Dam removal project presented to Brookings officials

By BREEANA LAUGHLIN

The Pilot

Two dam safety and project engineers attended a Brookings City Council workshop to discuss the Ferry Creek Dam located on city land.

The engineers urged Brookings council members and staff to con sider removing the dam, which is classified as a high hazard dam due to the potential hazard to people and property downstream of the

structure.

A letter sent to Tony Baron, Brookings Public Works and Devel opmental Services Director, in June outlines an inspection of the dam from the Oregon Water Resources Department. In the document, the dam’s spillway, conduit and em bankment are listed as deficient.

Keith Mills, a dam safety engineer with the Oregon Water Resources Department states; “This dam has major dam safety issues and is in unsatisfactory condition.

Please continue work to address the major dam safety issues.”

The Ferry Creek Dam is located on a tributary of the Chetco River. The “earthen structure” is 45-feettall and holds a reservoir that has not been used in 30 years. The dam was designated as high hazard in 2015.

Engineer Mills and Scott Wright of the River Design Group gave a presentation to council members and members of the city staff based on their field work and studies of

the Ferry Creek Dam on Monday, Oct. 3.

River Design Group developed a dam removal plan, cost estimate and background documents for the council. They said the dam removal would use standard construction techniques and equipment that have been used routinely for similar projects.

“It’s a pretty straightforward project,” Wright said. “If you said you wanted to remove it next sum mer there is a possibility that could

happen – but it could take longer to secure funding than to complete the project itself.”

A previous study of the dam was developed by Dyer feasibility in 2018. The 271-page document explores five options. The options were no action, complete dam removal, realignment of ferry creek dam and a relocation of the spillway, and removing the dam and building a concrete dam in its place.

Wright, Rust face off in debate

By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Pilot

The two candidates vying for a seat in the Oregon House of Representatives faced off in a debate Monday, with Jerry Rust and Boomer Wright discussing a variety of topics important to the coastal district.

The mostly-friendly contest had a few moments of true debate, where the men shared different views on abortion and Measure 113, which would allow the Legislature to punish lawmakers who walk out of session to stop bills from being enacted.

The debate was hosted by the League of Women Voters in Lane and Coos counties as well as librar ies in both counties. Judge Richard Brissenden served as moderator.

In opening comments, the two men shared why they should be elected to serve the district.

Coos, Curry counties prepare for worst-case disaster scenario

By BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

Coos and Curry County emergen cy managers teamed up to prepare for a worst-case natural disaster situation. Together, they completed a series of exercises designed to respond to an earthquake and tsu nami caused from a rupture in the Cascadia Subduction Zone.

The series of exercises started

at the beginning of summer. Now, the emergency coordinators are strengthening their training efforts, solidifying management roles and educating themselves about incident command systems.

They also want to get the word out to the public to be prepared in the event of an emergency situation.

“Part of our job from the emer gency management side is educat ing our community and making sure

it is clear for residents – and visitors to our area – that this is something they should be thinking about,” said Coos County Emergency Coordina tor Debbie Mueller.

While natural disasters and other potential hazards are not something people necessarily enjoy thinking about, emergency preparedness is an important aspect of living on the coast.

“I think being in rural communi

ties, our message to the public is it’s very important to prepare as best you can, and take self-action, be cause it’s going to be awhile before others are going to be able to get to us and help us,” Mueller said.

Curry County Emergency Coor dinator Monica Ward encourages community members to prepare what they can for supplies.

Brookings candy shop owners expand

Just a few short years since tak ing over the Whale's Tail Candy & Gifts at the Brookings Harbor, Amy and Andy Sale are opening another shop in Crescent City.

The business owners are bringing their handmade fudge and choco lates, saltwater taffy, ice cream and more to their new location between Safeway and the movie theater in Crescent City.

The couple says they are bring ing a much needed niche to the community.

“We saw the success we were having in Brookings and we wanted to extend it to a new community that didn’t have a lot of the products that we offer. So we started looking around,” said Amy Sale. “We decided this would be the best place to start.”

Whale’s Tail Candy and Gifts in Crescent City features all of the goodies available at the Brookings store, and a little more.

“It’s a little bit bigger store so we have more flavors of taffy - which puts us up to about 45 flavors of taffy,” Amy said.

A new chocolate and fudge case is also set to arrive soon – so they

Rust, a Democrat who served 20 years as a Lane County commis sioner and has a strong business background, said he is prepared to serve in the Legislature.

"I think these life experiences have prepared me for this chal lenge," Rust said. "Today, I'm asking you to hire me. If you're a voter in the 9th District, I want to be your employee. People are tired of squabbling and intra-party fight ing. They want to get things done. They want people to work together. There's a tremendous pent up desire to do something. Specifically, they want more housing, more afford able housing. I have a plan to get that done.

Wright, the incumbent Repub lican, said he has accomplished a lot during his one term. He said he brought $16 million to the Port of Coos Bay along with funding in North Bend, Reedsport and much more.

"My focus is always on family, faith and freedom," Wright said. "We've done a lot together and have been very successful. We advocate for a limited government. We be lieve all children deserve access to a quality education. Parental rights don't end at the school house door. We believe families and individuals have the sole responsibility and right to make their own healthcare decisions. All law abiding residents have the right to keep and bear arms."

In questioning, the men outlined their priorities if elected to the Leg islature. For Rust, those priorities would be seniors, veterans, children and women's healthcare.

"Those are just generally across the board," Rust said. "I think older people haver worked all their lives. We need to keep seniors in their home. Veterans have paid a price. I think veterans deserve our support, I think women should be able to make their own decisions about their own healthcare choices and

While much of their work is done behind the scenes, Curry County Emergency Coordinator Monica Ward, Coos County emergency coordinator Deb bie Mueller, along with Coos County Emergency Manager Don (Chip) Delyria want the public to know they are doing their best to prepare county staff, emergency responders and other community stakeholders to respond effectively in an emergency situation such as a tsunami or earthquake.

Amy and Andy Sale bought Whale's Tail Candy & Gifts in Brookings in June 2020. They recently opened an other location in the Crescent City.

Candy

will also be selling more varieties of these handmade goodies.

“There’s nowhere else that does chocolates and fudge in Crescent City and it’s a coastal town – so we thought it would be great for the community,” Andy said.

The business owners make their own chocolate with a large tempering machine that can hold 17 pounds of choc olate. They also hand make their fudge a single batch at a time.

“There are other places that use a mix and add flavor ing to it. But for us we make each individual fudge – and it tastes phenomenal,” Andy said.

Another reason the busi ness owners think Whales Tail Candy and Gifts has been so successful is the variety of nostalgic candies that they bring in – from Zots and Astro Pops to candy cigarettes and Abba Zabbas –“things you can’t really find at the store anymore,” Andy said.

The retro “old-school” candies are enjoyable for everyone.

“It doesn’t matter how young or old you are – it’s a fun experience,” Amy said.

Whales Tail Candy and Gifts also offers locally-made gift items from a variety of artisans at both of their locations.

The new Whale's Tail Can dy & Gifts is located at 391 M Street Crescent City, CA 95531. The phone num ber is (707) 460-1747.

The Brookings location is at 16350 Lower Harbor Rd. Suite 204.

They can be reached at (541) 469-5750.

Both stores are open 7 days a week 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Street work begins in Brookings

Mill Beach Road between Chetco Avenue and the Mill Beach entrance to the Fred Meyer parking lot were closed Monday for a resur facing project. That was the first road improvement project in Brookings.

Other streets scheduled for resurfacing in the coming days include Cottage Street and Marine Drive. A city wide road patching project will also begin next week.

“All of these projects are funded from the proceeds of the city’s four-cent fuel tax,” said City Manager Pro Tem Gary Milliman. “Resurfac ing on Memory Lane and

from $2.9 million and $16 million.

At that time Dyer recom mended realigning and ex panding the ferry creek dam and relocating its’ spillway so that it could be used as a po tential back up water source and provide fish habitat along Ferry Creek. The cost of that project was about $8.8 million. But according to a report, Brookings staff decid ed to take no action. Because of the cost of the project they reportedly wanted to wait until federal funding could assist in the project.

The current plan by River Design Group proposes removing the dam. Other options include revisiting the Dyer dam realignment plan or no action. River Design Group engineer Mills said the company could complete the dam removal project for significantly less cost than Dyer’s dam removal proposal because they would keep the materials they remove on site by filling in four different areas with the material they take out.

Engineer Wright said dam removal projects of this scope are not uncommon and other cities along the coast have undertaken projects such as this one.

“Several cities have similar problems with dams that were built but are no longer

Alder Street are scheduled before the end of the year, but is pending the completion of some underground utility repairs.”

“We recently received some questions about how the city is using fuel tax revenues,” Milliman said.

“Money collected from the local fuel tax can only be used for street and sidewalk improvements within the city.

None of the funding is being used to pave park parking lots or for other purposes.

The Azalea Park parking lot resurfacing project is includ ed in the same contract with the street resurfacing, but is

being utilized,” he said.

The engineer said the removal of Skookum dam in Tillamook is a very good example of what the Ferry Creek dam removal project would look like. Only a year after this project was com plete, vegetation had returned to the site and a fish passage was opened up almost imme diately.

“In the Ferry Creek reservoir we would expect a similar response. We would see a revegetated area that was more stable,” he said.

River Design Group put to gether a cost estimate of $1.2 million for the project based on their recent inspection of the area to complete the proj ect with a 35 percent contin gency “which is high because of the economic times we are in today with things fluctuat ing quite drastically.”

“We did a very solid sur vey of what needs to be done on the site,” Wright said. “We have a very good understand ing of what needs to be done including the construction techniques and leaving mate rial on site.”

Dam engineer Mills reported that FEMA has an infrastructure bill which includes a significant amount of money focused on dam removals and there is also the potential of securing grant funding for the project.

The engineers reported that dam removal would actually cost less than trying to main tain the dam.

Reauthorization of the lo cal fuel tax will appear on the November 8 general election ballot. Questions about the fuel tax and its uses can be directed to Milliman at (541) 469-1101 or by email at gmilliman@brookings.or.us.

The city fuel tax currently generates about $330,000 annually. The ballot measure to reauthorize the tax also proposes to increase the tax rate from four to five cents per gallon.

“Based upon this year’s collections, the tax generates about $82,000 for each penny of tax,” Milliman said.

long time, there is lots of money available for dam removal. There is very little money available for dam maintenance,” Wright said.

“I would estimate that the city would have no out of pocket expenses other than your staff time,” he said. “The cost to the city would be minimal.”

After the presentation the engineers fielded questions from council members.

Brookings Mayor Ron Hedenskog said he was vaguely familiar with the project from the 2018 discus sion.

“Cost was a factor. But we also thought that during a drought period it could be utilized.” he said. “From my recollection the information was not thorough enough to come to a decision.”

Councilmember Ed Sh reiber asked about the “high hazard” classification of the dam and if it was because there was houses below the dam.

There are reportedly at least two houses situated around the Ferry Creek channel.

“Right now is it consider safe?” Shreiber asked Mills said that it is poten tially unsafe.

“In a major extreme event, we would expect to have issues that could lead to fail ure – but in its normal state without an extreme event it should be okay.”

Shreiber said, “I don’t want the city to be responsible if something catastrophic happens.”

Mills replied “The city is going to be responsible if they don’t anything. So I would want to reduce my risk of uncertainty and respon sibility. You either have to maintain it or take it out –that’s really what you are up against.”

There is more funding available for dam removal currently than there has been in the past, Mills pointed out.

“It’s a good time to take that opportunity and do some thing with the money that’s out there,” he said.

Mayor Hedenskog reported he had an idea of the direction he would like to go, but that he would like to “cook on it” and make a decision at the next council workshop.

I believe my opponent does not believe that."

Wright listed his top prior ities as crime, healthcare and education

"We have defunded the police, and we need to return funding to that and to our court systems," Wright said. "Homelessnesses is the other one and I'm working with groups down in Coos Bay to come up with a plan. Edu cation, I served in education over 31 years. We're not serving out students right now. In fact, we're failing our students. Parents need choice."

When education was discussed, the two men dis agreed on whether the state is failing our children.

"Let's not be too hard on ourselves," Rust said. "I hear everybody say our kids aren't getting an education. That's not true. Yeah, there are chal lenges. We lost two and half years to COVID. What I want is the basics, reading, writing mathematics. I do think we could include some voca tional training in our schools. There needs to be some skill building at the high school level. I reject the idea that we're failing."

Wright saw things a little differently.

"Serving on the state ed ucation and early childhood education committees, I view the real problem is we've asked our teachers to be all things to all students at all times," he said. "We've asked our teachers to do too much. Many of our students are failing, but more important, we're failing our students.

"We must return to a community direction. It does take an entire community to support the education of our students. Each community is well aware of what the needs are for workforce and reten tion of our youth."

Both men said they would be interested in an indepen dent redistricting committee taking on the challenge of

drawing the state's legislative districts.

"Absolutely," Wright said. "It's we the people who should determine where the districts are, not a group of people in Salem and the ger rymandering that happened this last session. It should not be political gerrymandering. It should be to represent the people. To be honest, the Legislature failed us."

"This is a national problem and it's a disgrace the way we have drawn districts through out the country and in some states much worse than here," Rust said. "I would like to take a look at an independent commission. I'm against the gerrymandering. Let's make it nonpartisan. Let's do things right that the people can accept."

Another topic discussed was the decline of coastal fisheries, which has had a big economic and social impact on District 9.

"It's very complex issues, and I know we have ocean conditions that are the result of very complex factors," Rust said. "It starts at the headwaters, where we have taken out fish runs and we haven't put the spawning beds back in good shape. One of the things I want to do is make sure to continue re moving these culverts. We've done the easy ones. There's got to be room for some fish hatchery work. I would work with Tribes, our local watershed council. I want to support all those groups."

"Our salmon fisheries are definitely in decline," Wright said. "We need abundance through hatcheries, not an ODF commission that does not support abundance. We do not need another spotted owl fiasco. We on the coast are still recovering from this environmental injustice and insanity.

"Fortunately, working with the Coquille Tribe, we're working with the ODF to bring back our salmon runs. We need a new direction."

The partisan divide in Salem and the state was also addressed.

"The key is we've got to learn to listen to one an other," Wright said. "What happens is we listen, but we don't hear. We don't sit down and communicate. When we don't do that and we don't listen to one another, we have things like what is happening in Portland right now with the crime and violence. We are not listening. We need to listen to one another."

"This is something I've heard everywhere I've gone in the district," Rust said. "People are sick of the bickering. As Lane County commissioner, everything I got done, I did that with Democrats, Republicans and Independents. I'm not one for rancorous name calling and blaming state agencies and blaming other people in government. In general, we need to bring the temperature down, sit together, reason together and come together as a state."

Whether that means one party can walk out to stop legislation is something the men disagreed on. When discussing Measure 13, the differences were clear.

"Of course, I'm going to vote for it and I do think there should be punishment,"

Rust said. "If you get elected to go to Salem and to vote, you're taking care of the most vital interests of people. I think ordinary people, if they don't show up for work, they don't get paid. If they do it again, they eventually lose their job."

"There's something to be said about believing you have the right to protest," Wright said. "At some times, because you have a super majority, they don't leave you choice. They are ramming down their liberal agenda on people and they don't leave you a choice but to walk away. We have a right to protest majority rule legislation when it is not in the interest of our district. We're not in grade school, Jerry, we're adults."

Another area the men agreed on was lowering the cost of attending college in Oregon.

"In general, I support lowering tuition," Rust said. "I look back at my own college education and it was so inexpensive. Let's bring it down for in-state students. We might even want to have a means test. Some students can afford it more than oth ers. I also support expanding the offering in community

colleges. I'd look at the whole gamut."

"I agree we've got to lower the price of education," Wright said. "I don't believe it can ever be absolutely free, and that's too bad. I believe we're not utilizing our community colleges as much as we should. They're much more affordable, especially

in rural districts. I believe we need to reduce tuitions."

Voters in District 9, which includes parts of Coos, Doug las and Lane counties will choose their representative in the November election.

The district is considered a toss-up district, which has elected Republicans and Democrats in recent years.

Opinion

LeTTers To The ediTor

Are you better off?

Is anyone in your family better off today than they were 20 months ago?

Biden’s war on American energy has spiked gas prices from $2 to $6 per gallon. The energy spike is the underlying cause for inflation’s rise from 1.5% to 8.5%. Draining our SPR and buying dirty oil from Ven ezuela and Iran is beyond stupid.

With Biden’s ridiculous spend ing and student loan forgiveness our debt is headed for $35 trillion. When will the debt bubble burst?

In 2020, a total of 40,000 illegal immigrants were detained with the majority being sent back to Mexico or their country of origin. In 20 months, the Biden Administration has encouraged 3 million migrants from all over the world to enter illegally.

The 2 million that walk in are given cell phones, bus, train or plane tickets to anywhere in America to await their court date. No title 42, no wait in Mexico and no deportations. Biden’s Democrat and media coordinated invasion is destroying our country.

As for the 1 million ‘got-aways’, who knows who they are or where they are or what they’re planning.

Biden’s open border is not only killing migrants but allowing Chi nese fentanyl to flood our streets and poison 100,000 Americans per year.

As for crime, insane no bail laws and brain-dead DAs are destroying our iconic cities. Just wait until the migrants can’t find work and the aid runs out.

Biden’s speech in PA was openly extreme; divisive, hateful and full of violent rhetoric. His policies are turning America into a third world country where Socialism saps our strength and thugs run our cities. His destructive agenda must be stopped.

The upcoming elections provide an opportunity for a course cor rection. Forget Party, it’s time to acknowledge the obvious and vote for a more prosperous and secure America.

Ms. Flowers letter says/is char acterized that sometimes she will write about such incidents with emotion rather than critical thinking and the facts.

Talking strictly the abortion issue, pro-life activists working along with, generally, conservative political activists, want smaller government.

Yet, anti-abortion rule making, such as the Supreme Court Dobbs vs Jackson case increases the need for larger state & Federal enforce ment related agencies. Which is it? Make up your mind!

it should be proposed that any state who forces a woman/couple to give birth against their need/wishes/ desire under any situation, that state should bear the cost of raising the child from birth, including educa tion, and to and through retirement.

As a non-practicing, social sci entist, I have to state that removing the right of conception/viability period/birth from the individual to the state is inherently unacceptable. Since this difference in opinion will stay with us for a long time, so shall we be addressing it, socially and legally.

Why is this allowed?

I would like to know why Port land has bussed in homeless people to our town. This is not our load to carry, nor is it any other city's responsibility.

It is my time to move on

Just over 30 years ago, I was sitting in a hotel room in Sierra Vista, Az., having spent almost every peony I had to rent the room for a month, when I had a knock on the door.

I ended up in Sierra Vista after a particularly trying time in my life. I had recently left college, gone through some turmoil and drive to what I considered my hometown with almost nothing. All I had were good friends and hope. And then came the knock on the door.

I had only been in town one night and very few people knew where I was, but when I opened the door a friend from high school was standing there with a copy of the Sierra Vista Herald. Maria knew I had written a lot in high school and had studied journalism in college, so when she saw a help wanted ad for a sports reporter for the Herald, she went out of her way to find me.

That feeling has been matched over and over and over for the last 30 years.

During my time in community newspapers in Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, North Dakota and Oregon, I have been disappoint ed time after time as I watched talented reporters and editors leave the industry for other opportunities. Most recently, Jerry Burnes, who I hired as a reporter in Williston, N.D., and who went on to become an editor of a group of papers in Minnesota left the newspaper world to work as a spokesperson for an electric company.

I was happy for him and sad for the industry I have grown to love.

Make up your mind

Ms. Flowers opinion writes about two important issues: 1) Mark Houck arrest by FBI; and 2) pro-life vs abortion activities. As such, there is a need to make several points and clarify several inaccuracies in Ms. Flowers letter: FBI team arrested Mr. Houck without incident, and Mr. Houck peacefully surrendered to agents.

According to the Attorney Gen eral, Eastern District of Pennsylva nia case announcement, Mr. Houck is accused of not one incident of knocking down (forcefully shoved) an abortion “volunteer” but twice.

This case does show that there is evidence that Mr. Houck blocked the entrance of the Planned Parent hood health center. According the International Business Times article (26 Sept 22), a health care worker indicated that 72 volunteer was injured!

DOJ is not a “politicized” arm the Biden administration, as Ms. Flowers stated. The Biden admin istration consistent with Attorney General Garland stated working policy reflects the firewall-protected activity for each!

Question: Did Ms. Flowers write about the politicization of DOJ during Trump administration, when it mattered?

Comment: “a village of storm troopers to arrest one pro-life dad.” Really and is it factual?

Biden has not put Pro-Life ac tivist targets on your T-shirts – you envisioned them there yourselves!

Concerning Mr. Houck’s arrest, and details supporting are about as varied as one can get. Conservative news agencies such Breitbart, Fox, NewsMax and the Catholic News Agency have painted a more sinis

No innuendos or satire this time. Just straightforward words relating to Mr. Boice. I am a very proud, very honorably discharged, very service connected, 100% perma nent and totally disabled veteran due to mental illness. It absolutely disgusts me to know that if not for the unconditional support of my wife and family, along with the incredible care and kindness I am provided by our local VA clinic workers, I would no doubt find myself amongst our homeless brethren...waiting in line for you to provide me a bus ticket out of here. How dare you!

I have suffered with mental ill ness for decades; it is THE toughest battle I've ever fought. Living with it has provided me some insight that others may not possess. Have any of you ever desired a specific model automobile in a favorite col or? Working hard and saving until you finally make your purchase?

Let's say it's a shiny red Mustang. And as soon as you drive it off the lot, you begin to notice every other red Mustang on the roads you're driving?

Being mentally ill is similar in some small way. Living with it makes it much easier for me to see it in others around me.

Do you own a dictionary Mr. Boice? I do.

My Mirriam-Webster dictio nary defines megalomania as: "a delusional mental illness that is marked by feelings of personal omnipotence and grandeur." I am not a doctor, and I am not qualified to make such a diagnosis, but I am an American and I am guaranteed my right to express my opinion. That opinion is I believe it best for all in Curry County if you took it upon yourself to reserve a seat on that bus to Salem.

Stop embarrassing us and your self! Stop bullying.

Have a nice day.

Steven Plaxco Brookings

That day, I went to the Sierra Vista Herald office, filled out a paper application and interviewed with the sports editor.

The next day day I was a sports reporter, starting a journey that has taken me halfway around the country, allowed me to see things I never imagined and meet people I never dreamed of.

As a side note, two days after Maria knocked on my door, my best friend came over with his girl friend and her sister. That sister has now been my wife for 27 years. So if you are down or struggling, you never know how much things can change in just a few days.

As a sports reporter, I felt like I

Now it's my turn. One week from today, I will work my last day as a full-time editor for The World, the Curry Pilot and the Del Norte Trip licate. I wasn't looking to leave, but I kind of stumbled into an opportu nity that I am equally as passionate about and one I felt was too good to pass up.

But don't worry, I won't be going far and I will continue to have a presence in these newspapers. But for the first time in three decades, it won't be as a full-time employee.

As I leave the newspaper industry, I do so with gratitude and a continued love for commu nity news. Over my career, I have watched as small-town papers have lost the influence and impact they once had. Many are struggling to

LeTTers To The ediTor

Despite the challenges, I contin ue to believe firmly in what news papers like this one stand for and I firmly believe they may be more valuable than they ever have been.

At a time in our world, where "truth" is determined by what politician said something, have an impartial venue to look for informa tion has never been more valuable. Do we mess up? Sure. We do, I do, we all do. But we try very hard to present news that is fair, that is accurate and that our readers can trust. That alone sets most commu nity papers apart.

As I prepare to leave The World, the Pilot and the Triplicate as a fulltime employee, I remain committed to local news and to the hard-work ing reporters, editors and friends I have made throughout the country.

Rent control hurts our community

The Oregon rent control regula tions affect our entire community. The major impact directly on the renters is that their monthly dis cretionary funds are being greatly reduced or eliminated. This means they have to cut back on spend ing that benefits local merchants - reduce or eliminate going out to eat, going to the movies, shopping in locally owned shops, etc. Also donations to local charities are reduced.

Even if we have to cut back at Fred Meyers or other national chain stores in our area, we are jeopardiz ing the jobs of local residents.

The money instead goes to out of state owners or financial funds that buy and sell property investments. The rich get richer and we may no longer be able to afford living in our own homes.

I can only speak on what’s hap pening to manufactured home parks as I live in one in Harbor. When I moved in in 2018, yearly rent would go up a modest $10 to $15 a month. I thought, “well at least this is offset by the monthly raise of my social security.” But starting in

2021, our monthly raises increased to $40 to $45. I began to question if I could afford to live in my own home. This was also when locally and nationwide, home prices began to skyrocket. If I sold my manu factured home, I couldn’t afford to rebuy in our community. I found that other residents here had gone through the same thought process. This park has traded hands three time in the last few years.

So unlike rent control of old, this rent control benefits the owners, not the renters. The owners moved from reasonable rent increases to “wow, I can raise the rent this highand it’s legal!”

We have many people in our area that enjoy living in reasonably priced manufactured homes, mostly in manufactured home parks that charge a monthly space rental.

Unfortunately, there is a growing nationwide trend of these parks being bought and sold - aided by favorable funding available. Our homes have become a commodity in a hot market.

Supposedly, the Oregon rent con trol regulations were modeled on the existing rent control in places like New York City and Newark, NJ. But those places had set a base

rent of 2% to 4% plus the consumer price index. So why did Oregon set a base of a whopping 7%? Even California has a lower base of 5%, with a maximum of an additional 5% based on local cost of living. In 2023 our rents can be raised 14.6%!

Maybe as written, the law some what helps the renters who live in high priced Portland properties, but I wonder if they took into consid eration the impact on lower income renters? You’re probably wondering if local rent control can be enacted. Yes, but only temporarily in times of emergency, like natural disasters. The Oregon rent control needs to be corrected and the sooner the better.

These absentee owners are squeezing us dry directly affecting our quality of life in our beloved community.

I thank Donald Hofstad for his letter to the editor printed on 9/23. Donald, surely we expect that once raised, our rents won’t go back down. I will join you in writing our elected officials. We enjoy living in a community friendly to retirees. It is becoming less friendly...

Project Description: The Forest Service (USFS) has inquired about the possibility of acquiring the Bar-O Ranch property from Del Norte County in order to establish a more permanent base for USFS personnel to augment wildfire mitigation and suppression capacity on the Gasquet Ranger District.

The County desires to utilize $30,000 of its County Title III funds for this technical assistance related to development of planning materials with the objective of increasing the protection of people and property from wildfires.

A copy of the project(s) proposal is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors at 981 H Street Suite 200, Crescent City, CA 95531, telephone number 707-464-7204.

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 833- 561-0243 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site WWW. SALES.BDFGROUP.C- OM for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case 00000009496225. 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 833-561- 0243, or visit this internet website WWW.SALES. BDFGROUP.C- OM using the file number assigned to this case 00000009496225 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.

A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed by Alyssa Arian in the Superior Court of California, County of DEL NORTE.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Alyssa Arian be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant

Disaster

“We would love to see people have four-weeks worth of resources and supplies – but at the same time we understand, especial ly in today’s economy, it’s difficult.

The “Are you ready?” guide book available to the public outlines emergen cy preparedness plans. It includes a 20-week calendar to buy emergency supplies incrementally over time, Ward said.

The emergency coordina tors also encourage residents and visitors to be aware of their surroundings.

“We all live on the coast, so we should all look at the tsunami inundation zone maps,” Ward said. “If you live in the tsunami inunda tion zone or work within it, be aware of where the assem bly zones are and what your evacuation route would be so you aren’t trying to figure it out after an earthquake.”

“The other part is looking at, ‘Where do you travel within your day?’” Mueller added. “If you go to another town to go shopping, have you looked at that town to see where you would need to go?”

Ward said there is a tsuna mi app available that outlines what tsunami zones look like and where the assembly areas are located. The app can also alert users if a large earthquake overseas poses a tsunami threat.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

disasters can be scary or unpleasant to think about. But taking the time to do this can increase your odds of survival.

“You don’t have to be afraid of something if you have stopped and thought about it and paid attention to how you might respond,” Mueller said.

While much of their work is done behind the scenes, Curry County Emergency Coordinator Ward, Coos County emergency coordi nator Mueller, along with Coos Emergency Manager Don (Chip) Delyria want the public to know they are doing their best to prepare county staff, emergency re sponders and other commu nity stakeholders to respond effectively in an emergency situation such as a tsunami or earthquake.

It is not a small task.

Ward said she wanted to focus on reestablishing ports in the event of a tsunami to in order receive emergency supplies, while Mueller said her focus has been on staffing positions and establishing what trainings are needed.

Ward said the emergency exercises she took part in earlier this year was the first time Curry County came together to discuss what the different county roles would be.

“When you have an emer gency the first thing you do is set up an incident command post,” she said. “They are your first responders who are down on the scene tactically responding to the emergen cy itself. The Emergency Operations Center is your county-level strategic support

The emergency coordi nators said all the different agencies involved in the response need to be able to speak a common language so there exists an inter-operabil ity between everyone coming to the response.

“In Curry County our EOC is made up our sheriff’s department, our road depart ment and our fire department. They all speak different ‘languages’ but the Nation al Incident Management System (NIMS) and Incident Command System (ICS) require them to understand and use the same terms,” Ward said.

Coos County emergency coordinator Mueller said there are maps available to help guide managers as to what areas would be the most affected by an earthquake and tsunami on the South Coast.

“They can help us in plan ning for if we are trying to shelter people or get food to them,” she said.

A major earthquake and tsunami would likely create “islands.” These pockets of land and populations would be cut off from external resources.

“It’s not going to be easy to get from one island to the next,” Mueller said.

The emergency coordina tor tasked her team look at each island and decide where to put resource caches.

(This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: October 14, 2022 Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate,

“Being on a coastal com munity we should all know,” Mueller said. “It was eye opening to them.”

The Coos and Curry County emergency manage ment coordinators said they are planning to collaborate as partners for additional emer gency exercises being held in June, 2023.

They said the partnership has been beneficial to pool resources, learn about what each community has to offer in terms of strengths and weaknesses and how they can help each other.

It can also be beneficial in applying for grant funding, they said.

“We also lean on each other and provide coverage for each other because we are two small counties. We bring different perspectives so we keep each other from getting tunnel vision and can provide advice and feedback to each other as well,” Ward said.

A lot of the work of emer gency managers tasks require behind the scenes planning and preparation.

“Even with the exercises we are doing now the public didn’t get to see much, but they should know that we are doing our best to identify our capabilities and our gaps and to correct any weaknesses throughout our counties,” Ward said.

you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

Women's March set Saturday in Brookings, Port Orford

Citizens of Brookings and Crescent City are once again gathering to march for wom en's rights and concerns.

On Oct 8 at noon, the march will begin. The event is non-partisan with Re publicans, Democrats and Independents expected to participate.

The official start this year will be at the Democratic headquarters, at 619 Chet co Ave, (Highway 101) in Brookings.

Sign making will begin at 10 a.m. A kickoff event is scheduled for 11 AM.

This march is part of the national Women's March as marches are expected to oc cur nationwide. Port Orford, will be hosting their own march also on October 8, at

11 a.m. at Battle Rock Park in Port Orford.

The Women's March in Brookings began in 2017 when an estimated 275 people in Brookings and another 200 in Port Orford took to the streets in support of women’s, civil, religious, environmental and other rights.

The local marches coincid ed with the main march on the National Mall in Wash ington D.C., where at least 500,000 people attended.

Some may see these marches as protest but they are being promoted as a true American act of de mocracy by giving voice to what issues are important in America, Curry County and Del Norte County.

Sasquatch program coming to Chetco Library on Oct. 8

The ‘Sasquatch & the Wild Rivers Coast’ presentation at 3 p.m. October 8 will explore the history and folklore of Sasquatch in Curry and Del Norte counties. The program will be held at the Chetco Community Public Library.

Representing the greatest zoological mystery of our time, Sasquatch’s history is indelibly intertwined with our region. Proving the existence of this elusive

creature continues to be an immense challenge for both modern science and amateur researchers alike.

Professor Tremonti will examine some of the best evidence available including sighting reports, track casts, and film/video clips — and address hoaxing, misidentifi cations, and the influence of pop culture. The lecture will conclude with an analysis of new tools & technologies be

ing deployed in the hunt for this rare and elusive creature.

This event is sponsored by Friends of the Library and will be preceded by a short membership meeting.

Joseph Tremonti is a professor of Digital Design at Southwestern Oregon Com munity College. He joined Southwestern in 2014 and launched the Digital Design program, SWOCC’s first fully online AAS degree.

Marine toxin closes all razor clamming

The Oregon Department of Agriculture and ODFW closed all razor clam har vesting from the Washington border to the California border. Recent lab results indicate the marine biotoxin domoic acid exceeded the closure limit along the entire Oregon coast.

Mussel harvesting remains

closed from the Columbia River to the north side of the Yachats River for elevated levels of paralytic shellfish poison, a marine biotoxin.

Mussel harvesting remains open from the south side of the Yachats River to the California border.

Recreational bay clam and crab harvesting remain open.

Wade LeJeune

ODA will continue testing for shellfish toxins twice per month as tides and weather permit. Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit. Both domoic acid and paralytic shellfish toxin are produced by naturally occur ring algae.
