Kitchen enjoys performing tribally-specific songs to inspire and educate Native and non-Native audiences about Indigenous history, contemporary issues, and the diversity and beauty of American Indian music. She also loves telling traditional stories.

“For me, it’s definitely been a joyful thing to do,” Kitchen said.

Part of the storyteller’s goal is to make sure that her audience realizes that there are about 574 federally-recognized tribes in the U. S. and many more First Nations in Canada.

There is a large range of stories and languages that originate from these different tribes, she said.

“I showcase the diversity, but also the tribal specificity from some of these books,” Kitchen said.

Even though there are many tribes, universal messages resonate from their stories.

“Many of the Native books I read have

themes that are similar to other cultures around the world, like kindness, generosity and appreciation for the natural world,” kitchen said.

Through story and song, Karen promotes themes of healing, nurturing our relationships with the natural world, and feeling gratitude for life’s many gifts.

“There are definitely themes of peace and self-care, care for the environment and care for community,” she said.

Karen is proud to be a citizen of the Osage Nation of Oklahoma.

In September 2021, her duo, The Prairie Blossoms, performed at the grand opening of the First Americans Museum in Oklahoma City and shared music from their CD, “Till the Star Rises Here.”

Community members participate in housing discussion

BY BREE LAUGHLIN The World

Community members came together at the North Bend Public Library to take part in a conversation about housing and belonging on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

The event was a part of the Oregon Humanities Conversation Project.

“The Conversation Project programs bring people together to talk about their beliefs and experiences around timely and important issues and ideas,” said Drea Douglas, the learning coordinator at the North Bend Public Library.

Douglas introduced Reeva Wortel, a facilitator with Oregon Humanities Conversation Project, to the group of about a dozen community members participating in the conversation.

For the next hour and a half, they discussed issues about how they view home, belonging, and different ways of

looking at the issue of housing and the houseless.

Wortel asked the participants what they think about when they hear the word home.

“I've come to define this for myself over time and realized it's about the people. That's what really defines home for me. It's the people that I'm surrounded with and how I feel in their company that makes me feel at home,” Wortel said.

“Then I often think of the word safety.

Now that I've become a mother, I think about my child's safety and how to create a home for her,” she said.

Community conversation participants talked about their views of home. Different themes emerged including safety, comfort, community support – and an intangible feeling of belonging.

So what is belonging?

While many equate homelessness with mental health or drug problems, that isn’t always the case – and it’s important not to group people together that way, they said.

“People that have houses have mental health problems and addiction issues and hoarding issues and people that don’t have houses have these issues. We all have these issues. These are complex issues that our society has,” Wortel said.

“It's incredibly easy to judge other people and not have empathy of where they're at,” one woman said. “But what if that was your kid? When you're in a homeless situation, you are in survival mode.

You think about nothing else except for what's going to happen within the next 60 seconds.”

“There’s so many of us living from paycheck to paycheck. We're all having to cut corners.

We're all having to make sacrifices. We're all having to dig down deep. Not just for ourselves, but for other people too. We all have

feeling like they could be their full selves.

They don’t have to try to fit in when they feel they are in a place they belong. At the same time, it was important to have a place where they could have privacy.

Wortel opened up about her experience as a child living in a car with her mother.

“I remember my mom always trying to string up blankets trying to make privacy for us,” she said.

In her early career, Wortel said she worked with mothers who were trying to find homes for themselves and their children.

“When I've talked to people that have had to camp or live on the street, privacy – and not having it – is a big thing, and it’s such a human right,” she said.

Wortel asked community members about their perspective on the issue of housing in Coos County.

Some of those participating in the community conversation work with the houseless population. Others had been displaced from a home, or had family members who had experienced housing struggles.

-------------------------Photography Exhibit

by Gary Sharp Through November North Bend Public Library The North Bend Public Library is pleased to present a photography exhibit showcasing the work of NBPL former director and longtime photographer Gary Sharp.

This retrospective exhibit features an eclectic mix of landscapes, portraits, travel photos taken during Sharp’s travels in Europe, the West Coast, and New England, and still life images of everyday objects around his home of North Bend, Oregon. The exhibit also includes a selection of small format Polaroid image transfers. Sharp’s still life images highlight his experimentation with still life photography, which focuses on capturing everyday objects as they are found. Sharp says, "I… have a keen interest in the photography of small things, such as ordinary household or found objects. I like waiting for soft, vivid light to bring out the color, simplicity, and beauty of things that otherwise wouldn't attract much attention.

Close-up photography is a fine way to enjoy quiet moments in my kitchen or by a sunlit window."

The exhibit will be available during the month of November. The exhibit can be viewed in the Conference Room at the North Bend Public Library. Gary Sharp was the director of the North

Bend Public Library until his retirement in 2017.

His photography has been featured in exhibits at the Coos Bay Public Library, Portland’s Blue Sky Gallery, and at the K-21 Artist Collective in Copenhagen, Denmark. Additionally, his photographs have been published in Oregon People Magazine and in two literary works which feature writers and artists of Coos County, Voices in Winter Rain and Spirit Fish: Voices of the South Coast.

\Wyatt Holm battled Eliana Valencia while it stormed outside

Intermediate chess players showing their medals

Advanced players for a group photo.

Eighteen chess players battled it out while a storm raged outside at the Bandon Public Library. Ages ranged from first grade to adult. Dr. Nancy Keller was glad to see girls are returning to chess as they made up a third of the players.

In the advanced section, Frank Morse won by the skin of his teeth as he played a losing position against Ray Fletcher but Ray's clock ran out of time. "Where did the time go?"

In the intermediate section, second grader Ari Ish-Shalom was undefeated. Even first grader August Philippeos was tough to beat. Second grader Ruth Scott tied for 3rd place with this being her first tournament.

ADVANCED WINNERS WERE: 1st place: Frank Morse - 11th grade Coquille 2nd place: Ray Fletcher - adult Coos Bay 3rd place tie: Misha von Dassow - 7th grade Coos Bay and Nadia von Dassow - 4th grade Coos Bay

INTERMEDIATE WINNERS WERE: 1st place: Ari Ish-Shalom - 2nd grade Coquille 2nd place: Anya von Dassow - 4th grade Coos Bay 3rd place 3-way tie: George Philippeos - 3rd grade Bandon, Ryder Stadelman - 6th grade Bandon and Ruth Scott - 2nd grade Coquille

Next tournament open to all ages will be in Port Orford at Pacific High School December 2 hosted by Amanda Carlton.

Come try your skills against these amazing chess players.

And don't play easy against those young ones.

For information, contact Dr. Nancy Keller at 541-290-8479 or drnancykeller@yahoo.com.

Don't let their cuteness fool you as these are tough chess players: Ari Ish-Shalom and August Philippeos pondering their next moves.

Gloria Ann Wiley

Johanne “Jan” Hooper

November 11, 1932 – November 1, 2023

Gloria Ann Wiley, 90, of Broadbent, passed away November 1, 2023, in Myrtle Point, Oregon.

She was born on November 11, 1932, in Portland, Oregon. Gloria was a humble, selfless, and caring Christian woman who dedicated her life to her family.

She married James Paul Wiley on November 15, 1953, and together they raised their four children on the family farm in Broadbent, which was established in 1864.

Gloria was a hardworking wife of a farmer and a loving mother and grandmother. She shared with her children and grandchildren valuable life lessons that will be remembered for generations.

Gloria is survived by her sister, Bonnie Gibbs; children: Pauline Wiley, Jim Wiley, Irene Warner

June 20, 1946 – November 3, 2023

(Stan), and Eric Wiley (Rhonda). She was a loving grandmother to Melissa Honl (Tony), Misty Robbins, Kristina Leatherwood (Clint), Heather Lillie (Joshua), Katelyn Wiley, Abby Wiley (Timothy), Hayden Wiley (Eden), and Jordan Wiley (Clementina). Gloria was blessed with fifteen great grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.

Gloria was preceded in death by her husband of 59 years, James Paul Wiley on March 28, 2013. She was also preceded in death by her mother, Joyce Winningham; her sister, Beverly Meyer; and her daughter-in-law, Colleen Wiley.

In honoring Gloria’s wishes, no public services will be held. A private burial will take place at the Warner

Cemetery on the family farm.

Gloria's family would like to express their gratitude to the Myrtle Point Care Center for the exceptional care they provided to Gloria during her time living there. The caregivers became like family to her, and she enjoyed and appreciated them all very much. The family would also like to extend their thanks to the Myrtle Point Ambulance crew for their prompt and compassionate assistance whenever it was needed.

A celebration of life will be held for Jan Hooper at 10 am, Saturday, November 18, 2023 at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 400 Highland Avenue in Coos Bay with Reverend Patti Hale officiating.

Jan was born June 20, 1946 in the suburbs of Glasgow, Scotland and passed away, peacefully holding her husband’s hand on November 3, 2023 in Portland, Oregon.

At the age of 3 years old she and her parents immigrated to the suburbs of Toronto, Canada where she spent her early childhood. When she was ten years old her family immigrated to the suburbs of Los Angeles, ending up in the small community of El Monte, California.

She graduated from El Monte Union High School in 1963, where she met her future husband. In 1967 she graduated from California State University of Los Angeles with a degree in history.

In 1968 she married her high school sweetheart, Steve Hooper. Shortly after the wedding she jumped on a plane by herself and flew to the Philippines to be with her new husband who was in the U.S. Navy at the time. She spent the first year and a half of her marriage living in a foreign country. While in Subic Bay she was a civilian employee working as administrative assistant to the Commander of the Navy Ship Repair Facility in Subic Bay. After returning to the United States in 1970 she continued her education and completed her MBA at Cal Poly University, in Pomona, California.

After graduation she

took a keen interest in the rapidly evolving data processing industry and took evening classes at the local community college. She then became self-employed and worked as a contract programmer and wrote computer software for various companies.

One notable project found her writing software programs for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) in Southern California.

She was proud of the fact that no nuclear reactors failed because of her programs. She eventually began teaching computer programming at the local community college.

In 1988 she and her husband moved to North Bend, Oregon to accept teaching positions at SWOCC. She continued her teaching career for the next nine years. In 1997 her husband accepted a teaching job in Beijing, China and Jan jumped at the chance to hit the road and travel to new places. She lived with her husband in Beijing and they traveled throughout mainland China as well as trips to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, back to the Philippines and also to Guam and Australia. In 1998, she and Steve returned to North Bend and then began a trip around the United States, traveling to approximately 25 states in ten months on the road. Jan was a traveler and also accepted the challenge of volunteering for many organizations in recent years. In 2005, she was appointed by the Governor to serve on the Oregon State Ethics Commission, a position she held for five

years. During this time frame she was a CASA in Coos County for ten years and a member of the Oregon Coast Music Association and served as president for three years. She also served on the board of directors for the Coos History Museum. In her spare time, she took up painting with watercolors and many friends have enjoyed her art. She went on to work with the Friends of the North Bend Library and also volunteered time with the Friends of Coos County Public Health. Throughout her life she continued to travel to most of Europe, the British Isles and Greece and Turkey.

In 2015 Jan was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis that she fought for the rest of her life. Severe lung problems and heart disease contributed to her recent death.

Jan is survived by her husband, Steve Hooper of North Bend; a sister, Heather of Laverne, CA; a brother, Paul and wife, Judy of Lake Oswego, OR; and a sister, Christen and husband, Gary of Yreka, CA; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Jan would want to be remembered as a world traveler and eager for new challenges and willing to help whenever she could. She will be sorely missed.

Lynn Hodges October 24, 1943 – May 29, 2023

Lynn Hodges was born October 24, 1943 in Sault St. Marie, Michigan, to Leonard and Vera Hodges. He sadly passed away May 29, 2023 in Reedsport, Oregon. He was 79 years old.

Lynn grew up in Sault St. Marie, Michigan an sailed the Great Lakes as a Merchant Marine until he was 18 years old and moved out west to Seattle, Washington, where he was the owner of a mechanic, tire shop. When he sold it, he moved to Reedsport, Oregon and worked on a fishing boat before he got his job at the mill in Gardiner. When the mill finally shut down, he worked for Grice Transportation and was the mechanic for the school buses until he finally retired.

Lynn married the love of his life, Sandra in 1997 in Reedsport, Oregon.

If you knew Lynn, you would always see him driving his classic

56 Ford Victoria, which he absolutely loved.

He was always looking for a good time with family and friends, to go dancing and cruising around, hoping to find a little action about town.

Lynn was always looking to lend a helping hand during hunting season and just about anything if anybody needed it.

He was a great mentor and always had the best advice, definitely old school. When it came to hockey, now he was a Red Wing fan at heart, for sure!! He loved hanging out with his daughter, Cindy and playing pool any chance they had. (It was always a tie).

He loved his family very much. Lynn left behind his wife, Sandra Hodges; daughter, Cindy Fletcher and sonin-law, Bryan Fletcher.

He had 2 stepsons, Rick and Rob Drushella; grandchildren, Brittany Goll, Logan Hodges and Myles Fletcher, Hunter and Ricky Drushella; great grandchildren, Piper Goll, Emerson and Emmett Fletcher, and Beau Drushella.

Lynn had his last party in September, but this legend will live on in his daughter’s eyes, known as her HERO. Preceded in his death was his mother and father; and his son, Jeff Hodges.

In the early years of her life, Mary Jane enjoyed spending time and learning from her older sister, Ethel.

As a young adult, Mary Jane met the love of her life, William “Bill” Rush. After marrying in 1962, they began to travel and explore the world, while beginning their teaching journeys. Mary Jane taught in Portland for her first year, and then completed a year in Yuma, Arizona, with the next two years in El Salvador, Chile. Their first born son, Chad, was born during their time in Chile. Soon after Chad’s birth, they

came home to be closer to family. A couple of years later, a second son, Todd, completed their family. Mary Jane was a fabulous cook and baker; she learned from trying new recipes. Many meals were celebrated with her delicious meals and desserts.

Mary Jane and Bill committed to lifelong teaching careers in the North Bend District, retiring in 1994. Mary Jane loved to learn and was an amazing teacher. Many, many students have shared with her and her family that she was their favorite teacher. Mary Jane loved connecting with past students; knowing she made a difference meant the world to her.

After retiring, Mary Jane and Bill continued to travel with exploration to Europe and numerous camping trips across the country.

Mary Jane loved being

outdoors and camping with family and dear friends. Later in life she enjoyed reminiscing about their adventures.

Mary Jane enjoyed time with her family and friends. Picnics were one of the many ways she spent time with her granddaughters. They brought her immense joy. She always smiled so big and thoroughly loved life. She and Bill were happily married for 61 years.

Mary Jane is survived by her husband, Bill; sons, Todd, and Chad and wife, Tiffany; grandchildren, Aubrie Jane and Jessica and her husband, Shane; and two great grandchildren, Izabel and Emma; along with many relatives and close friends, such as Lois Forrester. A special thank you to Anna Carder for providing such good care in the last several months of her life.

Mary Jane was

preceded in death by her parents, Rolland and Jeanette; and her sister, Ethel Rogers.

No services are planned at this time.

Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals. com. Donations may be made in Mary Jane’s honor to the North Bend Schools Foundation, www. nbschoolfoundation. org/donate/.

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

CREATE Center grateful for haunted house support

Weekender

Contributed photos

More than 30 teens and adults worked together to make a haunted house at the CREATE Center in Coquille.

The CREATE Center thanks the enthusiastic community for coming to experience our Haunted House and compliment us afterwards. Over 30 teens and adults had been working hard for over four months to bring you Halloween scenes that were artistic and required acting to bring them to life and also to provide a few wellplaced scares.

The CREATE Center would also like to thank Coos County Cultural Coalition for the grant to

allow us to build a life sized flying saucer, aliens and alien egg pods for the main scene, Coquille Farr’s who was the main source of supplies that were discounted and donated, Coos Comfort Furniture and Appliance store who were invaluable for boxes, cardboard and styrofoam to build scenes, Coquille Rotary Club for co-sponsoring the event and Frazier's Bakery who made delicious but gross looking treats.

The CREATE Center also wants to thank all the volunteers who put together, created, cleaned, set up, acted, and now are

taking down this enormous community project: Iosha and Ayana Reed, Joe and Stephanie Law, Bodie Smith, Kaden, Eva Williams, Cristy and Jonathan and Harlan Morse Shayla Van Tassel, Dani Workman, Rochelle Tucker, Lee Van Pelt, Diane Williams, Thomas, Ryder, Petra, Niko, Abby, Zach, Kimberly, Ashton, Asher, Sierra Lauren, Kat, Kira, Kolbrynn, Johnny, Cassie, Jenna, Harper, Bristol, Charissa, Emilee, Paiton, Delainey, Aurora, Katie and so many more.

The Chamber Minute: Finishative

When I entered the work “initiative” into my computer, I got a definition. When I typed “finishative” into it, I’m told it isn’t a word. But it should be. The two words are defined as follows, initiative: the first step, the act of setting a process in motion, the ability or willingness to take the lead. Finishative: the last step, the act of completing, the willingness to take a

project or mission to its logical conclusion in optimum time. Both of these are essential to character, to growth and success in an individual, and for successful community development. Too often, folks aimlessly wander through life and end up with a load of guilt and regrets because of the many things they wanted to do but never got around to start. Others wind up

with the same guilt and regrets because they had dreams, with some initiative, started many projects but never finished most of what they began.

This community can grow if our leaders will genuinely take the lead, exercise wisdom and initiative in getting work underway; if citizens involve themselves willingly to accomplish it and if all will focus on finishiative. While

there are many ways to promote your community, let me suggest you look at your Chamber.

Are you interested in economic development, education, government affairs, developing leaders, promoting local business or improving transportation to Oregon’s Bay Area?

Your Chamber has people, your friends and neighbors,

working on these and more. So grab the issue important to you and come on down and join us. In the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, we know that “Together we Create Opportunity” and are all willing to make a difference for our families on the southern Oregon coast.

Remember our business is helping your business. And like us on Facebook.

Guest Column Opinion:

Electric vehicle agenda is failing families

By Donna Jackson

InsideSources.com

Reality is starting to intrude on America’s electric vehicle fantasies.

After years of hype, it is becoming undeniable that most people don’t want them, and increasingly fewer can afford them. Millions of Americans will pay a price for this folly, most of all the low-income households that depend so much on the affordable gasoline-powered vehicles that have been the target of this agenda.

The higher sticker price of EVs — even with the tax credits — is not the only reason they don’t make sense for those of modest means. Perhaps the greater affordability issue stems from their limited range, long charging times and difficulty charging in urban environments where street parking is the norm compared to the relative ease and reliability of operating gasoline-powered vehicles.

EVs are not practical as a household’s sole vehicle, which is all many struggling families can afford. Indeed, upward of 90 percent of EVs sit in the driveways of multi-car households next to one or more gasoline-powered cars that are typically driven more miles. The EV agenda may be in fashion with those on the upper rungs of the economic ladder, where such virtue signaling is in vogue. Still, it is badly out of touch with the realities of those lower down.

Biden administration policies don’t just favor EVs; they also burden gasoline vehicles with costly regulations.

Past and proposed future regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are a big part of why sticker prices for new cars have skyrocketed.

The average new gasoline-powered vehicle goes for $48,000 — higher than the average Black household income of $46,400 annually — putting it out of reach for low-income and most middle-class households.

Used-car prices have risen in tandem.

The administration calculated that carrots for EVs alone won’t achieve their all-electric transition and that bigger and bigger sticks are needed to drive gasoline vehicles out of the market. And the poor, who already suffer financially because of energy poverty, are disproportionately paying the price.

Financing is also a growing challenge for car buyers with less than spotless credit. Auto loan default

rates are at a 30-year high, particularly on the high-interest subprime loans that many minority and low-income buyers have.

It’s a double whammy. The costs of this anti-car agenda fall on struggling households — the very people who need affordable vehicles the most.

For example, many urban poor live in neighborhoods far from the most economically vibrant parts of the city or the suburbs — where the most lucrative jobs often are. And public transportation can only take you to a fraction of the job opportunities that are available if you can drive door to door. It is even worse for those working two or three jobs to make ends meet. Dependence on public transportation also excludes low-income workers from the gig economy.

Beyond jobs, quality of life is greatly improved when low-income families have a car. Everything from being able to take kids to medical appointments or after-school activities to escaping food deserts by driving to supermarkets is all made possible with an affordable, reliable car.

Books could be written about how owning a car facilitates upward mobility and a better way of life for low-income individuals and families.

Ironically, these are the aspirations progressives used to support and still claim to support. Still, now they are willing to sacrifice them for the sake of the climate agenda, of which EVs are an integral part.

Rather than acknowledge the importance of affordable transportation to the least fortunate, the administration is doing its best to deny this reality. Worst of all is Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s recently assembled Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity, filled with academics and activists who decry cars as somehow racist — as if we are doing Black families a favor by making them prohibitively expensive.

This goes to show that their primary goal is to take away private car ownership from low-income families and trap them in their communities.

Rather than encouraging economic freedom for low-income families, this is only leading to government-imposed dependence and de-facto segregation.

HOLY COW! HISTORY: For the Custers, Little Bighorn Was A Family Affair J. Mark Powell

By J. Mark Powell

InsideSources.com

Americans were in shock in early July 1876.

It wasn’t supposed to have been that way. It was the country’s centennial, after all, a time for a national party.

Instead, stunning news came from the distant Black Hills in Montana Territory. George Armstrong Custer, dashing Civil War hero and flamboyant Indian fighter, plus all 267 of his men, had been wiped out in a ferocious battle with Native American braves.

It had been a remarkable ride for Custer up to then. He became the union’s youngest general at 23 and caught the public’s fancy through glowing newspaper accounts of his bravery, his long curly hair (which he scented with cinnamon oil), and even his wartime wedding to a beautiful bride.

But the post-war years hadn’t been kind. His commission as major general was a brevet promotion, valid only as long as the Civil War lasted. When the ink dried at Appomattox, the man many people still call “General Custer” dropped three slots to the rank he held the day he died: lieutenant colonel. He was twice court-martialed, and although he beat the rap both times, his shining star was tarnished.

To regain its former luster, Custer knew he needed a big win on the battlefield.

But this time, the once “Boy General” who had survived having 11 horses shot out from under him and was lionized for his celebrated “Custer Luck” pushed his luck too far.

His story ended at age 36 on the last Sunday in June 1876 with his incredibly bad decision to attack an Indian village without properly scouting it first. (He rode straight into one of the largest Native American war camps

Guest Column

ever assembled and was outnumbered 4 to 1.)

Yet, few people remember the Custer family lost much more than George that day.

His two younger brothers, a brother-in-law and a nephew all died with him. Eclipsed by George’s fame, their stories are worth recalling.

Like many high–ranking officers then, Custer surrounded himself with an adoring, devoted circle of relatives. Folks called them the Custer Clan. They served together, traveled together and partied together.

Their fortunes rose with George’s fortunes and declined with his. Come what may, they were in it together and would remain that way right up to the bitter end.

There was Tom, 31, the kid brother eager to win big brother’s approval. If George Armstrong (known in this intimate circle by the nickname “Autie,” his childhood mispronunciation of his middle name) hadn’t made the Custers famous, Tom would have. During the Civil War, he received the Medal of Honor not once but twice, becoming the first of only 16 men to ever gain that distinction.

At the Little Bighorn, some historians speculate Tom shot gravely wounded George to spare him from being tortured as a captive.

Tom’s body was found nearby, riddled with arrows.

There was Boston Custer, 27, George’s beloved youngest brother. Too young and physically weak to serve in the Civil War, “Bos” viewed his elder brothers with hero worship.

Eager to sip from the Custer cup of glory, he tagged along with the 7th Cavalry Regiment as a civilian contractor.

Assigned to a different detachment, when a message arrived at the battle’s outset urgently calling for ammunition, Bos dashed off to his brothers’ side, galloping

straight to his grave.

(Ironically, had he stayed where he was, he would have survived.)

First Lt. James Calhoun, 30, was the Custers’ brother-in-law.

“Jimmi” was a charter member of the Custer Clan, as was his own brother-in-law Miles Moylan, who was also in a different part of the Battle of Little Bighorn and survived, receiving the Medal of Honor himself the next year.

Finally, Henry “Autie” Reed, 18, was Custer’s favorite nephew. His mother gave him his uncle’s nickname, and there was a close bond between the two. Autie had been hired by the 7th Cavalry as a civilian beef herder. Volunteering his services for the Black Hills Expedition, his uncles accepted.

When the battle began, Autie’s boss told him to stay behind with the supply wagons where he belonged. Autie simply grinned and shouted, “You’re just mad because you can’t go!” as he rode off into history.

When the smoke had cleared, five family members lay dead, the Custer Clan forever vanished. Admired by some and loathed by others, their legacy endures to this day. They teach us a fundamentally American lesson: If you must lose, go down with everyone fighting to the last bullet.

They were in life, and remain in death, the very embodiment of Shakespeare’s famous words in Henry V: “From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be rememberedWe few, we happy few, we band of brothers …”

A Word, Please: Awhile or a while?

By June Casagrande

I’m often astounded by the way people use “awhile” and “a while.” And, no, I’m not shocked by how badly they choose between these terms, but by how well.

To understand when “a while” is preferable to “awhile,” you need a firm grasp on grammar concepts most of us are never taught: the true nature of adverbs, how adverbs differ from adverbials and how prepositions work with objects. Yet people who never learned those concepts often get “a while” and “awhile" right anyway.

For example, when I do a Google search for “Let’s just wait for a while,” which is correct, I get about 470,000

hits. But when I search for “Let’s just wait for awhile,” which is wrong, I get fewer than 16,000 hits.

Here’s what most English speakers don’t know they know about “a while” and “awhile.”

For starters, we’re talking about different parts of speech. “A while” is a noun. Well, technically it’s a noun phrase because it has more than one word.

But that’s splitting hairs.

A noun phrase works just like a noun.

“Awhile” is an adverb.

Contrary to what your third-grade teacher may have led you to believe, adverbs aren’t just those ly words that describe actions. Instead, an adverb answers the question “when?” “where?” or “in what manner?” Plus, sentence

adverbs like “therefore” and “however” modify whole clauses or sentences. So if you look up “tomorrow” in a dictionary, you’ll see that it’s both a noun and an adverb. That makes sense because it answers the question “when?”

Another example: “There” is also an adverb because it answers the question "where?"

Sometimes, these rules for adverbs are a less intuitive, which is why it’s not completely clear that “awhile” answers the question “when?”

But it deals with time the same way, so it’s an adverb.

“For,” is a preposition. Prepositions take objects, which are always either nouns, pronouns or whole phrases or clauses working as nouns. So when you buy

a gift “for Walter,” the noun “Walter” is the object of the preposition. If you’d rather say you’re buying a gift “for him,” the pronoun “him” is the object of the preposition.

Adverbs can’t be objects of prepositions. You can’t say “for quickly” or “at happily” or “with slowly.” And because “awhile” is an adverb, you can’t say “for awhile.” Only the noun form can go there: for a while.

You might guess that, if “awhile” can’t be used as a noun, then “a while” can’t be used as an adverb. So you’d surmise that “stay awhile” is correct and “stay a while” is wrong. Not so.

The reason: adverbials.

An adverbial is any part of speech that does the job of an adverb.

That includes nouns. For example, according to dictionaries, “Tuesday” is a noun. But notice how you can use it the same way you use the adverb “tomorrow.”

“He arrives Tuesday” works just as well as “He arrives tomorrow.”

So why isn’t “Tuesday” considered an adverb?

Because dictionary-makers have specific methods for categorizing words, which are based on frequency of usage.

And “Tuesday,” apparently, doesn’t get used as an adverb as often as “tomorrow,” perhaps because people often say “on Tuesday” instead of just “Tuesday,” making it the object of the preposition “on” and thus a noun.

“On Tuesday” answers the question “when?” so it’s a multi-

word phrase doing the job of an adverb. That makes it an adverbial.

The same is true for “a while.” When it’s used like an adverb, it’s an adverbial. That’s why “a while” can work as an adverb even though “awhile” can’t work as a noun.

It’s usually best to use “awhile” whenever you need an adverb: Stay awhile. It’s not wrong to use “a while” as an adverb, too: Stay a while. But after “for” or any other preposition, you need the two-word version: Stay for a while.

The first photo I am sharing this week is the barracks, built by the WPA on Division in east Bandon, soon after the fire of 1936 to shelter people left homeless.

The caption reads: "The above picture shows the long combination dwelling units, built on city property near the high school (tall building in background) by the federal Works Progress Administration, all of which have been occupied since completion and have proved invaluable in affording temporary quarters during the past few months. The entire project has been turned over to the City of Bandon, whose officials are carrying out the original housing relief plan as intended by the federal authorities."

In the background you can see the gymnasium, next to the high school. Both buildings survived the fire, and the gym was used to house the elementary school students, after the grade school (in west Bandon where Ocean Crest now sits) burned. The new grade school opened in 1939.

The second photo is "The Little Brown Box," which the late Careen Pierce wrote about in the Randolph Community Club booklet, published in 2001, highlighting 75 years of the club.

"There was a little brown box that traveled up and down the Coquille Valley and across the River. It was hand-crafted by a gentle white-haired man, Daddy Lennon. The first time I saw the contents of the box I was amazed at all those pieces of silverware, enamel cups and plates. I'd never seen an enamel plate before because we used Fiesta at home. The service was used for Randolph Club meals.

After every meal the ladies washed and dried the utensils and plates and packed them gently in the box for the next trip. I could hardly wait for it to arrive at my house, but when it was time for my family to host the meeting I was always at school. After I was married, my husband (Don) and I moved to Bandon -- and it was suddenly my turn for the brown box to come to my house!"

Careen taught school here for many years, and her husband was the city's public works director. Their daughter Tauna Ree was in Bandon recently, celebrating her

The third picture is of Bayard "Bay" Forrest, who was recently inducted into the Small College Hall of Fame. The 6-9 Forrest, who graduated from Bandon High School in 1972, played for Grand Canyon College of Phoenix, the alma mater of his father, Nelson Forrest, prior to playing for the Phoenix Suns. During his years at BHS, he was coached by the late Butch Neff.

Bayard is married to the former Peggy Ward, and the couple is very involved in the Christian ministry.

--------------------------Lori Osborne of Farm and Sea is beginning a new event, to be known as the Tuesday Social "Meet and Greet" which will feature a guest speaker weekly, beginning this Tuesday, Nov. 7, during the lunch hour.

I have been asked to be the first speaker, and Lori said I can talk for 15 to 30 minutes, beginning at 11:30 a.m., with the program of my choice. I will probably combine a bit of history with some of the big stories I covered during my 64 years in the news business.

So, if you want to know more about the history of Bandon or about me, other than what you may have already read in my column, you are invited to stop by at the Farm and Sea building on the waterfront. Lunch will also be available. Lori says it's like the guest speaker programs at Rotary Club, but without having to join an organization.

I will also be open to questions, but will not be able to talk about Gravel Point as I am pretty sure it will be called up by or appealed to the city council. It was approved by the planning commission Thursday night on a 4-2 vote, with Gordon Norman and Bill Frey voting in opposition. In favor were Sally Jurkowski, Don Starbuck, Catherine Scobby and Tom Orsi. The chairman Gerald "Bear" Slothower did not vote.

It should be a fun hour or two, especially if you happen to be new to Bandon.

--------------------------I have learned who died in the two-vehicle accident Thursday north of Bandon near Weiss Estates Road and Highway 101. I am not sure of the exact location as one poster said it was near the intersection of Seven Devils Road and

101.

The person who died was Carole Voliva, 77, who lives on Seven Devils Road. She was reportedly taking her two cats to the veterinarian, and as a result of the wreck which took her life, one of the two cats, Ruby, ran off and the other, Buster, suffered a broken pelvis.

The other vehicle was driven by a 17-yearold female, who was seriously injured and is hospitalized, according to the Bandon Police Department.

The Oregon State Police is handling the investigation.

--------------------------A spokesman for Holiday Meals has put out a press release about the full Thanksgiving meal, to be known as Old Town "FriendsGiving' Feast," featuring takeout and homebound delivery.

Raven Salt Water Grille, Alloro Wine Bar and Restaurant, and Bandon Brewing have collaborated with Holiday Meals to create a new free Thanksgiving meal this year. Take-out meals for Bandon residents must be reserved in advance by calling Colleen Wiesel at 916221-0318 no later than Wednesday, Nov. 15, by giving your full name, address, phone number and number of meals requested.

One hundred percent of any donation will benefit Bandon Community Youth Center.

Anyone wishing to lend their support can contact Sue Miller at 206-604-6136 or Danielle Benjamin at 541404-9474.

--------------------------I have learned that former Bandon resident Marilyn Noorda, 85, of Utah died Oct. 8 from injuries suffered in a fall.

She was visiting a friend in Salt Lake City. She took a wrong step on a stairway landing and tumbled down, hitting her head. Marilyn and her late husband Darwin were active with the Bandon Library and the local museum. Marilyn also served a term on the Southern Coos Hospital board of directors.

When she could no longer drive because of macular degeneration, she moved to Utah to be near family which included two sons.

Her sister, former Bandon city councilor Nancy Drew, who now lives in Utah, said that donations in Marilyn's name could be made to either the library or the museum.

I also learned that

the county, including Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point and Sumner, responded to a large fire at Ficher Dairy at Arago Saturday to help put out a fire that destroyed the old milking parlor and saved the surrounding structures including the new milking parlor.

A video of the blaze, filmed by a neighbor Dana Mills, who urged onlookers to stay away from Arago to allow fire trucks to get to the dairy, showed that they were fortunate to save most of the dairy, without losing any cows from the herd. Joe Ficher is a major employer in the Arago valley. It appeared an old mast on one of the buildings may have arced, causing the blaze, but there had been no statement from the fire department at the time I was writing my column.

Neighbors from across the Arago valley joined to assist with saving the herd, while Watermans provided additional water and all rallied around Joe Ficher, who was in California celebrating his 65th birthday, on the day of the fire.

"That's what neighbors do in a small community like ours," said Mills as he filmed the explosion of two propane tanks and burning power poles at the height of the blaze, all the while urging people to stay out of the firemen's way and doing what he could to help save the cows.

Left - After the Flood and Gift of the Pomegranate by Barbora Bakalarova. Right - Entertainment center by Steve La Riccia.

Exhibition reception at Bandon Library Art Gallery A reception will be held at 2 p.m., Nov. 18. In the Sprague Room at the Bandon Library to view photographs by Barbora Bakalarova and interactive steampunk contraptions by Steve La Riccia.

Over the last decade Bandon Library Art Gallery has become a uniquely interesting exhibition space in Bandon, and the current show is a convincing demonstration of that. Prague native photographer Barbora Bakalarova works in a variety of ways. She may simply make a carefully composed photograph with a model and then print it, or she may create in her studio scenarios that she then shoots and alters or edits in complex ways. Her images are mysterious and derive from myth and allegory, emotional and psychological states of being, as well as her own imaginative impulses. They are personal without being exclusive–the viewer has plenty of room to respond in her own way. Bakalarova marries rigorous composition to post production improvisation, resulting in images that are entirely unique.

Steve La Riccia has been making steampunk machines for years, but unlike other artists, his contraptions are fully operational. His dedication to making interactive works has led to the creation of Apple Mac computers accompanied by Antique typewriters as keyboards, and other oddities such as an original teletype transmitter key for a mouse. His home entertainment center can play a DVD on the 5” analog TV, via a collection of odds and ends to get the image from the DVD to the screen. On November 18th, La Riccia will demonstrate how these contraptions work.

The show runs through November 30 during regular library hours.

Dear Abby By

Abigail Van Buren

Dear Abby:

My best friend "Owen's" wife, "Shirley," is a narcissist, and she's driving everyone away from him. They have been married for 10 years. I've known Owen since high school. He has always been a quiet, easygoing guy. Shirley is a nightmare. She has berated him at work and has left him by himself on holidays, including birthdays. She orders him around, and she runs everything without hardly paying for anything. I am divorced and I've been through it.

I don't know how to tell Owen that there's a safety net for him. I know telling him his wife is a crazy narcissist and he should leave isn't the answer. She has berated me for "getting in their marriage." My friend is afraid he has no support if he leaves because Shirley has alienated him from all of his friends, and the only family he has are his parents and sister, who live many miles away. She has pushed me away from him as well. What can I say to Owen to make him understand that there are people here who are just waiting for him to ask for help without his feeling I am pressuring him?

— HAS HIS BACK IN FLORIDA

DEAR HAS HIS BACK:

There is more than one kind of partner abuse. Although most people associate the term with physical violence, another is emotional. It appears Owen is the victim of many years of emotional battery. Because he is scared, a group that might lend him emotional support is Stop Abuse for Everyone (stopabuseforeveryone.org). It's a nonprofit that provides services for domestic violence victims of all ages, genders and sexual orientations and helps those who typically fall between the cracks of domestic violence services. Please mention it to Owen and remind him that he may not be as isolated as he fears, because his friends are waiting to support him when he is ready.

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.

Dear Abby: My family doesn't know I have cancer in my kidneys, and I don't want to tell them. I feel that when the time comes, it comes, but my boyfriend keeps pushing me to tell them. I don't want anybody to be worried about me or my health.

I've been the black sheep of the family since I was a child. Nobody was there for me except my grandmother, but she's no longer living. I just feel my family doesn't need to know anything.

Am I being selfish about what I'm going through, wanting to keep my illness to myself and, when the time comes, let my boyfriend tell them what happened?

— BLACK SHEEP IN NEW YORK

DEAR BLACK SHEEP: I'm sorry about your diagnosis. You are not being selfish. If your family hasn't been there for you in the past, I understand your reluctance to court further rejection. While it might be nice to give them an opportunity to atone for their past behavior, there are no guarantees they will. Your health status is YOUR business and no one else's, so don't allow your boyfriend (as well-meaning as he may be) to push you into anything you don't want at this point.

Due to unforseen circumstance Hagar is unavailable this week. Enjoy a bonus edition of Dear Abby!

Dear Abby By

Abigail Van Buren

Dear Abby: My son, age 31, dated a woman for a month. On a couple of occasions, she got drunk and became very nasty. He decided to end the relationship and did it in person. Unfortunately, during their short time together, he divulged some personal issues he's working on. She contacted him a few weeks after they broke up. When he didn't respond, she contacted him again and threatened to make his personal issues public. What do you do in this situation?

— CAUTIOUS MOM IN NEW JERSEY

DEAR MOM: The healthiest thing for your son to do would be to continue ignoring the woman. There is nothing positive to be gained by allowing himself to be sucked into a contentious relationship with someone who may be unstable. The alternative would be to have his attorney write her a letter explaining that should she post anything on social media that could damage his reputation (and job, business, etc.), she might be liable for damages, legal fees and court costs.

Oregon seeking next poet laureate The Oregon Poet Laureate Program is now accepting nominations for the state’s next poet laureate. The program is funded by the Oregon Cultural Trust and administered by Oregon Humanities.

Over the course of a two-year-term, the Oregon Poet Laureate fosters the art of poetry, encourages literacy and learning, addresses central issues relating to the humanities and heritage and reflects on public life in Oregon. Nominations for the position will be accepted through Jan. 8, 2024. Poets may nominate themselves.

The next poet laureate will begin their term in May 2024.

Anis Mojgani, Oregon’s current poet laureate, says, “A poet is a witness who imagines, and through these acts gives us permission to do the same. For the times we’re in, we must be powerfully imaginative, so to have for Oregon a position to foster and rally this imagining is a beautiful importance and gift for our state.”

Previous Oregon Poets Laureate include Elizabeth Woody of Warm Springs, Kim

Stafford of Portland, the late Peter Sears of Corvallis and Lawson Inada of Medford.

During their term, the poet laureate will participate in a minimum of 10 public readings or other events per year in settings around the state, demonstrating the value and importance of poetry and creative expression to business, community and state leaders. The poet laureate receives an annual honorarium in addition to an annual travel subsidy.

Nominees must be current residents of Oregon and have lived in the state for at least 10 years. They must be publicly recognized as poets and wellregarded for excellence in their work; have a significant body of published or performed work; and agree to the conditions and the term of the appointment.

To nominate a poet, fill out the online nomination form at oregonpoetlaureate. org. Poets of all genres and styles will be considered.

The Poet Laureate Program is funded by the Cultural Trust through collaboration with

the state’s five cultural partners: Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Heritage Commission, Oregon Historical Society, Oregon Humanities and the State Historic Preservation Office.

Nominations will be reviewed by a committee who will recommend finalists to the Governor for final selection of the next poet laureate.

The Cultural Trust is an innovative, statewide private-public program that utilizes a unique tax credit to raise significant funds to support and protect Oregon’s arts, humanities and heritage. In addition to the creation of a permanent endowment, funds are distributed annually through three multifaceted, wideranging grant programs.

No other state in the nation has a program like the Cultural Trust, which has been ranked with the bottle bill and the vote-by-mail bill as among Oregon’s most forward-thinking public policy measures.

too complex to solve in a single conversation, simply having the conversation is the beginning of a change and shift.

“Even though it might feel small, it's actually a really powerful thing to do – to gather together

and to talk about these things and to hear from each other,” she said. “There's a lot of humanity in it.”

Dam removals, restoration project on Klamath River expected to help salmon, researchers conclude

“The dam removals will likely go a long way towards restoring balance in the river,” said Sascha Hallett, a fish parasitologist at Oregon State University

who has studied the river for two decades.

“Certainly under certain circumstances there are going to be disease outbreaks, like with people and pathogens.

But we envision that they are not going to be as large and not going to be as frequent as we have observed in the past.”

Michael Belchik, a fisheries biologist with the Yurok Tribe in California and co-author of the paper, said he thinks there will be noticeable gains for fish shortly after the dams are removed.

“I think you are going to see fish accessing new habitat right away, and that is going to be a cause for celebration,” said Belchik, who has worked for the Tribe since 1995.

In the paper, published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Hallett and a team of researchers from Oregon State, Tribes in Oregon and California, and state and federal agencies outlined their predictions for salmon disease risk in the Klamath River

following the removal of four hydroelectric dams. They also provide post-dam removal research and monitoring recommendations and insights to aid habitat restoration efforts.

One of the four dams was removed earlier this year, and the other three are slated to be taken down in early 2024.

Removal of the dams will result in restoration of habitat originally altered more than 100 years ago with construction of the first dam.

The Klamath River runs more than 250 miles from Oregon's high desert interior through the Cascade Mountains before entering the Pacific Ocean in northern California. It has broad ecological, cultural, recreational and economic relevance.

The river was once the third largest salmonproducing river on the West Coast. Those salmon served as the foundation of life and culture for Tribes living along the river.
