Doctor celebrates 50 years serving the community BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

Many members of the Curry County community came together to celebrate the anniversary of Doctor Reg Williams, a medical doctor who has been providing patient care in Curry County for 50 years. There was a full house inside the Showcase Building at the Curry County Fairgrounds in Gold Beach during the event on Oct. 28 to recognize Dr. Williams’ contribution to the community. Williams was honored by medical staff and board members, past hospital board members, local government officials, his family members, as well as longtime patients and community members. There were many accolades, a lot of laughs, and a couple of tears shed throughout the open house. For anyone attending the event, it quickly became clear that Williams has become a staple of the community he has served over many decades. Williams has been providing Please see DOCTOR Page A2

Raising funds to replace marching band uniforms Lieutenant

serves 25 years with Brookings PD

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

The Brookings-Harbor High School marching band has been showing up in a big way and holding their own in competitions against much larger schools in Oregon. They recently got third place in their division at a competition in Grants Pass. “The band has really improved over the past two years, and we have been competing against schools that are twice our size,” said Brookings-Harbor High School volunteer Rochelle Jenkins. Unfortunately, Jenkins said, there is still one major component of the marching band that needs improvement. “One of the major comments we’ve received is that our uniforms are very old,” she said. “It’s time for a polishing.” The uniforms are so old – in fact – that it’s possible that some of the marching band’s parents could have Please see BAND Page A3

Brookings-Harbor High School students look sharp in their marching band uniforms and have taken good care of them over the years, but many of the 26-year-old uniforms are falling apart.

Brookings roller rink opens for family fun BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN The Pilot

A pair of local entrepreneurs recently opened a brand new roller skating rink in the Brookings-Harbor Shopping Center. They transformed a large empty space into a family-friendly area with roller skaters of all ages circling the track, enjoying concession food and drinks and playing arcade games. Allison and Matt Bacus said the idea to open a roller rink came out randomly when they were touring the complex for their business, Coastline Curb Appeal Painting and Construction, which is being contracted to give the shopping complex a facelift. “When we first got the contract we were walking through the complex with the owner and I just happened to mention ‘Wouldn’t this be cool if someone made this into a roller rink?’” said Allison Bacus. “I wasn’t thinking us,” she said with a laugh. But a couple of weeks later she said her husband Matt came up to Please see RINK Page A2

Crescent City family members Shellee, Tom, Ryan and Amara got festive for their skate session with Harbor Skate on Sunday, Oct. 30. Community members of all ages were already creating memories together during opening weekend – laughing, crashing and picking each other up – while they rolled around the rink.

INDEX

The month of October marked Brookings Lieutenant Donny Dotson’s 25th year of service working with the Brookings Police Department. He was recognized by Police Chief Kelby McCrae during a recent city council meeting. McCrae said although Dotson didn’t like being in the spotlight, he wanted to acknowledge and celebrate the occasion, “which anywhere is a huge accomplishment, let alone law enforcement.” “There are few people that are in law enforcement that can say they have been in it 25-years. I’ve had the pleasure working with him for 20-years now and the last four as chief,” McCrae said. “I very much value his insight and knowledge and the ease of which to work with him,” said the police chief about Dotson. “I think together we have been able to accomplish a lot together … and we work as a team very well.” Brookings Mayor Hedenskog said in the years he has been with the council, there have “been nothing but accolades throughout the town” for Lieutenant Dotson. Former law enforcement officer and current council member Brad Alcorn described Dotson as “one of the most well-rounded officers in the county.” Dotson thanked the council for helping to create an atmosphere where someone wants to raise a family and stay somewhere for 25-years. Dotson had multiple family members present with him during the ceremony. He credited his stickto-itiveness and persistence in his career to his parents. “Twenty five years sounds like a long time, until you are sitting in a room with your mother who recently retired after 50-years with the same employer,” he said. “My dad also worked here for thirty-three.” Dotson will continue to make sure the Brookings Police DepartPlease see 25 YEARS Page A2

her and said, ‘I went over all of the numbers and we are going to open a skating rink.’ “Then a week later we were signing the lease,” Allison said. It was one of those comments that just kind of came out – but it stuck. “Sometimes I think we are crazy and we might have lost our minds but I think it will all pay off in the end,” Allison said. Allison and Matt have a large family – with a total of eight kids – five of which still live at home. Allison

said when their family moved here a little more than three-years ago, she was disappointed with the lack of family-friendly things to do. “Where we moved from there was a lot to do, and I thought if we are staying here we might as well make the best of it – and improve it for other families as well. I am thankful we can do that,” she said. “The community needs a positive place to create memories with their families.” It appeared that community members were doing just that during opening weekend – laughing, crashing and picking each other up – while they rolled around the rink.

The owners also gave children a chance to leave their mark on the skating rink on Sunday, Oct. 30 by painting their hands and leaving their print on the wall of the café. The Harbor Skate event last weekend was a “soft opening.” The owners have plans to expand the business to include about 65 additional arcade games and a new slot car racing track. Slot car racing is a miniature racing game with powered vehicles operated by the user with hand held controllers – and the cars go very fast. Right now, roller skating is fully open at Harbor Skate. The schedule is being broken up into two-hour sessions, with a two-and a-half hour family session on weekends. The owners strongly encourage roller skaters to book online for their sessions. This helps with staffing and ensures that people won’t have to wait in line during their skating time. By registering online the public can also see what times sessions start and end. They can also find out about and sign up for special sessions being held throughout the week, like a timeslot for toddlers and young children to learn to skate with their parents, a senior 55 and over time slot and a 18+ adults only slot during the nighttime on weekends. Most sessions cost $12.50 and include skate rentals. To learn more about Harbor Skate and to book a session visit www.vagaro.com/harborskate or go to their page on Facebook www.facebook. com/harbor.skate.brookings. Harbor Skate is located at 97900 Shopping Center Ave Unit 8 Brookings.

Over the years, Williams was an instructor for EMS and ambulance services in Curry County. He has also been a chief of staff for the hospital and was part of the strategic management team. “He has been a great supporter of the hospital and he encouraged the rebuild of the old general hospital

to the new. He also helped secure the land where the Curry Medical Center sits in Brookings. So he’s always been a staunch advocate for healthcare in Curry County – which we can all say is one of our better attributes here now,” said Hensley. Today, Williams is a local physician with North Bend Medical Center, and currently serves as a member of CHN's Medical Executive Committee. “He is what it means to be a rural medical doctor,” said Derral Hawthorne, Physician Assistant and Curry Health Network Board of Directors. Being a physician is about learning and growing, said past board member Bo Shindler. “Healthcare has changed a lot over the trajectory of 50 years,” Shindler said. Williams isn’t afraid to step in and help people through difficult situations and through the changing times, he said. CHN Medical Staff President and General Surgeon, Jessica Carlson, referred to Williams as an “institution.” “You have saved countless lives in Curry County and we thank you for that,” she said. Curry Health Network CEO Virginia (Ginny) Williams spoke at the event first as CEO and second as his wife, teasing, “I swore I would never marry a doctor.” Ginny met Reg Williams shortly after accepting her job with Curry Health Network while celebrating the “groundbreaking of the hospital that sits proudly in the middle of our town.” She said she looked over at Williams and saw tears in his eyes. “This was a dream of his since he started in 1972 – to bring the community better health care.” As a wife she says her husband gives his patients his cell phone number. Whether it’s a holiday or a movie night with popcorn, he often gets a phone call from a patient. “'I say don’t you get tired of this?’ and he says, ‘No, I never get tired of this. I love my patients.’ He is truly such a special person to me and many others,” Ginny Williams said.

OBITUARIES Patrick (Butch) Bailey 1946-2022

Patrick (Butch) Bailey was born in Remagen Germany in 1946. Born to Ruth Siewert Bailey and Har-old Bailey, he came to America when he was four years old, speaking German only. He learned Eng-lish quickly and enjoyed reading and writing. Pat wrote and told many scary stories as a kid subse-quent to collecting toys many years later, especially life size ghouls and other horror flick monsters which he displayed at his home in Brookings. Needless to say, Halloween was his favorite holiday. His family and friends knew him as a “generous and gentle soul” and was always a good listener. He had a good sense of humor and after telling a joke he would laugh the hardest and many times, if the listeners didn’t get it, he would tell it over again until he got a laugh out of everyone. He was a loving and faithful son to his elderly parents and visited them often, helping with household chores for many years. Pat had two sons, Mark and Gregory, enjoyed his home in Sutter Creek, California and was a faithful husband to his wife, Patricia. Later they divorced and Pat moved to Brookings, Oregon after retiring from the mill in Sutter Creek. He said he always loved the ocean. Pat enlisted in the Navy in 1964 and spent a few years in Vietnam during which time he manned a patrol boat on the Mekong Delta. He was injured by enemy fire but later declined a Purple Heart for his support and bravery during that time. That was one experience he never talked about. After spending a considerable time on the “high seas” on the U.S.S. Iwo Jima, sea life made a huge impression on him that moving to Brookings seemed the logical thing to do. He loved walking the

Coastal Home Health & Hospice celebrates National Hospice and Palliative Care Month Throughout the month of November, Coastal Home Health & Hospice will be joining organizations across the nation in hosting community activities which recognize National Hospice and Palliative Care Month (NHPCM). This year’s NHPCM theme is “meeting you where you are.” For more than 40 years, hospice has helped provide interdisciplinary, supportive care to millions of people, allowing them to spend their final months wherever they call home and surrounded by their loved ones. Hospice teams craft plans of care that ensure pain management, therapies, and treatments all center on the patients’ and their loved ones’ goals and

beach, collecting driftwood and taking photos of the fabulous sunsets that he so often got to see. He felt very much at home in Brookings, making it his last home there for over twenty years. Pat’s youngest son Gregory joined him a few years ago, moving to Brookings to assist him in his can-cer recovery and enjoyed many good times together. It was easy for Pat to make friends as he was friendly and enjoyed the company of others. He also enjoyed going to the casino and found friendship, good food, and adopted a new hobby too! Pat’s good disposition, generosity, humor, and friendliness will always be his hallmark as those who knew him and loved him will always remember him with those particular qualities. Pat is survived by his two sons, Gregory Bailey of Brookings, Oregon, Mark Bailey of Sutter Creek, California; two brothers, Gary Bailey of Arnold, California; Gordon BaileySiewert of Valley Springs, California and one sister, Diane Bailey-Maupin of Fall River Mills, California. He also had in-laws, nieces, and nephews, all of whom will remember him as a fun and caring person who shared many happy times with him, too numerous to enumerate. He will be greatly missed! wishes. Hospice care also provides emotional support and advice to help family members become confident caregivers and adjust to the future with grief support for up to a year. “At the heart of hospice is meeting patients and their loved ones where they are during difficult times when support is needed most,” said Ben Marcantonio, COO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “National Hospice and Palliative Care month recognizes the crucial role hospice and palliative care providers play in caring for their communities year-round.” Each year, over one million Medicare beneficiaries receive care from hospices across the United States. When a patient is not eligible for hospice care, they may benefit from community-based palliative care.

Gather your own “flock” of friends and family members to run/walk off some of the extra weight you pack on during Thanksgiving dinner. The 13th annual Gold Beach Rotary TURKEY TROT will take place the Saturday following Thanksgiving, November 26, at 9 a.m. The flat 5K (3.1 miles) course through the port and on the west side of the Gold Beach airport is manageable for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. Everyone is welcome to participate in this fun, family-friendly community event. Parents may push strollers, and kids younger than 10 may ride their bikes. Well-behaved dogs on a leash are also welcome, but be sure to bring poop-bags to clean up your dog’s messes. There is a NEW starting location this year. Participants will meet at the Jerry’s Rogue Jets ticket office, 29985 Harbor Way, next to the Cannery Building at the port. Registration will begin at 8 a.m., and the race will start at 9 a.m. sharp. The entrance fee will be the donation of a minimum of two cans of food (or other non-perishable food items) per participant.

worn the same uniforms their children are wearing today. The uniforms were purchased in 1996 and are 26-years-old. Jenkins said she found out just how old the uniforms were when she offered to look into getting them drycleaned. “There was some concern from the dry cleaner as to whether or not they could tolerate being dry cleaned,” she said. The students look sharp in the uniforms and have taken good care of them over the years, but many of the uniforms are falling apart. So Jenkins set a goal to get the marching band into new uniforms before the Brookings Azalea Festival over Memorial Day weekend. “That’s a big showcase and the end of the school year hurrah – especially for the kids that are seniors – their last performance is in the parade. It would be huge to send our seniors off in bright beautiful new uniforms that will hopefully last for many years to come – but hopefully not another 26 years,” Jenkins said. Each uniform is $300 and Jenkins goal is to raise $25,000. Rochelle Jenkins daughter, Emily Jenkins, has been in the High School Marching Band as a flute player and now as a member of the color guard. Jenkins said she has seen her daughter, and other students in the marching band,

develop lifelong skills while participating in the marching band. “It teaches you cooperation and working with others, even those you might not get along with all of the time,” she said. “You make a commitment. You have to be there for practices and everyone is counting on you to do your part. These kids are really good about bringing their piece in and they work together very well because they count on each other,” Jenkins said. “Not to mention, a love of music keeps your stress levels down. Everything kids have is plugged in – phones, computer, video games – it’s a constant deluge. When they are in the band, that’s put away and it teaches kids to

be present,” she said. “That’s something we need to focus more on.” The Bruins High School parent said she’s seen staff and other parent volunteers work hard to make improvements to the school in the past few years “to bring it back up to the level we want it to be.” This would be another improvement that would raise the spirits of the marching band – and the impression of the school to all of the kids, she said. Anyone who would like to donate can take part in a Little Caesars’ pizza fundraiser or donate straight to the band. Jenkins said one of her children previously had a Little Caesars’ fundraiser and it was her favorite one to participate in. Each element

in the pizza kit comes in individual packets and it is freezer friendly. Plus, friends and family in any location can help raise money, she said. There is also a link to donate on the “BHHS Marching Band Uniform Fund” Facebook page to purchase freezer-friendly pizza, crazy bread and cookie dough kits from Little Caesars in support of the marching band uniform fund. Each kit purchased will raise $6 toward the marching band uniforms. Additionally, anyone interested in donating money directly can go into U.S. Bank and write a check to Bruins Music Foundation – with a note “Uniform Fund” and the money will go directly to the marching band’s fundraiser.

Disease outbreak in sea lions has potential to spread Officials urge beachgoers to keep pets on leash said there isn't any reason to believe it will impact the larger population of sea lions in Oregon. There are no rescue and rehabilitation options for sick or injured seals and sea lions in Oregon. The state policy is to minimize disturbance from people and to let nature take its course, according to the Oregon Marine Mammal Stranding Network. “There are currently no efforts to treat the sea lions (for leptospirosis) because it is something that occurs naturally,” Durham said. She said to her knowledge there is no correlation between climate change or other ocean health issues that is currently contributing to the current disease outbreak. But because leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease - meaning that people can get infected from animals and vice versa – wildlife officials are encouraging dog and horse owners to discuss the merits of vaccination for leptospirosis with their veterinarian. Brookings, Oregon veterinarian technician assistant Robi Chance says the leptospirosis vaccine is common and recommended for dogs in areas along the Oregon Coast. Leptospirosis is a disease that is not only carried by sea lions, but other wildlife such as deer and raccoons. Chance, who has been in the veterinary field for 30 years, said she encourages pet owners to keep their pets contained at the beach. “There’s a lot of things that they can get into on the

Wildlife officials always encourage humans and their pets to keep their distance from sea lions and other marine mammals on the beach. A recent outbreak of disease among sea lion populations is giving people and their pets yet another reason to steer clear of marine mammals while they walk along the beach. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife reported an increase in the number of stranded sea lions along the entire Oregon Coast – from Brookings to Astoria. Many of these sick and deceased sea lions have suffered from leptospirosis – a disease that can be passed along to animals and people. The Oregon Marine Mammal Stranding Networ documented over 150 sick or dead sea lions along the Oregon coast since the current outbreak began in late July 2022. Necropsies on seven sea lions confirmed all tested positive for leptospirosis. Meghan Durham, a representative for Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said leptospirosis is a naturally occurring bacteria that causes disease in sea lions and other wildlife. “It can happen in small numbers every year, and sometimes you get larger sporadic outbreaks of the disease,” Durham said. Although the outbreak is happening in numbers larger than usual, Durham

There are a few possible ways dogs can contract leptospirosis, including if they “roll” in a deceased animals with the disease, bite or ingest parts of an animals with the disease, or by drinking water that is contaminated with urine from a diseased animal.

or dead sea lions. Close encounters with people can be harmful and continued disturbances may cause stress, including causing mothers to abandon their pups. Brookings resident Bob Oneida said he was a recent witness to a sick and dying sea lion on the Southern Oregon Coast. “It had crawled up onto the beach but was laying sideways to the ocean. The tide was coming in and the waves were washing over it a little further each time. Finally the waves started going over its’ head. It picked

its’ nose up high enough to get out of the water, but as soon as the wave receded it dropped its’ head to the sand,” Oneida said. “It was having a lot of trouble. Its’ breathing was very labored,” Oneida said. Oneida said several people were there watching the sea lion with him at Sporthaven Beach, including one with a dog – and the dog approached the sea lion. Leptospirosis can be serious and fatal to dogs. Infection of the liver or kidneys can be fatal for animals if the infection

progresses, causing severe damage to these organs. Veterinarian technician Chance says it is best to vaccinate dogs because if they do get the disease it can be difficult and expensive to treat. It is also rare but possible that dogs with leptospirosis can transmit the disease to their owners. Sick or injured seals, sea lions, whales or dolphins can be reported to 1-800-4527888.

Letters to the Editor

Guest Column

Hats off to a determined woman By BETSY MARSTON Elouise Cobell Day will be celebrated on November 5 in Montana, but many people in the West may not recognize her name. They may not know the story of her almost 20-year struggle to win justice for Native Americans from the U.S. government, which for decades botched the management of natural resources owned by individual tribal members. Yet 13 years ago, Blackfeet Tribal member and banker Elouise Cobell finally won a class-action lawsuit against the government, which settled the case by paying out $3.4 billion to Native American citizens and tribal nations. The case was one of the largest class-action suits in U.S. history, and the presiding judge issued a blistering judgment against the Department of Interior. He called Interior a “dinosaur” agency that allowed “outright villainy” to persist. And who was Elouise Cobell, the woman who brought the federal government to its knees? The great-granddaughter of Mountain Chief, a historic leader of the Blackfeet Nation, she was born on November 5, 1945. Her tribal name was Yellow Bird Woman. Seeing a need, she founded the Blackfeet National Bank, the first national bank owned by a tribe on a reservation, and made sure it offered education, ensuring that young people could become financially literate while also encouraging entrepreneurs. Because she was a banker, she began looking into how the federal government kept failing its trust responsibilities, sending out checks only sporadically and without explanation. She asked basic questions of four different Interior Secretaries — Ken Salazar, Richard Kempthorne, Gale Norton and Bruce Babbitt. She wanted a clear accounting of how much money came into the Federal Government from tribal leases for mining, oil and gas, logging, minerals and grazing. And what she particularly wanted to know was how royalties were determined for more than 300,000 tribal landowners. Answers weren’t forthcoming. But she spotted a damning pattern: Native Americans had been systematically cheated for generations. What was worse, she said, was learning that they were still being cheated. She could not even find any accounts existing before 1972, which led her to call the Interior Department’s management a “forensic mess.” But early on, when she confronted Interior staffers, she said she was told to go away “and learn how to read an account statement.” Cobell may not have seemed like a firebrand, but she was stubborn. Finally, she told law students at

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Betsy Marston

Tufts University in 2010, she became enraged. “People would come to the bank and tell me, ‘I could do this or that if I could get my money.’” But years passed, “and many people I fought for had passed away.” At the beginning of what became her long campaign, Cobell said that when she first approached the Federal Government, she assumed she’d certainly “get somebody to listen.” But writing letters got her nowhere. Traveling to Washington to meet with those in charge also failed, and one Interior Secretary, she said, refused to talk with her at all. After five tribes banded together in an effort to force Senate hearings, they, too, were stymied. Meanwhile, Indigenous people were still being cheated. It was President Barack Obama and the Congress that finally settled her class action suit in 2009, awarding $1.4 billion to the landowners and $1.7 billion to tribal nations, which still uses some of that money to buy back land. The Cobell Scholarship Fund was also created to honor her work as lead plaintiff. Cobell won many honors before her untimely death at age 65, in 2011, including the Congressional Medal of Honor and a MacArthur Foundation “genius” award. In the words of Michael Munson, dean of Native American Studies at Montana’s Salish Kootenai College, she was “a warrior woman for American Indian people.” Besides being a banker, Cobell was also a wife and mother who ran a ranch with her husband, and not least, she was a diehard Elvis fan. In her funeral procession, every car radio was tuned to a station playing Elvis Presley songs. So, hats off to Elouise Cobell. May she continue to be celebrated as the Native American woman who made the federal government admit its wrongdoing, pay back a portion of what it owed, and finally correct an ongoing injustice. Betsy Marston is the editor of Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to spurring conversation about the West. From Montana, Anna Whiting Sorrell contributed to this opinion.

Why vote? Some people say it doesn't make a difference. However, this November 8, your vote will make a difference. A big difference for the future of Curry County. In the Curry County Commissioner race there are two candidates with very different priorities and backgrounds. On one hand there's Beth Barker-Hidalgo who is the paid director of the Homeless Coalition who recently applied for a $10,000,000 grant to buy hotels in Curry County. Some believe as I do that if it is provided, they will come. On the other hand, there's Brad Alcorn who has spent over 30 years of his life protecting and serving the community in which he lived and after retiring he has volunteered his time as a City councilman in Brookings, he has also volunteered his time as the Chair of the Curry County Budget Committee and as a reserved Curry County deputy sheriff. So, my question to you is; what direction is best? Beth's or Brad's? For me it is clearly Brad's, Join me in voting for Brad Alcorn, his service will help protect the culture of Curry County where Beth's priorities will be leading us towards what Portland has become in my opinion. Please don't forget to vote by November 8. Joe Wilson Gold Beach

I voted for Beth With the county commissioners becoming so belligerent that the sheriff had to step in, we have entirely too much testosterone floating around. A woman would improve this. Additionally, Beth has worked on numerous problems besetting the county. Alcorn, on the other hand, is a member of the Brookings City Council. Those mooncalves unanimously passed laws attacking the Christian religion including a tax on churches. This, of course, resulted in a lawsuit. The council creeps obviously did not consult a lawyer. No lawyer in his right mind would recommend a law which attacks fundamental Christian and Jewish practices. This is going to cost us money for increased insurance fees. Some lawyer should start another lawsuit to ensure that the council members who voted for this are responsible for the increased fees resulting from their stupidity. What should we expect next from these people? A new law that only licensed psychiatrists are allowed to pray for people?.Neither Alcorn nor any other member is this city council should ever be permitted to hold another elected or appointed government position. They have no problem making taxpayers pay unnecessary legal costs resulting from their outrageous actions. William West Brookings

No easy answers In response to the letter by Ann Williams (Oct. 23 Pilot), she is correct that the affordable housing shortage is "not unique to Brookings." I recently spoke to a Brookings resident who has been searching for affordable family housing in neighboring counties, and as far away as Eugene...but finding nothing. Most of the local housing shortage can be traced to economic factors (both state and federal), and also regulations mandated by lawmakers in Salem. Recent anti-landlord laws make long-term rentals a risky endeavor for property owners. Renters with pets, a poor credit history, or lacking sufficient income will struggle to find housing as landlords become more selective. For builders, statewide restrictions on developing farm or forested land diminish our capacity to

increase housing stock. Construction costs have skyrocketed and inflationary pressures are making it even more expensive to develop. Finally, the demand to purchase property here is very high. I speak to many new residents. They purchase homes here because Brookings is cleaner, safer and more beautiful than their previous hometown. As a Brookings city councilor and a member of the county budget committee, I can assure local residents that housing is an ongoing concern throughout our region. However, as a student of economics and governmental policy, there are obviously no 'easy answers.' The city and county don't own significant amounts of buildable land. We can't make the cost of construction go down. The typical Brookings home value, according to Zillow, is $510K, up over 12-percent in one year. People with money want to move here. If that continues, and I suspect it will, finding affordable housing will continue to be difficult.

Support for Mayor Ed Schreiber Hedenskog Brookings

City Council Ignores Attorney’s Advice Why am I, Teresa Lawson running for Brookings City Council? I have one more very important reason after the October 24th City Council Meeting: I am seriously concerned for our City when 3 of our 5 Councilors go directly against our City Attorney’s advice in a high stakes legal matter. The Council reversed course and voted to not terminate Janell Howard as City Manager, after one week earlier voting to terminate her. Councilor Morosky (my opponent for Council seat #4) changed her mind, but gave no reason for doing so. After over an hour long executive session the Council reconvened in open meeting. Councilor Alcorn said, “I would caution the Council to go against the City Lawyer’s advice.” Councilor McKinney added “I concur with that.” The vote was taken and Janell Howard is once again on administrate leave with full pay and benefits totaling $20,000 a month. When Mayor Hedenskog, along with Councilors Morosky and Shrieber ignore the City Attorney’s advice, and disregard the concerns of Councilors Alcorn and McKinney,who are retired law enforcement and have years of experience in legal matters; Brookings citizens need to take note. Our City currently has multiple legal matters that require good decisions by our leaders. Our City’s Insurance could increase even more than the $25,000 increase last year, which was the result of a recent lawsuit. As a Brookings City Counselor I will bring finance, business and legal knowledge from 26 years of experience in Financial Audits. . Our City should operate within the law. Our City Council should respect legal advice. We need responsible leadership and accountability. Teresa Lawson Candidate for Brookings City Council, Position 4 Brookings

Political Advantages As has been mentioned, political activities, speeches, narrative both written and spoken are all essentially fair game in the world of politics. But we should certainly take care when promoting ideas and penning them publicly that take license with the facts. When a candidate’s wording is changed or manipulated, and used by others for negative impact, then a war of words ensues. What a waste of time. A term to describe this kind of manipulation of verbal or written narrative is “cherry picking” or to use its more sophisticated, behavioral relative, “motivated reason-

I have had the pleasure of working with Mayor Ron Hedenskog for many years and I am glad he has chosen to continue his public service as Brookings Mayor for another term. Ron’s dedication to the citizens of Brookings is unmatched and his depth and breadth of knowledge is immense and critically important. We have worked together on a number of projects over the years to expand economic development opportunities and services to the residents of Brookings. Ron also understands the real need for affordable workforce housing in and around Brookings for not only the businesses to hire and retain employees, but overall quality of life for the community. Ron has been a staunch advocate for expanding the opportunities for needed healthcare services as well. Curry Medical Center on 5th street was a critical step forward for healthcare in Brookings. We worked together to expand and support the opening of its Emergency Department for the residents of Brookings to have the life saving opportunities of an E.R.. Coast Community Health has also been working with the Ron and the City of Brookings to add and expand primary care services to residents. I appreciate Ron’s understanding of these critical services and advocacy in expanding these opportunities. As we move forward, there are Federal resources coming to the state to flow to infrastructure projects in our communities. Ron has been engaged in these conversations and I look forward to working with him in finalizing Brookings priorities so that we can push for these needed resources for the community. Mayor Hedenskog has my support for all these reasons and so many more. His knowledge and dedicated service is needed now more than ever. Please support Ron Hedenskog for Mayor of Brookings. David Brock Smith Oregon State Representative

Rights and Responsibilities We talk a lot about our rights; but what about our responsibilities? The two are interconnected. Without responsibility there are no rights. We have the right to to vote; It is our responsibility to be informed voters. It is incumbent on each of us to read, research and to contemplate the issues on the ballot. It matters and should be thought about seriously. Think about the long term consequences of your vote and what are the unintended impacts of not voting. Every vote counts. This November 8th Vote Responsibly. Vote Democrat. Debra Worth Brookings

ing”. This approach can/is used to promote a political agenda. A key historical example to illustrate is: Winston Churchill – “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” To illustrate “cherry picking” or manipulation of a narrative by anyone, we can envision what a Churchill political opponent might write – “Democracy is the worst form of government.” Manipulation of words or using only a portion of a sentence from the narrative certainly changes the meaning, potentially, a 180 degree turnaround. Paints what Churchill said quite differently, doesn’t it? “Cherry picking” written and spoken words for purposes of others’ political advantage is initially effective, but when revealed, has a short shelf life. Thank you.

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 resched-

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.

The petition for probate requests that: Gabrielle Campbell be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

(This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Heavy traffic congestion linked to lower infant birthweight BY MOLLY ROSEBACH Guest Article

An Oregon State University study finds that traffic congestion is linked to

decreased birthweight for fullterm babies born to parents living near areas of heavy traffic, such as highways and freeways. Though the decrease was

relatively small, researchers say the cumulative effect of stop-and-go traffic on top of baseline air pollution from cars and other environmental contaminants could have sig-

nificant consequences at the population level, affecting up to 1.3 million babies per year based on location. The researchers found birthweights were an average of 29 grams, or about 1 ounce, lower for babies in the group with the highest exposure compared with babies with the lowest exposure. “We’ve had all these models to predict pollution, but they can’t measure congestion. With 10,000 vehicles on a road, if those 10,000 vehicles are doing stop-andgo traffic, there’s a lot more pollution that’s coming from cars,” said co-author Perry Hystad, an associate professor in OSU’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences. “There are health impacts specific from congestion that are not included in any environmental risk assessment or cost-benefit analysis, and those should start to be included.” Low birthweight can lead to a variety of problems for infants, including trouble breathing and neurological issues, but at a population level, researchers are looking more at long-term effects. “There’s a higher risk

of cardiovascular disease, cognitive impacts, premature mortality; a lot of long-term, life-course impacts,” Hystad said. “It’s not necessarily the acute events that happen during birth.” The study, published in the journal Science Advances, looked at 579,122 full-term births from 2015-2016 in Texas and matched maternal addresses with data from the Texas’ Most Congested Roadways database to map out proximity to heavy traffic areas. Specifically, researchers examined “traffic delay,” defined as the total person-hours of delay on the roadway multiplied by the length of each road segment in the buffer distances around maternal residences. Using traffic delay, they were able to calculate congestion emissions to learn the total pounds of carbon dioxide emitted by the cars. After adjusting for sociodemographic factors and environmental co-exposures, results showed that traffic delay within 500 meters of maternal residence was associated with an average birthweight decrease of 9 grams when comparing the highest- and lowest-exposure

groups. Babies born to parents who lived 300 and 100 meters from roadways experienced slightly larger impacts. To put that in perspective, Hystad said, prior research has found that maternal smoking leads to a roughly 150-gram decrease in birthweight, which is 5.3 ounces. An average fullterm baby in the U.S. weighs about 3,300 grams, which is 7.3 pounds. Based on roadway proximity to residential areas throughout the country, the researchers estimate that 1.3 million babies are born each year in regions close enough to be affected by pollution from congestion, roughly 27% of all births in the U.S. “A 9-gram decrease alone isn’t clinically significant, but this is sort of an indicator of the biological impacts that are happening, which will push some babies into a clinically relevant adverse impact,” Hystad said. “Often we’ll see this with air pollution — we’ll see a 2-3% increase in some impact, like mortality or cardiovascular disease — but when you multiply that by 27% of all births, that does translate into a substantial potential impact.”

includes four years of high school art and art history in college, and he often visited the works of old and modern masters at New York's major museums. Aside from these early studies, he is selftaught. Pete paints in a style that he calls “graphic realism.” His art has been displayed at shows from Grand Rapids, Michigan (ArtPrize) to Sacramento, California, Reno, Nevada, and Vancouver, Washington, as well as in galleries throughout Southern Oregon and Northern California. Pete is both a hiker and preservationist, who mostly paints outdoor scenes that impact him emotionally, though he also creates abstracts and still life scenes, as well as geometrical sculptures. Pete’s website—chasar. com—has links to his paintings, sculptures, and a book about his Arizona adventures and preservation work. The rest of the exhibit will be filled out with a variety of art created by the Manley Art Center members. Proceeds from the sale of artwork are shared between the artists and the Manley Art Center. The Manley uses its portion to further its mission to promote, through education, the appreciation, distribution, and enjoyment of fine arts and crafts.

details on that proposal at this time. The proposed $120 million annual figure would allocate $40 per resident to every incorporated city in Oregon, with a minimum allotment of $50,000 per municipality. From there, it would be up to local leaders to decide how to use the funds to best prevent or alleviate the homelessness crisis in their area. The mayors said that the approach would allow for flexibility to address an issue that affects all areas of the state, but in different ways. Cities have mostly been left to fend for themselves up to this point. The American Rescue Plan Act provided an infusion of

funds earlier this year that has helped to build some infrastructure to address the crisis in larger communities. But other than that, cities have been forced to piece together funding through grants and from their own limited budgets. The mayors noted that this dynamic constrains cities’ ability to address a dynamic crisis. It also puts smaller municipalities with less visible housing issues at a disadvantage when trying to secure funding. By allocating funding annually to be spent at each city’s discretion, the proposal would allow flexibility for cities to choose appropriate solutions for their context.

In larger municipalities, leaders could focus on building shelters and other large services facilities while smaller municipalities could use the money to increase affordable housing and other measures to prevent homelessness. The task force was formed in May of this year and has presented their recommendations to state representatives and senators, and all three gubernatorial candidates. When asked, the mayors said that Tina Kotek had reacted enthusiastically to the proposal, but stressed that they hoped any new governor would be open to it, as all have focused on the issue in their campaigns.

funding and support than minor party or unaffiliated candidates in recent history — vote-splitting is a concern for some voters. Voters in Portland and Multnomah County will also weigh in on ballot measures that would implement ranked-choice voting for county and city officials in future elections. Statewide, just 36% of Oregonians are satisfied with the political party they're registered with. "I just wish that there was something better because it just doesn't even seem effective anymore," Leanne Spivey, a Marion County resident in her 50s, said of the current election system. "I don't even feel like the average person, the average citizen or person that lives anywhere, their voice really matters," Spivey said. "It almost makes me not want to vote — but I do vote."

For many, ranked-choice voting or other voting systems seem confusing. Spivey said she was considering voting for either Christine Drazan or Betsy Johnson but was worried about splitting the vote by voting for Johnson. "If (ranked-choice voting) could help somebody make that decision, and not feel like their vote is wasted, it would probably be helpful, but I don't know how these things are tallied and messed around with," Spivey said. Benton County adopted ranked-choice voting for county commissioner races when there are more than three candidates. In Benton County, county commissioner is a partisan position, so ranked choice voting is only used if three or more parties nominate different candidates. The system was first used in 2020, but the winning candidates received more

than half the votes in the first round, so the additional rankings weren't necessary. Under ranked choice voting, voters rank candidates on their ballots. When elections officials receive ballots, they first total all the top-ranked candidates. If no candidate receives more than half of the votes, the candidate who received the fewest votes is eliminated. The votes that went to that candidate are then distributed to the second-choice candidates.

Mayors asking for millions to address homelessness across Oregon BY WILL CHAPPELL Country Media

A task force formed by the Oregon Mayor’s Association to address the homelessness crisis in the state has asked the state legislature to allocate more than $120 million in direct, annual funding for cities to address the issue. In a briefing on Monday, mayors from the task force explained that the money would be put to use most effectively by localities that to have lacked consistent funding to address the issue. They said that they would also be suggesting a one-time allocation to cities for capital improvement projects, although they did not have

Is Oregon doing its elections right? BY ANNA DEL SAVIO Oregon Capital Bureau

While Oregon's voting rate remains among the highest in the country, most Oregonians aren't satisfied with current election systems, a new poll finds. A survey conducted by the Oregon Values and Beliefs Center found that less than one-third of Oregonians think the process for electing the governor and state legislators should stay the same. One-third of Oregonians think voters should be able to rank their top three candidates, while 24% think there should be runoff elections if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. Alternative voting systems are increasingly on the minds of voters as the November election approaches. With Betsy Johnson running as an unaffiliated candidate for governor — with more

Threats to pets that roam outdoors Domesticated pets may have evolved from wild animals, but it has been some time since dogs were needed to hunt like wolves or domesticated cats had to survive like wild leopards or tigers. While pets can enjoy time outdoors, it’s important to avoid leaving them to their own devices for too long. The online health resource Healthcare for Pets says responsible pet ownership necessitates certain precautions to keep pets safe when they venture out of the home.

The following is a list of potential dangers that can affect pets outdoors. • Pesticides and poisons: Pet owners may use pet-friendly products in and around their homes. However, there’s no guarantee that your neighbors do the same. Common lawn and garden products, including insecticides and pesticides, may cause anything from mild irritations to toxic poisoning. • Weather: A fur coat does not offer complete protection from conditions like extreme weather. Pets can experience hypothermia or heat stroke if they are exposed to extreme weather for prolonged periods of time. • Automobiles: Dogs and cats that wander can be struck by vehicles

and/or ingest potentially harmful substances leaking from cars or trucks. Automotive coolant (antifreeze) is often sweet and brightly colored, which attracts curious pets. Ethylene glycol in coolant is fatal to dogs and cats if ingested. Outdoor cats may hide or seek warmth in car engines, putting them at risk for injury. • Exposure to illnesses: Young animals should not spend prolonged periods of time outdoors before they are vaccinated. However, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior recommends that pet parents begin taking puppies on walks and public outings as early as one week after their initial rounds of vaccinations (roughly seven weeks old) because this is the window of

time when socialization skills are learned. • Parasites: Bugs and parasites may be lurking outdoors. Parasitic worm larvae, fleas, mosquitoes, and ticks can be harmful to pets. Ask your vet about yearround flea/tick/heartworm preventatives if a pet spends time outdoors. • Other animals: Wild animals pose a risk to domesticated pets. They can pass illnesses on to pets or engage them in scuffles that result in injuries or even death. If companion animals are not spayed or neutered, pet owners may have to confront unexpected pregnancies after pets spend time outdoors. Pets that spend time outdoors should be supervised whenever they leave the confines of their homes.
