Railroad JobBy Evan Kramer

The Port of Port OrfordCommission met Fridayand were greeted by anearly full house in thecouncil chambers. Com-missioners David Dar-nell, Dave Knapp, Tom

Hall and Gifford Barnes were present forthe meeting, which had been resched-uled from Tuesday night. That meetinghad been cancelled in anticipation of alack of quorum.

Jane Cramer was the first person to speakunder “persons to be heard.” She saidshe was going to change her tune andasked the commissioners to make a com-mitment for the new manager to make ita priority to get the public fishing dockbuilt including using grant writing.Cramer then asked them to explain thenew lease with NorCal including thebuilding, size and location. Interim portmanager Kathy Sherbourne said shehadn’t brought the NorCal folder withher but explained it was in the area whereCarvalho fisheries is located and that thebuilding will be 100 or 110 feet long andopen at both ends, consisting of blockwalls facing the ocean and that the struc-ture will be open for the public to go in.She said the wall would be 8 feet tall.

Jan Dacayana read a letter to the portcommission reminding them the publicwas promised a public fishing area. Shesaid she had been waiting for thecompletion of the project and hoped thecommission fulfilled its promise to builda public fishing dock. Commissionchairman Dave Knapp said they hadn’tforgotten about the fishing pier and thatit would come.

Paula Cracas showed the commissionand Knapp in particular a photo from lastweek’s edition of the Port Orford Newsshowing the new Laskey-Clifton – DaveKnapp gravel pit signs on Highway 101.Knapp said the combined enterprisestarted up on August 6. In response toCracas’ inquiry about it being a conflictof interest Knapp said it was not a con-flict and he hadn’t voted on anything todo with Laskey-Clifton. Cracas askedKnapp if he could continue to be on thecommission and he said yes. Knapp thensaid he was guilty of voting one timewhen he should have declared a conflictof interest. Then Cracas addressed herconcerns to commissioner Darnell andasked him where he was on Tuesdaynight. Darnell explained he got back totown just before 7:00pm. Cracas said itwas disrespectful to cancel the meeting.(The meeting was cancelled because nei-ther Darnell nor Tom Hall could attendit).

Cracas then told Dave Knapp in view ofhis conflict of interest she felt he shouldresign from the commission. DavidDarnell then jumped in and said, “I’llassure you Dave Knapp didn’t makemuch money off the job.” Darnell con-tinued that Knapp literally gave the rockaway to help the town.

Beverly Walters told the commission themanagement selection process wasflawed. She reminded them it was themost important decision they wouldmake and they should redo the process ofhiring a manager. Walters told them itwas their duty to hire a reasonable man-ager with college education or a master’sdegree. She said the way the process washandled the commission already hadtheir minds made up.

Then the commission moved into oldbusiness and selection of a new portcommissioner. Dave Knapp said theyhad received five applicants for the va-cant position. David Darnell made amotion to nominate Jeff Miles for thecommission job. Miles lives in the PortDistrict and is a fisherman. His fishingboat is the Keta. The commission voted3-0 for the motion with Gifford Barnesnot voting. Miles said he had lived hereall his life and been a fisherman for 20years. He said his boat is currently

Soft DrugBy Graeme Graydon

I had not been to abeach for weeks – toobusy with the stuffgoing on in my life. Ihad forgotten that Ilived by the sea. Thensuddenly, it was moreimportant than any-

thing else to touch the ocean, to walk onits sands and to have its incessant rumblefill my ears. Once at the beach, there aresome things which must be done, searchfor the interesting stones, wade acrossthe river-mouth to see what could be onthe other side, count the pelicans as theythread their way into the wind, check onthe seals and the seagulls, and then itstime to find a spot on the dunes to dry myfeet, to get most of the sand out frombetween my toes before boots and socksgo on again. I stretched out on my backin the spiny grass, just below the wind,the sun drenching me in its heat, my eyesclosed, it was like soaking in a hot-tub, Iwas close to sleep.

I tried to think about what I had to dowhen I got home, but the outside worldseemed so far away it was easier to let it

go, nothing there mattered any more.That world there was supposed to be myreal world – where the time of day wasimportant, where people had to be con-sidered and all sort of things needed to bedone. Just a minute, if that is my realworld, what is this? I could lie here allday, I’m not worried about anything,there’s nothing on my mind. This is bliss– there’s nothing that I should be doing.It feels very real and my body loves it. Idon’t get to feel this good, not this way inthat other world. Then I remembered thatthis is how it had been for me every va-cation, until I was 15. I am the child again– as long as I lie in the sun like this, rest-ing after the long walk, lulled into deli-cious release – no meals to plan, nophone calls to make – just be home bysundown.

I realized again how precious the beachis to me. I wonder what today’s kids,(who I never see on the beach,) will do toclear their minds and find total relax-ation when they get into their times ofboredom, heavy decisions and anxiety.Perhaps the beach is my drug of choice,my escape from a world that seems to begoing nuts. This is where I don’t com-pare myself to anyone else or wonder

why I cant be like this one or that one. Ican always be happy with me here.

I know that I’ve got to return to that otherworld, but the one who returns is begin-ning to suspect that its not so real afterall, because when I’m in there doingwhat I have to do, even the happy times,I’m feeling more like a visitor, and beinga visitor makes it so much easier to getthings done – somehow its not such aserious business, and I’m aware deepdown that it wont be long before I goback to where I can feel completely realagain.

DeFazio Visits Port OrfordBy Evan Kramer

Representative Peter DeFazio visitedPort Orford last Thursday starting withlunch at the Rotary Club meeting at theSenior Center. The club members andguests sat down to a lunch of bakedchicken, mashed potatoes, salad, veg-etable, dessert and coffee. The meetingwas well attended and numerous guestswere present including Curry CountyCommissioners Rachelle Schaaf,Marlyn Schafer and Lucy LaBonte; andPort Orford Mayor Gary Doran and CityAdministrator Martha Weaver.

DeFazio spoke briefly but covered sev-eral subjects before turning the meetingover to questions from the audience. Hedisplayed a copy of Thursday’s Orego-nian with a headline about the budgetsurplus vanishing. DeFazio said he hadpredicted that and said the budget ses-sion ahead in Congress would be a con-tentious one. DeFazio said any future

budget surplus should be used to paydown the national debt.

He said we were lucky to live here andhave Coos Curry Electric providingpower, as they aren’t raising their elec-tric rates. DeFazio said he had votedagainst energy deregulation, that Con-gress started the process of energy de-regulation in 1992 after 60 years of regu-lated monopolies that had worked givingAmericans low cost energy, and thatpeople want stability and reliability ofpower. He said Oregon was the last statein the union considering deregulation.

DeFazio spoke about dredging and saidwe need the Army Corps of Engineers todo dredging or ports on the south coastwill close. He said there was only oneprivate company doing dredging.

DeFazio was asked about an article in thepaper, which said the tax rebate wascoming out of next year’s taxes. DeFaziosaid the tax rebate checks were “a rebate

for anticipated taxes.”

DeFazio was discouraging about legisla-tion to deal with the increased costs ofhealth insurance other than a full deduc-tion for health coverage for the self-em-ployed. He said that professional sportsand insurance were the only two indus-tries not subject to the antitrust law. Hespoke about trying to get the insuranceindustry to sell a competitive product.

DeFazio said he hadn’t made a decisionon whether or not to run for governor andhad been receiving lots of input frompeople urging to stay on as congressmanand to run for governor. Later on at theHeads State Park DeFazio spoke moreabout it and said he likes living in Or-egon (and the governor gets to do justthat).

When the Rotary meeting came to an endDeFazio was whisked off to Port OrfordHeads State Park where he presented

A While Ago . . .By Jane Cramer

A while ago someone asked me what wasso special about Port Orford being 150years old that we needed to have a cel-ebration. The reason to celebrate is notso much because of the number of years,but that some of them were very difficultyears when there was a real chance thatthe town would not survive.

Some bad years came right away. Theweather during the winter of 1853 was sobad, with so many violent storms, thatships could not enter the harbor to bringsupplies. With no roads and no ships, thepeople subsisted on shellfish and gamefor the entire winter after staples such asflour ran out.

When the army was at Fort Orford andgold miners successfully worked thebeaches, Port Orford flourished withnine hotels, several stores and manyhouses. In 1856 the gold mines failed,the army moved out and the town de-clined until one historian relates that by1859 there were only three families leftin town. The hotels, saloons, stores and

DeFazio serves on the CoastGuard and Maritime TransportationSubcommittee. He admitted to neverhaving been to this park before but ex-pressed an interest in coming back for alonger visit. Then it was time to leaveand DeFazio field representative RonKreskey drove DeFazio off to his nextseries of meetings in Gold Beach andthen Brookings.

houses were empty and gradually beingdestroyed by the wind and weather.

Little by little Port Orford began to growagain and then the next disaster appearedin the form of a devastating forest firethat swept across the Sixes and Elk Riv-ers on October 10, 1868. It couldn’t havecome at a worse time for Mrs. Tichenorbecause Captain Tichenor and his sonwere away. She fought the fire alone andsaved their home. Only three buildingsin town survived: two houses and a barnat the Knapp Hotel.

The Unican family, who lived to thenorth of Port Orford, escaped with theirlives by wrapping themselves in wetblankets and hiding in a well until the firepassed. Mr. Burnap, the storekeeper,tried to save his merchandise by throw-ing it over the cliffs onto the beach onlyto have hot cinders fall on it and burn itanyway.

The hardy people of the town again re-built and prosperity returned. Hugeamounts of lumber were shipped fromhere in the 20s and 30s, but the advent ofWorld War II put an end to the lumbershipments. Eventually the mills closedand people had to find other work ormove away.

Even as late as the 1960s the town suf-fered some setbacks that were hard toovercome. The Columbus Day Storm inOctober 1962 is still remembered bythose who lived through it. In PatMasterson’s book he relates trying to getback to Port Orford from Gold Beachafter the storm and being told by a south-bound driver that it wasn’t any use to goto Port Orford because there was nothingleft. He returned to find that the 150 mileper hour winds had moved some housesoff their foundations and left the town amess.

When the long awaited jetty was built,our once deep water harbor became anightmare of shoaling and shifting sand.Conditions are often so difficult for localfishing boats that it is hard to believe thata 410 foot steamer once loaded lumber atour dock. Now new regulations arethreatening our fishermen’s future.

Through all the troubles – from earlyyears to present days – Port Orford con-tinues to bounce back and remains awonderful place to live. This is surely afact worth celebrating, especially whenwe remember the hardships of a whileago.

moored in Bandon but he still pays dock-age here. Bill Oleson told the commis-sion they had several good nominees forthe commission job and said they couldhave selected a non-fisherman – some-one without a conflict of interest.

The commission then moved on to selec-tion of a port manager. They had re-ceived nine applications for the job.Gifford Barnes recommended they startthe process from scratch. David Darnell

made a motion that the commission hiresKathy Sherbourne as port manager andTom Hall seconded the motion. Barnessaid the commission had received re-sumes that far outweighed Kathy’s forthe job. Leonard Foster then spoke to thecommission and said he had seen lots ofrailroad jobs in forty years and said the“entire meeting ought to be cancelled.”Gifford Barnes said Tuesday night’scancelled meeting should have beenvoted on before it was cancelled but itwasn’t as per the commissioner’s hand-book. The commission then voted 3-1 infavor of the motion to hire Sherbournewith Darnell, Hall and Knapp in favorand Barnes voting no.

Kathy Sherbourne then discussed therecent ODOT meeting at the Port con-cerning Dock Road. The grant from thefederal government is for $1 million butthe port must come up with a twenty per-cent matching grant with ODOT beingthe lead agency.

David Darnell made a motion to have thenew port manager look for funds for thepublic fishing pier and it passed 4-0.

Dave Knapp then adjourned the meetinginto executive session under ORS192.660(I)(h) pending litigation and the

large public gathering left to wait in thehallway. The press stayed behind andunless I missed something litigation wasnot discussed.

The meeting was convened into regularsession at 8:15pm. David Darnell madea motion to get the local state fire mar-shal to inspect the fuel system and bringit up to code and it passed 4-0.

The commission considered Resolution2001-02 regarding vacation of the 4thStreet right of way from cliff to cliff ontop of Fort Point. David Darnell made amotion to accept Resolution 2001-02.Frank Cramer then spoke to the commis-sion and said if the Resolution passed thepublic would be excluded from this site.He advised against approving the resolu-tion. Ed Dowdy suggested to the com-mission that they might want the prop-erty vacated to them in the future since itwas adjacent to the port maintenancearea. Bill Rebhahn told the commissionhe owned the property on both sides of4th Street. David Darnell said he wasgoing to withdraw his motion until theycould look at the site and see exactlywhat Rebhahn was talking about. Amotion was made and passed to table thediscussion until next month’s meeting.

Kathy Sherbourne gave a briefmanager’s report and said she had paidall the bills on time and the port wascatching up with the fuel bill.

The commission then passed a motionauthorizing Resolution 2001-01 regard-ing storage of crab pots. Crab pots maybe stored as designated up to 10 daysprior to crab season opening. A charge of$1/day/pot will be assessed for any potsnot removed within 10 days after beingbrought in on or after April 1 each year.

David Darnell made a motion to autho-rize all the commissioners to sign on thebank account and it passed 4-0. DavidDarnell made one last motion to pay thebills as they can be paid and it passed 4-0.
