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.

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

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

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,

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.

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

made the two-year journey across
the Pacific Ocean following the
March 11, 2011 earthquake and
tsunami that devastated Japan. 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."

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-

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:

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

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/

collection of images is a return to
my long time exploration of the
relationship between form and
