Many patrons who enter through the doors of Engles Furniture in North Bend are greeted by Yvonne Williams.

Liberty Theatre stars shine bright in Little Ole Opry
BY BREE LAUGHLIN
The World
The 99-year-old Liberty Theatre is as vibrant as ever, thanks to a series of restorations and a closeknit group of talented performers.
The Little Theatre on the Bay is now in full swing presenting their “Little Ole Opry Variety Show.”
The variety show kicked off with a Country-themed Opry on July
8. Additional performances are happening Saturdays and Sundays throughout July. They include a Rock and Roll
with the company – and she has no plans of slowing down.
When Williams started her sales position in the early 80s, she was one of very few woman in a male-dominated industry, but she developed the tools and skills to compete and bring a woman's touch to the furniture sales experience.
“It was a lot to learn.”
Williams said, “But I loved it. I really enjoyed it, and I still do. I absolutely love what I do. You make friends, but you also improve their quality of life.”
Williams recognizes that when someone purchases furniture – whether it's for an entire house, a room or a single piece – it's a big deal for them. It becomes a part of
someone's home. So Williams takes the effort to make sure it is a piece that they will cherish.
Engles Furniture manager Steve Nye said he's not surprised the company has employed Williams for as long as they have.
“She just doesn't stop. She's constantly looking to improve the way she does things and improve the service she gives to her customers,” Nye said.
Almost half of the customers that Williams helps ask for her by name because she has helped them find furniture pieces in the past, Nye said.
“That is a testimonial about what she does and how well

Culinary students offer fresh new menu for summertime lunch events
BREE LAUGHLIN The World
A pop-up restaurant featuring refined dishes and go-to lunch favorites is happening inside the Oregon Coast Culinary Institute for a limited time.
Throughout the summer, many of the communities’ next best chefs are refining their restaurant skills – and the community gets to benefit from it. These special lunch events help students prepare to make the transition to the culinary industry.
“We have had requests from our students over the years who wanted more realistic restaurant style training – so for our summer term they are hosting a restaurant,” said Chef Randy Torres, OCCI Executive Director. The student-run “restaurant” menu was designed to offer something for everyone including gluten-free options. The fresh new menu
includes appetizers such as bacon burnt ends, chorizo in cider and a duck trio, traditional favorite soups and salads, brick-oven baked pizza, and mouthwatering entrees such halibut, pasta carbonara and grilled New York strip steak. The lunch offerings are individually priced.
“People can come in and enjoy a meal as they would in any other restaurant,” Torres said.
“We just remind everyone that these are students and they are learning and they are doing their best,” he said.
The restaurant was operating smoothly during opening-day on Tuesday, July 11 as guests were promptly seated and served quality dishes from the kitchen. Students acted not only as restaurant chefs, but also in front of house positions. They will be rotating to fill different
roles during each service.
The Oregon Coast Culinary Institute is a professionally accredited culinary institution

she does it,” the Engles Furniture Manager said.
“It's unheard of in our industry. You know, with car sales or realtors, there's some loyalty. But people don't think of that with salespeople in the furniture industry. Yvonne really gives them an experience.”
When asked what makes her a good salesperson, Williams replied; “I like my product. I like the people I work with and the people I work for.”
Williams has also been able to evolve with the industry, from the adoption of the Shepherd Management selling system in 1995, which she said created a “recipe” for sales success, to adapting to the changes
in the furniture business over time.
“The industry is huge and it's an evolving industry,” she said.
Inside the giant showroom, Williams said many of the walls have remained the same, but the furniture is totally different from when she began.
“It's an ever-changing industry. There are power mechanisms and USB ports. Everything has changed. But you just evolve with it and you enjoy it,” she said.
At 75-years- young, Williams says she doesn't really think about retiring.
“I want to work. My goal is to work until I'm at least 80 because it makes sense,” she said. “I haven't found a reason not to come to work.”

50s, Motown and a directors-choice Opry show.
Music Director Les Engle has been involved in the Opry since its’ early days. He describes the Opry as fun and informal.
On opening night, brightly-dressed singers and dancers of all ages took to the stage to share their talents with the audience, supported by a full band boogying down in the background.
Many of the performers remained onstage dancing and clapping along in support of one another. An emcee and a comedy team added laughs in-between acts.
“It becomes a real family kind of feel with everybody together,” Engle said.
“There are so many talented people out in the community that you often don’t know about,” he said. “We’ve had little kids that have just started out that have grown up and gone on to be directors and stars of the show.”
Engle says the Opry shows consistently attract large crowds.
“At each performance, I can look out through the lights and see the same people waving to me. They are going to be there every year,” Engle said.
The theatre has a lot of history from its inception nearly a century ago. Famous actors and actresses have been both a part of the theatre and members of the audience, including the iconic Jaws star Roy Scheider.
The Liberty Theater was originally built in 1924 as a movie palace, said vice president board member Jeanne Woods.
It was sitting empty for a few years in the 1950s before the Little Theatre on the Bay (or LOTB) adopted it as their home, she said. The local performing arts group was happy to have a place to share the arts with the community, but the age of the theatre started to take its toll.
“There had been some efforts to maintain the building but it really needed an overhaul,” Woods said.
The nonprofit all-volunteer organization embarked on a mission and began renovating the
theatre in 2015. Since then, the Little Theatre on the Bay and community partners have successfully undergone a series of upgrades to the historic building.
The restoration project has been lauded as a model example for its “phased approach.” It was also named Oregon Urban renewal project of the year in 2022.
There are more fundraisers planned for the restoration, as well as opportunities to get involved with the community theatre. Upcoming shows include “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast Jr” a “Masque Awards” show and “Broadway Lights” glamorous benefit night. Tickets to the Little Ole Opry on the Bay are still available. The variety shows include the Fabulous Fifties July 15-16, Motown July 2223 and Director’s Choice July 29-30. Saturday performances are at 7 p.m., Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
Tickets are available online at www.thelibertytheatre.org or call the box office at 541756-4336. The Liberty Theatre is located at 2100 Sherman Avenue, North Bend.

John was happily married to his first wife, Marjorie (Bruck) for 26 years when she died unexpectedly at the age of 44. John remarried briefly, then divorced. He spent his remaining years with his loving partner, Joyce Carol Holloway, until her death in 2018.

As a teen, she moved to Coquille, Oregon, and remained on the Southern Oregon Coast the rest of her life, including Bridge, Alleghany, Bunker Hill, Eastside, and Brookings.

Stacy Kimble Rossman was born in Rutland, Vermont on January 20, 1941 and died on July 2, 2023 in Salem, Oregon, after a brief illness. He grew up near Plattsburgh, New York, spending the summers along the shore of Lake Champlain where his parents owned a restaurant. He graduated from Peru High School, then attended Wadhams Hall Seminary for one year before enrolling at Plattsburgh State University. There, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree and studied toward a Master’s degree at Syracuse University. Stacy married Charlotte Lahue, and the two of them taught elementary schools around Plattsburgh until 1968 when they moved with their than one-year old daughter to Coos Bay. Stacy was an elementary school teacher for ten years in the Bay Area, but is perhaps most remembered by the community for his 25-year career at BiMart in the electronics
department. There, many will recall his penchant for Avant Garde neckties and his myriad nicknames from Space Dog to Spacy Stacy.
Stacy’s interest in electronics was most evident in his passion for amateur (ham) radio. He achieved the highest level of licensing, extra, which required an advanced knowledge of radio and mastery of Morse code. His many other interests included tinkering with electronics, clock repair, classical music, astronomy, photography and genealogy. He was a long-time member of the congregation at St. Monica Catholic Church where he served as choir member, cantor and Eucharist Minister. He also sang with a Coos Bay Barbershop group for many years.
Stacy and Charlotte lived in Coos Bay for more than 50 years, before moving to the Willamette Valley to be closer to their son and his family. One of Stacy’s happiest times was a hiking and camping trip in Eagle
retirement at age 65. In addition, LaVerna was a volunteer for a mental health charity and served as a Den Mother for the Boy Scouts of America. Her hobbies included pinochle, dirt bikes, camping, rock hounding (especially agates), road trips, crocheting, knitting, sewing, puzzles, reading, gardening, and above all, spending time with her family. She did and still does love Jesus. Her family will hold a celebration of her amazing life this July 22, 2023.
Cap Wilderness with his son, Alton. Stacy will be remembered as a faithful husband, kind father, silly grampa, friend and familiar face all around the Bay Area. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Denise Marie Renfrow; his parents, Alton and Olive Rossman. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Charlotte; his son, Dr. Alton Rossman and wife, Rachael; grandchildren Ian and Harper, all of Salem; half-sister, Freda Fay Dawson of Florida; nephews and niece. A funeral mass will be held at St. Monica Catholic Church in Coos Bay on Saturday, July 22, 2023 at 2 pm.

Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum:
TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $12,401.68
TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $218,302.94
Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-today, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 8/1/2022, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that

Building Walls
by BRYAN GOLDEN
Building mental and emotional walls is a common occurrence. We are used to living with physical walls so this progression is an easy transition. Furthermore, it's a conditioned response that we learn from others as well as a result of our own experiences. There are a variety of reasons people build these virtual walls. They want to keep undesirable things out. They have a desire to prevent loss. They don't want someone to leave. Walls may create a feeling of security. They offer a sense of protection. Walls are constructed as a result of fear, uncertainty, or vulnerability.
There are those who put up walls as a show of power. Only select people are allowed to cross their boundaries. This process allows them to feel as if they wield power over others by deciding who to exclude.
Some build walls to mark their territory. This approach mimics a child's strategy of drawing an imaginary line around them in order to keep their siblings "off their side." Walls may be in response to a sensitivity that one wants to avoid. The goal is to keep out any real or imagined emotional threats. It is an attempt to avoid repeating unpleasant experiences.

Labor conditions on Coos Bay now are good and in fact have been for some tie past, from the standpoint of the working man. Though at present there is no reason for men coming here in any great number seeking employment there has been a job for everyone who really wanted to work.
The wages in the mills and camps have compared favorably with other places. Road work throughout the county and the construction of the jetty which will start soon will greatly increase the demand for men in this locality.

by JUNE CASAGRANDE
Regardless of the reason for building virtual walls, their ultimate impact is to hold you back. Virtual walls are constraining, offering only an illusion of security. They are a defensive strategy which inhibits your personal growth.
Limiting beliefs such as, "I can't," "I won't," or "It's impossible," build walls. Conversely, believing, "I can," "I will," or "I'll find a way," tears down virtual walls. These walls are built based on your attitude. Dismantling them requires a change in outlook. You have the power to adjust your thoughts, and therefore can decide to remove your walls.
Virtual walls grow over time. Ironically, most people aren't aware of the walls they have put in place. They are so conditioned to their existence that the walls become integrated into their self-identity. Since these walls are so limiting, dismantling them opens up new potential for you.
Since your virtual walls take time to build, they also require time to tear down. Rather than becoming overwhelmed by the task, start by removing just one brick. Continue brick by brick until the wall is gone. Each brick represents one aspect of your wall.
Don't empower fear. It doesn't matter what other people say, think, or do. Get over your fears by doing what you are afraid to do and go-
SPLENDID WORK IS DONE IN KEEPING THE FLAMES FROM SPREADING TO OTHER HOUSES CAUSE IS NOT LEARNED
The Bunker Hill pool hall in Bunker Hill was destroyed by fire about midnight. It made a big blaze and after the alarm was sounded people in the city thought that the mill was on fire and scores of autos flocked to the place.
The cause of the fire was not determined.
William Smith conducted the pool hall and had six rooms on the second floor rented to men working in the mills. Nothing was saved from the pool hall and the occupants of the rooms lost everything. There was a report last night that one of the roomers had been burned to death in the fire but this proved to be untrue.
Mr. Smith estimated his loss at $2400 and hat $1250 insurance on his stock and fixtures. The building was owned by P.J. Erickson of Los Angeles. He held $1500 insurance on the building but the structure would probably cost $2500 if erected at this time.
A neighbor seeing the fire reported it and it being out of the limits the matter was reported to Chief Davis before the alarm was turned in. The
ing where you are afraid to go. Walls cannot keep out fear.
You are in control of your emotions. You have no control over the actions of others, but you do have control over your response. You stay safe through the proactive management of your feelings. Walls will never ensure happiness.
Utilize your strengths. Appreciate everything you have. Concentrate on abundance rather than worrying about what you think is lacking. You have more to be thankful for than you realize. Walls do prevent you from attracting positive elements into your life.
Walls do not define who you are. Your character is based on your beliefs, attitudes, morals, and ethics. Your character can never be stolen or lost.
Tearing down walls is scary because change is required. Learn from your past. Repeat actions that brought desired results while avoiding unsuccessful behavior. Correct bad decisions by making better ones. As your walls vanish, you will enjoy an amazing view that used to be obscured by your self-imposed banishment within your virtual walled prison.

More hose was brought from the firehouse as it was a long distance to the hydrant, which is supplied by the mill water system. There was a little house close to the burning structure and the firemen did good work to save it.

sCripps league purChases the World
Sale of all the outstanding stock in The World of Coos Bay Inc., publisher of The World newspaper, to Scripps League Newspapers, Inc., was announced today. The announcement was made by John W. Sackett of Oakland, Calif., and David S. Sacket of Portland, trustees of the Sheldon F. Sackett Trust which has owned the newspaper since Sheldon F. Sackett died in September of 1968. The sale was effective Sunday. Terms were not disclosed.
The World becomes part of the Swift Division, a major operating segment of Scripps League which includes, in addition to others, two Oregon dailies — the Roseburg News-Review and the Klamath Falls Herald and News. Manager of the
When I was young and immortal, I used to sunbathe a lot. A lot. It was part of the Florida culture I grew up in, where flocks of shortsighted people with northern European pigmentation would descend on Clearwater Beach and broil our pale skin to a bright red amid the strains of Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville” wafting from the nearby hotels.
We had a term for this activity. The verb was “to lay out.” Not lie out, lay out. As in, “Wow, you’re beet red. Have you been laying out all day?”
“Yes, and I plan to lay out tomorrow, too.”
Years later, when I discovered things like being indoors and reading, I learned about the verbs “lay” and “lie.” And when I tried to find out whether one lays out in the sun or lies out in the sun, I learned something else: Lexicographers, the professionals who write dictionaries based on how people use language, come from a very different world than I do. I know this because, for all their definitions of “lay,” “lie,” “layout” and “lay out,” none refers to sunbathing.
In lexicographer land, the verb “to lay out” has several meanings, including to plan in detail or design something, for which Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary gives this example: “The transatlantic balloonists laid out a backup plan in case of an emergency.” (Crossing an ocean in a balloon? Sure, that’s a thing. But exposing bare skin to the sun? That’s just crazy.)
Merriam’s also defines “lay out” as spending money, preparing a corpse for viewing, knocking someone unconscious, arranging something, or marking something to work on it, as with a drilling machine.
The noun “layout” follows the pattern of a lot of verb-noun relationships in English. Unlike the verb form, it’s one word, similar to how the verbs “check up” and “make up” have as their noun forms “checkup” and “makeup.” The meaning of “layout”
is a little different, too. It’s usually a design, like the layout of a magazine or community or building. If you understand the difference between “lay” and “lie,” you might logically conclude that to sunbathe is to lie out, not lay out. “To lie” is an intransitive verb that means to recline (it also means to say something untrue, but that’s a different word than the one we’re talking about). When you lie, you do so yourself. That’s different from “lay,” which is a transitive verb and therefore takes an object. You lay the book on the table. The book is the object of the transitive verb. So you yourself lie. But you lay something else on a surface.
The past tense forms of “lay” and “lie” get confusing. That’s because the simple past tense of “lie” just happens to be “lay.” So today you lie on the couch, but yesterday you lay on the couch. The past participle, the one that goes with a form of “have,” is “lain”: in the past you have lain on the couch.
The past forms of “lay” are easier. Both the simple past tense and the past participle are “laid”: Today I lay the book on the table, yesterday I laid the book on the table, in the past I have laid the book on the table.
When you’re sunbathing, you’re not talking about laying some object on the sand. You’re talking about lying on the sand. So it would make sense that you would say “lie out” to mean sunbathe. But I think that would be wrong. Idiom — common usage — is a crucial element of correctness in English. So even if “to lie out” is truer to the definitions of “lie” and “lay,” “to lay out” is how people in my scorched, shriveled, leathery world describe sunbathing. And, unlike those lexicographers who sit indoors reading books all day, we’re the experts.

FLORENCE (AP) — A federal judge has ruled in favor of the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw, removing a significant legal hurdle in the tribes’ bid to build a casino near Florence.
Judge Thomas Coffin said Tuesday that Sec-
retary of Interior Gale Norton didn’t abuse her power when she granted special status to the 38-acre parcel east of Florence known as the Hatch Tract where the tribes want to build the casino.
“Now that the court has ruled, the tribe looks forward to proceeding with its plans to develop the Hatch Tract into a first class gaming venue which will be a credit to the tribe as well as to the tribe’s neighbor, the city of Florence,” said Tribal Administrator Francis Somday II.
The 800-member tribes is the only one of the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon without a casino.

An article in the January 1924 Western World told the story of one of Bandon's most unique businesses.
"The milk condensery of the Nestle's Food company (first picture) in Bandon is one of the largest factories of the kind on the coast. The output of dairies in northern Curry county and on the Coquille river is used. The milk from approximately 6,000 cows is consumed in making the product turned out.
"The factory makes the unsweetened evaporated milk and also the sweetened condensed milk. The Alpine brand is made for local and domestic consumption but the products of the factory almost entirely go abroad.
Condensed milk made in Bandon is used chiefly in Philippine Islands, Japan and China, and some has been sent to the Sahara Desert in Africa.
"The company operates a boat on the Coquille river for transporting the milk from the farmers along the waterway. Milk from northern Curry county is brought by auto truck to the factory.
"The plant is upto-date in equipment and is one of the most elaborate in the way of machinery and largest in output of any on the coast.
"The Nestle company operates several plants on the coast, among them a factory at McMinnville.
"The company maintains a large warehouse
As I See It:
and receiving station at Coquille where dairymen of that locality deliver their milk, which is brought down the river by the company boat."
In September of 1917, Giebisch and Joplin Condensed Milk Factory proposed a facility in Bandon, according to information in Dow Beckham's book Bandon By-The-Sea. In addition to the site, west of the Standard Oil dock, the owners asked the city to drive piling from the harbor to the south side of Division Street and then to the Main Street. The city's total cost was $7500.
On Dec. 6, 1917, Chris Richert began to put in 600 piling for the plant. Beginning August 1918, workmen began installing the machinery which included the tall smokestack, and on Jan. 16, 1919, Nestle's purchased the plant.
In 1924, water, which came out of Ferry Creek, became contaminated by yeast, and that, coupled with high freight costs, forced the company to close their doors on Nov. 1, 1925.
An article in the July 3, 1924, Western World heralded the formal opening of the Silver Spray Gardens (second photo).
"The formal opening of the Silver Spray Gardens, Bandon's mammoth dancing pavilion, was the occasion for an enormous gathering of people coming from all parts of Coos and adjacent counties. Over 2000 cars were counted in the space reserved on the bluff for parking (south of the Wecoma
Baths).
"Mayor C.R. Wade made a short introductory speech to the audience, followed by the strains of the opening dance by the High Breakers, the new orchestra under Vane Gartin, which will continue to furnish the most splendid musical for all future dances at the pavilion. The huge floor space proved none too large, and was soon thronged with dancers as many as 750 couples being on the floor at one time. The space reserved for spectators was jammed to capacity and many failed to get in at all.
"The new pavilion bids fair to become a successful unit in the plan to put Bandon on the map as a desirable pleasure resort."
"Hottest Day in History of Bandon" was the headline on the June 25, 1925, paper.
"It is believed that Wednesday was the hottest day ever experienced in Bandon. People who have lived here for 30 to 40 years say that have never seen the like. The official thermometer at the U.S. Coast Guard station registered 93 degrees, according to Captain Nutter, while the thermometer (unofficial) at the Lighthouse (third photo), according to Oscar Langlois, registered 97. At Coquille the temperature was 104 and at Myrtle Point and Bridge it was reported to be 110. At Marshfield it was 100 which was the highest in history at Coos Bay."
On July 8, around 2:33 p.m., the Coos County Sheriff's Office and the Coquille Fire Department responded to a field off North Bank Lane in response to a report of a downed aircraft.
The pilot, and only person on board, Raymond Kimball, 78, North Bend, survived the crash and was transported to Bay Area Hospital.
The National Traffic Safety Board was contacted after an initial investigation and will be taking over the investigation, according to Sgt. C. Gill of the sheriff's department.
Well-known local artist Janice Horne, 74, suffered a stroke Monday, July 3, while attending a movie in Coos Bay with her long-time friend Ava Richey. Ava immediately called for help, and after being taken to Bay Area Hospital, Janice was life-flighted out of the area, but they were not able to save her.
Janice and Ava are members of Art by the Sea gallery, and members gathered several nights later to remember and honor their friend.
Among her local relatives is her mother, Joann Horne, 93, who resides at Pacific View.
Other survivors include a sister and several brothers.
Janice had been painting all her life, and in 1979 she turned professional with her work exhibited in libraries, galleries and museums, with pieces on display in Australia, England, and in California, as well as a number of other states.
A long-time resident
of Bandon, Robert Graham passed away June 28 in Bandon at the age of 81.
Bob was Cardas Audio's first graphic designer and marketing director. He created their legendary Nautilus logo, and all of their magazine advertisements from the late 1980s through 2012.
Bob and George Cardas worked together long before the founding of the company, with Bob designing the log and advertisements for Cardas Racing Fuel.

The Chamber Minute: Opportunities to improve
As I mentioned last week, every year, about this time, I conduct a one on one conversation with each of the 21 members of the Chamber Board. The purpose is to get their sense of where the organization is at and where it’s headed. I shared some of those insights with you on three of the five subject areas already. Here are the last two.
Improvements & Opportunities
• We need consistency in our activities
• Chamber has changed this year with new fresh ideas. So many initiatives and goals to educate and interact with members and the community, makes me very excited.
• Sharing of goals and projects, that take time, are important for success
• There is new vision with a push to digital with video proposed and more interactive connections. That’s
important as people doing business here don’t always live here.
• We have done a lot of changes lately
• Need to understand how to get more folks more engaged.
• We offer lots of good ideas floating around for positive change
• Like the new ideas like the business education proposal, uniting the SBDC, BBSi , Cardinal and more to focus on value to our business members, their needs and operational help.
• We need to do something during the summer when the WBC is not running
• Maybe we could have a simple Happy Hour gathering, say monthly or quarterly, just for the sake of building relationships.
• The Chamber needs to do more outreach. Maybe we
could delegate or automate that role.
• We should visit the entire membership at least two times per year. Observations
• The chamber has a solid public image
• Happy with my Chamber involvement, as it gets my brain working.
• We have been busy with the challenges coming out of COVID.
• As we emerge from that COVID time we are looking for a working balance and realize we can’t do everything.
• Even though the COVID times were stressful ones, we worked together to make it through successfully.
• You will never understand the worth of the chamber unless you are involved.
• I like that we didn’t fold during the COVID pandemic. We kept it going and now we
are rebuilding.
• Enjoyed getting involved in the community, through the Chamber
• This is my home, and the Chamber is working hard to fix the issues and problems impacting it.
• Proud to be a member
• We all need to stay more connected.
• The Chamber experience has been really good for me personally and professionally.
• During COVID we all came together, with ideas and energy, to ensure we survived, (Community, Business & Chamber).
• Appreciate all the chamber does for the community and business
• During COVID, the Chamber had everyone’s back by providing information and help.
• Everything done benefits businesses in the area.
Timm Slater
So Chamber member, lots of great things going on that you can be part of today. Give us a call and we’ll line you up. Remember our business is helping your business. And like us on Facebook.
I was born in southwestern Montana into a musical family and studied cello at the University of Montana. For several years, my husband Scott and I developed wildlife refuges, turning unproductive ranch wetlands into prime habitat for waterfowl and trout. We then moved to the Oregon Coast in 1995 where I shifted my artistic focus to painting fine art. I enjoy painting a variety of subjects including landscapes, but have a particular fondness for birds and wildlife. Depicting the habitat in which my subjects are found is a source of great joy for me. I find everything from moss, lichen and tree bark to beach
and ocean scenes fascinating and seek opportunities to include them in my work. When watching a bird or any form of wildlife, not only function but thrive in an in-tact environment, I feel a tremendous sense of harmony. I welcome you into my world as an artist, to share my appreciation of the amazing and beautiful world in which we live. See more of my work at www. kimberlywurster.com

Dear Abby Abigail Van Buren
By
My mom turns 85 this year. When my father died of congestive heart failure 10 years ago, our family had a clear understanding of Dad's wishes about the end-of-life care he wanted. We knew he didn't want "heroic measures," like a feeding tube or to be on a ventilator. Since Dad had been sick for a few years and he was open to these discussions, Mom felt confident making choices for his care when he could no longer communicate his wishes.
With Mom, it is a completely different story. She refuses to have conversations about this with my siblings and me, and accuses us of being "morbid." Although she has a will, she has made no decisions about a proxy or for her care. Do you have any suggestions for how we can help Mom feel more comfortable having these conversations and documenting her wishes?
Dear Abby: — LOVING, NOT MORBID, DAUGHTER
DEAR DAUGHTER:
Offer your mother resources that normalize discussions about end-of-life wishes and care.
Helping to ensure that she receives the care she wants is not morbid. It is a gift to her and your family. If something happens to a loved one and they can no longer communicate for themselves, you should not have to guess what their wishes would be in a crisis.
Start with the perfect gift for Mom: "Finish Strong: Putting Your Priorities First at Life's End," a book written by Barbara Coombs Lee, the president emerita and senior adviser of Compassion & Choices. Compassion & Choices is an organization I have mentioned before in my column and to which I contribute. It offers a multitude of resources, including "My Endof-Life Decisions: An Advance Planning Guide and Toolkit." It would be a helpful starting point for a discussion with your mother. For more information, visit compassionandchoices.org.
Dear Abby: — HEART-HURTING DAD
I am a divorced dad with two adult daughters and a 14-year-old daughter. My older daughters are learning to be responsible for themselves, and I'm proud of them. The question I need help with involves my youngest. She doesn't want to go to school. She stays awake on the phone. I have taken two of them from her, yet her mom keeps giving her phones. I have unplugged the Wi-Fi. I've tried talking to my ex about this to no avail.
DEAR DAD:
Your ex-wife appears to be irresponsible in the care of your daughter. She is also attempting to alienate the girl from you. It is very important to find out why your 14-year-old doesn't want to go to school. Is she being bullied? Has she fallen so far behind that she's afraid she can't catch up? Did the COVID lockdown impair her social skills as it has many other students?
Once you know what you are dealing with, you may be able to do more than lecture her about her truancy, and that is what I am recommending. She may need counseling.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

The South Slough Reserve is one of 30 estuary reserve areas that are nationally protected. The local reserve is managed by the Oregon Department of State Lands and is used for long-term research, education, and coastal stewardship.
“This is everybody’s space and we want people to know that it’s here,” said South Slough Outreach Specialist Debra Rudd.
The living laboratory contained within the protected space helps both professionals and community members understand how watersheds work.
“Having this protected space allows us to do education, research and stewardship activities, and also, being a state agency, we are here to serve the people,” Rudd said.
An estuary is a place where freshwater and saltwater mix. This environment creates habitat and a nursery for many species, from salmon and crab, to bald eagles, herons, beavers, river otters, deer and elk.
“It is just a really unique environment that people can learn from and protect for generations to come,” Rudd said.
There are a variety
of opportunities for the public to submerse themselves within the local estuary habitats. Summertime activities are currently in full swing.
In the next couple months, the South Slough community events calendar includes a kayak skills training, paddle with a scientist and blue moon paddle trip. There is a small fee associated with these events. Participants can bring their own kayak, or use one of six kayaks available to rent for these activities.
A free second-Saturday stewards program takes place every month to help keep the reserve healthy. Community members can help South Slough staff and volunteers by doing activities like weeding and planting.
“We'll tackle a different area of the reserve that isn't necessarily part of our normal trail system,” Rudd said. ”So you get to go to parts of the reserve that usually only our research staff get to see and help us with invasive weeds.”
The South Slough Calendar includes an upcoming guided nature hike in the woods to explore the flora and fauna on some of the South Slough’s most popular trails.
Community members can also take self-guided hikes throughout
the South Reserve trails system. Trails are open from dawn to dusk, and include a variety of options from a short ten-minute loop trail, to the North Creek full loop trail, which is about three and a half miles.
Other projects take place outside of the reserve, like the “Tide of the toddlers” series.
“From March through October, we've made a partnership with local libraries and they have us bring this toddler program to them. So we are, in essence, bringing the estuary to the toddlers,” Rudd said. “It’s been a really fun program.”
South Slough community activities calendar and trail maps are available at the Visitor
Center, which is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the exception of state holidays. Reservations are required for community programs. Outreach specialist Rudd said the programs fill up fast.
She suggests frequently checking their website, southsloughestuary,org or following them on social media to keep up to date with activities. Those who sign up for the online newsletter will be notified about upcoming events first.
The South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve is located at 61907 Seven Devils Road in Charleston. They can be reached at 541-888-5558.
First Hidden Bottle Hunt Bottle Discovered in North Bend
Scott Lanini of Salem finds first of six hidden bottles for Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative’s Hidden Bottle Hunt 2023 on Saturday in North Bend’s Simpson Park, winning the opportunity to direct a $1000 donation to Camp Okada.
“I made a few new acquaintances through the Treasure Hunters Facebook page and learned a few new things like the myrtlewood coins or Prefontaine’s birthplace, which was pretty interesting and fun,” said Lanini.
“I also love the charitable goal at the end of all this.”
Lanini is a third-year bottle hunter who got to experience
his first win this year. With a stepson who has autism, it was important to Lanini that he direct his prize donation to a non-profit that supports kids with autism. He has witnessed the positive impacts of dedicated spaces for kids with autism and wanted to pay that experience forward. Lanini hopes to continue bottle hunting in the future.
Camp Okada is a summercamp that is designed to support children with high functioning autism spectrum disorders and Asperger’s syndrome. The camp is a four-night sleep away experience that aims to provide a safe, fun, and friendly environment for learning and enhancing social skills through group activities and noncompetitive games. Camp Okada is one of over 5,000 non-profits that are a part of the BottleDrop Give program. With four bottles found on Saturday, there are now
two more bottles left to be found across Oregon. Participants can learn more about the hunt and sign up for daily clue reminders by visiting a dedicated page on BottleDrop’s website.
What is the Hidden Bottle Hunt?
OBRC’s third statewide Hidden Bottle Hunt runs July 5 – 9 to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of the Oregon Bottle Bill. It is a treasure hunt with six specially designed, blue-painted bottles with commemorative medallions hidden throughout the state. BottleDrop releases one clue per bottle, per day, on their website, leading hunters to the final hiding spot. The lucky finders each keep the commemorative bottle and select a BottleDrop Give nonprofit partner to receive a $1,000 donation though
BottleDrop’s Containers for Change program.
What is the Bottle Bill?
On July 2, 1971, Oregon became the first state in the nation to pass a Bottle Bill – a system that provides a redemption value for containers purchased in Oregon, incentivizing recycling and keeping bottles and cans out of our natural areas. It remains a groundbreaking approach to addressing the issue of litter in our forests, rivers, beaches, scenic byways, and other natural areas. Over time, Oregon’s system has grown and innovated to become a national model of beverage container redemption and recycling, inspiring national and international delegations to visit Oregon to learn about its unique and effective system.
