Be sure to pick up a copy of The Sentinel today and catch my story about ORCCA and the SCFS (South Coast Food Share) deficit. Even though he said he would “try to have available for you the same document I am giving to the World”, the executive director, Mike Lehman, still hasn’t supplied a list of the fifteen grants he attributed to the new development director, Deborah Ross. 
Lehman’s statement is curious because it would be odd to provide different lists to MGx and The World but at any rate I understand the paper is still waiting for its list as well.
As always, the board of directors remains silent and has yet to supply a promised plan for sustaining SCFS through its current financial troubles.
Relax wassup. I was respectfully disagreeing with you as I have local knowledge on this point. Seeing how little you know of the entire situation, I don’t know why you bothered commenting.
Waaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!
Dear Salmonologist, where is Lane County? Nice to read that the local gathering of mosquitos have a spokesperson. Also nice to read that only a few Bandon area malcontents have been bitten or are anti mosquito. That probably comes as news to the Bandon Mayor, council, and others. These few malcontents have apparently been bamboozled by the effort led by your neighbors Taylor and Chance – both unknown to me. Also always good to know that the mosquitos position has been well represented. I look forward to your efforts to return the coast of Oregon to swamp land. Hopefully with the swamp you will not cause an outbreak of malaria or denque fever.
wassup – I respectfully disagree on your first points. I live in Bandon and have only seen a handful of mosquitoes and not one bite. Friends at the Dunes said they have been bothersome but they are as busy as ever and no one has left because of them. Friends that work in downtown Bandon said they haven’t been bothered and have not lost any business because of them. Most folks in Bandon (not “Coos County”, don’t be hyperbolic) are not overly concerned about the spread of mosquitoes, and other Oregon counties have experienced a bad summer for mosquitoes. I doubt that they flew all the way to Lane County, so unless you have proof that the Bandon mosquitoes have been traveling all over the state, it is most likely a problem due to the increased temperatures we are all experiencing. Also, remember that work on the Marsh has been going on for over 12 years, and this is the only year that people have complained about mosquitoes. Most folks in Bandon are NOT against the Marsh, just a few loudmouths, and they seem to enjoy fishing the river and grilling up the catch, so please don’t speak for everyone in Coos County, your opinions are yours alone.
I know this is the kind of thing you do best, but I don’t understand the obsession with whether there were ten grants filed or fifteen. They were audited by an outside agency. It’s clear you didn’t like the outcome but continuing to harass them isn’t going to change the fact that no wrong doing was identified. If Lehman suddenly admitted that he had only fourteen grants instead of the quoted fifteen do you think anyone’s going to care?
I have the utmost confidence that Mike will find a way to keep the organization viable and funded and your free food supply flowing.
It’s just easier to turn a blind eye isn’t it.
Thanks. Perhaps your next fact based article for the Sentinel can explain why most folks of Bandon oppose marshes and mosquitos. Most folks in Coos County are concerned about the spread of the mosquitos. The board of county commissioners is doing all to get rid of the mosquitos. Yet your good friend, and close friend of CCAP, recently defrocked county commissioner Messerle, is doing all possible to create more marshes and mosquitos in your neighborhood. Or maybe you could write about the transfer of power at everybody’s favorite local do nothing organization, SCDC, where Ms. Messerle, who wants the natural gas pipeline on our property but not hers, departed in July. The World paper apparently forgot to cover either subject.
