Congresswoman Hoyle visits Port of Coos Bay to announce $100 million in bonds for channel

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

Congresswoman Val Hoyle was in Coos Bay on Friday August 1 to announce the $100 million in funds coming to the Port of Coos Bay for continued development of the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP) project. Flanked by the Port’s Director of External Affairs Matt Friesen and Melissa Cribbins, the Executive Director of the PCIP project, Hoyle spoke with optimism about the unique aspects of the project and its viability. It was previously reported in the World that this $100 million in state funding was a grant, however this was not a fully accurate description. The money is a bond, subject to conditional requirements tied to the specific aspect of the project it is funding: the dredging and modification of the navigational channel. Before the money can be used for any dredging, the Port and its private partners North Point will need to complete a full National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) impact study. The funds are also tied to the project’s ability to secure further federal funding toward some of the other important aspects of

its completion, such as railroad improvements necessary for the ship-to-rail port. If the project is to be completed, there will have to be substantial upgrades to rail crossings and yards along the rail lines from Coos Bay to Eugene, and beyond, as the project hopes to be able to ship goods all the way to the Midwest.

All in, the cost of building the PCIP is estimated to cost well over $2 billion dollars and the Port will hope further funding can be secured expediently, as it has set out a 5-year timeline for its expected completion. The Port is still in the planning and permitting stage, with the NEPA process to follow once a clearer idea of the full extent of development is available.

Detractors of the project have made environmental impact the forefront of that opposition along with changes to the way of life in Empire, which is straight across the navigational channel from the proposed North Spit site. Other points include tribal concerns, and the factual figures of job creation and the housing necessary for the estimated 8000 new positions that the PCIP and its construction will supposedly bring to the area.

The World raised concerns

about the NEPA survey process and the Port’s transparency throughout the process to the Congresswoman and Executive Director in this press meeting. Their responses at length were as

follows. On the NEPA Environmental Impact Survey:

“The first thing that needs to happen, and that we’re moving towards, is a full NEPA process.

7th Annual Food Truck Off brought fun and flavor to Ko-Kwel Casino Resort

Editor

There are few events for Coos County foodies quite like the Ko-Kwel Casino Resort’s annual Food Truck Off. The celebration of flavor has become a staple of summertime on the South Coast, bringing together passionate and talented chefs from Southwestern

Oregon and beyond to duke it out in the culinary coliseum, all for our tasting pleasure.

This year saw trucks from as far away as Idaho, alongside local favorites, and regulars at the Front Street and NoBe food truck pods that spice up Coos Bay and North Bend’s food scenes. The three-day event

boasted live music, $5 sample plates, and a communal foodloving spirit. A portion of each day’s $5 entry fee haul went toward supporting the Boys and Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon.

A contingent of chefs, travel writers, and restauranteurs made up a judges panel which tasted

signature dishes from each truck, and gave awards in four different categories. The people also got a vote thanks to the People’s Choice award. Winners received a cash prize along with a plaque commemorating their victory.

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

Why a store kicked out a Royal

By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

Talk about a royal mess.

The saleslady had simply had enough. As a clerk at the highly fashionable — and very expensive — fashion boutique, she had seen the type too many times to count. And she wasn’t in the mood to put up with it again

Opened in 1953, Bellville Sassoon quickly became a “must” fashion house for the British glitterati. “We are the Chanel of London,” co-owner David Sassoon once immodestly boasted. It catered to high-end celebrities, politicians, society figures and royalty. Its many A-List clients included Elizabeth the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, Margaret Thatcher and Audrey Hepburn. Its designers were master practitioners of elegant design delivered with a sophisticated British flair, such as luxurious fabrics sewn with almost excruciating attention to tailoring down to the most minute detail. If you were a woman of stature hosting a garden party or a debutante being presented to society at a coming-out ball or any of a dozen other elegant situations, you wanted to wear Bellville Sassoon.

And now, late in the afternoon one day toward the end of February 1981, the salesclerk found herself stuck with a teenager ogling outfits. She was 19, painfully shy, unsure of herself or what she wanted. Her sandy hair was worn in a feathered style, layered and slightly tousled, spilling down onto her forehead until it almost resembled a sheepdog. Her clothes were respectable, but certainly nothing worthy of catching the eye of anyone in the highbrow establishment. Her chin stayed down, her blue eyes darting back and forth, uncertainly.

Her boyfriend had recently proposed, she had explained, and she needed an outfit for their en-

Ballroom

Rarely can we define any one person, place, or thing by a single issue, however sometimes a single issue or trait can give us a glimpse of what we are trying to understand about something or someone.

That being said, let’s look at the prospect of the current administration building a $200 million ballroom at the White House. Donald Trump wants it so he’s probably going to get it. My questions for those who voted for him are as follows:

First, is this what you expected when you voted for someone who said they were going “drain the swamp“? How is building an extravagant ballroom in any way helping to root out waste and corruption? I get that there are already statements that the cost will be covered by private donations, however that raises some concerns.

So second question; who’s going to donate to this ballroom Trump wants, you? If the status quo remains in place as much as we have seen so far during this administration, it will most likely be a few of those standing in line for presidential favors. Perhaps they have a pending case in front of a federal court, maybe an impending fine, or possibly in need of a pardon for a family member who committed fraud. Is that how you envisioned swamp draining to look like? If we are going to add on to the Executive Mansion, shouldn’t the people pay for it? Building a ballroom financed by billionaires looking for presidential favors doesn’t really scream out democracy, rather it smells like a lot of potential for more corruption.

Last question, who is this ballroom supposed to attract? I think it’s safe to say that the majority of the people frequenting a $200 million ballroom don’t look like you and me. That venue will bring in the people wanting favors with Trump.

People voted to drain the swamp, are their expectations being met? Would this ballroom be a measure of America’s success?

gagement portrait. She obviously didn’t have the faintest idea what that outfit should be.

The salesclerk quickly grew annoyed. She had to put up with that sort way too often. Teenage poseurs, trying to bluff their way into a gown their social station didn’t merit or their pocketbook could afford.

On top of that, the older woman was a French vendeuse (a fancy way of saying salesclerk), and everyone knows the French are famous for their patience and tolerance. The girl was simply getting on her nerves.

It was almost closing time, and the young shopper kept dilly-dallying, going back from one outfit to another.

The clerk finally had enough.

“Perhaps you should try something more democratic,” she sniffed. “Why don’t you go to Harrods? It’s right around the corner.”

(A premium boutique suggesting Harrods department store would be akin to recommending Macy’s to a Hollywood starlet. Nice enough, but not in the same elite league.)

Her feelings hurt, the teenager hurried out, and the salesclerk went home for the day. And that might have been the end of that except for one thing.

The girl was Lady Diana Spencer. The fiancé who had popped the question a few days earlier was Charles, the Prince of Wales and future king of Great Britain. The scones were about to hit the fan.

Like all teenagers since the dawn of time, Diana shared her humiliating experience with her girlfriends. Who immediately told their friends. And they told theirs. Word quickly swept through the British capital. By the next morning, anybody who was anybody in London knew that Bellville Sassoon had snubbed a future queen of England.

Finding out what happened the next morning (this was before Twitter, text messages and the internet), David Sassoon went ballistic. Then he went into damage control. Initially furious at the debacle, he quickly got over it. Diana was young and likely to be a high-profile member of the Royal Family for decades to come. He couldn’t risk losing her patronage.

So he called Diana’s mother, Frances Shand Kydd, a Bellville Sassoon customer, begging both her forgiveness and for a second chance.

The mother was sympathetic. Diana was not. She did, indeed, buy her engagement portrait dress at Harrods, a blue Cojana suit soon seen in newspapers and magazine photos around the world.

Diana’s mother eventually mollified her and, acting as an intermediary, accompanied her on another visit to the store. This time she was treated like, well, a princess. Things were smoothed out, and Bellville Sassoon eventually made the peach going-away outfit Diana wore when she departed Buckingham Palace after the wedding.

“From then on, she only dealt with me,” Sassoon recalled. “Diana became the star, and everything changed overnight.”

The snobby salesclerk’s identity was never revealed. It’s safe to assume she received one of history’s greatest chewing outs.

They say you can’t judge a book by its cover. Seems the same holds true for teenage shoppers, too.

Milliron Response

Editor,

I’m writing to correct several inaccuracies in Ms. Susanna Noordhoff’s recent letter and to reassure readers about how North Bend conducts the public’s business.

First, the City Council—not the City Administrator—sets policy and governs its own procedures. Agendas are assembled consistent with Ordinance 2052 and Council direction. When an item has not met prerequisite steps, it is routed to a work session for discussion before any vote—exactly what occurred in May 2024. That is routine good governance, not overreach.

Second, Council-adopted rules centralize non-routine staff contacts through the City Administrator so all councilors receive the same information and staff are not put in the middle of political disagreements. Enforcing those rules protects employees and the Council’s deliberative process.

Third, concepts occasionally shared at work sessions—such as potential small-scale housing—are just that: concepts for discussion. No City property is declared surplus, rezoned, or committed to any use without formal Council action in a public meeting. When questions arise, we clarify them on the record.

Fourth, the City’s community engagement on plans (including parks planning) has followed applicable laws and practices. When the Council creates a board or committee, it does so by vote, with public notice and applications. Staff-facilitated stakeholder groups are not the same as Council-created bodies and do not make binding decisions.

Finally, Ms. Noordhoff’s broad allegations about my conduct were

Find your roots at the library

By JENNY BROWNFIELD and EMILY CHURCH Coos Bay Library

Have you ever wanted to research your family history? Over 96% of Americans have ancestors who immigrated to the U.S. from other countries, which can make it difficult to trace our family history beyond recent memory. If you find yourself curious about where you came from, the Coos Bay Public Library (CBPL) has both online and physical resources that can help you learn about your family tree.

Researching your ancestors can be difficult and overwhelming and many of us don’t know where to start. Thankfully, the librarians at CBPL can help! For those of you who are from Coos County, you might want to start with CBPL’s Oregon Collection. This collection is specifically about Oregon and its history and has over 3500 items.

Some of the items in this collection include Marshfield High School yearbooks dating back to 1915, local phone books and Polk’s Directories from as early as 1904, and local histories of all types. We also have local newspapers on microfilm from as far back as 1879 including The World, the Coos Bay Times, and their predecessors. This collection is available for in-library use only, but you can find the yearbooks and many historic newspapers online as well. These resources can be used to research your family history, find old phone numbers and addresses, or to simply look at your great-aunt Gretchen’s freshman yearbook picture.

If you can’t make it into the library, don’t worry, we also have many online resources that can help you with your search. From our website just click on the Resources & Learning tab and then “Genealogy and Local History”. You will find links to several online resources including Historic Oregon Newspapers, Marshfield High year books, and the Coos History Museum. There are also two links that are specifically geared towards genealogy

previously reviewed by the City Council and an independent, outside investigator. Those reviews did not substantiate her claims about the administration. Instead, they identified conduct concerns with Ms. Noordhoff, which led the Council to formally censure her. The voters subsequently chose not to return her to office. These are matters of public record.

I respect spirited debate and welcome criticism grounded in facts. But repeating assertions that have already been examined and rejected misleads readers and erodes trust. I unequivocally deny Ms. Noordhoff’s allegations. If the newspaper plans to run future submissions that present factual claims about staff or legal matters, I ask that you provide a brief heads-up so we can supply the underlying documents and ensure accuracy for your readers.

The City is prepared to provide the investigative findings, censure action, and meeting records to anyone who wishes to review them. We reserve all rights to pursue appropriate remedies if false statements about City staff persist. Thank you for the opportunity to set the record straight.

Respectfully,

David A. Milliron City Administrator, City of North Bend PCIP

There has been a carefully orchestrated media campaign to promote a massive container port project at Coos Bay, also heavy lobbying of state and federal legislators. Only the positives as claimed by the promoters are presented in the media. To hear the promoters there are no downsides. None. Promoters repeatedly claim everybody in Coos Bay is handsdown in favor of this project. News media invariably go along with the promoters’ claims without asking probing questions, such as: What impacts will dredging and blasting 32 million cubic yards of

sand and rock out of the Bay have on local marine life, aesthetics and the existing industries that depend on that? What about the air and water pollution from a constant procession of massive container ships? How will the 24/7 noise and light affect Empire residents immediately across the Bay? What data supports the ever-expanding claims about jobs? How will they temporarily house huge construction crews coming in and what will be their impacts on our local infrastructure? Who will get (how many?) permanent port jobs in Coos Bay?

What about the impact of 12 daily 7,000-foot trains rumbling through towns and cities along

the 130-mile route to Eugene, and in Eugene itself? Is there really a market for this new port when all other West Coast ports are bigger, much better situated near national highway and rail networks, and expanding at breakneck speed to accommodate projected shipping volumes? What solid assurances or contracts have been secured from major shippers to actually use the port? And what about the trend toward ever larger ships that exceed Coos Bay’s capacity. These are just a few of many questions not asked by the media and not answered for those of us who do ask.

SPORTS Local caddies play role in U.S. Women’s Amateur

BANDON DUNES -- For just the second time in nine USGA events at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, the champion did not have a caddie from the resort.

The U.S. Women’s Amateur was completed on Sunday (results were not available by press time), but the last player with a looper from the resort was eliminated in the semifinals Saturday.

The only other USGA winner at the resort without a Bandon Dunes caddie was the 2020 U.S. Amateur champion Tyler Strafaci, who had his father carrying his bag.

Many of the players in the Women’s Amateur also had parents on their bags, or college coaches.

Still, the caddie corps at the resort carried on its strong tradition of supporting USGA events.

In all, 64 caddies were used during practice rounds or during the competition.

Lyla Louderbaugh made it furthest among those with resort loopers. The University of Kansas student from Missouri had Robin Oliver on her bag for the week.  Oliver, who has been a caddie at Bandon Dunes for a little over nine years, also carried bags for the U.S. Men’s Four-Ball Championship and the U.S. Junior Amateur, two of the other eight USGA events the resort has hosted over the years.

“I like doing the tournaments,” he said. “It’s giving back to the resort.

“We want our best out there (during championships).”

The caddies take pride in their record during the USGA events, and many were following along with Oliver’s matches, especially after the others had been eliminated.

“How many have been won by the local caddies?” he said. “There’s that kind of pressure from the shack. So many of them are rooting for me.”

Oliver said he was rooting for the others in the field as well. They were whittled down round by round in the tough competition, including six who fell out during a big playoff for the final spots in match play on Wednesday morning.

By Thursday afternoon, just Oliver, Mike Lynch (carrying for Jasmine Koo) and Dave Botimer (for Kary Hollenbaugh) remained.

Oliver made it through that round of 16 and then through the quarterfinals, when Louderbaugh eliminated University of Oregon star Kiara Romero in a match that went 20 holes.

After that match, Louderbaugh talked about the value of having a caddie with local course knowledge, especially when the typical wind picked up.

“It’s helped a lot,” she said. “There’s so many lines and different places I never would have dreamt of placing a ball.”

As for the wind, Oliver’s experience was a huge plus.

“I think my caddie helps me

judge for the wind,” she said. “You have to visualize and draw it up in your head for each shot.”

She also said Oliver helped keep her calm and avoid the stress of the moment.

“Robin is laid back,” she said. “That helps on the golf course.”

Louderbaugh also was aware of the history of USGA success for the local loopers.

“All but one won with caddies,” she said. “It tells enough about what it means to have a local caddie.”

Oliver was just happy to see her advancing through the

bracket.

“We got it done today,” he said. “That’s the big thing.”

He praised Louderbaugh’s abilities and approach on the golf course.

“It’s fun,” he said. “She shakes off bad shots really fast.”

The two formed a good pair during the week. Louderbaugh had the No. 4 seed after the two rounds of qualifying and then won her first four matches.

“I’m just trying to get her through to the end,” Oliver said. “I want her to win. I’m invested.”

Ultimately, it didn’t happen.  Louderbaugh lost a tough match in the semifinals to fellow Missouri native Brooke Biermann, one that went 19 holes. Biermann, like a number of the other players, had her father as caddie during the tournament.

She played Megha Ganne in the final Sunday.

The Bandon Dunes caddie corps won’t have to wait too long for another chance to have the winning bags during a USGA event. Bandon Dunes will host the Walker Cup, an international amateur team event for men, in 2028.

Big Kahuna meet a success for Gold Coast Swim Team

The annual Big Kahuna swim meet was another huge success for the Gold Coast Swim Team.

The event was held Aug. 1-3 at the Mingus Park Pool. This year’s meet was the largest since the Covid-19 pandemic, with more than 260 swimmers from clubs around the state.

In addition to Gold Coast Swim Team and the South Coast Aquatic Team, clubs included Albany Aquatics, Cascadia Swimming (Portland), Central Coast Swim Club (Reedsport), Columbia River Swim Team (Vancouver, Wash.), Emerald Aquatics (Eugene), Eugene City Swim Club, Killer Whales Swim Club (Longview, Wash.), Klamath Basin Aquatics, River Road Swim Team (Eugene), Roseburg Y Swim Team, Superior Aquatics (Medford) and Streamline Swimming of Club Northwest (Grants Pass).

Multiple swimmers from both teams won races or had top-five finishes in various events (participants are listed below).

Swimmers ranged in age from 6 to 19 years old.

The meet followed its traditional Hawaiian theme, with leis handed out to heat winners and officials wearing tropical shirts.

For many of the teams, it is the final event of the summer. It also is the main fundraiser of the year for the Gold Coast Swim Team.

Many sponsors helped make the event a success.

This year’s banner sponsors, who donated from $100 to $199, included Edward Jones Pamela  deJong, Elgin Orthodontics, Art Signs, Dan Hinrichs AAL, Holt Family Dentistry, and Honda World.  Lane sponsors ($200 to $499 in donation) included Bigfoot Beverages, Gies Law LLC, LeMert Orthodontics, Restaurant O, Coastal  Sotheby’s, Arcadia Environmental, Sause Bros, Oregon Pacific Bank, and WilderFarm and Homestead.

The 2025 community sponsors (over $500) were First Community Credit Union, North Bend Medical Center  Pediatrics, and McKay’s Market.   Other businesses who donated items for the meet

they are moving forward with that presently,” said Hoyle. “And from my perspective, and I know Senator Merkley and Senator Wyden are also fully in support, we do not want shortcuts taken in our environmental impact studies at all.”

We want to make sure we have tribal engagement, and have them at the table during the planning. Not just after we’re done, ‘please, will you just check this box?’. I think we saw that with BOEM and people felt like they were rolled over. The Port has really worked on community outreach, and making sure that they’re being transparent in how they are conducting business. We have been abundantly clear that we do not want short cuts taken in terms of the preparation for this project.”

Hoyle went on to outline the federal funding that had already been secured in the form of INFRA ($25 million) and CRISI ($29 million) funds designated for the planning and design of the rail and infrastructure improvements. She mentioned another $25 million package that is expected to be coming soon.

“I appreciate your question about the planning

and the environmental permitting,” said Cribbins, jumping in. “Part of it is, this whole project is connected. So, we can’t start the environmental studies until we have enough design for the entire project, because it has to be considered as one.”

The grants that the congresswoman just mentioned, one is for planning the railroad upgrades and the other is for planning the rail crossing elimination in Reedsport. The one that we’re still waiting on, which should be in any day, is for planning the terminal. And once design and permitting is far enough along we’ll be able to start NEPA, which we’re planning on starting in the first quarter of 2026.”

The World took this opportunity to ask about community criticism as it pertains to transparency.

“I think we’ve already engaged in a level of transparency, that we’ve been trying to make sure that everybody has as much information as possible,” said Cribbins. “We have engaged with a community engagement firm that specializes in making sure that the community is aware of all aspects of the project. We’ve also been going out and attending any community meeting we are invited to, speaking to different groups, explaining what’s going on.” I think there’s always

some level of frustration because you have a project, but until you really go through design and permitting, you can’t give people those details that they really want. NEPA will answer a lot of questions that people have, which are really important. As the congresswoman mentioned, we are fully committed to a complete and open NEPA process. The other condition that’s on the $100 million from the state is that we complete the NEPA process.”

Hoyle backed-up Cribbins’ statement rather candidly:

“I will say what [Cribbins] didn’t say, which is: I think that was a fair criticism about how the Port had operated in the past. I do know and I have seen that the new leadership at the Port, [Cribbins] being the point person on PCIP and Lanelle [Comstock] as Executive Director, that they have made it abundantly clear to everyone at the Port that this is a public body. That these are public records. That people deserve to have information,” said Hoyle.

Because if they don’t have information, then how can they make up their minds about whether this is a good or bad project. Look, there are people that no matter what happens are going to oppose this project. They don’t want industry here, and I don’t fault them for that. That’s a fair position to have.”

However, the people in this community deserve to have information, but you can’t have information before you have the plans. But, the commitment from Port leadership, I have been really, really impressed. It feels almost like night-andday to have this kind of commitment to transparency, and I think that’s what the public deserves.”

Hoyle ended by pointing out, “That may not have been a politically correct thing to say, but it’s just true.”

The World is committed to further coverage of the developing story around the PCIP project.

NW NATURAL FILES NEW RATES IN OREGON

On July 31, NW Natural filed its initial request with the Public Utility Commission of Oregon (OPUC) to reflect gas purchases and other miscellaneous adjustments to rates for the upcoming year that begins October 31. NW Natural will update this filing in mid-September as part of the regulatory process; it is likely that rates will be higher or lower depending on changes in the market price of natural gas and other factors. These costs are updated in similar filings every year.

HOW MUCH WILL MY GAS BILL CHANGE?

If the rate changes are approved as initially filed, residential rates will increase by about $3.24 a month for customers using an average of 54 therms per month. Small-commercial rates will increase by about $12.63 based on usage of 270 therms per month.

Large industrial firm rates will increase by $383.59 based on monthly usage of 9,861 therms, and large industrial interruptible rates will increase by $893.36 based on monthly usage of 27,522 therms. The rate amounts for large industrial customers do not include pipeline demand charges. Rates will be further impacted by the results of a general rate case—expected to be final in October—and could also include additional costs associated with the State of Oregon’s Climate Protection Program.

WHY THE PRICE CHANGE?

NW Natural files a Purchased Gas Adjustment (PGA) and other rate adjustments to: reflect changes in the expected cost of natural gas for the upcoming winter heating season, and: account for the differences between the estimated and actual cost of natural gas from the previous year.

If approved as filed, NW Natural’s net revenues from Oregon customers will increase by $49,313,875 or 5.25%. The revenue increase is made up of an increase of $18,513,449 for forecasted gas and demand costs and an increase of $30,800,426 for annual adjustments.

The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $34,913.25 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $296,515.96 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater.

Coquille’s National Night Out

From The City of Coquille

National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes first responder-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer and better places to live. This year, National Night Out was held on August 5th, 2025. It was a great event with a fantastic turnout. Thanks to generous donations, we were able to serve the community with free hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and drinks. In case you missed it, we had a great crew working on the BBQ. Coquille Officer Rowe and City Counciler Marshall worked for several hours getting the hot dogs and hamburgers cooked for the community. We estimate that around 1,300 people

joined and took part in the fun of National Night Out!

This year we had a bounce house and a fullsize obstacle course for the community to enjoy! Special thank you to First Community Credit Union and First Community Insurance for sponsoring such a fun addition to this year’s event!

This event would not have been possible without the generous donations and support of our local community. Everything that was offered to the community of Coquille was free. We would like to thank the following sponsors for making this year’s event possible:

• First Community Credit Union

• First Community Insurance

• Bigfoot Beverages

• Umpqua BankCoquille

• NW Natural

• Walmart – Coos Bay

• Coquille McKay’s

• 7-Eleven, Inc.

• Waste Connections

• FARR’S Hardware

• Pacific Power

We would also like to give a special thanks to the Coquille Fire Department, Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Myrtle Point Police, Coquille Public Works, Coquille Odd Fellows, Rebekah’s, and all our volunteers for all their help. Your help with set up, serving food, and cleanup is greatly appreciated! You all made this event amazing, it wouldn’t have been successful without all of you! We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

As I See It

The first picture I am sharing is the story about a safe taken from the Golden Rule department store (first picture) in March of 1952.

“Burglars entered the Golden Rule store Friday night, stole a safe weighing some 600 pounds, carted it to the south jetty near the mouth of the Coquille river and chiseled it open. Only the money, estimated by the owner, R.G. “Bob” Norton, at $800, was taken. The rest of the contents, including some valuable store records, were scattered but undamaged.

“The safe was discovered early Saturday morning by Joe Harris, who had gone to the river beach for a load of driftwood. He immediately phoned Eddie Waldrop who in turn notified Chief of Police J.W. Moore.

“The burglars entered the store by boring a hole 13 inches square in the main floor of the building.

“According to Carl Sandstrom, the employee on the tug, Port of Bandon, (second photo) which was sounding in the river near the bar, saw a car moving slowly in the direction outlined at about 11:50 Friday night. It was traveling slowly as if carrying a heavy load.”

The Golden Rule was on Second Street, in the building now known as The Continuum Center.

It was June of 1957 when bulldozer work began at the old City reservoir (third picture) east of Bandon on which were pinned hopes for a community “swimming hole” for trial use that summer.

“The start of actual work at the site was the result of meetings between the Citizens’ Swimming Pool Committee and the City Council -- and later ‘go ahead’ to Warren Albertson to begin the ground-moving and clearing after the council looked over the layout Monday evening.

“The immediate needs appeared to be an access roadway north from Highway 101 opposite Twin Firs Motel, some shaping to make a gentler

slope at the water’s edge and scraping some vegetation and mud off the sand bottom of the reservoir, which has been drained.”

The swimming hole never opened off Highway 42S, nor did one scheduled to be built behind the high school, for which a large hole had been dug before plans were scrapped.

* * * A big crowd of state and local officials gathered on the waterfront in Bandon Thursday morning for a long-awaited announcement by the Coquille Indian Tribe concerning the return of a salmon season on the Coquille River.

Tribal chairwoman Brenda Meade was joined at the podium by ODFW director Debbie Colbert to share the success story between the two groups, coupled with volunteer efforts including STEP (Salmon Trout Enhancement Program) to improve the performance of the hatchery program.

The first fall Chinook fishery since 2021 for the Coquille river will be considered by the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission on Sept. 12 in Ontario and a wild Coho proposal will be considered Aug. 15 in Salem. The following regulations would be in effect on the Coquille River from Sept. 13 to Oct. 15 from Bullards Bridge to Sturdivant Park Bridge in Coquille. A daily bag limit of two adult salmon (hatchery Chinook and wild Coho only but only one may be a wild Coho) and a season limit of three wild Coho.

After the drastic decline in fall Chinook, The Coquille Tribe, ODFW and volunteers worked cooperatively to improve the broodstock collection program along with other steps to help salmon. Increased cooperation came after ODFW and the Tribe signed a landmark 2022 Memorandum of Agreement to cooperatively manage fish and wildlife in a five-county area of southwest Oregon.

By Mary Schamehorn

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, supposedly staring down a $30 million budget shortfall, announced Friday that it will once again implement new fees to help fund the state park system.

The plan involves increased camping fees across the state, and new parking fees at 21 state park sites that previously did not charge for parking fees, including the Coquille River Lighthouse and Face Rock Viewpoint. The new parking fees will go into effect Oct. 1, while the camping fees will begin May 1, the department said.

Bullards Park Manager Nick Schoeppner said a daily parking pass, current annual or two-year parks pass, or current overnight reservation would be required to park at the Lighthouse, or anywhere in the day use area of Bullards Beach, or at Face Rock.

* * * I was sad to learn that Bandon native Paula Colgrove, 71, had died July 27 in Cary, N.C., after a courageous battle with dementia. She was born on Oct. 27, 1953, in Bandon to Hazel and Paul Colgrove, and was sister to Colleen Melhorn and Bruce Colgrove, all of whom preceded her in death.

Paula spent the last seven years of her life in Virginia and North Carolina where she found joy in the company of her daughter, Carri Mitchell and son-inlaw Brian Mitchell. She had three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. While living here, she revived her mother’s Cranberry Catsup recipe and operated Neptune’s Novelties shell shop from her home on Beach Loop Drive. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in Bandon.

* * * I also learned last week of the passing of Doris Forcia, who died in Bandon at the age of 87. A graduate of Siuslaw High School, she attended Lane Community College and built her career as a Home Health care nurse. Among her survivors is her daughter, Karmen Elam Rayevich, of Myrtle Point. Graveside services will be Aug. 15, 6 p.m. at Sailor Cemetery in Noti.

* * * The 125th U.S. Women’s Amateur Golf Championship is underway at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, and people can view the play Wednesday through Friday on The Golf Channel from 3 to 6 p.m.;

on Saturday, from noon to 3 p.m. and on Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m. Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center is the Official Medical Services Provider for the championship. The opportunity came together thanks to the collaborative efforts of Chief Medical Officer Dr. Alden Forrester and Bandon Dunes officials. “It’s a great privilege to help out such a prestigious organization that is a credit to our community, and to support and promote this high level of women’s sports,” said

Dr. Forrester.

* * * Coming Events: There is no Meet and Greet scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 5, but people are reminded that National Night Out is being held that night from 5 to 8 in Bandon City Park with free food, games and demonstrations, sponsored by the Bandon Police Department.

The Meet and Greet for Aug. 12 at noon at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse is sponsored by the hospital and will feature Brenna Watkins, patient financial counselor, who will be

answering questions about Medicare enrollment.

The Meet and Greet for Aug. 19, sponsored by the Bandon History Museum, will feature personal stories about Holy Trinity Catholic Church by Cathy Cowan, Kathy Phillips, Bill McNeil, Alice Stadelman and Allan Converse.

The next Alive After Five Art and Wine Walk, sponsored by GBA, will be held Aug. 15 from 5 to 7 p.m., with glasses to be purchased at the glass picnic shelter on the Boardwalk. The Bandon School Board will meet Monday, Aug. 11, at 5:30 p.m. in the high school cafeteria

Louise Aleta Wilder

July 30, 1937 – July 31, 2025

Louise Aleta Wilder was born on July 30, 1937 in Roseburg, Oregon to Peter and Freda Menegat of Lakeside. The second daughter of four, she kept a tight and lasting bond with her sisters Pat (Kimbrel), Florence (Frishman) and Kathy (Reimers) throughout her life.

Louise grew up on her parent’s ranch on Lindross Arm of North Tenmile Lake in Lakeside. One of her fondest memories was riding the school boat that picked up the kids around the lake each day for school.

After graduating from Lakeside school in 8th grade, Louise attended North Bend High School, graduating in 1955. While in high school, she met her future husband Dean Wilder in Mr. Atkin’s math class her freshman year. She also developed a love for rhythm and blues music. Little Richard, Big Joe Turner and Little Willie John were among her favorites. She collected quite a few 45s from record shops in Portland while visiting her cousins and played those records throughout her life.

After high school, Louise attended Western Oregon University in Monmouth in order to become an elementary school teacher. She later transferred down to Ashland to South Western Oregon College after marrying Dean in 1958 in Reno, Nevada. She graduated in 1959 and returned to North Bend where she got a teaching job at Charleston Grade School teaching fourth grade.

After teaching at Charleston a year, Louise and Dean moved to Lakeside onto Louise’s grandparent’s ranch. They remodeled the ranch house while Louise started teaching fourth grade and remedial reading at Lakeside school.

Louise continued to teach school until her first child, Andrea (Kellner), came along in 1973. Although she continued to sub at times, Louise spent most of her time on the ranch with her family— taking care of Andrea and later Janeen (Starbuck) who came along in 1978, feeding the cows while Dean was at work, pulling weeds and spending time with her sisters and parents.

Growing up on a dairy, Louise always loved animals. She always said that you should take care of your animals before you take care of yourself. Louise especially loved horses and was big fan of cowboy author Will James. She

belonged to the Will James Society and was a 4-H Horse leader for the Hauser Dune Riders 4-H club while her daughter Janeen was in horse 4-H. She also adored cats and her lap was always prime cat real estate.

Louise also grew a large garden every year. She enjoyed canning and freezing what she grew, and especially loved cucumber salad made with two tablespoons of olive oil, one of vinegar and salt and pepper.

While not helping on the ranch, Louise was the secretary of the Lakeside Drainage District for many years. She also belonged to the Paper Doll club and collected stamps. She was preceded in death by her parents; her sister, Pat and her sister, Kathy.

Louise is survived by her husband, Dean Wilder; children, Andrea Kellner of Lakeside and Janeen Starbuck of Crane, OR; three grandchildren, Henry, Frank and Lena Starbuck, and her sister, Florence Frishman of Lakeside. A graveside service will be held at 11am, Saturday, August 23 at Sunset Memorial Park, 63060 Millington Frontage Road in Coos Bay.

Jaws’ 50th has ties to local theatre in North Bend

This year, the Steven Spielberg movie Jaws is celebrating its 50th year. And long before Roy Scheider starred in that film and uttered one of the most iconic sentences in movie history (“You’re going to need a bigger boat.”), he was performing with Little Theatre on the Bay (LTOB) in North Bend.

In the mid-1950s, Scheider, who was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force, was working at a radar station in Hauser. Once he learned about LTOB, he spent most of his spare time working at the theatre –building sets, acting, directing, whatever he could do to feed his artistic passion. He performed in classics like Dial M for Murder, Visit to a Small Planet, and My Three Angels – and in 1957, he earned an LTOB Masque Award for his performance in Nina. In an interview with

FROM THE LITTLE THEATRE ON THE BAY

The World newspaper, Scheider said, “It’s been a blessing to me. I don’t know what I would have done here without the Little Theater.”

When his Air Force service ended, Scheider, longing to become a professional actor, left the Oregon coast for New York City – and become a pro, he did, working with the New York Shakespeare Festival and landing iconic roles in films like The French Connection, All That Jazz, Marathon Man, The Rainmaker, 2001: A Space Odyssey - and, of course, Police Chief Martin Brody in Jaws.

Scheider passed away in 2008 – but the useful experience of acting (“Playing various roles, I’ve gotten insights into personalities I might never have been able to understand or sympathize with,” he told The World) lives on. So does

the thrill of live theatre –where both audiences and actors participate, creating something no movie or television screen can replicate, as Scheider was quick to point out. And while Scheider was worried LTOB was would soon fail because of television and other modern distractions, he’d be pleased to learn that Little Theatre on the Bay is still going strong – and has even established a permanent home in a historic theatre they fully restored: The Liberty Theatre in North Bend.

Little Theatre on the Bay (LTOB) formed in 1947 and is the second-oldest, continuously-operating performing arts group in Oregon. As volunteer organization and 501(c)3 nonprofit, LTOB owns and operates the historic Liberty Theatre in North Bend.

The driver of the other vehicle was 24-year-old Trenton Bernard.

On Monday, July 28, around noon, officers were paged out for a single motor vehicle accident in the area of 87944 Bills Creek Lane. A vehicle reportedly went off the road, overturned and caught fire, but everyone was said to be out of the vehicle. The name of the driver was not released.

On Aug. 1, it was announced that the Bandon Police Department, in collaboration with the Coos County Sheriff’s Office and local property owners, has

been actively addressing transient activity and unauthorized camping in the wooded area behind the Odd Fellows and the VFW cemeteries.

While investigating the area, Bandon Sergeant Noel discovered an unattended and still smoldering campfire. With assistance from Bandon Rural Fire volunteer Bryce Smith, the fire was safely extinguished.

“We urge the public to report any suspicious activity or individuals entering or exiting these woods by contacting North Coos Dispatch (nonemergent number is 541269-8911). Thank you for your continued cooperation and vigilance,” said the Bandon Police spokesman. In another press release, the department let people know that ODOT crews with heavy equipment were

working just north of

Bandon Friday to clean up a large homeless encampment that was previously posted for removal as it was on the ODOT right of way.

One of the largest earthquakes to be recorded in the last 100 years struck an area near Russia Tuesday (July 29) but fortunately there was no report of damage in Oregon and its aftermath which raised the sea levels by 1.4 feet in Port Orford, according to the National Weather Service.

The highest tsunami waves reported on California shores peaked around 4 feet in Crescent City, while the highest waves in the U.S. were 5.7 feet in Hawaii.

Later, officials said damage to the Crescent City docks amounted to

about a million dollars, but the new dock system worked as intended. “It was a sacrificial part of the overall interface and design and largely protected the other docks.”

The 1964 Alaska earthquake set off a catastrophic tsunami that devastated Crescent City, washing away 29 blocks and killing at least 11 people. There was little damage in Bandon.

* * I’ve learned that effective at noon on Aug. 29, the Bandon Community Child Care Center will close due to staffing shortages and a critical loss of funding, according to Chanel Brown. interim director. I will have more information on this next week.

* * I will also have more information on the discussion of the proposed

Road Diet, which would narrow the northbound lanes to one on Highway 101 through Bandon, while keeping two going south. The issue will come before the city
