MAYOR'S MESSAGE  
  
Reset Your Clocks, Reset Your Goals  
  
This weekend brings the return of Daylight-Saving Time, a small seasonal shift that reminds us spring is just around the corner. Itโ€™s also the time of year many of us remember a couple of simple household tasks: check your smoke detectors and make sure your clocks are set ahead.  
  
Itโ€™s a routine we follow every year, but it can also serve as a reminder of something a little bigger โ€” reset your clocks, reset your goals.  
  
As the days grow longer and signs of spring begin to appear around Coos Bay, itโ€™s a natural moment to pause and think about the months ahead. Along the Oregon coast, we know winter well, but spring brings a welcome change as the steady rain slowly begins to give way to brighter days and blue skies. With that shift comes a renewed sense of energy in our community.  
  
You start to see it everywhere โ€” more people out walking, neighbors working in their yards, and families enjoying our waterfront, parks, and neighborhoods. After the darker months of winter, our city begins to feel a little more alive again.  
  
Spring is also a good time to think about what youโ€™d like to accomplish in the months ahead. Whether itโ€™s spending more time outdoors, starting a new project, volunteering in the community, or simply taking a little extra time to appreciate the beauty of the place we call home, this season offers a fresh start.  
  
Weโ€™re fortunate to live in a place as beautiful as Coos Bay, where the changing seasons are something we can truly see and feel. The months ahead hold a lot of promise for our community, and I look forward to continuing to work together to make our city an even better place to live, work, and enjoy.  
  
As we head into the weekend, take a few minutes to check your smoke detectors, set your clocks ahead, and enjoy the longer days ahead. And while youโ€™re at it, think about the goals you might want to reset or renew this spring.  
  
Hereโ€™s to a safe, hopeful, and welcoming start to the spring season in Coos Bay.
