Coos County Fair a celebrated community tradition
BY BREE LAUGHLIN
The World
A lot has changed in the past 112 years, but one thing remains the same. Every year, residents look forward to attending the Coos County Fair and Rodeo.
Locals came out in droves for the Coos County Fair in Myrtle Point this year. The theme of the 2024 event, which ran from July 25 to 29, was ‘Country Fans and Rodeo Stands.’
“A lot of it is tradition – being able to come out and have that favorite fair food that you have always had, or go on your favorite carnival ride,” said Coos County Fair Board Chairman Brad Burnette.
Since 1912, the fair has become the main summer event for many Coos County residents.
It is a county-wide showcase of agriculture, crafts, industry and
business.
Burnette said he wanted to get involved with the local county fair because his children enjoy all the activities it provides, and he wants to see it continue to succeed.
The fair gives lots of opportunities for people of all ages, to exhibit their livestock, floral, land products, culinary, needlework, photography, arts and crafts.
Those who come to the fair not only get to see the wide array of local displays, but they also get to attend the rodeo and watch musical concerts, experience carnival rides, eat fair food, visit game booths and souvenir vendors, see trains and go to the museum.
A favorite activity for many fairgoers is watching young people participate in 4-H and FFA auction animal programs.
Special eyes on the 2024 Siletz Bay Music Festival
BY JEREMY C. RUARK Lincoln County Leader
The 2024 Siletz Bay Music Festival is scheduled to run Aug. 16-25 in Lincoln City with a performance in Newport.
Lincoln City photographer Bob Gibson will be closely watching the performances.
Gibson has been the designated Siletz Bay Music Festival photographer since 2010.
“It has been interesting to watch the Festival develop and change,” Gibson said. “It is a privilege to have access to these wonderful performances, rehearsals, and musicians. Documenting the Festival with still photography is a responsibility I take very seriously.”
Gibson said his goal is to tell the story of the festival music with still photography.
“Successful photographs tell a story,” Gibson said.
To do that, Gibson waits for the moment.
“I wait for that expression or gesture that translates into the music,” he said. “Some of the more interesting photographs catch the moment of communication between musicians or between the musician and the audience.”
Just how he locates himself at the festival is important, Gibson explains.
“I work to create photographs from angles and locations that are different from the typical audience ‘“position.”’ This often means being on a lift or backstage,” he said. “I cannot be a distraction, so discretion is critical.”
Gibson said he has experienced special moments over the years as he looked for just the right photos at the music festivals.

County officials to urge lawmakers to support funding for local roads and bridges during stop in Coos Bay
Salem, Ore. -- State lawmakers will be in Coos Bay on Wednesday, Aug. 7, to hear about transportation challenges and needs in the local community, as part of the legislature’s statewide Transportation and Sustainability Tour. County officials, small business owners, rural transit agencies, freight companies, and community members will share concerns, priorities, and ideas for solutions to help legislators build a transportation funding package in 2025. As part of the tour, the committee is encouraging members of the community to attend the public hearing to share local transportation needs and how the legislature should support the long-term safety and maintenance of Oregon’s transportation systems.
Oregon counties are facing structural funding challenges that impact core services, such as the maintenance of roads and bridges. Counties are responsible for the largest share of Oregon’s public road system, with more than 32,000 miles and 4,000 bridges.
“Coos County will ask the committee to uphold the long-standing 50-30-20 State Highway Fund distribution formula that supports Oregon’s counties, cities, and highways, as they develop the 2025 Transportation Package,” said Coos County Road Department Supervisor Paul Slater. “Counties, like our city and state partners, count on the State Highway Fund,” he said. “This fund is crucial for safety improvements and maintaining critical infrastructure that all Oregonians depend on — roads, bridges, sidewalks, bike paths, culverts, and fish passages.”
For more information about county road, bridge, and transportation priorities and funding, please go to oregoncounties.org/roads/ county-road-program/roadresources/ transportationfunding.
Our teams at CASA of Coos and Curry Counties, the CoosCurry Foster Parents Association, and Every Child Coos want to thank the Pony Village Mall staff for all their efforts these last couple of years in supporting our community, families, and kids. We love attending their community events and love the fact that there are so many free activities for our kids.
Our nonprofit programs rely heavily on our outreach efforts to bring awareness, recruit volunteers, and support kids and families. These events are very helpful for us in meeting our mission goals.
At the PV Mall’s most recent family fun day our CASA program made over 600 balloon animals and swords for kids, signed up 14 new families for our free diaper program, and gave out 1900 free diapers to families. Our foster parents’ association had a craft activity for kids and gave out information about how to become a foster parent and other volunteer activities that serve children in our communities. With their leadership, our
Pony Village Mall is becoming, once again, a fun place for the community. Every smile you help put on a child’s face helps your community significantly!

The commissioners at the Port of Umpqua have taken a stance against offshore wind energy turbine installation off the coast of Oregon. The reason for the lack of support includes environmental concerns, the effect on wildlife, the effect on the sport and commercial fishing fleet, and the impact to our already limited electrical grid.
The site assessment, which will begin soon by potential lessees is a five-year process, followed by a construction and operations plan, then further public comment. We urge the citizens of the Oregon Coast to join the Port of Umpqua to stand against this unproven technology.

Transportation committee statewide tour goes to southern Oregon
SALEM, Ore. – Today, the co-chairs of the Joint Committee on Transportation announced the venues and agendas for the fifth and sixth stops on the Transportation Safety and Sustainability Outreach Tour in Coos Bay and Medford.
As part of both tour stops, the committee will hold public hearings to listen to members of the community about local transportation needs and how the Legislature should support the long-term safety and maintenance of Oregon’s transportation systems.
541-269-1222 ext. 235.
“We need to improve our transportation systems -- from roads and bridges to buses and
bike paths -- by stabilizing the way we fund and maintain them,” said Rep. Susan McLain (D - Hillsboro). “We’ve had tremendous public participation thus far and I want to thank the public for telling us about the transportation needs and solutions they want the legislature to consider in the future.” Coos Bay and Medford Public Hearings details Tour Stop #5 Public Hearing - August 7, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Marshfield High School Heritage Hall, S. 10th & Ingersoll St., Coos Bay, Oregon Tour Stop #6 Public Hearing - August 8, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Jackson County Expo Center 1 Peninger Street, Central Point, Oregon
Both hearings will be available via livestream on olis.oregonlegislature.gov.
ASL and Spanish interpretation will also be on site for these, and all stops of the tour.
Members of the public interested in testifying can register in person starting 30 minutes before the meeting begins. The committee will also hear remote testimony if time permits, which the public can register for on the committee’s webpage at olis. oregonlegislature.gov.
Additionally, written testimony can be submitted to the committee via email to JCT.
exhibits@oregonlegislature.gov.
Preceding both public hearings, members of the committee will take guided trips of transportation facilities in the region and hold a roundtable discussion to better understand the transportation needs through the expertise and
lived experience of local partners and officials.
“Oregon needs a transportation system that is safe, functional, and efficient. This tour is bringing us into different parts of the state so we can see and hear first-hand what the Legislature should prioritize during the legislative session ahead,” said Sen. Chris Gorsek (D - Gresham).
During the most recent stops in Albany and Eugene, more than 70 people testified in person. Legislators heard about dangerous intersections on local and state roads that needed updating; the importance of continued infrastructure maintenance; opportunities to expand public transit, bike routes and pedestrian pathways; and concerns about increased wear on roads from tourism traffic. Legislators also heard about potential future avenues for funding that Oregonians want them to consider.
After four tour stops, the committee has received 506 pieces of written and in-person testimony.
Perspectives and information gathered by the committee during its 12-stop tour will inform legislators as they develop a plan in the 2025 session to maintain critical infrastructure, complete work on major projects, and guarantee the safety and diversity of transportation systems across the state.
The committee is vicechaired by Sen. Brian Boquist (R - rural Polk and Yamhill counties) and Rep. Shelly Boshart Davis (R - Albany, Millersburg, and Tangent).

This program gives youth in grades 5 to 12 a chance to learn the skills of raising animals for breeding or meat purposes. The animals they raise and bring to the fair include cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, goats, llamas and rabbits.
“We have over 300 4-H families, and most of them camp right here on the grounds,” Burnette said.
The fair chairman gave out a huge thanks for the Leep family for not only letting them use “Leep’s Field” for camping and other activities during the fair for the past 60 plus years – the family officially donated the land to the fair earlier this year. “We were just blown away,” Burnette said. “They have been supporting the fair for many years, and this is a vital part of the fair. If we were to have lost this a lot of these kids and families wouldn’t be able to here and be a part of this,” he said. A lot of work that makes the fair all come together and happen every year is largely behind the scenes, Burnette said.
Every year, fair board members and others work to do things like create new free-activities for kids, replace the roof on the museum, and maintain and upgrade barn facilities.
The Coos County Fair and Rodeo serves an opportunity to celebrate local community members, such as Rhonda Altenbach, the Grand Marshall of the fair this year.
Altenbach’s extensive involvement with 4-H and the Coos County Fair helped pave the path for her successful business as a horse trainer. She has also given riding lessons to hundreds of local youth and adults.
Every year, the fair also celebrates local ‘royalty.’
This year, the Coos County Fair and Rodeo Princess is Breanna Tolman, 14, from Bridge, OR. The Coos County Fair and Rodeo Queen is 18-yearold Paige Speakman. She is a Southwest Community College student who plans to continue her education at Oregon State University.
“They are doing a great job representing us, traveling around the state, going to different rodeos and promoting our fair,” Burnette said.

pianist, Dick Hyman, motioned for me to follow him to a storage room. He took the cover off a piano and worked with another musician on an arrangement,” Gibson said. “It was exciting to photograph this world class musician working in a small room surrounded by tables and furniture.”
Gibson also captured a moment from a rare viewpoint.
“I was privileged to photograph Maestro Yaacov Bergman from the viewpoint of the orchestra,” he said. “The audience doesn’t have that opportunity. The intensity and passion Yaki brought to the performance was palpable.” The choice of cameras and equipment is most important, according to Gibson.
“Discretion is critical. In that vein I must use a quiet camera,” he said. “Also, I always have redundancy with my gear. A camera or lens going down can not be the reason to fail. I always have at least two cameras within reach.”
In 2018 published interview with the Lincoln City News Guard, Gibson said the challenge in telling the story of a musician’s performance with a “still” photograph is capturing the “powerful instant.”
“The photograph that stays off the cutting room floor is the photograph that illustrates that powerful instant where there is an interaction that shows the intensity and concentration of the musician,” he said.
“It is fascinating to witness the creative process. There is a respect and appreciation shared by the musicians for each other. They each approach the piece of music with a unique prospective.”
Gibson’s music and performance photography can be seen at www.thephotographystudio.net. Prints
are also at the Photography Studio at 4846 SE Highway 101 in Lincoln City.

Pre Track Club athletes shine in rough weather at nationals
John Gunther For the World
Miserable weather didn’t keep a pair of Prefontaine Track Club athletes from earning All-American status at the Junior Olympics national championships in Texas.
The meet at Texas A&M University in College Station Texas was plagued at times by thunderstorms and torrential rain, including during the high jump, when twins Logan and Cooper Vinyard both placed in the top eight to earn their honors.
They were among three athletes from the club who competed in the meet.
“What an experience for these young men who made the trip to Texas,” said Jonathan Vinyard, the head coach for Pre Track Club and the father of the twins. “This track meet wasn’t an easy one at all, with Texas experiencing some of the worse weather to date in the form of huge delays due to lighting strikes nearby, to competing in heat and humidity with hard, sideways rain beating down.
“Each athlete had to deal with some sort of adversity while competing. While doing so, these three young athletes did what they had to do and trekked on. Even though there were no personal bests achieved, each athlete gave it their all against the best the nation had to offer despite the Texas weather trying its best to put a damper on the weeklong meet.”
In the high jump, Logan and Cooper Vinyard each cleared 4 feet, 1 ½ inches in weather including high wind and pelting rain that forced two delays in the event, each about an hour in length.
“Logan and Cooper were able to stay mentally strong and fight through the adversity,” Jonathan Vinyard said.
Logan tied for second and Cooper was eighth in the event in the 9-10 age group.
Logan also competed in the triathlon, which normally would have taken a few hours, but given delays that forced sending it to a second day, took nearly 12 hours to complete.
Logan finished 13th in that event.
Kaiicen Turner placed 26th in the long jump with a leap of 12-7 1/4 and 50th in the 100 meters with a time of 14.95 seconds.
Turner fouled on his first two attempts on the long jump, but was able to stay composed and get a mark on his final attempt, Vinyard said. Then,
because weather delays had pushed back events, his 100 meter competition was held simultaneously to another division’s 100 meters, with some athletes competing on the straight stretch of the track and some on a track in the middle of the field.
The Vinyard twins competed at nationals for the third straight year while Turner was competing in his second national meet.
“I believe that being involved in these types of major events over the years has helped these athletes be able to find comfort while out there competing,”
Jonathan Vinyard said. “They have developed a maturity to them, even at the young age of 10, where they aren’t overwhelmed by the bright lights. It is an awesome transformation to see and be a part of.”
The coach recalled the 2022 national meet at Sacramento State University which was the first time the majority of the club’s kids had traveled outside the state to compete against athletes from around the nation.
“I could tell just by the looks on their faces and their body
language that it was a little overwhelming,” he said. “None of the kids looked comfortable, relaxed or focused.
“Transition to now, these kids look like seasoned professionals — focused, loose and ready to compete. My hope is that by having such exposure to these types of national events, these athletes can just focus on competing instead of being overwhelmed by the moment and atmosphere of these Division 1 college campuses.”
Two other Pre Track Club athletes qualified for the national meet, but did not compete — John Parks and Sadie Green.
Several others had qualified for the regional meet with their performances at the state meet, including Paige Johnson, Gavin Simpson, Angelo Pedrini, Quinton Kloster, Reagan Krantz, Miles Baxter and Caden Wirebaugh.
“Overall, what a wonderful experience and opportunity these athletes were able to be a part of,” Jonathan Vinyard said. “I want to thank the Prefontaine Track Club and all the volunteer coaches for their work preparing the athletes as
well as the quality mentoring and leadership on display for our young student athletes here in Coos County. It wouldn’t be possible without them.” Vinyard also thanked the club’s many sponsors — Wild Coast Running Co., Gib’s RV, Juul Insurance, Deans Creek Construction, Ken Ware Chevrolet, Berger’s Top Service Body Shop, Honda World, Shak N Burger, Kozy Kitchen, Lakeshore Lodge, Pacific Properties, Bee Happy Dentistry, South Coast Family Dentistry, Aspen Lace Boutique, North Bend Lanes, Pacific Haven Realty, Mike the Barber, Barbara Lamb, Dorothy Komarek, Patricia Crawford, LaMont Swinson, Donna Vinyard, Doug Veysey, Janet Edwards, Chuck Ezelle and Cameron Potts.
“Without your kind donations, this would not have been possible,” he said. “You afforded these athletes the opportunity to compete and grow. You are instrumental in their success and we are forever grateful for your support.”

Darla Lesan, a long-time resident of Coos Bay, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, on December 23, 2023. She was 81 years old. Darla was born in 1942 in Shawnee, OK to Daphine and Austin (Bud) Willis. In the late 1940s, her family moved to Eugene, OR, where she attended school. She graduated from Willamette High School in 1960, then went on to attend the University of Oregon, where she met her future husband, Jerry Lesan. They married in 1962 and began to raise a family. Their son, Aaron, was born in September 1962, followed by their daughter, Rachel, in December 1966. Darla took a break from college to focus on raising her children and supporting her husband while he attended law school at the University of Oregon.
In January 1968, after Jerry finished law school, the family moved to Coos Bay, where they would spend the next 50 years. In 1971, while Jerry was teaching a night class at the local community college, Darla made a significant decision that would shape their lives for decades: she bought a large older house on Koosbay Blvd. Built in 1906 and later known as The Golden House, they spent 30 years restoring this home.
Darla’s passion for education and the arts continued throughout her life. She attended Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) to keep alive her dream of graduating from college. During her time there, she discovered her interest and talent in art. She was a regular attendee to the Coos Art Museum, where she took many classes and became an active member of the area’s art community. In 1995, she graduated cum laude from Linfield College with a BA degree. She continued to pursue her artistic passion, obtaining another BA degree in Fine Arts from the University of Oregon’s School of Architecture in 2003.
After college, her watercolor paintings were often seen in regularly held shows in the south coast region, including area museums and libraries. She was also a dedicated community member, serving as a volunteer and later as a board member at the Coos History Museum. She played
April 1, 1936 – July 23, 2024
Madelon was born on April 1, 1936 in Kearney, Nebraska to John McMahon and Twila (Johnson) McMahon. She passed away on July 23, 2024 in Coos Bay.
Madelon had been a resident of Coos County for almost 80 years. Our mother was a remarkable woman. She moved with her family to Powers in the springtime of 1948. She graduated from high school in Powers and entered nursing school at Providence Hospital in Portland the same year. Her education was interrupted by illness and she returned to Powers to recover. While in Powers she met the love of her life, our father, Clinton Eugene Cook, who had just returned from the Korean Conflict. They were indeed a handsome couple! They married in Powers in November of 1955 and there began a family of eight children, all of us born and raised in Coos County. Tragically our father died
a role in guiding the museum’s board and helped them realize their long-time dream of building a new museum for the city. Additionally, she served on the Architectural Review Committee of the city of Coos Bay.
While Darla was proud of her accomplishments as an artist, the art project that she was most pleased with was the restoration of her long-time home. She did the architectural design work for the home’s interior and much of the exterior, meticulously selecting period-appropriate colors, patterns, and paintings to reflect the era and style in which the house was built. The home became her canvas, and she completed all of the interior painting and wall treatments herself.
In 2018, Darla and Jerry moved to North Albany, OR, to be closer to their children and grandchildren.
Darla is survived by her husband Jerry, now residing in North Albany, OR; her daughter Rachel and husband Tony Mueller, residing in Eugene, OR; and her son Aaron, his wife Amy, and their two children, residing in Corvallis, OR. We remember her through her love of art, music, gardening, and dancing, and her great sense of humor. Donations in her honor can be directed to the Coos Art Museum.
in North Bend from illness on March 4, 1971. Thereafter our remarkable mother raised up this family of eight alone.
Madelon had supportive parents, including her brothers, and she had really close friends and neighbors, but when the lights went on in the morning and off at night, mom was there steering and attending to all of us. She taught us early to be friends with one another, to look after each other, to do our share and to be independent. She made room for our friends to visit and even shelter with us from time to time. She loved us.
There was always food at the table and room for another plate but we knew that we might need to cook some of it and for sure, clean up the dishes and sweep the floor. And remarkably, during those hectic times she managed to continue her nursing education and earned full time employment at Bay Area Hospital, finally retiring in 1998 as a Licensed Practical
William “Bill” Laird Theiring
June 13, 1943- July 18, 2024
William “Bill” Laird Theiring, a beloved member of the Coos Bay community, passed away on July 18, 2024, at the age of 81. Born on June 13, 1943, Bill grew up in Coos Bay and graduated from Marshfield High School before continuing his education at Portland State University where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. He also served in the Army National Guard. Bill spent over 40 years as a selfemployed residential contractor, leaving an indelible mark on the Coos Bay area. His craftsmanship and dedication to quality can be seen in the numerous homes and buildings he worked on, each reflecting his passion for his work and his unique artistic imagination. Bill loved to salvage building materials from old Coos Bay structures that were being torn down, and to give them new life in his creations.
A voracious reader, Bill was a lifelong patron of the Coos Bay Library. His reading interests ranged from Stephen King to Audubon Field Guides, but his primary passion was history. His extensive knowledge of the South Coast region’s history made him a local authority and a cherished resource for historical insights. During his life, he made contributions in photos, artifacts, interviews and writings to books on Oregon surfing history, histories of the towns of Marshfield (Coos Bay) and Lakeside, and numerous contributions to local museums focusing on the histories of Coos Bay, South Coast logging, and the Coos Bay port.
Music played a significant role in Bill’s life, with the stars of 1950s and ‘60s Rock ‘n’ Roll providing the soundtrack to his days. He attended many concerts over the years and passed that passion on to his children by providing them rare opportunities to see some of the greats live. Among his favorite artists was Bob Dylan, whose music always held a special place in Bill’s heart.
Bill’s interests were as varied as they were deep. He was an avid birdwatcher, a dog lover, and had a keen appreciation for art history, architecture, sports, and the outdoors. A pioneer in Oregon’s surfing scene of the 1960s, Bill, alongside his brother Jim Theiring, owned and operated a surf shop in Seaside, Oregon. In the

Our mother had an exceptional memory for birthdays and special events. She loved to read, take trips to the beach and was an Oregon Ducks fan. God bless our remarkable mother and please pray for her peaceful passage to an easier place.

Friends and family are encouraged
1980s, he also embraced the emerging sport of triathlon, demonstrating his adventurous spirit and love for physical challenges. In those days, Bill could often be seen running or cycling the roadways around the bay or swimming laps at the Mingus or North Bend pools. Later he fell in love with kayaking, and could be found exploring the many lakes and rivers of the Coos Bay area or riding the swell off of Sunset Bay.
Bill was preceded in death by his daughter Lisa Theiring, parents Laird and Alice Theiring, and many friends. He is survived by his brother Jim Theiring and sister-in-law Linda, son Brad Hahn, son Jon Theiring and daughter-in-law Kendra, daughter Alice Turpen and son-in-law Dan, grandsons Gavin, Nick, Cade, Elijah, and Marley, and granddaughter Kiera. His family, friends, and community will deeply miss his warmth, wisdom, and unwavering spirit.
A private memorial service is planned. The family requests that donations be made in his name to the Coos History Museum or Coos Bay Library in honor of Bill’s lifelong love of books and local history, or to simply be in the moment. Bill especially loved moments when the bay was still, “like glass,” or watching birds endlessly ride the thermals.

The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 11/27/2024 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: • 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR • AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TOMONTH OR WEEK-TOWEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’s-length transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you
do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE
The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU.

The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service.

David Lee “Hok” Haukoos
January 3, 1956- July 23, 2024
David Lee “Hok” Haukoos, 1956-2024, age 68, of Reedsport, Oregon, unexpectedly passed away July 23, 2024 at Lower Umpqua Hospital. He came into the world in Ames, Iowa January 3, 1956 to Phyllis Bryant and Dean Haukoos. His family moved to Reedsport, Oregon in 1969. He attended Reedsport High School and graduated in 1974. This August would have been his 50th class reunion. After graduation he went into the construction business, and he was building his “last house.”
David’s unexpected passing comes as a shock to his family, friends and loved ones, who are still reeling at the loss. He lived a vibrant life and still had so much ahead of him. He loved fishing, crabbing, hunting, trapping moles and cutting firewood. He loved his family! He adored his nine grandchildren. They were his pride and joy. He enjoyed watching all of their sporting events and sharing his love for the outdoors with them. Colby was his fishing and hunting buddy. David is survived by his wife of 30 years, Julie Haukoos (Buehler); son Gary Haukoos of Reedsport; daughter Christy (Brian) Kuehn of Albany; son Shane (Melissa) Henning of Redmond; daughter Megan (Christian) Walter of Reedsport; grandchildren Collin and Kaitlyn Kuehn, Marley, Madden and Macklin Henning, Colby, Noah, Easton and Makenzie Walter. David is proceeded in death by his parents, Dean Haukoos and Phyllis Bryant, and brother Ron Haukoos. We love
Cable installation to begin for OSU-led wave energy testing facility off Oregon Coast
BY MICHELLE KLAMPE
The cables will support Oregon State University’s PacWave South, the rst pre-permitted, utilityscale, grid-connected wave energy test site in the United States. When the facility is completed, wave energy developers will be able to test different technologies for harnessing the power of ocean waves and transmitting that energy to the local electrical grid.
Huge challenge
“Transmitting power from wave-energy generators to shore in a form compatible with the regional power grid is a huge challenge, and cabled connection from PacWave South provides the capability to test power-delivery technologies,” said Burke Hales, PacWave’s chief scientist and a professor in the OSU College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
“These cables are highly specialized and their installation and burial is a keystone of wave energy development in the U.S.”
The work includes installing four power and data cables ranging in length from about 10 to 13 continuous miles from a vault under the parking lot of Driftwood Beach State Park south of Newport out to the test site offshore.
Louisiana-based subsea cable services contractor
R.T. Casey is overseeing the installation of the cables. The work will be carried out by crews
aboard three vessels and will likely be visible to beachgoers and visitors for the duration of the installation process, which is expected to take six to seven weeks, depending on ocean conditions, said Dan Hellin, deputy director of PacWave.
The cables will be anchored in an underground vault at Driftwood and will run through conduits from the shore under the beach, then come up out of the sea oor about 1 mile out. From there to the test site, the cable will be buried about three feet under the sea oor.
The subsea cables, which were manufactured in Norway by the Parisbased rm Nexans, were transported via freighter to Louisiana and transferred to Offshore Support Vessel (OSV)
HOS Innovator, which will be used to lay the cables, to make their way to Oregon.
Once the work begins, a second vessel, the OSV Nautilus, will follow behind to bury the cable using a remotelyoperated vehicle. Those two vessels are expected to work around the clock for the duration of the installation and their lights may be visible at night when they are close to shore, Hellin said.
Safe distance request
“We are asking all mariners in the area to maintain a minimum distance of 500 yards from any vessel involved in the cable installation process,” Hellin said.
“While these vessels will be moving very slowly, they will be laying cables and have equipment operating on the sea oor, so they will be unable to stop operations or deviate from their planned
route.”
A third vessel, the M/V Liberty, will support diving operations during the cable installation and provide other assistance as needed. That vessel
will make trips back and forth from Newport while the work is underway, Hellin said.
On land, another group will be installing cables that run from the vault to a shoreside utility connection and monitoring facility on the east side of Highway 101 just south of Driftwood. Two of the three buildings at the site are nearly completed and the third is a couple of months behind them, Hellin said.
restrooms, beach trail and the viewing platform at the park so people can watch the action if they are interested,” Hellin said.
Access to Driftwood is expected to be limited through mid-September.
Once the cables are installed, the open ocean test site will be marked with a series of buoys to alert mariners traveling in the area, Hellin said.
Portions of the Driftwood Beach State Recreation Site parking lot will be closed beginning July 16 to accommodate the work. Beach access and park restrooms will remain open, but parking may be limited and recreational vehicles and other large vehicles may not be able to turn around. Alternative parking and beach access is available at Governor Patterson Memorial State Recreation Site 3 miles south of Driftwood Beach.
“We will maintain some parking and access to the
The rst wave energy developer is expected at PacWave South in 2025 and the rst cableconnected test is expected in 2026 under current timelines. Construction updates will be posted on the project’s website: https://pacwaveenergy. org/constructionupdates/. The ocean test site is on a sandy-bottomed stretch of the Paci c Ocean away from popular commercial and recreational shing reefs about 7 miles off the coast south of Newport. The site will have four test berths, which combined can accommodate up to 20 wave energy devices at any one time.
Background
Wave energy has the potential to provide clean, reliable electricity to help meet the world’s rising energy demands. Oregon State has pursued development of a wave energy test facility for more than a decade to accelerate the development of this industry. There currently is no U.S. facility for developers to measure the electrical and environmental performance of their devices at this scale. PacWave South is supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Energy, the state of Oregon and other public and private entities. Oregon State’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences is managing the construction and operation of the more than $100 million facility.
