Safe DrivingBy Evan Kramer

The Port Orford City Council met on Monday night and began their meeting with a presentation by Fire Chief Gayle Wilcox. She presented the council with the quarterly fire department report. Wilcox spoke about a program she has been talking about with Police Chief Mark Creighton which would be put on at Pacific High School to impress on students the importance of driving re-sponsibly. She noted the motor vehicle crash in town a couple of weeks ago in-volving minors. The program will take place before Halloween. Wilcox told the council that several firefighters have been taking extra training above and beyond the weekly Wednesday night training sessions. The department re-ceived a $20,000 grant for new turnouts and wildland personal protective equip-ment.

Dennis Miller spoke under citizen’s concerns. He is concerned with Garri-son Lake and helping it become our sec-ondary water source once again. He ad-vocated the council adopt an ordinance that horse owners clean up after their horses to prevent run-off into the lake. He said the horse manure is flushed into the lake and can cause odor and taste problems. Miller is the chairman of the

Garrison Lake Restoration Committee. Councilor Milton Finch asked Miller to take the ordinance idea to the city public safety/ordinance committee meeting for more discussion.

The water loss for the month of Sep-tember was down. City Administrator Mike Murphy’s report showed the water plant treating 5,940,000 gallons of water and using 483,000 for backwashing fil-ters for a production total of 5,457,000 gallons of water. The city metered 3,534,340 gallons for the month and lost 1,922,660 gallons. The loss rate for the month was 35.3% which is an improve-ment of the past months but not good enough. Murphy wants to reduce the loss rate another 20%.

Chief Creighton was not at the meeting but in his written report stated that he had been awarded his Executive Certi-fication through DPSST (Department of Public Safety Standards and Training) in September. This is his third certification since becoming police chief and each represents 100 hours of training. The department wrote 249 traffic citations for the month and collected $28,679 for citations for the month of September.

Mayor Jim Auborn spoke under liaison reports and talked about his recent trip to Washington D.C. to speak before Ron Wyden’s Subcommittee on Natu-

ral Resources. Auborn spoke in favor of the Copper Salmon Wilderness. He said the Forest Service is in favor of the Wilderness proposal and he thought it looks like it will happen. Auborn has used some of his time when meeting with Senators Wyden and Gordon Smith to get debt forgiveness for the sewer outfall located on the dunes near Agate Beach that was destroyed in the El Nino of 1998. The city is still paying $42,000 a year for that failed and now almost forgotten system.

The council considered a proposal for a city council training session put on by the League of Oregon Cities. They passed on doing anything about it for now because of the excessive cost of the travel expenses which were more than the training session.

Councilor Finch offered a motion to deny a waiver of water fees to Chris Hawthorne and the council agreed with the motion unanimously. The water bill was for $911.22 and was caused by a water leak on the customer’s side of the meter. Mike Murphy was concerned about setting a precedent if the council waived the water bill for other users down the road with leaks on their side of the meter.

Councilor Finch made a motion to ac-cept the contract with the city employ-ees but received no second. The city public works department and office staff are represented by the Teamster’s Union and have been in on again off again con-tract negotiations with the city for over two years. The city’s unionized employ-ees have ratified the contract but all the city councilors had not seen a copy of it so the issue was put off until the No-vember.

The City and the Oregon Department of Transportation are at odds over place-ment of a “no unmuffled exhaust brake” (Jake brake) sign at the north end of town. City Administrator Mike Murphy has requested that ODOT put up the sign which used to be there but disappeared. ODOT will not put it back up unless the city pays $600 to have it installed. The city refuses to pay this exorbitant bill and has appealed for help to State Senator Jeff Kruse and State Represen-tative Wayne Krieger and the governor’s office. The council passed a motion to send the letters to the representatives.

Councilor Jim Campbell made a motion to allow Mike Murphy to get the asphalt work done and it passed 6-0. The low bidder is Laskey Clifton of Reedsport. The bid is for $21,229.25 and includes paving on the Arizona Street bridge area and also paving at Ninth and Arizona, Thirteenth and Wyoming, King Street and Coast Guard Hill, the Port parking lot and culvert paving.

The council decided to send the issue of the resignation of Buffington Park hosts Steven and Jeannie Carter back to the Parks Commission to resolve.

The council discussed the flashing speed signs for both ends of town that had also been discussed at the Chamber board meeting earlier that day. One private citizen has volunteered to pay for one of the signs at a cost of $5,000. Mike Mur-phy said the flashing signs can be solar powered or hooked into the grid. The Chamber of Commerce has taken on a fundraising effort to pay for the second sign. They had received $175 as of Mon-day afternoon. Councilor John Hewitt, owner of Java John’s, donated $100 on Monday night for the speed sign. The

council passed a motion to accept do-nations for the speed sign. They are re-questing people who donate make their checks out to the Port Orford Chamber of Commerce with a notation on them that the money is for the speed sign. The money will then be turned over the city and put in a dedicated account for the speed sign only.

Mike Murphy said he had gotten a small cities allotment grant for $25,000 for replacement of a culvert on Port Orford Loop Road near Hensley Hill Road.

Police Reportby Chief CreightonCreighton@popd.orgTip Line: 253-6271

10-06 Police received a report of a bi-cycle being stolen on 18th Street.

10-06 Police received a report of a pos-sible missing Mother and child. It was later determined that a note had been left by her stating she was leaving the area. A report was taken and the case is pending location of that subject.

10-06 Police contacted the parents and juvenile involved in the Motor Vehicle Crash on Sept 29 at the intersection of Idaho and Ninth Street. The juvenile was charged with 2 counts of Assault II, Two counts of Recklessly Endan-germent, Tampering with physical Evi-dence, Minor in Possession of Alcohol, Driving While Under the Influence of Intoxicants, Reckless Driving, and addi-tionally for failing to obey a traffic con-trol device. The juvenile was condition-ally released to his parents and the case is pending review for prosecution by the Curry County Juvenile Department and Curry County District Attorney.

10-06 Police attempted to stop a vehicle and the driver attempted to evade police failing to stop for three stop signs. Af-ter the vehicle stopped, a male juvenile was charged with attempting to elude a police officer, and careless driving. Ad-ditionally three juveniles were charged with open container and minor in pos-session of alcohol

10-07 Police investigated several juve-niles in possession of alcohol. After a police investigation into the incident, Eric Amason was cited to appear in Cir-cuit Court for 2 counts of providing al-cohol to minors.

10-08 Police were contacted regarding a vehicle being stolen from the intersec-tion of 13th and Idaho Street. After a short search, the vehicle was located at

a residence on Ninth Street. It was deter-mined to be a misunderstanding.

10-10 Police received a report that some-one had taken a mountain bike from the front of a local business. After a check of the area the owner located the bike in a different location.

10-10 Police responded to an alarm at Rays Food Place which was determined to be a false alarm.

10-12 Police took a report of a burglary at one of the motels in town. It was de-termined that suspect(s) entered the of-fice area and were able to force a cash drawer open. Police are investigating the crime. If anyone has any information please contact the police department at 332-9013.

Chiefs Note: A secondary function of police work is to deter individuals from committing crimes and/or engag-ing in dangerous and sometimes life-threatening behaviors. Recently we have had a number of juveniles making poor decisions that if not checked could lead to many more problems. We often hear that kids will be kids and should be given extra consideration for their decisions by not involving them in the

system. In order for our community to deter kids from breaking the law and to keep them safe it is important that we have them accept responsibility and that sometimes means they are charged and taken to court. We would be remiss in our duties and our oath to protect citizens in the community if we just let them off with a slap on the hand. Just like adults juveniles learn when they have to face the consequences of their illegal substance abuse. Juveniles need all adults in the community to be role models and that collectively means we teach them to be responsible citizens. If we don’t watch our kids and make them accountable the potential is always close by for heartbreak and tragedy. For those adults who are furnishing alcohol and drugs to minors in our community be aware that we will enforce the law to the fullest extent. Our city follows the Zero Tolerance philosophy.

Speed SignsThe North Curry and Port Orford Chamber of Commerce board held their monthly meeting on Monday at the Port and Starboard. Chamber president David Smith led the board and several visitors through a long agenda and busy meeting.

Ed McQuade reported to the board that the Curry ISP non-profit corporation set up to provide or find Internet service for Port Orford is shutting down. The $800 left in their bank account is being given to the City of Port Orford to be placed in a dedicated fun for Internet purposes only.

Board member Chuck Schaumburg re-ported that Comspan now has 900 sub-scribers connected in Bandon. This is their “break-even” number. Comspan is looking to eventually expand into many other small communities in Oregon.

David Smith said the Chamber was looking for a new web master for the Chamber web site. Please contact Da-vid at 332-4515 if you are interested. Smith said there would be no Chamber sponsored Masquerade Ball this month but there would be one next year. The

I’m telling you, don’t miss “Sylvia” -- and that comes from an unreformed river rat who had to have her Coos Bay pals pry her out on a Saturday night. What a play! What a cast! What a great time! I laughed, I cried, I was duly impressed by everything about our new intimate Theatre 101. Like I said, if you’re after a good time, you gotta catch “Sylvia.”

Letter to the Editor,On Sunday, October 7, three angels with the Port Orford Ambulance Service came to my rescue at my Elk River home. They responded rapidly to the 911 operator and I was delivered to Emergency at Southern Coos Hospital in Bandon with great skill and gentle care. (And -- I received excellent treatment at Southern Coos Hospital.)

A heartfelt thank-you to Gayle, Katrina and Tina.

Nella Abbott

main reason for not having one this year is people are too busy.

The board considered the placement of two speed signs at either end of the city. These signs have the speed limit posted on one metal sign and below it is a flash-ing illuminated sign which lets the driv-er know exactly how fast they are going. Signs like these are being used success-fully along Highway 20 in California be-tween Highway 101 and Interstate 5 and also have been installed at both ends of Laytonville, California. The speed signs are permanently mounted on posts and connected to the electrical system. They are on all the time and unlike a speed trailer don’t have to be moved from one location to the next.

The Chamber Board voted to participate in a campaign to collect and raise the $5,000 it will take to buy one sign. A private individual has already promised to buy one if other people will buy the second one. Donations can be made to the Chamber of Commerce and the mon-ey put into a special account and then turned over to the city when the $5,000 is raised. Mayor Jim Auborn got things off to a good start with his $50 donation followed by David Smith donating $100

from the Port and Starboard and city ad-ministrator Mike Murphy donating $25. Donations can be turned in at the Fun Zone or the Port and Starboard.

Rosy (Ronald R.) RoseliusOct. 2, 1932–Oct. 10, 2007

Hebron, Nebraska, St. Peter, Minnesota and Waverly Iowa were Rosy’s early homes.

His first two years of college were at Wartburg College in Waverly, and Texas Lutheran College in Seguin. He then attended the University of Texas in Austin. While there, Rosy married his Minnesota sweetheart, Donna Boie. Af-ter graduating with honors in Chemical Engineering, he and Donna moved to Point Richmond, California. They had two daughters, Roni and Jodi.

Rosy was employed by Chevron as part of their Research and Development team. Later, he worked in San Francisco for the Secretary of Chevron, as one of the advisors in econometrics.

He retired early, after more than thirty years with Chevron, to look for the ideal place to live. One of his journeys brought him to Port Orford, which had everything he was looking for: peaceful uncrowded seashores, nearby rivers in which to fish; places to hunt for rocks; and a great climate.

He and Donna moved to Port Orford in 1988, after Rosy had enthusiastically invested in the town. Many people re-member the Whale Cove Restaurant. He was awarded “man of the year” honors by the Southern Oregon Visitors Associ-ation. The aerial photograph often seen in realtors’ offices and in tourist-related buildings is one of his many projects, aimed at sharing the beauties of Port Orford.

One of his favorite hobbies, second only to rock collecting, became glass fusing. Introduced to the art of hot glass work by Jim Nowak, whom he assisted when-ever Jim needed an extra hand, Rosy began to form and fuse pieces of left-over Nowak art glass into earrings and pendants.

Rosy is survived by his wife, Donna, daughter Jodi Bagley, and son-in-law Michael Turner; grandchildren Eric and Kyli Turner, and Alissa and Jillian Bagley; brothers Roland (Rosy) and Donald (Rosy) Roselius.

A small memorial service will be held for Rosy. Time and date will be an-nounced later.

Arrangements are under the direc-tion of Myrtle Grove Funeral Service, 269-2851

New Gardens in Port OrfordJennifer Ewing, a resident of Port Or-ford, has secured a piece of property at the Senior Center on the corner at Six-teenth and Jackson Streets, where she will construct the Port Orford Educa-tional Demonstration Garden.

The Demonstration Garden will consist of nine raised garden beds enclosed in wood and compost bins at the rear of the garden. Ms. Ewing will use the garden to teach workshops on many garden re-lated topics and wants to demonstrate to the community how easy raised beds are to build and care for when growing veg-etables, herbs and flowers organically in your own yard. It will be available for instruction to anyone wanting to learn about gardening, including schools, the garden club, The Common Good, the lo-cal nurseries, etc.

actly where your food comes from and how it was grown. Teaching people to be more self-sustaining by supplement-ing their meals with food from their own garden is a start at better nutrition and better budgeting of money spent at the grocery store. In the future, Ms. Ewing plans to call in the help of the Master Gardeners to teach nutrition, food pres-ervation, and cooking classes.

Jennifer Ewing is a professional gar-dener and retired nursery owner from the Rogue Valley. She has applied for a grant to fund the project but must raise matching funds locally. The beds will be built this winter and plans are to have the garden ready for planting by Febru-ary/March of 2008. If you would like to help make these gardens happen, you may send a check to P.O.E.D.G., c/o Port Orford Senior Center, PO Box 167, Port Orford, OR 97465. Also, look for the donation containers around town. Let’s make these gardens a success!

Certified Wildlife HabitatGary and Cheryl Wickham’s property located along Hubbard Creek has been recognized as an official Certified Wild-life Habitat site by the National Wildlife Federation. This achievement contrib-utes to the organization’s goal of certi-fying 100,000 sites by the end of 2007. The property attracts a variety of birds, butterflies and other wildlife, while helping to protect the local environment. With the help of the NWF, many habitat enthusiasts have turned their yards and other garden spaces into enticing wild-life refuges.

Game Day at CenterMondays are game day at the Port Orford Senior Center. This Monday we had three tables of game players. Games start at 1:30pm and we have plenty of variety from Scrabble to Monopoly. Everyone is welcome.

NWF began the Wildlife Habitat certi-fication program in 1973 and has since certified over 86,000 habitats nation-wide. The majority of these sites rep-resent the hard work and commitment of individuals and families providing habitat near their homes, but NWF has also certified more than 2,800 schools and hundreds of businesses and com-munity sites. Certified habitats can be

found everywhere from post offices, hospitals, and places of worship to com-munity parks, corporate buildings and municipal facilities. The average habitat is between one third and one half acre, but certified sites range from urban bal-conies to thousand-acre areas.

Participants who achieve certification receive membership in the National Wildlife Federation, including a one-year subscription to the award winning National Wildlife magazine, with inspir-ing wildlife articles and amazing nature photography. They also receive a per-sonalized certificate and quarterly news-letters, and are eligible to post NWF’s special outdoor sign designating their yard or garden as wildlife friendly.

For more information about this new NWF Wildlife Habitat, please contact the Wickham’s at 541-332-4012.

A Star is BornBy Evan Kramer

A star was born in Port Orford last Fri-day night and its name is Theater 101. The theater troupe that makes up The-ater 101 put on the first play in their new “black box” theater located at 1320 N. Highway 101 in the Sea Side Plaza building. The theater seats about 80 people and opened with the two act, four actor play “Sylvia”.

The play stars Dianne Campbell-An-tonio as Sylvia, Rick Antonio as Greg, Tere Tronson as Kate and Kennon Ste-vens in the multiple roles of Tom, Phyl-lis and Leslie.

The play is by A.R. Guerney and takes place in an apartment in Manhattan and in Central Park. Sylvia is dog and when Greg brings her into his life it creates a major rift with Kate. The play is very funny and professionally acted. All the actors do great but no one has quite the role that Dianne Campbell-Antonio has as Sylvia. She becomes a dog and one you fall in love with as Greg did.

The play runs for three performances this weekend at Theater 101 and tickets are $10 in advance at the Fun Zone or at the

No RecallThe recall effort against city councilors Steve Abbott and John Hewitt is over. City Clerk Patty Clark was notified on Monday afternoon the petitions would not be turned in so there will be no recall election.

At the city council meeting Councilor Milton Finch said that the petitions were not turned “for the good of the city” to save money. He said they had collected well over the needed 79 signatures but that the signature petitions had already been destroyed.

door. This is the best thing to happen to this town this year other than the begin-ning of construction on our new library. Please go see this play and laugh and cry and be happy and enjoy a group of outstanding professionals do their thing. Thanks to Peri Rask the artist director and John Rask the technical director for their work in putting together this the-ater troupe and putting on Sylvia.

Letter to the Editor,The opponents of Measure 49 on the November 6th special election ballot call it “a wolf in sheep’s clothing.” They have it wrong. The wolf was Measure 37, which Proposition 49 would correct to reflect the voters’ actual intent.

Libraries Sponsor Free Chautauqua Program

The Pacific Northwest, and particularly Oregon, is the least-churched region of the country. Recent public opinion polls suggest that relatively few people here identify with a historic religious tradition - leading scholars refer to this region as the “None Zone.” Yet spiritu-ality abounds in this secular province. For example, Oregon is a Mecca for new spirituality that is manifest in core values, ritual practices, transcendent ex-periences, and communities that engage non-churchgoers.

Southern Oregon University professor Mark Shibley will discuss what spiritu-ality means in one of the least-churched states in “The None Zone: Religion and Public Life in the Pacific Northwest.” The Langlois and Port Orford Public Li-braries are pleased to host this Oregon Chautauqua from the Oregon Council for the Humanities. This free, public program will take place on Saturday, November 3, 2007, at 2:00pm at the Langlois Library.

Similarly, nature religion pervades popular culture and increasingly drives conflict over the management of natural resources, and the explosive anti-gov-ernment millennialism of the 1980s and early 1990s continues to simmer in the countryside. On the church side, evan-gelical Protestantism is experiencing resurgence in the region. Shibley high-lights these religious patterns and raises questions about the past and future role of secular spirituality and church-based religion in the public life of the Pacific Northwest.

The Oregon Council for the Humanities is an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Hu-manities that is dedicated to the belief that knowledge and ideas are fundamen-tal to the health of our communities.

Measure 37 was promoted by a cleverly deceptive campaign to let a little old lady get some value from her property for her advanced years. But she was not Little Red Riding Hood—she was the WOLF! Measure 49 would bring land use regulation where we all thought it would and should be--but for the cyni-cal campaign for 37, paid for by big land developers. To mix a metaphor, that lady was a stalking horse for Big Timber and Big Out-of-State Developers.

Measure 49 will bring Oregon’s land use regulation to where we thought it would be. If you want to see the Willamette Valley transformed into strip malls and Wal Mart parking lots, vote no on 49. If you want an Oregon with fine vineyards, rich orchard lands and good stewardship of farm lands, Vote Yes on 49.

That’s why the Oregon Farm Bureau urges Yes on 49. That’s why the Oregon wine growers urge Yes on 49. That’s why anyone who came to Oregon to escape the faceless, greedy land use practices to the south of us, urge a Yes on 49.

Gloria Dei ChoirGloria Dei Lutheran Church Choir from Coos Bay will present the third Mildred Hill Concert at Zion Lutheran Church, Port Orford Sunday November 4 at 3:00pm in the afternoon. The concert will be free of charge because the sing-ers perform for the enjoyment of their listeners and the glory of God.

This 25 voice ensemble is touring to several other south coast venues this October. Director David Aakre has de-

Letter to the Editor,To all the customers of the Lyon’s Den Espresso and Port Orford community, we just wanted to say thank you so much for your business and support. We enjoyed getting to know so many of you. My family and I will miss you all but will take great memories with us as we move back to Washington. I encour-age you to continue coming into the cof-fee shop as it will stay open with new owners Dina Prevele and Tim Briggs. The business name will be “Siren fine chocolate’s espresso”. They will contin-ue to offer all I did and more. They are great people who will appreciate your business and friendships as much as I. So long for now. We will be around un-til the end of November. See you when we visit!

Sincerely,

Jennessa and Ethan Lyon

The Movie ZoneBy Ginelle Weber

OK, so I have finally decided to write a movie column. Just to give you some background on my preferences here are some of my fave movies:

Pulp Fiction- Anything Tarentino is re-lated to. Amelie- I love foreign films. This one and the German Run Lola Run are high-grade eye candy and keep a lively pace. He Man and She Ra Se-cret of the Sword Hey, don’t laugh, this movie rocked my world when I was a kid.

Any how, each week I’ll let you in a few more you might have missed and catch you up on the new releases. Also check out the emerging DFZ workers choice section for easy pickings on pre-approved film. In case you are wonder-ing about the movie at the theater The Kingdom is about a CIA agent in the Middle East trying to uncover a bomb-ing conspiracy. This week the word is Mr. Woodcock is coming to town. Susan Sarandon, Billy Bob, and Sean William Scott (aka Stiffler) star in a plot around a mom marrying a despised high school gym teacher. I probably won’t watch Transformers, but Brenda and Larry did and they say “It’s great with lots of action!” Right now I am behind on the newer releases but will be catching up soon!

veloped his singers to a high level of competence over a number of years. They will sing a variety of sacred and secular numbers.

Third in a series of four Mildred Hill Concerts in 2007, first year of the series, the choir has been preceded by Dark Rose Trio of classical guitarists and Hanneke Casell’s Celtic Fiddle concert with accompanist Cali McKasson. Over 100 people have enjoyed both these events.

Fourth and final concert will be present-ed Saturday, December 1 at 7:30pm, a piano and cello classical concert by Ste-phen and Lisa Truelove from Ashland, Oregon. Tickets will cost $7.50 each, with youth through age 18 admitted free, a policy of Mildred Hill Concerts.
