Bay Area Chamber of Commerce

Executive Director Timm Slater to retire

By WILL LOHRE Country Media Inc

Bay Area Chamber of Commerce

Executive Director

Timm Slater has announced his retirement from the organization at the end of 2023. A search will commence soon for a new director. Slater has acted as Executive Director for almost 16 years and began in the position in May of 2007.

After the dif culties of COVID, the Chamber is focused on the future, according to Slater, and he is already looking toward his next endeavors.

"COVID was a dif cult impact for all of us, businesses, organizations, and government units. We

have the Chamber focused on its future course after these tough challenges," Slater said. "So I plan to hand off this important organization, take some deep breaths and explore a few adventures. Then I'll look for the next interesting challenge."

Accomplishments and Challenges

In his almost 16 years as Executive Director, these were some of the most signi cant accomplishments, according to Slater: Developing Leaders in the board of directors, chamber teams and event leaders. Adapting and improving the operational structure for the best impact in our community to engage today and tomorrow's opportunities. Active Advocacy program, which enables us to be a significant player in legislative and local issues. Slater and the Chamber of Commerce's achievements

have not come without their challenges. The closing of the rail line in 2007 was dif cult, but the community was able to overcome this with the city's port leading the way, according to Slater. However, Slater also noted that the 2009 recession was tough for all businesses and organizations.

Slater also said that the Chamber restricting of Teams/ Committees made it dif cult to get proactive personnel in place. Slater said there were challenges with the "program's use of innovation to be more impactful and recruitment of dedicated Directors interested in creating the future, not simply letting it happen."

COVID also posed a major dif culty for the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce.

"As an organization, we get all our funding from memberships, events, and publications, with no government contributions," Slater said. "Surviving and thriving through this challenge was through the

creativity of our board."

Collaborative effort

Working with the Chamber of Commerce, Slater emphasized the importance of teamwork. Recognizing that each team member has "strengths, issues and special interests," and then harnessing these components into a working body is important to be a leader.

"Everyone has their approach to leadership, which they have developed through many experiences, both good and challenging. All of them are effective in their own way," Slater said.

Five principles that Slater has used to guide him over the past several years are: Respect others—treat all as you would like to be treated. Be decisive—listen to all sides, then make a timely decision.

South Coast tours offers unique outdoor experiences New season begins in April

By BREE LAUGHLIN The World

South Coast Tours is gearing up for a new season of adventures.

The outdoor tour company features a variety of water-based activities from whale watching to river and ocean kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. They have tours spanning the South Coast from Coos Bay and Bandon to Port Orford and Brookings.

South Coast Tours also recently started offering a mountain bike, kayak combination. The “pedal and paddle” tour starts with a shuttle and 6.5 mile mostly downhill mountain bike ride near Agness and ends with a 5 mile white-water kayak paddle.

“It’s really fun and a little bit rowdy but it’s not death-defying kind of paddling. You are going to get wet for sure,” said South Coast Tours owner Dave Lacey.

Lacey said his favorite part about being a guide is “sharing this wonderful place with people.”

RAIN Catalysts appoint Brian Kryanik as South Coast Maritime Ambassador

By WILL LOHRE Country Media Inc

Non pro t Regional Accelerator & Innovation Network (RAIN) Catalysts have expanded their team on the Oregon Coast by hiring Brian Kryanik as their rst South Coast maritime ambassador. In this role, Kryanik will advocate for workforce development programs and connect fellow innovators to the resources they need to start and grow maritime businesses.

"It's kind of a dream posi-

tion," Kryanik said. "This has been my defacto position in the area because I know so many people through my work with the water trail and all the different ports and being a captain's class instructor. So, it's just kind of culminated and just been a really nice t, and I'm just honored to be the guy."

Kryanik "wears many hats." He's been involved with South Coast Inventors in Coos Bay, he's a Coast Guard

A new peddle and paddle tour takes adventure seekers to the Pine Grove Trailhead for a 6.5 mile mostly downhill ride through the Rogue Siskiyou National Forest. After the ride, guests are shuttled to a Wild and Scenic Rogue river paddle.

South Coast Tours offers a variety of activities from fishing, wildlife viewing or just simply gliding across the waterways on the Southern Oregon Coast.

Oregon ocean salmon fisheries affected by California’s low forecasted returns

With severely low forecasted returns of California chinook salmon (Sacramento and Klamath River), both California and Oregon ocean chinook commercial and recreational fisheries are impacted.

Coho are a bright spot again for Oregon, and the state is expecting another good run and fishing seasons like last year. Last week, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) cancelled the 2023 commercial ocean troll salmon fishery (Cape Falcon to the California border) and the recreational ocean salmon

fishery (Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain). This decision was made in consultation with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), and the states of Oregon and California.

ODFW’s ocean salmon project leader Eric Schindler says with California salmon forecasts so low, impacts to those critical chinook stocks need to be kept low.

“Chinook headed for California are caught along with local chinook and coho in Oregon’s ocean fisheries south of Cape Falcon. So, any fishery where these chinook are likely to be caught must be

licensed 25-ton captain, he is the operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels and 100-ton master class instructor for Columbia Paci c Maritime, he's the Oregon State Water Trails coordinator for Travel Oregon, and works for South Coast Tours, doing boat tours in Port Orford.

Through all of this experience, Kryanik has built a network that made him a perfect candidate for the South Coast Ambassador position.

"I'm always running into many people up and down the coast. I like to organically meet people, and in conversation, I can dig out what they're working on. If they need help with what they're working on, I'm always looking for that in to help people with their innovation, if they have any, or if there's a new business startup; how can we lend a hand," Kryanik said.

For Kryanik, this of cial position is almost a formal extension of much of the work that he already does. Through RAIN and their maritime initiative Startup Blue, Kryanik now has the resources and network to give people the "deliverables they need to be successful."

"Whereas I just had a loose network behind me, now being the actual South Coast Ambassador and having Startup Blue and Oregon RAIN behind me, I have a whole network of professionals that can bring to bear on peo-

restricted – that’s why Oregon and California agreed with NMFS and cancelled all early ocean salmon seasons south of Cape Falcon at least through May 15,” Schindler said.

The PFMC currently is developing summer salmon seasons to be decided by April 7. Those decisions will be sent to the U.S. Department of Commerce for final approval by May 15.

PFMC is considering several alternatives for summer and fall salmon seasons. Generally, these would allow coho fishing from mid-June through September but

ple's products," Kryanik said. "So we're at the very beginning of this, and I'm just looking forward to casting a big net and letting everyone up and down the coast know we're here for help."

Per RAIN's website, their mission is "to partner with communities to catalyze inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems, connect entrepreneurs to resources—including overlooked entrepreneurs—and contribute to the creation of prosperous economies."

One of the important aspects of the work that RAIN is doing on the rural coast of Oregon is the professional structure to help develop innovation into a business, according to Kryanik. Nate Gilman is the Maritime Innovator in Residence for RAIN and also discussed the array of services the organization offers, from aiding maritime businesses communicate with banking institutions to connecting edgling entrepreneurs with experts in their area.

According to Gilman, one of the goals of RAIN is to develop solutions based on community needs rather than come into situations with preimagined xes.

"Being investigative instead of prescriptive actually leads to good solutions. So, diving in and not telling people what they need, not looking to solve problems, but instead being available to understand what a community's problems are," Gilman said.

"Then using the network and people around that we have, as

restrict chinook fishing south of Cape Falcon until at least Sept. 1. By then, the majority of chinook headed to California are no longer offshore of Oregon’s coast. In September, there is still potential to harvest Oregon chinook salmon. A different mix of salmon stocks are offshore north of Cape Falcon, so season alternatives are different. Options being considered would allow recreational chinook and coho retention in the ocean beginning midJune through September.

well as, things there locally, to kind of push that thing forward."

RAIN is about presenting burgeoning businesses with business plans, connecting innovators with prototypers, helping entrepreneurs access capital, and a variety of other services. They want to present options and information to entrepreneurs seeking their services so people can make the best decision.

"We can connect you to the people, programs, and capital that you need to start and grow your business," PR Lead for RAIN Catalysts Matt Noble said. "Whether that's a mentor, a talent that you need to help push your project forward, an educational program that we might be hosting there locally on the coast, or an online program that Nate knows about to get you to that next level. It's a more holistic approach."

Kryanik has now been in the ambassador role for about two months and is keeping an open mind. During his early time on the job, Kryanik is working on getting boots on the ground in the communities he's helping and casting a wide net to grow his network.

Gilman and Kryanik will be hosting an event Tuesday, March 21, at the Charleston Merchant's Association to speak with around 30 business owners in the area. For more information, contact Brian Kryanik at brian@raincatalysts.org, or visit https://www. raincatalysts.org/sub.

The South Coast Development Council – the region’s economic development organization – is excited to announce that veteran accounting and economic development professional Bryan Sykes has taken the helm of the organization on an interim basis.

Sykes takes over for former Executive Director Shaun Gibbs, who left SCDC in February to pursue another position outside the region.

A United States Air Force veteran, Sykes also holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Southern Oregon University and is working toward the same degree in information technology from the Oregon Institute of Technology. He also holds an MBA from Marylhurst University.

Sykes has excellent regional and local economic development experience, having served in several roles with CCD Business Development, Inc., a certified development company serving Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties. He has worked as that organization’s accounting manager/assistant director for nearly 12 years. Before that, he worked in a private CPA firm and served in the military.

“While we are sad to see Mr. Gibbs move on, we are excited about the opportunity to take South Coast Development Council into its next chapter,”

SCDC Chair David Milliron said. “Bryan Sykes comes highly recommended because he has the economic development and leadership chops to help us

cus your efforts by using goals to reach the vision you have for tomorrow.

Hard work—be willing to put in the time at any level to get the job done.

Servant's attitude—In

John 13, we have the greatest example of leadership when Jesus washes the feet of his disciples. His point: true leaders are rst servants. You do likewise.

For Slater, serving as executive director has been a continuation of his focus on community service. Slater said it had been a way to help chart the community's future success and development of the leaders to manage that future.

Here are just some of the positions and capacities that Slater has served in the communi-

through this transitional period while we seek a new permanent executive director to lead our organization forward.”

“I also find it satisfying to empower people to do something they didn’t think they could do,” he said. “We get a lot of people who say, ‘I didn’t think I could paddle on the ocean and it wasn’t as hard as I thought.’ They gain a bit of self confidence. So sharing and empowering people is meaningful for me.”

The Port Orford resident started his business more than a decade ago after being in the cabinet and furniture making industry. He said he was inhaling too much sawdust wanted to spend more time outside.

‘You should start up a guiding business here.’ So it was kind of like peer pressure,” he said with a laugh.

Lacey operated South Coast Tours on his own for the initial couple years, and hired his first employee in 2014. Fast forward to 2022 –South Coast Tours employed eight guides.

Marcus Mayorga is one of Lacey’s longtime employees. He said he’s developed into a sort of “wild card” guide.

“I like a little variety bouncing around all summer. It’s awesome. One day I can be paddling the river doing whitewater and the next day I could be watching whales in Port Orford – and the next day I could be fishing down in Brookings. There is so much water here. It’s incredible,” Mayorga said.

The guide hopes his guests feel more connected to nature and get inspired from the power of the ocean or river.

“For a lot of people, it’s completely new to get to experience the type of wildlife interactions that we do,” Mayorga said.

South Coast Tours owner Lacey said they are the only outfitter in Oregon that does ocean paddling.

The orientation of the coastline protects some of their paddling destinations, enabling paddlers to get out on the ocean.

“It’s nice to get out there and be able to enjoy the coastline because in a lot of places it’s too rough or too windy. So we are uniquely situated in that way,” Lacey said.

“So that makes us unique, but I think it’s really all about

Merkley, Panetta Announce Legislation to Protect Monarch Butterfly, Pollinator Populations

Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley teamed up with Representative Jimmy Panetta (D-CA) to announce the 2023 Monarch Action, Recovery and Conservation of Habitat (MONARCH) Act. The bill was introduced today in the U.S. Senate and will be introduced in the House of Representatives in the coming weeks. The bicameral MONARCH Act would help prevent the extinction of the western monarch butterfly and other critically important pollinators.

“We’ve all experienced the moment of childhood joy and excitement when we spot a butterfly dancing in the air,” said Sena-

tor Merkley. “Though western monarch populations were already in peril, this year’s extreme winter storms have hit overwintering monarchs hard and made addressing this threat even more urgent. Protecting monarch butterflies and other pollinators is a critical issue that requires sustainable solutions, and we must do everything we can to implement experts’ conservation plans and save these species before time runs out.”

“Fortunately, we in California’s 19th Congressional District have long treasured the western monarch butterflies who overwinter in our communities. Unfor-

tunately, we recently are experiencing the significant decline of their population partly due to the shrinking of their habitats,” said Rep. Panetta. “That’s why I’m continuing to lead the House effort to provide the necessary federal investments to restore their habitat and help save the west-

ern monarch butterfly from extinction. I look forward to working with my colleagues in the House and the Senate to conserve and restore their habitats so that together we can protect and perpetuate monarchs and other essential pollinators.” The MONARCH Act would provide urgent

protections for the struggling western monarch butterfly, an iconic and important butterfly whose population has dropped by 99% since the 1980s. This legislation would authorize $62.5 million for projects aimed at conserving the western monarch and an additional $62.5 million to

implement the Western Monarch Butterfly Conservation Plan, which was prepared by the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies in January 2019. The $62.5 million in funding for each effort would be divided into five annual installments

PRISMs project making a difference at SWOCC

Southwestern Oregon Community College’s PRISMS project is funded through an Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium Faculty Research Award awarded to co-investigators

Aaron Coyner (physics and engineering) and Michael Springer (chemistry). The initial intent of the project (formally titled Providing Research Infrastructure for Space and Material

Sciences) was to provide students and faculty opportunities to conduct research on a number of space physics and material science topics:

· Modeling of the interplanetary pick-up ion population using data from the HPCA instruments aboard NASA’s Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission

· Developing novel liquid crystal materials for potential solar cell

applications

· Identifying and classifying potential micrometeorite candidates from our coastal Oregon environment.

· Helping to identify near-Earth asteroids observed by the PanSTARRS telescope systems as participants in the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC)

While the primary goals are to bring student research opportunities to the students at Southwestern, our PRISMS project coordinator Krystal Hopper has incorporated a strong STEM outreach program component extending opportunities to K-12 schools (both public and private) for supplemental STEM activities, classroom visits, lab tours and student mentorship. Over the past year, Ms. Hopper

has made connections with educators throughout the region and has planned a number of valuable STEM experiences for multiple classes.

One stellar example is our recent outreach work with Mrs. Kapande’s 3rd Grade class at the Lighthouse school. Our SPEAR team recently visited on March 3, 2023 to participate in the class’s rocket launch day where we discussed rockets and hovercraft and helped the students to launch water bottle rockets as an enrichment activity.

North Bend City Council discusses time, place, and manner for camping ordinance

By WILL LOHRE Country Media Inc

During a joint work session of the North Bend City Council and the Urban Renewal Agency, the findings of the camping ordinance town hall meeting on March 6 were discussed.

North Bend City Planner Derek Payne began his address to the council by stating there have been no changes to the camping ordinance that was discussed at the town hall but they are looking for the council’s guidance on “what to change, and how to change it.” Payne then discussed the findings of the town hall about the time, place, and manner for instituting the camping ordinance.

Based on town hall comments, Payne said that 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. was the consensus on when camping should be allowed under the “time” constraint. Because state law mandates a 12-hour period, Payne said that the amount of time could not be modified, but the timeframes when camping is allowed can be adjusted.

Regarding the “manner” of camping, Payne reported to the council that there was no consensus on this aspect from town hall responses. Payne did relay some of the suggestions made at the town hall.

Some of the suggestions included:

• Having managed camps be clean and sober.

• Having a roster for

occupants of managed camps.

• Making square-foot allotments per camper.

• A prohibition of camping within 500 square feet of a school or sports field. These were just some of the suggestions, but Payne reiterated that there was no consensus from the responses.

There was also no consensus from town hall responses regarding the “place” for camping in the ordinance. Payne noted that the matter of place would be an area where council input will be needed. Many town hall suggestions were not feasible because they were on private property, outside the North Bend city limits or illegal in terms of the law.

Some of the viable suggestions for “place” included:

• Grant Circle

• The parking lot at Union and Virginia

• Harbor Street

Payne noted that a new definition of what “temporary” means in the ordinance is needed. Currently, the ordinance defines temporary as 180 days. Many comments from the town hall categorized temporary as ranging from one to three months.

Concerning the time frame for passing the ordinance by June 1, Payne highly suggested that the council hear the ordinance on or before the May 9 City Council session to allow for multiple meetings because it will be a contentious

issue.

Upon the conclusion of Payne’s report, Mayor Jessica Engelke and the council discussed the ordinance. The city is hoping to have a draft ordinance done in April. Engelke emphasized that, while a longterm solution can be achieved in the future, finishing an ordinance before July 1 is the priority because if they cannot, camping will be allowed “anywhere.”

City Administrator David Milliron told the council that if they can get him suggestions for locations for camping by April 5, he will create a map with the prospective camp locations for the council to review.

In response to a question from Engelke on what streets had the most common answers, Payne said that the roundabout at Grant Circle received the most votes as a camping location. A property on Newmark was also a popular response from the town hall. Responses also suggested the street where Mayor Engelke lives. To examine potential sites, the council will take a “field trip” to visit the Newmark location.

After a discussion revolving around enforcement of the ordinance and regulations regarding RVs, the City Council resolved for councilors to find three to six streets they could suggest to the city administrator by April 5 for a new draft ordinance.

Today, a young girl came into the Coos County Sheriff’s Office with her grandmother, who had an appointment with the office staff. While grandma was busy with her appointment, the Sheriff’s Office Staff took it upon themselves to burden the young child with stickers, crayons, and other items of fun they like to give out to the kiddos. Sgt. Matt Smith observed this occurring and, not to be outdone, gave the kiddo a new fishing pole.

Elwin “Al” Corliss

Leland Cole Simpson passed away Thursday, March 16, 2023, at the age of 89. Leland was born in Rupert, Idaho on March 4, 1934, the 2nd of 11 children to Edward Phillip Lord Simpson and Luretta Mary Cole Simpson. Leland married Muriel Faye Ketchum, his high school sweetheart and love of his life on October 6, 1954, and together they had 6 children, numerous

grandchildren and great grandchildren that he loved and adored.

He was a farmer, a logger, a millworker, and then retired from the Coquille School district. Leland was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He enjoyed working but had many interests and hobbies. He enjoyed painting, stained-glass work, woodcarving, work-

November 11, 1944 - March 13, 2023

On March 13, 2023, Joyce Johnson passed away peacefully at the age of 78. Joyce was the wife of Doug Johnson; mother of two; grandmother of four; and great grandmother of four. She was a confidant and mentor to more people than we will ever know. Her leadership and life example were a teaching tool in itself, she always had time for anyone who needed an ear to confide in or needed a helping hand.

Joyce was born November 11, 1944, in Portland, Oregon. She lived in several towns growing up, but attended High School in Newport, Oregon where she met the love of her life, Doug Johnson. They were married on February 16, 1963. In October 1963, Cindy was born and 2 years later Rob was added to the family.

Joyce was a member of Skyline Baptist Church for over 40 years. Over the years at the Church, she held many positions and was thought of as one of the leaders of the church. With her guidance, many things evolved and changed over the years as the church grew to what it is today. Mom

loved scripture from the Bible, and it was how she conducted her life. Just a few days before her passing, Cindy asked mom what scripture she would like, and mom’s reply was “ALL OF IT”. Joyce always made sure that during difficult times members of the church family were not only being thought of and prayed for, but made sure meals were available for them before, during and after the difficult event. She was a leader in more ways than you could ever explain.

Mom was a seamstress that was second to none. She loved to sew most anything and was able to create beautiful pieces. She took great pride in making clothes for our whole family, shirts and fishing vests for dad and Rob, blouses, dresses and whole outfits for herself and Cindy, as well as for many people other than our immediate family. She took great pride in her sewing abilities.

Mom loved to spend time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren, time had no meaning when she was with them. She taught them many things from cooking, baking, crafts, painting, embroidery,

Services for Leland will be at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 2405 Shelley Road in Coquille on March 24, 2023. Family Gathering at 10:00 AM, family prayer at 10:45 AM, and funeral service at 11:00 AM. Interment is at Myrtle Crest Memorial Gardens. Online remembrances and condolences may be shared with family at www.westrumfuneralservice.com

Funeral to be held Saturday, March 25, 2023, 2 pm at Sunset Memorial Park 63060 Millington Frontage Rd. Coos Bay, Oregon 97420 Elwin “AL” Corliss was born in North Fayston, Vermont, on November 6, 1930. Al spent most of his youth in Bristol, Vermont. He was the oldest of 5 children. He attended public schools until high school when he then attended The Stony Brook School, on Long Island, in New York. After graduation in 1949, Al entered the Air Force. In 1951, he served one year in Korea. In 1952, Al left the service to attend Electronics School in Boston Massachusetts. In May, 1955 he re-enlisted in the Air Force where he was an In-flight Radar Technician. Al flew for 4 years, earning his Crew Member Wings.

In 1957 while stationed in Sacramento, California, Al met Delores Lee who became his wife April 28, 1958. They were married almost 43 years. They had 4 children, all survive today. Delores passed away December 31, 2000 from breast cancer. She has 4 siblings; 3 brothers, Bill, Larry and Michael; and one sister, Lois. Al met Cherrill Clancy, a Hospice Nurse and after

dating a few months they were married on August 5, 2001. They had a combined family of 8 children, 18 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Al and Cherrill enjoyed many travels together both abroad and throughout the United States.

Cherrill was diagnosed with ALS and passed to be with God on January 5, 2014. She is survived by 4 children, 8 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.

In 1959, Al was introduced to computers. He attended the IBM Field Engineering School for the Air Force SAGE computer at Kingston, New York. Al worked as a Central Computer Maintenance Technician until he left the Air Force in 1963. In August, 1965 Al went to work for IBM as a computer programmer until he retired in 1992. During this time Al functioned in many roles which included being president of the IBM Club Board of Directors,

a Senior Associate Programmer, then ending his IBM career as a Project Programmer Manager. Al also re-enlisted in the US Navy Reserve in 1973. He spent 17 years in the Navy Reserve and retired in 1990 with a total of 28 years of military service. In retirement he developed a computer education center to educate the senior citizens in North Bend and attended Skyline Baptist Church.

In short, Al lived a well-diversified life having shared his experiences with all he encountered. Al loved his family, friends and traveling. Al will be missed and the world seems a little smaller without him here, however, he has gone to a better place and will be there to receive us when next we meet.

In The Matter of Civil Versus Criminal

BY CAPTAIN SEAN SANBORN Guest Article

At the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, we deal with several incidents throughout a typical day. We recognize the frustrations of our citizens and do whatever we can to help. However, a significant point of anger directed at Deputies is when we have to tell a person that a matter is civil. The law is evident in the issues a peace officer can handle. Our authority is limited by statute to criminal cases alone, and only through an investigative process may we act against someone who has committed a crime.

The other side of the law would be civil. Civil law becomes involved when we discuss contracts, agreements, and property lines. While it is true that the Coos County Sheriff’s Office has a “civil” division, the responsibilities of this division are limited to serving subpoenas, writs, and other court orders handed down to the Sheriff’s Office from the courts. Our civil division often carries out those processes when a judge orders the Sheriff’s Office to do so. This is often seen by the public and is evident in evictions.

Marital matters are always tricky. I am sure many can relate to a complicated or ugly divorce where two people living together separate. In these incidents, we often find property disputes. It is essential to understand that Oregon is a community property state. This means that upon marriage, the property is owned by the couple and not the individual until such a time as the court separates the assets. This includes homes, cars, dogs, and other property. The same could be said regarding the custody of children.

Criminal law regarding custodial interference (ORS 163.245 and ORS 163.257) specifically outlines when a custodial situation becomes a crime. Often there are custodial agreements that are put in place by the courts. However, there is no criminal process for enforcing those custodial agreements. More often than not, a Deputy will tell a parent that they need to go back to the courts to adjust that agreement or report a violation of that agreement. We often see folks attempt to report vehicles as being stolen when a person they have an

agreement with has chosen not to pay that bill. When a vehicle is sold, whether it is in writing or not, an agreement or verbal contract is entered upon by the two parties. We cannot take a stolen vehicle report in these instances.

Property line disputes are complicated, any situation where a property line is in conflict, a deputy will tell the parties to have the property surveyed, and then should the matter remain in dispute, go to the courts or consult an attorney. There are certainly times when we wish to make that call in the field and settle the matter. However, deputies must be trained as surveyors and equipped to do that, which they are not. There is certainly the crime of Criminal Trespass which may be enforced when there is an explicit property line; however, if the matter is a dispute, it becomes difficult to enforce that law when both parties say they are on their property and standing in the same place.

We frequently deal in matters involving landlord/ tenant law. If anyone is allowed to live in a person’s home for an extended periGuest Column C ontinues on page 12

HOLY COW! HISTORY: Another Ex-President’s Brush With the Law

BY J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

The airwaves are consumed with talk of former president Donald Trump’s possible arrest. Seventy years ago, another ex-chief executive had an encounter with a cop. Though the two situations were far from similar, it’s worth revisiting.

You’ve just wrapped up the world’s most demanding job. You used the atomic bomb for the first time, helped create the United Nations, and stood up to communist aggression in Korea. What do you do next?

You hit the road, of course.

Except for being a politician, Harry Truman was one of us. A downto-earth middle-class guy who struggled to pay his bills, cherished his wife and daughter, and enjoyed a snort of Kentucky bourbon and a friendly game of poker.

And like many of us, Harry loved cars. He especially had a thing for Chrysler products.

When folks at the Chrysler Corp. heard about Harry’s remarkable customer loyalty, they gave him a new 1953 Chrysler New Yorker in appreciation. (Believing a former president shouldn’t be beholden to a corporate giant, Harry insisted on paying $1 so it wouldn’t be a gift.)

That big, shiny sedan had Harry itching to hit the road, and he knew just how to persuade wife Bess to go with him. They could drive it to visit their daughter Margaret in New York City. What mom could say no to that?

Harry was up at his usual 5:30 a.m. on Friday, June 19, 1953, at their Independence, Mo., home. Not long after sunrise, he loaded 11 suitcases into the trunk, scooped Bess into the passenger seat, and headed east. There were no Secret Service agents tagging along (they wouldn’t be assigned to ex-presidents until after JFK’s assassination a decade later). Just a former president, a former first lady, a full tank of gas, and highway maps

of $12.5 million. The MONARCH Act is cosponsored by Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Alex Padilla (D-CA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Martin Heinrich (D-NM).

in the glove compartment.

They were like any married couple on the road. Harry had a lead foot, Bess scolded him to slow down, and he silently fumed. (It must have been hard for a guy who had negotiated with Churchill and Stalin to have the Missus constantly harping to drive slower.)

The first stop was a diner in Hannibal, Mo., where they had fruit plates and iced tea. Congress wouldn’t grant former presidents a pension for several years, so Harry had to count pennies. They were nofrills travelers anyway. In Indianapolis, they spent the night with friends. Imagine young Claire McKinney’s surprise when trying to tiptoe inside without getting caught after staying out late she found Harry playing the family piano in the living room.

Harry and Bess went whole hog at Princess Restaurant in Frostburg, Md. —two chicken dinners for $1.40, plus tip. When word got out that the Trumans were eating there (a plaque now marks their booth), the place quickly filled up. Harry later said, “I had been there before, but in those days they didn’t make such a fuss over me. I was just a senator then.”

Stopping at a gas station for a fill-up and a soft drink, the owner asked him to give his mechanic a hard time for being a Republican. Harry replied, “It’s too hot to give anybody hell.”

His return to Washington, where Harry was finally a private citizen again after 18 years as senator, vice president and president, was a triumph.

It was nothing compared to the Big Apple. Harry and Bess painted the town red. A suite at the Waldorf Towers, two Broadway shows, and even dinner at trendy nightclub 21, where the maître d’hôtel pulled off a geographic miracle by seating them far away from Gov. Thomas Dewey, the man Truman had kept out of the White House.

Today’s introduction builds on a series of actions led by Senator Merkley to revive the populations of western monarch and other pollinators, like honeybees— including the introduction and passage of the bipartisan Monarch and Pollinator Highway Act; hosting, in partnership with the Department of Interior, a Monarch Butterfly Summit; investing $1 million in the Na-

J. Mark Powell

The trip’s highlight came on July 5 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Harry was for once obeying Bess’ scolding and driving 55 miles per hour, her preferred speed. The problem was the Turnpike’s speed limit was higher, and Harry was poking along in the left lane, forcing a line of cars to build up behind him.

Without knowing who was driving, state trooper Manley Stampler motioned for Harry to pull over. (Pennsylvania’s state cop cars didn’t have flashing lights at the time.) Imagine Stampler’s shock when he saw who was behind the wheel. He recalled, “I told him what he had done wrong and he said he didn’t realize it — that it wasn’t intentional. Then, I told him how dangerous the turnpike is and … wouldn’t he please be more careful. He was very nice about it and promised to be more careful.”

Bess chimed in, saying, “Don’t worry, Trooper, I’ll watch him.” Stampler added the two-minute encounter “seemed to last a long time.”

The press found out about it and had a field day. Harry shrugged it off, claiming the trooper pulled him over just to shake hands.

Nineteen days and 2,500 miles later, the trip ended where it began. Once again, Harry carried all 11 suitcases inside himself. A simple reminder of a different time and a different type of president that we’ll likely never see again.

Commonly known as: 2973 S TEN MILE LAKE, LAKESIDE, OR 97449 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: $251,472.83

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 reinstatement or 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 12/2/2021 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. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION F/K/A QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 7/6/2023 at the hour of 10:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, Inside the main lobby of the Coos County Courthouse, located at 250 N Baxter St, Coquille, OR 97423 County of COOS, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee.

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,

The family said that memorial services will be held at a later date.

I heard from a good friend that her neighbor, David Burns, who lived on Michigan Avenue, had died recently. David, who served his country in the U.S. Coast Guard, was 96 years old.

I also learned that Marilyn Noorda's 62-year-old son, Jeffrey, died suddenly on June 24. Many of Marilyn's Bandon friends knew Jeffrey and saw him recently when he was in town to move his mother to her new home in Salt Lake City so she could be near her family. My heart goes out to Marilyn and her family. Marilyn is a sister to former city councilor Nancy Drew, and she served on the hospital board some years ago. She and her late

husband, Darwin, were active in the Good Neighbors club.

Several things have happened lately on the housing front.

First, the Bandon Planning Commission approved, with conditions, a Conditional Use permit for a 48-unit market-rate apartment complex, to be built along Seabird Drive near the intersection of Highway 101 on a 3.16-acre parcel owned by a West Linn man, Jim Murray of Bently, LLC.

The 48 apartments, which will be a mix of one- and two-bedroom units, will be built in four two-story buildings.

I also learned last week that the owners of Bandon Dunes Golf Resort have purchased the Lake Bradley Christian Retreat property, which will be turned into staff housing.

The resort was built in the late '40s by Leona Koff and was known as Tanglewood for many years. In early 1962, it was purchased by Col. Homer B. Millard and his wife, Esther, who moved their Millard School from Lan-

glois Mountain to the facility. Several months after the move, Col. Millard died. His wife continued to operate the school for several years. Millard was a preparatory school for the military academies and was attended by young men from all parts of the country.

Some years ago, it was purchased by the Applegate Christian Fellowship, and was primarily used as a site for Christian retreats.

While attending the annual membership meeting of the Bandon Chamber, I learned that unless volunteers step forward very soon, there may not be a Cranberry Festival this year.

In closing, we at the Sheriff’s Office recognize your frustration, and often, things seem like they should be criminal or feel criminal to an individual when they are not.

A public visitation for Darrell Gene Bennett, 85, of North Bend, will be held from 1:00 pm3:00 pm, Friday, March 31, 2023 at the Coos Bay Chapel, 685 Anderson Avenue in Coos Bay. A graveside service will be held at 10:00 am, Saturday, April 1, 2023 at Sunset Memorial Park, 63060 Millington Frontage Road, followed by a celebration of life at 1:00 pm at Riverview Christian Fellowship, 64253 Solari Lane in Coos Bay with pastors Daniel Fox and Matt Fox, officiating. Casual wear is encouraged at the celebration.

Darrell Bennett, also known as Bosco or Butch, was born December 17, 1937 in Eugene, Oregon to Eugene Russell and Kathryn Elizabeth (Heer) Bennett. He passed away peacefully surrounded by family at his home in North Bend, the morning of Sunday, March 19, 2023.

Darrell’s family moved

to Coos Bay when he was 8 years old. He graduated from North Bend High School in 1956. Darrell went into service for the Army National Guard at Ford Ord, California. Darrell started working as a teenager for Sprouse Reitz and Steve’s Food Store. He then worked for McKay’s Markets as an assistant manager and later as a produce manager. After working 27 years for McKay’s Markets, Darrell retired from Retail Clerks Local 555 at the age of 54.

Darrell then went to work for Coos Head Builder’s Supply for 8 years before fully retiring at the age of 62.

Darrell married the love of his life, Silva Jean Taylor, November 30, 1968 at the First Baptist Church in Coos Bay. Darrell loved spending time camping, traveling, working in the yard, and spending time with family and friends.

He accepted Christ and became a Christian at the age of 37. Darrell was very active at the First Baptist Church, where he served and attended for 20 years, before attending the First Presbyterian Church in North Bend for 15 years. For the last 19 years, Darrell attended Bandon Christian Fellowship and Riverview Christian Fellow-

ship. Darrell loved the church family and loved to attend church events, picnics and retreats. One of Darrell’s highlights was a pilgrimage to Israel 17 years ago.

Darrell is survived by his wife of 54 years, Silva Bennet; his cousin, Mary Lou Lembezeder; six children, Jeff and Donna, Julie, Curt and Cheri, Brian and Tami, Randy and Lori, and Kelly and Chrissy; daughter-in-law, Teresa; 8 grandchildren, Kelli, Daniel, Bailey, Haley, Gavin, Darby, Teagan and Teya; and two great grandchildren, Mackenzie and Cassidy.

He was preceded in death by his great grandson, Conrad Womack.

The family would like to express their appreciation for Pacific Home, Health & Hospice. Without their help, it wouldn’t have been possible for Darrell to receive care at home.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Darrell’s name may be made to Riverview Christian Fellowship, 64253 Solari Lane, Coos Bay, OR 97420 for the Mexico Orphanage.

Aaron Neil Allison, age 42, of North Bend, Oregon, died October 16, 2022. Due to his sudden death, family needed time to grieve their great loss. Aaron was born on August 4, 1980 to parents, Darin and Peggy Allison.

Aaron lived most of his life in North Bend with his sisters, Amanda and Ashley. Growing up, when people would see Aaron and his friends around town, they would say “they’re all boy” which his father and Uncle David remember with laughter and smiles. Many of the friendships lasted and they were there for Aaron unconditionally. Aaron attended North Bend schools and graduated from Marshfield High School. He enjoyed working in the restaurant industry and at Bay Area Athletic Club, where his father

worked for many years. Aaron met Michelle Houk, and together they welcomed their son, Tharon Neil, who enriched their lives. Aaron was extremely proud of carrying on the family legacy in using the middle name Neil, held by his grandfather, father and himself. Aaron called Tharon his best friend and treasured the time they spent together. Aaron had a son, Jordan Jones, who he loved and longed to have a relationship with. People who knew Aaron knew his sons were his world, as it was apparent how much he loved and adored them.

Aaron’s passions included basketball, knowledge of cars, enjoyment of music and he was a movie buff. He enjoyed his family, his friends, spending time laughing and having a good time with loved ones whom he cared for deeply. Aaron came from a family with faith, he believed in the Lord and had accepted him into his life. Aaron and Darin shared scriptures from the Bible, Psalms was Aaron’s favorite and his faith helped him through life’s challenges.

Aaron had a great love, admiration and respect for both of his grandmothers, Dawn Clemmer and Pat Allison. The strong bond

Aaron had with them was never broken and it’s a cherished memory that Aaron’s family shares with each other.

A religious burial was held at Sunset Memorial Park with close family members and a celebration of life was held at Sunset Beach with family and friends.

Aaron is survived by his father, Darin (Dixi) Allison; his mother, Peggy (Bill) Ellwood; his sons, Tharon Allison and Jordan Jones; his granddaughter, Mila Allison; his sisters, Amanda (Kirk) Warren and Ashley Allison; his nieces and nephews, Emily, Kirk Jr., Jason “Champ”, Wyatt, Alaska, Aavyn and Alijah. He was proceeded in death by Tharon’s mom, Michelle Houk; his grandmothers, Dawn Clemmer and Patricia Allison; his uncle, Gerald Clemmer; and his cousin, Derik Guidry.

Aaron will be greatly missed by his parents, aunts and uncles, so many cousins and friends. He was a blessing to all of us. In conclusion, Darin would like to share these words “As you look down from heaven, Aaron, you will feel my heart, which says, you are always with me son. I see your face, feel your presence, and you are forever in my heart. We will be together again someday.”

Dear Abby: — DONE WITH IT IN COLORADO

I've been in a relationship with my partner (we're both male) for more than four years. He argues nonstop about everything from politics to why the squirrel outside ran across the street. Daily, I hear him complain about everything, from the news to the grocery list, laundry, you name it. A friend of mine will be in town this weekend. He invited my partner and me to a football game. When I shared this with my partner, he immediately declined, complained about the invite and said he'd rather stay home. I've had it up to here with his negativity, and I have decided to end this relationship. I'm not happy with this, and I have decided that if my out-of-town friend wants me to start a new life with him, I would be all for it. I'd rather be happy and not have to deal with this. Life is too short. Your thoughts?

Poetry Reading Featuring Carey Taylor, Kelly Terwilliger & Connie Soper from Airlie Press 1 pm, April 15th

North Bend Public Library

On Saturday, April 15, 2023 at 1:00 PM the North Bend Public Library, in partnership with Airlie Press, will be hosting a poetry reading entitled “Airlie Press Presents: Poetry from the Pacific Northwest.” The reading will feature PNW poets Carey Taylor, Kelly Terwilliger, and Connie Soper who will share selections from their latest works. Carey Taylor is the author of The Lure of Impermanence. She is a Pushcart Prize nominee and winner of the 2022 Neahkahnie Mountain Poetry Prize for her poem “Birthday Fires.” Carey currently lives in Portland, Oregon, but as a child, she lived at the Coos Bay Lifeboat Station in Charleston, Oregon. She has said that the years she spent on the Oregon coast were instrumental in instilling in her a sense of place, which is a theme that frequently appears in much of her poetry. Kelly Terwilliger is also a Charleston native. Her childhood home overlooked Joe Ney Slough, and she spent her childhood roaming the local beaches, mudflats, and tidepools with her marine biologist parents. She has lived in Eugene for the past 25 years but still considers the coast her home. She is the author of two collections of poems - Riddle Fishhook Thorn Key and A Glimpse of Oranges. Kelly is a former editor and author with the Airlie Press poetry collective. She currently works as a writer, storyteller, and artist-in-residence in public schools in Oregon, and she is also working on a new collection of poetry and a video library of oral stories. Connie Soper grew up in Coos Bay and spent her childhood visiting the beaches of the Oregon coast. She hiked the Oregon Coast Trail in its entirety over three summers and wrote about her experience in her nonfiction book Exploring the Oregon Coast Trail. Connie Soper is a poet and hiker who finds inspiration from time spent in nature, specifically near the ocean. Her first book of poetry A Story Interrupted invites readers to “wander the trails of Oregon's lush and fertile forests, and to celebrate its beaches, coastal cliffs, and headlands.” For more information about this event, contact the library at (541) 756-0400 or email nbservices@northbendlibrary.org.
