Call Scott at 530-638-6771 POAC news: Lots of events coming By Elaine Roemen For the PON If you have experienced Kelly Thibodeaux and Etouffee then you know their jazzy, rhythmic Cajun music is full of life, the kind you can't resist dancing to. On Valentines Day we are throwing a Mardi Gras Dinner Dance party complete with Etouffee's live music, a scrumptious New Orleans menu cooked up by Julie Hawthorne, Laurie Prouty and Joyce Kinney: jambalaya, corn bread, and all the fixin's, like pecan pie and King cakes. Beer and wine will be avail- able. To come in style to this "masquerade friendly" event, there will be two Mask work- shops at the POAC office on January 31 and February 7th. (Of course you don't have to wear a mask, if you are the seri- ous type.) You can buy tickets for the dinner dance, $20, at the Fun Zone ($25 at the door). This is a fundraiser for the Port Orford Arts Council to help provide Port Orford with art and cultural events throughout the coming year. A grant from the Kinsman Foundation helps in part to sponsor this festive event. See you (if we can guess who's behind that mask) on February 14th, at the dressed up Community Center.

BRIEFS, from page 6 of North County, as it will provide addi- tional water supply in areas that are not hydrated. We began the month of December with our Holiday party. We invite the families of our firefighters and ambulance person- nel. This is a time for us to show our appreciation for all the sacrifices our fam- ilies make on our behalf. When we receive a page, we drop whatever we are doing and instantly respond to our call. Sometimes we do not return for six or more hours. After a long call, we still have several hours of cleanup and retro- fitting our equipment so we are ready to respond to the next call. We know these hours can be long for our families and truly appreciate their patience. This party is an opportunity for us all to get together, enjoy a meal, and spend time relaxing. It is also when we announced our Firefighter of the Year. This year our deserving firefighter is Jim Sigman. He received a special jacket with this desig- nation. This quarter we responded to a variety of difficult and demanding calls. Our commitment to training and safety has resulted in excellent responses. We can never predict what type of call we will have, nor exactly what will be needed. We continue to be fortunate to train with Sixes and Langlois Fire, enabling great mutual aid responses when necessary. In small communities, a multi-agency response is a great asset. We are grateful for the excellent response from Port Orford Community Ambulance, Curry County Deputies, and the State Police as well. We look forward to the upcoming quar- ter. We expect to spend some of our train- ing time on maintaining our necessary recertification for State requirements.

We also plan on training with Port Orford Community Ambulance and Port Orford Police Department. We are all frequently on incidents together and have seen how training together results in the best and safest possible outcome. Our Extrication tools were just serviced and remain in excellent condition, and we expect to train extensively with them, hopefully with some instructors from other agencies. Our priority remains the safety of our firefighters, responders, and community. We look forward to training with some new volunteers. If you are interested in joining the Port Orford Volunteer Fire Department, please call Chief Gayle Wilcox at 332-0445. We are always hop- ing to add committed men and women to our roster of volunteers. We are honored and proud to serve. Respectfully submitted, Gayle Wilcox Chief, Port Orford Volunteer Fire Department Thank a fire fighter Oregon’s first Fire Service Appreciation Day will be Sunday, Jan. 27. The Oregon Legislature has established the day to “honor all those in the Oregon fire service who work to save lives and property, from firefighters who risk their safety and well-being in the course of their duties to the unsung heroes of fire prevention, education, and public infor- mation working behind the scenes.” The date was chosen because the first fire company in the U.S. was organized in Boston on Jan. 27, 1678. The PON would like to take this oppor- tunity to thank all the members of the Port Orford, Volunteer Fire Department, the Sixes Rural Fire Department, the Langlois Fire Department, and the Coos Forest Protective Association for all their hard work and sacrifice. Hughes House seeks help In 2008 Living History was presented on four different days to delighted visitors at historic Hughes House. The Friends of Cape Blanco would like to expand the program during the summer of 2009, per- haps twice a month during June, July, and August. We are in need of a few women who would be able to devote the time neces- sary to learn a short script, rehearse, and spend a day (or more than one day) pre- senting the skit at Hughes House. Needed are a woman or two close to age 70 to portray Jane Hughes and two or three women close to age 30 to portray Annie Hughes, Jane's daughter-in-law. If we have at least two women for each charac- ter, we will have a backup in case some- one can't be present on the day of a planned presentation. Costumes are pro- vided. If interested, please call Shirley or Milt Nelson at 332-9002.
