Garrison Lake DrainedBy Evan Kramer

The Garrison Lakeoutlet at Agate Beachwas opened on Sun-day night by Port Or-ford residents accord-ing to an unidentifiedeyewitness. Once thelake outlet started to

“run” it ran all night and through Mon-day. This eyewitness says as the drain-ing slowed down on Monday in the earlyevening it was given a little encourage-ment to keep running by two citizens. At8:00am on Tuesday morning, May 6, theoutlet was still a roaring river of waterheaded out to the ocean at a southwest-ern angle.

The rushing waters did more damage tothe bluff on the Mouchawar property asit caused further erosion.

Public Works Administrator Dave Paceand wastewater treatment plant operatorRick Rogerson were on the scene at8:15am on Tuesday morning and headedfor the lake outlet at Agate Beach. Pacesaid emphatically the City had nothingto do with opening the lake and that ithad gone down too far. Pace said later onin the morning at City Hall that the lake

has already dropped nine feet from the19’ level it had been at on Sunday.

The lowering of the level Garrison Lakehas made it possible for the City to openTwelfth Street at the boat ramp on Tues-day morning. It has been underwater ashad part of Arizona Street between Mad-rona Street and Geer Circle. ArizonaStreet remains closed as of Tuesday untilthe condition of the road can be deter-mined. The City public works crew wasbusy on Tuesday afternoon power wash-ing Twelfth Street at the boat ramp toclean the mud and debris off the road.

Port Orford City Administrator ErnaBarnett said on Tuesday morning thatthere was no permit held by either theCity or private citizens to open GarrisonLake. Barnett said later in the day SteveNewcomb, from EGR and Associates,would be at the City. EGR is the compa-ny hired to do the Garrison Lake Reha-bilitation Study and his appearance istimely. She said the Rehabilitation Studywas being done in conjunction with themaster plan study. Barnett said the Cityhas a crucial need to secure additionalwater sources. Currently the City gets itsdrinking water from its reservoir on theNorth Fork of Hubbard Creek. GarrisonLake is considered the main additionalsource of water and the City is looking at

the wetlands area east of the ArizonaStreet Bridge.

Barnett referred to the opening of Garri-son Lake as a “seemingly unnaturalbreeching”. She said it seems unlikely itopened on its own. She said thousandsof creatures are dying as a result of thisopening. Barnett said if the breechingcauses a considerable loss of sand thatcould mean an increase in the cost ofrehabilitating the lake and therefore theCity could possibly be monetarily “in-jured” by the breeching.

Last year there was a great hue and crywhen Garrison Lake mysteriously emp-tied itself out in early April resulting in atremendous loss of fish. The OregonDepartment of Fish and Wildlife wasvery upset and threatened to not stockmore fish in the lake. ODF&W DistrictBiologist Russ Stauff was very upset andhe threatened not to stock any more fishin Garrison Lake until he was comfort-able it wouldn’t be breached. He made apoint of wanting to create a fishery forchildren at Garrison Lake. Stauff nowworks for ODF&W in Central Point. Icalled the ODF&W office in Gold Beachon Tuesday morning to get their point ofview on this latest lake breeching but allI got was an answering machine at theiroffice in Gold Beach. Later on in the day

Federal Arrests Made

A federal grand jury in Sacramento re-turned an 18-count indictment chargingnine persons, including two former StateDepartment employees, in connectionwith an alleged scheme, operated out ofthe U.S. Embassy in Sri Lanka, to sellvisas to enter the United States.

According to a 130-page complaint un-sealed in Sacramento on April 30, thescheme allegedly involved the paymentof hundreds of thousands of dollars bypersons in Sacramento and elsewhere totwo married State Department employ-ees between 2000 and 2003, in exchangefor the issuance of visas to various for-eign nationals, primarily from Vietnamand India. The complaint alleges thatAcey R. Johnson, while working in theconsular affairs section of the U.S. Em-bassy in Sri Lanka, issued visas to scoresof persons pursuant to the scheme.

The indictment charges all nine defen-dants with conspiring to defraud theUnited States, to bribe public officialsand to commit visa fraud.

Those arrested include two people withPort Orford connections. They are Acey

R. Johnson, 32, who was until recently aConsular Associate employed in the con-sular section of the U.S. Embassy in SriLanka. He was arrested on Tuesdaymorning, April 29, at his home in PortOrford by Special Agents with the Dip-lomatic Security Service of the U.S. StateDepartment (“DSS”) and the FBI. Ac-cording to Port Orford Police Chief BillRush there were 23 agents and 17 vehi-cles used in the arrest and surroundinginvestigation. The agents used the citycouncil chambers for part of their work.Also arrested was Long N. Lee, 51, aState Department Foreign Service offic-er and career State Department employ-ee, who is married to defendant AceyJohnson. She was arrested at DullesInternational Airport. Johnson and Leewere planning on opening the LemonGrass Restaurant in Port Orford in earlyJune across the street from Battle RockPark.

Johnson appeared in US District Courtin Medford on April 30 and was ordereddetained pending further proceedings inMedford on Monday, May 5, at 1:30pm.At his appearance in court on Monday hewas ordered detained without bail andwill be transferred to the United States

Attorney Eastern District of Californiajurisdiction in Sacramento to answer thecharges against him. Long Lee was alsodenied bail, as were the other six defen-dants who were arrested. (One was stillat large as of the writing of the pressrelease.) All the defendants will answerthe charges against them in the UnitedStates Attorney Eastern District of Cali-fornia jurisdiction.

The case is the product of an extensiveinvestigation conducted by the Diplo-matic Security Service and the Joint Ter-rorism Task Force for the Eastern Dis-trict of California, a task force headquar-tered at the FBI offices in Sacramento.

The United States Attorney’s Office not-ed that the complaint and indictment areonly accusations and that the defendantsare presumed innocent until and unlessproven guilty.

Most of the information in this articlecame from a press release issued by theUnited States Attorney’s office in Sacra-mento, California on May 1. The pressrelease was edited for space consider-ations.

Exam Room Funded

In an outpouring of philanthropic good-will and generosity, several anonymousprivate donors have stepped forward tofund a medical exam room at Curry Gen-eral Hospital for Curry County childrenand women suspected of physical andsexual abuse, according to Kim Fletcher,R.N., and Barbara Eells, longtime projectcoordinators.

“We thank each one of our kind contrib-utors for making the dream a reality,”Eells says. “We also are grateful to thelocal media for informing the public ofour situation. The response has beenastounding.” “These donations now al-low us to purchase the expensive examequipment,” Fletcher adds. “Now thatthe room is complete, our kids and theirfamilies won’t have to endure the longtrip to Medford for their care.”

Kim Fletcher, a nurse at Curry GeneralHospital, and Barbara Eells, coordinatorof the Curry County Child AdvocacyTeam, spearheaded a fund drive for thespecialized exam equipment last year.While two requests for grants were de-nied, local private donors selflessly gavemore than $14,000 in the past few weeksto get the job done, Fletcher says. “Wecan accept patients in the room thismonth,” Fletcher says.

Funds not used directly for equipmentand supplies will be saved for costlyannual training for Fletcher and KellyLowther, M.D., a Brookings practitio-ner. They are the two medical providers

who will exam the patients, on call, asneeded.

A major part of the project funding camefrom a telemedicine grant procured fivemonths ago by Eells. As coordinator ofthe Curry Child Advocacy Team, Eellshelps arrange child abuse investigationsand provide access to the medical exams,interviews and social agency support forabused children and their families. Sheand Fletcher continue to give public pre-sentations on the need for such servicesin Curry County, despite state fundingcuts that have threatened to close Eells’own office in the county courthouse.

Meanwhile, Fletcher says the hospitaland child advocacy team still are plan-ning to sponsor Curry’s First StrawberryJam, a family music and dance event.She anticipates that the “Jam” will raisefunds annually for depleted medical sup-plies, medical training and inter-agencysupport.

The event is planned from 6 p.m. tomidnight, Saturday, June 14, at theGrange Hall in Nesika Beach. Ticketswill go on sale throughout the county inthe next few weeks, she adds. For de-tails, phone Fletcher at Curry GeneralHospital: (541) 247-3105.

Letter to the Editor,

The city is confused about the fairness ofsewer rates. Charging everyone the same,large users, small users, commercial orresidential is not fair.

It was only when the city realized fourmonths ago we were going to vote on therevenue bond Did they decide to look atthe sewer rates to make them fairer.

So what happened? They decided toincrease our rates and have everyone paythe same except for duplex and apart-ments who will pay more. So R.V.Parks, motels and commercial users arestill being subsidized by all residentialdwellers. If the bond passes we will haveno control of how high our rates willincrease. Not only are base rates goingto double, triple and more, but the costfor sewer per 1,000 gallons used is alsogoing to get higher and higher so we willbe hit with a double whammy.

Once again the people on fixed incomethe people least able to pay are the onesmost effected. Once again the peoplewith money and power will have theirway.

Never for one minute did the city councilsay we are a poor town with a majority ofpeople who do not have much money.What can we do that is best for thesepeople.

Never for one minute did most of the citycouncil ever want the G.O. Bond to pass(I wonder why!)

Never for one minute did they say theG.O bond failed by one vote, let’s put itup for vote again (which we can do inSeptember).

If you want your sewer rates to stopincreasing and you think the rate struc-ture is unfair Vote No.

Let’s do what is best for the majority intown. Vote No.

Caroline Clancy

[Editor’s comment: This whole mess isconfusing but there are some very simplefacts underneath it all. 1) We have tobuild a sewer outfall. The DEQ gives usno choice. 2) It needs to be done on theirtime schedule or we will pay big penaltyfines. There is no time to wait for aSeptember ballot. 3) If we don’t pass therevenue bond, we will lose the milliondollar grant and that $1,000,000 willhave to be paid by sewer users. I believe

a September vote would also be too lateto secure this grant so that’s two strokesagainst it and no guarantee it wouldpass if voted on again anyway. 4) Thesewer rate structure can be changed bythe city council at any time. My conclu-sion from these facts is that we shouldvote YES on the revenue bond so we cansecure the grant. I personally don’t fan-cy paying an extra $1000-2000 or what-ever because we turn this bond down! Iwould encourage those interested to con-tinue to work on identifying a rate struc-ture that is fair to all. - Valerie Kramer]

Letter to the Editor,

Now that I am on the city council Irealize my credibility is probably muchcloser to zero. Nevertheless, I feel mytwo cents still may be worth something.This is my personal opinion. In thewords of a good friend, it makes me“monkey jumping mad” when I see let-ters printed with false information. Irespect all opinions including how topay for DEQ mandates or if our ratestructure is fair. However none has theright to sway me as a voter with smoke orstatements that are knowingly incorrector false. The city is not building a newsewer plant. I voted for the failed prop-erty tax, I will vote for the revenue bond.There are no doubts in my mind that ifthe bond vote fails and the outfall projectis delayed, it will cost us all more. DEQhas a stick and they are saying no goopon our beach. Calling their hand may beexpensive.

Thanks,

Ed Beck

Letter to the Editor,

Thanks for the informative article onfarmed salmon. There are so many wayswe are uninformed about the practices ofthe food industry which threaten ourhealth and the future of a sustainablefood-producing environment.

Farmed salmon not only affects the hu-mans who eat this chemical-laden

product. It also has a huge adverse ef-fect on the surrounding waters of thepens where the fish are raised, changingthe ph of the water, polluting the areawith huge amounts of waste, and intro-ducing diseases into the wild stocks try-ing to survive in the same environment. Here is an interesting and informativewebsite to learn more about the farmedfish issues: www.salmonnation.com/farmed.html

Troll caught salmon is available at thedock now and it’s great! Support yourlocal fishermen and your own health!

Letter to the Editor,

First I would like to thank this publica-tion for giving me the space to expressmy thoughts.

Letter to the Editor,

Times change. But not members of theCoos-Curry Electric Cooperative board.Some have been there for 40 years, whichwould be fine if they were making soundbusiness decisions. But they aren’t.

Several years ago the co-op went into thesatellite TV business, lost money on it,then sold that business for a profit. Butthat profit didn’t hold up, because mostof it was another company’s stock.

It gets worse. Because of the initialprofit on the sale of the satellite business,the co-op now owes millions of dollarsin back taxes and penalties.

To sum up, the co-op got into a businessthey should have never been in, lostmoney, took mostly stock when theysold the business, now owns stock oflittle value and owes lots in back taxes.

I’d say its time for a change, time to putsome new people on the co-op board. A

good start is to elect Pete Chasar, not theincumbent.

Pete is a citizen activist and artist fromBrookings with 35 years of businessexperience in New York and Phoenix,Arizona.

Just as important, Pete is not beholden tomanagement nor the current board andwill use his energy and experience to re-focus the co-op on its core business:providing electric service to our neigh-borhoods.

Cast a vote for change at Coos-CurryElectric. Elect Pete Chasar to the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative board.

Sincerely, your neighbor,

Olive Ball

Second I want to thank Jo Rieber, who solovingly pointed out a mistake in myEaster article about cross cultures. Sev-eral years ago I wrote a lengthy articleabout cross culture similarities because Ifind them so wonderful, faith strength-ening, and reassuring. In an effort to cutthe article to fit space this year I confusedtwo Jewish customs, Passover and Ha-nukkah. Passover comes around thetime of the Christian Easter. Hanukkahis associated with the return to the Tem-ple and the miracle of the lamp oil lastingfor eight days and comes around the timeof Christmas. I really do know the dif-ference and thank Jo for bringing thisediting error to my attention. I promiseI will be more careful with my editing inthe future.

In Light and Love,

Reverend Grace Lee Bonnell

Oasis Benefit Concert

Appearing Saturday May 17 at 7 pm in afund raising concert for Curry County’sOasis Shelter Home, will be Chuck Pyle.Famously labeled “the Zen Cowboy” bya reviewer, Pyle is currently promotinghis seventh album, “Affected By TheMoon.” The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, SuzyBogguss, John Denver and Chris LeDouxare just a few artist to record Chuck’s

songs over the years. At this point in hiscareer, Pyle considers himself as much aphilosopher as a troubadour. “I’m cer-tainly entering into geezerhood,” he wise-cracks. Most of us, when we’re this oldtend to get philosophical-what else isthere to do? So I definitely will sit aroundand sound like I know what I’m talkingabout”.

Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Pyle isa long time favorite here on the SouthCoast and photos of him surfing at PistolRiver are on Chucks web site along withsamples of his music. Fans of Chuck’sknow what to expect but for you thathaven’t had the experience, be preparedfor an evening of humor, finely craftedsongs and guitar virtuosity.

This concert will be held at the BethanyLutheran Church at 5th and Highway101 in Gold Beach. Tickets are only $10and all the proceeds benefit the OasisShelter Home for victims of domesticviolence. Tickets are available at theCoffee Dock, Soakers, Book Worm andthe Gray Whale Gallery in Gold Beach.More info and reservations are availableat www.cc-pac.org or by calling 541-247-0633.

Melanoma – the deadliest form of skincancer — appears as a pre-existing molethat changes, or as a new mole on previ-ously clear skin, according to the Amer-ican Academy of Dermatology. Doctorsrecommend that patients see a medicalprovider immediately if they note anychanges in the size, color, shape or tex-ture of a mole, the development of a newmole, or any other unusual changes inthe skin.

Nearly 8,000 people die of melanomaannually in the United States. While itcan be diagnosed at any age, it is mostcommonly seen after puberty. Whenmelanoma is detected at its early stage,surgical removal cures the disease inmost cases.

Happy Mothers Day!

Letter to the Editor,

To the homeowner who drained the lake“the wrong way”. We now have no laketo enjoy for the summer. No fishing – noswimming – no boating – no fun!

Now for the second summer, people wholive on the lake chose to drain it them-selves, to protect their homes – at whatcost to the lake. Now we have no fish orwildlife left in the lake because there isno lake left for them to survive in. Allbecause they own houses on the lake thatMother Nature has control over. Theyshould have left it alone, and let naturetake its course.

But “No” they chose to open it them-selves. Now the people at Port Orfordhave no lake to enjoy for the summer.

Now all the kids have to do is vandalismand to get in trouble, because they can’tgo swimming or fishing or just hangingaround the lake enjoying their summer.

Because you the lake front propertyowners didn’t like the level of the lake.Now I hope you enjoy the smell and theview of a rotten lake for the summer.

I called again and found out that biolo-gist Todd Confer was on his way to PortOrford in a hurry to see what happened tothe lake.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Letter to the Editor,

Apparently the wizards who build belowexpected water levels at Garrison Lakemanaged, just in time to ruin nice dayboating on Mother’s Day and theWindfest on May 24, to convince backhoenaturalists the lake needed draining –again. Is this to become an annual event?Shall the lake be drained, salt levels

increased, fish killed each year in tributeto those foolish people who built downto lake level for a better barbeque scene?

I thought the City Administrator was onthe right track to either let nature do itsthing and create an outlet naturally, or letthe state (nature’s little helper) determinethe proper outlet after they acquire thetrailer park grounds.

Oh, well. Here’s to another year ofsmelly, unusable lake. Thanks to all youI-dots who just couldn’t let nature workits weal.

Kendrick N. Williams

[Editor’s note: I agree Kendrick. I’d liketo see the perps punished to the fullextent of the law for taking things intotheir own inept hands but I doubt we’llbe so lucky. Still they can’t avoid the badkarma they’ve caused themselves. –Valerie]
