New Bay Area Hospital board members sworn in, appoint new officers and committee members

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

The July 9 meeting of the Bay Area Hospital Board of Directors saw the swearing in of four new board members. Simon Alonzo Jr., Kyle Stevens, Brandon Saada, and John Uno join incumbents Patrice Parrott and Tom McAndrew amid the context of a potential corporate takeover of the long-independent hospital.

Negotiations with hospital management firm Quorum Health for said takeover had been ongoing following a letter of intent from the former board. Where those proceedings stand is now unclear, with the election seeming to serve as a mandate from voters to try and maintain local control.

The meeting opened with the customary public comment which included multiple department heads and long-time employees coming to the defense of CEO Brian Moore and the executive team. Rumors that their jobs were in jeopardy from jump had seemingly been circulating without clarity as to where they

began, though it was clear from the rest of the meeting that such shock and awe tactics from the new look board was not on the cards.

Next on the docket was elections for the board’s new officers. The two incumbents put McAndrew forward for the position citing the importance of continuity.

“On the brink of bank foreclosure, I believe that continuity serves the institution well by reassuring both the community and staff, and our bank… I can say that knowledge, experience, and judgement are part of any leadership position,” said McAndrew in self-advocacy.

“We all can learn, we all have different experiences. Judgment comes from wisdom, wisdom comes from failure, and that’s life experience. So, I can advocate that I have learned from my personal and professional failures.”

Coos Forest Protective Association elevates fire danger warnings

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

The Coos Forest Protective Association (CFPA) announced that the fire danger level would be elevating to high (yellow) on Friday, July 11. As fire season escalates it becomes all the more imperative to follow recommended guidelines for locals and visitors alike. This includes a greater level of caution from industry and private individuals.

In many places, Industrial Fire Precaution Levels (IFPL) will be increasing to level two. This means that certain public fire restrictions must be followed on both federal, state, county, city, and private lands. That particularly includes forest and timber land which is currently at the greatest risk for combustion.

Most of the South Coast falls within the Oregon Department of Forestry’s (ODF) designated CS-1 area where for the time being, restrictions will stay at IFPL 1. Land to the east of Myrtle Point falls under the CS-2 designation and will be upgraded to IFPL 2, known as a limited shutdown.

Some of those restrictions are on recreational activities. For

instance, campfires, cooking fires, and other types of open flames are only allowed at designated and managed campgrounds.

Industrial restrictions include much more specific guidelines:

· Non-Industrial power saw use allowed before 10AM and after 8PM.

· Cutting, grinding and welding of metal is allowed before 10AM and after 8PM.

· Mowing dried, cured grass is allowed before 10AM and after 8PM.

· Any other spark emitting internal combustion engines not previously mentioned is allowed before 10AM and after 8PM.

Keep your eyes on the fire danger signs posted in communities throughout Oregon. At the time of writing, most in Coos County have at least gone from low (green), to moderate (blue).

According to the ODF’s wildfire readiness guide (a link to which will be provided below), moderate level fire danger means that fires may start and can spread.

July 4th sees fatal crash on Highway 101 near Lakeside

At the July 7 North Bend City Council meeting, the creation of a new committee was the main topic of discussion after City Administrator David Milliron worked with the City Attorney to review differences between the North Bend city charter and the League of Oregon Cities (LOC) model charter.

It was determined that a Charter Review Committee should be formed to determine what changes could be made that would most benefit the city. The current city charter was established back in 2000, with Councilor Larry Garboden the only current member also on the council at that time. Though, Councilor Timm Slater was a part of the charter committee. There is no requirement for an

“Fires can start from sparks or embers, but they often need the right combination of wind and dry fuels to increase the rate of fire spread. Fires are not likely to become large and can be controlled relatively easily,” states the official guide. And remember, that there are some activities that are prohibited regardless of the fire danger level, such as:

Oregon city’s charter to match up perfectly with the LOC’s suggestions as each should reflect the specific needs and philosophies of the city in question.

“Charters are specific to your city. You have home rule, and so they’re okay that they vary. And just because the league has a model charter, doesn’t mean that you have to follow that model. It ebbs and flows as you see fit as long as they are legal with the letter of the law,” explained Milliron.

After discussing what shape the committee should take - be that one consisting of just council members, or one that involves input from citizens – it was decided that a citizen lay-committee be formed. This would allow for input by residents that are ultimately chosen by the council members themselves. The committee would

The preliminary investigation indicated a beige Kia Optima, operated by Manual Samuel Starr (38) of Coos Bay, was traveling northbound when it crossed the centerline for unknown reasons. The Kia sideswiped a southbound black Toyota Corolla, operated by Kent McQuillen (61) of Florence, before colliding head-on with a black Dodge Ram, operated by Jose Maria Rodriguez Garcia (55) of Coos Bay. A southbound silver Subaru Outback, operated by Lori Priest (61) of Lake Stevens, Washington, was unable to avoid the crash and also collided head-on with the Kia.

The operator of the Kia (Starr) was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Kia’s rear passenger, Shatara Rosemarie Holmes (39) of Coos Bay, was also pronounced deceased at the scene. A seven-month-old female infant, the operator and passenger’s child, did not appear to be injured, but was transported to a local hospital.

By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

On Good Friday, 1865, a man entered his room in Washington’s National Hotel. He’d be leaving on a one-way trip in a few hours. He filled one pocket with things you’d expect: a ring of keys, a compass, a daybook he used for a dairy, even a whistle in case he got lost in the woods. In the other, he placed a knife and a single-shot Derringer pistol. Before he could depart, he had to stop at

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

Who was John Wilkes Booth’s ‘Mysterious Beauty’?

Ford’s Theatre. Tucked inside the daybook were photos of four women. The identity of one was lost for decades. When her name finally became known, it raised questions. This is the story of John Wilkes Booth’s “Mysterious Beauty.”

Any schoolchild can tell you, “An actor shot Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865.”

While true, there’s more to it than that.

Booth was more than “an actor.” He was a big star. It was a celebrity-on-celebrity crime. Booth’s plan was astonishingly simple. Shoot Lincoln from behind, leap to the stage, hop on a horse waiting in the alley behind the theater, and ride for the South. Which explains why he packed light.

Booth was tracked down and shot in rural Virginia 12 days later. The contents of his pockets were rushed to Secretary of War Edwin Stanton. Their existence was made public two years later when Stanton released a statement mentioning the diary and photos “of several females.” Then they were boxed

up and hidden from view.

The first newspaper account came in 1884, casually mentioning “photographs of young women, presumably actresses.”

In 1891, another journalist got a closer look at Booth’s belongings. He tried to identify each woman by name in his report.

The most prominent was Lucy Hale, who was 24 years old in 1865 and a favorite among Washington’s wartime bachelors. The title of a 1970 American Heritage article perfectly describes her social life: “They All Loved Lucy.”

Although she was what some might call “stout,” she was also vivacious, chatty, and, as New Hampshire Sen. John Hale’s daughter, connected to the upper rungs of Washington’s political society. Lincoln’s personal secretary and future Secretary of State John Hay, future Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. and even Robert Todd Lincoln, the president’s eldest son, all courted her.

Also among her suitors: the dashing Booth. In fact, Lucy had secured his ticket to Lincoln’s second inauguration ceremony weeks earlier.

There’s an enduring claim, based on scanty historical evidence, that Lucy and Booth were secretly engaged to marry. Booth used anyone who could help him advance his schemes. He likely made Lucy believe they were engaged; otherwise, why did he carry pictures of three other women on a trip he knew might end in his death?

The second photo was Effie Germon, an actress who, on the night of Lincoln’s assassination, starred in “Aladdin or The Wonderful Lamp” at Washington’s other major theater, where Lincoln’s youngest son, Tad, was watching. (In that 1891 article, the reporter cruelly reported, “Miss Germon, if still living, is now an old woman and they say she is fat.”)

Actress Alice Gray appeared in the third image.

However, it was the fourth photo that left investigators stumped. Although the woman was stunningly lovely, they never learned her name. At some point, someone wrote in pencil beneath her image, “The Mysterious Beauty.” (By the 1930s, those words had been erased, though traces are still visible.)

Stench on the Cape

Some of you may have noticed the overwhelming stench around the area of the Dairy Queen along Cape Arago. Some of you do not travel in that area – lucky for you.

We have the pleasure of this disgusting smell come every year when the weather warms up. I was told it was due to an in-cropping

So, who was she?

Sometime in the early 20th century, she was finally identified. Her name was Fanny Brown, another actress who, while not as famous as Booth, was well-known in her day. Indeed, The New York Clipper newspaper printed the following in its celebrity section on November 28, 1863: “Rumor says that J. Wilkes Booth will shortly lead to the hymenial (marriage) altar the beautiful and fascinating Fanny Brown. Where’s Dolly?”

While word of a possible Booth wedding was serious enough to make it into print, the second line, mentioning a different woman, also reveals that Booth was a ladies’ man. He was catnip to women, who practically lined up to surrender their hearts to him.

Exactly what did each woman mean to him? We’ll never know. Booth took the answers to the grave with him.

All four photos are displayed in the Ford’s Theatre Museum. They silently stare at us from the 19th century, keeping historians guessing about the role each played in the life of America’s greatest villain.

that catches debris, dead fish, etc. from the bay. It settles there and rots. This is not fair that those living or passing through the area should have to endure this. I am sure it does not help the Dairy Queen business. It is a bad representation of our community to visitors who are looking for a beautiful area, a pleasant time in nature, and searching the tides for clams. It is embar-

rassing. There is no reason why this is not cleaned up regularly, and eventually, finding a solution to the problem. It would be like leaving feces and dead animals on our streets – just not as visible. As a concern for all citizens of our community, let’s get going and make Coos County smell better. Anonymous

Alonzo Jr. for board chair, who then gave his pitch to the room.

“I’m a small business owner here in town. I have experience in operations and leadership in my companies.

I have not been a physician for forty years, but I do have experience leading teams,” said Alonzo.

“In the end, the Chair’s role is to be that liaison between the board and the CEO, and the CEO’s job is to run the hospital. It’s also the Chair’s job to portray what the board wants to the community and to the executive team, and really, that’s the experience that I bring to the role.”

With a four-vote majority, the new members were able to install Alonzo as the new Chair of the board. McAndrew was then re-

Parrott would retain her position as the board secretary, as well as continuing to head the Quality and Patient Safety Committee. Stevens accepted the nomination to become the board’s new treasurer, which would also see him become the head of the hospital’s Finance Committee, as is customary for that position.

Further committee appointments followed, with Dr. Uno also joining the Quality and Patient Safety committee alongside Arlene Roblan, Doug Jones, and Lisa Castle as community members. Alonzo, McAndrew, and Saada will join as voting members on the finance committee.

Saada made the first big proposal from the new board members, as he moved to establish a new committee for transparency and community outreach. This was clearly a response

to a strong sentiment from concerned locals during the takeover discussions.

Many have voiced that the wider community was not properly informed of the hospital’s precarious financial situation. The shape of this new committee was unclear however, and though the idea was generally well received and intended, its establishment was tabled until further details could be hammered out.

As the meeting continued, CEO Moore would address the new board publicly for the first time.

“In the aftermath of the campaign season is a lack of trust, understanding, and communication between the board and administration. And, for a lot of the reasons we have heard this evening, we need to fix that. We need to move forward and resolve it. I’m ready to start listening right now,” said Moore.

Moore urged that the board find a strategic

direction expediently. He likened the hospital to a large vessel, one that does not turn quickly, and stated that it currently sits on the edge of a waterfall. Alternatives for the Quorum takeover will need further vetting to ensure that they will work for one of the area’s largest employers. The stake are high.

“It’s clear there is difference in opinions in this room, but nothing is

happening today. We as the new board members have gotten seven days to look at some of the information,” said Alonzo in response. “We are going to continue to review that, and I look forward to those conversations with you, Brian, about that direction.”

Interim CFO Karen Miller echoed Moore’s call for urgency, and reported that May saw a further

$4 million loss for the hospital, which remains unsustainable, and brings the yearly losses to over $20 million. Moore expressed concerns that the recently passed ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will have significant impacts on Bay Area Hospital, and rural healthcare as a whole, with Medicaid cuts directly affecting funding as it goes into effect over the next few years.

Football officials seeking new recruits

The Southwestern Oregon Football Officials Association is seeking new officials for the upcoming high school and middle school season on the South Coast.

Officials are needed for all levels, including varsity, junior varsity and middle school. Training and rule books are provided by the association and officials are paid for travel and for games they work.

Knowledge of football is preferred, but not required, and men and women are welcome to join the group. A registration fee and background check are required to become an official.

Glenn Koepnick, the commissioner of the association, said officiating is a great oppor-

tunity to “get back on the field with the game you love.”

Veterans are encouraged to take advantage of the “Battlefield to Ballfield” program aimed at paying expense for veterans to become high school officials. Veterans can sign up to be officials for free.

The association covers games in Coos, Curry and western Douglas counties.

“We’ll help them get registered, train them on the rules and on the field, and help with getting them the required equipment,” Koepnick said.

For more information, people can contact Koepnick by email at sworfootballassigner@gmail.com or visit www. NewOfficials.org.

Milliron went on to outline the differences between the North Bend charter and the LOC model, stating that there are very few gaps between the two. Some are semantic differences, like council rules needing to be adopted by an ordinance (which is a formal law or regulation) versus a resolution (which is a formal expression of opinion or intention).

operates closer to a ‘council-manager’ form, which normally sees a City Manager implementing policies as the council deems fit. Another would be term limits for the mayor’s office. In the LOC charter, mayoral terms match those of the city council at 4 years. In North Bend, however, the mayor is elected every two years. There are arguments for both as a 4-year term would allow for longer term planning and alignment with council goals, but a shorter term keeps an elected official beholden to their constituents to maintain the mandate to govern on a more frequent basis.

you have no mechanism to discipline or remove a city councilor. This city spent in excess of $75,000 and they couldn’t do anything. You we’re left in a situation where you had your chief executive still having his civil rights violated,” asserted Milliron.

This was clearly in reference to the long-standing feud involving Milliron and former City Councilor Susanna Noordhoff, which culminated in her censure by council in the Spring of 2024. Noordhoff would choose to not run for re-election after having already survived a recall election. Should the committee choose to insert levers for removal of a councilor, it will be interesting what is chosen as criteria for said removal.

Others are differences of title. North Bend has a City Administrator, which normally assists the mayor in managing city services. However, North Bend

One particularly interesting suggestion from Milliron came at the 31-minute mark of the meeting, where he asserted that the ‘biggest question’ for a possible charter change came in the form of a mechanism to remove a city councilor. This is not in relation to a difference in the LOC model.

Congratulations to the 2025 July Jubilee Ambassador Court!

From the City of North Bend

July 8th, 2025 marked the official coronation, and the new court begins their year-long journey representing the City of North Bend at community events. The council chambers were filled with family, friends, and supporters — including several past July Jubilee ambassadors — to celebrate the occasion.

We would like to also welcome this year’s Ambassador Court Coordinator, Vicki Ericson, who will oversee the program throughout the coming year. Our heartfelt thanks go out to the past coordinators for their dedication, and to Pat Choat Pierce for leading the way so many years ago and laying the foundation for what the program is today.

The new court’s first task is supporting the three-day July Jubilee birthday celebration, taking place July 18th, 19th, and 20th. We encourage the community to join the festivities! A great opportunity to meet the 2025 Ambassador Court is at the kickoff event on Friday, July

18th, at 4:00 p.m. inside the North Bend Fire Department. The Kickoff event features birthday cake and Honored Citizens Awards.

We also extend our sincere thanks to the 2024 Ambassador Court — Addison Hansen, Clara Messner, Sophia Engelke Ryan, Addyson Garrett, and Juliana De La Torre — for their year of service and dedication.

A special thank you to returning ambassadors Sophia Engelke Ryan and Clara Messner for helping welcome the incoming court during the coronation, and to the North Bend City Council and Mayor Engelke for their continued support in this community celebration and Ambassador program. A sincere thank you to the volunteers who have contributed in the process for this year’s Ambassador Court program. We look forward to this year’s July Jubilee, celebrating North Bend’s 122nd birthday. For the threeday schedule and event details, visit: northbendoregon.us/julyjubilee

As I See It

It was September of 1949 and classes were set to begin at the new quonset hut grade school in East Bandon.

“First, second and third graders inaugurated the newly completed North Bandon grade school Monday, when classes were begun in the quonset type structure (first photo) for the first time,” according to an article on the front page of Western World.

In spite of its official name of North Bandon Grade School, it was always known as the Quonset Hut until it was closed and then it became the “Old Quonset Hut.”

“The new school houses one class each of the first three grades, consisting of primary pupils from the East Bandon area and those transported by the Prosper bus.

“Teachers in the building are Mrs. Lucy Jacobs, third grade and head teacher; Mrs. Winnifred Ray, second grade, and Mrs. Nellie Biggar, first grade.

“The building extends east and west, with entrances at both ends of a full-length hallway. Entering through the main entrance on the east, one sees the furnace room on the right, housing an automatic oil-burning hot air heating system, outside the main structure.

“There are now 99 youngsters in the first three grades, almost equally divided among the grades.

“The long corridor provides room for play during recesses, taken alternately by the three classes.”

Another article in the September 1949 Western World tells of plans to build a swimming pool by Leona Koff, owner of “Tanglewood,” a resort development being constructed on the north shore of Bradley Lake about three miles south of Bandon.

“Mrs. Koff says she plans to build a natatorium at Tanglewood, near where a 175’ x 75 foot skating

By Mary Schamehorn

rink (second photo) is now going up. She figures on a covered, heating pool with a swimming area about 40 x 60 and has already had the preparatory bulldozing started.

“Stating that she had heard rumors that someone else intended to start a natatorium in this area, Mrs. Koff said she hoped to find out for sure before proceeding very far with her plans. Whether to use salt water, piped from the ocean, or fresh water hasn’t been decided.”

As evidenced by the

poster that accompanies this article, the skating rink became a reality, but the swimming pool never materialized, and the rumor about someone else planning to build a pool also turned out to be false.

For some years before the Fire, Bandon enjoyed a natatorium on Coquille Point, owned by Jack Kronenberg and known as Wecoma Baths.

“Tanglewood eventually featured one of the largest dance halls in the area, replacing the Silver Spray Gardens which burned in the Fire of 1936.”

But no swimming pool!

The third article came out of the Sept. 24, 1936, Western World (two days before the disastrous Fire of Sept. 26,) and was headlined “Cafeteria to open.”

“Repairs are being made at the Central School (third photo) cafeteria, sponsored by the Bandon

Woman’s Civic Club, in view of opening on Monday, Oct. 4. Mrs. Mary Lockwood has been retained as cook, to be paid $30 a month. The lunches will be eight cents this year, and may be purchased by the week.

“Anyone wanting to donate potatoes, onions, cabbage, carrots and turnips may exchange them for tickets. The chairman, Mrs. Geo. Kronenberg, wishes anyone who has vegetables to get in touch with her before delivering them. Her phone number is 792.”

The Central School (now the site of Ocean Crest Elementary) burned to the ground in the Fire, unlike the high school in East Bandon, which survived, as did the gymnasium alongside it.

The gym provided a space for the elementary children to attend school after the Fire.

* * * As evidenced by the huge crowds in town for the Fourth of July, it

appears to have been a huge success, capped off by one of the best fireworks displays in a number of years, sponsored by the city of Bandon and fired off by Jim McDowell and his capable crew! The new location, at the northwest corner of the Moore Mill property, turned out to be an ideal location to detonate the fireworks.

Some said they were unaware of the change, but I had it in my column three weeks in a row, but “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.” I spend a lot of time each week trying to gather the news, but if people don’t have time or the desire to go to Bandon. tv on Monday morning, then I guess that’s on them.

Crowds gathered for the parade, the boat races and cornhole toss, with the dueling pianos at Warehouse Coffee Cafe sold out that evening and the GBA wine walk always popular. The

weather cooperated with the wind letting up for the Fourth after an unusually windy spring and early summer. A glitch occurred at the start of the parade when no one was available to reroute the highway traffic as the police chief and the other officer on duty had been called away to make an arrest. In past years, this has been handled by Tony Chatman and CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) but after Tony suffered health problems the group has disbanded. We’re hoping that people will come forward who may want to reactivate the CERT team, and if so, please let me know by emailing me at marys@coosnet.com.

* * * There have been some surprising new listings of commercial property in Bandon in recent weeks, with the latest being the Broken Anchor Bar and Grill business, owned by Jessica Neal, for sale for $615,000. It is in contrast to the nearby Bandon Coffee Cafe, which is the building for sale but not the business, and the price has been reduced to $495,000. Another new listing is the Shooting Star

In Loving Memory of Angela Sharon (Hilton) Orchard

July 20, 1942 – June 16, 2025

Angela Sharon Orchard, affectionately known to many as Sharon, passed away peacefully at home in Arago, surrounded by family. Born on July 20, 1942, in Tampa, Florida, Sharon’s life was one of deep connection, heartfelt service, and unwavering joy.

An only child, Sharon grew up in Okeechobee, Florida, where her roots ran deep and her friendships deeper still. She graduated from Okeechobee High School in 1960 and carried those friendships with her throughout her life. A gifted educator, Sharon attended Appalachian State Teachers College in Boone, North Carolina, graduating in 1964. There, she studied alongside dear friends from her hometown, preparing for a career that would impact the lives of countless students. She began her teaching journey in High Point and Reidsville, North Carolina, eventually accepting a position in Fort Bragg—a move that would change her life most profoundly.

It was while teaching at Fort Bragg that she met Paul David Orchard, a proud member of the Special Forces Green Berets. Their love was immediate and enduring. Sharon often referred to David as her “Knight in Shining Armor”. Within two weeks, they were engaged. David was deployed to Vietnam. In an extraordinary act of courage and faith, Sharon drove across the country in 1968 to Oregon, where she lived with her future in-laws

until David’s return. Soon after arriving in Oregon, she secured a teaching position with the Coquille School District. Upon David’s safe arrival home, they were married in the house that would soon echo with the laughter and love of their three daughters: Angie, Paula, and Samantha.

Sharon’s life was one of resilience. A breast cancer survivor since 1992, she faced life’s trials with unmatched grace and strength. David passed away in 1994. At this point, Sharon went back to teaching full-time for the Myrtle Point School District, eventually retiring in 2004. Retirement allowed her to pour her energy into the things and people she loved most.

Always a vibrant presence, Sharon was deeply involved in her community. Over the years, she gave her time generously to organizations such as the Myrtle Point Education Association, the Coquille Art Center, PEO, the Coquille Hospital Auxiliary, the Coquille Senior Center, the Ladies Auxiliary to VFW, and the Council for the Blind. Her passion for life and people was infectious. Whether she was organizing an event, playing cards, or simply chatting with a friend, Sharon made you feel seen, valued and loved.

After retirement, she embraced travel with the same enthusiasm she brought to every other aspect of life. Trips to Branson, Canada, New England, Nova Scotia, Alaska, and back home to Florida

George “Wayne” Slape

November 3, 1935 – July 1, 2025

Wayne Slape, longtime Coos Bay resident and founder of Slape Construction, passed away peacefully at home on July 1, 2025, leaving behind a lifetime of stories, laughter, and hard work that shaped all who knew him. Born on November 3, 1935, in a tent house under the Oregon City bridge during the depths of the Great Depression, Wayne entered the world to Rouss “Jack” Slape and Clemie Slape (née Ravan). His early life was spent traveling across the western United States as his family built Assembly of God churches. This wandering upbringing filled his life with vivid memories of North Bend, Sutherland, and Estacada, Oregon; Sunnyside, Washington; Pocatello and Idaho Falls, Idaho; and Lemmon, South Dakota, among many other places. A gifted storyteller, Wayne spoke fondly of his childhood adventures – switching schools midyear, earning first chair trumpet despite working after class every day, and building a race car during shop class. Throughout his life, he held a deep and abiding faith in God, which he shared with those around him through acts of kindness and love, including trips to El Salvador to help build missionary housing. A gentle and good

Ruth spent most of her early years in Boise, Idaho, but because her father was a Methodist minister, the family moved several times while she was young eventually moving to Coos Bay,

man, Wayne never hesitated to lend a hand to a friend in need. Wayne loved to share stories of his life. If you ran into him, you wanted to make sure you were ready to stand for a good long while as one story would often lead to the next. Always one to enjoy a bit of fun, he never missed an opportunity to dance to live music. In his 60s, he took up motorcycle riding which brought him great joy, many new friends, and a hobby to share with his children and grandchildren. Construction was woven into his life from childhood, beginning with church building as a boy alongside his father. In adulthood, he became the head construction millwright for the seven western states at US Plywood. In the 1960s, he attended Vickers Hydraulic School in Detroit, Michigan, later becoming master mechanic for MedCo in Medford, Oregon. Eventually, he built his own path, starting companies building fireplaces and homes in Gold Beach, Oregon, and Eureka, California. In his later years, Wayne settled in Coos Bay, where he built a respected construction company responsible for many of the industrial buildings, businesses, and homes that stand here today. Many of those in Coos County’s construction industry have

In recent years, Sharon found joy in her community at Ocean Ridge, where she built new friendships and stayed active in every way her health allowed. Described by those who knew her as sincere, kind, caring, creative, enthusiastic, and full of “Southern charm,” Sharon lived with an open heart.

Above all, Sharon was a devoted mother, grandmother, and greatgrandmother. Her friends and family were the light of her life, bringing her constant joy and pride.

Sharon leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and deep compassion. Her presence will be profoundly missed but forever felt in the lives she touched. She was the heart of her family and a true example of a life well-lived.

Alice May Miller Evans

April 19, 1935 – June 30, 2025

Alice May Miller Evans was born on April 19, 1935 in Myrtle Point, Oregon to Orvus H. Miller and Rosa Belle McQuigg Miller. After a short illness Alice left this earthly life on June 30, 2025 and crossed over to her heavenly home to be with God and to at last be reunited with her husband Richard (Dick) Evans whom she greatly missed and who preceded her in death in November 2020.

After contracting rheumatic fever as a young child, Alice grew up at her home along Sitkum Lane. She was active in 4-H and participated in band and sports and graduated from Myrtle Point High School. Alice met Richard (Dick) Paul Evans during high school, and they married on June 19, 1954 and made Myrtle Point their home. Richard and Alice had three children, Darrell R. Evans, Virginia D. Evans Harris and Richard P. Evans, Jr. Over the years, Alice helped Richard work on his father’s Holstein dairy as well as driving bus for the Myrtle Point School District for 20 years before retiring. Alice had a long and active life where, along with Dick, they raised sheep and pigs and encouraged their children with their animals and helped them take their various animal projects to the Coos County Fair and on to the Oregon State Fair in 4-H and in FFA. Alice was a 4-H Club leader for several years and also continued to show sheep and Holstein dairy cows. Alice also was active in the Coos County Fair by serving as the Sheep and Swine Superintendent for a number of years. In her later years Alice raised llamas and was successful in showing them in various fairs and winning numerous awards including a couple of National Halter Championships and having their animals place in the top 10 at the National Llama Show in Lincoln, Nebraska. Alice continued her participation at the Coos County Fair and even had an entry in the 2025 Fair.

Alice is survived by her three children and their spouses, daughter Virginia D

(Evans) Harris and husband William (Bill) Harris, and sons Darrell R.

Robert “Gordon” Ross

July 17, 1936 – July 3, 2025

Funeral services for Gordon Ross, of Coos Bay, were held at 11 am, Thursday July 10 at the Church of Christ, 775 Donnelly Avenue in Coos Bay. Interment will follow at the Coos River Cemetery

Gordon was called home to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ in the early hours of Thursday July 3rd, 2025 resulting from complications of a fall.

Gordon, the oldest of four children, was born July 17, 1936, to George and Joyce Ross of Marshfield, OR. He loved his family, his church family and his Lord. In his early 20s he was working part time at a service station in Portland while attending bible college. At this point in his life, he was aspiring to become a minister. Things changed when he fell for one of his regular customers, a sweet young widow who would become his wife of 65 years. Her name was Wilma Gosser, and she had a “tag along” 3-year-old son, Danny. After a whirlwind courtship they married and settled on his father’s dairy farm in Coos Bay. Wilma passed in Feb 2022. In addition to Wilma’s son Dan, they were blessed with 3 more children, Bob, Marcia and Debbie.

Gordon and Wilma had the “go bug”. It didn’t take much to get them out the door and on the road. In addition to domestic travels, they also visited Russia, New Zealand and Costa Rica many times. In later years Gordon and Wilma would pack a lunch nearly every day and share a sandwich while looking over Pacific waters in Charleston.

Gordon’s Coos County roots run deep. His great-grandfather (BF Ross) was one of the very first white settlers in the county. Perhaps because of this lineage he had a passion for county history and a conviction to serve his community. Following many decades in the dairy business, he served 4 terms as a county commissioner and was active in other civic associations including 32 years with the Coos Soil and Water Conservation District and the Oregon Coastal Zone Management Association. He felt one of his proudest accomplishments was while on the SWOCC board, enhancing the nursing program while it was in its early stages.

He loved sharing his deep knowledge of Coos County by giving talks at the Coos County Historical Society and Museum. His interest in local history even inspired him to write several books on family and

local history along with other musings.

Gordon will be remembered as a very generous man, giving both of himself as well as financially. He had a soft heart and always wanted to help those in need. He was a lifelong member of the Church of Christ in Coos Bay and through the years served both as a Deacon and Elder.

He is survived by brother, George Ross; children, Dan Ross and wife, Joan of Wilton, NH, Bob Ross and wife, Nanette of Coquille, OR and Debbie Ross Gorst of Myrtle Point, OR; grandchildren, Greg Ross, Lindsey Ross Hardie, Joshua Nugent, Jenny Nugent Messenger, Nathan Ross, Meghan Ross Hampton, Evan Ross, Bethany Ross Mason, Tylor Gorst, Quinn Gorst, Lane Gorst, as well as 25 greatgrandchildren.

He was preceded in death by both parents; sister, Margaret Crane; brother, James Ross and daughter, Marcia Ross Nugent.

A huge debt of gratitude to Prudence and David Munger for their careful and attentive care of Gordon over many years. Because of them, Gordon was able to live in the family home and stay mobile. Prudence, you are an angel on earth. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the charity of your choice.
