Police located and arrested Micah Haymes on an outstand- ing arrest warrant for Criminal Mischief II. He was transported to the Curry County Jail and lodged on the warrant. 3.) A local citizen observed several vehicles speed racing on Highway 101 in Port Orford. The citizen signed traffic citations on two people for Careless Driving and Exhibition of Acceleration. They were both issued citations to appear in Municipal Court on the violations. Note: This is an example of how we all police our communi- ty. Sometimes when a violator does not observe police, they feel they can violate laws and get away with it. More commu- nity participation in keeping our community healthy and safe is a good example of how we can all help police our community. Remember its up to all of us working together to achieve a safe environment. Speeder of the week: A vehicle was traveling through Port Orford at 63 MPH in a posted 30 MPH zone.

Miss Me - But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me, I want no rites in a gloom- filled room. Why cry for a soul set free. Miss me-but let me go. For this journey we all must take And each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan, A step on the road to home When you are lonely and sick of heart, Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me - but let me go. After Glow I’d like thememory of me to be a happy one, I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears for those who grieve, today before the sun of happy memories that I leave when my life is done. Jasper L.
