County risk still ‘moderate’ as state locks down ZACK DEMARS The Pilot

Curry County businesses won’t be subject to new restrictions this week, even as full hospitals in parts of the state force new lockdowns in 15 counties.

State health officials announced Tuesday new restrictions would be imposed in some regions after reporting a high rate of virus hospitalizations statewide.

But that change doesn’t yet in-

clude Curry County, which will remain in the moderate-risk category, with indoor dining and recreation still open at limited capacity.

Curry County’s case rate rose slightly this week over last, with 40 cases of the virus reported between April 11 and 24 and a test positivity rate of 3.8% over the same period.

An additional five cases would have moved the county to the high-risk category.

Meanwhile, Oregon’s per100,000 rate is 240 for the time

frame, and its test positivity was 5.7%, some of the highest rates in months during what state health officials are calling the “fourth surge” of virus infections.

“My goal is to lift these restrictions as soon as it is safely possible, and keep Oregon on the path for lifting most health and safety requirements by the end of June so we can fully reopen our economy,” Oregon Gov. Kate Brown wrote Tuesday in a press release announcing the new restrictions on

some counties. “But we will only get there if enough Oregonians get vaccinated.”

Curry County’s vaccination rate continues to tick upwards, now the 14th-highest of the state’s 36 counties, with just around 39% of the population vaccinated, according to the Oregon Health Authority.

Anyone over 16 is eligible to receive a vaccine. All three authorized vaccines are now available for administration, after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was unsuspended

following a review of its use by federal regulatory agencies.

Curry Health Network organizes weekly vaccine clinics at its hospitals and medical centers in Port Orford, Gold Beach and Brookings.

Registrations for those events are available online at http://www.curryhealthnetwork.com/education.

Appointments can also be made for appointments at Rite Aid, Safeway and Albertsons stores, Fred Meyer, some Health Mart pharmacies, Bi-Mart and Walmart.

“He’s my neighbor, I’m his neighbor, we are all neighbors… I don’t want to leave here, but he didn’t consider that we were losing our view and my beautiful way of life,” said Victoria Lindaman. Below, this more than 8,000 square foot building will soon block out the ocean view.

‘What happened to being a decent neighbor?’

By KNOX KERANEN The Pilot

Victoria Lindaman and her husband moved to Brookings in 2007 to retire. They both loved the ocean, so they bought a ranch with an ocean view. However, Lindaman lost her husband to cancer in 2018, and now it appears she will lose her scenic view.

Don Kirk Construction, a local contracting business owned by Don Kirk, is building a 8,736- squarefoot roof truss manufacturing plant behind Lindaman’s house, as well as her neighbor’s — Jason Greene.

Lindaman said she can’t understand why Kirk chose to build where he did.

Curry community radio looking for a boost KNOX KERANEN The Pilot

Local station 100.7 FM Curry Coast Community Radio could go off the air, unless they find a new tower to broadcast from by October.

The nonprofit, volunteer station is scouting potential locations for a new tower while raising money to assemble it, before they are forced to move their broadcast antenna off of the city of Brookings tower this fall.

A one-year memorandum of understanding between CCCR (KCIW) 100.7 FM and the city is currently allowing the station to rent space on the city tower at $100 per month. Previously, the station had been able to broadcast from the city tower for free, but the Brookings City Council decided to not More Radio, Page A10

U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley announced Thursday he was planning to introduce legislation that would rein in drug prices across the country.

Merkley said for years he has heard Oregon residents complain about the cost of medication, and he feels Congress could make a move to change things now.

“Every year, I hold town hall in each Oregon county, and I get someone who stands up and says what are we doing for the price of drugs,” Merkley said. “Why is it so much more expensive than in Canada.”

And Merkley said the perception of higher costs is true.

He pointed to a man in Douglas County who had to buy medication for his daughter, who suffered seizures. In Canada, the medicine cost $200 a month, while in Douglas County is was $45,000 a month.

Merkley said the discrepancy was so great he asked his staff to verify it was true, and it was.

Merkley also pointed to insulin, a common medicine for many with diabetes. In some countries, insulin costs $35, while in the United States, it runs $2,000.

“When you look at the cost of insulin in America versus abroad, it’s clear we’re getting gouged,” Merkley said.

Merkley said few people in the country are happy with prescription costs, adding people, both rich and poor, are going bankrupt daily due to the costs of medicine.

“The only people in America who think the drug prices aren’t too high are people getting rich from high drug prices,” Merkley said.

As a result, Merkley said he was going to introduce the End Price Gouging for Medication Act, with the goal of getting support from people in Oregon and across the country.

The legislation would make it so drug companies cannot charge more for medications than the average price charged In 11 other developed countries. It would apply to all patients, regardless of what insurance they have or whether they have insurance or not.

Merkley has tried to pass similar legislation in the past, but he feels 2021 is the perfect time to make it happen.

“This year we are anticipating the introduction of the American Families Plan,” Merkley said. “We expect major healthcare reform to be a part of this package. This is the moment to get this right.”

Merkley said the reason drug prices are so high in America is easy to find: lobbyists. He said lobbyists from drug companies are More Merkley, Page A9

Mary Evelyn Allen July 5, 1935 – March 13, 2021

Mary Evelyn (Dungan) Allen passed away on March 13, 2021 in Bainbridge Island, WA where she had resided the past 3 years.

Evelyn, as she was known later by her friends and family, was born July 5th, 1935 in Wauneta, Kansas and later moved to San Francisco for a short period while her father worked at a factory during World War II. The family eventually settled in Mammoth, AZ where Mary Evelyn graduated high school. She graduated from the University of Arizona in 1957 and received a Masters in Library Science in 1973.

She spent the majority of her career as a librarian at Emily Gray Junior High in Tucson, Arizona from 1974-1993.

Evelyn was a devoted mother and grandmother.

Evelyn married Jim Wharton in 1957 and they raised three children, Will, Jeri, and Gavin together.

They eventually divorced and Evelyn married Ethan Toby Allen in 1978. Together, they had one son, Todd, and remained dedicated to each other until his untimely death in 2010.

Jennifer’s middle name Adair came about while her mother was pregnant and watching a show called Finders of Lost Loves staring Deborah Adair.

Her mother loved the actress and the name and that is how her middle name came about.

To all who knew her, she like being called “Jenn” not Jenny.

Jennifer was always the fun one, competitive one, the athletic one, and was so generous of her time, money and talents. Jenn was very mechanically inclined, artistic, and so smart. As a child, Jennifer did not want barbies, she wanted race cars and motorcycles. She was such a tomboy throughout her life. In her younger years Jenn participated in every sport from t-ball, football, soccer, little league, and in high school cross country at Brookings High School in Brookings, Oregon. Jenn loved fast-pitch softball and played centerfield. In the summer of 2002, she spent the summer maintaining trails in the Northwest Youth Corps on the Pacific Coast

decent neighbor?” Lindaman rhetorically asked Curry County Commissioner John Herzog, who visited the residences last week. “He’s my neighbor, I’m his neighbor, we are all neighbors… I don’t want to leave here, but he didn’t consider that we were losing our view and my beautiful way of life.”

Greene recently moved to Brookings with his wife and elderly father who is battling dementia.

He said their realtor did not warn them about the proposed manufacturing plant before they purchased their house.

He said his father’s health has already been affected by construction, and he is worried it will only get worse when operations start up. Recently, Lindaman and Greene’s family had to leave their houses due to overwhelming construction dust.

“Yes, my dad is being impacted by it and we try to manage it every day,” said Greene.

In November of 2019, Lindaman received a letter

from the county notifying her of the proposed construction. She wrote back to the county expressing her concerns about the build.

Excerpts from her letter read, “Why is Mr. Kirk planning to place his truss building on the upper end of his property close to my home rather than at the bottom next to Hwy 101?...I am concerned about the noise pollution of this type of facility...I am also concerned about the air pollution associated with this type of facility…”

In reply to her letter, the county told Lindaman Kirk’s building meets all relevant building codes and has acquired the appropriate permits. This fact has been verified by the Pilot.

After the exchange of letters, Lindaman and Greene personally met with Kirk and laid out their concerns directly.

During the meeting, they asked him why he chose to build the facility near their houses, and not somewhere else on the property. According to Lindaman and Greene, Kirk told them his utility costs would be more expensive if he were to build farther away from their houses.

Curry County Commissioner John Herzog visited Jason Greene and Victoria Lindaman at their house last week to get a first-hand account of the issue.

While Lindaman and Greene will be the most impacted by the facility, they are not the only residents who are worried.

In an April 24 letter to Kirk, nearby resident — Ilona Fegel — wrote, “I realize you have followed business procedures with

proper permits, legal advice etc. I just don’t understand why your building couldn’t be constructed away from the neighbor’s property.” Fegel

also illustrated concerns about noise and air pollution in her letter.

Kirk declined to comment for this story.

your help.”

Edwards said the state’s hospitals have again begun meeting to consider activating surge plans and canceling some elective procedures to free up capacity.

While the median age of virus-hospitalized patients has been decreasing as older generations get vaccinated, Edwards said some hospitals in the state are running “dangerously low” on available ECMO machines, a type of life support.

Edwards said the rise in hospitalizations is pushing the medical community to once again ask residents to heighten their virus precautions to prevent an additional surge.

“We’re truly hopeful that based upon where we are in our vaccination pace, this will be the last such time,” Edwards said.

The doctor offered a projection to make the case for a return to restrictions: Imposing lockdowns could prevent 180 deaths and 450 virus-related hospitalizations

over the next three weeks compared to the state’s current rate of virus spread, Edwards said.

The governor last week also offered Oregonians an important light at the end of the tunnel: A projection that the state could see its economy fully reopened by the end of June.

“I do think, with all of us working together, that we can get to a place where we lift most restrictions and fully reopen our economy no later than the end of June,” Brown said.

“That’s the hill on the horizon. We can climb it together. How quickly we get

there is up to each and every one of us.”

That reopening could resemble something close to “pre-pandemic life,” the governor said — though simple health measures like mask-wearing and social distancing in some settings could still be necessary.

But getting that point will require a high rate of COVID-19 vaccination across the state, according to Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen.

“We can safely reopen before summer if enough of us get vaccinated to protect ourselves and each other,” Allen said. “It’s not enough

to hit a target percentage of people who are vaccinated, we can’t leave any community behind.”

The state could get about 80% of adults at least one vaccine dose by the Fourth of July, Allen said — but only if demand for vaccines remains high across the state.

“Today, this relentless, shapeshifting virus is trying to fight its way back and regain control over our lives,” Allen said. “We can stave off this virus and we can keep it from coming back. The best way to put the pandemic behind us is to take this simple, direct action: Get vaccinated.”

More restrictions coming in 15 counties as hospitalizations rise ZACK DEMARS The Pilot

Fifteen Oregon counties will see new restrictions this week, Gov. Kate Brown announced Tuesday.

“If we don’t act now, doctors, nurses, hospitals, and other health care providers in Oregon will be stretched to their limits treating severe cases of COVID-19,” Brown wrote in a press release.

“With new COVID-19 variants widespread in so many of our communities, it will take all of us working together to bring this back under control.”

The announcement means indoor dining and recreation will be prohibited as the affected counties are pushed back into the extreme-risk level of virus regulations starting Friday.

The qualifying counties include: Baker, Clackamas, Columbia, Crook, Deschutes, Grant, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Lane, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk and Wasco.

The extreme-risk designations were triggered when the state hit a metric health officials laid out earlier this month: A sharp increase in virus hospitalizations, with over 300 hospitalized with the virus statewide.

State officials will re-evaluate county health data each Tuesday to assign new levels to take effect the following Friday.

The counties will remain in the extreme level for a maximum of three weeks, according to the governor’s office.

Brown forecasted the risk level moves in a press conference April 23, announcing her plan to skip a “warning week” and initiate new risk levels a week ahead of originally scheduled.

The move follows what experts have been calling the

“fourth surge,” a statewide increase in COVID-19 cases that’s given the state the country’s second-most rapid spread in infections, according to Brown.

“Unfortunately today, that surge is here. Right now in the race between vaccines and variants, the variants are gaining ground, and are gaining the upper hand,” Brown said at the press conference with officials from the Oregon Health Authority.

Together they painted a dire picture of the state’s hospitals and expressed significant concerns about how continued increases in cases could overwhelm their facilities.

“I want to be clear that what is pressuring our capacity is not all COVID patients, but the increasing COVID numbers on top of the necessary care that we deliver every day,” said Dr. Renee Edwards, the chief medical officer at Oregon Health & Science University. “Our emergency departments are more than full, and we need

Work to preserve employer-sponsored health insurance

By Janet Trautwein Congress is contemplating its next move on health care.

As part of the American Rescue Plan Act, billions of dollars in subsidies are on their way to those who purchase individual coverage through the exchanges. Many lawmakers now want to turn to legislation that would create a public health insurance option.

Most Americans get coverage for themselves and their families through their jobs. They like it.

Under a public option, they could eventually lose it.

One analysis of a public option plan introduced in the House in 2019 found that it would have caused nearly one in four workers to lose employer-sponsored health coverage by 2023. By 2032, it would have deprived one in three of job-based coverage.

A public option would siphon people away from employer-sponsored insurance because it could provide coverage more cheaply than private insurers.

Unlike private plans that must negotiate payment rates with healthcare providers, a public plan would have the power to dictate the prices it would pay doctors and hospitals.

That’s exactly what our nation’s existing public health plans, Medicare and Medicaid, do. Total enrollment in the two programs approaches 140 million people. That means they insure more than two in five Americans.

With that kind of clout, Medicare and Medicaid significantly underpay providers. The two programs pay hospitals just 87 cents and 89 cents, respectively, for every dollar in cost they incur caring for the programs’ beneficiaries. Those underpayments totaled nearly $76

billion in 2019.

Providers compensate by charging private insurers more. A study from the RAND Corporation found private health plans pay hospitals 247 percent of what Medicare would pay for the same service, on average.

Adding a low-paying public option to the mix would force providers to shift yet more of their costs onto private plans. Private insurers couldn’t simply absorb those additional costs. Their margins are already thin. The cost of care eats up 80 percent to 90 percent of every premium dollar. Higher costs for private insurers would mean higher premiums and deductibles for employers and patients.

Some employers would respond by dropping coverage and directing their employees to the public option. Privately insured individuals would do the same. And the cycle would repeat, until the public option had pushed private health plans out of the market.

So, adding a public option is not, as its proponents assert, a way to expand consumer choice or inject new competition into the health insurance market. Instead, it would reduce consumers’ choices and destroy the insurance market.

Employer-sponsored insurance has been at the heart of the U.S. healthcare system for decades. And it’s popular. Seven in 10 people with job-based coverage give their plan a grade of “A” or “B,” according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Congress should listen to these folks - and not take any action that would harm our system of employer-sponsored health plans.

Pumping up fear along the Colorado River

By George Sibley

Some Colorado River tribulations today remind me of a folk story: A young man went to visit his fiancé and found the family trembling and weeping. They pointed to the ceiling, where an axe was embedded in a rafter.

“That could fall,” the father quavered. “It could kill someone!”

Puzzled, the young man climbed onto a chair, and pulled the axe out of the rafter. Everyone fell all over themselves thanking him. But he quickly broke off the engagement, concerned that such inanity might be inheritable.

This resembles ongoing dithering over the 1922 Colorado River Compact, a 99-year-old agreement among the seven states through which the Colorado River meanders, on how the consumptive use of the river’s water should be divided to give each state a fair share. The agreement was necessary to get federal participation (money) to build dams to control the erratic river.

The best they were able to do, given the sketchy information they had about each state’s future development and also about the flow of the river, was to divide the river into two “basins” around the natural divide of the Colorado River canyons: Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico in the Upper Basin; and California, Arizona and Nevada in the Lower Basin.

Each basin would get to consume 7.5 million acre-feet of the river’s water.

This placed a responsibility on the Upper Basin states to “not cause the flow of the river at Lees Ferry (the measuring point in the canyons) to be depleted” below the

Lower Basin’s share.

A generous reading of that lawyerly clause in the compact would say the upper states should just be careful that their water development doesn’t dip into the lower states’ allocation.

A less generous reading would say that if for any reason the flow at Lees Ferry fell below the average of 7.5 million acre feet — whether due to over-appropriation by the upper states, or to a natural cause like a 20-year headwaters drought — the lower states would place a call on the upper states, which would have to cut their own uses and send their water downriver, whether they “caused” the shortage or not.

To maintain that flow in a drought, the upper states would bear the full pain of the drought for the whole river.

Guess which interpretation the upper states chose for their own 1948 compact? Never mind that a compact call led by California for its share of water is nowhere mentioned in the 1922 Compact. The axe was planted in the rafter.

They might better have asked how the 1922 Compact creators themselves envisioned the unknown future. The transcripts of the 27 Compact meetings show that the seven state commissioners and their federal chairman Herbert Hoover were concerned, as late as their 21st meeting, that they did not know enough about the river’s flows to make a permanent equitable division of the waters.

Hoover summarized their concern, and their intent: “We make now, for lack of a better word, a temporary equitable division,” leaving the further apportionment of the river’s use “to the hands of those men who may come after us,

possessed of a far greater fund of information.” They even included in the compact (Article VI) instructions for reconvening to consider “claims or controversy... over the meaning or performance of any of the terms of this compact.”

By the drought years of the1930s, it was already obvious that the 7.5 million-acre feet compact allocations were unrealistic.

That would have been a logical time for the upper states to pull the axe out of the rafter, before the river was so fully developed.

But they didn’t, and as the compact began to take on the aura of something carved in stone on a holy mountain, the fear of the “compact call” gradually descended into expensive paranoia.

The vastly expensive 24 million acre-feet of storage in Powell Reservoir just upstream from Lees Ferry was created there to fulfill the Upper Basin’s self-assumed “delivery obligation,” come hell or low water.

But now, hellish low water has come to Powell, and upper states are developing costly “demand management” programs whereby someone yet unspecified would pay ranchers to fallow fields so their water can be “banked” in Powell against the dreaded “compact call.”

The seven states are now — finally —initiating negotiations on a more reality-based governance of the Colorado River. Let’s hope they have the good sense to pull that axe out of the rafters before negotiating fair water use under it.

Letters to the editor Our volunteers rock Regarding National Volunteer week...This letter is a bit slow in its arrival to honor our Curry County Suicide Awareness and Prevention Council’s Veterans Task Group’s work along with all those who volunteer.

Collectively, veterans, their families and their supporters are one of the most productive groups of volunteers in the country and around the world.

So, thank you to all who continue in service to others beyond their military service and the family members and citizens who pay it forward to others.

This begs the question - how can we as a community “pay it forward” to veterans and their fami-

lies for their sacrifices? Here is a suggestion: As you may or may not know, Curry County has a high suicide rate among our veterans. Our Curry County Suicide Awareness and Prevention Council’s Veterans Task Group is hosting and presenting special QPR Suicide Prevention trainings for veterans and family members (May 7th, 11-1) and community providers, Law Enforcement and First Responders QPR (May 14th, 11-1). Please consider saying “thank you” and “pay it forward” to our veterans by attending one these free virtual suicide prevention trainings. For more information on how you, your family members or organization can participate in the “Pay It Forward Movement,”

please leave a message at 541-4121224 and we will call you back with details. Or, check out Wild Rivers Veterans Forum’s Facebook page for a flyer (or Curry’s CHIP Facebook page or our Curry County Suicide Awareness and Prevention Council’s Facebook page).

Or feel free to email Connie.

Hunter@outlook.com. We can bring flyers and posters to your workplace upon request.

Thank you for honoring our volunteers and especially those who have served our country honorably and the loved ones who have made sacrifice, too. Our community can help save lives!

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.\~ NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477- 7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 087456-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase

the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 087456-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Alexander Trueblood, in

999

The petition for probate requests that Alexander Trueblood be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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: 5/14/2021 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. 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. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance Washington, D.C. 20531

Draft Finding of No Significant Impact In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), codified at 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., a Draft Environmental Assessment has been prepared for providing Federal financial assistance to the Yurok Tribe, Klamath, Del Norte County, California. The project is subject to NEPA review because it is being funded, in part, with Federal funding available from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance.

Proposed Action The proposed action will cover the expansion of the existing Justice Center. The expansion would allow the Tribe to increase the functions of the Tribal Court and the Yurok Tribal Police as a multi-purpose justice facility. The expansion of the existing facility will allow the Tribe to create additional space that utilizes existing water and wastewater services. The current space occupied by the Yurok Tribal Police is inadequate to meet the needs of their program and the communities that they serve.

Location The proposed project will be located on the Yurok Reservation, on an approximately 0.3acre parcel (APN 140-091003) located at 230 Klamath Boulevard, within the town of Klamath, Del Norte County, California, east of State Highway 101 (U.S. 101).

Finding The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance has determined that the proposed demolition and replacement of the facility would not significantly affect the quality of the human or physical environment. It is not expected that an environmental impact statement will be prepared for this project.

Public Comments Interested parties may obtain a copy of the Draft Environmental Assessment from or may submit written comments relating to this Draft Finding of No Significant Impact to the following address: www.yuorktribe.org Or Contact: Cynthia Bones, Planner III PO Box 1027 Klamath CA 95548 Phone: 707 482-1350 ext 1385 Email: cbones@yuroktribe.nsn.us No administrative action will be taken on the project before May 15,2021, which is 15 calendar days after the public notice of this Draft Finding of No Significant Impact.

Southwestern offers free class-

FRIDAY, APRIL 30, 2021 | A9

Southwestern Oregon Community College is offering free summer term classes through its Coos and Curry campuses. Summer term registration opens Monday, May 3. This will include an offering of academic in-person, in-person/hybrid, and online classes.

“We know this past year has been incredibly challenging for students. Don’t give up on your job training and college transfer degrees,” said Patty Scott, Southwestern president. “Our economy will rebound. Southwestern wants to be sure people who live in western Douglas, Coos and Curry counties are able to train to take advantage of high-skill jobs.”

camped out in Washington, D.C. and are constantly appealing to lawmakers to make no change.

“We have allowed Americans to get ripped off for far too long,” Merkley said.

“We need to stand up to big pharma. It’s not a red bill or a blue bill, this is an American bill. Let’s deliver common-sense policy that should

Southwestern is reaching out specifically to high school graduates from 2020 and this year’s graduates. The college also is contacting its own students who may have dropped out over the past year due to the move to fully online classes. In addition, the college is hoping to reach people who have lost their jobs due to the economic downturn and COVID-19 restrictions. The college also continues to offer free GED® classes.

The college will waive tuition and general course fees for summer term registration. Summer classes include writing, math, general science, philosophy, speech, anthropology and more.

The college will continue to charge,

Merkley said he has not floated the idea past Pres.

Joe Biden, but he is hopeful Biden would support it.

“My goal is to make this such a big issue, a premier issue so he’s compelled to support it,” Merkley said.

“This is universally popular.

Therefore, any president who wants to get re-elected should seize on this issue.”

In the bill, Medicare would negotiate prices for medication nationwide, but the benefit would be for everyone.

however, in limited areas for special, program-specific fees.

“Southwestern can help you train for health or other CTE careers, or to make progress on your transfer degree.

Contact us, and we’ll help you plan your future,” Scott said.

“It’s a big issue for the citizens in every state,” he said. “The pricing is very complicated. You don’t know what you’re going to pay, what your insurance is going to pay. It is absolutely an issue for families across the state.”

Merkley said he has heard the argument that insurance companies charge more in the United States to cover the cost of research for new medication.

He had a one-word response to that idea.

“Bogus,” he said. “It is a completely bogus argument.

A lot of the research money comes from the taxpayers, so we should get the best prices.”

Merkley said if pharmaceutical companies cut prices in the United States by 50 percent and raised them by 5 percent elsewhere, they would bring in just as much money for research.

Merkley said Americans have been overpaying, (he used the word gouged frequently,) for too long, and it

The police reform package passed Monday included: • House Bill 3164 A: Limits the circumstances under which a person could be charged with interfering with an officer. The bill aims to prevent unjustifiable arrests for all Oregonians, but especially BIPOC communities and people experiencing homelessness who are disproportionately impacted. The bill, brought to the floor at the request of the ACLU, will also protect reporters who are simply trying to do their job.

• House Bill 2513 A: Requires police officers to not only be certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), but also receive training on airway and circulatory anatomy and physiology as well, and to immediately contact emergency medical services if a restrained person is suffering a respiratory or cardiac compromise.

• House Bill 2936 A: Affirms anti-racist values for law enforcement, adding social media policies and standardizing background checks. Requires DPSST to create a statewide uniform background check for law enforcement units to implement during hiring processes.

strate that you can take two people on opposite sides of an issue, and instead of calling each other names... there is actually a way to find common ground.”

In total, Michel and Pieper recorded 32 episodes together. After resigning from his mayoral post, Pieper decided to take a break from the show.

Now, Brooking’s community radio station needs somewhere to go. Michel said CCCR has to raise $30,000-35,000 to be able to erect a new tower and attach their broadcast antenna to it. So far, they’ve come up with nearly $6,000 from donations. Michel said they are hoping to receive grant funding as well. All in all, she thinks the station will survive.

“Every time we have been in desperate need for somebody or something, somehow it’s been there,” said Michel.

renew that agreement, fearing they would appear biased by supporting a station which leans left politically, said Candice Michel, treasurer of CCCR. Michel got involved with CCCR when founders Tom and Linda Bozack approached her with the idea of

a volunteer-run community radio station in 2014. The Bozacks knew Michel from her time with a local TV station, which had dissolved.

“They had this idea that a community radio station might be a pretty cool thing to have,” said Michel. “They ambushed me...Linda says, ‘you definitely want to be a part of the community radio station, right?’ Within two or three weeks I was on their board.”

In the beginning, CCCR was more of a podcast provider than a radio station; posting pre-recorded music, talk and drama shows on their website. Meanwhile, Michel and other members were educating themselves on how to actually broadcast their programming on the radio.

“None of us had any idea what we were doing,” said Michel. “My dad was a disc jockey when I was growing

up, so I was familiar with what it looked like to be in a radio station, but I didn’t have any clue about how to put one together.”

Slowly but surely, the group gathered the necessary knowledge and equipment to be able to broadcast, and in April of 2017, CCCR went on the air.

Since then, CCCR has been transmitting mostly original programming nonstop, including unique music

shows, such as “Afrosonic Taxi” and “Hard and Heavy with the Dutchman.”

Additionally, anyone is welcome to produce their own show and pitch it to the station, making CCCR truly a community radio station, said Michel.

In fact, Michel recently wrapped up the final episode of a talk show series she hosted with former Mayor Jake Pieper called “Building Bridges.” The idea for the show was to take people from opposite sides of the political spectrum and have them discuss local and national issues in a well-behaved manner. Michel, who identifies as a liberal, and Pieper, a conservative, did just that. Michel said the result amazed her.

“I’ve learned so much from him and I think he’s learned from me as well,” said Michel. “It was exactly what we wanted to demon-

Oregon to get sixth congressional seat

When the U.S. Census announced its 2020 count Monday, Oregon was announced as one of seven states that will add congressional seats, beginning in 2022.

Oregon will have a sixth congressional seat, adding a seat for the first time in nearly 40 years.

rights, to tackling the climate crisis and so much more.”

At the same times, House Republican Leader Christine Drazan said she hopes the state will do a fair redistricting that gives both parties a real chance at competing for the new seat.

Drazan pointed to the House Redistricting Committee, which currently has three Republicans and three Democrats.

“Now that we have equal representation on the redistricting committee, our legislative and congressional districts will be drawn in a way that avoids political gerrymandering,” said Drazan. “Our current maps have favored one political party over another for the past 20 years, but Oregonians can be confident that this sixth congressional district will be drawn according to the rules to give people fair representation.”

Hanson said all eyes will be on the redistricting effort.

“With this news, the stakes of the 2022 midterm elections in Oregon just got even higher,” she said. “Now that we know how many Congressional districts Oregon will have for the next redistricting cycle, we’re paying especially close attention to how the district lines will be drawn.”

On Monday, the Oregon Senate passed Senate Bill 580, which will codify class size and caseload as subject matter under consideration when entering into collective bargaining.

“Even before the pandemic, we leaned on Oregon’s teachers to provide much more than education to our students. They provide support, guidance and stability to Oregon’s kids. And, it’s extremely difficult to do that when too many students

are packed into their classrooms,” said Senator Michael Dembrow, chair of the Senate Committee on Education.

Prior to 1995, class size was a mandatory subject of collective bargaining, Senate Democrats approved Senate Bill 580 to restore the class size subject as mandatory in order to ensure that districts fully consider the workload Oregon’s teachers experience.

The bill does not mandate a specific class size.
