The World
Reedsport was buzzing over Father’s Day Weekend, as an impressive gathering of chainsaw carving artists transformed giant wooden logs into one-of-a-kind, creative masterpieces. Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Carving Championship’s event organizers report that thousands of spectators pass through the gates each year to witness the artists in action. The 24th-annual event was no different.
Artists who participated in the Carving Championship came from as close as Coos Bay and Bandon, spread throughout the United States, and traveled from far-away places such as Argentina, Australia and Wales.
The event took place at 313 Rainbow Plaza in Reedsport from Thursday, June 15 to Sunday, June 18. Over the course of four days, the carvers revved up their engines to chisel out huge sculptures, and also participated in a 90-minute Quick Carve each day.

Zealand.
“I really loved the combination of running and being out in nature doing something for peace,” she said.
The New Zealander said she was also attracted to the unifying message.
“The message is so simple and so at the heart of each one of us. It's really something that everybody can identify with,” Davies said.
The Peace Run was inspired by visionary Sri Chinmoy to give citi-
zens a dynamic way to express their own hopes and dreams for a more harmonious world. An athlete, philosopher, artist, musician and poet, Sri Chinmoy dedicated his life to advancing the ideals of world harmony.
Chinmoy said: "How can we have peace? Not by talking about peace, but by walking along the road of peace."
For more than 35 years, the International Peace Run has traversed across 160 nations throughout the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia as a symbol of humanity’s universal
aspiration for a more peaceful world.
The first team of runners in the current Peace Run left New York City in April. The continuous relay will also run through three provinces of Canada over a 4-month journey. Runners are scheduled to arrive back in New York in mid-August.
There is also a European Peace Run happening. It started in Portugal in March and will conclude in Hungary in October.
The group of Peace Runners participating in the stretch through Coos Bay and other parts of
Oregon included women from New Zealand, Slovakia, Romania, Bangladesh and Mongolia.
As they ran through Coos Bay, they said they were passing the peace torch from hand-to-hand, heart-to-heart, and community-to-community.
“We kindly ask everyone who touches it to say a wish or prayer for peace that they want to see happen, and then we symbolically carry it around the world,” one of the runners said.
The international peace runners want to give everyone that sees them a moment to reflect on a
yearning for peace that they have in their hearts.
“This gives everyone an encouraging moment to remember that we can all do something and that we all make a difference.
There's so many ways that we can make the world more peaceful.
But it has to start inside our own hearts, inside ourselves and in our communities,” peace-runner Davies said.
More than 7-million people have participated in Sri Chinmoy Oneness-Home Peace Run since it’s beginning in 1987.
Commendations have come from many world
city mayors and celebrities across the world. Carl Lewis, 9-time Olympic Gold-medalist, said: "By carrying the Torch, you will be bridging cultural and social barriers, and all the boundaries that separate nation from nation. You will be the living proof of the ancient vision of having a beautiful and harmonious world."

The Chainsaw Carving Championship event included many souvenir and food and beverage vendors for visitors. Each night, an auction was held, offering spectators the chance to purchase many unique and signature pieces from participating carvers “at a fraction of the price in galleries.”
The event is known to many carvers as the ‘test.’ Carvers have said
they are not satisfied calling themselves a Pro without first winning the Semi-Pro division in Reedsport.
The 2024 Pro Winners are: 1st Place - Emil Szkipala, 2nd Place - Chris Wood, 3rd Place - Jacob Lucas, 4th Place - Justin Driver, 5th Place - Nick Bielby, 6th Place - Chris Foltz, 7th Place - Brandon Kroon, 8th Place - Brian Vorwaller, 9th Place - Bill Baker, 10th Place - Anthony Robinson. The 2024 Semi-Pro
According to the Oregon Divisional Chainsaw Carving Championship website (oregonccc.com) the talented works of the chainsaw artists at the Reedsport show have brought recognition to the City, and in 2011, the State Legislature passed a resolution naming Reedsport "The Chainsaw Carving Capital of Oregon."
Kathleen Marie Leberti
April 8, 1947 – May 7, 2024
Kathleen “Kathie” McCord Leberti, passed away in her Coos Bay, Oregon home surrounded by her beloved family and dear friends on May 7, 2024, after a lengthy battle against Alzheimer’s dementia.
Kathie was born at Keizer Hospital in North
Bend, Oregon on April 8, 1947, to William Dean and Edith Elaine (Johnson) McCord joining sister Sharon. Brother Kevin arrived when she was twelve. She treasured her childhood memories of Sundays with cousins at Grandma & Grandpa Johnson’s, picking berries, climbing down to the beach and jumping on beds while the adults played Pinochle. She attended Milner Crest, Blossom Gulch, Marshfield Junior High and graduated from Marshfield High School where she was a proud member of the class of 1965. She completed legal secretarial training at Merritt Davis School of Commerce and returned to Coos Bay where she
worked for Huggins Insurance and Menasha.
It was during this time that she reconnected with fellow 1965 classmate Lou Leberti. They were married September 14, 1968 at St Monica’s Catholic Church. After a short stint at Fort Riley in Kansas, they returned to Oregon. They welcomed daughters Kim and then Tammie and by 1976 had settled into their forever home built by Lou, overlooking the bay. She filled the yard with a kaleidoscope of plants and her kitchen was never without a supply of cookies, cakes and pies at the ready.
As the girls entered school, she dove headfirst into the role of
Kathryn was born on May 23, 1933 in Portland, Oregon at the old Saint Vincent Hospital. She was born to Irish and Polish immigrants, James and Helen Dorney. Kathryn was proud to share that her father, James, was a stone mason who built
Gary Tesdahl December 16, 1962
Gary A Tesdahl Jr., aka Hagar, born of Doris Morberg Tesdahl and Gary A Tesdahl Sr, passed away 05/28/2024. He is survived by his Wife Caroline; Daughters Erica, Patricia and Stephanie; Son-inlaw Zach, Grandson Grayson and Father, Gary Tesdahl Sr. as well as several Aunts, Uncles, cousins and inlaws. Gary had a great love and passion for his family, animals and his classic automobiles. His love for his family was overwhelming and the joy he had in being with his grandson was
many of the historical buildings in Portland. Kathryn is survived by her older sister, Pat, and her six children, Michael, Cindy, Amy, John, Suzie and Paula. Kathryn also leaves behind 15 grandchildren, 17 greatgrandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Kathryn grew up in Portland in the home built by her father. She fondly remembered the neighborhood she grew up in; playing outdoors, sweeping the sidewalks (to her mother’s dismay), and her father taking her to the Dan and Louis Oyster Bar in downtown Portland for lunch. Kathryn had a Catholic education through high
school and married her high school sweetheart, Henry Sampier. Kathryn and Henry were married in 1953 on Valentine’s Day, and remained married for around 10 years. Kathryn worked in the secretarial field. She worked at the Portland State University book store and the old Oregonian newspaper. Later in life, Kathryn moved to Ireland where she lived for 20 years in multiple counties but ultimately landing in County Mayo. While in Mayo she lived in a thatched cottage with her youngest daughter, Paula. In Ireland she worked at the company Digital, in Galway. Kathryn loved her
something to behold. He asked to be called Gampy by Grayson and so he became Gampy. He always had some small toy he took to Grayson, along with a brass bell on his keyring to ring for Grayson when he was little. He enjoyed teaching his daughters how to work on vehicles, often working on their cars to make sure they were safe and drivable till all hours of the night. He was hoping to start working on the girls’ classic cars soon. He loved his old Chevy step-side that went thru, and sat in, flood water for 3 days before
being rescued, and after draining, drying and refilling all fluids, actually started back up and continues to run to this day. He was in awe of the Coquille Valley Fire department for rescuing him that early morning. There wasn’t an animal that Gary went near that didn’t come up to him to get a pet or a treat. He had a couple of favorites; one was a small rescue pup named BelleStar and Patricia’s goat, Goatie. Gary will be missed terribly by his family and friends. A Remembrance for him will be held August 17th, 1pm to 3pm at Coquille Community Building. We are having a small potluck if you would like to bring something, and if you have a classic car, we would love to see it at the Remembrance.
room mother, fundraiser and team mom and became a mainstay on the Marshfield Booster Club, head cheerleader at all home and away athletics and a steady provider of academic guidance. During this time, she also managed the Coin-OMatic Laundromat & Drycleaners they had purchased and was a support and sounding board for Lou at Vend West Services, their other business.
Not initially enamored with the labradors Lou had for hunting, they soon became her pride and joy, spoiling each one more than the last.
The arrival of their grandchildren allowed her another opportunity
time in Ireland and that little cottage. She instilled a strong love of Ireland with the rest of her family as she enjoyed sharing her family history and memories from those 20 years.
After retiring, Kathryn moved back to the States where she lived in Coos Bay, Oregon for the last 30 years with family. Kathryn loved traveling, especially up and down the coast of Oregon. She loved sitting at the beach and enjoying a basket of fish and chips. She was an avid reader and passed this hobby onto many of her children and grandchildren. She also enjoyed cooking. Any grandchildren that were
to celebrate the joy of children. She was truly in her element baking holiday cookies, reading children’s books, tackling puzzles and coloring with the grandkids. She was by nature a loving caregiver and fiercely meticulous in all she did, including organizing the Spring Tea fundraiser for the Coos Bay Schools Community Foundation, picnics at the Condo in Charleston, ironing jeans or selecting annuals for her planters. She was always more comfortable quietly doing work behind the scenes than being in the spotlight.
Kathie is survived by husband of 55 years, Lou; daughters, Kim Leberti (Dustin Clarke)
around while she was cooking would sit and hope she might share her delicious mac and cheese or savory steaks with them. In her later years she loved being with her great-grandchildren, watching them grow and play. Kathryn lived a long and full life. She was a strong and stubborn woman with a great sense of humor. She made her family laugh often. She was lucky to always be near her large family who gathered around “mom”, “grandma” or “greatgrandma” regularly. This was no different in Kathryn’s death…..she was surrounded by family in the last days of her life.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Shirley had a zest for life and a love for food. She enjoyed cooking various cuisines from around the world and hosting dinner parties for her close friends and family. Her favorite dishes included New York strip steak, all kinds of salads, chicken wings, and her famous fresh strawberry pie with cream cheese and graham cracker crust. Her dill bread was also cherished by those fortunate enough to sample it.
Shirley found pure joy in spending time with her daughter Susan, discussing their shared passion for sewing and quilting. Whether it was sharing a recipe or simply cherishing each other's company, these moments were truly special to Shirley. Her favorite place in the world was on her deck, overlooking the valley with her family, surrounded by her beloved flowers, especially her wisteria and sweet honeysuckle.

In recent times, the Myrtle Point Baptist Church became her spiritual home. Shirley was preceded in death by her husbands, Gary Melvin Vatne (married 1960), Eldred Jean Leep (married 1968), and Donald Erroll Lee (married 2000). She will be greatly missed as a beautiful mother, creative grandmother, and deeply loved greatgrandmother.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 10/02/2024 (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.

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
c
understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy.

CTCLUSI celebrated the grand opening of their new health center and pharmacy in Coos Bay, Oregon on Saturday, June 1, 2024.
The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI) celebrated the grand opening of Three Rivers Health Center with a vibrant community event on Saturday, June 1, 2024. The occasion marked a signi cant milestone for the community, with over 300 attendees joining in the festivities. View the Grand Opening Recap video: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=U2oswwIFqjg.
The celebration commenced with a festival of booths hosted by various CTCLUSI departments including Administration, Tribal Council, Community Health, Emergency Management, Tribal Court, Housing, Education, and Social Services. Three Rivers Health Center staff showcased Medical, Behavioral, Pharmacy, and Dental services and enrolled over 160 new patients, underscoring the community’s enthusiasm and support for the new health center.
The opening ceremony began with a warm welcome from CTCLUSI Chief Doug Barrett, followed by Council Chair Brad Kneaper, CEO Lee Ann Wander, and Health Administrator John R Reeves III, each sharing their vision and appreciation for Three Rivers
Health Center. Highlighting the signi cance of the health center for the community, CEO Lee Ann Wander stated, “This is a lot more than just a health clinic; this was a promise we made to the Tribal membership when I came in. To lead with a good heart; to listen to the tribal membership and what their needs were. Healthcare was at the top of the list and this is a promise ful lled.”
Attendees were treated to a traditional prayer, followed by singing and drumming by Jesse Beers, Chief Doug Barrett, and other Tribal members, creating a powerful and emotional atmosphere. Christina Garcia, CEO of MGMT 88, who manages the pharmacy, remarked, “The prayer and songs were very sacred. That meant so much to me. As a leader of my own company, it gave me a different inspiration.”
After the ceremony, attendees moved to the building entrance, designed to resemble a traditional plank house, for a formal ribbon-cutting led by the CTCLUSI Tribal Council, symbolizing the of cial opening of the brand new facility.
In addition to the festival, ceremony, and ribbon cutting, attendees enjoyed delicious Indian

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN
This week I have chosen to share the story of the steamer Fi eld which disabled and beached near the South Jetty on Feb. 29, 1916. The story is outlined in a span of over a month as it was felt that rescue efforts would be successful, and soon the schooner would be on its way back to California. But that was not the way the story ended.
"Attempting to enter the local harbor at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday morning the steam schooner Fi eld of the A.F. Eastabrook line, while bucking a strong current from the north accompanied by rain squalls from the same direction, swerved from her course, drifted onto the submerged rocks at the end of the sunken portion of the south jetty and now lies on the beach ( rst photo) just south of the jetty, almost high and dry at low tide."
The 22 crew members and four passengers were taken off by Capt. Robert Johnson and his Coast Guard crew with the aid of the breeches-buoy. The last man off was Carl Bakman, captain of the ill-fated ship, who reached land about eight-thirty o'clock.
"Five minutes after the ship rst struck, the water had risen so high in the hold and engine room that the engineer and his assistants were forced to go on deck, the res were drowned and the boat lay at the mercy of the waves. The tide still rising, carried her off the rocks bow foremost and she swung around with the nose towards the beach. Scraping and bumping along the rocks of the jetty for a few yards, the bow was split and splintered.
"While the Coast Guard crew was taking the passengers and crew off the vessel, two or three hundred spectators gathered on the beach to watch the excitement, many of them crowding down among the driftwood. Among those was W.M. Kay, a local lumberman, who was watching the working of the breeches-buoy so intently that he failed to see a huge breaker as it rushed in on him, carrying with it considerable drift. He was carried off his feet and sustained a broken leg. He was carried to a nearby wagon and Dr. R.V. Leep summoned. Later in the Emergency Hospital it was found that the injury was a compound fracture."
A headline in the following week's Western World read: "Fi eld Will Be Pulled Out By
Towboat Soon."
"The work of pulling the boat onto the beach was completed several days ago (second photo). She has since been cleaned of sand and her tanks and boilers emptied. The hold will be lled with empty barrels and casks and it is believed that unless severe weather conditions are encountered at the time, the danger of losing the vessel in attempting to pull her out will be slight."
But three weeks later, the headlines told a different story.
"The steamer Fi eld, disabled and beached near the south jetty on Feb. 29th, passed into history early Monday morning, when during high tides the breakers pounded her to pieces. Succeeding tides have completed the work of destruction and what was formerly one of the nest among the smaller coasting steamers on the Paci c is now, but a mass of kindling wood and tangled iron, strewn for a mile down the beach (third photo).
People still ask me if the Marriott Hotel will be building on the gravel lot in Old Town, across from the Bandon Fisheries Warehouse. After the Coquille Indian Tribe wrote a letter, which said, in part:
"Based on our review of the geotechnical report prepared by Cascadia Geoservices, Inc., dated June 22, 2023, as well as draft archaeological documents, the extensive documentary record relating to this parcel and our own Tribal knowledge speci c to this parcel, we do not see a path forward that would result in the intensive development and disturbance associated with construction of a multistory hotel in this location," said a letter signed by Tribal Chairman Brenda Meade. Recently, I received a copy of a letter sent by Barry Johnson, managing partner of Bandon Old Town Hotel Partners LLC, to Chairman Meade about the Marriott Hotel project.
He thanked her for making time to meet with him. "I believe it is important to our future relationship that you have accurate and reliable information. The Chronicle Report made inaccurate and false statements that did us both a disservice. A review of the Cascadia Report factually shows the core samples did not disclose the presence of human remains nor did it suggest the project could not be built."
Johnson added that he had hired another
archaeological research rm to prepare a permit application for consideration."
"Please note, I am not opposed to any statement or position expressed by the Coquille Tribe in relation to the property. I have only the utmost respect for the Coquille Tribe and its Leadership. I support their efforts to protect their ancestral history and the environment. I am seeking factual, reliable information for the purpose of making a nal determination as to the future of this property," Johnson said. "Whatever conclusion is reached, I trust we can continue to work together to secure a positive outcome."
The story of a 12-yearold Bandon girl who went missing Saturday evening had a happy ending as a family member posted later that night on Facebook that she had been found and returned to her family.
Although she was named in the numerous Facebook posts that were shared throughout the evening, I have chosen not to share her name out of respect for the family.
The search was carried out by the Bandon police, family members and friends. One poster said she had seen her walking along the highway near the lube business south of Bandon around 8 p.m.
She had apparently left the family home earlier, saying she was going for a walk. But when she did not return as planned, the family found her cell phone in the yard, prompting the extensive search.
It is great to see the completed ve-unit apartment complex along east 11th Street, between Baltimore and Chicago. There is a rumor circulating around town that these were built for Southern Coos Hospital and Health District, but that is not true. The hospital had nothing to do with the building of this complex.
As secretary and interim chair of the hospital board, I wish the rumor were true, as we could de nitely use the housing for employees and traveling nurses, but it's not.
I believe it was a private builder, but unfortunately I do not have his name.
Forty-two members of the Bandon High School Class of 2024 received their diplomas in an impressive ceremony last Saturday.
Valedictorians were
Elizabeth
and Olivia Thompson. Katelyn Senn was the class salutatorian. Rachel Eickhoff was senior class president.

I will share the complete list of scholarships and honors received by the class in next week's column.
to Bandon are celebrating many years of marriage, including Helen and Gene Schrader of Sutherlin and Bud and Betty Gearhart of Coos Bay. The Gearharts, who lived in Bandon for many years, will celebrate their 75th wedding anniversary with a celebration at the Coos Bay Seventhday Adventist Church on July 14 at 2 p.m. Their daughter, Sandra Gearhart Merritt, invites their friends to join the celebration, and to bring their favorite potluck dish. The church is located at 2175 Newmark Avenue in Coos Bay.
Gene Schrader and the former Helen Wehner are observing their 70th wedding anniversary, according to a Facebook post by their daughter, Mindy Rund. Gene, who is the son of the late Ivan and Lorna Schrader and a member of the BHS Class of 1950, is 93. Helen, whose parents were Ernie and Anna Wehner, is 87. She graduated from Bandon High in 1955.
building (built by First National Bank), has been moved to August.
You may also want to mark your calendar for the popular National Night Out, sponsored by the Bandon Police Department, to honor those in all departments who keep the community safe. The event will be held August 6 from 5 to 8 p.m. in City Park. I will have more about the event in future columns.
Two of my fellow city councilors received scam messages from someone purporting to be me last week, asking them to help me make a payment through Zelle or Venmo. "I" add: "Let me know so I can forward you the vendor's payment details and will have our reimbursement processed once the treasurer is back in of ce."
It was sent from an email address: jrufaie@ virginmedia.com ... at 5:59 a.m. Anyone who knows me would immediately be suspicious if they saw anything sent by me that early in the morning knowing that I am a "night owl."
It is interesting to note that when John Sweet and I graduated from BHS with the Class of 1957, there were 43 graduates ... one more than this year's class.

This week's Meet and Greet program at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse is sponsored by the Bandon History Museum, and will feature Jim Proehl, board member, with the true mystery of "Mayor Drane is Missing." The program is set for Tuesday, June 18, with seating opening at 11:30 and the program beginning at noon.
The program originally scheduled, highlighting the history of the museum
This is not the rst time these kinds of emails have been sent in my name, and they are almost always to other city employees or city councilors. Makes you wonder .... I do know that early on, one councilor did ask the sender where she could send the gift cards that I had supposedly requested ... before she realized it was a scam.

The 8th Annual Mosaic Show at Bandon Library Art Gallery went up on the 1st of June and will run through July 31st. On Saturday June 29th at 2pm is the annual Mosaic Extravaganza, which will include a talk about the history of mosaic art, and then mosaic-making by any and all! Child-safe materials will be available, so everyone can go home with their own handmade mosaic.
Curator Tracy Hodson has put together the work of 29 artists from the Pacific Northwest and beyond, including five from Bandon, demonstrating the wide range of styles and materials these artists utilize to create their mosaics.
“This year we are showing the usual breadth of mosaic art; it’s a good demonstration of the sort of work being done in the United States right now. Some of us work in the Classical vein, using marble, travertine, smalti–which is a glass that has been made in Venice and Murano, Italy, specifically for mosaics for centuries–as well as gold, tile, and other sorts of natural specimens.” Hodson said. “There’s a veritable garden of flowers made with stained glass, as well as whimsical pieces in pique-assiette, which is made of broken or cut ceramic crockery shards. There are also glass-onglass mosaics hanging in the window at the end of the hall, all-stone pieces–just a huge variety!”
The roster of mosaicists includes both newcomers and returning artists from as far away
as Montana, Massachusetts, Hawaii, and France.
“I am especially pleased that the much-admired Gila Rayberg of Florida chose to show with us this year,” Hodson said. “We have a solid list of artists who have stuck with us year after year, and more new ones than ever before. I hope the show will bring in more new visitors than ever before. It’s not easy to see what’s happening in the mosaic world, as it’s not an art
form many people know much about, and few galleries show it. As far as I know, we’re still the only annual mosaic show in Oregon, and I am dedicated to keeping it going. I also want to remind people,” she finished, “that when considering buying art for your home or as a gift, please think of the artists whose work we’re all lucky enough to see. Most don’t earn much from their work, and it takes a lot of time
and energy required to make things. The library takes no commission, so all sales benefit the artist exclusively. We’re proud of that.”
This year’s show includes work by five Bandon artists, Donn Klewitz, Tammy Rutherford, 9-year-old Aiden Johnson, Bessie Joyce, and Hodson herself. Most of the mosaics in the show are for sale, and many of the artists accept commissions.
Two years ago, Angela Haseltine Pozzi was building an enormous dragon sculpture made from found materials and beach debris from around the Oregon Coast. Devastatingly, a storm rolled through on Oct. 22, 2022, and lightning struck the dragon, causing it to catch fire, leaving behind nothing but a mound of melted rubber. Another storm just two months later brought down an electrical line, which burned the dragon’s remains a second time. After the second fire, Pozzi decided to shift the vision for the dragon sculpture into the likeness of a Phoenix – the mythical creature that cyclically regenerates, born again from fire and ashes. There could not be a more fitting image to represent the entirety of Pozzi’s time as an artist working with marine debris and collected trash – creating something new out of old, and inspiring sustainability in the process.
The dragon was scheduled to be the showpiece of Art 101 – a community hub for ocean conservation centered around art pieces made of recycled marine debris. Pozzi is moving on to this new venture with her artist daughter, Nicola Bianca Pozzi. The new
Art 101 space is a creative hub that houses an art gallery, thrift store, picnic area and coffee shop. Angela’s now finished sculpture, Bandonia the Phoenix, stands at 14 feet tall and with a 22-foot wingspan, and is the centerpiece of the newly opened Art 101 space. Pozzi says “I built The Phoenix rising from the ashes with materials headed to the dump, in order to reduce waste and demonstrate the power of creativity. Bandonia was created to inspire hope, renewal and strength."
The original version of the sculpture was funded by OCVA as part of the 2022 Strategic Investment fund, which focused on sustainable storytelling. Sustainability and resilience has always been at the heart of Pozzi’s work, and sculptures made from marine debris serving as a community centerpiece was an inspired application of these funds, and creative sustainable storytelling.
Now, the story has taken on a whole new level of meaning, as it has transformed over time and through the literal ashes, into a Phoenix rising as an example of the resilience the Oregon Coast collectively embodies in the face of change. Visitors and locals
By June Casagrande
It was January of 2022 and I was frustrated by a trend I was seeing — that I kept seeing — in articles I edited: writers obsessively using “such as” when they could have opted for the shorter, simpler “like.” So I did what every American did with their frustration in 2022: I posted it on social media.
“Someday I will edit a writer who understands you can, in fact, use ‘like’ to mean ‘such as’ ...” I wrote, and below those words I posted an image of Aragorn from “Lord of the Rings” shouting “but it is not this day!” Discussion ensued.
“Writers? I thought only editors upheld this empty fetish,” replied John McIntyre, longtime copy editor and author of “Bad Advice: The Most Unreliable Counsel Available on Grammar, Usage, and Writing.” “Someone somewhere has been propagating this rubbish.”
Writers who hadn’t worked as editors were surprised to hear it.
“Oh thank goodness,” one replied.
“Wait … you can?” replied another.
Yes, for the record: You can use “like” as a synonym of “such as” if you want to. Though 2 1/2 years later, if my own editing work is any indication, writers still haven’t gotten the memo.
In a recent two-week period, I edited about 25 articles that used “such as” before a list of examples. Only five used “like.”
“The restaurant serves elevated pub food and satisfying eats such as hand-tossed pizzas and
specialty burgers.”
“Some studies suggest that eating chili peppers such as jalepenos can relax inflammation.”
“Wear protective clothing such as wide-brimmed hats and long-sleeved shirts.”
“He became an illustrator for major magazines such as Life and National Geographic.”
“… to demonstrate qualities such as cooperation.”
None of these is wrong. But it’s a problem that the writers all seem to think they have no alternative.
A lot of grammar myths have easy-to-trace histories. This isn’t one of them. Yes, if you go back to the 1950s or so, you’ll find certain language cops telling people that “like” means “similar to.”
And when something is similar to something else, they’re not one and the same. Thus, these people said, “chili peppers like jalepenos,” by definition, excludes jalepenos. It means only peppers similar to jalepenos and not jalepenos themselves. If that were true, you would be required to use “such as” anytime you wanted include jalepenos in the examples.
But it’s not true. Dictionaries define “like” as a synonym of “such as,” meaning you can use either one to set up a list of examples. If you want my opinion, “like” is better. It sounds more natural, more conversational, which makes your message more accessible to readers. In fact, in that same two-week span of editing projects, I noticed that “like” was far more popular in quotations. It
rolled off the tongues of the speakers talking to the writers, but the writers themselves avoided “like.”
But if you really want to engage your reader, both “such as” and “like” can be a problem. Why? Because both these terms upstage the details that readers find most interesting.
“Wear wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts and long pants” puts the emphasis on tangible, visual things. “Clothing such as” is far less sensory.
“He became an illustrator for Life, National Geographic and other major magazines” immediately makes me think of the oversized, visually stunning Life magazine covers I used to see in the grocery store checkout lane near those gold-bordered National Geographics. “Major magazines such as …” just doesn’t make the same connection to my world. “Eating jalepenos and other chili peppers” immediately conjures an image of medium-sized green peppers, more so than “chili peppers such as” does.
So don’t hesitate to use “like” in place of “such as.” Instead, hesitate to use both. If you can lead with a specific, tangible, sensory noun, you’ll keep your reader interested.

President Biden’s apparent confusion at campaign events is making headlines, with the GOP releasing videos every time he wanders away from world leaders or seems to shake an imaginary hand.
Democrats respond by attacking Donald Trump as less than mentally fit, mocking his odd conversational rambles into questions like whether it would be better to be electrocuted or eaten by a shark.
But questions about the mental competence of America’s 2024 presidential candidates pale in comparison to the men who once led the world’s greatest empire.
Some who ruled ancient Rome were real doozies. There was Commodus, who was so obsessed with gladiators that he hopped into the arena and fought hundreds of times before ultimately renaming Rome after himself. Tiberius was so depraved, he was the kind of guy who makes trouble in public parks. And let’s not forget Nero, who, though he didn’t fiddle as legend tells us, did jump onto a stage and belted out several songs while Rome burned around him.
But for sheer, outright insanity, none of them could hold a candle to Caligula, the most mentally unstable of the bunch.
How crazy are we talking? Instead of sleeping at night like normal people, he paced the halls of his palace talking out loud to the moon and Jupiter like they were his best friends. And that’s just for starters.
Barely 24 when he came to power in A.D. 37, Caligula had people executed on a whim and took the wives of prominent senators as his concubines (giving them no say about it).
Then there was the matter of his horse. Caligula apparently said something snarky about making his favorite horse a senator or proconsul.
Both were top jobs in the Roman Empire. The story was repeated so relentlessly that some historians claim he actually did appoint the animal, though the evidence of that happening is shaky. Still, the incident became a metaphor for the emperor’s repeated promotion of grossly incompetent men to high public office.
Sadly, there are many more examples that, to put it mildly, show Caligula wasn’t playing with a full deck. Like when he declared war on the ocean.
No, really. It happened.
In the spring of A.D. 40, Caligula wanted to add Britannia (modern Great Britain) to the Roman Empire. But there was a problem.
Some of the soldiers he assembled to conquer the island didn’t want to do it. There were at least two mutinies — bad ones — among the legion he had assembled for the invasion. That infuriated the young emperor. So he took out his anger by declaring war on Neptune, the god of the sea.
The Centurions arrayed along the English Channel in what’s now northern France faced a dilemma. They had very real orders to fight against an imaginary god. What to do?
Suetonius, biographer of the first 12 Roman emperors, described what came next.
“He drew up his army on the shore of the ocean, with his ballistas (catapults) and other war machines. And while no one could imagine what he intended to do, he suddenly commanded them to gather up seashells and fill their helmets and the folds of their tunics with them, calling them ‘the spoils of the sea.’”
With that, the emperor declared victory and went home. Caligula 1, Neptune 0.
Why did he do it?
There are three theories.
The first says Caligula wanted to humiliate his soldiers for the mutinies. If that was the case, making them look like idiots for battling the ocean was
a good way of shaming them. According to theory No. 2, Caligula figured that even though he didn’t seize Britannia as he had said he would do, hauling all those shells back to Rome would make the good citizens believe he had accomplished something while away. (Britannia would eventually come under Roman rule during the reign of Claudius, his successor.)
Finally, theory No. 3 holds Caligula was just plain crazy. And there’s much validity to that view. Whatever the reason, the ruling elite had finally had enough of the young ruler. He’d managed to infuriate everyone during his brief time on the throne. And one thing about those ancient Romans — you didn’t want them to get mad at you.
The following year, two tribunes joined by several Centurions hacked Caligula to death. His four-year run of craziness at the pinnacle of the Roman Empire was over. Sure, Joe Biden and Donald Trump may have their share of “senior moments” that make them seem out of touch at times. But neither ever took on the ocean. And Neptune and his mermaids have enjoyed uninterrupted peace in the 2,000 years since their one brief war, too. ABOUT THE WRITER J.

A local seasonal attraction is getting a fresh start this summer as Joy Rails, a rail bike tour of the scenic Coquille Valley. In groups of four on specially fitted ‘quadricycles’, guests get a unique perspective of Southern Oregon that is a microcosm of the area.
Starting off at Sturdivant Park in Coquille, the bikes follow the old rail line for a 12-mile round-trip. It is an active activity, and one should dress for comfortable movement, though it isn’t a rigorous one. The tracks stay relatively flat making for smooth pedaling, and the bikes glide along the rails with the help of four pairs of legs.
The trip itself takes you past the old Coquille Lumber Mill, now Roseburg Forest Products. The rail runs right through the industrial area giving you a close-up look at the huge machinery and hard work
of one of Oregon’s most essential industries. This is followed by sweeping views of the grassy plains of the Coquille Valley, complete with roaming cattle and open sky. The trip also has some glimpses of the Coquille River from unique angles that would otherwise be relatively inaccessible. The last stretch of the trip before turning around runs through the Coquille Valley Wildlife Area, giving riders a great opportunity to spot some local flora and fauna. Those riding in my quadricycle were lucky enough to spot a young heron flying alongside us. If you have any doubts about the exertion, Joy Rails has an electric bike available, though the bikes are accessible to those of all ages. Though you might have a slight burn in your legs after the trip, it is easily manageable. The gentleman next to me on the manual bike was 85 years old and kept pedaling the whole way. Just be sure to bring
some water, and maybe even a light snack for the ride. Some sunscreen or shad protection on hotter days is also recommended.
Joy Rails hopes to have a positive impact by helping to preserve rail history of otherwise unused portions of railway. Business helps to keep tracks maintained and allows the outdoorsy type and railroad enthusiast alike to enjoy a unique view of the area and its history. The bikes are also 100% green friendly, with no need for engines or emissions, keeping the natural area as undisturbed as possible.
Joy Rails is taking bookings now through the entire season. For more information and to reserve and ride visit: https://joyrails.com/locations/ coquille-oregon/ There you’ll also find a blog with articles full of other travel and recreation ideas, and with pieces outlining all the great things about the South Coast.
