Volunteers make Christmas in July possible BY STEVE LINDSLEY The Umpqua Post
By Steve Lindsley, The Umpqua Post
Reedsport City Manager Jonathan Wright, who is also a general contractor, gives some painting tips to members of Westminster Presbyterian Church from Salem. The youth group came to Reedsport to help during Christmas in July and, in fact, did projects the entire week they were here.
Dozens of volunteers on dozens of projects became a helpful hoard Saturday for the annual Christmas in July volunteer effort. The day kicked off with a volunteer breakfast at St. John The Apostle Catholic Church. Reedsport City Manager Jonathan Wright acted as emcee for Pastor Allen Chaney, who could not be there. Large posters on the wall gave the projects and their location and volunteers were asked to sign up. Projects included everything from weeding, to pulling up stumps, putting up siding, painting and even a porch repair. The group’s website explained the purpose: “Our mission is to preserve and revitalize houses and
our community, assuring that lowincome homeowners, from the elderly and disabled to families with children, live in warmth, safety, and independence. In partnership with communities, our goal is to make a sustainable impact.” One project was designated in recognition of Stan Bates, who started Christmas in July. Bates died May 31 at the age of 91. “There’s a memorial fund set up for him at Umpqua (Bank),” Wright told the assembled crowd. “If anybody knows anybody that would like to contribute to Christmas is July, those funds can be deposited at Umpqua Bank.” Wright ticked off the list of people to thank for the day-long effort to assist senior and disabled people in the area. “I want to thank the Eagles

All told, between Kitty’s effort, and the spaghetti feed and auction, (we) raised almost $6,000.” The Reedsport/Winchester Bay Chamber of Commerce donated $1,000, the Reedsport United Presbyterian Church donated $500 and the United Fund donated $350. Nick and Gretchen McNeff, and ACE Hardware, gave a donation of $500, as well as taking 20 percent off all purchases for the various projects. Mailed-in donations tallied over $1,000.

Youth group from Salem church was here to do projects A book sale at Lower Umpqua Hospital also benefited Christmas in July. Projects were funded by Ron Eberlein and the Lutheran Thrivent Fund and other groups adopted projects: city of Reedsport staff, the Reedsport Police Department, the Church of God and the Presbyterian Church. A youth group from Westminster Presbyterian Church of Salem worked through the week on projects, including painting at Henderson Park in downtown Reedsport. The group’s leader, Victoria School, is a former Reedsport resident. This is the second year the group has helped with Christmas in July.
The event’s planning committee consisted of Sharon Thompson, Mike Knight, Debbie Dreyer, Diane Essig, Cindy Farber, Frank Paula, Tom and Eva Clarke, Bernie Sabblut, Carol Devine, Wright, Reedsport Police Chief Duane Wisehart and Ron Kresky. Umpqua Bank donated drinking water for volunteers. Bill Knerr built a website for the event: http://cij.weebly.com. Of course, the event couldn’t happen without the people doing the work. “Most importantly,” Wright said, “thank you to every one of our volunteers here today. Christmas in July doesn’t happen with you. We sure appreciate each and every one of you. Now that the day is over, there will be a debriefing on the event Aug. 19.

The city of Reedsport will hold a town hall from 7-9 p.m. July 24 to talk about levee certification. The date was set during the City Council’s meeting Monday, July 7. “To discuss the regulations and requirements for levee certification, we have invited an expert panel from all over the state to attend … so you’ll be hearing the information from the experts that are actually providing that information to the city,” City Manager Jonathan Wright told the council.
Among the agencies invited to attend are a levee expert from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, representatives from the offices of U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley and a representative of the U.S. Forest Service. Wright said the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was invited to send a representative, but he hadn’t yet heard from the agency. “We’ve also invited people that have either gone through the levee certification process or are
currently undergoing the process,” he said, “so we can also get their perspective as well. “ Wright said he asked the city manager from MiltonFreewater and a representative of the Multnomah County Levee District to attend. Both are involved with levee certification. City officials hope to get an assessment of the levee around the downtown area to allow for flood insurance rates for business owners, and the city, to remain relatively low. If the levee is not certified, it’s expected that
flood insurance rates will skyrocket. “There will be time to ask questions,” Wright said of the town hall, “and, hopefully, have them answered there. If we can’t answer them then we’re going to write them down and get back to the people who posted those questions.” Wright admits the twohour meeting may seem long. “We have a lot of information,” he said. “It seems like a long period of time, but it’s going to go by quick.”

OPINION
A different perspective on disaster Commissioners’ FROM THE WORLD In the ongoing debate about whether or not to welcome a liquefied natural gas plant in our backyard, there is one argument against the project that we feel needs to be put in some larger perspective. Opponents have been recently emphasizing the potential for catastrophe at the plant in the event of a major earthquake and resulting tsunami. We’re talking about a magnitude 9 quake, often called a catastrophic, or “great” earthquake. That’s the size of the quake that shattered South-central Alaska in 1964, Sumatra in 2004, Chile in 2010 and Japan in 2011. Such a quake is highly likely. Just off our shore is the Cascadia subduction zone, a giant fault line where the ocean floor is grating beneath the North America plate. The line and the accompanying rupture zone stretches from British Columbia to Eureka, Calif. As those plates grind against each other, the strain and destructive power is unimaginable. The disaster scenario concerning LNG envisions massive plant destruction, resulting in toxic pollution of Coos Bay and a possible explosion, or at least a massive cloud that would waft over North Bend and the city of Coos Bay, occluding everything in its path. Envision hell unleashed from the North Spit, and a population victimized with no escape. But ask Michael Murphy, Program manager for Coos County Emergency Management, and he’ll say: “Jordan Cove would be the least of our problems.” His point is that it doesn’t matter whether there is an LNG plant or not. In the event of a magnitude 9 quake, the destruction would be total. First, there would be the shaking earth. A magnitude 9 quake would destroy or severely damage all infrastructure. The Oregon Resilience Plan, written in February 2013 by the state Office of Emergency Management, describes the aftermath this way: “Following the Cascadia event, the coastal communities will be cut off from he rest of the state and from each other. The coastal area’s transportation system, electrical power transmission and distribution grid, and natural gas service will be fragmented and offline, with long-term setbacks to water and wastewater services. Reliable communications will be similarly affected. …
“The loss of roads and bridges that run north and south will make travel up and down the coast and into the valley difficult, if not impossible ... and the difficulties will be exacerbated in the tsunami inundation area by its more complete destruction. “… Current timelines for the restoration of services to 90 percent operational levels will take a minimum of one to three years, and often over three years in the earthquake-only zone. Restoration in the tsunami zone will take even longer than that.” The violent shaking would also disrupt the seabed itself, leaving navigation of the bay treacherous, at best. To the east, landslides could easily cut us off from access to Interstate 5 via state Highways 38 and 42. We have talked before about the concept of South Coast as an island. A catastrophic earthquake would literally isolate us. And then there’s the tsunami, which would arrive about 15 to 20 minutes later. A tsunami resulting from a Cascadia major event would be at our doorsteps quickly – about 15 to 20 minutes after the actual quake itself. Reaching high ground immediately would be essential to survival. Waterfront land and land along tributaries to Coos Bay will be inundated in Biblical proportions. A flood map for Coos County shows some areas exceeding half-mile inland will be under a giant swell. The airport will be under water. Everything not anchored to bedrock will be sucked out as the tsunami ebbs. Southwest Oregon Regional Airport in North Bend would be submerged. The closest coastal runway capable of handling large aircraft would be the 5,100-foot Cape Blanco State Airport near Sixes. Coos County’s 60 bridges and Curry County’s 70 bridges would likely be unsafe to cross, if still in place. With devastation complete, the Oregon Resilience Plan tells us that immediate life and health safety help from the outside world will be weeks, even months away. And while we are scrambling to shelter and feed ourselves and tend to the sick and injured while we wait for the cavalry, across the bay, the Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas plant likely will be sitting up on its manmade bluff more than 40 feet above sea level, nearly intact. That is, if it is engineered the way the company claims it will be.
Jordan Cove spokesman Michael Hinrichs says the plant has systems designed to shut down operations completely in the event of a major earthquake. It could simply sit out the disaster, then fire up its own power plant to effect emergency operations. At least, that’s what the company is telling federal regulators. And its product, the liquefied natural gas, would rise as it evaporates, should any escape. A toxic fireball? Highly unlikely as the escaping gas expands and disperses. If it survives relatively intact, it will be an engineering feat similar to that of the trans-Alaska oil pipeline that survived the 7.9 magnitude Denali earthquake beneath it in 2002. Not a drop of oil was spilled. Could it be imaginable that the Jordan Cove site could even become a first responder staging site for incoming aide or emergency medical evacuations? With its own power and trained emergency personnel, might the LNG plant be the closest thing we would have to a rescue operations base? That sounds like a stretch, or even heresy, to some. But, indeed, those discussions have been taking place in the past year, as well. Folks, our point is to put this argument in perspective: In the event of a “great” earthquake, the devastation will be all-encompassing — beneath us and around us. Threats to life and limb will come from our own surroundings, whether or not there is an LNG plant a few miles away. Shouldn’t this be something we should be worrying about just as much, if not more?

Reedsport schools explain next year’s free meals program This story was sent by the Reedsport School District, in response to a story in The Umpqua Post on free breakfast, lunch and snacks during the next school year. For years North Bend and Reedsport, as well as Coquille, have had a partnership in food service. Cooks from all three districts network together to provide students with healthy and enjoyable meals. The good news for Reedsport is now all students, regardless of income, will be able to enjoy these means at no charge. Students at Highland and Reedsport Community Charter School will be eligible to receive lunch at no charge. Students cur-
rently are able to receive breakfast at no charge. The Community Eligibility Provision is a new program available to schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. It has been tested in other areas and is now being implemented in Oregon. Rhonda Hoffine, food service director for North Bend, Coquille and Reedsport, worked with U.S. Department of Agriculture and Reedsport administration to bring this program to fruition in Reedsport. Staff that were reviewing applications and monitoring food service activities can now perform other
duties outside of food service. The general fund will absorb this cost once paid for by food service. All district revenue and expenses are required by the Department of Agriculture to be used within that district’s food service program. Highland and RCCS each have fully equipped kitchens. They take pride in their expertise in preparing all meals on site. North Bend delivers food from a central site for all three districts. Parents will receive a letter stating the new changes for the coming school year. No action is required on the part of the parent. It is going to be an exciting change for the food service program.

Clinical rotations follow; the nature of these depends on the program. I am a family nurse practitioner, as such, I spent most of my clinical hours caring for patients of all ages in clinics similar to Dunes. Other specialties are certified nurse midwives, pediatric nurse practitioners, adult gerontology, neonatal or psychiatric mental health, depending on the program attended. Most nurse practitioners do focus on primary care, however, there are now quite specialized programs as well, usually utilizing a fellowship; acute care, cardiology, surgery, etc. Nurse practitioners must pass a certifying exam before being licensed. After becoming board certified, there are extra credentialing steps, licensure, and prescriptive authority, on both a federal and state level. The nurse practitioner must
maintain a certain amount of continuing medical education credits to retain their certification and license. Nurse practitioners are licensed through the Board of Registered Nursing. In the new paradigms such as patient centered medical homes (Dunes is one) and accountable care organizations, nurse practitioners are expected to play an increasing role in providing access as more people have the opportunity to receive medical care which they have not had before through the Affordable Care Act. I am really enjoying both my work at Dunes and the Reedsport area. I truly enjoy the nurse practitioner role. I have the opportunity to see patients all the way through the life span from babies to the elderly, and really like the challenge. We continue to grow at Dunes to serve the needs of the 2,000 or more people who will now have health insurance in our area, and are still accepting new patients.

‘The composer is dead’ Don’t panic. Most of them are, you know. Well, the ones who are lauded in concerts all over the world, including Coos Bay. I like it that the Oregon Coast Music Association has named its Pops Concert “The WHAT’S UP? Composer is Dead” and expanded two-for-one tickets. The pair of tix for $20 is a terrific idea meant to encourage a parent and child to attend together. Price shouldn’t be what keeps you from exposing your kids to great music, right? But it’s even better than that Nancie this time. The two for Hammond $20 is expanded to everyone and all the tickets for this concert are on sale at that price. There’s also a free bus from the Reedsport Public Library to the Marshfield High School auditorium to save on gas money! The concert is next Thursday, July 24, at 7:30 p.m. Catch the Braves Bus at 6:30 p.m. at the library. Tickets are available now at the Reedsport Public Library and at Dunes Family Health Care through Dr. Harris. The Pops Concert is a very good one to start with if you’re new to symphony and orchestra music. It’s recognizable and fun so you don’t have to worry about being bored or in over your head. None of that “doom, doom da doom” stuff. Kids will love seeing and hearing the lively music being played and all the different instruments used. It’s something everyone will enjoy — really!
A job well done The annual Christmas in July volunteer day held last Saturday was a huge success! Stan Bates surely would have been proud. As you know, Stan was the leader of the program that brings out volunteers to repair and refurbish the homes of disabled and senior residents who need a hand. This year we lost beloved Stan, but his legacy lives on in a million ways. One of them is Christmas in July in Reedsport. Maybe it was in Stan’s memory, but the turnout this year was terrific. On Saturday morning, 48 unregistered volunteers showed up! A total of 82 workers turned out and completed 18 projects all over town. They racked up close to 500 hours of labor. Huge thanks to all those helpers who did so much — if you know one, be sure to tell him or her how much it is appreciated. Not only does it help the home owners by sprucing up the places, making them safe and installing equipment to make life easier, but it makes our whole town look better. Everything we do to make it more attractive means good things will happen. More people will want to visit and live here when it looks like we care about our homes. And for the people living inside? Well, you know they are feeling so appreciative and cared for. There will be a wrap-up meeting Aug. 19 to talk about the projects, what it cost and how to do it even better next year. I’ll keep you posted. If you missed this year’s event, go to the meeting and get on board for next year. The walk-in flurry did cause a little bit of a cluster at the beginning, so the team is working on avoiding that in the future. No one wants to discourage the folks who took a notion to help out at the last minute. Still, daylight was burnin’ while everyone scurried to find jobs for workers and workers for jobs. Bring your ideas to the table!
A fabulous volunteer opportunity I love this one! This idea is very much in keeping with the Christmas in July theme, and involves kids ages 14-18. The Family Resource Center and Carol Stock are look-
ing for young volunteers to assist seniors. She plans to pair them up to help out with simple chores and companionship. We’re talking about seniors who are in generally good shape but can use a little bit of help the way older people often can. Not with personal needs, but with things like gardening or moving a few things around in the garage, light work but important connections. As Carol points out, seniors appreciate the help and effort; they need the help due to physical limitations that come with age; seniors deserve the help, having worked hard for many years serving their country, community and others. She says: “Many seniors have never asked for help before. By volunteering and coming into their lives in a helpful manner you can gain a friend, you will hear their unique past, their experiences, and you will see them smile. These things can’t be measured in time or dollars.” That Carol is pretty smart. What a good idea, especially for kids who don’t have grandparents nearby. The bond between an older and younger person is something valuable for everyone to experience. On both sides of the relationship. They have a lot to learn from each other. And as a bonus, maybe a few chores are accomplished. Some seniors really only want a bit of company to make the days go by. Carol will match up each set carefully. To volunteer, stop by the Family Resource Center for an application or call 541-271-9700. Try it!

DuneFest update Another volunteer opportunity, and this one is of another color altogether. Not so much for kids, but we need some adult volunteers to work the booths and the vendor row area. It takes a lot of manpower to make DuneFest happen each year and the Chamber of Commerce couldn’t do it without you! It’s a good thing it’s so much fun. When you’re working with a couple of friends and things are hopping and everyone is happy because they’re where they want to be, it’s a good time. Besides, there’s that DuneFest swag, you know. A shift in the booth earns you a rare and coveted DuneFest T-shirt emblazoned with “volunteer” so everyone knows you’re an insider. And you also get a free pass to attend the event, and those are spendy items. Going for free after just a four-hour commitment to having some fun in the booth? Not a bad deal. Volunteers are being screened this year. Sign up for a shift by talking to Debbie McKinney at 541-271-2146. She will put you on the path to getting hold of that treasured T-shirt and give you the secret code for getting into the pizza party orientation. Shaking things up a little this year so there are fewer volunteers and more responsibility. It was not a good thing to have deadbeats leaving key shifts uncovered last year, and you can bet Debbie doesn’t let that happen twice! Volunteering at DuneFest really is a hoot. Once you’re out there you can’t help but get the fever, with all the ATVs ripping around and electricity in the air. But you don’t have to work to attend — even if you don’t own an ATV you can catch the Dunes Bus in Winchester Bay and have a look around. Get out at Vendor Row and tour the booths, have some lunch. All of that is free. Buy a ticket and you can also go out to the sand to watch the races, see the Rock the Dunes concerts at night, and watch the big show with the jumping ATVs doing tricks you won’t believe! If you really get the fever you can buy a rig on the spot from the dealers. You still have 15 days to make a plan, buy a four-wheeler, and sign up to be a volunteer. Do it all!

LOCAL Cancer FROM PAGE 1 said you’ve got to go the Oregon coast and I understand why now.” Although, he admits, he has a fear of heights and the hill to Sea Lion Caves, north of Florence, was challenging. The highway runs right next to a cliff. “Let’s just say that was breathtaking,” he laughed. Walking through the tunnel on the way to Sea Lion Caves was an experience, too. “I’ve never had a tunnel like that in all my travels,” he said. “I waited for a car to actually come into sight so they could actually see us in the tunnel.” Cars did slow in both directions as they made it through the short tunnel. There have been other challenges. “We’ve had our tough scrapes,” Robinson admits. “Highway 20 I did by myself
because it was just too dangerous. That was tough on me. I did 51 miles in two days and had some real close calls.” It’s his second walk of the kind. He, and his dogs, completed a 2,000-mile walk from Austin to Boston in 2010 to fulfill a promised he made to his first dog, Malcolm, who died of canine cancer. Robinson says as he walks through cities, he encourages people to stop. “We want people to come out and walk an hour with us; walk a day with us; walk a week,” he said. “Come out an meet the famous ‘fuzzybutts’ and learn about our mission.” He’ll also talk about his foundation, which provides information about cancer in general. “It benefits both pets and people,” he said. “Too often it gets mischaracterized as
‘dog cancer’ or ‘pet cancer.’ That just isn’t the case. Science is showing us that there is a link and there is a reason to encourage studies.” Robinson has been taking donations while he walks. “We’ve probably had 30 to 40 dollars,” he said. “People would just stop by and give a couple of bucks.” Robinson says people who want to donate to the cause can also log into puppyup.org. Track their progress by visiting www.2dogsagainstcancer.com. Hudson and Indiana are sporting Tagg GPS Pet Tracker collars to document their trek. He thinks they’ll hit the Mexican border later this fall. They still have the whole state of California to walk through. He plans to do that on the Pacific Coast Highway. As he likes to say: “Puppy Up!”

Leif announces candidacy for county commissioner Roseburg photographer Gary Leif has announced his candidacy to replace Douglas County Commissioner Doug Robertson, who will step down from the post he’s held for 33 years at the end of the month. Commissioners will choose an interim replacement next month, but an election will be held in November for the rest of Robertson’s term, which ends at the end or 2016. According to a news release Leif is a 50-year resident of Douglas County. He praised the work of Robertson. “I can only hope to contribute as much as Doug did over his many years of public service,” Leif said in the news release. “He truly set a high standard, one that I will work hard to meet.” Leif talked about his priorities, if he is elected to the board in the November election. “I believe county government exists to protect the people of Douglas County, their property, and their rights,” Leif said. “The best way for government to do that is to function transparently. So, my top priority will be to give residents access to county policymaking and service delivery.”

Strom was taken into custody and charged with attempted criminal homicide, first-degree robbery and menacing. The victim’s property was returned to him.

regional tournament. Bill Roderick, coach of the 13-15 team, said that Doane is among the top pitchers for his squad and Hixenbaugh is among the best hitters. The two were freshmen this spring, helping Reedsport’s varsity team reach the playoffs for the first time since 2007. Lavigne and Barnes should see plenty of time with the 13-year-old prep squad, which will play Umpqua Valley at 10 a.m. Saturday and Klamath Falls at 4 p.m. The bracket portion of the tournament starts at 10 a.m. Sunday, with the top team from Saturday getting a bye until 2 p.m. Since it is a double-elimination bracket, a third game might be necessary, and would be played at 5 p.m. Admission each day is $8 for adults and $5 for children 7-12. Children 6 and under get in free. Tournament passes are $15 for adults and $25 for families.
Tenmile Lakes group struggles with fix for blue-green algae BY CHELSEA DAVIS The Umpqua Post
LAKESIDE — Tenmile Lakes’ blue-green algae problem-solving team still can’t agree on a solution. A lack of consensus has plagued the Tenmile Lakes work group for years since blue-green algae began blooming in the lake. “We‘ve been at this for four years, with nothing to show for it,” said Lakeside property owner Vaughn Rains at the work group’s Wednesday meeting. The majority want to create a special water improvement district (similar to that at Devils Lake in Lincoln City) to funnel tax dollars toward a solution. But the group missed the May deadline to put a district on the November ballot. Now, they need to decide whether to put it to a vote in May or November next year, or find another avenue that could solve the toxic problem. “I think it’s really important that we have a district because the lake needs to be helped in more than just one way,” said work group member Tim Bishop. “We were
making very good progress until it came to boundaries.” That’s when the group hit a wall: They couldn’t agree whether the district should include only property owners surrounding the lake or whether local businesses that benefit from the lake, the entire city of Lakeside and/or surrounding agricultural and timber land should cough up some cash. Tenmile Lakes Basin Partnership member Mike Mader said the ag community cannot be included in the district. Tenmile Lakes Association member Debbie Newman said it comes down to money, but Mader said it’s because they already took action to lessen their impact. Lakeside property owners still question what’s really causing the algae outbreak. Some say it’s improperlyfunctioning septic systems; others say it’s sedimentation and weed growth. The group has one concrete deadline: Oct. 14. That s when they need to turn in signatures to the county commissioners for the special district to appear on the May ballot.
Tuna fishing picks up in ocean off Winchester Bay Lots of sport tuna anglers fishing out of Winchester Bay were successful this past week. Catches ranged to more than 50 tuna per boat, although the average was probably less than half that. Some of the tuna were caught within 20 miles of Winchester Bay. However, at the end of last weekend, the proper water temperatures and the tuna seemed to be moving around. For most of last week salmon anglers were able to cross the Umpqua River Bar and fish the ocean. Very cold water near shore limited the salmon bite for many anglers, but anglers venturing farther out enjoyed a somewhat better bite. Grant Sheeley got his five clients into 10 salmon last Sunday, while the Lewises — a father-andson team who often fish with Richard Babcock — got six salmon for three
