Effort to Digitize North Bend’s Historic Newspapers
Help preserve North Bend’s historic newspapers by funding digitization of Coos Bay Harbor and North Bend News for free public access online. City of North Bend release - A community committee is working to preserve and share more than 80 years of North Bend’s local history by digitizing two historic newspaper collections and making them permanently available online. The North Bend Digital Newspapers Project will preserve and publish: Coos Bay Harbor: 1905–1950; North Bend News: 1951–1986. Once digitized, these newspapers will be available through the University of Oregon’s Historic Oregon Newspapers program, a trusted statewide archive that provides free public access to historic newspapers. The platform allows researchers, students, families, historians, journalists, and community members to search newspaper pages online at no cost. Why This Project Matters: Local newspapers are one of the most important records of a community’s life. They capture the stories that may not appear in official records: school events, local businesses, elections, public meetings, weddings, obituaries, sports, ship arrivals, civic improvements, fires, storms, celebrations, and everyday moments that shaped North Bend. For North Bend, these archives are especially valuable. The newspapers document the growth of a waterfront city tied to timber, shipping, rail, fishing, education, public service, small businesses, and generations of families who helped build the community. Digitizing these newspapers will help preserve fragile historical records before they deteriorate further. It will also make them searchable and accessible to anyone with an internet connection, whether they live in North Bend today, grew up here, are researching family history, or want to better understand the community’s past. A Community Preservation Effort: This project has received enthusiastic letters of support from the City of North Bend, the Coos History Museum, the Marshfield Sun Printing Museum, the Oregon Coast Historic Railway, and the Coquille Valley History Museum. The total fundraising goal is $32,175. Thanks to early supporters, more than $8,000 has already been pledged. Community donations are now needed to complete the project and ensure these newspapers are preserved for future generations. How to Donate: Donations of all sizes are welcome. Whether you give $50, $500, or $5,000, your support directly helps save and share North Bend’s history. Checks may be made payable to: North Bend Public Library Foundation, 1800 Sherman Avenue, North Bend, OR 97459, Memo line: NB digital newspapers. The North Bend Public Library Foundation is a tax-deductible 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Online donations may be made through the North Bend Public Library Foundation PayPal donation link: https://www.northbendoregon.gov/21121/north-bend-library-foundation Help Preserve North Bend’s Story. This is a chance to protect the stories, milestones, people, and places that shaped North Bend. By supporting the North Bend Digital Newspapers Project, you are helping make local history easier to find, easier to study, and easier to pass on to future generations.

Commercial Troll Salmon Action Notice, North of Cape Falcon
ODFW release - The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) in consultation with the Pacific Fishery Management Council (PFMC), the State of Washington, the State of Oregon, and advisory body members met Thursday and have taken the following in-season management actions related to the commercial troll salmon season from the US/Canada Border to Cape Falcon, Oregon: ACTIONS TAKEN: Effective May 1, modify the quota for the May-June North of Falcon commercial ocean salmon troll fishery that opens May 1, 2026 to 37,300 Chinook, no more than 5,590 of which may be caught in the area between Leadbetter Point and Cape Falcon. Effective May 1, modify the landing and possession limit in the subarea between Leadbetter Point and Cape Falcon to 80 Chinook per vessel per landing week (Thursday through Wednesday) from May 1 to May 13. Effective May 14 modify the landing and possession limit in the subarea between Leadbetter Point and Cape Falcon to 50 Chinook per vessel per landing week (Thursday through Wednesday). RATIONALE: These in-season actions are in response to new information on stock abundances, conservation constraints and expected fishing patterns that were not available at the time the 2025 regulations were formulated and adopted, e.g., the 2026 forecasts, conservation objectives that are updated annually based on the abundance forecasts for that year. These actions are required to ensure the fisheries are consistent with conservation objectives while providing fishery opportunity and maximizing economic potential. Fishery participants are reminded that vessels landing salmon into Oregon from any season North of Cape Falcon are required to notify ODFW at least one hour prior to landing by either calling 541-857-2546 or sending notification via email to [email protected]. Notification shall include vessel name and number, number of salmon by species, port of landing, location of delivery, and estimated time of delivery. Additional regulations that apply to vessels fishing out of Oregon, North of Cape Falcon that apply to the 2026 seasons include: • Within 24 hours of any closure of the fishery vessels must land and deliver their salmon. • Vessels landing in Oregon are limited to only fishing between Leadbetter Pt., WA and Cape Falcon, OR. • Vessels landing into Oregon must possess a valid commercial license and a valid troll salmon permit. • Vessels landing into Oregon are limited to locations on the Oregon side of the Columbia River upstream as far as Tongue Pt., the beaches at Gearhart/Seaside and Cannon Beach, or into Garibaldi.

ODOT selects recipients for latest federal grants for public EV fast charging stations on major roads
ODOT release - Oregon’s EV drivers can look forward to over 20 new public DC fast charging station options over the next few years, making long distance travel by electric vehicle more convenient than ever before. Recently, the ODOT Climate Office selected companies for the second round of grants from the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program. The federal NEVI program funds public DC fast charging stations along major roads throughout Oregon and the United States. The grants will fund 24 total charging stations along Interstate 84 and U.S. Highways 20, 26, 97 and 101. Each station will have at least four charging ports — some as many as eight — for a total of 126 new DC fast charging ports. DC fast charging stations have high-powered ports that can recharge some EVs 10%-80% in less than 30 minutes. We intend to award $16.7 million in NEVI grants to seven private EV charging companies. We selected them through a competitive process, and we’ll finalize grant contracts with each company over the next few months. We don’t have precise timeline for the companies to start work on the stations, but we expect several stations will come online over the next 12-18 months. NEVI is a federal program. By law, we can’t use the money for other purposes like state road or bridge maintenance. Station locations: View a Google Map of the proposed NEVI station locations for this grant opportunity. The private companies chose the station locations. Each station is near food, shopping, supermarkets, and other amenities along major roads. Visit our NEVI webpage for more details about the stations and the seven selected grantees, including the latest updates from the program’s first grant opportunity. Coming this summer: NEVI Round 3 - We plan to launch the third NEVI grant opportunity this summer. We’ll focus on filling rural gaps in Oregon’s public DC fast charging network on Interstate 82; Oregon Highway 42; U.S. Highway 95; U.S. Highway 101 south of Reedsport; U.S. Highway 20 east of Bend; and U.S. Highway 26 east of Prineville. About the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program - The National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program will establish a nationwide network of public DC fast charging stations in all 50 states over five years along major highways and interstates. The funding comes from the 2021 federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Oregon is allocated $52 million over five years through the program.? The private EV charging companies awarded grant funding will install, own and maintain the NEVI charging stations. The companies must provide a minimum of 20% in matching funds and a five-year maintenance plan for each station.

Trafficking Narcotics, One Arrest in Coos Bay
U.S. Attorney's Office - District of Oregon release - PORTLAND, Ore.—Eight individuals have been charged for their role in a transnational criminal organization (TCO) transporting narcotics into California from Mexico and distributing it across the United States including Oregon. The following individuals have been charged by criminal complaint with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute and possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and fentanyl: Tania Argueta, 47, residing in Las Vegas, Nevada; Patsy Escobar, 25, residing in Los Angeles, California; Angel Lopez, 25, residing in Los Angeles; Rene Cazares, 39, residing in Salem, Oregon; Julia Dorfler, 32, residing in Springfield, Oregon; Matthew Medieros, 38, residing in Coos Bay, Oregon; Patrick Newport, 28, residing in Corvallis, Oregon; and Felicia Waite, 40, residing in Eugene, Oregon. According to court documents, the TCO transported drugs, including methamphetamine and fentanyl into California from Mexico before distributing it across the United States, including Oregon, through shipping carriers, sometimes hidden in children’s toys or cereal boxes, and vehicles. Argueta was a drug and money courier for the TCO traveling all over the United States to pick up drug proceeds. Cazares operated a stash house in Salem receiving large amounts of controlled substances from couriers that he distributed at the direction of a co-conspirator to local Oregon customers. Escobar and Lopez operated a stash house in Corona, California, where they distributed methamphetamine and fentanyl across the United States. Dorfler, Newport, Waite, and Medieros were all local distributors for the TCO. During the course of this investigation, law enforcement has seized approximately 56 pounds of fentanyl, 116 pounds of methamphetamine, more than $300,000, and 20 firearms from members of the TCO. U.S. Attorney Scott E. Bradford for the District of Oregon made the announcement. The Drug Enforcement Administration, Oregon State Police, Springfield Police Department, Eugene Police Department, South Coast Interagency Narcotics Team, Linn Conty Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team, Corvallis Police Department, Corona Police Department, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Homeland Security Investigations are investigating the case, with assistance from the New York Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Huynh is prosecuting the case. A criminal complaint is only an accusation of a crime, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. This arrest is part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion. The HSTF is a whole-of-government partnership dedicated to eliminating criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and human smuggling and trafficking rings operating in the United States and abroad. Through historic interagency collaboration, the HSTF directs the full might of United States law enforcement towards identifying, investigating, and prosecuting the full spectrum of crimes committed by these organizations, which have long fueled violence and instability within our borders. In performing this work, the HSTF places special emphasis on investigating and prosecuting those engaged in child trafficking or other crimes involving children. The HSTF further utilizes all available tools to prosecute and remove the most violent criminal aliens from the United States. HSTF Portland comprises agents and officers from FBI, HSI, DEA, USMS, IRS-CI, ATF, USPIS, CBP, TSA, U.S. Coast Guard, Oregon Air, Army National Guard Counterdrug program, and Oregon-Idaho HIDTA with the prosecution being led by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Oregon.

Douglas Co. SO Warns about Scam Callers
Douglas Co. SO release - DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. - Scammers are posing as officials from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) in an effort to scam community members out of money. Deputies have once again begun receiving reports from people contacted by phone by individuals posing as DCSO employees. The scammer will tell the intended victim they have missed some type of court appearance, failed to appear for jury duty, they owe fines or have a warrant for their arrest and eventually demands payment. The victim is often directed to immediately make payment or they face consequences including arrest. These are tactics that are never utilized by legitimate law enforcement agencies. It is critically important for our community to be aware of these tactics and to share them with their friends and family members, especially those who may be vulnerable to falling victim to the scams, such as the elderly members of the community. However, we also wish to remind the community not to focus too much on specific scam tactics; scammers often change their methods over time: Scammers can easily obtain new phone numbers and will change them often. Scammers may use “spoof” programs to make the Caller ID show an agency’s actual phone number. Scammers may use the names of actual DCSO employees to make the call seem legitimate. Scammers may obtain personal information about a victim online including their name, address, phone number, and the names of others in the home. Scammers may initially contact victims by mail, email, or through social media. Due to the technology used in the scam – and the fact that scammers can be located anywhere in the world – it is virtually impossible to track the scammers or to get money back. “If anyone has any question about a possible scam call, they should call the law enforcement dispatch center at (541) 440-4471 and ask to speak to a deputy,” said Undersheriff Brad O'Dell. “The most important thing is to not send any money or agree to meet someone to make payment.”

Hwy. 214 Fatal, Marion Co.
MARION COUNTY, Ore. (30 April 2026) – On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 1:52 a.m., Oregon State Police responded to a single-vehicle crash on Highway 214 near milepost 22 in Marion County. The preliminary investigation indicated a Subaru WRX, operated by Adrian Ramos Monroy (18) of Salem, was traveling southbound on Highway 214 when it left the roadway for an unknown reason and struck a tree. The vehicle continued down an embankment, came to a stop, and caught fire. The operator of the Subaru (Ramos Monroy) was pronounced deceased at the scene. A passenger, Hallyenangel Marie Hance Route (24) of Salem, was transported to an area hospital by Life Flight with serious injuries. The highway was impacted for approximately five hours during the on-scene investigation. A high rate of speed is believed to have been a contributing factor in the crash. OSP was assisted by the Drakes Crossing Fire Department and the Oregon Department of Transportation.
