North Bend chooses interim superintendent State Accountability

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

The North Bend School District selected Vince Swagerty to serve as interim superintendent for at least the next school year.

After meeting with the four finalists, which included Tim Crider, Patrick Mayer and Marc Thielman, the board chose to offer Swagerty the interim job. In a press release issued Wednesday, North Bend School District said the appointment is pending successful contract negotiations.

Moving to North Bend will

be a big step up for Swagerty, who currently serves as superintendent of the tiny Mitchell School District in Mitchell, Ore. The one-school district sits in the tiny town of Mitchell, with a population of just 130.

While Swagerty currently lives and works in Central Oregon, he does have a lot of experience in the South Coast region. Before taking the superintendent’s job in Mitchell, Swagerty served as principal of Reedsport Community Charter School for three years.

He also served as principal of C.S. Lewis Academy in Newberg for two years and administrator at Open Bible Christian School for two years.

Swagerty will be replacing Superintendent Kevin Bogatin, who will be leaving the district June 30 to take the superintendent’s role in Tumwater, Washington.

Bogatin has served as superintendent since 2019, leading the district through the COVID pandemic.

When Bogatin announced he was leaving, he said he will

miss the students and staff who have worked so hard during his tenure.

“We have made a lot of progress together and I know the district is headed in the right direction in many areas,” he said. “There is still plenty of work and challenges for the next leadership team, but there is an abundance of talent, experience, and knowledge in this district to tap into. I have been truly blessed to work with an amazing group of people, and I will miss you and this wonderful community.”

Forging an alternative pathway to graduation

Students from Resource Link Charter School make their way to their seats to open the commencement ceremonies Thursday.

Thirty-three students who might have been lost without alternative means of education walked across the stage Thursday to receive high school diplomas.

Destinations Academy had 23 graduates while Resource Link Charter School had 10.

Both schools are part of the Coos Bay School District, but they give students a different route to graduation.

Destinations graduates Buddy Lockwood and Samuel Cagley shared their stories, saying without Destinations

they would not have graduated on time. In part due to COVID and in part due to other issues, both students fell way behind after their sophomore years.

They were given two options. Stay at Marshfield and stay in high school five years or move to Destinations and have a chance to graduate in four. Both chose Destinations, which offers individual learning plans for each student.

Lockwood said he was still well behind entering this year, but by working with Principal Kayla Crook and his teachers, he was able to catch up.

“Destinations helped get me in the right direction,” Cagley said.

Coos County: Fire Season Fast Approaching

By RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

Fire season is fast approaching, the Coos Forest Protective Association wants you to know.

In a press release on June 1, the association announced that its time to start thinking about fire prevention.

“Now is the time to start thinking about fire prevention. The rain events over the last month have helped keep the start of fire season from coming early, but fire season will be here soon.

Every sunny and windy day brings us closer to the start of fire season,” the statement read.

Jeff Chase with Coos Forest Protective Association said that despite the heavy rainfall and solid snowpack throughout the winter and spring – statewide snow-

pack levels reaching 189% of normal levels in April – things are starting to dry out. He predicted a “normal fire season for the left side of the cascades.”

Once fire season does go into effect in Coos County, all debris burning will be prohibited. But with fire season so close, Chase said its best to hold off on big piles until the fall or winter.

“We encourage people that burn barrels right now are fine or small piles that will burn up in a day,” Chase said. “But those big piles will hold heat for over a month, so hold off on those until fall or winter. If you have large piles, waiting for significant wetting rains in the fall is the safest option for burning them.”

Chase said that the debris burn ban is in place because of ongoing issues involving unattended burn piles and Coos County’s unpredictable winds, but that Please see FIRE SEASON Page A3

Committee Holds First Meeting, Confronted Over Senate Walkout

By RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

The Joint Committee on Oversight and Accountability held its first-ever meeting last night. Attendees used to public hearing section to demand Oregon Senators return to the legislature after walking out just over a month ago.

The Joint Committee is a bicameral committee comprised of six senators and six representatives, with six of the spots currently held by Republican and Independent legislators.

The remaining six spots have been reserved for Democratic legislators, but as of the first meeting, none have agreed to join the committee. Committee members were hopeful more Democrats would join.

“I look forward to the day that some of our Democrat colleagues will join us. I have been speaking with them and think that it’s not unrealistic that there will be some opportunity in the future.

So, I look forward to that,” co-chair and House Republican Leader Vikki Breese Iverson said.

Committee members include Senator Tim Knopp, Oregon Senate Minority Leader and co-chair; Representative Vikki Breese, House Republican Leader and co-chair; Representative Greg Smith, who is on the Ways and Means Committee; Representative Warner Reschke, who is also on the Ways and Means Committee; Senator Dick Anderson; and Representative Brian Hilcrest.

At the meeting, Senator Knopp stated that the committee was created because it’s members “believe strongly in oversight and accountability and don’t believe that was happening in the legislature. And there were plenty of issues that needed to be addressed.”

Senator Knopp said many of those issues surround the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission. An investigation into the commission earlier this year found that multiple highlevel employees hoarded bourbon for personal use, among other things.

“House and Senate Republican and Independent leaders sent letters in March and April urging the Governor to launch independent, nonpartisan investigations into the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission’s (OLCC) (1) potential favorable treatment of land acquisitions; (2) alleged rare liquor distribution; Please see OVERSIGHT Page A3

Sharon Louise Whitney Stuhlmiller Jan. 31, 1945 to May 28, 2023

After enjoying the coolness of the morning breeze and the plantings in her Northeast Portland gardens, Sharon exchanged loving words with her sister, Donna, settled in her wheelchair, and found eternal peace.

For over five decades, Sharon had contended with the disabilities from multiple sclerosis.

Sharon credited her longevity to Dr. Roy Swank’s influence and his early research for patients with multiple sclerosis. She appreciated her team of doctors at Providence Medical Group and Oregon Health & Science University, both in Portland.

Over the course of her life she had an extensive array of doctors from San Francisco to Portland.

Determined to embrace life as long as she could, Sharon traveled to Montana last year for her great nephew’s high school graduation and visited her uncle and cousins in Qualicum Beach, on Vancouver Island. Sharon sang a rousing “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain” while accompanied by her uncle on his ukulele. Her personal favorite was Gordon’s rendition of, “I Passed

by Your Window”. Sharon was born in New Westminster, B.C. Canada as WW II was ending and emigrated to the U.S. with her family as young child.

This spring, she hosted her nephew, Jack from Edinburgh, Scotland. In May, several of her family members visited to wish her well and to see her new apartment that was decorated with family photographs and memorabilia. Sharon still had trips on her “bucket list”. One was to sail up the Columbia River with a granddaughter, another to attend her great granddaughter’s graduation from Eastern Oregon University, third to visit her youngest great granddaughter in England, and a fourth was to attend her uncle’s 99th birthday party.

She was involved with her children’s activities: room mother, den mother, and with her husband Terry provided leadership for the 4-H Horse Program: Horses & Horsemanship. The Hauser Dune Riders competed and won numerous ribbons during those years. Sharon was proud of the blue ribbon she won at the state fair for knitting.

Her family remembers holding a fashion show and modeling various garments she had made.

Fire Season From A1

the debris burn ban has really helped.

“Around here, the biggest issues we run into are people leaving the pile and then going somewhere else, or people burning when its windy out,” Chase said.

“A lot of people assume that if it’s not smoky, it’s out. Until we get a nice 30-mile-and-hour windy day and things come to life. We’ve been able to prevent a lot of fires by not allowing people to debris burn during the summer.”

The debris burning ban specifically applies to the burning of debris in Coos County, but not campfires. In addition to cities having their own burning restrictions,

public lands also have restrictions based on the National Fire Danger Rating System. Chase said that when the National Fire Danger Rating System hits extreme, no fires are allowed at all.

“Once we go into fire season, we start using the daily fire danger [meter]. Public restrictions go off the National Fire Danger Rating System, which are low, moderate, high and extreme,” Chase said.

“When we hit extreme, we don’t allow campfires, period. At moderate or high, you should really be in a designated campgrounds where there’s a manager or host that checks to make sure people are putting their campfires out.”

For those who go camping during fire season and plan to

have a campfire, Chase encouraged checking both the National Fire Danger Rating System and the local restrictions for the area to be camped. Some private campgrounds are even more restrictive than the county. And of course, always safely maintain and control a fire if you do have one, Chase said.

While Chase asked the public to “be prepared,” because the start of fire season and the debris burning ban could come as soon as next week, he wants people to know that fire season in Coos County has not officially started.

“We often get confusion in the Gold Beach area because they get their news out of Medford. Medford went into fire season yesterday.

Public Asks Republican Senators to Return to Legislature During the public hearing section of the meeting, multiple members of the public asked Republican Senators return to the legislature. Republican Senators staged a walkout on May 2 after insisting the legislature has failed to comply with state laws mandating bill summaries be written at an eighth-grade reading level. Democrats believe they’re trying to prevent votes on bills protecting abortion rights and limiting guns. Since then, the Senate has been unable to do any work without a required quorum of 20 of its 30 members.

One member of the public,REEDSPORT Mrs. Baker Croft, stated that the elephant in theREEDSPORT room was the fact REEDSPORT

that the Senate could not form a quorum, impacting school budgets among for next year, among other things.

“When I heard about this meeting, I was so excited and I don’t doubt that OLCC and our Secretary of State require oversight, but the biggest glaring elephant in the room is the fact that the senate has not been able to form a quorum,” she said. “They have not been able to move forward. As an educator, I was explaining this to our middle school students. If there is no budget passed because of the absence of too many people to cause a quorum, the state schools will stay at the same level, and yet the increases in students and inflation will cause us to be losing things in schools. So, I am here begging you to look into that elephant in the room.”

Brian Ettling, a park ranger at Crater Lake National Park for 30 years, pleaded with Republican Senators to show up and do their job.

“I know with my job I had to show up for work every day,” Ettling said. “I couldn’t choose what programs I did and didn’t want to do.

I ask the same thing of all your Republican senators: Show up on the floor and do your job.”

Janette Lorentson directed the Joint Committee’s attention to one of the many acts currently pending in the legislature, the Inflation Reduction Act, which she said needs to be passed.

“Oregon has once in a generation opportunity right now so receive as much as $8 billion in federal funding created by the Inflation Reduction Act,” Lorentson said. “This can protect Oregonians from heatwaves, forest fires, and drought. I’m here to ask you to fulfill your duty to show up and have a quorum. We cannot leave $8 billion on the table when it could be helping with the human misery that climate change causes in Oregon.”

As of the publication date, no future Joint Committee on Oversight and Accountability meetings were scheduled.

Obituaries (Continued on page A5) Don Lochman

Christopher James Common

May 1, 1941 – May 11, 2023

October 19, 1946 – June 1, 2023

Don was born in Walker, Minnesota on May 1, 1941, and passed on May 11, 2023, at home in Hauser.

Don grew up in Myrtle Creek, Oregon and started working at a young age in his dad’s mechanic shop and mom’s restaurant. After graduating high school Don took off to Alaska where he spent most of is working years before retiring and moving to North Bend.

Don was by trade a diesel mechanic and welder and traveled all over Alaska putting his skills to good use at logging sites, building roads, and construction sites. Don also worked as a logger and fisherman.

Don done a lot of traveling all over the USA and really enjoyed those trips. Once he settled down in North Bend, he got into horse riding and said that was some of the best fun he ever had. He got Mariah and Gray Shadow (Arabs) and rode all over the dunes daily with his dogs, RT, AL and Bob by his side. He took part in trail rides, parades, gaming and a few cattle drives up in Montana. Don, his horses,

and dogs traveled in Don’s most prized possession a 1946 truck and horse trailer that he completely rebuilt his self. It became his true passion in life.

When not out horse riding he could be found in his shop putting his mechanic and welding skills to use tinker on something all the time & always willing to help out a good friend.

For the last 6 years Don was joined by his new sidekick, Reva Roe, a Catahoula pup that he said he finally found something more stubborn than he was. Together they traveled all over and could often be found running the sand dunes in a 4x4.

Reva now lives with a friend of Don’s but grieves for her lost friend.

In the last few months during our many long conversations Don had this to say about his life “I lived a good life and experienced so many things. I’m sorry for nothing, did the best with what I had, don’t be sad when I am gone, I am happy with my life. What a ride!”

Don’s ashes will be spread where his horses and dogs lay at rest. Per his wishes no services will be held.

Joseph Gleich July 27, 1942 – May 31, 2023

Joseph Gleich, 80, of North Bend (fun fact, one of the few people who literally didn’t have a middle name) passed away on May 31, 2023 in Coos Bay with his wife of 58 years by his bedside. Born and raised in New Jersey, he came of age in New York City before meeting his college sweetheart, a Brooklyn beauty, in Connecticut. Joseph and Susan got married, had a daughter, Stephanie, and then Michele, before his brilliant business acumen provided him extremely early retirement after working, living, and playing in Illinois, Ohio, Colorado and California.

Joseph promptly set about donating to every nonprofit and investing in every for profit that needed it in his community. He built his wife her dream home, and he bought his young daughters ponies – a dream come true. He volunteered to stack hay bales, even though he suffered from hay fever, he volunteered to hand out hot chocolate at his kid’s ski races even though he despised the cold, he volunteered to man the Christmas tree lot even though he was Jewish, and he volunteered as the disabled parking enforcement official in Coos Bay even though he lived in neighboring North

A Celebration of Life will be held for Christopher J. Common, 76, of North Bend, on Sunday, July 9, 2023 at 1:00 p.m. at the Coos History Museum, 1210 N. Front Street in Coos Bay. On the morning of June 1, 2023 Christopher James Common passed away at the age of 76. Chris was born to James and Shirley Common in San Diego, California in 1946.

He received his Bachelor’s degree in 1969 from San Diego State University. He then served four years in the United States Coast Guard.

During this time he married his wife of 52 years, Gail Common. Together they raised three children, Michael, Jeffery and Sarah. Chris worked as a tug captain for over 42 years for Coos Bay Towboat. He also traveled and worked on tugs all over the world. He was a volunteer firefighter for the North Bend Fire Department for over 20 years.

Chris enjoyed white water rafting, camping, playing the guitar and spending time with his family and friends. Over the past 20 years, he wrote and published five books.

Chris is survived by his wife, Gail; daughter, Sarah; sister, Sherilyn; eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Mike is sorely missed by his family and friends. His passing is a monumental loss to his family simply because he meant so much to so many.

Shortly before his passing, he relayed the following message to his children which speaks to the kind of man and father he was: “All I want you to say and remember is that we had fun.”

Mike is survived by his daughter, Megan Lucas (Reno) of North Bend; his sons, Ryan Goll (Amanda) of North Bend and Andrew Goll of Medford; granddaughter, Skylar Lucas of North Bend; and grandsons, Aiden Lucas of Medford and Gehrig Goll of North Bend.

He is preceded in death by his mother, Elizabeth Louise (Osborne) Goll; father, John “Jack” Elmer Goll, and his grandmother, Katherine Rose Goll.

Prepare to be amazed when world-famous magician Jeff Evans graces the Mingus Park Stage Monday, June 26, at 6:30 p.m. for the Coos Bay Public Library’s Summer Reading Program.

Jeff Evans’ career as a professional magician started from a book on coin tricks he read when he was 12 years old. Today, he performs hundreds of shows each year, proof that anything you want to learn can be found in books. Two consecutive years ParentMap Magazine awarded him a “Golden Teddy” for Best Live Entertainment and his peers in magic named him “Seattle’s Funniest Magician.” In the event of rain, the event will be held in the Myrtlewood Room at the Coos Bay Public Library.

The event is part of the Coos Bay Public Library’s annual Summer Reading Program. During the summer, the Library offers both a reading challenge and programming for all ages which encourage people to read, learn, connect and find their voice. Beginning June 19 and continuing through August 19, participants of any age can participate in the summer reading bingo challenge, earning badges and entry into prize drawings. Participants who register will get a special prize for entering. This year, people can participate either online or using a paper bingo sheet. Challenge registration is available on the Library’s website or at the Coos Bay Public Library.

The World

A Country Media Newspaper 172 Anderson Ave., Coos Bay, OR 97420 WorldEditor@CountryMedia.net TheWorldLink.com/opinion

Opinions expressed on this page are the writer’s alone and do not represent the opinion of the newspaper or its parent company, Country Media, Inc.

Letters to the Editor Keep the incumbents Dear Editor and Coos Curry Electric Cooperative members The decision of whom to vote for in the Coos Curry Electric Director election is quite obvious to me.

The Incumbents, Cheryl McMahan and Daryl Robison, each have nearly 40 years experience in the electric utility industry. They are well known and respected by other cooperative directors and managers throughout the northwest. They have excellent records and Coos and Curry counties are fortunate to have their contributions.

Robison and McMahan along with the management and their fellow directors are striving to bring southwest Oregon the very best possible services.

One opponent, former Curry Commissioner Sue Gold, simply cannot be trusted with anything as important as our electric system and here is just one of many examples why; During last week’s County budget committee meeting, Treasurer David Barnes was being questioned as to why he has not reconciled to the county’s books since 2022.

His answer was that due to the commissioners failed and very expensive experiment into an untested financial program known as OpenGov; Mr. Barnes claims he actually got so far behind, he could not catch up. The county finally pulled the OpenGov plug in 2021.

As a County Commissioner, I initially voted in favor of OpenGov, but just days after, prior to the contracts being finalized and before we paid one dime, I saw the error of the move for our county. At that point and on several occasions, I begged Commissioners Sue Gold and Chris Paasch to vote with me and immediately cancel the project. They refused to abandon the untested software and Curry ultimately wasted months and hundreds of thousands of dollars on a product that never worked.

Again, this is just one of many well documented examples as County Commissioner of Gold’s wasteful spending and terribly poor decisions.

Fact: she either instigated or pushed hard for eight different lawsuits I vehemently opposed and our county lost them all – staggering costly! Coos Curry Electric Cooperative is too important to entrust to Gold.

I’ll vote to re-elect Cheryl McMahan and Daryl Robison.

They have spent decades working hard to build and improve our communities.

They are the kind of people we need directing CCEC. Court Boice Gold Beach I support Crider After attending the Forum for the Interim Superintendent in the North Bend Middle School and the School Board Meeting at the North Bend City Council Chambers (6-12023) it is clear that Timothy Crider should be the North Bend School District Superintendent.

District teachers and high school students alike support Tim Crider by poster, report and signed petition.

Mr. Crider has worked with students for 21 years - 10 years in North Bend. He has performed jobs including coach, teacher, principal, business manager and human resource director. He has

successfully negotiated with the union by listening and talking with them about our complex $62 million budget. As the current Director of Business Services, Mr. Crider presented the new HVAC system for Hillcrest Elementary School to the school board for their approval. The board asked questions about this detailed three-phase project.

The Head of Maintenance outlined the boiler’s replacement. Mr. Crider explained how this budgeted item was fully funded. After one board member verified the cost, the board approved this needed upgrade. This was transparency and government at work.

The school board is choosing a new Superintendent. The district had a final online survey (now closed). I became concerned when our school board meetings were disrupted by non-district residents. It reminded me of an article I had read by Jonathan Levinson, Oregon Public Broadcasting, RegisterGuard; “Extremists winning positions in Northwest politics”.(4/9/23) I am writing this letter to state my lack of confidence in our current school board.

They interviewed a person who defied federal and state law during a public crisis, “resigned” his position as Superintendent (without renewing his professional license in a timely fashion), and found time to run for governor (including campaigning that insurgents who attempted to overthrown our United States Government were justified).

Without a doubt, Timothy Crider is my first choice, Patrick Mayer my second and Vince Swaggerty my third. If you are a resident of the North Bend School District, please email your Superintendent Choices to mbryan@nbend.k12.or.us or jim.jordan@nbend.k12.or.us, or call the Board Secretary at 541-751-6797.

Rae Lea Cousens North Bend Lions, and tigers, and bears…

OH MY! Just like lions, and tigers, and bears in the Wizard of Oz, the terms socialism, politically correct and woke are used to conjure up images of things to be feared. This practice does not serve political discussion well.

“Socialism” can be defined and implemented in different ways involving various degrees of collective or government ownership.

Some dangerously extreme, such as North Korea. Some not so threatening to many of us, such as cooperatives, unemployment insurance, Social Security, or Medicare.

The term, “politically correct,” I see as an effort to be sensitive to those different, with different experiences than oneself, an effort I see as reflecting good manners and even my Christian heritage.

Some, however, use the term to ridicule the idea that the words one uses can affect real change in behavior. That is a good point, but don’t stop there, work to affect real change in uncharitable behavior.

“Politically correct” is also used to condemn what some see as the left’s domination of higher education and the media. Confront this fear with a reassertion of professional standards in academia and journalism.

“Woke,” to me, also

Guest Column

Bleeding Blue

By SHERIFF GABE FABRIZIO

I wanted to take a moment and share with you, my bosses, the work we have been doing to improve public safety in Coos County.

Over the past six months we have experienced a lot of successes, and some difficulties as we move forward under my term as Sheriff. First, I want to express the pride I have for my staff, they have been working hard to implement the vision we have for the Office, and we have been having some fun in doing it. As I always like to end things on a good note, I am going to share with you some of the challenges we have been experiencing and then share with you some of the successes.

The past six months have not been without their challenges. As many of you know, Measure 114 may dictate a large amount of unfunded mandates to the office when it comes to the permitting of firearms.

While this measure is being challenged in both the federal and state courts, it would be imprudent of the Office to not consider how we would conduct this permitting and, more importantly financially support it. We are looking at software options which would allow you, the public, to schedule times to do the permitting, and assist with payment options and so forth which could be done on line.

We have not yet implemented this as we are waiting to see what is going to happen in both state and federal courts with this measure.

Recently, the medical provider for our jail has informed us they intend to terminate their relationship with not only our county, but several other throughout the state of Oregon. This created difficulties for Coos County Sheriff’s Office to provide required medical services

within the jail for all inmates.

The county has been paying a little over one million dollars per year for this service. This is not without a silver lining as we have likely found a replacement company to take over this vital service to the jail with little to no added cost.

We have been working diligently to get our jail back open to 98 beds. The Coos County Jail is currently funded to support 98 beds; however, the difficulty lies in hiring and retaining qualified personnel. We have hired several people into the Office, however, with the attrition rate, it often seems we are just breaking even. Since January 1, 2023, we have had several people leave the office either to retirement, or more prevalently to higher paying jobs. While we strive to offer a fair pay rate and benefits, our Deputies are payed ten percent below the average within the state of Oregon and our Sergeants are about eighteen percent below the average. The deputies we have are the folks who are invested in our community, they want to be here, they are proud of our office and our community and we are lucky to have them. However, when it comes to hiring it is a challenge to compete with other agencies, even within our own county.

Coos County recently completed a budget process which revealed a 2.68 million dollar shortfall between the cost of doing business and the funds which are available.

To put this in perspective, property taxes for the county bring in about 6.5 million dollars; the Jail alone costs about 7 million to operate per year. The Criminal Division which houses our patrol deputies, contracts, detectives and records operates around 4 million dollars and the Administrative Division which houses

Dispatch, Civil and Animal Control operates at about 2.5 million dollars. The cost of doing business is high. Much of these funds are tied up in insurance, personnel and equipment costs. Remaining costs are gained through grants and contract programs, for which we are very thankful.

Our state legislature often gives us mandates with no way of funding them.

For example, the office is now required to become accredited by July of 2026, which will cost the county about $6000 per year just for the accreditation. This does not calculate in the personnel and equipment costs associated with getting the office to the point where we meet the requirements. I certainly have no issue with ensuring we meet a standard, but am worried about the time and resources needed to annotate what we are already accomplishing or working towards.

The Criminal Division is also short staffed. Currently we are running two Deputies per shift who are responsible for handling calls throughout the county. I am sure you can see and understand the difficulties there. Ideally, we would want to afford time for our deputies to spend more time on calls, investigating them and bringing offenders to justice. However, I share their frustration in the sense that it seems we spend a lot of time just taking the calls which are consistently stacking up behind us. I want to provide a better service to this county and we can only do that by continuing to hire and get people in patrol cars.

From my perspective, the biggest internal challenge we have is in hiring and retaining personnel due to our wage scale. But, as you can see, this is a complicated problem that we are working Please see SAFETY Page A12

Letters to the Editor (Continued) seems to be a good thing: the ability to see what we may have not seen before in history. For example, red-lining in the real estate business that kept minorities from building equity and generational wealth.

Under-funded schools in minority neighborhoods that hampered educational and professional achievements.

Labor unions which prevented minority workers from joining and enjoying higher wages and other benefits.

“Woke,” however, is being reinvented to denote something negative. Critics of “woke” feel themselves as victims, being cancelled, banished, blacklisted, and hated. Much to the contrary, see the intent of “woke” to loosen long-entrenched thoughts and practices of discrimination that limited our ability to employ the talents of all of us to make the United States and the world flourish.

Don’t let politicians take a simplistic, us v. them approach. Assure we all are allowed the resources and opportunities to develop the knowledge and needed skills to address the challenges of our world.

Jeannie Culp Bandon A different view I would like to comment on The World’s May 23rd article authored by David Rupkalvis, ‘Mayor refuses to put Noordhoff on water board committee’. The article printed on the same day that City Council approved my reinstatement to the Water Board budget committee.

The World has not printed an update.

Why did the city decide to reinstate me? My theory is that the city changed course after the city attorney received a ‘Demand’ letter from an attorney with the Portland law firm Kell, Alterman & Runstein. The

May 18 letter gave a May 26 deadline to reinstate me to the budget committee on which I had served in 2021.

I won a Circuit Court lawsuit because council voted to remove me from committee assignments during ‘Other Business’ without adding the matter to the agenda, when I was not at the meeting.

My attorney’s letter said that if I was not reinstated

by May 26, a lawsuit for Contempt of Court would be filed without further notice. The City attorney had claimed that the Water Board budget committee was not a city committee, so the 2021 Court Judgment did not apply. My attorney said that argument had no legal merit. His letter included the possible sanctions that the Court could impose for conviction on Contempt of Court, as follows: (a) Payment of a sum of money sufficient to compensate a party for loss, injury or costs suffered by the party as a result of a contempt of court. (b) Confinement for as long as the contempt continues, or six months, whichever is the shorter period. (c) An amount not to exceed $500 or one percent of the defendant’s annual gross income, whichever is greater, for each day the contempt of court continues.

The sanction imposed under this paragraph may be imposed as a fine or to compensate a party for the effects of continued contempt. (d) An order designed to insure compliance with a prior order of the court, including probation. (e) Payment of all or part of any attorney fees incurred by a party as the result of a contempt of court, and (f) A sanction other than the sanctions specified in paragraph (a) to (e) of this subsection if the court determines that the sanction would be an effective remedy for the contempt.

If the city had obeyed the

Court Order, I would have been reinstated in 2022.

However, former Councilor Timm Slater was appointed instead. During a work session review of the next day’s meeting agenda, Mayor Engelke said nothing would be discussed under ‘Other Business’. The following day, she proposed and council confirmed Councilor Slater’s appointment during ‘Other Business’!

Who knew that the plaintiff is responsible for enforcing a Court Order against the defendant?! The city ignored the Court order twice; legal intervention was necessary.

Finally, The World’s article states that the City Finance Director had been appointed to the budget committee.

Not so! On April 17th, during Council’s review of the April 18 agenda, I asked what an unspecified “appointment to a board, commission or committee” was doing on the Consent Calendar. Mayor Engelke said that she was going to appoint the Finance Director to the Water board budget committee. The item was scratched before the Council voted to approve the Consent Calendar.

PUBLIC NOTICE Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Scoping National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)— Endangered Species Act (ESA) Integration in Oregon The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the implementation of the draft plan for National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)—Endangered Species Act (ESA) Integration in Oregon.

These changes may have significant impacts on Oregon communities, individuals, and businesses that intend on developing in the floodplain.

FEMA is preparing this EIS in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969.

FEMA initially published a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS on March 6, 2023, which opened

a 60-day public scoping process. On May 25, 2023, the public comment period was re-opened for an additional 32 days for comment opportunity and to schedule additional outreach events.

FEMA is hosting inperson and virtual public scoping meetings to solicit comments on potential issues, concerns, and reasonable alternatives that FEMA should consider in its EIS. FEMA will use these comments to define the scope of the NEPA analysis and inform its decisionmaking.

Please provide oral or written comments at the in-person or virtual public scoping meetings or in writing via www.regulations. gov (FEMA-2023-0007).

Comments must be received by June 26, 2023, to be considered.

The project EIS website with the 2021 draft plan and associated documents is at https://www.fema. gov/about/organization/ region-10/oregon/nfip-esaintegration. This website includes information on all the in-person and virtual meetings.

FEMA will host an inperson public scoping meeting on Wednesday, June 14, 2023, at Coos Bay Public Library, Myrtlewood Room, 515 Anderson Avenue, Coos Bay, OR 97420 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

The meeting room is accessible to people with disabilities. If you need to request an accommodation (e.g., sign language interpreters, Braille, CART/ captioning), please make your request by June 9, 2023, to FEMA-R10ESAcomments@fema.dhs. gov. Last minute requests will be accepted but may not be possible to fill.

Future opportunities to comment on the NEPA environmental review process will be announced on the project website towards the end of 2023.

For further information, please contact: Ms. Science Kilner, Regional Environmental Officer, FEMA Region 10, FEMAR10-ESAcomments@fema. dhs.gov, 425-487-4713, or visit the EIS project website.

State funding is projected on the state Ways and Means committee expectation of 745M for the next biennium until a decision is made by legislators by the end of the fiscal year.

stands the value of alternative education more than most is Kimberly Brick, the chair of the Coos Bay School Board.

“I’m not anybody special,” Brick told the graduates. “I’m not particularly smart. I failed math all four years of high school. The only reason I made it to class most days was because it was better than being home. I failed a lot.

“There were so many challenges I needed to learn from. There were times I didn’t think I would graduate. One reason I did was because I continued to show up.”

Brick told the students she tried out for cheerleading every year since seventh grade and finally made the team as a senior. Then she found out she was pregnant.

As a pregnant teen, Brick was given the opportunity to go to the

through. We are bleeding our blue out to other agencies in the county and the state and it is something we are going to need to figure out to keep these qualified people here in Coos County. Thankfully, the commissioners are huge advocates of public safety, and are we are working together towards solutions.

One of the biggest external challenges we have remains to be the ready access to illicit drugs, and the lack of prosecutorial capability due to Measure 110.

We have formed and are forming increased ways and means to fight against the incursion of drugs which are severely harming our county.

alternative-education school, and it changed her life.

She graduated from high school and became the first person in her family to graduate from college. All because she showed up and never quit, much like the students from Destinations and Resource Link.

“As alt-ed students, we sometimes have lives that don’t fit into the traditional model,” Brick said. “It doesn’t mean we’re less than those students in other schools. It means we’re bad asses who need to make our own way.:” Leslie Traylor, who leads the Resource Link Charter School, told the students they were able to redefine what education means for themselves.

“Redefining education is the hallmark of alternative education,” Traylor said. “You are the embodiment of what that means, a pathway for students that works for them. Show the world who you are.”

Destinations Principal Kayla Crook had a similar message for the graduates.

“Today, we gather to honor a group of students who have overcome many obstacles and worked hard to succeed,” Crook said.

“Graduates, congratulations, you made it. Once you walk across that stage tonight, you start a new class – adulting 101. I have confidence you possess the skills, knowledge and resiliency to ace this class. Remember, you got this.”

Dr. Charis McGaughy, superintendent of Coos

Bay School District, said watching the seniors graduate was a moment of extreme pride.

“I am proud this district offers multiple pathways for students to chart their own success,” McGaughy said.

“This is truly a group accomplishment. Kudos to everyone here who has provided care and support for this group of students.”

After hearing the speeches, the students finally got what they came for, diplomas signifying a major accomplishment in life.

priority that we simply cannot let lay idle.

I don’t want to leave you with simply negative concepts, so lets talk about some of our successes. We have worked with our local agency partners and have opened the jail up for booking. While this is not a perfect solution as we would really like to house people who commit crimes, it is a step forward. Our peace officers now have a way to remove people who commit crimes from the situation they are in and bring a consequence.

We have had some success in hiring.

Currently we have three patrol deputies attending the state Law Enforcement Academy in Salem. By all accounts they are doing well and we look forward to getting them back in September. We have

another Deputy who will be leaving for the academy this coming July with a return date in November. We have several corrections deputies who have been hired and we have some in the hiring process for whom we have high hopes. I will take a moment and promote our office in saying that we are hiring, if you are interested in a career in Law Enforcement, please apply!

The Office recently completed a complete audit of our evidence room which revealed some issues, but the great news is that this process provides a path forward and makes us more efficient in our processing of evidence.

Our county commission has been very supportive of the office and we made it through our budget process

who take care of you.

One of my priorities has been to bring a different level of transparency to you.

To let my bosses, the public, know what I am doing. To that end, we have assigned the duties of Public Information Officer to Sergeants Adam Slater and Chris Gill. These men have done a phenomenal job of pushing information out to the public to let them know what is going on and more importantly what we are doing about it. This is a program which we are going to continue to develop as time goes on. I want to provide you with timely, relevant and informative content which you can use to understand what my office is doing for you. I view our efforts in this arena as a large success and am glad to be able to bring this information

efficiently.

One of the items I am excited about is our wellness program. Captain Sanborn has applied for a federal grant which will financially supplement this program which focuses on the physical, mental and spiritual well being of our staff, their family members and retirees for two years post retirement. The rigors of law enforcement are demanding and my staff frequently have to experience and see things on a regular basis which are traumatic.

We are developing and refining our peer support program and have partnered with a company which will provide culturally competent clinicians to counsel staff on a telehealth platform. I am excited for this as it takes care of the people

to you for your perusal.

In closing, I am very proud to be your Sheriff. I am, as I hope you are, proud of this office and what it means and stands for within our community.

There is something special about being Sheriff in that it is the only law enforcement position written into the state constitution.

We are working hard to continue to build and bring you the law enforcement services you deserve and need.

If ever you wish to contact me, please stop by the office, or say hi to me when I am out and about. My email address is gfabrizio@ co.coos.or.us. The coffee is always on in my office, though I cannot vouch for it’s quality! It is an honor to serve you.
