Challenges and dangers of the Chetco River Bar Chetco River Bar The bar is the area where the deep waters of the Pacific Ocean meet with the shallower waters near the mouth of the river.

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc. The Pilot: Could you provide us with the numbers of fatal accidents and injuries in the Chetco River Bar and are those numbers up, down, or steady, over the past few years?

Churchill: We have had no fatal accidents on the Chetco River bar in quite a few years.

The Pilot: How does the Coast Guard work to help education mariners and boaters about the Bar dangers?

Churchill: Coast Guard Station Chetco River is very involved with our community. We are constantly providing training and conduct safety boardings and inform every one of the dangers of the bar. The harbor also has hazardous warning lights that we turn on whenever the bar is restricted.

If mariners see those lights flashing, it is their responsibility to contact us and see what the restrictions are.

The local Coast Guard Auxiliary is also out and about quit often to provide training and pass information to mariners. They also provide safety classes throughout the year, POC is Auxiliarist Linda Puzas, phone number 408-203-2428, if anyone wants to see when the next class is.

The Pilot: What is the overall message about the Chetco River Bar dangers to mariners and boaters as we

As winter approaches, so does the increasing challenges and danger along the Chetco River Bar. The Pilot has reached out to United States Coast Guard representative Allen Churchill for insight about the needed safety measures mariners should consider before crossing the Chetco River Bar. The Pilot: What are the dangers of the Chetco Bar and please describe what causes those dangers?

Allen Churchill: The Chetco River bar is very narrow compared to other costal bars up and down the coast. The Chetco River Bar is also very shallow so when the storms come in and the waves go from deep water to shallow water, it makes them stand up bigger and break.

During the winter months, this bar also has a lot of water runoff coming from the mountains and could make current flow very dangerous to transit or not be able to transit at all. The flow of water is measured in Cubic Feet Per Second and last winter the highest it got was 58,000 CFS (cubic feet per second). When we feel the water flow is too dangerous, we will place a Captain of the Port Order, which closes the bar to ALL traffic in or out. With heavy rains we also get lots and lots of debris coming down river which makes it dangerous as well.

See CROSSING, Page 10

INDEX

Most accidents and deaths that occur on coastal bars are from capsizing.

Coastal bars may be closed to recreational boats when conditions on the bar are hazardous. Failure to comply with the closure may result in voyage termination, and civil and/or criminal penalties. The regulations are enforced by Coast Guard boarding teams.

Improper loading and/ or overloading are major causes of capsizing.

Boats are more likely to capsize when crossing the bar from the ocean because the seas are on the stern and the boater may have less control over the vessel.

That election would be held to replace the council members and mayor.

If all three are recalled, the city council is immediately left without a quorum. The city’s charter declares, “A vacancy in the council shall be filled within 60 days by: • Appointment by a majority of the council • Special election when the number of vacancies in the council exceeds the number of members holding office.”

Without a quorum, another special election is mandated by the charter.

“The terms of office of those appointed or elected run from the time of their qualifying for office after appointment or election and until expiration of the terms of their predecessors who have left the offices vacant,” the charter states.

City business functions during the recall process would likely see the city manager acting as the final authority for city actions, since there would not be a functioning city council, according to city officials.

“In this scenario, problems are likely to arise See RECALL, Page 10

Council approves $56M for housing

Boaters must make sure the bar is safe prior to crossing.

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

If you are caught on a rough bar running in: • Keep the boat square before the seas.

• Keep the boat on the back of the swell. Ride the swell and stay clear of the following wave.

• Avoid sudden weight shifts from passengers or gear.

• Do not allow the waves to catch your boat on the side (beam).

Law enforcement officials seek means beyond jail to address drug epidemic BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article Police officers lack the tools they need to help drug addicts enter treatment to help them kick the habit, Oregon law enforcement officials told a legislative panel.

Oregon police officials from Portland to Hermiston spoke to Oregon lawmakers about the impact of drug addiction in their communities – and efforts to combat the wave of deadly fentanyl overdoses, open air drug use in public places and easy availability of fentanyl, which sells on streets for 80 cents to $1 a pill.

Their feedback to lawmakers on the Joint Committee on Addiction and Community Safety Response will help guide that panel as it prepares for the 2024 session and seeks legislation to improve the state’s response to the drug addiction and overdose crisis, much of it driven by fentanyl that has flooded Oregon streets.

Lawmakers are weighing potential changes to Measure 110, which decriminalized possession of small amounts of hard drugs and put a share of cannabis revenue into addiction treatment and programs involving harm reduction that’s geared toward keeping people alive and peer services, which are based on trained people who’ve battled addiction. However, the committee’s scope is about the state’s drug addiction crisis as a whole – not simply changing Measure 110.

Under Measure 110, police officers who find

Ben Botkin / Oregon Capital Chronicle Lincoln County Sheriff Curtis Landers, left, and Hermiston Police Chief Jason Edmiston speak to lawmakers Monday, Nov. 6, about the state’s drug addiction crisis. users with small quantities of drugs can do little other than give them a $100 citation that can be waived if they opt for an assessment to enter a treatment program. But those citations are not criminal, meaning they’re often ignored and officers cannot arrest people.

“If someone is using drugs in public, we don’t have an abatement tool,” Sgt. Aaron Schmautz of the Portland Police Bureau told lawmakers.

Like other officers who spoke, he stressed the police want tools to get people into treatment – not simply to lock them up. Those tools could include peers and addiction treatment specialists, he said.

“The cry that I hear in downtown Portland over and over is here is this person that is using fentanyl in front of my child,” he said.

But the drug addiction crisis extends well beyond Portland into rural communities like Hermiston. Jason Edmiston, that city’s chief of police, said the eastern Oregon city’s police and paramedics have

administered naloxone, which reverses opioid overdoses, 57 times so far this year.

“It is safe to say that there isn’t a community in Oregon that isn’t significantly impacted by our drug addiction and fentanyl overdose crisis,” said Edmiston, who also spoke on behalf of the Oregon Association of Chiefs of Police.

Oregon police chiefs and the League of Oregon Cities, Oregon District Attorneys Association and Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association have asked lawmakers to consider a slate of changes, including the elimination of the $100 citations for drug possession and making them a misdemeanor, which carries more weight and can compel people in addiction to enter treatment. They also want lawmakers to create more ways for people with drug addiction to enter treatment, such as sobering centers and stabilization facilities to help them manage initial withdrawal symptoms, along with allocating more money for specialty court programs.

Lincoln County Sheriff

Curtis Landers said that the misdemeanor charge and an arrest can be a tool that “forces the issue” so people enter programs after arrest.

People are concerned, even in rural communities, and see homeless people addicted to drugs camp in parks, he said. Even the presence of one person using drugs is enough to make people worry that their safe communities and parks are in peril, he said.

“What I’m hearing from my constituents in our county is they don’t want to be like Portland, no disrespect,” he said.

Senate Majority Leader Kate Lieber, D-Beaverton and the committee’s cochair, said afterwards that the response from law enforcement offered a consistent message: They want to reach people – and they want the means to do it.

The committee, which heard from behavioral providers and others in October, will meet twice more before the session starts in February. The goal of the committee is to incorporate public health and law enforcement into the proposals.

“One of the biggest questions is how do we get people off the streets and into treatment,” Lieber said during the meeting.

Traffic crash claims life of Bandon resident STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

An Oregon State Police (OSP) report a Bandon resident has died in a motor vehicle crash.

According to OSP, troopers responded at around 1:23 p.m. Nov. 3, to a two-vehicle crash on U.S. Highway 101, near milepost 257, in Coos County.

The preliminary report said a Ford F-150, driven by a juvenile female (17), was northbound when she reportedly fell asleep and drifted into the southbound lanes. The truck struck a southbound Toyota Camry, driven by 77-yerold Carole Ann Voliva of Bandon, head-on.

Voliva was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the pickup was seriously injured, troopers reported.

Traffic was impacted for about three hours during an on-scene investigation. The investigation is ongoing.

Bandon Fire, Bandon Police Department, Coos County Sheriff’s Office, North Bend Police Department, Coos Bay Police Department, Bay Cities Ambulance, and the Oregon Department of Transportation assisted OSP at the scene of the crash.

VIEWPOINT

Oregon voter registration is up Registration But not for the growers. declined some years, but is up 5.1%. major parties nowMuch more striking has RANDY STAPILUS Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Column The midway point between the midterm election of 2022 and the presidential election of 2024 makes for a useful benchmark for examining the hardest political numbers, outside of actual elections, Oregon has to offer: Its voter registration statistics.

They tell a story of rise and fall, but Randy Stapilus not between Democrats and Republicans: Rather, between those willing to identify with a party and those who are not.

Overall, Oregon voter registration over the last five years has been growing steadily, in line with the population and maybe beyond that – from October 2018 to now it grew 8.4% – to just under three million people statewide or 2,999,871 to be exact. Picking numbers from monthly reports in October or September of each year avoids upticks in the parties from people who only temporarily switch to vote in a contested primary, and comes before the point when general election ballots are sent out.

Even then, the growth has not been even, and some categories of voters showed sharp declines.

Part of the political story of 2024 will be told in how that roller coaster is shaped next.

All of Oregon’s counties except the smallest, Wheeler, grew their voter registrations over the last five years, but some much more than others. The three fastest were Crook, Jefferson and Morrow, not among the top suspects for developing big electorates.

Because of their small sizes, they don’t change the picture drastically. Oregon’s largest county, Multnomah, was one of the slowest

been the roller coaster of party registration in the last few years.

Democratic Party registration this month stands at 998,380, which is almost 15,000 lower than in 2022, which was 13,000 lower than in 2021, which was a stunning 30,000 lower than in 2020. That’s not a happy trend line for the party. But there are some mitigating factors.

One of those happened just before those years: During the year leading up to the 2020 election, Democratic registration grew by a whopping 82,277.

Considering that increase and the more gradual erosion in the years since, the party’s registration level today is about where it was in 2019 if you account for population increase.

The second mitigator is Republican registration, where the picture, though also mixed, looks rougher.

This month, 721,530 Republicans are registered in the state – fewer than three-fourths the number of Democrats. That, too, is a decline from the 2020 numbers, when 764,216 Republicans were registered. (Both parties seem to have gone all out to register party members in that presidential year, then lost many afterward.) Since 2020, Republicans lost registrants two of the last three years, with the largest share of losses coming in 2021.

So if lots of people have left the two big parties since 2020, but overall voter registration has remained generally stable, where did they go?

Some went to the Independent Party of Oregon, which has gained about 6,000 members since 2020. But by far the largest number went to the nonaffiliated voter category: It picked up about 14,000 registrants in that time. While the parties gained members in the year prior to 2020, those in the unaffiliated category See VOTERS, Page 10

THIS THING CALLED LIFE

Is chaos the new ‘normal’?

Michelle Pierson Young Pilot Guest Column

The ’20s thus far have seemed a bit bumpy in many ways.

We keep adjusting to a new normal that doesn’t feel that normal and historically speaking, isn’t that new. There Michelle have always been plagues, Young wars and political shenanigans. We’re just better at getting the word out now.

While I regularly search for reason in the news of the day, it can be a bit overwhelming to have the exposure we have to world circumstances without necessarily having background to understand who the players are, let

alone what their different motivations might be.

In a world which sometimes seems quite intent on presenting to us today’s version of “what fresh hHell?,” it’s important we take stalk of what’s actually happening to us in the moment. Presented with today’s newest revelation, we are regularly being called into panic and blame.

We are scared and we’d like to know who’s caused this.

Being human has caused this. We are complicated (and to my way of thinking, fairly odd) beings. We are scared because we focus on things we can’t control.

We’re scared for a lot of reasons. And sometimes they’re good reasons. But if we’re not using our scared, then it’s no good to us.

We can take in the information of the day and begin to process what’s to be done and what we

might like to do about it.

Once that’s done, we’ve left to other’s what is theirs and we’ve decided what we’d like to do on our own behalf, then there’s nothing to be done but do it. We can, logically, leave it alone.

I am sitting under an umbrella eating churros in the Sarrasota sun as I write. My server and I got to talking and she began telling me about her young adult children. As they grow into this world that’s been so topsy turvy, it was my pleasure to hear her talk about teaching them life lessons while providing support. As they push back, as we all seem to when we’re growing, she stands her ground, teaching them the ropes of life as adults, she assures them when she

is unwilling to relent to their calls to be saved, “you’re fine.”

As we come to a close, however it played out for you, I bet life has been somewhat unrelenting.

You’ve not had all your dreams come true, wars still rage on and life continues to be complicated. I like to think it is the Universe assuring us we are growing, and though things will not unfold exactly as we sometimes allow ourselves to hope, we keep breathing, we keep figuring it out.

When life feels a bit much for me, I like to take a few deep breaths, and if you happen to be close during one of those moments, you might hear me whisper to myself in a soothing and ancient tone, “you’re fine.”

VIEWPOINT

The superstitions of investing JULIA CARLSON Financial Freedom Pilot Guest Column If you’ve ever heard that walking under a ladder is considered bad luck or that Friday the 13th is considered unlucky, you are already aware of superstitions.

Superstitions can be a fun and interesting way to learn about different cultures and beliefs.

The idea Julia that specific Carlson thoughts or actions can influence future events in a way that cannot be explained by natural or scientific laws and principles is found in cultures worldwide. These quirky ideas can add a bit of excitement and mystery to life, but be cautious where superstition and investing meet!

While superstition and investing may seem like two unrelated things, many investors believe in superstitions and let them influence their investment

decisions. For instance, some investors believe in their gut feeling and let it guide their investment decisions. They may buy a stock because they have a good feeling about it, even if the fundamentals of the company are not strong. Others may have past experiences that dictate their actions — an investor that had a personal experience with the stock market and had positive returns is more likely to stay invested versus somebody who associates the stock market with negative returns.

While there is no scientific evidence to support any of these superstitions, many investors still believe in them. Some investors believe that superstitions can help them to make better investment decisions, while others simply enjoy the sense of tradition and community that comes with following them.

Financial experts generally agree that it is not a good idea to let superstition influence your investment decisions.

Investing should be based on sound financial analysis and research, not on

superstition.

Superstitions can lead to investors making irrational decisions that can cost them money. For example, an investor who believes that a certain number is lucky may be more likely to invest in a stock with that number in the ticker symbol, even if the stock is overpriced or has poor fundamentals.

Superstitions can also lead to investors missing out on investment opportunities. For example, an investor who believes that Mondays are a bad day to buy stocks may miss out on buying a stock that is undervalued on Mondays.

Superstition can spice up your life, but if you are considering investing,

it is important to do your research and make decisions based on sound financial analysis. Good luck!

Study finds ‘increasingly toxic political environment’ interviewing nearly all Oregon county clerks and have compiled the sobering findings in a study to be presented before the Legislature today.

“This report is a grim but realistic look at what our county clerks face,” Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade said. “But it’s also a testament to their professionalism and ingenuity.”

The researchers found: Staffing recruitment and retention is hampered by out-ofdate job classifications, compensations, and perceptions of the work.

Staffing today is at or below staffing levels from a decade ago.

Public records requests are becoming increasingly burdensome, as false information is spread and distrust in elections systems continues to fuel more frequent and complicated requests for information.

Oregon’s 36 county clerks play a critical role on the front lines of administering Oregon’s elections and are essential in promoting the state’s democracy.

But an increasingly toxic political environment, inadequate funding model, and rapidly growing and changing workload are threatening the clerks’ ability to recruit, hire, and retain county elections staff, according to a new study published by Reed College.

The study was commissioned by the Oregon Secretary of State Elections Division to better understand the changing landscape county clerks face in advance of the 2024 Presidential election year.

Researchers at Reed College’s Elections and Voting Information Center (EVIC) spent months

“

But it’s also a testament to their professionalism and ingenuity.

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

LaVonne Griffin-Valade, Oregon Secretary of State

Local elections offices are experiencing retirements, resignations, and loss of expertise. Since 2020, 34% of county clerks have retired or resigned.

Oregon’s funding model for county elections, dependent largely on fluctuations in interest rates and the real estate market, is inadequate for election needs. Counties are already laying off workers because of this outdated funding model.

Elections officials and staff are subject to unacceptable levels

of abuse, threats, and harassment, driving many of them to quit despite expressing their pride and passion for the work.

“We have active shooter training that we’ve done,” one individual told the researchers.

“We kind of know how to recognize some of the signs that somebody might be escalating versus deescalating.”

“I saw in [previous Clerk] this love and passion that I didn’t know was there,” another said. “It pushed me into really caring and

loving and making sure that people really know what they had, and how important elections are, and the rights they have. And if you are not involved, it’s really hard to see change.”

Elections Division staff commissioned the study at the request of the Oregon Association of County Clerks, after hearing concerns from elections officials about the changing electoral landscape.

Prior to the study, officials lacked data to fully capture the needs of elections administration in Oregon.

The study is a critical first step to understanding the discrepancies in staffing challenges across the state and provides information for Oregon clerks to use when advocating for increased investment, according to Griffin-Valade.

“For the last few years, we have heard hundreds of anecdotes about underfunding and

understaffing at county elections offices, both here in Oregon and around the country,” Griffin-Valade said. “Now, we have some real data to back up those anecdotes. We call on legislators and county governments to read this report and consider its recommendations.”

Researchers include several recommendations in the study, directed at both the Secretary of State’s Office and the Oregon Legislature, on ways to provide coordinated and statewide support to county elections officials.

The Secretary was scheduled to join two Oregon County clerks and the Reed College researchers to share the study’s findings during November Legislative Days at the Capitol, Nov. 7.

Ann Leonard It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Ann Leonard, 88 of Brookings, OR on Saturday, October 28, 2023.

She was born in Ashton-Under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England on Aug. 1, 1935, to George and Gladys Longden.

Active in Highland Dancing she met her future husband Frank Leonard in the Audenshaw-Fletchers Scottish Pipers and Highland Dancers in 1949. Ann would marry Frank and they would eventually immigrate to the United States arriving in California in 1959.

Ann had a variety of jobs, including working at Kraft foods until they closed her work location at which point tried her hand as a cosmetologist in which she did not like and finish, earning her the nickname of “beauty school dropout”, following this she dappled in real estate with her real estate license and again decided it was not for her. Eventually, she went to work at Beckman Instruments which later became Smith-Kline Beckman where she worked in the accounting department working with their counterparts all over the world. Upon retirement she and her husband Frank moved to Brookings in 1989. She enjoyed Brookings, the people, and beaches.

When not working Ann would ALWAYS have two to three books going as she read constantly. She loved card games with her group of ladies including their weekends away. In addition, she loved to hike, camp, and travel the world. She had visited such places as Japan, Namibia, South Africa, New Zealand, Thailand, Italy, Greece, China, and the majority of Europe.

But most of all she truly enjoyed her family, she would offer her opinion freely, she would share her life experiences constantly with always a good heart and a wise intuition.

She enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren, excited and energized by their lives, hobbies, and activities as they grew.

She will be missed by her many longtime friends from all over and her family including Ian and Carol Leonard of Brookings, Or; Scot and Susan Leonard of Portland, Or; and her grandchildren Hanna Leonard of Beaverton, Or; Emma Leonard of Medford, Or; Natalie Leonard and William Leonard, of Portland, Or. Mike Kennedy and Peter Kennedy of Brookings and Andrew Kennedy of Oakland, Ca. She is preceded in death by her husband Frank Leonard, her brother Roy Longden of Manchester, England, and her sister Barbara Kennedy of Brookings, Or. A memorial service will be scheduled at Brookings Presbyterian Church at a later date with announcement made in the Pilot. Cremation is under the direction of Redwood Memorial Chapel.

Scott Stewart Northrup 8/12/1964 - 10/23/2023 Scott Stewart Northrup, 59, was born in Rochester, New York, died October 23, 2023. He graduated from McQuaid Jesuit High School in 1982 and received his bachelor’s degree from Alfred University in 1986 as a biology major.

He was born August 12, 1964, to Linda and Charles Northrup. He is survived by his father, Charles Northrup, his mother, Linda Reheem, his younger brother Curt Northrup, his son Gage Northrup, and his daughter Kelsa Northrup.

On October 8, 1989, he married Bonnie Bruce, who also survives him. Shortly after getting married, they moved to Bloomington, MN so Scott could attend Northwestern College of Chiropractic. His son, Gage, was born in September 1992, and Scott graduated from chiropractic college in 1993.

After graduating, the now Dr. Northrup moved to Eastern Oregon as an associate at four clinics with Dr. Willard Bertrand, an established wide-scope chiropractor.

With that experience, he purchased Dr. Edmund Samuels’ practice in May of 1994. Two months later, he welcomed his daughter Kelsa to the world. Dr. Northrup continued his post doctorate degree and became a chiropractic internist – DABCI. Scott had a true love of music and was the drummer in the band Sans Profit. He was one of the biggest fans of the rock band, RUSH, and enjoyed attending concerts with both his kids. Although he played multiple instruments, his true passion was for the drums. A total animal lover, Scott owned three Dobermans in his lifetime, (Cane, Dixie, and Grace) and loved them almost as much as his family. We believe all three of them were waiting with tails wagging when Scott arrived in heaven.

Senators sue Oregon Senate president, secretary of state over absences JULIA SHUMWAY Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article Three Oregon Republican senators sued Democratic Senate President Rob Wagner and Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade in federal court, marking the latest in a series of attempts by Republicans who shut down the Legislature for six weeks to subvert a voter-approved law and run for reelection.

The federal lawsuit filed

by Sens. Brian Boquist, Cedric Hayden and Dennis Linthicum, along with three county Republican central committees and two voters, joins a state lawsuit filed by Linthicum and four other senators to block a ruling from Secretary of State LaVonne GriffinValade that disqualified several senators from filing for reelection based on Measure 113.

The state case rests on how the court interprets the text of Measure 113, a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2022 to prevent any lawmakers with 10 or more unexcused absences from serving another term. The senators who sued in state court contend that they’re ineligible for the term after their next term because the measure wasn’t worded clearly.

But the federal lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Eugene, is based on the U.S. Constitution, with Boquist, Hayden and Linthicum arguing that Wagner and Griffin-Valade infringed on their First Amendment right to free expression and Fourteenth Amendment guarantee of equal protection under the law.

“Senator plaintiffs were punished for exercising their First Amendment rights and their punishment snowballed into additional constitutional violations,” the plaintiffs’ attorneys wrote in their complaint.

They’re seeking a court ruling clearing them to run for reelection and declaring that exercising a constitutional right to

Fast Fact The federal lawsuit joins an ongoing state case from Republican senators who want to run for reelection. protest is a valid reason to miss Senate floor sessions.

Spokespeople for Griffin-Valade and Wagner did not immediately provide comments responding to the lawsuit Monday evening.

Boquist, Hayden and Linthicum are three of the 10 Republican senators – a third of the Senate – who skipped six weeks of Senate floor sessions as part of a protest over controversial bills on abortion, guns and transgender health care.

Because Oregon’s unusual quorum rules require twothirds of lawmakers to be present to conduct any business, the protesting Republican senators stopped the Senate from passing any bills during the walkout.

Republicans in the minority in the House and Senate have increasingly relied on walkouts to block Democrats from passing bills in recent years, leading a coalition of unions and progressive groups to put Measure 113 on the ballot. Some Democratic lawmakers are now looking at a different constitutional amendment to change the quorum requirement and eliminate walkouts altogether.

Measure 113 amended the state constitution to declare that any lawmaker who misses 10 or more legislative floor sessions “without permission or excuse” is ineligible to serve another term. The senators contend that they had excuses, but Wagner didn’t acknowledge them.

“Only the defendant Senate President Rob Wagner determines if an absent member has permission to be absent or not,” the complaint said. “There are no laws or rules putting legislators on notice of what category of absence is ‘unexcused.’

There are no historical

LaVonne Valade

indicators. There is no hearing process. There are no provisions for an appeal process.”

As a matter of practice, senators turn in forms requesting an excused absence and providing a reason, and Wagner checks a box indicating whether they’re excused or not excused. Historically, the Senate president and House speaker excuse absences – a notable exception in 2022 was former Republican state Sen. Dallas Heard, who was marked as absent most days after he refused to comply with the Senate’s COVID mask policy.

When Republican senators began their walkout on May 3, Wagner marked some senators as excused and others as absent, depending on the language of their requests.

For instance, Sen. Bill Hansell, R-Athena, was excused to accompany Gov. Tina Kotek on a tour, and Hayden was marked absent when he requested an excused absence to protest.

On May 5, Wagner announced that he would only excuse absences for an “extraordinary circumstance.”

Two lawmakers, one Democrat and one Republican, continued receiving excused absences for ongoing medical treatment, and Boquist received excused absences when a waterline burst on his rural property.

But most senators, Democrats and Republicans, were marked “absent” when they missed floor sessions for reasons including illness, family health issues, attending religious services, officiating a family member’s out-ofstate wedding, visiting out-of-state family

and attending a child’s graduation, according to an independent report from an attorney investigating workplace harassment complaints Hayden and Sen. Lynn Findley, R-Vale, filed against Wagner earlier this year.

The Senate Committee on Conduct, composed equally of Democrats and Republicans, unanimously dismissed those complaints in October. Hayden has a separate complaint with the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, and that investigation must be wrapped up by May 8, 2024.

Hayden, who is a Seventh-day Adventist and observes the Sabbath on Saturdays, and Boquist, a Catholic who attends Mass on Sundays and other Catholic feast days, also argued in the federal lawsuit that they were punished for exercising their religion because Wagner denied their requests to miss work for religious reasons.

The Lane, Klamath and Polk county Republican central committees joined the lawsuit, as did former Republican candidate John Swanson, who resides in Boquist’s district, and Klamath County Republican Party Chair Rejeana Jackson, who lives in Linthicum’s district. The plaintiffs are represented by conservative attorneys Elizabeth Jones of Salembased Capitol Legal Services, Vance Day of Powell Butte and Indiana attorney James Bopp.

The lawsuit was filed Nov. 6.

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc. Razor clamming is now closed from Cape Blanco to the Oregon/California border, according to the Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW).

Recent razor clam samples indicate levels of domoic acid (a marine biotoxin) are above the safety threshold.

Razor clam harvesting is open from the Washington border to Tillamook Head and is open from Seal Rock to Cape Blanco.

Mussel harvesting and bay clamming is open statewide. Crabbing is open in bays and estuaries coastwide, however recreational ocean crabbing is closed through Nov. 30.

Domoic acid is produced by algae and originates in the ocean. ODA will continue testing for shellfish toxins at least twice per month, as tides and weather permit.

Send community event information to pilotofficemgr@countrymedia.net.

Reopening an area closed for biotoxins requires two consecutive tests with results below the closure limit.

For more information call ODA’s shellfish biotoxin hotline at (800) 448-2474, the ODA Food Safety Program at (503) 986-4720 or visit the ODA Recreational Shellfish Biotoxin Closures website. Contact ODFW for recreational license requirements, permits, rules, and limits.

T.S. No. 23004776-1 CA APN: 122-260-006-000 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 09/12/2006. 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. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: SHARON A. WOLD, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN Duly Appointed Trustee: ZBS Law, LLP Deed of Trust Recorded on 10/20/2006, as Instrument No. 20067105 of Official Records of Del Norte County, California; Date of Sale: 11/29/2023 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the steps of the County Recorders office, 981 H St. Crescent City, CA 95531 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $43,873.58 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 211 SALMON BERRY CTCRESCENT CITY, CA 95531-5114 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. A.P.N #.: 122-260-006-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.

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 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com using the file number assigned to this case 23004776-1 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: 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 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com using the file number assigned to this case 23004776-1 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.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: James Johnson Case Number: PB23-7057 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of James Johnson A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Alex Johnson, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte.

The petition for probate requests that: Alex Johnson be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This Authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: December 1, 2023 Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

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

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.

DEQ opens public comments for city’s wastewater permit STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) invites the public to provide written comments on the conditions of the City of Brooking’s proposed water quality permit, known officially as a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.

Summary Subject to public review and comment, DEQ intends to renew the proposed water quality permit, which allows the Brookings Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to discharge wastewater to the Pacific Ocean and apply biosolids to a hydrangea farm owned

by Oregon Hydrangea Co. About the facility The City of Brookings has applied for a water quality permit renewal for the Brookings WWTP located at 905 Wharf St. in Brookings. DEQ last renewed this permit on Jan. 1, 2019. The facility treats domestic wastewater

for the City of Brookings and the nearby district of Harbor.

The facility is subject to effluent limits for the following pollutants: Biological Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids, pH, Fecal Coliform bacteria, and Enterococcus bacteria.

The facility discharges to the Pacific Ocean in the cove to the east of Chetco Point Park. The Pacific Ocean is not listed as impaired (category 4 or 5) for any pollutants according to the most recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agencyapproved integrated report for Oregon. The proposed permit reflects effluent limits established through reasonable potential analysis and technology based effluent limits.

The most recent DEQ inspection of the Brookings WWTP was on Nov. 14, 2019. DEQ did not identify violations during this inspection. Brookings WWTP has had no water quality violations in the past permit term.

The facility also holds a 1200-Z Industrial Stormwater permit from

DEQ.

No. The draft permit

DEQ evaluates types and amounts of pollutants and the water quality of the surface water or groundwater where the pollutants are proposed to be discharged and determines permit requirements to ensure the proposed discharges will meet applicable statutes, rules, regulations and effluent guidelines of Oregon and the Clean Water Act. For this proposed permit action, DEQ evaluated the renewal application, all previous permits and fact sheets and associated administrative records, regional water quality data and research, discharge monitoring reports and attachments submitted by the permittee, all available mixing zone studies and memos, the current biosolids management plan, all available compliance and enforcement documents in

for all winter steelhead anglers fishing in the Rogue Basin or on the south coast from Dec. 1 to April 30, 2024. A separate wild winter steelhead harvest tag is required to keep wild winter steelhead in this area.

Anglers should note that

wild harvest regulations vary, and some locations don’t open to wild winter steelhead until after Dec. 1.

Those purchasing daily or multi-day licenses must have a valid ODFW ID number which is required to purchase a validation (do

not use “guest checkout.”)

Pre-paid daily licenses do not qualify.

Visit the Rogue-South Coast Steelhead Validation webpage for more details on where the validation and harvest tag are required, and answers to frequently asked

What types of pollutants does the permit regulate?

This permit sets conditions for how the facility deals with the following pollutants: Biological Oxygen Demand, Total Suspended Solids, pH, Fecal Coliform bacteria, and Enterococcus bacteria.

DEQ also requires the permittee to maintain a biosolids management/ land application plan.

As part of this permit renewal, these plans have been updated and are on public notice. The facility treats wastewater solids to produce biosolids for beneficial reuse on Oregon Hydrangea Company’s hydrangea farm located in Brookings. The biosolids program including the beneficial use sites are described in the biosolids management/land application plan.

Would the draft permit change the amount of pollution the facility is allowed to release?

would not change the amount of pollution the facility is allowed to release.

How did DEQ determine permit requirements?

the administrative record, records of communications with the permittee, and other documents in contained within the administrative record.

DEQ relied solely on these documents and made no other discretionary decisions for the permit action.

How does DEQ monitor compliance with the permit requirements?

This permit will require the facility to monitor pollutants discharged using approved monitoring practices and standards.

DEQ reviews the facility’s discharge monitoring reports to check for compliance with permit limits.

By email: trinh.hansen@ deq.oregon.gov DEQ will hold a public hearing if it receives written requests for a hearing during the public comment period from at least 10 people or from an organization representing at least 10 people.

DEQ will consider and respond to all comments received and may modify the proposed permit based on comments.

Submit comments by sending an email or using mail service addressed to the permit coordinator listed below. Send written comments to: Trinh Hansen, DEQ Water Quality Permit Coordinator By mail: 4026 Fairview Industrial Drive SE Salem, OR 97302

Recall Continued from Page 1 when decisions affecting funding or legal decisions are required,” Schreiber told The Pilot in an earlier published interview. “Those decisions, which are often ‘short notice’ are normally made by the city council.

If the city council lacks a quorum, those important decisions would likely be made by the city manager.”

Brookings City Manager Janell Howard did not directly answer questions emailed to her by The Pilot immediately following the Nov. 7 Special Election about the next steps following the recall process.

Instead, Howard provided specific sections of the City Charter, including Section 20: Vacancies: Filling, which is listed in this

article.

Howard also provided a link to the state’s recall manual, which describes in detail the process before the election. Howard’s email to The Pilot also contained this last statement in response to our question about who’s in charge at city hall during the recall transition.

“The public officer continues to perform the duties of the office until the result of the election is officially declared by the elections official, which must be no later than 35 days after the election is held,” the statement read.

“The county clerk will prepare an abstract of the votes and deliver it to the elections official authorized to order the recall not later than the 27th day after the election.”

What prompted the recall The recall election was triggered following collection of more than 463 voter signatures each for three council petitions.

Dennis Triglia, is chief petitioner for the recall of Hedenskog. Triglia, a former Brookings city councilor, was joined by Henry “Hank” Cunningham, chief petitioner to recall Schreiber, and Debra Worth, chief petitioner to recall Morosky.

All three said the reinstatement of Howard as Brookings city manager prompted them to file the recall petitions.

Triglia’s petition to recall Hedenskog says in part that, “Against strong public opinion, Hedenskog has insisted on keeping Janell

Howard as city manager, with whom he has had a long-standing relationship.”

Triglia’s petition states that, “Hedenskog has squandered an excessive amount of hard-earned taxpayer dollars in legal fees, reports and investigations.”

Cunningham’s petition claims that, “Schreiber persuaded other councilors to vote for a permanent reinstatement of Howard, approved by a narrow 3-2 majority” and that “public confidence has suffered.”

Worth says in her petition to recall Morosky that, “Ms. Morosky has flip-flopped on voting out and then voting to retain Ms. Howard” and “the reputation of the city has been damaged and there is no confidence in the three members of the

The multiple missions of the service here predominantly range from rough water rescue, maritime environmental protection, law enforcement, boating safety, and implementation of commercial fishing rules.

Those duties are carried out with a vessel fleet including a 47-foot motor light boat (MLB), primarily used to tow-in stranded boats, it’s also the station’s primary vessel for rough-sea rescues. Coast Guardsmen call it “The 47.”

While Station Chetco River’s rescues are not as frequent as ports north of Brookings, and the law enforcement duties are described as “pretty quiet down here” by Chief Boatswain’s Mate Allen Churchill, the crews often confront seas conditions “when the weather is the worst.”

Heading up the crews are

the elite Coasties known as Surfmen. Again, that title is used for both men and women. These are Coastguardsmen assigned to “protect our crew and help or save the people we’re going out to get” said Churchill, one of six to seven who might be at the station, with a usual complement of about 30 total crew.

The training for the job is rigorous and ongoing, the most important segment conducted during winter months, October through April, “we watch the weather” said Churchill, “we take advantage of every training opportunity we can.” That can involve heavy weather “14-to-18foot seas is the most I’ve actually towed in, it can be pretty challenging… and then it gets more challenging when you get to the river, because you’ve got to deal with the elements

Watch the registration numbers month by month and see whether Democrats start picking up in the year ahead, leading up to the 2024 presidential election.

If they do, traditional results are likely to appear. But the parties will have to work

for support. It’s soft enough that it could falter if it’s not well tended.

The numbers reflect the trend of people becoming disenchanted with major parties in a non-presidential election year while turning

towards them when the office of president is on the ballot.

It also shows that as steadily Democratic as Oregon can seem on a surface level – and generally has been when voters weigh in with their ballots – that the blue majority rides

“The City of Gold Beach has worked hard in recent years to find housing solutions of all kinds,” Gold Beach Mayor Tamie Kaufman said. “I am excited that Brookings CORE Response has taken the initiative to use a property for veterans

housing. We have a large number of veterans in our community, many of whom need both housing and support, which this project provides. Additionally, the project’s support for culturally specific veterans is amazing.”

The application process was competitive, according to the OHCS, which

received 17 applications, amounting to over $94 million in funding requests.

OHCS expressed gratitude to the internal and external scoring committees for their diligent evaluation of the applications.

Ve t e r a n s Housing Project is acquisition and rehabilitation of a former motel. The project will provide 18 units of housing for veterans in Gold Beach.

There will be an onsite community center with a kitchen, gathering space and laundry facilities. Offices for service provision will be located across the street from the site. Other amenities include internet access, exercise facilities and a sport court.

Tolowa Dee-Ni’ Nation will work with the project owner, Brookings CORE Response to provide culturally specific services for Tribal veterans.

The petitioners outlined their motivation for the recall as based on Hedenskog, Schreiber and Morosky each voting to reinstate Howard as city manager after she was arrested on July 4, 2022, for theft at a local business.

“Howard spent seven months on paid leave before being reinstated to her job in early February, despite strong public opposition.”

A Brookings police officer resigned, multiple Brookings city employees wrote a letter in protest, and council chambers were packed with citizens, many of whom implored the council not to reinstate Howard, the petitioners

stated.

Since the law, more homes, said Jimmy Jones, housing at an $1,875 rent.

JULIA SHUMWAY Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article Landlords are filing more court evictions monthly than they did before the COVID pandemic, though the number of evictions trended down after the Legislature passed a law giving tenants more time to make up late rent.

That’s according to a presentation lawmakers on the Senate Housing and Development Committee heard from the Oregon Law Center, which advocated for eviction protections.

money for emergency rent assistance: The $88 million lawmakers set aside this spring is on pace to run out by next summer, with about a year left in the two-year budget cycle.

By the numbers

In 2019, Oregon landlords filed an average of about 1,560 eviction suits each month. A pandemic-related eviction moratorium lasted through June 2021, and tenants with pending applications for rent assistance were protected from eviction through June 2022.

Between October 2022 and March 2023, landlords filed an average of more than 2,000 evictions each month, and 87% of them were for not paying rent.

House Bill 2001, which took effect in late March, requires landlords to give tenants 10 days notice when filing for eviction for nonpayment of rent, rather than the previously allowed 72 hours. Those notices must include information on where tenants can find rent assistance and legal assistance for court proceedings. And the new law extended eviction court deadlines, giving tenants

eviction filings have ended with dismissals – landlords get paid and tenants stay in their homes. About 50% of cases were dismissed in September, compared to 28% of cases in January, according to the Oregon Law Center.

“The outcomes for tenants are far better than they were during the time period when there was no protection in place earlier this year,” Hebb said.

Housing advocates have pushed for more rent assistance because it’s cheaper to keep people in their homes than to rehouse families who have been

executive director of the Mid-Willamette Valley Community Action Agency.

The average two-bedroom apartment rent in Salem is $1,500, he said, but many of the people who receive aid are paying closer to $1,875 per month.

People who benefit most from rent assistance usually earn too much to qualify for other aid, like Section 8 vouchers, but they don’t make enough to afford ever-increasing rents.

“It’s those individuals who don’t qualify for those resources, just the next tick up on that income scale,” Jones said.

Lawmakers are expected to approve more money for housing production and homelessness assistance during the 35day legislative session that begins in February.

OHA urges using protective measures for infants against RSV State health officials urge Oregonians to practice everyday preventive measures to protect infants from respiratory syncytial virus, amid a national shortage of the new RSV immunization called nirsevimab.

One of three new RSV immunizations released at the start of the 2023– 2024 respiratory virus season, nirsevimab – known commercially as Beyfortus, made by Sanofi – is a monoclonal antibody injection that has been in limited supply since it became available this fall.

“There has been greaterthan-expected demand for this new immunization against RSV,” OHA Health Officer and State Epidemiologist Dean Sidelinger said.

Sidelnger said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has told the state that the supply shortage is not due to any manufacturing issues, but instead due to an underestimation of the demand for nirsevimab following its release.

“While we know this shortage may be disappointing for parents who are taking steps to protect their babies from RSV, we do have other tools available to help protect infants through the fall and winter, “ Sidelinger said.

Until national supplies for nirsevimab increase, health officials recommend people in Oregon take other steps to reduce risk of RSV transmission to infants, who are most at risk for severe illness, including hospitalization and death.

Pregnant people who get a vaccination for RSV when they are 32 to 36 weeks pregnant will pass protection on to their baby so their child will not need to receive nirsevimab after they are born.

“Up to 3% of Oregon infants are hospitalized each year with RSV,” OHA Medical Director for Respiratory Viral Pathogens Melissa Sutton said. “As the holiday season approaches and we gather with family and friends, RSV is expected to increase in our communities. Now is the time to plan how you will protect newborns and other young children you might be around as you gather with friends and family members.”

According to Sutton, that means using the same preventive measures that protected people during the pandemic—staying home and limiting contact with others when sick, wearing a mask, covering coughs and sneezes, washing hands,

cleaning frequently touched surfaces—and encouraging pregnant people and certain people 60 and older to get a new adult RSV vaccine.

“We know it’s protective to wear a mask around a newborn, especially for family members meeting that baby for the first time,” Sutton said. “Masks are very effective at reducing transmission risk and keeping that child safe.”

The CDC shared interim guidance in late October with states that includes recommending vaccine providers prioritize their remaining doses of nirsevimab for: Infants younger than 6 months.

American Indian and Alaska Native infants younger than 8 months and those 8 months to 19 months old living in remote regions.

Infants younger than 8 months with underlying medical conditions.

The CDC also recommends vaccine providers suspend nirsevimab use in children 8 months to 19 months old if they qualify for palivizumab, a preventive antibody available since 1998 for use only in medically complex infants or those born prematurely.

The federal agency also stated that clinicians should offer the new adult RSV vaccine Abrysvo (made

by Pfizer) to pregnant patients, letting them know that nirsevimab may not be available for their infants after giving birth. Either nirsevimab for infants or maternal vaccination are recommended, but not both, because both provide protection to the infant.

Abrysvo is available to pregnant people at 32 to 36 weeks’ gestation during September through January, and for people 60 and older.

A second vaccine, Arexvy, is available for those 60 and older. OHA officials say the supply of these new vaccines in Oregon is stable, although shortages of any new product are not uncommon as demand may be difficult to predict. “ We understand parents are frustrated over nirsevimab’s limited availability, but this shortage will not be permanent and access to the RSV immunizations will improve,” Sidelinger said.

“Until supply improves, remember those basic prevention methods for keeping infants and others safe during respiratory season, and getting your influenza, COVID-19 and adult RSV vaccines.”
