COVID slowing, but still 'very dangerous and unpredictable' JEREMY C. RUARK The Pilot

Oregon health officials are confirming that the latest modeling shows COVID-19 cases are slowing. "But we can't rest on our laurels," Oregon Epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger said. "This is not an on-off fix. It's a dimmer fix. We need to be prepared if COVID reemerges. Whether it's the current Delta variant or future variants that may not even

be known yet. They could come back with a vengeance." What's next? Sidelinger, commented during a Tuesday, Sept. 7 news briefing with Gov. Kate Brown, and said while the new modeling offers some encouragement, some people are taking less precautions and he stressed that the unvaccinated need to be vaccinated and wearing face coverings in public buildings and outside when among crowds will be key to slowing the pandemic in the

weeks ahead. "This is a crisis that is largely being driven by people that are not vaccinated against COVID-19," Slidelinger said. "The decisions we make over the next few weeks will determine if we plunge further into this crisis." Brown said because more Oregonians are masking up and continuing to get vaccinated, the projected length of the latest surge has been cut. However, she More COVID, Page A5

The latest modeling shows COVID-19 cases in Oregon are slowing, but Gov. Kate Brown and state health officials caution that the latest surges are largely among those who are not vaccinated.

Despite being paralyzed in an accident nine months ago, Zachary Abblitt has never lost hope or faith. His supporters are hosting a community event, Zac's Hopefest, September 12. Above, Abblitt poses with his brothers and sister in Brookings.

Zac's Hopefest planned September 12 Guest Article for the Pilot Hope. It is what drives all of us. Especially in seasons of great adversity. Nine months ago, Zachary Abblitt was a thriving 18 year old, just having graduated from high school, active with cross country running, biking, surfing, swimming, working out in the gym, playing the piano and bass guitar… until a miscalculated dive into the Brookings harbor ocean on November 20 broke his neck and rendered him paralyzed from the chest down. If anyone was in need of hope, it would have been Zachary. Yet, one week post-accident, he declared from his hospital bed, bound in neck brace, saying, “I’m fully trusting in the Lord. I know this is His will for my life,

and although it may seem confusing at first, I’m excited to see how He is going to use me.” His family created the hashtag #zacsHope to keep friends updated on his progress. His uncle created a web page, www. ZacsHope.com, and a Facebook page, Zachary Abblitt Recovery, which quickly gained over 1,300 followers. Zachary’s hope was polarizing as updates and pictures of Zachary poured in from his mom, Kristi, who began to journal though his journey. “As the classification ‘quadriplegic’ began to be used by doctors about Zac,” Kristi explained, “my heart would just seize up. Yet I would quickly find myself choking out a whisper, ‘But God, You have the Final Word in Zachary’s life.”

Throughout the long, initial month at Mercy Hospital in Redding, Calif., Zachary was often seen laughing with his siblings and friends via video chats as they observed his new weaknesses, such as trying to feed himself. “I believe he laughs because he is living in faith,” his mom, Kristi, observed. “He knows God lives in him and is working His power through his weaknesses. He does not seem afraid of them. But even if he is, more than being whole, he wants God to be glorified in his life.” The momentum of Hope continued a month later, as Zachary was accepted into Craig Hospital for rehab, recognized as one of the top spinal cord rehabilitation centers in the nation. His family cheered him on with a video they created for his

acceptance into Craig. “Zac is a fighter,” his brother Spencer commented, “and he is gonna do everything he can do get back on his feet.” “Everything Zac is, and everything he has been has never come out more than in this current circumstance of watching Zac being physically paralyzed…” his sister Charis explained. “But just as Zac has set his mind to learn the piano, to surf, to be an athlete and a runner… this [rehab] will give him all that he needs to put that same determination in to waking again and running again…” Hope came in many ways at Craig Hospital. His day was packed with therapy session in

missioners with Court Boice asking fellow commissioners what should be done to better protect the public in the wake of 27 new cases in the past week. The total number of documented cases in Curry County is at 1,495 with a reported 16 deaths as a result of the virus. The centers for Disease Control reports a recent spike in the number of cases since late August with roughly 24 cases every seven days. “Can we see what we can do to make a difference and do the right thing? Do we want to create a mask mandate?” asked Boice.

Commissioner John Herzog responded in the negative. “I don’t think it’s our right.” Boice continued by discussing the possibility of discouraging tourism during the virus surge. He asked fellow commissioners if they would support discouraging visitors from coming until infection cases subsided. Herzog maintained his opposition. “I in no way can say don’t come to Curry County unless you don’t feel good. It’s common sense.” Herzog’s position was supported by Commissioner Christopher Paasch. “I don’t

want to mandate anything to risk the right of citizens.” Commissioners also deliberated on protocols for staff and county offices. They opted to leave it up to individual department heads as to closing doors to the public and allowing phone appointments. However, they voted in favor of allocating $100,000 from federal relief dollars to support county employees who are struck by COVID to receive pay while out sick.

Commissioners opt to avoid local mandates By Julie Akins For The Pilot

Curry County will be hosting a National Guard Unit to assist it with the latest surge of COVID 19 and the Delta variant, according to information revealed at the Curry County Board of Commissioners meeting on Wednesday. The exact date has yet to be announced but according to Community Development Director, Connie Hunter, “They’re on the way.” The subject of how to best deal with the coronavirus remains a point of contention among com-

Despite near total agreement that the specially formed Curry County Housing Committee needs to come some distance organizationally, Curry County Commissioners agreed to allow it to continue at their meeting on Wednesday. This in the wake of a call to dissolve it by several members including Mary Rowe who claimed to be “bullied” and have her rights “violated outrageously” through the process of the meeting. Chair person Connie Hunter agreed that the last meeting lacked an agenda and struggled with on line technology but denied any bullying or attempt to silence members while admitting it’s been disorganized which may have led to bad feelings, “I’m sorry for that.” Hunter was aided by Economic Development Coordinator Summer Matteson who promised in future to create the agendas, minutes and to run the meetings technologically. “What I don’t want to do is dissolve it but some things need to be updated and revamped,” Matteson said. Commissioner John Herzog agreed the committee needs a more organized approach. “There was no agenda,” he stated while pointing out minutes were outdated. “It looks irresponsible.” Matteson concurred, describing the August 13 meeting as “a hot mess.” However, she promised to right the ship claiming she would step up. “I’m offering to make this my priority.” The Curry County Housing Committee was formed in the wake of receiving American Rescue Plan funds from the federal government as a result of COVID-19. The funds, according to Finance Director Brad Rueckert, are being allocated by commissioners for a variety of programs with a bulk of the money, roughly $3.3 million available for low income housing. It’s unclear how much commissioners will eventually allocate toward housing but the committee was formed in order to offer recommendations. Currently there is just over $1 million remaining of the last allocation. A little more than $2 million is expected to arrive from the ARP in May of 2022, according to Rueckert. The committee is tasked with determining best locations and partners to create “shovel ready” projects in order to deal with Curry County’s lack of affordable housing. Curry County continues to face a shortage of affordable housing, with median rental costs at $870 — the highest in the Southwest region, according to the Oregon More HOUSING, Page A5

the Radio club so we could enjoy all the local television channels. He also worked with the bee club and cultivated bee hives where he harvested honey for us all. Steve lived in constant improvements to his environment, his daily practices and himself. He enjoyed skiing, and mountain climbing with Mount Rainier being his highest climb. His adventures included scuba diving, sky diving, fishing, hunting (birds, elk, deer, goats, wild boar), hiking, white water rafting, kayaking, bee keeping, mushroom hunting and gardening. An avid learner, he studied Buddhism, quantum physics, philosophy and always enjoyed a good puzzle whether verbal or manual. Whether he was riding his bike around town (coffee mug in hand), playing tennis, or kayaking up the river, because down the river was too easy, he had a smile ready for anyone he encountered. Steve’s woodworking practice resulted in many improvements at home and at the 3/4 Acre Woods where he kept his bee hives. At home we enjoyed constant attention to our bunnies and our dogs and could always expect a perfected cup of coffee or an evening cocktail accompanied by cheese and crackers, of course, plus whatever fruit was growing in the garden and maybe some freshly smoked salmon. We all loved and admired

Charles Ellsworth Harman, age 90, passed away at home in Brookings, Oregon, surrounded by his family. He is survived by his wife Mary Elizabeth Harman of Brookings, Oregon; children Johanna, Audrey and Paul Harman; his brother Robert Harman and sisters Muriel Brandt and half-sister Dianne Agster. His sister Arlene Malicot preceded him in death.

Charles was born in Santa Monica, California, the son of George Harman and Myrtle Morkassel. He graduated from UCLA and went to medical school at St. Louis University after which he met his wife Mary, while working as a first-year resident in psychiatry at Brooklyn State Hospital. She was a registered nurse at the same hospital. She said, “I was coming off my shift from a closed ward and he was just arriving, and he gave me the biggest, most beautiful smile.” They were together ever since. Charles was a renaissance man who worked hard to put himself through medical school. He was board-certified in psychiatry and board eligible in neurology. He was a medical researcher, violinmaker (violins, cellos & violas), had a J. D. degree, was a fisherman (commercial salmon & tuna); a boat builder

(53 foot sailing fish boat), amateur string player, author (autobiography, law, psychiatry, viola making) and whistleblower He was such a fan of baseball (go Giants! Mariners!) that he regularly practiced his pictures and went to the batting cages even up until his mid-70’s, hitting the ball at up to 70 mph. Charles initiated preservation of Native American land in Arizona and co-founded Friends of Music with Professor Eugene Andre in Brookings, Oregon. He generously donated his instruments to students and professionals. Charles was a brilliant man who chose often to defend and support the vulnerable He was also a great husband and father. We miss you. His immediate family will hold a private memorial at a later date.

Patrick Byron Chew was born Oct 12, 1952 in Woodbury, NJ to William and Margaret. He went home to Glassboro to join his siblings Michael, Lori Haynes, and William Jr (Teri). These siblings and his younger brother, Robin (Cristy), all survive him. The family lived in Batavia, IL and then in Worthington, OH where Patrick lettered in wrestling and football. When they moved to Claremont, CA, he continued wrestling and graduated in 1971. He received a full-ride scholarship to wrestle for Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. At Poly, he was third alternate for the U.S. wrestling team for the 1972 Olympics. After crushing his shoulder, he lost his scholarship and looked into many studies, finally choosing Speech Rhetoric. He played many leading roles and developed a love for the theatre. He graduated in 1975 and received his MFA in Dramatic Arts from UC Davis in 1978. At Davis, he helped start the Davis Performing Arts center which provided arts education for children as

a result of school funding cuts. He acted at Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts several summers and met his wife, Nancy, in 1980. Their honeymoon was working for Western Stage of Hartnell, summer of 1983. With friends, they created a non-profit, Pacific Stage Company, and produced drama and dance in Pleasanton, Livermore, and Santa Cruz, CA. Patrick worked off and on for Centaur Manufacturing (his parent’s business) producing ABS DWV pipe. When his brother, Michael, bought the company in 1986 Patrick became general manager of Phoenix Pipe until the business closed. Patrick taught at UC, Santa Cruz Theatre Department and received “Favorite Professor Award” in 1991. From 1994 – 2002 he worked at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, in Ashland, OR, as an engineer and carpenter, with world renowned designers. During his last year, he also acted in the world premiere of “Handler”. Patrick also taught in the Theater Department of Southern Oregon University from 1999 – 2002. In 1995 he was ordained through the First Christian’s Essene Church. He loved performing weddings. Moving to Brookings, OR in 2003 because of Nancy’s teaching position, Patrick began working for

Zia Dream Homes and became their in-house architectural designer. Over 70 projects were built in Curry County using his designs. When Zia Dream Homes closed, Patrick started his own company, Creative Touch Designs. Patrick helped create the Brookings-Harbor Education Foundation, to fund educational opportunities in Curry County, and was the founding President of the Board of Directors. He received a MAT from Southern Oregon University in 2014. In 2019 Patrick and Nancy returned to the southern Oregon valley to be nearer their three children, Ben (Jennifer), Katherine (Tim), and Sarah (Brian) who all survive Patrick. He is survived by his wife, Nancy Pattison Chew, all of his siblings (as mentioned above), his nephews Stephen Chew and Andrew Haynes, and nieces Jennifer Haynes and Mary, Danica and Feliciana Chew. In addition, he is survived by his siblings-inlaw Liann Cooper, Alissa Pattison, and James Pattison and their children. A memorial is being planned for October 9th in Ashland, OR. In lieu of flowers the family asks that tax-deductible donations be made in Patrick’s name to the Brookings-Harbor Education Foundation, P.O. Box 4292, Brookings, OR 97415.

Steve Pringle, age 59, peacefully left this earth while at home on Tuesday, August 17th 2021. Steve was born in Reno, Nevada on September 25, 1961.

It was briefly argued by Commissioner Paasch. “This could easily be abused. I would support it if employees had to use up their sick time before accessing this money.” However Finance Director Brad Rueckert stated that in order to access the funds employees would need a doctor’s note confirming COVID. He further stated that if employees exhausted all sick days due to COVID, NOAA Tide Predictions they’d have no days left ookings, Chetco Cove, ,2021

Commissioners also approved a $31,000 allocation to hire a full time janitor with an emphasis on sanitizing the county building. The county has been without a full time janitor for some months in an effort to tighten its belt, but given its allocation of $4.4 million in federal funds over a two year period to deal with COVID under the “American Rescue Plan” they were able

Opinion & Letters Guest Opinion

Our new age of fire

By Steve Pyne

Fire in the West is expected, and not so long ago, it seemed something the West experienced more than anywhere else. Nationally, big fires were treated as another freak of Western violence, like a grizzly bear attack or another California quirk like Esalen and avocados. Now the wildland fires flare up everywhere. There are fires in Algeria and Turkey, Amazonia and Indonesia, and France, Canada and Australia. Last year even Greenland burned. Fire seasons have lengthened, fires have gotten meaner and bigger; fires have begun not just gorging on logging slash and prowling the mountainous backcountry, but also burning right into and across towns. Three years ago in northern California, the Camp fire broke out along the Feather River and, burning southwest, incinerated the town of Paradise. Now, the Dixie fire, starting 20 miles north in the same drainage, is burning in the opposite direction, taking out the historic town of Greenville. The fires have us coming and going. The causes have been analyzed and reanalyzed, like placer miners washing and rewashing tailings. Likewise, the solutions have been reworked and polished until they have become clichés, ready to spill into the culture wars. The news media have fire season branded into their almanac of annual events. Scientific disciplines are publishing reports and data sets at an exponential rate. So far as understanding the fire scene, we’ve hit field capacity. What more can we say? One trend is to go small and find meaning in the personal. But there is also an argument to go big and frame the story at a planetary scale that can shuffle all the survival memoirs, smoke palls that travel across the continent, melting ice packs, lost and disappearing species and sprawling frontiers of flame, in much the way we organize the swarm of starlight in a night sky into constellations. I’m a fire guy. I take fire not just as a random happening, but as an emergent property that’s intrinsic to life on Earth. So I expect fires. All those savanna fires in Africa, the land-clearing fires in Brazil and Sumatra, the boreal blowouts in Siberia and British Columbia, the megafires in the Pacific Northwest — all the flames we see. But then there are fires that should be present and aren’t — the fires that once renewed and stabilized most of the land all over our planet. These are the

Steve Pyne fires that humanity, with its species monopoly on combustion, deliberately set to make living landscapes into what the ancients termed “a second nature.” But it was not enough. We wanted yet more power without the constraints of living landscapes that restricted what and when we could burn. We turned to fossil fuels to burn through day and night, winter and summer, drought and deluge. With our unbounded firepower we remade second nature into “a third nature,” one organized around industrial combustion. Our fires in living landscapes and those made with fossil fuels have been reshaping the Earth. The result is too much bad fire and too little good, and way too much combustion overall. Add up all those varieties of burning, and we seem to be creating the fire equivalent of an Ice Age, with continental shifts in geography, radical changes in climate, rising sea level, a mass extinction and a planet whose air, water, soil and life are being refashioned at a breakneck pace. It’s said that every model fails but some are useful. The same holds true for metaphors. What the concept of a planetary Fire Age — a Pyrocene — gives us, is a sense of the scale of our fire-powered impact. It suggests how the parts might interact and who is responsible. It allows us to reimagine the issues and perhaps stand outside our entrenched perspectives. What we have made - if with unintended consequences - we can unmake, though we should expect more unknown consequences. We have a lot of fire in our future, and a lot to learn about living with it. Steve Pyne is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. He is the author of The Pyrocene. How We Created an Age of Fire, and What Happens Next.

Letters to the editor My body, my choice This past week, as I was driving along Chetco Avenue, I noticed some 30 or so people near the fountain in front of Grocery Outlet. I could not help but wonder what they were doing there. It was not until I came alongside them and saw the signs and tee shirts saying "My body, my choice," did I realize that they were demonstrating for abortion rights. It was heartwarming to see this support for a woman's right to

choose on display in Brookings. Peter Krebser Brookings No good deed goes unpunished Last week when I passed St. Timothy's Church, I saw more cars parked in the parking lots and along the street than for any big concert in the park. It was not because of the free meals they often serve, that were recently described in a letter to the editor as akin to feeding wild animals,

but instead because they offer the only truly free COVID tests and no hassle vaccinations now available in Brookings. It is the best example of true Christian values displayed here in town. The often-asked question, "What would Jesus do?" He would feed the hungry, comfort the unfortunate and help mend the infirm. That is what they do, but no good deed goes unpunished. Kevin Vanginderen Brookings

Guest Opinion

State Legislators need to hear from you By Rep. David Brock Smith This year the Legislature is tasked with drawing new legislative district maps that will determine who represents you and members of your community. What is redistricting exactly? To put it simply, it’s a constitutional obligation to rebalance political boundaries based on population changes from the U.S. Census. Legislators on the redistricting committee will be holding virtual hearings for residents across the state to seek input on where to put our state Senate and House districts, as well as where to put Oregon’s new 6th congressional district. If you’re wondering what’s important to consider for redistricting, a variety of criteria that other states use to ensure it’s a fair and transparent process can be found at https://www.ncsl.org/research/ redistricting/redistricting-criteria.aspx. Axios recently reported that Oregon is at a high risk of gerrymandering, a way of drawing maps that ignores the rules in order to favor one party’s candidates. Your attendance at the public hearings can reduce this risk. We wholeheartedly encourage everyone in our communities to bring their comments and concerns to these virtual hearings. Your input will help guide the committee’s work in creating more fair and representative maps. There is nothing more important this year than giving our communities a say in the actions and decisions that will affect them. We look forward to hearing about our strong turnout. To learn more about the redistricting process and sign up to testify, visit oregonlegislature.gov/redistricting. To find out which Congressional District you live in, visit https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative.

reporters the pandemic health and safety protocols now in place will help ensure in-person learning will continue through the entire school year. "The protocols we have in place with the state’s guidance of masking and vaccinations will really do a lot to make sure COVID doesn’t start in our schools," he said, adding that everyone has a responsibility to help keep kids in school by getting vaccinated, wearing masks and limiting large gatherings. ODE advisory For families with children heading back to the classroom, Gill said the ODE has released the following five straightforward back-to-school tips: • Make a plan to vaccinate all eligible

said, there are still challenging times ahead. "And we must remain vigilant," Brown said. "Every action you take impacts how this plays out. Every time you mask up you’re helping our doctors and nurses do their jobs. Every time you mask up, you’re helping our kids return to school more safely. And every time you mask up you’re helping keep our businesses and communities open." Brown said COVID-19 is still "very dangerous and unpredictable," and that new federal research confirms that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Oregon Department of Education's Colt Gill told

household members • Wear a face covering in public and in carpools • Limit gatherings with other households • Move any social activities outside • Make a plan in case your child needs to miss school Oregon Health Authority and ODE have issued the following School Health Advisory, to remain in effect statewide Sept. 7 – Oct. 1, unless otherwise updated: 1) All eligible youth and adults who come in contact with school-age children should vaccinate to reduce spread in the school community. 2) Families with schoolage children and educators should limit gatherings and non-essential activities with people from other

households to the extent possible. If you are visiting people from another household, you should wear a mask, maintain a physical distance of 6 feet, and keep activities outdoors as much as possible. 3) To the extent possible, schools and other organizations should reduce extracurricular activities and consider holding activities, such as meals, recess, physical education classes, music and choir, outdoors to maximize physical distancing. Likewise, if schools and other organizations proceed with extracurricular activities, they should consider holding them outdoors and implementing additional precautions like face coverings and physical distancing. 4) Schools should hold

beginning of the year family events (open houses, meet the teacher nights, etc.) online, rather than in-person. If events are held in-person, ensure all participants wear masks, hold the events outside, and maintain physical distancing of 6 feet to the degree possible. 5) Families should check your school’s website or ODE’s Ready Schools, Safe Learners website to review your school’s Safe Return to In-Person Instruction and Continuity of Services Plan. 'This isn't about you' At the end of the media briefing, Brown made a statement directed at all Oregonians. "This isn’t about you," Brown said. "This is about the kids under 12 that can't

get vaccinated. This is about your friend or your neighbor who is struggling with cancer and for whatever reason cannot receive a vaccine right now. This is for our entire community. It is also about health care workers that have been working day and night for weeks, for months now to keep Oregonians alive. They need us to keep wearing our masks.” Latest cases On Sept. 7, The OHA reported 54 new COVID-19 related deaths in Oregon, raising the state’s death toll to 3,326. The OHA also reported 5,821 new confirmed and presumptive cases of COVID-19, rising the state total to 289,649. The totals reflect data reported by local health officials over four days, between Sept. 3 and Sept.6.

COVID cases slowing in Curry County just under five a day. Over the last several weeks, the county has averaged well above 10 new cases a day. There were also no new deaths reported in the last week after Curry County had three new deaths linked to COVID the week before. Across Oregon, the numbers are also starting to decline,

While Curry County remains at a record pace for COVID cases, there are signs the worst of the Delta variant may have passed. Over the four-day holiday weekend, Curry County reported 19 new cases, an average of

but the devastation is far from over. Over the weekend, there were 5,821 new COVID cases reported with 54 new deaths. On Tuesday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said modeling does show a decrease in numbers, but she said the danger is far from over. Along the Southern Oregon Coast, COVID continues to be a

major problem as Coos County reported five new deaths over the weekend, and Douglas County remained one of the hot spots in the state with 421 new cases and more than 10 deaths. State Epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger said Tuesday the key to beating COVID remains getting enough people vaccinated. Across

Oregon, approximately 87 percent of new cases are among those not vaccinated and more than 95 percent of hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated. As of Tuesday, Oregon reported 1,140 people in the hospital with COVID. More than 90 percent of ICU beds remain full at hospitals across the state.

New Health Center opens in Port Orford Coast Community Health Center has expanded health services available in Port Orford by opening a new and expanded health center located on Tichenor Avenue directly adjacent to the Driftwood Elementary School. Services at the new location in Port Orford started August 3rd. The center has expanded primary care significantly, offering access to licensed doctors and nurse practitioners Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. The center is open to everyone on the Southern Oregon coast. The move from the Auborn Center for Wellness located on Highway 101 to the new campus adjacent to the elementary school will expand its previously offered medical services and adds additional services and staff to meet the needs of the region. The pharmacy has also tripled in size and is open to the public to use. The newly expanded facility will now offer fulltime mental health counselors, substance use counseling, care coordination services, Oregon Health Plan Assistance, vaccinations, reproductive health,

primary and preventative medical services for all ages. In the Outreach and Enrollment building, the services include support with SNAP benefits, health insurance, housing support, and much more. Coast CHC CEO Linda Maxon said, “Opening a full-service health center with a pharmacy, medical, behavioral health, and outreach service has been a personal dream for the past seven years. I am grateful for the support of the community and the CCHC team.” Coast CHC opened the Auborn Center for Wellness in 2020 to provide limited primary care, behavioral health services, and a pharmacy in addition to Outreach and Enrollment services. The Auborn Center for Wellness has been an excellent launching point for assistance. Coast CHC has rapidly grown out of the building. The new Tichenor facility allows Coast CHC to serve more individuals more robustly. Coast welcomes any community member to its new center to receive services. For inquiries, call 541-332-1114.

Coast Community Health Center recently opened a new facility in Port Orford.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Plac-

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 800- 280-2832 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-21- 891430-AB. 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 800-280- 2832, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-21-891430-AB 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. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein.

CBHS Lighthouse Greeting Center Gift Shop and Port Orford Lifeboat Station Museum reopen The Cape Blanco Lighthouse Greeting Center Gift Shop and Port Orford Lifeboat Station Museum are again open for visitors. The official opening was Labor Day weekend. The gift shop and museum hours will be 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday - Saturday starting out. They plan to add Sunday as staffing allows. The Lifeboat Station Museum is located at

Port Orford Heads State Park and the gift shop is at Cape Blanco State Park in close proximity to the famous lighthouse. At present, the lighthouse and the short road from the lighthouse gate are not open as they are both in need of repairs. Visitors will need to walk the short distance from the gate to the gift shop and can easily hike from

there to view the exterior of the lighthouse. Despite the lighthouse being closed, a trip to the tip of Cape Blanco and the greeting center is a lovely day trip that offers beautiful scenery and energizing hikes on the surrounding nature trails. Please exercise caution as the wind at the Cape is quite strong at times and your safety, as always, is our first concern.

Hopefest Continued From Page A1

which he had to re-learn the simplest of daily tasks, such as brushing his teeth. When he found he could begin to wiggle his small toe, he was able to access state-of-the-art equipment such as the Lokomat, a robot-assisted waking therapy machine. After weeks of an Upper Extremities class, where electric stimulation was hooked up to his wrists and fingers, he felt his righthand thumb come “alive.” “God gave me back a thumb!” he later told his family on a phone call. When asked how he could be so strong through all of this, Zachary was quick to reply, “It’s my faith in God. He’s my firm foundation…when everything is stripped away. It’s been incredible to see that through the fire, He’s been there the entire time. I’d rather walk through the fire with God than be in the world alone without Him.” Day after day, therapy at Craig Hospital brought new Hope. “It’s like Christmas every day,” Zachary laughed, “as I wait to see what new body part the Lord is gonna unlock for me.” New hope continued to come, such as the moment Zachary’s running shoes were put back on his unfeeling feet - feet that used to run a half marathon per week - in order to get him lifted into a standing position again. Or Hope as his motionless legs were connected to electric stimulation to pedal a bike. Hope as he went back into the waters, the source of his accident, and learned to swim again in Craig Hospital's therapy pool. Month after month, his mom Kristi remained by his side. “Every time I see Zachary, he is smiling,” she observed. “‘The joy of the Lord’ is not just a feel-good verse. It is truly evident in Zacs heart that the Lord is keeping him

Despite being paralyzed in an accident last year, Zachary Abblitt is all smiles while posing with his therapy team. strengthened because he has absolute confidence in God. He doesn’t question God. He isn’t fearful of the future. He trusts that the Lord is in control and that He is leading him. God’s joy upon him.” As well, Zachary’s father and pastor of Calvary Heritage in Brookings-Harbor, Rich Abblitt, noted Zachary’s joy: “Everyone wants what Zachary found - joy in the spirit and freedom in Christ. That the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen is the Lord’s story being written regarding the life of Zac who dared to surrender with no apprehension, has no regrets but joyous anticipation that God will answer him and whatever he asks for he has pleased the Lord to bring Him glory!” In June, after being

gone from home for 206 days, Zachary finally returned to Brookings and to the harbor beach where it all began. Back home. Back to the piano which Zac used to practice for hours. Back to the running shoes he used to wear. Back to his bass guitar he used to play. Back to his surfboard that started it all…. Returning to home in a wheelchair was a great challenge, but Zachary’s courage did not surprise his younger brother Everest, who had been his cross-country running partner. “Although it's been incredible to see how Zac has taken all this since day one,” Everest observed, “The strength of his faith in our God is not something that just happened ‘overnight’. The same strength was there before the injury. It just

got put to the test...and he has taken it as I know God would want him to.” And the inspiration has been widespread. Letters, emails, and Facebook posts of encouragement continued to pour in from family, friends, the community, and across the nation. One Facebook comment reads, “You go home with prayers from the thousands of people who have been praying for you.” And another comment says, “Although difficult I am sure, thank you for sharing this journey. I have followed it from the beginning and through it, I have grown as a person. Your son is an amazing young man. I watched every video posted and always saw his determination and never saw tears, always a smile. He has been a true inspiration to me as an adult.” Locals Michael and Jill Lange were also greatly touched by Zachary. For Michael, it was very personal, as he found himself on the beach the day of Zachary’s accident and ended up helping to pull him from the surf. After months of following Zachary’s progress, the idea of a Hopefest was born, and with it, an opportunity for Zachary to share with the community his story of Hope.

Michael and Jill, together with other members Brookings Nazarene and Calvary Heritage, began to put into motion the planning of Zacs Hopefest, which will take place at Azalea Park this September 12 from 1-4 p.m. Michael explains his motivation behind the Hopefest. “Our community is reeling right now from the onslaught of an epidemic and all of the ripple effects associated with that, and we want to share that there is Victory in Christ, no matter how impaired our physical stature is, or becomes, the greater miracle is the gift of Salvation. No better example of testimony of this, in our area at least, is that of Zachary Abblitt. My desire for HopeFest is to see hearts turned to the Cross and lives changed by way of God’s Holy Spirit working through Zac’s testimony, in addition to a blessing of resources for the Abblitt family to assist in weathering the perpetual financial challenges.” As plans for the Hopefest continue to progress, the planning team is expecting it to be a large community event and is working with local businesses and community members for event sponsorships and to collect items for a silent auc-

tion and raffle. If you are interested in assisting in any way, please email Jill Lange at jill@thelangeteam.com With this journey for Zachary just passing the ninth month marker, much of the battle still lies ahead. By September 4, the Abblitts need to be moved out of the home they have been renting as the owners of the house are putting it up for sale. Though timing is difficult, the tri-level home is less than ideal for Zachary’s needs now. Their hope is to purchase a home locally in which they can remodel to make accessible for Zachary. But for all Zachary Abblitt has been through, he still explains, “I wouldn’t describe this as a trial. It hasn’t felt like one. A trial is circumstance with no hope. Where things feel out of control.” For Zachary not to consider his paralysis a trial is mystifying to the mind, until you come hang out with him, and you hear him laugh, and you see his peace, and his joy, and his trust in the goodness of God‘s deep love for him. And suddenly Zachary’s story makes perfectly good sense. “God is in control and it’s just that simple,” Kristi journals. “Indeed,
