Known as “the greatest last party of the summer,” the 2024 Bay Area Fun Festival also celebrated Coos Bay’s 150th birthday.
Many events and displays occupied downtown Coos Bay from morning through afternoon on Sept. 21.
The annual event is organized by Coos Bay Downtown Association
Beginning the day was the 43rd annual Prefontaine Memorial 10K run, starting
from the corner of Fourth and Anderson in Downtown Coos Bay.
The event had fewer participants this year than it had last year, said Bob Huggins, Prefontaine Foundation, Executive Director.
“We’ve got a competing event up at Lane Community College that’s drawn away some of the high school teams, so we’re not as big as last year,” he said.
Still, the event drew many participants and an awed crowd to carry on the memory of
North Bend Public Library Gets Grant Funds Ahead Of Major Remodeling Project
BY
On Sept. 30, North Bend Public Library starts its rst major remodeling project since opening in 1989. Ahead of the effort, NBPL received a grant for $34,421 from Oregon Cultural Trust to improve the library’s children’s room. The children’s room is a key area of the remodeling project’s nal phase, said Library Director Haley Lagasse. “We will be making quite a few changes in that space to
Olympian and Coos Bay native Steve Prefontaine.
“There’s 22 high school teams represented here today, I think, some 365 kids,” said Huggins.
The 5K high school team competition launched at 9:45 a.m., followed by wheelchair runners at 9:50 a.m. and the 10K & Fun Run at 10 a.m.
Cruz the Coos started the day with a Show N’ Shine hosted at Mill Casino, allowing visitors to admire many shining automobiles ahead of the evening’s downtown cruise.
“We have 130 cars this year,” said Steve Schneiderman, Event Co-Organizer. “It’s a little bit down from previous year. The economy prevents a lot of the out-of-towners, outof-staters from traveling, but it’s still acceptable.”
He added, “They’re beautiful cars this year.”
Best of all about the day is that Cruz the Coos is an ongoing community tradition, said Schneiderman.
“This is a multi-year tradition in our community, through fun festival weekend,” he said.
“Since Coos Bay/North Bend Rotary started putting on this event, it’s a big fundraiser for us to be able to do these scholarships for higher education for our local students and grants to local community projects.” Bay Area Fun Festival’s downtown parade had about 33 entries registered either walking or on oats, driving antique vehicles, on horseback, re truck and more.
The number is about equal
Santa’s Shuttle Returning for 2024 Shore Acres Holiday Lights
BY BRANDON SUMMERS
Santa’s Shuttle is returning for this year’s Holiday Lights at Shore Acres annual event.
The shuttle, provided by the Coos Bay/North Bend/Charleston Visitor & Convention Bureau, will run for 19 of the events 31 nights this year.
The event, marketed by the VCB, is the biggest for the Coos Bay area.
“Holiday Lights brings in anywhere from 50,000 to 70,000 people into the state park from Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day,” said VCB Executive Director Janice
Langlinais. “People come from far and wide, as well as almost every state in the union. It was like 280 different Oregon communities that came.” Holiday Lights at Shore Acres has been going on for more than 35 years, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t held in 2020 and 2021.
During the brief reprieve, Shore Acres tackled an ongoing problem with the event: the traf c.
“Up until 2019, cars would back up on that little two-lane road, past Sunset Bay, sometimes to the turn off to Bastendorff Beach, waiting to get into
the park,” said Langlinais. Oregon State Parks decided this was not safe, and in 2022 instituted timed parking passes.
The passes, which cost $5, must be purchased online for a speci c day and time.
There was confusion, as some people thought the parking passes were per person and not per car, for example.
“That rst year back, there were a lot fewer people who got to go to the lights because there were people who had bought four, ve, six parking passes for one car,” said Langlinais.

make it more user-friendly and more inviting,” she said. “We are going to create a new story time area and open up space for activities and interactive displays so children and their caring adults can spend time together here at the library.”
The library’s children’s programs are well attended, said Lagasse.
“We have really great attendance at our weekly story times,” she said. “We also offer two programs that are focused on socialization and interaction. We have one for infants, and also one for toddlers that
In 2023, VCB visited with Friends of Shore Acres and State Parks with the idea of arranging a shuttle for people who wanted to see the lights without purchasing a timed pass, or didn’t have a credit card or internet access to buy a pass.
Grants were acquired through Ford Family Foundation and Travel Oregon for the shuttle, said Langlinais.
Last year, Santa’s Shuttle ran Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from Thanksgiving to New Years Eve, and any middle-of-the-week holidays.
“We couldn’t do it every night the lights happened,” she said. “A lot of the middle-of-theweek nights are not as visited as the weekends.”
During its 21 nights of shuttle service in 2023,
we’ll be hosting once this space is improved in that area. We have really fantastic participation in our programs and we have found that we see a wide variety of families that visit and spend time here, and so we want to make sure that the children’s room is accessible for everyone.”
The nal phase of the library improvements began on Sept. 30 and will continue through February 2025. Contractors will begin work in the public restrooms and in the library’s meeting room, explained Lagasse.
The library will remain open with limited services until Oct. 12, after which the library will
VCB took roughly 4,400 people from Charleston Marina to see the lights.
“These were people who either couldn’t book a parking pass the night they wanted to go, didn’t have the means with which to do it, or were a large group and that would have been multiple parking passes,” said Langlinais.
This year’s event will take place over 31 days, with a shuttle available on 19 days.
Because Thursday nights did not receive as many passengers, this year the shuttle will only operate on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, plus the four holiday days. The shuttles will run from 4:30 to 9 p.m. Grants for the shuttle service were not available this year.
To cover the cost of the shuttles and to better engage the business community, VCB pur-
close the facility to accommodate construction.
“When construction permits, we plan to offer limited services from the meeting room, but the library will be closed for a period of time this fall and into the winter,” she said. She added, “We’re still working on our timeline with contractors, but we will have updates about our service levels on our website.”
Other renovations in this phase include the library’s lobby and entrance, new energy-efcient lighting, and painting and installing new ooring throughout public areas.
Greater changes to the library have long been needed,
sued sponsorships, said Langlinais.
“The buses alone cost us a little under $21,000 for 19 nights of two buses, and we have all the support that we need,” she said
This year’s Santa’s Shuttle is sponsored by Gib’s RV, Paci c Power, Harmony Home Care, Coos Bay/North Bend Rotary, Addcox Heating, Sause Bros., Ziply Fiber, Best Western Coos Bay, Knife River and Englund Marine.
The support is greatly appreciated, said Langlinais.
“We’re very happy,” she said on Sept. 18. “Up until the end of last week, I was still sweating that I needed more support.”
The response to Santa’s Shuttle from the community has been positive, said Langlinais.
“More than our visitors, our local community were the ones that were
to last year’s event, said Allison Richards, parade co-coordinator and Coos Bay Downtown Association promotions committee volunteer.
“About half of the entry of the parade entries sign up the morning of,” explained Richards. “The number of people who registered ahead of time is about the same.”
Special this year is the celebration of the city’s sesquicentennial anniver-
sary.
“This year, we are celebrating 150 years,” said Richards. “The theme is ‘Happy Birthday Coos Bay, Celebrating 150 Years.’ That’s pretty special, 150 years as a town.”
Blazing even brighter than the afternoon sun was the enthusiasm of those participating in and enjoying the parade as it crossed Fourth Street onto Commercial Avenue and back down onto Second Street.
“It’s really nice to see
everybody coming out,” said Richards. “It seems like a really good crowd today. That’s always wonderful. I’m seeing all kinds of familiar faces and folks from out of town. Folks from out of town is especially what we want, to come and enjoy our city.”
Other events included a vendor market on Central Avenue and BAFF Rock Fest music stage on corner of Third Street and Central Avenue.
cruise, a part of the 2024 Bay Area Fun Festival.
said Lagasse.
“We are very fortunate that our library has served the community really well for over 30 years now,” she said. “The library opened in 1989 and this will be the rst major renovation to our public space. A lot has changed in library service since the building opened, and so we’re excited to have this opportunity to update the library so that we can better meet the needs of our community and continue to serve folks into the future.” This phase will cost roughly $1.25 million, with funding from the City of North Bend and North Bend Public Library Foundation.
To reach the “long-awaited”
less positive about the timed parking, because they were so used to, for 30-plus years, being able to go to the lights when they wanted,” she said.
“This gives them at least a better way in which to go to the park without saying, ‘Well, I’ve got to book in advance!’ or ‘I booked a night, and now it’s raining!’”
start of construction is exciting, said Lagasse.
“We’ve worked on plans for this project and fundraising since 2017, and it’s taken many steps to get here,” she said.
“We’ve been through strategic planning, structural assessments of the building. Lots of public input sessions. It is very exciting to be here at the point of construction. We’re really grateful for all the support that the community has given for this project in order to make this possible.”

Langlinais described the event as “magical.”
“Even in the rain, the lights are magical, because they glisten off the raindrops,” she said.
“Going early, to watch it go from dusk to dark, it’s magical to see the sky get darker and darker as the lights get brighter and brighter. It’s just a magical time. We love Holiday

HOLY COW! HISTORY: The Baby That
Changed a Battleplan
an Atlanta newspaper
decided to arrive.
By J. Mark Powell InsideSources.com
Babies can be stubborn.
They alone determine when the blessed event will occur. And more often than not, they pick the worst possible time for it. Such was the case with one baby’s arrival 140 years ago. This bundle of joy showed up on a battlefield. And it made an entire army change its plans. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
The eyes of the nation were focused throughout the long, scorching summer of 1864 on Atlanta. Known at the time as the Gateway to the South, it was, in fact, much more than that.
The War Between the States had been raging with a ferocity never before seen. Now, three blood-soaked years later, both armies were locked in a death grip at Atlanta. And everything was riding on the outcome.
For the South, losing its major manufacturing and
transportation hub would be a blow that it could never recover from.
The odds were just as critical for the North. War weariness was in full force, and Abraham Lincoln was facing uncertain reelection prospects that November.
For two months, the two armies had been coiled around the city inside entrenchments.
Gen. John Bell Hood’s appointment as commander of the Confederate forces there changed everything.
Aggressive to a fault, he lashed out at the Union troops under Gen. Willian T. Sherman with a series of savagely bloody attacks. There were the Battles of Peachtree Creek, Atlanta and Ezra Church. Each time, the gray came close, but not close enough, to breaking the blue lines.
As August dwindled down to its last day, Hood decided to try one final roll of the dice. And wouldn’t you know it, that was precisely when a baby
It must have been a challenging pregnancy for Nancy Holt. Six weeks shy of turning 20, she had a toddler son and a husband who was fighting with Lee’s army 500 miles away in the trenches near Richmond, Va.
So, she stayed with her parents at their home in Clayton County, just south of Atlanta. Fans of the movie “Gone With the Wind” will recognize it as the site of the fictitious Tara, home of Scarlett O’Hara. This was no moonlight and magnolias mansion. It was a small, simple place — and it was smack dab in the worst possible location.
Hood attacked at Jonesborough (modern Jonesboro) the next day — just as Nancy went into labor. There was nowhere the family could flee. They were trapped in a combat zone.
“They say that just before I was born, a ball was shot through the wall of my mother’s bedroom,” Anna Holt Tidwell told
80 years later. “It came through the head of the bed and landed by the fireplace.”
Nancy’s father, Calvin Kite, the grandpa-tobe, did the only thing he could do in that unenviable situation.
“He went out in the yard and raised a white flag,” Anna explained. “He hoped it would get the Yankees’ attention so they would stop firing in our direction.” It worked. A federal cavalryman soon rode up and asked what was going on. Told the situation, he dashed off.
“Then ’fore long, a Yankee doctor come to the house and tended mother till I was born.” With men on both sides dying nearby, Anna’s entry into the world was greeted by the roar of cannons.
But there was an important difference now. The federals were aiming the artillery away from the house. The baby’s arrival had altered their
battleplan.
Nancy allowed the doctor to name the girl. “He picked me up and named me Shell Anna Marvillier Hoyt. That means ‘a marvelous escape from a shell.’”
The family called her Anna. Her father would be captured and sent to a POW camp in New York state and wouldn’t see his daughter for the first time until peace returned. He and Nancy went on to have nine more children.
Anna eventually married and became a mom herself. Looking back toward the end of her long and eventful life, she confessed to one thing.
“I kinda wish they had called me Marvillier,” she said in her old age. “I think that’s a real pretty name.” Instead, she was affectionately addressed by the Deep Southern drawled version of her second name: “Anner.”
In fact, her obituary was headlined, “Mrs. Anner Tidwell,” when she passed away in 1947 at age 83.
It’s a shame the name of the doctor who delivered her has been lost to history. Country docs loved telling stories about the unusual situations where they had delivered babies. And his yarn must have topped them all.

Senator Bill Hansell Celebrates Induction of the Potato as Oregon's Official State Vegetable
SALEM – The potato was recognized as the state’s official vegetable during an induction ceremony on Sept. 23 hosted by the Oregon Potato Commission.
Sen. Bill Hansell (R-Athena), a co-chief sponsor of SCR 3, was in attendance to celebrate the occasion and delivered a speech highlighting the potato’s importance to Oregon.
“The hardworking farmers who cultivate this crop are the backbone of our agricultural sector, and today we acknowledge their contributions by elevating the potato to its rightful status,” said Hansell. “It was an honor to sponsor SCR 3 and see this resolution come to life. This is a day of celebration not just for potato growers, but for all Oregonians.”
The potato is one of Oregon’s most important agricultural products, with the state ranking No. 4 in potato production nationwide. The industry contributes over $200 million to Oregon's economy annually. SCR 3 recognizes the potato's significance to Oregon’s history, economy, and culture, while opening up new marketing opportunities that will help promote Oregon-grown potatoes in both local and national markets.

Portland Man Sentenced To Federal Prison For Stealing Dozens Of Firearms From Local Pawn Shop
PORTLAND— A Portland man was sentenced to federal prison on Sept. 17 for breaking into a local pawn shop and stealing 47 firearms from the federal firearm licensee.
Kory Dean Boyd, 39, was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison and three years’ supervised release. According to court documents, on Jan. 31, 2022, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives were notified of a burglary at a Southeast Portland pawn shop. Early that morning, shop owners discovered two large holes in a concrete block wall on the building’s exterior. The exposed room contained dozens of firearms, 47
of which were reported stolen, including pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns.
ATF agents reviewed exterior surveillance video from the pawn shop and observed two vehicles and five individuals present near the holes in the building during the late evening and early morning hours of Jan. 29 and 30, 2022. Two individuals used a sledgehammer to make holes in the exterior wall while Boyd and others carried firearms and firearm cases to the vehicles.
On Feb. 4, 2022, ATF agents searched Boyd’s residence and recovered eight firearms, including seven stolen from the pawn shop. Boyd was arrested
without incident and admitted to his involvement in the burglary.
On Feb. 8, 2022, a federal grand jury in Portland returned a two-count indictment charging Boyd with the theft of firearms and possessing firearms as a convicted felon.
On March 4, 2024, Boyd pleaded guilty to stealing firearms from a federal firearm licensee.
This case was investigated by ATF with assistance from the FBI, Portland Police Bureau, and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Lewis S. Burkhart, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. This case was brought as part of
Project Safe Neighborhoods. PSN is the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them.

Three Men Sentenced To Federal Prison For Roles In Fatal Fentanyl
Overdose Of Southern Oregon Teenager
MEDFORD — Three Oregon men were sentenced to federal prison Sept. 19 for distributing fentanyl that caused the overdose death of a Medford teenager.
Hunter Fenstermaker, 23, a Medford resident, was sentenced to 60 months in federal prison and six years’ supervised release; Napoleon Gomez, 22, also of Medford, was sentenced to 87 months in federal prison and six years’ supervised release; and Conner Lee Francis, 27, of Portland, Oregon, was sentenced to 73 months in federal prison and four years’ supervised release. All three were also ordered to pay restitution to the victim’s family. According to court documents, on Sept. 7, 2021, of cers from the Medford Police Department responded to a report of an overdose death of a local 17-year-old high school student. Investigators soon learned the teenager had taken a counterfeit Percocet pill containing fentanyl, and, within days, identi ed Fenstermaker, Gomez
and Francis as the teen’s rst-, second- and thirdlevel drug suppliers.
On Feb. 3, 2022, a federal grand jury in Medford returned a ve-count indictment charging Fenstermaker and Gomez with distributing fentanyl, and Francis with possessing fentanyl with the intent to distribute and possessing a rearm in furtherance of a drug traf cking crime.
On April 9 and June 17, 2024, respectively, Fenstermaker and Gomez pleaded guilty to distributing fentanyl to a person under twentyone. On June 24, 2024, Francis pleaded guilty to possessing fentanyl with the intent to distribute.
On May 14, 2024, a fourth individual— John Rocha, 31, of Medford— was sentenced to 70 months in federal prison for his role in the Medford teen’s overdose death. Rocha was the teen’s fourth-level drug supplier.
This case was investigated by the FBI, the Medford Police Department, and the Medford Area Drug and Gang Enforcement
Team (MADGE). It was prosecuted by Marco A. Boccato, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
MADGE is a multijurisdictional narcotics task force that identi es, disrupts, and dismantles local, multi-state, and international drug traf cking organizations using an intelligencedriven, multi-agency prosecutor-supported approach. MADGE is supported by the Oregon-Idaho High-Intensity Drug Traf cking Area (HIDTA) and is composed of members from the Medford Police Department, the Jackson County Sheriff and District Attorney’s Of ces, the Jackson County Community Corrections, FBI, and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).
The Oregon-Idaho HIDTA program is an Of ce of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) sponsored counterdrug grant program that coordinates with and provides funding resources to multiagency drug enforcement initiatives.
Oregon Republicans To Introduce Legislation To Safeguard Oregon’s Election System
SALEM – In response to the news that noncitizens in Oregon received ballots and voted in Oregon’s 2022 election, House Republicans Ed Diehl (R-Stayton), E. Werner Reschke (R-Klamath Falls), Anna Scharf (R-Amity), and Dwayne Yunker (R-Grants
Pass) offered the following statements:
“It’s outrageous that noncitizens in Oregon received ballots and voted in Oregon’s 2022 election,” said Rep. Scharf. “Worse, the legislature still hasn’t gotten straight answers about the extent of the problem and how the Secretary of State plans to ensure this never happens again.”
“We need better safeguards to ensure every legal vote counts and is not diluted or negated,” said Rep. Yunker.
“Therefore, House Republicans will be introducing legislation in Oregon that mimics the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE Act passed this summer by the U.S. House of Representatives.”
“House Republicans want to make it as easy as possible for Oregon citizens to vote,” said Rep. Diehl.
“Unfortunately, the Democrat majority in Oregon has passed laws such as automatic voter registration via the DMV and now the Oregon Health Authority which leave Oregon’s voting system very vulnerable to fraud and foreign interference.”
“Even one noncitizen voting is one too many,” said Rep. Reschke.
“Each noncitizen who votes steals the voice of an Oregon citizen. There are ways to restore con dence in our elections system.
The SAVE Act is the rst step in ensuring our elections are safe and secure.”
The SAVE Act is intended to prevent noncitizens from voting. The bill would require

individuals registering to vote in the state of Oregon provide proof of citizenship such as a birth certi cate or a U.S. passport. It would also require the Oregon Secretary of State to perform robust voter roll audits.

x! A Master Of All Trades was he! At one point in his life he was just a few short hours shy of getting his small engine pilots license! His multifaceted skills allowed him to travel the country for work. Which lead them to Iowa where John helped construct the local POET plant and they decided to put down roots.
In September 2007 John was nally able to retire which just meant he didn't have to punch a time clock anymore but there was still work to be done! He spent his days chopping and selling Firewood to all the locals, tinkering on small engines and working around the property. Helping anybody and everybody that needed a hand.
He was an avid gun collector of new and old and could tell you what model a ri e was just by glancing at it and even what year they stopped production on them. Oh and the hunting stories he could tell yah! One of John's real passions in life was motorcycles. He loved to ride them, having owned 47 different motorcycles over the years!
John was able to make one last trip out to Oregon last year to nally walk his daughter Misty down the aisle by way of a Train ride with his wife Bobbie and he just couldn't get over how that was one of the greatest adventures he'd ever had! That time he'd spent traveling seeing the beautiful country side with his wife was as he'd said "perfect!" John was an incredible communicator whom never met a stranger, he loved to reminisce
about the good Ole days with friends and family. He will be greatly missed by everybody that knew and loved him! But it is now his time "To Go Rest High On That Mountain!"
Left to cherish John's memory is his wife Bobbie Smith, Brooks Iowa; daughter; Mariah Owens (signi cant other, Nicholas Tiemann) Marinette, Wisconsin; daughter; Keara Thomas, Creston, lowa; son; Jeremiah Thomas, Waterloo, lowa; son; Martin (Debbie) Smith, Glendale, Oregon; daughter; Misty (Dustin) Williamson, Coos Bay, Oregon; daughter; Cory (Bart) Pulse, Roseburg, Oregon; son; Michael (Mary) Godley, Oregon; son; Brett Godley, Idaho; many grandchildren and great- grandchildren; brother; Kenneth (JoAnn) Smith, Grants Pass, Oregon; sister; Dadie (Terry) Rates, Florida; sister; Sherri (Vern) Hollingsworth, Glendale, Oregon; several nieces nephews, other relatives.
Preceding John in death were his parents; son, Ira; two daughters: Ronda Prince and Shawna Gipe, two sisters: Iralene Crum and Carolyn Smith (as a child); second wife, June Smith.

The three photos that
I am sharing this week represent stories that I found on the front page of a 72-year-old Western World from Sept. 20, 1951. The paper was among the historic items from the old Western World safe, which was in the house (former Western World of ce) purchased by Eric Turner and his mother Vera. The safe was later sold to the late Anthony Zunino, who made sure I was given the valuable historic items.
The rst story is about plans for the 1951 "Cranberry Festival which starts Friday, night, Nov. 2, with the queen's coronation and big variety show at the grade school auditorium. Bandon's own Driftwood Players are in charge of the variety show and promise a gala affair.
"Saturday afternoon, the Festival parade will wend its way through the streets of Bandon, ending at the VFW Hall where the Cranberry Fair will be in progress. Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. in the Cranberry Bowl, Bandon will play Sutherlin High. At 10 p.m. the Cranberry queen and her court opens the Harvest festival ball at Tanglewood, to the music of Johnny Dayton and his orchestra.
The VFW Hall referred to in the article was located on Third and Fillmore, which today is a vacant lot adjacent to the former city shop, now owned by Greg Drobot of Face Rock Creamery. The photo was taken during halftime of the Cranberry Bowl football game in 1957.
The second story, represented by a woman grading cranberries at the old Ocean Spray warehouse on Highway 101, talks about the opening price for cranberries in 1951.
"The cranberry marketing season of cially opened with a price of $15 per barrel ($3.75 per case) by the
As I See It
American Cranberry Exchange. General Manager Harold E. Bryant said he established a reasonable opening price to avoid the mistake of ve years ago when high quotations for fresh cranberries forced a major share of the crop on the processors, resulting in a heavy annual carryover, which glutted the market until this year. 'Our opening price may seem low to some growers and shippers but with a good quality crop of 915,000 barrels last year, and no carry over from the 1950 crop, we will have an opportunity to raise the price as the season progresses,' he said."
The third photo of the aftermath of the Bandon Fire highlights the 15th anniversary of the Fire, which was to be observed Sept. 26, 1951, "in the event anyone hereabouts wishes to remember it. For a number of years after the re a group who dubbed themselves 'the Soup Kitchen Crew' met at a potluck dinner to commemorate the occasion, but in later years this seems to have been abandoned.
"The serious re hazards of the present season are reminiscent of the fall of 1936 when a brush and slash re that started in the vicinity
of Lampa creek raced southward for several days, and on the fatal Saturday night turned back to wipe Bandon off the map."
The photo was taken at the foot of Edison Avenue looking north toward what is now the former Edgewaters building at the end of First Street.
I learned recently that Leo Lewandowski, 82, who owned a number of mini-storage businesses and rentals in Bandon, died several months ago.
BHS graduate, with the class of 1957, Chuck Goodwin died Sept. 19 at the age of 86 in Coos Bay where he had lived for many years, retiring from the Oregon Department of Forestry after 34 years of service.
Among his survivors is his wife, Linda, his son, Kevin, and his brother, John "Joe" Goodwin of Coquille.
I was sorry to learn of the death of Blake Lewis, the 36-year-old son of former Bandon resident Diane Blake Lewis, who was an accomplished musician and made his home in Washington. He was visiting his mother at her new home in the Portland area when he died Sept. 19 in the Hillsboro Medical Center after a long-term illness.

Hospital and Health Center will once again be offering free u shots adjacent to the main baseball eld in
City Park at its annual drive-through Flu Clinic on Wednesday, Oct. 23, beginning at 8 a.m. and continuing until 2 p.m., or while supplies last.
that occurred recently on Highway 101 near the KOA campground when a young man stopped to help after he saw a lady lying on the side of the road and a short guy trying to ag people down. He was returning to Port Orford from Bandon, where he had gone to apply for a job.
The hospital will offer both the high-dose vaccine for those 65 and over as well as the regular dose vaccine. In addition, COVID vaccine boosters will be available. It is safe to have both shots on the same day, according to medical professionals.
People need to be alerted to a scary incident
"These people do not need help," said a friend, adding that the young man was attacked before he managed to get away. "They need a vehicle and whatever else they can take from someone. He luckily got away but got the crap beat out of him by the guy. Call 9-1-1 do not take a chance. This could have ended so much worse." The Facebook poster said the police were noti ed. I want to share a bit more information about the beautiful oat that won second prize in the festival parade. The parade chair told me it was the Native Plant Society, but actually it was a collaboration of three nonpro ts: Friends of Bandon Parks and Recreation, Native Plant Society of Oregon - South Coast Chapter, the Good Earth Community

Bandon and the local plant nursery, Stillwater Natives Nursery. They worked with mural artist Vicki Affatati to celebrate native plants and pollinators. Many people were involved and great creative fun was had by all, according to the group.
A new series of classical music events, as part of the Red sh Music Festival, will
feature violinist Fritz Gearhart and pianist David Korevaar, with one of the concerts to be held in Bandon on Sunday Oct. 20, at 3 p.m. at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. Other local area concerts will be Friday, Oct. 18, First Presbyterian Church, North Bend, at 7 p.m.; and Zion Lutheran Church, Port Orford, Saturday, Oct. 19, at 2 p.m.
The League of Women Voters is planning to host a candidate forum
for local city council candidates, either Oct. 9 or 10, with the date and time to be announced later. It will be held at the Bandon Community Center (the Barn) with mayor candidates Mary Schamehorn and Angela Cardas; and council candidates Geri Procetto, Bear Slothower, Claudine Hundhausen, Shauna Schmerer and Archie Garrett, invited to participate. The incumbents are Schamehorn, Procetto and Slothower.
Talk about a busy week in the life of the mayor, this was it. I began the week by receiving a call from a representative of the Marriott Hotel to talk about their plans for Bandon, interacted with Coquille Tribal Chair Brenda Meade, pledging my support to work with them on issues important to both the City and the Tribe; attended the Tuesday Meet and Greet, chaired a contentious land use hearing that spanned two
afternoons, attended a special meeting of the Southern Coos Hospital board, dealt with a problem at the Bandon Senior Center, signed payroll checks at the city, attended the reception at Bandon Dunes for the Foundation golf tournament, helped property owners on the bluff get on the agenda to talk about erosion issues in removing gorse, talked with the Port Commission chair about the gravel lot in Old Town and lastly, took a
call from the First Baptist Church pastor about rehabilitation concerns for their Alexander hall after a main city sewer line plugged, causing a serious sewage spill at their meeting hall.
I'd say it's all in a day's work ... but in this case it was a week's work.
Don't forget that the next brush and yard debris pick up begins Monday, Oct. 7, with city residents allowed up to a maximum of 5 cubic yards.
Commission sets 2025 Big Game Hunting Regulations
The Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted 2025 Big Game Hunting Regulations at their Sept. 13 meeting in The Dalles.
The Commission rst heard staff testimony regarding the population status of Oregon’s game mammals, most of which are stable to increasing. No major changes were proposed or made to 2025 big game regulations beyond season date changes re ecting calendar date shifts and minor changes to tag numbers. Beginning in 2025, it will be more convenient to visit ODFW wildlife areas as visitors will be able to display their ODFW ID number in the window of their vehicle as proof of permit, rather than needing to print the permit.
Much of the public comment and testimony about the regulations focused on spring bear hunting, with thousands of emailed comments received and about 30 people testifying for and against. The Commission did not make any major changes to spring bear hunt structure, approving the staff proposal for a small increase in tags (2 percent) and a new bear hunt for youth hunters. Oregon’s current bear population is estimated to be approximately 44,000 bears of all age classes. The Commission also took the following actions: Commercial Dungeness Crab Regulations: Adopted line color and marking requirements to help identify gear
involved in marine life entanglements, which are part of ODFW and the industry's progress toward developing a Conservation Plan and Incidental Take Permit application to address marine life entanglements. The Commission adopted staff recommendations but modi ed the proposed rules to delay the line marking requirements for surface gear by one year (until Dec. 1, 2026). The rules adopted today also revised the TriState pre-season testing protocol and modi ed rules related to the removal of derelict crab pots by contracted vessels and electronic monitoring requirements for crab vessels to transit closed areas. Access & Habitat Project Funding: Approved funding to open private land
to hunting by renewing several access areas and increasing acreage in the Jackson Travel Management Area.
The Commission delegated authority to ODFW’s Director to issue proposed orders authorized under Oregon’s sh passage laws that are codi ed in ORS 509.585 through ORS 509.910.
Finally, the Commission heard an update on progress implementing the 3-Year Action Plan for Beaver Modi ed Landscapes, complimenting ODFW staff on progress to date. The Plan seeks to accelerate the restoration of American beaver habitat and beaver-modi ed habitat at the landscape-scale in Oregon.
Secretary of State LaVonne Grif n-Valade orders necessary updates to voter registrations ahead of 2024 election
SALEM — Ore-
gon Secretary of State LaVonne Grif n-Valade ordered updates to 0.01% of voter registrations today after the DMV determined in an internal audit that they sent a small number of inaccurate customer records to the Elections Division.
The Secretary of State’s Of ce was made aware of the issue late on Sept. 12 and acted within 24 hours. Residents impacted by this issue were noncitizens at the time they were erroneously
registered. They will be noti ed by mail that they will not receive a ballot unless they demonstrate that they are eligible to vote.
Only two individuals in this universe have a voting history. Their citizenship status at the time they voted is unknown. The Secretary of State will do additional due diligence in these cases.
The error occurred at the DMV when staff entered information into their system. DMV customers are required to
present an identity document when they request a new driver’s license or ID. The error occurred when DMV staff entered information about the type of identity document provided. One example is entering “U.S. Passport” when the document was actually a foreign passport. The other example would be entering “U.S. Birth Certi cate” when the document was actually a foreign birth certi cate. When such an error occurred, the customer’s information was
then transmitted to the state’s voter registration system. No individual took action to register inappropriately.
The DMV’s initial review of the error shows that it impacted 0.01% of voter registrations in the state of Oregon. The DMV is working around the clock to ensure that any additional records with the error are identied and corrected.
While this error is regrettable, the Secretary and the Elections Division stand by automatic
Das Publishes Annual Maximum Rent Increase For 2025
SALEM — Oregon Department of Administrative Services on Sept. 23 published the annual maximum rent increase allowed by statute for calendar year 2025.
The DAS Of ce of Economic Analysis has calculated the maximum percentage as 10%.
Implemented in 2019, Oregon law requires DAS to calculate and post to its website by Sept. 30 the maximum allowable annual rent increase percentage for the following calendar year. Per statute, the Of ce of Economic Analysis calculates this amount as 7% plus the annual 12-month average change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, West Region (All Items), as most recently published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, or 10%, whichever is lower. Only one rent increase may be issued in any 12-month period.
The allowable rent increase percentage for the 2025 calendar year
is 10%. This applies to residential rental units 15 years and older. DAS will calculate and post the percentage for the 2026 calendar year by Sept. 30, 2025.

a change in the law that capped the rent increase at 10%.

OSU receives $5.5 million to grow hemp-based product market CORVALLIS
– Oregon State University’s Global Hemp Innovation Center will receive $5.5 million during the next ve years to research new food, beverage and biobased industrial product uses of industrial hemp. With the funding, researchers from Oregon State and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service will develop customized hemp genetics that meet the needs of biobased product manufacturers and are adapted to
growing conditions in the western United States.
“Working together this way, we will be able to build a sound scienti c and business foundation for producing industrial hemp varieties that are not only adapted to Paci c Northwest growing conditions but can be used by manufacturers to produce new food, beverage and biobased industrial products,” said Jeffrey Steiner, director of the Global Hemp Innovation Center.
The decriminalization of hemp with the
passage of the 2018 Farm Bill created a boom of interest in the potential of hemp. A commercial market quickly developed around therapeutic CBD oil from hemp owers. But there are also a range of natural materials in hemp that can be used to create other products, including construction materials, textiles, packaging materials, and food and beverage products. Hemp is also adaptable to different growing environments and weather conditions, which is important for farmers looking
to plant additional crops, particularly with the uncertainties in agriculture driven by climate change.
With the new funding, Oregon State and USDA researchers will take a “genes-to- eld-tofactory” approach, in which they match hemp genetics with different environmental growing conditions and different manufactured products that can be produced from the plant. They will take advantage of emerging arti cial intelligence approaches
to accelerate this work.
The research team will use hemp biomass to create biodegradable and compostable packing products, including nursery pots, fresh produce boxes and takeout containers; building materials for use in housing construction; and plantbased food and beverage products made from hemp grain.
“The goal of this research is to develop multiple product streams from hemp with no remaining waste, just
as has been successfully done by the cotton, corn, and timber industries,” said Steiner.
“Having uses for all the byproducts of the plant will increase crop production marketing options for farmers and help support creation of new job opportunities in the domestic biobased economy.”
Funding for this new research partnership is part of more than $26 million the USDA has awarded to Oregon State in recent years for hemp research.

Umpqua Health in Roseburg one of seven Oregon facilities to receive special HHS funding
Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announced on Sept. 23 awards totaling $4.1 million to seven community health centers in Oregon to launch and expand mental health and substance use disorder services. Among those is Umpqua Community Health Center, Inc., in Roseburg, which was awarded $600,000.
Health centers are trusted community providers and a primary source of care for individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in Medicaid – making them well-positioned to respond to the urgent need for behavioral health services that are high quality, stigma-free, culturally competent and
readily accessible. These grants will help expand access to needed care to help tackle the nation’s mental health and opioid crises.
Mental Health America’s The State of Mental Health in America 2024 report demonstrates the need for this important expansion of services, finding that the vast majority of people with a substance use disorder in the U.S. are not receiving treatment, 1 in 5 youth had at least one major depressive episode in the last year—with over half not receiving treatment, and 10 percent of adults with a mental illness are uninsured.
“Access to behavioral health care is critical for communities of color and underserved groups,” said HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra. “HRSA-funded
health centers have a proven record of success in reaching underserved communities. This funding expands their access to essential behavioral health services that will benefit entire communities.”
The Biden-Harris Administration has called for requiring and funding mental health and substance use disorder services in all 1,400 HRSA-supported health centers nationwide that together serve more than 31 million people. Today, health centers are only able to meet about 27% of the demand for mental health services and 6% of the substance use disorder treatment demand among their patients. Last year, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee passed bipartisan legislation to enact the Administration’s proposal to make behavioral health a core health
center service. The health centers in Oregon receiving awards from this federal funding are as follows:
- $600,000 for Umpqua Community Health Center, Inc. in Roseburg
- $600,000 for Mosaic Community Health in Prineville
- $600,000 for One Community Health in Hood River
- $600,000 for Multnomah County health centers in Portland
- $600,000 for the Neighborhood Health Center in Portland
- $600,000 for the Wallace Medical Concern in Portland
- $500,000 for Asher Community Health Center in Fossil
Bedrock’s On The Bay To Be Featured On “America’s Best Restaurants”
Winchester Bay restaurant Bedrock’s On The Bay will be hosting a visit from America’s Best Restaurants in early October 2024. America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants, will bring its ABR Roadshow to the restaurant on Oct. 2. Popular dishes will be highlighted, along with an extensive on-camera interview with owner Karen Bedard about the restaurant’s special place in the community. The episode will be aired extensively on social media
channels at a later date.
Situated on the Umpqua River, Bedrock’s On The Bay opened in 2007. They were nominated to be on the Roadshow by customer Penny Lamon, who had high praise for the restaurant’s service and accommodation for her food allergies.
“They have always treated me with the most respect,” Lamon wrote in her nomination. “They employ the nicest people I’ve met. They have amazing servers and excellent service and food.”
The restaurant sports a rustic, simple decor with taxidermy, outdoorsy wall
art, and beautiful sunsets over the water. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and are best known for their pizzas, of which there are many varieties, and the clam chowder. They offer a variety of sandwiches, salads, seafood, broasted chicken and appetizers.
America’s Best Restaurants was originally to film at the popular eatery last March, but the event was rescheduled due to the passing of Mark Bedard, who was not only co-owner of Bedrock’s with his wife but also very involved in the community, serving on numerous boards and volunteering for
many causes. America’s Best Restaurants will be filming on location on Oct. 2 from 3 to 6 p.m. The restaurant’s finished episode premiere date will be announced on their Facebook page and will be featured on America’s Best Restaurants’ website at https://americasbestrestaurants.com/ rests/oregon/bedrocks. Bedrock’s On The Bay is located at 105 Coho Point Loop, Winchester Bay, and can be reached at 541-271-2431. For more information visit www. bedrocksrestaurants.com.
Portland Man Sentenced To Federal Prison For Stealing Dozens Of Firearms From Local Pawn Shop
PORTLAND— A Portland man was sentenced to federal prison on Sept. 17 for breaking into a local pawn shop and stealing 47 firearms from the federal firearm licensee.
Kory Dean Boyd, 39, was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison and three years’ supervised release.
According to court documents, on Jan. 31, 2022, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives were notified of a burglary at a Southeast Portland pawn shop. Early that morning,
shop owners discovered two large holes in a concrete block wall on the building’s exterior.
The exposed room contained dozens of firearms, 47 of which were reported stolen, including pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns.
ATF agents reviewed exterior surveillance video from the pawn shop and observed two vehicles and five individuals present near the holes in the building during the late evening and early morning hours of Jan. 29 and 30, 2022. Two individuals used a sledgehammer to
make holes in the exterior wall while Boyd and others carried firearms and firearm cases to the vehicles.
On Feb. 4, 2022, ATF agents searched Boyd’s residence and recovered eight firearms, including seven stolen from the pawn shop. Boyd was arrested without incident and admitted to his involvement in the burglary.
On Feb. 8, 2022, a federal grand jury in Portland returned a two-count indictment charging Boyd with the theft of firearms and possessing
firearms as a convicted felon.
On March 4, 2024, Boyd pleaded guilty to stealing firearms from a federal firearm licensee.
This case was investigated by ATF with assistance from the FBI, Portland Police Bureau, and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office. It was prosecuted by Lewis S. Burkhart, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods. PSN is the centerpiece of the Department of Justice’s
violent crime reduction efforts. PSN is an evidence-based program proven to be effective at reducing violent crime. Through PSN, a broad spectrum of stakeholders work together to identify the most pressing violent crime problems in the community and develop comprehensive solutions to address them. As part of this strategy, PSN focuses enforcement efforts on the most violent offenders and partners with locally based prevention and reentry programs for lasting reductions in crime.
Coquille teacher among 18 honored as 2024-25 Regional Teachers of the Year
SALEM – Oregon Department of Education, in partnership with the Oregon Lottery, has announced Oregon’s 202425 Regional Teachers of the Year!
Among them is Samantha Herron of Coquille Junior/Senior High School in Coquille School District.
Over the past week, communities all across the state have held celebrations recognizing these 18 regional winners.
Classroom teachers in Oregon are essential to creating conditions for students to experience belonging, wellness, and academic excellence. The Oregon Teacher of the Year program recognizes and honors educators who lead with the exceptional dedication, knowledge, and skills that place those values at the center of their practice.
“Now more than ever, we need powerful educators like these,” said Dr. Charlene Williams, Director of the Oregon Department of Education. “Each Regional
Teacher of the Year has earned this recognition because they champion every student, uplifting and empowering them to achieve, to create, and to feel a sense of belonging not only in the classroom, but in the wider world, as well. Students and families in Oregon are fortunate to have teachers like these whose inspiring contributions create lasting impacts that ripple out into their communities and beyond.”
Each year, regional winners are identified through a local nomination, application and selection process facilitated by regional Education Service Districts. Applicants submit essays and letters of support, and are assessed by a diverse panel of regional representatives on the attributes of leadership, instructional expertise, commitment to equity, community involvement, understanding of educational issues, vision and professional development.
Thanks to a partner-
ship with Oregon Lottery, each Regional Teacher of the Year will receive a $1,000 award and is automatically considered for
the honor of 2024-25 Oregon Teacher of the Year which will be announced later this fall.
“These exceptional
teachers inspire and encourage students every day in classrooms across Oregon,” said Oregon Lottery Director Mike
Wells. “We are proud to honor their contributions and vital role in making our communities stronger.”
Congratulations to Oregon’s 2024-25 Regional Teachers of the Year!

The Chamber Minute: From the Desk of Rosey Thomas
By ROSEy THOMAS Executive director, Bay Area Chamber of Commerce
Hello everyone! It’s Rosey here with your latest Chamber Minute.
We’re excited to keep you informed about the upcoming WBC Luncheon Forums featuring local candidates, along with valuable programs designed to support our businesses.
We’re joining Oregon Business and Industries coalition to take a stand against Measure 118 in Salem! The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce is committed to defending Oregon businesses. Measure 118 proposes an additional 3% tax on sales (not profits) for businesses with over $25 million in sales. This measure would impact approximately 2,400 businesses statewide immediately, leading to increased prices for goods all across Oregon and making our state less attractive for business. We urge you to join our campaign against Measure 118! Additionally, the Bay Area Chamber has voted to support the County’s efforts to pass Measure 6-217 this November.
This measure involves a .69-cent tax aimed at maintaining our jail's capacity at 98 beds. It has taken years to rebuild this capacity and hire the necessary officers, allowing us to implement essential consequences in the public safety sector. Notably, a .20cent communication tax levy is set to expire this year, meaning the actual request is only .49 cents per $1,000 of assessed value.
Please join us in voting YES on Measure 6-217!
Upcoming events: WBC Wednesday Business Connection
