Lester Bachmann 1931-2015 Lester Bachmann, 83, of Cot- tage Grove passed away May 8, 2015. He was born June 13, 1931 in Moun- tain, Wisc. to Albert and Verna (Chase) Bachmann. Lester served in the U.S. Army as an Honor Guard and paratrooper, and was in the Army Reserves for eight addi- tional years. He received many military honors.

Les was the bass player for Take authority over your enemy I went to church for years and never heard about the devil. It’s not fun talking about him, and I don’t ever want to put too much focus on him. But the truth is, we have an enemy. First Peter 5:8 says, “…That en- emy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fi erce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.” It’s important for us to believe in the power and authority we have in Christ over our enemy so we can have the great life God wants us to have. There are so many Christians who seem to be going through their daily life just hoping they can get through the day. They go from one problem or crisis to the next, and they lack a confi - dent, bold faith in God that can keep them stable and full of His peace and joy in the diffi cult cir- cumstances of life. The good news is, God doesn’t want us to live in the emergency room of life all the time. He wants us to get to the point where we know what to do to have a great life and take responsibility for ourselves, trusting we can do whatever we need to do through the strength we have in Christ (Philippians 4:13). This means we know who we are in Christ and how to walk in the authority we have as believers in Jesus. The truth about what you have in Christ John 10:10 tells us Jesus gave His life so we can “have and enjoy life, and have it in abun- dance (to the full, till it over- fl ows)” (AMP). When we accept Christ as our Savior, we receive the assurance of eternal life, but we also become joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17) and are entitled to have everything He is and everything He has: grace, peace, righteousness, joy and power and authority over the enemy. Matthew 10:1 says, “Jesus summoned to Him His 12 dis- ciples and gave them power and authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of weakness and infi rmity” (AMP). This authority has been given to every believer. It’s important to understand that the devil has power, but we have power and authority in Christ. And our en- emy only has the authority that we give him. Many times we give him the ability to attack us through ignorance. Please see JOYCE, Page 12A PROBLEMS UNDERSTANDING SPEECH?

He was born at the McFarland Maternity Home in Cottage Grove Oregon on December 8, 1942. His actual name was George Edwin but everyone called him Ed or Eddie. He grew up in Culp Creek OR attending Culp Creek Elementary School and graduated from Cottage Grove High School in 1961 where he played basketball and football. Upon graduation his fi rst job was at Bohemia Lumber Co. building logging roads operating a 619 turn-pull, a large piece of machinery for a young man just out of high school. Th at fall he attended Shasta Junior College in Redding, CA. where he made a life-changing decision to leave school and do what he enjoyed operating heavy equipment. He moved back to Cottage Grove and worked for Elkside Lumber Co. operating yarders and shovels. He also served in the National Guard. During that time he met and married Esther McKinney and they had three sons, Tad, Stacy and Ross. To be nearer work he moved to Lakeside OR this also gave him the opportunity to pursue his love of the outdoors fi shing and hunting which he could share with his sons. In 1981 Esther passed away aft er a valiant battle with leukemia. Later he moved to La Pine, OR where he operated a self- loading logging truck. Aft er several years in Central Oregon he married Linda Reid and moved to Springfi eld where he worked for Eugene Sand and Gravel. Aft er retiring, his passion for fi shing became foremost. Nothing could be better than a day with his fi shing buddies Vance Hird and Jim Bean in pursuit of those illusive steelhead, salmon, trout or kokanee. Also in retirement he had a “hobby job” taking him all over the state driving a pilot car following trucks hauling large concrete bridge beams. Other interests included being a football fan of the Oregon Ducks, the 49’ers, Broncos and reluctantly the Seahawks. He called them “Seachickens” to tease his sister! Ed was also a very accomplished bowler carrying a high average. Several times he came within a pin of achieving that coveted 300-game. Of upmost importance in his life was his family. He was so proud of his sons’ achievements whether it was starting a logging company, racing cars or going to grad school. His grandchildren also brought him great joy and he loved attending their sporting and academic activities. Two years ago he met Kathy Vasquez who was also been very special in his life. Th ey enjoyed many wonderful times camping, traveling and just being together as she so lovingly cared for him during his illness. Another great comfort was his companion Ziggy a little Boston terrier who was always at his side. Ed will be remembered for always being ready to help others, his easy going spirit, sense of humor, integrity and courage giving inspiration to others as he faced a devastating illness. He will be missed greatly by his family and many friends. Ed was preceded in death by his parents George and Billee Hiatt and his wives Esther and Linda. Survivors include his three sons Tad and Stacy of Gold Beach OR and Ross of Blue Lake CA, six grandchildren and his sister Ida Ashbridge (Dale) of Federal Way WA. At his requested no services will be held.
