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. It’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.  
  
It’s a routine we follow every year, but it can also serve as a reminder of something a little bigger — reset your clocks, reset your goals.  
  
As the days grow longer and signs of spring begin to appear around Coos Bay, it’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 — 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 you’d like to accomplish in the months ahead. Whether it’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.  
  
We’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 you’re at it, think about the goals you might want to reset or renew this spring.  
  
Here’s to a safe, hopeful, and welcoming start to the spring season in Coos Bay.
