Cleared for Takeoff: Master Plan Committee Set to Shape Airport’s Future

The Coos County Airport District has approved the creation of a multi-member Project Advisory Committee (PAC) to guide the development of a long-range Master Plan for the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. The district is now seeking applications from the Airport Heights Community for the committee.

The plan will provide a strategic roadmap for the airport’s growth and operations over the next decade. Addura has been contracted to lead the development process. The current Master Plan, developed in 2013, is available on the Coos County Airport District’s website.

“This committee ensures that the voices of our community, aviation partners, and regional industries are re ected in shaping the airport’s future,” said Executive Director Rodger Craddock. “The Southwest Oregon Regional Airport is a vital transportation and economic hub, and this plan will help us continue to serve the South Coast for years to come.”

An application form is available on the district’s website (http://bit.ly/48aa8jA) or at the district of ces located at 1100 Airport Lane, North Bend, OR 97459. You can also request a copy by emailing info@ yoth. com. Applications are due by 4:00 p.m. on October 15, 2025.

The Coos County Airport Board of Commissioners approved the PAC members on September 25, 2025. The panel represents a broad range of stakeholders, including a member of the Airport Heights community. It will also have representation from the board, Coos Aviation, TSA, US Coast Guard, the City of North

Bend, the Visitor and Convention Bureau, the South Coast Development Council, and a business representative from Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

Members will serve January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027. Meetings will be posted on the Coos County Airport District’s website and are open to the public. For more information, contact the Coos County Airport District Southwest Oregon Regional Airport at (541) 7568531.

Bandon Veteran Receives Recognition from Quilts of Valor

On Wednesday, September 24, 2025, Air Force

Sergeant Alan D. Minshall and his wife Kathleen hosted a “Quilts of Valor” ceremonial presentation in their Bandon residence in honor of Alan’s service to our nation.

Sgt. Minshall served a tour of duty in Thailand from 1972-1976 during the Vietnam con ict as an Imagery Interpreter in the 14th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron. He also earned a National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, and was Honorably Discharged.

Minshall was nominated by his close friend, Scott Mignery, to receive a handmade “American themed” Patchwork quilt made by several women volunteers. The national organization “Quilts of Valor” (www.QOVF.org) mission is to cover Service Members and Veterans touched by war with comforting and healing “Quilts of Valor”. Bobbie Sanford is the regional director for the State of Oregon and has an associated group known as the “Pieceful Posse”.

Uniquely, volunteers arrange to meet with Veterans at a location of their choice to receive their quilt and actively participate in the presentation and fanfare. Marine Sgt. Jerry Morgan and his wife Nancy served as sponsors.

After the Pledge of Allegiance, Sgt. Morgan, provided the background story of the organization “Quilts of Valor” and recognized the dedicated women nationwide whose efforts made and continue to make these “comfort quilts” for Veterans who have suffered long after the war is over.

The ceremony was followed by refreshments and conversation. Those attending were visibly moved by the ceremony. The Minshalls expressed their sincere appreciation to the Quilts of Valor Foundation, Sgt. Morgan and his wife, Nancy, and the treasure of a quilt that will be a comfort in years to come.

It’s one of the most recognizable sounds in the world: A blasting roar that could rattle a jungle. For lm lovers, it means one thing: a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer movie is about to roll. For decades, MGM meant top-quality entertainment. The very best in cinema.

The idea of using the King of the Jungle to kick off every MGM movie was the brainchild of advertising man Howard Dietz. He was inspired by the athletic teams at his alma mater, Columbia University, whose ght song said, “Go, Lions, go!”

Studio execs looked around and found a suitable animal from the Dublin Zoo named Clairbre (Irish for “charioteer”). By the time the hand-cranked camera began lming, he’d been

renamed Slats. He made his debut in Goldwyn Pictures in 1916, continuing on after it teamed up with two other studios.

Slats appeared in his rst MGM opening in 1924’s otherwise forgettable “He Who Gets Slapped.” That was the silent movie era, so he didn’t roar. He didn’t have to. Just seeing a 10-foot lion staring hungrily at them was enough to make moviegoers sit up and pay attention.

Then one day Al Jolson opened his mouth and said, “You ain’t seen nothing yet!” in 1927’s “The Jazz Singer,” and everything changed. “Flickers” quickly turned into “talkies.” It wasn’t enough for the lion to be seen; he must now be heard. The timing was good because Slats were getting long in the tooth. He could still roar, but not with great strength. MGM needed a new, younger King of the Jungle whose opening bellow would make hair stand up on the back of the audience’s necks. And it found one in Jackie. He was a lion’s lion, actually born in Sudan. Brought to the United States as a cub, he grew up in the Selig Zoo in Los Angeles. He

strutted with swagger, radiating four-pawed star power before he even opened his mouth. And when he did, his powerful lungs left no doubt who was the king.

Yet, he was also very good with people. In fact, he bonded so closely with trainer Melvin Koontz, Jackie allowed him to ride on his back.

One day in 1928, Jackie stood atop some wooden boxes, looked directly into the camera, and blasted out a ferocious roar. With that, MGM’s signature “bumper” — the trade term for the 10-second opening that appears right before a feature lm — was born. Jackie was seen rst in “White Shadows in the South Seas.” And he was a big hit with fans. Unfortunately, despite everything he had going for him, Jackie had a star-crossed travel career.

In 1927, just before his MGM debut, the plane transporting him crashed in rural Arizona. Pilot and lion alike survived on milk and sandwiches until they were rescued. During a later farewell tour (which involved a string of celebrity appearances

around the country), he escaped a studio explosion and two train wrecks.

MGM called all the big cats who’ve appeared in its lmed openings “Leo.” And Jackie was called “Lucky Leo” after that.

Though he survived repeated misfortune, he couldn’t survive the passage of time and the traumatic effect of all those mishaps. So Jackie was retired to the Philadelphia Zoo in 1931. He died there of a heart attack in 1935.

Jackie’s on-screen presence lived on long after he was gone. He appeared at the start of MGM’s black-and-white movies until 1956. For example, it’s him you see and hear bellowing at the sepia-toned start of the 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz.”

Judo twins win international gold medal

North Bend twins Brynn and Haley Buskerud won their second international gold medal recently during the 2025 Pan American Judo Kata Championships, held in Cancun, Mexico.

The sisters, who have won three national titles, won the U21 Ju no Kata (forms of gentleness) division.

“It was an amazing experience with amazing people,” Haley Buskerud said. “The Pan Ams give you a taste of what the World Championships will be like — high energy, navigating cultural barriers and exploring the world.”

“Kata competition is not only about earning medals, it’s about connections you make and the time you share learning from each other,” Brynn Buskerud added.

The twins are continuing to shine in judo while studying in college, Brynn at Southwestern Oregon Community College and Haley at the University of Oregon.

“These two are excellent athletes,” said their coach, Rob Schab. “To be able to prepare themselves for this level of tournament, make the trip to Mexico and compete with such success is pretty awesome.”

The event was a tune up for an even bigger one next month.

“Our next stop is the International Judo Federation World Championships to be held Nov. 8 in Paris, France,” Schab said.

SWOC volleyball ranked 8th in coaches poll

The Southwestern Oregon Community College volleyball team was ranked eighth in the most recent NWAC coaches poll.

The Lakers were among four teams in the always tough South Region in the top 10. Clackamas was ranked fourth, Linn-Benton fifth, Rogue seventh and the Lakers eighth.

Bellevue ranked first among the teams, followed by Treasure Valley.

The Lakers won three of their first four matches in the South Region and were 14-3 overall entering the week.

SWOCC’s two out-of-conference losses came to the top two teams in the poll. They fell to Treasure Valley in a five-set

Best bets for weekend fishing:

Coastal fall salmon seasons continue, with wild coho seasons continuing through mid-October or November. Remember to check in season regulations for wild Chinook and wild coho.

Fall salmon seasons include the first hatchery Chinook season in the Coquille River since 2021 is underway, open along with coho until Oct. 15. Summer steelhead runs are still on in the Nestucca and Wilson Rivers. Anglers report excellent trout fishing in Crooked River.

Howard and Hyatt Lakes offer good fishing for largemouth bass right now.

Fishing for Brook Trout in the Upper Sycan, Upper NF Sprague, Upper SF Sprague, Long Creek, Sevenmile and Upper Williamson will be exceptional.

Lake of the Woods was stocked two weeks ago with 1214 inch rainbow trout.

Campbell and Deadhorse Lake were stocked and should be great fishing.

October is the final month for anglers to enjoy Crane Prairie, the Metolius Arm of Lake Billy Chinook, the Metolius River above Allingham Bridge, Odell, and Wickiup before seasonal closures go into effect.

The Metolius and Shevlin youth and disabled angling ponds were recently stocked

with rainbow trout, this will be the final stocking of the year.

Flyfishing the NF Sprague River with large stonefly patterns should be excellent Kokanee are spawning at Wallowa Lake state park and make for some great wildlife viewing this time of year.

Clatsop beaches opened to razor clamming on Oct. 1. Crabbing remains open along the Oregon coast.

Reminder that E.E. Wilson Wildlife Area’s shotgun range is closed for renovations thru October.

These examples are for demonstration purposes only. Refer to the zone reports for more details and possibilities.

Cascade hike-in lakes offer beauty, serenity and the potential for untrammeled fishing opportunities.

Zosel followed his career at Marshfield with a successful basketball career that has turned into a coaching career. He currently is head men’s basketball coach at Southern Oregon University and last year led the Raiders to the NAIA national tournament, following a successful stint at Lane Community College. He ranks second on Marshfield’s all-time list in the high jump and was third in that event at the state meet his senior year. He was a three-time Academic All-American for Southern Oregon during his collegiate playing career in football and basketball.

Burgher was a basketball and football star for the Pirates and went on to play football at Boise State University. He was the unanimous Midwestern League MVP and an all-state player for Marshfield and, like Zosel, won the Prefontaine Award his senior year. Brands was the Midwestern League volleyball MVP as a senior for the Pirates, earning first-team all-state honors, and went on to star for Fairfield University. She also is tied for fourth on Marshfield’s all-time list for the high jump in track and field.

The 2006 dance team, led by coach Debbie Brown, won the Class 4A small division, the school’s sixth title and the second under Brown. Team member Amanda Johnson was an all-state selection.

Norma Taylor August 14, 1929 – August 1, 2025

Norma Dean (Noyes) Taylor, beloved mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother, passed away peacefully in Eugene, Oregon, in the early morning of August 1, 2025, at the age of 95, with her granddaughter Katy Carmel holding her hand. She raised five children, and a sixth, Sara Jo, passed away in infancy. Just a week before her passing, Norma was joyfully present at a family reunion hosted at her daughter Kelly’s home, where she spent a sunny weekend visiting with more than 40

family members, including all of her children, many grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. Three nephews, Mike, Leo, and Larry, and two nieces, Arlene and Barbara, were also able to attend. Family was everything to Norma, and she often reminded her children, “We have a wonderful family.” Norma was born on August 14, 1929, in Santa Cruz, California. Her early years were shaped by the Great Depression and World War II. When Norma was five, Ed “Papa Eddie” Noyes entered

Norma and her two older sisters, Helen and Lucile lives, bringing stability and uniting the family. During the war years they relocated to Crockett, California, where Eddie worked at Mare Island Naval Shipyard and Norma attended John Swett Union High School in Rodeo. After the war the family returned to Santa Cruz, where she graduated from high school before working for the telephone company in Berkeley and Oakland.

Sole Mates’ October Community Walk Set for John Topits Park

FROM THE COOS BAY LIBRARY

Coos Bay Public Library and local walking group, Sole Mates, will cohost Sole Mates’ Community Walk every fourth Saturday. Our October walk will be held at the John Topits Lower Loop (355 Hull St, Coos Bay) on Saturday, October 25 at 10:00am. In May of 2023, Coos Bay Public Library, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), and twenty members of the Coos Bay community formed the Sole Mates. This partnership began a two-year research study to learn the effects of walking as a group and engaging civically to improve public health and walkability in our community. The Sole Mates decided to use funds awarded by OHSU to create a free walking guide to inspire other community members to get outside, walk, and improve their health. You are invited to walk these trails with the Mates. Let’s walk!

Every month, we will meet at the next trail in the Walking Guide. Walks are FREE to join and open to everyone! Get physical copies of the guide at the library or download it @ https://www.coosbaylibrary.org/ sole-mates

North Bend Police K9 Athena

Narcotics-Detection Certi

K9 Athena of the North Bend Police Department has earned certi cation from the Oregon Police Canine Association this week after a narcotics-detection evaluation, the agency announced.

“Athena’s OPCA certi cation con rms she meets Oregon’s rigorous standards to detect illegal drugs and is ready to serve our community alongside her handler, Of cer Martin,” Police Chief Cal Mitts said. The certi cation authorizes Athena to detect controlled substances, including cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and fentanyl.

Mitts credited community support for restarting the department’s K9 program. “We’re grateful to every donor who helped bring the program back,” he said. The department noted that an upcoming private donor meet-and-greet with Athena is at capacity after an additional sponsor

stepped forward. The program also received a $16,000 gift from Ken and Joy Ware. Since launching, Athena earned her rst Makor certi cation and, with Of cer Martin, assisted the South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team on a search warrant that led to the recovery of fentanyl, U.S. currency and rearms, according to the department.

Residents who wish to support the program may donate by check payable to the City of North Bend. Checks can be delivered to the North Bend Police Department or City Hall, arranged for pickup by calling 541-756-3161, or mailed to P.O. Box B, North Bend, OR 97459. Donations of more than $100 will receive a tax receipt. Online donations are accepted at northbendoregon.us/k9donation.

“This program is an investment in public safety, and Athena is already making a difference,” Mitts said.

Speaker Series Saturday, October 25 Noon

McEntee Room Newport Public Library 35 NW Nye St., Newport Presenter, Ryan Tucker Jones. The meeting is free and open to the public.

As I See It

I recently wrote a story about Franklin Auto Court, which was built not long after the Fire of 1936 by then Mayor K. I. Franklin. But it seems that there was more to the story than I realized. I thought the only building that remained was the original house, now owned by Southern Coos Hospital board member Kay Hardin.

But there was more.

Fred Gernandt, who loves history as much as I do, congratulated me on my “As I See It” series and said if he had the energy he would publish them all as a compilation.

“My mom (the late Frances Cavoretto) bought the Franklin Auto Court ( rst photo) in the late ‘60s. She removed most of the cottages except the two in the northeast corner. They were combined into one larger cabin which has been added on to through the years. Toby Cole was mom’s contractor. Elmer Armstrong connected the sewer. I know this as Colleen and son David and I lived there during the summer of 1971. My mom had me work there. I installed tile ooring which was still there when Gregg and Kelly Oney purchased the home a few years ago.

“Jim and Donna Reilly and family rented the main home from my mom, which is now owned by Kay Hardin,” Fred said.

The second photo was taken in September of 1962 at the intersection of Highway 101 (Second Street) and Fillmore Avenue during a sewer installation. At right you can see Bob Schultz’ Bandon Plumbing Shop, which is located on the property now occupied by the Art By The Sea gallery and the Station Restaurant.

An article in September of 1949 tells the story of the Bandon Volunteer Fire Department saving the old east Bandon high school building (third photo) from destruction when a blaze broke out from a defective ue.... 13 years after the school survived

the Fire of 1936.

“The re was discovered by Arthur Jacobs, who rushed into the school and noti ed members of the G. I. cranberry school who were meeting on the rst oor. They had to break glass in the of ce door to gain access to the telephone to turn in the alarm, only to hear the siren as they reached the phone.

“Keith Goldhammer, school superintendent, said about $10 worth of damage was done to the supply room to books and magazines. None of the school records were damaged.” Today, the Bandon History Museum has the original card le of students who had attended the Bandon schools dating back to at least the 1930s (as I found my parents in the le).

The new high school on Ninth Street was completed in late 1949 and students moved in after Christmas break on Jan. 3, 1950. The old school was torn down several years later, and the “new” school was destroyed by an arson re in January of 1974.

*

* * I am sorry to report that my long-time friend Brian Vick died last week in Medford at the age of 75 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He had lived in Bandon nearly 50 years, and had operated an antique business, Neat Old Stuff, in the Continuum Center and the Hardin building at the south city limits for years. He had a long history of community service, having served 10 years on the hospital board, one term as mayor and many years on the city council. He was also a long-time member of the Bandon Historical Society board of directors and the Bandon Rotary Club.

Among his survivors is his daughter, Klyta Leavy, of Medford, her husband and three grandsons. Two sisters also survive. Friends plan some sort of a memorial for him, and I will share details when I

know more.

*

* * I learned this week that a former resident of Bandon, Donna Syverson Junge, died recently in Eugene. She was married to the late Rod Junge, who shed commercially when they lived here. Among her relatives is her step-brother, Graydon Stinnett, who noti ed local friends of her passing.

She was a 1959 graduate of Bandon High School.

*

* * A Bandon native Irene Long Berry, a member of the pioneer Long family, died recently in Portland shortly before her 101st birthday. She and her late husband Fred owned a ranch on North Bank Road where they raised their three children, Marie, Bonnie and Jim, who survive her. She was the last of the 10 Long children, who included Thelma Chandler, who also died at 100; Leola Hultin, who was 90, and sister Pat Staten, who died at 85.

* * * Karen Stafford texted me Sunday to say that her 29-year-old daughter, Jenna, had been attacked by an unleashed dog while walking on the trail near Bandon Christian Fellowship earlier that afternoon. Although she did not name the owner she said the owner was there and had two dogs not on a leash, and told her the dog was current on its vaccinations.

“That’s ne, but it does not justify the attack,” said Stafford. “My daughter had a deep puncture wound to the front and back of her calf. She was assessed at the emergency room at Southern Coos

Hospital who said they would send the information to Animal Control.”

I reminded her that people need to carry some sort of pepper spray or repellent as there have been a number of unprovoked dog attacks in the past. She said her daughter would de nitely be carrying pepper spray. She also asked me to remind people to keep their dogs on a leash.

“The ER nurse asked her if she wanted to le a police report, but she declined, although I wish she had,” Stafford said.

After one particularly vicious attack, I thought the city and the hospital had reached an agreement that if a dog attack victim came into the ER, they would contact the police department, but maybe that is no longer the case. I will be looking into this as a member of the hospital board. People should not end up in the ER after a leisurely stroll on area trails.

* * *

Speaking of Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center, I am happy to report that Emily Shoemaker, former pharmacist at Rite-Aid is now working for the hospital’s new public pharmacy. She is the third full-time pharmacist at the clinic, which lled 1500 prescriptions in August after being open only a couple of months. “She is well known for her compassion and friendly service,” said a hospital spokesman.

* * * The Bandon High School football squad kept its unbeaten streak alive by rolling over Illinois Valley last Friday night 46-7, after wins of 49-0, 45-6 and 55-6 the previous three weekends.

Next game for the Tigers was at Glide Friday

night, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m., followed by a game at Reedsport, Oct. 10, at 7. The next three games are here, including Myrtle Point, Oct. 17; Gold Beach, Oct. 24 and Oakland, Oct. 31. All games start at 7.

* * * Because the museum may be in the midst of construction on the new Don and Joan Lynam Event Center, the Bandon Historical Society won’t be able to host the popular “Night at the Museum” at the museum this year. However construction will not stop us from celebrating the museum. Join us Thursday, Oct. 9, at the Bandon Fisheries Warehouse from 5 to 7 p.m. for delicious food, good company, a no host bar and a special “History Detectives Challenge.” Stop by the museum or call 541-347-2164 to reserve your spot. Tickets are $15 and proceeds bene t the museum. “Come and enjoy a ‘Night FOR the Museum’ away from the museum,” said Elaine Stohler, president, Bandon Historical Society.

* * * The Bandon Booster Club’s annual Gold Rush dessert auction and fundraiser is Saturday, Oct. 18, at The Barn Community Center at 5. Tickets are available from any varsity coach or Briana Hutchens at Beauty Unleashed on

Highway 101. A table for 8 is $250.

* * * The Gala, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Sprague Community Theater, was a big success, with a catered dinner by Black Market Gourmet and a concert of musical theater opera, art songs and chamber music. The featured soloists were Lachlan Miller and Nicole Stover, with classical music by the Red sh Music ensemble (Fritz Gearhart, Zachary Deak and Noah Seitz), and a wonderful Anniversary Chorus, comprised of Dan Barnett, Jessica Burg (voice and percussion), Angie Caylor, Destyni Fuller, Nicole Guzman (piano), Maya Hawthorne, Eliza Kimball, Candace Kreitlow (voice, guitar and harp), Merle Morrigan, Geneva Miller, Lachlan Miller, Amy Moss Strong, Autumn Moss-Strong, Bobbi Neason (voice and

Obituaries

Roger Albert Myhre, age 95, of North Bend, Oregon, went to his heavenly home on August 19, 2025.

150 years ago, Roger’s Grandpa Nils Myhre, at the age of 23, boarded the ship “Hero” in Norway and traveled to America. He settled in Minnesota and became a tailor. Also during this time, Roger’s other grandparents Ole and Ingeborg Jacobson, residents of Denmark, immigrated and settled in Minnesota on a farm. The early settlers built Bear Creek Lutheran Church and Roger’s relatives were buried in the surrounding churchyard. In Roger’s words, “It is heartwarming to visit and think about those early pioneers whose high priority was to build their church and spread the good news of Jesus Christ and the gospel message of salvation to the area. “

Roger was born November 9, 1929, in Austin, Minnesota, to Albert B. Myhre, a Norwegian, and Annette Marie (Jacobson) Myhre, Danish.

Roger grew up in Grand Meadow, Minnesota. He was baptized and confirmed at Grand Meadow Lutheran Church. Roger graduated from Grand Meadow High School in 1947. He enlisted in the United States Air Force and served three years during the Korean War. He was stationed in Germany. Upon return, Roger attended and graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1958 with a degree in forestry. He

passed away Sept 25, 2025, in Portland, where she lived for the past 10 years. She was 100 years old—and seven days short of being 101 years. She was born Oct. 2, 1924, to Iva and Dora Long, the eighth of ten children. At her death she was the last living member of the family. She was born in Bandon, but in 1927 the family moved to a house her father built near his sawmill off of Seven Devils Road. Her

Roger Myhre met Mary Elaine Dahlberg in church in Solon Springs, Wisconsin. Mary was the pianist. Soon after, Roger arrived at Mary’s parents’ doorstep asking if Mary would give him piano lessons which she did. Later Roger was the driver for a Dahlberg family vacation trip to California. Roger asked Mary to marry him on the Pacific Coast beach. She said, “Yes!”

In 1958, Roger and Mary were married. They raised five children: Tammy, Faith, Jennifer, Peter, and Jon. First they lived in Grand Marais, Minnesota, where Roger built his first home. As Roger advanced in his career, he and his family had the privilege of living many different places.

From Minnesota the Myhres moved to Coos Bay (Greenacres), Oregon. Next Roger went to college at Oregon State University and received his teaching certificate. They then loaded their big truck Pedro and headed to Allen, South Dakota, where Roger taught 5th grade on the Sioux Indian Reservation. Their family went on to Rushville, Nebraska, and then Roger returning to forestry, relocated to Kemmerer, Wyoming. Afterwards, an arduous trip ensued as he and his family took a long trek westward with their mobile home in tow to live in Ellensburg and then

childhood was spent roaming the woods and attending Seaside School, set on a hilltop overlooking the ocean. She later rode the school bus town.

Irene remembered the Bandon Fire of 1936, which threatened their house in the woods. She lived through the Depression and recalled first hearing about the Pearl Harbor attack on the radio.

She graduated from Riverton High School in 1942 and soon moved to Portland where she worked

Sonny grew up in Bandon, Oregon and graduated from Bandon High School in 1967. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in June 1968 and was deployed to Vietnam for a year with honorable discharge and rank of corporal.

Sonny married Christine L Pugh/Layton on November 18, 1978, and they lived throughout their marriage of nearly 50 years in Coos Bay Oregon. He was a federal postal carrier for 31 years. He

Kittitas, Washington. Roger and Mary always loved Oregon. Roger’s last transfer was to Powers, Oregon. They lived in nearby Myrtle Point and Roger commuted by carpool to work. He would often be seen jogging home from work before the carpool vehicle caught up with him.

Roger’s plan was to work hard and retire at 55 years of age. In 1984, Roger Myhre retired at the age of 55 and built a stunning house in Greenacres, just south of Coos Bay, the same location he had lived at the beginning of his life journey. Their home was bedecked with natural wood within and made with skillful, clever architecture.

Roger and his wife Mary welcomed many into their home in the country. They lived there 37 years until they moved to Inland Point Assisted Living in North Bend, Oregon, and have been living there the last 4 years. Roger and Mary have been married for 67 years.

Roger was deeply committed to and loved his church family at Faith Lutheran Church. These people were an inspiration to him! Roger was involved in clown ministry, Boys & Girls Club, a mission to Vietnam and Mexico, the local food bank, and helping the Navajo Indians. In his 80’s, he ran the Prefontaine 10K race for three years in Coos Bay, Oregon. Roger will be greatly missed, but let us be inspired by the person he is and the

folding parachutes for World War II paratroopers.

In December that year she returned to Coos County as the bride of Fred Berry, a local dairy farmer. For the next 35 years they milked cows and developed their farm, located on the Coquille River. She became an accomplished homemaker, gardener and seamstress. Fred often said she could do whatever she put her mind to do—and you could be sure the job was done right. She loved

enjoyed playing softball, golf, music, and old hot rods.

He will be missed immensely by family and friends.

Southwestern Oregon Community College is pleased to announce its rst-ever Guest Artist in Residence. This year’s guest artist, Tristan Perrotti, is a Portland-based visual artist, arts advocate, and educator.

“This is the rst time in the college’s history that we have hosted an Artist in Residence, and we’re excited to share this opportunity with the community we serve! It will be a truly unique experience for our students and for anyone who has the chance to work with Tristan or engage with his work,” said Ali Mageehon, Vice President of Instruction and Student Services.

The Guest Artist in Residence project is a partnership between the College, SWOCC Foundation, private donors, and the Coos Art Museum. It’s designed to provide a nearly year-long opportunity for an artist to focus on their work, inspire artistic exploration, and drive collaboration between the college and community.

“It is vitally important in a community to have the arts ourish. Coos Bay and North Bend have always had a major art community. To support that community with The Arts and an Artist in Residence is important. SWOCC Foundation is committed and excited in being able to help,” said Arnie Roblan, SWOCC Foundation Chair.

The program will run from September 2025 – June 2026 at Southwestern’s Coos Campus. Through the year, Perrotti will continue to build his personal practice, mentor students through workshops, and have

access to the College’s gallery space in Eden Hall to exhibit his own work.

Beyond his studio practice, he has curated exhibitions that elevate emerging and underrepresented voices in contemporary art.

Perrotti’s work bridges the emotional immediacy of expressionist portraiture with a sustained engagement in community and public life, exploring masculinity, labor, and the performance of self through painting.

Perrotti brings a record of arts advocacy, having worked in the Oregon State Legislature to champion historic preservation, creative economy jobs, and access to arts education. His residency at Southwestern will focus on creating new, site-responsive work and fostering connections across the Bay Area arts community.

There were recently a number of great sporting events including the double overtime victory by the

Oregon Ducks over the Penn State Nittany Lions. Gol ng fans watched the Ryder Cup, which was hosted by the USA this year on Bethpage Black, a professional course in New York. After taking a commanding lead the rst two days, the Europeans prevailed on Shane Lowry’s putt 15-13 in spite of a sensational comeback by the USA team. Unfortunately, a group of Ugly Americans added an embarrassing dimension to the event, requiring increased security! It was tting that Lowry sunk the winning putt as he and McElroy had been subjected to the most vocal and obscene harassment as partners on Saturday.
