Scholarship Name Change
Apply here payday loans 100% secure
  At our annual meeting October 9, 2012, the advisory panel approved a request to change the name of our scholarship from Bandon Submarine Cable Council Scholarship to Bandon Submarine Cable Council’s Lenny Montalbano Memorial Scholarship. The Board then approved the name change on October 19. The name change has occurred on all Oregon Student Assistance Commission materials for this year. OSAC also requested a picture and caption to place on their web site. Lenny’s widow provided the picture and the caption follows: He is pictured standing on the back deck of his trawl boat, the Chellissa. Lenny persistence on protecting the ocean and fishermen’s right to fish was a key factor in forming Bandon Submarine Cable Council and our partnership with AT&T. Lenny sold his trawl vessel before the official start of BSCC and therefore did not meet the first requirement essential to be a Bandon Cable member; you have to be a trawl fisherman. It is because of his selflessness and many more honorable traits that we honor Lenny Montalbano by naming our scholarship in his memory.

ThankYou SOORC and FISHCRED
Apply here payday loans 100% secure
  Bandon Submarine Cable Council created partnerships with two organizations formed to help protect our fishing grounds and we would like to thank SOORC and FISHCRED and all of the folks in FINE and NSAT for their hard work and gallant efforts. And of course our special thanks to Nick Furman, Dungeness Crab Commission and Laura Anderson, FISHCRED. Since 2011, BSCC has provided funds to the Southern Oregon Ocean Resource Coalition (SOORC) to support their work on marine reserves and wave energy development. SOORC is a community based organization that brings all ocean users and stakeholders together to discuss ocean uses, direct and control efforts to minimize affects on fishing grounds and coastal habitat. SOORC is a proactive group, the first to come forward in Oregon to map the use and value of the crab grounds in an effort to direct placement of wave energy devises on the south coast. In 2012, BSCC provided funds to Fishermen’s Information Service for Housing Confidential Release and Essential Distribution (FISHCRED). FISHCRED is a statewide commercial fishing nonprofit organization focused on data management and support of marine spatial planning. FISHCRED has representation from SOORC, NSAT, POORT and FINE fishermen’s organizations that developed local ocean maps of their fishing grounds. All of the maps were combined into a single aggregated map for each port area. These maps show where the most socially important fishing areas are off the Oregon coast. The aggregated maps were used in the revision of the Territorial Sea Plan.

We would like to give a special thank you to Patricia Bodnar, Suz Kling and Sharon Martin for their service as readers since the very first year of our scholarship committee. We would also like to thank Tom Mitchell who has served for more than two years and we would like to thank Jamie Doyle who experienced her first year on the team.

AT&T to Inspect Cables
Apply here payday loans 100% secure
  AT&T announced it will inspect the cables this summer but they have not confirmed a date for this activity. The cables have been repaired a couple of times close to landfall but inspection out to 700 fathoms, usually a routine activity, has not been done for many years. The cable are supposed to be inspected at least every five years but often are put off because of the availability of the ships can can perform this activity.
