Mill fireworks will replace CB Fourth festivities By ZACK DEMARS The World
The Bay Area’s Fourth of July festivities will look a little different once again. The city’s annual Independence Day activities in Mingus Park and its fireworks display will again be on hold due to state social distanc-
ing rules and COVID-19 regulations. “Based on the state’s pandemic restrictions, holding the events as normal is not possible and as such, the difficult decision was made to postpone this year’s fireworks display and to cancel the Fourth of July activities in Mingus Park,” Mayor Joe Benetti wrote in a week-
ly update Friday. But the community isn’t all out of options for celebrating the Fourth. The Mill Casino is partnering with Coos Bay and North Bend leaders for what it calls the “Bay Area Fireworks Extravaganza,” according to Benetti. The fireworks will begin at 10 p.m.
The Mill’s display will move to the entrance of the bay’s Marshfield Channel, across from the Coos History Museum, at 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 3. There, residents can watch the fireworks from the Coos Bay Boardwalk and along U.S. Highway 101. “This will allow us all to spread

Merkley convenes forest management hearing ZACK DEMARS The World
highest court ruled in 2018 it couldn’t be sold to private hands. Since then, university and state leaders have been working with the goal of transferring the forest to the university, which will launch a multi-track forest harvest and conservation research program. But since the research plan will include some logging and other forest activities, it could impact some of the forest’s endangered species. The state and university need a federal permit before that can happen. “Everything we do is in the service of covered species, and the HCP (habitat conservation plan)
Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley hopes to use his post on a powerful Senate committee to increase funding for wildfire prevention efforts. The Democratic senator this week convened a hearing of an appropriations subcommittee he chairs on the topic of funding forest management. Merkley and the subcommittee questioned U.S. Forest Service Chief Vicki Christiansen about the agency’s fire prevention work. “The 2020 fire year became a call to action. We saw the most acres burned on the Forest Service lands since the Big Burn of 1910. In many places, forests will not come back on their own, which impacts the potential for carbon storage and limits the land’s capacity to mitigate climate change,” Christiansen told the committee. In all, Christiansen told senators her agency needs more money for fuel management programs and to provide higher pay for wildland firefighters. “Despite the pandemic, the Forest Service sustained our hazardous fuels production work, but we know it’s not enough. We need a paradigm shift,” she said. In comments to reporters after the hearing, Merkley laid out his vision for providing those funds through congress. “Forests of course are absolutely the heart of Oregon’s identity. We value the forests. They’re headwaters of our clean drinking water, they’re the genesis of our salmon runs, they’re the backbone of our recreation in our rural economies,” Merkley said. “And the Forest Service and the professionals that staff it are critical to our state, our people, our economy.” One key program Merkley noted to promote resilient forests was the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program, which brings together timber, environmental and other stakeholders in certain forests to collaborate on forest management. “These collaborative have been just an amazing opportunity for folks who’d (been) considered rivals or almost enemies to come together and work out a plan. And the result is the plans stay out of court, because the stakeholders were there from the beginning talking to each to each other,” Merkley said. He’s hoping to get congress to approve $80 million for the program in the next budget year, doubling its appropriation. Merkley also wants the federal government to spend more money on taking care of its forests, by thinning, mowing and burning forests to reduce the risk of the most intense wildfires.

After more than a year of restrictions due to COVID-19, students at Marshfield, Bandon, Coquille and Myrtle Point high schools were able to participate in the Marshfield High School Indisutrial Skills Competition. One competition was creating a fire pit, with these three fire pits submitted to the judges. Below, in addition to fire pits, students were tasked with creating woodworking, metalworking and CAD projects.
Students compete in Marsfield High School Industrial Skills Competition By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World
For the last year and a half, COVID-19 has played havoc with many extracurricular activities at local schools. One area impacted the most was the machine classes at area schools. At Marshfied High School, the machine class led by Glen Crook has been one of the top classes in the region, winning first place in Skills USA in welding four straight years. But COVID stopped all competitions, leaving a hole in the learning process many of the students enjoyed. After more than a year without skills competitions, Crook decided enough was enough and he put together his own - the Marshfield High School Industrial Skills Competition. While COVID prevented an in-person competition, Crook decided it was time the students Please see Competition, Page A2
Elliott planners consider endangered species ZACK DEMARS The World
Three species are receiving special consideration in the state’s plan to turn the Elliott State Forest in to a living laboratory. State officials are seeking public input on the forest’s draft habitat conservation plan, the document which lays out how the research program might impact the forest’s endangered and threatened species by quantifying the possible “take,” the legal term for harm to the animals or their habitat. “We’ll be asking the sort of core question: When we implement these activities on the land-
scape over the next 80 years, what are the potential effects that they could have on those species, and then what minimization and or mitigation measures need to be put in place to offset the potential of take to occur under the Endangered Species Act,” said Troy Rahmig, a consultant hired by the state to design the plan. The plan is one of many steps ahead for the forest’s future. In December, a panel of state leaders signaled their support for moving forward with a plan to put the state forest into the care of Oregon State University for research purposes. That OSU idea has been the leading blueprint for the future of the forest since the state’s

had an opportunity to build something using the skills they have been learning. “The whole COVID situation basically shut down all our competitions,” Crook said. “My students really enjoy the competitions. It pushes them to get better. So, I created a virtual-ish competition. We participated in some other competitions this year, but it was basically a written test.” Crook said he met with some other machine teachers and came up with a plan. He created instructions for students from novice to advanced in welding, woodwork, machining and CAD. When the other schools -

He says there are 2.3 million acres of forests in Oregon which have received environmental review for that kind of cleanup — but that haven’t gotten it yet. “And yet, we don’t have the money to do the treatment,” Merkley said.

Bandon, Coquille and Myrtle Point - told Crook how many students were participating, he took instructions and materials to each school. Students were given two weeks to build their finished projects and Crook collected them. “I’ve been bringing in industrial partners to judge everything and sponsor everything,” Crook said. “We’ve had tremendous luck with sponsors. When all is said and done, they’re donating more than $3,000 in prizes.” Crook said being able to compete was fun for his students. “They really enjoy the welding,” he said. “The students enjoy the competition aspect of it. I have some competitive machinists as well. They just don’t have as
ly in President Joe Biden’s soon-to-be-released jobs and infrastructure package. Beyond those large programs, Merkley said he’s also supporting other wildfire efforts, like funding for Oregon land and water conservation projects, removing a cap on wildfire suppression spending and establishing year-round firefighting teams to do fire prevention work in the offseason. In all, the senator said forest management will only continue to be more import-
many competitions.” In the welding competition, the advanced students were tasked with making a fire pit. Three finished products, all well-made, were turned in. At the novice level, students showed how they cut out shapes in metal and combined different pieces to make a finished product. At Marshfield, there are talented students in machining and CAD, but the highlight is the welding students as can be seen by the banners hanging on the wall. Crook said those who participate all four years learn valuable skills they can use in the workforce immediately, if they choose to. “The ones who want to pursue welding, they are able to go,” Crook said. “Two years ago, I had one go directly into an apprenticeship with Sause Brothers. I have two who are still students here, and they have jobs. I actually had one who graduated a few years ago who started his own business.” To get to that point, though, the students need to practice their skills by buildng things, and there’s no better way to do it than competitions. “They were very excited to be able to compete in a tactical skill,” Crook said. “They don’t like writted tests. Written tests are not a real test about your ability to weld.” Crook said although the school has been closed for much of the year, he has had students coming in to work since the school year started.

As part of the Marshfield High School Industrial Skills Competition, welding students were tasked with showcasing basic skills like cutting, measuring and putting together objects. Left, a finished fire pit waits to be judged. A group of about five students have been there almost every day. “I have a five or six that are online only, and they come in every day,” Crook said. Crook began his professional career in engineering before taking a job as a millwright. He was then approached
about teaching and says he loves the job. “It’s definitely something I could retire in,” he said. “It’s definitely more rewarding than the 9-5 jobs I’ve had in the past.” In his teaching job, Crook teaches the skills and then lets the students practice for real. Even in competitions, Crook said he wants his stu-
dents to figure out challenges as they participate. “I try to give it up to them as much as possible,” he said. “That way they get to learn.” Crook said he will announce the winners this week after the judging is complete. He hopes next year things will return more to normal, allowing more competitions to take place.
Forest
The impact on salmon is a little harder to predict, according to Rahmig, since they’re not observed and counted the same way birds are. According to the plan, it’s key to ensure rivers and streams have enough large wood to form pools for the forest’s three coho populations to live. To do that, forest leaders have plans for conservation areas around the forest’s streams and rivers to ensure there’s enough wood around to fall in. “It’s pretty protective overall with fish to begin with,” Rahmig said. “We’re not asking for a large amount of take for coho. I would say take is very much minimized on coho, just by the design of the research.” The plan also calls for the restoration of certain streams, reduction of certain forest roads and even possible beaver restoration projects in order to protect salmon from possible habitat damage.
As for the two bird species, the plan calls for a number of conservation measures, like seasonal restrictions on forest activities when the birds are nesting and commitments to maintain and expand the level of suitable habitat for the animals in the forest. Rahmig said one other aspect of the habitat conservation plan is unique, compared to other similar plans he’s worked on: The university’s research itself is part of the conservation plan. “It’s a very conservation-heavy project proposal, if I were to think about it that way,” Rahmig said. “There is a lot of conservation built in to the research design from the beginning.” Notably, the plan doesn’t consider any special rules for the coastal marten, a rare, weasel-like carnivore found in Oregon and Northern California. Without the animals on the permit, OSU researchers and forest users won’t be allowed to impact them at all. Rahmig said the animals could eventually be added to the permit when more is known about the population in the forest. According to Katy Kavanaugh, one of the OSU faculty leading the research forest effort, some of that coastal marten research is already underway by the university. “It’s definitely a species of interest to the college and our collaborators,” Kavanaugh said. The plan as it stands isn’t set in stone. The Department of State Lands will hold another information session at 5:30 on June 3. The full draft plan and access to the information session is available on the state’s website at https://www.oregon.gov/dsl/ Land/Pages/Elliott.aspx. After the HCP is submitted and permits are issued, there are still more steps to take before the Elliott becomes a research forest, including management plans, public and tribal engagement and legislative action.

All of Oregon qualifies as child care ‘desert’ MOLLY ROSBACH
The World Guest Article
A new report from Oregon State University shows that as of March 2020, all 36 counties in Oregon qualify as child care “deserts” for infants and toddlers — meaning that there are at least three children under the age of 2 for every available child care slot in the county.
Baseline report Researchers say the report, based on data collected prior to COVID-19, will serve as a useful baseline to highlight how the pandemic has exacerbated the challenges facing Oregon families with small children. “This report confirmed what families understand: There’s not enough child care, period, but there’s really a crisis when it comes to infant and toddler slots,” said Megan Pratt, an assistant professor of practice in OSU’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences and lead author of the report, published this week. Michaella Sektnan at OSU was her co-author. The report builds on Pratt’s 2019 comprehensive look at Oregon child care, which showed a similar landscape: All 36 counties were child care deserts for the 0-2 age group, while 25 counties were deserts for kids ages 3-5. The biennial reports are funded via the state’s Early
Learning Division as part of the Oregon Child Care Research Partnership with the purpose of informing state policymakers on the current status of Oregon’s child care supply, particularly the dearth of options for infants and toddlers and the role played by publicly funded programs in filling those gaps, especially in rural areas.
By the numbers The new report found that while the state’s total amount of state-licensed child care increased by 588 slots from 2018-2020, and the estimated number of children under the age of 5 declined by about 13,000 statewide, Oregon’s child care supply remains limited. Twenty-five of Oregon’s 36 counties are also deserts for preschool kids ages 3-5, and for infants and toddlers ages 0-2, half of Oregon’s counties qualify as “extreme” deserts, with, at most, one child care slot for every 10 children in that age group. The numbers show public investment plays a key role in expanding the child care supply in Oregon. Between 2018 and 2020, increased state funding led to an additional 817 publicly funded child care slots across the state, part of the overall growth. Publicly funded slots now account for 19% of Oregon’s total child care supply. “This report highlights why Oregon needs to contin-
ue to invest in child care and focus on strategies that build our supply of affordable, high-quality child care and ensure our existing programs are supported,” Oregon’s Early Learning Division Systems Acting Director Alyssa Chatterjee said. “Many families are struggling to access high-quality child care, and we can’t wait to address the issue.” The report culled data from various sources, including regulatory databases for licensing information on child care providers throughout the state, and Oregon’s Early Learning Division, which administers public programs such as Head Start, Preschool Promise and Baby Promise. Researchers looked at data from March 2020, right before the pandemic hit, and found a continued decline in the number of small, homebased child care provider slots. This decline has largely driven the overall loss of child care slots, as large child care centers cannot fully make up for the lack of home-based slots.
Critical role Home-based providers play a critical role in Oregon’s child care supply, Pratt said, with many families seeking out home settings for more culturally responsive care for their children. But providers often struggle financially. “It’s really hard to make it

The new report found that while the state’s total amount of state-licensed child care increased by 588 slots from 2018-2020, and the estimated number of children under the age of 5 declined by about 13,000 statewide, Oregon’s child care supply remains limited. work business-wise, because providers do not make very much money for what they’re doing,” Pratt said. “It’s hard to get new people to come into the field and say ‘I want to be a small, home-based provider.’” Pratt said the new report is a good jumping-off point for bigger questions and deeper analysis, as the existence of child care slots is only one hurdle many families face. “Child care slots can exist, but not be accessible for a whole host of reasons. When other research asks what those barriers are, the primary one is affordability,”
she said. Other barriers to access include a child care center’s hours of operation, which might not align with parents working night or weekend shifts; language and cultural compatibility; and finding care that meets the needs of children with delays or disabilities.
What’s next Oregon is working to expand access and availability of child care, with legislation like the Student Success Act directing more funding to early learning, and programs like Preschool
Promise, which provide child care and education for kids at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. “While this report shows we still have a long way to go, I am encouraged that the critical role of child care is receiving more attention than before,” Chatterjee said. “There’s wide recognition that child care is something we all need to address together.” Molly Rosbach is a member of the OSU Department of Marketing and Research team.

OHA and DEQ finalize 2021 Poachers rob spawning fish from Oregon beach monitoring list traps, threaten steelhead populations Poachers took spawning fish from the fish trap and destroyed surveillance cameras to hide their crimes during the winter steelhead run in Woodward Creek near Powers according to ODFW and OSP officials. They request the public’s assistance in identifying these individuals. Multiple people accessed the trap. One person, identified through surveillance footage, entered the trap to net fish, then shot one camera and stole another. Troopers caught up with Kaine M. Horner, 24, formerly of Myrtle Point, while he was fishing illegally in a closed section of the South Coquille River on Feb 22. They seized his rifle, net and fishing gear. Charges include criminal mischief II, unlawful taking steelhead and angling prohibited area, according to OSP Sergeant Levi Harris, who is leading the investigation. Harris is disappointed by this behavior. “These are not legal anglers,” he said, “These are opportunistic people who have no respect for the vulnerability of these fish while they are in the traps. And they might not understand the importance of these traps to ODFW.” ODFW biologists first discovered problems in early 2021 during the winter steelhead run. Several times they found the Woodward Creek trap empty after volunteers reported seeing fish, according to Mike Gray, who is the Coos-Coquille-Tenmile District fish biologist.
“We would get a call from a volunteer saying there were six or seven fish in a trap,” Gray said, “Then when we got there, the trap was empty, or there was only one fish in it. We found evidence that the trap had been damaged, so we knew someone was getting in there.” District staff contacted OSP Fish and Wildlife troopers, and mounted trail cameras to monitor the traps and nearby waterway. The first night, they saw at least three people enter the area, access the trap and then use a net to remove fish. The thefts came during a shortage of spawning fish in the Bandon Hatchery breeding program. Woodward Creek is a tributary to the South Coquille River, located near the town of Powers. The fish trap is in an area closed to the public and not easily accessed. ODFW volunteers monitor fish traps daily and when they find fish, they contact the hatchery. Biologists collect the fish, spawn them and raise smolts which are then released back into the river of origin. Gray rattles the numbers off by memory. “In the South Fork, our management goal is to release 70,000 smolts. With typical egg and fry loss, we need more than 120,000 eggs to do that. Every hen (female steelhead trout) has roughly 3,000 eggs. The math adds up to us needing about 40 pairs of fish for that waterway,” he said. Biologists netted fish in

Beach advisories are only issued for beaches that are actively being monitored within this sampling window. Other beaches will be investigated for inclusion in the upcoming and or next beach monitoring season. OBMP works with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to determine beaches that need monitoring based on several established criteria. These criteria include: pollution hazards present; previous beach monitoring data that identify water quality concerns; type and amount of beach use; and public input. As part of an adaptive sampling plan, beaches and sampling locations are routinely re-evaluated to ensure available resources best protect public health.
Officials seek input on proposal to change Oregon Dunes decibel limits Siuslaw National Forest officials are seeking public input on potential changes to decibel (noise) limits for motorized vehicles at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. The goal of the proposed changes is to reduce noise impacts on neighboring communities while being more realistically attainable by riders. The proposed decibel limits will also better align with state of Oregon regulations, provide consistency across motorized riding areas throughout the Siuslaw National Forest and will be easier to enforce. Based on years of monitoring, the sound limit of 93dBA that was established in the 1994 ODNRA management plan has been found to be unachievable by most modern, non-modified off-highway vehicles. This decibel limit is also out of alignment with state regulations, limiting opportunities for coordinated enforcement efforts. The preliminary proposal changes the decibel limit for front-engine vehicles from 93dBA to 95dBA and the limit for
all other motorized vehicles from 93dBA to 97dBA. As most noise-level complaints have stemmed from vehicles registering over 99dBA, the new limit is expected to strike the balance between allowing motorized use while addressing concerns of visitors and residents. “By raising the limit to better align with the state and being within the range that is attainable by contemporary stock vehicles, we’ll be better able to work with riders on compliance and provide the enforcement necessary to manage the noise violations that most impact our neighbors,” explained Garrit Craig, deputy district ranger for the Central Coast Ranger District and ODNRA. “We encourage members of the public to review the project information and let us know what they think.” Documents that describe the preliminary proposal, including frequently asked questions, can be found at https://www.fs.usda.gov/ project/?project=60053 in the Project Documents section. Written comments on the proposal should be submitted

GUEST COLUMN
Trump’s trade wars aren’t over yet, and you’re still losing By Thomas L. Knapp In 2018, telling us that “trade wars are good, and easy to win,” then-U.S.-president Donald Trump imposed 15-25% tariffs (versus the previous rate of 10% and the average US tariff of 1.6%) on various Chinese goods, ranging from “dental cements and other dental fillings” to “Trout, fresh or chilled, excluding fillets, other meat portions, livers and roes.” China wasn’t the only target. Trump also imposed a 20% tariff on Canadian lumber. Turns out (as if we didn’t already know from previous experiences) that trade wars are bad and nearly impossible to “win,” if “winning” means making the citizens of the country imposing tariffs more prosperous. Sure, SOME people - the owners of, and some of the workers in, the industries Trump claimed to be “protecting” - came out ahead. But everyone else lost. Trump’s tariffs aren’t the only reasons that the stuff you buy (especially stuff made of steel or wood) is more expensive now than in 2018. But they’re among those reasons. Four months into his presidency, Joe Biden seems disinclined to roll Trump’s tariffs back and bring these ruinous trade wars to an end. Why? Because in one key area, Trump and Biden were competing for the same “voter base.” That area is the Rust Belt, and the base is industrial labor. Trump won the 2016 election on the back of what we used to call “Reagan Democrats.” Like Reagan, Trump carried those states by promising to bring jobs “back” from abroad. And this has always been part of Biden’s pitch as well, a pitch he’s used to bring organized labor in on his side in every campaign for office he’s ever run. Yes, Trump and Biden both pretend that it’s “China,” not you,
GUEST COLUMN
You can turn your life around By Bryan Golden Thomas L. Knapp paying those tariffs. But according to Moody’s Investors Service, more than 90% of the tariffs on “China” are actually absorbed by U.S. importers of Chinese goods in the form of higher prices. And guess who those importers are passing the price increases onto? You, that’s who. Every extra penny you shell out for every good you buy in which tariffs are involved is essentially a campaign contribution to whichever politician keeps (or promises to keep) those tariffs in place. That includes domestically produced goods whose makers can jack up their prices because tariffs raised their foreign competitors’ costs. Tariffs are the domestic equivalent of foreign economic sanctions, which in turn are the economic equivalent of war. No, not war on “China.” War on you. Thomas L.

It’s never too late to change direction. Regardless of past mistakes, you can decide today to take a different path. Here are some suggestions to help you. The first step is to understand why you are where you are and what went wrong. You can’t turn your life around until you take responsibility for your actions. If you blame other people or circumstances, you inhibit your ability to make changes. Next, identify exactly what actions you took or decisions you made, that led to your current situation. It may not be obvious at first, but there is always a cause and effect. It may be hard to face what you have done, but it’s essential before you can turn things around. What challenges do you have to overcome in order to turn things around? Some examples are education, time, money, bad habits, relationships and attitude. Having this understanding allows you to begin to develop an action plan. Identify negative self-talk. What you say to yourself programs your mind for either success or failure. In order to turn your life around, you have to believe you can and tell yourself you can. Many people have become so used to negative self-talk that they accept it as normal. Telling yourself that you can’t do something prevents you from
accomplishing it. Identify automatic negative behavior patterns. For example, do you avoid making major decisions? Do you make impulsive decisions? Are you prone to doing things you know are wrong? These behaviors must be corrected. Look for sabotaging behavior patterns. Are you doing anything that either sabotages your success or attracts failure? Some examples might be the type of people you associate with, abrasive personality traits, spending money beyond your means, repelling people who can help you, alienating those who are a good influence, or engaging in needlessly risky behavior that has no benefit. Find and use a proven plan. Whatever mistakes you have made, you are not the first. There are many others before you who have travelled the same path. There are also numerous examples of how these people managed to turn their lives around. Look for these success stories and study the approach they used. There’s no need for you to reinvent the wheel. It’s a lot more efficient to utilize the same plan that has been proven to work for others than to figure everything out on your own. Reevaluate your needs and expectations. You change over time. You change as a result of your experiences. You don’t want to make decisions based on outdated needs
and expectations. Your goals have to fit you where you are today. Fulfilling a goal which is externally imposed, rather than emanating from your own desires, rarely leads to satisfaction, if it is attained at all. Part of this process involves distinguishing needs from wants. People get into trouble, especially financially, when they don’t accurately separate the two. Anything you can get along without is a want. Be honest in this assessment. Don’t use what others have acquired as a gauge; you are not in a competition. Copy successful people who are where you want to be. Whatever your goals may be, there are others who have already attained them. How did they do it? What approach did they take? You will avoid a lot of mistakes by emulating their successful behavior. Learning from their mistakes is much more efficient than learning from your own. These steps will help you turn your life around. While you can’t undo or change the past, you can take steps to get onto as positive a path as possible. You are never too old, and it’s never too late to start turning your life around.

Letters to the Editor Fair coverage I am troubled by your mostly conservative coverage of important issues. As one example, I cite the recent guest opinion article by Sally Pipes in which she states that drug companies should have freedom to control drug prices and government should stay out of it. Note that she is part of the Pacific Research Institute, a rightwing think tank, whose mission states: “The mission of the Pacific Research Institute (PRI) is to
champion freedom, opportunity, and personal responsibility for all individuals by advancing free-market solutions.” Now there is nothing wrong with this mission statement, but the published opinion by Ms. Pipes is totally one-sided. I would prefer to see opposing arguments published alongside your published guest opinions. At the very least, you should inform your viewers what connections the authors have with political organizations.
Although a mere lay person, I have done many years of research into this and related medical issues, and it is my opinion, as well as the majority of experts in this field, that both private enterprise and government are needed to provide an effective health care system. I believe you are remiss if you do not acknowledge this and publish all sides of important issues such as these. Colin Ingram Bandon

OBITUARIES Marian Ilene Rogers July 27, 1943 – May 15, 2021
Photo by Greg Yamada
Twin mule deer fawns in Sunriver.
Young wildlife are rarely orphaned, so leave them where you find them Memorial Day weekend marks the start of summer — and birthing season for Oregon’s elk and deer herds. Elk calves and deer fawns are born from late May through mid-June. Fawns and calves are most vulnerable to predation in their first few weeks of life when they can’t run with the herd. Their mothers will hide them in brush and go off to forage for food some distance away, sometimes for long periods so as to not call attention to their young. (A fawn or calf’s spotted coat helps camouflage them as they stay motionless except when nursing. They also have very little odor as another protection against attracting predators.) But each year, well-intentioned people mistake a young fawn or calf hidden by its mother as permanently abandoned or orphaned and remove it from the wild to “save” it. Instead, this action drastically reduces its chance to survive in the wild. When removed from the wild, the animal misses the chance to learn where to seek cover, what to eat and how to escape from predators and other dangers. “Sadly, we see dozens of fawns and calves that have their lifespan drastically shortened each year because
people don’t understand they aren’t actually orphaned,” said Brian Wolfer, ODFW wildlife program manager “Please never assume a calf, fawn or other young animal is orphaned. Don’t remove it from the forest, or your backyard. When wildlife biologists get the call that someone has picked one up, the advice is always the same: Put it back. “The best thing you can do is just to leave it alone and don’t let your pets near it,” continued Wolfer. The outcome of a life in the wild is so much better than in captivity that ODFW will try to foster calves and fawns removed from the wild with other herds—putting the young animal back in the wild with a herd that isn’t its own in hopes another animal will raise it. “Fostering is the next best option for a young calf or fawn removed from the wild that can’t be returned to where it was taken from—and a better option than being in captivity,” said Wolfer. Pets should also be kept away from wildlife. Deer and elk see dogs as a threat to their young so may act aggressively in response. “Give deer and elk some extra room this time of year if possible to prevent any conflict,” said
DEAR ABBY
Wolfer. Because of the damage it can do to both wildlife and people, removing an animal from the wild is illegal under Oregon wildlife laws. (ORS 497.308 – No person shall remove from its natural habitat or acquire and hold in captivity any live wildlife in violation of the wildlife laws.) A male deer fawn that weighs under 8 pounds at birth can grow to 280 pounds. Deer and elk are naturally wary of humans— but if removed from the wild and raised by people they lose that fear and can go on to behave aggressively and threaten people. The advice to leave animals in the wild applies to all wildlife—including adult and young marine mammals that are commonly seen alone resting on rocks or the beach in spring and summer. Beachgoers are asked to stay away from resting seals and sea lions and keep dogs away from these animals as well. Marine mammal strandings should be reported to OSP’s hotline at 1-800-452-7888. If you are certain an animal is orphaned because you saw its parent die, please call ODFW, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or OSP for advice.

FRIEND DEFLECTS UNWANTED QUESTIONS BY LYING
DEAR ABBY: I went to lunch with “Anita,” who proceeded to question me about how I know my friend “Gail.” It seems like an innocent question, but Gail and I met in Alcoholics Anonymous. I didn’t tell Anita we met in AA because it would’ve destroyed Gail’s anonymity, so I said we met through mutual friends. I didn’t mind one question, but Anita kept probing about “mutual friends.” I wound up fibbing and saying, “folks at my church.” It managed to change the direction of the conversation, but I wish people wouldn’t pry like that. This also happens when I’m at a party and someone asks me why I’m not drinking. It’s easy to respond to one question with a general answer, but a lot of times I encounter folks who keep pushing. I would like to encourage your readers to be sensitive to these kinds of situations and to allow people their privacy. Thanks, Abby. -- ANONYMOUS AND SOBER IN THE SOUTH DEAR ANONYMOUS: So would I, and you’re welcome. There is no shortage of nosy questions that people don’t hesitate to ask these days, as anyone who has read this column is aware. However, to many people, membership in AA is a badge of honor. When “pushed” to answer why they are not drinking alcohol they are upfront about the fact they are in AA. Of course, one does not have to have a drinking problem to avoid alcohol. Some people refrain because they don’t feel well when they drink; others do it because they are taking antibiotics or want to live a healthier lifestyle. The bottom line is, you do not have to answer every question that’s asked of you.
DEAR ABBY: When my husband of 19 years died suddenly 15 months ago (we had no children), my financial situation changed considerably. I have had trouble paying bills, and my water was turned off this morning. When I told my siblings and their families, their answers ranged from “I can’t help you,” to “Gee, that sucks!” to “Come have meatloaf for dinner.” My niece, who is financially well-off, commented that it sucked. I told them all that I HAVE NO WATER. I do have a five-day-a-week job. I just don’t have a lot of money because of so many things that have happened. I’ll have the money in a week or so, but I can’t live without water for that long. Is it wrong to want them to offer to help me? Am I expecting too much? If the situation were reversed, I would offer help immediately. -- IN A TOUGH SPOT IN KENTUCKY DEAR TOUGH SPOT: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband. No, it’s not wrong to want your relatives to offer to help you out with a bridge loan until the money you’re expecting arrives. However, because they didn’t offer, ASK them for one, and be willing to sign a note if they wish. Then cross your fingers that one of them agrees. If none of them do, approach your employer and ask for an advance on your salary, or contact the water company and ask if you can strike a deal. I wish you luck. ------------------------------Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.

A Celebration of life will be held for Marian Ilene Rogers, 77, of Coos Bay, (formerly of Lincoln City) at 1:00 PM Saturday June 5th 2021 at Life Change Church, 200 Ackerman Ave. Coos Bay. Cremation rites have been held under the direction of Nelson’s Bay Area Mortuary. Our mother, Marian Ilene Rogers was born July 27, 1943 in Salem to our grandparents, William Edwin and Florence Mildred (Cox) Rogers. Mother was the second child born out of five children. Her siblings preceded by death, the eldest, Elsie Lehman of Amity, Oregon, John Rogers of Roosevelt, Washington, Gilbert Rogers of Lincoln City. The youngest still residing in Roosevelt, Washington, Rebecca Rogers. Our mother grew up on Drift Creek Road in Lincoln City with her younger siblings. There she attended Taft Elementary School and graduated from Taft
High School in June 1961. As a young teen she waited tables at a small café in the Taft district of Lincoln City. Shortly afterwards she moved to Portland and met my dad, Floyd “Don” Donald Hall. They were married November 6, 1965. They raised us three children, William John Hall of Dallas, Oregon. Jeffery Dean Hall of Powers, and Donna Suzanne Rayburn of Coos Bay. Our Mom also help my dad raise his five sons and loved them as her own, Floyd Hall Jr., Dennis Hall, Larry Hall, Randy Hall and Rocky Hall. With all these kids she was the proud grandmother of 26 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. Our dad and brothers, Randy and Floyd Jr. have preceded mom in death. Marian loved children. She intermittently fostered others while raising her own children and even after we were grown up and moved out. She was an advocate for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) and volunteered her time for many years supporting the wellbeing of children. She was always welcoming our cousins and neighbor kids into her home. She was an excellent cook and was generous at sharing cookies or anything that she baked in the oven. Mom loved being a grama and enjoyed doing crafts with her grandkids. Mom had a way
of making you feel special and loved. She was a good and patient listener when you needed someone talk to. When our mother wasn’t raising kids, she was sewing, generally making quilts. She would sew costumes for Halloween and hand embroidery shirt designs on clothing. She took jobs outside of the home as well. She was the manager of a candy store in Lincoln City. This job made her a very popular grama. In her early fifties she moved to Coos Bay and returned to school at Southwestern Oregon Community College. There she discovered she had a flair for writing. She produced short stories and poems that were published in the college’s “Beacon” magazine and became an Editor of the magazine. She also had one of her stories selected and published in a well-known literary magazine, “Talus & Scree”. She graduated from Southwestern with an Associate’s degree with honors in English. In her passing, it is now the time to look back and appreciate the mother, grandmother and friend that she was, these are the good memories that we can cherish. Arrangements are under the direction of Nelson’s Bay Area Mortuary, 405 Elrod Ave., Coos Bay, Oregon 541/2674216

Be aware of cyanobacteria blooms in water this summer As summer approaches, and more communities and recreational areas around the state begin reopening amid the COVID-19 outbreak, Oregon Health Authority reminds people heading outdoors to be on the lookout for cyanobacteria blooms that can produce toxins when recreating in Oregon lakes, rivers and reservoirs. Cyanobacteria are beneficial bacteria found in all freshwater, worldwide. Under the right conditions — when weather, sunlight, water temperature, nutrients and water chemistry are ideal — cyanobacteria can multiply into
blooms in any water body. Many blooms are harmless, but some can produce cyanotoxins that make people and animals sick. Exposure to cyanotoxins occurs when water is swallowed while swimming or when water droplets are inhaled during high-speed activities such as water-skiing or wakeboarding. Symptoms of exposure to cyanotoxins include diarrhea, cramps, vomiting, numbness, dizziness and fainting. Although cyanotoxins are not absorbed through the skin, people with sensitive skin can develop a red, raised rash when wading,

playing or swimming in or around a bloom. Children and pets are particularly sensitive to illness because of their size and activity levels. Dogs can get extremely ill and even die within minutes to hours of exposure to cyanotoxins by drinking the water, licking their fur or eating the toxins from floating mats or dried crust along the shore. Similar to dogs, livestock and wildlife can become ill and die after drinking from waterbodies, troughs or other sources of drinking water affected by blooms and potential toxins. Only a fraction of freshwater bodies in Oregon are monitored for cyanotoxins. Due to continued safety concerns related to COVID-19, OHA expects visual monitoring and sampling of affected water bodies to be less than normal. For this reason, it will be even more important as more recreational areas open and the summer recreation season begins, for people to visually observe any water body they choose to recreate in before taking the plunge. OHA recommends that everyone stay out of water that looks foamy, scummy, thick like pea-green or blue-green paint or where brownish-red mats are present. If you are unsure, follow OHA’s guidance of “When in doubt, stay out.” Open recreational areas where blooms are identified can still be enjoyed for activities such as camping, hiking, biking, picnicking and bird watching. By being aware of signs of a bloom and taking appropriate precautions to reduce or eliminate your exposure, you can also enjoy water activities such as canoeing, fishing and boating, as long as speeds do not create excessive water spray, and fish are cleaned appropriately.

Marshfield boys top Spartans in overtime The World
John Gunther, The World
North Bend’s Bella Jones competes in the 500-yard freestyle during the season-opening swim meet for the Bulldogs.
Jones thrilled to be back in pool JOHN GUNTHER The World
COOS BAY — Bella Jones probably always expected to be in the pool on her 18th birthday. But she probably never thought it would be for a high school swim meet. Nor would she have expected to be racing in the backstroke or walking to the starting area on crutches or having athletes from the rival school openly cheering for her in every race. But in this weird pandemic year with switched-up sports seasons, the high school swim season is at the end of the year, along with the other traditional winter sports of basketball and wrestling, so the North Bend senior spent her 18th birthday in the Mingus Park in the season-opening swim meet. That change gave Jones a chance to rehabilitate from a serious knee injury from soccer in time to com-
plete her senior swimming season. And the ongoing pandemic has meant North Bend can’t swim it its own pool, so the Bulldogs are working out together with the Pirates, bringing a natural kinship among the two teams. For Jones, just getting to finish out her high school career is a blessing. “I’m just glad to be back in the water being able to swim,” she said. “It’s enough for me at the moment.” It’s impressive that Jones made it back from her injury in time to swim. This year she decided to add soccer as a sport and was playing goalie for the Bulldogs when she took an opponent’s foot to the knee while going for a ball. She shattered and dislocated her kneecap, requiring surgery. Jones said the injury, though bad, was a blessing in one way, since it kept her out of the pool for several weeks. “To have that break was good for me,” she said. “Since I’ve been
swimming, I’ve never had that break.” As for the backstroke, it was an event Jones could do without having to dive of the starting blocks, something she hadn’t been cleared to do by her doctor in time for the first meet — she also swam that leg of the medley relay and swam the 500 freestyle, which doesn’t require a fast start. “It’s been years (since I raced backstroke),” Jones said, adding that for the medley relay, she usually swims the butterfly leg. “It’s weird,” she said. “I’m just glad to be back.” Jones also is enjoying swimming with the Marshfield students — athletes are grouped together not by school, but by whether they are in the a.m. or p.m. cohorts at their respective schools. “It’s good,” Jones said. “Everybody needed it to bond, “It definitely brought the people back together. Kids need the sports.”
Bulldogs, Pirates get wins at swim meet The World COOS BAY — North Bend and Marshfield both had multiple winners during the second swim meet of the high school season at Mingus Park on Friday. It was the second of three straight Fridays with meets at Mingus Park to start the season for the Bulldogs and Pirates, who are sharing training time at the outdoor pool in the Coos Bay Park, as well as for Reedsport. Cottage Grove and Phoenix also joined the three South Coast schools Friday. North Bend’s girls won eight of the 11 events, including two wins each by Bella Jones (100- and 200yard freestyle) and Natalie Cheal (200 individual medley and 100 butterfly. Rebecca Witharm won the 500 freestyle for North Bend and was second in the 50 freestyle. Gillian Baxter won the 100 breaststroke and North Bend also won both the medley and 400 freestyle relays. Marshfield’s Mira Matthews, who missed the first meet because of the state track meet, won the 50 freestyle and was second to Jones in the 100 freestyle. The Pirates also won the 200 freestyle relay. Reedsport’s Gesme Kramer was third in the 50 freestyle and sixth in the 100 freestyle. Finley Cheal won the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke and Mavrick Macalino won the individual medley and 100 freestyle. Zach Holt won the breaststroke and was third in the 200 freestyle for North Bend, which also won the medley and 400 freestyle relays. Marshfield got individual wins
by Robert Kliewer in the 100 butterfly (he finished .30 seconds ahead of brother Marcus) and Trey Kirk in the 500 freestyle. The Pirates also won the 200 freestyle relay. Aiden Bright finished third in the 50 freestyle and sixth in the breaststroke for Reedsport.

North Bend wrestlers top Marshfield The World North Bend’s wrestling team beat Marshfield 36-27 in a dual meet Thursday. The Bulldogs won four of the six contested matches. The schools also were able to get in a few extra matches. Among the counting matches,
North Bend got pins by Dishawn Willis over Riley Murphy at 132 pounds, Liam Buskerud over John Lemmons at 160 pounds, Cutter Woodworth over Hayden Murphy at 220 pounds and Neal Walter over Aiden Barnhart at 285 pounds. Marshfield’s wins were a pin by Miguel Velazquez over Raine Carle at 195 pounds (in just nine seconds)
and Spencer Pederson by decision over Reggie Watson at 106 pounds. In the bonus matches, Marshfield’s Rowdy Lewis pinned Wyatt Smith, while Lemmons pinned Tim Sarnecky and Velazquez over Woodworth. Smith pinned Murphy and Ingram had a decision over Marshfield’s Chris Thomas.
Marshfield’s boys basketball team bounced back from a loss to Siuslaw two days earlier with a big overtime win at home Saturday against Marist Catholic. “That was a great effort by all the boys,” Marshfield coach Casey McCord noted, adding that the Pirates didn’t allow the Spartans any offensive rebounds in the first half. When the teams got to the overtime session, Marshfield limited Marist Catholic to just two points. “The program is proud of the tenacity and grit that was shown by the players today,” McCord said. Dom Montiel led the Pirates with 19 points, many coming off free throws. Mason Ainsworth had 13 points and Pierce Davidson 10 for the Pirates, who improved to 2-1 through the first week of the Sky-Em League season. Ben Morehouse kept Marist Catholic in the game by making five 3-points and scoring 22 points for the Spartans, who are 1-2, having also lost to league-leading Junction City. The Pirates have their first meeting with the unbeaten Tigers on the road Thursday, after hosting Elmira on Tuesday. BANDON 51, COQUILLE 34: The visiting Tigers handed the Red Devils their first loss and kept their own record perfect by limiting the host Red Devils to 19 total points through the first three quarters. Trevor Angove had 17 points and Luke Brown eight for the Tigers, who led 34-19 through the third quarter. Bo Messerle and Julien Temps had seven points eight to lead the Red Devils, who also were battling foul trouble throughout the game as well. “The boys played well,” Bandon coach Vince Quattrocchi said. “Their defense is getting better and showed this afternoon. The boys are playing well together. “I was proud of the intensity the boys brought and kept up the whole game.” Bandon also topped Myrtle Point 43-37 on Thursday night, coming from behind in the final five minutes. Brothers Owen and Luke Brown both hit 3-pointers and Angove had a steal and layup that led to a threepoint play. Another steal and threepoint play helped seal the win. “They kept their poise and pulled out the win,” Quattrocchi said after that win. “It was a great experience and they learned how to finish a close game.” NORTH BEND 54, REEDSPORT 23: The Bulldogs got a win over a South Coast opponent for the second straight day to improve to 2-3 on the season. North Bend’s win over the Brave, who remain winless on the season, came a day after they beat Myrtle Point 61-55. Both wins gave the Bulldogs a chance to play multiple players throughout. Brady Messner had 18 points, Sam Mickelson 13 and Spencer Barker 12 in the win over the Bobcats and five teammates also scored. Gabe Swan had 25 points and Carson Bradford nine for Myrtle Point, which was playing the third of four games in four nights, which
all turned out to be losses when the Bobcats fell to Waldport 59-49 on Saturday.
GIRLS BANDON 49, COQUILLE 22: The Tigers kept up a perfect start to the season with their win on the road Saturday. Olivia Thompson had 14 points, Kennedy Turner 10 and Sterling Williams nine in the win over the Red Devils. Maya Salazar had 15 points, but Bandon’s interior defense limited Coquille’s Hailey Combie to just four points. The Tigers had also beaten Myrtle Point on Thursday night, topping the Bobcats 52-32. They broke open a tight game by outscoring the Bobcats 20-9 in the second quarter. Katelyn Senn had 16 points, Turner 12, Thompson 11 and Carlee Freitag eight in that win as Bandon won for the fourth time during the week. Maddi Reynolds had 10 points and Hayden weekly nine for the Bobcats. NORTH BEND 50, MYRTLE POINT 30: The Bulldogs beat the visiting Bobcats on Friday night, outscoring Myrtle Point 11-1 in the first quarter and never looking back. Trinity Barker had 16 points, Caitlyn Anderson 11 and Adrianna Frank nine for the Bulldogs in the win. “Caitlyn Anderson did a great job of getting to the basket and drawing fouls,” North Bend coach Mike Forrester said. “She put a lot of pressure on them with her quickness.” North Bend was strong on defense all night, Forrester added. “The girls did a great job of seeing the ball and giving lots of early help.” That, combined with the offense, lifted North Bend. “Adrianna hit a couple shots early and Trinity did a really good job of rebounding and hitting some big shots,” Forrester said. Weekly had 18 points for Myrtle Point, which ended up losing for the third night in a row when they fell to Waldport 43-29 on Saturday. Weekly was not available for that game because of a family commitment, Myrtle Point coach Jennifer Sproul said. Reynolds led the Bobcats in scoring and with tough defense, but the team was unable to convert a number of opportunities in a close game. “We were only down five in the fourth, but then missed several easy opportunities to take the game back,” Sproul said. “We will get there, just need to get a break in the schedule to get some actual practice time.” North Bend, meanwhile, beat Reedsport 47-27 on Saturday to improve to 4-1 on the season. Haley Reeves had nine points and Kylee Lambert seven in that victory. “Haley is going a great job of getting to the basket,” Forrester said. “She finishes at the hoop as good as anyone on our team.” The Bulldogs finished their stretch of games against South Coast teams in the Sunset Conference on Monday, when they hosted Coquille. Results were not available by press time.

This week in Coos County history: May 30-June 1 100 YEARS — 1921 Minimum local wage now $3 Most of the mills have cut to that amount Buehner and Bay Park Companies make announcement — Oregon Export will pay $3.20. In conformity with the Loyal Legion wage readjustment recently agreed upon to take effect June 1, practically all of the Coos Bay mills tomorrow will be on $3 a day as a minimum for common labor. The Buehner company stated today that the minimum would be $3, and that there would be cuts with the higher paid men. Manager Henry Buehner said that there were being some adjustments to make the scale of wages more equitable for all classes of labor. In the camps of the Bueh-
ner company the minimum will also be $3. The board charged in practically all of the camps is to be $1.05. The Oregon Export Company has made the minimum at the mill $3.20 a day.
Fire season starts today Protection of the forests now being arranged No one is allowed to burn brush or start fires without a permit until Oct. 1 The fire season in the forests begins today. From now on until Oct. 1 no one is allowed to start a fire even on their own property without a permit. To burn slashing or brush a permit must be first secured and these will be issued in cases where the fires will not endanger the timber. The permits can be secured from Chief Warden J.M. Thomas of the Coos County Fire Patrol association, from Carl Davis, the secretary,
who has offices at the C.A. Smith company building, or from W.J. Conrad in the Coke building. Those who start fires without a permit are liable to arrest and conviction. Deputy wardens will be stationed at the different points in the timbered areas where there is most danger of fire breaking out. These men will be sent to their posts about June 15 or as soon as the weather conditions make it necessary.
Seven finish at Coos River High A class of seven was graduated at the Coos River high school last Friday with an appropriate program under the direction of Principal Goad. One of the graduates, Miss Lucy Lenora Bessey, established an unusual record. In the four years of high school she was not absent or tardy and didn’t have a grade below ninety. The graduates were Lucy
Lenora Bessey, Mary E. Smith, Ellen Ellyda Enegren, Ruth O. Bessey, Jennie Pearl Bowman, Volma Austin and Henry H. Smith.
non-refundable can or bottle will be over in Oregon. The deposit will be five cents for all cans and for all bottles except those bottles of uniform size and shape, such as the “stubby” that can be reused interchangeably by different beverage manufacturers. The deposit will be two cents on those. The nickel deposit on cans along with a provision of the act that prohibits the sale of pull tab cans will probably eliminate the use of cans entirely — a fact that has national can manufacturers in near panic because of the prospect that other states may follow Oregon’s lead.
50 YEARS — 1971 Five cent bottle battle ends in Oregon house Deposit bill passes; governor to sign it SALEM (UPI) — One of the hardest fought battles of the Oregon Legislature — involving a mere five cents — ended today with House approval, 52-8, of a bill requiring a deposit on all beer and carbonated soft drink cans and bottles. The bill now goes to Gov. Tom McCall who, in his inaugural address in January, designated it top priority legislation. The new law will not take effect until Oct. 1, 1972, but when it does, the day of the
20 YEARS — 2001 Stiegeler claims NCAA javelin title for Ducks John Stiegeler pumped his fist in the air and then started sharing high-fives with his fellow javelin competitors in the early evening at Hayward Field Wednesday. Who could blame him? With one mighty throw, Stiegeler, the former Marshfield standout, set a new University of Oregon school record and clinched the NCAA title on the first day of the Division I track and field championships in Eugene. Stiegeler’s toss of 252 feet, 10 inches, was more than 13 feet farther than runner-up Vesa Jappinen of the University of Texas El Paso and helped give Oregon the first-day team lead in the four-day NCAA meet.

“I’m happy to get the win,” Stiegeler said. “It’s been a great day.” The same could not be said for Trevor woods, another former Marshfield standout, who no-heighted in the pole vault in a nightmarish ending for his freshman season at Oregon. “I’m just real disappointed,” Woods said. “I just didn’t really end the season how I was looking forward to with the Pac-10s and the NCAAs. “I haven’t felt this disappointed in so long.” But after he was done vaulting, Woods stuck around to support Steigeler, a redshirt sophomore who actually began his college years at Oregon State University trying to become a college football player. Stiegeler wanted to become Oregon State’s kicker until coach Mike Riley left for the San Diego Chargers and the Beavers landed Ryan Cesca, the all-Pac-10 kicker last fall. Stiegeler missed track, having been one of the state’s top javelin throwers as a senior at Marshfield, and Oregon State doesn’t have a track program. So he transferred to Oregon and worked his way onto the track team. It turned out to be a great decision, with success coming a lot quicker than even Stiegeler imagined. These stories were found in the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum newspaper repository stored in Marshfield High School courtesy of Coos Bay Schools.
