Police Chief InterviewsBy Evan Kramer

The Port Orford CityCouncil met on Tues-day, February 22 andwas offered Coast GuardHill Road. Lee Sparksfrom the Oregon De-partment of Transpor-tation made the offer to

the council. He said Coast Guard Hillroad at .7 miles in length was the shorteststate highway in Oregon. He said theOregon Transportation Commission hadgiven ODOT the mandate to approachcities with roads that shouldn’t be statehighways and either pay the cities to takethem over or trade property to the citiesfor taking over the roads. The Port Or-ford public works department recom-mendation was don’t take the highwaybecause it doesn’t meet city standards.Sparks said ODOT would be willing toupgrade the road and pay the city for 20years worth of maintenance. MayorAuborn said the city would want the roadbrought up to standards and include abike and pedestrian lane as well as beingcompensated for future maintenance. Thecity staff and council streets liaison CarlEskelson will work on this issue. Sparksindicated these things take time.

Under council liaison reports Carl Es-kelson said he had attended a recyclingmeeting and that Curry Transfer andRecycle reported they are breaking evenon recyclables but don’t have much usefor glass (they still accept it).

The council discussed the recent vandal-ism to Buffington Park. Seven trees weresawed down and others damaged in theattack. Councilor Steve Abbott made amotion that the city put $250 in a fund forthe arrest and conviction of the perpetra-tors of the tree cutting in the park. Themotion carried 5-0. Citizens can also putmoney into the reward fund and if noculprits are found the money will go theParks budget.

Councilor Ed Beck said the final com-pletion date for the sewer treatment plantupgrade is March 9. The City has re-quested 30 more hookups from DEQ.(The city received a letter from DEQdated Feb. 25 approving the 30 addition-al hookups.) He said there would be a“substantial completion” walk throughat the plant on Thursday, February 24.Beck is on the ordinance committee,which is working on an animal controlordinance. He said people should tell thecouncil what they want in the ordinance.

Mayor Auborn spoke about a UnitedStates Department of Agriculture com-

munity assistance grant for further reno-vation of the American Legion Hall andCommunity Building. The city will needa local matching grant but may be able toget that in the form of donated engineer-ing and other professional services. Themoney would go for the roof, ceilingsand lights in the American Legion Halland painting for the Community Build-ing.

Steve Donovan, SHN project engineerfor the sewer treatment plant upgradesaid the contract is in the liquidated dam-age phase with the city owed $750 a daybecause the project was not completedon time. The total damages could amountto $20,000-$25,000 which would bewithheld from the contractor Laskey Clif-ton. The substantial completion date forthe project was to have been February 4.The city can charge more than $750 a dayif their damages are more than that dur-ing this penalty phase as long as theaverage per day doesn’t come out tomore than $750.

The council discussed the new councilrules. Councilor Jim Campbell said hewanted citizens’ concerns at the front ofthe agenda and that he could accept theother changes in council rules. Council-or Abbott made a motion that the newcouncil rules be adopted except moving

Helping Businesses ProsperThe Gold Beach Chamber of Commerceis sponsoring the third annual “HelpingSmall Businesses Prosper on America’sWild River’s Coast” conference at theEvent Center in Gold Beach on Thurs-day, March 10. The purpose of the con-ference is to bring business owners in-formation, skills and resources pertain-ing to doing business on America’s WildRivers Coast. The conference starts at9:00am and concludes at 4:00pm.

Pre-registration to attend the conferenceis $20, which includes all workshops,lunch and speakers. Cost at the door is$25.00. To get a registration form inadvance call the Gold Beach Chamber ofCommerce at 541-247-0923.

The conference features two keynotespeakers – Craig Bradford speaking on“Organizing Your Business” and MarkDennett speaking on “Care and Feedingof Great Customers”. There will be nineworkshops on a variety of topics from“Financing Your Business” to Web SiteDevelopment 101. There will also beover a dozen resource exhibits and busi-ness service vendors at the conference.

PROmoting Port OrfordPRO – Preservation, Restoration andOrganization – is a new group formed bythe Port Orford Chamber of Commerce.Our purpose is to consider ways to en-sure future development is in keepingwith the character and spirit of our spe-cial city. And, to develop programs pro-moting the kind of tourism that supportour business community and respect ourhome.

We meet once a month and will be writ-ing a column to discuss the issues cov-ered during the meeting that we think thecommunity might be interested in. If youhave any comments or suggestions,please contact Jay Stoler(chamber@DiscoverPortOrford.com or332-8055). We appreciate your inputand will address it in meetings and inthis column when appropriate.

People in Port Orford want to protectwhat makes living here unique comparedto big city life. We pride ourselves onlack of traffic, safer streets and no stripmalls. We like our independence and,mainly, we want to protect the sense thatwe live in an unspoiled area and havestrong feelings about development. We

don’t want to become Lincoln City, oreven Bandon.

The PRO committee agrees with all ofthis and will be looking at any develop-ment issues that affect the quality of ourlife here as well as our ability to be anattractive destination spot for tourist ac-tivity that benefits our community. Pleasewatch this column for opportunities toprovide valuable comments and sugges-tions.

One of the first things we have discussedis the historical aspects of Port Orford.This gives us a sense of continuity as acommunity, and our historical attrac-tions are a valuable resource in encour-aging visitors in this area.

There are quite a few buildings that arefavorites of ours, but that are not protect-ed by being registered as an historicalsite. This includes our beloved jail, whichis currently for sale. If we want to preventany of these from being torn down bynew development, we need to decidewhich qualify as historical structures,and then begin the process to ensure theyremain intact. There are legal and finan-cial issues that will affect this process, aswell as the new Measure 37.

This is certainly one of the areas wewould like your input on. Please let usknow which sites and structures you con-sider historical and why, and what yousuggest would be a good purpose forthem today.

CCEC Meetingsby Kathy Schneberk-King

Dear Owner-Members of the Coos-Cur-ry Electric Coop. I have been attendingthe monthly meetings of CCEC for twoyears now. I was recently appointed tothe Owner Member Advisory Commit-tee (OMAC) charged with reviewingBoard composition and compensation.The OMAC met for a day with 8 of the 9CCEC geographic zones represented. Werecommended that the board be reducedfrom 9 members to 5 and that zones bereconfigured to better reflect the numberof members in a given area. The Boardapproved our plan in December and de-cided to send the By-law changes thatwould be necessary to effect the changeto the membership at the June 2005 an-nual meeting in Port Orford. If the Bylawchange is approved by owner-members,the CCEC Board will be 5 members by2007. I applaud this change, it will savethe CCEC money. The OMAC did notrecommend changing Board compensa-

Committee VacanciesThere are still two vacancies on the Bud-get Committee and a vacancy on theParks Commission. Applicants may sub-mit a letter or e-mail to City Hall express-ing interest. Letters should be mailed toCity Hall, PO Box 310, Port Orford, OR97465, ATTN: Mayor Aiborn, or e-mailto portorfordcityh@harborside.com.Please take this opportunity to volunteerto be of assistance to your community.

tion but there is some discussion of aplan to decrease the amount of moneyspent on Board insurance.

The CCEC broke even over the last cou-ple of months, the first time in over twoyears. It may be due to the furlough ofemployees, the raise in fees, or the sus-pension of tree trimming, or a combina-tion of all three. It is still unclear whetheror not CCEC will be required to pay a$1,000,000.00 loan to NOAA Net thatthe Board guaranteed. I asked about thestatus of the loan at the last two Boardmeetings, and was told this topic wouldbe discussed in closed session. Owner-members are not allowed in closed ses-sion.

And finally, the CCEC has instituted anew program to help low income mem-bers of the co-op. The program suggeststhat owner-members pay our bills in evendollars and the extra pennies we pay areput into a fund that less fortunate mem-bers may access to help pay their electric

bill. CCEC calls this program “Round itUp.” As a second generation Oregonian,when you say “round it up,” it means oneof two things, either a great day in Pendle-ton at the rodeo or an activity with wildhorses. I don’t know what else the termmeans. So I propose that we gunny sackthe “round it up” name and help our lessfortunate neighbors by telling the CCECto “Keep The Change” when we pay ourbills. That’s my two bits.

Letter to the Editor,Our State Park beaches from Port OrfordHeads to Cape Blanco are being overrunby ATV’s and bikes that are illegal ac-cording to the State Parks Beach Billenacted in 1967.

Many of us who enjoy these beaches forsolitude and quiet lose that to these noisyand emissions polluting vehicles. Oursare serene and naturally beautiful beach-es until these machines quickly come atyou to ruin the experience. They areillegal, destructive and dangerous.

Enjoy our beach and help in getting StateParks and law enforcement (State Policeand Curry County Sheriff) to enforce thislaw. A call, e-mail or letter will help inbeing heard. The law needs to be respect-ed.

Last week’s accident on the beach is anexample of the cost to taxpayers for emer-gency services for violators. Warningswill not work unless there is a follow-up.Citations will give us back our beachesas intended.

Curry Family Medical NewsBy Evan Kramer

I recently spoke to Curry Health DistrictBoard member Gary Anderson askinghim for more information about the new,but not yet open, pharmacy at CurryFamily Medical Center. He forwardedmy request for information to the CEO ofthe Health District, Ginny Hochberg.The following is her response.

“The plans for the medical dispensingmachine for pharmaceuticals at CurryFamily Medical took many turns alongthe way. There were delays at the Statelevel for certification and by the Pharma-cy Board, as there were no others in thestate like ours.

But after much work, we are lookingforward to this dispensing machine to bein place in Port Orford the week of March22. The construction is almost complete,including the electrical wiring and phonelines that connect the machine to Shin-dler’s Pharmacy in Bandon.

Pharmacist Steve Wilson will be over-seeing the project and will be connectedby telephone wiring and computer wir-ing to our new machine. He said that the“Formulary” (which is a list of common-

Environmental MilestonesMarine biologist Rachel Carson pub-lished Silent Spring in June 1962 callingattention to the threat of toxic chemicalsto the people and the environment.

ly used medications put together by Dr.Pitchford and Carol Milne, NP, is inplace. So residents in Port Orford withprescriptions that can be filled from thislist will be able to get them at the CurryFamily Medical Clinic, even if you arenot a patient of that clinic. If someone,who is not a patient there, shows up witha prescription that cannot be filled fromthe Formulary, he/she will have to useanother pharmacy for filling theirs.

We at Curry General hope that new peo-ple will go their for obtaining their medsand find out what a treasure we havethere in Port Orford.”

This free, public programwill take place on Saturday, March 5,2:30pm at the Langlois Library.

Coyote tales are told from the Atlantic tothe Pacific, and from the Artic down toMexico. These myths impart basic val-ues and beliefs while providing moralinstruction.

Just Imagine . . .Getting a routine, annual blood testto detect cancers before they can bedetected by a clinical examDiagnosing and treating cancer ear-ly, when chances of survival aregreatestPredicting with a simple test wheth-er an early stage cancer will spread,thus avoiding unnecessary surgeryor toxic therapy

The Gregory Fund was created to helpmake such possibilities a reality. Thepurpose of the Fund is to generate moneyfor research on new ways to diagnosecancer at its earliest — most treatable —

stage. The Fund was named after Grego-ry Chaya, a young cancer survivor whowas treated by the Fred Hutchinson Can-cer Research Center in Seattle.

Team Early Detection consists of peoplewho have joined together to do some-thing extraordinary to help focus atten-tion on the fight against cancer. KellyWhite, the organizer, was inspired by herfirst husband’s courageous fight againstHodgkin’s Lymphoma. Our riders in-clude a cancer survivor, surviving familymembers, and friends of people withcancer.

We Pledge to ride relay style from Seat-tle to Peoria in 8-9 days beginning March3, raising money and awareness all theway down the West Coast. Each riderexpects to ride between 40 – 100 milesper day. We have already been busysoliciting corporate and private dona-tions and selling “tribute miles.” We arevery honored to have been asked to throwout the first pitch, using the ball we relaydown, at the March 12 game between theSeattle Mariners and the Texas Rangers.In addition, we will ask the Mariners toautograph the baseball we carry down, tobe auctioned to benefit The Gregory Fund.

Our Goal this first year is to raise at least$30,000 for early cancer-detection re-search. 100% of the money we raise willgo directly to The Gregory Fund. If thisis a success, it may become an annual –and much bigger – event.

Tribute miles are a way for people tohonor a loved one or friend who hasbattled cancer, whether that battle is won,lost, or ongoing. The strength and cour-age of those people empowers us to suc-ceed in completing the event and in meet-ing our fundraising efforts.

Early Detection provides one of the mostpromising opportunities to reduce can-cer deaths. Early detection is key in co-lon, cervical, breast, prostate and othercancers. For example, five-year survivalfor breast and prostate cancer patientswith early stage disease is 85 percent to95 percent, and survival rates remainhigh at 10 years.

The concepts presented by Shanklin hada tremendous effect on Robin Harunaover ten years ago.
