According to Hoyle’s office, these funds will be used to support the triplicate track and run-around section on the North Spit in preparation for increased cargo movement as the project develops.

The project, which has not been without its detractors, will be right across the federal navigation channel from the Hollering Place in Empire. The port is still in the pre-permitting stage and has yet to begin the necessary impact studies through the Army Corp of Engineers and Environmental Protection Agency.

Estimates for the cost of the entire project have ranged from 2.4 to 4.4 billion dollars, with the construction of the terminal itself contracted to Kansas City-based commercial developers NorthPoint.

The containers unloaded from the supermax shipping vessels at the port will be loaded directly onto train cars which will make the journey from the North Spit to the rail yard in Eugene, before heading to the Midwest and beyond. It has been estimated that improvements to the line as a whole, including an expansion of that Eugene yard, could cost over a billion dollars.

“I want to thank Secretary Duffy and MARAD for recognizing the importance of this project,” said Hoyle. “This award reflects and builds on the tens of millions we’ve already secured for it, and reflects a serious investment in Coos Bay.

Commentary North Bend citizens should Vote no on Measure 6-229!

By John Briggs

Former North Bend Mayor

The true motivation for Ballot Measure 6-229 proposing amendments to the City Charter is found in the video of the July 7, 2025 work session during discussion of the process of removing a City councilor by vote of the City Council after a public hearing. The City states that this is needed to allow for easy removal of a councilor.

This amendment resulted from the censure of a former councilor at a cost to the City well in excess of $75,000. Beginning at minute 31:00 of the work session, the City administrator told the council that the “most important thing” was to find a way to remove a councilor, as the Council had not been able to protect him when his civil rights were being violated. He was referring to a long-time feud with a City councilor who repeatedly questioned his actions relative to Council Rules, the City Charter and state law.

He further states that other city models aren’t working. The League of Oregon Cities Ninth Model Charter includes such a provision on Page 12. However, footnote 64 makes it quite clear that a city should consult legal counsel before removing a council member from office for violating the model provision, citing prior legal decisions.

This amendment was briefly mentioned during the August 6, 2025 charter review meeting starting at 27:31. This is the only discussion I found during all three committee meetings.

During that discussion, the City attorney stated he had brought this matter to a group of lawyers at a conference and that the group could not come up with a good answer.

This is concerning because legal battles are based on unclear parameters. As I recall, the councilor’s attorney during the censure hearing told the Council that if the Council voted to remove the censured councilor, there would be a suit filed and that the City would incur extensive legal fees with a very high probability that the City would be liable for payment of the councilor’s fee as well. The League of Oregon Cities appears to agree with the councilor’s attorney.

There have also been other questions and concerns arising from the process used to create these changes. I was asked to comment on these issues as well as similarities to the creation of the current City Charter (with amendments).

The 2000 Charter committee was formed by advertising in the local media. That process created a committee of twelve public members, one of whom was a licensed municipal attorney. The list of people involved can be accessed in the City website under Municipal Code. (click on the opened book titled City Charter). The council was not invited to propose members.

One councilor, Charles Graham, was appointed to act as the council’s liaison.

The 2000 committee held numerous meetings to discuss the charter; most of the committee attended all the meetings.

I observed the process to get an understanding of how the citizens felt about their charter and, as I recall, other councilors were also present but not participating. The current committee was appointed at the request of the City administrator by nominations from the present councilors in accordance with Section 2.04.100 of the Council Rules adopted

by Ordinance 2052.

Five names were submitted by councilors and approved by Resolution 3369 on July 22, 2025.

Advertising for interested citizens did not occur. One of the appointed citizens was not present at any of the meetings, either in person or online.

Two members of Council were appointed for this ‘Citizen Charter Review Committee’! There is no provision in the Council Rules for a Council/ Lay-Committee! Section 2.04.100 Subsection 13(a) allows the mayor to appoint a council member AND AN ALTERNATE to act as liaison to a lay-committee.

The liaison’s duties are stated in 2.04.100(13)(d) as follows: (A) When serving as a liaison to a lay committee, council members will not attempt to lobby or influence the lay committee on any item under consideration.

(B) Limit their role to explaining the council’s position or expectation of the lay-committee and (C) Not vote at the lay-committee’s meeting at any time.

You will see numerous instances of lobbying and voting by the two councilors by reviewing the videos of the three meetings on www.YouTube.com.

(Search for North Bend OR Charter Review Committee Meetings; the meeting videos are not posted on the City website.)

The current committee held three meetings on August 6 (59 minutes), September 10 (44 minutes), and December 4 (31 minutes) of 2025. The Charter to a city is similar to the Constitution of the United States.

After watching the three charter committee videos, I found myself very confused; transparency is the issue.

First, it was quite unclear why it was stated there were 14 or 15 items to be discussed yet only 5 items are listed in the Notice of Measure Election filed with the county. What happened to the other items? I saw no discussion or voting on these other 9 or 10 items.

Second, why were the videos shown only on YouTube and not included on the city’s website?

Third, a packet with side-by-side comparisons was made available to the committee but not posted to the city website.

Fourth, why were no written minutes provided as this would have given context to the videos?

Not necessarily verbatim, but at least the arguments ‘For’ and ‘Against’ the items.

Fifth, why were two councilors allowed to be appointed to the committee which is not in conformance with Section 2.04.100 of the Council Rules?

Sixth, one lay committee member indicated her lack of understanding

of parts of the document and requested what she should do. She was told that any questions should be addressed by email to the city administrator or recorder and that answers would be provided by the administration unless the questions needed to be forwarded to the City attorney for clarification.

This occurred toward the end of the fifty-third minute of the August 6, 2025 meeting.

Whether that person sent an email or received a reply is unknown. If so, we were never informed of any such actions – TRANSPARENCY? The 2000 committee was provided with answers to such questions when asked or at the next meeting. One of the lay participants was a practicing municipal attorney who had the advantage of speaking with the city attorney at every meeting.

SOME COMMENTS REGARDING THE OTHER FOUR PROPOSED CHANGES Extending the Mayor’s term of office from two to four years: The City claims that the change will get the election cycle of the mayor in sync with the other council members’ terms. One person spoke of very few cities having more than two years and most of those were the larger cities. Approximately 70 percent of Oregon’s 241 cities have a two-year term for Mayor.

I am aware of at least five (and probably more) former City councilors who are opposed to a four-year term. I do not understand how changing to four years creates a syncing as compared to two years. What we would lose is another chance to vote for mayor! What we could gain is a group of four councilors every four years with total control – NOT a good situation.

If there is a major dissatisfaction with the council, a 2-year period for mayor gives us voters a chance to change the majority of the Council at each and every election.

There was a comment from the City administrator that the mayor would not have to bear the expense of running for office every two years.

Our current mayor has been challenged in three election cycles. Our former mayor was only challenged in three out of ten cycles! Perhaps this indicates continuing dissatBRIGGS Continued on Page 5

Commentary

Food for thought: May Ballot Measure for changes to North Bend’s City Charter

By Jenny Jones

North Bend City Councilor

Ballot measures are limited in amount of text and can only be YES/NO. So, I hope every North Bend voter spends time reviewing as they consider in Resolution 3377’s charter changes.

While I don’t speak for the council or the city, I was a part of the team putting it forward. I wasn’t on the committee tasked with making the recommendations, but, as it happens, I support all the changes.

For the curious, I’ve included several links at end so that you can review and decide for yourself.

The proposed changes come from the League of Oregon Cities 2025 Model Charter (link below). Like other states, LOC maintains a model charter as it compiles and analyzes member city information, goes through litigation on behalf of member cities and influences state legal matters that member cities’ have prioritized as a collective.

Not all standardization is needed, in my opinion, but the few changes being proposed for North Bend are useful - North Bend has not engaged in a charter review for 20 years or more, I believe.

To get to the ballot measure, council followed charter code and state law. Each step of the way, a qualified Oregon law team reviewed. Council authorized a committee to review LOC’s analysis of our charter, as well as discuss additional recommendations if anyone had them. That committee met several times. The measure contains only updates that committee voted to include by a majority.

I’ve ordered my opinions here on what concerns I’ve heard from neighbors,

not on how the changes appear on the ballot itself: Updating the process of removing a city councilor by a vote of the City Council after a public hearing: Many have come forward to say that removal should only be allowed in recall elections. It seems like that comes from a presumption that council can kick anyone off if enough “don’t like” the target person.

I can see why that feels alarming. I feel alarmed thinking of that idea. But, that’s not how I read the change.

Here’s a clip from the proposal (link below, so you can verify for yourself): “…no council member may actually coerce or attempt to coerce the manager or a candidate for the office of manager in the appointment or removal of any city employee, or in administrative decisions regarding city property or contracts. A violation of this prohibition is grounds for removal from office by a majority of the council after a public hearing…”

This very change is also mentioned in the 1st paragraph of the 2025 Model Charter which is telling to me (also, link below).

To me, how council manages itself should have some checks and balances I believe this new language introduces fairly for both “sides”. Councilors and city staffers always have the court system if they feel wronged.

Without anything at all in the charter, serious violations of our oath like interfering with city contracts is left to the actual and spendy court system.

legal fees around censuring a council member in 2024 -- money we could have used elsewhere. That pile most likely would have been much smaller had we a clear path on our charter.

Aside from that and, in my opinion, more serious, opportunities can be pulled back or vanish because North Bend doesn’t abide by its contracts. This can be the result when one council member acts outside our role and our oath. I think this closes this important gap in our charter.

Mayoral term to 4 years: Some believe that two-year terms keep the mayor closer to public views. I understand that.

However, council decisions are rarely paths that can be completed in two years, much less during the two years of a term. I would prefer elected officials stick to the work that they are elected to do, rather than endless campaigning and using term change-overs as a reason this or that didn’t get completed.

Updating title of City Administrator to City Manager: Our city charter requires a professional manager to run the city, a CEO really. Other charters authorize the mayor to be the CEO as well as council top spot. When we hire the next top city staffer, should we hire someone prepared to be a VP (i.e.

City Administrator) or a CEO (i.e. City Manager)?

If we don’t change the title, we will get candidates with the wrong expectations for what the job entails.

Droemer wins PGA Professional Championship at Bandon Dunes JOHN GUNTHER For The World

BANDON — A year ago, Jesse Droemer was runner-up in the PGA Professional Championship when it was held in Florida.

Last Wednesday, he was crowned champion in the tournament for teaching and club professionals from across the country, taking the title by one stroke at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

Droemer, who is from Houston, edged Ben Kern of South Bloomfield, Ohio. Droemer shot a 2-under 70 to finish the four rounds of the tournament at 4-under par.

The brisk afternoon winds Wednesday weren’t quite as taxing on the players as they had been a day earlier, when a large number of players shot 80 or higher. On the final day, 16 players shot rounds under par on the Bandon Dunes layout.

The best of those was 2025 champion Tyler Collet of Vero Beach, Fla., who followed his 81 in the heavy winds Tuesday with a 5-under 67 in the morning and early afternoon Wednesday that put him in contention. That included a big improvement on the par-4 eighth hole where he holed out from the fairway for eagle after carding a bogey a day earlier.

Unlike Tuesday, though, the scores for the late starters did not soar as they had a day earlier and Collet finished in a tie with three others for fourth place. Michael Kartrude of Royal Palm Beach, Fla., was third at 2-under.

Droemer, who was playing in the penultimate group, moved to the top of the leaderboard with birdies on the seventh, ninth and 10th holes. When he had a twoputt birdie on the par-5 13th hole, he was 5-under and three shots in front of the field.

But in the final group, Kern also birdied 13 and then hit his

approach close on 14 for another birdie. When Droemer had a three-putt bogey on the tough 15th hole, Kern had moved into a tie for first.

Kern nearly moved in front on No. 16, but his birdie putt lipped out.

Then came the pivotal 17th hole.

Droemer hit his approach close, but as with a few other putts, his birdie effort slipped by the hole.

A few minutes later, Kern’s approach bounced through the green and down a hill toward the canyon and creek that separates Bandon Dunes from the resort’s Bandon Preserve par-3 course.

Kern’s ball stopped before it got into the hazard, but his chip came up well short of the cup and he missed the par putt, dropping a shot behind.

Both Droemer and Kern recorded pars on the par-5 18th hole and Droemer was champion.

Droemer said it was an honor to join the long list of winners of the Walter Hagen Cup when he received the trophy from John Lindert, past president of the PGA. And he was quick to give a shout out to Bandon Dunes caddie Carl Everts, who was on his bag for the tournament.

“I couldn’t have done it without you,” he said to Everts, who was in the crowd watching the trophy presentation.

Droemer later said Everts saved him countless shots with reads on some of the subtle breaks on the greens.

Everts praised the play of Droemer.

“We played incredible in the wind,” Everts said. “He hit all the shots you need to. He made shot after shot, which is kind of cool.”

Everts joined the ranks of Bandon Dunes caddies who have

Jesse Droemer and his Bandon Dunes caddie Carl Everts study the line of his birdie putt on the 18th hole in the final round of the PGA Professional Championship.

helped golfers win big tournaments, including all but two of the United States Golf Association events the resort has hosted.

“I said local caddies win these things,” Everts said.

The golfers played Bandon Dunes and Pacific Dunes the first two days of the tournament before the final two days were on Bandon Dunes. In all, 312 professionals from across the country started the tournament, all having advanced at one of 41 different qualifiers, before the field was cut to the top 90 and ties after two rounds and the top 70 and ties for the final round.

While Droemer won the title, the other battle was for the 20 spots in the upcoming PGA Championship in Pennsylvania.

As it turned out, no playoff was needed for those spots, with 20 players at 2-over or better for the week.

For a while, it looked like Austin Hurt of Bainbridge Island, Wash., was in danger of missing the PGA Championship. Hurt, who led after each of the first three days following his opening-day 64 at Bandon Dunes, had three bogeys and a double-bogey in the first five holes Wednesday. But in another

roller-coaster day that included just six pars (one more than his round Tuesday), Hurt had three late birdies to finish in the tie for fourth at 1-under.

Of the 20 players to make it into the PGA Championship, eight had Bandon Dunes loopers.

The other local caddies included David Tatge, who was carrying for Garrett Sapp, who tied for fourth; Tony Shuster, Jeff Wells, Ricky Pruitt and Donny Hiebing who caddied for golfers tying for 10th — past champion Michael Block, Ryan Lenahan, Jared Jones and Chris Gabriele, respectively — and Dave Friedland and Rigel Hahn, who caddied for Ryan Vermeer and Timothy Wiseman who tied for 18th. Another 23 local loopers helped their players make it to the tournament’s final round Wednesday.

Three of the eight women in the tournament had made it to the final round. Sabrina Bonanno of Sammamish, Wash., was best among them, finishing in a tie for 34th. Allie Knight of Knoxville, Tenn., finished in a tie for 62nd and Sandra Changkija of Daytona Beach, Fla., finished tied for 69th.

Bandon Dunes has a long

history of hosting United States Golf Association championships, nine different national championships to date, all for amateur golfers. Next up is the Walker Cup in September of 2028.

The PGA Professional Championship was the resort’s first time hosting an event just for professionals.

Chris Keiser, the son of Bandon Dunes founder Mike Keiser, said when considering hosting the event, a big factor was the important role of PGA golf pros in the history of Bandon Dunes.

“They were the bell cows,” Keiser said, explaining that they helped pass the word on to their club members about how special the resort is as a golf destination.

Keiser was pleased with the resort’s first tournament specifically for pros.

“It was great,” he said.

That also was the assessment of Bandon Dunes General Manager Jeff Simonds.

“I think it’s fantastic,” Simonds said. “From a staging perspective, we wanted to make sure we created an incredible championship for industry representatives. I think our team delivered on that. The golf courses were incredible.”

Droemer said as much to Keiser and Simonds as they congratulated him for his win.

“It’s an unbelievable property — golf heaven,” he said of the resort.

Droemer had played in the 2011 U.S. Amateur Public Links Championship, which used the resort’s Bandon Trails and Old Macdonald courses, and fell in love with the Bandon Dunes layout during this tournament.

“It’s such a sophisticated golf course,” he said. “It rewards great shots.”

Droemer had just enough of those to be champion Wednesday.

Petrey, Henthorn set records at Coos County Meet JOHN GUNTHER For The World

Coos County’s top track and field athletes put up several big marks in the 118th Coos County Track Meet on Friday at Marshfield High School.

The event is the oldest annual high school meet in the state and though the numbers of athletes were lower than most past years, there were several standout performances.

Marley Petrey of Bandon and Ella Henthron of Coquille each one two events and broke a meet record.

Several other athletes won multiple events and all the county’s six schools had at least one champion but North Bend.

Marshfield’s boys and Coquille’s girls topped the team standings at the end of the night.

Petrey, Bandon’s multi-talented senior and multi-time state champion, set a new record by the slimmest of margins in the 100 meters, where her time of 12.51 seconds edged the old mark of 12.52 by Marshfield’s Madelyn Metzler in 2015. Petrey also ran the 400, not one of her typical events, and broke Bandon’s school record with her time of 58.13. She now holds school records in the 100, 400, 300 hurdles, long jump and triple jump and is part of the school’s top 4x100 relay team.

Henthorn, meanwhile, knocked her mom Holli from the

top spot in the 3,000 meters with her time of 10 minutes and 3.67 seconds. Holli had set the old record of 10:08.7 back in 2005.

Henthorn also won the 1,500 in 4:52.11 and helped three other runners to fast times in both races.

North Bend’s Addison Horning was runner up in both races with new bests of 4:50.66 in the 1,500 and 10:51.43 in the 3,000.

North Bend’s Ellie Massie had season bests while finishing third in the 1,500 (4:58.86) and fourth in the 3,000 (11:04.79). Bandon’s Jael Legutki was fourth in the 1,500 (5:03.78) and third in the 3,000 with a new best (10:53.14).

Petrey and Henthorn were bypassed for outstanding runner by the coaches in favor of Marshfield hurdler Rylee McNally who won the 100 hurdles in 16.90 and the 300 hurdles in 47.56, both new bests, and was part of both winning relays. She teamed with Claire Roberts, Annhelena Vancannon and Kindall Wyatt to win the 4x100 in 51.74 and with Wyatt, Bella Cox and Brooklyn Pederson to win the 4x400 in 4:17.94.

The outstanding jumper for the girls was Coquille’s Bristol Layton, who won both the long jump (15-10) and triple jump (32-6 ¼).

The outstanding thrower was Danika Bushnell of Powers, who out-dueled Bandon’s Caitlyn Michalek in a battle of state champions in the javelin with a

winning throw of 123-0. Michalek threw 119-1.

Bushnell also finished second to Myrtle Point’s Jayme Padgett in the shot put, with Padgett throwing 33-9 and Bushnell 333. Marshfield’s Sierra Sauers was just behind at 33-1 and won the discus with a throw of 110-0 that was better than Padgett’s 105-2.

Kendra Bushnell of Powers cleared a new best 10 feet, 6 inches to win the pole vault and Coquille’s Ada Millet cleared 10 feet. Myrtle Point’s Delaney La Franchi won the high jump by clearing 4-10 and Bandon’s Safaa Dimitruk was winner of the 800 (2:35.61) while teammate Claire Briggs won the 200 (27.14).

For the boys, Marshfield’s Carter McGriff was outstanding runner after winning the 100 in a personal best 11.20 and the 200 in a season-best 22.52.

McGriff also was part of both winning relays, teaming with Christian Baugh, Chandler Wyatt and Jake Day to win the 4x100 in 43.82 and Day, Wyatt and Nicoya Pruess to win the 4x400 in 3:26.09.

Marshfield’s Jaxson Stovall had strong winning times in both the 1,500 (4:05.25) and 3,000 (8:59.53).

Bandon’s Noah Brown also was a double-winner, taking the 800 (2:00.77) and pole vault (13-6).

Day won the 400 for the Pirates in a personal best 50.92

and Baugh won the 300 hurdles in 42.06.

Myrtle Point’s Wyatt Richards was named outstanding thrower after taking the javelin (1612) and finishing second in the discus (136-10) behind Marshfield’s Glen Crook (138-4). Cole Lehnherr of Powers won the shot put (45-6).

Myrtle Point also had the outstanding boys jumper, Brody Ligons, who won the long jump by soaring 20-1. The other jumps winners were Myrtle Point’s Deven Lister in the high jump (510) and Bandon’s Tyler Senn in

the triple jump (38-6). Bandon’s Reggie Turner won the 110 hurdles with a new best 16.99. He also was second to Baugh in the 300 hurdles (44.51) while Baugh was second in the shorter race (17.89) both with personal bests.

Marshfield’s boys amassed 176 points while Bandon was second (123), followed by Myrtle Point (98), North Bend (44), Powers (31) and Coquille (29).

For the girls, Coquille had 133.5 points, followed by Marshfield (121), Bandon (112.5), North Bend (54), Powers (49) and Myrtle Point (35).

High School Recap: Cruisers affirm first-place position in softball The Powers softball team took a big step toward its first-ever league title when it completed a season sweep of its league games against traditional power Toledo on Thursday.

The Cruisers topped the Boomers 9-3 to improve to a perfect 7-0 in Class 2A-1A District 4 and 14-1 on the season. The Cruisers’ only loss was at Toledo in a nonleague game following their league contest back in early April.

Powers also beat Eddyville Charter 17-8 last week and this week plays Eddyville again on Monday and is at Bandon on

Tuesday. The Cruisers have a nonleague game at home against Umpqua Valley Christian on Friday and play another nonleague game at Oakland on Monday.

If Powers wins both its league games this week, it will win its first league title in just its second year as a program.

Toledo beat Bandon 18-2 in its other league game during the week and has just the two league losses to Powers, with a league record of 6-2. Bandon did not have any other games last week. In addition to facing the Cruisers, Bandon faces Crow on Wednesday in a non-

league game at Myrtle Point and is back in Myrtle Ponit for a league game Friday and hosts Umpqua Valley Christian on Saturday.

Myrtle Point edged Waldport 20-19 in its only league game last week and won at Crow 17-4 in a nonleague game. The Bobcats also face Crow on Wednesday, after Bandon’s game and host Umpqua Valley Christian on Monday in a nonleague contest.

Myrtle Point is 4-3 and Bandon 3-4 in league play.

SKY-EM LEAGUE: North Bend won all three games of its series with Marshfield as the

Bulldogs improved to 14-1 on the season.

North Bend won the game at Marshfield 15-4 in its first league contest after having its bye in the league schedule last week.

When the teams moved to North Bend for the doubleheader, the Bulldogs won 14-8 and 18-3.

North Bend has a huge series this week, hosting Marist Catholic on Tuesday and visiting the Spartans for a doubleheader Friday.

Marist Catholic is No. 5 and North Bend No. 7 in the most recent coaches poll for Class 4A. Marist Catholic only has one

loss to an in-state team, a setback against top-ranked Scappoose (they split a doubleheader). North Bend’s only loss is to No. 2 Astoria.

Marshfield, which is 1-5 in league play, has its bye in the league schedule this week and is off until hosting Marist Catholic on May 12.

FAR WEST LEAUGE: South Umpqua swept its series with Coquille during the week.

The Lancers won 17-1 on the road and then took both games of the doubleheader at home by shutout, 19-0 and 10-0.

Those attending are encouraged to wear Oregon Duck attire or green and yellow to honor her favorite team.

Those wishing to honor Diane’s memory may do so by sending flowers to the graveside service or by supporting Shore Acres State Park, one of her favorite places to visit.

nance: The city claims the change will make it easier to operate without much fuss. However, the purpose of Council Rules is to specify Council authority over meeting agendas, debate, voting and more its’ core functioning!

An ordinance is a ‘SHALL’; a resolution is a ‘MAY’. An ordinance by nature is hardened against tampering and that will protect Council authority from encroachment.

Further, during the second meeting it was stated that an ordinance is subject to State guidelines and allows for a referendum vote. A resolution does

not.

Are you willing to give up a chance to challenge a Council action?

Updating the process to fill council vacancies in limited circumstances: The City claims this provision will allow the City to carry on, should a majority of councilors become unable to function.

Think of the great earthquake or tsunami. This possibility does exist and this amendment is probably the only amendment I can fully support.

If you disagree with even one of the changes, VOTE NO on Measure 6-229.

to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee's and attorney's fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale. In construing this, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the successor in interest to the grantor as well as any other person owing obligation, the performance of which is secured by said trust deed; the words "trustee" and "beneficiary" include their respective successors in interest, if any.

Pursuant to Oregon Law, this sale will not be deemed final until the Trustee's deed has been issued by Prime Recon LLC. If any irregularities are discovered within 10 days of the date of this sale, the trustee will rescind the sale, return the buyer's money and take further action as necessary. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary's Agent, or the Beneficiary's Attorney. Also, please be advised that pursuant to the terms stated on the Deed of Trust and Note, the beneficiary is allowed to conduct property inspections while there is a default. This shall serve as notice that the beneficiary shall be conducting property inspections on the referenced property. Without limiting the trustee's disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee's sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic.

Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee's sale. NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 05/27/2026 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to

move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing.

You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TOMONTH OR WEEK-TO-WEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left.

You must be provided with at least 30 days' written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: Is the result of an arm's-length transaction; Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale.

ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner's name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new

owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property.

Otherwise: You do not owe rent; The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service.

“Providing for council rules to be established by ordinance or resolution”: To my understanding, ordinances are more formal, permanent. To me, this update simplifies how the council as a team can operate without permanent changes when they aren’t needed, as well as creates opportunity for time limits or other ways to try improvements and see what works.

“Updating the process to fill council vacancies in limited circumstances”: These have come from litigation where cities experienced a council without an elected quorum for extended periods. Without councils to choose courses of actions, city services can grind to a halt quickly.

For us in North Bend, it’s a little more of a concern because our charter has lower monetary thresholds for when council must approve of a purchase Many decisions in many

departments require council approval all year long.

It is highly recommended to vote early and to vote informed. Early voting better ensures your vote is counted quickly and allows for a faster turnaround of results after election day closes at 8 p.m.

Coast—with the potential to transform the region and our state,” said Merkley.

“The Port of Coos Bay project stands to benefit working families across the region by creating good-paying, local union jobs and will continue to work with local and federal partners to get this project over the finish line.”

The total state and federal funding for the project now sits at over $160 million indicating a sense of momentum behind the project from lawmakers at both levels.

“I’m glad the teamwork with Senator Merkley, Congresswoman Hoyle

along with state and local officials has generated this most recent federal investment in the rail line that keeps this transformational Port of Coos Bay project advancing down the tracks,” said Wyden.

“This significant investment is great news for the port’s fresh approach to generate thousands of good-paying jobs on the South Coast and to expand supply chain capacity for our entire country. And I’ll keep pressing for the needed additional federal investments to complete this innovative ship-to-rail approach.”

we will get them all the way through tabulation, but if its two-o-clock in the morning, we look at how much is left and decide if we can get them through in a reasonable amount of time.”

Election day is a marathon for elections office employees. The three full time staff members are there from seven a.m. until that late-night breaking point, only to turn around and be back in the office the next morning.

Counts are tabulated using air-gapped machines, and those handling ballots do so at tables with representatives from both major parties to ensure security.

Results will be posted online as soon as possible once 8 p.m. rolls around on the 19th. Rolling updates are scheduled as posted on the county’s elections web page.

Brecke also encouraged anyone who is curious about the process to sign up for observation. Mem-

bers of the community can register for a time slot to watch the proceedings as they unfold and pose questions to the team at the elections office.

If you have any other questions about the process, your ballot, or observation you can reach out to the Coos County Clerk’s office at (541) 3967610 or check the elections page of the county website at co.coos.or.us/clerk/page/ elections.

“The primaries are always a lower percentage [voter turnout], typically around 38% in our count…

We would like to see people voting early and we would like to see that percentage rate go up,” said Brecke. “The more people who are voting, the more voices are heard. Then we’re getting a really good feel for what the public actually wants.”

Vote early, vote informed, but most importantly vote in the first place.

opment costs to make the project worth pursuing.

Around 120 people attended the two town hall meetings, approximately 80 percent of which stated they were against residential development on the site. Most cited concerns over traffic and infrastructure as their leading concerns.

What locals did support was recreational use of the land for trails, parks and other easily accessible open spaces for folks to enjoy. AKS recommend-

ed that the city change the zoning on the area to reflect that use. Taking that 110 acres off of the possible development area for the city’s urban growth boundary would potentially allow them to find that growth elsewhere. An agreement will need to be found with the port as to what is best for the parcel.

“Finally, we have an answer, and I appreciate that. We have clear direction that this is not feasible. It’s great to get an answer, finally, that’s

definitive… and we need to look at other ways to build the housing out through the urban growth boundary or whatever else it is,” said Mayor Joe Benetti in response to the findings. “I also appreciate the public input that was gained. I think its important that we keep the public involved.”

Each of the council members present expressed gratitude that they finally had an answer after thirty years of inquiries over development on the tract.

PHOTO COURTESY OF MARY SCHAMEHORN

As I See It Every year as we approach Memorial Day, I remember the Stormwatchers festival held that weekend for a number of years, back in the 1980s. One of the main events was a sandcastle contest (first photo) which drew hundreds of people to the beach to craft a sandcastle or just watch.

The first day of the weekend event was held at The Barn where vendors gathered with their food offerings and music, playing to large crowds.

The second photo shows the small building that was erected on the beach to sell water and swag like sweatshirts. The crowd reminds us of those who gather today to walk the coveted Circles in the Sand, which has put Bandon on the map.

I looked through my Cranberry Festival collection of negatives, and came

across one from 1983 when three of us, Rich Iverson (owner of Lord Bennett’s), the late Dr. Del Remy and I, were judging the Queen of the Kitchen entries out at the VFW Hall.

The PGA Professional Championship was held at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort this week, culminating with the championship rounds last Wednesday. The Golf Channel carried the event, which began Sunday with some of the most spectacular coverage you would ever hope to see. This kind of nationwide advertising is something we could never afford. The announcers were enthusiastic about the beauty of the property, calling it

“an iconic masterpiece first envisioned by Mike Keiser,” and urging people to put it on their bucket list.

Two important cases were adjudicated recently, with one man sentenced to more than 8 years in prison and another facing over 7 years.

On Dec. 24, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office responded to a fatal crash on Transpacific Parkway. An investigation revealed that Reef M. Berry, 22, Bandon, was operating the vehicle, impaired, with passengers in the vehicle.

One young man, Austin Quarisa, 19, died from his injuries, and Nate Lester, 19, was seriously injured.

Quarisa was the son of Lila and Bobby Quarisa, owners of By the Sea Gardens, and Lester is the son of Wade Lester and the grandson of Nancy Goddard Murphy.

Berry appeared in Coos County Circuit Court April 20 and pleaded guilty to second degree manslaughter, third degree assault-DUII and Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants. He was transferred to the Department of Corrections for his total sentence of 105 months (8 years and 9 months). Also on April 20, Brian Tenney, 53, who has been running the West Coast Game Park Safari since taking it over from his parents in 2009, entered guilty pleas to 47 counts involving animal neglect along with drugs and weapons violations, with sentencing set for July 20.

That same day, Edith Beckner, described as his on and off partner who helped care for the animals, is expected to respond in court to a large number of charges filed against her.

Investigators say the park has continued operating without proper licensing beginning in 2023. What appeared to visitors as a family attraction was, according to authorities, the site of serious and ongoing criminal activity. In addition to the 300 animals removed from the property, law enforcement seized $1.6 million in cash, cocaine and meth, and multiple firearms.

The Port of Bandon posted on Facebook Saturday

that thieves had stolen the two large bronze plaques dedicating the marina. A spokesman said cameras will be checked and local pawn/scrappers will be notified. Anyone with information is urged to contact the port at 541-347-3206 or the Bandon Police Department.

Bandon Fire was paged out at 2:30 p.m. Sunday for a motor vehicle accident on Seven Devils Road, milepost 4.5. First responders on scene advised dispatch that this was an old accident from the previous night, and incoming units could be canceled.

A woman posted on Facebook April 22 that her parents’ place near Boice Cope Park in Langlois had been broken into, leaving the sliding glass door wide open.

Bandon Fire was paged to the area of Ocean Crest School for an electrical wire that was down near the school. It was reported that a transformer blew near the school, causing a power outage in west Bandon that lasted several hours, and resulted in several people stuck in elevators at Pacific View.

I have learned that a 1969 graduate of Bandon High School, Warren Hopson, died of cancer April 4 in Hillsboro where he had lived many years with his wife Janet and their family, including three children, Sarah, Katherine and Samuel. He was born in Myrtle Point in 1950, the fourth of five children born to Miles and Katherine Hopson, and raised in Bandon. He lettered in basketball and track, excelling in the pole vault. He went to Southern Oregon College in Ashland, graduating in 1973 with a degree in criminology and police science. He dedicated his life to law enforcement and was with the Washington County Sheriffs Office for many years where he rose to the rank of sergeant, before retiring in 2003. In

Jim Proehl, a member of the museum’s board of directors, received the honor “for his dedication to preserving and promoting the history of Bandon through his service to the Bandon Historical Society in the forms of leadership, education, communication, collection care, fundraising and beyond.”

Also honored was the late Paul Quarino for his 44 years serving as steward and caretaker of Coos Bay’s Egyptian Theatre’s Mighty Wurlitzer, ensuring that the magic of this 1925 organ could be shared with future generations.

Southwestern partners with Rotary Clubs to host “Gift of Literacy” program

“The more that you read, the more things you will know.

The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”— Dr. Seuss More than 500 first-graders from throughout Coos County gathered at Southwestern Oregon Community College for a celebration of books and reading on April 23, 2026.

The event marked the culmination of the Gift of Literacy Program, a sixmonth initiative designed to encourage a lifelong love of reading among young children.

Reading is fundamental.

It develops young children’s brains, provides a window into the world around them and helps them do better in all school subjects. Even so, 800 million people around the world cannot read or write.

And many families (and some schools) have no books for children to read.

With the idea of im-

proving children’s access to fun books and reading, the Rotary Clubs and school districts of North Bend, Coos Bay, Reedsport, Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point and Powers, along with South Coast Education Service District (ESD), and Southwestern have partnered for the past nine years on the Gift of Literacy Program.

Modeled after the Springfield Gift of Literacy, this well-established, time-tested, award-winning program supports reading and inspires thousands of young children.

Each year, Coos County librarians and teachers choose the books. Firstgrade classrooms receive a set of the books in November, giving teachers an opportunity to read the

books in the classroom and build excitement.

The Gift of Literacy Program culminates in the festive celebration at the College with music, guest book readers, and a play put on by youth actors with Little Theatre on the Bay. First-graders receive a bag filled with fun swag, a careers coloring book, and the year’s featured brand-new books!

“Literacy is the foundation for lifelong learning, and it’s a privilege to support that journey from the very start,” said Southwestern President and local Rotarian Dr. Patty Scott.

“This event reflects our deep commitment — not just to education, but to empowering every child in our community to thrive.”

The Rotary Clubs, the

South Coast Education Service District, and the College extend a special thanks to Yellow Cab,

First Community Credit Union, McDonald’s, Peak Credit Union, and Oliver Northwest Services, Inc.

for their generous support of the Gift of Literacy Program.

Reedsport unveil new downtown EV charging stations

By Nate Schwartz World Editor

Hoping they will help supercharge visits to their historic downtown area, the City of Reedport cut the ribbon on four new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.

Right across from city hall on the corner of Winchester and 5th street, the new stations invite passing drivers to explore the numerous shops, restaurants and community events that give the main downtown strip its character.

“We’re hopeful that bringing in the new technology of EV charging stations will bring people to our downtown area,” said Reedsport’s Community Development Director, Steve Wilson.

“Utilizing things like our pharmacy, our businesses, all the new restaurants.

They can park their vehicle, we have four stations, and enjoy all that downtown has to offer.”

The process as a whole took about a year to come

to fruition. The grant application process began in April of 2025 through the Urban Renewal District, which was able to secure grants from Oregon Coast Visitors Association, Travel Southern Oregon Coast, and the Oregon Department of Transportation’s Community Charging Rebates.

The installation, from contracting to completion, was a nine-month process. The work was done through the collaboration of multiple city departments with contractors Central Lincoln PUD and Elkhorn Electric.

Reedsport has long served as a travel hub thanks to its unique position which intersects multiple of the South Coast’s main arteries.

Highway 38, the Umpqua Scenic Highway, runs right through the heart of the historic downtown connecting Highway 101 to the I-5 and the rest of the West Coast. Making the installation of the chargers, which contin-

ue to grow in demand, a no-brainer for the city.

“There are very few charging stations on the Oregon Coast,” said Wilson. “For anyone coming through utilizing 101, they’re going to be on the look for where the next station is at. As you head northward the next isn’t until Newport. That’s a pretty significant stretch.”

The average charge can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes, making it a perfect opportunity to grab a bite from a local restaurant, check out the goods from small businesses or visit attractions like the Umpqua Discovery Center.

The U.S. department of transportation suggests “given the significant time required even when using fast charging infrastructure, EV drivers may also be inclined to combine their refueling stops with other activities, including visits to local stores, restaurants, parks, and attractions in the vicinity.

Providing EV charging stations can thus enable rural communities to draw regional travelers driving EVs and to stay connected to the broader EV

Two local caddies earn full college scholarships Staff Report

Ten caddies from Oregon have been granted the Western Golf Association’s (WGA) Evans Scholarship, including two from Coos County.

Safaa Dimitruk from Bandon High School and Annika Bones from Marshfield were both awarded the prestigious grant, which covers full housing and tuition, after selection interviews at the Waverly Country Club in Portland.

Both youth caddies were sponsored by Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, which recently hosted the PGA championship.

The students will begin college this fall as Evans Scholars, with most Oregon winners expected to attend the University of Oregon in Eugene. Final university placements

will be determined this spring. The Evans Scholarship is valued at more than $125,000 over four years.

Qualification for the scholarship involves caddies excelling in four key areas: a strong caddie record, excellent academics, demonstrated financial need and outstanding character.

“These young people have distinguished themselves through years of hard work on the golf course and in the classroom,” said Dan Harmon, a WGA Director and the state chair of Oregon. “Caddying builds confidence, responsibility and perseverance, and these students have embraced those lessons. We are proud to welcome them as Evans Scholars and look forward to the

impact they will make in college and beyond.”

The WGA, headquartered in Glenview, Illinois, has supported the Chick Evans Scholarship Program through the Evans Scholars Foundation since 1930.

Known as one of golf’s favorite charities, it is the nation’s largest scholarship program for caddies.

Currently, a record 1,260 caddies are enrolled at 27 universities across the country as Evans Scholars, including 34 at the University of Oregon. More than 12,575 caddies have graduated as Evans Scholars since the Program was founded by famed Chicago amateur golfer Charles “Chick” Evans Jr. in 1930.

Through the scholastic support received by

the foundation, Evan Scholars graduate at a 98 percent rate with a cumulative 3.3 GPA. Four out of ten scholars are first-generation college students and 96 percent are employed or enrolled in graduate school within six months of graduating.

In addition to over 43,500 supporters nationwide, funds for the scholarship program come from Evans Scholars Alumni, who contribute over $15 million to the program annually.

All proceeds from the BMW Championship event during PGA Tour playoffs go straight to the program as well.

Congratulations to Annika and Safaa on their scholarships, the World wishes you the best of luck in your future studies.

Jerry Isley, age 70, of North Bend, OR, entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior on March 29th, 2026, following a second stroke, surrounded by his loving family. He was much loved and will be greatly missed. A man of unwavering faith, Jerry lived his life as a testament to the grace of God.

She had dreams of pursuing nursing, with a special passion for working in the NICU, where her gentle heart and love for others would have made such a difference.

Mariah found joy in the simple, beautiful moments of life especially being at the beach, her favorite place. She loved capturing memories, always taking pictures with her cousins, even if it meant taking a hundred just to love one.

She was always up for late 9 p.m. runs for something random whether it was for a baking idea, Dutch, or makeup related she suddenly “needed.” She was the go-to driver for just about everything, even baseball cards, always showing up for the people

she loved. She also cherished time spent hunting with her grandpa, these moments meant so much to her.

She had a heart that showed in everything she did. Mariah was incredibly kind, independent, and full of personality bringing a little sass and humor wherever she went. She had a way of making people feel comfortable, seen, and cared for. Her love for her family ran deep, and it showed in the little things, like the “LOL” messages she shared with her Grandma Judy, a simple connection that meant so much.

Mariah loved being an aunt more than anything, it was one of her proudest roles. The love she had for her niece, Tatum, was undeniable and pure. Children were naturally drawn to her, and she had a gift for making them feel safe and loved.

If you knew Mariah, you knew how much she loved having fun: making TikToks with her cousins, keeping up with every trending challenge, and sending voice audios back and forth at all hours. She loved getting ready and putting together the cutest outfits, even if it took a little extra time. Every night, you could count on her asking her mom, “What’s for dinner?”, followed by Mariah saying “Really, are

you sure?”. And if she was with her brother Dylan, they were roasting each other to get a reaction and a laugh.

Summers were spent camping at the Rogue River, making memories with family. She loved music, especially blasting rap songs with her dad out on the porch and her aunt Sandy taking her to concerts, moments filled with laughter and videos to be remembered.

Mariah is survived by her parents, Brandon and Angela Mayfield; her brother, Dylan Mayfield, and sister-in-law, Kaylin; her niece, Tatum Mayfield; her grandparents, great grandmother; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and family friends, along with countless others whose lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and endlessly loved by all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to honor Mariah’s memory through a donation to the Mariah Mayfield Scholarship at First Community Credit Union.
