JCnews.us All of our publications are now on our website. Click on the tabs for Bay Area Weekly, Pacific Coast Living, or Bay Area Police Gazette www.jcnews.us Contrary to early reports that proclaimed Oregon’s Dungeness crab fishery a ‘bust’ shortly after the twice-delayed season opened back in January, landings are approaching 17 million lbs. for the first twelve weeks of the eight and one half month-long season. Worth in excess of $43 million dollars to crabbers from Astoria to Brookings, the harvest has already exceeded the 2011/2012 season’s total of 14.2 million lbs., and is some 5 million lbs. above the long-term ‘average’, which is slightly above 12 million lbs. For the first time in years, fishermen in Brookings are at the front of the pack, with landings of 4.7 million lbs. worth $12.1 million dollars to the fleet in that coastal community on the southern Oregon coast. The ports of Newport, Astoria and Charleston round out the top four ports, from a production and catchvalue standpoint. The export market for live crab has cooled down somewhat, after a big expansion last year that pushed the ‘boat price’ of Dungeness up to previously unseen levels as the season progressed and landings decreased. Fortunately, the domestic market seems to be holding its own as word about the culinary merits of the West Coast’s favorite shellfish continues to resonate around the country. Calling it the “King of Crustaceans”, Bon Appétit magazine recently ranked Dungeness crab #20 on their list of 25 ‘food trends’ for 2013. Oregon’s Dungeness fishery is the only one in the range to have achieved Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification, the global standard for well-managed and sustainably harvested fisheries. This year’s ‘crop’ certainly lives up to the fishery’s well-earned reputation for healthy stocks and significant economic contributions to Oregon’s coastal economies. Mingus park memorial cross A standing room only audience crowded into the Coos Bay Public Library's large meeting room Tuesday night to hear a debate over the Vietnam Memorial Cross located on public property in Mingus Park. The Coos Bay City Council held the meeting after receiving a letter from an attorney in Wisconsin representing the organization, Freedom of Religion Foundation, that asked the Christianity Cross be removed. City Manager Rodger Craddock reported the Council had several avenues available to them in addressing the request. Remove the Cross, modify it, sell the land immediately under it, or donate the land. The City of Eugene underwent a similar challenge to a large cross that was located on Skinner Butte overlooking the city. It was finally moved to private land in West Eugene to appease those who were opposed to the religious symbol on public property. The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay’s Oregon Gateway Terminal Project for the North Spit of Coos Bay. Cross was placed in Mingus Park in 1972. State rejects Vietnam Veterans challenge to Port of Coos Bay’s Memorial in Mingus multi-purpose cargo Park slip permit The City of Coos Bay has retained the services of constitutional attorneys from the Liberty Institute to assess the constitutionality of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Mingus Park. Hiram Sasser, Director of Litigation at the Liberty Institute, contacted the City and offered to conduct the assessment and advise the City Council on its options regarding the memorial after learning the City had received a letter from the Freedom from Religion Foundation requesting the removal of the memorial as they believe its shape, a cross, is an unconstitutional endorsement of religion. Liberty Institute is the national law firm that represents The American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) across the country in legal challenges to veteran’s memorials because they have religious imagery. Liberty Institute has been representing the Legion for almost a decade on these issues. Liberty Institute successfully represented the VFW in the Salazar v. Buono Supreme Court case involving the VFW’s cross memorial in the Mojave Desert. The memorial was donated and placed in the park in 1972 by Western Bank and the Bay Area Jaycees. On October 19, 2010, Landy Marshall a former member of the Bay Area Jaycees who helped construct and install the memorial appeared before the City Council and requested that the City rehabilitate the memorial as the finish had deteriorated over the years due exposure to the weather. During the summer of 2011, city staff attempted to clean the memorial by pressure washing it. When the pressure washing failed to make any visible improvements, the City contracted with a local firm to rejuvenate the monument by pressure grouting a thin layer of grout over its exterior. On February 7, 2013, the City received a letter from the Freedom from Religion Foundation requesting the removal of the memorial. An Oregon judge has ruled in favor of the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay’s permit for the development of an access channel and multi-purpose vessel slip on the North Spit of lower Coos Bay. Following the decision, the Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) issued a final order this week, affirming its decision to approve the Port’s removal-fill permit for the Oregon Gateway Marine Terminal. “This is a victory,” said Port Commission President David Kronsteiner. “The administrative law judge rejected every single argument that Coos Waterkeeper, the Sierra Club and other groups have presented as challenges to this permit.” The Port submitted its application for the marine terminal multi-berth slip in 2007. DSL issued the Permit, No. 37712-RF, in December 2011. A month later, Coos Waterkeeper, Friends of Living Oregon Waters, Climate Solutions, Greenpeace and the Sierra Club appealed the approval of the permit. In turning down the appeal, the final order stated: · The department’s determination that the permit “met the governing statutory and regulatory criteria is supported by substantial evidence and is not flawed.” · The proposed upland area where the slip would be created does not contain wetlands and is above the highest high tide line. · The department complied with requirements for permit processing and public review. · The permit lawfully authorized construction of the marine terminal and disposal of dredged material at approved stockpile sites. Further, the order said Oregon law does not require DSL to evaluate “the appropriateness of potential users of the terminal or the products. …” Jordan Cove Energy Project has purchased property and is seeking federal approval to develop a liquefied natural gas export facility, utilizing the east berth at the Oregon Gateway Marine Terminal. The west berth will be available for multi-purpose cargo import/ export opportunities and potential deployment of deep-sea wind power generation structures as part of the Coos Bay Wind Power Demonstration Project. Development of the Jordan Cove facility would create an estimated 2,600 construction jobs. Once operational, the facility would directly employ 180 people at an estimated average annual wage of $81,900. The final order, along with information and other public documents related to the Oregon Gateway Marine Terminal, is available at http:// portofcoosbay.com/orgate.htm. Port Layoffs Flat marina revenues are being blamed for three layoffs within the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay's staff recently. The move will reportedly save the Port about $140,000 a year, and reduce their staff from 25 fulltime employees to 22. In another cost saving move, the Port will also let its $30,000 a year contract with the South Coast Development Council expire when it runs out on June 30 at the end of the current fiscal year. The Port's annual budget is about $2.9 million. Port of Coos Bay will continue to consider cargo development opportunities The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay has ended an exclusive negotiating agreement between the Port and Metropolitan Stevedoring Company, California (Metro Ports). The Port had entered into the original agreement with Metro Ports in October 2011 to allow the company and its partners, known as Project Mainstay, to engage in research related to conceptual development of a bulk export facility, principally for the export of thermal coal and biomass. “The Port is moving on to the next phase,” said CEO David Koch. “We will focus on pursuing a viable maritime development project that can capitalize on the Coos Bay harbor’s unique characteristics – developable land, an extremely short transit to Pacific trade routes and an experienced maritime labor force.” Port staff intends to begin discussions internally about import/export cargo development opportunities for port-owned industrial property. Ultimately, the Port may bring “Spring Tire Sale” Tires — Brakes — Batteries — Wheel Alignments Coos Bay 267-3163 North Bend 756-2091 Coquille 396-3145 Reedsport 271-3601 Bay Area Weekly April 10, 2013 Pg. 2 Arts effort to strengthen arts organizations in Oregon. Southern Oregon organizations received a total of $43,050 in this round of grants. Sixty-four applications requesting over $1.2 million were submitted to aid arts organizations in building their operating capacity, improving their financial sustainability, refining artistic products, diversifying audiences and/or strengthening management and board governance. The Arts Commission's review panel, chaired by Commission Chair Julie Vigeland of Portland, commended the overall caliber of requests, which proposed diverse strategies to help groups navigate changes in the arts field brought on by technological advances, demographic and funding changes, and shifting consumer and donor behavior. The Coos Art Museum, grant will support the replacement of its current 8-unit phone system from the 1970's with a new system. As a Beak Fish matures, it changes from stripes to a dark or black color. the discussion forward later this year to the port commission for solicitation of proposals to explore a broad range of marine cargo opportunities. In August 2011, the Port went through a solicitation process extensively vetting prospective developers of portcontrolled industrial property. Port staff had been contacted by numerous potential investor groups, including some with coal interests, seeking information and due diligence efforts on potential terminal development within the Coos Bay harbor. Over the past year and a half, the Port extended the exclusive negotiating agreement several times to allow Project Mainstay to pursue an evaluation of the current and potential capacity of the Coos Bay rail line and projected terminal development costs. The agreement expired March 31 and will not be renewed. Coos Bay is the largest deep-draft coastal harbor between San Francisco Bay and Puget Sound. It is one of the safest and busiest entrance bars on the Pacific Northwest coast, with an experienced maritime labor force, a wide range of maritime services and a short 15-mile navigation channel. These factors contribute to interest by global shippers in pursuing movement of commodities through the Coos Bay harbor to domestic and international markets. Joint Emergency Response Training in Coos Bay The Oregon National Guard's 102 Civil Support Team conducted an interagency training exercise with first responders in Coos Bay, beginning Tuesday, April 2. The threeday event consisted of 12 state and federal agencies. The exercise focused on possible chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear incidents. In addition to the 102 CST, participants included; Coos Bay Emergency Services, Oregon State Police, Coos Bay Police, Coos Bay Public Works, HAZMAT 15, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Radiation Public Safety, U.S. Army North, Coos County Sherriff, and Bay Area Hospital. "These exercises allow all the agencies involved to understand each other's business and better protect the people of our state and nation," said 1st Lt. James Ellifritt, 102 CST operations officer. The 102 CST supports local incident commanders with identification, analysis, and risk modeling, and provides the commanders with this critical data. On Tuesday, April 2nd, the drill took place on the campus of Southwestern Oregon Community College at the Fire Science Building. The simulated chemical spill was contained to that area. The parking lot to the west of the building was closed for the drill which was expected to last until approximately 5:00 PM. Little impact was expected on the public as all the exercise took place on the Southwestern campus. On both Wednesday and Thursday, April 3 & 4, the training took place at the National Guard Armory located at 255 Norman Avenue, Coos Bay. All events associated with the drill took place at that location. Missing Coos Co. Man Found Safe On Sunday March 31, 2013 the Coos County Sheriff’s Office took the report of a missing and possibly endangered person, who had been separated from his mushroom picking party in the Siskiyou National Forest approximately 12 miles south of Powers. During the investigation it was learned that Gene I. McLaughlin, 48 years of age of Myrtle Point, had gone into the wilderness area, south of Powers, Sometimes it’s more than just Flossing Dental Care for the Entire Family (541) 267-3447 Sam Scott DMD Bringing Back Smiles with Quality, Experienced, Professional Care 833 Anderson Ave., Coos Bay Oregon to pick mushrooms with a friend, on the morning hours of Saturday, March 30th, 2013. During the outing McLaughlin had been separated from his party and did not return to the vehicle as previously arranged. Friends of Mr. McLaughlin looked for him until 1:00 am when they gave up and returned to town. The Sheriff’s Office was notified of the disappearance of Gene McLaughlin, Monday the following morning, after family members reported him missing. Members of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, Coos County Search and Rescue, and Coos County Mounted Posse responded to the area which was 5 miles southeast of China Flat, south of Powers in the Siskiyou National Forest. The US Coast Guard provided a helicopter, but was hindered and could not see into the dense tree cover of the wilderness area. Members of the Coos County Sheriff’s Posse and Search and Rescue K-9 teams began working the area trying to locate clues or the whereabouts of Mr. McLaughlin. The teams worked into the evening on Monday, but had to suspend the search due to bad weather and terrain difficulties. Search efforts resumed the Tuesday morning, with SAR K-9’s, SAR Ground Searchers, Mounted Posse, Sheriff’s Deputies and members of the US Forest Service Ranger District. At about 2:20 pm, Tuesday afternoon Gene McLaughlin was located, he was very wet and cold from being out for two nights and a day. He was in good spirits, and relieved to have been found. Mr. McLaughlin had wondered over 3 miles from the point he had been last seen by other party members on Sunday, and was found in the Sucker Creek drainage area, west of China Flats. Mr. McLaughlin had minimal clothing to protect him from the elements and was not prepared to spend any length of time outdoors. He stated that he had become disoriented and began wandering thinking he was going in the right direction, which lead to him becoming lost. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue teams; K-9, Mounted, and Ground Search is comprised of a pool of trained volunteers who donate their time to help those who have become lost/missing or injured. The Coos County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank those volunteers again for their time and dedication to our County. Persons who are interested in becoming part of the SAR Ground can contact the Sheriff’s office at 541-756-7800. Coos Art Museum receives Capacity Grant The Oregon Arts Commission awarded 18 capacity grants totaling $349,014, including $5,000 to the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay, in its multi-year Sustaining Oregon's “You Can Get There From Here” (541) 888-2525 www.socc.edu “Biggest & Best Guitar Store on the Oregon Coast” New & Used Instruments Buy Guitars & Trades Welcome 888-6805 www.orcoastmusic.com Superheroes Give Southwestern Scholarships Superheroes are fictional characters portrayed in movies and books as people who have a strong sense of responsibility, a formal calling or strong belief in justice and humanitarian service. But we also have real people in our community who have a calling to serve others and we believe they are Superheroes. We want to introduce you to them. The Coquille Tribe is the first Superhero to give $10,000 to Southwestern Oregon Community College Foundation to create a permanent scholarship fund. The Tribe has given the college more than $100,000 over the years for scholarships for tribal members but this new permanent scholarship fund is for any SWOCC Student. Peter and Clarinda Hansen are the second Superheroes to invest in a $10,000 endowed fund in honor of Henry and Elva Hansen, who lead the petition movement to begin the college in 1961. Brenda Brecke is the third Superhero. Friends and family have helped memorialize her late husband, Vernon Brecke and created an endowed scholarship fund. The fourth Superhero is the former congregation of the First Presbyterian Church of Coos Bay who recently dissolved and gave a gift of $100,000 to the College Foundation. The Foundation is currently searching for new Superheroes to invest $10,000 in a named scholarship fund. Superheroes come in many forms and anyone who gives to a scholarship fund whether you give $50 or $5000 is a Superhero in our eyes. Find out more by visiting the College Website. www.socc.edu. CB - NB Water Board Flushing During the week beginning April 8, 2013, Coos Bay-North Bend Water Board will continue routine maintenance flushing of waterlines within its distribution system in Coos Bay. Flushing of waterlines will be from Wisconsin south to Libby Lane and Cape Arago Highway east to Mobilelane Rd. Flushing will begin in the morning each day about 8:00 a.m. and end at approximately 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. In some locations, it may be necessary to begin flushing earlier in the morning and end earlier in the afternoon. Customers within the affected area may experience periods of reduced pressure and may notice a discoloration of the water during these flushing periods. Customers should avoid doing laundry if their water appears discolored. If the discoloration does not clear up promptly, please notify the Water Board at 267 3128.

It was found, along with several others, in another barnacle-encrusted small boat that washed ashore in the Pacific Northwest in March. This one turned up on Long Beach at the southwest corner of Washington State. Out of fear that the live fish could become an invasive species, officials with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife euthanized most of them. However, one was smuggled out and ended up in a bucket at the Long Beach City Hall. Not wanting to turn it over to an executioner, the Seaside Aquarium was notified and staff members rescued the bucket with the striped Beak Fish inside. Now dubbed the "tsunami fish," researchers are trying to learn more about it. It was about four-inches long when discovered, but they can grow to about 15-inches. The boat is the latest from the debris field that officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted would arrive off Oregon, Washington, Western Canada and Alaska this year. Previously, a dock washed ashore at Newport's Agate Beach, and along the Olympic National Forest of Western Washington. There have been other boats as well, and even a house and motorcycle in a crate. Cormorant hazing to begin on Oregon coast With hundreds of thousands of young salmon now making their way toward the ocean, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is ramping up efforts to make sure they get there and aren’t picked off by hungry birds along the way. For the next month and a half, volunteers assisting ODFW staff will haze cormorants in several coastal estuaries to keep them from feasting on salmon smolts as the young fish make their way to the Pacific Ocean. Cormorants are large seabirds that inhabit Oregon’s estuaries during the spring and summer. They are voracious eaters and can Astoria Coast Guard Cutter Intercepts Marijuana Shipment The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Alert, a 210-foot cutter homeported in Astoria, Ore., recovered more than 3.3 tons of marijuana from the Pacific Ocean approximately 90 miles west of San Nicolas Island, Calif., Sunday morning. A Sacramento-based Coast Guard C130 Hercules aircraft located the suspected smugglers' vessel during a routine offshore patrol. The suspects began jettisoning bales as the boat sped south at a high rate of speed. The C-130 vectored the Alert to the area where the crew recovered more than 245 bales of contraband. "Thanks to our Coast Guard crews in the air and on the water, we disrupted this smuggling threat and recovered a huge amount of drugs today," said Cmdr. Daniel Pickles, commanding officer of the Alert. "I am proud to say that several thousand pounds of illegal drugs, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, will be kept off our streets and away from our children." Coast Guard and other agency crews regularly patrol the waters off of Southern California to detect, deter, and disrupt the smuggling of illegal migrants and drugs and to help ensure the safety and security of the region. Boaters and coastal residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity they observe to the Coast Guard or local police. "The persistent presence of Coast Guard assets, along with those of our law enforcement partners, off of California's shores, is essential to stop the pangas smuggling people and drugs into the U.S.," said 11th Coast Guard District Commander Rear Adm. Karl Schultz. "The Sinaloa cartel and other criminal organizations are exploiting these sea routes to move their illicit cargo and fund their broader illegal enterprises." The Coast Guard Cutter Alert is based in Astoria, Ore., and was commissioned on August 4, 1969. It is the last of the Coast Guard's 210-foot medium endurance cutters constructed. The 75 crewmembers conduct law enforcement, search and rescue and environmental protection missions from Alaska to the Eastern Pacific Ocean. consume up to two pounds of fish per day. Cormorant predation has been identified as a significant threat to the outbound migration of salmon and steelhead. To reduce this threat, ODFW will haze the birds in an attempt to disrupt their feeding patterns at the mouths of coastal rivers. “Our goal is to inter- rupt the birds’ feeding patterns while young fish are still in the estuaries to improve their chances of getting to the ocean,” said Lindsay Adrean, ODFW’s avian predation coordinator. Volunteers will be working with ODFW in Tillamook and Alsea bays and at the mouths of the Columbia, Nehalem, Nestucca and Coquille rivers through the end of May. The hazing effort will include driving at the birds in small boats and, occasionally, firing at them with small pyrotechnics. Manpower is being provided by the Clatsop Fisheries Project, Port of Nehalem, Port of Bandon, North Coast Salmon and Steelhead Enhancement Fund, and Alsea Sportsmen’s Association. ODFW will provide boat fuel and program oversight. Cormorants are protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, so extra care must be exercised to ensure the birds are not injured or killed. Cormorant populations have been increasing in some areas along the Oregon coast and Columbia River so in addition to hazing ODFW is conducting population surveys to identify opportunities to better strike a balance between the needs of birds and fish. Quakes Three earthquakes, one in the Pacific Ocean off of Cape Mendocino, struck Northern California on Saturday, April 6. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a 3.3magnitude quake was recorded at 12:40 p.m., 39-miles South to Southwest of Eureka, CA. The other two were on land. A 2.0magnitude quake occurred at 5:09 p.m., 23-miles South of Eureka, and a 2.3-magnitude quake shook an area 48-miles Northeast of the Humboldt Co. Seat at 2:23 a.m., Sunday, April 7. All three quakes were horizontal. Border quake A small 1.9-magnitude earthquake shook the Pacific Ocean seafloor near the Oregon-California border mid-day Thursday, April 4. According to a report from the U.S. Geological Survey, the horizontal quake occurred at 12:00.39, ninemiles south of Brookings. Regional News Videos document challenges to fish passage Recent video taken at roads in the Medford area show juvenile salmon and steelhead struggling to pass through culverts as they try to swim upstream. The video shows the problem that partial barriers create for fish migration. Barriers include dams and culverts that are either poorly placed or need to be replaced. "Most people know that adult salmon and steelhead migrate upstream to spawn and that barriers can either partially or completely block this needed movement" said Dan Van Dyke, district biologist with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). "In the Rogue watershed, with our very hot, dry summers, young fish move around as well." Juvenile coho salmon live for a year in Rogue Valley streams before they migrate to the ocean. Juvenile steelhead may spend two or three years in freshwater before leaving the valley. During their time in freshwater, fish migrate seasonally between very small streams, larger streams like Bear Creek, and even the river itself. Barriers can block this migration. The fish spend time and energy jumping at these sites, most often without success. Predators like heron and mink can be seen at culvert barriers taking advantage of their young prey. ODFW fish passage criteria and policy for culverts and other barriers is to provide passage for all native migratory fish and life stages that need passage at a site. So as new culverts are built, and as barriers are removed in the Rogue Valley, passage conditions for these juveniles are improving. Still, hundreds of barriers to fish passage exist within the Rogue watershed. According to Van Dyke, the challenge for fish will get bigger if we see a trend for more extreme climate conditions in the future. High water flows in undersized culverts scour the streambed and create the jumps that block fish. Poorly designed culverts allow very low and very high flows to block fish movement. "We can have all the newly hatched fish we want, but unless they can survive to head to sea as smolts, we will not have more salmon and steelhead coming back as adult fish." Comment Period on Conservation Areas Rule Extended The Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF) announced today that the public comment period for a draft rule concerning "conservation areas" on the State Forests has been extended to 5 p.m. on April 19. The classification would highlight areas that are already being managed for conservation values in the strategies set forth in currently approved forest management plans. The comment period was originally scheduled to run through April 5. "We made the decision to extend opportunity for comment based on feedback we received from the public," the Oregon Department of Forestry's Mike Bordelon said. "They asked for more time to review the draft rule and submit their comments." The proposed administrative rule refines language within ODF's Forest Land Management Classification System (Oregon Administrative Rule 629-035-0055) to add the classification of "HighValue Conservation Areas" within State Forest management plans. The intent is to more clearly organize and display (such as on land-use maps and in data systems) areas of state-owned forests that are cur- Moe's Super Lube Oil Lube & Filter Service Open 8 a.m., Mon. - Sat. 2 Locations in the Bay Area *1326 Virginia Ave., North Bend (541) 756-7218 *330 South Broadway, Coos Bay (541) 269-5323 Bay Area Weekly April 10, 2013 Pg. 4 Meetings & Events WBC Forum Bay Area Chamber of Commerce WBC luncheon Forum Presents: Ray Bucheger, “Boost Southwest Oregon”, this Wednesday April 10, 2013, at the Mill Casino-Hotel, in the Salmon Room 11:30 to 1:00 pm.

Thornton’s Show at North Bend Public Library Photo by W.D. Thornton rently managed with a conservation emphasis. The rule change would affirm the State Forests' current contributions to conservation. No changes to projected timber harvest levels or designations of additional conservation areas are proposed. Currently, the Forest Land Management Classification System places all state-owned forestland into one of three categories: General Stewardship, Focused Stewardship, or Special Stewardship, with subclasses assigned for the specific forest resource or uses that require a Focused Stewardship or Special Stewardship classification. The proposed change would divide the Special Stewardship classification into 1) Special Use, and 2) HighValue Conservation Areas. Current language places lands that are managed with a conservation emphasis into subclasses according to specific attributes -- such as wildlife habitat or aquatic/riparian habitat -or designates lands where timber harvest would be impractical or would put natural resources at risk due to steep slopes, rocky soils, or other characteristics. Under the proposed change, these lands would be grouped in the new High-Value Conservation Area classification or the Special Use category. The proposed rule revision applies to all Board of Forestry-owned lands: the Tillamook, Clatsop and Santiam State Forests in northwestern Oregon; the Gilchrist and Sun Pass State Forests east of the Cascades; and scattered small parcels throughout Oregon. The revised land classification system would also apply to the Elliott State Forest near Coos Bay, though the Elliott's forest management plan already includes designated conservation areas as one strategy to achieve overall plan objectives. Most of the Elliott is under the jurisdiction of the State Land Board, made up of the governor, state treasurer and secretary of state. An agreement is in place under which the Oregon Department of Forestry provides management. The draft rule language is available for review on the Oregon Department of Forestry web site at: http:// www.oregon.gov/odf/Pages/ FLMCS-Rulemaking.aspx. Written comments on the proposed amended rule are being accepted through 5 p.m. on April 19, 2013, and may be sent to ODF through several routes: - EMAIL to: [email protected]; - FAX to: 503-945-7376, Attn: John Barnes; REGULAR Mail to: John Barnes, Oregon Department of Forestry, 2600 State Street - Building D, Salem OR 97310. The Oregon Department of Forestry manages more than 800,000 acres of forests in Oregon for the environmental, social and economic benefit of Oregonians. Oregon takes closer look at Food Safety Modernization Act For the first time in perhaps 75 years, sweeping changes to the nation’s food safety laws are underway, generally shifting the focus away from reacting to food safety problems and towards preventing them. The first two proposed rules of the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) are out for comment. As part of its outreach and education efforts, the Oregon Department of Agriculture urges farmers and processors to take a close look at the rules and provide feedback. “Now is the time for farmers and Coney Station Downtown Coos Bay Curtis & Broadway Relaxed Atmosphere 1/2 lb. Charbroiled Burgers -Steaks - Seafood Pool Tables– PGA Golf– TV’s– Music Salads & Pastas - Daily Lunch Specials processors to pay attention and provide comment on the draft rules the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has proposed,” says ODA Director Katy Coba. “FDA is trying to figure out how to make these rules workable at the time they are implemented. The proposed rules are extremely comprehensive and very complex. I think it’s starting to hit our producers and processors just how big these proposed changes are.” The first two of five rules under FSMA were proposed this January. Public comments are due May 16, 2013. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 48 million people–1 in 6 Americans– get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die each year from foodborne diseases. For many people, change in how the US deals with food safety problems is overdue. Last week, FDA held one of three national listening sessions in Portland. Coba, who also chairs the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture’s (NASDA) Food Regulation and Nutrition Committee, opened the hearing by welcoming FDA and the attendees. “I’m appreciative of FDA’s approach to drafting these rules and being willing to reach out to all the partners,” she says. “It’s now incumbent upon the rest of us to engage with FDA, make good comments, or ask for clarification if needed.” Coba emphasizes that the rules are not a done deal. Comments offered by Oregon producers and processors– along with those provided across the US– will help make FSMA reasonable and effective. ODA is coordinating outreach and education efforts related to FSMA by hosting a web page that contains important dates, details, a frequently asked questions section, and instructions on how to provide comment. ODA invites concerns or questions from farmers and processors through the web page, which will be updated throughout the implementation of FSMA. The resource site can be found at <http:// oregon.gov/ODA/ADMD/pages/ fsma_oregon.aspx>. 20 Micro & Domestic Beers & Cocktails Are you interested in learning how to safely preserve food, or up-date and perfect your skills?
