Landowners claim forestry company clear-cut, decimated property without their

knowledge

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

A lawsuit ﬁled in a Eugene federal court outlines timber trespass, alleged fraud, and elder abuse of an out-of-state landowner concerning 321 acres of forest outside of Bandon. The Yoder family, based primarily out of New Jersey are claiming that North Bend based Pro Forestry Consulting LLC, along with contractors and the beneﬁting sawmill, used a misleading contract to clear-cut their land and abscond with the resulting timber to the tune of $1.7 million.

“In more than 40 years of practicing natural resources law related to the forest products industry, I have never seen such an egregious example of fraud and abuse

Spring prompts coast like a local campaign to protect wildlife

BY LINDA LEE Country Media, Inc.

Coastal communities are bracing for a busy spring and summer, and with it, a heightened concern for the region’s diverse wildlife. Local land and resource management partners have launched the “Coast Like a Local” campaign, urging visitors to prioritize wildlife safety amidst the seasonal surge in beach and trail trafﬁc.

The campaign comes as snowy plovers begin nesting, shorebirds embark on their migrations, seal pups appear on beaches and elk roam near roadways, all during a critical period for these animals.

Ofﬁcials are emphasizing the importance of respecting wildlife boundaries, advocating for a minimum 50-yard distance and strict leash laws for dogs.

Oregon Coastal areas are seeing a signiﬁcant increase in visitors and it’s important that everyone understands how to coexist with coastal wildlife. The goal of the campaign is to equip visitors with the knowledge to navigate the coast responsibly and ensure the safety of both humans and animals. A key component of the campaign is an ad

to convince the public that the only path to survival is through acquisition by a private equity group with a troublingly checkered past? Do we really need to relinquish control of the future of our local healthcare to Quorum for the proposed 30 years or is there a different way to save our beloved institution?

There is, and it all starts with smarter management, local control and better decisions. Coos Bay harbors an enormous depth of talent, a combination of skills which collectively can make our hospital comfortably solvent again, and in doing so reach the level of service and respect it once had before the current administration took over. The following steps outline the local plan to resurrect our ﬁne medical institution:

First, we must elect a new hospital board, ideally with strong medical and business experience. We need a board which will make the correct management decisions without being inﬂuenced by outside or inside factors, opinions or peer pressure. One of the board’s ﬁrst actions will be to engage a

After a four-year absence, Andrew Jackson is back in the Oval Ofﬁce.

Not the actual Jackson, of course. After all, the iconic ofﬁce didn’t exist when he lived in the White House. Instead, his likeness has returned.

President Trump makes no secret of his admiration of Old Hickory. Jackson’s portrait hung there during Trump’s ﬁrst presidency (a loaner from the U.S. Naval Academy). President Joe Biden replaced it with a painting of Ben Franklin when he moved in. Jackson was restored along with Trump 2.0 in January, though it’s a different image.

Something else is different from 2017 as well. Because President No. 45 and No. 47 now shares something in common with President No. 7 that he didn’t during his ﬁrst term.

Would-be assassins marked both men for death.

HOLY COW! H RY: Trump Wasn’t the First POTUS to Dodge a Bullet

The bullet that grazed Trump’s ear while he was speaking in Pennsylvania last July came dangerously close to robbing him of his political comeback. And his life. Few people remember that Andrew Jackson almost became America’s ﬁrst assassinated president. And it was a very close call.

It happened on January 30, 1835. A funeral for a South Carolina congressman had just wrapped up inside the U.S. Capitol, and Jackson was walking out of the East Portico.

Suddenly, an unemployed painter named Richard Lawrence approached. He pulled a derringer pistol out of his pocket and ﬁred at point-blank range. The percussion cap didn’t ignite, meaning the gun didn’t ﬁre.

How did Jackson respond? By bellowing, “Let me alone!” and lunging at his assailant. Lawrence produced a second derringer and pulled the trigger. It also didn’t ﬁre.

The 67-year-old Jackson delivered his own brand of justice by whacking the daylights out of Lawrence with his hardwood walking stick. Suddenly, the attacker was in danger of becoming the victim.

Lawrence was spared when a naval ofﬁcer, joined by Congressman Davy Crockett (of Disney’s later “King of the Wild Frontier” fame), intervened. Jackson was hustled into his carriage and rushed to the White House. He had just survived the ﬁrst known assassination attempt on a sitting

president. Jackson talked about it endlessly at a party that night, blaming his political rivals for trying to eliminate him. But no traces of a conspiracy ever turned up.

That’s because Lawrence was as crazy as the proverbial bedbug. During his trial that April (where he was defended by Francis Scott Key, the author of “The Star-Spangled Banner”), he told jurors they had no right to pass judgment on him. Privately, he claimed Jackson had killed his father. He also said he was English King Richard III and was entitled to payments from his American colonies, which Jackson had somehow denied him. No surprise then that Lawrence was found to be insane. He spent the next 26 years in a mental institution, dying there in 1861.

And what about the derringers? Why didn’t they ﬁre? Nobody knows. Both guns were later tested and worked perfectly, their bullets hitting a target 30 feet away. Experts rated the odds of both pistols not ﬁring at 1 in 125,000.

Andrew Jackson had, ﬁguratively, dodged two bullets.

He completed the ﬁnal two years of his presidency and returned to his plantation outside Nashville, Tennessee. He died there eight years later at the then-ripe old age of 78.

At the time of his death, Jackson was precisely what he had been throughout his life and remains 180 years later: a highly controversial and divisive ﬁgure. And very nearly the ﬁrst in the tragically

long line of presidents gunned down, too. Proving yet again the truth in Harry Truman’s observation, “The only new thing in life is the history you don’t know.”

management ﬁrm specializing in hospital turnarounds. This group would provide an interim CEO until a replacement can be found. We need a replacement CEO who actually shares our town’s vision of the future of healthcare for our community,

also simply the future of our community. Ideally that person can be locally sourced. Skin in the game matters. A second board action would be to negotiate a modiﬁcation of the loan terms with the Bank of Montreal. This $47M loan never should have happened. It was used to buy an expensive computer EMR system the hospital didn’t need, doesn’t work and has cost the hospital

aid in this task. Areas which need rebuilding would be the departments of orthopedics, anesthesia, cardiology, medical oncology and urology, among others. Re-creating these will generate huge revenue streams which have been lost and will greatly help the bottom line.

In an April 1st article titled ‘Coos County Urban Renewal Agency holds crucial discussion on its future’ it was suggested that County Commissioner Drew Farmer was in favor of instituting a new levy to help county ﬁnances. This was a mischaracterization, and rather, he supported an under-levy of the URA’s original taxing scheme, not a new, separate levy.

countless of millions due to system errors. Importantly, BAH has never been in default on this loan as we have been led to believe; it is only in default of the conditions of the loan. It has never missed a payment. No bank wants to liquidate a hospital. First, it’s messy; second, the PR is horrible. A default won’t happen. We can’t be misled by the scare tactics which are being used. Additionally, there are local ﬁnancial institutions which are willing to help the hospital with its loan, once a sound turnaround plan is in place.

Bay Area Hospital has always been a great place to work and be treated. I’ve worked there for over 30 years, my wife has delivered our two children and every member of my family has had surgery there. The hospital has saved my own life not just once, but twice. We’ve had nothing but great experiences with the service and especially the terriﬁc staff. That’s the BAH we’ve all come to know. Somehow though, the hospital’s reputation has suffered recently. This probably comes down to a lack of PR attention, and sadly, poor staff morale due to mismanagement by the current administration. These are easily correctable issues, and once addressed will make BAH the go-to place for medical care that it once was. The people employed by this institution are spectacular. I’ve worked with them all. This is an easy ﬁx. Departments which have suffered under the current administration will need to be reestablished. We have immense recruiting talent locally to

BAH is definitely living in a different business environment than it was 10 years ago. But then, all business climates change over time. Nothing is ever a constant. The key is to adjust and remain flexible and smart. An institution needs to learn to thrive regardless of whatever new set of rules or conditions it confronts. We have leading turnaround experts who feel that BAH, by making smarter decisions, has significant savings available to it without needing to reduce services, cut departments or lose employees. And with the addition and build-up of the services BAH has recently lost, it can easily become solvent and self-sufficient once again. What a lot of people fail to realize is that a “for profit” hospital will cost the local population much more for their care. And the parent company will pull $20 million at least yearly from the community to go into their own pockets. This is money better kept in

Most importantly, if their takeover of BAH doesn’t go as planned, they will close it and sell it off, which would be catastrophic for local healthcare and the Southern Oregon Coast economy. Over its 50-year history, BAH has operated as a financially independent, comfortably solvent, community-owned, non-profit, tax-exempt institution. The reasons for its current issues are not reimbursement problems (which is the narrative the current administration wants us all to believe). Similar hospitals all around the country are doing fine. Bay Area Hospital simply requires improved management and will need to adjust accordingly to the everchanging medical landscape. Concerned Citizens have already contacted an established national medical turnaround group who feel confident that BAH can be back on its feet if managed well. Our hospital and our community deserve another 50 years of independence, and we at Concerned Citizens for Bay Area Hospital are here to make that a reality.

aging by age 70. https://www.nature.com/ articles/s41591-025-03570-5

We are fortunate to live in a place and time that offers every opportunity to engage in healthy aging. Our supermarkets offer a rich array of fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and grains, as well as grain and nut-based meats, milks, cheeses and ice creams. Most fast-food franchises and family restaurants follow suit. Many neighborhoods provide a gym for regular workouts, or a park for healthful walks. All we need is the will to engage in healthy aging and raise that dismal 10% ﬁgure.

‘Leave Wildlife Alone’: Marine mammals, including seals and sea lions, require undisturbed space. Visitors are advised to maintain a ﬁfty-yard distance, ensuring both their safety and the animals.

Also ‘Know Before You Go’: Snowy plovers are particularly vulnerable during nesting season. Visitors should adhere to designated walking areas, typically below the high tide line and on hard-packed sand. Signage indicates areas where dogs, drones, vehicles, bikes, e-bikes and kites are prohibited.

In addition, ‘Leash-Up’: Dogs should be kept on leashes to prevent them from chasing

ﬁrm,” stated the Yoder’s attorney Mike Haglund in a press release.

The lawsuit alleges that Craig and Patricia Richards, who own and operate Pro Forestry, used their connections with Eugene’s Northwest Hardwoods mill—for whom Craig Richards acts as a log procurement manager—to defraud the Yoder’s of the timber on their land after using contracted loggers and roadbuilders to “devastate almost the entirety of the Yoder family property”.

The lawsuit goes on to allege that not only was the project conducted without the permission of the landowners, it was also in violation of the Oregon Forest Practices Act, as the roadbuilding aspect caused creeks used by native salmon populations to be inundated with mud. The suit claims that Pro Forestry and their contractors conducted minimal reforesting efforts leading to an infestation of a highly-ﬂammable invasive species of gorse, showing poor stewardship of the land they were supposedly consulting on.

The $1.7 million they allegedly pocketed came from an estimated 2 million board feet of timber sold after clearcutting over 260

shorebirds, which depletes the birds’ vital energy reserves. This precaution also protects seals and sea lions. Most importantly, ‘Leave No

Trace’: Visitors are reminded to pack out all trash and food scraps, eliminating potential hazards to wildlife and marine habitats.

The Coast Like a Local initiative aims to foster a sense of stewardship among visitors, encouraging them to appreciate and protect the delicate coastal ecosystems. The campaign is supported by a Strategic Advisory Group, comprising resource agencies dedicated to safeguarding the coast’s natural resources and public safety.

This group plays a key role in developing and reviewing the campaign’s messages.

acres of the Yoder’s land.

The claims of elder abuse come from Richards’ alleged insistence that Edwin Yoder (in his late 90’s at the time in late 2022) sign a contract giving Pro Forestry autonomy as the family’s representative in matters involving their timber and land, but was not clear about those powers.

“The Pro Forestry contract prepared by the Richards was so vague as to be clearly unenforceable under Oregon legal precedent. The contract contained no reference to or description of the forestland to which it applied or to the nature of the timber harvest operations that might be conducted, making absolutely no mention of the acreage to be harvested, the logging methods to be used, the projected harvest volume or any speciﬁed time frame for performance,” Haglund wrote in the suit.

The suit claims that Richards then went on to sign multiple agreements with subcontractors without the family’s knowledge or signatures, and went on to stiff multiple of those contractors when payment was due.

Edwin Yoder would pass in spring of 2023, leaving his estate in the hands of his two daughters, who began to question why the estate had not received any money from timber sales.

According to the lawsuit, Richards responded with inaccurate and incomplete information couched in a format that was unreadable to those without extensive experience in timber sales.

This is the second suit of a similar kind ﬁled against Pro Forestry. In 2023, they paid over $100,000

Bandon shoots school record in golf victory

John Gunther For the World

Bandon’s boys golf team shot a school record 292 to win the Oregon Invitational at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club last week.

The Tigers beat Banks by 44 shots to easily win the team title.

Sevren Quinn shot a 2-under 69 to take medalist honors with teammate Peyton Simonds second at 71. Jackson Simonds and Braedon Millhouser were among four players tied for third at 76 and Bandon’s fifth player, Trask Wehner, shot a 91.

The Tigers, who won the state title last year, broke the school record of 302 by another Bandon squad that was state champion, the 2018 team.

“It was a huge confidence builder for the entire team,” Bandon coach Scott Millhouser said in a story on OSAAtoday. “They knew the boys from the 2018 team had the record. Now they realize they’re as good, if not better.”

Quinn, who tied for third at the state meet as a freshman last year, had five birdies on the back nine.

“When he gets it really going, he can go even lower than 69,” Scott Millhouser told OSAAtoday. “He’s got that extra gear that a lot of us don’t have. He can turn it on even more. I think we’ll see even better scores out of him this spring.”

Peyton Simonds, who is committed to play golf for Whitworth University, also has imrpoved.

“He’s one of the best pressure putters I’ve ever met,” Millhouser said. “If he knows he needs to make a putt, I wouldn’t bet against him.”

RV park to help bolster tourism and raise funds.

Some of those proposals included:

- Improvement to the intersection between Highway 101 and the Trans Pacific Parkway, as an increase in traffic can be expected with further development on the North Spit. This could see an additional turning lane and a potential traffic signal.

- Along similar lines, an overlay of the Transpaciﬁc Parkway was suggested. Roseburg Forest Products and Southport Forest Products both use the road for transporting their goods at a rate of over 200 trucks per day. It was also proposed to help ﬁx drainage issues along the parkway, as there is no stormwater system.

- The development of parks is allowed through URA funds. A proposal for developing an RV Park and Campground on the North Spit was made, as suggested initially by Drew Farmer in the last meeting. This would take advantage of land already owned by the Port and could offer a revenue generating solution through collaboration with the county.

- Repairs to the Coos Bay Rail Line swing span bridge was suggested. Built in 1914, the bridge is often

in need of maintenance and sees heavy use from a number of companies. An important piece of infrastructure, the bridge keeps thousands of heavy trucks off the road a year. Since the last meeting, it was made known to the CCURA board through an email from North Bend City Administrator David Milliron that shutting down the agency doesn’t result in immediate funds being available to the county, as it would take a year or more for those funds to be

redistributed. Also, as the amount levied from the school districts was already backﬁlled from the state, $1.3 million of those funds would go back to the state instead of staying here in Coos County.

As a compromise, it was suggested that the County be assigned as administrators of the CCURD and therefore be paid a management fee, allowing them to get an immediate ﬁnancial boost from the CCURD without needing to dissolve it.

“We can have our cake and eat it too,” said Todd Goergen, CCURD Commission Chair. “We can keep the agency, keep those funds so they are working toward their intended purpose: developing jobs and infrastructure and to bring more businesses into our community.

“I don’t think there’s any restriction that the agency can’t prepay management fees in order to front a lump sum of money to help plug some of the issues you guys

have at the county… I’ve talked to people involved with [the mills], and they would like to see the money stay out there and beneﬁt the businesses that have been paying the property taxes out there.” A motion was made to explore this option at the conclusion of the meeting. It is the general opinion of the CCURA’s commission that the agency should continue as the motion passed handily, with the two county commissioners abstaining.

Governor Kotek proclaims April to be Oregon Arbor Month

SALEM, Ore. – Governor Tina Kotek has proclaimed April 2025 to be Oregon Arbor Month throughout the state. This year’s proclamation recognizes the importance to neighborhoods of urban trees as cities add housing and rapidly densify.

The proclamation states that “Trees play an integral role in fostering healthy communities,” adding that urban development and the preservation of trees demands a careful balance.

Governor Kotek said “To protect Oregon’s natural and working lands in the face of the worsening climate crisis, we must build a more resil-

ient future that forges connection across our landscapes, for both rural and urban communities alike. Arbor Month is key to this goal, promoting the preservation and planting of trees across Oregon.”

Her proclamation notes the loss of many trees in Oregon in recent years to wildfire, extreme heat and drought, development pressures and new tree-killing pests, such as emerald ash borer.

Oregon Dept. of Forestry Urban and Community Forestry Program

Manager Scott Altenhoff said “Replacing those trees will require us to pick up the pace not only of

planting but also of ensuring nurseries have the capacity to grow the numbers and types of trees needed that are resilient to climate change and resistant to serious pests and diseases.”

He added that it is equally important to grow and diversify the workforce in urban forestry.

Altenhoff said there is growing recognition, as cited in the proclamation, that the benefits of tree canopy have been unevenly distributed in the state.

“Many low-income areas and those with large populations of people of color have fewer large

shade trees than more affluent neighborhoods. Research has shown that having fewer large shade trees in those lower-canopy neighborhoods is strongly associated with increased deaths from heart disease and poor health outcomes.”

As examples, Altenhoff cited studies showing lack of trees can affect everything from having more low-birthweight babies to increased rates of asthma and mental health issues, as well as higher rates of domestic violence and crimes.

“We are in a much better position now to help communities increase their canopy, thanks to the

Oregon Legislature last biennium providing the first-ever state funding dedicated to support urban forestry so we can help communities have healthy, shade-giving urban forests,” he said. History of Arbor Month Oregon Arbor Month grew out of Arbor Day, a one-day tree-planting campaign in Nebraska in 1872. The event spread nationwide and expanded in many states to a weeklong celebration of all-things tree related. In Oregon, the non-profit Oregon Community Trees lobbied to expand the time devoted to celebrating trees to the entire month.

TheEnduring Inspiration ofAmerica’s GreatestSports Legend available now

“Pre was more than a name – It was a condition.” – Ken Kesey On May 31, 1975, Coos Bay, Oregon native Steve Prefontaine died in an automobile accident. At the time of his death, he held 14 American records in distance running.

Pre was 24 years old and already a legend in Oregon and the world of track and field.

A half century after his tragic end, his remarkable story continues to inspire others on a near mythological level to compete in a multitude of ways. From Phil Knight, to a country singer, to an Iraq War vet, to an impoverished high school runner. To a Man battling addiction, to an obsessed sculptor, to a writer on the verge of suicide, and so many more.

In Never Stop Pre: The Enduring Inspiration of America’s Greatest Sports Legend, Matt Love, prolific and award-winning chronicler of modern Oregon history, races the reader through a decathlon of literary genres to investigate the ongoing phenomenon and

spectacular influence of Steve Prefontaine.

“There has never been a cultural sensation quite like Steve Prefontaine,” said Love. “Over the course of many decades, I kept running into people who were inspired by Pre to change their lives for the better. Pre has a way of doing that like no American athlete before or since.

“Never stop Pre. When he’s no longer relevant in Oregon… Oregon is dead.” Never Stop Pre is a lively 125-page book that breaks new documentary ground on Pre’s remarkable story and introduces the reader to more than a dozen fascinating personal narratives that recount Per’s magic upon people’s lives. It’s a book about a unique sports legend whose short, meteoric life transcended awesome sporting accomplishment. Available as a print or e-book on NestuccaSpitPress.com or Amazon and sold in select retailers around the Pacific Northwest. Local author publishes book

Highland Archery Team going to Nationals this month

Contributed photo The Highland Team shows off their impressive trophy haul!

By Mary Schamehorn As I See It

A headline in a special January 1924 section in Western World reported that two plants are now canning salmon.

“Salmon fishing and packing on the lower Coquille river make up an important industry, the annual product of which is valued at about $100,000. There are two canning plants on the river, one operated by the Prosper Canning Company and the other by the Coquille River Canning (first photo) company.

“Salmon caught in the river are canned and shipped to the large cities. Later in the season, steelheads are caught and sent to Marshfield where they are iced and shipped by rail to Portland. The canned product is shipped out over the bar of the Coquille river by boat.

“The output during 1923 of the Prosper company was about 7500 cases of canned salmon valued at about $50,000 and the output of the Coquille company was 6000 cases valued at $40,000.

“The state maintains a salmon hatchery on the upper waters of the Coquille river which insures a run of fish each year.”

A headline in the June 13, 1946, Western World reads: “City donates Boak tract for new hospital.”

“The choice plot of land near Fourth and Edison known as the ‘Boak’ property has been chosen as the site for Bandon’s new 15-bed hospital (second photo during construction).

This location is near the bluff of the hill north of Fourth Street and west of Edison Avenue, commanding a broad view of the harbor and entrance and the sea north to Whiskey Run.

“The property was owned by the city and Mayor K.I. Franklin and the City Council showed sound foresight and concern for the welfare of the members of this community in donating land to the hospital association.” It was not until 1960 that the new hospital opened at the location, and when it was closed in the late 1990s, the property was sold by the Southern Coos Hospital dis-

trict for a million dollars, with the proceeds going toward the building of the present day hospital, at the east end of 11th Street.

The parcel and several others prime sites at the end of First Street are now owned by the Picerne Group, and according to a developer who looked into purchasing the property, it is now valued at over $15 million.

Several photos, including the third one, shared with me by Bo Shindler, show a portion of the lighthouse jetty, some 400 feet long, which was washed out by the breakers. The story appeared in the Aug. 8, 1911, Bandon Recorder.

“The light house jetty was built only two years ago at a cost of about $4,000 to the light house department and it would appear that it is impossible to build a jetty that will stand against the continual pounding of the sand in that particular place. It will be remembered by people who were here two years ago how close the water came to undermining the dwelling of the lighthouse keepers and only for the erection of the jetty at that time, the building would have been in the sea in a few days.”

* * * I was sorry to learn that Joanne Ellis, long-time resident of Bandon and wife of Bill Ellis, died March 23, having recently celebrated her 90th birthday 10 days earlier.

She and Bill exchanged vows June 8, 1957, and were married 67 years.

Joanne was a veteran, having served in the U.S. Army for two years, being discharged with the rank of sergeant.

Her survivors include her husband, Bill; sister, Ande Lightle Hoffman; daughter, Peggy Hall Donahue and her husband, Pat; son, Gary Ellis; two grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her brother, Ron Hunt, and her mother, Harriet Lightle. A Celebration of life for Joanne will be held at their home the afternoon of April 26.

* * *

At a recent hospital board meeting, I learned that our Chief of Staff, Dr. Philip John (P.J.) Keizer, had lost his wife, Elena, who died of colon cancer March 23 at their Coos Bay home. She was born April 20, 1975, in Izhevsk, Russia and was 49 years old. Other survivors include her children, John Philip Keizer, Julia Keizer and Thomas Keizer, as well as her parents and a sister. She had earned a bachelor’s degree and two masters degrees.

The funeral will be Saturday, April 12, at 11 a.m. at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in North Bend, where the Keizers were married Aug. 7, 2004.

* * The Bandon Police department served a restraining order on a person in Bandon on March 25, and as a result, a large number of dogs and puppies were collected and taken into the care of the already overburdened Coos County Animal Shelter. The shelter is facing a critical situation and urgently needs the support from the community, looking for volunteers willing to care for dogs and puppies during this challenging time. If you would like to help, contact the shelter at 541751-2480 to inquire about donation opportunities, fostering or volunteering.

* * * Bandon Dunes Golf Resort is hosting the 125th US Women’s Amateur Championships Aug. 1 through the 10th, which is expected to bring the best amateur golfers in the world to the Southern Oregon Coast.

People can register for volunteer opportunities such as walking scoring, forecaddying, player registration and more, with a fee of $50, which will include a hat, polo and layering piece. Registration information can be found on the Bandon Dunes Facebook page.

* * Veterans of Foreign Wars post commander Donnie G. Wise posted a letter on Facebook March 28 advising members and the community that they are continuing to lose money in their canteen, being unable to control labor costs. As a result, as of April 1, they moved to an all-volunteer labor force. Taco Tuesdays will be discontinued, with Tuesdays to revert to just bar operations, with a bar menu available. Friday night dinners will be more simple, with Friday night dinners in April featuring a higher quality steak. Karaoke will continue as before on Friday evenings at 7. The bar will

remain closed Wednesdays and Saturdays, and on the other days, the bar will open at 2. Bingo on every other Monday and Thursday will continue, with an extended bar menu available.

* * Food and Faith met last Friday for the first time at the Seventh Day Adventist Church gym, and the new location was said to be a success for the volunteers, and the families and friends who benefited from the community’s generosity and donations. Some 33 families participated the first week, with 96 people benefiting from Friday’s free donation of groceries, clothing, hygiene and minimal household products.

“There will be a grand opening ceremony and blessing by the Bandon Ministerial Association for Food and Faith and the gym on Friday, April 11, at 1 p.m. The church and Pastor Marvin, with the board of Food and Faith, will be hosting the event ... full of hope and promise,” according to Sheila Howe, board member.

* * * Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center is announcing the arrival of Dr. Veronica Simmonds, DO, FACOG, to its multi-specialty clinic. Dr. Simmonds will expand the clinic’s offerings by providing comprehensive gynecology services, including both inpatient and outpatient procedures, significantly enhancing women’s health-

care options in the region. Having called the South Coast home for five years, Dr. Simmonds has served both Bay Area Hospital and Coquille Valley Hospital and now bringing her expertise to SCHHC. She is now accepting new patients. For appointments or more information, call the clinic at 541-329-0154.

So people will understand the ramifications of voting down the jail levy, here are the February jail statistics, which showed that 214 people were booked and 212 were released, with the average in custody being 50 since only one 50-bed jail pod is now open. The stats show that there were 78 emergency releases, which is up significantly from the prior average of seven per month when operating 100 beds. The jail saw a busy February with bookings nearly matching releases and a notable surge in emergency releases tied to capacity constraints since the reduction in available beds. For questions or concerns over the process, people may contact the jail directly at 541-396-7850.

“Your input helps us serve our community better,” said a sheriff’s office spokesman.

* * * The annual Bash for Cash dinner and auction, sponsored by Project Graduation, was held \Saturday evening, April 5, at 6 p.m. at The Barn in City Park.

* * * Parents are reminded that

there will be two Easter Egg hunts this year, one sponsored by the Bandon Lions Club and the other at Ray’s Food Place, both on Saturday, April 19. The Lions hunt, in City Park, starts at 1 p.m. and is for children ages 10 and under.

Obituaries

Joan Marie (Long) Stamper

July 13, 1937 – March 8, 2025

Joan Marie (Long) Stamper, 87, of North Bend passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 8, 2025. Joan will be remembered for her kindness, positive outlook on life, friendly chats, quick wit, and her dedication to the community. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, and friend, and an ardent supporter of the Bay Area community.

Joan was born on July 13, 1937, in Eugene, OR, to Melvin and Marie Long. She spent most of her childhood alongside her older sister Pat in Eugene, where her father owned and ran Long’s Meat Market. During World War II, her father, who was in the U.S Army Air Corp reserves, was called into service as a meat cutter and stationed in Anaheim, CA, on a base where Disneyland now stands. They lived on Balboa Island in vacation cottages rented by the military for families. She and the other kids took a boat to school and ran around the island, playing and swimming in the bay. She said recently she felt a little guilty that she had the most wonderful time during the war.

Joan graduated from Eugene High School in 1955, where she was in National Honor Society and Girl’s League president. She went on to attend University of Oregon as a liberal arts major, which she credited in making her a particularly good Trivial Pursuit player later in life. She joined Alpha Phi sorority, making life-long friends, served as Panhellenic president her senior year, and was in the Mortar Board and Phi Beta Kappa honor societies. She graduated in 1959, moved to Portland to live with three sorority sisters, and worked in an advertising agency, first as a receptionist then as a media buyer.

During her senior year of college, she met Tom Stamper on a blind date. She was supposed to go out with a 6’2” blonde basketball player, but 5’8” brunette Tom showed up instead. Fate clearly intervened. They married June 12, 1960, in Eugene, and spent 63 years together until Tom’s death December 2, 2023. They had a marriage that others admired, always

Alice Baker

Alice Baker, a long time Arizona resident, died on March 19, 2025 at the age of 86. She was a sister, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

Alice was an accomplished watercolorist who loved animals, music, reading and travel. She particularly enjoyed an old-fashioned road trip.

She would like to be remembered on her last day, as having donned a jaunty ensemble, complete with her signature sunglasses, an ice chest in the trunk of her car, and with “Poco” at her side, in his best travel outfit, firing up her “Blue Bomb”, and with eyes wide open, driving her own road to heaven.

Alice is with the angels. She was loved.

treating each other with kindness and respect.

They lived and worked in Portland for two years, living on Tom’s salary and saving Joan’s so that they could quit their jobs in September 1962 and spend three month traveling Europe, using “Europe on $5 a Day” as their guide. It sparked a life-long love of travel that included trips to Japan, Tahiti, most of the U.S. states, many National Parks, and to Europe several times.

They moved to Coos Bay, OR, in December of that year so Tom could join the family business, Stamper’s J & J Tire Co., and work with his father, Jack Stamper, and brother, Charles “Chuck” Stamper. For several years they lived in the 10th Street basement apartment of Jack and Florence Stamper’s house. Joan described Florence as “the nicest mother-in-law ever.”

Joan got involved right away and became a leader in the community.

She worked in the admissions office of Southwestern Oregon Community College for two years, was a member of P.E.O Chapter AS for more than 50 years, serving a term as president, and joined the Bay Area Hospital Auxiliary in 1976 to volunteer at the information desk for more than 40 years, serving a term as president during her 11,850 hours. She served on the North Bend School District Budget Committee in the late-1970s following a district-wide closure due to budget constraints.

Tom and Joan had two daughters and built a home together in the Shorewood neighborhood in 1965, with Joan literally painting every board of the beadboard ceiling. For Joan, family came first. She was a dedicated mother, even acting as a Brownie leader for a stint, and sitting through countless dance classes, meets, and games, always with a book in her purse. She encouraged her girls to excel in school,

example, giving her daughters a model of a woman of strong character, honesty, and integrity.

Joan stayed active over the years as an avid walker, swimmer, tennis player, and bicycler, the latter to train for the annual fall bike tours she and Tom began taking in 1986 that took them all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe. She and Tom sailed and raced at the Coos Bay Yacht Club, and cross country skied in the Cascades, including several trips over Presidents Day weekend to ski in to Elk Lake with a dozen other families, spending two nights in the cabins together.

They enjoyed the arts as well, often traveling to see musicals, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and the Oregon Symphony, and were long-time patrons of the Oregon Coast Music Festival. After Tom retired in 2000, they began spending winters in La Quinta, CA, and summers in Sunriver, OR, where their growing family would often join them.

Joan developed deep friendships in her 50 plus years in the Bay Area. She and Tom were lucky to have friends that they thoroughly enjoyed, many of whom also loved to travel both as couples and as families, the kids becoming like siblings.

Joan played monthly bridge with her bridge club, that remained the same core group of women, up until the day before she passed away.

Tom and Joan believed in giving back to the communities that made the business successful. They gave generously, usually without fanfare, often under The Stamper Family moniker. They established a trust for the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon, supported Bay Area Hospital, the Coos Art Museum, helped the Coos History Museum build a new facility, set up a fund with the Oregon Community Foundation to give grants to nonprofits throughout Coos and Curry counties, and countless other philanthropic endeavors.

Joan is survived by her daughters Dana Jackson of Allyn, Washington, her husband, Ted Jackson, and Linda Stamper Boyne of Edwards, Colorado; grandchildren Nick Boyne, Megan Kolesari (Matt), Tom Boyne, and Ashley Jackson; great-grandson Tommy Kolesari; nephews Kevin Robertson, Scott Robertson, and Bill Stamper; and nieces JoAnne Sutherland, Julie Stamper, and Janet Holland. She was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Frank Stamper, parents, Emma Marie (Johnson) Long and Melvin G. Long; and sister, Patricia “Pat” (Long) Robertson. A celebration of life will be held on Friday, April 25, 2025 at 2 p.m. at the Coos History Museum, 1210 N. Front St, Coos Bay. A dessert reception will follow. Joan loved to wear a little color to a funeral, so if you attend, please wear blue or another color of your choice.
