The Sound of Music’ coming to the stage

BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

The historic Liberty Theatre is coming alive with ‘The Sound of Music.’

The Little Theatre on the Bay is bringing the timeless classic to the stage starting on Friday, March 15 and continuing through April 7 with shows on Friday and Saturdays evenings, along with Sunday matinees.

‘The Sound of Music’ is considered to be one of the most beloved musicals of all time.

Set in Austria in 1938, the musical features an exuberant young governess who brings music and joy back to a broken family, only to

face danger and intrigue as the Nazis gain power.

Little Theatre on the Bay’s Aymee Peder, will be starring as Maria in the musical, alongside a dynamic cast of almost 30 performers of all ages.

“The story follows Maria, who is sent to the Von Trapp family because they need a governess. She is sent on this mission to prepare herself to make the entry into her vowed nun life,” Peder said.

“She teaches the children how to sing and how to express themselves joyfully. And some of that rubs off on the stodgy captain. And the home is lled with music,”

the local performer said.

Unfortunately, there is a darkness looming in the background.

“Act 1 is vibrant, happy and wonderful, and Act 2 has got a little bit of darkness to it. But there's always light in darkness. There is some good that can come out of it. And you can see that in the play,” Peder said.

Peder said she is excited The Little Theatre on the Bay is bringing ‘The Sound of Music’ to the local stage.

“I think everybody has a soft spot in their heart for the Sound of Music,” she said.

Those who have only seen the cinematic version may be

surprised to hear a few different songs and story variations in the stage version. But what remains the same is the beautiful music and heartfelt characters, she said. Peder describes her cast mates as “a group of wonderful humans.” Many of the adults in the cast have performed in previous Liberty Theatre productions. Peder said she is also excited to work alongside many of the children whom she directed in the summer children’s program.

“It is so fun to be able to be across from on stage and see how they have grown and are

Fire ghters get critical hands-on training

More than 200 career and volunteer re ghters from nearly 100 re agencies throughout Oregon attended the 19th annual Winter Fire School at the Oregon Public Safety Academy in Salem on Feb. 24 and Feb. 25.

The two-day event was hosted by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) and included nine classes offered by the National Fire Academy, DPSST, and the City of Dallas Fire & EMS Department. Attendees included re ghters from city and tribal re departments, re districts, and wildland re ghters.

Classroom training sessions covered a wide range of topics including leadership, incident command, health and safety programs, tactical decision making, re prevention education, and community risk reduction. The event also included hands-on train-

ing sessions on vehicle extrication, ammable gas and liquid emergencies, extinguishing vehicle res, forceable entry, re ghter safety and survival, pumper operator simulations, and heavy vehicle operation.

“DPSST is proud to put on the annual Winter Fire School, which is the Fire Program’s biggest event of the year,” DPSST’s interim Fire Program Manager Kayla Ballrot said. “Oregon’s re ghters will apply the knowledge gained from the weekend’s event, from hands-on classes to leadership training, to make their communities safer places to live. We received great student and instructor feedback and are already looking forward to next year.”

Winter Fire School is offered free of charge and is held over a weekend to accommodate the schedules of volunteers who comprise most of the Oregon re service.

The critical training is designed to prepare firefighters for a variety if challenges, including vehicle extrication, flammable gas and liquid emergencies, and firefighter safety and survival

Marine reserves protection plan awaits Governor’s signature

The Oregon Senate has passed House Bill 4132, which builds on the success of Oregon’s marine reserves program.

Based on the recommendations from the Oregon State University10-year review study, the bill calls on the Ore-

gon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) to create a management plan for Oregon’s ve marine reserves that will continue to protect the Oregon Coast, a vital economic and cultural hub for the state, according to a release from the Oregon Senate and House Republicans’ of ces.

Sen. Dick Anderson (R - Lincoln City), carried HB 4132 on the Senate oor.

“This bill builds on the ndings of the Marine Reserves Program by communicating vital scienti c research back to communities to ensure collaboration between coastal stakeholders –yielding informed policy

decisions in the future,” Anderson said. “This is the Oregon way.”

The bill also directs ODFW to work with tribes, sheries, and local communities to make sure that the scienti c work being done on the reserves incorporates regional knowledge and is usable for the communities on the coast.

“Oregon’s marine reserves are so important to the long-term health and stability of our beautiful coast. This bill is going to help this program stay exible and adaptive, which is especially important as our coastal communities navigate the uncertainties of climate change,” Senate Energy and Environment

Committee Chair Senator Janeen Sollman (D - Hillsboro) said.

Both Senate Democrats and Republicans agree that protecting Oregon’s vital natural resources is a key priority for the 2024 session, according to the release.

HB 4132 now heads to the Governor’s desk.

Pigs on the Wing:

A Pink Floyd Retrospective 7 pm, April 26th Egyptian Theatre Pigs on the Wing’s 20232024 tour, “A Pink Floyd Retrospective”, will feature a meticulously curated collection of the very best of classic-era Pink Floyd cuts organized into 2 distinct sets. Rather than performing a single album from start to end, expect to hear the band focus on their favorite sections of the classic albums, including hits, deep cuts, and the band’s trademark willingness to explore the sonic space in experimental improvisation. Fans can expect an immersive visual show in a don’t-miss event for any Pink Floyd fan! From its garage-rock roots in 2006 as a one-off show, to full album productions and performing for thousands of fans each year, Portland Oregon based Pigs on the Wing have built a loyal following dedicated to the band’s high energy take on Pink Floyd’s music. All members of Pigs on the Wing are seasoned veterans of the Paci c NW rock scene and are unapologetic in bringing their wide-ranging musical in uences to the table. Setting the band aside from other tribute rock acts,

Pigs on the Wing balance a decidedly un-tribute-like attitude towards the music with precision to detail and a deep understanding of the importance of Pink Floyd's music in many fans' lives. TICKETS: Pigs on the Wing - A Pink Floyd Retrospective: Tour 2024

Claude O. Coffman

March 4, 1928 – February 28, 2024

Claude Oliver Coffman, 95, passed away on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, at Bay Area Hospital in Coos Bay with many of his loving family members and friends by his side. There is no doubt he was greeted by his wife of 75 years and his parents as he peacefully made the journey into his new life.

A funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 16, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints, 3355 Virginia Avenue in North Bend.

A graveside committal will follow at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery in Coos Bay.

Claude was born on March 4, 1928 to Claude Corwin Coffman and Annie Laura ( Goodman ) Coffman at the Wesley McAuley Hospital in Marshfield, Oregon. He graduated from North Bend High School, and earned two Master’s Degrees from both Oregon State University and Cornell University. He taught school for both the Coos Bay and North Bend School Districts. He had a number of other careers including building

houses, a cement business, working in a mill, logging, and as a young child, delivering newspapers. All of these jobs he did in the North Bend and Coos Bay Area.

William Woods Sr.

March 26, 1939 – January 17, 2024

In Loving Memory of a True Cowboy: William Alvin Woods, 84 yrs.

It is with solemn hearts that we announce the passing of William Alvin Woods, a true cowboy. Bill left to be with his beloved Dot on January 17, 2024, at the age of 84, in La Pine, OR, and leaves behind a legacy of strength, honesty, loyalty, and the truest definition of tough.

Bill was a devoted husband to his departed Dorothy (Bowles) Woods, the love of his life. Together, they weathered the storms and relished the sunsets, creating an unbreakable bond over the years. As father to Robin, Ron, and Gina, Bill instilled in his children the values of hard work, ethics, and an unwavering devotion to family.

Born in Covelo, CA, on the Indian Reservation (by chance) he was a real man's man, who made fast friends wherever he went. He took a lot of pride in the work he did throughout his life and always

earned the deepest respect and admiration from those he worked for. From being a logger "skinning mountains" and clearing landings on a cat, digging holes and climbing poles as a lineman for PG&E, or building roads, harvesting hay and moving cattle on top of his horse Danny, as foreman of the Powers Ranch, "our Cowboy always rode for the brand" and everyone knew that about him. His legacy extends to his surviving children: daughter Robin Washburn, Nokomis, FL, son Ron Woods, Invercargill, NZ, and son-in-law Greg Roush, Azalea, OR, and resonates in the memories of his eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren. Whether sitting next to him while running big equipment, working for him on the ranch during hay season and round up, or sitting around an open campfire, playing Jezebelle (his guitar) singing his cowboy

Joyce DeBellis

April 29, 1934 – February 27, 2024

Joyce Kathleen DeBellis, 89, of Springfield passed away surrounded by family in Eugene on February 27th, 2024. She will be remembered by all who knew her as kind, caring, and welcoming.

songs, "Pappa" will forever be remembered for his time shared, the values he taught, the true grit he displayed and the love he had for each of them. So, we bid farewell to our very dear cowboy, and will remember the gentle soul that deeply yearned to be reunited with his Dot. May their love continue to blossom in the fields of eternal green and may Bill's spirit find the peace he so earnestly sought. Rest in peace, dear cowboy. You are loved and will be profoundly missed.

Joyce was born in Williston, North Dakota on April 29th, 1934 to Wilfred and Ruby Delaney. When the family moved west to Washington in search of better opportunities, Joyce elected to stay in North Dakota to finish high school. Her independent streak was becoming apparent to everyone. After graduating from Epping High School in 1951, Joyce also moved to the Seattle area where she enlisted in the U.S. Navy. She was attached to the Thirteenth Naval District and stationed in Maryland and the Seattle area over the next 3 years. Her service to her country was always a source of pride.

Joyce met the love of her life, Sam DeBellis (Sr) during her time in western Washington. Sam worked at Weyerhaeuser in Everett where some of Joyce’s family members were employed. After their marriage in Vancouver, WA on February 4th, 1955, they moved to Oregon. Sam had intended on finding a job at Weyerhaeuser in Klamath Falls but instead took a side trip to the Oregon coast and

found Weyerhaeuser in North Bend. Instead of Klamath Falls, Sam and Joyce began their new lives together in Coos Bay where they would put down roots and call the area home for over 30 years. They celebrated 50 years of marriage in 2005. Joyce was a homemaker and loved the job of raising her family. She is still remembered by her son’s friends as one of the best room mothers that Bunker Hill Elementary School has ever seen.

For employment reasons, Joyce and Sam moved to the Eugene area in the 1980s where Sam retired. As much as they loved their own kids, the grandchildren always brought them great joy. Joyce was blessed with three grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Not a family member’s birthday went by without Joyce baking their favorite cake. Christmas cookies were always baked during the season with the assistance of a grandkid or two. Joyce studied and learned from her Italian motherin-law how to make spaghetti sauce from an old family recipe. When family or friends visited for any kind of special occasion, Joyce’s spaghetti was likely on the menu. Countless friends and family members couldn’t have asked for a better wife, mom, sister, cousin, and

and Jeanette Casey; daughters, Kim and Misty; and twin brother, Larry Ross. She was also blessed with many grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Linda was born March 16, 1944 in Saint Helens, Oregon, to Thomas and Eva Ross. She went to see the Lord February 27, 2024.

Linda enjoyed spending time with her family, hunting, fishing, gardening and collecting rocks.

She is survived by her husband, Richard Coleman; sons, Ed and Jennifer Casey, Todd

especially grandmother. Joyce’s memory will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her.

Joyce was preceded in death by her parents, husband Sam (Sr), sisters Delores, Mary, Linda, and brother Paul. She is survived by her sons Sam DeBellis, Jr. (Julie) and Frank DeBellis, grandchildren Lindsey (Beveridge) DeBellis (Ian Beveridge), Matthew DeBellis (Lily), and Ty Johnson (Annie). She is also survived by her great grandchildren Isaac Beveridge (3), Emma Johnson (6), and Grayson Johnson (3).

A graveside service will be planned for both Joyce and Sam later this summer at Sunset Memorial Park in Coos Bay. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Bald Faced Truth Foundation helping kids in Art, Music, Education and Athletics, at baldfacedtruthfoundation.org.

A special thank you to Peace Health Hospice, as well as all of the caring staff at South Hills Rehabilitation Center in Eugene.

social assistance (+1,100 jobs) and manufacturing (+500).

Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment dropped by 4,900 jobs in January following a revised gain of 1,900 jobs in December, according to the Oregon Employment Department.

Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment dropped by 4,900 jobs, or -0.2%, between January 2023 and January 2024. The private sector cut 15,200 jobs, or -0.9%, over the most recent 12-month period.

By the numbers January’s losses were largest in professional and business services (-1,700 jobs); leisure and hospitality (-1,600); other services (-1,400), transportation, warehousing, and utilities (-1,200); and construction (-600).

Gains in January were largest in health care and

Job losses in four major industries stood out, each down by between 3,700 and 9,500 jobs. These industries are information; professional and business services; manufacturing; and retail trade. Five other major industries had smaller losses, between 700 and 2,200 jobs. In contrast, health care

and social assistance is up 13,400 jobs, or 4.8%, while government is up 10,300 jobs, or 3.4%, in the 12 months through January. Annual revisions indicate less robust construction employment than originally estimated, according to the state employment department’s report. Construction employed 116,700 in January, which was close to its headcount during each of the past 18 months. Professional and business services was also revised lower, showing that the industry contracted by 9,500 jobs, or -3.6%, in the most recent 12 months.

Over-the-year job declines occurred in each of this major industry’s three components: administrative and waste services (-5,800 jobs); professional and technical services (-3,000); and management of companies and enterprises (-700). While Oregon’s job growth has been close to flat in the 12 months ending in January, with a decline of 0.2%, at the national level U.S. jobs grew by 1.9% and rose in every month of that period.

Oregon’s unemployment rate was 4.1% in January and 4.0% in December. It has remained in a tight range between 3.4% and 4.2% for more than two years, back to October 2021. The U.S. unemployment rate was 3.7% in both December and January.

“Stunning Skies, Surf & Sand“

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN

The rst picture I am sharing this week is the Central School, which was on the site where Ocean Crest School now stands, and was the school involved in the trial of the school superintendent, brought by a Bandon businessman on behalf of his son, Voyle (Sid) Perry, in 1925.

HERE IS THE STORY:

"The trial of R.H. Watson, superintendent of Bandon schools, on a charge of having used profanity in speaking to Voyle Perry, a pupil in the Central School was concluded Saturday night at nine o'clock when a verdict of 'not guilty' was handed down by the school board, after having consumed about ten hours of listening to the testimony of more than twenty teachers from the public schools, and a number of other people, who were asked to testify in the character and standing of the defendant.

"The complaint was admitted to imply the charge of incompetency and that phase of the question was thoroughly covered. The school board sitting as judges passed on all questions as to the admissibility of evidence. They were assisted in their work by C.R. Wade, attorney for the board. L.J. Radley conducted the case for the plaintiff, Frank Perry, while F.L. Young and J.T. Brand appeared for the defendant. Four different court stenographers were enlisted in an effort to take down the evidence as it was presented. At the close of the trial it was understood that the plaintiff would appeal the case to the county superintendent."

Western World carried a story a month later indicating the county superintendent C.E. Mulkey would not consider the case on the grounds of insuf ciency of record. The case was dropped.

I have chosen the waterfront to illustrate my second story, which appeared in the Aug. 7, 1930, Western World.

"The Bandon waterfront has been lined with shing craft during the past week and the local sh receiving stations have been taking in big catches. The mosquito eet has been putting to sea early each morning and coming in over the bar at sundown. Their cargoes are discharged during the night and the sh are cleaned, iced and shipped the following day. One plant here has been getting as much as 7,000 pounds a night.

"One of the little gas boats, The Crusader, with F. Perry as master and crew, went high and dry on the beach north of the north jetty. Instead of remaining at sea all night as he had intended, Perry decided to come into the port late at night by moonlight. It was so light he said that he didn't follow the range lights and before he knew it he was in shallow water. The sea was so calm that there was practically no surf. When he found himself high and dry on the beach he went to bed in the boat until morning. Oscar Langlois, lighthouse keeper, discovered the boat and sent word to the coast guard station. There was no danger so the boat was left until the following day when an attempt was made by the coast guard to pull it off, but without success.

"The Crusader had 600 pounds of salmon aboard. These were taken across to the receiving station in a row boat."

The F. Perry mentioned in this story is the same man as in the earlier story who sued the school superintendent.

I have chosen a picture of First Street in the early days to illustrate this story headlined "Gasoline Fire," which appeared in the July 2, 1925, Western World.

"Charley Page's baseball instinct probably saved the business section of the town from a bad re Monday. Shortly before noon at his place of business he was engaged in lling a cigar lighter from a quart bottle of gasoline when someone approaching from behind slapped him on the shoulder. The cigar lighter jiggled and a spark caught the gasoline. In jerking away, the bottle of gasoline was spread over the oor, ceiling and showcases and all ablaze. Things were getting pretty hot for Charley by that time so with one big swing, and perfect aim, he pitched the bottle through the center of the large plate glass door, demolishing the door but saving the place from a re that might have licked up the block and then some. The frame work of one of the large candy cases was blistered, otherwise there was little damage done inside."

Charley and Kitty Page and Curly Woomer ( re chief at the time of the 1936 Fire) built the Arcade Garden Tavern on the corner of Second and Chicago after the Fire. Today it is owned by Bill and Louise Moore and houses several shops, including Pablos.

I saw the tragic story of

the young kindergarten teacher, whose pickup was found in the North Umpqua River Thursday morning after she failed to arrive at Glide Elementary School where she taught kindergarten. She had apparently skidded off Highway 138 in the slushy conditions.

I later learned that the young woman, Rachel Kathryn Merchant-Ly, was the granddaughter of Bandon High School graduate Stuart Merchant. She lived in the Idleyld Park/Dry Creek area of Douglas County. Although family members continue to search for her body after her pickup was found submerged in the river, the sheriff's department called off the search because of the condition of the swollen river.

Among her survivors are her parents, Steven and Nancy Merchant, and her spouse, Hao Ly, all of Idleyld Park.

Although I did not see a press release about the incident, I have learned that a man who was ushed out of a vacant house on Highway 42S recently made it a short ways to a neighboring farm, owned by the Albertson family. He was reportedly located by a police dog in a barn on the property, owned by Eric and Betty Albertson and his mother, Faye Albertson. They are assuming he was taken into custody, but did not learn his name, according to Faye.

A 42-year-old Bandon man, Jesse B. Sweet, was arrested for second degree assault and domestic menacing by the Bandon Police department on Feb. 28 after Sergeant Matt Whitmer was dispatched to the report of a disturbance on Delaware Avenue, where it was determined a signi cant assault had occurred, according to the police report.

The police report said there was information that the suspect was enroute to an address on Sealander Road to confront an individual, which ultimately did not occur. At 4 p.m. he was located at Whiskey Run Beach Access.

Upon arrival, he drove south down the beach to avoid law enforcement but after a short time he returned to surrender.

The sheriff's of ce said there was a heavy police presence during the day in that area to assist the Bandon Police Department, who thanked other departments for their assistance.

Oregon State Legislature recently passed two resolutions honoring two Oregonians who died in 2023, one of whom was Bill Bradbury of Bandon.

Senate Current Resolution 204 was passed in memoriam of Bradbury, who served for a decade as Oregon's 23rd Secretary of State.

"Former Secretary Bradbury is responsible for transforming our elections system by establishing ORESTAR, Oregon's online political campaign contribution system, and by establishing Oregon's vote-by-mail system 24 years ago -- the rst in the country," said a press release.

Showcase. We are so fortunate to have a theater the caliber of the Sprague, which was built nearly 25 years ago by the Bandon Lions Club, chaired by Dan Almich and Ray Kelley, and later turned over to the City. I doubt that you will ever nd a city our size with a library, community center, and theater complex like we have in the City Park.

I wish I had more information, but I know the town is very proud of the Bandon High School girls basketball team, who nished second in the state after a heartbreaking loss to Western Christian, 45-40, in the Class 2A Championship game in Pendleton Saturday night.

Alloro Wine Bar and Restaurant has announced their fresh pasta gift, and the details can be found on their Facebook page. March 10 will be the date for pick up but you need to get your order in soon.

I nally found time to attend the Bandon Playhouse production of "Radium Girls," which ended a two-weekend run Sunday. Was I ever glad I did not miss this superb production, which was attended by about 180 people on Sunday, and held the audience spellbound for two hours. Through the years I seldom miss anything produced by Bandon Playhouse and MarLo Dance Studio or sponsored by Bandon

Threatened with the possibility that an initiative petition would reach the voters in November repealing Ballot Measure 110, the legislature voted to recriminalize drug possession in Oregon. Class E violations, created by Measure 110, are repealed under HB4002. Instead a person stopped with small amounts of illicit drugs will face an entirely new "drug enforcement misdemeanor" as of Sept. 1. If a county offers a de ection or diversion program and a prosecutor uses them, the individual could remain on probation for 18 months. If they violate probation, the person could face a 30day jail sanction. And if probation is revoked, the individual could be ordered to a maximum of 180 days in jail.

I understand that Coos County will not offer the de ection program, but I will explain more in the coming weeks.

Many Republicans, district attorneys and law enforcement of cials favored outright repeal of the measure, but were aware that the votes were not there in either the House or the Senate, which are controlled by the Democrats.

Three years ago, our 40-year-old daughter, "Tanya," suddenly accused me of abusing her during her childhood. She also accused my husband, her dad, of enabling this abuse. Abby, the abuse never happened!

Could some therapist have planted these ideas in her head? Tanya has problems with alcohol (which she blames on me) and has been divorced from two wonderful men who she claims also abused her. She can't maintain friendships with women because as soon as they do something that makes Tanya mad, she cuts them off.

Our other daughter, "Nadia," is three years younger. She doesn't have an alcohol problem and has a great husband and a toddler. Tanya has cut her off as well and has never met her brother-in-law or nephew. Nadia says her childhood was idyllic. Neither child lives near us.

My husband is living with incurable cancer, which Tanya knew before she excommunicated us. I don't know if I should inform her when her father dies, or let her ﬁnd out through others on Facebook. My husband and I and Nadia don't use Facebook, but relatives do, and I am sure they will make it known.

I am torn about this. Tanya has hurt all of us repeatedly for so many years that we all agree that life is more pleasant without her around us. However, I'm afraid not telling her will cause more problems. Advice?

— DAMNED BOTH WAYS IN ILLINOIS

DEAR Damned:

You stated that Tanya has "excommunicated" you, her father and her sister. She appears to be an angry and bitter woman who needs to ﬁnd someone other than herself to blame for her unhappiness. She's unlikely to improve without professional help or an alcohol intervention.

When your husband passes, I'm hoping you will write her a brief letter explaining that you want her to know her father loved her. Give her the date of his passing, his obituary and the location of his ﬁnal resting place. If you do, your conscience should be clear. What, if anything, she decides to do with that information is up to her.

Dear Abby:

I have supportive friends to go to lunch and coffee with, but I miss the companionship of a special someone. One of them is a man I have known for many years. He has been a widower for more than 10 years. He has dated several women with no commitments and is always a gentleman. Before my husband's passing, he once said if I wasn't married, he would call me. He hasn't contacted me. How can I contact him without seeming aggressive? He has said that he's pleased with his current companion because there is "no drama." Please advise how an elegant

WORD PLEASE:

How to write rock 'n' roll

By June Casagrande

Rock & Roll rock-n-roll rock’n roll rock n’ roll rock and roll

I've seen all these forms and more in my editing work, and it's my job to figure out which one to keep. Yes, they’re all perfectly clear and understandable. But that’s not enough for editors. We have to worry about the whole consistency issue, too. So I always change them to rock ’n’ roll.

I never bother to look it up. I know it’s rock ’n’ roll. I’ve been doing this a long time. But when I’m passing along what I know to other people — mainly, here — I always double-check my facts.

So when the issue came up again recently, I turned to Webster’s New World College Dictionary, which is the final word on these matters at the publication I edit. Here’s what I learned: The entry for rock ’n’ roll gave this for a definition: rock-and-roll. Whenever a dictionary entry for one word refers you to the entry for another, that’s the dictionary’s way of saying that

the other is the main entry — in this case, that rock ’n’ roll is merely a variant of the preferred rock-and-roll.

That surprised me: Where did I get the idea it was rock ’n’ roll? I checked the house style guide for the publication and that’s where I found it: Our house style is rock ’n’ roll, which trumps even our house dictionary, which, though it allows rock ’n’ roll, clearly prefers rockand-roll. That was a relief. It meant 1. that I haven’t been doing it wrong all these years, and 2. that I don’t have to switch to the weird-looking rock-androll.

But that's just for news editing style. Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, which most book publishers follow, doesn’t like rock ’n’ roll as a first choice, either. According to that dictionary, rock ’n’ roll is acceptable, but the preferred form is rock and roll.

If you're using a version with apostrophes, make sure your word processing program doesn't turn your first apostrophe into an open single quotation mark, which curves in the opposite direction. If it does, just type a second apostrophe after the first one then delete the first one.

COW! HISTORY:

Ike’s Secret Baseball Career

By J. Mark Powell InsideSources.com

March Madness may bring basketball to the forefront, kids may chase soccer balls in droves, but baseball remains our national pastime. It’s woven into our country’s fabric alongside apple pie and Fourth of July fireworks displays.

And of all our presidents, Dwight Eisenhower may have been the game’s biggest fan. He was crazy about it. The man who brought down Hitler and later gave us interstate highways was a born jock. And he was a pretty good one, too.

A typical American teenager, Eisenhower lived, breathed and ate sports while growing up in Abilene, Kan. He played center field on his high school team. His big brother Edgar played first base.

Ike was the third of six brothers. The Eisenhower boys had lots of intelligence, but the family had little money. Ike pursued an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy because it provided a free education.

Like most young men, de arrived at West Point with a heart overflowing with dreams. More than anything, he wanted to be a famous ballplayer.

Ike dutifully tried out for the varsity baseball team. But he didn’t make it. He later called it “the greatest disappointment of my life.” He also enjoyed football, and turned to it for his Plan B. He made Army’s varsity football team the following year (even playing against the legendary Jim Thorpe) until a knee injury forced him to give up the game.

Yet, not making the baseball team may have been a blessing in dis-

Joseph Charles Flora Jr.

September 27, 1926 – March 6, 2024

Joseph Charles Flora Jr. was born on September 27,1926 in Portland, Oregon and passed away peacefully in his sleep at home on March 6, 2024 in Myrtle Point, Oregon. Joe was predeceased by his wife, Mary Ruth (Cunningham) Flora; his parents Joseph & Theresa Flora; brother Lloyd James Flora; brother Blayne Joseph Flora; sister, Jeannette T. West; great nephew Jeremy Vaughn.

Joe is survived by: son, Lloyd and wife Suzan Flora; daughter, Connie Flora Young; son, Bill and wife Cathy Flora; daughter, Amy and husband Arty Grabowski; son, Tom and wife Marlene Flora; daughter, Liz and husband Mike Hooper; nephew BJ and wife Darlene Flora; nephew Jim and wife Claire Vaughn; nephew Don and wife Naomi West; 17 grandchildren, 32 great grandchildren, 1 great great grandchild, 10 great nieces and nephews, 12 great great nieces and nephews and 3 great great great

nieces and nephews. Joe served in the United States Navy from August 29, 1944 to June 7, 1946 during World War II. He was awarded the American Area Campaign Medal and the World War II Victory Medal.

He married Mary Ruth Cunningham November 29, 1947 in Camas Valley, Oregon. They were married for 65 years.

At the age of 15, Joe went to work in the woods for his father, Joseph Charles Flora Sr., who was a co-owner of The Flora Logging Company and Carlton Railroad in Carlton, Oregon. Many years later, after welcoming 5 of his 6 children, Joe went to night school and earned his GED.

In 1955 he and Mary committed their lives to Jesus Christ and faithfully served God and attended church for the rest of their lives. They served churches in California and Oregon. Joe taught his children and grandchildern about the love of God and

anyone and everyone else. In fact, some of his nick names were preacher joe and holy joe. Over the years Joe served as a Sunday school teacher, church board member, church treasurer and church janitor. He was an active member of the New Horizon Church of God in Coquille, Oregon for over 30 years.

Joe was a faithful fan of his children, grandchildren and his great grandchildren. He took great joy in attending their sporting events.

His funeral service will be held at the Coquille New Horizon Church of God, March 14, 2024 at 10:00 am. Interment will be held at the Norway Cemetery. Online remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at www. westrumfuneralservice. com

guise because Ike had a potentially explosive secret. After finishing high school in 1909, he spent two years working at a creamery to help pay Edgar’s way through the University of Michigan. He also played baseball for money under an alias. Though politics was still decades off in his future, the teenage Eisenhower was already thinking like a politician by keeping his options open.

Regardless of how small the amount, taking money would have ended his amateur status. If he had made the Army team and had word of his earlier play for pay leaked out, he would have been expelled for breaking the Academy’s Honor Code. His career would have been over before it began. There would have been no Ike as commander of the D-Day invasion, no “I Like Ike” buttons, no Eisenhower in the White House. So naturally, he did his best to keep his secret hidden. Until the end of World War II, that is. Returning to a hero’s welcome in New York City, he took in a New York Giants-Boston Red Sox game. Giants’ General Manager Mel Ott asked Eisenhower if it was true he had once played semipro ball. Caught up in the excitement of the moment and with reporters listening nearby, he blurted out that yes, he had played under the assumed name “Wilson,” then said it was “the one secret of his life.” (Historians would say he had another one: his wartime affair with his British military chauffeur Kay Summersby.)

The story made it into print, forcing Ike to do damage control a few days later. He told the Associated Press he had taken “any job that

Carl William “Bill” Smith was born on December 26, 1934 in Winner, South Dakota. He was one of 9 children born at home to Virgil and Iam Smith. He passed away peacefully at his home on February 23rd, 2024 in Coos Bay, Oregon.

He attended school in Winner, SD where he met the love of his life Lorraine Couch. They were married on March 14, 1956. On January 8th, 1958 Bill enlisted in the Army. Just over a month later he and Lorraine welcomed their first son Rodney. Their second son, Billy was born in 1960 and their third son Eddie was born in 1962.

Bill and Lorraine moved their three boys to Coos Bay, Oregon in 1963 and shortly after he was discharged from the Army.

He then worked at Weyerhaeuser for 33 years total. He spent 30 years doing the

paid money” during his pre-college days.

But the cat was out of the bag. The book “Going Home to Glory” by Eisenhower’s grandson David recounts a story related to him by former Brooklyn Dodgers public relations man Arthur Patterson. While watching a game with Ike once, Patterson said he recalled hearing that two young men named “Wilson” had played in the Kansas Central League in 1909. Which player was Wilson, and which was Eisenhower, he asked.

“I was the Wilson who could hit,” Ike shot back. Then he quickly added, “That’s between you and me.”

In an era when presidential scandals involve payoffs to porn stars and cocaine in the White House, an illicit baseball career isn’t a biggie. And it’s easy to sympathize with Eisenhower, too. The man who led Americans into combat and through the Cold War wasn’t above cutting a few corners just to play the game we all love.

CURDS AND WHEY

A History Of The Creameries and Cheese Factories of Coos and Curry Counties, Oregon

was estimated at more than $45,000.

BY BILL LANSING

In 1974, my wife and I moved to our home on Haynes Inlet, a small farming community northwest of Coos Bay, Oregon. It was a quiet, bucolic setting with dairy cows grazing in elds nearby. One evening when I returned home from work, I noted several large cattle trucks loaded with Holstein milk cows heading out. I wondered where they were going. When I asked my wife, she declared, with tears in her eyes, that she was convinced they were heading to the slaughterhouse. She had been talking to a neighbor who explained that the local dairy industry was in a downward spiral and many of the smaller farms were going out of business.

I became curious as to what was happening. But life got in the way. Time passed, and I retired. Casting

Creameries and cheese factories could not exist without dairy farmers, so Lansing detours and documents several of the major dairy farmers in our area. Farmers such as Anson Rogers long with his son Anson O. and brother Stephen, Sarah Anson Yoakam, Donald McIntosh and James and Sarah McCloskey, Benjamin F. Ross and many others.

about for hobbies to keep me going, I landed upon the idea of capturing the stories about historical subjects that helped shape our local communities we see today. Over the past 20 years, I have written 11 books on different topics and learned a lot as each book came together. The local logging railroads, the local one-room schoolhouses, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the history of Southwestern Oregon Community College, etc., all captured my interest—so I wrote about them.

Now, nearly 50 years after seeing those truckloads of cows heading who knows where somewhere, I decided to tackle the history of the dairy industry in southwestern Oregon. I learned that Coos and Curry Counties were a major supplier of butter and cheese to the California markets in the early twentieth century, and the indus-

try was a large contributor to our local economy. Dairy farms were everywhere along the oodplains of the Coquille and Coos Rivers, and the little community of Langlois in northern Curry County was once called “Dairyville,” because of the large dairy farms that surrounded it. I found that both large and small creameries and cheese factories were scattered along the banks of the Coquille and Coos rivers and how the riverboats provided a ready transportation system to move the raw milk from the dairies to the factories. They also moved the nished dairy products to the seaports of Bandon and Coos Bay for export to San Francisco and points west. I learned that the dairy farmers along the Coquille River preferred the Jersey cow for milk production while the farmers along the Coos River preferred the Holstein.
