North Bend moves ARP funds to pay for pool repairs By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
When bids for work to make needed repairs at the North Bend Municipal Pool came in above the funding budgeted by the city, the city council promised to find extra funding to cover all the needed repairs. Last week, the council did just
that, moving $500,000 in American Rescue Act Plan funding from the community building to pool repairs to cover the full costs. Finance Director Jessica Terra asked the council to approve the change, saying the city would seek additional funding to make repairs at the community center. “In December, the council
adopted a plan to spend the ARPA money,” Terra said. “We have identified a number of changes. The first and most significant change is reallocating the $500,000 set aside for renovating the community center and moving that to the pool improvement fund. This would allow for all three phases of the pool improvement to be complet-
ed and address any other needed improvements that could arise.” Terra said the city would seek grant funding or other revenue sources to complete the community building rehabilitation. With the additional funding, all needed repairs to the pool can be made, with a goal of ensuring the pool is safe and operable for the next 30 years.
Work at the North Bend Pool has already begun after the council approved phases 1 and 2 and the renovation. Because those bids came in higher than expected, there was no funding left for phase 3. “I think that’s money well spent,” Councilor Bill Richardson said. Please see POOL, Page A2
Washed Ashore finds a second home in Coos Bay By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
After more than a decade of cleaning beaches and creating stunning art from what was collected in Bandon, Washed Ashore has added a second operation in Coos Bay. The nonprofit that uses art to spread the message of keeping plastic and other trash out of the ocean will always call Bandon home, but Washed Ashore will now create its sculptures at a warehouse it recently moved into in Coos Bay. During a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Coos Bay location, Executive Director Katie Dougherty said the warehouse in Coos Bay fit a big need for Washed Ashore. “We needed a place to refurbish,” she said. “The plastic breaks down, so when they come back, we need the space. It’s really the launching pad, whether it is a new build or whether it’s going to refurbished and sent on the way.” The Washed Ashore museum in Bandon holds many of the 87 sculpture created over the years, but sculptures can be seen nationwide is museums, zoos, aquariums and other locations. Since it opened 11 years ago, Washed Ashore and other Please see ASHORE, Page A12

Law enforcement officials from North Bend, the Coos Bay Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police and other agencies arrest a woman who broke into the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in North Bend and stole an airport van. The woman used the van to joy ride for close to an hour, most of it being followed by police, before wrecking the van and being taken into custody. During the ordeal, airport operations were closed down, and there was no threat to either commercial or private flights coming to or leaving the airport.

Perspectives and complexities of responsible wind energy generation off the Oregon Coast was the topic of Oregon’s State University’s Science Pub meeting May 9. Flaxen Conway, director of OSU’s marine resource management graduate program and an Oregon Sea Grant Extension specialist, presented the issue. In her roles at OSU, she works with coastal communities, families and other groups. She works with multiple partners to provide coastal and statewide outreach and engagement. “My work focuses on collaborative learning,” Conway said. “How to build connections, how to build solutions together, how to build resilience.” Conway said this talk is just an introduction to renewable energy. All the renewable energy solutions have their positives and negatives. Renewable energy continues to evolve. CALENDAR A4 CLASSIFIEDS A3 OPINION A5

“Energy, the ocean and offshore wind can look different depending on one’s perspective,” Conway said. “There’s lots of viewpoints.” Marine renewable energy is just one solution. We need as many potential solutions as possible, Conway added. Research shows there is no one silver bullet. “Finding lasting solutions also takes creativity, it takes imagination, it takes careful consideration, recognizing what other challenges exist,” Conway said. Wind energy began at OSU and in Oregon in the early 2000s with a lot of research. There was some outreach and engagement during this decade. “This decade was kind of viewed as the first marine renewable energy gold rush,” Conway said. “In the 2010s, we had more research and development going on. We have a lot more collaborations happening.” In the 2010s, there was also

Denise Ann Barrett organizational footing. All told, Barrett brings more than 25 years of experience building and leading complex non-profit and public sector organizations. “We see Denise helping us advance our model of bridging the ideas of the forest industry, conservation and recreation communities and tribal nations’ interests,” said Forest Bridges’ Board Chair Thomas McGregor. “The Forest Bridges Board is driven to advance an evidence-based collaborative of diverse voices to achieve active and climate-change mindful forest health and management.” Barrett said what most attracted her to Forest Bridges was its mission, vision, collaborative nature, commitment to equity and inclusion, and thoughtful approaches to improving forest health, wildlife habitat and fire resilience. “I am excited to help lead an organization daring to shift a paradigm,” said Ms. Barrett. “It’s more than just fixing a broken forestry management system. What Forest Bridges is attempting is whole system change, with everyone at the table working to find common ground to advance the best methods that modern science, traditional ecological knowledge and professional experience have to offer. I want to be a part of that effort. It requires commitment to equity and inclusion and building consensus. It’s win-win or we all lose.”

The council also agreed to use ARP funs to purchase a new police vehicle for the captain and to fund a community services officer. City Administrator David Milliron explained the captain is currently using a borrowed vehicle that will need to be returned. He said the city is always looking for grant funding to help pay for aspects of the police department. “We’re trying to help bring money in to help pay for these officers,” Milliron said. “At this point, taxpayers are paying the full amount. Only about 60 percent of our police money is paid by the public safety fee. We are moving things, but at this point it’s not impacting the budget and we’re using as much outside resources as we can in order to stretch the budget.”

The Board of Directors for Forest Bridges has appointed Denise Ann Barrett as its first full-time executive director. Founded in 2015 and based in Roseburg, Forest Bridges is a public charity nonprofit that brings people together in a collaborative to seek sustainable forest habitat management solutions for more than two million acres of O&C forest lands located in 18 counties of Western Oregon. Forest Bridges’ Board of Directors represents diverse views of groups traditionally on different sides of forestry issues. Barrett holds a master’s in international administration, with a focus on sustainable development management, and comes to Forest Bridges following a 10-year stint at the city of Portland as managing director of the collaborative, consensus-driven Regional Disaster Preparedness Organization. There, she built and managed a complex, dynamic and inclusive structure and strategic process supporting dozens of cities, counties, special districts and regional governments, businesses and local organizations, to agree on and advance a unified mission, vision and program of investments to enhance disaster preparedness and resilience for a region of 2.4 million people. Barrett’s work at the RDPO also included serving as manager of regional multi-agency disaster response coordination, which activated for COVID-19 and the Labor Day wildfire responses. Prior to the RDPO, Barrett served as executive director of the Southwest Virginia-Northeast Tennessee-based Appalachian Sustainable Development, whose mission focuses on advancing sustainable forestry and local food systems development. She helped the organization through a critical strategic change process to set them on a more solid

HOLY COW HISTORY: A dog’s fond farewell By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com
If you’re of a certain age (Baby Boomers take note; I’m talking to you), you’ll recall a hit TV show’s conclusion. For seven seasons throughout the 1960s, “Petticoat Junction” ended with an antique steam train chugging through the countryside as closing credits were plastered over it. A dog was seen running along the tracks, gamely trying to catch up with the Cannonball. It was cute and sad simultaneously. Try though he might, week after week and year after year, that dog never did catch the train. In many ways, it was fitting for the shaggy little mutt. Because although he was seen on both the big and small screens, he never got the recognition he deserved. Tinseltown has gone through a series of canine crushes. We remember Terry, the cairn terrier who wormed her way into hearts by playing Dorothy’s beloved Toto in “The Wizard of Oz.” We can’t forget Skippy, the wire fox terrier who almost upstaged Myrna Loy and William Powell. Though he starred in dozens of other films (including 1938’s Katherine Hepburn-Cary Grant screwball comedy classic “Bringing Up Baby”), he’ll always be remembered as Asta, Nick and Nora Charles’ canine companion in all six “Thin Man” movies. (Plus, his name lives as a perennial crossword puzzle answer. Though in fairness, there are only so many four-letter palindrome pet names out there.) And there’s definitely not time to go into the kennel full of collies and German shepherds who played “Lassie” and “Rin Tin Tin” over the years. But how about Higgins? That one probably doesn’t ring a bell. And that’s a shame. There was something special about the little brown and black dog that day in 1960 when animal trainer Frank Inn spotted him in the Burbank Animal Shelter. He was what polite society refers to as a “mixed breed,” but everyday folks call a “Heinz 57.” Fluffy and black and tan, he bore the markings of a border terrier. In the days before doggie DNA tests, there was no way to know for sure, but Inn thought he recognized a touch of schnauzer and cocker spaniel, with a dash of miniature poodle thrown in, too. He was named Higgins. Though he may have been cute, he didn’t coast on his looks. Higgins had brainpower, too. He could display a range of emotions and even learned to sneeze and yawn on cue. In fact, Inn called him the smartest dog he ever worked with. That was quite a compliment because Inn was no run-of-themill animal trainer. During his 50-year career, he trained dozens
of Hollywood A-List pooches including the aforementioned Skippy/Asta. But it was Higgins he most admired. Inn was proud when Higgins was cast as the family pet in “Petticoat Junction” in 1963. The role was such an afterthought the show’s writers didn’t even give the character a name; he was simply called “dog.” Higgins didn’t mind. He turned in a performance that gave his human co-stars a run for their money, wowing viewers with his intelligent tricks while melting their hearts with his lovableness. He became such a fan favorite he popped up on “The Beverly Hillbillies” and “Green Acres” and even made the cover of “TV Guide” magazine. While he got along well with everyone on the set, Higgins enjoyed a special rapport with Edgar Buchanan, who played curmudgeonly Uncle Joe Carson. The two shared a vibe of genuine affection viewers could feel. Time passed. “Petticoat Junction,” the “Hillbillies,” and “Green Acres” eventually fell victim to the so-called “rural purge. (Actor Pat Butrum said, “CBS canceled everything with a tree in it.”) By 1971, cornball comedies were out and new, edgy sitcoms like “All In the Family” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” were in. Dog roles began drying up, too. But Fate had one last happy smile in store for Higgins. He was picked to play the title role in 1974’s hit family movie “Benji,” the tale of a lovable stray who meanders around a small Texas town. It also reunited Higgins and his BFF Buchanan. Both were way past their prime by then. Buchanan was entering his 70s and Higgins was 16. It was the last movie either made. Maybe Higgins understood it was the end of the line. Dogs sometimes sense these things. If you look closely, you’ll spot a certain tenderness in his eyes while gazing reassuringly at his buddy as if to say, “It’s OK, old friend. Let’s call it a day.” (The movie was also the last time Frances Bavier, the beloved Aunt Bee from “The Andy Griffith Show,” ever acted.) Higgins went out with a bang. His final performance made the movie such a huge hit it spawned an entire “Benji” franchise of sequels with the first few starring Benjean, his daughter. Higgins passed away the next year just weeks shy of his 18th birthday. He had, as they say in acting circles, a good run. ABOUT THE WRITER J.

Abortion is back Abortion is being covered in the media much more in the past week, and it again reveals the leftist, biased attitude of the press. Please pay attention to any reporting on the issue. The media will invariably refer to the people who support abortion as prochoice, a positive sounding term that they use for themselves. You will also hear those of us who see the sanctity of life as
anti-abortion, a negative sounding term (pro vs anti) that we do not use for ourselves. If the press is going to call us anti-abortion, they should be consistent and refer to the other side as anti-baby. A woman has freedom of choice. However, she needs to make the choice before she’s pregnant. If she becomes pregnant, the issue is no longer control over her own body, but also control over a new, innocent life. We call ourselves pro-life, because we recognize that a baby in utero is a completely unique person, not a part of the mother’s body. If it were part of the mother’s body, it wouldn’t have its own heartbeat, DNA and half of the time, opposite gender of the mother. Surveys have shown that over ninety percent of women planning abortion, who see sonograms of their unborn baby, will cancel the abortion, realizing that they are carrying an actual baby.
In the very rare situation where the woman becomes pregnant because of rape or incest, the baby, doesn’t deserve to die because of the unfortunate way in which it was conceived. There are many more couples wanting to adopt babies than there are women who don’t want their babies. The Bible is clear that God considers an unborn baby to be a person. The Bible says that the baby is more than a product of conception. He told the prophet Jeremiah that He knew him before he was formed in his mother’s womb, and set him apart to be a prophet before he was born. If the Creator of the universe recognizes the life of an unborn child, how do we have the arrogance to contradict Him? Bruce Tucker Coos Bay

Many newspapers are on Death Row; will they be reprieved? By Llewellyn King InsideSources.com
Newspapers are on death row. The once great provincial newspapers of this country, indeed of many countries, often look like pamphlets. Others have already been executed by the market. The cause is simple enough: Disrupting technology in the form of the internet has lured away most of their advertising revenue. To make up the shortfall, publishers have been forced to push up the cover price to astronomical highs, driving away readers. One city newspaper used to sell 200,000 copies, but now sells fewer than 30,000 copies. I just bought said paper’s Sunday edition for $5. Newspapering is my lifelong trade and I might be expected to shell out that much for a single copy, but I wouldn’t expect it of the public to pay that — especially for a product that is a sliver of what it once was. New media are taking on some of the role of the newspapers, but it isn’t the same. Traditionally, newspapers have had the time and resources to do the job properly; to detach reporters to dig into the murky, or to demystify the complicated; to operate foreign bureaus; and to send writers to the ends of the earth. Also, they have had the space to publish the result. More, newspapers have had something that radio, television and the internet outlets haven’t had: durability. I have a stake in radio and television, yet I still marvel at how newspaper stories endure; how long-lived newspaper coverage is compared with the other forms of media. I get inquiries about what I
wrote years ago. Someone will ask, for example, “Do you remember what you wrote in 1980 about oil supply?” Newspaper coverage lasts. Nobody has ever asked me about something I said on radio or television more than a few weeks after the broadcast. I was taken aback when, testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee decades ago, a senator asked me about an article I had written years earlier and forgotten. But he hadn’t and had a copy handy. There is authority in the written word that doesn’t extend to the broadcast word, and maybe not to the virtual word on the internet in promising, new forms of media like Axios. If publishing were just another business — and it is a business — and it had reached the end of the line, like the telegram, I would say, “Out with the old and in with the new.” But when it comes to newspapers, it has yet to be proved that the new is doing the job once done by the old or if it can; if it can achieve durability and write the first page of history. Since the first broadcasts, newspapers have been the feedstock of radio and television, whether in a small town or in a great metropolis. Television and radio have fed off the work of newspapers. Only occasionally is the flow reversed. The Economist asks whether Russians would have supported President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine if they had had a free media and could have known what was going on; or whether the spread of COVID in China would have been so complete if free media had reported on it early, in the first throes of
the pandemic? The plight of the newspapers should be especially concerning at a time when we see democracy wobbling in many countries, and there are those who would shove it off-kilter even in the United States. There are no easy ways to subsidize newspapers without taking away their independence and turning them into captive organs. Only one springs to mind, and that is the subsidy that the British press and wire services enjoyed for decades. It was a special, reduced cable rate for transmitting news, known as Commonwealth Cable Rate. It was a subsidy, but a hands-off one. Commonwealth Cable Rate was so effective that all American publications found ways to use it and enjoy the subsidy. United Press International created a subsidiary, British United Press, which flowed huge volumes of cable traffic through London. Time Inc. had a system where its cable traffic was channeled through Montreal to take advantage of the exceptionally low, special rates in the British Commonwealth. That is the kind of subsidy that newspapers might need. Of course, best of all, would be for the mighty tech companies to pay for the news they purloin and distribute; for the aggregators to respect the copyrights of the creators of the material they flash around the globe.

Dear Stranger is a letter-exchange project from Oregon Humanities that offers a chance for connection by inviting Oregonians to write letters with someone they’ve never met.
Connecting Oregonians by writing letters STAFF REPORT The isolation of the COVID pandemic and the strident partisanship of national politics have left many Oregonians feeling disconnected and alone, according to Oregon Humanities, an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and a partner of the Oregon Cultural Trust. Oregon Humanities brings people together to talk, listen, and learn from one another, according to the organization’s administrators. Dear Stranger is a letter-exchange project from Oregon Humanities that offers a chance for connection by inviting Oregonians to write letters
with someone they’ve never met. “In good times, bad, and everything in between, sometimes it’s hardest to share our innermost thoughts with those closest to us,” Oregon Humanities Dear Stranger project director Lucy SolaresSteger said. “Dear Stranger offers a chance to share a fresh perspective with a stranger in the world and receive one in return. It provides an opportunity to reach out and find community, listen to one another, and learn from each other.” The aim of Dear Stranger is to create shared understanding among Oregonians with different backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs. The premise is simple: Write a letter, get a letter, and make a new connection. Oregon
DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren HOSPICE VOLUNTEER STUNNED BY FAMILY’S GENEROUS GIFT DEAR ABBY: For a few years, I volunteered to tend to an elderly woman through a hospice organization. My role was to visit with her while her son ran errands or enjoyed an evening of entertainment. I grew fond of her and her family. For my 70th birthday, her daughter, son and daughter-inlaw hosted an at-home dinner in my honor. It was good fun. In addition to a tasty dinner and homemade birthday cake, there were presents: wine, gag wine glass and a birthday card with a gift card enclosed. The wine is long gone, and I have used the wine glass ever since. I left the gift card in the birthday card and set it aside. I recently wanted to buy a $20 coffee mug online, so I pulled out the gift card and was shocked to see the value of the card is almost four times more than the mug I fancied. I feel the gift is too much. How do I gracefully return the very generous gift? -- OVERWHELMED IN WASHINGTON DEAR OVERWHELMED: Your heart is in the right place, but please do not reject that family’s gift of gratitude for what you did for their mother -- and for them -- during a difficult time. To do otherwise would be a breach of etiquette. Your acts of kindness are worth every penny, and you are deserving of what was given to you. DEAR ABBY: My husband of 55 years never talks to me anymore. Unless I initiate conversation, he sits in silence, staring off into space. He says he has “nothing to say.” It drives me crazy. I suppose, after all these years, anything he says has been said before, but still, it leaves me feeling lonely and unloved. When I tell him how it makes me feel, he says it isn’t the case, but he never changes. We don’t have TV, and I can read and do crossword puzzles by myself for just so long. I really look forward to the evening, when I can start drinking my whiskey, so I have a little pleasure in my life. I don’t have more than a couple of drinks because I understand the health risks, but tell me, what else can I do? -- TALKING TO MYSELF IN TEXAS DEAR TALKING: What you can do is quit drinking to ease your loneliness and get out of the house. Socialize with others at least once a week. Look into opportunities to volunteer in your community. Take your husband with you if you can pry him out of his chair. The only thing you should NOT do is continue on the path you’re on. P.S. If your husband’s passivity is new behavior, consider going with him to the doctor so he can be screened for depression. (While you’re there, it might not be a bad idea for you to be screened for it as well.) DEAR ABBY: This is not a big drama, but I think that if someone wants to give out my email address, they should first ask me for permission. I just received an email from an acquaintance telling me they had given out my email and THEN asking me if that was OK. No, it wasn’t! Abby, I’m not in witness protection, but my email address is private. Am I crazy? -- CRANKY ON LONG ISLAND DEAR CRANKY: Crazy? Not at all. What your nervy acquaintance did was breach whatever privacy is left in our society these days, which was thoughtless, rude and inexcusable. -----------------------------------------------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
Humanities has operated Dear Stranger since 2014, with each round of the project asking writers to address a different question or theme. In the most recent round this past winter, 69 people from 28 communities across Oregon exchanged letters. This spring’s prompt for writers is about care: “What do you care about, and why? Who do you care for, and who cares for you? Does this feel like a choice or a given? Where do you see care, and where do you notice its absence? Prompts for writing and instructions for participation are available on the Oregon Humanities website at oregonhumanities. org. Letters are swapped anonymously, and each person receives a letter from the person who received the one they wrote. What happens next is up to the writers. If they’d like to write back, they can do so through Oregon Humanities. Letters should be addressed to Oregon Humanities, Attn: Dear Stranger, 610 SW St., Suite 1111, Portland, Oregon, 97205. Oregon Humanities will exchange letters mailed by June 30, 2022. Oregon Humanities launched a similar letter exchange project in the spring of last year.

Coquille boys, girls sweep district track titles By JOHN GUNTHER For The World
Coquille swept the Class 2A District 4 track titles at Hidden Valley High School and put together a strong contingent of qualifiers for this week’s state track meet in the process. The state meet, held for the first time at the rebuilt Hayward Field, begins Thursday for the Class 3A, 2A and 1A schools and Friday for the Class 6A, 5A and 4A divisions. The Red Devils out-pointed runner-up Bandon and the other seven schools in the league to win both titles, led by individual
standouts. Gunner Yates won three events and also ran a leg on the winning 4x100-meter relay for Coquille’s boys while Trinidy Blanton won four events for the girls. Coquille’s boys scored 132 points, to 122 for Bandon and 100 for Myrtle Point. Coquille’s girls had 158 points, while Bandon had 132.5. Myrtle Point again was third with 84. Yates sped to wins in the 100 (11.38 seconds), 200 (22.88) and 400 (53.09). He teamed with Godfred Amonoo, Drake Watts and Brock Willis to win the 4x100 relay in 44.83 seconds.
Yates leads Class 2A in the shorter two sprints and Coquille also has the top time in the relay. The Red Devils also got wins in both hurdles races by Sabastian Montenero, who was timed in 17.45 in the 110-meter race and 44.15 in the 300-meter event. Ansen Converse raced to wins in both the 1,500 (4:13.48) and 3,000 (9:02.04) for Bandon. Hunter Angove had a new best clearance of 15 feet, ¼ inch to win the pole vault, easily the best in the state for Class 2A. His twin brother, Trevor, won the triple jump, an event he leads Class 2A in, with a leap of 42-2
and also qualified for state with runner-up finishes in the long jump (19-7), high jump (5-10, several inches off his state-leading 6-2) and 400 (53.58). Bandon also got a win in the 800 by Damian Avalos (2:09.24) and in the 4x400 relay by the quartet of Avalos, Converse, Hunter Angove and Patton Clark. Myrtle Point got wins in three field events, by Mason Detzler in the discus (116-9), Andres Villanueva in the javelin (15611) and Troy Warner in the long jump (19-7 ¾). Gold Beach’s Gianni Altman won the high jump on misses when he, Trevor
Angove and Coquille’s Willis all cleared 5-10. Blanton, meanwhile, led a number of Coquille state qualifiers for the girls. She had winning times of 13.29 in the 100 and 27.37 in the 200 and won the javelin (1200) and long jump (15-8 ¾). She leads Class 2A in the latter three events. Coquille had the top two finishers in four of the field events, with Callie Millet finishing second to Blanton in the javelin (112-8), Reagan Krantz (9-0) and Millet (8-6) going 1-2 in the pole Please see TRACK, Page A10

North Bend senior Adrianna Frank hits a forehand during the district championship match against Churchill. Frank and Olivia Knutson rolled to the Midwestern League doubles title.
North Bend duo claims district tennis crown By JOHN GUNTHER For The World
COOS BAY — As a freshman, North Bend’s Adrianna Frank reached the Class 5A tennis state final in doubles with then-senior Macy Metcalf. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Frank has had to wait until her senior year to get another chance at state. Frank and doubles partner Olivia Knutson rolled through the Midwestern League district tournament hosted by the Bulldogs, winning the title on Friday afternoon at the William J. Sweet Memorial Tennis Center. Now Frank hopes she and Knutson can make a similar run to her freshman year, when She and Metcalf won their first three matches before falling in the final against Olivia McGough and Sarah Forester of Corvallis. “I think if we work hard, we can,” Frank said. The pair overwhelmed their foes at district, including beating Sophia Donovan and Elise Gray of Churchill 6-1, 6-1. They only lost one other game during the tournament, in a 6-0, 6-1 semifinal win over Willamette’s Crystal Luna and Lizbeth Silva. “I feel like we played pretty good,” Knutson said. The seniors were North Bend’s only state qualifiers, though two other doubles teams came close. Sisters Madison and Emily West had match point in the third set pro set in the quarterfinals against Ashland’s Sofia Shelton and Talia Vivrett before losing three straight points in a 6-2, 5-7, 11-9 loss to the grizzlies.
In another match that would have qualified a North Bend pair for state, Trinity Barker and Haley Reeves lost to Willamette’s Luna and Silva 6-3, 7-5 in their quarterfinal match. “Obviously, they were close,” North Bend coach Corey Goll said of the two doubles teams. Still, he considered the district tournament to be good. North Bend finished third behind champion Churchill and Ashland in the team race. “It was still a successful tournament,” Goll said. “The kids played hard and they had fun.” Ultimately, only Frank and Knutson advanced to the state tournament in Portland this week. “I’m excited,” Knutson said. “I think we could do well.” Asked if she could impart any wisdom on her teammate since Knuston will be competing at state for the first time, Frank said, “Just have fun.” The two form a good team. “We just get along well,” Frank said. “We’re very composed and competitive and both willing to work hard,” added Knutson. They also tend to not get rattled during a tense game. “I think that’s essential,” Knutson said. “A lot of it is mental.” Goll said Knutson and Frank naturally flow well on the court. “They know where they need to be and can just keep the ball in play,” he said. “That’s paramount in doubles.” Both also attack the ball. “They have power behind everything they hit,” Goll said. “They’re solid. I think they
could do pretty good.” All of North Bend’s doubles teams did well at district, with Lauren Hayes and Sierah Martin winning a match before being eliminated and the Barker-Reeves and West-West pairings each winning two. North Bend’s singles players all lost in the first round. Ultimately, Ashland’s Veronica Miller beat Churchill’s Kazuki Tanaka 6-1, 6-2 in the championship match with Springfield’s Carina Davis beating Churchill’s McKenzie Larsen in the thirdplace match. In the third-place doubles match, Ashland’s Vivrett and Shelton beat Willamette’s Luna and Silva 6-1, 6-2. North Bend’s boys and Marshfield’s boys and girls were not able to get anyone to state in their tough districts. Churchill dominated the Midwestern League boys tournament with three of the four singles qualifiers for state, including champion Carsen Luna, and two of the four doubles teams. Ashland’s Mina Schepmann and Ian Bower won the doubles title. Marist Catholic’s boys were even more dominant in Marshfield’s Class 4A-3A-2A-1A special district. The Spartans had three of the four singles qualifiers, as well as three of the four doubles teams, including singles champion Lucas Franssen and doubles winners Peyton Tyner and Jack Kiefer. The girls champion was Klamath Union’s Patricia Dougherty and the St. Mary’s pair of Hannah Poisson and Pratheeka Weerakoon won the doubles title.
said. The Bobcats snapped Bandon’s unbeaten string with a 6-4 win last Tuesday, only Myrtle Point’s second league win, but the Tigers bounced right back the next day with a 4-1 win over Toledo. Chris Butler, one of a few key seniors for Bandon, said the Tigers have been doing well. “The only bad thing so far is getting a little ahead of ourselves,” he said, referring back to the loss in Myrtle Point. “We showed up expecting to win and got smacked,” Butler said, adding that normally hasn’t
been a problem this year. “As long as our effort is there, we’re pretty good.” The win against Toledo wasn’t a blowout, but the Tigers did play well. Ace Colton Siewell needed 29 pitches to get through the first inning, when the Boomers scored their run. “He settled in,” Ferrell said. “He was pretty much unstoppable after (the first).” Toledo finished with just four hits and Siewell struck out nine. Bandon tied the score in the bottom of the first when Cooper
Bandon clinches district baseball title By JOHN GUNTHER For The World
BANDON — The Bandon baseball team was rolling toward the Sunset Conference (Class 2A-1A District 5) title with an unbeaten record and getting a little lackadaisical when it should have been gearing up for the state playoffs. The Tigers hope one rough afternoon in Myrtle Point turned their attention back to the right focus. “Sometimes you have to get slapped in the face to figure it out,” Bandon coach Jay Ferrell
Please see BANDON, Page A11
Bandon’s softball team wasn’t able to knock off league-leading Toledo last week, but the Tigers were able to clinch a spot in the Class 2A-1A playoffs by sweeping a doubleheader at Siletz Valley later in the week. Bandon had hoped to even the league standings with Toledo, but instead the Boomers came to town Wednesday and shut out the Tigers 6-0. “I hope we were going to get to them,” Bandon coach Brandon Gallagher said. But the Tigers weren’t able to break through against Toledo’s Mariah Frederic. “They’re a very solid team,” Gallagher said. “Their pitcher is lights-out. She knows how to move the ball around.” The Boomers also hit well, he noted, and they took advantage of a few Bandon miscues to add to their lead. Bandon followed the loss with a 26-7, 15-0 sweep at Siletz Valley that clinched second place in the standings with only a home game Tuesday against Gold Beach remaining in the regular season. Gallagher told his team to keep its focus after its loss to Toledo. “We put this behind us and get ready for Siletz,” he said. Aside from the two losses to Toledo, all Bandon’s games have been victories by the mercy rule. “We have a good core, Gallagher said. “We have six seniors. They play hard. “It’s a good group.” Bandon is led by those seniors — Avery Pounder, Kadence Teel, Angelina Morones, Trinitie Long-Hindman, Alyssa Duenas and Carlee Freitag. The Tigers also are relentless in their preparation. “We work on defense a lot,” Gallagher said. “We stay on top of our defense. “And we’ve been doing a lot of hitting. We know we’re going to face good teams.” The league gets three spots in the playoffs, with Toledo and Bandon already having clinched theirs. Reedsport took a big step toward the third when it won at Coquille 16-5 on Wednesday, leaving them a game in front of the Red Devils with two to go — at Myrtle Point on Monday and Waldport on Tuesday. Coquille’s final two games were against Gold Beach on Monday and at Myrtle Point on Tuesday. BULLDOGS WIN TWO: North Bend swept North Eugene on Wednesday, winning 2-0 and 4-3 in games played in Eugene with North Bend the home team (there were not enough available umpires on the South Coast for the doubleheader). In the opener, Sarah Shore gave up just one hit and struck out 13 for North Bend and also scored one of the runs on a single by Mya Reynon. Reynon had the other run, driven in by Allison Burgmeier. The nightcap turned into a thriller, with North Eugene scoring its only runs of the doubleheader in the top of the seventh to take a 3-1 lead. In North Bend’s half of the inning, Hayden Napier walked and Burgmeier hit a single. Then, with two outs, Emma Spalding tied the game with a two-run single and Shore scored Riddle with the winning run with a drive

Bandon’s Avery Pounder focuses before throwing a pitch. to the gap in the outfield. Spalding had three hits and also a key defensive play in the top of the seventh to limit North Eugene’s offensive inning. Shore also drove in North Bend’s first run of the game, and earned praise from Olson. “I could take up your entire sports page telling you how important Sarah Shore’s leadership has helped this young team improve as much as it has,” he said. North Bend dropped two close games at Thurston on Saturday, 6-3, and 5-3, and is 4-10 in Midwestern League play. BASEBALL PIRATES GET BIG WINS: Marshfield edged visiting Elmira 6-4 and 6-5 on Wednesday to move within a win of securing second place and a home game in the Class 4A play-in round. Ryder Easton had a double and scored three runs in the opener and Joe Herbert had two RBIs. Cobin Bouska and Kris Campbell combined for three scoreless innings of relief to help secure the win. The nightcap came down to the bottom of the seventh inning. After Elmira scored four runs in the top of the inning to tie the game, Marshfield’s Gannon Frost had a bases-loaded walk to bring in the winning run. Dom Montiel had a home run and scored three times in the win and Drake Rogers had a double and scored twice. Marshfield was 10-3 with a doubleheader at Siuslaw remaining, a game in front of Junction City, which still had a doubleheader against Cottage Grove, and a game behind Marist Catholic, which had a doubleheader against Elmira remaining on the schedule. REEDSPORT WINS TWO: Reedsport got a pair of big wins to move within one win of clinching second place behind Bandon in the Sunset Conference (Class 2A-1A District 5). The Brave won at Coquille 6-4 on Wednesday and then beat Toledo 10-2 on Saturday. Those wins improved Reedsport to 9-3, while third-place Coquille is 8-4 and lost both games to the Brave. Reedsport had games remaining at Myrtle Point on Monday and at home against Waldport on Tuesday, with wins in either one clinching a playoff spot. Coquille also needed just one win to secure a playoff spot with games remaining at home against Gold Beach on Monday and at Myrtle Point on Tuesday. Gold Beach (5-5) could catch Coquille by sweeping its remaining games, also including a contest at Bandon on Tuesday and a doubleheader at Siletz Valley on Wednesday.

Roman Fritz led a 1-2-3 finish in the javelin for North Bend with a throw of 170-2, followed by Keegan Young (164-8) and Henry Hood (152-8).

SKY-EM LEAGUE: Marshfield’s boys and girls finished third in the district meet at Junction City, the team titles won by Cottage Grove’s boys and Marist Catholic’s girls. Marshfield’s boys had a typically strong showing in the pole vault, qualifying all three entrants to the state meet. Jonathan Parks beat Trent Summers for the title based on misses after both cleared 14-4 and Danner Wilson hit the automatic qualifying mark of 13-4. Siuslaw’s Camp Lacouture (13-10) and Kyle Hughes (13-4) also qualified in the event. Alex Garcia-Silver gave the Pirates a second champion on the opening day by winning the 3,000 in 9:00.68, just ahead of Siuslaw’s Samuel Ulrich (9:01.99) and Chad Hughes (9:03.70). Garcia-Silver also won the 1,500 on the final day of the meet (4:08.26). The Pirates swept the two boys relays, with Aaron Hutchins, Elijah Fox, Cael Church and Jonathan Parks winning the 4x100 in 44.68 and the same quartet finishing in 3:31.96 for the 4x400. Matthew Allen placed second in the discus (12311) and Ismael Rodriguez in the 800 (2:01.42) for Marshfield, both behind Siuslaw athletes. Jonathan Rose won the discus (1380) and shot put (42-7 ¼) for the Vikings and Ulrich won the 800 (1:58.68). Marshfield’s girls had three winners. The first was Kate Miles, who took the javelin only six weeks after picking up the spear for the first time. Miles won with a new best throw of 113-1, which gives her a good chance of placing at state next week. Daphne Scriven won the discus (103-11) ahead of teammate Tori Cox (90-6) and Charlie Dea won the 300 hurdles (48.83). Bailey Wallack was
second in the 400 (1:01.96) and teamed with Dea, Ava Thomas and Alyrian Covey to place second in the 4x400 relay (4:30.56).

Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon to celebrate birthday bash 2022 marks the 40th birthday of the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon. Over the 40 years that the club has been serving local communities, the needs have changed and challenges have evolved, but the community support has been a constant. To celebrate and thank the community for this support, the club is hosting a free Birthday Bash on May 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will be held at the club’s Youth Center facility, 3333 Walnut Avenue in Coos Bay. There will be carnival games and prizes, live music by Def Cougar Mellencamp, Coos Bay fire and police vehicles, Elkhorn Barbeque and Pappa Dogs food trucks and free birthday treats. Founded in April 1982, the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon has been providing thousands of young people throughout Coos County with affordable, high-quality after-school and summer programs. This milestone is an opportunity for the club to share and celebrate a continued mission to empower all young people
to achieve their full potential as caring, productive, responsible community members. Formally known as Southwestern Oregon Youth Activities, the organization began as a youth sports program when local school districts cut elementary sports programs from their budgets. Shortly after the organization’s inception, the Club also began offering SeaBreeze Sports Camps during the summer months. While the sports program remains an integral part of its programming, it was the Board of Governors 1992 decision to join Boys & Girls Clubs of America that changed the scope of the organization forever. In 1993, the club began offering educational enrichment classes ranging from watercolors to forensic science. In the early years, these classes were held after school and on the weekends in local schools. Continuing the expansion of program diversity, in 1995 the William J. Sweet Memorial Tennis Center opened and began offering tennis programs.

Point,” he said. “They hit the ball well. They threw strikes and played D when they had to.” Bandon’s response was quick Wednesday, and the Tigers clinched the title with a doubleheader sweep against Siletz Valley at Toledo on Friday (14-12 and 18-6). That leaves Bandon looking ahead to the Class 2A-1A playoffs. “I’m looking forward to a bunch of practice next week and praying for decent weather,” Ferrell said. “We need good weather.” The Tigers would love to make a run in the postseason. “I’m very excited,” said Butler. “If we keep playing well and practice like we have been, we could go pretty far.”

Lang scored and it stayed 1-1 until the sixth. Connor Devine opened that inning with a perfect drag bunt single and stole second. He scored on a hard grounder to third that turned into a Toledo error. Butler walked and a sacrifice by Will Panagaskis pushed the runners up to second and third. With two outs, Brandon Wilson came through with a two-run single to add the insurance runs. “We finally got a twoout hit,” Ferrell said. He said the loss to Myrtle Point was not a fluke. “Give it to Myrtle

Brown visits Confederated Tribes Governor Kate Brown traveled to Coos County last week, where she visited the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians. The governor was joined by Tribal Chair Brad Kneaper and Vice Chair Julie Siestreem, as well as other Tribal Council members and staff.
The governor visited culturally relevant sites, including Sunset Bay State Park and Gregory Point, Tribal Hall and the Plankhouse. The governor also visited the Tribe’s natural resources center, which included a tour of the natural resources lab, green house, curation room and canoe shelter.
“I was delighted to visit with the Confederat ed Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians,” said Governor Brown. “I want to thank Chair Brad Kneaper, Vice Chair Julie Siestreem, and the other Tribal Council members and staff for hosting me, and especially for allowing me the opportuni-
ty to learn about the efforts the Tribe is making to preserve coastal waterways––which are central to the Tribe’s culture, subsistence, and way of life. I look forward to future opportunities to strengthen Oregon’s long-standing government-to-government relationship with the Tribe.”

volunteers have cleaned 35 tons of trash off Oregon beaches. Most of it is cleaned and later turned into the sculptures the organization is known for. Building a sculpture requires the vision and work of artists like Steve Wright with the help of dozens of volunteers. Dougherty said volunteers are always welcome at the new Coos Bay facility from 3 to 7 p.m. Wednesdays and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays. “We have one artist, two art assistants and a lot of volunteers,” Dougherty said. During the ribbon cutting, Dougherty said she hopes the move to Coos Bay will open the artwork to many new people. “We’re very happy to have you all come out and see our facility,” Dougherty said. “We’re so happy to be in Coos Bay. We want this place to be a place to come and help and learn.” Before he cut the ribbon, Bill Bradley, the chair of the Washed Ashore board, said the road the organization has taken over the least 11 years has been amazing.

“It has been an amazing experience for me to go through all the different steps we’ve been through the last 10 years,” Bradley said. “It’s been remarkable to see the different places these incredible sculptures have been. This is clearly the perfect space. It’s so amazing to see Washed Ashore land here.” Wright has been working with Washed Ashore as an artist for four years. He said turning trash into art is a challenge, even for an experience artists like him. During the ribbon cutting, he took a break from working on a sea horse that was commissioned by a private company. He said being in the warehouse was a big step, giving the artists room to store the plastic that was cleaned up and room to create larger sculptures. He also praised the volunteers that help with every piece. “I can’t say how much everyone helps,” he said. “All he volunteers are so important to help make this. This is my new home. It’s hard to get away from here actually.” Wright said the day Washed Ashore moved in, work on sculptures continued. A tiger rockfish sculpture recently unveiled in Bandon was the first

created in the new space. He said when one sculpture is finished, work immediately begins on another one. “We usually move right into another one,” he said. “I already know of two coming up. We’re doing a corral reef next for our own exhibit.” Wright pointed around
the warehouse that was filled with totes of different plastics - bottles, fishing gear, toys and much more. “Everything you see is off our beaches or the ocean,” he said. Brad Parks, the conservation and education director for Washed Ashore, said having a location is Coos Bay is already paying
off. “The connection to the community and the businesses that have already welcomed us is amazing,” Parks said. “Even with what Washed Ashore has already done, we have a bigger job in front of us.” He said the COVID-19 pandemic has lead to a
new wave of trash in the ocean - masks, gloves and medical waste. “Even more than ever, Washed Ashore is in the position where we have so much to do,” Parks said. The Washed Ashore Warehouse is located at 1584 N. 7th Street and guests are always welcome.
