HOLY COW! HISTORY:

America’s First Viral ‘Fake News’ Moment

We hear a lot these days about “fake news,” but it’s not a new complaint. In fact, one wartime reporting blunder hit America like a bombshell. Here’s the story.

Mankind had never seen anything like World War I. It featured brandnew horrors such as poison gas, bombs dropped from the sky, tanks and machine guns. More than 70 million people from 32 countries fought, and 17 million died. An additional 20 million were wounded.

Folks desperately wanted the war to end. When November 1918 arrived, it seemed peace was finally within sight.

Which is where Roy Howard enters the story. He was the president of United Press (later United Press International), a news service locked in fierce competition with rival The Associated Press.

With the war winding down, Howard was in Brest, France, on Nov. 7, meeting with Adm. Henry Wilson,

the commander of American naval forces there.

Exactly what happened next is fuzzy. Wilson had just received word (either by telegram or phone) from a friend at the American Embassy in Paris that an armistice had been signed that morning. The war was over!

Journalists spend their entire career waiting for a scoop that big. And Howard had it all to himself.

He asked Wilson if it was OK to report the news. Sure, the admiral said.

Howard sped off to the nearest telegraph office, where he violated UP’s rules. All dispatches coming from France were to be signed by Howard and William Simms, UP’s foreign editor. But Simms was 375 miles away in Paris. Waiting to reach him would jeopardize the exclusive.

So Howard simply forged Simms’ signature and sent these words:

“URGENT – ARMISTICE ALLIES SIGNED ELEVEN [this morning] — HOSTILITIES CEASED TWO [this afternoon]

I am in support of the Wild Coast Trail Association’s proposal to develop a dedicated in-town recreational trail system within our centrally located Pony Creek Watershed.

Having an in-town recreational trail system, accessible on foot or by wheels, will transform our community.

I believe this project is essential for several reasons: - Community Health and Well-Being: Safe and easy access to recreational areas lowers the barrier to physical activity. Exercise is essential for our bodies and we know that physical activity, particularly when done outdoors, directly improves emotional health.

HOWARD-SIMMS.”

The news hit New York like a bomb. Wall Street suspended trading at 1 p.m. Stores closed, with one merchant posting in his window, “Too happy to work. Come back tomorrow!” Traffic stopped as crowded streets turned into impromptu block parties. And of course, alcohol flowed very, very freely.

The word Americans, and all people the world over, had longed to hear was finally being said. Peace.

Except it wasn’t. Across the Atlantic, the war still raged in France. Adm. Wilson’s friend had merely passed along a rumor. And Howard hadn’t bothered to confirm it.

When the news reached Washington, Secretary of State Robert Lansing practically tripped over himself issuing a denial. It hit the wires at 2:15 p.m.

However, the people rejected it. They clung to what they wanted to believe, that the war was indeed over, and they weren’t going to let anyone take it away from them. Angry mobs destroyed copies of newspapers

that ran the denial and even briefly attacked the Associated Press’ New York office when it couldn’t confirm an armistice.

Celebrations lasted all night across the country.

Yet, by the next morning, there could be no disputing it. Men were still fighting and dying in the trenches. The UP had got it wrong.

The New York Times called it “the most flagrant and culpable act of public deception” in the history of journalism. The New York Evening Sun gloated that it hadn’t reported the “fake news” as fact.

The armistice was actually signed a few days later, “on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.”

With the war really and truly over, Americans did it all over again. The so-called “False Armistice” of Nov. 7 had merely been a dress rehearsal for the real thing on the 11th.

As for Roy Howard, he wiped the egg off his face and soldiered on.

He headed the E.W. Scripps Com-

- Economic Growth and Talent Retention: Our community is growing and we need more talented workers, like those in public safety, healthcare, and education. But we must attract these working professionals, and their families too. Studies in economic development have shown that recreational trail systems are a top-tier amenity for families when choosing where to move, and also a key factor in why they stay.

-Tourism and Infrastructure: Recreational tourists prioritize trail networks easily accessible from a city center, often without needing a car. Financially wealthy, recreational tourists can typically afford to spend more,

pany in 1920, which later became the Scripps-Howard newspaper and broadcasting chain.

and for longer, directly supporting local eateries, hotels, and businesses.

The Wild Coast Trail Association has demonstrated a commitment to sustainable trail design and building positive relationships with land managers to ensure the long-term future of our natural spaces. I fully support their efforts to enhance our local landscape and provide a valuable asset for all trail users.

I strongly support the development of this in-town trail system on the Pony Creek Watershed.

It’s been 138 years since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle penned the first Sherlock Holmes story and adaptations of his classic characters are too

to count. Most of those adaptations take Sherlock seriously – but Tony award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig’s comedy – which opens on North Bend’s Liberty Theatre stage this January – most certainly does not. Instead, this take on Sherlock Holmes, directed by Jeremy Conway and Talis Slatcik, could definitely be called zany.

Oh, there are still the familiar story lines (this play mashes up several familiar Sherlock tales), and we still have the legendary characters of Sherlock (played by Levi Goodman), Watson (Ansel Tauber), and, of course, the evil mastermind Moriarty (Johnny Crawford), but this, Slatick says, laughing, is a “ridiculous stage-play that’s fun for the whole family. Think of the play Clue, or maybe Noises Off- but with too many quick changes to count and an over-the-top melodramatic antagonist.” Much of the comedy, he says, comes from the contrast of the legendary characters being in ridiculous situations. Conway adds, “The the action moves so quickly that by time we think we know what is going on, another twist is there, keeping us guessing.”

The plot is familiar enough: Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are at it again – this time inves-

Holmes and Watson, in an effort to preserve world peace, team up with an American actress, taking down Holmes’ nemesis, Professor Moriarty, and his network of evil criminals. Yes, Holmes’ keen deductions still drive the plot, but there are almost two dozen locations in this play, and save for the actors playing Sherlock and Watson, each member of the cast (which also includes Jasmine Azure and Ariel Hicks) plays three to 12 different characters –some bringing near nonestop changes in persona and costumes, sometimes all in one scene.

Myrtle Point bounced back from

The Southwestern Oregon Community College men’s basketball team won two of its three games during the week, including a wild afternoon holiday victory over Chemeketa that included an incredible comeback that led to two tense overtimes. The Lakers outlasted the Storm 93-87.

Later in the week, SWOCC lost at Umpqua ? and beat Clackamas ?

The Martin Luther King Day win over Chemeketa looked doubtful with the Storm up 67-57 and less than two minutes showing on the clock. But Brighton Palmer was fouled after an offensive rebound and made both free throws to start the comeback. Then Quinton Christman had a steal and a layup while being fouled that led to a three-point play.

The Bobcats were ninth in this week’s coaches poll and are tied for second in the league standings with Oakland, which almost beat Bandon when the Tigers visited earlier this month.

Myrtle Point also has a nonleague game at home Saturday against North Douglas, traditionally one of the better Class 1A teams.

Reedsport, which lost at Gold Beach 55-23 last week, will try for its first league win when it visits Illinois Valley on Tuesday. The Brave also are at Oakland on Friday.

Then Palmer blocked a shot then got a rebound on another miss and Jett Lundberg fed Connor Wilson for a layin to cut the deficit to three points. Wilson had another layup off a feed from Lundberg following a steal by MJ Tia as part of another threepoint play and the Lakers had tied the score with 10 points in just 50 seconds.

After a Chemeketa miss, Palmer made a 3-pointer to give the Lakers a 70-67 lead but Chemeketa’s Gavin Aguilar hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime.

The overtime sessions didn’t have the drama of the final minutes of regulation, but the Lakers eventually pulled away in the second OT after Tia gave the Lakers the lead for good with a 3-pointer. Wilson finished with 30 points

and 11 rebounds and Palmer had 15 points and 10 rebounds. Kaison Hermann had 11 points off the bench and Tia and Lundberg both had nine points with Lundberg also posting nine rebounds and eight assists. Aguilar had 29 points for Chemeketa.

On Wednesday, the Lakers lost to Umpqua 85-74, unable to rally from a 47-30 halftime deficit. Wilson had 19 points, Asher Vanderburg 16 and Jeriah Macias 12. Mikey Lloyd had 23 points for Umpqua.

On Saturday, the Lakers topped Clackamas 90-84, outscoring the Cougars 44-34 in the second half. Wilson had 30 points, Palmer 20 and Tia 18 in that win. Palmer also had 13 rebounds. Connor Oertel had 25 points

for Clackamas. The week’s results left the Lakers 5-2 nearing the midpoint of the NWAC South Region season. Clark is 7-1 and Umpqua 6-1 and Lane, the other team to beat the Lakers, is 4-3. This week, SWOCC finishes the first round of league play with a home game against Linn-Benton on Wednesday and then has a crucial trip to play Clark on a neutral court in Portland.

WOMEN

SWOCC’s women lost all three games during the week, all to squads in the top four of the South Region standings. Chemeketa topped the Lakers 68-56, pulling away by outscor-

ing SWOCC 16-6 in the fourth quarter.

Morgan Cole-Hand had 14 points, Kaydence Apkaw 13 and Gwyn Button 10 for the Lakers. Umpqua beat SWOCC 71-51. Bree Turner had 14 points and Apkaw 11 in the loss. Rebekah Beltran had 24 for the Riverhawks.

Top-ranked Clackamas jumped out to a huge lead Saturday with seven 3-pointers and 39 points in the first quarter on the way to a 106-37 win. Turner had 14 points and Aniah Harris eight for the Lakers.

Mollie Miller had nine of the 17 3-pointers by the Cougars and scored a game-high 31 points. Clackamas is as perfect 7-0 in league play and Umpqua and Lane both are 6-1. Chemeketa is 5-2 while the Lakers are 1-6 heading into this week’s contests.

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.

Oregon Main Street recognizes

Oregon Main Street (OMS) has advanced Downtown Medford Association, North Bend Main Street, Port Orford Main Street, and Reedsport Main Street to the Designated Main Street level of the OMS Network.

The Designated Main Street level is a mark of distinction that reflects a demonstrated effort to develop an impactful and sustainable organization focused on improving a community’s historic downtown by leveraging partnerships and engaging community members. Communities at this level have access to technical assistance to help them continue to strengthen their efforts and impact.

All four of these communities have a high degree of commitment to using the nationally recognized placebased Main Street Approach™ methodology to create lasting impact in enhancing their historic downtowns. They must have a cohesive core of historic or older commercial and mixed-use buildings that represent the community’s architectural heritage and may include

compatible in-fill. They must also have a sufficient mass of businesses, buildings, and density to be effective, as well as be a compact and walkable district.

“The City of Reedsport and the Reedsport Main Street Program Board of Directors would like to express our gratitude to Sheri Stuart, OMS Coordinator, and the Oregon Main Street Program for their leadership and support in helping us achieve this milestone”, stated Deanna Schafer, Reedsport City Manager.

“We are incredibly excited to step into this new designation”, said Rosa Solano, Reedsport Main Street Program Director. “Since formally joining Oregon Main Street in 2014, our community has been the driving force behind our success – from dedicated local businesses and volunteers to property owners and neighbors who invested their time and passion in Reedsport. This milestone reflects our collective commitment, and we look forward to continuing to work together to strengthen our community and celebrate the vibrancy of our historic downtown.”

Previously, these organizations have been participating in the OMS Network at the Affiliated Main Street level where they benefited from technical assistance from OMS staff to help support their organization’s development.

Currently, there are over 100 communities in Oregon participating in the Oregon Main Street Network which includes the following tiers: Accredited Main Street, Designated Main Street, Affiliated Main Street, Rural Regional Main Street, and Connected Communities. There isn’t a fee to participate in the Oregon Main Street Network.

Oregon Main Street is part of Oregon Heritage in Oregon Parks and Recreation Department. For more information on the Oregon Main Street program visit www. oregonmainstreet.org.

Oregon Fish and Wildlife seeks feedback on Dungeness Crab Fishery rule update

On December 11th, 2025, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission (OFWC) received a formal petition (available here) from several conservation groups to adopt new measures and amend existing rules in the Oregon commercial Dungeness crab fishery to reduce the risk of marine life entanglements.

The petition’s stated purpose is “to strengthen Oregon’s current entanglement risk reduction measures, create a pathway for authorization of safer pop-up fishing gear, and establish a process for timely public reporting of marine mammal or sea turtle entanglements in Oregon commercial Dungeness crab fishing gear.” Key requests include:

• Establishing a process for pop-up gear authorization,

• Adjusting late-season measures to include a 40% pot limit reduction and 30 fathom depth restriction (exempting pop-up gear), effective April 1 each

season through 2028,

• Prohibiting conventional (non-pop-up) gear after April 1 each season starting in 2028,

• Requiring ODFW to provide public notice of any marine mammal or sea turtle entanglement in Oregon or in gear originating from Oregon within 48 hours of receiving a report, and

• Requiring emergency procedures be taken, including zonal or statewide closures to conventional gear, in response to confirmed entanglements of ESA-listed animals in Oregon crab gear (or unknown gear that may be Oregon crab gear).

By statute, the OFWC must either initiate rulemaking or issue a written denial within 90 days of the petition being received (by March 11, 2026). The agency is in the process of reviewing the petition as required by statute. ODFW will provide an assessment and recommendation to the OFWC at their meeting on

February 20, 2026. We invite the public to comment on the petition’s proposed new rules and

rule amendments, and specifically on whether options exist for achieving the substantive goals

of

nesses.

A Look at the Numbers: Port of Coos Bay

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

At the most recent meeting of the Port of Coos Bay Board of Commissioners there was a presentation on the past fiscal year’s financial report, giving the board and community a glimpse into the financial health of the Port. The presentation was given by Amanda Moore with Moss Adams & Baker Tilly, a contracted auditor, accounting, and wealth management consultant.

Moore started by describing the wide breadth of financial information that the firm reviews over their purview of services, which includes auditing the financial statements and grant programs, doing compliance testing, and providing a full report of the results and any areas on noncompliance. This is done by checking the numbers on the Port’s cash and investments, revenues and receivables, leases, assets, debts and more.

In an overall summary of the various audits, Moore pointed out that in terms of the Port’s major compliance reports

there were no found instances of noncompliance. There were once again some budgetary over-expenditures according to their Oregon Minimum Standards.

“Similar to prior years, there were some budgetary over-expenditures. These are where expenditures exceeded appropriations in a couple categories,” explained Moore. “In Oregon, you do have to report it, even if you over-expend by $1. So that is an area that has improved over time, but there were still a few expenditures to disclose.”

Looking at the general fund’s financial reports for the period from July to November 2025, as provided in the meeting materials, the Port had budgeted to receive $1,669,964 in operating income, but exceeded that expectation by just shy of $90,000 representing a 5% boost over their expected numbers. For expenses, the port expected to spend $2,328,833 in their budget, but only ended up expending $1,945,779, for a difference of over $383,054.

These numbers indicate that the Port overestimated their expenditures and un-

derestimated their income for this 6-month period, which seems to be better than the alternative. However, that still means the Port operated at a loss across their different properties and operations. Over the aforementioned period, that loss was $185,864 dollars, which was a much less concerning figure than the $658,869 loss they had budgeted for, indicating financial over-performance, just not enough to get them back into the black operationally.

Most of this loss is made up of administrative expenditures, with other areas of operation exceeding their budgeted expectations. One particularly area of over-performance was Port operations in Charleston, which were expected to be

around a $140,000 loss on the books and ended up $260,000 in the black. When you add on the total ‘other income’, consisting mainly of $1,983,362 in collected tax revenue, and factor in ‘other expenses’ (mainly debt servicing costs), the Port brought in a net of $1,083,274 over this 6-month period. This is a 457% increase on the $194,559 they had expected. This indicates that if the Port is able to continue to keep their operating costs under budget through the end of FY2025-2026, it should be a positive year financially. Through November 2025, they are already topping last year’s figures by $350,000.

As I See It

According to an item in the May 22, 1914, Bandon Recorder, the First National Bank (first photo) was to move into its new building, Monday, May 25th. This was only a few weeks before the first Bandon fire, June 11, 1914, but fortunately the building was a block south of the fire. Today it is the home of The Cobbler’s Bench and Spirit of Oregon, and belongs to the Masonic Lodge.

An item in the same issue of the paper, but in the city council story, indicated that “the building occupied by the L.N. E. restaurant was ordered re-shingled and the flue extended.” This was the restaurant where the fire started, which ended up burning a block of business houses. In the same meeting, the council appropriated $25 out of the general fund for the purpose of fixing the streets.

“Prized by Bandon People” was the headline on a 1924 issue of Western World, which talked about the Hartman theatre (second photo).

“The Hartman theatre at Bandon which was completed during the past year is one of the handsome moving picture houses of the state and is a credit to both the community and the owner. It is very attractive and is equipped with everything modern that can be secured to give service to patrons and is arranged to handle any sized road show as well as motion pictures. The theatre is the property of Mrs. E.A. Hartman and occupies a lot 32 feet wide by 125 feet deep. It has a double lobby, a foyer, main auditorium and balcony and has a seating capacity of 721, with 24 velour upholstered loge seats in addition.

“Construction is of re-inforced concrete, made as fire-proof as possible, with asbestos roof and wiring in conduit.”

Twelve years later, many in the community were at a movie in the Hartman on Saturday night, Sept. 26, 1936, when Fire Chief Curly Woomer stopped the show to urge all able bodied men to help fight the

fire, which was headed to town from the east. By the next morning, the theater and most of the businesses and homes were gone. The First National Bank was among the few structures that survived the fire.

A headline in the Sept. 22, 1949, Western World told the story of one of Bandon’s tourist attractions.

“Cranberry picking at Kranick’s Ocean Spray cranberry marsh, ten miles south of Bandon on highway 101, has proven quite a tourist attraction the past two weeks while pickers (third photo) have been on the field.

“Several tourists have taken colored moving pictures of the pickers in action and hundreds of still pictures have been taken. Picking cranberries began there on Sept. 8 with a limited number of hand pickers, but by Saturday the picking crew numbered 51. This marsh is four years old and this is the second year for picking. The yield of 1200 boxes is much better than expected since much of the area has been replanted the last two years.

* * Information from the scanner Sunday morning reported that an older woman had fallen down about five flight of stairs at Coquille Point, and was said to be unconscious and bleeding from the head. A later post said the woman was taken by ambulance to Bay Area Hospital where she was treated and released about 3 p.m. to her home. The report said she suffered no broken bones.

* * * I was sorry to learn that long-time Bandon resident Bob Dahl had died Wednesday at the age of 75. A friend said his lung cancer had returned and he was having problems breathing. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital that morning, but he died that day. His late parents, Mel and Aili Dahl, had operated Lloyd’s Cafe for many years, and after Mel’s death, Bobby took over the business. Among his survi-

On Wednesday, Jan. 14, around noon, Oregon State Police received information regarding a possible sighting of Marcquis Lee White, 33, who was wanted in connection with an assault that occurred Monday, Jan. 12, in Springfield. It reportedly resulted in a high speed chase which ended with the car crashing on Seven Devils Road.

Bandon Police Chief Cory Dhillon was first to arrive at the location, near milepost 7, and identified where White had fled down a steep embankment into the brush after wrecking his car, which contained his three children.

According to the OSP press release, Dhillon was able to direct responding personnel from OSP, Bandon Police Department, Coos County Sheriff’s Office, and the OSP SWAT team, to White’s last known location. SWAT personnel were able to locate White and take him into custody without incident. White was transported to a medical facility for evaluation and was to be transferred to the custody of the Springfield Police Department and ultimately lodged in the Lane County Jail for crimes associated with Monday’s assault. During the two-day search, people in that area were advised to remain inside their homes. At the time, he was described as an African American male last seen wearing a blue Nike jumpsuit.

OSP thanked their law enforcement partners and the U.S. Coast Guard for their “dedication and persistence over the last 60 hours that led to the successful apprehension of White.”

* * * Tuesday evening, around 8:30, the Sheriff’s office was investigating a shooting near West Beaver Hill, which was said to be unrelated to the search for Marcquis White, who at that time remained at large. Details about that shooting are pending but it appears to have occurred at a residence on West Beaver Hill and Hemlock where a victim was said to have suffered a gunshot wound to the chest.

The Bandon Police posted recent arrests on

Facebook Jan. 15.

Bandon Police assisted ATF and the Sheriff’s office in executing a federal warrant for Matthew Houglum, 52, for possession with intent to distribute psilocybin mushrooms. Jesse Sweet, 44, was arrested for violation of a restraining order and probation violation. Grant Morrison, 29, was charged with fourth-degree assault, domestic, menacing and strangulation. Gabriel Iida, 33, was charged with second degree criminal trespass.

* * * A second member of the Bandon School Board, who was elected in the last election, has resigned. I learned that Claudia Dobney Powers resigned from the board this week. Jon Sullivan had resigned the previous week. I understand that letters from those interested in serving on the board can be submitted to the district office until Feb. 4, with the seats to be filled Feb. 9.

On Thursday, Jan. 15, a 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the Oregon coast, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake was recorded at 7:25 p.m. with an epicenter about 186 miles west of Bandon, well offshore. The earthquake occurred at a depth of roughly 7 kilometers, making it relatively shallow by seismic standards. There was no immediate reports of damage or injuries and shaking was not widely felt along the Oregon coast due to its distance from shore, according to the press release. Officials said there was no tsunami warning or advisory issued.

* * *

On Jan. 14, shortly before 8 a.m. a report came in that Coquille Ambulance and Bandon fire were at the scene of an overturned vehicle on Highway 42S, milepost 8. The female driver was out of the vehicle and had lacerations on her leg. Tapped out Myrtle Point to handle. Coquille Fire was also on scene and reported that the vehicle was on its top and one lane was completely blocked. Personnel believed the driver may be intoxicated. Oregon State Police responded and handled the driver. She refused all tests. Transported her to the Coos County Jail.

* * * A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, Jan. 25, at 2 p.m. at the Port Orford Dock for a well-known Port Orford man, Aaron Longton, 64, who died Jan. 12 in a single-vehicle wreck on Highway 58 in Lane County. Following the dockside event, the group will gather at Mr. Ed’s in Port Orford. Long involved in the fishing industry, he was described as “a true Port Orford icon.”

Joyce Farr

March 13, 1923 – January 13, 2026

Joyce was born in 1923 and lived in Portland until she attended the University of Oregon, where she met Len Farr. They married in 1943 before Len was sent overseas for service in WWII and Joyce moved to Marshfield which became Coos Bay in 1944. Their first daughter, Susan, was born while Len was stationed with the Army Medical Corps in Europe. Len joined them after his war service and their family grew to include daughters Nancy and Janet, and son Jay. Although they lived in Coos Bay from then on, after Len’s retirement from Farr’s Hardware, they traveled and worked as volunteers all over the world on 43 different projects including

polio vaccination in Africa, latrine and stove building in India, and establishing a cottage industry of weaving in Portugal. That was one of their last projects and was based on Joyce’s passion and skills. Len and Joyce were not only lifelong Oregonians; they considered themselves to be citizens of the world.

Joyce referred to herself as a “fiberholic.” She sewed all of her daughters’ clothes and coats until they also learned to sew. She had a variety of looms and spinning wheels and also dyed the yarns she spun. She was fond of announcing, “I’m going downstairs to dye.”

In addition to their four children, they shared their home and family life with

Concepcion “Alan” Manis

October 11, 1972 – January 15, 2026

three American Field Service high school exchange students—Ute from Germany, Alex from Chile, and Susanne from Denmark—and Jay’s friend Ted during their senior year at Marshfield High. With an empty nest, Joyce opened a weaving and knitting store in Bandon with two other partners. Len said Joyce was the original hippie, but perhaps feminist was the better moniker. A woman once came into Westerly Webs and introduced herself as “Mrs. her husband’s name.” Joyce replied, “Don’t you have a name of your own?”

Joyce was generous and open-minded. She was a lifelong universal blood donor to Red Cross. On

election nights, she worked as a volunteer well into the night tallying votes. Once Joyce was introduced to a new concept or skills, she was determined to learn everything and brought her perfectionism to each task. She learned to swim in the Bay Area and became a Red Cross swimming instructor. Both Len and Joyce were private pilots and owned a plane with Len’s brother. When Ute brought yoga into the home, Joyce picked it up and practiced it for years after. Later in life, she walked over two and a half miles every day up and down the hills of Coos Bay. After Len died, she chose to live at Evergreen Court where she could

overlook the Bay. For the last 3 years of her life, she was lovingly cared for by her children and wonderful caregivers at Amazing Grace Adult Care Home in North Bend. She is survived by her sister, Sara Mae Wiedmaier in Beaverton; her children and their spouses, Susan (Otto Wassenaar in Groningen, The Netherlands), Nancy (Dale Sekijima in Winthrop, WA), Jay (Vicki Crumpacker, in Coos Bay), and Janet (Rodney Eiger, in Chicago, IL); five grandchildren and their families, Maaike, Eelco and Doeke Wassenaar (in The Netherlands), Will Farr (in Stony Brook, NY), and Lillie Eiger (in London, England); six great-grandchildren;

He worked at Automotive Electric for 28 years and later completed his working career at Knife River/Bracelin-Yeager,

where he worked for several more years before retiring.

Emery was a familiar and respected presence in local sports for nearly six decades. He dedicated 59 years to officiating basketball and football and also served as a commissioner, giving countless hours to the athletes and programs he cared so deeply about.

A lifelong sports fan, Emery especially loved the Oregon Ducks, enjoyed a good round of golf, and never missed a chance to watch a game.

Family meant everything to Emery. He found his greatest joy cheering on his grandchildren at their sporting events and spending time with those he loved. In his final three years, Emery was especially happy living on the farm with his partner, Cindy Johnson—a season of life

405 Elrod Ave, Coos Bay OR, 97420 541267-4216

that brought him peace and happiness.

Oregon Cracking Down on Abandoned Boats

From

Abandoned boats continue to harm Oregon’s rivers and coastlines.

From huge vessels like the 100-foot Dredge Herb Anderson, removed from the Columbia River last year, to smaller recreational craft, these derelict boats leak harmful toxins, drift dangerously into navigational channels, and degrade water quality.

Oregon Department of State Lands has been leading the charge on this issue since launching the statewide Abandoned and Derelict Vessel (ADV) Program in Sept 2024.

“We can’t continue polluting our Oregon waterways or risking a large marine accident,” said Kaitlin Lovell, recently appointed Director at Oregon Department of State Lands, “The scope of this issue has motivated bipartisan legislators and community members along impacted waterways to come together for solutions.”

After a successful push during the state’s 2025 legislative session, two significant changes to state law came into effect on September 26, 2025.

• Streamlined Disposal: Allows the state to classify severely degraded ADVs as marine debris, opening a more efficient and cost-effective route for disposal.

• Reduced Administrative Burden: Allows authorized entities throughout the state to remove ADVs from the waterway without a time- and resource-intensive process, reducing delays and red tape.

“The legislative wins for this program might sound like words on a page, but these are the systematic changes we need to get these dilapidated vessels out of our waters,” said Democratic State Representative David Gomberg from Oregon District 10. In agreement was Republican State Senator Legislator Dick Anderson from Lincoln City, “This issue requires all of us to stay vigilant for ways to be more effective, and removing red tape is a good place to start.”

In addition to legislative progress, Oregon’s statewide ADV Program secured a $1,000,000 grant from the BoatUS Foundation, with support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Marine Debris Program. The dollars awarded to Oregon will support the removal and disposal of dozens of high-priority boats in counties throughout Oregon.

“Some of the really large vessels can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars when there is

toxic material,” said Aaron Bretz, Deputy Director of the Port of Newport, “so obviously significant funding is required, but there’s also a lot of coordination with the Coast Guard, sheriff’s offices, environmental regulators, and companies equipped to perform the complex dismantling work.”

Coordination of involved parties was top-ofmind for Oregon Department of State Lands when updating the statewide ADV Program website to include new procedures for ADVs based on the changes in state law.

A remaining challenge for the nascent program is stemming the flow of ADVs into Oregon waterways.

“We pursue penalties against owners who fail to resolve their problems and leave DSL to address the hazards they’ve created,” said Josh Mulhollem, the Department’s Waterways Stewardship Program Manager. “But many of the biggest, most expensive cleanups are ships that have already drained the owner’s assets. Many people just don’t understand that bidding on a cheap ship at auction can lead to financial ruin.”

Despite the challenges that remain, momentum is building. With new tools, funding, and partnerships in place, Oregon’s ADV Program is chartering a clearer course toward cleaner, safer, waterways.
