What’s Next For Theater 101
By Evan Kramer
Now that Theater 101 has had a very
successful opening of their playhouse at
the Seaside Plaza Building with the two
week run of the play “Sylvia” I wondered what was next for them.
There are seven members of the Theater
101 acting company and they also serve
on the board of directors. They are Peri
Rask, Dianne Campbell-Antonio, Rick
Antonio, Stacie Romele. Susie Eckhardt, Ken Stevens and Tere Tronson.
Rask spoke for the group on Saturday
and expressed her delight with the community acceptance of the play. Theater
101 sold 307 tickets for the six performances in their 75 seat theater and this
included two sell-out performances on
the Friday and Saturday night of the last
weekend of the show. Rask was happy
that they could make so many people
laugh and have a good time. Her goal
had been selling 300 tickets so she exceeded that one.
Next up for Theater 101 is a Christmas
show on December 21, 22 and 23. It
will include a variety of entertainments
from music to storytelling. If you would
like to audition for the Christmas show
please call 332-PLAY to get started.

The Theater 101 acting company plans
on putting on at least three plays next
year in February, May-June and September. The board/company will be
meeting soon to set the exact schedule
and plays.
producer at $500 per year to scene stealer at $100-$199 per year and thespian at
$35 for an individual membership. Each
level of support offers various incentives from season tickets to Theater 101
T-shirts.
Rask said they would eventually do a
musical at the Theater 101 playhouse.
For the musical they need a male piano
player as they are interested in putting
on “Pump Boys and Dinette.”
Use it or Lose It
Rask is writing some grants now to get
money for better outside signage for the
theater and a good CD player with an
easy to view readout.
Theater 101 members welcome suggestions from the public. They want to
do quality shows and performances for
the town and visitors. They need some
young people in their 20’s and 30’s to
get involved in Youth Theater and they
also want to do Senior Theater. Rask emphasized more than once they encourage
community participation but the acting
troupe is a company which will play
most of the parts in the plays. There will
be some auditions for actors outside the
company and over time additions and
subtractions from the core group.
You can become a financial supporter
of Theater 101 and become a member.
There are several levels of support from
Port Orford Senior Center president
Owen Miller needs your attention and
help. He has issued a brief press release
stating that the Dial-A-Ride program operating out of the Senior Center will be
discontinued on November 30 “unless
participation dramatically increases.”
Reasons stated for discontinuing this vital service are the high fuel prices which
have gone up over 30 cents in the last
two weeks and the cost of insurance.
The other main problem is lack of ridership.
It costs $3.00 to use the Dial-A-Ride
service and is very simple. The Dial-ARide bus operates on Monday, Wednesday and Friday out of the Senior Center
from 9:30am-1:30pm. The drivers are
all volunteers. To get the bus all you do
is call 332-5771 during the hours just
listed and they will come get you. They
will pick you up at your house and take
you around town to the bank, post office, medical clinic, market, etc. for $3

Owen Miller is asking the public to support this service or the community will
lose it. Since we don’t have a taxi cab
service in Port Orford like many communities up and down the coast the only
alternative will be walking or finding a
friend to drive you around town. This
service is available to everyone in the
community and if it doesn’t get more
use it will be stopped.
Axe-Sass’ns Take Opener
By Evan Kramer
The Coos County Roller Girls held their
first bout in the first season of roller
derby action on their home turf. The
Coos Bay Roller Derby league consists
of two teams – The Rockin’ Roulettes
and the Axe-Sass’ns. They played last
Saturday night at the National Guard
Armory in Coos Bay (renamed The
Armory of Darkness in honor of Halloween.) The Axe-Sass’ns took an early
lead in the game and went on to beat the
Rockin’ Roulettes by a score of 77-55.

Axe-Sass’ns jammer Katarina Van Rotten was the lead scorer in the game and
kept her team ahead all night. Rockin’
Roulettes jammers Shredder Bakskinov
and Sista Hex put quite a few points on
the board for their team.
League founders Dolly Demented and
the French Wench were happy with the
sold out crowd at the Armory but are
looking for a bigger place to play. The
Armory sat less than 200 people and
many people could not get in because of
the sellout.
The next event for the Coos County
Roller Girls is when they travel to Rohnert Park for a bout with the Sonoma
County Derby Divas on December 15.
There are four roller derby leagues in
Oregon including Portland, Eugene,
Bend and now Coos Bay.
The Coos County Roller Girls are
looking for more than a bigger venue
to skate in. They are looking for more
roller girls. Team members must be 18
years or older and you must have a valid
ID. Required equipment includes quad
roller skates, protective gear including

and on Sunday at 2:00pm at Sunset
Middle School in Empire.
To contact either Dolly Demented or the
French Wench about joining the Coos
County Roller Girls e-mail them at
[email protected].
This isn’t the 1960’s roller derby. The
new women’s roller derby that is sweeping the country got its start in Austin,
Texas in 2001. All the skaters have
interesting and colorful names (often
plays on words) and numbers. The roller
derby games are not scripted and the action is fast, hard hitting and not for the
faint of heart. Most of the teams play on
flat tracks rather than the banked tracks
that were popular in the 50’s and 60’s.
This is a full contact sport played to loud
rock and roller music and is a lot of fun
for the players and the people watching.

Ruby Anne Johnston Rowe
5/18/34 – 10/26/07
My dear friend Anne (as she preferred
to be called) passed from this life with
her family by her bedside in the early
evening of October 26 in Boise, Idaho.
Her passing ended a difficult seven year
struggle with Alzheimers complicated
by a weakened heart and respiratory
system as well as diabetes.
Anne was born in the Portland area. She
was raised by her paternal Grandmother
whom she adored. Anne was married to
John Rowe and they had two children.
She became a widow not long after the
birth of her second child.
Anne worked to raise her children and
eventually moved to the south Oregon
coast as she was employed by the plywood company out on the Elk River.
She helped raise her two granddaughters
as they progressed through school at Pacific High School. She worked and lived
in Port Orford for over twenty years.
Anne and I became friends in 2000
when we met while walking our dogs.
We became very close.

It was my honor and privilege to help
Anne as she began to recognize the
signs of increased memory loss. Out of
necessity her family had moved out of
state and was unable to attend her increasing medical needs. Together she
and I traversed the path which led to
her new home at Shore Pines. We made
many friends during her stay there and
she came to love her new environment.

When Anne needed acute care it was my
chance to have her with me for awhile
and with her family’s kind permission
she came to live with me for six months
before her family took her home to
Idaho to be with them during her final
challenge.
It was wonderful to have such a kind,
sweet, loving friend. I am a better person for having known Anne. I think of
her often as I walk my dog down the
streets we walked so many times. I can
still hear her laughing at one of the many
stories we shared on our walks. We were
determined to make the best of the time
we shared. It was never a question of
quantity of life but of quality. Anne, my
dearest friend I am relieved your painful struggle is over. I am happy for your
well deserved peace and rest. I promise
to practice what you taught me. Good
night sweet friend.

Tip Line: 253-6271
10-20 Police were contacted by a citizen
who was not able to get into a residence
on Ninth Street to check on an elderly
male. Sergeant Halse responded to the
residence and determined the male
subject was having problems breathing. Ambulance responded and because
all the doors were locked and the male
subject could not open them Sergeant
Halse broke a window and entered the
residence. The male was transported by
Ambulance to the hospital.
Thanks to people who are watching others in this community. When something
does not look right it is better to immediately contact us so it can be checked
out. Like this case, a life can be saved
if action is taken immediately. Remember to contact us using Curry County
Dispatch at 800-543-8471 or 911 (in an
emergency) because they always know
how to find us either on or off duty.

Note: Two reasons a vehicle can be
towed from public property are 1) when
they area disabled and considered abandoned and 2) no current registration.
10-26 Police stopped a vehicle at Ray’s
food place for a minor traffic violation.
It was determined the driver had a suspended license in Washington and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol. The driver was given field sobriety
tests and arrested for DUII Deborah
Williams was transported to the Curry
County Jail and charged with DUII.
10-27 A wallet was turned in to the Police Department. If anyone is missing
one please contact our agency and identify it. No there is no money in it!
We have a potential public safety problem in our community with both speed
and pedestrian safety. We have determined there are four areas of pedestrian
concern. There are no visible crosswalks
at 15th Street which is where the library
is being built next to Ray’s food place,
and 18th, 19th, and 20th Streets. I started
a “Where are our crosswalks” campaign
and have contacted Oregon Department
of Transportation to get crosswalks installed at those locations before we have
a serious pedestrian Vs vehicle accident. Thanks to our city workers there
are other areas in town where signage
has been placed or moved to make them
more visible like on Arizona Street. This
proactive effort has significantly reContinued on Next Page

Chiefs Note: Motor Vehicle Crashes are
the number one cause of death among
teen drivers in the United States. In 2005
nearly 7,500 15 to 20 year old drivers
were involved in fatal crashes so clearly
more work needs to be done in this area
to outreach our youth and do our part to
prevent and reduce the number of teen
crashes that result in death and disabilities. October 15-19 was National Teen
Driver Safety Week and our community has had serious accidents involving
teens on Halloween. To be proactive I

5 for 4 Fundraiser
4 Schools, 5 Weeks, $5.00 Donation (for
each school)
This week officially kicks off our 5 for 4
School Fundraiser. It’s a simple concept
aimed at our community raising money
for our schools.
Everyone knows our district needs money. This fundraiser offers each school
the ability to put the funds wherever
their specific need entails. Technology,
books, and playground equipment are
some of the areas that could use a financial boost. These are basic needs and we
as a community can help!
4 schools: Pacific High, Driftwood
& Blanco Elementary, and Wilderland Montessori. We will feature each
school’s specific needs in subsequent
articles, noting how each school intends
to apply their funds.
$5.00 per school: A donation of $5.00
per school, or a $25.00 total donation.
(Putting it in perspective- $5.00 is 2 coffee drinks or 2 video rentals.) Accounts
for donations are set up CFCU and Sterling Bank.
$5000 Total Goal (per school): In 5
weeks, we will divide up the total contributions between the schools. Principal of Blanco, Mick Lane remarks, “We
would be honored with any amount, and
you can be assured the money will go directly to the education of our students.”
5 Weeks: We will begin on Thursday,
November 1. The window is short - only
5 weeks, ending on December 7. Every
week, we will keep you updated as to
how much has been raised so far. Please
don’t put it off - hurry down to CFCU
or Sterling Saving’s Bank and donate
today!
The Library Foundation received a
grant for $6,570 from Trust Management Services. This agency funds nonprofit organizations throughout Oregon,
with emphasis on the areas of education,
community service, cultural, youth activities and historical preservation.
The funds will be used for shelving in
the kids’ section of the new library—
special shelving that will hold the picture books, or, as we say in the trade,
“The Everybody Books.” Grant writing
efforts will continue as we try to raise
the monies for the essential earthquakeproof shelving. It is expensive stuff,
over $100,000, and it’s not like we can
do without it.
To prepare for this next round of grants,
we did a review of our grant writing efforts to date. For new construction funds,
we submitted 30 grant applications; 18
were granted and 22 were denied. For
the shelving and landscaping funds, we
have two applications under review, and
plans to send out eight more.
If you have any fund raising ideas (or
extra funds) let us know; help us make
that library bond disappear.

Choose companions with care, you become what you are.
Choose only a date who would make a

Rotary Foundation in the District,” announced Rotary Foundation Chairperson Ronn Kerr at the Thursday, October
25th meeting of the local club, “and
eight of our members have arrived at the
cumulative contribution level of $1,000
necessary to become Paul Harris Fellows during the first four months of this

Four new Paul Harris Fellows were inducted at the Thursday meeting – Chet
Dacayana, Mike Hewitt, Millie North,
and David Smith. Bill Oleson and Club
President Bill Hawkins were also honored for arriving at post Paul Harris contribution levels of $2,000 and $4,000.
The Port Orford club has contributed

Letter to the Editor,
Confused about Measure 49? Here are a
few simple things to consider:
•
Asphalt or apples?
•
Gravel pits or grapevines?
•
Stripmalls or strawberry fields?
•
Parking lots or pumpkins?
•
Oregon: Pave it or save it?
Thanks to Dave Adams for putting all
this prospective. Needless to say, Vote
Yes on Measure 49. Worm regards,
Paula Cracas
