NB Hosting Town Hall Meeting on Housing, Public Safety, Infrastructure & City Finances
City of North Bend release - NORTH BEND, Ore. — Residents will have an opportunity to learn about several major issues facing the community during a town hall meeting hosted by the City of North Bend this month. The meeting is scheduled for 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, March 30, at the North Bend Community Center, 2222 Broadway. City officials say the event is intended to provide information, answer questions and allow residents to better understand several topics expected to shape the city’s future, including workforce housing, a proposed public safety fee ballot measure, potential amendments to the city charter, infrastructure needs, the municipal pool levy and the city’s upcoming budget. City leaders emphasized that the meeting is informational and no formal decisions will be made. Workforce housing project: One of the major topics will be the city’s effort to address a shortage of housing for local workers. Officials plan to discuss a proposal to redevelop the former Coos County Courthouse Annex property in downtown North Bend into workforce housing. Early concepts suggest the site could accommodate approximately 70 housing units intended for people who work in the community, such as teachers, nurses, service workers and first responders. City leaders say the project is still in early planning stages. Federal and state funding has already been secured to support feasibility analysis and infrastructure planning, and the town hall will outline potential next steps for evaluating the redevelopment opportunity. Public safety fee ballot measure: Residents will also hear details about a proposed increase to the city’s public safety fee that is expected to appear on the May 19, 2026, primary election ballot. The fee currently helps fund core police services, including patrol staffing and emergency response operations. The proposed measure would increase the monthly fee by $5. If approved by voters, the additional revenue would help maintain current police services and fund the addition of a police detective position to strengthen investigative capacity. City officials say the town hall will allow residents to ask questions and better understand the proposal ahead of the election. Proposed changes to the city charter: Another topic will be a set of proposed amendments to the North Bend City Charter, which serves as the city’s governing document. The proposed changes would extend the mayor’s term from two years to four years, update the title of city administrator to city manager and clarify the separation between policy decisions made by the City Council and administrative operations carried out by staff. Additional updates would address how council rules are adopted and clarify procedures for filling City Council vacancies under certain circumstances. If approved by voters, the charter changes would take effect July 1, 2026. Infrastructure and sewer system updates: City staff will also provide an update on the condition of North Bend’s infrastructure systems, including streets, sewer lines and stormwater drainage. Officials say much of the city’s infrastructure was built decades ago and requires ongoing maintenance and long-term planning to remain reliable. The city has implemented a data-driven pavement management system to evaluate street conditions and prioritize repairs. Staff will also discuss the city’s wastewater system, including the treatment plant and sewer network serving homes and businesses throughout the community. Financial analysis from the city’s sewer rate study shows that without adjustments to revenues, reserves could decline over time while still needing to support operations and future infrastructure projects. Municipal pool levy update: Residents will also receive an update on the North Bend Municipal Pool and the five-year property tax levy voters approved in 2021 to support its operation. The pool, built in 1957, had previously faced a significant operating deficit and was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The levy, set at 56 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, created a dedicated funding source for operating the facility. City officials say the pool has also undergone significant repairs in recent years, including a major pump replacement and other improvements funded through federal assistance and community partnerships. City budget outlook: The meeting will conclude with a discussion of the city’s upcoming fiscal year 2026-27 budget and the long-term financial outlook. Like many cities across Oregon, North Bend faces rising costs and revenue limitations tied to property tax restrictions. Current projections show city expenditures exceeding revenues, creating what officials describe as a structural budget gap. City leaders say the town hall will give residents an opportunity to better understand the financial challenges facing the city and share feedback about priorities for city services moving forward. City officials encourage residents to attend, ask questions and participate in the discussion about North Bend’s future.

Oregon Health Authority highlights Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, encourages screening
OHA release - What you should know: Colorectal cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in Oregon. Colorectal cancer rates for people under 50 are increasing, screening age recommendations have changed. About 90% of colorectal cancer cases can be prevented through screening. PORTLAND, Ore. - In recognition of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is encouraging people in Oregon to talk with their health care providers about colorectal cancer screening and take steps to reduce their risk of the disease. “Colorectal cancer is one of the most preventable cancers when it is detected early through screening,” said Tom Jeanne, M.D., M.P.H., deputy state health officer and epidemiologist at OHA.?“Early detection is key. When colorectal cancer is found early, it is highly treatable and often preventable through removal of precancerous polyps. We encourage Oregonians to learn their risk and talk with their health care provider about getting screened.” Colorectal cancer — cancer of the colon or rectum — remains one of the most common cancers in Oregon. According to state cancer registry data: 1,727 Oregonians were diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2023, and more than 648 people died from the disease that year. Overall, colorectal cancer is the fourth most diagnosed cancer and the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in Oregon. Screening saves lives: Although colorectal cancer most often affects older adults, health experts are seeing an increase in diagnoses among younger people. In Oregon, and across the United States, the rate of colorectal cancer diagnoses among people under age 50 has increased in recent decades. Due to this increase, health experts now recommend that most adults begin routine colorectal cancer screening at age 45. Screening can detect precancerous polyps before they become cancer or identify cancer early, when cancer is easier to treat. Screening for colorectal cancer is especially important since many people don’t experience symptoms until a later stage of the cancer, when it’s harder to treat. Screening options most commonly include at-home stool tests and colonoscopies, although other procedures can be recommended by health care providers. Oregon has made progress in reducing colorectal cancer rates over the past two decades. The state’s colorectal cancer diagnosis rate declined from 52.5 cases per 100,000 people in 2000 to about 30.8 cases per 100,000 in 2021, reflecting improvements in prevention and screening. Even so, people in rural Oregon have lower colorectal cancer screening rates than people in cities. They also have higher overall rates of colorectal cancer, later?stage diagnoses, and higher death rates. This is mostly because rural communities have less access to primary care, cancer screening, and medical specialists. Wait times are longer, and sometimes there are no providers at all. As a result, many people must travel long distances for care, which can deter them from seeking care altogether. OHA is committed to eliminating health inequities and continues to work with rural and frontier communities in many ways to reduce identified barriers to care. The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) covers some at-home stool tests, as well as colonoscopies, with no cost sharing. Health care providers serving people in rural areas can recommend at-home stool kits for appropriate patients, which can help reduce barriers to getting screened. Reducing your risk: OHA encourages Oregonians to take steps that can help lower their risk of colorectal cancer. Get screened starting at age 45 or earlier if recommended by a provider; Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains; Avoid high amounts of fat and limit processed and red meats; Avoid excessive alcohol consumption; Stay physically active; Avoid tobacco.

Oregon WIC shares its 2025 Annual Report for National Nutrition Month
OHA release - March is National Nutrition Month, and Oregon Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is celebrating by sharing its 2025 annual report. The report explains how WIC helps families get healthy food and supports communities across the state. In 2025, families used almost $68 million in WIC benefits at 483 stores and pharmacies. These stores must carry healthy foods, which makes it easier for everyone in the community to find good options. WIC also helps set nutrition standards for foods sold in Oregon. More choices for different needs: WIC updated its food package to give families more choices. The new options follow the latest nutrition science and include foods that support different cultures and dietary needs. Families can now choose gluten-free, vegan, and allergen-friendly items. Reaching more rural families: WIC continues to be an important resource for rural areas. Nearly 37 percent of pregnant women in rural Oregon use WIC. New clinics opened in Gilliam County, Wallowa County, and Grand Ronde to bring services closer to home. This support is especially important as many families face rising food and housing costs. WIC dollars strengthen local communities: WIC also strengthens local communities. Many families use their benefits at farmers markets and farm stands through the Farm Direct Nutrition Program. In 2025, more than 40,000 WIC participants and 53,000 seniors used Farm Direct to buy fresh produce. Farmers say the program helps both small farms and local families. Supporting parents and young children: Along with food benefits, WIC offers nutrition education, breastfeeding support, and health screenings. Many parents say this guidance helps them feel more confident. Last year, Oregon WIC served more than 119,000 people. This includes 86,000 infants and children.

Shooting Lanes in State Forest Maintained by Volunteers
OR Dept. of Forestry release - TILLAMOOK STATE FOREST, Ore. — More than 55 volunteers helped clean and restore the Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes and nearby forest roads on March 21. Volunteers removed graffiti from boulders, replaced vandalized signs, and collected enough trash to fill a 30-yard dumpster. “We simply could not keep these shooting lanes open and maintained without this kind of support,” said Ben Burns, Recreation Facilities Manager with the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF). “Trash No Land has been an outstanding partner, organizing volunteers not only for this annual cleanup but throughout the year.” Trash No Land is a nonprofit organization focused on promoting responsible recreational target shooting while protecting public lands. “We are all public landowners,” said Bill Cogley, president and co-founder of Trash No Land. “That comes with a responsibility to follow the rules and respect others. We focus on education and hands-on efforts like this cleanup to make a positive difference.” In addition to picking up trash several volunteers donated $740 for the dumpster before the cleanup day and raised $1,005 from a raffle of donated items from local businesses that will go to future improvements at Wolf Creek. They also coordinated and paid for the replacement of vandalized signs at the lanes. “We had a power washer to clean graffiti off the boulders and painted over it on the concrete barriers,” said Cogley. “The volunteers were divided up into five crews and everyone worked so hard and fast we were done by noon. I thank everyone who came out who cared and shared for our places to shoot on public lands.” ODF manages two designated target shooting areas: the North Fork Wolf Creek Shooting Lanes in the Tillamook State Forest and the BC615 Shooting Lanes in the Santiam State Forest. In addition, ODF maintains 22 campgrounds and 61 trailheads, off-highway vehicle staging areas, and day-use sites with a facilities staff of just 13 people. “Volunteers are critical to keeping all our sites clean, safe and enjoyable and we thank them for their year-round efforts,” said Burns. Trash is an eyesore and diminishes the outdoor experience but the top concern at the shooting ranges is safety. “Two fires ignited at the shooting lanes last year due to irresponsible target shooting practices but were quickly contained by ODF firefighters,” said Burns. The top fire-starting concerns are improper backstops and banned ammunition along with exploding targets. “There are high, vegetation free backstops at the shooting lanes,” said Burns. “The problem is from shooters who move targets outside those areas or use an improper backstop.” Sparks into dried out vegetation and smoldering lead in an improper stop like an old stump or log can easily start a fire. All incendiary ammunition is prohibited on all public lands as are exploding targets such as Tannerite. Banned ammunition includes tracer rounds and any others that burn, glow or ignite. This also includes shooting flares from flare guns. To manage these sorts of unsafe target shooting practices, Tillamook and Washington County Sheriff’s deputies work with ODF staff to issue citations and fines to violators. Despite these safety concerns ODF and Trash No Land are working together, for the vast majority of users who do follow the rules, to improve the shooting lanes. “We are pursuing grants and fundraising to support upgrades,” Cogley said. “Our goal is to make the site safer and more sustainable for everyone.” Planned improvements include expanding shooting lanes and enhancing fire prevention and safety features. Both organizations emphasize that the future of the site depends on responsible use. “If we want to keep these areas open, everyone needs to take that responsibility seriously,” Cogley said. “That starts with education, volunteerism, and setting a good example.” For more information about volunteer opportunities, see the Trash No Land website. For current regulations, closures, and updates, visit the Tillamook State Forest target shooting website or contact the ODF Forest Grove office at (503) 357-2191. Note: The Butte Creek 615 Shooting Lane in the Santiam State Forest is temporarily closed due to nearby timber harvest operations and will reopen once work is complete.

Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team Concludes Methamphetamine Distribution Investigation
DINT release - Douglas County, Ore. – In the late evening hours of March 27, 2026, the Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) concluded an investigation into the distribution of methamphetamine throughout Douglas County. The investigation focused on 57-year-old James Teel of Camas Valley and his alleged involvement in methamphetamine sales across the county. During the course of the investigation, detectives learned Teel conducted numerous transactions in the Ten Mile area. On Friday, March 27, 2026, Teel was placed under surveillance by DINT detectives as he departed his residence. He was contacted in the 9,000 block of Highway 42. Upon contact, Teel initially attempted to flee after detectives identified themselves and ordered him to stop. DINT detectives quickly blocked Teel's exit, allowing Teel to be taken into custody without further incident. A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9, Trapper, was deployed and alerted to the presence of controlled substances within the vehicle. Detectives subsequently executed a search warrant on Teel’s vehicle, which yielded evidence consistent with methamphetamine distribution. A second search warrant was served at Teel’s residence in the 12,000 block of Highway 42 in Camas Valley, where investigators located additional evidence, including significant quantities of methamphetamine and bulk cash. In total, detectives seized approximately: 21.8 pounds of methamphetamine; 12 grams of cocaine; 18 grams of fentanyl; 2 oxycodone pills; Bulk U.S. currency. The following individuals were arrested and lodged at the Douglas County Jail in connection with the investigation: James Teel, 57 – Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine; Gina Cotton, 58 – Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Cocaine, Unlawful Possession of a Schedule II Controlled Substance; Stephanie Wilson, 44 – Conspiracy to Possess and Deliver Methamphetamine. DINT was assisted in this investigation by the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office. The Douglas Interagency Narcotics Team (DINT) is a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task force that identifies, disrupts, and dismantles local, multi-state, and international drug trafficking organizations using an intelligence-driven, multi-agency prosecutor-supported approach. DINT is supported by the Oregon-Idaho High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) and the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. DINT is composed of members from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, Roseburg Police Department, Oregon State Police, Douglas County District Attorney’s Office, and the Bureau of Land Management. The Oregon-Idaho HIDTA program is an Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) sponsored counterdrug grant program that coordinates with and provides funding resources to multi-agency drug enforcement initiatives, including DINT.
