COOS BAY ESTUARY MANAGEMENT PLAN (SBEMP) PHASE II UPDATE Learn How to Get Involved in Land Use Planning for Our Community What are CBEMP, the Phase II Update and Citizen Advisroy Committee? • CBEMP is a State of Oregon mandated land use plan for what development can occur along Coos Bay and its estuaries. The Plan requires extensive public input to achieve an optimal combination of environmental quality for the Bay and economic health for its surrounding communities. For a quick guide to Oregon land use planning see Planning 101. https://static1.squarespace.com/.../CBEMP+Planning+101_V1... • The Phase II Update gets down to the nitty gritty: updating data, revising maps, and specifying land use policies, implementation measures and more. Phase II is the final stage before the CBEMP is reviewed and formally adopted by our city and county governments. • The CBEMP Citizen Advisory Committee provides many opportunities to become informed about and provide input into the Plan. There also is a technical advisory committee to provide up-to-date data and maps. The steering committee coordinates with local governments. All committees are open to public input. Public Information, Engagement and Input Six public events will be scheduled including four online webinars and two in-person meetings See the links for more information and input opportunities All CBEMP information can be found at the CBEMP Phase II Hub: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp See CBEMP 101 for a detailed description of the Plan, its history and updates: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp/101 Go to the Calendar for CBEMP events, meetings, and records: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp/events The CBEMP Resource Library contains foundational documents, data and mapping, and all advisory committee info: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp#library Direct your questions and input to the Community Member page: https://sea-shoresolutions.com/cbemp/community Be informed and get involved.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Bus Jam Season Begins It may only be October, but one of our community’s favorite holiday traditions is getting ready to roll once again. For more than two decades, Bus Jam has brought people throughout our area together during the holiday season to collect toys and food for local children and families. Local businesses, service organizations, first responders, volunteers, and residents all play a part in making this annual tradition a success. This year’s Bus Jam season gets underway with the arrival of the annual Toy Express on Monday, October 19, at approximately 1 p.m. at the Coos Bay Boardwalk. The arrival of the train is always a fun event and a sure sign that another Bus Jam season is beginning. I encourage everyone who can to come down to the Boardwalk and welcome the Toy Express to Coos Bay. Bring the kids, watch the train arrive, and help us kick off another year of this wonderful community tradition. In the weeks that follow, there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved by donating toys and food and supporting the many volunteers and organizations that make Bus Jam possible. The holidays will be here before we know it, and Bus Jam is a great reminder of what makes this community such a special place to call home. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

TOY EXPRESS LAUNCHES 25TH ANNUAL BUS JAM DRIVE Pacific Rail Car Operators and Coos Bay Rail Line help Rotary launch a milestone year of giving. The Coos Bay–North Bend Rotary Club is celebrating 25 years of Bus Jam this holiday season, and one of the community tradition’s most colorful partnerships will help kick off another year of giving. The Pacific Rail Car Operators Toy Express is scheduled to arrive at the Coos Bay Boardwalk at approximately 1:15 p.m. Monday, October 19, carrying toys collected along the Coos Bay Rail Line from Veneta to Coos Bay. The annual Toy Express is made possible through a partnership between the Pacific Rail Car Operators and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay, which operates the Coos Bay Rail Line (CBRL). Toys collected along the journey will support the 25th Annual Bus Jam Toy and Food Drive and Bykes for Tykes Toy and Food Drive. “For 25 years, Bus Jam has been about people and organizations coming together to make the holidays brighter for local children and families,” said one of Rotary’s Coordinators, Randy Thompson. “The Toy Express is a great example of that spirit. Every stop adds more toys and more generosity.” The “speeders” are restored motorcars once used by railroad crews. Today, volunteer operators preserve and operate the historic equipment while supporting communities along their routes. Rotary volunteers, representatives from Coos Bay and North Bend, local firefighters and other community partners will welcome the Toy Express and help unload the toys at the Boardwalk. The public is encouraged to attend, meet the rail car operators and learn more about this year’s Bus Jam. The celebration continues Saturday, December 5, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Coos Bay and North Bend Bi-Mart stores, when the community will once again be asked to help “jam” buses with new, unwrapped toys and food for local families. “This 25th anniversary belongs to the entire community,” Thompson said. “Bus Jam continues because people show up, give and work together year after year.” TOY EXPRESS ARRIVAL Monday, October 19 | Approximately 1:15 p.m. | Coos Bay Boardwalk 25TH ANNUAL BUS JAM Saturday, December 5 | 10 a.m.–3 p.m. | Coos Bay & North Bend Bi-Mart

THE COOS BAY PUBLIC LIBRARY WANTS YOUR PHOTOS! During the month of November, we will be displaying photos all over the Library. First, in our front entry display cases we would like to display photos of local veterans to celebrate and honor them. If you or a family member is a veteran, please bring a photo to the reference desk between October 15 and 31. We will scan the photos and give them back to you and then print out a copy for our display. Also, from October 15 through the 31, we will be scanning photos for display on our Dia de los Muertos ofrenda. The ofrenda, or offering, is a way to honor our loved ones who have died. If you have a loved one who has passed that you would like to remember by having their photo on our ofrenda, please bring your photo to the reference desk and we will scan it and then return it to you and include it on our ofrenda. Finally, we are holding an amateur photo contest during the month of November. Amateur photographers are invited to submit up to two photos between October 15 to 31 to compete in the contest. This year’s theme is “Worth a Thousand Words.” We want to see your pictures that tell a story. This story might be of a fun outing, a rare glimpse of wildlife, or a quirky roadside attraction – you decide. All work must be original, unpublished work that has never been sold and has been taken within the last 12 months. It should be suitable for display and have minimal editing (formatting, lighting and correction only) and use no AI. All work should be submitted as an 8x10 print with an entry form. Photos will be displayed on our art wall throughout the month of November. The photos will be sorted by aged groups for judging: Adults (18+), Teens (13-17), Kids (7-12), and a special non-judged category called Happy Snappers (3-6) to allow young photographers to showcase their first photos. For more details on judging and prizes, please check out our website or stop by the Library and pick up a flyer.
