Port Orford News Page 6 • July 29, 2009 Life with Brice: Bandon’s big, new American flag is a real eye-catcher By Brice Wagner PON staff writer Various interests got an idea and went with it. Perhaps some of you readers noticed a tall white flag pole standing on the south end of Bandon for quite some time awaiting a flag to fly. It is located in front of The Bandon RFPD fire station which houses many pieces of equipment. Here are the dimensions in case some of you wonder how large this beautiful flag is. Brice Wagner The flag pole is 100 feet tall.It is a three piece pole made of fiberglass in Connecticut, assem- bled with special epoxy by the Bandon Firemen. The flag measures 30 feet in height by 60 in length. The pole is 18 inches at the base and tapers to 10 inches at the top. The halyard is internal as the flag pole is a hollow tube. A locked door at the base allows firemen to raise and lower the flag at will. In winter and bad weather a smaller 12 by 18 foot flag will fly. ◆ Coming soon will be the further adventures of Bill Cobb. PON photos by Brice Wagner Shown at right is the very beautiful new American Flag being flown in Bandon. BRIEFS, from page 5 women to join them.

The liquid coating contained chitosan, which comes from crustacean shells and can be made into film for food wrap- ping to keep out bacteria and fungi and prolong storage life. What's unusual about the OSU study is that fish oil was added to the chitosan coating, which wasn't visible once it dried. After the coating was applied, some fillets were refrigerated for three weeks while others were frozen for three months. The study, which has been accepted for publication in the journal Food Chemistry and has been published on its Web site, found that the coating tripled the omega-3 fatty acids in the refrigerated and frozen fish when compared against the uncoated fish. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients, and research suggests that increasing them may have a number of health benefits. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says spe- cific ones may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. But questions still remain about how these fatty acids might prevent or treat certain diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in oily fish like salmon, macker- el and sardines, but lean fish such as cod, grouper, catfish and swordfish have lower amounts. Lingcod was chosen for the study because it's a popular fish on the West Coast and doesn't have much fat. In addition to increasing the omega-3 levels in the lingcod, the OSU study also found that the coating reduced lipid oxida- tion, which causes rancidity, in the refrigerated and frozen sam- ples when compared with the uncoated fillets. The coating also kept the fish moister than the uncoated samples as the frozen ones were thawing. Additionally, the coating delayed the growth of microor- ganisms in the fresh fillets, and it prevented their growth in the frozen ones. The coating did not affect the color of the fillets. The study, which was con- ducted with help from OSU postdoctoral research associate Jingyun Duan and associate pro- fessor Gita Cherian, was funded by the Oregon Innovation Council through the Community Seafood Initiative. Zhao and her team eventually plan to conduct taste tests on the treated fillets. The Port Orford News’ office is located at 519 W. 10th St., Port Orford.

That's because OSU scientists have extended the shelf life of lingcod fillets and possibly made them more nutritious by dipping them into an edible, protective coating enriched with fish oil. "With this coating, you can easily keep the fillets in the dis- play case for two to three more days," said OSU food science professor Yanyun Zhao, the lead E-mail all listings and advertising requirements to portorfordnews@gmail.com 541-425-5028 Dud & Suds Preservation process for filets pioneered Fone Finder Medical Services Come see us at our new Port Orford location at 519 W. 10th, just off Highway 101.
