North Bend moving closer to homeless camping rules

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

The North Bend City Council voted unanimously last week to approve an ordinance that establishes camping rules for the city in an attempt to meet the requirements of a state law that allows homeless camping in cities.

The city of North Bend took a major step toward revitalizing downtown Thursday when the old Main Street Auto and Gas Station was demolished. With the structure now gone, the city is moving ahead with plans to turn the lot into a pocket park that will tie in with the new Visitor Information Center that will be built at the old DMV building next door. The North Bend Urban Renewal Agency purchased the gas station lot and paid for the demolition, while the city used hotel and motel taxes to buy the old DMV. For more on the city’s plans for the downtown area, see the Tuesday, May 30, edition of The World.

NB Council creates committee to oversee July Jubilee

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For

The World

The North Bend City Council voted unanimously to take greater control over the July Jubilee with a goal of making the event a year-round

festival.

The council voted to make a three-person council committee to oversee July Jubilee, which is returning to the city after a three-year absence due to COVID. July Jubilee has tradition-

ally been a summer celebration, honoring the city’s birthday with a variety of fun events. When the decision to restart the jubilee was made, the city’s Main Street Committee began making plans for the celebration.

But during the “Other Business” section of the council meeting last week, Mayor Jessica Engelke told her fellow council members she wanted the council to have

The council voted 6-0 to adopt the ordinance, which will go into effect July 1. The ordinance itself bans camping through the city, with the promise the council will adopt a resolution that outlines where and when the homeless can set up camp. North Bend Public Works Director Ralph Dunham told the council it must allow space for the homeless to camp. Without the ordinance by July 1, camping would have been allowed in any public space after that date.

The ordinance that bans camping only applies to public property, and while all camping is banned, the council can allow camping by passing a resolution stating when and where.

“We started by prohibiting it in residential areas,” Dunham told the council. “As it sits today, it’s prohibited throughout the entire city, all zones. As you’re well aware, we have to provide for homeless camping somewhere. This is both in vehicles, in tents and other camping. That is provided by resolution. The council designates a location that allows that.”

Getting to the point of adopting the ordinance was a multi-year process that included many public

Mayor refuses to put Noordhoff on water board committee

By DAVID RUPKALVIS

A request from Councilor Susanna Noordhoff to be reinstated to the Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board Budget Committee was denied after the city attorney said a judge’s ruling on the issue did not apply to the committee.

Noordhoff said based on a ruling by Judge Martin Stone that the council improperly removed her from city committees and commissions, she should be put back on the water board committee.

“I went to court when I was tossed of committees, and Judge Stone

more control and asked that a committee be put together to “help drive the vision.”

“I feel really passionate that we have a committee,” Engelke said.

The move to use other business was made despite a judge’s order in 2021 that threw out a decision the council made because it was made in other business. Since then, the council changed its rules to allow issues that are not controversial and supported unanimously to be approved in other business.

At first, some of the council seemed confused by the mayor’s request before they ultimately came to support it.

“It feels like we have started work on it now, and this would just slow things down,” Councilor Jenny Jones said.

Engelke said her vision is to have July Jubilee expand with some events in July, but others spread throughout the year.

She said she was hoping to create a committee with some council members as well as community members to lead the effort.

“To me, the impact would be carrying out the vision,” Engelke said. “It is not the dayto-day operations, that

ruled that I was to be reinstated to all committees,” Noordhoff said. “I want to be on that committee. I asked to be on the 2022 budget committee, and Timm Slater was appointed to it.”

Several weeks ago, Mayor Jessica Engelke appointed the city’s Finance Director Jeff Bridgens to serve on budget committee in 2023.

In 2021, the council voted to remove Noordhoff from all city committees and commissions during the “other business” portion of the agenda. Noordhoff filed a lawsuit saying the decision was not

But the council remained hesitant. “I think it would be fair to say if we try to jam this in right now, some large committee and trying to find people, it might change and lower the momentum,” Jones said.

“My concern is I think we’re going to run out of time,” Councilor Barbara Schultz said. “I don’t think we could do it before July. If we have a committee that’s just vision, I think that’s a good idea.”

City Attorney Mark Wolf was asked to weigh in, and he said according to council rules creating a committee with community members would take a resolution. He suggested waiting until the next council meeting so staff could prepare a resolution.

The only committee that could be formed without a resolution was a council committee made up of only members of the council.

Councilor Susanna Noordhoff said she liked the idea of a council committee.

“I think it’s a good idea because I’ve been on this council two years, and I’ve never seen just a council committee,” Noordhoff said.

“I think it’s a good idea, flex our muscles a little

properly announced in advance and was made in a meeting she was absent from.

Judge Stone ruled in her favor, saying other business was not an appropriate place to make a decision such as that one.

“I’m asking two things,” Noordhoff said. “One, we keep councilors on the budget committee. I’m not sure who thought it was right to appoint a staff member, but I don’t agree with it. I’m asking that I might be appointed this position, this year.”

After she made her request, Engelke asked City Attorney Mark Wolf to address Noordhoff’s

claim that she should be reinstated to the water board committee.

“As you are probably aware at this point, the water board recently adjusted their policy,” Wolf said. “They have designated two seats to the budget committee, one to be appointed by the mayor of North Bend and one to be appointed by the mayor of Coos Bay. Those are the parameters the water board is looking for. There’s no designation that it be a city councilor and there’s not prohibition of that.”

Wolf said after reviewing the ruling by Judge Stone, it was his legal opinion that did

not apply to the water board budget committee. He said the ruling said Noordhoff should be reinstated to all “city committees and commissions,” but the water board committee is neither.

After hearing from Wolf, Engelke said she was not going to change her appointment.

“In a previous meeting, I had made the recommendation of the finance director, and I’m going to stick to that this year.”

Engelke said now that she was aware Noordhoff was interested, she would keep that in mind when making an ap-

pointment next year.

“What about the judge’s order, mayor,” Noordhoff asked.

Wolf again replied that the water board committee is not a city committee or commission.

“Mr. Wolf, I was removed from that committee,” Noordhoff replied. “When the judge says I should be reinstated, this was a committee assignment and this is one the judge ordered I be returned to, and I have not.”

“Mayor, you have my opinion,” Wolf said, and Engelke chose to keep the finance director on the committee.

The most contested race was in North Bend with eight contestants running for three seats.

In the race for Position 1, Nathan McClintock has taken the lead with 1,523 votes. Ginger Kralicek is second with 1,390 and Daniel Emmett is third with 224.

In Position 3, Carol Yardley looks to have won the seat after receiving 1,545 votes. Hira Qadir has 1,188 votes and Elliot Adams received 395.

In Position 7, Michelle Roberts has taken the lead with 1,641 votes while Charlotte Hutt has received 1,454.

In Myrtle Point, there was one contested race as Jared Sproul has 464

“The committee would not be flexing our muscles a little bit,” Councilor Larry Garboden said. “It’s about vision.”

Engelke said she was OK with a council committee. Wolf said in that can a purpose should be included in any motion.

Jones eventually made three motions before settling on a council committee made up of two to three

votes to 245 for Roy Harris in Position 3.

Another contested race countywide also had some tight races as the Coos County Airport District had two contested races.

In the race for Position 1, Andrew Brainard has received 4,514 votes to 3,518 for Mike Collins. In the race for Position 5, Jason Bel has 4,346 votes to 3,245 for Matthew Fare. Caddy McKeown earned a full term after running unopposed.

In the city of Bandon, voters chose to increase their water, sewer and electrical rates. The vote to raise sewer rates passed with 64.35% of the vote, the vote to raise water rates passed with 64.74% and the vote to increase electricity rates passed with 61.32%.

‘Have a plan,’ wildfire preparedness urged

By WILL LOHRE County Media, Inc.

Gov. Tina Kotek is urging Oregonians to be prepared for the approaching wildfire season.

“No surprise, but wildfires will forever impact our region and much of our country,” Kotek said. “The threats will continue to grow as we grapple with hotter, dryer conditions due to climate change. But we have choices, and how we prepare and respond to the situations.”

During a media briefing May 9, Kotek detailed several key points that experts have shared with her about the challenges Oregon faces this fire season.

Effective responses

Kotek discussed creating fire-adaptive communities and developing safer and more effective responses to support fire personnel.

Drought intensity across the state is less than it was at this time last year.

While Kotek said that many regions have benefited from high volumes of spring rain and strong snowpack, some areas are affected by persistent severe drought.

The large amounts of winter moisture and precipitation in May and June will likely cause a “delayed wildfire season,” Kotek said. Despite the late onset of wildfire season, Kotek emphasized the need for preparedness.

“Wildfire prevention efforts, including public information campaigns,

early fire detection, leveraging aviation and ground assets for early deployment for a safe and aggressive initial attack, are all key to our successes this year,” Kotek said.

Fire indixes indicate that there will be an above-average fire season in Eastern Oregon, Kotek said. Deploying to these remote areas will be a challenge for Oregon’s response system.

Kotek outlined the challenges ahead:

• Capacity to respond in rural areas that rely on volunteer firefighters.

• Competition for natural resources as fire seasons become more complex.

Oregon will continue to rely on the fire mutual aid system, which deploys local fire departments across the state to protect communities, Kotek said.

Using the lessons from past fire seasons, Kotek said that agencies have become better at technological efficiency, expanding the monitoring network, localized forecasting, streamlined smoke coordination calls, and simplified templates for air quality advisory.

“Leveraging our statewide wildfire coordination system, utilizing technology and advanced firefighting equipment to our advantage, and taking early and aggressive action will be key,” Kotek said. “But it’s going to be up to every single one of us, every Oregonian, to do our part to prevent human-caused fires

before they start.”

Kotek ended her address with ways Oregonians should prepare for fire season as the weather becomes hot and dry.

“Prepare your yard. Have an evacuation plan. Have a to-go kit. Have a plan if there’s smoke in your community,” Kotek said. “Above all, do everything you can wherever you are to prevent fires from starting in the first place.”

Defensible space

In a separate action, The Oregon State Fire Marshal (OSFM) is asking Oregonians to make sure they a defensible space around their homes and property as added protection against wildfire.

“Defensible space can prevent embers from igniting your home or prevent flames from reaching it,” A release from the OSFM Office states. “Another important advantage of defensible space is it creates a safe space for firefighters to work during a wildfire.”

Creating defensible space can seem like a daunting task for some homeowners, but tackling one project at a time over the course of Wildfire Awareness Month can make all the difference, according to the OSFM adding that Oregonians should tackle defensible space projects now before the heat of summer arrives.

“Pick a project to complete this weekend; maybe it is making sure your gutters are clear of needles and leaves. Next weekend, limb

your trees to ensure flames can’t reach the lower branches,” Oregon State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said. “Simple steps over time can culminate into added protection against a wildfire.”

Start with a plan Walk around your home and identify areas where an ember could land and ignite. Look at the base of your home and work outward. Studies show the leading cause of home fires during a wildfire is embers igniting combustible materials, spreading fire to the house. Consider the following defensible space

projects at your home:

• Space and prune trees.

• Remove leaves, needles, wood, bark mulch, and other debris from within 100 feet of the structure or to the property line.

• Keep roofs and gutters clean of leaves, needles, and other debris.

• Move flammable material away from the outside of your home, including mulch, flammable plants, leaves and needles, and firewood piles.

• Keep flammable or tall plants from growing directly under the eaves; a minimum of five feet away is recom-

mended.

• Keep firewood piles and lumber at least 30 feet from any structure.

• Keep plants in your yard healthy and maintained. Clean out old leaves or pine needles from your plants. Prune away any dead portions. One home with defensible space gives added protection against wildfire for that single home. When neighbors create defensible space as a community, protection increases exponentially for everyone involved, the release states. For more information, contact your local fire district or fire department.

Hook a bass to reel in cash on Coquille River

For the second year in a row, south coast anglers have the chance to catch thousands of dollars in the Coquille River. How? By dropping a line in the water and hooking a bass.

The Coquille Port Commission in coordination with Coquille STEP, ODFW, the Coquille Indian Tribe and the Bandon Port Commission is hosting the 2nd annual Small Mouth Bass Derby.

“I know for a fact, if we can get a bunch of fishing poles out there, we can wipe out the bass,” Port Commissioner

meetings, two town halls and hours and hours of debate among councilors.

Most of the discussion last week was around the resolution, which will outline when and where camping will be allowed. After the long debate in the city, the council has currently settled on downtown

Fred Fry said. And there are plenty of reasons to go out.

“We will have one fish worth $10,000, three worth $1,000 and the rest will range from $200 to $50,” Fry said.

Fish from Riverton to Powers will be microchipped.

Unlike most bass derbies, this event is not catch-and-release. Just the opposite: The whole point is to rid the river of as many small-mouth bass as possible, thereby reducing predation on salmon smolts.

Voracious bass are unwelcome invaders in the Coquille, where various agencies

The council can still change the resolution as long as one is approved and in place before July

1. The current resolution would allow camping on:

• Harbor Avenue between Virginia Avenue and Washington Avenue;

• Union Avenue between California Avenue

and community organizations are cooperating to restore dwindling salmon populations.

The port’s first derby, last year, removed about 3,000 bass from the river. Some became tasty dinners for anglers. The rest became crab bait.

Organizers encourage anglers to keep every smallmouth bass they catch, no matter how small. The Coquille River has no limit on small-mouth bass, and each one is a potential money winner.

and Connecticut Avenue;

• California Avenue between Meade Street and McPherson Street; and

• McPherson Street between California Avenue and Virginia Avenue.

Those locations would include City Hall, the North Bend Police Department and the North Bend Fire Department as well as many business locations

The derby starts the weekend of June 3rd and 4th, “the free fishing weekend,” which means no license is required. But unlike last year, it won’t be limited to two weekends.

“We changed the format,” Fry said. “It’s going to go all summer long.”

So, all summer, until it ends on the weekend of September 9th and 10th, volunteers will scan fish to see if they contain a microchip worth one of the cash prizes.

The volunteers will be at Sturdivant Park in Coquille on Saturdays from 2 to 8

Dunham said based on the latest numbers the city has seen, between 20 and 30 vehicles are currently being used for camping and between 30 and 60 individuals are camping in tents. He said based on Point in Time counts, it is estimated that between 250 and 300 homeless people are in North Bend, which includes people couch surfing.

The derby costs $20 and contestants must sign up before fishing. This can be done at overthe-counter ticket sites in Charleston, Bandon, Coquille and Myrtle Point.

settled on a possible site, it did get three public comments for businesses in the area, all opposed to the plan.

“Nobody is going to be happy,” Councilor Pat Goll said. “I can walk down every street in North Bend and get a list of names of people who won’t be happy.”

Mayor Jessica Engelke said the advantage of using a resolution to set allowable camping sites is they can be changed as often as needed.

“We know we’re going to look at this a month later,” she said. “Might as well put it on the calendar now.”

Councilor Susanna Noordhoff said her big concern in the area was allowing camping on Harbor Avenue, which overlooks the bay.

But Goll said it’s time to pass something and move on.

“I think we’ve had a

lot of hashing out, and there’s a draft resolution that could work,” Goll said. “I think we’re just wasting time.”

“I don’t think we’re wasting time,” Noordhoff responded. “We eliminated Hamilton, which is a good thing.”

With the location mostly settled on, the council also discussed what time camping should be allowed. Engelke said she would be in favor of a 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. time slot in all areas. But Noordhoff said for some that would not be fair.

“If you have someone living in a car with children, do you really want them driving around until 10 p.m.,” Noordhoff said. “I think it should be 8 to be reasonable and humane to people.”

After some discussion by the council, the compromise was reached with camping allowed on Harbor Avenue from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. and every else from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m.

“These are crisis situations,” Engelke said. “We are not looking for long-term solutions. We’re starting small. We will revisit it in the first 30 days to see how it’s going.”

The council will consider to discuss the resolution, but a decision must be made prior to July 1.

Miller appointed trust officer for Oregon Pacific Bank’s Coos Bay branch

Oregon Pacific Bank recently announced that Justin Miller has recently been appointed as a trust officer for their Coos Bay branch. The Coos Bay trust department now offers the services of two trust officers, a trust administrator and two trust assistants. Justin has been a valued member of the branch operations team for many years, and they are excited to see him take on this new role within our organization.

As trust officer, Justin will be responsible for managing and administering a wide range of trusts, including personal trusts, estate planning trusts and more. He will work alongside the current trust officer, Lisa

Finding a young wild animal alone does not mean that it’s been abandoned or orphaned, so leave them where you find them.

The advice you are likely to hear if you pick up or bring young wildlife home is “put it back,” and you might get a warning or citation from Oregon State Police, too. Removing an animal from the wild is illegal under Oregon wildlife laws. (ORS 497.308 –No person shall remove from its natural habitat or acquire and hold in captivity any live wildlife in violation of the wildlife laws.)

Many wildlife species will leave their young while they forage for food.

When people remove them from the wild, young animals miss the chance to learn where to seek cover, what to

“We are thrilled to have Justin take on this important role within our bank,” said Lisa Amaral, Oregon Pacific Bank’s senior trust officer. “His exceptional skills and experience will be invaluable in providing our clients with the best possible service.”

Justin has been an active member of the local business community for many years and has established himself as a trusted financial partner to many of our clients.

He will continue to be a familiar face to the Coos Bay community as he takes on this new position.

“I am excited to take

on this new role as Trust Officer and to continue to serve the Coos Bay community in this capacity,” said Justin. “Working at Oregon Pacific Bank has been a privilege and I look forward to providing the highest level of service to our clients.”

In addition to Justin’s appointment as Trust Officer, Stacey Wilson, another long-time employee at Oregon Pacific Bank, will be taking over as the new Coos Bay Branch Manager. We are confident that Stacey will bring her own unique set of skills and expertise to this position and will help to ensure that our Coos Bay branch continues to be a valuable asset to the community.

August 20, 1933 – April 23, 2022

Verna Fay Whiting, née Conner, formerly of North Bend and Bandon, passed away after a short illness at her residence in Eugene on April 23, 2023. She was 89.

Fay was born in Julesberg, Colorado, on August 20, 1933, to Arlie and Violet Conner. Fay’s mother nicknamed her “Faderbug” due to her overflowing energy. She was the third of four children, two boys and two girls. She was preceded in death by one of her brothers, Arlie Richard; and by her sister, Jessie Ann (Miller).

Fay’s family moved to Oakridge in 1949. There she met and married Murile “Pete” Peterson. Fay and Pete moved to Coos Bay in the mid-1950s, where they raised three children, Daniel Merle (deceased), Lee Ann (Weddle) and Laurel Fay (Smith). Fay obtained her LPN license and

worked at Keizer Hospital in North Bend.

Following Fay and Pete’s divorce Fay met and married Dr. Ralph Edward Whiting, a local physician, in 1975. With Ed’s encouragement Fay obtained her private pilot’s license, a SCUBA diving license, a cosmetology license, and a real estate license. Fay was always up for an adventure, and together she and Ed traveled extensively, both for pleasure and to fill medical positions throughout the United States.

Fay and Ed enjoyed hiking and working on their beloved property on the beach north of Bandon. Fay also loved to dress up and go dancing. She and Ed formed many lasting friendships and were a welcome fixture at dance venues up and down the Oregon Coast.

After Ed’s death in January of this year,

Fay’s dancing was interrupted temporarily until she could join him in heaven.

Fay is survived by her brother, David; daughters, Lee Ann and Laurel; grandson, Daniel Wayne Peterson; granddaughter, Lindsey Smith; stepsons, Michael, David and Jeff Whiting; stepdaughter, Carrie Goodfellow; many great grandchildren; a greatgreat granddaughter, Penelope Parry; and many dear friends.

At Fay’s request no memorial service is planned.

eat and how to escape from predators and other dangers.

Unfortunately, every year around this time, ODFW offices, licensed wildlife rehabilitators, and even Oregon State Police are flooded with calls from well-intentioned people who picked up a deer fawn, elk calf, fledgling bird learning to fly, or other young animal they assumed was orphaned because it was alone.

Even if they receive care from a wildlife rehabilitator, successfully returning a young animal to the wild is not always possible. Options for long-term placement in wildlife sanctuaries or zoos are limited and animals often must be euthanized since they lack the survival skills to be released back into the wild.

Some animals can also become dangerous

as they grow into adults and pose a serious threat to human safety.

Here’s how to help instead:

• Keep pets and other domestic animals away from wildlife. Pets will stress wildlife, especially if there are young wildlife or fledgling birds in your yard.

Keep dogs on a leash when recreating outside. Keep cats indoors to protect them and our native wildlife.

• If you are certain an animal is orphaned because you observed the parent animal deceased, or you see an animal that is injured, please call ODFW, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or OSP for advice.

• Don’t feed wildlife. All species of wildlife have a specialized diet that coincides with seasonal changes.

Access to human-provided food can negatively impact their health, lead to conflict with humans and in many cases have fatal consequences.

Marine mammals

Harbor seal pups are born in late March through April.

Females often leave their pups at haul-outs or along sandy beaches while searching for food.

Never pick up or handle a seal pup or any other marine mammal you find at the beach.

Beachgoers should stay away from resting seals and sea lions and keep dogs away from these animals as well.

Marine mammal strandings should be reported to OSP’s hotline at 1-800-452-7888.

South Coast golfers finish second at state

Three South Coast golfers were runners-up in their respective state tournaments last week and Bandon’s boys also earned a team trophy in the Class 3A-2A-1A event.

North Bend’s Owen

Bascom finished second in the Class 4A state tournament at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis, one shot behind Ontario’s Tyce Helmick.

Bascom, a sophomore, led after shooting a 1-under par 71 on the opening day Monday and followed up with a 73 on Tuesday to finish at even par. Helmick, a senior, seized the medalist honors by making six birdies in his final eight holes.

Marshfield’s Oscar Day finished one shot out of 10th place, tying for 11th with rounds of 78 and 81.

North Bend was sixth and Marshfield seventh in the final team standings. Baker won the title with a two-day total of 613. The Dalles took the final trophy, fourth place, at 685, while Cascade was at 686 and North Bend at 688. Marshfield finished at 725.

North Bend’s other golfers were David Roberts, who finished 21st (169), Behr Gordon, who was 39th (188), Carter Knutson who was 40th (189) and Dashul Gordon tied for 42nd (193)

en/Griswold team, with the winner moving on to face St. Paul.

The quarterfinals, for the winners of Wednesday’s games, will be played Friday, with the semifinals next Tuesday.

CLASS 4A: North Bend and Marshfield both lost their play-in games last week, coming up short of reaching the 16-team bracket.

The Bulldogs, who finished second in the Sky-Em League, fell at home to Seaside 4-3 in a game that went eight innings Friday.

Marshfield, which tied for fourth but earned one of the final spots in the play-in round because of its spot in the power rankings, fell at Newport 6-3 on Thursday.

SOFTBALL

CLASS 4A: Marshfield will host Astoria in a first-round

game Tuesday after winning the Sky-Em League in dramatic fashion with a doubleheader sweep of North Bend last week.

The Pirates tuned up for the playoffs by beating Glide 10-3 on Wednesday and then falling to North Douglas, one of the top small-school teams in the state, 7-1 on Thursday.

Astoria finished 9-3 in the Cowapa League, the same record as league champion St. Helens, which won two of the three meetings with the Fishermen.

The winner of Tuesday’s game will face either No. 2 seed The Dalles or No. 15 seed Seaside on Friday. North Bend missed a chance at the 16-team playoff bracket when the Bulldogs were stunned by visiting Seaside 13-11 in the play-in round Friday at home. North Bend built a 10-0 lead on the Seagulls through

two innings, but Seaside chipped away and won by scoring six runs in the seventh inning.

“This one hurt in a big way,” North Bend coach John Olson said.

The Seagulls also scored three runs in the fifth and two in the sixth in their rally.

Mckenzie Breakfield had a double and home run for North Bend, scored twice and drove in three runs. Laila Veloz had three hits, two runs and two RBIs.

Mira Riddle had two hits, two runs and two RBIs and Emma Spalding and Angel Adrade each also had two hits.

“No matter the outcome, it doesn’t change how I feel about this group,” Olson said.

“I do love the time I have spent with them and I am extremely sad to see the ending we had.”

CLASS 2A-1A: Reedsport and Myrtle Point both were on the road Monday afternoon in the first round of the playoffs.

The Brave, who finished second in District 3, were at the combined Union/Cove team with a chance to advance to play Blanchet Catholic in Salem in the second round Wednesday.

Myrtle Point, which finished third, was at Glendale with the winner traveling to face Lowell in the second round Wednesday.

Myrtle Point got into the playoffs when Bandon capped a strong finish to the regular season by beating Waldport in the regular-season finale and denying the Irish a chance to tie Myrtle Point for third.

Bandon finished 5-7 and won its last three games, including a victory over Reedsport.

Track athletes advance to state meet

The World North Bend and Marshfield both qualified a number of athletes for this week’s Class 4A state track meet in Eugene by placing first or second at the district meet in North Bend over the weekend.

Get to work

I am disappointed to hear that Republican senators, including Senator Dick Anderson, support the Republicans for walking off the job and shutting down the legislative session. The communities on the Oregon Coast are facing serious challenges, and we need our lawmakers to show up to work, not abandon their responsibilities.

It is frustrating to see Senate Republicans deny the will of the voters, who have made it clear that they oppose costly walkouts. In fact, voters in 34 of 36 Oregon counties, including those on the coast, overwhelmingly voted in favor of Measure 113, which sends a clear message that lawmakers need to show up and do their job. That’s the will of the people.

When Senate Republicans walk out on the job, they are not only walking out on their constituents, but they are also putting critical issues on hold. At Unite Oregon where I work, we are focusing on bills ranging from food for all Oregonians, emergency housing, guaranteeing the right to vote, and Community Resilience Hubs. These bills will help our coast to be more resilient in the face of climate change, but they’re stuck, not able to move forward.

We need our lawmakers to be present and working to address these challenges, not walking out and delaying the work of the people.

I urge Senator Anderson and his colleagues to reconsider their actions and to prioritize the needs of their constituents over their personal political interests.

Objectivity

I’ve noticed from time to time The World confuses its editorial stance with its journalistic obligations. For example, on May 16, page A4, “State Rep. Boice Issues Statement . . .”, in the first paragraph is the following sentence: Republicans plan on doing everything within our power to uphold the law, including seeking remedy from the courts for the unlawful actions by the presiding officers.”

When a news article says “our power” one can assume it is using the editorial “we”’ “us” “our” and that, in this case, “Republicans” and “The World” are one and the same. Has The World determined that “unlawful actions” are being conducted by the “presiding officers?” I don’t think so. But it sounds like it. I suggest that political press releases be looked at more closely. At least pretend to be objective.

Stop it now

Recently a friend picked up a copy of The Patriot Times from our property manager. I was pleased to see that the publisher had put out a call to end attacks against a business that had provided a safe place for an event that involved drag and bingo.

I was extremely disheartened to read that the business owner had received death threats and verbal abuse after hosting this event. When I was taking care of my grandmother in Billings, Montana, a group of far-right extremist started targeting Jews, then Blacks, and finally the queer community.

The “Not in Our Town” movement gained international recognition when we

stopped the attacks. Churches united with local citizens to stand against hate. I sincerely hope the citizens of Coos Bay will recognize that recent attacks against business owners, nonprofit organizations, schools, libraries, and local governments are part of a larger movement to further divide us when we need to be finding common ground. Fear is a great motivator for violence.

Let’s stop it now. We don’t need it in our town.

No more mistakes

I have been asked by several people to write a Letter to the Editor like I used to do, but I feel nobody really wants to hear what I have to say, because everyone has their minds made up and I am never going to change them. People don’t want to hear TRUTH anymore. People are afraid to watch FOX NEWS because they don’t want to really see what is going on with their own eyes.

If I watch BIDEN stumbling in his speeches and telling outright lies that everyone knows is a lie. And telling so many false stories that make no sense, then I am watching him do this, I know what I just seen. But liberals don’t want to really see this so they watch stations such as CNN and MSNBC that won’t show them BIDEN’S bumbling idiot speeches, only speeches he reads correctly from his teleprompter. His mistakes are hidden from liberals who are kept in the dark about anything BIDEN does wrong.

So my advising anyone to vote for Republicans is going unheard.

People seem to like our high prices in the grocery store, our high gas prices, our high rent prices, etc. Can you tell me what has went good since BIDEN got in office?

No, you cannot, because nothing has gotten better, only worse. Have you been watching all the people rushing over the border the last few days?

You don’t like Trump, fine, but our country was going in the right direction with him. I don’t care about his harsh words, or insults, or girlfriends, that so many of you worry so much about, even tho most of you have done similar things or made bad decisions in life. I probably won’t be here to vote again, but please don’t make another mistake and vote Democrat.

Did You Hear?

Dominion Voting Systems won a HUGE $787,500,000 defamation settlement from Fox Corp April 18th. After the 2020 national election, Fox knowingly and continually lied about supposed inaccuracies from Dominion voting machines, despite Dominion sending Fox over 2,000 emails refuting those claims. Many Fox execs knew the claims weren’t true about Dominion, according to pre-trial discovery of in-house emails, texts, and audio recordings. Rupert Murdoch even admitted under oath it was “about green, not red or blue”. The judge decreed that discovery had proven Fox lied about Dominion’s machines and that they could not challenge that fact in trial. Fox settled minutes before the trial was set to begin. No apology, no trial, no testimony from Fox News employees or execs. Fox had to settle rather

By Laura Pritchett

I learned to shoot on the family ranch, as ranch kids are wont to do. My gun education was furthered at a Catholic summer camp, and I still have my paper target proving my marksmanship. Hunter safety classes, and calm, clear-eyed common sense. This was the rural approach to guns I grew up with.

Then it’s a story we all know: Guns became politicized. Polarized. Lobby-ized. Humans are good at inventing things, so guns got more militarized as they turned into weapons of mass destruction. Our laws, sadly, didn’t keep up, because humans can also move quite slowly.

Then, I had children, and suddenly, active-shooter drills were part of their curriculum.

And then, on Valentine’s Day 2018, parents across Fort Collins, Colorado, received emails informing us that our children had been in a lockdown drill at roughly the same time that 17 children were being killed in Florida.

My brain fritzed out with confusion: Here a drill, but in Florida, children were being mowed down. Relief, and yet also great grief. Other mothers were getting different news.

My kids came home, stunned, and recounted their drill instructions, which included advice such as: “If you must fight to save your life, fight with all your might, using anything within reach as a weapon.”

Yes, kids, please fight with all your might against a grownup with a semi-automatic.

What a sad curriculum.

What a sad country. Many of us know this. Many of us keep saying the same thing over and over, and a few loud voices keep pushing back. Why even discuss interpretations of the murkily written Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, written at

Guest Column

a time when muskets were the weapon of the day? Some conversations aren’t worth having.

What I am interested in is brainstorming real solutions— with like-minded people who also felt a real crack in their hearts every day that innocent people are mowed down, which, it seems, is nearly every day. A day without a shooting now seems the exception.

It strikes me that besides gun zealotry or idolatry, the other tragedy here is our seeming unwillingness to act. Really act. Act like grownups. My daughter and friends helped organize a walkout to protest gun violence, which spread to other schools. Kids poured out of the high schools and toward the town center, and parents rode their bikes or walked alongside — especially near the coal-rolling trucks filled with counter-protesters that heckled them from the roads.

This was the first act of civil disobedience for most, borne out of a mix of desperation and courage.

Even as the kids gathered to pass the mic and speak, my heart was sunk even lower. Why? I knew what you know: Nothing would really change. Not until the adults of this country protested seriously, left work, took to the streets. The students protested, marched, wrote letters, made calls, and I watched, knowing. Adults wouldn’t go the distance. There’s not enough will.

It’s ironic: I grew up with guns, but my salient memory of childhood was peaceful summer walks through a green field, carrying a .22 to go practice shooting. Tragically, that is not true for youngsters today. They might not shoot as much, but they’re the ones forced by our irresponsibility and inaction to have it forefront in their minds and hearts.

So, solutions. I celebrate

Moms Demand Action, a group founded by a mother of five right after the Sandy Hook tragedy, based on her belief that all Americans should do more to reduce gun violence. No group has “risen so far, so fast, influencing laws, rattling major corporations, and provoking vicious responses from hardcore gun rights activists,” according to Mother Jones.

Although I’m all for background checks and safety locks, these seem like tiny bandages on a gaping wound. The big thing we can do is ban assault weapons immediately, and, even more importantly, elect gun-sensible politicians who don’t take NRA money. If not Moms Demand Action, there is the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and Gun Owners for Safety. All these groups need people willing to spend some time calling legislators, step up, protest. People like you. People who believe in common sense. People who believe in childhood.

than have a damning trial possibly exposed to their viewers. Fox barely acknowledged the settlement on-air and buried it on-line, further keeping their viewers in the dark. This is how they treated them, with lies to back up the fraudulent claim that the election was stolen in order to keep viewers. They put profits over truth. They even complained about and mocked the former president off-air. “He’s a demonic force, a destroyer”, said Tucker Carlson about him. Agreed.

These viewers are my family, and neighbors, and this letter is a way to get this news into the community. They have been fed countless unfounded stories about the fraudulence of the 2020 election which has hugely helped to divide our communities and nation.

Tucker’s firing doesn’t fix it. What else is a lie, a half-truth in search of $ and power?

Why does Fox still have a broadcast license after knowingly lying as a news organization? More importantly,

how many of my Fox-viewing neighbors know about the revelations of this lawsuit, and about the lawsuits coming up: by Smartmatic, by Carlson’s producer; and against Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and others?

Fortunately, more truths will be exposed in the days and months to come in courts of law and by real journalists defending democracy, not by Murdoch’s talking heads.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL

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

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

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

ABOUT YOUR TENANCY

AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE

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

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

Recreation season kicks off at Oregon Dunes

Staff and volunteers of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area (ODNRA) are busy preparing campgrounds and trails for summer visitors. This year, Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) motorists will notice more safety education and sound monitoring activities. These will include courtesy sound checks, sound enforcement checkpoints and sound education programming. “We are excited to welcome summer visitors to the dunes,” said Central

Coast Deputy District Ranger Jeremy Aujero. “As a multiuse recreation area, there is a place here for everyone.

With that in mind, we’d like to remind visitors to respect closures, out-of-bounds zones, noise limits, and quiet hours. We appreciate everyone’s help to care for the land and provide a family-friendly place where people can visit for generations to come.”

Safety is paramount to ensuring a family-friendly environment at the ODNRA and this season, there will be

a greater emphasis on noise safety levels.

Forest Service staff and partner agencies will be conducting a variety of sound outreach, education, monitoring, and enforcement activities on the ODNRA intended to help OHV riders understand what the sound limit is, why it’s important, and how to comply.

OHVs found to be in violation of the sound limit may be subject to citation. Excessive sound poses a potential disturbance to

adjacent landowners, other recreationists, and sensitive wildlife.

Noise regulation and monitoring are important aspects of OHV management. The Oregon Dunes Management Plan (1994) establishes standards for OHV sound rules and sound monitoring.

The current OHV sound limit for the ODNRA is 93 decibels.

Several scheduled events at the ODRNA may increase visitation at various times:

• UTV Takeover: June

21-25. Expect heavy traffic Horsfall and Hauser area and the entire southern portion of the dunes. Some entrances may have restricted access. • Dune Fest: August 8-13. Expect heavy traffic in the Umpqua Day Use areas. Some entrances may have restricted access.

For more information about recreation opportunities, please visit the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area website or call the Reedsport office at 541-2716000.

Local students create art for Bay Area Hospital

By BREE LAUGHLIN The World

The Bay Area Hospital celebrated National Hospital Week on May 7 to 13 in a plethora of ways. “We have so much to celebrate with our caregivers. They have taken on unimaginable challenges over the last few years and have risen to the occasion in service to our community,” said Kim Winker, Bay Area Hospital’s director of marketing and communications.

One of the many ways hospital week is celebrated is with local children. Bay Area Hospital invited local schools to honor their healthcare team by participating in an art project. This year the team was inspired by the theme, “Living Beautifully for One Another.”

“We send the invitation out in February. What comes back to us in April is imaginative and diverse, yet it always comes together to form something beautiful,” said Chaplain Coordinator Lindsay Moore. “Each school is sent an invitation and the same writing prompt, and teachers and students devise their own inter-

pretation of the words.”

Their creativity is a one-of-a-kind display on exhibit at Bay Area Hospital for the entire month of May. The ages of the students range from preschoolers to 8th-graders. Each puts their time and talents into their project to show appreciation for hospital staff.

The team at the hospital is grateful for the cheerful art that brings joy into their space. This year they got so much art that they had to spread it to every floor of the hospital.

“People love to visit the different exhibits throughout the facility. It spreads joy to every person that passes,” Winker said.

This year’s participating schools include: Bright Beginnings Learning Center, Christ Lutheran School, Eastside School, Gold Coast Christian, Hillcrest Elementary, Kingsview Christian School, The Lighthouse School, Madison Elementary, Marshfield Jr. High School, Millicoma School, North Bay Elementary, North Bend Middle School, Riverview Christian School and SCESD Early Child-
