Homeless woman, dog killed in accident

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

A homeless woman and a dog were killed when a pickup truck left the road at the intersection of 4th Street and Anderson Avenue and hit the woman who was holding the dog.

According to the Coos Bay Police Department and other witnesses, a black pickup truck lost control at the intersection of 4th and

Anderson just after 1 p.m.

Wednesday, moved into a vacant field across from U.S. Bank and continued until it struck the Ticor Title building.

The woman, identified as Jennifer Centers-Buel, 54, was sitting next to the Ticor Title building and was hit by the truck as it plowed into the building.

When police arrived within minutes, they found CentersBuel deceased at the scene.

The second woman was not injured.

The driver of the pickup, who has not been named, was transported from the scene

by Bay Cities Ambulance with serious injuries.

The Coos Bay Police Department requested that the Coos County Crash Team respond to the scene to assist. The team includes members from law enforcement agencies

throughout the county as well as the district attorney’s office.

The uninjured woman owned the dog and was very upset after losing her pet and her friend. Representatives from the Nancy Devereux Center responded to the location to care for the woman.

The Coos Bay police and the crash team continue to investigate the accident.

The police said they were aided on the scene by Oregon State Police, Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Coos County District Attorney’s Office, North Bend Police Department, Coos Health & Wellness, Public Safety Chaplains, The Devereux Center, Coquille Indian Tribal Police, Coos Bay Fire Department, Bay Cities Ambulance and Mast Brothers Towing.

North Bend, airport district reach police agreement

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

The North Bend police department will once again be offering police service to the Southwestern Oregon Regional Airport.

Just weeks after Rodger Craddock became CEO of

the Coos County Airport District, Craddock met with the North Bend City Council to recommend the council approve a new intergovernmental agreement with the airport district.

Craddock said he had met with North Bend

City Administrator David Milliron and negotiated an agreement that would have the airport district pay North Bend $15,000 a year for guaranteeing police response to the airport within 15 minutes.

Craddock said the airport functions under requirements

from the TSA, which regulate what airports can and cannot do.

“One of their regulations

is to have law enforcement officers available within 15 Please see AIRPORT Page A3

Council votes to

Dispute boils over

in North Bend start investigation council meeting into Noordhoff

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

The North Bend City Council voted 6-1 to initiate a third-party investigation into the actions of Councilor Susanna Noordhoff during a special meeting Monday.

The vote came after Noordhoff made multiple complaints when the council met last week, including accusing City Administrator David Milliron of hacking into her email account and reading her emails.

During the special meeting, called by Mayor Jessica Engelke at the request of the city attorney, the council was given three options - do nothing, ask for a third-party investigation or ask for a different kind of investigation.

After the item was introduced by attorney Lori Cooper, Council President Larry Garboden made a motion to open the investigation.

Garboden’s motion read, “I move to initiate a third-party investigation under Council Rule 2.04.190, and

By DAVID RUPKALVIS direct the Mayor and the City For The World Attorney to coordinate and oversee the investigation into An ongoing allegations of misconduct by dispute between Councilor Noordhoff related to North Bend City potential Council Rule violations, Councilor Susanna City Charter violations (including Noordhoff and City the Oath of Office) and staff Administrator David allegations of a hostile work Milliron and Mayor environment based upon Jessica Engelke harassment, disparagement, moved to the forefront and accusations of violations again last week when of the law.”

Noordhoff raised concerns Councilor Pat Goll about the way the city seconded the motion. reports its minutes.

When Engelke asked if Two days after the there was any discussion, meeting, the city sent out a Noordhoff answered, notice of a special meeting “Oh yes.” on August 14, where the city Before any attorney is asking the council to discussion could be open an investigation into one held, Cooper told councilor, who was not named.

During a work session and again Please see at the regular meeting, Noordhoff COUNCIL said her council comments were not fully Page A2 reflected in the minutes and she asked the council to put more of an emphasis on the

written minutes.

“I think your public pretty much goes by the written minutes, they don’t go wading through the video trying to find the spot where someone spoke or trying to find the action on the video,” Noordhoff said. “They go to the written minutes.

And you’re kidding yourself if you think otherwise because it’s so much easier to find something in the written minutes than we do in the video.”

According to state law, governing bodies must have either written minutes or recordings of their meetings. In North Bend, the council has

Noordhoff continued her complaint saying city committees should make reports to the council every time they meet.

“When we have a council committee, such as the property committee, I would really appreciate it if we had a council report,” Noordhoff said. “Our city administrator referenced during the discussion of the tiny houses that the area that is the current visitors center, it had been discussed that it could be surplused and it could be turned into a housing Please see DISPUTE Page A3

the council it would be better not to discuss the issue.

“I advise you not to get into the substance about the allegations. This is really a procedural vote,” Cooper said.

But Noordhoff defended herself before the vote.

“I value everybody on this council and all of our staff. It’s been a bit of a rocky road, starting when I was initially voted on the council,” Noordhoff said.

She said one of the first votes the council took after she took her seat was to adopt a transportation plan she opposed. She said in that meeting, Engelke called for a motion and

“I value all of you, I think we’ve accomplished a lot,” Noordhoff said. “But I think this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. When I got kicked off committees and we went to court, Mayor Engelke violated the court order. She appointed Councilor Slater. She thumbed her nose at the court.”

Noordhoff then voiced more concerns about Milliron.

As far as Mr. Milliron, when the new councilors came on board, he came over and told me where I had to sit,” she said.

“He’s been evidently reading my emails because he commented that I had posted on it that day. He has not

answered to that.”

Noordhoff said she regretted walking out of the council meeting before it ended, but she felt she was in the right.

“When I walked out of here the other night, I felt insulted by the mayor,” Noordhoff said.

“She interrupted me repeatedly and I had a point I was trying to make.”

Noordhoff also brought up letters to the editor she has sent to The World, saying that started long before she was elected to the council.

“Do I apologize for that. No I don’t.

Am I supposed to be interrupted, no I’m not,” she said. “When I put something on the agenda, Mayor Engelke immediately gives the floor to the city administrator, and I don’t appreciate that. I apologize for walking out. My sister was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer a week and a half ago. Please factor that in that I was under a lot of duress. I apologize to the mayor.

I felt insulted because she said what I said was a rant.”

Noordhoff ended her comments by asking the council to vote against the investigation.

“None of you are personal friends. We’re all here to further the business of the city, and I would ask that you do not move this investigation forward.

That’s my ask,” she said.

But after the discussion, the council voted 6-1 to start an investigation with only Noordhoff voting no.

minutes when a TSA agent calls for service,” Craddock said.

He added that calls from a TSA agent to North Bend police are rare, and usually occur for things like a gun being found in a bag or an out-of-control person at the airport.

North Bend has had a long history of providing law enforcement services to the airport. Years ago, North Bend police actually scanned customers getting on airplanes.

That changed after 9-11, when the TSA began hiring their own agents at every public airport in the nation.

North Bend continued to offer police services to the district before ending the agreement last year when the airport district and the city failed to reach an agreement the sides thought was fair.

area. Obviously that was discussed somewhere in that property committee meeting, but it was not presented to council.

It is a requirement that committee reports be presented to council. I don’t want to hear that you can go look at the video. No you can’t.

Any further property committee or any other council committees, I want to hear a committee report. That needs to be brought to council.”

As she continued speaking, Noordhoff grew more animated.

“I expect when we have committees that

“Currently, the airport district is contracting out armed security response for those limited calls for service to a private security firm,” Craddock said.

“Neither the TSA or the airport district believes that is in the best interest long term and we would like to secure the services of professional law enforcement to respond.”

Craddock said the agreement is only related to calls from TSA agents requesting services. Other calls from airport property are responded to as a normal part of providing police services throughout North Bend. He said of the TSA changes its rules in the future and requires more police services, the agreement could be renegotiated.

Milliron said he felt the agreement was fair even though it did not limit the number of calls police were required to respond to.

“We believe over a five-year graded period, you’re covering the availability of services over five years. The reality is if a 9-1-1 call comes in, we’re going to respond and

ask questions later,” Milliron said. “If it got to the point it was unbearable, there’s a 30-day opt-out clause.

We believe it’s a very fair agreement” Mayor Jessica

Engelke applauded the IGA, saying it was nice to have a closer relationship with the airport district.

“I’m over the moon you’re in your new position,” Engelke

told Craddock. “I think it’s so nice to see a representative of the airport district here to meet with North Bend.”

The council voted 7-0 to authorize Milliron to sign the agreement.

we hear back what happened,” Noordhoff said. “Some people might think this is over the top and funny. I don’t think so. I want to know what the discussion is behind the scenes. It is very evident that somebody had been discussing making the park property surplus and turning it into housing.

I don’t want to hear about it the day before the meeting, and it’s not funny, Mayor Engelke.”

After listening quietly, Engelke then spoke up.

“Are you done?” she asked Noordhoff.

“Hey I have five minutes don’t I,” Noordhoff responded.

“No I’m not.”

“OK, go ahead. We have two minutes left, one minute,” Engelke replied. :”If we miss it, it will be in the paper I’m sure. You can write to the editor, too.

Noordhoff defended her right to send letters to the editor and reach out to local media. She referenced an email she sent to a local TV station that led to a story.

“Mr. Milliron reviewed my emails,” Noordhoff said. “I guess that’s part of his job description. OK I’m done.”

Milliron immediately spoke up.

“I’ve been accused of committing a crime.

I think I’ve just been accused of going into and reading councilor

emails,” Milliron said.

“I find the fact that I sit here and I get disparaged, not only at the council meeting, not only is it a hostile work environment, not only is it letters to the editor, which she does have a first amendment right to do, you as the council are my employer.

So there are council rules, and I advised her yesterday and this has gotten to the nth degree. You see how much work she puts on staff unnecessarily.

You see how she makes up rules to her benefit.

The rules are the rules, so I’m going to implore and urge the council to try to address this problem.”

During the middle

of Milliron’s response, Noordhoff gathered her belongings and walked out of the meeting.

“I’m glad we have it on video,” Engelke said. “I look forward to hearing from the city attorney on that. We were accused of several things in that little rant.

I’m very proud of how this body works, except for one, and we work very good together and are very transparent.

Our meetings are recorded, our minutes are accurate. We have our attorney on line and he guides us on things. So it’s really disappointing to be accused of things.”

Engelke said there are many good things happening in North

Bend, saying she heard that repeatedly in a recent meeting with Sen. Ron Wyden and Rep. Val Hoyle.

“When we have these awful displays here it’s very disappointing because there’s so many good things going on,” the mayor said.

Councilor Jenny Jones asked Engelke what the council could and should do following the discussion. At that point, City Attorney Mark Wolfe told Engelke he would call her and discuss options the council could take.

After that call, Engelke and Wolfe presented that agenda item regarding opening an investigation.

Obituaries (Continued on page A5) John “Jack” E. Hoffman November 17, 1939 – August 8, 2023

John “Jack” Hoffman, 83, of North Bend, passed away on August 8, 2023, in Coos Bay, Oregon. He was born on November 17, 1939 in North Bend, the son of Jacob and Laurella Hoffman and attended Marshfield High School where he was a member of the 1956 state championship football team before graduating in 1957. Jack also attended Pacific University in Forest Grove where he met and married his wife, Lucille Horner, before graduating in 1962.

He taught for a year in Port Orford before teaching Health and Physical Education for the next 33 years at North Bend Junior High School. He also coached football, wrestling and volleyball. Jack enjoyed teaching and coaching and loved connecting with former students after his retirement in 1995.

While still in high school, Jack began volunteering as a Camp Counselor at Camp Easter Seals on Tenmile Lake in Lakeside, Oregon.

He was the Director of Camp Easter Seals from 1964 until 1970 and some of his fondest memories were of the summers spent at camp.

Jack was a founding member of the Hauser Rural Fire Department in 1975, serving as Captain as well as on the board of directors for over 35 years. He was instrumental in building the current Hauser fire hall, the procurement of newer, modern fire trucks and in writing the grants for the

Hauser Dunes Rescue Vans.

Jack was an avid hunter and fisherman throughout his life. In 1996 he began volunteering with the Gardner-Reedsport-Winchester Bay Salmon Trout Enhancement Program (S.T.E.P.) serving on the board of directors for many years.

As much as Jack loved teaching, coaching and volunteering for causes close to his heart, his greatest joy was his wife Lucille and spending time with his family. He was lucky enough to have all of his grandchildren grow up in North Bend, and he was their biggest supporter at school and sporting events.

After his retirement, Jack and Lucille spent some time traveling around the United States and to Chile.

They went on several cruises including trips up the Columbia River, the Mississippi, Nova Scotia, the Panama Canal and his favorite place, Alaska.

Jack is survived by his wife of 62 years, Lucille; his sister, Lois Bernhardt of Hillsboro; his daughters, Karen Stulz and her husband, Jaye of Coos Bay, Cindy Wixey and her husband, Marc of Salem and Bobbi Wilson and her husband,, Steve of Coos Bay; his grandchildren, Nicole Yokbay-Weiss and her husband Martin, Mason Stulz and his wife, Nicole, Kayla YokbayKanaeholo and her husband, Kyle, Jake Wilson and his partner, Shannon Aune, Lynn Clow and her husband, Levi, Katie Wilson and her husband,

Beau Woodward, and Cahlia Wixey; and his nine great grandchildren (with another on the way), Zoie, Karliee, Zoey, MacKenzie, Kamryn, Colton, John, Khloe, and Izabella; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Jack was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Jim Hoffman; and brother-in-law, Jim Bernhardt.

Jack touched many lives as a teacher, coach, camp director, fireman, volunteer, and lifelong member of the North Bend/Coos Bay community. He loved telling stories and sharing the history of the area. He

will be missed.

A memorial service will be planned and announced at a later date.

Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www.coosbayareafunerals.com. The family suggests donations in Jack’s memory be made to GardinerReedsport-Winchester Bay STEP (www.umpquastephatchery.org), Coos History Museum (www.cooshistory. org) or North Bend Community Scholarship Fund (www.nbcsf.org).

Arrangements are under the care of North Bend Chapel, 541-756-0440.

Obituaries (Continued on page A7) Andrea Jean Rosenberg January 23, 1943 ~ May 29, 2023

Andrea Rosenberg passed away at home with family and friends present on May 29, 2023 after dealing with the effects of dementia for a number of years. Andrea was born in North Bend, Oregon on January 23, 1943, to Hilda and Dennis Signalness.

She had the good fortune to spend her entire early life on the family’s waterfront property on Coos Bay, where she loved to walk the beach during low tides searching for points and ancient tools.

Andrea was attending Oregon State University when she met Doug Rosenberg. It was in a geology class where seats next to one of the 3 girls in the class were a premium. Doug’s previous class was a 15-minute walk away so he could never get to class in time to score a seat next to her. But since he was a fireman/EMT he got a special parking place next to the Geology building. By driving he was usually waiting to see where Andrea was going to sit, and he was close behind! They were married on August 20, 1966.

Daughter Erin arrived in 1969 and daughter Jill in 1972. The girls were Andrea’s main occupation but when more help was needed at the family lumberyard she always found time to help. Prior to moving to Tillamook, she was Assistant Credit Manager at Consumer Power in Corvallis.

Besides her girls and family, her interests were many, and greatly

varied. She strived for perfection in everything she did. The piano was a major interest at which she excelled. Other favorite activities were travel, sewing, needlecraft, hiking, boating, home building, and decorating. She loved to travel and explore new areas. That led to many years of hiking and climbing in the canyons of SE Utah with friends and family. Immediately after Utah hiking she was anxious to get started on the annual trip to Washington’s San Juan Islands, where they camped for many years, eventually built a home, which Andrea both designed and decorated. Not one to stand and watch, she got into the construction, laying ceramic tile, painting, and helping with wiring and plumbing.

Another of her special loves was traveling north on her boats, OPUS I and OPUS II, on which she was most often at the helm. With a wide variety of family and friends, she and Doug made many trips north into British Columbia and Alaska, leaving in their wake a trail of Tillamook Cheese!

She would often joke that if anything was needed, they could just trade cheese for it. Along with the fun, Andrea was a serious boat captain.

The logbooks list several instances where she maneuvered out of tight spots on her own. One of Doug’s favorite photos is of her on OPUS I alone, maneuvering through fields of icebergs. Another was in swift

current and wind when Doug didn’t get the dock lines on in time, and off downstream went Andrea, alone on OPUS II. She patiently drifted until there was room to make a circle when she brought the boat back up into the current and wind, and held it by the dock while the lines were finally secured. There were many other instances when she was a good sport in helping on various “questionable” projects, such as steering a heavy truck as it was pulled from a military base. Snow covered the ground, there was no windshield, no running engine, and no power steering. But there were a lot of guys to whistle and wave! Unperturbed, she just smiled and waved back. And while she didn’t really love flying, she could keep the plane on course and watch for traffic on their many trips to the San Juans.

Andrea is survived by Doug, her husband of 56 years; daughters, Erin and Jill; granddaughters, Gracyn, Sela, and Reese; sister, Penny Signalness; and nieces, Sorrel Hansen and Marlyss Bird.

A quiet celebration of Andrea’s life, attended by family and friends, was held the day before her passing, including the smooth guitar and voice of Lauren Sheehan. No further gatherings are planned. Any remembrances can be sent to the Alzheimer’s Association of Oregon and SW Washington.

Fall teams jump into action this week The fall sports season for high schools in Oregon starts this week with various volleyball matches and football jamborees.

Marshfield and North Bend both open the volleyball season Thursday in North Bend, where they will face Hidden Valley.

The following day, most of the South Coast schools are in a jamboree at Marshfield, including Coquille, Myrtle Point, Powers, Reedsport, Bandon, Brookings-Harbor, Gold Beach and Siuslaw.

Coquille and Bandon also travel to Siuslaw on Saturday, where they will play each other and the Vikings.

In Football, Marshfield and North Bend both will be in a jamboree at Junction City on Friday. Coquille and Brookings-Harbor both are at Sutherlin for a jamboree Friday. Reedsport is in a jamboree the same night at Monroe and Bandon participates in a jamboree at Rogue River on Saturday.

John Gunther, For The World

Meet the Pirates is Wednesday Marshfield’s annual Meet the Pirates night is Wednesday, Aug. 25, starting at 5 p.m.

All fall teams will be introduced and most will participate in scrimmages.

Fans will get their first look at the new turf in Pete Susick Stadium during Meet the Pirates Night on Wednesday. This is the third time the stadium has gotten a new turf field, with the new one installed by work crews with FieldTurf International in less than two weeks so it would be ready for the start of fall sports practice. The school district sets aside money each year for eventual field replacement, with the first two fields lasting more than a decade each before they were worn down enough that they needed replacing.

The junior varsity and JV2 volleyball teams will scrimmage in Pirate Palace at 5 p.m., followed by a varsity/JV scrimmage at 5:20.

Meanwhile, the boys soccer team will scrimmage

at 5 p.m. on the field at Pete Susick Stadium, followed by the girls at 5:15.

The cross country team will run around the track at 5:30 and the cheer team will perform at 5:40.

The band will perform the national anthem at 6 p.m. and the football team will scrimmage until 6:30, with all teams, including the cheer and dance teams and band, introduced starting at 6:45.

The Marshfield Booster Club, assisted by the Coach House restaurant, will provide a meal for the athletes, as well as for any fans who want to purchase a meal at Buck’s Place in the stadium.

Community mourns fallen firefighter

By DAVID RUPKALVIS For The World

Two weeks after a young firefighter died while on duty near Powers, the fire community continues to mourn the loss of Benjamin Charles Sapper.

Sapper died at age 21 while on his first deployment as a firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service. The young mane from Colorado came to Curry County to help battle the Flat Fire, which erupted in Curry County on July 15 and has since burned close to 34,000 acres.

As of Monday, the fire was 56% contained.

More than 500 firefighters have been involved in the fire fight.

According to the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Sapper was one of three firefighters from U.S. Forrest Service, Rouge River – Siskiyou National Forrest Group in a vehicle near Powers on August 4 when the vehicle crashed.

The crash occurred one mile south of Powers on the National Forrest 3300 Road.

The three Firefighters involved were on-duty moving fire equipment but not currently assigned to an active fire detail.

As a result of the

crash, Sapper (21) passed away at the scene. The news spread quickly to local fire departments and law enforcement, who put together an escort of several emergency vehicles to escort Sapper to Amling-Schroeder in Coquille. Volunteers from multiple local fire departments stood guard over Sapper day and night until he was transported home to Colorado.

The Coos County Sheriff’s Office is the lead agency investigating the crash, assisted by the Oregon State Police, U. S. Forest Service, and the Powers

Police Department.

According to Sgt. Adam Slater, the investigation is ongoing.

The vehicle’s driver is cooperating with the investigation; however, their name will not be released until the analysis of the crash and review are complete.

When the investigation is completed, it will be referred to the Coos County District Attorney’s Office for review.

State Rep. Court Boice, who lives in Gold Beach and represents Coos and Curry counties, said he was devastated to learn of Sapper’s death.

“My heart goes

out to the family and colleagues of Benjamin Charles Sapper whose life was taken too soon.

His heart for service is continually echoed, and for that – we are grateful.” Boice said.

“I stand with our Gold Beach and Powers ranger districts who are mourning this tragic loss and thank them for their tremendous efforts in battling the devastating Flat Fire. We all must do our part to prevent additional fires throughout our state.”

On August 9, Sapper’s family escorted his body back to Colorado.

While moving through Gold Beach, the family

went through a cordon of honor, made up of federal, state and local fire apparatus and emergency service vehicles.

“While he had only been here for a short amount of time, Benjamin embraced this community. This show of support will have great meaning for his family,” said Acting Forest Supervisor Jake Winn.

“Words cannot express our appreciation of the outpouring of community support we’ve received in honor of our brother and local hero,” added RRSNF Fire Staff Officer Dan Quinones.

Letters to the Editor My summary in North Bend Town Hall Camping Conversations: As always, this is just my opinion and, as always, I learned something new! Here’s my summary of takeaways: * We wouldn’t be having the difficult discussions and decisions around camping if we didn’t live in a nation that puts individual rights above government control (however imperfectly executed...).

Authoritarian systems imprison “unfits” that include homeless and mentally ill along with our friends, family and colleagues who speak out against the government just for speaking out. Yikes! * The court cases defining this new requirement for cities specifically tell us that no camping ordinance means camping is *allowed* -- anywhere, any time, under any conditions on public property which includes parks, sidewalks, right-ofways, and meridians. So, waiting to get sued by *not* having an ordinance seemed like a bad idea to everyone on council. * Homelessness is not an invitation to commit crimes, but we need the public to continue to report issues they see. * Our police, despite being only 2-person teams on any shift, are making strides getting people to follow the rules, and in many cases enabling them with information they need to get out of a difficult situation * Our community said no to parks and residential areas, so we had to put our burden on the commercial areas. We choose close to police and city hall. We hope that having limited hours which forces people to move around will be an inconvenience. So far, so good, although we don’t know what the future will bring, so council is committed to revisiting as we need. * The city can change aspects of the ordinance so that events can still happen in and around Harbor Street. The event permitting process will be ample time for businesses to ensure that camping in that area will either be moved or start much later to accommodate the event. (Nice! Hey, Power Sports, have a food trucks event, please!) * New to me! North Bend has some live cameras where anyone can look at what’s happening, including around Harbor’s

camping area: https://www. northbendoregon.us/pview. aspx?id=2006&catid=71 Jenny Jones North Bend Keep our pets safe I would like to alert folks like me who enjoy walking our dogs along the beautiful beaches and hiking trails this area offers of a possible hazard. A dear friend of mine had to take her dog to the vet twice within a few weeks because her poor dog had consumed discarded marijuana near the vicinity of Crissey Field on the California/Oregon border.

According to local vets, it’s rarely fatal but sure makes our pets miserable. With the influx of summer tourists in our area the problem is intensified.

Be especially vigilant around old fire pits and areas where it’s obvious people were congregating. So even though we enjoy seeing our furry friends run free and frolic with other dogs, it might be best to leash them up around these areas. Let’s keep our pets healthy and safe.

Rick McNamer Smith Valley Move on please Well here we go again with the library. The voters have spoken but they just won’t take no for an answer.

Unlike the ending of Dr. Seuss’ green eggs and ham, we do not like it anywhere, period! Brick and mortar is obsolete in a world where your phone holds all the knowledge of mankind. So it’s not about knowledge then what? Any answer to the “then what” will lead to either a nostalgia for times gone by or an agenda for “services” not library related.

None of which we want.

We don’t want a new library and we can’t afford a new library. Stop the nagging already and quit wasting time and money trying to find an angle to slip it past us. We said no now move on please.

Guest Column

Wildland firefighters need our support

By GREGORY MCNAMEE

Writers on the Range

At any given moment during this smoky summer of 2023, hundreds of wildfires were blazing in the United States — more than 850 as of late July, according to the nonprofit Fire, Weather & Avalanche Center. Most of those wildfires ignited in the forests of the American West.

Fires were also burning by the thousands in Canada, creating a pall of particulatedense smoke that blotted out views of the Chicago skyline and the Washington Mall.

Those fires are expected to burn well into fall.

This hellish aspect lends weight to historian Stephen Pyne’s conclusion that we live now in an age of fire called the “Pyrocene.”

Assembled to combat these blazes is a massive army of wildland firefighters.

Some are volunteers, some are prison work crews earning time credited against their sentences. Some are municipal firefighters dispatched to the woods.

Some 11,300 of them are federal firefighters, called “forestry technicians,” who work under the aegis of the Department of Agriculture and the Department of the Interior.

For all of them, it’s exhausting work. Wildland firefighters typically log 16-hour days for weeks at a time, burning 4,000 to 6,000 calories a day while carrying heavy backpacks.

It’s punishing labor and always dangerous. Barely a year has gone by in the last quarter-century that has not seen at least 15 wildland firefighter deaths, the victims not just of flames and smoke but also of heat exhaustion, vehicle accidents, air crashes, falling trees and heart attacks.

Often, they don’t die alone. In June 2013, 19 “Hotshots” burned to death in a horrific Arizona wildfire, the third-greatest loss of wildland firefighters in U.S. history.

Yet despite the hardships

and the history, a mandated pay raise in June 2021, spurred by President Joe Biden, brought the minimum wage for federal wildland firefighters up to a mere $15 an hour.

Firefighters of my acquaintance seldom cite money as a motivator for their work. They fight fires in the spirit of public service, while in some rural communities, as a young Apache firefighter told me, “It gives us something to do.”

But firefighters, like everyone else, must shoulder rents and mortgages and groceries, and a paycheck of less than $3,000 a month just doesn’t cut it.

Enter a temporary order from President Biden raising that base pay rate by 50 percent. Put in place in August 2022, and retroactive to the previous October as part of a hotly contested package of infrastructurefunding policies, the pay raise was funded only until September 30, 2023, after which pay for wildland firefighters drops back to 2020 levels.

Wildland firefighters lobbied for Biden’s pay raise to be made permanent but they made few inroads. That was until they finally found an ally in Arizona’s Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Now an independent, Sinema allied with Republican Sens. John Barrasso of Wyoming and Steve Daines of Montana, and Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana, to introduce the bipartisan Wildland Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act. It would fund permanent pay increases.

By late June of 2023, their bill had passed out of committee by a vote of 10 to 1, the only no vote coming from Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. When it reaches the Senate floor, it will be open to debate and a full vote.

There, however, the politicians are likely to

Gregory McNamee squabble, especially on the House side. Larger issues loom, too, such as the need to revise policy so that forests are better managed to improve the conditions that now foster massive wildfires. Those conditions are the product of a “wise use” regime that saw forests as profitable tree farms and not as living systems The Forest Service also had a decades-long policy of dousing all wildfires as early as possible.

While Washington deliberates, and while a more comprehensive bill compensating wildland firefighters struggles to gain traction, fires continue to burn in the outback. Without a pay raise, federal officials fear, some firefighters will walk away from a risky and insultingly low-paying job.

Wildland firefighters are needed right now, and we need to pay them what they deserve through the Wildland Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act. They will be needed even more in a future of climbing temperatures and widespread drought causing even more massive wildfires.

We can only hope that we will have the firefighters to confront them.

She was a homemaker and caretaker who loved gardening, tole painting, and arranging flowers. Grandchildren coveted both her knitted dishcloths and beef stroganoff recipe.

Juanita was proud of her work on election boards in both Powers and Coquille, where she was chairwoman.

APN: 17000/17002 Commonly known as: 97736 N Lake Ln., Lakeside, OR 97449 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary and no appointments of a successor trustee have been made, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated.

Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of

Oregon Revised Statutes.

There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $37,257.84 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $399,323.83 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-today, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: 1. The installments of principal and interest which became due on December 1, 2021, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that Affinia Default Services, LLC, the undersigned trustee will on November 16, 2023 at the hour of 10:00 AM (PST), as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, Inside the main lobby of the Coos County Courthouse, 250 N Baxter St, Coquille, OR 97423, County of Coos, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee.

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

Obituaries (Continued on page A12) Donna Lee Breitkreutz December 14, 1937 – July 25, 2023

Donna Lee Breitkreutz passed away on July 25, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones and family. Donna was born in 1937 in Lewiston, Idaho to Donald and Alice Stevenson Case.

Donna grew up as part of a large, loving extended family, playing in the orchard fields around Lewiston and camping, fishing, and hunting in northern Idaho. Donna remembered the approximately mile-long piggyback rides by her older sister Elsie to swim on the shores of the Clearwater and Snake rivers. She later recalled a wild, terrifying drive in her older brother Dale’s Chevy down the Lewiston Hill, and little did she know that the throttle was stuck!

She enjoyed a wonderful childhood and made lifelong friends. Donna also met her future husband, Bob Breitkreutz, in Lewiston when he was visiting from Texas.

After graduating from high school, Donna attended Texas Lutheran College in Sequin, majoring in journalism and English. After a fairly complicated courtship because of the distance between Idaho and Texas, Donna and Bob were married in 1957. Bob, along with Donna and others, started Faith Lutheran Church in Wichita Falls, Texas, which is still active today. Later, after leaving the ministry, Bob and Donna moved to

Myrtle Point where he accepted a teaching position.

During her working life, Donna worked at the Myrtle Point Herald, where she did various duties, but by far her favorite was writing “Under My Umbrella”. She also was a feature writer for the Mckay’s Market People Pleaser magazine. She was wellknown for her humorous take on daily life with four kids, a scientificallyminded husband, and an array of unusual pets, such as a screech owl and 11 foot pythons. Her family treasures these articles and enjoy reading, reminiscing, and laughing at the memories portrayed in them.

Donna, above all, brought laughter and joy to those around her.

Donna was also a Community Activities Director for the city of Myrtle Point. Along with others, she was instrumental in establishing the soccer program in Myrtle Point and elsewhere, which is still ongoing.

She facilitated drama, art, music, and a huge variety of classes through Southwestern Community College that greatly impacted the Myrtle Point community. A particular favorite of hers was organizing trips to the tide pools in collaboration with Bob. Donna was voted the 1987 Myrtle Point Citizen of the Year and the 1991 Woman of Achievement by

the Myrtle Point Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society. Donna was applauded for “not just doing her job, but always doing it 200 per cent.” At the time of her retirement in 2002, she was the school secretary at Bridge School.

Donna had a talent for bringing people together, often times to accomplish something but also just to have a fun time. She was kind and had a great sense of humor, and truly wanted the best for others. Her passions included writing, music, family, friends, and faith. Donna provided a loving home base for her entire family and her cherished friends.

Donna was a recent member of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church; prior to that, she was a member of St James Lutheran Church in Myrtle Point. She strengthened her faith daily through morning Bible study with Bob, along with a hot cup of coffee! They applied the verse from 1st Thessalonians 5:11 “encourage one another and build each other up” to each other in addition to others. They also extended unconditional love to those around them.

Donna is survived by her children, Dr. Patti Gates of Coos Bay, OR, Mark Breitkreutz of Coquille, OR, David Breitkreutz and his wife, Darlene of Ketchikan, AK and Alicen Houghton and her husband, Gary of Eugene, OR; her grandchildren, all of Oregon, include Layne Breitkreutz of Hillsboro, Becca Gates of Coos Bay, Tristan Gates and fiancé, Andrea Malone of Coos Bay, Logan Gates and his wife, Bridget of North Bend, McKenzie Houghton of Monmouth, Zachary and Brittney Breitkreutz of Coquille, Keira Breitkreutz of Monmouth, Joshua Houghton of Eugene; great grandchildren, Dresden Sanchez

Obituaries William Malcom Marino

Allen Ray Gillmore

February 5, 1945 – August 8, 2023

November 6, 1931 – August 14, 2023

On August 8, 2023, William Malcolm Marino, age 78, passed at home in Coquille with his family at his side. Bill was born February 5,1945 in Los Angeles to Mary Lisbeth Maxwell. Mary married Anthony Francis Marino in 1954 and they moved to San Diego where Bill’s brothers, Tom and Steve were born.

Bill discovered his love for nature while backpacking and hunting in the surrounding foothills.

Bill enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1963 and did one tour in Vietnam. One of his greatest experiences was returning to Vietnam decades later.

After being honorably discharged in 1969, Bill discovered his calling in leather craft. In 1971 Bill found his chosen home on the southwest coast of Oregon and moved to Bandon, where he started his first business “Age of Man”. In 1976 he apprenticed in shoe repair in Portland and met Kay Foreman, who was apprenticing in the same program.

They married and moved to Coquille in 1977, opening the Coquille Valley Shoe Repair and Saddle Shop, later renamed Marino’s Boots and Saddles. Bill worked on whatever cherished item folks brought in including motorcycle bags, Conestoga wagon covers, swimming pool covers, and dog chewed sandals. He dearly loved this work.

Bill’s children, Amy and Jesse spent many hours of their early years in the shop. At a young age they ran the shop when Bill responded to calls as a volunteer

Allen R. Gillmore died peacefully in his home on August 14, 2023.

Born November 6, 1931, Allen spent his early years on his father’s dairy farm outside of Westmoreland, California. As he grew older, he worked the family dairy and also took jobs on a number of farms in and around Imperial Valley. When he was a teenager, he drove semi-trucks loaded with produce into Los Angeles and used his earnings to build a cabin on a small lot on the outskirts of Westmoreland. He married his first wife, Syble, shortly before being drafted in 1952, and became a dad to her two children, Shirley and Roney. During the Korean War, he served in the U.S. Army and was posted in the Panama Canal from 1952 – 1954. When he came back from the war his son, Bruce was born, and two years later his daughter, Susan. He worked a variety of jobs in Imperial Valley and Mendocino County which led him eventually to construction and carpentry work. He was a skilled craftsman and worked on many projects, finally settling in the North Bend, Oregon area.

Allen developed a ranch property on Larson Inlet near North Bend where he ran cattle and had a large apple orchard. Later, he moved to Allegany. He lived on the East Fork of the Millicoma River for 29 years before moving into Coos Bay. Allen was an avid landscaper and had a green thumb. His craftsman-type homes were surrounded by well-cared-for shrubs

fireman. Bill served in the Fire Department for 35 years. Much of that time he was also an EMT. In 2002 he earned an associate degree in Fire Science. Bill got a lot of satisfaction from his work in the Department, which included teaching First Responder classes and starting the youth Fire Cadet Program. He retired as a Captain. It was important to Bill to make a difference in his community, and he did this in many ways. He revealed his breadth of character traits through a number of seasons at the Sawdust Theater by taking on the roles of villain, sidekick and even the good guy once. He supported the Chamber of Commerce in many ways, including writing Cowboy Poetry for fundraisers. He enjoyed sharing stories with Marine Corps League members during their annual youth fishing pole give away. He held many roles over the years at the Episcopal Churches in Coquille and in Bandon. Environmental stewardship was also important to Bill and he helped start the ODFW’s Salmon & Trout Enhancement Program (STEP).

In Bill people found a kind ear and often wise advice; and if words did not reveal his big empathetic heart, his actions did.

The community has supported Bill and his family when they needed as well, like helping them after a large house fire.

Bill worked very hard at everything he did until retiring in 2017.

But he was also quick to laugh, sing a lil’ ditty, do a lil’ dance or just be

downright goofy. His children were always his biggest source of joy and pride.

He is survived by his wife, (Dorothy) Kay Marino; children, Amy Jo Marino and Jesse Benjamin Marino; brothers, Thomas Anthony Marino and Steven John Marino; aunt, Dixie Marino; loving in-laws; nieces; nephews; and many cousins.

A Memorial will be held Friday, August 25, 2023 3:00 PM at St. John Episcopal Church, 795 Franklin Ave., Bandon. On Saturday, August 26, 2023 there will be a Celebration of Life and potluck at Sturdivant Park in Coquille from 11:30 AM

to 4:00 PM. Gifts in memory of Bill can be made to St. John Church, PO Box 246, Bandon OR 97411 and to Maui Strong Fund https://www. hawaiicommunity foundation.org/mauistrong

and carefully pruned trees. One of Allen’s favorite activities during his later years was wood-cutting. He could often be found on early mornings high on a ridge with a chainsaw in his hands and a big grin on his face. He loved a good fire in his woodstove and his house was always warm and welcoming. Over the years, he developed and maintained many strong friendships with people of all ages and from all walks of life. He was a life-long patriot, a great storyteller and a careful listener. Allen lived his life committed to hard work, honesty, generosity, and a great sense of humor. He was loved deeply by his family and his friends.

Allen is survived by his children, Shirley and Bruce; nine grandchildren; numerous great grandchildren; nieces; nephews; and many dear and longtime friends.

Allen was preceded in death by his daughter, Susan and his son, Roney.
