DeFazio Says it’s up to SmithBy Evan Kramer

Congressman Peter DeFazio held a townhall meeting in Port Orford last Wednes-day and played to a packed house at cityhall.

He began the meeting with a summary ofissues including the war in Iraq. He re-ferred to President Bush’s recent pressconference on the war and said that Bush’sstatement that we will be staying in Iraqindefinitely was the wrong message.DeFazio said we needed to draw downour forces in Iraq. He said that countryneeded to solve their own differences.

He said the recent arrest of several terror-ist suspects in Britain was a good way ofdoing things. He said this country need-ed machines to test liquids that go onplanes as well as a device to test personswho have used explosives recently orwho have them on them.

He said only 5% of the cargo containerscoming into this country from overseaswere inspected and the Democrats hadoffered an amendment to screen 100% ofthe containers from overseas He contin-ued that among others Wal-Mart didn’twant it so it didn’t get passed.

DeFazio spoke about oil company prof-its which have gone from $34 billion in

2002 to $113 billion this year. He hasintroduced a bill to re-impose the wind-fall profits tax on the oil companies butthey can get around that if they reinvestin new technology, new fuels and build-ing new refineries. DeFazio offered achart which showed how gas prices couldbe reduced from $3.10 a gallon to $2.13.He said 62 cents per gallon could besaved by regulating the crude oil marketand eliminating speculation and another35 cents could be saved by expanding therefinery capacity.

DeFazio then opened up the meeting toquestions beginning with one from ScottLuhr, Port Commission chairman. Heexplained to DeFazio about the shoalingproblem at the Port and that our windowto dredge the Port is narrowing. He saidthe Port employs 10% of the people inPort Orford and without dredging we’refacing closing the Port. He told DeFaziowe need help getting the different agen-cies to work together to get the dredgingdone. DeFazio said he was perfectly will-ing to help and urged Luhr to speak withhis aid Carmen Fore with more of thedetails which Luhr had already done.

Curry County Commissioner Lucie La-Bonte noted that the dredge barge Sand-wick is mothballed and asked about get-ting it back in service. DeFazio said hewould do everything he can but we were

fighting the influence of the private dredg-ing industry.

DeFazio was asked how serious electionfraud was and he said we don’t know butthe potential is vast. He said it was ab-surd we don’t require a paper ballot to gowith the electronic voting machines. Healso said there are no federal standardsfor voting and that they are made on astate level.

DeFazio was questioned about the boom-ing economy. He said we borrow $1.4billion a day or $500 billion a year to runour government. He said half the debt isbeing bought by foreign interests. Hesaid that the Bush administration hasaccumulated more foreign debt than allother Presidents in history. He went on totalk about the amount of goods that areproduced in China that are pirated fromthe United States.

The fate of the Copper Salmon Wilder-ness proposal was directed to DeFazio.He said if Senator Gordon Smith wouldagree to it, it would be in the wildernessbill. He continued that if the Democratsget control of Congress this NovemberCopper Salmon will be in the next year’swilderness bill. This year it’s up to Sen-ator Smith. If Copper Salmon gets in theSenate Bill it would then be “confer-

enceable” since it was not included in theHouse Wilderness Bill which was re-cently passed.

DeFazio talked about the current salmonfishery disaster with the closure of mostof the salmon season. He said we need tofix or forget about the Klamath River. Heexplained the big problem with the Kla-math is the diversion of cold TrinityRiver water to the south instead of itflowing into the Klamath.

DeFazio said if the Democrats get con-trol of the House he would get a goodcommittee chairmanship. He is part ofthe 62 member progressive caucus in theHouse and said they planned to use pres-sure to promote their ideas if the Demo-crats take control, just as a group of some50 ultra conservative Republicans areexerting now on Congress.

DeFazio was asked about the high andlow points in his near 20 years in theHouse of Representatives and repliedthat the high point was last year’s pas-sage of the Transportation Bill (official-

ly known as the Safe, Accountable, Flex-ible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act:A Legacy for Users), and the low pointwas the House vote for the war in Iraqwhich he said has turned out worse thanhe could have predicted. He was veryproud of his participation in the Trans-portation bill which resulted in Oregonreceiving more money in federal high-way funds than it contributes in federalgas taxes. The bill will bring $2.7 billionto Oregon for highway and transit projectsfrom 2005-2010 and create over 127,000jobs.

The dapper and fit looking DeFazio isrunning for an eleventh term in Congressand is not in what is considered a “con-tested” race.

The board begins their agenda with com-ments from the public and was askedabout the status of the base (meter) rate,

energy conservation program and out-sourcing. Board chairman Daryl Robi-son said something would be done on therates by October but the rates need to betrued up by the Bonneville Power Ad-ministration. He said the board supportsan energy conservation program. He saidthe board hasn’t taken any action on theprograms which have been outsourcedbut before they do they need to know thecost effectiveness.

Rick Hazard asked about a solar rebateprogram for residential and business us-ers. General Manager Werner Buehlersaid the Coop has an existing policy topurchase solar power. Hazard estimatedit would cost between $15,000 and$20,000 for a solar system inter-tie withthe Coop

Don Jensen told the board that the Ore-gon Legislature passed a bill in 1981 thatall publicly owned utilities have to par-ticipate in weatherization programs (ORS469.651). He said that law had not beenrescinded.

The board approved the consent calen-dar with one dissenting vote from boardmember Gary Schlottman. He didn’t likethe way the list of general and operatingchecks was presented to the board andsaid he wanted more information on thembefore voting. Werner Buehler will in-clude a “key” to accompany the next listof checks and explain them better.

Werner Buehler under payroll expensestold the board the Coop is spending moremoney to maintain the system than build-ing the system. He said when you capital-ize you’re building your asset.

Frank Corrales gave the Form 7 financialreport. Net income before tax throughthe first seven months of this year is$2.657 million. The budgeted net in-come was $.889 million for the firstseven months. Net income for July was$261,000 while net budgeted incomewas $119,000.

Under staff reports Board member DavidItzen said the Coop was short a linemanwhich he described as a serious problem.Board member John Herzog said he no-

ticed Jensen Tree Service doing morework in the southern end of the Coop andBuehler told him they were picking updeferred maintenance.

Daryl Robison reported on the strategicplanning meeting held in Gold Beachtwo weeks ago. He said he was veryencouraged by the discussion and de-scribed some of the items discussed asthe meter charge, financial impact of anychanges so the board can plan appropri-ately, the power true up from Bonnevillewhich is needed before any adjustmentscan be made, the Round Up program,cash flow, meeting locations, capital cred-it retirements and power supply which hedescribed as the most important on thelist.

The policy review committee consistingof all board members is working on sev-eral policies including line extension andrecords access.

The board discussed the monthly safetyreport and Gary Schlottman asked aboutreimbursement for a Bow-Flex machine.Buehler told him the Coop pays employ-ees to stay healthy and the purchase wasmade under the health and wellness pro-

gram. Buehler said the Coop has a selfinsurance program so it pays for employ-ees to be healthy.

John Herzog made a motion to accept thedescription of duties and responsibilitiesfor the board chairman as amended and itpassed unanimously.

The board discussed the upcoming bud-get and budget workshops. Buehler saidthere were significant issues and the boardshould cover chunks of it separately cul-minating in a final workshop where thebudget is voted on. He said the transmis-sion line to Brookings is the number oneissue. Daryl Robison suggested the boardset a date for conclusion of these items.Monday, November 13 was set as thedate for the final budget hearing andconclusion of the process. We’ll knowby that date if there is going to be areduction in the base meter rate or not.

The board will hold member meetings inall four districts throughout the year.They will include question and answersessions with the public. All board mem-bers are invited to attend but it is notmandatory. There will be a meeting ineach district once a year.

Daryl Robison spoke of including a let-ter from the board in with the next bill-ing. It will be a report to the members andinclude a schedule of events. The boardnext meets on Friday, September 29,10:00am.

County Zoning ChangeCurry County is considering amendmentsto the Curry County Comprehensive Planand Curry County Zoning Ordinance thatwill allow two (2) acre lots or parcels inthe Rural Residential (RR) zones. Thematter will be before the Curry CountyBoard of Commissioners for a publichearing that is scheduled for Tuesday,September 5, at 1:30 pm in the Commis-sioners’ Hearing Room, CourthouseAnnex, 94235 Moore Street, Gold Beach,Oregon.

The proposed ordinance and text amend-ments may be found on the County’swebsite at http://www.co.curry.or.us/under “Recent and Proposed OrdinanceChanges.” The location of parcels thatare most likely to be affected by theordinance may be found on the “CurryCounty GIS Enterprise, Assessor’s Of-fice.” The parcels that were identifiedhave a zoning designation of Rural Res-idential (either RR-10 or RR-5); are of asize between 4 and 10 acres; were withina Rural Exception area as of February1989; and are not in an urban growthboundary.

Letter to the editor,On Sept. 5, the county commissionerswill again consider their proposal toweaken our county general plan. In placefor 24 years, this public document hasguided growth with little conflict and hasserved us well. But the proposal wouldexpedite suburbanization of rural areaswhere homesites are now zoned for 5 or10 acres.

At a time when county government isbroke, the new proposal would add totaxpayer costs by increasing the needsfor roads, services, and public safety. Ata time when wildfires are worsening, theproposal would heighten hazards by pro-moting development in remote areas. Itwould make our county less rural andmore suburban—less like it is and morelike everyplace else. It would diminishthe property values of people who don’twant to live amid rural sprawl.

If you have any questions or need addi-tional information, please contact DavidPratt, Curry County Public Services/Plan-ning Director at (541) 247-3304 or at myemail address (prattd@co.curry.or.us).

At the commissioners’ first hearing, onlytwo people spoke in favor of the change—both realtors from Brookings. Our orga-nization of 175 members spoke againstthe change, itemized our concerns, andasked questions. We received no re-sponse.

They said that only developed areas areaffected, but in fact the change applies to8,000 acres—all of them outside exist-ing urban growth boundaries.

Curry County already has enough landzoned for development to accommodatemany times the total county population.Our plan was carefully written with widepublic participation; to weaken it is toweaken our future and to erode our prop-erty values. We urge the commissionersto table this wasteful, ill-conceived, andindefensible proposal and get back to thebusiness of running our county well.

Also included isa short history of the town of Port Orford,plus brief histories of the six participat-ing churches.

The cookbook is in a three-ring-binderand comes with a plastic easel (inside thefront cover) which can be used to holdthe book up-right when cooking. Whennot in use, the easel fits back into thethree rings. The book sells for an afford-

able price of $14 or three for $40 (asavings of $2 off the regular price.) Allproceeds go to benefit local charities.

Just the FactsBy Tobe Porter, Director

The end of the fiscal year at Port OrfordPublic Library always brings about aflurry of reports, one of which is theOregon Public Library Statistical Re-port, filled with heady facts and figures.For example:

We were open 2,117 hours last year,during which time 22,766 people visitedand 27,217 items were checked out. Theincredibly knowledgeable front deskvolunteers and staff answered 3,175 ref-erence questions, just part of the dutiesperformed during the 3,311 hours ofvolunteer time. That’s right, 41 volun-teers gave 3,311 hours of their time to thePort Orford Public Library!

And that count is low because it does notinclude hours donated by the members ofthe Library and Foundation Boards orthe Friends group. I truly believe our

Picnic Potluck in the ParkPort Orford’s birthday party in the parkwill be held on Monday, September 4,from 1:00-4:00pm. The Port OrfordChamber of Commerce is providing thebarbecued tuna and the music. The PortOrford Arts Council is providing thebirthday cake, corn, water, utensils, cupsand plates. We ask the community toprovide the following depending on thelast name beginning with the followingletters:

A-D appetizer (chips, dips, crackers,and cheese

E-J side dish – hot or cold (salad,beans, bread and butter

K-N dessert

O-S drinks (non alcoholic)

T-Z ice

Portion size to feed 15 people. Last yearthere were about 150 people for the bar-becue. Don’t forget to bring serving uten-sils and label your own dish. Come jointhe fun in the park and celebrate PortOrford.

volunteers are the backbone of our li-brary (the 3-member paid staff also do-nate many hours each year). Speaking ofdonations, 485 donated items, valued at$9,021, were added to our collections.Thank you generous people for offset-ting our book and audio-visual budget.

We transacted 716 inter-library loans,providing our patrons with an even broad-er selection than can be found among the24,826 items housed in our jam-packedfacility. Believe it or not, the free publicInternet service was used 9,427 timesand 1,701 adults and children attendedour programs (many of which were co-sponsored with Langlois Library).

Thank you everyone for supporting PortOrford Public Library in so many ways.We look forward to many years of ser-vice, but just one more year in our cozyold library, and then look out—we willexperience a statistical explosion.

She released the following statementwhich has been edited for this paper.

It has been a pleasure and an honor toserve the citizens of Curry County. I amthankful to the citizens who invited myreturn in 2004. After seven years as pros-ecutor, I believe I have upheld the lawwith skill and integrity. I have also hadthe pleasure of working with some veryfine law enforcement officers, judgesand other officials.

When I took office in 2004, I receivedmany requests for change from law en-forcement officers, the courts and CurryCounty citizens. I am proud that with theassistance of the courts, other countyofficials, and my own skilled and compe-tent staff, many new policies, and proce-dures have been implemented over thelast two years.

I now look forward to the opening of mypractice in Brookings. As a prosecutor Iwas often exposed to the needs of thecommunity. I am excited at the prospectof working in a field where I can be evenmore effective and hopefully, provideassistance to those in need. My practicewill focus on protecting futures throughasset protection and estate planning, busi-ness and elder law. I am already settingappointments for October.

Finally, I do not leave the office withouta bright future. At least two highly qual-ified candidates will seek to obtain theposition. With my policies and proce-dures in place, the office should continueto serve the community.

Thank you again, Curry County for yoursupport and the privilege of serving asyour District Attorney. It has truly beenan honor.

Helmet Liner ProjectFor South Coast participants in theOregon National Guard helmet linerproject, the deadline has been extendedto September 15 to gather helmet liners

Movie NightFor 2006, the Oregon Coast CyclingFestival includes a Movie Night presentedby New Belgium Brewing Company. Thedoors will open at 6:00pm on Saturday,September 9, at the Curry ShowcaseBuilding at the Curry County Fairgroundsin downtown Gold Beach and the filmswill commence shortly after. Admissionis only $5.00 per person, and proceedsbenefit the Curry Health Foundation.Tickets will be sold at the door thatevening as well as during the day atFestival Headquarters at the CurryCounty Fairgrounds.

There will be a selection of films shownthroughout the evening, all keeping withthe bicycling theme of the CyclingFestival. The major feature of the night isthe 1979 Academy Award-winningmovie “Breaking Away” which will bepreceded by and followed by a few movieshorts. “Breaking Away” has beendescribed as a “refreshingly differentsports movie, never really following acompletely conventional path.” It earnedsolid critical acclaim back in 1979 (5Oscar nominations, including BestPicture). This one delivers almost strictlyon charm and the comical performancesof the stars, making this one of the moreentertaining movies of all time.

Also featured will be a collection of shortvideos from On The Road Productionsof San Francisco. These quick andcompelling movies “get you into the

head” of a cyclist. Also being shown thatevening will be scenes from the day’sFestival events featuring local cyclists aswell as those who have traveled to ourarea solely to enjoy the famous CurryCounty Coast.

New Belgium Brewing Company of FortCollins, Colorado, makes a selection offine hand-crafted beers including theofficial beer of the Organizing Committee- Fat Tire Ale. Throughout the eveningthere will be good and cold Fat Tire Aleas well as wine and non-alcoholicbeverages to quench your thirst alongwith some salty snacks to keep that thirsta-workin’.

“This is going to be a lot of fun for a greatcause, and could be a big deal in ourtown,” said Chip Weinert, Organizer ofthe Cycling Festival. “There haven’t beentoo many movies shown in Gold Beachsince the only movie theater burned downclose to a dozen years ago. If this issuccessful, we may start showing filmson a regular basis.”

Curry County ShootingAlthough the name of the victim of thismorning’s shooting has been confirmed,law enforcement has not been able tonotify his next of kin. His name willtherefore not be released at this time.

The incident took place at 01118 Win-chuck River Road, where Lawrence Ju-day and the victim were vacationing fromCalifornia. Evidence collected thus farindicates that the two long-time friendshad a verbal disagreement when shotswere fired. Evidence also indicates alco-hol was involved. The fatal wound ap-pears to be a gunshot wound to the vic-tim’s head. The Oregon State PoliceCrime Lab and representatives from theCurry County Major Crime Team con-tinue to investigate. Mr. Juday remainsin custody.

“A democracy cannot exist as a perma-nent form of government. It can onlyexist until the voters discover that theycan vote themselves money from thepublic treasure. From that moment onthe majority always votes for the candi-dates promising the most money fromthe public treasury, with the result that ademocracy always collapses over loosefiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.The average age of the world’s greatestcivilizations has been about two hundredyears. Those nations progressed throughthe following sequence: from bondage tospiritual faith, from spiritual faith to greatcourage, from courage to liberty, fromliberty to abundance, from abundance toselfishness, from selfishness to compla-cency from complacency to apathy, fromapathy to dependency, from dependencyback to bondage.”

The above was written by a Scottishhistory professor, Alexander Tyler, inthe 1700’s.
