Harvest boon or bust? By Amy Moss Strong Bandon Western World
BANDON – Local growers have just completed harvesting this year’s cranberry crop, but for some it was a discouraging year. The depressed market has growers ready to sell their farms — if they could. Others continue to wait it out to see if the market improves as they hold onto the dream that the farm will remain in the family for another generation. That hope, however, grows slimmer as independent growers face the fifth year in a row of payout lower than the cost of production. But that’s typical of farming, said Jim Jackson, a local grower whose three sons now run the family’s 50 acres of bogs off Morrison Road. “Eventually the market will come around,” said Jackson, who’s been in the business since 1969. “That’s the way farming is. We enjoy this kind of life and that’s why we do it. Hopefully things will get better.” Jackson used to be an Ocean Spray co-op grower, but in 1999 became an independent growerwho now delivers to Faber Farms, a local receiving plant. In 1999, Jackson said, Ocean Spray wasn’t being managed well, but he feels nowthe company is competitive and profitable. While Ocean Spray co-op growers in the A-pool can expect 45 cents a pound, B-pool growers will likely receive closer to 14 to 15 cents per pound. Comparatively, independent growers will likely receive around 10 to 12 cents per pound — not enough to cover the cost of production, which is estimated at 25 to 30 cents per pound. A-pool growers are generally long-time Ocean Spray co-op members whose berries are well developed, according to Dan Crocker, vice-president of corporate development based in Ocean Spray’s headquarters in Massachusetts. Crocker said the majority of the company’s growers belong to the Apool. Those berries are used in branded products. B-pool growers are Ocean Spray members who have not yet qualified for the A-pool and whose berries are generally sold in commodity products. It’s complicated, growers say, but many of the independents believe Ocean Spray’s policies and practices drive the market to the co-op’s advantage. Jackson says it’s natural for the company to compete with independent growers for their share of the market. Crocker said the commodity market, not Ocean Spray, determines the price for independent and B-pool growers. “The vast majority of fruit from Ocean Spray growers goes into the A-pool, Crocker said. “Then about 400,000 growers in our B-pool receive a commodity return on their fruit, which is close to what independent growers receive.” Crocker feels this year the price might increase for those relying on the commodity market, which fluctuates with supply and demand. “This year in Oregon, the crop was up 14 percent, from 420,000 barrels (a barrel is 100 pounds) last year to a yield of 480,000 barrels this year,” Crocker said. But the total United States crop, some eight million barrels, was down from last year. The way the market works, the remainder of last year’s berries, which have been kept frozen as concentrate, are just now being sold as this year’s crop is harvested. “There’s always an overlap,” Crocker said. “You want to have enough inventory.” Pools close in the spring, so the 2013 crop will be completely sold sometime next year, then the 2014 crop goes on the market, Crocker
SOUTH COAST — Thanks to a collaborative effort between a Curry County cranberry harvester and government officials at the county, state and national levels, farmers of cranberries, blueberries and strawberries in Curry and Coos counties now have a chance to make greater profits when exporting their product to China. That’s because of a regulatory change approved by the United States Department of Agriculture,which now allows the federal agency to issue the phytosanitary certificate that’s required when shipping frozen fruit to the Asian country. Previously, the USDA would issue the clean plant certificate for fresh produce but not for frozen, which posed considerable problems for cranberry farmers such as Curry County’s Robert McKenzie of Wild Rivers Fruit, who at times struggled to meet the 15- to 30-day shipping deadline imposed by the certificate. McKenzie, who has shipped cranberries to China for several years, dealt with the fact that at any time a container of fruit could be seized and quarantined by Chinese customs, which in turn would hold up the process and potentially cost him thousands of dollars.

SOUTH COAST — The South Coast Development Council has received a grant to help local meat and fish producers get the facilities and equipment they need to sell their products close to home. WealthWorks, a group of nonprofits and agencies that supports economic development, has given SCDC and two partner organizations in Curry and Douglas counties $375,000 to spend over two years. The goal, said SCDC development assistant Michelle Martin, is “to have a viable business or businesses that we walk away from and they’re successful.” SCDC and its partners, NeighborWorks Umpqua and Curry Watershed Partnership, were chosen over five other applicants. All six got initial smaller grants to survey their community about what it needed. SCDC and its partners focused on ranchers and fishermen, most of whose product is sold out of the area. For example, local organic beef producers

WESTERN WORLD Editor: Amy Moss Strong

Setting the facts straight This is in response to a letter submitted by Penelope Suess in regard to National Marine Sanctuaries. Ms. Suess and others who write letters without researching require responses like this to keep the facts straight. The port commissions of Bandon, Brookings, Gold Beach and Port Orford, including the county boards of Coos, Curry, Douglas, Lane and Lincoln, along with the city councils of Bandon, Port Orford and Newport have all submitted resolutions of opposition to siting a National Marine Sanctuary along the Oregon coast. Additionally, the Southern Oregon Ocean Resource Coalition (SOORC) and the Reorganized Port Orford Fishermen’s Association (RPOFA) have submitted opposition resolutions to the Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC) at their May 2014 meeting and their follow-up meeting in October 2014. Ms. Suess obviously missed both of those meetings, open to the public and always with opportunity to give public comment. OPAC is a state agency with appointments made to the council by the governor. It doesn’t get much more public than that. All of agencies listed above have done their homework, spent hours researching and sharing information. Ms. Suess has demonstrated that she has not, and has used poorly vetted information. Climate change and critical ocean health are fear tactics. The truth of the matter is this: A few individuals — five to be exact, four in Port Orford and one in Salem — wrote a proposal to designate 1,340 square miles, 33 miles to the west, from New River (south of Bandon) to the Rogue River Reef to nominate this area as a National Marine Sanctuary. Why, you may ask? Not because of the fear tactics used above but because there is a belief that turning over those 1,340 square miles to the federal government will improve Port Orford’s economy. How you may ask? By constructing a marine ecotourism center at Battle Rock in Port Orford. It’s all about the money.
Opinion Letters
Another view
Meanwhile, the natural resources of Oregon waters are some of the best-managed anywhere by layers of agencies already in place like OPAC and ODFW. Bill Douros, executive director of the National Marine Sanctuary said this himself at the October OPAC meeting in Newport. Oregon has worked tirelessly to protect ocean resources for all. This includes the commercial fleets who fish these waters and the thousands of sport fishermen who bring millions of dollars to our local coastal economies. Turning over vast areas of ocean waters to the federal government to manage is beyond comprehension. Please, do your homework, talk to the agencies who are already doing a fantastic job at managing natural resources in this state. We should all be proud of the job these Oregon agencies do, right down to local government and boards who have researched and spent many hours to make certain control stays at the state level. Why are we talking about this? The designation between New River and the Rogue River Reef was withdrawn by the five proponents when the designation was discovered prior to any public vetting,
before being submitted. The NMS foundation has established clear guidelines on “community support” prior to submitting a proposal for consideration. Ms. Suess apparently missed this part of the process. However, the rest of us did not. Written materials by the proponents are available to review. Lastly, Ms. Suess states a NMS designation does not affect fisheries. Once the designation is made, a supervisor is chosen who in turn chooses a board to oversee the designation. It is this body that takes their suggestions for closures, changes in uses, etc., to the National Marine Fisheries (NMF) an agency that resides under NOAA (all federal). The statement that a NMS does not regulate fisheries or ocean uses is false and proponents of a NMS should be ashamed for hiding behind these facts and using fear tactics to implement one. OPAC will be vetting this process again in the spring and OPAC is commended and respected for the hard work they do for the people of the state, as well as the local government agencies who have weighed in to date.

BM 6-150 needed more explanation I am loath to agree with Mr. Stadleman concerning the failed water rate ballot measure and I would sooner believe in the Easter Bunny than believe he opposed it for other than his own interests. However, he does have a point. A bond issue may be the best way to demonstrate the need for water system funding. The failed ballot proposition confused many people because it did not make a strong case for the need other than if the City Council and parenthetically, the city manager who manages the system’s finances, did not get the rate authority back the water system might collapse. If a bond issue were to be proposed it should make the need clear to the rate payers by illustrating the following: — The city’s historical and projected annual water system operating costs, overhead and maintenance — Needed capital improvements, (i.e. distribution system, storage, treatment, etc.) — Debt service, obligations from previous financing — Maintenance and needed improvements

SNAP dollars at the local farmers’ market. For every SNAP dollar shoppers spend at the market, they get a few more. The money that funds Newport’s project is raised by a lemonade stand at the
market run by volunteers. SCDC is also pondering solutions to the problem that arose Sept. 21, when the federal government stopped requiring states to subsidize the cost of electronic
benefits transfer terminals. If rural stores stop taking EBT cards, SNAP beneficiaries will have less access to fresh food. Talking about the traction SCDC is getting for its food initiatives, SCDC’s executive director, Connie Stopher, quoted a current development maxim: “Collaboration is the new competition.” Stopher explained that collaboration was key to the success of this grant. Trying to maximize their chances, SCDC and Curry Watersheds had already partnered on their application for the initial study
1:28 p.m. following a report of a robbery. At the home, Bracken Barnett, 31, told deputies he had been woken from his sleep and tied up by two armed suspects the night prior. W h e n t h e v i c t i m ’s 29-year-old sister was not able to contact Barnett, she went to the home and found him tied up and bound inside, then called police. The victim did not require medical attention. An undisclosed amount of items were removed from the home. Anyone with information regarding the identities of the two suspects are asked to call the Coos County Sheriff’s Office at 541396-7830
grant. Two weeks before the deadline for the big grant, they approached NeighborWorks in Douglas County. WealthWorks liked the tri-county collaboration so much that it gave them $75,000 more than the $300,000 originally promised. Food projects like this fit in with the goals of WealthWorks, whose philosophy is to create wealth in communities rather than encouraging outside development. The organization was started by the Ford Foundation, although many other national and regional partners have since joined it.

In the hall are “My Favorites,” the paintings of Phyllis Morey, a pianist who began painting with oils in the 1980s, then expanded to include acrylics in the 1990s. While living in Boise, Idaho, Morey became a member of the Centennial Art Group, exhibiting work at Boise State University Library and other local venues. Now a resident of Bandon, she paints with the Bandon Plein Air Painters and has shown her paintings at Coos Art Museum and Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center. Inspired by the Impressionists, she seeks to capture and create a wide range of colors. In the cases are “Slippers by the Sea,” felted slippers in a range of colors and sizes, made by the knitters at the local shop, “Stranded by the Sea” using an original process dubbed “Felfs” by its creator, Cat Bordhi.

SWOCC celebrates 50 years of music
C OOS BAY — In September 1964, Southwestern Oregon Community College’s first music professor, Frank Leuck, and the first president of the College, Wendell Van Loan, realized a vision that began the previous year — to create a music department at the newly formed college (which was only three Vendors needed for years old at the time). This craft faire endeavor culminated in Vendors are needed for the first annual Christmas Coastal Harvest gleaners’ concert on Sunday, Dec. 13,
1964. Fifty years later, the music department at SWOCC continues that tradition with its fall concert series at 7 each night Monday, Dec. 1, Tuesday, Dec. 2, and Wednesday, Dec. 3, in the Hales Center for Performing Arts. Celebrating 50 years of music at SWOCC, the symphonic choir, community orchestra, vocal jazz ensemble, and the jazz combo will perform a variety of works for large and small ensembles. Admission to all concerts is free, but donations to help support the music department will be accepted. In addition, the Music Club will be collecting non-perishable food items for SWOCC’s annual Van Jam, which is part of the community Bus Jam. Boxes will be placed in the foyer of the PAC. The SWOCC symphonic choir, under the direction of David Aakre, will perform a number of works for large chorus including some holiday favorites and excerpts from Handel’s Messiah at 7 p.m. Monday Dec. 1. The choir consists of about 45 members mostly from the community with a few SWOCC students performing with the choir as well. The SWOCC orchestra, under the direction of Mark Allen, will perform Mozart’s Symphony No. 25 at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2. Also performing will be the Pacifica String Quartet, with a variety of works. The orchestra consists of approximately 20 members from the community and student body with the concertmaster of the orchestra being second year music student Rolly Toribio. At 7 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 3, is jazz night at the college with the SWOCC vocal jazz ensemble, under the direction of Charlotte Pierce and accompanied on piano by Sarah Kimball, performing a variety of Jazz works for multiple voices and percussion. Also performing will be the SWOCC jazz combo, under the direction of professor Mike Turner, performing a variety of jazz standards, including a new composition by Turner. In addition to the above concerts, the SWOCC music department-sponsored Bay Area Community Concert Band is performing its winter concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, at North Bend First Presbyterian Church next to the Pony Village Mall. For more information, contact Turner at 541-8887241 or mturner@socc.edu.

Harvest

explained. Crocker said 2013 was the largest crop on record. This year, while Oregon’s crop was up, in Wisconsin, the highest producerof cranberries, the crop was down 4 to 5 percent. “That could impact our pricing and commodity pricing might also be impacted,” Crocker said. There are approximately 80 Ocean Spray growers along Oregon’s South Coast. The coop is owned 100 percent by its growers, and all proceeds are distributed to growers at the end of the year, Crocker said. A significant amount of money is put into marketing and product development, which also benefits growers. But independent growers don’t have those advantages. They must find their own buyers, which can change yearly, and often don’t have the capital to develop new products or markets. To get a higher price for their berries, many independent Bandon growers this year drypicked — a method used when the industry first began that was later replaced with the wetharvest method commonly used today. Wet-harvesting involves flooding the bog, then shaking the berries off the vines with a beater — equipment that agitates the berries as it is driven through the bog. Berries rise to the top, where they are corralled with boom sticks, then fed up a conveyer into waiting trucks.
The crop is delivered to a local receiving plant, where they are cleaned and prepared for processing. Oregon berries are prized for their color and high sugar content, the result of a long growing season, and are used mainly in juice. Dry-picking is more profitable because the berries are sold into the fresh fruit market, which generally bears a higher price. Some growers have invested in expensive machinery to speed up the dry-picking process, which used to be done by hand. This year in Bandon, a small percentage of independent growers sold to the Oregon Cranberry Company, owned by the Russell family, and those berries were sold to another buyer, and can now be found at Costco warehouses throughout the Northwest. Other independent growers over the years have come up with innovative products to remain competitive in the market that is dominated by Ocean Spray, which enjoys approximately 55 percent of the market share. Vincent Family Cranberries, for example, developed a line of cranberry juices and dried cranberries that utilizes more cranberry juice concentrate than is typically found in juices produced by major companies.Typically,major cranberry juice products are less than 10 percent cranberry juice mixed with apple juice, often sourced from China.

And like so many other independent harvesters, McKenzie has been forced to compete with international corporations such as Ocean Spray, which has the advantage of shipping its Canadian product to China through Canada, a country whose government had no qualms issuing the certificate. “It really irritated me because the rest of the world was shipping product but the USDA wouldn’t cooperate,” McKenzie said. “There’s a country sitting across the pond with a billion and a half people. It would be nice to ship them some cranberries.” Fueled by years of exasperation, McKenzie got the ball rolling by reaching out to elected officials, but it was Curry County Commissioners David Itzen and David Brock Smith, along with Dennis Hannapel of the Oregon
Department of Agriculture and others at the ODA and the USDA, who worked together steadfastly to change the policy. The change affects more than the little sour red berries, it extends to blueberries and strawberries.What’s more, producers in both Idaho and Washington also now benefit from the regulatory shift. “When they wanted to push this through, I wasn’t very optimistic at all because the USDA kept throwing up roadblocks and had shot this down several times,” McKenzie said. “I figured it was just a waste of time but I met with Dennis and he assured me he thought he could get this done.” Part of the process included Smith attending the White House Rural Council’s “Made in Rural America Regional Forum” with delegates from China

this change is going to help exports down in that part of the state.” Now, the changes mean the process is as simple as an inspector from Medford writing the inspection for a nominal fee. Itzen credits Hannapel and his trade policy skills with really facilitating the entire endeavor, noting that changes really occurred when the state of Oregon, the DOA and the states of Idaho and Washington were pulled into the equation. “That’s when a restrictive, nonresponsive system turned into what seems to be a very productive one,” Itzen said. McKenzie said that because of the huge surplus and current depressed
market, cranberries have become a less valued crop, but these changes in restrictions could help an independent farmer like himself increase profits by as much as 300 percent. Itzen said a much bigger victory came out of trying to help one constituent in a county that’s very economically challenged. “I think Coos County is really going to benefit from this,” Itzen said. “It certainly will be beneficial for both counties and across the state of Oregon.” Cranberries rank 23rd among Oregon’s top 50 agricultural commodities. Farmers in Curry County account for 40 percent of all cranberries produced in the state.

in attendance who were invited there by McKenzie, the Curry County commissioners and the ODA. There, Smith also met with Phil Karsting, administrator of the Foreign Agricultural Service of the USDA. For his part, Hannapel, who has an extensive background as a trade specialist and was the regional director of the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Health Service, pulled constituents from Idaho and Washington into the mix. “I don’t think anyone pushed it hard enough before and it got pushed on many fronts,” Hannapel said. “The USDA just realized their policy was impeding trade.

Shop a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. The Visitor Center will remain open late Saturday, Nov. 29, for the Night of 10,000 Lights event. Since 2009, the program has seen a growing number o f enthusiasts, includi n g visitors f r o m nearby towns a n d e v e n 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.
Robert McKenzie of Wild Rivers Fruit in Curry County,has pressured for legislation that allows farmers to sell to Chinese markets with fewer restrictions (see related story). Jackson also believes that China and other foreign markets are potential alternatives for independent growers. Dennis Bowman, another Bandon grower, is having success selling what he calls Grandpa Jack’s cranberry syrup, a product that can be used on pancakes, ice cream and even chicken, or mixed with water to make juice. It takes about 20 pounds of cranberries to make one bottle of Grandpa Jack’s Cranberry Syrup, which sells for $10 a bottle. Bowman says it’s not going to make a huge impact on his profits, but it does give him another avenue for his berries. The Tobiska family has been in the business since 1996 and own 12 acres of bogs. Like many growers along the South Coast, the industry has afforded them a comfortable living until the market started to drop about five years ago. Now, as with many other growers, cranberry farming is a side job to regular employment. “It’s really sad how the industry is doing,” said Lacey Jackson, Jim Jackson’s daughter-inlaw. “I think the days of generations of cranberry growers are over. There just doesn’t seem to be a future in it anymore.”

Bandon’s assessed value increases from last year BANDON — Between last fiscal year 2013-2014 and the current fiscal year 2014-2015, Bandon’s total assessed value increased by 2.1 percent, from $417,709,626 to $426,671,168. According to City Manager Matt Winkel, during that same period, Bandon’s total real market value actually decreased slightly, from $508,658,470 to $508,519,609. Bandon’s 2.1 percent assessed valuation growth was lower than the Coos County total annual growth of 2.9 percent, and was less than the assessed valuation growth in all other cities in Coos County which ranged from 2.3 to 5.9 percent, Winkel said. None of those other cities
experienced a decline in the total real market value. Property taxes are based on the assessed value of properties within the city. The assessed value of a property has typically been much lower than its real market value, both of which are calculated by the Coos County assessor. Oregon Measure 50 restricts the maximum increase in assessed value for existing land and structures to 3 percent per year, plus increases due to new construction. Although the rate of decline has slowed significantly, this marks at least the third year in a row that Bandon’s total real market value has declined, Winkel said.

More than half of the members of the Southern Oregon Coast Runners earned the right to participate in Junior Olympics national finals for cross country with their finishes in the regional meet at Seattle over the weekend. Several of the runners on the team are from the Bandon area. The tough course at Lower Woodland Park was more challenging than the earlier state meet in Monmouth, but the South Coast runners finished well. The top 30 runners in each race, as well as the top five teams, qualified for the national competition in Myrtle Beach, S.C., though some may not try to make the long trip for the Dec. 13 event. Aida Santoro was the top finisher for the Southern Oregon Coast Runners, placing third in the 15-16 girls division. Santoro covered the 5,000-meter course in 20 minutes and 55 seconds. Shelby Tobiska was seventh (22:51) and Elizabeth Myers 10th (25:16) in the same age group. In the 15-16 boys race, Zane Olive was 20th (19:04), Zach Lathrom 25th (19:17) and Joshua Bruce 31st (21:09). The toughest divisions were the 13-14 age groups. In the 4,000-meter boys race, Josh Snyder was ninth (14:20) and Hunter Hutton 17th (14:24). The 13-14 girls team just missed a spot at nationals, placing sixth. Avelina Gaston was 34th (16:57), Aneykah McCall 54th (17:46), Hunter Grove 65th (18:19), Carrie Harris 69th (18:32) and Kestrel

The 17-18 boys division was small, with Hayden Wiley placing 11th (20:36) and Gabriel Castelli 12th (21:54). Nathan Hoffman improved by 23 seconds from his time in the state meet, finishing 13th in 23:53, which was impressive given the challenging nature of the course. In the 9-10 girls race, Allison Storts was 12th (13:58) for 3,000 meters. Montanah Love was 21st (14:27), Holly Hutton 29th (14:57) and Aunika Miller 30th (15:32).

In the 11-12 age group, Brede Gaston was 37th for girls (13:01), while Soren Gustafson was 47th for boys (12:26) and Eamon Gustafson 61st (12:58). In the 8-and-under girls race, Analise Miller was 13th in 9:40 for 2,000 meters. Sawyer Heckard, who used to run for the team, but now runs for the Bowerman Athletic Club was fifth in the 15-16 divi-
sion in 17:43. The regional meet followed the state meet at Monmouth, another successful effort for the Southern Oregon Coast Runners. Sailor Hutton led the 13-14 girls team to second place by taking third in the race in 14:32.
