BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN

The Pilot

The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation invited the community to come together in healing remembrances and in loving acknowledgment of the Deeni' lives lost in the Chit-xu village massacre on February 15,1853 that consisted of forty houses at the mouth of the Chetco River.

The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation held the candlelight event to help heal their past and remember their ancestors who lived at the Chit-xu Taa-ghi at the mouth of the Chetco River at the Port of Brookings Harbor on Sunday, Dec. 18.

The event included the lighting of candles, a welcome and prayer, a history of the massacre and keynote speaker Dr. Virgil Moorehead Jr., a licensed clinical psychologist and director of Two Feathers Native American Family Services. Everyone in the community was invited

Heard endorses Brock Smith to take Senate seat

THE PILOT

Just days after he announced he was retiring from the Legislature at the end of the year, State Sen. Dallas Heard announced he was endorsing State Rep. David Brock Smith to be his replacement. Heard announced he was retiring from the Senate to spend more time with his family. He was elected to serve in the State House in 2015 and appointed to the Senate in 2018.

Superintendent hopes break will curtail illnesses

Since October, Oregon has been dealing with a surge in respiratory viruses. During a press conference on December 8, The Oregon Health Authority detailed the state's need for medical care professionals and the increasing

impacts of RSV, influenza, and COVID. One of the concerns is the uptick in cases for children, where there have been historic levels of respiratory disease.

Much like greater Oregon, Brookings-Harbor School District has felt the impacts of the surge in respiratory cases. Over the last two weeks, Super Intendant David

Marshall said many students have had to stay home sick, particularly younger kids.

"The trend is it's more the younger students. So the elementary has a larger percentage out," Marshall said. "I think over the last two weeks, they've approached even up to thirty percent of the kids out. We don't know specifical-

ly whether it's just flu, or RSV, or even COVID, but we do know that our kids are out sick."

Due to RSV, COVID, and the flu, Oregon has seen hospitalizations and emergency room visits spike to levels not even seen during the pandemic. OHA advises taking precautions such

"It has been an honor to have been chosen to be the voice for the people I have grown up knowing and loving,” said Heard. “Our district has seen many challenges over the years, and I have always given my all to meet them with faith and the peoples best interest in my heart. Representative Brock Smith has brought years of passionate devotion and legislative success to his native region of the coast while serving in the House of Representatives. I have always said that David is unequivocally the hardest working legislator in the State of Oregon and that remains true to this day. I fully support the good representative in succeeding me as the next senator for District 1 and encourage the people to grant him that opportunity. I firmly believe David is the champion we need to replace me as the voice of southwest Oregon," said Senator Heard.

Brock Smith has served in the Oregon House of Representatives since 2017 and is an assistant leader of the House Republican Caucus. He is a former Curry County commissioner, school board member, city council pres-

Nature’s Coastal Holiday Festival of Lights is brightening the spirits of hundreds of visitors who wander through holiday wonderland each day. The annual event began with a mere 22,000 lights in 1997 and has grown include more than 3 million dazzling lights. The 25-year-old Festival of Lights is a completely volunteer coordinated and staffed event. It is being held at Azalea Park and is open nightly from 5 to 9 p.m. through Dec. 27. The cost is $3 for adults and kids 12 and under are free. Cash only, please.

join hands rather than pull apart. We find there are more commonalities than differences if we can look at it that way,” said Sheryl Steinruck, the Tolowa Dee-ni Nation education director.

“Yes, the history is very negative,” Steinruck said. “But, my dad always said it’s not so much what happens to you that matters but how you deal with what happens to you because there is always going to be something –there is always oppression happening somewhere in the world.”

The Chetco people lived at the mouth of the river with at least nine major villages on two sides of the river from

the mouth to about 14 miles upriver. The main two villages were located at the river's mouth on the north and south banks, according to the Tolowa Dee-ni Nation.

The Tolowa Dee-ni Nation states that following the discovery of gold on the Klamath River in 1850, settlers poured into the Dee-ni Territory. Between 1851 and 1852 there were numerous conflicts between the Dee-ni and white settlers – precipitating a decade of massacres and attempts to exterminate Dee-ni people and their way of life.

Members of the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation started holding candlelight events at different massacre sites several years ago and are planning to hold several more.

here,” said Marva Jones, Tolowa Dee-ni' Culture & Language Manager.

Tribal members said they often encounter people who live here, and who grew up here, who don’t know about the Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation, and the indigenous people who perished from the violence of white settlers in their ancestral homelands.

“I want them to know that we survived this. We are still here today and we are still a strong people and can offer good things to our community,” Jones said.

“We all need each other in some way and we need to be more open to each other and understand a history we aren’t taught in school,” she said. “I want my kids to know our truth. We were always taught our truth in our homes. We have to acknowledge these things to heal from them.”

Community Calendar of Events

The exhibit, on display from December 5th through December 30th, features a collection of work produced by the children who participated in the Manley Art Center’s Children’s Art Program (CAP) throughout 2022.

A wide variety of pieces will be on display showcasing the diverse subject matter taught through Manley’s CAP program.

The Manley Art Center believes it is our obligation to see that the children of this community have access to quality art education that enhances their understanding of fine art and their skills to create fine art.

The district will also ensure that kids missing school due to sickness will stay caught up on material when returning to the classroom.

Opinion: Attacks on Press Freedom Are an Attack on Democracy

By WILLIAM MCKENZIE InsideSources.com

Alfonso Esquivel. Antonio de la Cruz. Armando Lopez. Fredid Roman. Heber Vasquez. Jose Arenas. Juan Lopez. Juan Muniz. Luis Ramirez. Maria Lopez. Roberto Barrera. Sheila Oliveira. Yessenia Falconi.

Remember those names. They are the 13 journalists killed this year in Mexico, a country that the Committee to Protect Journalists says has turned into the most dangerous country for journalists.

Mexico’s drug cartels pose a particular obstacle to independent journalism. Physical threats are a reality for some journalists, while the cartels’ presence in Mexico’s northern states and along the Pacific Coast can lead to journalists censoring themselves.

Unfortunately, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has not firmly upheld the importance of a free press in a democracy. After the slaying this year of a Mexican journalist, the Inter American Press Association called upon the leader to curtail his harangues against journalists who criticize his administration.

Mexico is far from the only country in the Americas where journalists face personal and professional barriers. Nicaragua. El Salvador. Honduras. Guatemala. Venezuela. They are among the nations that CPJ considers serious abusers of independent journalism. So does Freedom House, which gives those five countries a score of two or lower on its four-point 2022 ratings for media freedom.

For example, longstanding dictator Daniel Ortega suspended 17 radio and TV stations in Nicaraguain September. Two months earlier, his government raided the homes of a reporter and a photojournalist working for La Prensa newspaper. The government also detained two drivers working for the independent operation.

The list continues. In June, authorities canceled the legal status of the independent Trinchera de la Noticia. In March, a judge found the publisher of La Prensa guilty of money laundering after a closed-door trial. In February, another journalist received nine years for conspiring to undermine Nicaragua’s integrity and distributing false information.

These are only some of the attempts to control a free press in Latin America. Increasingly, journalists and media organizations find their ability to provide reliable reporting and in-depth investigations restricted in some countries. The limits are part of a larger unraveling of democracy across Latin America. The question is, what to do about these challenges?

Most important, Latin American civil society leaders who value a free press should embrace efforts

Fortunately, some efforts exist.

During this summer’s Summit of the Americas, the Organization of American States helped launch the Center for Media Integrity of the Americas. The center, which plans on becoming an independent entity, seeks to fight back against pressures on journalists, including from governments, drug cartels and corporate interests.

In September, the center hosted a conference featuring Venezuelan, Cuban and Nicaraguan journalists. The reporters told their stories, explained how attacks on freedom of the press are linked to declines in democracy, and advocated for the cause of independent journalism in the Americas.

The region also needs trained journalists. Here, too, numerous efforts exist.

The Consortium to Support Independent Journalism in Latin America invests in journalists doing investigative reporting in Latin America. University of Texas-Austin’s Knight Center equips future reporters to work in the region. And the Center for Media Integrity of the Americas will host a competition to award Latin American journalists money to pursue their reporting projects.

Training journalists requires money, of course. Private philanthropy, especially, can help provide necessary resources.

Government assistance for getting a vibrant press off the ground in democratically challenged nations can only go so far before it looks like governments are spinning stories.

The United States cannot fix this problem alone, but our voice matters. The Biden administration rightly acknowledged this spring the need for journalistic freedom. The United States needs to continue promoting this idea, and not just on anniversaries like World Press Freedom Day.

The larger reason democrats around the world should stand against the undermining of a free flow of information relates to what Rosental Alves, director of the University of Texas at Austin’s Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas, says: “When you kill a journalist, you also are killing an idea: the right to gather and distribute information.”

We live in a time when disinformation abounds, often through social media or big microphones. Citizens, especially where democracy is in retreat, need access to reliable sources of information and news, the kind that a vibrant free press provides. Without such, democracy cannot take root, much less thrive.

Opinion: Banning Oil Exports Is Not Sound Economics

By RAYMOND J. KEATING InsideSources.com

Just ahead of the midterm elections, the Biden administration and its allies launched a last-ditch effort to shift the narrative around high gasoline prices, pointing the finger at energy companies and threatening new taxes and potential market restrictions. Unfortunately, bad politics breeds bad policies, with potentially devastating results for American businesses and consumers.

It’s a tale as old as Washington: politically motivated “solutions” may sway some, but the facts say otherwise. For example, one idea under consideration by the administration is banning gasoline, diesel and other refined petroleum exports in the hope of mitigating high prices at the pump.

The White House has even requested the Department of Energy to assess the possible effect of banning refined petroleum products. Further, Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., introduced a bill last month that would temporarily prohibit the export of motor fuel during periods when pump prices are high.

In reality, this type of government intervention imposes barriers on free markets, and leads to distortions that inevitably result in less production, continued high prices and grim consequences for our allies abroad.

Increasing prices cannot be solved with naive policies like an export ban. Gasoline and other refined products are globally traded commodities, with the United

States representing 12.1 percent of refined oil exports globally. Basic economics teaches us that a decrease in the supply of a service or commodity — like oil — while demand remains the same means the price tends to rise. More product in the market lowers prices globally, not just in the United States. Alternatively, banning the export of refined products would likely decrease inventory levels — why would a company invest if it can’t sell it? — and place more upward pressure on fuel prices.

According to a study conducted by the American Council for Capital Formation, refined products originally slated for export would be trapped in our coastal refineries, mainly driven by the lack of infrastructure to transport and divert these products from Gulf region refineries to the East and West coasts. This would ultimately lead to refinery capacity decreases domestically and an increase in product prices in the global market. The same study concluded that “more than twothirds of U.S. consumers will see price increases, including average increases of more than 15 cents per gallon.”

Additionally, we cannot turn a cold shoulder to our allies. During the first half of 2022, the United States exported record amounts of petroleum products. For example, U.S. propane exports to Europe increased by 51 percent and set a record of 349,000 barrels a day in June.

And when the European Union’s new refined petroleum products sanctions on Moscow take effect in

February, our allies will look to the United States as a global leader in exports to help fill that void.

Freeing markets from government controls, and relying on private competition and cooperation, enhances efficiencies, investment and production — all subject to consumer sovereignty. Take, for example, the removal of the decades-long ban on crude oil exports in 2015.

ºA study commissioned by the energy industry this year found that this policy reversal led to an increase of $161 billion in U.S. gross domestic product, the addition of a yearly average of 48,000 jobs, and reduced gas prices by an annual average of 4.6 cents per gallon. Clearly, embracing isolationist policies like restricted exports does not work in our economy’s favor.

The United States is facing increased global energy demand, constrained supply and geopolitical instability — a situation that would be made far worse with these misguided policies. Banning or restricting the export of refined petroleum products or crude oil is not the answer in the near term or over the long haul.

The administration and political allies ought to focus on providing tax and regulatory relief for the U.S. energy industry and not meddling in critical international supply chains in the name of politics.

Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be

a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www.nationwideposting. com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000901-22-1. 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 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 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000901-22-1 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.

Health foundation gives more than $1 million to support Curry County

BY BREEANA LAUGHLIN

Curry County Health Foundation reached a huge milestone at their latest grant-giving ceremony. The foundation has now given more than $1 million in grant funds to community organizations throughout the South Coast.

Leaders from several community organizations joined in to celebrate the occasion, as well collect their grant funds, during the awards ceremony at the Curry Public Library in Gold Beach on Dec. 14. The nonprofit leaders and community volunteers said the grant funds will help them achieve important goals for their organizations.

Curry Health Network representative Alicia Kelly said they will use the grant money to buy medical equipment that alleviates pain in medical diagnosis.

Lena Hawthorne, of Coast Community Health, said grant funds will support medical centers at the Brookings Harbor and Central Curry School Districts to meet the needs of children and families who have little or no health care.

“We don’t have lot of health care access here and we are hoping to change that generationally – and to be able to seek out healthcare before it becomes an emergency,” Hawthorne said during the grant awards ceremony.

Chetco Activity Center representatives said they will use grant funds to repair their handicap accessibility door – and make their offerings more accessible to the community.

Members of the Curry County Search and Rescue Team brought equipment they purchased with past grant funds to the awards ceremony. Past grant money bought rescue bags for overnight survival and lightweight raingear last year. Search and Rescue coordinators plan to finish outfitting their crew of volunteers with the survival packs using newly acquired grant funds.

Curry County Aquatic Safety program manager Luke Martinez said he will use grant money for a first aid trauma kit and an AED for their patrol vehicle out in the field. The Curry County Aquatic Safety program manager used previous grant funds for equipment that aided in a lifesaving rescue mission to save a man whose boat had capsized earlier this year.

“Curry Health Network provided funding for some essential equip-

ment – a rescue board and a rescue tube. They have been used numerous times in the past year. The rescue equipment has been used in our junior lifeguard program. That equipment was also most recently used to save a man’s life in front of the Rogue River,” Martinez said.

“So we thank you very much for your participation and help in saving lives in our county,” he said to Curry Health Network staff and board members.

Curry Health Network Executive Director Janet Hoffman said their board is passionate about improving health in this rural community.

“They work tirelessly all year to bring in donations that support positive health outcomes in Curry,” Hoffman said in a press release published after the grant ceremony. “Even as the board has evolved over the years, ex-board members who continuously work with us and their dedication to this foundation have made all the difference in the world.”

passage of critical wildfire prevention measure

personnel on wildfire prevention and response in Oregon and nationwide.

“I’m proud that Congress has passed my provision to support the Oregon National Guard with rapid response and wildfire prevention training,” Wyden said. “This provision will help make sure that Oregon communities have the support they need from well-trained and well-

equipped Guard members when the next fire season hits.

"I’ll keep up the fight to secure further resources to combat wildfires and keep Oregonians safe.”

“With wildfires getting more and more intense thanks to climate chaos, we need all hands on deck to battle these blazes and keep our communities safe.

Getting Oregon National

Guard members trained and equipped to help fight wildfires has been a huge win for bolstering our wildfire defenses across the state, especially during the times when our resources are stretched thinnest,” said Senator Merkley.

“This provision to support the Oregon National Guard members will help ensure they continue to have the training and resources needed to keep Oregonians across the state protected when wildfires break out.”

“Having your Oregon Guard members pre-trained and ready to respond is invaluable,” said Lt. Col. Stephen Bomar, Director of Public Affairs for the Oregon Military Department.

“It supports a rapid mobilization and ensures we have the trained personnel available to save the lives and property of our fellow Oregonians.”

The Wyden-led wildfire prevention and response measure was included and passed as a part of the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) last week.

Sniper Eddie

Sniper is a Belgian Malinois that was rescued from Southern California. He is VERY loving once he gets to know you! He is very social with other dogs and would love to have a new family that understand the needs of a malinois. He appears to be house trained, and is good in a home with other dogs and cats.

home res each year are started by pets. Pet owners can implement strategies recommended by the American Kennel Club and ADT Security Services to reduce the risk of re in their homes.

• Be especially careful around and mindful of open ames. Pets can easily tip over candles and gain access to replaces when open ames are burning.

after pets so they are not left unattended around ames. Even candles on replace mantels pose a hazard as curious cats can leap onto mantelpieces and tip over the candles.

• Cover stove knobs. Stove knobs are another potential re hazard in homes with curious pets. Knob covers prevent pets from accidentally turning on burners when no one is looking. Pet owners who let their pets roam free around the house while they’re at work or out running errands should cover stove knobs before leaving their homes.

• Purchase ameless candles. Flameless candles are a great option for pet owners whose pets are energetic or especially curious. Flameless candles are battery-powered and provide ambient light without an open ame.

• Consider crating pets or limiting access to certain areas if animals are not yet house-trained. Puppies and kittens are especially curious and eager to explore their new surroundings.

That makes it easy for them to nd trouble even in areas where pet owners think there isn’t any. Con ne pets to crates during times of day when you plan to light candles or the replace or install gates to keep them out of rooms where they can access open ames.

• Exercise caution when using a grill and/or repit. Charcoal grills and repits are not indoors, but they can still pose a re hazard outside. If necessary, keep pets indoors when grilling or sitting around the repit. If you want them to be outdoors at these times, prevent them from accessing areas where the grill and repit are located.

Pets tend to be curious, and that curiosity can be dangerous around open ames. Some simple tips can reduce the risk of home res caused by pets.
