Coos County
Dedicates Memorial
Garden
The Coos County Board of
Commissioners dedicated a Memorial Garden located in front of
the Courthouse on Wednesday,
June 5, 2013. The Memorial
Garden was dedicated to the
memory of two County Commissioners that recently passed away
while in office, Andy Jackson

we had a tangible memorial to
Commissioner Jackson and Commissioner Whitty.”
Missing Driver
Arrested
The driver sought since a May
30 injury traffic crash east of
Coos Bay was arrested Tuesday
after he turned himself in to Oregon State Police (OSP) at the
Coos Bay Area Command office.
The suspect came to the OSP

came to the OSP office and contacted the lead investigator, Senior Trooper Freddie Dunlap. Following an interview, SMITH was
taken into custody and lodged in
the Coos County Jail for Misdemeanor Driving While Suspended, Reckless Driving, Hit
and Run - Property Damage, and
Criminal Mischief in the First
Degree. He was also cited for
two traffic violations. On May
30, 2013 at approximately 8:29
p.m., a 2003 Chevrolet Blazer
sport utility vehicle driven by

Santiam Junction Accident
A Bandon-area man is facing multiple charges following an alcohol-involved serious injury
single vehicle crash that occurred overnight at the Santiam Pass junction of Highway 126
and Highway 20. The man and his 5-year old son received non-life threatening injuries for
which they are being treated at a Bend hospital. According to Oregon State Police (OSP)
Senior Trooper Jason Hansen, on June 8, 2013 at approximately 5:00 a.m., OSP and local
emergency responders were notified of a single vehicle crash scene spotted off the highway
at the Santiam Junction in Linn County. Upon arrival, emergency responders found an adult
male and 5-year old boy with possible serious injuries in a 1994 Ford Explorer sport utility
vehicle. After removal from the vehicle, they were taken by ground ambulance to St. Charles
Medical Center in Bend for treatment. Initial investigation indicates on Friday evening, June
7, JEREMY LEE WARD, age 31, from Bandon, left his home with his 5-year old son, TROY
WARD, in the Ford Explorer. The child's mother told OSP she contacted Coos County Sheriff's Office because she was concerned for her son's welfare and that the father, JEREMY
WARD, had been drinking before leaving in the vehicle. Hansen estimates that between 3:30
a.m. and 4:30 a.m., the vehicle was eastbound when it traveled off the highway without braking and launched off a gravel berm, flying in the air for about 25 yards before crashing down
an embankment onto lava rocks. Neither occupant is believed to have been using safety restraints. The crash scene was spotted by a passing motorist. JEREMY WARD was cited by
OSP to appear in Linn County Circuit Court on the following charges: * DUII; * Reckless
Driving; * Recklessly Endangering Another Person; * Assault in the Third Degree; * Driving
While Suspended; * Driving Uninsured; * Failure to Seat Belt a Child Passenger.

Conservation Groups
File Suit to Clean Up
Coalbank Slough
Two conservation groups, one local
and one coastwide, Thursday, June
6, filed a civil lawsuit in federal
court to enforce the Clean Water
Act for the protection of Coalbank
Slough and the Coos Bay estuary.
The lawsuit filed by Coos Waterkeeper and the Oregon Shores
Conservation Coalition arises from
an alleged failed grading and fill
project that reportedly dumped
about 1,500 cubic yards of spoils
into an important habitat area, and
has left as much as 23,000 cubic
yards of potentially unstable material at risk of also surging into the
slough. Last spring, resident Mike
Martin woke in the middle of the
night to the sound of rumbling earth
and trees crashing down into Coalbank Slough, an arm of Coos Bay
in front of Martin’s house. It was
not an earthquake, but a landslide
that started from the alleged failed
landfill on property uphill from
Martin’s house and the slough. It's
alleged that a contractor had been
dumping and grading material excavated from a construction project
on the neighboring upslope property. When the fill failed, approximately 1,500 cubic yards of soil,
asphalt, pipe, netting, and other
construction debris allegedly careened down the hill, across Mike’s
Bay Area Weekly June 12, 2013 Pg. 3
property, and into the tidal slough.
What debris was not swept down in
the landslide remains perched precariously on the hillside above the
slough. When Mike Martin saw the
extent of the material in the slough,
he was concerned about the bay and
the fish that live in it. “I realized
that if I don’t stand up for the fish
and other creatures in the bay, no
one else will,” Martin explained.
Martin is a member of Coos Waterkeeper, the local arm of the national Waterkeeper Alliance, and
sought the organization’s help.
Coos Waterkeeper’s mission is to
support projects that revitalize our
south coast economy, protect and
restore water quality and fish populations in the Coos Bay basin
through enforcement, field work
and community action. Coos Waterkeeper in turn reached out to the
Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, a regional organization with a
40-year history of working with
land use planning and water quality
laws to protect coastal resources.
Coos Waterkeeper and Oregon
Shores, represented by the Crag
Law Center, filed the citizen suit
after the contractor appeared to
have allegedly resisted enforcement
attempts by the Department of Environmental Quality. “We have
been very supportive of DEQ’s
enforcement efforts, but too much
time has passed and nothing has
been done to clean up the debris or
rehabilitate the slough,” says David
Petrie, Coos Waterkeeper. “It’s
time to hold those responsible for
this pollution accountable for their
actions.” The lawsuit names the
contractor and the property owners
as defendants. Coalbank Slough
provides habitat for fish and aquatic
organisms, including salmonid fish
species that are listed on the federal
Endangered Species List. Several
listed species, including eulachon,
Oregon Coast coho salmon, and
green sturgeon inhabit the slough.
Sediment and other pollution in the
water can bury areas that fish use
for breeding and foraging, obstruct
their migration, and raise water
temperatures.
Under the Clean
Water Act, individual citizens or
groups may bring an action against
an alleged violator. The citizen suit
provision of the Clean Water Act
serves to supplement both state and
federal government enforcement
actions so that all citizens can protect the waters they care about and
depend upon. “Estuaries and their

restoration work.
associated sloughs and wetlands are
vital coastal ecosystems,” says Phillip Johnson, executive director of
the Oregon Shores Conservation
Coalition. “This kind of damage to
the estuary, if allowed to continue
unabated, harms both the natural
and human communities. We’re
delighted to work with Coos Waterkeeper to get this situation
cleaned up.”

“denitrification” accelerated by 30
to 120 percent, a new international
study shows, creating oxygen-poor
marine regions and throwing the
oceanic nitrogen cycle off balance.
By the end of the deglaciation,
however, the oceans had adjusted to
their new warmer state and the nitrogen cycle had stabilized – though
it took several millennia. Recent
increases in global warming,
thought to be caused by human
activities, are raising concerns that
denitrification may adversely affect
marine environments over the next
few hundred years, with potentially
significant effects on ocean food
webs. Results of the study have
been published this week in the
journal Nature Geoscience. It was
supported by the National Science
Foundation.
Stranded Whales not
always Related
Haunting images of whales strewn
across beaches turn up all too often
in the news. So far, scientists have
little hard data to solve the enigma
of mass whale strandings, although
hypotheses abound. One of those
hypotheses — that family bonds
play into the stranding phenomenon
— is now subject to question, based
on genetic analysis of hundreds of
beached whales in New Zealand
and Australia. The mothers of
beached calves, for instance, often
were missing entirely from the
beach, says cetacean researcher
Scott Baker, associate director of
the Marine Mammal Institute at
Oregon State's Hatfield Marine
Science Center in Newport. Given
whales’ strong kinship bonds, this
familial separation could signal
some disruption prior to the stranding — a disruption that could, in
fact, play a role in triggering the
event. “Rescue efforts aimed at
‘refloating’ stranded whales often
focus on placing stranded calves
with the nearest mature female” on
the assumption she’s the mother,
Baker says. “Our results suggest
that rescuers should be cautious
when making difficult welfare decisions … based on this assumption
alone.”

Wills, co-owner of Restaurant Beck
at the Whale Cove Inn in Depoe
Bay, OR follows in the footsteps of
Portland chef Gregory Gourdet,
who bested fifteen other chefs from
around the U.S. to win the prestigious event last summer and earn the
title “King of American Seafood
2012.” Wills, an Iowa native and a
graduate of The Culinary Institute
of America in Hyde Park, N.Y., has
developed a strong affinity for the
‘wild and indigenous’ ingredients
featured prominently in ‘local’
menus favored in the region, and as
a coastal resident, is no stranger to
the state’s fresh seafood bounty.
He is also no stranger to the praise
and accolades bestowed on chefs of
his caliber, having been a James
Beard Foundation semi-finalist for
Best Chef in the Northwest in both
2012 and 2013, and voted People’s
Choice Best New Chef Northwest
in 2010 by Food & Wine Magazine.
“Justin has a unique sense of forward thinking creativity when it
comes to cooking,” said Chef Gourdet from his kitchen at Departure
Restaurant + Lounge in Portland.
“He’s a real champion of Oregon
products with the culinary skills to
do well in New Orleans this summer.” “Oregon is fortunate to have
creative and entrepreneurial chefs
like Justin Wills helping to raise the
profile of our state’s agricultural
and seafood industries,” said Governor Kitzhaber. “We’re proud that
Chef Wills will be representing
Oregon and our abundance of delicious, regionally-sourced foods at
the GASCO competition.” Celebrating its 10th year as the ‘Super
Bowl of Seafood’, the GASCO is
held in conjunction with the Louisiana Foodservice Expo and presented by the Louisiana Seafood
Promotion and Marketing Board.
Oregon’s entry is being sponsored
by Seafood OREGON – the Oregon
Albacore, Dungeness Crab, Salmon
and Trawl Commissions – four
commodity commissions that operate under the umbrella of the Oregon Department of Agriculture.

Four Adults Arrested

Assay developed to
rapidly detect
disease that hurt
oyster industry
Scientists in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Oregon State University have developed a new, inexpensive and precise way to detect
the toxin secreted by Vibrio tubiashii, a bacterial disease that a few
years ago caused millions of dollars
in losses to the oyster aquaculture
industry in the Pacific Northwest.
When perfected and commercialized, the new assay should give
oyster growers an early warning
system to tell when they have a
problem with high levels of this
toxin and must take quick steps to
address it. Findings were just published in the Journal of Microbiological Methods. V. tubiashii has
caused major problems for oyster
growers in recent years, especially
in 2007 when a major outbreak
almost crippled the industry. When
the bacteria and the toxin it produces reach unacceptably high levels, they can kill the tiny seed oysters before they have a chance to
grow.
Fish and Wildlife
Commission sets fall
chinook and wild
coho seasons for
coastal rivers
The Oregon Fish and Wildlife
Commission Thursday, June 6, approved the upcoming coastal fall
salmon seasons, including several
fisheries for wild coho, at its meeting in Tigard. For several years
now, returns of Oregon coastal wild
coho salmon have been strong
enough to support limited harvest
of wild coho. Under the regulations
adopted today, anglers will again be
able to harvest wild coho from the
Nehalem, Tillamook, Nestucca,
Siletz, Yaquina, Alsea, Siuslaw,
Umpqua, Coos and Coquille rivers
and Tenmile lakes. New experimental coho fisheries will also occur in Beaver Cr. (Lincoln Co.) and
Floras Cr. (Curry Co.). Most begin
on Sept. 15 and continue through
November, with some exceptions.
Also new for 2013 are plans to conduct some coho fisheries based on
conservative bag limits and seasons

but without numeric targets or
“quotas.” “Based on our experiences with the wild coho fisheries
in recent years, we’re confident we
can structure some fisheries based
on conservative season dates and
bag limits, while remaining well
within the ESA and conservation
needs for wild coho,” said Chris
Kern, ODFW ocean salmon manager. Some coho fisheries will remain quota-driven, and may close
before the scheduled end date if the
quotas are met earlier than expected. All proposed coho fisheries
must be reviewed and approved by
NOAA. The Commission also approved seasons for fall chinook that
are very similar to 2012. Bag limits
and area closures will be managed
under permanent regulations for
most South Coast rivers. On North
Coast Rivers the daily bag limit of
non fin-clipped chinook also will be
two. However, because returns to
some North Coast rivers continue to
lag, the recent 10 fish seasonal aggregate limit will continue. A complete description of the 2013 coastal
salmon seasons, including open
areas and wild coho quotas (as applicable), can be found on the
ODFW website. The Commission
also approved $1,019,164 in funding for eight restoration and 15 enhancement projects recommended
by the Fish Restoration and Enhancement Board. Among the projects approved is the continued
funding of creel surveys to support
the coastal wild coho fisheries. The
Commission also re-adopted the
Columbia River fish management
and reform rules it adopted in December 2012. These rules modify
non-tribal commercial and recreational fisheries in the Columbia
River and its tributaries and establish management measures for future fisheries. The Commission
revisited the rules in order to con-

sider updated fiscal information,
provide additional time for public
input and address alleged deficiencies in either the process or economic analysis. Among the measures re-adopted are the barbless
hook requirement on the Columbia
River and selected tributaries, and

on the Columbia River below Bonneville dam, the Willamette River
and in all coastal waters beginning
Jan. 1, 2014.

Attempt to Elude
Two men, both registered sex offenders, were arrested by Oregon
State Police (OSP) troopers, with
the assistance of Eugene Police
Department, late Monday night
following an attempt to elude off
Beltline Road and Northwest Expressway. During the incident, a
loaded handgun was found inside
the vehicle from which the passenger fled on foot before he was
caught by police. On June 3, 2013
at approximately 11:35 p.m., an
OSP trooper was conducting a traffic stop westbound on Beltline
Road near Northwest Expressway.
While standing next to the stopped
vehicle, a passenger car failed to
move over into the next lane as it
passed the trooper. The trooper got
back in his patrol car and pulled out
to stop the vehicle. After activating
overhead emergency lights, the
vehicle sped up and took the Northwest Expressway off ramp where
its driver lost control due to high
speed. As the vehicle braked, it
went straight through the stop sign
and across the expressway lanes
into grass. After coming to a stop,
both front doors opened and the
passenger fled on foot. The trooper
detained the driver at gunpoint until
assisting officers from Eugene Police Department and OSP arrived.
A search of the area also led to the
arrest of the passenger a short time
later. While searching the driver,
identified as JASON LEE BRANDNER, age 32, from Eugene, the
trooper discovered a gun holster
tucked into the back of his pants. A
loaded handgun was later found
inside the vehicle. A small amount
of methamphetamine and other
evidence believed associated with
BRANDNER was also seized.
BRANDNER was lodged in the
Lane County Jail on the following
charges:
* Felony Attempt to
Elude in a Vehicle; * Felon in Possession of a Firearm; * Reckless
Driving; * Recklessly Endangering
Another Person; * Misdemeanor

the victim didn't call a "James

issue another warrant for his arrest.
The victim said the caller knew the
last four digits of the victim's social
security number. The victim provided his bank account number to
the caller, but because there was
insufficient funds to cover the full
amount demanded by the caller, the
victim borrowed $150 and purchased a Green Dot MoneyPak
card. The victim then called "James

information and was told if he didn't pay the remaining amount then
another warrant would be issued for
