The commissioners said that the county’s IT staff are working with computer experts to back

up and recover the affected systems with assistance from Microsoft techs.

“We are making good progress every day, but it is a long, complex process,” the commissioners said. “We must essentially rebuild our network from the ground up and implement multifactor authentication for all devices. A methodical approach with appropriate security measures is

key to recover from this incident and prevent future occurrences.”

Azalea Festival brings community together

A flag presentation, marching bands, and colorful floats were part of the Azalea Festival Parade. See more photos on Page 12.

ELLIOT SCHWARZ Country Media, Inc. The 84th Brookings Azalea festival inaugurated the summer season Memorial Day weekend.

The four-day extravaganza, with the theme “Our Heros,” began at the Brooking City Hall flagpole with a ceremony honoring our service men and women, followed by a dance party at Azalea Park hosted by The Brookings Harbor chamber of Commerce.

Saturday opened with the “Catch A Whopper” Trout for Tykes pools set up by South Coast Fishermen. Then, the premier event, the Azalea Festival Parade enlivened Chetco Avenue from Oak Street to Easy Street with more than 6o participants, marching bands, police and fire departments from Brookings and neighboring towns tossing candy to crowds

lining the full route, two and three rows deep for long stretches.

Following the procession of local heroes was Grand Marshall Diane Rettke, who has been spearheading the festival for the past 13 years. Since 1988 Diane has lived in and been of service to Brookings. Always actively serving the community as a volunteer at Nature’s Coastal Holiday, and First Baptist Church AWANA and youth groups.

When Brookings City Manager Janelle Howard called her as being tapped for Grand Marshall, Diane said she “was shocked, it was awesome.”

After the parade, events moved to Azalea Park where the winning floats were honored, along

with Azalea Queen Marissa Scott and her Princess Court, following rocking performances by local bands The Chetco Effect and Disturbin’ The Peace. They had crowds dancing on the lawn in front of the park amphitheater. As did, later in the day, Taken By The Sky, a six-piece Fleetwood Mac tribute band from Portland.

INDEX

After 14 years of planning city officials, dignitaries and community members are celebraing the opening of the Pocket Park in Chetco Town Center.

Located between the Redwood Theater and the building containing the Compass Rose Cafe, Misty Mountain Brewing and the Black Trumpet Bistro at 623 Chetco Avenue, the park offers diners and pedestrians an outdoor, open-air elevated space with vibrant wall murals, picnic tables, umbrellas, and flower boxes.

The idea for the park was envisioned in 2009

by Anthony Baron, owner

of Baron Designs located at then in one of the buildings adjoining the park. He is currently the Brookings Public Works and Development Director.

Downtown Brookings was quite different then.

What is now the park was a bare lot, and the area had far fewer opportunities for visitors to browse shops or dine, and very little night life.

Baron’s goal was to create a space that would help regenerate activity in the core of downtown. To that end the park will soon offer free movies projected from the Redwood Theater onto the northern wall of the park, and other events, on a stage soon to be constructed, with window

service from the theater’s cafe sandwiches, pizza pastries, espresso, beer, and wine. The park will also be available to the public for event rental.

Baron teamed up with Bret Kemp, BK Construction. They worked closely with the city of Brookings to fund the project through the Urban Renewal Agency. The agency provided $160,000 for construction.

The city holds a longterm, no-cost lease to the park, and has an option to purchase it for the thenappraised value if it chooses to.

The city conducted a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new Pocket Park Friday, May 26.

SHERIFF’S TIPS OF THE WEEK

Summer crime prevention tips

LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE Summer brings warmer weather, longer days, outdoor activities and, unfortunately, an increase in theft and burglaries.

You can exercise renewed diligence to reduce or eliminate the frequency of these crimes.

• Keep vehicles locked with the windows up at all times, even when parked at home. Remove all valuables including purses, cell phones, laptop computers, gym bags, briefcases etc.

• Av o i d Home Improvement scams.

Beware of anyone offering to perform an unscheduled home repair or asking to gain entry into your home.

Ask for identification, contact the company they say they work for to verify employment and ask for authorization for them to be at your property. Never agree to pay for home improvement services until the work has been completed. Don’t sign home improvement contracts without reading the entire contract carefully and discussing anything that isn’t clear with the company and trusted family

members.

• Keep doors closed and locked. This includes garages, sheds and patio doors. Burglaries from open garages, sheds and residences are more prevalent in summer months and often occur while the homeowner is outside in the backyard.

• Unattended bicycles should always be locked to something sturdy.

Remember when you stop to rest, eat or use restroom facilities, to take a few moments to secure your bicycle.

• Vacation plans? Have a trusted neighbor or friend pick up your mail. Set inside lights on a timer.

Set your home alarm. Use a home security camera so you can check in while you are away. Have a neighbor keep an eye on your house and make sure to leave a contact phone number for them to reach you in case of an emergency.

Taking some simple steps now and throughout the summer months can reduce the risk of crime in your neighborhood.

Attack Continued from Page 1 emergency services “Do not hesitate to call for help when it is needed,” the commissioners said.

“We have had an emergency operation center (EOC) in place since May 4 with emergency staff working directly with county leaders.

The structure is similar to what we see during a major wildfire incident.

In fact, most of the people currently staffing the EOC are from the Oregon Department of Forestry.

Dozens of other personnel from other county, state and federal agencies have been involved. We are incredibly fortunate to have expert help as we work through this incident.”

All Curry County offices remain open for business, although the commissioners said there are some functions that county employees cannot perform until the computers are restored.

“The local real estate community has seen a specific impact because the county is not able to file titles and other documents,” the commissioners said.

“We know it is frustrating to experience delays in the services we normally provide. If you have any questions, please contact us by phone or in person.”

The state and federal investigation into the attack continues, but the commissioners said cyberattack investigations are complex and timeconsuming.

“We are not the only organization to be targeted for a ransomware attack like this and the information gleaned from this investigation will help inform other investigations, and vice versa,” the commissioners said. “Specific details about how the ransomware was introduced to our system and any demands for payment are not available for release at this stage in the investigation.”

The commissioners acknowledged concerns about the security of county information, such as tax records and other data.

“There is still a lot we are learning about the impact of this incident, the commissioners said. “We will provide information when we know more. In the meantime, experts suggest using a credit monitoring or similar application to watch for fraudulent activity.

While incidents of this type move slowly, we are committed to keeping you informed.

Commissioner Brad Alcorn has provided live video updates via Facebook.

A link to the latest video is available on the Curry County Government Facebook page. The county will also post service outage updates on the Curry County website, at www. co.curry.or.us/.

“Our leaders and staff thank everyone for their patience and support,” the commissioners said. “We are a resilient community, and we will come out of this

Curry County Commissioners better and stronger. Please join us in thanking all the people who are working behind the scenes to help our community.”

New developments The commissioners released the following additional statement just before press time.

IT recovery efforts are ongoing, and the County has seen a significant increase in network stability.

All forms of communications are currently in the process of being restored. Because some services are still being handled manually, we urge citizens who need to access County services to do so in person so that we are able to provide the best service.

During the preliminary recovery phase, dedicated IT professionals discovered a method allowing encrypted ransomware data to be transferred from the County servers. As a result, IT is preparing to reinstall applications on those servers and return them to working order. Additionally, discussions regarding software and server support licensing agreements are in

their final stages.

With a special emphasis on the County’s mandated services (including the County Clerk, District Attorney and Sheriff’s Office), we have begun to distribute devices back to the hands of County employees and are hard at work restoring the full functionality of our email system. As part of our effort to maintain a strong and secure system once restoration is complete, an alternative antivirus solution has been implemented on County technology systems.

Due to the severity and impact of the ransomware attack on the County and its effect on Curry County citizens, the Board of Commissioners has committed all remaining unallocated ARP funds towards addressing this cyber catastrophe.

The goal of this effort is to bring essential services back to working order, and rebuild our technological infrastructure better than before, with a focus on security and efficiency for all.

Our emergency operations center is still active and continues to coordinate with numerous mutual aid resources from other Oregon counties as well as national disaster non-profit volunteers.

For any questions, please contact 541-247-3296.

City manager update

New details are emerging concerning the next steps in appointing a new Brookings City Manager.

Brookings City Attorney Lori Cooper, at the request of city council, presented city manager Janell Howard with a voluntary termination agreement following the May 22 council meeting.

The deadline for Howard’s acceptance or rejection of the agreement was May 31. At press time there was no answer as to Howard’s decision. Cooper has advised the council not to speak publicly about the matter.

If Howard rejects the agreement, the city council will be forced to take another voter on terminating Howard’s contract, leaving the city with no manager,

or allowing her to fulfill the balance of her current contract.

Mayor Ron Hedenskog said that, at present the city has “no plan” regarding a replacement for a new city manager hire, although there are options of reaching out to previous managers who have worked for Brookings pro tempore in the past.

The city could also reach out to the League of Oregon Cities for a possible temporary hire or place a current staff member in the position temporarily, while a search is conducted for a new city manager.

After session ends, senators will face a new battle — in the courts BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article

The GOP-led Senate walkout is the first round of a fight that likely will continue in court when the session concludes by June 25.

The political futures of senators who have racked up 10 or more unexcused absences is on the line: They’re disqualified from serving another term of office under a constitutional amendment approved in November.

But the senators – 10 are now barred from serving another term of office – hope to overturn the amendment.

“There will be legal action,” Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp, R-Bend, said in an interview with the Capital Chronicle. “I don’t think anybody can predict what the courts will do.”

Separately, a Republican Oregon senator is considering a federal lawsuit over Senate President Rob Wagner’s denial of his requests for excused absences for a religious observance and to help his wife care for their disabled daughter.

A spokesman for Wagner, D-Lake Oswego, declined to comment on the prospect of lawsuits.

A legal challenge would require a judge to weigh in on the amendment – Measure 113 – and how it should be applied. It was intended to prevent a walkout from shutting down legislative activity because of a lack of a quorum, as is happening now.

Republican senators believe they have grounds to challenge Measure 113.

Sen. Daniel Bonham of The Dalles has said it’s

unconstitutional based on the First Amendment, which protects free speech in the U.S. Constitution, and provisions in the Oregon constitution. Others say they could sue based on a linguistic interpretation.

The amendment bars legislators with at least 10 unexcused absences from serving another term “for the term following the election after the member’s current term is completed.”

“The actual language would lead one to believe that then it would be the election after the term expires,” Knopp said.

Terms of office don’t end until the January after a November election.

Under K n o p p ’s interpretation, senators would be able to serve the next term, but potentially could be barred from the one after that. The amendment says nothing about being barred from running for re-election.

Knopp noted lawyers have different interpretations of the language, as reported in a Willamette Week article. But Knopp said the meaning is clear. “It’s a fascinating argument for the court, and we’ll see what they come up with,” Knopp said.

Differing opinions Steve Kanter, emeritus dean and a constitutional law professor at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, said the constitutional measure was poorly drafted and that Knopp’s legal argument is one of several that could sway a judge. For example, a senator who is reelected after 10 or more unexcused absences could have grounds to argue that voters get to pick who they want and therefore, Measure 113

is unconstitutional, he said.

Measure 113 doesn’t bar someone from running for election, and it’s unclear at this point how it would be enforced.

“If I were representing the Republicans if they got barred, I would feel like I had pretty strong arguments,” Kanter said.

“I’m not saying I would win, but I would have no trouble making credible, good arguments. If people really take it to the mat, there will be some pretty serious court decisions and delay and uncertainty.”

But Kelly Simon, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon, the ACLU, said a legal challenge would end with a decision that reaffirmed the “crystal clear” intent of voters when they passed Measure 113. ”The ACLU of Oregon continues to be disappointed in Republican legislators’ efforts to undermine democracy,” Simon said in a statement.

“Their latest legal theory on why they should not face accountability for refusing to work continues to reveal their utter disregard for Oregonians’ voices. Even if a court entertained the notion that the Oregon constitution’s wording could be read to have a second meaning as Republicans now posit, that would only invite the court to resolve any ambiguity based on what the voters intended.”

A separate challenge Sen. Cedric Hayden, R-Fall Creek, is considering a separate lawsuit based in part on religious grounds.

Records show that he’s often been excused for religious reasons when legislative activity takes place on a Saturday, as it did

earlier this month. Besides helping his wife, Wagner also would not excuse him for federal inspections of his heavy equipment used for contracted wildland firefighting, which includes an airplane that spots smoke.

He recently asked the Oregon Government Ethics Commission for advice on how to legally solicit funds to cover attorney costs without violating ethics laws. He has pending complaints filed with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries and with the Senate about the denials.

“I seek to file a federal lawsuit against the Oregon Legislature,” Hayden wrote in the request.

In an interview, Hayden said he hasn’t filed a lawsuit and would still like to see the issue resolved without one, such as through the Senate complaint process.

Hayden said he is facing discrimination because of his religious beliefs and alleges Wagner acted in a retaliatory manner without taking into account his Seventh-day Adventist faith, which holds services on Saturdays, or family’s medical needs.

“I want that addressed for myself and for anybody else that has kids they need to take care of,” Hayden said. “I want that defined and addressed in this session.”

The ethics commission told Hayden he could raise money, provided the donations follow existing limits of $50 per person annually.

The Republican walkout has shut down the Senate for foour weeks, preventing votes on dozens of bills.

VOICES IN THE COMMUNITY I’ll pass Sue Gold is running for a seat on the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative Board of Directors.

According to signs, her campaign slogan is “Time for a Change.” A change from what? A change from reliable electricity? A change from being an integral part of our community? I’ll pass.

Her commitment to public service is admirable. Some will disagree but she didn’t distinguish herself as a Curry County Commissioner. Curry County voters agreed and she was turned out. Just two years removed, the county and the work of the commissioners seems to be none the better for her service.

I’m not ready to rock the boat.

Geoff Morneau Brookings

A no brainer Maybe this is too little too late, our votes for the Southern District 1 and 2 at-large Brooking/Harbor areas Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative are cast for Incumbent Cheryl McMahan and not for candidate Sue Gold.

While at Curry County Board of Commissioners, Gold‘s college and high school mathematics teaching credentials (BS and masters degrees) did not evoke in her any motivation to actually look at the financial statements of Southwestern Oregon Community College District. As Commissioner, her duties included being the County’s liaison to the College District. If Gold had taken the time to look at the District’s financial statements, maybe she would have paid attention to the rip-off that continues to this day.

Curry County citizens pay over $2 million in taxes to the College District. While the budget for Curry Campus is peanuts at only $850,000. The District has been taking well over $1 million each year out of our Curry County’s citizens’ pockets to build Coos Campus and a business plan that works against Curry County and Curry Campus— handicapping our community and economic development while also stealing our workforce in the process. Gold did nothing to address this on behalf of Curry’s taxpayers when we read the financial statements and disclosed this publicly.

She continued to do nothing and remains a “bench warmer.”

The incumbent Cheryl McMahan, on the other hand, has shown a steady hand, and made good decisions during her tenure serving the citizens in behalf of CoosCurry Electric Cooperative. McMahan’s leadership skills, current institutional knowledge, credentials as a cooperative director, and deep and wide experience in the electric utility industry, McMahan has our votes.

This decision is a no brainer. McMahan is the right choice.

McMahan is prepared to roll. Gold is willing to roll over, again.

VIEWPOINT

It’s unpredictable but in the end is right ABBY HOPE Pilot Guest Column

Nearly half a million people in the U.S. suffer from Lyme Disease. This is more than HIV/AIDS, the West Nile Virus, and Malaria combined. Lyme is one of the fastest growing vector born disease Yet Lyme research funding receives less than 2.2% of public funding.

On top of this, first line Lyme diagnostic testing miss 60% of early-stage Lyme disease cases. And that is where my story comes in. It’s a story of the Oregon cost, of track and field, and of what happens when Lyme isn’t caught early and becomes chronic.

In my head the question “Was it worth it?” often comes up.

I think at some point in life we look back and wonder if the way we’ve spent time was worth it.

These pictures are what highlighted my high school years. The years where I met some of the most amazing people.

When I started pole vaulting it became my whole world. I spent high school focused on it and was set to do the same in college.

Then an infection caused by a tiny little bug that lives in nature and is so small it’s often never seen (a tick) -that infection took me down.

Hi I’m Abbey (Schreiber) and I have Chronic Lyme disease. I live in chronic pain and my nervous system is damaged by this infection.

Before that happened though I was a pole vaulter on the Oregon Coast and part of what was known as “The Far West League,” a track and field powerhouse.

When I was diagnosed with Lyme disease my family and I were confused.

We had never seen a tick on me, and I had never developed a bulls eye rash, which is a tell tall sign of it.

We didn’t even know you could get Lyme on the West Coast (spoiler alert Lyme is present in all 50 states).

What we did know at that point was that I had competed nearly half a year with my health failing.

But as an athlete I just kept trying to push through and ignore symptoms.

This is why athletes in particular are at risk to have health conditions go undiagnosed for longer.

It’s easy to always find an excuse for symptoms. We think we are just tired, or not strong enough, or we are afraid of complaining or embarrassed if we can’t keep up with others.

My senior season I was standing on podiums with the other Far West League pole vaulters, looking like

I was in peak physical condition. While the reality was my health was crumbling.

When I finally admitted that I wasn’t feeling okey I desperately wanted answers as I headed off to college.

And I did get answers.

But not ones that lead to better health. I’ve spent the last 5 1/2 years fighting this disease and I still haven’t won.

When a large chunk of time is stolen from you, you tend to reflect on the time you spent in the past and the time you want to use in the future.

When I think back on the years I spent before I got sick, they are packed full of vaulting. Here’s what I can say about the pole vault and track and field experience. And how I view it differently so many years later.

There were times when I was vaulting that it felt like I was on top of the world.

And those moments stick with you.

But what I’ve noticed more and more as time passes is that it’s often the small and random moments that really end up leaving an imprint on your mind.

Those moments you didn’t even realize you were making memories.

Many of us have a tendency to be very serious about sports and while it’s good to have focus and dedication, you have to remember you are doing sports to have fun too. And months and years of your life are passing and when you look back on them you are going to want to know you made some memories not just heights.

The next thing I can say about vault is that the vault family is amazing. One thing that often struck me was how you would show up at a vault pit and it was like a portal to a different dimension.

Coaches and athletes were smiling and laughing.

It didn’t matter what school you were from someone was always there to help you. You would be chatting with your competition like old friends because you really were. I don’t remember where most of my own team was at meets because I was with “Team Vault” where your jersey rarely mattered. It wasn’t just vault people either, any person who stepped into that world was on your team.

This is just one example of how again we weren’t just doing an event, we were building a family.

When I was diagnosed with Lyme, I was a few weeks into my first college year of pole vaulting at Eastern Oregon University.

I was always tired, my stomach hurt, I struggled to

breathe when running, and my hips hurt so much from vaulting I had burn marks on me from falling asleep on my heating pad.

By the end of the term, I had to stop, move home, and get treatment for Lyme.

The fact that I was even diagnosed within a year of becoming Ill makes me one of the lucky ones. The doctors ran four Lyme tests on me. Three of them specialty labs done by private labs focused on tick borne illness. For reference IgenX labs, Armin labs, and DNA connections are what was done on me, and are generally considered to be accurate.

Lyme disease is known as “the great imitator” as it can frequently mimic conditions such as Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and more.

You may have heard of some celebrities who have come out in the past few years such as Yolanda Hadid, Avril Lavigne, and Justin Bieber, who have all battled Lyme and seen its impact on one’s life.

When I faced this crossroad of not being able to mix pole vaulting and Lyme disease together anymore, I was so worried about disappointing my college coaches and I was scared to be stopping something that had shaped my life and given me so many friends. I worried I would lose those friendships or lose who I was.

I didn’t need to worry though because nearly every wonderful track person, athlete, coach, anyone I had become friends with over those years, college coaches included - they are all still in my life now.

I was absolutely blown away that these people who loved and cared about track and vault so much- they cared even more about the lives of the athletes they met, than whether they cleared bars.

Remember that when you look around you at your next local track meet this spring.

For Lyme patients getting diagnosed is just the first step. The next is finding what is called “A Lyme Literate Physician” to treat you, especially in cases of chronic Lyme. And that’s a bigger challenge than you may think. But let’s go back to talking about the challenges pole vault presents first.

I want to take a minute to talk about the physical demand of pole vaulting.

No matter how healthy you are, vaulting is a very taxing event to be doing.

Anyone who has watched the event could see that.

On the one hand, athletes are out there building up strength and cardio, you’re

stretching, and you’re doing so many healthy things for your body. On top of that you’re likely eating healthy and staying hydrated. So there’s a lot of great benefits to your health.

On the other hand, you are constantly pushing your body to the limit and as athletes we often push through things or ignore the body’s first warning signs of problems.

Not to mention athletes are often working outside where many infections and illness can breed. You can just as easily get a tick bite hanging around the vault pits as you can hiking in the forest. Not to mention I think every vaulter has vaulted on old vault pits that can be a breeding ground for fungus and bacteria.

Especially mold exposure.

I’ve often wondered at times if I helped or hindered my health by being a competitive pole vaulter.

Lyme disease is a funny bacteria. You can contract it from a tick bite and not know for years, as it can burry and hide itself in your body. We think I may have gotten it as young as 2 years old. What happens is that a stressful event for the body is often what brings the infection out of hiding and lowers your body’s immune defenses at the same time.

Years before Lyme disease was diagnosed I suffered from adrenal fatigue. The doctor told me I’d never be able to live a life and handle the same amount of stress as a healthy person. My body didn’t know how to properly respond to any stress, good or bad. I was highly encouraged to keep my stress at a minimum.

I tried to. But at the same time as an athlete, I did press my body harder than I probably should have.

Years later around the time I was finally being tested for Lyme another doctor told me that if I didn’t stop pushing so hard my adrenal function was going to be past the point of recovery.

You’ve heard of steroids, right? Hydrocortisone is a very common steroid.

It is also a synthetic form cortisol which is a hormone produced by the adrenals.

Cortisol is necessary for life. A healthy body will make all the cortisol you need and will release the right amounts into the body at the right times of day.

But your adrenals can only handle so much while continuing to produce the right amount of cortisol at the right times. This is really important for athletes especially as cortisol is vital for training and competing.

And everyone’s cortisol levels are different. This is partially why athletes’ See ILLNESS, Page 5

Framework to fuel action, improve literacy proficiency

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

The Oregon Department of Eduction (ODE) has released the final version of Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework.

The framework is a statewide resource to fuel action and improve student literacy proficiency.

The framework provides coherence, clarity, and common ground for highquality, comprehensive early literacy education statewide, according to the ODE. “This resource elevates critical elements of comprehensive literacy instruction including fostering students’ sense of belonging in school, instruction grounded in the science of reading, culturally responsive teaching, and a focus on serving all students, inclusive of multilingual students, students experiencing disabilities, and students with dyslexia,” the ODE states in a release.

Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework is informed by extensive literacy research, state literacy data, literacy frameworks in other states, consultation with literacy researchers, and conversations

Literacy Framework.

ODE is investing in the development of Oregon’s Early Literacy Framework as part of its commitment to addressing unfinished learning and supporting literacy education infrastructure for the long term.

“It is essential that every child in Oregon read and write with confidence and competence. Learning to read and write early is key to later learning in school and on the job,” ODE Director Colt Gill said. “The purpose of a statewide literacy framework is to build momentum and capacity for making literacy instruction stronger in every school in our state so that all kids leave elementary school reading and writing with grade-level proficiency in at least one language. This framework is the starting point for this work - passage of HB 3198 is essential to give schools the resources they need to see it through.”

Metro Creative Connection The framework provides coherence, clarity, and common ground for high-quality, comprehensive early literacy education statewide, according to the ODE. with practitioners and community partners. ODE included feedback from educators, literacy experts, and community members across Oregon, building from the preview draft released in March.

O r e g o n ’s Early Literacy Framework lays a foundation to improve reading and writing skills

in K-5 classrooms and is directly tied to Governor Kotek’s Early Literacy Success Initiative (HB 3198). HB 3198 is in the Joint Committee on Ways and Means.

“Oregon must make significant strides to improve the quality of literacy instruction and to ensure the experience of

belonging in classrooms,” Governor Tina Kotek said.

“This means ensuring that every student receives classroom instruction aligned to grade-level standards and thoughtfully informed by research and culturally responsive practices, and cultivating and strengthening community partnerships

and family engagement to meet students’ strengths and individual needs.”

If HB 3198 passes this session, it would provide additional resources to help Oregon schools improve literacy outcomes, building professional learning and core implementation planning steps from Oregon’s Early

time to recover and listen to your body.

I want to share one thing I wish I had done differently, and I hope others will learn from it.

Don’t take time for granted. As a high schooler I was sure I had all the time in the world in the present and the future. Imagine the defeat I felt when I saw that wasn’t true. Time isn’t guaranteed. Lyme taught me that.

So now you’ve read what

goes through my head when I wonder “was it worth it?”

It was a blast, no doubt about it, but was it worth it?

In the end it really comes down to the people and the friendships forged by track and field.

And when I consider that, it overrules any doubts.

So while I certainly wish I had paid more attention to my health, my answer is best summed up in the song, “Time of your Life” by Green Day, which says, “for

what it’s worth it was worth all the while - it’s something unpredictable but in the end is right, I hope you had the time of your life.”

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, and I wear green to spread awareness of the battle myself and so many others I’ve met face against Lyme disease. But I also am reminded that I’m not alone in this fight because I’ve got a group of track and field and pole vault family

that would never leave someone to fight alone.

And If your out there on the track this spring I want you to remember you have that same family too.

This article is dedicated duly to my fellow Chronic Lyme Warriors who I encourage to never give up and to always hope for a better tomorrow and to the track world and coaches and athletes who never give up on their family and continue to have hope for me even on

$557,709 for Sixes River and Elk River watersheds projects STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc. The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) has awarded a total of $557,709 to the Curry Watersheds Partnership (CWP) for riparian restoration in the Elk River watershed and habitat restoration design in the lower Sixes River.

Curry Wa t e r s h e d s Partnership ( w w w. currywatersheds. org) is a group of nonregulatory organizations working together to help local landowners and communities keep our shared lands and rivers healthy and sustainable.

The Curry Watersheds Partnership includes the Curry Soil and Water Conservation District, the South Coast and Lower Rogue Watershed Councils, and the Curry Watersheds Nonprofit.

The awards were two of 72 grants totaling $13,027,997 provided to local organizations statewide to support fish and wildlife habitat and water quality projects.

will develop design alternatives for channel restoration, floodplain restoration, and livestock management around Greene Creek, a tributary to the lower Sixes River. It is expected to begin June 1, 2023 and be completed by December 31, 2024.

Funding for these grants, awarded by the OWEB Board, comes from the Oregon Lottery and Federal Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery funds provided by the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration.

Background Since 1999, the Oregon Lottery has provided over $600 million to OWEB’s grant program that helps restore, maintain, and enhance Oregon’s watersheds. Combined, the Lottery has earned over $9 billion for watershed enhancements, public education, state parks, and economic development.

Courtesy from Curry Watershed Partnership The Elk River Riparian Restoration Project will replace invasive weeds such as gorse, with native trees and shrubs to restore native riparian forest from the head of the tide, upstream 4.22 miles on the Elk River mainstem.

Metro Creative Connection Key recommendations include increasing farmworker income and support lower cost alternative homeownership.

State report outlines Oregon farmworker challenges, solutions An Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) Agricultural Worker Housing Study substantiates that most of the state’s farmworkers earn very low wages, and many farmworker households are in poverty.

Due to low wages and a lack of affordable housing, Oregon’s farmworkers have few housing options and often live in poor and overcrowded conditions, according to the study.

“Farmworkers have long been an essential backbone to our state. Centering their humanity, dignity, and wellbeing, requires we continue advancing safe and healthy farmworker housing—as we do in service to all people of Oregon,” OHCS Director Andrea Bell said. “It’s important to acknowledge that migrant and seasonal agricultural workers and their families are the foundation of Oregon’s large agricultural sector. Lack of housing options leads to health disparities that leave generational impacts. This is not abstract. Seeing ourselves in one another requires that we take care of those that sustain our food system.”

There are more than 531,000 jobs connected to Oregon agriculture, food, and fiber, and agriculture contributes $42 billion to Oregon’s economy each year. As of 2017, there are an estimated 100,122 farmworkers in Oregon, doing the skilled and difficult work of growing, picking, and packing food, according to Bell.

The report is the

culmination of almost four years of work. In December 2017, the Data and Research Subcommittee of the Agricultural Workforce Housing Facilitation Team (AWHFT) recommended OHCS commission the in-depth study. The goal was to update statewide information on agriculture workforce housing to better understand the current needs and barriers to help inform future program decisions, funding opportunities, and policy decisions.

OHCS commissioned Stamberger Outreach Consulting to conduct the study in Hood River, Marion, Morrow, and Yamhill counties. The report focuses on how

to optimize the use of available resources, review current housing, as well as understanding what policies and funding options encourage employers to offer housing, and increase innovation in the provision of housing.

“A central goal of this study was to hear the experiences and recommendations of farmworkers and agricultural employers to ensure their voices were included in this process,” said Jamie Stamberger, author of the study and research director at Stamberger Outreach Consulting.

“We interviewed 80 farmworkers and nine agricultural employers,

as well agency experts.

Through these interviews and our analysis of available data, our team identified eight critical issues for farmworker housing. These issues must be addressed in order to meet the need for farmworker housing.”

Key recommendations of the study include the following: Increase farmworker incomes.

Provide direct rental assistance to farmworkers.

Increase the supply of housing that farmworkers can afford.

Develop programs to provide special clearance and/or requirements, or cosigners, for farmworkers to satisfy rental application and mortgage loan requirements.

Support lower-cost alternative homeownership models including community land trusts and housing cooperatives that provide ownership opportunities for farmworkers.

What to Expect in Oregon during this fire season RYAN HOOVER Country Media, Inc.

the fact that despite Oregon having a cooler Spring – with below-average temperatures and statewide snowpack levels reaching 189% of normal levels in April – there are still major concerns for this fire season. Bailey said that cooler weather can allow fine fuels to develop, increasing the chances of wildfires as forest fuels, such as grasses and trees dry out.

“There is no future without fire and smoke.

It’s part of our real world.

But the good news is we can exercise a little bit of control, regulation, and influence on how things are going to burn in the future.”

Those words from John Bailey, a professor at Oregon State University’s College Forestry. With fire season in Oregon typically beginning in mid-May, Oregon State University hosted a fire outlook forum May 22 designed to connect the media in touch with Oregon’s leading wildfire experts.

Panelists included Bailey, who studies the roles of forest management in accomplishing landowner objectives; Larry O’Neill, Oregon’s state climatologist and an associate professor in OSU’s college of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences; Erica Fleishman, Director of the Oregon Climate Change Research Institute and a professor in OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences; and Nick Siler, the assistant state climatologist and an assistant professor in OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.

The panelists stressed

Fuels development “These kind of fire seasons where we have a cooler-weathered spring really drives the fuel development, particularly fine fuels,” Bailey said.

“Later on, when things dry out, those fuels will cure. So, fuels will be more abundant and contiguous to each other. My reading of the fire warning forecast for this coming summer is that July and August are forecasted to be a little warmer than normal.

So that fuel and warmth towards the end of the fire season has most foresters worried at this point.”

State Climatologist Larry O’Neill said that despite the cooler weather and strong snowpack, “About 52% of the state is still in moderate or worse drought conditions according to

the U.S. drought monitor right now.” For O’Neill, the biggest concern for these drier areas is the soil moisture estimates, which are “historically dry” going into this fire season.

Nicolas Siler added belowaverage precipitation in the Northern parts of Oregon has contributed to the drought conditions.

The heavy snowpack and cooler temperatures are still predicted to have some impact on this fire season, though. O’Neill said both factors should push back the start of fire season by a few weeks.

“We had such a great snowpack and it’s still lingering in many of the SNOWTEL sites in the Southern Oregon Cascades.

It’s projected to melt down a little later than normal,” O’Neill said. “That’s basically a function of how much snow there was this year. That tends to push back the start of fire season a little bit. If that’s a silver lining to anything, there may be a few less weeks of above normal fire risk for the region, which would be great.”

El Niño impact One major difference this fire season is that we are entering an El Niño year.

During El Niño, trade winds

Metro Creative Connection Experts are forecasting a potentially dangerous wildfire season in Oregon. weaken, and warm water is pushed toward the U.S. west coast. The Northern U.S. is typically warmer and dryer than usual during El Niño years, but O’Neill said El Niño likely won’t have much of an effect on

Oregon’s fire season.

“My perception is that we’re still in neutral conditions. La Nina finally left us after three years, which is great, so now we’re kind of in this transition period [between] la Nina to warmer than normal [temperatures],” O’Neill said. “Those [warmer] conditions aren’t expected to fully develop until later this summer and into the fall and winter, which is pretty standard for these transition periods. Right now, we’re not expecting big impacts on out weather, especially earlier this summer. With that said, this summer is projected to be warmer than normal across the U.S. West.”

Those warmer temperatures have already begun to set in, too. Siler stated that the month of May “has run about 7 degrees above average in Western Oregon so far and with below-average precipitation.” These warmer temperatures may help explain the two heat waves Oregon has already experienced this Spring, and the likelihood of more heatwaves this summer.

“We are in a climate that is progressively warming,” Siler said. “Seasonal forecasts indicate that this summer will be warmer than normal – in part because El Nino but largely because we’re in a warmer climate. So, that alone suggests that heat waves are likely to be more common this summer than in typical summers.”

Warming temperatures, warming seas, dryer soil, and greater fuels will likely all play a role in how this fire season looks in the state of Oregon, but Erica Fleishman noted that humas also play a huge role in wildfire ignitions across the West.

Human impact “An overwhelming majority of wildfire ignitions across the West are human caused,” Fleishman said. “They’re not from lightening. That varies somewhat from region to region. As we talk about fire risk, a piece that’s not [mentioned] is where the ignitions come from and especially where humancaused ignitions come from. So, to some extent, humans can control their behavior. That is something that can reduce wildfire risk appreciably. There are predictable human behavior patterns, and people can do a lot about controlling that component of wildfire risk.”

Fleishman and Bailey both said that one predictable human behavior pattern was the spike in human-caused wildfires that occurs during the Fourth of July week due to fireworks.

“People like fireworks,”

Fleishman said. “On fourth of July there is a huge spike in wildfires that correlates to fireworks use. So, that’s in the data. Some of them are small, but it really constrains capacity of wildfire resources. Labor Day is similar. Keep in mind the factor of sparks starting a lot of fires.”

“On the Fourth of July, it’s not a little blip, it’s like 20 percent increase in [wildfire] ignitions, relative to the week before. It’s a spike,” Bailey added.

This rings especially true for Oregon. The Oregon Department of Forestry collects historical fire data for the state, keeping track of the number of wildfires, the total acres burned, and how and where fires ignite each year. Last year, Oregon saw 29 wildfires during the week of June 24 through July 1. The following week, July 2 through July 9, Oregon saw 50 wildfires. Of the 79 wildfires that occurred over this two-week period, 78.5% were human caused.

The silver lining A silver lining going into this fire season will be the fact that funding is currently being distributed from the Oregon State Fire Marshall to fund wildfire preparedness programs and strategies throughout the state, due to Oregon Senate Bill 762. For example, over 106 organizations were awarded funds as part of the Community Wildfire Risk Reduction (CWRR) grant, totaling $18 million. The CWRR grant is intended to cover personnel costs, projects for vulnerable communities, defensible space programs, community common area projects, educational projects, fuel mitigation and reduction costs, tree service and debris cleaning companies, and planning and administrative costs, according to the Oregon State Fire Marshall’s office.

John Bailey said that “it’s great to have” funding for risk-reduction strategies, and that communities should develop a “cohesive strategy that looks at resistant landscapes, fireadapted communities, safe and effective responses for firefighting resources, and having evacuation plans.”

Bailey also stressed the importance of homeowners cleaning their roofs, decks, and gutters to help mitigate fire fuels and avoid wildfire home losses.

“In addition to taking care of your own [house], work with your neighbors, communicate with your neighbors, help them out,” Bailey said.

More information about 2023 wildfire season can be found at https://wildfire. oregon.gov/pages/currentconditions.aspx for current conditions and active fires.

The project would be located on Lobster Creek in Curry County, OR, approximately 4 miles north of the Rogue River. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners’ express permission.

Neptune Pumped Storage 2, LLC has proposed to construct: (1) an upper reservoir with a surface area of 50 acres and a storage volume of approximately 3,000 acre-feet created by a 5,600-foot-long, 70-foot-high rockfill embankment ring dike; (2) a lower reservoir with a surface area of 50 acres and a storage volume of approximately 3,000 acre-feet created by a 5,700-foot-long, 70-foot-high rockfill embankment ring dike; (3) a 1,825 foot-long steel and concrete penstock with a diameter of 22feet; (4) a 550-foot-long, 120-foot-wide concrete powerhouse/pump station located on the lower reservoir shoreline containing 6 generating/ pumping units for a total generating capacity of 550 MW; (5) an approximate 13-mile, 230-kilovolt (kV) transmission line from a proposed substation near the powerhouse to an existing substation on Nesika Beach Dump Rd that would interconnect to the regional transmission grid; (6) an approximately 1.7-mile-long underground

pipeline with a 100 cfs capacity and a diameter of 2.5-feet diverting water from Lobster Creek for initial fill and annual maintenance fill; and, (7) appurtenant facilities. The proposed project would be operated as a closed-loop system and generate an estimated annual average of 1,606 gigawatt-hours.

NOTICE OF IMPENDING POWER TO SELL TAX-DEFAULTED PROPERTY Pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code sections 3691 and 3692.4, the following conditions will, by operation of law, subject real property to the tax collector’s power to sell: All property for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for five or more years. Any property the tax collector has received a request to bring the property to the next scheduled tax sale from a person or entity that has a nuisance abatement lien recorded against the property and for which property taxes and assessments have been in default for three or more years. Any property that has been identified and requested for purchase by a city, county, city and county, or nonprofit organization to serve the public benefit by providing housing or services directly related to low-income persons and for which property 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. All information concerning redemption or the initiation of an installment plan of redemption will be furnished, upon request, by Barbara M. Lopez, Del Norte County Tax Collector, 981 H Street, Suite 150, Crescent City, CA 95531 or by calling (707) 464-7283.

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 7/11/2023 at 11:00 AM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 6/15/2004 as Instrument No. 20044148 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Del Norte County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: LORETTA M UPTON, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, 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, SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, OR SAVINGS BANK SPECIFIED IN SECTION 5102 OF THE FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE; OUTSIDE ON THE STEPS OF THE SOUTHWEST ENTRANCE TO THE FLYNN ADMINISTRATION BLDG. LOCATED AT 981 H STREET, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 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 described as: MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1333 OREGON ST, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein.

Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust. The 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: $12,110.63 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful 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.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING. COM, using the file number assigned to this case 109534-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the 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 (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 109534-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee.

Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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

Trust Deed was recorded on May 16, 2017 as instrument no.

2017-02079 of the official records of Curry County, Oregon. 4. Default for which foreclosure is made is failure of the Grantor to make required payments under the terms of the Promissory Note and Trust Deed pledged as security therefore, and failure to keep the property insured.

5. The sums owing on the obligation secured by the Trust Deed is $123,458.59 as of the 9th day of March, 2023, plus interest accruing on the unpaid principal portion thereof at the rate of 4.625% per annum, recoverable late fees, trustee’s and attorney’s costs and fees incurred, plus such other sums as Beneficiary may advance for the benefit of Grantor - i.e., real property taxes and insurance premiums. 6.

Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale. 10.

In construing this notice and whenever the context hereof so requires, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest

to the grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by said Trust Deed, and their successors in interest, the word “trustee” includes any successor trustee and the word “beneficiary” includes any successor in interest of the beneficiary named in the Trust Deed, and any collateral beneficiary, and their successors in interest.

The prior ordinance limited licenses to those businesses retailing tobacco on July 1, 2022, prohibited the transfer of licenses between locations, and prohibited the transfer of a license to a subsequent owner when a business changes ownership. This amendment retains the limit on licenses to those operating on July 1, 2022, and maintains the prohibition on transfer of licenses between locations.

But this amendment allows a license to be transferred to a subsequent owner upon a change of ownership of a retailer.

A full copy of the ordinance is available for review in the Board of Supervisors office at 981 H Street, Suite 200, Crescent City, CA during normal business hours.

Elliot Schwarz/Country Media, Inc. The Azalea Festival drew participants from around the area for a community parade, car show and events at Azalea Park.

Festival

Continued from Page 1 Events The first festival had a wild hog barbecue, and it’s been a tradition ever since.

The local Elks lodge has fed the crowds for at least the past 50 years. Pit Master Johnny Shaw, who has been doing the barbecue for the past 29 years, prepared 350 of pork for this year’s

fairgoers.

At the Port of Brookings Harbor Curry County Cruisers held their annual benefit Show ‘n Shine vintage car rally. The show participants followed that with a cruise through town on Sunday.

Sunday also featured a pancake breakfast at the Masonic Lodge, a community church service at the park, art and flower

shows and sales, a quilt guild show, and Family Fun Day at the park. There were hot dogs, ice cream, and soft drinks along with a performance by Wild Rivers Conservatory of Dance, and Portland illusionist Scott Anderson.

The festival history coincides with the park’s dedication by Oregon Park Superintendent Samuel Boardman in 1939. Azaleas

are the central focus of both the park and the festival.

The approximately 3,000 native blooms currently in the park have been there for between 150 to 300 years.

Oregon State Park Historian W.A. Langille said in a 1943 report of the park, “No one traveling this portion of the Oregon Coast highway in flower season, should miss the opportunity for a short

diversion into this Azalea Park for a glimpse of its floral splendor.” That by the middle of May it offered “…the handsomest and most impressive showing[s] of native azaleas anywhere within the whole United States.”

Though the flowers are a sensory focus of the festival, the community focus is overarching. The state historic preservation

office has given it an Oregon Heritage Tradition designation.

This designation recognizes events more than 50 years old that represent what it means to be an Oregonian. Designated events are unique locally, regionally, and statewide.

These events add to the livability and identity of the state, according to the designation.
