Brookings council 'reconsiders' decision on Howard City attorney urges council to discuss matters behind closed doors

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

Brookings city councilor Michelle Morosky made a surprise announcement at the start of the council meeting on Monday that she wanted to add an agenda item, to "reconsider" her position on two decisions made the previous week

regarding the employment status City Manager Janell Howard.

Howard has been on paid administrative leave since early July after being charged with theft from Fred Meyer.

The motions up for reconsideration involved one that authorized the city attorney to initiate a conversation with City Manager

Janelle Howard about a separation agreement.

The other motion, which failed in a 3-2 vote last week, was made by Mayor Ron Hedenskog. His motion was to take the City Manager Janell Howard out of her current position and make her a new administrative/ grants position at the highest pay level authorized by the city.

Morosky appeared to be the “swing” vote on Monday Oct.

17. She voted yes with councilors Brad Alcorn and John McKinney, forming a majority vote to initiate a separation agreement with Howard.

But her call to “reconsider” Howard’s “separation” was quickly supported by Mayor Ron Hedenskog.

He stepped in to explain he had found an ordinance that allowed a council member who voted with the majority to revisit the ordinance at the same or following meeting.

Mayor Hedenskog and Councilmembers Michelle Morosky and Ed Shreiber voted to place the motions back on the agenda, while

Governor candidate Betsy Johnson touts loyalty to Oregonians

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

Betsy Johnson travelled the state to meet with Oregonians where they live and work during her All of Oregon Tour, stopping in 10 cities in 48 hours along the way.

Johnson made a visit to Gold Beach on Tuesday, Oct. 25 during that tour for a meet and greet at First Chapter Coffee. Johnson said she has visited every county in Oregon during her campaign.

“We are doing this the hard way. We are running unaffiliated,” Johnson told the crowd during her campaign stop on the South Coast.

While Johnson recognizes the challenges that come with running as an unaffiliated candidate, she said it is also her strength. Johnson touts herself as an independent leader loyal only to the people of Oregon. She believes only the people – not a broken political system – can rescue the state.

Johnson served in the Oregon House and Senate for more than 20 years, retiring as Chair of the Joint Ways and Means Committee last year to run for governor. Prior to that, Johnson graduated from law school, owned an aviation business that flew helicopters, and managed the Aeronautics Division of the State Department of Transportation.

“I loved being in the legislature and

taking care of constituents, but in December I decided if I was serious about running for Governor I couldn’t take care of my district the way I always have and I needed to resign. So I have been running flat out since January,” she said.

The unaffiliated governor candidate has a history with both sides of the political spectrum.

“I started out as an R and the Rs got a little too kooky on some stuff for me. So I left the Rs and went to the Ds and a Republican friend of mine in the Senate used to call me a ‘BFD’ and I gasped until he told me it stood for business-friendly democrat,” Johnson said.

“That’s how I represented my district. I was pro-choice, pro-cop, pro-business, pro-accountability and voted very consistently with the district to improve the economy,” Johnson said.

The majority of Betsy Johnson’s campaign stop on Oct. 25 consisted of a question and answer period by rural Oregonians. Johnson fielded questions ranging from how to get grants and funding, to education, gun rights and global nuclear threats.

“I’m very supportive of a lot of choice in education. I think our education system is letting our kids down badly. All you have to see is

Election 2022 - Port Orford City Council

Ann Vileisis

What made you interested in running for this position?

I love Port Orford! I’ve attended city council meetings for several years in relation to specific issues and was asked to fill a vacant seat. I’ve always appreciated the volunteers who serve as council members, and I think I have knowledge and skills to contribute to the city council team — so I decided it was time for me to step up to the plate and volunteer with local government.

What made you interested in running for this position?

I am a glutton for punishment I suppose? I was asked by multiple sitting council members/mayor to run. I didn't want to. I still don't want to. But, my experience in local government and willingness to roll in the mud for a better deal, that with some historical perspective is exactly what P.O. needs, they said. So, I told them, only if you collect the required signatures ... and here I am.

I'm here at what I consider an important time in Port Orford. Things need to be done right, and debates need to be had. Finding fault with a

What made you interested in running for this position?

I became interested in serving on the city council because I am engaged in the community and passionate about the city of Port Orford. My two children attend Driftwood Elementary school, and I am involved in the community as a volunteer firefighter, a small business owner, and a commercial fisherman. I have many ideas to help Port Orford grow and prosper, and for locals to continue to enjoy a healthy quality of life.

I moved to Port Orford in August 2018 and began the adventure of building a house in town. My family is in love with this little town on the edge of the Pacific Ocean.

I have always wanted to run, but simply didn't have time, being self-employed. Now that I am semi-retired, I can.

Brookings-Harbor High School students showed their school spirit while celebrating homecoming week on Oct. 17 through 22. Students had a different "spirit day" theme for each day of the week including PJ day, senior citizen day, monochrome day and Blue and Gold Day. On Friday, students held an in-school pep rally and community noise parade, followed by their homecoming football game with a half-time homecoming court coronation. The week-long celebration was wrapped up on Saturday with a homecoming dance in the Brookings-Harbor High School Cafeteria.

I feel like I stand out as a candidate because I am an open-minded, sensible, and approachable individual who is committed to representing the citizens' best interests and needs.

What skills and expertise would you bring to this position?

I want the best for the residents and city of Port Orford. I have a background in construction and renovation, which I have utilized to rehabilitate the former Shoreline Motel, now called the Shoreline Inn and Suites.

A property which was rundown, and regarded very poorly in this community, but is now a respectable, functioning hotel, generating taxes from overnight lodging that is paid to our city.

and addressing the water issues a priority.

In my opinion, one of our most urgent needs for the city of Port Orford is to find ways to develop more public housing for its citizens. There is a shortage of housing in Port Orford (as there is currently in most of the United States).

I plan to find options for more available housing, with ideas to obtain grants and/or offer property owners incentives to build new efficient homes and long-term rental units in the city. I am in support of accessory dwelling units that could help alleviate the housing shortage, and in addition, offer the city's residents an opportunity to make a supplementary income.

Another urgent need to address is the water issue that our city is faced with. There are numerous water leaks throughout the city, as well as issues with our reservoir.

I have ideas to stop draining money from locals' pockets to make more clean water, by instead putting money toward identifying where our wasted water is going, stop it, and fix our city's water system. I plan to find ways to conserve water to prevent continuing exorbitant curtailment fees

If elected, what issues would you focus on?

The biggest issue for Port Orford right now is our troubled drinking water supply system. Our reservoir is silted in, and our antiquated delivery pipes leak. There have been times over the past couple of years, during house fires and drought, when our supply has been too low for comfort. We now have a moratorium on new building and have a curtailment policy in effect to conserve water.

Though our public works staff has done an amazing job keeping our old system operational, our city needs to tackle some underlying issues so that residents can

I am dedicated to improving what I can for the local residents of Port Orford.

My goals for Port Orford are to uplift our community by supporting local small businesses, our commercial fishermen and the Port, and to nurture our city's Tourism to the benefit of Port Orford.

Tourism is key to bringing in new revenue to make improvements, and give back to locals from tourists' spending their money in our city at local businesses. I enjoy living my American dream in this beautiful, small coastal town.

I have traditional small town values. I value Port Orford's calming lifestyle, its beauty, feeling of safety and security, and sustainable atmosphere.

I like knowing my neighbors and seeing children and adults alike walking and riding bikes around town.

I love this town, as do you, and I am focused on building up Port Orford to be even a greater city than it already is.

I have the passion, drive, and heart to represent Port Orford as a member of city council.

have a safe and reliable water supply. I will focus on making sure our city can make progress on this issue – pressing to get our dredging permit and new meters that will help us to better detect and repair leaks. With secure water, we can explore innovative ways to improve housing availability.

We also need good planning to assure quality of life for our residents and a sustainable future. Our local government needs to work better and to be transparent and fair for everyone.

What would you like to change or improve upon?

I love Port Orford, and I’d like to see our local government work bette – to get things done, to be fair to everyone, and to have the chops to plan for the future –so we can keep Port Orford a special little town into the future, even as we grow.

A very important issue to me, and my main focus, is the availability of water in Port Orford and sur-rounding zones. Since the day I moved here, I heard stories about years of issues concerning water-shed and water infrastructure in the city. It’s taken time to discover the history of past decisions, the truth about the current state, and work on recommendations and solutions for Port Orford’s water woes. Without adequate water systems in place, our homes, safety and health are at risk and the future of Port Orford is questionable.

My skills are that of an experienced member of local government. I know the do's and don'ts. I am currently serving my fourth consecutive term as a commissioner

I also served a 4 year term on the Port Orford City Council from 2014 to 2018, where I was elected council president in 2006 through 2008. I have more local government time under my belt than my friends on the ballot combined, then doubled, and tripled, and more. I think this makes me uniquely qualified. I work on a resource management advisory board at ODFW and am a SOORC board member, keeping offshore wind at bay for a decade. I know how to do this stuff. It's slow, by design.

Can you imagine the mess

we would be in if governments were speedy in their work? Speedily making bad decisions? Slow government is good, in many instances.

Experiences as a business owner don't really help me be a better commissioner or councilor, as the roles are nearly polar opposite.

If elected, what issues would you focus on? What would you like to change or improve upon?

We need our people to trust us – to trust the administration and the government body, because we need a bond if we want water. We need a bond, I will say again. It’s the way forward for our water issues. We can do it... we can pass a bond if there is trust.

Kotek makes her case for governor

by WiLL chaPPeLL Country Media

Democratic gubernato rial candidate Tina Kotek completed a swing down the coast on Sunday, visiting As toria, Seaside, Lincoln City and Newport.

Addressing supporters in Newport, Kotek acknowl edged the housing, homeless ness, addiction and mental health crises facing the state but focused on her plans to address them.

“Oregonians know how to solve their problems,” Kotek said.

“What they need is a gov ernor and a state government that’s going to be by their

side helping them solve their problems so we can move our state forward.”

Kotek pointed to her 2019 call to declare homelessness an emergency in the state and her support of legislation to protect access to housing during the pandemic as the types of action she would take as governor. Both of these calls failed to gain support from Governor Kate Brown, leading them to fizzle.

“We have the resources, we have the know-how, we just need to coordinate things better; that’s where a gover nor comes in,” Kotek said.

She pointed out that she was the only candidate

that has published plans to address these issues, saying her opponents are more con cerned with partisan attacks, especially around law and order issues.

Kotek pushed back against opponents’ attacks on her record on crime, saying that she has always supported the Oregon State Police and other law enforcement.

She also said that as governor she would support expansion the state police, which she noted is particular ly important in rural commu nities.

Other issues Kotek men tioned were gun control and the environment. Kotek said that she supported responsi ble gun ownership but was in favor of more measures to keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous individuals.

She said the environment was also a priority, men tioning her commitment to net-zero carbon emissions for Oregon by 2040.

Kotek acknowledged that the race is very tight and will come down to the last two weeks of campaigning.

While saying that she would support affordable housing development in smaller towns, she expressed a strong commitment to making sure it didn’t come at the expense of farmland. “We have to maintain our farms,” Kotek said.

She pointed to townhouses next to the campaign event as a good middle ground between single-family homes and apartment buildings for suburban and rural areas.

Kotek said that while her opponents claim she is unresponsive to rural con cerns, that is not the case and she understands the different challenges facing rural areas in the state.

“I want to make sure that every part of the state can be successful,” Kotek said.

Kate Brown’s two years of locking kids out of school to see what it’s done. We are getting those academic scores back now from the kids who were locked down and their scores are awful. We have yet to measure their social, emotional and mental health deterioration but I am going to submit it was probably substantial. But we have been on a downward spiral for a long time,” Johnson said.

“I think parents and grand parents are sick of paying as much as they pay and getting a product that is not very good. Tina Kotek and Kate Brown – not on my vote, I voted no – passed a bill that just lowered our standards. I will ask for higher standards and accountability as to how our money is spent with mea surable standards for how we are doing,” she said.

Johnson was asked how to talk to people about guns “without making them afraid they are going to lose some thing?”

“My thinking on the subject has evolved. But I will start by saying I am a responsible gun owner. I don’t want to take anyone’s second amendment rights away but I think we need to do something. I would restrict the age for buying certain weapons from 18 to 21 and I would strengthen background checks including allowing the schools to alert public safety folks if a kid is going seriously off the rails,” Johnson said. “I will also put a heavy dose of mental health experts in the schools.”

Johnson said she’s been endorsed by sheriffs and chiefs of police.

“Because I am a gun own er I believe I am the only one who can compromise. Tina wants to take all the guns, and Christine doesn’t want to do anything. I think we need to do something. I want to keep guns out of the hands of kids, crazy people and criminals.”

When it comes to the economy, Johnson said she is “pro-economic develop

ment.” She described herself as a champion for rural areas, and said the governor should recognize there are different parts of the economic fabric.

“I don’t care whether you make wood chips, silicon chips, cow chips, potato chips – I don’t care. The governor needs to recognize different economic areas throughout our state and promote that economy.”

During her campaign tour stop, Johnson referred to ballot measure 110 as an “abomination.” She supports wrap-around mental health services and said homeless ness needs to be treated as an emergency.

“It is inhumane to leave people in the squalor. We used to think it was a Port land problem. It’s not any more. It’s everywhere. And the fastest growing homeless sector is women,” she said.

Johnson said while her op posing governor candidates

fly in “political celebrities” to promote their campaigns, she is thinking about how to bring people together.

“I don’t need political ce lebrities to come in and give me money. I need to be sit ting in rooms like this talking to Oregonians where you live and work,” Johnson said.

“I’m worrying we are losing Oregonians voice in this campaign. We’ve lost the conversation about how do we govern? How do we bring people back together?” she said. “I think an independent governor because I don’t ride for a brand. I don’t own into some ideology. I’m exact ly the right guy to call the question to work together, and we do the easy stuff first and work our way up to the harder.”

Christine Drazan wants to reverse Gov. Kate Brown’s policies

Christine Drazan is seeking to become the first Republican governor of Oregon since Vic Atiyeh.

A former minority leader of the Oregon House of Representatives, the 51-yearold Republican is a native of Klamath Falls now living in Canby. She is a graduate of George Fox University and served in the House from 2019 through most of 2022. Recent surveys have shown her widening her leads over Democrat Tina Kotek and independent Betsy Johnson.

Drazan said she thinks Oregon is moving in the wrong direction in several ways “I want to fix our schools, keep our communities safe, and make Oregon more livable,” she has said. “When I talk to Oregonians, the issues they want me to address are affordability, education, congestion, homelessness, crime.”

Education

“As a mom of three, I saw first-hand the impacts of the shutdowns on my kids and their friends and neighbors. Those shutdowns hurt their academic progress.”

Drazan has opposed lockdowns related to the COVID pandemic. Regarding any future public health crisis, she has said, “I’ll lead with facts, not fear.”

For students who are struggling, she calls for “interventions and supports that are necessary to bring them up to grade level.”

Homelessness and housing

“We have a crisis in our streets that is driven by homelessness issues,” Dranzan said. “Handing this down to municipalities, I don’t I think is the best approach for full responsibility. Homeless populations, by the nature of being unhoused, move between jurisdictions. It will be for support for shelter space, it will be additional investments, and it will be support for workforce that will back up the mental and behavioral health needs that we have as a state. You will see in my first budget a prioritization of that with dollars that are otherwise being directed right now to programs that are not as essential and critical.

“When I talk about affordable housing, builders, people on the private sector side, they are saying, ‘I can build houses, I can

build apartments, I need local governments to work with me, I need to be able to move through the regulatory process in two years.’ I’ve committed to reviewing rules and regulations across the board and revising, repealing, or rolling back the ones that are an impediment or a barrier.”

When asked about racial disparities in housing today due to past discriminatory policies, Drazan replied, “My administration will have a zero-tolerance policy for racism of any kind by continuing to support key affordability measures like the mortgage interest deduction and firsttime home buyer program.”

Describing the results of Oregon’s greatly increased spending on housing “underwhelming,” Drazan called for incentives to accomplish public policy goals and said, “I am supportive of private entities providing resources to accomplish housing goals.”

Crime and safety Drazan wants Measure 110, which decriminalized

possession of certain recreational drugs, repealed.

Regarding the lack of addiction treatment facilities, she said the state now has the ability to cooperate with non-profit partners to make sure they have the support to keep expanding their services to meet demand.

The environment

“Oregon is already among the greenest states in the country, due in large part to our ability to access renewable hydropower and other clean power sources,” Drazan said. With respect to transportation, consumers should have the option to purchase an electric vehicle. It shouldn’t be a requirement, and our current energy grid cannot support a prohibition on gas- or diesel-powered vehicles. I support widening our highways by building more lanes.

“I believe we can both reduce traffic times and reduce emissions from idling engines, but this is an incomplete solution unless we address jobs. We need to ensure that people can access

work within a reasonable distance from the home that they can afford. As long as we place housing and jobs at opposite ends of the metro area, we will face congestion challenges. We must take a more holistic approach and provide economic opportuni-

ty to all communities.”

Turning to land use and congestion, Drazen called the state’s land use system “one of a kind,” and noted it has prevented urban sprawl by letting suburbs transition into farmland, but also “extraordinarily complex,” and often

“very expensive to navigate.”

“The Land Conservation and Development Commission,” she said, “must be nimble, more accessible for everyday Oregonians, and should not hold future development hostage in bureaucratic purgatory.”

Boice is requesting an independent “fact checking” process, similar to that he asked for; a Commissioner PaaschCourt Boice debate (twice earlier this year). Unfortunately, Mr. Paasch declined both requests. This new invitation is to Treasurer David Barnes, by Boice who stated, “At this Townhall discussion, I also want to take the opportunity to provide information as to why I’m strongly supporting the more and highly qualified Curry Citizen Douglas Baker as a ‘Write-In’ candidate for County Treasurer.”

Curry Commissioner Boice commented, “I’m no great debater, however, put me in a room with any of these detractors, anyone in this county, including the Sheriff. The facts are easy to present. So many things have been said in the last four years in our county that are simply, if not blatantly false. It’s important to note and the records will verify, I didn’t initiate any of these unfortunate and unnecessary conflicts. I just dared, on occasion to disagree while always providing the facts”. Conduct related fallout and the damage caused by certain County officials, their lawsuits and related ridiculous political attempts have had tremendous negative impacts on the citizens of our County. Further, it has sadly destroyed much needed confidence and compromised capacities to get the work done. To date, some Curry Officials have refused oversight, transparency, accountability, open and honest dialogue.

Basically, the people understand that no one employed by the County can run from or avoid public scrutiny of their commentary and behavior. It is the reason we have important Curry Personnel Rules. Boice stands behind his six-year Commissioner track record unequivocally and most Curry Citizens know he has worked six days per week during that entire time vigorously defending the County against these debilitating dysfunctions.

Boice’s first challenge to Treasurer Barnes was on October 18th. As of this writing, Mr. Barnes has yet to respond to Commissioner Boice. To face up to this challenge, is especially important as he was an ‘appointed’ Curry Treasurer. All Public Officials and elected individuals have an important professional obligation to the citizens. Mr. Barnes and Mr. Paasch both should have demonstrated good faith and immediately accepted my invitations. Boice added, “I hope that Treasurer Barnes will take responsibility and respond to this request. It is time for him to be accountable for his decisions and conduct, 2019 to the present. Likewise, I am willing and continue to submit my record and conduct in and with full transparency”

As such, Court Boice is proposing the following: the Fact Checker process would be comprised of three volunteers, pre-agreed by both and participating parties. Then over a thirty-day period, they would do a thorough analysis of public records and other relevant research. They would assess and determine who is guilty, if any of false statements, legal questions, misinformation, or disinformation. legitimate evaluations of debate statements might well lead to discussions regarding who is slandering and who has been slandered. Other important topics such as budget positions, governing philosophies, ethics, spending decisions, complaints, job description interpretations, public service accomplishments, all could and should be open and aboveboard subjects of debate. Each can communicate their detailed Public Policy Records through a respectful question and answer period including timed comments. Following an open discussion, the summary should assist the citizens determining for themselves who is honoring, guarding, and presenting truth.

Boice concluded, “I believe the objective should be straight forward. The people need to be informed. They desire and deserve the facts. Certainly, a fundamental path to brighter days for all of us and our Curry families. Such a discussion should, ultimately, help heal and effect longterm and positive working relationships in our County Government. Further, such an opportunity for citizens to determine where the facts lie could reset the foundation and process of restoring the public trust for the greater benefit of our people and our quality of life, now and in the future”.

day. The safest step is to go inside the post office to the count er and ask for an immediate post mark.

Following is a copy of the letter that I have sent to the Oregon Sec retary of State Fagan, who oversees our elections:

I have been unable to get an answer to the extremely important question “will all Oregon voter ballots that are put into the mail by 8 pm on Election Day be counted?”

Our voter pamphlets say “If you mail your ballot it must be post marked by the USPS by 8 pm on Election Day.” There is no warning to put the ballot in the mail before the last pick up in your area on Election Day.

Potentially the majority of voters will assume that mailing up to 8 pm will be accepted.

Here in Brookings, the last daily pick up, both inside and out of the post office is 11 am. I realize that the last pick up time in Oregon communities varies greatly. Will the USPS here and across the state be making special accommodations for the ballots cast on Election Day?

Assuming is not acceptable.

Our local post office does not answer the phone. When I called our county and the state election offices, I got the answer “I’ll pass your question along.” I attempted to get the local paper interested and I sent an email to the Oregonian.

Clarity is needed. Communi cation to the voters of Oregon is needed.

Objective moral values do exist. Therefore, God exists. An atheist does not have an adequate logical foundation for objective moral ob ligation to a God they don‘t believe in. God’s character is the source of goodness and moral values. If the universe was produced by ran dom events, man is nothing but an animal and not subject to transcen dent right or wrong. It is interest ing I see secularists Democrats continually pull down Republican political placards, but it would be unconscionable for a church going conservative to touch the political property of a Democrat.

The secularist claimed hell was a made up myth. How does the writer know this? He is basing it upon the faith of his opinion. Dr. Maurice Rawlings, a heart surgeon, and one time devout atheist, did not believe in hell. However, in 1977 he resuscitated a man during surgery who’s heart stopped. Each time he regained heartbeat and respiration, the patient screamed, “I am in hell!” Dr. Rawlings said, “No one, who could have heard his screams and saw the look of terror on his face could doubt for a single minute that he was actually in hell!

John 3:16 says, “God so loved the world, He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes and trusts in Christ’s payment of our sins, will not perish, but have everlasting life.” God does not send anyone to hell. People chose hell when they reject God’s forgiveness.

Steve Johnston Brookings

it is expected and one can ride the waves, accordingly.

Sheriff John Wards letter in sup port of David Barnes (Oct 21) has such misinformation and inaccu racies. Having known and worked with Sheriff Ward for about two years, I have respect for his pro fessional abilities. As such, certain inaccurate details are unexpected and surprising.

Ward: “Mr. Baker worked only a few shorts days”

Baker: Baker worked 7-10 long days.

Ward: “Mr. Baker resigned say ing he was uncomfortable with the position”

Letters to the editor

Mr. Baker …… but must ask, what has changed from the time he was appointed two years ago and left after 3 days?”

Baker: I have been asked by a number of individuals, including Curry County employees, appoin tees and by county voters who have expressed concerns about the current Treasurer. As a write-in can didate and should I be elected, three very important criteria are evident:

1) orientation time, if required, will certainly be more generous;

Councilor Morosky flipped, against the advice of the city attorney. So, Howard is back on the payroll.

REALLY?? That really raises a lot of questions in my mind and every Brookings citizen should be wide awake now and asking some of the same questions along with demanding a full financial audit of Brookings finances, not just the dinky little yearly checkup.

Boice is wrong

It is an absolute shame that Court Boice is not up for reelection this year because his opinions and messages to Curry residents are undeniably appalling. This morn ing, Boice sent out an email to a countless number of people that was, among other things, shocking ly pro-slavery.

In his message, he urges voters to "vote no on all measures 111, 112, 113, and especially 114." Now I am not at all surprised that Boice is against increased healthcare, gun control, and general accountability, but I am completely baffled that he would ask voters to vote no on measure 112.

This measure wants to remove slavery and involuntary servitude as a possible criminal punishment in Oregon. Did you know that that is a thing in our state? "There shall be neither slavery, nor involuntary ser vitude in the state, otherwise than as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly con victed." Section 34 of the Oregon Constitution. And Court Boice specifically wants to leave that in there. It is also heavily implied in his email that this measure is "pro-criminal." How can removing slavery as an option for criminal punishment be pro-criminal?

While everyone is focused on voting on the current ballot, please do not forget that we have sitting politicians that are incompetent, unfit, and need to be replaced as soon as possible.

I, for one, believe we need to have a vote of no confidence for Court Boice. In the meantime, vote Beth Barker-Hidalgo for county commissioner.

Atheists have no moral absolutes

Recently a secularist took exception to my editorial about Christian values and wrote atheists can be just as moral as Christians. However, atheists have no logical basis for moral absolutes. As a

We support Mayor Ron For Brookings mayor, there is only one legitimate candidate: Ron Hedenskog. Mayor Ron has guided the city through another term in office, providing a cornerstone for continuous, stable governance. Mayor Ron’s analytical and human istic approach provides clear-head ed thinking in decision-making, balanced budgets and high-quality service delivery.

Referencing Candice Michel, it’s a sad state of affairs when such an ill-suited candidate believes that they could actually perform the duties of the mayor of the city of Brookings. There’s a pattern that we are acutely aware of as this same person tries to sell skewed misinformation from a radio station (whose board of directors refuses to adopt normal nonprofit best prac tices, journalistic standards or even an organizational code of ethics). You can’t make these things up: we were in a meeting when this can didate screamed, referencing same nonprofit, we don’t need ethics or fundraising!

We believe that Mayor Ron Hedenskog is the only legitimate choice.

Animal not found

To Gerry Stout: Yes I read about the incident up the Chetco. They never found the animal responsible for the deaths of those men.

A professional trapper was hired but he never found the perpetrator. There is a lot info on the internet about that situation that happened. Hope this to be some help to you.

Sheriff Ward endorsement of Barnes - misinformation

As the nation braces for up coming November elections of every kind and position, opinions, misinformation both intentional and erroneous, articles, political ads and speeches abound. If one is new to this arena as a candidate, it can be daunting. To the experienced,

Baker: Not factual: Mr. Baker resigned due to the excessively short exchange of information time frame Ms. Crumley (prior treasur er) desired to invest. As such, Mr. Baker was placed in an unprofes sional position, and Curry County put at risk due to a lack of required technical specifics practiced by the treasurer. Ms. Crumley also indicated she was not available for questions after leaving. The majori ty of Ms. Crumley remaining tenure was spent with Terry Hanscam (original 2020 ballot treasurer). He resigned after 6-7 weeks lacking the necessary skill set. Mr. Baker was afforded only 10 days with no personnel support.

Ward: “Mr. Baker said he felt Barnes would be a better fit for the treasurer position”

Baker: This is patently untrue, and complete fabrication. I would not be running as a write-in candi date if I were to state or consider myself less qualified than the opposing candidate.

Ward: “I have nothing against

2) as a Budget committee member, my association and familiarity with Treasurer’s office provide me with a better professional foothold than before; and 3) voter review, assessment and support based on candidates’ resume of professional abilities, and public behavior and demeanor.

Again, while having a good pro fessional opinion of Sheriff Ward’s abilities and service to Curry County, improper statements and inaccurate details require me to ad dress them and make the responses available to Curry County voters!

The Janell Howard mess

The city of Brookings voted last week to terminate Janell Howard, the city manager, charged with theft, and yes, in control of our city finances. Ouch! But Mayor Ron Hedenskog and Councilor Schreiber wanted to keep Howard employed at the city and then this week the council reversed their decision to terminate Howard when

Schreiber is not running in this election, but Hedenskog and Morosky are. I like Hedenskog, but after this; I will not vote for him. Morosky is also an obvious "no!" Mr. Bond is a "one trick pony." He's angry about the homeless, but being a mayor is about streets, sewers, parks, and social harmony; his anger is not what the job is about. A vote for bond is a vote for even more lawsuits against us.

That leaves Candice Michel the only practical choice for mayor, who will probably do a great job, especially if two other women also get elected - Teresa Lawson and Diana Cooper.

Lawson is an outstanding choice because she has worked as a high level professional accountant - a financial trouble shooter all her career. Cooper understands how to work with state and federal agencies to actually do something positive with the homeless effort. Candice will bring honesty back to city hall.

We have the opportunity to clean up the Janell Howard mess and get the city out of the muddy rut. My vote is for Candice Michel, Teresa Lawson and Diana Cooper.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call or visit this Internet Web site www.ndscorp.com/sales, using the file number assigned to this case 20- 00170-CE-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT*: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 888-264- 4010, or visit this internet website www.ndscorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20- 00170-CE-CA to

find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. *Pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code, the potential rights described herein shall apply only to public auctions taking place on or after January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2025, unless later extended.

councilmembers Brad Alcorn and John McKinney voted no.

Later, when the agenda item came back up for discussion, the Brookings City Attorney Lori Cooper contacted City Manager protem Gary Milliman suggesting that they confer with her in executive session before revisiting any motions made last week.

But Mayor Hedenskog was adamant that the council revisit the motions while remaining in public session.

“We are not doing anything that hasn’t already been in a public meeting or open session. There were two motions that were made and voted on in the last session and all we are doing is reconsidering those motions. There is nothing here to be concealed or considered confidential,” Hedenskog said.

This led to back and forth between the mayor and councilors Alcorn and McKinney.

“Well I have some questions I would like to ask the city attorney – and I can’t do that in an open session,” Alcorn said.

“I would like to ask the city attorney how to proceed. I have some questions and some comments that are personnel-related that I think are not appropriate for an open meeting and fall under the umbrella of an executive session,” he added.

The mayor replied: “Once again we aren’t going to be dealing with an executive session, we are going to be dealing with the two motions that were made in an open session outside of executive session.”

“So you are going against the recommendation of the city attorney?” Councilor McKinney asked Hedenskog.

“I am going with the recommendation that allows us (to do this) with the Brookings Municipal Code,” Hedenskog replied.

By this time the city attorney was on speaker phone.

“I think what you can do is go into executive session right now and we can discuss what the motion might be because frankly last Monday there were some things talked about at a public meeting that for protection of the

Lori Cooper Brookings city attorney

city should not have been discussed in an open meeting – at least not at that point,” Brookings city attorney Lori Cooper advised.

When the city returned from the private executive session, Hedenskog’s motion to reconsider rehiring Janell Howard as an administrative/ grants person in place of her current roll was off the table.

However, councilors Morosky, Hedenskog and Schrieber passed a motion changing the language of a previous motion from “authorizing” the city attorney to initiate conversation about a separation agreement with city manager Janell Howard to “not authorize” the city attorney to initiate conversation about a separation agreement, “at this time.”

Councilor Alcorn made a comment that was seconded by councilor McKinney before they voted no on the new motion.

“I want to make a comment that we should follow the advice of the person we just had a conversation with.

I would caution the council to go against the city lawyer’s advice,” Alcorn said.

The 3-2 vote appears to take the City of Brookings back to square one regarding the status of Howard as city manager.

She remains on paid administrative leave with the City of Brookings.

Beacon Broadband hires Bill Gerski

As Beacon Broadband, Inc. ramps up the construction and deployment of its fiber-to-thehome network, the Beacon Broadband Board of Directors is pleased to welcome Bill Gerski to lead sales and marketing efforts for the organization.

Effective October 15, Gerski will serve as Vice President of Marketing and Sales reporting directly to Paul Recanzone, General Manager of Beacon Broadband.

Before joining Beacon Broadband Inc., Gerski spent the last four years of his career serving the rural areas of north-central Pennsylvania as Senior Vice President of Business Development for Tri-Co Connections, a sub-

sidiary of Tri-County Rural Electric Cooperative.

Gerski brings over four decades of dynamic experience in the broadband and telecommunication industry to Beacon Broadband. He has high-level executive marketing and sales experience at Time Warner, Viacom, Adelphia, Bell Atlantic, Huawei Technologies, Dish Network, Sirius Satellite Radio, CHR Solutions, and National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative, among others.

“I am delighted to join Beacon Broadband and lead the way to closing the digital divide for over 14,000 residents and commercial establishments on the southern coast of Oregon,” says

Gerski, “I look forward to getting out in the community and sharing the high-speed fiber broadband experience with community members and businesses alike.”

One of Gerski’s proudest accomplishments was the innovative public-private community program he created, the FCC award winning Senior2Senior, where active agers are taught internet basics by techsavvy high school senior volunteers. Gerski believes the Senior2Senior program not only equips active agers with the tools they need to be successful in the 21st century but aids in closing the digital divide in rural areas where access is limited.

“Bill is the right leader, adding new strength to the team as we drive this project forward,” says Recanzone. “He has extraordinary experience that, added to the incredible team we already have, uniquely positions Beacon Broadband to bring the high-speed fiber experience where no one else will go.”

Halloween sidewalk parade debuts this weekend

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN

The Pilot

Brookings community members are invited to participate in a brand-new Halloween sidewalk parade.

The Halloween sidewalk parade is a community-sponsored event which grew out of the desire for young people (and those young at heart) to have a way to safely and publicly celebrate the holiday. Everyone is encouraged to come in costume and well-behaved dogs are welcome to take part.

Parade organizer Ashley McGehee said she hopes to make this event into a Brookings tradition.

"I'm looking forward to seeing everyone coming out as a community to celebrate and show us their spirit and creativity," she said.

The parade will take place on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 3 p.m. starting at Chetco Ave and Oak Street – next to Celito Lindo. Participants will head north to Center Street and cross to the other side before returning to Oak Street. The parade will be held rain or shine.

Parade organizers are requesting that no one step into the street. They will have volunteers at the cross walk to make sure everyone walks across safely, although organizers still request that children under 12 be accompanied by an adult.

The first 150 people to show up ready for the parade will get a goodie bag. A variety of businesses will also be handing out candy and other treats along the route.

McGeehee said she’s excited to keep the tradition of Halloween alive on the South Coast.

"Halloween has always been an important holiday to me. It's been celebrated across many cultures and for thousands of years. It's where we, as humans look winter in the eyes and say ‘We are not

Tax statements have been mailed

Curry County Assessor and Tax Collector, Jim Ko len, reports that his office has prepared the 2022-23 tax roll and property tax statements will be mailed to property owners.

First trimester property tax payments are due no later than Tuesday, November 15. Tax payments may be made by mail or in person at the Assessor/Tax Collector’s office in the Curry Office An nex Building in Gold Beach. Other payment options in clude payments by telephone or online payments. The tax office will be open for payments 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday – Friday.

“Most property owners will see a three percent overall increase in their Maximum Assessed Value (MAV),” explained Assessor Jim Kolen. “However, Ore gon law dictates that property owners will pay property tax on their MAV or their Real Market Value (RMV) whichever is less,” he added. Kolen reminds owners that the 3% limitation in the Oregon Constitution is on the Maximum Assessed Value of a property not the amount of

property taxes. The RMV noted on the tax statement is the assessor’s estimate of what proper ty would have sold for on January 1, and is based upon sales that occurred primarily in 2021.

Real Market Values are increasing throughout most of the county. This year the Median RMV of single-fam ily homes countywide is $400,750 as compared to last year’s median value of $329,150. The 2022-23 median home values by city are $281,620 in Port Orford, $359,420 in Gold Beach and $432,350 in Brookings. The total RMV of the entire coun ty reached approximately 5.86 billion dollars this year as compared to $4.76 billion in 2021-22.

Taxing districts in Curry County have levied almost $30.94 million in proper ty taxes for 2022-23. The county assesses, collects and distributes the property tax for the districts and receives approximately $2.1 million or 6.9% of the total collected. Of the rest of the total levied property tax approximately 55% goes to Schools, 15%

to Cities, 5.6% Libraries, 5% Health District and the rest is for Rural Fire Protection, Ports, Cemeteries etc.

Property owners are en couraged to review their tax statements carefully and if they have questions or have not received their tax state ment by November 1st, call Kolen’s office at (541)2473305 or (866)298-0307. Valuation questions should be directed to (541)247-3294 or 800-242-7601.

Kolen’s office continues to contract with Jackson County to process mailed payments at a cost savings to Curry. This is why the return envelope mailed with the tax statement has a Medford, Oregon return address.

Property owners making payments by credit card will call the telephone tax payment service at 844-3995263 and must include their property’s account number which is shown on the upper right-hand corner of the tax statement. The account number begins with a letter (R, M, P, U) followed by five digits. Please enter only the five digits when following the pay by phone option.
