Behind Thrifty Sisters’ Success North Bend’s Business of the Year BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

Every small business starts somewhere. Some from within on a dream, a passion, or a calling. For Mindy Madsen, now multi-award-winning owner of

Thrifty Sisters in North Bend, it came from family and one very important question: “My sister called me and said ‘You hate your job, you’re in pain all the time, what do you want to be when you grow up?’”

explained Madsen standing behind the counter at her Pony Village Mall location. “I don’t know, I have to grow See BUSINESS OF THE YEAR Continued on Page 3

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

The unspoken epidemic in Coos County - and what it’s costing us all

The Return of Room 8, the School Cat The cat went first to Room 8 and entered without fanfare. He took inventory of the place, sniffing bags, books and desks, even allowing children to pet him. He was friendly, but not overly affectionate. He seemed wary, wanting to make sure he was in a safe space before letting his guard down. When he’d finished inspecting Room 8, he worked his way through the rest of the building, dropping in on classrooms, bathrooms, closets and the front office. As you’d expect, the kids went wild. It wasn’t every day a feline slinked into a place of learning, after all, and he was an instant hit. The cat By J. MARK POWELL decided not only that the school was InsideSources.com acceptable, but that it was now his new digs. The strange stray had found A collective funk is descending a home.

followed. He seemed to particularly enjoy hanging out with younger students during their storytime. When the final bell rang at 3 p.m., Room 8 departed with the rest of the student body. Nobody knew where he went. But he was always back again at 8 sharp the next morning. As the school year wound down, teachers and students thought that would be the end of that. There was a tearful farewell on the final day. To everyone’s surprise, Room 8 showed up again on the first day of school that September. A ritual was born. He spent the academic term hanging out at Elysian Heights Elementary, did his own thing all summer, and was back for more the following first day of school. Word of the cat’s mysterious comings and goings — and the school’s affection for him — spread. Soon, news crews were on hand on the first day of every school year. Like the swallows returning to San Juan Capistrano in March, Room 8’s return was reported each September. Celebrity followed. Life magazine did a photo spread on him. A children’s book was written about him. Radio stations interviewed him (though kids and teachers provided the answers). Johnny Carson featured him in the early years of “The Tonight Show.” He even rode in a limousine to one guest appearance. As the 1960s wound down, time caught up with him. Room 8’s classroom visits grew shorter, with him even skipping some days entirely. A local family near the school took him in. When he died peacefully on Aug. 13, 1968, The Los Angeles Times ran a full obituary. A mural was dedicated in his memory inside the school. A collection was raised, and a large marker was placed on his grave in a local pet cemetery. It reads, “Room 8 1947 – 1968. He chose us.”

By DESIREÉ GLENN GAOIRAN Opinion Column

I want to say something out loud that most people are too afraid to confront: Child molestation is destroying our community. Not metaphorically. Not quietly. In ways that go deeper, cut harder, and last longer than even child poverty. That’s not just theory it’s what the data says. And it’s what I’ve witnessed firsthand growing up, working with families, and trying to help kids in this county build better futures. The root cause of so much of our pain - our addiction, our broken homes, our mental health crisis, our homelessness - is early sexual trauma. And we are not treating it like the public emergency it is. Because sexual abuse isn’t just something that happens in childhood. It embeds itself in a person’s nervous system, their trust in others, their ability to feel safe or worthy. It rewires brains. It changes what people believe about love, connection, and the world. And when it’s unhealed, it explodes in every direction - addiction, incarceration, early death. The Cost Is Staggering • Survivors of childhood sexual abuse are 3 to 5 times more likely to develop PTSD, depression, and substance use disorders.

ABOUT THE WRITER J. Mark Powell is a novelist, former TV journalist and diehard history buff. He is the author of the coming “Witness to War: The Civil War Told by Those Living Through It.” He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

• Nationwide, we lose an estimated $9 billion per year to the aftermath of child sexual abuse. That’s just the economic number. The human cost? Immeasurable. And yet in Coos County, we barely talk about it. We focus on symptoms homelessness, addiction, foster care overload - but not the wound underneath. I’m Calling It What It Is: A Community-Level Emergency If we really want to heal this region - if we care about long-term solutions - we cannot ignore this. Prevention has to become a priority. Because if we don’t stop the abuse before it starts, we’ll keep spending millions trying to fix what we never prevented. Break the Silence. Stop treating this topic like it’s too taboo to name. Protecting children is more important than protecting comfort. Final Word: I live here. I work here. I raise my kids here. And I believe our community is capable of radical healing - but only if we’re brave enough to name the real issues. It’s time to put the full weight of our concern, funding, and action behind stopping child sexual abuse - before it steals another generation’s future. Because nothing else we fix will matter if we don’t fix this.

Letters to the Editor The Lakeside Community Garden The Lakeside Community Garden, “Harmony Garden” would like to thank the Cow Creek Foundation for their generous Grant for $2,100.00. The garden is utilized by individuals to plant vegetables and flowers for not only their own use, but surplus produce is distributed through our local food bank. The garden also serves as an educational experience for children in the community. The wooden garden beds are deteriorating rapidly and the gate into the garden needs to be replaced. Thanks to the financial support of the Cow Creek Foundation, the garden beds will be reinforced with corrugated metal and gate replaced, thus making the community garden usable for years to come. Mike Mueller Harmony Garden Manager Ethical Governance On July 22nd, North Bend City Council established a citizen committee to consider potential amendments to the City Charter. At the July 7th work session, City Administrator David Milliron maintained that the ‘biggest question’ for a possible charter change was crafting a mechanism to remove a city councilor! Milliron said, “We learned a hard lesson under the prior cycle of four years. It’s hard to protect your city administrator if you have no mechanism to disciple or remove a city councilor. This city spent in excess of $75,000 and they couldn’t do anything. You were left in a situation where you had your chief executive still having his civil rights violated.” I would like to respond. Mr. Milliron is a knowledgeable, talented individual and a hard worker, but I pushed back when I thought he went beyond

his authority. Here are some recollections from my four years on Council. 1. A May 27, 2024 agenda item had no business being on the agenda. Councilor Garboden’s request for a vote to scrap meeting minutes had not been brought to a work session first. A proposed ordinance requires the express support of a majority of councilors to move from a work session to the formal meeting for a vote. I called for a ‘point of order’. After some initial parrying, the Parliamentarian (City attorney) said, “Well, Mr. Milliron makes the agenda.” I said, “Do you mean to tell me that Mr. Milliron can overrule a Council Rule?” The proposal to scrap meeting minutes was moved to the next work session agenda for the required discussion. Ref. Section 2.04.060 (a) and (b) of the Council Rules (Ordinance 2052). 2. The League of Oregon Cities has compiled Model Rules for City Councils. One rule considers councilor interactions with staff, and recommends councilors limit their use of staff time to no more than two hours. North Bend’s Council Rules require that all interactions with City staff go through Mr. Milliron. On Feb. 11th 2023, after an OBAB work part in Ferry Road Park, I was visiting with Public Works Director Ralph Dunham by the picnic shelter. We knew each other from working together at a local firm in the past. Mr. Milliron barreled between us to break up the conversation, unseen until he was moving fast right in front of my face. He almost knocked me over. 3. At the March 3rd 2023 work session, Mr. Milliron berated me in front of the Council when I said that I’d received a map of City-owned property from the Public Works Department, saying it was a

violation of Council Rules. We were in search of places to allow homeless people to camp. I looked for a map of City owned property. Mr. Milliron emailed me to check with Public Works after I emailed him to ask where to find a map of city owned property! 4. At the July 10, 2023 work session, a City resident came to the meeting, gave public comment, then left. Mr. Milliron panned the person’s comment in his remarks to Council. 5. The July 10, 2023 work session had an agenda item, ‘Tiny Home Discussion’. It was Mr. Milliron’s topic; he handed out four architectural drawings of two-story cottages, living quarters above a single car garage, available for rent to nurses, teachers etc. He said these could be built at the old Visitors’ Information Center which had been declared ‘surplus property’. When I emailed him afterwards to ask when Council had voted to declare the Visitors’ Center as surplus property, he did not respond. He emailed Council two days later that Visitors’ Center had not been declared surplus property; that would be inadvisable. 6. My 2023 work session agenda request for a sign prohibiting electric bikes on the Simpson Bluff Trail resulted in Mr. Milliron panning my request in an email to Council. When I objected, he directed staff to install the sign. After I left Council in December 2024, the sign was removed. 7. On July 23, 2024, Mr. Milliron told Council that he was considering asking commercial businesses regarding their interest in the old Visitors’ Information Center property because after it is torn down, it will be commercial property! When I emailed an inquiry as

to its zoning, he responded by email to the entire Council that Simpson Park is a single tax lot, zoned R-7, with commercial uses limited to a neighborhood grocery or parking. 8. Council awarded a consultant’s contract for the Parks Master Plan on February 13, 2024. The staff report text mentioned a master plan steering committee and that Council could make appointments at the first meeting in March. The Council Rules require a Council vote to establish a Board, Commission or Committee, require written applications in advance, and a Council vote on all appointments.

None of that happened for the 20-year update to the Parks Master Plan, part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan that received two public hearings and adoption by ordinance! The ‘steering group’ was formed behind the scenes, the meetings were never public, and all of it was a willful violation of the Council Rules. From Section 22 of the City Charter: The City Administrator may not control: a) the Council. The ethical removal of an elected official would be through a recall election.

The Chamber Minute From the desk of Rosey Thomas

BY ROSEY THOMAS Executive Director, Bay Area Chamber of Commerce

Earlier this month, Governor Tina Kotek directed the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) to pause its proposed farm stand and agritourism rulemaking following strong pushback from rural communities and small farms! The Bay Area Chamber was fully prepared to respond. We had begun organizing a coalition of local farms

Business of the Year From Page 1

up?” she laughed. “But it turns out that my hobby, and what I did on the weekends, what I did for fun, and what I did on vacation, well they were all the same: its thrifting!” With that realization, Madsen left her job as a retail manager at a chain store in Medford and, with her sister, began making preparations for what would become their ﬁrst storefront. What started over 13 years ago as a small thrift shop in Charleston is now the most recent recipient of North Bend’s Business of the Year award. But as with most small businesses, that preparation was no easy feat. “I spent two years collecting clothes and whatever I could get my hands on,” said Madsen. “I ﬁlled the dining room, but a dining room’s worth of clothes and things are like two racks and three tables worth of stuff… I kind of think I was meant to be out there, Charleston needed me.” When the opportunity to expand into a bigger space came along three years ago, Madsen jumped, and the rest is history. People were already travelling from North Bend and Coos Bay to Charleston for Thrifty Sister’s affordable and extensive collection, especially where baby and toddler clothes were concerned. Now, Madsen’s favorite customers are the ones that have been populating

and agritourism businesses to submit unified opposition, recognizing that the proposed rules could have placed unnecessary burdens on rural entrepreneurs and family farms. Our plan included: • Convening affected businesses for a coordinated response. • Hosting a local information session with county planners. • Drafting joint letters and public comment templates.

malls for decades: teenagers. “Now there’s a much higher volume of people in general. There are so many teenagers at the mall though,” said Madsen. “That’s my favorite demographic, teenagers and young adults. They need life skills; they look at me like I’m super cool even though I’m clearly old enough to be their mother. “I just get to be permaauntie. They grew up with me, they came in as baby bumps and now they’re teenagers… Now they come and hang out and chat, or ask for style advice. I’m like ‘Yes! I get to style teenagers? They think I’m cool?’ That’s like the ultimate compliment, when a teenagers think you’re cool.” That all makes sense when you meet Madsen in person. She has an endless enthusiasm and a penchant for making anyone that walks into her store feel not only welcome, but special. That’s not just a ‘vibe’ at Thrifty Sisters either, it’s a policy, one that started all the way back in Charleston. Part of the reason for Thrifty Sisters’ recognition from the City of North Bend was due to their commitment to discounts for foster parents, and members of other community organizations. It goes well beyond the table of $1 kid’s clothes. “It started just because I love foster parents… It was basically outreach so it felt right, and I had the cheapest kid’s clothes and the most available kid’s clothes. People were

driving to Charleston to buy them, so it was a winwin,” explained Madsen. “And it turned into this,” she gestured to a white-board listing all of the offered discounts. In addition to foster families, it includes teachers, students, military members, seniors, and a whole host of local organizations. Madsen says that her business has two catchlines, the first being “We are here for you”, which may be simple but rings true through their community partnerships. The second is “Every body is welcome here,” which is reflected through the store’s commitment to inclusivity. “The goal is to make everyone who enters feel safe,” said Madsen, who went on to speak about how being asked to help with styling for things like gender affirmation is an honor. That extends to employees too. Thrifty Sisters had made an effort to hire through Alternative Youth Activities’ workforce development program. Another in that long list of community partners. Madsen has high hopes for the future, or what she calls the ‘maybe somedays’. “In a grand world, I would add a door or throw the whole wall out and expand. Add furniture and housewares. Hire maybe two more employees,” dreams Madsen. With deep connections to community, awardwinning recognition, and a load of loyal customers, hopefully those ‘maybe somedays’ will come sooner than she thinks.

• Connecting with state legislators who shared our concerns. While the rulemaking is on hold for now, we will continue monitoring developments and stand ready to re-engage if needed. This pause shows the power of early, organized advocacy—and underscores the Chamber’s role as a voice for business. Our Business is Helping Your Business.

Pre Track Club athletes are All-Americans Kennon John Gunther

For the World

Two members of the Prefontaine Track Club became All-Americans in multiple seasons by placing in the high jump at the recent Junior Olympics National Meet in Georgia. Both Paige Johnson and Logan Vinyard placed in the high jump in the 11-12 age group. Johnson is now a three-time All-American, having also placed in both the high jump and triathlon two years ago. Vinyard placed in the high jump for the second straight year. Competing on the final day of the event, Johnson placed sixth among the girls, clearing 4 feet, 5 1/2 inches, which was a new personal best. She cleared the first four heights on her first attempt before missing three tries at 4-7 1/2. Penn Vergil was one of three girls to clear 4-11 1/2 and won based on fewer misses. Johnson also competed in the 80-meter hurdles at the national event, but did not make it out of the preliminary rounds. She placed 41st with a time of 16.16 seconds. Johnson, who lives in Bandon, noted that she was proud of her accomplishments and the effort it took. “Success doesn’t come easy,”

she said. “It takes lots of sacrifices.” For Johnson, that has meant skipping hometown events for the Fourth of July, her favorite holiday, to compete in state or regional meets, and not being able to show her horse at the Coos County Fair with her 4H club because of the national meet. Vinyard placed fifth in the high jump for the boys, with a clearance of 4-8 1/4. Jared Fry cleared 5-2 1/4 to win the event. Vinyard cleared his first three heights on his first try, needed two attempts to get over 4-6 1/4 and got over 4-8 1/4 on his first attempt. He went out when the bar was at 4-10 1/4. “After I didn’t make the opening height two years ago at Hayward Field, it was heartbreaking, but seeing my twin brother Cooper get a medal was awesome and made me proud,” he said. “I have learned a lot since then and put in a lot of time and dedication to get better. I’m glad that I have made the podium two years in a row and would love to secure a national title next year.” He also finished 27th in the shot put, his best mark of 28-9 coming on his first attempt. Cooper Vinyard also competed in the high jump at the national meet again, placing 14th by clearing 4-4 1/4.

Former Bandon golfer Scotty Kennon competed in his first PGA Tour event last weekend in North Carolina. Kennon was a Monday qualifier for the Wyndham Championship and nearly made the cut in the tournament. Kennon finished the two rounds at even par. He shot a 2-under 68 in the first round, which included three birdies and an eagle at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.

Bandon, playing without Sevren Quinn, one of its top players, finished 50th out of 55 squads. Quinn was in Texas playing in the U.S. Junior Amateur. The tournament was played over three different courses at

Pinehurst, the No. 5, 6 and 8 courses. The Tigers shot 319 on No. 5, 320 on No. 8 and 332 on No. 6 for a total of 107-over par. Peyton Simonds led Bandon with a three-day total of 14over. His scores for the rounds were 72, 78 and 80. He tied for 135th. Braedon MIllhouser tied for 182nd at 20-over after a strong final round moved him up 21 spots. His rounds were 81, 80 and 75.

Bandon High School student Sevren Quinn missed the cut at the U.S. Junior Amateur last week in Dallas, Texas. It was the junior-to-be’s first time in the tournament that brings together many of the top junior golfers from the United States and around the world. Quinn qualified for the event by beating North Bend’s Owen Bascom in the championship match of the recent Oregon Amateur. Quinn, who helped Bandon to its second straight high school state title in May, finished at 13-over in his two qualifying rounds, shooting a 5-over 76 on the Trinity

Forest Golf Club course and an 8-over 78 on the Brook Hollow Golf Club course. The top 64 players out of 264 from the two rounds of qualifying advanced to the match play portion of the bracket, and needed a total of 3-over or better to advance. The eventual winner of the tournament was Hamilton Coleman of Augusta, Ga., who won six matches to take the title, beating Minh Nguyen of Vietnam 2 and 1 in the 36-hole final at Trinity Forest. Amazingly, Coleman’s opening match, his closest, lasted 25 holes. Coleman and Isaiah Igo of Texas were tied after a birdie by Igo on the 14th hole and then halved 10 holes in a row until Coleman won the

match with a par on the seventh extra hole. Igo had won the same hole with a par much earlier in the match. Coleman never played the 18th hole again, except in the first round of the 36hole final. Coleman went on to win his next four matches 4 and 3, 2 and 1, 2 and 1 and 5 and 4 before the final match. The 2022 U.S. Junior Amateur was held at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort and the tournament returns to Bandon Dunes in 2045. It next will be in Oregon in 2036 when it will be held at Crosswater in Sunriver. Next year’s event will be at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa.

Chance to comment on fishing regulations ODFW

Newsroom

ODFW will be proposing several changes to next year’s Sport Fishing Regulations. The Commission will adopt 2026 regulations at their Sept. 12 meeting in Ontario. Major staff proposals for changes include: Allowing spearfishing for bass and walleye in more rivers and streams: Spearfishing is a popular alternative fishing method and the public has been requesting expanded opportunity. The change could also potentially help reduce impacts of bass and walleye on native fish. Clarifying bag limits for kokanee: Currently, kokanee are considered trout and counted as part of the

trout bag limit which can be confusing. The new bag limit would be a standard 10 kokanee per day (in addition to trout limits), no size limit, open all year, unless noted under Exceptions. Making the coho seasons in the upper Willamette Basin permanent: There have been large coho runs above Willamette Falls the last few years, allowing for fishing seasons to be adopted under temporary rule. Moving forward, coho fishing would be open in the mainstem and some tributaries under permanent regulations with season dates (Oct. 1-Dec. 31) to protect spring Chinook and winter steelhead. Anglers and others interested have several options to provide comments or feedback: Send an email to odfw.

sportfishingregulations@ odfw.oregon.gov These comments will be shared with the Fish and Wildlife Commission in advance of their decision. Comment via this form on the Rulemaking page at odfw.com Sign up to testify in person or remotely at the Sept. 12 Commission meeting. A sign up link will be available approximately two weeks prior to the meeting on the Commission web page, and you must register no later than 48 hours in advance of the meeting (by Sept. 10 at 8 a.m.) Under a new policy meant to streamline regulations, ODFW solicits input for changes to fishing regulations every other year. The 2027 Sport Fishing Regulations should be similar

to whatever is adopted for 2026. However, ODFW takes suggestions throughout the year. Anglers and others should contact their local district fish biologist to discuss or propose regulation changes.

The annual Circle the Bay road race is Saturday, Aug. 9. Runners and walkers will be traveling 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) around the waters of Coos Bay, starting and ending at Ferry Road Park in North Bend. Walkers begin at 6:30 a.m. and runners start at 8 a.m. People can compete either as individuals or part of a three-person relay team. The route takes participants from Ferry Road Park through North Bend and Coos Bay along U.S. Highway 101 and then through Eastside and out the Coos River Highway to Chandler Bridge, where they turn onto East Bay Drive. The race finishes with the historic McCullough Bridge and the return to Ferry Road Park. Drivers should be wary of runners and walkers along the Coos River Highway and East Bay Drive. There is still time for participants to sign up, though the deadline to get a T-shirt with registration has passed. The entry fee is $75 for individuals or $225 for relay teams and includes a post-race barbecue lunch for all participants and volunteers. People can be individuals for the entire race and run the first leg for a relay team. For more information or to register, visit www.southcoastrunningclub.org.

Coquille Tibe and ODFW Announce Proposal for First Coquille River Chinook Fishery in Four Years

Chinook Salmon

Coho Salmon

By NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

On July 31, representatives from the Coquille Tribe and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) came together to announce that their co-management of salmon populations in the Coquille River has been a major success. In front of a who’swho of local politics at the mouth of the Coquille in Bandon, they announced that a proposal for Chinook fishing would be submitted to the wildlife commission. Thanks to restoration efforts led by the two organizations, hatchery performance is finally up to a level suitable for harvesting for the first time since 2021. After worries that extinction was on the horizon, the

tribe and ODFW came together in a co-management agreement that saw huge resources dedicated to preserving Coho and Chinook salmon, which have been a cultural cornerstone of tribal life for millennia. “Hearing those numbers and talking about the possibility of extinction of our salmon on the Coquille River, we started thinking about our salmon ceremonies that would never happen again,” Tribal Chair Brenda Meade told the World. “That we would never be able to teach our young people about that ceremony, and about how important those fish are. They’re our relatives and we’ve relied on them for tens of thousands of years.” “If you ever come to a tribal gathering of Coquille People you will see salmon filets on those sticks. It is

everything we are for the health and wellbeing of our people, and the thoughts that our elders would never have those salmon again was significant. Its not just salmon, it’s all the work that goes into it too.” The threat really was that dire, due to changing environmental factors and a large influx in invasive smallmouth bass which feed on juvenile salmon populations of adult salmon returning to the hatcheries was down to the triple digits after previously averaging in the tens of thousands. This existential threat called for the collaboration celebrated that morning in front of See CHINOOK FISHERY Continued on Page 16

Hoyle, Wyden, Merkley: Federal disaster relief coming to Southern Oregon Flooding Recovery From the Oregon Delegation

EUGENE, OR – Oregon’s U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04) and U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley welcome the approval of Oregon Governor Tina Kotek’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in response to devastating flooding and other damaging weather-related events that severely impacted Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties in March. The wide-ranging weather between March 13 and March 20, 2025 triggered several incidents from the South Coast to Eastern Oregon, as warm rains led to rapid snowmelt that contributed to severe runoff and erosion. Three rivers reached major flood levels, and wind gusts of over 45 miles per hour caused power outages and blocked roads. To help impacted communities recover from this disaster, the Oregon lawmakers wrote a letter to the White House in support of the Governor’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration. President Trump granted her request for Public Assistance (PA) for Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties. “The impacts the severe flooding had

on both the physical and social infrastructure in Southern Oregon have been devastating,” said the Oregon lawmakers. “We are grateful the President saw the urgency and immense need of the Governor’s request for federal aid for Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties. This assistance we supported is critical to ensure state, local, and Tribal governments have federal resources needed to help Oregonians recover from this destructive

natural disaster.” The Major Disaster Declaration in PA approved for Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties now unlocks federal funding from FEMA for state, Tribal, and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis to address damages sustained from flooding, landslides, mudslides, and other impacts during the storms. The Oregon lawmakers’ request for

FEMA to provide support to eligible individuals and households in Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties through the Individual Assistance (IA) program remains under review. Additionally, the White House is still weighing the Oregon lawmakers’ request to make the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) available to help communities in the three countries rebuild in a way that mitigates future disaster losses.

THE WORLD

TheWorldLink.com/community/bandon

PHOTO COURTESY OF MARY SCHAMEHORN

As I See It Less than five years after the disastrous 1936 fire wiped out most of Bandon’s residential areas, progress was reported in the building of homes, started by Mayor K.I. Franklin and others interested in the rebuilding of the residential section of Bandon, especially in the Ocean Drive area (first photo). An article in the March 6, 1941, Western World, said “the possibility of securing long-time, low payment financing for a group of homes in a designated district, in which building restrictions can be enforced, has interested a number of business and professional men, and 11 have definitely declared their interest. The first area to be considered is along Fourth Street and Ocean Drive in west Bandon. No house could be constructed in the area under the $3,000 class. “After the first project is launched and the $3,000class homes are assured, a second project will be considered for homes of the $2,000 class. Later lower priced projects will be considered.” I would guess that the original Otto Shindler home was a part of that initial project, and it may be that my grandparents’ house at the other end of Ocean Drive may also have been part of the project. The second story, from early1936, tells of plans being completed by the Bandon Volunteer Fire Department to entertain a record crowd at the annual firemen’s ball at the Silver Spray Gardens (second photo) on Feb. 15. “Since the local department was organized six years ago, the ball has been a colorful annual event, never failing to attract large crowds. “Gartin’s Silver Spray orchestra (third photo) will furnish music again for the year’s event. “Since the department was organized, insurance rates have been cut from 30 to 50 percent. The department is ranked one of the smartest and most efficient volunteer

organizations in the state.” (But they were no match for the blaze that consumed the town eight months later.) “The department answered 22 calls during 1935. Fires involved a total property value of $32,000. But the total loss for the year was held down to $1,500. “The great difference between the value of property actually menaced by flames and the comparatively small loss is a factor which counts in bringing Bandon reduced insurance rates. “Proceeds from the dance are used to purchase additional equipment and necessities for the department which now has 21 active members.” At that time, C.S. “Curly” Woomer was the fire chief, and Forrest “Nort” Norton was the assistant chief. * * * Speaking of fire, the Bandon Rural Fire District was called out late Friday afternoon to report of a structure fire at 1045 Seventh Street SW in the Ocean Drive area. “Upon arrival, we discovered heavy fire on the back side of the house, and fire had made its way into the attic,” said Fire Chief Nick Siewell. Owned by the Lester Family Trust, the home was not occupied, but had been the home of Hazel Lester for many years. Siewell said while forward progress was stopped quickly, overhaul was time consuming with the fire making its way to the attic and the fact that the residence had a metal roof. Bandon Fire was assisted by Myrtle Point Fire and Coquille Fire through their Auto Aid agreements. The cause is still being investigated and Bandon Fire is being assisted by the state fire marshal’s office which is standard procedure, the chief said. * * * A letter was sent out Friday by Bandon School Superintendent Shauna Schmerer and BEA President Jen Ells indicating that the two sides had reached a tentative

By Mary Schamehorn agreement after a lengthy meeting Thursday. The letter said, in part, “These negotiations were not easy. At times, they reflected the very real tensions and concerns that come when people care deeply about education, fairness, and the future of our community. The agreement we’ve reached ensures that Bandon’s teachers are valued for the vital role they play in shaping young minds. It also reflects a shared understanding of the importance of long term sustainability and studentfocused solutions, even as we recognize the challenges ahead and commit to working together to uphold them.” The three-year tentative agreement still needs to be voted on by the BEA as well as approved by the Bandon School Board. The first year will see a 7 percent salary increase, plus an additional step across the salary schedule (equating to an average of 3.3 percent); the second year will be a 5 percent increase in salary, and the third year of the contract will also see a 5 percent increase. The 7-5-5 was the latest request by the teachers (BEA) as of May 29. * * * I have learned of the passing of two former Bandon men, both of whom attended high school here. On July 23, David Howard, 76, who lived in Clarkston, Wash., with his wife Paula, died at home. He is survived by his brothers, Tom of Coos Bay, Rick of Bandon, his sister Peggy Backholm of Ajijic, Mexico, and several nieces and nephews. David was a 1966 graduate of BHS. On July 24, Mike McClain of Roseburg passed away at the age of 68. A Celebration of Life was held Saturday at the New Beginnings Church of God in Roseburg. He was born March 26, 1957, to Lois and Dale McClain. His survivors include his brother Tom, and his sisters, Cindy and Sherry, and his aunt, Mary. * * * I was sorry, but not surprised, to learn that recent information about the top five most dangerous cities in Oregon, ranked Coos Bay as No. 2, barely behind Portland on a per capital basis. The others were Ontario, Salem, Astoria, Klamath Falls, Medford, Eugene and Roseburg. Not a statistic that any city hopes for, but the jail

situation cannot help but contribute to those stats as the county’s original 250bed jail now has one pod (48 beds) open. It would take support of a jail levy to provide the funds to open at least one more pod. * * * Although the information was received too late for last week’s column, I have learned that construction work on the north (8th street) staircase barricade at Coquille Point began Monday, July 21, and is expected to take three or more weeks to complete. While the 8th Street stairway will be closed for the duration of the project, the 11th street stairs will be open. The contractor has a right-of-way permit to use the road near the Madison avenue access point, and is moving the equipment

along the beach to the base of the stairs, where the old piling are being replaced, according to Alex Cook, local Refuge Manager for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. * * * Saturday afternoon, Bandon police received a call about man walking across the top of Bullards Bridge, which crosses the Coquille River on Highway 101. Police were able to get the man down and took him to a hospital. No other information was available. * * * The annual Mary Richards Memorial scholarship application deadline was extended to Friday, Aug. 1.

Dale Quincy Snyder

TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 2025 | 15

October 31, 1948 – June 28, 2025

Dale Q. Snyder, 76, of North Bend, passed away peacefully at his home in North Bend on June 28, 2025. A private family gathering was held to celebrate his life. Dale Quincy Snyder was born on October 31, 1948 in Billings, Montana, to Arnold and Gladys Snyder. His lifelong passion for music began at the age of eight, when his mother introduced him to the school band program. From that moment on, drumming became the rhythm of his life. With encouragement and instruction from Detroit-based professional, Len Droste, and relentless practice, Dale quickly rose to become the best drummer in his school. At the age of twelve he received his first drum set, and by thirteen he was playing occasional gigs at the local country club. By the age of fourteen he was earning money performing at the Eagles Club, and by fifteen he was self sufficient, with his musical talent paving his way. In his junior year of high school, Dale spent a summer in Sheridan, Wyoming, performing at the historic Sheridan Inn. He returned home to finish school while

juggling up to eight professional gigs a week. After high school, his musical journey took him to Springfield, Oregon, where he played in a trio, and then to Portland, where he joined Bob Blum’s four-piece band. With Blum’s group, Dale toured extensively, including a notable stint at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas, where he performed alongside country artist Freddie Hart, best known for the hit song, Easy Loving. The band later toured Alaska for seven months before heading to a warmer destination of Goldendale, Washington. While there, Dale enrolled in junior college and began working for Johnny Foster, who had recently acquired a recording studio. Dale’s band became the house band, touring across several states before eventually returning to Portland. He then joined a new trio with Doug Atwel and Ira Allen, touring for nearly a year before settling back in Portland and joining the Billie Raye Group. It was during the formative period that Dale met his future wife, Judy Jensen. After two years, they married and remodeled a home together in Portland,

welcoming their son Will. Will’s first birthday was celebrated in North Bend, Oregon, as the young couple wanted to leave the city for a smaller town and be close to Judy’s extensive family. Judy became a teacher and school administrator, while Dale explored several career paths before ultimately finding fulfillment as a building contractor. One of his proudest achievements was the beautiful home he and Judy designed and built together in North Bend. Though Dale found success in a variety of fields, music always remained his true passion. He continued to perform throughout his life, on stage at the Little Theater on the Bay, with the Bay Area Concert Band, and with numerous local musicians, some well-known. His dedication to the craft extended to helping young musicians attain their goals. Reflecting on his journey, Dale often said he had lived a wonderful life. For him, the heart of that life was simple and profound: family and music. These two passions defined him, brought him joy, and left a lasting legacy. Dale is survived by his wife, Judy;

Doris Forcia

James Hofmaier

Doris June was the Christmas gift that came early to Kenneth and Minola Horn in Eugene, OR. She had an active coastal childhood and earned her diploma from Siuslaw HS in 1955. She, from a long line of prolific letter writers and with her tiny, neat script, maintained life-long bonds with her classmates and will be missed at their upcoming 70th class reunion. After graduating from the inaugural class of Lane CC she had a long and fulfilling career as a home health care nurse, primarily in the west Lane County area, building meaningful relationships with generations of co-workers and those for whom she provided care. Her marriage to John Knutson in 1956 blessed her with two children who provided her with a lifetime of entertainment, challenges, and love. She was spirited, cheeky and sporty. Specifically playing tennis and volleyball well enough to continue to be competitive against opponents far her junior well into her mature years. She was a lover of the water, working at the Veneta pool, snorkeling, combing miles of sand for treasures, and a tan-skinned sun worshiper. During her 40-year marriage to James (Jim) Forcia he indulged her call to the beach, locally as well as yearly trips to Hawai’i. They shared a love of athletics, traveling for events and holding season tickets to multiple venues, and were a staple at Autzen from the start - Go DUCKS! She also came to share his interest in mining and lived part-time at the off-grid mining cabin he built on a claim near Wolf Creek and the ghost town of Golden, until the end. Nothing ever kept her down or held her back for long. She sought out and enjoyed the fellowship of the church congregations she became a part of in whatever community she found herself. She overcame any health challenges and lived independently: passing the time watching sports, playing cards and working puzzles,

A Funeral Mass for James “Jim” Hofmaier, 84, of North Bend, will be held at noon, Wednesday, October 15 at Saint Monica Catholic Church, 357 S 6th Street in Coos Bay. James was born July 3, 1940 in Crofton, Nebraska to Lawrence and Catherine Hofmaier. He passed away June 30,2025 in Coos Bay. Jim graduated from Crofton High School in Crofton, Nebraska and attended Wayne State College in Wayne, Nebraska. After graduating with a degree in Business Administration, Jim moved to Coos Bay to teach business classes at Marshfield High School, where he taught for 30 years. After his retirement, Jim enjoyed traveling extensively worldwide with his lifetime partner, Doris. Sunriver was one of his favorite places where he enjoyed skiing, golfing, hiking and biking. Jim was also a long-time member of the local Elks Lodge. Jim is survived by his lifetime partner, Doris Jones of North Bend; brother, Dennis Hofmaier of Downers Grove, Illinois; brother, Gordon and his wife, Judy Hofmaier of Mitchell, Nebraska and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and six brothers and sisters.

She especially appreciated and relied on her friends from her bowling league in North Bend for companionship and social engagement. Her last of countless beach walks before a final battle with Pancreatic cancer were spent near her home in beautiful Bandon by the Sea. She was preceeded in death by her son, Kenneth Knutson, both of her loving husbands, as well as her parents, and sister Diane Blair. She is survived by her devoted daughter Karmen Rayevich and her younger sister Donna Parsons. She also had many, many step, ex partner’s, 1/2 siblings, etc. “Relatives” that a modern family brings into one’s life.

I say ultimately because one was badly injured and the owners spent several hours trying to find a veterinarian to care for it, and ended up driving * * * I read a very sad story on to the Roseburg area where they were welcomed by Facebook Sunday, but it was even more of a learning Bailey Veterinary Clinic. Sadly, it was too late, but experience as I did not they were thankful for the know that deer were dangerous. It appears that a care that was shown to deer jumped a fence in them and their fur baby.

Major Joan Jean Craddock January 25, 1936 – July 18, 2025

Major Joan Jean Craddock, a retired and deeply devoted Salvation Army officer, was peacefully promoted to Glory on July 18, 2025, in Coos Bay, Oregon, at the age of 89. Born on January 25, 1936, in Impact, Washington, to Clarence and Marguerite Kilgore, Joan was the sixth of eight children. From an early age, she embraced a life of faith and service, dedicating her heart and ministry to The Salvation Army. Major Joan Craddock entered officership in 1956 and faithfully served the Lord and others through numerous appointments across the Western United States. While serving in one of her earliest postings in Billings, Montana, she met and later married fellow Salvation Army officer, Major Rodger Craddock. Together, they formed a remarkable ministry team, known for their compassion, commitment, and unwavering dedication to serving others until Major Rodger’s passing in 1989. Throughout her life, Major Joan remained a steadfast servant leader, touching countless lives with her wisdom, strength, and gentle spirit. Her ministry was marked by deep empathy and enduring love—always centered on glorifying God and lifting up those in need. She was preceded in death by her parents, all of her siblings, her beloved husband Rodger, and her daughter Donna Farfan. She is survived by her children, Rodger Craddock (Dena), Robert Craddock (Sondra), and Darlene Stapleford (John); eight grandchildren; and eight greatgrandchildren—all of whom were blessed by her love, guidance, and legacy of faith. A Celebration of Life service will be held at The Salvation Army church in Coos Bay, located at 1155 Flanagan Avenue, on Saturday, August 16 at 1:00 p.m. A graveside service will follow on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at Sunset Memorial Park in Eureka, California, beginning at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Salvation Army in honor of Major Joan’s lifelong commitment to serving God and others.

Mr. Donald “Don” Keith Morris, aged 90, of Beaverton, Oregon, passed away on Tuesday, July 15, 2025. Don was born on December 21, 1934, at home, in Bandon, Oregon to parents Arthur Willard Morris and Geneta Emily (Alsup) Morris. Don worked for Weyerhaeuser Timber Company for 45 years, starting his first job there when he turned 17. He spent 38 of those years working as a saw filer just like his father and grandfather. During his life Don was a bit of an entrepreneur: as a boy he ran a paper route and picked berries to sell to local restaurants. As he got older, he worked with his father and brothers on a rototilling business. As an adult he started a drapery/upholstery business and ran a fumigation business. He was an avid car and motorcycle fan and regularly fixed and traded cars. By his own account, he owned more than 100 cars in his lifetime! During the 50’s Don was President of the sport car club called the BRATS (Bay Rally and Touring Society). In the 60’s Don was a member of Little Theatre on the Bay. During the 70s he joined Parents without Partners where he met his third wife Karel and several lifelong friends. During the 80s Don and Karel took up square dancing with Skyloft Squares in North Bend. They danced in every corner of the state and held state offices in the OSSDA (Oregon State Square Dance Association). Don served five terms as the state historian for OSSDA. In the 90s Don took up golf and Don and Karel started taking their RV to Arizona during the winter months. Don retired in 1997 and would be the first to tell you that he didn’t know how he ever had time to work. When asked, Don would say that he was most proud of his kids and his blended family. Don married Ardis Joan Wilch in 1957. Together they had son Howard and daughters Tracey LeeAnn and Lori. Don married Jo Ann Britton in 1969. They had daughters Kathryn, Heidi, and Samantha. Don married Karel Collins in 1977. They had two sons Jeff and Brian. Don and Karel remained married until Karel passed in 2021. Even though he moved to Beaverton, Oregon to be closer to family in 2021 he still called North

Bend ‘home’. Don passed away with his children at his side. He will be missed by his large family who hope he is now doing a bit better than “fair to middling.” Don is survived by: brother Steve (Coralee) Morris and sister-in-law Lois Morris; sons Howard (Mary) Morris, Jeff Collins, and Brian (Amalia) Collins, daughters Lori (Jim) Esget, Samantha (Herman) Scales, Kathryn Marshall and Heidi Marshall; grandsons Benjamin Esget, Cody Morris, Logan Morris, Eric Acocella, Charles Scales and granddaughter Victoria Scales; greatgranddaughter Audrey Acocella; greatgrandsons Ethan Esget, Mitchell Esget and Eli Acocella. Don is preceded by his parents Arthur and Geneta Morris, wife Karel Ann Morris, brother Marvin Morris, and daughter Tracey LeeAnn Morris. A private interment will be held at Civil Bend Cemetery in Winston, Oregon this fall. If you wish to make a donation in memory of Don, please consider a contribution to First Christian Church of North Bend where Don was a member for many years.

more hatchery fish, ODFW and the tribe took to the river on a near-daily basis to make efforts in multiple areas for restoration and removal of invasive species. ODFW released this list of efforts conducted over the last four years in addition to the increased load handled by the Ferry Creek hatchery. Habitat restoration and protection: Collaborative projects between the Tribe, ODFW, SWCD in Coos County and other partners using federal and other grant funds to improve fish passage and restore habitat. • Electrofishing to remove smallmouth bass: Nearly 40,000 smallmouth bass have been removed from the Coquille River. • Conservation hatchery program: An additional hatchery program to supplement the wild population is underway, rearing some fish at Elk River Hatchery and releasing them in the upper basin at a size and time when they are less vulnerable to smallmouth bass. • Experimental hatchboxes: Unfed fry are being released from hatchboxes (aka streamside incubators) at several locations with genetic sampling of adult returns planned to help determine the experimental program’s effectiveness. Thanks to those efforts, Chinook and Coho levels were able to hit milestones that were necessary before opening up harvesting again. In 2022, hatchery number improved significantly and now those three-year-old, harvestable fish are expected to be returning in the thousands, ready for local fisherman and tribal members to take advantage of. “This will be for hatchery fish, that’ll be the harvest opportunity for Chinook.

In 2022, our hatchery releases hit our production level goals and they hadn’t been for several years prior to that, mostly because we couldn’t get brood due to the low wild returns,” explained Umpqua District Biologist Greg Huchko. “Now we feel confident that we’ve got the numbers coming back, which will afford that opportunity for everyone.” “Really, the partnership with the tribe, getting more volunteers and more concerted effort, we were able to get a lot more brood stock at Ferry Creek, which is below [Highway] 101.” Should the proposal be accepted by the state fish and wildlife commission during hearings on Aug. 15 and Sept. 12, it would create a “Hot Zone” or Harvest Opportunity Zone and anglers would be able to take home the first Chinook in years based on the following regulations: • Open for salmon fishing Sept. 13-Oct. 15 from the Hwy 101 bridge upstream to the Hwy 42S Sturdivant Park Bridge near the town of Coquille • Daily bag limit of two adult salmon (hatchery Chinook and wild coho only, but only one may be a wild coho) and a season limit of 3 wild coho The World will announce the results of those proposals following those hearings so stay tuned for more information in the coming months. “I’m thrilled we can celebrate this positive step in the right direction,” Colbert concluded. “I hope the collective efforts of the Tribe, ODFW and volunteers bring more results for salmon in the future, including for wild runs which remain very low.”

diligence required to ensure that these turbines won’t disrupt both our coastal economy and its ecology,” Gomberg told KOIN. “The Coastal Caucus stands in firm opposition to lease auctions at this time.” The Confederated Tribes of Coos Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians said the acreage in the proposal is within the tribe’s ancestral territory and are important areas for tribal fishing. “The tribe has consistently urged that BOEM delay moving forward with wind energy development until a better understanding is made of the impacts to fish, wildlife, the marine environment, and cultural resources important to the tribe,” Tribal Council Chair Brad Kneaper said in a release. “No one, including BOEM, has an understanding on

how wind development will impact the fragile marine environment.” Amid mounting opposition to offshore wind development off the coast of Oregon, the federal government announced Friday, Sept. 27, 2024, it was delaying the planned auction for the development of two wind energy sites as Gov. Tina Kotek urged the federal agency to halt all leasing plans and stop the auction, according to an Oregon Capital Chronicle report. “The developments call into question the potential for future development of offshore wind energy off the Oregon coast. The state’s coastal communities, seafood industry and tribes fiercely opposed the federal agency’s plans, which concerned the governor,” the Oregon Capital Chronicle report stated.
