Coos Bay receives Oregon Heritage All-Star Community Designation

For the World

Coos Bay has been designated by the Oregon Heritage Commission as an “Oregon Heritage All-Star Community.”

The commission created the All-Star program to recognize the strong efforts by communities to broadly preserve and develop heritage resources.

An All-Star designation requires that communities meet at least 15 of 24 criteria related to local heritage. These include heritage tourism efforts, historic preservation programs, photo and document archives, museums, historic cemeteries, historic downtowns and more.

“Coos Bay has a long and broad history,” said Katie Henry coordinator for the Oregon Heritage Commission.

“The efforts of the city, tribes, museums, businesses, and community members in preserving and sharing local history contributes to the economy and livability of Coos Bay.”

A representative of the Oregon Heritage Commission will formally acknowledge the designation at the Coos Bay City Council work session on July 23, 2024 at 6 p.m.

Mayor Benetti stated “This designation is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our community in preserving Coos Bay’s rich heritage, we are honored to receive this recognition and are committed to continuing our efforts in celebrating and safeguarding our

history for future generations.”

The city is required to maintain at least 15 of the criteria to maintain the Heritage All-Star status. Technical assistance will be provided to Coos Bay to maintain, sustain and expand the heritage offerings and facilities. The city joins seven other All-Star communities including Albany, Astoria, Bend, Cottage Grove, Oregon City, Roseburg, and Salem.

The Oregon Heritage Commission works to secure, sustain and enhance Oregon’s heritage. The Commission sponsors heritage initiatives that educate the public about the value of heritage and celebrate the state’s diversity.

The Oregon Heritage Commission consists of nine members appointed by the governor and nine agency advisors. Members are chosen from state agencies and statewide organizations, and represent a diverse geographical and heritage background.

Assistance is available for communities seeking to acquire Heritage All-Star Community status. Oregon Heritage of Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, which houses the Oregon Heritage Commission, offers technical support, workshops, grants and other resources for all heritage projects in the state. To learn more, visit www.oregonheritage.org or contact Kuri Gill at Kuri. Gill@oprd.oregon.govc or 503986-0685.

Celebrate our history and enjoy two full weeks of live musical and educational events at locations throughout the bay area.

The festival continues its long tradition of providing a local artist’s unique image to accompany the programs within a theme. The 2024 image “Our Estuary, Our Community” was created by Susan Chambers to illustrate the plants and animals that live within our estuary community. With this colorful image, Susan shouts out to the several milestones of our human community cel-

ebrated this year including the 150th anniversary of Coos Bay/Marsh eld; the 100th Anniversary of Oregon Institute of Marine Biology; and the 50th anniversary of South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve with selected “Easter eggs” within the poster.

The posters will be available for sale at events, and at the OCMA Of ce during and after the festival.

Schedule of Events Week 2- July 21-26

Mipso at the Boathouse. Sunday July 21 @ 2pm.

OIMB Boathouse, Charleston

$25. Tickets @ 7 Devils

7 Devils Brewing hosts the musicians of Mipso for a special concert at the Boathouse overlooking beautiful Coos Bay. The North Carolina quartet formed in Chapel Hill and is known for combining a traditional string band format with close harmony and a variety of modern in uences. Mipso’s uent blend of folk in uences and electric experimentation–and the presence of three distinct lead singers–calls to mind Fleetwood Mac or The Grateful Dead or The Band or Fairport Convention, bands made up of strong personalities who relish the special recipe they have together, and who love pop earworms as much as old, hand-me-down melodies.

A life fully lived, a race ran well, he will be missed by all those who knew him. “Love your neighbor as thy self” epitomized Steve’s life. A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

2024 Festival Finale: Orchestra II "From the New World"

Martin Majkut, Guest Conductor. Saturday, July 27@ 7:30 p.m. Marshfield High School Auditorium, Coos Bay

This concert conducted by Majkut, born in Czechoslovakia, begins with the Vltava (Moldau in German) written by Bedřich Smetana. Smetana introduced Czech music to the classical music world as a unique voice, distinct from the Germanic tradition that dominated the European scene in the 19th century. Vltava is a fabulous journey of the longest river in Czech Republic that eventually leads to the Elbe and finally to the North Sea. It is commonly referred to as the "Czech national river, and this is where Four Sea Interludes come in. The music is extracted from the opera Peter Grimes, written by Benjamin Britten. The story takes the audience to the shores of Britain – although one may as well imagine the coast of Oregon. The last piece performed on Saturday will be the New World Symphony by Dvořák. This is filled with the sounds America is made of as Dvořák’s instincts led him to exploration of Native American and African American music. This composition attempts to highlight two contrasting elements –the exciting promise of a new land and a wistful look back – and find a higher unity woven from Dvořák’s unsurpassable melodies. Everyone can appreciate this lovely journey of compositions provided by our guest conductor for our community and visitors.

Orchestra Concert I; James Paul Conductor, Steven Moeckel, Violin "A Song of Light": The Lark Ascending. James Paul, conductor, Steven Moeckel, violin.

Tuesday, July 23 @ 7:30 p.m.

Marshfield High School Auditorium, Coos Bay

Welcome the full 80-piece OCMA Festival Orchestra to the stage of Marshfield auditorium, for the first of three concerts. The Overture from Yoeman of the Guard by Arthur Sullivan is the first selection, followed by Ralph Vaughan William’s “the Lark Ascending” with soloist Steven Moeckel. The final selection is the Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 2 in e, Op. 27. This symphony, written on a grand scale and replete with glorious, long-lined melodies, is a model of perfect construction. Rachmaninoff's instinctive sense of perfect form and balance insured that none of the symphony's materials overstay their welcome nor feel redundant or tired upon a return. The finale is as finely-wrought a symphonic round-up as ever was created. At the completion of the performance, the audience is invited to attend a reception to honor the years of superb leadership provided by Maestro James Paul as music director. We are proud to name Maestro Paul as our OCMA Conductor Emeritus.

Pops Concert. Music by American Composers.

Adam Stern, Conductor Aaron Johnson, clarinet and saxophone.

Thursday, July 25 @ 7:30 p.m. Marshfield High School Auditorium, Coos Bay George Gershwin, describing his aims in composing Rhapsody in Blue, wrote that he sought to evoke "a musical kaleidoscope of America — of our vast melting-pot." Inspired by Gershwin's ideal, our 2024 "Pops" program, Music by American Composers, will be an overview of the many and varied types of music that has originated on our soil: popular, classical, musical theater, spirituals, film and television scores, and jazz. In the latter genre, clarinet and saxophone virtuoso Aaron Johnson makes his orchestral debut at the Festival, in three new arrangements specially crafted by Adam Stern for this unique and exciting program.

Adam Stern Previews Orchestra Concert II with remarks by Guest Conductor Martin Majkut. Friday, July 28 @ noon, Umpqua Hall, 109. SWOCC, Coos Bay. Free Adam Stern shares his creative ideas for community outreach via his lectures and workshops. Stern will introduce Guest Conductor Martin Majkut who joins the Festival this year. Majkut is the Music Director and Conductor of the Rogue Valley Symphony, and has chosen to feature his beloved Czech music with the Vltava (the Moldau) and its melody that represents the river. With our many aquatic habitats here on the Oregon Coast, his selections of river and sea interludes by Britten should be well received. Majkut is actively engaged in educational programs and musical outreach on both coasts. He recently worked with the Link Up program of Carnegie Hall a program that unites a remote classroom with the concert hall, giving students in grades 3–5 the opportunity to explore music through a year-long curriculum of classroom activities and a culminating concert in which students perform with a professional orchestra.

BY MARY SCHAMEHORN

The headline on the front page of the Oct. 26, 1939, Western World advised that the lighthouse buildings were to be abandoned.

"The transfer of the U.S. lighthouse department to the coast guard department and the establishment of a new fog signal and electrically controlled fog light on the south jetty at the mouth of the Coquille river effects a complete local change in the lighthouse service, according to those affected. It means the elimination of one of the oldest landmarks on the local landscape -- the lighthouse keeper's residence ( rst photo) on the north sandspit.

"A representative of the lighthouse department who was in Bandon yesterday said he was on his way to the other side of the river to make an appraisal of the value of the residence and outbuildings that are to be disposed of. The old lighthouse tower will likely be left as a landmark at least for a time, but the equipment will be taken out and neither light nor horn will be operated.

"The new light on the south jetty is said to be of the very latest type and of greater value to mariners. The location is also better, according to the opinion of steamboat captains, the government men say.

"The new fog horn, which during the past week has been operated in conjunction with the old one, is more powerful and can be heard further than the old one. It too is operated by electricity."

Fast forward more than 40 years ... to Dec. 15, 1982, when the topic of concern was the road to the jetty.

"Bandon City Manager Ben McMakin reviewed a letter he sent to the Coos County Board of Commissioners at last week's regular council meeting, stating that if the county does not 'take precautions immediately, the only road to the South Jetty will be washed out.'

"McMakin's letter referred to the county road leading to the South Jetty which has been in disrepair for several years."

The City crews had been cleaning up the road after winter storms made it impassible. McMakin told the county the city had spent close to $150 in two days to maintain a clear roadway.

" 'If you will not maintain this county road so that access can be maintained to the Jetty homes and businesses,

we will bill you for our services in cleaning debris from the road,' McMakin wrote to the board. He also enclosed photos of the debris-littered road (second photo) in the letter.

"The manager said that in response to his letter, Commissioner Jack Beebe visited the site and said the county would put in a dike to keep the road from washing away.

"McMakin told the council that city workers would upgrade Madison Avenue in order to provide an alternate access to the jetty."

I was on the city council at this time, and recall that some time later, the city took over ownership of jetty road, the parking lot and the restrooms at the jetty.

The headline in a January 1924 Western World reads: "Bandon To Have Trout Hatchery.... will supply game sh to be liberated in streams of Coos and Curry counties."

"The Oregon state game department is establishing near Bandon a trout hatchery. The place chosen is on Ferry creek about one mile from Bandon (third photo).

"This place was selected because of the fact that water and temperature were both suited to the hatching of trout. Besides the land behind the hatchery site has been logged off so there will be no trouble in the future of logging operations interfering with the hatchery as might be the case with other sites.

"For the coming season, temporary buildings will be erected to take care of the hatching. Trout eggs are being taken at the newly established eggtaking station on Coos river and these will be brought to the Bandon hatchery.

"Elbert Dyer donated the land for the site, which consists of about ten acres."

Childhood friends and all who knew her as a beautiful young woman are mourning the death of 43-year-old Heather Brown, who died July 3 of cancer. She was the daughter of Colleen Brown and the late Bruce Brown, and grew up in Bandon.

A fundraiser in her honor, spearheaded by her friend Lauren Remy, had been held recently at Dragon y Nursery. Heather was a message therapist at Young Wellness Center.

I also learned that longtime Bandon resident and consummate volunteer Bill Russell died recently at the age of 90. Bill and

As I See It

his late wife Joan were instrumental in founding SEA (Shoreline Education for Awareness) and Bill was well known for his efforts at protecting the environment.

He was also a computer expert and offered technical advice through his Cyberlynx business before he retired some years ago. He had been ill for several years and had reportedly been cared for by Leigh Noyes. I have not seen an obituary, but I do know that Bill had at least one son.

I also learned that former resident Mary Hargrove died the day after her 78th birthday at the senior living center where she was residing in Florence.

As I headed to Ninth Street for the beginning of the Fourth of July parade I waved at Tony Chatman, head of CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) as he was putting out cones to reroute traf c away from the highway. I thought to myself what a sel ess guy, who is always ready to help whenever and wherever he is needed.

You can imagine my surprise when I saw a post on Facebook Friday that said he might be coming home the next day. It seems that he was directing traf c during the parade when he suffered a heart attack and was own to RiverBend Hospital in Spring eld where doctors inserted a stent ... and he was well enough to come home and recuperate the next day.

It's been a busy couple of weeks for the Bandon Rotary Club. We celebrated 50 years as a club with a gathering at the soon to be open 2 Mile Bistro, owned by club president Larry Langenberg and his wife, Sheila, where we pored through pages of old scrapbooks to see what the club has done in past years. It brought back a lot of memories for me because many of the "newspaper" photos were taken by me during my long years at Western World.

A WORD PLEASE: HOLY COW! HISTORY:

By June Casagrande

I have a friend who uses “hark back” a lot in conversation. She harks back to past news events. She harks back to old times. She harks back to something I told her last month or last year. My first reaction is to get annoyed with her. “It should be hearken back,” I think, “or wait, should it be just hearken?” Then I start wondering about spellings. Should the first syllable have an e: “hearken”? Or is the shorter “harken” correct?

In the end, I wind up annoyed with myself for being so quick to judge my friend when I, myself, don’t know the answer.

Most people use “hark back,” “hearken back” and “harken back” to mean “recall” or “refer back to” some previous event. But the original meaning of “hark,” “harken” and “hearken” was not to recall but to hear or to listen carefully. Think: “Hark! The herald angels sing.” In fact, you can still use them that way today: Hark my words. Hearken my words. Harken my words.

“Hark” is the youngest of the three, dating back to the 14th century, with “hearken” and “harken” going back another two centuries or so.

“Hark” became a hunting call. And it was often used with “away,” “on,” “forward” or “back.” My source, Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage, doesn’t give examples. But it’s not hard to imagine some hunter in the 1300s whispering, “Hark forward!” to alert his companions to a rustling in the bushes.

“Harken” is older than “hearken,” which began as just a variant spelling. But “hearken” quickly became standard, and it still dominates today. In fact, if you type “harken” into Merriam’s online dictionary, you’re redirected to “hearken,” where you see “harken”

listed as a variant spelling — a clear indication that Merriam’s considers “hearken” the most standard.

Sometime in the 1800s, people started adding “back” to “hark” for the purpose of giving it what was then a figurative meaning: to recall or refer back to. Soon, “hark back,” “hearken back” and “harken back” would become fullfledged phrasal verbs — word combinations that have a different meaning than the root verb they’re based on. For more examples of phrasal verbs, think about the difference between “give” and “give up”; “break” and “break in”; “cut” and “cut off.” In every case, the word combo means something different from the verb when it stands alone. That’s what makes them phrasal verbs.

So unlike “hark,” “hearken” and “harken,” which mean to listen or listen carefully, “hark back,” “hearken back” and “harken back” are phrasal verbs meaning “to go back to or recall to mind something in the past,” according to Merriam’s dictionary.

Merriam’s usage guide claims that, though “hark” is now rare in the meaning of to listen, “harken” and “hearken” are still used that way. Personally, outside of one old Christmas song, I’ve never heard any form of hark or hearken used to mean “listen.” But when I search a books database to compare “hearken” with “hearken back,” “harken with harken back,” and “hark” with “hark back,” I see that all three words often stand alone and “back”less. They’re all correct, with or without “back.”

So which is the most widely accepted in edited published writing? It’s “hark back” — my friend’s preference. My preference, “hearken back,” which the dictionary prefers, comes in last place in terms of popularity, and it has for most of the last century.

The Assassin, Automaker and Academy Award-Winning Actress

By J. Mark Powell InsideSources.com

Admittedly, it sounds like the start of a joke: “So a presidential assassin, a pioneering automaker, and an Academy Award-winning actress walk into a bar …”

But it’s not.

The (very) real story begins with John Wilkes Booth leaping out of the presidential box at Ford’s Theatre in Washington and into American history on the night of Good Friday 1865. Captured and killed at the end of a 12-day manhunt, he was quickly interred without the public glimpsing his remains. That was just fine with most Americans, who wanted to put the ugliness of Abraham Lincoln’s murder behind them.

But burying Booth secretly gave life to conspiracy theories that quickly spread across a still-divided nation. Whispers of, “You know, that wasn’t really Booth who was shot in that tobacco barn,” circulated for the next 50 years.

The paranoia peaked in 1907 with the publication of “The Escape and Suicide of John Wilkes Booth.”

Its author, Finis L. Bates, was born and raised on an antebellum plantation in Mississippi. Too young for the War Between the States, his family moved to Texas, where he became a lawyer. It was in the Lone Star State that Bates first heard a strange story.

As he explained in his 309-page book, Bates met a town character in Granbury, Texas, known for reciting long passages of Shakespeare from memory. (The Bard was Booth’s acting forte.) He went by the name John St. Helen, among others.

While ailing in the late 1870s, St. Helen supposedly told Bates, “My name is John Wilkes Booth, and I am the assassin of President Lincoln … notify my brother (the famous actor) Edwin Booth, of New York City.”

St. Helen recovered and later skipped town, never to be seen in Granbury again.

Bates initially thought

"Who runs the country?"

By ToM knaPP Director - The William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism

I've been hearing variants of that question a lot over the last few weeks, mainly in forms like "given Joe Biden's age and apparent mental decline, can we trust him to run the country for another four years?"

For the last eight or nine years, I've also heard it a lot, in slightly different forms, about Donald Trump.

I visited Google Trends to find out if I'm just imagining increased frequency of that annoying question. Turns out my perception is correct: After a brief spike in 2004, the phrase "who runs the country" took a long vacation, only beginning to rise to prominence again a decade or so ago, and recently peaking at its highest point since 2015. It's a dumb question ... and a pet peeve of mine. Donald Trump did not "run the country" from 2017 to 2021.

Nor has Joe Biden "run the country" since then. Whoever wins this November's presidential election will not "run the country" starting next January 20.

What are you doing today?

Whatever that might

be, did you ask Joe Biden for permission to do it?

Next January, will you start running your daily calendar by Joe Biden or Donald Trump for approval?

Almost certainly not.

The president is just one of more than 330 million Americans. He (or, someday, she) may be more powerful than most of us, but not so much more powerful that he "runs the country" in any meaningful sense.

At MOST, the president "runs" one of three branches of the federal government ... and the federal government is not "the country."

Economics isn't everything, but it's a useful thing. US Gross Domestic Product (the value of all goods and services produced) in 2023 topped $27 trillion, of which the federal government spent $6.13 trillion. That's a lot. It's WAY too much. But it's hardly "running the country." That $6.13 trillion was appropriated by Congress, not the president.

His only power over that is to sign or veto the appropriations bills (in the latter case, Congress can override him), then spend the money as Congress directs.

Increasingly "imperial" presidents since World War 2 have tried to get

around such strictures with "executive orders." Sometimes that works. Other times Congress or the courts say "nope."

Outside the purely economic arena, the president gets to negotiate treaties (but the Senate must approve them) and act as commander in chief of the armed forces when they are "called into the service of the United States," which should only happen when Congress has declared war (it hasn't done so in 80 years).

The president doesn't

"run the country." He only "runs the government" to a limited extent, if Congress and the courts allow it (they allow it far too much).

The country is "run" by those of us who produce that $27 trillion in goods and services every year ... or don't and who go about our business with or without a president's permission.

We should stop fantasizing so much power into the hands of politicians. They're just wasteful parasites. We're the productive hosts.

the story was a bunch of malarkey. But the more he pondered it, the more intrigued he became. In 1900, he wrote to the War Department, claiming the $100,000 reward offered in 1865 for Booth’s capture. (He didn’t get it.)

Then, in 1903, Bates was reading the newspaper when a photo caught his eye. Though he was now practicing law in Memphis, Tenn., the crazy story he’d heard 25 years earlier still fascinated him. Bates read that a man named David E. George had committed suicide in an Enid, Okla., hotel room and how, following a previous botched suicide attempt nine months earlier, had said, “I am the one who killed the best man who ever lived. I am J. Wilkes Booth.”

The report was accompanied by a photo of George’s embalmed body. Perhaps Bates recognized the face as John St. Helen. Some accounts claim the dying George had summoned Bates. Either way, the lawyer immediately hopped on a train and headed for Oklahoma.

As bizarre as things were up until then, they quickly turned surreal.

When nobody claimed the amply arsenic-embalmed body, the funeral director sat it in a chair in a window, eyes opened and holding a newspaper, as an attention-getter. Over eight years, 10,000 people gawked at the corpse. When the novelty wore off, and with nobody wanting it, the body wound up in the garage at Bates’ Memphis house. This is where Henry Ford rolled into the story. The early auto giant stumbled into the quicksand of controversy when he was quoted in a 1916 Chicago newspaper article saying, “History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in today, and the only history that’s worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.”

As a result, the man whose assembly lines were cranking out streams of Model T’s was forced into mass-producing damage

control. In 1919, Ford learned of Bates’ book and realized that verifying its claim that Booth had escaped would vindicate his “history is bunk” statement. So he set researchers looking into it. He even invited Bates to visit him in Michigan, whereupon Bates offered to sell him George’s corpse. When Ford’s fact-finders failed to substantiate most of the book’s allegations, Ford passed on the mummy. Bates eventually rented it to a showman, who, in turn, rented it to touring carnivals as a freak show exhibit. At one point, outraged aging Union Civil War veterans threatened to hang the corpse. It bounced around from one increasingly seedy carnival to another and was last seen in the late 1970s. Bates believed the BoothSt. Helen-George story until the day he died in 1923 at age 75. He never met his granddaughter, who was born 25 years later. Meaning he also never saw the night in March 1991 when Kathy Bates won the Best Actress Academy Award for her role as the creepy nurse in the hit movie “Misery.”

Though at last word, no one has questioned her Oscar’s authenticity.

Oregon Coast Visitors Association funds sustainable storytelling

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

The Oregon Coast Visitors Association (OCVA)'s annual Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) is an annual program supporting Oregon coastal tourism partners.

“The effort is to help the long-term resiliency of tourism on the coast by responding to destination development or management projects in critical moments of need,” Oregon Coast Visitors Association Industry Communications Coordinator Lynnee Jacks said.

The 2023 funds are focused on Sustainable Storytelling on the Oregon Coast. According to a 2022 report by Expedia Travel Group, 90 percent of consumers look for sustainable options when traveling.

“We wanted to help those consumers find coastal businesses prioritizing sustainability – and a great way to do that is by developing marketing content,” Jacks said. “With the announcement of OCVA’s 2024 Strategic Investment Fund, we’re wrapping up the year 2023 and introducing you to the exciting work our applicants have taken on this year.” Organizations all along the coast, businesses and Tribes, were invited to apply, and a total of six recipients took on projects with the funding, according to Jacks.

Overleaf Lodge and Spa and Fireside Motel

The family-run Overleaf Lodge and Spa and Fireside Motel in Yachats is a premiere destination on the Central Oregon Coast. They received funding to create short videos, blogs, and social media posts about their sustainability initiatives, including the electric vehicle charging stations, local environmental restoration efforts through guest donations, and contributions to Cape Perpetua Collaborative.

The Collaborative is a partnership dedicated to fostering conservation within the Yachats coastal

environment, and View the Future, a Yachats-based nonprofit that’s responsible for stewarding and conserving land and wildlife habitats in the Yachats area.

South Coast Tours South Coast Tours, a tour operator in Port Orford, received funding to tell the story of how their sustainable work on the Oregon Coast generates funds for organizations like the Elakha Alliance and the Oregon Kelp Alliance.

The Elakha Alliance is a non-profit working to bring back the Sea Otters to the Oregon coast. The Oregon Kelp Alliance is a non-profit working to restore Oregon's Kelp Ecosystems and South Coast Tours is a founding partner conducting dive trips for the organization to do habitat surveys, training of new research divers, and urchin culling.

“Funds went towards the creation of photo assets, including paddling, wildlife viewing and diving boat tours, that will help tell the story over a series of social media posts that highlight this work.

Shifting Tide,” Jacks said.

Shifting Tides

Shifting Tides is an organization run by Alanna Kieffer which offers educational workshops that connect people to nature, to intertidal food systems, and to edible wild foods. In line with work around the sustainability of our local food systems, Shifting Tides received funding to create videos and social media promos highlighting the programs.

“The videos highlight the abundance and diversity of life along the Oregon Coast and the opportunities for firsthand exploration and education in the field, as well as the specific workshops that are available, like sustainable clamming and mussel foraging,” Jacks said.

WildSpring Guest Habitat

WildSpring Guest Habitat is a small eco-friendly

resort in Port Orford. Everything they do has been designed to have a minimum impact on the environment.

“All their choices were made with three questions in mind: Will it be beautiful in a natural way? Will it help protect the environment? Will it make guests feel cared for?,” Jacks said.

The WildSpring Guest Habitat received funding to take photos and videos, and share out a blog story highlighting their sustainability initiatives. These include EV charging stations free to guests, development and operations focused on sustainable practices, carbon neutral operations, sustainable building practices, and water and energy-saving practices.

Itty Bitty Inn

The Itty Bitty Inn in North Bend received funding to tell a sustainable stories about the two EV chargers that were installed in 2017, and were the first Tesla Destination Charging Network stations listed in the North Bend/Coos Bay are).

“A series of promotional videos and a long-form documentary will tell the story of North Bend and Coos Bay as a sustainable destination – highlighting integrations of economic and ecological sustainability practices like North Bend's 2023 Solar & Electric Vehicle Fest,” Jacks said.

The 2023 event included a circuit of food and snack carts, rock bands, Celtic and folk musicians, solar installers, electric/hybrid vehicle dealerships and manufacturers, and community non-profit groups.

“This was an incredible opportunity to celebrate sustainable travel, and highlight the employment boom underway for electricians, solar installers, and hospitality specialists who are needed in the blossoming EV infrastructure industry,” Jacks said.
