By-Law Changes PassBy Evan Kramer

Coos-Curry ElectricCoop held its annualmeeting on Saturday atPacific High School.One of the highlights ofthe annual meeting wasthe election results,which were announced

at the end of the business part of themeeting. By-Law change #1 to make allvoting by mail passed overwhelminglyby a 985-204 margin. By-Law change #2which would reduce the number of boardmembers from nine to five and the num-ber of zones from nine to five districts bythe year 2008 passed. Owner-membersvoted by a margin of 848-335 in favor ofit. Gary R. Schlottmann was elected tothe board from District 3 with a total of886 votes but the position was eliminat-ed by the by-law change. There is nowone board position in Gold Beach heldby Dale Thomas.

Myrtle Point zone 7 Director GrantCombs was elected. He ran unopposedand received 848 votes. Over the courseof the next three years the Myrtle Point,Coquille and Bandon zones will be re-duced to one district.

Zone 6 (Langlois) had two write-in can-didates. Daryl Robison was elected inthat race with 165 votes to David Pe-sonen with 74 votes but By-Law change#2 eliminated Zone 6. Jean Shank willnow represent Port Orford and Langloisin District 4. There are now seven boardmembers.

Several employees of Chetco FederalCredit Union and Sterling Savings Bankin Port Orford counted the votes. Thevote counters were Denise Piggott, RuthPagano, Maria Forty and Jeanie Hensleyfrom Chetco and Cher Marsh, Kari En-gdahl and Nicole Green from Sterling.

The business meeting began with an in-troduction of the board and a specialpresentation to recently retired GoldBeach board member Vern Kolen. Heserved 48 years on the Coos-Curry Boardfrom 1956-2005. Board chairman TerryHanscam presented Kolen with an an-tique electric meter, which had been con-verted into a lamp. Kolen said every-thing was going smoothly with the Coopand urged people not be afraid of change.He described his time on the board as thebest years of his life.

Retiring board member from LangloisZone 6 Dick Hildebrand was also giventhe same going away present as Kolen.He had served 21 years on the board.

Board president Terry Hanscam called2004 a year of making changes to ensurethe Coop’s stability.

Board secretary Dale Thomas said he ranfor the board two years ago to help outwith the South Coast Satellite tax prob-lems. He spoke of other problems in-cluding the core electric business run-ning in the red for three years, two over-due audits, back taxes and subsidiaryventures under-performing. Thomas saidthe Coop’s tax-exempt status with theIRS was at risk because the zones did nothave equal representation.

Board treasurer David Itzen gave a re-view of the Coop’s operating marginsfrom 1999-2005. In 1999 the margin was$2.9 million positive but by 2002 theoperating margin was $2.6 million in thenegative. In 2004 the margin was$400,000 and in 2005 it is project theCoop margin will be $1.3 million to thepositive. Itzen said the Board was forcedto raise rates as cost for power had goneup 71% at the same time Coos Curryrates only rose 21% during the years2000-2003.

The executive board and general manag-er presented an overwhelming amount offinancial and other information aboutthe Coop at the meeting. We were told it

He said the audit informationis available on the web site. Hanscamsaid the Coop got a clean bill of healthfrom the auditor. The Coop will be pur-chasing paid newspaper advertising in aquestion and answer information formatin the seven newspapers within theCoop’s boundary.

wasn’t very good and thus it was hard tounderstand what was being said.

Once the business part of the meetingwas over it was time to eat. The PortOrford Rotary Club was in charge offeeding the several hundred people at themeeting and they served us a deliciousbarbecued chicken lunch with beans, coleslaw, rolls, cake, lemonade, and coffee.Thank you to the Rotary Club for theirexcellent barbecuing skills.

Thank YouBy Gayle Wilcox, Chief

The Port Orford Volunteer Fire Depart-ment would like to say thank you andcongratulations on a job well done dur-ing the recent Tsunami Warning. Ourcitizens were orderly, polite, helpful andfast during the evacuation. People wentto several different higher locations sono one place was overcrowded. For the

most part, people parked to one side ofthe road to allow other vehicles to con-tinue to utilize the roadway. Please re-member there are people behind you; donot stop to talk or turn around. This isextremely important. You checked onyour neighbors and offered assistance.There was no chaos or panic.

Our job as your Fire Department, in theevent of any potential catastrophe is tonotify as many people as possible in asshort amount of time as possible. Ourinformation comes from our dispatchingcenter at the Sheriff’s office. At this time,there are several methods of notifica-tions.

One method is with our siren. Our sirenis hand set off in our hall and is onlycapable of producing the sound you arefamiliar with. That may change at somepoint, but it is the only siren we havenow. As you know, during the warning,

it wailed for much longer than when wehave a fire or other emergency calls.

We do not rely only on the siren becausemany of you will not hear it, regardlessof the tone it emits. When the wind isblowing, the distance and direction thatthe sound of the siren carries varies tre-mendously. If you are mowing your lawn,in your car with the radio on or taking ashower, etc. it is likely you will not hearthe siren.

When the siren has stopped sounding, itdoes not mean an all clear. It means thatwe have evacuated our Fire Hall and noone is left to continue to reset the timer.We evacuated our equipment and our-selves when our dispatcher informed usthat there was between 5 to 10 minutesbefore the possible arrival of the tsuna-mi.

Our other method of notification is to gointo our low-lying areas and notify withour loudspeakers and go house to houseknocking on doors. We did that until wewere given the 5-10 minute notification.We did not get to every home, as we

ultimately had to evacuate our equip-ment and ourselves.

A great deal of notification was by wordof mouth; even from out of town. That, incombination with the siren, fire and po-lice personnel resulted in a very effectiveresponse to this Tsunami warning. Asyou know, in the event of a Tsunami orother catastrophic event occurring fol-lowing the warning, your emergency ser-vices personnel will have a vast under-taking before them. This is why it isessential to get our people and equip-ment evacuated in a timely manner. Fire,Ambulance, Police and Public Worksevacuate to the same place so, if neces-sary, we can begin a coordinated effortonce the initial catastrophic event is over.

Our City and County Emergency Servic-es personnel are using this recent Tsuna-mi Warning to pinpoint ways to improveour plans and response. We encourageconstructive comments and also encour-age families; neighbors and friends towork on your own plans as there is noone plan that can notify every person inour community. If everyone committedto warning one neighbor; we all couldcover a lot of territory with that plan.

Additionally this is a good time to pre-pare your own survival kit if you haven’talready done so. Remember to includeyour medications.

As Fire Chief, I am very proud of thework your volunteer firefighters did. Theydeserve the heartfelt thanks of this com-munity for their dedication, quick think-ing and excellent response. They put ourcommunity first. I am proud to be amember of this Department.

If you’re considering joining the FireDepartment, you may pick up an applica-tion at Sea Breeze Florist.

Again thanks to this community for anexcellent response.

Proposed Wildlife RefugeBy Evan Kramer

The United States Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice (Service) came to Langlois on Thurs-day night and presented a proposal for aNew River Wildlife Refuge.

Roy Lowe, team leader for Service onthis proposal, began the meeting at Blan-co Middle School, with an overview ofthe National Wildlife Refuge System. Hesaid there are 96 million acres in theUnited States under the Refuge Systemwith six of the Refuges on the OregonCoast including Coquille Point, BlancoReef, Cape Meares, Nestuca Bay Ref-uge, Siletz Bay, and Bandon Marsh.

The proposed study area for the NewRiver Wildlife Refuge area encompasses5,900 acres and goes as far north as CroftLake and south to Floras Lake Road,west to the ocean and east to parts ofHighway 101. Lowe described this areaas mostly open ground and that it encom-

passed New Lake, Bethel Creek, JuneCreek and Croft Lake. He said a largepopulation of Aleutian “cackling” geeseinhabits the area in spring before flyingnon-stop to the Aleutian Islands. He saidthere were 40,000 geese in the area lastyear and 20,000 at the peak this year.

Lowe described this meeting as part ofthe planning process to study the feasi-bility of establishing a National WildlifeRefuge in the New River area. He saidthe Service was interested in acquiring“conservation easements” for establish-ing the Wildlife Refuge and made a pointof saying the Service was “only lookingfor willing sellers of conservation ease-ments.” Lowe said the scooping phase ofthe project goes through July 8, 2005,when the Service must receive publiccomment. He said a final decision on aWildlife Refuge wouldn’t be made untilJanuary 2006 of whether to establish arefuge or not. He emphasized that partic-ipation in the refuge was voluntary.

Lowe said that part of a property and notall could be an easement and that alleasements would remain private proper-ty. If the property owner were to sell aconservation easement on all or part oftheir property the Service would have theright to enhance pastures and wetlandsand that geese and other wildlife wouldhave the right to use the property. Land-owners would not be allowed to haze thegeese.

The public was invited to make com-ments and ask questions. Curry CountyCommissioner Lucie La Bonte said shehad found out about this project on aflyer and asked why the Service didn’tcontact the commissioners. La Bonte saidshe felt very uncomfortable with thisprocess. Local rancher Mike Knapp toldthe Service “thanks but no thanks” anddescribed the conservation easements asa “cloud” on your deed.

Lowe was asked how much money hadbeen budgeted for buying conservationeasements and he said he didn’t know.Lowe was asked why this area should beturned into a Wildlife Refuge and hedescribed it as a guarantee for the futureof the wildlife. Lowe said the Servicecouldn’t pay farmers for depredationcaused by the geese (who like to eat thefresh new grass shoots).

Lowe was asked what the benefits wereto local residents and he used as anexample having and knowing there areopen spaces. He said the conservationeasement lands would only be open tothe public with the landowner’s permis-sion. Lowe said the Aleutian cacklinggoose would be coming off the endan-gered species list and that hunting of itwould be allowed.

Lowe was asked again why the Servicecouldn’t just subsidize farmers for whatthe geese eat in their fields and Lowe saidthe money is for buying conservationeasements, not mitigation of damages.

Letter to the Editor,I want to share some personal observa-tions about the Walk for Truth, Justice,and Community Jared Tarr and I sharedwith others from across Oregon. I wasthere two days of the Walk and I cameaway thankful for the respectful recep-tion we were given by the staff of thecapitol building: from the security guardsto the aides and legislators we met. Inever felt I wasn’t welcome to be thereand express my views.

Also I was heartened that so many felt sostrongly enough to make the journey,knowing they were backed by many oth-ers who could not come. When it comesto world affairs it’s easy to feel isolatedand alone, but more and more peoplewant changes made in the way our stateand national administrations interact withthe rest of the world.

Port Orford will be happy to know whatothers think of us. Many times after in-troducing myself and my hometown, Iwas told “Oh, we take our inspirationfrom Port Orford.” The passage of theBill of Rights act and our involvement inpeace issues have been noted and appre-ciated by many outside our small town.

Jared completed the entire walk. Regard-less of how you may feel about the goalsof the Walk, Jared deserves the town’sthanks for representing Port Orford in apositive, respectful way. I know the LoveMonkeys are proud of him.

It allows youto quickly and easily download topo mapsor arial photos of anywhere in the conti-nental US! To get started you need thelatitude and longitude of the place youwish to view. This can be obtained fromwww.terraserver.microsoft.com. Then

choose “T” for Topo map view, “P” forphoto view or “U” for color hi-res arialviews available only in certain Urbanareas like Los Angeles. You should see agray screen marked off with grid lines.Press “F” to “Fill” (download) the screenwith data. You can then use your arrowkeys to move north, south, east, or west,or use the PgUp/PgDn keys to zoom in orout. There are two different sets of photodata files for different resolutions so ifyou zoom too far, the screen may go blankuntil you Fill it (“F”) with data in the newresolution format. Once you’ve down-loaded an area in a given resolution range,it remains on your hard disk and you canview it, scroll, zoom, whatever at harddisk speed. Way cool!!!

Threats and StatisticsBy Valerie Jean Kramer

Tsunami’s travel at an average of about450 miles per hour. On Tuesday, June14, a strong quake occurred at 7:50pm.Had it produced a tsunami, it would havehit Crescent City, 90 miles away about8:02pm. The alarm was sounded inCrescent City at 8:14pm – much too lateto have done any good. Likewise in PortOrford, the news was spread too late.

I am impressed with the local neighborsand volunteer heros who, for all theyknew, risked their lives to warn others.My hats off to them! Should you get a

tsunami warning, don’t rush to the beachoverlooks to see the tsunami arrive. If itis a tsunami, it might well be the lastthing you ever see! Instead, head for highground calmly. Don’t create traffic jams,car accidents, injuries, or other problems.

The government and local folks havebeen spending a lot of time and moneylately to put up warning signs and toprepare for tsunamis. The tsunami lastDecember 26 showed that they CAN bedeadly. But, is the risk the same here onthe Oregon coast as it is on south Pacificislands that may only be a few feet abovesea level? I don’t think so! The fact is thatonly one tsunami in all of recorded history

has been known to cause deaths in thecontinental United States. That was the1964 tsunami that killed 11 in CrescentCity, CA and four in Newport, OR. Let’scompare that to a few other causes ofdeath (From www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm, statistics for 2002):

Heart Disease 696,947Cancer 557,271Accidents 106,742Diabetes 73,249Flu/Pneumonia 65,681Tsunamis 0

All other things being equal, I’d thinkTsunami preparation was a great idea,but all other things aren’t equal. There isonly so much time, money, and manpoweravailable for good causes so we need toput them where they will do the mostgood. Looking at the statistics. Do youthink tsunami-related projects are thebest use of our taxes? I certainly don’t.
