Asked about the proposal for a pulp mill on the North Spit of Coos Bay, both potential candidates said there are still more questions to be answered before they could take definitive stands.

"We sure do need industrial development and the jobs," said Brown, "but you can't have industrialization at the expense of the environment or the people of the county." Schamehorn called for some sort of a countywide referendum on the pulp mill issue, saying that local officials should not go ahead "without some sort of a mandate." He was ordained on June 22, 1930 and entered fine arts school in Kaunas, Lithuania in 1932, studying there until 1936. In 1936, he was offered a scholarship to study art in Paris, but World War II intervened and he took a parish near the German border. During the war, Father Pius, his sister Albina, brothers John and Zigmas, and another pastor fled the Nazis, arriving at a displaced persons camp near Salzburg, Austria. In 1949, Father Pius came to New York, accepting an invitation to become an assistant at St. Engelbert's Parish, St.

Louis, Mo. A relative, and priest-professor, Pius Aleksa, invited Father Pius to Oregon while he was working with the Catholic chancery office in Portland. In 1951, he began service as chaplain for Sacred Heart Hospital, Eugene, where he worked for 20 years. In 1958, he became a naturalized citizen, and in 1971 was appointed chaplain of St. Catherine's Residence and Nursing Center in North Bend.

He retired in 1980, but remained active at the center and at Holy Redeemer parish, as well as continuing his painting. Father Pius is recognized for his paintings titled "Madonna," "Darius-Girenas" (murals in the Pa-jevonys church; "Lithuania Under the Red Star," "Baptism of the Lithuanian King Mindaugas" (a triptych), "Stations of the Cross," and "Saint Casimir," as well as of four new churches in Oregon, at McKen-zie Bridge, North Bend, Brookings and Port Orford. He has had exhibitions in Glasenbach-Salzburg, Austria, St. Louis, Chicago, and throughout the Northwest, as well as at Marijam-pole, Lithuania. A history of his work has been written by Father Michael Ricciardelli in the "Catholic Sentinel," Portland, and by Paulette Beall, curator of the University of Oregon Museum of Art, in "Lithuanian Days," published in Los Angeles; by Estanislao Gostautas in "Antologia biografica Del Arte Lithuano," in Medellin, Columbia and by Algimantas Kezyr, S.J., in Lietuvis Dailininkas Jseivijoje, published in Chicago.

Father Pius was listed in Who's Who in Art in 1988 and held several honorary degrees and titles. Father Pius is survived by a brother, Zigmas Brazauskas, Portage Prairie, Manitoba, Canada; three sisters, Antose Brazauskas and Elena Steponaviciene, both in Lithuania; and Albina Razrria, of Winnepeg, Canada; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Memorial contributions may be made in his name to the Mercy Aging Services and Help facility, 2260 Broadway North Bend; St. Catherine's Residence and Nursing Center, 3959 Sheridan North Bend or to the charity of the donor's choice. Two independent voters announced their intent Friday to seek election to the Coos County Board of Commissioners next November.

Irv Brown of Coos Bay and Mary Schamehorn of Bandon both said they would launch petition drives to win places on the November ballot for the position now held by Jack Beebe. Independent candidates must gather 1,200 signatures before Aug. 31 to appear on the November ballot. Democrats and Republicans interested in the position must file for their May primary elections by Tuesday. Beebe has filed for re-election to a fourth term.

No one else had filed for the post by Friday afternoon. Schamehorn, who lost the Democratic primary for the same seat by 21 votes four years ago, said Friday "I have long believed that county politics should be nonpartisan, much like municipal government, where candidates run on their record of service to their community and to their county, and not on a party platform." Four years ago, Schamehorn said, her own mother (a Republican) couldn't vote for her. She said this time some Democrats have told her they would not vote for her over a Democratic incumbent. Brown told The World Friday, "I've always been registered as an independent and really didn't want to make a commitment" to a party for the county commission race. A GTE service supervisor and former chief engineer for KCBY television, Brown, 60, has lived in the area for about 30 years.

He is a part-time commercial pilot, and 'a part-time guitarist. On top of Brown's agenda for the county commission is continuing to fight against state land use restrictions. "I really don't think that land use planning is appropriate," Brown said. "Restrictions against people building on their own lands bothers me." Long active on the Bandon City Council and planning commission, former editor of the Bandon Western World and now a freelance writer and photographer working for the Myrtle Point Herald, Schamehorn, 50, said she wants "to use some of my experience to help the county." Economic improvement, she said, is "a prime concern. Asked about the-upcoming serial levy proposal for county law enforcement, Brown- said '-he supports the levy while Schamehorn said she thinks each voter will have to make their own choice.

"I believe we need that, I believe we need it bad," Brown said. "If it takes an increase in taxes to get it, that would be appropriate." Schamehorn, while describing herself as a longtime supporter of law enforcement, said she also knows many areas of the county have very high property tax rates. "I think we need the extra funds," she said. "I wish there was some other way to get it. I think each person will have to make their own choice, if they can afford that extra ED BENNETT PLUMBING Contractor, Remodeling All Repairs, Drains Licensed Bonded Reg.

63776 572-5089 or 572-2299 DeFazio will run again SPRINGFIELD (AP) -Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio returned to his home town Friday to announce he would seek a third term in Congress. "We began a long journey three years ago an effort to redirect the nation's priorities towards it people and its future, to cut wasteful and needless military spending, and to get the federal budget deficit under control," DeFazio said in a speech to the Lane County Labor Forum. The 42-year-old DeFazio, who represents the 4th Congressional district, promised he would work to protect. Social Security trust funds from raids by the federal Treasury and to develop a national health care system if re-elected.

He also said he would pursue fair trade agreements and fight to prevent log exports from the Pacific Northwest. Formerly a Lane County Commissioner, DeFazio serves on the House Public Works and the Interior and Insular Affairs Committees and is a member of the Water and Power Resources and Parks and Public Lands subcommittees.

The sponsor for the group is Judy S5 using drugs BOSTON (AP) In a remarkable mass mea culpa, Massachusetts politicians are lining up to confess their past dalliance with marijuana, an urge to repent that began when the attorney general fessed up to using the demon weed. State Attorney General James Shannon, 37, went, to the "confessional" first during a mid-week television interview, where he was being queried about his tough stance on casual drug users. Within 24 hours, more politicians lined up at the booth. Allegations of drug use may have locked federal appeals Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg out of a U.S.

Supreme Court seat, but in Massachusetts the new political wisdom seems to dictate that there is safety in numbers. On Friday, the Boston Herald, under the Page One headline "Pols who have gone to pot," lined up thumbnail photos of some who acknowledged dabbling in marijuana use. The politicians made their admissions when asked by the newspaper. The growing list includes six Democrats U.S. Sen.

John Kerry, U.S. Reps. Joseph Kennedy and Richard Neal; Lt. Gov. Evelyn Murphy, who is a candidate for governor; state Auditor Joseph DeNucci; and state Sen.

William Golden, who is running for lieutenant governor. There are two Republicans, both running for lieutenant governor Paul Cellucci and state Rep. Peter Torkildsen. The admissions all sound a similar theme. They contain references to youthful indiscretion, lessons learned and reason that comes with age.

Most of those coming forward point out that they grew up in an era when drug experimentation was as common as doing the twist and wearing Beatle haircuts. Bandon language class satellite (Continued from Page 1) A total of 54 schools are hooked up to the same Spanish class so eight classes each day are assigned a time to call in. Thus the Bandon class may call in a minimum of two times per month, according to class facilitator Kathy Miller. Sometimes the teacher also opens up the line for free calls from anyone. "They also get two hours in the afternoon that they can call in for tutoring," Miller said.

She added that part of the student grade is based on participation and all of the students have to call in to the teacher a certain number of times. "I think it works really well for the kids." Howell said all the students in the classes are getting at least a average. "I am very pleased with how the students are doing," Howell said, adding that self-motivation is important for success in this type of class. One problem with the program is that because of the three hour time difference, many classes come on the air too early for Bandon to offer, Howell said. While the students in the class say they think the program is good, they would rather have a teacher.

"It is a lot easier to learn from a teacher," said freshman Joy Rager. "They drill it in much more."

Father Pius was born Nov. 28, 1905 in Bartininkai-Pilviskiai, Lithuania and died Thursday, March 1, 1990 in North Bend. Father Pius combined his work as a priest with a lifelong devotion to painting, largely of Christian and church images. His works have been shown throughout the world and are in many public and private collections. He was the son of Pius Brazauskas and Catherine Dicpinigaityte-Brazauskas, a farming family in Lithuania.

He is the seventh child among eight brothers and six sisters. Both parents came from large families in which there were 18 priests and Bishop Joseph Oleka. In 1923, Father Pius entered seminary for the priesthood and he received one of the minor orders from Archbishop of Vilnius George Matulaitis, now pronounced by Rome to be a Servant of God and in the process of being recognized as the second saint of Lithuania.
