High winds ensue from the result of Bomb Cyclone

BY NATE SCHWARTZ News Editor

Those of us who subscribe to the Coos County emergency mass notification system will have noticed high wind alerts this week, with the National Weather Service (NWS) issuing warnings for gusts up to 70 mph on November 18th, 19th, and 20th.

The warnings, in effect along the coasts of Douglass, Coos, and Curry Counties, made note of the dangers that violent gusts can pose. In addition to blowing down trees and knocking out power, travel is of concern. The NWS warns taller vehicles that

they may struggle in the wind, especially along the cliffs of HWY 101. It is estimated that in capes and headlands winds can reach up to 85 mph. We spoke with Tim Daldrup, a meteorologist on staff at the NWS Medford office, to find out just what was causing these winds.

Daldrup explained that these particularly fast winds are the result of a bomb cyclone, a powerful weather phenomenon caused by shifting pressures.

Bay Area Hospital again extends deliberation over strategic partnership

BY NATE SCHWARTZ News Editor

At a board meeting for Bay Area Hospital (BAH), on November 12th, members voted to extend the period of deliberation over potentially taking on a strategic partner for the hospital. BAH has been exploring the possibility of taking on a partner to help alleviate a mounting financial challenge, but locals are concerned they could see BAH absorbed into a larger, more inaccessible network.

As enumerated in a speech by Chairperson Troy Cribbins and a presentation by Hospital CEO Brian Moore that evening, the hospital has seen a sharp decline in patients using private insurance, for which the payouts for the hospital are more substantial. Discussions over a partnership began in June of this year, when it became clear just where the BAH was trending financially.

“We once enjoyed a healthy commercial insurance payer mix, and now nearly 87% of our patients are Medicare and

Medicaid beneficiaries. While the cost if care and labor has increased in the last 15 years or so, reimbursement has not kept up,” stated the BAH in an announcement of the extension.

Many local residents and employees of the hospital are concerned with the consideration, as partnership with a large corporate hospital chain could see an overhaul of operational procedures. Many staff are concerned they may not keep their jobs through a merger. BAH has operated independently for half-a-century, with it celebrating its 50-year anniversary this May. That independence has allowed equally independent physicians, some with hyper-specializations, to thrive here. Patients have come to expect relatively catered care, which many are concerned could be lost with a large corporate partner, who will undoubtedly bring with them its own criteria and services.

Expanding services has been in discussions as another means of

revenue generation and to give greater care options to locals. According to Moore’s presentation, the hospital is running at greater efficiency than ever before, seeing and discharging as many patients as ever, but claims

that government insurance payouts have not kept pace with the cost of operations. This is now the second extension of this discussion to date. To the BAH Board’s credit, they are clearly not taking this decision lightly. According to the numbers, they simply cannot keep operating in the red.

“We have to look at where we want to go,” said Board Chairperson Cribbins in the meeting, “5-10 years down the line, what is the healthcare space

going to look like? How can we best prepare for it? That is really what we’re doing here.” It is yet to be announced who the front-runners for that partnership are. Stay tuned for more information on this developing story.

North Bend gets update on its nuisance structures

BY NATE SCHWARTZ News Editor

The North Bend City Council received an update on the nine nuisance structures it has declared over the past year. In three waves, the city has chosen derelict properties as candidates for abatement.

The City’s Public Works Department identifies dangerous structures through a staff report, then sends owners a letter detailing their code violations. Should the owners not step up to secure the property or apply for permits to bring the structure up to code within 180-days, these properties will likely be requested for demolition.

North Bend’s Director of Public Works presented the properties to council, with a

rundown of what has been done up to this point, and what is expected moving forward.

“So we basically have 3 options in dealing with the structures. We went through the nuisance hearings. We can fine the owners for non-compliance, up to $300/day.

“We can get voluntary compliance, in most cases, we are getting voluntary

compliance.

“Or we can go through court proceeding with involuntary compliance. Which involves getting a warrant to enter the property. Then we have to prepare a report documenting all of the issues with the structure and proving that if we want to demolish it, that it has more value demolished than it does standing. Then we have to go to

The owner of these properties has done significant work toward securing and taking early development steps. The foundations have been excavated for inspection, and the owner has decided to renovate the 2451 property. The 2419 structure is a more complicated situation, and the owner has requested more time to decide what the best course of action

circuit court to get an order to demolish it,” explained Dunham

That last process would take months of staff time to complete, so the push for voluntary compliance has been the recommended.

The first six properties are past their 180-day compliance date, with the final three quickly approaching theirs on Nov 25th, 2024.

My choices did not all win in this past election, but I am thankful for each voter who peacefully participated in that election. I am also thankful for the trained and dedicated election officials who showed up and capably performed their duties. I am especially thankful for the process which is based upon beliefs and values grounded in our Native American, Judeo-Christian, other diverse spiritual traditions, and our respect for each human being, a process that we have always drawn upon in this country in order to honor each individual and their choices.

Merkley Monthly: Making major investments in the Port of Coos Bay

By JEFF MERKLEY Guest Column

Transforming the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay into the first fully ship-to-rail port facility on the West Coast is a huge opportunity for Oregon and our coastal communities.

This project will create good-paying union jobs and permanent local jobs, increase West Coast port capacity by up to 10 percent, reduce climate emissions, and strengthen our national supply chains. I’m fighting for the resources needed to make this vision a reality.

In October, Representative Val Hoyle, Senator Ron Wyden, and I successfully secured two major federal investments from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

The yellow taxi pulled up to a sidewalk in downtown Milwaukee. It was Friday afternoon, the weekend before Thanksgiving, and traffic was brisk.

A 27-year-old man hopped inside. As he sped off, the cabbie asked, “Have you heard about Kennedy?” Thinking it was the start of a new joke, the young man eagerly leaned forward and grinned. “No, I haven’t. How does it go?”

What followed wasn’t funny. The president had been assassinated in Dallas. And while it was a tragedy for the nation, it was a personal blow to that young man in Milwaukee. When Nov. 22 dawned, the cabbie’s passenger was famous. He went to bed that night a has-been.

Vaughn Meader was born in 1936 to a working-class family in Maine. While still a toddler, his father broke his neck and drowned in a diving accident. His widowed mother took a job as a cocktail waitress in Boston, leaving the child with relatives. Perhaps not surprisingly, Meader was a troubled kid. Unruly at times, he was shuttled between his mother (who was sinking into alcoholism) and various children’s homes.

He also enjoyed the limelight. He did a stint in the Army after high school. Stationed in West Germany in the late 1950s, he formed a G.I. country music group, with him also doing impressions of famous singers. Meader married a German woman, returned stateside, and plowed into the entertainment field in New York. His comedy act featured a spot-on imitation

The first investment of more than $25 million will kickstart the planning of the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port Terminal Planning Project. This funding is crucial to begin the design, permitting, and engineering needed to connect wharfs and container yards to the Port’s railways. Estimates are that, when completed, about 1.2 million containers could move through the Port of Coos Bay every year.

The second investment of more than $29 million will upgrade the Coos Bay Rail Line that connects the port to Eugene and the rest of the country’s rail network. It would also cut climate-killing emissions since using rail results in 75 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than using trucks. And it would help ease supply chain

bottlenecks, which we felt acutely during the pandemic.

These investments will immediately benefit communities on Oregon’s rural South Coast and boost the economy of the entire state by creating thousands of good-paying jobs in Coos, Douglas, and Lane counties. And, long-term, these investments will increase Oregon’s shipping capacity to global markets, which is vital for our semiconductor industry, agricultural products, and other world-class goods. In fact, in March, the Port of Coos Bay signed an agreement with Taiwan’s port of Kaohsiung to collaborate and share best practices for our maritime industries.

These are exactly the kind of practical, forward-looking investments in our infrastructure, economy, and climate that Con-

gress envisioned when we passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2021 – and we need these investments to continue, in Coos Bay and across the country. We also need to make sure that continued investments in the Port of Coos Bay include our fishmen and seafood processors. More than 18 million tons of commercially caught seafood are landed at the Port of Coos Bay’s Charleston Marina, making it the third largest commercial fishing hub in Oregon. That’s why, in June, I led members of the Oregon delegation in a letter encouraging the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to partner with the West Coast seafood industry – and, in July, USDA announced $22 million to purchase Pacific Northwest and West Coast seafood products.

Jeff Merkley

Fishermen and seafood processors are vital to the economies and culture of our coastal communities, and efforts to expand and upgrade the Port of Coos Bay should prioritize them, too.

These are just a few of the ways I’m working to bring federal dollars back to Oregon to transform the Port of Coos Bay – and I’ll keep fighting for the funding to make the intermodal container port a reality.

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

JFK Assassination’s Unintended Victim

of President Kennedy, who was just taking the national stage. Handsome and with similar features, he copied Kennedy’s mannerisms and even resembled him a little. Audiences loved it. When JFK moved into the White House, Meader found his calling. He made history on Oct. 22, 1962, when he and a small cast recorded “The First Family.” The album charted new territory by gently parodying the Kennedy family. There had never been anything like it before. (“Saturday Night Live” was still 13 years away.) The recording was an overnight smash hit, selling 1.2 million copies in just the first two weeks. Sales eventually totaled 7.5 million LPs, a record — until the Beatles came along and obliterated it.

Kennedy, incidentally, relished the attention the hit record unexpectedly brought him. Asked at a presidential news conference if he’d heard it, JFK said he had, adding, “I thought it sounded more like Teddy than me.” He gave the album to close friends that Christmas and even quipped at a Democratic Party gathering, “Vaughn Meader was busy tonight, so I came myself.”

Overnight, Vaughn found himself “the second most famous man in the country,” according to one newspaper. He was the toast of the entertainment world, appearing on the era’s biggest TV shows (Ed Sullivan, Jack Paar, Andy Williams, “To Tell the Truth” and “What’s My Line?” among them). Frank Sinatra even invited him to join the Rat Pack. These were the glory days for Meader.

Then Kennedy went to Dallas.

Iconoclastic comic Lenny Bruce didn’t let the assassination keep him off stage on the night of Nov. 22. He walked up to the mic, was silent for a long stretch, then finally said, “Boy, Vaughn Meader is totally screwed.” Bruce was right. All TV appearances and concerts were

canceled. Though Meader was already working on a second nonKennedy album, it was instantly shelved. In the profound national grief following the murder, Americans didn’t want to hear from a comedian who reminded them of their lost leader.

That’s when Meader’s life hit the skids.

The new album — “Have Some Nuts!!” — bombed when it came out in 1964. Depression set in. His drinking was out of control. His wife left him. He slept around and turned to drugs (which grew progressively harder). The few times he could land gigs, fellow comedians described him as “insufferable.”

There were three more marriages. He lost himself in religion. He made another album, this one called “The Second Coming,” about Jesus Christ returning to earth in the days of “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Sales were again in the cellar.

By the 1970s, he was living in his final wife’s hometown of Louisville, Ky., playing piano and singing as Abbott Meader (his first name), hustling any honky tonk date he could rustle up. He also dabbled in bluegrass music back in his native Maine. But it was nickel-and-dime stuff, and he existed on the financial edge.

Meader made a few late-life cameo performances (including the 1976 film “Linda Lovelace for President”) and even had a tiny spot on the 1981 comedy album lampooning Ronald Reagan called “The First Family Rides Again,” featuring Rich Little. It was a modest success … but nothing spectacular like the original. By the end, Meader was barely able to breathe as he battled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He was toothless, bearded and still angling for a comeback right up until he died at age 68 in 2004. Despite being little more than

the answer to trivia questions today, he had been a pioneer. He paved the way for Little, “SNL,” and a wide range of presidential impressionists They all owe their success to Vaughn Meader, the comedy trailblazer who lost it all in an instant one November afternoon.

A fire devastated this property on Sherman to the tune of $175,000 in damages, back in 2022. Permits were acquired upon the notice it was declared a nuisance structure, but since then, no major developments have been done, outside of cleaning up debris.

The owner has signed consent for access and was sent a consent to lien form. Once signatures are received the city will start abatement, with hopes that the foundation will be salvageable. The estimated cost of the four-month process will be $26,000.

This structure has multiple financial entanglements. It is scheduled for foreclosure by the County on August 25th, 2025, due to taxes owed, and Oregon DHS have a lien on the property for health services rendered. City staff estimates around $35,000 for

demolition, after which the property would be worth $70,000. The liens total over $60,000 against the house, so the City would likely be taking a loss to abate the house now. Council recommended allowing Coos County to foreclose the property and acting then.

This property has been the major success story of the nuisance process, so far. All code violations have been cleared up, as the structure was demolished

down to the foundation. Thankfully, said foundation was in good shape and development for a new livable structure on the property has begun.

pressure lowers significantly over a short period of time, which causes a lot of strong winds. We also have an effect where winds over the ocean, as they approach the land will get pinched between our coastal ranges. That act of the winds meeting the coastal range, and being compressed will also make the winds stronger.

is properly filed the city will conduct an abatement, and demolition of the structure, which is one of two on the lot.

The owners were noted for their cooperation and communication by Dunham, who wrote that a contractor has been hired, a hazardous materials survey completed and is scheduled for abatement. The owners are pushing for demolition as soon as possible.

“They’ve been very forward on this. Apologizing for it not being done, and I think this one will be demolished by the first of the year,” said Dunham. In conclusion, Dunham explained that fully abating these

The storm has garnered national attention, with NBC News reporting that over 500,000 Washingtonians lost power. Multiple traffic notices for incidents along the HWY 101 were issued, with weather a suspected factor. Roads remained treacherous, with portions of I-5 seeing heavy snowfall in higher elevation areas, due to the angle of the winds bringing affecting precipitation. “Our main piece of

“The process that was started, really since Pat [Goll] and I have been on council, has really started to pay off, and I appreciate the staff’s effort on it. I’m not sure we were doing much of anything when this whole question first arose,” concluded Councilor Susanna Noordhoff.

advice, particularly when travelling, is to be especially careful. Debris can blow across the road. A higher-profile vehicle can be affected by the wind. Or if you’re driving into the wind, it can cause some difficulty. Paying attention to the forecast, and maybe spending the day at home, if you’re able to,” advised Daldrup. According to Daldrup, another less-intense cyclone is being tracked on the radar. Daldrup estimated that the event is likely, and may bring another couple days of high winds, though this follow up storm won’t be quite as strong.

“I do need to look at it and get the latest

data. It won’t be nearly as impactful as the bomb cyclone was. It looks like it will spin up from the south and move to the north over the area. Mostly it will bring another round of strong winds to the Oregon coast and maybe the coastal highlands. Strong winds east of the Cascades as well, from maybe Thursday evening into Friday evening,” said Daldrup.

Powers reaches football championship game

Cruisers will face Harper Charter for six-player title

John Gunther For the World

Powers will play for the six-player state title in football after outlasting South Wasco County 40-30 in the semifinals Saturday at Cottage Grove.

The top-ranked Cruisers will face Harper Charter, the No. 2 ranked team, in the championship game this Saturday. Harper Charter beat the combined Prairie City/Burnt River squad 65-22 in the other semifinal game.

The championship game is at 2 p.m. Saturday at Caldera High School in Bend. Both teams enter the title contest with perfect records.

Powers overcame four turnovers and a few costly penalties to beat the Redsides in their semifinal game.

Just like in the quarterfinals, they trailed early, as well, before taking the lead.

South Wasco County had the ball first, and took just three plays to score, with quarterback Storm McCoy connecting with George Barnett on a 54-yard score. It was the first of four touchdown passes, all to different players, for McCoy. Marcel Sandoval’s conversion kick gave the Redsides an early 8-0 lead.

The Cruisers then promptly lost a fumble, the first of their four turnovers, and Sandoval recovered for the Redsides. But right away, the Cruisers forced the first South Wasco County turnovers, with Rene Sears recovering the miscue.

A big run by Jayce Shorb moved the ball deep into South Wasco territory and Sears connected with Patrick Mahmoud on a 10-yard touchdown pass. Sears added the conversion run and the Cruisers trailed just 8-7 with 6:19 go in the first quarter.

The first big Powers penalty came on the ensuring South Wasco County possession, an offsides penalty on a play when the Redsides snapped the ball over the quarterback’s head for what would have been a safety.

The Redsides then reached the Cruisers’ 10 yard line, but another snap over the quarterback’s head led to a big loss and the Cruisers stopped the drive when Mahmoud knocked down a fourth-down pass.

This time it was Braden Bushnell connecting with Mahmoud on a 67-yard touchdown pass to put the Cruisers in front for good, 13-8 after a failed conversion attempt.

After another quick stop, Powers drove the field and Shorb scored from 1 yard out. Bushnell hit Sears for the conversion, giving the Cruisers a 20-8 lead early in the second.

The Redsides had another snap over the quarterback’s head on a fourth-down play giving Powers the ball at the South Wasco County 11, but the Cruisers were unable to capitalize.

South Wasco County drove the field and McCoy hit Marcos Chavez for a 14-yard score, pulling the Redsides within 20-14.

Both teams scored in the final minute of the first half — a 17yard run by Sears for Powers and an 18-yard pass from McCoy to Coy Shirley for the Redsides — but South Wasco County made

its kick and Powers missed its conversion and the Cruisers’ halftime lead was 26-22, a close score by Powers standards for the season.

The Cruisers scored quickly in the third quarter, a two-play drive with Sears connecting with Talon Blanton for a pass down to the South Wasco County 11 and then a conversion pass from Sears to Blanton.

The Cruisers then recovered a squib kick, with Sears falling on the ball, and Sears connected with Brody Harless for a 6-yard touchdown that gave Powers a 40-22 lead with 6:22 to go in the third quarter.

Blanton recovered the squib kick again, with Blanton getting on the ball, but South Wasco County got an interception by Barnett. Powers forced another turnover, with Mahmoud intercepting in the end zone. But Powers had a fumble and this time, the Redsides converted, with Gavin Hagen scoring an 88yard catch-and-run touchdown on a pass from McCoy. Sandoval’s kick made it 40-30 in the final minute of the third quarter, but the score turned out to be the final touchdown of the game.

The final quarter wasn’t without excitement, though. Powers had a long touchdown run by Shorb called back by a penalty, got a sack by Dan Shorb to end the ensuing South Wasco County drive, and then lost its final turnover.

South Wasco County got the ball down to the Powers 4, but was unable to score. Blanton had a big sack to push the ball out to the 17 and the Redsides dropped a potential touchdown pass. Powers ran out the clock and advanced to the championship game for the first time since 2003, when Powers lost to Powder Valley. The Cruisers got their last state title in 1998, the last of three straight state championships.

In the win over South Wasco County, Sears rushed for 139 yards and the two scores and also completed 6 of 14 passes for 94 yards and two more touchdowns.

Bushnell and Jayce Shorb combined for 95 more rushing

yards and Bushnell completed 5 of 11 passes for 113 yards. Mahmoud had three catches for 88 yards, while Blanton had three receptions for 62 and Jayce Shorb three for 48.

Mahmoud had a team-best 10 tackles while Jayce Shorb had six tackles for loss.

For South Wasco County, McCoy completed 18 of 33 passes for 431 yards. Hagan had seven catches for 190 yards and Barnett five catches for 147. Barnett had a team-best 70 rushing yards but the team had negative yards in all, due to McCoy losing 101 yards on 10 carries.

Harper Charter, like Powers, is unbeaten on the season and twice beat South Wasco County, 45-6 in September and 53-20 on Oct. 25. The Hornets also beat Joseph, the squad Powers beat in the quarterfinals, 48-7.

Unlike Powers, which has six seniors among its 12 players, Harper Charter is a junior-dominated club, with one senior and nine juniors.

North Bend celebrates retiring city councilman

For the World

The North Bend City Council recently celebrated the dedication and service of retiring City Council

Member Pat Goll, who has proudly represented our community across two nonconsecutive four-year terms. Councilor Goll, a North Bend native, has deep roots in our city, where he has lived his entire life. With a lineage that includes his grandfather, a longshoreman, and his father, Jack, who dedicated

his career to the North Bend post office, Pat’s family legacy is woven into the fabric of North Bend. Pat’s pride in his hometown is evident in everything he does. His son, Corey, is following in his footsteps, working and raising his own family here in North Bend. Pat is the operations manager at Ocean Terminals, located just down the hill from Mom’s Kitchen and Ashworth’s Market.

Beyond his professional commitments, Pat is an avid outdoorsman. Whether

it’s bird hunting, clam digging, or salmon fishing, he lives for the thrill of the outdoors. Together with his wife, Liz, he also competes in Sporting Clays tournaments—though he admits she sometimes outshoots him!

Reflecting on his service to North Bend, Pat shared, “I am here for all the right reasons, to see North Bend be its very best.” Thank you, Councilor Goll, for your dedication, passion, and contributions to our community. North Bend is truly better because of you.

Reedsport upholds psilocybin ban, pushes for ballot measure in 2026

By NATE SCHWARTZ News Editor

Reedsport joined a handful of other Oregon cities in instituting a ban on psilocybin production and sales facilities in the area. Psilocybin, which is the psychoactive compound of ‘Magic Mushrooms’ has been the subject of scientific study and debate in recent times.

16 communities had psilocybin bans on their ballots this election cycle, with cities like Brookings, Rogue River, and Seaside all choosing to keep regulated mushroom sales and production out. Reedsport was in a different situation, however, with the City Council the ones deliberating the ban.

An ordinance had already been put in place preventing psilocybin industry which expired unbeknownst to the city, who was happy to continue waiting for further developments in the industry before introducing it to the town. In response to its expiration, the city drafted a new ban ordinance, with the idea of insulating Reedsport from significant change before all the facts are in.

“It’s just an unknown quantity,” explained City Manager Deanna Schafer, Reedsport City Manager, “The city has limited commercial space, and there’s a lot of unknowns about the whole psilocybin industry.”

It’s that unknown that moved the city to be cautious about adopting psilocybin in the first place. The Council wanted the relatively fresh industry to see some substantial development, or at least promising signs of growth, signs they feel they have still yet to see.

“We originally adopted the ban because we were recommended to, to be able to put policies in place, and look and see what we needed to do to have these types of businesses in town… I just think that over the last two years, as we have had this ban in place, there just hasn’t been enough development in the industry. I hear that it hasn’t been as popular in the rural areas as the state expected,” said Schafer.

Such uncertainty about its adoption has led to this continuation of the ban. However, it is only a temporary one. Reedsport citizens will get to say for themselves in the 2026 election cycle.

“There seems to be a lot of closures, still uncertainty in the business, so what we’re doing here isn’t saying ‘We’re gonna ban it outright’. It’s the choice of the people. It will be referred

for the general election in 2026,” said Schafer.

The ban has been described more as a continuation of the ordinance already in place for Reedsport, than a new development that will have outsized impact. But by upholding it, it prevents psilocybin industry from popping up in the city before citizens can have their say.

Recent studies have shown promising signs that psilocybin is useful for certain psych-therapies, and eases symptoms of anxiety and depression. Though, these studies are recent and still in debate among certain scientific communities.

Reedsport has another two years to decide its fate on the ‘Magic Mushroom’ issue, and hopefully research can be done in the meantime to give voters a clear vision of what they want for their community.

SWOCC receives fire truck donation from Charleston Fire

COOS BAY, OR – Southwestern Oregon Community College is excited to announce the acquisition of a ‘new to us’ Fire Truck generously donated by the Charleston Rural Fire Protection District.

The Charleston Rural Fire Protection District donated a 1991 Pierce Arrow Fire Engine to Southwestern’s Fire Science Program, replacing a similar engine owned by the College. The newer engine is in superior condition and has several upgrades such as LED exterior lighting, enhanced access to the interior pump assembly, aluminum wheels, and new tires. The engine has been maintained and tested to industry standards throughout its years of operation. The staff at Charleston Fire worked hard to clean and polish the engine, replaced some of the valving, and cleaned up the piping around the fire pump. Charleston Fire has been providing

“The Sounds of Christmas” Concert 2024

One of the South Coast’s longest running traditions, “The Sounds of Christmas” concert will again be presented at The Egyptian Theatre on Saturday, December 14, at 12 o’clock noon.

Lee Littlefield will delight young and old with the rich sounds of Christmas through familiar holiday songs, snappy arrangements of familiar tunes and lively Christmas caroling with the Wurlitzer.

Sponsored by the Egyptian Theatre Preservation Association, this special event has been a gift to the South Coast from its musical community for fifty years. Concert goers will enjoy the power of the 1925 Wurlitzer organ when Lee takes her place at the console. The only one of its kind in Oregon still played in its original installation, there continues an on-going effort to maintain and restore this wonderful instrument to its former glory.

Lee Littlefield has played the Wurlitzer since high school days and has performed in this concert since its inception in 1974, She worked tirelessly on the theatre restoration and is excited at any opportunity to showcase The Mighty Wurlitzer. This is

maintenance and repairs to the current Fire Science Program engine since it was purchased through grants from local fire agencies and fire associations. We’re happy to confirm that Charleston Fire has agreed to continue this invaluable servicing of the new engine.

The upgraded engine from Charleston Fire & Rescue gives the Southwestern Fire Science program a functional and appealing vehicle. It will serve as a key training tool and help attract and retain students. This engine exchange is a winwin. An increase in students in the Southwestern Fire Science program provides local fire agencies with more resources for their firefighter training programs.

You’ll find more information about our Fire Science program in our eCatalog. To learn more about becoming a student call or text 541-240-8227.

The three photos I am sharing this week represent a headline from the Feb. 19, 1997, Western World: “Moore Mill Co. donates truck shop to Port of Bandon.”

“The Moore Mill truck shop (first photo), a Bandon waterfront landmark since around the turn of the century, is being offered as a gift from Moore Mill Co. to the Port of Bandon.

“ ‘We believe giving it to the port makes the most sense and will assure the most beneficial use,’ said David W. Miller Jr., assistant to the president of Moore Mill. ‘The building adds charm to the Bandon waterfront, and it would be sad to see it go. We feel if anyone can save the building, the Port of Bandon can.’”

on the northeast boundary of the Bandon boat basin, the truck shop was later purchased by Moore Mill & Lumber Co. (second photo) to enhance its mill operation. It is one of only 14 buildings that survived the fire which virtually leveled Bandon in 1936.”

Moore Mill Co. president, has offered the historic landmark to the port.

“Alex Linke, port director, said he is excited about the possibilities, and believes the building can be saved. ‘Our harbormaster, Wayne Strong, and I went all through the building and it appears sound,’ said Linke. The port would be able to use it immediately for equipment storage, offices, and the port shop, he told commissioners.

The Mill had closed and was being dismantled in 1987 when it caught fire, and was destroyed.

The third picture was taken by me for Western World in 1998, and by that time it was determined that the building could not be saved. It was torn down in 2001.

* * *

The article about the Moore Mill Truck Shop came from two years’ worth of old Western Worlds (1996 and 1997) that I purchased recently at a garage sale.

The late Bill Russell lived on the next block over from my house, and I noticed that they were having an estate sale, so I walked over to see what they had for sale.

A man, who works for Mast Bros. Towing, approached me and mentioned that he had seen a box of old Western Worlds inside the home and he wondered if I would be interested. Of course, I was. He took me through the maze of rooms until we came upon the papers, which someone had started using to wrap glassware. Bill had saved

and 1997 in paper bags, and I was thrilled, since I had written most of

the articles during that period, and the history was invaluable. The estate guy charged me $25, but I would have been willing to pay many times that amount to obtain those papers. I have spent many an evening reading through those nearly 30-year-old newspapers, and plan to share as much as possible, particularly if I can find the photos to accompany the stories.

* * * I just found the latest

figures for the election, as they had changed somewhat from what I reported last week. Drew Farmer has defeated Bob Main 16,504 to 14,325 for county commissioner, and the jail levy was handily defeated.

On the local level, I received 1009 votes, compared to my opponent’s 885 and writein votes of 37 for a total of 1931 votes. According to the latest voter list from the county, there are 2682 registered voters in the City of Bandon, but I can tell you from experience, that is not the case. I sent out a number of campaign letters, based on addresses from that list (which is where their ballots would go) and at least 20 or 30 were returned to me as undeliverable. And I did not even bother to address people who I knew were deceased, but were still on the voter list. Not sure how long it takes to purge the list....

In the city council race, where three were elected, Archie Garrett received 1046 votes, Bear Slothower got 858 and Geri Procetto received 800. Shauna Schmerer received 653 votes and Claudine Hundhausen polled 614.

Melinda Torres, a former Bandon resident who is a member of the Bandon Youth Center and the Southern Coos Foundation boards, was elected to the North Bend City Council. Melinda heads the ARK project through the Coos Bay School District.

* * * I had hoped that the negativity of the campaign was over .... until someone sent me the YouTube video from Josh Meredith’s Facebook page concerning my defeat of his wife, Angela Cardas, for mayor. It was unbelievably classless and sometimes it seemed a bit threatening. One of his statements that really “resonated” with people was: “If you can’t win, make the winner wish they’d lost.” Hard to figure out what that means, but that is apparently their motto going forward.
