North Bend school board goes virtual after FBI warning By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The North Bend School District board returned to online meetings earlier this month, but it wasn't the COVID outbreak that forced the change. Just days before its scheduled meeting October 7, the district sent out an announcement notifying the public of the change. At the meeting, board Chairman Jim

Jordan explained the change. "Late Tuesday, I was notified by the North Bend Police Department that the Eugene FBI office had contacted them regarding the potential for a large number of protesters to attend the 7 October school board meeting," Jordan said. "North Bend police stated they are currently shorthanded if they were requested to respond." Jordan said in addition, OSHA had received complaints about

people not wearing masks from the previous board meeting. The announcement came weeks after Bandon radio personality Rob Taylor spoke to a crowd at a meeting for Citizens Restoring Liberty in Bandon, saying he wanted 200 to 300 people to attend a North Bend School Board meeting after the board discussed, but took no action on, resolutions regarding Critical Race Theory and mask

mandates at schools. In the video, Taylor called North Bend board member, Dr. Eric Gleason, Dr. Death and said Gleason, deserved a "kick in the ass." Taylor asked the crowd to attend a work session the board held, but that meeting did not allow the public to attend. Public comment was allowed virtually, but no one was allowed in person.

Last month, the same group went to a Coos County commissioners meeting to protest the county's decision to require employees to wear masks. At that meeting, two commissioners walked out and adjourned the meeting, saying they felt threatened by the large crowd. North Bend School District has not announced whether future meetings will be virtual or in person.

As the ocean rises, waves are expected to increase along the coast, which could quickly change the coast we all enjoy. Each wave moves sediment and changes the coastal community.

Rising seas could change coastal regions By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

With climate change impacting the Earth, sea levels are beginning to rise again, and as they rise it will impact the shorelines many in Oregon and California call home.

That's the message Kim McCoy shared during a virtual meeting celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition. McCoy recently updated the book, Waves and Beaches, which was originally written by Willard Bascom. The book is considered

the leading authority on beaches, shorelines and the impact waves and weather have on them. McCoy, a physical oceanographer, adventurer and expert on coastal wave dynamics, said the impact on the coast is directly linked to weather events far away. "Everything that happens

upstream impacts what happens on the coast," McCoy said. "What happens upstream could very easily push out millions of pounds of sediment." For decades, Bascom was the expert when it came to coastal

Coos Bay looking to amend marijuana rules By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

The Coos Bay City Council took a step toward making it easier to open more marijuana dispensaries inside the city. The council established a moratorium on new business licenses for dispensaries in November 2020 to give time for the city to review and adjust its ordinance related to marijuana businesses in the city. The city's Planning Commission discussed the issue twice and sent two ordinances to city council for consideration. Both were approved unaniPlease see Rules, Page A3

After decades at its current location on Commercial Avenue, The World is moving this month to a new location on Anderson Avenue The move was announced by Country Media, Inc., the parent company of The World, after Country Media entered into an agreement to sell the building at 350 Commercial Avenue. Country Media announced a few months ago that the Commercial Avenue building was being put up for sale after years of changes at The World made it no longer necessary to have such a large building. The World Publisher David Thornberry said finding a new location in downtown Coos Bay was important to the newspaper. "We have always had our building in downtown Coos Bay, so finding a new home that kept the newspaper downtown was important for us," Thornberry said. "Even in our new location, we will strive to be the primary source for news and advertising in Coos Bay, North Bend and the entire county." Thornberry said regardless of the location, the mission of The World will not change.

Illegal marijuana operation busted in Douglas County On Tuesday, October 5, members of the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team executed a search warrant at a large scale illicit marijuana growing operation in the 9000 block of Days Creek Cutoff Road in Canyonville. The activity was being conducted on two parcels of historical farmland along the South Umpqua River just a few miles east of Canyonville. There were two residences involved along with numerous outbuildings, RV's and barns. The operation consisted of more than 100 “hoop house” style greenhouses, most of which were full of illegal marijuana. Police officers contacted and interviewed numerous individuals at the scene, most of which were low level immigrant workers who were released. 31 year old Carlos Flores Santacruz, who lives at the site, was arrested and lodged at the Douglas County Jail on charges of unlawful possession and unlawful manufacture of marijuana. In total, DINT seized over 66,000 live marijuana plants, and over 11,000 pounds of processed marijuana. Approximately two weeks ago in a related investigation, DINT seized over 56,000 live marijuana plants at a nearby location in the 4,000 block of Tiller Trail Highway. The two locations are similar in nature and operated by the same individuals. The investigation is ongoing and further arrests are anticipated. This operation, like many others in southern Oregon, was designed to look like a legal hemp cultivation business since it is difficult to distinguish between legal hemp and illegal marijuana. Black market marijuana producers regularly hide behind

Hemp producers are required to be permitted, and are regulated by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. None of the locations had legitimate hemp permits through the ODA. Marijuana can also be legally grown in Douglas County through the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program. OMMP permit holders are allowed to grow small amounts of marijuana for personal use, based on medical need. There were no OMMP permits for these sites. Recreationally, any location in Oregon is allowed to grow four marijuana plants, also for personal use. How-

ever, locations like the ones described above are illegally growing tens of thousands of marijuana plants at a time and selling them on the black market for millions of dollars. These illicit marijuana operations have sprung up recently in southern Oregon causing numerous problems for our communities and the neighboring areas. These operations are largely operated and controlled by notorious foreign drug cartels. Additionally these operations are causing significant environmental damage due to the volume of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, the buildup of garbage and even the high volume of

human feces. These operations are often illegally overutilizing the precious water resources, which is particularly concerning during a time of drought like this year. DINT was assisted on this case by the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, Roseburg Police, Winston Police the Bureau of Land Management and the Douglas County Public Works Division. This year, DINT and the Douglas County Sheriff's Office have investigated 22 illegal marijuana growing operations, eradicated approximately 300,000 marijuana plants and seized approximately 50,000 pounds of dried, processed marijuana.

OBITUARIES Bernard John Sherwood

Julia Helen Morris Potter

August 15, 1927 – October 9, 2021

February 5, 1927 – September 17, 2021

Bernard “Benney” Sherwood, a loving husband, a caring friend, passed away on October 9, 2021 in Coos Bay at the age of 94. At his request, no services will be held. Private cremation rites were held at Ocean View Memory Gardens in Coos Bay. Benney was a lifelong artist who specialized in portraits. His happiest days were spent in his studio creating new treasures. He was born in Dickinson, North

Dakota on August 15, 1927. At an early age his family moved to the Coos Bay area. He grew up in Greenacres, moving to Coos Bay in his high school years. After graduation he enlisted in the US Air Force, and on the evening before leaving, he was in a serious car wreck. His right arm was almost completely severed, but after spending a year in McAuley Hospital his arm was saved. He decided to travel and covered the whole United States. He then attended the Chicago Art Institute and after that studied with Moya Del Pino, a noted teacher from Spain. He then went to Mexico City and studied art with Diego Rivera. Over the years he continued his artwork, finally settling in North Bend with his

wife, Darlene, and worked at McKays and Safeway, and later at the North Bend School District, where he made many friends. In his last years he loved to go to Pony Village for coffee with “the gang”…a fine group of seniors who had a long table at the Buzz Café run by Lisa and Simon, a wonderful couple. Benney is most likely up in heaven right now, at a table having coffee and making his opinion known on politics, weather and the best recipe for smoked salmon. You are so missed Benney! Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals.com and www.theworldlink. com. Arrangements are under the care of North Bend Chapel, 541-7560440.

a bank, lab technician in a doctor's office, juvenile probation officer, school and music teacher and marriage and family counselor. As a young woman, she was a talented pianist and sang with the Robert Shaw Chorale. Twice, she entered a priory to become a nun but eventually recognized that it was not her path. She was, during a lifetime, a devout Catholic, Episcopalian and Buddhist, each in their own season. Ann was a kind and dedicated counselor and therapist who maintained a private practice for a time. She helped her patients regardless of their ability to pay. During the height of the AIDS epidemic, she worked at San Francisco General Hospital. After three years of working with dying young men, she "flamed out", as she put it, and had to leave. When she was in her mid-50s, Ann had a life-changing experience backpacking the length of California. She had many stories to tell about "my walk" and

always meant to write them up. Ann loved to read, mysteries being her favorite. She was an active member of the Sisters in Crime group in San Diego. Classical music on NPR and classic country were her music choices but Gregorian chants and bluegrass worked too. Dogs were always a big part of Ann's life and like most dog lovers, she marked the stages of her life by which dogs she had, from Teakwood, her childhood pet, to Bonnie and Cassie, Rudi and Rosie, China and Gracie. They were her constant companions at home, traveling or walking in beautiful Bandon. Ann is survived by her spouse, Betty Daniels; her cousin, Marsha McNabb of California; relatives in Maryland; pups, Gracie and Sunny; and friends who will miss her.

She also loved all babies, chocolate, reading and being with friends and family. Most of all she loved Jesus Christ and wished everyone would have a relationship with Him. The last 9 ½ years of

her life were spent at Ocean Ridge Assisted Living in Coos Bay, Oregon where she was known for her friendliness and encouraging demeanor.

Rules

greenhouses or manufactured homes. The new ordinance would also eliminate the rules saying dispensaries can only be located in industrial commercial zones and also the rule related to dispensaries being 1,000 feet away from residences or any other marijuana businesses. Currently, all marijuana dispensaries in the city are within 1,000 feet of another, and there are very few locations in the city where

a new dispensary could be located that would meet the existing rules. The second ordinance provided definitions for marijuana retail, marijuana grow and marijuana processing, all that have different governing rules. Because the finished ordinance was not in front of the council in enough time before the meeting, a second reading will be required at the October 19 meeting before it can be adopted.

Guest Opinion

Vaccinating the globe, one jab at a time By Kenneth E. Thorpe The word "awesome" is overused. But few other words seem apt when describing the fact that the world has now administered more than 6 billion doses of the Covid-19 vaccines. When you consider that the World Health Organization announced the discovery of the novel coronavirus on January 9, 2020, that's less than two years in which scientists have taken us from zero to 6,000,000,000 jabs. In terms of the sequence of medical research to clinical trials, then to FDA emergency use authorization and market placement, that's a sprint worthy of Usain Bolt. What's more is the alacrity with which research companies rose to the occasion to fight Covid-19, a feat that offers the surest proof that IP protections help keep the world safe. Getting a drug successfully to market can cost billions of dollars and take several years of scientific toil. Blood, sweat, tears -- and money. Fewer than one in 10 products that enter clinical trials are ever greenlit by the FDA. If those that succeed are stripped of proprietary protection, few investors would risk their money in pharmaceutical research and development. And yet, the very safeguards that made it possible for Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson to give us life-saving vaccines are now threatened by our own, well-meaning government. In May, the Biden administration announced that it would back a proposal at the WTO to waive all IP protection on the Covid-19 vaccines. Soon, these companies could find their painstaking research in the hands of governments who would be profiting from the work of

our scientists. Among these governments is China, America's most fervent competitor, which has made no secret of its own ambitions to dominate the biotech sector. The WTO proposal was submitted in September 2020 by India and South Africa, and has garnered the support of more than 100 countries and countless NGOs. That it was made three months before vaccines were authorized suggests it was a kind of preemptive strike. After resisting pressure for many months, the U.S. succumbed and offered support to the waiver. With respect, I believe the administration made the wrong call and with no good progressive outcome or policy reason. The policy error of stripping IP protection from our biotech companies is compounded by the fact that the waiver will not increase the production of vaccines by a single dose. Every facility in the world that can safely make the vaccines is already running at full capacity. Nowhere else is there the ability to fabricate these complex vaccines. In parallel to this regrettable waiver, the Biden Administration has started to disburse America's massive stockpile of Covid-19 vaccines to nations in need. The U.S. has committed to donating more than one billion doses. That, surely, is the better way to help the world. As are the calls being made that rich countries pay for the vaccines that would go to the vaccine-deprived. Let the governments of the West and Japan perform this service to humanity. That way, we can help protect those in crying need of vaccines without beggaring our own medicine-makers. Kenneth E. Thorpe is a professor of health policy at Emory University and chairman of the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease.

Letters to the Editor More money? I do not know how most other North Bend property owners feel about our City Council supported school bond measure 6-192, but, I can tell you that after almost five years of fighting with our present, and former city council over their incessant attempt to pry more and more money out of us, I for one, have had enough. We pay enough property tax to handle what a city our size needs. We pay a fee for cleaning city street drains that haven't been cleaned in at least four years. We pay a $15 a month Public Safety Fee for what we were told would be more police officers. At that time, we had 21 officers. We now have two less than 16, thanks to our police chief and captain resigning. We are paying a $15 fee for less officers than we had before. We are also paying a levy to repair our city pool, even after the council “managed” to find over a million dollars they forgot they already had. I don’t know about you, but, I do not trust our N.B. City Council or their latest hastily picked city manager. I do not trust their decisions, and I most certainly do not trust them with a $48.3 million dollar bond. This tax increase could not have come at a worst time, both for property owners, and renters as well, who would certainly be effected as well. Vote no on Bond Measure 6-192. We have had enough of levys, fees, bonds and taxes. Just like the rest of us, it’s time our city council learns to live within their means.

Guest Opinion

If you see racism, call it out By Wayne Hare Black Americans get a lot of messages about who matters and who does not in this country, and the question is: Are the messages intentional or unintentional? I lean towards unintentional but they have become deeply ingrained. I’ve driven Interstate 15 in Utah dozens of times over the course of two decades, travelling from my home in western Colorado to one of my favorite adventure playgrounds in Zion National Park and nearby. The route takes me through Saint George, Utah, an area referred to as the state’s “Dixie.” There are a lot of Utah Dixies, though there’s movement to change some names: Dixie National Forest, Dixie State University, Dixie Hospital. Saint George is a retirement community, and Chamber of Commerce signs on the highway extoll the many virtues of retiring to the Dixie area. But here’s what I notice: Every sign, no matter how often it gets replaced, always features white couples. I used to ski patrol at one of the Aspen ski resorts. Every year the Aspen Skiing Company would unveil a new marketing campaign, and employees were required to attend a meeting to see what the company would promote that year. Ads and movies featured many hundreds of happy people — happy white people. I met with the senior executive VP of marketing and pointed out that he was sending a message to folks that Aspen was a playground for whites only. Twenty years later, the Aspen Skiing Company, a company with the best of intentions in advocating for and creating racial justice, still does not include any Black images in its advertising, so ingrained is the image of skiers being white. And full disclosure: The Aspen Skiing Company has engaged me to help them with their mission and advocacy. A few years ago I toured the national capitol in Washington, D.C.

Wayne Hare The tour ended in the rotunda where the guide proudly drew our attention to a huge ceiling painting and border sculptures that had plenty of room to capture key moments in the development of the nation: Brave-looking white guys astride ferocious looking white horses. Chinese railroad workers. Noble “savages,” aka Indigenous peoples. Men, woman and children trekking the Oregon Trail. But what wasn’t there, in a building built with Black labor, was any depiction of a Black American. When we sing the national anthem, if we get to the third verse, we pay tribute to slavery even there. The man who wrote this ode to freedom owned human beings who never experienced the freedom that Francis Scott Keys wrote about. When we were very young, all of us were taught about George Washington’s father’s cherry tree, and the “Father, I cannot tell a lie” story. But most of us learned on our own, years later, that the father of our country owned slaves. But his slave-owning isn’t the odd part. The odd part is that we perpetuate an unimportant lie and neglect an important truth about the father of our country. On our $20 bill we honor a ruthless slave-owner. In an ad headlined “Stop the runaway,” which Andrew

Jackson placed in the Tennessee Gazette in 1804, he promised to pay not just $50 for the return of his escaped slave, but also “ten dollars extra for every hundred lashes any person will give him, to the amount of 300.” I will be glad to see Harriet Tubman’s face replace Jackson’s on the bill after a long fight to get this done. And every Black person has had the experience of waiting in some check-out line, only to have a white person cut into the line right in front of them. In a sense, it’s not even rudeness. America has made us invisible. So now, here we are… a country tearing itself apart with hate, distrust and dysfunction. Over time I’ve come to realize that racism, intentional or not, is the ladle that stirs this dangerous, unpleasant brew. Do we want a better country for everyone? Recognize racism. Fight it. We’re all in this together. Wayne Hare is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West.

OBITUARIES Chuck King

Judy Webb King

October 8, 1932 – September 25, 2021

July 30, 1938 – October 1 2021

Memorial Services for Chuck King, 83, of Myrtle Point will be held at a later date. Chuck was born October 8, 1932 in Myrtle Point, Oregon to George and Mildred (Payne) King. He died September 25, 2021 at his home in Myrtle Point. Private family graveside services have been held at Catching Creek Cemetery. He went to Catching Creek School until the middle of the 8th grade when the school closed. He then continued to High School in Myrtle Point, graduating June, 1956. After graduation he went to work in the logging industry for Fred Gross and Jack Sturza for two years, then working for GP plywood mill in Coquille for 5 years. After the plywood mill he worked for 22 years as a theft investigator and brand inspector of cattle and horses for the Oregon Department of Agriculture. During that time he bought several ranches in the Catching Creek and Ward Creek area to help him keep busy. He was a conservative Republican and a member of the First Christian Church in Myrtle Point. In his life time he had been a member and past president of the Coos County Livestock Association, Western Oregon Livestock Association member, Member of the Sheep Growers Association, past member of the Oregon Farm Bureau, member of Coquille Valley Elks Lodge #1935 for over 50 years, Member of the Coos County Historical Association in Coos Bay. He was also a member and past President of the Coos County Logging Museum for many years and President of the Coquille Valley Genealogy Society for many years. He and his wife Judy were also 2016 Grand Marshalls of Coos County Fair and parade in Myrtle Point. For about the last 25 years he was involved in the Bucking Bull industry with his friend Mike Houston of Powell Butte, Oregon. He kept the cows at home. The cows all had good blood lines coming from Texas and Oklahoma. He kept the bulls at Powell Butte, Oregon. He and Judy enjoyed going to all the bull riding events

that they could go to in the county and Central and Eastern Oregon until they couldn’t go anymore. Other hobbies included going to Central and Eastern Oregon looking at and for historical sites. He also made trips to Denmark and Sweden in 2016 with his granddaughter, Shawna Allen, staying with friends, studying the past and present of the countries. Other enjoyable trips were with friends including a cruise from Florida to South America and going thru the Panama Canal. That day it rained 8 inches in 80 degree weather while going thru the canal. He married his first wife, Shirly, December 30, 1968 in Reno, Nevada. They later divorced. He married Helen “Judy” Webb in December of 1978 in Green Acres and they were married for 43 years. He spent many hours, days, and years doing research on the King and Ward families with the help of his cousin, Sharron Ward Parrish. The material and pictures were put in books for family and friends to enjoy. Chuck’s great grandparents were Doctor Henry Harrison King and wife, Maria Miller King who left Illinois and came to Jefferson County in 1853 and then to the Coos County area and homesteaded the King Creek area, near Bridge, Oregon in 1866, which was named after them. Chuck’s other great grandparents were Robert and Mary Sargent Ward, who came to Coos County in 1860 from Missouri and homesteaded on Ward Creek, off of Catching Creek, which was named after them. They had 7 children in California on the way to Ward Creek, and 8 more after they had gotten here. 15 children in all. Chuck’s grandmother, Ellen Ward King was the oldest of them all. There were 50 some grandchildren all born from the 1880’s to the 1920’s in or near Myrtle Point. Chuck was born on Ward Creek, on the same timber and cattle ranch his family homesteaded, and lived there his entire 83 years. He sold the property to his daughter, Sheryl and husband, Alan Hermann in 2017. So, it has been in

the family since 1860. Survivors are Mike and Tammy Ludwig of Coos Bay, Victor and Mickey Ludwig of Myrtle Point, Judy Pallin of Myrtle Point and Sheryl and Alan Hermann of Myrtle Point. Grandchildren, Michael and Nikki Ludwig of Coquille, Shawn Ludwig of Coos Bay, Curtis and Melissa Pallin of Coos Bay, Chris Pallin of Myrtle Point, Dustin and Melanie Phipps of Texas, Matt Ludwig of Newport, Christie Creamer of Coquille, Sarah and Todd Weekly of Myrtle Point, Kendra Ludwig and Jake Frazier of Coos Bay, McKenzie Ludwig of Myrtle Point, Shawna and Beau Allen of Myrtle Point and Cal and Kayla Hermann of Broadbent; along with great-grandchildren, Fallen, Haley, Colton, Elijah, Emmalee, Ethan, Justin, Bailey, Gage, Malo, Ashlynne, Dean, Kennedy, Bentley, Laney and Wesley.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren BRIDESMAID TAKES HEAT FOR MISSING SHOWER

DEAR ABBY: My daughter "Melanie" is very close with a cousin she grew up with. This cousin is getting married in five months, and Melanie will be a bridesmaid. The shower date was announced. Then my son-in-law's best friend from childhood announced his wedding date. The wedding is on the same date as my niece's shower. The events are about four hours apart, so it isn't possible for Melanie to go to both. She told her cousin she was sorry but she felt she needed to attend the wedding with her husband, who is in his friend's wedding party. Melanie will attend the bachelorette party in Vegas and all the other events for her cousin. The bride's sister is giving my daughter a hard time, saying she "can't believe" Melanie would miss the shower. Melanie is now afraid she's jeopardizing her relationship with her cousins, as they have told her how upset they are. I support her decision to attend the wedding and skip the shower. There are four other bridesmaids, and another one is also unable to attend. What would you do, and how can I be helpful to my daughter without causing a bigger rift in the family? -- WEDDING DRAMA, DRAMA, DRAMA DEAR W.D.D.D.: The pressure your daughter is receiving from her cousins is inappropriate. She isn't obligated to attend any event she doesn't wish to, and her reason for skipping the shower is a valid one. She should choose a gift for her cousin, have it delivered and apologize ONCE for being unable to be there in person. Continuing to provide emotional support to your daughter is the best way you can be helpful to her. DEAR ABBY: Four months ago, I noticed a lady walking down the street. She was older, and I could tell by her posture she was struggling. I offered to drive her so she didn't have to walk. It turned out she was walking from a bus

stop to a transit bus to catch it for work. She works in a different county than she lives in, so the first bus doesn't take her all the way. Long story short, I have been driving this lady to work from the bus stop every morning, picking her up from work and taking her home, picking her up on the weekend days she works, and then transporting her to and from work. (I don't work on the weekends.) She lives about 10 miles from me. She has not once offered to pay for gas, which doesn't bother me, but she has recently started asking me for money. I've purchased coffees for her on several occasions and driven her to stores only to find out I'm paying for the purchases. I have picked her up, and without any warning she says she needs to go to other places, too. She doesn't have a car, doesn't earn a lot of money, etc. I think I need to stop driving her, but I know I'll feel guilty because she has no one to help her. How do I end this one-sided relationship? -- MIFFED IN MICHIGAN DEAR MIFFED: The woman you have so generously befriended appears to be a bottomless pit. You were kind to her, and she is taking advantage of your generosity. It appears you have work to do on creating boundaries. Tell her you will no longer be driving her and be clear about the reasons. If you don't, there is no end to what she will ask you for. Trust me, once you draw the line, this woman will manage just as she managed before. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Golf for Health Classic a success, despite rain BANDON - The 13th annual Golf for Health Classic, held Saturday, Sept. 18 at Bandon Crossings Golf Course, was a great success. It drizzled, it rained, it poured and the sun even came out. But golfers are a tough bunch who don't mind a little precipitation. They just don their rain gear and are good to go. There were 16 teams representing 62 golfers. The putting contest was well attended to start off the day, with a tie for half of the kitty between Dennis Thomason of Team Bain Insurance, and Rick Snowden of Team Clifton-Larson-Allen. The scramble also ended in a tie, with Team Wild Rivers Coast Alliance/Bandon Dunes composed of Jeff, Marie, Peyton, and Jackson Simonds with a score of 61, including 10 birdies and 1 eagle; and Team Wilson's Market, represented by Sheldon Richardson, Alex Smith, Josh Perine, and James Taylor, also with a score of 61, and also including 10 birdies and 1 eagle. The WRCA/Bandon Dunes Team will be awarded the Magness Cup and four rounds of golf at Bandon Crossings, and the Wilson's Team will be awarded the Chivaroli Cup and four rounds of golf at Bandon Crossings. The cups can be displayed by the winners for the year and represent the fundraiser's largest ongoing sponsors.

Third place goes to Team Sheep Ranch at Bandon Dunes, composed of Greg Harless, Patrick McGinley, Bobby Cox, and John Miles. The team will receive Bandon Crossings Pro Shop credit.

south in the Langlois area. A camera recorded a picture of the vehicle, but I don't think the license plate was visible. Oregon State Police said the vehicle was possibly a Volkswagen, and the man and the woman were in their 20s or 30s. The male was described as tall and thin, with short dark hair and a dark complexion. The female is described as white with short hair with pink or purple highlights. Anyone with information is asked to contact the State Police at 1-800-442-2068. *** If you saw a large group of people standing on the Fillmore bridge at the mouth of Ferry Creek,

looking over the edge, you probably wondered what was going on. Coquille Indian Tribe employees and community volunteers used a wide net to corral adult Chinook salmon for delivery to the Bandon State Fish Hatchery. Helena Linnell, the tribe's biologist, explained their efforts at securing brood stock is very important to making sure that the fishery continues into the future. The volunteers included local port officials and members of the Oregon Anglers Alliance. The truck and holding tank used to transport the fish to the hatchery was provided by the Oregon Department of

Fish and Wildlife. A comprehensive article about the efforts appeared in The World on Tuesday. As part of a letter writing campaign urging the Governor to increase the efforts of ODFW in addressing the salmon fishery, I wrote a letter on behalf of the City of Bandon. On Oct. 6, the Governor announced that she was asking the federal government for direct relief for the struggling salmon industry, both commercial and recreational, pointing out the negative impact the downturn in the fishery was having on the region, particularly on small communities and local Indian Tribes.

Coquille returns to field with dominant win By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COQUILLE — When Coquille’s football team returned to practice to prepare for its first game in nearly 40 days because of COVID-19 challenges, assistant coach Jake Cochran told head coach David Thomason that he felt sorry for whoever the Red Devils played first. It turned out that foe was Reedsport, and on Monday night, the Red Devils ran over the visiting Brave 56-6. “We’ve been cooped up and we were ready to get out,” Thomason said after the win. The ongoing pandemic led to Creswell canceling a game with the Red Devils in the second week of the season and Coquille canceling three more because of issues within their own school. The lost weeks have put Coquille in a questionable spot for the postseason even though the team hasn’t lost a game on the field — canceled dates John Gunther Photo, The World

Marshfield volleyball falls short against Siuslaw By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

Marshfield’s inconsistent volleyball results took a turn for the worse Tuesday when the Pirates were beaten at home by Siuslaw in a match between teams that entered the night tied for second in the Sky-Em League. Marshfield, which won at Siuslaw early in the season, couldn’t muster enough offense against the tough defense of the Vikings in a 25-10, 25-12, 17-25, 25-17 victory for the Vikings. Siuslaw used exceptional passing to set up its offense throughout the night, as well as strong defense at the net to limit Marshfield’s attack. “When we played them up there, they struggled out of serve receive,” Marshfield coach Tammie Montiel said of the earlier fiveset win over the Vikings. “Tonight, they were just as good in serve receive as they were in defense.” Siuslaw’s setter hardly had to move most of the night as the Vikings repeatedly gave her the all in a good position to set up the offense. And that gave the Vikings lots of chances for Desiree Tupua, Hailee Outlaw and Rhianna Lane.

Luckman wins main event as speedway season closes The World More than 90 racers took part in the final night of the season for the oval dirt track at Coos Bay Speedway. The Prather Family Lucas Oil Open Show drew drivers from up and down western Oregon and into Washington. A few South Coast racers won their divisions, but most titles went to drivers from outside the area, most regulars at the speedway. Preston Luckman of Coos Bay won the 50-lap main event for the America’s Mattress Super Late Models division, beating Nathan Augustine, Jason Johnson and 11 other drivers, including heat race winners Braden Fugate and Trent Elliott. The Sportsman Late Models also had 14 drivers in the 30-lap main event, which was won by Dustin

Comer of Springfield, just ahead of Ray Comer. The two Comers also won the heat races. The Street Stocks division had 23 drivers and when the checkered flag waved for the 40-lap main event, the winner was Toby McIntyre of Coos Bay, who beat Don Briggs Jr. of Woodland, Wash. Heat winners included McIntyre, Dyllan Siewell of Bandon, Tauntain Swaim of Dexter and Kevin Roberts of Gresham. Scott Beaudoin of Portland won the 30-lap finale for the Mini Outlaws division, with Coos Bay driver Tristen Davison second. Beaudoin and Don Briggs Sr. of Aberdeen, Wash., won the heat races. Cody Scouller of Vancouver, Wash., won the 30-lap main event for the Hornets division, with Don Briggs Sr. second and Myrtle Point’s Hannah Ro-

bison third. Scouller won one of the heat races, with Richard Dickenson and Ryan Dickenson taking the other two. And in the Junior Stingers division, Madilynn Hardy-Ashley of Jasper was the winner ahead of Tallon Dubisar of Coquille in the 30-lap main event. They also won the two heat races. While the oval track season is over, the speedway still has two racing events and its annual Haunted Woods still on the schedule for 2021. NHRA drag racing will he held both Oct. 16 and 17 and one final mud drags event is scheduled for Oct. 23. The Haunted Woods will be open several nights as well.

started studying waves was in Astoria, and here it was returning a book all these years later," McCoy said. McCoy said as the Earth's temperature has slowly risen, it has caused ice, both on shore and in the sea to melt. "When things melt above sea level, they raise the sea level," McCoy said. "When it's sea ice, it doesn't, so it's important what happens inland. As the Earth warms, ice not only melts and fractures, but it also melts from

below because the water is warming." As far as climate change, the ocean is the key to changing weather, McCoy said. "The ocean is the key component to climate change," he said. "The ocean is turbulent. Turbulence is everywhere in the universe. The warming Earth is causing the rapid fluctuations in our weather patterns. You can't separate what's happening anywhere on Earth. It's all connected."

One impact on the coast is the loss of ice. McCoy explained that permafrost and ice on the coast protect the coast from waves and change. And the changes could be devastating if something doesn't change. "If there's a two-degree centigrade increase in global temperature, this is what will happen," McCoy said. "Miami will be underwater." The danger is rising waters lead to rising waves. And waves change

everything they touch. "Every time a wave come into shore, it moves some sediment," McCoy said. "Every single wave moves particles, millions of grains of sand. Every wave is unique. There's no one wave that is repeated over time. Every single wave stirs up sediment, and that sediment goes someplace." The good news is, the changes are just starting. "The sea level hasn't changed much in the last 4,000 years," McCoy said.

"It's starting to change. In the last 20,000 years, the sea level has gone up 400 feet, but not much in the last 4,000 years. But it is rising again." And if climate change continues to lead to a warming Earth, sea levels will begin to rise quickly. "We're all connected, and I can't stress enough, we need to have an understanding of what's happening," McCoy said. "We need to have average citizens have a sane approach to our coast."

McCoy said the book covers coasts worldwide, but the work began in Astoria when Bascom was hired for the Waves Project.

The cause of the accident will be investigated. The explosion was at first supposed to be either from gas or coal dust. It appears now that it was an explosion of gas. Superintendent statement Gas, which was ignited before the fuse was lighted, was the cause of the incident, according to the statement of J.J. Corey, superintendent of the mine. Mr. Corey made a complete survey of that section of the mine yesterday afternoon after all of the men had been removed and stated that the explosion was not caused by coal dust nor by the result of the shot as the fuse, which was ready to fire, was found as it had been left. Mr. Corey stated that from evidence which he had been able to gather from his inspection, it was evident that the one authorized to fire the shot or some other workman had attempted to light the shot in the presence of gas, thus igniting the gas and causing the explosion.

Would beautify Coquille highway

Ladies have a plan for preserving scenic attractions County seat representatives make an appeal to the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce The Coquille highway is to be beautified so that it may be one of the most attractive drives in the state, according to plans now under way. As a committee representing Coquille yesterday called upon officers of the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce to ask for co-operation in the work of improving the natural beauties of the highway. They were assured the Marshfield would be ready to lend all possible aid in the move. Definite plans are to be announced later. Governor’s plan Word has been received by the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce from the governor of Oregon asking for assistance in perfecting an organization to be known as the “Scenic Preservation Association of Oregon.” The letter asks that the chamber appoint a member of a committee to serve with other members of this district and from which a representative will be selected to attend the state meetings. The object of the organization, as given in the name, is to work toward protection of the natural beauties of the state which make it important as a resort country.

City Attorney Bob Thomas said the stiffer penalty was enacted by the state legislature and is in force by state law enforcement agencies. He said passing the city ordinance will bring the city’s statutes more in line with those of the state.

Nix erases North Bay CC record as Marshfield nudges North Bend Marshfield and North Bend went after each other with their usual gusto in a cross country dual meet Friday, and when it was over, the Pirates’ Tim Nix emerged the individual winner and the Purple and Gold nudged the Bulldogs, 26-29. The much-heralded battle between Nix and North Bend’s Greg Blackwell produced a record-shattering performance by the Pirate senior as he clipped 16 seconds off the North Bay Junior High course record set by Blackwell a couple of weeks ago. Nix seared the 2.3-mile tour in 10:59, while Blackwell, who lost track of Nix shortly after the first mile but closed the gap during the last half, went seven seconds under his former mark with an 11:08 effort. In short, it was a fine tuneup for both harriers in preparation for this coming Friday’s District 5AAA meet in Eugene.

Stiffer fines for drinking drivers in North Bend

North Bend city councilmen Tuesday night passed ordinances setting stiffer fines for drinking drivers and fees for jury trials. A third ordinance approved unanimously establishes a footpath and bicycle trial reserve fund for money appropriated by the last session of the Oregon Legislature. City administrator Jack Isadore said some environmental groups in the state believe the money should be used for woodland trails and horse trails, but that funds can also be used for city sidewalks, which fall under the footpath designation. The ordinance on drinking drivers sets a maximum $2,000 fine for persons found guilty of driving with .15 per cent or more blood alcohol content, determined by use of a breathalyzer. Persons convicted more than once could also be sentenced to a maximum of 120 days in jail under the ordinance.

the nation, Cooke said. Oregon’s unemployment rate has been steadily rising this year, starting at 4.4 percent in January. Last month, the rate had climbed to 6.3 percent. Manufacturing in Oregon was hit hard by layoffs in September, particularly high tech, which saw substantial losses compared with the prior month.

Loopers make their living on the links Caddie program thriving at Bandon Dunes BANDON — They are as much a fixture at the Bandon Dunes Golf Resort as the wind and the ocean. From dawn to dusk, Bandon Dunes caddies work the resort’s two golf courses — Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes. With golf bags slung over their shoulders, they guide golfers from all across the United States through their rounds on the links near Bandon. For many, it’s a labor of love. For most, it’s a way of life. For all, it’s a chance to make money — either to supplement income from other jobs, save money for college or just earn a living. “If a guy will put his back into it, you can definitely make a living,” said Chris Kistner, who grew up in Bandon and has been working as a caddie at Bandon Dunes since a year before the resort opened to the public. Kistner is one of about 80 year-round caddies at Bandon Dunes who make walking the links with 20to 40-pound bags on their backs — often two rounds a day — their only job. “If you are double-looping and you’re going six days a week, you can make $800 to $900 a week, “Kistner said. “You get worn out, but the upside is you get paid cash every day. That’s something that keeps me motivated.”

Oregon is officially in recession

Economy: Cutbacks in high tech, construction jobs bring unemployment rate to seven-year high PORTLAND — The jobless rate nudged upward again last month, officially pushing Oregon into a recession, economists said Friday.

Blood donors urgently needed across the nation GET THE WORD OUT! The following statement has been issued by AABB, America’s Blood Centers and the American Red Cross regarding the status of the nation’s blood supply: The blood supply in the United States is dangerously low – an uncommon occurrence for this time of year. It is safe to donate blood and all eligible individuals – including those who have received a COVID- 19 vaccine – are encouraged to make an appointment to donate blood or platelets now to ensure that blood products will be available for all patients when needed. Blood centers across the country are currently

reporting low blood supplies as the Delta variant continues to spread. With the recent COVID-19 case surge and the busy back-toschool period, some blood collection organizations are experiencing an abnormal decline in donor turnout; others are experiencing blood drive cancellations at schools and businesses limiting the number of individuals allowed onsite as a precautionary pandemic practice. These collection challenges have disrupted the nation’s blood supply, resulting in concerningly low inventories of life-saving blood products across the country for patients in need. Fall is typically a time

when the blood supply is more stable – If the nation’s blood supply does not stabilize soon, hospitals may be forced to alter treatment for some patients or cancel some patient surgeries. Blood donations are needed now to help maintain optimal care for all patients. AABB, America’s Blood Centers and the American Red Cross are joining together to urge eligible, healthy individuals to contact their local blood center and make an appointment to donate blood. Doing so is essential to maintaining the stability of the nation’s blood supply, which ensures life- saving medical treatments are available for

patients. Through the coming months, blood collection organizations across the nation need the support and generosity of blood donors to help save lives. Please contact one of the following organizations to find a local blood collection site and to schedule an appointment to donate: • AABB: www. aabb.org; +1.301.907.6977 America’s Blood Centers: www.americasblood. org; +1.202.393.5725 American Red Cross: www.RedCrossBlood. org; +1.800.RED CROSS (+1.800.733.2767) In addition to donations, our nation needs individuals, schools, businesses,

and other community organizations to host a blood drive. Blood drives are critically important to provide local blood donation opportunities and to bring communities together to help save lives.

Blood collection organizations continue to adapt their safety protocols to align with local, state, and federal guidance to ensure the safest possible experience for donors, staff and blood drive hosts.

Vball From A8

Tupua, in particular, was a daunting force against the Pirates with numerous kills in all four sets, repeatedly slamming the ball past the Pirates’ blockers and into open spaces on the court. “They were on tonight,” Siuslaw coach Kari Blake said. “They’re a fun group when they are on.” It wasn’t just the offense that was carrying the Vikings. The front line blocked or tipped many of Marshfield’s attacks, resulting in quick points for Siuslaw or easy chances for libero Hayden Muller and the rest of the back row to make passes to the setter. The Pirates, who had handed Cottage Grove its first league loss in their last match, only avoided the sweep with a strong third set. “They gained some of their energy like what they had against Cottage Grove,” Montiel said, adding that the enthusiasm helped lead to a better attack. Marshfield started the fourth set off with a 6-1 lead and seemingly had all the momentum, but it disappeared quickly as the Vikings caught up on the way to victory. “We let them come back,” Montiel said, adding that part of her message to the squad was “when we’ve got a lead, to not let teams back in.” Marshfield was led by Tatum Montiel’s 28 kills, but no teammates had more than three. Kate Miles had 22 digs and Paige MacDuff had 17. Ava Ainsworth had 29 assists. Siuslaw improved to 5-2 while Marshfield fell to 4-3, tied with Junction City for third place. Both teams still have to play Junction City on the road, while the Vikings still visit Cottage Grove and Marshfield has to go to traditionally tough Marist Catholic. The Pirates are still in good shape if they can quickly right the ship.

The World

“I feel good if we take care of ourselves the rest of the way,” Tammie Montiel said. “We can’t let this define us for the rest of what we do in league.” Because of a scheduling quirk that has all three remaining league matches for the Pirates on the road, Tuesday’s match also was senior night for Marshfield’s Makiah George, Liz Bonner, Aryana Mill and Phe MacDuff. Those seniors still have one more day of matches on their home court though, when Marshfield hosts its annual invitational Saturday, a 16-team event that will feature several other South Coast clubs. BULLDOGS GET BIG WIN: North Bend went the distance on the road, but picked up a key Midwestern League victory, edging host Crater 22-25, 25-20, 25-23, 24-26, 15-8 on Tuesday. North Bend improved to 11-1 in league play, keeping pace with Churchill (12-1) in the race for the league title. The Bulldogs and Lancers split their matches this season. Next up on the league schedule for North Bend were matches against Ashland at home Thursday (results weren’t available by press time) and thirdplace Thurston at home next Tuesday. In between those matches, the Bulldogs play in the Marshfield Invitational on Saturday. COQUILLE TAKES TWO: Coquille kept its Sunset Conference record perfect as the Red Devils race to catch up on two weeks worth of postponed matches, beating Waldport 25-12, 25-10, 16-25, 2519 on Monday and Gold Beach 25-13, 25-8, 25-22 on Tuesday. Those matches both were at home, but the Red Devils have five of their final six league matches away from home, including Myrtle Point on Wednesday (results weren’t available) and both Toledo and Waldport on Friday. Toledo and Reedsport are closes to Coquille in the standings, each with two losses. The

Red Devils visit the Brave next Wednesday. Reedsport swept Waldport Tuesday on the road, 25-12, 28-26, 25-16. CRUISERS CLINCH DIVISION: Powers clinched the title in the Class 1A Skyline League’s south division by sweeping host New Hope 25-13, 2523, 25-16 on Tuesday. The win puts the Cruisers straight into the upcoming league tournament at Marshfield, where Powers will need a win to qualify for the 16-team Class 1A playoff bracket. Powers coach Heather Shorb said she is excited by how her squad is playing. “The team has been doing well,” she said. “We have been working hard to prepare and win the games we need to win.” That included a win over Camas Valley last week that put Powers in the position to clinch the division Tuesday. “Camas was a great win,” Shorb said. “We were able to keep our energy level up and work together even though the last set we started off down by quite a few points.”

OBITUARIES Peggy M. Hightower

Benjamine Arlo Muth

November 27, 1928 - October 3, 2021

January 25, 1949 - October 5, 2021

A graveside service for Peggy M. Hightower, 92, of North Bend, will be held at 2 pm, Saturday, October 23, 2021 at Sunset Memorial Park, 63060 Millington Frontage Road in Coos Bay with Pastor Trevor Hefner of Family Life Center Church of God, officiating. Peggy was born November 27, 1928 in Claredon, Texas to Alvis and Lena Huff. She passed away October 3, 2021 in North Bend. In 1955, Peggy moved to Coos Bay with her first husband, Frank Canup, and their two children. They were divorced in 1964.

with Lakeview and Illinois Valley were considered league forfeits. Thomason said he wasn’t worried about that, but rather focused on a short turnaround before hosting Rogue River on Friday night. “We’re just happy to be playing football,” he said. “We’re playing games now. Everything is right with the world again.” The Red Devils overwhelmed Reedsport with their speedy offensive attack and a tough defense. “We came out with something to prove and we got after it,” Thomason said. Coquille led 34-0 by the end of the first quarter and scored a few moments into the second quarter to pass the threshold that led to a running clock. Reedsport coach Bill Shaw was complimentary of the Red Devils after the contest. “This is the toughest team we’ve faced this year,” he said. “Gunner

Peggy worked at J.C. Penney’s for 24 years until her retirement. She met her second husband, “Tex” in 1965 and they married January 1, 1966. They were together for 51 years. Peggy and Tex retired to Eugene in 1986. They purchased new homes for several years and she did the interior decorating and he did the landscaping, then sold them when Tex got the “bug” to build again. In between they traveled around the western and southern states in “cowboy” country and attended their favorite activity . . . rodeos. When at home they tried to attend as many sporting events as possible that their grandchildren were playing. As their health began to decline, they moved back to North Bend, to be with family. In 2017, Tex passed away and Peggy lived by herself in their home for several years until moving into assisted living at Inland Point. When she needed yet more medical care, she moved to Always There, an adult foster care home.

The family owes Melanie Forbes and all of the caregivers a special thank you for their loving care. Peggy lived there for three years before passing. Peggy is survived by her son, David Canup (Peggy) of North Bend; daughters, Jeri Young of Coos Bay; Connie Giacchero (Kenneth) of Ridgefield, WA; Linda Kight of Placentia, CA; Cathy Willis (Bryan) of Portage, IN; 9 grandchildren; 18 great-grandchildren; and 4 great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband of 51 years, Horton “Tex” Hightower; father, Alvis Huff; mother, Lena Gulley; mother-in-law, Marie Hightower; brother, Jim Huff; sister, Wynelle Huff; granddaughter, Kim Banta; grandson, Chad Canup; and, son-in-law, Stephen Young. The family has requested in lieu of flowers that any donations be sent to a donation of choice. Arrangements are under the care of Coos Bay Chapel, 541-267-3131. Family and friends are invited to sign the online guestbook at www.coosbayareafunerals.com

He married Annette Lee Bertschy, August 5, 1967, in Coos Bay. Ben worked at Hallmark Fisheries, then Weyerhaeuser for many years. He owned a commercial fishing boat for a couple of seasons then worked for DB Western which brought his family to Las Vegas, New Mexico for 1 ½ years. When he returned home he ran his own construction company for several years. When he closed his business, he relocated to Portland, then Salem. Ben and Annette returned home in 2006 at which time he worked and retired from E.L. Edwards Property management as a maintenance man. Ben, Annette, and their oldest daughter and her husband owned a few rentals in the area for several years. Ben enjoyed fishing, clamming, crabbing, hunting, playing card games (especially cribbage), camping, and feeding family and friends. He was very dedicated to his family; he was very proud of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He especially enjoyed hosting fish fries or barbecues to bring

his family together. Ben is survived by his children, Sheryl and husband, Gary Pickett, Carrie Muth and Tim Muth of Coos Bay; grandchildren, Chase and wife, Dodi Pickett of Winston, Brady Pickett, and Hayden Pickett; Tele’a and wife, Amorell Noriega, Sasha Severson, Adrian and wife, Cassandra Mendez-Muth, and Erik Kokel; Ben and fiancé, Jessica Muth and Amanda Muth, all of Coos Bay; 6 adorable great-grandchildren; three sisters, MaryLee Sillman, Betty Jo Haas, and Debra Salazar. He was preceded in death by his wife, Annette; parents, Merle and Mae Muth; two sisters, Delann Armstrong and Linda Muth. Memorial contributions may be made to the Southwestern Chapter of the American Council of the Blind of Oregon, P.O. Box 1658, Coos Bay, OR 97420.

A memorial service for Benjamine Arlo Muth, 72, of Coos Bay will be held at 2 pm, Sunday, October 24, at the Harbor Assembly of God Church, 2050 Lincoln Street in North Bend. His family invites all to stay for a meal after the service as Ben enjoyed bringing people together with a shared meal. Ben’s grandson, Pastor Chase Pickett and son-in-law, Gary Pickett will conduct the service. Ben was born January 25, 1949, in Hillsdale, MI, the son of Merle Clyde and Mae Helen (Shaw) Muth. At the age of 5, Ben and his family relocated to Coos Bay, Oregon. He died October 5, 2021, at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend in Springfield. Ben was a 1967 graduate of Marshfield High School.

(Yates) has great speed.” Yates regularly broke free for long runs on the outside and teammate Brock Willis was similarly effective in the first half. Both only played a few snaps on offense the second half, but the rest of the team kept the ball moving just as well. “Not only did our varsity play good, our JV and reserves did, too,” Thomason said. The result was the big lead early and a near shutout by Coquille’s physical defense. Reedsport got its lone score on the final play of the third quarter when Aaron Solomon got across the goal line. The Red Devils had stopped a drive by the Brave moments earlier, but handed the ball back to Reedsport with a turnover near their own goal line. Coquille has regularly made the playoffs in the recent past, while Reedsport has shown signs of great improvement this fall after a couple of down seasons. The Brave were much more competitive in their losses to Monroe and Bandon, the latter a 14-7

setback to the Tigers a week earlier. “I’m proud of my kids,” Shaw said. “They’ve come a long way trying to rebuild a program.” The success on the field is paying off at the lower levels, with about 20 kids out for the junior high teams and another 20 in the fifth/sixth grade program, Shaw said. Coquille, meanwhile, will look for more efforts like Monday’s as the Red Devils look to get into the playoff picture. “We came out with something to prove (tonight),” Thomason said. “They got after it.”

South Coast mourns death of David Walker By JOHN GUNTHER For The World

The South Coast lost one of its most familiar faces — and voices — when David Walker died after a long illness. David was known throughout the Willamette Valley and South Coast for his role on TV news with KVAL and its sister station, KCBY. Tributes poured in for David on social media this week from members of the community who grew to respect him for all his work in local and regional TV. But he started in radio. And that was his real love, close friend Ron Nance said. “David actually preferred radio,” Nance said. “He loved playing records. He loved doing sports on the radio.” Many people likely will remember David from his time on TV. I will remember him from sports, first as the voice of the North Bend Bulldogs and later for calling state basketball tournaments for the Oregon School Activities Association. David came down to the Bay Area a number of times from Eugene, taking a few days off from the TV news gig to broadcast Class 3A tournament games. One thing that jumped out to me about David was his handwriting. He always kept his own scorebook during tournament games and his writing looked like it could have been done by a typewriter. I always tried to sit near David when I was covering games he

was calling for OSAA, just to listen to him describe the action. He was always thorough, both in the game description and his research about the teams involved, and always excited for both teams. “He was always professional,” said Matt Jarvis, who also calls tournament games for OSAA as well as his work broadcasting for Marshfield, and knew David from those experiences. Nance figures he called dozens of tournament games with David. “David absolutely loved doing play-by-play on the radio,” Nance said. “He would be the first to tell you, he doesn’t know how to do color. He loves doing play-by-play.” Radio was in David’s blood from the start — he followed his dad into the industry. Some 45 years ago, Nance joined the staff at KBBR in North Bend. “David was already there,” Nance said. Their time as coworkers started their friendship. David maintained his on-air role at KBBR even after starting work for KCBY’s news team. “David did the early morning show at KBBR and then he went over and did KCBY,” Nance said. “He did that for years.” David actually owned KBBR for a number of years. When he sold the station, Nance left KBBR and started Marshfield’s radio station, KMHS, with David’s brother Steve. A few years later, David was called to Eugene to work for KVAL.

But Nance and David kept their close friendship, getting together whenever they could for a visit during tournaments or when Nance was in Eugene or David visited the Bay Area. Nance will treasure their last visit. He recently went to Montana to visit a daughter and stayed with David both on the way to and from Montana. I flew home on a Saturday night and David and I sat sideby-side watching the Oregon football game,” Nance said. “That, for me, is going to be special.” My last memory will be judging pies with David at the Coos County Fair during the summer. We judged together for years and years — he even got legendary Portland Trail Blazers announcer Bill Schonely to join us one year. This year, he was the same as all the others — friendly as could be, and engaging — interested in how life was going for me and our other colleagues on the panel. That’s not a surprise to Nance. “One of the interesting things about David is he is absolutely 100 percent the same on TV or the radio as he is in real life,” Nance said. “The one thing about him through all the years we’ve been together, he is just genuine. “He is just one in a million.” I got to know David pretty well, enough to know he was born in Myrtle Point, but graduated from Marshfield. But I realized I never had talked to him about his high school experience. So I was somewhat surprised

David Walker when Nance told me David wasn’t an athlete. “He had zero athleticism,” Nance said. “He just liked doing the radio. He loved doing playby-play.”

OSAA Sports Information Director Steve Walker, no relation to David, summed things up after hearing of David’s death. “What a loss for all,” he said. “Best of dudes.”

OSU receives grant to create wood stoves that burn more cleanly By Steve Lundeberg Guest Article

A team of Oregon State University researchers has received a $2.5 million federal grant to work on reducing harmful emissions from wood-burning stoves, a primary source of heat in Native American communities and in low-resource areas in the United States. Nordica MacCarty of the OSU College of Engineering is the principal investigator on the award from the Department of Energy’s Bioenergy Technologies Office. MacCarty will work with three other OSU researchers plus tribal and industry partners to develop a firebox retrofit that uses the injection of turbulent jets of air to help stoves burn more cleanly and efficiently – even under suboptimal conditions such as wet wood or too much fuel in the firebox. “Minimizing the impact of non-ideal stove operation is really important because that kind of operation contributes the most to fine particle emissions, and it’s often been neglected during testing, research and development,” said MacCarty, the Richard & Gretchen Evans Scholar of Humanitarian Engineering and an associate professor of mechanical engineering. “Our technology can be applied to future firebox design too, but retrofitting will make rapid and affordable implementation possible in underserved and tribal communities that suffer disproportionate health effects from wood smoke exposure.” There are an estimated 6.5 million inefficient stoves in the United States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, most of them older models that predate federal

clean-burning standards. In addition to requiring more fuel, a problem from both an economic and sustainability standpoint, inefficient stoves can have a large, negative effect on chimney safety and air quality; the EPA notes that 20 stoves that don’t burn cleanly can combine in a winter to emit more than a ton of fine particle pollution, or PM2.5 (the 2.5 refers to the maximum width of the particles in microns). Preliminary testing suggests a forced-air, turbulent-jet retrofit can reduce a stove’s PM2.5 emissions by up to 85%, MacCarty said, which is good news on a variety of health fronts. Exposure to particle emissions is linked to asthma attacks, bronchitis and cancer and can aggravate heart and lung disease, according to the EPA. “Our initial focus is on low-resource and tribal communities but the fundamental combustion discoveries and design Contributed photos rules we develop around Nordica MacCarty with the Oregon State College of Engineering is leading a study to find ways to reduce emissions from wood-burning stoves. the injection of jets of forced air will also apply to wood-burning cookstoves, which are widely used in the developing world,” MacCarty said. Collaborating with MacCarty from Oregon State are College of Engineering colleagues Chris Hagen, based at OSU-Cascades in Bend, and David Blunck, plus Shaozeng Zhang, assistant professor of anthropology in the College of Liberal Arts. The team also includes researchers from the Aprovecho Research Center, the Nez Perce tribe, Combustion Consulting Services and Blaze King Industries; it will work with an advisory panel made up of representatives of industry groups, regulatory agencies and regional air quality programs.

troubled times. Food, gasoline and other necessities seem to be getting both scarce and more expensive. There will be an open discussion on how to prepare for what is ahead. SWOP meetings always start with a question and answer 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 they will be “on their own” in the event of a disaster. Join Southwestern Oregon Preppers on Facebook and/or meetup.com

Family yard to-dos this fall Fall is a dog-gone good time to spend in your family yard. It’s also the top-dog time of year to prep our living landscape for another favorite season—spring. Here’s what you need to do now to have a fabulous and TurfMutt-approved family yard this fall and beyond. Mulch Leaves: Mulching your leaves rather than raking and bagging is

good for your lawn and the environment. As shredded leaves decompose, they feed your lawn, naturally. Aerate the Family Lawn: Aerating prevents soil from becoming compacted and covered with thatch - a thick layer of roots, stems and debris that blocks water, oxygen and nutrients from reaching the soil. Mow at the Right Height: Keep cutting your grass until the first hard

frost. Find the just-right length for your species, typically between 2-3 inches, to keep your grass healthy when it turns cold. Water Wisely: If you’re not getting at least an inch of water a week from Mother Nature, you’ll want to keep watering through the fall. Install watering solutions, such as smart controllers on irrigation systems, to help conserve water.
