Horizon pullout dims airport gala
Southwestern Oregon Regional Airport opens its new terminal with a gala featuring 320 invited guests. But the festivities are overshadowed by Horizon Air’s announcement, just four days before, that it will discontinue its Portland-North Bend route in October. Congressman Peter DeFazio, speaking at the gala, promises that the South Coast won’t be left without service to Portland.
Other July news
• King Abdallah Hussein of Jordan roars into Myrtle Point on a Harley-Davidson for lunch at the Kozy Kitchen. Then almost as quickly as he came, the king and his entourage cruise out to explore their next treat on the South Coast.
• Titan Salvage crews get the New Carissa moving again. After spending the first part of the summer cutting away pieces of the shipwreck’s stubborn stern, Titan attaches six massive chains to the ship’s whittled-down remnant. The chains slowly tug the wreckage loose from the sand.
• The Port of Coos Bay applies to buy the abandoned Coos Bay rail line for $9.8 million.
• In a month of celebrations, SandFest returns to Coos County for the first time since the mid-1990s; North Bend holds July Jubilee; the Coos County Fair kicks off in Myrtle Point; and DuneFest roars into Winchester Bay.
