There were also two sepa- rate incidents where individuals were cited for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana as a result of traffic stops for other offenses. April 18 Officers conducted a Pedestrian Safety Enforcement event from 10- 1:30 p.m. This event was mainly focused on motorist education on their responsibilities for pedestrian safety. This event resulted in 30 traf- fic stops in the 3 ½ hour event. 12 citations were issued for fail- ing to yield to a pedestrian, along with 18 warnings for the same offense. One citation was issued for passing a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Other traffic laws were also enforced during this event as well. We had one driver cited for driving with a suspended license, and three were cited for no proof of insurance. One received a citation for expired vehicle license. Three other motorists were cited for speed. Traffic enforcement activity is starting to increase with improving weather. Officers issued 16 citations for speeding, along with 14 warnings. One seatbelt citation was issued along with seven warnings. One crosswalk citation was issued along with one warning. Four other citations were issued along with nine warnings. We have a three way tie for the “notorious driver of the week.” The first one is the speeder of the week cited for 53 miles per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone. This occurred during the lunch hour. PON photo by Matt Hall P.O.P.D. officers are shown questioning motorists during the Pedestrian Safety Event held recently in Port Orford. In the background is the PHS car wash. The second driver passed the school crossing guard and other stopped vehicles. This driver stated that she did not see the crossing guard, the guard’s flag, or the other two lanes with stopped vehicles. The crossing guard had to step back and raise the crossing flag to avoid impacting the vehi- cle. Our third contender is the commercial vehicle driver cited for careless driving in the school zone. This driver was driving fast, swerving between lanes, and not using his directional signals. Medication disposal program announced in Port Orford The City of Port Orford has instituted a program to dispose of unwanted, expired, or no longer needed medications. There have been significant problems in several areas of the country because of medications leaching into ground water from landfills, or entering surface water bodies from wastewater treatment systems. Wastewater treatment systems are not designed to detoxify medications. These compounds travel, relatively unchanged, Port Orford News is sold at the following locations: Bandon Ray’s Food Place Fraser’s Restaurant Circle K Java John’s Langlois: Langlois Market Gold Beach: Nesika Beach Market Greasy Spoon Port Orford: Wedderburn Market Ray’s Food Place Suds n Duds Central Curry 76 Paradise Cafe McKay’s Market Hwy. 101 Liquor Port Orford News Oldest newspaper on the Oregon Coast 82 years and still going strong Phone (541) 332-NEWS, or (541) 260-3638 519 W. 10th St. • P.O.

Names of persons bringing in medications are not recorded. Prescription, and non-prescrip- tion (over the counter) drugs are included in this program. People are encouraged to drop medications off to the Police Department in order to assure proper disposal. Please do not flush medica- tions down the toilet. Please don’t place them in the trash. High temperature incineration ensures that these unwanted medications will not cause envi- ronmental degradation, and will be destroyed properly.

The new program will be free of charge, and available to any- one who brings medications to the Police Department. These medications will be placed into a storage container, and will be periodically destroyed by high temperature incineration. These medications will be handled in a manner similar to other medica- tions that come into police cus- tody. The containers can also be destroyed in the same manner. Since containers often have personal identification informa- tion on them, we encourage, but do not require, people to remove the labels. We can dump the medications into our secure con- tainer and return the containers if desired, or the containers can be stored and incinerated at the same time as the medications. All handling of the medica- tion and containers will be done in a secure manner. The program is voluntary, and free, with no questions asked. When a person drops off unwanted medications at the police department, the medica- tions will be “logged in” on a form for the purpose. There is no need to take a count of the Fone Finder! public. The two hard working men buddies Jim Laskaris and Forrest(Rosie) Rosenberry met and worked at Western States plywood on the bushling crew. They made up the two parts of a four-man crew that made the plywood piece by piece. In each crew were two sheet turners and a core layer, and a core feeder. This was back in 1964 and Forrest and Jim have been bud- dies ever since. Now the owners are Forrest and Emma Rosenberry and Jim Laskaris.
