SIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 2018 | 5A Account opened for family of Swisshome man killed in motorcycle accident MAPLETON—Late last Saturday, Aug. 4, Oregon State Police (OSP) re- ported to the scene of a fatal motor vehicle collision that occurred along Highway 36, near milepost 3, just east of Mapleton. At around 9:30 p.m., troopers arrived to find that a 2007 Honda CBR motorcy- cle, ridden by 36-year-old Trevor Bern- hardt of Swisshome, had struck the back end of a large 1998 Black Dodge Ram 1500 pickup, op- erated by Joshua Lee, age 24, of Mapleton. The OSP investigation de- termined that Bernhardt had been traveling eastbound when he rounded a corner and rear-ended the truck as it was turning northward onto Trevor Bernhardt North Fork Siuslaw Road. Bernhardt sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene by medi- cal personnel. Lee sustained no injuries in the accident. Bernhardt leaves behind his wife of 16 years, Adrianne Brooks, and their five children: Alissa, Ryan, Jeffrey, Arista and Hunter. An account has been set up at Ban- ner Bank in Adrianne Brooks’ name, from which donations will go directly to Brooks and her children. Oregon State Police was assisted on scene by Siuslaw Valley Fire and Rescue, Deadwood Creek Fire Service, Western Lane Ambulance Service and Oregon Department of Transportation. Friends of the Library seek donations for annual Labor Day Sale The Friends of the Siuslaw Public Library are preparing for their annual Labor Day week- end book sale, which will be held Saturday, Sept. 1, and Sun- day, Sep. 2, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day at the Siuslaw Public Library. Book sorters Duane Fowl- er and Jon Peak said that the Friends currently have more than 110 boxes of books for the sale but can use many more. If you don’t have any more room on your book shelves, then now is the perfect time to clean out all those books you’ve already read that are filling up your shelves and donate them to the Friends of the Library. The Friends gladly accept hardback, softcover and pocket paperbacks in good condition, along with DVDs, CDs and au- diobooks on CD in good condi- tion. No encyclopedia sets or Read- er’s Digest condensed books can be accepted, however. Donations are accepted at the main branch during all open hours of the library. Bring your donations to the circulation desk at the branch, and if you need a receipt for tax purposes be sure you have a count of how many of each kind of item that you are donating. The Friends of the Library is a nonprofit organization and all proceeds from the book sales benefit the Siuslaw Public Li- brary District. Library Director Meg Spencer recently reported to the Friends of the Library that more than $25,000 in Friends donations have gone towards the new roof on the main branch that is cur- rently being completed. So clean out your shelves, bring your books to the Friends, and help the Friends help the li- brary. For more information, con- tact siuslawlibrary friendsgmail. com for more information.
