No raises for government workers

So, it seems that the only people that get raises are the government employees. Much of the talk at last night’s North Bend budget committee meeting was talking about how much more money we need to pay the government workers. Right, and where is that money going to come from? It must come from the taxpaying citizens that are having our paychecks completely eroded by inflation. Families in this community are in absolute financial crisis. We have retirees that are getting absolutely decimated, and we have an entire generation of young people that will likely never be able to buy even a small starter house with their salaries.

Yes, it sucks that the federal government is destroying us with their rampant deficit spending and money printing. That’s not just a problem experienced by government workers. We’re all getting killed, and the government workers aren’t entitled to a respite from that problem at the expense of the taxpayers (who already earn less than the government workers, I might add).

I’m also sick of the ridiculous threats from council members and city staff to the effect of “if we don’t give these people raises, then they’ll quit.” Nobody believes you - just stop it.

There needs to be a complete and total moratorium on any new raises for public employees. I’d even go a step further and say that no city employee should be paid more than the area’s median income. Nobody has a gun to their heads; if the salary isn’t enough to meet their needs, they’re free to go work elsewhere. If the city truly can’t staff these positions on the salary that is already being paid (never mind the benefits packages that us

cattle in the private sector could only dream of) only then should an increase in compensation be considered, and it should be only be considered on a position-byposition based - none of this “here, all you guys get a 10% raise, never mind the fact that we have to tax a guy living in a van in order to give it to you” idiocy.

Thank you Congresswomen Hoyle

I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude to Congresswoman Val Hoyle for her steadfast support in increasing research funding for Alzheimer’s and dementia. Congresswoman Hoyle’s dedication to advocating for an additional $318 million towards this critical cause underscores her commitment to improving the lives of those affected by these debilitating diseases.

Having personally witnessed the profound impact of Alzheimer’s on families and loved ones, I recognize the urgent need for more resources to advance research and develop effective treatments. Alzheimer’s not only steals memories and independence but also places immense emotional and financial strain on caregivers and families, affecting individuals from all walks of life.

Congresswoman Hoyle’s advocacy for increased research funding instills hope in millions of families who grapple with the challenges of Alzheimer’s and dementia. Her leadership in this area demonstrates a deep commitment to serving her constituents and addressing the pressing healthcare needs of our communities.

An elemental matter

BY CAPTAIN SEAN M. SANBORN Coos County Sheriff’s Officer

What if I were to tell you that bringing a criminal matter before the court is akin to a matter of chemistry? In order for the Coos County Sheriff’s Office to make a case, we must establish that a crime did, in fact occur. In order to do that, we must meet the element of the crime as set forth in Oregon Revised Statute. Only if the elements come together can we make an arrest, or refer a matter to the Coos County District Attorney’s Office with a referral for prosecution. In order to do that, we must first examine the evidence. More often than not, the Deputy was not present when the crime occurred. This means that the Deputy must connect the dots in order to develop probable cause that a crime occurred. That begs the question, what is probable cause? Probable cause is a legal term which means that the reasonable fact finder is more certain than not, or at least 51% certain that a crime has occurred.

Evidence can consist of several different events. First, lets discuss testimonial evidence. This can consist of victim’s statements, suspect statements and witness statements. While sifting through these various accounts of what occurred, we are looking for corroborating statements. This means we are looking for elements within a statement which support a version of events. It is not uncommon for folks we come into contact with to give a biased version of what happened. Often times, people will deliver stories which support their assertions of what occurred. This can come from the person alleging the crime and from the person who the crime is alleged against.

We often will conduct neighborhood canvasses to look for testimony from a person who was not involved in the situation at all. This is presumably an unbiased person who was not involved in the situation at hand, and likely has no stake in the ultimate outcome. These

individuals are great contributors to leading law enforcement down a path which may support a crime.

Physical evidence is also important in determining what happened. Photographs are often taken to exhibit what we found at the scene which supports a version of events. Physical evidence does not lie and everything goes. Blood, fingerprints, DNA, broken windows or door jams, foot prints and digital evidence such as camera footage often informs law enforcement of what occurred. Sadly, we can’t get fingerprint information back quickly. Typically, to have the crime lab examine certain evidence can take upwards to six months to a year. However, forensic evidence is irrefutable so long as it is handled correctly by all parties involved.

Lastly, we must meet the elements of a crime. For example, for the crime of Harassment (ORS 166.065) the suspect must harass or annoy another person by subjecting such other person to offensive physical contact such as shoving, slapping, or other such contact without actually causing physical injury to the victim. If actual physical injury is caused in such an occurrence, the crime may rise to the level of assault.

The crime of Burglary in the first degree (ORS 164.225) for example requires the suspect to enter a dwelling with the intent to commit a crime. So first, we must establish that the premise which the suspect entered was a dwelling, which the courts have established is an actual place where a person lives. This could be a tent, travel trailer, mobile home or stick built house. Second, we must establish that the suspect either intended to commit a crime, or actually committed a crime therein. It is

much harder to establish intent, or meaning to commit a crime than it is to determine if a crime was actually committed inside of that dwelling. The crime which the suspect intended to commit must be an actual crime as is otherwise codified in Oregon Revised Statutes. If we cannot prove any element in that crime, then we do not have the ability to lawfully arrest for that crime.

For most crimes, we take all of the evidence into consideration to develop probable cause to make an arrest. Even if the suspect is less than truthful, and we find evidence that the truth was not told, a provable lie can be just as powerful as the flat-out truth. With a provable lie, we can show intent that the suspect was trying to sway the Deputy from finding the truth and is indicative of guilt. Sometimes, there is just not enough evidence to get to the level of probable cause. Or, there is probable cause, but the District Attorney’s Office must weigh the evidence under the law to determine if it the crime can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. To prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt is a much higher standard which is applied inside of the courtroom either by a jury of six or twelve members of the community, or by the judge in the event of a bench trial. But before we even get there, we have to have the chemistry it takes to make a crime under the law. This is the standard which we must hold to in order to get the job done.

As always, A huge thank you to our citizens for your support of our Coos County Sheriff’s Office. I hope this brings some level of understanding to the puzzles we work through day in and day out as we go about the work of trying to keep our community safe.

Padgett, Lutes rewrite record book at state

Marshfield boys, North Bend girls finish second

JOHN GUNTHER For The World

EUGENE — The Class 4A state meet had a lot of relay drama, a lot of familiar success by pole vaulters and sprinters Jason Padgett and Bodey Lutes, and ultimately second-place trophies for Marshfield’s boys and North Bend’s girls.

The two-day event ended with the local teams smiling, even though Saturday started with heartbreak for different reasons for the 4x100 relay teams from Marshfield and North Bend.

An anticipated showdown on the home stretch for top seed Marshfield and two-time defending champion North Bend in the 4x100 relay never materialized.

The Bulldogs never got to Padgett on the anchor leg when two teammates tangled on the second handoff and went down to the track. With the Bulldogs out of action, the Pirates cruised across the line in first place, only to be disqualified for an infraction in one of the exchange zones, which gave the title instead to Crook County.

Padgett came back to win the 100 and 200 for the second straight year.

“It was hard going into it mentally,” he said. “The 4x100 was really hard on me.”

He spent time praying and refocusing on his goals for the two individual sprints and then put on a show.

Padgett’s winning time in the 100 of 10.82 was .10 faster than he ran last year but just missed both the meet and North Bend school records.

The 200, on the other hand, was one for the ages.

Padgett won in 21.50 seconds, a new school record and an all-time best for Class 4A in Oregon.

The runner-up, Crook County’s Gabe Love (21.70) and third-place finisher Lutes (21.81) also were under the old record of 21.90.

Lutes, who had entered with the state-leading time in the event, said he did what he could.

“There’s not much I can say,” Lutes said. “He’s fast.”

Lutes sped to a meet record of his own in the 400 meters, 47.97 seconds, trimming .30 seconds from the record he set last year.

“I was pretty mad from the 4x100 and I took it out on the track,” he said.

Teammate Quinton Kloster was seventh in the race with his own personal best, 51.77.

Lutes, who runs the second leg on the 4x100 relay, said when he watched Kloster cross the line in first place, it was the happiest he’s been at a track meet.

That happiness was short-lived because of the disqualification.

Ironically, the Pirates ended up with the firstplace medal in the 4x400 relay at the end of the meet even though Baker beat Marshfield to the finish line. Baker was disqualified after its anchor leg threw the baton in celebration after finishing the race, leaving Marshfield’s quartet of Joe Herbert, Kloster, Chandler Wyatt and Lutes in first place with their time of 3:24.69.

“I told the guys, ‘This is our first-place 4x100 medal,’” Lutes said.

The Baker disqualification also put North Bend on the award stand with the team of Andrew Efraimson, Landon Takenaka-Gaul, Sam Mickelson and Padgett finishing eighth in 3:34.40.

“It’s always the best feeling,” Padgett said of getting a relay medal with three friends.

North Bend finished in a tie for seventh in the team race, but had other highlights Saturday.

Miles Baxter finished fourth in the high jump, clearing 6-2 ¾ on his third attempt to set a new personal best and score five points for the Bulldogs.

Baxter also jumped well enough on his first attempt in the long jump to reach the final, but was injured in the relay collision and unable to continue.

North Bend’s Wyatt Smith was fifth in the javelin with a throw of 160-5.

Marshfield, meanwhile, moved up to second place in the trophy race with Baker’s disqualification in the relay.

Crook County ran away with the title with 96 points, while Marshfield had 46 and Pendleton 45.

Marshfield coach Chad Scriven described the situation as “the most miserable second place I’ve ever been through.”

The coach was pleased with how his athletes performed, though.

“It’s a stupidly young team,” he said.

Lutes and Kloster are juniors and Wyatt is a sophomore. Carter McGriff, who was on the 4x100 team, is a freshman. Herbert is a senior, but a baseball player who did track for the first time this year. Marshfield had another baseball player,

Drake Rogers, on its winning 4x400 relay team last year and Lutes said he already is looking at another possible recruit from that squad.

Marshfield’s Jaxson Stovall, who was 10th in the 1,500, finishing in 4:15.51, is also just a sophomore.

The Pirates had started the day with 18 points, all from the pole vault Friday when John Parks won for the third straight year and Danner Wilson placed second.

Parks won by clearing 14-9 ½, becoming the Pirates’ first three-time winner in their signature event — they have won it eight of the last nine state meets. Wilson, who was third two years ago but missed last year’s meet with a broken wrist, cleared 14-6 ¾.

“I feel good,” Parks said. “This is my last high school anything and I got to do it with one of my best friends.”

He added that he just wanted Marshfield to win, and he would have been happy if Wilson had beaten him as long as they were still first and second.

North Bend’s girls were in second all day after a strong start to the meet Friday, and clinched a share of that trophy with their own exciting final relay.

The Bulldogs were seeded into the slower first heat because of their qualifying time at the district meet, but the quartet of Emma Slade, Ellie Massie, Eva Jensen and Lauren Efraimson won the heat with a time of 4:10.18 that ultimately was good enough for third overall.

And when Scappoose held off Cascade for the title in the fast heat, the Bulldogs and Cascade finished tied for second in the team race with 51 points, a ways back from Philomath’s 74.

“That’s pretty cool,”

North Bend coach Jake Smith said of the Bulldogs finishing second.

“We’ve got some young kids who are pretty exciting.”

The only seniors to score for North Bend were pole vaulters Abby Woodruff and Roxy Day, but they gave the Bulldogs a huge lift to start Saturday’s action.

Woodruff and Day finished first and second — Day’s third time finishing runner-up in her high school career.

For Woodruff, it was redemption after she failed to clear her opening height last year. She said she was relieved when she got cleanly over the bar after entering the competition at 9-6 ½.

“Last year was pretty awful,” she said, adding that her state performance impacted her well into the summer, leaving her with a mental block and fear to get back to the event.

That carried over to an inconsistent season this spring.

“I was nervous going into district and state,” she said.

But she woke up happy and relaxed Saturday and competed well.

“That first bar, once you clear it you get in a zone,” she said. “You are able to relax.”

Woodruff ultimately cleared 10-8 ¼. She was over the bar on her third attempt at 11-1, which would have been a new best, but her pole knocked it off.

That didn’t dampen her spirits.

“I was so happy when we got first and second,” she said.

“I’m happy to have Abby with me,” Day said.

Day didn’t miss any jumps though 9-9 ¼, her fourth height, and clinched second place when she made 10-2 ¾, a new best, on her third attempt. Junction City’s

Elaina Deming had matched Day vault-forvault until she failed to get over the bar at the height, and finished third.

Day, who was unable to get over 10-5 ½, also placed second as a freshman and last year, each time setting a new best in the process.

“I’ve never PRed anywhere but state,” she said.

Drew Hood placed third in the 100-meter hurdles Saturday in 16.18 seconds.

“I’m so happy,” said Hood, who was just third in her preliminary heat Friday. “I came into this race thinking I had so much more in the tank. I love hurdles.”

North Bend missed one other chance for points on the track when Ellie Massie was ninth in the 1,500 in 4:58.59.

Massie got North Bend off to a quick start Friday when she ran a great race in the 3,000, finishing second to La Grande’s Brooke Perry in a lifetime best 10:34.58.

Hood followed that up by placing third in the javelin. She moved from seventh to first with a personal best on her fifth throw, 121-5, only to be passed moments later by eventual winner Ahnika Tryon of Philomath (1238) and Cottage Grove’s Makya Alsup (121-8). All three threw farther than Hood did when she won the event last year.

In the triple jump, Efraimson placed fourth (34-11 ¼) and Hood was sixth (33-6 ¾).

Marshfield’s girls got their only points from Daphne Scriven, who finished third in the discus.

Scriven, who won the title as both a sophomore and junior, improved with every throw in the finals, her best mark 1128 in the final round.

Estacada’s Abby Behrman took the title with a throw of 126-6.

Coquille girls earn third straight title

JOHN GUNTHER For The World

EUGENE — When

senior Callie Millet hyperextended the toes on her left foot a week before the state track championships, Coquille’s chances for a third straight team title appeared in jeopardy. But Millet fought through the pain to repeat as javelin champion and place in two other and the Red Devils won six individual titles in all and brought home the blue trophy again.

Coquille scored 84.5 points, while Catlin Gabel had 66 and Banks 53. Millet was an inspira-

tion to her teammates, who rose to the occasion over the two days at Hayward Field.

“She was our MVP,” Coquille coach Jake Cochran said.

Millet repeated as state champion in the javelin on Thursday, when she had the three biggest throws, including her first one when she took only a short approach on the runway. Her best mark was 125 feet, 10 inches.

“I was hoping to PR, but with my foot the way it was, that wasn’t realistic,” said Millet, who had a season best of 135-7. Later Thursday, she placed sixth in the discus

and then turned her focus to Friday’s pole vault and helping Coquille win another title.

“I’m doing what I can for the team,” she said.

On Friday, that ultimately meant taking 18 painful runs down the pole vault runway. But each height she cleared — eight in all — brought the Red Devils closer to the team crown.

Utlimately, the final score wasn’t too close because of all Coquille’s wins. Reagan Krantz repeated as pole vault champion and Holli Vigue won the discus for the second year in a row and added the shot

Bandon Boys capture state golf title

JOHN GUNTHER For

the Wrold

Bandon’s boys had a dominant two days at Emerald Valley Golf Club in Creswell to win the Class 3A-2A-1A state title, the school’s second state crown in the sport. The Tigers, who also were state champions in 2018, took a 23-shot lead with their team total of 318 on Monday and finished 22 strokes in front of Valley Catholic, shooting 337 on Tuesday.

Banks finished third (693) and Western Christian and St. Mary’s tied for fourth (700). Siuslaw was sixth (715).

Sophomore Davis Hartwell of Crosspoint Christian was the runaway winner in the individual race, shooting a 4-under 68 on Tuesday after he also had the best opening round (73). His score of 151 was 10 shots better than Benny Zhu of Valley Catholic. Brookings-Harbor’s Lucas Vanderlip and Bandon’s Sevren Quinn, a freshman, tied for third. Vanderlip had rounds of 79 and 74 while Quinn went 75-78.

Bandon junior Peyton Simonds was fifth at 156 (76-80) and Siuslaw’s Ryan Klampe gave the South Coast four of the top six spots by shooting 79-78 for sixth place.

Senior Sean Ells finished in a tie for 16th for Bandon (82-86), while senior Carter Brown finished in a tie for 27th (85-93). The Tigers’ fifth spot was filled by a different golfer each day. Logan France had a 97 on Monday and Zack Robertson a 103 on Tuesday.

Siuslaw’s multi-talented Will Johnson was 22nd (89-85). He will play a big role for the Vikings this week in the state track meet, where he is seeded second in the long jump and triple jump and also will compete in the pole vault and 4x100 relay. Micah Blankenship was 39th (94-97) and Camden Linton 41st (94-99). Braxton Hulet had a 116 for Siuslaw on Monday and Jaxon Chiang shot a 107 on Tuesday.

Coquille’s Braedon Millhouser, who had qualified for the tournament as an individual, finished 24th (86-89).

CLASS 4A BOYS: North Bend finished third in the tournament, led by Owen Bascom, who was third overall at Emerald Valley. Bascom, runner-up a year ago, had a tworound total of 152, following his first-round 77 with a 75 on Tuesday. The junior finished five shots behind Phoenix freshman Jordan Giles and two shots behind Massimo Cereghino of Molalla.

North Bend, meanwhile, finished in a three-way tie for third place in the team race. Marist Catholic shot 659 (332-327) to finish four shots in front of the combined Baker/ Powder Valley squad (328-335).

Detzler, Ferren lead Bobcats to trophy

JOHN GUNTHER For The World

EUGENE — Mason

Detzler and Thomas Ferren carried Myrtle Point to second place at the Class 1A boys state track meet Friday night.

Detzler dominated the shot put and discus and Ferren was a surprise sprint champion and scored the most points of any boy in Class 1A, helping Myrtle Point score 50 points, not nearly enough to keep up with champion Imbler (77) but better than third-place Joseph (42).

Detzler was a little disappointed in both the shot put and discus, but only because he just missed stamping his name in the state meet record books in both events.

He had settle for a second straight title in the shot put and the all-time record for Class 1A he set earlier in the season.

Detzler’s winning throw of 54 feet was more than five feet further than the runner-up for the event. But he came up six centimeters short of the meet record for the event.

“I was hoping for the record,” said Detzler, who threw 58-11 ½ earlier in the season and was over 57 feet four meets in a row, all better than the previous record for the classification.

Detzler added the discus title Friday, again just missing his ultimate goal.

He threw 171 feet, 7 inches on his final attempt, a new personal best but a single inch behind the

record set last year by Ray Gerrard of North Douglas.

“I’m disappointed with that,” Detzler said. “But if someone else has the record, I’m glad Ray has it.”

Detzler had the five biggest throws of the day and was a little surprised by how well he did, saying he’s been throwing poorly in recent weeks.

The final throw was pure force.

“I was thinking, this is my last throw, just chuck it,” he said.

His winning mark was almost the best of all six classifications. Class 4A champion Hayden Slaughter had a throw of 175-4, but Detzler’s top throw was far better than the other winners.

Teammate Logan

Clayburn joined Detzler on the podium for the second straight day, finishing sixth (133-1) after also placing in the shot put (44-9).

Ferren, meanwhile, was a surprise winner in the 100 meters, racing to a new best time of 11.19 seconds. He let out a joyful scream when he realized he had won.

Later in the evening, he also won the 200 meters and placed third in the 110-meter high hurdles. He was awarded athlete of the meet honors for scoring the most points of any Class 2A boy.

It was a sterling effort considering the junior was in his first year of track and field — he joined the team initially to stay in shape for football.

He said he thought his best event would be the hurdles.

“I did the 100 because I knew I’m fast,” he said.

Faster than the rest of the athletes, as it turned out.

“I never thought I would win state,” he said.

His winning times were 11.19 in the 100 and 22.59 in the 200. He ran the hurdles from lane 1 because of a slower qualifying time Thursday, but still finished third in 15.72 seconds.

Myrtle Point’s girls scored in three events.

Jayme Padgett was third in the discus (106-3) and Kenzie Robinson fourth in the javelin (114-10) on Thursday. On Friday, Myrtle Point’s quartet of Milena Miller, Jadelin

Warner, Taelyn Farmer and Robinson finished fourth in the 4x100 relay in 52.86. Powers freshman Danika Bushnell finished second in the javelin with a throw of 116-7.

It was a remarkable effort, given that Bushnell focused on softball playing for Myrtle Point’s team this spring as part of a cooperative agreement between the schools and didn’t begin throwing the javelin until a few weeks ago. She was three inches behind the winner, Feirin McConnell of Triangle Lake.

Pacific’s boys scored seven points. Tucker Long finished sixth in the 300 hurdles (42.27) and eighth in the 110 hurdles (16.45) and Dalton Steers was sixth in the 100 (11.77).

Bandon girls rack up points to take Class 2A title

JOHN GUNTHER For The World

EUGENE — Bandon’s girls scored in event after event over two days at the state track meet, claiming their second straight Class 2A title at Hayward Field.

Marley Petrey led the way, just as she had a year earlier. She repeated as athlete of the meet for scoring the most points of any individual, winning three of her four events and placing second in the other.

But she had a bunch of help from her teammates as the Tigers scored in all but one of the running events and four of the seven field events and amassed 97 points, far more than Enterprise-Wallowa (68) and East Linn Christian (64).

“I’m so thrilled with how everybody stepped up,” Bandon coach Brent Hutton said, noting that eight of the nine girls he brought to Eugene placed in at least one event.

Petrey, who overcame a muscle injury late in the season, repeated as champion in the 100 (12.82 seconds) and long jump (16 feet, 2 ½ inches) and added the 300-meter hurdles title that just eluded her last year (46.07). She was just edged out for the triple jump title for the second year in a row, leaping 34-4 ¾.

“It went better than I expected for sure,” said Petrey, who was

Coquille

two heights without a miss, ultimately clearing 8 feet, 9 ¾ inches.

Callie Millet, meanwhile, missed her first attempt at both the first two heights (and two more later), but kept moving up. When she cleared 10-2 ¾ on her second attempt, she and Krantz were the only two vaulters left.

Millet ultimately got over one more height — 10 5 ½ — basically matching her personal best set earlier in the season. Throughout the competition Friday, her approaches on the runway got faster and stronger, even as she was clearly in pain walking back after each attempt.

“I was forcing myself to run on it a little more,” she said. “And I wasn’t going out after 9-3.”

Krantz said she was impressed by Millet’s ability to compete through the pain.

“She was able to jump her PR on an injured foot,” Krantz said.

Krantz, meanwhile, easily repeated as champion of the event. She didn’t enter until 9-6 ½ and cleared her first six heights without a miss.

She did have a miss at 11-7, but got over it cleanly on her second attempt, celebrating audibly as she fell

questionable to recover in time for state after suffering the injury a month before the district meet (she credited Hutton and trainer Henry Delaney for helping her to her quick recovery). “My main goal was to top last year, when I got two firsts and two seconds.”

Petrey was thrilled by the successes of her teammates.

“Every girl has done so well,” she said. “Oh my gosh! The amount of try this group has is amazing — the willingness to work their hardest.

“It’s made me try so much harder.”

Bandon got a big start to the meet in the javelin, where Caitlin Michalek was second and Katelyn Senn third in the first final of the two-day competition.

The team race was on their mind, they said.

“First and second was our goal,” Senn said. “It didn’t matter who was first or second.”

As it turned out, it was Michalek, who led for several rounds and had a new best of 131 feet on her final attempt.

“I’ve been wanting a PR for a while,” she said, noting that she hadn’t improved since the first meet of the season.

Senn, whose best mark was 123-8, was happy to finish on the podium with Michalek for the second straight year. Michalek was third and Senn fifth a year

to the mat. The height was an inch better than her previous best as she improved her school record.

“It was my last high school meet,” Krantz said. “I just wanted to have fun.”

Vigue was dominant in both the discus and shot put. Every legal throw she had (she had one scratch in the shot put) was better than the second-place finisher in both events, partly fueled by her missing the final in the javelin when she threw poorly in that event to start the meet.

“I hate to lose,” she said.

She improved her own school record in the discus, her best mark Thursday 131-4. Callie Millet’s mark of 100-9 was good for sixth place in the event as she placed in it for the second straight year as well.

“I’m really happy,” Vigue said of the discus. “I just want to make (coach Brandon) Bowen and my dad happy.”

She did that again Friday in the shot put, re-setting her own personal best several times in the process with her best throw 37-8 ¾ on her final attempt.

“After last year, I feel like I redeemed myself a little bit.”

Vigue was one of the top-ranked throwers in the shot put in Class 3A last year, but had a poor showing at the district meet and failed to advance to state.

Ultimately, Coquille scored in all seven field

ago.

“Track is kind of my third sport,” she said, referring to volleyball and basketball, the sport she will play for Eastern Oregon University in college. “I’m happy I got here and improved every year.”

Analise Miller, with Senn the only seniors of the group, had a big weekend as well.

Miller was sixth in the 3,000 on Thursday with a new personal best (11:17.98) despite throwing up just before crossing the finish with a new personal best, gave credit to a different sport for her success at state. She tried wrestling for the first year, narrowly missing advancing to state in that emerging sport.

“Wrestling was so fun,” she said. “It taught me a lot for running — it taught me how to really dig deep. You really can’t let down in wrestling. You’ll get pinned.”

She showed that fight in the 3,000 and again in the 800, where she was second with a new best 2:23.77, pulling away from a group in the final stretch.

Miller also dug deep as anchor leg for both Bandon’s placing relay teams.

She combined with Giada Moore, Michalek and Makiah Vierck to place sixth in the 4x100 relay in 52.36 seconds despite running in the first, slower heat.

“It was crazy,” Miller said. “I

events, including the long jump title by Lambson.

Lambson was far from her best in her best event, the long jump, scratching on four of her six attempts.

But her jump of 16-10 in the fifth round was good enough to pass Catlin Gabel’s Caroline Mauro and give the Red Devils their third title.

“I was hoping for a PR, but I like first place better,” said Lambson, adding that she was a little nervous with her scratches. The big jump that put her in the lead was a relief.

“I’m just so excited,” she said. “I wasn’t expecting to win.”

Mauro came in as the top seed, and her teammate Ella Bulkley was third as Catlin Gabel kept the pressure on Coquille in the team race. The Eagles also got big points in the high jump, but Coquille also scored in the event.

Mauro cleared 5-7 ¾ to win the high jump and teammate Abby Greenspan was second (5-2 ¼) for 18 points for Catlin Gabel.

Coquille’s Emelia Wirebaugh was part of a four-way tie for fifth place at 4-8 ¾, scoring 2.5 points for the Red Devils.

Lambson and Wirebaugh both competed well in a strong triple jump field Friday, with Lambson leaping 34-10 ¼ and Wirebaugh exactly one foot shorter.

Ada Millet later added one more win for Coquille

was trying to hype up our girls. We made it to state in the 4x100. We hadn’t done that before.” Miller passed another runner in the 4x100 relay and then outraced an East Linn Christian opponent in the home stretch of the 4x400 as the Tigers placed fourth in 4:17.02 with a group that also included Safaa Dimitruk and sisters Makiah and Makenna Vierck.

Makiah Vierck also placed third in the 100 hurdles (16.79) while Makenna Vierck was eighth in the 100 (13.22) and 400 (1:04.87) and seventh in the 200 (27.21). Moore, a freshman, placed third in the 300 hurdles (48.15).

Michalek placed fourth (4-9 ½) and Makiah Vierck seventh (4-7 ½) in the high jump.

Bandon was the only girls team from the South Coast to score in the Class 2A meet.

The highlight for the area’s boys was Reedsport junior Clayton Wilson, who swept the distance races.

On Thursday, he pulled away over the final laps to win the 3,000 meters in 8:59.58.

He was the first Reedsport boy to win a state title in the event and now has his eyes set on the school record, which is 8:48. But Thursday, he was more than happy to celebrate his first state crown.

“I couldn’t have asked for

in the 300-meter hurdles, scoring Coquille’s only points on the track in the process.

Millet, who has only focused on the event a few weeks, posted the top time in the preliminaries Thursday, but trailed North Valley’s Lainie Wheeler most of the way Friday.

The Coquille sophomore started catching up over the last 100 meters and caught Wheeler just before the finish, and just as Wheeler fell to the ground surging for the line.

Millet’s time was 47.10, a new best. She said she fed off the energy of the Hayward Field crowd.

“Everyone started cheering and I was thinking I have to catch her,” she said.

After competing at state in the 800 and 1,500 as a freshman, she has found a new favorite event.

“I have a lot of work to do on my form,” Millet said. “I know I can improve a lot.”

Ada said she was thrilled with how her injured sister performed, and was rewarded with good places.

“I’m so proud of her,” Ada said. “She’s put in so much work.”

Ada said she also wasn’t surprised.

“Any pain, she will push through it for her team,” she said.

Coquille competed well across the board.

“I’m just ecstatic how

the kids performed,” Cochran said. “They did awesome.”

That included the runners who didn’t place.

anything better,” he said. “It feels good.”

He hit his time goal Thursday.

“I’ve been really trying to break 9 minutes for a long time,” he said.

On Friday, he easily bested the field in the 1,500 in a time of 4:10.23, taking command early.

He also was Reedsport’s first champion in that event, though brothers Lynn and Gene Faircloth each won the mile (no longer contested) twice in the early 1960s.

“It means a lot to me,” Wilson said of winning both events, adding that his success makes him excited for his senior season.

“It’s given me a lot to look at for next year,” he said. also got a sixth-place finish in the discus by Myles Morgan (124-5).

Gold Beach, meanwhile, got titles in both the throwing events contested Friday.

Korben Storns won the discus with a throw of 149-4 and Nelson Wilstead took the javelin with a heave of 172-2.

Storns had finished fourth in the shot put on Thursday (42-0 ¾). and the Panthers finished 10th, one spot in front of Reedsport, in the team race.

Bandon had a single boys placer. Freshman Noah Brown was third in the pole vault (12-0 ¾).

Freshman Bryleigh Mead was ninth in the 3,000 on Thursday (11:53.51). On Friday, she was 11th (5:11.96) and Faith Gerner 13th (5:24.48) in the 1,500. And the group of Synthia Salazar, Matti Nelson, Gertner and Ada Millet won its heat in the 4x400 relay in a season-best 4:18.61, just missing a spot on the podium when the seventh- and eighth-place teams in the second heat were less than a second faster than Coquille’s time.

The Red Devils did what they needed to do for a third straight title, Cochran said.

“It’s just a really special group of kids,” he said. “I can’t say enough about them.”

Coquille’s only boy in the meet, Jerico Jones, placed fourth in the discus with a best throw of 135-7 on his final throw, which moved him two spots up the standings. He was ninth in the shot put Thursday (41-5 ¾).

Siuslaw’s boys were in the running for the team title until the final event, but ultimately finished third.

Valley Catholic won the relay with a new meet record time of 3:23.49 and Vale was second while the Vikings finished fourth in

3:28.51. That left Valley Catholic in first place with 74 points, Vale in second (69) and Siuslaw in third (68) in the final standings. Siuslaw did win a pair of titles Friday. Kale Jenson took the high jump, clearing 6-0 ¾. And the quartet of Will Johnson, Wesley Nicholls, Derrick Vanduch and Raymundo Brito Xilot won the 4x100 relay in 43.84. Vanduch (40.80) and Jensen (41.01) were fifth and sixth in the 300 hurdles and Jensen also was seventh in the 110 hurdles (16.63). Nicholls was sixth in the 400 (52.43) and Johnson was sixth in the triple jump (41-10). On Thursday, Kale Jensen was second (21-0 ¾) and Johnson fourth (20-9 ¼) in the long jump. In the pole vault, Justin Allen was fourth, Dylan Jensen fifth and Johnson sixth, all clearing 12-7 ¼. Maximus Reynolds was sixth in the shot put (42-11). Siuslaw’s girls got second- and sixth-place finishes by sisters Jane and Danin Lacouture in the shot put, with marks of 35-4 and 34-1 ¼, respectively. Maya Wells was eighth in the 1,500 (5:07.10). On the opening day, Jane Lacouture was fifth in the javelin (1093) and Allison Hughes was seventh in the 3,000 (11:28.07).

The Vikings finished 16th in the girls team race.

Health and Wellness Fair provides educational fun for kids, parents

Almost 300 in attendance.

The second-annual Health, Wellness, and Safety Fair, held April 17 at Ocean Crest Elementary School, taught students and parents alike how to “Treasure Your Health.”

The fair, held in the school’s gym and halls, featured vendors from Coos and Curry counties, displaying goods and services focused on health and safety.

Vendors included Core 10, South Coast Early Learning Hub, Southern Coos Health Foundation, OSU Extension Service, OSU Master Gardeners, Bandon Police, Bandon Public Library, Bandon Fire Department, Curry County Aquatic Safety, Bandon Youth Center, Bandon Vision, Farm &

Sea, Advantage Dental, Kids’ Hope Center, Coos Health & Wellness, Friends of Bandon Parks, Blue Sky Bike Shop, 4-H, ARK, and Smokey Bear.

In addition, there was face painting by Bandon High School students, a free bike raffle (one bike per grade) sponsored by Bandon Lions, a free clothes closet, and dinner provided by Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center’s Dietary Department, served by the BHS softball team.

The event was sponsored by the Southern Coos Health Foundation, Southern Coos Hospital, Bandon Rotary Club, Bandon Lions Club, Joseph Bain, and Roger Straus.

Bandon School District school nurse Liz Deters organized this year’s event. Deters’ position at Ocean Crest, with outreach at Harbor Lights Middle School and

Bandon High School, is funded through a collaboration with the Southern Coos Health Foundation and the Bandon School District, in addition to grants and donations from the community. This is the fourth year the School Nurse position has been in place with much benefit to local schoolchildren and families.

“We had an awesome turnout for our ‘Treasure Your Health’ Health, Wellness, and Safety Fair,” Deters said. “We had close to 300 in attendance. We could not have made it possible without all our awesome vendors. They brought fun with games and goodies for the families.

“Each vendor took the time to reach out and connect with our families,” Deters added. “They say it takes a village and that is what this fair was. It was our village coming together and making

connections with our families. It was so beautiful to watch.”

Deters said one of her goals this year was to find people to attend the fair who could inform families about what the community offers and who to go to for services.

“We have families in crisis situations,” Deters said. “I needed them to know that we are a safe place, and we have safe solutions for them.”

Deters also enlisted student helpers for the event, giving them the title of Health Ambassadors. The students helped with set-up and tear-down and ensured vendors were cared for throughout the fair.

“It was important to me that we had student involvement,” she said. “From an early age, leadership and service were at the forefront of my learning and I want to

see that for our students. I did not have to work hard to find our helpers. Kids naturally want to participate, and they jumped at the opportunity.”

“I am humbled and grateful to be a part of this community,” Deters added. “Next year we hope to expand our health fair even further with hopes of bringing awareness to drug and suicide prevention. I’m so proud of our students and all the helpers in our community. Southern Coos Health Foundation, our amazing sponsors, and outstanding vendors made all of this possible.

“Bandon is so lucky to have the support of this wonderful Southern Coos Health Foundation bringing our community together and putting our children’s health, safety, and wellness a number one priority. I am honored to be a part of the Foundation and district.”

Oregon State scientists, collaborators say ocean biodiversity work needs improvement

BY STEVE LUNDEBERG

Guest Column

An international collaboration that includes two Oregon State University scientists says the world’s largest marine protected areas aren’t collectively delivering the biodiversity bene ts they could be because of slow implementation of management strategies and a failure to restrict the most impactful human activities.

Their analysis of the 100 biggest marine protected areas or MPAs, which account for nearly 90% of the Earth’s protected ocean areas, was published today in Conservation Letters.

Ocean biodiversity supports human life by regulating climate, producing oxygen and food, and providing many other bene ts. Having many different species in an area helps ward off negative impacts on the ocean ecosystem, impacts that can include damage to human food supplies as well as a loss of genes and molecules with potential importance in medicine and industry.

The research evaluated key indicators for biodiversity success based on criteria established by “The MPA Guide: A framework to achieve global goals for the ocean,” published in Science in 2021. Kirsten Grorud-Colvert, a marine ecologist in the OSU College of Science, was the lead author of the guide and one of 11 co-authors on the justpublished analysis.

“Now more than ever we need healthy and biodiverse areas in the ocean to bene t people and help buffer threats to ocean ecosystems.

Marine protected areas can only achieve this if they are set up to be effective, just and durable,” Grorud-Colvert said. “Our assessment

shows how some of the largest protected areas in the world can be strengthened for lasting bene ts.”

Marine protected areas are parts of the ocean managed to achieve the long-term conservation of nature. They are established to protect and recover marine biodiversity, promote healthy and resilient ecosystems, and provide lasting bene ts to both people and the planet.

As the world aims to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 – a target set by a United Nations international agreement – the assessment provides a reminder that achieving that goal requires both increased quantity and improved quality of marine protected areas, Grorud-Colvert said.

The report’s ndings also raise questions about the effectiveness of current conservation efforts in achieving the declared goals of marine protection, she added.

Beth Pike of the nonpro t Marine Conservation Institute led the assessment and said the intended outcomes of marine protected areas are closely linked to the MPAs’ design and management.

“MPAs can deliver signi cant bene ts to people, nature and the planet, but unfortunately, we see vast gaps between the amount of ocean covered by MPAs and the strength of those protections in many cases,” she said. “Quality, not just quantity, should indicate progress toward reaching the goal of protecting at least 30% of the ocean by 2030.”

The World Database on Protected Areas from the UN’s Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre lists more than 18,000 marine protected areas covering 30 million

square kilometers –roughly 8% of the global ocean. The 100 largest MPAs together cover about 26.3 million square kilometers.

The MPA Guide connects conservation outcomes to scienti c evidence, providing a framework to categorize MPAs and whether they are set up to successfully contribute to those outcomes. MPAs have proven they can be effective tools for ocean conservation when set up and run properly, but today’s report highlights wide variations in design, goals, regulations and management.

For example, Grorud-Colvert said, some MPAs allow oil and gas exploration, industrial shing and aquaculture, while others are highly protected. One-quarter of the areas lack management plan implementation.

Without regulations or management, these areas are no different from surrounding unprotected waters and cannot deliver conservation bene ts, said another Oregon State marine ecologist, Jenna Sullivan-Stack, also a co-author of the assessment.

“When people hear that an area of ocean is a marine protected area, we expect a healthy ocean area with abundant marine life that sustains local communities in the long term. That’s not always the case,” SullivanStack said. “Here we’ve used a standardized assessment method to provide an evidencebased understanding of where we actually stand on ocean protection in MPAs, and we show that a large portion of the global marine protected area is not actually set up or functioning to achieve these goals.”

Linda Frances Potmesil

July 17, 1942 - April 12, 2024

A Celebration of Life for Linda Frances Potmesil, 81, of Coos Bay, will be held Saturday, June 8th, 2024, from 1pm to 3pm at the Red Lion Inn, 1313 N Bayshore Drive in Coos Bay.

Linda passed away peacefully Friday, April 12, 2024 in Cottage Grove, Oregon. She was born to Oliver and Geneva Henneke July 17, 1942 in San Antonio Texas.

She was preceded in death by her son Robert Potmesil and by her loving husband of 49 years, Rev. Frank Potmesil III, who she met at Howard Payne University in 1960. They later married in 1961. In 1969, Frank and Linda moved to Coos Bay to begin pastoring at Calvary Baptist Church in Eastside, Oregon. After a year, they started their own nondenominational church, Potter’s House Christian Center. Services first began at Eastside Elementary School in Coos Bay.

Linda spent most of her years serving as the church worship leader and Sunday school teacher. She had a passion for Jesus and her expression of that was not only evident in her warm personality, but also in her passion for worship. She always had a soft spot in her heart for the older hymns and sang them often. Linda was a talented pianist, and music was always an essential part of her.

She always enjoyed working tirelessly in her garden and in her kitchen. She loved waking up the household to the smell of homemade popovers often covered in her own homemade strawberry jam.

She was never happier than when she was spending time with family and doting on her grandchildren.

Highway crash kills 1, sends 4 to hospital

Country Media, Inc.

One person has died, four other people hospitalized, following a head-on crash on Highway 101 in Coos County.

Oregon State Police (OSP) responded to a three-vehicle crash on Highway 101, near milepost 250, at approximately 4:35 p.m. May 13.

According to OSP, the preliminary investigation

indicated a northbound Nissan Frontier, operated by Tracy Martin Goforth (63) of Gold Beach, crossed into the southbound lane for unknown reasons and struck a Toyota Prius, operated by Ronald Willam Lyons (76) of Bandon, head-on. The Nissan came to rest in the northbound lane while the Prius spun in the southbound lane and struck a Toyota Venza, operated by

Dennis Joseph Dugan (70) of Bandon, nearly headon.

The operator of the Nissan (Goforth) was transported and declared deceased at the hospital. The operator of the Prius (Ronald Lyons) and passenger, Delia Villarreal Lyons (73) of Bandon, were transported due to injuries suffered during the crash. The operator of the Venza (Dennis Dugan) and

passenger, Mary Therese Dugan (69) of Bandon, were transported due to injuries suffered during the crash.

The highway was impacted for approximately 15 hours during the on-scene investigation. The cause of the crash was under investigation at press time. Green Acres Fire, Bandon Fire, and ODOT, assisted OSP at the crash scene.

According to a new study by Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the National Institute on Aging, men and women with hearing loss are much more likely to develop dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. People with severe hearing loss, the study reports, were 5 times more likely to develop dementia than those with normal hearing.

Do you feel that people mumble or do not speak clearly?

Do you turn the TV up louder than others need to? Do family or friends get frustrated when you ask them to repeat themselves?

An Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) adult in custody, Michael Brent Currie, passed away May 9, 2024. Currie was incarcerated at Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP) in Salem and passed away at the institution. As with all in-custody deaths, the Oregon State Police have been notified, and the State Medical Examiner will determine cause of death. Currie entered DOC custody on March 15,

2022, from Coos County with an earliest release date of June 14, 2024. Currie was 70 years old. DOC takes all in-custody deaths seriously. The agency is responsible for the care and custody of approximately 12,000 individuals who are incarcerated in 12 institutions across the state. While crime information is public record, DOC elects to disclose only upon request out of respect for any family or victims.
