Fabrizio, Brecke to also take o ce in January

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

It is now official. In just a matter of weeks, Rod Taylor will be seated as the Position 3 commissioner for Coos County.

In the certified final results released by the Coos County clerk’s office, Taylor edged Melissa Cribbins by 150 votes to win the seat. Taylor received 14,616 votes, or 50.17%, while Cribbins received 14,446 votes, or 49.59%.

Cribbins, who has served 10 years at the Position 3 commission, will end her term December 31, and Taylor will take the seat during the new year.

In a Facebook post, Cribbins acknowledged the results and shared some accomplishments she was proud of during her time in office.

“I was first elected to the Coos County Commission in 2012 and took office in January of 2013,” Cribbins wrote. “It has been my honor to represent all of the citizens of Coos County for the last ten years. As I look back on my time in office, there have been some accomplishments that I am especially

proud of::"

1. Increased county general fund revenues and decreased debt,

2. Closed the North Bend Annex and consolidated County operations in Coquille, saving taxpayers at least $50,000 per year,

3. Built 36 miles of mountain biking trails in the County forest using only competitive grant funding, and secured funds to improve the motorized trails,

4. Built a new public health and mental health building at no additional costs to taxpayers,

5. With the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend, secured $1,000,000 to address the homeless

crisis in our area, 6. Testified in front of a congressional committee in Washington D.C. about the effects of environmental regulations on rural communities, 7. Took Coos County off the bankruptcy watch list and stabilized the county budget, 8. Testified on bills that would negatively impact Coos County in Salem, both as a County Commissioner and as the President of the Association of Oregon Counties, 9. Secured state and federal funding to work on the housing crisis and worked with the Association of Oregon Counties for legislation that

will help struggling Oregon families with the difficulty in finding affordable, safe housing, and 10. Served on many boards, committees, and task forces, both locally, statewide, and nationally, to try to ensure that the voice of our Coos County citizens was heard in the places where decisions are made.

When Taylor takes office, he will be one of three newly elected officials assuming the top spot in county government.

Julie Brecke, who received more than 50% of the vote in a three-person primary in May, will be seated

plastic that closely mirrored ice without the freezing cold.

Not surprisingly, most of those who joined in seemed to have little or no experience on ice skates, which led many falling and climbing back up and falling again. But there were no cries due to the falls, mostly just the sound of laughter as people made their way around the rink.

on the ice – or a synthetic

As the rink filled up, North Bend City Administrator David Milliron looked on, watching over the new operation in the city that will run through Valentine’s Day. The opening Saturday was announced only on social media, as the city chose to invite the community to get their staff trained up on operating

an ice rink.

“The reason for the soft opening like this is to figure out the logistics,” Milliron said. “We’ve been trying to figure out the kids’ sixes.”

While opening the rink is fairly easy, there are some steps the city staff had to run through before opening for real this week. That included sharpening skates, cleaning the rink, running the “Zamboni.” Since there had never been an ice rink in town before, no one had experience in those things.

“It’s all the small maintenance, which is why this is a soft opening,” Milliron said.

With the soft opening behind them and a little experience on their side, the ice rink will open from 4 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays through Friday and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays. There is no fee to enter, but ice rental is $5 an hour. Anyone with their own skates, can skate for free.

The ice rink was purchased by the city council using transient occupancy taxes, money paid when people visit local hotels and motels. By law, the tax can only be used to pay for items designed to increase tourism in the area. With tourism in the region already popular in the warmer months, North Bend was looking for something that would bring in guests over the winter. Milliron said the city council was also determined to find something that would

Circles in the Sand fundraiser ongoing

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The World

As Bandon beach-goers embark into a spiraling labyrinth they see the words, “Leave behind what is not needed,” etched into the sand.

These words set the tone for the meditative walk through the meandering labyrinth.

“It can give someone an intention to think about as they are walking,” said Bethe Patrick, a sand artist and labyrinth facilitator with Circles in the Sand. The intention of Circles in the Sand is to share love, joy and kindness by creating walkable art in the form of "dreamfield" labyrinths on the beach. When completed, the labyrinths are one continuous path with no dead ends or wrong turns.

Denny Dyke has been drawing circles in the sand in the Bandon area since 2010. It started mainly as a meditation, he said, and “to see if I could draw some of the patterns.”

In the early days, Dyke would go to Bandon beaches by himself or with a friend to create his labyrinths. His patterns would attract nearby beachgoers, some of whom, he said, regarded his work as “alien crop circles.”

Throughout the years, Dyke’s beach artistry has attracted larger and larger audiences.

He turned Circles in The Sand into a business in 2015 and now collaborates with a team of artists who work deftly to create a flowing maze of circles and meandering patterns throughout the

Editor’s Note:

An earlier report claiming Rod Taylor had won the election did not include the final vote count. Although the county clerk’s o ce released a report called the “final” count, there was additional time given for voters who had their ballots rejected to “cure” their ballots. This report is based on the certified final o cial totals report from the clerk’s o ce.

Laughter and smiles were the norm Saturday as people waited in long lines to try out North Bend’s new ice skating rink. After a successful soft opening, the rink will be open Wednesday through Saturday until Valentine’s Day.

beach at Face Rock View point.

People come from all over Oregon, the United States and the world to walk the labyrinths.

“We now have hundreds of people coming down to have a fantastic day because of what we do,” Dyke said.

Each draw has a specific theme which ranges from ocean to celestial to Zen. Sea turtles, jelly fish and other creatures can often be spotted

alongside the labyrinth, along with stars, circles and wave shapes etched into the ground with rakes and other tools.

The labyrinth design is drawn freehand working with the beach as a fresh canvas. The path for each “draw” un folds organically on the sand.

Circles in the Sand found er Dyke said all of the artists roles change constantly. But the artists never go into a draw with specific instruc tions.

“I can honestly say there has never been a set plan. And if we did try it once it didn’t work,” Dyke said. “It’s nice to go down with that freedom and whatever comes out is right.”

The Circle on The Sand artists also say the walkable art teaches humans about

impermanence. As magically as the sandy paths appear on the beaches – in just hours the tide comes in and washes it away.

The official season for Circles in The Sand begins in April and runs through August. There are 29 draws scheduled for 2023. Artists are out on the beach for up to four days in a row. The artists said they also occasionally do winter draws but said they don’t officially schedule them because of the unpre dictable weather.

From its’ inception, the Circles in the Sand public beach labyrinth walks have been free to people (and dogs) of all ages. The Circles in the Sand team also offers a dream stone to each per son who walks through the labyrinth to remember their

experience.

Circles in the Sand artists cannot ask for donations because their events take part on the Oregon State Park beaches. Founder Dyke said he actually prefers it that way.

“I want to keep it directly for the public. I don’t want to jade that,” he said. “We don’t want to alter what Circles has become for the sake of money.”

However, it does take money to keep the operation going, he said. So the Circles in the Sand team has local sponsors. They sell merchan dise on their website. They also hold an annual fundraiser.

The fundraiser helps Circles in the Sand support their team of artists and cover expenses like permit fees, equipment, advertising and purchasing dream stones.

The Circles in the Sand team said the fundraiser is part of what will hopefully keep the public art events going for a long time to come.

Circles in the Sand is becoming a part of Bandon’s identity.

“It’s family-friendly, it’s free and it’s on the beach. You have a gorgeous setting with these fabulous sea stacks and there are tide pools,” said sand artist Bethe Patrick. “You already have so many reasons to be drawn down to the beach besides what we do – but it all adds up together to be one great package.”

The fundraiser for 2023 is happening now through Dec. 23. Donations can be made on the Circles in the Sand website www.sandypathban don.com.

bring people downtown, where they could play and still shop.

The tent housing the ice rink was paid mostly through a grant. The tent will remain in place downtown even when the ice rink is closed, allowing the city to host con certs and other community events year round.

“It takes a mayor and council to approve the expense, the grant,” Milliron said. “That’s what’s moving

North Bend forward. It’s the enthusiasm that’s moving North Bend forward.”

Saturday was the first sign that the ice rink could pay off. While most of the guests were from North Bend and Coos Bay, there were visitors from outside the area, who came down for ice skating and decided to spend the day celebrating Christmas.

“When you watch the smiles, this is incredible,” Milliron said. “We did our due diligence. We knew what the interest was in the community. This is just the start.”

Over the winter months, North Bend is planning to host a variety of special skating events downtown, such as movie night, costume night, disco night and karaoke night.

On Saturday, the skating rink was just one of many events that helped North Bend celebrate the Christmas season. The day started with waffles with Santa and ended with Mayor Jessica Engelke and Santa leading a lighted Christmas parade. In between, there were events for young and old scattered throughout downtown North Bend.

Letter to the editor

I will watch my back

I pulled up to the Dollar Store in Coos Bay this morning and witnessed a man jumping around a car banging on the windows and generally carrying on. I thought maybe he was trying to break into the car so I went into the Dollar Store and said loudly "someone out here is acting crazy around your car...you might want to see what's going on."

Turned out the woman knew the man. They immediately chastised me. He yelled at me.. called me names. He told me I had no right to do this and continued yelling and calling me names. I said "you know what the next time I see somebody trying to break in your car I'll be sure NOT to let you know!"

These people ranted on and on at me until I finally just said the hell with this. I left the store and WILL NOT go back there. What has gone wrong with people where they think they can just act like animals and call people names when all we're trying to do is help protect them in our community. This is not an isolated incident. This has happened to me more than once when I've tried to help people. Now I'm at the point where I'm no longer going to try to help anyone. I will watch my own back.

A Word, Please: Greeting card etiquette

By JUNE CASAGRANDE

Sending out holiday greetings this year? Christmas cards, emails, posts on the family Facebook page and party invitations are all wonderful … opportunities to embarrass yourself with punctuation and grammar mis takes. So here, continuing my annual tradi tion, is the 2022 edition of the most common holiday greeting grammar flubs and how to avoid them.

Wrong: Happy holidays from the Mill er’s! Right: the Millers. If your last name ends with any letter other than S, Z, X, Ch or Sh, make it plural by just adding S. No apostrophe. Two people named Miller are the Millers. Three people named Smith are the Smiths.

Wrong: Happy holidays from the Ricci’s. Right: the Riccis. A name that ends in a vow el may look weird with an S at the end, but that’s no excuse to add an apostrophe. If your last name is D’Angelo, two of your family members are D’Angelos.

Wrong: Happy holidays from the Jones’, the Ramirez’s or the French’s. Right: Joneses, Ramirezes, Frenches. Seeing a theme here? No matter the name, you should never use an apostrophe to make it plural. These names work just like common nouns ending in S, Z, X, Ch and Sh, which add ES to form the plural — bosses, blintzes, axes, marches, marshes. So two Ramirezes, no apostrophe.

Wrong: We’re visiting the Miller’s house, the Ricci’s house, the Williams’ house, the Jones’s house, the Ramirez’s house or the French’s house. Right: The Millers’, Riccis’, Williamses’, Jonses’, Ramirezes’, Frenches’. Unlike plurals, possessives actually do take apostrophes. But when you’re talking about something that’s owned by more than one person, like a house, first make it plural — one Williams, two Williamses — then add the possessive apostrophe at the end: the Wil liamses’ house.

Wrong(ish): Hey Katie, (as a greeting in a card or email). Right: Hey, Katie. Don’t con

fuse a greeting like “hey” with an adjective like “dear.” When “dear” begins a correspon dence, you don’t need a comma after it: Dear Katie.” And when “Dear Katie” kicks off the first line of a correspondence, you can follow it with a comma or a colon: “Dear Katie, (line break) It was so nice to hear from you.” But “hey,” “hi,” “hello” and similar greetings are not adjectives. They don’t modify the noun that follows the way “dear” does. Instead, “hey” should be separated from the name with a comma. So just like “Katie, what are you doing?” and “It’s nice to see you, Katie,” there’s a comma to set off the name in “Hey, Katie.” After the name, you could put a com ma, but it looks funny because you already have one after “hey.” So opt for a colon or a period. “Hey, Katie: How have you been?” “Hey, Katie. Hope you’re well.” So why do I say that “Hey Katie,” with the comma at the end is “wrongish” instead of just wrong? Be cause it’s standard. Every editor I correspond with uses it. If editors do it, you can, too.

Not offensive: Xmas. Contrary to the com mon belief that X erases Christ from Christ mas, the X here is the Greek letter chi — the first letter in Christ — which was used as a reference to Jesus. So don’t worry about of fending anyone if you feel like writing Xmas.

Wrong: Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Right: Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Merry and Happy aren’t capitalized unless they’re the first word in the sentence.

Wrong: Wishing you all the best in the New Year. Right: the new year. The holidays New Year, New Year’s, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are capitalized. References to the year itself are not: the new year.

Wrong: Seasons greetings. Right: Season’s greetings. You’re sending greetings of just one season: this one. So season’s is singular possessive.

When Colorado passed its Red Flag law, called “Extreme Risk Protection Orders,” in 2019, El Paso County Sheriff Bill Elder announced his opposition: “I am exploring all legal options and am vigorously challenging the constitution ality of this law.”

He wasn’t alone. Many county sheriffs in Colorado said they believed the law didn’t allow enough due pro cess or was unconstitutional.

But since then, some 20 of these so-called “sanctuary” counties have seen the light, implementing this sensible law so that weapons have been taken away from violent people. But it was not used in El Paso County’s Colo rado Springs, where a man recently killed five people and wounded many others at Club Q, an LGBTQ bar.

The shooter, who sur vived, never had to go to court to defend himself against the Red Flag law — even after law enforcement was called in a year ago to stop him from threatening his family with a bomb.

If anyone needed to be parted from weapons, it was the Club Q shooter. But sad ly, in the wake of massacres like this, we frequently learn that no action was taken earlier by either law enforce ment or family.

The El Paso County Sher iff’s office, in a statement to the Colorado Sun, admitted that it has never initiated an extreme risk protection order, the first step in remov ing a firearm from someone under Colorado law.

The Red Flag law builds in due process, as only a judge can begin the process of removing someone’s guns. A second court appear ance is necessary to extend a temporary protection order beyond two weeks. While a Red Flag law is now used in 19 other states, the Associat ed Press found that Colorado

residents invoke the law less often than residents of other states.

Why not? A major reason is the anti-democratic ideol ogy of county sheriffs who choose what laws to enforce. Sheriffs have bought into the peculiar notion that a county has ultimate legal authority to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

One result of this old “Pos se Comitatus” approach is that local sheriffs feel free to ignore state laws they don’t like. All they have to do is la bel them “unconstitutional.”

Writers on the range guest CoLumn

This attitude was on full display in several states when they issued emergency orders to curb the spread of Covid 19. Rural sheriffs in Neva da, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and California resisted. They defied the or ders of their state government and refused to enforce public health measures.

The backbone of this county approach is best rep resented by the Constitution al Sheriff and Peace Officer Association, a group based in Arizona and founded by Richard Mack, described by the Anti-Defamation League as an “anti-government ex tremist.” Mack is also credit ed as a founding member of the Oath Keepers, infamous for their involvement in the January 6th Capitol riot.

In my home state of Ore gon, this rhetoric has made inroads. Though a conten tious ballot measure restrict ing magazine capacity and implementing a new firearm permitting system recent ly passed, several county sheriffs have joined lawsuits to prevent the reforms from going into effect. Many more of Oregon's 36 county sher iffs have stated they will not enforce all or parts of the law.

While not all of these sheriffs may view themselves as members of the Constitutional Sheriff and Peace Officer Association, the influence of its ideology is undeniable.

You would think it goes without saying, but the job of a county sheriff has never been to interpret laws as they see fit. Sheriffs are elected officials entrusted by their community to apply laws fairly. Allowing sheriffs to act as supreme legal arbiters is wrongheaded and dangerous. If the El Paso County sheriff or the shooter’s family had implemented the Red Flag law, a massacre might have been prevented.

So called “Constitutional Sheriffs” couch their rhetoric and ideology as a fight to preserve liberty and justice. It is almost as if they were living in a fictionalized version of the Wild West, where a lone sheriff with a gun upholds civilization. That is not the world we live in. Guns are not sacrosanct possessions, unstable and dangerous people should not be allowed to stockpile weapons, and activating the Red Flag law can save lives.

If our sheriffs won’t uphold the laws, maybe it’s time to vote for someone who will.

Bandon Police Blotter

As I See It: The Moore Mill

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN

"Moore Mill -- part of Bandon's history" was the headline of a great article in the June 15, 1983, Western World, which told the story of what was Bandon's leading employer for many, many years.

"Two things stand out to the person touring Bandon's Moore Mill and Lumber Company plant -- the expertise of the workers and the quality of the lumber they turn out.

"Moore Mill's mill, established in Bandon in 1909 and owned by the Miller family since 1948, is living history. It's one of the few large log, old-growth timber mills around.

"While many of the modern mills are aided by computers and have retooled to smaller, second-growth timber, Moore Mill uses the skills of men and tackles the big guys.

"It takes only three massive Douglas firs to fill the log trucks (first picture) headed for Moore Mill. Inside, a 10-foot head rig allows the mill to turn out 24x24-inch beams, 40 feet long." (This picture was taken in 1950 as Moore Mill hauled big logs out of the woods).

"With the saws adjustable, the mill can produce whatever lengths 40-foot and under the customer orders, and everything from1x2s to construction beams.

"Men manning each phase of the milling turn the logs for the best cut. They channel

some back for resaw, minimizing the knots, the weak spots, sorting and sawing for the strongest, highest quality product without waste."

" 'A lot of the guys have 20-30 years experience,' David Miller, nephew of mill company president Walt Miller, said. 'You can't just walk in off the streets and become a sawyer. You have to work your way up the machines (second photo of long-time sawyer Bill Linn the day he retired) and become effective at getting the most out of the logs.'

"Both Walt and David Miller agree that Moore Mill is known for quality lumber.

" 'We have the Cadillac of logs,' David said. 'We have a very good reputation with our customers; they know us for quality.'

"Their customers span the world. Lumber with the Moore Mill stamp is shipped internationally from Coos Bay. Barges pull into Bandon and load up with three million board feet, taking it south to California for domestic distribution (third photo of loaded barge at Moore Mill dock).

The previous year, the article explains that because of market conditions, the mill closed in May and did not open until January 1983.

"Miller said they hope to keep the mill running throughout the year, but he would make no promises.

"Moore Mill got its start around the turn of the century, begun by L.J. Cody and George Moore, former

logging partners in Michigan.

"About 1912, Cody's interest was purchased by Moore, who formed the George W. Moore Lumber Co."

Times were tough those first couple of years, and prices were described as "ruinously low" and a truly profitable operation was virtually impossible. "Then, with the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914, the market livened."

"Moore bought a tract of land composed largely of Sitka spruce.

"The spruce operation proved profitable and the company did well until the great depression struck in 1932, according to Moore. A major step taken by the management to cope with the situation was the abandonment of the company's logging operation and the employment of contract loggers.

"Though the mill survived the Bandon fire of 1936, it felt the devastating blow.

"A fortuitous circumstance occurred to bring in the needed help in weathering the fire disaster, according to Moore. The company recruited David Miller, Sr., an operator of high reputation and proven skill from Glendale, and the coming of Mr. Miller opened a new era in the company's operation.

"They are one of the big Douglas fir operations remaining today," concluded the 1983 article.

Sadly, it was only a few years before Moore Mill and Lumber Co. closed the mill, and in the process of being dismantled, the mill burned in 1987.

A 70-year resident of Bandon, Bert Cox, died Nov. 24 in Bandon at the age of 96.

************************

As I was writing my column Sunday evening someone contacted me about 6:45 p.m. to say that at least five fire trucks and several police cars had gone south out of Bandon.

One poster on Facebook said they believed it was a house fire in the Bradley Lake area. But I have no details.

***********************

Long-time Bandon residents, Doug and Iva Kistner, celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary Nov. 28th, according to a Facebook post by their daughter Linda Kistner Clausen. Other siblings include Melissa, Carolyn, Teresa, Rocky and Christiaan. Congratulations to a neat couple!

************************

If you notice a lot of activity in Old Town in the former Dave's TV building, on the corner of Second and Baltimore, it's the new owner, Tom Stadelman, busy renovating the building.

Tom has a lot of plans for the building, which has been vacant for several years. It was one of the first buildings to be constructed in the months after the Bandon Fire by Haga and Church, who operated a grocery store in the front and lived in the back. Later it was purchased by Jim Croxall and Sid Perry and operated by Jim as Croxall & Perry Grocery. Dave Elliott owned it for five decades, operating Dave's Radio & TV.

I am so glad to see Tom breathing new life into that corner of the street! ************************

INSURANCE AGENCY

After retiring from Moore Mill, Bert worked in the local cranberry bogs. He served in the U.S. Army, and earned the Pacific Defense and the Victory medals.

He is survived by one son, Calvin Cox of Bandon, and a daughter, Linda Denzel of Tampa, Fla. Another daughter, Kathy Moredock of Salem, died several years ago.

There will be no service.

I do not know the name of the buyer, but I understand an LLC has paid $2,050,000 for the Bandon Marina Inn, overlooking the waterfront on First Street, near the intersection of Delaware Avenue. The sale was said to have gone into escrow on Monday, Nov. 28th. It was owned by Lisa Schilling, who also owns the Laurel building on Highway 101, and recently sold the new parking lot property on the corner of First and Fillmore to the City of Bandon. ***********************

This isn't the first time the issue of renaming has come up in Lane County.

People are reminded to get their vehicles decorated with festive Christmas lights for the annual lighted vehicle parade, set for Saturday, Dec. 10, at 5:30 p.m. in Old Town. The event is sponsored by the Greater Bandon Association, and those planning to enter are asked to start lining up around 4:30 near the gravel lot west of town.

My "rain man" reported 9.66 inches of rain for November, compared to 7.33 inches for the same month last year. Rainfall for November 2020 was 9.43 inches; 3.05 inches for 2019; 7.01 inches for 2018, and 12.71 inches for 2017. ***********************

The City received the latest preliminary 2022 population estimates from Portland State University from July 1, which showed a population of 3,541 for Bandon. The revised population estimate for July 1, 2021, was 3,472, and the certified census figure for April 1, 2020, was 3,321. That's a two-year increase of 220 people. ***********************

Bandon was well repre-

sented on the Valley Coast Conference All-Star football team. Dylan Kamph was named to first team offense and first team defense as a lineman; Connor Devine was named first team linebacker and second team offense; Will Panagakis was named first team defensive back and received honorable mention as a quarterback; and Stealth Franklin was named to the second team as a linebacker. Receiving honorable mention were Ben Brown, Colton Siewell, Eli Freitag, Brandon Wilson and Logan Knapp. ***********************

All I could think of when I read about a move to change the name of Lane County to "Kalapuya County" was: what next? It seems that General Joseph Lane, after whom Lane County was named, was said to have supported slavery during the Civil War. (Oops probably not allowed to say that, either). And now there is a group of people who want the name changed. But there's a catch: in accordance with the

"Racist roots have prompted the renaming of buildings, streets and more across the country in recent years, including at the University of Oregon," according to an article in the Register-Guard.

It's hard for me to wrap my mind around this continued cancel culture, which seems to have evolved in the last couple of years. Let's say another Lane is chosen for Lane County .... and a few years from now, another group decides he or she is not fit to honor. Where does it end? As for me, I watched the "civil war" game between Oregon and Oregon State and never once thought about the Civil War. I "woke" up and enjoyed the game ....

This is a free public meeting to get to know fellow local preppers in southwestern Oregon counties and to exchange information and ideas. It is important for individuals to understand that they will be “on their own” in the event of a disaster and not depend on receiving outside help.

Longest Night Blue Christmas Evening Prayer 6 pm, December 21st

Faith Lutheran Church, 2741 Sherman Avenue, Coos Bay

All are welcome to join us.

While Advent is a season of hope and Christmas is a season of joy, not everyone feels hopeful or like celebrating. Grief, illness, aging, depression, loneliness, unemployment, and loss are magnified. Even those who are not struggling with losses may feel the stress of preparations and expectations around Christmas time.

A Longest Night/Blue Christmas service may provide a time and place of solace during the often frenetic days surrounding the celebration of Christmas. We come together seeking healing and room to share grief, sadness, loneliness, confusion, or simply a quiet space when these emotions often feel out of place during the holidays.

In the Northern Hemisphere, December 21 is the longest night, the winter solstice. It marks the shortest day of the year, the official start of winter. Tradition says that nature and all her creatures stop and hold their breath to see if the sun will turn back from its wanderings, if the days will lengthen and the earth will once again feel the sun’s warmth. On this darkest day of the year, we come with our honest yearnings seeking the return of light and hope. By all means, join us!

Bikers make Christmas bright for many

Bikers gathered Saturday to participate in the annual South Coast Bykes for Tykes Toy Run. South Coast Bykes for Tykes is a non-profit organization located in Coos Bay, and is sponsored by Walt and Sandy Evans, owners of Coos Cycle Supply. They and a dedicated group of friends and family work hard every year providing toys, clothing, and bicycles to local children around Coos County that are in need at Christmas time. The group’s relationship with K-Dock-Rotary Bus Jam is a partnership that brings hundreds of kids a magical Christmas.

Funding comes from donations, bike nights, and the Coos County River Run, which is an annual event held in July. Donations go toward providing toys and bicycles for children in need, which this year raised

over $40,000. Last week Bykes for Tykes volunteers assembled bicycles and shopped for toys which were loaded into vehicles for a parade leaving Coos Cycle Supply and then delivered to both local Bi-Mart stores. The parade was escorted by local fire agencies as well as a mile of motorcycles and vehicles carrying toys and bicycles.

We are fortunate to have such a caring biker community who dedicate their time to this event. Thank you to our friends, family, and community leaders for making Bykes for Tykes a success, and Christmas a little more special for Coos County kids who are in need. If you have any questions or would like to donate to Bykes for Tykes, please contact Walt at Coos Cycle Supply (541) 269-7292.
