Mayors, chamber endorse Public Safety Levy

BY DEAN BRICKEY For The World

COQUILLE — Every mayor in Coos County and the Bay Area Chamber of Commerce have endorsed the Public Safety Levy that Coos County Commissioners have placed on the May 21 Primary Election ballot.

John Sweet, Coos County commissioner, said the leaders of the Coos County Democratic Party also have endorsed the levy, which asks county voters to approve a fiveyear tax levy of 98 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. County officials say the measure would raise $5.7 million the first year. The money would be dedicated to increasing the capacity of the Coos County Jail and hiring two new deputy district attorneys.

“One thing that I sense

has been under-discussed is the positive impact of the levy on people whose crimes do not warrant incarceration,” Sweet said. Our Parole and Probation

Department has significant addiction and behavioral counseling available, particularly to those whose crimes and behavior do not warrant incarceration.

Right now, the county has over eight times more people in Parole and Probation than in jail.” Sweet said the county Parole & Probation

Department’s capacity is for more than 600 people, yet the staff is serving just a few more than 400. That’s because “the county cannot afford

Guns, money, drugs recovered after arrest

The Coos Bay Police Department made an arrest and recovered a significant amount of cash, firearms, and suspected drugs after executing search warrants on 36-year-old Matthew Medeiros in Coos Bay.

In the afternoon on Saturday April 13, 2024, the North Coos 9-1-1 Center received a tip that a man was idling his car in the parking lot of the Boys & Girls Club of Southwestern Oregon in Coos Bay. The caller described that the man seemed unable to stay awake and inferred drugs may be involved.

Before officers arrived on the scene, the man fled the vehicle leaving a bottle of suspected drugs behind. After arriving, officers were able to track down and detain Medeiros. They found a taser and a large quantity of cash, which prompted CBPD to apply for and execute a search warrant on the vehicle.

The search yielded multiple suspected narcotics and four firearms, one of which turned out to be stolen. Upon executing a warrant on Medeiros’ home in Coos Bay, they discovered 21 firearms, a substantial load of cash, and substances suspected to be fentanyl powder, methamphetamine, and heroin. Officers also found property both suspected and confirmed to be stolen.

Medeiros was transported to Coos County Jaul and held on a number of charges:

• Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine

• Unlawful Possession of Heroin

• Unlawful Possession of Fentanyl

• Attempted Delivery of Methamphetamine

• Attempted Delivery of Heroin

•

• Attempted Delivery of Fentanyl

• 25 counts of Felon in Possession of a Firearm

• Felon in Possession of a Restricted Weapon

Coast Guard Cutter Orcas decommissioned after 35 years of service in Coos Bay

The Coast Guard decommissioned the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Orcas (WPB1327) during a ceremony, Tuesday.

Rear Adm. Charles Fosse, the commander of the Thirteenth Coast Guard District, presided over the ceremony honoring the 35 years of service Orcas and its crews provided to the nation. Commissioned on April 14, 1989, Orcas was the twentyseventh Island-Class cutter to join the fleet.

Orcas has been stationed in Coos Bay, Oregon, since 1989 and is the sixth Coast Guard cutter to be stationed in Coos Bay since 1935.

The Orcas was a multimission platform that

conducted operations to support search and rescue response, marine environmental protection, and national defense.

“From training allied nation maritime forces, conducting the largest-ever cocaine seizure in the history of the Pacific Northwest, and saving countless lives and hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of property on the Pacific OceanOrcas has done it all,” said Lt. Brendan O’Farrell, the commanding officer of the Orcas. “This ship, one of the last of its kind, is an old American-made workhorse built to endure the harsh Pacific waves. I’m extremely proud and blessed to have served with the finest crew in the fleet.”

enough prosecutors to handle the level of criminal activity we are experiencing,” he said.

Nathan Cramer Douthit

We lost our treasured husband, father, grandpa, friend and renaissance scholar, Nathan Cramer Douthit, on April 16. 2024. Nathan started life in Clarinda, Iowa with parents John Warren and Anna Douthit. After serving abroad during WW II, Warren moved his family to Central Point, Oregon. Nathan excelled at academics, played all sports, rode horses with his parents and worked summers in pear orchards and in the woods. After graduating from high school he joined ROTC and moved across country to earn a degree at Harvard. He followed his undergraduate degree with four years in the Marine Corps, retiring with the rank of Captain.

In 1963 he started graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley. A blind date led to his future wife of sixty years, Eva Hovde, newly arrived from Norway. After receiving his doctorate in American History, Nathan, Eva and son Randall moved to Coos Bay, Oregon, where Nathan taught at Southwest Oregon Community College until he retired in 1997 as Professor Emeritus of History and Political Science. The family enjoyed exploring back roads, hiking beaches and dunes and Nathan became interested in the rich local history of the south coast where he used to vacation with his parents every summer. He self published The Coos Bay Region, 18901944; life on a coastal frontier, as well as A Guide to Oregon South Coast History; traveling the Jedediah Smith trail. The latter was republished by Oregon State University, which also published his book Uncertain Encounters; Indians and Whites at Peace and War in Southern Oregon, 1820’s-1860’s. The copyright for the Coos Bay Region is now owned by the Coos History Museum.

Nathan also became passionately involved in developing the old Marshfield

Bill Stieber

September 6, 1939 – April 16, 2024

William “Bill” Stieber passed away at his home in Reedsport, Oregon on April 16, 2024.

Bill was born on September 6, 1939, in Chicago, Illinois to parents Oscar and Anna Stieber. He grew up in Melrose Park, IL, with his siblings Leo and Kim. He was an above average student and began his career at United Parcel Service.

Bill married the love of his life, Betty, on July 5, 1975, in New Orleans. Theirs was a once in a lifetime love.

Bill worked for and eventually retired from the United Parcel Service. He was sent to many exciting places for his training, and liked to say that after 37 years, he had a Doctorate in parcel delivery. He loved running, motorbikes, working on his property, and testing his luck. He loved playing (and winning) at the casino, but most of all he loved spending time with his family. He was especially proud of his children, Teri, Chuck, John, and Billy, all of whom were taught good work ethics, integrity, and the importance of family.

Bill is survived by his wife: Betty, Children: Teri, Chuck and Diana, Billy and Suzie, grandchildren: Nicole and Brad, Phillip and Candace, Christen and Ben, Cole, Blythe and Brandon, and Brandon and Brittany, great grandchildren Blakely, Kennedy, Charlotte, Payton, Aden, Brianne, Parker, Christopher, Hunter,

Sun building on Front Street into a working printing museum where he loved to set type for his poetry and give tours to interested visitors and school groups.

In 1999, with the birth of Laurel, the first grandchild, Eva and Nathan moved to Portland. Ella completed the family in 2002. In addition to enjoying watching the children grow, Nathan took full advantage of Portland’s cultural scene, attending plays, symphony and opera, but his favorite hang out was downtown Powells where you could find him searching for titles that explored the elusive concept of what it means to be human.

Nathan is predeceased by his parents and survived by his wife, Eva, his son Randall, daughter in law Sharon (Vojta) and grandchildren Laurel and Ella. We all miss him dearly but are so grateful for the good memories.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to either the Marshfield Sun Association or the Coos History Museum.

Colton, and Brantley, sister Kim and sister in laws Lynne, Adless and Lisa, brothers in law: George, Matthew, and Ricky, nieces: Caryn, Dione, Lisa, Michelle, nephews: George, Matthew, Jake, and Sebastian.

He is preceded in death by his mother Anna, father Oscar, mother-in-law Ella Rita, brother Leo, son John, sister-in-law Dottie, and brother-in-law Al.

A memorial service will be held at Dunes Memorial Chapel on Saturday, April 27, 2024 at 2:00pm. He is so loved and will be missed dearly by many.

110

A critical component of Measure 110 directed 70% of Oregon’s cannabis tax revenue to SUD treatment and recovery, making expansions in care possible for organizations such as Morrison Child & Family Services.

The group was able to hire six additional parent mentors in Multnomah, Clatsop, Clackamas and Washington counties. The additional staff has so far helped 52 more people get 1-on-1 support with substance use and navigate the child welfare system. The new mentors will allow the program to reach 84 more clients at a given time. The parent mentor program at Morrison Child & Family

Services began in 2005 and boasts 46 mentors across seven counties. Each mentor serves 12-to-14 clients and typically spends six to 12 months providing support.

Morrison parent mentor Matthew Porter said his clients often have a “lifetime of trauma,” and the support he provides often includes joining court hearings and family decision meetings, maintaining relationships with parents during treatment or incarceration, connecting parents with community resources such as housing and recovery options, and guiding parents through the stressors of recovery while caring for their family. He emphasized the importance of empowering

the client. “We’re just meeting them where they’re at,” Porter said. “They do the work, and we’re just supporting them through it –it’s a beautiful thing to watch.”

Prior to the funding received through Measure 110, the organization’s parent mentors had to wait for a referral from a caseworker to work with a client. It was a hurdle that often delayed support. Now, Porter said, “there is an advantage being a mentor through Measure 110.”

In addition to getting referrals from the recovery community and community partners, now mentors can attend preliminary hearings, speak to a parent directly, and the parent can “self-refer” if they are

interested.

One of Porter’s clients has been going to a group SUD recovery program for six months, and, without prompting, recently expressed interest in trying inpatient SUD treatment. Porter can connect the client with a local residential treatment facility through a “warm hand-off.”

In addition to its client-led philosophy, Morrison Child & Family Services intentionally recruits a diverse team to reflect the communities it serves. A large percentage of clients are from Black and Brown communities. The organization matches mentors who share child welfare and SUD experience, and also share cultural backgrounds. About half

of Morrison’s parent mentors are bilingual.

“Having someone who looks like them, who has gone through the system, the trust gets built faster, and that same person helping them find their voice – it’s magnetic,” said Belinda Kjensrud, peer supervisor at Morrison Child & Family Services.

BRAVE WIN: Reedsport seized control of Class 2A-1A District 4 with its second win of the season over Bandon, beating the Tigers 14-5 last week.

It was Reedsport’s 11th win in a row and kept the Brave perfect in league play at 8-0.

Reedsport’s game against Eddyville on Friday was postponed. The Brave are scheduled to host Siletz Valley on Tuesday and Waldport on Friday this week.

Bandon, which saw a sixgame win streak snapped, was scheduled to face Toledo on Friday and Brookings-Harbor in a nonleague game Monday. The Tigers, 6-2, visit Eddyville on Tuesday and host Gold Beach on Friday this week.

Myrtle Point picked up a big win over Waldport 5-3 last Monday and beat Siletz Valley 9-3 a day later.

But the Bobcats, 5-4 in league play, fell 6-5 at Gold Beach on Friday and this week face Toledo in a big game Tuesday and are at Eddyville on Friday. Toledo, Reedsport and Bandon handed Myrtle Point its three league losses, all in close games.

Waldport is 6-3 and Myrtle Point 5-4, with Toledo at 4-4 and Gold Beach at 4-5. The league gets three automatic playoff berths. Three teams statewide also will earn atlarge berths based on power rankings, but Myrtle Point, Toledo and Gold Beach would need to see their rankings jump significantly to have a chance for one of those spots.

SKY-EM LEAGUE: North Bend’s losing streak grew to three games when Junction City beat the Bulldogs 9-1 last week. North Bend fell to 4-4 in league play heading into a busy week.

The Bulldogs also face Hidden Valley in a nonleague game Wednesday and host

Marshfield for a key doubleheader Thursday. North Bend hosts Pleasant Hill in a nonleague game Saturday.

The Pirates beat Cottage Grove 10-6 and topped Coquille in a nonleague game 5-4 last week. Marshfield is 3-6 in league heading into a Tuesday game against Marist Catholic and Thursday’s doubleheader against North Bend. The Pirates also host North Valley in a nonleague doubleheader next week.

Junction City is 8-1 in league play and Marist Catholic 5-2. North Bend and the Pirates are next in the standings.

The loss to Marshfield was Coquille’s only game during the week. The Red Devils are at St. Mary’s on Tuesday and host Glide on Saturday in a pair of Far West League doubleheaders.

“The Public Safety Levy will add prosecutors, which will result not only in more people being incarcerated, but also in potentially more being assigned to Parole & Probation.

April 30 is the deadline to register to vote or to change party affiliation for the May Primary Election. The Coos County Elections Department will mail ballots to all registered voters by May 2.

County Counsel Colton Totland said commissioners directed county staff Jan. 16 to prepare a ballot title for the proposed levy. He said Sheriff Gabriel “Gabe” Fabrizio and Megan Simms, county finance director, collaborated on it.

Fabrizio announced this month the Coos County Jail would double its capacity to 98 beds on April 27. He called the expansion a “significant milestone, which will enable us to better serve our community and contribute to a safer Coos County.”

Since Fabrizio was elected in 2022, he and his command staff have worked to replace corrections and patrol deputies who were lost to attrition, retirements, and better-paying departments.

“This levy will open one more pod, requiring seven corrections deputies, two more assistant cooks and one more control-room operator,” he said, “and two more deputy district attorneys.”

Tax funds received as a result of the levy would be placed in a restricted public safety fund that would be audited annually. Audit results would be made public, Totland said, adding that the levy, if voters approve it, would expire June 30, 2029. The levy would allow the sheriff to expand the jail from 98 to 147 beds and would add two county prosecutors. County Commissioner Robert “Bob” Main said the county has a $4 million shortfall and that’s why the commissioners are asking voters to approve the tax measure. The county’s annual property tax receipts of $6 million “doesn’t even cover the cost of running the jail,” he said. “The general fund can’t even survive keeping the jail open. In the past, taxes weren’t raised because of revenue from timber receipts.”

County Treasurer Megan Simms said the jail’s annual expenditures total more than $7.8 million.

Since the beginning of 2023, the Sheriff’s Office has rehired 27 percent of overall staff, and these deputies have been trained at the state’s Department of Public Safety Standards and Training Academy in Salem.

“The Coos County Sheriff’s Office is excited about adding this additional jail space, which will assist the Sheriff’s Office and local law enforcement agencies in combating crime within Coos County and beyond,” Fabrizio said.

The jail’s capacity had been just 48 beds, but on Feb. 12 the sheriff swore in the last corrections deputy needed to increase the inmate capacity to 98.

Sweet said he thinks “this is one of the most important actions that this board has proposed in the 10-11 years that I’ve been a commissioner.” He said the district attorney’s office is backlogged 1,400 cases. Even if suspects were prosecuted, he said, they likely wouldn’t go to jail unless they were convicted of a serious felony.

If voters approve the tax measure, the owner of a property assessed at $200,000 would pay $196 per year ($16.33 per month) to support the jail and the district attorney’s office, according to information prepared by Fabrizio and District Attorney Paul Frasier. A property assessed at $300,000 would pay $294 per year (or $24.50 per month).

The stairs are in one of the portions of the Cell Block 2A at the Coos County Jail, which opened Saturday, April 27, leading to an upper tier of rooms. The fencing on the upper tier is in place to prevent people from jumping or throwing items from above, Sheriff Gabriel “Gabe” Fabrizio said.
