She has been with the Port for more than 12 years, and
most recently served as Chief Administration Of cer.
“I'm now focusing on operations of the Port and sustainability at this time, focusing on our existing infrastructure and bringing in new customers for vacant spaces, and supporting existing customers and making sure their businesses are viable,” she said.
Comstock is the rst female CEO in the Port’s 100-year history. She brings extensive experience in the Port’s operations, having worked in a variety of signi cant roles.

Biden-Harris Administration Announces More Than $12M in Grants for Five Communities to Make Local Roads Safer in Oregon
Washington, D.C. –
U.S. Transportation
Secretary Pete Buttigieg
announced $12,520,308 in grants for Oregon as part of $1 billion in grants through President Joe Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program.
The funding will go directly to 354 local, regional, and tribal communities across the country, including ve in Oregon, to improve roadway safety and prevent deaths and serious injuries on America’s rural and urban roads, including some of the most dangerous in the country.
The announcement – a key component of DOT’s comprehensive National Roadway Safety Strategy launched in 2022 – is paired with the National Highway Traf c Safety Administration’s release of its early estimates of traf c fatalities for the rst half of 2024, estimating that traf c fatalities declined for the ninth straight quarter. An estimated 18,720 people died
in motor vehicle traf c crashes, a decrease of about 3.2% as compared to 19,330 fatalities projected to have occurred in the rst half of 2023. Fatalities declined in both the rst and second quarters of 2024.
Even with road fatalities decreasing over the past nine quarters straight, they remain far too high. Over 40,000 people have died on U.S. roads in each of the last three years, and a disproportionate number of people are killed in rural areas or while walking or bicycling. Additionally, traf c fatalities remain a leading cause of death for school-aged children and young adults.
“Through new funding programs like Safe Streets and Roads for All, the Biden-Harris Administration is helping communities of all sizes make their roadways safer
for everyone who uses them,” said Buttigieg.
“We should be energized by the fact that together we’ve reduced traf c fatalities for more than two years in a row now, but so much work remains to fully address the crisis on our roads. Today’s roadway safety grants will deliver funding directly to 354 communities and continue the important work we’re doing to reduce traf c fatalities to the only number that’s acceptable: zero.”
With this round of announced awards: - Rural communities comprise around half of all SS4A grant award recipients to date. - 682 SS4A communities (43% of award recipients) have populations under 50,000. - 793 SS4A award recipients (50% of all recipients to date) were new
direct Federal funding recipients to USDOT.
- Over half of SS4A funds will bene t underserved communities, providing equitable investment to places that need funding the most.
The City of Portland was awarded $9.6 million for the Safe Systems on 82nd Ave: State Highway to Civic Corridor project for safety improvements on a 7-mile segment of 82nd Avenue, a ve-lane arterial on the regional high-injury network. This project will close critical crossing gaps, deploy proven tools to address
high-crash locations, and improve safety and equity for one of Portland’s most important highcrash corridors. Project components include installing raised center medians, a pedestrian signal, full traf c signals, “no turn on red” at major traf c signal intersections, updating signal timing, as well as funding a safety education and marketing campaign.
The City of Klamath Falls was awarded $2.0 million for the City of Klamath Falls Intersection Safety Countermeasures for Transportation
Disadvantaged Populations project to design and construct safety improvements at ve intersections where a fatal or serious injury crash has been recorded. Oregon also received $920,308 for three safety planning and demonstration projects. The third and nal round of this year’s SS4A grant awards is expected to be announced in November.

HOLY COW! HISTORY: An Old Woman, a Flag and a Legend That Just Won’t Die
By J. Mark Powell InsideSources.com
The words once echoed through countless classrooms. “Up from the meadows rich with corn, clear in the cool September morn;
The clustered spires of Frederick stand, greenwalled by the hills of Maryland.”
It’s John Greenleaf Whittier’s poem “Barbara Fritchie,” an American classic. For many decades, schoolchildren memorized and recited the story of how, as Confederate troops were passing through her town, the elderly Fritchie bravely snatched a banner that was shot down by Rebel bullets and shouted the poem’s famous lines, “‘Shoot if you must, this old gray head; But spare your country’s flag!’ she said.”
Next, Gen. Stonewall Jackson plays the Southern gentleman, gallantly sparing her.
“‘Whoever touches a
A WORD PLEASE: Opinion
a word, Please By June Casagrande
hair of yon gray head; Dies like a dog! March on!’ he said.” And with that, the Confederates hurry on to the defeat awaiting them at Antietam.
The poem was a smash hit when it debuted in 1863, making Barbara Fritchie a household name in the North and going on to torment generations of elementary students forced to recite its 60 verses by rote. Her legacy lives on in the Barbara Fritchie Restaurant, the Barbara Fritchie Handicap (one of Maryland’s most prestigious horse races), and even the Barbara Fritchie Classic, a motorcycle race held since 1922. (Though a scheduling snafu forced it to be scrubbed this year.)
But did the flag incident actually happen? Sort of. Confederate soldiers really did pass through Frederick, Md., in September 1862. And something seems to have taken place concerning a
Chaise longues — those reclining full-length chairs that beckon you to the beach — are making me nostalgic. Not for days when I had more free time and closer proximity to the ocean, but for days when all the editing rules I learned were still relevant. Editing rules like: It’s chaise longue, not chaise lounge.
The nostalgia hit me recently when I read this sentence about digital nomads in the New York Times Magazine: “Then, from a chaise longue on the beach, they can register a business with the tap of a button.”
Outside the New York Times, “longue” sightings are rare these days. More and more, I see “chaise lounge” instead. That’s not necessarily a problem. But when you’re a longtime copy editor who once believed that editing rules were universal and people who knew them were uniquely valuable, it’s hard to let go. Apparently, some editing bigwig at
U.S. flag, a woman, and a Confederate officer. Things get murky from there.
A novelist in Washington passed along the gist of an incident she’d heard third-hand in a letter to Whittier, adding, “The story is tailored for you.” Whittier knew a good thing when he saw it and put the tale to verse. The war was going poorly for the North when the poem appeared in The Atlantic. It was a morale booster, a positive, feel-good epic where heroism triumphs. And it put a little town and an elderly woman on the map.
Barbara Fritchie (also spelled Frietchie) really lived in Frederick. She was a staunch Unionist — and a slave owner, too. But when the Confederates blew through town, she was 95 years old and reportedly confined to bed. Hardly someone who’d grab a fallen flag and taunt passing Rebels.
the New York Times feels the same way.
“Chaise longue” appears in their pages about three or four times a month. The only recent instances of “chaise lounge” appear in the proper name of some product that spells it that way.
This can get a little awkward, like in the Times’ 2019 article “Shopping for a Chaise Longue” that lists five chaise longues named “chaise lounge,” sometimes with both spellings appearing in the same sentence. It’s the kind of tug-of-war between old and new that we editors see a lot.
Take “healthy,” for example, back when I was new on the job, editors were nearly unanimous in insisting that “healthy” means a state of good health and that only “healthful" can mean “promoting good health.” So when we saw something like “Eat a healthy diet,” it was our job to change that to “eat a healthful diet.”
No one’s on board with that rule anymore. The Associated Press Stylebook lets you use “healthy” to mean “health-promoting,” as do dictionar-
A woman in her 30s named Mary Quantrill did wave an American flag from her front porch and seems to have gotten into a spat with a Confederate officer. (Though not Stonewall Jackson, as the poem claims, because he wasn’t there that day). Seven witnesses documented that particular encounter. Quantrill believed for the rest of her life the successful poem should have carried her name. She wrote to Whitter in 1876, begging him to set the record straight. She even added “Barbara” after her signature. But Whittier’s words went untouched.
There was grumbling around Frederick the moment the poem appeared in print that a genuine heroine (be it Mary Quantrill or someone else) was denied her rightful 15 minutes of fame. But city leaders realized something else: “Barbara Fritchie” was good for
business. Very, very good. Tourists came to town, eager to see where the famous confrontation took place. Her name adorned products and tourist-related services. Frederick’s movers and shakers quietly adopted a “Don’t kill the goose that laid the golden egg” attitude.
Thus, when President Franklin Roosevelt brought Britain’s visiting Winston Churchill there in 1943 (who stunned FDR by reciting all 60 lines of the poem from memory), it was Barbara Fritchie’s name that Churchill spoke, not Mary Quantrill’s.
And so the poem still reads today. Some locals in Frederick would like to see Quantrill get some type of recognition, such as a memorial marker at her gravesite. A final footnote to this bit of historical unfairness. One fact is beyond dispute: The real Barbara Fritchie did, indeed, own a small
ies. Even those traditional New York Times editors must agree, as evidenced by the Aug. 2 headline “How Healthy Are Tomatoes?” As you can guess, the article wasn’t about whether tomatoes themselves were feeling spry and running marathons. It was about tomatoes’ health-promoting effects, and it doesn’t use the word “healthful” even once.
Having grown up in a time when casual speakers never used the stuffy-sounding “healthful,” I’ve always been fine with using “healthy” this way. But I’m still a little wistful that my once-relevant morsel of editing wisdom, which apparently was a throwback to the 1800s, is now useless.
I’m not so accepting about the status of “champing at the bit.” We use this term to mean someone’s very eager to do, get or see something. Like “Bob’s champing at the bit to get that promotion.” The “bit,” of course, is a reference to the metal mouthpiece in a horse’s bridle. Ever see a movie with spirited horses seemingly gnashing their teeth to be allowed to run free? That’s champing
American flag, and her family says she did wave it (in cheering, not defiance) when Union troops marched past her house a week after the Confederates came through. But they don’t write poems about that.

at the bit. And as a young editor and young horse enthusiast before that, I was taught in no uncertain terms that horses champ. Here’s Merriam-Webster’s definition of the intransitive verb: “1. to make biting or gnashing movements, 2. to show impatience of delay or restraint — usually used in the phrase champing at the bit: ‘he was champing at the bit to begin.’”
But of course, horses chomp, too. And though chomping is more about eating and champing is more about gnashing, it’s a blurry line, which is why AP style allows followers to choose either “champing at the bit” or “chomping at the bit.” Another “I used to know” to file under “No longer relevant.”

Sawdust Theatre Presents A Boy Named Sue, a tribute to Johnny Cash and other country legends
Oregon's finest horn band tribute to Johnny Cash and other country legends, “A Boy Named Sue” will be presented at Coquille’s Sawdust Theatre this October.
Fronted by Cuchulain, a low-voiced songwriter with a wry wit, the band performs country favorites from the Man in Black himself, as well as Garth Brooks, Josh Turner, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson. Sure to be a crowd favorite, Cuchulain's band opens with a short set of originals before bringing the house down with time-tested honky-tonk classics.
Showtime is Oct. 26 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. at Sawdust Theatre, 120 N. Adams St. in Coquille.
Tickets are $15 prior to show and $20 at the door.
Cuchulain has a penchant for concept albums. His last three albums have been, in reverse chronological
order, a visual album of minute-long songs, an album of duets, and a folk rock opera. Featured four years in a row as the NPR Music Tiny Desk Contest "Desk of the Day," the multi-instrumentalist released his album FEAT, which was called "an as-yet-unpublished portion of the Great American Songbook."
Cuchulain's deep baritone and clever lyrics have drawn comparisons to Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, and Randy Newman. From the Kennedy Center to the Oregon Country Fair, from Club Passim to the Cobblestone in Dublin, Cuchulain's lyrics have brought laughs and tears to audiences across the U.S. and beyond as he shared the stage with renowned folk acts including Ira Wolf, Jeffrey Lewis, Viv & Riley, Billy Keane, Upstate, Julianna Zachariou, and more.
His “Sing In The Shower” single release tour took him to Europe in the summer of 2022, and his nationwide “My Dog” single release tour crisscrossed the U.S. in summer of 2023. His latest album - “Minute To Win It” - a visual album of 20 songs in 20 minutes - peaked at 20,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and was also featured in the Portland Festival for Cinema, Animation, and Technology. His next album of love songs, Window Seat, comes out Valentine's Day 2025. To purchase tickets, visit www.tix.com/ticket-sales/ sawdusttheatre/4691.

Helen was born in Chicago on December 13, 1936. She and her family moved to Bandon, Oregon in 1948 where her father and partner built and operated the Bandon Wayside Motel. She would graduate from Bandon High School and marry her hometown sweetheart Gene Schrader in 1954. This past June 12, Gene and Helen celebrated 70 years of marriage!
Helen's passion in life was her family and music. Many of us know Helen because of her love of playing the piano. She began
playing when she was three years old and could play just about anything by ear. She played on Sundays for her church, the Calapooia Free Methodist Church in Sutherlin for many years. She also enjoyed playing at area assisted living facilities; sharing her upbeat songs with so many. Helen was a lifetime member of Eastern Star and served previously as the Grand Pianist for the state of Oregon playing for audiences up to 1,000 people. She is now playing the piano for Jesus in heaven. Helen also loved to travel. Special trips included a family reunion trip to Germany and an anniversary trip to Hawaii. Upon retiring,
Gene and Helen bought a 5th wheel and began traveling the United States and spent time as park hosts in many Oregon state parks. Their favorite was always Bullards Beach State Park outside of Bandon. In 2007, they became permanent residents of the Timber Valley SKP Park in Sutherlin, remaining there for 17 years.

The rst photo, which appeared in the Western World in September of 1957, got picked up by the United Press, and the woman featured, Mabel Howard, ended up getting correspondence from across the United States, including many copies of the article from other papers. And she apparently answered each of them with a personal note.
The Western World article, written by Billie McCartney Anderson (a BHS graduate) explained that "As educational institutions throughout the country start their fall terms the Bandon schools have a distinction matched by very few -- 16 children in 12 different grades, from the rst straight through the senior class, who share the same grandmother.
"The grandmother, Mrs. Mabel Howard, 72, is Western World's choice for Grandmother of the Year. She reared eight children and earned much of her family's livelihood for many years. These eight sons and daughters -- Margaret, Mildred, Mary, Faye, Velma, Floyd, Jim and Bob -- are now grown and married, responsible members of the Bandon community with 24 children of their own."
Pictured back, from left, Donna Knox, 7th; Steve Howard, 7th; Rodney Edwards, 8th; Linda Crew, 9th; Jimmy Knox, 10th; Ron Knox and Judy Howard, 11th, and Carl Sandstrom Jr., 12th grade.
Front row, from left, Gayle Propeck, Darrell Franson (a great-grandson) and Sharon Howard, 1st grade; Phyllis Howard and Ricky Howard, 2nd; Tommy Howard, 3rd; David Howard, 4th; Susan Howard, 5th; and Greg Crew, 6th.
The second photo appeared in the June 16, 1939, Western World under the headline: "Must Raze WPA
Cabins."
"The city council adopted a resolution prohibiting the moving of any more of the WPA houses which are being done away with from the property opposite the high school building. Several of the cabins have been sold and moved off and two more in the process of being moved were permitted to complete the job but the rest are to be sold with the understanding that they are to be torn down and only the lumber taken."
These were temporary houses thrown up after the re of 1936 in east Bandon near the high school and gym, which survived the re, and because of their condition, were to be removed from the property.
The third photo appeared in the special section of the Western World following the Cranberry festival of 1976. Cranberry Grower Mike Carver is pictured driving the Ocean Spray Cran Wagon along the parade route.
Although details are sketchy, Bandon Fire Chief Nick Siewell provided me with some information about the incident at the North Jetty Thursday afternoon. As far as I can discern, someone fell off or was washed off the North Jetty, suffered injuries and was pulled back onto the jetty by an unknown person.
"The call came in Thursday afternoon asking us to assist in getting an injured man off the jetty," Siewell said. "He was out of the water when we arrived; how he got out I am not sure. Bay Cities Ambulance, Bandon Police Department, Bandon Fire and Oregon State Parks assisted in carrying him off the jetty in a stokes basket, and Bay Cities Ambulance transported him to the hospital." Siewell did not have the personal
As I See It
information for the injured man, nor did former chief Lanny Boston, who suggested I contact State Parks. I texted the Bullards Park manager, but did not hear back from him by the time I wrote this Sunday night.
I have learned that former Bandon resident Jessica Hennick died Sept. 2 at the age of 45 after suffering an apparent heart attack at her Coos Bay home. Her oldest daughter, Angelica Ramirez, 27, reportedly found her mother when she arrived to have dinner with her that evening.
Jessica was previously married to Nick Hennick of Bandon and the couple had six children, who are now grown.
I learned earlier that John Bresler, BHS Class of 1958, died of a stroke at his home in Colorado in late August.
Darrel Streets, Class of 1966, died Aug. 31 in Yelm, Wash., after a very lengthy illness. He was the son of the late Willard and Lorene Streets, and among his survivors are his husband Mark Willis, and his sisters, Darlene Hilt and Nancy Streets. All who knew Darrel said he was a gifted artist.
Recently I wrote about Gene Schrader and his wife, the former Helen Wehner, Sutherlin, who were celebrating 70 years of marriage. Sadly, Helen, who was born in Chicago, Dec. 13, 1936, died Aug. 31. The Wehner family moved to Bandon in 1949 when her father, Ernie, and his partner, Ernst Tiegs, built and operated the Bandon Wayside Motel for many years. Helen graduated from Bandon High School and married her sweetheart Gene Schrader in 1954. Her survivors include two sons and a daughter and their families, and her brother and wife, Bill and Lora Wehner, of Bandon.
A celebration of life will be held Oct. 19 at 11 a.m. at Calapooia Free Methodist Church in Sutherlin, where Helen played piano for many years.
Many people have been asking me what I've heard about Brian Vick, long-time city councilor and former hospital board member, who has been in Medford where he is being treated for pancreatic cancer. He was in Bandon over the weekend and those who saw him said he looked great.
He said he had an
decrease in the size of the mass, which was small to begin with. It had not metastasized (spread), and his lymph nodes are clear. "This is encouraging but I still have 6 more chemotherapy treatments, then I may be a candidate for a Whipple surgery which is pretty serious in itself. I was very lucky we caught it early," Brian said. We are all praying for a positive outcome.
People are reminded
that the Bullards Beach State Park campground is scheduled to be closed (except the horse camp) Sept. 16 through March 17 for upgrades to the main sewer line and lift station to accommodate increased demand and reduce service disruptions.
All campsites, overnight restroom facilities, yurts, meeting hall and dump station will be closed, according to park manager Nick Schoeppner. The day-use area will remain open with limited disruption.
about the new few weeks' Meet and Greet program, but I do know that this Tuesday, Cardas Audio is featured. The program for Sept. 17 will be presented by the Bandon History Museum and Shoreline Education Awareness is scheduled for Sept. 24. Programs start at noon at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse each Tuesday.
The 25th anniversary celebration of the Southern Coos Hospital facility at the east end of 11th was a great success, with former employees and present long-time employees lling the event tent on the hospital grounds to listen to speakers talk about the past, the present and the future.
Schoeppner also said that a new ADA restroom building, of preformed concrete, will be installed at the Facerock viewpoint parking lot in late September. The parking lot will be closed for several days while the work is completed, he said.
I have little information
Among those attending was Edie Beckner of Bandon, who was honored when the "new" hospital opened in September of 1999 when the nursing wing was named after her. Seated next to her was Donna Reilly, who worked at the present hospital and the one located on the bluff overlooking the lighthouse for over 30 years. Coming from out of town for the event were Dr. Greg Aitchison and his wife Michele of Grants Pass. He was on the hospital board for over 20 years during the time he practiced medicine in Bandon. Retired, they plan to return to Bandon to make their home at their Bear Creek ranch as soon as their Grants Pass home sells. It was a funlled reunion of people with ties to Southern

Coos Hospital and Health Center, some who had not seen each other for many years. And it was a great opportunity to showcase the district's facilities.
The big event this weekend (Sept. 12-15) is the Bandon Cranberry Festival, with the coronation Thursday night, the football game Friday night, the parade Saturday at 10 and events throughout the weekend in both Old Town and City Park. A full schedule of events can be found at Bandon.com.
I've had two interesting comments about my column in the last couple of weeks: one was extremely positive and the other not so much. I will start with the negative comment, which came from someone named Tom Pratum, who wondered if I knew that much of my events are out of date by the time he reads them. I knew right away what that meant: he was reading my column in the World, which appears 10 days after I write it because of their publishing schedule. It appears every Monday at Bandon.tv, with no outof-date information, and I suggested he might join the hundreds of others and read it there. It is also pretty up to date in the Coquille Sentinel. And now for the good comment, which appeared on Facebook and was written by Sharon Ward Moy. "I appreciate your column so very much.
You are truly the voice of Bandon. I sincerely trust that the citizens of our beautiful town appreciate all you do every single day and all you have done to preserve our history. Throughout the past many years, no one has done more or has cared more about all of us. Thank you for giving of your time and energy so sel essly."
This meant a lot to me because I was wondering how I would compete in my race for mayor with my opponent's Glitter by the Sea podcast. You can nd it on Bandon.tv just below my As I See It column, titled "Touring the Serenity with Angela Cardas." When you open it, you will see her latest Glitter by the Sea.
By the way, my "political adviser" Dr. Hank Holmes wants me to compile a list of people who are supporting my candidacy, so if you are one of them I would appreciate hearing from you at marys@coosnet. com. We like the slogan "Experience Matters," like 9 years on the city council, two terms on the planning commission and 20 years as mayor, not too mention three stints on the hospital board. I was also told this week that several locals had been overheard lamenting that I don't answer questions, which are posed to me about local issues, and unless they don't have the correct email address, it is hard to believe as I pretty much answer each and every question that is asked of me, and often I go out of my way to help people, even if they don't live inside the city limits.
Florence Heceta Beach Park Expands Coast Accessibility with new Mobi-Mat
Florence — Labor Day weekend marked another milestone for accessibility on the Oregon Coast with the installation of a new Mobi-mat at Heceta Beach Park in Florence.
This is the second Mobi-mat to be installed on the coast this summer as part of the Oregon Coast Visitors Association’s Strategic Investment Fund, which has been dedicated to the purchase and installation of Mobi-mats coast-wide.
Mobi-mats are portable, weather-resistant pathways that enable people with mobility challenges to navigate uneven terrain, such as beaches, with greater ease. The installation of these mats empowers both residents and visitors with mobility needs to enjoy the beauty of the Oregon Coast. Florence joins Gold
Beach as OCVA funding recipients, and joins Lincoln City, Seaside, Beverly Beach State Park, and Gold Beach as one of the growing number of accessible beach locations on the Oregon Coast.
The addition of the Mobi-mats and David’s Chair at Heceta Beach, along with Wheel the World assessments for lodging, positions Florence as a leader in furthering accessibility initiatives along the coast. The timing of this installation could not have been better, as the Mobi-mat saw lots of traf c over the busy Labor Day weekend and received an outpouring of public support.
Installed at Heceta Beach County Park, just adjacent to the Driftwood Shores Resort, were 120 feet of mobility mats (6
feet wide). The mats are placed along the main pathway from the parking area to the beach.
Lane County Parks headed up the effort to fund and install these mats.
“We’re incredibly thankful for their partnership,” said Brett Henry, Lane County Parks Division Manager.
The Oregon Coast Visitors Association looks forward to more Mobi-mats rolling out this summer, and to continuing our mission of enhancing accessibility across the region, making the coast more welcoming and inclusive for everyone. For more information about Oregon Coast Visitors Association, phone 503-812-2927 or email industry@thepeoplescoast.com.

“We also made wise use of taxpayers’ money, saving two outdated buildings, and effectively transforming 18,000 square feet of instruction space into top-quality labs and technology-rich classrooms,” she said. The college invested $5.5 million in the project, utilizing 100% of grant funding from the State of Oregon and the U.S. Economic Development Administration. SWOCC staff worked with Mark Stoller, of Portland-based Opsis Architecture to complete the
Stoller’s goals for the latest project were to retain some of the historic qualities of the building, including its exterior, while breathing new life into the space. This included bringing more light into the classrooms and keeping the spaces open and airy.
“A big thing that we're always trying to do is learning on display, to increase transparency into the labs and other activity spaces,” he said. Scott and Stoller said this incorporation of new
equipment, state-of-theart technology, and bright and airy spaces will enhance student learning experiences.
“Whenever you come into something that looks brand new, is clean and has the latest bells and whistles, with all the latest equipment that is available to them, it’s exciting,” said Scott. It will be neat, said Scott, to see how professors and students use the new cutting-edge technology coming in to the newly renovated buildings.

Airport Heights Park update
By BREE LAUGHLIN
The World
Coos Bay-North Bend
Rotary held the second of three community meetings to develop a master plan for the 13-acre Airport Heights Park in North Bend.
More than 20 Rotarians, North Bend and Coos Bay officials, along with fellow community members, attended the Sept. 5 meeting.
Community members also got a chance to enjoy a hamburger or hot dog meal courtesy of the Rotary Club, with the help of NW Natural and the Salvation Army. More than 100 meals were served.
Three park concepts were presented during the meeting.
Attendees had the opportunity to discuss the different park concepts and give additional feedback to help move the project forward.
The three concepts discussed at the meeting include “The Runway,” “The Commons” and “The Loop”. The designs were done by Portland-based Groundworkshop, a private contractor, following the first community meeting in May, during which participants were invited to share their visions for the park.
The “Runway” concept is described as the lightest touch to the park area. It leaves the baseball diamonds in their current positions, and includes a teen zone at the basketball court and a pump track. There is some onsite parking and two linear plaza areas. The play areas are near North Bend Senior Center, and the basketball court is separated from the play area.
The “Commons” concept is a medium-touch proposal. It includes a regulation little league
field and one regulation tee ball field. The play and sports courts would still be located by the senior center. There is a single on-site parking lot. The concept includes two separate plaza areas, a medium-sized central lawn, and two pump tracks for beginners and advanced.
The “Loop” concept is the heaviest-touch proposal, re-orientating the park’s baseball fields. This would require the most movement of dirt to create the best topography for field construction, and would require building a retaining wall. This concept also includes three separate plazas – an athletic, community, and teen area.
There would be a large single-pump track with two central lawns with this concept. This design also has an accessible nature boardwalk, paved walking loops, and a

The information collected during the meeting, and through the online survey, will be used to

Comstock added she is also happy to support fellow Port staff in creating their own successes.
One such staff member is Melissa Cribbins, the new Executive Director of the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port project.

for the community. It's good for our citizens.”
The PCIP initiative is aimed at developing a state-of-the-art intermodal facility that will enhance U.S. Port capacity and provide a yeararound customer base for local small businesses.
The Board of Commissioners said Cribbins' extensive experience in public service, executive leadership, and community engagement made her the ideal candidate to spearhead this initiative.
“We really need good jobs here, good paying jobs that provide ben-
efits, that allow people to support their family with dignity and peace of mind,” said Cribbins. Port of Coos Bay officials said they are confident that the new leadership appointments will drive the South Coast forward and ensure the Port remains a vital hub for commerce and a key contributor to the region's economic prosperity.

Southwest Oregon Regional Airport replacing World War II era apron
By Brandon Summers
Southwest Oregon Regional Airport’s World War II-era apron is being stripped away and replaced.
Phase one of SORA’s “Legacy Apron” project is underway, with the apron, which is the area where aircraft are parked, being brought to modern standards.
“After 80 years, it’s starting to show its wear and tear,” said Stephanie Kilmer, SORA Public Information Officer. “We’ve had some of the concrete crack and break, and that is not conducive for moving aircraft over. You want it to be stable and not break under the weight. The planes today are much heavier than they were back in the 1940s.”
She added, “Now is the best time, rather than wait for more damage to be done.”
At 300,000 square feet, it is the largest of the airport’s three aprons.
“It’s a pretty significant piece of infrastructure we have here for general
aviation traffic,” said Kilmer. “It does facilitate movement, making sure we have safe movement of our aircraft from the runways and taxiways to where they are parking and being stored.”
The need to replace the 80-year-old apron was growing, as SORA houses everything from single-engine prop planes to Gulfstreams and even 737 jets.
“There’s a lot of weight that (apron) has had to bear in those 80 years,” said Kilmer. “It’s amazing that it has stood the test of time. The construction standards were very different in 1945 than they are today.”
Resident Project Representative Rick Skinner told The World he is impressed with the project.
“It’s a hell of an improvement,” he said. “This part of the taxiway was coned off because there was so much settlement in a few places that it wasn’t really safe to position planes over the top of it.”
The new apron is being built to modern standards with materials capable of
withstanding expansion, said Skinner.
“We’ve got 100% compaction on everything, and very strong concrete that’s going to break at 7,000 PSI. The norm they use on sidewalks and streets is 3,500 PSI,” he said. “We’re putting back six inches of base rock, and nine and a half inches of concrete.”
The new apron will be completed in phases. The first phase, underway now, will cost roughly $1.8 million.
If it were being done all at once, the project would cost roughly $23 million, said Kilmer.
Reconstruction on phase one started in August, and was midway through completion by Sept. 6.
This phase required the removal of the concrete slabs and some of the material underneath.
“It had no rebar in it when it was originally constructed, so all of that infrastructure had to be put into play,” said Kilmer.
Concrete was poured starting the week of Sept. 9, and done in three
pours, said Skinner. About 94% of
The apron project is largely being completed with federal grants.
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant and Airport Infrastructure grant funds will cover 94% of the projects costs.
“This is really happening thanks to those federal grants that we get,” said Kilmer.
Once phase one is completed, the project will be put on hold in favor of two other projects: a new glide slope, required by the Federal Aviation Administration, and a runway safety area project.
Work on further phases of the apron renovation will likely pick up in 2028 or 2029, said Kilmer.

Fire Season Is Not Over, warns Oregon Department of Forestry
SALEM — Oregon Department of Forestry is reminding Oregonians that with weather fluctuating across the state, fire is still on the landscape and fire season is still in effect.
Oregon is still experiencing one of the worst seasons seen in the past decade, and the ODF warns the public against complacency.
“East winds are very common around this time of year, making now the time to prevent the next large wildfire. There is still potential for more fire starts and the season isn’t over yet.”said Chris Cline, Fire Protection Division Chief. “The fewer human-caused fires we have, the less strained our resources will be.”
East winds come to the Pacific Northwest every year around the end of August and last through the fall months. They occur from the crest of the Cascades to the Oregon/Washington coast. Though the winds come annually, significant east wind “events” do not occur every year. If an event does occur, it usually lasts about 48 hours.
Current low humidity combined with sustained winds can increase fire behavior and risk west of the Cascades.
Conditions this week are a mix of warm temperatures, wind, and dry fuels, increasing the risk of wildfire. So far this year, according to the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center, there have been 1,697 fires in Oregon that have burned 1,535,304 acres. Within 24 hours over Labor Day weekend, the department deployed two incident management teams to assist with fast growing fires in Klamath (Copperfield Fire) and Wheeler (Shoe Fly Fire) Counties.
If ODF knows that an east wind event is going to happen, which can be determined at least five days in advance, the agency will preposition resources, adjust schedules, and take necessary precautions to respond to new starts or increased fire behavior quickly.
“With the approaching fall like conditions, it’s easy to think that fires are lessening. However, we are still seeing new fire starts daily throughout the state of Oregon,” said Cline.
Wildfire prevention means:
-Debris burning is prohibited during fire season without a permit. Cover your pile and wait until fire season is over. A dry, covered pile is cleaner and safer to burn later, during wet fall and winter conditions.
-Don’t park your car over dried grass, and make
sure your vehicle or ATV is regularly serviced.
-Dispose of your cigarette using designated receptacles, and never discard butts on the ground or in vegetation outdoors.
-Check local restrictions before lighting a campfire. Several ODF districts have updated their fire danger levels recently. Visit Oregon.gov/odf to find local fire restrictions and keeporegongreen.org for more wildfire prevention tips.

For phase one of Southwest Oregon Regional Airport’s “Legacy Apron” project, the site had its original World War II era concrete stripped and new concrete was done in three pours on Sept. 9 to meet modern standards.
