The depart-ment is aware of the problem.

The council awarded Certificates of Ap-preciation to Jerri Muskrat for her volun-teer work on behalf of the police depart-ment and to John Fink for his work as areserve member of the police depart-ment.

Auborn told Mielenz the council still hasa problem with the business’s two signs.

Councilor Campbell made a motion toapprove the right-of-way license for theplanting of shrubs by Kelly Dunbar at hisproperty on Jefferson Street. Campbell’smotion amended the right-of-way licenseto include the shrubs be approved by theCity.

The council approved Resolution 2006-13 which authorized the acceptance anddisbursement of a Community BlockGrant from the Oregon Economic andCommunity Development Department inthe amount of $500,000 for the construc-tion of a new Port Orford Public Library.

The council unanimously voted yes onOrdinance 2006-06 which proclaims noeminent domain for purely private bene-fit. Mayor Auborn said this Ordinancewas important in light of the recent Su-preme Court ruling in the case of NewLondon, Connecticut. People’s homeswere taken by eminent domain and thensold to a private developer. The councilordinance states the “City of Port Orfordshall not use the power of eminent do-main for the sole benefit of private enti-ties.” This ordinance is modeled on onerecently passed by Curry and JacksonCounties.

Wireless InternetThat boom truck with the crane and an-tennae on top of it in Port Orford onWednesday and Thursday was worth not-ing. Verizon has hired a contractor to testfor the best location for a wireless Inter-net antennae in Port Orford. The con-tractor had his truck adjacent to the Cityof Port Orford water tower on Wednes-day morning. The test antennae was raised125 feet above the truck and transmittingto a location in Port Orford. On Thursdayhe moved the antennae to a location nearthe Castaway Motel. The contractor saidVerizon intends to offer wireless Inter-net service in town within one year.

montagne has lived and worked, as alogger and a sheep farmer, for 65 years inCoos and Curry Counties. But for thepast 10 years, he has focused his atten-tion on researching lamprey in the SouthFork Coquille River and has come upwith some interesting theories. Comehear Grandmontagne’s story, learn aboutlamprey, and see the fascinating photosof this amazing creature that is native toour south coast rivers. This education

program is free, and all community mem-bers are welcome.

The presentation will be a unique oppor-tunity to learn about lamprey, a little-known creature that is native to our localrivers. It is also a chance to hear abouthow a man, untrained in science butdeeply interested and engaged in hisplace, has made a valuable contributionto understanding of fish in our rivers.

Port Commission MeetingBy Jane Cramer

The Port Commission with all membersand Port Manager Gary Anderson presentmet in regular session on Thursday, Jan-uary 19.

The February meeting will be held on theregular 3rd Tuesday meeting date (Feb-ruary 21). It had previously been decidedto change the date because of a CouncilChamber scheduling conflict which hassince been resolved.

Under Public Comment Jeff Miles, speak-ing for local fishermen, asked the Port totake the lead in an attempt to have aneconomic disaster situation declared be-cause of the financial impact on fisher-men and local businesses by weatherconditions and shoaling. Boats can onlygo in or out at high tide because ofshoaling and five boats have been dam-aged trying to get near the dock forunloading product and hoisting.

There was some discussion about dredg-ing due next week and whether that wouldimpact any decision. There is a fine linebetween dredging enough to keep thePort open after winter storms and reserv-ing enough allocated dredging funds tobring a clamshell dredge in next summer.Clamshell dredging is more cost effec-tive and has longer lasting benefits. ScottLuhr will contact Mike Murphy to deter-mine the process and ramifications of adisaster declaration.

Manager Gary Anderson spoke about aletter from DEQ giving the Port a cleanbill of health for the property at 5th Streetand Harbor Drive. The hole is beingfilled and Commissioners will have aworkshop meeting soon to explore plansfor utilizing the property to the best ad-vantage.

Only one response was received to theadvertisement for an Attorney of Record.Shala McKenzie Kudlac of Bandon wasapproved for the position.

There was a discussion about revisingthe Port’s Drug Policy. Anderson willcontact Special Districts for advice onrandom testing specifics.

Commissioners were given a record ofcommercial and sport hoists for the lastseven years. 2005 would have been anexcellent year except for the weather inDecember and the delay of crab seasonopening. Sport hoist totals in 2005 werethe best in the seven year period.

Anderson reported promising leads inthe effort to obtain matching funds for aConnect Oregon Grant to pay for the Portto install its own dredging equipment.

Anderson has applied for a Transient

Lodging Tax grant to replace the signgoing down to the Port.

Commissioners and the public were re-minded to attend two important upcom-ing meetings. The first will be a townmeeting on Tuesday, January 31 at 7pmin the Council Chambers. The public isinvited to address plans for changes tothe Port Orford Strategic Plan. The sec-ond will be Friday, February 3 at 6:30 atthe Savoy Theater. There will be a 30minute film followed by a question andanswer period about marine reserves.

When we obtain that vehicle wewill be will have an additional vehiclethat can be used as a VIPS patrol vehicle.The department will start the program in

a couple months so we can be ready forthe summer months. If you are interestedplease contact the Port Orford PoliceDepartment and fill out a backgroundinformation sheet.

Port Orford Library Newsby Tobe Porter, Director

We are extremely pleased to announcethat we received a $40,000 grant fromthe James F. and Marion C. Miller Foun-dation and $14,250 from the CoquilleTribal Community Fund. The first grantis for construction of the new library, thesecond is to help outfit the large meetingroom with state of the art audio visualequipment as well as tables, chairs andsuch. The Port Orford Rotary and theFriends of the Port Orford Library havealso raised and donated funds to be usedfor the meeting room and the Friends’area in the new library. Isn’t it nice howit’s all coming together?

We just received another shipment ofnew books, so come by soon and checkout the latest titles. Do you know that wehave videos and DVDs, books on cas-sette and CD, and now books on MP3 foryour listening and viewing pleasure.Surely there is something for everyoneamong all those initials. Visit our web-site, polibrary.org, for more informationabout our collection and our programs.

On Saturday, January 28, at 2:00pm inthe Langlois Library, we are co-sponsor-ing a Chautauqua program: “WitchesGarden—the hidden meeting of fairytales.” Just what is a “Chautauqua pro-gram?” Founded in 1874 by business-man Lewis Miller and Methodist minis-ter John Heyl Vincent, Chautauqua’sinitial incarnation was in western NewYork State on Lake Chautauqua. Chau-tauqua assemblies of old offered chal-lenging, informational, and inspirationalstimulation to rural and small-townAmerica. Today, the Oregon Council forthe Humanities (OCH) follows that tra-dition with their Chautauqua programs.Each one promotes an understanding ofthe humanities and the vital role ofthought and ideas in our daily lives.Hmmmm, a good idea…attending Chau-tauqua programs.
