City of Coos Bay accepts $35,000 grant for wildfire staffing, proclaims Wildfire Awareness Month

BY NATE SCHWARTZ

Editor

At the Coos Bay City Council

meeting on May 5, 2025, the City proclaimed May as Wildfire Awareness Month. Coincidentally, during that same meeting they accepted a $35,000 grant from the Oregon State Fire Marshal to assist with staffing during fire season. Summer months can put a strain on staffing for a multitude of reasons. Student firefighters are away on summer break, with career members of fire department staff taking personal vacation time. This comes during the hottest and therefore most dangerous months of the year as far as fires are concerned.

2024’s fire season set records for its severity, therefore proper staffing and training has become more important than ever. The funds are allocated through the Oregon State Legislature as a specific measure for bolstering local fire departments and districts during this critical time. The State has run the initiative since 2021.

$35,000 is the maximum possible allocation and the funds are intended for two specific functions. The first is seasonal staffing for the aforementioned student firefighters. Being able to hire firefighters on a

seasonal basis, gaining important experience for their careers. The second use of the funds is to pay overtime for career firefighters who are needed to fill vacancies or work long hours while fighting a fire. May is a fitting choice for Wildfire Awareness Month in Oregon, as it signifies the transition from Spring to Summer and the start of fire season.

The Coos Bay Fire Department deployed personnel for 68 days of wildfire season in 2024, to assist with a number of fires throughout the state.

A strike team was sent for 14 days to help combat the LA fires earlier this year.

“This all highlights the year-round need for wildfire readiness,” said Coos Bay Fire Chief Jeff Adkins.

“A proclamation supports statewide efforts to promote defensible space, emergency planning, and public awareness, while recognizing the vital role of our firefighters.”

To help make the proclamation Adkins introduced Ashton Gallaway, one of the department’s newest recruits, to read the City’s statement.

“During this month, I encourage all residents to take proactive steps in protecting their homes, neighborhoods, and natural landscapes from wildfire threats,” declared Mayor Joe Benetti.

In addition to their regular firefighting and inspection efforts, the Coos Bay Fire Department also partners with the American Red Cross to provide smoke alarms for any home within its service area. The department’s volunteer program is always accepting applications for those interested in training and serving in their free time.

Coos County Ballot Snapshot

Special District Elections, May 20

STAFF REPORT

Special District Elections are here, and those hoping to vote will have to get their ballots mailed in by May 20. Each city should have a drop box outside City Hall. This round of local elections sees a handful of ballot measures, and lots of local races for boards and commissions.

If you have not received your ballot, reach out to the Coos County Elections Office. Those interested in observing the election process for themselves are able to. Additional information, as well as the required observation forms, are available on the County’s website: https://www.co.coos.or.us/clerk/page/ may-20-2025-special-district-election

Early reports will be available as early as May 20, though mailed ballots sent before the 20th will be counted through the 27th with a final unofficial count releasing on May 28th. Everything will be fully certified

and official no later than June 16, 2025, when the Final Official Totals Report is released.

Local Races There are dozens of candidates running for local positions on school, health, transportation, and port boards. One of the more contentious races is the Bay Area Hospital Board, which has four positions up for grabs. The Board is in the midst of negotiations with Quorum Health over a corporate acquisition of the longtime independent hospital, with some candidates favoring a local solution.

The North Bend School Board is another interesting race. The current board decided to shoot down a large workers housing proposal in downtown North Bend, after the city managed to secure $4 million in

State fire marshal encourages Oregonians to create defensible space

BY JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

In 2024, Oregon had one of the most destructive wildfire seasons in its history—1.9 million acres burned, communities were tested, and lives were changed, according to the Oregon Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple.

“But amid the devastation, there were also stories of resilience: homes that stood strong because they had defensible space,” RuizTemple states in a release.

As May marks Wildfire Awareness Month, RuizTemple is urging Oregonians to act now. With the possibility of another challenging fire season ahead, preparing your home could make all the difference.

“For the last several years, we’ve been proactively working to boost staffing at local fire agencies, modernizing response equipment, and investing in wildfire resiliency projects across the state,” Ruiz-Temple said. “But we can’t do it alone. We need every Oregonian to rise to this challenge. Creating defensible space around your home is one of the most effective ways to protect your property and your community.”

Ruiz-Temple recommends Oregonians start with small changes that have a big impact: Space and prune trees to prevent fire from climbing into canopies.

• Remove leaves, pine needles, bark mulch, and other debris within 100 feet of structures or up to your property line.

• Clean roofs and gutters of flammable debris.

• Move combustible materials—like mulch and firewood—away from your home.

• Keep plants trimmed and clear of dead material, especially near the house.

• Avoid planting directly under eaves; leave at least

Eighty years ago, Europe was finally quiet. Planes no longer dropped bombs, tanks sat stationary, rattling machine guns fell silent. After six bloody years, World War II was at last over on the continent. However, peace alone didn’t mean a return to life as usual. Far from it. Cities were in shambles. Entire economies were in ruin. Transportation was in tatters, and infrastructure systems, in some cases, were non-existent.

In short, much of Europe was a mess. Before Washington responded with the European Recovery Plan (remembered today as the Marshall Plan), civilian relief efforts did what they could to help. And a famous journalist got the ball rolling.

Before there was the internet, before there was even Walter Cronkite, there was Drew Pearson. Largely forgotten today, the journalist was “Mr. News” in the 1940s. His nationally syndicated “Washington Merry-Go-Round” newspaper column was a must-read for countless Americans. Millions more listened to his newscasts on NBC Radio.

On Oct. 11, 1947, he shared an idea with them. A big, boldly generous idea.

HOLY COW! H RY:

A Tale of Two Trains; when friendship rode the rails

Pearson was staunchly anti-communist.

It irked him to see the flood of propaganda streaming out of Moscow, showing starving Europeans expressing their gratitude for food sent from the Soviet Union.

In his column and on his broadcast that Saturday, he announced the creation of the Friendship Train. It would travel to 11 states and collect food donated by everyday folks, which would then be sent to feed Europeans.

Americans responded with their characteristic generosity. Boxcars loaded with food were shipped to places where the train stopped, so that donations came from all of the then 48 states.

In fact, they wound up needing three trains bearing 270 boxcars hauling $40 million worth of donations to collect it all.

Each food package carried a tag with an American flag and this simple message in Italian or French: “All races and creeds make up the vast melting pot of America, and in a democratic and Christian spirit of goodwill toward me, we, the American people have worked together to bring this food to your doorsteps, hoping that it will tide you over until your own fields are again rich and abundant with crops. This gift is sent to you by …” followed by the donor’s name and address.

It’s no exaggeration to say food from the Friendship Train kept countless people from starving that winter. It’s also no understatement to say the Italians and French were deeply grateful.

Italy expressed its gratitude by shipping four giant statues across the Atlantic. You can see them today on each end of the Theodore Roosevelt and Arlington bridges in Washington. That wasn’t good enough for Andre Picard. The French Railway worker and World War II

A Word, Please

veteran felt France must express its appreciation in kind. Since the Friendship Train had rounded up the essential foodstuffs, a train should likewise deliver France’s thanks in return.

And with that, the Merci Train was born.

The French gathered up 49 small wooden “40and-8” boxcars (so named because they could hold 40 men or eight horses), the type that had seen service in both world wars. The French people were invited to respond, and boy, how they did! Six million citizens flooded organizers with dolls, china, porcelain figurines, furniture, even a Legion of Honor medal said to have been personally presented by Napoleon Bonaparte.

Some 25,000 onlookers were cheering when a ship with a giant sign on its hull proclaiming “Merci America” steamed into New York Harbor. The boxcars, some dating back to the 1870s, were unloaded and paraded through the Big Apple. They were placed onto railroad flatcars (their wheels were too narrow for American tracks), and one was sent to each state, plus the Territory of Alaska.

Americans were touched by the gesture. So much so that most states hung on to the boxcars and some of the items they received as keepsakes. In fact, 42 of them are displayed today in museums around the country. Many collections of gifts are also shown.

Last year, researchers tracked down New Jersey’s Merci Train car stashed inside a Kansas City warehouse. Before that, it had spent decades gathering dust in Tennessee. Plans are underway to restore and eventually showcase it back in the Garden State.

The episode signified far more than two trains. It was a special moment when one group of people gave an outpouring straight from the heart to help others thousands of miles away, and when they replied by showering their belongings back in appreciation. All done voluntarily by everyday people on their own without their governments’ involvement. We, the people of the 21st century, can learn a lot from their example.

You probably don’t read a lot of books written in the 1820s. But if you did, you’d see the word “belie” a lot more. According to Google Ngram Viewer, in the early 1800s, “belie” appeared in books about four times as often as it does now. Maybe that’s why I find the word a little intimidating. I never use it, partly because its definition is confusing, but mostly because its past tense is terrifying. Today I belie, yesterday I belay? Belaid? Belied? And what about in its -ing form? Beling? Belieing? I never know. That’s ironic when you consider how well-versed I am in the past forms of “lie” and “lay.” Today I lie, yesterday I lay, in the past I have lain. Today I lay the book on the table, yesterday I laid the book on the table, in the past I have laid the book on the table. I’ve written about “lie” and “lay” so many times I no longer have to look them up. But for “belie” … well, better to just avoid the word altogether than to botch its past tense. At least, that’s how I’ve been operating. That changes today, starting with some good news for anyone who’s ever struggled to figure out the past form of a verb: Definite answers — not just opinions that amateurs post on the internet — are always handy. Open any major dictionary, digital or physical, turn to any irregular verb, and the first thing you see after the entry word will tell you how to conjugate it in every form. For example, in MerriamWebster’s online dictionary, after the entry for “begin,” you see in bold “began, begun, beginning.”

Dictionaries list the simple past tense, “began,” first, followed by the past participle, “begun.” The easiest way to understand past participles is to think of them as the forms that go with “have”: I have begun. For a lot of verbs, there’s no difference between the past participle and the regular past tense, which is why you say, “I laid the book on the table” and also “I have laid the book on the table.” In those cases, the dictionary lists only the one past form, “laid,” indicating that it serves as both.

For past forms of “belie,” Merriam-Webster’s lists only “belied.” So that’s the past tense, “Her gentleness belied her strength,” and the past participle, “Her gentleness has belied her strength.” Not as difficult as I feared. The progressive participle, “belying,” seems pretty easy now that I realize the obvious: that “belie” is more closely related to the “lie” that means to deceive than to the “lie” that means to recline. And we all know how to conjugate that type of lying: Today I lie, yesterday I lied, in the past I have lied, I am lying. “Belie” mirrors that.

The definition of “belie,” though, is another matter. It’s confusing.

The main definition is to give a false impression of something, as in Merriam’s example “Her gentleness belies her strength.” But the secondary definition is “to show something to be false or wrong,” as in, “The evidence belies their claims of innocence.”

In other words, it can mean to conceal a truth or to reveal a truth.

Some experts disavow this second definition. “The word does not mean ‘to disclose or reveal,’ as is sometimes thought,” writes Garner’s Modern American Usage. “That is, some writers wrongly think of it in a sense almost antithetical to sense 1.”

It’s always unfortunate when a word has a secondary definition that contradicts its main definition. (Read the full dictionary entry for the word “literally” and you’ll see what I mean.) So even though “belie” is easy to put in the past tense, I’ll continue not using it in any tense.

I support Troy Cribbins for re-election to the Bay Area Hospital Board of Directors, position #6. Troy was elected to the Board in 2021 and has served as Chair since 2023. I have personally known Troy for many years, and he is always willing to volunteer his time for the betterment of our community.

I have also had the privilege of working with Troy on the Coos Bay City Council, where he has been an excellent councilor. Troy and the hospital board have had difficult decisions to make regarding Bay Area Hospital. I believe that under the circumstances they face, they have made the best decisions for the future of our community hospital. Please cast your vote for Troy Cribbins with me.

Joe Benetti, Mayor Coos Bay Letter of support

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to support Troy Cribbins for re-election to the Bay Area Hospital Board of Directors. Troy joined the Board in 2021and most recently has served as Board Chairperson since 2023. He has worked tirelessly with the other Board members and Administration to reverse the severe financial deficits created by the pandemic and changing market forces. At the same time, they have strived to preserve essential medical services and jobs. Troy and the Board have made necessary financial decisions which, though painful and difficult, were never callous or indifferent. Recently I have been impressed by the courage and patience Troy has exhibited in a series of very public forums where he and CEO Brian Moore have explained, and fielded questions about, the hospital’s financial situation and the reasons behind seeking a buyout by a for-profit hospital system.

I am not sure of the result of current negotiations with Quorum, nor the ultimate future of medical care in the changing medical landscape, but I trust Troy Cribbins to continue to help make those difficult decisions about the future of Bay Area Hospital.

Sincerely,

Moriarty, MD

Where are our tax dollars going?

My question for Oregon Legislators is where is our tax dollars really going towards? Every election year they say they’re going to help Oregonians. However every year there’s more homeless on our streets. Every Fire

Season thousands and millions of acres of Oregon land burns down and the fires consumes more of people’s properties. They say there’s no money in the budget for ODOT to repair roads and bridges. There’s no money in the budget to support Oregon hospitals and Healthcare clinics. There’s no money in the budget to support our Police and Sheriff’s offices. So the guilty walk free and the innocent suffer. Oregon Legislators keep asking for Oregonians to pay more taxes.

But than those taxes can’t cover the costs of services and resources they’re supposed to go towards.

In support of Tim Lynch

Our community stands at a pivotal moment concerning our local health care. The recent agreement for Quorum Health Corporation to operate Bay Area Hospital under a long-term lease brings both opportunities and understandable concerns.

Tim needs to be elected to the Bay Area Hospital Board. As the Director of Public Health, Mr. Lynch brings a wealth of experience and a deep-seated passion for serving vulnerable populations. His commitment to transparency and equity is precisely what our community needs during this transition.

Quorum Health has pledged to maintain core services for at least a decade, retain current staff without pay cuts, and invest significantly in facility expansions. These commitments are encouraging, but it’s crucial that we have vigilant oversight to ensure these promises are fulfilled. Mr. Lynch’s presence on the board offers reassurance that our community’s voice will be heard and our interests safeguarded.

Let’s welcome Mr. Lynch and support his efforts to keep our health care system responsive to the needs of Coos County residents.

2025 Oregon ocean salmon seasons adopted

NEWPORT, Ore – The Pacific Fisheries Management Council (PFMC) finalized the 2025 ocean salmon seasons including ocean waters off Oregon yesterday. Recommended salmon seasons are not official until final approval by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce (expected by May 16), and after adoption by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission on April 18 for waters within three nautical miles of shore.

Recreational and commercial fishing opportunity varies by area and time. The recreational allsalmon except coho season opened from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain on March 15 and Chinook retention will be allowed through mid-July and during September and October. However, from June 7 onward, when Chinook retention is allowed, anglers may keep only one Chinook as part of the two salmon per day bag limit. For the month of October, the daily bag limit is reduced to one salmon and the open area will be limited to shoreward of the 40-fathom management line.

From Humbug Mountain to the OR/CA border, the Chinook retention period is open mid-May through early June and reopens the very end of June through mid-July. During both periods, the daily bag limit is two salmon, though only one may be a Chinook in the latter opener. From Cape Falcon to the OR/CA

border, mark-selective coho retention is allowed early June through late August or until the marked coho quota of 44,000 is reached. For the month of September, from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain, an all-salmon season will occur with a 30,000 non-marked-selective coho quota.

Oregon ocean commercial salmon fisheries from Cape Falcon to Humbug Mountain will continue through the end of May and again from September through the end of October, with a non-mark-selective coho fishery and a 7,500 coho quota during the month of September. From Cape Falcon to the Heceta Bank management line, the fishery will be open in the latter parts of June and July for all salmon except coho. The area between Humbug Mountain and the OR/CA border will be open for the last two weeks of April only. Conservation concerns based on the low forecasts for both Sacramento and Klamath River fall Chinook salmon stocks were the primary constraints on Chinook fisheries south of Cape Falcon, Oregon. More abundant Columbia Basin hatchery coho salmon and Oregon Coastal natural coho abundances will allow for good fishing opportunities this year. The Columbia Basin hatchery stock is forecast to be about 70 percent of last year’s actual return but 125 percent above the 2024 pre-season forecast. Federally listed lower Columbia River coho are forecast to be less abundant compared to the

The States held a hearing on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, to set additional dates for the recreational spring Chinook fisheries on the Columbia River. Please see the fishing regulation update page for details. Spring Chinook have been caught in the upper Rogue River. Be sure to check the regulations before heading out for Spring Chinook to make sure your favorite spot is opened for the season. On May 22 fishing will open again for trout. The closure happens every year,

to allow native steelhead spawning and out-migrating smolts to navigate the rivers. Late season snow and ice has mostly cleared, but check before you go if your favorite fishing spot tends to get late season snow. You can always call a local biologist to find out if you can access your favorite fishing hole.

There’s also plenty of open water on Howard Prairie, Hyatt Lake and Fish Lake, where early spring fishing for holdover trout can be good.

Haystack Reservoir continues to yield trophy-sized and brood trout in the 16-17-inch range!

Boats can now launch on most lakes – good news for

SWOCC advances to postseason in softball, baseball

John Gunther For the World

The Southwestern Oregon Community College softball team won its final six games in the regular season to wrap up second place in the NWAC South Region and a spot in the upcoming tournament.

The Lakers capped the league season by sweeping host Clackamas on Friday, winning 7-5 in eight innings and 23-20. That followed doubleheader sweeps over Chemeketa and Clark. SWOCC finished ? in league play, trailing only unbeaten Lower Columbia.

The Lakers won Friday’s opener on a two-run single by Jill Halas in the eighth inning.  Halas had two hits in the win. Amanda McDonald and Giselle Beriault each had two runs.

In the high-scoring second win, the Lakers had 21 hits, including four by Beriault and three by McDonald and Makenzie Alexander.  Alexander had three runs, while Mckinlee Wright had five and Tori Goodell four. Emilia Eaton drove in six runs on two hits, including a home run. Beriault had two home runs and drove in five runs and Breani Kahalehau also hit a home run. Eliana Ulufale had two doubles and drove in four runs.

SWOCC finished 23-7 in league play and 37-9 overall. Lower Columbia was a perfect 30-0 in league and is 43-0 heading into the NWAC tournament.

BASEBALL

SWOCC clinched a spot in the NWAC postseason by sweeping visiting Chemeketa on Friday, winning 3-2 and 8-2.

That secured third place in the South Region standings for the Lakers. Chemeketa was in fourth place entering the day, right behind the Lakers. And the Storm took the final two games of the regular season from the Lakers on Saturday, 6-5 and 10-3, to wrap up their own spot in the postseason.

Chyler DeSilva had two hits and two RBIs in the opening win Friday and Kaleb Long scored twice. Bradley Deutsch pitched a complete game, allowing six hits and striking out seven while walking two. Only one of the two Chemeketa runs was earned.

In the nightcap, the Lakers had 12 hits, including three by Daichi Furuhata, who drove in three runs. Beau Benedictson had two hits and two runs and Ayuma Yazawa also had two hits, with a run and an RBI.

Takeru Onozaki pitched six innings, allowing the two runs while striking out six. Yazawa pitched the final three innings, giving up three hits but not allowing the Storm to score.

Linn-Benton won the South Region with a 26-10 record. Umpqua was 21-15, the Lakers 19-16 and Chemeketa 19-17.

The Lakers will need to win a Super Regional to reach the final eight-team bracket. As the thirdplace team they will head to the runner-up from the East Region, Columbia Basin and first face the fourth-place team from the North Region, Skagit Valley, needing to beat both those teams to advance to the tournament at Lower Umpqua Community College.

TRACK & FIELD

trout and kokanee anglers. Redband trout fishing from bank and boat is fair on Upper Klamath and Agency lakes.

Anglers are catching spring Chinook on the Columbia, Willamette and Lower Rogue rivers.

Anglers report excellent spring kokanee fishing at Lake Billy Chinook, Odell Lake, and Wickiup Reservoir. Fish at Lake Billy Chinook and Odell Lake are averaging 13 inches; while 14–17-inch fish can be found at Wickiup.

Nevaeh DeWitt finished third in the NWAC heptathlon championships in Eugene in late April for the Lakers. DeWitt scored 3,972 points in the seven-event competition, trailing winner Mia Hicks-Oliver of Clark (4,382) and Afton Wood of Spokane (4,304).

DeWitt won the high jump, clearing 5-1, and was third in the long jump (16-1 3/4), 100 hurdles (16.07) and the 200 (27.27 seconds). She was sixth in the 800 (2:40.45), seventh in the javelin (101-4) and 15th in the shot put (21-1 1/4).  Rachel Ply finished 14th in the final standings. Her best event was the high jump, where she finished sixth by clearing 4-7.  The NWAC Championships is May 19-20 at Mount Hood Community College in Gresham.

North Bend Police Department welcomes new patrol officer

on the 47-foot

basic

Sattler was sworn in Tuesday by Chief of Police

Cal Mitts during a brief ceremony at the police

department. “Officer Sattler brings with him an impressive record of service and leadership,” Mitts said. “His experience in the Coast Guard and with the Sheriff’s Office will serve him well as he begins his law enforcement career in North Bend.”

A native of Newberg, Oregon, Sattler joined the

Coast Guard seeking life experience and opportunities to help others. His first assignment was aboard the Cutter Munro, homeported in Kodiak, Alaska. He later attended Boatswain’s Mate “A” School and received orders to Station Grand Haven, Michigan.

While in Michigan, Sattler earned certifications as a

motor lifeboat, boarding officer, ice rescuer and Officer of the Day. In 2020, he was selected for the Surfman program and transferred to Station Umpqua River, where he earned his designation as Surfman No. 583 on the national registry. He also served as the station’s deck

department supervisor, overseeing critical vessel maintenance and training.

“His Surfman certification reflects exceptional skill, discipline and dedication to duty,” Mitts said. “That same commitment will be a great asset to our department and our community.”

Sattler is scheduled to attend the police academy before returning to North Bend for field training. In his free time, he enjoys riding the dunes, hunting, snowboarding and spending time with friends and family.

“We’re proud to welcome Officer Sattler to our team,” Mitts said. “We look forward to seeing the positive impact he’ll have here in North Bend.”

Why Bay Area Hospital Needs a New Board: By Charles Hurbis, MD

Please consider voting for a new board that will prioritize financial management for Bay Area Hospital: Kyle Stevens, Simon Alonzo, Dr.John Uno, Brandon Saada

Let me explain: The people of our health district cannot in good faith support a Quorum acquisition, as this would prove disastrous for the healthcare of our local population over the long term.

This transaction would only benefit outside financial interests and steal tens of millions from the local healthcare. Quorum does not invest its own money as we are being led to believe; it instead will take out a loan against the hospital’s assets to finance any rebuild, putting the hospital even deeper in debt while filling its pockets. “For Profit” remember?

Alternatively, the goal of the local plan is to create a healthcare collaboration involving all institutions, where every hospital and each clinic is maintained and kept solvent. In this scenario, if the core institution or BAH is healthy, all entities will be healthy. There would be no cannibalizing of services from other institutions, but rather a shared workload with each able to capitalize on its individual strengths, thus efficiently maximizing the revenue of each institution. The end goal would be a strengthening of all institutions. This plan was not “created in a vacuum” as is being suggested. It was carefully designed with the input of the local medical community, not the union, and was modeled after plans in other similar communities, which have been very successful. It was then presented to the hospital board and administration not once, but twice. It seems they don’t remember this being presented, but that’s not surprising since, according to those in attendance, one board member walked out during the presentation. It’s hard to remember what you didn’t see. With all the new housing developments in the area and the planned deep water port on the horizon, there will be plenty of paying patients to go around once BAH is under a new administration. The current group hasn’t been making the best decisions, thus Quorum is circling overhead. BAH is a unique institution with its geographical isolation and locally dependent population. Our hospital services patients from Florence to Crescent City. Properly managed, there is zero reason why BAH can’t be very successful; it always was in the past. It’s not a problem with payor mix. Just recovering the divisions of Urology, Cardiology, and Medical Oncology will more than correct the deficient bottom line. These have all been lost or outsourced under the current administration, sending that money out of the area. Interestingly, just last week, Interventional Radiology also announced they are pulling out, once again unable to work under the current management. This has been an unfortunate recurring theme. It also turns out that there have been large income streams within the pharmacy department that have been ignored. The bleeding will continue until new people are in charge, those who are dedicated to our community and maintaining local control. Do we need a Levy to keep the hospital solvent? Probably not. Does the population support one? Interestingly, a recent poll shows that 54% of our population does. To quote one citizen at a recent hospital board meeting, “I may not be a rich man, but I would support a levy to

save our hospital, without which I’d have to leave the area”. This seems to be a common theme. Supporting a local plan will not jeopardize the health of the smaller hospitals in the area. If anything, it will strengthen them. A vote for Quorum will do just the opposite. Once we have a new hospital board and a talented management group at the helm, groups dedicated to our community, we can capitalize on what is available. Local healthcare will once again thrive and become the major economic driver it always has been for our community. Please consider voting for a new board that will prioritize financial management for Bay Area Hospital: Kyle Stevens, Simon Alonzo, Dr.John Uno, Brandon Saada Charles Hurbis, MD

By Mary Schamehorn As I See It

An article on the front page of the April 1, 1943, Western World was headlined “Port of Bandon Tugs Decorated.” And here’s the story.

“Captain Martin Guchee, Bandon, is master of the tug Port of Bandon (first photo) which was built at the Prosper shipyard and sold to the U.S. Engineers, along with two barges also built here.

“Captain Grant H. Evans, Seattle, is master of the tug Kilhyam (second photo), which was built at Parkersburg on the lower Coquille river and for many years was the bar tug for the Port of Bandon. It was sold and reconditioned, equipped with diesel power, and after Pearl Harbor was taken over by the U.S. Engineers.

“Captain Guchee is well known in maritime circles along the coast of Oregon and Washington. He has been a tug master ever since he was 19 years old and has navigated practically every bar and river entrance along the coast of the two states. About two years ago he and his Bandon crew aboard the tug Port of Bandon rescued eight Alaska fishermen from a foundering craft south of Cape Blanco.

“Evans and Guchee, both tugmasters, have been awarded the Legion of Merit, making them the first civilians in the Alaska combat zones to be decorated by the U.S. Army.

“ ‘The two tugboat masters worked for the Army engineering department and successfully completed their tasks involving peril to themselves and the crews of their tugs,’ the citation said.

“Captain Guchee is expected in Bandon for a visit within a short time. Mrs. Guchee went to Seattle to meet him upon his arrival from Alaskan waters where he had been for the past 14 months.”

The Guchee family lived in the house, located on the east side of Beach Loop Road, in the curve just north of Table Rock Motel, and I still refer to it as “Guchee curve.”

There is a reason my third picture is of the late distance running legend Steve Prefontaine, a 1969 graduate of Marshfield High School, best known as Pre. He was one of the best known American distance runners of all times. He was undefeated in Cross Country and track his final two years at Marshfield and lost just one race during his time at the University of Oregon in the 1970s (where I took this photo of him during one of those races).

On May 2, a Marshfield dis-

tance runner, Bodey Lutes, broke Pre’s 800 meter record (1:53.8), which had stood since the late 60s, when Lutes finished with a time of 1:53.00.

A 23-year-old Bandon man, Kavien J. Rhodes, has been arrested in connection with the breaking of a front window at Bandon Sweets & Treats in Old Town Bandon Thursday night, May 1. The business is owned by Meghan Butts. Rhodes was charged with second degree criminal mischief, aggravated harassment, resisting arrest, assaulting a public safety officer and disorderly conduct.

The arrest was made by Bandon Police Officer Damon Price, who was assisted by Officer Pierce of the Coquille Police Department, Sgt. Clayburn of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office and Officer Jesse Macy of the Bandon Police Department.

* * * The long-awaited commercial air service between North Bend and Portland probably will not happen this year, at least that is the word from the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport.

“Commercial Air Service at the Airport continues upward trending and will likely exceed previous records of passengers through the airport. However, the development of routes, especially for small regional airports like OTH, has likely been shelved until next year. Volatility in the economy has shaken the industry across the states, and many airlines have put route development on hold. That is particularly true for small markets. But CCAD plans to continue to pursue options for travelers, including

attending conferences to meet with airlines,” said the press release.

“Executive Director Rodger Craddock says, even though the delay feels like a setback, there are still plenty of opportunities to meet with airlines and keep working on additional service for the south coast. A Portland route will not likely happen this year. But negotiations with Alaska and other airlines that could provide service to Portland or sun destinations are ongoing.”

*

* * Videos of four candidates for the Bandon school board are now up on the League of Women Voters of Coos County YouTube channel: https://www. youtube.com/channel/ UC3aeUzQYgZo YnsNYqEqUtow.

“In the end four candidates agreed to be interviewed,” said Abigail Bok, League of Women Voters. “The others were given multiple opportunities to participate.”

The ones who sat for interviews were Corrie Gant, Claudia Dobney Powers, Jon Sullivan and Matthew Whitmer.

Gant is running against Dave Hisel; Powers is running for the

and

Hutchens are running unopposed.

“To help voters make their choices in all races, please note that Coos County leads all other counties in the state in number of candidates who have posted campaign information on Vote411.org,” said Bok.

It’s too bad that not enough school board candidates were willing to take place in a local forum, as was the case with the mayor/city council races in November. People I’ve spoken with were really looking forward to it.

* * *

Some years ago, the incumbent in each race was noted on the ballot, but for some reason, that practice has long since been discontinued. I went on line to determine which of the SWOCC board candidates and the South Coast ESD candidates were incumbents, and here is what I found: for SWOCC, Marcia Jensen, Jeremy Skinner, Chris Haynsworth and Maria Sudduth. For ESD: Billie Reeves, Charlotte Hutt and Joanne Moss. Incumbents running for re-election to the Coos County Area Transportation District board are Harper Thompson and Schira Nelson.

Among those attending to support her were her husband and father, Judy Jackson, Sheila Howe, Deb Holder, Kay Hardin, Mike Claassen, Crystal Shoji, Molly Dufort, Tom Orsi, and Mary Schamehorn who nominated her. Long-time CCFoPH president and retired health department director Frances Smith was honored for her years of service. Orsi, a Bandon resident, is the vice president of the board.

“Because they pushed forward – and because survivors came forward – this predator has been removed from the community for good. Without this investigation, there is no doubt in my mind that he would have continued to harm children.” On May 2, 2025, Forrest was sentenced to 1,955 months in prison.

Rowland “Rolly” Edward Jones

August 4, 1934 – April 26, 2025

Rowland Edward Jones, 90, of Lakeside, Oregon, passed away peacefully Saturday, April 26, 2025 with his beloved companion of six years, Barbara Holloway by his side. Rolly was born August 4, 1934 in Pendleton, Oregon to Albert and Florence Jones. He was the youngest of three boys growing up in Walla Walla, Washington, and at a strapping 6 foot 2 inches was considered the shortest of their brood.

During his childhood, a lung infection scarred his lungs so badly doctors told him he would never play sports. So Rolly took up swimming and a musical instrument to strengthen his lung capacity. As a result, he became a champion swimmer, and his French horn playing would earn him a spot in the Washington Symphony and a music scholarship offer to the University of Washington. But it was the military call that he would answer to. After a few years at Whitman College, where he pledged the Sigma Chi fraternity, Rolly joined the United States Air Force in 1954, and accepted as a commissioned officer in 1956.

It was during his officer training at Harlingen Airforce Base in Texas that he met his first wife, Wanda Ruth Holt. He was subbing in on upright bass in a jazz combo at the Officer’s Club that night, and she was home for Christmas break from SMU and had come to hear the jazz. They were married for 11 years and had two children together, Rowland Scott Jones, and Ronda Gay Jones. Rolly spent 20 years in the US Air Force as a Strategic Air Command navigator,

Joel Robb

June 01, 1951 – April 17, 2025

Born June 1, 1951, in Honolulu, HI, Joel Robb passed away peacefully on April 17, 2025, in his adopted home of Cleveland, OH. A graduate of Saint Louis School (‘70), Joel cherished education thanks to ‘Tutu’ and his parents. After earning a forestry degree from Sierra College, he spent 36 years working outdoors with the Bureau of Land Management, eventually settling in Coos Bay, OR, on his beloved Hyland Lane. Joel was a minimalist, valuing relationships above all. His true life’s work was homesteading with his wife Karen and raising their sons alongside animals, trees, and a dear crew of friends. He was a steward of the land he loved and lived a life of purpose and simplicity.

Joel is survived by his wife Karen, his sons: Isaac (Annie) and Samuel (Caitlyn), his grandchildren Delia age 1.5 and Lewis age 1, six beloved siblings, and many nieces and nephews. Though he hated Cleveland winters, he loved being close to family.

flying B-52s during the Vietnam war, and attaining the rank of Major. He continued taking university classes and earned his BA in Economics/Business Administration from Park College in Missouri in 1974. By the time he retired from the Air Force in 1974, he had also married again. He and his second wife, Sue, moved to Mountain Home, Idaho, where he started a successful hydroponic farming business, becoming the exclusive supplier of tomatoes to the regional Albertson’s grocery stores in Idaho. He was proud to call himself a farmer and would probably have lived out his life tending his tomatoes, but the marriage went south and Rolly quite literally went on a journey to find himself.

Being an avid hunter and fisherman, he decided to drive to Mexico to hunt Jaguar, then on to fishing in Florida, visiting family and friends along the way. He reconnected with his children from his first marriage, now fully grown, in Fort Worth, Texas, eventually ending up in Las Vegas, alone, but in the company of other retired military buddies. One of them suggested he take a good fisherman, who also happened to be a lady, out on the boat for a day. This proved another turning point in Rolly’s life, as Karen was not only a good fisher, but also a wonderful partner for him. The two moved to Lakeside, Oregon, got married, and when they weren’t fishing, they played cards and cribbage with friends. Rolly became a grandfather, to two grandkids, from his daughter Ronda in Fort Worth. He maintained a relationship with his stepdaughter Deanna in Idaho. It was a

Joel surfed, played cards, loved music, and explored the world. He found joy in hard work and helping others. In his honor, raise a glass of whiskey and share a joke with someone who knows how to laugh.

Ballot Measures

North Bend is the only Coos County district with ballot measures. Coquille withdrew their Ambulance Service Levy following the City’s financial revaluation due to improper number keeping.

Due to a charter amendment in 2020, any increases in fees beyond standard cost-of-living adjustments must pass by a “majority of the electorate”. This includes those who do not vote, making any nonparticipating residents an automatic ‘No’ vote. This makes any ballot measures on the matter an uphill climb for the City. Voting “yes” on this measure updates the charter to counting only participating votes, voting “no” keeps the current system.

Increase In tandem with Measure 6-221, North Bend is seeking a rate increase for its wastewater and sewer system maintenance. With over 51 miles of sewer lines, the large system is aging rapidly. 39% of the system is already over its 70-year expected lifespan.

The City is seeking to increase the current residential fee from $37.57/month on July 1 each year for the next three years.

happy life, and then Karen passed away in November of 2014. He was alone again, and heartbroken, but devoted to life in Lakeside, so he chose to stay, even when his daughter tried to lure him back to Fort Worth with their lake house and boat.

It would be almost five years later, in 2019, that close friends would encourage him to visit the Senior Center in Lakeside to check out the card room and get him out of the house for little while. It’s hard not to think that it was a little nudge from God that he would meet an outgoing, delightful card enthusiast named Barbara Holloway there, the friendship beginning over a game of pinochle, then conversations over a cup of tea. Little did they know a pandemic loomed around the corner that would isolate and separate the whole world. But they had found each other, in their 80s, and it only strengthened a relationship that was already warm and comforting. Barbara was by his side, holding his hand, as Rolly passed from this earth. Walt Whitman once wrote, “The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.” But Rolly’s life had many verses, he was a musician, an athlete, a patriot, a hunter, a fisher, a farmer, an intellectual, a father, a husband, a boyfriend, a good friend, a brother, so many things, but before them all a child of God. He was loved and will be missed very much. He is survived by his daughter, Ronda Jones Stucker of Fort Worth, TX; stepdaughter, Deanna Wolfe of Nampa, ID; nephew Rod Jones and his wife Vickie,

Jeffrey A. Unger

December 21, 1943 – May 1, 2025

Jeffrey A. Unger passed away peacefully on May 1, 2025, at the age of 81. He was a devoted father to Stacie Ford and Jason Unger (Courtney), a beloved brother to Jim Unger (Bobbie), and the cherished son of Jack and June Unger, who preceded him in death.

A lifelong resident of Reedsport, Jeff came from a family deeply rooted in community service. His father, Jack, once served as mayor and helped care for local families through the town’s funeral home — a legacy of dedication that Jeff carried on in his own way.

After graduating from Reedsport High School in 1962, Jeff spent more than 30 years as a beverage delivery driver and was a proud member of the Teamsters Union. He earned the respect and friendship of many throughout his career. An avid outdoorsman, Jeff found his greatest joy in nature. Whether out on his boat fishing or deep in the mountains hunting, he was most at home under the open sky. In his later years, he was especially grateful for the hunting trips he shared with Jason and the loving support of Stacie, who returned to Reedsport to be by his side in his final months.

Jeff will be deeply missed by his family and

North Bend is seeking approval of a $2 monthly fee through utilities to construct and maintain a public dog park.
