North Bend Adopts Strategic Plan for Houselessness

By RYAN HOOVER Country Media,

Inc.

The City of North Bend City Council adopted its first strategic plan for houselessness on Tuesday, April 18.

The draft plan was created by the Coos County Coordinated Office on Houselessness, a housing coordination center mandated by House Bill 4123. House Bill 4123 provided eight pilot regions

around Oregon with $1 million to use toward improving their housing services coordination. The bill also required the creation of a strategic plan to address houselessness.

Rural Development Initiatives, an Oregon-based non-profit providing services to rural communities, helped the Coordinated Office on Houselessness prepare the strategic plan.

Andrew Brainard – Director of Coos County Coordinated

Office on Houselessness –and Jennifer Groth – Director of Policy & Partnerships at Rural Development Initiatives – presented the plan to City Council on April 17.

“The Coos County Coordinated Office of Houselessness has been created, which was part of the requirements on House Bill 4123,” Groth said. “And it has been staffed.”

In preparing the strategic plan, the Coordinated Office on Houselessness spoke with

over 60 people who they defined as stakeholders, including people who are currently unhoused, people who provide services to the unhoused, and people looking at pathways to permanent housing, among others.

The office also conducted two workshops and a community survey of about 200 people “to try and get some consensus,” on community priorities, Groth added. Key information from

Coos Bay Farmer’s Market season is starting

By BREE LAUGHLIN The World

The Coos Bay Downtown Farmers Market is turning 23 in 2023.

This year, the market will be featuring longtime favorite vendors, as well as some brand new ones.

The market will be open from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Wednesday between May 3 and Oct. 25. Market vendor booths are situated along Central Avenue between 101 South and 3rd Street.

“We have grown a lot. We originally started with about a dozen vendors, and last year we had 168 approved vendors,” said Coos Bay Downtown Association Farmer’s Market Manager Melissa Hasart.

“We also have four brand new farmers coming to the market this year, and they are local. So not only will returning farmers be here, but also new ones,” she said.

Housing Production Strategy Adopted by City Council

By RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

The Coos Bay City Council accepted the 2023 Draft Housing Production Strategy (HPS) on Tuesday, April 18, adopting the draft for future use. The plan’s adoption comes nearly a month after the city’s planning commission approved the draft.

The draft was presented by both Carolyn Johnson –the Coos Bay Community Development Administrator – and Tim Wood – a Project Manager with the publicsector consultant FCS Group –at the Tuesday night meeting. Wood and FCS Group were brought in to consult on the Housing Production Strategy, which are required by the state for cities of over 10,000 people.

The Housing Production Strategy is meant to address the city’s housing needs identified by the Housing Needs Analysis, a study conducted by the city in 2020 and finalized in July of last year. Key findings from the Housing Needs Analysis included that Coos Bay is projected to add 1,244 people by 2040, 26.5% of renters are severely rent burdened and spending over 50% of their income on

rent, and 369 manufactured housing units are needed over the next 20 years for Coos Bay.

Council Members discuss, approve draft Wood applauded The City of Coos Bay for the recent policy actions that have been taken to address housing needs, which the Housing Production Strategy would build upon.

“That set of slides that shows the recent list of accomplishments by the city is the longest list I’ve seen,” Wood said. “Very few of those are easy to accomplish, and many are quite difficult. So, it’s a testament to staff, to this Council. It’s a testament to Coos Bay.”

Council Member Drew Farmer told the council he leaned towards accepting the plan but not adopting it because he was under the impression it was based on the 2020 Housing Needs Analysis, which was revised and replaced by the 2022 Housing Needs Analysis.

“I lean towards accept but not adopt,” Farmer said.

“My concern with the plan is that it’s based on the 2020 Housing Needs Analysis. We already know it’s based on

material that over-assumed the 400 housing units needed and overlooked the impact of vacation rentals.”

Tim Wood responded by adding that the Housing Production Strategy took both the 2020 and 2022 Housing Needs Analyses into account.

“We looked at both,” Farmer said. “Certainly, we are drawing from both. We emphasized 2020 since it was adopted, but the bottom line is that both played a factor, and we considered both.”

Another councilmember stressed the importance of moving forward with the Housing Production Strategy as soon as possible so that housing can be available for new workers.

“With 700 jobs to fill and what we’ve heard from the hospital, it’s critical that we move,” the member said. “We

can’t just kick this can down the road for a year, we’ve got a problem. Does this pave the way to help us streamline the process and get housing in production?”

Mayor Joe Benetti added that the process for housing production had been started, but that the plan before them would certainly help that process.

“I think we are moving forward, but this would help facilitate that further,” Mayor Benetti added. “For instance, the tax abatement and zero lot lines can be addressed through this plan.”

Carolyn Johnson added that adopting the resolution would enshrine the city’s commitment to providing more housing.

“I think adopting the resolution memorializes your

the strategic plan includes survey data and community defined priorities around houselessness.

“It took us decades to get here, and hopefully it won’t take us decades to fix this situation,” Mayor Jessica Engelke added. “But I think having a coordinated response could help. That’s where I see it.”

The City Council unanimously voted to adopt

the historic heart of downtown Coos Bay to explore, shop, mingle and eat during the local farmer’s market each week.

The open-air market offers fresh local fruits and veggies, farm favorites of honey and eggs, homemade baked goods, jams and candies – as well as freshly prepared bites to eat at the food court.

Local artisans will be offering handcrafted gifts and other treasures, as well as value-added products.

“Value-added products take things grown at the farm and make a product out of

them, such as herbs that are turned into spice blends, or sheeps’ wool that has been turned into yarn,” Hasart said.

The market also has community and nonprofit partners that come to the market each week.

“We really consider ourself a Farmer’s Market family,” Hasart said.

Hasart said she is excited to welcome a new part-time market assistant to the market family, Jessica Church.

Church said she’s looking forward to becoming a part of the local farmer’s market.

“It helps keep money in this local area and fosters a sense of unity in the community,”

Church said. “It’s just a positive thing all around.”

This season, the farmer’s market will be offering a lot of the things that had to be downsized, or taken away, during the pandemic. But the market is still required to follow health and safety protocols, Hasart said.

This year, there will be product sampling (adhering to guidelines) demonstrations, music, entertainment and children’s programs.

Food accessibility is also important to market organizers. The Coos Bay Downtown Association’s food accessibility program works to make sure that everyone in the community has access to farm fresh fruits, vegetables and basic food items needed for a healthy and nutritious diet.

They offer a SNAP / EBT program with a $20 Double Up Food Buck match for fruits and veggies. WIC and Senior Nutritional vouchers are also accepted at the farmer’s market. Hasart said she is happy to answer any questions about how these programs work.

The Coos Bay Downtown Association is still accepting vendor applications. Vendors are not required to be present at the market for the entire season.

The market is also looking for volunteers and can be flexible with the amount of time volunteers can be available. Musicians interested at playing at the market can enquire with So It Goes Coffeehouse, which is in charge of musical performances this year.

The local market has a Facebook page, Coos Bay Farmers Market. There is also information available on the Coos Bay Downtown Association Website www. coosbaydowntown.org.

My Turn

The most important decision in decades

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

A year and a half ago, things were chaotic in North Bend. There really is no other way to say it.

The police chief and captain had just walked out on the city, saying they could no longer work with City Administrator David Milliron. Some in the community were calling for Milliron to be fired, there were threats of lawsuits against the city, and the word on the street was that morale in the police department was extremely low.

I remember that time clearly, and I also remember clearly when Milliron announced the new police chief – Gary McCullough. When I heard that name, my first thought was simple – it was a perfect choice.

In Coos County, there are few if any law enforcement officials who have the reputation and respect McCullough did then and does today. Just months before he was named the chief in North Bend, McCullough had retired as police chief in Coos Bay.

That first retirement came after serving 25 years in Coos Bay, working in virtually every department and holding every rank before serving as chief for 11 years.

I interviewed McCullough weeks before that retirement, and the one thing that seemed certain was he was not coming back.

He had plans to travel with his wife, visit family and, basically, walk away from law enforcement. It turns out one of those early breaks was a hunting trip with Cal Mitts. McCullough and Mitts had worked side by side in Coos Bay virtually every day for 26 years. Mitts retired as a captain a few months before McCullough did, and they were strong friends.

On that hunting trip, they each received a phone call from Milliron. He wanted to hire them as a pair –McCullough and chief and Mitts as captain. At the time, Milliron told me that would give Mitts an opportunity to show he was ready to be a chief. If I had been asked at the time, I would have bet against McCullough coming out of retirement, but listening to his wife talk last week, he felt he had no choice. Lori McCullough said when he talked to her about it, she felt the same way. Her husband had to take the job, he had to come in and help the city they call home.

And the day Milliron announced he was hiring McCullough and Mitts

changed everything in North Bend. That is not hyperbole.

The officers in the police department instantly took a deep breath. The other departments in North Bend instantly took a deep breath.

And after McCullough and Mitts spent so long building their reputations in Coos Bay, coming out of retirement to help North Bend sent a powerful signal to anyone questioning the direction the city was moving in.

McCullough initially agreed to serve a year and stayed on for six more months. In that time, his department went from one in turmoil to one officers want to serve in.

McCullough and his steady presence, his demand that customer service be a priority every day and his willingness to make hard decisions, turned the department completely around.

And just like it had been in Coos Bay for so long, McCullough did it with Mitts by his side. While McCullough was the public face of the North Bend Police Department, Cal Mitts was the man working closest with officers.

His role in the process cannot be overstated. Mitts was as important in the changes as McCullough was. My guess is neither man would have come back without the other. And together, they turned around North Bend.

Last week, McCullough retired again. This time, he says it’s for real. At the same time, Mitts was named chief, a title he has more than earned. With Mitts now in charge, and his longtime friend just a call away, the North Bend Police Department remains in the best of hands.

One decision, two men who came out of retirement, and a police department that has done a U-turn in 18 months has changed North Bend. In my view, that one decision by Milliron and the two law enforcement veterans, might be the most important decision in North Bend in decades. And I don’t think that’s overstating it.

EMS services need more

Insufficient reimbursement for EMS care and lack of federal investment in EMS are long-term problems that have been building for decades. The additional burdens placed on EMS systems and personnel during the pandemic exacerbated the challenge, pushing many EMS systems in our country to the breaking point. Most communities are facing crisis-level shortages of EMS personnel, and many communities have seen EMS agencies close altogether, removing this critical community lifeline. The shortage of EMS personnel threatens to undermine our emergency 9-1-1 response infrastructure.

The 2022 Ambulance Employee Workforce Turnover Study by the American Ambulance Association (AAA) and Newton 360 - the most sweeping survey of its kind involving nearly 20,000 employees working at 258 EMS organizations - found that overall turnover among Paramedics and EMTs ranges from 20-30% percent annually. The exodus of EMS personnel from the profession is happening faster than they can be replaced, compromising our ability to respond to healthcare emergencies, especially in rural and medically underserved parts of the country. Also in 2022, a national survey on EMS workforce engagement and satisfaction found that 9% of respondents had plans to leave the profession within the year, and 18% planned to leave within 3 years. Another 18% planned to be gone within 6 years. In total, 45% of EMS respondents plan on leaving the profession within 6 years. When asked why they planned to leave, 47% of respondents said for better pay and benefits. 77% of EMTs make under $40,000 a year; 68% of paramedics make between $42,000 and $80,000 a year. 62% of EMTs work more than one job, while 58% of paramedics do. And, 50% of respondents said they were leaving for a better worklife balance, a response that highlights the strain that so many EMS practitioners have been under due to workforce shortages, long hours, and the demands of their jobs.

Thanks to all who helped Charleston

This letter is to inform the public that the Charleston Community Enhancement Corp. has filed for dissolution of its nonprofit status as of April 20. All funds remaining will be donated to existing nonprofit corporations and associations.

The officers would like to thank all of the folks who have assisted us in the past twenty plus years volunteering. You have helped to improve Charleston with benches and picnic tables in the marina, the banners along Boat Basin Road, funding of Charleston trash cleanup projects, food bank donations, and of course the annual Oyster Feed. Volunteer organizations, no matter how small, make the world a better place to live in.

Thank you

I appreciate The World’s coverage of the recent Coos County Commissioners’ meeting. That is what a local newspaper in a healthy democracy should do. I also appreciate Commissioner

Rod Taylor’s ability to change his mind when presented with facts. That is what our representatives should also do. Thank you.

Why the North Bend school board needs Charlotte Hutt

Charlotte Hutt is a person with a passion and excitement for education. She understands the struggles of students and administrators. She knows how to find solid solutions that benefit both.

I met Charlotte at Rogue Community College, in Grants Pass in 2003. She was head of the mathematics department.

I was in my 40’s and attending college for the first time.

Charlotte was a guest speaker in a one of my classes. Her big, cheerful smile, along with her, exuberance for learning, captivated many of us. Charlotte explained that many of us struggled with math, not because we were incapable of learning, but because we have not been taught in a manner that we understood. Charlotte gave me hope that I could really understand algebra. At that moment she became my mentor.

The following term I took Charlotte’s math class. I set a goal to earn a 98% or better. With her unwavering help and a lot of studying I accomplished my goal. Charlotte’s encouragement and joyful approach to mathematics gave me the foundation I needed to excel in all my classes. Not just mathematics.

On campus, Charlotte’s door was always open, whether a students had a mathematical question or an academic conundrum.

Charlotte’s educational and administrative experiences have more than prepared her for a position on our school board. Her enthusiasm for learning and compassion for students make her THE choice for our school board.

I support these candidates

Many of you know that I’ve been involved with North Bend School for decades. With the upcoming special election on May 16, I’ve had a chance to meet with several North Bend School board candidates. I feel it’s very important to elect these three moderate, dedicated and thoughtful candidates.

Nathan McClintock (position 1) has lived and worked as an attorney in the area for over 30 years and has several children currently in the school district. He was a toptwo finalist to replace a board retiree this last fall when the current board decided not to fill the vacancy. Now he is running for a board position.

Hira H. Qadir (position 3), a mother of three outstanding NB students, is an OSU graduate who has volunteered in many positions in our schools. She is supportive of our teachers and classified employees and brings diversity to our board. Hira has the time to dedicate fully to the board position.

Charlotte Hutt (position 7) is an OSU grad with over 30 years of public-school teaching (math). She has served on negotiations teams and many school improvement committees. Now retired, and having time to serve the community, she wants to give back to a district that served her children well in the past.

These three candidates have no political agendas – just a sincere desire to improve the lives of our North

Bend students. Please join me in voting for them when mail-in ballots come to your homes in late April.

Time to decide

Time has come for you to make a decision, do you want to continue to over pay taxes to Hauser Rural Fire District or reduce the tax bill to cover actual expenses of the district.

In the past year (2022) there were 323 alarms, with an average response of 2 to 4 volunteers. 98 of these occurred for nonresidents of Hauser, accident that occurred in the dunes and required medical transportation out of the dunes, motor vehicle accidents, medical aid to nonresidents camped in the area, and people living outside the Hauser Fire District. This is 30% of the alarms responded to, with no effort to recover the cost.

2007 the Board of Director passed two Ordinance related to collection of fees for, motor vehicle accidents, medical alarms to nonresidents camped in the area, and people living outside the Hauser Fire District this has not been done for the last several years costing tax payers as much as $25,500.00 a year.

This is why I’m running for position #3 on the Board of Directors, I will work to reduce unnecessary over taxing and the collection of these fees.

Remember as a resident of Hauser you can display your opinion with the election of May 2023, and by attending the budget meeting May 15, 2023.

Good news in North Bend

Would The World deepen reporting around North Bend’s Annex project?

The most recent and wonderful news is that our US representative, Val Hoyle, has requested funds for this project from the Appropriations Committee for $4 million. It’s still an *ask*, meaning we could get all, some or none. That said, this feels like a huge step into the light for addressing the needs of not only North Bend, but all the small cities dotting our rural areas in Oregon. It often seems like the spotlight for affordable housing only shines on those who need full subsidies, but we all know the need for affordable housing includes everyone from blue collar work, family wage and up. This support from Rep Hoyle tells us that we can gain the attention of all levels of our government.

This is Hoyle’s list for Oregon (note a few of our neighbors are in there, too!) https://hoyle.house.gov/services/FY24appropriations

A memorial mass will be celebrated for Dorothy Alice (McGrath) Breitmeyer, 100, of Coos Bay, at 11:00 a.m., Friday, May 5, 2023 at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church, 2250 16th Ave., North Bend, with Reverend Jorge Hernandez presiding. Dorothy passed away peacefully on December 23, 2022.

Dorothy was born in Detroit, Michigan, on August 15, 1922, to Joseph and Alice (Selvidge) McGrath. She grew up during the Great Depression, and watching her parents manage the family’s limited finances influenced her greatly throughout her life. She graduated from Western High School in 1941.

In 1940, she met Bill Breitmeyer on a blind date. They were married on July 18, 1942, and enjoyed 69 years together. Shortly after their marriage, Bill enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. During the war, she worked as a secretary in the naval shipyards. She also worked as a secretary for a lawyer and for Evans Products Co. in Detroit.

Following Bill’s discharge, the couple purchased a house in Redford Township near Detroit. Dorothy was a devoted homemaker, wife and mother to their two children.

In 1983, Dorothy and Bill moved to Coos Bay to be near their daughter and grandchildren. She was always available for her

grandchildren, helping out at school, with 4-H and with many other projects. Influenced by her English heritage, Dorothy was always ready with a tasty meal, and enjoyed hosting her family for Sunday dinner even into her 90s. Dorothy was an active member of the Coos Bay Garden Club, the Marine Corps League and Holy Redeemer Catholic Church.

She was predeceased by her parents; her sister, Winnie; and her husband. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Cricket and Doug Soules of Coos Bay; son and daughter-in-law, Bruce and Kristina Breitmeyer of Glens Falls, NY; grandson, Luke Soules of San Luis Obispo, CA; granddaughter, Rebecca Soules of Harrodsburg, KY; sister-in-law, Mary Pollock of Cocoa Beach, FL; and many nieces and nephews.

The family expresses their thanks to everyone who offered their kindness to Dorothy in the last months of her life, including South Coast Hospice (especially Li Ming, Tasha and Trey), Karla Rogers and the staff at Almost Home. They also appreciate the assistance offered by Coos Bay Chapel at the time of Dorothy’s death.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Marshfield Pioneer Cemetery or South Coast Hospice.

NB boys, Coquille girls win county titles

By JohN GUNTher For The

World

North Bend’s boys and Coquille’s girls easily won the team races at the annual Coos County Meet at Marshfield High School on Friday and Marshfield’s Alex Garcia-Silver broke a longstanding meet record.

The event is the oldest annual high school meet in the state, celebrating its 115th straight year.

North Bend rolled up 214 points to win the boys title, with Marshfield a distant second (159 points) and Myrtle Point next (65).

The girls race was a little tighter, but Coquille won with 188.5 points, to 142 for North Bend, 80 for Bandon and 68 for the host Pirates.

In addition to the team titles, individual awards were presented to the outstanding jumpers, throwers and runners of the meet, voted on by the coaches. Those athletes came from five of the six schools.

Bandon freshman

Marley Petrey was the girls runner of the meet after winning three events. She took the 100 meters (13.26 seconds), the 400 (1:03.17) and the 300 hurdles (49.99) and also finished third in the triple jump, which she has just started learning.

The outstanding boys runner was North Bend’s Jason Padgett, who sped to titles in the sprints but was most excited about an event that includes his teammates.

Padgett won the 100 in 11.41 and 200 in 23.30. He also anchored the Bulldogs to the title in the 4x100 relay, teaming with Nathaniel Folsom, Andrew Efraimson and Brody Justice to win in 44.20.

“The relay is 100 per-

cent the highlight of the meet,” said Padgett, adding the he hopes the Bulldogs can repeat the state title they won in the race last spring.

“That would be the best thing.”

He hopes better individual times in the sprints will come as the weather improves.

Padgett also ran the lead leg on North Bend’s 4x400 team, which ran a season-best 3:30.44 but couldn’t hold off Marshfield’s quartet of Garcia-Silver, Jack Waddington, Elijah Cellura and Bodey Lutes, which crossed the line in 3:28.00, also a season-best.

Garcia-Silver and Lutes provided the top two running marks in the meet.

Running alone for nearly the entire race far ahead of the pack, Garcia-Silver crossed the line in 3:59.74 in the 1,500 to break a meet record previously held by Coquille’s Rob Calley that had stood for more than 35 years.

“The record is good,” he said, though he added he is aiming for 3:55 in the 1,500 and something under 8:20 in the 3,000, his other distance specialty.

“I’m working toward that,” Garcia-Silver said.

He said he was a little tired from a trip during the week to Utah, the state where he will run in college after committing to Brigham Young University.

Lutes, meanwhile, dominated the 800 meters, blazing the two laps in 1:57.30 before coming from behind on the anchor leg to give the Pirates the victory in the closing relay.

Waddington, another member of that relay, did win an individual honor, being named outstanding jumper for the boys.

Waddington won the high jump with a career-best clearance of

6 feet and also finished second in the pole vault, clearing 13 feet (Justice cleared 13-6 for North Bend) and third in the triple jump with a leap of 38-3, about 8 inches shorter than winner Andreas Villanueva of Myrtle Point.

Villanueva also was second in the javelin behind North Bend’s Keegan Young and his Myrtle Point teammate Mason Detzler was named outstanding thrower after dominating his two specialties — the shot put and discus.

Detzler had a big new best in the discus with a throw of 162-10, less than a foot off Matt Buche’s school record and also won the shot put with a mark of 52-9.

The discus throw was a 9-foot improvement from his previous best and the shot put was about nine inches short. He leads Class 1A in both events and shares the top mark for all classifications in the discus and ranks fourth among all Oregon high schoolers in the shot put. The results are the effort of relentless offseason work, he said.

“I was throwing pretty much all winter, like six days a week,” the junior said, adding that he was spurred on by getting a taste of the state meet last year.

“I made it to state last year and I didn’t do very well,” he said.

After Friday’s big throw, he has improved his best by 47 feet in the discus this year.

The outstanding girls thrower also won the shot and discus. Marshfield junior Daphne Scriven had marks of 33-1 ¾ in the shot put and 118-3 in the discus.

Scriven was state champion in the discus last spring and has made strides in both events this year.

“The discus was pretty good (tonight),” she

said, though she was hoping for a mark of 131-5 that would have broken the meet and school records.

The other outstanding athlete was Coquille’s Melanie Lambson, who was named top jumper after winning the long jump with a new best 16-5 ½ and finishing an inch behind teammate Emelia Wirebaugh in the triple jump with a leap of 33-8.

Lambson also was second to teammate Trinidy Blanton in the 200.

The Red Devils won the meet with their depth, especially in the field events.

Blanton won the javelin with a throw of 122-2, a season best, and teammate Callie Millet was second with a season best 115-10. Holli Vigue had a new best of 111-3 to finish second to Scriven in the discus (Millet was fourth) and was third in the shot put.

And in the pole vault Reagan Krantz and Millet were second and third behind North Bend’s Abby Woodruff, who cleared 10 feet to win the event.

Coquille also had a strong showing on the track, finishing second in both relays behind North Bend and also

getting a trio of runner-up finishes from freshman Ada Millet, who was second to Petrey in the 400, to Bandon’s Dani McLain in the 800 and to North Bend’s Ellie Massey in the 1,500.

The latter race featured new bests for Massey (5:08.98), Millet (5:10.49) and McLain (5:10.65). Massey also won the 3,000 (11:38.69).

Coquille got a win in the 100 hurdles by Nevaeha Florez and has the pieces for a run at another state title after winning the school’s first-ever title in a girls team sport last spring.

“I’m pretty excited, especially with the younger girls,” Blanton said. “They’ve all been working so hard this season.

“We’re a special team together. We’re all supportive of each other — that’s a big deal. And we all push each other.”

Blanton only competed in the two events Friday because she had a collision with another athlete during a meet earlier in the week. She was among the top seeds in both the 100 and long jump as well.

“This is my favorite meet,” she said. “I wanted to compete in all four. It was not in my

best interest.”

Other boys winners in the meet were Marshfield’s Mitchell George in the long jump, North Bend’s Folsom in the 400 and Miles Washington in the two hurdles races and Marshfield’s Jaxson Stovall in the 3,000.

Most of the teams also will compete in the Grants Pass Rotary Invitational this Saturday as they work toward their upcoming district meets, which will determine berths for the state championships at Hayward Field in Eugene.

Bandon baseball team remains perfect in league play

The World Bandon’s baseball team continued its unbeaten run in Class 2A1A District 4 with wins over Myrtle Point and Siletz Valley last week. The Tigers also beat Coquille in a nonleague game.

The Myrtle Point contest was a big one since the Bobcats almost beat Bandon in their first matchup. This one was close, too, with the Tigers winning 4-2, the winning runs coming on a two-run homer by Will Panagakis in the top of the seventh inning.

“Will had a great tame,” Bandon coach Mike Hershberger said. “I’m so proud of him.”

Panagakis had four hits, three RBIs and two runs scored.

Colton Siewell held the Bobcats to five hits and struck out 16 to pick up the win.

Bandon edged Coquille 5-4, with Dylan Kamph collecting three hits and Brandon Wilson two hits, including a double. Conner Devine pitched a complete game to pick up the win.

Bandon pounded Siletz Valley 17-2 on Friday for its ninth straight win overall. At 7-0, the Tigers lead the league with Reedsport second at 5-1.

Bandon traveled to Brookings-Harbor for

a nonleague game Monday (results were not available) and travel to Waldport on Tuesday and Gold Beach on Friday.

Reedsport, meanwhile, swept a doubleheader from Gold Beach 8-7 and 7-3 and beat Toledo 17-6. The Brave are at Myrtle Point on Tuesday and Waldport on Friday.

Myrtle Point is 5-3 and tied with Gold Beach for third. The Bobcats beat Waldport on Friday and host Eddyville on Friday in addition to their big game against Reedsport.

Gold Beach swept a doubleheader from Eddyville on Friday (30-1 and 15-1) and is at Siletz Valley on Tuesday.

BULLDOGS SPLIT WITH SPARTANS: North Bend handed Marist Catholic its first Sky-Em League loss in the second game of a doubleheader Friday, beating the Spartans 6-3.

Marist Catholic won the opener 8-1 and also beat North Bend 9-0 in the season opener to take the season series from the Bulldogs.

The Spartans are 5-1 in league play and North Bend is 5-2.

The Bulldogs visit third-place Junction City on Tuesday and are at Cottage Grove for a doubleheader

Friday. They also have a nonleague game at Taft next Monday before closing the regular season with a doubleheader at Marshfield on May 12.

North Bend won the first meeting with the Pirates on Tuesday, beating Marshfield 10-4 at Clyde Allen Field. Marshfield lost both games of a doubleheader to Junction City, 13-3 and 10-7, and will aim for its first league win when Cottage Grove visits on Tuesday, the Pirates’ only game this week.

SOFTBALL

PIRATES SWEEP

GAMES: Marshfield won all three of its games during the week, including handing rival North Bend its first SkyEm League setback.

The Pirates swept Junction City 15-0 and 17-6 on Friday to improve to 6-2 in Sky-Em League play.

Marshfield beat North Bend 11-4 earlier in the week.

“Marshfield deserved this one,” North Bend coach John Olson said. “They made no mistakes and took advantage of ours.”

Tatum Montiel had three hits and four RBIs for the Pirates and also pitched a complete game in the win over the Bulldogs. Makenna Johnson had a double

and single and scored four runs for Marshfield and Faith Hite had three runs. Jayla Johnson scored twice.

Emma Spalding had three hits for North Bend and Erica McClintock had a double and drove in two runs. Sarah Shore drove in the other two. The Pirates host Cottage Grove on Tuesday and have a nonleague game at Glide on Thursday.

BULLDOGS TAKE

TWO: North Bend bounced back from the Marshfield loss by sweeping Marist catholic on Friday, winning 18-3 and 9-3.

Shore had a big day for North Bend, both in the pitching circle and at the plate. She had a single, double and home run in the first game, driving in five runs. McClintock had two doubles and a single and drove in four runs, while scoring three. Spalding had two hits, three runs and two RBIs and Mira Riddle scored three runs. Ally Burgmeier had two hits, two RBIs and a run.

In the nightcap, Mckenzie Breakfield had at three hits, including a home run, and Laila Veloz also had a home run and drove in two runs. Angel Andrade had two hits and Spalding

scored twice.

“We as a team played as well as we have all season,” Olson said. “It was nice to see the girls bounce back after the Marshfield game.”

North Bend is on the road for the rest of the regular season, starting with a game at Junction City on Tuesday and two at Cottage Grove on Friday. The big season-ending doubleheader with Marshfield is May 12.

CLASS 2A-1A DIS-

TRICT 3: Reedsport is second (5-1) and Myrtle Point third (5-2) behind Toledo (6-2) following last week’s games.

Reedsport beat Gold Beach 15-11 but then suffered its first league loss to Toledo (17-8) and has a big game at Myrtle Point on Tuesday and visits Waldport on Friday.

The Bobcats had a busy week, beating Bandon 19-4, losing to Waldport 7-6 and beating Gold Beach 10-3. Myrtle Point, which also lost a nonleague game to Coquille 7-6, hosts Reedsport on Tuesday and Coquille again on Wednesday and visits Eddyville on Friday.

commitment in a more formal way,” Johnson added. “I believe that’s valuable for you in your work with DLC and other communities.”

Mayor Benetti added that the important thing to remember was that the plan could be changed and modified in the future if necessary.

The Housing Production Strategy was accepted and adopted for future use. All Council Members were in favor, and none were opposed.

The 8 strategies

The 2023 Draft Housing Production Strategy included eight recommended policies meant to address the findings from the Housing Needs Analysis. The first two policies addressed continuing partnerships with nonprofits like NeighborWorks Umpqua – which helps with foreclosure intervention and issues grants assisting homeowners with home repairs – and encouraging mediumand high-density development in mediumand high-density zones. Providing preapproved middle housing designs and developing criteria to identify land that can be up zoned were two other policies in the draft. Pre-approved middle housing designs could help speed up the construction of these housing typologies, as design approvals are often viewed as an onerous step in the process. The 2023 Draft Housing Production Strategy also recommended that zoning is clear and objective, encouraging the removal of discretionary or subjective criteria that could be used to deny housing projects. Another policy recommended the development of criteria allowing single units and duplexes on small commercial lots.

The final two policies involved amending the city’s minimum lot line requirements and providing a limited property tax abatement for middle housing and affordable housing. The draft stressed that property tax exemptions can incentivize new development.

Wanda L. Williford, age 87, passed away on Monday, April 17, 2023, after a battle with dementia and other health conditions. She was born Wanda Louise Hughes in North Bend, Oregon, on May 4, 1935, daughter of Eugene T. Hughes and Florence M. Lambert. Wanda graduated from North Bend High School, class of 1953, and attended business school in Oakland, California. She met her husband, John Williford, in 1955 at the North Bend Air Force Station (Oregon), and they were married at her mother’s home in December 1955. Soon after their marriage, John was transferred to California, and for the remainder of John’s time in the U.S. Air Force Wanda followed and supported him as they lived at many, mostly small, Air Force radar sites throughout the U.S., including two years in Colorado Springs and four years in the Philippines.

During their travels, Wanda worked various jobs, eventually beginning a career in banking in Slidell, Louisiana. After moving to Bethel, Alaska, in 1985, Wanda began working for Alaska USA Credit Union, where she was bank manager.

Upon John’s second retirement in 1994, he and Wanda returned to Oregon. They bought a small Victorian house built in 1908 in North Bend, which they renovated and made their forever home, a home that Wanda loved and was immensely proud of. In 1995, Wanda founded Native American Technology Corporation (NATECH), a small business dedicated to finding highly qualified employees to staff government contracts. Today, NATECH is a thriving small business with contracts with

Northop Grumman, LEIDOS, CSSI, and the Smithsonian, to name a few. Wanda was proud of NATECH’s success, especially when it was awarded the Portland District Small Family-Owned Business of the Year in 2019 and the Pacific Northwest Region Small Business Subcontractor of the Year in 2022. With Wanda’s passing, the company will continue the strong foundation she and John built, with their family at the helm.

Wanda was also very proud of her Coos Indian heritage. She was an Elder of the Confederate Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians (CTCLUSI). She was descended from Caroline Evans, who received an allotment from the federal government for land that is now part of Shore Acres State Park. In April 1998, Wanda was elected to the CTCLUSI Tribal Council. She was the first woman elected as Tribal Council Chairperson for the tribe, a position she held from January 2000 until she left Tribal Council in February 2001. Under her leadership, tribal housing was built, administration and health care facilities were established, culturally important Tribal land was re-acquired from the Federal government, and she helped launch the Tribe’s first casino. She was also a strong proponent for the education of our Tribal youth, and she contributed money for scholarships for Tribal members to attend college.

Wanda is survived by three daughters and their husbands, Vicki and Kerwin Faciane of North Bend, OR, Wendy and Bob Garcia of Westlake, OR, and Jacquie and Larry Armstrong of Yuma, AZ; four grandchildren, Cori Kelly

of Aldie, VA, Ashley Faciane of San Diego, CA, Amanda Craig of Bend, OR and John Faciane of San Francisco, CA; and one great granddaughter, Samantha Kelly, of Aldie, VA.

Wanda was preceded in death by her husband of 65 years, John W. Williford; and her parents, Eugene and Florence Hughes. Following her cremation, her ashes will be placed beside John at Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery in Coos Bay. A memorial service is planned tentatively for June 11, 2023 at the CTCLUSI Tribal Hall in Coos Bay. Details to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the following: Confederate Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians Education Scholarship Fund, 1245 Fulton Avenue, Coos Bay, OR 97420.

Also, please be advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while there is a default.

Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL

TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 08/29/2023 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes

through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: • 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR • AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TO-MONTH OR WEEK-TO-WEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’slength transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale.

ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord.

ABOUT YOUR TENANCY

AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE

The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your

agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.

Raymond E. “Ray” Smith

Raymond E. “Ray” Smith passed away at his home in North Bend on April 19, 2023. His wife, Jean had preceded him in death last December. He is survived by his son, Dennis Smith; and his daughter, Carlin Woodall both of North Bend. His firstborn, Edward had preceded him in death.

Ray and Jean had three children, six grandchildren and six great grandchildren. Ray was a loving spouse, having been married to Jean for 76 years at the time of her death. His Christian faith was central to his identity. He was an active member of First Presbyterian Church in North Bend, having served for years as part of their Food Cupboard ministry. He was also a master gardener.

Ray was born in Marquand, Missouri on Dec 12, 1923. He moved to St. Louis in search of work in 1941. There he first

the strategic plan for houselessness. Coos Bay and Coos County must also approve the strategic plan before it is sent to the Oregon Legislature by May 23.

Survey findings

The strategic plan states that the community survey was intended to “elucidate the broader community’s understanding of the causes and impacts of the housing shortage and the effectiveness of services to the unhoused.” To date, over 200 responses have been collected.

The first question asked: “What does homelessness look like

became an active church goer and met Jean, the love of his life.

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, he sought training in electronics so that he could be more useful in military service. He was drafted in March of 1943 and assigned to the Army Air Corps charged with installing and repairing electronic equipment on bombers. He served in North Africa and Italy through the end of the war and achieved the rank of Sergeant.

Ray and Jean were married on March 10, 1946, at their home church in St. Louis. Ray then took advantage of the GI Bill to study Electrical Engineering at Washington University. He graduated in June 1950 and later that year took a job with IBM. In 1957 he was offered a promotion to move to the IBM plant in San Jose, California. That was

your community?” Over 50% of respondents answered that living on the streets and encampments were common signs of homelessness in their community. The second most common response was drug use, which registered nearly 20% of responses. Other top responses included mental health and trash.

The second question asked: “What do you think is working well in addressing the housing shortage and services to the unhoused?” Over 70% of respondents answered that nothing is working well, while over 16% said the Devereux Center has helped. Other top responses included the Coal Bank Village.

The next question

followed by moves to Boca Raton, Florida in 1968 and Rochester, Minnesota in 1975.

In 1979, Ray took an early retirement from IBM at age 55 after completing a major project as one of the senior engineers on the System 38 computer system.

Ray and Jean decided to retire to a small farm in his ancestral home of Marquand, Missouri. This allowed him to return to his roots and cultivate his passions for gardening and fishing. He even kept bees on his farm! He also gave back to his community by serving on the Board of the local hospital and helping to provide an ambulance and establish a volunteer EMT program. Ray served both as an EMT and as ambulance driver.

In 1989, Ray and Jean packed up one more time and moved to Coquille, Oregon so that they could

asked: “How can the region improve its approach to dealing with homelessness?”

The top response was affordable or temporary housing, registering over 33% of responses. Over 25% of respondents said jail or law enforcement would help improve the region’s approach. Other top responses included designating areas for the homeless and substance abuse treatment.

The final question asked how respondents would like to be involved developing community solutions to houselessness.

Top responses included volunteering, donating, and joining a committee, among others.

be closer to grandchildren. The passions for gardening and fishing continued and his grandchildren were deeply influenced by time spent in rural Oregon with grandma and grandpa.

As Ray entered his mid80s, the time came to seek a less challenging regimen. In 2008 they moved to Simpson Heights in North Bend. Family, church, and gardening commitments did not waver in this less rigorous setting. “In all our travels,” commented Ray, “we haven’t found a better place to live than the Oregon coast.”

Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 PM on Sunday, May 7, 2023 at the North Bend First Presbyterian Church, 2238 Pony Creek Road. Burial is at the Coquille Pioneer Cemetery. Online remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at www.

Community defined priorities

Through the various interviews and workshops with community stakeholders, the strategic plan identified 8 community priorities regarding houselessness.

The first community priority was to improve the coordination of housing and houselessness services among agencies and jurisdictions. Jennifer Groth noted that this was the community’s number one priority.

“The first community priority identified was probably the highest priority, which was improving the coordination of housing and

houselessness services

among agencies and jurisdictions,” Groth said. “This came up as the highest priority in the community.”

The second community priority was to develop pathways to support permanent housing and increase workforce housing. Groth mentioned that this was another “top priority.” Long-term strategies include increasing emergency shelter beds, creating a Housing Navigation Center, and providing funding for back rent and application fees.

The third community priority was to increase community understanding of the housing shortage and services to the unhoused. Shortterm strategies include coordinating a centralized communications strategy, creating a FAQ page on city and county websites, and using law enforcement as a messenger.

The fourth community priority was to explore the root causes of houselessness and the economic impact on the lack of affordable housing.

“This is an opportunity for us to perhaps develop some local economic indicators, do an analysis of where we think that problem is, and act on that basis,” Groth noted.

The fifth community priority was to address broader community concerns about public

safety and trash accumulation. Longterm strategies involve adding more community resource officers, creating a community volunteer program that can support their work, and continuing to address understaffing in the Coos County Jail.

The sixth priority was to improve mental health and substance abuse services. Longterm strategies include increasing funding for services, changing the parameters around involuntary commitment for mental health, and providing more transitional housing for patients in the Bay Area Hospital’s psychiatric unit.

The seventh priority was to advocate for community needs related to housing and homelessness at the state and federal level.

“That’s already been happening, but we had some ideas about how those relationships could be improved,” Groth said. “This is about being in the room where it happens.”

The eighth priority was to identify and address racial disparities in providing equitable pathways to permanent housing. Long-term strategies include increasing training in diversity, equity, and inclusion across the continuum of care.
