School Board has deciding vote on County Annex Apartment Project

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

The City of North Bend’s Urban Renewal Agency (URA) is seeking to increase the maximum indebtedness available to their urban renewal plan in an attempt to create budgetary room for the demolition and redevelopment of the former Coos County Annex at 1975 McPhearson Avenue, in North Bend. The North Bend School Board meeting on February 6th, at 6 P.M., will hold a discussion and is expected to contain the critical vote on that increase, as well as a Public Building Project for the building of city ofﬁces.

The ﬁrst resolution is over the maximum indebtedness itself, which is essentially an increase in the URA’s spending limit. Tax revenue is allocated for the urban renewal plan by diverting it from the other tax districts. Meaning, funds that would go to the School District and the Port of Coos Bay, are diverted toward Urban Renewal for the duration of their adopted plan. Which, in the case of North Bend,

is a 30-year period. It does not mean a direct tax increase for citizens. Therefore, 75% of the impacted taxing districts (City of North Bend, North Bend School District, and the International Port of Coos Bay) would need to approve the resolution.

The URA’s argument for this diversion of funds is one of mutual beneﬁt. By abating otherwise abandoned buildings, and creating workforce housing in its place, the URA proposes that the school district will gain more students, meaning more state funding. This is in addition to more indirect beneﬁts like a more vibrant urban area. As the URA points out, enrollment in the school district has declined over the last 5 years.

“The annex housing development addresses this concern by providing workforce housing for educators, healthcare professionals, public safety personnel, and other essential workers. Families in these

Structure ﬁre leads to fatality in North Bend

STAFF REPORT

The North Bend Fire Department (NBFD) responded to an emergency call about a potential ﬁre at 2555 Sherman Avenue, at 1:47 p.m., on January 28, 2025. The department quickly responded and had crews on the

scene within two minutes of the call. On arrival, they observed smoke coming from the second story of the residential building.

Fireﬁghters initiated an immediate search and rescue operation. During their efforts, they discovered the home’s resident, who was identiﬁed

as Kayla Padgett (40), appeared to be unresponsive. NBFD attempted resuscitation on the scene, and a Bay Cities Ambulance was used to transported Padgett to Bay Area Hospital. We are sad to report that she was later pronounced deceased. Fire Chief Jim Brown

indicated that it was likely due to asphyxiation from smoke inhalation.

“I’d advice citizens to be careful with ﬁre anytime we’re using it,” advised Chief Brown. “And to make sure that we do have operating smoke detectors in our houses at any time.”

NBFD was able to rescue Padgett’s dog during the search and rescue operation, and the ﬁre was contained.

An investigation was conducted with assistance from the Oregon State Fire Marshal’s Office and the North Bend Police Department. The cause of the fire was determined to be an unattended open flame, and the fire has been ruled accidental with no indications of foul play. The World asked Chief Brown about the nature of that open flame, but he was unable to share more information in that regard. The scene was cleared by 5 pm that evening.

“The North Bend Fire Department extends its condolences to the family and friends of the victim. This tragedy serves as an important reminder of ﬁre safety precautions, including the dangers of unattended open ﬂames,” stated the NBFD.

Library Monthly: Feeling the love during National Library Lover’s Month

February is National Library Lover’s Month and Coos Bay Public Library (CBPL) would like to thank everyone in the community who has shown us the love - and we know there are a lot of you! In fact, during 2024 we had 122,470 visits. We also issued 1,774 new library cards to community members, bringing the total number of Coos Bay library cards to 14,268. That’s a lot of love! We work hard to return that love by making the library a welcoming and safe place for everyone and by choosing materials and programming that cover a wide range of interests so that everyone can find something

Firewood for Vets

Dear Editor,

I am writing to bring attention to a significant and heartwarming initiative, Firewood for Vets: this program aims to assist our disabled veterans, widows of veterans, and expands to our veterans with a helping hand up. This initiative ensures they have the warmth and comfort they deserve, especially during the cold winter months.

Our veterans have sacrificed so much for our country, and it is our duty to give back in any way we can. By providing firewood, we can offer practical assistance that directly impacts their daily lives. This initiative not only addresses the physical need for warmth but also sends a powerful message of gratitude and respect for their service.

The community’s involvement in collecting, cutting, and delivering firewood has been truly inspiring. It

HOLY COW! HISTORY: Gilbert’s star-spangled adventure

By J. MARK POWELL

Gilbert Bates was getting madder by the minute. The 31-year-old farmer was chewing the fat with a neighbor in November 1867. The man was a Radical Republican (like being a “woke” progressive today), and Democrat Bates was growing hot around the collar.

The tragedy that was the Civil War had been over for barely two years, and its wounds were still fresh. But Bates, a Union veteran of the conflict, and his militant neighbor saw things differently.

“Sergeant,” the man insisted, “the Southerners are rebels yet. They are worse now than they were during the war. They hate the Union flag. No man dare show that flag anywhere in the South except in the presence of our soldiers.”

Bates didn’t buy it. “You are mistaken. I can carry that flag myself from the Mississippi River all over the rebel states, alone and unarmed, too.”

The disagreement ended. But the more he mulled it over, the more convinced Bates grew that he was right. And so he bet his neighbor he could do the very thing the man had said couldn’t be done.

On a cold day in January 1868, in Albion, Wis., he kissed his wife and two small daughters goodbye and headed south. Bates was going to demonstrate that it was perfectly safe for a Northerner to walk across the former Confederacy with Old Glory in one hand and without a penny in his pocket. He would make ends meet by selling pictures of himself for a quarter apiece (about $10 today) along the way. The proceeds would also benefit widows and orphans on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Folks said it was a foolhardy mission. Reconstruction was in full swing, and the region was occupied by Federal soldiers, just like a conquered foreign country. The infant Ku Klux Klan was rearing its ugly head there, too. How would it cotton to the show of reconciliation?

Bates shrugged off those concerns and headed to his starting point of Vicksburg, Mississippi, the site of a bloody 47-day siege with a large national cemetery and physical scars all around as reminders. Though the guns were silent, the war was far from forgotten there.

The trip made national news from the

Our state has multiple well managed Lumber and Plywood Mills with full capacity to send critical wood products to Los Angeles. However, those Oregon companies and employers must have a consistent Douglas Fir Timber supply! The answer is clearly our O&C Forests which are growing by 1 billion Board Feet each year. For

start and was widely reported. The era’s great cynic, humorist Mark Twain, was skeptical. “This fellow will get more black eyes down there among those unreconstructed rebels than he can ever carry along with him without breaking his back. I expect to see him coming into Washington some day on one leg and with one eye out and an arm gone. Those fellows down there have no sentiment in them. They won’t buy his picture. They will be more likely to take his scalp.”

Twain was wildly wrong.

Bates was warmly welcomed by Vicksburg’s mayor. Locals not only gave him a blue uniform to wear, but they even provided him with a flag. And he was enthusiastically escorted out of town on the first leg of his long journey.

The story was the same everywhere he went. People took Bates into their homes for the night and sent him on his way with a hot meal. Step by step, he made his way across Alabama, Georgia, South and North Carolina, and Virginia, the telegraph providing updates to eager newspapers at each stop. Oftentimes, he passed through areas still devastated by Gen. William T. Sherman a few years earlier. And never once was there a threat or harsh word.

Finally, three months and 1,400 miles later, Bates carried the flag into Washington, D.C. His only disappointment came when the trip was over. Though his flag had flown over Virginia’s state capitol in Richmond (which had also served as the meeting place of the Confederate Congress) and other prominent sites, federal officials wouldn’t allow him to fly it over the U.S. Capitol.

Bates had won the bet. And it wasn’t the last one, either. In 1872, he traveled to the United Kingdom on a similar wager, again carrying the U.S. flag across Britain and again being warmly received by locals there. (Thus, winning the second bet, too.)

Bates enjoyed his 15 minutes of fame. He wrote a booklet about his experiences, lectured, and even appeared in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show.

He was 81 when he passed away in 1917, just eight weeks before the U.S. entered World War I. A veteran of the blue who held no ill will for those who had worn the gray, and who bore him no ill will in return.

Americans today could learn a lot from Bates’ mission of unity.

a staggering 25 billion Board Feet more than we had when it became Federal Law in 1937 (The O&C Act which my Grandfather Boice helped establish as an 18-year Curry County Commissioner).

The Sustained Yield policies mean that by State and Federal Law, our timber cannot be harvested faster than it grows, nor do we need to. Further, this plan essentially has nothing to do with nor include any US Forest Lands in our state. Oregon has the transportation systems in place to the Los Angeles areas. For a higher level of Timber Harvest on the BLM Forest Lands, there is no need to build any new roads or bridges as they’re already in place. We only need to employ additional workers for added daily Mill shifts and harvesting crews. California’s recovery doesn’t need Arizona or Canada inferior

I urge our readers to get involved in this initiative, whether by donating firewood, volunteering their time, or spreading the word. Together, we can make a

meaningful difference in the lives of our veterans and show them the appreciation they rightfully deserve.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope this letter shed s light on the importance of supporting our veterans through such initiatives and encourages more community members to participate.

Our neighbors 750 miles South had 14,000 homes destroyed and so many people lost everything! With this O&C/BLM plan - everybody wins AND we can also easily produce the lumber needed for our goals of constructing thousands of Oregon homes annually. To say we have more than an adequate timber supply for both states is an understatement. For 100 years – Oregon has mass produced the highest quality wood products available anywhere in the world. Those first 60 years we protected our forests from Catastrophic Fires. We must return to that noble responsibility. We have a story to tell, and we intend to knock on every door and ring every bell!

professions are likely to bring school-age children to the district, which can help reverse [declining enrollment],” argues the URA in written materials addressing the school district’s concerns.

The second resolution is to include a Public Building Project in the redevelopment, which would incorporate public ofﬁces into the housing proposal, and requires additional evidence of necessity and approval.

The URA argues that by moving City Hall into new ofﬁces on Union Avenue, they could consolidate it

and make it more efﬁcient than the current location, while avoiding costly upkeep and code updates to said location. This would make the current City Hall, at 835 California Avenue adjacent to the Annex, available for further housing development estimated to be around 40 additional units.

For the Public Building Project to pass it would need approval from 3 of the top 4 impacted tax districts. Which in this case would be different than the districts from the Maximum Indebtedness increase. The four most impacted districts would be the City of North Bend, The North Bend School District, Coos County, and the Coos County Library

District (which is under the County proper).

The Coos County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted not to approve the second resolution in their meeting on December 3rd, 2024. The major sticking point for the Commissioners were their current revenue issues, leading to the pod closure at the county jail and lay-offs of county employees.

“You know what the elephant in the room is, right?” said Commissioner Bob Main to North Bend City Manager David Milliron during their presentation. “Yesterday we closed one pod in the jail and we’re going to lay off a bunch of employees tomorrow.

That’s the problem. It’s a great project, sounds really cool… at the same time it takes away from the revenues to the county, and we’re struggling to keep the doors open.”

The City of North Bend’s position is obviously in favor of both resolutions in their URA’s project, and the Port of Coos Bay has voted yes on both of the resolutions, which leaves the deciding vote for the Maximum Indebtedness increase in the hands of the School Board.

The School District is somewhat insulated from a tax revenue reduction due to certain state funding protections. Without approval, the URA could face difﬁculties in abating the Annex property and it

could remain as a source of blight for the community. The URA will still need to prove to the County that their Public Building Project is worth voting for if they want a new City Hall.

Annex Background

The Annex building, which has sat without use since 2020, had its remaining services relocated to Coquille after safety and upkeep concerns caused its closure by the county. Before that, it was the Keizer Memorial Hospital. Since its closure, it has been a top priority for abatement given its size and central location within downtown North Bend, with close proximity to City Hall.

The North Bend Urban Renewal Agency purchased the 1.33-acre lot at a discount from the County in 2021, with plans for the building always containing some sort of housing proposal. In the spring of 2024, Congresswoman Val Hoyle helped secured a $4 million federal funding package to help demolish the annex and make way for a 72-unit housing development which would provide workers housing to the area. Workforce housing has been a critical issue for the South Coast, with a low vacancy rate and an increasing homeless population throughout the state, as well

Coquille girls get big win over Sutherlin

JOHN GUNTHER For The World

COQUILLE — The Coquille girls basketball team got a signature win for its resume Friday night, beating visiting Sutherlin 38-28 to take sole possession of the lead in the Far West League.

The Bulldogs have had the Red Devils’ numbers the past few years since Coquille moved back up to Class 3A and they were reunited in the league.

“They’ve always been a good team,” Coquille senior Holli Vigue said. “It feels great to finally beat them.”

With both teams thriving on pressure defense — they each allowed a total of 42 points against the first three teams they played in the league schedule — Friday’s game was expected to be a defensive affair.

It certainly started that way, with Sutherlin holding a 2-0 lead seven minutes into the contest, the only points a basket by Madison Huntley just over five minutes in.

Coquille finally got on the board when Vigue was fouled and made one of the free throws. She followed that with a three-point play on a drive to the hoop and another free throw after getting fouled on a rebound. The Red Devils capped the quarter with a bucket at the buzzer by Synthia Salazar after one of Coquille’s many steals.

The surge gave Coquille a 7-2 lead through one quarter, and more strong defense by the two teams in the second quarter left the Red Devils with a 17-9 lead at the break.

Coquille led 19-11 early in the third before Sutherlin had its best surge of the night, an 8-1 run to pull within 20-19.

Vigue, who was held in check most of the night by Sutherlin’s box-in-one defense, had a rare open look from the wing and swished a 3-pointer to give Coquille a little breath-

Area Hoops

ing room and the Red Devils took a 25-21 lead to the final quarter.

Coquille was up six after basket inside by Lexi Lucatero, but Huntley nailed a 3-pointer for Sutherlin and the Bulldogs then had several other chances to tie or pull within one.

The Red Devils put the game out of reach with transition hoops on three straight possessions — two by Taylor Kelner and one by Lucatero.

“Our transition offense (got going),” Coquille coach Marty Stallard said. “As soon as we did that, it changed.”

Sutherlin had used its own transition attack to cut into Coquille’s lead in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs were hurt when guard Makaila McClatcher fouled out.

The Red Devils didn’t help themselves at the line, missing six of seven free throws in the fourth quarter and shooting just 8-for-17 for the game from the charity stripe.

Vigue finished the night with 16 points and Kelner and Lu-

catero added nine each. Huntley had 11 points and Addyson Clark nine for Sutherlin.

Coquille improved to 4-0 in league play and 16-1 overall, the lone loss a close defeat to Class 4A Philomath in Marshfield’s holiday tournament.

Sutherlin is 3-1 in league and 12-6 overall with two losses to Philomath and one to Class 5A Crescent Valley.

Both teams now will look to stay sharp until their next meeting on Feb. 18 at Sutherlin. If they continue to beat the rest of the league foes, Coquille would clinch the league title with a win on the Bulldogs’ court while Sutherlin would be looking to force a tie for the league title.

Stallard said Friday’s win was important for the team, finally topping Sutherlin.

“It was a big win,” he said.

With the team struggling on offense recently with several players missing time for illness — starting guard Izabella Trujillo missed Friday’s game — Coquille’s defense was critical.

“We play hard,” Stallard said.

Vigue emphasized that point.

“Everybody works their butt off,” she said. “They work themselves to death. It’s crazy.”

And it’s vital, she said.

“Even if you miss shots, you work hard enough, you can still win the game.”

And Friday’s win was big for the team’s confidence and also for playoff positioning.

“We are in a great spot for the playoffs,” Vigue said.

Coquille was fourth in the most recent coaches poll and fifth in the Class 3A power rankings, which could be big come time for the postseason.

“You want that home game,” Stallard said.

Coquille beat Glide 48-22 earlier in the week and this week is home against South Umpqua on Tuesday to wrap up the first round of league play before traveling to Douglas on Friday.

Sutherlin is home against Glide on Tuesday and at Siuslaw on Friday.

Marshfield girls avenge loss to Bulldogs

Marshfield’s girls basketball team avenged its earlier Sky-Em League loss to North Bend and also beat Cottage Grove last week to remain in first place in the league standings.

The Pirates beat the Bulldogs 46-40 on North Bend’s floor to avenge an earlier 51-47 North Bend win and beat Cottage Grove 67-45.

This week, the Pirates have a huge home game against Marist Catholic on Tuesday and host Newport in a nonleague game Friday when they have their bye for the second round of the league schedule.

Marshfield is 6-1 in league play.

North Bend, meanwhile, also lost a close game at home to Junction City on Friday 57-51 to fall to 2-5 in league play heading into this week, when the Bulldogs play just a Friday game against Cottage Grove at home.

Marist Catholic also has just one league loss heading into Tuesday’s game at Marshfield — the Pirates beat the Spartans 46-35 in Eugene.

SUNSET CONFERENCE: Myrtle Point won both its games during the week to remain unbeaten and in first place in the league standings.

The Bobcats beat Oakland 50-29 and won at Gold Beach 58-24 to improve to 6-0 heading into this week, when they host Reedsport on Tuesday before a huge game at Bandon on Friday.

The Tigers are 5-1 after beating Gold Beach 60-13 and Illinois Valley 66-35. Their lone league loss was a 45-36 setback at Myrtle Point.

Commonly known as: 66234 NORTH BAY RD, NORTH BEND, OR 97459-8506 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary and no appointments of a successor trustee have been made, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above-described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: Not applicable due to loan maturity TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $2,014,714.01 PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT REINSTATEMENT WILL NOT BE AN OPTION AT THIS TIME, AS THE ENTIRE BALANCE OF THE DEBT IS OWED AND DUE. Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The loan has matured and all balances due under the terms of the promissory note dated 10/11/2023 have not been paid, including the balance of principal and interest, along with late charges, foreclosure fees and costs, any legal fees, and/or advances that have become due. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the

terms of the loan documents.

Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest CLAUSEN OYSTERS LLC C/O WSCJ BUSINESS SERVICES, INC, REG AGENT 805 SW BROADWAY, SUITE 2440 PORTLAND, OR, 97205 Original Borrower For Sale Information Call: 916-9390772 or Login to: www. nationwideposting.com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any.

to entertain, teach, or inspire them.

How do we choose which items and programs to offer? With so many quality books, games, and programs out there, deciding where to focus our resources is quite a task. One way we decide is by looking at the numbers. To serve our patrons to the best of our ability, we track and analyze a lot of data. We consider which items are checked out most frequently, which programs have the highest attendance, and even which days and times people are most able to visit the library. We use this information to make informed decisions such as which new items to purchase for our collection. Using this data and suggestions from our patrons, we purchased 7,151 new items in 2024 bringing our total collection to 117,402 items. By keeping our inventory fresh and varied, we strive to have something for everyone. It must be working because last year the members of this community checked out 243,070 items from the Coos Bay Library! We also use this data to determine what free programs best serve our community. Art, storytimes, book clubs, computer skills, game nights – there is something for everyone at the library. In fact, last year CBPL hosted 804 programs. These programs not only offer a chance to try something new, learn a skill, or express yourself; they are

also a chance to get to know people in the community that you may have never otherwise met. We love seeing people coming together to have fun and we know many of you do too, as the total attendance at library programs last year was 16,655 people. We are thrilled that we can help provide this service and bring free cultural, learning, and fun opportunities to our patrons and our community. But our selections aren’t just about the numbers. We highly value direct patron input; after all, this is your library! We get this input in several ways: library surveys, interaction on social media posts, and suggestions made in person and on our website. If you want a book, movie, or other item not currently in our system, please let us know. We will research the item and determine if it is something that should be added to our inventory, and if not, we’ll do our best to borrow it from another library for you. If there is a program that you would like to attend, we are eager to hear about it. We are happy to design and organize programs that are patron requested and will do the research to see if we can make it happen.

There is a lot to love about your public library. Not only books, DVD’s, and other physical items, but also having a place to build community. A place where everyone is welcome and there is always something to do. So, if you haven’t been in for a while, come check out (pun intended) everything we have to offer at CBPL!

In addition to a prime rib dinner and the chance for dressed up networking, MC and host Joanna Goslin provided some topical laughs, and member nominated awards were given to a number of recipients.

“It was an amazingly well attended event. Over 310 community and chamber members in the room, we’re only 458 members strong, so to have that many people in the room is an amazing show for each other,” said BACC Executive Director Rosey Thomas. “People seemed to have a whole lot of fun, and our winners were very well deserving and seemed very excited this year.”

First off was the presentation of the Prefontaine Award for achievement in athletics and academics. The two winners this year were both Track and Field athletes: Daphne Scriven and Jason Padgett, graduates from Marshﬁeld and North Bend High respectively. Both are now in competing in college after glittering high school careers.

Next was the Community Awards, given to organizations whose work greatly impacts locals and, well, the community. The winners this year were Star of Hope, South Coast Horizons, Premier Community Supports, and Bay Area Enterprises, who are each non-proﬁts who work with the intellectually and developmentally disabled to provide resources, support, and employment. New Horizons also took home an award for their work in in-home nursing, caring for seniors and at-risk folks in Coos Bay. Chamber Member of the Year followed. The winner was Derek Tonn of the Small Business Development Center at Southwestern Oregon Community College. Tonn serves on the chamber’s board of directors, and volunteers at community park cleanups throughout Coos County.

Ron Kutch of West Coast Contractors was given the President’s Award, as decided by the chamber board’s president Allison Richards and president elect Tracy Pierce. Kutch has worn many hats for the chamber, serving on the board of directors, executive committee, and legislative action team.

Citizen of the Year was

awarded to Kathe McNutt after over 50 years of community service in Coos Bay. McNutt is the manager of the Mingus Park Pool and therefore has a direct hand in a multitude of community initiatives and programs. She also works as a swim teacher and coach at the park and Marshﬁeld High, where she was recently inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The ﬁnal award of the night was given to Business of the Year, Yellow Cab Taxi. Owner Jeremy Oliver accepted the award for the taxi service which has served Coos County with safe transportation for over 80 years. Yellow Cab Taxi also participates in multiple charitable initiatives, providing free rides for veterans and conducting the Pink Cab program to raise funds for breast cancer research.

“The community does a great job supporting each other all year long, and then when it’s time to ask for nominations they start ﬂowing in from all over,” said Thomas. “It’s a lot of fun to be part of the committee, to and get to read all the good things people say about each other.”

The World congratulates all of the award winners and nominees!

By Mary Schamehorn As I See It

I discovered a neat article in the July 3, 1965, Western World about one of Bandon’s early-day shipbuilders, August Herman, who died the previous month.

He was prominent in the Bandon’s area’s past shipbuilding era, when the industry was a thriving activity in the first three decades of the 1900s, when water transportation was the key to most commerce and much personal travel.

“August Alfred Herman was one of five sons of the late Carl Christopher Herman and Eva Mae Wright Herman. The other four were Carl, Henry, Albert and Joshua, of whom the latter two are living -- Albert in Seattle and Joshua in the Bandon area near Prosper. There were three girls, Clara, Mary and Harriett.

“The brothers August and Carl were partners in the building of boats and many barges.

“They built the Liberty, the schooner Randolph, the Dora (first photo), Star of Sunset, May and several other boats at Randolph on the north bank of the Coquille River.

“After moving their yard across the river, they built the Charm in 1913, the Telegraph in 1914, the Norma and several other river boats, including the Active in 1924, the Imperial in 1925, the Billy Moore and several smaller boats up until 1930 when the C.M. Breuer was built off the Billy Moore model (second photo), but somewhat larger.

“August quit boatbuilding and, aside from repair work on river towboats during World War II, spent most of his time dairying on his farm between Prosper and Parkersburg until 1964 when ill health forced him to retire. The Herman family has long been linked with Bandon history. August’s uncle, Joshua Wright, was the organizer of Bandon Lodge No. 130, A.F. & A.M.”

Pretty much nobody has made the pages of the Western World more often than Billy Smith (third photo) over the last 70 years, mostly for his prowess in the sports arena and his civic endeavors.

But much earlier, as a little tyke, he accidentally burned the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. F.S. Younce, where the Smith family was living ... while playing with matches in the woodshed.

In July of 1959, when he was 10, he had to be rescued from the gorsecovered bluff along Beach Loop Road after he climbed nearly to the top, but wasn’t able to get back down or penetrate through the gorse. David Metcalfe heard his cries for help and went to the home of Raleigh and Karama Greene, who lived on the bluff. Raleigh grabbed a ladder and rescued Billy.

In the 1950s, the Greenes were long-time owners of the Bandon Theater, and Raleigh was active with the Bandon Lions Club.

Today Bill Smith is best known as a retired teacher, a history buff and the man behind the Veterans Memorial in City Park.

The big story this week is the announcement by Coast Community Health Center, withdrawing its closure notice. The

previous week, it was announced that Coast, the community’s Federally Qualified Health Center, would close Feb. 15, including its clinics and pharmacies in both Bandon and Port Orford.

“Since issuing that notice, Coast has experienced a groundswell of public and private support to keep this vital resource open and available in the community,” according to a press release issued Jan. 24.

“Among other things, Coast has received a commitment for sufficient initial support to continue its operations going forward, and is making plans to secure the clinic’s long-term future. As a result, Coast is pleased to announce that, effective immediately, the Closure Notice has been rescinded.

“Coast is working closely with local health care payers, providers and regulators to bring their services under new management. Currently, Coast is working with Adapt Integrated Health Care (Adapt) on an arrangement intended to transition the operation of Coast’s medical clinics to Adapt.

“Adapt provides comprehensive behavioral health services in the four most Southwestern Oregon counties, including Curry and Coos, and operates two five-star patient-centered primary care homes in Douglas County. Adapt has been in operation for over 50 years, and is deeply committed to the community.

“Adapt’s CEO, Dr. Greg Brigham, said, ‘Adapt is committed to working with Coast Community Health Center to find a solution that will keep its vital services available to the Coos and Curry county communities they serve.’

“We are grateful to our community for the outpouring of support we have received and we are committed to do everything we can to avoid a closure and secure these resources for the future,” said Coast’s CEO, Kendra Newbold.

“While it will take time to restore the clinic’s full capacity, our goal is for the clinics to emerge from this difficult time stronger and more committed to the community than ever,” she

said.

Patients of Coast are not required to take any action. They may continue to schedule their care at Coast as needed.

For the last several years, Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center has participated in the Daisy Award program, designed to honor extraordinary nurses, with two award ceremonies held each year.

The latest Daisy Award winner is Katie Witt, whose name was announced by Chief Nursing Officer Cori Valet at the Friday afternoon ceremony. Other nurses nominated for the honor were Tamie Farinacci, Catherine LongSpinner, Julie Buck, Kristina Campina, Maggie Ohlsen and Benjamin Koutsopoulos.

Honored the last two years were Sara Lewis, Jennifer Isenhart and Cindy Smith.

* * * I’ve learned about two disc golfers, who are always willing to lend a hand at City Park, where the city’s popular disc golf course is located.

Brendan Fisher has already spread two big piles of chips provided by the city to groom the trails throughout the park ... and he’s ready to do more. Nate Vining makes a habit of picking up debris and trash by the bucketful every time he’s out there.

Now if we could just carry that degree of civic responsibility to other areas of town, we could really spruce things up!

* * * Lori Osborne shared what we can expect for the next couple of months at the popular Meet and Greet events that she hosts every Tuesday at the Bandon Fisheries Warehouse, with people gathering at 11:30 and the free hour-long program starting at noon. Lunch and treats are available at the Warehouse Coffee Cafe.

The speaker for the Feb. 4 event will be Cori Valet, chief nursing officer for Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center, a graduate of Bandon High School who went into nursing and has worked herself up to the top job at our hospital.

On the schedule for Feb. 11 is Amanda Witlach, an

Edward Jones financial advisor, who will talk about the essentials of the new retirement (health, family, purpose and finances), which can help people get ready for and thrive in retirement.

Feb. 18, the program will be under the direction of Jim Proehl of the Bandon History Museum., and right now, Feb. 25 is an open date. So if you have an interesting program you’d like to share with the community, contact Lori at Farm and Sea.

The March 4 program will be given by Kellie Andrews of W7FCM who will talk about amateur radio, how to become licensed, and public services offered by amateur radio people in times of need.

A representative of Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center will present the program on March 11, and the Bandon History Museum will be back with the March 18 program.

On March 25, Sheriff Gabe Fabrizio will talk about preparedness for tsunamis and wildland fires.

* * * I have a little more information about the Gorse Blossom Festival, sponsored by Greater Bandon Association, which is being held Feb. 14-16 in Old Town, with a festival tent to be set up on Delaware Avenue between First and Second Street.

Friday features the “Science Pub” with presentations by the Gorse Action Group on topics such as defensible space, wildfire resiliency and best management practices for gorse eradication.

Saturday is the main festival day, offering live music, vendors, food, drinks and a local chowder contest. The entry fee is

$10.

Sunday concludes with the annual Bloody Mary Stroll, during which participants visit Old Town businesses to collect garnishes before enjoying the festival’s finale in the tent. Tickets for the Bloody Mary Stroll are $50.

City Manager Torrey Contreras said that as of Jan. 23, the Public Works Department and the Rural Fire Department have approved the use of a tent on Delaware Avenue provided that no drilling or penetration of city-owned property is used for anchoring the tent. The

public street will be temporarily closed to car traffic during the event; however, a fire lane will remain open to ensure emergency vehicle access to Old Town via Delaware Avenue, said Contreras. At the other end of town, the second annual Wine and Seafood festival will be held in the Bandon Fisheries Warehouse, with a wine dinner on Friday night, Feb. 14, featuring Abacela wines and live music. Tickets are $95.

James C. Risley

Life changed for the family of Jim Risley early Christmas morning of 2024 when he left earth to celebrate in Heaven. Although he always said, “life isn’t fair,” and his long struggle with Stage 4 cancer proved him right, he never complained; he lived and loved the best he could as long as he could.

Born in Arkansas on May 12 1949, the first son of Clarence and Frankie (Keen) Risley, the family moved to the Pacific Northwest when he was two years old. Both parents predeceased him, his wonderful mom just months ago. He was an extremely devoted son, taking her on weekly Walmart excursions and out to lunch for many years. He is survived by brothers Bob and Gary who looked to Jim as the head of the family after losing their Dad in a boating accident many years ago. Oddly, all three continued to love the ocean and its gifts. Jim was an avid fisherman, with a 52-pound salmon he caught at the mouth of the Coquille River (and netted single-handedly) being his ultimate trophy. Friends and family often benefited (and helped) catch crab, dig clams and even land tuna (Casey and Titan Jones); beach and back-yard crab feeds were the best!

Jim started school in Washington, ﬁnishing his high school education in 1967 as a North Bend, (Oregon) Bulldog. He then studied pinocle at SWOCC with friends Bill Reese and Tom Brown, before getting more serious about school and transferring to SOC in Ashland, Oregon,

Betty Lou Reed

December 30, 1929 - January 18, 2025

Betty Lou Reed, 95 years of age, passed away in her home early Saturday morning, January 18, 2025. Betty was born December 30, 1929 in Hagerstown, Maryland to John & Mary Izer.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 12 p.m., Saturday, February 8, 2025 at the North Bend Chapel 2014 McPherson Ave, North Bend, OR 97459. Friends and family are invited and encouraged to join in honoring her memory.

Betty was raised in a large family on several farms near Alden, Iowa. Her earliest memories were of playing in the snow, riding bikes in the summer and spending time at the soda shop inside the local dime store in Iowa Falls. Betty attended Alden County Schools until 7th grade before attending and graduating from Iowa Falls City Schools where she enjoyed spending time with her best friend Margie Rupp.

At 17, Betty met her future husband, Don Reed. Don was 19 and they courted for two years before being married on November 27, 1947. Their honeymoon was in Des Moines, Iowa where they visited Don’s sister, Dorothy. In 1949, Don & Betty made their ﬁrst trip to Oregon. Over the next several years, they returned to Iowa, back to Oregon, to Kansas and ultimately settled in North Bend, Oregon where Don purchased and operated the North Bend News.

Both Betty and Don were involved in the Bay Area community. Betty served within a number of organizations during her life including the National Parent Teacher Association, North Bend School Board & Zonta International. Betty was passionate about and donated to the North Bend Fire Department Toy Drive between 20002015. Each year spending her extra income on toys and candy to donate. One of her proudest moments was riding with the NBFD team members to deliver the toys.

She worked at the North Bend News until after Dons passing on January 25, 1973. From that time she worked at the BeeHive Tavern in Coos Bay, Oregon where she met many folks from the community that she would come to call friends. A favorite memory of hers was

where he completed his bachelor’s degree (after a break for National Guard duty) in wildlife biology; that passion continued his entire life, up to identifying and enjoying the multitudes of pine siskins that surrounded his home in his last days.

He met his wife, Sandy (Van Voorhis) at SOC and they married on March 24, 1971, nearly 54 years ago. They received the greatest gift of their life, daughter Raina, in 1978. Jim was always so very close to her and loved her with all his heart. He and Sandy devoted themselves to her horse habit for many years, with Jim often timing games (barrel racing, etc.) in the dusty Coos County Fairgrounds arena. He later was blessed with grandchildren Iyla and Brogan, sharing a deep bond with them and making unforgettable memories traveling to Disneyland, going on annual camping trips during their childhood and even enjoying a family trip to Cabo this past June. Jim was so very proud of them. Raina and Sandy were at Jim’s side when he passed. He also leaves behind his devoted dog, Harbor; Sandy promises to continue their River Walk excursions.

After college and several very odd jobs, he began a 30-year career with the Oregon Department of Transportation, working in Medford as a surveyor, being transferred to Portland, and voluntarily settling in Coquille where he held a number of positions, his favorite being his last job as District Operations Coordinator. He developed and maintained numerous

when patrons held a Betty Reed look alike competition in honor of her birthday. Betty ultimately retired from Safeway where she worked in the deli then held part time positions at Payless then Rite Aid until she was 86.

For those that knew Betty, it will come as no surprise that when asked at 94 how to describe herself she quickly stated, “Mouthy, kind, smart and funny.” Betty was an amazing mother, grandparent, friend and member of the community. Loyal, hardworking, quick to laugh and never shy to share her opinion. She will be deeply missed.

Betty was predeceased by her husband, Don Reed; father, John Izer and mother, Mary Izer as well as several brothers and sisters.

Betty is survived by her son, Michael and his wife, Robynn; her son, Mick and his wife, Julie; her daughter, Melony; grandchildren: Adam Reed, Alexa Lucero, Andy Hjelmstrom and Jenna Hjelmstrom.

Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www. coosbayareafunerals.com and www. theworldlink.com. Arrangements are under the care of the North Bend Chapel, 541756-0440.

friendships, with everyone remembering him as a “great guy who always had a smile to share.”

He and Sandy have had a wide variety of wonderful friends, including loved nieces and extended family members, often camping, traveling and celebrating together. He tolerated/enjoyed Sandy’s passion for music, attending many concerts over the years, including the Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac and the Rolling Stones!! Jim and Sandy also loved RV’ing and cruising, especially with the Reeses and Overstakes, lifelong friends.

Jim was a devoted Christian, joining Coquille Christian Community Church over 35 years ago, serving as an elder and deacon along with numerous other duties (often with sidekick, Tim) right up until he could no longer physically do so. This church family and their prayers held both he and Sandy up through his long illness; we are forever grateful. He also served as a volunteer for several community organizations over the years. He never really retired! The support of the entire Coquille community, including our Ramblewood Lane neighbors where he lived for over 45 years, has been, and continues to be, so very much appreciated.

This tribute to Jim could go on and on; sufﬁce it to say that we were blessed with the BEST son, brother, husband, father, grandpa, uncle, coworker and friend any of us could ever have had. LOVE IS HOW YOU STAY ALIVE, EVEN AFTER

Sharon L. Lemoine

March 10, 1943 - January 19, 2025

Sharon L. Lemoine passed away on January 19, 2025, after a brief illness. An Oregon native, Sharon was born in Astoria on March 10, 1943. She settled in North Bend 40 years ago, the last 35 of which she spent with her much adored husband, Bill.

Sharon was a joy to all who knew her, and her kindness left a lasting impression on all those she met. She had many pastimes such as gardening, and she was a connoisseur of wines, particularly of the Oregon variety. She travelled extensively, and she loved hosting weekly Happy Hours for her closest friends.

She was an ardent supporter of the Annual Music by the Bay Festival, cheerfully opening her heart and home every year to a visiting musician. Her kind, sweet nature ensured that she had friends not only in several states, but she held fast to many European friendships she acquired during her and Bill’s great adventures together.

She is survived by Bill, two children, two stepchildren, seven grandchildren, her ﬁrst expected great-grandchild, and
