Economic forecast for 2020 Jeremy C. Ruark Pilot Editor

bright economic forecast into 2020 for Curry and Coos counties is emerging from the Oregon Employment Department. The region’s seasonally adjusted jobless rate in October was 6.2%, continuing the historic low levels of the past several months. The employment department listed 8,536 employed Curry County workers in October and 411 unemployed. Department economist Sarah Cunningham said the jobless report is a key indicator of what’s ahead. The Pilot: Specifically, what are the “key indicators” the Oregon Employment Department uses to develop the Curry/Coos regional data about jobs and employment. Sarah Cunningham: We use the monthly Local Area Unemployment Statistics, which provide an estimate of the unemployment rate, and the Current Employment Statistics, which estimate how many jobs

Staff Report

Brookings man faces multiple criminal charges after a high-speed chase and crash in the Harbor area. According to the Curry County Sheriff’s Office, the chase began shortly after 11 a.m. last Saturday when a deputy observed a dark-colored Subaru traveling on U.S. Highway 101 near Museum Road south of Harbor. The vehicle was traveling over the speed limit and also had failed to dim its lights to oncoming traffic, said officials. The sheriff’s office said that as the deputy turned on his vehicle’s emergency lights and siren, the Subaru accelerated. The deputy gave chase and notified the dispatcher that the vehicle was traveling at more than 100 mph into Harbor when the deputy lost sight of it. Another sheriff’s deputy saw the Subaru speeding by as it passed him near Court Street in Harbor.

The sheriff’s office said the fleeing vehicle tried to turn right onto South Bank Chetco Road when the driver lost control, hit a curb and rolled the car. The Brookings Fire Department and Cal-Ore Life Flight responded. Two female passengers in the fleeing vehicle - Fallon Melsha, 21, and Jordan Alkrie, 20 - both of Brookings, were transported to Sutter Coast Hospital in Crescent City for injuries they received during the crash. The two were released from the hospital that evening, said officials. A male passenger, Christopher Phillips, 24, of Brookings, complained of pain but left the scene of the crash in a taxi. The driver of the vehicle - Jacob Hansen,30, of Brookings - was transported to Curry General Hospital. After receiving a medical clearance, deputies arrested Hansen and took him to the Curry County Jail. Hansen was held on charges of reckless driving, attempting to elude, reckless endangering, and driving under the influence of intoxicants. According to officials, Hansen admitted to the deputies that the reason he tried to get away from them was because he had been drinking and that his Oregon driver’s license was suspended. The Oregon State Police responded to assist in the investigation. All information about the incident has been sent to the Curry County District Attorney for prosecution.

housands of gray whales will be making their annual migration south along the Oregon and California coasts this month, promising to attract plenty of visitors. An estimated 25,000 gray whales are expected to swim past the shores over the next several weeks, part of their annual migration south to the warm calving lagoons near Baja, Mexico. The end of December is the peak time for their migration, with roughly 30 whales passing by per hour. The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department highlights the migration through its annual Winter Whale Watching Week, Dec. 27-31. A gray whale Trained volunteers from the Whale Watching Spoken Here program will be stationed from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. each day at more than 20 of the best whale-watching sites along the coast, ready to help visitors spot whales and to answer questions about the animals. (View the site map at currypilot.com.) Oregon Parks and Recreation Ranger Luke Parsons gives some insight into the whales’ migration: The Pilot: What is it about the whales that attracts people to the Oregon coast? Luke Parsons: Seeing a whale is usually a pretty unforgettable experience. Most people remember exactly

And once you start to learn about their behaviors and intelligence, you just really start to appreciate how amazing these animals really are. In other parts of the world, to go whale watching, many times you have to venture out in a boat for many miles. Here along the Oregon coast, you can go to almost any More Whale on Page A5

eats quickly filled to capacity when Curry County commissioners invited the public to an informational meeting about special tax districts, held at the Brookings Elks Lodge on Monday. Local officials said they’re frustrated by a scarcity of funds to run the county, and that special tax districts have felt “adversarial” scrutiny regarding the amount of property taxes that go everywhere except county government - but still run desired, even More Tax on Page A4

resources, and treasury departments currently cost taxpayers $437,833 annually. The county’s last five audits document a history of material insufficiencies, material weaknesses and a lack of internal controls. Current operational practices create heavy workloads at an above-average cost to taxpayers.” Harvey outlined the benefits of replacing the paper-based, manual system with technology that would decrease labor, provide department managers with up-to-date budget balances and expenditures, and provide instant transparency of county finances on any given day, instead of having to wait months. The software would cost approximately $50,000 a year after initial start-up costs. Harvey would seek grant funding to offset the initial fees and forego hiring a previously approved assistant for the finance office. The motion carried 2-1 to acquire the software, with Commissioner Sue Gold dissenting. In other action, the commissioners: • Appointed Christina Brose, Rob Carillo and Erin Johnson to fill vacancies on the Curry County Fair Board through a ballot process. • Approved change orders amounting to $9,340.72 for a Brookings Head Start remodeling project, which would be paid by Oregon Coast Community Action. • Commissioners Gold and Christopher Paasch approved a travel request of $709 for Commissioner Court Boice to travel to

The cost savings would be $145,000 to $155,000 per year, they said. Boice spoke against the proposal, saying, “It would be like going to having a county administrator run the county. If we don’t have working commissioners, then we don’t have a government.” The commissioners recommended having Julie Schmelzer, the county’s director of operations, look into the proposal’s ramifications prior to the next election cycle. The matter would need to be placed on the ballot for a vote if the board were to support the idea.

were removed from the commissioners’ meeting agenda when county counsel John Huttl raised a procedural objection to a multipart process to designate four county-owned parcels of land, acquired through the foreclosure of delinquent tax liens, as county park properties. The next step on the agenda would have been to approve the sale of those lands, with the funds to benefit county parks. Huttl recommended the county first publish public notices for two weeks, then hold public hearings about the transfers, to allow for residents’ comments. In other business, commissioners approved the purchase of equipment, at a cost of $237,421, for the county roads department to “be more efficient and effective to haul rock, asphalt, landslide and storm debris.” They also approved a proposal from finance director Sharlyn Harvey to purchase OpenGov software that would streamline the county’s financial procedures.

Curry County commissioners are looking to save the county nearly a half-million dollars by shifting certain costs for law enforcement and code violation services to absentee property owners, through an annual registration fee of $119 per parcel. “Vacant properties, or those where the owner is absent, tend to attract squatters, nuisance and crime,” according to recent commissioners’ business meeting materials. With 4,272 parcels in unincorporated areas of the county, the fees would amount to $508,368. The county estimates that law enforcement and code violation services, plus administrative and legal costs, incurred by property owners that do not live in the county cost taxpayers $498,916 annually. There was significant Initial public reaction to that proposed Absentee Property Registration Ordinance, prompting discussion to be moved to a workshop at a future date. The proposed ordinance originally was discussed during a Nov. 20 commissioners’ meeting. Another pair of items

Oregonians who do not get health insurance through their employers, and who do not qualify for the Oregon Health Plan, have until 11:59 p.m. Sunday to sign up for coverage and get help paying for it, according to the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services. “It’s a busy time of year, but don’t wait until the final hours,” said Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace adminiswork in the past month, he or she is counted as unemployed. The (current employment) data are derived from a monthly survey of businesses covered by unemployment insurance. The Pilot: Overall, what have been the economic strengths and the economic weaknesses of the Curry/ Coos economies to this point through 2019, and what has caused those strengths and weaknesses? Cunningham: Coos and Curry counties have both experienced modest job growth so far in 2019, which is concurrent with slowing job growth statewide. Both the south coast and the state as a whole have experienced slowdowns in job growth in

trator Chiqui Flowers. “There are many health plans to choose from and you’re going to want time to shop for the right one.” Flowers said the marketplace is part of state government and helps connect Oregonians to insurance coverage. It partners with HealthCare.gov, the website where people apply for federal subsidies. Flowers is urging those without insur-

the 10th year of the current economic expansion. The job market remains extremely tight, and many job openings in the south coast and the state as a whole go unfilled. Curry County has seen strong growth in its manufacturing sector, growing by 5.9% from October 2018 to October 2019. This compares with just 1.1% growth in manufacturing employment in the state as a whole. Coos County has seen strong growth in construction, leisure and hospitality, professional and business services, and retail trade, all adding jobs faster than the state from October 2018 to October 2019. Gains in leisure and hospitality, retail trade, and construction

Throughout Oregon, anywhere from seven to 41 plans are available, depending on the county of residence. People who qualify for subsidies can use that financial help on any plan.

are reflective of the strong economy as a whole. When people have more money in their pockets, they shop, go on vacation, or even renovate their homes. The Pilot: Heading into 2020, what is the Oregon Employment Department’s forecast for the Curry/Coos region? Cunningham: With unemployment rates still hovering near their historic lows in both Coos and Curry counties, and modest job growth in 2019, I predict the trend will continue into 2020. The Pilot: What economic “triggers” would you be watching that would help improve the local economies?

More Health on Page A5 Cunningham: I pay attention to the “Around the State” business news, which provides a snapshot of business openings, closures and expansions throughout Oregon. It’s one way I gauge economic activity that may show up in the data in months to come. For example, if a hospital in Curry County receives funding to expand its services, I would expect to see job increases in healthcare employment in the future. Overall, economic growth along the south coast has slowed down, but remains positive. The tight labor market poses a challenge for employers looking to hire, but provides opportunity to those looking for work.

SUPER CROSSWORD

Garfield® by Jim Davis

Marmaduke ® by Brad Anderson

DEAR ABBY Full-time trucker parks too long at son’s small apartment DEAR ABBY: My widowed mother-in-law, “Minnie,” works full time as a trucker, traveling around the U.S. She doesn’t have a home of her own since she lives on the road. My husband and I live in a small one-bedroom apartment. When she’s here for holidays or family functions, she always sleeps on our couch. At first I didn’t mind once or twice for holidays, but since my niece was born, Minnie wants to be home more to visit with her. My husband’s brother has a large home and plenty of space, but Minnie never stays there because she doesn’t like my sister-in-law. Minnie is also irresponsible about letting us know when she’s coming and how long she will be staying. One night can turn into a week. I have had many conversations and some blowout fights with my husband over this issue. He’s the older brother and feels guilty about asking her to stay at a hotel. My sister-in-law doesn’t help the situation. She sabotages

By Abigail Van Buren holidays and events to ensure Minnie won’t feel comfortable staying there. I don’t know how I will manage to get through the holidays this year. Help! -- DREADING IT IN THE EAST DEAR DREADING: Blowout fights with your husband are detrimental to your marriage. Because he appears to be unable to summon the backbone to have an honest conversation with his mother, I guess it’s up to you. Explain to Minnie that the current arrangement isn’t working. Tell her twice-ayear visits for holidays and family functions were manageable, but in the future, if she’s unwilling to stay in her younger son’s home, she should arrange to stay at a hotel or motel for those “extra” visits. DEAR ABBY: Some of my extended family members have become vegan. When they come to my home, I make sure to have appropriate food for them, in addition to nonvegan food for others. When I am invited to their homes for a celebration, they offer only vegan selections. No one is allowed

to bring nonvegan or meatbased dishes to their home. It has reached the point that I no longer want to go there when a meal is involved. I have tried talking to them about this, but their reply is, “No meat allowed in our home.” I now leave before mealtime because I don’t like a lot of their dishes. Is it common for vegans to prohibit guests from ever taking other food into their home? Thanks for any light you can shed on this. -MEAT LOVER IN HOUSTON DEAR MEAT LOVER: People become vegans for a variety of reasons. Some do because they feel it is unethical to kill animals for food. Others do it because they feel raising animals for slaughter is harmful to the planet. People also become vegans for health reasons. Individuals who adopt this way of life often feel as your relatives do, and that’s their privilege. If it impinges on your freedom or limits your enjoyment of these celebrations, forgo them and either participate in get-togethers that don’t include food or go to an accommodating restaurant.

Continued from Page A1 of our beautiful state parks, have a picnic with your family and look for whales at the same time, something that is pretty special. The Pilot: How is the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department using the annual migrations to help educate the public about the whales and the coastal environment? Parsons: We work with many of the state’s finest

researchers to train our volunteers about gray whales, and other Oregon coastal animals, each year. Our volunteers are some of the most passionate people I have ever met. They care deeply about whales, our coastline and how to protect them both. The other thing we stress, of course, is beach safety. Winter storms can produce hazardous conditions all along the shore. We make sure to pass along some good safety messages, because many folks who visit the ocean this time of year may not be from the area. The Pilot: Give us a sum-

mary of the most interesting and important facts about the gray whales’ winter migration. Parsons: The gray whales we see traveling south right now are swimming about 100 miles per day. They don’t stop to sleep at all for around 60 days during this part of the migration. Another fun fact is that these whales will not eat for several months now. They are all relying on the blubber, or fat, that they have accumulated during the summer feeding season. Sometimes, a gray whale may go four to five months or more without eating.

The Pilot: Where are the migration spots along the southern Oregon coast, and what areas would be the best and safest vantage points to see the whales? Parsons: The winter whale watch is all about finding a site with good elevation. Sites like the one at Harris Beach State Park and Cape Ferrelo were specifically chosen some years ago because of their excellent views.

Richard Dale Wood, 93, went home to be with The Lord, and his loving wife Vivian, on November 27th, 2019. He passed away peacefully at his home in Gold Beach, Oregon. Richard Dale, known lovingly as “Dale” or “Woody”, was born December 2, 1925, at his home in Chehalis, Washington. He grew up in Onalaska, Washington, where he met his high school sweetheart, Vivian. Woody was a high school basketball star. Following high school, Woody joined the Navy and was a gunner on a bomber. Dale and Vivian were married on October 12th, 1945, and he was discharged from the navy in 1946. They moved to Gold Beach in April of 1950, and opened their business Gold Beach Sand & Gravel. In 1966 they moved to Alaska where they worked together on the Alaska Pipeline. After retiring, they spend their time between their home in Gold Beach, Oregon, and their home in Ninilchik, Alaska.

The visit included workshops for the adults on women leaders in business, healthcare and government, while the Japanese students were welcomed at Del Norte High School. The delegation’s school principals and teachers from Rikuzentakata and nearby Ichinoseki explored teaching models used by Del Norte County that focus on inclusion and students who have experienced trauma, according to the school district.

While the world watches the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, millions of eyes will be on a media feature package about Crescent City and its sister city, Rikuzentakata, Japan. NBC Sports was in Crescent City last week to film the latest interaction among local educators and a delegation of teachers and students from Rikuzentakata. At the same time, efforts are building locally to capitalize on that international story during the upcoming Olympics’ TV coverage. Cindy Vosburg, executive director of the Crescent City-Del Norte Chamber of Commerce, is spearheading a drive to raise $59,000 to spend on publicizing Del Norte County during the 2020 Olympics. She’s being

helped by Rob Holmlund of Eureka-based Malex Consulting. Their latest success is a $10,000 pledge from the Yurok Economic Development Corp. Vosburg was making similar presentations last week to the Elk Valley Rancheria Tribal Council and the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and Resighini Rancheria. She said she’s nearing her goal, having already secured several pledges — $15,000 from the Crescent City Council, $10,000 from the Del Norte County Board of Supervisors, $7,500 from the Crescent City Harbor District and $2,500 from the Crescent City Fisherman’s Marketing Association.

n Tax Continued from Page A1 essential services. More than 120 people gathered to learn where their tax dollars go, to get information on special taxing districts, how those districts are formed and their financial responsibilities, and what other factors affect local property tax rates. Representatives from nearly every special tax district in the county came, as well as the general public. A number of library supporters were present, carrying green signs identifying their primary concern. Commissioner Christopher Paasch briefly addressed the group: “There’s been a lot of rumors that I am here to dissolve or get rid of special districts,” said Paasch, “and that is absolutely not true. What I’m interested in doing is looking at each special district and making sure that they are running efficiently and legally.” What’s the problem? Paasch had come under fire when he wrote a guest opinion published by The Curry Coastal Pilot on Sept. 25 that said, in part, “The SWOCC campus gets $2.1 million, the Chetco Library gets almost $800,000, and the entire county gets only $1.8 million to run all of its services. Clearly, the tax distribution is unbalanced.” “This county needs to know the actual, current state of its tax dollars and how they are spent,” Paasch said in an interview, making it clear he was speaking as an individual

commissioner, rather than representing the entire board. “We no longer have the timber revenues that for decades funded this county. Federal Payments in Lieu of Taxes and Secure Rural Schools money that was promised to continue by our voices in Washington have stalled and may never return. “Our state roads are in disrepair, fires have burnt much of the county and that damage - along with the lack of care and concern for our rivers, their hatcheries and fish that fuel the only thing left as a current resource for ‘tourism’ and fishing - leave us in an almost impossible position. “So why is this so important?” asked Paasch. “First on my agenda as an elected official is the safety and security of the public. That includes the funding of all departments. So, I feel part of my job includes making sure tax dollars are well spent. “We have the job of accountability to the citizens of the county. Our special districts should also want to be accountable and have to show their continued need for resources. “The taxpayers of the county voted these districts in decades ago. Don’t you think it is time we look at them to make sure they are still what we want and they’re doing as they were intended?” “When someone is asked to pay more for county services, the common answer is, ‘We pay enough to the county,’” said Julie Schmelzer, Curry County’s director of operations, in an interview. “People don’t understand that only 6% of what they pay in taxes is actually ‘going to the county.’ Many don’t understand where their money

memory from coming to such an event, and the everlasting memory of a fun and good time that promotes good sportsmanship.” Phillips estimated the girls’ tournament would cost about $20,000 to put on, which includes the cost of using the facilities, for referees and related expenses. The sale of sweatshirts and t-shirts at the games helps defray the expenses and also supports scholarships provided by the Jaycees, he said. The Crescent City Jaycees also hold a middle school boys’ basketball tournament in the spring.

is going and what it is funding. “We hear a lot of complaints about services - some probably justified, many not. If we want to clean up the mess in our county, people need to understand what the mess is.” Why so many districts? At Monday’s meeting, Frank Stratton, executive director of the Special Districts Association of Oregon, provided information about how special districts are formed, for what purposes, and the rules under which they operate. When county and city governments can’t provide specialized needs, one way to tackle the problem is to create a special district. In Curry County, there are 43 special districts, including fire, cemetery, library, sanitary and port districts. Josephine County has just 17, with a population four times as large as Curry County, said Paasch. “I look to find a reason to have so many in Curry County, and could we consolidate?” Paasch said. “Why do we need five library districts? Could we have one school superintendent to run all the schools? [Ed. note: School districts are not considered under law to be special tax districts.] Could the cemetery districts be better served by our parks department? “These are the kinds of questions I was proposing.” In Oregon, more than 1,000 special districts have been created that currently offer 34 different types of services. Some special districts, such as the Agness-Illahe Volunteer Fire Department, cover their operating expenses through fundraising. Others cover services by charging fees, such as certain water districts Proudly Serving Local Food & Beer LIVE MUSIC

The special districts that have drawn the Paasch’s attention are those that receive a portion of the $27 million in property tax revenues collected by Curry County. Special districts can be formed through an initiative petition to the county, or by the county commissioners. If the special district is to be funded by the property tax base, it must be placed on a ballot and approved. Special districts must have a board of directors and follow public-meeting laws. Danette Benjamin of the Oregon Department of Revenue Property Tax Division explained the budget processes required by Oregon statute for special tax districts, as well as the types of changes that can be made to special tax districts. Mergers and consolidations are the most frequent types of changes, said Benjamin. Oregon statutes outline strict budget procedures that encourage citizen participation and control expenditures of public funds, she said. The budget proposal, approval and adoption processes require public media notices, hearings and citizen participation on the budget committee. Benjamin told the group the county would have the authority to dissolve a special district if the secretary of state or the Oregon Department of Revenue found they were out of compliance with regulatory filings. What’s the county’s role? Several questions came from the crowd about the county’s role and responsibility regarding special districts.

“What role, if any, do county commissioners have in determining policy for special districts, including the determination of how their tax dollars are spent?” asked Curry County Commissioner Sue Gold. “None,” Stratton answered. “Special districts are self-governing entities. “The power of the county is to help them if they are having trouble filling boards. If no electors are in the district, the county can look to dissolve a special district, and then it has to be in the best interest of the special district.” Stratton said that in his 26 years, he doesn’t recall any district being dissolved. Asked how federal or state grants affect special districts, Stratton said the federal government doesn’t give funds to special districts except for fire districts, through money available from Homeland Security. Grants are usually applied for by city and county governments on behalf of special districts. Another audience member asked, “I gather the county can’t come and tap the funds of a special district?” “The answer is no, (they can’t),” Stratton said. Up next After the county meeting, another forum was held at Chetco Community Library, where citizens and special tax district representatives gave their reactions to what they had learned. In an upcoming issue of The Pilot and online at currypilot.com, learn what people said at the “meeting after the meeting,” and what the next steps are for local voters and the county.

Middle school girls’ basketball teams are expected to fill regional school and church gyms Friday and Saturday in Smith River and Crescent City.
