Alcorn holds early lead in commissioners race

THE PILOT

Brookings City Councilman Brad Alcorn appears to be heading to a surprisingly easy victory in the race for Curry County commissioner.

Alcorn is facing Beth Barker-Hidalgo in the race to replace outgoing Commissioner Chris Paasch for the seat on the three-person board of commissioners.

The initial vote count at 8 p.m. on Tuesday Nov. 8 showed Alcorn leading the race with 6,269 votes ahead of Barker-Hidalgo who had 3,651 votes. That gave Alcorn about 63 percent of the ballots counted and Barker-Hidalgo held the remaining 37 percent of votes.

The general election is the

second time Alcorn and Barker-Hidalgo faced off this year as the two also competed in a three-person primary in May. In that vote, Barker-Hidalgo won easily, but Alcorn kept it close enough to force the runoff that was held Tuesday.

In the race, Alcorn touted his law enforcement experience as well as his experience serving on the Brookings City Council.

Barker-Hidalgo said her experience in the nonprofit sector would help the county gain grant funding. She also said she would be a moderate voice on the board of commissioners, which has been plagued with heated debates over the last few years.

Despite the race being unaf-

filiated, the two candidates also discussed their party affiliations, with Alcorn a Republican and Barker-Hidalgo a Democrat.

In Curry County there are 19,157 eligible voters, and 10,499 (54.8%) of ballots had been received, as of Nov. 8, according to the Oregon Secretary of State.

Barnes headed to victory in race for treasurer

David Barnes was the only candidate with his name on the ballot in the race for Curry County treasurer, but Douglas Baker made a late write-in attempt to take the seat.

After early voting, Barnes has received 92.62% of the vote, with just over 7% for write-in candidates.

Hedenskog headed to victory in mayor's race

THE PILOT

In Brookings, many residents were keeping their eye on the mayoral race.

Early results showed Mayor incumbent Ron Hedenskog leading the three-person contest with 48 percent of the votes. Candice Michel came in second to Hedenskog with 27 percent of the votes –holding a small lead over Anthony Bond, who received 24 percent of the initial votes counted.

Hedenskog appears headed to victory after he was appointed to the mayor’s seat in 2021.

During the campaign, Hedenskog touted his experience on the city council and as mayor, which it appears most voters favored.

Brookings city council position 4 appeared to be the closest race with Michelle Morosky holding a 54 percent edge over Teresa Lawson’s 46 percent votes in the first count of ballots released.

In Brookings Council position 3,

Brookings fuel tax headed to victory

Despite the high fuel prices in Southern Oregon, voters in Brookings have voted to reinstate the city’s fuel tax.

Through early voting, 60.22% of voters voted to continue the fuel tax

while just under 40% voted against it.

The vote will also raise the city tax from 4 cents per gallon to 5 cents per gallon.

Voters countywide and in Brookings also voted to ban the sale psilocybin in their communities with both votes passing handily.

The initial count represented 57.65 percent of active registered voters with 11,045 ballots counted

Hundreds of mushrooms displayed at Festival

THE PILOT

Mushroom enthusiasts from near and far gathered at Brookings Salmon Run Golf Course and Event Center over the weekend to view and learn about more than 200 varieties of local, wild mushrooms.

Festival goers had the opportunity to look at and learn about many different kinds of mushrooms from experts in an elaborate display inside the event center on Nov. 5 and 6.

The Wild Rivers Mushroom Festival was back after a two-year hiatus at the new larger venue.

In addition to the mushrooms on display, vendors were on hand selling

fungi-related products, including dehydrated mushrooms, mushroom-themed art and jewelry, field guides, and mushroom prints, posters and clothing.

In addition to the free festival offerings, mushroom festival participants had the opportunity to pay a small fee to go on mushroom identification hikes. A variety of mushroom experts - both regional and national - also presented workshops over the course of the two-day festival. Topics included identifying, harvesting, cooking with, eating, and preserving wild mushrooms.

The Wild River Mushroom Festival is held annually during the first full weekend of November.

Council discusses franchise fees with Coos-Curry Electric

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

The City of Brookings is looking into changing their agreement with Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative from a “barter” system to include franchise fees.

Cities have franchise agreements (usually enacted through city ordinances) with a variety of private companies that use city property or city rights-of way to conduct their business. These companies include those that provide cable television, broadband, telephone service and garbage collection.

Right now, instead of charging the electric company a franchise fee, an agreement between the city and the electric company exists. Coos-Curry Electric Company pays for the costs of providing and maintaining street lights and the city agreed not to charge them a franchise fee.

According to a staff report provided to the city council, Brookings is one of few cities where the franchise fee is paid by a barter agreement. This agreement expires on Dec. 31, 2022 – and the parties have reportedly been negotiating a new franchise agreement for the past several months.

Brookings city staff first started reviewing the fees charged to various companies in 2017, when a survey by the League of Oregon Cities found that cities were increasingly relying on franchise fees for revenue. At this time the City Council made an informal goal of achieving a uniform franchise fee rate for all franchise operators at a rate of 7 per cent of gross revenue.

According to a staff document, right now all other Brookings utility franchise holders are paying a 7 per cent fee – with the exception of Charter and Beacon Broadband, who are paying approximately 5 per cent.

City staff found that the barter agreement with Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative is equal to about a 1 per cent franchise fee.

A staff report suggested the city council pass an ordinance that would incrementally raise the franchise fee with the electric cooperative each year to reach a maximum of 7 per cent in 9 years.

SOVO receives grant to help local veterans

Southwestern Oregon Veterans Outreach (SOVO) Board President Rick Anderson announced a grant from the United Way of Southwestern Oregon this week. The grant award of $2,500 will enable SOVO to provide area veterans and their families or survivors in Coos, Curry, western Lane and western Douglas counties with emergency aid for shelter, food, clothing and local travel for food, medical and employment purposes.

“We are very grateful to the United Way for their generosity and support of veterans in our community,” said Anderson. “We appreciate their concern for veterans and their families.”

Jen Shafer, Executive Director of the United Way of Southwestern Oregon remarked, “We are pleased to provide this grant to SOVO, and we look forward to seeing the results of their good work in support of our veterans and their families.”

Gear restrictions continue on Chetco, Winchuck rivers

Gear restrictions continue on Chetco, Winchuck rivers Chetco and Winchuck angling gear restrictions are extended through 11:59 p.m., Nov. 15 due to low water levels.

The gear restriction extension is also a conservative approach to help lower harvest levels of older aged chinook salmon.

Angling is restricted to fly fishing (must include a strike indicator) or bobber fishing in both rivers. The Chetco restriction applies from River Mile 2.2 to Nook Creek, and from the mouth to Wheeler Creek in the Winchuck River.

Based on historical flow regimes, gear restrictions are typically in place Sept. 1 –Nov. 3 each year to eliminate snagging. As in 2018, this year is an exception with abnormally low flows and no significant October rains. With rain forecasted beginning this week, the gear restriction will lift at 12:01 a.m. Nov. 16.

ODFW biologists expect good numbers of chinook to return to the Chetco and some are already holding in the lower river. Maintaining a fishing opportunity for Chetco bank anglers is important and this is also a good time of year to harvest returning hatchery fish.

City staff said extra general fund money would be beneficial for the city – especially because funds from this account can be used for matching grants for city projects.

Representatives from Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative were also present at the meeting, including Brent Bischoff, general manager and CEO at Coos-Curry. Bischoff said that the company would be cooperative with a new agreement – as they are required by city ordinance.

But he also said other companies paying higher franchise fees are “private” companies, whereas the cooperative is member owned – and therefore the city council should consider charging the cooperative a lower franchise fee.

He also suggested that the cost of the franchise fees would be passed along to customers to some degree.

The fading miracle of migration

By PEPPER TRAIL

For the past few weeks, doz ens of turkey vultures have been circling on thermals over my house in Oregon, preparing to soar away south into California. Not long ago, I saw a late monarch butterfly pass ing high overhead, its orange wings incandescent against the blue sky. These are examples of the great migratory movements that enliven the West every spring and fall.

The long-distance migrations of seemingly fragile monarch but terflies are among nature’s most incredible phenomena, with eastern populations wintering in vast numbers in a tiny refuge in Mexico, and western populations at a few sheltered spots along the California coast.

Migration is central to the lives of many wild animals of great pub lic interest and huge economic im portance, from salmon to waterfowl to large mammals like pronghorn and elk. Just about everybody at tuned to the natural world looks for ward to some migratory milestone, whether it’s the arrival of the first robin of spring or the beginning of duck hunting season.

Thanks to advances in technol ogy and data collection, this is a golden age for research on migra tion. Radar allows documentation of the magnitude of animals on the move: On a recent night, for example, it was estimated that 5.4 million birds were in the skies over Oregon.

The citizen science database eBird, combined with advances enabling the detection of signals from lightweight tags attached to migrating animals, have provided migration maps of stunning speci ficity. For an example with turkey vultures, go to https://tinyurl.com/ mtndawtm.

At the same time, we are also coming to understand the many threats to migration. The drastic de clines of Pacific salmon are known all too well.

Elk and pronghorn face ever-in creasing obstacles posed by high ways, roads to access and extract fossil fuels and other developments on the landscape.

But what’s happening to mi gratory birds really tells the story. Based on many lines of evidence, scientists have concluded that 2.9 billion — yes, billion — breeding adult birds have been lost in the United States since the 1970s. That is one-third of the total bird popula tion of the United States.

Of that 2.9 billion, 86%, 2.5 billion, are migratory species. Although declines of birds in the western part of the country are less severe overall than in the East, many of our familiar migrants are showing dramatic reductions, in cluding rufous hummingbird, down 60%, common nighthawk, 58%, band-tailed pigeon, 57%, Lewis’s woodpecker, 67%, and evening grosbeak, 92%.

Why is this happening? The loss of habitat is the main problem for many species, especially grass land birds. For example, between

2018–19 alone, 2.6 million acres of grassland in the Great Plains were converted to row-crop agriculture. That’s an area larger than Yellow stone National Park. Loss of winter habitat in Mexico and Central America also threatens many species.

Human constructions from power lines to wind turbines to oil pits increase the dangers of migration for birds. The greatest hazard may seem mundane, but it’s ubiquitous: windows. Collisions with windows are estimated to kill a staggering billion birds in this country each year. Brightly lit skyscrapers are also a menace to songbirds, most migrating at night.

Climate change adds to the threats for migratory species. In addition to broad effects like widespread drought in the West and melting permafrost in the Arctic, climate change can scramble the relationship between migration timing and the availability of food resources. Hungry migrants may arrive in spring to find that the peak of insect abundance has already passed.

Fortunately, there are many things each of us can do to help migrating birds. First, advocate for the preservation of bird habitats –and provide your own by planting native fruiting and flowering plants on your land.

Second, take steps to reduce bird collisions with your windows. Many solutions are available, in cluding “Zen wind curtains”: light cords hanging in front of the glass. For DIY instructions, and much other information, go to: https://ti nyurl.com/2hf558nj. And keep your cats inside, as free-ranging cats take a staggering toll on birds.

Finally, support organizations that advocate for birds and their habitats or promote research on mi gratory birds, such as the National Audubon Society, the American Bird Conservancy, and the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

Together, we can save the lives of millions of birds, and help ensure that their incredible migratory jour neys never end.

What is going on?

Regarding Ms. Howard and the city council; She should be ashamed of herself, getting $125,000 and is nothing more than a petty thief. The council mem bers and mayor who hired her and the council who, with appears to be no vetting of her background, are equally to be blamed. What a system that allowed this incident to happen.

errors were in both papers. The late great Herb Caen of the S.F. Chronicle used to write about small things that bothered him that he termed "The Picking of Nits". This tiny complaint would fit into that category. Hope to see the Super Crossword and the solution in next week's papers.

And after three months you can't figure out what to do, doesn't anyone have any common sense? She should have been fired after her arrest, not put on paid vacation for months on end. And now the mayor wants to hire her back in a different titled position at a " highest rate possible." It appears most of the members of city hall are crazy and some have the audacity to run for other offices. It's no wonder our federal, state and local governments are in such a state of embarrass

I thoroughly enjoy receiving both our local papers every week. I don't mind the occasional misspellings and grammatical errors I notice. That just adds to the nuances and character of small communities. Plus I live in a glass house regard ing those issues. Most of us do.

However, I was taken aback a little finding both papers going back to the smaller King Crossword in favor of the larger Super Cross word.

Personally, I liked the Super Crossword better. What was doubly disappointing was the solution was for the Super not the King. Both

Managing the Holiday Season Sober, It’s Not an Impossible Task

By MICHAEL LEACH Guest column

Whether this involves holiday work events or family gatherings, it can be tough to manage sobriety while in recovery. There is always a temptation.

In contrast, it can be challenging for most people to avoid excessive alcohol use over the holiday season.

People become stressed with re lationships, grief or loss, shopping, finances, and seeing family. While in recovery, maintaining sobriety over the holidays seems like an uphill battle.

However, despite relapse triggers and the crippling stress the holiday season may bring, staying sober is not an impossible task, whether you are in recovery or not.

A carefully considered plan makes a world of difference and is perhaps the best way to avoid relapse or overindulgence.

Before attending any work or family gathering, ask yourself things like:

Who is at the party? Is there any one there who could be a negative influence?

Could I invite a sober party date or friend?

What is my plan if someone offers me a drink? Are there holiday mocktails available?

What is my escape plan if things become out of hand or challenging to manage?

“It has become more common at holiday parties for hosts to provide non-alcoholic mocktails,” said Mar cel Gemme of Addicted.org. “More and more people are wanting to avoid the negative effects of alco hol, especially drinking and driving

and unnecessary arguments.”

Asking some of these questions before attending a party makes it easier to decide whether you would want to attend.

Consider some of the following tips if you decide to attend a holi day party, work function, or family gathering.

Try to avoid vulnerable situa tions whenever possible. Whether in recovery or wanting to avoid excessive alcohol use, avoid slipper situations where there is temptation. There could be family members or another individual who feels the need to pressure everyone to drink and drink a lot.

Do not ignore the emotional complexities of the holidays. Indi viduals experience an array of emo tions over the holidays, good and bad. When negative feelings begin to take over, it is critical to stay focused on the good. Keep positive and express gratitude; even write down everything you are grateful for as a reminder.

Do not be afraid to use a support system. The worst thing that anyone

can do over the holidays is to be alone. Reach out to someone, ask for support, and call someone who understands. If you are in recovery, perhaps consider a 12-step meeting. Focus on the holiday spirit and self-care. If there is one thing that most people avoid over the holiday season is making it a point to put yourself first. Do things that make you feel healthy and energized. Finally, the holiday season is not all about parties, gifts, and festivities. Discover gratitude in every mo ment that passes and recognize your blessings.

This holiday season, focus on giving and giving thanks. Share these fantastic moments and grat itude with the people close to you while enjoying the true meaning of the holiday season.

T.S. No. 22-30482-BA-CA Title No. 2158346 A.P.N. 112-14242 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE. YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 03/26/2007. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, (cashier’s check(s) must be made payable to National Default Servicing Corporation), drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state; will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made in an “as is” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: Thomas S Earls, Avis C Earls Duly Appointed Trustee: National Default Servicing Corporation Recorded 04/09/2007 as Instrument No. 20071937 (or Book, Page) of the Official Records of Del Norte County, CA. Date of Sale: 12/08/2022 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: On the steps of the southwest entrance to the Flynn Administration Bldg. located at 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $222,116.22 Street Address or other common designation of real property: 2011 Parkway Dr Crescent City, CA 95531-8054 A.P.N.: 112-142-42 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The requirements of California Civil Code Section 2923.5(b)/2923.55(c) were fulfilled when the Notice of Default was recorded.

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 22-30482-BA-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 888264-4010, or visit this internet website www.ndscorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 22-30482-BA-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.

Music of the West African kora comes to Gold Beach

Sean Gaskell will give a performance and educational demonstration on the kora, an ancient 21-stringed harp from West Africa. He will feature traditional songs that are the heart and soul of the kora’s musical repertoire. The free performance will take place at Curry Public Library in Gold Beach on Thursday, November 17, at 5:30 p.m.

Gaskell first heard the kora performed live in his hometown of Olympia, Washington, in 2006. That performance by Kane Mathis, who would become his first teacher, inspired him to immerse himself in music of the kora and travel to its homeland in West Africa.

The kora is traditionally played by oral historians known as Griots, often called Jalis or Jelis.

Many songs tell stories of war, hardship, love, and loss

all while presenting the history and fabric of Mande society, of which the instrument originates. Visits to Brikama, Gambia, provided Gaskell the opportunity to study the kora under the instruction of Moriba Kuyateh and his father, the late Malamini Jobarteh.

Gaskell has presented adult, youth, and family programs at over 350 libraries and a multitude of K-12 schools, colleges, universities, and assisted living facilities throughout the United States and Canada. He is currently based in Asheville, North Carolina.

For more information about the musician, visit www.seangaskell.com

For more information about the performance, please call 541-247-7246 or visit www.currypubliclibrary. org.

nail. Scratching also is a way for cats to mark their territory in the wild. Provide plenty of safe and appropriate scratching posts so cats leave the furniture alone. Cordon off areas that are off limits or try sour sprays or other repellents.

• Resource guarding: Many pets will show aggression when they guard their possessions from others, whether it is necessary or not.

Pets have evolved from wild animals that had to compete for food, mates and territories, so it’s understandable that genetics hasn’t been so quick to catch up with the modern life of pampered pets. Pet owners can opt for adopting young pets that can be hand fed early on or touched or manipulated while eating or enjoying food treats to try to prevent

• Inappropriate urination: Just when you think your dog is house trained or a cat has embraced its litter box, you may nd he or she is urinating elsewhere. Physical illnesses, such as kidney issues or diabetes, could be the root of the problem. Some animals that are not neutered or spayed may be engaging in “marking” behavior, which is spreading scent around a territory. Getting the pet xed can alleviate the problem. Speak with a vet rst to rule out certain issues.

• Barking: Barking to alert someone is at the home may be a trait people look for in a dog. But when a dog’s barking becomes excessive, it could be indicative of a behavioral issue. Dogs may learn to use barking to their bene t. Some dogs may bark to get walks, food or

attention — even if it’s negative attention from a person saying “shush.” Some breeds naturally bark more than others. In such instances, barking may be reduced but not entirely eliminated. Again, a behaviorist may be able to help.

• Jumping up or overzealous greetings: Similar to barking, some pets greet all visitors to the home (or outside) by jumping up on people. This can be annoying and even dangerous if a big animal jumps on a small person. Reward calm behavior by only giving attention to the pet after he or she calms down. Lavishing attention on an animal as soon as you come home while it is jumping up sets a bad precedent and can lead to a jumping problem.

These are a few common pet behaviors pet owners may need to address to cohabitate peacefully with their animals.
