Saturday, August 13, 1988 Obituaries Missing youth is focus of TV program I i fit i Iff '71 I (Continued from Page 1) more with this than a lot of other parents of missing children," she said. "A lot of them don't even get beyond their home town." But Jeremy Blight's case will go beyond hometown to a national audience which show producers say has proven effective in helping solve mysteries. According to Patterson, the show presents four mysteries in every one-hour segment.

She said viewers have furnished new information for the investigation in about one-third of the mysteries shown. "We are very optimistic, as the result of airing this, that we can get some information," Patterson said. "We may not be able to find him, but we may be able to answer some questions about what happened to Jeremy." According to Patterson, production crews will be in town Aug. 20 for four days of filming. Area actors are to be hired and scenes will be filmed at Highway 42's Hoffman Wayside, a Myrtle Point-area cabin, the Coos County Fair carnival, a Myrtle Point restaurant and other areas, she said.

"We'll present all the different theories, in this case, as to what happened to Jeremy Bright," Patterson said. According to Coos County Sheriff's Detective Steve Dalton, who has cooperated with the producing of the documentary-drama on the case he has been working on since it was turned over from Myrtle Point police in October 1986, the scenes will be dramatic creations of the four major rumors that have surfaced concerning Bright's disappearance and possible death. One prevalent rumor is that Jeremy was accidentally shot while swimming in the Coquille River and later buried, according to Dalton. Another common rumor is that Jeremy was at some "sort of party" during which he was administered a drug and overdosed, according to Dalton. In each of these two theories, rumors allege that others involved in these instances were afraid and subsequently disposed of Bright's body, Dalton said.

"Those are probably the most repeated rumors," Dalton said. "Locations varied and names varied, but those are basically the two scenarios heard over and over again." Another dramatization based on possible theories include the possibility that Bright was accidentally shot in target practice and taken to a remote cabin where he later died, Dalton said. Diane Bright, who in January 1987 moved to Coos County from Grants Pass to be closer to the investigation, said each of these scenarios seems as I frit.

Oregon's commercial ocean '-'crab season will close Aug. 15 after yielding the best harvest since 1982, the state Department of Fish and Wildlife says. Since the season opened last Dec. 1, commercial crabbers have landed about 8.5 million pounds of crab, well above the 1987 harvest of 4.7 million pounds. Biologists are reluctant to say whether the big harvest will extend to future seasons, but they note that the fishery does tend to have up and down cycles.

"We may be coming out of a down cycle now," said Darrell Demory, a state shellfish biologist in Newport. "But there's just no way of knowing that for sure. We aren't in a position to make accurate predictions on this. It is good, however, to see the fishermen have more success at long last." The season will reopen on Dec. 1.

Meanwhile, commercial crabbing will start Sept. 6 in Oregon bays. The bay season does not apply to the mouth of the Columbia River. Burglary alleged Coos County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 21-year-old Coquille man Friday afternoon on charges of first-degree burglary, according to the Coquille Police Department. Carl Dean McFarland was initially stopped in North Bend on a traffic violation, deputies said.

Two guns, a video cassette recorder and a television set previously stolen in Coquille were recovered, but police have not been able to find a stolen camera, according to Coquille police. McFarland was lodged in the Coos County Jail and was being held without bail as of Friday evening, according to jail officials. World photo by Charlie Kloppenburg Festival coming Labor Day weekend.

"I have seen Nancy helping to stack brush to clean up a park and sell balloons at the Gay 90s Celebration, but her best and most valuable attributes are the communications skills she brings to any group that she is involved with," Strain said. Strain noted that Haugland "assumed the chairmanship of the Coquille Development Force when 15 or 20 interested people backed off of even being a co-chairman." Haugland "got the Facific Power and Light Planning Department to come to Coquille and help us with our downtown plan," Strain reminisced. "She had the best ideas on how to approach the hearing process for the Coquille reroute, and she surveyed businesses to see how they felt about that route." The a ward-winner "is a true friend and avid supporter of Coos County and particularly of Coquille, and I believe that she is the most deserving citizen in this county to receive the Regional Citizen of the Year Award," Strain declared. Haugland volunteers for various commissions if she believes their service is important to the community, Strain said. She serves on the Coquille Valley Hospital Board and helps with the proposed annexation of Myrtle Point to the hospital district, Strain added.

Ted Ferguson and Howard Teague of the Port of Gold Beach nominated Schafer because of her work leading the successful drive to maintain the Gold Beach Summer Theater. Schafer "put in hundreds of hours' to hold the program together when others had too much to do," Ferguson said, "thereby assuring us of getting a new director and a successful tourist draw, which enhances the entire community's economic development."

"I'm hoping we have another success to add to the show, at least letting me know what happened," she said. The case has been active since shortly after Bright's disappearance. As recently as late last week four sheriff's deputies spent a day checking an anonymous tip that Bright's body was in a Myrtle Point-area well, Greene said. The search proved fruitless. Dalton, Greene and Sheriff Veral Tarno "thought long and hard" about cooperating with the production, but decided that after two years and "literally hundreds of man-hours," it was time to try something different in the case, Greene said.

Vets to face new loan plan SALEM, Ore. (AP) The state veterans' loan program is getting tough on foreclosures by turning the problem over to the tax collector. Officials at the Oregon Depart-; ment of Veterans' Affairs say that turning over foreclosure cases to the Department of Revenue for collection could help recover millions of dollars in losses on foreclosed property. The veterans' agency is trying to dig its way out of the deep financial hole it created by selling state-backed bonds at interest rates too high to cover the cost of providing low-interest loans for veterans.
