Walkout ends

Senate Republican’s compromise, go back to work

BEN

Oregon Senate leaders on Thursday, June 15, reached a deal that brought a handful of Republicans back to the floor, ending the longest walkout in state history and clearing the way for the Legislature to pass a budget and start

working through hundreds of backlogged bills.

The deal reached Thursday included watering down Democratic measures intended to guarantee abortion access and prevent gun violence, as well as considering a Republican proposal that would allow the Legislature to impeach statewide elected officials. Democrats also agreed to rework a sweeping

Romance of the Silver Screen

Redwood Theater – 114 years old - from Pine Cone to Café

ELLIOT SCHWARZ Country Media. Inc.

Before the town of Brookings was formed in 1913 The Pine Cone Theater brought entertainment to the small population in 1909.

The theater has been in continual operation since, later renamed the Redwood Theater. It is where Brookings Mayor Ron Hedenskog took his wife Rose, then Rose Bonde, for their first date, Christmas of 1966.

Hedenskog was home from college in Colorado, Rose was working for Curry Communications with Ron’s sister who thought the two would be a good match. It turned out they were, still together today.

Scott Larson, the new owner and the theater have proven to be a good match as well.

Now known as the Redwood Theater and Café two first-run movies are shown on two screens using the very latest digital projectors. The café, open from noon to 9 p.m. Wednesday – Sunday offers a wide menu of traditional movie theater fare along with beer, wine, pastries from the Honeybee Bakery, and sandwiches from Railroad Market & Deli.

There is a small dining room in the theater, and outdoor seating in the adjacent, newly opened Pocket Park.

Pet and livestock safety

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

June is National Pet

Preparedness month designed to encourage pet and livestock owners to review their emergency plans for the animals.

Keep your pets and livestock prepared for emergencies by taking these steps:

Create and practice your emergency plan for pets and livestock.

Take inventory of and replace expired emergency supplies such as pet food, medications, and water.

Stay informed of local hazards and emergencies. Take appropriate steps to keep your animals safe and be prepared to evacuate them with your household.

Plan for Pets

Take animals with you if you need to evacuate. Only as a last resort should animals be left behind.

Create a plan with neighbors, friends or relatives to evacuate your pet if you are not able to Animals may run away or hide during an emergency. If your area is in a level one or higher evacuation warning, put your pet’s collar or harness on and keep them in a secure room. Doing this will allow you to

grab them quickly. Many emergency shelters cannot accept animals. Before disaster strikes, find out which hotels/shelters allow animals or which friends outside of the area will be able to help.

Be sure ID tags are on collars and consider a microchip.

Keep your dog’s license (legally required) and cat’s license (recommended) updated. This helps animal get reunited with their families faster.

Keep your pets’ vaccinations and ID tags up to date. Keep a copy of these documents in your family’s Go Bag. Prepare a pet emergency kit with leashes, collars, portable carriers, water, food, medications, sanitation materials, immunization records, firstaid kit, and photos to prove ownership.

Don’t leave pets in vehicles, tethered, or crated without you.

If you have to leave your animals at home, keep them inside a secure area. Leave at least a 10-day supply of dry food and water. Put signs on windows and doors indicating the number and type of animals inside and your contact information.

Be aware that your pet’s behavior may change after a crisis. They may become

Timed entry and parking reservations for the Holiday Lights event at Shore Acres

State Park are now available online.

The Coos Bay area event runs Nov. 23-Dec. 31, and parking time slots are available for 4:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. daily. A reservation is needed for a vehicle to park at the event and includes entry for everyone inside the car.

“The new entry system launched last year with the support of the Friends of Shore Acres,” Sunset Bay Management Unit Park Manager Lee Ricci said. “Visitor feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and we’ve worked with the Friends to continue the

system this year. Visitors said they appreciated the quick entry into the parking area without waiting in long lines on the road. Plus, the system improved safety for everyone traveling on the Cape Arago Highway, and smoothed out the process overall.”

The Friends of Shore Acres sponsors the annual Holiday Lights, which has delighted visitors since 1987, according to a release from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). The event was paused 2020-2021 for visitor safety during the pandemic and resumed in 2022.

The $5 fee for parking and timed entry is the same amount as the normal parking permit price for the park. The fee may be waived if the person making the reservation has one of the following and selects the option during the reservation process:

12- or 24-Month parking permit.

Special access pass for either the veterans with service-connected disabilities or foster, guardian and adoptive foster parents of Oregon foster children.

Current Oregon State Park camping confirmation that coincides with the date of the event visit.

An Oregon Pacific Coast Passport. Reservations also can be made by calling 800-4525687. Visitors do not have the option to purchase a parking permit onsite.

At entry into the light show, visitors must present a screen shot of the ticket via their smartphone or the printed ticket, as well as the selected pass, permit, or campground confirmation. Park staff asks that visitors have everything ready to show to keep traffic moving.

Although visitors can reserve their timed entry parking spot now, additional time slots will be available later this fall during a sevenday rolling window. Visitors can make reservations on Nov. 16 for visits on Nov. 23, and so on. The rolling window continues through the end of the event Dec. 31.

“We realize that it’s early for many families to make November and December plans and we want people to have an opportunity for spur-of-the-moment visits,” Ricci said. “We’re holding half the parking sites for that rolling seven-day window to ensure visitors can reserve closer to the event.”

Keeping the promise of wilderness

SUBMITTED BY WILDERNESS LAND TRUST

Almost 60 years ago

The Wilderness Act set forward the strongest set of protections for our public lands with a vision of maintaining our wildest places for future generations. But today, across the West, there are still more than 180,000 acres of privately owned property within federally designated wilderness areas known as inholdings, ranging from a few acres to thousands of acres.

Each one represents a hole in the fabric of wilderness protection — a threat to the wild character and ecological integrity of the lands surrounding them. Each one carries the possibility of development and resource extraction in the heart of some of the grandest landscapes in the American West.

The Wilderness Land Trust has transferred a 60acre property in the heart of southwest Oregon’s Kalmiopsis Wilderness to public ownership, adding it to the designated wilderness areas.

In 2018 the Trust purchased the last remaining private inholding in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. The property sits on the Little Chetco River, and up until the Trust’s purchase of it, was an active dredge mining operation. Most recently it was run as a destination for recreational gold mining trips, complete with cabins and dredging equipment, flown in by helicopter, to house a steady stream of visitors as they tried their hand at gold mining.

The impact of this kind of development reaches beyond property lines though, with sediment washing downstream in Coho Salmon spawning grounds, and wildlife pushed out of historic migration routes, according to a release from the Trust, which said acquiring the property was only the first step in protecting it. The Trust then undertook restoring the property to

its wilderness character, no small feat in this remote and rugged location. With the property successfully restored, we recently transferred it to public ownership, completing the wilderness area 54 years after it was first established.

In the organization’s 31-year history, The Wilderness Land Trust has worked to keep the promise of wilderness by acquiring these private in holdings from willing landowners and transferring them to federal ownership to become designated wilderness. In this time we have purchased and transferred 540 properties totaling over 55,500 acres from Arizona to Alaska.

Along the way, we’ve completed 17 wilderness areas by removing their last remaining private in holdings. With each transfer, we come one step closer to completing the vision of the Wilderness Act. Each project we work on carries the story of a place that has inspired countless people and communities, a family that has chosen to give up what is theirs to protect its future, and a vibrant, and often breathtaking, landscape supporting rich biodiversity.

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY

Thank you

We would like to express our thanks to Brookings Harbor Education Foundation for continuing to support our student’s educational enrichment opportunities here in Brookings.

This is the second year BHEF has invested in students attending an educational preview lecture and play at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. This year students learned about the background and vision for Romeo and Juliet before attending the production of that play. This was a great capstone opportunity this year for juniors and seniors since most read the play as freshman!

IN THE GARDEN

We strongly believe that students should not have to pay for their tickets, and BHEF makes that possible by covering over half of the ticket costs, without their support we could not make the trip happen.

In addition, this trip allowed the students to tour Southern Oregon University helping them conceptualize their future transition and goals beyond BHHS.

The students very much appreciate this opportunity, each year they are excited to attend the play and the other activities that we are adding to the one-day excursion.

With gratitude,

Is it too late to plant corn?

No, it is not too late to plant either a first crop or second crop of corn. It would be prudent to grow a variety that takes less time to mature. One that I have found does well here is Sugar Buns , a 70-day corn. With warm soils and nice daytime temperatures, it will germinate quickly, and you will be eating corn before you know it.

“June drop” of fruit

Fruit pollination weather was fairly good this past spring although your particular location can be different than other parts of the county. Fruit set on apples and pears appears strong. However, we have had several calls about cherry and plum trees that dropped their fruit. This can happen all at once, usually when the weather warms. Fruit drop is due to poor pollination. Either the weather was too cold and/or wet to get the bees moving were too cold to get moving or there weren’t enough of them.

The fruit flowers were either not pollinated or

incompletely pollinated. For stone fruits like cherries, the fruit appears normal and then drops. But if you cut into the pit, there is no seed. And that growing seed is what tells the tree to keep pumping nutrition into the developing fruit. Without the signal, the plant sheds the fruit. With apples, you may see misshapen fruit. Cut horizontally through the center and you will see one or two of the cavities with no seed.

Can you plant a lawn now?

The grass species that do best in Oregon are not adapted to germinate at air temperatures of 85+degrees. They germinate best between 55-65 degrees but will generally be all right up to 80 degrees.

Is it worth it to seed a lawn now? Probably not. Soil temperatures have warmed just enough to make the seed happy. But watering is a challenge as daytime temperatures rise. Newly seeded areas need to be more or less constantly moist but not sodden. This requires deft watering with your sprinklers. You have to move them at constantly changing intervals to

match the changes in the temperatures and wind. Too much water and the seeds rot. Too little and the seeds fry. So the best advice for now is to wait until September to do your renovation. You might try over-seed bare spots now since you have less at risk and less sprouting area to manage.

Speaking of bare lawn spots

Bare spots show up when the weather gets hot. The most common causes of bare spots are mole tunnels, roots eaten by the larvae of the European crane fly, an excessively drained spot in under a part of your lawn (possibly a rock or a septic pipe or sand-filled trench), or root diseases that reduced the turf’s capacity to take up water. All these sub-surface conditions can be hard to fix.

Trying to grow lawns on St. Helens basalt is always challenging. The deeper the soil over the rock, the better results you will have. But you are not going to move the rock. This problem is only found in the St. Helens area.

Mole tunnels in clay soils can stay intact for years until they finally collapse on their own. Rototilling

the lawn and re-grading it (and posting “no mole” signs) will allow you to seed a new lawn next fall.

Crane fly larva feeding is not consistent from year-toyear. Ironically, the females prefer to lay their eggs in the lushest lawn they can find in September/October. There are some treatments for crane flies but most years they aren’t needed. If you let your lawn dry out and go completely dormant in the summer, you will never have crane flies. If you do have crane fly larvae, skunks, starling, and raccoons often consume the bulk of them.

Root diseases are also unpredictable with some grass species resistant to a particular disease and susceptible to another. That is why we often plant grass species mixtures. In the end, you can take the bare spot and clip off enough of the dead grass, so you get put new seed directly on the soil. You can cover the seed with a thin coating of fine peat moss. Then water as described above – not too wet and not too dry and, with a little luck, you will fill those spaces with new turf.

Calculate your working families kicker

OREGON CENTER FOR

PUBLIC POLICY

Pilot Guest Column

As working families across Oregon struggle with rising costs and meager wages, Oregon is on course to send massive tax rebates to the richest Oregonians.

A $5.5 billion “kicker” rebate appears to be on its way. The rich will get huge rebates, while lowand moderate-income Oregonians will receive little or nothing. It doesn’t have to be this way. A better kicker is possible.

The Working Families Kicker would send every Oregon tax filer an equal amount, resulting in most Oregonians getting bigger tax rebates, helping families make ends meet. The

calculator below gives you a sense of the difference.

To interpret the results of the calculator, consider someone who has an Adjusted Gross Income of $500,000 per year, more than about 97 percent of all Oregonians. Under current law, they’d get a kicker worth more than $17,000. With the Working Families Kicker, they’d get the same amount as everyone else — about $2,450.

Methodology

This analysis is based on 2020 tax year data and does not have all of the tax information needed to calculate your exact kicker. Instead, it uses average tax information and effective tax rates for similar filers to estimate a kicker amount.

The Working Families Kicker value is set at the average (mean) kicker for all taxpayers last estimated by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis for the upcoming kicker.

The current kicker was estimated based on the most recent estimate from the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis of $5,537,500,000.

This analysis does not factor in changes in the distribution of incomes between the 2020 tax year and the tax year the kicker will be distributed based on. This analysis also does not incorporate tax paid to other states in the kicker estimate.

For the calculation of the percent of Oregon tax filers who make less than you, we calculated the share of filers with adjusted gross income

below the income bin you fit into. For example, if you made $120,000, you fit into the $100,000 - $250,000 income bin from the Oregon Department of Revenue and 79 percent of filers make less than $100,000.

Capitol mall rally calls for additional state funding

STAFF REPORT

Country Media, Inc.

Oregon parents, child care providers, advocates and concerned legislators rallied on the lawn of the Capitol Mall in Salem Monday, June 12, to call on the state legislature to increase funding for child care.

The recently passed 202325 Department of Early Learning and Care (DELC) budget includes funding levels that will cause at least 1,000 families to lose high-quality affordable child care accessed through the Employment Related Day Care program.

“With Oregon sitting on nearly $2 billion in unexpected revenue, how can the State justify cutting even a nickel from the funding our families, our children, and our economy needs,” Family Forward Oregon Se nior

Political Director Courtney Veronneau said. “Cuts of this magnitude will make it extremely hard for parents to afford child care. We will not rest until child care and early learning investments are increased at the level our communities need.”

On the Capitol Mall lawn, parents, child care providers and advocates placed 1,000 pinwheels to represent the families that will lose access to child care without a budget increase.

Oregon’s Employment Related Day Care program provides working families financial assistance to cover the cost of child care that parents need in order to go to work or go to school.

Advocates warned that without increased funding, families will be stripped of their subsidies, making it immensely harder — if not impossible — to afford

child care.

The funding cuts come following the State’s recent commitment to expand access to Employment Related Day Care and support more families which advocates call a cruel bait and switch.

“Children are our future. Our future teachers and child care providers, legislators and Governors, our future workforce. Investing in early learning and care opportunities is proven to help children develop the social, emotional, and academic skills they need for success in school and life,” Children’s Institute Director of Policy & Advocacy Dana Hepper said. “The only way to solve the problems that have plagued child care for decades is through sustained state investments in this system, not a reduction in that investment.”

At the Monday press conference, Oregon lawmakers called on the Legislature to increase funding by $100 million to support the Department of Early Learning and Care to fully implement important changes to the

Employment Related Day Care program and prevent kicking families off of the program. They also called for the following budget increases:

An added $7 million for the Early Childhood Equity Fund and $17.8 Relief Nurseries to serve 855 more families and compensate child care providers.

An added $5 million required for Healthy Families Oregon to protect the jobs of program staff and compensate child care providers.

An added $25 million for the Oregon Child Care Capacity Fun to support child care provider with starting new programs or expanding expanding their existing business.

“This session, we have the opportunity to make important investments in the future of our state, the children of Oregon,” Oregon Rep. Thuy Tran said. “By allocating additional funding to child care and early learning programs, we can and must ensure that more Oregon families and children have access to care that they need.”

MICHELLE KLAMPE Pilot Guest Article

American consumers use their understanding of gun rights when judging the morality of civilians’ use of guns to protect themselves from crime, and that assessment varies depending on specific scenarios, new research from Oregon State University shows. The study’s objective was to explore Americans’ understanding of the Second Amendment, the only constitutional right that explicitly entitles individuals to a consumer product, and how that understanding guides which gun-related behaviors are deemed morally acceptable. The authors also examined how recent court rulings and legal and market changes have expanded consumers’ rights to use guns for protection against crime.

Findings of the study indicate that individuals have very different ideas of what should and should not be allowed with guns, but their thinking is generally motivated by trying to do the right thing, such as ensuring the safety of their loved ones or others, said Michelle Barnhart, an associate professor in OSU’s College of Business

and one of the paper’s authors.

“We cannot just put people into categories of pro-gun or anti-gun,” she said. “People are very complex in the way they think about gun rights and armed protection in America. When people think about whether or not it is moral to use a gun for protection, they make judgements based on specific factors and characteristics of the situation.”

People will consider the place where the gun is being carried or used; the type of perceived threat; and the background and experience of the person carrying the gun, including whether they have a permit or have received training and whether they have a criminal history or history of mental illness, Barnhart said.

The findings, just published in the Journal of Consumer Research, offer new insights into Americans’ complex views of gun rights.

Coauthors on the paper are Aimee Huff, associate professor in the OSU College of Business, and Inara Scott, associate professor and associate dean for teaching and learning excellence in the College of Business.

Barnhart and Huff study American gun culture from a consumer perspective, while Scott is an attorney who specializes in constitutional law, business ethics and other topics. Through one-on-one interviews and a large, professionally moderated online discussion group, the researchers sought to better understand how consumers view their gun rights and why some consumers assume the legally and morally complex responsibility of owning and using guns for protection, while others leave that responsibility to the state Previous research has shown that the number of U.S. gun owners who keep guns for protection has risen over the last two decades, from 65% in 2000 to 88% in 2021. That shift has occurred while crime statistics indicate rates of violent crime, including assault and robbery, declined by 79% between 1993 and 2021. Strategic messaging can shape how people understand large-scale problems and their own capacity to address those problems. The researchers found that in recent decades, messaging

Coast Guard responds to 2 capsized vessels in 1 week

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

The Coast Guard rescued two people from their boat after it capsized Wednesday night, June 7, off the coast of Nesika Beach along the Southern Oregon Coast.

Watchstanders at Coast Guard Columbia River received notification around 7:30 p.m. from the wife of the captain of a 26-foot commercial fishing vessel stating that her husband had not made it back to the marina at the time he said.

The watchstanders dispatched a rescue boatcrew from Station Chetco River aboard a 47foot Motor Lifeboat and an aircrew aboard a MH-65

Dolphin helicopter from Air Station North Bend. They also conferred with the local police department who confirmed the operator’s truck and trailer were still at the boat ramp. The wife had also told to the Coast Guard that a friend had called the vessel operator at approximately 3 p.m., which was the last time someone had contact with anyone on the vessel. Utilizing cell phone forensics, watchstanders were able to narrow down a viable search area. Just after 11 p.m., the aircrew located the vessel with the men sitting on the overturned hull. They were not wearing life jackets, according to a release

from the Coast Guard. The helicopter crew then directed the boat crew to the scene.

The motor lifeboat arrived at the capsized vessel at 11:30 p.m. and safely recovered both individuals. They were showing signs of hypothermia and were provided blankets and water. The men were brought to Station Chetco River and arrived at 2 a.m. They were seen and released by awaiting EMS responders.

The men spent nearly eight hours sitting on top of the hull of the vessel.

“This case highlights the importance of creating a ‘float plan,’ or simply just telling a friend or family

member who is staying back where you are going and when to expect you back,” said Lt. Michael Jeffko, Command Duty Officer for Sector Columbia River.

Second incident

The Coast Guard rescued one person found stranded on a channel marker and recovered an unresponsive person from the water after a vessel capsized Sunday, June 11, on the Columbia River near Astoria. The identity of the capsized vessels victims and what caused the vessels to capsized had not been released by the Coast Guard at press time.

Marine deputies boat training

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

Marine Law Enforcement officers from around Oregon are back home following an annual drift boating skills training on the Rogue River.

The annual training included swimming in whitewater, studying hydrodynamics, practicing rescue techniques, navigating up to Class III whitewater, and operating in remote environments using drift boats, rafts, and catarafts.

“Navigating whitewater is a perishable skill and it requires constant training and practice so law enforcement can respond to emergencies quickly and confidently,” Oregon

State Marine Board Law Enforcement Training Coordinator Eddie Persichetti said. “Each day the students drift different sections of the Rogue River. As the week progresses,

The key component to the training is the attention on reading white water, according to training officers

instructors build on the skills from the day before and then move on to more advanced skills with more difficult rapids throughout the week.”

According to Persichetti, the key component to the training is the attention on reading white water.

“It’s incredibly important to see the whole run ahead vs. the next ten feet in front of the boat,” he said.

they return to their local waterways for patrol, according to Persichetti. “The goal is to develop the skillsets and confidence in officers because safety of everyone recreating on the water is our top priority,” Persichetti said. “Oregon’s waterways are becoming more crowded. For those recreating on Oregon’s waterways, a simple task such as wearing a life jacket can mean the difference between a tragedy and going home that day. Please be safe, vigilant and wear it!”

He leaves behind sons Rich and Kim Weaver of Brookings, OR; Todd Weaver of Tillamook, OR; Ramy and Pebbles Weaver and two girls Mia and Sierra of Brookings, OR; Marty

“This year, rivers statewide are exceptionally swift, high, and cold. Students will first learn self-rescue techniques in the water and then dewatering drills, all while improving their drift boat skills throughout the course.”

The training and experience the officers gain during drift boat school provides a strong foundation for when

Thursday read new, easierto-read descriptions of each bill before voting on each measure, another concession to Republicans who initially said they walked out over the Legislature violating an obscure state law that requires bill summaries to be written at an eighthgrade reading level.

“I’m encouraged that we were able to come to an agreement that will allow us to finish the important work Oregonians sent us here to accomplish. We have achieved major bipartisan victories already this session, and I expect that to continue now that we have returned to the floor,” Senate President Rob Wagner, D-Lake Oswego, said in a statement announcing the deal. “I am grateful for all the senators who listened to each other and sought an end to this walkout while protecting Oregon priorities and values.”

Other details of the deal weren’t immediately clear Thursday as five Republicans joined Democratic colleagues on the Senate floor.

“A quorum is present,” Wagner announced from the dais for the first time since May 3.

Senate Minority Leader

Tim Knopp, R-Bend, described Republicans’ presence as a show of good faith, saying he wanted to finish the session “in an extraordinary bipartisan way.”

“For our part, we are here for the quorum today in good faith to work through this calendar so thank you, Mr. President,” Knopp said after the roll call. What came next illustrated just how long it has been since the Senate came to work. A Senate employee speed-read the titles of more than 120 bills sent by the House over the past month before the chamber moved onto voting on bills.

Both parties claim victory

Senate Republicans, joined by Sen. Brian Boquist, I-Dallas, have boycotted floor sessions to voice objections for evolving reasons. They first cited the readability law. They also tried to kill different proposals, including House Bill 2002 on abortion access and gender-affirming care. Republican senators have focused on a provision that would allow minors of any age to obtain abortions without parental notification.

Committee on Thursday approved an amendment to House Bill 2002 that would require health care providers to tell parents or guardians about abortions for patients younger than 15 unless the provider determines that involving a parent could result in abuse or neglect, or if a second health care provider with a different facility agrees that it wouldn’t be in the child’s best interest to involve a parent.

and that really is what helped make this go,” he said. “And I know that was very painful for them. Essentially what happened is everybody got some of what they wanted, nd everybody got some of what they didn’t want. And we both sides are completely unsatisfied

I’m encouraged that we were able to come to an agreement that will allow us to finish the important work Oregonians sent us here to accomplish. We have achieved major bipartisan victories already this session, and I expect that to continue now that we have returned to the floor,

Senate President Rob Wagner

Wagner said in a statement that the Legislature will also establish a workgroup to study policy solutions for gun violence and deposit $10 million in the Community Violence Prevention Program.

Senate Majority Leader Kate Lieber, D-Beaverton, said the path forward required bipartisanship.

“We as Democrats, we showed up, we made some compromises and this is the path we’ve chosen,” Lieber told reporters.

Senate Democrats claimed victory for keeping intact a key aim of House Bill 2002, which preserves abortion rights after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

And most Republicans still stayed away from the Capitol on Thursday. Knopp said some had travel issues and will make their way back to the building in the coming days.

“But also some of them have some very deeply held beliefs and concerns still and are trying to work through those,” he said. “Our motto in the Republican caucus is ‘Vote your district; vote your conscience.’”

The amendment also would delete provisions of the bill establishing grants for reproductive and abortion care at college campuses and rural areas.

Knopp told reporters that he thought Democrats gave up more than Republicans in the final deal, but both sides were unsatisfied with the agreement.

“I think the Democrat majority yielded a lot,

usually are at an agreement. So that’s the way this is has worked. And we just say that we were wholly unsatisfied before the talks and you know now I think both sides are in the same situation

The Rules Committee also amended House Bill 2005 so it only would ban “ghost guns,” or untraceable homemade firearms. It no longer contains provisions to raise the age to buy most guns from 18 to 21 or to allow local governments to ban firearms on their property.

“If the Republicans had not returned this session, we faced the reality that no additional bills would have passed,” Sen. Kathleen Taylor, D-Southeast Portland, said in a statement to the Capital Chronicle. “They could have stayed away, blocking every single progressive priority: no reproductive health care rights, no gun control, and no rights for the transgender community.”

The capitol was abuzz earlier in the day, as Wagner scurried between his office and the majority office and twice delayed the start of the floor session. Walking past reporters on his way to announce the first delay, Wagner gave a grin and two thumbs up.

After the walkout persisted for a month, Senate Democrats started to impose $325-a-day fines for each senator without an excused absence. That did not deter senators from skipping floor sessions, though.

Neither did a constitutional amendment voters passed in November, that prevents legislators from serving a new term of office after they rack up at least 10 unexcused absences.

Boquist and nine Republican senators reached 10 absences, though it’s uncertain whether senators will actually face either consequence. Senators have indicated court challenges to that amendment are likely, and they also question if the state can collect the fines.

By 10:30 a.m., Knopp and Republican Sens. Dick Anderson, Bill Hansell, David Brock Smith, Daniel Bonham and Lynne Findley were cloistered in their caucus room on the third floor, with lobbyists gathered outside. Anderson and Brock Smith have attended every day and only one more Republican was needed to reach a quorum. All five showed up.

Questions remain

The Oregon Firearms Federation, a pro-gun organization, sent an alert earlier Thursday decrying Knopp for reaching a deal with Democrats on HB 2005.

“Once again, Republican ‘leadership’ has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory,” the group wrote. “Another disgrace for the people who got hired to protect our rights.”

Disease

Most legislative Democrats now support changing quorum rules to prevent future walkouts, though the future of that bill, and hundreds of others, depends on how quickly lawmakers complete their work before the June 25 deadline to end the session.

But Knopp left open the possibility that Republicans will walk out again in future sessions, as they have nearly every year since 2019.

“There have been, let’s just say high-ranking officials who have requested that we not walk out in the future, and we have not made that commitment,” Knopp said. “We want to make sure that the voices of our constituents are heard and respected and our values are respected in this process. And if that occurs, then there are not likely to be walkouts in the future.”

NA2 was first detected in Oregon forest trees in 2021. Before it was found near Port Orford, it had only been found in nursery stock in Oregon and not in the wild. This marks the third confirmation of sudden oak death to the north of the 515-square mile quarantined portion of Curry County since March 2021.

Following federal protocol, the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) tested and confirmed the samples from this new location. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection Quarantine (USDA-APHIS-PPQ) Lab in Maryland conducted a second round of confirmatory testing. Both laboratories confirmed the samples as positive for Phytophthora ramorum, the plant pathogen that causes the disease sudden oak death.

USDA-APHIS-PPQ must confirm new infestation sites before regulatory action may take place. Oregon regulations require state and private property officially confirmed as

SOD crews from the Oregon Department of Forestry and the USDA Forest Service have monitored areas for infested trees and plants and responded to new detections. Monitoring includes aerial detection surveys, ground-based surveys, and expert stream monitoring.

ODA maintains the Phytophthora ramorum quarantine. The quarantine allows any property in the state, where a SOD infestation has been confirmed (including a buffer zone of 3 miles surrounding), to be placed under quarantine (OAR 603-052-1230 (2)(d)). Thus, an emergency quarantine or an amendment to the existing quarantine does not need to be issued. Oregon’s SOD program will consult with stakeholders regarding any potential expansion of the quarantine boundaries.

IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. NOTICE is hereby given that PLACER FORECLOSURE, INC., as trustee, or successor trustee, or substituted trustee pursuant to the Deed of Trust executed by: KENNETH WITHERBY, A SINGLE MAN Recorded 07/27/2021 as Instrument No. 20213272 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of DEL NORTE County, California, and pursuant to the Notice of Default and Election to Sell thereunder recorded 2/27/2023 in Book , Page , as Instrument No. 20230526 of said Official Records, WILL SELL on 06/29/2023 At the stairs of the Southwest Entrance of the Flynn County Administration Building at 981 H St, Crescent City, CA 95531 at 11:00 AM AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH (payable at the time of sale in lawful money of the United States), all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State hereinafter described: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. The property address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 863 GLEEN STREET, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. Total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $151,147.93 In addition to cash, the trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and

authorized to do business in this state. In the event tender other than cash is accepted the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. Said sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the indebtedness secured by said Deed, advances thereunder, with interest as provided therein, and the unpaid principal balance of the Note secured by said Deed with interest thereon as provided in said Note, fees, charges and expenses of the trustee and the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. 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 916-939-0772 or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI-231834.

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: 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 PFI-231834 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, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, 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.

taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. The parcels listed herein meet one or more of the conditions listed above and thus, will become subject to the tax collector’s power to sell on July 1, 2023, at 12:01 am, by operation of law. The tax collector’s power to sell will arise unless the property is either redeemed or made subject to an installment plan of redemption initiated as provided by law prior to close of business on the last business day in June. The right to an installment plan terminates on the last business day in June, and after that date the entire balance due must be paid in full to prevent sale of the property at a tax sale. The right of redemption survives the property becoming subject to the power to sell, but it terminates at close of business on the last business day prior to the date of the tax sale by the tax collector.

Guns

Continued from Page 5 from pro-gun lobbying groups, politicians, some U.S. courts and others has presented protecting oneself, family and community from crime as an individual responsibility. Researchers call this shifting responsibility for addressing a social problem away from the state and to the individual “responsibilization,” Barnhart said.

“The unique thing about responsibilization with regard to guns is the shift over time in what is considered responsible behavior,” Barnhart said.

“With the encouragement of lobbying groups and other market factors,

behaviors such as carrying handguns in public for self-protection, which were once prohibited by law, are now considered by many to be something that responsible people do.”

Understanding why people believe armed protection is necessary and responsible is important, the researchers say, because widespread use of guns to protect against perceived criminals can have negative consequences.

“We see some of the negative consequences of armed self-protection in the recent spate of shootings of people who mistakenly knocked on the wrong door, entered the wrong driveway or got into the wrong car by gun

owners who ostensibly shot because they believed they were protecting themselves from criminal activity,” Barnhart said.

The researchers found that generally consumers view their rights under the Second Amendment as a bundle of rights, including the right to protect oneself and one’s family and the right to protect one’s property, but the makeup of that bundle can vary from person to person.

In addition, some view Second Amendment rights as secular, and others as sacred, or divinely granted. Consumers also differed in whether they perceived the rights as timeless or outdated and as absolute or conditional.

“Using these categories, you can begin to see where Americans fall on the spectrum of gun rights and the Second Amendment,” Huff said. “A lot of polling questions just ask whether people support the Second Amendment or not, but that does not capture the nuance that comes with people’s understanding of the Second Amendment.”

The researchers also examined how people’s perceptions of the Second Amendment have been influenced by adoption of new laws around gun carry and ownership and court decisions that affirm acceptable uses of firearms for self-defense, such as “stand your ground” laws.

“Our understanding

informs the law, but the law also informs our understanding,” Scott said.

“This paper really gets to deep questions about how we interact with each other in society, and how that is shaped by influences around us.”

The researchers also found that consumers’ understanding of the Second Amendment may not always be supported by current law, which can put them in legal jeopardy.

For example, some people in the study indicated that the Second Amendment gives them the right to use force to protect against property theft, but U.S. law generally does not recognize the right to use force in that scenario, Huff

said. “That speaks to the benefits of requiring some kind of training for gun owners; in states where training is required to carry a concealed handgun, gun owners gain understanding of the laws in their state, and perhaps an appreciation for differences in other states’ laws,” she said. “Training requirements could help to protect gun owners who want to abide by the laws in their state.”

Congratulations to Brookings HarBor HigH sCHool Class of 2023

Brookings celebrates the Class of 2023

ELLIOT SCHWARZ Country Media, Inc.

The stands at Elmer Bankus Field were packed with cheering family, friends, and faculty as 77 seniors of the 2023 class of Brookings/Harbor High School proceeded across the field during the annual graduation ceremony, Saturday, June 10.

Ten of the graduates were to receive Honors diplomas recognizing their achievements in a rigorous course of study in advanced placement, honors, or dualcredit core classes through partnerships with Southern Oregon University, Oregon Institute of technology, and Southwestern Oregon Community College.

This class is smaller than pre-pandemic classes of graduates which usually numbered about 100 students. Another 10 to 20 students in the senior class are expected to earn their degrees through summer and continuation classes.

Typically, at graduation, each senior receives a diploma.

According to the Oregon Department of Education, the Oregon Diploma is designed to prepare each student for success in all aspects of their life, including college and career, citizenship, and lifelong learning.

To earn a diploma, students need to

successfully complete the following:

Demonstrate proficiency in the Essential Skills

Complete personalized learning requirements

Earn credit requirements. Districts may have additional requirements beyond the state minimum requirements; check your school district’s website for details.

The purpose of a high school graduation ceremony is to celebrate students who have successfully met the academic and extracurricular requirements for graduation. The ceremony provides a public venue in which graduating students receive their diplomas, marking their official graduation from high school, according to Julia Estrela writing for the ehow website.

Graduating high school is a milestone that many students are proud of. It signifies their success in the educational system and the achievement of their goals, according to the website AplusTopper.

“The importance of graduation can be traced back to the early 19th century when an American educator named Horace Mann advocated for it. He believed that, by graduating high school, young adults would be able to achieve their goals and enter into adulthood successfully,” AplusTopper states.

The 2023 Brookings/Harbor High School graduation was held outside at the school’s athletic field. Speeches and presentations were conducted, music performed, and diplomas handed out to the seniors during the annual ceremony.
