so come early and enjoy the summer

They do a great job and without the fire

CCEC Annual Meeting
Employees of Coos-Curry Electric
Cooperative, Inc. (CCEC) are in the
final stages of preparing for the 72nd
annual meeting of the membership. This
year’s annual meeting, to be held July
17th at the Event Center on the Beach/
Fairgrounds in Gold Beach, promises to
be an educational and fun-filled event
for the entire family.
“Be Prepared” is the theme with a focus
on disaster and emergency preparedness.
Local law enforcement, volunteer
firefighters, Curry County’s Emergency
Planning department, Curry Health
Network, Curry County Home Health
and Hospice and Cal-Ore Life Flight
will be on hand to educate members
about the importance of being prepared.
The first 300 members through the door
will receive a “Be Prepared” bag and
vendors will provide some items for the
bags along with information on other
items that should be added to the bag to
ensure members have what they need to
survive a disaster or emergency.
In addition to the Lions health screening
van where members may have their
sight, hearing and blood pressure
checked, the Red Cross will be holding
a blood donation drive. Friends of the
Langlois Library will have a used book
sale with 10 percent of the proceeds
being donated to the cooperative’s
Round Up program to help less fortunate
members pay their electric bills. CCEC
employees are already gathering their
used books to donate to the library
sale. Members wishing to donate books
for the sale may drop them off at the
cooperative’s Port Orford office.
The board of directors will hold a
short business meeting to discuss the
cooperative’s financial condition and

Ophir Rest Area Open
The Ophir Rest Area which has been
closed since December of 2009 is
now open according to State Park’s
area manager Frank Eckley. The Parks
Department received a Federal Stimulus
grant to upgrade the bathrooms at the
Ophir Rest Area and the contractor has
finished his work after a long delay.
The fixtures were upgraded to ADA
compliant and are made of stainless
steel and the building was painted.
This Rest Area offers convenient beach
access as well as bathrooms, parking
area and picnic benches.

Free the Trees
“Free the trees”, said the youngsters
in Cathy Boden’s wetlands project.
7th graders Millie Redding, Jasmine
Hardcastle, Emily Brokaw and 5th
grader Cameron Hickey gave a
presentation at Rotary on how they have
saved the life of the wetlands behind
Driftwood School.
For the past year, Cathy’s elementary
students have dug out invasive weeds
around trees freeing the willows
from ivy and cleared out nooks for
educational projects and walking trails.
5th grader Cameron Hickey told how
the ivy had pulled down an octopus tree
but now it is growing, stable and “a good
place to read.” Their wetland project
has been a labor of love and they are so
proud to have made it a better place to
go after school. They have also learned
the importance of wetlands in filtering
pollution and providing a healthy
environment for birds and animals.
The children enjoy the clear stream
and built “awesome tunnels” through
blackberries. They are giving little tours
and dream of camping all night this
summer. The students in Mr. Betz, Mrs.
Heckard and Mrs. Weinblatt’s classes
made nature maps and detailed botanical
drawings of closely observed plants.
They have made a huge difference.
Cathy Boden is a Watershed Education
Specialist for the Department of
Education and Outreach.

Letter to the Editor,
Great! That’s more like it folks. When
people start writing letters that means
they are starting to actually think about
things. It’s too bad one of our papers has
chosen to print only one side of a topic.
Let’s try to better define our positions
though. Remember that extremism
seldom generates a positive result.
I find the letters praising the new
development to be especially interesting.
They go so far as to specifically
compliment each other by name.
The problem is that they essentially
say nothing. We are all in favor of a
successful business and any good it
may do for our town. We are also all
in favor of motherhood, apple pie, and
patriotism etc. They remind me of the
high school cheerleaders. . . pom poms,
short skirts and boundless enthusiasm.
Some of them even knew what sport
was being played. The big problem
here, Folks, is that their letters are all
“me”,”me”, “me”, and “he”, “he”, “he”,
and no “we”, “we”, “we”. “Me” is them
and “he” is the developer and “we” is
us, the town. “Me” and “he” will do
alright because their businesses are
not critically “site specific”. “We” will
not do alright because Battle Rock and
it’s “highest use “businesses are “site
specific”. When you mix up site use in
this way there always is a net loss and
in this case that net loser is Port Orford.
Some of you please put this on your
refrigerator door and we will continue.
Respectfully,
Jim Hajek
Robert “Buck” Dezern

Sign-up for a Garden Bed.
After many delays caused by rainy
weather, the Rotary First Harvest
Community Garden is finally nearing
completion. Rotarian’s and others
interested in the project have been
working fervently on available dry days
to get things ready for growing fresh
vegetables in our community. The land
has been cleared, the fencing is in place
and the twenty beds have been built.
“This week,” said Rotary First Harvest
Chairman Bill McArdle, “water lines
will be run and compost and topsoil
will be added to the beds ready for Port
Orford’s gardeners to plant.”
A majority of the twenty beds have
already been reserved but a few remain
and interested gardeners are invited to
come to the next sign up at 5:00 pm,
Wednesday, June 16, at St. Johns
Catholic Church.
The Rotary Community Garden is a
project of the Rotary Club of Port Orford
but beds will be available for anyone in
the community. Gardeners will “rent”
the 8 ft x 4 ft x 16 inch beds for $10 for
the full season and will raise whatever
crops they want. However, each gardener
will be encouraged to give a portion of
their vegetable production to Common
Good for distribution. “The cleared
area is large enough for approximately
fifty beds,” said McArdle, “but we are
starting this year with just twenty beds
until we better understand the needs of
the community.”
Live Music for Dad
King of the Road, Route 66, I Walk the
Line and Ain’t Misbehavin’ are a few of
the tunes folksinger Steve Montana will
be performing this Sunday from noon
until 2:00pm at the Siren’s Café in Port
Orford. Montana plays a 5 string banjo,
acoustic guitar and he says, “I’ll sing
favorite songs for the guys, including
tunes by Willie Nelson, Hank Williams,
Johnny Cash, the Kingston Trio and
some bluegrass and blues to boot.”

A big Thank You to all of you who
came out Saturday morning and helped
with the Highway 101 Clean up &
Beautification! There were a little over
twenty volunteers mowing, weed
eating, weeding in the sidewalk cracks,
grass blowing and painting curbs. It was
a fantastic start. More paint is needed to
finish the yellow curbs and thank you
to True Value for the paint and other
donations. A big thank you to those who
sacrificed your personal equipment to
spruce up main street and other arteries
throughout our community. We are
planning on finishing up on the 26th

many of you have shown community

Thank you again for your efforts to

Sheriff Department News
by Sheriff John Bishop
On June 8, 2010, Curry County Sheriff’s
Parole and Probation arrested Gary
Caughey for violations of his release
from Prison. Caughey was transported
to the Curry County Jail and the Oregon
Parole Board was contacted.
With these violations the Sheriff has
asked the Parole Board to deem Caughey
a Predatory Sex Offender so that law
enforcement has greater authority to
release information for public safety.
The Sheriff has also asked the Parole
Board to revoke Caughey’s Parole and
send him back to prison to finish the
remainder of his sentence.
These violations did not include any
harm to individuals in Curry County
and were violations discovered by
investigative work conducted by Parole
and Probation Deputy Kris Bishop.
While a few of these violations were
discovered while Caughey was living in
Curry County, the Oregon Department
of Corrections has been notified that
Caughey had been deceitful to the prison
authorities and has acted in a manner
which may have violated Oregon State
Statute, while he was while incarcerated.
Due to Oregon State Statute and an
ongoing investigation we are unable to
release what these violations are in this
press release.
The Oregon State Parole Board and the
Oregon Department of Corrections are
assisting in this investigation. Curry
County Parole and Probation Deputies
Kris Bishop, and Dennis Shannon have
worked tirelessly with law enforcement
since Caughey moved to Curry County
and have spent a significant amount of
time supervising Caughey making sure
he obeyed his stipulated conditions of
release and when it was found he had
not he was immediately arrested.
On another note, Search and Rescue
members, from Curry County have
been asked to assist the search for the
7 year old Kyron Richard Horman who
went missing from Skyline Elementary
School in Portland after a science
fair on June 4. CORSAR members
from Southern Oregon are working in
conjunction with Multnomah county
helping relieve their Search and Rescue
members who have been searching for
the past seven days.
Book Signing Sunday
San Francisco author Ann Parker will
discuss and sign copies of her mystery
novels at 3:00pm, Sunday, June 20
at Gold Beach Books in Gold Beach.
Parker will focus her talk on her latest
mystery, Leaden Skies, the third
installment in her “Silver Rush” series
of historical mysteries.
Leaden Skies, a finalist for the Colorado
book award, involves Ulysses S. Grant’s
interest in a boomtown silver mine, and
the ensuing violent intrigue. Publisher’s

Weekly calls it “a gripping tale of love,
greed and murder in the Old West.”
The preceding installment, Iron Ties,
sees a small town erupt into violence
as resistance to the new railroad line
ignites controversy.
With degrees in Physics and English
Literature, Parker is a science writer by
day, authoring pieces on solar energy
technology, chilled beam systems
and human capital strategies. In the
evenings, however, she imagines and
pens tales about the old West. Parker’s
grandfather was a “gandy dancer”
on the Colorado railroads and her
Leadville, Colorado ancestors were part
of the silver rush in the 1880’s, which
has helped instill in Parker a desire for
authenticity and realism in her stories.
Before signing copies of her books,
Parker will discuss how she researches
the old west, and she’ll relay stories
about historic small towns, and other
archives of the western frontier. The
event is co-sponsored by Gold Beach
Books and the Ashland Mystery group.
Those unable to attend may pre-order
signed copies of Leaden Skies, or any
of Parker’s other works, by telephoning

Main Street Revitalization Report
Letter to the Editor,
The Studleys, a Branding Axe, and
the rest of the story…A Branding Axe
of the Studley brand, hand made by a
blacksmith in the thirties was found
under my house on Port Orford Loop
Road that the Studley family had built
in 1939. I put out a call a couple of
weeks ago to see if anyone knew how
to reach the Studleys and thanks to
Dolores Mayea; Jerry Studley was
contacted, and last Friday morning he
called me and the Axe is on its way to
Washington State. Jerry tells me that he
is passing the Axe on to his eldest son
and the family is thrilled to have it as a
piece of their family history. Jerry told
me he used his father’s Branding Axe
when he was a young man. In return I
received a wealth of information on the
construction and trials and tribulations
of building construction in the thirties
and forties here in Port Orford. It’s an
amazing story. Thanks again Dolores for
your help.

Seeking Host Families
Port Orford-Langlois 2CJ Schools are
seeking host families for the AYUSA
Global Youth Exchange Program.
There are currently no less than five
qualified students seeking housing in
our District, all of which are outstanding
in every way. Hosting an AYUSA
exchange student is the perfect way to
share your culture and traditions while
experiencing and welcoming those from
another country.
As an AYUSA Host Family, your
financial responsibility is minimal.
Your exchange son or daughter asks
New Owners & Mechanics
Corner of Hwy 101 & 18th St.
Office Hours:
7 AM to 5:30 PM
Monday — Thursday
Closed Fridays and
Holidays.
For more information call
any CCEC office and ask for
extension 218 or contact us
through our website at
www.ccec.coop
that you provide three meals a day and
a bedroom (either private or shared)
with a host sibling of the same gender.
Families are simply asked to provide a
safe, warm, and nurturing environment
while sharing their American culture
with their student. The benefits of
hosting an exchange student are many.
Via hosting a student you are:
Exposing your family to a new culture
and language;
Growing closer as a family as you help
the exchange student to learn about your
town and area;
Experiencing the joys of having a new
family member to love;
Practicing hospitality and generosity
with your own family;
Developing a relationship with a foreign
teenager that may last for years to come;
Supporting diversity and cross-cultural
understanding in your own home;
Giving back to your community;
Helping to make a difference in the
world.

$ Tune-ups $ Tire Repair

Let us help you with your
automotive needs
There is no such thing as a “typical”
AYUSA Host Family. Whether you
live in a rural or an urban community,
and regardless of the shape and size
of your family, you are invited to host
an AYUSA exchange student. Retired
couples may enjoy the experiences of
hosting a teenager for a school year.
Families with children of any age will
seek the benefits of bonding with a
youth from a different culture. We
believe that all families can benefit from
participating in cultural exchange by
hosting an AYUSA exchange student.
2CJ invites you to welcome a young
person from another country to your
own home and community. If interested,
Regional Director of the AYUSA
program, Kari Owens, is available to
answer any questions you might have
before undertaking such a worthwhile
endeavor.
Kari may be reached at owens.kari@
gmail.com or via phone by calling 541396-5939.

illegal fireworks fining offenders up to
$500 per violation including possession
of illegal fireworks and endangering life
and property. Offenders may also be
arrested. Any fireworks causing damage
or misuse of fireworks carries a liability
for the offender, who may be required to
pay for resulting fire or other damage.
Parents are liable for fireworks-caused
damage by their children. Costs may
include assessed fines as well as the cost
of suppressing fireworks-caused fires.
Country Swing
Master guitarist Rapp Brush will offer
a free concert at Gold Beach Books on
Saturday, June 19 at 7:00pm. Rapp’s
music is a blend of country, jazz and
blues, which he calls “country swing.”
Well known for his rapport with
audiences during performances, Rapp
is a veteran performer at “honky-tonk”
venues around the country since the
1960’s, which included opening act
appearances for country stars Farron
Young, Moe Brandy and Bobby Bare.
Rapp is an expert at most guitar makes
and styles; he will be playing his vintage
Gibson on Saturday, among other
instruments.
The bookstore is located at Pacific
Highway 101 and First Street in Gold
Beach. Seating is limited, so patrons are
advised to arrive early.
