Tiny-home village at The Salvation Army moves forward By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

Another small step to find housing for those struggling was achieved last week when the Coos County Board of Commissioners voted to give $480,000 to The Salvation Army to build eight tiny homes to get families off the streets. The money was part of a grant awarded to Coos

County and the cities of Coos Bay and North Bend as part of a pilot program aimed at addressing homelessness in the county. Combined with funds from the Coquille Indian Housing Authority, The Salvation Army will have financial support to cover the cost of construction and operations through the end of 2025. Major David Kauffman presented his proposal to the

county commissioners less than a week after presenting it to the Coordinated Office on Houselessness. He said the goal will be to have construction begin in March with the first families moving in around June. Construction costs are estimated at $703,500 with operating costs running $350,000 yearly. The vote by the supervisors will fund the construction

of the actual tiny homes themselves. Under the plan released by The Salvation Army, the eight homes would measure 400-square feet with an emphasis on families and couples. Individuals would only be accepted if there were not enough families in need. In partnership with the Coquille Indian Housing Please see TINY HOMES Page 3

Oregon, U.S. history brought back to life Memorial recalls journey that ended tragically near Reedsport By DAVID RUPKALVIS The World

More than 195 years ago, 19 men embarked on a journey from California that would reshape both Oregon and American history and end with most of them dead near the mouth of the Smith River just outside of Reedsport. The men, led by Jedediah Smith, started their journey in San Diego, moved through what is Del Norte County, California, continued through current Curry County and Coos County. In July of 1928, they founded themselves near what is now Reedsport, when their trip came to a sudden and disastrous end. While camped out near the mouth of the Smith River, later named after Jedediah Smith, the group broke up briefly. Smith took two men to scout a route into the Williamette Valley, while the remaining 16 waited. While waiting, the men decided to trap for beaver along the river. After a successful trapping venture, the men sat out their furs to dry and camped out. What they didn’t know was a much larger group of Native Americans, members of the Coquille Indian Tribe, were watching. “The men were drying out their materials from a rainstorm,” said Bob Zybach, a local historian and a member of the Umpqua Memorial Committee. “On a

signal, 110 Indians attacked the men, killing 15 of them and one escaped.” Zybach said the Natives were angry for several reasons – one being the beavers that were trapped – and they destroyed the men, leaving only their bodies behind. “As they were attacked and killed, Smith and the others came back and saw what had happened, jumped into the river, swam to the other side and escaped that way,” Zybach said. The four escapees were Please see HISTORICAL Page 3

Hospital employee charged for mishandling cash By TONY REED Country Media

Little has been disclosed about a case being handled in Douglas County involving charges filed against a hospital employee. Lower Umpqua Hospital District released a statement Oct. 18, saying an unnamed employee was placed on administrative leave for “mishandling of patient cash payments.” “The District also immediately notified Law Enforcement of the alleged criminal activities,” the release states. “As of Oct. 6, the employee identified in this matter has been officially charged.” No further information was provided. “Lower Umpqua Hospital District appreciates the efforts of the Reedsport Police Department and Douglas County District Attorneys office,” the LUHD release states. “We look forward to the due process of law in court.” On DA Rick Wesenberg’s behalf, staff at the Douglas County DA’s Office refused to give any information about the case or disclose the legal cause for withholding the information. Therefore, it is not known if the alleged “mishandling of patient cash payments” is being handled as a felony, if the subject was arrested or jailed, or what specific charges have been filed. An arraignment is set for Nov. 7.

After being thrown into the fire by being appointed in the middle of the legislative session, Court Boice is hoping voters will give him a full term as state representative in House District 1. Boice, who moved the Legislature after serving six years as county commissioner in Curry County, said the lessons he learned during his first legislative session have prepared him to be an effective lawmaker representing parts of Coos, Curry and Douglas counties. Boice officially filed to run for election a few weeks ago, saying it was honor to serve. “It was enjoyable to walk from the Capitol across the street to

the Secretary of State recently. I wanted to re-file for public office in a traditional way,” Boice said. “As we head toward 2024, I look for solid and continuing success as my job is to do everything possible to improve the quality of life for everyone I represent. With all required, this past nine months has been very intense, which of course, included the summer fires. However, what a privilege it is to be a public servant for our three counties.” Boice said he is eager to move to the short session in the coming months and is ready to continue to fight for his district. “I’m in the fight,” he said. “I’m full of energy, I have health. I built the right relationships. I love people. I have eight to 10 Democrats I

work with. We need to save the state. We’re in trouble.” One of the big issues facing the state is the homelessness crisis and an overall lack of housing. As a member of the Housing and Homelessness Committee, Boice said he is working with both parties to find solutions. “I’m on the opposite party, but the governor is doing a great job on this,” Boice said. “She’s got good people around here. She treats me with respect.” Boice said one of the toughest votes he made in the last session was in support of Gov. Tina Kotek’s plan to provide funding to only the largest counties to battle homelessness. Boice said while most Please see BOICE Page 3

Moore responded to a vehicle vs. motorcycle crash at the intersection of Flanagan and Bay Park Lane in Coos Bay. The motorcycle operator, Tony Edwards, fled the scene upon learning that the police were on their way. It was discovered that Tony was not the motorcycle’s owner, and

his driving status was suspended due to a violation. Deputies later found the vehicle at Tony’s residence, but he refused to come out, and his family denied his presence. On October 22 around 6:54 a.m., Deputy Z. Smith spotted Tony on the property and arrested him for hit & run - property damage. Tony was taken to Coos County Jail, where he was booked.

the overwhelming majority want change,” said Senator Brock Smith. “The decriminalization of drug possession, the lack of incarceration and required treatment has caused a dramatic increase in drug use and addiction, increased homelessness, open drug use in our communities and increases in overall property and other crimes. Measure 110 has ultimately compromised the safety of our residents by reducing the deterrent effect of law enforcement, taking away their ability for arrest.” Oregon was the first state in the nation to decriminalize possession of certain drugs through

I also appreciate the support of our County Sheriffs and District Attorneys on these county resolution requests.” “As the State Senator for District 1, which includes all of Curry and most of Coos and Douglas Counties, I stand with our County Commissioners in their request. We must repeal Measure 110 to give our law enforcement officers the tools needed to protect the health and safety of our residents and their communities. I call on Governor Kotek and my legislative colleagues to act,” concluded Senator Brock Smith.

able to then tell the story of what had happened. On October 28, 1928, a group of men returned and buried the remains of the 15 men who were killed. Zybach said their journey and their story is one that should be remembered, not just because of the men who were killed but because of the impact of history. “This is a critical event in Oregon and U.S. history and British history,” Zybach said. “We essentially secured the land away from the British. It’s very responsible for setting up the mass migration to the Williamette Valley.” Despite the historical impact, the story has all but disappeared from the history books. “A lot of people along the coast don’t even know who Jedediah Smith was,” Zybach said. Knowing that was wrong, Zybach and others have worked to learn all they could about the journey and their deadly ending. They now want the world to know. Zybach began researching the story in 1987 and found two men – Wayne Knauf and Don Whereat – with the same interest. Together, they were able to discover what had happened before and after the deadly event of July 14, 1928. After decades of work with the Jedediah Smith Society and the Oregon Websites and Watersheds Project, a public recognition was held last week to remember the 11 men who died at the mouth of the Smith River. “On Oct. 28, 195 years after the men were buried, we’re going to dedicate the monument,” Zybach said. “The purpose is to educate the public about what happened there.” The monument came about quickly this year after someone suggested a monument in April. The very next day, David Gould with Coos Bay Timber Operators said he would donate a memorial stone. Larry Hager of Bronzecraft Memorials agreed to make a plaque and Stu Richardson of Richardson Masonry in Reedsport installed the plaque on the memorial stone. After the story almost disappeared from history, thanks to the volunteers with the Jedediah Smith Society and Oregon Websites and Watershed Project, a memorial will forever be in place where the 11 men were buried.

of the state was left out, supporting the governor in that action helped he and others negotiate a plan to add funding for rural counties. “We got $40 million, so that was a win,” Boice said. Boice is also supportive of a Republican plan to overturn Measure 110 that decrminalized almost all drug use in the state. “110 has brought us an enormous mess,” Boice said. “The crime, the homelessness, all the crap. I have grandchildren, and I don’t want to leave this mess. Re-criminalize hard drug usage and

mandatory treatment for those stuck in addictions. Our citizens are rightfully concerned and faced every day with a declining Oregon. The far-left has been in charge of our state now for more than 40 years. We need a balance of power with conservative majorities in the Oregon House and Senate.” As it has been for many years, a key issue for Boice remains improving the state’s response to wildfires. This summer, he worked around the clock to help local, state and federal agencies fight several major fires in Curry County, and he said it’s time to make changes to stop the fires before they turn disastrous. “We’re making some headway,” Boice said.

“But we’re still not managing our forests very well. They won’t let us in to harvest the trees after the fires, and the trees become sticks of dynamite in the next fire. We have parts of Curry County that have burned three times.” Boice has the endorsement of the Oregon Taxpayers Association, Oregon Right to Life, a 100% positive voting record with the National Federation of Independent Business, Oregon Forest Resource Council and many more. “I’m honored and humbled by the responsibility of representing 75,000 people in my Coos, Curry and Douglas Tri-Counties,” Boice said. “We can change

Army would provide one hot meal a day and would provide food and clothing through existing programs. In addition to transitional housing, Hope Village at the Bay would provide social services such as group and individual counseling, life skills training, assistance with finding jobs and,

ultimately, assistance with finding permanent housing. All residents would have to agree to a sobriety requirement as well. “We propose establishing an eightunit micro community under the Hope Village of Coos Bay program.” Kauffman said. “The community will cater to families, including Tribal

members, veterans, seniors, couples and singles open to sharing. Our approach is holistic, prioritizing the individual needs of our guests.” The eight homes will be built directly behind the existing Salvation Army facilities in Empire. Kauffman said The Salvation Army is uniquely prepared to help meet the needs of homeless families. “We have extensive experience working with unhoused,” he said. “We do it every

The Homeless Response Advisory Board supported the project, saying it meets one of their requirements from the state.

eight new shelter units, and the project will meet that requirement. The Salvation Army will also be working with other community organization to ensure the social services needed for residents can be met. “Homelessness presents manifold challenges, necessitating a community-driven approach to usher meaningful change,” said Andrew Brainard, director of the Coos County Homeless Response Office. “Together with The Salvation Army, our vision is not confined to merely offering shelter but to pave a path to independence and consistent housing.” Kauffman said getting support from Coos County and the homeless advisory board was a key step in getting the project moving forward. “Addressing homelessness is at the heart of our mission,” Kauffman said. “Working towards solidifying this collaboration is a testament to our unwavering commitment. Our goal is to ignite hope, uphold dignity, and open doors for families to rebuild and rejuvenate their lives.”

Pirates, Bulldogs reach state volleyball tournament Marshfield’s volleyball team will get a chance to defend its state title and will be joined in Springfield by Bay Area neighbor North Bend after both won their playoff matches Saturday. Bandon, Coquille and Myrtle Point all lost their first-round matches and were denied spots in their respective state tournaments. The top-ranked Pirates swept La Grande 25-14, 2511, 25-19 at Pirate Palace to earn their return trip to the Class 4A state tournament. They will face The Dalles in the quarterfinals Friday at 1:15 p.m. The Dalles beat host Pendleton 25-21, 25-22, 25-15 on Saturday. Marist Catholic, the last team to beat Marshfield,

also advanced with the No. 2 Spartans sweeping Klamath Union 25-14, 25-13, 25-15 on Saturday. The Spartans will meet Crook County in the quarterfinals Friday. Cottage Grove, the Sky-Em League’s fourth-place team, fell at Tillamook 25-20, 24-26, 25-14, 25-13. Tickets for the state tournament are $10 for adults and $6 for students for each two-match session. They can be purchased in advance through HomeTown Ticketing on the OSAA Website, www. osaa.org. BULLDOGS SWEEP: North Bend beat visiting Astoria 2522, 25-23, 25-13 to earn its trip to the state tournament. The Bulldogs had advanced

to the playoffs by winning their play-in game against Scappoose on Tuesday in three sets, 25-16, 25-19, 2510. That secured the home match against Astoria. North Bend, the No. 5 seed, will play at the same time as Marshfield in the quarterfinals on Friday, facing Cascade. The Cougars swept Estacada on Saturday. If North Bend and Marshfield both win their quarterfinal matches, they will meet in the semifinals. CRUSADERS BEAT BANDON: Salem Academy swept Bandon in the first round of the Class 2A playoffs on Saturday, beating the visiting Tigers 25-11, 25-16, 25-6. Bandon had won the Valley

Marshfield wins to reach football playoffs Marshfield’s football team upset visiting Mazama on Friday night to earn a spot in the Class 4A playoffs. Marshfield will play at La Salle Prep in the Portland area in the first round Friday night. A win over the sixth-seeded Falcons would put Marshfield into the quarterfinals against either Estacada or Seaside. The Pirates needed a win to advance, and in the process knocked out North Bend, which would have had the tiebreaker if they ended up in a three-way tie for third with Ashland. The Grizzlies beat the Bulldogs for the final playoff spot based on their win over North Bend a week earlier. Mazama had come

into the game ranked No. 5 in Class 4A, but Marshfield won the contest at home 26-20 to clinch the league’s No. 2 seed into the playoffs.

ing beaten all its other league foes by at least four touchdowns. The Hornets host Gladstone in the first round. Mazama hosts Pendleton in the first round and Ashland visits Scappoose.

OSAA: There is an urgent need for basketball, wrestling officials The Oregon Athletic Officials Association and the Oregon School Activities Association are recruiting officials for the high school winter sports seasons. There is an immediate need for officials in basketball and wrestling. Becoming a high school official has several benefits including staying involved in athletics, maintaining good physical condition and earning money, according to OAOA Executive Director Jack Folliard. “Oregon has an urgent need for officials in all sports,” Folliard said. “Officials provide valuable service to high schools and students, make a positive impact in the community and build relationships.” Those interested should visit www.newofficials.org. The Oregon Athletic Officials Association, “Dedicated to the Advancement of High School Officiating in Oregon”, includes more than 2,300 certified officials in volleyball, soccer, football, cheerleading, wrestling, basketball, baseball and softball.

Myrtle Point beat Adrian 54-46 in the season opener. POWERS GETS BYE: Powers did not have a game the final week of the regular season and will get this week off as well as the No. 2 seed in the Class 1A six-player division. The Cruisers were a perfect 8-0 in the regular season and will host the winner of a firstround game between

Echo and Alsea in the quarterfinals. COQUILLE 42, ST. MARY’S 16: The Red Devils dominated the host Crusaders to finish with a winning record, but will miss the Class 3A playoffs. Coquille finished 5-4 overall and in the Far West League, which gets four playoff spots. The Red Devils were fifth in the league, with their losses all coming at home to the four teams above them in the standings — Cascade Christian, Lakeview, North Valley and South Umpqua. Coquille finished 17th in the final power rankings, not quite high enough to earn the at-large berth to the 16team playoff bracket.

Obituaries (Continued on Page 6) Edward James Landucci June 29, 1944 – July 26, 2023

Edward James Landucci was born on June 29, 1944 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in San Francisco. The son of an Italian immigrant from Torre del Lago Italy, Eto Landucci, and an Italian Irish mother, Dorothy Brady, he grew up in an Italian neighborhood surrounded by his grandparents and several aunts and uncles who had also emigrated to San Francisco. Edward attended Catholic schools in San Francisco - All Hallows Elementary school and Father Junipero Serra High School. He continued his Catholic school education at the University of Portland and though he loved Portland and resolved to return, he finished his college education at San Francisco State University, earning his BS in 1968 and his MS in 1970, playing rugby, managing a campus bar, working as a bouncer in North Beach clubs and frequenting City Lights Bookstore in his spare time. After graduating Ed and a friend decided to seek their fortune in Alaska, where they hoped to buy some land and build a house. They stopped in Bandon for a beer at the Pastime Tavern in Old Town and met realtor Dan Thomas who sold them

5 acres on Stewart Road (for only $3,000). Alaska would have to wait. While building a house on his new property Ed met his future wife, Christine Conner, who had moved to Coos County for her first teaching job at Englewood School in Coos Bay. Together they toiled away on their hand built home and in true ‘70s “back to the land” style, planted a garden and tried their hand at raising chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, goats and pigs. They also started raising a family and 3 children later Ed realized that he needed a career more lucrative than teaching speech and English part time at SWOCC and being the co-proprietor of an antique store. Ed began his 35+ year career in real estate in 1985 as the owner of Oregon Properties Realty. Although he retired from maintaining an office in 2012, he kept his license current and took continuing education classes so he could help his family and friends with real estate issues. He remained active in the community, serving as a member and past chairman of the Bandon Planning Commission and member and past President of Bandon Rotary

International, and board member of Grow Together, an educational student gardening non-profit. A lifelong philatelist (stamp collector) and coin collector, Ed and his son, Eto have been co-owners of an EBay stamp and military memorabilia store for over 15 years. An avid reader, Ed was known for his wide-ranging knowledge of history and obscure interesting facts. He was a great story-teller and conversationalist and in later years could be seen talking, walking, and gesturing all around Bandon with his buddy, Pete. An excellent cook and host, Ed will be remembered and sorely missed by friends and family for wonderful meals and good times around the table. He died on July 26, 2023 at Bay Area Hospital of pancreatic cancer only 10 days after being diagnosed. He went peacefully in his sleep, cared for compassionately by the staff on the third floor. Survived by his wife - Christine “Crystal” Landucci; 3 children - Eto Landucci, Anne Landucci Trombley, Francesca Landucci; 2 grandchildren - Simone Trombley and Isla Trombley; a sister - Susan DePaula; two nephews

Ross Winston Tofflemire

- Ryan DePaula and Zachary DePaula; and 1 great nephew - Theodore Eto DePaula. At Ed’s request there will be a small family gathering in the fall to roast and toast him. Any bequests in his honor can be sent to the Bandon Rotary Scholarship fund. Friends may offer condolences online at westrumfuneralservice.com. Arrangements are under the direction of Amling Schroeder Funeral Service, Bandon.

The family of Ross Winston Tofflemire, 86, of Coos Bay, regret to announce his passing on October 9, 2023. He died peacefully in his home, in the caring hands of his immediate family.

Letter to the Editor

More and more dangerous

A Country Media Newspaper 172 Anderson Ave., Coos Bay, OR 97420 WorldEditor@CountryMedia.net TheWorldLink.com/opinion

Opinions expressed on this page are the writer’s alone and do not represent the opinion of the newspaper or its parent company, Country Media, Inc.

Methamphetamine is a potent stimulant that has the potential to cause delusions, hallucinations, and paranoia. Meth causes people to stay up late, which leads to this negative behavior. Some people might believe that methamphetamine overdose is practically unheard of. The problem is that although methamphetamine overdoses are uncommon, they have recently peaked. Heroin and Cocaine are the most typical ingredients in speedballs. Numerous people have died as a result of speed-balling, including Chris Farley, River Phoenix, and John Belushi. It still applies even though Farley died from morphine and cocaine while Belushi, Phoenix, and Phoenix died from heroin and cocaine. However, Fentanyl has made it much deadlier recently. The increase in overdoses is caused by the addition of Fentanyl to drugs. Up to fifty times as potent

as heroin and one hundred times as potent as morphine, respectively, is fentanyl. Users are not even aware of what they are taking due to the extreme potency of fentanyl and the fact that it is added secretly to stimulants. They are unsure of why using makes them feel different. An intense rush occurs when an opioid and a stimulant are combined. To “counteract” each drug’s negative side effects, they use speedballs. Meth can make a person anxious, agitated, and paranoid, whereas Fentanyl can make a person feel sleepy and have trouble staying awake. These two cancel each other out when they are combined. However, there is a higher risk when using two different drugs.

Creative builders get rural housing done By DAVE MARSTON

Writers on the Range Here’s a statistic to be unhappy about: Colorado and Utah host the fifth and sixth most expensive housing markets in the country, according to Bankrate.com. But here’s the good news: two rural housing champions in those states have found creative ways to build affordable housing.

Coos County When Community Rebuilds Sheriff’s Office

Guest Column

Recent questions about Police Pursuits Due to recent events in Coos County, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office has been fielding several questions about vehicle pursuits. Similar to the following; • Why pursue a vehicle? • When should you terminate a pursuit? • Why aren’t roads blocked off? • Why doesn’t law enforcement use the Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver? Etc. The answer to these and other questions can vary greatly depending on the reason for the pursuit, weather, traffic flow, risk to the public, risk to the offender, and risk to the officers involved. A police pursuit is usually initiated to take the driver of a vehicle into custody for crimes previously committed, outstanding warrants, or crimes committed in the officer’s presence. The Officer initiating the pursuit is tasked with several essential duties during the pursuit and is constantly evaluating traffic flow, populated areas vs un-populated areas, and risk of continuing the pursuit vs. apprehension of the suspect. Many times, you will hear of police pursuits that are terminated. That is likely due to one or all of the factors mentioned above. Your local law enforcement has been thoroughly trained in pursuit tactics and intervention to bring a vehicle chase to a safe resolution. All certified law enforcement Officers have attended the Emergency

sells a home to qualified residents, the cost is about $220,000, though the houses are worth $500,000 on the open market. To block flipping, the $280,000 in equity is transferred to the owners over a period of 20 years. Niehaus said that USDA’s Direct Loan Program for rural areas restricts buyers to those who make 80% of an area’s median income. Typically, that’s $37,000 for a household of two. There’s a long waiting list for houses, but Niehaus, who has been succeeded as boss by Rikki Epperson, said applicants usually spend those years cleaning up their credit to qualify for a mortgage. Niehaus added that financial counseling is a key component to spurring home ownership. Over in the western Colorado town of Montrose, Carlton Mason has also developed a novel way to build houses for the rural unhoused. The ex-builder constructs communities for young adults aging out of foster care, and recently he included senior citizens needing housing as well. He got into housing because of his job as director of CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates, for the 7th Judicial District in western Colorado, covering six counties. Mason said he found that 18-year-olds newly on their own needed lots of help. But what they especially needed was somewhere to live. His first project, called 1st Place on 2nd Street, was completed in 2018 by tapping into state, federal and foundation grants, providing housing in Montrose for up to 12 residents. The suicide of one of those residents shook Mason. In response, he beefed up residential support: “Residents needed to build relationships

Dave Marston with trusted adults who could also give advice about saving money and staying employed or in school. They needed to know adults actually cared about them.” “We’ve thrown money at housing for decades,” he added, “and often we end up with blighted communities. Providing adequate and safe housing is just the first step in helping the most disadvantaged people.” Both Mason and Niehaus agree that their method of harnessing a variety of funding isn’t for everyone. “I’ve been asked to advise other communities on how to build houses for middleincome residents,” Niehaus said. “But I only know how to build houses for low-income residents using volunteer labor and USDA funding.” As for Mason, who’s on a roll to build more needed housing on non-agricultural land, he said, “I’ve had to learn as I went, but as support got bigger, I saw we can get things done I never thought possible.” Dave Marston is the publisher of Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to spurring conversation about Western Issues.

NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for 01/11/2024 (date). The date of this sale may be postponed. Unless the lender that is foreclosing on this property is paid before the sale date, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. After the sale, the new owner is required to provide you with contact information and notice that the sale took place. The following information applies to you only if you are a bona fide tenant occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM

EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING IN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: • 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR • AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TO-MONTH OR WEEK-TO-WEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’s-length transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure

sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free. Information about whom to contact for free legal assistance is included with this notice. OREGON STATE BAR, 16037 S.W.

Obituaries Lawrence “Larry” Harold Frischman June 12, 1937 – October 18, 2023

A graveside service was held for Larry H. Frischman, 86, of Lakeside, on Tuesday, October 24, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at Sunset Memorial Park in Coos Bay. Born in Goodrich, Wisconsin, Larry told stories of tapping trees for maple syrup, walking to school and feeding the cows in feet of snow and having icicles hanging from his bedroom roof of his house. In 1956 Larry graduated from Marshfield High School in Wisconsin and joined the Marine Corps. He served for two years, working as a mechanic and driving a variety of fire equipment. After the Marines, Larry found himself working at a store in Lakeside, Oregon, where he met his wife, Florence Menegat. Larry and

Florence married September 5, 1961 and were happily married for 62 years. Throughout Larry’s life, he had various jobs and talents. He worked for the PUD, City of Lakeside Water District, volunteered as a firefighter, helped build the Lakeside Fire Hall, served as Lakeside Fire Chief, sat on the first city council in Lakeside when Lakeside became incorporated, drove a hay truck, had a school bus route and drove a gas tanker truck for Graham Oil until his retirement. When Larry was home, he still worked hard. He had a vast range of experiences from building his family house with his family, owning his own saw mill to cut lumber, tending to his

property, working with his father-in-law, Pete Menegat, on his ranch, spending the summers bailing hay for the cows, bee keeping, and fixing anything that needed repaired. Larry was truly the jack of all trades. Larry is survived by his wife, Florence; daughter, Nadine and husband, Joel Hurtado and their children, Russell and Sierra ( husband Taylor ) Jarding; son, Joe and his wife, Danica and their boys, Kyle and Matt; brother, Vern; and sisters, Louise Van Alstyne, Bernice Evans and Betty Epperson. Larry was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence and Ruth; sister, Virginia and his father and mother-inlaw, Pete and Freda. Friends and family are encouraged to sign the online guestbook at www.coosbayareafunerals.com. Arrangements are under the care of North Bend Chapel, 541-756-0440.

The World

Henthorn repeats as middle school district XC champ Coquille eighth-grader Ella Henthorn became a three-time district champion for the Far West League in cross country when she won the league meet at Tugman State Park last week. Henthorn covered the 3,000-meter course in 11 minutes and 31 seconds. North Bend’s Addison Horning, another eighth-grader, was runner-up for the second straight year, finishing in 11:48. They were followed by a pair of runners from Curry County — Leila Newman, a sixth-grader at Azalea (Brookings) and Jane Moon, an eighth-grader at Riley Creek (Gold Beach). The rest of the top 10

were Jael Legutki of Harbor Lights (Bandon) in 12:39, Pearl Jensen of Siuslaw (Florence) in 12:45, Bella Cox of Marshfield in 12:50, Azalea’s Aspen Dimmick (12:52) and Sawyer Adams (12:53) and Bella Storm of North Bend (13:05). Siuslaw won a tight team race with 61 points. Azalea was next with 67, North Bend had 69, Harbor Lights had 74 and Coquille had 75. Santiago Hernandez of Driftwood in Port Orford won the boys title in 10:52 after finishing seventh as a seventh-grader last fall. He was followed by two runners from Siuslaw — Henry Stone and

Bentley Nelson, both in 11:00 — and two runners from Harbor Lights — Trask Wehner (11:04) and Jonah Brown (11:07). The rest of the top 10 were Reedsport’s Alex Martinez (11:09), Myrtle Point’s Zane Wheeler (11:14), Sutherlin’s Curtis Martz (11:19), Sailor Jensen of Siuslaw (11:20) and Raleigh Collier of North Bend (11:25). Unlike the girls team race, the boys were not close. Siuslaw won with 29 points to 81 for North Bend, 94 for Harbor Lights, 98 for Coquille, 122 for Marshfield, 157 for Sutherlin, 162 for Reedsport and 201 for Winston.

Commissioners, district attorney and sheriff call for repeal of Measure 110 The Douglas County Board of Commissioners Tom Kress, Chris Boice, and Tim Freeman in conjunction with Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin and Douglas County District Attorney Rick Wesenberg have joined forces to send a clear message to Salem asking for the repeal of the 2020 Oregon Ballot Measure 110 (aka Drug Addiction Treatment and Recovery Act) and a return to the enforcement of Federal Drug Laws. “In our humble opinion, Measure 110 was touted, promoted, and sold to Oregonians in 2020 as a supposed ‘humane solution’ for Oregon’s growing drug epidemic and overcrowded prisons. However, well-intended the measure was, it has not held up to the promises made, and far more serious are the unintended consequences that are wreaking havoc and destroying our communities and our families. The limitations placed on law enforcement and the DA because of Measure 110 have made it impossible for them to effectively control drug use in our County. It has created a society without penalties.” – Board Chair, Commissioner Tom Kress. The attached letter was approved by the Commissioners at the Wednesday, October 4, 2023, Weekly Business Meeting, signed by all parties and sent to Governor Kotek,

Members of the Legislative Assembly, US Attorney Wight, and Former US Attorney Billy Williams. The letter comes in response to several outcries from the citizens of Douglas County who are concerned with the huge increase and rampant drug use, drug crimes, and drug related deaths in their communities. “The promise of Measure 110 was treatment not punishment. But that has turned into a failed promise and even more importantly the lack of legal consequences has proven disastrous for our citizens and communities. The frustration we hear from our citizens about rampant drug use and punishment are the same frustrations that we share. We feel the decisions being made [in Salem] are creating this systemic problem. Something has got to change! From our standpoint as Commissioners, one of the roles we have is making sure that the Sheriff’s Office, District Attorney’s Office, and DINT all have the resources they need to do their jobs. Of the counties that are small timber receipt counties like Douglas County, we are one of the last counties that still does 24/7 patrols, we are one of the last that still prosecutes all crimes, and that’s because the Commissioners and the budget committee make public safety a priority. I wanted to let you know that we are doing everything we can to combat drugs, but

unless Measure 110 is repealed, our hands are tied.” - Commissioner Tim Freeman Additionally, in response to community concerns, the quintet of Douglas County Officials, along with DINT Commander Rick McArthur agreed to be part of a panel discussion during a special Town Hall Meeting in Yoncalla on Tuesday, October 10, 2023. The Yoncalla Town Hall Meeting was held prior to the Yoncalla City Council Meeting and offered an opportunity for Yoncalla area residents to speak openly and share their concerns with elected officials about the ongoing drug epidemic. “What has turned out to be fishy about Measure 110 is that the out of state measure financiers sold the voters on the promise that, ‘We are not going to put people in prison for minor drug possession charges, because it’s not going to be illegal anymore. This will decrease drug use and crime because everyone that needs it, is now going to get treatment.’ But, what they didn’t tell everybody was that the treatment beds do not exist, the treatment programs do not exist, and more importantly now there was no motivation or consequences to get addicts into treatment. Because now it is essentially just a traffic ticket. For example, an open container of alcohol in a vehicle is currently around a $400-

Amidst answering questions and responding to comments made by the citizens, the panel reinforced their stance about the use, misuse, sale, and distribution of illegal drugs. They firmly believe that possession or sales need be considered a criminal offense and prosecuted as such. Discussion between citizens and the panel centered around the following points: • Measure 110 and the negative impact it has had on the criminal justice system in Douglas County and all across the State of Oregon. • The recent letter signed by the Board of Commissioners, District Attorney Wesenberg, Sheriff Hanlin asking Governor Kotek to repeal Measure 110. • The impact of the

$500 ticket. While possession of a personal amount of methamphetamine is less than a $100 ticket. According to law enforcement, most people just crumble up the ticket and forget about it. Now there is a phone number on the ticket for treatment, but statistics on that statewide show that of the people given tickets for drug possession only a small percentage even call the treatment number and even less actually get treatment. The percentage is so small that it is in the single digits and doesn’t even register. Sadly, what this has done is make Oregon essentially a free-for-all. It’s absolutely terrifying.” – District Attorney Rick Wesenberg.

public defender shortage. • How citizens can help Law Enforcement do their jobs by reporting crimes as they happen (even to the point of being a squeaky wheel). • The process involved in investigating and prosecuting crimes. • The importance of educating youth in schools about preventing substance abuse and the realities of drug addiction. • As well as vote and encourage others to vote in ways that support public safety and law enforcement, since many of the issues our communities are facing are because legislation coming out of Salem does not address the serious uptick in drugs that is overrunning our communities. “Through state grant programs we received funding to support our Local Public Safety Coordinating Council through our Justice Reinvestment Committee. We utilize this funding to support a local program in our jail called RSAT (Residential Substance Abuse Treatment). This program allows the opportunity for jail inmates convicted of drug crimes to complete this program instead of serving time in prison. With this program they would stay in the local jail and receive substance abuse treatment while serving their sentence. Up until Measure 110 was passed, we were seeing

significant success in this program and subsequent drug rehabilitation after-care programs that were giving people a second chance to learn to live drug free, pay off their debts, be productive members of society and reunite with their families. But Measure 110 has all but killed that program. We are having a hard time filling those RSAT spots now, because no one is getting sent to prison for drugs anymore.” – Commissioner Chris Boice On the law enforcement side of Measure 110, the situation is pretty grim as well. “This drug problem affects us all. Me included. For any of you that have loved ones affected by drug problems, I feel your pain. But, it’s important for citizens to continue to be vigilant in reporting crimes, all crimes. You’ve got to call dispatch when you see these problems happening. When you get frustrated because an arrest wasn’t made, don’t get frustrated with us (law enforcement) because we are just as frustrated that we can’t do anything. You need to get frustrated with the state legislature and with the Governor and with our society that has made this drug problem unpardonable to everyone. Your frustrations are exactly our frustrations. You say we aren’t doing our job, and you know what? We’re not doing our job and you know why? Because the state has taken away our ability to do our job!” - Sheriff John Hanlin
