Local lineman helps electrify remote Guatemalan village JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

J

ason Sherman is back home in Port Orford after helping electrify a remote village in Guatemala.

Sherman, is a line worker for Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative.

He joined the Oregon Empowers team departing for Guatemala in early March to electrify the rural village of Ventura, a small community four hours east of Guatemala City.

Oregon Empowers works in partnership with the National Courtesy photo Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) Coos-County Electric line worker Jason Sherman climbing up a pole to work on a power line.

International, the Oregon Rural Cooperative Association (ORECA), and Oregon-based electric cooperatives to bring power to rural communities, just as cooperatives have done over the last century in the United States.

The electrifying work Over the course of two weeks, the crew diligently worked to build and electrify three miles of power lines, which will improve the lives of 100 locals forever, according to a release from the See LIGHTS, Page 10

Homelessness State of Emergency Funding plan JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

“It is an insult to our rural southwest Oregon communities to see this list,” State Sen. David Brock Smith (R-Port Orford) told The Pilot.

“Unhoused individuals do not just reside within our urban centers as many are located in our area due to the more temperate climate.

The Coastal Caucus sent a collective letter to the Governor when she released her original plan, as she then left out the coast. We will continue to press for the equity in funding for our communities and continue to remind Governor Kotek that Oregon extends beyond I-5 and Bend.”

State Rep. Court Boice also responded to The Pilot’s inquiry about the Governor’s funding plan.

“Voting for House Bill 2001 was the hardest vote I’ve ever personally cast at either the County or State Level, “he said.

“Being in the minority – representing Rural Oregon and especially Southwest

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek has announced how much funding each region within Oregon’s homelessness state of emergency will receive from the state, as well as the specific outcomes local communities are expected to achieve with the emergency dollars.

However, the initial information in the Governor’s release does not appear to include any new funding for Curry and Coos Counties but does offer $26 million for statewide assistance.

Recognizing that unsheltered homelessness impacts communities in every part of Oregon, the legislature approved the $26 million to address homelessness in the counties that do not meet the threshold of the emergency order, the Governor’s release states.

Local reaction

Fast Facts

Gov.Tina Kotek

Gov. Kotek’s funding plan is linked to specific goals to rehouse more than 1,200 households and create more than 600 new shelter beds in emergency areas by end of the year. $26 million will be made available for statewide assistance.

Oregon - substantial negotiations went into this Bill. Working and fighting for our legitimate share of the $27 million as promised for our 26 most rural counties is a joy and one of my many responsibilities.”

On her first full day in office, the Governor declared a homelessness state of emergency and urged the legislature to pass an early investment package to meet specific goals in reducing unsheltered homelessness

by January 10, 2024.

“Oregonians are demanding urgent action and accountability. That’s why this emergency funding is tied to specific, local action plans that will reduce

unsheltered homelessness,” Governor Tina Kotek said.

“The state will continue to provide technical assistance and partner with local communities to make sure this money makes a difference on the ground.”

Where the funding goes The following funding amounts are based on many factors, including the appropriation made available by the legislature, detailed plans that local communities submitted, and a detailed formula developed by Oregon Housing and Community Services, according to a release from the Governor’s Office.

• Portland/Gresham/ Multnomah County: $18.2 million to rehouse 275 households and create 138 shelter beds • Eugene/Springfield/ Lane County: $15.5 million to rehouse 247 households and create 230 shelter beds • Central Oregon: $13.9 million to rehouse 161 households and create 111 shelter beds • Salem/Marion, Polk Counties: $10.4 million to rehouse 158 households and create 79 shelter beds • Medford, Ashland/ Jackson County: $8.8 million to rehouse 133 households and create 67 shelter beds • Hillsboro/Beaverton/ Washington County: $8.0 million to rehouse 121 households and create 61 shelter beds • Clackamas County: $4.4 million to rehouse 130 households.

Funding background House Bill 5019 appropriated $85.2 million

for local homelessness emergency plans. OHCS will reserve $3 million to ensure the goals of the emergency order are achieved. An additional $3 million will be used for a statewide landlord incentive, available to landlords participating in local rehousing efforts. The requests from all regions within the emergency order totaled $98.8 million, so there were not enough funds to provide each region with its full funding request.

In addition, the early funding package included $33.6 million to help prevent homelessness for an estimated 8,750 households. This funding will be distributed statewide through existing eviction prevention programs.

Recognizing that unsheltered homelessness impacts communities in every part of Oregon, the legislature also approved $26 million to address See FUNDING, Page 10

Effort launched to clear abandoned, derelict vessels JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

The State Land Board is urging continued action to address the impacts of abandoned and derelict vessels on public waterways and public schools.

Abandoned and derelict vessels seriously threaten waterway health and safety, creating both environmental and navigational hazards, according to the State Land Board.

Abandoned and derelict vessels seriously threaten waterway health and safety, creating both environmental and navigational hazards, according to the State Land Board.

The abandoned and derelict vessels present a myriad of safety concerns including water, navigational, and environmental hazards, according to marine patrol deputies across the state.

Penalties The penalties for vessel abandonment range from $440 on the low end to thousands of dollars on the high end. If the vessel becomes submerged, it becomes an even greater expenditure to remove the

vessel that, for one boat owner, came out to a total of $55,000, according to the Columbia County Sheriff’s Office.

The most common types of offenders of abandoned vessels range from people living on their boat, to scrappers and owners of “fixer uppers,” but larger vessels, such as abandoned cargo and ships are also causing concern.

For years, the Department of State Lands has worked with state, federal, and local partners to remove the most hazardous vessels.

But lack of a statewide abandoned and derelict vessel (ADV) program with dedicated funding has resulted in the Common School Fund spending millions removing vessels, while hundreds more pile up in public waterways.

The Land Board, on April 11, created an Abandoned and Derelict Vessel Program Workgroup to propose a comprehensive ADV program for Oregon, including identifying funding needs and potential sources. Read the agenda item, which includes support letters from each member of the Land Board or watch the meeting video with this story at currypilot.

Program follows Oregon Senate Bill 762 approved is 2021 and allows OSFM to procure fire apparatus to be strategically placed around the state with host structural fire agencies.

These apparatuses are intended to assist local host agencies with keeping wildland fires small and away from communities, according to a release from Brookings Fire.

“The program’s intention is to increase response capacity at the local, regional, and statewide levels by supplementing available equipment. This

wildland fire engine will be able to access areas that our current engine and tender are unable to,” the release states.

In an earlier published story in The Pilot, Oregon State Fire Marshal Mariana Ruiz-Temple said the state investment in fire service is critical as the Oregon modernizes equipment and increases firefighting capacity to respond to incidents in local communities.

“Over the last three decades, more communities have been impacted by wildfire,” Ruiz-Temple said.

Director Vicki L. Walker said. $18.8 Million Proposed for Vessel Removals

The 2023-25 Governor’s Recommended Budget for DSL includes $18.8 million to remove ADVs accumulated in public waterways. Removing those vessels will address current hazards and risks, with the ADV Program Workgroup simultaneously seeking long-term solutions.

The ADV Program Workgroup will explore all elements of a statewide ADV program, with work culminating in a report to the State Land Board no later than April 2024.

The report would include a program framework addressing prevention, response, enforcement, education and outreach, and potential long-term funding needs and sources, as well as recommendations for legislative action in the 2025 Legislative Session.

Walker said DSL will immediately convene the ADV Program Workgroup, which is anticipated to include stakeholders with varying perspectives, interests, and expertise, such as local governments,

ports, marinas, waterway user groups, environmental organizations, vessel insurance, vessel salvage, and public safety, as well as relevant federal agencies, other coastal states, and Oregon state agencies.

“Working with partners and stakeholders has been essential to our ADV efforts thus far,” Walker said.

“Continued collaboration will be critical to the success of the ADV Program Workgroup and, ultimately, to implementation of Oregon’s statewide ADV program.”

About the State Land Board and the Department of State Lands The State Land Board consists of Governor Tina Kotek, Secretary of State Shemia Fagan and State Treasurer Tobias Read.

Established by the Oregon Constitution in 1859, the Land Board oversees the state’s Common School Fund.

The Department of State Lands is the Land Board’s administrative agency, managing the lands and resources that help fund Oregon’s public schools and protecting the state’s waterways and wetlands for the many benefits they provide.

Brookings to get new Type-3 wildland fire engine from state JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc. Brookings Fire officials report that the agency has been awarded a Type-3 wildland fire engine from the State Fire Marshal’s Office (OSFM) following a lengthy application process.

The Oregon State Fire Marshal earlier announced awards for its $25 million Engine Program. Across Oregon, 76 local fire service agencies, including Brookings, have been selected to receive the new equipment.

The OSFM Engine

“This investment is a major step forward in achieving our mission to protect people, property, and the environment from fire and hazardous materials.”

The OSFM relies on the Oregon Fire Mutual Aid System (OFMAS) when responding to wildfires or other disasters that could impact communities, according to a release.

More than 300 local fire service agencies make up the system across Oregon.

These firefighters and equipment are mobilized under the Emergency Conflagration Act, pre-

Curry Coastal Pilot

Offbeat Oregon

America’s first woman governor had crazy early life FINN JD JOHN Curry Pilot Guest Article If you ask most Oregonians who the first woman governor in state history was, they’ll have an immediate answer … but they’ll be wrong.

Conventional wisdom holds that the first woman to take the gubernatorial purple in the Beaver State was Barbara Roberts, who was elected to the job in 1990.

In fact, that’s almost true … but, of course, “almost” doesn’t work very well as an answer to a true-or-false question.

The truth is, Barbara Roberts was the first elected woman governor in Oregon history. But the first woman to serve as governor of Oregon — or any other state, for that matter — was a remarkable woman named Caralyn B. Shelton.

Caralyn Shelton It was because of Caralyn Shelton that Oregon, for one historic weekend in early 1909, became the first and only state in the nation with a female governor.

This was especially ironic because it wasn’t until 1912 that women won the right to vote in Oregon.

Caralyn Shelton was born in 1876 to Willis and Mary Skiff, prominent members of the business community in the town of Union. Willis was the town’s Justice of the Peace.

By all signs Caralyn’s early childhood was a happy one; but it was derailed by

an unknown hand on the night of July 24, 1886, when Willis Skiff disappeared from a deserted railroad platform as he waited for a midnight train. Foul play was strongly suspected; and Pinkerton detectives scoured the scene looking for some sign of his body; but none was ever found.

The case is still unsolved to this day.

Two years later the other shoe dropped. Following a short illness, Mary Skiff died in 1888, leaving Caralyn and her two siblings, Nolan and Mabel, as orphans.

So the three children were more or less adopted

by Judge John W. Shelton, an attorney and president of the Union Railway, who had handled Willis Skiff’s estate after his death. Shelton and his wife, Mary, had been unable to have children, so having a “ready-made family” come and fill their empty nest worked out nicely for everyone involved — or so it seemed.

Published rumors But Judge Shelton seems to have been a pretty serious rascal, to put it mildly, because a couple years later, while Mary was on an extended visit to her family back home in California, he apparently got some friends to publish rumors about her engaging in lewd and promiscuous behavior.

(This was, of course, back in the day when one needed a good reason to get a divorce.)

The instant these reports

Courtesy photo from the Library of Congress Caralyn B. Shelton on the job in then-Senator George Chamberlain’s office in Washington, D.C., circa 1915. were out, Shelton, citing these false published claims (which none of my sources were indelicate enough to get specific about), sued for and got a quick divorce from Mary … and then turned around and married his young ward, Caralyn. The two of them actually eloped, if that’s an appropriate word, across the state line to Weiser, Idaho, to tie the knot.

Mary Shelton returned home to find herself divorced and penniless, and with all of Union County atwitter about whatever

nasty and slutty things old man Shelton’s friends had claimed she did.

The 1800s was a time when older men commonly married young women; but they were not usually that old, or that young. Shelton was well past his mid-40s.

Caralyn had just turned 16 a few days before. She was Shelton’s stepdaughter.

She’d been living in his house since she was 12 years old and she’d looked upon him as a father figure.

Had he taken advantage of that relationship to initiate a statutory-rape

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY Waiting for sanity to return to GOP Watching the GOP continue its decline into a cult, with their leader being the disgraced ex-president Trump, brings to mind the comic strip Pogo.

Where Pogo utters “We have met the enemy and he is us.” Pogo was referring to the litter strewn about in the forest by the same people who should respect and enjoy nature.

The GOP has been littering our democracy and rights at a fervid pace lately. Especially in the area of women’s reproductive health care and their access to abortion. Their pro life mantra has been debunked by their crazy and cruel actions in various red states to block any and all access for a woman and her doctor to perform a safe and necessary medical

relationship with her before divorcing his wife? Well, yeah, of course he had. Had that been the real reason he wanted to divorce Mary?

We don’t know, and neither did all the neighbors, but that wasn’t (and isn’t) stopping any of us from speculating about it.

Certainly that is exactly the conclusion Mary Shelton drew from this chain of events, and she immediately got an attorney and set about suing Shelton’s big-mouthed friends for $50,000 for libel, and Shelton himself to have the divorce overturned.

Mary Shelton got a court of law in 1894 to overturn her divorce and thereby annul young Caralyn’s marriage. By this time, though, John Shelton had actually died, so the fight was no longer over the man, but over his estate.

Out of that fight Mary emerged victorious, so she inherited Shelton’s estate, and Caralyn, her reputation hopelessly sullied in Union through no fault of her own (I mean, come on, she was a child when all this happened), decided to stay in Portland — where she and her ersatz husband had moved shortly after their marriage.

Needing a job, she took one as a stenographer for a young attorney named George Chamberlain.

(A quick side note: Mary Shelton subsequently sued for and was granted a reinstatement of the divorce from her by-now-long-dead husband. Historian Richard Roth suggests she probably

did so to avoid being held liable for his business debts.)

Unwidowed Over the following few years as the newly “unwidowed” Caralyn settled into her work, her new boss, George Chamberlain, noticed his young typist’s aptitude for the law, which she had probably cultivated during the year or two when she’d been married to John Shelton.

Shelton, who’d had to start up a new law practice in Portland after slinking out of Union with his new child-wife, no doubt had pressed her into service as an unpaid legal assistant while he was working to build up his business. If so, the skills she learned served her well in her new job.

(But we’ll probably never know, because in the few interviews she did over the years for newspaper stories, she never said a word about old man Shelton, giving all credit for her legal training to Chamberlain.)

Soon Chamberlain had Caralyn functioning more or less as a paralegal for him, drafting legal documents for his review and signature and doing deep research. Soon she was an irreplacable part of his office.

In 1902, Chamberlain threw his hat into the ring for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Oregon. He won the job with a narrow majority, and See OFFICE, Page 11

Critical Incident Training

procedure regarding her health. Actions like the death penalty for the woman and her doctor.

Opening a path to prosecute anyone assisting a woman in need of an abortion.

A state refusing to help pay for emergency contraception for rape victims. They’re not pro-life, they’re pro forced birth. Doesn’t even matter to them if the woman became pregnant by violent means.

We watch them cry copious crocodile tears for zygotes yet plead for more easy access to the weapons responsible for the deaths of children. We have enough common enemies these days to worry about.

Until some sanity returns to the majority of the GOP, I’ll have to consider them on Shawn Hedgecorth / Country Media, Inc. our enemy list as sad as that may be.

OBITUARIES in Heidi’s loving care. and willingness to go the Jill Aardappel now Mary Griggs Along with so many friends extra mile. “For many On Wednesday, February 8th, 2023, Jill Golden Aardappel, a beloved mother, passed away due to complications of cancer.

She was born to the parents Howard and Lucille Golden, February 3rd, 1945, in Pittsburg, PA, and was raised in the Los Angeles area.

Jill is survived by her daughter, Jamie Comer of Carlsbad, CA, sonin-law Chris Comer, her Granddaughter Kayden Comer and her Grand-dogs, Amelia, and Mia. She is also survived by her two nieces, Whitney Moss-Currier and Xan DeVoss, her best friend and soul mate, Heidi English, and the abandoned cat, Little Miss, who is

whom she loved like family.

Jill was predeceased by her parents, Howard and Lucille and her sisters, Judy DeVoss and Jackie Moss.

Jill spent time in Manassas Park, VA, Big Sur, CA and Carmel, CA before making her final move to Brookings, OR, where she loved living in the redwood forest with a view of the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Living in Carmel, CA, she focused on her one love, photography, making friends with the sea otters she often photographed as well. Upon moving to Oregon, she was the campground host for the US Forrest Service at the Ludlum House in Brookings, OR for over 10 years and received several outstanding service awards.

Everyone who met her there became an instant friend and just raved about her bubbly happy personality

guests who return to the Ludlum House every year, the enchantment is due as much to Jill’s warm, inviting attitude as it is to the beauty of the mossy, trillium-laden forest.” Quoted out of the Curry Coastal Pilot by Kurt Madar (2008). Before and during her time as a host, she was well known on the Mushroom picking circuit where she met even more friends as she could be found at the buy station off Hwy 101.

Jill will soon be swimming with her favorite animal, the Dolphin, near Catalina Island. Donations can be made, in her name to the South Coast Humane Society by check SCHS PO Box 7833, Brookings, OR 97415 or online https://www. mysouthcoasthumane. org/donate as her love for animals, especially those in need, were dear to her heart.

said they had identified lands with good potential for manufacturing development.

Research and Development: Oregon CHIPS invests $10 million to help public universities leverage federal research

grants. This investment is aimed at bolstering the competitive advantage of Oregon proposals in the federal application process by demonstrating state commitment to projects related to economic development.

Mary “Lyn” Griggs a resident of brookings, Oregon passed away on April 8, 2023 in Brookings.

She was 84. At her request no services are planned and donations can be sent the South coast humane society in Brookings.

Richard C. O’Holleran January 8, 1931 – March 29, 2023 Richard

”Dick” O’Holleran was born January 8, 1931 in New Hampton, Iowa to Jack and Louise O’Holleran.

He had two sisters: Mary Jane Duignan

and Kay Louise Boyd.

Dick graduated from high school and joined the Air Force. He served as a First Lieutenant in Europe. After he returned home with an honorable discharge, he attended and graduated from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota.

In 1952, with his parents, Dick opened O’Holleran’s Steakhouse. He was most often found “keeping the bar” and greeting his friends and customers with his wonderful laugh and warm nature.

Dick was married to the love of his life in 1987.

He and Mary shared many wonderful years together traveling and spoiling their dogs Candy and Ebony – big Labradors who often chose to sit on Dick’s lap thinking they were smaller than they truly were.

Dick sold O’Holleran’s Restaurant in 2007 when he retired. He had many

fond and funny memories of his longtime employees and customers. More than once he was told he should have written a book about them. What a story that would have made!

Richard O’Holleran was a true gentleman. The most kind, loving and generous man any of us who knew him could find. He was the kind of man any human “could strive to grow up to be like.” We will miss your laughter, your love, our Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa and friend.

Burial arrangements are through Redwood Memorial Chapel. A Memorial and Mass will be held at Star of the Sea Catholic Church in May – date to be announced.

Donations may be made to South Coast Humane Society, P.O. Box 7833, Brookings, OR 97415 in Dick’s memory if desired.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Regarding Alterations to Golden State Finance Authority (formerly California Home Finance Authority) Community Facilities District No. 2014-1 (Clean Energy) WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 2023, 9:00 a.m.

1215 K Street, Suite 1650 Sacramento, CA 95814 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on March 8, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Golden State Finance Authority (“GSFA”) adopted Resolution No. 23-05, (the “Resolution”) scheduling a public hearing to consider altering its Community Facilities District No. 2014-1 (Clean Energy) (the “District”) to revise the proposed financing arrangements, authorize the financing of seismic safety improvements and wildfire safety improvements, and make various administrative changes, and all other matters set forth in that resolution.

The District was established in 2014 in accordance with section 53328.1 of the Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982 (Government Code section 53311 et seq.), as amended (the “Act”). The purpose of the District is to levy a special tax to finance the acquisition, installation, and improvement of certain improvements permanently affixed to or on real property and in buildings, with the unanimous approval of the property owner or owners.

The territory of the District, to wit, the territory proposed for annexation to the District in accordance with Section 53328.1, includes (1) any unincorporated land within those counties that are now or in the future either full members or associate members of GSFA and consent to the annexation of properties within their jurisdiction to the District and (2) any incorporated land within those cities that are now or in the future either full members or associate members of GSFA and consent to the annexation of properties within their jurisdictions to the District.

By adopting the Resolution, the Board of Directors has determined that the public convenience and necessity require alterations to the District, including revisions to the arrangements for financing the District to allow for the participation of multiple program administrators using a streamlined financing process; addition of seismic safety improvements and wildfire safety improvements to the types of authorized public facilities or services which may be financed by the District; and various administrative changes and updates.

A public hearing to consider these proposed changes will be held by the Board at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 26, 2023, in the regular meeting place of the Board of GSFA, 1215 K Street, Suite 1650, Sacramento, California 95814, or as soon thereafter as the Board may reach the matter. In addition, it is expected that the public hearing will be continued to 8:30 a.m. on Friday, May 12, 2023, at 999 Yosemite Drive, Chico, California 95928. Members of the public can watch, listen or participate remotely using the methods prescribed in an agenda to be made available in advance of each public hearing described immediately above at https://www.gsfahome. org/about/public-records. shtml.

This Notice briefly summarizes the Resolution. You should read the Resolution itself for the definitive description of the District’s financing program, including a description of the costs and the improvements that are authorized for this method of financing. The Resolution can be found at https://legistarweb-production.s3.amazonaws. com/uploads/attachment/ pdf/1822117/SB_555_ PACE_Program_Revisions_ ATTACH_1.pdf. A copy of Resolution No. 23-05 also may be reviewed or obtained at the office of the Secretary of GSFA, 1215 K

Street, Suite 1650, Sacramento, California.

As provided in the Act, the Board must hold a public hearing before the Board may make these proposed alterations to the District.

This is the notice of the public hearing.

At the public hearing, any persons interested, including all taxpayers, property owners, and registered voters, may appear and be heard, and the oral or written testimony of all interested persons or taxpayers for or against the proposed alterations or any other matters contained in the Resolution will be heard and considered. Any protests to the proposal may be made orally or in writing by any interested persons, except that any protests pertaining to the regularity or sufficiency of the proceedings must be in writing and must clearly set forth the irregularities and defects to which objection is made.

The Board may waive any irregularities in the form or content of any written protest and, at the public hearing, may correct minor defects in the proceedings.

All written protests not presented in person at the public hearing must be filed with the Secretary of the Board at or before the time fixed for the public hearing in order to be received and considered. Any written protest may be withdrawn in writing at any time before the conclusion of the public hearing.

After the conclusion of the public hearing, if written protests against one or more of the proposed changes have been filed and not withdrawn by 50% or more of the registered voters residing and registered within the territory of the District, or if written protests against one or more of the proposed changes have been filed and not withdrawn by the owners of one-half or more of the land area that is within the territory of the District and not exempt from the special tax, then such change or changes shall be eliminated from the resolution ordering changes and such change or changes shall not be included in a resolution for a period of one year from the date of the Board of Directors’ determination that a majority protest exists.

At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Board of Directors may abandon these proceedings or may, after passing upon all protests, determine to proceed with the changes set forth in this resolution.

If the Board determines to proceed with the changes, then the election procedure shall be combined with any other elections required by law, and will consist of the execution of Unanimous Approval Agreements as provided in Sections 53328.1, 53329.6 and 53355.5 of the Government Code.

The GSFA Executive Director or such officer’s designee (the “Executive Director”) has studied the proposed changes and will provide, at or before the time of the public hearing, a report describing the following: A list of Authorized Improvements; a representative listing of incidental expenses; a recommended form of Unanimous Approval Agreement; recommendations for appropriate procedures and criteria for processing and evaluating applications for participation and annexation to the CFD from the owners of property within the territory of the CFD; recommended forms for properties to annex to the CFD; and an estimate of the related incidental expenses - all in accordance with the Resolution. The report will be available for inspection by the public and will become a part of the record of the public hearing. Questions should be directed to Craig Ferguson, Deputy Director, GSFA, whose telephone number is (916) 447-4806.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are

a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

Lights electric co-op.

Ventura is in the highlands of Guatemala, northeast of Jalapa. The village is situated in rough, mountainous landscapes, fertile valleys, and lush vegetation. Homes in the village are simple structures made of adobe bricks held together by natural materials, with wood-burning hearths for cooking and dirt floors. All the structures also lacked running water. What the villagers lack in household amenities, they have in strong connection to the land, faith, and traditions.

“The opportunity to make a difference in helping others is truly inspiring,” Sherman said.

“Everyone worked hard, and the villagers were very humble. I was in awe a lot.

The people are so happy there and have nothing.”

The absence of electricity in Ventura limits the villagers’ ability to access education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. Most of their time is spent tending to their crops, processing food, and cooking on open fires in their homes. The installation of electric service will greatly impact their lives. Each home was equipped with a light bulb, light switch, and electrical outlets.

“In addition to living in homes that are now safe from the hazards of black soot, smoke, and open flames, the installation of electric service will also give the villagers hope and a chance to plan for their future,” Sherman said. “Girls will be able to prioritize their education

instead of spending their time processing corn for meals at home, and women will have more opportunities to join the workforce and provide for their families.”

Challenging task Electrifying the village was a challenging task as the team did not have access to their regular tools and equipment.

However, Sherman, the Oregon Empowers team, and the villagers worked together to overcome the challenge. They hand-dug deep holes down to the solid rock into support the new electric infrastructure and manually pulled wires through fields to connect with the municipal power system.

Since boom trucks were not available, the crew spent many hours climbing power poles and hiking steep terrain. The power poles in the system were made of eucalyptus, which proved to be much more difficult for the crew to climb compared to the fir and cedar poles they are used to working within the United States.

Sherman participated in the installation and illumination of the first lightbulb in Ventura.

“It was a lot more than what met the eye,” he said.

“Although the villager didn’t express much emotion, you could sense her deep gratitude and happiness.”

The electrification project happened to take place during the holy week, and the atmosphere was charged with a sense of faith and spirituality, according to the release.

Toward the end of the trip, Sherman visited a local market to purchase souvenirs for his family back in the United States.

While browsing through the store, he stumbled upon a sweatshirt with a quote that reads, “Faith begins at the End of Your Comfort Zone.”

“I am not one to buy souvenirs, but this sweatshirt summed up the experience perfectly,” Sherman said. “This experience has been truly transformative for

then it was time to move to Salem.

Naturally, Chamberlain wanted his most valuable aide to come with him to the capitol. And when he was setting about building his cabinet, he appointed her to the position of Governor’s Private Secretary.

To modern ears, “Governor ’s Private Secretary” sounds like a frivolous position at best — or maybe like the name of a “sexy” Halloween costume from that Spirit Halloween store that pops up in vacant storefronts every September. But that’s because for the last 100 years or so we have all gotten used to the idea of secretaries being little more than typewriter operators and call screeners.

A secretary in 1902 was much more than that, more like a junior executive — a secretary in the “secretary of defense” or “secretary of state” sense of the word.

In 1902 it was almost unprecedented for a woman to have the job of private secretary to a state governor.

Caralyn may actually have been the first one in the nation.

Serving as Governor Chamberlain served six years — one and a half terms — as Oregon governor with Caralyn Shelton by his side. His wife, Sallie Welch Chamberlain, had no desire to leave her social and family connections up in Portland and was more than busy with their seven children, so the Chamberlains maintained their home up in the big town for the family and George “batched it” in the governor’s mansion, traveling home as frequently as he could.

Caralyn basically took over the social-secretarial functions of a First Lady so that Sallie could focus on her family up north.

In his book, historian Richard Roth says she and Chamberlain likely had an long-running affair during this time, and that may be so, but I’ve found nothing in my research that supports or even suggests this, and Salem has never been a town that can keep a secret, especially one involving

both sex and partisan politics, for anywhere near that long Resigned as Governor Halfway through his second term in office, Chamberlain ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate, and won the election. He resigned his office as governor in favor of his Secretary of State, Frank W. Benson, and prepared to board an eastbound train to take his new seat.

There was a problem, though.

The entire freshman crop of senators from all across the country, every new senator who had won the 1908 election, was slated to be sworn in and seated on March 4, 1909. As seniority was determined by the date of swearing-in, all those senators, including Chamberlain, would have equal seniority to one another … unless one of them arrived in D.C. late and missed the swearing-in.

If that happened, the latecomer would be junior to all the other members of his incoming class.

And that was a problem because March 1 was the day Benson was scheduled to be sworn in as Oregon governor.

If Chamberlain stayed in Oregon through the end of his term, he wouldn’t arrive in D.C. until three or four days later, and he’d miss the swearing-in ceremony.

That would mean that every other member of the incoming 1908 freshman class of senators would have seniority over him.

No problem This had happened before, and the solution was an easy one. The incoming governor simply came in a few days early with the title of Acting Governor; then, when March 1 came along, he’d be sworn in for real.

But there was a problem this time. On Feb. 27 when Chamberlain boarded that eastbound train, Secretary Benson, who was already struggling with the recurring illness (possibly malaria) that would kill him three years later, was too sick to play his part.

Well, this wasn’t uncharted territory either.

There was a contingency

plan in place. If the Secretary of State couldn’t step in as acting governor for any reason, the job fell to … you guessed it … the governor’s private secretary.

And thus it was that, on Feb. 27, the state of Oregon became the first in U.S. history to have a woman governor.

Oath of Office March 1, 1909, was a Monday, and by 10 o’clock Benson was feeling well enough to take the oath of office and step into his new role; this brought Caralyn Shelton’s 49-hour political career to a triumphal end.

By the way, the newspapers in 1909 found this whole exchange highly amusing and covered the situation extensively.

Governor Shelton made a point of telling them she would veto no bills, promulgate no executive orders, and grant no pardons during her term. As far as I’ve been able to learn, nothing much happened during her time in office; but if anything had, she would have been the state’s chief executive in charge of dealing with it. And it’s clear that everyone involved had total confidence in her ability to do so, if she had to.

And after Benson took over, Caralyn boarded a train to D.C. to take her place in Chamberlain’s office.

She served there in Chamberlain’s office in D.C. throughout his two terms as a Senator, and, when he was defeated for re-election in the 1920 “red wave” of anti-Woodrow Wilson votes (don’t get me started on THAT guy), settled down in D.C. in private practice. And in July of 1926, a suitable interval of time after Sallie Chamberlain’s death at age 70 … reader, she married him.

Another first This was, of course, another “first” — the first case of two former state governors marrying each other in U.S. history. By this time, Chamberlain was 72 years old, and Caralyn a youthful 50. They had been friends and business partners for most of their

lives George and Caralyn Chamberlain only got to live together as husband and wife for a few months.

Shortly after (or possibly before; the records aren’t clear) the marriage, George suffered a paralytic stroke.

He lingered on for some months after that, an invalid, being cared for by Caralyn; but in 1928, three days before their second wedding anniversary, he died.

Caralyn followed 10 years later, on Feb. 2, 1936, at the age of 59. Oddly, none of the many obituaries that ran in newspapers around the state even mention her 49-hour term as governor!

A quick footnote: There is much confusion about Caralyn Shelton’s name. Newspaper articles about her, of which there were many, called her “Carolyn.” Her great-great niece, Anne Mitchell, told Bryan Vance of OPB that her birth name was Carrie, but that she changed it to Caralyn to sound more formal in her role as George Chamberlain’s top paralegal. In any case, the name used in her obituary and carved on her gravestone is “Caralyn,” so that’s what I have adopted for this story.
