Children, and Families in Need

Kozy Kitchen Launches “Kozy Kindness Menu” to Support Seniors,

Pay-what-you-can options available for SNAP recipients and those facing financial hardship

FROM THE CITY OF NORTH BEND

Kozy Kitchen locations in North Bend and Myrtle Point are launching a temporary “Kozy Kindness Menu” beginning Tuesday, November 4, 2025, to help ensure no one in the community goes hungry. The initiative is a pay-whatyou-can program created in response to growing need for affordable, nourishing meals — especially among seniors, children, and families struggling to make ends meet.

The Kozy Kindness Menu features homestyle favorites at reduced, accessible price points, including:

• Pancake Breakfast — $5

• Biscuit & Gravy with 2 Eggs and 2 Sausage or Bacon — $5

• Cheeseburger Basket — $6

• Baked Pasta Ziti with Meat Sauce and Garlic Bread — $7

• Meatloaf Dinner Plate — $7

These meals will be available to SNAP recipients and anyone experiencing nancial hardship.

“We’re especially concerned for our seniors, our children, and anyone struggling to make ends meet right now,” said David Grover, speaking on behalf of Kozy Kitchen. “This is about neighbors helping neighbors — a little comfort, and a lot of love, from our kitchen to those in need.”

Community members who wish to support the effort can also take part in a Pay It Forward option. Through this feature, anyone can purchase a “Kozy Kindness Meal” in advance for someone in need. These prepaid meals will be made available to

guests who could use a warm, hearty plate and a reminder that their community cares.

“With this program, Kozy Kitchen hopes to ease food in-

security while building connection, compassion, and community resilience — one meal at a time,” Grover added. Meals will be available in

limited quantities, but Kozy Kitchen will do all it can to provide as many as possible to the community.

Girl Scouts’ Annual Tree of Joy

Celebrates 42 Years of Giving in Coos Bay and North Bend

The holiday spirit is alive and well in Coos County as Girl Scouts of Oregon and Southwest Washington’s Service Unit 62 once again hosts the beloved Tree of Joy, marking its 42nd year of bringing warmth and kindness to neighbors in need.

From November 18 through December 21, 2025, community members are invited to visit the Tree of Joy at Pony Village Mall (1611 Virginia Ave., North Bend) to help brighten the holidays for children, families, seniors, at-risk youth, and people experiencing homelessness. Last year, the community’s generosity provided more than 900 gifts to local individuals and families — each connected through partner agencies that serve the North Bend and Coos Bay areas.

“It’s amazing to see how this simple act of giving has grown into a 40-year community tradition,” said a spokesperson for Service Unit 62. “Every ornament represents a real person in our community, and every gift makes the season a little brighter.”

How It Works Participating is simple:

- Visit the Tree of Joy at Pony Village Mall.

- Select an ornament and purchase the gift listed.

- Return the wrapped or gift-bagged item — with the ornament attached — by December 20.

All names on the ornaments are changed to protect recipients’ privacy. Gift requests come directly from local service agencies, ensuring the gifts reach those who need them most.

The Tree of Joy began in 1983, when a local troop of sixth-grade Girl Scouts launched the project as a way to support their community. Since then, thousands of gifts have been distributed to partner agencies — and thousands of hearts touched — thanks to the ongoing efforts of local Girl Scouts and the generosity of Coos County residents. For questions about the Tree of Joy, please email serviceunit62@gmail.com.

Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, they say. And as one instance showed, they come in all ages, too. In many ways, Calvin Graham’s story was typical of many young men of his generation. His childhood was spent in a poor family, trying to get by amid the Great Depression. He sold newspapers to help make ends meet.

His dad died, his mom remarried, and Calvin was ready to leave home. Like many folks in his dire situation at the time, he saw joining the military as a way out. However, there was a problem. Calvin was 12 years old in 1942, not even close to being old enough to enlist legally.

That didn’t stop him. With meticulous planning, he started shaving (even though he didn’t need to), deepened his voice, and walked rigidly erect, all in a bid to appear older. He carefully

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

forged his mother’s signature on his enlistment papers, and even memorized a fake birthdate.

And with that, he was in the U.S. Navy. While other kids his age back home were learning the three R’s, Calvin was undergoing basic training. With war raging in the Paci c, the youngster was assigned to the USS South Dakota and shipped off to sea.

His baptism of re quickly followed.

November 14-15, 1942, the South Dakota came under withering attack in the brutal Battle of Guadalcanal. It wasn’t kid stuff. Though barely in puberty, he was now in life-or-death combat.

One shell after another slammed into the South Dakota as it bore the brunt of a savage Japanese assault. Burning shrapnel seared Calvin’s body. Bleeding profusely, the 5-foot-tall sailor helped rescue his injured crewmates as re raged through the damaged ship, pulling as many as he could to safety despite his intense pain.

The South Dakota managed to stay a oat, though badly damaged. Forty of its crew were killed; an additional 180 were wounded, including Calvin, who

received the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his heroism, along with the respect of those who had witnessed his bravery.

However, trouble was brewing back home. His relatives got wind of his enlistment and wrote to the Navy Department, informing of cials that he wasn’t even a teenager yet.

An investigation followed, and Calvin’s story swiftly fell apart. He was unceremoniously arrested, stripped of all his medals and citations, dishonorably discharged, and sent packing.

No one knew it at the time, but Calvin Graham left the Navy as the youngest American to ght in World War II.

A hard life followed. After he’d survived severe combat, he couldn’t just go home and hang out at the soda fountain in the local drugstore with other adolescents. He married at 14, became a father at 15, and was divorced by 17. He also enlisted in the Marine Corps, legally this time, when he was 17. Bad luck still followed him. He fell off a pier and broke his back during the Korean War, ending his military service.

trying to clear his name. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed off on his nally received an honorable discharge.

In 1988, his story was turned into the TV movie “Too Young To Serve” starring Ricky Schroder. That same year, President Ronald Reagan signed legislation that allowed him to receive $18,000 to cover his past medical bills.

Fortune, it seemed, was nally smiling on the once young warrior. All too soon, it faded.

With many of the doctors who had treated him over the years now dead, he was unable to produce the required receipts for his treatment, and so he received only $2,100 of the $18,000 he was entitled to.

Even worse, although the lm rights to his story had fetched $50,000, two agents took half of it, with another big chunk going to the author of an unpublished book about his wartime exploits. Calvin was left with just $15,000 — before taxes. His heart nally gave out, and he died in 1992 at age 62, two years before the secretary of the Navy personally presented his Purple Heart to his widow.

and women who served their country during World War II were later celebrated as heroes. Calvin Graham spent his entire life ghting for the right to be ofcially recognized as one of them.

Unraveling the Burden of Military Service

Military service has long carried unavoidable risks, and among the most enduring is toxic exposure, a crisis stemming from the extensive use of hazardous substances, among them asbestos.

Equally alarming is the pervasive pollution caused by per- and poly uoroalkyl substances (PFAS), arti cial compounds widely used in re ghting foams and turnout gear. Because these chemicals are difcult to break down, they can slowly in ltrate soil and groundwater, exposing veterans and nearby communities to ongoing health risks, alongside various other pollutants.

The commitment to honoring our local heroes remains strong. This year,

each November remind the nation of its enduring promise to veterans and their families; yet, such remembrance rings hollow if government reforms seriously falter in implementation.

To address this, lawmakers passed the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022, which broadens access to healthcare services and disability bene ts. Under this program, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has already received nearly three million claims, including over 30,000 from Oregon, while almost two million applications have been approved.

Building on this, the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act was likewise enacted to aid veterans

“The fundraising drive typically runs from April to October. We’re usually at the parking lots of Bi-Mart and McKays,”

struggling with mortgage payments.

Even with these promising measures, navigating the claims process and obtaining rightful bene ts remains a challenge for many. Ensuring these measures achieve their full impact requires that policymakers and other stakeholders collaborate to simplify processes as well as expand outreach to guarantee that all veterans and their families get the care and support they direly need.

We’re grateful for every opportunity to raise awareness of their toxic exposure, one of the many challenges they encounter during service. Many vets face illnesses from various exposures, in addition to everyday

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: Not applicable due to loan maturity TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $2,321,035.94 PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT REINSTATEMENT WILL NOT BE AN OPTION AT THIS TIME, AS THE ENTIRE BALANCE OF THE DEBT IS OWED AND DUE.

It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The loan has matured and all balances due under the terms of the promissory note dated 10/11/2023 have not been paid, including the balance of principal and interest, along with late charges, foreclosure fees and costs, any legal fees, and/or advances that have become due.

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: $9,670.94 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $134,316.82

Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 2/1/2025, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION, the undersigned trustee will on 3/2/2026 at the hour of 10:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, Inside the main lobby of the Coos County Courthouse, located at 250 N Baxter St, Coquille, OR 97423 County of COOS, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of

A conversation with Bay Area Hospital’s new CEO

By NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

Amid financial difficulties that led to massive turnaround efforts and a new-look Board of Directors at Bay Area Hospital (BAH), said board made the critical decision to appoint Gretchen Nichols as the hospital’s new CEO last month. Before new board elections in May this year, the hospital’s decision makers under former-CEO Brian Moore were adamant that BAH would have to sell to private equity-owned healthcare management firm Quorum to survive. Now, with new leadership at the helm, BAH faces the uphill climb of keeping the hospital independent under a worsening climate for rural healthcare nationwide.

We sat down with Nichols to hear her connection to the area, her journey through the healthcare industry, her ideas on the turnaround, and her leadership philosophies. A condensed version of that interview is presented below:

The World:

What is your connection to the South Coast?

There have been a lot of comments about how you’ve chosen Coos Bay, chosen to retire here.

Gretchen Nichols:

Well, I grew up in California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. My undergrad program was at Humboldt State, not too far from here on the North Coast of California. Arcada, Eureka, lots of similar culture and communities to here. I lived for ten years in that community… Through job opportunities I moved up into the Portland market, had kids and a family up there. I worked in the Portland Market in healthcare, in executive leadership, and I decided that I wanted to retire early. I looked around for where I wanted to spend my time and wanted a community, culture, and environment that was different. I loved the coast and identified Coos Bay as an ideal community… It was more of a true community here, and I love the climate and the activities here. I’m an outdoors person. We love the beach, the woods, going up to the Elliot State Forest. We love fishing, crabbing. It just really fit for us. We found some great land here and wanted to build a house…

I also thought, I’m going to live in this community so I want to be a part of the healthcare that’s delivered here, because I’m going to be a user of that. I got connected with the team here and started helping out in a part time capacity.

Once I started working here, I just kept getting drawn into the work. It has so much potential here, there’s so much we can do to make this place great... I kept offering myself up to do more… I ran a community hospital in Gresham for 15 years. Mt. Hood Medical Center is very similar in a lot of ways to [BAH]. I also led a level one trauma center, a 500-bed hospital in Portland as well. So, I

have that experience in leading executive healthcare operations, and I knew I could add value…

The World:

You started at the bottom of the ladder in healthcare; can you talk about your journey up and the perspective it gives you?

Gretchen Nichols:

I was trained as a nurse at Humboldt State, and that was my entry into healthcare. I started as a CNA when I was in nursing school. When I think about my journey in healthcare, I literally have done every role. I was a CNA, then a nurse,

then a charge nurse, an educator, assistant nurse manager, manager, director, CNO, president. I went all the way up the chain.

I think my clinical background definitely helps me with a broad perspective of the workforce, and the operations and work that’s being done here… Why I stay in the work that I do is because I love people, and I love investing in people. When I think about changes and impacts that we’re making I

always think, ‘How does this affect the people that do the work?’ How does this affect a CNA, or the person working in the cafeteria, or the engineer that’s working on our

Gretchen Nichols:

When people talk about reducing costs, restructuring, I can imagine staff gets antsy. They worry about lay-offs, they worry about downsizing. Do you have a message to staff who might be

of oaded at their parking lot, because the shipment requires an 18-wheel truck to get them here.

“They’re delivered to the Elks Lodge parking lot because there’s no other place for that,” said Bemis. “The truck can’t get to the cemetery. It’s usually an eighteen-wheeler.”

In addition, Dan Brattain, founder of Cal-Ore Life Flight, has arranged for special yovers during the ceremony.

The remembrance is capped off just after Christmas, when the cemetery staff performs the somber duty of removing the wreaths.

While the ceremony is a staple of the holiday season, the ve-year stewardship of long-time organizers Don Bemis and Debbie Salzman is beginning to wind down.

Due to age, they can no longer commit the same level of energy to the program, so the search is on for dedicated community members to take the reins and ensure the tradition thrives for years to come.

“Volunteers are needed not just for the day of the ceremony, but to spearhead the program so that this important tribute is

not lost to the community,” said Bemis. According to the website: Wreaths Across America was founded in 2007 to continue and expand the annual wreath-laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery begun by Maine wreath maker Morrill Worcester in 1992. The organization’s year-long mission— Remember the fallen, Honor those who serve, Teach the next generation the value of freedom—is carried out, in part, each year by coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies in December at thousands of participating locations in all 50 states and beyond. For more information, or to become a volunteer, contact: Don Bemis at: dieselair47@ att.net or 541-661-0462 or Debbie Salzman at dgailsalzman@att.net or 760-985-3339.

CITY OF REEDSPORT PLANNING DEPARTMENT

PUBLIC HEARING

November 25 - 5:00 pm December 1 - 7:00 pm Reedsport City Hall

The City of Reedsport is considering amendments to Reedsport Municipal Code Title 10 Land Usage: Division III Zoning Residential R-1 and Accessory Dwelling Units. For videoconference login information, please visit: https:// www.cityofreedsport.org/meetings and click on the meeting’s agenda (or contact City Hall).

As I See It

“When you hear the re siren, unless you are a reman, don’t rush to the telephone and ask central where the re is,” was the suggestion of Fire Chief C.S. “Curly” Woomer ( rst photo) in the Sept. 24, 1936, Western World.

“So many calls comes in to the board at the telephone exchange immediately after an alarm that it is impossible for the operator to handle them without some delay. Firemen who are not down town where they can catch the re truck must depend upon central giving them the information so they can get to the scene by private conveyance.

“Fire prevention week comes Oct. 4th to 10th. It is a good time to think about ways and means of lessening the annual loss.”

Within a few days of this article appearing, most of the town was destroyed by re.

“Coast Lumber Yard has ne location” is the headline on the front page of the Sept. 17, 1936, Western World. “The Coast Lumber Yard (second photo) has during the past month moved from its limited quarters on the dock of the Moore Mill & Lumber company to its recently acquired building, the former Oriental Hall, on Fillmore avenue between First and Second streets.

“This building 60x90 feet in size has been remodeled. The second oor has been removed and storage space has been provided for half a million feet of lumber, which is stacked on end.”

This article was printed two weeks before the Bandon Fire, which the Coast Lumber Yard survived and continued as a viable business for several more decades, mostly under the ownership of George Steddom. He was mayor when I rst joined the City Council in 1977.

“Two Fire Calls” was the headline on the Sept. 24, 1936, Western World.

“The re department responded to a call last Wednesday afternoon

when a grass re east of town endangered the home of George Gerber and other property.

“Shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday morning the department was called to Natureland Home (third photo) at the beach, owned by John Dornath & Sons, where gasoline caused a re in the family garage when their individual lighting system was started up. The garage building was in ames when the department arrived and was extinguished with the water in the booster tank of the re truck. The garage is close to the house.”

As Natureland was several miles south of town along the beach, it also survived the Fire.

* * * It was such a beautiful day Sunday, that I was surprised when I got several warnings through Everbridge, about high winds which were expected to hit Monday (Nov. 3) between 1 p.m. and 10 p.m. Gusts up to 60 miles an hour were predicted.

*

* * After writing about the latest real estate scam in my column last week, I received an email from another Bandon couple, who had a similar experience ... that could have cost them $160,000!

They had returned home from a trip in late June and discovered the lot next door to them with a for sale sign, which was a surprise because the owner always told them he did not want to sell.

The next morning they checked the MLS and con rmed that the lot was listed. They contacted the listing realtor and submitted an offer that day. The next day the offer was accepted and escrow was opened through Ticor Title. They were preparing to wire the earnest money when they got a call from Ticor and subsequently the listing realtor that the lot was fraudulently listed by someone posing as the owner. Ticor found out

By Mary Schamehorn

about the fraud when they contacted the actual owner as part of the escrow process. Apparently the realtor had not veri ed the identity of the person listing the property.

“We were so grateful that Ticor discovered the fraud, and so was the actual owner when we communicated with him. To think we might have paid out and lost $160,000,” said the couple.

* * *

Last week, the Bandon Police Department posted a scam alert on Facebook involving fake City of Bandon invoices. “We’ve been made aware of a new scam involving fraudulent invoices that appear to come from the City planning department. These fake invoices require payment for project fees and claim that payment must be made in full before approvals can be issued.

“DO NOT send any money! The scammers are asking for payment via wire transfer, which is not how the City of Bandon collects fees,” said the post.

* * * I read about a fatal accident on Lampa Lane, at milepost 3, Friday afternoon, and learned from Facebook that the victim was 67-year-old John Lindegren, who has lived in the Coquille-Myrtle Point area for many years.

The driver, Jason Barreras Sanchez, 43, Myrtle Point, was arrested for rst degree manslaughter and booked into the Coos County Jail.

* * * Fresh off a 56-18 win over Oakland, the Bandon Tiger football team were to host Harrisburg Friday night in the rst round of the State A2 football championship.

This is the rst time in over 30 years that the league champion Tigers have been undefeated for the regular season. The team is coached by Dustin Carmack. Senior members include Shane McGuire-Korp, Cody Robison, Reggie Turner, T.J. Rhodes, Hayden Thompson, Adrian Gonzalez and Juan Sabin. Other members of the team, as listed on MaxPreps.com, are Kampbell Kudlac, Xzavier Wales, Jacob Bowman, Cadan Johnston, Brannan Jones, Nolan Hill, Cameron Barker, Luke Meredith, Jaiden Neimoyer, Caleb Carmack, Kobe

Huerta, Jobe Castro, Tyler Senn, Elyah Rzepecki and Ayden Rowe.

Other schools in the league entering the playoffs were Myrtle Point who travelled to Knappa and Gold Beach, who played at St. Paul.

* * *

After a successful volleyball season, which saw them play in the rst round of the state championship, the Tiger team lost to Crosshill Christian Academy to end their season.

Coached by cousins Raelyn Freitag and Haley Freitag, members of the team (according to OSAA) are Chloe Looney, Jolee Hindman, Hailey Felton, Caitlyn Michalek, Addison Stallard, Alia Ornelas, Brooke Messer, Gracie Miller, Sunny Thompson, Marlie Cormack and Brylee Butts. Seniors are Felton, Michalek and Carmack.

In other games involving local schools, Myrtle Point was defeated by Clatskanie in 2A and Coquille defeated Catlin Gable in 3A action. In 4A, Stayton defeated North Bend in rst round action.

* * * Shortly before 9 a.m. Friday, Bandon Fire was paged out to Laurel Road for a cabin, which was reported to be on re after diesel was spilled inside. The department paged out Auto Aid for a structure re (which includes Greenacres, Coquille and Myrtle Point re departments.) When Bandon Fire arrived on scene, the structure was fully engulfed, and it was necessary to contact the power company to shut off the electricity. The re marshal later arrived on scene, which was cleared at 1:44 p.m. No other details were available as to who owned the cabin.

* * * On Oct. 27, around 8 a.m., Sheriff’s Deputy Churchill and Bandon of cer Ian Mastrangelo responded to Southern Coos Hospital to the report of a woman that had been assaulted. Their investigation revealed that the woman had been taken to a residence just outside of Bandon by Mark Hendrix

and Ishta Gore. Once at the residence, the two men allegedly took away the victim’s phone, prevented her from leaving the house and assaulted her.

Both were arrested for rst-degree kidnapping, third degree assault, menacing, and harassment, and Gore was additionally charged with unlawful use of a weapon. The two were lodged in the county jail.

* * * There was no Meet and Greet scheduled for Nov. 4, but Southern Coos Hospital and Foundation will sponsor the Nov. 11 event at noon at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse on the new Senior Life Solutions program.

The story of the 1912 Seeley and Anderson train wreck will be the program for Nov. 18. The photo-rich program from Bandon’s History Museum will feature Jim Proehl telling the story.

“Keep your seats, boys. We’re gone,” said engineer Jim McDowell just before a loaded logging train plunged 70 feet off a trestle and into the gulch below. It was the rst time a loaded train tried to cross the 300-foot-long trestle over Ferry Creek east of Bandon, in November of 1912.

I understand that Gravel Point representatives will present an evening program in November, but I don’t have the date yet.

* * *

The public is invited to attend an informational presentation titled the Paci c Coast Intermodal Port Project--A Deeper Understanding, Part 2, hosted by the League of Women Voters on Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 6:30 p.m. at the Egyptian Theatre in Coos Bay. The program will include panel members with decades of experience in the container shipping industry, supply chain economics, and railroad engineering and operations. There is no charge to attend.

* * * The merger between Coast Community Health Center and Adapt Integrated Health recently became effective involving both the health center and the pharmacy. Adapt is headquartered out of Roseburg.

* * * COMING EVENTS: People are reminded that the annual Nights of 10,000 Lights Christmas event will be held Nov. 29 in Old Town Bandon. The lighted Christmas parade through Old Town will be held Saturday, Dec. 13. The Hazardous Waste Collection event at Beaver Hill transfer site is Saturday, Nov. 15, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Now is the time to clean out your garage and home and bring your unwanted household

Gerald Russell Danielson

June 3, 1934 – September 15, 2025

Gerald Russell Danielson passed away peacefully at his home with family in Coquille, Oregon, on September 15, 2025, at the age of 91. Born on June 3, 1934, in Brownsville, Oregon, to Russell and Edna (Halter) Danielson, both originally from Coos County. Gerald spent his childhood in Albany, Pendleton, Myrtle Point, and Portland before moving to Coquille in the fourth grade following the passing of his father. He graduated from Coquille High School in 1952, where he played on the football team and formed lifelong bonds with classmates.

In the fall of 1952, Gerald began studies at Oregon State University before transferring to Linfield College. His education was interrupted in 1954 when he was drafted into the U.S. Army. He trained at Fort Ord in Monterey, California, and served as a military police officer with the 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks in Oahu, Hawaii. Gerald often shared stories from his time in the service, recalling the names of fellow servicemen and officers with whom he had served.

After two years of service, Gerald returned to Linfield to complete his degree. During a night out dancing with friends, he met his future wife, Donna Halvorson. They married in the fall of 1958, shortly after his graduation. Together, they made their home in Coquille, where they shared nearly six decades of marriage until Donna’s passing in 2017. Gerald began his

career in real estate with his stepfather, Cecil Little, before becoming a probation officer for the State of Oregon in 1960.

After 26 years of dedicated service, he retired from the department. Finding extra time on his hands, he later went to work for Conrad Lumber in Coos Bay, until his second retirement.

He enjoyed camping, hunting, reading, and golfing. From 2001 to 2016, he and Donna spent their winters at their second home in Yuma, Arizona. They could often be found playing washoes; Gerald was a regular at the golf course and Donna at the swimming pool. They enjoyed traveling and attending potlucks with friends and family. In his later years, he enjoyed going on drives and road trips. He also loved teaching his grandchildren how to play dominoes and board games. He was a longtime member of the Coquille Valley Elks Lodge and the First Christian Church. While in Yuma, Gerald and Donna attended the Assembly of God Church.

Gerald was preceded in death by his wife, Donna; his parents; sister, Lila Spalding; brother-in-law, Bill King; and nephew,

Txanton Cleverley

December 03, 1989 – October 07, 2025

Txanton Cleverley died October 7, 2025 from liver disease. She was born December 3, 1989 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She graduated from North Kitsap High School in 2007 and spent a year as an exchange student in Paraguay. She attended UNLV and met Anthony Moore. They moved to North Bend, Washington where the loves of her life, sons Atlas and Asher were born. They moved to Reedsport where she owned Crabby’s Bar & Grill.

Txanton was a pirate at heart and loved puzzles, mysteries, throwing surprise parties and treasure hunts. She loved her staff and the people in Reedsport. She secretly dressed up as the Easter Bunny and left Easter eggs all around Winchester Bay. No birthday ever went unnoticed.

She was happiest with her boys, making endless

games and treasure hunts for them. They loved her, and she will be missed greatly.

She is survived by sons, Atlas Moore, 9, Asher Moore, 7, and bonus son Ayden, 16, (Anthony); parents, Matthew Cleverley (Melissa), and Jennafer Christopherson; two siblings Wylee (Jason) Rizzitello and Kynan (Brooke) Cleverley; and two nieces and two nephews. A memorial service will be December 6, 2025 at 11:00 AM at the LDS church in Reedsport.

David Spalding.

He is survived by his children: Kurt and Faye Danielson, Karen and Rick DePriest, Eric and Verissa Danielson, Todd and Paige Danielson, Megan and Tim Rosario, and Chaya Sutphin. He is also survived by his sister, Phyllis King; twelve grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren. His beloved dog, Daisy, will continue to be cared for by Verissa and Eric.

Gerald will be remembered for the love he carried for his family, his humor, stories, and his love of Jeopardy!

A service will be held at Coquille Christian Community Church in Coquille on November 29th at 11:00am, followed by a gathering at the home of Karen and Rick DePriest in Coquille. Donations may be made in Gerald’s memory to Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Jacqueline Ida Church was born May 20, 1966 to Arthur and Magdalena Mann in Lompoc, California. She was 59 years old when she went to walk with our Lord and Savior on October 24, 2025. She is survived by her husband, Greg Church; her son, Steven Church; her daughter, Serenia Church; her sister, Dolores Kirk; her sister, Mary Shaw, and her grandson, Eliot Horton. She is preceded in death by her father, Arthur Mann; her mother, Magdalena Mann; her sister, Patricia Purvine and her sister, Rosie Stella and her baby brother, Johan.

Her life was full – full of love, full of laughter, and full of memorable moments. She loved crabbing, fishing, and camping. She cherished meaningful conversations with family and friends, beach days, and quality time with her grandson, Eliot. She had so much life to live, but I guess God had other plans for her. Although this is a tragic event that’s extremely hard for us to grasp, Jackie would’ve wanted us to keep our spirits high, because that’s who she was. Her laughter and light shone brightly, casting a glow on our lives that will never dim.

Due to being underage, he was honorably discharged. He went on to serve his country between 19531956 as an Engineer Equipment Operator during the Korean War in the United States Marine Corps and rose to the rank of Sergeant.

worried about restructuring in those terms?

Gretchen Nichols:

There is always change in healthcare… In our case, we do have to right-size the organization. With the reductions in reimbursements, the changes in the economy and the payer mix here, and the volumes that we’re seeing, we have to react to that. If we don’t it has a broader impact on our survivability. So unfortunately, we do have to make those changes.

Zachary Maver (32). A search warrant for the residence was applied for and granted, and Maver was arrested without incident.

Maver was transported to the Coos County Jail where he was booked on the charges of Kidnapping II, Assault IV Domestic, Unlawful use of a Weapon, Menacing, and Strangulation.

“Police action is not indicative of guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”

It’s so hard. It is devastating to people because it’s lives and livelihood. It is a really tough thing for everybody, not only to people leaving the organization but their co-workers who have to say goodbye to their friends. And the worry and fear about ‘Is there more?’ We can’t ever promise that there won’t ever be more reductions in force. We’re doing our best to make the best decision, the most strategic decision, that is carefully planned so that we don’t have to keep doing more and more…

We’re always checking against the decisions that we’re making to be sure that they are the right decisions… We do have some culture work to reestablish here. Any time an organization goes through disruption like this, it impacts the people. We really need to build that back so that people aren’t concerned about ‘Am I going to lose my job next?’

Part of my strategy is right-sizing the organization, which we are already underway with, and then growing the organization. Getting the physicians in here that build the volumes so people can have jobs, and the people who are still here have jobs in the future. That’s what we’re trying to focus on right now…

It would be wrong for me to say, ‘This is it. We’re not going to lay-off anybody again.” And we don’t know what’s happening with the federal government and the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. Unfortunately,

if there are more Medicaid cuts, and that comes down to impact us, we have to respond… Its scary for rural hospitals, we’re all very concerned about what is going to happen to our reimbursement…

In Conclusion

We went on to discuss BAH’s legislative priorities, which have been covered in previous articles on the hospital. The hospital is hoping primarily for help from the State Treasury in refinancing their loan with Bank of Montreal, and is feeling hopeful about that possibility. In fact, Nichols’ closing comments were hopeful in general:

“I’m excited about our opportunity here. Everyday, more good things are happening and I am very hopeful. We’re engaging with people who hadn’t been engaged with us before. We are revitalizing things that had slipped away,” closed Nichols.

“One of the things that I find extremely hopeful about this community is: I have had more community partners reach out to me since taking this role. Not just to introduce themselves to me, but to offer help. That’s what is so special about the Coos Bay/North Bend area, and this whole region, is the whole community banding together to help… You don’t get that elsewhere.”

“We’ve spent a lot of our energy and time focused on the dollars, and we have to because it’s critical. But we should be spending more of our energy on investing in our employees, and delivering the finest quality care… As we’re getting stabilized with our finances, that is my principal area of focus: supporting my team here, the staff and independent providers that are part of this team, so that we can deliver the finest care to this community.”

SPORTS Henthorn wins state cross country title for Coquille

JOHN GUNTHER For The World

EUGENE — The South Coast had a big day at the cross country state championships Saturday with an individual champion and a pair of runners-up, several other podium placers and two teams that took home trophies.

The individual champion was Coquille sophomore Ella Henthorn, who overcame illness during the season to dominate the Class 3A-2A-1A girls race.

Bandon’s Beckett Pahls was second in the Class 2A-1A boys race to lead the Tigers to second as a team. Marshfield’s Jaxson Stovall was second in the Class 4A boys race and Siuslaw won the Class 3A boys title.

Henthorn won her race in 18 minutes and 14 seconds, finishing 27 seconds ahead of Lily Nichols of the combined Heppner-Ione-Condon team. Henthorn’s mom, Holli, won the state title for Coquille when she was a junior in 2004. Henthorn, who was fourth as a freshman, has been eyeing the state title since then.

“I am ecstatic,” she said.

“We’ve been talking about this all season. That was my goal.” She started pulling away from Nichols and Banks senior Sophie Schoolmeester at about the 2,000-meter mark in the 5,000-meter race.

“My plan was to leave her as fast as I can,” Henthorn said, knowing Schoolmeester has great speed in a sprint as one of the state’s top 800-meter runners.

Being able to compete at state, much less win, was a blessing for Henthorn, who came down with mononucleosis during the season. Doctors told her she probably wouldn’t be able to come back this fall.

“By the grace of God I was healed,” she said. “We all prayed about it and asked for healing and it worked. I think the reason he healed me was so I could be here today and tell everyone about it.” Though Schoolmeester finished third, she also got a big prize when Banks won the team trophy.

Bandon’s girls competed in the team race, placing 10th. Jael Legutki just missed the podium for the Tigers, placing 12th in 19:19. The other Tigers were Lilly Iverson in 50th (21:13), Safaa Dimitruk was 67th (22:17), Jada Ryder was 72nd (22:51) and Claire Briggs was 94th (24:08).

Siuslaw also was in the team race, placing sixth. Adylin Holbrook was 32nd (20:31), Pearl Jensen was 48th (21:10), Mia Goss was 51st (21:17), Abigail Jones was 53rd (21:21), Claire McNeill was 58th (21:42), Cloer Holbrook was 59th (21:46) and Afton Linton was 78th (23:06). Henthorn was among many South Coast runners who had a lot to be thankful for Saturday.

In the first race of the day, Bandon’s boys put up a fabulous performance as a team, finishing second behind favorite Knappa. Pahls led the way, pushing Knappa’s Wyatt Jacobson to the finish and coming up just short of the individual title. Jacobson finished in 16:17 and Pahls in 16:18. Bandon’s Sawyer Miller also made the podium, placing seventh (16:46).

The Tigers had all five of their scoring runners in the top 20 and scored 55 points.

Noah Brown was 16th (17:23), Jonah Brown 17th (17:23) and Trask Wehner 20th (17:27). The Tigers’ other two runners were Max Wales who was

Siuslaw’s boys captured the Class 4A team title.

Coquille sophmore Ella Hanthorn ran away from the field to win the state title in cross country on Saturday at Lane Community College.

Sawyer Miller had a top-10 finish for Bandon in the state meeting Saturday.

Photos by John Gunther for The World Addison Horning placed 10th in the Class 4A girls race for North Bend.

Beckett Pahls led Bandon to Second place in the Class 2A-1A boys race by finishing second overall.

52nd (18:41), and Jackson Simonds who was 67th (19:32).

Unfortunately for the Tigers, Knappa had three of the top five, with Rowdy Justice third and Gavin Jasper fifth, and also had their other two scoring runners in the top 20. Knappa finished with 35 points. Still, the Tigers were delighted with their performance.

“It was definitely a good day,” Pahls said. “It was great to see the guys running well.”

Pahls had hoped to stay with Jacobson, who finished in the top three each of the past two years and had the top time coming in.

“That was the goal,” he said.

“I’m especially happy with how the team did.

All the boys have been working really hard.” Miller, the team’s only senior, also got to enjoy a podium finish.

“Top-10 was definitely my goal,” he said. “I’m happy to achieve it.”

Myrtle Point’s Eli Nicholson was 31st (17:46).

In the Class 4A boys race, Stovall and Marist Cath-

olic’s Corbin Sage ran at the front all race. Sage pulled away late to beat Stovall, finishing in 15:56 to 16:00 for Stovall. “I’m OK with it,” Stovall said, adding that he ran out of gas when the runners neared the finish. “I would have liked to win, but the last few years I haven’t placed, so I can’t be upset.”

North Bend’s Angelo Pedrini finished 19th in 17:11. The Pirates finished 12th in the team race, which was won by La Grande. Marshfield’s other runners were Charlie Hatch in 47th (17:47), Donald Brice in 70th (18:30), Barrett Thomas in 94th (19:51), Liam Rasley in 96th (20:11) and Ayden McNamee in 98th (20:27).

In the Class 4A girls race, North Bend’s Addison Horning earned a spot on the podium with a 10thplace finish and teammate Ellie Massey just missed the top 10. Horning finished in 19 minutes and 34 seconds, best among runners from the Sky-Em League. Massey was 12th in 19:38 and the Bulldogs were eighth in the team race, won by La Grande. Lauren Wolfe was 36th

(21:04), Alize Page 68th (22:28) and Melina Harbolt 96th (26:57) for the Bulldogs.

In the Class 3A boys race, Siuslaw added to its collection of state titles in the most balanced team race of the day.

Henry Stone was fourth to lead the Vikings, who finished with 88 points.

Cascade Christian had 102, Neah-Kah-Nie 103 and Banks 106. “It means so much,” Stone said. “We were disappointed last year when we came up a little short. We really felt hungry for this year.”

The Vikings feature five sophomores and all seven team members also play for Siuslaw’s soccer team.

“All the guys are my best friends,” Stone said.

Stone finished in 15:52.

Marshfield’s volleyball team wasn’t able to repeat as state champions when the Pirates hosted the Class 4A state tournament over the weekend. But at least the squad earned a trophy.

Marshfield bounced back from a tough quarterfinal loss to eventual runner-up The Dalles on Friday with a pair of wins Saturday, including topping Philomath in the fourth-place match.

“I am proud of how the girl fought back today after the tough loss yesterday,” Marshfield coach Tammie Montiel said. “They responded well and were bound and determined to

end the season with two wins. They showed some grit when they could have decided to fold.”

our young girls really stepped up,” Montiel said. “A trophy at the tourney four straight years is a huge accomplishment and something for our younger athletes to strive to extend the streak.”

Coquille Hall of Fame banquet is Nov. 15

Coquille High School will add five individuals and one team to its hall of fame in a banquet that will be held Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Coquille Community Building.

This year’s inductees include 1999 graduate Mariah Grami, 2007 graduate Josh Frasier and 1967 graduate Wayne Van Burger (being honored posthumously), as well as this year’s George Johnson Booster Award recipients Renee Marineau and Harold Brice.

The team being honored is the 2006 girls cross country team coached by Kori Frasier that finished second at the state

meet and is the only Coquille girls team to receive a trophy at state.

The banquet starts at 5:30 p.m., with dinner served at 6:30, with the menu including tri-tip, chicken, salad and sides. Tickets are $20 or $150 for a table that seats eight. Grami was a volleyball standout on several Coquille teams that advanced to the state tournament and was the Far West League most valuable player and an all-state selection her senior year. She also was valedictorian of her graduating class. Josh Frasier was a standout

cross country and track and field runner for the Red Devils. He won state titles in both the 800 and 1,500 as a junior and senior and was second in the 1,500 and fourth in the 800 as a sophomore. He also was ninth in the state cross country meet his junior year. The 2006 girls cross country team placed second behind Catlin Gabel, the best finish in school history. Coquille’s success came through pack running. In the state meet, Emily Halsel was 21st, Vanessa Ferrer 22n, Brandi Crisp 25th and Francesca Frasier 26th. They all finished

within 20 seconds of each other. Coquille’s fifth runner, Delaney Wheeler, was 88th, high enough for the Red Devils to secure the trophy. Van Burger, this year’s distinguished alumni, was a standout football player for the Red Devils, representing Coquille in the annual East-West Shrine All-Star game, and went on to a long coaching career for Marshfield High School. He died in 2020.

In addition to being in Marshfield’s Hall of Fame, he also received the Lifetime Service to Wrestling Award from the Oregon Chapter of the Na-

tional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2005. He also was involved in production of “The Joy of Fishing,” which won several Emmys from the Northwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. Marineau and Brice, who both graduated from Coquille, have been among the school’s boosters for many years, present at sports events throughout the school year.

The Coquille Hall of Fame is sponsored by the Coquille Booster Club.

role in driving entrepreneurship and economic growth on Oregon’s South Coast.

Launched in 2024 through a U.S. Economic Development Administration grant and in partnership with Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC), the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend, and SCDC, the South Coast Accelerator (SCA) turned a longterm 2015 vision into a fully operating business hub in just one year. The accelerator opened in July 2024 with its rst tenant, Willis Aerial Imagery, and quickly reached full occupancy with 10 diverse businesses – from tech to wellness to professional services.

“This award celebrates the power of collaboration and the entrepreneurial momentum of our region,” said Lexie Woodward, executive director of the South Coast Development Council. “The South Coast Accelerator embodies what’s possible when local nonpro ts, colleges, municipalities, and federal partners unite behind a shared vision for innovation and business growth.”

The SCA is the rst business incuba-

tor of its kind on Oregon’s South Coast. It co-locates key resources – the Southwestern Small Business Development Center (SBDC), Oregon APEX Accelerator, CCD Business Development Corporation, Business Oregon, and SCDC – to create a one-stop hub where entrepreneurs can access advising, nancing, procurement assistance, and strategic guidance in one place.

Building a Stronger Regional Economy

In its rst year, the accelerator helped create new jobs, recruit businesses from outside the region, and strengthen the local economy through programs such as CO.STARTERS, Pitch Nights, and the Morning Grind Mastermind. These efforts give founders practical tools, mentorship, and a peer network to grow and stay rooted in the South Coast business community.

“Being part of the South Coast Accelerator has genuinely changed the course of my business and my life,” said Rafael Lopez, founder of Alpha Stretch Balance. “The support, guidance, and high-caliber resources provided here are unmatched. This is a place that believes in people, invests in their success, and stands beside them through every step of growth.”

A Model for Rural Innovation

“We’re proud to see the South Coast Accelerator honored with this statewide award,” said Tanya Rasley, entrepre-

neurship program manager for SCDC.

“It shows that rural communities can lead in innovation, collaboration, and business development.”
