Commissioners approve study of crumbling road

BY JULIE AKINS

For The Pilot Curry County Road Master, Richard Christensen received unanimous support by Curry County Commissioners on Wednesday to begin a study of the North Bank of Rogue River Road which is failing due to erosion. The cliffside is crumbling from heavy storm surges and rising river levels which knocked out portions of it near mile marker 3.1.

Since the storms of late Decem-

ber walloped the region with heavy rains, drivers have had to use a nine mile detour because the portion of Rogue River Road affected is undermined by rapid erosion.

This stretch of road is no stranger to trouble. It’s had temporary work done in the past but commissioners agreed it’s time for something lasting. The Road Master told them, “This isn’t the end of it. There will be more times when the river is raging and we’ll need to address it in a permanent way.”

Christensen was approved for

$54,000 to drill into the soil for samples which he’ll turn over to an engineer for evaluation of possible fixes. He’ll bring back three options for commissioners to consider and they will request Federal Emergency Management funds to complete the work. They may even receive 75% of the initial $54,000 in study expenses back.

Among the possibilities would be a seven million dollar project which sets up heavy pilings affixed to the mountain which was referred to as the “Cadillac plan” and other

options will be considered which might be less expensive but could require more maintenance. All of these considerations will be explored in greater detail after completing the sample surveys. And all of them would have to consider critical salmon habitat by using “root wads” from trees to create salmon safe areas.

County Counsel Ted Fitzgerald defended an option previously discussed of re-routing the river stating that it might be the best long term course of action and could actually

Commissioners seek food assistance

be an improvement to habitat and residents along the river. If that will be one of the options later offered to commissioners is unknown. But Christensen, Fitzgerald and commissioners said they were reasonably confident FEMA would grant funds on the basis of an emergency regardless of which plan is ultimately chosen. Given the severity of West Coast storms throughout California and Oregon, it’s likely according to Christensen that they are expecting applications for assistance.

Community theater presenting “Into the Woods, Jr.”

The Brookings Harbor Community Theatre is announcing their teen production of Into The Woods, Jr. to be performed at the Chetco Grange the first two weekends in March.

The local theater was given special permission from Musical Theater International to produce Into The Woods Jr. They have a full cast of teens, with a couple of tweens.

“We are pleased to share that they are a remarkable group that has hit the ground running and is working hard already to make the show memorable,” said Director Tiffany Van Maren, along with the theater’s board members.

County gives ARP funds to Brookings food bank

BY JULIE AKINS

For The Pilot

In an acknowledgment of hunger in Curry County, Commissioners on Wednesday accepted a grant request from the American Rescue Plan for $125,000. The grant comes at the request of Pamela Winebarger from the Brookings Harbor Community Food Bank who told commissioners with federal emergency supplemental nutrition programs coming to an end, her office will be “inundated” with hungry people.

Pandemic assistance programs , including supplemental nutrition program increases, are ending in March for individuals and families. “People are struggling with inflation already and making hard choices every day.” Winebarger stated that 14% of all Curry County residents live at or below the poverty level. 33% are working people just above the poverty line as defined in a measurement known as “ALICE” or “asset limited income constrained employed” people. That puts roughly half of Curry County living in poverty profound enough to make hunger a real part of their lives.

Senior citizens are even more at risk with 44% falling into the ALICE measurement and 11% at or below the poverty line. With 56% of seniors experiencing food insecurity, it’s also true that this population is the fastest growing

demographic of homeless residents throughout the state of Oregon.

Winebarger warned commissioners that without help, they will not be able to address the need. She added that extreme weather and roads in parts of the county closed, delivery of food from South Coast Food Share

have been unpredictable and she also noted that despite being the second largest food bank, they are toward the bottom of the amount of food delivered and often have to supplement with items they purchase at retail stores which drives their costs up.

“There’s an old saying, food

is medicine. And food is one of the three requirements to live. We need to accept this grant,” said Winebarger. By unanimous vote the commissioners agreed to accept the grant funding. Exactly how it will be ad-

“Directors Carolyn Poston and Tiffany Van Maren have brought this cast together and recruited an amazing crew. Costumers BJ Farris and Teri McGregor are also hard at work to make all the actors shine as they tell Stephen Sondheim’s iconic tale, with a “Junior” twist,” she said.

The Narrator (Gabby Buchnoff) guides the audience through the story, telling them each character's wish.

Cinderella (Teryn Van Maren) wishes to go to the King's Festival. Jack (Tad Cooper) wishes his cow, Milky-White, would give him milk, and the Baker (Oliver Carlos) and Baker's Wife (Lillian Poston) wish to have a child. Jack's Mother (Aida Cooper) wishes for gold and a less foolish son. Cinderella's Stepmother (Sage Farley) and her stepsisters, Florinda (Iris Powers) and Lucinda (Sequoia Merten), laugh at Cinderella's wish. With Cinderella's Father (Erik Cooper), they ride off to the ball without Cinderella, leaving her behind in tears.

After stopping at the bakery for sweets, Little Red Ridinghood (Amber Van Maren) prepares to travel into the woods to see her sick Granny (Oceana Powers).

At their home, the Baker and his Wife are visited by the Witch (Emmy Armstrong) next door. She reveals that the Baker's father is the reason the couple's wish will never come true. She explains that, in the past, for his pregnant mother, the Baker's father stole magical beans from the Witch's garden. To punish them, the Witch placed a curse

Oregon's nonfarm payroll employment rises by 6,100

In Oregon, nonfarm payroll employment rose by 6,100 jobs in December, following a gain of 8,200jobs in November. The gains in December were largest in manufacturing (+2,400 jobs), construction (+1,300), and professional and business services (+1,100). The largest decline in December was in other services, which cut 500 jobs.

Oregon’s private sector added 5,600 jobs in December, reaching another all-time high of 1,694,200. This was 22,500 jobs, or 1.3%, above the pre-recession peak in February 2020.

Construction continued its rapid expansion in December. The industry added 10,200 jobs in 2022, for an annual growth rate of 9.1%. Gains were widespread

throughout the industry, with all published components growing between 5.9% and 14.9% over that 12-month period. Building equipment contractors (+3,700 jobs, or 11.5%) and building finishing contractors (+2,200 jobs, or 14.9%) grew at the fastest rate.

Leisure and hospitality is still substantially below its pre-pandemic peak. But its revised gain of 1,500 jobs in November, coupled with its gain of 600 in December, kept the industry on its recent upward trajectory. Over the past 12 months it added 16,900 jobs, accounting for a quarter of Oregon’s privatesector job gains.

Oregon’s unemployment rate rose to 4.5% in December, from 4.3%, as revised, in November.

It is with great sadness that the family of Larry Ellis announces his passing on Wednesday, January 11, 2023 in Brookings, Oregon.

Larry fought a valiant fight against Myelofibrosis/ Cancer with much courage and strength. He was an amazing son, brother, uncle, great uncle, and best friend.

Born in Bremerton Washington on September 25, 1951, he moved to Southern California in 1952. Larry graduated from Fullerton College with his music degree. Larry was an accomplished pianist, photographer, fisherman, and writer.

Larry moved to Brookings, Oregon in 1981 where his writing career really took off. His popular column, On The Water, was eagerly read by fishermen and women in Brookings and across the United States.

Larry’s vast knowledge of fishing and his entertaining writing style, along with his genuine love of the sport, were invaluable assets to all he wrote for. Larry was a well-known writer for Oregon, Washington

and California Fishing and Hunting News, Northwest Sportsman, California Sportsman, Pacific Coast Sportfishing, and Salmon Trout Steelheader Magazine, and was the author of 2 books.

Larry used his gift of writing, sharing his expertise of fishing to teach others to be successful at the sport he loved so much.

Larry is survived by his mother, his sister, the love of his life, his youngest brother, nephews, nieces, along with great nephews and nieces and many cousins.

We thank Dr. Sandra Taylor for her steadfast care of our precious Larry.

A private Celebration of Life will be conducted by family.

As Larry would say “Tight lines”

To register, or for if you have any questions about the workshops, please contact Julie with AllCare Health at 541-471-4106 ext. 8276. You can also follow Curry County Prevention on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok for any updates and further information on this and other Prevention and Cessation happenings throughout Curry County. The Curry Prevention team looks forward to providing our wonderful community with this opportunity. , and the tools and resources needed for a healthy lifestyle.

In 2021, there were 19 recreational boating fatalities, and in 2020, there were 26, which was the highest number since 1993 with 25. 2022 ended with 16 boating fatalities.

Brian Paulsen, Boating Safety Program Manager for the agency says, “Most of the fatalities came down to people not wearing life jackets.”

Eleven fatalities involved non-motorized boats (i.e., rafts, kayaks, SUPs, a canoe and a sailboat without auxiliary power). Five of the motorized fatalities included a PWC and smaller open motorboats. Ten victims out of the 16 were not wearing a life jacket.

Inflatable life jackets are popular with many boaters,

but Paulsen says they are not for everyone. “We investigate incidents where life jackets fail to inflate. What we generally find is that the owner didn’t service the life jacket properly or it wasn’t armed with a CO2 cartridge.”

Paulsen adds, “Inflatable life jackets are machines that must be tested and maintained. Every person who uses an inflatable should routinely test it to make sure it’s working correctly. There are also hybrid life jackets available with foam flotation and an inflation mechanism.

Hybrid life jackets provide immediate flotation if you fall overboard and if you need more flotation for the conditions, you can manually activate the inflation.” says Paulsen.

Another popular boating trend is stand up paddleboarding. Stand up paddleboarders (SUPs) may not

know the importance of wearing the appropriate leash for the water dynamics. For example, the Marine Board and American Canoe Association recommend wearing a quick-release leash on moving water, especially on rivers with obstructions.

According to Paulsen, a quick-release leash differs from an ankle leash and attaches to the paddler’s life jacket. “For example, if the paddler is on a river with swift current and is unable to paddle away from a strainer in time, they can pull the release mechanism from their life jacket.

"This will detach them from the leash which stays with the board so that they won’t get entangled.” Paulsen adds, “The leash and board may get caught up on the strainer, but the paddler will be able to stay afloat and self-rescue.”

Atmospheric rivers endanger the West

By DAVE MARSTON

Moab, Utah, gets just eight inches of rain per year, yet rainwater flooded John Weisheit’s basement last summer. Extremes are common in a desert: Rain and snow are rare, and a deluge can cause flooding.

Weisheit, 68, co-director of Living Rivers and a former Colorado River guide, has long warned the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation that its two biggest dams on the Colorado River could become useless because of prolonged drought.

Although recently, at a BuRec conference, he also warned that “atmospheric rivers” could overtop both dams, demolishing them and causing widespread flooding.

Weisheit points to BuRec research by Robert Swain in 2004, showing an 1884 spring runoff that delivered two years’ worth of Colorado River flows in just four months.

California well knows the damage that long, narrow corridors of water vapor — atmospheric rivers — can do. Starting in December, one atmospheric storm followed another over the state, dumping water and snow on already saturated ground.

The multiple storms moved fast, sometimes over 60 miles per hour, and they quickly dropped their load. Atmospheric rivers can carry water vapor equal to 27 Mississippi Rivers.

These storms happen every year, but what makes them feel new is their ferocity, which some scientists blame on climate change warming the oceans and heating the air to make more powerful storms.

In California, overwhelmed storm drains sent polluted water to the sea. Roads became waterways, sinkholes opened up to capture cars and their drivers, and houses flooded. At least 22 people died.

Where do these fast-moving storms come from? Mostly north and south of Hawaii, then they barrel directly towards California and into the central West, says F. Martin Ralph, who directs the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

“Forty percent of the snowpack in the upper Colorado in the winter is from atmospheric river storms penetrating that far inland,” he adds.

The real risk is when storms stack up as they did in California. That happened in spades during the winter of 1861-1862, in the middle of a decade-long drought, when the West endured 44 days of rain and wet snow.

Janell

In response to Ann Williams letter January 13.

Brookings used to be such a nice quiet little town. Remember? But, sadly, reasonable people at city hall have been replaced with rednecks and people who just can't seem to get a grasp on where we are going and how to keep Brookings a nice place

California Governor-elect Leland Stanford rowed to a soggy oath-ofoffice ceremony in flooded Sacramento, just before fleeing with state leaders to San Francisco.

Water covered California’s inland valley for three months, and paddle wheel steamers navigated over submerged farmlands and inland towns. The state went bankrupt, and its economy collapsed as mining and farming operations were bogged down, one quarter of livestock drowned or starved, and 4000 people died.

In Utah that winter, John Doyle Lee chronicled the washing away of the town of Santa Clara along the tiny Santa Clara River near St. George. Buildings and farms floated away leaving only a single wall of a rock fort that townspeople had built on high ground.

Weisheit knows this history well because he’s been part of a team of “paleoflood” investigators, a group of scientists and river experts. To document just how high floodwaters rose in the past, researchers climb valley walls. The Journal of Hydrology says they seek “fine grained sediments, mainly sand.”

It's a peculiar science, searching for sand bars and driftwood perched 60 feet above the river.

The Green River contributes roughly half the water that’s in the Lower Colorado River, and in 2005, Weisheit and other investigators found six flood sites along the Green River near Moab, Utah. Weisheit says several sites showed the river running at 275,000 cubic feet per second (cfs).

If the Green River merged with the Colorado River, also at flood, the Colorado River would carry almost five times more water than the 120,000 cfs that barreled into Glen Canyon Dam, some 160 miles below Moab, in 1984. That epic runoff nearly wiped out Glen Canyon Dam.

Now that we’ve remembered the damage that atmospheric river storms can do, Weisheit believes that Bureau of Reclamation must tear down Glen Canyon — now.

He likes to quote Western historian Patty Limerick, who told the Bureau of Reclamation, at a University of Utah conference in 2007, what she really thought: “The Bureau can only handle little droughts and little floods. When the big ones arrive, the system will fail.”

Opinion: Going Green Is a Palpable Need but a Tough Transition

By LLEWELLYN KING InsideSources.com

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — I first heard about global warming being attributable to human activity about 50 years ago. Back then, it was just a curiosity, a matter of academic discussion.

It didn’t engage the environmental movement, which marshaled opposition to nuclear and firmly advocated coal as an alternative.

Twenty years on, there was concern about global warming. I heard competing arguments about the threat at many locations, from Columbia University to the Aspen Institute. There was conflicting data from NASA and other federal entities. No action was proposed. The issue might have crystallized earlier if it hadn’t been that between 1973 and 1989, the great concern was energy supply. The threat to humanity wasn’t the abundance of fossil fuels.

It was the fear that there weren’t enough of them.

The solar and wind industries grew not as an alternative but rather as a substitution. Today, they are the alternative.

Now, the world faces a more fearsome future: global warming and all of its consequences. These are on view: sea-level rise, droughts, floods, extreme cold, excessive heat, severe out-of-season storms, fires, water shortages, and crop failures.

Sea-level rise affects the very existence of many small island

she is in such trouble. If it walks like a duck ... And Hedenskog himself is so smug, he forgets that in the last election he only won because he got more votes than the other two candidates but, he did not get a majority of the votes of the citizens. Hedenskog has lost his credibility. Yes, we all know about Ms. Howard - all the businesses that put out "gone to lunch" signs when they see her pull into their lot. We all know, it's just not official enough to bounce her out on her ear as she deserves.

nations, as the prime minister of Tonga, Siaosi Slavonia, made clear here at the annual assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), an intergovernmental group with 167 member nations.

It also affects densely populated countries like Bangladesh, where large, low-lying areas may be flooded, driving off people and destroying agricultural land. Salt works on food, not on food crops.

Sea-level rise threatens the U.S. coasts — the problem is most acute for cities such as Boston, New York, Miami, Charleston, Galveston and San Mateo. Flooding first, then submergence.

How does human catastrophe begin? Sometimes it is sudden and explosive, like an earthquake. Sometimes it advertises its arrival ahead of time. So it is with the Earth’s warming.

Delegates at the IRENA assembly felt that the bell of climate catastrophe tolls for their countries and their families. There was none of the disputations that normally attend climate discussions. Unity was a feature of this one.

The challenge was framed articulately and succinctly by John Kerry, U.S. special presidential envoy for climate. Kerry’s points:

—Global warming is real, and the evidence is everywhere.

—The world can’t reach its Paris Agreement goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030 or the ultimate one of net-zero carbon by 2050 unless drastic

Recently KCIW posted a news expose regarding the CCEC Beacon Broadband fiber optic venture which illustrates the precarious nature of this hugely expensive and out of control project. Though our CCEC warned us that federal funding from the Rural Development Opportunity Fund (RDOF) is critical to the development of its internet services, it appears CCEC Leadership delivered to the Members information which obscured facts regarding the nature of the RDOF funding and its impact on our COOP fiber optic venture. This long-term effort to befog CCEC Members by our COOP-Leadership surfaced in a CCEC press

action is taken.

—Warming won’t be reversed by economically weak countries but rather by rich ones, which are most responsible for it. Kerry said 120 less-developed countries produce only 1 percent of the greenhouse gases while the 20 richest produce 80 percent.

—Kerry, notably, declared that the technologies for climate remediation must come from the private sector. He wants business and private investment mobilized.

The emphasis at this assembly has been on wind, solar and green hydrogen.

Wave power and geothermal have been mentioned mostly in passing. Nuclear got no hearing. This may be because it isn’t renewable technically. But it does offer the possibility for vast amounts of carbon-free electricity. It is classed as a “green” source by many government institutions and is now embraced by many environmentalists.

The fact that this conference has been held here is of more than passing interest. Prima facie, Abu Dhabi is striving to go green. It has made a huge solar commitment to the Al Dhafra project. When finished, it will be the world’s largest single solar facility. Abu Dhabi is also installing a few wind turbines.

announcement delivered by then CCEC Board President John Herzog in December 3, 2020, when RDOF funding was initially granted. Then Herzog wrote, “… More than two years of research and planning have paid off. We now have grant funding to make it work!” (See: https:// ccec.coop/beacon-broadband-accepts-federal-funding-fiber-internet-project)

Both points offered by Herzog in the CCEC press release are misleading. There is no research compiled and presented to members which demonstrates the commercial viability of BBI.

Further, the referenced grant of RDOF funds was almost irrelevant compared to the original $60-plus million dollar estimated cost for BBI’s fiber optic network deployment intended to serve just CCEC Members.

To compound the injury to members through Herzog’s misleading information, we now know the multi-million dollar Federal grant requires our CCEC/BBI to build a much larger fiber network to include NON-CCEC Neighborhoods!

Amazingly, our COOP-Members now are obligated to pay at least $60 million for the original Members-only network plus the additional cost of the large network serving NON-MEMBERS. Our Electric Coop Concerned Members are petitioning our Board for a Special Member Meeting to discuss this matter. Email me to receive your copy of the petition.

Commonly known as: 740 Vipond Dr, Crescent City, CA 95531-7958. MORE

ACCURATELY DESCRIBED AS LOT 10 OF VIPOND SUBDIVISION ACCORDING TO THE MAP THEREOF FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY RECORDER OF DEL NORTE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, ON JUNE 26, 1953 IN BOOK 4 OF MAPS, PAGE 15. EXCEPTING

THEREFROM THE FOLLOWING: 1. DEED TO WILLIAM D. GAUDEM, ET UX, RECORDED AUGUST 29, 1967, IN BOOK 129 OF OFFICIAL RECORDS, PAGE 377, DEL NORTE COUNTY RECORDS. 2. DEED TO BYRON K. JUSTUS. ET UX, RECORDED JANUARY 20, 1970, IN BOOK 146 OF OFFICIAL RECORDS, PAGE 611, DEL NORTE COUNTY RECORDS. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 740 VIPOND DR, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges, and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses, and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $219,296.09.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned

written Notice

of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW. AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 105807-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT:

Effective 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 105807-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Election 2024: Fagan in, Read out, and Rosenblum mum so far

BY GARY A. WARNER Oregon Capital Bureau

Secretary of State Shemia

Fagan gave an exuberant response when asked Friday if she would seek re-election in 2024.

"Hell yes, I'm running," Fagan said through spokesman Ben Morris. "It’s one of the greatest honors of my life to serve as Secretary of State, and I'd be delighted if Oregonians gave me four more years."

With the 2022 election over and the winners just sworn into office, the question of who is running and who is out in 2024 is up next on the political calendar.

Secretary of State is one of three top offices on the ballot in 2024. Treasurer and Attorney General are also up for a vote in 2024.

Neither U.S. Senate seat held by Oregon's Democratic duo is on the ballot in 2024, with Sen. Jeff Merkley having won a six-year term in 2020 and Sen. Ron Wyden winning re-election last November.

The turnout is expected to be heavy because 2024 will be a presidential election year. Former President Donald Trump has already declared for the Republican nomination. President Joe

Biden is expected to seek another term and enter the Democratic primaries.

In Oregon, each of the three major state executive offices has a different storyline.

Fagan was first elected in 2020 and can seek another term in 2024. But if re-elected, the Oregon constitution's term limits bar a third consecutive bid in 2028.

Treasurer Tobias Read can't run again — he's served two terms and under constitutional term limits will leave office after his successor is elected in November 2024.

Read made an unsuccessful bid for governor in 2022, losing the Democratic primary to former House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland.

Kotek won a three-way race for the state's top job and was sworn into office on Jan. 9.

Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum can run for another term in 2024. The office heading the state's Department of Justice was originally appointed. Since it is not mentioned in the Oregon Constitution term limits, there's no cap on how many times the state's top law enforcement official can seek another four years in the job.

Rosenblum was first elected in 2012 and has won re-election in 2016 and 2020.

Rosenblum hasn't commented as yet whether she will seek another four years in office.

Kristina Edmundson, communications director for the Oregon Department of Justice, said last week that she doesn't comment on political topics relating to the attorney general, but said she would send a contact name by next week.

Rosenblum last week released a list of actions she wants the legislature to take up in 2023.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade right to an abortion,

Rosenblum said the state needed to ensure that its own laws — which are in state statute — are not undermined.

Rosenblum also advocated for action against the exploitation of workers in labor trafficking, and for stronger protections for consumer privacy amid recent revelations that Facebook and other companies have misused customer data.

“I hope the 2023 legislative session will prioritize protecting our most vulnerable and giving all Oregonians a voice and a seat at the table,” Rosenblum

said in a statement released by her office.

Fagan raised and spent over $3.4 million to win election in 2020, defeating Sen. Mark Hass, D-Portland, in the Democratic primary, by 4,400 votes out of 578,737 cast.

Terrebonne attorney Jamie McLeod-Skinner finished third in the race.

Fagan defeated Sen. Kim Thatcher, R-Salem, in the November election, winning 50.3% to 43.2% of the vote, with the remainder going to minor party candidates.

Despite her demonstrated fundraising prowess, Fagan hasn't cranked up the money

machinery yet. Her campaign account currently has $532 in the bank, with about $18,000 in as yet unpaid expenditures putting her in the red very early in the campaigning season. Rosenblum, who raised just under $787,000 in 2020, faced no opposition in the Democratic primary. She defeated Republican Michael Cross 56% to 41.3%. While not quite as low on cash as Fagan with 21 months to go until November 2024, Rosenblum's fundraising is also showing its still the political offseason. She has $87,568 in the bank as of last week.

The Oregon State University Board of Trustees met Friday and heard an update on the university’s plan to manage the Elliott State Research Forest.

OSU and state officials, with consultation from a

stakeholder group, are negotiating terms of a potential agreement for the university to provide research management of the 82,000-acre forest, which is situated in the Coast Range near Reedsport. The OSU Board of Trustees is expected to consider the terms of a potential agreement at its April 14 meeting.

If adopted, the resulting agreement would be voted on by a new Elliott State Research Forest Authority Board of Directors anticipated to be formed by the state on Jan. 1, 2024.

“The university envisions the forest supporting scientific collaboration that addresses critical questions related to

forest ecosystems, management and sustainability,” said Tom DeLuca, dean of OSU’s College of Forestry.

Three years ago, Oregon’s State Land Board asked OSU and the Department of State Lands to examine the potential for the Elliott State Forest’s future. Since then, the university has worked with the Department of State Lands and many stakeholder groups and community members to develop a proposed vision for turning the forest into a world-class research location while also incorporating public values such as recreation, conservation, education, cultural values and the local economy.

Trustees heard support for the university to pursue management of the research forest by four members of the forest advisory board: Keith Tymchuk, Reedsport community leader; Bob Sallinger, conservation director for the Portland Audubon Society; Melissa Cribbins, former Coos County Commissioner; and Colin Beck, a representative of the Confederated

Burrito Penny Lane

Burrito is a big, sweet, loving, absolute tank! The caveat is this guy can jump a six foot fence! SCHS will provide an approved home a outdoor covered kennel to keep him safe if he has to be home alone! He does well with other dogs, can pull initially on a leash, but calms down and is by your side soon after you start walking.

want to take every step they can to make the relationship with a new companion animal work. That often means nding ways to help the cat feel comfortable by acclimating it to its new home. The length of time it will take to adjust to a new environment depends on the cat’s temperament. However, these tips can help.

• Pick a familiar item and bring it with you. Does the cat have a favorite toy, help him or her adjust more quickly.

• Select a room as a home base. Introducing the cat to the entire home and all of the people in it can be overwhelming.

the cat can call home for the time being. With the door closed, this

small space can be comforting and let the cat learn the smells and sounds of the home before it ventures into other areas. Remember to visit often and provide plenty of love and affection as tolerated.

• Avoid lots of traf c. Now is not the time to host a house party. Remove stressors like large crowds, increased foot traf c and kids’ play dates. Loud sounds and sudden movements can put cats on edge.

• Don’t force the issue. The kitty will start to come around when he or she is ready. Don’t be compelled to pull the pet out from hiding under a bed or couch; let the cat set the pace.

• Keep kids away. Young children tend to be boisterous and jerky, which isn’t a good mix with a skittish cat. While the cat is acclimating, keep young children away. When they are introduced, do so in small intervals and supervise carefully so the cat does not get hurt and children are not

accidentally scratched or bitten by a scared cat.

• Provide a quiet area. Perhaps that rst room or a cozy nook can be the cat’s quiet spot. According to cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy, cats need solitude and quiet time. A box or basket lined with soft, washable bedding in a corner can serve as a place for a cat to retire to.

• Introduce existing pets slowly. Existing pets should be introduced gradually. Keep a dog con ned until the cat feels secure in the home. Two altered cats can become friends in the same home. However, older cats often are more accepting of kittens than other adults. Keep this in mind when making introductions.

Cats are happiest when they’ve had time to settle and get used to surroundings in their new home. Once the adoption takes place, give the cat plenty of time to become comfortable in its new environment.
