Click on the tabs for Bay Area Weekly, Pacific Coast Living, or Bay Area Police Gazette www.jcnews.us The Oregon State Medical Examiner released Drug Related Death statistics for 2012. Out of the 223 drug related deaths statewide, Coos County had four, all involving Methamphetamines. That amount tied for ninth overall. There were no drug related deaths recorded in Curry Co. Multnomah Co. led the state with 103 reported drug related deaths, 18 to meth, and a state leading 80 to Heroin. The overall amount of drug related deaths in the state in 2012 stands third for the years between 2002 and 2012. In 2011 there were 240 deaths related to drugs in Oregon. Trapped in car A 93-year old North Bend man was trapped in his wrecked vehicle off Agness Road in Curry Co. for 29-hours. Rescuers found Alfred "Bill" Sweet Tuesday night, June 4. He was reported missing Monday evening when he failed to return home after spending time at a cabin near Agness. Dehydrated, Sweet was otherwise in good condition with only minor scratches. He was taken to Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach. Coos County Dedicates Memorial Garden The Coos County Board of Commissioners dedicated a Memorial Garden located in front of the Courthouse on Wednesday, June 5, 2013. The Memorial Garden was dedicated to the memory of two County Commissioners that recently passed away while in office, Andy Jackson and Nikki Whitty. This project came together through the efforts of Eagle Scout Josiah Cunningham, Edenscapes Landscape Services, Kevin Yeager, former Commissioner Cam Parry, and numerous County staff members. “This project is truly a group effort” said Commissioner Melissa Cribbins “the Maintenance Department and the Roads Department worked with community members to get these rocks placed and the signs mounted to them. Everyone really wanted to make sure that we had a tangible memorial to Commissioner Jackson and Commissioner Whitty.” Missing Driver Arrested The driver sought since a May 30 injury traffic crash east of Coos Bay was arrested Tuesday after he turned himself in to Oregon State Police (OSP) at the Coos Bay Area Command office. The suspect came to the OSP office after friends pressured him to contact OSP following news reports that he was sought related to the Thursday night crash off Highway 241 east of Coos Bay. His name and photograph were released to assist the public in helping police locate him. On June 4, 2013 at approximately 4:00 p.m., KEITH LEWIS SMITH, age 32, from Allegany, The Heceta Head Lighthouse is once again open to the public following nearly twoyears of renovation and restoration work north of Florence. came to the OSP office and contacted the lead investigator, Senior Trooper Freddie Dunlap. Following an interview, SMITH was taken into custody and lodged in the Coos County Jail for Misdemeanor Driving While Suspended, Reckless Driving, Hit and Run - Property Damage, and Criminal Mischief in the First Degree. He was also cited for two traffic violations. On May 30, 2013 at approximately 8:29 p.m., a 2003 Chevrolet Blazer sport utility vehicle driven by SMITH was northbound on Highway 241 near milepost 18 when it traveled off the highway, sideswiped a tree, and when down an embankment where it overturned. The vehicle caught fire and was later put out by firefighters. SMITH, who was known to be injured, got out of the vehicle on his own power and left the scene before police and fire personnel arrived. OSP thanks the media and public for their help that led to an arrest in this investigation. Mingus Park Memorial The Coos Bay Police Department is asking for the public’s help with their investigation regarding the damage caused by graffiti to the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial in Mingus Park on or about May 20th, 2013.

If you have any information, the Coos Bay Police Department encourages you to call Coos Stop Crime at 541-2676666 or the Coos Bay Police Department at 541-269-8911. Who killed Stanley? The Coos Bay Police are investigating the shooting death of a white goose at Empire Lakes Park. The goose, named "Stanley" by one of the park's regulars, was found shot on one of the walking paths Thursday, May 30, that surround the lakes between Southwestern Oregon Community College and the city's Empire District. He was known for his ability to approach those who came to the park to feed the birds and at times even let them pet him. Anyone with information can contact the Coos Bay Police Dept. (541) 2698911.

Winners Announced for Expressions West 2013 Exhibition at Coos Art Museum Santiam Junction Accident A Bandon-area man is facing multiple charges following an alcohol-involved serious injury single vehicle crash that occurred overnight at the Santiam Pass junction of Highway 126 and Highway 20. The man and his 5-year old son received non-life threatening injuries for which they are being treated at a Bend hospital. According to Oregon State Police (OSP) Senior Trooper Jason Hansen, on June 8, 2013 at approximately 5:00 a.m., OSP and local emergency responders were notified of a single vehicle crash scene spotted off the highway at the Santiam Junction in Linn County. Upon arrival, emergency responders found an adult male and 5-year old boy with possible serious injuries in a 1994 Ford Explorer sport utility vehicle. After removal from the vehicle, they were taken by ground ambulance to St. Charles Medical Center in Bend for treatment. Initial investigation indicates on Friday evening, June 7, JEREMY LEE WARD, age 31, from Bandon, left his home with his 5-year old son, TROY WARD, in the Ford Explorer. The child's mother told OSP she contacted Coos County Sheriff's Office because she was concerned for her son's welfare and that the father, JEREMY WARD, had been drinking before leaving in the vehicle. Hansen estimates that between 3:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., the vehicle was eastbound when it traveled off the highway without braking and launched off a gravel berm, flying in the air for about 25 yards before crashing down an embankment onto lava rocks. Neither occupant is believed to have been using safety restraints. The crash scene was spotted by a passing motorist. JEREMY WARD was cited by OSP to appear in Linn County Circuit Court on the following charges: * DUII; * Reckless Driving; * Recklessly Endangering Another Person; * Assault in the Third Degree; * Driving While Suspended; * Driving Uninsured; * Failure to Seat Belt a Child Passenger.

Conservation Groups File Suit to Clean Up Coalbank Slough Two conservation groups, one local and one coastwide, Thursday, June 6, filed a civil lawsuit in federal court to enforce the Clean Water Act for the protection of Coalbank Slough and the Coos Bay estuary. The lawsuit filed by Coos Waterkeeper and the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition arises from an alleged failed grading and fill project that reportedly dumped about 1,500 cubic yards of spoils into an important habitat area, and has left as much as 23,000 cubic yards of potentially unstable material at risk of also surging into the slough. Last spring, resident Mike Martin woke in the middle of the night to the sound of rumbling earth and trees crashing down into Coalbank Slough, an arm of Coos Bay in front of Martin’s house. It was not an earthquake, but a landslide that started from the alleged failed landfill on property uphill from Martin’s house and the slough. It's alleged that a contractor had been dumping and grading material excavated from a construction project on the neighboring upslope property. When the fill failed, approximately 1,500 cubic yards of soil, asphalt, pipe, netting, and other construction debris allegedly careened down the hill, across Mike’s Bay Area Weekly June 12, 2013 Pg. 3 property, and into the tidal slough. What debris was not swept down in the landslide remains perched precariously on the hillside above the slough. When Mike Martin saw the extent of the material in the slough, he was concerned about the bay and the fish that live in it. “I realized that if I don’t stand up for the fish and other creatures in the bay, no one else will,” Martin explained. Martin is a member of Coos Waterkeeper, the local arm of the national Waterkeeper Alliance, and sought the organization’s help. Coos Waterkeeper’s mission is to support projects that revitalize our south coast economy, protect and restore water quality and fish populations in the Coos Bay basin through enforcement, field work and community action. Coos Waterkeeper in turn reached out to the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, a regional organization with a 40-year history of working with land use planning and water quality laws to protect coastal resources. Coos Waterkeeper and Oregon Shores, represented by the Crag Law Center, filed the citizen suit after the contractor appeared to have allegedly resisted enforcement attempts by the Department of Environmental Quality. “We have been very supportive of DEQ’s enforcement efforts, but too much time has passed and nothing has been done to clean up the debris or rehabilitate the slough,” says David Petrie, Coos Waterkeeper. “It’s time to hold those responsible for this pollution accountable for their actions.” The lawsuit names the contractor and the property owners as defendants. Coalbank Slough provides habitat for fish and aquatic organisms, including salmonid fish species that are listed on the federal Endangered Species List. Several listed species, including eulachon, Oregon Coast coho salmon, and green sturgeon inhabit the slough. Sediment and other pollution in the water can bury areas that fish use for breeding and foraging, obstruct their migration, and raise water temperatures. Under the Clean Water Act, individual citizens or groups may bring an action against an alleged violator. The citizen suit provision of the Clean Water Act serves to supplement both state and federal government enforcement actions so that all citizens can protect the waters they care about and depend upon. “Estuaries and their State Senator Arnie Roblan (D-Coos Bay) addresses the people who gathered to re-open the Heceta Head Lighthouse north of Florence on Saturday, June 8. The iconic lighthouse, the most photographed on the Oregon Coast, has been closed for two-years for renovation and restoration work. associated sloughs and wetlands are vital coastal ecosystems,” says Phillip Johnson, executive director of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition. “This kind of damage to the estuary, if allowed to continue unabated, harms both the natural and human communities. We’re delighted to work with Coos Waterkeeper to get this situation cleaned up.” North Bend Street Closure Maple Street in North Bend, between Montana and Colorado, will be under construction due to storm pipe repair beginning Monday, June 10, 2013 through Wednesday, June 13, 2013 and estimated to be between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. The city would like to remind everyone to observe all warning signs and be cautious when navigating detour routes via Montana and Oak Street.

MLS #13129083 $365,000 “denitrification” accelerated by 30 to 120 percent, a new international study shows, creating oxygen-poor marine regions and throwing the oceanic nitrogen cycle off balance. By the end of the deglaciation, however, the oceans had adjusted to their new warmer state and the nitrogen cycle had stabilized – though it took several millennia. Recent increases in global warming, thought to be caused by human activities, are raising concerns that denitrification may adversely affect marine environments over the next few hundred years, with potentially significant effects on ocean food webs. Results of the study have been published this week in the journal Nature Geoscience. It was supported by the National Science Foundation. Stranded Whales not always Related Haunting images of whales strewn across beaches turn up all too often in the news. So far, scientists have little hard data to solve the enigma of mass whale strandings, although hypotheses abound. One of those hypotheses — that family bonds play into the stranding phenomenon — is now subject to question, based on genetic analysis of hundreds of beached whales in New Zealand and Australia. The mothers of beached calves, for instance, often were missing entirely from the beach, says cetacean researcher Scott Baker, associate director of the Marine Mammal Institute at Oregon State's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Given whales’ strong kinship bonds, this familial separation could signal some disruption prior to the stranding — a disruption that could, in fact, play a role in triggering the event. “Rescue efforts aimed at ‘refloating’ stranded whales often focus on placing stranded calves with the nearest mature female” on the assumption she’s the mother, Baker says. “Our results suggest that rescuers should be cautious when making difficult welfare decisions … based on this assumption alone.” Depoe Bay Chef to Represent Oregon As ice sheets melted during the deglaciation of the last ice age and global oceans warmed, oceanic Coos Bay, OR – Hoping to repeat oxygen levels decreased and the results of last year’s competition, representatives of Seafood OREGON, the marketing arm of the state’s four industry-funded seafood commodity commissions have selected Chef Justin Wills to represent Oregon at the 10th Annual Great American Seafood Cook -Off (GASCO) in New Orleans, Louisiana on August 3rd.

He is also no stranger to the praise and accolades bestowed on chefs of his caliber, having been a James Beard Foundation semi-finalist for Best Chef in the Northwest in both 2012 and 2013, and voted People’s Choice Best New Chef Northwest in 2010 by Food & Wine Magazine. “Justin has a unique sense of forward thinking creativity when it comes to cooking,” said Chef Gourdet from his kitchen at Departure Restaurant + Lounge in Portland. “He’s a real champion of Oregon products with the culinary skills to do well in New Orleans this summer.” “Oregon is fortunate to have creative and entrepreneurial chefs like Justin Wills helping to raise the profile of our state’s agricultural and seafood industries,” said Governor Kitzhaber. “We’re proud that Chef Wills will be representing Oregon and our abundance of delicious, regionally-sourced foods at the GASCO competition.” Celebrating its 10th year as the ‘Super Bowl of Seafood’, the GASCO is held in conjunction with the Louisiana Foodservice Expo and presented by the Louisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board. Oregon’s entry is being sponsored by Seafood OREGON – the Oregon Albacore, Dungeness Crab, Salmon and Trawl Commissions – four commodity commissions that operate under the umbrella of the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

OR/Cal Border fatality A 31-year old Brookings man died Saturday, June 1, after he attempted to retrieve his Jeep from rolling off a Forest Service mountain road near the Oregon border, but in Del Note Co., CA. Jason L. Roberts was driving with his family on the McGrew Trail shortly after 2 p.m., when his 2013 Rubicon started to slide off the edge of the rock roadway. He was able to stop and get his 29-year old wife and two children, ages 2 and 4, out of the vehicle. However, he got back in the Jeep and attempted to get it back on the road when it lost traction and rolled almost 400-feet down an embankment.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the horizontal quake, which does not produce a tsunami, was located 123 -miles west of Oregon's Bay Area in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of 6.3-miles. It occurred within one of the two fault lines that run parallel with the Oregon Coast. A 2.7magnitude quake also occurred on land, Wednesday, 39-miles east to northeast of Arcata, CA Four Adults Arrested on Drug Charges Assay developed to rapidly detect disease that hurt oyster industry Scientists in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University have developed a new, inexpensive and precise way to detect the toxin secreted by Vibrio tubiashii, a bacterial disease that a few years ago caused millions of dollars in losses to the oyster aquaculture industry in the Pacific Northwest. When perfected and commercialized, the new assay should give oyster growers an early warning system to tell when they have a problem with high levels of this toxin and must take quick steps to address it. Findings were just published in the Journal of Microbiological Methods. V. tubiashii has caused major problems for oyster growers in recent years, especially in 2007 when a major outbreak almost crippled the industry. When the bacteria and the toxin it produces reach unacceptably high levels, they can kill the tiny seed oysters before they have a chance to grow. Fish and Wildlife Commission sets fall chinook and wild coho seasons for coastal rivers The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission Thursday, June 6, approved the upcoming coastal fall salmon seasons, including several fisheries for wild coho, at its meeting in Tigard. For several years now, returns of Oregon coastal wild coho salmon have been strong enough to support limited harvest of wild coho. Under the regulations adopted today, anglers will again be able to harvest wild coho from the Nehalem, Tillamook, Nestucca, Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Siuslaw, Umpqua, Coos and Coquille rivers and Tenmile lakes. New experimental coho fisheries will also occur in Beaver Cr. (Lincoln Co.) and Floras Cr. (Curry Co.). Most begin on Sept. 15 and continue through November, with some exceptions. Also new for 2013 are plans to conduct some coho fisheries based on conservative bag limits and seasons Black-tailed deer fawn. Does will leave fawns alone for extended periods of time—so mom can feed and not draw attention to her newborn. Leave fawns and other young wildlife alone. but without numeric targets or “quotas.” “Based on our experiences with the wild coho fisheries in recent years, we’re confident we can structure some fisheries based on conservative season dates and bag limits, while remaining well within the ESA and conservation needs for wild coho,” said Chris Kern, ODFW ocean salmon manager. Some coho fisheries will remain quota-driven, and may close before the scheduled end date if the quotas are met earlier than expected. All proposed coho fisheries must be reviewed and approved by NOAA. The Commission also approved seasons for fall chinook that are very similar to 2012. Bag limits and area closures will be managed under permanent regulations for most South Coast rivers. On North Coast Rivers the daily bag limit of non fin-clipped chinook also will be two. However, because returns to some North Coast rivers continue to lag, the recent 10 fish seasonal aggregate limit will continue. A complete description of the 2013 coastal salmon seasons, including open areas and wild coho quotas (as applicable), can be found on the ODFW website. The Commission also approved $1,019,164 in funding for eight restoration and 15 enhancement projects recommended by the Fish Restoration and Enhancement Board. Among the projects approved is the continued funding of creel surveys to support the coastal wild coho fisheries. The Commission also re-adopted the Columbia River fish management and reform rules it adopted in December 2012. These rules modify non-tribal commercial and recreational fisheries in the Columbia River and its tributaries and establish management measures for future fisheries. The Commission revisited the rules in order to con- Coney Station sider updated fiscal information, provide additional time for public input and address alleged deficiencies in either the process or economic analysis. Among the measures re-adopted are the barbless hook requirement on the Columbia River and selected tributaries, and the closure of all sturgeon retention on the Columbia River below Bonneville dam, the Willamette River and in all coastal waters beginning Jan. 1, 2014. Stealing from OSP A 37-year old evidence technician for the Oregon State Police was arrested in northeast Oregon on charges of Theft in the First Degree and Official Misconduct in the First Degree for allegedly stealing from the evidence room at the Newport Area Command Office on the Central Oregon Coast. Paula Diane Bell was arraigned Thursday, June 6, in a Lincoln County Court. An investigation that began Wednesday, June 5, revealed an undisclosed amount of cash was missing from the evidence room that seem disheveled and sealed packages opened.
