'WEED WRANGLE' TO REMOVE INVASIVES AT AIRPORT  
  
As part of the Earth Day activities around the globe, volunteers will gather for a weed wrangle to pull and eradicate invasive Scotch broom and Himalayan Blackberry within the Coos County Airport District (CCAD) property near the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport.  
  
The event, sponsored by the Coos Watershed Association, is a great opportunity to impact the area near the Airport Heights neighborhood and the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. Volunteers will stage west of Airport Heights Park at the intersection of Colorado and Arthur from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 27, 2024. The work will take place along the park boundary and unimproved trail access that runs along the bluff above the airport. Cytisus scoparius (Scotch Broom) and Himalayan Blackberry are invasive species that tend to outcompete native plants. They spread rapidly and create opportunities to potentially catch fire.  
  
Everyone is encouraged to attend and make a positive impact on the watershed during Earth Week. Tools, gloves, and snacks will be provided. A billion people globally will likely celebrate Earth Week and activities that take place globally on April 22, 2024. Earth Day encourages people to come together and take action for a healthier planet.  
  
CCAD is a special district that owns and operates the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. It consists of 619 landside and airside acres. It also includes a park and walking/biking trails. For more information, call (541) 756-8531 or visit our website www.flyoth.com. You can also follow the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport on Facebook and Instagram. Featured News by City of Coos Bay

MEET CBPD PATROL PLATOON 3  
  
The Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) is introducing Patrol Platoon 3, which constitutes 25% of the total patrol officer staff. This shift is comprised of a sergeant and three officers. Platoon 3 responds to all police calls for service within the City of Coos Bay during their tour of duty. They also engage in numerous proactive policing activities such as patrol checks, traffic stops, and citizen contacts. The shift has the following people assigned:  
  
Sergeant Dan Henthorn, who has been with the department since 2016. Before joining CBPD, Sgt. Henthorn worked at the Coquille Police Department and the Coos County Sheriff’s Office.  
  
Officer Moeller: Started as a reserve police officer with CBPD in 2013 and was hired full time in 2016. He is a certified motorcycle officer.  
  
Officer Nolan Scoville: Joined as a reserve police officer in 2021 and was later hired full time the same year.  
  
Officer Joseph Sparks: Hired in 2022, previously worked as a correction deputy at the Coos County Sheriff’s Office.  
  
The CBPD values its officers, including those with local roots and those from outside the area, who provide different perspectives. Officer Moeller, Officer Scoville, and Officer Sparks all grew up in the area, graduating from local high schools. Sergeant Henthorn moved into the local area many years ago and has chosen to make this area his home. This blend of local knowledge and outside perspective fosters a positive police/citizen relationship.

A message from Sheriff Cliff Harrold:  
  
It’s National Volunteers Week and I’m excited to highlight the outstanding work being done by our very own Lane County Sheriff’s Office volunteers! Although our volunteers steadfastly work all year long, this specific week gives us an opportunity to step back and recognize these hardworking individuals who dedicate their time, efforts, talents and passion to serve the people of Lane County.   
  
Our public service extends beyond the reach of our paid employees in the Corrections, Police Services, and Operations Support Divisions. Our volunteers give their time through a variety of ways, all with the same goal of serving the residents of Lane County. We currently have well over 300 volunteers donating thousands of hours to the Lane County Sheriff’s Office and community.   
  
To put the hard work into numbers, our volunteers donate more than 28,000 hours annually, encompassing search and rescue missions, trainings, cold case investigation, public outreach, crime prevention, main office greetings and information, jail library, support groups, and religious services provided to adults in custody. I have listed below several of the programs to give a better idea of the vital functions being handled day in and day out by our volunteers who greatly improve the quality of service we are able to deliver to the Lane County community.    
  
Cold Case Team  
Mounted Posse   
Reserve Deputy Sheriffs  
Cadet Program  
Search and Rescue  
Crime Prevention Team  
Corrections Library/Groups/Religious Services  
Main Office Information  
Chaplains   
  
We are honored and so fortunate to have every single volunteer as a member of the Lane County Sheriff’s Office family. Thank you for your time, your dedication, and your commitment to serve!
