OFFICER SPARKS PRESENTED WITH LIFESAVING AWARD On Friday, November 7, 2025, Officer Joseph Sparks was presented with a Lifesaving Award (with valor) at the Oregon Peace Officers’ Association annual banquet at the Spirit Mountain Casino in Grand Ronde, OR. Officer Sparks was nominated for the award by Captain Thomas Lindahl, the Operations Captain of the Coos Bay Police Department, for his heroic actions February 21, 2025. Below is an excerpt from the nomination Captain Lindahl submitted to the OPOA: “On February 21, 2025, while on dayshift patrol, Officer Joseph Sparks demonstrated extraordinary initiative and heroism that directly resulted in saving a man’s life. At approximately 1312 hours, after clearing a previous call, Officer Sparks noticed a medical emergency in the dispatch queue. Although the Coos Bay Police Department does not typically respond to medical calls, Officer Sparks reviewed the call details and learned that an elderly male was choking on a sandwich. Officer Sparks arrived and began administering life-saving aid within three minutes of the initial 911 call—well before paramedics. His quick thinking, composure under pressure, and willingness to act outside the typical scope of duty were instrumental in preventing what would have likely been a fatal outcome. Officer Sparks’ selfless actions exemplify the highest standards of public service and reflect great credit upon himself and the Coos Bay Police Department. His courage and commitment to the preservation of life make him highly deserving of the Life Saving Award.” Please join us in congratulating Officer Joseph Sparks!Photos from Coos Bay - City Government's post

MAYOR'S MESSAGE Turning Housing Ideas into Action Earlier this week, community leaders, housing partners, and industry professionals gathered at the Let’s Build the South Coast event at Ko-Kwel Casino & Resort. This all-day workshop, hosted by Southern Oregon Coast Regional Housing and facilitated by the Missing Middle Housing Fund, focused on real, actionable solutions to our region’s housing challenges—looking at everything from innovative housing products and design, to financing and funding tools, to regulations and policy, to the labor and workforce we need to actually build more homes. This well-attended event displayed the deep collaborative spirit of the South Coast. Developers, housing innovators, contractors, lenders, housing and service non-profits, local and state officials, and community advocates all rolled up their sleeves together. Rather than talking in general terms about the “housing crisis,” the day was spent workshopping specific ideas and potential opportunities for the South Coast—right here in Coos Bay and our neighboring communities. Projects from Reedsport, North Bend, Coos Bay, Bandon, and Gold Beach were shared to get the creative thought-process underway. As Nathan Wildfire, Executive Director of the Missing Middle Housing Fund, often shares, housing solutions don’t come from any single “silver bullet”; they come from partnerships, creativity, and persistence. Events like Let’s Build the South Coast help us line up the tools, relationships, and next steps needed to turn plans into shovels in the ground. I want to thank Southern Oregon Coast Regional Housing, the Missing Middle Housing Fund, Ko-Kwel Casino & Resort, and everyone who invested their time and expertise in this work. A special thanks goes out to the event sponsors: Southern Oregon Workforce Investment Board, CCD Business Development Corporation, Simplicity Homes, Hayden Homes, and Southern Oregon Coast Regional Housing. As we move forward, the City of Coos Bay will continue to be an active partner in advancing the ideas that emerged from this workshop and pursuing every opportunity to add safe, attainable housing for the people who live and raise families on the South Coast. -Joe Benetti, Mayor of Coos Bay

IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES AT THE LIBRARY November is International Games Month and the staff at the Coos Bay Public Library are happy to help you join in on the fun. We have games of all types that you can enjoy at home or sample with other community members at our monthly Game Night. Tabletop gamers rejoice! We have over 150 board games available for checkout, many of which would cost $40+ if purchased on your own. These include everything from kids’ games like ‘Pete the Cat Groovy Friendship Game’ and ‘It’s a Small World’ to more complicated games like ‘Dune’ or ‘Settlers of Catan’ (and its many expansion packs and variants). If classic games are more your cup of tea, we also have nostalgic picks like ‘Monopoly’, ‘Scrabble’, and ‘Trivial Pursuit’. Whether you like focusing on strategy, cooperation, or puzzles, we invite you to come check out (pun intended) our selection. If you are looking to meet other teen & adult players, try our monthly Game Night on the last Friday of each month. We provide games, snacks, and beverages – you bring your competitive spirit! If you enjoy video games, we carry a diverse array of titles for gaming systems such as Play Station (2-5), Xbox One, and Switch. Instead of spending $70 on a game you may or may not like, try one for free with your library card. Each card holder can check out three games at a time, giving you plenty to do indoors during our wet winter. Whether you enjoy cozy life sims, roguelikes, role-playing games, or first-person shooters, our collection of video games promises to show you the latest & greatest both AAA and indie game studios have to offer. If you are looking for an activity that is a bit more relaxing, try one of our jigsaw puzzles. We always keep community puzzles on our big library tables behind new fiction, and doesn’t working on a puzzle while gazing out our large windows at the rain sound just delightful? If you prefer to do a puzzle at home, we have dozens of them waiting for you. From a simple 300 piece to a challenging double-sided 1000 piece, you’ll surely find a puzzle with a difficulty level & design to light up your winter days. As an added bonus, puzzles are “checked out” on an honor system. No need for a card; just let us know how many you are taking and bring them back when you're done! So, if you are looking for a way to celebrate International Game Month without breaking the bank, or just to while away a rainy afternoon and stay out of “Trouble,” take a “Risk” at the Coos Bay Public Library and we will be happy to “Clue” you in to a game that’s right for you. We promise you won’t be “Sorry!”
