Americans across the nation are preparing to celebrate Flag Day on Saturday, June 14th, an annual observance dedicated to honoring the United States ﬂag and commemorating its pivotal adoption by the Second Continental Congress in 1777. Flag Day marks the anniversary of the Stars and Stripes be-

coming the official United States flag on June 14, 1777, during the throes of the Revolutionary War. Prior to this, colonial troops fought under a myriad of diverse flags, each bearing distinct symbols and slogans, reflecting the varied identities of the colonies.

The need for a uniﬁed national emblem became clear following the Declaration of Independence. While not a federal holiday, meaning most businesses and

government ofﬁces will remain open, Flag Day holds deep historical and symbolic signiﬁcance for many. Pennsylvania stands out as the only state to recognize it as a state holiday.

The concept of Flag Day emerged from various local celebrations in the late 19th century, championed by individuals like Wisconsin schoolteacher Bernard J. Cigrand and William T. Kerr, who tirelessly advocated for its

recognition. President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation in 1916, ofﬁcially establishing June 14th as Flag Day, a move solidiﬁed in 1949 when President Harry Truman signed an Act of Congress formally designating it as National Flag Day. Congress further requested that the President annually declare the week encompassing June 14th as National Flag Week, urging

citizens to display the ﬂag.

The iconic flag, with its thirteen red and white stripes representing the original colonies and fifty white stars on a blue field symbolizing the current states, is a potent emblem of American unity, freedom, and democracy.

The colors themselves, while not ofﬁcially designated by the Continental Congress, were later attributed meanings when

Local Manufacturing Veteran Launches Academy to Reinvigorate Curry County's Workforce

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

After a lifetime immersed in the global manufacturing industry, Gold Beach resident Jeff Lage is embarking on a new mission: to cultivate the next generation of skilled tradespeople in Curry County.

According to its Facebook page 4C, which stands for Curry County Coastal CNC Academy (or CNC), is driving workforce development, advanced manufacturing and rural innovation in Curry County. Building a skilled talent pipeline through CNC training, research and development and small business incubation.

What began as a vacation

epiphany has rapidly evolved into a concrete plan for a manufacturing academy, designed to bridge the growing gap between available jobs and a dwindling local workforce. Lage realized during a recent cruise that his semi-retirement in Gold Beach felt incomplete.

"While on vacation, on the cruise ship, I'd wake up at 4 a.m., read, reﬂect and listen to the news," Lage recounted. "Hearing about all the investment in U.S. manufacturing post-COVID and then seeing the struggles here in our community, young people looking for jobs, but not necessarily in trades like diesel mechanics or robotics, it just started coming together in my mind."

Lage, 65, a seasoned manu-

facturing expert with experience spanning from critical projects like the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Tail Rudder Enhancement Program for the Boeing 737, to Honda's ﬁrst foray into the Indianapolis 500.

"The original design (of the 737 aircraft) only had a single ball screw and when it failed, planes would literally fall out of the sky," Lage explained. “It was a privilege to be able to work on that program.”

The urgency of Lage's initiative is underscored by stark local demographics. He cited census statistics revealing a signiﬁcant decline in the under-eighteen population in Curry County.

Is Resolution on the Horizon? Illegal Fireworks Suspects back in Court

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc

Nearly one year has elapsed since the near tragic incident involving illegal ﬁreworks on South Beach, July 4, 2024.

The case has slowly meandered the circuitous legal road. Last week, Superior Court Judge Darren McElfresh allowed the legal separation of suspects Levi HowardWayne Mills, 34 and Megan Rae Warner, 33. Mills has entered GUILTY pleas on two counts:

• OSSESSION OF A DESTRUCTIVE

DEVICE IN A PUBLIC PLACE. SPECIAL ALLEGATION OF GREAT

BODILY HARM ON A CHILD UNDER AGE 5.

All the above charges are felonies. The child, Baby B (William Lupan) has made steady progress toward full recovery. Adult Rose Reppond was also injured during the incident, as stated in the Special Allegation. Reppond’s recovery and condition were not made public.

Mills will be sentenced Tuesday, July 29 at 9:00am in Dept.1, Del Norte County Superior Court, Judge McElfresh presiding.

Suspect Warner has entered Not Guilty pleas to:

• POSSESSION OF A DESTRUCTIVE

DEVICE IN A PUBLIC PLACE. • POSSESSION OF AN EXPLOSIVE

Libraries Level Up Summer Fun with Reading Programs

BY LINDA LEE Curry

Summer

Both

The Chetco Community Public Library recently saw a bevy of activity as it celebrated sign-ups for its Level Up at Your Library summer reading program.

The event was a vibrant affair, featuring energetic dancers, intricate balloon animals and the chance for kids to get up close with a ﬁre truck. Even Smokey the Bear made a special appearance, adding to the festive atmosphere.

"Play is one of the ways we learn to relate to others, to think in new ways, to appreciate the art of storytelling and to foster friendships, new and old," library ofﬁcials stated on their website.

This year's program emphasizes puzzles and games, reminding the community that libraries are not just centers of knowledge, but also spaces for fun.

The Level Up at Your Library program runs from June 21st to August 2nd with the ofﬁcial kickoff party set for Saturday, June 21st, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the Forest

Room. Participants can choose from two engaging challenges: Bookopoly or the Dragons & Friends reading tracker. Both are designed to gamify reading logs and earn participants prizes and badges throughout the summer. While all ages are welcome, Bookopoly is recommended for readers ages, ten and up due to its more complex structure.

Even if you missed the May 31st registration deadline for a t-shirt and welcome kit, you can still participate in the challenges and attend all special events from July 5th to August 2nd.

All events, challenges, prizes and shirts are completely free and participation is ﬂexible, allowing readers to enjoy the program at their own pace, even if they have busy summer plans.

Just down the road, the Curry Public Library in Gold Beach is ready to launch its own summer reading adventure, Spike’s Big Adventure! The program will run from Saturday, June 14th, through Saturday, August 2nd, culminating in a closing party.

The sign-up event for Spike’s Big Adventure is scheduled for Saturday, June 14th, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. All ages are invited to drop in, register and pick up their reading logs.

The kickoff promises a day of excitement with a bounce house, hot dogs, smoothies, tote bag decorating, lawn games and a preview of prizes.

The Summer Reading Program at Curry Public Library is one of its largest community-wide literacy initiatives. It aims to encourage reading across all age groups, from newborns and preschoolers to teens and older adults, bridging the learning gap during school breaks and strengthening community engagement with reading.

Library staff and volunteers have curated a diverse array of activities, including art, live music and performances, read-aloud events, movie nights and interest group meet-ups. Highlights include Dungeons & Dragons for teens and adults, Adventures in STEM, The Great Scavenger Hunt, Storytime and PJ Storytime, a Mini Boat Project, Pokémon Card Games and a Board Game Meetup. The library will also be present at Party in the Park.

In an exciting addition this year, the Curry Public Library will offer free lunches for kids ages 0 to 18, available from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the library lobby, beginning June 16th and continuing all summer. The summer will also feature an outdoor movie screening of "Out of My Mind" on Saturday, July 19th at 9:15 p.m. in the parking lot. Both libraries are poised to offer a summer full of literary exploration, engaging activities and community connection, proving that reading can truly be an adventure for everyone.

I’m Ready: Dustin Robbins is a natural as his dad, Brad (l), and firefighter Austin Clewell** admire his enthusiasm.

Dance Troupe: Brookings’ Oregon Coast Dance Troupe showed off their moves.

Smokey: Even Smokey the Bear made an appearance with firefighter Tom Kerr and Max Durand, who’s behind the wheel.

"In 2004, twenty percent of the people were under eighteen. In 2013, it was thirteen percent and today it's less than ten percent" Lage emphasized. "There are only one-hundred twenty people at Gold Beach High School in total.”

He envisions the academy as a vital pathway for young people, especially those displaced during the pandemic, to find stable, well-paying careers.

"Not everyone wants to go to college and there's been a real change in thinking that way," Lage observed, emphasizing the need for vocational training.

Lage's ambitious plan has garnered significant support from local officials, including county commissioners, the Port of Gold Beach, Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC), State Representative Court Boice and Senator Brock Smith as well as various other agencies. Senator Smith even assisted Lage's with his first grant application.

The primary hurdle now is securing a suitable property for the academy. Lage is actively working with Curry County and the City of Brookings to acquire

a piece of land within the Brookings airport's enterprise zone.

"In order to get the grants to work, you need to have some in-kind value," he explained, “so we’re hoping to have an answer on that soon.”

While some potential properties are five years away, Lage is pushing for a more immediate solution, stressing the critical need to address the workforce crisis now.

"It's hard to fill gaps like this because it takes a lot of time and effort, but it's a battle that I'm committed to," Lage affirmed. “It’s just who I am.”

With a lifetime of manufacturing expertise and a clear vision for the future, Jeff Lage is poised to bring to life CNC for the citizens of Curry County.

Southwestern hosts “Juneteenth: Americanism

Reclaimed,” a presentation by Taylor Stewart

In celebration of Juneteenth, Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) invites the public to a free presentation "Juneteenth: Americanism Reclaimed" by Taylor Stewart, founder of the Oregon Remembrance & Sunrise Projects.

Historically, these colors trace back to the British Union Jack. While popular folklore often credits Betsy Ross with designing and sewing the first American flag, concrete proof remains elusive. Historical records do indicate that Ross was involved in producing ensigns and pennants for the Philadelphia Navy during the war and her influence on the flag's design is ac-

What is known for certain is that the original 1777 ﬂag was designed to represent the thirteen colonies, featuring thirteen white stars in a circular arrangement on a blue ﬁeld, signifying the equality of the colonies and thirteen alternating red and white stripes. In 1818, after several design iterations, Congress decided to maintain the thirteen stripes and add a new star for each new state entering the Union.

Remarkably, the current 50-star American ﬂag was designed by then-high

Razor Clam Harvesting Opens on the Central Coast

Razor clam harvesting has opened from Cascade Head to Cape Blanco. Razor clam harvesting remains closed from Cape Blanco to the California border.

The Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) announced a new shellfish opening. Marine biotoxin levels of domoic acid have fallen below alert levels in razor clams on the central coast.

ODA is the shellfish control authority for the state of Oregon. The Shellfish Program is responsible for implementing nationally recognized standards for shellfish safety and sanitation in partnership with the US Food and Drug Administration.

One aspect of the program addresses hazards related to naturally occurring marine biotoxins caused by harmful algal blooms in the ocean. ODA receives funding from the ODFW to maintain a biotoxin monitoring program.

This is a surveillance program where shellfish samples are collected along the length of the Oregon coastline by ODA and ODFW staff twice a month and are analyzed at the ODA lab for marine toxins. The results of this monitoring program are used to protect consumers and the public alike by ensuring both commercial shellfish grown and harvested in Oregon are safe and that recreational shellfish harvesting is done safely.

Ultimately, this successful partnership between agencies allows fishermen and the seafood industry to have access to markets throughout the United States while protecting public health.

Harvesting of mussels is open along the entire Oregon Coast and harvesting of bay clams and crab is open along the entire Oregon coast.

Listed below are the open/closed sport harvest for the following: razor clams; mussels; bay clams; crab and scallops.

The sport harvest of razor clams is closed from Cape Blanco to the California border for high levels of the marine biotoxin domoic acid.

The sport harvest of razor clams is open from the Washington border to Cape Blanco. Re-opening beaches for sport harvest after a biotoxin closure requires two samples in a row with toxin results below the closure limit.

The sport harvest of mussels is open along the entire Oregon Coast from the Washington border to the California border.

The sport harvest of bay clams is open along the entire Oregon Coast from the Washington border to the California border.

Sport crab harvesting is open along the entire Oregon coast from the Washington border to the California border.

Always gut the crab and throw away the "butter" (guts) prior to cooking. When whole crab are cooked in liquid, domoic acid may seep into the

cooking liquid and then into the meat. Throw away the cooking liquid and do not use it in other dishes, such as sauces, broths, soups, stews, stocks, roux, dressings, etc. It is recommended you do not eat the 'butter' (guts) of the crab.

Scallops are not being sampled for biotoxins at this time. Do not eat whole scallops because they can contain biotoxins; however, the scallop adductor muscle does not build up biotoxins and may be safe to eat.

Oregon Department of Agriculture will continue to test for shellfish toxins weekly, as tides and weather permit. Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit. Contact ODFW for recreational license requirements, permits, rules and limits.

If you think you have become ill from eating shellfish see your doctor and contact your county health department to report your illness. Commercial

shellfish products remain safe for consumers.

ODA’s shellfish biotoxin hotline is toll free and is updated as soon as shellfish biotoxins reach the closure limit. The hotline is the best source for up-to-date clam, crab, and mussel biotoxin closure information. For information on sport licenses, seasons, rules and limits, please visit the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife webpage: https://www.dfw. state.or.us.

Always check the ODFW website for season opening and closing dates,

rules and licenses for sport harvest of crab.

The Oregon Health Authority has issued an advisory for softshell clams along the entire Oregon Coast because they may contain high levels of naturally occurring arsenic. For more information call ODA’s shellfish biotoxin safety hotline at (800) 448-2474, the Food Safety Shellfish Desk at (503) 986-4726, or visit the website: https://www. oregon.gov/oda/food-safety/shellfish/Pages/shellfish-closures.aspx.

SWOCC Launches Diesel Mechanic Program to fill Workforce Gap

Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) is rolling out a new Diesel Mechanic Technology Program this fall. The program will enroll fifteen students fall term, bringing high-skill, hands-on training to individuals ready to power up careers in one of the region’s highest-demand trades.

Coos Bay business owner Terry Cheyne created the program and brings more than thirty-five years of experience in diesel technology and shop management. A Marshfield High School graduate and Universal Technical Institute alum, Cheyne returned to Coos Bay in 2016 to

launch his successful mechanic business, Cheyne’s Truck & Marine. He’s now ready to turn his focus to teaching.

“I plan to structure this program like a job all the way through graduation. Students will learn all aspect of the business, not just turning wrenches,” Cheyne said.

The program combines lectures and hands-on lab training to prepare graduates for careers in trucking, maritime, forestry, fleet services, rail and agriculture. Each term will build on skilled learned, increasing in experience and complete truck maintenance and repair. Ultimately, students will earn an Associate of Applied

Science in Diesel Mechanic Technology. Initially housed in a repurposed ambulance bay in Umpqua Hall, the program is the first step in a larger vision. Over the next two years, the college will design and build a new four-bay diesel shop facility on the Coos Bay campus. SWOCC and the SWOCC Foundation are working together on grant funding and private donations to support this expansion, aiming for completion in 2026 or 2027.

The limited-entry, competitive program is open for applications through July 24. Interviews will be held in August and classes begin Sept. 15. A limited-entry

format means students must apply and interview to be considered for the program. Classes will run weekday afternoons and simulate a real job environment, complete with uniforms and professional expectations. More details are available at http:// www.socc.edu/dieselmechanic.

For more information about the program, contact Terry Cheyne at (541) 8887242 or terry.cheyne@socc.edu.

To learn how to support the diesel program, call the SWOCC Foundation at (541) 888-7211 or email foundation@ socc.edu.
