Port Orford project wins Main Street award Bandon Western World

PORT ORFORD — The Port Orford Temporary Mural Project received an Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Award for “Outstanding Beautification Project” from Oregon Main Street on Oct. 1 during the Oregon Main Street Annual Conference in McMinnville.

The murals were painted by Bandon artist and muralist Vicki Affatati and local students, who have painted several

murals that add color and depth to Bandon buildings.

Inspired by murals by British graffiti artist Banksy who created several impromptu murals on abandoned buildings to commemorate the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the Port Orford Main Street Association decided to create temporary murals to change the appearance of the buildings until resolution occurs, creating bright spots of color where formerly there was blight.

“In many of our communities we have watched buildings suffer from years of neglect for a variety of reasons,” said Karen Auborn of the Port Orford Main Street Revitalization Association.

“The association wanted to mitigate this issue on their ‘main street’ until funds are available to make necessary repairs on a few prominent buildings.

The award is given to the municipali-

Pacific Gales faces appeal — again

By John Gunther Bandon Western World

GOLD BEACH — The proposed Pacific Gales golf course is going through the hearings process again.

The developers for the course, which would be located on a portion of Knapp Ranch between Port Orford and the Elk River, filed a new conditional use application for the project this fall after approval of their first proposal was appealed to the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals by a pair of environmental groups.

The Curry County Planning Commission voted 7-1 in late October to approve the new application and that

BANDON —Coast Community Health Center is reaching out to help residents make the most of health services and resources.Steven Eggert joined the health center team in October as Community Resource Coordinator for Bandon.

Outreach workers for federally qualified health centers serve as liaisons between health centers, partnering health and human services organizations, and the communities they serve.

“I love connecting with people.

Meeting with somebody when they’re in a vulnerable place and helping them out, that’s where I get satisfaction,” said Eggert.

Eggert is a Bandon High School graduate who earned his bachelor’s degree in public health education from Linfield College in McMinnville. He’s excited to bring his training back to his home town, guiding residents to resources they may not know exist.

“Working in health care is a humbling experience. When you’re focused on the

BANDON — The search for a new city manager to replace longtime City Manager Matt Winkel is moving forward.

The City Council met in executive session Monday to discuss potential candidates with the Prothman Company, an Issaquah, Wash., based consulting firm that specializes in providing national and regional executive recruitment services to cities, counties and other governmental agencies throughout the western United States.

The council hired the Prothman Company in August and is paying them between $22,700 and $24,400 to conduct the search.

Monument is dedicated to South Coast’s gold history Bandon Western World

Gold is part of the South Coast’s history. First found at Whiskey Run north of Bandon in 1852, gold was also found in the beaches of South Slough, Bandon, Cape Blanco, Port Orford, Ophir, Gold Beach and Pistol River.

The original name of Gold Beach was Ellensburg, then changed in 1890 because of the amount of gold found there. Building a courthouse at the site years later was delayed because of a tunnel that had been dug under the

The monument is on the west side of U.S. Highway 101 on the north side of Crystal Creek, just north of Sixes River Road and the Sixes Grange Hall, about five miles north of Port Orford. It is

BANDON — Business loans are available to qualified applicants in Coos County through the of Bandon Port Economic Development Fund. The money can be used to start up, purchase or expand a business; buy inventory, and augment cash flow.

Made possible federal a through relending program, the Port EDF can loan up to 75 percent of a project to a maximum of $250,000. The fund offers fixed-rate financing for up to 20 years.

All loans must be fully collateralized.

“Generally, we are more open to start-up businesses and credit glitches than traditional lenders,” said Melody Gillard-Juarez, adminisaide. “Often trative business owners utilize the fund to get their business going and then refinance when their track

record becomes appealing to the bank.”

A turn-down letter from a bank is required.

However, if a bank agrees to finance a portion of the project, the fund can take a second position to other lenders. The interest rate is currently 9 percent.

There is no penalty for early repayment.

For more information, potential applicants can contact Gillard-Juarez at 541-347-9105; 541-4045637 or by email at createjobs@harborside.c om.

Ask Us About Dental Implants!

Did you know?

Did you know that titanium was first used for implants by dentists?

It’s true! In 1930’s the metal titanium was found to be bio-compatible, and within 20 years it was used to make dental implants. Orthopedists learned about the success that dentists were having, and started testing it,too.

Before long it was the metal of choice for knee and hip joint replacements.

Titanium is still the standard of care.

We’ve come a long way! With excellent dental care from Dr. Strong, you will protect your teeth, look great, and feel even better. With dental implants, you can now keep your smile for a lifetime! We’re here to help!

OPINION

A4 • Bandon Western World

Thursday, November 13, 2014

Take a leap and get involved One of the more dismaying aspects of last Tuesday’s election was the long list of uncontested races. By default, many city council members and mayors were granted another term in office with barely a whit of challenge.

Time was when only politicians in third world or communist regimes enjoyed that kind of unquestioned power.

We certainly don’t think of ourselves that way. But when a community keeps simply handing the reins of power to the same people term after term, that means that either these people are the greatest civic leaders in the history of America; or community members,

for whatever reason, aren’t motivated enough to bring about change.

We suspect the latter.

Maybe the idea of running for mayor or city council is slightly intimidating. We’d like to believe there are individuals in our community who want to get more involved, but aren’t sure they want to make the giant leap in the elective office.

Well, here’s one possible way to test the waters, so to speak. Serve on a local board or commission.

For example, the city of Coos Bay is currently looking for volunteers for a number of seats on its budget committee, the parks commission

and the planning commission. The Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board currently has an opening.

The city of Bandon often has openings on its city commissions and committees, and the Southern Coos Health District, Port of Bandon and Bandon School Board often seek members for their budget and other committees.

Most times, bodies like these don’t carry the burden of setting policy, but they are valuable to those who do set policy.

Participating on a volunteer board gives you an inside look at the nuts and bolts of your community. You become educated in what makes a community run, and that can give

you the confidence to offer real solutions to the constant challenges facing you and your neighbors.

And with that newfound knowledge may come the confidence to throw your hat into the political ring.

What we’re saying here is not meant as an indictment against this year’s uncontested candidates.

They’ve shown their commitment by being on the ballot. But we suspect they wouldn’t be offended by a little healthy competition.

So, get involved. Start small, on a volunteer board or commission.

Our community loves animals and deserves a Puppy Kisses award for their generosity in support of this wonderful event. Together we raised $4,500 in support of the Coos County Animal Shelter through Animal Shelter Aide.

The ASA works hard to improve the existing animal shelter, providing a covered meet and greet area to introduce potential adoption families to their chosen pet, was just one of the many projects they accomplished this year. Stacy Hoover from ASA was on site all day to answer questions about adopting a homeless pet from the shelter.

Thank you to all who helped make this a great success. Most of the silent auction items and financial support were donated by our community here in Bandon. Coos Bay Toyota, Mill Casino, Bandon Dunes and Jennifer Bolin (It’s All About You Salon) deserve a special thank you for their contributions. We couldn't have done it with out each and every one of you pulling together to make the best place on the Oregon Coast.

As the saying goes, “When you’re given a box of lemons make lemonade.” We moved the silent auction, the contests and king and queen coronation inside Bandon True Value. A special thank you to BARK who weathered the storm to barbecue hot dogs.

A proud little Chihuahua, Sparky, owned by Marshal and Doris Sparks was crowned Barktoberfest King. He rules his kingdom well, giving love and affection to all.

John and Nita Batson's little Yorkie, Mocha Lisa, is well deserving of the Barktoberfest Queen title. She has a long list a tricks she has mastered with impec-kibble performance. She desires all homeless pets in Coos County to be adopted by families and given good homes.

First place costume contest was won by Bailey, who was in a bright pink dress, hat and a wig. Sparky and Marshal Sparks won the dog/owner look-a-like contest. We all had a lot of fun on a rainy day.

health sciences, and director, Institute for Health and Environment, school of public health, University of Albany, states, “Unfortunately, all exposure standards are based on the false assumptions that there are no hazardous effects at intensities that do not cause tissue heating.” (bioinitiative.org) Paul J. Rosch M.D., clinical professor of medicine and psychiatry, New York Medical College, states, “Numerous research reports have confirmed that nonthermal fields from cell phones, tower transmitters, power lines and other manmade sources can significantly affect various tissues and physiologic functions.

Dr. Hanry Loci, research professor, department of bioengineering, University of Washington, states, “There have been about 200 studies on the biological effects of cell phone radiation. When you look at the nonindustry sponsored research, about three of four papers show an effect. Then if you look at the industry-funded research, it’s almost the opposite, only one out of every four papers show an effect.

The problem, he adds, “is that there is no funding available in the U.S. that isn’t attached to the industry.”

Thatcher asserted that the Bio-inititative report was not correct, even though it is based on over 2,000 peer

reviewed research studies. I asked him, if the Bio-initiative report was not correct, why would the International Association of Firefighters stop all cell tower installations at fire stations that based their decision on that report? I never got a definitive answer to my question.

Disputes presentation On Oct. 13 the Bandon School District hosted a presentation regarding the safety of the cell tower located at the school. Andrew H. Thatcher was brought in from Tacoma, Wash., to assure everyone that the cell/Wi-Fi tower is completely safe.

The bulk of his data is based on the industry’s own studies that conclude you must have high enough radio frequency levels that would produce heating or thermal effects to cause damage to tissue or cells. This idea was what the FCC and FDA used to establish the safety guidelines prior to 1996, when the Federal Communications Act of 1996 was signed in to law.

Community Christmas cantata offered by Ministerial Association Bandon Western World

BANDON — This Christmas, the Bandon Ministerial Association is once again offering the gift of a seasonal cantata to the community. Entitled “Let the Whole World Sing” this new work features original music by composer Joel Raney interspersed with familiar carols and scripture-based narration.

“Let the Whole World Sing” will be offered this year in two different venues and two different times: At 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Dec. 3, at the Sprague Theater and again at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at First Presbyterian Church, 592 Edison Ave. SW, Bandon.

The matinee performance will allow those who don’t like to drive at night to enjoy the concert. There will be no charge for either performance, but a freewill offering will be received to support the charitable work of Bandon Ministerial Association among local folks and travelers in need.

“Since the birth of Christ, the gospel message has spread across the globe and Christmas is now celebrated annually in more than 160 countries,” said the Rev. Bobbi Neason of First Presbyterian, regarding the theme of the cantata. “Despite our many differences, we celebrate the season united as one kingdom of believers.”

“Let the Whole World Sing,” is a 30minute musical that consists of seven movements plus a closing reprise. From the Celtic lilt of “In the Bleak Midwinter” to the African rhythms of “Come, Come, Emmanuel,” through the Caribbean styled “Christ Is Born,” the arrangements underscore the universality of the gospel message.

“New music is blended with familiar, traditional carols in a wide variety of styles to create an interesting and fresh retelling of the Christmas story,” Neason said.

“The 25-voice choir represents quite a number of different area churches, a witness to the unity and harmony

Bus Jam set for Dec. 6 Bandon Western World

The 13th annual Rotary/KDOCK Bus Jam will beheld from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

Saturday, Dec. 6.

Each year on the first Saturday in December, K-DOCK 92.9 FM, in partnership with Rotary, First Student Bus Company, the Bandon School District, Bi-Mart, the Department of Human Services, SWOCC and South Coast Food Share, broadcast for five hours, rain or shine, to encourage residents to make a donation to Bus Jam. In Bandon, a school bus will be parked at the Bandon Shopping Center and US Cellular employees, along with Bandon Rotary members and Bandon High School Interact club members will

be accepting donations of toys for children of all ages and non-perishable food.

People in Coos Bay and North Bend can donate on the same day at the Coos Bay and North Bend Bi-Mart stores. Early donation drop boxes will be placed in each Coos County community around the Nov. 10. Drop off locations include K-DOCK Radio, Bi-Mart, Bandon US Cellular, Lakeside Fire Department, The World Newspaper, Books By The Bay and other locations to be determined.

This year’s goals are to collect 20,000 pounds of food, 2,000 new toys and gifts and $3,500 in cash. Donations of food will be distributed through South Coast Food Share to Coos County food banks. Toys are collected and sorted for distribution on

Saturday, Dec. 13, at the Newmark Center in Coos Bay across from Walmart to qualifying families.

The 2014 Bus Jam sign-up also is underway. If you or someone you know is in need this Christmas, you or they can register by phone 541-888-7037 from now until Dec. 12. Leave a message and someone from Department of Human Services will return the call for confirmation.

“All your donations, every single penny, every single toy and every can of food stays right here in Coos County,” said Stephanie Kilmer, one of the Bus Jam organizers. “It’s neighbor helping neighbor and a community united.”

For more information, visit www.loadthebus.com.

Christ brings,” Neason said.

The choir is directed by retired longtime BHS music teacher John Harding, accompanied by Crystal Landucci, another well-known local musician.

“It is our great pleasure to be able to offer this musical gift to the community,” said the Rev. Tim Moore, BMA president. “There is so much talent in this small community, and it is a joy to bring these folks together to create something of such beauty and meaning for everyone’s enjoyment. Few of our local churches are large enough to support a regular vocal choir, so the musicians really look forward to getting together.”

Southwestern Oregon Preppers to meet Nov. 15 Bandon Western World

COOS BAY — Southwestern Oregon Preppers will be holding a meeting at noon on Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Coos Bay Fire Department, 450 Elrod, Coos Bay, Oregon 97420.

The main topic is “Colloidal Silver.” The benefits of colloidal silver have been debated. Come and hear what users have to say. SWOP meetings always start with a question and answer period

before the main topic so all in attendance get a chance to participate.

This is a free public meeting to get to know fellow local preppers in southwestern Oregon counties and to exchange information and ideas.

It is important for individuals to understand that they will be “on their own” in the event of a disaster and not to depend on receiving outside help.

Join Southwestern Oregon Preppers on Facebook and/or meetup.com.

Company have presented information on all of the approximately 25 applicants to the councilors, who are in the process of screening and narrowing that pool down to three to six finalists.

According to Councilor Claudine Hundhausen, Prothman Company representatives are involving the council in every step of the process.

When the finalists are chosen, likely sometime this week, they will be asked to come back to Bandon, tentatively set for Monday, Dec. 1, to be reviewed by a panel consisting of at least three members of the public and two city employees.

Then the finalists will participate in a meetand-greet that evening, location to be announced, which will be open to the public. The

behind the guardrail, in a wide turnout with plenty of parking.

The Oregon Department of Transportation will place information signs for the historical marker soon.

The plaque is black granite with gold lettering, set in a concrete monument.

The “Clampers,” as they are called, will install a rock fascia on the monument in the near future. The dedication was attended by Clampers, the Curry Historical Society, Sixes Grange members and others.

E Clampus Vitus was established in 1845 in what would become West Virginia, to benefit the widows and orphans of miners killed in coal mines there. They evolved into a historical fraternity, mostly in the Western United States with more than 40 chapters, of which Umpqua Joe Chapter No. 1859 is the first in Oregon.

The chapter meets once monthly in Grants Pass, and a small but growing coast contingent meets in Coos Bay. Information is available from XNGH “Robby” Robinson at 541-290-8149.

Gales ■ from Page A1 decision has been appealed, as expected, by the Oregon Coast Alliance. The appeal arrived in the Curry County Planning Department last week.

The project now goes to the Curry County Board of Commissioners, who will review the Planning Commission’s decision. No date has been set for the commissioners hearing.

The 18-hole golf course received many positive comments from Port Orford and surrounding areas when Elk River Developers Inc. first proposed it late in 2013.

Because it would be built on land zoned exclusive farm use, a conditional use permit is required.

ORCA has appealed the course largely on legal technicalities arguing, among other things, that the acreage of the course would be too large than the definition of an 18hole course described in Oregon Administrative Rules; that the design capacity for the buildings planned for the golf course exceeds allowable limits; that the property meets the definition for high-value farmland, which would require an exception to land rules rather than just a conditional use permit; and that the developers haven’t properly addressed wetland and geological hazard issues.

Planners for the course are confident their application will withstand any appeals to the county and, ultimately, to LUBA. “We’re just anxious to put it all to bed,” said Jim Haley, one of the leaders in the group. “We’re hanging in there. We’re not going anywhere.”

Developers originally hoped to start construction of the course this fall, but that timeline has been pushed back at least a year by the appeals.

council, both current members and newly elected members, will interview the finalists on Dec. 2 and, if all goes well, will make their decision that week.

The new city manager will be offered a salary between $80,000 and $100,000, depending on experience, as well as medical, dental, vision and retirement benefits.

The regular council meeting on Dec. 1 will be postponed until Dec. 8 to allow for the interview and meet-and-greet process, Winkel said, adding that the dates and process are still tentative. The panel of residents has not yet been announced, as they haven’t been formally asked, Winkel added.

“We have long awaited having outreach services in our health center,” said Executive Director Linda Maxon.

“Steven is the perfect person to be coordinating our community resources. Being local allows Steven to build on the relationships he already has while using his education and outreach training to support the services we will offer. His work is exactly what we want to be doing for the communities we serve.”

It is the legal responsibility of the council to make the final decision on who it will hire as city manager. Winkel said their names would be announced prior to the meet-and-greet.

“The council is doing its best to protect confidentiality while keeping the public informed and the process as transparent as possible,” Winkel said.

Matt Winkel, who has been with the city for more than 20 years, will retire at the end of the year, but will stay on longer if a candidate is not chosen by then.

The Prothman Company offers a twoyear guarantee to locate additional candidates if the one hired does not work out.

SWOCC honors area organizations, businesses COOS BAY — Southwestern Oregon Community College recently honored 88 businesses and organizations at a “Night of Thank Yous” for supporting internships during 2013-2014, as part of the state of Oregon’s Career Pathways Grant program.

“Interns bring fresh eyes and ideas to the workforce and add additional resources to projects,” said Coos County Health Department’s Cynthia Edwards. “Interns also have been instrumental in jumpstarting projects that have been on the back burner.”

The event was held at the Oregon Coast Culinary Institute on the Coos Bay campus, with 49 organizations

participating. Southwestern President Dr. Patty Scott opened the celebration with reflections on how a college internship helped shape her career.

“I was fortunate in college to participate in several internships. Those experiences helped focus me in career directions that have proven rewarding,” Scott said. “I also learned what jobs I didn’t want to do!”

The Health Department and Coos Watershed Association received special internship awards for “Exemplary Partnerships to Help College Students Succeed.” Both organizations have expanded their collaboration with

SWOCC and hosted the greatest number of internships, said SWOCC Internship Coordinator Trish McMichael.

Partner companies and agencies filled out surveys each term ranking skills that they consider the most important for successful job performance. The top four skills were teamwork, listening, verbal communication and customer service.

“For our agency, the internship was very helpful in assisting us with our project needs, and we hope that we provided valuable experience that the student will carry forward toward future employment,” said Mike Gray, Charleston District fish biolo-

gist with the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife.

SWOCC internships have provided opportunities for medical assistants at Bay Clinic and North Bend Medical Center, welding at Southern Oregon Marine Inc., biology at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, criminal justice with the Coquille Indian Tribal Police and work in anthropology at the Coos Historical & Maritime Museum among many other sites.

To explore an internship partnership with the College, contact Trish McMichael at 541-888-7349 or trish.mcmichael@socc.edu.

Shop Bandon 2014 begins on Nov. 28 Bandon Western World

BANDON — Shop in Bandon this holiday season and enjoy special thanks from the local business community.

Shop Bandon 2014 starts Friday, Nov. 28. Shoppers are invited to redeem receipts from businesses in Bandon’s 97411 zip code for commemorative drinking glasses through Dec. 22 at the Bandon Visitors Center. The annual holiday program is sponsored by members of the Bandon Chamber of Commerce.

Since 2009, the program has seen a growing number of enthusiasts, including visitors from nearby towns and even out of state. Volunteer Bandon Visitor Center docents are often greeted December mornings by a line of shoppers ready to collect their glasses. And the annual receipt bundles represent purchases from more than 150 Bandon businesses.

Owners Beth and Ed Wood have celebrated the holidays at the Bandon Mercantile Company since 1985. So they know what makes shoppers

happy: A festive shopping atmosphere, great product selection and staff who are happy to provide extras like hot coffee, gift wrap and shipping service.

Beth is a Shop Bandon sponsor who believes the program is good for the whole business community.

Beth ties her own holiday bow on the program. In addition to receipts good for Shop Bandon glasses, she rewards Mercantile customers with coupons for savings at the store through January. Receipts from the Mercantile topped the Shop Bandon merchant list in 2013.

“The program is very successful,” she said.

Shop Bandon participants may collect one of four different glasses with each $85 worth of receipts. Receipts must indicate products purchased between Nov. 28 and Dec. 22. City utilities, groceries, prescriptions and filling station purchases are exempt.

Collect glasses at the Bandon Visitor Center, 300 Second Street, open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
