    Invasive Fish Being Landed By The Thousands In Derby

    09/21/2023

    Read More
    Contributed By: Coquille Indian Tribe
    (North Bend, OR) – With thousands of the invasive species being landed, about 2,000 by one fisherman alone, the 2nd Annual Small Mouth Bass Derby has now been extended through October 1, 2023!
    The event hosted by the Port of Coquille River in order to help the salmon and other species thrive is proving to be quite a success in just year number two.
    Starting on June 3, 2023, the Derby - sponsored by the Coquille Indian Tribe, ODFW and 3J Ranches - gave fishermen a chance to catch one of 80 tagged fish worth cash prizes ranging from $50 to $10,000.
    Last year, about 3,000 bass were caught. So far, this year, Port of Coquille River Commissioner Fred Fry says over 8,600 small mouth bass have been taken from the river. Prize fish are still out there, including the big dollar bass. So, it could definitely pay to keep fishing.
    Coquille Indian Tribe Chair Brenda Meade says the derby results have been nothing short of spectacular. "These bass are invasive species, and they prey on the salmon smolts, and that is doing incredible damage to the salmon runs," Meade said. "It is so important to continue to help salmon recovery in any way we can. It is important culturally, ecologically, economically, and this kind of event is producing amazing results in just its second year."
    Contestants will have to pay a $20 entry fee and sign up before fishing. Volunteers will be at Sturdivant Park in Coquille on Saturdays between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., and at the Myrtle Point boat ramp on Sundays at the same time to scan catches for microchips identifying them as cash-winning fish. The event has now been extended until Oct. 1. Go to thepocrd.com for more information.

    Seeking Child Advocates!

    09/21/2023

    Read More
    Do you have 5-10 hours a month to make a positive difference in the life of a child in foster care?
    Did you know there are currently 130 children in foster care in Coos and Curry Counties?
    Each of those children deserve to have an advocate making sure their voice is heard and decisions being made about them are in their best interest. This is where CASA comes in. We give you all the training you need and provide a staff supervisor to help you effectively advocate for children in foster care.
    The difference we make is huge!
    From one of our local foster parents, "Our CASA worker has been a valuable resource for our foster child. I have always been thankful when the child placed in our home has a CASA. Everything goes smoother with a CASA. In this instance, our foster child was a baby. I felt like the CASA watched over him, so he did not get lost in the fray and that she was his voice. She watched over the process from his point of view and truly was HIS advocate. It is a beautiful thing when a child in "the system" has an advocate who truly cares for his best interest. We have been foster parents for 13 years and have ONLY had good experiences with CASA. What a great program, full of caring, wonderful people. Thank you for blessing the lives of so many children in Coos and Curry County."
    Our next training classes start October 12th. Classes are once per week for 6 weeks. They are 3 hours in the evening, over Zoom.
    What you need: a passion to make a difference for abused and neglected children, finish our National CASA pre-service training, 5-10 hours a month (much of this time is flexible), pass a background check.
    For more information you can email us at casa@orcca.us or give us a call at 541-435-7103

    Last year, nearly 400 children spent time in foster care in Coos County. 66% spent time in more than one foster home. Many were split from their siblings.
    If a natural disaster hit our state and children were wandering the street without someone to care for them, each of us would open our homes to help in the crisis. With more than 350 children currently in foster care and more entering the system every day, we're in the midst of a disaster in our county.
    Oregon's Department of Human Services (DHS) works hard to care for children and families in crisis, but is often left with few resources for volunteer and foster parent recruitment efforts.
    If we don't step in, many children will be left without the care, comfort, and safety of a loving home during times of trauma, transition, and uncertainty. We can do better for Coos County's children. We know that our community want to take action, but they just don't know where to begin. Many of us feel helpless, doing nothing or never considering foster parenting.
    Every Child gathers community members in partnership with Oregon's Department of Human Services (DHS) to aide vulnerable children and families. And by doing so, we're able to bring love, care, and support to vulnerable children and families who previously had nowhere to turn.
    Everyone has something to bring to foster care — be it donating, volunteering or fostering. Go to Everychildcoos.org to learn more

    CASA Invites You To Be A Volunteer For A Child!

    12/29/2022

    Read More
    CASA of Coos and Curry Counties is looking for volunteers who want to help make a difference in children's lives. We train and support volunteers to advocate for children in foster care. We provide all the training and support needed.
    How CASA Works: When a child comes into foster care a judge will ask for a CASA. Our program finds a volunteer who is ready to serve a child and we have them appointed. The CASA will go visit the child in their resource (foster) home to make sure their needs are being met and hear from the child's resource parents. The CASA needs to visit the child at least once per month. CASAs can go and speak with anyone involved with the child. This includes teachers, counselors, doctors, family, etc. With help from their CASA staff supervisor, the CASA will prepare a report for the court, that gives the judge more information for making decisions for the child. CASAs preferably serve one child at a time. Out of the home volunteer time (visiting child, attending meetings) is about 5 hours a month, in-home time (reading documents and emails) is about 5 hours a month.
    Every child deserves to have a voice and an adult, just like you, making sure that voice is heard! We offer new CASA training at least 3 times per year. Contact our CASA office for more information. casacooscurry@orcca.us, 541-435-7103.

    Double Up Food Bucks at Coos Head Food Co-Op

    Contributed By: Coos Head Food Co-Op
    Coos Head Food Co-Op, located at 353 S. 2nd St., in Coos Bay, OR, is excited to announce that Double Up Food Bucks are now officially accepted in our store. When customers use their EBT cards to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, they will automatically receive a voucher printed on their receipt worth up to $20 towards free fresh fruits and vegetables at their next visit.
    Double Up Food Bucks are a national nonprofit organization dedicated to growing the health and wealth of communities through food. Double Up Food Bucks matches SNAP benefits (formerly known as food stamps) spent on fruits and vegetables. The program began in Michigan in 2009 and has since become a model for similar statewide programs, helping people across the country put nutritious food on the table by expanding access to healthy food and sparking economic opportunity.
    Coos Head Food Co-Op is excited to join the effort to make fresh fruits and vegetables more accessible and cost-effective. Not only does this program support shoppers by reducing economic barriers, it also supports our local farmers who provide much of the produce we sell in our store.
    Items eligible for Double Up Food Bucks are fresh fruits and vegetables only (nothing canned or pre-packaged, no added salt, sugar, preservatives). When customers purchase eligible items using their SNAP benefits, they will automatically receive a receipt with their matched Double Up Food Bucks dollar amount up to $20 printed at the bottom. Customers need to save these receipts in order to use them during future transactions.
    We would like to thank Double Up Food Bucks and The Oregon Food Bank as well as Jamar Ruff and The BEET Food System Consortium for all of their help and support throughout this process.
    Coos Head Food Co-Op is a community-owned grocery store that has been in operation since 1971. As the oldest operating natural food store on the Southern Oregon Coast, Coos Head Food Co-Op is committed to actively contributing to the health and well being of our community by serving as a source for wholesome, natural, and organic foods. Membership has never been a requirement to shop here. Everyone is welcome!

Abbreviations

Accepted Shopper Abbreviations  For consistency & clarity in the South Coast Shopper we use a set of standard classified ad abbreviations. They are listed here to help advertisers in writing their ads and readers in understanding the ads. (There is a fee for NOT abbreviating classified ads because our rates are based on these abbreviations)  UPDATE! We use abbreviations to save space in the paper, saving cost, that we pass on to our advertisers with lower classified rates than comparable papers across the Nation. A new way of naming products has developed that make product names unnecessarily longer. We will list these names in the traditional way to continue to save space in the paper, saving cost that we can continue to pass on to our advertisers.
