Curry County noxious weeds

Wanted: Dead, not alive board serves as the county’s weed control advisory and administers eradication and control efforts. Grant funding is available for control of certain weeds from the Oregon State Weed Board, part of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, when the board determines that a weed problem can be successfully eradicated or controlled.

The top priority weeds in Curry County in order are Gorse, Jubata grass, Japanese and Himalayan knotweeds, Spanish heath and Cape ivy.

Erin Minster is out to kill off Curry County’s worst weeds. She’s the technical coordinator for the Curry Watersheds Partnership, and her goal is to raise the public’s awareness about Curry County’s “most wanted” list of top priority weeds.

Minster made a presentation to the Curry County Board of Commissioners’ workshop Nov. 4. Curry Soil and Water Conservation District’s (SWCD) noxious weed control program, actively solicits funding to help control and potentially eradicate certain weeds in the county. The SWCD’s

increases wildfire risk and causes high economic losses for forestry and agriculture.

“If you are not familiar with gorse, it’s a plant that has a high volatile oil content,” Minster said. “When it catches fire, it spits fire.”

The 1936 Bandon fire was attributed to heavy gorse infestation. According to The Research Group LLC in a 2014 report, in terms of economic loss, gorse is number three in the state, costing half a million dollars in personal income due to loss of use of agricultural and forest land. The Gorse Action Group has a website, gorseactiongroup.org where you can go for all things gorse.

The plant is described as

Gorse Gorse takes the top spot in Curry County. It is the most destructive for native habitat,

perennial, heavily armored (spiky), growing from three to 10 feet tall, often forming dense thickets. It has clusters of yellow, pea-like flowers that typically bloom from February through May. Gorse is native to Scotland, and thrives in the temperate rainforests of Curry County.

Most of the problematic gorse infestations are in the north part of the county with dense infestations. Brookings has a small cluster of problem areas in the Dawson Tract, Harris Creek watershed and the Rainbow Rock area. Other areas of the south county have a few plants. It’s about a five-year process to eradicate it.

Salmon Run provides unforgettable wildlife viewing opportunities, including salmon, deer and elk, in a beautiful golf setting designed for all skill levels.

Salmon Run will have new management LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot

The Brookings City Council voted unanimously at its Nov. 9 meeting to enter into a contract with CourseCo to take over management of Salmon Run Golf Course, effective Jan. 1.

The 18-hole golf course, located at 99040 South Bank Chetco River Road, is owned by the City of Brookings. The course is 3.5 miles up the South Bank Chetco River Road. Jack Creek runs

through the course, and steelhead and salmon are often seen spawning from the many bridges that cross the meandering creek.

The course opened in 1999 and was the first golf course designed

by Troy Claveran, who transitioned from being a pro golfer to a professional golf course designer.

Amenities include a restaurant, full-service bar, pro shop, and PGA teaching staff. The Occasion Hall offers facilities for weddings, receptions, conferences, reunions, meetings and more.

For the past 4 1/2 years the Early Management Team, Inc., owned by Gary and Val Early, has managed the property. At the council’s April 13 meeting, the councilors decided to issue a request for proposals for the management of the course because of proposed changes for the management agreement.

The current agreement expires at the end of the year, and that was after an extension of one year and seven months that was added onto the original three-

year agreement with the Early Management Team.

Both Early Management Team and CourseCo responded to the RFP, which had a due date of June 29. A committee comprised of council members Brent Hodges and John McKinney, along with City Manager Janelle Howard and Deputy Public Works Director Jay Trost proposed entering into an agreement with CourseCo after interviewing both companies.

roof in desperate need of repair this year — the horse arena. Already, Coleman has managed the major roofing project for the Event Center’s main building, Docia Sweet Hall, followed by arranging to have a new roof put on the smaller Showcase Building after it was discovered while painting the building that it had a major leak.

The repairs for the two roofs

were made possible by a dedicated percentage (1%) of the city’s Tourism Lodging Tax (TLT) that the council set aside for the Event Center. Over the last four years, the TLT has raised almost $300,000 for the Event Center.

The TLT fund from the city still has around $110,000. “But we have another roof project coming up that’s going to be a

critical fix,” Coleman said. “Our arena roof is currently falling apart. There are large holes in the metal and chunks of insulation falling to the floor. This lets the water from the storms pour in and it leaves huge puddles and starts causing major damage to the floor in the arena.”

Curry County has added another 13 cases during the past week, on top of the previous week’s 12 cases. As of Nov. 19, the county has had 94 cases since the start of the pandemic, with two deaths. Currently, 21 of those cases are considered active.

Many of the cases in reports this past two weeks are from central and south Curry County.

From the OHA Weekly Report covering the week of Nov. 9 through Nov. 15, 56 cases are from the Brookings zip code and 19 are from the Gold Beach area.

The rapid rise in cases this week across Oregon has prompted Governor Kate Brown to order a two-week freeze and an executive order that limited restaurants to takeout only, closed gyms and offices, and limited retail stores and pharmacies to 75 percent of capacity. The executive order prohibited social gatherings of more than six people or two households, affecting Thanksgiving holiday celebrations across the state.

The restrictions are in response to the rapid acceleration in cases and will help prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed.

Statewide cases have risen from last week’s 52,770 cases with 742 deaths as of Nov. 11 to 59,669 cases and 788 deaths as of Nov. 18.

Del Norte County Del Norte County is having a similar surge in cases, rising from 194 cases reported Nov. 10 to 242 cases as of Nov. 17.

Of those cases, 38 are currently considered active. The rise in cases has moved Del Norte County to the “Red Tier,” which places further restrictions on some businesses.

Food Bank needs donations LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot

Brookings Harbor Community Helpers and Brookings Harbor Food Bank are struggling this year to put together food baskets for Thanksgiving.

Donations of food for the giveaways have been really slow this year, says Pamela Winebarger, executive director.

“The food drives over the past two weekends at Fred Meyer haven’t produced enough donations to cover all the stuff that’s

needed,” she said.

Last year, the group put together 300 food boxes for families to make their own traditional Thanksgiving meal. This year, she’s worried they might need even more boxes than last year. “I realize it’s hard because of the times,” she said.

The problem goes beyond ordinary working families who are struggling paycheck to paycheck.

“I’ve had many people come in over the past several months who have never needed services

before,” she said.

The food bank already has plenty of bread rolls and frozen pies, but still needs especially turkeys and stuffing, plus mashed potato mixes, gravy, cranberry sauce and veggies.

The boxes are going out at 1 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 23. Donations need to arrive between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. that morning so volunteers can get the food into the boxes.

The Brookings Harbor Food Bank is located at 539 Hemlock Street in Brookings. For more information or to make a donation, contact Pamela Winebarger at 541-4696988.

Jubata grass is sometimes confused with pampas grass, but proliferates much more quickly.

The rain and lack of volunteers is threatening our success, says Nature’s Coastal Holiday, which is decorating along U.S. Highway 101 and selected commercial areas in the Brookings Harbor community instead of Azalea Park this year.

The smaller outlier infestations are easier to treat and are a high priority for preventing spread.

The plants produce large numbers of seeds that are viable for 30 or more years. If you see a gorse plant, Minster says to report it because the seeds are the real problem for creating spread. Killing a single plant is much easier than spending 10 years trying to eradicate a larger patch that has gone to seed many times over.

Out of 275 sites treated this year 116 were found to have no new sprouts or growth.

Jubata Grass Jubata grass, which is sometimes confused with pampas grass, is number two on Curry’s most wanted list. The difference between the two species in the genus is that pampas grass needs male and female plants to produce seeds, where Jubata grass can clone seeds and reproduce without any other plants around. Visually it’s really hard to tell them apart.

“If you live in Brookings or Harbor, you probably have one in your yard,” Minster said.

Jubata is a major fire hazard and also crowds out native vegetation. Efforts for control in Harbor began in 2017 at the request of former Harbor Fire Chief, John Brazil.

“That partnership was key to getting funding for the Harbor area and we have successfully treated several large areas,” Minster said. “People are seeing it die and we are getting lots of requests from that area as a result.”

The best way to get rid of Jubata is to spray it in August. While they can be dug out manually, the disturbance of the soil is problematic because getting the roots out is difficult and disposal of the root mass needs to done responsibly.

Cape ivy is the brighter green leafed plant that’s intermingled with with the darker colored English ivy. Both plants will kill trees, but the English ivy is too ubiquitous to productively target except for restoration projects. cause riparian degradation, increased erosion and are highly invasive.

“They increase erosion along riverbanks because they’re not a very strong plant,” Minster said.

The stalks are hollow stemmed and easy to break down. In high flow events, the river rips the plants out, which then exposes the banks to greater erosion. The Watershed Council SWCD sprays them for two or three years in a row, then waits a few years because the plants store energy in its rhizomes.

They have been very successful at eradicating the Himalayan knotweed, but did not treat as much Japanese knotweed this year because of the number of jubata grass sites.

Spanish Heath Spanish heath has been used for floral arrangements, and is mostly confined to northern Curry County where it escaped from a nursery that used to grow it commercially.

It has been problematic in cranberry bogs. Efforts to control it have been effective, Minster said.

Cape Ivy Ivy kills trees, which makes Cape ivy a target.

“While English ivy also kills trees, because it is so ubiquitous, we can’t get funding to eradicate it,” Minster said.

The Cape ivy exists in just 15 known sites in Curry County and no other reported sites in Oregon. Cape ivy is brighter green than English ivy (actually most is likely Irish ivy for the genetic leaf splitters), and looks like new growth. The leaves are thinner, not as heavy and waxy, and always have five points without deep lobes. It

tends to grow under things, so winter is the best time to find them.

The good news is that the program has had a lot of success eradicating and controlling many of the noxious weed sites in Curry County. However the weeds program has taken a big hit financially due to the pandemic. Typically each year the SWCD gets $60,000 to $70,000 dollars in grant funding from the Oregon State Weed Board, she said.

“That funding opportunity will not exist this year, and there’s speculation as to whether or not it will not return next year.”

The BLM, Forest Service and Wild Rivers Coast Alliance (for gorse) have funded a lot of work for the program, so other funding resources are being sought.

“But the last thing you want to do with weeds is drop the ball, because you’ve wasted the work you’ve put in and you’re right back to ground zero,” Minster cautioned.

“That’s heartbreaking and it does happen from time to time, but you try to minimize it.”

The SWCD provides eradication and control services for a fee to cover time and materials, and they will definitely help with creating treatment plans for do-it-yourselfers for any priority weeds and state or county listed weeds that landowners are struggling with.

“We are here to help and sometimes have funding,” Minster said.

If you have questions about weeds or would like to donate to the program, contact the Curry Watersheds Partnership at 541-247-2755 or by email, info@currywatersheds.org or www.currywatersheds. org.

Brookings-Harbor School District updates reopening plans CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s “two-week freeze” in effect from Nov. 18 to Dec. 2 will not change the metrics or the rules that allow schools and school districts to continue operating, according to David Marshall, Brookings Harbor School District (BHSD) Superintendent.

The two-week freeze announced on Friday, Nov. 13 was set in place to help stop the rapid spread of COVID-19 across Oregon and conserve hospital capacity. The freeze outlines new or reinstated restrictions for restaurants, venues, businesses, and social gatherings.

BHSD recently added additional grades in morning and afternoon in-person classes. They also continue to offer online-only options for students via the Brookings-Harbor Online Academy. Until further notice, BHSD will continue with in-person learning in its three schools for grades Kindergarten through fifth grade, sixth grade, and ninth grade, with plans to move forward with the current reopening plan to bring back remaining

grades in December (seventh, eighth, 10th, 11th, and 12th). This gradual return to classrooms has been intentional and allows time to make any needed adjustments in procedures as increased numbers of students come on campus for instruction, Marshall said. “Our priority is to bring the students back on campus safely. Working together as a community to limit the spread of the virus will help keep the students safe in class.”

Some of the precautions that schools must follow include all students and staff wearing masks or OHA approved face coverings. Schools maintain six-foot physical distancing and must provide 35 square feet of space per person in each classroom.

Students are required to frequently wash or sanitize their hands and classrooms are sanitized each day between sessions. A growing body of evidence that indicates that the use of these measures together substantially reduces the risk of virus transmission.

The district will also continue to offer some “Limited In-Person” sup-

port services and hands-on classes for students, as well as foodservice, including free “Grab and Go” food distribution for all youth ages one to 18-years-old in the community with pick up available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 6:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Brookings-Harbor High School parking lot.

After-school and athletics activities are under consideration and an update from ODE or the Governor’s office is expected early next week.

“It is concerning that the number of positive COVID-19 cases in Curry County is trending upwards,” he said. “The District continues to closely monitor the case numbers and positivity rates. The District is also working collaboratively with Curry County Public Health to determine if the situation in Brookings changes to a level that warrants a change in plans. Close collaboration between Brookings-Harbor School District and Curry County Public Health also allows for rapid response to cases or exposures within schools.”

Golf

spring of 2016, the course would have been charitably considered as in poor condition. Later that year, the City of Brookings hired Early Management Team to take over course operations, and they have done a remarkable job in improving the conditions of the course.“ “The future of the golf course was pretty uncertain before the Earlys came on,” said Mayor Jake Pieper. “I wasn’t sure having a golf course was in the cards for the City.”

Councilor Alcorn noted that he had been approached at a restaurant by a couple who told him Val and Gary are the two hardest working people they’ve ever seen.

“In our several visits to the facility, I want to recognize how much blood sweat and tears went into the facility,” Sharp said.

“We look forward to building on that legacy and the next chapter in the future.”

The Pilot caught up with Val Early to discuss the challenges they faced, as well as the rewards.

Val Early acknowledged managing the course was challenging.

“There have been many challenges — some bigger than others. One of the greatest challenges has been getting the course in shape over the past 4.5 years. Finding the proper equipment to accomplish everything we wanted was also challenging.”

Along with fires, floods and COVID, a persistent

challenge for the course is an elk herd that considers the course home every winter season.

“Just once we’d like to not include an ‘elk’ report with our monthly newsletter,” according to the March 2020 newsletter.

“We don’t know if it’s due to the logging or the increased herd size but the elk have been relentless.

We scooped over 250 pounds of elk droppings off 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17 and 18 fairways. Gary and John V. spent four hours on their knees repairing the 9 and 18 green after a particularly extensive dance party by the herd.”

Over the years they tried hiring night watchmen and deploying game cameras to get a handle on the problem.

“The greatest rewards have always been the people and their appreciation of our hard work and improvements to the course,” Early said. “It has also been very rewarding to have new golfers come discover the course and enjoy their rounds. We weren’t able to accomplish many of these tasks, or bask in the rewards, without significant help from others including our staff and close businesses who have supported our endeavors at Salmon Run. The improvement of Salmon Run has, in many ways, been a coordinated effort with many players.

We are extremely grateful for all the community support we’ve received.”

Continued from Page A1

Michael Sharp, President and CEO of CourseCo, a golf property management company based in Petaluma, Calif., spoke at the council meeting about his company’s transition plans.

“It’s our intent to work with Val and Gary to bring as much staff over as possible,” he said. “We don’t come in with a bus full of people ready to go to work.

Typically, we find that 9095 percent of the current staff wants to stay on board.

They’re the best resource for institutional knowledge.

They know what works.

They know the customers, the history and we believe that if we provide some more support and resources, that they typically rise to the occasion and we get good employees out of it.”

Salmon Run has approximately a dozen employees.

The new company plans to set up an all employee meeting and start the process of the transition, reduce some of the anxiety and give people some security.

“As of January 1, it’s our full intention to bring everyone on over,” Sharp said.

The new agreement is for a term of 10 years for CourseCo to manage the golf course. CourseCo will receive $84,000 annually to be paid from golf course revenue. CourseCo will contribute $60,000 of their funds toward capital at the golf course.

Councilors and Mayor Jake Pieper all agreed that Val and Gary Early had done a phenomenal job running the course since they took it over in May 2016.

According to the website GolfOregon.com, the Early Management Team had their work cut out for them and received high praise in its review of the course.

“The course has suffered a series of events, including severe flooding in 2016 and 2018, and the fire of 2017 (which did not singe the course but stopped operations for a time). By the

Gold Beach

which Coleman explained she would like to keep in reserve for unexpected repairs that will likely come up.

Councilor Becky Campbell has been working closely with the event center for some time.

“All you need to do to try and grasp the gravity of this roof situation is to go visit the horse arena,” Campbell said. “There is literally a huge hole in the roof that is causing damage.

If they don’t get this money, I’m concerned that they’re going to lose the arena.”

Campbell is the one who suggested the option of requesting a loan against their future TLT revenues.

City Administrator Jodi Fritts explained that borrowing from the city was a better option than the Event Center borrowing from a bank and then pledging the TLT funds as security.

“Technically we would be loaning the money to ourselves because the TLT funds are our money,” she said.

A motion to loan up to $250,000 from future TLT funds at 3% interest, paid weekly from projected revenue was passed unanimously by all five councilors.

things are the cleaning standards and the ability to enforce the social distancing requirements at playgrounds. We can’t meet that those standards, and that’s why our park is still closed.”

The second reason the kids playground and other facilities that are still closed, such as restrooms, is a risk management issue.

“Our insurance company does not cover pathogens, and that’s not just a COVID thing — that’s any pathogens,” Fritts said. “So if there were claims to arise from somebody that was injured because of what’s going on now, the city would be liable. If we were not following the advice that has been put out by the state then we would be doubly liable because the information that is coming from the state is what we are required to follow.”

To comply the city would need to clean the facilities twice a day plus post someone to monitor social distancing.

The city has insurance through CIS, which insures most cities and counties through their membership in League of Oregon Cities and Association of Oregon Counties.

The Visitors Center is still closed, as well, because of OSHA standards.

The Visitor Center’s layout is open without an actual lobby like what the city offices have, Fritts explained.

While the center is closed, a remodeling project is remedying the problem.

Continued from Page A1

The arena itself has great potential to be a host for a variety of types of events, including rodeos, working competitions, equipment shows, logging competitions, archery, circuses and concerts.

Currently they have a Gymkhana Horse Event in the planning stages, hosted by Ruth Dixon’s Hope Joy and Faith Farm.

The event is set to begin in January, and will be held once a month for four months. The event has already drawn interest from multiple places outside of Curry County. The event will bring in people for a couple of extra days each month during the off season for tourism.

The repair is estimated to be between $280,000 and $360,000.

“With the income we generate on our own, it would take a long time for us to be able to put that money aside and pay for a repair of this size at one time. In the meantime, they would face loss of income from events that could be held in the arena, plus the damage would get worse while the repair cost would go higher.”

The safety of the arena is a major concern because even without events, the horse boarders use the arena.

“I’m here today to ask you to put your trust in us again and recognize our need once more to ask for a loan against our future TLT tax revenue to make repairs on the roof now instead of waiting.”

Based on the average TLT revenues generated for the Event Center, it would take about four years to repay a $250,000 loan. TLT revenues are actually shockingly higher than ever expected with the current COVID crisis. The Event Center also receives TLT funds from the county, with a current balance of $191,500 in that fund,

Why are city facilities still closed due to COVID? When the governor’s office and OHA allowed Curry County to go into Phase Two in June, the park and most other city facilities were opened at that time,” Fritts said. “During the opening in June, we went in and opened everything except the Kids Castle structure. The reason for that was the rules from OHA have certain provisions in them we are not able to meet.

“I know that other cities have their parks open.

All I can say is I’m not in charge of those cities, so I don’t know what their circumstances are. I just know that we in Gold Beach can’t meet the requirements. The two big

Letters to the editor Singing Springs Wedding Venue Praised

My daughter got married. She and her husband had their wedding at Singing Springs Resort in Agness, Oregon. It was so beautiful. The resort is historic and the cabins are cozy. The restaurant is a rock’s throw from the river and everyone there treats you like you’ve been friends forever.

There are so many people involved in making a wedding event and lots of work to have it run smoothly.

Perhaps the first people you might think of is the DJ and the bartender and let me say they were incredibly fun. I enjoyed watching my children hanging out and enjoying each other and I enjoyed dancing with my grandchildren to the wonderful music of the DJ… but the unsung heroes are the most needed and appreciated.

Thank you to the ladies of

Singing Springs Resort: Terry, Denise, LaDonna and Brenda.

They worked so hard to set up, clean up, decorate our tables, serve the guests… and then stuck around all night to continue to help and serve us guests.

You are very loved and appreciated. Denise, you were fantastic. Thank you for helping the guests park and directing them to the event. I really liked watching you dance as well. You ladies made this wedding cozy and friendly, and you treated us like family.

Also I LOVE the cabins, I never want to leave.

And one more thank you to Terry again, for all the scrumptious eats that you made for us. And to Douglas Momchilovich from Cuzz’in Douggies Barbecue for the outstanding smoked brisket.

Best smoked meats in town!

And thank you Teira and Richard Neely for inviting

us to your wedding. I love you baby girl and I am so proud of you.

Tina Kirkpatrick Brookings

Open Letter to Healthcare Workers:

I’ve known you all my life. You helped bring me into this world. You took care of me and kept me alive during all of my horrible childhood illnesses.

Measles. Mumps. Rubella.

Chickenpox. Mononucleosis (at the age of seven, it almost killed me).You stitched me up when I fell out of the apple tree.

You set my broken bones.

You helped me bring my daughters into this world.

You continually work your hearts out in order to keep me healthy and thriving.

I want you to know how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for me.

I am doing my best so that you may never have to treat me for COVID-19. You are

loved. You are my angels.

Thank you.

Fewer Bureaucrats!

For heaven’s sake! I read with interest your front page article about the plight of nice, hard-working James Hart and his mini-horses. We need more people like Mr. Hart and his generous contributions to our communities and fewer bureaucrats always looking to add interference in our lives instead of helping philanthropic folks. The issue of requiring a CUP is petty at best and harassment at worst. How does it help Brookings or the county to charge Mr. Hart $2,000 for another level of regulations/ requirements which could force him to abandon his good intentions. Hopefully our County Commissioners can get help to address this issue from the County Counsel.

• In the red zone, districts must pause in-person instruction and resume distance learning K-12. The most current official school metrics report, or a dashboard visualization of the re-opening metrics can be found by following the links.

In the event that Curry records 60 active cases or greater in the most recent two weeks or test positivity exceeds 10 percent (red zone), all Curry County schools will return to comprehensive distance learning only. The two-week

metrics data that schools in Oregon use are updated every Monday afternoon or early evening. When the data for the most recent two weeks are released, the school will post any updates on it’s website.

If you have questions, concerns, or feedback for the district about reopening, there is an opportunity to complete a fall learning feedback survey, and attend a virtual information session from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. next Thursday, Nov. 19, for additional updates and questions and answers about reopening. A link to the virtual event will be posted on the BHSD website.

Anglers should carefully check the SW Zone regulations: https:// myodfw.com/recreation-report/fishing-report/ southwest-zone Low flow closure boundaries were suggested by anglers who attended public meetings in spring 2019 and provided feedback after last year’s angling season.

Lions community tree Since 2017, Brookings-Harbor Lions Club has adopted, maintained, and decorated downtown Oasis Park. The Lions Design Team, Joan and Jenna Willis, changes the holiday theme every year. For the 4th annual, 300 handmade winter ornaments and mesh bows of white, silver, and blue colors adorn the park. The 15-foot Community Tree includes white poinsettias that are made from plastic water bottles and Pepsi cans that are turned into stars. There are over 4,000 Christmas lights throughout the park.

The plan is to begin to light up on Thanksgiving night. The Lion’s Club thanks Top Shelf Cannabis and Shuldberg Orthodontist for donating the use of their electricity.

The Lions also wish

to thank the public for donating Oregon drink deposit recyclables through the Kans4Kids fundraiser program. All funds go back into the community in various activities with vision, hearing, environment, education, and other services.

Recyclable drinks, such as; plastic water bottles, soda cans, and glass beer bottles may be dropped-off at our main bins at Fred Meyer Recycle Center, in front of Grocery Outlet near fountain, and Elks RV Center.

To arrange a pick-up or for your business to be on the regular route, call the Kans4Kids Lion chair Jim Newman at 542-254-1002.

GARFIELD • Jim Davis

The 11th annual Gold Beach Rotary Turkey Trot was supposed to take place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, but like most events this year, plans evolve to meet the times.

There’s still a running, walking or biking component and a food drive donation element, so what’s different?

“We have decided to change the Turkey Trot to a virtual format due to the recent surge in COVID cases and new Oregon mandates,” said spokesperson Tara Simonson.

Here’s how it will work: participants can run, walk, hike or bike a 5K (3.1 miles) any time and anywhere in the upcoming weeks and then post their activity or a picture to the Gold Beach Rotary Turkey Trot event page.

participants dressed up in funny costumes and met at the Port of Gold Beach to walk together with the goal of burning off some of the calories consumed during holiday feasts of turkey, stuffing, pies, etc.

The dress-up theme for this year is “craziest COVID mask.” The usual entry fee of two non-perishable food items goes to the food bank. “Last year we had about 50 participants and gathered 186 pounds of food,” Simonson said.

Participants can make a food or monetary donation to their local food bank on their own or Gold Beach Rotary Club will be collecting donations at the Gold Beach High School parking lot from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 28. The Rotary Club plans to also have this be a canned food drive for anyone who wants to donate.

“Many recreational events have gone to a virtual format this year and we are hoping that this will encourage people to get out and be active and still donate to the food banks,” Simonson said.

HABIT OF ONE-UPMANSHIP PUSHES WOMEN’S FRIENDSHIP TO THE LIMIT DEAR ABBY: I have a good friend I’ll call Josie. She’s kind, generous and always willing to help. There is only one problem -- she lies.

The lies she tells are ridiculous. I find myself getting more and more angry as she stumbles through her stories. If someone makes a comment, she takes over the conversation and we hear a looong story about the same thing happening to her but much worse. I could say I climbed Mount Everest and Josie would say she climbed it twice.

What can I say or do to get her to stop lying? I’m so tired of it I’m thinking of quietly ending my friendship with her. -TRUTH WINS IN TENNESSEE DEAR TRUTH WINS: One

person trying to convince her to stop probably won’t do the trick.

Josie won’t quit lying until she finally hears it from others and realizes that it isn’t achieving the desired effect, which is standing front and center in the spotlight.

Tell Josie in plain English that what she’s doing is infuriating and that she’s doing herself no favors. But when you do, realize it will probably be part of a farewell speech rather than an opportunity for a new beginning. *** DEAR ABBY: I can’t travel

too far by myself because I’m agoraphobic. I’m having my house painted, and I asked my brother if he could pick up some paint because I needed more.

He brought the paint to me and I reimbursed him. He then accused me of being needy and using him because I mentioned I was short on gas money for the trip.

Abby, when I ask him to do things for me, I pay him 90% of the time. I don’t ask for his help often, but that time, he argued with me about gas money. Needless to say, I gave him $20.

My brother isn’t struggling financially. He has money. He’s supposed to be a deacon in his church and calls himself a good Christian. He really hurt my feelings, and he said other mean things about my health issues.

What should I do about this? -IN NEED IN THE EAST

DEAR IN NEED: Your brother may have been in a bad mood the day you asked him for the favor.

Have you told him that he hurt your feelings? If you didn’t, rather than nurse hurt feelings, clear the air. If this has happened more than once, find a “better” Christian to ask. *** DEAR ABBY: This letter is for people who are involved with folks who say they are separated.

If you have feelings for someone who is separated, ASK when they plan on getting divorced. If they come up with excuses like there are children involved, property disputes or they can’t afford a lawyer, end the relationship immediately.

Do not start dating or sleeping with a separated person. They can easily return to their spouse, leaving you high and dry (or pregnant, if you’re female). Just remain

friends until they are divorced, and afterward proceed with any relationship you two desire.

Bottom line: “Separated” means STILL MARRIED. While I’m not in this situation, I have known several people who were, and they regretted it. -- WORD OF WARNING IN VIRGINIA DEAR WORD: That’s pragmatic advice, and I hope readers will heed your warning. As anyone who has read my column knows, I have printed countless letters from heartbroken readers who wasted time and energy on partners who weren’t free.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Chetco Community Library will be closed through at least Dec. 2 Chetco Community Library announced on Monday, Nov. 16, it would close immediately through Dec. 2 because a staff member has tested positive for COVID-19.

“I am sorry to report that today a member of our library staff tested positive for COVID-19,” said Library Director Julie Retherford.

“They appear to have a mild case and are doing well, but we do ask that you keep

them in your thoughts as they continue to recover.”

Due to privacy concerns, the name of the library employee was not released.

“We believe they were exposed on Halloween, and it did not happen at the library,” Retherford said. “However, they did continue to work from then through Monday, Nov. 9 when their symptoms first appeared. At that time they went home, got tested, and

stayed home while they awaited test results. They received their results today.”

The library will remain closed through Wednesday, Dec. 2. During this time, the library will not offer any in-person services. The Friends of the Library book sale/book store is also closed.

“We apologize for the inconvenience, but we want to protect our staff and volunteers, allow those of us who were exposed to

quarantine safely at home, and protect all of you,” she said. “Fortunately we have been vigilant about requiring staff and patrons to wear masks at all times, so we are hopeful that exposure has been limited.”

During the closure the library is not accepting returns or offering hold pickups.

Any items that are waiting will be held for a week after the reopening date.

If patrons get email no-

tifications stating they have items due, they can disregard those emails until the library begins accepting returns again. The email notifications are automated. Library users can keep all of their items during the closure period, and any fines assessed will be forgiven when the items are returned later.

“If we have any additional spread among staff and need to extend our closure or otherwise alter the

services we’ll offer after Dec. 2, we will be sure to let you know,” she said.

Retherford recommends checking out their online resources at www.chetcolibrary.org. “Now is a great time to learn to use our eBook and Audiobook apps-Hoopla and Library2Go (the app is called Libby). You can also use our fun app Mango Languages to learn a new language or brush up on one you already know.”
