Rail line
After several attempts at obtaining public money to pay for the necessary improvements to a rail line between Coquille and Vaughn failed, Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad officials now say they will abandon the line embargoed since last September over safety concerns. The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay is reportedly interested in obtaining ownership of the 120-mile long line and then lease it out to a carrier. The rail line has allegedly not been maintained and will reportedly cost millions of dollars to repair and bring it up to safe standards.
Oregon Dunes
The Coos County Sheriff’s Office will receive a grant of $179,000 to help patrol the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area north of North Bend from the state All-Terrain Vehicle program. Eleven Oregon counties will actually benefit from $1.3 million in grants awarded by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission. Three-quarters of the funds will be used to help pay sheriff’s patrols and other enforcement costs. Along with Coos County, other coastal counties benefiting include Tillamook, Douglas and Lane. Another $250,224 will reportedly support law enforcement activities by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service. OPRD permit sales and a percentage of state gas tax revenue fund the ATV grants.
Sea Lions
At first they thought someone killed them with a high-powered rifle. Now wildlife officials in Oregon and Washington say six sea lions found dead in traps on the Columbia River earlier this month died from heat. Water and air temperatures at the Bonneville Dam are much warmer than the salt-water Pacific Ocean. However, officials are not sure why the traps were sprung that kept the sea lions confined.
Robbery
Automotive Paint Specialties at 1845 Sherman Ave. (Hwy. 101) in North Bend was reportedly robbed on Tuesday morning by three male suspects. According to an entry at 9:33 a.m. on the police log, “reports her store was just robbed. Employee locked herself in building.” Police dog “Bruno” was brought to the location to attempt to track the suspect, and an alert was sent countywide.
Port
Bob Braddock, the project manager for the Jordan Cove Energy Project, is expected to give an update on the proposed liquefied natural gas terminal project for the North Spit of Coos Bay when the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay Commission meets tonight, 7 p.m., in the Port Commission Chambers at 125 Central Ave. in Coos Bay. The Charleston Marina master plan will also be discussed.
New Carissa
The dismantling of the shipwreck New Carissa on Coos Bay’s North Spit was explained to the media Wednesday in North Bend during a special meeting called by the Oregon Department of State Lands and Titan Salvage of Florida. The state won a $25 million lawsuit against the owners of the New Carissa to have it removed from the beach after it ran aground in February of 1999. Titan Salvage, of Florida, is preparing to move its dismantling barges out of Coos Bay to the site the first two weeks of June. Project manager Phil Reed says they expect to have the salvage operation completed by the end of August. Two crews will work 12-hour shifts around the clock to remove the steel stern section. Titan Salvage plans to also recover the ship’s prop and give it to the Coos Historical and Maritime Museum.
Rogue River
It may be getting warmer at sea level, but a little higher in the Oregon Coast Range the temperature can still make one chill. Bear Camp Road is a good example in Southwest Oregon. A spokesperson for the Oregon Department of Transportation says the rural route has snowdrifts at 10 to 15-feet deep. On a normal year, a few feet of snow may cover three or four miles of the road to the lower Rogue River, and be gone by early May. Not this year. ODOT estimates it will take at least ten-days to plow the buried 12-an-a-half-miles.
Briggs
Corrections officials at the Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario are called the death of a 61-year old male from Coos County this week as “suspicious.” James Ivan Briggs was sentenced in 2003 of sodomy and sex abuse charges. He wasn’t scheduled for release until the year 2026.

Risk of Autism, Resveratrol, Chelation, and CoQ10
By Walt "dr health" Edwards
Autism... The Mitochondria is the powerhouse that fuel your body's cells. It has been implicated in at least one case of regressive autism. Some researchers estimate that the number of people suffering from the mitochondrial dysfunction, which may lead to autism, is much more common than the current estimate of 1 in 4,000 people. In fact, it could be as low as 1 in 50, which would be staggering.
In the recent landmark Hannah Poling case, federal officials conceded that Hannah's autism was caused by an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction that was aggravated by vaccine injections. At the time, CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding claimed that Hannah's case was a rare incident with little relevance to the other autism cases pending in the federal "vaccine court."
Since then, however, Dr. Gerberding and other CDC officials were made aware of a Portuguese study reporting that 7.2 percent of children with autism had confirmed mitochondrial disorders. Some now estimate the rate of mitochondrial dysfunction in autism to be 20 percent or more, and the rate among children with the regressive sub-type of autism is likely even higher.
If mitochondrial dysfunction can convert into autism in large numbers, then the connection between vaccines and autism could be quite strong. Some experts believe a trigger, such as vaccines, a viral illness or even inflammatory corn oil and corn syrup in the American diet, is triggering underlying mitochondrial dysfunctions into autism.
The CDC is reportedly looking into making changes in the vaccine schedule to address this newfound connection. The most difficult decision is how and when to vaccinate children with proven mitochondrial dysfunction.
What About Resveratrol?
Scientists found evidence of this "longevity gene" about 20 years ago. Turns out that if you starve mice, giving them a diet with one-third fewer calories than they would like to eat, their lifespan increases by about 30 percent. Later studies revealed that this effect wasn't limited to mice: Calorie-restricted diets produced similar results in many life forms, from single-celled organisms to plants and mammals.
Very recently, scientists found an explanation for this mysterious phenomenon: a family of genes called sirtuins ("silent information regulator proteins"). Sirtuins kick in under conditions of severe stress, bringing about an evolutionarily advantageous transformation. They transmit signals to every cell in your body, and the processes that lead to cell death slow to a crawl, buying your body more time to wait out the famine until things improve.
The discovery of sirtuins pointed to another amazing fact: Certain genes can be awakened and
called upon to change your body in the course of your lifetime. The problem of how
to "wake up" sleeping sirtuin genes had scientists stumped for years. They had to find some
other way to flip the aging "off switch."
That's where certain foods come in… because the natural compound resveratrol has been found to unleash the anti-aging power of sirtuins. Grapes, plums, blueberries, and cranberries contain resveratrol in the highest concentrations. Many other plants produce smaller amounts.
Resveratrol's power to enhance your life goes beyond anti-aging. Years of research have shown that it combats cancer, ramps up energy levels, limits the inflammation that causes arthritis, and benefits a number of major organs, including the heart, liver, and pancreas. It also has the remarkable capacity to halt cell "malfunctions" that can be lethal, like tumor generation.
Concerned About The Use of NSAIDS!
Consider taking Omega 3 fish oil. One source is cod liver oil once or twice a day. According to Dundee University researchers, Omega 3 and/or cod liver oil are known to reduce the need for painkillers in people with rheumatoid arthritis,. A 10g daily dose of cod liver oil reduced the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by 30 percent.
Patients in the study were given either cod liver oil or a placebo. After 12 weeks, they were asked to gradually reduce their use of NSAIDs. Among those taking cod liver oil, 39 percent reduced their daily dose of NSAIDs, compared with 10 percent taking a placebo. The reduction in drug use was not associated with any worsening of pain or of the disease.
It is thought that the fatty acids in the fish oil have anti-inflammatory properties that are responsible for the beneficial effect. NSAIDs are associated with many side effects, including stomach bleeding, heart attacks and strokes. The researchers believe the study offers hope for many rheumatoid arthritis patients who would like to reduce their NSAID use.
What About Chelation?
An Alternative To Bypass Surgery! Initially, physicians believed that the primary benefit of chelation therapy with EDTA was to remove lead from the body. They discovered that it lowers blood calcium, which contributes to plaque build-up in our arteries. According to Dr. Garry Gordon, M.D.,D.O., a pioneer in Oral Chelation, EDTA doesn't just float through the blood stream but works its way through the tissues, the capillary bed and through the tissue fluids, extracting toxic metals from the body's 60 trillion cells. As calcium is pulled from the plaque, its 'cementing' action is lost and the cholesterol and other substances are free to again join the blood stream to be eliminated later from the body.
What Are The Differences Of Ubiquinone And Ubiquinol (CoQ10).
Ubiquinone is the fully oxidized form – the form generally sold commercially. Once ingested and absorbed in the body – more than 90% of the ingested Ubiquinone is converted into its "active" antioxidant form called Ubiquinol.
More than 90% of the circulating CoQ10 in our body is present as Ubiquinol. The body has reductase enzymes which take the ingested CoQ10 in food and supplements and convert most of it into Ubiquinol. This process is reduced as you age and that is one reason for the added supplementation.
Research, (in animals and humans), has shown Ubiquinol to be absorbed better than Ubiquinone. Therefore, Ubiquinol might afford an advantage over ubiquinone in individuals who do not absorb regular CoQ10 from supplements too well. However, there are no studies to show the superiority of unsolubilized ubiquinol over Q-Gel® CoQ10, HydroQSorb® CoQ10, (as ChewQ® or H2Q CoQ10) or Liquid Q®..
More About CoQ10... It is required to convert fats and sugars into cellular energy, yet the natural production of CoQ10 declines with advancing age. When the body has an ample amount of CoQ10 the mitochondria can work most efficiently throughout the entire body, in cells everywhere, including the most densely populated area, the heart. Coenzyme Q10 is incorporated into the mitochondria of cells throughout the body where it facilitates and regulates the transformation of fats and sugars into energy. A large body of scientific evidence shows that CoQ10's ability to restore mitochondrial function has a profound effect on one's overall health and reducing the aging process.
Thought For The Day: All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident!
Have a great day!
