Community members are invited to join CASA of Coos and Curry Counties and the local chapter of Bikers Against Child Abuse as they
bring awareness to, and raise funds for, abused and neglected children. On Saturday, April 6, the 2024 Pinwheel Run for Child Abuse Prevention Month kicks off with a motorcycle ride
starting at 9 a.m. from the North Bend Community Center to Bandon and back. The group of motorcycle riders make stops along the route to plant blue pinwheels that signify child abuse
prevention. When the group returns to the North Bend Community Center at noon, there will be a free event for the entire community. The Pinwheel Run
community event will feature a bounce house for children, food trucks, live music and a raffle for a custom Harley Davidson motorcycle. Gregory Dalton, the Program Director for
CASA of Coos and Curry Counties, said he is appreciative of the collaborative relationship his organization has formed with the 7 Devils Chapter CASA continues on page 3
Coos County Sheriff ’s Office urges dune safety after bad winter weather The riding season has started, and people from all over are visiting the ODNRA in Coos County. The weather we have experienced this winter has caused some unusually hazardous conditions on the Dunes. Large pools of water are all over the dunes, many of which are not visible until you crest a dune and begin down the other side. Evasive maneuvers to avoid the water could easily cause a crash, sending a rider into 10+ feet deep pools. There is also standing water and storm debris on the beach access roads. The best beach access is on the Saunders Lake beach access road, but it also has many water spots. In addition to the water hazards, many US Forest Service camp spots are flooded; if you are traveling to the ODNRA, confirm with the Forest Service that where you plan to camp is accessible. The Sheriff’s Office urges visitors and local riders to know the conditions and RIDE SAFE!
