Opening up the Pit: Behind Coos Bay’s bourgeoning punk scene

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

One wouldn’t normally expect a small, conservative corner of Oregon’s South Coast to be a hot spot for travelling punk and metal bands. But thanks to the efforts of Rocky Harmon (42) and a passionate group of friends and volunteers, that scene has been materializing over the last two years.

“There was nothing here. We have like 6 or 7 cover bands that all play the same exact songs, and they’re only at the bars. And these kids around town were getting in so much trouble,” said Rocky about what inspired him to try his hand at organizing and promoting shows. “And I just wanted to give them some music. I wanted to see if I could pull one of these shows off.

“This is for the kids ultimately. Just a safe space for them to call theirs.”

While the uninitiated think

of punk spaces as rough-edged, spike adorned and insular groups, anyone who’s been lucky enough to be a part of those scenes will attest to just how accepting, protective, and righteous they can be. Especially in an alienating time, with spiking suicide rates for trans, queer, and indigenous folks, and where communal spaces to be yourself are at a premium, their existence is more important than ever.

“We take care of each other. Pick ‘em up when we fall,” said Rocky.

And Rocky knows this firsthand, as he explained to me at So It Goes Coffeehouse on a Friday afternoon. The Las Vegas native is an old school punk, complete with pink mohawk, and a customary, well-loved denim battle vest. Rocky knows the scene intimately and knows how important it can be for at-risk youth.

“I grew up in the scene. My

very first show was in 1993, with NOFX and Face to Face.

I’ve been punk rocking my entire life, since I was 8 years old,” said Rocky. “I grew up in a

rough way out there, but I made connections.”

Starting back in the summer of 2023, Rocky began putting on shows that brought travelling

groups to an area that doesn’t make many tour schedules.

An interview with the new chair of Bay Area Hospital Board: Simon Alonzo Jr.

BY NATE SCHWARTZ Editor

Amidst a tumultuous time for rural hospitals across our nation, Bay Area Hospital (BAH) has been in an existential grapple. Declining insurance reimbursement rates, loss of services, and an (ironically) unhealthy general environment for healthcare in the United States led the 50-year independent hospital to the brink of defaulting on its loans and losing that independent status.

In March, with the board and executive team desperate for funding options, they signed a letter of intent to enter negotiations with the private equity owned healthcare management firm Quorum Health. Which, pending those negotiations, was poised to complete a takeover of the hospital. While the board insisted that injection of capital was the only way to save a hospital that was hemorrhaging money, concerned community members worried that it would cease to be the same hospital in the first place. Employees worried for their jobs, and regular patients for their critical services. This was the context that led into May’s elections for the BAH Board of Directors, where a coalition of four local candidates ran on the promise they would do everything they could to keep the hospital in the

hands of the community. And the community responded. Simon Alonzo Jr., Kyle Stevens, Brandon Saada, and Dr. Jon Uno flipped four of the six seats on the board, and as of July 9, now represent a majority on the Board. They used that majority to elect Alonzo Jr as the new Chair.

None of those aforementioned challenges have gone away. In fact, with the current administration’s new budget bill passing both houses of the legislature, government insurances will be seeing huge slashes in funding that will put rural hospitals in an even more precarious position. But, with new life on the Board, there is some optimism that a genuine local solution could be found. We caught up with new Chair of the Board Alonzo Jr to learn his background and get his perspective on the road that lies ahead. That interview in full can be found below:

The World – First off, to get a little bit of background, could you tell me what your ties are to the South Coast?

Simon Alonzo Jr. – “My family moved here when I was nine. We’ve lived in Coos County since then. I went to and graduated here from Marshfield and went to SWOCC for a while and decided I was really in that entrepreneurial spirit, so I’ve been self-employed

since before I was 18. Over the years, I’ve been involved in several companies [my business partner and I] have owned. We own a company called Primal Investments that we started. It’s basically a small business and real estate investment company, so we buy or manage small businesses locally, and we buy and manage real estate here in town. We have a property management company, things like that. So, day-to-day, we’re really involved in leadership and operations, we have a team of about 45 or 50 between all of our avenues here.

And, a couple years ago I decided I really wanted to be more involved in the community aspect of things, so I joined a couple of non-profit boards. When the hospital came up, and I saw what was going on I decided it was something I wanted to help with and see if I could make a difference.”

W

– That was my next question, is what inspired you to run for the Board? Tuo join this sort of coalition of four members that ended up getting elected?

SAJ – “So, two of the members I had actually never met before. I’d met Dr. Uno randomly at one point, and Kyle [Stevens] I’d met him through one of my companies a little bit. But I didn’t join with them, I didn’t come in and say ‘I’m running with

you guys to overthrow the board’ or anything.

I’m really big on showing up. You hear a lot of people talking about problems in the community, but they don’t want to step up and make a difference. And you hear rumors, and how things should have been, and I figured that a fresh perspective and a younger generation could maybe bring some different perspective to the table.

I really enjoy solving problems. And really, in my day-to-day, I do a lot of acquisition and problem solving, quick on your feet operations. I figured that this is something I’d be willing to take on, to help fix. It was just a problem

that I saw, and a need that I wanted to jump on.

On the flip side, as a business owner who really enjoys the South Coast and wants to continue developing there, and buying there, and living there, the hospital is one of our largest economic drivers to the region. It has 1100 employees. It produces so much for the local economy, so I didn’t want to see it fail. I wanted to be part of fixing the problem.”

W

– With all four of you getting elected, and campaigning toward trying to find that local

Guest Column

By J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

The summer vacation season is in full swing. Millions of Americans are heading to the wilderness to get away from it all. Imagine this: You’ve pitched your tent and set up camp along a fresh stream. You look over, and there, camping next to you, are Bill Gates, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, just hanging out together.

No, it’s not the start of a joke. It really happened once. Well, the 1910s version, anyway.

In the early days of the 20th century, a new type of business titan was rising in America. Henry Ford was mass producing an automobile that typical Americans could afford. Harvey Firestone made the newfangled rubber tires that got newly mobile Americans where they wanted to go. And Thomas Edison’s inventions gave them all light, sound and power.

These three men were very rich, very famous, and — here’s the amazing part — they were friends who enjoyed hanging out together.

It all started in 1914. Edison, the man who gave us electric

HOLY COW! HISTORY:

Hitting the road with Henry, Harvey and Tom

lightbulbs, phonographs, movies and too many other inventions to list, wanted to relax. He retreated to the hills of upstate New York, taking John Burroughs, the legendary naturalist and conservationist, with him. They hiked, ate outdoors, and passed the nights in tents. Edison had a blast.

Telling Ford about it later, he mentioned it would be fun to round up the gang and head into the Great Outdoors next year.

Henry Ford took the ball and ran with it. He invited Edison, Burroughs and their BFF Firestone for an adventure. But Ford had more in mind than a simple summer vacation.

The man neighbors once sneeringly called “Crazy Henry” was a promotional genius. He knew four famous Americans traveling off the beaten path would make headlines and get people talking. Plus, he wanted to inspect roads and travel conditions in remote areas to see how well his Model-T cars performed in them.

The group quickly dubbed themselves “The Vagabonds.” But when they set out on their trip in early August 1915, they didn’t leave like wandering nomads. Far from it.

There were cars. Lots and lots of cars. (And you can guess which automaker most of them came from.) Because there was staff.

Lots and lots of staff. There were personal assistants (these were powerful figures on Wall Street after all) and cooks, photographers to document the adventure, mechanics in case the cars broke down, and chauffeurs to drive them all. There were trucks for hauling the tents and cots, and stoves. There were water tanks, iceboxes and portable bathtubs. And there was a ton of food as well, everything from gourmet goodies to bacon and eggs. Plus, a large supply of Havana cigars and liquid refreshments.

A century before the word was ever used, these celebrity businessmen were “glamping.”

The caravan roared out of the Midwest into Pennsylvania, on to West Virginia, then down to Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Along the way, the Vagabonds fell into a routine.

First, there was a base camp, where all non-VIPs stayed. Tents were then pitched for the star attractions. Edison brought early portable batteries and strung up electric lights. Burroughs could be counted on to cast a line in any nearby body of water (he always brought his trusty fishing rod with him) and led the group on nature walks, explaining plant and wildlife details along the way.

Edison always had a phonograph playing, and boxes filled with gadgets to tinker with, which he did late into the night.

Libraries support freedom

By JENNY BROWNFIELD and EMILY CHURCH

“I have an unshaken conviction that democracy can never be undermined if we maintain our library resources and a national intelligence capable of utilizing them.”

FranklinD.Roosevelt, inalettertopublisher Herbert Putnam.

This month we celebrate 249 years of freedom and democracy and the Coos Bay Public Library (CBPL) is proud to play a small role in supporting that freedom. We are living in a period of human history known as the “Age of Information,” when popular access to diverse ideas has made cross-pollination of knowledge possible to an extent our species has never before experienced. In the United States, our ability to access information, even views that are critical of the government,

was enshrined by our founders under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. This amendment guarantees all persons on US soil five freedoms, the first of which is freedom of speech – to express one’s opinions and ideas without government censorship or control. The U.S. Supreme Court has determined that all Americans have the right to receive information and ideas – the right to our intellectual freedom. Public libraries play a big part in ensuring that everyone, regardless of economic status, race, gender, or other classification, can exercise their intellectual freedom through access to information on a wide range of topics and from many viewpoints. The staff at Coos Bay Public Library (CBPL) are proud to provide library materials including books, videos, audio books, newspapers, and magazines that empower our patrons to discover information and ideas according to their interests. We stock and maintain nonfiction materials that address topics ranging from computer science to cooking to local history

Letters to the Editor

In Response to ‘Two Protests”

Mr. Holman’s letter isn’t just disingenuous — it’s blatantly dishonest. Painting the June 14th “No Kings” demonstration as hateful and vulgar while glorifying the so-called “flag wave” is a textbook example of partisan gaslighting.

Let’s be clear: the “No Kings” protest was a peaceful, organized response to rising authoritarianism and the cult-like, increasingly militant rhetoric surrounding Donald Trump — a man openly attempting to place himself above the law. Citizens showed up to defend democracy, not to “cuss at children” or “ask for murder.” That accusation is slanderous, unfounded, and dangerously inflammatory.

And if you want to talk about vulgarity, let’s not pretend the MAGA crowd has clean hands. From Confederate flags to misogynistic bumper stickers, from “Let’s Go Brandon” chants to Proud Boys photo ops — the far-right has spent years perfecting the art of public indecency. But I suppose when it’s your side doing the shouting, suddenly it’s “patriotism,” right? The hypocrisy is staggering. You accuse others of intolerance while expecting marginalized communities to sit quietly as you wave the banners of insurrectionists. You demand civility, yet demonize your neighbors with lies and projection. The truth? You don’t want “respectful” protests. You want obedient silence. And we’re done being silent. If the “No Kings” protest made you uncomfortable

and furnish fabulous stories by authors that take us on adventures solving mysteries, traveling the globe, or even exploring alien worlds. We work to ensure that the flow of information and ideas is plentiful, easily accessible, and available to everyone.

While we know that not every item will appeal to every person, our goal is to have something for everyone and if we don’t- we want to get it for you! Though we have over 120,000 items at CBPL and many more in the Coastline Library Consortium, we invite you to notify our library staff if you aren’t able to locate a specific book, video, or other resource you’re looking for. We will do our best to track down the materials that you want or need, either through purchase or facilitating an inter-library loan.

If our modern era has taught us anything, it’s that too many sources of information can be deeply overwhelming. The sheer amount of information available to you through print and electronic resources can make it all the more difficult to find the RIGHT information.

— good. That’s exactly what protest is supposed to do: confront injustice, not coddle power. If anyone’s behavior was “horrible,” it’s the ongoing attempt to whitewash one movement while vilifying another. That’s not just hypocrisy, Perry. That’s propaganda. We all need to do better. But let’s start with honesty.

Dear Editor, It’s funny how our government held a big press conference for National Ice Cream Day, with officials praising ice cream like it’s a health food. They don’t mention how the saturated fat and sugar fit into RFK Jr.’s “Make America Healthy Again” plan. Instead, they celebrated removing oil-based dyes from food. Maybe the food dye lobby isn’t as generous with campaign contributions as dairy. As a concerned citizen, I can’t help but think about the cows — gentle mothers whose babies are taken so we can have their milk turned into ice cream and other dairy products. The good news? We don’t need to choose between enjoying ice cream and being kind to animals. There are countless plant-based ice cream options that are better for your health, better for the planet, and—best of all—they don’t harm animals.

The highlight was the long, relaxed conversations, as four American legends relaxed under the stars and talked about everything under the sun. These weren’t TED Talks; they were free-ranging exchanges of ideas. Production, automation and technology were favorite subjects. So was philosophy, politics and the most nagging question of existence, the meaning of life. These were some of the great visionaries of the early 20th century, and in the comfort of trusted friends, they could talk openly and freely. Consider this exchange.

Ford: “I believe the soul returns. How else could I know the things I know?”

Edison: “The universe doesn’t care what you believe — but you should.”

Everyone had a blast; so much fun, in fact, they decided to do it again in 1916. And in 1917. And then every year thereafter.

Word of the celebrity confabs spread (due in no small part to Ford’s promotion). Crowds began following them, with a heavy press presence. Little wonder, then, that even presidents Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge each dropped by their campsite. Nothing good lasts forever, and so it was with the Vagabands. Burroughs’ death in 1921 took a lot of the joy out of it for Edison. The ever-larger crowds of

Still, it’s remarkable to think about a century later. An assemblage of brilliance, living like kings while pretending to be middle-class campers, holding one deeply profound conversation after another. It’ll be a long time until we see anything like that again.

As the great Albert Eistein said, “The only thing that you absolutely have to know is the location of the library.”

Starting with legacy metal group Hemlock on a popup stage at local clothing exchange Time Bomb. Owner Libbi Brigham happened into So It Goes during the interview and the two chatted like family. He said he begged her for ten years to let him host a show, which she confirmed with a laugh.

“My very first show was with Hemlock, they’re a Las Vegas band. I reached back home for some musical love,” said Rocky. “And I got Hemlock to come out on a Tuesday night of all nights. We threw it over at Time Bomb over here, and we had 295 people show up on a Tuesday night. That was my very first show here in town.

“When I first started this, it was a lot of ‘f**k yous’ and ‘no ways’,” explained Rocky. “Every person I talked to was ‘no dude, absolutely not’. I reached out to every single person I could to try and get a venue around here. It turned around with my second show with The Disorderlies, and the kids liked the punk way more than the metal.”

It’s that trademark persistence that has kept the rock rolling. Despite a lot of rejection, Rocky pushed through and now shows are happening in Coos Bay with increasing frequency. On Saturday July 5, travelling groups The Scoffs and The Karens tore down the house at Global Inn, alongside a local band playing their first gig: A Wreck in Progress.

“They started this band because of what I’m doing here,” he proudly slid a patch for Wreck in Progress across the table. “These are great friends of mine that help me with every one of these shows.”

That friendly environment extends to all who attend the shows, where sound protection in the form of ear plugs are available for free, as are products for sexual wellness and safe use.

Local businesses and artists are invited to table free of charge to help ensure the only thing spreading is the wealth.

“Small businesses, local businesses. I try to help out in any way I can. Because ultimately, that’s what keeps the community going,” said Rocky. “Small businesses, painters, artists, anything like that, I love to just let them be at the shows. I don’t charge them anything so they can try to make some money. I want everybody to get a piece of this.”

option, maybe trying to avoid a private equity takeover, what kind of mandate do you think that gives the board?

SAJ – “I think the biggest thing that it gives the board is the transparency that we need to provide to the community. The community, I think, really backed us because we not only ran on not wanting to see [the hospital] go to a for-profit entity, we ran on the transparency that we wanted to see to be able to make those informed decisions.

So right now, we’re trying to sift through the thousands of pages of documents. I mean, we got sworn in on Tuesday, so we’ve only had about 10-11 days’ worth of time to review some of this confidential information. But I think first and foremost, it gives us the opportunity to vet every option that is at the table for the community, and we can also vet what a deal with an outside partnership could be. Because we’re in such a fragile time and

Those free protective measures are available thanks to connections Rocky has made with non-profit Punk Rock Saves Lives (PRSL). The group, focused on mental health advocacy and harm reduction practices, channel the raw energy of punk rock into compassion for their fellow community members.

“We took a major jump on with PRSL. They want to register with all of our shows now. They advocate for everything from suicide awareness to safe use,” said Rocky. “What their main goal is, is bone marrow donations.”

Rocky swabbed to be put on the registry for the first time during NOFX’s final tour and made even further connections with volunteers trying to open an Oregon chapter of the nationwide organization. Major names are signed up to help promote their charity efforts and a partnership helps put eyes on Coos Bay and bring more bands to the area.

Connections like that make everything happen. July 19 saw Seattle’s Kapslok and Portland powow punks 1876 take the stage with returning duo Cut-Rate Druggist out of Oakland. Rocky met the 1876 members through a connection with PRSL at that NOFX tour that allowed him all access backstage. The morning of our conversation he was on the phone with Fat Mike, member of NOFX and founder of record label Fat Wreck Chords, who Rocky calls one of his childhood heroes.

“I got the phone numbers I needed to get,

still learning, so we have to weigh all options, to look at everything.

W

– Has some of that information that you’re now privy to illuminated a path forward? Do you see a way to execute on those campaign promises? What are the challenges standing in the way?

SAJ – “I wouldn’t say that it’s illuminated a specific path forward, but it has illuminated some red flags that we’ve asked the executive team to look into.

One of the things that I’ve been frustrated at in our last work session was how much we’ve been spending on outsourced billing specifically.

I do think there’s ways to get our budget in line to appease the bank. Because the number one thing here, and the reason I can’t give you a solid answer on the path forward is, I want to keep this hospital under the local control and local management as much as we possibly can. But before we can even look at those options, the first thing that we have to do is appease the bank. We owe the bank a large amount of money and we’re in default, and this isn’t the first time

and the rest is history on that. I bugged ‘em, that’s how I do this. I just bug everyone,” he said with a smirk.

A portion of proceeds from the 1876 show will be going to the Yellow Bird Life Ways Center, which provides youth programming to members of the Northern Cheyenne Nation, which the band represents alongside the Blackfeet Nation.

The group sings in both of those tribes’ native languages.

As previously mentioned, rates of suicide on indigenous reservations are disproportionately high, which is a cause that Rocky is passionate about. In fact, it’s a major reason why he does what he does.

“I lost all of my brothers. All three of my best friends, my cousin, my mom to suicide. So, I’m doing this in their names. And it hurts, but I’m doing it and it’s paying

we’ve been in default in the last couple years.

It’s our job as the board first to figure out where we are with that loan, before we can really jump into those next step options. Because in all reality, nothing is an option whether its local or a partnership until we deal with the bank first. With that, I’ve asked the CEO to sit in on those meetings with the bank so I can hear first-hand about how they are feeling.”

W – Do have a general message to the community about your vision to the board?

SAJ – “We are focused on doing whatever it takes to maintain a strong local hospital in our community. Whatever work we have to put in, whatever time it takes. Every single one of us, whether it’s the new or returning board members, all have a deep passion about maintaining a hospital in our community. And not just keeping the doors open, but also providing the care the community needs.

That’s the commitment.

We’re going to do whatever it takes to make sure that we have a thriving hospital here.”

U.S. Women’s Am coming to Bandon Dunes

John Gunther For the World

Golfers from around the world will begin showing up in Bandon next week for the U.S. Women’s Amateur at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort.

The tournament is one of the biggest events on the United States Golf Association calendar and will be the ninth different USGA event hosted by the resort.

ODFW fishing report

COOS RIVER BASIN: Bottomfish, trout, surfperch, salmon Anglers have been catching rockfish around the jetties in the lower Coos Bay estuary, but you may need to move around to several spots to find actively biting fish. Best fishing is typically near slack tides with good fishing one day and fair fishing the next. A jig fished with a twister tail trailer is always a good option to catch bottomfish. The 2025 daily general marine fish bag limit is 5 fish plus 2 lingcod with no retention of yelloweye or quillback rockfish. There is a 1 fish daily sub-bag limit for canary rockfish as part of the general marine bag limit. As of July 1, anglers are allowed to harvest cabezon with a 1 fish daily sub-bag limit as part of the general marine bag limit.

Salmon anglers have caught an occasional Chinook salmon trolling near the Coos Bay jetties. Fall Chinook regulations are in effect for Coos Bay with anglers allowed to harvest 2 wild Chinook per day and 10 wild Chinook for the season.

Striped surfperch can be caught around the jetties and red-tail surfperch are being caught along the ocean beaches like Horsefall Beach. Anglers have the best success fishing with sand shrimp near the bottom.

Trout fishing opened in the Coos Basin rivers and streams

on May 22. Anglers are restricted to fishing with artificial flies and lures in streams and rivers above tidewater. The daily bag limit for trout fishing in streams is 2 trout over 8 inches per day. Water temperatures in the large rivers are warming up where fishing will be best in the mornings. Last updated 7/16/25.

COQUILLE RIVER BASIN: trout, striped bass, smallmouth bass

Striped bass anglers are catching fish in the lower Coquille River. Striped bass can be caught during the day but fishing will be best in the low light periods of the day and after dark.

Smallmouth bass are active throughout the Coquille River and main tributaries. Spearfishing and bait fishing for smallmouth bass in the Coquille River opened on June 1 and continue through Oct 31. There is no limit for smallmouth bass, which are destructive to salmon habitat.

Trout fishing opened in the Coquille Basin rivers and streams on May 22. Water levels in the local rivers and streams are low for this time of the year and water temperatures are increasing. Trout fishing will be best in the mornings when water temperatures are the coldest. Last updated 7/9/25.

DIAMOND LAKE: Trout Fishing is good, and a few limits were harvested. All boat

Amateur.

This year’s winner receives custody of the Robert Cox Trophy for a year, exemption into the 2026 U.S. Women’s Open, exemptions into the next 10 U.S. Women’s amateurs (if eligible) and an invitation to the 2026 Augusta Women’s Amateur.

Last year’s champion was Rianne Malixi of the Philippines, who became just the second golfer to win both the U.S. Women’s Amateur and U.S. Girls Junior titles in the same year. She beat Asterisk Talley 3 and 2 in the final at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Okla. They also were the finalists in the U.S. Girls Junior.

Bandon Dunes also is scheduled to host 11 more USGA events over the next 20 years, including hosting the Walker Cup for the first time in 2028. The Women’s Amateur will return to Bandon Dunes in 2032 and 2041.

ramps are open. Check with the lodge and the forest service for available camping.

Diamond Lake has been stocked with tiger and brown trout. These fish were introduced to help control illegally introduced tui chub. These trout are catch-and-release only and need to be released immediately and unharmed if caught. Follow these catch-and-release tips for reducing fish mortality. Last updated 7/16/25.

EMIGRANT LAKE: Largemouth and smallmouth bass, black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, catfish, rainbow trout

Emigrant Lake is 71 percent full. Fishing should be good for smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, black crappie and yellow perch. Bass provide the primary summer fishery at Emigrant. Try fishing the flooded willows for largemouth and panfish, and rockier areas for smallmouth.

A Dd14 crankbait produced smallmouth recently. Anglers continue to catch good sized black crappie. There is a longstanding health advisory for consumption of resident warmwater species in Emigrant for high levels of mercury. Consult the sportfishing regulations or the Oregon Health Authority for more information on consumption guidelines. The most current elevations for Emigrant Reservoir and

Bandon finises second in OSAA Cup

A year after winning the OSAA Cup for the first time, Bandon finished second for Class 2A in the recently completed school year.

Salem Academy took the top spot with 2,440 points while Bandon was second with 2,125.25. Both were far ahead of thirdplace Oakland (1,745).

Points are accumulated through the school year for accomplishments in sports and activities and success in the Academic All-State program. Schools also can earn points when they have sports seasons with no ejections of players or coaches.

According to the OSAA website, the OSAA Cup “recognizes overall school excellence in academics, activities, athletics and sportsmanship. The guiding force behind these point breakdowns is that every school that has a team or individual qualify for our state championships deserves point recognition.”

State championships earn the same number of points (200), regardless of whether they are sports or activities.

Bandon and North Bend are the only South Coast schools that have won the OSAA Cup since its inception in 1999. North Bend won in both 2013-14 and 2016-17.

Bandon won state titles in girls track and field, boys golf, band and speech and debate during the 2024-25 school year. The Tigers finished third in girls basketball and had a number of other programs advance to state championships.

Among other South Coast schools, North Bend and Marshfield were 13th and 14th, respectively, for Class 4A, a division won by Marist Catholic.

In Class 3A, Siuslaw was ninth, Coquille 20th and Brookings-Harbor 41st. Oregon Episcopal won the division in the tightest race, edging Valley Catholic 2,642.5-2,613.75.

In addition to Bandon in Class 2A, Myrtle Point was 26th, Reedsport 32nd and Gold Beach 33rd.  in Class 1A, which has the most schools, Powers was 16th and Pacific 87th. Union won the title.

other Rogue Basin reservoirs can be found on the Bureau of Reclamation’s website, here. Last updated 7/15/25. EXPO POND: Rainbow trout, largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie Trout fishing is winding down, but some may still be caught. Fishing for bass and panfish should be good. Illegally introduced carp are also available, and anglers are encouraged to harvest and remove these fish. Expo Pond is the pond at the Jackson County Fairgrounds located directly adjacent to the access road at Gate 5, at the Southern Oregon RV Park. There are Chinese mystery snails in the most northern pond. They are highly invasive and were illegally dumped here. Please do not move these creatures and drain and dry any personal watercraft before using them in another waterbody. Last updated 7/8/25.

FISH LAKE: Rainbow trout, brook trout, spring Chinook Fish Lake is 73 percent full and was stocked last week. Aquatic weeds are forcing anglers to fish strategically at Fish Lake. Limits on rainbow trout were reported by anglers still fishing from a boat with Powerbait. Openings in the vegetation are a good place for this technique.

commendable,” Mitts said.

In recognition of his service, Lathrom was presented with a commemorative shadow box from the department, traditionally given to officers who reach retirement milestones.

Reflecting on his career, Lathrom recounted how his law enforcement journey began later in life.

“It’s been a long road,” Lathrom said. “I started out in Coos Bay, putting police files on microfilm with my wife. My son asked me, ‘What are you doing over in Coos Bay? You need to come back to North Bend.’ I told him I was a little old to start as a reserve, but he said, ‘You’re only 44—you can do it.’”

Lathrom joined the North Bend Police Department in 1998. After two years as a reserve, he decided to pursue full driving status, taking

time off from work to complete the necessary training.

“I’ve been driving for almost 25 years now,” Lathrom said. “I’ve worked with a lot of great people, many who started as reserves themselves. We even have reserve officers from this department who now serve in Colorado Springs, Alaska, Florida—all over the United States.”

Lathrom expressed pride in his long service and the lasting impact of North Bend’s reserve officer program.

“I’m just proud that I did what I could do,” he said, receiving a round of applause from those in attendance.

The North Bend Police Department continues to maintain a strong reserve program, which has long served as a vital resource for both the department and the community.

NORTH BEND URBAN

RENEWAL AGENCY PLAN

AMENDMENT

The North Bend City Council will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. in the North Bend City Council Chambers, located at 835 California Avenue, North Bend, Oregon, during its regularly scheduled City Council meeting.

The purpose of the hearing is to consider a proposed amendment to the North Bend Urban Renewal Plan. The amendment seeks to update the Urban Renewal Agency’s maximum indebtedness and project list to support the completion of key revitalization efforts, including the redevelopment of the blighted Coos County Courthouse Annex into workforce housing for essential workers such as teachers, nurses, and first responders.

Urban Renewal is a financing tool that allows communities to reinvest existing tax dollars in local infrastructure, housing, and economic development without raising taxes. The proposed amendment does not increase taxes and is intended to keep future tax growth within North Bend for reinvestment.

Background information and the full text of the proposed amendment are available for public review online at www. northbendoregon.us/ura.

Public testimony is welcome and encouraged. Written comments may be submitted prior to the hearing to the City Recorder’s Office at the address above, online at www.northbendoregon.us, or via email at mjaehnig@ northbendcity.org.

As I See It

A headline in the Jan. 9, 1936, Western World told of a workers’ strike at the local mill.

“A strike has been in progress at the plant of the Moore Mill & Lumber Co. (first photo taken during a strike years later) in Bandon since Jan. 3, but has not been of sufficient magnitude to interfere with operations.

“The strike was called by Bandon Local No. 2698, Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union, which is affiliated with the AFL. Out of the 77 employees of the mill, 12 who were members of the striking union walked out. These were immediately replaced and the plant continued without interruption.

R.T. Moore, president of the company, said his company had been presented with three demands: First that six former employees who had recently been laid off, must be reinstated; second, that hereafter only members of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers Union be employed when new and additional men are employed, if union men are available, and third that the company recognize this union as the ‘voice of its employees.’

“The company said it could not rehire the six men because two of them were discharged for incompetency and the other four because of a lack of work. Also that it could not recognize the union as the ‘voice of its employees’ because it had already recognized as such, the Moore Mill Workers Association, of which Marvin McCue is president; Bob Burford, vice president, and J.H. McCue, secretary.

“The association met in December and presented the mill with requests, one of which was to increase the wages, bringing the minimum wage up to 50 cents an hour.”

The second item, headlined “Business men purchase plane” appeared in the same January 1936 paper.

“Anticipating rapid advancement of the commercial air service along the Pacific coast, a group of Bandon business men have

By Mary Schamehorn

purchased an amphibian plane for the purpose of cooperating with the North Bend air service firm on local service.

“Elmer Gant (second photo), representing the local group, returned yesterday from Portland and Seattle where he purchased an amphibian, which is a combination land and sea plane. The ship is a custom built, French design, which has had less than 300 hours in service. It was built especially for Smith Reynolds, the young man of the millionaire tobacco family who died under suspicious circumstances and whose wife, a famous torch singer, was acquitted of complicity in his death. Young Reynolds had planned to make a trip around the world. He shipped the plane to Europe and flew some 280 hours to several countries, later shipping the plane to Seattle with the instructions that it be completely overhauled for his contemplated roundthe-world flight. In the meantime, he died and the plane has not been used since.

“Final approval of the Bandon airport, sponsored by the Port of Bandon, is expected within the coming week.”

The third photo is titled “Kronenberg President,” and also appeared in the January 1936 Western World.

“George Kronenberg (left, with Walt Miller and Toby Cole in his office in 1971) was elected president of the Young Democrats of Coos County at the annual

meeting held at Myrtle Point Monday evening, following a Jackson Day banquet.”

* * * I don’t have driver information, but I do know there were two single-vehicle wrecks south of Bandon over the weekend, with one late Friday afternoon knocking out power to the area from Two Mile to Langlois for three or four hours, according to a report from Bandon (City) Power.

Apparently a pickup hit a power pole, which ended up across the hood of the vehicle, near milepost 281.5 several miles south of town.

Saturday, Bandon Fire was paged out for a vehicle rollover accident on the highway near milepost 279, which is north of Misty Meadows. There was a report that one lane was blocked, but another posted that it was the ambulance and they were in need of traffic control.

* * I was sorry to learn that long-time area resident Al Jackson died July 9 at the age of 86. He and his late wife Linell Johnson moved to Bandon in the early 1970s where they purchased the Laurel Grove Store on Highway 101 with his in-laws, Evaline and Swede Johnson. He also had a fishing boat and worked in the cranberries. His next business venture was buying the NAPA Store in Bandon with his two brothers-inlaw, Marc and Nord Johnson, which they sold after several years.

On April 7, 2007, Al married Deborahlyn Jensen, who survives, as does his brother, Chuck (Jack) Jackson (Becky), and sisters-in-law, Glenda, Elena and Jeannie Johnson; brother-in-law Sert, and many nieces and nephews, including Stephanie Johnson of Bandon.

Services were held at Pacific Community Church July 19.

Protective Association moved their regulated use closure to a “high” level effective July 11. In alignment with that move, all state park day use areas and beaches within the South Coast District (from the Umpqua River south to the California Border) will close to fires until further notice, according to Nick Schoeppner, Bullards Beach park manager. Valve operated flame sources that can be shut off immediately are still permitted. Campfires will continue to be permitted within fire rings in hosted campgrounds until the closure level moves to “extreme.”

* * * A big crowd was on hand Sunday to brave a strong north wind as Holy Trinity Catholic Church held a ceremonial ground-breaking ceremony for their new $2.5 million church, highlighted by remarks from the Auxiliary Bishop Peter Smith of Portland, the Rev. Anthony Ahamefule and a proclamation from Mayor Mary Schamehorn, who was joined by Holy Trinity parishioner and city councilor Geri Procetto. I read an item from a September 1937 Western World which indicated the former church, which was demolished recently, cost $3,000 to build, and that included a sizeable donation from an eastern church with the stipulation that they begin to build within a year of the disastrous Sept. 26, 1936, Bandon Fire, which destroyed the church along with an estimated 500 others structures.

Dee Ann (Groth) Russell

March 2, 1947 – June 26, 2025

Memorial services for Dee Ann (Groth) Russell will be held on July 26th at 1:00pm at the Church of Christ on Broadway in North Bend.

Dee Ann was born to Earl and Carol June (Laakso) Groth in Spokane Washington March 2, 1947. She passed away June 26, 2025, in Portland, Oregon.

Dee Ann married the love of her life, Norm Russell, on October 22nd, 1966, in Walla Walla, Washington. Norm and Dee Ann then moved to Spokane, Washington, where she gave birth to their two children, Dondi Russell and Tammy (Russell) Bishop. Dee Ann attended dental assistant school in 1966 in Seattle Washington.

Dee Ann took great pride in being a preacher’s wife at the North Bend Church of Christ, for over 30 years. She touched many lives throughout the years through her many different ministries at the church. Dee Ann was always having people into her home, where she would offer a hot meal, or simply a “warm” chocolate chip cookie and a Coca Cola! She was always trying to bring people to Christ, even right up to time in the hospital during her last days. She was a wonderful, Godly woman, who loved her Church family and enjoyed doing ministries. She always had a way of being compassionate with people, getting to know them, listening to those who might need a little healing, and just needed someone to talk to.

During the holidays, her love for people and caring heart was even more evident. It did not matter what holiday it was, whether it was Easter, or Thanksgiving or whatever holiday it was, there would always be company for dinner!

September 13, 1983 - April 21, 2025

With profound sadness, the family of Mathew William Fromme announces his passing on April 21, 2025, in West Linn, Oregon. He was 41 years old.

Born on September 13, 1983, in Eugene, Oregon, “Shube” built a life defined by service, integrity, and deep personal connections. To him, friends and beloved canine companions were as cherished as his family. A graduate of North Bend High School and Southern Oregon University, Mathew also dedicated more than 17 years of distinguished service to the Oregon State Police. He began his career in the Fish & Wildlife Division before transitioning to the Criminal Investigations Division, where he served in both the Drug Enforcement and Major Crimes Sections. In February 2023, he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant following years of exemplary service as a Detective. Yet, Mathew was so much more than his career. He thrived outdoors, fishing, camping, and crabbing all over Oregon with his dogs. His warm, lighthearted personality allowed him to forge meaningful relationships everywhere he went. Known for his regular “check-in” calls, his thoughtful gift giving, and his unwavering dependability, Mathew was always there – whether for a milestone, a project, a lunch, or just to lend an ear. He had a generosity of spirit and readiness to help that you could not help but admire. Mathew was preceded in death by his grandfathers, David Fromme, George Pedlar, and Dick Troon; and his grandmothers, Virginia Troon, Marian Pedlar, and Dorothy Pedlar. The memory of his beloved dog, Carter, remained forever in his heart. He is survived by his grandmother, Jo Ann Stones Fromme; his parents, Chris and Mary Fromme; and his sister, Jessica Fromme, along with

She loved her family fiercely and fought for them just as hard. It didn’t matter what day or time it was; she was always there for you and always encouraging you! Family meant everything to her!

Dee Ann is survived by her husband, Norm; her two children and their spouses, Dondi and Margo Russell and Tammy and Bob Bishop; sister, Shelly Jass and two granddaughters, Desiree Guirado and Kaley Russell, who were the light of her life.

her family, Jett and Kian Pryor. Loving aunts include Darma Wright, Janis Pedlar Ritala, Amelia Fromme, Pam Shick, Maggie Fromme Bowman, and Julia Fromme. Proud uncles include Jack Pedlar, David Shick, and Steve Tichenor. He is also survived by his supportive cousins: Stacey, Kraig, Sarah, Erica, Benjamin, Zach, and Carly. His beloved dogs, Kelso and Buckley, remain a great comfort to his family during this time of profound grief. The family respectfully requests privacy until a date for memorial services is announced. Donations can be made to Friends of Coos County Animals (www. friendsofcooscountyanimals.org) or Coos County Salmon Trout Enhancement Program (www.morgancreekfishhatchery. org). In Mathew’s own words: “Only smiles, no cries.”

Mary K. Graeff

With great sadness, we share that Mary K. Graeff passed away on May 29th, 2025, at her home in Boise, ID, at the age of 83.

Mary grew up in Hermosa Beach, California, where she had fond memories of body surfing in the ocean and playing beach volleyball. A vivacious, trailblazing woman who could do anything she set her mind to. Her adventurous spirit was shaped by life that took her across the globe – Living in Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Greece, Spain, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Arizona and Idaho. She mountain biked Moab, UT, rafted the Rogue and North Fork rivers, and ran ultramarathons well into her 70s.

In her late 30’s Mary earned degrees in forestry and law enforcement from Southwestern Oregon Community College. She defied expectations and traditional roles for women: slash-burning mountains, jackhammered concrete, and worked as a Park Ranger for the Oregon State Parks. She worked at Shore Acres Botanical Gardens and patrolled the beaches on the Oregon coast before moving to Salem, Oregon, where she became the Safety and Law Enforcement Coordinator for the state parks system.

July 12 and 13, Sturdivant Park was taken over by dogs. 466 dogs were groomed and spoiled before being presented in multiple divisions, earning points for Nationals. Side “pee wee” events had kids who are future presenters showing dogs.

The dogs were, of course, accompanied by people so over a thousand of them were seeking shade for their diva dogs and had their 79 RVs and multiple vans running air conditioning to keep dogs and people comfortable.

The Coos Kennel Club, who are in their 53rd year, hosted this huge event for the 3rd year at Sturdivant. It has grown quite popular with the beautiful park, nearby river and plenty of space to set up RV’s and show arenas. This is only one of three rural dog show events on the West Coast to have National qualifier status.

The most popular dogs to show at Sturdivant were Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (24), Rottweilers (15), and Pomeranians (14). 218 different breeds were judged across a weekend of fun for all ages (and species).
