From Tents to Blooms:
How One Entrepreneur Built a Thriving Event and
Floral Business
~This is part of a women in business series~
BY HENRY JOHNSON Press Release
The LoveYour4th group, based in Brookings-Harbor, Oregon, launched its 2025 fundraising campaign this Valentine’s Day with a goal of raising $50,000. This community-driven effort is in full swing to ensure the 4th of July fireworks display continues for both local and visitor alike.
Since its establishment in 2020, LoveYour4th has grown the local celebration into the second-largest 4th of July fireworks show in Oregon. Thanks to dedicated volunteers, every dollar raised directly funds the fireworks display, secures necessary permits, and covers insurance costs.
LoveYour4th raises funds through two primary methods. First, the group offers advertising and sponsorship packages to local businesses, which include newspaper, radio, and social media promotions throughout the tourist season, culminating in the annual fireworks show. These sponsorships not only support the event but also provide valuable visibility for businesses serving both locals and visitors.

City Restructures, Leading to Staff Reassignment
BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot
The Gold Beach City Council recently approved a restructuring plan that has resulted in a shift in staff responsibilities. The changes were prompted by the previous city manager, Anthony Pagano, who, after a year and a half in the role, felt the position wasn't the right fit and resigned.
The city council, wishing to retain his experience, negotiated a new position for him as the Community Development Director. This reassignment was effective immediately following the council's approval.
“Just knowing that we're going into a growth phase,” said Jordan White, Gold Beach City Administrator Pro-Tem, “we redirected our focus to make sure that we support this as a priority.”
To manage the transition, the council brought in White who previously worked for the city in various roles, including with the police department. White will be assisting with an audit of current city operations and working with the former city manager to refine the job description for a new city administrator.
The city plans to advertise for the city administrator position within the next few months. The decision to pursue a part-time or full-time role will depend on the city’s financial needs.
The restructuring comes as the city prepares to re-evaluate its priorities and engage the community through citizen advisory boards. City officials see this as a crucial time to refocus and ensure they are supporting the city’s growth phase.
“It's just a great time for the city to be re-evaluating priorities. We're about to go down the road of re-evaluating activities planned for the city,” said White. “Bringing more citizen advisory boards is an important to the community, so doing these changes now is the right time for that.”
The former city manager's new role as Community Development Director will focus on planning, grants and overseeing city programs. This allows him to concentrate on his area of expertise, community development and project management, which he reportedly enjoyed most in his previous role.
“I think the city council and mayor we're fabulous at supporting his (Pagano) choice,” said White. “And the decision of the city to keep Anthony as an employee.”
City officials emphasized that this change was a collaborative decision and reflects a commitment to supporting both the employee and the city's needs. They believe this restructuring will ultimately benefit the city as it moves forward.

California Continues to Oppose Cooperation with ICE
Crossword solution is on Page 7
by ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc
8USC 1373 prohibits cities and States from interfering with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) mission The supremacy clause of the Constitution, Article VI, clause 2 assures Washington DC prevailing Nonetheless, California and 10 other States vow not to cooperate with ICE in turning over illegal alien criminals, the so-called most dangerous of murderers, rapists, drug and sex traffickers… the worst of the worst. California, District of Columbia, Colorado, Connecticut,
Illinois. Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Vermont, Rhode Island, Oregon and Washington all embrace Sanctuary Values, and embracing illegal aliens into the USA.
California passed the California Values Act, SB 54, in 2017. At least 16 cities and counties in California opposed Sanctuary State. Crescent City and Del Norte County were NOT among the list of 16. The Triplicate received several queries about enforcement of Federal law in Del Norte County. Sheriff Garrett Scott was clear. “ I will follow Federal law. The Supremacy rule in the Constitution prevails. The Del
Norte Sheriff will fully cooperate with ICE. The same question to Chief Richard Griffin, Crescent City and our local California Highway Patrol office did not respond to the Triplicate question, will your agency cooperate with ICE?
California bolstered its opposition to ICE by passing a $50 million law to make California Trump-proof. The Governor signed the bill into law, last week.
ICE Director Tom Homan underscores his agents are at greater risk working in uncooperative cities and States.

Citing a trend following a recent Ninth District Court of Appeals decision involving qualified immunity on mental health calls, Del Norte Sheriff Garrett Scott will no longer dispatch his deputies to noncriminal mental health calls. The Appeals Court ruled on a 2019 Las Vegas incident where a detained individual called 9-1-1 for help. Responding officers used force on the individual leading to rendering the individual unconscious and who later died in custody. The Court ruled the force was unreasonable and questioned whether officers should have been involved at all, as no crime had been committed. Qualified immunity is at stake.
Sheriff Garrett Scott responded, “ There must a crime in progress before our deputies will be dispatched. Law enforcement has been pushed back so far by the Courts, the message is clear: law enforcement has no place in dealing with mental health issues.”
“The responsibility of assisting those with mental health needs belongs with the trained staff from the mobile crisis units from Dept.of Health and Human Services,” continued the Sheriff. Under the new policy, dispatchers will ask callers if a criminal element or danger to others is present.
Scott underscored his hope the U.S Supreme Court will take up Ninth District Court. Training for all staff begins immediately.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF:
Gordon Leigh Erwin Case Number: PB257006
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Gordon Leigh Erwin
A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Thomas V. Haag, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte.
The petition for probate requests that: Thomas V. Haag be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: March 7, 2025
Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

DETAILED SUMMARY OF THE MATTER THAT PLAINTIFF SEEKS TO VALIDATE:
The California Department of Water Resources (Department) operates facilities which conserve, store, transport and deliver water to urban and agricultural water agencies throughout the State. Since 1960, the Department has approved, planned and constructed a system of water storage and transportation and power generation facilities (the State Water Project). Currently, State Water Project water is conveyed
across the SacramentoSan Joaquin Delta through the natural channels of the Delta formed by the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, as those channels have been modified over the past 150 years.
The Department has undertaken to develop a comprehensive plan for the effective delivery of State Water Project water across the Delta. The Department is currently undertaking planning and design activities regarding potential new Delta conveyance facilities. The facilities under review would transport water from new intake points on the Sacramento River at the northern edge of the Delta through an underground tunnel running below the natural waterways of the Delta to State Water Project export facilities at or below the southern edge of the Delta. These facilities would be a further modification of the Feather River Project authorized pursuant to the Central Valley Project Act, Water Code sections 11100 et seq.
The Department has established a proposed revenue bond financing to finance the cost of the environmental review, planning, engineering and design, and if and when appropriate, the acquisition and construction of Delta conveyance facilities.
On January 6, 2025, the Department adopted a bond resolution authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds for those purposes. Under the bond resolution, bonds for construction cannot be issued unless specific conditions precedent are satisfied, which include regulatory and statutory requirements regarding the physical and environmental aspects of approving, constructing, and operating Delta conveyance facilities. On January 7, 2025, the Department filed a validation action to confirm the legal validity of the Department’s proposed bond financing. A validation action is a judicial proceeding in which a governmental agency, like the Department, can confirm the validity of a proposed financial transaction before it commits to or undertakes the transaction. The Department’s validation complaint, the bond resolution, and a copy of this Summons are available on the Department’s internet website at: https:// water.ca.gov/Programs/ State-Water-Project/ Delta-Conveyance/PublicInformation.

Warning issued concerning 'pig butchering' scams
JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.
Oregon residents should avoid responding to an unexpected text or direct message from a stranger, according to the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation (DFR).
The DFR has issued a warning to be wary of such messages because they might be the first step in a relationship investment scam, also known as a romance scam or "pig butchering."
These scams often involve fraudsters contacting targets seemingly at random, using social media or common communication apps, according to the Oregon Department of Business & Consumer Services (DFR)
"The scammer gains the target's trust, often by starting a romantic relationship or a friendship," the DFR states in a release.
"The scammer then starts to convince the victim to invest in phony investments, including fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes, before falsely claiming the initial investment grew significantly. The scammer then asks for more money and demands payment of fees or taxes if the victim requests to withdraw the funds."
Even when the victim pays the withdrawal fees, the fraudster does not refund the victim's money, but rather disappears with the funds without any further communication, the DFR states in the release.
According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), there are several warning signs to
be aware of involving these types of scams:
Unexpected contact: Never respond to unsolicited messages from unknown contacts, even about seemingly benign topics, especially through text message or on encrypted messaging applications like WhatsApp or Telegram.
Refusal to participate in video chats: If someone you have been messaging declines to interact face-to-face, they likely are not the person from the profile photo.
Request for financial information: Don't share any personal financial information with anyone you have never met in person. If a new virtual friend or romantic connection starts making financial inquiries, put the brakes on the relationship.
Invitation to invest in specific financial products: Be wary of any unsolicited investment advice or tips, particularly from someone you have spoken to only online, even if they suggest you trade through your own account. Always question what a source has to gain from sharing tips with you and whether the transaction fits with your financial goals and investment strategy. Unknown or confusing investment opportunity: Carefully evaluate the product, as well as the person or company requesting your investment. Along with a basic search, try adding words such as "scam" or "fraud" to see what results come up. Consider running recommendations by a third party or an investment professional who has no stake in the investment and use FINRA BrokerCheck

Unfamiliar trading platforms: Do extensive research before moving any money, particularly in an emerging market such as cryptocurrency, which has hundreds of exchanges and new avenues for trading that continue to evolve. Who controls the platform? What security measures are in place? How can you withdraw funds if needed? If you don't know the answers to those questions, do not put your assets there.
Exaggerated claims and elevated emotions: Take a closer look at any investment that offers much higher than average returns or is
touted as "guaranteed." Fraudsters will also often use their knowledge about you to appeal to your emotions -- for example, "Don't you want to have money to send your kids to college?" Sense of urgency about an upcoming news announcement or share price increase: Remember that insider trading is illegal. You should never trade in shares of a company on the basis of material, nonpublic information.
"Romance and crypto scams continue to be the source of significant losses for consumers," DFR administrator TK Keen said. "Consumers who receive contacts out of the blue through messaging apps on their
phone or other means should be especially suspicious of those trying to entice them into cryptocurrency or any other investments."
Several states and federal authorities have issued warnings about this type of fraud.
BY THE NUMBERS
In 2023, investment fraud caused the highest losses of any scam reported by the public to the FBI's Internet Crimes Complaint Center (IC3), totaling $4.57 billion, a 38 percent increase from 2022. Frauds involving cryptocurrency, including relationship investment scams, increased from $2.57 million in 2022 to $3.96 billion in 2023, a 53 percent rise.

Oregon Cracks Down on Poaching with Increased Rewards
and Enforcement
BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot
Oregon is bolstering its
against poaching with increased rewards for tipsters and stronger enforcement, aiming to protect the state's diverse
and wildlife populations for future generations.
A collaborative effort between the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), the Oregon State Police Fish & Wildlife (OSP F&W), and the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ), along with conservation, recreation, and business groups, is driving the initiative.
The state is one of only two in the nation (along with Alaska) that relies on its state police for wildlife enforcement, rather than dedicated game wardens.
In 2019, the Oregon Legislature recognized the need for increased anti-poaching efforts and approved funding to add OSP troopers and a sergeant to the ranks.
A key component of the strategy is the Turn In Poachers (TIP) Line, which incentivizes reporting of illegal hunting and fishing activities. Rewards for reporting certain fishing violations that lead to an arrest or citation have doubled to $400, thanks to partnerships with the Oregon Hunters Association (OHA), Coastal Conserva-
tion Association of Oregon (CCA Oregon), and The Association of Northwest Steelheaders (ANWS).
These enhanced rewards cover a range of offenses, including snagging (intentionally hooking fish outside the mouth), illegal take methods, releasing non-native species, retaining protected species, and exceeding bag limits.
"This move reinforces conservation efforts across the state," said Pat Hoglund, Executive Director of CCA Oregon.
The TIP program also offers rewards for reporting illegal big game hunting and other wildlife crimes as well as illegal guiding activities.
In 2024, OHA awarded nearly $32,000 to individuals whose tips led to citations or arrests, including $1,000 provided by the Oregon Outdoor Guide Association (OOGA) for information on illegal guides.
Some tipsters opted for hunter preference points instead of cash, with one hundred thirty-nine points awarded in 2024. The Oregon Wildlife Coalition (OWC) also contributed $1,000 for reports on illegally killed raptors and other birds.
“The TIP rewards program reflects OHA's commitment to wildlife conservation,” stated Steve Hagan, President of OHA.
Despite these efforts, poaching remains a significant problem. According to protectoregonswildlife. com, over four thousand two hundred fifty aquatic species, three hundred big game animals and one hundred fifty birds were illegally taken in Oregon in 2022. The breakdown includes hundreds of salmon, steelhead, ground fish, trout, sturgeon, clams, crabs, deer, elk, bears and other species.
The impact of poaching extends beyond the loss of individual animals. It disrupts ecosystems, deprives legal hunters and anglers of opportunities, reduces conservation funding, increases enforcement costs and can lead to stricter regulations.
OSP F&W Troopers recover an estimated one hundred fifty deer, one hundred thirty elk, twenty bears and at least ten sturgeons killed illegally each year.
The problem is pervasive. In 2022 alone, nearly 5,000 animals were poached in Oregon, and it's estimated that only five percent of these crimes are ever detected and prosecuted. While poaching often conjures images of elephants and tigers, the illegal killing of Oregon’s fish and wildlife is a serious issue that threatens the state’s natural heritage.
The group relies on financial contributions from community members.
As a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, LoveYour4th ensures that all donations and sponsorships can be claimed as either a business expense or a tax-deductible contribution.
The 4th of July fireworks show is more than just an event—it’s a cherished tradition that builds community spirit and honors our nation’s history. Families and friends gather to celebrate and remember.
Additionally, the event serves as a significant economic driver for
Brookings, attracting tourists who support local businesses, restaurants, and hotels. Without sufficient funding, the event faces the risk of cancellation or major reduction.
LoveYour4th is always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to support fundraising efforts. Opportunities include managing donation collection jars at local businesses, distributing flyers, and assisting with event setup and cleanup. Even a few hours of volunteer work can make a meaningful impact.
Despite strong community enthusiasm, this year’s fundraising efforts face several challenges. Rising costs for fireworks, insurance, and permits make
every dollar more crucial than ever. Last year, donations were lower than expected, and organizers are working diligently to avoid a repeat. Another challenge is event confusion. Many activities take place in Brookings during the 4th of July, but LoveYour4th is the organization dedicated to the fireworks display. Without adequate financial support, this tradition may not be able to continue. Now is the time for the Brookings community to come together and ensure that the tradition lives on. Whether through business sponsorships, individual donations, or volunteer work, every effort counts. To the founders, LoveYour4th is about more than just fireworks. It’s about supporting family, building up our small business community, and honoring the traditions of our past. Events like this bring people together, build connections, and strengthen our town. Those interested in supporting the event can donate through LoveYour4th.com or send a check or money order to: CCED, LoveYour4th, PO Box 6365, Brookings, OR 97415. Every donation, big or small, helps keep this tradition alive. If one is interested in helping, she can contact the group at: LoveYour4th@gmail.com.
Hunt Responsibly: Acquiring a hunting license is necessary.

In 2020, amidst the
restrictions on indoor gatherings, Adomitis purchased a tent, seeking a
and
"I was surprised at the limited options that were available," she explained. "I wanted a place to gather, for the community to have a place to gather.”
This sparked the birth of Avigail's Tents and Events, providing a unique solution for socially distanced gatherings. For two years, she facilitated events under her tents, even designing creative compartmentalized spaces for added safety.
The business took a significant turn in 2022 when Adomitis acquired a storefront, initially intended as an office for client meetings; however, the closure of a local flower shop presented an unexpected opportunity.
Leveraging her previous
Be
experience as a flower shop owner, Adomitis expanded into floral design, aiming to make her business a full-time, yearround endeavor. "I saw an opportunity to kind of expand into doing the flowers," she said. “I want to bring a sense of genuine community to my work."
After a period of growth and transition, Our Flower House officially opened its doors in its current location in 2023. A grand opening party celebrated the expanded services and the new focus on floral design.
Our Flower House is more than just a florist. While the floral aspect is thriving, event planning remains the core of the business. Adomitis acts as a "cruise ship director," orchestrating every detail of weddings, anniversaries, family reunions and birthdays, from decor and flow to catering and entertainment.
"The busiest, most main part of the business is
the event and the intimate events," she explained. “We're designing your wedding for the day, from the font to the colors, to the venue to the flowers. You bring me your vision and we collaborate to make sure that it's original to you."
When it comes to wedding planning, Adomitis’ passion for personalization shines through. She draws inspiration directly from the bride, striving to understand their vision and create a truly unique experience, avoiding cookie-cutter arrangements, preferring to create original designs that reflect the client's desired message.
"It's not your textbook wedding. Tell me what your budget is and I will help you figure out what we can do for that," she emphasized. “It’s important to have open communication about budget and working with clients to maximize their resources and prioritize their needs.”
Adomitis offers a comprehensive rental service, offering tabletop furnishings, flatware, lines and
décor as well as tents and furniture. She estimates having organized over 100 weddings using the inventory from her store.
"We are full service," she emphasized. We handle everything from setup and delivery to cleanup.”
Adomitis' spacious downstairs area offers further potential for growth. She envisions hosting corporate parties, small business gatherings and even children's after-school activities.
"One week it could be one thing, the next week it could be another," she said. "It's an adventure."
From popcorn and cotton candy machines to shaved ice, the space is equipped for a variety of celebrations. She also emphasizes her commitment to working with local businesses, often sourcing food and other services from nearby vendors.
Sourcing flowers is a multifaceted process. Adomitis prioritizes foraging local greenery and collaborating with a local flower farm. She sources
flowers from various locations, including large farms in Ecuador and local growers like Brenda Blythe of Blythe Family Farm.
"That is what I want to do," Adomitis said, "is connect with the other women in business who are here and be a part of this community in a positive and genuinely good way."
Community engagement is also a priority. Last Mother's Day, Adomitis organized a "treasure hunt" map, encouraging families to visit local businesses and collect stamps for a prize drawing. The event was a huge success, combining shopping, quality time and professional photography. She hinted that a similar event might be in the works for this year.
Adomitis credits her husband, Noel, as an integral part of the business. From building farm tables to managing rentals, Noel’s contributions are essential to the smooth operation of Our Flower House.
"He makes anything I ask him to, carries every-
thing," she said. “It’s a real joy to be able to work with and collaborate with him.” Looking ahead, Avigail is excited about upcoming collaborations. She's also passionate about community collaboration and is currently working in partnership with Hayley Marie Watson from Soil & Seed who makes handmade luxury soy candles and botanical gifts.
This summer, she envisions creating a vibrant community gathering space, complete with a soda water bar, local food vendors, and live music events.
"I definitely feel very blessed and fortunate to be able to get to do what I love," Adomitis concluded. "And I get to work with my husband and be together as a family and live a balanced life doing something that comes very organically from my heart and soul."
Our Flower House is a testament to one woman's entrepreneurial spirit and her commitment to community.

Bill introduced to protect beaches in Oregon, nationwide
Oregon U.S. Senator Ron Wyden has introduced bipartisan legislation that would preserve coastal beaches in Oregon and nationwide by providing funding for state, local, and tribal governments to test, monitor, and identify recreational waters that are contaminated.
“The Oregon Coast offers unmatched opportunities for visitors to make fond memories and for residents of one of America’s most iconic coastlines to live and work in and next to the Pacific Ocean,” Wyden said. “But the ongoing threat of pollution piling up on our coastal beaches every year demands commonsense solutions that help protect this treasure and keep Oregonians healthy. This bill accomplishes those goals by protecting, preserving, and improving our beaches in every corner of Oregon and America for generations to come.”
Wyden said that currently, there’s dedicated federal funding for monitoring and notifying beachgoers of contaminated coastal waters – but there is no money allocated towards identifying contaminated sites.
Wyden said the new bill, the BEACH Act, would reauthorize this $30 million program over the next four years to
allocate funding for identifying contaminated beaches and trace the source of the contamination.
Wyden’s bill would also expand testing locations to include shallow recreational waters near the beaches, where children and seniors often play and swim, who are more at risk of experiencing health issues from contamination.
The legislation is endorsed by Environment America, Surfrider, the America Shore & Beach Preservation Association, and the Coastal States Organization.
“Kudos to Senators Tillis and Wyden for moving to renew the BEACH Act - a critical step forward in safeguarding the health of our communities. This bipartisan legislation will ensure that families know when our waters are safe for swimming and help states pinpoint pollution sources,” Federal Legislative Associate at Environment America Caroline Wagar said.
“Everyone deserves access to clean water to swim, surf, and play in. The BEACH Act ensures that people have the information they need to protect themselves and the health of their families when recreating at the beach and in our coastal waterways. The Surfrider Foundation wholeheartedly supports the reauthorization bill sponsored by Senators Tillis and Wyden,” Surfrider's Water Quality Initiative Senior Manager Mara Dias said.
“ASBPA is proud to support reauthorization of the BEACH Act," American Shore & Beach Preservation Association Blue Flag Program Coordinator Annie Mercer said. "We applaud Senator Wyden and Senator Tillis for continuing to prioritize this policy which empowers US coastal communities’ with information needed to elevate water quality at the nation’s beaches and shores.”
“For over two decades the BEACH Act has helped keep swimmers healthy and safe every summer. This reauthorization helps ensure beachgoers will be notified as quickly as possible if water is unsafe to swim in, and gives coastal states and communities greater flexibility to identify and address sources of contamination,” Coastal States Organization Executive Director Derek Brockbank said.
A one-page summary of the bill:
BACKGROUND
The BEACH Act was established in 2000 to require the EPA to develop guidelines for testing, monitoring, and notifying beachgoers of potential water quality problems. In addition, the bill provided state, local, and tribal governments with grant funding needed to protect the public from contaminated water at coastal beaches, giving seniors and families security that swimming will not make them sick.
The original BEACH Act’s funds are only eligible for monitoring and notifying the public about contaminated beaches. It does not currently allow local governments to trace this contamination to its source - an error this version of the bill addresses directly.
BILL SUMMARY
This new version of the BEACH Act would reauthorize this $30 million program for the next four years, while also expanding the eligible uses of this grant to include the ability to trace any mcontamination to its source, so that local governments can respond accordingly. Additionally, the legislation also expands eligible testing locations to include shallow recreational waters adjacent to beaches, where children and elderly people typically play and swim. Thesempopulations are more at risk of experiencing health issues from contamination, and this bill will grant them and their families the assurance they need to safely enjoy their beach experience.
