Permanent indoor mask proposal takes shape By Zoe Gottlieb Country Media
Oregonians may soon face an indefinite indoor mask mandate. As the expiration of the state’s temporary indoor mask rule draws near, a permanent replacement is under review by state health officials.
The Oregon Health Authority filed a proposed rulemaking notice Dec. 10 with the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office, requesting changes to the current rule which expires Feb. 8, 2022. The proposed permanent rule, if effected, would replace the current 180-day temporary rule with one of “indefinite” duration.
“This is necessary to control COVID-19, reduce hospitalizations and deaths, and provide general health protection to people in Oregon,” the proposed rule change states. The rule generally applies to all businesses in Oregon. The OHA is also proposing a civil penalty of $500 per person per
day for non-compliance with the rule. In addition, the rule change would grant the Oregon State Public Health Director or the Oregon State Health Officer “the authority to rescind and reinstate all or parts of the rule,” according to the notice. The rule can be repealed if

It can take a century for an Oregon Myrtlewood tree to grow to commercial size, and honing its strong, heavy wood into something that can be taken home is also painstakingly slow. It’s worth the wait. So historically prized by woodworkers is the myrtlewood, the tree makes a handful of appearances in the Bible, including
a passage that reveres its properties to that of life and fertility. While the Oregon Myrtlewood is not exactly the same tree as that referenced in the religious text, the member of the California Bay Laurel family is considered to be one of the most beautiful hardwoods and can only be found in areas along the Southern Oregon and Northern California coastlines. Influenced by the dirt and minerals it grows in, the myr-
tlewood’s resulting grain is tightly woven to the point that no distinct growth rings can be seen. When molded into a four by 12 inch bowl, it can command upwards of $150 and take up to three months to make. That is, if it’s done right. “I’m old fashioned, I want to buy something that’s really good quality and I’ll pay more for it because I want it to last 20

The operators of Salmon Run Golf Course did not turn a profit in 2021, but revenue projections were exceeded and the group hopes to break even in the coming year. “From our perspective, what does 2022 look like?” asked Michael Sharp, president and CEO of Petaluma-based CourseCo,
Inc. “While we budgeted a loss (for 2022) operationally, I think in the $40,000 range, we feel pretty strong that this might be the year we break even and then build off of that.” In November 2020, the Brookings City Council turned over control of the 18-hole golf course to CourseCo under a 10-year contract, though it’s still

Earthquakes tied to, but Omicron puts efforts in overdrive not result of, volcanoes By Zoe Gottlieb Country Media
By Diana Bosetti The Pilot
Are the clusters of earthquakes off the Oregon Coast a result of recent volcanic activity? “These earthquakes are not directly related to volcanic eruption, but they are indirectly, yes,” said Scott Burns, professor emeritus of geology and past-chair of the Department of Geology at Portland State University. According to Burns, 90% of
the Oregon Coast earthquakes including the most recent cluster of seismic activity - occur within the Blanco Fault Zone. Surrounding the Blanco Fault Zone are the Juan de Fuca and Gorda plates, which include a series of volcanoes that over time impact the zone. “We have got 200 miles off the coast a chain of volcanoes and magma that creates a plate that is moving toward North America and is being subducted
A Dec. 17 press conference with Oregon Gov. Kate Brown carried with it a sense of urgency, as public health experts described the imminent threat of another COVID-19 surge following the arrival of the Omicron variant in Oregon. Brown was joined by public health experts Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen, OHSU Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Renee Edwards, State Epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger, and OHSU Lead Data

the need for the OHA’s proposed rule and receive the input of small businesses and organizations, the notice states. The proposal comes shortly after the Omicron variant’s arrival to the United States on Dec. 1, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Through Dec. 8, the OHA reported that 22 U.S. states had detected at least one COVID-19 case attributed to the Omicron variant. Among 43 cases with initial follow-up, one hospitalization and no deaths were reported. As of Monday, Dec. 13, there were three confirmed cases of Omicron in Oregon.

effectiveness of masks in preventing the transmission of the virus,” Modie said. “OHA continues to monitor scientific data with regard to masking and control of COVID-19.” Data from the CDC shows a 1-2% reduction in COVID case growth and death rates associated with state-issued mask mandates in a study of 2,313 U.S. counties up to 81-100 days after implementation. Oregon is one of eight states to retain a mask mandate nearly two years into the pandemic, according to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). Modie said the OHA’s approach is to continue to look at the impact of the virus on Oregonians and Oregon’s health care system. “And make recommendations based on what we see on the ground, and either increase control of the pandemic because things are getting worse or relax the current precautions we have in place because the disease rate has gone down significantly,” he said. “We want hospitals to be at a point where they are able to handle the volume of patients they see from COVID-19 and other conditions without needing the tremendous additional staffing they have in order to provide that quality of care to all Oregonians.” Members of the public will have the opportunity to comment on the proposal, according to Modie. The OHA is accepting comments on the proposed rule until Jan. 24, and a public hearing will be conducted Jan. 20 from 10 a.m. to noon. The location of that meeting was pending at press time. Email publichealth. rules@dhsoha.state.or.us to be added to the interested parties list and to submit a comment. Juan de Fuca plate was too warm to generate earthquakes - that its plate deformed like warm wax and so it wouldn’t fracture. However, sediment studies have shown the opposite to be true, and that as many as 12 powerful subduction-related earthquakes have occurred over the last 7,700 years. Burns added that the Gorda moves south and is a smaller segment that subducts below the Klamath Mountains at a slower rate of no more than 10 feet per 100 years. Burns described the recent quakes as “fun and exciting” from a geologist perspective, and that there’s not too much cause for concern. “Nobody has really picked up that there's more activity in the volcanoes out there, but just that there has been a meeting of the two plates moving at different rates so they're building up pressure,” he said. Still, Burns said it doesn’t hurt to be prepared. “These recent quakes remind us that we live in earthquake country,” Burns said. “It’s not these small earthquakes we should be concerned about. It’s the big one. So we need to be prepared at home and at work.”

Oregon State Bar seeks public input on program to address the justice gap The Oregon State Bar seeks public input on a program that would create a new level of legal licensure – similar to that for a nurse practitioner in the medical field – to provide limited legal services in two areas of unmet need. A Licensed Paralegal (LP) could provide certain limited services in landlord/tenant (housing) and family law cases. Currently between 7585 percent of these cases in Oregon see litigants
navigating the legal system alone, even in high stakes areas such as housing, parenting time or child custody. “To the extent that we have a two-tiered system in these areas– some with access to a lawyer and others without - this could provide some trained help for those who may otherwise be entirely on their own,” said Kateri Walsh of the Oregon State Bar. As proposed, LPs would be required to complete
educational and experience-based requirements. They would be subject to many of the same regulatory requirements as lawyers: a character & fitness examination; adherence to ethics rules; continuing education; and maintaining liability insurance. The program would not replace the need for a lawyer for complex legal issues in family law or other landlord and tenant matters. It is intended to be one more tool to address the number of low and moderate income people who cannot afford a lawyer, or who have other language or cultural barriers to finding qualified help. Further detail, a short video, and an opportunity to provide public input is at www.osbar.org/lp. Additional comment will be taken at an OSB Board Meeting in February, and public outreach will be conducted throughout the state.

Pastor Jerry A. Brickley November 10, 2021
Pastor Jerry A. Brickley went to be with The LORD on November 10, 2021 at age 77. Jerry was born to Paul & Effe Brickley on February 15, 1944 in Los Angeles, California. He was raised with his older brother, Perry Brickley, who was also his lifelong best friend. After graduating high school, Jerry served 2 years overseas as an Army Specialist during the Vietnam War. Jerry went on to hold many professions, including owning his own taxi company, advertising
for Montgomery Ward, serving as a police officer, and traveling as the road manager for the Festival of Praise choir for many years. Jerry soon felt the call to full-time ministry, and in 1990 he graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. He then moved to Brookings, OR where he served as the pastor of Anchor Chapel for over a decade, while also producing a ministry program on local public broadcasting. After retiring from ministry, he became a bus driver for Brookings-Harbor School District, where he was beloved by many over his 15+ years there. “Pastor Jerry” also continued to officiate weddings along the Oregon coast throughout the end of his life. Jerry is survived by his
daughters, Julie Mohline of Surprise, AZ, Rebecca Gurney of Kingwood, TX, and Ryan Brickley of West Linn, OR; his grandchildren, Lukas Mohline (17) and Robin Gurney (2); his sister-inlaw, Patty Brickley; his nieces, Sheryl Hatfield Brickley and Erin Smith; and many great-nieces and -nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, his mother, and his brother. A Celebration of Life service is planned for 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, January 2nd, 2022 at the Brookings Church of the Nazarene, where Jerry attended for many years. Jerry will be buried with veteran’s honors at the Eagle Point National Cemetery. His deepest wish was for all to know and trust in Jesus, and to be reunited with his loved ones in heaven forever.

Guest Opinion
Alternatives to bigger jails aren’t a partisan issue By Matt Witt If you know someone is a Republican or Democrat, then you might assume you know exactly where they stand on whether local jails need to be expanded. But if recent experience in the rural, southwest Oregon county where I live is any guide, it’s not that simple. The economy in Jackson County is dominated by mostly low-wage jobs in tourism, health care, agriculture and forestry, yielding a median income 24 percent lower than the national average. Yet the median home price is 9 percent higher than the national average, and one out of three households pays more than half of what they earn just for housing. Republicans win every county commissioner election, and last year, those commissioners asked voters to authorize a new jail with three times the capacity of the old one. The local newspaper came out in favor, publishing a three-part series and a positive editorial as well. But voters in this “red” county said no by nearly 3 to 1. How did this happen? It happened because a broadbased community group of volunteers convinced voters that lockups weren’t the only answer. The group did intensive public outreach, pointing out that a large percentage of what was considered local crime involved mental illness, addiction, homelessness, and poverty - all underlying issues that a larger jail couldn’t help. A study they cited by the independent Vera Institute of Justice examined the experience of 77 counties and found that “larger jails often become overcrowded again because expansion fails to address the root causes of an increased (jail) population.” The coalition even brought in police to make their case. They hosted forums, inviting law enforcement leaders from other counties to talk about how they reduced jail bookings instead of expanding jails. In many cases, they said, mental health professionals or social service workers were more effective and less costly than sending in police. Tad Larson, the jail commander from Marion County, Oregon, said his county operates mobile crisis intervention teams that connect individuals with counseling services, alcohol and drug treatment, and peer mentor support. “Less than 3% of calls the crisis teams respond to result in arrests,” Larson said, and the county has reduced annual jail bookings by 20 to 25 percent. A similar program in Lane County, Oregon responds to 24,000 calls per year involving dispute resolution, medical crises, mental illness, substance abuse or homelessness. The
program saves $15.5 million a year by handling calls that would otherwise go to the police. This reduces arrests and diverts patients from emergency rooms, according to program coordinator Tim Black. The Real Solutions coalition also pointed out that crisis intervention alternatives are supported by a national group called Right on Crime, which was founded by well-known conservatives such as Newt Gingrich, Grover Norquist and Mike Huckabee. “Research shows that, especially in regards to low-risk defendants, even brief jail stays can increase the chance of committing another crime in the future,” Right on Crime reports. “When someone who has mental health issues is locked up pretrial it can compound their situation,” Right on Crime adds. “The same can be said for people who display signs of substance abuse.” While crisis response programs save money once operating, many communities need seed money and technical assistance to get started. Federal grants totaling $15 million have been awarded to 20 states, including California, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon and Utah, to help local jurisdictions to plan such programs. Meanwhile, the Oregon legislature this year set an example by appropriating $10 million to expand local mobile-crisis programs throughout the state. In the county where I live, the county commissioners have been silent on this subject since their proposal was soundly defeated. But the voters’ decision has prompted discussions among public agencies, nonprofits and community advocates about establishing a crisis intervention system. “With continued population growth and with new fiscal challenges as a result of COVID-19, it will be particularly important to find cost-effective alternatives to continually building bigger jails,” wrote four city councilors from local communities in Jackson County after voters turned down jail expansion. “We hope Jackson County officials have learned those lessons too, and we look forward to working with them on constructive and practical alternatives.” That would be an example, increasingly rare these days, of a community finding a solution that everyone - no matter their political leanings - can support.

Why no pharmacies
Has any one but me been subjected to hours of standing in line to pick up a RX that your medical provider authorized, that you received a message saying it would be available in week and then finding out it wasn't ready for some sort of lame excuse? What is going on? Part is due to Kate Brown with a "revenue tax." This caused Bi-Mart to close their pharmacy. Seven percent on revenue, not profits, and they are an employee owned company. Rite Aide is open one day a week. Order your meds and stand in line for 45 minutes to be told not available. Two hour wait at Fred Meyer. This is a community of over 12,000 people, many seniors, with only one full-time pharmacy. As much as I hate to do it, I would rather drive for a 60-minute, round-trip to Crescent City than stand in line for a hour to be told come back later. Something is wrong when you can buy pot anywhere in town but can't get your prescribed medications on a timely basis. By the way, if you order too far in advance, insurance won't pay for it. Flush Brown. Allan Stewart Brookings
Get several inspections Our experience with a pest control business ***indicates the company that cannot be named, per Curry Pilot regulations. July 2020, we have rats. Called *** and this nationwide pest control company came out. Supposedly the bait they use is much better than anyone else’s because if our pet cat eats a poisoned rat, he will not get sick. Today, all pest control poisons are supposed to have little or no effect on pets. Entrances were blocked, bait was put underneath our small home and outbuilding, at a cost of $5,200 for one years coverage. November 2020. Rats seem to be taken care of so far. An inspector who has worked with **** for 10 years enters the house, sits down and tells us we have mold in the attic and under the house. He shows us pictures he has taken. Problem is, it isn't our attic or subfloor. Cost, several thousand dollars. We decided to call two other companies to see if the problem existed. Both said nope, no mold. We called Jack who is the manager of ****, and he came to take a look. He confirmed there was no mold. He offered to give us a year’s
free service for rat control. We refused and told him to address the likelihood for errors witch are very expensive to their customers, or the BBB would be notified, as well as notifications in newspapers, etc. One week later, he said the problem would be solved by having pictures uploaded into the company's computer with GPS tracking to track and localize the pictures. We were told by a subsequent inspector from this company that it was not done. Every three months an inspector would check for rats. On the last check-up that was in our contract for rat control, we were told the rats were back and now we have termites. Total estimated cost would be over $7,000 for rat and termite control. We called another pest control company and they found no evidence of termites. These false allegations that there was a pest and mold problem and our house required expensive extensive treatment should give those who are thinking of this service pause. My suggestion would be to get several inspections from different companies.

Well done Wreaths Across America A big shout-out for Curry residents Sandy Welsh, Don Bemis and Debbie Salzman. They continue to make huge impacts for honoring our veterans and vets awareness. This was the first W.A.A. year for Gold Beach. Welsh spent a great deal of time and effort in bringing Wreaths Across America to Central Curry. She organized this important project very well and was responsible for the wonderful turn out. The ceremony was held at the Curry Event Center in Gold Beach. Sandy coordinated with the Rogue River Cemetery of Gold Beach and she also leads the local Daughters of the American Revolution group. This was the second W.A.A. year for Brookings. Bemis and Salzman, newly moved from Nevada and who have proudly brought the Wreaths Across America program to South Curry as the coordinators for WJ Ward Cemetery. They have contributed hundreds of hours toward this wonderful program. December 19, 2020, was the first year, with much success thanks to John Banuat, president of our local Vietnam Vets, America chapter 757. They were the sponsoring group and also individuals and

community businesses generously contributed wreaths to be placed at the Brookings Veterans grave sites. VFW post 4439 of Gold Beach provided the honor guard and rifle squad to fire the special salute along with George Michael's playing “Taps” as the trumpet finale. All of the veteran graves were covered that first year. Speakers were Don Bemis, Dr. Ron Reel, Brookings Mayor Pieper and myself. Dec. 18, a year later, was even better. The second Brookings ceremony was again a success as all graves were properly covered. A fabulous Fallen Soldier statue was donated to the cemetery by Bemis, Salzman, Sam Vitale, Rita Vitale and the VVA Chapter 757 to the Ward Cemetery and dedicated on this day. The same groups attended and speakers included Don Bemis, Dr. Ron Reel, Jake Pieper, Brookings City Councilman Brad Alcorn and myself. It was a special treat to have Dr. Jessica Carlson sing God Bless America for all and the welcomed fly-overs by Dan Brattain. Too, I'd like to give a special mention to Harbor Oceanside Diner who provided free breakfast sandwiches and coffee for everyone both years. Cape Sebastian (DAR) was the important sponsor group, along with John Bell, commander of the Gold Beach VFW Post 4439 as the co-sponsor. Their ceremony consisted of 4439 posting of the colors. Every branch of the U.S. Services was represented. Speakers included Master of Ceremonies Welsh, Gold Beach Mayor Tami Kaufman, Commissioner Christopher Paasch and myself. Dr. Jessica Carlson also joined the Central Curry Ceremony and sang God Bless America in honoring the veterans and attendants. She was accompanied by the Gold Beach High School band. The ceremony also paid tribute to WW II veterans, Dorothy Nickerson, and Bud Dubay, both who served in the U.S. Navy. The Gold Beach VFW provided the rifle salute at the Rogue River Cemetery after all the veteran graves were covered with wreaths. Then Michaels played “Taps” for the finale. These events would not have happened without the generous support of Curry citizens, and surrounding areas. Our county will continue the Wreaths Across America program in the years to come. Once the date in December 2022 is determined, there will be notifications.

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 (800) 683-2468 or visit this Internet Web site www. servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.277-852. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to
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. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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 (800) 683- 2468, or visit this internet website www. servicelinkasap.com, using the file number assigned to this case FHAC.277-852 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.

technically owned by the city. The Petaluma-based company manages 41 golf courses in the U.S. and beat out its competitor - Early Management Team and the operator of the course the four years prior - in a competitive RFP process to run the course. The management shift also came on the heels of COVID-19 restrictions that kept many people home, creating some uncertainties about whether the course could turn a profit any time soon. On Dec. 13, Sharp delivered the Salmon Run Golf Course Annual Report before the Brookings City Council. “We still have a little more time to go in the year and our financials trail about three weeks before I actually get the numbers, but we are going to beat our revenue projections,” said Sharp. According to Sharp, CourseCo projected that it would reach $720,619 in revenue by the end of 2021, and through October they hit $630,431 in total revenue - meeting nearly 85% of that goal. “We are pretty proud of that in our first year of operation,” said Sharp. Revenues were about $3,000 more a month than the group thought it would make, though inclement weather over the last two months of the year would realistically put CourseCo about $10,000 to $20,000 above its revenue goal. When CourseCo took over the management, the city agreed to pay them $84,000 annually from golf course revenue, and in return CourseCo agreed to contribute $60,000 toward capital improvements on the golf course. “I wish I could say that we had done a lot more in our first year, but we were definitely hindered by a lot of factors with COVID, which impeded some of our progress, but we still did a lot,” said Sharp. Some of that included adding POS software, updating the facility’s website and social media platforms, implementing hospitality and safety training for its 17-employees and maintaining on-going projects like cart path fence repairs, expanding the driving range and irrigation repairs. Sharp added that he believes their marketing push put the “Salmon Run brand out there,” resulting in a business league of 12 teams that collectively logged 672 rounds of golf, several tournaments, stronger partnerships with nearby lodging facilities and a three-week golf camp that brought 135 youth to the green. “Modest” pay increases also went out to staff, and in August Chris Clark was named general manager. Clark, a resident of Gold
Beach, grew up in Brookings and started working at the course in 1991 in the pro shop. He left for a few years to pursue an education and worked at another course and in the transportation industry, but returned to the Oregon coast in 2007. Since then, Clark has also coached several sports teams at Gold Beach High School. “It has been an absolute pleasure working with our amazing team here at Salmon Run,” Clark said. “Everyone here is passionate about this entire property and are committed to giving everyone who comes the absolute best experience possible.” On the food and beverage side, CourseCo also appears to be outpacing its prior projections of $144,349 by the end of the year. As of the end of October, there were $103,106 in food and beverage sales, or about $2,000 more a month than anticipated. “Catering was virtually knocked out during COVID and it took a lot of creativity to work around that,” said Clark. Moving forward, Sharp assured the council that he remains “bullish” but persistent COVID fears could present an unwelcome mulligan of people staying home. Shortages in personnel, products and housing are also a problem. “We’ve tried to hire a superintendent several times over the last six months and every time we get down to the last one or two people and either make them an offer and ask them to come visit, they can’t find housing,” Sharp said, adding that a new “stellar” candidate is being courted but that he and his wife
would need to find a place to live. “Can you put housing on the course, maybe tucked away in some corner?” asked Mayor Ron Hedenskog. “It is something we could explore,” Sharp responded. “A couple of our facilities have housing above maintenance.” “It could require permits, but we could do that for you,” Hedenskog said. According to Clark, the expansion of the driving range experienced a setback because they couldn’t find someone to move the poles back, but the property is rezoned and they secured a contract with a company that will install eight poles, add new netting with anchors and “we are looking at the possibility of putting in new irrigation as well so we can have grass all-year round,” he said. The range is slated to be completed by the spring. With improvements, however, come potential price increases. Sharp said they plan to raise green fees anywhere from $1 to $2. Depending on the time of year and whether a golf court is rented, daily rates currently range from $34 to $54 for 18 holes, or $23 to $39 for nine holes. Kids under 19 currently pay $8. Salmon Run Golf Course is located at 99040 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 creek. Other amenities include a restaurant, full-service bar, pro shop and PGA teaching staff. The Occasion Hall offers facilities for weddings, receptions, conferences, reunions and meetings.
Scientist Peter Graven in discussing the latest COVID-19 projections and next steps for the state. “While we are all still learning about this new variant, it is clear from the experiences of the United Kingdom and other countries that we have only weeks to prepare before Omicron hits our communities and health care systems in full force,” Brown said. The data of concern comes from a Dec. 17 forecast published by Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU), which indicates immunity, whether natural or acquired through the vaccine, is less effective against Omicron than the Delta variant. “Today’s forecast is a warning we can’t ignore,” Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen said. The Omicron variant was first detected in Africa in November and has since traveled to various U.S. states. As of Monday, Dec. 13, three cases of Omicron were identified in Oregon. Omicron appears to have a higher rate of transmission coupled with a decreased hospitalization rate, studies show. In addressing the media, the governor shared what she believes to be the next logical course of action. "Today I am calling on one million Oregonians to step up and get their booster dose by the end of January,” she said. “Boosters are our best protection against Omicron. The state will be taking important steps to make sure our most vulnerable Oregonians have access to booster shots and to make sure we are ready to support our hospital systems for another surge.” “If you aren’t yet vaccinated, now is the time,” she said. “This is a matter of life and death.” Brown also emphasized the importance of Oregonians uniting to slow the spread of the virus. “A big part of that plan will depend on each and
and two shows on Saturday, with a bonus session of BINGO proceeding the early show on Saturday. Shows are adult only and not for the feint of heart. Tickets are $15 as a presale price and $20 at the door.

every one of you,” she said. The news appears to conflict with OHSU findings published a little over two weeks earlier, projecting that COVID-19 hospitalizations would fall below 200 around Feb. 1. 82% of Oregonians either have immunity to the COVID-19 virus, and 85% is the threshold where Delta is less likely to spread readily among the population, according to Graven. At the Dec. 17 press conference, Graven had a different message to deliver. “I’d hoped to be able to share better news today,
but today’s forecast is going to anticipate another surge of severe illness in Oregon,” Graven said. “While the severity is less, it is not low enough to prevent us from seeing hospitalizations.” A reporter asked Brown about how we might deal with a variant with risks that surpass both Delta and Omicron. “All options are on the table,” she said. Brown concluded her speech with a key message for her constituents. “If you take one thing away from this press conference, let it be this: Get your booster shot,” she said.

CURRY COASTAL PILOT
Beacon Broadband connects first customers to new fiber network Beacon Broadband, Inc., powered by Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative, has officially connected its first high-speed fiber customers to its network. On Thursday, December 9, this celebratory event marks the first 25 customers in the Beacon Broadband pilot test area that are now receiving quality gigabit-speed internet service. “Just over a year ago, Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative created Beacon Broadband to bring the highspeed fiber experience where no one else will go. Looking ahead at our need to build more than 1,400 miles of fiber optic cabling to support a network that will strengthen regional vitality sometimes feels overwhelming. However, any journey of a thousand miles begins with a few steps. We are really excited to gather together today to celebrate these first 25 steps.” Paul Recanzone, general manager of Beacon Broadband. Beacon Broadband is building a high-speed fiber-optic to the premises network that will span
the CoosCurry Electric Cooperative footprint and include surrounding areas with very little internet access. The company has begun construction in the southern end of the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative service territory. It anticipates reaching all CCEC members over the next four years. The greater southern Oregon coast was limited to an older cable and DSL internet technology prone to slower service and network interruptions before the launch. However, Beacon Broadband's stateof-the- art network providing symmetrical gigabit speeds local and reliable service will become vastly available as network construction proceeds north. Beacon Broadband service offers three internet plans to choose from to meet various customer needs and will be available to prospective customers with no data caps, contracts, or required bundles. With three internet plan offerings, customers can expect to pay $120 per month for the top plan of 1-gigabit in-

Members of congress push U.S. to help vaccinate the world Last week, Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey (D-MA), U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-MN), and Representatives Tom Malinowski (D-NJ-07), Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL-08), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA07), and Jake Auchincloss (D-MA-04) are leading a congressional effort urgent-
ly requesting supplemental funding be included in the Fiscal Year 2022 appropriations bill expected to be negotiated early in the new year to support American-led efforts to vaccinate the world. In a letter sent to both the Senate and House Appropriations Committees, the lawmakers highlighted the importance for America to scale up efforts to

vaccinate the world. The administration recently announced that it will utilize remaining funds from the American Rescue Plan to further propel domestic vaccine production and get shots into arms. However, far more needs to be done to vaccinate the world as swiftly as possible and prevent the emergence of future variants. As the explosion of Omicron variant cases around the world is showing, it will be impossible to protect Americans and our economy without urgently needed funding for treatment and vaccine delivery in low- and middle-income countries. “For months, we have

warned about the likelihood that new, more dangerous variants would emerge in countries with low vaccination rates,” the lawmakers wrote. “For months, we have called strenuously for a well-funded, comprehensive, American-led global vaccination and distribution program, to prevent the emergence of new variants and bring an end to this pandemic.” “In July, our fears were realized when the Delta variant swept across our nation, stalling our economic recovery and causing tens of thousands of avoidable deaths,” they continued. “Now, the

world faces yet another variant, Omicron, which may be even more transmissible than the Delta variant. "We must end this cycle by prioritizing getting shots in arms around the world as soon as possible, especially in low- and lower-middle-income countries, which do not have the resources to vaccinate their populations.” The letter references the
lawmakers’ July 23 request for supplemental funding to support global vaccine initiatives prior to the arrival of the Delta variant. The senators and representatives strongly urged the committees to include no less than $17 billion for global vaccination and treatment of COVID-19 in the FY22 appropriations omnibus legislation expected to be negotiated by February 18.
DeFazio announces funding to clean up abandoned mine
across the nation that will benefit from a $1 billion investment from the BIL to initiate cleanup and clear the backlog of previously unfunded Superfund sites and accelerate cleanup at other sites around the country. “The bipartisan infrastructure law is already delivering in big ways, with dozens of long-overdue cleanup projects receiving funding, including the long-abandoned Formosa Mine,” said DeFazio.
U.S. Representative Peter DeFazio (OR-04) recently announced the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is awarding Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to clean up several ecologically-damaged sites in the Pacific Northwest including the abandoned Formosa mine near Riddle. The Douglas County site is among 49 sites
