May 14 was an exciting day for many of Marshfield High’s graduating seniors, as the annual scholarship assembly was held in the auditorium. The Marshfield High School Community & Memorial Scholarship Fund has grown to oversee 182 different scholarships which are awarded to students via a 19-member selection committee.
65 seniors were awarded various scholarships from the fund, which all have their own diverse criteria ranging from financial need, to community involvement, to academic achievement, college major,

On May 14, the
portation
(NTSB) released
findings on the HondaJet that failed to stop upon landing in North Bend. The incident, which took place early in the morning on April 7, saw the plane end up in the bay injuring its 5 passengers.
While one of those 5 dealt with more serious injuries, thankfully everyone has recovered, and the results of the excursion were less severe than they could have been due to some quick-thinking and experience on the pilot’s end. Reports indicate that he took evasive maneuvers to avoid infrastructure that would have caused much more damage.
According to the NTSB investigation, the plane took off from St. George, Utah to North Bend as it had nearly every Monday for the past year, with a return flight each Friday. On interviewing the pilot, it was determined that the onboard Flight Management System chose the landing based on plane and runway data.
The pilot told investigators he entered that the runway was wet, provided wind and weather information, airplane weight, and runway length for the FMS.
The FMS determined that the landing required a distance of 4,200 feet which was well under the runway’s length of 5,980 feet. Other than low-visibility in the early morning, the pilot recalled that the approach was normal and consistent with his typical procedures.
On landing, the pilot stated that the initial brake on touchdown felt normal, and he expected to decelerate and taxi off the runway normally. This did not end up being the case, as halfway down the runway the brakes seemed to no longer be working. There were no warnings or messages from the onboard computer.
Investigators corroborated this with an inspection of the runway which showed no indications of skid marks from brakes or the anti-skid system operating as expected. Tire tracks were seen in the grass before the embankment leading into the bay, but no indication of braking there either.
Other than a slightly higher ground speed at touchdown, investigators found that the landing on April 7 was relatively consistent with the prior flights that this plane had conducted. No evidence of failures or malfunctions were found in the wheels and braking system during the initial evaluation,
The Scholarship Fund, which was started in 1988, has grown to over $7 million dollars thanks to one-time or annual pass-thru funds from community members and organizations,
Preliminary report reveals further details in Southwest Oregon Regional Airport runway excursion
though some parts were taking for further inspection.
In just the last several weeks there have been three other runway excursions in HondaJets, according to a report in Aviation Week. On March 4, there was an excursion in San Antonio.
Just two days after the North Bend incident, a plane veered off the left of a runway in Naples, Florida. Four days after that, there was an excursion at Japan’s Nagoya/Chubu Centrair International Airport, which the Japan Transport Safety Board categorized as a ‘serious incident’.
The article quotes a training document from the Federal Aviation Administration which cites that most runway excursions happen under a combination of factors: excess speed on final approach, insufficient consideration of runway conditions, excess height over the threshold, and landing in adverse winds.
Given that in primary investigation of the North Bend incident there were no abnormalities in landing procedure, there may be deeper causes in the trend of HondaJet excursions. Whether a training deficiency with this specific model, or a manufacturing issue, more investigation is needed given the string of incidents. Over 30 runway excursions have been documented in the Aviation Safety Network, so something has got to give.

Historians love ranking presidents. You’ve seen the lists. There are the Greats, the Near Greats and the Mediocre.
Then there are the Failures: Andrew Johnson, Herbert Hoover, and the all-time worst president, James Buchanan. (When it comes to being lousy at the job, you can’t beat allowing the country to split in two.)
Another name always makes the failure list. After you’ve learned about the pain that haunted him throughout his White House years, you may see him in a new light. Born into a prosperous New Hampshire family, Franklin Pierce was sent away to school when he was 12. Homesick, one Sunday, he walked 12 miles to see his family. His father, a tough Revolutionary War veteran, returned the boy in his buggy. Stopping a few miles from town, he made his son walk the final way in a driving thunderstorm. Pierce called it the turning point of his life.
As a lawyer, Pierce lost his first case, but that did not derail his career. Strikingly handsome with wavy hair and deep, dark eyes, he was going places. Success followed success. State legislator at 24, congressman at 28, U.S. senator at 32. But what he didn’t have, and what he really wanted,

was a wife and family. Cupid can be careless when shooting his arrow. It sometimes produces love that, while genuine, is also doomed to fail. So it was with Franklin Pierce and Jane Appleton.
The rising politician and the pious minister’s daughter should have recognized red flags from the get-go. He was outgoing, the life of the party. She was shy, a homebody. He was physically robust, while she was almost gaunt from frequent illness. He was a Democrat and thoroughly loved politics; she was a Whig, despised politics and loathed Washington.
One difference was the biggest of all. She was strictly anti-alcohol. He liked to drink. A lot.
But love is blind, they say. The couple wed in 1834. In 1841, after the childhood deaths of their first two sons, Benjamin was born.
Bright, bubbly Bennie became the center of their world. They showered all their love on their surviving child.
Love was not in the air when Democrats met in 1852 to pick a presidential nominee. The party was bitterly divided over slavery and, after squabbling through 49 ballots in a brawling convention, selected Pierce as its dark-horse compromise.
The choice of a “strange bedfellows” coalition of New England and southern states, Pierce won a massive 254 to 42 Electoral College landslide over military hero Winfield Scott. Three weeks shy of 44, he was the youngest president till then. His future glittered.
Then Fate stepped in.
Early in the new year, the Pierces travelled to Boston. On January 16, 1853, two months before the inauguration, as the noon express was racing along at 40 miles per hour, an axle broke. One passenger car, the one the Pierces were in, spilled down an embankment and split in half.
It was mayhem inside the tumbling car.

cover basic services that the property taxes we are allocated need to fund. As voters, we’ve consistently voted down even modest increases because we’re all strapped, too.
us/newsview.aspx?nid=8064
Here’s what I’ve learned: Even though the past 5 years have brought North Bend huge dollars from the extensive efforts of staffers to draw grants, we are still in a fiscal decline that will hit us hard in the coming few years. Grants are really only good for capital investments, not sustaining services, yet we have done what we can. For example, our city police force currently has 3-4 grant funded positions that will go away without a change. As you all are aware, the sewer system — with its own dedicated budget and funds — is falling off a fiscal cliff because prior councils for more than 2 decades have pushed off basic rate increases needed to keep that system up to date for the regulatory requirements and any shot of a growing population. We, as all other municipalities across Oregon and the US, are in a state where the federal government has drastically cut access to our fair share, large private businesses like those in timber who funded the city so well are long gone by decades, and our physical systems are aging out to the tune of 10-20 years beyond the known usable service time.
Our tax dollars simply don’t
If we continue that pattern, we have one option left — economic development — as our path forward. But that path is rocky and unpredictable. Some of us truly believe that capitalism will save us, but we’ve also seen that private development on many fronts (housing, industry, etc.) have left our coastal community behind for years into decades.
You’ll not get this on Fox News, but it’s truly happening real time in our community.

The Gentrification of Coos Bay
I am sad to see people of Coos Bay selling out and leaving us with a town with no soul and no hope for anyone but the rich. It is not fair that someone with a handful of money can just move in, destroy what’s here and live happily ever after while everyone else has to pay their price or leave. After 22 years it looks like I will leave to find somewhere cheaper to live and far enough away that the RICH hoards won’t be looking to move in and destroy a community. I hope all you people who sold out are enjoying your retirement. I don’t have one.

skull. When the car finally stopped, the Pierces called for their son. Franklin tried to turn Jane away, but it was too late. She saw Bennie’s mangled, lifeless form before Franklin forcibly led her away. That single glimpse haunted her the rest of her life.
Bennie Pierce, age 11, was the accident’s only fatality.
When the time came to leave for Washington, Jane refused to go. She had never been crazy about Franklin’s candidacy, and she fainted when she learned of his nomination. She had no desire to be first lady.
In her eyes, the accident’s meaning was obvious. God was displeased with Pierce’s political ambition and took their son as punishment.
Pierce stood alone on the U.S. Capitol steps on March 4 and became president. The new administration began with high hopes. His was one of the best Cabinets in history. In fact, it remains the only Cabinet whose entire original members served all four years of a presidential term.
But Bennie’s death hung over both parents like a dark cloud.
Jane eventually moved into the White House, but she was little more than an upstairs ghost.
And Franklin, unable to rescue her from her despair, retreated into his bedroom and drank. And drank. And drank some more. However, no distillery could produce a drink strong enough to numb his pain.
He tended to the daily duties, but that was all. His exceptionally strong Cabinet kept the government running. As the nation was being pulled apart over slavery, it lacked the leadership only a determined president could provide. Pierce couldn’t pull himself out of his alcohol-induced sorrow to save himself and his wife, much less his country.
Franklin and Jane toured Europe after the presidency, then returned to New Hampshire. His alcoholism and health worsened. Tuberculosis
A Word, Please

Not long ago in this column, I talked a bit about the expression “step foot,” as in “I wouldn’t step foot in that store.” The first time I heard it, I was embarrassed for the speaker who, I was sure, meant “set foot.” The second, third and fourth times I heard it, I sensed a change was underway — and I’m not a fan of change (that’s an understatement). Eventually, I looked it up and learned that “step foot” is slowly gaining on “set foot,” whether I like it or not. Figures of speech, like words, evolve. Take “vicious cycle,” for example. For a solid century, there was no “vicious cycle” — at least not in published writing. Pretty much everyone who could get near a printing press agreed the expression was “vicious circle.” The idea behind the expression, of course, is that of being stuck in a loop, a bad one. Merriam-Webster defines
“vicious circle” as “a chain of events in which the response to one difficulty
creates a new problem that aggravates the original difficulty.” As the 20th century dawned, “vicious circle” continued to dominate, but suddenly it had some competition. “Vicious cycle” was emerging as a contender. “Vicious circle” held onto its lead until just about a decade ago, when “vicious cycle” nosed ahead. At the same time, the original and originally correct expression “vicious circle” started to dive. I’m not optimistic about its future.
“Top up” is another term that caught my eye lately, and not in a good way. I first started seeing it in travel articles pondering whether it’s worthwhile to buy airline miles to “top up” your existing balance enough to book a flight. My whole life, the expression I heard was “top off.”
According to Merriam-Webster, “top off” is a phrasal verb that has two definitions: The first is “to end (something) usually in an exciting way.” So an athlete may top off their career with a final victory, or a nice dinner can be topped off with dessert and coffee. The second definition is similar to the first: “to fill (something) completely with a liquid.” Be it a mug of coffee or a tank of gas, when it’s not quite full and you fill it all the way, you’re topping it off.
“Top up,” meanwhile, was a perfectly fine way to say “top off” if you’re British. But it wasn’t for us, I thought. We were top-off people. Turns out that’s not quite right. “Top up” has been in print as long as “top off,” and though the American version has always been more popular in American publishing, “top up” has never been far behind. I was wrong about that, but I was even more wrong about “You’ve got another think coming.” I couldn’t understand how anyone could make the embarrassing mistake of using “think” in this expression. Obviously, the correct version was “You’ve got another thing coming.” I never considered the context. The expression follows a stated or implied statement of “If you think X …” so “another” makes sense because you’ve already had one think. Of course, a think is a thing. So it’s not wrong to say you’ve got another thing coming. And that’s lucky for modern English speakers, because Ngram Viewer shows that “another think coming” started to decline in popularity about 10 years ago while “another thing coming” is becoming more popular than ever — just when I was getting used to “think.”
For me, there are two takeaways from these trends. One, the language will keep changing. And two, change will continue to annoy me.

Most scholarships have their criteria determined by the donors and have allowed for students with all kinds of aspirations to have help in achieving them.
“At the time in 1990, when we started our association with the Oregon Community Foundation, we had around 12 endowed funds each endowed with around $12,500, that was the minimum. In the period from 1990 until now, it has grown to almost $8 million,” said Engle.
“Businesses, families they put the MHS Memorial Fund in their estate plans… Obviously, its them wanting to connect to the future. If they’re no longer here, they want to make sure the young people of our area are taken care of as far as their educational support.”
Many of the awards are memorial scholarships that honor figures that have left a lasting impact on the Marshfield community.
“Many of these awards have been created in memory of former Marshfield students and staff, individuals who left a lasting mark on our school and our community,” said
Principal Elias Ashton during the ceremony. “Each memorial scholarship tells a story. It honors a unique life and the impact that person had on others.”
Some of these awards, like the Joycolyn and Walter Joslin Memorial and F. Willis Smith Memorial Scholarships are large endowments left by longtime community members that fund multiple scholarships. Others, like the Jason Forrester Memorial and Blake Crane Memorial Scholarships honor students taken before their time. Some, like the Steve Prefontaine Memorial Scholarship, remember legendary figures in the

As a requirement, recipients write thank you letters to the families or organizations that fund their awards, and Engle remarked at how moving it is to see how genuine and attentive the students are each year.
“When they write their thank you’s, it’s always really touching to hear the stories of how the scholarship has helped
their family and encouraged them,” said Engle. “The kids really do see it as a testament that somebody out there believes in me, and I’m not going to fail at this effort to go to school and be successful.”
“It’s very reassuring that these kids are good kids, they’re hardworking kids, and they want to make their parents proud, make the donors proud, and their community proud of them. So, there is always such an uplifting feeling post-assembly. I know that our committee is just

Wyden announces town halls in Coos, Curry Counties
U.S. Senator Ron Wyden today announced he will hold town halls on Saturday, May 24 in Coos and Curry counties with U.S. Rep. Val Hoyle, and one more on Sunday, May 25 in Jackson County. Heading into these three open-to-all town halls, Wyden has held 1,117 open-to-all town halls in keeping his promise to hold at least one town hall each year in each of Oregon’s 36 counties.
“As we remember our fellow Americans over Memorial Day weekend who made the ultimate sacrifice, I know Oregonians are always grateful for the freedoms of speech and assembly these heroes fought to preserve,” Wyden said.
“And as a senator proud to represent all Oregonians, I believe it’s more important than ever to exercise those freedoms statewide with direct open-to-all conversations to hear Oregonians’ opinions and answer their questions. I’m glad Congresswoman Hoyle will be joining me in Coos and Curry counties, and look forward very much to those discussions on May 24, as well as my town hall in Jackson County on May 25.”
“I’m proud to join Senator Wyden for town halls on Memorial Day weekend to remember those who lost their lives in service to our country and to hear directly from south coast residents on issues of importance to them,” said Hoyle. “Their opinions help us to better represent their interests in Washington, D.C., which is essential for a healthy democracy.” The schedule for the town halls with both Wyden and Hoyle on Saturday, May 24 is as follows:
• Coos County, 2:30 pm, North Bend Middle School Gym, 1500 16th St, North Bend

Area teams advance to state golf tournaments
John Gunther For the World
Marshfield and North Bend advanced both their boys and girls teams to this week’s state golf tournament and Bandon earned a chance to defend its boys state title by easily winning its special district.
Marshfield won the Class 4A District 3 boys tournament at Runnning Y Ranch in Klamath Falls last Monday and Tuesday, holding off North Bend.
The Pirates had a 10-stroke lead after shooting a team score of 330 on the first day, and followed with a 331, which was enough to stay in front of the Bulldogs, who finshed three shots back after shooting 324 on Tuesday. Between them, Marshfield and North Bend had the top seven golfers, with another tied for eighth place.
North Bend’s Owen Bascom won medalist honors with a two-day totalof 149 (5-over par). Teammate Dashul Gordon was second at 157,
followed by Marshfield’s Enoch Niblett (160), Lucas Hyatt (165) and Kody Chandler (170) and North Bend’s Behr Gordon (171). Marshfield’s Mason Aurdahl was seventh (172) and North Bend’s Rhyder Thornburg tied Henley’s Brayden Gelhardt for eighth with scores of 187.
The Class 4A state tournament started Monday and concludes Tuesday at Tokatee Golf Club in McKenzie Bridge.
CLASS 3A-2A-1A DISTRICT 3: Bandon dominated the district tournament at Bandon Crossings, including a sizzling team score of 292 on the final day Tuesday.
The Tigers finished at 602, which was nearly 100 shots better than runner-up St. Mary’s of Medford (700). Douglas was third (761) and Reedsport fourth (784).
Bandon’s Severn Quinn was medalist, with a two-day total of 140 (4-under). He shot a 69 on the first day and 71 on the second day to hold off Davis Hartwell of Crosspoint Chris-
tian, who had a 66 on Tuesday and finished a stroke back in the medlaist race.
Brookings-Harbor’s Lucas Vanderlip joined Hartwell in advancing to state as an individual, shooting even par (144) over the two days. Bandon’s Peyton Simonds (146) and Braedon Millhouser (158) rounded out the top five. Reedsport’s Noah Sullens tied for sixth with Wyatt Winters of Douglas and David Jones of St. Mary’s at 163. Bandon’s Jackson Simonds improved his score by 14 strokes on the second day, finishing ninth at 164 with a 75 Tuesday.
The state tournament started Monday and ends Tuesday at Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis, which also hosts the Class 4A-3A-2A-1A girls tournament.
DISTRICT 4 GIRLS: North Bend had the best score both days and Marshfield rallied to edge Cottage Grove for second place behind medalist Analise McCord at Florence Golf Links.
McCord, a senior, shot the best score of the two-day event with an 85 on Tuesday to overtake first-day leader Jordyn Prince of North Bend.
Prince had an 89 on the opening day, but slipped with a 103 on the second day for a two-day total of 192 and finished fourth behind McCord (178), Marshfield’s Shay Herzog (186) and North Bend’s Addyson Garrett (189). North Bend’s Emily Heaton was fifth (194), followed by Marshfield’s Annika Bones (196), Brookings-Harbor’s Adison Hodges (198), Cottage Grove’s Zoe Goings (200) and North Bend’s other two players, Benelli Gordon (201) and Lola Davidson (204).
North Bend’s team total for the two days was 775, which was comfortably in front of Marshfield (830) and Cottage Grove (832).
Siuslaw was sixth, led by Jozalyn Hulet, who was 12th with a total of 209.
Track athletes tune up for district with big wins
John Gunther For the World
Marshfield’s Bodey Lutes was part of three different meet records in the Wally Ciocetti Invitational at Cottage Grove on Friday night and several other South Coast athletes won events in their final tuneups for this week’s district meets.
Now the area’s athletes turn their focus to qualifying for the state meet, which will be May 29-31 at Hayward Field in Eugene.
Lutes stepped up from his specialty distances again to win the 800 meters and edge out the 18-year-old record of former Coquille standout Josh Frasier. Lutes’ winning time of 1:55.21 was just better than Frasier’s time of 1:55.22 in 2007.
Siuslaw’s Clayton Wilson was second in the race in 1:57.47 with teammate Henry Stone eighth in 2:06.31.
Many of the top athletes limited their events Friday instead of competing in the maximum of four. Lutes’ other events both were relays, with Marshfield establishing new meet records in each.
In the 4x100 relay, he teamed with Chandler Wyatt, Jake Day and Carter McGriff to set an ew meet record with a season-best mark of 42.47 that beat out Henley’s 42.76. The old record of 43.04 was set by Scappoose in 2014. Siuslaw was fourth in that race in 43.37 as the Vikings continued to show they are the favorite for the team title in Class 3A in Eugene.
In the 4x400 relay Marshfield erased another 2014 record by Scappoose, winning in 3:20.87 and improving their school record set earlier this year with the squad of McGriff, Wyatt, Day and Lutes. Siuslaw was second in 3:22.66 and North Bend was fifth in 3:38.17, a season-best for the Bulldogs.
Marshfield’s Jaxson Stovall had an impressive win in the 1,500 over two of the rivals he will face in the Sky-Em League district meet this week. Stovall finished in 4:03.63, edging out state cross country champion Carter Bengtson of Cottage Grove (4:04.73) and Conor Thompson of Marist Catholic (4:05.26). Siuslaw’s Sailor Jensen was seventh (4:23.24) with Bandon’s Beckett Pahls eighth (4:23.38).
Marshfield’s McGriff was sixth in the 100 meters (11.58) and Day was fourth in the 200 (23.04). Joseph Janney of Henley set a new meet record in the latter event (21.81). Wyatt
was second (52.10) and Nicoya Pruess sixth (53.39) in the 400 for Marshfield.
Siuslaw’s Michael Felkins was fourth in the 110 hurdles (16.59) and 300 hurdles (43.04). Marshfield’s Christian Baugh was sixth in the longer race (43.71).
North Bend got a win in the high jump by Miles Baxter, who cleared 6-4. Baxter also was second in the long jump (21-6), edged out by Siuslaw’s Kale Jensen (21-8 1/2), with Siuslaw’s Will Johnson third (21-3 3/4) and Marshfield’s Hadyn Widdicombe sixth (20-1 3/4).
Johnson was second in the pole vault for the Vikings (136), followed by Marshfield’s Quinton Kloster (13-0) and Bandon’s Noah Brown (12-6). Siuslaw’s Justin Allen was sixth (12-0) and Marshfield’s Max Johnston eighth (11-6). Johnson also was second in the triple jump (42-9 3/4) with North Bend’s Landon Takenaka-Gaul sixth (39-8 3/4).
In the throwing events, North Bend’s Kilon Phaigh was sixth (44-4 1/2) and Coquille’s Jerico Jones eighth (42-6) in the shot put; Jones was eight in the discus (134-3) and Siuslaw’s Caleb Gray was fourth in the javelin (160-11).
For the girls, Coquille’s Holli Vigue had a pair of new bests, winning the discus with a throw of 139-7 and taking second in the shot put with an effort of 39-6 1/4, trailing the mark of 40-11 3/4 by Cascade’s Kalina Saechao.

John Gunther For the World
Myrtle Point and Reedsport shared the title in Class 2A-1A District 4 baseball race. For the Bobcats, it was their first league title in more than 60 years.
Both teams finished 9-1 in league play, winning on the other’s home field. They will play for seeding to the state playoffs on Wednesday on the field of the team with the higher power ranking (Myrtle Point as of Saturday).
Both teams likely will have home games in the playoffs, based on their rankings.
Myrtle Point finshed the league season with a 3-1 win over Waldport. Reedsport beat Toledo 12-2 after earlier in the week sweeping Glendale in a nonleague doubleheader 10-0 and 13-2.
21.9. Teammate Eli Nicholson was third in the 1,500 (4:45.6). Warner (21-0) and Ligons (20-0) were first and second in the long jump. Powers was fifth in the 4x100 relay (47.4).

DISTRICT MEETS: The first of the district meets for the South Coast is Wednesday and Thursday at Brookings-Harbor, where Coquille joins the rest of the teams in Class 3A District 3. Siuslaw hosts the Class 3A District 1 meet on Thursday and Friday in Florence.
The Sky-Em League district meet, for Marshfield and North Bend, is Friday and Saturday at Marist Catholic High School in Eugene.
Reedsport, Bandon, Myrtle Point and Gold Beach all compete in the Class 2A District 3 championships on Friday at Illinois Valley High School in Cave Junction. Powers and Pacific compete in the Class 1A District 2 championships on Saturday at McKenzie High School in Blue River.
Bandon finished the league season on a high note, beating Waldport 14-1 and Eddyville 9-7 and also topping Sutherlin 8-6 in a nonleague game. The Tigers visit Brookings-Harbor for their season finale in a nonleague game Tuesday after finishing 3-7 in league play.
SKY-EM LEAGUE: Marshfield finished third in the SkyEm League standings to earn a spot in the play-in round for Class 4A and North Bend also will be in the postseason due to its high spot in the power rankings. Both teams were swept in their final series last week.
Marshfield fell to league champion Marist Catholic 10-2, 8-0 and 16-1. North Bend fell to second-place Junction City 6-1, 4-3 and 12-5. Both teams were 5-7 in league play, but Marshfield won the series with North Bend to get the third guaranteed postseason spot.
North Bend is the highest-ranked team that didn’t finish first or second in its league, guaranteeing the Bulldogs the spot in the play-in round.
SOFTBALL CLASS 2A-1A DISTRICT 4: Powers will be in the playoffs in its first year as a program.
The Cruisers locked up second place in the special district by beating host Reedsport 15-5 last week. Powers wrapped up the regular season by topping Marshfield’s JV team 21-10 and beating Eddyville 18-3 in its final league game.
The Cruisers finished league play 10-2, trailing just unbeaten Toledo, and now waits to find out its opponent in the playoffs.
Reedsport also will be in the playoffs after finishing third in the standings. The Brave finished 7-5, a game in front of Bandon, which sufferd a 23-6 loss to Waldport that kept it from catching Reedsport in the standings.
Bandon beat Eddyville 14-4 to finish the league season Friday and had a nonleague game against Illinois Valley on Monday and another against Brookings-Harbor on Tuesday.
SKY-EM LEAGUE: North Bend was swept in its final league series against Junction City and will likely come up short of a spot in the postseason.
The Tigers won 14-4 in Junction City and then 13-5 and 25-20 in North Bend, leaving the Bulldogs in fourth place at 5-7, a game behind Cottage Grove, which advances to the play-in round as the league’s third team behind Junction City and Marist Catholic.
Marshfield was swept by Marist Catholic, losing 18-12 on the road and 10-6 and 18-8 at home. The Pirates finished 1-11 in league play, the lone win against the league-champion Tigers.
Marshfield has a nonleague game Tuesday against Glide to conclude the season.
FAR WEST LEAGUE: Coquille lost its final three games, falling to Sutherlin 10-6, 11-10 and 12-2. The Red Devils had one league win, against Siuslaw.

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

TRUSTEE’S NOTICE OF SALE T.S.

APN: 1896500 25S1320-BD-07000 LOT 9 AND THE WEST HALF OF LOT 10, BLOCK 43, 1ST ADDITION TO EMPIRE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON. SITUATE IN THE COUNTY OF COOS, STATE OF OREGON. Commonly known as: 1006 MARYLAND AVE, COOS BAY, OR 97420 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum:
TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $15,114.47
TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $100,163.82
Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-today, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 9/15/2023, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION, the undersigned trustee will on 8/28/2025 at the hour of 10:00am, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, Inside the main lobby of the Coos County Courthouse, located at 250 N Baxter St, Coquille, OR 97423 County of COOS, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest
which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed 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 sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest SEYMOUR GLASSMAN 1006 MARYLAND AVE COOS BAY, OR 97420 Original Borrower BETTY GLASSMAN 1006 MARYLAND AVE COOS BAY, OR 97420 Original Borrower Sharon Potter 1006 MARYLAND AVE COOS BAY, OR 97420 For Sale Information Call: 916-939-0772 or Login to: www.nationwideposting. com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Pursuant to Oregon Law, this sale will not be deemed final until the Trustee’s deed has been issued by QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION. If any irregularities are discovered within 10 days of the date of this sale, the trustee will rescind the sale, return the buyer’s money and take further action as necessary. 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.

Friends of Bandon Parks & Recreation hold Bike Rodeo, donate 10 bikes to local kids
Friends of Bandon Parks & Recreation (FOBPR), a 501 c3 nonprofit, sponsored the Second Annual Bike Rodeo at Ocean Crest Elementary in Bandon on Friday, May 2.
The purpose of the bike rodeo, as envisioned by Christine Hall, President Emeritus of FOBPR, was to encourage healthy outdoor recreation and build joy around safe cycling. Three 3rd grade classes participated. The 55 students each got a new bike helmet and a giveaway bag of stickers, bicycle decorative pins, and safety literature. Ten bicycles were donated by FOBPR for a class raffle.
“The children were so enthusiastic,” said FOBPR Secretary Steve Friedland. “Obviously they’re excited about getting the 10 new bicycles, but it was also the training and the information about the safe operation of their bikes that really connected with them.”
Shawne Martinez from Cycle Oregon brought 30 bikes on loan so that students could learn about safe operation, such as how to navigate intersections. The children rode a course designed to build familiarity with the operation of their bike, including safe braking. The students received instruction on the parts of a bicycle, oiling a bike chain, repairing flat tires with a tube patch, and putting air in bike tires. The event was funded by a generous grant from Bandon

By Mary Schamehorn As I See It
one of Bandon’s best-known citizens and mayor at the time of the Bandon Fire: Ed Capps.
An article in the July 1929 Western World talks about his business.
“Here, as elsewhere of course, the Ford, well recognized as a most economical, durable and dependable car, is much in demand and Ed Capps (at right, first photo), local representative, owner and operator of the Capps Service Station, hardly needs any special introduction.
“He is known to all as he has lived in this country all of his life time; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.S. Capps, being among the early pioneers who are credited with building this country to its present stage of prosperity.
“The family hails originally from Tennessee. The elder Capps was among the first school teachers here.
“The modern structure (second photo) is a real credit to the city and is conveniently located at one entrance of the Roosevelt highway and intersection of the main street (across from present Bandon Fisheries Warehouse).
“The firm also contributes in no little degree to the general prosperity of the community in as much as an average of 12 men find employment here regularly.
“Mr. Capps is another one of those who are ever willing to work for this section’s best interests. He has confidence in the future. Among other things he is ably serving as a member of Bandon’s city council.”
The third photo was taken shortly after the fire of 1936 as then mayor Ed Capps digs through the rubble of his ser-
Two Bandon area families were left homeless late last week when fire destroyed a home in the Seven Devils area and a Fifth Wheel on Whiting Lane. Neither family had homeowners insurance.
Dave and Julie Flannery and their daughter have been living in their fifth wheel since 2019 while building their home on the property. Apparently, the refrigerator caught fire, and since the trailer was all propane, it sparked and spread quickly. The couple and their dogs were able to escape the fire, but they lost their cats and all their personal belongings including their cell phones. Fortunately, a neighbor heard them screaming and called 9-1-1. Their daughter Katie, who lives in Coos Bay, said her dad wears a size M-L and her mom is a size XL. Anyone wanting to donate clothing or household items could leave them at the bus stop at 55594 where their younger daughter is staying with friends. Donations could also be left at Bandon Supply, where Dave Flannery works. Cash donations can be made by Googling GoFundMe for Flannery family, and the family would also appreciate carpentry help in making their home livable, according to their daughter.
Early Friday morning in the Seven Devils area, Rocky Jones, his wife Jessica and three young daughters (ages 2, 8, 10) woke to find their shop and barn, next to their home, engulfed in flames. Fortunately, the family was able to safely exit before the fire entered their home, which was a total loss due to flames, water and smoke. The shop and barn are
completely gone. Rocky is self employed and is the sole provider as his wife is set to graduate from nursing school in about a month.
The best way to help them rebuild their lives is through a GoFundMe account, which can be accessed by Googling GoFundMe for the Rocky Jones family. Locals will know Rocky Jones as the son of Susie Korenko Jones, who was raised in Bandon.
* * * Sunday morning at 7:45, Bandon Sergeant Matt Whitmer responded to a report of a suspicious individual entering vehicles near Second and June Avenue. Upon arrival, Sgt. Whitmer located the subject and attempted to detain him, but he resisted arrest and fled on foot. A coordinated Search effort was begun with assistance from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, K9 Cena and the Oregon State Police.
The subject was later seen on Ohio Avenue and again attempted to flee. During the pursuit, he unlawfully entered an occupied residence and assaulted a resident in an effort to avoid capture, according to the Bandon Police Department report. Officer Jesse Macy was injured by the subject, who was resisting arrest, but will make a full recovery, said the report.
Matthew Storm, 31, Bandon,
was taken into custody on two counts of unlawful entry into a motor vehicle, third-degree theft, two counts of resisting arrest, first degree burglary, fourth degree assault and assaulting a police officer.
The woman whose home was entered said it was “a very scary morning” and a “Mother’s Day she will never forget.”
During the search, an incident occurred, for which Sheriff’s Deputy Adam Slater posted an apology on Facebook.
“This morning K9 Cena and I were called to assist with a criminal apprehension track in the city of Bandon. During the track, unfortunately K9 Cena was nearly struck by a vehicle. K9 Cena is fine, as am I. However, I did not represent myself in a professional manner by way of my speech. For anyone who witnessed that, I apology for my actions and have reported this to my chain of command and expect to be reprimanded accordingly. I wanted to apology to the motorist I spoke with and anyone who may have observed the interaction,” said Deputy Slater.
* * * Last Tuesday evening around 5:20, Bandon Fire was dispatched to a report of an outdoor burn out of control and threatening a home on Morrison Road. Fire Chief Nick Siewell said Bandon Fire responded with one structure engine, four water tenders and four type 6 wildland engines along with auto aid resources from Green Acres, Coquille and Myrtle Point. Coos Forest Protective Association also responded with equipment and personnel.
Upon arriving on scene Bandon Fire reported a quarter-acre fire moving uphill with a slow rate of spread and not threatening the home. All auto aid resources were canceled and the larger Bandon equipment was staged on Morrison Road. The fire was quickly brought under control with two of Bandon’s small type 6 fire trucks. The fire was turned back over to the landowner by CFPA that evening, said Siewell, who did not know the name of the property owner. The scanner gave the address as 54431 Morrison Rd.
* * * The five-member Cranberry Festival Court has been announced by the festival asso-
ciation. They include Jazmyn Llewellyn, daughter of Virgil and Renee Llewellyn; Safaa Dimitruk, daughter of Miyuki Nohara; Caitlyn Michalek, daughter of Christine and Dustin Michalek; Lillianna Gonzalez, daughter of Celia and Eduardo Gonzalez, and Brooklin Butts, daughter of Meghan and Rory Butts. All are students at Bandon High School.
* * * The community was stunned by last week’s news that Bandon’s Rite Aid store would close on May 22, leaving many locals scrambling for a new pharmacy and Bandon without a drug store.
Bandon Community Pharmacy, associated with Coast Community Health Center, has been serving local residents for some years. The Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center is in the process of opening a community retail pharmacy, but until the final permits have been issued by the Oregon Health Authority, it is not open to the public. That is expected to happen sometime in June.
* * * Sunday, May 11, was the final mass in the present Holy Trinity Catholic Church building which will be demolished in preparation for the building of their new church, “light by the sea.” Saturday, May 24, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the church will be having a sale of many items from the present building that they will not be keeping, including things like pews, lights and credenzas. “We felt that some community members might appreciate the ‘old’ things,” said one member of the congregation.
*
* * Although I don’t know the details, there was a four-vehicle accident on Highway 101 Saturday afternoon near the old Belloni Boys Ranch around milepost 249. The scanner indicated that two ambulances were dispatched, and that traffic had been rerouted over Beaver Hill to Highway 42, but other than that, I do not know the details or the extent of the injuries. Bandon Fire was among those paged to assist.
* * * I’ve learned that the Bandon Ministerial Association is going to be reviving the Blessing of the Fleet, a tradition that has not taken place since 2019.
Robin Haruna, senior minister with Unity of Bandon, said it will be somewhat scaled down as it has been difficult to work out the logistics. The VFW is not available for the 21-gun salute, and they are still looking for a bagpiper. She said it will be Monday, May 26, but they are waiting on the Coast Guard to let them know the time. “The Port has been very helpful,” Pastor Haruna said.
* * * A walk-run fundraiser for the local VFW Post will be held Sunday, May 25, at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse, with signups at 1 p.m. and the run to begin at 2. Cost for an individual is $10; for a family, it’s $30. The event honors veterans and raises funds for the local VFW. Whether you’re walking, jogging or running, your participation makes a difference, and all ages are welcome, said Lori Osborne, who is spearheading the event. Even if you don’t want to walk or run, you can donate by mailing a check to Post 3440, P.O. Box 1228, for “run to remember.”
* * * The Tuesday, May 13, Meet and Greet, at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse, beginning at noon, with seating open at 11:30, was sponsored by Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center. The talk featured the Revenue Cycle Manager Colene Hickman and her financial counseling team who will speak on the topic: “Understanding Healthcare and Financial Support at Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center.” The May 20 program will feature several members of Holy Trinity Catholic Church and Jim Proehl from the Bandon History Museum talking about Holy Trinity, Bandon’s First Church. Mike Claassen will talk about Bandon’s Senior Center at the May 27th Meet and Greet.
* * * The second annual free Living and Aging Well workshop on Brain Health is Sat., May 24, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Barn. For info, call 541751-5024. Still time to read the campaign info for school board candidates for the May 20 election at Vote411.org. Don’t forget the free financial advice by Jon Sullivan and Brian Damiani, Wednesday, June 11, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the BHS library.

Thomas Rolfe Foster
November 17, 1947 – May 1, 2025
Thomas Rolfe Foster, age 77, of Coos Bay, Oregon, formerly of Gallipolis, Ohio, passed away in Coos Bay, May 1st, 2025.
Born November 17, 1947, in Gallipolis, Ohio, Tom’s life was defined by his generosity, work ethic, devotion to community, and his love for people. He was the son of Philip Foster and Marie Skidmore.
Tom began his railroad career at the age of 18 and dedicated 49 years to the railroad industry, working for eight different railroads and moving 12 times across the United States. Although he retired in 2006, his passion for railroads brought him to Coos Bay in 2011, where he helped rebuild the local line until 2014. One of his proudest accomplishments was leading the Puget Sound and Pacific Railroad, where he helped move soybean meal from the Midwest to Grays Harbor— transforming the port into a thriving export hub.
Tom’s work ethic was evident from an early age — selling newspapers at nine years old and helping at his father’s coal yard by fourteen. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.
Tom lived with purpose and extraordinary generosity. He had a gift for making others feel seen, supported, and valued. His passion for helping others was a constant thread throughout his life, as was his unwavering support of education, the arts, and community service. He served on the board of the Coos Art Museum, and for 20 years was a dedicated board member of the Kala Art Institute in Berkeley, California.
Tom supported the Oregon Coast Music Association in Coos Bay. In his hometown of Gallipolis, he sponsored two organizations close to his heart, the John Gee Black Historical Center and the Gallipolis Railroad Freight Station Museum.
He was a devoted member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, where he and Carol attended regularly. He was also a loyal member of Downtown Health & Fitness, where he made many friends and where he met Carol. He was an original member of the men’s fitness group, the Men of Steel.
Tom loved reflecting on his life through storytelling. He participated in a writing group where he shared personal stories and cherished memories.
Tom had a deep love for travel. He celebrated his grand-nephew’s high school graduation by taking him on a trip abroad, and he and Carol made several memorable trips to Europe.
Tom is survived by his loving wife, Carol Foster; his niece, Leigh Ann Roach and her husband, Jeff of Gallipolis, Ohio; his grand-

Tom cherished lasting friendships that spanned from childhood, college, and his railroad career. Among his dearest lifelong friends were Tom McMann, Danny Chick, Ed Garvey, Tom Murray, Roy Nott, Gary Nelson, Chuck Spitulnik, and Mike Swisher.
Tom was preceded in death by his sister, Margaret Layne of Bidwell, Ohio; his special cousin, Betty Skidmore of Bidwell, Ohio; his father, Philip Foster (1990); and his mother, Marie Skidmore (1985), both of Bidwell, Ohio.

Michael Bauchereau joined his father, great grandmother, and cousin in heaven on May 9th, 2025. He was 37 years old. He was born in Salem, Oregon on June 4th, 1987 and was his mother’s first child and only son, and grandmother’s first, oldest, and favorite grandson. His childhood was spent in the woods and mountains with his cousins who he loved like brothers. He grew up surrounded by the love of his four uncles, Bill, Steve, Mike, and John, his only aunt Laura, and his many cousins. He was a dedicated son, grandson, brother and cousin all his life. His proudest achievement was the birth of his daughter, Sadie Bauchereau, and he dedicated his whole life to her. As great nieces and nephews joined the family, he took so much joy in them too. He was a gifted photographer, hunter, and artist and enjoyed sharing these gifts with his friends and family.
His laugh will always be missed, but his family will continue to feel his presence.
