North Bend disputes housing forecast

By KATHLEEN STINSON

For The World

Members of the North Bend City Council and discussed concerns they have with a consultant’s report based on state mandated population growth projections at a work session on Monday.

The city is concerned that state mandated growth projection data does not

match the realty of the population growth and housing needs of North Bend. The city’s housing needs analysis report council discussed on Monday is based on this data.

Portland based planning consultants MIG|APG presented the housing needs analysis report to council.

Some council members and city staff said the population growth projections did not

match their understanding of the realities of the housing situation in North Bend.

Oregon Revised Statutes require local governments that are changing their comprehensive plan and land use regulations to use population forecast data from Portland State University’s Population Research Center, said Matt Hastie, project manager with APG in his presentation to council.

Based on the city’s concerns with the population growth data in the report and how that then translates to the city’s housing needs, Public Works Director Ralph Dunham contacted the consultants and the state Division of Land Conservation and Development recently.

He described the city’s concerns over using PRC’s

New rabbits hopping into Bandon

Some new bunnies recently made their Easter debut

By BREE LAUGHLIN The World

Rabbits from Hopping’s Rabbitry in Bandon visited Dragonfly Farm and Nursery for Easter, and they will be back at the farm for Earth Day celebrations on April 22 and 23.

Wendy and Matt Hopping said the Easter event was their first major appearance since setting up their rabbitry in Bandon. The couple moved to Coos County from their homestead in Snowflake, Arizona last year.

The Hoppings are originally from Oregon. They said they are happy to be back in their home state – and to share their passion for rabbits with the local community.

“We definitely want to get involved with educational groups and teach more people about rabbits and how to take care of them – and let people know how great of a pet they are,” said Wendy Hopping.

The Hoppings brought a couple of their angora rabbits (the super soft fluffy ones), two baby Lionheads, and Toofur – their indoor pet rabbit to Dragonfly Farm in Langlois. They also brought grooming supplies, carders and a spinning wheel for people to see and try.

“We love educating people of all ages,” Wendy said.

The Hoppings started breeding and caring for rabbits on a large scale when they moved to a homestead in Arizona just before the pandemic.

Council continues to discuss camping ordinance

By KATHLEEN STINSON For The World

The city of North Bend has until July 1 to adopt a homeless camping ordinance to provide a time, manner and place for people to sleep.

City Public Works Director Ralph Dunham discussed the draft ordinance with council

Commissioners discuss closing forest lands

By KATHLEEN STINSON For The World

The Coos County Commission discussed the issue of whether to close public vehicle road access to forest lands at its Tuesday meeting.

In public comment, a citizen Rob Taylor asked the commission whether it had held a work session on the question or voted to close the roads to the public.

One of the commissioners said no decision has been made.

Commissioner Rod Taylor said he campaigned on the issue of keeping access to the roads open. However, he said every week the county get reports of illegal dumping, including slaughtered domestic animal remains, and recently 10 trees were illegally cut and taken away, presumably for fire wood.

“As much as I support the right of people to access land, we have a responsibility to the citizens to protect those assets,” the commissioner said.

He said he has not found a “suitable technological solution to the problem, and it does appear for the time, the most prudent thing” to do would be to gate those roads.

A few people are ruining this for everybody, he said.

In other business, the Coos County Commission authorized repairs in the amount of $25,000 as an insurance deductible to repair a drainage problem at the Oaks Pavilion in the county fairgrounds.

Chairman of the Coos County Fair Board Brad Burnette said french drains outside the Pavilion are insufficient to drain water away and it is leaking into the building, causing it to sink at one end.

A drain at least five feet deep needs to be constructed to replace the existing 18- inch french drains and the support beams need to be raised, Burnette said.

The county commission voted to use this repair payment to satisfy the $25,000 deductible in the insurance policy.

In other business, Michele Zwartjes, field supervisor with the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife Service made a presentation on a study underway to determine the feasibility of relocating sea otters to the Southern Coast of Oregon.

Zwartjes said the department is in the process of organizing open houses in towns along the coast to take public comment on the issue to complete the study.

She said the Oregon and Northern California coastal areas form “the largest remaining gap” of the sea otter habitat. The goal is to restore the species.

Such a relocation would benefit the fisheries, the ecotourism industry, and have a cultural value for the indigenous people, she said.

members at a work session on Monday.

Dunham said House Bill 3115 and HB 3124 require the city to dictate a time, manner and place for the homeless to sleep on public land.

No specific number of hours has been set by law and the existing standard is reasonable accommodations,

he said.

Roadside rest stops limit the time to 12 hours, said City Administrator David Milliron.

Mayor Jessica Engelke said: “We are not solving the homeless crisis with this…Our task at hand is to comply with what the law is asking us. … What is the minimum that we need to do to comply with

law.”

The state and county will have a “larger discussion” of the issue in the future, Engelke said.

The city ordinance as it is currently written prohibits this type of camping in residential zones, except as provided by

The plan would be to reintroduce three wild pups a year for a total of 100, she said.

Also on the agenda, the commission voted to approve a grant agreement with the Ford Family Foundation, which will provide $80,000 towards the cost of repairing the old bleachers at the county rodeo arena.

“I am not sure how we get to a more realistic number, but honestly believe the 0.3% is both unrealistically low, and a detriment to the community should it stand. What can we do about this?”

The consultants’ Housing Needs Analysis report estimates in North Bend a 20 year growth rate in population of 0.3%.

City Administrator David Milliron said at the work session that in the past four years the city’s population has grown by 804 people. An estimate of less than a percent of growth in 20 years “does not equate.”

Council also heard a report on a job growth forecast and the need for employment land, based on the same state mandated population forecast data the consultants are required to use.

Mogan Foundation 2023 Cycle is Open for Grant Funding Applications

The Judith Ann Mogan Foundation’s (JAMF) 2023 Grant Cycle is open for Letters of Inquiry (LOI) from Oregon-based nonprofits and deadline for LOI submissions is May 15. JAMF looks to distribute more than $1MM in grants to projects that benefit Coos, Curry, and Coastal Douglas County communities. Grants are awarded to projects that support one or more of the foundation’s priority areas: Arts & Culture, Children & Youth, Community Health, Convening

& Gathering Places, Economic Development, Environment & Natural Resources, and Poverty Alleviation. Visit the Foundation’s webpage at jamoganfoundation. org for more information about grant funding guidelines, timeline, and eligibility requirements. After the LOI submission phase, organizations with projects that are eligible for grants will be invited to go through an application stage that

begins May 31 and ends July 15. Grant funds for approved projects will be distributed in October.

In 2021, JAMF distributed awards to 25 organizations for 31 projects. 2022 saw an increase in the number of organizations awarded to 35, benefiting 39 projects. Total grant funding for both years was over $3 million, benefiting Southern Oregon Coast communities.

Mayor Jessica Engelke, together with North Bend Police Chief Gary McCullough, issued a proclamation recognizing April 2023 as Child Abuse Awareness Month.

National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month acknowledges the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect. According to the 2021 Child Maltreatment report, there were nearly 590,000 victims of child abuse and neglect reported across our nation. Prevention and education services, such as those provided by the Bay Area Hospital Kids’ HOPE Center, can help protect children and strengthen families.

The Kids’ HOPE Center exists to reduce child abuse through community awareness and intervention and to provide support for healing and victim justice.

The HOPE Center holds an annual Pinwheels for Prevention event to create awareness surrounding Child Abuse Awareness Month in April. The pinwheels planted earlier this week at the Kids’ HOPE Center represent the 309 child victims served during the previous calendar year. This event, while sobering, was also a celebration of the fantastic work of the Kids’ HOPE Center and to thank our community partners that support the work of the Center.

North Bend Awards The Devereux Center $1,500 Grant

NB Council proclaims April as National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month City of

The Devereux Center recently received a $1,500 grant for community services from the City of North Bend Revenue Sharing Community Grant Program. The Devereux Center provides many services at no charge to its homeless clients. In addition to its warming center and Coalbank Village shelter in Coos Bay, the nonprofit organization also provides laundry facilities; showers and hygiene supplies; hot meals; short-term food

bags; sleeping bags, tarps, and blankets; internet and computer access; mail and phone message services; bus passes (Bay Area to Coquille for court, appointments, and parole meetings); advocacy; job postings; vocational development; housing assistance; bi-weekly dental screenings; birth certificate and ID help; and access to other community resources, The North Bend City Council annually awards limited

funds via grants to community groups and projects. This is done in connection with North Bend’s budget process. The funds are, in essence, state funds the City receives as its portion of the Oregon revenue sharing to cities. Part of the Council’s criteria in considering grant applications is whether a particular community group or project helps cut the need for public assistance or aids one of our municipal departments.

Marshfield students shine at CTE state competition

Andrew Post (CTE Tech instructor) and Glen Cook (CTE Manufacturing instructor) had the privilege of taking a group of students from the Broadcast Journalism (instructor is Drew Jones) and Manufacturing programs up to Portland for a few days to compete in the SkillsUSA State Leadership and Skills Conference.

SkillsUSA is a national Career Technical Student Organization (CTSO). The 1st place winners of the national qualifying events may go represent their state at the national level.

Elizabeth Delgado and Ava Thomas won the state title in Audio & Radio Production and will represent Marshfield in the national tournament. It was definitely a

challenge as our students competed against some of the best CTE programs in the state. However, through hard work and dedication to their skills, they were able to compete with the best the state has to offer across all school classifications and continue to add to the Pirate legacy. Broadcast Journalism is going to have the opportunity to

send a team in Audio and Radio Production to nationals for the second year in a row. Manufacturing students decided to branch out from the traditional welding events and competed in Additive Manufacturing, Safety Participation, Technical Drafting, and Technical Related Math. I am very proud of these exceptional students.

To The Generous Supporters of The 41st Holiday Food Basket Distribution

Now that we have our final numbers in hand for the accomplishments you helped us all achieve, we would like to share with you the results of the 2022 project and recognize you for your generosity letting you know just how great an impact you have had on your neighbors.

In 2022 you once again provided assistance to those in need of the most basic daily requirement we all have. Not just food, but a source of good nutrition. Your support made it possible for us to distribute over 106,000 pounds of food to 960 families along the southern Oregon coast. With your help we were able to provide 52,000 pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables, 45,000 pounds of non-perishable canned and packaged foods and 9,000 pounds of dairy and meat protein products.

As always, we cannot thank you enough for your support. On behalf of the Knights of Columbus Council 1261, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and mostly on behalf of those you came to the aid of, Thank You for caring.

In addition to the over 200 private donors we would like to recognize the following businesses, Foundations, Service Organizations and municipal organizations for their invaluable commitments to this project.

Thanks to: Les’s Sanitary Service, Roto Rooter Service of Coos Bay/North Bend, Peterson CAT, Sause Bros., Ferguson Transfer, Best Western Holiday Hotel, City of North Bend, Oregon State Dept. of Human Services, St. Monica’s Church, The Coos Foundation, The Ford Family Foundation, The Keiser Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, The Coquille Indian Tribe, United Way of Southwestern Oregon, Southwest ILWU, Juul Insurance, McKay’s Markets, Knights of Columbus Councils in Florence and Bandon, Main Rock Products and the assistance of South Coast Food Share, the Food For All FFA students of Perrydale Oregon and the North Bend H.S Culinary Program. Secondly, to Grocery Outlet of Brookings who partnered to provide perishable products to those recipients in Brookings, OR. A very special thanks to the Oregon Army National Guard who continued to opened their doors and provided the use of the local Armory building for the distribution of all your generosity.

Your support and participation in this project reflects the culture and unselfish nature of those who live and work on the South Coast. You continue to demonstrate a powerful and meaningful example of caring about those less fortunate than yourselves and turning simple words into real time actions of caring about your neighbors in need.

The city of North Bend’s new Pierce fire engine is now in production. The cab was fabricated last week and ought to move to staging this week at Hughes Fire Equipment in Bradenton, Florida. The city had been banking $45,000 annually toward new

equipment until the administration proposed another option to save taxpayers at least $139,000. The City Council approved the purchase in January 2022 ahead of inflationary price increases by financing the acquisition inhouse. The fire

department borrowed money from the wastewater fund and paid it back with one percent interest.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, the lifetime of a fire engine is a maximum of 15 years, so the new apparatus will replace equipment already past its prime.

Do you ever wonder who the person behind emergency calls to 9-1-1 is? All we know about them is their voice, which is why National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, observed every second week in April, has been set aside to recognize and celebrate the work of

telecommunicators helping to save millions of lives every day. Without the telecommunicators flawlessly doing their jobs, billions of lives would have been lost due to untimely assistance.

So, throughout April 9-15, the city of North Bend honored and

thanked those invisible telecommunicators who have continued to serve in this demanding profession.

During Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Mayor Jessica Engelke, together with North Bend Police Chief Gary McCullough, proclaimed National Telecommunicator’s Week to honor public safety telecommunicators for their commitment, service and sacrifice. North Bend contracts with the City of Coos Bay, which operates North Coos 9-1-1 and collectively employs 14 public safety dispatchers. North Coos 9-1-1 provides dispatch service

A little fishy at the Sawdust Theatre

Something was a little “fishy” at the Sawdust Theatre Saturday

Deep in the salty waters of the Sassafras Sea, there lived a Little Mermaid whose name was Celia (Elizabeth Huff). It was said that she had the loveliest scales in all the Deep. Celia and her three sisters (Haley Stone, Madison Pylant and Kylie Horstman) were allowed one visit to the World

their sixteenth birthday. Each swooned over Prince Charming (Phoenix Bustin) as he fought off dragons and plundering armies.

Gil, the Merboy next door (Harlan Morse) remained supportive of Cecelia’s endeavor to woo the Prince despite his obvious crush on Cecelia. The Country Singin’ Starfish (Ayana Mace) helped Cecelia

gain legs but as the word “Fish Fry” were shouted, Cecelia realized all she needed was her friends and family back home.

Forty eight drama kings and drama queens took on the roles in the Little Mermaid: the Royal King and

Queen (Dane Sheritt and Michelle Isle), the poetic Town Criers( (Zoey Rodrigues, Madison Fanno, Estelle Greer, Zach Pedrick), the dynamic Sea Scouts (Presley Bundy, Grace Huff, Lyric Cagley, Dani Paff, Mckenzie O’Bannon, Kirsten Fleshman, Lillian Wirebaugh, Chloe Baker, Kira Helms), the snoopy Seasiders (Mia Paff, Munroe King, Jude Bustin, Erin Sherman, Chylie Rowe, Olivia Shorb, Madison Isle, Noelle Yarnell, Abigail, Fanno), and the adorable galloping Seahorses (Scarlett Schafer, Harper Starks, Eloise Deters, Ariel Williamson, Theo Lewis, Elliot Colven, Daniel Seals, Ember Bustin, Logan Gibbs, Lelyn

Bustin, Eden Fish, Everly Bundy, Westley Clark, Karli Dixon, Sadie Johnson).

These talented youths performed in this delightful Missoula Children’s Theatre original adaptation of Little Mermaid, as it wound through it’s new version of the age old tale, lots of music, plot surprises and plenty of “fishy” jokes. After just five days of rehearsals (auditions were April 3rd), the show was a hit! If you did not “catch” the show, Missoula Children’s Theater Tour will be back November 6th for auditions. Rapunzel will be performed November 11th at the Sawdust Theatre.

Southwestern Oregon Community College continues our 2022-23 Physics and Astronomy Lecture Series welcoming Dr. Davide Lazzati, Physics Chair at Oregon State University, on Thursday April 20, 2023 at 6:30 pm in the Umpqua Hall auditorium on the Coos Campus (1988 Newmark Ave., Coos Bay). Dr. Lazzati will discuss one of the more explosive topics in all of the cosmos: Gamma-Ray Bursts. These cosmic explosions pique the interest of many astronomers and space fanatics and Dr. Lazzati

will provide insight into their mechanisms and explosive nature.

Dr. Lazzati shares the following, “Gammaray bursts are the brightest explosion in the known Universe. Discovered in gammaray radiation, these powerful explosions are now also known to emit powerfully in gravitational waves and are the farthest objects in the universe to have been visible with the naked eye and to produce upper atmospheric disturbances on Earth. In this talk I will review the properties and physics of these

fascinating sources, discussing what we know, and what still needs to be understood.”

The talk will be streamed live for those that cannot come to campus. Access the live stream at this link: livestream.com/swocc/ physicsand astronomy2022-23.

For more information about the lecture series contact Dr. Aaron Coyner, Associate Professor of Physics, at 541-888-7244, aaron. coyner@socc.edu.

He deserves a second chance

We are the victim survivors of a tragedy that took place in Coos County in 2001, a very long time ago.

Lymon Henson Young was convicted of manslaughter and assault after he caused a car accident that killed his passenger (Austin Clary, our loved one) and injured two others. Yet we are writing this letter in support of our dear friend Lymon, whose case is currently being reevaluated due to Ramos v. Louisiana, the recent ruling by the US Supreme Court finding non-unanimous jury convictions in criminal cases unconstitutional. Lymon was convicted based on a nonunanimous jury verdict.

We are both stunned and in complete disbelief that Paul Frazier, the district attorney in Coos County, wants to retry Lymon. He has already served more than 18 years of a 21year sentence and has been a model prisoner throughout his incarceration. It’s time to let this go and for Lymon to be forgiven and given a second chance at life outside of prison. We implore the DA Frazier to consider the impact that a re-prosecution would have on all of us who were affected by this case.

During his 18 years in prison, Lymon has used the time to undergo significant personal growth and rehabilitation. He has been sober for more than 18 years and has worked hard to better himself while incarcerated. A reprosecution at this point would be an exorbitant waste of our tax dollars and an unnecessary emotional burden on our family. Lymon has already paid a heavy price for his mistakes and has shown that he is willing to take responsibility for his actions. He has expressed genuine remorse for his past behavior and has made significant efforts to make amends.

In conclusion, we hope

Proclamations

By MAYOR JOE BENETTI Guest Column

As I reflect on this week’s Council meeting, I can’t help but think about the centuries old idiom that many hands make light work. It emphasizes the importance of teamwork and cooperation. There is a simple truth to that saying, just as there is truth in the statement that when everyone gets involved in something, together we make a better community. This week the City Council approved three proclamations which highlight community cooperation.

The first proclamation approved by the Council was in recognition of National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. It saddens me that such recognition is necessary. According to the 2021 Child Maltreatment report, there were nearly 590,000 victims of child abuse and neglect reported across our nation. National Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect.

Prevention and education services, such as the services provided by the Kids’ Hope Center here in Coos Bay can

that the district attorney will ultimately make the right decision and put an end to this unnecessary ordeal. Lymon has served his time and has worked hard to become a better person. He deserves a second chance at life outside of prison.

A Colorado reservoir gets ready for an epic snowmelt

By DAVE MARSTON Writers on the Range

Reservoir manager Ken Beck says wryly that he has lots of water coming his way, “and I need a hole to put it in.”

In southern Colorado, Beck is the superintendent of Pine River Irrigation District and Vallecito Reservoir, which catches water from the 13,000 and 14,000-foot-high peaks of the Weminuche Wilderness. It’s a place so wild and beautiful that Teddy Roosevelt protected it in 1905 by creating the 1.8-million-acre San Juan National Forest.

The name Vallecito means “little valley” in Spanish, and the reservoir stores water for the town of Bayfield, population 2,838, as well as providing supplemental irrigation for 65,000 acres of Tribal and non-tribal land to the south.

This winter, Beck has been faced with a near-record snowpack, now expected to turn into some 320,000 acrefeet of water. His 82-yearold reservoir, however, can only hold 125,000 acre-feet. What’s more, snow was still falling in early April.

In late March, Beck saw moisture going up dramatically. Any reservoir manager has to deal with uncertainty, but Beck’s job, which he has held for seven years, has an Achilles heel.

“I was told by the Bureau (of Reclamation) to manage my reservoir so I don’t use my spillway,” he says. “We’re restricted because of the needed repairs.”

Spillways are critical elements of any dam. When oncoming water overwhelms the intakes for hydroelectric and outlet works, excess water flows into the riverbed below. Beck has few options without the safety valve of a dependable spillway, yet he may be forced to use it.

Beck is well aware that dams can fail. Six major dams have failed in Colorado since 1950, with the biggest disaster occurring in Larimer County, in 1982. When its Lawn Lake Dam failed, three people died and property damage amounted to $31 million.

Beck says Vallecito’s management challenges came to the fore after “the big wakeup call of 2017, when Lake Oroville fell apart

Representatives from the Kids’ Hope Center were on hand at the Council meeting and read the proclamation which was unanimously approved by the Council.

The second proclamation approved by the Council was in recognition of National Volunteer Week which this year is April 16 - 22. The week-long celebration places a spotlight on those who give of their time and talents and who collectively are bettering the communities around the nation and our world in general.

While I know many who volunteer throughout the City of Coos Bay, I was surprised to learn there are more than 170 citizens who make up the volunteer total.

Some serve as volunteer firefighters, reserve police officers, disabled parking enforcement, park or marina host at one of the City’s many parks, or in the Library.

Others give of their time and talents as they serve on one of the many city related boards, committees or commissions such as:

in California.” California’s tallest dam, Oroville, resembles Vallecito in being earthen built. It nearly failed when its spillways began eroding during high runoff.

Soon after, Vallecito’s dam was closely inspected, revealing leaks and erosion in its spillway. The Bureau of Reclamation, which built the dam, patched up the spillway but also put the dam “under review.”

By the end of March, Beck had released 15 times more water daily than during the previous month. By late April, Beck estimates, the formerly half-empty Vallecito Reservoir be just 20% full, better prepared for what could be an epic snowmelt.

In the arid West, this makes Beck a reservoir apostate. Spring is when reservoir managers follow a creed that’s been honed during periodic drought: Store as much water as possible as early as possible.

For Beck, that’s not wise. “But don’t mistake my being meek as weak,” he says. “I’ve got an Abe Lincoln style: Wrap good people around you and encourage them to say things you might not want to hear.”

Beck has surrounded himself with a team of straight shooters, though he relies most on Susan Behery, a Bureau of Reclamation hydrologic engineer, based in Durango. With Behery’s advice, Beck decided that Vallecito’s reservoir needed to be dramatically drawn down.

Evidence for doing that was obvious this winter as roofs sagged, driveways became minicanyons, and snow at the nearby Purgatory ski area outside Durango reached 20 feet high in places. USDA SNOTEL sites above Vallecito Reservoir measured snowpacks at 170% and 180% of normal.

With so much big water ready to head their way, a reservoir manager might have decided to operate quietly and hope for the best. Instead, Behery says, Beck has been transparent with the public and collaborative. She admires Beck for it.

“I’m an engineer and nobody gets into engineering because

they’re super good with people. I don’t do the fluffy stuff.”

Beck makes a lot of information available. He holds open meetings and emails a weekly newsletter to anyone interested. “A lot of people are asking why we’re turning out more water,” he says, “but I just met with farmers that say I haven’t brought it down enough.”

What does Beck predict will happen to his reservoir as snowmelt barrels toward Vallecito Reservoir?

“If spring rains come it will add to the pucker factor. But the spillway will hold.” Meanwhile, he’s a little bit on edge.

New study to look at non-market values of Oregon’s Marine Reserves

Oregon’s Marine Reserves Program will take part in a groundbreaking new study designed to estimate how Oregonians assign value to the reserves beyond traditional economic impacts.

The study’s results will reflect something akin to some nations’ “National Happiness Index,” which are measures of the collective happiness and well-being of a country’s population.

Conducted by faculty at Utah State and Oregon State universities, the Subjective Well-Being study is a continuation of an earlier project considering “non-market values” of the marine reserves. It will quantify concepts like what it means just to know five marine reserves exist in Oregon’s nearshore waters dedicated to research and with prohibitions on fishing and development.

In the survey, participants will be asked a series of questions on scenarios designed to investigate how they think these scenarios impact their well-being. Those changes to subjective well-being should help researchers understand how these responses relate to their attitudes toward non-market values.

These non-market values are in addition to traditional economic values like tourism dollars, income from research contracts with commercial fishing captains and other impacts to coastal communities.

“What we’re doing is pretty ground-breaking,” said Dr. Tommy Swearingen, the Marine Reserves Program’s Human Dimensions Project leader. “Subjective well-being has never been part of the equation.”

“Many people want us to measure these non-market values,” Swearingen said. “We’re trying to quantify the

perceived benefits to the general public. Doing so will allow a more three-dimensional view of the socioeconomic values of the reserves. The research format also can be used in similar studies of other aspects of the environment.”

The study will begin this spring with an online survey sent to a crosssection of Oregonians who have previously agreed to participate in online surveys. That round of questions will be used to help finalize the questions for the upcoming main survey, which is expected in late summer or fall.

Swearingen said the random sample in the final survey will be comprised of at least 1,200 Oregonians, half of whom will encounter subjective wellbeing questions and the other will get questions in a more conventional form of economic survey.

Those individuals will receive a post card to ask whether they are interested in participating and whether they would prefer responding as a mail survey or online.

Enacted by the Oregon Legislature in 2009, the Marine Reserves Program includes five actual marine reserves and nine protected areas that together cover nine percent of Oregon’s nearshore ocean waters. No plants or animals can be removed from the reserves and development is prohibited. They are underwater listening stations tracking ocean changes including fish, invertebrate and algal communities. It is the first long-term nearshore ocean conservation and monitoring program run by the state of Oregon and includes cutting-edge research on the economic, social, and cultural dynamics of the Oregon coast and coastal communities.
