Brookings, Oregon

Council finalizes termination of city manager Police chief chosen to lead city temporarily

extended period of time.

The long debate over Howard’s tenure began back in 2022, after she was charged with third degree theft, charges which were later reduced. Despite the constant debate over her position, Howard continued to carry out her duties in city hall without much fuss. Councilor Clayton Malmberg touched on this during the meeting.

“I did want to take a minute to recognize and appreciate all the hard work Janell has done in the time that she’s served with the city. I know that’s an extended amount of time. She’s very dedicated and very hardworking, and it’s going to be a challenge to find someone as dedicated and hardworking as Janell,” said Malmberg.

Councilwoman Phoebe Pareda spoke to the difficulty of the decision and emphasized that it was not one taken lightly, a sentiment echoed by her fellow council members. With the city manager’s importance to the running of Brookings, it will be a difficult transition. Councilwoman Kristi Fulton recognized this with her comments.

BY NATE SCHWARTZ The Pilot

Brookings City Council held a meeting January 16 to conclude what has been a long saga of deliberation over the continued employment of embattled City Manager Janell Howard. In a unanimous vote, a motion to terminate Howard’s employment at the adjournment of the meeting was passed without major discussion.

The bulk of the meeting was then focused on appointing an acting city manager in the wake of this decision. The council chose to air on the side of experience once again in their proposed appointment. They settled upon the current acting Police Chief Kelby McCrae.

McCrae would be operating in the position pro tempore as the council begins to conduct the search for a more permanent, contracted city manager. McCrae is currently the longest serving department head in Brookings.

The council spoke about the importance of McCrae’s knowledge of the city’s departments and operations. They also stressed that the search for the new city manager should be expedited to avoid keeping the chief from their public safety duties for an

Herzog, Hollinger file to run for commissioner’s Position 2 seat

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The Pilot

A Port of Gold Beach commissioner and member of the Central Curry School Board is planning to take on John Herzog in the race for Position 2 county commissioner in Curry County.

Patrick Hollinger of Gold Beach filed for the Position 2 seat on September 15, the same day Herzog filed for re-election.

John Herzog Hollinger, who is self-employed in lodge and guide service, has a bachelor’s degree from Humboldt State University.

Herzog, who over the last four years went from the newcomer on the board to the veteran now, filed to run for a second term, also on September 15.

The two men will face the voters in the primary election in May. The deadline to file for the May primary is the middle of March, so all races could change.

The Position 3 seat on the board of commissioners is also up for election this year, with incumbent Jay Trost currently the only person to file.

Trost, who owns the Fat Irish Kitchen and Pub in Brookings, also serves on the Brookings Harbor School Board before being appointed to the Position 3 seat.

Incumbent Sheriff John Ward has filed to run for another term in office, County Assessor Kiley Wegner filed to run for a full term and County Clerk Shelley Denney filed to run for a full term. Both Wegner and Denney were appointed to fill vacant seats in 2023.

The Iron Gate Dam, which holds water in the Iron Gate Reservoir, will soon begin to be taken down after water started being reduced in the reservoir this week.

Iron Gate Reservoir drawdown begins

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media

Last week, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation, a 501c3 nonprofit founded in 2016, initiated the drawdown process by opening the low-level outlet tunnel in the Iron Gate dam.

Drawdown of the JC Boyle and Copco reservoirs will begin next week.

The process slowly drains the reservoirs over several weeks.

Communities downstream including Klamath will begin to start

seeing changes in the coming days as an estimated 17-20 million cubic yards of sediments at the three dams start being removed, according to the KRRC. The process of the drawdown is occurring under the watchful oversight of the Environmental Protection Agency and KRRC consultants. The EPA has determined the sediments to be non-toxic, consisting of dead algae, assorted gravels and fine clay particles.

Mark Bransom, chief operating officer of the KRRC told The Pilot,

“The drawdown strategy is different than what people have seen in the past removal of other dams. There was no (explosive) blast at this dam, instead we had the opportunity to use existing infrastructure which allows us to precisely control the volume of water going down river, limiting downstream impacts,” Bransom said.

Water clarity will take approximately 24 months to return to pristine clarity.

Dam(s) removal is expected to begin mid-year and be completed by Autumn of 2024.

Healthy changes for Oregon coastal communities

BY DICK ANDERSON Guest Column

The one thing constant in life is change.

2023 saw plenty of changes in state government; Governor Kotek took over, there was a new Senate President and a new House Speaker along with about one third of the legislators new to their positions. I believe this has all been healthy for the communities on the coast in 2023.

We were able to finish the 2023 session spending billions for the needs of Oregonians.

A few of the programs that will support our district include: • A pilot loan program targeting workforce housing with pre-

development loans to help keep housing costs down and help with the urgency of production.

• Funding for the Port of Coos Bay to match Federal dollars for deepening the channel and facilitate the development of a shipping container operation.

• A pilot childcare program to help facilitate development of more centers.

• Funds to complete a substance abuse treatment center in Newport.

• Record funding for schools.

I am proud of my achievements for the communities I represent.

For us to have healthy communities, we depend

on good schools, affordable housing, access to health care (mental, physical, oral) and childcare to be successful. I believe these things are the cornerstones that drive economic development.

As a healthy community, we would have companies wanting to relocate here and a ready and willing workforce for those companies.

Our coastal communities are incredible places to live and provide a wonderful environment for families to thrive, sometimes we need help from the state and sometimes we just need them to stay out of the way.

Focusing on these core areas and our communities will be my priority as we move into 2024.

We are all aware of

the issues with the drug addiction crisis (Measure 110) has caused in Portland. I think it is safe to say the problem is all along the coast as well.

You will see some major focus of the Legislature to address this problem in a hopefully bipartisan manner. I am committed to being part of the solution not just sound bites on the issue, but I do fear there may not be enough of a desire to really get to the heart of the drug crisis.

Housing is going to be a major part of my focus in the 2024 session.

As Vice Chair of Senate Housing and a member of the Governor’s housing committee, I am on the front lines pushing for more production of housing. We did a lot

for the homeless portion of housing in 2023, we must now focus on the production side to reach the Governor goal of 36,000 units a year. You will see my office very focused on workforce housing and affordable housing which target many different income levels. All housing production needs have to be addressed for there to be viable progress.

The other project we are working on for the coast is traffic. Everyone in Oregon uses Highway 101 up and down the coast. I will be focused on discussing this issue with ODOT, Governor Kotek, commissioners, mayors, and voters to uncover real opportunities to manage traffic through our communities. This is not

just an issue for Highway 101, but also the highways that feed into the communities of Newport, Florence, and Lincoln City to be specific.

Many other issues remain, but this will be a short 35-day session meant to focus on emergencies and budget fixes. I am hoping we can move through the process with respect and bipartisanship for the good of Oregonians.

Sen. Dick Anderson represents District 5, which stretches from Lincoln City to Coos Bay on the coast and inland portions of Lane and Benton counties, including Philomath. He may be reached by email at sen.dickanderson@ oregonlegislature.gov, or by phone at 503-986-1705

Great Editors, Starting with Martin Baron

BY LLEWELLYN KING InsideSources.com

I am a connoisseur of editors.

I have worked for them, alongside them, and have hated and admired them.

So, I was ecstatic when Adam Clayton Powell III, my cohost on the TV show “White House Chronicle,” told me he contacted Martin “Marty” Baron, who has a place in the pantheon of great editors. He agreed to come on the show.

We recorded a two-part series with Baron: a tour de force appearance. He talked about the excitement of being the editor of The Miami Herald when Elian Gonzalez was the big story; the years-long unveiling of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in The Boston Globe when he was its editor; and his becoming executive editor of The Washington Post and its transition from being a family property to being owned by Jeff Bezos, then the world’s richest man.

As he did in his book,

“Collision of Power: Trump, Bezos, and The Washington Post,” he discussed how Trump early on had the new Post team to dinner at the White House and endeavored to co-opt them into the Trump camp. Trump had, as Baron explained, picked on the wrong team.

Baron’s most significant achievement, I believe, was the investigation that exposed the Catholic Church. I was traveling frequently to Ireland at that time — a country, sadly, that had seen more than its share of clerical excess. The Globe’s revelations had an immediate impact there and around the world: Think of the thousands of boys and girls who won’t be abused as a result.

Every editor edits differently and leaves a different mark. I worked for a weekly newspaper editor in Zimbabwe, Costa Theo, who set much of the hot type and edited on the Linotype machine. He urged me to use what he called “informants” many years before Watergate ushered in the practice of talking about “sources” without naming

them and relying on the integrity of the reporter to guarantee the existence of the sources.

Herbert Gunn, father of the poet Thom Gunn, edited various newspapers in London’s Fleet Street. When I knew him, it was The Sunday Dispatch. He sat in a commanding way on what was called the “backbench” at the end of the newsroom and edited what he thought needed his touch in green ink with a Parker 51. If you saw green ink, you jumped.

Gunn was a superb editor and, like Ben Bradlee at the Post, gave a theatrical performance as well.

All I ever saw in green ink were cryptic notes like “15 minutes.” That meant, “I will see you in the pub in 15 minutes.”

It was an assignment, not an invitation.

Some editors are technicians and change the look of the papers they edit. John Denson at The New York Herald Tribune is credited with introducing horizontal layouts using Bodoni typefaces as the principal type

of the newspaper. This became the standard for many U.S. newspapers, including The Washington Post.

A newspaper genius, David Laventhol, put the women’s page in the Post to flight. As the Style section’s first editor, he did it with typological aplomb and with the use of photos in a Life magazine way: big and bold.

Laventhol, who became publisher of The Los Angeles Times and Newsday, came to the Post from The New York Herald Tribune, where he had risen to managing editor. He and I worked together briefly in 1963. I remember him having a days-long battle with Marguerite Higgins, the famous foreign correspondent, over the word “exotic.”

Of course, Laventhol could only create the revolutionary Style section because executive editor Bradlee gave him free rein.

Bradlee edited with leadership while affecting a kind of international jewel thief persona, as might be played by David

Llewellyn King is the executive producer and host of “White House Chronicle” on PBS. He wrote this for InsideSources.com.

A Word, Please: Hall of shame

Letters to the Editor Perilous candidate I really like Court Boice.

He has been and is a great representative for all of us in Curry County.

But, his recent published endorsement of Donald Trump for president in this newspaper took my breath away.

I’ve always appreciated the difference between a Republican and Democratic White House administration.

I took comfort in knowing that whichever party is in the administration respected the norms, customs, laws and the constitution.

But not now.

It is clear, another Trump term will put our way of life in peril.

Only the commander in chief ie, the president of the United States, has the final say and the authority to activate nuclear weapons.

I’m sure that a man who behaves and acts out like an 8-year-old with that kind of power will deliberately try to destroy our way of life.

I’m hopeful our local leaders will refrain from endorsing this perilous candidate.

Vote!

BY JUNE CASAGRANDE Guest Column

Good news, kind of. I discovered a new sentence structure I hate. It’s a pattern I see often but only recently, while editing an article, realized it belongs in my writing hall of shame.

Why would I bother hating certain sentence structures, you may wonder?

Well, the better structured your sentence, the better you can get your message across. So bad sentences are roadblocks to effective communication.

In fact, this is what I love most about English grammar: It affords a mechanical understanding of Vicki Nuss how sentences perform — Brookings some of them like expertly engineered race cars, others like AMC Gremlins. So when a sentence is stalling and sputtering and This newspaper’s letters to the editor are limited straining, grammar is the to a maximum of 350 words and will be edited toolbox you draw from as for grammar, spelling and blatant inaccuracies. you get under the hood to fix it.

Unsubstantiated or irresponsible allegations,or Here’s an example of personal attacks on any individual, will not be the sentence structure I just published. Letters containing details presented as learned to hate: “There are facts rather than opinions must include their sources. lye-based products that All submissions must include the author’s full name, clear debris out of pipes.” local street address and telephone number (only the You may not see name and city of residence will be published). anything odious about that perfectly common

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR:

sentence structure. But when you compare it to a version that’s been revised by a professional editor, the problem becomes clear.

Here’s the edited version: “Lye-based products clear debris out of pipes.”

Looking at the two versions, you immediately see that “there are” is unnecessary. Just extra words.

Worse, these words force you to add one more word: “that.” Instead of saying the products clear out debris, you must say these are products “that” clear out debris. So the structure creates a wordier-than-necessary sentence.

True, shorter sentences aren’t always better. But they usually are. They make the best use of readers’ time and attention, wasting none of it on unnecessary words.

But needless words aren’t the only problem with the longer sentence.

A closer look at the syntax reveals deeper problems.

In our revised version, the main clause has a tangible subject: lyebased products. Tangible subjects have a sensory effect on readers, evoking images, sounds or smells.

Lye evokes burning and stinging and danger and a certain power. Even

pairing it up with a bland, vague noun like “products” doesn’t diminish its effect on readers.

In the original sentence, the subject was the pronoun “there.” Technically, this is called the “existential there,” which is just a structure we use to say something exists.

As a subject, “there” is a real yawner — as devoid of specificity as a word can be.

Existential “there” always uses a form of the verb “be,” in this case “are.” Forms of “be” are among the least-dynamic verbs you’ll find. Being is always less action-packed than doing. Yes, sometimes “there are” is the best wording, especially when your main point is that these things exist. But often, it’s a weak choice — much weaker than a motion-oriented verb like “clear” in “clear debris.”

But perhaps the worst thing about this sentence structure is that, through the use of “that,” it demotes the verb phrase “clear debris” to the status of an adjective. That’s the nature of relative clauses.

A relative clause is any clause hinged on one of the relative pronouns — that, which, who or whom —

Niven or Steve McQueen.

His genius always was the big picture. He didn’t write headlines or change captions, but he did decide the big stories of the day.

One of those stories was about a break-in at an office and apartment complex called The Watergate. I had arranged a dinner date with a reporter at the rival Evening Star.

She called and said, “I am afraid I will be late. There has been some sort of break-in at The Watergate. But it can’t be important because the Post is sending Carl.”

At that time, Carl Bernstein wasn’t a star, just a young city desk reporter. I don’t think my date that night stayed in journalism.

Baron, like Bradlee, had a nose for the big one — and he brought it home.

and used to modify a noun.

As you already know, that’s what adjectives do. They modify nouns.

So relative clauses are adjective clauses. Consider “The car that I drove is in the parking lot.” The relative clause “that I drove” isn’t about driving, really, it’s about specifying which car you’re talking about. So it’s basically an adjective.

“Clear debris” by itself is a verb phrase, but when you put “that” in front of it, the phrase is just modifying the noun “products.”

So our original sentence turns a dynamic, sensory action into a static adjective.

If you want to keep your readers awake, avoid sentences that start with “there is” or “there are” — especially if a “that” clause comes later in the sentence. Instead, consider making the noun the subject of the sentence and taking out “that” to make the relative clause into a true verb.

John V. Byrne, who served as Oregon State University’s 12th president from 1984 to 1995 after leading the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, died Thursday. He was 95.

As president of Oregon State, Byrne oversaw the construction of buildings and the addition of degree programs, strengthened OSU’s academic reputation and boosted fundraising.

“The university we know and love today would be unrecognizable without the many lasting contributions of President Emeritus John V. Byrne,” said OSU President Jayathi Y. Murthy. “His life was distinguished by exemplary public service in Oregon and across the nation, scientific accomplishment, and the warm friendship he shared with colleagues, students, artists and community members.”

Interested in teaching, Byrne left a position as a geologist at an oil company in Texas in 1960 to join the oceanography program at what was then known as Oregon State College. He was one of the first faculty members of the department and spent his early years researching coastal estuaries.

In 1968, he was named chair of OSU’s oceanography department, and three years later he was promoted to dean of the newly created School of Oceanography, now known as the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.

A year later, he was also elevated to serve as the director of the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Byrne served in this dual capacity until becoming Oregon State’s first dean of research in 1976 and later vice president for research and graduate studies.

In 1981, he was nominated by President Ronald Reagan to serve as the third administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Washington, D.C. He remained in this role until 1984 when he returned to Corvallis to succeed Robert MacVicar as Oregon State’s 12th president.

As president, Byrne oversaw the expansion, renovation or acquisition of dozens of buildings and other campus facilities, helped raise $40 million for the expansion of the Valley Library, established more than 30 new degrees or certificates and created the University Honors College and the Department of Ethnic Studies. He did this

John V. Byrne amidst a budget crisis caused by significant reductions in state funding for higher education.

He also oversaw the implementation of the university’s first strategic plan, development of the President’s Commission on the Status of Women and acquired the Ava Helen and Linus Pauling Papers and other materials that were later housed in the OSU Libraries Special Collections.

In 1995, Byrne announced his intention to retire as president and was succeeded by Paul Risser in January 1996.

Upon retiring as president, Byrne remained a prominent member of the OSU community, participating in university and arts events, teaching in the Honors College, furthering his own scholarship, helping to found local arts organizations, and contributing to state and national commissions. He served on the state’s vote by mail commission and led the Kellogg Commission on the Future of State Land Grant Universities.

In 2017, Byrne’s memoir, “Undercurrents,” was published by Oregon State University Press. It explores his childhood during the Great Depression and World War II and his career as a scientist, educator and administrator.

Byrne, who was born in Hempstead, New York, earned a bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College in 1951, a master’s degree from Columbia University in 1953 and a doctorate from the University of Southern California in 1957.

Byrne is survived by his wife, Shirley, children Donna Byrne, Karen Byrne and Steven Byrne, and grandchildren Adiv Paradise, Liat Paradise, Lauren Byrne and Quentin Byrne.

Hoyle, Carbajal introduce DASH Act to tackle housing affordability, homelessness Last week, U.S. Representatives Val Hoyle (OR04) and Salud Carbajal (CA-24) introduced the Decent, Affordable, Safe Housing for All (DASH) Act, a companion bill to Senator Ron Wyden’s legislation in the Senate.

This groundbreaking legislation aims to tackle homelessness and address the housing affordability crisis in Oregon and across the country.

“I am proud to introduce

the DASH Act which is a comprehensive bill that will help increase access to affordable housing for low- and middle-income families and take concrete steps to address homelessness. We have a housing crisis because there is a lack of available housing at all income levels and I’m proud to be introducing a bill to address that need.

The DASH Act provides support and incentive to states and local communi-

ties to help provide needed housing solutions for families in Oregon’s Fourth Congressional District and across the state,” said Rep. Hoyle.

The DASH Act addresses critical aspects of the housing crisis by: • Providing a pathway to increase access to middle income housing and take a much-needed step to address our housing stock.

• Ensuring that families

or individuals experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness have access to Housing Choice Vouchers.

• Reforming local zoning and housing development, which is vital for building affordable homes in America.

• Providing innovative tax policies, helping investment in homeownership, providing rent support for low-income families, and construct-

“I am proud to introduce the DASH Act which is a comprehensive bill that will help increase access to affordable housing for low- and middle-income families and take concrete steps to address homelessness."

ing affordable housing nationwide.

• Providing relief to families of diverse economic backgrounds by establishing the Middie Income Housing Tax Credit and strengthening the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit.

Given the record-low vacancy rates across Oregon, this legislation is needed to address the housing challenges facing the workforce.

“In a nation as wealthy as ours, no child should grow up without a roof over their head. It’s clear that people experiencing homelessness need a lot more assistance than is currently provided,” Wyden said. “Taking proactive measures to prevent homelessness in the future not only alleviates individual suffering but also saves taxpayer dollars. That’s why I’m proud to have introduced the DASH Act, and why I’m happy to have a partner in the House like Rep. Hoyle in the fight to increase affordable housing supply, invest in services for unhoused people, and

expand homeownership opportunities for working families.”

“I hear from my Central Coast constituents every single day about their concerns with the rising costs of housing and the lack of affordable options for them to live and raise a family.

With a problem as big as our nation’s housing crisis, we need a big solution – and that’s why I’m proud to co-lead the DASH Act in Congress,” said Rep. Carbajal. “From strengthening tax credits for low income and middle-class households, to helping those experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, and much more – our legislation will help protect millions from losing their homes and help millions more put a roof over their head without breaking the bank.”

“The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities is pleased to support the legislation sponsored

by Congresswoman Val Hoyle (D-OR) that would expand the Housing Choice Voucher program and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to provide housing stability for our most underserved communities.

This legislation would also provide public housing authorities with the necessary support and funding to continue administering vouchers to low-income renters and help address challenges with housing insecurity faced by the homeless population.”

Sunia Zaterman, Executive Director of The Council of Large Public Housing Authorities.

This bill would help build an estimated three million additional homes in the U.S. over the next decade and has been endorsed

by Enterprise Community Partners, Leading Age, Council for Large Public Housing Authorities, and Network for Oregon Affordable Housing.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS January 24, 2024 California Housing Finance Agency 500 Capitol Mall, Suite 1400 Sacramento, CA 95814 This Notice shall satisfy the above-cited two separate but related procedural notification requirements for activities to be undertaken by California Housing Finance Agency.

REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS On or about February 9, 2024, California Housing Finance Agency will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the reservation of $16,375,000 in funds in Housing Finance Agency Risk-sharing: Section 542(c) program funds under the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 (12 U.S.C. 1707) and Section 235 of HUD’s FY 2001 Appropriation Act, Public Law 106-377, as amended, to undertake a project known as Battery Point Apartments for the purpose of providing affordable housing. The Program provides new insurance authority independent of the National Housing Act. Section 542(c) provides credit enhancement for mortgages of multifamily housing projects whose loans are underwritten, processed, serviced, and disposed of by California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA). HUD and CalHFA share in the risk of the mortgage.

Battery Point Apartments project proposes to develop 162 units of affordable housing on a 4.9-acre site comprised of two adjacent parcels (APNs 118-440-021000, and -022-000) with address unassigned, adjacent to 1050 E Street, in Crescent City, Del Norte County, California 95531. The site is currently vacant. The project will construct 121 units of family housing in a four- and five-story building with 144 parking spaces; and 41 units of senior housing in a fourstory building with 21 parking spaces. The unit mix will be 54 one-bedroom units, 63 two-bedroom units, 29 three-bedroom units and 16 four-bedroom units for a total of 162 residential units and 165 parking spaces. The project will be divided into three parcels - one with the affordable family apartments, and one with the affordable senior apartments. The third parcel will be dedicated to the City of Crescent City for the development of a public park (see figure below). The project will be constructed using steel modular units that will be manufactured offsite and assembled on-site.

The project will be affordable to families and seniors earning between 30 and 70 percent of Del Norte County Area Median Income (AMI).

The project includes the construction of off- and onsite improvements including extension of David Street, construction of curb, gutter, and sidewalk; construction and extension of utilities as required for the project, including improvements and reconstruction in the public Right-of-Way; new construction of two bus stops; a lighted school crosswalk; and landscaping of the dog park.

The total project cost is estimated to be $81,310,996.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT California Housing Finance Agency has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR). The ERR will be made available to the public for review electronically. Please submit your request by email to Elizabeth Brown, EABrown@CalHFA. ca.gov. The ERR can be accessed online at the following website: https://www.calhfa.ca.gov/ about/press/public-notice/ index.htm PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group or

agency may submit written comments on the ERR to California Housing Finance Agency, Attn: Elizabeth Brown, Loan Administrator, via email to EABrown@ CalHFA.ca.gov. All comments received on or before February 8, 2024, will be considered by California Housing Finance Agency prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION California Housing Finance Agency certifies to HUD that Tiena Johnson Hall, Executive Director, in her capacity as NEPA Certifying Officer, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows California Housing Finance Agency to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and California Housing Finance Agency’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of California Housing Finance Agency; (b) California Housing Finance Agency has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40n CFR Par 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and shall be emailed to the HUD grant administration office at: MFW-Public-Notices@HUD. gov . Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to satisfy the obligation secured by said Deed of Trust.

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. TRUSTOR: Gerald M. Owen and Ardetta J. Owen, husband and wife DULY APPOINTED TRUSTEE: Foreclosure Specialists, a General Partnership RECORDED: 10/26/99 AS INSTRUMENT NO. 99-5731, Book 514, Page 332 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Del Norte County, California.

The total amount secured by said instrument as of the time of initial publication of this notice is stated above, which includes the total amount of the unpaid balance (including accrued and unpaid interest) and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of initial publication of this notice. 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 530-246-2727; Toll Free: 844-333-6766, 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. 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.

House Republicans introduce bill to end Measure 110 House Republicans last week introduced legislation to end the crises of drugs, homelessness, and crime that have been exacerbated by the failed Measure 110.

The bill takes action to end Measure 110 as we know it to restore accountability and provide pathways to treatment for addicts so that they can become healthy, productive members of society.

The bill classifies possession of deadly drugs like fentanyl, heroin, and meth as a Class A Misdemeanor, mandates treatment to avoid jail time, bans public use, and requires

evaluation and treatment as part of probation for certain drug and property crimes.

It requires prison sentences for drug dealers and manufacturers with multiple convictions and increases the penalties for drug dealers who sell drugs that result in the death of a person.

The chief sponsors of the bill are Rep. Rick Lewis (R-Silverton), Republican House Leader Jeff Helfrich (R-Hood River), Rep. Tracy Cramer (R-Gervais), Rep. Kevin Mannix (R-Salem), Rep. Ed Diehl (R-Stayton) and Rep. Christine Goodwin (R-Canyonville).

“The citizens of Oregon

understand the failures of Measure 110. We see the results on the streets, in the unacceptable overdose death rate, and in the catastrophic consequences to our communities, to public safety, and to livability,” said Lewis.

“Change is needed, and we can’t afford to take small steps that fail to adequately address the problem.

"We filed the bill today.

A great deal of thought has gone into it, and we have the opportunity to do the right thing for Oregon, for public safety, and for the drug addicted. The bill creates accountability, but it

also provides the tools and the resources needed to get us on the road to recovery. We cannot wait any longer.”

“While the majority party talks endlessly about drug prevention, their policies opened the floodgates to drug access.

Failing to end Measure 110 is to embrace the status quo of death, drugs, and decline," said Helfrich. "The people of Oregon have seen enough. House Republicans are answering their call for substantial, meaningful reforms to get drugs off the streets, put drug dealers behind bars, and get addicts into treatment.

"The legislature must deliver this short session by passing our bill.”

"Enabling people to live on the streets and poison themselves is not compassionate, but that is exactly what Measure 110 is doing," said Cramer. "As a mother, we see hard drugs infiltrating our schools and it's caused overdose deaths among our teenagers to skyrocket to nearly 700% and third in the nation in teen addiction.

We cannot settle for the bare minimum. It breaks my heart that Measure 110 is putting so many of our children’s futures at risk.”

Oregon parents, advocates press lawmakers for more child care funding

BY JULIA SHUMWAY

high as $221 million by the end of the two-year budget cycle in 2025. In November, officials projected a shortfall of $123 million if the demand grew by 2% a month.

Kiyah joined a couple dozen other parents and advocates outside the state Capitol in Salem on Thursday, with her youngest strapped to her chest, to urge lawmakers to increase child care funding during the short legislative session that begins Feb. 5.

“I really want legislators to understand that access to affordable child care is so essential for folks like me, single moms or not, to be able to work to pay our rent and to buy food and put food on the table,” she said. “I really want lawmakers to understand that we’re not just these lazy people out here. We are working very hard, and access to affordable child care is incredibly important and life-changing.”

As of December, nearly 16,200 low-income Oregon families had been accepted into the program, though fewer than 12,000 of those families have connected with providers and have children receiving care, according to a presentation given to a legislative committee. The state pays child care providers directly, with families paying an average copay of less than $10 per month.

Families need to earn less than 200% of the

OREGON CAPITAL CHRONICLE

A letter from Oregon’s Department of Early Learning and Care upended Natalie Kiyah’s life last spring.

Kiyah, at the time a pregnant mother of three young children, had received a stipend through the Employment Related Day Care program to help pay for child care. But her 2022 tax returns showed that her income exceeded the annual limit by about $2,000, and she lost the state aid.

Unable to come up with an extra $1,500 to $2,000 a month to keep her toddler in full-time care, and unable to work the same hours at her photography and marketing business without child care, Kiyah and her children moved into a shelter.

She was able to rejoin the child care program after about a month and a half and found a full-time job doing digital engagement with the Oregon Food Bank, where she works to make sure no Oregonians go hungry. The Employment Related Day Care program allows Kiyah to work – but more than 1,300 Oregon families are stuck on an indefinite waitlist and the state department that oversees the program warned lawmakers Thursday that the program could face a shortfall as

federal poverty level – just less than $40,000 annually for a single parent with one child or $60,000 for a family of four. They can stay in the program until they earn more than 250% of the federal poverty level – about $58,000 for a single parent with one child or $85,000 for a family of four.

Some level of increased child care funding is likely during the session, but it’s not yet clear whether it will be enough. Gov. Tina Kotek called in November for allocating another $59 million to address the waitlist based on October caseloads.

Child care is competing with other critical needs, including housing and behavioral health, for a limited amount of state money. Advocates say lawmakers need to understand that child care is a major economic issue and deeply connected to other needs facing Oregon.

‘Key in everyone’s life’ Courtney Veronneau, senior political director for Family Forward, told the Capital Chronicle in a December interview that the pandemic highlighted how critical child care access was to a functioning economy. Survey results released last month

by Portland State University found that more than 40% of parents quit a job, turned down a job offer or “greatly changed” their job because of difficulty finding child care.

Natalie Kiyah, a mother of four who uses the Employment Related Day Care program, brought her youngest child to the state Capitol in Salem to advocate for increased funding for the program.

“It’s all connected,” Veronneau said. “And when people can’t get to work because they don’t have somewhere to put their kids, they can’t afford their housing and we just compound these like more deeply rooted problems.”

Marchel Marcos, who oversees political policy, advocacy and civic engagement for the Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon, didn’t qualify for Employment Related Day Care when her children were younger because at the time the state considered her abusive ex-partner

to be a parent who could care for the children. She stayed in that relationship longer than she wanted to, until her children were in elementary school and she could afford her own housing.

Now, families identified as domestic violence survivors are able to skip the waitlist for the child care program, which Marcos described as “amazing.”

But that means other families end up staying on the waitlist longer, she noted.

“If people don’t have access to child care, they can’t take a job sometimes,

which then affects their ability to keep stable housing,” she said.

“And that’s a cycle that a lot of us, especially single parents, have to live with every day, patching child care options together and finding work that we’re able to do that accommodates our schedules.

It’s hard to get out of that cycle and get out of that rut unless there’s support. My experience is child care quotes have always been at least equal to or more expensive than the rent that I have to pay, and that’s not not going to work.”

Oregon Supreme Court defers to U.S. Supreme Court in Trump ballot access

BY JULIA SHUMWAY

order said.

However, the state court left open the possibility that it would hear a new case filed by Oregon voters to resolve any issues that remain after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision.

Free Speech for People, the national advocacy group that led the Oregon lawsuit, called the decision “disappointing” in a statement.

“Waiting until the U.S. Supreme Court issues its order only compresses the time that the Oregon Supreme Court may have to resolve the issues that may remain if the U.S. Supreme Court does not fully resolve all the issues in this case,” the group said.

The group of five Oregon voters, which included at least one registered Republican, argued that Griffin-Valade had the responsibility to enforce the 14th Amendment.

They noted that Griffin-Valade and past Oregon secretaries of state have blocked candidates who don’t meet qualifications for office, including Griffin-Valade’s recent decision to bar Oregon senators who had more than 10 absences from filing for reelection. That decision sparked an ongoing Supreme Court case.

Griffin-Valade and state attorneys maintained that

OREGON CAPITAL CHRONICLE

The Oregon Supreme Court will defer to the U.S. Supreme Court and won’t hear a court case challenging former President Donald Trump’s ability to appear on Oregon ballots.

A group of Oregon voters asked the state court in December to order Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade to keep Trump off the primary and general election ballots as part of a nationwide campaign.

Critics in Oregon and elsewhere allege that he is ineligible for federal office because the 14th Amendment bars anyone from holding office who “engaged in insurrection” after previously swearing to uphold the U.S. Constitution.

The Colorado Supreme Court ordered his removal from Colorado ballots in a similar case, and the U.S. Supreme Court will hold oral arguments on Trump’s appeal over the Colorado decision on Feb. 8.

“A decision by the United States Supreme Court regarding the Fourteenth Amendment issue may resolve one or more contentions that relators make in this proceeding,” the Oregon Supreme Court’s

Iowa Republicans were the first to select their party’s nominee for the 2024 presidential race when they went caucuses on Jan. 15. she lacks the authority to judge whether presidential candidates are qualified because voters don’t actually pick a nominee during the primary – they direct delegates to a national convention how to vote.

The Oregon Republican Party will select delegates at a convention a few days after the primary, though party rules require all delegates to support the winner of the state’s primary.

Secretary of state recognizes people who make democracy work In her capacity as a member of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade recently announced the winners of the John Lewis Youth Leadership Awards and the NASS Medallion Awards to an incredible group of dedicated Oregonians.

In light of the ongoing threats, harassment and false information campaigns targeting the people who make our democracy work, this year’s awards focus on Oregon’s county elections officials and members of the Oregon Translation Advisory Council.

The NASS medallions are presented to five former county elections officials: 1. Dana Jenkins, Lincoln County Clerk (38 years of service, 32 as county clerk) 2. Robin Church, Union County Clerk (32 years of service, 16 as county clerk) 3. Renee’ Kolen, Curry County Clerk (37 years of service, 30 as Curry County clerk) 4. Mickie Kawai, Washington County Elections Division Manager (33 years of service) 5. Cheryl Betschart, Lane County Clerk (20+ years of service, 12 as county clerk) Since 2020, almost a third of county clerks in Oregon have retired or left their position.

In November 2023, the Elections and Voting Information Center at Reed College released the Oregon County Election Staffing Research Study, which was commissioned by the Oregon Elections Division to better understand the pressures and challenges facing local elections offices.

The report highlights the obstacles clerks across the state face, writing: “Far too many of the county clerks are subject to abuse, threats, and harassment.

As a consequence, local election offices have experienced a wave of retirements, resignations,

Research shows times for ‘prescribed burns’ in the West shifting

By HAYDEN BLACKFORD

Oregon Capital Chronicle

Deciding when and where to conduct prescribed burns is becoming increasingly important as the climate warms, and, according to a recent study, the timing and frequency of appropriate weather will also play a larger role.

Prescribed burns are an essential tool land managers use in reducing fuel availability for extreme wildfires, and conditions favorable to prescribed burns will become far less frequent in much of the West, especially the Southwest, according to a study published in October 2023 in Communications Earth & Environment.

However, the study found that parts of the northern Rocky Mountains will have more days to use prescribed burns, especially during the early and late winter months.

“One of the reasons why some of the northern tiers of the U.S. become more favorable for prescribed fire at times in winter is actually because it gets warmer,” said Daniel Swain, lead author and climate scientist for the University of California, Los Angeles.

“You’re actually warming into this acceptable enve-

Though the study forecasts an overall decrease of days acceptable for prescribed fire — as much as a 25% to 31%, during the spring and summer months

across the West — northern regions may see an increase in potential burn days during the winter. These opportunities are a silver lining of sorts, as any opportunities to burn forests with low-intensity fire are essential for keeping fuels off the forest floor and leaving larger trees unharmed, Swain said.

“You can’t just broad

These scholarships, ranging from $250 to $10,000, have been established not only by individual donors, but also by regional businesses, clubs, organizations and schools.

The diverse range of scholarships reflects a commitment to honoring loved ones, supporting access to higher education, and improving the lives of students as they pursue

their diverse ambitions.

Students pursuing associate degrees, bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees, and degrees and certifications from career, vocational, or technical schools are eligible to apply.

The scholarships, many of which have been in existence for decades, aim to offer long-term support to students in HAF+WRCF's service region of Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity, and Curry counties.

The deadline to apply for these scholarships is midnight on March 4th.

Students will apply though the streamlined process of the Universal Application.

This application serves as a convenient platform, connecting current and prospective students to numerous educational funding opportunities through a

single application.

Sydney Morrone, Grants & Scholarships Manager for HAF+WRCF, highlighted the significance of these scholarships, stating, "The Universal Application reduces barriers for students, both current and future, to tap into thousands of dollars in educational funding—all with just one application. Some of our scholarships have been supporting students for decades. We're honored to offer these resources and help students take the next steps in their educational journey."

Over $900,000 will be awarded through these scholarships. While most scholarships are primarily intended for and offered to students in HAF+WRCF’s service region of Humboldt, Del Norte, Trinity and Curry counties, some scholarships are available to national or global applicants.

brush the American West,” Swain said, of the variability of climate from stateto-state.

The study found that if temperatures rose a modest 2 degrees Celsius by 2060, southern U.S. states could see their burn windows shrink by 17% overall.

Wildfire conditions are rapidly worsening for parts of central and Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico, Swain said.

Prescribed burns are a risk intervention tool, and not only does prescribed fire reduce wildfire risk but in many places the ecosystem benefits from these fires, which are often less intense than wildfires spurred by climate change and years of fire suppression, Swain said. In a forest where land managers have historically suppressed fire, lower branches create ladder fuels, or fuels that give fire the ability to grow

tions. It is really hard to make these kinds of decisions, regardless of what side of the aisle you’re on or what your belief system is. I also want to let the staff know that we support you. It’s going to be a challenge ahead, we’ll never take that lightly, but we know that you can all be a part of creating the Brookings that we want,” said Fulton.

on the ground. And if a fire reaches the tree canopy, it becomes much more intense; it can even create its own weather.

Mariah Leuschen-Longeran, the public affairs specialist for the Forest Service’s northern region, said that fire professionals and firefighters make comprehensive plans about where to burn, and they look for optimal weather conditions. One thing they pay close attention to is air quality.

The Forest Service works with local partners, such as the county or state, making them aware of the upcoming fire, she said.

Additionally, communication with the National Weather Service plays a big part in the days and weeks leading up to a potential window. Burns require pre-planning that fits local outlines, goals and objectives, but ideally, they also align with larger projects’ goals, Leuschen-Longeran said.

In the future, climate conditions could align for prescribed burns earlier in the year, depending on the snowpack, Leuschen-Longeran said. Opportunities may arise in the winter, especially on open slopes facing south — where direct sunlight hits. However, she said the agency follows air quality guidelines set by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality.

In the winter, accommodating prescribed burns produces its own challenges. And in Western Montana, it’s common for a stagnant, low atmosphere to form, which would trap smoke, said Liz Ulrich, the planning supervisor at the DEQ’s Air Quality Bureau.

The DEQ views small burns on private land very differently than the largescale burns typically under-

taken by government agencies. Ulrich said Montana has different regulations for the West than the East to accommodate regional differences that may impact air quality.

In addition, for an entity like the Forest Service, the Montana, Idaho Airshed Database tracks potential burns. Even though forest conditions in Montana may align for prescribed burns, that doesn’t mean there will be an opportunity to conduct one since the State takes turns using weather windows in coordination with Idaho, Ulrich said.

Working with Idaho is imperative because when they burn, the region’s dominant wind patterns often bring smoke further into Montana, Ulrich said.

The DEQ’s goal is to maintain a healthy airshed and to help mitigate wildfire danger, but the balance is becoming increasingly harder to find as wildfire season grows, she said. The agency is always looking for opportunities to approve burns, but they have had to adjust; when the fire season goes longer than usual, that can mean not approving burns, she said.

“It is a little bit shorter of a season in the fall, and it is kind of shifting, but our regulations haven’t shifted,” Ulrich said. “We’re seeing the trend of wildfire season just being longer, and in turn, that opportunity for burning isn’t as long.”

alongside thanks and praise for the job that Howard has done, despite the storm that has long-surrounded city hall. Regardless of public opinion, Howard has served the city and its citizens with dedication.

It’s this same dedication to the citizens that Councilman Andy Martin used as reasoning behind the decision.

“Since I took office last January, [there have been] two dozen meetings at least regarding the city manager position. Lots of meetings in executive session. A large amount of

the council’s time… This may create some difficulties for some of our staff members, but our ultimate responsibility is to the taxpayer, to the citizens of Brookings, and I think they spoke overwhelmingly to the direction they wanted to see the city take,” said Martin.

This ends a long-fought saga in the Brookings City Council.
