Community rallies around Coos Bay teen after emergency neck injury

By BREE LAUGHLIN

The World

A Coos Bay high school student and his family were forced to suddenly uproot their lives due to a medical emergency last weekend.

The community rallied around Tiernan McCoy, a 16-year-old Marshfield High School student, and his family, while he was being treated in the Intensive Care Unit in Portland, Oregon.

The young community member underwent series of emergency surgeries after he suffered a neck injury during a wrestling tournament over the weekend of April 22.

With a long road ahead, friends, co-workers and fellow community members,

have started a Go Fund Me to support the family through the medical process. The family will likely have to transfer back and forth for several months between Coos Bay and Portland. Both of Tiernan’s parents work in the publicservice sector in Coos County, and have limited funds for travel and other expenses.

Financial contributions are sought to help lessen the burden of medical premiums and for the family to be able to stay close to Tiernan while he remains in Portland for treatment and rehabilitation for his injuries.

Volunteers clean up Highway 101

Dozens of volunteers came out last weekend to help clean up Highway 101 in anticipation of the upcoming tourist season. The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce, The Mill Casino and other organizations helped organize the cleanup to make the entrance to Coos Bay and North Bend look better before the tourist season begins. Five teams - Walmart, US Coast Guard, Bay Area Hospital, City of Coos Bay and Oregon Bay Area Beautification – contributed to the effort, with Oregon Bay Area Beautification winning the trophy for picking up the most trash.

Churches invited to join suicide prevention training

By DAVID RUPKALVIS

For The World

The fight to stop suicide in Coos County is turning to a natural place – the faith community.

On May 12, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is bringing a suicide prevention training to North Bend, with the goal of getting as many pastors, elders and church members to participate as possible.

Pastor Eric Lindsey with First Presbyterian Church, which is hosting the training, said getting churches involved in the fight to stop suicide is a natural mix.

“We have a unique connection to the community

right now with our food cupboard, where we see a lot of families that are in poverty,” Lindsey said.

“From that, we have a lot of connections to the community. Starting with food, people open up to us with other needs.”

Lindsey said as he started talking to many who use the food cupboard, he heard over and over from people talking about ending their life. While churches are natural places for people to turn for counseling, dealing with suicidal people was something new. So, Lindsey said he started looking for community partners.

Lindsey found one with Lance Nelson and the AFSP.

Nelson leads the local chapter, which hosts a Suicide Prevention Walk every year. Nelson said after meeting with Lindsey, he agreed to use some of the money raised from the walk to bring Soul Shop to Coos County.

Soul Shop, the leading provider of faith-based suicide prevention workshops in the United States, is hosting only two trainings in Oregon, one in Portland and the second at First Presbyterian Church in North Bend.

Lindsey said he is eager for the training because he is seeing the need on a regular basis.

“We’re starting to hear things like I don’t know

Meet the Candidates: Coos Bay School Board Candidates

By RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

On May 16, Coos County will hold a special district election for several open positions in local districts.

A number of the open positions are for school board seats in six different school districts, including Coos Bay School District, North Bend School District, Bandon School District, Coquille School District, Myrtle Point School District, and Powers School District.

Coos Bay School District has three school board positions with terms that expire in June 2023. Four people have filed to run for the three open seats, which all have four-year terms.

Kimberly Brick, who currently holds position three on the school board, is running for another term unopposed.

Kevin Dubisar, who currently hold position four on the school board, is running for another term unopposed.

Addie Hutchinson is running for position seven, which is currently held by Dustin Clarke.

Jim Kingsley is also running for position seven. Clarke chose not to seek re-election.

if I can do this anymore,” Lindsey said. “We’ve seen it coming from the position of poverty. We found ourselves in the position and decided we can’t do it alone. It’s imperative for us to partner with folks to be able to care for these special needs.”

Nelson said while it may seem many in church communities are insulated against suicide, the reality is far difference.

“The statistic out there is probably 50% of people sitting in a church on a Sunday morning has a direct tie to suicide,” Nelson said.

Lindsey said having training like that offered by Soul Shop

On April 18, The League of Women Voters of Coos County held a public forum for the candidates to talk about their priorities and answer questions. All quotes included below were taken from that public forum.

Here are your candidates for the Coos Bay School District board positions.

his side,” said his mom Sonia Novak, who expressed she would stay in her car if it meant her son wouldn’t have to stay for long periods in the hospital alone.

Novak said she was looking forward to getting out in the sunshine as soon as she can with her son. She said her son’s wrestling buddies have nicknamed him sunshine because of his friendly and outgoing demeanor.

“He has the most optimistic spirit of

anyone I have ever known and he’s shining right now even in the midst of this nightmare he’s living through,” Novak said.

Tiernan’s family said he is very active. He enjoys surfing and hiking and running. He won a 200-meter sprint in JV track the week before his injury.

The family said they are appreciative of the support of the Coos County community.

Linfield University, respectively, Brick went on to get a degree in Early Childhood Education. Since then, she’s worked with individuals with special needs and served on the State Advisory Council for Special Education.

“I’ve grown up here. I love our community and I’ve always wanted to give back,” Brick said. “Dear to my heart is education, especially early childhood education.”

When asked what relevant skills and experience she brings to the school board regarding education, personnel management, and

judgment management, Brick said her school board experience and work in early childhood education have given her the knowledge and empathy required by the position.

“I’ve obviously been involved with the school board for a few years now. We go through the school budget and approving that,” Brick said. “In my personal and professional life, I’ve worked in early childhood education and for nonprofits. I’ve helped start our early head start program in 2009/2010. I was put in charge of that program, and we put together a wonderful staff. We had to get a childcare center up and running with-

in three months. That taught me a lot to do in terms of budgeting and a lot about what not to do.”

Brick said that she wants to hear from everybody in the community when being a liaison between the community and the superintendent.

“I want to hear and listen to all the kids,” Brick said. “Community members are definitely important in that because we partner with our community. I absolutely love hearing from staff and the community. I get emails and phone calls and we take it all in. That’s how I currently do it and that’s how I want to continue it in the future.”

Brick was also asked how she will address the needs of different students, including houseless students, LGBTQ students, and others. She said her experience being a teen parent and raising three kids with special needs has prepared her well.

“I’ve had the experience of being a teen parent and raising three kids that are special needs. I was also homeless as a child, so I know that being houseless can impact your education,” Brick said. “It’s about individualizing and treating each student specifically how they want to be treated. I call it the platinum rule. We always hear about the golden rule – treat others how you want to be treated – but really, we are all individuals with different cultures and different customs. So, I think learning about that is important. That can be for people of different races or cultures or different parts of the LGBTQ community.”

Letters to the Editor

I support Hutt

To North Bend voters,

I’d like to recommend Charlotte Hutt for the North Bend School District Board.

I’m retired now, but I spent 20 years as dean of Human Resources at Rogue Community College where Charlotte taught mathematics. She was a very effective Instructor, with a supportive and welcoming smile, as she explained to local students the “order of operations” - and other math concepts important to understand in the modern world.

The students, seeking degrees and technical training, were from diverse backgrounds and educational attainment, yet Charlotte was able to effectively contribute to their understanding of mathematics, and help each of them to achieve their goals. Education today is a tough business, but essential for the future of our communities and our economy.

The emerging sustainable technologies will create many economic opportunities and career challenges. I am confident that Charlotte, as a member of the North Bend School District Board, will be a collaborative and effective advocate for Education in this era of rapid technological change.

Tom Bradbeer Grants Pass, Oregon

Vote for Charlotte

I encourage you to vote for Charlotte Hutt for Position 7 on the North Bend School District Board. Charlotte and I were colleagues from 1995 to 2017 at Rogue Community College where we both taught. Our community college operated on a tight budget, and Charlotte, as head of the Math Department, knew how to provide a quality experience for the students without overspending. Charlotte also has experience teaching K-12 and previously earned a Master’s in Math Education at OSU. She is hard-working, bright, and very dedicated to excellence in education for our youth. Oregon’s children need advocates like Charlotte.

Saving reckless banks

Once again, government socialism – ultimately backed by taxpayers – is saving reckless midsized banks and their depositors. Silicon Valley Bank (S.V.B) and Signature Bank in New York greedily mismanaged their risk levels and had to be closed down. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), in return, to avoid a bank panic and a run on other midsized banks went over its $250,000 insurance cap per account and guaranteed all deposits – no matter how large, which are owned by the rich and corporations – in those banks. Permitting such imprudent risk-taking flows directly from the Trump-GOP Congressional weakening of regulations in 2018, which was supported by dozens of Democrats, led by bank toady Senator Mark Warner (D-VA). That bipartisan deregulation provided a filibuster-proof passage by the Senate.

The other culprit is the Federal Reserve. Its very fast interest rate hikes reduced the asset value of those two banks’ holdings in long-term Treasury bonds, which reduced their capital reserves. With the “what, me worry” snooze of the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, S.V.B had little supervision from state regulatory examiners and compliance enforcers. Actually, big depositors sniffed the shakiness of these two banks and acted ahead of the regulatory cops with mass withdrawals that sealed the fate of S.V.B. Imagine, S.V.B was giving out bonuses hours before its collapse. For this cluelessness, the bank’s CEO, Gregory Becker, took home about eleven million dollars in pay last year.

All this was predicted by Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Katie Porter. Warren, in particular, specifically opposed the 2018 Congressional lifting of stronger liquidity and capital requirements along with regular stress tests for banks with assets over $50 billion. Trump’s law allowed the absence of these safeguards to cover banks with assets up to $250 billion. Such deregulation covered S.V.B and Signature.

Signature Bank had former House Banking Committee Chair Barney Frank on its board of directors. His name is on the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which was passed following the 2008 Wall Street collapse.

I support ban I support the ban on single use polystyrene food containers that just passed the Oregon senate. Plastic pollution is a threat to our way of life in Oregon, and every citizen needs to understand how dangerous it is.

Like many others, I spent my childhood hiking the Columbia Gorge with my father. My grandfather taught me to identify Ponderosas, Doug Firs, and Poison Oak. I wouldn’t trade my memories of Nehalem Bay sunsets with my mother for the world. I’m not alone when I say Oregon’s environment has made me who I am. It also keeps us strong as an economic powerhouse. Over ten billion tourism dollars flow into Oregon annually - thanks to our waters, forests, deserts, and mountains.

Environment Oregon found microplastics in all thirty Oregon lakes it tested. Trash is piling up on our beaches, and toxic “forever chemicals” like PFAS irreversibly snake their way into our pristine soil and watersheds. The state tried to ban styrofoam in 2019, but this bill fell apart when politicians proposed finding a way to recycle styrofoam.

Such a system hasn’t begun to take shape. Every second of inaction is more irreversible poison seeping into the environment, and in turn poisoning our economy, history, and identity as Oregonians. Phasing out the use of styrofoam by 2025 is just the start of the conservation efforts we need - but it should be celebrated by everyone who lives here.

Killing fish to save frogs

By TED WILLIAMS Writers on the Range

Shortly after World War II, California fish managers had a brainstorm: They loaded juvenile trout into airplanes and saturation-bombed naturally fishless lakes in the High Sierra Mountains of California. Some of the fish hit rocks and ice, but most hit water. Gorging on zooplankton, insects and two kinds of mountain yellow-legged frogs, the alien invaders unraveled aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, often in designated wilderness.

In 2014, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed both groups of frog as endangered, prompting aggressive action by Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. The agency plan called for eradicating trout in 110 lakes, though trout would remain in 465 park lakes and hundreds of stream miles, leaving plenty of fishing opportunity.

Gillnets would be used where possible. But in 33 lakes, the only option was rotenone, a short-lived, organic fish poison derived from plant roots and applied at 100 parts per billion. In modern fisheries management, rotenone has never been seen to permanently affect a native ecosystem except to restore it. For centuries, Indigenous peoples have used high concentrations to kill fish for consumption. Rotenone only affects gill tissue.

But as early as 2008, numerous anglers, media and local politicians were throwing hissy fits about an effort to protect mountain yellow-legged frogs merely by suspending trout stocking in 175 waters within national forests.

“If the yellow-legged frog disappears, would anyone notice? Seriously. Does anyone really care?” editorialized Feather Publishing in its six newspapers. And Terry Swofford, chair of the Plumas County Board of Supervisors, declared, “To me, this is just another way of destroying our economy.”

When the environmental review process for frog recovery in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks was completed in 2016, it generated plenty of support from environmental and angling communities. But there was still opposition.

Leading the charge against frog recovery via rotenone, and even gillnets, was the environmental group Wilderness Watch. “Poison has no place in wilderness,” it proclaims, wherever rotenone treatments are planned in wilderness.

But the Wilderness Act explicitly provides for the use of poisons to eradicate alien species. Federal permits are routinely issued.

Still, many opponents echoed Wilderness Watch’s false assertion that rotenone is “linked” to Parkinson’s disease. The myth derives from an Emory University study designed to create Parkinson’s-like symptoms, not the disease itself. Concentrated rotenone was pumped into rats’ veins for five weeks. No rat developed the disease, just Parkinson’slike tremors.

Elsewhere in the Sierra, Wilderness Watch had litigated against, and dangerously delayed, rotenone treatment to save native Paiute cutthroat trout that were being hybridized off the planet by alien rainbow trout. Rotenone, it had testified, might harm mountain yellow-legged frogs — which don’t even exist in Paiute-cutthroat habitat.

After 2016, the opposition fell silent, and in 16 lakes cleared of trout with gillnets, ecosystems reawakened. Before eradication, surveys of two lakes revealed 134 mountain yellow-legged frogs and 53 tadpoles.

Just three years later, there were 4,000 frogs and 14,800 tadpoles.

“Once insects and frogs explode, everything reacts,” said Danny Boiano, the parks’ supervisory ecologist. In all 16 gillnetted lakes, he and aquatic ecologist Laura Van Vranken report spectacular recovery of frogs as well as frog predators

such as coyotes, Couch’s and mountain garter snakes, and northern water shrews. They’re seeing huge hatches of aquatic insects along with a resurgence of birds.

Ralph Cutter, who runs a guide service and fly-fishing school, understands what’s at stake even though his livelihood depends on the alien trout. His message: “I would much rather leave a legacy of as natural an ecosystem as possible, rather than an artificial and synthetic landscape designed for the amusement of certain enthusiasts — including myself.”

He added that the “Sierra should not be managed like a pee-wee golf course.” And this from the Native Fish Society: “Each high-mountain lake is a beautiful and unique place and is appreciated for what it is. Why treat them like amusement parks?”

Still, some anglers remain ecologically challenged, knifing float tubes and removing and damaging gillnets.

Rotenone use will begin shortly in 33 lakes. “Our first treatments may rekindle angst, so we’ll need to continue with educational efforts,” said ecologist Boiano. With rotenone, there’s always a fight.

Panthers hand Bandon first league loss in baseball

The World Gold Beach handed Bandon its first loss in the Class 2A-1A District 4 baseball season, keeping the league race tight by beating the Tigers 2-1 on Friday.

The win by the Panthers, combined with Reedsport’s 9-2 win at Waldport leaves Bandon in the league lead at 8-1, with Reedsport at 6-2, Gold Beach at 7-3 and Myrtle Point at 6-3. The top three teams will qualify for the state playoffs, though all four likely will get in with the fourth-place team as an at-large selection if the quartet maintains their high spots in the OSAA power rankings — all are currently in the top 12.

Earlier in the week, Bandon saw a ninegame winning streak end with an error-filled 9-3 loss to Brookings-Harbor on Monday, but bounced back with a 16-5 win at Waldport on Tuesday. In the win, Conner

Devine went 4-for-5 at the plate with a double and triple, four runs and two RBIs. He also pitched the first six innings, giving up six hits and striking out six.

Colton Siewell, Dylan Kamph and Gunnar Alten all had two of Bandon’s 14 hits in a balanced offensive attack.

The Tigers host Toledo on Tuesday and have a huge game at Reedsport on Friday before playing two games at home against Eddyville on Monday and another against Waldport on Wednesday to finish the league season.

Reedsport lost to Myrtle Point on Tuesday 7-2, but bounced back to beat the Irish on Friday. The Brave also fell to visiting Umpqua Valley Christian 13-6 in a big nonleague game Saturday.

In addition to the game against Bandon, Reedsport plays two at home against Eddyville on Wednesday and two at Siletz Valley next

Monday before finishing the season at home against Myrtle Point next Wednesday.

The Bobcats finish the regular season with a flurry of five games in 10 days, starting with Eddyville at home on Monday (results were not available) and Gold Beach at home on Tuesday. They visit Siletz Valley on Friday and host Toledo on Monday before the game with Reedsport.

Gold Beach, which also beat Siletz Valley 14-2 on Tuesday, also has a big stretch of games, following the Myrtle Point contest with a home game against Toledo on Friday, a game at Waldport next Monday and a home game against Siletz Valley on Wednesday. The Panthers also have a nonleague game at Brookings-Harbor next Thursday.

SKY-EM LEAGUE: North Bend fell to Junction City 8-3 on Tuesday, but bounced

back to sweep Cottage Grove 8-3 and 7-5 on the road Friday to affirm its place in second in the league standings at 7-3.

The Bulldogs visited Taft in a nonleague game Monday and finish the league season with a doubleheader at Marshfield on Friday. They trail Marist Catholic (7-1) in the league standings.

Marshfield got its first league win Tuesday, edging Cottage Grove 4-3. The Pirates also have two games at Marist Catholic on Tuesday in addition to their twin bill with the Bulldogs.

SOFTBALL SKY-EM LEAGUE:

North Bend kept its offense rolling with three high-scoring wins to stay in first place heading into its big doubleheader at Marshfield to close the regular season Friday.

The Bulldogs won at Junction City 16-5 on Tuesday and at Cottage

Grove 11-1 and 18-5 on Friday to improve to 9-1.

“Everybody is contributing,” North Bend coach John Olson said after the doubleheader sweep.

Erica McClintock had four hits, two runs and three RBIs against Junction City and Mckenzie Breakfield had a double and home run, three runs and five RBIs. Mira Riddle had three hits and Sarah shore, Emma Spalding and Laila Veloz two each.

In the first win over Cottage Grove, Rylee Samora had two hits and two RBIs and the Bulldogs took advantage of 11 walks. Shore gave up just two hits and struck out eight to pick up the victory.

In the nightcap, Shore had four hits and four RBIs and Riddle had two doubles and drove in five runs. Mia Reynon had two hits and two runs.

Marshfield remained in second place at 7-2 with a 12-1 win at Cot-

tage Grove on Tuesday before losing a nonleague game at Glide 6-3 on Thursday. The Pirates visit Marist Catholic on Tuesday before hosting the Bulldogs and would be league champions with wins in all three games. The Bulldogs would take the league title with a win in either game against the Pirates on Friday.

CLASS 2A-1A DISTRICT 3: Reedsport and Myrtle Point are in good shape to advance to the playoffs with a week to go in the season.

The Brave improved to 7-1 with a 20-2 win over the Bobcats and a 17-4 victory at Waldport last week. Reedsport is tied for first with Toledo, having split the two games with the Boomers, and finish with two against Eddyville Charter on Tuesday, followed with home games against Bandon on Thursday and Myrtle Point next Wednesday.

The Bobcats are third at 6-3 after beating Eddyville 12-2 on Friday.

shire after she retired. Hutchison served on a school board in Amherst for 14 years, and she currently serves on the Budget Committee for the Coos Bay School Board. Before retirement, she worked as a human rights investigator for the State of New Hampshire.

“My husband and I moved to Coos Bay from Amherst, New Hampshire 6 years ago when I retired,” Hutchison said. “I have the privilege of serving on a local school board out

there for 14 years. What I learned was that participation on the school board was the most important and most rewarding thing you can do for your community. The children you touch are our future.

When asked what relevant skills and experience she brings to the school board regarding education, personnel management, and judgment management, Hutchison said her previous school board experience in New Hampshire has prepared her well.

“My skills in school management come

from my years on the school board in New Hampshire,” Hutchison said. “I was the chair for a number of years, I was on the budget committee. In my professional career, I worked with a number of constituents that I think mirror what we find here in Coos Bay. I worked for the Human Rights Commission; I worked in Human Resources at the community college level. That’s where I primarily get my skillset that I would bring to the board.”

Hutchison said she thinks her work for the human rights commission would make her a great liaison between the community and superintendent.

“I actually think my professional history comes well into play here,” Hutchison said.

“As an investigator for the human rights commission, I was daily presented with situations I had to look at, I had to listen to people on both sides, and then I had to make a decision based on what I heard. I think that makes me uniquely qualified in that area.”

In trying to address the needs of different students, including houseless and LGBTQ students, Hutchison stated that expanding partnerships with organizations that provide services to these groups is important to her.

“We are very lucky in our community to have a number of organizations that work with our schools: The Arc project, AYA that works with homeless youth,” Hutchison said. “I would continue and expand our partnerships with those organizations. I would also address kids that learn differently. Not all kids learn the same. Our program has to be flexible so that we can meet kids where they’re coming from. We also have to offer alternative paths to a future. We need to expand out vocational program so that kids have skills to take to the workplace.”

Jim Kingsley

Jim Kingsley has lived in Coos Bay for the last 12 years, working as a school bus driver the last three and a half years. Previously, Kingsley worked in construction and volunteered as a firefighter and EMT.

“I’ve lived in Coos Bay for 12 years. I’ve driven a school bus for three and a half years,” Kingsley said. “I’m running for our children. Things are not going quite the way they should be with too much government intervention in our schools. I’d like to get the schools backs to where they used to be with the three R’s – reading, writing, and arithmetic

– and teaching history and science to give students the tools for survival once they get out of schools.”

When asked what relevant skills and experience he brings to the school board regarding education, personnel management, and judgment management, Kingsley referenced his student management experience he’s gained from being a bus driver.

“I’m not a teacher, but I’ve worked with people who teach and taught classes with recruits,” Kingsley said. “I haven’t learned all the intricacies of the board. I’ve worked with kids and had to exercise student management, which is making sure everyone is safe on the bus.”

Kingsley said his main priority is to keep the students safe and give them the tools to succeed in the real world.

“What I want to do is keep our schools safe for our kids. There’s too much ‘wokeness’ out there that does not belong in the schools,” Kingsley said. “Once they turn 18, they can do what they want. But until then, you’ve got to protect them. The purpose of schools is to give them tools so they can succeed in the real world. That’s what I want.”

In trying to address the needs of different

students, including houseless and LGBTQ students, Kingsley stated that its an issue that has to be dealt with.

“I kind of look at things in black and white a lot. Unfortunately, there are those that are special needs and have problems and all of that. It’s something that we have and always will have,” Kingsley said. “We’ve got to deal with it. The teachers are the professionals, so we’ve got to let them do what’s best for other kids.”

Kevin Dubisar

Kevin Dubisar has served on the Coos Bay School Board for the last four years, with three of those years spent serving on the Facilities Committee.

Previously, Dubisar obtained an associate degree in criminal justice from SWOCC, as well as served in the U.S. Army for four years. In his free time, Dubisar has coached youth sports for the last ten years. Kevin Dubisar did not participate in the public forum.

Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes; has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale.

If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. 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. This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the referenced property. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. 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.

Coos Bay District sells 8 million board feet of timber

The Bureau of Land Management Coos Bay District sold 8 million board feet of timber during an oral auction on Friday, April 28. Boulder Creek Timber of Roseburg, was the high bidder for the “Hungry Mountain Reoffer” timber sale.

The timber sold for $1.7 million. The timber is located on Coos Bay Wagon Road Lands in Coos County.

The BLM manages 2.4 million acres of forests and woodlands in western Oregon. A sustainable forestry program is critical to the economies in western Oregon. The BLM originally

offered the Hungry Mountain timber sale in 2022, but there were no bidders on the contract.

The agency was able to rework the contract to match current timber market conditions more closely.

“The jobs and timber that come from BLM forests are important to the local communities,” said Steve Lydick, Coos Bay District Manager. “The BLM is committed to providing predictable and sustainable timber harvest opportunities.”

Revenue generated from BLM timber sales on Coos Bay Wagon Road Lands are used

to pay an in-lieu tax payment to Coos and Douglas Counties, where the Coos Bay Wagon Roads are located.

It takes approximately 16,000 board feet of lumber to frame a 2,000-square-foot home. One million board feet of timber is

On Thursday, the Lakers had a pair of dramatic wins, 6-5 and 3-2 in 13 innings.

In the opener, SWOCC built a 6-1 lead and held on. Kody Watanabe had two hits and two runs, Jafari Williams had two hits, a run and an RBI and Cannon Morgan and Rui Yamashita each had a hit and two RBIs. Thomas Touchette pitched seven innings, giving up three runs to pick up the win.

In the second game, Linn-Benton got both its runs in the first inning before the Lakers shut down the Roadrunners the rest of the way despite allowing 11 hits.

SWOCC had a run in the second and tied the game in the seventh, eventually winning in the 13th on a walk-off single by Raine Yoshida to score Anu McCabe.

Yoshida had two hits and scored the first two runs for the Lakers.

On Saturday, Linn-Benton won the opener 11-1 and took the nightcap 2-0. Kaden Miller pitched a one-hit-

Faith

is important for faith leaders because people in crisis often turn to churches for help.

“It is natural for them to come here,” Lindsey said. “They do feel safe at a church, even if it’s not their church. It’s not just from the place of poverty. I talked to a few churches, who I hear from, and their membership, their families, they’re just as needy for proper mental health. It always comes back to the same needs. It’s not just poverty, it’s circumstances, it’s experience.”

Nelson said the training is important because it will give tools to church leaders, so they know how to respond when someone expresses suicidal thoughts. Knowing what to say and knowing who to call could be the difference between life and death, Nelson said.

“We absolutely want as many people as possible in the community to attend,” Nelson said. “The

SWOCC suffered its first league loss of the season Tuesday, but bounced back Saturday to sweep Centralia 8-0 and 10-1 and clinch the South Region championship.

New plans for safe wildlife crossings on the Oregon

Watch for Wildlife license plate fees provide project funding

By BREE LAUGHLIN Country Media

When vehicles collide with wildlife it’s bad for drivers and for animals.

Almost 6,000 drivers in Oregon are involved in a collision with a deer, elk, bear or other wildlife species every year.

A new Watch for Wildlife license plate became available for purchase on May 4, 2022, to help raise awareness about the issue and provide funds for safe wildlife crossings. Since its unveiling last year, more than 13,000 plates have been sold.

“Wildlife and habitat connectivity and safe wildlife passage are a priority for the Oregon Wildlife Foundation, so having a source of funding for that is exceptionally important,” said Tim Greseth, executive director of the Oregon Wildlife Foundation.

The Oregon Wildlife Foundation recently announced that funding raised from the license plates would go to two upcoming projects –including one on the Oregon Coast.

The wildlife foundation has been working with a variety of governmental agencies, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, to design the projects.

The Highway 101 Coastal Marten crossing initiative is being formed to help protect Oregon’s coastal population of marten. The threatened species’ habitat occurs along the Oregon coastline from the Cape Perpetua area to the North Spit of Coos Bay.

The populations of

Coast and Central Oregon

this creature along the Oregon Coast is particularly small.

“In a small population, every loss is significant,” Greseth said.

Only 71 adults exist in two distinct subpopulations, which are separated by the Umpqua River. Because there are so few of these animals, experts said every individual is critically important to the species’ continued existence.

“Each of these subpopulations has about 30 animals in them, so if we are losing animals in this area from vehicle strikes it will have really bad consequences for the persistence of that population,” said Michele Zwartjes, field supervisor, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service in Newport.

Although historical trapping, habitat loss, and predation are primarily responsible for the marten’s steep decline, mortality from vehicle strikes is a significant source of mortality to the central coastal Oregon population.

The coastal marten project is still in the design stage, but the overall goal of this project will be to reduce vehicle-related mortality of coastal martens by improving or creating road crossings in areas of marten activity.

“A variety of other species will benefit from these crossings as well,”

Zwartjes said.

The second project being funded by Watch for Wildlife license plate purchases is set to take place in Central Oregon.

The Bend to Suttle Lake Highway 20 Wildlife Passage Initiative aims to improve wildlife passage and motorist safety along Highway 20.

The Oregon Department of Transportation estimates between 350 and 600 mule deer and elk are killed every year by vehicle strikes along this stretch of highway – the highest density of deer and elk wildlife-vehicle collisions in the entire state.

Oregon Wildlife Foundation will contribute $50,000 to the project to help pay for a qualified firm to conduct a feasibility study of the target highway corridor and conceptual designs for wildlife crossings including an overpass at Indian Ford near Black Butte.

The Watch for Wildlife license plate is available for purchase at all DMV locations in Oregon. For more information about Oregon specialty license plates and how to purchase a Watch for Wildlife plate, visit www. oregon.gov/odot/dmv.
