North Bend Police upgrades pursuit vehicles
BY BECKY GIGER News Editor
The North Bend police department recently upgraded their fleet with two brand-new Dodge Durango Police Pursuit vehicles and have plans to acquire three additional vehicles. North Bend Chief of Police Cal Mitts shared his thoughts on the new vehicles, “These Dodge Durango Pursuits represent a significant upgrade for our department. They offer improved safety features, better visibility for our officers, and the versatility we need to serve North Bend effectively. The fact that we acquired them without impacting our local budget is a win for everyone in our community.”
The vehicles bought by the North Bend Police department through funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), are meant to replace the aging older Dodge Chargers, a way to modernize the North Bend fleet of vehicles. The Dodge Durango was chosen because of its list of safety
SpeedAlert trailers introduced to North Bend
The North Bend Police Department is proud to announce the acquisition of two All Traffic Solutions SpeedAlert 24 trailers, equipped with advanced Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) and messaging capabilities. This cutting-edge technology, purchased for $55,687.39 using federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant dollars, will significantly enhance our traffic monitoring and safety measures, ensuring a safer community for all.
“We are excited to integrate the SpeedAlert 24 trailers with ALPR technology into our traffic safety efforts,” Chief of Police Cal Mitts said. “This stateof-the-art equipment will greatly enhance our patrol officers’ ability to monitor traffic, gather critical data, and respond to community concerns. It’s important for the public to know that these trailers are not intended to issue speeding citations via mail. Instead, they serve as an educational tool to inform drivers of their speed and collect valuable data. This information will help us identify and address problem areas, ultimately making our roads safer for everyone.”
Next week, police department staff will undergo training on the new equipment before it is deployed throughout the community. The SpeedAlert 24 trailers are designed to educate drivers on their speed and record essential traffic data, helping to identify problem areas without mailing speeding citations.
Key Features and Benefits:
• Advanced Traffic Monitoring: The SpeedAlert 24 trailers can display the speed of approaching vehicles and show programmable messages to educate drivers.
• Data Collection: These trailers will gather data on speed and traffic volume, aiding the department in developing solutions for traffic concerns.
• ALPR Capabilities: The ALPR systems will help identify stolen vehicles, locate vehicles associated with Amber Alerts, and find vehicles linked to persons of interest, including those with warrants or suspected of serious crimes.
• Enhanced Public Safety: By maximizing limited staffing, this technology will allow for the effective deployment of resources to areas in
need, improving overall public safety. The purchase of these trailers included a generous 12% discount provided by All Traffic Solutions for acquiring two units. This investment in modern technology underscores our commitment to maintaining a safe and secure community.
Technical Specifications: The All Traffic Solutions (ATS) SpeedAlert 24 Radar Message Sign is versatile, durable, and user-friendly, suitable for various applications including:
• Messaging: Displays messages based on vehicle speed (e.g., “Slow Down” or “Too Fast!”) or for other alerts such as “Flood Warning” or “Amber Alert.”
• Speed Display: Shows the speed limit and the vehicle’s current speed.
• Speed Dependent Messaging: Uses radar to control the display based on vehicle speed, enhancing driver awareness.
• Traffic Data Collection: Records traffic volume by speed and time of day to help prioritize enforcement efforts. The SpeedAlert 24 sign can be deployed within minutes and is web-enabled for realtime reporting and data sharing.
On July 2nd, the U.S. Marshal Service Pacific Northwest Violent Offender Task Force (USMS) provided valuable assistance to USMS-Task Force Officer Deputy J. Lee in a high-priority fugitive investigation. The target of the investigation was Randolph N. Rossback (65), also known as Randy, who was believed to be in Coos County.
On July 3rd, the joint efforts of USMS and TFODeputy J. Lee culminated in the successful apprehension of Randy at a residence on Hwy 42, Coos Bay. Randy was wanted on a Failure to Appear (FTA) Warrant for multiple serious offenses, including Delivery of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm. In addition, Randy was cited for providing False Information to Police.
During the arrest, further suspicions of criminal activity arose, prompting the involvement of SCINT.
SCINT was granted and executed a search warrant, leading to the discovery of firearms, including a stolen firearm and suspected methamphetamine in Randy’s bedroom. Randy was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Coos County Jail, where he was booked on the outstanding warrant. The successful operation was made possible through the collaborative efforts of federal partners.
Deputy K. Mong, Deputy A. Burgo, Deputy J. Gray, and K9 Sgt. J. Boswell provided crucial assistance to the operation.
As a result of the SCINT investigation, additional charges will be filed against Randy. The coordinated efforts of law enforcement agencies demonstrate their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of our community.
“Police action is not indicative of guilt. All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.”
an increase in the property tax, a county-wide sales tax, and a separate taxing district that would allocate funds to the Sheriff’s Office instead of the general fund. With respect to increasing the property tax, we already saw how that went; it failed. I suspect the idea of a sales tax would fail by a wider margin. A 2% sales tax would cost the taxpayers WAY more than increasing the property tax would. The idea of creating a separate taxing district for the Sheriff is not even really a solution in and of itself. Suppose the county does create a separate taxing district. So what? That taxing district would STILL have to go to the taxpayers and ask them for more money. Gee, how do you think that’s going to go? The people have spoken; we don’t want to pay more taxes. We’re taxed enough, and every day there’s a different government entity trying to take more of our alreadystretched-thin budgets. The cities will their ridiculous “fees” on our water bills, the state with their idiotic new payroll taxes, and, of course, the inflation caused by the endless deficit spending by the federal government. The county would do well to do what it can with the money that it has. If that means layoffs and a reduction in services, so be it.

Following another successful fundraiser on the Langlois Library lawn, our thoughts focus on what makes it a success.
The Friends of the LPL and Sandy, library manager, agree about feeling grateful for all the volunteers who came to help us set up and take down following the book sale. Many pitched in, and we want to thank all for their support. A special thanks to Denise at Port Orford Library for the loan of tables we desperately needed and Noah for his loan of tables from the Langlois Church. And another special thank you goes out to the Langlois Volunteer Fire Fighters Association, including visits from Woodburn and Smokey, who offered meals during the sale. We love and support our library and our little community on the coast. It is clear than many of you do, too. See you next year for another book sale on the library lawn.

In attending the kick-off for North Bend’s July Jubilee and 121-year celebration, I felt a wonderful connection to community. Events like these gather us together in recognition and appreciation of the efforts by key contributors that demonstrate what it takes to keep North Bend thriving. Despite the blustery wind, it seems everyone pulled together to ensure the event went smoothly, especially those managing the cake table! It’s moments like these that truly highlight the spirit and resilience of a community. Thank you!

Researchers enhance tool to better predict where, when wildfires will occur
BY SEAN NEALON Guest Article
A newly enhanced database is expected to help wildfire managers and scientists better predict where and when wildfires may occur by incorporating hundreds of additional factors that impact the ignition and spread of fire.
“There is a tremendous amount of interest in what enables wildfire ignitions and what can be done to prevent them,” said Erica Fleishman, an Oregon State University professor. “This database increases the ability to access relevant information and contribute to wildfire preparedness and prevention.”
The Fire Program Analysis Fire-Occurrence Database was developed in 2013 by the U.S. Forest Service and since been updated five times. It incorporates basic information such as ignition location, discovery date and final wildfire size.
The revised database now includes many new environmental and social factors, such as topography and vegetation, social vulnerability and economic justice metrics, and practical attributes such as the distance from the ignition to the nearest road.
In addition to aiding on-theground firefighters and managers, the database could also help power companies evaluate shortterm risk when deciding whether to implement a public safety power shutoff or land management agencies determine whether to reduce access to public lands or restrict campfires during certain times of year, Fleishman said.
“There seem to be a lot of policies that are guided to some extent by intuition or emotions rather than by a large body of evidence,” she said. “These data present one way to increase the objective evidence to consider when making those decisions.”
The team, including Fleishman,
and led by Yavar Pourmohamad, a doctoral student at Boise State University, and Mojtaba Sadegh, an associate professor at Boise State, added nearly 270 additional attributes. The database now includes information on 2.3 million fires in the United States from 1992 to 2020.
“This provides a considerably deeper understanding of the individual and compounded impact of these attributes on wildfire ignitions and size,” Pourmohamad said. “It also identifies the unequal effects of wildfires on distinct human populations and ecosystems, which can, in turn, inform efforts to reduce inequities.”
Information from the database can also be incorporated into artificial intelligence and machine learning models that explain drivers of past fires or project likelihoods or effects of future fires, said Fleishman, who is affiliated with OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences and also directs the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute.
“It’s amazing what you can
infer when you have the computational capacity and this much information,” she said.
“You can ask a lot of questions that inform different actions in different places and to understand what is associated with wildfire ignitions and fire effects.”
A paper outlining the database is published in the journal Earth System Science Data.
Other co-authors of the paper are Eric Henderson and Sawyer Ball of Boise State; John Abatzoglou, University of California, Merced; Erin Belval, Karen Short, Matthew Reeves and Julia Olszewski, USDA Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station; Nicholas Nauslar, National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center; Philip Higuera, University of Montana; Amir AghaKouchak, University of California, Irvine; and Jeffrey Prestemon, USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station.
The research was supported by the Joint Fire Science Program, a program of the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Department of the Interior.

Tammy and her grandchildren with all her heart. She loved country music and was quite an amazing dancer. She enjoyed singing and playing the piano. While listening to country music one would often find her dancing and singing while keeping the beat with her tambourine. Her hobbies included raising and training dogs, riding horses, spending time at the beach, hiking and playing and hanging out with her grandchildren, and of course shopping. Sharon worked as an office manager in medical and dental offices for many years. She was smart, witty, funny and clever. She had a lot of friends who she loved spending time with. Her smile and laugh could quickly light up any room and people were always drawn to her beauty and her red hair with a fiery spirit to match. Her mother passed in 2019
which devastated Sharon. Those of us that loved her will grieve, but we all have great comfort in knowing that Sharon and her mom are both out of pain; smiling, laughing, singing and dancing together while they wait for us to join them.
Thomas Campbell said, “To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” Sharon was loved by so many and will live in our hearts until our final days come and we meet again.
She is survived by her son, Michael and wife, Heather George of Coos Bay; daughter, Tamara George Stagg and husband, Clint Stagg of Vernal, Utah; grandchildren, Logan Graham of Vernal, Utah, Chad Graham of Eugene, Zachary Graham of Vernal, Utah, Carter Smith of Springville, Utah, Makiah George of Redmond, Mitchell George of Eugene and “brother”, Rick Trupp of Coos Bay.

Bandon graduate Senn receives Most Valuable Teammate Scholarship
John Gunther For the World
Recent Bandon graduate
Katelyn Senn was one of three winners statewide of the Oregon Amy National Guard Most Valuable Teammate Scholarship.
Senn, a three-sport star for the Tigers, is headed to Eastern Oregon University this fall, where she will play basketball for the Mountaineers.
The scholarship is jointly sponsored by the Oregon School Activities Association and the Oregon Army National Guard. The 2023-24 school year was the second the two organizations sponsored the Most Valuable Teammate program, where the varsity coaches at all 296 OSAA member schools were asked to identify their most valuable teammates. From all those nominations, one student was recognized for each of the 25 sports and activities sponsored by OSAA.
The students were recognized for embodying the best attributes of teammates: leading by example, being willing to play any role, working hard, displaying a positive and energetic attitude and supporting others.
All of the students nominated by their coaches were invited to apply for the scholarship, which included writing a personal essay describing what they think makes a great teammate and providing examples of things they have done to demonstrate that description. They also had to write a synopsis describing their academic achievements, extra-curricular activities and involvement with community-based organizations and provide two letters of recommendation.
All three athletes — Senn, Oscar Moline of Hood River Valley and Landon Mitchell of Heppner — received $1,000 scholarships.
Senn helped Bandon’s track team win its second straight state title, finishing second in the javelin behind teammate Caitlyn Michalek. She also led the Tigers to second place in the Class 2A state basketball tournament and was a star on the volleyball team.
In her essay, she described selflessness as a major part of being a great teammate. For the basketball team, it didn’t matter who scored as long as the team found success. It was never about the individual. When the team found success working together, each member became the best version of
themselves.
“I never took any credit by myself, because, honestly, I wouldn’t have been the player I was and am today without my teammates pushing me and helping win the success we had,” she wrote.
Senn was an all-state performer in both basketball and volleyball.
Moline, the only junior among the three scholarship winners, was a captain for Hood River Valley’s soccer team and earned first-team all-conference and all-state honors while also earning a 4.0 grade point average in the classroom. He helped some of his teammates who were struggling in the classroom by creating team study sessions to ensure academics were a priority.
“My teammates are my family on and off the field,” he said.
Mitchell was a football and basketball player at Heppner and didn’t let a season-ending collarbone injury stop him from helping his team. He ran the scout team for Heppner, showing up early to watch as much film as possible. The role helped him to understand his teammates better.
“Having empathy is crucial to being a successful teammate,” he said. “Understanding the feelings of my peers allowed me to be more attuned to the emotions and needs of my teammates how to best offer them support and encouragement. It is important to recognize the values of each role and make sure everyone feels valued and respected.”
Former Reedsport star wins Oregon Women’s Stroke Play Championship
Reedsport High School graduate Monica Vaughn Fisher was crowned champion this week of the Oregon Golf Association’s 34th Oregon Women’s Stroke Play Championship.
Vaughn Fisher, who had a stellar career at Reedsport and at Arizona State University, finished the three rounds at the OGA Golf Course with a total of 1-under par, shooting a 71, a 73 and a 71. She won the title by four strokes over Krissy Carman of Junction City and Chen Ching Tzu of Eugene. Earlier this summer, Vaughn Fisher
was the No. 2 qualifier for the Oregon Women’s Amateur at Oswego Lake Country Club with a two-round total of 3-over. She won her first-round match before losing in the round of 16 to Hannah Swanson of Forest Grove. Swanson ultimately lost in the championship match to Carman in a match decided on the 37th hole.
In May, Vaughn Fisher won the Oregon Women’s Mid-Amateur at Pumpkin Ridge with a three-round score of 6-over, shooting 74 in each round. Vaughn Fisher was state champion
for Reedsport before a successful career at Arizona State. As a senior she was crowned individual NCAA champion and led the Sun Devils to the team title. She spent five years as assistant coach at the University of Oregon, a role now held by Carman. Vaughn Fisher is now the director of donor engagement and development at the Oregon Golf Association. A part of that job has been helping promote the new Golf Oregon license plate, which benefits junior golf in the state.
Bay clamming reopens statewide, mussels reopen on south coast
Bay clamming is now open statewide and mussel harvest reopens from Coos Bay north jetty to the California border the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announced today. Two consecutive tests showed biotoxin levels below the closure limit in these areas.
People should always call the Shellfish Safety Hotline (1800-448-2474) before heading out to harvest shellfish or visit the ODA Recreational Shellfish Biotoxin Closures
Webpage. Mussel harvest remains closed from Coos Bay north jetty to the Washington border for high levels of the marine biotoxin paralytic shellfish poison (PSP). Razor clamming remains closed from Yachats to Coos Bay for high levels of PSP and domoic acid.
Current harvest closures and openings: Bay clams: Open coastwide. Mussels: Open from Coos
Bay north jetty to the California border. Closed from Coos Bay north jetty to the Washington border.
Razor clams: Open from Washington border to Yachats River. Closed from Yachats River to Coos Bay north jetty. Open from Coos Bay north jetty to California border.
Reminder: Clatsop beaches’ annual conservation closure begins July 15.
ODA will continue testing
for shellfish toxins at least twice per month, as tides and weather permit. Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit.
For more information call ODA’s shellfish biotoxin hotline at (800) 448-2474, the ODA Food Safety Program at 503986-4720, or visit the ODA Recreational Shellfish Biotoxin Closures Webpage. Contact ODFW for recreational license requirements, permits, rules, and limits.

Best bets for weekend fishing
There’s a long list of opportunities this week. And this is just a few examples! Jubilee and Magone lakes are popular retreats to escape the summer heat and catch some trout. This is the perfect time of year for bass fishing the John Day. The giant Hex mayfly hatch has started on Fivemile Creek, Upper Williamson, Wood River, NF
Sprague River, Sprague River and Lower Williamson River.
Fishing for largemouth bass should be good at Lake of the Woods and Tenmile Lakes.
Bluegill fishing has been excellent in Beck Kiwanis Pond. It’s not often bluegill get a shout out.
Anglers have been catching nice crappie in Bully Creek Reservoir. The lower Owyhee River benefitted from extended fill this spring and fishing has been great.
Trout fishing has been excellent in several lakes and reservoirs in Eastern Oregon.

Club twins post top-eight finishes at national meet
Twins Logan and Cooper Vinyard both placed in the top eight in the high jump at the Junior Olympics National Championships in Texas this week, the highest finishes by local athletes in the event.
Competing in the 9-10 age group, Logan Vinyard tied for second with two others in the high jump, clearing 4 feet, 1 ½ inches. Cooper Vinyard also cleared that height, but finished eighth, based on misses during the competition.
The winner, Ronen Simpson, cleared 4-3 ½.
Logan Vinyard also was 13th in the triathlon for the 9-10 age group. He was fifth in the high jump in that event (4-1 ¼), fourth in the shot put (23-6 ¼) and 22nd in the 400 meters (1:21.61). His point total was 535 points.
Kaiicen Turner, who also is in the 9-10 age group, finished 15th in the 100 meters with a time of 14.95 seconds and was 26th in the long jump with a leap of 12-7 ¼.
The Vinyards and Turner all compete for the Prefontaine Track Club.
Bandon High School student Marley Petrey, competing unattached, was 26th in the 400 hurdles with a time of 1:06.26. The other area athletes who qualified for the national meet opted not to make the trip to Texas.
Prefontaine Memorial Run is Sept. 21
The 43rd annual Prefontaine Memorial Run is fast approaching. People can sign up for the Sept. 21 race that honors Steve Prefontaine through the race website, www.prefontainerun. net.
The 10-kilometer race begins at 10:05 a.m. on Sept. 21 in downtown Coos Bay.
In addition to the run, a 5-kilometer high school race will be held starting at 9:45 a.m. The event also includes a 2-mile fun walk that starts at the same time as the 10K.
The entry fee for the 10K and fun walk is $40 for adults who sign up by Sept. 17 and increases to $50 for people who sign up Sept. 18 through race day. The fee is $20 for participants 18-and-under.
A commemorative race shirt is included with the entry fee. For more information about the run, visit www.prefontaine. net.
Anglers have been reporting good nymphing for trout and whitefish on the Crooked River below Bowman Dam. Willamette River smallmouth bass fishing is excellent this time of year, especially early or late in the day. One way to beat the weekend heat: Explore the upper reaches of the Chetco and Elk rivers in search of cutthroat trout. Warmwater fishing is going full throttle in North Coast lakes. Summer steelhead fishing has been picking up on the Siletz.

Bill was born on August 15, 1941 in Marshfield to William and Selma Berg. He passed away on July 12, 2024 in Vancouver, WA after a short illness.
Bill graduated from North Bend High School, class of 1959. In 1960 he joined the US Army with his cousin, Dennis Graham. They served in Germany until 1963. While he was away, he was pen pals with Sandra Wallace, a family friend. This friendship developed into love. She graduated in June of 1963, he returned in August, and they married December 13, 1963. They were married 58 years until her passing in 2022. He never really recovered from the loss.
Bill and Sandi raised their family in North Bend. Teri was born in 1967 and Brad followed in 1970. Their last grandchild graduated from North Bend High School, a full four generations of NBHS grads.
Bill worked at Menasha/Weyerhauser Paper Mill on the North Spit for many years until retiring in the late 1990’s. He was a “Shipper,” loading train cars and trucks with rolls of paper.
Together Bill and Sandi enjoyed traveling, and went to various countries in Europe, the United Kingdom and across the United States, Canada and Mexico. They took many family trips as they raised the family, and more travels after retirement. They enjoyed spending time with family, with many trips being to visit family. They also made several trips with family and friends traveling with or meeting up in other parts of the world. They even took a conversational Spanish class at SWOCC in hopes of using that in their travels.
Bill enjoyed crossword puzzles and most every family gathering ended up with a Scrabble game – some more competitive than others! The winning scores posted on refrigerators or later on Facebook with winner earning bragging rights until the next game. He was artistic, attended art school by correspondence in the 1960’s and 70’s. He liked drawing, and helped illustrate school projects and made pictures that were used at his work and children and grandchildren’s schools, and also drew ‘just for fun.’
The family moved from a couple acres in Hauser to a house on a big corner lot in town in 1983, which was closer to the school for the kids’ activities. Bill enjoyed keeping the big yard to a certain standard – immaculate. After a thorough mowing of his yard, (and down the sidewalk and around the corner on Pony Creek Road where the city didn’t mow quite as often as he would have liked), he could be found on hands and knees getting the lawn trim “just right” by hand. This standard has inspired his son and son-in-law in their yard ventures, “What would Dad/Bill do?” Both keep their yards to a standard Dad would be proud of!
Bill liked woodworking and over the years built many things including beds, tables, workbenches, tree houses, forts, playhouses, rocking horses and more. He collected the tools of the trade inherited from his father, a carpenter, who helped
with construction of the McCullough Bridge and many other builds in the area.
Bill was generous with his time, helping the kids with many home and yard projects over the years. His unwavering support meant the world to them. He also volunteered for a homeless shelter in Coos Bay for a time. Together, Bill and Sandi liked to keep busy, (or she kept him busy) after retirement. They frequently walked together and even took yoga and Tai Chi classes together, even through the pandemic via Zoom!
Bill is survived by his children, Teri ( and Quentin ) Davis of Vancouver, WA; Brad ( and Taylor ) Berg of North Bend; grandchildren, Victoria Davis, Kolbey Berg, and Owen and Olivya Roe; sister, Betty Bronsema of Wenatchee, WA; close cousins, Dennis Graham, Jim Berg, Marilyn Berg, and numerous other cousins; in-laws that became longtime friends, Sue and Jim Jones and Gary and Karyle Wallace; much loved nieces and nephews; and dear friends from the neighborhood, work and school.
Bill was a kind man and father and was loved a lot. Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www.coosbayareafunerals.com and www.theworldlink.com. Arrangements are under the care of North Bend Chapel, 541-756-0440.

Nancy Ruth (Johnson) Peterson, 95, passed away Wednesday May 30, 2024, in Vancouver, Washington. She was born April 3, 1929 in Marshfield, Oregon and was the youngest child of Oscar and Agnes Johnson.

In 1965, Treva married the love of her life, Ronald Adamec. Together, they built a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Treva and Ronald raised two children: Anita and Lisa. Sadly, their beloved daughter, Anita, passed away in 1976. Treva dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her family, providing unwavering support and encouragement to her children and later, her grandchildren.
Professionally, Treva worked at Georgia Pacific and Roseburg Forest Products for over 30 years, where her determination and work ethic were admirable. Her commitment to her work was a testament to her strong character and reliability.
Treva had a passion for music and all things Elvis, a passion that she would eventually pass down to her youngest granddaughter. Treva enjoyed upbeat music, dancing, playing cards, camping and spending time with family and loved ones. Treva had the special ability to make anyone who entered her house feel as if they had found a home.
Above all, Treva will be remembered for her kindness, her gentle spirit, and her

tracking system for non-compliance reports for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It was during this time that she met her future husband, Gary Hansen. They were married in June of 1979 and the family then moved to Coos Bay. She then began a twenty-six year career with the Judicial Department as a court operations specialist for the Coos Country District Courts. It was a career that gave her an even greater appreciation for those in the justice and law enforcement fields. It also gave her a greater awareness of the difficult challenges many members of our community faced on a daily basis. This awareness led her to volunteer on the citizens’ mental health advisory committee, and after retirement served on the Judicial Department Citizens Review Board to improve services for clients of helping agencies.
In her “spare” time, Judith loved to cook (not everyone has a floor to ceiling bookcase devoted to cookbooks), knit, read and spend time with friends, participating in book club and playing bunco. After retirement, Judith also enjoyed rving

with her husband and visiting family and friends. It must also be said that Judith loved animals including a horse that she bought her daughter, dogs, cats and raccoons. She would say when the kids were young they figured out if they could sneak an animal in the house, chances are it would stay.
Judith is greatly missed. She is survived by her husband Gary; children Jeffrey (wife Lynn) Wagner, Steven Wagner, and Mary Beth Wagner; grandchildren Hank Peterson and Jerod (wife Christa) Wagner; and great grandchildren Hayden, Emily, and Zackary. A celebration of Judith’s life will be held later this summer for family and friends.
Mr. Morrill was born on October 8, 1949, in Myrtle Point, Oregon to Robert Morrill and Mildred Bastian and passed away peacefully on July 19, 2024, in Springfield, Oregon. He was a logger his entire life and resided mainly on the family ranch near Langlois, Oregon that had been in the family for over 100 years. He was known for his strong work ethic and generous nature. He was the kind of person that was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. He enjoyed talking to people and sharing stories. He retired to Coos Bay, Oregon in 2019. At the time of his death, he was married to Angelina Fernandez. They were married on October 22nd, 2005, in Port Orford, Oregon. From Rodney’s first marriage to Marion Owens he had two children, Luke and Stephanie. Survivors include his wife, Angelina Morrill of Coos Bay; son, Luke Morrill of Hampton, Virginia; daughter, Stephanie Nace of Olympia, Washington; granddaughter, Elizabeth “Elle” Nace; and an unborn granddaughter, unnamed.

25 mpg highway, the V6 model of Dodge Durango offers an efficient balance of power and fuel economy for officers on patrol.
Financially these vehicles showed lower maintenance costs by standardizing the fleet allowing access to parts and streamlining repairs. The goal is to reduce long-term maintenance costs. The white SUV’s will soon be

North Bend Pony Village Cinema
to show local feature film
Barbed Wire Media announces that their latest feature film, “BAD FISH,” filmed along the northern California and Southern Oregon coast will be coming to the North Bend Pony Village Cinema on August 9th.
“BAD FISH” is the story
of a Marine Biologist (Jonny Lee), investigating mysterious deadly attacks on fishermen in an Oregon coastal town, and discovers the culprit is a Mermaid (Abby Wathen), who must find a mate to breed with before returning to the sea. It was filmed in 2022 at
various locations in Crescent City and Smith River, CA and Brookings, OR including the Brookings Harbor and Capella By The Sea. It was written, produced and directed by Northwest Filmmaker, Brad Douglas. It will run for one week and possibly longer based on ticket sales.

On July 22, 2024, around 4:30 pm, Coos County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a wildfire off Bills Creek Road in Bandon. A Sergeant from Bandon Police Department was first on the scene and began evacuating residents in the area after noting the rapidly spreading fire. The fire at Bills Creek Lane and Copperhead Road cut off the Sergeant. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office established an incident command. At the same time, elements
from Bandon Fire Department, Coquille Fire Department, Greenacres Fire Department, Coos Forest Protective Association, and Oregon Department of Forestry fought the fire. A unified command was established, and those trapped were safely evacuated. Traffic was restricted at 11th and Fillmore in Bandon while firefighting operations were underway. Meanwhile, law enforcement evacuated and notified affected residents.
The fire was quickly controlled, and residents were allowed back home. Though at least two homes were within a few short feet of being burnt, no homes were destroyed, and no people were injured. The fast-moving winds, dry conditions, and a downed power line contributed to the fire. The Bandon Police Department, BLM law enforcement, Coos County Emergency Management, and Oregon State Police assisted the Coos County Sheriff’s Office.
