Airport celebrates evolution of infrastructure and services

BY BREE LAUGHLIN

The World Southwest Oregon Regional Airport officials recently came together with members of the local community to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Coos County Airport District and celebrate their recent apron expansion project.

“This is such a vital part of our community,” said Stephanie Kilm-

er, Public Relations & Marketing for Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, during the recent celebration.

Kilmer said the impact of the airport is far reaching, “whether it's getting medications through a cargo carrier or the Amazon package that you get delivered to your doorstep.”

Airport officials invited the community to celebrate the accomplishments that have

been made since its’ inception two decades ago with a ribbon cutting with the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, June 22. They said the airport infrastructure and services have evolved and continue to evolve.

The latest project that has been completed is an Apron Expansion Project. The apron is a designated area of an airport where aircraft are parked, unloaded,

loaded, and refueled.

Some of the functions of the aircraft apron are to provide areas for aircraft to maneuver to and from the taxiway system and to support air carrier operations for both aircraft and support vehicles.

Airport Project Manager Rick Skinner said the apron project involved a very high spec of concrete which is twice the strength of normal concrete, and it

Collector offers rare and valuable items in Reedsport

BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

Bob Haas retired more than a decade ago from a career in business consulting – but that hasn’t slowed him down.

After his retirement, Haas open Silver City Coins in Brookings. Now he’s offering more of his impressive selection of coins and other collectible memorabilia at a shop in Reedsport.

Haas said when heard the coin shop “The Little Mint,” had closed in Reedsport, he decided he wanted to keep it going. The long-time collector said he is continuing to offer rare and collectible coins in Reedsport so local coin collectors don’t have to travel to Brookings.

He also jazzed it up with a huge variety assortment of rare and historical items.

“I like have a little bit of something for everyone,” Haas said.

The store is filled with rare coins, antiques, jewelry, books, artwork, autographed memorabilia from celebrities – including athletes, movie stars, models, artists – and more. He has some very expensive pieces including a signed original oil painting of Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe. He also has a bat signed by Ted Williams and many autographed baseballs.

was poured nine and a half inches deep.

“It's cut into 15 foot by 15 foot pieces and took approximately 4,500 yards of concrete to complete the entire job,” he said. “The job really turned out really nice.”

The $6.6 million dollar Apron Expansion project was funded by an FAA Grant, ODOT Connect Oregon Grant, and the Coos County Airport District.

Skinner reported the apron modification was phase one of the current project and phase two involves the creation of a cargo warehouse that can be used for storing and shipping out perishable products like cranberries, blueberries or fish, for example.

“The next phase is really going to help the local economy, and give Airport continued on page 3

Contracts Awarded for Wastewater Treatment Plant, Sewer Improvement Project

BY RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

The Coos Bay City Council awarded contracts for both Phase 1 of the Wastewater Treatment Plant and a sewer improvement project.

The contract for the Wastewater Treatment Plant was awarded to McClure and Sons, Inc for an amount of $20.32 million, contingency included. The project will include “a new secondary clarifier, chlorine contract basin, yard piping, generator and an upgrade to the electrical system,” city staff stated in a report.

The total project cost is earmarked at just under $24 million and will take approximately two years from the start of construction. All councilor’s voted in favor of awarding the contract to McClure and Sons, Inc.

The council also awarded a contract to Knife River Materials for a sewer improvement project on North 3rd Street and Highland Avenue. The

contract was for $295,495, contingency included. The project will be funded through the Water Quality Improvement Fund.

The sewer on North 3rd and Highland was chosen for the project due to a failing sewer pipe that staff found there last winter.

“Last winter, staff discovered a failed pipe along North 3rd Street between Highland and Market. After investigation, they found a portion of the pipe had failed and was blocking flows,” city staff stated in a report. “Staff contracted with Johnson Rock Products to repair only the failed section so that free flowing conditions in the pipe could be restored. Based on staff's investigation, it was determined this entire segment of pipe was in need of replacement.”

All councilors voted in favor of awarding the contract to Knife River Materials.

alternatives on how we can ship our products,” he said.

A portion of the Connect Oregon Grant is being held for use in the construction of this facility. Construction on the cargo facility is slated to start in the year 2024.

The current airport operation includes United Airlines passenger flights to San Francisco and Denver. The airport

offers free parking near the terminal.

The Coos County Airport District owns and operates the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport, which consists of 619 landside and airside acres. It leases over 33 commercial facilities, and combined with those tenants, employs over 600 personnel.

The airport is critical to the state’s aviation plan which links to the Oregon Transportation Plan, airport represen-

tative Kilmer reported. This a long-range vision and policy foundation that guides transportation system development and investment, she said.

Southwest Oregon Regional Airport is located at 1100 Airport Lane in North Bend. More information can be found on the web at cooscountyairportdistrict.com, by phone at (541) 756-8531 or through email at info@ flyoth.com.

Since opening in midJune, Haas has been operating the shop in Reedsport – which he is calling Silver City Mint – on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to dusk, then he operates his store in Brookings on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

“People are like, ‘If you're retired, why are you working?’ I'm like, ‘This isn't work,’” Haas said.

“I'm playing with coins. I'm surrounded by everything that I love –coins, sports, all kinds of autographed items – and I get to meet wonderful people every day. I mean, what better life can there be?” Haas said. The entrepreneur has a personality that is as rare as the items he sells.

In addition to his collectible stores, Haas owns a moving com-

pany. He is a certified tennis instructor, a book author, and says he has a nearly photographic memory. Haas first got interested in coins from his maternal grandfather. When his grandfather came to visit, he would ask his mother how he was behaving. Unfortunately, Haas’ brother earned the more valuable coins for his good behavior, while he got the lesser impressive coins for his less impressive behavior.

“I was like, ‘Well, that's not right.’ And my grandfather said, ‘Then you’ve got to start acting more like your brother. I'm like, ‘Oh well, whatever.’”

Rather than heeding to his grandfather’s advice, Haas started a newspaper route. He used the money he earned to buy rolls of pennies and sorted through them to find the

rarest dates. Haas also convinced his brother to buy his coin collection – something he says his brother regrets to this day.

Haas has lived and travelled all over the United States and has met fellow collectors along the way. He also frequents estate sales, and sometimes offers to buy every item on sale.

When asked if it’s hard to let go of certain coins Haas replied; “That's the hardest thing with becoming a coin dealer, is you have to sell your coin collection.”

“But being a collector has been a lifelong thing for me,” Haas said. “You can make a lot of money over a period of time by investing wisely.”

The Little Mint, a.k.a. Silver City Mint, is located at 1051 Hwy 101 in Reedsport and is open on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to dusk.

Enjoy stuffed burgers this barbecue season

Barbecue season has arrived, so soon people will be bonding in the backyard over hamburgers and hot dogs. Backyard barbecue season begins in spring and continues through summer and, where the weather allows, into fall. Barbecues are a perfect summertime soiree, as they’re usually laid back affairs and make use of the pleasant weather.

While it’s fun to expand your culinary horizons over the open flame of a grill, it’s important that you never forget the basics, especially when entertaining crowds who are no doubt looking forward to grilled burgers. Giving the masses what they want is good hosting, but you can still try your hand at a little experimentation when serving burgers at your next backyard barbecue. The following recipe for “Herb Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Burgers” from Andrew Schloss’ and David Joachim’s “Mastering the Grill” (Chronicle Books) provides the best of both worlds.

Herb Cheese-Stuffed Garlic Burgers

Makes 6 servings

2 pounds ground beef chuck, 85 percent lean

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt

1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper

3 tablespoons herbed garlic cream cheese, such as Boursin

6 hamburger buns, split Oil for coating grill grate

The Grill

Gas: Direct heat, medium-high 425 F to 450 F; clean, oiled grate

Charcoal: Direct heat, light ash; 12-by-12-inch charcoal bed (about 3 dozen coals); clean, oiled grate on lowest setting Wood: Direct heat, light ash; 12-by-12-inch bed, 3 to 4 inches deep; clean, oiled grate set 2 inches above the fire

1. Heat the grill as directed.

2. Using your hands, mix the beef, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well blended; do not overmix. Using a light touch, form into 12 patties no more than 1⁄2-inch thick.

3. Put a portion (about 11⁄2 teaspoons) of cream cheese in the center of each of the 6 patties; top with the remaining patties and press together, taking care to seal the edges well. Refrigerate the burgers until the grill is ready.

4. Brush the grill grate and coat it with oil. Put the burgers on the grill, cover and cook for 9 minutes, flipping after 5 minutes, for medium-done (150 F, slightly pink). Add a minute per side for well-done (160 F).

5. To toast the buns, put them cut-sides down directly over the fire for the last minute of cooking.

6. If serving the burgers directly from the grill, serve on the buns. If the burgers will sit, even for a few minutes, keep the buns and burgers separate until just before eating.

Grilling is a summertime tradition, but health-conscious grillmasters may want to marinate their meats before cooking them over an open flame. Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) are compounds that can form when meats are cooked over an open flame. HAAs are suspected carcinogens, but a 2008 study published in the Journal of Food Science found that, with a few exceptions, spice-containing marinades inhibited the formation of heterocyclic amines, thus providing reduced exposure to some of the carcinogens formed during grilling.

Claudia A. Richardson

November 16, 1946 – June 22, 2023

With heartfelt sorrow and a profound sense of loss, but also with thankfulness to God for her many years, our beloved Claudia Richardson, 76, of North Bend, went to be with the Lord on June 22, 2023. A Memorial Service will be held at Shoreline Community Church, 1251 Clark St, North Bend, Oregon at 1:00 pm on Saturday, July 15, 2023 under the direction of Nelson's Bay Area Mortuary. She was born November 16, 1946 to David and Anita (Feil) Lorenzana in Ventura, California. Claudia attended Holy Cross Catholic School, Santa Clara High School, and Ventura College. She is a descendant of the Olivas and Lorenzana families

who were given a California Spanish land grant in 1847 called Rancho San Miguel. After marrying her husband, Dr. Steve Richardson, they moved to North Bend, Oregon where they raised their 3 children.

Claudia had many hobbies and interests over the years including many years of dance lessons. She possessed a great love of music and travel, loved decorating homes, painting pottery, writing poetry, and designing jewelry. She had a passion for fashion. Her love of spoiling and caring for her friends and family was also a never-ending joy of hers.

Claudia is survived by her husband, Steve; sons,

ew, Jackson Noah; nieces, Joeline Scharer, Krista Scharer and Tori Noah; family dog, Cooper; and girlfriend, Gloria Titus.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents, Fred and Laverna Noah; sister, Drexel Haskins; and his longtime girlfriend, Penny Holbrook.

Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals.com. Donations may be made in Robert’s name to the Lakeside McKay’s Market.

Arrangements are under the care of North Bend Chapel, 541-756-0440.

Tad & Holly Richardson, Corey & Kelly Richardson; daughter, Ashley Richardson; grandchildren, Brody, Chase, Trent, Hadley, and her fifth grandchild expected later this year; brother, Steve & Rose Lorenzana; sister, Cynthia & Doug Sassen; and many nieces and nephews.

Claudia, you will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Your love, your laughter, and your vibrant spirit will continue to guide us as we navigate this world. May you rest in eternal peace, knowing that you are deeply loved and eternally missed.

Contributions in her memory may be made in Claudia’s name to the American Heart Association, 4380 S Macadam

Ave Suite 480, Portland, OR 97239, in Claudia’s name. This gesture will not only honor her memory, but will also help others battling their challenging heart issues.

Arrangements are under the direction of Nelson's Bay Area Mortuary, 405 Elrod Ave., Coos Bay, Oregon 541-267-4216

Cynthia “Cindy” (Ring) Bodkin, loving daughter, sister, mother, wife and grandmother passed away surrounded by her family on June 23, 2023, after a courageous battle with cancer. Cindy was born on June 10, 1950, in Coos Bay to parents, Bill and Glenda Ring. After the passing of her mother, Bill married Mary Ring, who quickly became mom to Cindy. As a child Cindy enjoyed spending time at the family ranch in Fairview. She and her siblings could be found swimming, riding horses and picking blackberries to pass the time.

Cindy graduated from Marshfield High School where she made lifelong friends and memories. She participated on the cheer team at Marshfield and met her first husband. A few years were spent studying at Oregon State University before the birth of their three children, Marlo, Kelsey and Luke.

Cindy later married Michael Bodkin and gained

two sons, David and Ben. They shared a full house of school age children that became a close-knit family making lasting memories.

Cindy dedicated her career to education. She worked for over 33 years in the Coos Bay School District. She was very passionate about getting the opportunity to assist other Educational Leaders helping elementary age children learn the fundamentals of reading. Once retired she continued giving back to the educational community by staying active in PEO and their scholarship opportunities.

In her free time Cindy enjoyed golfing with her husband Mike. They regularly played and participated in yearly golf trips with wonderful friends, something to which Cindy always looked forward to.

Cindy had a profound love for her family. She could always be found at her children and grandchildren's events and

day to day activities. Her grandchildren quickly gave her the name of Grandma B, although fitting to her last name, she earned that term because she was the grandma with books and spent countless hours reading to all of them. Holidays were always extra special times for her family. Cindy always added tenderness and love to her planning.

Cindy will always be remembered for her selfless, giving nature. She always had a positive outlook on life and gave others the benefit of the doubt. She never hesitated to provide a deep love and support to those surrounding her.

Cindy is survived by her husband, Michael Bodkin; daughters, Marlo (Kyle) Rood and Kelsey (James) Orr; sons, Luke (Jenny) McGriff, David Bodkin and Ben (Jamie) Bodkin; mother, Mary Ring; sisters, Kay (Kent) Mulkins, Janet (Paul) Gammon, Rhonda (Mike) Altenbach, and Denise (Willy) Layton; broth-

ers, Jim (Lori) Ring and Mike Ring; grandchildren, Vanessa, Madee, Kaylee, Alexa, Aubrey, Carter, Ashtyn, Calli, Bradyn and Brooklyn.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Glenda Ring; brother, Hal Ring.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Coos History Museum on July 15, 2023, from 3:00 - 5:00. In lieu of flowers the family asks for contributions to be made in Cindy’s honor to: PEO Scholarship Fund. PEO Chapter AS, c/o Treasurer Liz Cowden, 3874 Vista Dr., North Bend, OR 97459.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL

TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 09/27/2023 (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.

Opinion: Bad Vaping Policy From the FDA

By BRIAN DARLING InsideSources.com

From liberal cities like Boston to conservative cities like Rapid City, South Dakota, big government policies are not popular. Residents of New York rebelled when the big-government policies of lockdowns caused chaos. Americans don’t like the government telling them what they can and cannot do.

One reason is the government has tormented them with mandates and shutdowns that have ruined many lives. After the aggressive government push for universal vaccination and masking during the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans learned that government power can be flexed in an unprecedented way that forces people to change behaviors.

I am vaccinated and wore a mask during the pandemic. Yet, I never believed that government should have the power to force people to be vaccinated, businesses to close, or schools to shut down. Most Americans agree that the government flexed way too much power during the pandemic.

The power of the government to mandate is merely one piece of evidence that the government is getting too powerful. Another is the out-of-control spending Americans are seeing from their government. The federal government is careening toward insolvency with more than $30 trillion in debt and annual deficits exceeding $1 trillion. Americans are angry that they must balance their family checkbook while the federal government runs massive deficits. The same government that used the power to enforce mandates is also spending our nation into oblivion.

Some in Washington are wasting time focusing on expanding government power in a way that does not address the top 20, maybe the top 100, list of issues of importance to the voting public. The increasing prices of food and consumer goods, government debt, cost of housing, stability of banks, jobs, excessive government power, and the economy are far more important than vaping. Yet, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is using resources to demand a government agency investigate one vaping company. Government power is being flexed because Schumer does not like the company selling vaping products in his state. This is bad policy.

He has reopened his war on vaping

with a demand that regulators stop a company from using third-party influencers on social media sites from helping to educate vaping users about the existence of its product.

The New York Post reports that Schumer has targeted the vaping product “Elf Bar” for extinction, and he has demanded the “US Food and Drug Administration to investigate a hot, new Chinese-made e-cigarette that he believes is skirting American advertising laws by appealing directly to kids and teenager via social media.”

He politicizes his message when he argues that the company markets “kid-friendly flavors.” The truth is that he wants to use the massive power of the federal government to get rid of a product he does not like.

Ironically, vaping products are commonly seen as a tool to get people off smoking cigarettes, and banning them will leave more Americans addicted. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that while the “tobacco industry spends billions of dollars each year on marketing cigarettes,” it is also true that “each day, about 1,600 youth try their first cigarette.” Federal regulators might want to focus on tobacco cigarettes rather than adults who want to vape as a substitute for traditional smoking.

If this war on vaping had anything to do with kids’ health, a consistent Schumer would not be pushing for decriminalization on the federal level of marijuana products that sell flavored products. He is a co-sponsor of the bill, the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, that removes marijuana from the list of controlled substances.

I support removing cannabis from the list, yet I recognize that some states allow the marketing of flavored products that appeal to adults. It is not unique for companies to advertise flavored CBD and THC gummies and Chocolate edibles. The argument that flavored vaping must be banned to protect kids from harm is not credible in this case.

It is a bad policy for the Food and Drug Administration to impose more big-government policies on the American people. Schumer and others who support this flawed policy should stand down.

HOLY COW! HISTORY: How Sarcasm, a Typo and Snarkiness Created 3 Civil War Nicknames J.

By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

Was the most famous moniker to come out of the Civil War actually a bit of misplaced snark?

When Thomas Jonathan Jackson was at West Point, his classmates (and the cadets he later taught at Virginia Military Institute) called him “Old Jack.” And so he was known … until a blazing hot Sunday afternoon in late July 1861. The Battle of Manassas (or Bull Run to the Yankees), the war’s first major engagement, was underway in northern Virginia near Washington. Jackson was there as colonel of the 1st Virginia Brigade.

Things were going badly for the Southerners. They kept getting pushed back by the boys in blue. South Carolina Confederate Gen. Bernard Bee pointed to Jackson’s men and said, “There stands Jackson like a stone wall.” From that moment on, the man was Stonewall Jackson, and the military unit was the Stonewall Brigade.

But here’s the mystery: Was Bee being complimentary or sarcastic? He had been trying to persuade Jackson to attack, which the Virginian refused to do. Some historians, plus Bee’s adjutant who was there, claim the phrase “stands like a stone wall” was a snide putdown, not praise for Jackson’s grim resistance.

We’ll never know the true meaning of Bee’s words because he was wounded soon after speaking them and died a few days later. His precise intention went to the grave with him. (Jackson followed 22 months later.)

And if the Union Army had a party boy, it was Joe Hooker. Sandy-haired and blueeyed, he knew how

Mark Powell

to have a good time. Perhaps, some said, too good. One prudish Bostonian smugly wrote Hooker’s headquarters was “a place where no self-respecting gentleman liked to go, and no decent lady could go.”

He sent a report on the 1862 Battle of Williamsburg, Va., to the brass in Washington signed “I am still fighting — Joe Hooker.” But the message was garbled in transmission. The dash got lost. It came out, “I am still Fighting Joe Hooker.”

Newspaper reporters, then as now eager for a new angle to a story, seized on it. A nickname was born.

Hooker was an aggressive fighter with a great love of the spotlight. But ironically, this publicity hound hated the name pinned on him. He said “Fighting Joe” made him sound reckless, stupid or, worst of all, “like a common bandit.” Like it or not, the nickname stuck — even after his embarrassing defeat to Gen. Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Chancellorsville.

There’s a widely repeated but utterly false story that Hooker’s name itself became a nickname for prostitutes. Many people claim the term “hooker” was inspired by Joe Hooker’s frequent patronage of them. Not true. “Hooker,” used in connection with practitioners of the world’s oldest profession, appeared in print well before “Fighting Joe” rose to fame in the Civil War. However, the general did turn a blind eye to army regulations and allowed prostitutes to follow the army, claiming it was good for morale. Those women were nicknamed “Hooker’s Division,” and that certainly helped popularize the term. So indirectly, Joe Hooker was associated with “hookers.”

And then there was James Ewell Brown Stuart. As a boy, he created a new name from the first initials of his first three names: Jeb. And people called him that. But some of them called him something less flattering, too. Stuart had a soft, weak chin that gave his face an almost feminine quality. A classmate said the chin was “so short and retiring as positively to disfigure his otherwise fine countenance.”

The guys had no trouble coming up with this snarky nickname: “Beauty.” Stuart responded the only way he could. He grew a beard immediately after graduating from mandatorily required clean-shaven West Point. A fellow officer said Stuart was “the only man he ever saw that (a) beard improved.”

The weak chin was hidden from view, but the nickname “Beauty” stayed with him. In a way, Stuart got the last laugh. The beard he sported the rest of his short life was long, red, and wavy. It, coupled with his reputation as a dashing cavalryman and the ostrich plume he jauntily wore in his hat, made him attractive to the fair sex. Stuart was an unapologetic ladies’ man who loved basking in their attention.

And there you have it. Three nicknames still echoing across the battlefields 160 years later.

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN

I've heard stories over the years about the neat boardwalk that linked what we call Old Town to the South Jetty, long before there was a serviceable road to that area.

An article in the Sept. 26, 1929, Western World was headlined: "Board Walk to Jetty May Be Rebuilt Soon." The picture that I am using to illustrate the boardwalk, which can be clearly seen in the background, is this photo, taken in 1916, which shows what remains of the steamer Fifield (first photo).

The action taken that night was among the first decisions made by the city's first planning commission, which had been appointed a few months earlier.

"The city planning commission held a meeting at the city hall Tuesday evening at which the proposed reconstruction of the board walk to the south jetty was under consideration.

"The question has been brought up by the Bandon Lions club, that organization having made it one of their community improvement projects, and having voted to appropriate $150 in cash and a goodly amount of labor toward rebuilding the walk.

"City Engineer Chas. McCulloch estimated that the cost of the walk would be $540. How much of this can be do-

As I See It: A new boardwalk

nated through labor has not been figured, but it is believed that much can be contributed in that way.

"For many years the board walk to the south jetty was a popular strolling place, particularly on Sunday afternoons. Hundreds of people could be seen going to and from the beach over the walk. Few visitors stopping at the hotels missed the opportunity of taking the hike while in Bandon. In the winter months, particularly during stormy weather, a trip to the south jetty gave the landlubber all the thrills of an ocean voyage. With the wild spray dashing over the jetty it was indeed a voyage for the intrepid.

"The old walk has been rebuilt no less than three times within the past dozen years and practically every year during the period of service it required repairs. With the coming of automobiles and the improved highways and streets, strolling became a lost art and the faithful old walk, with its occasional parking bench along the way, gradually passed into oblivion."

The second story I want to share this week has to do with remodeling the Oakes building (barely visible at right in the second photo near what is now the Masonic building) into the Mercy Hospital in October of 1929.

"The work of remodeling the second story of

the Oakes building, over the city library, which is to be reopened as the Mercy hospital by Miss Florence Mashburn, is progressing and will be completed by the first of the week. A representative of the fire marshal's office was here last week and passed upon the requirements to make the place safe for hospital purposes.

"Besides several additional doorways, a fire door at the front, and a shute as a fire escape at the rear, it is necessary to put in a concrete sidewalk along the street.

"The hospital is open to all regular practicing physicians and surgeons.

"It is equipped for beds to take care of seven to eight patients. The surgery has been remodeled and equipped, and X-ray and fluoroscope equipment added.

"The slide has been put in at the rear stairway to facilitate the work of emptying the building in such event.

"Several thousand dollars have been expended in making the building ready for occupancy and in providing new equipment, and the new institution gives this community considerable additional hospital facilities."

The third picture was taken over 40 years ago (in July 1982) as I presented a check to the Bandon Fire Department for purchase of the Jaws of Life equipment.

I had served as chairman of the fund-raising efforts, and was joined by clubs and organizations throughout the community in raising the necessary funds.

Sorry, but I am not sure about the names in the picture, but I will do the best I can ... from memory. From left are Gordon Texley, Jim Boak, (unknown), Steve McNeil, Jack Chappell, Steve Fox, Walt Sherman, Fire Chief Lanny Boston and Mary Schamehorn.

Bandon was definitely a busy place over the weekend, with crowds in Old Town, visiting the Port building's Marketplace, and enjoying the Rock and Gem Show, sponsored by the Bandon Chamber of Commerce, at The Barn in City Park.

I saw some very favorable comments on Facebook about the Rock and Gem show, which indicated that not only did people thoroughly enjoy the show, but they took home some gems of their own.

I splurged on a tasty quesadilla and a taco from the food truck out front.

Last week I mentioned that a very old Book of Common Prayer, origi-

nally belonging to Trinity Church of New York, had been in the Kronenberg family for many years. It had reportedly been thrown out by the British in 1776 and had been in possession of Mrs. O.K. Kronenberg's family on the paternal side since 1841.

This week, after having read my column, Jean Kronenberg Rittenour, called to say that the book had been given to Bishop Benjamin Dagwell of the Episcopal Diocese of Oregon by her father,

the late Jack Kronenberg, before he died in the early 1960s. It was said that Bishop Dagwell had returned the Book to Trinity Church in New York.

But later, while on a trip to New York, Jean had visited the church, but could find no trace of the old Book of Common Prayer, which had been in her family for more than a generation.

I saw on Facebook recently that a pair of Bandon grads, Gene and Helen Schrader had celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary.

Gene was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Schrader and Helen's parents were Ernie and Anna Wehner.

For some reason I for-

get to share the rainfall report, what there was of it, for the month of May. My weather guy, Gerry Terp, reported 0.82 inches for the month, which was considerably less than the 6.53 inches recorded in May of 2022.

A 29-year-old Bandon man, Jessie M. Dornath, was charged with DUII, hit and run, unlawful possession of psilocybin and unlawful possession of a short-barreled rifle following a reported hit and run near the intersection of Randolph Road and Seven Devils June 23 at 1 a.m.

I saw this week on

Facebook that a former long-time resident of Bandon, Orval Longanecker, had died at the age of 93. Among his survivors are two sons, Dan and Mike, and a daughter, Connie. He was preceded in death by his wife Hester and his son, Skip Longanecker.

As I write this Saturday night, a 33-year-old Bandon man, Kyle R. Thompson, remains at large. He is being sought by the sheriff's office for charges including elude by vehicle, elude by foot, menacing, unlawful use of a weapon and felon in possession of a firearm.

On June 22, after learning of the whereabouts of Thompson, Bandon Chief Cory Dhillon attempted to stop Thompson, but he failed to yield and police said he accelerated, driving down 11th toward Rosa Road. Chief Dhillon initiated a pursuit and continued chasing the vehicle down Rosa Road at speeds of 80 mph. Thompson turned into Windhurst Lane and continued at a high rate of speed. Because of the speed and gravel on the road, it was difficult for the chief to see, and he lost sight of the vehicle. A pursuit ensued, involving several members of the sheriff's

office, Oregon State Police and Bandon Fire, with the use of K9 Cena. Ultimately, the search was called off because of the thick brush and dangerous terrain in the area.

Thompson is considered to be armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees him is asked to contact the Bandon Police Department or the Sheriff's Office at 541-396-2106.

Coming events: First Saturday Art Walk, Saturday, July 1, 4:30 to 7, maps and glasses for $10 at Bandon Visitor Center; Wine Walk, 5 to 7, ($10 glasses at port dock picnic shelter) July 4, as part of Fourth of

Bay Area Concert Band performing summer concerts

The Bay Area Concert Band is preparing for two upcoming summer concerts.

The first performance will be an indoor concert to be held at the North Bend Presbyterian Church at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 13, 2023. Immediately following this evening concert, there will be a reception to honor the band’s esteemed guest, Robert “Bob” Gillett, the Bay Area Concert Band founder and first director.

The second performance will be held at noon in Mingus Park on Saturday, July 15. This performance will be the traditional opening performance for the Oregon Coast Musical Festival. The Bay Area Concert Band has been honored to open this

festival since it began in 1978.

Conductor Stephen Simpkins has compiled a wide range of music to appeal to a wide variety of audiences.

Some of the songs the band will be performing include “The Stars and Stripes Forever March” composed and written by John Phillip Sousa in 1896, as well as “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe” written by Harry Gregson-Williams a British composer, conductor, orchestrator and record producer. Gregson-Williams has composed music for video games, television and films such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine and the Shrek franchise.

Audience members can also hum along to some of their fa-

vorite show tunes in, “The Golden Age of Broadway” arranged by Warren Barker who is famous for his arrangements of Broadway classics and original music especially written for bands.

Concert-goers will be transported back in time and take a ride in the country in a “Horse and Buggy” composed in 1951 by Leroy Anderson. The clip-clopping of the wood block pervades the entire piece as the music pulls us along. The cracking of the whip prompts the horse into a brisk trot, then slows to enjoy the scenery. Leroy Anderson wrote many popular hits including Sleigh Ride.

Then, the band will sail overseas to perform “One Piece (We Are!)”, a song by Hiroshi Kitadani, composed by Ko-

Coquille Valley Art Center hosting fundraising sale

From StaFF reportS

The Valley View School was a two-room schoolhouse almost a century ago. In 1957, it was transformed into Coquille Valley Art Center, and has been a space for painters, as well as stained glass, pottery, wood carving, fiber arts and quilting.

The center has been used as a community gathering place for luncheons, memorials, classes, lectures, art sales and rummage sale fundraisers, Christmas bazaars, quilt-a-thons, and kids’ art shows.

But those closest to the Art Center said all of the activities have taken a toll on the historic building.

Members have been busy organizing rummage sales, bottle

and can drives, and grant writing to raise the needed funds for a revamp.

Due to generous grants from the Coquille Rotary Club and The Ford Family Foundation, the center is well on the way to meeting its goal. An upcoming quilt sale is a part of the plan to meet that goal.

Kelly Rumbaugh was one of the members of the pottery group at the center who sadly passed away unexpectedly a few months ago.

To the surprise of many involved with the Coquille Valley Art Center, it turns out that Rumbaugh was also an accomplished quilter. Or, she started making quilts. When her cousin came up from Redding to close her estate, she

found an entire room full of unfinished quilts in various stages of completion. They were scattered throughout many boxes and none came with directions.

Rumbaugh’s cousin contacted the quilting group at the art center to see if they would be interested in inheriting her things. As anyone who knows a quilter will attest, they never turn down a donation of fabric. And so, four carloads later, the unfinished projects found a new home.

After sorting and organizing the fabric, the quilters decided to set a goal of finishing everything they could and hold a sale to raise money to go toward installing new floors at the art center.

The community is invited to be entertained by the Bay Area Concert Band while they

perform these songs and more. Admission is free. Donations are greatly appreciated. For more information visit their website: bayareaconcertband.org or find them on Facebook.

On Saturday, July 8, the community is invited to the art center, located on Highway 42 east of Coquille, to see the

finished products and find a treasure or two to take home. Items will range from potholders for $5 to bed size quilts

for $300. The sale will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will also coincide with the Coquille Garden Tour.

Dear Abby:

Dear Abby Abigail Van Buren

By

I'm 55 and have been married to my husband for 22 years. He was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease 12 years ago. He's mobile but on oxygen and has lost most of his stamina. At this point, everything in our life (friends, family and social life) revolves around his disease. He responds to any invitation we receive with, "We will see" which turns into a "no" or "I'd rather not," on the day of the event. I am free to attend on my own. Many of my friends have never met my husband, and some joke that I'm not really married. I can live with this situation except for the lack of intimacy and sex. Sex was never a central part of our relationship, but the nearly complete lack of intimacy over the last 10 years has been frustrating. If I try to discuss "my needs," he gets defensive and says, "File for divorce then!"

Since the last blow-up a couple months ago, I have tried to ignore my needs, but that isn't working. I am becoming judgmental and critical, and I know that living this way will make me increasingly resent him. My struggle is the thought of leaving someone I swore "for better or worse" with, for the selfishness of "my needs." Any advice?

Poop and prey help researchers estimate that gray whales off Oregon Coast consume millions of microparticles per day

By SEAN NEALON Guest Article

Oregon State University researchers estimate that gray whales feeding off the Oregon Coast consume up to 21 million microparticles per day, a finding informed in part by poop from the whales.

Microparticle pollution includes microplastics and other human-sourced materials, including fibers from clothing. The finding, just published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, is important because these particles are increasing exponentially and predicted to continue doing so in the coming decades, according to researchers Leigh Torres and Susanne Brander.

Microparticle pollution is a threat to the health of gray whales, in addition to obstacles related to increased boat traffic and loss of prey.

“These are quite scary numbers,” said Leigh Torres, an associate professor at Oregon State and an author of the paper. “I think they should raise concern for people who care about the marine environment or about their own environment and exposure to microplastics.

“Little by little we are all getting exposed to more and more microplastics. That’s inescapable at this point across all ecosystems, including right off our coast here in Oregon.”

Susanne Brander, an associate professor and ecotoxicologist at Oregon State and co-author of the study, said the findings reinforce the need to curb the release of microparticles because of the adverse impacts they have on organisms and ecosystems.

“This issue is gaining

momentum globally and some states, such as California, have taken important steps,” Brander said. “But more action needs to be taken, including here in Oregon, because this problem is not going away anytime soon.”

The study focused on a subgroup of about 230 gray whales known as the Pacific Coast Feeding Group. They spend winters in Baja California, Mexico and migrate north to forage in coastal habitats from northern California to southern British Columbia from June through November.

Since 2015, Torres, who leads the Geospatial Ecology of Marine Megafauna Laboratory in the OSU Marine Mammal Institute, and her team, including doctoral student Lisa Hildebrand, have used drones and other tools to study the health and behavior of this subgroup of gray whales off the Oregon Coast. As part of this work, they collect poop samples from the gray whales.

For the new study, the researchers collected zooplankton, which are

an important food supply for gray whales, and commercial and recreational fish.

“We had determined the caloric content of several zooplankton species, so next we wanted to know what their microparticle loads might be to get a more complete picture of the quality of these prey items,” Hildebrand said.

Brander, Hildebrand and members of Brander’s Ecotoxicology and Environmental Stress Lab analyzed the microparticle loads in 26 zooplankton samples collected from whale feeding areas and found microparticles in all of them. A total of 418 suspected microparticles were identified, with fibers accounting for more than 50% of them.

Torres and Hildebrand then combined that data with known estimates of energetic requirements for lactating and pregnant female gray whales to quantify how many zooplankton and microparticles they consume in a day. That yielded estimates that lactating and pregnant whales consume between 6.5

million and 21 million microparticles per day.

“It’s a wake-up call that whales are getting that much microplastic from what they eat,” Torres said. “It’s likely that humans are also getting a lot of microplastics from our own fish diet.”

Torres notes that the microparticle consumption estimates are likely conservative because they only account for what the whales consume from zooplankton. Gray whales likely ingest more microparticles directly from the water and seafloor sediment because they are filter feeders that engulf large amounts of water while consuming prey and also use suction feeding to obtain prey from the seafloor.

Analysis of the poop samples provided a window to what kind of microparticles these gray whales were digesting. The researchers analyzed five poop samples and found microparticles in all of them. Similar to zooplankton, the majority of the microparticles were fiber.

The researchers also found that the micropar-

ticles in the poop were significantly larger than those found in the zooplankton, leading them to believe the larger particles came from the water or sediment, not the prey (too small to consume these larger particles).

The findings raise concerns for Torres, whose past research has shown that this subgroup of gray whales is skinnier than other groups of gray whales.

“These whales are already stressed out with boats driving around all the time and the risk of getting hit by one of those boats,” she said. “They might also have less prey around because of changes in the environment, like less kelp. And now the quality of the prey might be poor because of these high microplastic loads.”

Brander and Torres are continuing their investi-

gations by studying the effects of microfibers on zooplankton that are an important food source for whales and fish in Oregon waters. “That all can lead to being poorly nourished and having poor health,” Torres said, “That can lead to stunted growth, smaller body size, lower ability to have calves and animals not using this habitat anymore. All of those are areas of significant concern.”

Other authors of the paper are Julia Parker, Elissa Bloom, Robyn Norman, Jennifer Van Brocklin and Katherine Lasdin. They are all from Oregon State and in the colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Engineering and Science. Brander is also affiliated with Oregon State’s Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport.
