Police Chief Search
By Evan Kramer
The Port Orford City Council met on
Thursday night, May 21 two days after
the passing of the Police Levy. Mayor
Pro Tem Jim Auborn and councilors David Smith, Caroline Clancy, Scott Luhr,
Tim Pogwizd, Bill McArdle, and John
Hewitt were all present for the short
meeting. There were no citizens concerns so the council jumped into departmental reports.
The council was particularly pleased
with Public Works Director Allan Wagner’s public works report and the way
he is handling the job. The water loss
rate for the month of April was 44.5%;
a decrease over previous months. The
department produced 4.051 million gallons of water at the treatment plant and
metered 2.244 million gallons. Councilor Luhr led the council and public in
a round of applause for Wagner over his
and the department’s efforts with Allan
making sure to give credit to his crew.
Chamber of Commerce president David Smith reported that the Chamber is
working on a new brochure promoting
the area and he is working with help
from councilor Pogwizd and Jeff MacFarlane.

Port Commission member and council
liaison to the Port Scott Luhr reported
on Oregon House Bill 3013 – the funding bill for Marine Reserves which at
this point is projected to provide $1
million for the reserves if it becomes
law. Watershed liaison Bill McArdle reported that progress is again being made
on the greenway project and also on fire
suppression for the watershed. He suggested bringing Joanne Ruoff to next
month’s meeting to discuss the greenway project.
Both councilor Luhr and Caroline Clancy reported that the past weekend over
a period of five days there had been a
massive die off of baby crabs at Dock
Beach, a popular dog walking spot.
They questioned what caused the die off
but so far no one knows what happened.
If you understand what happened contact them at city hall.
The council discussed Resolution 200912; a Resolution of the council increasing the connection fees for new water
installations. The current cost for installing a new water meter is $200. The
resolution proposed to increase the fee
to $1,300 for a three quarter inch standard water connection; $1,524 for a
one inch service; and for those services
above one inch $1,700 down payment
with the remainder of the costs billed

to the contractor when the water connection is completed. Allan Wagner
explained there was a shortfall in fees
with the current rate. Councilor Luhr
wanted to raise the new fees even higher
and said the city should make a profit on
the connection with the department run
more like a business. The main purpose
of the Resolution was to make sure the
city recovers its costs when installing
water connections. The council voted
4-2 on David Smith’s motion to adopt
the Resolution with Luhr and Clancy
voting no saying they wanted higher
connection fees and Smith, Hewitt,
Pogwizd and McArdle voting yes. The
council will revisit this issue and make
sure the city is recouping its full costs
with the new fees.
The council discussed contributing
funds to the Port of Port Orford to fund
a lobbyist for the new cannery and administrative buildings at the Port. The
lobbyist will participate through the
Oregon Way program which is helping lead the way for a new cannery
building. This is money from the federal government related to the stimulus
program to create jobs. Scott Luhr explained the Port is trying to replace the
old cannery building and also build an
additional building that would house the

Port offices, POORT offices and a new
space for Griff’s Restaurant. If this all
comes about the building currently occupied by Griff’s would be raised and
a fish cleaning station built in that location. Luhr said the Port was asking for a
contribution of $1,000 toward the cost
of hiring Cheryl Coon as a lobbyist for
the project. The Port, Curry County,
and the Chamber of Commerce have all
contributed to the hiring of the lobbyist with POORT agreeing to pay for her
travel expenses. Luhr will be attending
a meeting in Salem on May 28 where
he will present the Port’s case for the
$9.7 million grant for the project. As he
put it they are going to Salem to “sell”
the project. Another leg in this project
would be a Marine Interpretive Center
at Battle Rock Park at the Visitor Center
which would become a two story building to house the Interpretive Center.
Luhr explained the key element in getting this grant is jobs and job retention
at the Port. David Smith asked if the city

could donate money to a lobbyist and
was told by city attorney Shala McKenzie Kudlac no but they could give the
money to the Port. David Smith made
a motion for the City to give $1,000 to
the Port for the Oregon Way project and
it passed 5-0 with Luhr abstaining. The
council also directed city administrator
Mike Murphy to write a letter of support
for the project.
Councilor Hewitt offered a motion to
pass the consent calendar which included approved Griff’s OLCC application
for off premises beer and wine sales and
approving the OLCC renewals for the
businesses in town selling alcohol and
it passed.
The council fresh from a convincing
victory for the police levy local option
tax took the first step in hiring a new
police chief. They discussed whether to
hire a full time or part time chief with
all but Caroline Clancy in favor of a full
time police chief. One point that swayed
the council is they felt a part time chief
would only have time for office work
and they want the new police chief out

patrolling part time as well and being
visible. Mike Murphy was instructed
to begin advertising for a full time police chief but be open minded if they do
find a person who wants the job but not
full time. The council recently passed
the City’s 2009-10 budget and included
funds for a full time police chief.
Mike Murphy reminded one and all
about the upcoming household hazardous waste clean up days in Port Orford.
They will be held on Friday and Saturday, June 19 and 20, from 11:00am to
2:00pm tentatively set to be held on Idaho Street between Eighteenth and Nineteenth. June 19 date is for businesses
only and June 20 is for households and
is free to homeowners. You may bring in
all manners of hazardous waste from old
paint, gasoline and diesel fuel, batteries,
fluorescent lights and pesticides. There
will also be a mercury thermometer
exchange where you bring in your old
mercury thermometer and you will be
given a brand new digital thermometer.
Mark your calendars as these household
hazardous waste clean up days occur infrequently.

Election Wrap Up
By Evan Kramer
The votes are counted and in North
Curry County the results were eagerly
anticipated.
Port Orford residents overwhelmingly
approved passage of the local option
police tax levy by a 61.15% to 38.95%
margin with 266 yes votes and 169 no
votes. This is almost a complete reversal of the results from the November
2008 police levy election when it was
defeated by a 61-39% margin. This
means there will be a police department
in Port Orford’s future for the next five
years though the levy was for $10,000
less than the current one which expires
on June 30, 2009.
The Port Orford Rural Fire District
board had three contested races including one very unusual one. Ken Fliszar
beat Dave Bassett for Position #2 by a
vote of 135 to 123 or 51.33% to 46.77%.
Brice Wagner beat Dennis Woodard for
Position #4 by a margin of 55.26% to
40.13% with Wagner garnering the most
votes of any candidate with 168 votes to
Woodard’s 122. In Position #3 incumbent board member Ed Tennant was de-

feated by a write-in campaign by local
rancher Joe Marsh. The percentage going to the write-ins was 57.79% or 167
votes while Tennant gathered 40.13%
or 122 votes. Marsh’s name wasn’t on
the ballot but he is a lifetime resident of
the Elk River community and very well
known. It is very unusual for a write-in
candidate to win a race but it happened
in Port Orford. As of Tuesday, May
26 the results for this write-in election
winner are still unofficial according to
Connie Higgins with the County Elections Department. The Elections Division will convene the write-in board on
Wednesday, May 27, and certify the results and make them official soon.
The Port Orford Rural Fire District
Board will consist of Edna Auld, Marie
Van Aart, Ken Fliszar, Brice Wagner
and Joe Marsh after July 1 of this year.
SOLV Project
A big ‘thank you’ to the volunteers
that helped the Port Orford Parks
Commission Brush and Weed Removal
Event at Pinehurst & Old Mill Pond on
Saturday, May 16th! The weather was
perfect for the 10 volunteers as they
enjoyed water and snacks courtesy
of Ray’s Food Place. Each volunteer
received a free tote bag and a new pair
of gloves provided by SOLV for helping
out at the event. Everyone worked
hard and fortunately there were only
sore muscles and few minor scratches.
Volunteers were Austin Benavidez, Jim
Billings, Caroline Clancy, Ken Gibson,
Briana Goodwin, Grover Hatcher, Ken
Hughes, Mark Murray, John Sovereign
and Julie Sholes.
And here’s to those that worked behind
the scenes to make this event a success:
Ray’s Food Place for donating water and
snacks, Curry Transfer and Recycling
for waiving disposal fees, Allan Wagner
for providing the City’s dump truck,
Mark Murray and Austin Benavidez
for ensuring the donated refreshements
were available, and Briana Goodwin for
providing First Aid expertise.
The Parks will be receiving 10 donated
Rhododendrons from Mike Carpenter
and possibly some Azaleas from another
donor in the future to add in between the
established mature trees on the west end
of the pond next to the parking lot.

2009 Grand Marshal
alike to share in the continuing magic of
this place called Port Orford.
Letter to the Editor,
Maralyn Moore is an accomplished
woman in her own right. A native of
Vermont, she earned a B.A. from Colby
College in Maine, and an MBA from the
University of Denver. She is the owner
of a business called CIP Information
Service which serves three states.
To all the patrons of the Port Orford Rural Fire Protection District. I thank you
for your consideration and votes in this
It is with delight and pleasure we name
Ms. Maralyn Moore our Grand Marshal
for 2009.
Maralyn is the widow of John Quick.
John is a direct descendant of William
Tichenor, founding father of Port Orford
and the author of Fool’s Hill.
Maralyn bestowed a generous gift to
this community when she gave her kind
permission for our own Theatre 101 to
adapt John’s book into a play.
John and Maralyn were married almost
twenty years when he died in 2001.
Fool’s Hill is a wonderful, thought provoking peek into Port Orford’s recent
past. Maralyn’s gracious gesture enables
us to bring another dimension to this fascinating look backwards. It’s a chance to
share this historical legacy with our entire community. Indeed, it is difficult for
this writer to put into words the incredible journey and relationships that have
occurred in the months of research and
preparation for this play. One can only
imagine the memories that may surface
at the end of each performance for those
who have lived here most of their lives.
It’s a rare opportunity for old and young
Now we will have the pleasure of her
company once again as we honor her on
this 2009 Jubilee.
Thank You Voters
Rural Fire District Election.
In sincere appreciation,

KOA Wins Awards
“We did not win these awards, we
earned these awards with hard work and
lots of elbow grease” says owner, Max
Meeks. The Bandon/Port Orford KOA,
Page 5
located 16 miles south of Bandon, has
been notified by the KOA home office
in Billings, Montana that they have received not only the President’s Award
(awarded for inspection totals), but
also the coveted Founder’s Award. The
Founder’s Award is based on customer
satisfaction, and only two KOA’s in Oregon received this award.
In addition to these two awards, they
have been notified by Trailer Life (Good
Sam Club) that they have received the
“Best of the Best” award for placing in
the top 300 of more than 12,000 campgrounds in the network.
“We have spent 23 years at this KOA
building a facility that has resort amenities like wifi, pool, hot tub, and half
acre playground, while keeping the
campground atmosphere where families
can enjoy s’mores around the campfire”
says wife, Claudia Meeks. “We raised
our own children on the campground,
and they have met kids from all over the
world. Our goal has been to add something each year to the park. Last summer the Big Dog concession stand (with
char broiled burgers, fish and chips, and
chowder) took residence at the park.
Having food available at the park was
an instant hit with campers and locals - it
was a win/win for everybody involved”.
Asked about plans for this year the response was “customer service is always
our number one goal. Besides that we
will be building two camping lodges.”

Purely Voice
“Purely Voice” a seven member a cappella vocal ensemble from Gold Beach
headline the first 2009 Mildred Hill
Concert at Zion Lutheran Church in
Port Orford, Sunday June 21 at 6:00pm.
“Kammeroque Trio” of flute, oboe and
harpsichord will open the program with
a set of baroque masterpieces. $10 tickets available from Downtown Fun Zone,
ConcertTickets@ZionLutheranPortOrford.org and at the door, with youth 18
and under free.
“Create In Me a Clean Heart, O God”
from the program section of four songs
of faith will be followed by four songs
on Joy such as “You Are The New Day.”
Following intermission, the sections are
Comfort as in “I’m going Home,” Love
as in “If I Loved You” from Carousel,
and Story including “Who’ll Be A Witness.” The entire vocal program includes 18 songs with harmony, rhythm
and memorable melody with no keyboard accompaniment.
Four of the group began singing together and added three more singers by
acquaintance and informal audition, to
achieve their high standard of perfor-
mance. Mildred Hill Concerts is delighted to bring this group to Port Orford for
a full blown concert. If you love vocal
music, this concert is for you.
Donna Roselius and Suzanne Monks
bring their years of accomplished performance on flute and oboe with harpsichord accompaniment to an opening
set of baroque music from the likes of
Telemann and Mozart. Donna for many
years hosted the informal monthly kammeroque gatherings, with flute, recorder
and strings, and other instruments. Now,
the trio enters formal performance again
to open this enticing concert.
Mildred Hill Concerts offers four performances each year to fill the niche for
somewhat classical repertoire not filled
by Arts Council events or Theatre 101.
These concerts are backed by a generous bequest from the Hill family in Mildred’s memory.

Alden Wayne Boice
Alden Wayne Boice, 81 was born in
Bandon March 25, 1928 to Allen H.
Boice and Carrie Guerin Boice, and
died in Brookings May 22, 2009. Alden
was the last of their twelve children. He
joined five brothers and six sisters when
he and his mother were brought home
to Langlois.
Alden attended school in Langlois and
when he was just 17 he quit high school
to join the U. S. Marines in World War
II. After spending two years in the Marine Corps, he returned to Langlois and
received his diploma from Langlois
High School. He worked in the logging
industry for N.S.P. and also Griffey &
Laird. With his brother Jerry Boice
and Mort Strain they formed their own
B.B.S. logging company.
He married Frances Cornoyer of Bandon on November 5, 1948. She preceded him in death in 1997. Their daughter.
Trudy died in 1968.
He was always interested in boats and
racing, and built his first wooden boat
in the Boice barn in Langlois. He raced
small boats and then hydroplanes winning many races including the Marathon
from Gold Beach to Agness setting a record at the time.
His interest in boat building culminated
in his building aluminum boats which
he designed to be capable of running
over the riffles of Rogue River at very
high speeds, and in extremely shallow
water. He worked with the Berkeley Jet
Co. and perfected the Boice Built Boats
using the Berkeley Jets. He built the
“Klamath Queen” with a capacity for
72 passengers, which his brother Court
piloted on the Klamath. Alden’s favorite
boat was the “Trudy D”.
He designed the boats his brother Jerry used in Jerry’s Jet Boat business on
Rogue River. In 1972, Alden and Bill
McNair bought Jerry’s Jet Boat passenger business. In 1984 Alden sold out his

interest to McNair and had a few years
not knowing what to do. Then in 1988
he took a job with the U. S. Forest Service. They were building trails along
the Rogue and they needed bridges
built to span the creeks. Alden designed
and built twelve bridges and worked
with high school and college kids who
learned a great deal from him.
When he finally quit the Forest Service,
he and Frances would go south to the
desert and spend winters there. One of
his greatest thrills was to see the ‘Blue
Angels’ perform and even to meet them
personally.
Alden was always proud of his work
and took pride in doing things right. His
work ethic was beyond reproach, as was
his honesty, self reliance and integrity.
He was a true patriot and was proud of
his family and his country.
He started working at Cedar Bend Golf
Course and spent 18 years there as their
greens keeper. On Dec. 5, 1998 he married Kathy Harrington and together they
worked at the golf course.
He is survived by his wife Kathy;
daughter Aldene McCaw of Lebanon;
sons, Greg Boice and wife Maryann
and Bill Boice and his wife Bobbie of
Gold Beach; step-daughter Lisa Cox
and her husband Tom Cox and two sons;
grandsons, Rich Boice, Chris Boice, Jed
Boice and Zack Boice; granddaughters,
Nicole, Sheena, Sarah, and Savannah,
and numerous great grand children..
Also surviving are sisters, Dora Autry of Gold Beach and Mary Capps of
Bandon; and brother, Allen H. Boice
now living in Brookings. Four brothers
preceded him in death: Howard, Fred,
Court, and Jerry and also four sisters:
Edna Baker, Ada Campbell, Hilda Auer
and Alma Deets.
Services will be held at 11:00am
Wednesday, May 27 at Docia Sweet
Hall on the Curry County Fairgrounds
in Gold Beach. Pastor Doug Jamieson
will officiate. Interment will follow at
Rogue River Cemetery in Gold Beach.

Letter to the Editor,
Gary Carter’s well-done article on local
gardeners was unintentionally misleading as he reported on the Kincaid vegetable garden. Since I was the one he
interviewed, the article came off as if I
was the one and only one making any
effort toward our garden. Since Dave
does the hard work of tilling; the back
breaking seed-by-seed planting, and
then keeps it all hoed, I barely deserve
a mention. I water, pick, can and cook,
but it is definitely a joint effort. Credit
where credit is due...
Lee Kincaid
Letter to the Editor,
Thank you for voting to continue, at a
lower rate, the police levy for the City
of Port Orford. We can now reconstitute our police department and provide
the kind of police protection that our
citizens desire. Traffic enforcement on
Highway 101, business and neighborhood patrols, emergency response coverage, coordination with fire and ambulance, our highly regarded reserve program, and other public safety services
will continue and can even improve.

Sing Your Heart Out!
There are some folks at the Senior Center who would like to get a sing-a-long
group going like they had years ago and
they are looking for interested men and
women to join them. You don’t even
have to have a great singing voice; they
just want to have fun. The group meets
on Tuesdays at 1:00pm at the Senior
Center but you don’t have to be senior
or a member of the Center. Come and
exercise your singing muscles! They are
also looking for a couple of piano players to accompany their sing-a-longs so
if that is your talent, please get in touch
with Marcella Gupton at 332-0215 for
more information.
