SERVING CURRY COUNTY SINCE 1946

Brookings, Oregon

Two Brookings boys headed to DC conference Linda Pinkham Staff Writer

T

wo Brookings sixthgrade boys from Azalea Middle School are headed to Washington, DC this summer. Conrad Watkins and R.E. Krebs were nominated by their pre-algebra teacher, Megan Strain, to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference.

The nomination is based on academic achievement and demonstrated leadership potential. Both boys are straight-A students, but Krebs felt they may have qualified for leadership potential because they “don’t act up in class — so she (Ms. Strain) said ‘These kids

can do it,’ and now we’re doing it.”

“She called us leaders,” Watkins said. “These leaders can do it.”

They will join middle school students from around the country “for the educational experience of a lifetime,” according to a congratulatory letter.

They will participate in the “Voices of Change” project, where they will create an action-oriented organization to create positive change at school and in their community.

During the 6-day conference, they will learn about leadership skills in the areas of communication, collaboration, time-management and self-management on

the first day. On the second day, the conference focuses on goal setting, the American presidency, running for President and Presidential elections. They will then be introduced to the Voices of Change project and select a topic to research and eventually make a presentation.

They will participate in field studies by traveling to Harpers Ferry where they will visit the site of John Brown’s attack on slavery and learn about the Civil War choices and consequences. On another field day, the group will visit the U.S. Capitol, the National Museum of American History, the Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Korean War Veterans

Memorial.

They will then meet living-legend Anthony Robles and hear from him about the power of hard work and strong belief in yourself. Robles was born with only one leg but went on to become a 3-time All-American wrestler and the 2011 NCAA National wrestling champion.

The two boys, who are best friends, will stay in dorms, which allows them to experience college life for the week.

“I think it will show us what college life is like, which we don’t know anything about,” Krebs said.

“It’s going to show us More Conference on Page A5

Brookings-Harbor graduation rate rises to 80 percent

Final preps

T

he graduation rate for Brookings-Harbor High School Class of 2019, released by the Oregon Department of Education on Jan. 23, was 80.58 percent, an increase of 6.14 percentage points over the previous year.

The rate for Brookings-Harbor for the 2018 graduating class was reported as 74.44 percent by the ODE. The statewide graduation rate for the class of 2018-19 was 80 percent, up 1.3 percentage points over the previous year and the highest graduation rate ever recorded in Oregon, according to data released Thursday, Jan. 23, by the ODE. “This year’s graduation rate increase means nearly 600 additional students earned a diploma,” ODE Director Colt Gill said. “We are seeing even faster growth for students of color, students with disabilities and students navigating poverty than the state as a whole. Student Success Act funding will build on this promising foundation to foster equity and excellence for all Oregon students.”

The four-year graduation rate is the percentage of students, adjusted for transfers into and out of the school, district, that earn a regular or modified diploma within four years of entering high school.

When students who earn a GED are included in the four-year rate, Brookings-Harbor’s 2019 percentage rises to 82.01.

The state’s four-year graduation rate has increased by 8 percentage points over five years.

The gap in high school graduation rates between historically underserved student groups and the state average is smaller than in previous years.

The year-to-year increase in graduation rates was greater for every underserved student group than the increase in the state average, bringing underserved student groups closer to the statewide average than ever before.

“Every student in Oregon deserves to graduate prepared for lifelong success and with a plan for their future,” said Governor Kate Brown. “Working together over the last five years, through a commitment to closing opportunity gaps for students in all our communities, we have made steady progress increasing the number of Oregon students complet-

Grocery Outlet grand re-opening almost complete

Linda Pinkham Staff Writer

ork is almost complete for Grocery Outlet’s move from Harbor to Brookings into the old Ray’s Food Store at 906 Chetco Avenue. Owners Hal and Lori Panter gave The Pilot a tour of the new store last week, answered our questions and described the changes customers will see on Jan. 30 when the new location opens its doors.

The grand opening festivities start at 8 a.m. with free reusable bags for the first 200 customers in line. Free coffee and donuts will be available until noon, with a live DJ. At 9 a.m. an opening ceremony and ribbon cutting will officially open the store. Free wine tastings are from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. The store will hold a series of prize drawings over the next three weeks for a 55-inch TV and surround sound system, a pair of Mongoose fat tire mountain bikes and a tandem kayak.

The store’s new decor will feature a custom-made mural that highlights sights from around Brookings, with azaleas, Natural Bridge, elk, whales, crabs, fishing boats, and more.

The mural complements the new signage throughout that gives shoppers immediate direction to find produce, meats, deli, dairy and more.

The mural design is also on the back of the new uniform shirts, which the Panters were wearing this day. Employees are excited about the new store, and when they saw the new shirts, wanted to know when they would get their new polostyle shirts.

Many of the employees have spent the last couple of weeks moving items from the old store and stocking the shelves at the new store. “Our employees have been separated between the two stores,” Hal said. “They put in so much work and so much effort without any complaining. They just do it.”

One of the bigger questions around the community is “Why did Grocery Outlet decide to move?”

“We had a lot of issues with that building over there,” Hal said. “When they built that building, the equipment was already 20 years old. They kind of used a lot of old equipment. Now we’ve been there for 15 years, so some of that equipment is going on 25 to 35 years old.” The Harbor location used to be Price N Pride, basically McKay’s, according to Lori Panter.

“It was going to be a big undertaking to revamp that store,” Hal said. “So they had to make a decision whether to make investments into that or take the opportunity to build a new store. They felt if they built a new store, it could be here for 30 years. So the decision was made to make the investment and build a new store with all brand new equipment.

There’s no used equipment in here — everything’s brand new.”

When a location right in the center of town came available at 5th Street and Highway 101, Grocery Outlet decided that would be a better location that fits their new location strategies over the last 5 to 10 years, Hal said. “They used to find places around the corner, cheap rent places.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on Friday, Jan. 17, released the decision record for the reclassification of public domain lands as part of one of the final steps of the implementation of the Western Oregon Tribal Fairness Act. The Act, signed into law

by President Donald Trump on Jan. 8, 2018, directed the BLM to transfer 14,708 acres of public lands to be held in trust for the benefit of the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians, and 17,812 acres to be held in trust for the benefit of the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians.

Of these conveyed lands, 31,132 acres were lands managed under the Oregon and California Lands (O&C

lands) Act of 1937.

In addition to transferring these lands into trust for the Tribes, the Act also required the BLM to identify and convert public domain lands to replace the conveyed O&C lands. Reclassifying these lands as O&C lands will allow 18 western Oregon counties to share in a portion of receipts from timber sales on these lands.

The selected alternative in the decision record ensures that BLM will meet the requirements of the law by converting lands of approximately equal acreage and condition. This will ensure that these converted lands have the potential to provide approximately equal timber receipt payments to O&C counties as the conveyed O&C lands would have.

The selected alternative will also reclassify plots to best match the condition of the conveyed O&C lands that were transferred to the tribes. This means that the selected alternative will also match the estimated average annual payments to O&C counties from timber sales on reclassified lands that the O&C counties would have received from timber sales on the conveyed tribal lands.

The reclassification of public domain lands to O&C lands does not change the management of the land, which is governed by the 2016 Northwestern and Coastal Oregon Resource Management Plan and the Southwestern Oregon Resource Management Plan.

Obituary

Lady Bruins rout Crusaders, 63-33 After having Tuesday’s game with North Valley canceled, coach Chris Schofield’s Lady Bruins came to Medford on Friday looking... well, rested.

Maybe they have that famous television advertising guru “My Pillow Guy” Mike, on speed dial?

Whatever the reason, the Brookings-Harbor basketball team came with game and over four periods convincingly dismantled their Farwest 3A-5 counterparts, the St. Mary Crusaders, 64-33, to up their league record to 2-2 and enter into a potential fourway traffic jam with South Umpqua, Cascade Christian, and Douglas for the second

spot behind undefeated 4-0 Sutherlin.

BHHS senior guard, Sidney Alexander, got it to going early on in the contest after grabbing the opening tip-off to immediately turn and fire a three-pointer. She continued her scoring spree reeling off 11 of the Lady Bruins’ 21 points along with teammate, Shelby Jirsa, who also knocked down a triple.

The Lady Crusaders managed to net 10 points in the first frame, many of them as a result of some overly eager defensive Bruins’ play that resulted in multiple trips to the charity stripe for the home team throughout the evening.

A predictor of things to come, BHHS would be without the services of two

of its leading scorers for most of the evening, when Sierra Fitzhugh and Alexander picked up two fouls apiece, earning a place on the bench.

It did not matter.

The second period saw the Bruins expand their lead at the half to 45-20 with Alexander making a quick appearance to can another trey, the highlight for St. Mary’s coming when sophomore Paige Rajagopal nailed a three-pointer of her own.

The Bruins continued to be in foul trouble. Huddling with Schofield at the intermission, the reality in front of them was that four Lady Bruins had three fouls each with the second half still to play.

Fortunately for the BHHS nation, the O.S.A.A. sixth-

ranked Bruins had enough in the tank to go the distance, outscoring their hosts 12-9 in the third to expand their margin to 57-29.

Like a driver nervously looking at the gas gauge and seeing it flirting with empty, the Lady Bruins entered the final frame with four team members close to fouling out.

Alexander led the Bruins with 17 points, followed by Pettis with 16 and with Murray nine.

The Lady Bruins improve to 2-2 in league, while St. Mary’s drops to 0-4. Brookings-Harbor is playing at home in the next two contests against South Umpqua on Tuesday and Cascade Christian on Friday. Game times are scheduled for 7 p.m and 5:30 p.m., respectively.

Group for singles starts in Brookings Linda Pinkham Staff Writer Going out to dinner, enjoying a concert, dancing, wine tasting, moon gazing, walking on the beach, a picnic in the park — these aren’t solo activities, so say two members of a new singles group forming in Brookings.

Kevin Roeckl and Debra Crawford are trying to do something about the problem, although both are quick to claim they aren’t the leaders of the group.

“Besides meeting really interesting people, I’d like to find somebody that lives here locally to connect with, and you know, start dating,” Crawford said.

“Some people want that and some people were very clear from the beginning that Imagine, if you are single, being able to take a walk at Whaleshead Beach with a group of friends instead of by yourself.

COMICS/PUZZLES KING CROSSWORD

Garfield® by Jim Davis

Marmaduke ® by Brad Anderson

DEAR ABBY Couple is target of ridicule for their healthy lifestyle DEAR ABBY: We need advice about how to respond to friends and family who poke fun or show disdain because of our healthy lifestyle. We are in our 60s. We rarely eat out, and when we do, we avoid fast food. We cook most of our meals with an emphasis on vegetables, fruits, fish and chicken. We exercise regularly and have occasional treats. We have no chronic illnesses and aren’t on any medications.

For some reason, our food choices rub people the wrong way. If we are asked why we are in good health, we answer, “Over the years, we’ve learned not to consume foods or beverages that make us feel bad.” If we’re invited out to eat and order the baked salmon with broccoli instead of the burger and fries, we hear, “Your diet is so BORING.” We usually laugh and shrug it off, but we don’t think our diet is boring. We simply enjoy being healthy and know that food is “medicine.” Should we continue to keep our mouths shut? -HEALTHY LIVING

By Abigail Van Buren DEAR HEALTHY: YEP! Your friends and family react the way they do because seeing you eat the way you do makes them feel self-conscious about their own food choices. Continue laughing and shrugging to age 100. The others may not be as fortunate as you.

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend recently discovered that I am still talking to another girl I used to date. I’ll call her Kyra.

Kyra and I had agreed we would remain strictly friends, and the breakup was before I started dating my current girlfriend, “Jan.” Jan is devastated by this, and I can somewhat understand why.

She got cheated on multiple times in her last relationship.

Do you think I was crossing a boundary by wanting to maintain the friendship with Kyra? Or should I have dropped it when I started dating Jan? I’m asking you because everyone I talk to agrees with me, and everyone Jan talks to agrees with her.

I assume it’s because people agree with whoever is telling the story. You are unbiased, and your opinion would be

greatly appreciated. -- DOING THERIGHT THING IN UTAH DEAR DOING: There’s nothing wrong with remaining friends after a breakup.

Jan is insecure because her last boyfriend cheated on her, and who can blame her?

However, that is her problem, and you shouldn’t make it yours. Your mistake was not telling Jan when you first started dating that you are still in touch with Kyra -- and that she’s a platonic friend, nothing more. Jan does not have the right to control your friendships, and you shouldn’t let it happen.

DEAR ABBY: How do you cut off a person who talks constantly without a break?

By the time there’s a lull in her speech, I have forgotten what I wanted to add to the conversation. -- WORD IN EDGEWISE IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR WORD: I have encountered compulsive talkers like her. They are exhausting.

Remember, she has to breathe SOMETIME. The minute she starts to inhale, start talkin’!

“The size of the store and sales floor are the same size in the new location as before,” Hal said. “The layout is a lot smarter. The company has gotten a lot smarter. They’ve done a lot more studying of categories — what categories sell better than others.”

The new store will have expanded produce, meat, beer and wine, and nosh sections, according to Hal. “Some of the categories that have shrunk to make that happen are in the nonfood area, health and beauty,” he said.

“It’s really just the general trend of the country,” Lori said. “People are eating more fresh, more produce. They’re cooking more and thinking about what they are eating. We want to expand those areas for the customers.”

The store’s new shelving allows more items to fit into the aisles. Instead of 2-tier racking, the store will have 3- and 4-tier racking. The additional tiers allow the store to display twice as many items in the same space. “The whole thing is the newer look of Grocery Outlet,” Hal said.

The store aisles appear wider, but the Panters both say they are the same width. The difference is that with the new shelving, they won’t have as many floor stacks in the aisles.

They have also added an additional checkout stand, with six available now.

Grants available to preserve historic cemeteries The Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries is offering grants for qualified historic cemeteries. The annual grants fund projects that preserve historic cemeteries.

Projects funded in the past include marker repair workshops, fencing, signs, interpretive panels and brochures, security lighting, access improvements, records management, and more.

Awards typically range between $1,000 and $8,000, but have been higher. Anyone may apply for a grant. Projects must be

related to historic cemeteries listed with the Oregon Commission on Historic Cemeteries.

Recent projects include marker repair and workshops in several cemeteries, installations of signs and informational kiosks, a preservation plan, and a fence replacement.

“Our goal is to preserve Oregon’s historic cemeteries and offer support throughout the application process,” said historic cemeteries program coordinator Kuri Gill.

Past awards include projects in Clackamas, Douglas, Jackson, Lane, Multnomah

Sherman, Columbia, Union, and Umatilla Counties.

The online grant application is simple to use and includes plenty of support. A free workshop specific to this grant and how to use the online grant application system will be offered Feb. 24, 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. It will be available in person or as a webinar. Recorded trainings and tips are also online.

State law established the seven-member historic cemeteries commission to maintain a listing of all historic cemeteries and gravesites

in Oregon; promote public education on the significance of historic cemeteries; and help obtain financial and technical assistance for restoring, improving and maintaining their appearances.

Coast Guard reminds mariners of hazardous bar conditions The Coast Guard advises all mariners of the dangers related to crossing hazardous bars in the Pacific Northwest.

Recent incidents have highlighted the challenges of attempting to cross waterway bars in heavy weather and at night. The marine casualty of a commercial fishing vessel on the Coos Bay bar resulted in the loss of a vessel, but miraculously all three crew members were saved. Unfortunately, in a similar incident on the Yaquina Bay bar, both the crew and the vessel were tragically lost.

The Coast Guard previously established regulated navigation areas for specific locations on the Oregon and

Washington coasts and created guidance for these locations. When conditions become hazardous, the Captain of the Port (COTP) for the Coast Guard, having jurisdiction over a particular area, will either restrict or close the bar. See Title 33 CFR Part 165.1325 for additional information.

Bar closure — As determined by the COTP, when the environmental conditions exceed the operational limitations of the relevant Coast Guard search and rescue resources, the bar will be closed and no vessels can cross the bar unless specifically exempted by the COTP. Restricted bar — The

P269396lP0107

COTP will restrict a bar for vessels of a specified length as follows: • Recreational vessels — Vessels of the prescribed length or less cannot cross the bar • Uninspected passenger vessels — Vessels of the prescribed length or less cannot cross the bar Night-time bar operations — The Coast Guard typically reports bar conditions from first light to last light, meaning bar reports become outdated as conditions change during the night. Vessel operators should exercise extreme caution when transiting a restricted bar between sunset to sunrise. If there is any doubt as to conditions on the bar, vessel masters should consider staying outside in deep water until updated conditions can be determined.

When the bar is restricted to vessels of a specified length, masters of commercial fishing vessels up to and including that length, shall contact the Coast Guard on VHF-FM channel 16 or 22A prior to crossing the bar and report

the vessel’s name, location or position, the number of persons aboard and destination.

Rough bar escorts — At times, the Coast Guard may determine that the safest option is to escort vessels across a hazardous bar. While the variability of each bar and given conditions require flexibility in how the Coast Guard will undertake an escort, typically two Coast Guard Motor Life Boats will be on scene.

Guidance from the on-scene Coast Guard units is always advisory in nature, and at no time are vessel masters relieved of their responsibility for the safe operation and navigation of their vessel.

Bar reporting and guidance — The Coast Guard has released guidance on the following regulated navigation areas. You can access these guidance documents at www.fishsafewest.info/ Regs.asp then open the “Bar

Crossing Guidance” folder.

Outreach — Vessel masters unfamiliar with local bar conditions, bar reporting methods or Coast Guard escort techniques are strongly encouraged to contact their local Coast Guard station.

Commanding officers and officers-in-charge of local stations can provide an overview of their bar reporting areas and discuss in detail how their unit will conduct rough bar escorts.

AARP applauds house delegation for standing up for older workers AARP Oregon praised Oregon’s entire House delegation vote Thursday, Jan. 16, for bipartisan legislation to combat age discrimination — the “Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act” (POWADA). The House of Representatives vote approving the bill is the most important action yet in the long drive toward passage.

tives Blumenauer, Bonamici, DeFazio, Schrader and Walden in sending a clear message that age discrimination must be treated as seriously as other forms of workplace discrimination,” said Ruby Haughton-Pitts, AARP Oregon State Director.

“Today’s vote is especially heartening for older workers, who make vital contributions to society and to their work places, and whose numbers are growing.

The law must be strengthened because age discrimination is widespread, yet too often it goes unreported and unaddressed. AARP urges the Senate to take up and pass these important protections,” she added.

Closer to home, AARP Oregon and other advocates are working to create an Age Discrimination Task Force in the hopes of passing legislation in 2021 to strengthen the state’s age discrimination laws.

nearly an eight percent increase from the current number. In addition, next year the oldest millennials will start turning 40 and they will be covered by the ADEA. The percentage of those 65 and older in the workforce has been increasing incrementally for more than three decades, with more than one in five in that cohort currently working or seeking work.

At the same time, the 2018 AARP “Value of Experience” study showed that age discrimination remains alive and well. The survey found that 61 percent of older workers said they had either faced or observed age bias.

The 61 percent figure is consistent with past surveys on the question and parallels an Oregon survey which found that 62 percent of workers 40 and older had seen or experienced age discrimination in the workplace.

we don’t tolerate sexism, racism or ageism. All forms of discrimination must be rooted out of our society,” said Haughton-Pitts.

POWADA was first introduced, with AARP backing, after an adverse 2009 Supreme Court decision (Gross v. FBL Financial Services, Inc.) that made it much more difficult for older workers to prove claims of illegal bias based on age. The legislation would restore longstanding protections under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), which covers workers aged 40 and over.

In the Senate, the bipartisan companion legislation (SB485) is sponsored by Senators Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Bob Casey (D-PA).

The House action comes as older workers play an increasingly important role in the workforce. Estimates are that by 2024, 41 million people ages 55 and older will be in the labor force,

Many people in the Pacific Northwest are aware of the dangers of the Cascadia Subduction Zone since wider attention has been drawn to the 600-mile fault that runs from northern California to British Columbia, about 70-100 miles off the Pacific coast.

The last Cascadia earthquake and tsunami occurred in this fault on Jan. 26, 1700, with an estimated 9.0 magnitude.

Although it’s been 320 years since the last Cascadia event, officials are confident another one will happen and that it’s a good idea to be prepared. It’s not a matter of if, but rather when, the next Cascadia earthquake and tsunami will strike.

Althea Rizzo, geologic hazards program coordinator for Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management, says that knowing what to do, and how to be prepared for a large-scale earthquake, or any disaster, can help to calm fear and empower people to take action. That action, says Rizzo, includes

putting together a family plan and emergency kits to be 2 Weeks Ready.

“Being prepared to be self-sufficient for two weeks is an achievable goal and you may be more prepared than you think,” says Rizzo.

“See what you already have and you can get there over time.”

Leadership in Oregon is making it a priority to get better prepared for the next Cascadia event. On Monday, Jan. 27, Governor Kate Brown is scheduled to attend an event commemorating the anniversary of Cascadia, and a briefing on the seismic safety technology called ShakeAlert, where she will also officially proclaim Jan. 26 to Feb. 1 as Cascadia Earthquake Preparedness Week.

“When the next largescale Cascadia earthquake and tsunami strike the Pacific Northwest, Oregon will face the greatest challenge of our lifetimes,” said Governor Kate Brown. “To be More Prepares on Page A7

Winning the fight against plants plaguing area’s dunes More than a century after Europeans settled on the West Coast, Del Norte County volunteers are still cleaning up after them.

Specifically, the plants they brought with them.

Those plants now are classified as invasive species, and they’re crowding out native varieties.

According to Sandra Jerabeck, director of Tolowa Dunes Stewards, the organization’s volunteers are removing the species that the European settlers didn’t realize were invasive.

“When European settlers came here, they brought what they were comfortable with, in terms of plants and animals. Those plants - English ivy, English holly - they brought because they liked it.

“There was no understanding at that time what it could do to this environment.

Where it doesn’t have any controls or predators, like those built into our environment, it just takes over and you have nothing but English ivy.

“It will kill all the trees, the forest, it will cover the ground so thickly you’ll have nothing else growing,” Jerabeck said.

The volunteers with Tolowa Dunes Stewards have been focusing their efforts on removing the English beach grass.

Over the decades, the grass grew unchecked, creating a sea of plants that were crowding out local varieties such as the rare Tolowa coast wallflower, which Jerabeck said probably doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world.

She and a rotating group of volunteers have been digging up invasive species at Tolowa Dunes State Park for 16 years.

Jerabeck said the California Department of Parks and Recreation asked for help because it had run out of money to pay crews for the work.

“In terms of all our public

n Prepares Continued from Page A6 ready to recover, we must be aware and prepared. In the

lands, the money they used to have for work like this is gone. They are very underfunded. They can’t do their job without volunteer support.

“California state parks or wildlife areas or national recreation areas all are dependent upon volunteers for restoration, invasive (species) removal and trail maintenance,” Jerabeck said.

There are 11,000 acres of public land in the Tolowa Dune State Park area. Tolowa Dunes Stewards has been concentrating primarily on the South Big Dune and South Lake Toloway areas.

Located a couple of miles north of Crescent City, there’s no road leading all of the way to South Big Dune.

So, the volunteers must park at the end of Old Mill Road and hike more than a mile inland to reach the dune.

They fight back the dunes’ English beach grass twice a month, and tackle other invasive species when they can by removing English ivy, Scotch broom, tansy ragwort, English holly and other, less well-known invasives.

A growing threat, said Jerabeck, is pampas grass.

“I think for this community, it would be really important if everyone removed some English ivy and pampas grass where they live,” she said.

“Because English ivy is going to eat the community.

It kills our trees. It smothers them. It’s very heavy. Even redwood trees can be killed

by English ivy.

“I know that people care about this, they just don’t understand how it works,” she said.

For 16 years, the Tolowa Dunes Stewards have concentrated their efforts within the 30 acres of South Big Dune. Jeraback said that close to half that area has been restored and is under maintenance.

“It’s an enormous accomplishment,” she said. The work is hard going.

Tolowa Dunes Stewards work together to clear South Big Dune of invasive English beach grass.

Sponsored by the Del Norte County Solid Waste Management Authority, the games prompted community residents to remove invasive tansy wort, which can be deadly for livestock.

As a result, nearly 10,000 pounds of the invasive plant were removed from the county’s lands.

Gilbert has also been volunteering with the Tolowa Dunes Stewards for years.

“We can get the grass out,” she said, “and it has a really good chance of the native plants taking over, with minimal maintenance required.

“You can actually see what you’ve accomplished. That’s one of the beauties.

“It’s sort of daunting,” said Gilbert. “It’s definitely hand/ shovel labor, but you get a really great sense of being out in nature and enjoying it.

There’s a peaceful meditation to it.

“We enjoy working as a group. But we work individually, too. So, it’s like having a Zen moment, working but feeling good about it.”

Jeraback said that once the English beach grass is

pulled, it’s disposed of in one of two ways. Sometimes, it’s piled high and burned. Other times, it’s placed on a tarp to dry out and die.

Either way, the stewards return to cleared areas regularly to check for re-sprouts, as the grass has yards-long running roots that can easily be missed.

“You have to pick your fight,” said Jerabeck. “You have to pick locations where once you remove it, you can maintain it. Because it’s surrounded by water or forest, most of Big Dune has that protection. Once it’s finished, it will be maintainable.”

Volunteers Leonard and Joan De Vries split their time between living in Crescent City and Seattle. When they’ve here, they said they always find time to volunteer with the Tolowa Dune Stewards.

“I don’t know how we heard about this,” Leonard said, “but it seemed like a really nice way to contribute something to the environment. We both enjoy the outdoors. I enjoy working with my hands.

everyone to start conversations this week with their families, friends, and loved ones about how to be safe and as ready as possible, especially by having two weeks of ready supplies.”

Oregon Office of Emergency Management has many tools and resources to be prepared for a Cascadia quake and other disasters on their website at www. oregon.gov/OEM.

“The area is sublime.

Beautiful. You feel like you’re doing something good but having a lot of fun at the same time.”

Tom Trueblood said that after 30 years of living in Sacramento, he relocated to Crescent City to move his mother away from the record heat there. An avid bicyclist, Trueblood said he’s been volunteering about a year and a half at the dunes and couldn’t think of a better place to help the environment.

“I especially like it when we work at the big cut to save silver phacelia, a very endangered species. Few

known places have it. It’s beautiful little plants. Gorgeous. Plus, it’s good exercise,” said the 69-year-old Trueblood.

“Older people are supposed to still go out and do stuff. I may go home a little sore, but a day or two later I’m fine. And I know I’ve helped. It’s good. Healthy.

“Plus, I like the people.

During snack time, we sit around and enjoy each other’s company.”

Jerabeck invites others to join their group of volunteers by going to facebook.com/ tolowadunesstewards, or by calling her at 707-954-5253.
