Earthquakes pose a serious risk to our country. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 77 percent of that risk (with an annual loss of $4.1 billion) is concentrated on the West Coast (ie: California, Oregon and Washington). Living on the Oregon coast means living in ‘Cascadia’, a region of beauty and diversity. But the geologic forces that shaped the gorgeous landscape of our region are still active. Cascadia is a region of earthquakes! An earthquake early warning system that can rapidly detect earthquakes and send alerts will prompt actions to protect life and property before strong shaking arrives. Development of such a system is a critical step toward offsetting risks, improving public understanding of earthquake hazards and reducing fear of the unknown and unpredictable nature of earthquakes. Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) ShakeAlert is one of three early warning software packages being tested together by the California Integrated Seismic Network. Developed at University of California Berkeley, ShakeAlert detects earthquakes, locates them and estimates magnitudes within seconds of the P wave’s arrival at the surface. The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN), operated out of the University of Washington and the University of Oregon, has adapted this software for use in the Pacific Northwest utilizing the seismic networks in Washington and Oregon. This year the PNSN is filling in coverage gaps with new strong motion seismic stations along the coast from California to the border of Canada to be able to shorten warning times for shaking from the next great Cascadia Subduction Zone quake. The PNSN distributed its modified Pacific Northwest (PNW) ShakeAlert software to a test group of companies, utilities and government agencies throughout Washington, Oregon and British Columbia in February of this year and has been successfully delivering alerts for the small and moderate sized earthquakes that have occurred in the region since then. When fully operational, PNW ShakeAlert will distribute alerts through all available distribution channels, including FEMA’s Wireless Emergency Alert system and Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, smartphone apps, social media providers and other electronic alert technologies as they develop. What that means is you can have real-time message alerts delivered to your smartphone or computer before strong shaking begins. The message alerts the user to how many seconds before the shaking waves arrive at their location and the expected intensity of the shaking at that site. The warning message also displays a map with the location of the epicenter and the magnitude of the quake. The ShakeAlert system has been sending live alerts to test users in California since January of 2012 and now a

West Coast Earthquake Early Warning System is being tested. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) will issue public warnings of potentially damaging earthquakes and provide warning data to government agencies and private users on a region-byregion basis, as soon as the ShakeAlert system, its products, and its parametric data meet minimum quality and reliability standards in those geographic regions. Product availability will expand geographically via Advanced National Seismic System (ANSS) regional seismic networks, such that ShakeAlert products and warnings become available for all regions with dense seismic instrumentation. Researchers were looking for a site in Coos Bay, an important city on the coast of Oregon that is currently unmonitored. On choosing Southwestern Oregon Community College as a site for the seismic sensor, Bill Steele, Seismology Lab Coordinator at the University of Washington (UW) said, “We love to co-locate with schools, particularly colleges because they are welcoming to scientific research and have good network connectivity to stream the data back to UW for processing. Our engineer, Marc Biundo, met some very welcoming and helpful folks at SWOCC when he was looking for appropriate sites and here we are!” Southwestern is excited to be a host site for the equipment

needed to complete this important network. For more information about ShakeAlert visit: http://www.shakealert.org. You can also visit: http://pnsn.org/ to watch demonstrations of the system.

Coos Co. Sheriff Gives Thanks On behalf of all of the members of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office, I wish to express our sincere appreciation to all those who helped us during our time of loss and who helped make the Celebration of Life for Deputy Gil Datan a memorable event. It is with humble hearts and sincere appreciation to all those who showed their understanding and support. Many times in law enforcement, officers only get to see or hear the criticisms or derision aimed at individual officers who have not lived up to the standards that we strive to maintain. In this instance we were blessed to see, hear and feel the true feelings of the community we serve. We would also like to express our gratitude and special thanks to all the Law enforcement agencies that assisted including but not limited to: All 35 other Oregon Sheriff’s Office, Oregon State Police, Coos Bay PD, North Bend PD, Tribal Police, US Border Patrol, Boise and Seattle Police, United States Coast Guard and so many other agencies from throughout the United States. A very special

thanks to the Ken Ware Chevrolet and Staff and North Bend High School for limitless generosity and kindness along with the Oregon Fallen Badge Foundation and The Soup Ladies from Washington State whose efforts made it possible for us to begin to heal from our loss and without whose hard work, we would not have been able to provide the support and honor deserved by Deputy Gill Datan and his Family. Donations to the Datan Family can be given on line, through the Oregon Fallen Badge Foundation at oregonfallenbadge.com. On behalf of the men and women of the Coos County Sheriff’s Office. Respectfully, Craig Zanni- Sheriff.

Jobless Rates Coos County’s unemployment rate during the month of March 2015 was 7.6% according to a report from the Oregon Employment Dept. The rate is lower than the 8.2% in February, and far below the 10.7% for March 2014. Curry County’s jobless rate in March was 9.6%, down from the 10.3% in February and the 12.3% of a year ago. The statewide rate was 5.8% in March.

South Coast Jobs Coos County payroll employment rose by 50 jobs in March, mostly as a result of 70 jobs added in leisure and hospitality, according to the South Coast Labor Trends newsletter from the

Coos Bay School Board With supporters demonstrating out front of a closed door personnel hearing for Marshfield High School Athletic Director and Dean of Students Greg Mulkey Wednesday night at the Milner Crest Education Center in Coos Bay, the school board met for six-hours inside and decided to reinstate him. Mulkey was placed on “leave” by Superintendent Dawn Granger leading to the executive session hearing. That decision also revealed a rift that has developed between the superintendent and district administrators, teachers, students and members of the Bay Area business community. Nearly 60 complaints, reportedly involving Granger, were turned into the school board.

Hwy. 42-South Fatal Oregon State Police are continuing the investigation into Sunday afternoon's, May 3, fatal motorcycle crash on Highway 42S at milepost 7.5 near Bandon. According to OSP Sergeant Dave Aydelotte, at approximately 3:25 p.m., a 1997 Ford F-150 pickup stopped on Lampa Lane attempted to pull out onto Highway 42S but turned into the path of an oncoming motorcycle that was westbound. The motorcycle, a 2006 Honda CBR, swerved but was unable to avoid the pickup and impacted it behind the drivers side door near the front of the bed. The driver of the motorcycle, identified as WILLIAM LOVE, 46, of Coquille, was transported to an area hospital and is expected to survive his injuries. The female passenger on the motorcycle, identified as 34year-old CARRIE MURRAY, of Portland, was transported to an area hospital and later pronounced deceased by medical personnel. The driver of the Ford pickup, identified as SHELLY CORBIT, 47, of Cottage Grove, was not injured but charges are pending. OSP is continuing the investigation into this crash. The passenger in the pickup was not injured.

Researchers think Axial Seamount off Northwest coast is erupting – right on schedule Axial Seamount, an active underwater volcano located about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon and Washington, appears to be erupting – after two scientists had forecast that such an event would take place there in 2015. Geologists Bill Chadwick of Oregon State University and Scott Nooner of the University of North Carolina Wilmington made their forecast last September during a public lecture and followed it up with blog posts and a reiteration of their forecast just last week at a scientific workshop. They based their forecast on some of their previous research – funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which showed how the volcano inflates and deflates like a balloon in a repeatable pattern as it responds to magma being fed into the seamount. Since Friday, April 24, the region has experienced thousands of tiny earthquakes – a sign that magma is moving toward the surface – and the seafloor dropped by 2.4 meters, or nearly eight feet, also a sign of magma being withdrawn from a reservoir beneath the summit.

The crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Sea Lion, while on patrol in the Strait of Juan De Fuca east of Port Angeles, terminated the voyage of a fishing vessel for safety gear concerns found during an at-sea boarding Thursday. The three member crew, harvesting geoducks, aboard the 34-foot fishing vessel Equalizer was safely escorted to Port Angeles, where the vessel was ordered to remain until the crew fixed the especially hazardous safety condition of lacking a sufficient number of personal floatation devices also known as lifejackets and having expired flares. This is the second fishing vessel is as many days to be found without sufficient lifejackets aboard. “Carrying required survival equipment aboard your commercial vessel is not optional and may be life threatening to your crew.” said Lt. Cmdr. Libby Rasmussen, a command duty officer at Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound. “Being turned around at sea costs fishing crews time and can be avoided by being compliant with current regulations. We offer free vessel safety examinations where we will come to your boat to check that it meets all applicable rules and regulations prior to getting underway. A Commercial Fishing Vessel Safety Decal is awarded for those meeting the safety standards.” Passing a Coast Guard fishing vessel safety examination will become mandatory Oct. 15. Any fishing vessel crew operating beyond three miles off shore will need to complete their safety examination and receive a commercial fishing vessel safety decal, which should be displayed on the vessel. Due to the upcoming mandatory examination date, fishing vessel crews are encouraged to stling their examinations now.

US 101 project to divert traffic and reduce speeds A project to construct a new fish passage culvert and restore the natural tidal flows of Fraser Creek, north of Lincoln City, will result in a traffic diversion around the construction site and a speed limit reduction through the work zone. Beginning Monday, May 4, 2015 both lanes of US 101 will be diverted around the construction area near the US 101/OR 18 junction (MP 104). At the same time, the speed limit through the area will be reduced to 45 MPH. The two-lane diversion will allow normal, twoway travel around the area where US 101 will be excavated for the construction of the culvert. The diversion and speed limit reduction will remain in effect until mid-July, or until the culvert is constructed and the highway is rebuilt. The entire project will be completed by September, 2015.

When this segment of the historic Oregon Coast Highway was realigned in the 1950’s, the raised elevation of the roadway created, in essence, a dam that blocked the historic tidal flow of Fraser Creek. This project will restore the tidal flow and the natural estuary wetlands, benefitting endangered Coho salmon and other species in the important coastal river system.

Employers report Job Vacancies in Oregon Oregon businesses reported 39,400 vacancies in winter 2015, an increase of 6,600 vacancies from the prior year. The growing number of vacancies reflects the strengthening labor market across Oregon in the past year. The average hourly wage offered for job vacancies in winter 2015 was the highest in the twoyear history of the quarterly Oregon Job Vacancy Survey. The overall average wage was $17.53. That's up about $1.50 from the average of $16.05 in winter 2014. Employers report fewer low-wage job vacancies and more high-wage vacancies. This combination is raising the average offered wage. A year ago, 61 percent of the job vacancies offered a starting wage below $15 per hour. That share is now down to just 34 percent. A year ago, 4,200 job vacancies offered at least $25 per hour. Now more than 5,000 job vacancies offer at least $25 per hour.

Spring Is Here and Fire Season Will Follow Soon The sound of mowers and the smell of fresh cut grass are sure signs that spring is here. The weather has been good for getting out in the yard and doing some spring cleanup. Chipping, composting or taking debris to the land fill are the preferred options for debris disposal. For many people, cleaning up will include some debris burning. This is one of the best times of year for the public to burn, but it still has a degree of risk. Debris burning is one of the leading causes of wildfires in the Coos Forest Protective Association (CFPA) district. CFPA’s Prevention Specialist, John Flannigan warns, “What catches most people off guard this time of year is how long a burned pile can stay hot. They don’t see smoke so they assume the fire is out, but then the afternoon winds come up and it blows embers into nearby fuels. A hand pile can stay hot for a couple of days. A larger machine pile can stay hot for months. Another common cause is inadequate clearing around the burn. Often the area looks green but there is enough dead grass or brush to carry the fire

Andrew Phelps, Director of the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, coordinates with tribal amateur radio operators, during the Amateur Radio Radio Emergency Service “QuakeEX I” exercise at the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, April 25. to more receptive fuels.” said Flannigan. If burning is part of your spring cleaning, follow these tips: · Get a permit if required; · clear an area one and one half times the expected flame length; · know the weather forecast and avoid the wind and drying trends; · stay in attendance of the burn; · have tools and water available; · and extinguish the pile before you leave. CFPA will do a complementary inspection to ensure your burn is safe if requested. An appointment can be set up by calling 541-267-3161. A well -maintained property is nice for the whole community but a wildfire threatens everyone. Be safe.

HAM Radio Operators in Disaster Drill More than 300 people in 27 counties statewide participated in a radio operator exercise centered at the Oregon Office of Emergency Management, April 25. The Amateur Radio Emergency Service "QuakeEX I" exercise took place the same day a 7.8 earthquake struck off the coast of Nepal. "Oregon is due for a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake that could be even larger than the one that struck Nepal," said Kim Lippert, Public Information Officer for the Oregon Office of Emergency Management. "An earthquake of that size will cut standard forms of communication, making amateur radio operators critical." The amateur radio event hosted by the Oregon Office of Emergency Management tested amateur radio emergency communication capabilities. More than 2000 messages were sent during the exercise. The training provided an opportunity for county and state amateur radio emergency communication units to prepare for a worst case scenario like a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is a fault line that stretches from offshore British Columbia to California and is capable of producing large mega thrust earthquakes. Experts say there is a 40% chance of a large 9.0 or higher earthquake striking our state within the next 50 years. The Amateur Radio Emergency Service "Quake EX I" exercise is part of a larger effort to prepare for "Cascadia Rising", a large regional exercise designed to simu-

late a scenario like a large Cascadia Quake. Becoming a licensed amateur radio operator and preparing an emergency kit with items for up to two weeks are ways you can help prepare for a major earthquake. More information on how you can become an amateur radio operator can be found at www.arrl.org.

I-84 Fatal Oregon State Police (OSP)troopers from the Pendleton Area Command are continuing the investigation into a fatal traffic crash that occurred early Sunday morning. On Sunday, April 26, at approximately 2:13 a.m., troopers from the Pendleton and La Grande Offices responded to a reported motor vehicle crash on Interstate 84 near milepost 238. Preliminary investigation revealed a 2003, Chevy Tahoe, was traveling eastbound near milepost 238 when the vehicle lost control and traveled through the median where it struck a guardrail then rolled over, coming to rest on its top blocking both westbound lanes of travel. The operator of the Tahoe, identified as STEVEN GARDNER, age 60, from Cove Oregon was pronounced deceased at the scene. The other v e h i c l e o c c u p a n t , B R Y AN YEAGER, 53, of Elgin Oregon, was transported via air ambulance to Kadlec Medical Center in Washington with critical injuries. Both occupants were wearing seat belts at the time of the collision and icy conditions are being investigates as a contributing factor in the crash. The highway remained closed for approximately four hours while Oregon State Police Collision Reconstructionists assisted in conducting the investigation.

ODA about to set the trap for gypsy moths The presence of gypsy moths in Oregon has cooled off in recent years, but detection efforts for the plant-eating invasive insects are about to heat up. Over the next few weeks, survey technicians with the Oregon Department of Agriculture will place nearly 15,000 brightly colored gypsy moth traps in trees and shrubs around the state in an effort to detect any new introductions of a pest that poses a threat to the state’s environment and economy. “It’s critical that we continue to keep an eye on this pest and maintain the detection efforts,” says

Clint Burfitt, manager of ODA’s Insect Pest Prevention and Management Program. “We want to keep the gypsy moth out of Oregon. The traps help us detect any small populations of gypsy moths so they can hopefully be eradicated before spreading and becoming more difficult to get rid of.” Last year, ODA placed less than 12,000 gypsy moth traps around the state but is able to increase that number this spring in response to a couple of developments. In 2014, four European gypsy moths were trapped near Grants Pass in Josephine County after two moths were trapped in the area in 2013. While there wasn’t enough evidence to pinpoint a breeding population of the invasive insect, officials want to increase the trapping density in the area this year to see if the gypsy moth is established locally. In addition, ODA wants to increase the number of traps along the Columbia River and port areas because of a bigger threat of Asian gypsy moth hitching a ride on ships arriving from Asia, particularly Russia.

Attempting to ID Sexual Abuse Suspect in Salem Salem Police Detectives are asking for assistance in identifying a suspect who grabbed a 16-year old female in a sexual manner in a Salem clothing store. The incident occurred on April 12 at the TX Maxx clothing store located on Commercial St NE in Salem. The 16-year old victim was just exiting a fitting room at the store when the suspect approached her and touched her back. When she turned to see who had touched her, the suspect tried to engage her in conversation. The victim did the right thing and told him that she would not talk to him and turned to get away at which time he touched her in a sexual area. As she continued to try and get away he grabbed her by arm, but she was able to pull away and flee down the aisle and notify store employees. The victim was not physically injured. The suspect is described as a Hispanic male adult, approximately 19 years old, approximately 5'08" tall with short dark hair and wearing a grey sweatshirt and shorts.

May is Oregon Wildfire Awareness Month. Oregon experiences its heaviest wildfire activity during the summer, but fires occur all seasons of the year including spring. During May, federal, state, tribal and local fire agencies will be spreading the word about wildfire prevention and the steps Oregonians can take to stop most fires before they start. AT STAKE: LIVES, PROPERTY, FORESTS: When it comes to preventing wildfires, there's a lot at stake - lives, personal property, and the many values provided by Oregon's forests and rangelands. During the 2014 season, 1.3 million acres in the Northwest were consumed by wildfire, which includes 868,399 in Oregon and 425,136 in Washington. The total cost to date exceeds $460 million. Closer to home, 705 human-caused fires burned around 20,000 acres on lands protected by the Oregon Department of Forestry, nearly six times the 10-year average acres. ODF's gross large-fire costs were $75.6 million, and timber losses totaled roughly $227 million. The fires destroyed numerous homes, threatened large communities and decimated key fish and wildlife habitats.

Hwy. 42 Fatal In Douglas Co. Oregon State Police are continuing the investigation into Friday morning's fatal traffic crash on Highway 42 near milepost 75.5 east of Winston in Douglas Co. According to Lieutenant Doug Ladd, on April 1st at approximately 8:50 am, Troopers from the OSP Roseburg office responded to a reported injury crash on Highway 42 near milepost 75.5 in Douglas County. Preliminary investigation revealed a white in color 2007 Chevy crew cab pickup driven by JACOB PEDERSON, age 23, of Roseburg, was eastbound on Highway 42 travelling through the intersection of Highway 42 and Carnes Rd. A dark gray in color 1993 Nissan Sentra driven by NIKKI ALEXANDER, age 31, of Roseburg, was travelling south on Carnes and collided in the middle of the intersection. The Sentra spun and came to a stop in the intersection; the pick-up continued east and came to rest in a ditch on the south side of Highway 42. Both PEDERSON and ALEXANDER were transported to Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg. PEDERSON sustained minor injuries and ALEXANDER died at the hospital. Both were wearing seatbelts. The highway remained closed for approximately 2 hours while Troopers investigated the crash and to allow for the removal of the vehicles.

Wildfire Awareness Month

ment on April 9, 2015 when representatives of the Maps Credit Union and Pioneer Trust Bank in Salem reported fraudulent transactions that involved counterfeit debit cards for several of their customers. Columbia Bank also reported similar activity on the following week with some of their customers. Investigators believe that a skimming device was used to collect data from credit and debit cards as they were used to pay for purchases. A skimming device is an electronic item that is placed on the credit/ debit card reader on machines such as ATMs, gas pumps and other automated readers. The skimming device secretly collects the data from these cards and allows the crooks to gain enough information to use the unsuspecting cardholders' data to make fraudulent purchases. Investigators were able to locate a single point where the victims had all used their cards, a gas station on Lancaster Dr SE. They believe this occurred in March, 2015. The pumps at this gas station have since been inspected, but no skimming device was found. However, a skimming device was found at another gas station on March 11, 2015. The investigation showed that that the counterfeit debit cards were used to purchase expensive electronics, clothing, and gift cards from cities from Medford, Oregon to Vancouver, Washington. The loss in these cases was over $8,400.00. Surveillance photos showed multiple Hispanic males and a female committing these crimes. Those photos were forwarded to retail outlets throughout the region. On April 21, a loss prevention officer at Fred Meyer in Vancouver, Washington recognized three suspects who matched the description of the suspects and was able to get a photo of the suspects and their van with California license plates. The suspect and vehicle information were forwarded to law enforcement agencies in the area. On April 22, Beaverton Police Detective Jason Buelt located the suspects in a hotel in Beaverton and followed them when they left, eventually taking them into custody and seizing large boxes that they were attempting to mail. Subsequent search warrants served on the hotel room, vehicle and the boxes that the suspects were mailing yielded over 100 fraudulent credit/ debit cards, multiple items of high end electronics, new articles of brand name clothing, gift cards, nearly $3,500 in currency and a Louis Vuitton handbag valued at over $3,000. This investigation was coordinated by Salem Police Detective Michael Korcek with the assistance of the Beaverton Police Department, Marion County Sheriff's Office and several other law enforcement agencies. The investigation will continue as investigators attempt to locate and identify more victims in this case, and additional charges may be filed. Said Detective Korcek, "These suspects were very prolific in their activities and were able to steal thousands of dollars worth of goods, services and gift cards. They were very sophisticated in their actions and showed how much damage they can do in a short period of time." Korcek also urges anyone who has gas pumps that take credit/debit/ATM cards to check their machines for anything suspicious. Open the machine and

Lost in this struggle as they try to make ends meet, is their nine-year-old son, Jiale, a bratty, hard to control, little troublemaker. The Lims hire Terry, a Filipino maid as a live-in maid and nanny. Like many other Filipino women, she came to this city in search of a better life. Now is she in a new country where her language and Catholic religion differ from those around her. At first, a resentful Jiale is angry that he has to share a room with the maid, treating Terry as the hated enemy and tricking her into a series of uncomfortable, even humiliating situations. In the absence of his overworked parents, Terry is the only adult who has time for Jiale and the two of them are thrown together more and more. In tenderly played scenes, she slowly wins over the misunderstood boy, to the envy of his pregnant mother. Meanwhile, the family's financial situation worsens and unforeseen circumstances in an uncertain economy will challenge the new normal yet again. The “Friday Foreign Film” series, sponsored by the Friends of Coos Bay Public Library, is normally held on the second Friday of the month and is free to the public. Many of these films are not rated and parental discretion is advised. For more information call 2691101.

will be a great opportunity for people to walk through the garden while it is in full bloom. It is very unique and pretty spectacular,” said Todd Buchholz, the BLM’s Umpqua Field Manager. The BLM, along with the American Rhododendron Society and the Friends group, have been working to restore the garden over the past several years. The garden contains hundreds of rhododendrons and azalea plants, some over 100 years old. Those interested in visiting the garden should check-in at the interpretive kiosk at the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area. Due to limited parking, visitors will be shuttled to the garden. The BLM acquired the rhododendron garden and Spruce Reach Island in 1994. The unique woodland garden is a historic resource that is potentially eligible for inclusion on the Natural Register of Historic Places. The open garden days are co-sponsored by the Douglas County Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the City of Reedsport.
