North Bend swing span bridge goes up in flames
BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor
The North Bend Swing Span Bridge caught fire on the morning of August 15 drawing a response from multiple local agencies. According to the North Bend Fire Department (NBFD), their Marine Unit was deployed in mutual aid to fight the flames after the North Bay Fire District received reports of smoke coming from the bridge’s control house at around 9:50 a.m.
Thanks to cooperation from the Lakeside Fire Department who provided a fire boat, alongside Billiter Marine who provided a tugboat, the fire was extinguished officially by 11:18 a.m. The bridge remains open and the fire is not expected to affect marine travel moving forward. Rail traffic howev-
er, is a much longer and more complicated story. The bridge has been maintained by the Port of Coos Bay since they acquired the Coos Bay Rail Line (CBRL) back in 2010. It has been out of service since July, after on and off operation since it was first shut down in 2007 while still operated by Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad. This most recent closure is due to a vessel damaging its electrical power systems and its inoperable signal systems. These are crucial systems for the operation of the bridge designed to allow both rail and ship travel through the bay.

North Bend recognized as TsunamiReady through 2031
From the City of North Bend
The City of North Bend has once again been recognized as a TsunamiReady community by the National Weather Service (NWS), a distinction that underscores the city’s ongoing commitment to public safety and disaster preparedness. The renewal, which is valid through January 2031, confirms that North Bend continues to meet all of the program’s rigorous requirements.
What is TsunamiReady?
The TsunamiReady program, administered by the NWS, is a nationwide initiative designed to help coastal communities strengthen their ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from tsunamis. To earn and maintain the designation, cities must meet strict standards in five key areas:
• Communication systems that ensure timely warnings reach residents and visitors, including emergency alerts and multiple notification methods.
• Preparedness education such as community drills, school presentations, and public information campaigns.
• Emergency planning with clearly established evacuation routes, shelter locations, and coordination among first responders.
• Training for local officials and emergency managers, including tabletop exercises and scenariobased planning.
• Public outreach to ensure residents and businesses know how to react in the event of a tsunami.
Training and education in North Bend
To maintain TsunamiReady status, North Bend’s Fire Department and Emergency Management team regularly participate in training exercises with regional partners. These include simulated tsunami response drills, coordination with neighboring cities and the county, and ongoing education for schools, businesses, and civic organizations. Residents may also recognize the city’s efforts through annual preparedness events, posted evacuation route signs, and informational materials distributed throughout the community.
Fire Chief Jim Brown, who also serves as Co-Emergency Manager with City Administrator David Milliron, emphasized the importance of this recognition: “Being TsunamiReady is about more than just meeting requirements on paper. It means our city has the plans, the communication tools, and the community awareness necessary to respond quickly and effectively if a tsunami strikes. This designation gives residents and visitors peace of mind that North Bend is ready.”
What it means for residents
For the people of North Bend, the TsunamiReady designation is a reassurance that their city is actively

investing in safety and resilience. It means that families have access to evacuation maps and drills, that schools are teaching students how to respond, and that local officials are trained and equipped to manage a disaster.
Bradley Schaaf, Acting Meteorologist in Charge at the NWS Medford Office, praised North Bend’s efforts in the official letter of recognition:
“North Bend continues to do an outstanding job of promoting tsunami preparation, awareness, and resilience in the community. We value our ongoing relationship with the City of North Bend and look forward to assisting in your efforts to promote tsunami awareness.”
A safer, more resilient future
With its TsunamiReady status secured through 2031, North Bend plans to build on this achievement by expanding community outreach, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that preparedness remains a citywide priority. For more information on tsunami preparedness, including evacuation routes and safety tips, residents are encouraged to visit the City of North Bend’s website (northbendoregon.us) or contact the Fire Department at (541) 756-7757.
Tsunami evacuation maps are also available for free at North Bend Fire & Rescue Station No. 1, 1880 McPherson Street.

North Bend man sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for attempting to sexually exploit a minor
STAFF REPORT
A North Bend man was sentenced to federal prison today for sexually exploiting an Oregon child using the social media application Facebook Messenger. Chistopher Jay Young, 40, was sentenced to 180 months in federal prison and 15 years’ supervised release. According to court documents, on January 20, 2024, Young, using Facebook Messenger, persuaded a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct, record the conduct, and send it to him.
Between April 4 and 8, 2024, the FBI applied for and obtained multiple federal search warrants for Young’s person, home and vehicles. On April 11, 2024, special agents and deputies from the FBI, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Homeland Security Investigations, the Oregon State Police, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, and the Lane County Sheriff’s Office executed the warrants and arrested Young. His devices were seized in the arrest.
During a search of Young’s devices, investigators learned that Young used the minor’s social media account to communicate and request the child sexual abuse material and that Young had the minor’s Facebook login credentials saved in his phone.
On April 16, 2024, a federal grand jury in Eugene returned a two-count indictment charging Young with attempting to use a minor to produce a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct and attempting to coerce or entice a minor to engage in unlawful sexual conduct.
On May 6, 2025, Young pleaded guilty to attempting to use a minor to produce a visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct.

From the moment he learned to walk, Jules was a daredevil, always pulling off feats of derring-do. He came by it naturally. His father was a gymnastics instructor who also operated a swimming pool in the French city of Toulouse.
That early exposure to athletics ignited a passion in the boy that stayed with him all his life.
Jules especially loved showing off for others. A born entertainer, he eventually took his acrobatic skills to a whole new level. Literally. He arranged bars, ropes and rings overhead and gracefully swung and twisted his way from one to the next. (He performed those feats above Papa’s pool, just in case something went wrong.)
People were impressed with the
Port Project
Dear Coos Bay and North Bend residents,
I’ll get right to the point.
The proposed massive shipping port and shipping by railroad sounded like a great new way to improve Coos Bay economics.
Then I thought more about it, I lived in Los Angeles. Long Beach in Los Angeles has a massive shipping port. It dominates Long Beach, ugly, and massive.
We lived near San Francisco, and Oakland California has a massive shipping port it dominates a good part of that area; it is ugly and massive.
Coos Bay, North Bend combined has a population of about 24,000. This massive shipping port with a railroad system would devastate the area. The damage created would be incalculable.
The residents need to read the letter posted in the World News to be better informed about this huge transformation of our coastline. At first, it sounded like good news we could prosper with this shipping port.
Coos Bay has an absolutely gorgeous coastline and it is known for the dunes adventures. In my view, all we need to do is improve our downtown atmosphere. Update downtown. The tourism would improve and Coos Bay would flourish.
The Bay Area hospital should be our first concern! It requires federal funding, or local funding. Whatever it takes to get this hospital financially solvent.
We moved here because it was Affordable.
We moved here because we wanted to enjoy the coastal beauty, the beautiful ocean.
If this massive shipping port is approved, we plan to move out of this area. In our opinion, this is the worst thing that can happen to Coos Bay and North Bend.
We implore all residents to email and make phone calls to representative Hoyle and Oregon Governor to make our concerns heard.
We strongly oppose this massive shipping port and railroad operation.

boy’s agility and ability. However, his father had a different career in mind for his child. Sons didn’t argue with daddy’s dictates in mid-19th-century France, so Jules trudged off to law school.
He did well in his studies and passed his legal exams. But acrobatics held claim on his heart. He joined the famed Cirque Napoleon, named in honor of Emperor Napoleon III, who reigned at the time. It was an early forerunner of later extravaganzas like the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, “The Greatest Show on Earth.”
Jules quickly became a star attraction. He developed an act that both terrified and delighted the audience. It was a trapeze routine performed with three bars, which he debuted on Nov. 12, 1859. In that time before air travel was possible, he glided naturally and effortlessly high above spectators’ heads.
He even developed a special one-piece suit to wear for his performances. It was tightfitting, streamlined to allow easy movement while also highlighting
to mention the air pollution. I do not believe we are in need of this port as the tariffs cause shipping to the U.S. to be slowed down. Existing ports are more than capable of handling it. I would like the news media to investigate the questions he raises in his letter and publish the answers.
Once the bay is dredged, the damage to the ecosystem will be done and even if the rest of the plan is scrapped, we will never go back to what it was.

his toned, muscled physique. (More on that outfit in a moment.)
In 1862, now age 24, he married actress Silvia Bernini after having known each other for only six months. Things quickly soured. Two years later, he informed his wife by telegraph that he wanted a divorce. She rushed to him in Paris. The reunion resulted in ever more fighting. Silvia melodramatically cut off her hair and mailed it to Jules, then tried to drown herself in the Seine River. The suicide attempt and marriage failed.
Jules took his act across the English Channel. He wowed London audiences at the West End’s fashionable Alhambra Music Hall in Leicester Square.
You would think the promotion of his performances would play up his routine’s stress, difficulty and high-risk aspects. But it didn’t. Circus ringmasters in later years would proclaim the “deathdefying” nature of acrobats’ abilities. Instead, advertising for Jules’ routine always emphasized the “ease and grace” of his trapeze work.
Letters to the Editor
homelessness, crime, child abuse, unaffordable housing, deteriorating infrastructure, a lack of opportunity for our young people. We are excellent at identifying our core problems. What we seem far less willingor able - to do is solve them.
We post. We debate. We talk. And then… we leave things mostly as they are.
The evidence is right in front of us: if talking could fix our town, we’d be thriving by now.
As Einstein reportedly said, “insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results.”
By that definition, we are well on our way.
What makes this especially frustrating is that at the local level, we are not powerless.
In fact, this is where citizens can have the greatest influence.
Municipal decisions - zoning policies, business permitting, school funding, policing strategies, infrastructure
That caught the attention of British lyricist and singer George Leybourne, who was looking to capitalize on the trapeze craze’s popularity. Together with composter Gaston Lyle, they published the following song in 1867 as a tribute to Jules: “He’d fly through the air, with the greatest of ease; That daring young man, on the flying trapeze.”
The song was an instant smash hit, and the fact that we still know it 158 years later speaks much about its durability.
As you might guess, Jules didn’t live to a ripe old age. However, he didn’t die as a result of a dreadful fall, either. He passed away due to illness (most likely smallpox) at age 32 in 1870.
Though his life was short, his legacy lives on through the many acrobatic artists who still enthrall and delight us. And through his clothes, too. That tight one-piece outfit he created over a century and a half ago remains a big seller today.

Budgets pass with minimal scrutiny. Elections are won with dismal turnout. Meanwhile, social media roars with opinions about far off issues over which we have almost no control.

that awareness is action. Nor can we continue congratulating ourselves merely for diagnosing problems we have no willingness to treat.
Change does not require a miracle, nor does it bloom from endless conversation.
It grows from engagement, persistence, and a collective decision to do something differently this time, on purpose.
We know what is broken - from broken infrastructure to broken systems that fail to protect our children.
The only remaining question is whether we will finally move beyond discussion and into the work of fixing it.

SUDOKU PUZZLE
Repairs for the bridge are complicated, as it is well over 100 years old and registered as a historical structure. This restricts the kinds of modernization that the Port is allowed to conduct, and they have sighted a lack of funds as the main reason for the recent shutdown after a reported $25 million being invested in the bridge since the Port’s acquisition.
Despite that investment, alongside the hiring of a full-time bridge inspector, the bridge has no timeline for re-opening. According to the Port, they are heavily reliant on state and federal funding to afford further repairs for the bridge.
“The CBRL is a non-profit railroad, as such its main funding source for major infrastructure repairs is state and federal grants or appropriations. The revenue generated from its carload operations is enough to sustain operations, but not fund major infrastructure investments. The Port and CBRL are continuing to work with its state and federal partners on funding opportunities for the bridge,” states the Port’s official website.
The bridge is estimated to carry $460 million in freight per year, with nearly 90% of that freight tied to the local timber industry. In 2024, the CBRL moved 5,302 carload over the bridge for a total of ten customers.
Those following the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port project might wonder why the $29 million grant from the Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements program does not include plans for the swing span bridge. The Port has said that the bridge is not a part of the current plans for the proposed ship-to-rail port project, as it








































Rodriguez is fastest around the bay
John Gunther For the World
Eddie Rodriguez won the recent Circle the Bay road race, the signature event of the South Coast Running Club. Rodriguez toured the 30-kilometer route around the waters of Coos Bay in 1 hour, 50 minutes and 22 seconds. He was 22 minutes faster than former Marshfield standout Aaron Young, who finished in 2:12:56. Joshua Kulmac-Butler was third in 2:22:09.
First among women and fourth overall was Aunika Miller, who finished in 2:23:00, less than a minute in front of Evelyn Young (2:23:43). Sarah Groth was third among women (2:44:05).
The race started and ended in Ferry Road Park in North Bend and the course included stretches of U.S. Highway 101 through North Bend and Coos Bay, the Coos River Highway through Eastside and East Bay Drive. Runners crossed the historic McCullough Bridge before finishing in the park. Rodriguez wasn’t first across the finish line. That honor went to one of the three-person relay teams.
The Linfield University group Godo Track Club, with
Flint Martino, Alex Mangan and Manuel Finley, finished in 1:48:53. Second among the relay teams was a coed South Coast youth team Eat, Sleep, Run, Repeat with Ezra King, Ella Henthorn and Henry Stone, which finished in 1:56:24. King and Stone are Siuslaw High School students and Henthorn runs for Coquille, all entering their sophomore years. Third was 2 Has Beens and The Prodigy, with Jeremy Potter, Jordan Osborne and Raleigh Collier (2:00:09).
The event also featured nine individual walkers and one walk relay team. Lesley Garcia was first among the walkers, finishing in 4:54:01. The relay team, the Seasoned Striders, featured Niamh Charles, Rick Gearhart and Sandra Merritt and finished in 4:26:41. Circle the Bay Results

Beginning at 6 p.m., all the fall sports teams will be introduced with their coaches and participants, including the band, cheer team, cross country program, boys and girls soccer teams, volleyball team and football team.
Marshfield’s Meet the Pirates night is on Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m.
In addition to scrimmages by the sports teams, the dance and cheer teams will perform and the band will play. The members of the various teams and clubs, along with their coaches and leaders, will be introduced.
Fall sports contests start this week
John Gunther For the World
With one week of official practice under their belts, many fall sports teams from the South Coast embark on their first competitions this week. The fall season includes football, volleyball, soccer and cross country.
FOOTBALL
Only three of the South Coast squads play regular football games this week. Marshfield is in Central Point to play Crater on Friday night while North Bend is up the coast in Astoria. Powers, the defending six-player champion, hosts Alsea on Saturday.
Coquille will be in Sutherlin for a jamboree on Friday, opening the season next week
at North Valley.
Bandon, Reedsport and Myrtle Point also open the season Sept. 5, all on the road.
Bandon is at Rogue River, Reedsport visits Waldport and Myrtle Point makes a trip to Knappa.
VOLLEYBALL
A number of the South Coast teams will open the season with the annual Marshfield jamboree on Thursday.
Marshfield, the defending Class 4A champion, will follow that with Cascade Christian’s Challenger Invitational on Saturday and a meeting with Bend, Summit and Sprague at Sheldon High School in Eugene on Sept. 2.
North Bend opens the season at Cascade Friday, where the Bulldogs meet both Stayton
and Cascade.
Coquille follows Marshfield’s jamboree with a doubleheader at Creswell on Sept. 3 against the host Bulldogs and defending Class 3A champion Valley Catholic.
Myrtle Point follows Marshfield’s jamboree with a match against Glide on Sept. 2 and a trip to Powers on Sept. 4. Powers opens its season at home against Gold Beach a day earlier.
Reedsport follows Marshfield’s jamboree with matches at home against Elmira on Sept. 3 and Waldport on Sept. 4.
Bandon and Gold Beach both play Central Linn on Aug. 30 in Gold Beach. The Tigers also host Days Creek on Sept. 2.
Pacific opens the season at
home against Gold Beach on Sept. 2.
BOYS SOCCER
Marshfield opens with a jamboree at North Bend on Thursday and then hosts the combined Coquille-Myrtle Point squad on Sept. 3.
After the jamboree, North Bend will host Creswell on Sept. 3.
The DevilCats and the combined Pacific-Bandon squad both will be part of the Les Schwab Jamboree in Springfield on Friday. The Pirates, a coed squad, also visit Brookings-Harbor on Sept. 2.
GIRLS SOCCER
Like the boys, Marshfield’s girls follow the Thursday Jamboree, this one at Marshfield, with a home match against the Coquille-Myrtle Point club
on Sept. 3. The Pirates host Brookings-Harbor the next night.
North Bend’s girls follow the jamboree with a home match against Elmira on Sept. 2.
The Coquille-Myrtle Point girls join their boys in the jamboree at Springfield on Thursday.
CROSS COUNTRY
Most of the South Coast teams will open the season on Friday at the Millicoma Marsh Trails near Millicoma Middle School in Coos Bay. Bandon, Coquille, Myrtle Point, North Bend and Reedsport all are scheduled to join host Marshfield.
North Bend also will send some runners to a big meet at Western Oregon University the same day.
Class 2A and 1A state volleyball tournaments move to La Grande
AuStIn WhIte
OSAAtoday
This fall, the Class 2A and 1A OSAA state girls volleyball tournaments will be moving out east to be hosted by La Grande High School and Eastern Oregon University on Nov. 7-8, moving from Ridgeview High School in Redmond which has hosted the two events since 2012.
The move comes one year after the Class 4A and 3A tournaments came to the Bay Area, jointly hosted by Marshfield and North Bend High Schools. Marshfield and North Bend are hosting those tournaments this year as well. Area schools in Class 2A include Reedsport, Bandon, Myrtle Point and Gold Beach. Powers and Pacific both are in Class 1A. La Grande School District Superintendent George Mendoza helped facilitate the move and believes bringing the state tournaments out east is the next step in the plan for athletics in the area.
La Grande High School
remodeled its gym in 2018 and has capacity for 1,200 spectators with the option of running two matches at once on the floor.
Along with those renovations, Center Elementary next door to the high school has a high school-sized gym, and about a block away is La Grande Middle School which has its gym.
The facilities don’t end there though as the district opened the Wildcat Center next door to the middle school last year, a building that has three more gyms inside. And of course EOU has two courts that will be available for athletes as well.
All of those resources allow for teams to have plenty of space to warm up or practice as they get ready for the state competition.
“When you think of Eastern Oregon, we have elite athletic facilities,” Mendoza said. “We have athletic facilities that are at a high caliber relative to a lot of communities our size. We’re at a gold standard.”
The 2A and 1A athletes won’t have to share the same
floor anymore as the plan is for EOU to host the 2A tournament while the 1A volleyballers will be competing inside La Grande High.
The deal is locked in for the fall of 2026 as well where the two sites will flip host duties with EOU hosting 1A and La Grande High hosting 2A.
Before the Bay Area schools took on the 3A and 4A tournaments last fall, all the state tournaments were at shared sites, with all matches before the championship matches played two at a time on adjacent courts. A big part of the appeal for the two-site format is all matches are played on individual courts.
Mendoza said the plan is to have an EOU match on the Thursday before the tournament, allowing the small school competitors a chance to watch a Mountaineers program that has become one of the best in the nation at the NAIA level, as seen by their 2025 preseason ranking in the top five of two major polls.
“To me, it’s the next step for the school district, for Eastern
Oregon University, for the community to share our facilities and share our organization and our support to OSAA and our state,” Mendoza said.
“Small-school kids that are likely from rural schools, getting to come to one of the best universities for rural school children and showcasing that facility, to me, is another win.”
As for some of the other logistics that go into hosting a culminating event, Mendoza has no worries that the town is ready.
A Hampton Inn recently opened with over 90 rooms, joining three other large hotels in the area. There’s around 50 places listed on Airbnb and more boutique hotels as well to host all the teams and families coming over.
EOU and La Grande are both wired to stream the state events online for those who can’t make the trip.
“We got lodging, we got restaurants, we got facilities, we got businesses that would be welcoming,” Mendoza said.
“We have good technology for streaming things, making sure
we support with that too.” La Grande hasn’t had the chance often to host events while towns like Pendleton and Baker have hosted state basketball tournaments for a long time.
Last fall, Eastern Oregon hosted a couple state semifinal football games at the 8-man and 6-man level, opening the door for further collaboration. Now, the town will have its own event to craft and to make into something uniquely La Grande.
“La Grande is a beautiful town,” Mendoza said. “For us to be able to bring state competition into our community, it’s a community that I think is going to be a great host and a community that I think will be really excited to welcome a lot of teams and a lot of people.”

Coos Bay City Council hear presentation on tourism, approve Mingus Park bathroom upgrades
BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor
At the August 19 City Council meeting in Coos Bay
Janice Langlinais, Executive Director of the Coos Bay-North Bend-Charleston Visitor and Convention Bureau (VCB), gave the semi-annual presentation outlining the state of tourism in the area. Branded as Oregon’s Adventure Coast, the bureau is a multi-agency venture from Coos Bay, North Bend, Coos County, and the Coquille Tribe created for the purpose of monitoring and increasing tourism.
According to the presentation, tourism on the Adventure Coast was down slightly in 2024, with the visitor spend amounting to $147.3 million, a marginal decrease from the $147.9 million brought in for 2023. Despite that, there was a 1.5% increase in tourism-based jobs, with 2130 of them supported by the industry.
Averaging a 2-3 night stay, around 850,000 visitors hit the area last year spending an average of $121 per day. That spending was broken down as follows:
• $29 million on overnight lodging
• $70 million on dining and grocery stores
• $27 million on entertainment, recreation, and retail
This traffic and spending amounted to around 40% of the entire county’s tourism, with Langlinais citing Bandon Dunes as a massive draw for the wider area. In 2024, the county saw a visitor spend of $335.9 million which was up 2% from the prior year. That spending supported 3,870 tourism-based jobs, which was a 1.9% increase. More than 1 million stayed in the county, spending an average of $158 per day. The county’s spending was broken down like this:
• $101 million on overnight lodging
• $125 million on dining and grocery stores
• $72 million on entertainment, recreation, and retail.
Langlinais went on to outline some of the VCB’s successful marketing pushes, opening with a campaign in Denver driven by the Southwestern Oregon Regional Airport’s (OTH) increase in flights. Previously flying just twice a week, OTH increased that to include flights every day to and from Denver, prompting said ad campaign. According to the presentation, that campaign saw an increase in VCB website traffic from 338 visitors from the Denver area in quarter 3 to 5,991 in quarter 4. That is a 1673% increase which bore out in OTH’s flight numbers. OTH reported an increase in passengers from Denver that went from 2900 to over 8000 through the end of July.
Among the VCB’s goals for the next year was an update to the website, for which they were able to secure a $47,000 grant from Travel Oregon. The VCB also has shifted their online marketing strategy to drive traffic to a wider breadth of the area’s activities. According to data from the local visitor’s centers, since January this year the Adventure Coast has visitors from 14 different countries and 47 states (West Virginia, Kentucky, and Maine as the outliers).
“We appreciate what you’ve done. Before you came Janice, we didn’t have nearly this kind of operation and it’s been very successful for our area. Collaboration is key,” said Mayor Benetti following the presentation. “I think we’re very fortunate to have what we have. I think it’s wonderful.”


Council Approves New Bathrooms for Mingus Park
Thanks to a $343,464 grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department’s Local Government Grant Program, the City will be able to revitalize the bathrooms at Mingus Park after matching with their own
$228,977. The total project includes the already finished enclosing of the picnic area, the remodeling of the bathrooms by the baseball fields, and a new bathroom structure by the playground. Both sets of bathrooms will be ADA-compliant and include
energy efficiency upgrades. The city chose to go with Concrete Masonry Unit prefabricated facilities, but will still be responsible for pouring the concrete pad and installing the utilities. The City set out a lead time of 10-12 months for the completion of the whole project.

As I See It
A small headline on the front page of the Oct. 27, 1927, Western World reported on the salmon run.
“The run of salmon in the Coquille river has been good during the past week. The catch is sold to fresh fish buyers and to the mild curing plant in the woolen mill building (first photo). The number of gillnetters on the river is ample to take care of the run, however, there are more fishermen than ever in the history of the river, according to old timers at the business.”
The June 20, 1927, Western World reported that a committee named by the chamber of commerce would secure data about the potential of a golf course for Bandon.
“Realizing the necessity of having a golf course in Bandon, the directors of the chamber at their weekly noon day luncheon, held at Jerry’s Wednesday, decided to make it one of the community projects upon which time and effort is to be devoted.
“A committee of H.S. Ellis, Dr. R.E. Donahey, George W. Moore, Jr., Archie H. Rosa, O.C. Shindler and L.D, Felsheim was named by President C.R. Wade to investigate the possibility of securing suitable grounds and means of obtaining the desired improvements.
Four months later construction work began on the golf links that were to be located on the Ledgerwood farm (second photo) on Bandon beach, about a mile south of Silver Spray Gardens (and eventually across from Windermere Motel). Today the former golf course property is owned by the City.
The irony is that my grandfather, L.D. Felsheim, was one of the charter members of the golf course effort ... and 35 years later, he died of a heart attack on the ninth green (on top of the hill where Inn at Face Rock is now) of the very course he helped to develop.
“Cow Does Damage” is the headline on a small
item in the March 5, 1925, Western World.
“A warrant in municipal court issued on complaint of W.B. Hayden puts J.H. Jones in the toils for the misdeeds of the family cow. The residents on Ocean Drive have taken great pride in their gardens and flowers, but the Jones cow doesn’t share their pride and every now and then runs amuck among the posies. This time the Rasmussen, Hayden and Shindler (third photo) places suffered.”
* * * I understand the b.side motel and rv park has been sold, although that is about all I know about the transaction. The sales price was $1.5 million and the real estate agent was Joel Sweet, with Karen Joy Ellingson as co-agent.
The motel is located on 42S just east of town and was formerly the Bandon Wayside Motel, which was owned by the Wehner family for many years after being built in 1949.
* * * In other real estate news, I saw a post on Facebook last week announcing that Bandon Coffee Cafe will be moving within the next two weeks. The owner said “While it’s a bittersweet decision to leave our building we are really excited for our fully remodeled new digs just across the parking lot in historic Harbor Hall. We will have a grand opening in September.”
The building they are currently in, owned by Margaret Pounder, is for sale for $495,000. I have also learned that the local podiatrist, Dr. Babak Baharloo, has purchased the pink building on Grand Avenue, behind Face Rock Creamery from Jim Gagnon, representing the estate of his late wife, Cheryl Gagnon, for $275,000.
Dr. Baharloo is currently located in the former Rauschert building just east of the pink building, but I understand the new owners (who also own Bandon Inn) have other plans for the building. I’ve heard

By Mary Schamehorn
either motel rooms or apartments.
* * * The controversial Road Diet, which is part of the Transportation System Plan, will be the subject of a public hearing at the Tuesday, Sept. 2, city council meeting. Earli er the planning commission approved the recommendation of the planning staff to recommend approval of the TSP with the alternate which would narrow the north bound lanes through town to one, while keeping two going south. But the planning commission was assured that there could be no change to the highway configuration without a vote of the city council.
Members of the council, most of whom do not want a Road Diet, are urging people to attend the meeting, send a letter to the council or go onto the city’s website, click on Transportation System Plan Update, scroll past the pdfs, and at the bottom of the page is a section for your name, email and comments on the plan.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Note that because Monday is Labor Day, the council meeting is on Tuesday.
*
* * The Meet and Greet for Tuesday, Aug. 19, at noon at Bandon Fisheries Warehouse was sponsored by the Bandon History Museum and featured members of Holy Trinity Catholic Church sharing stories about the church, which was torn down recently to make way for a new church.
The Aug. 26 Meet and Greet will feature Reg Pullen and Troy Anderson, a member of the Coquille Indian Tribe, talking about the “Coquille -- the people, the river and the story.”
* * * Nancy Streets of Elko, Nev., a 1975 graduate of Bandon High School, was recently inducted into the 2025 Nevada Newspaper Hall of Fame. She is the daughter of the late Lorene and Willard Streets and has a number of relatives in Bandon.
“Nancy Streets had dedicated more than 40 years to community journalism, with a career defined by innovation in advertising and service to the industry. After beginning her career at the Statesman Journal In Salem, she spent more than three decades in Nevada, making a lasting impact at the Sparks Tribune,




Comstock Chronicle and the Elko Daily Free Press.”
She was a longtime member of the Nevada Press Association including two terms as president.
*
* * I recently saw an article that ranked Bandon as the safest beach town in America. Security Company Vivint has just released a study that ranked 72 beach towns and found the safest ones.
“The Safest? It’s Bandon Oregon where there are -wait for it -- zero violent crimes per 1,000 residents. What makes Bandon such a dreamboat of a beach


town? Perhaps its small population (3,304 in 2023) which means that people keep an eye out on each other and pull them back in line when they are drifting. It’s also got a cool, mild summer temp that makes it warm enough to swim, but cool enough to avoid sunstroke. Bandon has the 14th ranking on the list for property crimesnot great, but still decent enough to keep it on the top overall. It’s ranked 38th for having urgent care clinics at the ready, and Bandon’s beaches are said to be unspoiled, with views of isolated columns of rock in the water called sea stacks.”
In second place for safest beach town is Bristol, Rhode Island; 3rd was Chatham, Mass. No other Oregon beach town made the list. California had four: Pacific Grove, Morro Bay, Carmel and Huntington Beach.
“Something that all three of these winners has is a cute little lighthouse, just like every quaint coastal town should have.” I think I would disagree with their ranking of urgent care since Southern Coos Hospital has a superb emergency room which is open 24/7. But it’s hard to beat No. One so I guess I won’t complain.
* * * The next time you see Horty Joyce around town you might want to thank her for her long years of service to the Bandon Library, as board member, volunteer, county library board member and BLFF board member. After 20 years on the library board, her term ended June 30, and she has decided not to seek reappointment. “Horty,

Brian Knife
July 26, 1955 – August 8, 2025
At around 6:30 this evening in Bandon, Oregon, Brian Knife lost his long battle with cancer and passed from this world. Brian spent his last hours in the company of people he loved and who loved him. The day before he died was a good day, the best day; he shared stories and wisecracks with his brothers David and Nick, his sister-in-law Nancy, his niece Hallie, and his nephew Nathan, and with his dearest friend on earth, Laurie McCord, with whom he cohabitated the last 10 years of his life.
Brian was a graduate of Myrtle Point (Oregon) High School, class of 1973, and later graduated from the Kansas City School of Watchmaking. Watch and clock repair was a trade Brian pursued his entire adult life, at times in the employ of others, but culminating in his own business, B. W. Knife Clockworks, in Boise, Idaho. He had hundreds of customers, acquaintances, and friends in the Boise area over the roughly 40 years of business.
In retirement Brian never stopped working, having become a skilled machinist. His garage was outfitted with metal working machines of all types, including lathes, drill presses, and the like. He used these to fashion all manner of items: aluminum toy spinners, brass kaleidoscopes, miniature rifles and pistols, astrolabes, planetariums, and marine clock cases. At one point Brian even manufactured a complete and properly-geared grandfather clock, which he machined entirely from raw brass plates. He was an avid reader and kept current on U.S. and world events. The day before he entered the hospital for the last time, he had begun work on enlarging the “kitt-io” he had constructed for his beloved cat, Socks, who misses him terribly.
Brian was fortunate to have lived his last few years in the town of Bandon, on the Oregon coast near where he was raised, a spot he found beautiful. Brian got his cancer treatment in Roseburg at the Roseburg Cancer Center and would like to thank the Center staff and Dr. Williams. We also thank the medical staff at the Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center in Bandon for their kindness and compassion during Brian’s last hours. Brian was preceded in death by his parents, Bill and Addie, and will be interred with them in Sunset Memorial Gardens of Coos Bay, Oregon in a private celebration of life at a future date. Brian is survived by his brothers, David


(Martha) and Nick (Nancy), his longtime friend Laurie McCord, and his nieces and nephews Nathan, Hallie, Joey, Aaron, and Megan, as well as grand nephews Buck, Michael, and Alex.
Brian faced death with characteristic humor. When we noted his DNR bracelet as he lay in the hospital, he protested that it was supposed to be a “DNNR bracelet, for Do Not Not Resuscitate.” He then observed that the priest had just been there, and deadpanned, “He read me my last rights.” We didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, which is exactly what he intended, so we did both.
Our only regret is that we did not have more time with you, Brian. We love you.

James Herbert Batdorff
September 9, 1941 – August 16, 2025
A memorial service for James Herbert Batdorff, age 83, of Coos Bay was held at First Baptist Church in Coos Bay. An urnside service was held at Sunset Memorial Park in Coos Bay.
Jim was born September 9, 1941 in the War Memorial Hospital, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. He returned to God, his Creator, in whose image he was created on Saturday August 16, 2025. He was the son of L. Dale and Etta Dorothy (Radtke) Batdorff. He lived with his family in Rudyard, Michigan until he graduated from Michigan Technological University with a B.S. Degree in Forestry in 1964.
Jim came to Coos Bay in the spring of 1964 having accepted a six-month temporary assignment with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) working on the 1963 Columbus Day Salvage Program. During that assignment he met the love of his life Rev. Alfreda Pinther who had come from Nampa, Idaho to North Bend to teach school. They were married on December 27, 1964 in Nampa, Idaho shortly after he was drafted into the US Army.
After training at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri and Ft. Dix, New Jersey, Jim was assigned to a joint services security base on Okinawa where he finished his tour of duty as a Chaplain’s Assistant (E-5) in 1966. During this time Alfreda served as a missionary to the Okinawa Christian School and served as choir director on Jim’s base. Jim received his honorable discharge in October of 1966 and was rehired by the BLM to work on the 1964 Oxbow Fire salvage program.
Jim and Alfreda built their own home under the Oregon Department of Veteran’s Affairs in 1969, living in it until he passed.
Jim was promoted to District Silviculturist and served in this capacity until he retired from the BLM in 1997. He oversaw the Forest Development program, which during most of those years, was the

largest budgeted program in the district. During those years some 125,000 acres of BLM lands were planted with an estimated 52 million trees.
Jim believed in environmental stewardship on and off the job including there being ‘a time to plant and a time harvest’.
He is survived by his wife, Rev. Alfreda (Pinther) Batdorff; his children, James A. Batdorff, Jon Batdorff, and Janice McClary and her husband, Andrew McClary; his grandchildren, Talitha Delyria and her husband, Michal Delyria, Andrew McClary and his wife, Shaily McClary, Jonas Batdorff, and his wife Aria Batdorff, Jamison Batdorff, and Kaydence Batdorff; as well as his great-grandchildren, Paisley Delyria and Oaklee Delyria.

effect in January, giving property owners much needed clarity and authority in dealing with illegal occupants.
The Bill allows an owner or landlord to evict a squatter using the standard eviction process. Without this new bill, state law requires property owners to take civil legal action against the squatter in a process known as ejectment, which costs homeowners thousands of
dollars and takes months to process.
I have heard of one case in the area where the owners have been trying since February to get a person removed from their house, and in another case in the Rogue Valley, the house had to be condemned and torn down because of the toxic drugs that were being used by squatters.

The Chamber Minute

Hi friends, Rosey here with another Chamber Minute!
This week I’m gearing up to launch my own version of “Dirty Jobs”—a new video series I’m calling Rosey Knows. I’ll be spending time working alongside our Platinum Sponsors to really understand what they do, and to showcase their businesses in action. First up is Cardinal Services. They do so much for local businesses—and I just hope I don’t mess up anyone’s payroll while I’m there! You’ll be able to catch these videos at our Wednesday Business Connection Luncheons at

Of course, it’s also back-toschool season, which can bring its own kind of chaos. My husband and son have been away this week helping my mother in Arizona, leaving me to juggle work, back-to-school prep, and all our animals— ducks, chickens, fish, cats, and dogs. Picture me sliding down muddy hills in my work clothes, just trying to feed the chickens before traffic and construction add more to the day.
But here’s what I’ve been reminding myself: instead of grumbling or letting the stress pile up,or

“You feel really seen and taken care of when you go into Oregon Coast Bank.”





When Amy and Matt White moved from Colorado to the Oregon Coast, they brought more than their love for ocean views—they brought a vision. Back home, community-focused breweries had become a staple in their lives, a third place where friends, families, and neighbors could gather. Inspired to create something similar in Gleneden Beach, the couple jumped at the chance when a property near the coast became available.
In June 2017, they began construction on Beachcrest Brewing. “There were a lot of challenges from changing local county ordinance to operating through COVID to adding the kitchen and becoming a restaurant. It’s exciting to look back and see that we navigated them successfully, and just see how far Beachcrest has come.”
Since opening in late 2018, Beachcrest Brewing has become a local favorite— known not just for its craft beer, but for its commitment to the community. Live music, local events, and a growing menu all support a welcoming space for neighbors and visitors alike. Their motto says it all: Coastal. Community. Craft.
Amy and Matt say that community support—including their partnership with Oregon Coast Bank—has made all the difference. “I really enjoy working with Oregon Coast Bank because it’s really a community vibe when you go in. Everywhere else feels like another person walking in the door. You feel seen and taken care of.”
That personal connection extends to Beachcrest Brewing’s local branch. “The branch manager, Jedd, is super supportive and ready to answer questions and handle anything that comes up.” says White. For Beachcrest Brewing, banking locally means more than financing. It means having someone in their corner.
As Beachcrest continues to expand its space and offerings, their goals remain the same: “building a strong foundation to continue to grow and cultivate our community.” Oregon Coast Bank is proud to support that mission and toast to the people behind it.
