For the last 30 years, shrub and grass res have burned far more acres and destroyed more property in the West than forest res, and the same was true this season.
Still, Republicans in the U.S. House – including Oregon’s two Republican representatives – are hoping Congress will pass a bill before year’s end that would tackle increasingly large wild res in the West by scaling back environmental regulations to make it easier to log and cut vegetation in federal forests, which account for more than 60% of the forests in Oregon.

Democrat Rep. Scott Peters, the “Fix Our Forests Act” passed the U.S. House on Sept. 24 with 268 representatives in favor and 151 opposed, including Oregon’s four Democratic representatives. It is expected to get a vote in the U.S. Senate after the November general election, according to Hank Stern, a spokesperson for Oregon’s U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat. Proponents say the bill would restore forest health, increase resiliency to catastrophic wild res and protect communities by expediting environmental analyses while reducing frivolous lawsuits and step up restoration projects.

open millions of acres of federal land to logging without scienti c review or community input, potentially increasing the risk of wild res while rolling back regulations to protect endangered and threatened species.
To counteract the bill, Oregon’s Democratic House and Senate members are introducing legislation that would direct federal investments in community preparedness and home hardening.
The Biden administration is also opposed to the bill and published a
statement a day before the House vote, saying it contains “a number of provisions that would undermine basic protections for communities, lands, waters and wildlife.” More than 85 environmental groups also submitted a letter to the House Committee on Natural Resources opposing the bill.

action, along with a host of crazy characters, is a sure recipe for one of the funniest shows of the season. Clue is certain to leave the audience utterly astonished!
Based on the 1985 movie CLUE, student director Lara Werelus hilariously brings together the beloved characters of the classic board game. Set in 1954 at a New England Manor house, six strangers are invited to a dinner party and given pseudonyms.
Professor Plum (DJ Black), Mr. Green (Jackson Stinson), Colonel Mustard (Alex Hickman), Mrs. White (Molly Green), Miss Scarlett (Halle Goohrius), and Mrs. Peacock (Rhema Johnson). The guests
are greeted by the Butler Wadsworth (Timmy O’Neal) and the french maid, Yvette (Luna Fendler). Then, their host for the night, Mr. Boddy (Issiah Ellis), turns up dead! Creating the intricacies of a mansion onstage is not an easy task, but the set crew led by student set designer (Lin Seiger) did an amazing job. it takes a small army to put on this size of a production. They have created an amazing balance between a complex stationary set, and more simplistic moving set pieces, with lights and sound by Amy Yoder and Jack Burns. The colorful period costumes were the hard work of Kyra Sydness, Alex Benevides, and Bella Stadden, and highlight the personalities of the six suspects perfectly, helpping to bring these vibrantly hued characters
to life.
Trying to live up to the expectations that come from adapting a classic piece of media can be intimidating, but North Bend High School’s production will keep the audience asking "Whodunnit?" as it gives a thrilling evening of pure fun.
Clue, the High School Edition opened at North Bend High School Cafeteria/ Multipurpose Room Friday November 8th, but you can still catch the second weekend. Friday and Saturday performances, Nov 15th-16th are at 7 pm. The Sunday matinee, November 17th is at 2 pm.

The rst photo I am sharing was taken in 1966 when long-time Bandon resident Robert "Bob" Fisher received a Coast Guard citation for bravery. On Oct. 1, 1962, Fisher assisted in the rescue of a woman passenger from the charter shing boat, Valauris, which capsized on the south jetty at the mouth of the Umpqua River. The late Jim Knox was honored at an earlier ceremony for his part in the rescue.
"The shing craft, with eight passengers aboard, capsized on the Umpqua River while attempting to return to shore in a heavy fog. At the time, Fisher had positioned his vessel Fearless at the entrance of the channel to cross the bar." After hearing that the other boat had capsized, he entered the very heavy surf to investigate. "As the fog lifted, a life raft was sighted with a woman aboard. By skilled maneuvering, the Fearless was brought close enough so that one of the crew members (Knox) could jump overboard and rescue the survivor. Two others of the ill-fated vessel drowned."
In November of 1960, Fisher was a deckhand aboard the tug "Rebel", with skipper A. T. "Red" Pedersen, when the two carried out heroic rescue operations and saved the lives of all 11 crewmen of the 117-foot Elizabeth Olson tug which struck the north jetty at Bandon and capsized.
"Ten of the 11 men, all wearing life jackets, were rescued within half an hour after the boat rammed the jetty, and Madsen (a crew member)
who was the rst to leave the tug, was tossed by the heavy seas onto the north jetty where he climbed to safety."
Three months later, tragedy struck again on the Bandon bar, which resulted in the loss of Red Pedersen and the dramatic rescue of Bob Fisher (second photo), the only two men aboard the Rebel.
I covered the accident for the Western World, and ended up with a front page article in The Oregonian on March 28, 1961, which jump-started my long newspaper career.
"Fisher could be seen clinging to the hull, as Ralph Davidson, Clyde Smalley and Tommy Conn of Bandon prepared a life line and entered the surf. Fisher either fell or dropped into the waves. He disappeared from view but was washed shoreward and aided by the three men and others who had entered the water to help save him.
"About a dozen people, including Pedersen's wife and two young children were at the beach. A stretcher was made for him of driftwood and blankets and he was taken to the waiting ambulance." It was some time before Pedersen's body was found. In August of 1961, Fisher was honored by the Coast Guard for his part in the rescue of the Elizabeth Olson crew, and Pedersen's widow received the posthumous recognition for her husband.
My uncle, Lou Felsheim, took a series of photos of the Elizabeth Olson rescue, which were published in newspapers and marine publications
across the country.
I saw a small social item in the Aug. 1, 1929, Western World that reported that Miss Rosina Munck and Miss Lois Rosenblad returned Sunday on the Alvarado (third photo) as guests of Captain K. Rosenblad (Lois' father) from San Francisco and other bay cities where they had visited with relatives.
Rosina later married Bryant Stevens, and they raised two daughters, Julie Ann and Susie, in Bandon, while Lois married Howard Cox, and became parents of Andrea (now Langley) and the late Roger Cox. All were raised here.
The Nancy Devereux Center, located in the Empire district of Coos Bay, announced this week that long-time director Tara Johnson "has departed from her role as Executive Director." Johnson is well known for her dedication to serving the homeless population in the Coos Bay area. The letter adds: "Our mission, to provide vital resources to our community, remains our highest priority. We are unwavering in our commitment and deeply cherish the ongoing support of our partners."
Sunday morning I received an email from the Friends of Public Health, of which I am a member, indicating that the business license of the Devereux Center is at risk, and urging Friends members to attend the Nov. 5 meeting of the Coos Bay City Council, where the issue was on the agenda.
"Should the loss of their license happen, Devereux Center clients would be unable to
Alice May Niemeyer
September 3, 1932 – October 31, 2024
Alice May Niemeyer, age 92, passed away on October 31, 2024, in Coos Bay, Oregon. Born on September 3, 1932, Alice spent her early years in the loving care of her parents, Claude and Ida Montgomery. She graduated from Albany High School and went on to lead a ful lling life lled with various roles including being a waitress, blackjack
and a devoted homemaker. Alice was a kindhearted, loving, strong and independent woman. Her life was marked by her dedication to her family and her faith, being an active member of the Bandon Church of Christ.
She found joy in reading, nurturing plants and cherishing moments with her family.
Alice leaves behind her beloved husband of 64 years, Eugene Niemeyer; sister, Ellen Worman; daughter, Kay ( Ed ) Michaud; and son-inlaw, John Fedrau Sr. Her legacy continues through
her grandchildren, Mary ( Mike ) Britsch; Sarah ( Dan ) Wenbourne; Anna Dias, Karenna Smith; and Kory ( Jenn ) Smith; great-grandchildren, Oscar ( Noemi ) and Elijah MontelongoFedrau; Karen and Talon Wenbourne; Jasmine Dias; John Fedrau III; Abraham and Ruth Fedra;, as well as her great-great grandchild, Matias MontelongoPerez.
Alice was preceded in death by her parents, Claude and Ida, daughters, Karen Fedrau and Kelly Smith; and grandchildren, Christian Amatulli and John Fedrau Jr.
A memorial service celebrating Alice’s life will be held on Saturday, November 30, 2024 at 1 p.m. at the Bandon Church of Christ in Bandon. Alice’s

receive needed services in our community, which means they would also lose access to life sustaining provisions and connections; and their chances to improve their current situation would also be removed. Of course, this would also cause unintended, and unfortunate added demands on our law enforcement and emergency services," said Cathy Salyers, Advocacy Chair, and Frances Smith, president of Coos County Friends of Public Health. Frances is the former long-time public health director.
Most of you have probably heard about the deadly shooting at the Vancouver, Wash., mall on Halloween evening. It hit a bit close to home

life was a testament to her enduring spirit and the deep love she had for her family and community.

In my recent item about the death of longtime teacher Richard Handley, I failed to mention one of the survivors, as I had no access to an obituary. In addition to his widow Louise, Dick is survived by four children, Rick, Beth, Mike and Jennifer Handley, the latter of whom lives in Bellingham, Wash., and their families.
If you missed the Bandon Playhouse presentation of Coquille River Anthology, you missed a great show. If you don't know the story of Bandon pharmacist Otto Shindler and his wife, Geneva, being kidnapped at gunpoint by a trio of thugs, you do now if
you attended the show. I was fortunate to sit with the Shindlers' grandson, Bo Shindler of Gold Beach, who enjoyed it, as did I. There was so much history woven into the stories told by the cast, including Bobbi Neason, Grant Goodwin, Amy Moss Strong, Corrie Gant, Nameer El-Kadi and Meara Bell Stadelman.
The rainfall for October measured 4.91 inches, compared to last year's 3.74 and the previous year's rainfall of 1.80 inches.
There was no Meet and Greet Nov. 5. "The Story of Bandon Schools" will be the subject of the Meet and Greet Tuesday, Nov. 19. Retired Bandon teacher and Bandon History Museum volunteer Jim Proehl will lead the
state House Republicans to roll back restrictions on logging in state and private forests. Three prominent state lawmakers recently called on their peers in the state Legislature to reform forest management and logging policies they say would prevent large res from starting and spreading.
More than 2,000 wild res in Oregon this season have burned a record of about 2 million acres – and not largely in forests. About 75% of the acres scorched were in grass and shrubland, mostly in eastern Oregon, according to the Wildland Mapping Institute.

Bandon Showcase was to present Halie Loren in concert at the Sprague Theater on Thursday, Nov. 14.
One of Oregon's brightest jazz vocal stars, Loren's de nition of music is wide and deep. She was joined by Matt Treder on piano, Rob Kohler on bass, and Rob Birdwell on trumpet. Complimentary refreshments during intermission were provided by Coastal Mist, and Larry and Sheila Langenberg.
I've never been a huge fan of vote by mail, and the latest problems make
ronmental reviews that now must be done before federal agencies approve areas for post- re logging, pre- re logging, or “thinning” – which involves hiring timber companies to cut trees that could be dry fuel for a re but also requires typically that they get some marketable timber out of the deal – or burning, on federal lands.
It would allow 10,000-acre swaths of forest to forgo federally required environmental reviews, including a site-speci c review of potential impacts to threatened or endangered species, before logging takes place. Currently, only up to 3,000-acre swaths can be exempted from reviews required by the National Environmental Policy Act.
me even more concerned. Two days before the ballot boxes were set re in Vancouver and Portland, I received an email from a constituent who was concerned that there was no longer a secure ballot box at city hall, like there was for many years. Instead the lone drop box is in an isolated parking lot. I called the county clerk, who apparently did not appreciate my call, because she was not aware that there had been a secure box at city hall, and she said there are cameras at the drop box sites. She also cautioned me and said it was unprofessional of me to recommend that a person either mail their ballot or drive it to Coquille. I was "allowed" to tell them their options, but I could make no recommendation. Really? And that was before
I read that a number of Coos County residents did not get their ballots on time, supposedly because of the U.S. Post Of ce. Also, another article mentioned that someone had tried to break into a small Oregon post of ce in an attempt to destroy the ballots. Makes me wish for the good ole' days of voting in an enclosed booth with no family member or anyone else looking over my shoulder. And not having to worry if my ballot would be secure. Even when we went to the polls, people still had the option of having their ballot mailed to them if they could not make it to the polls.
I read that a football game at Tillamook, between the Cheesemakers and Milwaukie high school, Oct. 25, ended
schutes counties, said the act would help prevent another record wild re season like the one this summer.
“It’s a comprehensive proposal that would improve forest management in areas at the highest risk for wild res by using advanced science and technology. Providing needed resources to those affected, and working to prevent wildres from starting in the rst place, will continue to be top priorities,” she said in the release.
A summary of the bill shared by Chavez-DeRemer describes millions of acres of federal forests as “overgrown” and in need of large-scale intervention.
prematurely at half time due to allegations of unsportsmanlike conduct and the use of racial epithets.
An article said, "The game ended at halftime after a tense rst half, in which Tillamook players and a referee used racial epithets toward Milwaukie players, creating an environment so threatening that the visiting team refused to resume the game in the third quarter. The racial epithets started on the eld, with slurs directed toward at least one Milwaukie player."
The Tillamook paper reported tension between the two teams also led to multiple unsportsmanlike penalties. The game was stopped twice so that refs and coaches could discuss the tensions.
The incident is being investigated by the OSAA.
scribed re across Western states found wild re only occurs on about 1% of treated forests, and that it’s largely ineffective because those treatments last only about 10 to 20 years before the vegetation grows back. Studies have shown thinning and prescribed burning around homes and cities can be effective at keeping wild res from moving quickly into communities.

Proponents of the Fix Our Forests Act say it would speed up cumbersome environmental reviews that have kept the U.S. Forest Service and the Department of the Interior from initiating projects that would reduce re-fueling vegetation on the landscape.

U.S. Rep. Andrea Salinas, a Democrat representing Oregon’s 6th District in the heart of the Willamette Valley, is co-sponsoring a bill called the “Community Protection and Wild re Resilience Act” that would invest in community and home hardening, landscape resiliency to wild re and community preparedness plans. And in the U.S. Senate, Wyden of Oregon is drafting a similar bill called the Wild re Safe Communities Act of 2024. Wyden said in an email that the Fix Our Forests Act would make federal forest management more controversial and less successful.
“The bill undermines bedrock environmental laws, and would allow poorly
