Brown: State must do better Governor says cases need to drop for schools to reopen JOHN GUNTHER The World
of the men and women of the United States Coast Guard and enhancing the ability of the service to carry out its missions. “It is an honor to be out here in the Pacific Northwest and specifically here in Oregon,” said Admiral Schultz. “We had a chance after arriving last night to spend some time here with our Coastguardsmen down in Coos Bay and at Sector North Bend. Schultz said while there, he promoted a local Coastguardsman and DeFazio was able to attend that ceremony. “(DeFazio) mentioned his leadership position with the Transporatation and Infrastructure Committee, on which sits the Coast Guard Maritime Transportation subcommittee. The chairman and his colleagues on both sides of the aisle really leaned in to support
SALEM — Oregon Governor Kate Brown gave a dire warning Friday that schools might not reopen for several months if the state doesn’t do a better job of stopping the spread of COVID-19. If the state comes together to successfully curb the coronavirus, she said, schools could reopen in six weeks. And she emphasized it is her goal, as well as that of the state’s medical experts, to get students safely back into schools as soon as possible “Today, Oregon has one of the lowest COVID-19 mortality rates in the entire country,” Brown said. “I want to say thank you to every Oregonian, every business, every elected local official who has helped put us in this position. We have truly slowed the spread of the virus. “Wearing masks, limiting social gatherings, enforcing health and safety rules, these strategies work. Unfortunately, it’s still not enough. Our infection rate is still too high to get all of our kids safely back into the classrooms in most of our schools this fall. To keep students, teachers and staff safe in our schools across the state, we need to see a much more rapid decline in case numbers and we need to see it quickly.” Brown said the state’s rate of new infections has stabilized at about 300 new cases a day. But to reopen schools to students, she said the rate needs to drop to 60 cases per day. “And opening classrooms for in-class learning, including child care and K through 12, is my priority,” Brown said. “If we cannot improve our trajectory over the rest of the month, by

sprawling coalition. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois senator who lost her legs in Iraq and is raising two young children, said Biden has “common decency.” Cory Booker, only the ninth African American senator in U.S. history, said Biden believes in the dignity of all working Americans. And Pete Buttigieg, the 38-year-old former South Bend, Indiana, mayor and a gay military veteran, noted that Biden came out in favor of same-sex marriage as vice president even before President Barack Obama. “Joe Biden is right, this is a contest for the soul of the nation. And to me that contest is not
between good Americans and evil Americans,” Buttigieg said. “It’s the struggle to call out what is good for every American.” Above all, Biden focused on uniting the nation as Americans grapple with the long and fearful health crisis, the related economic devastation, a national awakening on racial justice — and Trump, who stirs heated emotions from all sides. Biden’s positive focus Thursday night marked a break from the dire warnings offered by Obama and others the night before. The 44th president of the United States warned that American democracy itself could falter if Trump is reelected, while

U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio, left, and U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Karl L. Schultz give each other an elbow bump after DeFazio was honored with an award in front of the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport terminal in North Bend on Thursday morning.
Coast Guard honors DeFazio NORTH BEND — Often on U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio’s visits to the South Coast, he honors a community member or business for their contributions to the local area. On Thursday morning, DeFazio was the one being honored in front of the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport terminal for his efforts in Congress to help the U.S. Coast Guard. DeFazio was bestowed by Admiral Karl L. Schultz, commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, with the 2019 Commodore Ellsworth P. Bertholf Leadership Award. In 1915, the demands of a burgeoning nation and the vision of the Coast Guard service’s first Commandant — Commodore Ellsworth P. Bertholf — created the modern-day Coast Guard from what was a collection of other

But the coronavirus denied him the typical celebration, complete with the customary balloon drop that both parties often use to fete their new nominees. Instead,
Biden spoke to a largely empty arena near his Delaware home. Afterward, fireworks lit the sky outside the arena, where supporters waited in a parking lot, honking horns and flashing headlights in a moment that finally lent a jovial feel to the event. The keynote address was the speech of a lifetime for Biden, who would be the oldest president ever elected if he defeats Trump in November. Trump, who is 74, publicly doubts Biden’s mental capacity and calls him “Slow Joe,” but with the nation watching, Biden was firm and clear. Still, the convention leaned on a younger generation earlier in the night to help energize his

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Joe Biden accepted the Democratic presidential nomination with a vow to be a unifying “ally of the light” who would move an America in crisis past the chaos of President Donald Trump’s tenure. In his strongest remarks of the campaign, Biden spoke Thursday night both of returning the United States to its traditional leadership role in the world and of the deeply personal challenges that shaped his life. Virtually every sentence of his 22-minute speech was designed to present a sharp, yet hopeful, contrast with the Republican incumbent. “Here and now I give you my word: If you entrust me with

POLICE BRIEFS Two brothers dead after kayak overturns at Tenmile Lake LAKESIDE — Two brothers are dead after one flipped the kayak he was in and the other ran from the dock and jumped into the water to help rescue him on Sunday in Lakeside. According to a press release from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, on Sunday, Aug. 16, at about 4:54 p.m., the Lakeside Fire Department was paged for a medical call on North Tenmile Lake in Lakeside. It was initially reported that two men were in the water after their kayak rolled over in the lake. Lakeside Fire, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police responded to the scene.
Before emergency crews arrived, Paul Rethwish, who lives nearby, had pulled both men out of the water — one at a time — and Rethwish and three other neighbors were performing CPR on the two men in two-person teams. During the investigation, officers learned that 61-year-old Mark A. Gray, who was visiting his brother, 67-year-old Philip J. Gray, at his residence along the lake, was out in a kayak when it tipped over about 50 feet out into the lake. Mark was unable to re-board the kayak and was not wearing a life jacket, according to a press release from Capt. Gabriel Fabrizio of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office. Philip Gray heard his brother’s cry for help and ran down
the dock and jumped in the water in an effort to help Mark. When he learned of the situation, Rethwish entered the water and pulled one brother out and started CPR with a neighbor. When another neighbor showed up to help with CPR, Rethwish went back out into the water and pulled the second brother up from the bottom of the lake and pulled him back to shore and started CPR with another neighbor. Rethwish said he and the neighbors had been doing CPR for about 10 minutes before Sheriff’s deputies arrived on scene, relieving some of the neighbors of CPR. Rethwish continued until the other emergency personnel arrived — he figured he was doing it
about 45 minutes total. Ulitimately, the CPR efforts performed by the neighbors and multiple law enforcement officers and Lakeside Fire Department volunteers on scene were unsuccessful. Both Phillip and Mark ultimately succumbed to their injuries.
Man charged following eluding incident in Lakeside LAKESIDE — A man has been charged with multiple crimes following an eluding incident Sunday in Lakeside. According to a press release from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, on Sunday, Aug. 16, at about 8:10 p.m., a Sheriff’s Office deputy attempted a traffic stop on
a class I ATV (quad) on Airport Lane near Spinreel Road in Lakeside for operation without head lights and operating on the shoulder of the roadway. The operator, 38-yearold Jeffery Ross, then reportedly attempted to elude, turning down Spinreel Road, driving recklessly and endangering other vehicles on the road as well as a bicyclist and a person on foot, according to the release. Ross then abandoned the vehicle in front of Dunes Mobile Ranch and attempted to elude on foot south bound onto the railroad tracks. The sheriff’s deputy pursued Ross for about 400 yards down the tracks and was able to end the pursuit by tackling Ross as he turned off of the tracks,
attempting to get to U.S. Highway 101. Oregon State Police officers in the area assisted with the pursuit and investigation. The ATV was determined to be stolen from the Hauser KOA earlier this year. Ross was issued multiple citations on charges including attempt to elude, recovery stolen ATV, reckless driving, theft I by possession, unauthorized use of vehicle, driving while suspended, driving uninsured and unlawful operation of ATV on highway. Ross was cited and released in lieu of custody. There was also a loaded syringe with suspected methamphetamine seized. The recovered ATV was taken to impound by Mast Brothers Towing.

Since Monday, the state has reported exactly 1,000 new cases of the virus and 26 new deaths. In addition to Friday’s new cases, the state reported 301 cases and four deaths Thursday, 203
new cases and 11 deaths Wednesday and 237 new cases and nine deaths Tuesday. There were six new cases reported in Douglas County and one each in Coos and Curry counties. All of the deaths were people between 60 and 99 years old, and nearly all had preexisting conditions. Deaths were reported in Lane, Marion, Washington (five), Baker, Douglas, Linn, Multnomah (six),
Polk, Clackamas (five), Jefferson, Lincoln (two) and Malheur counties. COVID 19 modeling data shows improvement OHA released its latest modeling update Friday.

GUEST OPINION
Benefits fraud boosts ID theft to number one scam spot DANIELLE KANE
Better Business Bureau
At the height of the coronavirus pandemic in April and May, hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs. This led to an astounding increase in unemployment benefits claims filed across the country. However, by mid-May, another story emerged: con artists were filing fraudulent unemployment claims using consumers’ identities. Fraudulent claims were indeed mistakenly paid out, and thousands of people had to file identity theft reports with the government. Now, we’re able to see the quantifiable impact of this fallout. The Federal Trade Commission has confirmed that identify theft officially moved up to their number one spot for fraud as of Q3, outpacing the number of reports they get for imposter scams (i.e. fake phone calls and emails claiming to be from the Center for Disease Control or Social Security Administration). This was due in large part to the high volume of benefits fraud that occurred. So just how many people were victims of benefits fraud? Data provided by the FTC shows that in the second quarter alone, 349,641 ID Theft reports were filed across the United States. Of those reports, more than 77,600 were specific to government documents or benefits fraud. By far the state most impacted was Oregon’s neighbor, Washington. For context, Better Business Bureau Northwest + Pacific has highlighted stats for our region, including the number of unemployment filing scams reported and the top-ranking identity-theft scam in each state, if not benefits fraud. Washington was at the epicenter of this scam and saw, by far, the highest number of unemployment filing scams. Benefits fraud accounted for 34,246 cases of ID Theft reports. Hawaii also saw a high number of reports, with benefits fraud outdoing all other ID theft categories by a long shot – 691 cases were filed. Oregon only saw 240 cases of benefits fraud. In the number one
A good end to an identity politics orgy Danielle Kane
Better Business Bureau
spot for Oregon instead was employment and tax-related fraud, coming in at 582. In Montana, benefits fraud was in the number one spot for ID Theft cases, totaling 217. Idaho saw 108 cases of benefits fraud. Credit card fraud was in the number one spot, accounting for 143 cases of reported ID Theft. Alaska saw an extremely low number of cases, with only 36 reports filed for benefits fraud. The theft type that ranked highest was credit card fraud at a mere 58 cases. Critical to all types of identity theft – whether benefits filing fraud or another type – is acting fast to remedy the situation. Victims often don’t know right away they’ve been targeted, so alerting the appropriate agencies is of the utmost importance. BBB Northwest + Pacific offers the following tips: Report the fraud to your employer (if unemployment related) Report the fraud to your state unemployment benefits agency, preferably online. Report to your banks and credit card companies. This is true across all types. Recovery steps include placing a freeze on your credit and using fraud alerts on all accounts. Report to IdentityTheft.gov to alert necessary agencies, including the FTC. File a Scam Tracker report with your local Better Business Bureau.

With Americans pained by both civic violence and cases of police brutality, the times call for leaders who support law and order and justice. Joe Biden has found such a person in choosing Kamala Harris as his running mate. But getting there was not half the fun. It was not fun at all. As often happens in Democratic campaigning, the process deteriorated into a self-harming orgy of identity politics. For starters, Biden should not have vowed early on to pick a woman. Then black activists -- backstopped by the woke white left -- demanded that the woman be “of color.” Both groups framed such a decision as a “reward” for black women who, they say, are the “backbone” of the Democratic Party. No. The reward is getting rid of President Donald Trump. And a look at voting patterns suggests that most African American voters understand something the activists don’t. Those participating in the Democratic primaries had black candidates to choose from, but they preferred Biden by a very large margin. Why? Because the color of the nominee was not their paramount consideration. Replacing Trump was. And they knew what they were doing. So did President Barack Obama when he made Biden, a regular white guy from Scranton, his partner. Obama knew how to win. Let’s get the sad part over with. In her first primary
Froma Harrop
debate, Harris cynically attacked Biden as racially insensitive because he opposed forced school busing. As it turned out, she held the exact same position. Later on, she declared she was “the only black person on this stage,” exuding the kind of identity politics that get Democrats into so much trouble. May all that be in her past. Much of Harris’ appeal -- both as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general -- was being a tough prosecutor. She went after the violent criminals who, it should be noted, prey mostly on minority communities. There won’t be any moronic “defund the police” rhetoric coming from her. Some on the left dislike her for this, but it’s a strong selling point in the general election. A DA can oppose mass incarceration of low-level drug offenders and at the same time seek higher conviction rates for serious crimes. There’s no contradiction there. A sharp mind combined with experience in some of
America’s biggest law enforcement jobs makes Harris someone who could conceivably step in as president. The Harris debate we can look forward to is the one with Vice President Mike Pence. Biden’s insistence that his running mate be a woman oddly trivialized many of the candidates on his list. Several of the top names were exceptionally qualified apart from their gender, apart from their race. Lumping them together in a DNA-segregated playpen seemed somehow demeaning. Daughter of a Jamaican father and Indian mother, Harris is herself driven “crazy” at being reduced to a “demographic archetype,” according to a longtime aide. Identity diehards who loudly insist that if Biden hadn’t picked a “woman of color,” black female voters might stay home insult both the voters and the candidates. Biden’s choice of Harris is, in the end, a good one, not because of her coloration but because of her talents, experience and understanding of the moment we live in. But it should have been OK for him to choose a white man with the same strengths. Or a black man or a male Asian American. There was nothing wrong with Cory Booker or Andrew Yang. They should have been on the vice presidential list, as well as Pete Buttigieg. Well, the process was unnecessarily painful, but Democrats now have a strong ticket. Time to forward march to Nov. 3.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pronoun lesson was tiresome You gotta be kidding me! Nearly a third of the Aug. 15 Opinion Page taken up with an English pronoun lesson! And, the diatribe was tiresome, confusing and convoluting! I tire of hues and cries of the LGBTQxyz-ers. This fringe group expects absurd toilet facilities, unfair sports competition, marriage equality ... the self-serving list goes on. And now Xem want to change the English language to suit Xyer perceived distinctiveness! Woe to this once-civilized country if we let a few hims/hers/ thems/its interfere with normalcy. My name is Bob. My pronoun is he. Bob Fluetsch North Bend
Shame on The World Shame on The World for posting a piece of political propaganda on the front page of the Aug. 11 e-edition. Local people don’t need to be force-fed half-truths from men so weak that they refuse to call the other party’s members by their proper terms. Democratic (that’s the word) leaders have condemned the violence from all parties. Any word on when conservatives (not just Republicans, but conservatives) will condemn the police for their part in this conflict? Or when they will criticize the use of federal stormtroopers in our state? It is one thing to post a hitpiece in the Opinion section, but
square front-and-center? Are we to expect MORE front-page stories to be hand-written by members of one party? Please. This community reads, and believes, enough claptrap. Nick Richards North Bend
Future doesn’t look good for Jordan Cove It was exciting to hear the news that Oregon’s Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) reversed a dredging disposal permit for Jordan Cove LNG that the City of North Bend rubber stamped last year. Our Bay is a critical part of our community and local economy. LUBA’s ruling is an important step for protecting it. In the last year alone, hundreds of Coos County community members have gone to meetings, rallies, wrote comments and more, to oppose local land use permits because Jordan Cove LNG would harm our community and the fishing and recreation industries which rely on a healthy bay. A big thanks to Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition and Citizens for Renewables for challenging this permit to protect our bay (and winning) in court! Because impacted landowners, Tribal members, fishermen, and others across Coos County and the rest of Southern Oregon have come together, Jordan Cove LNG is closer to dead than ever. The project only has a conditional approval from the federal government, meaning it cannot move forward unless Oregon’s agencies
change their mind and decide it complies with the safeguards that protect our communities — which Oregon has already said it does not. The future does not look good for Jordan Cove LNG as major pipelines like the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, Keystone XL, and Dakota Access Pipeline have been canceled, shut down, and major permits revoked by federal courts. Fracked gas is truly a bust. Coos Bay should be focused on building local jobs in renewable energy and restoring our bay instead. There are seven more local land use permits that have been challenged by community organizations that we should be hearing back from LUBA about in the next few months. I am hopeful that we will continue to see rulings that put the health and safety of our community and bay first, before the special corporate interests of the fossil fuel industry.

Let’s vote Engelke in I just found out that Jessica Engelke is running for North Bend mayor this next election cycle. I would love to see her take the helm for our city. She is truly independent, unaffiliated with any political party for a long time now. She has a background in business, teaches at our college, and she grew up here before coming back a decade ago to raise her family here. In particular, though, as a public official and as a professional,
she is consistently responsive to questions, as well as open to new ideas and different perspectives -a quality that all our leaders need to cultivate in these times where tornadoes of change seem to be invading every major system in our society, including the natural world around us. Especially in such times, then, we must demand government officials to be responsive and transparent during the entire process of governance, not just at the onset of changes that affect us. We deserve timely responsiveness to our questions and concerns. We require transparency around how decisions are made. We should be able to expect flexibility and adroit action when the plans create unintended consequences. My experience working with Mrs. Engelke shows me that she not only shares that vision of government, but delivers it as a sitting member of the City Council. Let’s vote Mrs. Engelke in! Jenny Jones, owner InfoSurf Consulting North Bend
All lives matter The other day as I pressed through a crowd of peaceful protesters to pick up a to-go order of fish and chips, a woman also waiting for her order, commented, “All lives matter” in response to the chant, Black lives matter. Before I could reply I was handed my order and so as to not keep others waiting, I shortened my response to, ”Have a good day.” The response, All lives matter, is a
common reaction to the now iconic battle cry, Black Lives Matter. It is true that All Lives Do Matter — they should matter equally, but in today’s America, they don’t. Black lives, by institutional design have not mattered, at least in just and equal proportions. Black lives since they first arrived as slaves, through the Civil War and emancipation, through continuing domination by Jim Crow Laws, to present day discrimination, mattered little. White Americans, have enjoyed political and economic dominance from the beginning, and have a difficult time understanding that this is a rare moment in history where we as a nation, have an opportunity to reshape our laws and institutions, to undo this injustice. I don’t believe that whites, generally, have ill-will towards blacks, at least not consciously. But given that white advantage is prevalent, we have experienced life in America in a very different way from other minorities. Most of us have not had to endure the many large and small injustices of employment and housing barriers, police hostility, voting rights repression, and the list goes on and on. Most whites have not lived in that world — a world being promoted by the very structure of our government. Now the Black Lives Matter movement is challenging us all to change necessary laws and institutions, so all of us, Black and White, Brown and Yellow can chant together — All Lives Matter.

Boyfriend’s confession rocks his once solid relationship
DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of four years recently admitted that he cheated on me six months ago. I was blindsided. Until the day he told me, I thought we shared everything. The hollowness and betrayal I feel is sometimes overwhelming. He explained that at the time, he was dealing with substance issues and depression, which I was also unaware of. Both have worsened in recent months. How could I have been so blind? To complicate things further, I have a 6-year-old son who has grown to love this man as a father because my ex-husband walked out on us when he was born. He has been an amazing role model for my son, and overall, a wonderful partner -- or so I thought. He says he’s heartbroken over the pain he’s caused me. He recently started receiving treatment for his depression through medication and therapy, and he has begged me to go to couples therapy to rebuild the trust that’s been lost. I was taught to believe that cheating is the end of a relationship, no ifs, ands or buts. I don’t want to end the relationship, but I’m struggling with the decision because of what I was taught, especially when I confide in friends and they tell me to dump him. I wish I knew what to do. I need an objective opinion. Can a relationship survive such a betrayal? Can we be happy again? -- HOLLOW IN NEW YORK DEAR HOLLOW: The answers to your questions are yes and yes -- especially if both partners are fully committed and prepared to get couples therapy from a licensed professional. If you love this man and want to give this relationship a chance, quit confiding in your friends and start talking with the therapist. Your boyfriend is remorseful, he is also in treatment, and he is trying his best to get better and work things out. Please give him the opportunity to do that because, if you do, your story may have a happy ending. DEAR ABBY: I am a 26-year-old
single woman living alone during quarantine. I have no family who live in-state. Admittedly, I’ve struggled with loneliness during quarantine, and my family knows this. For weeks, I have been fending off my dad’s attempts to fly cross-country and visit. I don’t think it’s safe and have told him no. Today, he told me that he is making plane reservations, it doesn’t matter what I say or want. I know this comes from a place of love, but he is completely disregarding my feelings, especially since I have been extremely careful in quarantine and he hasn’t been. Is there a way I can keep this visit from happening? -- HOME ALONE IN RHODE ISLAND DEAR HOME ALONE: Yes, there is. Tell your father plainly you are afraid of being exposed to the virus because he hasn’t been as careful about exposure as you have been. If he still insists, tell him he must bring with him proof that he has tested negative, and even then you won’t see him unless you are both masked, gloved and practicing social distancing. He should also not plan on staying with you. If that doesn’t discourage him, when he arrives, see him outside and remain 6 feet apart in case he has been exposed at the airport or on the plane. ---------------------------------------Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

and looking forward. He will no longer have to fight. Rick had an interesting childhood growing up, moving around with his family from the Azores to Florida because of his father’s military career.

grandchildren, Katelynn, Elizabeth, Gavin, Donavin, Aurora and Damien; brothers, David, and his wife, Susan, and Jody, and his wife, Dominique; nieces, Trisha and Mariah; and nephew, Zach.

Veteran resource grants awarded to 14 Oregon universities, colleges The World OREGON — The Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs is pleased to announce the award of the 2020 Campus Veteran Resource Center grants, which are designed to expand Campus Veteran Resource Centers and bolster other services aimed at improving outcomes for student veterans at Oregon’s public universities and community colleges. Veteran Resource Centers help student veterans transition from military service to college life, complete their educational goals and successfully transition back into the civilian workforce and community. The purpose of the Campus Veteran Resource Center Grants is to augment existing campus resources by funding innovative and impactful projects or programs designed to improve the lives of student veterans and help them succeed. All 14 of the public universities and community colleges that applied for a grant received a portion of the available grant funds. The onetime grants ranged from $25,830 to $79,290. The projects were selected through an evaluation committee composed of members of the Oregon Veterans’ Affairs Advisory Committee, repre-
sentatives of Oregon’s national veteran service organizations, veterans and education experts. Southwestern Oregon Community College in Coos Bay received a grant of $72,460 from the program. “A post-secondary degree or course of study at a technical or vocation college is a critical gateway for many veterans to transition out of the military into a successful civilian career,” said ODVA Director Kelly Fitzpatrick. “But unlike most students, veterans are often older and have very different life experiences from their peers. “Campus Veteran Resource Centers provide critical veteran resources and offer support networks with other student veterans, which can drastically improve outcomes and help ensure success for student veterans in their educational endeavors and future careers.” Highlights of the projects receiving grant funding include: Training for academic faculty and staff in military culture and unique needs of student veterans. Establishment of peer mentor programs and other support services to foster deeper connections among peers resulting in increased veteran retention and success in school.
Purchase of tutorial software for veterans in the areas of collegelevel writing and math skills, tutoring or a lending library. Partnering with community organizations, employment resources and potential employers, which will assist student veteran transitioning from school to the workplace. Expansion of Veteran Resource Centers and moving them to central locations, which include study areas, computers, printers, food pantry and space for the veteran coordinators to assist the student veteran. Development of veteranspecific campus orientation and welcome programs for student veterans and their families. The grant recipients include University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Portland State University, Oregon Institute of Technology, Southern Oregon State University and Western Oregon University, along with the Blue Mountain, Chemeketa, Clackamas, Klamath, Lane, Mount Hood, Rogue and Southwestern Oregon Community College systems.

Small businesses are cutting costs during the pandemic with energy incentives
New LED lighting at La Tapatia 2 makes shopping easier for customers while store owners save thousands in energy costs each year.
BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER COMES NEXT. This last year has shown us anything can happen. High energy bills don’t need to be another thing to worry about. Add low-cost DIY projects to your to-do list and you’ll be saving energy and money in no time.

Projects meant to bring down utility bills are doing much more for small businesses in Oregon – some are making properties safer and more convenient for customers. Juan Alavarez owns La Tapatia 2, a Mexican grocery and meat market in Gresham. He recently installed new energy-efficient LED lighting to replace the outdated lighting outside his store with help from Energy Trust of Oregon. Although he was looking for energy savings, the upgrade brought some additional, unexpected benefits to his business. Alvarez says his building is now safer and there’s less vandalism.
“The new lighting is brighter and not easily breakable. Security is better. Customers and neighbors say it looks amazing.” – Juan Alavarez, owner of La Tapatia 2
Inside the store, Alavarez also replaced all of the overhead fluorescent lighting with LEDs, which has helped lighten up darker corners. That makes it easier for customers to see what’s on each store shelf. “The first day after installation, customers commented that they could see our products better,” said Alvarez. The upgrades inside and out are saving La Tapatia 2 an estimated $2,600 each year in energy costs. But the store only had to a pay about 20% of the $34,000 project cost to purchase and install the new lighting, thanks to incentives offered by Energy Trust. Energy Trust is a nonprofit created by the State of Oregon to connect more people to sustainable, affordable energy and clean, renewable power. Energy Trust provides cash incentives to individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities and others for equipment and projects that help use less energy. Since 2002, Energy Trust has provided incentives to thousands of Gresham families, businesses, schools, farms and ranches for energy upgrades, helping Gresham utility customers save more than $40 million on utility bills from participation in Energy Trust.

The last mobilization of Oregonians this size was in 2009 through 2010. U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley along with Forest Grove Mayor Peter B. Truax, where these Soldiers are based out of, greeted troops arriving in Portland on Tuesday, Aug. 18. “On behalf all Oregonians, I thank the mem-
bers of the Oregon Army National Guard for their service, commitment and sacrifice,” said Sen. Merkley. “The support they provide allows the rest of us to live in a safer, more secure country. I know the loved ones of our brave service members will be overjoyed to have them home, and I look forward to joining them today to thank them for their commitment to serve and protect.” Oregon National Guard Citizen-Soldiers are
scheduled to arrive home throughout the month of August with staggered arrivals scheduled next week in Portland as well as to Medford on Aug. 26 and 27. The final group of Soldiers from the 41st, who are in Kosovo are scheduled to arrive home in Oregon before Christmas. Each of the groups has and is scheduled for a two-week quarantine at their demobilization site in Ft. Bliss, Texas prior to their return home to Oregon.
thunderstorms. Oregon has experienced wildfires this season that have resulted in evacuations, threatened critical infrastructure, and destroyed homes and other structures. The extended forecast in Oregon calls for continued warm and dry conditions, resulting in the imminent threat of fire over a broad area of the state. Further-
more, Oregon continues to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak, which adds complexity to wildland firefighting and operations to protect the health and safety of firefighters and Oregonians whose homes or businesses may be threatened by wildfire. “The wildfire season has escalated in Oregon this summer, and fire crews
are working in extreme temperatures to keep homes and resources safe during this pandemic,” Governor Brown said. “Given drought conditions and hotter than usual temperatures, Oregonians should be prepared for an intense wildfire season this summer. I’m committed to making state resources available to ensure crews have the

Oregon National Guard soldiers continue return home The World
SALEM — Oregon National Guard Citizen-Soldiers continue to return home from overseas mobilizations across the state. The first group arrived last week and continues this week, with a team of approximately 100 Oregonians arriving in Medford Tuesday who had deployed to Djibouti, Africa for nine months. The units deployed to Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Djibouti and
Gov. Brown declares state of emergency due to threat of wildfire The World
SALEM — Governor Kate Brown on Wednesday declared a state of emergency due to the imminent threat of wildfire across Oregon. Much of the state is now in extreme fire danger, and red flag warnings have been issued for hot, dry, windy conditions and dry
resources they need on the ground and across the state. I urge the public to use extreme caution and be mindful of fire restrictions to protect the beauty and bounty of our state.” Pursuant to ORS 401.165 et seq, Governor Brown determined that a threat to life, safety, and property exists due to the imminent threat of wildfire. The Gov-
ernor’s declaration authorizes the Oregon Department of Forestry and the Oregon Office of the State Fire Marshal, in coordination with the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, to utilize personnel, equipment and facilities from other state agencies in order to respond to or mitigate the effects of the wildfire emergency.

We need everyone to use them.” Brown said increased restrictions might include closing some businesses again, including bars and restaurants, or limiting them to outside service. Another option would be some sort of travel ban including quarantine restrictions on people entering Oregon from areas of the country that
Biden From A1
Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris, the 55-yearold California senator and daughter of Jamaican and Indian immigrants, warned that Americans’ lives and livelihoods were at risk. Biden’s Democratic Party has sought this week to put forward a cohesive vision of values and policy priorities, highlighting efforts to combat climate change, tighten gun laws and embrace a humane immigration policy. They have drawn a sharp contrast with Trump’s policies and personality, portraying him as cruel, self-centered and woefully unprepared to manage virtually any of the nation’s mounting crises and policy challenges.

Coast Guard oversight for most of that. Thanks for your continued leadership,” Schultz said. Schultz then announced DeFazio as the 2019 Commodore Ellsworth P. Bertholf Leadership Award winner. This is the 20th presentation of the award. The Coast Guard picks one member of Congress each year, alternating between the House and the Senate. DeFazio was chosen for his long-term vision, leadership and support for the men and women of the United States Coast Guard. “Chairman Pete DeFazio’s support of
the Coast Guard is long-standing and he has a vision and he’s leaned in and put his shoulder in to the Coast Guard Authorization Act, which doesn’t happen every year,” Schultz said. “The 2020 bill came out of the House this year ... there’s many key provisions in there that will better the Coast Guard and the men and women and families that allow us to do the Coast Guard work. “On behalf of the 55,000 men and women with the Coast Guard active duty reserve and civilians, we are honored to name you as the 2019 Commandant Ellsworth P.
Bertholf Award.” Prior to the award presentation, DeFazio gave a few words about the importance of the Coast Guard. “Coos Bay, North Bend, this air station here is a critical component of the whole Oregon coast, particularly the central southern Oregon coast, keeping our commercial folks and our recreational folks safe day in, day out. The Coast Guard does so much with so little, it’s an extraordinary service,” DeFazio said. “I’m just honored to chair the committee that has jurisdiction over the Coast Guard and (who)
we’re doing better by. For too many years they were flatlined with their budget. They’ve got aging equipment and we’re now buying them new classes of ships for the new missions that have come since 9/11 and we’re recognizing their service with a little bit of additional money,” he said. “It’s a great honor to serve in that capacity and it’s particular honor to have the commandant here today,” DeFazio added. DeFazio made visits this week along the South Coast and inland during Congress’s break after its summer Special Session.
His visit to the Sector North Bend Coast Guard Station involved inspecting the cutters and touring the housing project for enlistees. “We’re going to look at housing today. Housing is a perpetual problem for Coasties and that’s one thing we’ve got to do better on in order to help them and support their families,” DeFazio said. “It’s critical they’re well-housed and also that they’re making a good living.” Editors Note: See Tuesday’s print edition of The World for an update by DeFazio on ongoing legislation.
are COVID-19 hot-spots and requiring quarantine for Oregon residents who return to the state after visiting those areas. Brown said she has challenged community and business leaders to “step up and get the job done.” She said she asked business leaders to take additional steps to ensure employee and customer safety, including making sure people are wearing face coverings and staying six feet apart. “Local officials need to conduct more business inspections in places like indoor entertainment venues and restaurant kitchens,” Brown said. “Community leaders need to make sure as new cases are identified,
we are connecting people with economic supports to help them stay home and quarantine, even when they have mild symptoms. We do have resources available so that people can afford to stay home. We need to get that money and help out in the communities where it is needed.” Residents, meanwhile, need to do a better job avoiding the social situations that lead to the spread of the virus, she said. “Local officials need to get creative about enforcing rules against large social gatherings, house parties, pool parties and so forth,” she said. “Too many cases over the summer have come from these informal social get-togeth-
ers. “I am here to deliver a message to local elected officials, local community leaders and business leaders, and to everyone single Oregonian. Now is the time to step up even further.” Brown was joined in her press briefing by Pat Allen, the director of the Oregon Health Authority, and Dr. Dean Sidelinger, the state epidemiologist. Allen noted that while the number of new infections and deaths from COVID-19 were down for a second straight week last week, Oregon still has hit the milestones of more than 24,000 confirmed cases and 414 total deaths.
“That’s over 400 people who have left behind families, friends, colleagues and neighbors who will miss them, and we extend our deepest sympathies,” he said. The number of hospitalizations also has dropped, Allen said. “We are making a difference in stemming the tide, but the virus remains prevalent across Oregon and is a risk to everyone,” Allen said. “We are on the right track. Now we need to step on the gas.” Sidelinger offered a message of hope if the state pulls together, adding that in-school learning could return within six weeks if the state hits the governor’s goals.
“Getting students back into schools is in our reach,” he said. “We have some work to do, but it’s attainable.” Brown agreed. “We know from the data that if Oregonians continue to adhere to the social distancing guidelines and face mast guidelines, we can get to where we need to be,” she said. “(At the current rate), it will take roughly over 200 days before all our kids can get back into the classroom. If we can get the factor down, it can happen in as little as six weeks. It’s honestly up to all of us and it’s going to take collective effort and collective action. “We can get this done.”
Pence, interviewed Friday on several morning talk shows, criticized Democrats as presenting “a very grim picture of the United States” and said the Republican National Convention next week will focus on what Trump has accomplished, including on the economy and with his coronavirus response. Voting was another prime focus of the convention on Thursday as it has been all week. Democrats fear that the pandemic -and Trump administration changes at the U.S. Postal Service -- may make it difficult for voters to cast ballots in person or by mail. Comedian Sarah Cooper, a favorite of many Democrats for her videos lip syncing Trump’s speeches, put it bluntly: “Donald Trump doesn’t
want any of us to vote because he knows he can’t win fair and square.” Biden’s call for unity comes as some strategists worry that Democrats cannot retake the White House simply by tearing Trump down, that Biden needs to give his sprawling coalition something to vote for. That’s easier said than done in a modern Democratic Party made up of disparate factions that span generation, race and ideology. Though he has been in the public spotlight for decades as a Delaware senator, much of the electorate knows little about Biden’s background before he began serving as Obama’s vice president in 2008. Thursday’s convention served as a national reintroduction of sorts that drew on some of the most painful moments of his
life. “I know how mean and cruel and unfair life can be sometimes,” Biden said. He added: “I found the best way through pain and loss and grief is to find purpose.” As a schoolboy, Biden was mocked by classmates and a nun for a severe stutter. He became a widower at just 30 after losing his wife and infant daughter to a car accident. And just five years ago, he buried his eldest son, who was stricken by cancer. From such hardship, Biden developed a deep sense of empathy that has defined much of his political career. And throughout the convention, Biden’s allies testified that such empathy, backed by decades of governing experience, makes him the perfect candidate to guide the nation
back from mounting health and economic crises. His allies Thursday included Brayden Harrington, a 13-year-old boy from Concord, New Hampshire. The boy said he and Biden were “members of the same club,” each with a stutter they’re working to overcome. He noted that Biden told him about a book of poems he liked to read aloud to practice his speech and showed the boy how he marks his speeches so they’re easier to read aloud. “I’m just a regular kid, and in a short amount of time, Joe Biden made me more confident about a thing that’s bothered me my whole life,” Harrington said. The end of the carefully scripted convention now gives way to a far less-pre-
dictable period for Biden and his Democratic Party as the 2020 election season speeds to its uncertain conclusion. While Election Day isn’t until Nov. 3, early voting gets underway in several battleground states in just one month. Biden has maintained a polling advantage over Trump for much of the year, but it remains to be seen whether the Democratic nominee’s approach to politics and policy will genuinely excite the coalition he’s courting in an era of uncompromising partisanship. Biden summed up his view of the campaign: “We choose a path of becoming angry, less hopeful and more divided, a path of shadow and suspicion, or we can choose a different path and together take this chance to heal.”

BANDON — As with all things COVID-19 related, the 74th annual Bandon Cranberry Festival has changed considerably this year. But Bandon Chamber Board president and Cranberry Festival chairman Anthony Zunino, along with Chamber CEO Margaret Pounder and volunteers are making an attempt to celebrate the time-honored tradition of the festival in a modified way and the community is invited to participate. The Bandon Cranberry Harvest Celebration is a modified substitute for the annual Cranberry Festival, which annually draws thousands of people to town on the second weekend in September. “We deliberated long and hard about just not doing anything, but the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors wanted to honor, the best we could, some of our community traditions,” said Pounder. “Based on the mandates of physical distancing, we have carefully and thoughtfully worked to create celebration events that will be shared on Facebook – Cranberry Festival page, and again on the Bandon Chamber of Commerce website,” Pounder said. Currently the following are being planned:
Cranberry Court There is a Cranberry Court, and they will be honored at several celebrations. The court consists of Bandon High School seniors Hannah Bristow, Kayla

This year’s Bandon Cranberry Celebration Court members are, from left, Hannah Bristow, Kayla LaPlante and Elli Schulz, all seniors at Bandon High School. The court is chaperoned once again by former Cranberry Festival princess Kenzie Basey. The celebreation will be a modified version this year with most activities presented in a virtual format. LaPlante and Elli Schulz. The Blessing of the Harvest will be a closed event, with the Cranberry Court and local clergy attending (videoed). The judging of the court’s talent and platforms will be a closed event but videoed for all to enjoy. The Coronation of the 2020 Cranberry Queen will be done at an undisclosed location, again videoed and available to the public.
also include asking the community to share their memories of Cranberry’s Past. The museum will have past Cranberry Queens’ dresses on display. This year, the weekend of the traditional festival — Sept. 12 and 13 — there will be free admission to the museum, sponsored by Doug and Sharon Ward Moy. Sharon was the Cranberry Queen of 1965.
Cranberry’s Past History Display
The Cranberry Kitchen will be a virtual event, run on Facebook-Cranberry Festival page, inviting the public to create a cranberry “dish” and post on the Cranberry Kitchen event page. It will begin on Sept. 10 and run until about Sept. 25.
The Bandon Historical Society Museum will present a virtual Cranberry’s Past celebration featuring memories of past festivals. This will be shown on the museum’s Facebook page, along with a page under the Cranberry Festival Facebook page. It will

Note: Though previously discussed and considered, there will be no Cranberry Festival Parade, no Cranberry Bowl football game and no Cranberry Marketplace.
Questions and Answers about city ballot Measures 6-179 (sewer) and 6-180 (water) in September Special Election: The City of Bandon provides drinking water and wastewater service to businesses and residents of the city. The city is proposing to increase monthly base water rates by $8 and base sewer rates by $7 for city residents. Rates for out-of-town residents would increase by $11 each for water and sewer. Bandon’s water and sewer utilities must meet state and federal requirements for safe drinking water, and to protect water quality in the CoquilleRiver estuary. These requirements can and sometime do change. The City needs to operate and maintain the water and sewer plants along with miles of water and sewer pipes. Q: Why is the city asking for water and sewer rate increases? A: Currently water and sewer rates don’t cover the full cost of operating those utilities. Water revenue is short by $218.000, and sewer revenue is short by $169,000. The last rate increase for water operations was in 2006, sewer was in 2012. Like everything else costs go up with inflation. As the plants age, more money needs to go into maintenance. Q: Can’t the city use the general fund to cover the gaps? A: Bandon has the lowest permanent tax rate of any city in Oregon that has a population of over 750 people. Our general fund also receives some lodging and utility taxes, but the amounts are limited. If we use general fund dollars to subsidize the utilities, it will negatively impact public safety. Q: What other expenses does the general fund cover? A: Our six-person police department is funded almost entirely out of the general fund, and accounts for 40% of general fund spending. The next largest category is administration at 16%. Our police department just recently became staffed to the point where the city can provide 24-hour coverage. Q: Didn’t voters approve a rate increase a few years ago? A: An increase to the base water rate was approved in 2016. However, that increase can be used only for capital projects, not operations. Q: How many employees operate the plants? A: There are two employees that operate each plant. At least one needs to be available 24/7. In addition, public works staff maintains the distribution and collection systems, and other Please see Q&A, Page B2
Bandon Mayor Mary Schamehorn files for re-election Bandon Western World
BANDON — “I don’t generally send out a press release, but maybe it is time to tell you what I have been doing for the last 16 years while serving as your mayor,” said Mayor Mary Schamehorn, who filed for re-election this week. “I served on the council from 1977 until 1986, and then I was off the council for an 18year span before I was elected mayor in 2004. Most people in the people in the community know that the city has been crippled financially by the inability to set our own utility
rates without a vote of the people. That is the number one problem facing our city today,” said Schamehorn. “I pray that the voters will support the two ballot measures coming up for election on Sept. 15. While it does not restore rate-setting authority, it raises the in-city water and sewer rates a total of $15 a month ($7 for sewer and $8 for water), which will help us balance the utility budgets in the hope of making them self-supporting. Rates for users receiving water or sewer service outside the city limits will see each utility increase $11 a month, which is
only fair for the taxpayers of the city. “In addition to my long years of service to the community, as a Bandon native whose grandfather owned the Western World from 1912 to 1962, I am a history buff and have been a member of the Bandon Historical Society board of directors for many years. I have worked side by side with the Port of Bandon, the Bandon Chamber of Commerce, the county commissioners, Fire Chief Lanny Boston and Sgt. Larry Lynch and Chief Bob Webb of the Bandon Police Department. And I have Bandon School
Superintendent Doug Ardiana on speed dial. My support of the business community is well known. I worked hard to facilitate the public/private partnership with Facebook Creamery, which is a tremendous asset to our community. “My long-term plans for both the community center and the Sprague Theater (a gift from the Bandon Lions Club) would be that more local groups could use both facilities. ... and that they could be true community facilities. They are owned by the taxpayers and

Q: Didn’t we just vote on rates? A: No, the ballot measure in March of this year was to give the City Council the authority to set utility rates without a citywide vote, which failed to pass. These measures directly asks voters to approve specific rate increases as provided in the current charter, but don’t give the city rate-setting authority.

Salandro announces candidacy for City Council Bandon Western World BANDON — Patrick Salandro has announced his candidacy for the 2020 elections for Bandon City Council. “I love this town. It’s a unique and beautiful place with history to preserve and a future to keep safe,” Salandro said in a press release. “Bandon needs solutions that work for everyone — today and down the road.” Salandro brings years of experience and working knowledge in supporting community infrastructure and services as a former assistant engineer at West Valley Sanitation District in California. Salandro said he is motivated to stabilize Bandon’s foundering utilities system and to find creative solutions to bolster the
city’s financial health. “I have my priorities set on positive, creative solutions and the real work of building a solid future for Bandon,” he said. Community-minded and valuing educational opportunity, Salandro has most recently worked as a member of the Ocean Crest Elementary School special education team. “Schools give our future citizens opportunity and offer a support network to the families in this area,” he said. “Those are only good things in my opinion. Worth every effort.” Salandro said he is committed to doing the hard work of solving the difficult issues the City of Bandon faces — failing utilities system, revenue shortages, community-minded growth management, and the retention of senior city staff.
“Bandon is a true gem. We need to work together, pull our leadership together, hear the voices of our citizens. We need to get on the right track. I’m also not interested in trying to bash or be overly critical of our current leadership. I believe people serve the City of Bandon in political roles because they want the best for this town. I respect that and it’s a goal I share. “Let’s move forward. I believe we need to stay focused on the tasks we need to accomplish to reach our unified goal — a strong, healthy, thriving City of Bandon. Let’s get to work.” Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020.

“I have three file folders of discussion on this and other issues that date back nearly 20 years, including when she ran against me for mayor in 2006. The City told her over and over again that she needed a business plan. We emphatically told her the City of Bandon would not be building or operating a food hub/organic warehouse, but would be willing to talk to a developer who brought us a proposal for a public-private partnership much like Face Rock Creamery,” Schamehorn said. “And that offer still stands today.” “The turnover in staff has somehow become a campaign issue. It is important to point out that industry-wide, the average stay for a city manager is three to five years. In the last 42 years, Bandon has had five city managers,” Schamehorn said. “In addition to my years of service to the City of Bandon and the Bandon Historical Society, I served twice on the board of Southern Coos Hospital. “I am always willing to listen to both sides, always respond to emails with a real willingness to help, and have made my phone numbers and email address available to my constituents. Whether you live inside or outside the city .... I am always willing to listen. “I hope I can look forward to your vote in November, but even more important I am urging you to support our water and sewer rate increases in the Sept. 15 election,” said Schamehorn.

they need to be utilized (as soon as COVID-19 restrictions are over and it is safe to once again gather). “It is my opponent’s interest in the organic industry that I would like to further address. “One of the last texts she sent me last month, said, ‘Mary I already know you are doing a good job and that’s great. I have an agenda. It is more than the pandemic. It’s about finding new solutions for our town. I believe the organic industry is the very best bet for our future. I can prove it and every time I mention it to you I hear nothing,’ said my opponent.

Referendum Text Section 31 of the City of Coquille Charter of 1967 shall be amended as follows: The existing language of Section 31 of the City of Coquille Charter of 1967 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following text, so that after amendment, Section 31 shall read: Section 31. -Nominations. Any person qualified as provided in Section 12, hereof, may file for candidacy for city office by either of the following methods: (1) Nomination may be made by filing a declaration of candidacy accompanied by a petition containing the signatures of not less than 20 qualified voters in the City. (2) Nomination may be made by filing a declaration of candidacy accompanied by payment of the required fee. The amount of the required fee shall be set by the Council by general ordinance. Forms and procedures related to filing for candidacy shall conform to state law applicable to the election. Ballot Title Caption: Charter amendment allowing nomination by fee in addition to petition. Question: Should the Charter be amended to allow nomination of candidates by paying a fee as an alternative to a petition? Summary: Section 31 of the Coquille City Charter of 1967 currently requires candidates for elected city offices to submit a nominating petition signed by at least twenty electors in order to appear on the ballot. Section 31 also contains a lengthy description of the requirements for nominating petitions, signatures, deadlines and notices. The amendment proposed by this referendum would allow prospective candidates to be nominated by filing a modest fee. The amount of the fee would be set by the City Council and could be changed from time to time. Nomination by petition would remain available as an alternative. The amendment would also shorten and simplify Section 31 by eliminating the detailed requirements for processing petitions and replacing them with the statement that “Forms and procedures related to filing for candidacy shall conform to state law applicable to the election.” State law already provides rules and regulations governing the petition process.

Lakers pull even in series with Blazers LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — The Los Angeles Lakers learned their lesson. Anthony Davis had 31 points and 11 rebounds and the top-seeded Lakers bounced back from an opening loss to rout the Portland Trail Blazers 11188 on Thursday night in Game 2 of the first-round Western Conference playoff series. “Obviously, this is an important game for us,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said. “We have tremendous respect for them. We’re going to have to battle the way we did tonight in every game this series.” Davis scored 28 points in Game 1, but made just 8 of 24 shots. In Game 2, he made 13 of 21. “I just wanted to come out tonight with the mindset tonight to be aggressive and to help my team on both ends of the floor and do whatever I had to do to help the team win,” he said.
LeBron James had 10 points, six rebounds, seven assists and six turnovers for the Lakers. He had 23 points, 17 rebounds and a playoff career-high 16 assists in Game 1. The Trail Blazers stunned the Lakers 100-93 in Game 1, but things went horribly wrong in Game 2. A poor performance got worse when All-Star guard Damian Lillard dislocated the index finger on his left hand in the third quarter. The team said X-rays were negative. “It’s just sore,” Lillard said. “A little bit tender to the touch. Dislocated it. A little bit sore, a little bit swollen. Uncomfortable.” Portland coach Terry Stotts said it’s too early to determine Lillard’s status for Game 3. Lillard was held to 18 points Thursday after ripping the Lakers for 34 in Game 1. Davis scored 21 points in the first half to help the Lakers take a 56-39
lead. The Trail Blazers’ high-powered offense shot 35% in the half. Early in the third quarter, Davis aggressively grabbed a defensive rebound, then fired a long pass to Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for a breakaway jam that gave the Lakers a 63-41 lead. The Lakers continued to pour it on and led 88-58 after three quarters. Los Angeles led by 32 points in the period. It was quite a drop-off for The Trail Blazers, who had been one of the best teams in the bubble. “We didn’t relax, they just went after it harder than we did,” Lillard said. “It was their night. It didn’t help that we didn’t play well on the offensive end.”
TIP-INS Blazers: Shot 40% overall. ... Made just 8 of 29 3-pointers. ... CJ McCollum scored 13 points on 6-for-16 shooting. Lakers: G Rajon Rondo,
listed as questionable as he recovers from right thumb surgery, was inactive. ... Caldwell-Pope scored 16 points. STEPPING UP: The Lakers hounded Lillard and McCollum into making a combined 12 of 30 shots. “You can’t pressure them because they live under the pressure, they succeed under the pressure, they thrive under pressure,” James said. “You can’t have breakdowns. When you have a defensive strategy you have to execute that strategy for 48 minutes, or for the minutes that they’re on the floor. I think we did a great job of that tonight.” JUST DOING HIS JOB: Portland coach Terry Stotts, answering what Lillard was doing in the game late in the third quarter with his team down 30: “He was playing basketball.” UP NEXT: Game 3 is Saturday.
Penske will give command to start engines for Indy 500 NDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Roger Penske will give the command to start the engines for the Indianapolis 500. Penske will take over a role held by the late Tony Hulman or the Hulman-George family for decades. Penske in January became the fourth owner of Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The track on Friday confirmed to The Associated Press that it will be Penske giving the command. Speedway officials also confirmed the Andretti family will be honored before Marco Andretti leads the field to green. Mario Andretti, the 1969 winner of the race, drives the IndyCar two-seater for
the series before events and will be joined by son, Michael, for the ride. Marco Andretti is the first Andretti on the pole for the Indy 500 since Mario Andretti in 1987. The two-seater ride for Mario and Michael will mark the first time three generations of the racing family will be on track together at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. “I’m one of the few that can say I’ve been teammates with both my father and my son, and now to have the opportunity for all three of us to be on track together, on race day at IMS, is really special,” Michael Andretti said. “Dad and I are really excited to do this together, but we’re
still fighting about who’s going to drive.”
Carb Day INDIANAPOLIS — It was the saddest Carb Day in Indianapolis 500 history. The Snake Pit sat silent in the empty infield, no sign of any rowdy revelers who turn an important day at the track into Indiana’s biggest party. The annual “Carburetion Day” began as a critical on-track session of Indy 500 prep as teams adjusted the carburetors of their gasoline-powered engines. There hasn’t been a carburetor on an Indy car since 1963, but Carb Day is part of Indy 500 lore and so it stays. The current version of Carb Day is the final prac-
tice session before Sunday’s race, but it has grown into a full-day celebration. Practice was just an appetizer to always thrilling Freedom 100 Indy Lights race, the popular pit crew competition and driver interviews for those roaming the packed midway. In 2020, Carb Day was little more than a two-hour Friday practice session three months after the usual Memorial Day holiday weekend so familiar to the race. Spectators are not permitted at Indianapolis Motor Speedway this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, so all the ancillary fluff that patrons have participated in over several generations has been stripped from the event.

Mickelson to make debut on PGA Tour Champions NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Phil Mickelson always planned to be competing in the Midwest next week, just not in Missouri. And not as a rookie on the PGA Tour Champions. Mickelson faced elimination from the FedEx Cup postseason on Friday when he missed the cut at The Northern Trust. He started at No. 67 in the FedEx Cup, and he was all but assured of being outside the top 70 who advance to the BMW Championship next week south of Chicago. Instead, Mickelson said he would make his debut on the 50-and-older circuit — Mickelson turned 50 in June — at the Charles Schwab Series at Ozarks National. The 54-hole event starts Monday. “I feel like I’ve been playing well at home,”
Mickelson said after his 3-under 68. “I was excited to play. I want to play. That’ll give me a chance to play three competitive rounds.” Mickelson was the only player to reach the BMW Championship — the penultimate playoff event — every year since the FedEx Cup began in 2007. This was his lowest starting position, and he didn’t help the cause by opening with a 74 on the TPC Boston on Thursday. “I don’t know what to say about the season,” he said. “It’s been very up and down, a lot of missed cuts that is unusual for me. I haven’t won. I’m disappointed I’m not in the BMW. I feel like I’m playing well and yesterday was really a poor start to the tournament. I would have liked to have continued in the playoffs.”

Nikki Wright wins Patty J. Barton Memorial Scholarship The World NORTH BEND — The Coos Bay Area Zonta Service Foundation is proud to announce the first Patty J. Barton Memorial Scholarship is awarded to Nikki Wright of Coos Bay. This is a $20,000 renewable award to be issued over qualifying terms as the requirements of performance are met. Barton was a long time Zonta member with a passion for women choosing to face their life’s challenges by improving their status through education. Wright exemplifies these qualities and goals. Patty’s husband, Jon Barton, with abundant community support, began the scholarship fund from donations upon Patty’s death in 2018. “Through club fundraising efforts, we have been able to grow and now use the funds to honor Patty with this award that will support Nikki with her education,” said Genelle Hanken of Zonta Club of the Coos Bay Area. Wright grew up in Remote on Highway 42. She graduated from Myrtle Point High School in 2002 and moved to Coos Bay shortly after. Wright is currently employed by the Oregon Judicial Department as a Judicial Assistant to Judge Megan Jacquot. She just completed her seventh year with state courts. In Spring 2020
with the encouragement of her employers, Wright started her college education at Southwestern Oregon Community College. She is pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and plans to graduate in 2024. Her long-term goal is to remain in Coos County helping youth and families. Wright shares her spare time with her husband and daughter camping, jet skiing and following the swim team around the state as her daughter is a competitive swimmer with the Gold Coast Swim Team. The Zonta Foundation received 18 amazing applicants for this scholarship and the decision was difficult, said Shirley MacAdam, the PJB scholarship chair. “It is inspirational to witness the many women in our community pursuing their college educations all over the United States and in a variety of fields,” MacAdam said. “We encourage all of you to keep an eye on our club website every January for the many scholarships we plan to continue to provide.” In Wright’s application she wrote: “I witness families come together and make significant changes to overcome the odds and obstacles to reunite ... I am a small piece in their puzzle, but I want to do more to help.” “It is a joy to offer our support to Nikki Wright on her education
journey and we look forward to watching her many accomplishments and contributions to our community in the years ahead,” MacAdam said.
About Patty Barton Patty Barton was a long-time member of the Zonta Club of the Coos Bay Area. When she died in 2018 while under hospice care, battling cancer and sepsis, a scholarship fund was established in her name. Widowed at 28, Patty was left alone to raise her two daughters, and she worked hard to give them a good life. She loved numbers and was employed as an accountant and bookkeeper for various companies. Patty married Jon Barton in 1990, moving to Coos Bay in 1994. At just over 5 feet tall, friends appreciated her style and generosity, and remember her as a “counselor and supporter, a strong woman with a big heart who reached out to other women to help them improve their lives.” In addition to Zonta membership, Patty served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer for 15 years and served on the board of the Coos County Friends of Public Health. Providing educational opportunities for young women facing challenges as she once did as a single parent was Patty’s passion.
Patti Barton With the support of Jon Barton, the Patty J. Barton Memorial Scholarship has grown from donations following her death. The scholarship fund is administered
by the Coos Bay Area Zonta Service Foundation. Funds are currently raised from designated contributions at the Zonta Annual Celebrity Dinner fundraiser.

The Chamber Minute: You can make a difference
TIMM SLATER Bay Area Chamber of Commerce
As our summer of missing traditions continues, let me share a special story with you. Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw someone moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself thinking of one who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the
young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer, he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?” Came the reply, “Throwing starfish into the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in they’ll die.” “But young man, don’t you
realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!” The young man listened politely. Then bent down, picked up another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves. “I made a difference for that one!” What that young man’s actions represent is the something that is special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. We have to be aware of our gift
and be willing to use it. And that’s our challenge. Faced with adversity, it’s our time to shine, folks! And if we throw our “stars” wisely and well, I have no doubt that our Oregon Coast will have an outstanding future. Remember our Business is Helping your Business. And like us on Facebook.

Dancers study at intensive workshop in Arizona The World COOS BAY — Dance Umbrella for South Coast Oregon (DUSCO) granted two dancers a scholarship this year for them to study at intensive dance workshops during the summer, one via Zoom, the other in person and via Zoom. “Each year we offer scholarships to Southern Coast Oregon dancers,” said Audra Geving, DUSCO board member. “These two Pacific School of Dance dancers submitted an application and were selected by the DUSCO board. The two dancers who studied at the intensive this summer include: Edie Clarke attended the Utah Ballet Summer Intensive via Zoom for their four week program. There around 20 dancers. She had seven teachers throughout the intensive but she didn’t have a favorite because each brought something
different to the table. After being isolated at home for so long, her Zoom classes allowed her to connect with people. There was the occasional challenge with dancing in small spaces, unfamiliar surfaces, and technical difficulties. She attended the intensive last summer in person and would recommend the program to others whether it be in person or via Zoom. Clarke is 18 years old and graduated from Marshfield High School this year. She will be attending University of Utah to double major in ballet and kinesiology. Amelia Webster attended Ballet Arizona’s summer intensive for two weeks. In the upper division of the intensive there were four levels with a 15-person limit to each class. There were also Zoom classes at the end of the day. Those classes were
normally a seminar or a conditioning class of some kind. Webster studied with 11 different teachers with her favorites being Gillmer Duran and Alecia Good-Boresow who was a guest teacher from Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet. She liked the levels she was placed in as they pushed her to help her grow as a dancer but she did not feel overwelmed. Due to the pandemic she had to wear masks in all common areas, stand 6 feet apart at all times and each level was in the same studio for the whole session. She would recommend this summer program, even for someone who is maybe a little nervous about going away for an intensive. Ballet Arizona has an all-year dance program for all ages as well. Webster is 14 years old and going to be a sophomore and Marshfield High School.

Oregon Cultural Trust provides grants The World
SALEM — Cultural organizations across Oregon — including two on the South Coast — will receive more than $2.7 million in funding from the Oregon Cultural Trust in FY2021 thanks to the generosity of citizens who invested in the state’s cultural tax credit. The awards include a total of $676,760 to the Cultural Trust’s five statewide partners (Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Heritage Commission, Oregon Humanities, Oregon Historical Society and the State Historic Preservation Office); $676,760 to 45 County and Tribal Cultural Coalitions — for regranting in their communities; and $1,353,520 in competitive Cultural Development Program awards to 78 cultural organizations serving most geographic regions of the state. “We are incredibly grateful to the loyalty of our donors for their steadfast support of culture during very challenging times,” said Chuck Sams III, chair of the Cultural Trust board. “Our collective culture is the glue that binds us together as Oregonians, especially during difficult times. Arts and culture cross all boundaries and inspire us to celebrate our diversity and resilience as a people.” The amount of overall grant awards is virtually even with FY2020, he added, due to a slight increase in fiscal year donations coupled with a slight decrease in interest earnings on the permanent fund. “Although the value of the permanent fund has increased to $31 million, market fluctuations during the health crisis led to a small decrease in interest earnings,” said Brian Rogers, the Cultural Trust’s executive director.
“Thankfully our donors rallied this spring prior to the end of the fiscal year to ensure our support of Oregon’s cultural community remained strong at a time when they need it the most due to losses suffered during the COVID-19 health crisis.” Many of the funded projects support engagement efforts during social distancing. Highlights of grant projects funded include: • The preservation and sharing of Hawaiian traditional cultural practices online and in person by Kapi Oanuenue in Ashland; • The development of an interactive digital media channel for nonprofits and independent mediamakers by Open Signal in Portland; • A series of cultural programs to reengage the community after months of COVID shutdown by the Tower Theatre Foundation in Bend; • The production of “From the Streets to the Symphony,” a documentary about the collaborative composition of new music by houseless young filmmakers and Oregon Symphony creative chair Gabriel Kahane by Outside the Frame in Portland; • The restoration of Native American access to First Foods and other cultural plants of significance in Southwestern Oregon by the Indigenous Gardens Network at Southern Oregon University in Ashland; • The development of the first Oregon Online African American Museum by Oregon Black Pioneers in Salem; and • Access to media arts for historically underserved Black students to exercise their imaginations, develop a voice and prepare stories for public dissemination through the Journalistic
Learning Initiative in Eugene. The 78 Cultural Development Grants include 44 grant awards outside of Portland and first-time awards (marked with *) to 14 organizations, 57 percent of which are also located outside the Portland Metro area. The grant awards range from $5,000 to $36,201 with an average grant award of $16,849. Sixty-three percent of the eligible applications were funded. Cultural Development Program awards fund projects that address access, capacity, creativity and preservation. Applications were reviewed and scored by peer panels; final award amounts were determined and approved by the Cultural Trust Board of Directors at its Aug. 6 meeting. Close to half of the grants in this program were awarded to organizations outside of the Portland Metro area; overall more than 60 percent of Cultural Trust funding (including awards to County and Tribal Coalitions) is awarded outside of the Portland Metro area. Cultural Development Grants in the South Coast Region were awarded to: Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians, Coos Bay: $36,124 — to support the recovery, preservation and sharing of artifacts and documents celebrating and documenting the Tribe’s heritage and history. Little Theatre on the Bay, North Bend: $14,820 — to support the expansion and enhancement of North Bend’s historic Liberty Theatre to allow for a greater range of performances and audience experience.

Hike Sunset Bay Trails on Aug. 22 The World
COOS BAY — The South Coast Striders will hike from Sunset Bay to Cape Arago on Saturday, Aug. 22. The hike has three options and requires pre-registration by visiting this link: http://canopyweb. com/forms/index.html The hike is limited to 15 people, but if demand is high (and there are enough leaders), start times can be staggered. Also, there is a short hike option that goes from Sunset Bay to Shore Acres and back. To volunteer to lead, send an email to hikes@ coostrails.com. Hike description: The whole hike goes from Sunset Bay day use area, along the coast through Shore Acres up to the Simpson Reef Overlook. From there the group crosses the road and follows a trail that
meets the pack trail. The hike will go up (and down, then up again) the pack trail and eventually turn onto the perimeter trail, which heads back toward Shore Acres. From Shore Acres hikers will take a shorter route back to Sunset Bay. The total hike is 8.5 miles. The highest elevation is 570 feet, but because of the up and down, there is 1,000 feet of climbing. Short hike — This will just go to Shore Acres and back. It will be under four miles, all pretty level. A volunteer is needed to lead the short hike, or hikers will need to return on their own. Another option is to hike as far as Simpson Reef and then return. This will be almost 8 miles, but it’s all level. Hikers will be on their own for the return. New hike guidelines 1. Hike groups will be
limited to 15 people. 2. Hikers will be asked to complete a registration form so that organizers can control the number. 3. Hikers will be asked to maintain social distance (as much as 10-12 feet) on the trail 4. Hikers will be asked to have face covering (like a bandana) that can be pulled up at tight spots on the trail 5. Hikers should step off the trail to let others pass The trail from Sunset Bay to Simpson Reef Overlook was pretty crowded during the prehike, so these guidelines will be important, organizers said. Other information The restrooms at the Sunset Bay day use area are closed, but the restrooms at the beach (just to the north) are open, so stop there on the way in. There are restrooms at
Shore Acres (at about the 2.2 and 7 mile points of the hikes). For those on the long hike, the group will be stopping for lunch at the junction with the perimeter trail. Organizers suggest that hikers might want to snack at the Simpson Reef Overlook, because lunch will be later than usual. Location and time Meet 9:30 a.m. at Sunset Bay day use parking lot, near the volleyball courts and restrooms (closed) at south end of Sunset Bay. The short version of the hike will end before noon (unless you spend time in the gardens), and the long version at 2:30 p.m. Driving directions: From U.S. Highway 101 in downtown Coos Bay follow the signs 12.3 miles through Charleston to Sunset Bay State Park. Park in the day use parking lot.

This week in Coos County history: August 12-15 100 YEARS — 1920 Teachers needed county schools Twenty-five are yet to be engaged Fall term due to open soon and the shortage of teachers is seriously felt in county There is a serious shortage of teachers for the Coos county schools. There are 98 outside schools to be supplied and of this number 25 are not yet filled and the fall term will start soon. County Superintendent Mulkey was here today from Coquille. He says he is using every means possible to find teachers, but that the shortage is serious. The salaries are better this year than last, which should be some inducement. The vacancies are in schools where the salary ranges from $1000 to $1350 for the year. The principalship of the new consolidated high school at Aarago is still open. Among some of the other schools which have not yet been supplied are Flagstaff, McKinley, Dora, Fairview, Gravel Ford, Shilo, Pleasant Hill, Big Creek and Rock Creek.
Many dead crabs found at Bandon Worked up by the tide on mudflats of city Supposed that blasting in the channel and on the bar has caused them to die An enormous amount of dead crabs are being washed up on the mud flats at Bandon and under the wharf of the city. These crabs have been carried in by the tide in great quantities. The government engineers have been working on the channel and blasting out rock near the bar, and it is supposed that this blasting is what killed the crabs. Recently there was a report of quite a number of dead fish coming ashore at another point on the coast near Bandon and it is suggested that the fish might also have been killed by the blasting and carried out over the bar and washed up at the other point. Some are inclined to dispute the idea that the crabs were killed by the blasting. They maintain that many of the crabs are not quite dead when washed up and think that they are suffering from some disease which is killing them. Others insist, however, that the blasting is killing the crabs. At any rate they are surely being lost in great numbers and it is possible that so many dying may have an effect on the future supply for a season or so at least.
Horse races are feature of fair Some five events promised for Myrtle Point this year Will be held three afternoons during the coming fair week — horses coming from the north MYRTLE POINT — One of the big features of the Coo sand Curry county fair this year will be the horse races which will be held on the afternoons of September 16, 17 and 18. Some good horses have already been secured. There will be entries from this part of the state and also from the north. One prominent horse owner of Portland has insisted that his stables will be represented by a carload of racers.
Wants county to eliminate wolves Coyotes raising havoc with ranchers L.J. Roberts reports extensive losses of live stock and chickens recently L.J. Roberts, formerly one of the owners of the Myrtle Point Enterprise, but for the last eight years a rancher and fruit grower of the Middle Fork, was here today marketing his crops. He reports
that during the last few months, a flock of coyotes have been raising havoc with the claves, hogs, sheep and chickens of the ranchers in that section. The coyotes have become an absolute pest, and aside from the losses which the ranchers sustain they are also making inroads on the deer in the woods farther back. It is possible that the increase in the number of wolves farther back has resulted in the elk coming down from the Tioga district near the Coos and Douglas county line. In Curry county, Mr. Roberts says the coyotes were quite a pest a few years ago but that the state and county cooperated and increased the bounty to $75 apiece with the result that hunters found it profitable to hunt them and rid the district of the menace. He wants Coos county to take similar steps.
New garage and repair shop in North Bend Coos Bay Auto Co. installs machinery for modern garage and repair shop Benson & Hampton, two experienced auto men and machinists, have formed the Coos Bay Auto Co. and completed arrangements for opening an up-to-date garage and machine shop at 1921 Sherman avenue, North Bend. Machinery has been installed, and in addition to all regular repair work they are preparing to do brazing and soldering, aluminum and metal. W.R. Medlock, an auto repair man of ten years experience in automobile repairing, will have charge of that department, and auto owners can be assured of satisfactory work that will be guaranteed and at moderate prices. Service, satisfactory work and fair and square treatment of the public will be the motto of the new concern and it is certain they will get their share of the business.
50 YEARS — 1970 North Bend tests determine when sound becomes noise When does a sound become noise? Tourists and sound experts may differ widely in their definitions of noise if tests made Tuesday in North Bend are any indication. Motorists in the city, if they looked quickly in passing, might have seen two men watching a small bottle-shaped device as traffic rushed past on Highway 101. The instrument was a sound level meter, used to measure the volume of sound from any source. Thursday it was aimed directly at trucks and other heavy vehicles that might be violators of what experts term “acceptable sound levels.” The test was prompted by complaints from overnight tourists to motel operators along Sherman Avenue, who said loud truck noises kept them from resting at night. The problem was laid at the doorstep of the North Bend Police Dept. and Chief Tony Zarbano ran across the sound level meter in the course of discussing the noise-making vehicles with trucking interests. Roseburg Lumber Co., whose Douglas Fir Plywood chip trucks pass through Bay Area cities daily, loaned the meter and Bruce Blew, chip truck foreman, to help with the meeting. Blew said the readings were taken to help determine which trucks are offenders so far as the sound level was concerned; also to determine if violations are due to Jacob brakes, loud mufflers, or other reason.
NB fire chief appeals to adults Fear that children will be killed by fire
was expressed today by North Bend Fire Chief Clyde Centers. Centers appealed to “all adults, especially parents, to assist our fire department in the elimination of careless fires by keeping matches and cigarettes away from children and by warning them of the dangers involved.” The North Bend Fire Department has been “plagued with numerous calls during the last 60 days to extinguish fires in grass, brush, stumps and old buildings that have been caused by children playing with matches or smoking,” said Centers. “Many of the fires have occurred in the same neighborhood, just a few days apart.” Centers said Fire Marshal Joe Nagle and firemen on the scene have talked to many children and adults during investigation of the fires, pointing out the danger of the fires to life and property. They asked for assistance in the apprehension and punishment of those involved and cooperation has been good, according to the fire chief. However, fires continue to occur throughout the city as fire danger increases due to warmer weather, lower humidity and dryer brush and grass, the fire chief said in the appeal to adults.
Pryor unanimous Legion choice Coos Bay American Legion Post 17’s Vollstedt Volkswagens landed three players on the Area Four all-star team for the 1970 campaign, including unanimous selection Herb Pryor at pitcher. League coaches made the selection on an all-opponent basis and, with ties included, named 17 players form six of the seven teams to the squad. Co-champions Klamath Falls and Roseburg placed six and five players, respectively, on the mythical team, while catcher Mark Paczesniak and outfielder Brian Flug made up the rest of the Coos Bay contingent. Pryor and first baseman Dave Hummell of Klamath Falls were the squad’s lone unanimous selections while Paczesniak and outfielder Dave Orr of Medford were one point away from being unanimous choices. Honorable mention choices from Coos Bay included shortstop Pat Fraser and outfielder-pitchers Bob Baarstad and Dale Lovering.
Southwestern Oregon preps open grid drills Monday Summer is rapidly approaching its end. At least for about 500 schoolboys who’ll be presenting themselves Monday for the beginning of two weeks of intensive drills preparatory for the opening of the 1970 prep football campaign. Southwestern Oregon’s ten institutions of secondary learning, along with the rest of the state, open their fields for, for the most part, twice-a-day sessions of rigorous training and conditioning and, eventually, the task of learning each school’s various offensive and defensive patterns. No new head coaches are on the scene; all have had their respective baptisms. However, the state’s dean of coaches, Pete Susick of Marshfield, is entering into his 25th year as a head mentor. Another mastermind of lengthy service is Bandon’s Dick Sutherland who is about to embark on his 18th campaign for the Tigers.

hands are rough from years of filleting fish at a local cannery. Her body is used to long days of labor, spending hours on the ocean in a 32-foot salmon boat with her husband. After decades of work in all aspects of the fishing industry, Hampel understands transitions. “We fished for six or seven years,” she said. “That’s when the salmon season went downhill and the government got involved.” That’s also when Hampel’s husband bought a press and began to produce rubber doughnuts, or mud discs, to sell to fishermen for crab pots. Hampel helped run the press as long as she could, but when her husband became too sick to work, she knew she would have to find another job. To remain in the industry, she took a job as bookkeeper for a local fishing outlet in Charleston. Now, with the groundfish industry declared a disaster, Hampel sees an opportunity to help many who have worked alongside her make similar moves to continue earning an income. Hampel has taken a second job as a outreach peer for the Groundfish Disaster Outreach Program, a newly created service to help fishermen and others who want to retrain to find new jobs. “If I thought I could change, say, maybe just six people, I would feel that I had done something,” she said.
Firefighters train for New Carissa rescues In case of disaster: Coos Bay to work with Coast Guard, salvors and hospital Hazards abound for anyone trying to work aboard the tilting hulk of the New Carissa mired off the North Spit. But starting this week, local emergency workers will begin working to ensure if something does go wrong, help won’t be long in coming, by land, sea or air. Beginning today, Coos Bay firefighters will be receiving equipment and undergoing training to prepare for the rescue of an injured person from the wrecked stern section of the ship. Although salvors haven’t settled on a plan for removing the tons of rusting steel, they all agree that working aboard the wreckage will entail a high degree of risk. The owners of the ship are providing the equipment and training to enhance the capability of local agencies to respond to an emergency on board the stern section, which remains mired in the surf off the North Spit where the ship ran aground in February 1999.
CB port new owner of railroad bridge Fix-up: Railroad will be responsible for the structure’s maintenance It’s official. Oregon International Port of Coos Bay district taxpayers own a railbridge, a donation compliments of Union Pacific Railroad. For some, the transfer of the dilapidated Coos Bay Railroad bridge’s title from Union Pacific to the port may be a dubious prize. For others, the title signals an upgrade from serious to fair condition for the struggle to keep a vital transportation link for the area’s industrial business base to the nation. “This is a key link and it’s pretty rusty,” Congressman Peter DeFazio said before he climbed onto the front of a Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad locomotive Monday morning. “Without it, the North Spit becomes a pretty isolated piece of property.” These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.

Study: Seafood production could increase The World
OSU professor joins scientists from several countries looking at sustainability STEVE LUNDENBERG
Oregon State University
CORVALLIS — Policy reforms and technological improvements could drive seafood production upward by as much as 75% over the next three decades, research by Oregon State University and an international collaboration suggests. The findings, published Aug. 19 in Nature, are important because by 2050 the Earth will have an estimated 9.8 billion human mouths to feed, a 2 billion increase in population from 2020. Seafood has the potential to meet much of the increased need for protein and nutrients, researchers say. Marine ecologist Jane Lubchenco, university distinguished professor in the OSU College of Science, joined scientists from the United States, China, Chile, Mexico, Japan, South Africa, Spain, Norway, Argentina and Malaysia in analyzing how much food the ocean could be expected to sustainably produce 30 years from now. Examining the sea’s primary food-producing sectors — wild fisheries and the mariculture of finfish such as tuna and snapper as well as bivalves like clams and oysters – the researchers determined estimates of “sustainable supply curves” that take into consideration ecological, economic, regulatory and technological limitations. Mariculture means cultivating marine organisms for food and other products in coastal seawater environments or the open ocean. The scientists framed those supply curves against future demand scenarios to predict how much food the ocean, which presently accounts for just 17% of the animal production industry, could supply as the global population swells. “As mariculture technology improves and policies surrounding the ocean and its resources are reformed, food from the sea could increase by between 21 million and 44 million metric tons annually,” said Lubchenco, a former administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “Those increases amount to between 12% and 25% of the estimated animal protein increases needed to feed the almost 10 billion people expected to live on the Earth in 2050. Rising incomes and shifts in food preferences will greatly increase demand for nutritious food in the coming decades, and the ocean can be a big part of meeting that demand.”

An aquaculture site in Maine Producing more and more food from landbased crops is challenging because of declining yield rates and competition for land and water, Lubchenco notes, as well as various environmental and health concerns associated with large-scale agriculture. And while land-derived seafood – freshwater aquaculture and inland fisheries — plays an important role in the global food picture, its expansion faces some of the same hurdles and causes some of the same problems. “Land-based sources of fish and other foods are certainly part of the solution, but we show that sustainable food from the sea can play a major role in global food supply and food security as well,” Lubchenco said. “Stories of overfishing, pollution and unsustainable mariculture give the impression that it is impossible to sustainably increase the supply of food from the sea. But unsustainable practices, regulatory barriers and other constraints may be limiting seafood production – meaning shifts in policies and practices could benefit both conservation and food production. We’ve seen, for example, how changes in policy in U.S. fisheries resulted in significantly reducing overfishing and rebuilding wild stocks, thus increasing the abundance of fish in U.S. waters as well as fishery yields.” Lubchenco and colleagues including lead author Christopher Costello of the University of California, Santa Barbara, describe four primary routes to sustainably increasing ocean-based food production: Better management of wild fisheries, which account for 80% of the sea’s meat production; reforms for policies governing mariculture; improvements in feeds used in mariculture; and shifts in demand to drive
increased production from all ocean food sectors. Nutritionally diverse and less environmentally burdensome than land-based food production, seafood is uniquely positioned to help feed the Earth’s growing population, Lubchenco said. And directing resources away from subsidies that enhance fishing capacity toward building institutional and technical capacity for fisheries research, management and enforcement will be a key step. “The potential for increased global production from wild fisheries hinges on maintaining fish populations near their most productive levels,” Lubchenco said. “For overfished stocks, that means adopting or improving management practices that prevent overfishing and allow depleted stocks to rebuild.” Seventy-five percent of mariculture production requires some feed inputs, like fishmeal and fish oil, derived from wild forage fisheries. But alternatives like terrestrial plant- or animal-based proteins, seafood processing waste, microbial ingredients, insects, algae and genetically modified plants are in the works – innovations that could decouple mariculture from wild fisheries. And the largest potential for expansion of food from the sea will come from the farming of bivalves. “We have shown that the sea can be a much larger contributor to sustainable food production than is currently the case, via a collection of plausible and actionable mechanisms,” Lubchenco said. Supporting the research were SYSTEMIQ; the World Resources Institute; the David and Lucile Packard Foundation; the European Research Council; CONICYT-BASAL 0002; and GAIN-Xunta de Galicia.
