Radio Active Community?
By Linda Tarr
Partly in response to an outpouring of
nation-wide grassroots activism, the
Federal Communications Commission
has opened an application window for
licenses for full-power non-commercial
educational radio stations, and included
in their point system a preference for
‘local diversity’. This means that there
is a greater chance of getting a license
for a station that is producing its own
broadcasts locally and including educational content of relevance to local
citizens. It has been over 7 years since
an application window has been opened
and there is no way of knowing when it
will occur again.
North Curry Families’ and Children’s
Center has recognized this opportunity
and partnered with the 2CJ school system in applying for such a license. The
FCC offers no information as to how
long it will take to determine whether a
license will be granted. But, if NCFCC
is one of the new licensees, this community will have three years to raise
the money to build a station and begin
broadcasting. The frequency and antenna location applied for would allow for
full-power clear reception from Bandon
to Humbug Mountain. Since FM transmissions are ‘line of site’, the signal will

be carried from Stone Butte to the entire
coastal plain and for quite a ways out to

will reach a short ways up the Sixes and
Elk River canyons.
about parenting for listeners in the community. It would also be wonderful to
further NCFCC’s elder wisdom project
by continuing to interview elders in our
community and putting their voices, and
knowledge of local history, on the air.
The vision for North Curry Community
Radio is one in which local people are
active in producing content that is relevant and useful to the listeners. The
2CJ School Board responded to the enthusiastic interest of Robert Tiffany, the
new technology teacher at Pacific High
School, supporting him in offering curricula related to a radio station. Students
will be able to learn the technical skills
involved in building and running a station and be responsible, under supervision, for some of the on-air broadcasts.
One suggestion is that the schools’
sporting events could be covered on the
radio. A high priority would be that the
radio would play an important role in
giving a voice to students in our community and informing the community of
the activities of the schools.
An important role of local radio would
be to provide news of relevance to the
community, including state and national
news. This community radio station
would not duplicate the NPR coverage
already provided by Jefferson Public
Radio. It would be a goal, however, to
provide news of the State of Oregon,
which is currently unavailable. Another suggestion is to carry ‘Democracy
Now’, a syndicated national news service which would be available for free,
for one year. It would also be great to
broadcast news and information related
to our local port, fishers, farmers and
ranchers, outdoorspeople, scientists, artists, and artisans.
Community Radio would also fulfill its
educational mission by partnering with
local adult literacy efforts, making local information available to those for
whom written material is inaccessible. It
would further the existing ‘Mommy and
Me’ program, by providing information
Local radio is extremely useful in providing emergency information and local
weather alerts. There are FEMA funds
available to help sustain such broadcasts.
But community radio will also entertain.
A large part of the programming would
be music played by volunteer DJ’s who

want to share their particular knowledge
and passion for all genres of music. The
bees knees would be to have live performances by local and visiting musicians.
Also, live radio theatre would be possible, as well as literary readings and interviews. Many people have an interest
in reading stories on the air, particularly
to children. And there are some wonderful creative shows such as ‘This American Life’ and ‘RadioLab’, to which we
could subscribe if funding allowed.
The key to community radio is community participation and support. The vision is not to have a slick, professional,
predictable format like the ones that are
already available. The idea is to have
lively, open-minded, diverse programming that reflects the character of the
community; engaging, challenging, encouraging, and hopefully, upfull.
It is never too soon to show your support
for community radio. Your donations to

On the Road Again
By Evan Kramer
Sunday was Stampfest 2007 at the Seven
Feathers Hotel and Casino Resort in Canyonville. Valerie and I hit the road early
in order to get to the stamp show which
opened at 10:00am. We saw a beautiful
red sky at the Sixes River looking to the
east and it boded well for the rest of the
“dry” day. We took Highway 101 to 42
and then over to Coquille and Winston
before turning south on 99 through Dillard and going past the Roseburg Forest
Products Mill. There are plenty of trains
on the tracks adjacent to and in the various mill site buildings but no more of
them in Coos Bay.
There weren’t a lot of vendors at the
Stampfest held in one of the convention
center rooms at the casino but there were
enough good ones to keep Valerie occupied for over four hours. Since I don’t
collect stamps I went off and did two
of my favorite things which are walking and exploring. I drove the one mile
to the center of Canyonville (population
1,382) and then walked all over town on
the very quiet Sunday morning. Downtown Canyonville’s main street parallels
Interstate 5 and is two short blocks to
the east of the freeway. That’s where the
traffic was as there was very little of it in
Canyonville. The town has a lovely city
park one block off the main drag with a
creek running through it and a covered
wooden bridge over it for pedestrians
and bicycles. The town had held their
annual pumpkin festival the day before,
so all I got to see of it was people taking
the trash away on Sunday morning.
I drove back for lunch and we went under the freeway to the tribal owned truck
stop, gas station and restaurant and ate
at the 1950’s-feeling Creekside Restaurant.
We went back to the hotel so Valerie
could spend more time at the stamp show
and I could continue my explorations.
This time I spent some time in the valet

park area noticing how much traffic was
flowing in that Sunday afternoon. After
being suitably impressed I explored the
casino again but didn’t stick long at the
slot machine I chose to contribute to. As
the slot machines no longer take coins
and no longer have handles to pull I felt
like time had passed me by, so I did my
thing and got up and left for another
saunter through the neighborhood. This
time I headed north from the casino into
the residential/agricultural neighborhood and came across a small farm with
a pumpkin patch and lots of good looking locally grown produce for sale. The
pumpkin patch was a big hit with the
many families that came by to buy. It’s
always a pleasure to be able to buy produce from where it was grown and see
the land at its most productive.
By 3:00pm it was time for even Valerie to feel ready to leave so we headed
back north on 5 to 42 and back home
again. The fall colors along 42 made the
drive both ways special and well worth.
Though most of the trees are evergreens
there are enough deciduous trees turning
yellow and orange and brown to brighten up the drive.
Letter to the Editor,
Vote No on Measure 49. Our Oregon
state capital building is capped with the
time honored symbol of the founders of
this wonderful state, a golden pioneer.
Our forefathers came west in search of
a better life, their own property, individual freedom, that the Oregon Promised
Land gave to early pioneers.
Time-honored individual property rights
will be destroyed if Measure 49 passes.
Oregon property owners on farms,
ranches, and other land classifications
will lose their time honored property
rights and individual freedom if this
“terrible piece of Legislation passes”.
Vote No on 49 – Protect individual property rights!

Letter to the Editor,
Unlike the author of a recent letter to the
editors, I have read the entire Measure
49, and all 61 pages of arguments, both
for and against this measure. To alert voters, I must write and inform people that
his measure was passed in the legislature
by one vote, and, after passage, the Oregon Supreme Court was not allowed to
preview it before it was included on the
ballot. It is interesting to note that some
of those in favor of the measure include
“The Nature Conservancy”, who funded
it with $1,000,000. These are the people
responsible for the loss of jobs, in both
the fishing and timber industries, and

Join Us!
the revenue created by these jobs, with
restrictive and oppressive regulations on
both industries.
Furthermore, in reading the letters opposing the measure, I discovered not
one, I repeat, not even one major land
developer! In fact, they were composed
of farmers and legislators who voted
against the bill, because it further restricts what you can do with your own
property, and gives the State of Oregon
the right to determine the land’s use. It is
written such that if you object or appeal
the state’s decision you must pay for not
only your attorney, and appraiser, but
also the government attorney and appraiser, even if you win! If this horrible

measure passes, state and local government will be able to pass new land use
regulations that can destroy the value of
your home and property without compensation! In reading over the “yes”
statements, I was struck by the fact that
almost all of these requests for subdivision of property under Measure 37, were
for an average lot size between two and
a half and five acres. This is not the subdivisions that we saw used as scare tactics, which have many people believing
thousand acres were going to be covered
by 50’ by 60’ lots with way too many
homes! Not true! The legislature and
those in favor of passage of Measure 49
are counting on the fact that 99% of the
people looking the measure over won’t
read past the first page. Remember folks,
this measure is to “fix” 37, which was
passed by two thirds of the voters in this
State, and regards only 1% of the land in
the whole state. We need to defeat this
ill-conceived land grab by the State that
wants to tell you what you can and can’t
do with your property! No on 49.
Thank you,

Unwanted Inheritance
Doctor Robert Bolin will talk about and
sign his debut novel, Unwanted Inheritance, at 11 AM this Saturday, October
27 at Gold Beach Books. The novel
seeks to capture a family’s love and
devotion in the face of life-changing
cancer. Having over 20 years of practice
as an oncologist on the south coast of
Oregon, with many years at the North
Bend Medical Center, Dr. Bolin is very
familiar with cancer treatment, as well
as with the coastal area in which the
novel is set.

ters, is living an idyllic life on a small
south coast farm when breast cancer
wreaks havoc in her psyche and with
her marriage. The novel spans a generation as the protagonist copes with postcancer challenges, including one of her

until a discovery of a unique genetic defect, and a subsequent dramatic revelation, put her on a path to healing.

Unusual for a novel, there are extensive
chapter notes at the end, plus a glossary
of medical terms. The notes discuss the
medical aspects of cancer, explaining
various statements made by the novel’s
characters. The notes draw richly from
Dr. Bolin’s medical experience and
cover a wide range of topics, from current cancer research to relevant Oregon
laws, and include information about
south coast locales.
Bookstore owner Ted Watkins says,
“Dr. Bolin is an accomplished and witty
speaker, who entertains as well as educates; he makes new fans wherever he
goes.”
The book signing is open to all without
charge. Those unable to attend the signing may order signed copies in advance
by telephoning the bookstore at (541)

Port General Bond Tax
One of the few taxing districts which
saw a fluctuation in the tax rates was
the Port of Port Orford for the general
obligation bond measure passed by voters nearly ten years ago. The tax rate
increased six cents per thousand dollars
this year for the Port but only on the
general obligation bond.
Voters in the Port District passed a $1.5
million dollar General Obligation bond
and are paying for it over 20 years. The
bond payment this year is for $118,000
and is due on December 1. The Port
District imposed a tax rate totaling
$114,000 for the bond and will make
up the difference with money left over
from last year. The payment goes to the
Bank of New York and all contractors
who worked on building the new Port
have been paid.
Looking at your property tax bill you’ll
see the general obligation bond issue is
on there but not listed as a general bond
payment. It is listed under the column
for “excluded from limitation”: PortPort Orford.
The Port of Port Orford general tax levy
is listed under the category general obligation and is limited by law to a 3%
increase each year. There is no limitation on a general obligation bond. The
important thing is the Port has to collect enough money each year to make
the bond payment on December 1. The
Port inadvertently collected the general
obligation tax the first few years after
it was passed in advance of when they
were supposed to and then didn’t collect
it for a few years to get even again. Now
they are on course but had to raise the
tax by six cents per thousand to insure
full payment of the bond.
Letter to the Editor,
The people behind Oregonians in Action, the special interest group, seem to
have been caught by their own greed.
When the group promoted Measure 37,
they touted it as a remedy for little old
ladies aggrieved by Oregon’s land use
planning laws.
Then the Measure 37 claims started
pouring in. And we learned it was a wolf
in sheep’s clothing. We saw the claims
coming in for large scale suburban
sprawl, strip malls and so on.
So now, in their anti-49 campaign, Oregonians in Action is saying that, well,
the people that filed those egregious
claims didn’t really mean what they said
in their claims.
Folks, you know the saying...hit me
once shame on you, hit me twice shame
on me.
Don’t be deceived, again. Please Vote
‘yes’ on Measure 49.

Letter to the Editor,
Measure 49 is a good fix for Measure 37,
which was passed in the name of property rights but has turned out to be a disaster that threatens to chop up Oregon¹s
farms, forests, and ranchlands.
Measure 49 is based on a compromise
forged in the legislature that gives longtime property owners the opportunity to
build 3 to 10 homes but says no to largescale commercial developments on these
productive resource lands. Measure 49 is
supported by Gov. Kulongoski, several
former governors including Kitzhaber,
Roberts, and Atiyeh, by the League of

Taser Trainer
Officer John Fink of the Port Orford
Police Department recently completed
training through Taser International
and is now a certified Taser Instructor.
The Taser is a defensive weapon that
delivers 50,000 volts of electricity but
with very low amperage. The Taser can
shoot barbed darts out to as far as 32
feet which stick into a suspect and then
delivers a five second or shorter shot of
electricity into the subject temporarily
incapacitating them long enough to allow officers to secure them. The device
can also be used without the darts as a
direct contact stun gun. According to
Chief Creighton “The Taser is the best
piece of equipment we have. It is a less
than lethal alternative to the night stick,
and handgun and it has proven to prevent serious injury to officers and suspects by limiting hands-on altercations.
In the past, officers used hands on techniques which usually caused injury to
someone. When an officer utilizes equal
force to subdue a violent suspect, the
chances of serious injury to that officer
dramatically escalates and in situations
where officers are overpowered has resulted in officers being seriously injured

This “girls with guns” flick has been
called a female version of Mad Max
and stars Milla Jovovich. If you haven’t
heard of Milla you might remember her
as the orange haired heroine of The Fifth
Element. A stunning sci-fi-esque movie
filled with comedy, action, awesome
visual effects and Bruce Willis at his
sweaty best.
Previously I wrote of my love of the
director Quentin Tarentino, having just
watched is latest feature DeathProof I
was disappointed in the lack of originality. Most of the characters were ones
stolen from his old movies and while
I enjoy his use of dialogue it was too
much of a good thing making the film
sluggish.
In the employee’s picks section make
sure to check out “Romeo and Juliette”
with Leonardo DiCaprio and Clair
Danes for eye candy and all the feelings
of love. Another forgotten great, “Dangerous Beauty” set in Venice and full of
surprises. Brenda says “Meet the Robinsons” is even better than “Surf’s Up”
and for more scoops on recent movies
pick up a Pirate Parchment for Signey
Tronson’s excellent reviews.

Common Good Needs Support
Port Orford’s food bank, The Common
Good, needs your support. Government
surplus food is nearly non-existent,
leaving us to make ends meet with the
generosity of the community. We can
use items such as canned peaches, pears,
and applesauce, corn, carrots, and green
beans, pork and beans, chili beans and
stew, tuna or salmon, saltine crackers,
hamburger helper, cereals, frozen juices
especially orange juice, canned or bottled juices and tea and coffee.
If you have time to shop and make a
fresh or frozen delivery please make it
on Wednesdays. Store purchased fresh
vegetables can be distributed including
potatoes, onions, lettuce, apples, oranges, tomatoes, etc. Frozen vegetables and
fruits are also good.
Cash donations are used to fill in with
fresh items such as milk, eggs, margarine, break, meat, etc. You can bring
your donation next week, or drop it off
in the food barrels at Chetco, Sterling
Savings Bank, or Java John’s. Please:
no dented, expired, rusted, out of date,
or recalled foods. We can’t use them.
The Common Good is open on Wednesdays and is located on Idaho Street just
to the north of the corner of Fourteenth
Street.
Pumpkin Patch a Success
Despite rain showers and a hail storm,
the Fourth Annual Boosters Pumpkin
Patch was a success. Thank you to our
many supporters who braved the weather to come pick out a pumpkin and grab
a bite to eat. A big thank you to Sterling
Savings Bank for providing Halloween
sacks and safety lights to each and every child who visited us. The Pumpkin
Patch has become an annual event put
on by Booster clubs at Driftwood and
Blanco Schools. Money raised during
this event, as well as all the money raised
through out the year, is put back into the
curriculum of your local schools to help
support activities such as: student incentives, field trips, assemblies, books fairs
and the accelerated reader program. We
also use our funds to buy more books for
our libraries, purchase new sports and
playground equipment as well as fulfill
a variety of teacher requests.
Just 3 days after our Pumpkin Patch we
have kicked off our very popular Cookie
Dough fundraiser. We work with a local Oregon company who provides premium pre-made, frozen cookie dough
as well as jerky sticks. With this fundraiser, the students work hard to help the
Boosters raise money, so please show
your support if you are approached by
one of our student helpers. As always,
thanks for your continued support.
American Roots
Singer/songwriter Zack Freiwald will
offer a free concert at 8:00pm this Saturday, October 27 at the Biscuit Showroom inside Gold Beach Books.
Freiwald’s original guitar music has
been called “American roots,” with blue
collar underpinnings, drawing on his life
experiences as a U.S. Army veteran and
firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service.
In a Bruce Springsteen-fashion, his lyrics combine themes of love, war and the
struggles of a working man in today’s
world.
“I have a hard time describing my music,” Freiwald says, adding, “Some kids
tell me it’s like country, older people
say it reminds them of songs they heard
long ago.” Difficulty in categorizing his
music is a trait Freiwald shares with his
cousin, musician Jack Johnson, whose
breakthrough national album, “Brushfire
Fairytales,” has similar mixed themes.
Saturday’s concert is open to all without
charge. Gold Beach Books is located on
Pacific Highway 101 and First Streets in
Gold Beach.
