Surfing accident paralyzes youth LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot

Zachary Abblitt, age 18, of Brookings fractured his C5 and C6 neck vertebrae while surfing with his friend at Sporthaven Beach at the Port of Brookings Harbor on Nov. 20.

“He was pulled from the surf by his friend Daniel (Strom), transported to the local hospital via ambulance and by that evening was flown to Mercy Medical Center in Redding, where he is today,” said his uncle Kevin Knoll. “Zac had no feeling below his neck and was in surgery the day he arrived in Redding to remove part of the two vertebrae that were pinching his spinal column. Doctors also put a plug/fastener in its place to stabilize. The following day

he underwent surgery again to have a stabilizing plate put in the back of his neck. He has since regained slight movement in his arms but no movement in his hands and no feeling below his chest.”

Brookings resident Michael Lange was parked at the beach that day while eating his lunch and was watching the two teenage boys playing in the surf, one on a kayak and one on a surfboard.

“It was a ‘shore break’ day, meaning the waves were breaking close to shore as opposed to out further in the water,” Lange said. “I could tell the boys were having a great time, laughing and enjoying the beautiful day and a decent swell, three to four feet on the sets coming in.”

According to Lange, the boys

placed the boat and the board up on the beach and ran up to the boardwalk and sea wall area to visit a friend. Meanwhile, a wave came up to the surf toys and started to take one out to the ocean. Two girls who were with the boys were laughing about it.

“At that time, Zac and the other boy, Daniel, ran down the beach to help the girls get the items back up on the beach,” Lange said. “Zac went after the kayak and when the wave receded back into the surf, Zac dove head first in to the shallows. I did not see Zac come up from the dive and then I saw Daniel run to get him; he was struggling to retrieve Zac from the surf.

“Once that happened I jumped More Accident, Page A3

Everyone loves a light parade to kick off the holiday spirit. The lineup from last year had lots of decorated cars, busses and fire trucks.

The parade will take a longer route this year so there will be plenty of room to spread out.

Brookings light parade has longer route Event starts at 4:30 p.m. on Dec. 12 at AzaleaMiddleSchool LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot

It is time to get out your lights and dress up your vehicles,

horses, wagons, busses, dump trucks and fire trucks for the annual Brookings Christmas Light Parade on Dec. 12. Parade lineup is at 4:30 p.m. at Azalea Middle School, 505 Pacific Ave., Brookings. The parade begins at dark, approximately 6 p.m.

This year’s parade will be slightly different than previous years to ensure a completely

COVID-19 safe event. The route is different from last year, and much longer to allow people to watch from their cars with lots of room to spread out along the route.

The new route starts at Azalea Middle School, proceeds down Oak Street, crosses Chetco Avenue to Railroad Street, then proceeds to 5th Street, and after

crossing Chetco Avenue continues up the hill to Easy Street to return to the middle school via Pioneer Road.

Santa will not be hosting a reception at the park as in previous years, but he will be leading the parade in a fire truck.

Brookings Post Office re-opens after ‘environmental issue’ LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot The Brookings U.S. Post Office at 711 Spruce St. is back open after it closed abruptly Dec. 1 at approximately 2:30 p.m.

A notice on the door stated the U.S. Postal service implemented an emergency suspension of the office effective immediately.

“The reason for the temporary suspension is a possible environmental issue that is being investigated and mitigated if necessary,” the notice said. “Out of an abundance of caution, we need to restrict access to the building.”

“The safety of our employees

and customers is paramount,” said Postmaster Yvonne Huston.

“This is an emergency suspension of this office, not a permanent closure.”

Environmental cleanup crews from northern California and Portland arrived at the site at approximately 2 a.m., Dec. 2, according to David Rupert, strategic communications manager for USPS. The environmental hazard turned out to be a ‘trace’ amount of mercury that leaked from a package that was improperly mailed, according to Rupert.

Post office patrons gathered outside the locked doors of the U.S. Post Office in Brookings to read the notice posted on the door after it closed Dec. 1.

Curry County has moved to the high risk category from its pre-Thanksgiving moderate risk assessment after the state updated county statuses on Monday, Nov. 30. Worse however, the county is currently moving in the wrong direction towards the extreme risk category.

New county-by-county restrictions to combat the spread of COVID-19 were announced Wednesday, Nov. 25. The restrictions assess each county’s risk level based on its case rate and test positivity rate over a two-week period and went into effect following the end of the two-week freeze.

Under the new guidance, each county is assigned a risk level ranging from low risk to extreme More Risk, Page A3

A warm, fuzzy story of adoption for the holidays LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot

Dorothy “Elaine” Pommarane June 17, 1932 - November 23, 2020

I want to remain what each person believed mee to be in their lives. I had a great time, my love is endearing.

God blesses us all whether we deserve it or not.

Elaine’s poem: It’s all about “Mee” Let mee go Let mee go From a world I never belonged in Let mee go For I have loved and lost Let mee go For I have loved and let go Let mee go For I have loved fearlessly Let mee go For I have seen which isn’t seen Let mee go For I have tasted which isn’t given Let mee go For I have listened to lovely sounds Let mee go For peace

Surfaces and air were tested, and they checked how much mercury was in the package and how much was missing.

“We bring in the best people,” Rupert said. “We have to protect the public and protect the employees.”

After a visual inspection, real-time air monitoring and completely remediating the environmental hazards caused by the mercury leak, the post office is now deemed safe

for employees and customers, Rupert said in a phone call at 7:25 p.m., Dec. 2.

The post office was able to re-open Dec. 3 and is now fully operational.

Despite the closure, Brookings area postal mail was delivered Dec. 2, according to Rupert.

Mail carriers from Brookings arrived early in the morning at the Gold Beach Post Office to sort the mail for delivery. Unfortunately, P.O. boxes were not available to customers, and those requiring postal services needed to seek them from other post offices and mail service providers.

Avalon was snuggled up in a cuddler bed in the back room at South Coast Dispensaries, located at 1025 Chetco Ave. in Brookings, last March when she was placed there in a novel “Shop to Adopt” program.

“She’s so sweet. She’s so quiet,” business owner Mica Watson said when she first arrived. “She’s so shy.

She’s been in the Humane Society for about five years, and this is her first long trip.

I think in a couple of days she’ll be out here.”

The store bought a brandnew cat tree for her so she could come out and lay in the sun in the front of the shop, but she was so shy when she first arrived that she preferred the back room.

“I guess this is the first dispensary kitty in the state of Oregon,” Watson said.

“It’s so exciting. I don’t mind being the first if it means more homes for kitties. If we can help cats find a home, that is so special.”

Avalon was being fostered at the business and was available for adoption.

Don’t worry, the cat was not able to access any of the products. They are locked away at night according to required procedures, and during the day, the products are out of reach.

“Everything is put in the safe at night, and she guards it,” Watson said.

“Nobody works here for free. She has a job.”

A few weeks later when The Pilot checked in, Avalon was purrfectly at home in the shop.

“Last night at 2 a.m., I got a call from Brookings Police Department that my burglar alarm was set off,” Watson said. “I jump out of bed, heart attack style, throw on my clothes backwards. Grab my phone to look at the cameras. There jumping on my desk and sitting in my chair, eyes aglow like Satan under the night vision, is Sweet Ava-

Avalon landed a job working at South Coast Dispensaries with owner Mica Watson last March, but has since changed ‘careers.’ lon. Having a kitty disco on my desk with no music!

I literally died laughing. Told the cops it was our new kitty. Whoopsi, soooorry! The alarm guy had a good laugh too…”

Alarms were adjusted so she could disco all night.

Avalon came to Wild Rivers Rescue as a kitten, but didn’t find a new home — until Watson took her in. She became a hit with customers who gave her treats and came to visit her at the shop. In fact, Avalon put on a little weight.

The original idea was for Watson to feature a

new foster cat each month.

Bets were on with regulars that Avalon would become a “foster fail,” and end up staying on as Watson’s permanent shop kitty.

They were close to being right. Last month, Avalon was adopted by one of the store’s employees.

“It’s like shared custody, so I still get to see her,” Watson said.

“Yeah, we’d love to have another,” she said when asked if she’d do it again. “I hope that we are able to keep adopting out cats. This is a really positive thing, but I definitely

wouldn’t have minded getting ‘stuck’ with her as our resident kitty. I have such a soft spot for cats, and have a couple of my own.

“If someone could give a cat a home for the holidays, that would be great,” Watson recommended.

If you have a business and need a cat to “guard” it, or just purr on your customers, or would like to foster a business friendly dog, contact Wild Rivers Rescue in Gold Beach at 541-247-2514 or South Coast Humane Society in Brookings at 541-4120325.

Brookings schools will stay in distance learning through end of 2020 Superintendent David Marshall announced Thursday he had made the difficult decision that all hybrid students will remain in comprehensive distance learning mode through the end of the calendar year – two and a half weeks remain before winter break.

The decision was made after weighing the situation and receiving feedback from students, parents, staff and the school board of directors, according to a press release sent Dec. 3 “We will continue to provide some additional limited in-person instruction during this time with a focus on the social and emotional needs of our students,” Marshall said.

“Even if we hit the ‘red zone’ next week (60+ cases or 10%+ positivity

in Curry County according to the school metrics), we will still be able to offer limited in person services and supports.”

Electing to go to CDL will provide staff and students some consistency and less chance for another disruptive switch from in-person to CDL on short notice. It also provides some time to address concerns about potential metrics impacts from Thanksgiving travel and gatherings.

“I respect and appreciate all of the feedback I received from our community ahead of this decision, and know that there will continue to be disagreement on the best course forward,” he said. “A number of you expressed a desire to have students

in person if we are able to, while others shared the stress of sudden shifts and week-to-week decisions on students, families and teachers. Our BHSD staff is committed to providing the best education and support to our students regardless of the instructional model. My concern for the safety of our students and our staff certainly weighed heavily on this decision.

“Post-winter break focus will be having students in-person and keeping them in-person as much as possible. There was a pretty strong consensus with staff, students and our board that students benefit the most from a safe and consistent routine in the classroom with their teachers and our amazing support staff.”

Public is invited to take part in the event that kicks off at 6 p.m.

Let’s light up 101 and spread some cheer.”

Entry forms must be received online or delivered to the Fair Office by Thursday, Dec. 10. The parade will start at dark, around 6 p.m., but vehicles must be in place by 5:45 p.m.

The parade will tour from the Port of Gold Beach through town on Ellensburg Avenue and end at the Event Center where Santa will light the Curry Community Christmas Tree.

This is a COVID friend-

ly community event.

“We ask that everyone who participates stay in their cars to watch the parade, wear a mask and keep socially distanced when you exit your vehicles,” organizers said in social media posts.

Between Dec. 12 and 15, families can drive through the Event Center and drop off their letters at Santa’s mailbox.

out of my car and so did the man parked next to me.

I yelled at him to call 911 and ran down to the boys; there was another man running down and also a lady showed up, too. The gentleman who called 911 also came down. We were all in the surf, up to about high shin level, trying to keep Zac’s head above water; he was conscious, but lifeless other than facial expressions.”

The rescuers used the kayak to move Zac to a safer place out of the surf.

“About five of us lifted Zac gently as we could, keeping him as stable as we could, into the kayak,” Lange continued. “I was on his feet end and we all escorted Zac, in the boat, up to the sea wall to wait for first responders.”

“The spot that I dove into was far shallower than I was expecting,” Abblitt said in a video from his hospital bed. “It was about, say less than a foot of water. I hit my head first and was instantly paralyzed after that. Both my C5 and C6 in my neck were crushed. I’ve had surgery in the front and in the back. Now I have a titanium plate back there.”

surf, and just as he set his mind to be an athlete and a runner, I know that if Zac can be placed in the right rehab center, this will give him all that he needs to take that determination and to put it into him walking again and running again,” Charis said.

“I’m just taking it one day at a time,” Zac said.

risk, and each risk level has a corresponding set of health and safety measures to follow. Twenty-one counties in Oregon are currently at an “extreme risk” of spreading COVID-19.

Curry County is listed as high risk.

“Unfortunately, now more than ever is the time we must double down on our efforts to stop COVID from spreading,” Gov. Kate Brown said in a media briefing. “Our situation is extremely dire. Our hospitals are stretched thin and people are dying.”

The restrictions for counties at an extreme risk are similar to the restrictions of the twoweek freeze, but there are a few differences, a key one concerns outdoor dining. Under the twoweek freeze, all restaurants were limited to providing takeout only, but under the new framework, counties at an extreme risk will be allowed to offer outdoor dining with a maximum of six people from two households total at each table.

However, restrictions on retail are a little stricter under the guidance.

“The hard reality is this: There is no normal while the virus rages unchecked, and the touch points of daily life — going shopping, having dinner with your friends, working out — could make you sick,” OHA Director Patrick Allen said.

The new restrictions become effective Dec. 3 and each county’s risk level will be assessed every two weeks. Counties with a population less than 30,000 are deemed at an extreme risk if there are more than 60 new COVID-19 cases over 14 days. Curry County has recenters for Zac, according to Knoll. They want to place him with the top spinal specialist rehab in the country. The family hopes that rehab will not only be able to work with his ‘muscle memory’ but provide them with the best advice and expertise to guide and direct his treatment. The top rehab centers look for traits that lead to success, such as effort and a willingness to work hard.

“Zac is a fighter and a hard worker,” Knolls said.

“He is a strong, athletic young man. We are trying to raise funds for their crazy high medical needs that will be long term,” Knolls said.

The family has set up a fundraising site at “Give Butter” (like GoFundMe) and a Facebook page where people can follow his progress. Here are the links: https://givebutter.com/ Zac https://www. facebook.com/ groups/731426521087574 https://www.facebook. com/1243639187/videos/10217779294894441/

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Guest Commentaries

Commissioner Boice responds to county censure To Curry citizens; RE; Commissioners Paasch and Gold censure of Boice – November 18, 2020 Yes, I was outside of my “officially authorized” areas of responsibility, and I’ve worked hard not to since I am no longer the parks liaison of a park that carries my last name. In the absence of others taking responsibility, I acted on behalf of the county in an effort to limit legal liabilities and damages for two urgent matters at Boice Cope Park, and one legal issue.

The National Weather Service high wind warning for Monday, Nov. 16, through Tuesday, Nov. 17, predicted gusts in excess of 85 mph for the Cape Blanco area. Those kinds of wind speeds are DANGEROUS because of flying debris, trees falling and even high-profile vehicles (like RVs) being tipped over. That is why I told the Meakins to move their RV because of the potential risks they faced. They had already sustained damage from the previous two storms during which Mrs. Meakins suffered a broken rib as they tried to follow the park coordinator’s orders. I consistently and early followed

proper protocol to request getting them moved only through the winter, however, was ignored.

Had I not given them permission and they suffered more severe injuries, the county could be subject to a potentially expensive lawsuit.

In addition, the lack of water and toilet facilities while guests were present in the campground also carried the potential for a lawsuit related to pathogen health and safety — especially during a pandemic. The county should have had porta potties delivered within 24 hours, especially since the park coordinator didn’t get the simple leak fixed for six days. That health and safety issue was a huge liability for the county, especially since it’s likely that pathogens aren’t covered by our CIS liability policy.

Unfortunately the parks coordinator has a history of being unavailable to the Meakins on weekends or even during his work week. The flooding would have been much worse if I hadn’t taken their call on Sunday, Nov. 15, and guided them on how to shut off the water. I turned over the matter as soon as it was fea-

sible – (less than two hours after being notified of the problem) to Director of Curry Operations Brad Rueckert on the advice of legal counsel because he is able to authorize any expenditure for a major or minor repair. Because of past tensions between the parks coordinator and myself, (which is what led to the change of who would be parks liaison), I delegated the task of informing the parks coordinator to Director Rueckert. There is clear documentation to support this.

I want the public to know, Walt and Sheila Meakins did an excellent job at our Boice Cope Park, however less than 24 hours after the Curry County Board of Commissioners meeting Nov. 18, the Meakins’ contract was terminated. This was done without due process, without a hearing and in fact they and I were denied sufficient time by Commissioner Paasch to state our cases during the Curry County Board of Commissioners meeting the day.

Sheila is a disabled Army veteran and they were illegally evicted during the COVID pandemic as Curry County ignored Oregon House Bill 4123. This was a horrible disrespect and injustice. The

commissioners’ censure instead inappropriately took priority.

Citizens also need to know their decision was, in my view, a clear violation of “Open Public Meeting Laws” with private meeting(s) – between Commissioners Paasch and Gold and others here in the County Annex sworn to secrecy.

In addition, there was not even a minimum 24-hour public notice of this added agenda item and in fact no notice, all done improperly in a secret commissioners quorum that I believe was designed for the benefit of surprise. I wish Sue Gold and Christopher Paasch would have helped me with an independent review in an honorable quest to get all the facts instead of a political and punitive quest to go after me.

I have not violated any OSHA rules with regard to inquiring about a particular employee’s refusal to wear a mask while at work. Neither OSHA nor ADA recommends that an accommodation for disability on behalf of one employee include allowing that person to come to the workplace and pose a danger to all the other employees. Instead, suitable accommodations allow for remote work or possibly

wearing a face shield for limited interactions. That employee’s presence without a mask at a staff gathering in a small break room violated OSHA rules, which caused Curry County to be investigated in late October.

It is not unlawful to ask whether an employee has a disability that prevents wearing a mask. It is an OSHA violation to allow guests or other staff to endanger county employees.

While Chair Paasch was concerned about lawsuits and liabilities and felt he needed to call for a censure for my actions, in all cases, I was acting to prevent a unacceptable risk to our employees, our volunteer camp hosts and the county’s financial future. If someone is drowning in a swimming pool or a neighbor’s house is on fire, I rush to assist and in my life have never been one accustomed to saying, “It’s not my job.”

I’ve been accused of stepping outside my area of responsibility and I’ll be more mindful, but I won’t apologize for caring about our county, our citizens and the people who work for us.

Trade enforcement deserves a spot high on my former colleagues’ to-do list. Holding our trading partners accountable to existing pacts, and negotiating robust new agreements with our allies, would create jobs and help our economy fully recover from COVID-19.

International trade has long been a boon for the U.S. economy. Last year, the United States traded nearly $6 trillion worth of goods and services with foreign nations. Nearly 39 million U.S. jobs rely on international trade. At a time when one in 10 Americans who want to work cannot find jobs, it’s never been more important to preserve and strengthen these economic opportunities.

Unfortunately, foreign trade barriers threaten many of these economic benefits.

For instance, local content requirements in Canada, Brazil, South Africa, and India limit the amount of U.S. television programming that can be broadcast within their borders. And the world’s

preeminent form of audio IP theft, “stream ripping” -- illegally downloading an audio file from a legitimate streaming platform onto your own devices -- is a regular occurrence in Canada. These practices unfairly devalue U.S. creative content and keep our artists from being fairly compensated for their work.

Similarly, unfair and often discriminatory medicine price controls in countries like Canada, Japan, Korea, and the United Kingdom undervalue U.S. biopharmaceuticals. These practices make it difficult for U.S. drug companies to break into foreign markets, sell new medicines at fair market prices, and recoup R&D investments to develop new cures.

Congress has an essential role to play in stopping these trade violations. After all, it funds the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative -- which negotiates and enforces trade treaties on our country’s behalf -- and gives the final go-ahead to trade agreements.

And, consistent with its constitutional authority to “regulate commerce with foreign nations,” lawmakers already have demanded robust U.S. trade negotiating objectives through the 2015 Trade Promotion Authority law.

Now, Congress and the administration need to

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:

This newspaper’s letters to the editor are limited to a maximum of 350 words and will be edited for grammar, spelling and blatant inaccuracies. Unsubstantiated or irresponsible allegations,or personal attacks on any individual, will not be published.

work together to advance their goals and eliminate onerous trade obstacles once and for all.

Policymakers can start by enforcing our existing trade deals, like the U.S.Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS). Since signing the deal in 2018, Korea has continued to undervalue American intellectual property, particularly when it comes to medicines. The United States should hold Korean officials

accountable and demand that they “appropriately recognize the value of . . . patented pharmaceutical product[s],” like they promised.

Members also have a duty to pay close attention to ongoing trade negotiations, such as the phase two U.S.-Japan talks.

During phase one discussions -- which produced a limited treaty earlier this year -- U.S. trade officials failed to negotiate robust protections for

U.S. intellectual property.

Lawmakers can wield their trade authority to ensure that American negotiators don’t make the same mistake during their second go-around.

The impending U.S.UK trade agreement provides Congress with yet another opportunity.

The United Kingdom routinely devalues U.S. pharmaceuticals and impedes U.S. agricultural exports. Addressing these trade barriers would create

American jobs and set a good precedent for all other future trade deals.

In the next legislative session, lawmakers will inevitably find international trade negotiations on their dockets. Driving a hard bargain is the only way to establish a fair playing field for American companies and ensure a strong economic recovery.

Erik Paulsen represented Minnesota in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2009 to 2019.

Curry County Dispute

porary liaison turned into a valuable friendship.

As a citizen I learned that Mr. Boice unknowingly is a person who constantly wants to ‘pay it forward.’ Sometimes his boundless energy gets him in trouble.

2. Former Commissioner Tom Huxley - It was painful to watch as Mr. Huxley looked for every occasion to pull Commissioner Boice’s chain for no good reason nor benefit to the citizens of Curry County.

3. Former Commissioners Brown and Itzen - The homeless, the veterans and poverty stricken of Curry County were thrown under the bus as these two conscientious citizens let the ReHome opportunity go for naught. Sad. 4. Director of Operations Julie Schmelzer Sometimes Impact women are overlooked as men engage in worthless ego escapades. While serving on a Curry County Task Force I got to know this impressive woman and what an asset she is to Curry County citizens. Her talents are presently going to waste as men argue over nothing. A good mediation would help everybody end this ego shaming.

5. Commissioners Gold and Paasch - Sometimes greatness occurs when an

important political position presents itself and goodness has to toil in the back room.

6. Citizen Barnes - Yes, it was sometimes tedious for the audience to absorb what this bearded interesting man had to say about weekly or monthly subjects to the assembled commissioner’s meetings.

One day he let Commissioner Boice know that he was not happy. Commissioner Boice feigned listening then and now. A good, thoughtful mediation could guide him out of the thicket. If only he would listen. A good mediation with good exchanges of information would go a long way here.

Maybe it could even save Julie Schmelzer’s long term impact, much needed right now in Curry County. One of many beautiful resources for a beautiful Oregon corner of the world. If only to listen.

Please listen. It is not now happening in Curry County. While a lot of useless ego shaming is going on.

Contractor Problem

Letters to the editor A letter to Curry County Commissioners: Problem: Curry County, Oregon has an impressive cadre of Commissioners, Staff and Citizens.

Unfortunately, these wonderful people are temporarily lost in a sea of trying to do the right thing while hurting the feelings of others.

Solution: The Director of Operations, Julie Schmelzer should contact The Oregon Mediation Association or the University of Oregon to obtain the paperwork and a panel of suitable mediators. The goal is to help Curry County through this difficult thicket of disputes complicated by the current pandemic. Then take a look at adopting institutional mediation programs with an ongoing panel of trained mediators like the City of Beaverton program. Agreeing to mediation is NOT a sign of weakness. It is the opposite.

Mediation is a non-threatening way of empathizing with the goals and hurt of others.

Mailing: PO Box 700 Brookings, OR

There is a problem with many of the contractors in Brookings. When they’re busy on someone else’s project, they don’t bother to respond to your call.

And when they can’t come by on the day they specified, they don’t bother to call and let you know but leave you sitting there waiting for them the whole day. Very weird to me that they treat potential or current clients with such discourtesy. The client may be more than happy to wait if only they knew for how long. How long does it take to make a phone call?

Thanks for following the guidelines This Thanksgiving I would like to greatly thank the majority of our local stores and businesses who are conscientiously applying the COVID-19 masking recommendations.

This shows you value all of us as customers.

To those stores that limit which customers they value, you must be aware that Amazon appreciates the customers that you turn away.

Carolyn Marie Milliman DAUGHTER - SISTER - WIFE - MOTHER - FRIEND March 2, 1949 - November 30, 2020

The family of Carolyn Milliman has announced her passing on November 30, 2020 Born Carolyn Marie Lopp on March 2, 1949, at St. Francis Hospital in Lynwood, California, she was the middle daughter of Merle and Margaret Lopp. As a child she enjoyed playing with her sisters and neighborhood friends in the large family yard in Bell, California, attending church youth activities and camping.

“I think she could have been a professional baseball player,” said her husband of almost 50 years, Gary. “She could throw and hit a baseball harder than any boy.”

Carolyn was elected as Student Body President at Bell High School, where she graduated in 1967. She was always very proud that she succeeded her father who served as the first Student Body President at Bell 40 years earlier.

After High School Carolyn attended California State College at Los Angeles and later graduated from Antelope Valley College with a degree in Early Childhood Education. She enjoyed working with children, serving as a pre-school teacher and school playground director.

“She had a personality that just drew young children to her. She enjoyed playing with them, hugging them, training them and caring for them,” Gary said.

“She could relate to them like no other adult could seem to do. She was always surrounded by a gang of kids.”

Soon after her marriage to Gary in 1971 she gave birth to daughters Jennifer and Julie and focused her life’s attention on raising her family and supporting her husband. She continued to work with children and as Secretary for Trinity Lutheran Church in Fort Bragg part time. She enjoyed attending business conferences with her husband.

A lifelong Christian, she lived her faith and extended Christian love to all. An inspiration to her family and those around her. Raised in the Methodist Church, she joined her new husband’s Lutheran Church after marriage…pastors from both churches performed the joint wedding ceremony.

Over the years Carolyn was involved in many social and civic activities, being an active member in Native Daughters of the Golden West, a 4-H leader, a softball coach and in her church. She was a docent at the Capella by the Sea, organized the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Central Building in Brookings and founded the annual Elmo Williams Day celebration.

In Fort Bragg Carolyn served on the Board of Directors of the Mendocino Coast Parks and Recreation District. In Brookings, she co-founded the Kids After School Program of Education and Recreation (KASPER).

And, in 2015, Carolyn was named Grand Marshall of the annual Relay for Life event after being diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.

In 1996, Carolyn and her husband organized a group of investors to purchase the historic California Western Railroad…the “Skunk Train”…which operates along a 40-mile route through the Redwoods between Fort Bragg and Willits, California. She served on the railroad Board of Directors and assumed the role of “The Skunk”, a costumed character depicting the railroad’s mascot. After telling a child who asked her for her name that she had none, the child responded “Yes you do. Your name is Twinkle.” Thereafter, Carolyn was also known as “Twinkle the Skunk” and appeared in full costume at many events and social gatherings…visiting skilled nursing homes and homebound elderly…over the next 25 years, Bowling, playing the stuffed-animal machines at Ray’s Market and Chevron, and visiting the Lucky 7 Casino became favorite pastimes. “She was an outstanding bowler,” Gary said. “And she liked to fish, although she really never cared if she caught anything,” Gary said. Her true enjoyment from these activities was interacting with the people she met and with whom she became instant friends.

“Carolyn never met anyone who was not a friend nor anyone she did not care about. Everyone got a hug, and if she could do something more for them she would,” Gary said. “She obtained hundreds of stuffed animals from the machines and gave them all away. She would always have a few stuffed animals in her purse or in the car waiting to brighten a child’s eyes. And she gave many of them to the Police Department for their use in comforting children in distress.”

She also quietly helped indigent people she would encounter along the way with food, tents, sleeping bags, gas or cash…or just words of support and comfort.

A fan of all things Disney and Peanuts, Carolyn met Peanuts creator Charles Schulz while trying to ice skate at the Schulz ice rink in Santa Rosa. Observing her struggle on the ice, Schulz approached her and demonstrated how to lace her skates better. She invited him to ride with her on the Skunk Train, which he did a few weeks later.

“She had a knack for running into celebrities and just engaging them in a conversation about their family. Her personality just drew them in.” Gary said. Such was the case when she met country singers Faith Hill and Tim McGraw on her 65th birthday… when they sang “Happy Birthday” to her while performing in Las Vegas…and when Tim jumped off the stage and presented her with his guitar as a birthday gift.

Carolyn’s silver Ford Explorer Sport Trac became known around Brookings with the magnet messages posted on its sides…some sentimental, some promoting KASPER or local events, some decrying the influence of money in politics.

Moreover, Carolyn was a true partner to her husband, supporting him in his career and activities. Attending City Council meetings and community functions. Travelling with him to professional conferences. Managing the home while her husband was busy serving the community. Supporting him through difficult challenges.

“When I rode in the Azalea Parade as Grand Marshall in 2018, I think more people recognized and cheered for Carolyn than me,” Gary said. “She was the real Grand Marshall in this family.”

Carolyn is survived by her husband Gary, daughters Jennifer White and Julie Conroy, son-inlaw Bill Conroy, grandchildren Michelle and Jared Conroy, sisters Alice Mallory and Patricia Carolyn (far right) with sisters Alice and Patricia Cornelious and their husbands Darryl and Fred…Carolyn’s “bros.”

Service information A private service will be held at the Capella by the Sea, followed by interment at Ward Memorial Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at a later date.

The family has requested memorial contributions be made as tax deductible donations to The City of Brookings, 898 Elk Drive, Brookings, OR 97415 designating the “Carolyn Milliman Memorial Account.” Funds will be used for projects benefitting children.

TENSION WITH SISTER’S FIANCE MAKES HOLIDAY OUTLOOK BLEAK DEAR ABBY: I woke up crying this morning. The holidays are fast approaching, and many of them I spent with my younger sister “Leyla” and her family.

It has been a tradition because our parents are no longer living, and my sisters live on the mainland.

Leyla’s fiance doesn’t care for me, so last year’s celebration wasn’t very fun, although I did enjoy my family. Her fiance and I have never had an argument nor have I ever said anything negative to him. He’s insecure and wants Leyla to himself.

I was gone for the holidays in 2018 because I was caring for our elderly father. I hadn’t been to their home for almost two years before that. During

that time he had my sister all to himself. The last time I visited he wasn’t nice to me. It didn’t feel good.

Now, with this upcoming holiday season, I know I won’t be invited to join them, which makes me sad and mad at the same time. My sister doesn’t deal with life like I do. I am very family-oriented, and I would never let a man come between us. It breaks my heart knowing I won’t be a part of their lives this year for the holidays. I’m 65, and Leyla is 61. We shouldn’t be dealing with this kind of thing in

our lives. What should I do? -SAD ISLAND LADY DEAR SAD: Discuss this with Leyla and find out whether you will be invited to visit this year. Many families are distancing not because of personality conflicts but because of COVID. It may be possible to see your sister via Zoom or outside her home if you arrange to stay elsewhere.

If that isn’t possible, make plans with friends and/or other relatives. Many people will be celebrating Christmas and New Year’s differently this year. You will not be alone in that. *** DEAR ABBY: My 16-yearold son passed away unexpectedly a month ago. Because he was short for his age, he had been bullied during middle and high school. After a minor argument with my husband and me,

he contacted a neighborhood kid who sold him powerful painkillers. This was, to my knowledge, the first time he did this, and I don’t think he realized how devastating the effects could be. (We had previously discussed the dangers of prescription drugs, but it seems this was an impulsive decision.)

My husband and 19-year-old daughter are reeling from this tragedy, and we’re all in therapy now. I need to know if you have any advice on how to grieve. I’m feeling so lost and still in shock, and I have appreciated reading your advice over the years. -STILL IN SHOCK IN COLORADO DEAR STILL: Please accept my deepest sympathy for the tragic loss of your beloved son.

The circumstances of his death make it even more difficult to understand and cope. Fortunately, there is help and support for

families who have lost a sibling or a child.

The Compassionate Friends is a group I have mentioned before in my column. Founded 50 years ago in England and incorporated in the United States in 1978, it exists to provide friendship, understanding and hope to parents who are going through the natural grieving process. To find a chapter near you, contact them online at compassionatefriends. org or by calling 877-969-0010.

Please don’t wait.

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

The street address or other common designation of the real property hereinabove described is purported to be: 930 Mcnamara Avenue, Crescent City, CA 95531. The undersigned disclaims all liability for any incorrectness in said street address or other common designation. Said sale will be made without warranty, express or implied regarding title, possession, or other encumbrances, to satisfy the unpaid obligations secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest and other sums as provided therein; plus advances, if any, thereunder and interest thereon; and plus fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of said obligations at the time of initial publication of this Notice is $100,145.86. In the event that the deed of trust described in this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is secured by real property containing from one to four singlefamily residences, the following notices are provided pursuant to the provisions of Civil Code section 2924f: 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’s 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 916939-0772 or visit this Internet Web site www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 202010153.

Public Notices not be immediately 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 916-939-0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2020-10153 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.
