Bandon artist creates wildlife sculpture in Coquille

Update to Parking Lot Homicide FROM THE COOS BAY POLICE DEPT.

BY DEAN BRICKEY

COQUILLE — Brian Vorwaller of Bandon is a cut-up. Throughout December, Vorwaller used his specialized chainsaws and other shaping tools to create a 13-foot-tall wildlife sculpture from a cedar stump in a Coquille front yard. “It was a big, impressive tree,” he said. Nature shaped the cedar for the animal ﬁgures by forking it into four trunks just above the

ground. The base of the tree was about eight feet in diameter and nearly 26 feet in circumference before Vorwaller began to work his magic. He’s done about 20 of these wildlife sculptures, some of which are on display in Bandon, where he partners with the Big Wheel General Store. “I’ve got a few stump carvings, mostly around Bandon,” he said. “I probably have, oh, 10 or 12 in Bandon. I’ve got a few in Port Orford. This one in Coquille now.”

A person is in custody following a homicide that occurred in a local business parking lot. On December 28, 2025, at approximately 1:55 p.m., the North Coos 911 Center (NC911) received reports of a shooting in the parking lot of Staples, 1995 Newmark Ave., Coos Bay. Callers were able to provide dispatch a description and license plate for the suspect vehicle, which was immediately relayed to the responding Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) officers. With that information, officers responded to the Staples shooting scene and immediately began the search for the suspect vehicle. CBPD officers arrived at the Staples parking lot around 2:00 p.m. and attempted to provide medical aid to the shooting victim, identified as 39-year-old David Orr of Coos Bay. Medical personnel also responded, but Mr. Orr was declared deceased at the scene. At 2:05 p.m., a North Bend Police Department (NBPD) officer located the suspect vehicle, parked outside a residence near 33rd St. and Vine Ave. in Coos Bay. CBPD officers arrived shortly after, detained both occupants of the vehicle, and arrested the suspected shooter. The Coos County Major Crime Team was activated to assist with the investigation, which is still ongoing. Due to this, the identity of the suspected shooter will not be released until their arraignment later this week. The suspect is currently being held at the Coos County Jail on unrelated charges. The CBPD appreciates the assistance provided by members of the Coos County Major Crime Team, including the Oregon State Police (OSP), North Bend Police Department (NBPD), South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team (SCINT), Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indian Tribal Police, Coos County District Attorney’s Office, Coos County Medical Examiner, and Coos County Parole and Probation, along with the assistance provided on scene from the Coos Bay Fire Department (CBFD) and Bay Cities Ambulance (BCA).

One of his Bandon carvings is in the parking lot of Trinity Catholic Church. He also participates in chainsaw-carving competitions and festivals. Vorwaller hasn’t named his Coquille creation yet, but he’s thinking about it. It isn’t the tallest he’s ever carved, but it’s the largest because of the four trunks. As the new year approached, the artist, who specializes in sculpting North America wildlife, put the ﬁnishing touches

on his creation at the home of Rod and Robin Summers, 342 E. Third St. They’re the third owner of the 102-year-old home and have lived there 10 years, Robin said. What began as an almost 100-foot-tall rose cedar tree growing in a corner of their front yard has been reduced — but certainly enhanced — to become a massive wildlife sculpture at See CARVER Continued on Page 16

Coos Bay City Council Hears Presentation on Eastside Housing Development BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

During the Coos Bay City Council meeting on January 6, representatives from AKS Engineering and Forestry gave a presentation on their next steps in surveying the feasibility of a housing development in Eastside, Coos Bay. AKS were awarded the project back in November, 2025 after multiple proposals were received by the council. Partnered with the Port of Coos Bay, who owns the 78.5-acre parcel of land just north of the Eastside boat ramp, the council commissioned the feasibility study thanks to a $100,000 grant from Business Oregon. As stated in meeting materials, the purpose of the study is to evaluate whether the projected costs, environmental constraints,

and capacity for infrastructure in Eastside lend themselves to residential development. AKS have conducted projects throughout the Paciﬁc Northwest for clients like ODOT and the Portland Water Bureau, and offer services in forestry and natural resource surveying, and civil engineering, in addition to construction support and land use planning. “We’ve been providing land development services to a really wide range of both public and private sector clients for the last 30 years,” explained AKS’s Zach Pelz, the Lead Land Use Planner on the project. “We have a complete suite of land development services in house, that really effectively enables us to provide these types of comprehensive and robust feasibility analyses

The 2026 melodrama will be titled “Calamity at the Coquelle Creamery” or “Udder Confusion” was written by Cindy Robnett, Diana Amling, and Gael Berhow. It originally premiered at the theatre in 1989 and again in 2001. The play is set on a dairy farm in the lovely Coquelle Valley, where the evil villain Franklin Basher, “that terrible masher!”, works his wiles against heroine Henrietta Holstein and her hero, Ferdinand Farinsworth.

Editor’s Note: The family of the victim has launched a crowdfunding campaign to help cover funeral costs for David Orr. “David was loved by his family, and by so many here in our community and this has been an incredibly difﬁcult time to all involved. He was a loving father, a beloved son and sibling and a friend to all he met,” said the family on GoFundMe. “All proceeds will be used towards David’s funeral services and anything additional will be used to help raise his daughter and make her comfortable during this time.” Contributions can be made at: www.gofundme.com/f/ support-for-david-orrs-funeral-services

Auditions for the CAST will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday, February 1 and at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, February 2. OLIO Auditions will begin on Tuesday, February 3 at 7 p.m. All auditions will be held at the theatre, located at 120 N. Adams St., Coquille.

HOLY COW! HISTORY: Snowbound in the Sierras

BY J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com Getting there, they say, is half the fun. One group of travelers would have begged to differ. Because what should have been a brief trip 74 years ago this month turned into a disaster movie-scale nightmare. Think of it as “The Perfect Storm Meets the Donner Party.” There was little reason for concern as 196 passengers and 30 crew members boarded a sleek streamliner train in Chicago bound for the San Francisco-Oakland area, 2,100 miles to the west. True, it was a long voyage, but the travelers were going in style. The City of San Francisco was the pride of the Southern Paciﬁc Railroad. In a time when airfare was still grossly expensive and federal interstate highways hadn’t been built, rail lines offered travelers a third option. The owners made this train as luxurious as possible. The City was the way to go if you had to traverse the North American continent. (Railroads often named popular passenger trains after their destination cities back then. Remember The City of New Orleans in Arlo Guthrie’s classic 1972 song of the same name?) Its many amenities made the 40-

hour trip a sheer pleasure. There were reclining seats, sleeping berths with electrical outlets, an in-train phone system, a coffee shop, barbers and manicurists, and an array of rolling eateries offering everything from burgers and fries to a formal dining room with steaks and wines served on ﬁne china and crystal atop linen tablecloths. All while clipping along at 110 mph. The ticket cost around $68 (plus an additional 20 bucks if you wanted a lower sleeping berth), about $1,086 in 2026 dollars. Not cheap, but what a way to go! And so powerful diesel locomotive #6019 rolled out of the Windy City in January 1952 — and sped right into a blizzard. Not just any blizzard, either, but a whopper. And it struck in the worst possible place at the worst possible time. Even in good weather, the stretch of track nearly 7,000 feet above sea level between Sparks, Nev., and Roseville, Calif., that old-timers derisively called “The Hill” was challenging. Advertisements boasted “no tougher stretch of railroad in the country.” The folks in the City of San Francisco were about to discover just how tough it actually was. A blizzard howled into the area, carried by 100 mph winds. Over three

days, it dumped 12 feet of snow, creating drifts as high as 25 feet in some spots. And that was the very area the City had to pass through on Sunday morning, Jan. 13. Engineer Tom Sapanor had his work cut out for him. At 11:32 a.m., he slowly started the 15-car train (with two extra diesels behind his locomotive for good measure, giving him a combined 6,750 horsepower) heading into the Danger Zone. It didn’t take long for trouble to strike. A 12-foot snowbank gave way, engulfing the City. Sapanor tried every trick in the engineer’s book. First, he reversed; nothing. He tried to inch forward gently; again, nothing. He tried alternating between the two. “That’s it,” he finally sighed. “We’re stuck.” And so began a three-day ordeal. The passengers stood it fairly well — at first. There were bridge games and sing-alongs in the lounge car featuring “California Here I Come” and (what else?) “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad.” As Sunday gave way to Monday, things took a turn for the worse. The City was heated by steam. As the water supply gave out, the 22-degree temperatures outside began creeping inside. Batteries wore out, making the

lights first dim and then flicker out. Shivering travelers ripped down curtains and wrapped them around their feet. They smashed wooden furniture and built fires. And then there was the matter of using the facilities, with pots and pans pressed into service. (The less that about that particular hardship, the better.) Given the circumstances, it was only natural that some passengers discussed the ill-fated Donner Party from a century earlier. “People talked about it quite a bit,” one later told reporters. By Monday night, the snow was above the train’s windows, making it impossible to see out. The situation was rapidly becoming dire. While all that was going on, rescuers frantically tried to reach the City. Four snowplows failed. The U.S Army, California Division of Highways, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company all sent rescue teams. In the end, volunteer skiers reached the stranded train and brought food, blankets and medical supplies. “Everybody was bundled up in coats and blankets. Nobody said anything,” one rescuer later recalled. Additional supplies from a derailed supply train eventually arrived by dogsled.

J. Mark Powell After three harrowing days, the dazed, shivering survivors were led one by one to a nearby highway and then bused to the next stretch of clear track. There, they ﬁnished their journey, eventually reaching their destination not in the lap of luxury as they had started, but in old rattletrap cars from the 1920s that the railway was planning to scrap. Everybody on board the City lived to tell the tale. Two heroic rescuers perished trying to reach the worst stranded train disaster in American history. ABOUT THE WRITER J. Mark Powell is a novelist, former TV journalist and diehard history buff. He is the author of “Witness to War: The Civil War Told by Those Living Through It”; it is available now for preorder online. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

It appears he’s had a change of heart. Not long ago, conservatives might have called this a “ﬂip ﬂop”, (remember John Kerry’s run against Bush in 2004). The actions in Venezuela are a reminder that some people can

When our president goes to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the U.A.E, he sees a different class of billionaires, he sees oil billionaires, the kinds with gold everywhere and $500 million dollar jets to donate. To obtain this type of wealth, you have to be an A.I. genius inventor or in oil. Trump is leaning into oil. He and his friends understand that playing in the

On Saturday, the Red Devils beat Rogue River 72-6, Glide 48-35, Lost River 72-12, Brookings-Harbor 72-12 and South Umpqua 58-24.

Both those events are scheduled over Friday and Saturday and most South Coast teams will be in one or the other.

SWOCC men split games during week The Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s basketball team bounced back from a tough loss to Lane during the week by beating visiting Clark 82-76 on Saturday at Prosper Hall. Connor Wilson had 20 points to lead the Lakers, while Jett Lundberg and Brighton Palmer scored 14 each and Stockton Young had 13. Lundberg and Palmer combined for 16 rebounds and each had five assists. The Penguins were led by Ari

Richardson, who scored 19. SWOCC shot just under 50 percent from the floor, including 8-for-17 from 3-point range.

Lundberg had 15 points and Palmer 10, but the majority for both came from the line, where they combined to shoot 14-for-15. As a squad,

SWOCC’s five starters were just 9-for-43 from the floor and 1-for-16 from 3-point range. The Lakers, now 2-1 in South Region play, have their bye for the first round of league play on Wednesday and are at Portland on Saturday before a busy week next week with a Monday home game against Chemeketa at 2 p.m., followed by a trip to Umpqua on Wednesday and a home game against Clackamas on Jan. 24. Umpqua is 2-0 and Clackamas,

Clark and Lane also are 2-1 early in the league season.

Morgan Cole-Hand had 16 points to lead the Lakers. Kali Hibbert added 14 and Bree Turner 10.

Mia Hicks-Oliver had 20 points for the Penguins. Earlier in the week, the Lakers fell to the No. 2-ranked Lane squad 91-48. Kaydence Apkaw had 10 points and Turner eight for the Lakers. Gretchen Orton had 24 points, including four 3-pointers for the Titans who have as one of their assistant coaches this year former Coquille standout Morgan Baird. With the two setbacks SWOCC fell to 1-2 in league play.

The World

Merkley, Scott Lead Bipartisan Legislation to Fight Opioid Overdose in Schools, Support School Access to Naloxone Washington, D.C. – Today, Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and Florida’s U.S. Senator Rick Scott teamed up to reintroduce their bipartisan School Access to Naloxone Act. The bipartisan legislation would ensure school personnel have the training and education to administer lifesaving drugs and devices for emergency treatment in cases of known or suspected opioid overdose. “As I meet with Oregonians in each of our 36 counties for town hall conversations, I hear about the need to combat the opioid crisis, especially from our younger generations who are demanding effective solutions to this epidemic,” said Merkley. “Naloxone saves lives and helping schools stock and administer it is an important part of what needs to be a multi-pronged effort to tackle opioid overdoses. I’ll keep working to deliver federal resources and support individuals and communities suffering from this crisis.” “I’m proud to join Senator Merkley on our

bipartisan School Access to Naloxone Act, to ensure schools can access the resources they need to recognize and treat opioid overdoses and save lives,” said Scott. “I’ll continue to work with my colleagues in the Senate to raise awareness of this crisis and promote access to life-saving tools and I urge Congress to pass this bill to help save lives.” The number of adolescent overdose deaths in the U.S. has risen in recent years. According to an analysis of data from the CDC, adolescent opioid fatalities—including fatalities from fentanyl—have increased from 143 cases in 2018 to 557 cases in 2023. Most opioid overdose deaths could be avoided by the timely administration of naloxone, a safe and effective opioid reversal medication. With an increase in addiction and opioid overdoses in American adolescents, it’s critical to ensure schools have the resources, training, and federal support to combat this crisis. The School Access to Naloxone Act

aims to reduce opioid overdose deaths in young Americans by encouraging the stocking of naloxone and the training of staff on its safe administration in school settings. The bipartisan bill is co-sponsored by U.S. Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Martin Heinrich (D-NM). The School Access to Naloxone Act is endorsed by the National Association of School Nurses, National Association of School Superintendents, School-Based Health Alliance, Oregon School-Based Alliance, InterMountain Education Service District, La Grande School District, and Umatilla School District. “Once again, I appreciate Senator Merkley’s consistent effort to improve the lives of Oregonians. Due to the high rate of opium use, schools need support, training and resources to prepare a response to this crisis,” said Mark Mulvihill, Superintendent, InterMountain Education Service District. “It’s important for Oregon Schools to have access

to resources such as Naloxone (Narcan). Opioid overdose prevention is important for staff and student safety and having an intervention plan that allows for Narcan in schools can save lives. Schools need to be prepared to respond to emergencies and provide immediate assistance when necessary. We have staff trained in CPR, first aid, as well as many other school emergencies, we need to be prepared to respond. We need to ensure we have resources to provide a timely response and encourage responsible action for our staff. Making Naloxone (Narcan) available in schools will provide opportunities for educators and staff members to be educated about the dangers of opioids, fentanyl and how the body responds to overdoses. This education promotes greater awareness to staff, students and families and will help safeguard the health and wellbeing of our students and most importantly save lives,” said George Men-

doza, Superintendent, La Grande School District. “Schools are often community hubs. No community is immune from opioid concerns and having access to life saving medications in the event of an overdose is a

valuable tool. I hope we never need to use Naloxone in a school facility, but am thankful to have access should the need arise,” said Heidi Sipe, Superintendent, Umatilla School District.

As I See It It will be 45 years ago next month, according to an article in the Feb. 11, 1981, Western World, that Bandon’s Presbyterian Church celebrated its 90th anniversary with a history program. “Following the monthly potluck on Feb. 5, The Rev. Elwyn Tesche presented a program on the history of the church. The First Presbyterian Church was organized on Feb. 8, 1891, and was incorporated in June of that year. The Rev. Eneas McLean, founding minister, held the first services in his home. The first church was built very near the present site. The first building (first photo) was destroyed by fire in April 1911, and for about two years services were held in the old school house. A new structure was built on Franklin in 1913. That church building was destroyed in the 1936 fire. In 1938 work began on the present structure. Among the men paid to do the construction was Lowell (Chili) Giles. He told the group stories of that job during the depression. He believed his pay to be around 50 cents an hour. The program concluded with each member telling a brief story of when they joined the church. “Rev. Tesche welcomed Leila Goddard, the oldest living member of the congregation. Leila came to Bandon in 1908, was married in 1910 and joined the church in 1915. She will celebrate her 90th birthday this year. Other members honored included Alta Corrie, Ola Mae Heaton, Marge Cook, Rupert Boak and Lowell Giles.” The second story, from the June 29, 1972, Western World, features “a Seattle artist George Kosanovic who was giving instructions to Mary Hedges, wife of Coos Bay attorney William H. Hedges, as a group of area artists gathered to paint the lighthouse from the south jetty (second photo). Kosanovic was a guest at the Hedge’s cottage on the jetty. He recently had a display of watercolors at the Coos Art Museum.” The third photo was taken

in November of 1958 as the highway department seeded mulch onto property along the highway, just up from what we know today as Old Town. The area later became the site of Bandon’s new city hall, which opened in 1970 and still serves the city 55 years later.

Tom McClain, 72, is a 1975 graduate of Bandon High School, and has served as police chief in Willard, Mo., for many years. Despite his serious health diagnosis, he is resolved to continue to serve. He received a bachelors degree in pastorate studies from Mission University in 1977. He has two sisters, Cindy of Springfield and Sherry of Myrtle Point. His brother Mike died some years ago. They were the siblings of Lois and Dale McClain. A Go Fund Me account has been set up for Tom to help defray his health expenses. * * * One person is dead following a call for help Dec. 27th regarding a white Dodge Ram pulling a cargo trailer that was off the side of Airport Road, Sixes, with the engine running for an hour and a half. Dispatch notified the Sixes River Fire Department and volunteer Ashley Moore arrived first on the scene. She called 9-1-1 to report two unresponsive individuals in the vehicle. In spite of attempts to revive them by Moore and others, 47-year-old Anthony Carlson of Brookings was pronounced dead at 12:55 p.m., and the passenger, Sandra Lewis, 50, Brookings, was transported

to Southern Coos Hospital in Bandon and then sent on to River Bend in Springfield. “Upon a visual search of Carlson’s truck, drug items were seized by the Curry County Sheriff ’s Office and later tested positive for meth and fentanyl,” said a press release from Sheriff John Ward. Cal Ore Life Flight ambulance and Langlois Fire personnel assisted. *

King Tides and heavy rains accounted for flooding throughout Coos County, especially in downtown Coos Bay and rural areas around Coos Bay both Saturday and Sunday. One man said he had never seen the water as high at the dock in Charleston as it was that weekend. Sunday evening, ODOT issued a warning, urging people to watch for high water over highways, including 101 and 42, and were told to expect delays, lane closures and possibly full road closures. They urged people not to drive through floodwaters, and warned about possible risk of slides and rock falls. It was clear from the Facebook posts that many businesses along the waterfront in Coos Bay had water in their buildings, and sustained various degrees of damage. * * * People are reminded of the

Beyond surveyors and engineers, the team includes economists and construction cost experts, along with environmental specialists and geotechnical engineers. The survey process will begin with data collection that inventories the development constraints presented on the parcel. The City had conducted surveys for this property as part of the Eastside Development Strategy back in 1996 and 2000, which revealed that there are constraints which would require improving the ground conditions before development could occur. That strategy outlined a

Pam were later blessed with three children. After studying accounting, he began working for PERS as a clerk in 1982. By the time of his retirement in 2017, he was Manager of Financial Reporting. After retirement, Rick and Pam enjoyed traveling, including 2 road trips across the United States, an Alaskan cruise, and numerous trips up and down the NW coast. Rick was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in October 2025. He returned home under hospice care and passed away less than a month later. He

approached his diagnosis with his typical pragmatism: when the doctor told him the leukemia would likely do him in before the diabetes became a concern, he asked for an apple fritter. Rick is survived by his wife of 47 years, Pamela, and children Sarah Vindell (Marco), Elizabeth “Betsy” Miller (Jon), Charles “Chuck” Howitt-Lease (Adam), and sister, Christi Howitt.

potential 400-500 home development on the parcel. “Back in ’96, the Port of Coos Bay came to the City and asked us to change the zoning from industrial to residential. That’s what we did, because they had a plan on how to move forward on this. Ever since, this thing has just kind of stalled and sat there,” explained Mayor Joe Benetti. “We have a housing problem, as we all know… this is another possible solution.” Should the costs that those environmental and geotechnical constraints would demand be too great to support private real estate development, Pelz suggested that AKS would likely recommend that the City pivot to a different kind of project, one that would require less land development, like parks

and recreation areas. Pelz was realistic about expectations for the site, stating that limitations to sewage and transportation infrastructures along with the make-up of the land itself make that kind of largescale real estate development would be difﬁcult. Mayor Bennetti suggested that they would conduct lobbying efforts to try and bring in funds for infrastructure improvements as necessary. AKS is hoping to present their ﬁnal report to the City by mid-April, following a full process that includes meetings with stakeholders and open houses with the community. Those meetings will allow community members to hear what AKS’s preliminary data is saying, and make their own suggestions as to what the

land should be used for. The World will give notice for those open houses, should our readership like to participate. “We do plan to involve a diverse stakeholder audience, including members of the tribes… One of the highlights that stood out in our proposal is that we’re really focusing on making sure that public feedback informs the decisions going forward,” said Pelz following questions on public input. “So, there will be an appendix in our report, and

as part of every memo that moves us into each subsequent stage of work, that outlines how that public input has helped to shape the recommendations from the project management team.” Following this presentation, Greg Drobot, one of the leaders of the Timber Cove project, gave a short update on their progress. He stated that the timeline is pro-

gressing as expected, and is hoping that by February they will be permitted and ready to build the ﬁrst 30 homes for purchase.

East Third and Collier streets. Robin said two large limbs came out of the tree in a storm last February, causing about $16,000 damage to their two trucks parked in front of the garage. Then during an autumn storm, she said, two more large limbs came out of the giant cedar. “When the last two limbs fell, we decided to have Blue Sky Tree Service remove it,” she said. “Jim, owner of Blue Sky, recommended we call a local carver instead of having a hole in our yard.”

Blue Sky removed the foliage in October, but because the tree was so tall and had four trunks, HEMR Industrial Contractors brought a crane in November to remove each cut log safely. Enter Vorwaller. “He was out the next day,” Robin said, adding that Vorwaller removed the excess logs for future carvings. The artist immediately began creating his sculpture. It features a Papa Bear with a distinctive grizzly bear lip, which is one of his trademarks. “Mostly on the grumpier ones,” he said. “I don’t do it on all of them.” Nearby on a second

After Blue Sky Tree Service removed the foliage and HEMR Industrial Contractors cut and safely lowered logs to the ground, the four trunks were exposed. This is what Brian Vorwaller began with in early December.

Mama Bear also clings to a salmon in her paws and other salmon swim around the sculpture’s base. On the rear of the trunk on which the eagle perches is another bald eagle, soaring with wings outstretched. After shaping the bear and eagle figures, Vorwaller used smaller implements to add detail, refining the style of the fur and feathers. “I’ll put kind of a swirl in the fur and on the chest a little bit,” he said.

I would carve her a bear or something. And that’s where it started. I did try to carve her a bear and it almost looked like one. And so then I did really try and it kind of looked like one.” And the rest, as they say, is history. The Summerses hope to install a fence around their yard to help protect their new wooden monolith and their other metal, concrete and neon sculptures.

Vorwaller charges for his work by the day. “Generally, I go by just all the time and energy into it,” he said. “I usually go by a daily rate of about, $600-$650, depending if it’s out of town or not.” Vorwaller has been creating chainsaw art for about 15 years, since he acquired his first chainsaw. “I was always into art and drawing when I was a kid. I’m originally from Utah,” he said. But about 15 years ago, he and his wife, Zada, got a wood-burning stove, so he had to cut firewood. “It was getting late in the season and I told my wife if she let me get a chainsaw to chop it up that

The massive sculpture in the corner of their front yard isn’t the first Vorwaller has done for them. They’ve also a single bear on their front porch, which the couple acquired from him a few years ago.

Feds award Oregon $197 million for rural health care as state grapples with billions in cuts By ALEX BAUMHARDT

Oregon Capital Chronicle

The $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program was tucked into the same bill that cuts roughly $1 trillion from the federal Medicaid program over the next decade Oregon will receive more than $197 million to invest in rural health care projects in 2026, federal health officials announced shortly before the new year. It’s slightly less than the $200 million the Oregon Health Authority requested from the new Rural Health Transformation Program run by the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. And it’s significantly less than the average $400 million per year that Oregon’s rural communities are expected to lose in federal health care funding during the next decade under changes to Medicaid eligibility congressional Republicans passed last summer. “While this much-need-

ed boost can’t make up for the substantial federal funding cuts we anticipate in the coming years, OHA is committed to using this opportunity to support as many promising and sustainable rural health solutions as possible,” the state health agency’s policy and analytics director, Clare Pierce-Wrobel, said in a statement. Congressional Republicans included the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program in a July megalaw that’s slated to cut Medicaid spending by nearly $1 trillion over the next decade to partially offset tax cuts. Rural communities across the U.S. are expected to lose about $137 billion in Medicaid funding during the next decade, including more than $4 billion in rural Oregon, according to an analysis of Medicaid data by the nonprofit KFF. Oregon’s application for funding had bipartisan support, though Democratic lawmakers criticized the Rural Health Transformation Program as a “bandaid for a bullet hole,” according to statements from U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley and U.S. Rep. Andrea Salinas. U.S. Rep. Maxine Dexter, also an Oregon Democrat, said it was “like throwing someone a life jacket after sinking their ship.” Oregon’s appeal State health officials

requested $200 million per year for five years, for about $1 billion total from the $50 billion program through 2031. Given that their first year award is less than expected, the agency will scale down its original proposal to fit its given budget, officials said in a news release. The state will distribute money to local governments and organizations for projects that provide preventative care to more people, boost the number of health care workers in rural communities and improve technology and data infrastructure in rural hospitals and clinics, according to the agency’s application materials. About one-third of Oregonians live in rural communities, defined as living at least 10 from a population center of 40,000 or more. All but two of Oregon’s 36 counties have rural areas, and 10 Oregon counties are designated “frontier” counties with an average of six or fewer people per square mile. Roughly $20 million of the award is slated to go to health care projects undertaken by the nine federally recognized tribes in Oregon. Bipartisan-ish support Oregon’s application received bipartisan support from the state’s Congressional delegation, though a letter from Democratic delegates struck a different tenor than one from the

state’s lone Republican, U.S. Rep. Cliff Bentz. Bentz’s vast 2nd Congressional District in southern and eastern Oregon is predominantly rural and includes all 10 frontier counties. In a Dec. 11 letter of support, Bentz thanked the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and Administrator Mehmet Oz for their “unwavering commitment to strengthening America’s health care system.” “I also want to recognize President Trump’s Administration and CMS for bringing real accountability and urgency back to rural health care,” Bentz continued. “Your leadership has given rural communities confidence that Washington is finally

paying attention and acting.” Bentz’s district is likely to be among the most impacted by Medicaid cuts. About 1 in 3 Oregonians relies on Medicaid for their health insurance, but the rate is higher in the 20 counties Bentz represents. In Malheur, Klamath, Josephine and Jefferson counties, more than 40% of residents rely on Medicaid, according to the Oregon Health Authority. Democrats in their letter of support for Oregon’s application on Dec. 29 wrote that the funding is an attempt to make up for the harms of Republican cuts to the Medicaid program, and its disproportionate impact on rural communities. “While the expected awards from the Rural Health Transformation Fund will not make up for catastrophic Medicaid cuts Trumpcare is implementing, we believe that Oregonians deserve their fair share of this funding,” they wrote. Koray Rosati, a spokesperson for Rep. Janelle Bynum, a Democrat representing the state’s 5th congressional district, said Bynum signed on because the congresswoman wants to protect rural hospitals

and healthcare, but that the funding is a bandaid for health care cuts rural communities will experience in the next decade. “Let’s be clear here, the reason this funding is needed at all is because Rep. Bentz and President Trump, who Rep. Bentz fawns over in his letter, made massive cuts to rural healthcare and jacked up healthcare costs for Oregonians with their ‘trash bill,’ H.R. 1.,” Rosati said in an email. “They sold our rural communities out and now they want credit for offering pennies in return. Rep. Bynum isn’t falling for that.” https://oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/01/05/ feds-award-oregon-197million-for-rural-healthcare-as-state-grappleswith-billions-in-cuts/ Oregon Capital Chronicle is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.
