BANDON — After two hours of testimony 

June 27, the Bandon Planning 

Commission made no decision on 

prosposed revisions to the city’s 

Vacation Rental Dwellings ordinance. 

Instead, the commission will deliberate 

at their July 25 meeting. 

About 70 people turned out for the 

meeting, with the majority of those 

against making changes to the current 

ordinance. 

Vacation rentals are allowed as a conditional 

use only in the CD-1, CD-2 and 

C-3 zones. The CD-1 zone includes the 

area along Beach Loop and the west side 

of Seabird Drive; the CD-2 zone is 

mostly along the South Jetty and the C- 

3 zone is Marine Commercial along First 

Street. 

The proposed amendments would 

expand the areas to also include the CD- 

3, CD-R1 and CD-R2 zones. 

The CD-3 zone is the area at the west 

end of First Street near the old Robertson 

concrete plant; the CD-R1 zone is above 

Old Town on the bluff and includes 

Seventh Street and the Ocean Drive 

areas; and the CD-R2 zone is adjacent to 

the Pioneer and Catholic cemeteries 

along the bluff. 

The commission received dozens of 

Dead in the water 

letters on the issue. 

At the meeting, there were some collective 

outbursts over who was behind 

the proposed changes. 

“Who revisited this issue and why?” 

asked Jim Lawson, followed by echoes 

from the audience. 

Some testifying asserted that the 

commission was trying to increase the 

city’s revenue. More vacation rentals 

means additional transient occupancy 

tax money, which is deposited into the 

city’s general fund. 

But Planning Commission Chairman 

Harv Schubothe said revenue did not 

factor into the commission’s decision to

assist. The route starts at Ninth Street and 

winds down U.S. Highway 101, then

Fried fish and firecrackers 

History: Fish fry 

building still stands 

today in City Park 

By Jim Proehl 

Contributing Writer 

BANDON — The Chamber of 

Commerce fish fry was the highlight of 

the July 4 celebration in Bandon in 

1949, according to the Bandon 

Historical Society. 

The Coos Bay Times sent a photographer 

to record the event. The Coos 

Historical and Maritime Museum 

shared that photographer’s pictures 

with the Bandon museum. 

A flip board display at the Bandon 

museum illustrates the holiday. 

The Western World for June 6, 1949, 

reported, “about 4,000 people received 

golden-brown fillets of French-fried 

deep-sea fish — about 1,300 pounds of 

it — with compliments of the Bandon 

chamber of commerce, at the second 

annual free fish fry in the city park.” 

“In addition to the 1,292 pounds of 

filleted fish, chamber members dispensed 

nearly 2,000 cups of coffee, 

with cream, from the new permanent 

fish fry building constructed for the 

event at the park,” continued the 

Western World article. 

The building constructed for the 

1949 fish fry is still part of Bandon’s 

City Park. 

“All of the fish served was caught by 

a number of chamber fishing parties 

and held frozen for the event. Women 

worked with chamber committees in 

cutting and breading the slices of tasty 

fish,” reported the Western World. 

Bandon celebrated the Fourth that 

year with three days of events. The 

Westmost golf course hosted a threeday 

tournament. Bum Gartin’s orchestra 

played dances at The Barn. Guided 

auto sight-seeing tours left the visitor’s 

center twice a day. Roseburg played 

Bandon in the City Park baseball field. 

Children’s contests ran through the 

day of the fourth at City Park. Mary 

Dufort, now Bandon’s Mayor Mary 

Schamehorn, won the girls’ egg race. 

Double murder suspect gets life in prison 

By George Artsitas 


COQUILLE — Just underneath 

their right eyes, Ruth 

Michaeux and Vellona Tuell 

wear permanent tattoos of 

two rolling tear drops. 

The tattoos are meant to 

be permanent reminders of 

Milton Leach and George 

Michaeux III, the two family 

members they saw shot and 

killed by Timothy Henson on 

U.S. Highway 101 just north 

of Bandon on Sept. 2. 

Henson will have his own 

permanent reminder of the 

two victims — a life sentence 

in prison he received 

Thursday in Coos County 

court. 

Henson, 44, was 

found guilty June 26 

of two counts each 

of aggravated murder 

and seconddegree 

kidnapping, 

as well a fourthdegree 

assault. He 

was sentenced to 

two consecutive life 

sentences that allow 

him parole. He was given 

separate sentences for kidnapping 

and assault, which 

Timothy 

Henson 

will run concurrently to the 

life sentence. 

Because the murder sentences 

are consecutive, 

Henson will 

not be eligible for 

parole until he is 104 

years old. 

The murder trial 

started June 24 and 

lasted two days. 

During testimony, 

Tuell and her mother 

Ruth Micheaux 

described how they 

were in the car when they 

claim Henson shot Leach 

and George Michaeux III in

the head. The two women 

corroborated each other’s 

story while on the stand. 

The women described 

Henson as sitting in the rear 

passenger seat with his wife, 

Tuell, when he allegedly put 

a gun to the back of Leach’s 

head, who was sitting in the 

passenger seat. 

Tuell said she noticed 

Henson and yelled, “No, not 

my dad,” while struggling to 

stop him. A shot allegedly 

was fired, but it was not clear 

if anyone was injured from

‘Shoe’ Gaspar is 

parade grand marshal 

BANDON — Bob “Shoe” Gaspar will be honored 

as this year’s Fourth of July 2013 parade grand marshal. 

Gaspar was born on November 26, 1941. He 

graduated from high school in 1959, and graduated 

from Pasadena City College in 1963. A year later in 

1964, he was drafted into the U.S. Army and was 

stationed at Fort Knox, KY. He was attached to the 

7th Field Hospital, which handled the increasing 

numbers of casualties from Vietnam. Upon his 

release from active duty in February 1966, he spent 

four years in the U.S. Army Reserves. 

Gaspar met and married his wife Faith on June 

14, 1980, and in July the couple moved to Bandon. 

He and Faith have two children: A daughter, Sarah, 

and a son, Steven. 

Gaspar joined the U.S. Coast Guard Reserves in 

1983 and served for 16 years in the Motor Life Boat 

Station in Charleston, with 12 of those as a Motor 

Life Boat Coxswain. He retired as a chief boatswain’s 

mate on Dec. 7, 2001 due to his combined service of 

24 years. 

Gaspar has worked at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort 

since 1999, where he is well known, liked and 

respected. 

His co-workers and friends fondly refer to him 

as “Shoe.” The nickname came about when a golf 

writer golfed the Dunes prior to its opening and, 

upon seeing the vertically challenged Gaspar said, 

“you remind me a lot of jockey Bill Shoemaker. We'll 

call you Shoe." 

General Manager Josh Lesnik then started calling 

Gaspar “Shoe” and the name stuck.

BANDON — Several teachers 

and staff members have retired 

from the Bandon School District 

this year. All of them were honored 

at a reception in the district cafeteria 

last month. 

Superintendent Diane Buche 

also acknowledged the teachers at 

the Class of 2013 graduation and 

awarded Bandon High School 

Principal Gaye Knapp with a special 

certificate for her 38 years with 

the district and for “finally graduating” 

from BHS. 

Knapp graduated from Southern 

Oregon College and began working 

for the district in 1974. She taught 

both junior high and PE. Knapp 

was instrumental in bringing the 

district into compliance with a law 

passed in 1972 to ensure girls equal 

access to sports program, including 

coaching, equipment and facilities. 

In addition to teaching, Knapp 

was the girls basketball coach, 

assistant track coach, softball 

coach, junior varsity volleyball 

coach, junior high girls and boys 

basketball coach and others. 

Over the years, she organized 

and chaperoned countless students 

activities, including intramurals 

— her favorite being badminton 

— dances, senior trips and 

more. 

Knapp served as the high school 

Dean of Students and in 2005 she 

became the BHS principal. 

“During her eight years as principal, 

she has held her students and 

staff to high standards and she 

expects success and she has gotten 

it,” Buche said. “And Ms. Knapp 

has been exceptional in promoting 

school spirit and pride.” 

Prior to being hired in Bandon,

teacher Bob Frazier, left, and BHS

the district cafeteria prior to graduation 

exercises last month. They are 

part of a large group of employees 

retiring from the School District this 

year. A photo of the entire group will 

run in next week’s Western World. 

Knapp served as a substitute 

teacher in Coos Bay and North 

Bend. She was a successful tennis, 

volleyball and basketball player in 

college and not many, even today, 

could beat her in badminton. She 

was a lifeguard and swim instructor. 

She played on a semi-professional 

softball team and she was 

the first woman to become a 

licensed tugboat pilot. 

“She graduated from Marshfield 

High School, where once a Pirate, 

always a Pirate, but she came to 

Bandon in 1974, and, after 38 years, 

as a Bandon Tiger, Ms. Knapp’s 

stripes truly run deep,” Buche said. 

Others who retired this year also 

included long-time employees: 

Sandy Sowers, worked in food 

service and then transportation as 

a bus driver: 38 years in district.

“The national tournament 

is a tremendous 

opportunity for learning — 

from judging rounds to 

attending coaches workshops, 

to brainstorming 

with other coaches for 

ideas to improve curriculum 

and technique,”

James Lewis Haseltine 

Nov. 7, 1924 - June 12, 2013 

James Lewis Haseltine, husband, father, and longtime 

champion of Northwest arts and artists, died after a short 

illness in Bandon, June 12, 2013. He was 88. 

Jim Haseltine was born Nov. 7, 1924, in Portland, Ore., 

the first child of William A. Haseltine and Clara Scharpf 

Haseltine. He graduated from U.S. Grant High School in 

1943, and immediately afterward 

shipped out to Europe, serving as an 

U.S. Army infantryman in World War II. 

After his return to Portland, Jim 

attended Reed College and began his 

formal study of art and artists at 

Portland’s Museum Art School, then 

studied at the Art Institute of Chicago 

and the Brooklyn Museum School in 

New York. He began producing his own 

paintings and drawings during this 

time, while working for the family’s 

industrial supply firm, J.E. Haseltine & 

Co., as vice president and general manager. 

Jim played a key role in the development of the emerging 

Northwest arts scene, serving as a trustee of the 

Portland Art Museum, a founding member of the 

Portland Arts Commission, on the National Endowment 

for the Arts, and as local chapter chairman and then 

national director of the Artists Equity Association, which 

established rights for artists in Portland and nationally. 

In 1961, Jim was named director of the Salt Lake City 

Center for the Arts, and in 1967 became executive director 

of the Washington State Arts Commission. He went to 

the legislature every year to defend the budget of the Arts 

Commission and to help lawmakers understand the true 

value of art and culture for the public. Jim was instrumental 

in pioneering the requirement that 1 percent of a 

public building’s budget be dedicated to art, an innovation 

which caught on 

across the country. 

In addition to arts advocacy, 

Jim was an accomplished 

artist himself; he 

exhibited widely around 

the country and his work 

was recognized with 

numerous awards. The 

Portland Art Museum, 

Oakland Art Museum, and 

the Museum of Art at the 

University of Oregon all 

have Jim’s paintings and 

etchings in their collections. 

His book, “100 Years 

of Utah Painting,” was 

published in 1965. 

During his first marriage, 

Jim had two children, 

Tom and Jean. When the 

marriage ended, Jim married 

Margaret Ann 

“Maury” Wilson Janney 

and adopted Maury’s children, 

Kay and Suzy. Jim and 

Maury were married for 44 

Portland Avenue. Nothing 

taken. 

1:38 p.m., possible violation 

of a restraining order in 

the 900 block of 13th Street 

Southwest. Caller contacted 

by phone. 

3:08 p.m., 30-year-old 

man with pack, crewcut, 

shirtless, dark gray or green

Thursday, July 4, 2013 • Bandon Western World • A3 

June 24. 

According to an Oregon State Police 

log, officers were dispatched at about 

10:30 a.m. to investigate a report of a 

reckless driver, possibly driving under 

the influence, who was being followed 

by an off-duty officer. The driver 

appeared to be displaying a weapon during 

the incident and was reported to 

have been throwing items out of his 

vehicle. 

Joel George Reday, 64, of Bandon, was 

pulled over by OSP officer Kinney in the 

area of milepost 244 on U.S. Highway 

101 and consented to a search of his 

vehicle. During the investigation, Reday 

was showing signs of impairment, the 

report stated. The search revealed a 

hashish pipe and a smoking device. 

Reday had a medical marijuana card 

and was cited on charges of reckless 

driving and driving under the influence 

of a controlled substance. He was taken 

to the Coos County jail and lodged.

VRDs should stay the same 

The Planning Commission has proposed changes to 

the vacation rental dwelling (VRD) zoning which would 

remove any limits on the number of vacation rentals in 

Bandon. These proposals would expand the areas 

where VRDs could exist to any and all areas of Bandon. 

VRDs are currently classified as “commercial use” and 

they want to remove those words from the definition of 

VRDs which then would allow ANY house in Bandon to 

become a vacation rental. 

If these proposals are adopted, the Planning 

Commission would no longer have any control over 

VRDs in Bandon. If your next door neighbor wanted to 

turn his home into a vacation rental, he could. If you 

have a shared driveway and they have five cars at their 

vacation rental, well too bad for you. You no longer will 

have a say. Why would a Planning Commission be willing 

to give up such control? 

City Planner Charli Davis said that only 50 to 55 percent 

of the current VRDs are rented during the tourist 

season (June through September). This number is closer 

to 15 percent during the other eight months of the 

year according to a local property manager. If these 

proposals are adopted, there will be a lot more VRDs 

and, therefore, a lot more vacant homes in your neighborhood 

most of the year. 

They brought up the fact that 67 percent of the people 

who own houses on Beach Loop have their tax bills

WESTERN WORLD 

Editor: Amy Moss Strong

sent to addresses other than Bandon. They then 

assumed that the Bandon home sat vacant all year. It 

could be that the owner is at their second home at tax 

time so they have that bill sent there. It does not mean 

the owner does not spend time in Bandon. 

In a past meeting, Commissioner Kimes stated that 

he would rather have VRDs on these properties than 

vacant homes. I disagree with this assessment. The 

VRD would be vacant for eight months from October 

through May and 50 percent of the time in the other 

four “busy” months. 

Which would you rather have next to you – an owner 

occupied home which may be vacant part of the year or 

a vacation rental which will be vacant most of the year 

and also have such disadvantages as having vacationers 

coming and going at all times, noise and lots of cars? 

The majority of people at the Planning Commission 

meeting June 27 spoke against the proposals. They 

want to keep the community feeling of Bandon. They 

want to have neighbors they know. Several live in areas 

with VRDs and talked about longing to be part of a 

neighborhood and not be surrounded by transients. 

The municipal code was changed and updated in 

2005 when a previous Planning Commission studied 

this issue at length. The system has been working. You 

know the old saying…, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” 

The Planning Commission could have made a decision 

last night to withdraw these proposals and leave 

things as they are. However, they extended their decision 

time to their July meeting. If you don’t want 

homes on your street that will be vacant most of the 

year but filled with vacationers and their cars and noise 

during part of the summer, please write a letter to the 

Planning Commission right away as they are still 

accepting letters to help them decide.

BPCS thankful for dedication 

The students, parents and families, teachers and the 

Bandon Pacific Christian School board members want 

to extend a sincere “thank you” to Larry and Renee Cox 

of Bandon for hosting the delicious and fun barbecue 

for the graduating students on Sunday, June 9, at 

Bullards Beach State Park. 

Mr. Cox fired up the barbecue grill while the students 

ran, hiked, played games and flew kites donated 

by Mr. and Mrs. Tino Mallare. Cake was provided by 

Mrs. Naomi Handsaker and music was performed by 

Mr. Mallare and Mr. Farrell Fox. The graduates, Daniel 

Undell (high school senior), MacKenzie Handsaker and 

Dani Cox (eighth grade) had a great time as did all the 

other attendees. 

It is only with the help and dedication of family, 

friends and great teachers in our community that 

Bandon Pacific Christian School is able to offer its rigorous 

Christian-based K-12 programs. 

For information about the school, please call Janice 

Fox at 541-347-2764 or Verna Lopez at 541-290-7322.

Infant swim safety important 

My purpose for writing this letter is to ask for help in 

promoting the need for babies and toddlers to learn to 

rescue themselves if they happen to fall into deep 

water. Infantswim.com has amazing videos of babies 

who have learned how to flip over and float on their 

backs, then call for help. There is only one infant swimming 

resource instructor within 200 miles of Bandon, 

and that person is in Portland. Lessons are 10 minutes 

long every day, Monday through Friday, for four to six 

weeks and cost around $540. This is out of reach for 

most children in Bandon, and yet there is water danger 

everywhere, even in the bathtub. 

When my middle daughter, Jill, was a toddler, she 

was out in the back yard with her dad by the pool. Dad 

was working on the sprinkler system. While his back 

was turned, Jill tossed her plastic Mickey Mouse toy 

into the pool, then quietly walked down the steps to get 

it back. I happened to look outside, and asked my husband, 

“Where’s Jill?” We looked around, and she was 

nowhere to be seen. I looked in the pool and saw her 

standing on the bottom, holding her breath, looking up 

at me with her big brown eyes very wide. The water was 

about two feet deeper than she was tall. Dad jumped in 

and rescued her — she had not swallowed any water, 

didn't even cry, so the event was eerily calm, but the 

result could have been so different. She did not know 

how to get to the surface and float on her back. All children 

deserve to be taught that skill before they end up 

at the bottom of a pool. 

I want to be certified in the ISR program and give 

free classes to children in Bandon. My husband is 

working on a temporary engineering project in 

California, so for now we live in an apartment between 

Recently I began a list of disaster 

preparedness tips that are quick little 

things we can do, but can have a huge 

impact in case of a disaster. 

Thorough, comprehensive disaster preparedness 

can take significant amounts of time, 

but these tips will save you a ton of grief when 

the time comes. 

Tip No. 13: Make a list of all prescription 

medications, including dosages. Keep the list in 

your wallet or purse and a copy in your emergency 

kit. 

Tip No. 14: Take digital photos of every room 

in your house. Make a video if you have the 

capability and spend five minutes in every 

room. This will facilitate any after the fact 

insurance claims. 

Tip No. 15: Write down your insurance policy numbers 

and your agent’s phone number. Also place them 

in your wallet or purse and a copy in your emergency 

kit. 

Tip No. 16: Add $1 per week ($5 if you can afford it) 

to your emergency cash fund. Remember ATMS and 

credit card systems will be useless if the power grid 

goes down. 

Tip No. 17: Make digital copies of your important 

documents and store them on a flash drive. 

Tip No. 18: Make a backup copy of the data on your 

hard drive and store at a friend’s house or a safe deposit 

box. 

Tip No. 19: Locate a source of water outside your 

home such as a lake, pond or stream. 

Tip No. 20: Learn to cook a pot of rice. 

“When opinions are free, either in matters 

of government or religion, truth will finally 

and powerfully prevail.” 

— Thomas Paine 

pamphleteer, 1796 

San Francisco and Yosemite. There are ISR master 

instructors within driving distance of our apartment, 

with whom I can become certified (the training program 

is eight weeks — two hours in the pool and two 

hours out, Monday through Friday). The cost of certification 

is $7,000, not including travel and lodging. I 

would like to raise this money through my friends and 

family and the Bandon community, then give it back in 

the form of free self-rescue classes. 

I have a biology degree, have my scuba diving certification, 

have taught public school, and have been certified 

in CPR and first aid by the Red Cross. I’m in good 

health, am a grandmother of five boys, and I’m looking 

forward to giving back to the Bandon community! 

I am also looking for a private pool in Bandon where 

classes can be held. 

I have set up a GoFundMe account, the link 

is http://www.gofundme.com/3685bk. Folks can also 

mail me a check or a dollar in an envelope. I am asking 

for just a dollar from each person to help me pay for 

certification. Any excess funds will be donated to Red 

Cross. Anything you can do to spread the word will be 

most appreciated!

Find Stanley’s killer 

I would like to contribute $100 to a reward fund for 

the arrest and prosecution of the vile human(?) being 

who shot and killed Stanley, the goose, in Empire Lakes 

Park last month. 

In The World’s article about Stanley on Saturday, 

June 1, Chris Cameron is quoted as saying he hopes 

folks can help “catch the bastard that killed him.” 

I also hoping for the quick identification of the perp. 

He’s probably a mid-teen to mid-20s male with an 

obsession with guns. If we get a large enough reward 

together and there is an anonymous tip hotline, we 

should be able to catch the idiot. 

Why can’t we ever have anything nice? I hear that in 

Bandon we can’t even put up hanging flower pots in 

Old Town because people will knock them down. I’m 

all for privacy rights, but when a few ruin things for the 

majority, I say it’s time to have as many security cameras 

in place as possible. 

When Stanley’s killer is caught, there probably 

won’t be much punishment involved. I would like to 

suggest community service work at, perhaps, the Coos 

County Animal Shelter. Make him work off his debt to 

society for the rest of the summer.

Also included in the show are works of several 

Southern Oregon artists and heritage quilts. A reception 

will be held 1-3 p.m. Sunday, July 7, at Southern 

Coos Hospital & Health Center in Bandon. 

Singer/songwriter Jean Klewitz will perform and 

refreshments will be provided by the hospital auxiliary. 

Heritage quilts are created by groups of women in 

India who work with recycled fabric. Other artists 

include: Tod and Jeannie Steel of Gold Beach, Holly 

Werner and Jon Leach of Roseburg, and local artists 

Susan Lehman, Pat Snyder, Stephanie Donaldson, Ava 

Richey, Yvonne and Michael Ousley, Victoria Tierney 

and Kelle Herrick. 

“Art was his life, and he was my life,” said Cricket 

Farmer, who will be providing 18 pieces from her private 

collection of her late husband’s paintings, drawings 

and etchings. 

The award-winning Farmer mastered a variety of 

media, often grinding his own pigments to make his 

bold works. Farmer captured awards first in California, 

later in Brookings (where he lived for many years as a 

well-respected member of the artist community) and 

finally in Coos Bay, where he resided and taught painting 

at Southwestern Oregon Community College. 

“Collaborations” can be seen 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily 

through September. The exhibit is sponsored by 

Southern Coos Hospital in conjunction with AVK Arts,

‘The Little Mermaid Jr.’ opens July 12 

The Bandon-based youth theater program New 

Artists Productions will present Disney’s “The Little 

Mermaid Jr.” as its 2013 summer musical. The production 

features a cast of 50 student actors making a big 

splash at the Sprague Community Theater. The actors, 

from Bandon, Coos Bay, Coquille, North Bend and 

Sixes, have worked for nearly three months to bring the 

musical to the stage. 

Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.” is loosely based 

upon the story by Hans Christian Andersen, and 

adapted from Disney’s 2008 Broadway production. 

The score features “Part of Your World,” “She’s in 

Love,” “Kiss the Girl,” “Poor Unfortunate Souls,” 

“Human Stuff” and the Academy Award-winning Best 

Original Song, “Under the Sea,” composed by eighttime 

Academy Award winner Alan Menken and his 

longtime collaborator, the late Howard Ashman, as well 

as new songs by Menken and lyricist Glenn Slater. 

The story unfolds in a magical kingdom fathoms 

below, where the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs 

to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. But 

first, she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton; make a 

deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince 

Prince Eric that she’s the girl with the enchanting 

voice. 

According to Anita Almich, who is co-directing the 

play with husband, Dan, the production “will be fun for 

the whole family and includes lots of laughs, thoughtful 

moments and unbelievable singing, dancing and 

costumes.” 

“Don’t miss this live production showcasing some 

of the South Coast’s most talented youth,” Almich said. 

Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.” runs for two 

weekends: July 12, 13 and 14, and July 19, 20 and 21, at 

the Sprague Community Theater, 1202 11th St. S.W. in 

Bandon. Show times are 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays 

and 2 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are available at Bandon 

True Value or at the door. Tickets cost $10 for adults, $8 

for senior citizens and $5 for students (K-12), and can 

be reserved by calling the Almichs at 541-347-2517.

July library art 

The July art display at the Bandon Public Library 

features the photography of Susan Tree will be featured 

in the library’s hallway gallery and “A Potpourri of 

Buttons” in the glass cases. 

“I like looking at life especially in nature, seeing a 

world changing, moving, living, dying,” Tree said. 

“Photography to me is like taking a part of nature and 

looking at it more deeply, focusing in on certain aspects 

you might not see when looking at the whole of it. A 

picture should draw you in, make you look just a little 

closer. Seeing our fragile ecosystems on the brink of 

changes pushes me to want to share the beauty of 

nature through my photos and tell a story about the 

world we live in. I also hope with these photos to make 

people aware of how special our planet is and that we 

really do need to take care. 

The button display, hosted by the South Coast 

Button Club, will include sewing buttons from the Civil 

War era to modern times. The display will include buttons 

made from various types of metals, wood, celluloid, 

synthetic polymers, ivory and shell. 

“While many of us remember the joy and fascination 

of sorting through 

our grandmother's button 

box, few of our grandmothers 

saved buttons 

like the ones you will see 

on display at the Bandon 

library during the month 

of July,” said a member. 

The South Coast 

Button Club generally 

meets monthly on a 

Saturday at the Bandon 

library. It is one of the 

newest button collecting 

clubs in Oregon and 

began three years ago 

after a local collector 

hosted an educational 

presentation on collecting 

and preserving these 

“miniature works of art.” 

Collecting interesting 

buttons was among the 

top three national hobbies 

in the 1940s and 1950s. 

Today, the tradition continues 

on an international 

scale. The daily listings on 

eBay for vintage and 

antique sewing buttons 

number more than 

30,000. The National 

Button Society currently 

enjoys more than 25,000 

members, while the 

Oregon State Button 

Society, founded in 1948, 

has around 300 members. 

In conjunction with 

the library display, the 

South Coast Button Club 

will host Jocelyn Howells, 

former Oregon State 

Button Society President 

and a nationally known 

author, button collector 

and educator. Howells has 

written two books on collecting 

antique and vintage 

buttons. 

Howells will be featured 

at noon Saturday, 

July 20, in the Sprague

‘Grease’ the musical coming to Sprague 

Bandon Playhouse will revisit the 1950s when it 

takes the stage with “Grease” the musical the first three 

weekends in August at the Sprague Community 

Theater. 

“Grease” takes place in and around the fictitious 

Rydell High School, Class of 1959. Head bad boy 

“greaser” Danny Zuko (Clint Guevara) and new (good) 

girl Sandy Dumbrowski (Jenn Winchell) try to relive the 

high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of 

the gang sings and dances its way through such songs 

as “Greased Lightnin’,” “Freddy My Love,” “Look at Me 

I’m Sandra Dee,” “We Go Together,” “It’s Raining On 

Prom Night,” “Sandy” “Beauty School Dropout” and 

“You’re The One That I Want,” recalling the music of 

Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that 

became the soundtrack of a generation. 

Other cast members include Meghan Ross as Rizzo; 

Mike Corral as Kinickie: Shannon Burruss as Patty; 

Autumn Moss-Strong as Marty; Wlnsvey Campos as 

Jan; Nick Cobbinah as Sonny; Sam Augsburger as 

Roger; Jenna Neason as Doody; Stephanie Gordon as 

Frenchy; David Neel as young Eugene; Kasia Tuma, 

Ariel Elstad and Kailyn Roth as cheerleaders; Gareth 

Williams as adult Eugene; Dan Barnett as Vince 

Fontaine; Amy Moss Strong as Miss Lynch; and Lori 

Straley as Radio Voice. 

An eight-year run on Broadway and two subsequent 

revivals along with innumerable school and 

community productions place “Grease” among the 

world's most popular musicals. Everywhere it opened, 

“Grease” struck a universal chord with its irresistible 

mix of adolescent angst, vibrant physicality and 1950s 

pop culture. 

“Grease” is directed by Kathie Lecce and co-produced 

by Bill Binnewies and Amy Moss Strong, 

The show opens Friday, Aug. 2, with a special gala 

and continues Aug. 3 and 4; Aug. 9, 10 and 11; and Aug. 

16, 17 and 18, at the Sprague Community Theater, 1202

shows are at 7:30 p.m. (except the opening night gala, 

which begins at 6 p.m.) and Sunday matinees are at 2 p.m.

Aces are wild at 

Bandon Crossings 


Three golfers had aces at Bandon Crossings 

within the past few weeks. 

Margaret Thomas of Coquille had a hole-in-one 

at Bandon Crossings during Women’s Day on June 

13. Thomas had her ace on the 17th hole at the 

course. She used her pitching wedge for the holein-one 

on the 60-yard hole. It was her second holein-one. 

Cassie Kennon, a 5-year-old Bandon resident, 

aced the same hole on Father’s Day while playing 

with her dad, Armando. Kennon’s brothers, Scotty 

and Jackson, both aced the same hole last summer. 

Damon Paul of Bandon had a hole-in-one on the 

sixth hole on June 11. He was playing the hole at 210 

yards. It was his second ace.

revisit the vacation rental 

ordinance and that no one 

person proposed the idea. 

“We were looking at a 

variety of issues as a commission,” 

Schubothe said. 

“I was looking for more 

discretion ... I could see the 

system was flawed so it was 

a ‘let’s talk about it,’ that 

was all.” 

Commissioner Sheri 

McGrath said the commission 

has been discussing 

revisions over the past nine 

months. 

“All of us agreed that 

this was not the perfect 

ordinance,” McGrath said. 

“We weren’t all in agreement 

(about how to change 

it) so we wanted to revisit 

it.” 

Commissioner Deborah 

Maher said the ordinance 

is a draft and the hearing 

was specifically to involve 

the public. 

“The larger picture is 

what does Bandon want to 

be and the list is not secret 

(and it) fits within the bigger 

context of a sense of 

community vision,” Maher 

said. 

The 

Fish 

amendments 

The fireworks display 

was launched from the bluff 

at the end of 11th Street. 

“A gala 25-minute fireworks 

display at the beach 

bluff, which cost the chamber 

$10 per minute, was 

seen by thousands. The colorful 

pyrotechnics were 

augmented by many privately-launched 

displays at 

the beach,” reported the 

Western World. 

The Bandon Historical 

Society Museum has photographs 

of a number of 

local Fourth of July celebrations. 

The museum is 

located at the corner of 

Highway 101 and Fillmore 

Avenue and is open seven 

days a week, from 10 a.m. 

to 4 p.m., during the 

summer. 

Events 

would lift the current 

restriction of 30 percent of 

vacation rentals on properties 

within 250 feet of 

each other. They also 

would be reclassified as a 

non-commercial use. 

The proposal does not 

include the R-1 or R-2 residential 

zones, but homeowners 

were notified. 

“The commission stated 

that the R1 and R2 are 

not being considered at 

this time but that we could 

be affected (in the future),” 

said resident Judy Smilin. 

“Why would we receive 

letters saying our properties 

might be affected if 

they won’t?” 

Others said allowing 

vacation rentals in residential 

zones would forever 

change the character of 

the neighborhood and 

would compromise the 

safety of its residents. 

City Attorney Fred 

Carleton also warned the 

commission against lifting 

VRD restrictions, saying it 

wouldn’t give the commission 

an option to deny 

requests. 

Motel owners Ed 

Backholm and Marc 

Dryden told the commission 

the proposed changes 

would negatively affect 

their business. 

Local News 

“Our industry is still in 

recovery,” Backholm said. 

“By lifting the 30 percent 

restriction and opening it 

up to 100 percent is adding 

inventory to a business 

that will only dilute the 

customer base.” 

Dryden said business 

has been down significantly 

since 2008. Motel 

rentals for the entire South 

Coast are down 7.5 percent 

from last year. 

“We do compete with 

vacation rentals,” Dryden 

said. “If we divide the pie 

further it will erode the 

health of lodging, campsite 

and vacation rentals.” 

Dave Schradieck, who 

owns a vacation rental 

management company, 

was one of the few in 

attendance who feels the 

city would benefit from 

lifting restrictions on 

vacation rentals, saying it 

would increase the city’s 

transient occupancy tax 

receipts and would add to 

the availability of options 

for visitors. 

After taking testimony 

the commission closed the 

hearing, then reopened it

Plenty for all 

Chamber of Commerce volunteers caught, cooked 

and served about 1,300 pounds of fish for the second 

annual fish fry in the City Park on July 4, 1949. 

Verdict 

the first shot. The driver, 

Micheaux III, stopped the 

car immediately, Tuell 

said. 

She claimed Leach 

then got out of the car and 

Henson opened fire on 

him, killing him with 

multiple shots to the forehead. 

Tuell said she was shot 

in the arm. 

After Leach and Tuell 

were shot, Micheaux 

allegedly came out from 

behind the car unarmed 

and with his hands up. 

The women said Henson 

shot him multiple times, 

at least once by the car 

and once fatally as he lay 

dying near the highway's 

fog line. 

“There, he’s not in pain 

anymore,” Ruth Micheaux 

alleged Henson to say after 

Micheaux III was dead. 

As slides of the victims’ 

bullet wounds 

popped up on Coos 

County District Attorney 

R. Paul Frasier’s projector, 

cries rang through the air 

in the courtroom. 

After the shootings, 

the women claimed 

Henson forced them back 

into the car, kidnapping 

them and making his wife 

drive. 

“He had guns pointed 

at my mom’s head and I 

didn’t want him to shoot 

her,” Tuell explained. “I 

just wanted it to stop and 

all go away.” 

Afterward, Henson 

went through hyper mood 

swings, according to testimony. 

He allegedly told 

Michaeux, “I would never 

hurt you,” one moment, 

and then press his face 

against his wife’s face and 

angle the gun so he could 

shoot both of them in one 

shot. 

“That wasn’t him in 

the back seat at all,” said 

Tuell. 

The women claimed 

Henson had them stop the 

vehicle a few miles from 

the shooting, where he 

tried to hide the gun used 

in the killings and himself 


from approaching law 

enforcement officers. 

Police eventually 

found Henson hiding in 

the bushes with his shirt 

off and placed him in custody. 

Everyone except for 

Leach — who was diagnosed 

with terminal cancer 

and visiting Bandon to 

find a place to spread his 

ashes — was using 

methamphetamine 

throughout the weekend, 

according to toxicology 

reports. 

While no definitive 

motive has been established 

in the case, Tuell 

said Henson was 

“uncomfortable” with 

Leach around the time of 

the shooting. Everyone in 

the car at the time of the 

incident had been living 

together in Myrtle Creek. 

Henson’s defense 

attorneys argued he acted 

in self-defense. 

A deal cut between 

Frasier and the defense 

before the trial guaranteed 

the verdict would be 

handed down by Judge 

Richard L. Barron instead 

of a jury. The deal was 

made in exchange for 

Frasier giving up the 

death penalty as a sentencing 

option. 

During sentencing 

Wednesday, cries rang out 

throughout the courtroom. 

Even defense attorney 

Katherine Berger 

began to well up when she 

gave Judge Barron her 

recommended sentencing. 

Tuell gave words of 

comfort before she blew a 

kiss to her husband and 

exited the courtroom 

sobbing. 

“I said I would be your 



“He had guns pointed at my 

mom’s head and I didn’t want him 

to shoot her. I just wanted it to 

stop and all go away.” 

— Vellona Tuell, shooting survivor 

wife until the last breath I 

have in my body,” Tuell 

said. 

Barron delivered his 

verdict without pause 

after closing statements. 

“You can’t start a gun 

fight and then say you’re 

defending yourself when 

somebody might draw a 

gun and shoot back at 

you,” Barron said. 

“Frankly, no reasonable 

person would be around 

these people that weekend.” 

The prosecution 

argued Henson showed 

intent to kill because he 

had to cock the gun and 

fire multiple times to kill 

the men. Frasier 

described the nature of 

the killing as “simply an 

execution,” and argued 

there was no justification 

for what Henson did. 

Frasier has not lost a 

murder case since he was 

elected to office in 2008. 

When Judge Barron 

finally handed down the 

sentence, he spoke so soft 

the first two rows in the 

courtroom had to lean 

forward to hear him. 

Henson’s family gave an 

audible sigh of relief when 

they heard the words “eligible 

for parole” — only to 

find out later Henson’s 

parole chance would not 

come for 60 years. 

The defense declined 

comment after the trial, 

but co-counsel Peter Fahy 

did release a statement 

saying, “this is an all 

around tragedy for all 

concerned.” 

Henson will be transported 

from Coos County 

Jail to Oregon 

Department 

of 

Corrections within the 

next week.

Booty Barre class 

is a workout trend 

BANDON — One of the 

hottest new fitness trends 

in the world has come to 

Bandon. Booty Barre, a 

new class offered at 

Masterpiece Fitness 

Training, is a workout that 

fuses fitness techniques 

from dance, pilates and 

yoga. However, no dance 

experience is necessary. 

Booty Barre is a combination 

of strength and 

flexibility with added cardio 

to help get or keep 

participants in excellent 

physical fitness. 

“The Booty Barre is 

about strengthening and 

lengthening, creating 

great muscle tone and 

results you can see,” said 

Sarah Sinko, a Booty Barre 

certified instructor who 

taught at Olypmic Fitness 

near Seattle before moving 

to Bandon in March. 

“People with very little 

fitness background might 

be interested in this class 

as it is low impact and 

Sarah does an excellent 


World 

BANDON — The first 

event at the recently 

opened Riverside Studio 

in Bandon will be a basketmaking 

class using 

native coastal barks, 

grasses and roots, taught 

by the Northwest master 

basket maker Nan 

MacDonald. The class will 

be held July 12, 13 and 14. 

The class includes gathering 

and processing materials 

on the first day, with 

basket construction the 

next two days. MacDonald 

is well known for her 

beautifully designed and 

well-made baskets. 

Riverside Studio is the 

vision of John Bealey, who 

spent the last year and a 

half turning a decrepit old 

house into a small pottery 

studio on 346 Riverside 

Drive. He is planning more 

workshops in the future 

with local artists as well as 

some pottery classes. The 

studio has a display area 

and the hours are 11 a.m. 

to 4 p.m. Tuesday through 

Saturday. 

Bealey was formerly an 

art teacher in the Coquille 

Valley schools after moving 

to the area from 

Kodiak, Alaska where he 

also taught art for 23 

years. He was also instrumental 

in helping start 

Mother’s Natural Grocery 

in Bandon 18 years ago as 

well as starting pottery 

classes at the Coquille 

Valley Art Center.

to super-athletes,” 

said Bowden, who 

has been teaching fitness 

for more than 25 years.

another excellent example 

of a class that suits 

just about all fitness levels,

BUSINESS / Community 

By Geneva Miller 

Since 2013 CNN Travel 

pollsters ranked Bandon 

beaches among the best 

in the world, trainer 

Andrea Bowden is taking 

her workout en plein air 

with weekly beach sessions 

through the summer. 

Bowden is owner of 


Training. She and her 

regular Boot Campers will 

hit the beach at 6:30 a.m. 

Thursday, July 4, at 

Devil’s Kitchen State 

Park. Newcomers and 

visitors are invited to 

attend the Independence 

Day workout for free. 

“What better way to 

spend your time exercising 

than on the beach, “ 

said Bowden. “The free 

Fourth of July workout is 

just a chance for people to 

come check it out. We get 

loud. It’s really fun.” 

Indoors or out, Boot 

Camp is Bandon resident 

Paula Thompson’s 

favorite workout. It’s a 

circuit style fitness session 

that combines intervals 

of body weight bearing 

movement and aerobic 

exercise. Fresh sea air and 

sand between her toes 

make beach Boot Camp 

even more appealing. 

“You start your day out 

great. You get your sweat 

on, and you learn exercises 

you can do on your 

own,” said Thompson. 

“It’s for anybody and 

everybody. If you know 

how to work out, you 

increase the intensity. If 

you need to slow down, 

you can.” 

“Wear comfortable 

clothing you don’t mind 

getting sandy,” said 

Bowden. “Shoes are 

optional.” 

Devil’s Kitchen State 

Park access is located off 

Beach Loop Drive, just 

south of Saturn Lane. 

Follow the footpath at the 

Business By-The-Sea 

south side of the parking 

area. Boot campers 

should bring water bottles; 

Bowden will supply 

fitness equipment. For 

more information, call 

Bowden, 541-260-8825. 

New bistro opens in 

Old Town 

Heirloom recipes 

nourish a growing family 

of diners at Sea Star 

Bistro. Mother-son duo 

Lori and Todd Parker 

serve the food they love to 

eat and share: Hearty 

sandwiches on homemade 

bread, flavorful 

pasta dishes, zesty Baja 

style tacos, all day breakfast 

choices, plus small 

plates for kids of all ages. 

“We’ve always been a 

family that loves to entertain 

and cook for a crowd, 

so we decided to open a 

restaurant,” said Lori. 

“The whole menu is 

just everything I’ve 

learned from family,” said 

Todd. 

The chocolate pie is 

Grandma Ruby’s recipe. 

Lori learned the 

Whisenhut Chicken and 

Shells pasta salad recipe 

from her mother. An 

experienced chef friend 

helped the Parkers polish 

the menu. And Lori 

tapped resources from the 

Coos County Health 

Department to get the 

business started. 

The Parkers moved to 

Bandon from Klamath 

Falls three years ago. Lori 

said meeting people at the 

restaurant, locals and visitors, 

is a pleasure. 

“I’ve met more people 

since opening than in the 

last three years I’ve been 

here,” she said. 

“I like seeing satisfied 

customers,” added Todd. 

“Seeing people bite into 

their sandwich, and they 

don’t want to put it down. 

People love those fish 

tacos.” 

Todd’s secret for great 

tasting fish? He bakes his 

fillets at a moderate temperature; 

he recommends 

350 degrees. And he uses 

a light hand in his seasoning, 

which includes white 

wine, lime and a dash of 

sriracha. 

Lori and Todd are big 

on taste — and since the 

Sea Star dining area is 

small on space, all menu 

items are available to go. 

Diners are welcome to call 

ahead for take-out orders. 

Look for fresh soup-ofthe-day 

and ask about 

gluten free pasta options.

Washing ashore and cleaning up after the Fourth 

BANDON — Washed 

Ashore is asking all 

Bandon residents to help 

clean the beaches of fireworks 

debris the night of 

and the day after this 

year’s Independence Day 

celebrations. 

The Bandon nonprofit 

that builds giant sculptures 

of sea life from 

ocean debris is leading a 

post-holiday beach 

clean-up to keep the 

residue from the Fourth of 

July celebration from 

reaching the sea and 

adding more debris to the 

world’s oceans. 

“Fourth of July fireworks 

leave an ugly mess 

on the beach that can 

head out to sea and hurt 

animals.” said Angela 

Haseltine Pozzi, Washed 

Ashore’s lead artist and 

executive director. 

The clean-up will be 

lead by Washed Ashore staff 

working with AmeriCorps 

volunteers who are currently 

assisting the nonprofit 

to process beach 

debris into giant sculptures 

of sea life with lots of help 

from the community. Free 

walk-in workshops for 

building sculptures run 

from 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday 

through Saturday and from 

6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday and 

Thursday evenings, at the 

Harbortown Events Center,
