Bandon Cranberry Logo Contest received over 50 submissions from Oregon artists, young and old. The grand prize win-
ner was Cara Strazzo from Eugene. Cara, the mother of two, is the owner of Kurant Creative, a small marketing and design firm.
There were two other “Special Merit Award” winners in the Bandon Berry Logo contest. Eleven-year-old artist Jael
Legutki of Bandon and 12-year-old seventh grader Kiah Hanssen-Paulson. Congratulations to all the prize winners. Cash prizes for the winners of the Bandon Berry Logo contest will be
awarded at 1 pm on Friday, May 13, in the Farmers Market in Bandon at the Peter’s Cranberry booth. The public is invited to see the cranberry logos submitted, meet the winning artists and enjoy cranberry
juice and cranberry bread from local Bandon cranberry farmers. New Bandon Cranberry Logo tee shirts from the Cara Strazzo/Kurant Creative design will be available.

Frost and freezing are always a danger to cranberry fields in Bandon.
Cranberries From B1
working their magic in the Willamette Valley early in the spring. California honeybees can be fickle, fragile and are always overtaxed, so Bandon cranberry farmers will rent 1-2 beehives per acre to enhance pollination in May and June. The berry business in Bandon has stopped contracting and is beginning
to expand. New bogs are being planted in Bandon, Sixes and Langlois and new vines are being introduced to the area. Expectations for higher crop yields and higher berry prices are widespread. There is optimism in the air about cranberry farming because farmers and savvy investors are buying, building and expanding cranberry holdings along the southern Oregon coast. While inflation will lift food prices and cranberry
prices, it has also raised fertilizer, energy prices and shipping costs. Along with higher costs for fertilizer, there are questions about future availability. Russia is the largest producer and exporter of fertilizer in the world, and they are no longer exporting to the West. The cost of exporting cranberries to Asia has quadrupled due to increased shipping costs. Bandon cranberry farmers will focus on domestic sales in 2022.
