The following was submitted by Journal contributor Stephanie Silvia:

Heather Bonser-Bishop, a 39-year-old mother, nonprofit consultant and active community member in Trinidad, drowned Saturday while paddle boarding with her husband and two daughters on the Chetco River. She and her 11-year-old daughter were behind the rest of the family when her board and line became tangled with a submerged tree, pulling her under. Curry County Sheriff John Bishop (no relation) said a man reported hearing a child cry for help on the riverbank shortly before 6 p.m. When deputies arrived, they could see a woman’s body under the water, caught on a tree. Bonser-Bishop’s body was recovered at about 7:30 p.m. by search and rescue personnel. The accident is under investigation.
