SEWER REPAIRS CAN BE COSTLY Did you know? Homeowners are responsible for maintaining and repairing the water and sewer service lines that connect their homes to the City’s systems—and these costs are typically not covered by standard homeowners’ insurance or the City. To help address this, the City of Coos Bay partners with Service Line Warranties of America (SLWA) to offer optional protection plans. These plans can help cover the cost and inconvenience of unexpected repairs, such as water service line leaks on your property. Available coverage options include: • Exterior Water Service Line • Exterior Sewer/Septic Line • Interior Plumbing and Drainage Plans are available at affordable rates and can be billed monthly, quarterly, or annually through SLWA. Plan holders also have access to a 24/7 repair hotline, with work performed by local, licensed, and insured contractors. Participation is completely voluntary, but these plans may be a good option for homeowners looking for added peace of mind. Learn more at https://www.slwofa.com/ or call 1-866-922-9006.

APRIL IS DISTRACTED DRIVING AWARENESS MONTH NHTSA and CBPD Remind Drivers to Drive Phone-Free The Coos Bay Police Department has joined the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Put the Phone Away or Pay campaign reminding drivers of the deadly dangers and legal consequences, including fines, of texting and other forms of messaging behind the wheel. During the month of April, law enforcement nationwide will work together to enforce laws prohibiting distracted driving behind the wheel. These efforts come during National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Cell phone use, texting, and other activities that don’t contribute to safe driving are all forms of distracted driving. In 49 states, including Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands, texting while driving is illegal. According to NHTSA, in 2022 there were 3,308 people killed and an estimated additional 289,310 people injured in traffic crashes involving distracted drivers. However, data collection limitations show that these figures are likely lower than the real figures. “Distracted driving, mainly cell phone use, remains a major contributor to serious and fatal crashes,” said Coos Bay Police Captain Lindahl. “It is dangerous, it is illegal, and it puts everyone on the road at risk. Our officers will increase enforcement and stop and ticket anyone who is texting and driving. If you drive distracted, you will face the consequences,” he said. Violating Oregon’s distracted-driving laws can be costly. ORS 811.507, Operating motor vehicle while using mobile electronic device, is a class B violation for first time offenders, class A violation for second time offenders within 10 years, and a class B misdemeanor for third time offenders within 10 years. Safe driving can be adopted by these phone-free driving habits: • Pull over and park in a safe location before using the phone to send or read a text message. • Ask a passenger to be the “designated texter” and allow them to manage calls and messages during the drive. • Avoid social media scrolling and any form of messaging while behind the wheel. • Use “Do Not Disturb” mode to silence notifications. • Drivers can put their phone in the trunk, glove box or back seat of the vehicle to break the habit of driving distracted.

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Threads That Bind: Honoring a Downtown Legacy This week, the City of Coos Bay had the privilege of being represented at the open house marking the final days of business for Threads That Bind, a beloved downtown shop that has served our community for more than 30 years. While I was out of town, our City Manager, Nichole Rutherford, attended on my behalf to help recognize this meaningful milestone. For three decades, Threads That Bind has been more than a sewing and fabric store—it has been a place of connection. A place where creativity was shared, friendships were formed, and generations of Coos Bay residents found both inspiration and belonging. From all accounts, the open house was a reflection of that legacy, filled with stories, appreciation, and a deep sense of community. Nichole had the opportunity to spend time with the owner and her daughter, reflecting on the years of dedication, craftsmanship, and care that have defined this small business. Their story is one of hard work, resilience, and deep roots in Coos Bay. The name Threads That Bind feels especially fitting as we mark this transition. Small businesses like this are the threads that bind a community together—connecting neighbors, supporting families, and creating the shared experiences that give a place its identity. They are part of the fabric of Coos Bay. While it is never easy to say goodbye to a long-standing business, it is important to pause and celebrate what has been built and the legacy that remains. The impact of Threads That Bind will continue to be felt in the quilts, garments, and memories created there—and in the relationships that will carry forward. On behalf of the City of Coos Bay, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the owner and her family for their decades of contribution to our downtown and our community. You have helped stitch together something truly special. As we turn the page, may we continue to support and uplift the local businesses that shape our city—and remember that it is these connections, these threads, that truly bind us together. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay Business Notation: "Threads That Bind Quilt Shop" is closing its doors after 30+ years of business. Sharan Thompson first started longarm quilting when she converted her garage and purchased her first machine. Sharan opened her 1st quilt shop in the early 90s, downtown at 2nd and Central. In 2000, Threads, then moved to its current location at 120 Central Avenue. Sharan, the Owner and Manager, has been running the shop selling fabric, supplies and notions, and doing machine quilting for the Coos Bay Community. A few years later, Pam Boatright joined the team and has been a dedicated employee for 21 years. Sharan would also like to thank all the other employees over the years who have contributed to the success of the business. Threads That Bind, has been THE gathering place for sewing and quilting groups, including Woolies, Thursday Ladies and hosted multiple classes. Sharan, at 87 years old, is reluctantly retiring but plans to remain active in the Quilting Community. Threads That Bind wants to thank everyone for all the support and patronage over the years, it couldn't have lasted this long without all of you.Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post
