SWOCC presents lectures on “The Physics of Anime”

Southwestern Oregon Community College invites the community to join us on Thursday, Nov. 21, at 6 p.m., for “The Physics of Anime” with Dr. Roman Gomez from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), San Antonio, Texas. Dr. Gomez will also be giving us an update on what he has been working on at SwRI. This is a free event; all ages are welcome.

Coos County residents can join us in-person in the Umpqua Hall lecture room (room 184) on the Coos Campus, 1988 Newmark Ave., Coos Bay.

Curry County residents can join us for a watch party in the Community Room on the Curry Campus, 96082 Lone Ranch Parkway, Brookings.

For those not able to attend in person the lecture will be streamed live on the College’s YouTube channel at: www.youtube.com/@southwesternOR/streams. Anime is a medium that has recently become quite popular. Given its nation of origin, it introduces us to some very new concepts and ideas. Some religious and cultural

concepts are distinctly Japanese and help broaden our social and cultural worldviews. However, while familiar, others may still be relatively new to many viewers, one of which is science. While some anime directly addresses scienti c principles, others, especially those in the science ction genre, introduce these concepts in their storytelling. Surprisingly, anime sometimes gets their physics right, giving us a vehicle for enjoyably discussing very complex concepts if we allow a few “miracles” to occur. This lecture will discuss some of these concepts in depth in a beginner-friendly way. It’s meant to be one one-part physics lecture, one one-part geek-out session, and a lot of fun, just like watching anime. Roman Gomez has over 18 years of work experience in the eld of space science and engineering. Gomez has worked as a Lead Scientist at Southwest Research Institute since 2008, where they developed, calibrated, implemented, and analyzed data from plasma instruments on spacecraft. Gomez was involved in projects

Connected Senior Program Launches in Gold Beach, Bridging Generational Divide Through Technology

GOLD BEACH — The Connected Senior Program successfully launched in Gold Beach last week.

This collaborative effort, spearheaded by Beacon Broadband’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Bill Gerski and Soroptimist Club of Gold Beach, President Debbie Knight, aims to equip senior citizens with essential digital literacy skills, empowering them to navigate the digital world confidently. The program's inaugural class in Gold Beach saw enthusiastic senior citizens eager to embrace new technological skills. Paired with tech-savvy high school student volunteers, the seniors embarked on their digital journey, beginning with basics like using a trackpad, powering on a computer, and exploring various applications. The classroom buzzed with intergenerational connections as conversations flowed easily between the seniors and students. Lively discussions about high school football filled the air, while at another table, family histories were shared. This

intergenerational learning environment fostered connections between different age groups, allowing participants to share their unique perspectives and experiences. Notably, Oregon State Representative Court Boice’s mother Meryl Boice was among the enthusiastic participants. Under the guidance of instructor Kassandra Marley, Beacon Broadband’s Technical Services Representative, the seniors diligently absorbed the foundational lesson. The program’s curriculum, designed to increase in complexity week by week, promises to equip participants with a comprehensive understanding of digital tools.

The Connected Senior Program addresses a critical need in Curry County, where 26% of the population is over the age of 65, the highest percentage in Oregon. By empowering seniors with digital literacy, the program aims to help them stay connected with family and friends through video calls and online platforms, utilize telehealth

services for remote consultations and health monitoring, manage finances conveniently through online banking, access government services online, and enjoy the convenience of online shopping, which is particularly beneficial for seniors in rural areas.

The Connected Senior Program is a shining example of community collaboration. Key partners in this effort include Beacon Broadband, the driving force behind the program, providing resources and expertise to bridge the digital divide; the Soroptimist Club of Gold Beach, instrumental in organizing and supporting the initiative, reflecting their commitment to community betterment (Tracy Ellenbecker, Tricia Bartlett-Iverson, Harmony, and Debbie Knight were specifically involved) and the Curry Health Foundation, a vital partner that recognizes the program’s potential to improve seniors’ access to healthcare resources. Support was also provided by the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative, Inc., which offered admin-

istrative support; Calix, where Arizona Parker contributed valuable educational resources to enhance the program’s effectiveness; and Gold Beach High School, with Carly Write facilitating the participation of high school student volunteers.

The program has garnered significant community support, including donations from CoBank, Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative, Inc., Beacon Broadband, and the Curry Health Foundation, which have been allocated to purchase Chromebooks for the classes. The Connected Senior Program is poised to make a lasting impact on the lives of Gold Beach’s senior citizens, fostering digital inclusion and strengthening community bonds. As the program evolves, its positive ripple effects are sure to be felt throughout the community. For information about future Connected Senior Program classes, contact Bill Gerski at billg@beaconbroadband. com.

One of the longest standing buildings which survived the 1936 Bandon Fire was the old gymnasium in East Bandon, which doubled as the grade school for nearly three years before the Ocean Crest School was built in 1939 in west Bandon.

The old gym ( rst photo) served several decades of students, and served as the gymnasium for high school students during the 1940s and 1950s before the "new" high school was built on the site of the present school with an attached gym, now the Harbor Lights Middle School gym.

An article in the November 27, 1980, Western World told of its demise.

"The old high school gymnasium was burned to the ground this weekend, but unlike some res, this one wasn't an accident and it wasn't an act of wasteful vandalism (referring to the arson re which destroyed the high school in January of 1974).

"The old building was property of the Bandon School District, and when the District asked the Bandon Fire Department to destroy the building to eliminate the hazards of the condemned building, the gym became another kind of school property.

"Sponsored by Southwestern Oregon Community College, but headed largely by re ghting instructor and Bandon re chief Lanny Boston, the weekend lesson gave re departments from around the area a chance to practice their trade and maybe learn a few new techniques. Firemen and women representing many departments participated in the two-day lesson (second photo).

"Saturday was spent learning the techniques such as ladder climbing and knot tying. And Sunday the re ghters put the techniques to work when they torched off the building at about 8:30 a.m. By early afternoon

As I See It

the building had tumbled and all that was left was the smoldering coals."

The third picture features Western World's entry in the 1966 Cranberry Festival parade, with the " oat" driven by pressman Bob Turner. The car is decorated with a roll of newsprint on top, and is parked about where the Bandon Fisheries Building is today.

I learned that Richard "Dick" Handley, 86, died Oct. 13 in Coos Bay after battling Parkinson's Disease for several years. Dick taught and coached in the Bandon School District for many years, and judging from the comments on Facebook, he made a lasting impression on many young lives.

Dick and Louise had a showplace of owers at their Franklin Avenue home, near the high school, and they also had a home in Portland.

Among his survivors are his wife, Louise, and three children, Rick, Beth and Mike and their families.

I also learned that Bandon native Mary Franson died Oct. 13 at the age of 68 after a lengthy illness. She was the daughter of the late Harry and Naomi Franson, and was a member of the Bandon High School Class of 1974.

Among her survivors are her cousins, including David Dornath and Sherry Yarbrough. After graduating from high school, Mary worked

many years at Western World for her cousin Marilyn Strycker and husband, Warren.

And now for some more sad news. Many people in the community witnessed the big law enforcement presence outside the Farmers Insurance Agency of ce on Baltimore Thursday afternoon.

In a statement issued by Police Chief Cory Dhillon, he said that the Bandon Police had conducted an incident that led to the probable cause arrest of Jesse Sweet, 43, for strangulation, menacing and fourth degree domestic assault.

"Due to speci c knowledge of weapons and forti cations at the residence, as well as a previous lack of cooperation with law enforcement, the Coos County SWAT team was deployed to take Sweet into custody."

Chief Dhillon also informed the schools to stay clear of the area when releasing children as an abundance of caution.

Sweet was booked into the Coos County Jail.

On Sunday, at approximately 9:23 p.m., a 9-1-1 call came in indicating that a person had been shot at a residence on Spring Creek Road outside of Bandon. Upon arrival, of cers found Thomas John Thoeny, 53, with an apparent gun shot wound. He lived in a fth wheel located on the property. He was transported to Bay Area Hospital, where he died.

County Jail on a charge of second degree murder. Green is believed to be the sister of Mr. Thoeny and resided in a house on the same property.

If you saw people standing on the east side of Fillmore Avenue Thursday afternoon, you might have wondered what had happened.

A Bandon man, Mike Chapin, was operating a backhoe, headed up Fillmore toward Mallory Lane, with one of the Mallorys behind him in a pickup.

As he got nearly to the top of Fillmore, the backhoe lost power, and he was unable to control it as it began to slide back down Fillmore, with Mallory backing up to get out of its way.

He was able to maneuver it enough to jump the sidewalk on the east side, and he rode it down into the ravine, before crawling out of the overturned vehicle, unhurt, through the brush...without his glasses or his Bluetooth.

By that time, Mast Bros. wrecker had arrived, as well as the city's Public Works Director Tim Lakey, who closed off traf c to Fillmore while the wrecker retrieved the backhoe.

The hearing on an appeal of the new Keiser golf course south of Bandon was set fpr Wednesday, Oct. 23, at 1:30 p.m. by the Coos County Commissioners. The hearing was to be held in the commissioners' chambers in the Owen Building, 201 N. Adams St. in Coquille. Oregon Coast Alliance (ORCA), based in Astoria, appealed the planning commission decision, which approved the new course.

maintenance facility, restrooms, a caddy shack, driving range, practice course and parking.

The development would be on about 340 acres west of the highway and south of Boak Lane, which would be the principal access. The southern end would be directly across the highway from the Bandon Crossings Golf Course.

Ballot measure 6-217 is one more attempt to pass a levy dedicated to funding two pods (98 beds) at the Coos County Jail. Passage of this levy would increase taxes by only 49 cents per thousand since another levy (for radio towers) will be paid off by the time the jail levy would be certi ed, according to information from the county. I personally urge people to support this levy, with all funds raised to be dedicated to the operation of the jail.

Ocean River LLC of Bandon applied for a conditional use permit in April to establish the 18-hole golf course with accessory uses in the exclusive farm use zone. Mike Keiser signed the application.

The accessory uses would include a clubhouse/restaurant, a

The levy would allow the county to avoid signi cant reductions in service levels over the next ve years, while working to establish additional sources of revenue.

I have received mostly positive reviews about the letter that I mailed to many of the voters in the last week or so, which also included one of my scenic photos designed to share my love of photography, and local scenery, with my fellow Bandonians.

I joined a fellow board member and employees of the hospital at the Southern Coos Health District's table at the Bandon Booster Club's annual Gold Rush dessert auction fundraiser Saturday night. I understand they raised over $30,000 which goes to support athletics in the Bandon School District. It was a gala, fun event, enjoyed by a big crowd, who opened their hearts and their wallets to support the local athletes. Rita Hamilton, head of dietary at the hospital,

donated three tasty desserts for the auction.

In addition to desserts, purchased through both silent and oral auction, a wonderful dinner was served, catered by Jami Gallagher of The Station Restaurant.

Representing the Bandon History Museum, I was the speaker at the Meet and Greet, Tuesday, Oct. 22, at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse. I talked about the lawsuit that tied up the building of the hospital overlooking

the lighthouse for several years, which left the community without a hospital from 1955 to 1960. I also shared articles from a group of 1996 and '97 Western World newspapers, which I purchased at an estate sale at the home of the late Bill Russell.

The following week, Oct. 29, Lynette Whitcomb talked about Medicare 101, in a program sponsored by the Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center. Many of us will be losing our Regence BlueCross BlueShield Medicare Advantage program, and she talked about alternatives.

The hospital's free drive-through u shot clinic at city park was held Oct. 23.. COVID vaccine boosters were also available. There was no charge for the vaccines, but donations to the Southern Coos Health Foundation were encouraged and appreciated. The clinic was offered free with funds raised by the Foundation from proceeds from the Golf for Health Classic and the Gift Shop. This year's 17th Annual Golf For Health Classic raised $100,000 which is signicantly higher than last

year's $78,000. Rex and Carla Smith, owners of Bandon Crossings, have hosted the event for the past 17 years.

"Coquille River Anthology," a new comedy-drama opening Nov. 1 by the Bandon Playhouse will be performed at the Wheelhouse Restaurant, Gallery Room, Nov. 1, 2, 3 and 8, 9, 10 on Friday and Saturday at 7, and at 2 on Sunday. The Wheelhouse Restaurant is open for lunch and dinner on all performance dates. Call 541-347-9331 for dinner reservations. For ticket information visit

I had an opportunity to visit with a number of residents of the Paci c View Senior Living facility last week, and one of the questions that several of them asked was when will there be a sidewalk from town down to the jetty. I told them that we had been discussing that for years, but so far all we have managed to complete is what we "lovingly" refer to as the "sidewalk to nowhere," at the end of First Street adjacent to the former Edgewater's Restaurant. They were a great audience, even though I had to do most of the talking.

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

Odd Last Wills of the Rich and Famous

BY J. MARK POWELL

Certain chores in life aren’t fun, but they are necessary. Such as preparing your last will. People often put it off as long as possible, dreading the day when the Man In the Bright Nightshirt (as W.C. Fields called death; more on him in a minute) comes calling. A will serves another purpose. It can provide valuable insights into historical gures. How they distributed their personal effects often reveals what was going on in the head and heart.

So, let us consider the quirky, eccentric and downright weird tidbits tucked away in the farewell documents of

several famous folks. You learned it as a child: “Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.” Paul was a true patriot, and a darn good silversmith and engraver, too. Which made him prosperous in Revolutionary Boston. However, Paul had a beef with a certain relative. He left most of his children and grandkids $500 each — a nice chunk of change in 1818. One grandson got only $1. Imagine the family discussion after that will was read! Historians aren’t certain why that particular grandson fell out of favor.

Poor Eli Whitney. All he wanted to do was invent a machine to make

farm work a little easier. And he did, too. His cotton gin also made the mass production of cotton possible, which greatly increased the demand for slave labor, which in turn fueled the split that led to the Civil War.

When he died in 1825, his will said two nephews each got $1,000. Mrs. Whitney was given all their household furniture, plus “my Horse, Chaise & Sleigh.” No word on how the Widow Whitney felt about that.

Speaking of the Late Unpleasantness (a Southern euphemism for the Civil War), Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” got folks on both sides riled up. So much so that when President Lincoln met her, he remarked, “So you’re the little woman who wrote the book that caused this great big war.”

When she passed away in 1896 at age 85, she left her son a stack of valuable railroad stocks; and she threw in a Florida orange grove for good measure.

Daniel Webster was a inty Granite Stater who served as senator and secretary of state and who bested Satan in “The Devil and Daniel Webster.” But he couldn’t best death.

When his time ran out

in 1852, his will disposed of every last belonging, including his shing tackle and a gold snuffbox decorated with George Washington’s likeness. A lucky grandson got those goodies. (And what boy wouldn’t want a gold snuffbox?)

J.P. Morgan was a nononsense business tycoon who was the richest man in America in his day. We’re talking Sam Walton, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates wealth here. During the Panic of 1907, he personally intervened, keeping the United States government from declaring bankruptcy. That’s how rich he was.

When he died six years later, his handwritten will left “One Million Dollars” (his capital letters) in a trust for his wife. That would be nearly $32 million today. The Widow Morgan did not go without.

We mentioned W.C. Fields earlier. The comic genius was also a troubled soul. He was deeply paranoid, often imagining that people were out to get him. As a result, he repeatedly changed his will on a whim.

One version included endowing a “W. C. Fields Home for Orphan Colored Boys and Girls, Where No Religion of Any Sort is to Be

Preached.” When he got into an argument later with a Black domestic servant he felt was stealing from him, he had his attorney revise the document to the “W.C. Fields Home for White Orphan Boys and Girls …”

That provision was in the nal will when the end came on Christmas Day, 1946, a holiday he claimed to hate. (Fields’ estranged wife and son used that clause to legally challenge the document, too.)

Finally, history offers an object lesson for us to ponder. This last example doesn’t include any unusual bequeaths because — get this — Abraham Lincoln died without a will. And remember what he did for a living before he moved into the White House? He was a lawyer. That’s right: the man famous for writing the Gettysburg Address forgot to write a will for himself, proving the old saying, “Cobbler’s children need shoes.”

That omission caused tremendous problems for his widow, the emotionally disturbed Mary Todd Lincoln. The probate court named Supreme Court Justice David Davis, a longtime Lincoln political supporter, the administrator of Lincoln’s estate. Davis may have

been good friends with Abe, but he had a testy relationship with Mary. Settling the estate was a long, bitter, costly affair. So, do your loved ones a huge favor. If you don’t have a will, have one prepared. They’ll be happy to know that gold snuffbox will be staying in the family after all.

Dia De Muertos cele ations in Coos Bay, Brookings

On Friday, Nov. 1, from 5 to 7 p.m., organizations from across the region will host a community-wide event at Coos Bay Public Library to honor and celebrate Dia de Muertos. The following day, Saturday, Nov. 2, from 5 to 7 p.m., the celebration will continue at Chetco Activity Center in Brookings. This free event will feature live mariachi music from Mariachi Monumental of Oregon, delicious food, crafts, face painting, and lotería game. We will also have an altar and invite community members to bring photos of

deceased loved ones to add to the altar. Join us for an evening of cultural connections and celebration!

As part of the celebration, Mariachi Monumental, directed by Arturo Zavala, will perform. Based in Eugene, this group has been showcasing the best in musicianship since 2012, with a wide repertoire of traditional Mexican music. They will play two forty- ve-minute sets, adding a vibrant musical element to this event. Dia de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is about the profound bond between the living and

the deceased. When families gather during this time, they commemorate and honor the memories of loved ones who have passed away. This gathering is an act of love, remembrance, and respect, acknowledging that those who have died remain a vital part of the family and community. It’s a time to share stories, traditions, and the joy of life, ensuring that the spirits of the departed are remembered and celebrated. This beautiful tradition bridges generations and keeps family ties strong across the boundaries of death.

For the Day of the Dead celebration, families create altars, known as ofrendas, for their deceased loved ones. The deep meaning of these altars lies in their role as a bridge between the living and the dead. Altars allow families to honor and remember their departed loved ones, inviting their spirits to return for a joyful reunion. Each item placed on the altar has symbolic signi cance: marigolds guide the spirits with their vibrant color and scent, photos remind the family of their loved ones' presence, candles light the way, incense

puri es the space, and offering favorite foods and drinks nourishes the spirits on their journey. Personal items and mementos evoke cherished memories, creating a manifestation of love, respect, and continuity. Altars show the cycle of life and death, emphasizing the lasting connection between generations and the shared traditions that go beyond death. This celebration is made possible through the incredible efforts and generous support of Coos Bay Public Library, South Coast Health Equity Coalition, Coos Hispanic

Allies, Latinx Culture Club, Oregon Department of Human Services, Three Rivers Foundation, Advanced Health, South Coast Early Learning, NeighborWorks Umpqua, AllCare Health, and Gies Law LLC, Rancho Viejo Restaurant, Oregon Department of Human Services Of ce of Resilience and Emergency Management, Maria’s Mexican Restaurant. We deeply appreciate your commitment to our community! For more information about the event, email Carolina Rios at carolina@southcoastequity. org.

Guest Column

BY JUNE CASAGRANDE

That’s exactly what they’re saying in Germany, where the “idiot’s apostrophe,” as some call it, just got of cial approval.

In French, to show that someone possesses something, you use their word for “of,” which is “de”: La plume de ma tante. Spanish works the same way: La venganza de Moctezuma. Italian, too: Buca di Beppo. I don’t know as much about German, but the internet tells me that in many cases you form the possessive by just adding an s at the end of the noun: Angelas Mercedes. And then there’s English. A simple “of”? Sure, we can use it in rare constructions: A friend of Bill. But usually we don’t. A simple s? No can do. That’s our system for forming plurals. Marias means more than one Maria. Not that Maria owns something. An apostrophe plus s? Sure, sometimes, but only when you’re talking about a singular: the cat’s tail. When your noun is plural, you usually add an apostrophe with no s: the cats’ tails. But that’s only when the plural is made plural with an s. When it’s plural and doesn’t end with s, you add s plus an apostrophe just as you would for a singular: children’s books. From the outside looking in, this can seem like an odd system. Illogical. Some might even say idiotic.
