Dolphin Playhouse hosting

one-weekend one-woman show

WORLD STAFF

Corrie Gant, a Bandon playwright and actor, is bringing her original one-woman show, ‘Tales from the Kitchen Table’ to the Dolphin Playhouse for one weekend only, June 7 through 9. Her show will be accompanied by a piece called ‘Lemonade’ by James Prideaux, featuring Alyson Lyons and Amber Nicole Majeski, both of whom last appeared in Beauty and the Beast in December at the Dolphin Playhouse.

In ‘Tales from the Kitchen Table,’ a writer, while meditating in an effort to nd inspiration for a play, meets a mysterious old woman. She guides the writer through a panoply of female archetypes by giving the writer different names, trying to nd her real name. At times humorous, sad, and scary,

‘Tales from the Kitchen Table’ is one woman’s journey through the joys and sorrows of being female, of being human. Corrie Gant studied at the Dell’Arte School of Mask, Mime, and Comedy (now Dell’Arte International). She returned to Bandon thirty-seven years ago to live in the house her grandparents built and raise a family. Corrie adapted and directed two of Moliere’s plays for the Bandon Playhouse, and was co-founder of Prosper Road Productions which produced not only ‘The Last Flapper,’ ‘Waiting for Godot,’ and ‘Rumors,’ but also two of her original pieces, ‘The Folly of the Lighthouse Keeper’s Daughter’ and ‘The Lost History of Bandon.’ She toured the previous incarnation of ‘Tales From the Kitchen Table’ from Gold Beach to Willamette University in 1997.

WE ARE HIRING

Do you like working with people? Helping them be successful? Learning their story?

‘Lemonade” by James Prideaux, gives us the story of Ethel and Mable, a pair of middle-aged Peoria housewives who independently decide to brighten up their middle-class lives by setting up lemonade stands. The two trade spiked lemonade and tales, and gradually the truths begins to emerge about their lives and the illusions they live by. The two matrons are funny and poignant in this period piece, set in the Midwest in the ‘60s.

Curtain is at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday (June 7 and 8) and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 9. Saturday is pay what you can, with admission by donation only. On Friday and Sunday, prices are $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and students, and $8 for children.

Reservations may be made by calling the Dolphin Playhouse at 541-808-2611.

new welcome sign was installed in North Bend this week. Heading southbound on the 101, over Bay Bridge, and onto North Bend’s main street the new, nautical inspired sign cannot be missed when passing the North Flag Island.

The original idea began with Bryan Owen, former North Bend Parks Superintendent. Current Community Development Manager, Stephanie Wilson, continued Owen’s vision for the project.

The City contracted ArtSigns, a Coos Bay based sign making company, for the building and installation of the new sign, which is an echo of the boat sculpture welcoming northbound traf c on the Oregon Coast Highway into the town. ArtSigns has been in the business of beautifying the South Coast since 1968.

In addition to welcoming visitors and returning locals alike, the signs are lovely tributes to the nautical history that is still intrinsic to North Bend’s way of life today. North Bend’s City Administrator David Milliron agreed with this perspective, as he said in the City’s announcement of the project’s completion.

“The new welcome signs are more than just markers; they are symbols of our community's identity and pride. Emblazoned with ‘Welcome to North Bend,’ these signs capture the essence of what makes North Bend unique. They serve as a warm greeting to visitors and a proud reminder to residents of the values and beauty that de ne our city,” wrote Milliron about the new signs.

Further enhancements are already in the works, as the City hopes to include upgraded lighting to these new xtures of the town. Welcome aesthetic improvements such as this can only foster a greater sense of communal pride, and serve to make visitors to our community feel that much more welcome.

December 5, 1954 – May 12, 2024

In loving memory of Sallie Haynes, who passed away on May 12, 2024. Sallie was born in Bandon, Oregon December 5, 1954. She married Clint Haynes in North Bend, Oregon, February 14, 1983, and together they shared a beautiful life.

Sallie was a remarkable cook, known for her delicious zucchini bread and her festive Christmas treats— peanut butter and butterscotch cookies, affectionately referred to as “Reindeer turds.” Her culinary talents brought joy to many, especially during the holiday season. For over 20 years,

Sallie served as the Garden Store Manager at Coos Grange Store. Her green thumb and passion for gardening inspired those around her. She loved tending to her own garden, camping, and exploring the great outdoors. Whether digging for clams or crabbing by the coast, Sallie found solace in nature. Her collection of nutcrackers was a testament to her eclectic interests. Ranging from 6 feet to 3 inches in height, these whimsical figures adorned her home and brought smiles to visitors. Sallie’s zest for life and her ability to find beauty in the everyday made her a true gem—a diamond in the rough.

She leaves behind cherished memories and a legacy of warmth, kindness, and laughter. Sallie will be dearly missed by her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

May she rest in peace. A Celebration of Life

Officials emphasize safety and sound compliance at Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area

Forest Service staff and volunteers are excited to welcome visitors to the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (ODNRA) for the busy summer season. The ODNRA offers a variety of multi-use recreation opportunities including hiking, boating, wildlife viewing, and Off-High Vehicle (OHV) riding. This year, special attention will be given to safety education and sound compliance activities in OHV riding areas.

“Members of our

OHV community will notice courtesy sound checks, sound enforcement checkpoints, and sound education programming,” said Central Coast Deputy District Ranger Jeremy Aujero. “Additionally, all visitors to the ODNRA are asked to respect closures, out-of-bounds zones, and quiet hours. We appreciate everyone’s help to care for the land and provide a family-friendly place where people can visit for generations to come.”

Sounds checks and an emphasis on sound education help OHV riders understand sound limits, why they’re important, and how to comply. Excessive sound may disturb adjacent landowners, other recreationists, and sensitive wildlife. The Oregon Dunes Management Plan (1994) establishes standards for OHV sound rules and sound monitoring. The current ODNRA sound limit is 93 decibels, as measured from an OHV’s tailpipe while the vehicle

is stationary. Violation of the sound limit may be cause for citation. Several permitted OHV events may take place at various recreation sites over the summer resulting in heavier use, increased traffic and limited access to certain areas. As these permits are issued, more information on these events and specific dates will be shared on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area website.

The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 09/10/2024 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not

apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: • 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR • AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TO-MONTH OR WEEK-TO-WEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’slength transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in

ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE

The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf;

and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.

DEAR Breaking Heart:

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN

The rst photo I am sharing this week is the medical building, which was built within a couple of months after the re that destroyed 500 homes and killed 11 people in Bandon on Sept. 26, 1936. Said to be a temporary building, as evidenced by its name "Temporary Medical Center," the basic structure of the building remains today as Sassy Seagull, Winter River Books and Bandon Baking Co.

Occupying the building were the druggist Otto Shindler, owner of Fuhrman & Shindler, Inc., the local Rexall Drug Store; doctors Arthur Gale and E.F. Lucas; and dentists, F.W. Dodds and F.W. Gould. Carr's Variety, owned by a man from Roseburg and operated for years by Elsie Hamilton, was at the west end of the building.

I know it was built very shortly after the Fire because Dr. Gale died of complications from smoke inhalation in December, four months after the Fire.

At the far east end, on the side door, is the name John Nielson, who was a local insurance agent and notary public.

Over the years, Bill Dodds, son of Dr. Dodds, often comes to Bandon to attend the Fire program at Bandon's History Museum, which also honors re survivors, of which there are fewer each year.

Even though the Bob-Otto Court (second photo) opened only two months before the Fire at Highway 101 (2nd Street) and Elmira, it was one of the lucky ones. Several buildings in that end of town, including the BobOtto Court, the old Coast Lumber Yard, the home I grew up in and the home next door (owned by my uncle Clyde Stearns) survived the Fire as did the high school and a few homes in East Bandon.

The Bob-Otto Court (at right) served as the relief headquarters for a number of emergency services right after the Fire. The Nestles Milk Condensery (left background) and Moore Mill (right background) also escaped burning.

Many people lived in the small apartments in the Auto Court, as well as in tents located directly behind the buildings along the waterfront, after the Fire. It was later purchased by the Texaco company, and was torn down in 1957 to make way for a service station. Today it is the site of the Chevron station.

I am not sure what year the third photo of the Bullards Bridge was taken, but it was among me collection of Western World negatives from the '50s, '60s and '70s.

I imagine it was taken by my late uncle Lou Felsheim as he lived at Randolph and crossed the bridge several times a day. Note that the bridge is open to allow a large vessel to go to the mill on the east side of the highway, which property is soon to be the home of a large RV resort.

I learned this week that former Bandon chiropractor Dr. Michael Currie died in an Oregon State prison recently, just before his June 2024 release. He was 70 years old.

An item in my Dec. 8, 2021, As I See It reported that Currie of Melton Road, Bandon, had been arrested the previous week by law enforcement on several charges including domestic menacing, tampering with a witness and violating a release agreement. At his arrest, he was lodged in the Coos County Jail.

It appears that the top two candidates for Position 1 on the Coos County Board of Commissioners, Drew Farmer and incumbent Bob Main, will face off in November as neither candidate received the required 51 percent of the votes. Farmer, a Coos Bay city councilor, had 48 percent, Main had 34 percent and the third challenger Chris Castleman nished with 18 percent.

The ve-year local option public safety levy failed 59% to 40%. Sheriff Gabe Fabrizio issued a statement after the defeat of the levy. "We have de nitely enjoyed and appreciated the support we have received from the community, but we understand the levy was untenable at this time. So what happens now to the Sheriff's and DA's of ces? We will continue to serve the county to the best of our ability with resources allocated to us. We will be meeting soon to amend the budget, where the commissioners and civilian budget committee will have to decide how much our budgets will be reduced, as there is still a substantial shortfall to account for. I will release the results of that when I am able," said the sheriff.

State Senator David Brock Smith defeated challenger Todd Vaughn 55 to 31%. Representative Court Boice ran unopposed. Bandon attorney Jody Newby

replaces Paul Frasier as District Attorney. Frasier, who has served our county for 39 years, did not seek re-election. Newby has been an assistant DA in his of ce.

The Coquille School District general obligation bond for school facilities improvement failed with 64 percent voting no. The Myrtle Point health district levy to improve ambulance operations was winning 51 to 48%.

In Curry County, County Commissioner John Herzog lost to challenger Patrick Hollinger 60 to 38 percent. Commissioner Jay Trost ran unopposed. Sheriff John Ward handily turned back a challenge by Jeremy Krohn with 62% of the vote. The county law enforcement levy was crushed, 72 to 28 percent.

I talked recently to long-time city councilor Brian Vick, who is in Medford with his daughter, where he was diagnosed and is being treated for stage one pancreatic cancer.

"There are many treatment options to explore," Vick told me.

His many friends are praying for a good outcome. Vick served many years on the hospital board as well as mayor and currently on the council. He operates an antique business in the Continuum Center in Old Town.

The Port Orford Beacon had an item recently about the arrest of former Port Orford city administrator Jessica L. Ginsburg, 43, who was charged with criminal conspiracy, rst degree theft, computer crime, identity theft, improper transfer of a rearm and furnishing rearm used in a felony. She was reportedly booked on May 22, and according to the Beacon "is out on bail."

The current Port Orford city administrator is Melissa Radcliffe, who formerly served as principal of Bandon High School, before leaving mid-year. She replaces former Curry County counsel John Huttl, and incoming Port Orford Rotary president, who served as interim administrator for ve months.

The Bandon Historical Society's Meet and Greet program for this Tuesday, May 28, will be archaeologist Reg Pullen, who will talk about the ancient history of the Coquille River at the Bandon Fisheries Warehouse. Seating opens

at 11:30, and the program begins at noon. There is no charge to attend.

The annual meeting of the Bandon Library Friends and Foundation is Tuesday, May 28, at 2 p.m. at the Bandon Library Sprague Room. The non-pro t organization supports the Bandon Library. People are urged to come to the meeting and learn what has been accomplished and what is planned for next year. It is open to the public and BLFF members are encouraged to attend.

bikes from Portland for students to use.

I was surprised Sunday evening, just as I was starting to write my column, when a knock on the door turned out to be Bandon police of cer Zack Carpenter, who was holding my debit card. He said a Bandon resident named Maria Smith had found it lying in a parking space in front of Ray's, and I told him that I had just come from there a short time ago.

The First Saturday Art Walk, sponsored by the Bandon Chamber, will be held Saturday, June 1, from 4 to 6:30, with $10 glasses and a map available at the chamber visitor center in Old Town.

"With the generous donations from donors, FOBPR was able to participate in both the Ocean Crest Annual Health Fair and conduct the rst-ever Bike Rodeo for 60 Ocean Crest third graders," said Hall. "The donated funds purchased six youth bicycles, 100 helmets, 100 bicycle pins, 20 water bottles, artwork for handouts and bicycle parts poster, 20 cycling booklets in English and Spanish, one bicycle pump, chain lubrication, and air, brake and chain bookmarks.

"Bike Rodeo was kicked off by Chief Cory Dhillon of the Bandon Police Department, who discussed the rules of the road and how to watch out for cars."

I certainly appreciated having it returned ... before I went into panic mode when I discovered it missing.

A special thanks to Maria for nding it and turning it in.

I also had my driver's license in my hand, but I managed to fold myself into my little sports car without losing it!

News Nation reported that Jesse Calhoun, who was one of the prisoners granted clemency by former Governor Kate Brown, has since been accused of the murder of ve women in the Portland area. The news ash had a picture of the former governor, described as having "released hardened criminals back into the community early ... because she could."

beautiful to look at and challenging to sail – like, say, a 66-foot brigantine rigged sailboat,” Janet said. Thus – the idea of the ‘pirate ship’ Serenity was born.

The Gollys said they didn’t quite realize how much of a project they were actually embarking on when they started the conversion.

“I’ve built boats before – but nothing like this, nothing this big,” Steve said.

But it was a dream they didn’t give up on. Ten years after starting the project, the Gollys got to see their vision come to fruition.

The Serenity was transferred from the Charleston shipyard into the water for its’ maiden voyage in mid-May.

The Golly’s said the Serenity is a unique topside.

“Although the rigging is traditional, and she looks like a ship from the past, all nine sails can be handled from deck,” the couple said.

They said this is unusual for a square sailed vessel. The steering is hydraulic as is auxiliary propulsion. The ship has modern electronics and anchor handling. On deck, the vessel also features fun pirate-like tools and accessories –including a treasure chest.

“The only thing missing is the cannons,” Janet said.

The Serenity was designed to be very comfortable below decks with a roomy main salon and galley. It features hand-crafted woodwork and modern-day amenities.

“The master’s cabin is a true eye catcher. She has two full heads with showers and a second stateroom forward, as well as a laundry area with washer/dryer,” the Golly’s said.

The galley even features a full-sized refrigerator.

“It truly is one-of-akind,” Janet said.

The pair of retirees said putting Serenity in the water for its’ maiden voyage was a moment they will never forget.

“It felt great to again

be behind the helm of our own boat. It has been over a decade since having that experience. Serenity is a pleasure to handle and she handles very well – a pleasure to coxswain,” Steve said.

“It was a moment of pride and joy,” Janet added.

The couple had originally planned to live aboard Serenity – but instead they have made the hard decision to put her on the market.

“Life moves on and we are selling Serenity. Hopefully the new owner will feel the same connection to it that we have,” they said.

partments to design and complete the project.

This work has made our relationships stronger and the College’s fire science program more advanced, which helps students achieve even greater success,” Scott said.

“It also ensures quality training opportunities for rural volunteers so that the College is able to keep a pipeline of highly trained firefighters moving into departments as older professionals retire,” she said.

The 36-foot-tall steel structure meets International Building Code/ National Fire Protection Association standards.

It will provide students, volunteers, and professionals space to practice a variety of skills, including interior search and rescue, fire drills to learn fire behavior and suppression, safe ventilation operations, aerial firefighting, rappelling and ladder training, day and night

fire drills, response and rescue, and more.

The College anticipates this $1 million investment also will support regional safety and enhance annual disaster response training events that can bring together lifesavers from local fire departments, the U.S. Coast Guard, medical facilities and ambulance firms.

With this investment, regional municipal and volunteer fire departments from western Douglas, Coos and Curry counties will have ongoing opportunities to train at the College close to home without leaving the region. Southwestern’s partner school Columbia Pacific Maritime also will have the ability to provide professional mariners with maritime firefighting certification classes.

“Through hard work and determination by College staff and local fire agencies, the new fire tower is ready. This will serve as a symbol of pride for years to come, and provide an effective manner in which to train not

only today’s firefighters, but tomorrows as well,” said Coos Bay Fire Chief Mark Anderson.

Previously, the College used a wood-frame tower built by volunteers with donated materials in 1981 for limited training. The wood structure did not meet industry standards, and could not be used for live fire or rescue drills. With the new tower, the College was also able to expand and improve the training area around the tower, allowing better access and for more people to train together at one time.

The project was funded with grants and donations. Organizations that made this project a reality are SWOCC Foundation, Ford Family Foundation, Bandon Dunes Charitable Foundation, City of Coos Bay, North Bend Volunteer Firefighters Association, Central Coos Fire & Rescue; and the State of Oregon via the work of Sen. David Brock Smith, Sen. Dick Anderson and Rep. Boomer Wright.

Marshfield Sun Printing Museum Open This Summer

Why do we call capital letters “upper case” and the other letters “lower case”? Why do we call it “typing”? Find the answer to these and much more any Thursday through Saturday summer afternoons when you visit The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum on Coos Bay’s historic waterfront. The Sun’s original—and now historic— printing presses and other fascinating equipment can be viewed up close as skilled volunteers interpret and demonstrate how they work. Printing Museum volunteers also answer questions about the Museum’s exhibits on printing and office technology, as well as on the life of the Sun’s founder, Jesse Luce. Combine a visit to the Marshfield Sun with a visit to the nearby Coos History Museum for a jam-packed afternoon of interesting local history. The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum is a unique printing museum located in that building at the north end of Front Street on Coos Bay’s historic waterfront. The unusually shaped building was built as the home for the Marshfield Sun newspaper and print shop in 1911. The Marshfield Sun was a working newspaper office and print shop from 1891 to 1944—and is today essentially as it was left in 1944, with additional exhibits on the walls and upstairs. The Marshfield Sun Printing Museum’s regular summer hours begin the day after Memorial Day and go through Labor Day: 1pm – 4pm Wednesday through Saturday. Admission is free, although donations are encouraged. Find the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum on Facebook for photos and more!

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

Trump’s Attempted White House Return Faces Headwinds of History

By J. Mark Powell InsideSources.com

The 2024 presidential race is unlike anything that’s happened in our lifetime. It’s a grudge match for the ages, a replay of 2020 that will likely end with either Donald Trump pulling a Grover Cleveland (by serving two non-consecutive terms), or with Joe Biden being the first president since Dwight Eisenhower to beat the same opponent twice in a row.

The last time a former president appeared on the November ballot for a shot at returning to the White House was in 1912, the year the Titanic sank. Perhaps that’s because, like the Titanic, most ex-president comeback attempts have been disasters.

Take Ulysses S. Grant. Winning the Civil War helped him sail into the White House in 1868. Though personally honest, Grant made the mistake of surrounding himself with men who weren’t. His administration was plagued by scandal, and he often bemoaned the burdens of the office.

In his farewell address at the end of 1876, Grant wrote, “With the present term of Congress my official life terminates. It is not probable that public affairs will ever again receive attention from me further than as a citizen of the Republic.”

But after a round-theworld tour with his wife, where Grant was loudly cheered and frequently feted, he changed his mind and entered the 1880 presidential race.

Unlike Trump, Grant was far from a lock when the GOP convention convened.

Popular Sen. James G. Blaine, R-Maine, had lined up solid support from the delegates and was neck-and-neck with Grant on the first ballot. But after a grueling 36 ballots (the longest-ever Republican National Convention), Grant lost to dark horse candidate Rep. James Garfield of Ohio, who went on the win the presidency. (And was assassinated soon thereafter.)

Another Republican president who desperately wanted redemption but got the boot instead was Herbert Hoover. In perhaps the worst timing in American politics, Hoover was elected in 1928, making him America’s president for the 1929 stock market crash and the Great Depression that followed. Not surprisingly, unhappy voters showed Hoover the White House door in 1932, replacing him with Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt. (Who, incidentally, went on to shatter George Washington’s two-term tradition by seeking — and winning — the office four times.)

Like Grant before him, Hoover was itching for another bite of the chief executive apple. Unfortunately for him, Republican voters didn’t feel the same way. After flirting with seeking the nomination in 1936, Hoover

actually entered the race in 1940. For his trouble, he got nothing more than a mere 17 delegates and a warm round of applause at the convention.

In the pre-Civil War era, ex-presidents Martin Van Buren and Millard Fillmore both ran for the office again. And both failed miserably. But the Mother of all Presidential Comeback Attempts was in 1912. And it was a doozie.

The assassination of William McKinley in 1901 made 42-year-old Theodore Roosevelt the youngest person to serve as president. In 1904, Roosevelt was elected in his own right. Then, in a move that still baffles historians, he did something incredibly stupid. Caught up in a moment of euphoria on Election Night, Roosevelt blurted out that he wouldn’t seek re-election in 1908.

Roosevelt regretted making the pledge but, as a man of his word, he was determined to keep it. And so in 1912, the man who perhaps loved being president more than any other handed over the reins to someone else.

His handpicked successor, William H. Taft, was easily elected. But there was a problem. Roosevelt was a progressive, and Taft was a conservative.

The two quickly split, ending their close personal friendship and hurting Taft deeply in the process. Teddy challenged his former BFF for the Republican nomination in 1912. Taft controlled the party machinery and had no trouble securing the nomination. And Teddy being Teddy, he bolted the GOP and ran on a third-party progressive ticket (nicknamed the Bull Moose Party).

That fractured Repub-

lican support, enabling Democratic progressive Woodrow Wilson to win the White House with just

42 percent of the vote. And still, Teddy was ready to ride again. After considerable fence-mending within the GOP, including patching things up personally with Taft, Roosevelt was planning to run in 1920. Instead, he suffered a heart attack and died in his sleep in early 1919. Fast forward to 2024: An incumbent president is preparing to face off against his immediate predecessor. The GOP is hampered by a significant number of Never Trump voters, while the Democrats’ progressive wing is increasingly angry with their party’s soon-to-be 82-year-old standard bearer. Add to that a host of independents (most notably Robert F. Kennedy Jr.) circling around both camps. How will it turn out? Nobody knows. But this much is certain: You’ll want to have your history book handy once the result is known. Because it will need to be updated. ABOUT THE WRITER J.

Wyden Visits South Coast Counties

Oregon's US Senator Ron Wyden (D) conducted his 1,083rd Town Hall, fulling his commitment to hold on-site public engagements in all 36 counties, annually.

Last Tuesday’s Town Hall at the Gold Beach High Gymnasium was part of the senator’s southwest swing from Josephine, Curry, Coos and Douglas counties.

The audience of about 40 was offered numbered tickets and when called upon, spoke with Wyden on a cross section of various issues important to Curry County constituents.

Off-Shore Wind Development dominated the dialogue between constituents and Sen. Wyden. Other subjects addressed included complaints with the Post Of ce, the Federal minimum wage, Medicare confusion, The challenging condition of Highway 101, assistance with the vexing condition of funding Social Security and the need for billionaires to pay more taxes.

• Wyden was reluctant to articulate a position of off-shore wind power. “ This isn’t an either-or question. I won’t pit shing families against the environment. I urge each of you to weigh in before any substantial development decisions

are made by voicing your views to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on proposed leases by deadlines rapidly approaching. Wyden admonished federal of cials “ to do better” when it comes to acting on Oregonians’ concerns on considering alternate sites for wind energy options.

CEO / General Manager of Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative Brent Bischoff shared his energy concerns when he addressed the Senator, “ Blackouts are inevitable if government does not relax onerous carbon footprint regulations.” The Senator asked Bischoff for his common sense recommendations. Bischoff responded, “ America has extensive Natural Gas reserves and Nuclear Power small generators are common sense alternatives.” The Coos-Curry Electric CEO encouraged Sen. Wyden to explore natural gas and nuclear options, expediently. Wyden tipped his hat and commended Coos-Curry Electric for its excellent operations.

• When asked about the not-so-secure Border, Wyden said he’s voted twice this year to support the Senate’s consideration of immigration and border policy reform, but blamed Republicans for blocking that important debate twice, after what Wyden said was an agreed upon bipartisan border deal. Wyden touted his support of more than $166 billion to invest in more of cers, better technology and equipment and physical barriers.

• Wyden announced along with Washington

Representative Kim Schrier (D-Washington) reintroducing the bi-partisan National Prescribed Fire Act of 2024. 2022 legislation was critical in supporting pre- re season prescribed burns as an essential science-based strategy to save lives and property. The Act for 2024 would invest in hazardous fuels management to reduce the risk of blistering infernos by increasing the pace and scale of prescribed burns, during cooler, wetter months.

Representative David Valadao (R-California) joined Wyden in introducing the legislation, May 23.

A subject not broached upon was the growing movement by 13 disgruntled counties in the Beaver state and seeking to join the Gem state, neighboring Idaho, as part of a Greater Idaho movement. Those counties hold more than 50 percent of the landmass but just nine per cent of the State’s population. Wyden was circumspect in expressing his opposition to losing a huge swath of Oregon. “I want to hear from all parts of Oregon and unite us as a state; that’s why I visit every country in Oregon. Wyden wrote the Secure Rural Schools legislation that has brought upwards of $4 billion to largely rural Oregon, multiple bills to ght wild res and advocate successfully for record amounts of investment in rural broadband.”

The continued increase in passengers through the airport terminal is good news for South Coast residents and the Coos County Airport District, according to airport representatives.

The Coos County Airport District is continuing the effort to expand commercial air service for commuters.

commercial ights to and from Denver.

"Denver is a major gateway for tourists visiting the South Coast and it provides expanded travel options for residents to get to their destinations, visit family or friends, or conduct business," he said.

The number one request is for the airport to provide northbound service to either Portland or Seattle, Kilmer said.

In April, the CCAD Board of Commissioners approved an expanded contract with the Aviation Consulting Firm, Voltaire Aviation. Airport administration and the board have scheduled a meeting with the consul-

tant to discuss the hurdles in expanding routes and an effective strategy to encourage a northbound ight.

Airport of cials will also attend a conference later this year to meet with multiple carriers in person to discuss Portland air service.

The Coos County Airport District is one of 1000 special districts in the State of Oregon.

“It provides a critical service to citizens on the South Coast and is a vital part of the state's aviation plan that links to the Oregon Transportation Plan – a long-range vision and policy foundation to guide transportation system development and investment,” said Kilmer.

Brown Pelicans arriving injured and malnourished BROWN PELICANS

Brown Pelicans have been making the news following concerns from experts over an in ux of birds that are showing signs of emaciation and injury. Normally migrating North this time of year from their Winter homes in Southern California and Mexico, the Brown Pelicans should be making their way to their yearly breeding grounds.

Instead, researchers on the coast of Northern California and Southern Oregon have found hundreds of birds emaciated from hunger or stranded from injury. At current, experts have two prevalent theories for why this is occurring: food inaccessibility and late-Spring storms.

Representatives from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife have stated that their strongest theory is a combination of the two. With many storms hitting the coast, wind speeds have been harder to manage, and waters have been choppier than usual.

This has led biologists to believe that the pelicans simply cannot reach the sh below-surface that they normally would rely on. Rescuers with the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center at the SPCA in Monterey Bay have observed that birds are arriving at half their normal weight. Most of the rescue calls they have received have been on piers and public docks.

This is a bad sign, as pelicans should be naturally wary of humans and normally seek their meals at sea. Instead, many pelicans are targeting marinas and docks as easy sources of food, with shing vessels often unloading their hauls.

Experts say that a sure sign of a pelican potentially in need of rescue is their willingness to let you approach. If there is a pelican near you, and it is not wary of your presence, odds are there’s something wrong and a local wildlife center should be contacted.

Jason Badger, an Assistant District Wildlife Biologist with the ODFW, has observed similarly concerning signs along the South Coast, attributing most of what he’s seen to storms as well.

“One thing that stands out, locally at least, is the number of ‘stranded’ pelicans we’re seeing and receiving reports of this spring. The majority of these appear to be juvenile birds and I suspect it has a lot to do with the high wind events we’re experiencing along the coast,” stated Badger.

These late storms cause more harm than just reducing the pelicans’ access to food. High winds, especially when blowing counter to the migration routes they are following, can cause the pelicans enormous dif culty with ying. The younger a pelican is, the less likely they’ll be able to ght against the wind current.

“These birds are migrating into the predominant northwest wind, and it appears some of the juveniles are becoming fatigued. I even responded to a call of a pelican that appeared injured, but it turns out its wings were twisted around each other twice, like a garbage bag tie,” observed Badger.

While Badger was able to help that troubled pelican, who quickly recovered, the Brown Pelican in general, which saw a miraculous resurgence in numbers in the later half of the 20th century, are once again an Oregon Conservation Strategy Species. In the past, their population was affected by a toxic chemical that had entered coastal waters, causing their eggs to be too fragile for incubation. Since the banning of that chemical (DDT), the pelicans’ recovery was positive, even to the point of falling off the endangered species list in 2009.
