Tuesday is the last day to return ballots in the May special district election. Just under 17% of Coos Coun- ty’s 47,500 registered voters had returned their ballots for this week’s election as of Thursday, according to the Coos County clerk’s office. That’s about 2,600 ballots behind where ballot return was at the same point during the 2017 special district election (not to mention 21,000 ballots behind the same point in the recent general election, which set turnout records with a hotly contested presidential race.) Voters have just a few days left to return their ballots for votes for school boards, health district boards and tax measures to be counted. Ballots must be returned by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, May 18. They can be returned to any drop box in the state or mailed at no cost — though postmarks do not count for meeting the deadline by mail. Anyone who hasn’t yet received a ballot should call the clerk’s office at 541-396-7610.

Bottom left, Sharpe had many friends greet her during the celebration. Bottom right, because COVID limited visitors, a drive-by parade was held for Sharpe. To explain, she told a story about Sharpe interviewing a year ago to get into Inland Pointe. When the nurse asked her where she was, a normal question to determine someone’s cognitive ability, Sharpe was quiet for a lot time. She finally looked up, and said, “Well, I don’t know. Where exactly is the dividing line between Coos Bay and North Bend.” Spencer said she talks to her aunt Bertha once a week and has done so for 10 years. As far as Sharpe’s secret to living so long, mostly living right and exercising regularly. “I don’t know that she has any secrets,” Spencer said. “She’s always been careful about what she eats. She really was active in the Dahlia Club. I think that’s one thing that kept her young all these years was raising her garden.” While Sharpe had a lot of greetings Wednesday, a few really stood out.

SPORTS TUESDAY, MAY 18, 2021 | theworldlink.com SWOCC wrestler finishes fourth at NJCAA nationals The World

SWOCC’s wrestling team spent most of the season only able to work on conditioning. The Lakers ended it with an All-American and a fifteenth-place team finish in the NJCAA national tournament. “I think we’re a little disappointed in the outcome,” SWOCC coach Adam Whitlatch said. “But everything considered, just going through what they went through was pretty hard. It was hard on everybody. It was hard on the coaches and hard on the wrestlers.” For months after the school year started, Oregon’s COVID-19 standards didn’t allow the team to do any live wrestling, even in practice. “Most of the year, we weren’t allowed to touch each other,” Whitlatch said. “We found ways to do it. I don’t think we were out of shape. “Given all the circumstances, we figured out ways to overcome. We didn’t get to where we wanted to be, but overall, everyone put forth a pretty good effort.” SWOCC was only able to participate in two events before the national meet. The first came at North Idaho College and they were only able to wrestle against each other the first time the night before. John Gunther, The World Marshfield’s Landon Croff fires a pitch to a Marist Catholic batter during Friday’s doubleheader in Coos Bay. “That was the first time we had practice, other than hands-on stuff,” Whitlatch said.
