No Kings Day in Coos Bay

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

In addition to Flag Day and President Donald Trump’s birthday, for which he held a military parade, Saturday June 14 was known most widely as No Kings Day this year. A day of demonstration nationwide and beyond, estimates for the turnout are over ﬁve million people making it one of the single largest days of protest in modern history. That trend was no different on the Coos Bay boardwalk where some counts exceeded 800 people.

That made this protest over twice as large as the last gathering in downtown, and visibly there was no doubt of the numbers. Protesters lined both sides of Highway 101 from Curtis Avenue up to Market Avenue, with the crowds extending over to the Southbound side as well. While many came out over grievances that stretch back to the earliest days of this administration, the large surge in numbers was motivated in large part by increasingly authoritarian action on the part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). By now we’ve all seen the images out of Los Angeles, where the National Guard and U.S. Marines were deployed in a show of force against protesters. ICE’s deportation efforts have become increasingly brash, with reports that masked and unmarked ofﬁcers have been raiding school graduations, Home Depot parking lots, and even snatching people

Friends of Coos County Animals celebrate their 20th anniversary

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

While surveying recently acquired land for watershed restoration in Lakeside, representatives from the Tenmile Lakes Basin Partnership made a discovery that led them to contact the Friends of Coos County Animals (FOCCAS). They had some notice about 8 horses that had been left on the property, but were surprised to ﬁnd 13 cats who have since been brought in for treatment and fostering by FOCCAS.

The 222-acre property was privately owned for 30 years and is now in the early phases of a restoration effort. The plan is for the rehabilitated area to be given over to the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians for native stewardship. First and foremost, however, was the issue of rescuing the animals found on hand. Multiple abandoned trailers on the property were housing the neglected cats.

“It was tough to see [the animals] in that condition. They were all in pretty bad condition,” recalled Zarah Wemple, the Restoration Monitor and Coordinator for Tenmile Lakes Basin Partnership.

“FOCCAS was just so helpful, they were able to get them into good vet care immediately… We’re a nonproﬁt organization so we really didn’t have any resources outside of the people that we depended on for the rescue.”

Unfortunately, a handful of the cats were found deceased. Those that weren’t were sent for emergency care at HansonMeekins Animal Hospital, who have helped FOCCAS with discounted care since their inception. The horses were

relocated to a ranch in Eastern Oregon who specialize in equine rescue.

“[FOCCAS] are amazing. We can’t thank them enough for being so responsive and helpful. They totally facilitated our rescue, we wouldn’t have been able to do it without them,” said Wemple.

FOCCAS celebrated their 20th anniversary of providing for local animals this June. What started as a Coos County Animal Shelter volunteer bringing a shelter pet to Pony Village Mall for adoption visibility has grown exponentially. Founded in 2005 by that volunteer, Laura Jorgensen, the nonproﬁt has now helped thousands of animals ﬁnd care and homes.

To aid with that mission, FOCCAS is always accepting donations and looking for

Construction to close U.S. 101 south of Bandon for one weekend in September

Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) plans to close U.S. 101 south of Bandon for one weekend in September to replace a culvert deep under the highway in difficult terrain.

The closure, scheduled for Friday night to Sunday night, Sept. 19th to 21st, will allow contractors to dig down more than twenty feet to remove the failing pipe and install a larger culvert. The work zone is sandwiched between a steep slope on one side of the highway, wetlands on the other and a stream that snakes its way in between. There are no local road connections around the work zone. During this 48-hour closure, the only available detour is a lengthy drive along U.S. 199 (Redwood Highway), Interstate 5 and Oregon 42 (Coos Bay-Roseburg Highway).

The total construction window will likely extend about four to six weeks, with about two to three weeks of single-lane closures before and after the weekend full closure of the highway.

In most circumstances, ODOT attempts to stage projects in a way that keeps

The American lexicon was once filled with dozens, hundreds of charmingly quaint phrases that have now gone the way of the dodo. A particular favorite was, “There was enough food to feed Coxey’s army.” While your grandparents and greatgrandparents would have understood it, saying it these days would be met with a puzzled expression followed by, “Who was Coxey?” “Why did he have an army?” And, the most practical of all, “Why was it hungry?”

All good questions deserve an answer. And believe it or not, they all go back to the very first protest march on Washington more than 130 years ago. Because this group made its way on foot across this country with a shared goal. Although it didn’t achieve anything its participants sought, it did cause quite an uproar. And it concluded with an incident that left us with that once-popular phrase.

This is the forgotten tale of Coxey’s Army.

Bandon Schools

Dear Editor,

As a physician, a parent, and a member of this community, I’m writing to express deep concern over the way the Bandon School District is treating its teachers— and by extension, our children.

Our teachers are the lowest paid in the region, and rather than addressing this long-standing inequity with serious solutions, the current leadership offers only minimal cost-of-living increases. These are not meaningful raises—they are crumbs. At the same time, reports of retaliation against union leaders, including forced transfers and reassignments, are deeply troubling and, if accurate, illegal. Beyond the legal implications, this approach is a moral failure. Morale among teachers is at an all-time low. Many no longer feel respected, supported, or safe in their positions. We cannot expect excellence in education when the people

HOLY COW! HISTORY: The First March on Washington

The economy suffered a nasty downturn in the Panic of 1893. It was the nation’s worst financial crisis until then. Millions of working people were suddenly unemployed. Suffering was widespread and severe.

Some folks wanted immediate action from Washington. They demanded that Congress pass a bill authorizing $500 million to build roads and other public works projects, creating jobs and stimulating the economy. (Think of it as a forerunner of FDR’s New Deal 40 years later.) And they wanted Congress to do it PDQ.

Jacob Coxey was one of the idea’s most enthusiastic backers. A 40-year-old sand quarry owner in Massillon, Ohio, he was a dedicated Populist with a witty turn of phrase. Though friends and family considered him something of an oddball, his belief that Congress should act to end suffering was sincere.

Coxey proposed a radical plan. He would personally lead unemployed men to Washington, where they would march to the U.S. Capitol and present their demands to congressional movers and shakers

It’s likely the idea didn’t originate with Coxey. Three dozen groups of out-of-work men around the country were proposing similar steps. But Coxey was among the first, and because he was so quotable, his effort received the lion’s share of news coverage.

Coxey grandly christened his effort the Army of the Commonwealth In Christ. The press dubbed it simply Coxey’s Army.

When it set out from Massillon on Easter Sunday 1894, Coxey was at the head of 100 men, confidently predicting their ranks would swell to 100,000 by the time they reached Washington. His young wife and son, Legal Tender Coxey (yes, that was the poor kid’s real name), went with him. It was a madcap, haphazard affair from the start. In that time long before social media, it was difficult to get the word out and organize. So, different groups started for Washington at different times. As for logistics, planning wasn’t Jacob Coxey’s forte. He seemed to improvise as the group moved by foot from town to town, camping outdoors and feasting on whatever food local supporters provided. New recruits came in as other protesters dropped out. The whole thing was ragtag from start to finish. However, it did generate a lot of news coverage. In the age of Yellow Journalism, newspapers eagerly covered the march. Many reports were derisive. The country was laughing at Coxey’s Army as it plodded eastward. Yet there was also silent anxiety under the surface, a fear that perhaps the marchers would unleash social forces that would prove impossible to control.

But things didn’t turn out that way.

Barely 500 men were with Coxey when his “army” sauntered into Washington. Just as they were about to present their demands to Congress, Coxey was arrested for walking on the Capitol lawn grass.

Exhausted, tired of being the butt of jokes, and now leaderless, the men finally had enough. They quietly disbanded and went home.

However, seeds were sown that eventually bore fruit. Coxey’s Army is considered the first march on Washington, a tactic later refined by protest groups to mobilize popular support. Although the federal action Coxey and his army sought

J. Mark Powell

didn’t happen, the experience triggered discussion about the government’s role in times of economic crisis.

Finally, Coxey was ridiculed as “Keep Off the Grass Coxey.” That nickname led to a popular phrase that’s still used today: “Keep off the grass.”

Along with “Enough food to feed Coxey’s army.” You never know what unintended consequences a good protest may produce.

SUDOKU PUZZLE PUZZLE ANSWERS

from their official immigration court hearings.

What was supposed to be an effort to get violent criminals and drug dealers off the streets, has quickly seen normal, hard-working members of communities targeted and removed from said communities.

For those who argue that greater efforts to emigrate legally should have been taken by the undocumented, attacks on immigration courts should be of chief concern, as they show a blatant disregard for those trying to using the legal pathways to residency. This is all being done without the due process called for in the 5th amendment of the constitution.

Another chief concern amongst protesters was continued U.S. support of Isreal’s ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza. Blockades are still in place preventing humanitarian aid from entering the area, as widespread famine sweeps the strip. Civilian infrastructure has been completely decimated with every hospital in Gaza having been destroyed. The death count continues to rise with weapons supplied by the U.S. bolstering the Israeli Defense Force’s arsenals.

Those who voted for Trump over his claim that there would be

‘no new wars’ on his watch would be sorely disappointed to see that those same weapons supplied to Israel have been used to strike targets in Iran over this past week. Official communication from the White House has attempted to obfuscate its official involvement over missile strikes in Tehran.

When asked whether the U.S. military would be attacking Iran President Trump replied, “I may do it. I may not do it.”

Meanwhile, officials in the Iranian government have condemned U.S. involvement.

Esmaeil Baghaei, a spokesman for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs told Al Jezeera that “Any American intervention would be a recipe for an all-out war in the region.”

Protests are expected to continue throughout the summer, with the situation domestically not seeing much improvement. Inflation on necessities continue, with many Americans still feeling the impact on their ability to pay the bills and keep food on the table. The ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ hits the Senate this week. Should it pass, some reports estimate that millions of Americans could lose their health insurance. Tax rates for many Americans would also rise, while those at the top of America’s economic pyramid would see huge breaks.

It should be mentioned that following the protest on the boardwalk, roughly a dozen counter-protesters had their say, waving banners in support of the current administration.

Stovall, Pedrini and Henthorn win races at Jennifer’s Catching Slough Classic

John Gunther For the World

Local students won all the races at the recent Jennifer’s Cathching Slough Classic. Marshfield student Jaxson Stovall blazed through the course in the South Coast Half Marathon, finishing in 1 hour, 18 minutes and 33 seconds. Hayden Brandt was second (1:22:27), followed by Kevin Brightbill (1:22:47), Connor Burns (1:30:57) and Raleigh Collier (1:33:43).

Richelle Moon was first among women and seventh overall in 1:38:34. Anna Carpenter was second among women (1:43:29) and Ashley Merz third (1:55:47).

Angelo Pedrini, who will be a freshman at North Bend this fall, won the 10-kilometer race in 38:45, beating Charlie Hatch by 10 seconds. Ezra Kern was third (41:57), Jerry Roberts fourth (42:34) and Luke Padilla fifth (46:54). Veronica Grave led the women in 56:23, followed by Payton Davidson (57:37) and Jill Davidson (57:52).

In the 5-kilometer race, Ella Henthorn and Addison Horning, who just finished their freshman years at Coquille and North Bend, respectively, both

easily ran under 20 minutes. Henthorn won in 19:27 and Horning finished in 19:31. Former North Bend student Henry Hood was third (20:59), followed by Lexie Jones-Ortega (23:01), William Reeves (23:52) and Jake Perry (23:56).

The race was created in honor of Jennifer Turman, who ran for Marshfield High School and died in a car accident about three decades ago. It serves as a fundraiser for a scholarship in Turman’s name presented annually by the running club to a local high school or college student who is a track and field or cross country athlete.

For more information about the scholarship, visit www. southcoastrunningclub.org.

Holiday races The next two runs on the South Coast calendar will be held during the Fourth of July weekend.

The annual Firecracker Run will be held on Friday, July 4, in Mingus Park in Coos Bay. The event includes a half-mile kids run and a 1.6-mile run/ walk. The longer distance includes a few of the park’s trails with steep hills.

The kids run will start at 10 a.m., followed by the longer run.

The kids run is free. The longer run is free for members of the South Coast Running Club and costs $10 for non-members.

People can sign up for the club or learn about other upcoming club races at www. southcoastrunningclub.org.

The second holiday run is the annual White Cedar Days Run in Powers as part of that city’s holiday celebration.

It will be held on Saturday, July 5, and includes both 5-kilometer and 10-kilometer races. Both start at 9 a.m., but start outside of town and the bus to the starting line will leave Powers about 30 minutes before the races start.

Registration will be held in the area of the finish line, near the corner of Second Avenue and Fir Street.

Pahls wins two events to lead Bandon to speech title

Bandon won the speech title for Class 4A-3A-2A-1A this spring and Marshfield was fifth.

The students competed in every event against all other students, regardless of school size.

Bandon had one state champion, Madeleine Pahls, who won in both the categories of oratory and radio.

Bandon’s Tyler Eickhoff was third and Marshfield’s Ella Croson fourth among all students in humorous interpretation.

Marshfield’s team of Quant and Tide Belzer finished second in duo interpretation. Bandon’s Maya Tulles and Tyler Eickhoff were fourth.

Bandon’s Maya Tulles was sixth, just missing the final, in dramatic interpretation, with Marshfield’s Tide Belzer ninth, also advancing to the semifinals.

Bandon’s Sebastian Newby reached

the semifinals in informative speaking, while Marshfield’s Alyssia Pottle just missed advancing to that round. Bandon’s Cchristopher Kilcoyne and Lillianna Gonzalez competed in extemporary speaking. Alivia Bramhall competed in poetry. Bandon also had two teams in parliamentary debate that did not reach the semifinals, Brennan McFall and Akyla Velasco and Alivia Bramhall and Zoe Thomas. Thomas also competed in radio. Marshfield’s Croson and Dax Johnson competed in impromptu and Darielle Koffi-Piebou competed in oratory and poetry. Eliza Huurman competed in oral interpretation and Ivy Potter was in the after dinner speaking event. Rin Kiewert and Nicholas Erb competed in prose. Marshfield had two teams in public forum, McCoy and Johnson and Potter and Hopper.

Best bets for clamming on the Oregon Coast

oDFW

In nearly every Oregon estuary, some species of bay clams can be found. However, abundances and variety of species is different for each bay depending on a number of factors. Size and shape of the bay are the most critical factors.

Tidal exchange, salinity, species ranges, and substrates also weigh heavily.

For your safety, call the Oregon Department of Agriculture Shellfish Safety Hotline before harvesting any shellfish at 1-800-448-2474 or check their website.

Go to our How to bay clam and How to razor clam articles to learn digging techniques that will increase

your chances of success.

Chetco and Rogue River basins have high freshwater influence, and therefore no accessible bay clams. In some of the south coast’s rocky nearshore areas, littleneck and butter clams can be found under rocks and amongst gravel. Due to the tough terrain, very few clammers harvest on the rocky nearshore of the south coast.

Crabbing on the Coast

In every Oregon estuary, some crab can be found. Tillamook, Yaquina and Coos normally provide the best year-round opportunities. Before heading out, be sure to have your shellfish license, a copy of the regulations (either paper or online), and check the tides. For your safety, call the Oregon Department of Agriculture Shellfish Safety Hotline before harvesting any shellfish at 1-800-448-2474 or check their website.

highways open to all traffic at all times. However, that would require a single-lane bypass to be constructed either through a hillside or over wetlands, relocating the stream while adding more cost to the project and disrupting highway traffic for about six months.

“We know how disruptive highway closures can be for communities on the south coast, but we believe this is the best approach and the least impactful option in the long run,” said ODOT District Manager Glen Pederson. “We’re announcing the closure now because we want to give everybody as much time as possible to plan ahead.”

The rapid replacement approach offers several benefits:

• Shrinking the total construction window from six months to six weeks will reduce overall traffic impacts of the project.

• Eliminating the need for a temporary bypass and shortening the construction timeline could save more than $1 million from the total cost of the project.

• Completing the project in October means the new culvert will be ready before the worst weather hits the south coast this winter. Under the tradi-

The pipe failed during a December 2024 storm, washing away the ground under the highway’s southbound travel lane. ODOT repaired the culvert, but in its current condition the pipe is unable to handle expected winter stream flows.

Another failure could compromise the roadway above.

Unlike the existing pipe, the new 11-foot-wide culvert will meet federal fish passage requirements while accommodating far more water.

Last chance to catch You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown at the Liberty Theatre

You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown runs at the Liberty Theatre, home of Little Theatre on the Bay this weekend. Performances are at 7 PM Friday and Saturday, with a matinee on Sunday at 2 PM. Tickets available for $22 at the door or online at: www.thelibertytheatre.

org On Valentine’s Day Eve, 2020, the ﬁnal Peanuts comic strip was published in newspapers across the world, one day after its creator, Charles M. Schulz, died. The strip featured Snoopy with his typewriter, along with numerous thought bubbles containing ﬂashback moments from the Peanuts comic strip. Schultz’ retirement letter was center and ended with the words: “…how can I ever forget them…” Indeed, how can we ever forget those loveable characters?

In the 1960s, composer Clark Gerner wrote a few songs based on those Peanuts characters, with no real plan for them. Still, he sent a demo to Schulz, who enjoyed the music. Through a collaborative process with six actors, in 1967, the musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown opened off-Broadway. It won numerous awards and became a popular hit. The TV special by the same name came later, in the 1980s. Fast forward to the 1990s; composer Andrew Lippa added a bit of additional music and the show once again appeared off-Broadway, winning

even more awards. It’s this slightly revised version of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown that Little Theatre on the Bay is currently producing at the historic Liberty Theatre in North Bend, Oregon.

This family-friendly musical is a series of vignettes from Schultz’ comic strip, and follows Charlie Brown, the eternal blockhead, and his friends: bossy Lucy, blanket-obsessed Linus,

high-strung Sally, Beethovenloving Schroeder, and, of course, Snoopy. You’ll likely recognize most scenarios: Charlie Brown pines for the Little Red Headed Girl, fumbles the baseball game, and battles the kite-eating tree. Lucy dispenses her not-so-helpful advice in her psychiatry booth. Snoopy ﬁghts the Red Baron. Sally complains about jump ropes and school projects. Linus tries to ditch his blanket. Schroeder obsesses over Beethoven.

The score features buoyant songs like “Suppertime,” Snoopy’s bluesey, vaudevilleesque ode to a full food dish, “Schroeder,” in which Lucy pines over her love interest while he plays classical music, “The Book Report,” where the characters

hilariously struggle to summarize The Tale of Peter Rabbit, and “Happiness,” the sweet ﬁnale that brings the characters together to appreciate all that they have.

“This is a story everyone can empathize with,” says director Kristina Seleshanko. “All of us have lived through the awkward moments of childhood. And now we can look back and laugh as the Peanuts gang experiences them, too.”

While the TV specials were voiced by children, Seleshanko follows the tradition of the offBroadway productions and casts adults as each character. “I think we have a really strong cast of local performers. I’m tickled to help them showcase their talent,”

she says. The cast includes Brett

as Sally, Jacob Renard as Shroeder, and Harlan Morse as Linus.

Little Theatre on the Bay (LTOB) formed in 1947 and is the secondoldest, continuously-operating performing arts group in Oregon. As a volunteer organization and 501(c)3 nonproﬁt, LTOB owns and operates the historic Liberty Theatre in North Bend.

As I See It

The first photo I am sharing this week came from the May 1958 Western World as Chappell’s Service Station owner George Chappell points to the place where his 800-pound safe had been stolen the previous night. The station was located across the highway from what is now Face Rock Creamery and just east of today’s Station Restaurant.

“The arrest of four men appeared to have solved all but one of the recent burglaries in Coos and Curry counties. Three of the men were from Four Mile and the fourth was from Coquille,” reported the article.

“Their apprehension accounts for burglaries at the Bandon Airport, Pacific High School, Aldropp’s Garage at Langlois, Woodworth Dairy near Port Orford, Bartol Domenighini dairy ranch at Bear Creek and a number of petty thefts in the area.”

The burglary of Chappell’s safe remains unsolved. The safe contained $600 in cash, $1000 in credit cards, invoices, savings bonds, checks and personal papers.

The story on the front page of the Nov. 1, 1956, Western World reports the first storm damage of the season which “hit Bandon Monday when rain-laden gusts of wind toppled metal framework (second photo) erected the day before at the Bandon Seventh-day Adventist Church and school site on Elmira Avenue near 11th street.

“The framework is for a quonset structure which will be a new gymnasium for pupils of the school. Monday’s wind also broke at least one window, according to a report from the Franklin Auto Court (third photo).”

* * * I have a few corrections from the list of band students who were on the state championship team. I was told to use the names on the program from the last band concert, but one band member, Luke Meredith, was part of the championship band but was not on the program. Three others, Liam Helgeson, Elliot Jannsen and River Lewis, did not participate, according to the band director, but were on the concert program.

* * * A 45-year-old resident of Marple Lane, south of Bandon, Joshua Pittman, was arrested for menacing and unlawful use of a weapon following a chase in that area June 12 after reports of

shots being fired. According to the sheriff’s office, a neighbor had confronted Pittman on his property. “After a brief dispute, Pittman was asked to leave and he walked further up the road. The neighbor checked later and saw Pittman in their driveway, pull a silver firearm from his waistband and fire a round into the ground,” said the press release.

After a police dog sprang into action and flushed the man out of the woods, Bandon Police Chief Cory Dhillon located Pittman emerging from the brush, and the weapon was secured as evidence. He was taken to the Coos County Jail and

on June 13, he appeared in court and was released on his own recognizance.

* * I was sorry to hear that long-time Bandon resident Bob Fisher died Tuesday, June 10, after a long illness. He was just shy of his 94th birthday. He is survived by his sons, Ben and Ralph, and Ralph’s daughter, Bobbi Corcoran.

Bob operated and worked on tugboats for many years and was honored for his part in several daring marine rescues.

* * * A big crowd turned out for a recent Meet and Greet to hear retired Coquille attorney and Bandon resi-

dent Harry Slack talk about Bandon during World War 11. Several years ago he authored a book, Lost in the Surf, and has a new book recently published, titled Hugo Rising. Lost in the Surf, described as a tale of four American boys, one Japanese Naval officer and a collision of duty, can be purchased at the Bandon History Museum, and they expect to have Hugo Rising for sale soon.

A long line of people had their books signed by the popular 95-year-old author. He was accompanied at the table by his daughter, Helen Slack Miller. Also in the crowd were his son, Joe Slack, of Coos Bay and an old friend, Jerry Lundholm.

* * * I learned this week that Pablo’s Corner in the building at Chicago and Second, owned by Bill and Louise Moore, was closing.

Brian’s smile and laugh had such a profound impact on anyone he came into contact with.

Brian loved bringing people together, whether at the Hospital or in his Hometown of Reedsport. His effect on People was very evident by those attending Bubsfest. Brian loved being outdoors, traveling, staying in hotels and all the things that could bring one joy. He was fearless in the face of adversity, took every obstacle head on with grace. He loved going to the Oregon Coast Aquarium with his big brother Tommy. If it was up to Brian, he would’ve hung out with the Seals and Sea Lions the whole time. He loved watching People, especially if they were silly or playing a sport. He’s the only Person I know that can stop a HS Baseball game because of his laughter. Brian had a deep love for music, especially Pink Floyd. He lived and breathed Pink Floyd music. So, when you hear Another Brick in the Wall think of Brian. (That’s what was playing when

Joseph Clifford Neill

August 20, 1952 – December 15, 2024

Joseph Clifford Neill, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, of North Bend, Oregon, left this earth on December 15, 2024, and was found on January 5, 2025, at the age of 72 after an accidental fall into the sea while photographing the king tides.

Born on August 20, 1952, in Calgary, Canada, to Jennie (Paglione) and Calvin Neill, Joe built a joyful, adventurous life anchored in family, service, creativity, and curiosity.

Affectionately known in the community as “Dr. Joe,” he owned and operated The Electric Hospital—a sewing machine and vacuum store in Coos Bay, Oregon— for 44 years. He was also a proficient canoeist, whitewater and swift water rescue instructor, sailor, woodworker, and published author. A true inventor at heart, he was always looking for ways to make work easier and proudly held four patents for creative tools, which the family hopes to bring to production in his honor.

Joe was a gifted storyteller—often pausing a sale at his shop to recount an adventure involving one of his kids or grandkids—and an ever-curious photographer, capturing the beauty and mystery of the world around him, with a particular love of the Oregon coast. He shared this love with paddlers from around the globe in his favorite online group, Song of the Paddle. He was an avid reader and especially enjoyed learning about Native American cultures.

Deeply devoted to community and youth, Joe volunteered for decades with organizations such as Camp Fire USA, where he taught generations of children how to paddle a canoe. He was a familiar face at his children’s and also his grandchildren’s schools, and generously gave his time to groups like Charleston Boatbuilders, as well as to anyone who needed a hand, a tool, or a clever idea.

Joe was best known for his love of family. He purposefully and joyfully spent as much time as possible visiting his children and grandchildren— doing anything that involved water, woodcarving, photography, singing a silly song, teaching a new skill, or simply sharing his ideas about life.

He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Maria (Nuñez) Neill; daughter Paula Emily Neill and son Andrew Neill, both

of Southern Chile; daughter Christine (Neill) and son-in-law Jake Horner of Richland, Washington; six grandchildren; siblings Judy (Neill) Jordan and Jim

of North Carolina and Louis

of Texas; Sister in law Merrily

from North Carolina and many cousins,

nephews, and beloved friends. He is also survived by his Electric Hospital family, including longtime store manager and friend Randy Kaye Guffey. He was preceded in death by his parents, Calvin and Jennie Neill, his brother-in-law Doug Jordan, and his nephew, Scott Neill.

A community memorial and celebration of Joe’s life will be held on Saturday, July 5th, 2025, at 9:30 a.m., at the California Street Boat Ramp (400 California Ave., North Bend)—one of Joe’s favorite places to launch a canoe for a morning paddle and to begin an adventure. Guests are invited to bring canoes, kayaks, or paddle boards and join the family for a ceremony on the water or gather onshore by the docks.

On Sunday, July 6th, 2025, at 8:00 a.m., a Mass will be offered in Joe’s name at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church (2250 16th St., North Bend). All are welcome to attend and join the family in prayer. (This will not be a funeral Mass.)

Dick was born in Belle Knife Hospital, in Coquille, Oregon, the son of Antonio P. Giorgis and Mary P (Ferraris) Giorgis. He died June 9, 2025, at Sacred Heart Hospital at Riverbend in Springfield after a lengthy illness.

Dick graduated from Coquille High School in 1955 and enlisted with the US Navy. He served on the USS Bon Homme Richard CVA-31 aircraft carrier as an ordinance specialist. Dick developed a passion for law enforcement in the Navy serving as an SP (Shore Patrol) officer wherever the Bon Homme docked in ports of call. On June 29, 1957, Dick married Mary Jo (Sawtelle) Giorgis while stationed at Moffett Field in San Jose, California. After his discharge, they moved back to Coquille as he started working at Cedar Point Mill. In 1962 Dick fulfilled his dream of working in law enforcement joining the Empire City Police Department. He joined the Coos Bay Police Department two years later. In 1967, now a sergeant with the police force, Dick accepted a

deputy sheriff position for Coos County. Serving under Sheriff Charles M Strawn, until 1973 accepting the assistant chief of police position for the City of Myrtle Point. A side note, in 1969, Dick and his wife Mary Jo designed the “jumping trout” logo for the Coos County Sheriff’s Dept with the Blessing of Sheriff Strawn. The image has undergone some cosmetic changes over the years but is still being used today.

Summer 1975 Dick became the head of security for school district 9 at Marshfield High School where he worked until his retirement. Dick was passionate working with youth and was instrumental with the startup of the D.A.R.E. program in conjunction with the Coos Bay Police Dept. Over these years, Dick also found time to transport Pirate athletic and rally teams to their matches. Dick also coached the Pirate Golf team briefly. In the mideighties Dick took over the reins of the school’s British Exchange program from retiring teacher, Joy Meacham. Dick and Mary Jo chaperoned MHS Students to England multiple summers for reciprocal visits after coordinating host families for the British students as they visited Coos Bay during their Easter breaks. Dick managed to return to MHS time to time after his “retirement.”

Retiring for good, Dick and Mary Jo started to enjoy traveling full time, especially in their RV, scheduling and enjoying trips to Portland, Reno, Las Vegas, Montana, Arizona, Texas and Alabama. Dick enjoyed playing golf,

In Loving Memory of Richard Courtright

July 16, 1954 – June 11, 2025

Richard Courtright, born July 16, 1954, in Coquille, Oregon, passed away June 11, 2025. He was 70 years old.

Richard grew up in the small town of Coquille, where he developed a lifelong love for the outdoors. Whether it was fishing on a quiet riverbank, setting crab pots along the Oregon coast, or heading into the woods for a hunting trip, he felt most at home in nature. These weren’t just hobbies, they were passions he shared with those he loved.

Family meant everything to Richard. He was the heart of many backyard barbecues, where stories were told,

laughter flowed, and memories were made. His warmth, humor, and generosity made everyone feel welcome.

Richard’s legacy lives on in the traditions he passed down, the strength he showed, and the love he gave so freely. He will be remembered as a man who worked hard, loved deeply, and found joy in life’s simple pleasures.

Richard is survived by his children, Jenny Rodriguez, Kim Pugmire, Suzanne Welch-Fields, Katy Courtright, and Brian Courtright; his sisters, Terrie Middleton and Carrie Shields; and many beloved grandchildren, nieces, and

Charles Carlin Kerwin, Jr.

February 19, 1934 – May 27, 2025

Charles Carlin Kerwin, Jr, 91, of North Bend, passed away May 27, 2025 at Coos Bay, Oregon. Charles was born February 19, 1934 at Oak Park, Illinois, the son of Charles C. and Lillian (Ekman) Kerwin. He was raised and educated in Oak Park and then moved to California where he attended Stanford University. He enlisted in the Marine Corps where he served for two tours of duty during the Korean War. After 4 years of service he attended UC Berkley and after graduating he went to work as an Investment Banker in Los Angeles. He started his own firm, Kerwin - Beley & Associates with offices in Los Angeles and Seattle, Washington. Charles loved working and helping his clients. He also enjoyed traveling with his wife and would always rather enjoy her home cooked meals than eating out. He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Nancy Tan Kerwin. He was preceded in death by his brother, Richard Kerwin and by his parents.

district have reached an impasse and are headed for mediation.

I have secured information as to what each side has offered, and at this point, they seem to be 10.3 percent apart, with the BEA seeking a three-year contract of 7, 5, 5 and one

additional step each year, for a total of 26.9% over the three-year period. The district has offered salary increases of 4, 3 and 3, with one step added the second (26-27) year and another step added the third year. Each step is worth approximately 3.3 percent. There is no doubt that the Bandon teachers are some of the lowest paid in Coos and Curry counties, but school districts across

the state are experiencing financial difficulties, and Bandon is no exception. Hopefully mediation will reach a fair conclusion before rhetoric and personal attacks heat up further.

* * * The Meet and Greet set for Tuesday, June 17, featured Jim Proehl of Bandon’s History Museum telling the story of the first Bandon fire in June of 1914. Seating opened at

bowling and deep-sea fishing, especially with his brother, Robert. Dick also loved clamming and crabbing buying his own boat to crab away from the docks. Dick Loved Coos County and was away from the county only during his tenure with the Navy. He was very proud of our county, looking forward to every Monday morning volunteering at the Coos Bay information center to share the history and things to see and do in the area. Dick belonged to the American Legion, VFW, Eagles and was a 60-year member of the Coos Bay Elks Lodge. Dick and Mary Jo also purchased and operated a Coos Bay motel in 1967, selling it in 1978.

Dick is also survived by son and daughter-in-law, Stephen and Kimberley Giorgis of North Bend; son-in-law, Kevin Williams of Grants Pass; grandsons, Jordan Torst and his wife,

nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Dorothy Courtright, and his sister, Cory Courtright.

We will be having a celebration of life on August 10th and would love for friends and family to join us at Sturdivant Park in Coquille at 1:00PM.
