Brookings, Oregon

Brookings Council begins termination of city manager civil servants’ tenure. Howard’s charges were reduced, and following a public apology has continued to serve as city manager despite the elephant often in the room.

At the most recent meeting, the council met in executive session to further discuss the issue, but not actions were taken in public.

Business moved on immediately following the vote at the regular meeting, as another motion was authorized to bring consultation to city hall.

“The hope is to look for improvements that can be made so that the city can operate more efficiently, and just to have some resilience. So as staff changes, the infrastructure is set up such that people can still operate efficiently and effectively, without completely relying too much on an individual,” said Councilman Malmberg on bringing in consultants.

Last week, the Brookings City Council passed a unanimous motion to direct the city attorney to begin separation negotiations with the current City Manager Janell Howard. Howard has been serving as city manager since taking administrative leave in the summer of 2022, after she was charged with third-degree theft.

The shoplifting scandal brought fierce public comment and division to City Hall.

Motivated in large part by the scandal, successful recall elections opened three vacancies on the council, including the mayoral seat. Those vacancies we’re filled in late December 2023 with Councilor Isaac Hodges entering the mayor’s office, and Phoebe Pereda and Clayton Malmberg joining the council.

The motion passed quickly, with no discussion outside of the brief motion itself. This marks the end of a drawn-out period of division on the City Council, which has seen the end of many

Brookings house destroyed in electrical fire

BY NATE SCHWARTZ The Pilot

The Cagel’s family home was decimated in an electrical fire on December 28, leaving the family with nothing but what could be carried out of the blaze. Though no one was injured, including a safe escape for the family dog, the blaze claimed the entirety of the home, leaving anything left standing coating in a thick layer of black soot.

The Brookings Fire Department was reached out to for comment, but we have yet to receive an exact cause, other than that it was an electrical fire. Despite being insured, the magnitude of the damage has left the Cagle family with the massive burden of rebuilding their life out of pocket.

New lecture explores Oregon’s prehistoric whales Leviathan,” McLaughlin said.

This biblical sea monster was related to a sperm whale, but it was about twice the size of the modern sperm whale, she said.

It also had far larger teeth and likely ate Megalodon sharks.

“So the largest shark to have ever lived was whale food – and we had things like that swimming around off the coast of Oregon,” the paleontologist said.

McLaughlin will be teaching her audience about these prehistoric whales and more during the kick off of a popular Geology Lecture Series returning to Southwestern Oregon Community College.

Her presentation will take the audience on a tour through deep time on the Oregon coast to investigate everything from miniature fossil dolphins to the oldest baleen whale to fearsome predators of the past.

The SWOCC geology lecture series first gained popularity from now-retired geologist Ron Metzger.

Curry County residents are invited to a watch party featuring Southwestern Oregon Community College paleontologist Win McLaughlin.

She is introducing the community to a part of Oregon’s history that they likely never knew existed. McLaughlin’s presentation “Whales of the Oregon Coast – Present, Past, and Really Past,” will explore Oregon when it was largely underwater.

McLaughlin said the whales from that time period are very different from the whales we see off the coast today.

“One of the big questions that I get asked a lot as a paleontologist is, ‘Would you time travel if you could?’ And the answer is, ‘Absolutely not.’ Most of these fossilized creatures are terrifying,” McLaughlin said.

Prehistoric whales are not the mostly-peaceful giants we think of today, she said, they are “terrifying beasties.”

“One of the fossil whales that we are starting to believe lived off the coast of Oregon 15 million years ago, is literally named

Guest Columns HOLY COW! HISTORY: The Bonapartes’ Gifts to Your Kitchen

BY J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

The recent feature film “Napoleon” has people taking a fresh look at The Little Corporal and his namesake nephew.

Napoleon Bonaparte left the world a boatload of legacies. He radically revolutionized military organization and thinking in the early 19th century. His Napoleonic Civil Code profoundly affected government institutions in France and much of Europe for decades after his death. He popularized (but did not create) the famous hand-in-waistcoat portrait pose.

And his family eventually gave the world several items that may be in your kitchen right now.

Napoleon is remembered for supposedly saying, “An army marches on its stomach.” Talk to anyone who has worn

the uniform, and they’ll tell you what was true in Napoleon’s time still holds true today. A commander who keeps his troops properly fed gets the most out of them.

In the Napoleonic Era, army regulations called for soldiers to receive a daily ration that included 24 ounces of bread; a half-pound of meat; either an ounce of rice or two ounces of dried beans, peas or lentils (depending on availability); a quart of wine; a gill of brandy (about a quarter pint); and a half gill of vinegar.

The French forerunners of GI grunts had gourmand tastebuds.

(However, those rations were received only when supplies were to be had and could be delivered to an army on the move.

More often than not, French soldiers subsisted on salted meat and stale bread.)

Satisfying his soldiers’ tastebuds would go a long way in keeping order in the ranks as French forces kept busy overrunning much of Europe.

Napoleon wasn’t the kind of guy who let problems stand in his way.

When he wanted something, he either obliterated obstacles or found a way around them.

And so it was with supplying his men with special treats. He offered a prize of 12,000 francs to whoever could devise a better way to store and preserve food to feed his soldiers.

Nicolas Appert, known today as the Father of Food Science, rose to the challenge. Until the late 1700s, people had difficulty keeping food for an extended period. Sure, they had known for centuries that salting or drying helped it last longer. But it wasn’t fun getting through a long winter on dried meat, fruits

and vegetables.

Appert gave the world the first modern food preservation techniques.

He was a pioneer in using airtight canning to preserve comestibles. (Though he started using empty champagne bottles instead of the tin cans we know today.)

He won Napoleon’s prize, and fame soon followed.

But the Bonapartes weren’t finished making contributions to culinary culture. Half a century later, the original Napoleon’s nephew was sitting on the throne of a revived French Empire. And he was growing tired of hearing his soldiers complain about their chow.

Napoleon III realized something extra was needed, something that was essential to the French palate. An old joke reminds us that the three secrets to French cooking are “Butter, butter, and more butter.”

But there was a problem, and it was a biggie. Butter must be kept refrigerated.

Because it easily melts.

And when that happens, it makes a big mess. Hardly an ideal situation for field kitchens.

On top of that, France was experiencing a butter shortage, forcing the poor to go without their beloved butter.

So, like his famous namesake, Napoleon III issued a challenge in 1869: Come up with a new butter substitute. And just as had happened before, another inventor stepped forward.

Hippolyte MègeMouriès was a French chemist. He mixed processed beef tallow with skimmed milk. He tinkered with it a little more and found it made a good spread on bread and could be stored at higher temperatures than traditional butter. And it was much cheaper to produce than

the real thing.

He called his discovery oleomargarine. You and I know it by its shortened name, margarine.

Two centuries later, you’ll find ample canned food and margarine stocks at your local grocery store.

Health food advocates and cooking purists may lift their noses at both in contempt, but food prices make each look more appealing to many consumers these days.

Canned foods and margarine help many Americans make it through tough times. And we have two French emperors from long ago to thank for it.

They struggle to come to America: One woman’s story

BY LAURA PRITCHETT Guest Column

Exactly what causes people to leave their homeland and make a difficult trek of 3,000 miles?

A young woman I’ll call Jhovid, who came here from Venezuela, has asked me to listen to her answer, so that I and others may understand.

Her hair is neatly ponytailed, her clothes tidy, she looks composed — but her food is uneaten and tears streak her face. She tells me that people are starving to death in Venezuela. She looks at me to make sure I understand. Starving.

We know about the dire conditions generally, and we know that our Colorado town of Fort Collins, like many, has absorbed large numbers of newly arrived immigrants who fled for their safety. But she hopes someone will bear witness to her particular journey, and so we gather with my

LAURA PRITCHETT friend, bilingual author Laura Resau, who has collaborated with other South American women to help them share their stories.

Jhovid is one of the many Venezuelan refugees who climbed off a bus months ago with no coat, food, shelter or contacts.

She’s 32, she tells us, and graduated from college with a degree in business administration, but Vene-

zuela was sinking economically as she was growing up. Jobs were scarce and gangs were everywhere.

She traveled with her sister to Colombia, where they worked for five years in a tennis shoe factory.

But economic conditions soured there too, so the women went to Chile, traveling 23 days by foot and bus.

“We were crossing a banana plantation on the Ecuador-Peru border and men approached, asked for valuables, but we didn’t have any, so they said, ‘You’ll have to pay with something else, then.’”

I wince, predicting what is to come, but she offers a small smile. “I gave them my cheap cell phone and they left.”

Luck, kindness and perseverance seem to be the themes of her story, where, time after time, good people—in law enforcement, nonprofits, people living in poverty themselves—of-

fered help.

Like the time that immigration officials in Chile “gave us medical help and food, and we got jobs in fruit processing.” She liked the factory, the country, and sending money to her family.

Pero después. But then.

Her father, a retired police officer, who had been kidnapped and rescued, developed Parkinson’s disease.

Her family was desperate for help. Jhovid knew that if she could make it to the U.S.-Mexico border where there was a “Very Famous Hole” through the border wall, she could get to America and find work that paid more.

For the next three months, the sisters traveled north, walking and hitchhiking through three countries. In Panama, they foraged for food in the jungle with los animales.

Worst of all, her sister became very “sick from the river, because the river was

contaminated from dead people.”

But then her eyes light up: A kind person gave them food, medicine, tickets to Costa Rica. Then it was on to Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico. They hid under cars at a mechanic shop to avoid the Mexican Mafia.

Caught twice by immigration patrols in southern Mexico, they were sent to towns near the Guatemalan border.

By the third time, she knew how to avoid la migra, and after making it through the Very Famous Hole, they arrived in El Paso. Finally, she and others were bused to Denver, where a stranger directed them to a homeless shelter, and later, a bus to Fort Collins.

Various groups stepped up with lightning speed, including churches and the nonprofits Fuerza Latina and Alianza NORCO. She’s grateful for all the

help but is happy to have found a full-time job.

As Jhovid wraps up her story, I breathe out a sigh. This woman walked thousands of miles through country after country because she had to. Determination and the kindness of strangers helped her succeed. But as I listen, I think of a family member’s response to immigrants— one echoed by many in this country: “They’re ruining the country, why would you want to help them?”

My answer: Why wouldn’t you respect their desperate quest for a decent life?

Search and rescue team recovers man's body On Saturday January 6, the Brookings Police Department notified the Curry County Sheriff’s Office of a call about a suicidal subject at the Thomas Creek Bridge about 10 miles north of Brookings on U.S. Highway 101.

The Oregon State Police had been notified and several deputies responded.

Deputies arrived within a few minutes and did not locate anybody on the bridge but did find a vehicle in the parking lot south of the bridge that was registered to the initial caller. An OSP trooper located some items and information inside the

vehicle that indicated the Lake Oswego man may have jumped from the bridge.

Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Gray arrived and deployed a drone to search under the bridge, but due to the darkness, was not able to locate anything. Due to the dangerous descent to the bottom because of the darkness, it was decided that the Curry County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Team would search under the bridge at first light the next morning.

Deputies remained in the area to search along the roadway.

The Curry County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team worked with Coos Curry Electric to recover a man who jumped off the Thomas Creek Bridge.

On Sunday, January 7, the Curry County Search and Rescue team responded, and one member deployed a drone and located a body in the thick brush below the bridge. Six SAR members descended to the bottom and located the

body. A couple of Coos Curry Electric employees were asked to assist and arrived with a boom truck and line pulling machine.

Once the ground SAR team located the man and prepared him to be moved, the Coos Curry Electric

Team used the line pulling machine and boom truck to raise the body from the bottom to the top of the bridge. Members of the Oregon Department of Transportation were on scene to shut down traffic on the bridge while the re-

Obituaries Mary Josephine Friesen 7/28/1941 - 12/17/2023

Mary Josephine Herrick Friesen, better known as “Jo” to her loved ones, made her transition with her loving husband by her side at 4:44pm on December 17th, 2023 at Regency Care of Rogue Valley due to complications following a stroke.

Jo was born July 28th, 1941, to Joe Herrick and Myrtle Margarette Munter in Aitkin, Minnesota. She was raised by her aunt and her uncle Irene and Roy Sandell in Glen, Minnesota, with many visits to her natural mother.

Her mother remarried in 1949 when Jo was 8, and Jo moved to Minnetonka with her mother for her school years.

Jo ran away when she was 15 and went back to live with her auntie and uncle where she felt safe.

In 1958 she moved to Petaluma, CA to live with her only sibling, Marilyn Sisler, where she finished high school. In Jo’s words, Marilyn “saved [her] life”.

As a young adult, Jo worked for Pacific Bell Telephone Company in California. During her 18

years there, she met Jeff Dodson. They married in Jan 1963, and she became the stepmother of 3 sons.

She loved those boys as if they were her own.

During her time with the telephone company, Jo moved up from an initial position as a staff clerk, up the ranks to the supervisor of payrolls and marketing assistant. In 1977, Jo and Jeff moved to Oregon, and were soon after divorced.

It was in Oregon where she met the love of her life, David William Friesen, late in 1979.

Jo and Dave were married May 2nd, 1981, at the Pioneer Church in Golden, Oregon.

He had four children who immediately adored her and called her Momma Jo. During their 42 years of marriage, Dave and Jo went on many adventures, including living in Alaska and Mexico, and traveling the Western United States.

Ultimately, in the summer of 1988, Dave and Jo decided to plant their roots and build a home in Gold Beach to enjoy the next chapter of their lives.

In her later years,

Jo continued to travel, including interstate and international trips with her beloved sister. The greatest souvenirs that Jo would bring back were her hilarious and interesting stories of her travels.

But not only did Jo find value in the world, she also added value to the world.

Jo cared for all living things; plants, animals, and humans alike.

She was a magnificent gardener and filled her 1.5 acres with beautiful flowers for her visitors to enjoy.

She was passionate about helping stray animals, and often donated to charitable organizations.

Animals seemed to be drawn to her kind nature.

Beverly Larsson Beverly Louise Larsson went home to be with the Lord on January 1, 2024, at the age of 102. Beverly was born on July 2, 1921, to Cashus and Martha Phillips and had three siblings, William, Bobbie, and Virginia. She attended school in Clatskanie, Newberg, Gold Hill, and graduated from North Bend High School in 1939 with the class Scholarship Medal.

Beverly met Richard “Dick” Larsson at a dance in Marshfield (Coos Bay).

Money came hard back then. As Mom would tell the story, Dick would work to earn a little money to take her on a date and, after dropping her off at her house, he would have to leave his car and walk home until he earned enough money for gasoline and the next date. Dick was persistent in his courtship, and they were married on January 11, 1941. After World War II, they returned to Coos Bay to raise their growing family while Dick worked for Marshall Wells and, later, Coast-to-Coast Hardware stores. Dick’s work had him on the road and away from home too much.

In 1960, they moved to Gold Beach after

She truly cared about others’ wellbeing, she helped others with a smile on her face, and created many lifelong friendships in her community.

Jo was known as a poised hostess and an exceptional cook. She was a marvelous and accomplished artist. She was highly expressive, had a contagious smile, and a zest for life. Jo was beautiful in every sense of the word.

Jo was preceded in death by her sister, Marilyn Louise Sisler of Petaluma, CA, as well as two stepsons, Mark, and Russell “Jeff” Dodson. Surviving

are her husband, David William Friesen, her four children, Barbara Huffman (Stanford) of Gold Beach, Michael William Friesen (Nadean) of Merlin, Pamela Peckham (Rick) of Grants Pass, and Frank Friesen (Angie) of Bend, as well as a Step Son, Peter Dodson.

She also leaves behind 10 grandchildren; Jessica, Kristin, Megan, Corinna Jo, David, Aaron, Kimberly, Holly, Riley, and Daniel, and she was the greatest of great grandmothers to 14 great-grandchildren.

Additionally, Jo had a special relationship with her nieces, Wendy and

Mary, and her nephews, Jonathan, Paul, and Bruce.

In her final days, the love that she had shared with the world was reflected back to her through the ongoing support of her family and cherished friends. Jo will be sincerely missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date TBA.

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Vitamin discovered in rivers may offer hope for salmon of thiamine has potential implications for reducing health impacts on naturally spawning salmon that are suffering from thiamine deficiency complex.”

TDC, an emerging threat to the stability of West Coast salmon populations, has affected salmon and trout in lake systems in northeastern North America and Atlantic salmon in the Baltic Sea. Chinook salmon in the Central Valley have recently been diagnosed with TDC, the researchers note.

Afflicted female salmon that return to rivers and streams to spawn can pass the deficiency on to their hatchlings, which have problems swimming and experience high mortality rates.

“In California, most hatchery-spawning Chinook salmon are treated with thiamine to prevent TDC,” Suffridge said.

“However, it was previously unknown if there was a source of thiamine in the environment that could potentially rescue naturally spawning salmon afflicted with TDC. We have now identified microbially produced thiamine in natural salmon spawning habitats.”

“It's a complicated issue,” Shannon added. “The broader context is that

STEVE LUNDEBERG Guest Article

Oregon State University researchers have discovered vitamin B1 produced by microbes in rivers, findings that may offer hope for vitamin-deficient salmon populations.

The authors say the study in California’s Central Valley represents a novel piece of an important physiological puzzle involving Chinook salmon, a keystone species that holds significant cultural, ecological and economic importance in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

Christopher Suffridge, senior research associate in the Department of Microbiology in the OSU College of Science, and doctoral student Kelly Shannon examined concentrations of thiamine and the microbial communities in rivers of the Sacramento River watershed. Thiamine is the compound commonly referred to as vitamin B1 and is critical to cellular function in all living organisms.

“This study is the first-ever report of thiamine compounds in salmon spawning rivers and the associated gravels where salmon spawn,” Suffridge said. “This source

Central Valley Chinook salmon, as well as some populations of salmon in other places, are becoming thiamine deficient because of shifts in their diet in their feeding grounds.”

Historically, Shannon said, Central Valley Chinook salmon ate a diverse, healthy diet consisting of many different species of prey fish. But in recent years, shifts in the ocean ecosystem have caused northern anchovy populations to explode, meaning they’ve become the primary dietary component for salmon. This change in diet is the likely cause of TDC, he said “Northern anchovies are high in an enzyme called thiaminase that degrades thiamine,” Shannon said.

“So by the time many California Central Valley Chinook salmon are ready to spawn they have been feeding on so many anchovies that they have become deficient in thiamine from the activity of the thiaminase enzyme in anchovies.”

The results of the new study implicate river sediments as likely sources of microbial thiamine, which could supplement early life stages of Chinook salmon that experience TDC, he said. Future studies will

examine to what degree environmental thiamine acquisition by adult Chinook salmon, their incubating eggs and hatched fry could alleviate the negative outcomes caused by TDC. “It was unknown if the vitamin could even be

To help alleviate some of the unfathomable damage, a GoFundMe campaign was started by a cousin of Amber Cagle, Jami Houser.

introduce herself and her work, as well as bring in other professionals from around the nation to talk about relevant geology topics.

“It's sort of my chance to introduce myself to the broader community, ‘Hey, we have a new Ron Metzger in town.’ Ron, but spicier, might be the more accurate description of me,” McLaughlin said.

The SWOCC professor also wants to teach her students, and the community, that there is more to the field of geology than just rocks.

Since her specialty is in paleontology – McLaughlin is going to teach the community about the rich history of fossils in Oregon.

“When someone thinks about fossils, they probably think of Montana or Utah, or going to some big fancy museum. But we have such a really cool story right here in our backyards,” she said.

The “Whales of the Oregon Coast – Present, Past, and Really Past,” presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 17.

Coos County residents can join in-person at the Umpqua Hall lecture room 184 on SWOCC’s Coos Campus, 1988 Newmark Ave. in Coos Bay. Curry County residents can join for a watch party in the Community Room on the Curry Campus, 96082 Lone Ranch Parkway in Brookings.

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.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-23966103-AB Order No.: 230434868-CA-VOI YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 1/7/2005.

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 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 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee. 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. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): CHARLES MINX, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY Recorded: 1/21/2005 as Instrument No. 20050581 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of DEL NORTE County, California; Date of Sale: 2/7/2024 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the stairs of the Southwest Entrance of the Flynn County Administration Building at 981 H St, Crescent City, CA 95531 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $241,536.16 The purported property address is: 130 PINE VIEW CT, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531-9167 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 115310-004-000 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 855 238-5118 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-23-966103AB. 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 855 238-5118, or visit this internet website http:// www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-23-966103-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. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE OWNER-OCCUPANT: Any prospective owner-occupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. 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. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy.

The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

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 fee 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 TENANT: You may have the 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 530-2462727; Toll Free: 844-3336766, or visit this internet website: calforeclosures. biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS#23-3013, to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the street 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 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

the trustee’s information line at 530-246-2727; Toll Free: 844-333-6766, or visit this Internet Website: calforeclosures.biz, using the file number assigned to this case: TS #233013.

Physics & Astronomy Lecture Series: Observational evidence for a gravitational wave background

Southwestern Oregon Community College is excited to present a lecture by Dr. Xavier Siemens, North American Nanohertz Observatory for Gravitational Waves Physics Frontier Center co-director and professor of physics at Oregon State University who will discuss Observational Evidence for a Gravitational Wave Background, on Friday, January 26, at 6:30 p.m. This is a free event; all ages are welcome.

Coos County residents can join in-person in the Umpqua Hall lecture room 184 on the Coos Campus, 1988 Newmark Ave., Coos Bay. Curry County residents can join for a watch party in the Community Room on the Curry Campus, 96082 Lone Ranch Parkway,

Brookings.

Siemens recently reported multiple lines of evidence in favor of a stochastic background of gravitational waves in the NANOGrav 15-year dataset. This result is consistent with findings from other collaborations around the world. In this talk he will discuss the dataset, analyses, and interpretation of the findings, as well as future work. The latter includes a detailed spectral characterization of the signal we have found to better understand its origin, and searches for individual signals that will enable multi-messenger observations of the largest black holes in the universe.

Siemens is a professor of physics at Oregon State University bringing his gravitational wave

research to Oregon from his previous experience at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He received a National Science Foundation Career award in 2010 to continue his team’s work in gravitational wave astronomy. He has been a contributing author to more than 250 papers and has recently focus on multi-messenger astronomy to address many of the overarching big problems in the field.

For those unable to attend, the talk will be streamed at: www.youtube. com/playlist?list=PLLyo3uIvZEJLAv9maSe_ aO8naW3ypdjEO. For more information about the lecture series contact Dr. Aaron Coyner, associate professor of physics, at 541-888-7244.

Curry Community Wildfire Protection Plan being created

Curry County has contracted SWCA Environmental Consultants to develop a 2024 Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP). A CWPP is a plan designed to identify and mitigate wildfire hazards to communities and infrastructure located in the wildland-urban interface (WUI), which is an area located between wildland and human development.

The CWPP makes recommendations for hazardous fuels reduction, public outreach and education, structural ignitability reduction, and fire response capabilities.

In 2008, Curry County completed its first CWPP. The development of the County CWPP has facilitated collaboration among local, state, federal officials, and tribes, as well as non-governmental stakeholders and private citizens. The “2008 Curry County CWPP” reviews, verifies, and/or identifies

potential new priority areas where mitigation measures are needed to protect irreplaceable life, property, and critical infrastructure in the County, from wildfire.

A CWPP is designed to assist Curry County and landowners in ensuring that a future catastrophic wildfire is avoided or mitigated by assessing areas at risk and recommending measures to decrease those risks.

For many years Curry County and partners have been successful in planning and implementing many wildfire mitigation actions, including thousands of acres of hazardous fuel treatment projects on public and private land; organizing public outreach and education campaigns that focus on wildfire prevention and the importance of defensible space; and better preparing communities that are at high to extreme risk of wildfire by

utilizing the Fire Adapted Community concepts.

Much of this work has been achieved through interagency collaboration, working with communities and across ownership boundaries to develop landscape-level wildfire mitigation solutions. This CWPP effort builds upon that long history of collaboration.

The Planning Team is continuing to work together to review and revise the original CWPP to ensure the plan is applicable to the communities it is designed to serve. The goal is that all recommended projects are designed to greatly reduce wildfire risk to residents and ensure that communities can live safely in this fire-prone environment.

Now it is time to review, revise, and refocus previously proposed implementation measures to ensure that the Curry County CWPP remains active and

effective. Additionally, we want to hear from you to understand how Curry County can better plan and prepare for potential wildfires in your community. We kindly ask you to complete this brief survey: https://arcg.is/1i1ie50. This spring, the public will be invited to provide feedback on the Draft Plan.

The CWPP will be a guiding document for fire and emergency managers, as well as agencies who manage land within Curry County.

The CWPP is designed to serve County residents, and we encourage your interest and engagement in the process. For more information, please contact Curry County Emergency Management at curryoem@co.curry.or.us, or Vicky Amato, Project Manager, at vamato@ swca.com or Matt Cook, Assistant Project Manager at matthew.cook@swca. com.

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Officials, locals worry about foggy federal plans for wind farms off Oregon Coast

By LYNNE TERRY

Oregon Capital Chronicle

The sun was peeking through the clouds during a short break in the rain as Nick Edwards was making his way along the Charleston Marina.

Edwards fished along the Oregon Coast for more than 40 years and now owns an 80-foot trawler named the Carter Jon, which commercially fishes Dungeness crab and pink cocktail shrimp.

Near the ramp’s entrance, Edwards ran into his captain, Jordan Murphy. The men exchanged keys, and the conversation quickly turned to floating offshore wind.

“We don’t want that, that’s my perspective,” Murphy said. “It would be a lot of our [fishing] grounds.”

Edwards has been spending a lot of time learning about the hundreds of thousands of acres off the coast of Coos Bay and Brookings where the federal government has pitched the idea of building floating wind turbines for renewable energy.

One of his biggest concerns is how the construction and placement of turbines would impact the ecosystem and fishing grounds in the areas.

Edwards said the Oregon Coast offers a great place to fish because of its abundance of species. He’s worried that could be lost to floating offshore wind.

“We don’t want the demise of our ecosystem to be the unintended consequences of offshore wind,” he said.

It’s a concern that’s been steadily growing in coastal towns that would be most directly affected by any offshore wind project.

While the Biden administration has previously said offshore wind is one way the country can more quickly move away from fossil fuel for its energy needs, Oregonians are demanding answers even as the plan remains in its infancy. Others frustrated with the lack of research, transparency and engagement from the federal government are filling the information gap with their own answers.

The Biden administration announced a goal to create 45 gigawatts of offshore wind energy capacity in the United States by 2035. The announcement came with promises

of tens of thousands of jobs and protection for ocean wildlife. The U.S. Department of Interior’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, or BOEM, is the federal agency charged with identifying, proposing and leasing the ocean areas needed.

In August, after more than a year of gathering data, BOEM proposed more than 200,000 acres across two locations off the coast of Southern Oregon.

The draft wind energy areas would begin about 13 miles offshore and stretch out to about 57 miles from each location.

Picking the potential location is the first step the agency must take before leasing the areas to a developer that would eventually build and install wind turbines.

The current draft wind energy areas are smaller than the original draft area announced in April, which was more than 1.1 million acres. BOEM cut the size of the area after the public complained it was too sprawling.

The recent draft prompted pushback from many local community members, receiving more than 1,100 public comments, as well as calls from Gov. Tina Kotek and state agencies that asked for more research on potential cultural, environmental and wildlife impacts.

County commissioners from Coos, Curry and Douglas counties passed proclamations opposing the floating offshore wind turbines.

John Sweet, one of three Coos County commissioners, said although he helped pass a county proclamation opposing the potential for floating offshore wind, he is still undecided.

“I grew up right on the coast,” he said. “I worked in the ocean transportation business for almost 40 years. So I’m aware of the ocean conditions here and that gave rise to some concern that this might not work.”

When Sweet first heard about the turbines, he thought they might be a good thing for the local community, as offshore wind could bring jobs and potentially cheaper electricity.

But he wondered how BOEM and potential developers would construct and maintain the turbines, as sea conditions

like strong waves and wind currents, as well as salt-water corrosion, could damage electrical components and cables.

Like others, he also wondered about environmental impacts. Most importantly, he said, he wants to avoid big companies coming in and leaving — a cycle well known from the timber industry, “It devastates the community,” he said. “We’ve been there and done that.”

Sweet recalls the aftermath of the timber industry in the 1980s when it would bring jobs and boost the local economy. After all the timber was harvested, he said, there was a “huge exodus” of jobs, leaving families and local businesses without livelihoods.

“I just don’t want to see another cycle like that where it’s a boom and then a bust, and I don’t think we know enough about this to risk that happening,” he said.

Lack of engagement The Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians feel frustrated by the lack of answers, too.

In late October, the tribes passed a resolution opposing floating offshore wind, saying BOEM has repeatedly failed at consulting with the tribes to preserve fishing and other cultural resources.

The opposition wasn’t always the case, Tribal Council Chair Brad Kneaper said.

In 2020, the tribes had no firm position but asked to learn more about what environmental and cultural impacts could occur. In 2022, with still no answers, the tribes passed a resolution limiting their support.

“They’re required by federal law to consult with tribes,” Kneaper said. “I think they have the best intentions to do that as best they can, but they’re not able to.”

Kneaper said the tribes have provided written and verbal comments to BOEM, and have participated in meetings with the agency. Some of the concerns Kneaper has heard from tribal members is the height and potential placement of the floating wind turbines. Some worry the massive machines could destroy viewpoints that are culturally significant to the tribes.

Renewable energy shouldn’t do more harm than good to the current

environment, the tribes said.

“Everything has a consequence,” Kneaper emphasized. “You may call a project a green energy project, a renewable energy project, but what’s the consequences of that?

How do you weigh those consequences against the benefits and do the benefits outweigh the consequences?”

The development process has led some residents to seek their own answers.

Mike Graybill has been spending most of his time reading news articles and research about offshore wind from around the world, as he forecasts how those projects could play out in Southern Oregon.

Graybill was a manager of the South Slough National Estuary Research Reserve in Charleston for 30 years before retiring.

“I felt compelled to do my own research because I had no basis for an opinion,” he said.

Graybill’s self-guided education has led him to give presentations on the South Coast to community members wanting to learn more. Their most common reaction is shock, he said.

“Nobody has an understanding of the scale and the nature of what’s involved. So anytime I’ve given a presentation, I’ve just shown people what it looks like and what’s involved in doing it,” he said. “When people see what’s involved in doing it in this community, they don’t want any part of it.”

In his opinion, floating offshore wind is not the right approach for renewable energy for Oregon.

The state should focus on deploying more solar panels in vast, open farmland rather than deploying offshore wind turbines, he said.

“We really need to focus the conversation on climate, not on jobs and economy,” Graybill added.

“If the conversation is pointed toward what’s the most appropriate role for the state of Oregon to play in this effort to decarbonize, then we should look at the full suite of renewable options and evaluate how Oregon can best contribute.”

Graybill isn’t the only one filling in the information gap.

Over the summer, the Oregon Natural Resources Industries, or ONRI, began sharing information

on its Facebook page and website opposing floating offshore wind turbines.

The group shares links to various news articles and blog posts that oppose offshore wind. It also shares infographics made by a member of its group attempting to describe some of the offshore wind technology, along with “No Windmills” posts and letters of opposition to lawmakers.

ONRI describes itself as a group that “supports, defends, and protects natural resource jobs, families and communities.” The group was founded as an offshoot of Timber Unity, a conservative group backed by the timber industry to oppose climate policies in Oregon.

In 2019 and 2020, Timber Unity rallied truckers to the state Capitol to oppose a program for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and since then the group has inserted itself into other controversial political issues.

Jen Hamaker, president of ONRI, said her group’s position on offshore wind comes from the various research and articles that say how dangerous the technology could be to marine life, as well as speculated potential costs to local utility bills.

“We have all these different groups of people that are coming together for a goal of stopping these wind turbines,” she said.

“We all have different reasons and because of that, this is the biggest groundswell of people that I’ve seen in a long time.”

No one from ONRI lives in Coos Bay or the other communities that would be most directly affected by offshore wind, though Hamaker notes her father was a fisherman off Oregon’s northern coast. Despite a lack of local connection, she said her group shares frustrations with area residents who want more answers from the federal government.

Before BOEM’s public comment deadline in October, Hamaker said she wrote and sent out proclamation guides for local county commissioners to use.

She said proclamations are “an effective tool” that local governments can pass to represent the whole county rather than one public comment.

She and county commissioners agreed that the proclamations were not a

deciding factor in Coos, Curry and Douglas county leaders opposing the federal proposal.

‘Can always do better’ Oregonians’ response to and engagement with the draft wind energy areas gathered the most comments out of the West Coast region, said Doug Boren, BOEM’s Pacific regional director.

“I think we’re getting the message out there that BOEM is here and we really do want the public input,” he said.

Boren admitted there could be more effort in communication and engagement, especially in explaining BOEM’s process.

“I know that I can always do better,” he said.

BOEM’s process is different from what South Coast Oregonians have been used to when large projects are proposed, Boren said, like the 229mile Jordan Cove liquid natural gas pipeline project. Jordan Cove was set to become Oregon’ single largest emitter of greenhouse gases. After more than a decade of processes, permitting and federal environmental reviews, developers decided to pull the plug in late 2021, citing difficulty obtaining critical state permits to move forward.

In BOEM’s case, drafting the areas to propose a sale is the beginning of their process, Boren said.

After proposing the sale, the lessee would do its own surveys of the area, submit a plan to BOEM and then conduct federal environmental reviews.

“That’s where I think some of the questions that stakeholders have [been asking] and the confusion that we’re not disclosing, it’s because we don’t know yet,” he said.

The agency understands people want to know more information before any sale takes place, Boren said, but once that information is available, the community will have another opportunity to submit public comments.

There are also stipulations in the next phase that require the lessee to communicate with local groups, like tribal nations and the fishing industry, so they can have more opportunities to provide input into the development of the plan.

The decision will not be made lightly, Boren said.
