It was Oct. 5, 1967, and students were spilling out the doors of the biggest room in the University of Oregon’s Erb Memorial Union. At the front of the room, a man stood with a cigarette in one hand, Ray-Bans on, a shock of white-blonde hair. The students had come to see Andy Warhol talk about his underground films. Warhol was booked for a tour of Western colleges, including the University of Utah, Montana State, Linfield College in McMinnville and the U of O. But they didn’t get Andy.

The man at the front of the packed ballroom at the U of O was actually one of their own — a University of Oregon actor named Allen Midgette, one of Warhol’s cronies at his “Factory” art loft in New York. Warhol, at the time, had never left the Eternal City. Some students grumbled about it afterward – “Warhol,” they said, showed a boring “art film” and gave them answers that were either really, really deep or really, really stupid: “I don’t know how to say what my meaning is

I guess it means to me that I film it, mostly.” “That (why we make films) is one of the big questions. Let’s just say we do it to keep us off the streets.” “All kinds of things — it changes all the time.” (This last was in response to a student asking, “Sir, do you give a damn?” and about what.) The reception was less hostile at Linfield, where, according to Leland John, an art professor from Mt. Angel College who attended, “Warhol” responded to most questions by simply giggling. When “Warhol” left, rumors started to circulate. They originated at the University of Utah, where “Warhol” started his speaking tour.

A student journalist had sneaked a photo of him, shot from the waist with one of the twin-lens Rolleiflex cameras that were then the hottest news cameras around. Professors who had met the real Warhol and smelled a rat compared the pictures and concluded they were two different people. Rumors of this reached Don Bishoff, then a reporter for the Eugene Register- Guard. “We had an aging hippie working on our copy desk, named Bill Thomas,” Bishoff recalled later. “Somehow he had the number for the pay phone on the wall at The Factory. So I called the number and … Paul Morrissey answered it.” Morrissey, clearly taken by surprise, “hemmed and hawed” and the finally put Warhol on the line.

After some head-scratching about how Bishoff could know it was the real Warhol this time, the “Peter Pan of pop art” confessed. “He (Midgette) was better than I am,” Warhol told Bishoff. “He was what the people expected. They liked him better than they would have liked me ....”

“His explanation of how he sent the guy didn’t make sense,” recalled Bishoff. “I still think to this day he was pulling another Andy Warhol spoof — and proving a point that people wouldn’t know the difference.” (Sources: Eugene Register-Guard and Oregon Daily Emerald archives; personal recollections of Don Bishoff and Leland John) Finn J.

The workshop, titled “Marine Mammal Strandings: Objectives of Response,” will be led by Jim Rice, coordinator of the stranding network. It is designed to prepare volunteers for the stranding network (in which some CoastWatchers participate). However, the presentation will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about Oregon’s marine mammals, and what to do when encountering beached animals. Rice will discuss the value of the information that can be gained from strandings.

Jim Rice began his career as a marine mammal trainer at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, and later worked as an animal keeper at the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island, where he studied cognition in California sea lions and African elephants. He later served as a biologist with the New England Aquarium in Boston. He has been coordinator of the Marine Mammal Stranding Network, headquartered at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, since 2005. The workshop will be followed by the world premiere of a new slide talk, “Trash in the Ocean,” created by CoastWatcher Al Dohner of Bandon, a retired physician. Dohner researched and developed his original presentation, which includes “descriptions of marine debris, where it is found, and hazards to marine life.

Also included is information on toxins in and absorbed by plastics in the ocean with potential implications to humans.” CoastWatch is a project of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, through which volunteers adopt one-mile segments of shoreline and keep watch over a wide range Marine Mammal Stranding Network story of things, including beached marine mammals. The workshop also serves as a training for CoastWatchers seeking to sharpen their own skills as observers, as well as to assist the stranding network.

Information about CoastWatch will also be provided at the event.

The woman stayed and was subsequently taken into custody but the man who drove the stolen vehicle fled on foot. Officers from OSP, Coos County Sheriff’s Office, North Bend Police Department, and Coos Bay Police Department, including a canine unit, responded to the area. A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter was already airborne and responded to assist in the search. At approximately 10 a.m. OSP detectives and a Coos Bay police captain spotted the male subject in a shipyard about 1/2 mile from the original stop location.

After taking him into custody officers found a checkbook and binoculars he had stolen from the vehicle before fleeing. Thomas Pusztai, age 37 of North Bend, was lodged in the Coos County Jail and charged with Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, Parole Violation, Resisting Arrest, Criminal Mischief in the Second Degree, Theft in the Third degree and Misdemeanor Attempt to Elude on Foot.

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.”

Praise the Lord that when we repent and call upon Jesus, the worst of sins are forgiven, but even more than that, we become a new person and we cannot enjoy doing those things we once did. Your faith will produce fruit, if you truly repented and asked Christ to be your Saviour. Here He gives us a list of some of the sins that keep man from heaven. Fornication is in front. It is amazing how many people shack up together today and don’t even have shame enough to know that it is wrong in God’s eyes. God did create intimacy, but within the bounds of marriage. Idolaters are next.

How many pray to pictures, or statues, or wear good luck charms, hanging angels up to protect their homes, lucky numbers, rabbit feet, horse shoes, etc. Adulterers - those unfaithful in the marriage relationship. If God has blessed you with a wife, be faithful to her. You are wrong to view pornography, or lust after anyone else. Ladies are not excluded with their idolizing movie stars, or comparing their husband to some other man. Effeminate and abusers of themselves with mankind both deal with homosexuality. In the Old Testament. He calls them sodomites and it is an abomination to Him.

Thieves, of which we are having more and more as finances get tighter, there is self respect in working for what you get, and have you considered the person you stole from? Covetous - we should be some of the most thankful people as God has so blessed this country and we are to be content, not complaining. Drunkards - Revilers - and Extortioners. Notice He says, “Such were some of you: . . .” Christ came to save sinners, not only to give them a home in heaven but a better life here as well. This is not an all inclusive list of sin, but a sample. We are all sinners in need of a Saviour. God became a man to die for us, then rose again and gave us this promise found in Romans 10:13, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Proverbs 29:1 warns, “He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.” We would like to invite you to come worship with us this Sunday.

Dean St., Coquille 396-5613]]> no@spam.com (Bruce Perkins) http://www.oregonbeacon.com/CoquilleSentinel/articles/820/1/A-Meditation-On-Proverbs-2329-31/Page1.html http://www.oregonbeacon.com/CoquilleSentinel/articles/819/1/The-Compromising-Church--And-this-is-the-church-todaycompromise/Page1.html
The compromise of the Gospel. “How?”, you say! With God’s Word, the Bible, the authority of His revelation to His creation especially to and for the human race created in His image. Its absoluteness, its truth in history, science, morality, its life, its purpose...... compromised, played with, manipulated and even scorned. Jesus said in John 17, “Thy Word is truth”.

Is Jesus lying? How shall the Christian live? (I Tim. 3:1-15) The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to a young Pastor named Timothy telling him the needed qualities of church leadership, and how one ought to conduct or live oneself in the household of God. Since Jesus Christ is the head of the church (Col. 1:18) and has given His church the blueprint on how to function, worship, live and what He desires, why then does the church today think it can function apart from God’s Word? The church by and large has forgotten Elder/Pastors, Deacon servant leadership and has replaced Jesus Christ and His leadership with church boards.

Hire and fire the Pastor/Elder! This is compromise! Is it any wonder that the church today has no real impact of the Gospel to society! When the church acts like the godless world, the fruit is evident. The church now holds to secular business practices. Is this not compromise? Yes! By the way in Rev. 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock: If anyone hears My voice and opens the door,

I will enter to him, and I will dine with him, and he with Me.” This is not a verse to share with the unsaved or unregenerate. In the context Jesus Himself is talking to the church of Laodicea, a bad, lukewarm, materialistic church that Jesus was seeking entrance in to for the purpose of renewed fellowship. Jesus wanted to see their error and get this church back to truth and the Gospel. You see, this church was in need of nothing - self-sufficient and therefore compromising. Is this you, dear Christian? Compromising? Where are the men leaders of your churches? Is God’s Word authoritative in your life or have you come up with your own theologies of how a church should function, live or even worship? What about your homes, families, marriages?

Are these grounded upon the authority of God’s Word, or on the new fads of godless, scientific, educational institutions of man? The Apostle Paul warns Timothy (II Tim 4:3-4) that the condition of the church will be this, “For a time will be when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own lusts, they will heap up to themselves teachers tickling the ear; and they will turn away the ear from the truth and will be turned aside to myths. Welcome to the modern day church!
