Perfection: Brookings-Harbor wins state title Unbeaten Bruins rally past Yamhill-Carlton in title game KNOX KERANEN The Pilot

Perfect is a good word to describe the Brookings-Harbor baseball team’s season, after they beat Yamhill-Carlton 11-2 in the state title game on Saturday and finished the year 16-0.

While the final score may not represent a competitive game, the Bruins actually battled back after going down two runs in the early stages of the final.

The turning point came in the third inning with the Bruins down 1-0. With no outs, Yamhill-Carlton had loaded the bases and was threatening to break the game open.

That’s when Senior Adam Shew stepped onto the mound and began one of the best pitching performances of his high school career,

said head coach Keith Wallin. Shew helped the Bruins escape from the third while allowing just one more run. Afterward, a momentum shift reverberated through the stadium.

“You would have thought we won the game already, our guys were the most fired up I’d ever seen them, and we were down two to nothing,” said Walllin. “The script flipped, that team was rallying to score a bunch of runs and we were able to shut them down.”

Riding the momentum, the Bruins drove in six runs the next inning. From there on, the offense continued to produce, and Shew closed the remainder of the game without allowing any additional runs.

As COVID-19 wanes, Gladys Johnston is celebrating living through her second pandemic.

Born in Molalla, Oregon, during the middle of the 1918 Flu Pandemic, Johnston and her family will celebrate her 103rd birthday Saturday.

She credits her longevity to one

thing: “Stay active. It’s got something to do with it,” Johnston said Wednesday, looking over stacks of old photo albums during an interview. “I was never any one to

sit around.”

And if Johnston’s life story is any indication, she’s done just that.

Curry County is back in the low-risk category of COVID-19 restrictions.

According to the Oregon Health Authority’s Tuesday data, the county continues to see low rates of virus transmission in the community.

After Oregon Gov. Kate Brown announced new restriction levels for counties across the state Tuesday, Curry County is one of 18 in the lowest-level of restrictions.

A pop-up vaccination site near Brookings-Harbor High School came to a close last week after administering 366 shots over an eight-day period.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency partnered with the high school to set up their mobile vaccine clinic in the football stadium’s parking lot from May 14-21.

Just a day before the clinic opened, the state updated guidelines to allow anyone over age 12 to receive the Pfizer vaccine.

After hearing the news, local nonprofit the Brookings-Harbor Community Helpers decided to offer unique incentives for people choosing to get the shot, including food boxes with gift cards to be used at Dutch Bros, Amazon and Fred-Meyer, coupons to local restaurants and food boxes from Rogue Food Unites, among other prizes.

A vaccine clinic at the high school administered 366 first doses of the Pfizer vaccine over an eight day period. The mobile clinic will return in June to provide second doses.

The county is staring down a $2.5 million budget deficit this fiscal year due to major declines in outside revenues.

This year’s revenue shortfalls are primarily due to an expected $1 million payment in lieu of taxes from the federal government that never materialized, as well as a $2 million overestimate in road department revenue carryover, according to county Director of Operations Brad Rueckert. Payments in Lieu of Taxes are typically given to local governments with large amounts of federal land in order to compensate for lack of property taxes on those lands.

In trying to balance the budget, the board of commissioners and other members of the budget committee discussed areas where they can make cuts during a Thursday meeting, including slashing raises for some elected officials.

An independent group called the compensation board gathers data from comparable counties to make salary recommendations to the budget committee, which can then approve or forgo those recommendations, although the final decision is left to commissioners.

This year, the board recommended raises for seven elected positions, including the commissioners, sheriff, treasurer, assessor and county clerk, according to the report.

Despite the report, Commissioner Chris Paasch was not in favor of a raise for any elected officials.

“I think the last people who should be stepping up to ask for a raise are the elected officials,” said Paasch.

Committee member and former state house representative Wayne Kreiger said the commissioners should tread carefully when discussing raises for themselves.

“This is a really touchy situation that you’re dealing with...if we cut here in the budget… and then we up salaries, you know what that looks like to the public; looks terrible,” said Krieger.

Kreiger said they should be especially cautious if they plan to propose a tax increase in the near future.

A recent wage study increased pay for many county employees, excluding elected officials, meaning those officials are now making less More Budget, Page A2

Oregonians could win up to $1 million for getting vaccinated ZACK DEMARS The Pilot

Got your shot? You could be on track to win some cash.

Oregon officials announced Friday a plan to incentivize residents getting their COVID-19 vaccinations and ramp up the state’s lagging vaccination rate: Offer money for those who’ve gotten their shots.

“In this final push to reach every Oregonian with a vaccine, and to meet our goal of at least 70% of adults vaccinated so we can fully reopen our economy we will need to pull on every lever we have,” said Gov. Kate Brown in an unusually jovial press conference.

“So if you’ve been waiting to get a vaccine, or you just haven’t gotten around to it yet, we’re going to give you an extra incentive. How about a chance to win a million dollars?”

Under the plan announced Friday, the state will pick 42

Olivia Davis, member of BHCH, said many youth participants did not expect to receive prizes for getting the vaccine.

winners: One statewide winner will receive $1 million, one person in each county will receive $10,000 and five 12- to 17-year-olds will receive $100,000 Oregon College Savings Plan scholarships.

The Oregon Lottery and Oregon Health Authority will pick winners on June 28, according to the agencies.

“We can do this. I’m encouraging every eligible Oregonians to take your shot.

Go get vaccinated: it can save your life — and just maybe make you a millionaire,” Brown said.

Oregon’s move to incentivize vaccinations comes after states across the country have announced similar plans. New York, for example, announced it would give lottery scratch tickets to anyone getting a shot at certain sites, and Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced a plan to pick five $1 million winners.

According to OHA, any

“The science is clear: vaccines are very effective in keeping people safe from COVID-19, and they are the key to returning to normal life and lifting health and safety restrictions statewide,” Brown said. “This disease remains dangerous for those in communities with high rates of unvaccinated individuals.”

The new category in Curry County modifies the capacity limits on businesses in the county starting Friday. State regulations say: • Indoor dining is allowed up to 50% capacity. Outdoor dining limited to 300 people maximum. Midnight closing time indoors and outdoors.

• Indoor and outdoor

“This is a win-win: Get vaccinated now to protect yourself and others, and get the chance to fund your future through a scholarship that can be used for higher education and job training,” said State Treasurer Tobias Read.

State lottery and health officials brought in a Stanford University expert to help them design the drawing to convince Oregonians to get their shots. Ashby Monk studies decision-making processes and “gamifying” positive behaviors at the university.

“Incentives that can change your life, with big financial rewards, really do inspire large groups of people to take positive action,” Monk said, enthusiastically citing academic articles.

Monk said that research shows providing incentives for positive behavior with financial prizes can increase how often people do those behaviors. He said he hopes

St. Timothy’s Episcopal was logging vaccine data from the mobile clinic into the state’s ALERT Immunization System, which keeps track of immunization records for Oregonians.

With the guidelines changing so near to the start date, they were not able to advertise the event as well as they could have, Lind-

ley said. Nevertheless, they vaccinated 101 12 to 15 year olds, as well as 64 16 and 17 year olds.

Lindley said his church would resume singing during services, as most, if not all, of his members have been vaccinated – something they haven’t done in more than a year.

Right now, 49.8% of Curry County residents 16 and older have been vaccinated.

However, to reach the state’s goal of vaccinating 65% of the eligible population in each county, 3,000 more county residents would need to be vaccinated, according to the Oregon Health Authority’s website.

the state’s vaccine lottery program could increase vaccination rates in the state by 20 to 40%.

“If we can get 20 to 40% of the people in Oregon to choose to get vaccinated among the hesitant, or the population today not prioritizing getting the vaccine, I think we could save many lives. Many lives!” Monk said.

Friday’s announcement came amid a continued slow decline in the state’s COVID-19 case rate.

The latest surge of the virus statewide is waning, said OHA Director Patrick Allen.

The state’s average daily cases have declined over the past two weeks, and the state’s 7-day average in cases was 40% lower Friday than it was on May 1, Allen said.

“This turning point is likely due to multiple factors: extreme-risk protections pumped the brakes in counties with the highest infection levels, warmer weather

invited more people outside, most Oregonians continued to wear masks and limit the size and frequency of social gatherings and, most important, more Oregonians have been getting vaccinated every day,” Allen said Friday.

But while Allen projected Oregon is still on track to vaccinate 70% of adults by the end of June and lift many of the business capacity and vaccination verification restrictions currently in place, the state’s vaccination rate is also slowly declining.

Now, OHA is hoping the plan to hand out nearly $2 million in pandemic relief funds will help turn the tide.

“The objective here is to create a new incentive to do it, to do what’s in their own self-interest, and to push the community in Oregon into that target herd immunity level,” Monk said.

The state at one point had even considered calling the program “herd annuity,” according to the researcher

“Everybody that came in really appreciated their gift cards...something special for them for doing what they did,” said Davis. “We wanted to make them know that we appreciate them coming through and doing their part of keeping our county vaccinated.”

Right now, 49.8% of Curry County residents 16 and older have been vaccinated. However, to reach the state’s goal of vaccinating 65% of the eligible population in each county, 3,000 more county residents would need to be vaccinated, according to the Oregon Health Authority’s website.

Low Risk

Oregon resident who’s received their shot will have their name entered in the drawing — though anyone who’s been vaccinated through a federal site aren’t in the state’s database, and state officials will announce a plan to collect that information another way.

The agency also said anyone can opt out of the program, and that no personal information will get shared with the Oregon Lottery in the process.

Kids — who are now eligible to receive the vaccine at age 12 and older — can win big through the drawings too, with five scholarships up for grabs.

Winners of that drawing will receive $100,000 deposited in their name in the state’s 529 college savings plan. Those funds can be used at any institution which accepts federal financial aid, including universities, community colleges and trade schools.

recreation, fitness and entertainment establishments limited to 50% capacity with midnight closing time.

• Retail stores, indoor and outdoor shopping centers and malls, funeral homes, mortuaries and cemeteries limited to 75% capacity. Same guidelines recommended for faith institutions.

• Masks still required indoors for unvaccinated individuals, and for everyone on public transit, shelters, schools and other settings.

According to state data Tuesday, Curry County reported 14 cases in the previous two weeks — a slight uptick from the previous reporting period — and a test positivity rate of 3.2%.

But on the vaccination front, the county isn’t faring as well as many other parts of the state. Curry County is still far off the 65% vac-

cination target for further reopening: Just under half of the county’s eligible population has received a dose of the vaccine.

Meanwhile, the state is rapidly approaching its key vaccination target, with 64.3% of the state’s eligible population already vaccinated. Once that figure reaches 70%, the state will largely open up, doing away with the four-tier risk framework and most pandemic regulations.

Curry Health Network is continuing to offer vaccines weekly. More information and registration is available online at www.curryhealthnetwork.com/education.

Vaccines are available at other locations, too, including at: Rite Aid, Safeway and Albertsons stores, Fred Meyer, some Health Mart pharmacies, Bi-Mart and Walmart.

Killing wildlife to see who wins

By Ted Williams Would you like to earn money and prizes by killing coyotes, foxes, cougars, bobcats, wolves, raccoons, squirrels, crows, rattlesnakes, rabbits, prairie dogs, woodchucks or skunks?

If so, you can enter any of the thousands of wildlife-killing contests permitted and sometimes promoted by 44 state game and fish agencies. Such contests are legal in all Western states save California, Washington, Arizona and Colorado.

These events have names like “Song Dog Smackdown,” “Good Ol Boy’s Fall Predator Tournament” and “Predator Palooza.”

Names of competing teams are no less evocative. Placing high in a Lone Star Predator Calling Classic were “Beer Belly Varmint Hunters” and “Team Anthrax.”

Standard equipment includes reclining chairs, electronic predator calls, tripods and other gun rests, spotting scopes, spotlights, night-vision goggles, other thermal-imaging equipment and high-capacity assault rifles equipped with telescopic sights.

Prizes include cash - $50,000 if you win the West Texas Big Bobcat Contest - and such paraphernalia as camo clothing and AK-47s.

Many contests have children’s divisions. Sponsors include gun companies, sporting-goods stores, fire departments, 4-H clubs and chambers of commerce.

Body counts are impressive. One of the 717 teams in last year’s Big Bobcat Contest turned in 94 foxes.

Carcasses are piled, photographed and invariably discarded.

“Event coordinators are being hassled,” lament directors of a killing-contest support group called Coyote Contest. “Help us promote those who still understand and value the services that predator hunters provide!” Commentators on the group’s website explain these “services”: “Save a fawn; kill a coyote,” “Wanted dead or alive for the crimes of stealing fawns, turkeys, & livestock,” “Saving livestock one bullet at a time!”

It doesn’t work this way. Predators do kill game and livestock, but no game species in the United States is suppressed by predation, and overpopulated species like elk and deer lack the predators needed to maintain their health and that of native ecosystems.

Robert Crabtree, who did the seminal work on coyotes in central Washington and Yellowstone National Park, reports that to reduce a coyote population, at least 70 percent of the animals need to be eliminated - something he says “rarely, if ever, happens.”

He found that where coyotes aren’t persecuted, average litter size at birth is five or six, but because of competition for prey an average of one to two pups survive their first year. When coyotes are shot, trapped or poisoned, pup survival

increases because competition is reduced.

So coyote “control” results in more, not fewer, coyotes.

What’s more, Crabtree has found that indiscriminate killing of predators increases livestock loss.

Because coyote “control” (which, again, doesn’t approach 70 percent) reduces the number of adults able to feed young, packs tend to abandon their normal small-mammal diet mammal diet and turn instead to larger prey, like livestock.

Carter Niemeyer, a retired predator-control agent, tells the story of the rancher who phoned him after one aerial operation. “Carter,” declared the rancher, “do coyotes revenge kill? We haven’t had trouble with coyotes all winter. We saw your helicopter the other morning and heard lots of shooting. Now we’ve got coyotes killing sheep.

What the hell’s going on?”

Here’s the explanation: Random shooting of predators creates chaos by removing “desirables.” Other predators fill the void including “undesirables” that do kill livestock The public wearies of wildlife-killing contests. Three years ago they were legal in every state save California. Now they’re also banned in Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts and Maryland. New Mexico and Vermont have banned coyote-killing contests.

Competing to kill wildlife outrages the fair-chase hunting community. “We don’t like anything that smacks of commercialization with money or prizes,” remarks Eric Nuse, a hunter educator who serves on the boards of Orion - The Hunters’ Institute and the New England Chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. “Anything that doesn’t honor the animals grates on us.”

Wildlife-killing contests can erode “the public’s view of ethical hunting,” reports the Wildlife Society, comprised of 11,000 biologists and managers.

No trained wildlife professional believes that killing contests accomplish anything worthwhile.

This from the Pennsylvania Game Commission: “The agency (has) finally accepted the reality that predator control does not work.”

Yet the Commission still sanctions 27 major wildlife-killing contests.

Why do 44 state game and fish agencies continue to allow these contests? Money. Employees are fed and clothed largely by hunting-license revenue; and wildlife-killing contestants must buy hunting licenses even though they’re not “hunters.”

More accurately, people who compete to kill wildlife are described by their critics as “assassins.”

The U.S. and EU are taking on Belarus: Pot, Kettle, Black by

Thomas L. Knapp

On May 23, a fighter jet intercepted Ryanair Flight 4978 as it was about to exit Belarus’s airspace en route from Athens, Greece to Vilnius, Lithuania.

Citing a supposed bomb threat (apparently contrived by regime agents on board the plane), Belarus air traffic control ordered the Boeing 737 to turn around and land in Minsk.

On the ground, regime police entered the plane and abducted opposition journalist Roman Protasevich and his girlfriend, Sofia Sapega.

Belarus’s state media reports that the hijacking/abduction was carried out on the personal orders of President Alexander Lukashenko.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken (rightly) called the operation a “shocking act.”

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the EU Commission, tweeted (correctly) that it was “outrageous and illegal” and that Protasevich “must be released immediately.”

That’s hard to disagree with.

Unfortunately, neither the U.S.,

nor several EU regimes, have any business grandstanding on the matter.

They’ve pulled the same kind of stunt before, at least as recently as eight years ago.

In July 2013, Bolivian President Evo Morales’s plane left Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport en route back to La Paz. The Dassault Falcon 900 FAB001 was forced to land in Austria after being refused entry into French, Italian, Portuguese and Italian airspace.

Why? Because while in Russia, Morales had indicated (in an interview with Russian state media) his willingness to offer asylum to American whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The U.S. government, in the words of Jen Psaki (currently White House Press Secretary, but back then a State Department spokesperson) had “been in contact with a range of countries across the world who had any chance of having Mr. Snowden land or even transit through their countries.”

Austrian authorities claim they

searched the plane for Snowden.

Bolivian authorities say that Morales refused to allow a search. But either way there’s little doubt that several EU regimes, at the request (implicit or explicit) of the U.S. regime, colluded to force a plane and not just any old regular plane, but a diplomatically protected plane - to land in an effort to help abduct a political refugee.

No, I’m not defending Lukashenko. He’s not very defensible. I hope that he can be pressured into freeing Protasevich and Sapega alive and unharmed.

But if the “leaders of the free world” didn’t act exactly like Lukashenko whenever it suits them or serves their interests, they’d be in a much better position to mobilize global action to achieve that outcome.

This was our first major fundraiser since 2019 and has enabled us to continue to fund our charitable programs.

Sales were very brisk, especially the first day, and plants seemed to literally fly off the tables. So many people including both locals and tourists seemed to be so happy to be out and about, enjoying the beautiful southern Oregon Coast and getting a bonanza of plants or, maybe, just that one special one.

We so appreciate the following for their support: volunteer workers: Catherine Kadlubowski, Russ Talbert, Jo Rieber and Cynthia Kovind and the many community donors: Nancy Stokes, Cherryl Miles, Craig Will who is starting up a new nursery down at Arizona Beach and others who remain anonymous. The businesses include: Valley Flora, 101 Plants and Things, B & B Farm Supply, Dragonfly Farm and Nursery, Stillwater Natives Nursery, Old Soul Studios, Raincoast Arts, Copper Goose, Wild Woods Gypsy Farm Stand and Gift Shop, Nicki’s Knick Knacks, and Wild Coast Pottery.

In closing, a few quotes that illustrate what a love of gardening means to people especially at this time: “There are no happier folks than plant lovers and none more generous than those who garden.” — Ernest Wilson “ “Gardening is cheaper than therapy – and you get tomatoes” anonymous “To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.” — Audrey Hepburn Deanna McDermott Secretary Langlois Lions club

Is this billable?

Recently on the advice of a friend, a Zoom meeting was arranged with a local estate attorney; purpose - initial consultation to hire or not to as a trustee.

This initial consultation was

comprised of an exchange of basic information from the client and attorney. This attorney indicated he was available, succeeding my retiring Virginia estate attorney.

Subsequent to this consultation, I received an invoice for the client-attorney half-hour meeting.

Neither party brought up the issue of this initial consultation as a billable event. No warning, advice, initial information was provided by the attorney. No billing nor rate agreement was signed, nor does the attorney have a website indicating billing rates. Concerning a verbal contract, consummation of the contract was not completed/received by the client concerning compensation.

I have since contacted both Oregon State Bar and the ABA (American Bar Association). While both agencies indicate the lack of understanding provided by the estate attorney, nothing supports unethical behavior. Comments received from other attorneys are all quoted as saying that such billing behavior was unethical, unprofessional, poor client-attorney judgement, and lastly from my Virginia attorney, “insane”.

I want any Curry County individual anticipating contacting an attorney for advice, initial or continuing legal representation, to raise the issue: “is this a billable event?”

And avoid unnecessary expense due to poor attorney communication and judgement on the issue of invoicing.

Honoring veterans?

I am bedridden with an untreated left fractured tibia for the 11th day after a motor vehicle accident which was my fault. On May 13, I left an urgent message about my injuries with the VA Roseburg operator/call center to forward to my VA Brookings clinic. VA-BR did not call me for over five days (including a weekend) to let me know they were ‘trying’ to get my records from where I was initially treated in the ER at Mad River Community Hospital in Arcata, California.

The doctor there did x-rays, ice, a referral to an orthopedic surgeon

and pain pills, which I am using very sparingly so I don’t have complications with them in the future.

VA-BR should have requested my medical records from them on May 13 after my urgent phone call and should not have waited five days to call me and start the process for my treatment.

I called VA-RO Community Care, which makes referrals for veterans to non-VA medical entities, early on May 17 to start the referral process, and they had not even been notified by VA-BR of my injuries.

I had to call VA-RO CC two days later to find out a referral had just been made. It took nine days for this to occur, as I remained untreated for my fractured tibia.

I also have a cracked rib, so with every breath I take, and every hop I make on my walker to heat a can of soup for my breakfast, since I live alone, I am in a lot more pain.

Thanks to Tracy with the Senior Center Nutrition Program which delivers me weekday nutritious meals to my front door. And I am so thankful for a dear neighbor and friend who assists me when she can, takes care of my kitty, goes shopping for me and brings me take-out meals.

Every time I drive by the Point Of Honor, I am so proud of all of the entities and community members who participated in its creation to honor veterans and all military personnel.

So I have to ask, “Who Honors Veterans?”

Imagine Imagine a science fiction story where the government crawls in bed with China to make a virus to scare its citizens underground, to control them, to make them afraid to go out or come in contact with one another to make rules as to where they may go and how and with whom, to cull great swaths of the population and to make the rest endlessly dependent on pharmaceuticals. Not so science fiction. Wish it were.

ful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself.

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

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA07000100-20-1. 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 Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case CA07000100-20-1 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.

OHA and DEQ finalize 2021 Oregon beach monitoring list The Oregon Beach Monitoring Program is proposing a list of beaches to be monitored for bacteria during the 2021 season.

The proposed list the OBMP, based at the Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division, is publishing includes some of the most frequently visited beaches in Oregon.

It also includes beaches where the program has found bacteria present, or beaches for which local partners and the public have requested monitoring due to potential pollution concerns.

The beaches that will be monitored during 2021 include: • SEASIDE BEACH – Seaside, Oregon – Clatsop County • CANNON BEACH – Cannon Beach, Oregon – Clatsop County

• TOLOVANA SP BEACH – Cannon Beach, Oregon – Clatsop County • SHORT SAND SP BEACH – Arch Cape, Oregon – Tillamook County • ROCKAWAY BEACH – Rockaway, Oregon – Tillamook County • TWINS ROCKS BEACH – Twin Rocks, Oregon – Tillamook County • NESKOWIN SP BEACH – Neskowin, Oregon – Tillamook County • D RIVER SP BEACH – Lincoln City, Oregon – Lincoln County • BEVERLY BEACH – Newport, Oregon – Lincoln County • AGATE SP BEACH – Newport, Oregon – Lincoln County • NYE BEACH – Newport, Oregon – Lincoln County • SEAL ROCK SP BEACH – Seal Rock, Ore-

Beach

advisories are only issued for beaches that are actively being monitored within this sampling window. Other beaches will be investigated for inclusion in the upcoming and or next beach monitoring season.

OBMP works with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality to determine beaches that need monitoring based on several established criteria. These criteria include: pollution hazards present; previous beach monitoring data that identify water quality concerns; type and amount of beach use; and public input.

As part of an adaptive sampling plan, beaches and sampling locations are routinely re-evaluated to ensure available resources best protect public health.

A copy of DEQ’s beach evaluation is available upon request.

Sudden Oak Death a growing concern in Curry County KNOX KERANEN The Pilot

The Oregon Department of Forestry is taking an aggressive tact with an invasive plant pathogen known as Sudden Oak Death, as it continues to spread in forests throughout Oregon and Northern California.

Most recently, the ODF cleared 21 acres of tanoaks out of the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, about 10 miles inland from Gold Beach near Myrtle Tree Trail, after discovering a patch of five infected trees. Charles Greel, Sudden Oak Death forester with the ODF, said new infections found outside of the quarantine areas, such as this one, are especially worrisome.

“We could lose Tanoaks out of the entire forest, which would be devastating,” said Greel.

The SOD disease is caused by an invasive plant pathogen known as Phytophtophora ramorum, which belongs to a larger family of water molds called phytophthora.

P. ramorum spores are spread high up in the canopy of a forest. Once a tree is infected, it will eventually develop blank cankers or lines, in the trunk, branches or leaves.

Sudden Oak Death is a bit of a misnomer though, Greel said, as it affects as many as 120 other species of plants and trees, and it’s not as sudden as we once thought.

“Before they knew what was causing the disease, they

would notice tanoaks. One day you notice a healthy tree, and then a couple of weeks or months later, it would be completely dead,” said Greel.

However, the disease can be present in the canopy up to two years before a tree shows signs of death.

Although most other plant species can fight off a P. ramorum infection, the Tanoak cannot, and usually dies as a result. Greel stressed the importance of the tree.

“Tanoak is a large component of the forest here, and it’s one of the heavier acorn producers, which animals browse on. The acorns are also culturally significant to the tribes in the region,” said Greel.

Technicians use a couple of different techniques to identify a possible infection.

One of them is called streambaiting, which involves placing a small amount of rhododendron leaves in a bag and securing the bag in a stream near a suspected infection. If there are infected trees present nearby, spores will fall into the stream and infect the leaves in the bag.

Human contact is the main driver of the spread of SOD through the movement of plants and trees from an infected area. Spores can also be spread by roaming wildlife.

Another infestation of suspected SOD was discovered in some tanoaks last month along Highway 101 near Port Orford, according to a May 18 press release from

Photos by Knox Keranen/The Pilot

Tanoaks are waiting to be burned after they were cut down in an attempt to limit the impact of Sudden Oak Death. The tree pathogen has been found in Curry County and Northern California. Below, a sign warns people to be on the lookout for trees infected with Sudden Oak Death. the ODF. This infection also comes outside the current 515 square mile quarantine area.

There are three strains of P. ramorum known to this region: NA1, NA2 and EU1.

The site near Myrtle Tree Trail was confirmed to be EU1, which is a more resilient strain and could be more transmissible, according to Greel. The site near Port Orford is awaiting secondary testing to identify a strain.

Treatment of the Port Orford site will begin shortly.

Strain found near Port Orford has not been seen before in Oregon Tests on tanoaks trees found dying of sudden oak death near Port Orford show the particular variant they are infected with has not been seen before in the wild. For more than a decade the NA2 variant of sudden oak death has popped up from California to British Columbia as well as Oregon, but so far only in nursery stock.

“The site near Port Orford appears to be the first on the West Coast where the variant has been identified in samples collected from wild trees,” according to Niklaus Grunwald, PhD, with USDA Agricultural Research. He collaborated with Jared LeBoldus, PhD, at Oregon State University’s Forest Pathology Lab in Corvallis to do the DNA testing which identified the variant in samples from the Port Orford tanoak trees.

A different strain of sudden oak death – the NA1 variant – has been killing tanoaks in Oregon since the disease was first discovered in Oregon in 2001. A European strain – the EU1 variant

– was first found in Oregon in 2015. It turned up in wild tanoak trees this spring at a site in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest, just across the Rogue River from the current sudden oak death quarantine boundary. Trees at that site have since been cut and piled ready for burning.

Treatment at the site where the NA2 variant was found is expected to take place in June. All tanoaks within a set distance of trees known to be infected will be cut and piled for burning, with the goal of eradicating sudden oak death from that location. That site is along Highway 101, about 21 miles northwest of the existing quarantine zone and a mile from Port Orford.

SOD crews from Oregon Department of Forestry and the USDA Forest Service are continuing to heavily monitor both areas for the presence of trees and plants infested with Phytophthora ramorum, a water mold that causes sudden oak death.

Both areas will also be monitored by aerial disease survey

experts, with helicopter flights over northern Curry County planned.

It is not known how the NA2 variant escaped into the wild. Although this is the first report of the NA2 variant being found on trees in nature, Oregon has been vigilant about monitoring and testing and is actively trying to slow the spread of sudden oak death, which 20 years after discovery is still confined to Curry County. By contrast, sudden oak death is now reported in forests in every coastal California county from the Oregon border to Monterey.

Background The invasive non-native pathogen that causes the sudden oak death in tanoak was first detected in Oregon in 2001.

Grant fund launches to help Oregon small businesses cover costs On May 26, Business Oregon opened the final portion of a program to provide grants for small businesses to help with commercial rent and operational costs in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Oregon Legislative Emergency Board allocated approximately $100 million for the program to help small businesses impacted by the pandemic and the restrictions it necessitated. Following two rounds of distribution of Commercial Rent Relief assistance grants, approximately $28 million remains to be distributed in this final round through the Operational Cost Assistance Grant.

The Operational Cost Assistance Grant is designed for businesses with 100 or fewer employees in industries that were particularly affected by the pandemic, including those that: 1. offer the consumption of food and or drink on premise; 2. provide specified indoor physical exercise, recreational or family entertainment; OR 3. provide specified personal services.

Restaurants, bars, gyms, brewpubs, theaters, bowling centers and salons are some of the more common examples of eligible businesses. Full details of the program, including eligible industries, is available on Business Oregon’s website and in application materials.

Applicants must have faced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Oregon.

Applications for the Operational Cost Assistance Grant will be accepted through June 6.

The application process is NOT first-come, first-served.

Awards will be selected after a random lottery process

of all complete and eligible applications received.

Applicants are encouraged to take time with the application form to make sure all information is correct. Missing or incorrect information, particularly simple contact information such as email and phone numbers delays processing significantly.

Businesses that previously received assistance grants through the State of Oregon Commercial Rent Relief Program for the same location are eligible to receive this new grant, as long as the award amount through the Commercial Rent Relief Program was less than $100,000.

Total combined awards from either program will not exceed $100,000 for a single applicant.

The first two rounds of the Commercial Rent Relief Grant has processed payments to help more than 2,400 small businesses throughout Oregon. There are still some applicants that have either not responded to follow-up communications from Business Oregon, or that provided incomplete or incorrect information. Applicants that have not heard from Business Oregon are encouraged to contact Business Oregon via email or phone at 833-604-0880.

This is the seventh COVID-specific program Business Oregon has implemented to help businesses navigate the impacts of the pandemic. One of those programs — the emergency small business grant — helped about 7,400 small businesses with $43 million in grants to help offset revenue impacts from COVID-19.

More program information and eligibility details are available on Business Oregon’s website, along with the application link beginning May 26.

Sunshine spotlights BHHS alum Zach Anderberg following the traditional West Point parade of cadets.

Anderberg graduates from West Point Zachary Anderberg, an alumni of Brookings-Harbor High School, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Saturday, May 22.

Anderberg earned a bachelor of science degree, with a dual major in Arabic and Persian. He presented his “capstone” project orally in Arabic, reviewing impacts Islam history in current Middle East issues. He is now fluent in seven languages (Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and English are the others) and has lived on four continents; he expects to add to both those numbers within the next year.

Language, Anderberg says, is a crucial way to understand other cultures, and relate to people in a respectful way.

His ultimate career goal is serving in the diplomatic corps of the U.S. government.

With graduation, Ander-

berg was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. He had served 3 1/2 years as an enlisted member of the Army - mostly in Europe - before winning a military appointment to West Point. Most of his West Point classmates came to the academy right out of high school.

Lt. Anderberg is scheduled for further training at the Army Intelligence Center, Ft. Huachuca, Arizona, over the summer, before taking up a post in the fall at the Military Intelligence Branch of Joint Base Lewis McChord near Tacoma, Wash.

A week before graduation, Anderberg told the Rotary Club of Brookings-Harbor that his path to West Point started in spring 2011, during his sophomore year at BHHS. He met a Rotary team from Italy in a BHHS language class, inspiring him to ask questions in the BHHS coun-

seling office about languages and international travel. That led to a club scholarship to the week-long Rotary Youth Leadership Academy, studying in Bolivia for his senior year as a Rotary Youth Exchange student, and earning a Rotary reference for his application to West Point.

“Rotary didn’t just change my life, it saved my life,” Anderberg told the club.

Before the Rotary connections, he was feeling lost and trapped by his circumstances.

As a result, Anderberg plans to join a local Rotary Club near JBLM when he arrives in the fall “so that I can start giving back.”

Anderberg also asked Rotary Club members Charles Kocher and Gerry Livingston Kocher to substitute for his family at graduation and commissioning events at West Point. “How could we say no?” said Charles Kocher.

Gladys Johnston, third from left in back row, met her husband Clarence, to her left, at the Melody Mountain Dance Hall between Molalla and Canby. Below, Clarence and Gladys Johnston, couple at front, were featured in The World of Coos Bay for their hunting trip to Pink Mountain, B.C.

Gladys Continued From Page A1

Oregon, Johnston finished just a year of high school Contributed photos before helping her father.

“I helped my dad in the field because I was the oldest,” Johnston said, referring to her two brothers, Harley and Eugene Mitts.

Harley Mitts, now 94 and Johnston’s only surviving brother, remembered fondly their years growing up on the farm and, later, Myrtle Creek.

Mitts and Johnston recalled a time when they spotted a fire on the roof of their home.

“I ran the pump outside to the well, and she carried buckets in the house, upstairs and out on the roof to put the fire out,” Mitts said.

Johnston’s active life continued after Myrtle Creek.

She’d often sing, dance and play guitar at dance halls and barn dances around the region. (She still yodels to this day.)

In fact, one of those dances — at the Melody Mountain Dance Hall — is where she met her future husband, Clarence. The two married when Gladys Johnston was 25 and moved from logging camp to logging camp.

“I was just a house wife,” Johnston said.

But by 1955 that would change.

“Logging was getting dangerous,” said Laurie Mitts, Johnston’s niece. “And he was a faller, and she kind of gave him an ultimatum — he needed to find something safer. And this is where the boat came in, where she could go along with him and be a part Sponsored by of it, that was important.”

The couple purchased the Oregon Mist, a 40-foot wooden fishing boat for $8,500 in Gardiner, accord541-412-0106 ing to Laurie Mitts.

Gladys Johnston kept log

books of the Oregon Mist’s travels as the Johnstons fished for salmon.

The couple was based in Charleston, and fished as far down as Eureka over the years. Their boat was a “roller” in heavy seas, Johnston remembered.

“We crossed quite a few bars, you know,” Johnston said. “At Bandon, we never stayed in there at night, because we were afraid we’d get in there and the bar would roughen and we couldn’t get out.”

The couple’s activity didn’t slow down when they resold the Oregon Mist in 1983. They were fond of traveling, making trips to Hawaii, Canada and, one time, a memorable trip to Michigan to pick up a new Chevrolet.

Hunting was one of the couple’s favorite activities.

Deer, elk, moose and caribou all found themselves on the other side of Johnston’s gun.

“A lot of hunting. I don’t know how many deer I got — I don’t have any idea,” Johnston said.

After 54 years of marriage, Clarence Johnston passed in 1997. Gladys Johnston lived in Coos Bay by herself for years after that, until last year, when she moved to a senior living community in Brookings.

“Right before COVID started, it was getting harder and harder to get out and visit and get to her. So that was the main reason why we moved her closer to us, so we could keep an eye on her and get through this whole thing together,” Laurie Mitts said.

She’s been busy in her new home, learning cribbage from other residents and playing them frequently.

That level of activity’s been central to her life.

“Stay active. That’s the main thing. Stay active,” she said.

Legislature passes Civics Education Act On Monday, the Oregon House voted to ensure that every Oregon high school student will receive one semester of civics education before they graduate.

The Oregon Department of Education provides standards for civics and government education. However, without designated and focused class time, that content is often relegated in disparate fashion to other social studies courses.

This bill will allow teachers to provide a robust, dedicated civics course that will ensure

all students receive a strong grounding in the established civic standards. The bipartisan bill was carried by chief sponsor Representative Paul Evans (D-Monmouth) and passed unanimously.

“Civics education is the necessary component for the security and sustainability of a Republic based upon democratic ideals and this landmark bill will give the next generation of Oregonians the knowledge and tools they need to lead,” said Representative Evans.
