Council considers homeless campground ZACK DEMARS The World
COOS BAY — Coos Bay city officials may soon move forward with a plan to give some individuals experiencing homelessness a place to get back on their feet. At a city council work session Tuesday, leaders from the Nancy Devereux Center shared a proposal they say could be the next step in helping the city’s homeless residents: A staffed, referral-only community camp-
ground. The proposal asks the city council to allow the center to use a piece of city property for the campground, as well as set up water, electricity and possibly sewer service to the site. Operations would start with 12 managed campsites, and increase every three months, if successful, to up to 72 campsites at most. “We would provide 24-7 on-site security. Our admission would only be through the Devereux Center, with refer-
rals from law enforcement and community partners,” said Tara Johnson, the center’s director. “We would provide on-site case management, and our clients would be required to participate in that case management.” After-hours admission wouldn’t be allowed, and residents would be required to commit to community expectations like remaining nonviolent and a prohibition on drugs and alcohol.

COOS BAY — The announcement in a lobby of Bay Area Hospital was long awaited, and met with applause Tuesday afternoon. “We have COVID vaccine here at Bay Area Hospital,” hospital CEO Brian Moore told a masked and socially distanced crowd of hospital staff. After a countdown by the group, it was official: The hospital’s COVID-19 vaccination clinic was open. Moments later, nurses stationed around the room began preparing doses of the vaccine from red-topped vials and administering them to hospital employees in freshly opened needles.

said Steve Wilson, a registered nurse at the hospital who was
tasked to set up the clinic. “We’ve finally been given the advantage.” The shots administered Tuesday were the first of the 1,300 doses of the Moderna vaccine the hospital had received the day before, reserved for hospital employees and other front-line health care workers in the region. Sandra Lucatero, a charge nurse in the hospital’s emergency room, received one of those first shots. “It’s a day to help protect family, and the community,” Lucatero said. Often in contact with COVID-19 patients, Lucatero said she worried about how her job could impact her family if she got the virus. Please see Vaccination, Page A6
One voice is trying to change the world By David Rupkalvis The World
BROOKINGS - Jessica Garcia’s life changed forever six years ago when she was violently sexually assaulted in her own home. After surviving the attack, she quickly realized the worst of it wasn’t over when she tried to go to the hospital. What followed was an ordeal Garcia believes no one should have to endure. So, she’s trying
to change it. And she just might succeed. Garcia has already made big strides thanks to a partnership with State Rep. David Brock Smith’s office. In 2019, House Bill 2375 passed the legislature and was signed into law by Gov. Kate Smith. The law requires district attorneys and hospitals to have a plan to treat sexual assault survivors or a plan to quickly transfer them to a facility that does.
Garcia pushed for the law because she felt the way she was treated after her rape was an ordeal no one should have to experience. To understand, one has to go back to 2014. Garcia remembers meeting a man at a local business and agreeing to have a drink with him. After one glass of wine, the two went to her house. While things were great at first, the man, Lorenzo Ignacio King, quickly changed and violently

attacked and assaulted Garcia for hours. Once he left, Garcia was like many assault survivors. “After I was assaulted, first, I didn’t want anybody to know,” she said. “I was embarrassed. When I went to the hospital, I didn’t want anybody to know. At first, I wanted to say my ribs were broken.” A nurse at the hospital knew differently after seeing obvious

POWERS — After a turn of events nearly identical to what took place in January, the Powers police department is staffed once again. On Monday, the city council approved a contract appointing Rhett Davis as the city’s interim, part-time police chief. Davis held the same role earlier in the year before the city council hired Kevin Macho, the city’s most recent permanent chief who resigned from the role in October after just seven months on the job. The contract was the only agenda item during a special city council meeting held Monday. A motion made by Wanda Blanton and seconded by Jim Clauson to approve the contract was approved by the council 4-2. The appointment puts an officer in the department for the first time since Macho's departure. Without a chief — the department’s only full-time officer — the city’s law enforcement has been left to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, at least 30 minutes away. Davis has had a long history with the department. He was the city’s police chief between 1998 and 2004, and he was rehired in 2007, continuing with the department until 2018. Then, in January of this year, Davis took over as interim chief after then-chief Robert Baker’s firing by the city council. Once the city hired Macho as chief, Davis continued working in the department as a part-time reserve officer “He wants to be retired, but he’s offered to help,” said Mayor Robert Kohn in an interview Monday. “He’s been kind enough to keep helping the city out.” His newly approved contract is for $31 an hour at 20 hours per week, and expires July 7, 2021. City leaders hope hiring Davis will give the city some public safety coverage while they work to hire a permanent chief. “We’re certainly looking for someone that’s going to stick

Cases continue as vaccine trickles in The World
As the South Coast saw its first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine this week, it also saw more cases of the virus. In Coos Bay, the outbreak at the Life Care Center skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility has increased to a total of 43 individuals. One person at that facility has died with the virus, health officials reported Wednesday. This week, due to holiday publication schedules and the timing of state data releases, The World’s weekly COVID-19 update relies on data reported
between Monday and Wednesday. Statewide, the Oregon Health Authority reported 2,215 new cases of the virus during that timeframe, and 56 additional virus-related deaths, bringing the state’s death toll to 1,403 as of Wednesday. Over that same time period, Coos County reported 18 new cases of the virus. Curry County has reported an additional seven cases in the county, and Douglas County has reported 12 more. On Tuesday, the state reported that a 50-year-old Curry County resident died Dec. 21 at Southern Coos
Hospital & Health Center in Bandon. He tested positive for the virus Dec. 11 and had underlying conditions. A 90-year-old woman died in Douglas County on Dec. 18 after testing positive for the virus Nov. 21, health officials reported Monday. She was the 37th county resident to die with the virus. Across the South Coast, the Brookings-Harbor ZIP code saw one of the largest percentage increases in cases over the past week, reporting 23 new cases for the week ending Dec. 20, bringing its total to 184. Coquille reported 5 new
cases for a total of 53, and the Bandon ZIP code area reported 4 for a total of 37. The Coos Bay ZIP code still had the greatest increase, with 33 cases bringing its total to 328. An additional 10 cases in the North Bend ZIP code area brought it to 150 since the pandemic began. According to the state’s weekly COVID-19 report released Wednesday, the daily cases reported statewide decreased slightly during the week of Dec. 14 compared to the previous week. That was the second consecutive week of declining cases, according to OHA.
Hospitalizations were down during that week, too, an 11% declining bringing the state’s total to 437 in the hospital. It was, however, the deadliest week of the pandemic: There were 186 COVID-19 related deaths, according to OHA. Still, the tide began to turn in the fight against the virus this week, hospital staff said Tuesday as the South Coast saw its first doses of COVID-19 vaccines. “This week, we began administering vaccinations to long-term care residents and staff – finally putting us in a position of offense
for our most hard-hit Oregonians,” Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said Tuesday. “It feels really good that we are now able to start these vaccinations, with the hope that these folks can reunite with their families once again and feel safe from the virus soon.” By Wednesday, the state reported that 49 people in Coos County had received the first dose of the vaccine largely limited to frontline healthcare workers. Statewide, just over 10,400 people had received a dose. The state expects to receive just under 80,500 additional doses during the week of Dec. 27.
right. “I trust our city staff, more than I trust any of the other players,” Marler said. “If staff says they want to do this, and have the ability and the wherewithal to take this on, I trust them that they would be honest with us and say, ‘Yes we can do this,’ and they meet it.” Councilor Stephanie Kilmer was cautious to agree, saying she wanted to know more about how much it would cost the city to run the collections and treatment systems effectively. “I am torn, I really am, quite honestly,” Kilmer said. “But that’s because I like to see numbers. I like assurances that if we’re going to take this on, that all of a sudden the boogeyman isn’t going to come out at the point that we have made this decision to change, and all the sudden it’s going to cost us another half a million dollars.” She noted that Jacobs may have had some legitimate reasons for the increases it asked for in management fees, and the city should be cautious about those costs, as they’d likely be passed on to city rate payers. Marler agreed with her comments in part, saying he trusts city staff enough with their cost assessment. “I’m kind of like Stephanie, though I’m not asking show me the numbers, I’m
just saying give me some assurance, as staff, that you’re willing and able to do this and it’s not going to cost us more money,” Marler said. If the city does completely leave its contract with Jacobs, it’d be at least the third city in Oregon to do so in recent years, Craddock told the council. Council members didn’t come to any decisions Tuesday, but Craddock indicated that the topic
would reappear early in the new year, with more information for councilors about the costs of each option. “I think the difference is we know the public employees with the required benefits of the state generally are more expensive,” Craddock said. “I think the difference is we’re (city staff) not feeding a corporation, and there’s not a management fee or a profit margin.”
CB leans toward total wastewater takeover ZACK DEMARS The World
COOS BAY — More changes could be in store for the management of Coos Bay’s wastewater collection and treatment systems. In a work session Tuesday night, the city council considered options for the future of an agreement with Jacobs, the contractor who currently operates both the collection and treatments portions of the city’s wastewater system. The discussion comes after the city council approved an agreement with the company to an increase in the city’s management fees. City Manager Roger Craddock said Tuesday Jacobs’ representatives hadn’t yet signed that contract, which had been under negotiation for months after Jacobs requested significant cost increases and city staff raised concerns about the quality of contractor’s work. Still, the city has to decide what to do next — the city council directed city staff earlier this month to prepare a plan to take over the operation of the wastewater collection system from Jacobs. The recently approved agreement leaves the door open for the city to exit the contract. “Council has at least three options to consider for the next fiscal year,” Public Works Director Jim Hossley told the council. First, the city could negotiate another agreement with Jacobs for the contractor to operate just the

around for a little while, and recognize our budget constraints,” Kohn said. For several months, the city’s been working with Prothman, a recruitment firm, to recruit and screen possible candidates for the position. Out of twelve applicants, three were considered qualified by the firm, including one who is “well qualified,” Kohn said. Council members had a list of qualities they wanted to see in a possible chief, including law enforcement experience in a small town. The city council also met Monday in an executive session to discuss the candidates, according to Kohn. He said later in the public meeting that council intends to bring at least one of the candidates to the city for an interview. “If we agree with Prothman and their recommendation, we’d invite (the candidates) up for an interview,” Kohn said, adding that could occur in the next several weeks. Looking forward, Kohn hopes the chief who is eventually selected from the process sticks with the department to give it some stability. Once a chief is in place, the city can hire reserve officers to provide additional policing support when necessary. “One or two reserves helps the guy at least get a day off every once in a while,” Kohn said.

Second, the city could take that same job out to bid, putting a call out for other contractors to staff and maintain the wastewater plants. Or, Hossley said the city could take over the whole thing, leaving Jacobs behind and operating both the collection system and treatment system itself. “The city has taken drastic measures to get Jacobs to perform their contractual obligations,” Hossley said. “We’ve performed third-party audits at the city’s expense, we’ve issued several notices of breach letters, hired consultants to prepare transition plans and explore the city’s options and, lastly, council made the decision to have us self-perform the collection system mainte
nance.” Council members expressed an interest in seeing more data about how a total takeover might work, but most seemed inclined toward the option of a total takeover. “I personally believe that we should take over the whole operation,” Mayor Joe Benetti said. “I haven’t been happy with Jacobs, and I don’t think we’re going to be happy with Jacobs, and I think we’re going to be in a constant battle. I think that we just need to make the decision now.” Councilors Drew Farmer and Carmen Matthews agreed, saying expectations would be better met and the system would be better maintained if the city ran it all. For councilor Phil Marler, the question came down to trusting that city staff could do the job

I vow to listen to our readers By David Rupkalvis The World
I learned an important lesson this week. As journalists, whether working in small communities like Coos Bay or for major publications around the country, we often feel like we know what’s best for our readers. I myself have said several times through the years that we report on something because our readers “need to know” about it. There is some truth to that in some cases, but I admit we often fall short when it comes to finding out what our readers actually want to read. Every year at community newspapers across the country, editors will sit down with their staff, or sometimes on their own, and come up with their top stories of the year. I have personally done it more than a dozen times. Traditionally, I will just think back over the year and decide what stories I believe are the biggest. In some years, it’s easy. I have covered several stories that are THE story of the year regardless of what else happens. In 2018, the shooting at Santa Fe High School in Texas was one example. But one thing I have never done before this week was see what the readers actually look at. Being new to Coos Bay, and Brookings and Crescent City, California where I also oversee papers, I checked the analytics on our website to see what stories readers were most drawn to. The result was surprising to me. In 2020, I would venture to say almost every newspaper across the country will have the same No. 1 story – COVID 19. In the three communities I mentioned above, I would have expected the same. In two of them, Coos Bay and Brookings, a COVID story was No. 1. In Brookings, the top three were all COVID related. But in Crescent City, the first COVID story didn’t show up until No. 6. What that showed me is I really need to learn a lot more about the communities I am tasked with reporting on. It is real easy in this business, especially if you’ve done it for a while, to get caught up in telling the readers what they need to know. Often, that is based on what you think is important. I’ve seen that in Texas, Arizona and North Dakota as reporters flex their muscles and report on what they want. I have coached several dozen young reporters through the years. I remember one who was tasked to cover a city council meeting.
GUEST OPINION
David Rupkalvis
Executive Editor
I went with him to help out. At the meeting, an issue came up and more than 10 people spoke out against it. The council then voted in favor. When this reporter wrote his story, that issue wasn’t even mentioned. When I asked him why, his response was simple – I didn’t think it was important. Unfortunately, that’s a common thought process in journalism. And it’s one I hope to change in Coos Bay. Seeing the stories that drew attention from our readers was eye-opening. The top story of the year in The World, a story about false positive COVID tests, was seen by 57,000 people. That’s more than every person in Coos Bay and North Bend combined. The No. 2 story was seen by 26,000 people. So, it’s clear that not just COVID, but the controversy around it, was important to readers of The World. In Brookings, traditional COVID stories were the top three and almost half of the top 20. The readers there seem less interested in the controversy than straight reporting. In Crescent City, COVID wasn’t one of the hot topics of the year. The readers there were much more interested in fires and police activity. As I move forward in Coos Bay and the Oregon coast, I vow to pay a lot more attention to what you, the readers, want to see. It will be a challenge, I admit that. Like everyone, I have issues and stories that interest me personally, and when reporting, it is natural to gravitate to those stories. But in 2021, I will pay a lot more attention to things outside my interests and outside my comfort zone. In doing so, I hope our newspapers have the types of reporting you want to see. I hope everyone has a safe and happy new year. Here’s to hoping the problems and challenges of 2020 are ones we can all leave behind soon.
At-risk populations need to be priority beyond vaccine By Patrick J. Kennedy An end to the pandemic is finally in sight. Both Pfizer and Moderna reported that their vaccine candidates are 95 percent effective, and subsequently received emergency use authorization from the FDA. Prioritizing the delivery of vaccines to people most at risk -including those with underlying illnesses and those who live in communities disproportionately impacted by the virus -- is the right thing to do. Chronically ill patients are six times more likely to be hospitalized and 12 times more likely to die following infection, compared to their otherwise healthy peers. Meanwhile, hospitalization rates among African Americans and Hispanic/ Latino individuals were 4.7 times the rate of Caucasian individuals; and the death rate of those with intellectual disabilities is roughly twice that of the general population. Policymakers’ recognition that patients facing the most risk deserve early access to the vaccine is worth applauding. But inexplicably, an increasing number of policymakers also seem comfortable with the exact opposite approach for other critical medicines. Among both Republicans and Democrats, there’s growing interest in the use of “quality-adjusted life years,” or QALYs, to “value” medicines. QALY-based value assessments are discriminatory,
especially to elderly and those living with disabilities. Here’s how the QALY approach works: If a treatment provides a patient with an additional life-year of “perfect health,” it is awarded one QALY. If a treatment extends a patient’s lifespan, but fails to return them to perfect health, it only receives a fraction of a QALY. The more QALYs a drug provides, the more “valuable” it is. The Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, or ICER, has long urged policymakers and insurers to rely on QALY analyses when deciding how much to pay for new drugs. The result is as heartless as one might expect. Suppose a patient suffers from a neurological disorder that produces a range of symptoms from blindness to partial paralysis. Now, let’s suppose the FDA approves a new treatment that restores the patient’s vision, but does little to address their mobility issues. For ICER, this hypothetical breakthrough drug would never yield a “full” QALY, as it wouldn’t restore the patient to “perfect health.” Despite greatly improving the patient’s condition, the drug may only be deemed worthy of half a QALY, thus insurers would be urged not to cover it because it’s not considered cost-effective by ICER’s standards. Cost-effectiveness evaluations inevitably and systematically
discriminate against those living with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and mental illness -- those Americans for whom a return to “perfect” health is impossible. If ICER’s valuation methods continue to gain clout, vulnerable groups may find that the medication upon which they once relied is no longer covered by insurance. Meanwhile, the prospect of advancing innovative new treatments that benefit Americans with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and mental illness will become bleaker. Three decades ago, Oregon tried to employ such discriminatory metrics in a public insurance program, but a legal challenge ultimately found them in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Unfortunately, QALYs are once again being considered by insurers, state-run Medicaid programs, and policymakers with the aim of reducing healthcare spending. While this goal is understandable, the target is off base. The incoming administration has a chance to put an end to QALYs. Vulnerable Americans desperately need our help. We cannot let them down. Patrick J. Kennedy, a former Democratic U.S. representative, was lead author of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. He served on the President’s Commission on Combating Drug Addiction and the Opioid Crisis. This piece originally ran in the Boston Herald.
private sector innovation has long been a powerful force in the United States in the development of breakthrough treatments and cures. Pharmaceutical innovation is inherently risky. Less than 12 percent of promising compounds ever make it past clinical trials to market. Taking the failures into account, research and development costs for every success story run to the billions of dollars. A sound policy environment that promotes innovation has led to some of the most advanced research techniques of any industry -- just what we needed when Covid-19 came calling. The federal government's Operation Warp Speed identified several of the most promising vaccine candidates and guaranteed government purchases in the billions of dollars. Operation Warp Speed has also contributed directly to funding for research and development. But these federal investments would have been money wasted were it not for the technological capabilities and scientific knowhow these research companies already had. Knowledge developed through laboratory and computer work often has multiple applications. Just because research doesn't pan out for the medical condition it was intend-
ed to treat, it doesn't mean it's a bust. Investigators can evaluate it for other conditions. Take the first FDA approved coronavirus treatment, remdesivir. Gilead originally developed it in hopes of finding a treatment for hepatitis. That didn't pan out -- but Gilead did uncover its broad antiviral properties. But then came Covid-19. Researchers found that remdesivir could shorten hospital stays for those infected with the virus. It was the first major clinical breakthrough in developing treatments for those Covid-19 hits the hardest. The world needs innovation, and innovation requires a policy environment and market conditions that nurture it. That's what the United States brings to the table. Thanks to our brilliant scientists and our nation's free market economy, we are delivering relief from this pandemic faster than anyone could have imagined. The research ecosystem is motivated as never before. Countless lives are at stake -and probably a Nobel Prize or two. Peter J. Pitts, a former Food and Drug Administration associate commissioner, is president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.
Why Covid-19 hates America By Peter J. Pitts Pfizer and Moderna announced that in their advanced clinical trials, Covid-19 candidate vaccines have been 95 and 94.5 percent effective, respectively. Federal regulators have authorized the vaccines for emergency use -- and healthcare workers have started receiving shots already. That's amazing. Pfizer and Moderna broke the records for the fastest vaccine development by more than three years. Nor are Pfizer and Moderna the only game in town. Eight additional candidates are in Phase 3 clinical trials. Altogether, 40 additional vaccine candidates are in development. We're going to beat the pandemic because of pharmaceutical innovation. From the moment scientists first sequenced the genome of the novel coronavirus, research-based pharmaceutical companies leapt into action. Moderna's vaccine candidate moved to human trials just three days after President Trump declared a state of emergency. Pfizer was ready to move into final-stage trials by July. No one knew which, if any, vaccine candidate would succeed. But the ecosystem for

Nathan Franklin Alwin August 4, 1990 – April 24, 2020
Nathan Franklin Alwin, 29, of Grass Valley, California, left this earth too early April 24, 2020. Nathan was born August 4, 1990 in Fort Hood, Texas. He was able to travel at a young age and spent time in Texas, Alaska, Hawaii, Georgia, Florida and Oregon, to name a few. Throughout his life, Nathan enjoyed exploring the great outdoors and es-

Rosalie Anne Clawson, age 70, died from cancer at home on December 11, 2020 in Keizer, Oregon. Rose was born on March 14, 1950 in Coos Bay, to parents Martin and Dorothy Slechta. She graduated from Marshfield High School in 1968 and attended
Vaccination From A1
“We’re on the front lines, so we’re exposed to it more than anybody else is,” she said. But with the first doses of the vaccine, Lucatero’s more confident about her safety and that of her family. She hasn’t always been so excited about the vaccine, though. “Honestly at first, I was on the fence about getting the vaccine,” Lucatero said, adding she worried about the vaccine’s shorter-than-usual development and testing period. “When I had the right teachings about it, I was ready.” The additional information Lucatero learned about the vaccine came in part from conversations with her hospital colleagues about the results of the studies required to authorize the vaccine. Once the shipment had hit the hospital, she was convinced of the dose’s safety, and she got her shot Tuesday. Dr. Leah Cely, an emergency room physician, was in a similar situation. At first, she was hesitant about the vaccine when she heard about the expedited timeline the companies were under to produce it. But as she learned more about the process, and the outcome of the vaccine’s three-phase human trials, she became
Southwestern Oregon Community College prior to relocating to Eugene in 1970 with her husband, William Clawson whom she married on September 5, 1970. She said she had over 50 wonderful years with him, doing a great deal of traveling and just enjoying life. Rose then moved to Keizer in 1972. She lived in Keizer with her husband at the same house for over 40 years. Rose was employed with VIPS, Inc. for over 40 years. She found a nurturing place to work and another home. Meeting many friends she cherished and loved. It cannot be overstated the love she had for the management of VIPS, Inc. and her second family.
Rose enjoyed being a gardener, seamstress and fabulous cook. She excelled at each of these hobbies. Those who ate her meals claimed they were better than at the restaurants. Her family and friends will always remember her as a charming, generous, helpful, and friendly women. She had many friends and family who loved her very much. Rose is preceded in death by both parents. She is survived by her husband, William H Clawson; also by family, Marty and Sara Slechta from Lakeside; Thomas and Theresa Slechta from North Bend and George Slechta of Coos Bay. As requested there will be no services.
confident in its safety. “We have a very good idea from the Pfizer and Moderna studies of what to expect from this vaccine,” Cely said, just minutes before she got her shot with her husband, also an ER physician. This vaccine is unlike others before it, since it uses a bit of technology that’s been in development since 2013, Cely said. She explained how the vaccine worked: In brief, it introduces a set of instructions, called mRNA, to the body’s cells. The mRNA tells the cells how to make a protein — similar to the red spike usually displayed in illustrations of the coronavirus protruding from a central ball. Once the body begins to make that protein, Cely said other cells in the body begin to recognize that the spike protein is new and begin to develop antibodies to fight it. If the actual virus — the whole ball and all its spikes — enters the body, it already knows how to respond. That can take place as soon as a week after the second dose of the vaccine, and the mRNA is cleared from the body within weeks after entering, leaving just the antibodies, Cely said. “Vaccination is going to be the most effective of the preventative measures,” Cely said. It’s even more important than treatment, since viruses are very difficult
to treat once they’ve been contracted, and COVID-19 has unpredictable impacts on anyone who contracts it, according to Cely. But beyond the science, Cely’s day-to-day work reminds her why the vaccine matters. The past few weeks have seen an increase in the number of COVID-19 patients she’s worked with. Without knowing who’s going to come into the emergency room from one day to the next, or how the virus might impact them, there’s a lot to worry about. “It’s a level of anxiety that is running through the staff constantly,” Cely said. While social distancing, wearing masks and practicing good hand-washing will all be important in the time until the community reaches “herd immunity,” Cely said the first doses of the vaccine still reduce a bit of that anxiety. “This is momentous,” she said. “For me, this is an indication that the tides are turning in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.” For Wilson, the nurse heading Tuesday’s vaccination clinic, the doses of the vaccine finally give the community an advantage over the virus after months of challenges like protective equipment supply shortages and steep increases in local case counts. “It was like two steps forward, one step back,” he said. “This is like five steps forward.”

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren
HUSBAND EMAILS GIRLFRIENDS HE HAD DURING 10-YEAR SEPARATION DEAR ABBY: My husband and I were married for several years, divorced, then remarried 10 years later. During our separation, he had a lot of girlfriends. To this day, he keeps all their contact information. I discovered he has emailed some of them since we've been back together. I think he uses email to avoid any phone calls that I would be aware of. Our marriage is overall going well, but I don't understand his need to keep up with some of these past "friends." When we remarried, I deleted all of my past contacts. I'm worried that he's still attached to at least a few of these women, and I don't think it's right. What do you think? It makes me very insecure and upset. What should I do? I'm already in therapy. -UNEASY IN THE SOUTH DEAR UNEASY: Marriage is a choice. Your husband CHOSE to remarry you. I am going to assume that because of your insecurity, you have been hesitant to ask him directly why he feels a need to stay in touch with these women. Your therapist may be able to help you with this. If he/she is willing to invite him to accompany you for a session, consider posing the question there. DEAR ABBY: I recently contracted coronavirus and had a difficult time recovering. It has been three months, and I am still suffering from long-term aftereffects. When my co-workers and supervisors ask how I'm feeling and I tell them, they almost immediately downplay my response. Some
of them ignore my response and tell me, "Oh, that's not bad. One time, I lost so much hair, blah, blah," or they say, "Well, you're working. You'll be fine." I feel like it belittles me and makes what I went through seem like a bid for sympathy. How would you recommend I reply? I can't ignore the people at work. -- DOWNPLAYED UP NORTH DEAR DOWNPLAYED: All you need to say is, "If it happens to you, you will understand that I feel lucky to be alive. So many people weren't." DEAR ABBY: I have a question about etiquette. My son is getting married soon. In a conversation with the bride-to-be, I asked if she had chosen a florist and was told that her mom will be making all the wedding flowers out of natural materials. Abby, I hate silk, i.e. "plastic" flowers! Would I be creating a huge problem if I offered to purchase my own wrist corsage from a florist, or should I keep quiet and deal with ugly fake "flowers" with my beautiful dress? Or, can I remove the fake corsage directly after photos are taken? -- OFFENDED MOM OF THE GROOM DEAR OFFENDED MOM: The proper thing to do is keep your opinion to yourself and go along with the plans your soon-to-be daughter-in-law and her mother have made. Wear the corsage and your sweetest smile for the wedding photos. After that it shouldn't cause a problem if you QUIETLY remove it.

Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day highlights epidemic Local advocates spread support in small gatherings on Monday By Jillian Ward For The World
COOS COUNTY ─ Monday was the 30th annual National Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day, recognized this year over a Zoom conference and a handful of small local gatherings. Bittin Duggan, homeless advocate, attended
Campground From A1
supportive of the idea, but raised concerns about the proposed location. At the end of Fulton Avenue at the site of the city’s former wastewater treatment plant, the space is both near a bay access point and adjacent to the bay on one side. “The only thing about the location is that I know that’s utilized a lot by locals and tourists who access the bay for different activities, whether that’s clamming or whatever it may be,” Mayor Joe Benetti said during Tuesday’s work session. “And so that would prohibit that activity, and I think that we would have some push back on that. So I would like to find a place that would be more accommodating, maybe.” Councilor Stephanie Kilmer shared those concerns about the nearby waterfront access point, and mentioned the site’s exposure to wind from the bay. “There’s a variety of issues I see with that site,” Kilmer said. “It is exposed to the elements almost every day of the year just because of where it’s located.” “I think we have to look for a better location,” she added.
the nationwide conference call. She said root causes for homelessness were discussed, including mental illness. However, she said one aspect behind the homeless problem wasn’t mentioned that she hopes will soon be recognized. “Many (homeless individuals) have traumatic brain injuries,” she said. “In my experience in our county, many have brain trauma. Domestic violence, for example, can be a major cause for that. A woman is hit in the back of the head, isn’t treated, it isn’t recognized, and she ends up homeless. It
happens to men, too, who get hit in the head by their female partners. It’s a silent epidemic.” Duggan said thousands of homeless who died over the years were recognized during the conference, with “likely close to 45,000” who died just in 2018. “It was said during the conference that (number) is far too many in one of the richest countries in the world,” she said. Names were scrolled across the screen for the event, including some submitted by Duggan to recognize homeless who died in Coos County. Those
names were Mark Gray and Joenathan Hanson. Duggan and Anna-Marie Slate, another homeless advocate in Coos County, worked together to create local gatherings on Monday, starting at the Nancy Devereux Center. The center provides food, supplies and resources to local homeless. Slate said a small group was brought together at the center to remember those who passed during 2020 while on the streets. “… We stood in a circle and spoke the names of those who passed in the last year, had a couple mo-
ments of silence and had a prayer,” Slate said, adding homelessness is “something that goes on continuously and shouldn’t be, not in the nation we live in.” In previous years, the Coos County Homeless Persons’ Memorial Day – which is always held on the longest night of the year – incorporated candlelit vigils at local churches while stories were shared of people who had died. There was always a meal, as well. But as the pandemic rages, Duggan and Slate worked to meet small groups of homeless throughout the day. In ad-
dition to meeting people at the Devereux Center, they planned to bring food and supplies to areas in Coos Bay and Charleston. Slate encouraged supplies to be donated to the homeless through the Nancy Devereux Center. Items that can be donated include tents, tarps, sleeping bags, clothes, gloves, socks, hats, and backpacks. These can be delivered to the center at 1200 Newmark Avenue in Coos Bay. Monetary donations can be mailed to the Nancy Devereux Center at PO Box 3519, Coos Bay, Oregon 97420.
Johnson told the city council the Devereux Center picked the site for the proposal because it’s not in the middle of a neighborhood, it’s already fully fenced to provide a limited access point and is relatively close to the shower and laundry resources at the center. Plus, she wasn’t able to find any other suitable city-owned properties, she said. “Again, I’m not set on any location, I’m set on doing it,” Johnson said. “If we can find a different location, a better location, great. I just have not yet been able to.” Councilor Drew Farmer held a different perspective than most others on the council, saying the proposed site has benefits. “I do like that site, I would feel that there’s a way we could make an access point for the community down to the area that we do use,” Farmer said. “It’s a lot easier to establish a controlled point of entry (to the campground) at that location.” Councilors Carmen Matthews and Phil Marler expressed support for the project, but said another location might be a better fit. “I’d like to see this council do everything in our power to help you move this project along. It’s a great idea. I’m not totally sold on it either,”
Marler told Johnson. “One of my bigger concerns is the elevation that it sits at. If we have a natural disaster, if there’s a flood or a tsunami or an earthquake, those are going to be the first people in peril.” Still, finding another location could be a challenge. “Currently, we don’t own other properties, really, that are suitable for this,” City Manager Roger Craddock told Johnson and the council. Instead, Craddock said city staff would look into state grants that might allow the city to purchase a piece of industrial property for the site, and come back to the council with options for making it work. Councilors asked that the plan go through the city’s homeless workgroup, which has been on hold since the pandemic began. That could happen as soon as January, and Johnson hopes the campsite could be up and running by April. “I don’t think there’s anyone on this council that doesn’t want this to happen. I think this is one step out of others that need to happen,” Benetti said Tuesday. The idea isn’t a new one: Officials in Medford established a similar campground in July, and have already seen some successes. Johnson said
she’s toured that campground, and has been using it to model the Devereux Center’s proposal for Coos Bay.
belongings. Then, they meet with a case manager, who works with residents to navigate whatever barriers an individual might be facing. Those can be different for everybody, but Hon said it could include waiting for a housing benefit payment, accessing addiction treatment or finding mental health services. The important part is meeting residents where they’re at, Hon said. “You don’t want to overwhelm them, you don’t want to push them into something they’re not comfortable with,” he said. In just the few months that it’s been up and running, Hon said the campground’s seen success. 228 people have lived in its now 51 campsites, and area residents have seen some reductions in crime. “This campground is a godsend for a lot of people,” Hon said. “It’s not a handout, it’s a hand-up.” Still, it took work to get there. Dealing with changing weather in an exposed setting, and establishing and operating the campground required the collaboration of a number of different agencies, as well as some support from community members, Hon said. Take the campground’s meals, for example: The sheriff’s office has been providing breakfasts, while
dinners are cooked by a local mission. For lunch, Rogue Retreat sometimes cooks, but often asks residents to go out to local churches or nonprofits. “I’ve never seen such collaboration between organizations to support people,” Hon said. “I’m very thankful for the community that we’ve got here.” One of the key differences between the Devereux Center’s proposal and the system in place in Medford is referrals to the program. Coos Bay only has one officer assigned to the kind of work the Medford Livability team does, meaning there’s not enough manpower to make referrals. So, the proposal calls on the Devereux Center to be the gateway to a spot in the campground. In Medford, the Rogue Retreat campground isn’t a permanent place to live, and residents stay anywhere between a few weeks to several months, depending on their needs to get into stable housing. That’d be the same in the Coos Bay plan, Johnson said. “The community campground is not their new home,” Johnson said in an interview Monday. “It’s a temporary place for case management to help get them to their next spot.”
Using Medford as a model In Medford, that campground is operated by Rogue Retreat, a nonprofit that also operates several group housing, rent subsidy and tiny home programs for individuals facing housing challenges in the community. The campground started over the summer, in response to an increasing number of people camping along the Greenway, a popular wooded biking trail, and the need for those individuals to have a place to stay healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. “When they’re out there along the Greenway or wherever they may be, they didn’t have that sense of security," Justin Hon, who manages the campground, said in an interview Tuesday. To live in the campground, people have to be referred by Medford’s Livability Team, a group of police officers and city staff who help resolve quality of life problems and housing challenges. After committing to a few community rules, residents receive a tent site and safe place to store their

signs of trauma, including bite marks and extensive bruises. “That’s when I found out they don’t do our kits,” Garcia said. At the Brookings facility, she was told to get a rape kit done, she had to drive to Grants Pass or Coos Bay. Garcia almost left it there, but a friend convinced her to fight back, even if it was only so others wouldn’t have to run into King. After thinking for a few minutes, Garcia decided to do what she thought was best and drove to Crescent City, Calif., 30 minutes from Brookings. At the time, it made sense because Crescent City is much closer than Grants Pass or Coos Bay. “What I think is a problem is maybe someone should tell you if you cross state lines, you have to talk to the police there, too,” she said. Over the next 16 hours, without sleep and without food and water, Garcia told her story over and over to the Brookings police, Curry County Sheriff’s Office, Crescent City police, Del Norte County Sheriff’s Office and a nurse advocate. “You need to be able to do this one time, so you can get as much out as you can,” she said. “It was a nightmare from one end to the other. It’s a completely humiliating experience.” But it was only starting. After a 12-hour standoff where he injured himself seriously, police eventually arrested King. He was flown by air ambulance to a hospital and recovered. “We can give him the best care he can have, but we don’t want to invest in SANE nurses because it’s too expensive,” Garcia said.
But Garcia survived, and the worst was over. Or so the thought. When King came to trial, Garcia said the nightmare started over again. During the trial, she had to testify in public, in front of her friends, her neighbors and even her pastor, about the experience she went through. To top it off, everyone in the courtroom saw blown-up photos of her private parts during the testimony. After her first day of testimony, Garcia remembered going to the grocery store because her children wanted ice cream. As she pushed the cart around, she saw a man who was at the courtroom that day. She said as he stared at her, and she remembered him seeing close-up photos of her body, she left the cart and ran out. After the trial, that ordeal continued. For two years, she pretty much locked herself in her home, afraid to venture out. “I would go to the grocery store 10 minutes before closing,” she said. “My kids never got to go to the river. They were raped from the activities they could have been doing.” Garcia said just living was difficult. While her rapist was locked away for 46 years, she was still not free. “About two years later, I looked at myself in the mirror and said, ‘What are you doing?’” she recalled. “I looked at myself in the mirror and said, ‘Is this going to define you?’” It was then she started thinking about changing the system. “After this experience, I asked does this just happen in Curry County or does it happen in other counties, too,” she said. It turns out, most smaller counties have similar issues. Because it expensive to train and keep Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners, many small counties have none.
At the time, those counties and their medical facilities had no plans on how to help assault survivors. When she first looked, 15 Oregon counties had no SANE nurses, leaving 500,000 people without that service. “Rape does not discriminate based on geography,” Garcia said. “Rape happens in small towns and big towns, so we need care in small towns and big towns. I decided I’m going to devote my time to this.” That was when Garcia began working to change the laws in Oregon. She had lots of help, pointing to Jaculin Smith, an attorney in Oregon, sexual assault survivor Brenda Tracy and sexual assault reform advocate Leah Griffin. But the real change was when Garcia got to tell her story to Brock Smith. When Brock Smith and his team got on board, things began to happen. HB 2375 was filed in the 2019 legislative session. “He and his team, they just took it,” Garcia said. “It passed the committee and went to the House of Representatives. It passed there. It went to the Senate and passed there. It was all unanimous.” Garcia was even invited to the state capital for the signing ceremony with the governor. The new law went into effect in January, although Garcia admits COVID has delayed some elements of it. From Garcia’s standpoint, the key element of the law is hospitals cannot turn sexual assault victims away and if they don’t have a SANE nurse, they must provide transportation to and from a location that does. While Garcia is happy with HB 2375, she is not done. She is already working with Brock Smith and his team on two new pieces of legislation. One would require hospitals and police to have
The World
pamphlets available that tell sexual assault survivors all their rights. While there are pamphlets available now, many list only a small portion of a victim’s rights. The second is admittedly a little more complicated. Garcia would like to see the state’s Fair Trial Law changed so sexual assault survivors can ask for the courtroom to be cleared of spectators when graphic photos are presented or graphic testimony is going on. All attorneys, jurors and the defendant would be permitted to stay. She said having to go through that in public is nothing short of witness intimidation. “Having strangers in the courtroom looking at your private parts, that’s witness intimidation,” she said. “I didn’t say everything 100 percent because I was so humiliated.” Garcia said Friday she had just learned Brock Smith had filed the legislation to change the Fair Trial Law. “It needs to be a fair courtroom, but when your body parts are up there, do you really want your neighbors sitting there?” she asked. “It’s intimidating witnesses.”
Garcia said the changes won’t help her, but there are others it will. Regardless of age or gender, sexual assault victims should be allowed to confront their abusers without intimidation, she said. “This is not my story,” she said. “This is every survivor’s story. Think of your mother sitting on the stand with a picture of her vagina. Would you want her neighbors to see her vagina? I don’t want anyone to go through what I went through. I don’t want anyone to sit on the stand like I did.” While it took years for Garcia to get her life back after being assaulted and testifying, she said she has a focus now. Changing laws in Oregon is a start, but it won’t be the final story. She said she is always coming up with new ideas that could help survivors in the future. “I really want to work on a training manual for safety personnel to appropriately interview the survivors, so they get as much information as possible,” she said. She is also hoping to work with others like Griffin to promote federal laws. Griffin has been working
with Washington Sen. Patty Murray to push the Survivors Access to Supportive Care Act. If passed, the law would provide the resources to conduct a national survey to identify where gaps are in hospitals nationwide. It would also implement federal standards of care, a grant program to expand access to SANE training, a national task force to address the quality of the exams and a national best-practices clearinghouse so healthcare providers can improve the quality of care. Garcia admitted it is often difficult to tell her story, but if it helps others, she is willing to. “It is a purpose, it is a mission, and if I don’t sit in front of you, who will listen?” she asked. Thinking back on the night in 2014 when she was assaulted and the trial that tore the wounds open, Garcia admits is was terrifying and difficult. More than six years later, there are still moments that are very hard. Just last week, she was with her boyfriend when he had to stop near the house where her assault occurred. She admitted is was difficult, but she made it through. And today, she wouldn’t change her experience. “I would not want to be that Jessica again,” she said, referring to before her assault. “I have a voice. I don’t think people realize how important one voice is. If you assert your voice in a healthy way, and you continue to assert your voice in a healthy way, somebody will listen.”

I say thank you!” Dan Barnett said on social media following the event. “In these trying times and with COVID restrictions in our faces, we still persevered and had a wonderful event,” Barnett wrote. “We had almost 100 children through our Christmas wonderland and although modified from past years, fun was had by all. With a movie theater, gingerbread house (room), Santa stockings, handmade woven hats, Santa himself and gifts for all, it was a magical evening. Thank you all again for helping to make this a Bandon tradition and thank you to the many that donated!” Sharron Schmidt was there with her friend Pat Sherwood. Schmidt, who said she knits while watching television, gave away almost 90 colorful pom-pom-topped hats to children, something she has done for several years at the event. Though many children enjoyed the festivities, attendance was down from previous years. The Barnetts found themselves with over three dozen

BANDON WESTERN WORLD
AS I SEE IT MARY SCHAMEHORN The first picture I am sharing is one of the old Bandon City Hall taken during the flooding of Ferry Creek in 1961. But the story has nothing to do with the flood, but more with the old building. In an article in Western World, dated Jan. 20, 1937, which would be just a few months after the fire, the headline reads: “Future City Officials to Remember the Fire.” “Years in the future, when the children of present citizens of Bandon gather around the council table as mayor and councilmen to carry on the administration of the city’s affairs, under the regime of a New Bandon, they will have a constant reminder of the sacrifices made and the efforts put forth in the reestablishment of the city,” read the article in Western World. What the city fathers had in mind was to resurrect the chassis from the remains of the Standard Oil truck, which I talked about recently in relation to pumping gas at the Capps Garage on the night of the fire. The Capps Garage and the gas truck were destroyed in the fire. The paper explains that “The idea was to retrieve the chassis, remove all but the frame and wheels, convey it to the city hall and build upon it a table top to become the official council table of the City of Bandon.” (Unfortunately, even though the article alludes to something that would become a permanent memento in city hall, I do not think they ever carried through with that promise. To my knowledge there is nothing at the “new” city hall, which was built in 1970, to remind us of the fire.) Previous to constructing the present building, the city hall (pictured above) was at Highway 101 and Fillmore where the museum is now located. It was built by the WPA shortly after the fire and served 34 years as the city hall, fire hall and the library. An article in the Jan. 20, 1937, Western World is headlined: “Moving into WPA City Hall. “Bandon’s new WPA City Hall will be occupied today. The offices of the City of Bandon are being moved from the temporary building, formerly Red Cross building, to the larger and more serviceable structure just completed. “The building constitutes one of the most valuable contributions yet made toward the rehabilitation of Bandon. It is likewise a monument to the practicability and the efficiency of the Works Progress Administration.” Is important to point that that this building was finished and ready for occupancy less than four months after the fire. Today, you would barely be through the permit process. The second picture I am sharing is on loan from the museum, and illustrates a story I found in the May 31, 1934, Western World about a man whose life was saved by mud. I do know that the man driving the horse and buggy is Henry Flanders, a pioneer of Bandon. Here’s what the article said: “Walter Wilcox of San Francisco, who has been living at the H.A. DeLong home on Fourmile, narrowly escaped death in an accident on the Alton McCue place on Fourmile Saturday. He was driving a team hitched to a heavy wagon loaded with fence rails (see why I picked this photo). In crossing over a piece of corduroy road across a swampy place, some of the rails slid forward and struck the horses and they started to run away. “Wilcox slipped as he jumped and landed between two corduroy pieces in the road directly under the front wheel. The mud

Old City Hall between the corduroys was soft, so when the front and rear wheels, carrying a load of several tons, passed over him, they squashed him down into the mire until he was almost out of sight. He was extricated and carried to the house. Dr. Arthur Gale was called and found several cracked ribs and a terribly brushed body but no serious internal injuries.” Google had this to say about a corduroy road: “A type of road made by placing logs, perpendicular to the direction of the road over a low or swampy area. It is a hazard to horses due to shifting loose logs.” I love this third picture, although I confess I could find neither the negative or the glossy photo, so I was forced to copy this out of the Nov. 17, 1949, Western World. Not sure how good it will print. The three little girls, dressed in white Russian Cossack outfits, won a prize in the Cranberry Festival parade. The girl on the tricycle is Mary Jane Hartley. The three little dancers, who were in Evelyn Chesselet’s dance class, are, from left, Carol Tucker (Acklin), Margaret Lorenz (Tiffany) and Sue Sweet. A fourth dancing girl, Lorraine Tucker, was not present when the picture was taken. Margaret passed away not long ago, but Carol and Sue still live in the area. It is also cool to note that the Cranberry Queen that year was Joan DeCosta (now Goodbrod), who now lives in an assisted living facility in Woodland, Wash. I talked to Joan on Sunday. She celebrated her 88th birthday last week, and was joined by daughter Michelle and the latter’s boyfriend, Dale, who took her to Dairy Queen for a take-out meal, which they ate in the car. Joan wants her Bandon friends to know how much she misses them, but wanted me to tell them that there have been no cases of the coronavirus in the facility, so even though she hasn’t been to Michelle’s house since March she still keeps in touch with Michelle and her other daughter, Cindy (who lives in Utah), by phone. She hopes that Michelle will bring her to Bandon next summer so she can gather at Holy Trinity Catholic Church (her longtime church home) and greet her friends. “I have such a soft spot in my heart for Bandon,” she said. *** Just after I had written my column tonight, I decided to go out on the front porch and water my plant. Just as I was headed back into the house, I spotted a parcel lying on the sidewalk IN FRONT of my porch, which has a roof, although it’s not enclosed. And this was on Sunday. I could tell by the weight of the rain-soaked package that it had probably been there since at least Friday. It had come from Talbots and had a USPS tracking sticker on the front, but it definitely was not delivered by the US Postal Service because I have a post office box and do not get my mail at home. That is unless it comes from a company who will only deliver to your home address, but this the first package I have ever received that was not left on the porch! I hurried into the house and ripped open the soaking wet package and discovered a $340 reversible wool coat (the most expensive thing I have ever purchased even at half price); Thank heavens Talbots had put it in a plastic bag, so, while it felt damp and cold, I do not think it was ruined. I would love to talk to the person who thought it was OK to throw it on the sidewalk in the dead of winter .... when a covered porch was a foot away, but I guess I should just be glad it was wrapped in

I have heard many complaints lately about the post office and the time people have to stand in line waiting for a package or to mail a package, but believe me I know that if the package had come to the post office, it would not have been soaking wet and nearly ruined! *** Sunday’s Oregonian had two very important articles in it, including Steve Duin’s column titled “Is Mob Rule the New Abnormal?” Steve is one of the best .... and he’s been writing for the Oregonian for many years. I met him several years ago when he came to Bandon to interview me for a story about my saving 30,000 negatives from Western World, which were headed to the local dump. He is a level-headed guy who is not afraid to write about the wrongs that he sees (or the rights). Here is what he has to say about the latest incident of violence in Portland, referred to as the “Red House on Mississippi Street.” “What are we left with in this broken city, now that we know that sovereign citizens in the Red House, and their heavily armed defenders, are safe and secure and comfortably beyond the law?” And it goes on from there. The second item is an editorial written by the staff of the Oregonian titled “Put schools on path to in-person instruction.” I will quote from this important editorial. “It was exactly what Oregon families have been wanting to hear for months. ‘It is time to begin the process of getting more of our students back in he classroom,’ the governor said last Wednesday, announcing dramatically loosened guidelines for schools to reopen for in-person instruction. “The only problem for Oregonians is that the governor making such a strong stand for students was not Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, but Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.” “In making the announcement he emphasized his concern for the educational, social and mental well-being of children who have borne the brunt of this shutdown, reflecting the urgency that has been painfully missing in Oregon’s own strategy for schools. “Caution in the face of a pandemic is an understandable response. But Oregon’s restrictions on schools have been far more stringent than other states and reflect a strange set of priorities.” The editorial goes on to point out that Washington has twice as many cases as Oregon and nearly 2.5 times as many deaths as Oregon. “Reopening schools needs to be a priority not just in words, but action.” Since I am pretty sure many of my readers do not read the Oregonian or sadly probably no newspaper at all, I felt the Oregonian’s perspective was important to share on both of these timely issues.

‘The Masked Dancer’ helps Fox step out of 2020 and into 2021
BY JAY BOBBIN
‘The Masked Singer’ spawns ‘The Masked Dancer’ as new Fox contest debuts
If there can be a “Masked Singer,” why not a “Masked Dancer”? Well, there can be, and Fox is giving the latest entry in the franchise a special advance debut Sunday, Dec. 27. (The show then settles into its regular time period by assuming “Singer’s” usual Wednesday slot Jan. 6.) The premise is similar, as celebrities in elaborate costumes display their dancing aptitude while viewers try to guess along with the series’ panel who’s inside the outfits. Based on a segment featured on Ellen DeGeneres’ weekday talk show (she’s an executive producer here), “The Masked Dancer” offers actor-comedian Craig Robinson (“The Office”) as host. Current Fox staple Ken Jeong is a panelist, as are singer-choreographer and
“American Idol” veteran Paula Abdul, “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum Brian Austin Green and singer-actress Ashley Tisdale. “It is something new for me, but it’s really fun,” the friendly Green maintains. “There’s nothing really negative; that’s just not part of the process. The voting is for the person you want to see the most, not the person you enjoyed the least. It’s all in good fun, and everybody who works on this show seems to have a good time, so it’s a cool experience. It’s nice to be a part of something as positive as this show is.” Green did a “Masked Singer” guest stint this past season as that show’s “Giraffe,” and he confirms that made him prone to sign up for “The Masked Dancer”

when the opportunity arose. “I was in rehearsal for weeks, I had to have wardrobe fittings, it was a whole process – and when I was doing the performance stuff, I realized, ‘Oh. The panelists just come in for this. That’s the job to have!’ ” At the same time, his giraffe stint has given Green an appreciation for what “Masked” guests do: “It was really hard to sing and move, because you have a very limited view inside the costume. The costumes are so tailored for a show like this, the masks are smaller and you have a much better field of vision. And the costumes are much easier to move in. It’s just so impressive that these people can do what they’re doing. They’re not just little moves, they’re fully choreographed numbers.”

DeFazio: Water bill provides relief for coast
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2020 | B7
THE WORLD
DAVID RUPKALVIS
The World
While much of the state was paying attention to the COVID-19 relief package that passed Congress on Monday, Congressman Peter DeFazio was celebrating another win. DeFazio, who serves as the chair of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, said the spending bill that also passed was a big win for the nation’s coastal communities. Included in the package was the Water Resources Development Act of 2020, which fully funds harbor maintenance. “This is a tremendous victory for Oregon’s coastal communities,” DeFazio said. “For decades, I have fought to unlock the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund and ensure that funds already collected for harbor maintenance are fully utilized to keep our local ports dredged and jetties maintained. Finally, WRDA 2020 fulfils that goal. With this fix, our ports and harbors will have the resources they so desperately need, all without raising taxes or adding a penny to the deficit. My bipartisan bill, approved by both the House and the Senate, will create and sustain jobs on the coast, make conditions safer for Oregon’s commercial fishing and recreation industries and boost our state and national economic competitiveness.” DeFazio explained Congress passed a small tax while Ronald Reagan was president to fund harbor maintenance. But over the last decade, Congress has withheld some of that money, which accumulated to $10 billion. When the spending bill passed, the money was unlocked and will be spent over the next decade. DeFazio said beginning in
2021, $500 million in extra funding will be released every year, with the number climbing to $1 billion in the sixth year. “By unlocking the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, my legislation will ultimately provide up to $3 billion annually for port maintenance around the country and right here in Oregon,” he said. “I also successfully pushed for a 50 percent increase in funding for small harbors, like the Port of Gold Beach and the Port of Siuslaw, and for a provision that allows harbor maintenance funds to be seamlessly spent on the maintenance of adjacent marinas. This funding will be put to immediate use paying for planned projects such as the Coos Bay North Jetty rehabilitation and maintenance dredging along the coast.” DeFazio said the Water Resources Development Act twice passed the House unanimously, but the Senate refused to take it up for consideration. That left no choice but to attach it to the spending bill that was approved by Congress on Monday. DeFazio said the additional funding will help offset years of deferred maintenance at ports and harbors across Oregon and the nation. “This is going to the big,” he said. “The North Jetty at Coos Bay has needed repairs for a long time. When jetties start to go, they go quickly. This assistance will help us go forward with the North Jetty repair.” DeFazio also pointed to a dredging project at the Gold Beach harbor as much needed. He said so much gravel has washed into the harbor that the Coast Guard had to remove its boat from the area. Most boats can only enter and exit at high tides due to the built-up silt. With

Blazers routed by Utah in season opener PORTLAND (AP) — Rudy Gobert had 20 points and 17 rebounds in a dominant season-opening performance, leading the Utah Jazz to a 120-100 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. Gobert controlled the inside and got plenty of support from the outside as Utah shot 19 of 50 from the 3-point line. “It’s fun when we play the way we played tonight,” Gobert said. Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic
all made four 3-pointers and Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson knocked down three apiece. Mitchell also scored 20 points. Damian Lillard was scoreless in the first half and finished with only nine points and seven assists for Portland. “They came out from the jump and they were blitzing and trapping. I wasn’t really expecting that,” Lillard said. “But I just didn’t play a good offensive game.” Utah started quickly from outside and pushed its lead to
52-33 with 6:29 left in the first half. The Jazz led by as much as 23 before taking a 64-44 lead at halftime. Lillard was held scoreless in a half for the first time in six seasons. Lillard broke the drought with a layup early in the third quarter. Perhaps no play summed up the night for Portland better than a 3-on-1 break that left Lillard wide open with 31 seconds left, before Lillard took a hesitation dribble and missed the 3-pointer with nobody around him.
The frustration extended to his backcourt mate CJ McCollum, who picked up a late technical foul arguing a call in the fourth quarter. McCollum led the Blazers with 23 points. “I don’t think it was for a lack of effort. I think we played hard, we just didn’t play well on both sides of the ball,” McCollum said. Utah’s held the Blazers to barely 40% shooting and had a 59-40 rebounding advantage. It wasn’t just Gobert, but the Jazz had four other players who
grabbed at least six rebounds, including Clarkson with seven boards off the bench. Wednesday was the first game for Portland newcomers Robert Covington and Derrick Jones Jr. Both players are starters for the Blazers. Jones Jr. had a good night shooting the ball, hitting 3 of 5 3-pointers. Covington was 0 for 3 from the field and scoring only one point. UP NEXT Jazz: Hosts Minnesota on Saturday. Trail Blazers: Host Houston on Saturday.
Seahawks among teams with seven Pro Bowlers Associated Press
Led by their star quarterbacks, the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers each had seven players selected to the Pro Bowl. The Baltimore Ravens also had seven players chosen. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes joins Buffalo’s Josh Allen and Houston’s Deshaun Watson as the AFC quarterbacks. For the NFC, it’s Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers, Seattle’s Russell Wilson and Arizona’s Kyler Murray. Mahomes and Rodgers are the starters, though there will be no actual game this season because of the COVID-19 pandemic. On Jan. 31, the players will be celebrated during two Pro Bowl-themed shows airing on an ESPN/ABC simulcast, with a virtual Pro Bowl experience within the Madden NFL 21 video game. Roster selections were determined by votes of players, coaches and fans. The other Chiefs are DE Frank Clark, OT Eric Fisher, WR Tyreek Hill, DT Chris Jones, TE Travis Kelce and SS Tyrann Mathieu. Baltimore has OT Orlando Brown, DT Calais Campbell, LS Morgan Cox, CB Marlon Humphrey, LB Matthew Judon, FB Patrick Ricard and K Justin Tucker. “After everything that this year has been like, it’s a real blessing to be back in this position again. To still be playing football — and at a high level — and to be voted in by my peers and coaches, it really means a lot. This is an honor I really appreciate as a player,” Brown said. For Green Bay, the other six representatives are WR Davante Adams, CB Jaire Alexander, OT David Bakhtiari, G Elgton Jenkins, RB Aaron Jones and LB Za’Darius Smith.

Seahawks Running Backs This time a year ago, the Seattle Seahawks were in such a dire spot at running back that Skittles became a required accessory on the sideline during games. Yes, it was this time a year ago that the Seahawks — thinned by injuries — brought Marshawn Lynch out of retirement to try and provide some help in the backfield for the final week of the regular season and into the playoffs. Safe to say, the Seahawks appear to be in much better shape with their run game heading into the final stages of this season. “We got three really good, well, four really good running backs that can go in and take over,” Carlos Hyde said. “Just happy to have us all healthy.” Going into Sunday’s NFC West showdown with the Los Angeles Rams, the Seahawks are as healthy as they’ve been all season at running back. It comes at a crucial time as the Seahawks offense has evolved from being pass-heavy to finding more balance as the season has progressed. Chris Carson is back after a foot injury slowed him for about a month. Hyde has recovered enough from toe and hamstring issues and looked fine last week, running for a 50-yard touchdown against Washington. As an added benefit, the Seahawks brought former first-round pick Rashaad Penny back last week after he missed an entire year with a knee injury.
Oregon freshman Sewell honored by Pac-12 coaches Oregon’s Noah Sewell was named the freshman defensive player of the year by the Pac-12 conference this week. Sewell, a linebacker, led all Pac-12 freshmen in tackles (38) and tackles for loss (5.0). He started his career strong with at least four tackles and a tackle for loss in four of his first five games. Oregon State defensive back Alex Austin was among other nominees for the award. Colorado running back Jarek Broussard was the offensive player of the year after a season in which he led the Buffaloes with 813 rushing yards in five games and was named offensive player of the week for the Pac-12 three times. USC safety Talanoa Hufanga was the Pat Tillman Defensive Player of the Year. He led all Pac-12
players with four interceptions and 40 solo tackles. Against rival UCLA he had 17 total tackles, including two for losses, a forced fumble and an interception. Utah’s Ty Jordan was the offensive freshman of the year and rushed for more than 100 yards in each of Utah’s final three games, all wins. He finished with 597 rushing yards and six touchdowns. Colorado’s Karl Dorrell was named coach of the year after leading the Buffaloes to a 4-1 record and a trip to the Alamo Bowl. Oregon State had three first-team selections and Oregon two. The Beavers were running back Jermar Jefferson, offensive lineman Nathan Eldridge and linebacker Avery Roberts. Oregon’s first-team picks were defensive lineman Kayvon Thibodeaux and defensive
back Mykael Wright. Oregon offensive lineman Alex Forsythe and defensive back Deommodore Leonoire and Oregon State offensive lineman Joshua Gray were on the second team.

The Coffee Spot gets its mojo on The drive-thru opens in Lakeside JILLIAN WARD For The World
LAKESIDE ─ On the corner heading into downtown Lakeside stands a new coffee drive-thru, or more aptly named “The Coffee Spot.” “Get your mojo on,” said co-owner Chris Barnett, quoting the company motto and inviting people to visit what has now been his dream for the past four years. Barnett had the corner of 701 Airport Way in his sights for some time, which he described as originally being “an eyesore.” “I found out who owned
(the land) and asked if they’d be willing to sell,” he said. “The gentleman said he wasn’t interested in selling, but I gave him my number and checked in with him.” It was then that the owner agreed that “it might be time to let it go.” Barnett shared his idea of opening a coffee stop and the owner “thought it was excellent,” he said. From Grants Pass, Ore., Barnett worked on radio commercials for Dutch Bros. Coffee and dreamt of doing something similar. “I wanted to do something fun,” he said. “The community doesn’t have many businesses here, but we have a traffic area where everything goes into (the town).” Please see Coffee, Page C6

ARK program spreads the holiday joy ZACK DEMARS The World
COOS BAY — During a difficult holiday season, the ARK Project has been busy making wishes come true – even more than a normal year, in spite of the pandemic. A Coos Bay School District program offering basic needs support and other advocacy for homeless youth and families in the county, the ARK Project partnered with school staff and community organizations to pro-
vide holiday toys for nearly 150 children this winter. The 700-plus toys they distributed went to families that are doubled up with other families, living in trailers or experiencing housing challenges in another way, according to Melinda Torres, the ARK program manager. “We focus on families that qualify as being homeless,” Torres said. This year, the program saw not only an increase in families asking for assistance, but also an increase in the number of people
willing to give it. “My coworker and I, we felt like Oprah,” Torres said of being able to give to about 50 more families than a usual year. “I was not expecting this whatsoever.” Torres thinks more people gave to the project this year because other donation events were shuttered due to the pandemic. The ARK Project received a collection of leftover toys from the annual Bus Jam event, which also saw an increase in cash donations this year. Donations to the ARK Proj-
ect’s effort came from other groups too, like the staff at Madison and Marshfield High School, the Coos Bay Garden Club and Tree of Joy. To wrap the gifts, the ARK Project enlisted the help of the MHS Charity Program, a class of Marshfield High School students who fundraise for, and volunteer with, the project’s staff. They distributed upwards of 30 Thanksgiving meal boxes this year too, Torres said. Please see ARK, Page C2

Cardinal Services donated $885 to CASA of Coos and Curry County as part of the company’s Casual Friday Jean Fund.
CASA, Bus Jam benefit from Casual Friday Jean Fund at Cardinal Services Weekly $2 donations add up to big bonus for local charities
Not even 2020 can stop the staff at Cardinal Services’ Coos Bay office from upholding their annual Casual Friday Jean Fund tradition of donating to a local charity. This year, the determined employees decided to split the do-
nation between two very worthy causes: CASA of Coos & Curry County and the Coos County area’s annual December Toy/Food Drive event, Bus Jam Saturday. Cardinal’s Coos Bay office staff are allowed to wear jeans on Friday’s as one of Cardinal’s ongoing team-building traditions, but they must pay for that privilege. Employees are asked to donate $2 each Friday. At the end of the year, the staff selects a local charity to
donate the Jean Fund money. However, this year has been a challenge! While Cardinal, a Coos County staffing, payroll and human resources firm, has been fully operational during the pandemic—providing services to employers and job seekers alike—the company decided to close its doors to the public to protect the staff beginning in Please see Donation, Page C6
As is our family custom — perhaps yours, too — we brought a young fir tree into our home a couple of weeks ago and decorated it with colorful lights and memory-laden baubles. Lights strung so they’re buried in the branches a bit, heavy ornaments on the bottom and inside, where the branches are strongest, delicate ornaments up high, special topper on the leader; certain things seem to belong certain places on our captured Yule tree. Different parts of trees living in the forest (or on the tree farm) are also utilized in different ways. For example, the outside edges of trees, where we hang most of our ornaments, are the favored habitat for the black phoebe. Coos County’s only wintering fly-catcher, black phoebes flit about the branch tips snagging insects. The ends of conifer boughs are home and fodder for caterpillars and other insects that feed on the needles. Small and medium branches of trees are the main feeding grounds for downy woodpeckers, while large branches and the main trunk are favored by nearly-identical hairy woodpeckers. Large branches and the main trunk, too, are where you’ll find nuthatches working their way head-first down the tree, feeding on insects on the trunk’s bark. The brightly-marked Townsend’s warblers are found high in the forests in winter, as are the weird-beaked crossbills. High in conifers is also where red tree voles generally live, feeding on the trees’ needles. In contrast, our resident spotted towhees, as one example, make their homes low in trees and shrubs and on the ground beneath them. Since towhees are well-camouflaged in color, they’re more likely to catch your attention when they’re flipping through the duff to expose their meals with their two-footed hop-scratch. The tree needles that we vacuum up at home accumulate under living conifers, too, building the fluffy, organic-rich duff the towhees toss around. That decomposing duff is yet another tree-related habitat, one inhabited by a myriad of arthropods, worms, and other invertebrates, including certain woodland salamanders. Also borrowing through and under the duff are small mammals such as mice, voles, and mountain beavers. Please see Giles, Page C6

The Chamber Minute: Why join the chamber?
TIMM SLATER Bay Area Chamber of Commerce
The World
Over the past few months we have talked about the various teams, activities and opportunities the chamber is involved in. But why be a chamber member? I ask that question periodically of our directors, who are your friends and neighbors. Here’s a little of what they had to say. • I belong to the chamber because I believe it “Takes a village to make good things happen.” I see the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce as a strong leader for our Coos County village and I am proud to be an active member. I take very seriously my role in community service and helping
small businesses succeed. • Like many, my first thought is because we are a business community that should work together to better ourselves and better our community. I think by sharing we become better. By educating we become better. By working together, we become better. • Like most things in life, you get out, what you put in. However, the connections and friendships that I have developed by being active with the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce are invaluable. Those relationships have led to collaborations both personally and professionally. • I believe the chamber is key to
communications, coordination and collaboration in this community. The chamber is the voice of local collective business as we represent the community and small business well. • I love knowing what’s going on in our business community and being apprised of community events and activities. I like networking with other businesses and learning about the services that are offered in our area. • I believe that as a business owner, I have a responsibility to invest my time and money back into the community that supports me and my family. As the community flourishes, so will my business.
• It is simple. We are stronger, have more influence and clout when we work together. We will each be successful when we are all successful! So, if you want to make a difference for your business and your community, there is a spot for you at the chamber. Remember our business is helping your business. And like us on Facebook!

In another new facet of the project’s holiday program, the volunteers were able to distribute winter break meal boxes for some 60 families, thanks to the help of a private donor. During winter break, it can be a challenge to provide support for children in the community, since they’re not in school, where ARK Project staff can check in with them easily. With the pandemic, that challenge doesn’t just arise during the break, according to Torres. “Especially with distance learning, they’re not going to be in school for a while,” Torres said. “We don’t see them every day, so we don’t know what their needs are.” In a “normal” year, most of the children that the ARK Project supports come from school staff referrals — like if a teacher overhears a student in class mention how hungry they are or notices them wearing the same clothes for days in a row. But without in-person classes, that’s easier said than done. With online learning, many students keep their cameras turned off during online meetings and don’t interact with their teachers nearly as much, if they can attend at all. That means Torres and her team have had to get creative. She’s started cold calling families, going door-to-door in trailer parks and neighborhoods and asking families she already works
Riley graduated from North Bend High School last year where he had participated in numerous athletic teams including baseball, basketball, track and cross country, and wrestling where he receive various awards and served as team captains for many of the teams. He also participated in several other clubs in addition to sports. He is now attending Southwestern Oregon Community College working on a degree in the nursing program while also working for the West Coast Contractors company. For his Eagle Project, Riley and his 28 assistants worked for approximately 595 hours in planning and constructing a bronze soldiers cross statute to honor and remember the loved ones who paid the greatest sacrifice while fighting for our country at the David Dewett Memorial north of the McCullough Bridge. The following short story is how Riley Wesman responded to the question of what does scouting mean to me? “Scouting has been about more than just the weekend camp outs and earning merit badges. For it has been about trying and learning new things, helping others, giving back, and creating a bond with fellow scouts. Starting in the first grade as a Tiger Cub, I have had 13 years to learn and understand what it means to be a scout. The Scout Law

That also means a good group of people who’ve been able to receive holiday cheer from the project — a success Torres credits
to the community of donors and volunteers, even during challenging times. “This year was a super great turnout with tons of community support,” Torres said. More information about receiving support from or donating to the ARK Project is available on the Coos Bay School District’s website, or by calling the project at 541-267-3104, ext. 7115.
describes this quite well with 12 different virtues a Scout is to uphold. Learning these traits has built me into a better person as I have grown, I have learned to be selfless and help others. “Giving back to our community has always been a priority of mine, especially for those who risked lives fighting for our country. My Eagle Scout Project portrays this mind set as I put in a bronze soldier‘s cross at our local David Dewett Veterans Memorial Wayside. This monument is composed of a solid bronze soldiers cross sitting atop a granite base, centered on a granite base, centered on a concrete star. With railings from the McCollough Bridge as a backdrop and a hand railing around the granite base this Killed-InAction Memorial will serve as a healing place for anyone who has lost a loved one in service. At the end of the walkway connecting to the concrete star is a granite triangle with the words “All Gave Some” to correlate with the words “Some Gave All” engraved on the granite base of the soldiers cross. With the completion of this project many veterans have said, “The wayside is now complete.” “In summation, the single most important thing I have learned throughout my Scouting career has been doing my duty to God and my country, helping other people at all times, keeping myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. Scouting has shaped me to become the man I am today.”

Some wood stove manufacturers have welded the air controls open on their wood stoves in order to pass the new EPA standard. Before you purchase a new wood stove, make sure to check the BTU range. For example 12,000 - 60,000 BTU’s is a good range and 35,000-60,000 BTU’s is a bad range. If the BTU range is not printed in the brochure, the EPA has a website where you can check the manufacturer’s performance range.

Pellet manufacturers are experiencing difficulties in finding raw materials to make pellets. Even if they find raw materials, they no longer have the capacity to keep up with demand. This has caused the price of pellets to soar over the years. Gas & wood prices have stayed much more stable or have even gone down dramatically in some cases. Gas & wood stoves will work without power. Pellet stoves require a power source. The availability of pellets will become even more serious as time goes on. Wood & gas are plentiful and inexpensive.

The Coffee Spot opened a month ago in Lakeside.

In addition, he explained that it is going to be a prime location now that the ATV ordinance has been approved, “So why not have something fun for this community? And everyone likes coffee, right?” Barnett and his wife Stefani, who is co-owner as well, purchased The Coffee Spot from a woman in Albany, Ore. who didn’t want to continue
the business. Interested in carrying on her hard work, the Barnett’s kept the name and moved the shop to Lakeside. They also held onto the same product, which is Dillanos Coffee out of Sumner, Wash. “It’s really good stuff,” Chris Barnett said of the brand. The Coffee Spot manager, Nancy Nottingham, stated they can make anything a customer requests including iced coffee, smoothies, Italian soda and energy drinks.
“If someone says they want to try something else, if we have the flavors, we will do it,” she said, pointing out that the shop is 20 minutes away from Coos Bay or Reedsport, meaning it is likely to draw in customers who might need a coffee between towns. And so far, the most popular drink has been the white chocolate mocha. “I think that drink is popular for most coffee places,” Barnett said. “My personal favorite though is the Earl Gray hot choco-
late. I didn’t think I’d like it, but it is a very good drink that’s not coffee but tea.” Since opening Nov. 17, Barnett said the community has been supportive. “…People are just finding out about us,” he said. “We want people to know we’re not a secret. And with COVID, people aren’t going out and businesses are suffering but take-out and drive-thru’s are open, so we are here for the community. “Come by and see us,” he said.
March of 2020. “Casual Friday” at Cardinal transformed into “Casual Dress Every Day,” with many of the usual staff contributors now working remotely. The money collected in the Jean Fund began to lag. But Cardinal’s Jean Genies were not to be defeated by some unseen microbe. After taking stock of the smaller-than-usual end of the year jean fund, the staff decided to step up their contributions. The Coos Bay staff dug deeper into their pockets and raised a total of $1,770. This year two charities were selected, with each charity receiving a donation of $885. The selected charities include: CASA of Coos and Curry County: CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. The mission of CASA of Coos and Curry County is to recruit, train, and supervise volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children that are involved within Oregon’s foster care program. The CASA program is the only volunteer organization directly connected to the court. Volunteers are appointed and sworn in by a judge to speak for a child whose needs would otherwise not be heard and

In the soil below the conifers, still other organisms thrive. Certain fungi form relationships with roots of conifers and decorate the ground beneath the trees in autumn with their “mushroom” fruiting bodies. (Other fungi form such relationships with deciduous trees, some don’t discriminate, and others don’t form such relationships at all.) Some species of lichens, those gray-green combinations of fungi and algae that flock trees, are found high in trees; some others are found low in trees. Some of our larger mammals, such as raccoons and bears, may sleep under conifers or in their sturdiest lower branches. It gets more complex: many species may use several parts of a conifer
prevent a child from falling through the cracks of the child welfare system. Bus Jam Saturday event is held every year on one Saturday in December. The communities of Coos Bay, North Bend and surrounding areas attempt to fill school buses with new unwrapped toys and food for local families in need. This event is one of the largest, one-day community-wide collection efforts on the west coast! Jessica Hakki, director of hiring for Cardinal, and holder of the Jean Fund collection bowl, captured the spirit of Cardinal Staff, “a lot of companies have a casual Friday and allow their staff to wear jeans. The fact that our staff took it to the next level during these COVID-challenged times to benefit the community says a lot. They rose to the challenge, collected their spare change, and increased their giving. We love doing this!” Cardinal Services of Coos Bay is proud to continue the tradition of the Jean Fund started by its founder, Bud Freeman, in 2009. CASA and Bus Jam Saturday join these past recipients: The Ark Project, Bay Area Enterprises, Coos County Animal Shelter, Habitat for Humanity, Nancy Devereux Center, Star of Hope, the Women’s Resource Center and Operation Rebuild Hope’s Bryan’s Home, just to name a few. as habitat and the habitats offered by a conifer change as the tree grows and matures. Flat, moss-covered tops of broad limbs in very old conifers are where marbled murrelets build their nests, for example. And, of course, when the conifer eventually dies, other, different sets of habitats become available for use. Now the cheerful focal point of our home during the darkest days of the year, our Yule tree offered a dynamic variety of homes for others in the wild.

This week in Coos County history: December 23-26 100 YEARS — 1920 Marshfield gets special notice
Today the water was almost level with the wharf and the bay presented quite an interesting appearance.
Herbert Hoover wires his appreciation from N.Y. Sends a message to Robert E. Smith, of Portland, about the European relief drive The fact that Marshfield was one of the first to raise her quota for the fund to be used for the relief of the starving children of Europe attracted the attention of Herbert Hoover, who is at the head of the drive. The following message was sent from New York by Mr. Hoover to Robert E. Smith, in charge of the relief work in this state, at Portland. “Am deeply gratified at receipt of your message that Marshfield is over the top. Please convey to her citizens my sincerest congratulations and appreciation of their achievement and hope it will be a stimulation to other big hearted citizens of my former state. I am deeply pleased to have my pride in Oregon’s splendid citizenry justified by continued faithfulness and loyalty of Liberty Loan workers and others to every cause. I am confidently expecting the balance of Oregon to complete quota soon.
Jefferson High coming to Coos
Tide is highest since year 1909

South Marshfield is under water today Runs over the dykes and causes flood — by is level with the dock this afternoon The tide today is the highest it has been since the year 1909. It is over the dykes and the whole of South Marshfield is flooded by the high water. It is a higher tide than several weeks ago when the water ran over the dykes in places.
Will play three games in the county The Jefferson high school basketball team will be in Coos county during the coming week. The schedule will be as follows: At North Bend; Dec. 27 At Marshfield; Dec. 28 At Coquille; Dec. 29 The Marshfield game promises to be a splendid, snappy game all the way through. Jefferson high is said to have one of the best high school basketball teams in the state this season and is out looking for the state championship. Marshfield also has a fast team with lots of “pep.” A large crowd is expected to witness this game, as it will probably be the best that Marshfield will see for some time and it will also be a comparison between Portland’s best and the Coos county teams. Twenty-five cents admission will be charged.
50 YEARS — 1970 By United Press International The top sports story in Oregon this year was the introduction into the state for the first time of major league professional sports. Sports editors and sportscasters of UPI newspapers and radio stations rated the Portland Trail Blazers’ entry into the National Basketball Association as the
number one sports story of the year. Here are the top five stories. 1. Trail Blazers 2. Steve Prefontaine’s running 3. Oregon football 4. Ralph Miller starts new era in basketball at Oregon State 5. Corvallis High’s basketball and football crowns Prefontaine, the Coos Bay marvel, set an NCAA 3-mile record of 13:22 as a freshman last spring and this fall won the NCAA cross country race as a sophomore in 28:00.2. He appears to be America’s great distance running hope for the 1972 Olympics.
in the bronze statue’s jacket. “This is when it begins taking on character of its own. “People like bronze because they don’t have to be careful with it,” he said. “They can touch it and it’s almost better if they do.” Bronze work is an art form that has been around since the Dark Ages, Holman said. “The Dark Ages began around the fall of Rome in 476 A.D. and lasted until the 10th century. Now he plans to teach others the skills and techniques they need to work with the substance.
20 YEARS — 2000
Students in the North Bend and Coos Bay school districts recently completed a food drive competition raised almost 22,000 food items for the Salvation Army. The students and faculty at Marshfield High School, North Bend High School, North Bend Junior High School and Bangor Elementary used various class and school competitions to collect the food items. North Bend High School students gathered 7,997 cans of food and needed a 17foot rental truck to haul it to the Salvation Army center. Bulldog students and faculty also responded to a challenge to drop coins in collection tubes to purchase toys for needy children. More than $350 was used to purchase gifts for the “Toys for Tots” and “Tree of Joy” program.
Vulcan World Local bronze artist revives art form of the dark ages DRAIN — With his wild red hair, longsleeved shirt and blue jeans, Mack Holman is the typical picture of an artist. The heavy silver apron, thick elbow-length gloves and the plastic face shield Holman wears are the first clue that he is not the paint-and-canvas type. Holman’s medium of choice is bronze, which he uses to create monumental sculptures at his foundry that is located off Highway 38, just outside the city limits. His calling card of sorts is “Finals Week,” a 5 ½-foot bronze statue of a girl carrying books that is located outside of his art gallery. While his statue is a copy, the original can be seen on the Clackamas Community College campus. “It’s starting to pick up some blues and greens,” he said, pointing to a few crevices
