FY27 Marketing Plan Approved by VCB Board of Directors
VCB release - At the July 16th meeting of the Coos Bay-North Bend-Charleston VCB Board, Janice Langlinais, Executive Director of the VCB, and Tim Goulet, with the VCB’s advertising agency of record, Echo Creative, presented the plans for advertising and marketing the destination between July 2026 and June 2027. This year’s plan focuses primarily on adventures that draw visitors to the area including, charter fishing, crabbing & clamming; ATVing in the Dunes; Hiking; Mountain Biking; Water Sports such as kayaking, SUP and surfing; Arts & Culture; Gaming; Sightseeing; and Nightlife. Major events that bring visitors for multiple nights will also be a focus of this year’s plan. “Our plan includes very little print advertising as we increase our digital, social, and website presence – meeting our visitors where they are, primarily, which is online,” said Janice Langlinais. “Our plan allows us to be fluid and nimble, taking advantage of opportunities without being tied to months- or year-long contracts.” “The primary focus of any destination marketing organization is to bring outside visitors who will stay overnight and spend money in our communities,” said Tim Goulet. “The VCB’s plan prioritizes campaigns that target potential tourists from 2 to 6 hours away, while incentivizing longer overnight stays for major events and unique “bucket list” adventures. Target markets include the entire I-5 Corridor from Seattle to Northern California, Central Oregon, Idaho, and Denver.” The VCB will also unveil a new, fully-accessible website in the first quarter of FY27 and will build new advertising and social content to support and complement the new mobile-first and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) compliant site. The plan includes a slight reduction in budget as a conservative measure due a softening of tourism nation-wide. This year’s total marketing and advertising budget is $750,000. Other aspects of the VCB’s budget include approximately $50,000 in trade show presence, printing & mailing costs, and bringing visiting travel writers to the area. Other administrative costs such as salaries, insurance, wi-fi, debt service and subscription, and office supplies bring the VCBs total budget to approximately, $1.18 million.

Crash that killed stranded driver, injured ODOT employee highlights need to slow down, move over
Roadside workers often have no choice but to work just feet, or even inches, from highway traffic. An ODOT maintenance truck is parked on the shoulder of I-84 near Arlington on Aug. 13, at the site of the Aug. 11 crash that killed a stranded driver and seriously injured an ODOT employee who had stopped to help him. ODOT release - ARLINGTON - A crash that killed a stranded driver and seriously injured an ODOT employee who had stopped to help him is a tragic reminder of the dangers faced by anyone stopped or working along Oregon’s roads. Roadside workers often have no choice but to work just feet, or even inches, from moving traffic. When drivers see flashing lights, a vehicle stopped on the shoulder or someone working along the road, they need to slow down, pay attention and give them space. Oregon’s Move Over Law requires drivers approaching a stopped vehicle with flashing or hazard lights to move over when it is safe to do so or slow down. These aren’t suggestions. They are actions that save lives. “There is no excuse for not slowing down and paying attention when people are along the highway,” ODOT District 9 Manager Dan Shanahan said. “What happened Tuesday is devastating, and lives have been forever changed. The people you pass on the shoulder or working in a closed lane aren’t just workers or stranded drivers. They are someone’s family member, friend, or neighbor. Our crews care deeply about the work they do and the people they serve. They’re out there every day working to keep the public safe, and they need drivers to do their part in return. Slow down and pay attention. If you can’t do that, don’t drive.” The ODOT employee, who works at the Arlington Maintenance Station, had been helping a driver change a flat tire on the shoulder of Interstate 84 near Arlington on Tuesday Aug. 11. The employee had parked his ODOT truck on the shoulder and activated its amber warning lights and reader board directing approaching traffic into the far lane. According to Oregon State Police, a driver struck the ODOT vehicle and then hit the ODOT employee and driver he was helping. Sadly, the stranded driver was killed. The ODOT employee was taken by helicopter to a regional trauma center where he is being treated for his injuries. OSP is handling the crash investigation and issued a news release providing details on what occurred. When people hear “work zone,” they often think of a construction project with cones and lane closures. But a work zone can be anywhere crews are working along the road. Signs, flashing lights and vehicles parked along the highway are signals that someone may be working nearby and drivers need to slow down, pay attention and give them space. “Work zone safety isn’t just about keeping workers safe,” Interim Region Manager Ben Ebner said. “It’s about everyone on the road. Drivers need to recognize when they’re entering an area where people are working and adjust how they drive.” Oregon work zone crashes hit a five-year high in 2024?—?621 crashes?—?according to the latest data from ODOT.?The crashes claimed 14 lives and resulted in?36?serious injuries.?Most work zone crashes involve drivers, not road workers. In 2024, all of the serious injuries and deaths in work zones were to drivers or their passengers. Drivers can keep themselves and others safe by remembering to: Pay attention.?Distracted driving is?a?leading?cause of work zone crashes. Move over.?When you see road workers,?safely change lanes to?give them space. If you?can’t?move over,?slow?down.

I-84 Fatal, Gilliam Co.
GILLIAM COUNTY, Ore. (13 August 2026) – On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, at approximately 2:43 p.m., Oregon State Police responded to a three-vehicle fatal crash on Interstate 84 near milepost 123 in Gilliam County. The preliminary investigation indicated a westbound red Land Rover LR4 hauling an Airstream trailer, operated by James Thomas Raugust (77) of Ocean Shores, Washington, had pulled onto the right shoulder of the interstate with a flat tire. An Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) white Ford F550 maintenance truck, operated by Roger Vincent Birkeland of Arlington, had stopped to assist the disabled vehicle. The ODOT vehicle was parked behind the disabled vehicle blocking the right lane of travel with a large electronic reader board alerting oncoming traffic to move over. A westbound white Toyota Highlander, operated by Burke Lloyd Oneal (48) of Vancouver, Washington, struck the rear of the ODOT truck, lost control, and struck Raugust and Birkeland as they changed the flat tire. The operator of the Land Rover (Raugust) was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Dog Stabbing, Farmer’s Market
CBPD release - On August 12, 2026, the Coos Bay Police Department investigated an incident that occurred at the downtown farmers market involving two dogs and a family with a newborn child. According to the investigation, a couple attending the farmers market with their 9-day-old infant and their leashed dog encountered an unattended dog on a nearby sidewalk. The unattended dog was wearing a leash; however, the leash had either broken or was not properly secured, allowing the dog to roam freely. The dog's owner was not present at the time. As the couple passed by, the unattended dog became aggressive toward their dog. The father, who was holding the newborn infant, attempted to separate the animals. During the encounter, the unattended dog turned its aggression toward the father and infant, prompting the father to use his knife and stab the aggressive dog. Following the incident, several bystanders reportedly confronted and harassed the couple. The couple returned to their vehicle and attempted to leave the area while calling 911. During this time, some bystanders attempted to block the vehicle's path, and one individual struck the vehicle. The couple slowly drove away from the area without injuring anyone. Investigators reviewed video footage of the vehicle incident, which corroborated the couple's account, as did the 911 call records. After leaving the area, the couple drove around the block and then responded directly to the Coos Bay Police Department, where they fully cooperated with the investigation. The injured dog was transported to a local veterinary clinic for treatment. Investigators later learned that the unattended dog's owner had left the dog while he went to use the restroom. The owner stated that he believed he had properly secured the dog before leaving it unattended. No people were injured during the incident, and the couple's dog was not injured. Following the investigation, no arrests were made. The Coos Bay Police Department would like to remind the public that dogs must be kept on a leash and under their owner's control while in public areas. Responsible pet ownership helps prevent incidents that can place people, animals, and the community at risk.

Sports

UO wsc
HILLSBORO, Ore. – Oregon scored three goals during a 10-minute span in the second half to defeat Portland State 3-0 in the season opener for both teams Thursday at Hillsboro Stadium. Carly Cormack scored the Ducks' first two goals, while freshman Shiloh Baird found the net for the first time in an Oregon uniform to cap the scoring. "It was a great start to the season and a pure team effort," said coach Tracy Joyner. "I was really happy with how we responded in the second half. We made some adjustments and were able to execute. "We scored three very nice goals and kept Portland State out of the net. Some good individual performances and a great team performance to build on for Sunday's match." Oregon opens the home portion of the 2026 season Sunday at 1 p.m. versus Gonzaga. How It Happened: Oregon found itself on offense throughout the first half and outshot the Vikings 11-3, but could not break through. That changed in the second half when Carmack scored the first of her two goals in the 55th minute. Baird started the scoring play by taking the ball on a long run up the right side and into the box behind the defense. That drew PSU's goalkeeper out of the net. Baird then dropped ball to Cormack, who hammered a shot home from 12 yards out. "I think we just had to get into our rhythm," said Cormack, who recorded the second brace of her career. "We were right there, we were pushing it so when the ball went through, it was definitely a really good feeling and that's when our momentum really just took us." Just over four minutes later, Abella Hunter fed the ball through traffic to Cormack, who curled the ball into the left corner of the net for a 2-0 Oregon lead. Baird put an exclamation point on the night with a skillful goal in the 65th minute. Cloe Chase angled a pass up the left side and Baird carried it down the sideline before turning towards the net and lifting the ball over PSU's goalkeeper and into a tight window in the upper right corner of the net. "I'm so excited, yeah," said Baird. "Super-hyped. Super happy to score my first goal. "Right when I saw (Chase) open her hips, I just took a touch and thought, "I'm going just to bang this, float it right into the goal" and it happened." Gray Willson (73 minutes) and Kailey Kimball (17 minutes) combined for the shutout in goal.
