If You Want To Be A Target of Assault...

I've heard so much about Powers, most of it ungood, that makes it so I never want to step foot in that town again. Beyond the usual gossip you can hear in Myrtle Point, Coquille and Coos Bay about incest, sexual abuse, poverty and severe drug and alcohol addiction there is also a general mentality: if you're not a local expect to get hurt by the locals. There are many cases where people visited Powers to take in the sights, have fun at the townwide garage sale or White Cedar days or take part in the Tour de Fronds, and were attacked by the local men who "Don't like outsiders". Just last weekend a guy was visiting Powers for White Cedar Days and was confronted by some local jerk calling him horrible names and wanting to take him outside because "he's National Guard and not Army". So expect violence, expect to be treated with disrespect and expect confrontation because these people make it clear they don't like outsiders.
