North Bend council punishes one of its own
Noordhoff removed from role as liasion to committees, boards By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
The North Bend City Council took a dramatic step Tuesday in an effort to control one of its own members. In a 6-0 vote, the council
removed Councilor Susanna Noordhoff from all city boards, commissions and lay committees. Noordhoff was not at the meeting. Councilor Larry Garboden brought up the topic, saying the council must act to protect itself and North Bend.
“We’ve all witnessed the lack of decorum and continued violation of council rules, seeing the city spend money to provide training, legal fees and staff time for the benefit of one councilor,” Garboden said. “Also given the potential grievances this one council member has
done inside and outside the council chambers, I think it’s best we sever as many ties to this one council member as possible.” Garboden then made a motion to remove Noordhoff from her liaison role to city committees, boards and commissions.
Each members of the council then spoke about their coming vote. “I think we’ve spent an awful lot of time since us new people got elected on the council and some of it was time we really didn’t need to Please see Punishes, Page A3
Resilience highlights the Class of 2021 Coos Bay Council approves list of city goals
North Bend seniors march through rain to receive diplomas By JILLIAN WARD For The World
NORTH BEND ─ North Bend High School’s graduating class of 2021 overcame the pandemic, a year of distance learning and even the rain. On Friday evening, 170 seniors sat three feet apart in the middle of the football field during a rainstorm. Some opened umbrellas, others donned ponchos, but all walked across the stage to receive their diplomas. “In the past year, even today, (we have been) taught to be resilient,” said Kevin Bogatin, superintendent of the North Bend School District, during the graduation ceremony. He pointed to the uncertainty brought on by the pandemic and the doubt that the graduating class would be able to gather for a ceremony at all. In an earlier interview, Bogatin said though the ceremony would be outside it was still more traditional than the graduation ceremony from 2020. “Last year, we did a drive-thru graduation,” he recalled, but added the only part of last year’s event to be carried on were the posters of the graduates along the high school’s fence surrounding the stadium and track field. “(But) our graduation is typically in the high school gym. This year, it is outdoors.” The ceremony was held on the football field to accommodate current pandemic restrictions. “It’s a step in the right direction to getting back to some normalcy,” he said. This included allowing students four guests to sit in the audience during the Friday ceremony, all of

After persevering through a global pandemic, a year for distance learning and the death of a classmate, the North Bend High School Class of 2021 had to endure a rainstorm while rececing their diplomas. Despite the difficulties, the 170 students marched through the rain to graduate Friday.

Ardiana to retire after 33 years in education By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
Doug Ardiana jokes that he’s spent the last 56 years going to school. This week, that streak will end. Ardiana, the superintendent of the Bandon School District, will close out a 33-year career in graduation when he does what he always has – greeting every student who arrives to school and waving at the buses when they drive away. Ardiana will step into retirement knowing he gave his all to students, the last six years in Bandon after more than 26 in Montana. And he will retire the same way he taught, his own way. For Ardiana, that meant getting up and personal with students. “One of my hallmark Mr. Ardiana things is to be at the buses every morning and greet every student with a smile,” Ardiana said. “I’ve done that everywhere. As a classroom teacher, I stood at my door and greeted students. As a Please see Ardiana, Page A2

Earlier this month, the Coos Bay City Council unanimously approved their city goals for the next two years. The goals highlight issues and projects the city council hopes to prioritize over the next two years. Some of the goals include finding funding to build a new library at John Topits Park. The goal includes finding funding from federal, state, granting organizations and donations along with asking voters to approve a bond issue. The city also hopes to begin planning to move the city shops facility our of the tsunami zone as well as planning to build a new fire station in Empire. Among other goals, the city hopes to complete roadwork on 4th Street downtown, stabilize the slope on Koosbay Boulevard and develop design plans to improve the Newmark Avenue intersection with Empire Boulevard. The goals include street repairs, more sidewalks around the city and developing several parking lots. One of the big challenges in the list of goals is the city taking over its wastewater plant, which is happening in the coming weeks. The city also hopes to replace two pump stations and upgrade two more. Increasing housing and mitigating homelessness is another key goal, with a specific goal of cleaning up the former Englewood School property so it can be turned into housing. The council is also hoping to create a smart phone app to better communicate with citizens as well as update the city’s website. In parks, the council is planning to resurface the Mingus Park Pool, install fishing piers at Mingus Park, creating a community park on Fulton Avenue and add athletic and sports fields. In the city’s Friday update, Mayor Joe Benetti said he believes the goals can be accomplished. “It is a lofty list, but definitely not outside of the possibility to complete,” Benetti wrote. “As we have found with past biennial goal lists, the lists are ‘live’ and often ebb and flow with necessity of change. We will remain flexible to ensure we are focused on the needs of the community and the responsibility entrusted to maintain the city’s assets in good working order.” The complete list of council goals can be seen at http://coosbay.org/government#city-goals.

Epic implementation gives patients easy access to health records Bay Area Hospital, North Bend Medical Center, Bay Clinic and Advanced Health officially go live with Epic, an electronic health record system, June 19. Using one common EHR allows Coos County’s major healthcare providers to standardize practices, support care coordination, improve evidence-based care and make a patient’s healthcare experience more efficient from start to finish. Used by more than 250 healthcare organizations nationwide, Epic provides almost half the U.S. population access to their medical records through online and mobile. Patients can take better charge of their own health with easy access to medical records and have continuity of care across Epic-supported healthcare organizations. To ensure a seamless transition to the new EHR platform, the local healthcare organizations are working with their Community Connect partner, St. Charles Health System in Bend. “With Epic we are thrilled to be able to provide patients with a secure platform to broaden their access to healthcare. MyChart is a convenient way for patients to interact with their health information, and ultimately be more informed when it comes to their healthcare plans and options,” said Brian Moore, president and CEO.

principal, I stood at the front door. As superintendent, I met the buses.” Ardiana said he believes knowing every student is a vital part of doing his job. “It’s huge the impact,” he said. “I can turn a frown into a smile. I have my notebook and students can tell me things.” Ardiana recalled one student this year who started coming to school without his glasses. After a few days, Ardiana asked the student about it and learned the glasses were broken. So, the superintendent set up an exam with a local optometrist and helped the student get new glasses. “Greeting students every morning is huge as far as building relationships and letting them see I care,” he said. And Ardiana cares deeply. He knows the students, he knows their families and he knows their strengths and weaknesses. As he wrapped up his day Thursday, he spent time looking over handmade cards fifth-grade art students gave him after he taught their class earlier this year. Reading the cards, Ardiana became visibly emotional
about the handwritten notes inside. Ardiana began his career 33 years ago as a high school art teacher in Glendive, Montana. He taught art for eight years before serving as an elementary principal, high school principal, athletic director, middle school principal and the last 22 years as superintendent. Ardiana spent his career in Montana until he got the opportunity to come to Bandon six years ago. Ardiana said his view on education was formed largely from what he experienced. “When I was working on the Crow reservation, a lot of the time they didn’t have phones, so I did a lot of home visits,” he said. “I learned conversational Crow because that’s what my community spoke. I learned from the kids and checked it with elders. It was a great way to integrate. Because I learned Crow, I had a lot more respect in the community.” Six years ago, Ardiana made the biggest leap of his career when he took the job as superintendent in Bandon. He said the opportunity was exactly what he was looking for at the time. “I moved to Oregon for the opportunity to be superintendent, because of the size of the community and the
Office
quality of the community,” he said. “I was not interested in a big community. All of my career has been in small schools.” Ardiana said he intended to stay in Bandon longer, but personal tragedy in the last year led to his decision to retire. He explained that his sister died in July and his mom died of Parkinson’s disease. With his dad needing more care, Ardiana said it was time to retire and tend to his family. While the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a lot of stress, Ardiana said it did not play a role in his decision to retire. “It’s been overwhelming in government paperwork, regulations, protocols that have been rapidly changing,” he said. “It was really hard saying you could be on a bus at three feet but the second you got off, it was six feet. COVID had nothing to do with my decision to make a change. It was clearly because of family.” As he prepares to step away, Ardiana admits it will be difficult. “This has been a tremendous experience being involved with a very supportive and educationally focused community,” he said. “We as a community and a school district have done some great

things to impact our system, from updating our curriculum to the proactive maintenance of our buildings and passing the recent bond issue. “It will be sad. Beginnings are scary and endings are said. You can’t put your heart and soul into a community for six years and not feel sad when it’s over. I know I’ve made a difference in our kids’ lives.” The students in Bandon agree. Eighth-grader Nena Minkler said she has grown to like Ardiana, who has twice served as middle school principal during her term as superintendent. “I think he’s stood in to be principal twice since I’ve been here,” Minkler said. “He has a really good way of getting stuff done and not being too strict and making them fun. I really like Mr. Ardiana. I know he really wants to get us in school and he wants us to have the best learning environment, which was really nice because the year was so strange.” Andrew Robertson, a junior at Bandon High School, said Ardiana was always around, which made a difference. “I think he did a good job when he was here,” Robertson said. “Every morning, he was out front of the lunch room, and he’s always at the games for basketball.” Sophomore Daniel Cabrera had similar thoughts. “Really great guy,” he said. “I was school president in middle school and at the time he was principal, so I got to work a lot with him. He was really helpful. He really made it a fun year for students on the council and in school.” As Ardiana steps away, he said it might not sink in fully until September, when he won’t go to school for the first time in decades. “I’m 56. You start kindergarten when you’re 5,” he said. “I’ve been going to school for 51 years. This September will be the first time in 51 years I’m not going to school.” To honor Ardiana and welcome new Superintendent Shauna Schmerer, the Bandon School District is inviting the community to a meet and greet from 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Bandon Cafeteria.

Medford tech entrepreneur announces run for governor Last week, Jessica Gomez officially announced her candidacy to be the next governor of Oregon. “It is time for Oregonians to work together to build a future in which we can all be proud,” said Gomez. “I firmly believe the strength of our state lies in our differences.” Gomez believes that Oregon is overdue for a policy re-boot and will regain its proper footing only through strategic planning and investing. “We’ve been through tough times, endured devastating wildfires, a global pandemic and continuous rioting. It is easy to point fingers and complain about failed leadership, but that accomplishes nothing,” said Gomez. “The negative impact to our communities is painfully clear. What is crucial is that we make the best decisions
moving forward.” Gomez, a small business owner, believes Oregon’s recovery depends on creating an attractive business climate with more jobs and opportunities across the state. She wants to build strong regional economies, not pile on relentless taxes and regulations. Gomez will encourage targeted investments in broadband, water and transportation infrastructure so both urban and rural communities can support growth in industries such as biotech, advanced manufacturing, value added agriculture and wood products. To help attract more women into the workforce, Gomez said she would encourage employers to offer at-work childcare and classify employer-based childcare as a non-taxable benefit for both employer and employee. Gomez also wants to
restructure Oregon’s social safety net so that participation in Oregon’s workforce is always financially rewarding. Giving Oregon students greater opportunities to build academic skills is also of paramount importance to Gomez - who despite not being able to read at age 9, ultimately went on to college and, at age 26, built the first state-of-the-art microchip manufacturing facility in Southern Oregon. “Higher education, and especially community colleges, are underfunded in Oregon – this must change so skyrocketing tuition and student debt does not prevent all Oregonians from reaching their full potential,” she said. Gomez would push for implementation of a Universal College Credit Program where all college credits earned at any apprenticeship, community college or public university in Oregon can
be transferred to any other Oregon university. Gomez’s experiences as a homeless teen also taught her the complexities of unsheltered homelessness and unsafe streets. She says that law enforcement is essential to improving safety in all communities, and statewide training and education standards for law enforcement personnel must be implemented. The homelessness problem needs a comprehensive solution, funded by reallocating existing dollars toward a coordinated mental health and public safety infrastructure, she said. “Learning to survive, then THIS FRIDAY, striving, and finally thriving, is how I describe my personal journey. Oregon can again truly thrive with all of us striving together,” said Gomez. To learn more visit: jessicagomezforgovernor.com

Bill to lower costs for cold medicine passes Senate A proposal from Representative Bill Post (R-Keizer) to allow the sale of pseudoephedrine products without a prescription passed out of the Senate today and will be sent to the governor’s desk. This is the third attempt from Post to remove an unnecessary barrier for Oregonians that will lower their health care costs when purchasing pseudoephedrine products.
Sudafed and other similar drugs will still be restricted to people who are at least 18 years of age with a valid ID under the proposal. Currently, purchasing a pseudoephedrine product requires a visit to your doctor to receive a prescription, which comes with an expensive bill. “Third time is the charm to pass this common-sense bill which will help Oregonians
looking for a quick and affordable remedy for allergies and head colds,” said Rep. Post. “People shouldn’t be asked to visit a doctor to obtain a prescription for common cold medicine, especially when Oregon is the ONLY state requiring a prescription. We can trust Oregonians more than that.” HB 2648 passed out of the Senate with bipartisan support.

spent an inordinate amount of time going through parks.” Tensions between Noordhoff and the council as a whole have been simmering for a while, but the tensions boiled over during a council work session Monday. During a discussion item about placing benches in the maple groves at Ferry Road Park, Noordhoff took a decidedly different view than the council as a whole. Noordhoff told the council the project could move forward immediately, while the remaining six members asked her to wait for an archeological study, a parks master plan update and formal approval from the Affiliated Tribes. City Administrator David Milliron said the city not only should wait but must wait for tribe approval. He said a prior approval had been removed from the tribe, and the city is required to work with the tribe when making any changes to the park. During the discussion, Mayor Jessica Engelke repeatedly ignored Noordhoff’s calls to be heard, one time using the gavel to shut her down. When Noordhoff was giv-
en the chance to speak, she slammed her papers on her desk, sending them scattering on the floor. Engelke said that kind of behavior is something that left council little choice but to take the move it did Tuesday. “It’s very frustrating that we’ve got to this position,” the mayor said. “I know the other councilors and myself, we’ve taken steps to try to get to the point of not removing another councilor from committees. But this is what we need to do, what’s best for the city. Because of the participation of this particular councilor on committees, that’s not happening. In one of the trainings we’ve had now twice, you have to do things differently.” Slater ended the discussion by saying he hopes things turn around. “I think it’s a very necessary step, but I want this councilor to know we’re interested in her success,” Slater said. “We’re here to help you, but we’re not going to stay here.” After the discussion, the council voted 6-0 to remove Noordhoff from her committee liaison appointments.

spend,” Councilor Pat Goll said. “Something’s got to change or I’m gonna change, one of the two.” Councilman Eric Gleason, who was elected with Noodhoff and Goll last year, had similar feelings. “It’s not a step I wanted or anticipated we’d have to take when this whole thing came when we first got elected,” Gleason said. “There’s growing pains, but the learning curve, it’s not that steep. We’ve had the training on more than one occasion. There have been warnings, recommendations, and at a certain point, you have to be held accountable for the things you continuously do. I don’t feel we have a choice at the moment.” Councilman Bill Richardson echoed the sentiments. “I feel the same way,” he said. “We’ve had several trainings. This is the first and hopefully the last step we have to take with this person.” Councilman Timm Slater said Noordhoff’s passion toward city parks is good but said the council must be able to focus on other issues, as well. “The parks of North Bend are important, and we all appreciate them,” he said. “Looking beyond them, I’m interested in road repairs and economic development of our area and all the opportunities out there. We need to focus our time and efforts on that. It’s been obvious we’ve

is excited the class and staff get to celebrate together. “So many have already moved on with adult responsibilities with taking on college classes, having jobs, so this really is a closure to their childhood and celebration of their success.” Bogatin acknowledged all the hardships faced by the graduating class which stretched beyond the pandemic and distance learning. It also included the loss of fellow classmate Ian Spalding, who passed away a year ago and sent a shockwave through the community. “…This is a group that is too familiar with tragedy, and it can be difficult to see anything positive from those experiences,” Bogatin said during the ceremony. “If you can learn to be reflective you can learn to see how pain and sorrow and despair can provide you with opportunities.” He encouraged the class

to seize those opportunities by making more friends and embracing new adventures. Graduating senior Dakota Gaul said he knew Spalding from their days in elementary school together and the loss of his close friend was the biggest challenge he faced in the past year. He explained he had to decide what to do next, questioning if he wanted to go back to school. “…I had to deal with what to do,” Gaul said. “(Did) I want to play sports, come back to school? Because it was so hard for me to even look at a North Bend High School symbol. But I got to think of what (Spalding) would want for me. He’d want me to play sports and finish high school just like he would have.” Gaul stood beside a banner honoring Spalding, which was displayed alongside the football field. He said that after graduation, he plans to attend Lane Community College, play soccer and step into the modeling business. “I see myself playing Photos by Jillian Ward/For The World

After COVID-19 fiasco, a sign of internal reform at the FDA? By Thomas L. Knapp On June 7, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration granted “accelerated approval” to Biogen’s new Alzheimer’s medication, aducanumab, two years after the company halted its first set of Phase 3 clinical trials over “disappointing” results. Accelerated approval is based not on the usual required finding that a drug is proven “effective,” but instead on a finding that it is “reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit.” The decision comes with some controversy. FDA advisor Dr. Caleb Alexander is “surprised and disappointed” by the decision, saying he thinks the FDA “gave the product a pass” despite lacking good evidence for its efficacy. Dr. Patrizia Cavazzoni, director of FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research acknowledges “residual uncertainties,” but holds that “the data supports patients and caregivers having the choice” to try aducanumab. In a free society, the FDA would have no authority to come between doctors, patients and medical treatment choices in the first place. Private certification mechanisms, like those provided by Underwriters Laboratories for electrical equipment, would almost certainly do a better and cheaper job of ensuring the safety and efficacy of medications and treatments. Doctors, insurers and most patients would likely heed the findings of such mechanisms. As for those who choose “alternative medicine,” home remedies, and even potentially dangerous black market drugs, they already make those choices now, regardless of what FDA says, and they would likely continue to do so. Nonetheless, “accelerated approval” of aducanumab is a good sign and hopefully the beginning of a trend. FDA foot-dragging has likely killed tens of thousands of patients

Thomas L. Knapp every year for decades. It takes far too long and costs far too much to get government approval of life-saving medications. From beta blockers to human body glue, Americans have paid for FDA’s skewed incentives and bureaucratic delays with their lives. That continuous but largely unnoticed cost became, tragically, much higher and much more obvious last year. More than 300,000 Americans - including my mother - died in the six-month interregnum between Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine establishing its basic safety and FDA finally granting an emergency use authorization. We’ll never know how many departed friends and loved ones might still be with us if FDA had applied a “reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit” standard to medications we count on today but had to wait years for. Can FDA make itself more useful and less deadly? Only time will tell. Here’s hoping the answer is yes. Thomas L.

Foreign reference pricing schemes would jeopardize seniors’ health By Saul Anuzis It’s a good time to be an American senior. Average life expectancy has risen steadily for most of the last century. Quality of life is going up too. Much of this improvement comes from new medicines. Cancer death rates have declined 26 percent in the United States since the early 1990s, with most of the gain in survival due to novel treatments. Of course, new medicines cost money, which is why lawmakers are trying to lower out-of-pocket drug expenses for seniors. Amid these efforts, though, an idea that would do more harm than good has gained traction. Foreign reference pricing, as it is known, is the centerpiece of H.R. 3, a bill recently reintroduced in the House, and has popped up in other legislation. Unfortunately, it would put many life-saving treatments out of reach, and dry up funding for research into future medicines. Foreign reference pricing schemes tie the price of prescription drugs in the United States to the amount paid in foreign countries. H.R. 3, for example, says that drugs sold in the United States cannot cost more than 120 percent of its average cost in six other countries - Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom.
As it happens, the reference countries have socialized medical systems in which governments dictate drug price. They also have significant problems with access to medicine. Wherever they are enacted, drug price controls reduce the number of new medicines available to patients. This usually happens because companies, unable to afford the immediate financial hit of below-market prices, delay introducing their products in those countries. Of 220 new drugs that came to market worldwide between 2011 and 2017, 87 percent were available in the United States. But in Germany, only 71 percent were available, in Great Britain, 67 percent, and in Japan, Canada, and France, the figure was less than half. Shortages also crop up. Canadian pharmacists routinely report scarcities of everything from EpiPens to heart medication. French and British pharmacists have likewise reported shortfalls of essential medicine in recent years. Foreign reference pricing would also curtail new drug development, which would be even worse for seniors in the long run. Slashing drug-company income through price controls will slash the amount they invest into research and development. Estimates
suggest that H.R. 3 would cut the industry’s research and development budget by $200 billion over a decade. We would never know what didn’t get invented as a result. Finally, price controls would lead us toward a drug evaluation system that is dangerous to seniors. Government-run healthcare systems have to choose which medicines to cover, and so have turned to a metric called a “quality-adjusted life year,” or QALY. Medicines that deliver a year of “perfect” health to a patient receive one QALY. A drug that adds a year of less-than-perfect health is worth a fraction of a QALY, and deemed less cost-effective. In countries like Canada and Great Britain, drugs with low QALY scores go un-reimbursed. But this system discriminates against patients who, due to age or chronic conditions, will never meet the bureaucracy’s definition of “perfect health.” Lowering out-of-pocket pharmacy costs is critical, of course. But foreign reference pricing would come with negative side effects and bring our upward trajectory of better health for seniors to a halt. Saul Anuzis is President of 60 Plus, the American Association of Senior Citizens. This piece was originally published by the Southern California News Group.

Love one another? Really? I am writing in response to an article I read on The World website titled “Love One Another.” I would like to give my point of view in regard to Ms. Davenport’s letter.
If she believes in the First Amendment and civil rights/liberties, why does she have to be “disturbed” by someone else’s views and what they choose to display on their private property? I am a Mexican-American woman; I do not feel attacked one bit by any of the flags you are speaking of. I’m definitely not part of the “white privilege/nationalism/government/ tradition/supremacy” she mentions, nor I do not see any racism whatsoever to any of this. I’m a little clueless of Ms. Davenport connecting the LGBTQ community, as I don’t view any of those flags as singling out a specific sexual orientation. The most absurd comment of all, “My ‘guess’ is that black people are less than dogs and should be shot (?).” Have you actually spoken to whomever lives there to ask what the meaning is to each flag, or do you just ‘guess’ the flags are hateful/racist rhetoric? Has it ever occurred to you that maybe someone who lives there is another race other than “white” or just a ‘guess’? This letter is purely speculation by Ms. Davenport and assumptions and honestly targeting who lives there. Maybe you need to practice your comment of “Love one another” and realize not everyone believes what you do, and you need to practice “agree to disagree.” It would be a pretty cut and dry world if we had the same opinions, beliefs and thoughts. The United States of America allows us these freedoms, therefore if you are so
offended and disturbed, you might want to take another route to get where you are going. Casandra Garcia Smith River
A shot for a million or a shot for a taco? With great curiosity, I read your story about the need of the state to be more creative by offering cash prizes to people for getting vaccinated. Specifically, what I’m most curious about is will those who have already been vaccinated qualify for this vaccination incentive cash prize? And then I really let out a laugh when your story suggested that since Latino, Hispanic and Indigenous people, who might be reluctant to show ID or proof of citizenship, would be offered a taco from a food truck where they get vaccinated. A shot for a taco is how Oralia Mendez put it. Is it just me or does this really seem strange? For citizens receiving the dose, you offer large cash payments. But for the less fortunate, indigenous people you only offer a taco? I believe they have a name for that kind of conduct. Sounds very suspicious to me. Maybe that’s why they call it herd immunity, because we are all just considered to be as cattle.

Fire restrictions go into effect on BLM lands in Coos Bay District As the weather warms and fire danger increases, Bureau of Land Management Coos Bay District officials are implementing public use restrictions on BLM-managed lands on the southern Oregon coast. Starting June 11 at 12:01 a.m., certain activities on BLM-managed lands in Coos, Douglas, and Curry Counties will be restricted to prevent human-caused fire and reduce wildfire potential. Under the current restriction, campfires are allowed
at the BLM’s Smith River Falls Campground, northeast of Reedsport on the Smith River. In all other areas, visitors can use portable cooking stoves that use liquefied or bottled fuels. Otherwise, campfires or any other type of open fire, including the use of charcoal briquettes, is prohibited. “While we have received some precipitation this week, it is still extremely dry in the forests,” said Steve Lydick, Coos Bay district manager.
DEAR ABBY
“We responded to several abandoned campfires over Memorial Day weekend at our recreation sites and we need visitors’ help preventing a wildfire from starting in these challenging conditions.” According to Coos Forest Protective Association, the area received only one inch of rain in April, and only slightly more in May. The rainfall average in these months is typically around three inches.

WIFE DEVASTATED TO LEARN OF HUSBAND’S PRIOR CONQUESTS
DEAR ABBY: I met my husband on the job when we were one year out of school. We are both 36. We dated for three years and were compatible in every way. Ten years later, we have two kids (7 and 5), own a home and are financially secure. When we dated, we discussed our “history,” and he told me that he’d had five prior girlfriends. I had three boyfriends in college. Well, I learned a few months ago -- at his reunion -- that he completely “forgot” the part about his competitive frat-boy past with hook-ups and one-night stands. He now estimates that he was with over 50 different girls during college, but says it “shouldn’t bother me” because it was meaningless sex and in the past. He said he told me “five” because they were the ones he counted as relationships. Now I see women on his social media who went to the same school and I obsess about how they fit into his past. It’s driving me crazy, and I feel like just a number now. I know if this situation were reversed, he’d flip out about it. I wish I had never found this out because I see him differently now, and no longer want to be close to him. He’s a good father and husband, but I’m struggling with how to accept this new information, and I need some guidance. -WISH I DIDN’T KNOW DEAR WISH: People usually lie because they aren’t proud of the truth. You say he has been a good husband and father. This is why you need to find it in your heart to forgive him. If you have caught him in lies since then, you have a reason to be reacting the way you have. However, if you haven’t, please consider talking with a licensed marriage and family therapist until you have worked it through. The resentment you feel could destroy your marriage. Please do not let that happen.
journey. He trained in radio communications in the Navy; he was on the first of its class aircraft carrier during Vietnam War in the Gulf of Tonkin. Henry was a believer in our savior Jesus, he was Cal Vet, 32nd degree Mason, a VFW member, Bethel Guardian for Jobs Daughters while his girls were growing up, coach & umpire for girls softball, wrestling coach at Santa Clara University, stock car driver, an avid outdoorsman, deputy sheriff, business owner, executive director of the Builders Exchange in Redding, Santa Cruz and Santa Clara, California; as well as the director of the SRCA water district in Coquille. In every job or situation Henry was in, he applied his all. He was kind, supportive, listened and encouraged everyone he encountered to never give up, work hard, smile and celebrate along the way. He will be missed by so many but most of all by his wife, daughters, and grandchildren who love and
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I recently moved in with my grandmother, partly to help out and partly because I lost my job due to underlying health conditions that made dealing with COVID incredibly difficult. Now that we’re close to family again, some of them think they need to dictate what we do. The biggest topic is whether I should try going back to work now. My husband is adamant that he wants me home until it’s safer for me to go out again, but my father thinks it’s not a good idea, and insists that my husband doesn’t understand “everything.” I don’t want to make either of them angry, but I feel like I need to stick with my husband, and I don’t know how to get my father to understand because he’s stubborn. Any advice? -TORN, AND TIRED OF IT DEAR TORN: Your husband is protective, and for that I applaud him. If you can’t work because an underlying health condition makes you more vulnerable to COVID, then as much as your father would like you out of the house and working during the day, you cannot do it. Your life could be at risk. What does your doctor have to say about this? You are no longer a little girl. It’s time for a family discussion to iron this out, including what your father meant when he said your husband doesn’t “understand.” If it can’t be resolved in a mature and respectful manner, you and your husband may need to make other living arrangements. ------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

cherish him. Henry was proceeded in death by his father, James Harold Rogers; mother Marion Yoey; and brother, Ronald Rogers. He is survived by the love of his life, Karen Jane (Cole) Rogers, with whom he recently celebrated 60 years of marriage; daughter, Melinda Ziemann and her husband Scott, daughter, Mandy Torvick, daughter, Marion Bauer and her husband Sean; sister, MaryBeth Voelkel and her husband Mark; 10 grandchildren, 3 great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other family members who loved and laughed with him through life.

Rogue Valley artist and poet join forces at Coos Art Museum In August 2019, Ashland artist Claire Duncan was invited to exhibit a solo art show at Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay. She immediately thought viewer reaction to her work could be enhanced by accompanying poetry. Naturalist and poet Pepper Trail was an obvious choice — and he agreed. Almost two years of intense work on a body of paintings and poetry ensued. In Reflections on the Human Epoch, Duncan continues her series of paintings last exhibited at Ashland’s Hanson Howard Gallery. The work responds to questions of what it means to be human at a time when our own actions threaten the very nature that inspires us. The creatures that inhabit Duncan’s paintings appear to bear witness to the after-effects of human impact and give silent judgment. Viewers are left to choose between the
comforting, even sublime, experience of immersive nature and the anxiety we face when confronted with the consequences of human activity. Pepper Trail’s poetry extends and amplifies the themes posed by the paintings. Rather than “captions,” they present ideas on their own, which work in tandem with the visual art. Pepper Trail’s writing has appeared in Rattle, Atlanta Review, Spillway, Kyoto Journal, Cascadia Review and other publications, and has been nominated for The Pushcart Prize and Best of the Net awards. Claire Duncan’s work has appeared in exhibitions nationwide, including Leigh Yawkey Woodson Museum’s Birds in Art, and has won numerous awards, including first place in The Artist’s Magazine’s All Media Competition (Wildlife).

Hunting groups call for more 541.266.6047 accuracy in IP 13 ballot title Several pro-hunting conservation organizations have challenged the draft language of the ballot title and summary for Initiative Petition 13, which they contend do not adequately convey the initiative’s devastating impact to legal hunting, fishing and trapping. The groups have submitted comments to the Oregon Attorney General’s office requesting clarification to the initiative’s draft ballot language. The organizations, which include the Oregon Hunters Association, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Wild Sheep Foundation, Oregon Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, Oregon Trappers Association, Sportsmen’s Alliance and the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, also assert that the draft ballot title inappropriately uses the term Contributed photo ThecityofReedsport,alongwiththeTravelSouthernOregonCoastandtheOregonCoastVisitorsAssociation,recentlyopenedakayaklaunchatBumblebee “prohibits” rather than “criminalizes,” which they believe Dock on Riverfront Way. is more accurate.

style, according to Oregon Hunters Association outreach coordinator Amy Patrick. “Under this initiative, it would be illegal to put a deer in the freezer, catch fish or raise animals to offset a family’s grocery bill,” Patrick said. “While it prevents Oregonians from securing their own naturally raised or harvested food, it does not prohibit grocery stores from carrying animal proteins, meaning those items would be imported from states that do not have such outrageous regulations, effectively creating even more distance between Oregon families and their food.” Patrick said IP 13 would impact Oregonians who want to ensure natural, local food sources for their families through hunting, fishing, trapping or raising their own livestock. “I have cattle in my pasture, chickens in my coop, my husband hunts, and I like to fly fish,” she said. “IP 13 would make us criminals for our attempts to control our food sources and be less reliant on the mainstream food network.” If the initiative language is certified by the AG’s office, the proponents will have until June 2022 to collect the more than 112,000 signatures required to place it on the November 2022 general election ballot. The groups challenging the draft ballot language have stated that they will not rule out legal action if the current language is upheld.
Preppers to meet June 19 Southwestern Oregon Preppers will be holding a meeting at noon Saturday, June 19, at Bullards Beach State Park, 52470 Highway 101 North, Bandon. Look for them at the big gazebo in the day use area. The main topic is “show and tell.” SWOP members who have been through disasters will share their stories. Also, members will be sharing various skills, tips and techniques. SWOP meetings always start with a question and an-
swer period before the main topic so all in attendance get a chance to participate. This is a free public meeting to get to know fellow local preppers in southwestern Oregon counties and to exchange information and ideas. It is important for individuals to understand that they will be “on their own” in the event of a disaster and not depend on receiving outside help.

Pirates pick up four wins in week The World
Marshfield’s boys basketball team completed a big week that included four wins in five days by beating visiting Tillamook 45-38 on Friday. Marshfield had earlier in the week topped North Bend, Siuslaw and Marist Catholic. In the win over Tillamook, Mason Ainsworth had 19 points, Pierce Davidson 10 and Dom Montiel seven, with all of Montiel’s points coming on free throws. The Pirates led by three at halftime and then held the Cheesemakers to just three points in the third quarter, to build a margin they held through the final eight minutes. That victory came one day after a huge win in Eugene over the Spartans that positioned the Pirates to possibly tie for the league title. If Marshfield can beat Elmira on the road Tuesday, the Pirates would have a chance to tie Junction City for the crown when the Tigers visit Coos Bay for the Sky-Em League finale on Thursday. Junction City handed the Pirates one of their two league losses, the other coming to Siuslaw. Junction City’s lone league loss came to Marist Catholic. Marshfield held off a fourth-quarter surge by the Spartans on Thursday to win 55-51 and complete a season sweep over Marist Catholic. Ainsworth had 23 points and Noah Niblett 12 in the win. Marshfield led 38-27 entering the final quarter and held on. “It was a great game and great crowd,” Marshfield coach Casey McCord said. “Marist made it interesting at the end, but credit to the kids for going to a tough place and getting a great win.” MYRTLE POINT 63, COQUILLE 49: The Bobcats got their first win over the Red Devils in several seasons by winning at Coquille on Friday night. Luke Nicholson had 21 points for the Bobcats, while Carson Bradford added 14 points and Gabe Swan 10. Andreas Villanueva added nine points. Myrtle Point broke through for its first win against one of the top teams in the Sunset Conference after twice playing with second-place Bandon and nearly topping defending state champion Toledo earlier in the week. The Bobcats’ last win over the Red Devils came in the 2013-14 season. Jace Haagen led Coquille in the loss with 10 points. The Red Devils trailed 28-10 at halftime and 44-21 entering the final quarter.
GIRLS MYRTLE POINT 37, COQUILLE 15: The Bobcats beat the Red Devils for the second time this season. Maddi Reynolds had 12 points and Sarah Nicholson nine for Myrtle Point, which held Coquille to five or fewer points in every quarter. Jaylyn Rayevich had eight points, including a pair of 3-pointers, for Coquille. MARIST CATHOLIC 41, MARSHFIELD 38: The Pirates suffered another tough loss to the Spartans, this one coming in Eugene on Thursday. The game was close all the way, but the Pirates weren’t able to get over the top against the Spartans. Charlie Dea had 15 points for the Pirates, but none of her teammates had more than five. The loss snapped a four-game win streak for Marshfield, with one of the victories coming by forfeit over Cottage Grove. Marshfield finishes the regular season with games at Elmira on Tuesday and home against Junction City on Thursday.

Sailor Hutton was joined by three of her Boise State teammates who all did well in the shorter races. Yuki Parle of Edmonds, Wash., was the overall winner of the 10-kilometer race, finishing in 39:50. The top male finisher was Christopher Maienza of Massachusetts, who finished in 40:40. Second and third among men were Bandon High School senior Josh Minkler (41:18) and Tyler Martin of Coquille (52:07). Mark Godbey of North Bend was the masters champion (53:13). Bandon graduate Shannon Smith was second among women (5034), with Emma Sylves-Bery third (52:57). The top masters female was Rachel Stappler of North Bend (1:15:17). In the 5-kilometer race, Jeremy Potter of North Bend was the top overall finisher in 16:58, followed by a pair of Sailor Hutton’s Boise State teammates — Olivia Johnson of Gresham (17:31) and Grace Brock of Cornwall, United Kingdom (17:43). Celeste Sinko, this year’s scholarship recipient and one of North Bend’s valedictorians who graduated Friday night, was third overall among women in 21:09, with Bandon youth Marley Petrey not far back (21:22). Rushel Reed of Bandon was the female masters champion (29:35). Second among male finishers was Anthony Saccente of Coos Bay (20:28), followed by Grayson Goodale of North Bend (20:30).

masters champion (25:52). The half marathon also included a walk, with the top finisher Richard Bemrose of Gresham, who comes down every year for the event and finished in 3:16:14. The walk also featured mother and daughter Christine Bolf and Sara Bolf of Albany. The event is named for Jennifer Turman, who was a standout runner for Marshfield in the 1990s who was killed in a traffic accident. Her family started the scholarship fund which is now Celeste Sinko competes in the 5-kilometer race during Jennifer’s Catching Slough Classic on Saturday.

North Bend’s Young plays in Class 5A all-star contest
Bandon has best-ever softball finish Bandon’s softball team finished the recent season with the highest placing in school history, taking fifth place in the Class 2A-1A postseason tournament. “It was a very exciting weekend,” Bandon coach Brandon Gallagher said. “I couldn’t be more proud of how the ladies battled all day and played so hard. “I can’t wait for next year. We return almost the whole team and we have a big group moving up from the youth (team) so it should be an exciting season to come.” Bandon finished second to Toledo in the Sunset Conference, but was given an at-large berth into the Class 2A tournament. The Tigers lost to Colton in the first round, but
bounced back on a long Saturday at Junction City. First, the Tigers faced Santiam in a rematch from a playoff game two years ago won by the Wolverines 15-5. This time, Bandon won 8-2. Lizzy Gallagher went 3-for-5 with two runs and an RBI, Harley Frye went 2-for-3 with two RBIs, Alyssa Regor went 2-for-5 with three RBIs and Avery Pounder pitched a complete game, allowing four hits while striking out eight. In the fifth-place game, the Tigers faced Gaston, and won 7-6 in eight innings. “The girls were tired from the heat, but they hung in and kept pushing, especially when we went down 6-5 going into the bottom of the
seventh,” Brandon Gallagher said. “My seniors stepped up with all three of them getting hits with Sterling Williams driving in the tying run.” Aside from Williams, the two seniors were Lizzy Gallagher and Bella Erenfeld. The teams used international rules starting in extra innings, with a runner starting on second base, and Pounder got out of the top half of the eighth inning with a fly out and a pair of strikeouts. Carlee Freitag started on second for Bandon and scored on a two-strike single to left by Trinitie Long-Hindman. Williams finished 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI and Frye went 1-for-3 with two RBIs. Pounder allowed eight hits and had 16 strikeouts.

Linnehan, Dion were NB cheer co-captains Co-captains Chloe Linnehan and Kayla Dion led North Bend’s cheer team to a successful competition season. The Bulldogs earned a rating of outstanding during the state cheerleading competition sponsored by the Oregon School Activities Association and had a number of other high finishes during the year. The OSAA competition this year was virtual, with schools sending in videos of their performances. Only seven schools earned
superior rankings — Aloha, David Douglas, Lake Oswego, Westview, Crater, Gladstone and Ridgeview. North Bend also was named champions in the Class 5A All-Girl stunt division at the OCCA championships. The OCCA event was one of three events the Bulldogs competed in, in addition to sending in their video to OSAA. The cheer team did all of the traditional elements — stunting, tumbling,
crowd-leading and dancing. North Bend’s 14-member team finished third at West Linn, second at Lakeridge and fourth at the OCCA championships. In addition to Linnehan and Dion, members of the squad included Kennedy Woodworth, Sidney Wilson, Camila Torres, Amyaika Funk, Alyssa Bernhardt, Kiyannah Reed, Sydney Howard, Taylor Bough, Addisyn Carlstrom, Emily Walters, Chelsea Patton and Lupita Trujillo.

Deer slayer goes to jail
Boy Kieling must serve out $50 fine in jail Wants to fight the case and taken before justice of peace in Curry County COQUILLE — Deputy Game Warden McDaniel arrived in Coquille from a trip through Curry county and appeared before the grand jury to give some evidence regarding game law violations. Mr. McDaniel says that Roy Kieling, who was arrested at Powers with F. Hyde for killing dear out of season, did not gain much by fighting the case. Hyde pleaded guilty before Justice Zimmerman at Powers and was fined $50 and costs but Kieling insisted on fighting the case and was taken before Justice A. Adolpsen of Denmark. He was found guilty and fined $50. Kieling refused to pay the fine so was taken by Deputy Warden John Adams to Gold Beach where he must stay for 25 days in jail to serve out the fine.
Cooston school has good year
Entertainments marked the close of the term Miss Annie Young, the teacher, was hostess to the pupils — parents attend The Cooston school has just closed a most successful year with an unusual amount of jollification. On Saturday evening, May 21, the eighth grade held a class banquet at the home of the teacher. The table was decorated with pin, the class flower being the rhododendron. Just before the feast began the returns were received from the superintendent’s office announcing that the whole class has passed.

Popcorn-eating ‘AWOL’ pigeon likes CB tavern
“Weirdest patron I’ve ever served and I’ve owned a tavern in Coos Bay for 21 years,” James Brown commented. “Heck, he don’t pay attention to nobody — just comes in and sits around eating pop-
corn,” said Fred Cozad. The center of both remarks was a carrier pigeon which walked in the front door of the Zanzibar Tavern on Bayshore Drive recently and for three days was one of the bar’s most regular customers. Though ordinary in color and not displaying any of the vocal skills generally associated with animals frequenting drinking spas, the bird caused some stir because of an official looking band on its right leg. It read: U.S.A. 69 — PLC 9186. Well, that looked official enough to me, so I called the FBI,” noted Brown, owner of the Zanzibar. Local FBI field investigator Roy Elliott responded, but couldn’t supply any information about the bird. “Offhand,” Elliott commented wryly, “I’d say the bird is probably AWOL from the military.” Earlier Brown had also contacted the local office of the state liquor control commission “wondering if the bird represented some new type of undercover program.” Not so, the LCC told him. According to barmaid Betty Melendez, the bird developed a strong liking for the Zanzibar and its popcorn machine. “We sold more popcorn while that bird was hanging around than we ever had before,” she noted. “Everybody was feeding him.” The barmaid tried to discourage the bird from hanging around the Zanzibar by taking it with her and turning it loose near her home. “The pigeon was waiting for me at the back door when I came to work the next morning to open up. And I live five miles out on Coos River,” she said.
Oswald, Baumer secure cultural exchange berths MILWAUKIE — Kip Oswald of Marshfield and Ron Baumer of Gold Beach, both graduating seniors for 1971, have joined a growing list of Southwestern Oregon wrestlers who have qualified for the Oregon Cultural Exchange team. Oswald, at 160 pounds, and Baumer, at 170, won their respective weight classes to join six others for the Cultural Exchange trip to Japan this summer.
Oswald, the top seed in the 160-pound bracket after having won the state Freestyle and Greco-Roman championships, downed leading challenger Pat Rinaker of Roseburg in the first two matches of a best-of-three wrestle-off. Baumer, meanwhile, had to wrestle through the pack in the two-day qualifying tournament before claiming the berth and becoming the first matman from Gold Beach to gain the Cultural Exchange team.

What started as an idea last fall has grown into a full relay with 33 teams scheduled to participate Saturday and Sunday at Coquille High School. “For a first-time relay, it is a very, very big step,” said Michelle Parker, the American Cancer Society staff partner for the Coquille-Myrtle Point relay. The turnout for the American Cancer Society fund-raiser has far exceeded the expectations of organizers, who were hoping to have about 10 teams when they started planning the event. “All of the goals we’ve set, we’ve exceeded,” said Carrie Cook, who is in charge of recruiting teams for the relay. “I am overwhelmed by the support from the community,” said Donna Johnson, the relay’s chairwoman. “It is just so much more than I expected from the first year.” The relay, the first of four on the South Coast in the coming weeks, will kick off at 1 p.m. Saturday and continue through 9 a.m. Sunday, with members of the 33 teams walking around the track as they show their support for the battle against cancer.
Shooting stars Coos Bay students claim a national NBA 2ball Championship It started out as an innocent trip to the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon for a basketball competition. It turned out to be the
beginning of an adventure that would land 9-year-old Brittney Young and Brianna George in Orlando, Fla., and on national television. The two Eastside Elementary School fourth-graders won their age group competition in the national NBA 2ball Championships, a collaboration between the National Basketball Association and Nickelodeon Games and Sports, on June 5 at the Nickelodeon Network studios in Orlando. They were two of 16 finalists in three age groups (girls and boys) from a pool of 229,000 2ball entrants from around the country. The Young and George families returned to Coos Bay on Sunday and the two youngsters were welcomed home by a large banner that hung near where Boyd’s Market used to be in Eastside. They made room on their trophy shelves for one more — a mounted wooden basketball, signaling the end of the 2ball escapade. It was months ago that Brittney and Brianna won the local 2ball competition at the Boys & Girls Club, almost by accident. “We didn’t know what it was,” said Tina Young, Brittney’s mom. “We just kind of showed up … it just escalated from there.” Did it ever. After winning the Local Level competition, Brittney and Brianna went to Grants Pass and won the Area Level competition. That win sent them to Portland for the Team Championship Level competition, which was held before a Portland Blazers game at the Rose Garden. Again, the two youngsters had the highest total and were presented with plaques, met Blazer guard Steve Smith and had courtside seats. The families though that was the end of the 2ball madness. “We weren’t expecting (anything more) because they had a lower score than normal,” said Brittney’s father, Rex. Since Brittney’s and Brianna’s score was higher than all the other 2ball competitions in Western Conference cities, they were selected for the 2ball Championships in Orlando and ultimately beat a duo from Chicago.
