Bridge Causes 101
During rush hour on Thursday, September 18, an accident at the top of the McCullough Bridge in North Bend blocked trafc in both directions for roughly an hour. North Bend Fire and Rescue and North Bend Police were on the scene quickly to assess damage and attempt to clear the lanes.
The jam was caused by a routine rear-ending in a very unfortunate location. Thankfully no one was seriously injured. One of the vehicles was able to drive off with the other needing to be towed. Though it was a relatively minor accident, it managed to cause major delays given it occurred in one of the County’s major traf c choke points.
The Southbound lane was able to be cleared rst allowing cars to trickle through by about 3:52 PM. The Northbound lane remained stuck leading to a backup of cars that wound down the 101 through downtown North Bend, with some reports stating that traf c extended all the way down to the Ko-Kwel Casino Resort.
The necessary response vehicles were caught in the jam, and the progress being made in the Southbound lane had to be halted to allow responders coming from the southern end of the bridge to approach the bottleneck. When they arrived at around 4:27 PM they were able to get to work on the damaged vehicle stalled in the Northbound lane.
The normal ow of traf c was nally reestablished by 4:32 PM and the jam began to unclog itself, with a huge volume of cars making their way through North Bend at the peak times for evening traf c.
“It was a great collaboration between North Bend Fire and North Bend Police,” said Asst. Fire Chief Brian Waddington, praising his team’s response.
Chamber Of Commerce Hosts County Sherriff and Commissioner for Q&A Amid Budgeting Struggles
BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor
September has seen the return of the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce’s Wednesday luncheons at the Ko-Kwel Casino Resort. In addition to providing a forum for announcements and networking opportunities to members of the local business community, each week sees a presentation of some kind. At the gathering on September 17, County Sheriff Gabe Fabrizio and County Commissioner Rod Taylor held a Q&A session to keep business leaders informed on the state of county level policing and the county’s budget struggles.
The county sheriff’s of ce has been attempting to overcome nancial hurdles, as The World has previously reported. A reported $4 million budget shortfall has led to closures of two of the jail pods alongside staff reductions in the department. The County Commissioners have been attempting to nd creative solutions after two different public safety tax levies have failed on the November and May ballots in the last year. The issue of coverage across the county was the rst raised on Wednesday, to which Fabrizio, who has held the Sheriff title since the beginning of 2023, responded candidly. His department has lost 14 employees in that time, split between the jail and patrol. These cuts have seen just 8 of cers covering the 24-hour patrols.
“We and the commissioners have all been working very collaboratively to try to gure out what it’s going to look like going forward. Thinking outside the box as best we can to try and help with the coverage. Right now, we have 8 people on the patrol. That’s 24-hour coverage for 1,621 of the 1,650 square miles of the county. Its rough. We have two people on,
somebody’s sick, somebody takes a day off, it’s a lot of overtime,” explained Fabrizio.
He went on to explain that they are nding ways to help. Recently the Forest Service and ODOT have been taking on the cost for a position covering the Elliot State Forest.
Those are very marginal gains however; there could be more cuts on the horizon given the likelihood of further shortfalls next year. Fabrizio explained that should there be further cutbacks, they would have to come from patrol.
Should they close another pod in the jail, it would see the 49 beds available now cut down to just 5, which would obviously be untenable.
“In next year’s budget cycle, which starts in February, we are most likely going to be looking at another $1.5 to $2 million cut. We’ve trimmed from every single department beyond what their capacity was to be cut. Including the surveyor, including the clerk, including attrition… The strug-
gle is real, and there just isn’t any other way to squeeze blood out of the turnip,” opened Commissioner Taylor.
“I thought the solutions to this would be more forthcoming than they are, but the constraints are so profound on us as county commissioners, and on the sheriff, that the solutions are very, very dif cult. We’re dependent on the state for about 90% of our budget, and with the money come the strings, always.”
Despite the struggles, there were some points of success worth pointing towards. First and foremost was the progress made on the sobering center, for which funds have been secured. Many nuisance and petty crimes are driven by intoxication, and with the limited space in jail, many of these offenders cannot be held over more serious perpetrators.
Of cers being able to take these offenders to the sobering center both keeps them off the street and allows for them to kick their habits, breaking neg-
ative cycles. It will be operating on the model set by Douglas County, which boasts between an 80%-90% reduction in recidivism, a number which Fabrizio said is likely an optimistic estimate but still promising.
“The justice system is a cycle; you get stuck in it. You get stuck on parole, probation, you do something wrong, you’re back in jail and it extends your time. So how do we get them out of that cycle? This is one answer to that, one solution,” explained Fabrizio. “And with the opioid funding the commissioners gave up to run it, its no cost to the general fund. So, big bene t there other than, of course, saving on the jail space itself.”
For further positives, Taylor pointed toward county departments that have been operating in the green. The County Forestry operation contributes between $2-3 million dollars in revenue to the general fund each year, which Taylor describes as a signi cant “shot in the arm” for operations.
The same could be said of the Parks Department to a smaller scale, as they are able to contribute one to two-hundred thousand dollars of their surplus to the general fund per year. Though there are pockets of optimism, the general outlook on county nances remains dif cult. The Board of Commissioners will have to continue searching for creative solutions despite the bleak state of affairs.
SepticSmart Week Shows
Why Oregon Must Fund Clean Water Loans
BY PATRICK FLYNN
As the owner of Econo Rooter Services in Coos County, I’ve spent years working with families whose septic systems have failed. I can tell you rsthand: it’s not just an inconvenience. It’s a nancial crisis, a public health threat, and an environmental hazard all rolled into one. Here on the coast, the challenges are even greater. Our land is hilly and forested, with creeks and rivers everywhere. The water table sits close to the surface.
BY J. MARK POWELL
Everyone loves a bargain, a bit of nancial good fortune to the buyer’s advantage. When it’s exceptionally good, we call it the deal of a lifetime.
Sixty years ago, a lawyer made an arrangement that he thought would quickly reap a highly pro table windfall. As so often happens, it didn’t turn out that way.
Our story begins in February 1875, when Nicolas and Marguerite Gilles welcomed daughter Jeanne into their well-to-do family in Arles in southern France.
For historical context, the United States was only 99 years old at the time; the telephone and electric light bulb hadn’t been invented; and the Statue of
That means septic repairs are complex and costly. I’ve seen projects run as high as $45,000, far beyond what the average family can afford.
Unlike a leaky roof, septic failures aren’t visible until they’re a disaster. By then, families are desperate. Some dig makeshift ditches to divert sewage. Others simply live with wastewater pooling on their property. These situations aren’t just unsafe, they threaten the streams, shell sh beds, and groundwater we all depend on.
That’s why the Clean Water Loan program matters. Since 2016, it has provided affordable loans and grants to hundreds of families across Oregon. Nearly 40% of borrowers are low-income. For many, this program is the
only option standing between them and losing their homes.
I’ve collaborated with nonpro t community lender Craft3 and DEQ for years to support homeowners with septic repairs funded by the Clean Water Loan program, and I’ve seen how the program changes lives. It also protects our environment. Every failing septic system that gets repaired prevents contamination that could harm sheries, shell sh harvesting areas, and drinking water sources.
This week is SepticSmart Week, a nationwide reminder that septic maintenance is critical for public health. In Oregon, it should also be a wake-up call to legislators. The Clean Water Loan program will run out of money by the
end of the year. State funding of at least $3.2 million will allow this program to continue to serve Oregonians. The state requires homeowners to x septic failures as soon as possible, and rightly so. But we cannot impose mandates without also providing solutions. For many families, this program is the only way to comply with the law.
I urge Governor Kotek and our legislators to act now. Restoring funding for the Clean Water Loan Program is a smart investment in housing stability, clean water, and the health of coastal communities.

HOLY COW! HISTORY: The Deal of a (Very Long) Lifetime
Liberty was still a decade away from delivery.
Nicolas was a shipbuilder, and the family lived in a coastal city on the Mediterranean. Jeanne attended private schools, painted, and played the piano. Her doting daddy brought her home for lunch each day. It was a happy, secure family environment. In 1896, when she was 21, Jeanne married Ferdinand Calment, her double second cousin (they were related on both sides of their families) and heir to a prosperous drapery business. The young couple lived in a sumptuous apartment and had servants. Jeanne cycled, swam, played tennis, and even fenced. In January 1898, their only child, daughter Yvonne, arrived. Life was good.
Yvonne grew up, married, and had a son of her own. When she died of pleurisy on her 36th birthday, Jeanne raised her son.
The family survived World War I, the worldwide Great Depression, and even German occupation during World War II. In 1942, her husband (who was
by then 73) died, reportedly of cherry poisoning.
Throughout that time, Jeanne continued living in the same home. Grandson Frederic lived next and looked after her. She eased into a comfortable old age.
A fellow resident of Arles had been eyeing her beloved apartment for a long time.
Andre-Francois Raffray was a real estate attorney, and he knew a good thing when he saw one. The apartment was in an excellent location and was worth a great deal of money.
So in 1965, when he was 47 and Jeanne was 90, he made an offer. He proposed an arrangement that the French call a viager contract. Raffray would pay Jeanne 2,500 francs every month (about $500 at the time); when she died, he would inherit her apartment at 2, Rue du Palais.
Raffray must have thought, “I just made the deal of the century! She’s 90 years old; she’ll die soon, and I’ll get the apartment for a pittance!”
And his scheme might have worked, too — if Jeanne Calment hadn’t been the Energizer Bunny of geriatrics. She kept going and going … Months turned into years, and years stretched into decades. And still the payment was made each month. By the time Raffray died in 1995 at age 77, Jeanne was 120 years old. (And Raffray’s widow was legally obligated to keep those monthly checks coming, too.)
Jeanne died two years later in 1997. Not only was she what experts call a supercentenarian, but at age 122 years and 164 days, she was the oldest person ever whose age could be documented.
Raffray not only picked the wrong little old lady for his offer … but he also chose the person who lived the longest in all recorded human history!
The arrangement came back to bite him on the bottom, too. Because Raffray wound up paying more than twice the apartment’s value over those 32 years. Some deal!

Team USA Surfer Calls for Oregon Coast Support to Grow Adaptive Surfing
Emily Purry, the only Oregonian adaptive surfer on Team USA, is on a mission to bring adaptive surfing to the Oregon Coast.
Purry, who is legally blind, began surfing at 40 and has since competed on the world stage. Now, as she represents Oregon with Team USA Para Surfing, she is calling on local coastal businesses, volunteers, and athletes to help expand opportunities for people with visual impairments and disabilities to participate in surfing.
"The Oregon Coast has some of the most beautiful waves in the world," said Purry. "I want to see them filled with athletes of all abilities. With local support, we can make the Oregon Coast a hub for adaptive surfing."
Purry is seeking:
• Local sponsors to support her Team USA journey and adaptive surf events.
• Volunteers to guide and assist disabled athletes in the surf.
• Athletes with disabilities in the Pacific Northwest who are ready to try surfing.
Her goal is to make adaptive surfing a permanent and celebrated part of Oregon's coastal culture - with support from the communities who call it home.

Bassett wins fifth title in Prefontaine Memorial Run
John Gunther For the World
For Jared Bassett, 10 kilometers is a short racing distance and roads is not his preferred surface for running.
But Bassett loves running the Prefontaine Memorial Run and on Saturday became the first five-time winner of the event, finishing the 10K course in 32 minutes and 37 seconds.
“The last time I ran 10K was probably the last time I was here,” said Bassett, the former Marshfield standout and University of Portland All-American. That was back in 2019 (he also won in 2016, 2014 and 2008).
Bassett, who lives in Portland, runs primarily trail races now, and his favorite distance is 50 kilometers (a little over 31 miles). But he is preparing for the Portland Marathon, where he hopes to run fast enough to qualify for the Boston and New York marathons.
His fifth title came in the 44th annual race honoring Marshfield legend Steve Prefontaine. All finishers received a medal because this year also marked the 50th year since Prefontaine’s death.
Keeton Sanchez of Monmouth finished second overall in 32:57 and Henry Domnarski of Ware, Mass., was third in 33:02.
The first South Coast runner, and fourth overall, was Samuel Dannenbring of North Bend (34:06), followed by Finn Granger of Arcata, Calif. (34:26) and John Hinkel of Coos Bay (36:16).
The women’s champion was North Bend resident Jennifer Dannenbring, who finished 19th overall (41:04). She was followed by Klamath Union runner Hallie Pyfer (41:16) and 12-year-old Isabelle Smith of Coos Bay (45:05), who was 30th overall.
Fourth among females was another former Marshfield standout, Janet Stamper Holland, who now lives in Tucson, Ariz. She finished 45th overall and set a new age-group record in the 65-69 age group with her time of 47:01, her third different age-group record. Coquille’s Lexie Jones-Ortega was fifth among women and 50th overall in 47:19.
A total of 434 runners and walkers completed the course and another 77 people took part in the 2-mile fun walk.
Other age-group records set Saturday included Jerry Roberts of Myrtle Point in the 7074 age group (44:29) and Joann Hall of Marceline, Mo., in the 80-89 age group (1:14:38). Tom Brown of Bandon continued his streak of running in every edition of the race. Until Saturday, Mike Lehman of Coos Bay also had run every race, but a recent medical procedure kept him out of this year’s race.

Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right 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 or 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 sale. 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. In construing this notice, the masculine gender includes the feminine and the neuter, the singular includes plural, the word “Grantor” includes any successor in interest to the Grantor as well as any other persons owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said Trust Deed, the words “Trustee” and “Beneficiary” includes their respective successors in interest, if any.

Oregon’s Sea Otter Awareness Week: Celebrate, Learn, and Take Action
FROM THE ELAKHA ALLIANCE
The Elakha Alliance, an Oregon non-pro t working to restore sea otters to the Oregon coast, invites the public to celebrate Sea Otter Awareness Week (SOAW) September 21–27, 2025. SOAW is facilitated by a coalition of organizations including Sea Otter Savvy, Defenders of Wildlife, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, California Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Elakha Alliance, all working together to inspire deeper awareness of these unique marine mammals, their ecological importance, and the challenges they face.
In Oregon, the Elakha Alliance will collaborate with local partners - the Oregon Zoo, Oregon Coast Aquarium, Fullerton Winery & Tasting Room, Artsea Craftsea, and 7 Devils Brewery - to host in-person events that connect communities to sea otter conservation.
This year’s theme, “Anchored
in Hope,” provides a metaphor for optimism, stability, and security in a challenging world.
Oregon’s 2025 Sea Otter Awareness Week activities (see www.elakhaalliance. org/events for details & more events outside of the South Coast):
•Monday Sept 22nd, 6pm: Webinar: Sea Otters on the Horizon: How Biologists Are Getting Oregon Ready (featuring Oregon Zoo, Oregon Coast Aquarium, and Elakha Alliance)
•Tuesday Sept 23rd, 12pm-1pm:
Float Down the Coast Live Stream at the Oregon Zoo
•Thursday Sept 25th, 7pm-9pm: Sea Otter Sip & Paint Night at 7 Devils Brew-
ery (Coos Bay)
•Friday Sept 26th, 6pm-9pm: Artsea Craftsea Sea Otter Paint Night Bene tting Elakha Alliance (Newport)
•Saturday Sept 27th, 10am-3pm: Sea Otter Viewing Station & Education at Oregon Coast Aquarium (Newport)
Sea otters, once plentiful on the Oregon coast, were hunted nearly to extinction for their lush furs by the early 1900s. A few surviving animals in California and Alaska enabled the population of sea otters to rebound in some places. However, they remain absent in their former habitats on the Oregon and northern California coasts, a stretch of nearly 800 miles.
The Elakha Alliance’s mission is to make Oregon’s marine and coastal ecosystems and communities more robust and resilient by restoring a healthy population of sea otters to the Oregon coast. Feasibility studies completed in 2022 by the Elakha Alliance and the US Fish and Wildlife Service found that there would be ecological and economic bene ts from returning sea otters to the region due to their importance in protecting kelp forests which are critical habitat for many marine species, including sh caught in commercial and recreational harvest. Additional studies indicate that the return of sea otters would provide economic bene ts to Oregon coast communities, including boosts to travel and tourism industries. To learn more, visit OregonSeaOtters.org or follow @ ElakhaAlliance on Instagram.

“What we’re trying to do for you all as commissioners is get you to look at the reality of the situation you are in at the Port, including all of your assets, all of your responsibilities, all of your incomes, etc.” opened Points.
“When you get to a point where you’re not creating a lot more revenue than expenses, there’s times where you need to have hard conversations. I think you all need to have hard conversations about some of the assets you have, and what the best play is for those so that you can focus on what your top priorities are.”
A comprehensive draft of the roughly 150-page report is expected on September 30, after a long information gathering period that began back in April 2025. After hosting town halls and receiving responses to community surveys, alongside a huge amount of inventorying and data collection, Points was able to summarize their findings to the commission.
900 people responded to the Points survey between May and August this year, in addition to individual interviews with community stakeholders of all kinds. These ranged from local government officials like Coos Bay Mayor Joe Benetti and City Manager Nicole Rutherford, to business figures like Bay Area Chamber of Commerce Director Rosey Thomas. Interviews also
were sure to included dissenting voices like Jan Hodder, Mike Greybill, Christine Moffitt, and Steve Miller, who have been loudly questioning the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port (PCIP) project.
And there were some interesting takeaways. Despite the survey showing some general dissatisfaction with port operations, 55.4% of respondents said they supported further development on Port-owned land, with only 18.7% against it and the rest noncommittal. The investments they would most support were focused around the Charleston Marina, Coos Bay Rail Line (CBRL), and PCIP project.
“My takeaway from this is that it is not the case that the community is anti-development,” stated Points. “Now, a lot of that is: what it is, where it is, when it is, how much it costs… but that’s a positive. It’s not true to say that the community doesn’t want to see more economic development happen with the assets that you have or have the opportunity to work on.”
Digging into the data shows that the export value at the port has fluctuated greatly over the last two decades, but generally has trended upwards. In comparison with the Port of Portland, Coos Bay looks relatively strong in this area, but there are some clear growth opportunities.
Interestingly, the commodity shipping out of the port is overwhelmingly wood and wood product, making up 98.5% of the value of exports since 2003. The average number of commodity groups shipped out of the port has been shrinking, showing a continued trend toward increased reliance on those wood commodities. From 2003-2013 the Port averaged 8.8 different commodity groups, which has shrunk down to 3.5 from 2014-2024.
Points pointed out that the way the port has been
displaying its data has potentially led the public to misunderstand how profitable, or not, some of their assets are. Using the Charleston Marina as an example, Points pointed out this discrepancy.
Looking at the income statement from the port’s internal data would show that the Charleston Marina is just about breaking even, if not slightly in the red, but this data doesn’t account for costs indexed in the Special Project Fund which hides over $13 million in the marina’s costs. Representing that more accurately in that data would paint a clearer picture of the true profitability of some of these assets.
“It’s hiding something else that’s very important here. When you look at the Special Projects Data, that’s where all the cost is. [There is a] huge gap, huge gap. We’ve heard it said, ‘well we can’t really invest in the Charleston Marina, because its not really paying for itself’,” explained Points.
“Doesn’t really look like it from the top chart, but that’s obscuring the fact that there’s $13 million of special projects that are directly attributable to the Charleston Marina. Just a change in how this is shown to the public is going to make them understand the situation so much better.”
Points went on to have the commissioners engage in a goal setting activity that involved writing out their visions for each of the port’s properties and assets that will be used to further develop the strategic vision moving forward. The World will update this story after the full draft of the report is made public to give a better idea of the steps the port will be taking in regards to setting a path to making their assets profitable again.
As I See It
“Coast Guard station is commissioned here” was the headline on the Nov. 21, 1963, Western World.
“The Coquille River Lifeboat station, which had not been manned for 13 years, was commissioned Tuesday by the group commander of the Yaquina bay group. Of cer in charge of the station ( rst photo) will be Wayne Gage, Boatswain’s Mate First Class, who has moved with his family into the station’s living quarters. He will have charge of the men who will number 13 at full complement, including ve petty of cers, three of whom are married.
“The local personnel have moved from Port Orford Lifeboat station which has been abandoned, except for a boat which has been retained in Port Orford.”
A few weeks before the Bandon Fire, an article in the Sept. 17, 1936, Western World said the members of the Coos Cranberry Cooperative met for a picnic dinner at the H.H. Dufort marsh. Cranberry growers were urged to attend a meeting in Coquille to talk about bringing federal money into this part of the state for improvements, like ood control, rural electri cation and intensi ed farming.
“The opening price set by the American Cranberry Exchange is $2.90 per quarter barrel. This is the highest opening price since 1930. It is due largely to the fact that the eastern early black crop is considerably shorter this year than last dropping from 57 cents to 53 cents.
“Picking (second photo) will commence in this section of the county when Ennis Loshbaugh starts Sept. 15.
A.T. Morrison expects to begin about Sept. 28. Dufort and Baker plan to begin about the same time.
Sumner Fish plans to begin picking on Oct. 1.”
Dufort, who served years on the city council, was my grandfather, and I have heard the stories of how they survived on their cranberry bog with my
grandfather in a cranberry watering hole and my father lying on the oor of an asbestos packing shed as the re swept through the area. I am not sure what impact the re had on the cranberry crop, but I am sure it was disastrous.
The third photo was taken in May of 1961 and appeared in a full page ad for an open house at Southern Coos Hospital, which opened in 1960.
Four of the ve hospital board members, Carl Lorenz, Edgar Capps, Margaret Dean and John Fasnacht, admire the view from the back of the hospital property. The fth board member and chair, Dr. B.E. Grant, was not present.
Today that property is part of several parcels, including the Edgewater’s Building, that is for sale by the Picerne group for $15.5 million dollars.
* * * As I write this, a very successful Cranberry Festival is winding down, starting with Thursday night’s crowning of Brooklin Butts, daughter of Meghan and Rory Butts, as the Cranberry Queen. Princesses were Safaa Dimitruk and Lillianna Gonzalez. Brooklin’s speech about childhood cancer, which she survived as a young child, after being diagnosed at 3 years old, was extremely moving and drew a huge applause from the audience. She remembered how the community had rallied around her and her family during the dif cult years that followed.
The Tiger football team beat Gaston 45-6 on Friday night, after opening the season the previous week by defeating Waldport 49-0
I don’t think I have ever heard as many positive comments about the Festival as I have this year: ranging from “love it back in Old Town,” “love the new con guration with stages and food courts at both ends of town, “overall just a big hit,” and the list goes on and on... topped with beautiful

weather both days in spite of a squall of thunder, lighting and lots of rain late Saturday night.
Sunday afternoon, Lori Osborne hosted an allschool reunion at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse, which was attended by a big group of Bandon High School graduates, many of whom had come from out-of-town for the event. The Class of 1965 also held their 60-year reunion, gathering Friday night at the Bandon History Museum to reminisce.
* * * Saturday’s festivities, which included a very popular street dance, ended in tragedy when two people, ages 71 and 66, were hit by a vehicle at around 9 p.m. while crossing the highway at Delaware near Pastries and Pizza.
Upon arriving on scene, Sergeant Noel, and Of cers Carpenter and Price provided aid to the couple, who a Facebook poster Tinisha Baldwin, said were her parents. The press release from the Bandon Police Department said their identities have been withheld due to an ongoing evaluation of their injuries. Both were transported to Bay Area Hospital for further care.
The driver, a 34-yearold Langlois woman, Marion McDonald, was interviewed at the scene along with several other witnesses. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, said the police report.
* * * As a service to the community, I have asked that the Sept. 8 school board meeting be available on Bandon.tv, and Mongo

said it would be available until Wednesday, or it can be accessed through the school district’s website. At the close of the meeting, under public comments, a number of people spoke, including Dr. Ann Kellogg, Amber Burg, teacher Kevin Hahn, Cory Stewart, Zoe Bradbury DeSurra, retired teacher Sue Dodrill, Barry Winters, and BEA president Jen Ells, who had asked to be on the agenda to discuss ongoing concerns, but was denied by the board chair.
* * * In further news, Nicole Guzman, who has taught middle school English for ve years, has given her 60-day notice of resignation, per the contract. “This has been a very challenging decision, and one I don’t take lightly. My heart is with the Bandon kids. I plan on doing what I can to make the transition a smooth one, for the sake of the kids,” Guzman told me.
Earlier Ashley Pearson, whose BHS speech team won state last year, resigned after being reassigned to the middle school. Several weeks ago, teacher Kate Hawthorne also resigned but is ful lling her 60-day notice requirement.
* * * I learned this week that former Bandon resident Sonny Querry, a member of the BHS Class of 1967, had died. Among his survivors are his wife Chris, eldest daughter Courtney Freitag, owner of Vicki G’s Hair Salon, and daughter Nicole Mayer. A celebration of life, with a church service and the USMC Service Honor Guard, will be held at the Charleston Church, 63330 Boat Basin Road, on Oct. 11. Fred Gernandt let me know this week that Deneice (Denny) Kappos had died Sept. 10 in Santa Rosa, Calif., at the age of 90. Denny and her late husband Chris had been involved in real estate and development when they lived in Bandon, and she was active with the Chamber of Commerce. She is survived by at least one son.
* * * I have heard that someone is spreading a rumor that I no longer support Food and Faith, which could not be further from the truth. Several weeks ago, F&F representatives Sheila Howe and Marissa Nuez had approached City Manager Torrey Contreras asking his support for the city to help fund a community
coordinator. He asked for my opinion, and I said I would not address it until I had spoken with the police chief. I learned that 60 percent of the police calls involve people who are unhoused, and his hope was that we could provide resources for them to relocate to where they have family, friends or services are available that we cannot provide.
Howe explained that there are 600 unhoused individuals in the county, and she said that onethird of them are mentally ill and one third struggle with substance use disorders, pointing out a need for care coordination.
One of my concerns was that there are a number of non-pro ts in the community, and outside of Revenue Sharing funds (which Food and Faith also receive), the City does not fund a coordinator for any of the other organizations. I did tell the city manager that possibly we could increase the amount of money that we give them from revenue sharing, and he agreed.
For a number of reasons, I did not feel this was something the city should be doing at this time, knowing that they have broad support from the faith community and local businesses and individuals. But that, in no way, meant I would not continue to support their efforts to aid those in need.
“If there is a program somewhere else that works that we can piggy back off of, we can consider it in the future and during the next budget cycle,” said the police chief.
* * * City Councilor Geri Procetto wants to remind people not to fall for the scam that recently cost her $1400 in gift cards, that were purchased at the request of the local “Catholic priest,” who was himself the victim of a scam that used his name to ask one of his parishioners to help him. Which she did. Even though when she purchased the gift cards, they advised her not to scratch off the numbers until the gift cards were used, “Father Anthony” told her to scratch off the numbers, so she did. By the time she gured out it was a scam, and they had asked for an additional $2400 in Target gift cards, they had obtained all but $1 of the $1400 gift card amounts.
The word “gift cards” is a bright red ag that the email is from a scammer. I immediately posted a warning on Facebook letting other Holy Trinity church members know that they might also get a similar email.
Chief Cory Dhillon suggested that they nd a city that has a program and a position already in place that we could talk to and see if it’s realistic and sustainable. But Bandon does not have the funding to do exploration pilot programs, he said.
