Fourth victim linked to Nicholson dies By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
A wave of violence that left three people dead in North Bend last month has now claimed a fourth victim. District Attorney R. Paul Frasier announced Friday that 73-year-old Linda Oyster had died from injuries she sustained when she and her husband were run over at the RV park at The Mill Casino. Oen Evan Nicholson, who is already facing six first-degree murder charges related to three other deaths June 18, will now face additional charges after Oyster died July 9. Nicholson remains in custody in Wisconsin while Frasier asks for him to be axtradited back to Coos County to face prosecution for the charges. Linda Oyster was staying at the RV park at The Mill Casino on July 9, when she and her husband were walking across the street. As Nicholson fled the scene after allegedly killing his father, he hit the Oysters with a 2019 Dodge 3500 pickup
truck. The hit-and-run incident left Anthony Oyster dead at the scene while Linda Oyster was rushed to Bay Area Hospital and River Bend Hospital in Springfield with critical injuries. Linda Oyster clung to life for three weeks before succumbing to her injuries. After leaving the RV park, police say Nicholson drove to the Herbal Choices marijuana dispensary in North Bend, where he shot and killed Jennifer Davidson. Nicholson then fled the area. He wrecked and caught the pickup on fire in Lane County and later kidnapped Laura Johnson from the Springfield area. Nicholson forced Johnson to drive more than 2,000 miles to Milwaukee, Wisconsin where he turned himself in to police. Nicholson faces 10 felony charges in Coos County, but Frasier said he intends to file additional charges now that Linda Oyster has died from her injuries.

The Smiling Frog opens in North Bend By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
Erik White has been an artist for as long as he can remember, and for many years he and his wife have dreamed of opening their own gallery. That dream came true last week when Erik and Christi White opened The Smiling Frog Gallery & Boutique in North Bend. The gallery showcases the Whites art as well as that of several other local artists. The boutique side is highlighted by homemade lotions, soaps, bath salts, scrubs, optimiz-
ing sprays and even dog treats Christi makes. And while The Smiling Frog is an art gallery, it bends the rules a little, opting for colors, lights, music and an atmosphere more in line with a party rather than a museum. That’s perfect for the Whites, who are finally able to embrace the home they moved to right before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. “I used to show in San Francisco, and then we had a kid,” Erik said. “So, we moved up here. We moved here right before the pandemic, so we were basically inside for a year.”
Erik has been a professional artist for many years, but he has long dreamed of having his own gallery. Shortly after his 5-year-old daughter, Sally Joe, was born, the Whites were on a trip through Oregon when they decided to open a gallery named The Smiling Frog. The name comes from six tree frogs the family owns. “I used to show with lots of other people, but it’s always at the behest of others and what they like,” Erik said. “We set it up with all the cool lights. It’s like it’s always a party in here.”
That fits Erik perfectly. Even as an artist, he stands out by being different. At The Smiling Frog right now, he has many pieces of what he calls gravitational art on sale. By mixing different colors of paints, White comes up with oneof-a-kind creations. He admits he doesn’t even know what the final product will be when he starts working on it. “It creates a unique pattern I could not even paint by hand,” he said. “It’s not copyable.” Erik has tried other kinds of Please see FROG, Page A2
Roadwork to impact traffic in Coos Bay By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
Road construction on 4th Street in downtown Coos Bay will move ahead this week. After months of construction that impacted traffic between Commercial Avenue and Anderson Avenue, that portion of the work was scheduled to be completed over the weekend. Now, Knife River Materials is scheduled to move work down a block, shutting down traffic between Anderson and Donnelly avenues for the next two weeks. The city of Coos Bay said detour routes will be posted as the 4th Street will be completely closed. There will be limited business access for people working at businesses that are impacted. The work will include the demolition of the existing roadway, which
will be replaced. The work between Anderson and Donnelly is scheduled to be completed by July 25. Drivers in Coos Bay may also see some issues on Highway 101 the next two weeks between Johnson Avenue and Market Street. During that time, crews with ODOT will be replacing electrical cabinets for each traffic signal in the area. While the traffic signals normally run on timed schedules which keep traffic flowing along Highway 101 longer, when the work is ongoing, the signals will be temporarily out of sync. That could mean motorists will see more red lights than normal, which could back up traffic. In addition, the work may require some signals to be turned off between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. If that occurs, flaggers will be in place to control traffic. The work is scheduled to be completed by July 23.

COOS BAY ─ Homeless advocate Tara Johnson has a plan to protect people stuck outside in the heat. Johnson is the executive director for the Nancy Devereux Center, a place where homeless individuals can find food and resources. As director, she has had to face extreme weather before, though it has always been freezing temperatures in the winter. For the first time on the Oregon coast, Johnson has had to plan for hot weather. “…Coos County, and most of coastal Curry County, weren’t really hit by the (recent) heatwave,” she said, but pointed to where she lives, which on the eastern half of the county, that saw temperatures rise to 108 two weeks ago. “That’s hot. It was 89 degrees in our house because we don’t have air conditioning. If it was going to be that hot here, or even in the 90s here, I’d petition the city to open the warming center (as) a cooling center.” And though the plan to open the Devereux Center’s first cooling center was not needed during the last heatwave, Johnson said she is ready to move forward at any point this summer. During the winter, Johnson gets into the habit of checking the weather every day to see if the warming center is needed. “I have not gotten out of the habit this year,” she said. “I look at the weather every day.” Her mornings start off with her pulling up the county’s jail roster, checking her emails and looking at the weather forecast. “I’m still looking to see if we’re even in the heat advisory category and through all of this we’ve stayed in the white and not had a heat advisory,” Johnson said. “If there was a heat advisory, I’d be on the phone asking (Coos Bay City Manager) Rodger Craddock and (Coos Bay Fire Chief) Mark Anderson if we could be open as a cooling center.” The bottom level of the Devereux Center serves as the warming/cooling center space. Johnson explained that if needed to be used as a cooling center, it is well-suited for the job. “Our lower level is built into the hillside so it’s already many degrees cooler, but we’d (also)

Federal government agrees to pay wildfire costs Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, alongside Representatives Peter DeFazio, Earl Blumenauer, Kurt Schrader and Suzanne Bonamici, recently announced the federal government has agreed to pay 100 percent of the costs
associated with debris removal and emergency measures following last year’s Labor Day fires. The Oregon delegation pushed the White House four times to make this determination, citing estimates that the cost of debris removal alone
would top $622 million. “When last year’s Labor Day fires broke out, I drove over 600 miles across our state to meet affected families and to assess the damage. The destruction I saw was gut-wrenching. Oregonian lives were lost, homes and
businesses were leveled and entire communities were destroyed,” Merkley said. “We’ve made a lot of progress since these fires were put out — but those efforts were expensive and challenging. That’s why I’m glad the federal government has agreed to reimburse our state and local governments for the emergency costs they faced in the wake of the blazes.” “Oregon has made in-

Oregon Shores invites public to 50th anniversary celebration The Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition was founded July 29, 1971. On July 29, the group will celebrate five decades of protecting the coastal environment with a special slate of activities on its 50th anniversary day. The events, both on the shore and online, are free and open to all. The day features two nationally renowned speakers whose work has a special bearing on Oregon Shores’ conservation concerns: Geologist Orrin Pilkey, one of the world’s leading experts on the conservation of beaches and management of shorelines; and Mary Ellen Hannibal, author of Citizen Scientist: Searching for Heroes and Hope in an Age of Extinction. The anniversary day begins with two guided beachwalks, south and north. On the south coast, Fawn Custer, the citizen science trainer for Oregon Shores’ CoastWatch volunteer program, will lead a tidepool-oriented walk at Sunset Bay State Park in Coos County. Meet at the north end of the Sunset Bay parking lot (on the Cape Arago Highway, south from Charleston) at 10:30 a.m. And on the north, marine ecologist Stewart Schultz, author of The Northwest Coast: A Natural History, will conduct a more sandy-shore-focused tour at Manhattan Beach, just north of Rockaway Beach on Hwy 101. For details on both events, see the CoastWatch page on
Oregon Shores’ website, https:// oregonshores.org/coastwatch. The remainder of the day’s activities take place online, and are thus accessible to everyone, wherever they may be. The first online hour, beginning at 3 p.m., will include a brief talk by Executive Director Phillip Johnson on Oregon Shores’ history, together with an overview of the organization’s current programs and plans for the next 50 years. Throughout the day and during intermissions, early leaders of Oregon Shores or their descendants will share their memories in short video interviews. Also featured will be a visit to Oregon Shores’ live auction site, and the CoastWatch Mile-byMile fund-raising competition. At 4 p.m., Orrin Pilkey will speak on “The Future of Our Beaches.” Dr. Pilkey is a professor emeritus of Earth and Ocean Sciences at Duke University, and founder and director emeritus of the Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines, currently based at Western Carolina University. His 2009 book The Rising Sea (written with Rob Young, his successor as PSDS director) sounded the alarm about the global loss of beaches. His most recent books are Retreat from a Rising Sea (co-authored with daughter, Linda, and son, Keith), which discusses the need to move back from the coast as it retreats due to sea level rise; and Lessons from the Sand, which offers easy experiments for kids (and adults) to do while learning about beach

New report shows results of state, federal and local partners teaming up to restore Oregon forests and reduce fire risk According to a newly published monitoring report, the Oregon Department of Forestry’s Federal Forest Restoration Program is reducing fire risk and providing jobs in the woods for local communities. The innovative program, which uses a collaborative approach with federal and local partners, is delivering results in three important ways: 1. Supporting federal forest collaboratives. 2. Delivering current scientific finding to improve understanding of forest restoration. 3. Using the state’s workforce to reduce the risk of wildfire and restore resiliency to federal forests. Researchers from the Ecosystem Workforce
Program at the University of Oregon, Oregon State University and the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station pored over numbers in the report to determine the program’s impact. According to the monitoring report, the program invested $4.41 million of state funds and leveraged an additional $3.5 million from the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management through projects under Good Neighbor Authority, which allows ODF to sell federal timber to offset the cost of needed restoration projects. These investments resulted in: • Grants to 12 collaborative groups that helped prepare project-level restoration plans totaling 859,174 acres

Why a state program to restore federal forests? During Governor Kitzhaber’s administration, state and federal land management officials recognized that the status quo was not working. Citing increasing wildfires, stagnant rural economies and declining forest health, the Oregon Legislature created ODF’s Federal Forest Restoration program to pioneer new ways of getting things done. Rather than lawsuits and bureaucratic silos, the program employs a collaborative “all lands, all hands” approach. The program takes aim at a very large problem.

Wildfires are getting bigger and fire season is lasting longer. According to the Governor’s Council on Wildfire Response, an estimated 5.6 million acres of Oregon’s forests and rangelands need some form of active restoration, such as prescribed burning, fuels reduction and restoration thinning. These treatments can slow fire’s spread and provide important jobs for rural communities. These investments also created longer duration jobs for both ODF seasonal employees and local forest contractors. Each year, ODF hires hundreds of seasonal firefighters. The program uses ODF crews during the winter and spring months to conduct fuels reduction and restoration work thereby decreasing fire risk and lengthening employment for seasonal employees. These ODF crews accomplished an additional 3,370 acres of thinning and prescribed burning as well as 6,370 acres of commercial and non-commercial project preparation work including layout and tree marking. Lastly, the report highlights the benefits of state and federal agencies working together on forest restoration. “The Federal Forest Restoration Program is a model for inter-agency cooperation. When state and federal agencies, communities, and forest contractors work together, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”, said Kyle Sullivan, ODF acting federal forest restoration program lead.

Infinite verbs can be confusing By June Casagrande Little-known fact about me: I provide couples therapy. Very, very bad couples therapy. It works like this: People write to me about disputes with their partners and, instead of carefully weighing both sides and helping couples find their own answers, I just say, “You’re both kind of wrong, but you’re both kind of right, too.” Advice worth every penny they pay me. Here’s an example of a recent marital dispute I was asked to settle: “I have been arguing with my husband about the word ‘try’ for years and I think you might be the right person to help me figure it out,” began a reader who didn’t give a name. “I was taught that it is unacceptable to say ‘try and’ because it should be ‘try to.’ An example would be as follows: ‘I am going to try to remember to turn off the light’ instead of ‘I am going to try and remember to turn off the light.’ Can you help me? Is one actually correct or is it just one of those things where both are acceptable and it’s just one of my unfounded, not-backed-up-by-reality peeves?” Well, dear unnamed reader, “try and” is both right and wrong. You’re welcome and good luck with that whole marriage thing. Of course, like matrimony, the issue of “try and” isn’t that easy. And I’ll confess I have a strong preference here. “Try and,” though acceptable, defies my sense of logic and order. When I come across it in my editing work, I always change it to “try to.” To my mind, “try to (verb)” follows the same form as “want to (verb).” You wouldn’t say “I want and sleep.” The syntax suggests that the “to” and infinitive are the object of the transitive verb “try.” It may seem odd that a verb like “to sleep” can be an object of another verb. Usually, nouns are objects: try sushi, try a different drill bit, and so on. But infinitive verbs often work just like nouns. In “To get a job is her goal,” the infinitive “to get” is the subject of the verb “is,” meaning it’s working
as a noun. So, in “try to sleep,” “want to leave,” “learn to walk” and many other phrases, an infinitive is an object — the thing you’re trying, wanting or learning. “And,” meanwhile, is a coordinator. It joins things: peanut butter and jelly. Often, “and” suggests that the things it’s joining are equals and therefore can be put in any order without loss of meaning: jelly and peanut butter. You can’t do that with “try and” phrases. “Try and eat something” can’t be restated as “eat something and try.” Another thing about “and”: It seems to suggest both things are happening. “I’ll try and eat something” sounds like you’re doing two things: trying and eating. So if you’re eating, why are you simultaneously trying to eat? But of course, language doesn’t give a hoot about my sense of logic and order. “The use of ‘try and’ in contexts where ‘try to’ would be possible has been the subject of criticism since the 19th century,” notes Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage. “In spite of what these critics believe, however, infinitives are used in many constructions without ‘to’ and some of those constructions use ‘and.’” “He went and sat on the bench” and “You should come and see her” are examples of Merriam’s point that “and” can replace “to” between some verbs. I don’t find these examples terribly convincing. In them, the second verb isn’t really the object of the first any more than “jelly” is an object of “peanut butter.” But really, my point is moot because in language, idiom — that is, standard usage — reigns supreme. And “try and” is not only standard, it may even predate “try to” in written English, according to Merriam’s. Want my advice? Try to avoid “try and.” But if your spouse disagrees, try and let it slide. — June Casagrande is the author of “The Joy of Syntax: A Simple Guide to All the Grammar You Know You Should Know.” She can be reached at JuneTCN@aol.com.

No, the U.S. Air Force is not ‘60% responsible’ for Devin Kelley’s crimes By Thomas L. Knapp On November 5, 2017, Devin Patrick Kelley parked his SUV outside First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, got out, and opened fire. Kelley murdered 25 people outside and inside the church, wounding 20 others before he turned his gun on himself (after two good guys with guns opened fire on him) and saved Texas’s taxpayers the expenses of a trial and imprisonment or execution. On July 7, U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez ruled, in a trial seeking damages to the victims and their families, that the U.S. Air Force is “60% responsible” for Kelley’s actions. Why? Because after Kelley’s guilty plea in a 2012 court-martial, for assaulting his wife and stepson, the Air Force failed to enter his criminal history into an FBI database so that he could be legally forbidden to buy firearms in the future. Let’s get one thing straight here: Devin Kelley, and no one else, was responsible for Devin Kelley’s actions. Period. The U.S. Air Force didn’t beat Kelley’s wife or fracture Kelley’s stepson’s skull. Kelley did. The Air Force tried him for it, imprisoned and demoted him for it, and kicked him out for it. The U.S. Air Force didn’t rape Kelley’s girlfriend in 2013. If that happened (no charges were brought), Kelley did that. The U.S. Air Force didn’t beat Kelley’s malnourished husky in 2014. Kelley did (and was tried and received a deferred sentence of probation). The U.S. Air Force didn’t develop a grudge against First Baptist Church and its congregants, which Kelley attended before apparently becoming a militant atheist. Kelley did. All the U.S. Air Force did was mess up some administrative paperwork (well, computer work, I guess) which, had it been properly filed, might have conceivably made it slightly more difficult for Kelley to obtain a firearm. Probably not. But maybe, just a little. Kelley was clearly a violent and dangerous man, and a man who had no respect whatsoever for any law that forbade him to do whatever he decided he wanted to do. It’s absurd to think that a man who made the
Thomas L. Knapp decision to kill 25 people, and followed through on that decision, would have quailed from stealing the gun he did it with, or from buying that informally and without a background check (supposedly “illegally,” but the Second Amendment says otherwise). The reason Rodriguez found the Air Force “60% responsible” is that he wanted to give the victims some of your money, and, well, the Air Force has a lot of your money. But in getting where he wanted to go, Rodriguez damaged the very concept of responsibility. On the bright side, perhaps the judgment will leave the Air Force short money for another bomb to drop on a hospital, wedding, or funeral in the Middle East. Thomas L. Knapp (Twitter: @thomaslknapp) is director and senior news analyst at the William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism (thegarrisoncenter.org). He lives and works in north central Florida.

OBITUARIES Dorothy Mae Lindstrom Scavera March 9, 1921 – June 9, 2021
Roots Dorothy was born in North Bend, Oregon. She grew up at Wilanch Inlet near Cooston. She rode her father’s tug across the bay each day to attend high school as there was no McCullough Bridge yet. Dorothy’s father, Victor Lindstrom was born in 1891 in what would become North Bend (Old Town). Her mother, Mae Engblom Lindstrom was born in Empire in 1897. Dorothy’s paternal grandparents, William and Sophie Lindstrom, were Order of Runeberg type Swedes (ethnically and linguistically Swedish, but living in the country of Finland). They immigrated to America in the 1800s, homesteading on Wilanch Inlet to dairy farm. Her maternal grandfather, August Engblom, immigrated to the U.S. from Sweden. He worked at the lifesaving station on the North Spit and as Empire town Marshall. Dorothy’s maternal grandmother, Lydia Patterson Engblom, was a covered wagon pioneer coming from Illinois with her parents in 1864 over the Oregon Trail to settle in Scottsburg. In Swedish, Lindstrom means lindon or good luck tree beside the stream and Engblom means a meadow flower. Vic had a tug that ferried milk, mail and passengers from Cooston to North Bend until McCullough Bridge put him out of business. He built wooden mine sweepers in the Coos Bay shipyard during WWII. Mae was very civic minded. She taught first aid for the Red Cross and was on the election board for
50 years. During the Cold War she was the leader of the Civil Air Patrol and recruited 1,100 volunteers from the Coos Bay area to take turns scanning the sky every evening for Russian bombers. Past and Future Dorothy was predeceased by her parents; an unnamed older baby brother who died on the first day of his life; her older brother and spouse, Ken and Marie Lindstrom; younger sister and spouse, Jeanette and Ronaldo Hodge and two of their children, Ronnie Hodge and Dale Hodge Klein. Also predeceasing Dorothy was almost everyone in her generation, including Dorothy May Lindstrom, a childhood and lifelong friend who grew up just down the road in Cooston. Surviving are her children, Sam Scavera and spouse Rene, Paula Scavera and spouse Steve Haavig, Toni Scavera Howard and spouse Jim Howard, and Jim Scavera and his pet goldfish. She is survived by Sam’s kids, Kevin Scavera and Denise Fiello; by Jim’s kids, Gina Scavera, Victor Scavera, Adrienne Scavera and Rachel Scavera; and by Toni’s kids, Kenny Willsey and Jimmy Willsey. Also surviving her are her nieces, Sandra Hodge Lovie, Dr. Susan HodgeMueller, Janet Lindstrom Lovell, Betty Lindstrom Pederson and nephew Bobby “rock and roll” Lindstrom. Five greatgrandchildren survive: Brittany Vartanian, Samantha and Isabella Fiello, Zachary and Lilliana Willsey. Although separated by 3,000 miles and a divorce, Dorothy still considered her East Coast nieces and nephews
to be part of her family. Surviving her are Sam Scavera, Steve Scavera, Debbie Scavera Moore, Joanne Tribe Snyder, and Stephanie Madrid. Predeceasing were Harold Sonny Tribe and Barbara Tribe Keller. Occupations In her early years Dorothy was a crab shaker, waitress, typist, and welder. After her divorce in the 1970s, she earned an AA degree in Business at SWOCC and worked as a hospital clerk and curator at the Coos History Museum. But the dominant role for mom during her productive years was that of mother and homemaker. Before there were any pizza parlors in Coos County, our family was eating mom’s homemade pizza (Italian soul food) every Sunday evening. The mixing bowls with rising dough sitting near the heating stove on Sunday day would be the sight and aroma reminders that it was pizza night again. I’ve eaten pizza in Rome, Naples, and Sicily, New York and Chicago; none compare with mom’s homemade pizza. Maybe it was all in the wrist, but maybe it was the love. Sorry mom, but the lutfisk (Swedish soul food) served on certain holidays was not that great a hit. Go Bulldogs Dorothy graduated from North Bend High School in 1937. Her mother had attended NBHS in the early 1900s and Dorothy’s aunt, Hilda Lindstrom – a basketball star – graduated in 1911 as the 11th person to graduate from NBHS. Hilda may have been among the first students to attend NBHS when the doors opened in 1908. Dorothy’s four children are NBHS alumni, graduating in the ‘60s and ‘70s. A generation later, a good number of her grandchildren became NBHS alumni. In 2020 her great-grandson Zachary Willsey became the fifth generation of his family to graduate from NBHS, putting the cap (so far) on a legacy that
DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren FRIEND INVITED ON TRIP SEIZES CONTROL OF AGENDA
DEAR ABBY: A few years ago, I asked a friend to accompany me to a concert for which I offered her a free ticket. (I paid $150 for each one.) The original plan was to travel from New York state to Ohio, which would have been a three-day weekend. She responded with a grateful yes, then instantly changed the location to head in the opposite direction, planned out the entire trip, including the driving, and turned it into a five-day trip! Well, it happened again. She’s a great travel companion, so I asked if she’d like to go to Nashville with me for a couple of days. It instantly changed to a week, and she invited other people to join us without discussing it with me. Within 90 minutes of bringing up the trip to her, it no longer includes Nashville! It’s like she waited for me to invite her to do something just so she could change it to something she wanted to do. It really hurts that she oversteps my invitations. If I continue to plan the trip, including everything she wants to do, we will be gone for weeks. What can I say or do to make her see I really wanted to go to Nashville? -DERAILED IN NEW YORK DEAR DERAILED: Here’s what to say to this presumptuous person: “The itinerary you have planned isn’t what I had in mind at all, so carry on by yourself. I am going to Nashville.” And then follow through. Bon voyage! DEAR ABBY: I currently live in my parents’ house with my 1-year-old son and husband. We live here not because of unfortunate circumstances or events, but because we help my elderly and disabled parents with things such as
bills, rent, groceries, etc. Unfortunately, my lazy sister also lives under the same roof. She refuses to get a job or help around the house, and often creates extreme drama. Benign events seem to set her off. I have told my parents on numerous occasions that I can’t deal with the madness, and either she goes or we do. But I end up feeling such immense guilt at the thought of my parents struggling with bills and daily rituals that I end up pushing those feelings of anger and resentment aside. I don’t know what I should do. Should I free myself from my sister’s unhinged behavior and move out, or should I stick it out and suck it up in order to be a good daughter and help my parents? -- ROCK AND A HARD PLACE DEAR ROCK: The problem with issuing an ultimatum is that for it to be effective, one has to be prepared to follow through. You haven’t done that, so your protestations aren’t taken seriously. You and your husband need to have one more talk with your parents and make clear that the current living situation isn’t working for you because it is too stressful. Tell them if the situation isn’t changed -- and your sister at the very least finds a job and contributes -- you and your husband will be moving. Then follow through. ------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

spans the entire history of NBHS. Dorothy Saves the World As a charter member of the Greatest Generation, Dorothy did her part to set the world free for democracy. In the months after Pearl Harbor, she quit her job as a typist and enrolled in Marshfield Vocational School to earn her certification as a welder. Then she was off to the Kaiser Shipyards in Portland. She once earned a presidential award for being part of the team that built a Liberty ship in ten days, start to finish, stem to stern. President Roosevelt made a secret cross country train trip in Pullman 1 to tour defense plants. He arrived in Portland to watch the launching of the SS Joseph N. Teal and its christening by his daughter. A nationwide news blackout was observed until ten days after he returned to Washington, D.C.. The building of the “wonder ship” was the lead story for Life Magazine on October 12, 1942. Three months after the keel was laid, the Teal was the first cargo chip to reach Guadalcanal with supplies for U.S. marines. The enemy knew the story of the Teal and had a price on her head, but they never succeeded. Actually, the Teal survived long after WWII. But, just like the young men and women that built her, she grew old and wore out. Of the thousands of Liberty ships built, she was among the last five afloat when she was scrapped in 1963. No wonder the Fascists and Nazis didn’t stand a chance. So, Rosie the Riveter, scoot over a little bit there’s room enough on that podium for Dorothy the Arc Welder. Retirement Dorothy was known to drop a dime or two in the slot machines. She was not a person to discriminate against her Native American friends and neighbors; she frequented both the Coos and Coquille casinos. She loved to go to garage sales and collect items, most
would say to the extreme; but in the final say, it was her life to extreme. Besides the excitement of finding unique or needed items at bargain prices, there was the social side to garage saleing that she enjoyed. In her later years she enjoyed tending her flowers and sitting in the sun at the top of the driveway, ready to visit with anyone who might see her and drop by. A lifelong decline in hearing eventually required her to have a notepad and pen nearby to offer the visitor. The Queen of Everett St. That is how she was addressed by an old Everett Streeter as he congratulated her on her 100th birthday. It took 75 years to gain the title, but this is how the story unfolds. As WWII was winding down, Dorothy married a sailor from Jersey who was stationed at the North Bend Air Station. They went off to Port Hueneme in California for a while, then after his discharge from the service they decided to put down roots in North Bend. They paid $250 for an unimproved lot on Everett Street and another $500 for a house being moved from center field as the city was then developing Clyde Allen baseball field. They were now living the American Dream – a home of their own. No indoor plumbing for the first five years and eventually four children in a two bedroom house; a third bedroom was added in the late ‘50s. Some of the old families of Everett Street and a few of the noteworthy individuals are: Amos, Harder, Shanley (Dick – U of O football, scored a TD against Ohio State in Rose Bowl), Prosa, Taylor, Ramsey, Taylor again, Scavera, Hanhi, Fertig, Boch, Farrens, Payne (Mike – BYU basketball), Johnson, Milbert, Karavanich, Castle, Bailey, Swain (Bill – NFL Giants), Lovell (Stan – 9.8 100 yard dash), Anderson and King. Some of the new folks on Everett (after 1960) were Ross, Emmett, Spring, Hall, Anderson, Smith, Davidson, and Alvarez. Nearby and almost on Everett Street were
Nagle, Thrush, Carter, Engleke, Urbach, Hodge, Graham, Murto, Locken, Romani, Beauchmin, Medlock and Combs. All of the Old Guard have moved on, leaving Dorothy, if not by birth then certainly by seniority on her hundredth birthday, the Queen of Everett Street. Birthday Girl On March 9, 2021 Dorothy reached her 100th birthday. COVID-19 cut short any formal gathering but she was thankful for the cards from family and old friends. She felt like Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy” – “getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know.” She was particularly proud to get a birthday card from the 46th elected President of the United States of America, Joseph R. Biden. All Good Things Must End Dorothy’s cause of death wasn’t anything in particular, just that at 100 she was “plumb worn out.” She was never in pain and didn’t really have time to suffer the anxiety of being separated from her beloved “stuff” that surrounded her. She hadn’t taken a pill or seen a doctor in five years. In her mid-90s she could read a newspaper outside without glasses. But, gradually she lost her strength and was hospitalized. Thanks to the Meals on Wheels folks for the food deliveries and attention to her welfare. Thanks to the NBFD, EMTs, doctors, nurses, and staff at BAH for making the last 5 days of this 36,590 day (100 year) journey as comfortable and dignified as possible. Also thanks to the Quilts for Giving folks for the quilt that brought some brightness and color to her hospital stay. Also remembered are her loyal friends in her later years, neighbor Kathy and fellow antiquer, Rene Majeski. The family has decided that there will be no services. It would be enough of tribute to her if you would remember to treat some other person as kindly as Dorothy had treated you.

SWOCC’s coaching staff received the 2021 NFCA Division NWAC National Coaching Staff of the Year honors. The award was voted on by the NWAC’s member head coaches and was the second for the program, led by head coach Megan Corriea and assistant Lena Richards. Corriea and Richards guided the Lakers to a 30-4 overall record and a 21-3 mark in the South Region. The season started with a 7-3 win over NCAA Division II team Humboldt State and included win streaks of 12 and 10 games. SWOCC won 20 of its final 22 games. The Lakers led NWAC in seven offensive categories — runs (394), hits (426), doubles (90), home runs (54), RBIs (368), onbase percentage (.522) and walks (173). The Lakers ranked second in both batting average (.418) and runs per game (11.6). Meanwhile, SWOCC third baseman Brittany Bye was named the NWAC player of the year. Bye led all of NWAC with 16 home runs and 69 RBIs. She also was third in the conference with 54 hits and second with 52 runs. She batted .482 for the season. Alyssa Smokey was a double threat at the plate and in the circle. She hit 13 home runs and was fifth with 54 RBIs. She was third in NWAC with 50 runs and had 49 hits.

In the dual meet portion of the tournament, the Lakers fell to Indian Hills 35-19, getting pins by Warren, Toruno and Scott and a decision by Ritchie. Indian Hills went a perfect 4-0 in the dual meets to add that title to its win in the team competition a day earlier. The Lakers beat host Umpqua 31-23. Ritchie, Bice, Warren and Alvarez all won by pin and the Lakers won two other matches by forfeit. SWOCC edged Big Bend in a tiebreaker after both teams scored 24 points. Ritchie, Bice and Toruno all won with pins and Warren won her bout by technical fall. The Lakers fell to Grays Harbor 23-22 (Warren had a pin and the Lakers’ other wins came by forfeit), but the win over Big Bend lifted the Lakers to second place in the dual competition after both teams went 2-2 including losses to Indian Hills.

Slama, Stember win OGA titles at Bandon The World
Tennant wins fifth straight senior women’s title The World BANDON — Ellie Slama and Lara Tennant added to their collection of Oregon Amateur titles and Nate Stember won his first crown in the event, which was contested at Bandon Trails, one of the courses at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, last week. Slama, a star at Oregon State University from Salem, won her third title in four years by taking the women’s title in the 112th Oregon Amateur. She also won in 2018 and 2019 and lost in the final last year. Tennant, from Portland, won her fifth title in the 38th edition of the Oregon Senior Women’s Championship. Three players with South Coast ties participated in the Oregon Amateur, all advancing to match play and winning their first match and losing their second. Slama dominated the women’s portion of the tournament. She earned the top seed for match play by shooting rounds of 69 and 74, finishing 1-under in qualifying. When she got into the match play portion of the event, she won her first four matches without getting as far as the 15th hole, beating Audrey Dalton 6 and 4, Franca Polla 8 and 7 and Rosie Cook 9 and 8. Slama had a close call in the semifinals, when she edged Mongtomery Ferreira in a match stretched to the 19th hole. Slama won the first three holes in that match, but Ferreira caught up by the 17th hole. Ultimately Slama won on the first extra hole, but she got early momentum with an ace on the par-3 second hole. In the 36-hole final against Gonzaga student Mary Scott Wolfe from Beaverton, Slama never
trailed, again winning the first three holes and leading 4-up after the first 18 holes before eventually closing out the match 7 and 5 with a birdie on the 13th hole. Wolfe was the 2019 Oregon Junior Amateur champion. Marie Simonds, the director of the Wild Rivers Coast Alliance, tied for 29th in qualifying, bouncing back from a 91 in the first round to shoot an 82 in the second. When she got into the match play bracket, Simonds beat the No. 4 seed, Kyra Ly, 3 and 2. In the second round, she overcame a late three-hole deficit against Ferreira before Ferreira won the match with a birdie on the 21st hole. Stember was the top seed for the men’s bracket after rounds of 72 and 66. He then won six matches over four days. In the 36-hole final, Stember beat Mateo Fuenmayor of Portland 3 and 2, winning the last three holes after Fuenmayor had tied the match on the 30th hole. The final matched college rivals, with Stember and Fuenmayor sophomores to be at Oregon and Oregon State, respectively. Two men with South Coast ties were in the event. Reedsport graduate Montana Frame, a former Southwestern Oregon Community College standout, tied for seventh in qualifying with back-toback rounds of 72. Frame opened match play with a 3 and 1 win over Matt Hartley of Vancouver, Wash. But in the second round, he fell to Fuenmayor, the eventual runner-up, 4 and 2. The other player with local ties was Kevin Rei, a caddie at Bandon Dunes for a number of years, who was the No. 34 seed after qualifying and won his first match 4 and 3 over Graham Moody before losing to Taylor Klopp in a match that went 19 holes. Klopp was the No. 63 seed but

She now has the second most titles in the event behind Joan Edwards-Powell, who won six between 1997 and 2009. Tennant is the only one to win five in a row.

This week in Coos County history: July 11-13 100 YEARS — 1921 Orchard pest bad this year Tent caterpillar attacks everything green Expert of the O.A.C. gives some advice which should be heeded by growers Orchard owners in this locality have had a very serious pest to fight this year in the shape of the tent caterpillars. They attacked the orchards some years ago but have not been seen here in recent years, until this season when they came with great force. They build a little cobweb tent on the limbs and then proceed to eat up all the leaves on the trees, that is unless they are checked and destroyed. This year they have not only attacked the orchards but have also appeared even in the alder trees and in many places have made alder trees look as though they were dead. Some of the orchards which have not been looked after are entirely denuded of anything green. The caterpillars are supposed to stop their damage when warm weather comes but up to now they have done a great deal of damage. They method of fighting them in this locality had been to use a kerosene soaked torch and hold under the tent or to cut off the trig bearing the tent filled with the caterpillars and burn it.
2047 cases of cheese shipped $40,000 worth goes south on the Curacao Vessel arrives from the north last evening and leaves for San Francisco today The Oregon Dairyman’s league today shipped 2047 cases of cheese to San Francisco on the steamer Curacao. This amounts to about 78 tons and represents a value of 17 cents a pound or about $25,500, which is a nice sum of money to be distributed among the dairymen. Of the shipment 1064 cases were made in the Marshfield victory and 983 cases came from other factories of the league in this zone. All was first grade cheese excepting
30 cases which are not quite as high a standard. There were two brands, the Coos and Curry, and the Mellowest, the latter being one of the new brands the league is putting out. This was one of the largest shipments of cheese that has come from this locality for some time past. IT is finding a ready market in San Francisco and the league expects to put out other large shipments this year. The Curacao sailed this afternoon at 3 o’clock for the south, having arrived from Portland yesterday evening. She crossed the bar at 7 p.m. and docked later at Marshfield. The longshoremen were busy part of the night working on the vessel. In addition to the cheese taken out today there was a quantity of cedar logs shipped by local firms.
50 YEARS — 1971 Keizer addition opposed Bid opening due tonight Opposition was expressed today against the proposed Keizer Memorial Hospital 30-ed addition which will be a topic at a meeting tonight in North Bend. Bids for the new addition are expected to be opened at a hospital board meeting beginning at 7:30 p.m. The Southwestern Oregon Health Planning Council said it does not believe it is in the public’s best interest for “decision makers of the Keizer board to commit the board to building a 30-ed addition at this time.” Dr. James Layport, council chairman, said the need for additional beds has never bene reliably determined and that the funds required to build the addition might better be used to reduce the amount of tax money needed to build up and equip the new Bay Area District Hospital. “The Health Planning Council considers the Keizer board obligated to the public it serves to adequately justify their asserted need for 30 additional beds at this

time,” the council chairman added. He said the public has no “clear agreement” that the expenditure would be a wise investment.
Fishermen will meet tonight, air prices CHARLESTON — Commercial fishermen tied up here for the second day over salmon prices from processors. Floyd Lape, Charleston commercial fisherman and owner of the Basin Café at the Charleston Boat Basin, said fishing started June 18 with silver salmon at 36 cents a pound for fairly small fish. Since that time, the grade of fish has improved and fishermen are seeking a better price. Lape, who is port chairman for the West Coast Trollers Association, said fishermen must have a more equitable price to make fishing economically feasible. The price of fish last year was raised over a period of time similar to the time which has elapsed since season fishing started June 18, Lape pointed out. Last year, the starting price was 42 cents for silvers and the price went up in three weeks to 47 cents. At the end of the season last year, fishermen were getting 62 cents a pound for silvers and 73 cents a pound for silver salmon 10 pounds and over.
20 YEARS — 2001 Fish processors cut operations Charleston: Market problem, low prices and high energy costs prompt the decision The fishing industry took a turn for the worse this month when two major processing plants in Charleston curbed all their operations. Eureka Fisheries, with more than seven processing plants on the West Coast, will not buy anything — fish, shrimp, crab salmon or any other seafood — for the month of July. Bandon Pacific, one of the companies in the Pacific Seafood Group, is closing down its fillet line and either relocating
its filleters to other plants in Oregon and California or moving those employees into other plant operations locally. Groundfish delivered to the Charleston plant will be trucked to Warrenton or Eureka for processing. “We have ceased buying due to market conditions for the month of July,” said John Kosack, manager of administration at Eureka Fisheries’ headquarters in Fields Landing, Calif.
Coquille G-P access high on state’s priority list When the Oregon Transportation Commission met last month in Salem to discuss and revamp a wish-list of improvement projects for the South Coast’s two lifelines to Interstate-5, Coquille’s decade-long quest to facilitate development at the abandoned Georgia-Pacific Mill site was one of the few projects to receive support in writing and in funding. A list of dozens of highway projects large and small, of vital importance and fanciful thinking comprise the corridor plans for state highways 38 and 42 adopted on June 13. Revisited every two years by the Oregon Department of Transportation, local governments, interest groups and the public, the plans are aimed at identifying long-term goals and specific maintenance and improvement projects for each highway. Because transportation funding his hard to come by, especially in rural communities, only a few of the projects listed in the 20-year, plans will be completed in the near future. As long as funds are tight — and that’s the rule, not the exception — new construction projects will have to compete with ongoing and much-needed maintenance work, said Mark Usselman, ODOT’s regional manager for Coos, Curry and Douglas counties. “You have to maintain what you have before you start adding things,” he said.
