Coos Bay City Council votes to adopt economic development strategic plan

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

During the September 2 Coos Bay City Council Meeting a motion to approve a new Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) passed. Thanks to a $50,000 grant from the Ford Foundation, the City contracted economic analysis consultants ECO Northwest to conduct an Economic Opportunities Analysis (EOA).

According to the City, this is to help comply with Statewide Planning Goals that require local municipalities to keep a multi-decade supply of land for economic development ready for commercial and industrial growth. To make sure that enough land is properly identified, an EOA is performed. Though it isn’t a requirement, the EOA can then be used to develop the EDSP, which helps guide policy decisions and goal setting.

To that end, representatives from ECO Northwest presented their findings and policy suggestions to the council during their work session on August 26 prior to the vote on September 2.

“Cities do an EOA to meet legal requirements. Oregon Statewide Planning Goal 9 is economy, and the EOA is supposed to be updated periodically to help the City

understand whether you have enough land to accommodate expected commercial and industrial growth,” explained ECO Northwest’s Beth Goodman.

“Its also very important information for understanding your existing conditions, and forecasting future conditions, that inform your economic development strategy, that can inform your land use policy, and help you with coordination…

[The EOA] is planning here for long term growth over the next 20 years. The EDSP focuses on a much shorter timeline, and implementation focus over the next few years.”

During a year long process, ECO Northwest has conducted focus groups and work sessions with City officials to get the necessary input and information needed to put together and present their findings.

The EOA suggests that Coos Bay is forecast to grow by 1,523 jobs by 2045, with the key areas of growth predicted to be in manufacturing, port-related industry, repair and maintenance, resident services, and visitor services.

According to the EOA, Coos Bay has 31 gross acres of buildable land for industrial purposes and 28 acres for commercial which they judge to be insufficient for compliance

with the Statewide Planning Goals. ECO Northwest suggests a further 36 acres for industrial and 30 acres for commercial development.

Achieving that healthy level of land is the job of the EDSP, which was presented by ECO Northwest’s Scott Goodman, who grew up in the area and spoke glowingly about it. The EDSP contained a vision statement which goes as follows:

“By 2045, Coos Bay will be a thriving place where people of all ages choose to live, work, visit, and get involved. The city will support a diverse range of family-wage jobs while residents, visitors, and businesses will invest their time, talents, and resources to strengthen the local economy, foster an engaged and welcoming community, and create vibrant shared public spaces.”

In order to practically achieve that vision, the EDSP breaks down into four main goals:

1. Strengthen and diversify the local economy

2. Make Coos Bay a destination to invest and work in

3. Align land use and infrastructure with economic priorities

4. Foster strategic partnerships and regional collaboration

Each of those four goals have been further broken down into tangible actions so that these aren’t nebulous ideas of how to achieve growth, but instead a genuine roadmap for getting where the City wants to go.

For instance, under Goal 1 the actions suggested include things like supporting the retention and expansion of local business, inventorying and promoting cityowned and underutilized sites for economic development, and exploring opportunities to support K-12 educational collaboration. That is just three of a long list of practical strategies the City has voted to follow.

ECO Northwest’s Brittany Bagent broke down some of those actions and showed off the astounding level of detail that went in to each suggestion:

“We really wanted to give staff enough information to really pick up this work and run with it… It explains the importance of each action, some next steps that staff or partners can take, what year we would recommend that this action begin, how to measure success, and what partners should be involved,” explained Bagent.

North Bend man arrested after gaining illegal access to restricted airport area

STAFF REPORT

A North Bend man was arrested early on Wednesday, September 3 after unlawfully gaining entry into a restricted area at Southwest Oregon Regional Airport and tampering with multiple of the aircraft stationed there. According to the North Bend Police Department (NBPD), they arrived on the scene at 5:31 a.m. to find that Melvin Myhill, 57, was trespassing and causing criminal mischief.

Airport staff had reported that several aircraft had been tampered with, including Myhill removing one from its hangar after gaining access to a pull-cart.

All in, it has been reported that 11 aircraft had been accessed, damaged, or tampered with. Myhill was observed inside of one of the private planes when the officers arrived and was arrested without incident. The NBPD called it a “Vandalism Incident” in their official communications on the subject.

“A total of 11 aircraft were affected, all of which were parked inside the commercial hangar or on the apron inside the secured airport boundary. All aircraft owners and operators have been

notified and advised to conduct thorough checks and inspections before moving their aircraft,” stated official communication from Southwest Regional.

Thankfully it seems no major damage was done, though one investigator found what was supposedly one of Myhill’s boots in an engine compartment.

Aircrafts were able to continue to move throughout the airport as normal, with no commercial, general, or cargo flights affected by the incident.

Myhill was taken into custody and subsequently released to be transported to Bay Area Hospital for a mental health evaluation.

This was after he was charged with the following 17 charges:

• 11 counts of Criminal Mischief in the First Degree

• 2 counts of Unauthorized Entry into a Motor Vehicle

• 1 count of Attempted

Unauthorized Entry into a Motor Vehicle

• 1 count of Burglary in the Second Degree

• 1 count of Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle

• 1 count of Criminal Trespass in the Second Degree

Though these are just the local charges, there is a chance that given it occurred on Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulated property that federal

charges will follow pending the ongoing, multi-agency investigation.

“The Southwest Oregon Regional Airport administration is working closely with the NBPD, FAA, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), U.S. Coast Guard, and Coos Aviation. Property inspections, security checks, and reporting are ongoing in coordination with federal and local authorities,” concluded the airport’s official statement on the matter.

The investigation remains ongoing with the authorities asking anyone with further information to reach out to NBPD about Case Number N20252370 at: (541) 756-3161

All in, the consultants put together over 140 pages of reports and strategies to help inform the City’s economic direction, with tons of actionable steps to work toward. That is no small part in the reasoning behind the council’s vote to adopt the Strategic Plan.

“I just want to say, I found this incredibly helpful for framing and graphing out exactly where we’re at, so I love this,” stated Councilor Jacob Niebergall during the voting.

For our curious readers, you can find the full ECO and EDSP documents in the agendas and minutes section of coosbayor.gov. Just look for the August 26 work session.

Reedsport’s Small-Town Character at Risk

I bought my home in Reedsport because of its charm—the trees, the open feel, and the small-town character that made it special. That’s why it is so disheartening that a massive three-bay garage was recently built directly behind my property. This oversized structure, something more suited to the country than the middle of a neighborhood, has completely blocked the tree line and view from my back porch. Now, to see even a sliver of the trees, I have to stand at the far end of my house. The garage has also taken away the sunlight I relied on for my garden and drastically reduced the value and livability of my property.

Beyond my own loss, this kind of unchecked building threatens the character of Reedsport itself. Our town’s beauty and small scale are what make it unique. I urge our leaders and neighbors to take a serious look at how these oversized structures affect us all and to preserve the Reedsport we love.

With a key Democratic senator recovering from surgery, the Oregon Senate will delay a planned vote on a transportation tax package for two weeks.

The House narrowly passed the 10-year, $4.3 billion package Monday, and a Senate vote was scheduled for Wednesday. But on Tuesday evening, Senate Democrats announced that they would delay the vote until Sept. 17, when they expect Sen. Chris Gorsek, D-Gresham, to be available.

Raising taxes requires support from 18 of 30 senators, and Democrats hold 18 seats. That means all Democrats need to be present if Republicans remain united against the transportation bill. Gorsek underwent back surgery in August and is recovering from complications of that surgery, Democratic leaders said.

“We have been in constant communication with Sen. Gorsek and his team as he works to recover from complications relating to a planned back surgery,” Senate President Rob Wagner, D-Lake

Oswego, said in a statement Tuesday. “My understanding is that it would be unsafe for Sen. Gorsek to be away from medical care at this time.”

A Sept. 17 vote means the bill cannot pass until

after Sept. 15, when hundreds of Oregon Department of Transportation workers were slated to be laid off pending legislative intervention. Kotek on Tuesday ordered layoffs be

delayed until Oct. 15 again only if the transportation tax package fails final passage in the Senate.

“This date will make sure there are no interruptions for the hundreds of workers whose jobs hang in the balance and the basic services that Oregonians rely on,” Kotek said in a statement.

July 1, because lawmakers failed to pass a transportation funding plan during the recent six-month legislative session. Kotek in July announced that the department would lay off 483 workers and close a dozen maintenance stations, but she postponed the effective date of layoffs after calling lawmakers back in a special session.

Wren Gilson, an ODOT senior application developer who received a layoff notice in July, held back tears while talking to reporters about an hour after learning of the delay.

Melissa Unger, executive director of the Service Employees International Union Local 503 that represents many of the affected employees, said workers appreciate the security of knowing no one will lose their jobs for another month, but that lawmakers need to do better.

“When one of our workers calls out sick, someone will step up and do their job,” she said. “And I think right now, we really believe that we need to give workers security. They have been facing unknown timelines, unknown votes for the past two months about whether they get to save their jobs.”

About half of Gilson’s team, who work on software for the Motor Vehicles Division and compile data, received layoff notices, and at least one person on the team left state employment because of the uncertainty over department funding.

The Oregon Department of Transportation faces an immediate $300 million shortfall in the two-year budget cycle that began

“I definitely feel like my job is being held hostage for some political game, and I just wish that there was something that I could do or say, or anything that would help get people to just make this happen,” Gilson said.

The House on Labor Day passed an amended version

of Kotek’s proposed plan, including a 6-cent gas tax increase, hikes to vehicle title and registration fees and temporarily doubling a statewide payroll tax for transit from one-tenth of 1% to two-tenths of 1%. Under that plan, the payroll tax increase would cost a worker who earns the statewide average salary of $68,283 about $68 per year, and drivers of passenger vehicles would pay $84 more on their twoyear car registration. The gas tax impact would vary depending on how many miles people drive and how fuel-efficient their cars are. https:// oregoncapitalchronicle. com/2025/09/02/oregontransportation-tax-voteand-layoffs-delayedbecause-of-senators-health/ Oregon Capital Chronicle is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.

South Coast Health Equity Coalition launches reproductive health workshop

From the South Coast Equity Coalition

Coos & Curry Counties, OR — September 3, 2025— The South Coast Health Equity Coalition (SCHEC) is proud to announce the launch of Launches The Reproductive Health Inclusion, Support, and Education CHW Workshop, a workshop where Community Health Workers will explore the relationship between justice work and health through expanding knowledge of historical policies that disproportionately impact various communities.

This workshop will take place October 11th, 12th, and 13th from 9am-4pm. If

you would like to attend, please register by following this link: http://bit. ly/4mNvV52

Our work is grounded in the powerful framework defined by SisterSong: Reproductive justice is the human right to maintain personal bodily autonomy, have children, not have children, and parent children in safe and sustainable communities.

This means our commitment goes far beyond access—it is about ensuring dignity, safety, autonomy, and full liberation for every person navigating reproductive decisions and systems of care.

We center the lived experiences and leadership

of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, because they are the most impacted by systemic injustice—and the most essential to transformative solutions. In rural spaces like Coos and Curry Counties, where isolation, stigma, and under-resourcing are real, this work is not only vital—it is urgent. We are committed to building community-rooted systems of care that honor identity, protect choice, and affirm life. This is about more than surviving—it’s about thriving, together. For more information, please contact: zaria@southcoastequity. org

Oregon expands e-bike access, adds safety requirements

Press Release

Electric-assist bicycles (e-bikes) are now allowed on trails where other bicycles are allowed unless specifically prohibited at Oregon State Parks.

E-bikes are also allowed on the ocean shore on wet sand except where specifically restricted.

Previously, e-bikes were only allowed on trails that were at least 8 feet wide. Signs will be posted on trails and areas where e-bikes are not allowed, and the trails and areas will be listed on the Oregon State Parks website.

Where e-bikes are not allowed:

On the dry sand along the ocean shore, including soft sand, dunes and everything above the natural hightide line

On the wet sand below the natural high-tide line in snowy plover habitat on the ocean shore during nesting season (March 15 to Sept. 15).

The updated rules also include stronger and clearer language on safety, particularly operation around other visitors, pets, children and equestrians.

“We ask that all riders

ride responsibly, stay on designated trails and yield to others at Oregon State Parks and the ocean shore. Please keep operating speeds low as people might not be aware that riders are approaching. These are multi-use pathways where they will share the trail with many other users,” said Aaron Raines, park manager at Stub Stewart State Park.

The rules apply to Class 1, 2 and 3 e-bikes as defined by the Oregon State Legislature. Anything not included in those e-bike classifications is considered a motor vehicle and is not allowed on trails.

E-bike classification:

Class 1: Provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 mph.

Class 2: May be propelled by its motor without a rider pedaling and ceases to provide assistance once the bicycle reaches a speed of 20 mph.

• Class 3: Provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches

the speed of 28 mph, and is equipped with a speedometer.

While education remains the primary focus for rule enforcement at Oregon State Parks, enforcement rangers do have the authority to issue citations, which carry fines starting at $100 for significant or repeated violations of park rules.

Safety tips for sharing the path:

Yield to pedestrians, horses and slower users

• Announce yourself when passing (“On your left”) Ride at a safe, controlled speed, especially on corners or in high-use areas

Slow down near pets, children and equestrians

Stay on designated trails: do not ride off-trail

• Be prepared to stop: e-bikes are heavier and often faster than regular bikes so increase your following distance to allow for more time to stop and slow down.

For more information and a list of trails where e-bikes are prohibited, visit Oregon State Parks website at https://stateparks.oregon. gov/index.cfm?do=v. page&id=131

Compensation: We offer a competitive salary plus commission, along with a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, paid vacation and sick leave, holiday pay, mileage, and phone, among other benefits.

North Bend unveils new public art honoring community’s heritage

From the City of North Bend

Under a clear coastal sky, residents, city leaders, and community partners gathered Thursday morning at the North Bend Visitor Information Center for the unveiling of two striking new public art pieces.

The sculptures, carved from Port Orford cedar by Reedsport chainsaw artist Whitney Harder, were donated to the City of North Bend by longtime supporters Alan and Mary Ann Whitney. The artwork depicts a fisherman and a logger—two figures deeply tied to North Bend’s history of fishing and timber.

“This project transforms what was once a patch of grass into a vibrant feature that tells our story,” said Stephanie Wilson, Community Development Manager. “Public art enriches our environment, creates a welcoming place for our community and visitors, and celebrates local talent.”

Community Investment Through Visitor Dollars

The site preparation— including new paving, landscaping, and supporting infrastructure— was completed by the City’s Streets and Parks Department. Importantly, this work was not paid for with local property taxes, but with Transient Lodging Tax (TLT) revenue, which in Oregon is collected from visitors who stay in hotels, motels, RV parks, and short-term rentals within city limits.

By law, TLT funds must be reinvested in projects that promote tourism and enhance visitor experiences. In this case, those visitor dollars ensured that the public art installation not only creates a cultural landmark for residents but also an attractive gateway for travelers discovering downtown North Bend.

From Ferry Road Park to Downtown North Bend

The wood used in the

carvings also carries a local story. The Port Orford cedar came from trees felled in Ferry Road Park as part of routine maintenance and public safety management. Rather than see the valuable timber go to waste, Alan Whitney envisioned repurposing it into works of art that would honor the community’s heritage.

“North Bend is built on fishing and logging—those are iconic to this area,” Whitney explained. “We wanted to create something lasting that honors that heritage.”

Art, Wayfinding, and Storytelling

The carvings sit adjacent to the downtown Wayfinder sign, which features a QR code directing visitors to a landing page with artist and donor information. This addition strengthens North Bend’s wayfinding system, helping visitors navigate downtown while connecting them to the city’s culture and history.

Artist Whitney Harder, who began carving in 2014 and now works independently from her studio in Reedsport, expressed gratitude for the collaboration. “This was the culmination of so many people’s efforts—from the Whitney family’s vision to the city crews who prepared the site. It’s an

honor to have my work reflect North Bend’s story.”

The unveiling marks another milestone in the city’s revitalization of the Visitor Information Center campus, which now serves as both a gateway for travelers and a gathering space for locals.

“This was truly a community effort,” Wilson added. “And it’s just the

beginning of what we envision for this space.”

The sculptures are permanently on display at the North Bend Visitor Information Center, 745 California Avenue. Visitors are encouraged to stop by, take in the artwork, and explore more about North Bend’s past and present through the Wayfinder program.

As I See It

“What was Bandon like before the fire? This question has been asked so many times, especially by some of the many new people who are establishing residence here, that I have decided to publish an oldtime picture (first photo) and give such information as is available.

“The first picture was taken in May 1897, according to inscription on the photograph. The cameraman must have stood part way up Tupper rock pretty close to where the Franklin auto court was located. The view is toward town. The only part of Franklin auto court that remains today is the original home which has been refurbished and is owned by Southern Coos Hospital board member Kay Hardin.

On the left in the foreground is Tupper rock (second photo) which at that tine stood some 60 or more feet perpendicularly above ground.

There was a stairway leading to the top where a bandstand had been built and the city “brass band” gave Sunday afternoon concerts.

The rock is believed of glacial origin and is much harder than any other rock in this section. The federal government took over the rock and established a quarry, using the rock in local jetty construction. Today, instead of rising 60 to 80 feet above the surface, it is a hole in the ground of equal distance, now occupied by Pacific View assisted living center.

The roadway in the foreground is now part of Ocean Drive.

The large building to the right is the Ocean House, one of the very first hotels in Bandon. It was a popular stopping place in its day. It was destroyed by fire a few years after this picture was taken. Travelers going north and south, by river boat, on horse-stage or on horseback, found this a convenient stopping place.

The third photo, taken in about 1983 of Bandon’s Coast to Coast Peewee (Little League) team, was loaned to me by one of the

team members as locals will be familiar with most of the names.

In back, from left, are Coach Mike Lafayette, Billy Fox, Lars Arvidson, Mike Hurley, Ron Riley, Kevin McCasland, Dean Gaffer, Daniel Osborne, Wade Lester, Dave Lake, William Peabody, Tim Vincent, Ron Hunt and (barely visible) Coach Carl Arvidson. In front, from left, are Troy Lafayette, Mikel Erdman, Travis Hultin, Bill Peters, Alfred Linke and Sean Hart. Lafayette was described as the “Coach of all Coaches.”

The Bandon Police Department is warning the public about a particular scam. A team of individuals are working to scam people by hacking into home computers presenting themselves as technical advisors for different computer companies, demanding money.

“This particular scam is troubling because members of the scam are arranging physical meetings with the victims to collect cash,” said the police department release. “At least one face to face cash exchange between one unknown suspect and the victim has been confirmed. Bandon officers even confronted the suspect via a webcam in a victim’s home to prevent a large cash exchange.

“If you feel you are being solicited for such a scam, contact us at 541-3472241,” said the department spokesman.

* * * Last Thursday evening, about 8, Bandon Fire, Bandon Police and Bay Cities Ambulance were on scene for a vehicle accident in the area of 1095 Oregon avenue, where an elderly female was said to have run a red light. A Facebook post indicated the unnamed woman had been transported by ambulance to the hospital. Another poster said the woman appeared to have passed out at the stop light before the accident occurred.

*

* * Last week, the Coos County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook a notice to the community

By Mary Schamehorn

concerning the previous arrest and subsequent release of Brian Tenney.

“In the last 24 hours, the Coos County Jail has received numerous calls regarding Brian Tenney, owner of the West Coast Game Park Safari. We want to clarify that Mr. Tenney was released on Aug. 25 after posting bail. Per Oregon law, the sheriff’s office cannot deny release when bail conditions are met. Thanks for understanding.”

Ordinarily a person can be released by posting 10 percent of the bail amount.

There were a number of posts on Facebook Sunday from Republican legislators who, along with the Democrats, had been called into special session on Labor Day weekend by Governor Tina Kotek to restore funding for ODOT. But, she did not attend the special session to lobby for what has been called one of the largest tax hikes in Oregon history, having said earlier that she had the votes to pass the bill, without a single Republican vote.

* * * There will soon be three new members of the Bandon Library Advisory Board to replace three long-serving members, Karen Thomas, Jamie Collins and Horty Joyce.

The new board members will be Jim Stott Jr., who has lived here over 25 years; Jon Lang, a retired emergency room registered nurse; and Danielle Vosburg of Parkersburg, who is involved in the behavioral health service.

* * * The controversial Road diet, which is part of the Transportation System Plan, was the subject of a public hearing at the Tuesday, Sept. 2, city council meeting.

Earlier the planning commission approved the recommendation of the planning staff/city manager to recommend approval of the TSP with the alternate which would narrow the north bound lanes through town to one, while maintaining two lanes going south. The planning commission was assured that there could be no change to the highway configuration without a vote of the city council.

The Road Diet issue came before the council in 2018, and on the first vote, it was approved. But a huge outcry from Bandon business owners and others urged the council to revisit the issue. We did and it was turned down. Four members of that

council are still in office.

One of the loudest voices against any type of Road Diet was then Fire Chief Lanny Boston, who said the congestion would be a nightmare for emergency vehicles.

The purpose of the recommendation by ODOT is to comply with the Oregon Bicycle Bill. The 2000 adopted TSP had an adopted bike route, which leaves highway 101 and comes down Riverside Drive, turns onto First Street, goes up Edison Avenue hill, out Ocean

and

Drive and Beach Loop Road and connects with Highway 101 at Beach Junction.

Staff has been advised that the City won’t be eligible for state funding for other transportation projects if we don’t have an approved TSP. However, two of the big issues in the TSP approved 25 years ago were a traffic light at Seabird and an east-west road from 20th Street to Beach Loop. And neither is even close to occurring.

* * * I know it seems like I am “flagging a dead horse,” but last week I received a call from a local insurance agent who said the fire insurance payment on one of my homes was past due. A couple of months ago, I received a similar notice about my car insurance. I had received neither bill, which is probably languishing in a dead-letter file at some remote post office (hopefully not here). I have an 850 credit rating (the highest possible) and I fear that I may be dinged for late payment.... for bills that I have not received. And they’re not just late, they never arrive! Maybe it will be like the Christmas card I received from the late Betty Fedje ... three months after it was mailed.

* * * The Meet and Greet for Sept. 9 is Southern Coos Hospital and Health Center’s new Grateful Patient Program. The Bandon History Museum will present the Sept. 16 program, and food assistance will the topic for the Sept. 23 program. The program begins at noon at Bandon fisheries Warehouse but people often gather at 11:30 to mingle and enjoy lunch.

* * * I understand long-time

Bandon High School history teacher Kate Hawthorne has resigned from the district, and will be part of a new Winter Lakes-type school for the Pacific High district.

* * * Don’t forget that Highway 101 will be closed from 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19, to Sunday evening, Sept. 21, six miles south of Bandon. There is essentially no detour.

Anne Perl

When King George VI was taken ill, the then Princess Elizabeth stood in for him on the first of many tours of Canada. On a visit to Winnipeg in 1951, the Princess was met by an enthusiastic crowd including 12-year-old Margaret Ripfl. Margaret’s parents had emigrated from Austria to Winnipeg between the wars, but following the death of her father, Matthew in 1952, Margaret, known to friends and family as Greta, moved to Medford, Oregon with her mother and sisters to be near family.

After graduating from Medford High School in 1957 with Honors, Greta married William (Bill) Perl Jr and began to travel widely. They first moved to San Francisco, California where she attended the San Francisco Art Institute and where their son Billy arrived in 1961. By 1963, Bill was in active duty in the US Air Force and they were stationed in Germany where Frederick was born. A further transfer in 1967 resulted in a move to Sacramento, California and the birth of their daughter, Pamela.

The life of an Air Force officer’s wife was one of constant moves and challenges. In 1970, Hawaii would follow where Greta volunteered as a dental assistant for the Red Cross and continued her love of art by painting scenes of the Pacific Ocean. Whilst in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Greta took classes at the University of Wyoming and learned to ride horses along with her children where they rode in the famous Cheyenne Frontier Days Grand Parade. Greta volunteered at the F.E. Warren AFB Museum as a tour guide and was active in the PTA.

Following Bill’s retirement from the military in 1979, the family moved to Lakeside, Oregon. Greta attended Southwestern Oregon Community College and obtained her board Med Aide certification before taking up a role at Life Care Center. During her 15-year nursing career, Greta received several commendations and appreciation letters from families that she had cared for. Greta had a brilliant smile and was loved by all!

Alongside art, design and fashion, Greta loved playing the piano, sewing and spending time with her family. Her love of music included Classical, John Denver, Willie Nelson and Simon & Garfunkel. Greta was a faithful Christian who sang in the church choir at the Lakeside Community Presbyterian Church.

Greta’s passing was preceded by her beloved husband, Bill. She is remembered by her sisters, Rosalinde Burgess and Hedy Andersch; her eldest son, William along with his wife Natalia and children Nicholas and Marcella of Vancouver, WA; her son, Frederick, wife Sandi and their son Carson of Bend, Oregon; and daughter, Pamela, her husband Jeremy and daughter, Isabelle, of London, England.

We love you mother. May you rest in peace. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, September, 13, 2025 at 1.00pm at the Coos Bay Chapel, 685 Anderson Avenue in Coos Bay, Oregon. In lieu of flowers, please make

The Chamber Minute

HB 3991 Transportation Package Update

BY ROSEY THOMAS

Rosey here. I’m speaking to you today with a heavy heart and genuine concern for our rural business community.

Yesterday, the Oregon House passed HB 3991, a transportation funding bill that now heads to the Senate. While it’s intended to fund critical infrastructure and stave off layoffs at ODOT, it also carries provisions that hit rural areas— like Coos County—especially hard:

• Fuel tax increases: the state gas tax jumps from 40¢ to 46¢ per gallon, starting in January.

• Registration and title fees rise sharply—including an extra $30 for electric vehicles.

• The payroll tax doubles from 0.1% to 0.2%, albeit temporarily, adding

direct costs to businesses and workers. EV and hybrid drivers will now face a permile road usage charge, unless they pay a flat annual fee.

• The Governor gains the authority to appoint the ODOT Director, reducing legislative checks and oversight.

Let’s be clear: this package places the burden squarely on hardworking businesses and their employees in our rural communities to address problems— like graffiti cleanup and transit funding— that originate elsewhere.

Here in Coos County, I’m representing 450+ businesses. I can’t help but worry: How many of them can survive these hikes? How many jobs are at risk as businesses scramble to adapt? How many families will see shrinking paychecks while the cost of living keeps climbing?

Despite this, we will not stand down.
