SERVING CURRY COUNTY SINCE 1946

Brookings, Oregon

Fair board deals with staff resignations C

Linda Pinkham Staff Writer

urry County Fair Board members are scrambling to ensure the fair will go on after the resignation of Event Center on the Beach manager Nikki Sparks.

Sparks had filed a grievance with the county’s human resources staff before resigning for “personal reasons,” according to Commissioner Christopher Paasch. He is the fair board liaison for the three county commissioners. The board held an

emergency meeting Dec. 20 to approve posting a job description for both the event center manager - and the office assistant position currently held by Linda Ash, who plans to leave at the end of January. Former county commissioner and former fair board

member Lucie Labonté brought up her concerns regarding the fair manager’s resignation, including questions about the grievance procedure. Fair board member Tim Scullin said “none of us knew about the grievance letter.” Paasch said he also

was unaware of the grievance. The urgent need to fill the vacant positions is prompted by the fair’s entertainment bookings and contracts, which need to be executed during the month of January. Entertainers create their annual schedules early in

the year, and the best acts in particular fill their schedules early. During the emergency fair board meeting, it was determined that an interim administrative committee would be appointed to work More Staff on Page A2

Happy holidays

Nature’s Coastal Holiday creates Curry scholarships

ature’s Coastal Holiday, a nonprofit organization responsible for the Festival of Lights holiday display in Azalea Park, is partnering with the Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) Foundation to offer three scholarships for students attending the school’s campus in Brookings. “Many people don’t realize this is a completely volunteer-coordinated and staffed holiday lights event...,” said Klaus Gielish, board president of Nature’s Coastal Holiday. “The goal

with this ambassador scholarship is to encourage that same ripple effect of volunteering.” Students can apply for the Nature’s Coastal Holiday Ambassador Scholarship starting Jan. 1 by completing an application online at www.socc.edu/ scholarships. Applications are due by March 1. Recipients must attend Southwestern’s Curry campus in the upcoming 2020-21 academic year and plan to take at least six credits. In the spirit of Nature’s Coastal

Holiday’s mission, recipients also must demonstrate community involvement and leadership, and be willing to volunteer at least 10 hours with the organization. The annual event began with 22,000 lights in 1997 and has grown to more than 2 million lights, bringing more than 20,000 visitors to the Brookings-Harbor community each year. Southwestern’s Curry campus is at 96082 Lone Ranch Parkway in Brookings.

few weeks ago, our entire team at The Pilot had the opportunity to volunteer one evening at the annual Festival of Lights event. This was my first experience with this dazzling event - and I was in for a huge treat. Steve and I were assigned to ticket sales at one of the Azalea Park garden entrances. Having been through the azalea gardens this summer, we knew where we were going, but still arrived early to ensure we had time to walk through the display of lights before starting our shift. From the Festival of Lights committee members, there had been much buzz about the increased number of lights this year. Oh. My. Goodness. Two million lights. You read that correctly. The volunteers had crafted 2 million lights into a remarkable, festive,

thoughtful, musical, joyous display. To put this into perspective, the town of Leavenworth, Washington prides itself on being a year-round Christmas village. It’s a town nationally promoted as a tourist destination for its Christmas “feel.” A highly regarded national news publication recently touted Leavenworth as being a “Hallmark Christmas movie” sort of place. Leavenworth boasts half a million lights across town … one-quarter of the lights Brookings has on display in Azalea Park alone. Volunteering was the perfect way to begin our holiday season. Without fail, visitors to the gardens were happy to be there. Steve and I were consistently greeted by a wide variety of, “Happy Holidays!” The mood was festive and heartwarming. Young people were hanging out together in the park, families were sharing a special time, and it appeared there were a fair number of couples having a “date night.” So, a giant thank you to the Festival of Lights committee that makes this happen each year. Thank you to the sponsors who help finance it. Thank you to the volunteers for the remarkable number More Carol on Page A5

Humane trip

Brookings Head Start seeks playground for new facility Jeremy C. Ruark Pilot Editor

Phyllis Plutansu waits in the South Coast Humane Society’s lobby in Brookings to see the veterinarian with her dog, Roxy. Despite a heavy rain, the South Coast Humane Society still had a decent turnout Saturday for its monthly lowcost wellness clinic. Every third Saturday of the month, the humane society reduces the costs of pet physicals and vaccinations so residents in both Brookings and Crescent City can ensure their pets are healthy. Photo by Jessica Goddard.

The newly renovated South Coast Head Start building in Brookings is set to open in early January following a $1.6 renovation. Head Start administrators and employees are scheduled to be moving from a temporary facility on 5th Street to the new building at 420 Redwood Spur during the school’s holiday break. But while officials said the renovation is a positive step, the next challenge will be creating an outside playground for the students. The following is a conversation with Dar Smith, South Curry-area manager for

Oregon Coast Community Action, which operates the Head Start facility: The Pilot: Is the move to the new facility still on schedule for winter break, and would that mean between Christmas and New Year’s Day? Dar Smith: We started the first stage of the move on Friday, the 13 this month. Staff utilized the following Wednesday and Thursday to set up the classroom, kitchen and office in anticipation of our fire, sanitation and licensing inspections taking place on Friday, Dec. 20. We rented a U-Haul and the staff took two loads of classroom and office materials, and some smaller

furniture. We used personal vehicles to move over the computers and other office equipment, to be ready for services to be transferred to the new site. We will also take over the majority of the playground toys. The movers will help us take over large items such as the refrigerators, file cabinets and classroom furniture. For inspections, we need to have our classroom, kitchen and office space completely set up and functional. We have winter break to remove any random items that didn’t make it over in trucks and to clean our temMore Facility on Page A3

option open to alter those descriptions by advising that the descriptions are “under review” in part because of a salary study for county positions that’s underway. Changing the job descriptions requires the approval of the county commissioners, which would delay posting the job until after the next regular meeting Jan. 8 and thus put the hiring date out past the end of January. The board hopes to fill the position by mid-January. Depending on the skill

sets of applicants, the board discussed hiring an independent contractor to manage the fair, which would reduce the workload for the event center manager as well as the office assistant. The event center manager would oversee the independent contractor, but not be responsible for the fair’s overall operations. New Event Event planner Crissy Cooper of West Coast Adventures made a presentation about a new event she is planning, Coastal Legends, which she described as a “celebration of a magical place on the Wild Rivers Coast where the mountains meet the sea.” Cooper was the event planner for this year’s Slam’n Salmon event at the Port of Brookings Harbor. The new event is billed as a community storytelling occasion with several competitions planned, including a visual and performing arts competition, a talent search, strength and agility competition, a concert with a headliner act, vendors market, and possibly a beach bonfire if allowed. Cooper said she plans to hold the event Feb. 28-29 and wants to partner with the Event Center on the Beach as a “calculated investment” because it’s the “perfect venue.” The catch, however, is that she needs to have a commitment by next week to begin booking entertainers and vendors. “I need to be executing

this by the day after Christmas,” Cooper said. Cooper presented barebones financials based on an estimated attendance of 1,200 people. She projects a return of anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 from sponsorships. The event would be managed by Cooper, but would still be the Event Center’s event. “I’m trying to encourage our local event planners to start thinking outside the box a little bit,” Cooper said. “Let’s start building off-season events. It should literally be all year, from one month to the next, where we are leaning into the next event and the next event.” She said it would not require additional staff resources at the event center. “I have a staff of 48 on trigger contract to do anything we need, from picking up trash to providing gate security,” she said. The board agreed unanimously to enter contract negotiations with Cooper. Other Business • Accepted a check from Gold Beach City Councilor Becky Campbell for $235,090.49 as their share of the city’s transit lodging tax. • Decided on a process for getting roofing repairs for Docia Sweet Hall out to bid and completed this year. • Discussed the master planning process for the event center campus, which was tabled for further discussion in the January meeting.

Letters & Columns Don’t focus too much on the humbled Jesus Dear Editor: Happy Birthday, Jesus? Those were the sarcastic words to me from an unbeliever.

And yet, have we made too little of who Jesus really is today. For some, He’s still the safe and manageable baby in the manger. There’s not too much to fear there. We seem to focus too much on the humbled Christ, when He came to save us from our sins, and not nearly enough on the exalted Christ.

The Word of God says, “And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of

those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippines 2:8-11.)

add additional material to the playground to give an adequate fall zone, which is required for a play structure. The Pilot: What are the challenges to making the playground a reality, and what is Head Start doing to overcome those challenges? Smith: Lack of funds for the playground is our biggest challenge right now. Our admin is actively looking for grants to apply for. We have been focused on the move. Once that is complete, we can focus more on fundraisers and reaching out to the community for donations. The program operations director, Kim Brick, asked if there may be someone willing to donate that would like a playground named after them. Donations of labor, etc., may help us to keep costs down. The Pilot: What would be the cost of the playground and how would that cost be funded? Smith: I believe the original retaining wall that was planned for was around $40,000. We will need fill material for the fall zone. A structure would probably be an additional $10,000 to $20,000, double that if we can get an EHS play structure. It would be amazing to have a covered area to protect us from the sun and rain, but we will be ecstatic just to start with a flat surface to play on. If we have to get a playground in stages, we will be happy, because it is better that what we are currently utilizing. The Pilot: What would the playground involve? What type of structures and

The other room will be used for storage, until we have the opportunity to order storage cabinets, etc. This will happen over the summer. The Pilot: One of the concerns mentioned in our previous discussions was the lack of a playground at the newly renovated facility. What is being done to plan and produce a playground? Smith: We are looking into grants, donations and fundraising to secure funding to build a retaining wall, which will allow us to create a flat surface for a playground so we can install a play structure. The playground and retaining wall were in the original plans, but unforeseen issues, such as a change in architects and a sinking foundation in the back room, caused it to be cut. The Pilot: Where would the playground be located at the site? Smith: The playground would remain in the same location. We would be allowed to extend it out on three sides. One end could be designated for the Early Head Start playground, because they require a smaller structure. Currently, the playground is on a steep slope. Without the retaining wall, we cannot

why those specific structures? Smith: We added a wide sidewalk with the renovation so children can ride bikes. When choosing a play structure, we have to follow our state licensing requirements. We want something that is developmentally appropriate and safe for the age of children that we provide services to. Guidelines include safe spacing on the structure to prevent a child’s head or hands from becoming entrapped, a certain depth of fall zone material. The structure has to be a certain distance from fences and walls, etc., all focused on keeping the children safe. Until we have a retaining wall, unfortunately we can’t fit a play structure of any size. With the slope, we cannot put down the adequate fall zone material. And without pushing out the fence line, we wouldn’t have enough of a fall zone around the play structure. The Pilot: Why is a playground important for Head Start students? Smith: Outdoor play is so beneficial to children’s development. They need the opportunity to practice their gross motor skills, such as riding bikes, running, climbing and balancing. They build muscle and improve their coordination while

exploring their physical abilities. As in all environments at Head Start, children practice sharing, taking turns and other social skills. And, of course, there are health benefits of gross motor play. If you have ever spent time in a preschool classroom, you will see that the opportunity to play outside and use up some energy improves behaviors in the classroom.

Oregon U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley’s staff said he plans to kick off 2020 with 12 town halls across southern and central Oregon, including one in Curry County. The town halls will be held Jan. 2-5 in Douglas, Coos, Curry, Josephine, Jackson, Klamath, Deschutes, Jefferson, Crook, Wheeler, Grant and Gilliam counties. According to a statement from Merkley’s office, he will update constituents on his work in Washington, D.C., and answer questions and invite suggestions about how to tackle challenges facing the state and nation. Since joining the Senate in 2009, Merkley has held a town hall in each of Oregon’s 36 counties every year, according to a representative. The meeting in Curry County will be Jan. 2 at 5:30 p.m. at the Port Orford Community Hall, 419 Eleventh St.

Background Head Start first moved to the Redwood Spur Street location in 2012. The renovation of the building at that site was to provide more space for Head Start and a more environmentally appealing setting for the students and staff. The remodeling includes an additional Early Head Start classroom, allowing Head Start to expand and provide a school experience for children from birth to age 3, and an additional Head Start classroom for ages 3-5. Smith said Head Start is serving eight to 10 children in its home-based program and provides services to 38 families. Since November 2018, the programs have been operated from a temporary site at 525 5th St. in Brookings.

DEAR ABBY Girlfriend closely attached to son is distant to family DEAR ABBY: One of my sons is dating a young woman who seems to care deeply for him, but is very cool and distant to our family. He goes to nearly all of her family’s events, but she seldom comes to any of ours. She has been to one birthday get-together at a restaurant, a wedding and a play where I bought the tickets for her, myself and all my daughters-in-law. She has been invited to family dinners at one or another of our homes, Christmas celebrations, Thanksgivings, birthdays -- you name it -- but has not come to any of them. My husband and I hand-make our gifts to her, which require a lot of time and effort. Last year, she sent us each a gift for Christmas. They have been dating for several years. When they are apart, she texts him constantly. I am confused and troubled by her indifference to us. We have been more than welcoming to her. Is there anything I or we could do to help her warm up to us? -- FLUMMOXED MOM IN THE SOUTH DEAR FLUMMOXED: Have you talked with your son

By Abigail Van Buren about this? If not, you should. You are already doing everything you can, so prepare to batten down the hatches. If your son eventually marries this insecure young woman, she will continue isolating him from his family and absorb him into her own. When the grandchildren come, they will spend the majority of their time with her family and not yours. It is harsh, but it’s the truth. Unless your son is strong enough to put his foot down, it’s exactly what will happen. You have my sympathy. DEAR ABBY: I am a naturally thin young woman. Oftentimes, especially when I’m working in offices with older women, my co-workers comment on their dissatisfaction with their weight and how they wish their body could be more like mine. To be honest, I don’t equate thinness with beauty or fat with ugliness. But when I try to tell these women I think they are beautiful as they are, it’s received with suspicion, as if they think I don’t mean what I say. How can I respond to those who are unhappy with their weight without sounding insincere? I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings. -- THIN IN FLORIDA

DEAR THIN: When your co-workers compliment you about your figure, smile and say thank you. Period. If they express dissatisfaction with their appearance, do not allow yourself to be drawn into the conversation. You can’t alleviate their insecurities; they haven’t believed you when you tried. Because the subject makes you uncomfortable, try changing the topic to another one. DEAR ABBY: Is there a place where I can donate puzzles? I always make sure all the pieces are there. I put them in a zip bag inside a taped box so anyone who gets them would be getting something that’s as good as new. I have a whole closet full, and I need to find a place to donate them. They are too nice to throw away. -WANTING TO SHARE IN WASHINGTON DEAR WANTING: I am sure that if you call around you will discover that senior centers, hospitals, nursing homes, libraries, churches, schools and rehabilitation facilities could put those puzzles to good use. It’s worth a try.

ath Falls. “SNAP plays a critical role in addressing hunger and food insecurity,” said Oregon Department of Human Services Director Fariborz Pakseresht. “SNAP benefits assist Oregonians during difficult times to help make ends meet, in particular those working low-wage (jobs) or who are between jobs.

Staff Report

Page A6 – Tuesday, December 24 – Curry Coastal Pilot

Teachers, school district bear down David Hayes Staff Writer More than 90% of the Del Norte Teachers Association’s members voted on Dec. 18 to authorize the union’s executive board to call a strike if a contract settlement is not reached. “We want what’s best for our students, and extreme teacher turnover hurts our kids,” said union president Marshall Jones in a press release. “Over the last three years, there has been a 47% turnover (in teachers) and that means some students see different educators on a monthly basis. This lack of consistency fails students, leaving them more unconnected than ever before.” District officials were unavailable for comment during the holiday break. The vote authorizes the chapter’s executive board to call a strike if no agreement is reached after the contract bargaining process has been exhausted. That process will be finished when a state factfinder’s report is released Jan. 14. The two sides met with a state mediator on Dec. 5 in a factfinding session for more than 19 hours. At issue is the school district’s latest, best offer of a 1% guaranteed pay increase

and a one-time, 1% pay increase based on current student enrollment numbers, according to district spokesman Michael Hawkins. Hawkins said the overall raises offered to the teachers by the district for this year may be only 2%, but they include “a hidden cost to the district that is not shown here from retirement and other benefits.” That comes to about a 2.6% cost increase to the district to give the teachers a 2% salary raise, he said. Jones said the teachers’ union disagrees that the district’s offer amounts to that much of a pay hike. He said the association’s negotiators are seeking a 3.26% raise, which would reflect a cost-of-living adjustment in state funding that the school district is expected to receive. Meantime, Jones said, he learned Dec. 12 that the school administration already is taking steps to keep schools open should the union strike. “(The) district has contracted to the Humboldt School District for substitutes to come up on buses to break up a strike,” Jones said he’d learned from “intercepted correspondence.” “If teachers strike, the district seems to have an extra $366 to give subs to break up a strike,” said Jones.

An estimated 300 teachers and community members attended a Dec. 11 meeting of the Del Norte Unified School Board of Trustees. Photo by David Hayes. Del Norte school officials said in media reports that the correspondence Jones had intercepted was a confidential document sent to local building principals. Human Resources Director Colleen Parker acknowledged she had inquired of the Humboldt County Office of Education about dipping into its substitute teacher pool if a strike occurs here. On average, teachers in Del Norte County receive

$366 a day. Parker said the administration is preparing a resolution to send to the district’s board of trustees on Jan. 9 detailing the administration’s recommended compensation for substitute teachers to fill in should a strike occur. Jones said that now, the contract negotiations are more than about just pay raises. Rather, the talks also are about teacher retention. He pointed out that 25%

of the union’s teachers are eligible to retire, which most of them are considering because of their perceived poor treatment by the school district’s management. Jones added that newly hired teachers are resigning weekly to seek employment in other districts. “There have been four resignations in the last few months because of the way teachers are being treated,” he said. “The last one was

(Dec. 18).” He said there have been a minimal number of applicants for recent teacher vacancies and that “refusing to attract and retain great teachers creates a crisis that will cripple our community’s education for teachers, for parents and for students now and in the future. “Call it the ‘Ghost of Christmas future.’ This crisis is real and this crisis is now.”

Some Curry County fees went up, others went down following passage of a resolution by the county commissioners during a public hearing Dec. 18. Commissioner Court Boice was the dissenting vote. The County Planning

Department saw the most changes. Planning Director Becky Crockett said no fee changes had made by the department in 2019, during which staff members spent time evaluating the fees in other counties. “Increases were based on the number of hours to do basic tasks,” she said. Fees that increased included planning, land-use

ments came about because of the sheer number of requests in 2019 due to the real estate market, Crockett said. The department handled just five or six requests in all of 2018, and this year the number averaged that many each month. The biggest increase in fees were for archeological and historical site alterations, rising from $1,449 to $6,000;

master plan development, up from $6,177 to $15,000; and destination resorts, up from $5,177 to $12,000. Two new fees were added, for nonconforming use determination ($500) and determination of substantial development/vested right ($500). The primary reductions in fees were for living in an RV during construction of a home, and hardship mobile home or RV - both dropping from $1,449 to $500. Fees for subdivisions and planned-unit development also were lowered, “to facilitate working with

planned hikes in the Oregon gas tax goes into effect Jan. 1. That increase is part of House Bill 2017, the Keep Oregon Moving legislation passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2017.

This increase would raise the Oregon gas tax from 34 to 36 cents a gallon. The current federal tax is 18.4 cents a gallon. Oregon’s counties and cities are allowed to add their own local gas tax as well. At full implementation in 2024, Oregon’s gas tax will be 40 cents a gallon.
