It’s back to business as usual in Brookings

BY ROGER GITLIN

For The Pilot

It’s been two weeks since Brookings City Manager Janelle returned to work following a six month suspension (with pay).

The February 13 City Council meeting in Brookings was back to normal. City Manager Howard was back on the job. But the matter for many is not done.

Public speaker and former Councilor John McKinney addressed the council and expressed his deep concern over the re-hiring of Howard and the message it sends to the community. McKinney cited 15 other shoplifting allegations against the city manager, reportedly acknowledged on video from the Fred Meyer store.

Councilor Isaac Hodges asked permission from Mayor Ron Hedenskog to read a letter from several unnamed city employees unhappy with the Howard re-hire. Hodges voted 'no' on rehiring Howard. Councilor president Ed Schreiber, Andy Martin, Michelle

Morosky and Mayor Hedenskog voted to rehire the city manager. With permission from the mayor, Councilor Hodges read the letter which exceeded the five-minute limit for McKinney or any other public speaker. In paraphrasing the letter, some employees expressed their mistrust and illegal conduct exhibited on the July arrest and subsequent no contest plea to the theft charge. Howard was quiet and without comment after Hodges read the entire letter aloud.

In other business, councilors discussed a draft proposal regarding a franchise fee to the Coos-Curry Electric Co/Op. Councilor Andy Martin suggested his colleagues support a 4% franchise fee plus a 1% street lighting fee for a period of 10 years. Schreiber suggest a 5% franchise fee and 1 % addition for street lights. By consensus, the council asked Howard to draft an ordinance to be discussed at the upcoming meeting.

The city unanimously voted to send a letter of support for the Curry Health Network ‘s

Chemotherapy Treatment Project.

The letter signed by the mayor supports the $2.5 million request sought by CHN. Calling the Curry Health Network “… a trusted partner for our region’s Healthcare.” Mayor Hedenskog stated chemotherapy services is a

critical need.

During the discussion, Curry County Commissioner Brad Alcorn addressed the council on the dire fentanyl crisis in the county and across the nation. The death index for fentanyl is profound and growing, according to the commissioner.

Councilors also appointed Dan Brattain to the City Parks and Recreation Committee and re-appointed Mike Worthey to Parks and Rec. and re-appointed Clayton Malmberg to the Planning Commission. The Council reconvenes Monday, February 27.

Azalea Middle School teacher brings concerns to Brookings school board

BY ROGER GITLIN

For The Pilot

A Brookings-Harbor language arts teacher addressed his employer at last Wednesday's school board meeting at the Kalmiopsis Library with an emphatic, “We can do better.”

Jones is the 7th grade language arts teacher at Azalea Middle School and delivered his sobering comments to the board while expressing his disappointment with Azalea School administration. The principal of Azalea is Vickie Nigh.

Jones is a recently retired Smith River Middle School drama and band teacher who came out of retirement to continue his teaching career and was hired this past August to teach language arts at Azalea.

Over these past several months, Jones observed, in his words, “top-down no shared decision making, reactionary management, alarmingly high certificated resignations and a shoot from the hip mentality without any thought of the time or place. WE CAN DO BETTER,” Jones declared. He contacted the board through the appropriate protocol but failed to hear

back from the superintendent in a timely manner, prompting him to address trustees through the public comments portal.

According to Jones, five certificated staff and two substitute teachers resigned from the beginning of the school year through mid-February.

Jones shared his experience in a 30year career a with the Del Norte Unified School District, he recalled only two Certificated resignations during his long service to the DNUSD.

Jones cited a recent incident where he prepared waffles for his first period class at his own expense, a practice he has done at least three times this semester. According to Jones, administration entered his classroom two weeks ago and directed him to cease this practice immediately. The order to stop was directed in front of students causing disruption and embarrassment to Jones who promptly disposed of eight pounds of waffle batter.

Many in the audience of about 35 donned azure blue t-shirts emblazoned with a Justice for Jones moniker.

Steven Pomerleau helps refurbish bikes for locals in need

BY WILL LOHRE

Country Media

Around Christmas time in 2021, Steven Pomerleau was approached by Joe Gastonguay, or "Little Joe" as he's known, with an idea to repair and refurbish bicycles to donate to local nonprofits. Pomerleau is a longtime member of Sidney Croft Lodge 206 and the Chetco Shrine Club in Brookings and wanted to give back to the community.

"In just before Christmas in 2021, I repaired eight bicycles and gave them to Oliva Davis at Community Action. She told me one went to a little girl, her mother was single, and that was the only gift that the young lady was going to get for Christmas, which, that's a heck of a gift," Pomerleau said.

"Another one of those bicycles, Olivia had a young man who had recently got a job at Fred Meyer, and instead of walking she got him the bike for transportation."

When Little Joe came to Pomer-

leau with the idea, Pomerleau took it on and decided to work on the bikes at the Sidney Croft Lodge, where he would have plenty of room to work. Now, over a year later, Pomerleau has even more bikes to work on.

"This year, I've got more bikes. I've fixed up 15 that went to Olivia and were distributed throughout the community," Pomerleau said. "I held five back, and they went over to Medford, and in May, there's going to be a Shrine circus over there. And what we're going to do is, at the intermission for each performance, we're going to give a bicycle away to a lucky young child."

Little Joe got the bicycles from Walmart in 2021, and Pomerleau was happy to help with the project. This year they got even more bikes than last. Before this experience, Pomerleau only had a little experience with fixing bikes, but his work has helped him become more handy. To repair the bikes, Pomer-

leau works with bike companies to get him the missing or broken pieces. "I've learned a lot more. Working with some of the companies, they were really good; you work with them, tell them what you're going to do, they would send the parts, they would comp us the parts," Pomerleau said. "The majority of it, we're doing this as a public service. I invest my time, as well as Olivia, getting them to the children that are

in need of a bike."

Pomerleau has been a member of the Sidney Croft Masonic Lodge for 39 years and the Chetco Shrine Club for over 22 years. Pomerleau said that both organizations are heavily involved in the community. "Different lodges do different things, and the opportunity just came knocking at my door, and I couldn't pass it up. Any time you can give back and help the community, that's good," Pomerleau said.

They say, the one thing you can count on in life is change. Often change is for the better, but unfortunately this is not always the case. Over the last few decades many aspects of medicine have changed, a lot. These changes have greatly affected you the patient, your doctors and the other health professionals who are trying their best to provide quality care for you. How do you, as a patient, best navigate this new landscape? The old system was so easy. You’d make an appointment with your doctor, physically visit the office, and talk to him or her in person. There was never a computer screen in the room. Your doctor would actually see you, take the time to listen to you, physically examine you, formulate a diagnosis, tell you what he or she thought was wrong and treat your condition appropriately. At that point you’d pay the doctor a reasonable fee for the services and you were out the door. Interaction over. Probably 95% of all physician encounters could still be managed this simply.

Enter insurance companies, managed care, HMO’s, PPO’s, patient quotas, extensive third-party surveillance of your doctor’s management, the need to preauthorization seemingly everything from x-rays

Opinion & Letters

Letters to the editor

Change the library board Brookings/Harbor parents, friends and community members have an opportunity to remove from duties "three blind mice", out of five, which currently sit on the Chetco Library Board of Directors. This is the moment I have been waiting for "Vote Them Out 2023".

This should also be the community's response for ignoring the petition to address book placement and contain young and vulnerable children from unintended access from sexually graphic and illustrated books.

The BOD voted against the petition that gathered 400 signatures, all the while community members challenged the BOD on their reasoning that ignores the public. The BOD betrayed public trust and acted contrary to written rules of their duties.

It’s do or die for the Great Salt Lake

By STEPHEN TRIMBLE

Last November, the Great Salt Lake, iconic landmark of the Great Basin Desert, fell to its lowest surface elevation ever recorded. The lake had lost 73% of its water and 60% of its area. More than 800 square miles of lakebed sediments were laid bare to become dust sources laden with heavy metals.

Without emergency action to double the lake’s inflow, it could dry out in five years. “We’re seeing this system crash before our eyes,” warns Bonnie Baxter, director of the Great Salt Lake Institute at Salt Lake City’s Westminster College.

Settlers colonized the eastern shoreline 175 years ago, displacing Native peoples, and all of us who followed have mostly taken this desert lake and its fiery sunsets for granted. But the lake is an economic engine as well as an ecological treasure.

Its waters and wetlands yield thousands of jobs and an annual $2.5 billion for Utah from mineral extraction and brine shrimp eggs used worldwide as food for farmed fish and shrimp. The lake also suppresses windblown toxic dust, boosts precipitation of incoming storms through the “lake effect,” and supports 80% of Utah’s wetlands.

The Great Salt Lake has no outlet. It can hold its own against evaporation only if sufficient water arrives from three river systems, fed by snowmelt in the lake’s 21,000-square-mile mountain watershed. When that flow declines, the shallow lake recedes.

In each of the last three years the lake has received less than a third of its average streamflow, recorded since 1850. And as the lake shrinks, it grows saltier, currently measuring 19 percent salinity. This is six times as salty as the ocean and well past the 12 percent salinity that’s ideal for brine shrimp and brine flies.

More than 10 million birds

depend on the lake’s tiny invertebrates for food. Half of the world’s population of Wilson’s phalaropes feasts on Great Salt Lake brine flies in summer, taking on fat reserves for their 3,400mile, non-stop migration to South America. For phalaropes, the lake is “a lifeline,” says conservation biologist Maureen Frank.

All these wonders do best with a minimum healthy lake level of about 4,200 feet in elevation, which the Great Salt Lake hasn’t seen for 20 years.

You could say that the crisis snuck up on us.

Our big build-up of dams, canals and pipelines to harness incoming water throughout the lake’s watershed began soon after 1900. With a lake this big and with natural fluctuations in weather, “unsustainable behavior doesn't get noticed until you are really far down the line,” says Ben Abbott, ecologist at Brigham Young University.

By the 1960s, diversions had bled the lake to levels nearly as low as we see today. But then an extraordinary wet period masked the downward trend. In the mid1980s, the lake hit an historic high, flooding wetlands and highways and threatening the Salt Lake City Airport.

When precipitation dropped to normal, lake levels declined again, aided by today’s drying and warming climate, which is reducing natural flows and increasing evaporation, a recent but growing impact.

But agriculture is the primary driver of the disappearing lake. Two-thirds of the diversions in the Great Salt Lake watershed go to farms and ranches. With climate change accelerating, experts say the only way to bring back the lake is to decrease diversions and crank open the spigots of incoming streams.

Because Utah manages its own water, it’s up to the state

Legislature to save the lake. “We can’t talk water into the lake” through studies and task forces, as Salt Lake City Rep. Joel Briscoe puts it. The State Legislature can—and must—pass mandates and incentives to reduce water use, purchase water rights, pay farmers to fallow fields and increase streamflow.

To pass such legislation, lawmakers must withstand unremitting pressure from a chorus of high-paid and powerful water lobbyists.

The 2023 Utah legislative session ends on March 3. If the members don’t take sufficient and difficult action to save the Great Salt Lake from collapse, the lake will face ruin. As the Brigham Young University scientist Ben Abbott says, “Unlike politicians, hydrology doesn’t negotiate.”

Waiting another year may be too late. Utah—the second driest state in the nation—must come to grips with its arid heart.

Stephen Trimble is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to spurring conversation about the West. A 35th anniversary update of his book, The Sagebrush Ocean: A Natural History of the Great Basin, will be published next year.

As stated under Article VIIBoard Responsibilities Section C. Make decisions based upon the wishes and needs of the public and place the needs of the public above the ambitions of the Board or the District. Love this rule!

We have a very active LGBT agenda currently running amok with grants from entities that actively support division, segregation, and gender affirmation. Would it surprise anyone, some Oregon grants have the same agenda as the LGBTQ+mnop?

Seems too often people elected into office fail to keep their responsibilities to their constituents and community members. Refusal is a blatant attempt to stifle Christian families and community members' concerns. Regain control of the library, May 2023. Our community deserves to be heard, vote these people out. We want strong individuals to set a better course of Collection Development for the Chetco Community Library. Taxpayers are owed an amicable response to the community's request for special placement of sexually graphic and illustrated books. We are not asking that they burn them. A library reformation is required of public services for ALL taxpayers - 99%, not just the LGBTQ - 1%.

Was it worth it?

Inexpensive, safe medicines were available against COVID that would have prevented hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations and saved as many lives if only we had used them in this country. But Dr. Anthony Fauci and his Big Pharma collaborators deliberately suppressed those treatments in service to their single-minded objective, making America await salvation from their, multi-billion dollar experimental vaccines.

Peer-reviewed science offered little if any support for masking, quarantines of healthy people, and social distancing, and Dr Fauci offered no citations or justifications to support his draconian measures. Dr. Peter McCullough, an internist and cardiologist at Baylor University, stated, “Using repurposed inexpensive drugs, we could have ended the pandemic by May 2020 and saved 500,000 American live, but Dr. Fauci and Big Pharma effectively shut down early treatment and silenced all doctors who talked about successes. Dr. Pierre Kory, stated, “Dr. Fauci’s suppression of early treatments will go down in history as having caused the death of a half a million Americans in the ICU. Never in the history of medicine has early treatment, of any patient

with any disease, been so overtly neglected by the medical profession on such a massive scale.

Pfizer’s clinical data predicted potentially fatal myocarditis in one in every 318 teens. COVID-19 vaccines have caused, cardiac arrest, blindness, and paralysis in American children. Since young healthy athletes and teens have basically zero chance of dying from COVID, requiring them to be vaccinated, is patently criminal. We now know that peer-reviews studies show antibody levels generated by vaccines such as Pfizer, suffer a ten-fold decrease seven months after the second vaccines. This precipitous drop in antibody levels compromise the body’s ability to defend itself against COVID-19. A recent peer-reviewed study in the Toxicology Reports Journal found COVID-19 vaccines kill more people than they save.

Christian nationalists

In yet another diatribe against the Chetco Library last week under the misguided title "Save Our Kids", the writer invoked the tired phrase "Christian values".

One can assume the writer could very well be touting the values of the rapidly rising Christian Nationalists. A belief in theocracy now the majority religion of Republicans according to a survey by NPR. A religion that believes women can't make reproductive decisions for themselves. Church & State should not be separate. Proven science is questionable. Libraries & books that aren't Christian based should be banned. History can be whitewashed & children should be forced fed what "Christians" want them to hear. etc. etc.

Hyperbole? Perhaps a bit, but that's how I see it. "Christian values"? Not if those values are the same ones I see coming from the revamped G"Q"P that has hijacked the Republican Party of late.

Plan for RV Park Across From Arizona Beach State Park

The Curry County Planning Commission held a public meeting on February 16 to discuss a proposed RV Park across the street from Arizona Beach State Park, Port Orford.

The site is a 5 acre parcel with an abandon motel. The proposed RV Park includes 31 RV spots with hook-ups, tent camping, a general store, showers/restrooms, laundry, recreation room, office, managers quarters and 3 rental units in the old motel.

This property is a corridor currently dense with wildlife traveling to the beach and surrounding areas. The area is now very low human density and adjacent to Myrtle Creek and Mussell Creek which pour into the ocean at the beach.

We are concerned about the potential traffic, fire, noise, light, trash, pollution, waste water, storm water and watershed impacts to the environment and wildlife.

We support the county goals of more affordable housing and tourism development. But we also strongly support the county’s promise to protect state parks. Arizona Beach State Park is a gem in Curry County. We believe it is wrong to jeopardize the park environmentally for a commercial enterprise.

You can learn more about the meeting and proposal at the Curry County Planning Commission website.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Bureau of Land Management [LLOR936000-L14400000ET0000-HAG23- 0002; OROR-16756]

Notice of Application for Withdrawal Extension and Opportunity for Public Meeting for the Wheeler Creek Research Natural Area, Oregon

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal application.

SUMMARY: The United States Department of Agriculture, United States Forest Service (USFS), has filed an application with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requesting that the Secretary of the Interior extend Public Land Order (PLO) No. 6476, as extended by PLO No. 7572, for an additional 20 years. PLO No. 6476 as extended withdrew 334 acres of National Forest System land from location and entry under the United States mining laws for 20 years, subject to valid existing rights, for protection of the Wheeler Creek Research Natural Area. This notice advises the public of a 90-day opportunity to comment on this application for a withdrawal extension and to request a public meeting.

DATES: Comments and requests for a public meeting must be received by May 8, 2023.

ADDRESSES: All comments and meeting requests should be sent to the BLM Oregon/ Washington State Director, P.O. Box 2965, Portland, Oregon 97208. The application and case file are available for public examination by interested persons by appointment at the BLM Public Room, 1220 SW 3rd Ave., 11th Floor, Portland, Oregon 97208 during regular business hours 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday except holidays. Please call 503- 808- 6001 to make an appointment.

FOR FURTHER INFOR-

MATION CONTACT: Luke

Poff, Realty Specialist, BLM Oregon/Washington State Office, (503)808- 6249, by email at lpoff@blm.gov, or at the address noted earlier. The USFS can be reached at the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest Supervisor’s Office, 3040 Biddle Road, Medford, Oregon 97504, (541) 6182200.

Individuals in the United States who are deaf, blind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services.

Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services offered within their country to make international calls to the point-of contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFOR-

MATION: The withdrawal established by PLO No. 6476 (48 FR 45395), as extended by PLO No. 7572 (68 FR 42127), is incorporated by reference. PLO No. 6476 withdrew 334 acres of National Forest System land in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest from location and entry under the United States mining laws to protect the Wheeler Creek Research Natural Area, which was established to represent undisturbed examples of redwood (Eucalyptus transcontinentalis) at the northern limits of its range. The legal land description for PLO No. 6476 is on file with the BLM. Unless further extended, the withdrawal will expire on October 4, 2023. The USFS has requested that this withdrawal be extended for an additional 20 years.

The use of a right-of-way, interagency agreement, or cooperative agreement would not adequately preserve the unique resources located at this site.

There are no suitable alternative sites since preserving the unique resource within the lands described in PLO No. 6476 is the reason for the application for withdrawal extension.

No water rights will be needed to fulfill the purpose of this requested withdrawal extension. Mining would be inconsistent with preservation of the area. Before including your address, phone number, email

address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment\emdashincluding your personally identifying information\emdash may be made publicly available at any time.

While you may ask the BLM in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Notice is hereby given that an opportunity for a public meeting may be afforded in connection with the application for withdrawal extension.

All interested persons who desire a public meeting for the purpose of being heard on the application for this withdrawal extension must submit a written request to the State Director, BLM Oregon/Washington State Office at the address in the ADDRESSES section, within 90 days from the date of publication of this notice. If the authorized officer determines that a public meeting will be held, a notice of the date, time, and place will be published in the Federal Register and local newspapers and posted on the BLM website at: www. blm.gov at least 30 days before the scheduled date of the meeting. This withdrawal extension application will be processed in accordance with the regulations set forth in 43 CFR 2310.4.

(Authority: 43 CFR 2310.3-1.)

It’s the human connection, both verbal and physical, which allows a physician to formulate a diagnosis. Spend enough time listening and a patient will eventually tell you what’s wrong with them. They will give you their diagnosis. Skip these basic steps and things start getting expensive. In lieu of an exam, time pressured practitioners may instead order a batch of tests from the computer. This is one factor contributing to

increasing health care costs. Where the computer detracts from the interview, it enables in the ordering of studies. Additionally, if your doctor is being forced to see 4 patients per hour per his or her contract, it’s goodbye human interaction, hello expensive tests. This is the new reality of medicine, which is being run by big business, not your doctor. Why are some doctors forced to see 30-40 patient’s in a day.

Brookings PD thanks K9 benefactor

The Brookings Police Department offered its heartfelt appreciation to community benefactor Judy Schafer. Ms. Shafer donated the funds to acquire canine Duke, a Belgian Malinois to serve as Officer Duke for the Brookings Police Department.

Almost-four year old Duke just celebrated his first anniversary with the Department. Duke lives and serves with K9 Officer Patrick Smith. Smith joined the Brookings PD as a Reserve officer in 2016 and swore his Oath two years later.

Ms. Shafer's first act of generosity was ten years ago supplying the funds to purchase a bulletproof vest for former K9 “Hulk.” Asked about the cost of acquiring and training Duke, Judy smiled a bit saying, “ let’s just say you could buy a small KIA for the contribution but it’s well worth it. It’s my honor to do what I can to help the Police Dept. and keep Brookings safe.”

Duke joins yellow Lab Nova the Department’s other K9. Duke’s partner Officer

Smith was sent down to Petaluma, California for dog handling training once Duke was acquired by the Department. Officer Smith’s dedication is noteworthy and remarkable. Officer Smith spoke with praise and appreciation for Judy and her support of the K9 program. Officer Smith and Duke's daily life are interesting and fascinating. Smith and Duke recently cornered two burglary suspects holed up in a garage. When the two refused officer’s order to surrender, Smith sent in Duke to “persuade” the suspects to come out.

Some very persuasive barking and growling and both suspects surrendered. No one was injured…Happy ending. Smith often visits area schools and kids love to interact with a very social Duke.

The Brookings K9 program is totally funded by community contributions. Other than fuel for the police vehicle,

The City offers no financial support. Brookings Chief of Police Kelby McCrae also expressed his appreciation to the community for its support of the K9 program. Those wishing to sponsor the K9 program. Please contact Officer Patrick Smith at the Brookings Police Department. Duke has his own FB account on Brookings Police Department OR contact Officer Patrick Smith at psmith@Brookings.or.us.
