Historic Inter-Tribal Treaty

Three Federally recognized California Tribal Nations sign treaty formalizing a collaboration to manage, protect, and restore the Yurok-Tolowa Dee-ni' Indigenous Marine Stewardship Area

Three Federally recognized California Tribal Nations –Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation, Pulikla Tribe of Yurok People, and Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria – signed an inter-tribal treaty of stewardship and responsibility Friday, November 22, 2024, to collaborate on management, protection, and restoration of the Yurok-Tolowa Dee-ni' Indigenous Marine Stewardship Area (IMSA).

The treaty follows last year’s declaration and creation of the IMSA by the three Tribal Nations, the ﬁrst-ever marine protected area designated by Tribal governments in the United States. The IMSA stretches from the Oregon-California border to just south of Trinidad in Humboldt County and directly helps the state of California to achieve its biodiversity and durable conservation goals by 2030. The IMSA is home to species

of high cultural value to the Tribal nations including mussels, seaweed, kelp, clams, abalone, surf and night smelts, salmon, candleﬁsh, green sturgeon, shorebirds and eels (or lamprey).

In signing the treaty, the three Tribes agree to collaborate in efforts to protect a portion of their ancestral ocean and coastal territories, co-manage critical ecosystems, support cultural lifeways and economies, and address climate impacts. The IMSA aims to safeguard an area under threat by poor water quality, ocean acidiﬁcation, species and habitat loss, offshore development, and other climate crisis impacts affecting the health of their communities.

“Together, we will endeavor to protect and restore the biodiversity, water quality, and natural habitats within the IMSA, ensuring the sustainability of our traditional practices and the

Brookings City Council: Fire Chief Resigns, New Water Main Approved

BY LINDA LEE Coastal Curry Pilot

Brookings Fire Chief Jim Watson informed the Brookings City Council board members that he tendered his resignation on November 20th. His last date is tentatively scheduled for December 31st of this year, but he has agreed to remain on duty until the city is able to ﬁnd a suitable replacement.

“We’re going to start the hiring process immediately,” said Watson. “It’s the holiday season, so it might take a little longer to ﬁnd somebody.”

The discussion led to the idea that Watson would probably be with the department until the end of January in order for the city to ﬁnd the right candidate.

“We’re looking at all our options,” said Watson. “There could be a promotion within our department, or we might have to find somebody else.” Watson began his career in 1990 with the Wildland Firefighter Service, he then worked his way into becoming a firefighter. He spent fifteen years volunteering for the Brookings Fire District before working his way up to become fire chief, a position he has held for the past twelve years.

“I’ve worked for the city for

thirty-three years,” said Watson. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to have served. It’s been a pleasure working for Brookings.” Watson stated that his retirement plan is to move to Medford, Oregon where he has a second home so that he could be closer to his family.

“I’ve been commuting for six years now,” said Watson. “My wife is in Medford where she runs a small business out of our home. I’d like to help her out and be closer to my parents, who also live in Medford.”

The council expressed their appreciation to Chief Watson for his service and dedication to the city and also noted that he will be missed.

“We’re going to miss you and thank you for your service,” said Brookings Mayor Isaac Hodges.

In other council news, the council voted unanimously to approve the installation of a new water main on Hillside Avenue. Tidewater Contractors INC. was awarded the contract to replace the water line. The cost of restoring the water main is projected to be $143,700.

In addition to the Hillside Avenue repair, a slide repair on Ridgeview Drive is also slated to be ﬁxed in the near future. 5R

Excavation & Paving LLC was awarded the contract at a cost of $45,125.

The council also voted unanimously to approve the purchase of eight picnic table canopies from Northwest Playground Equipment. The canopies will be for the Kidtown playground area and will cost approximately $48,048.

Time frames for the completion of the pipeline replacement, slide repair and installation of the new canopies were not discussed. According to the meeting minutes, City Manager Rundel shared that he and Public Works and Development Services Director Tony Baron have been reviewing the System Development charge proposals. He and the mayor received approval from the Brookings-Harbor School District superintendent for a “My Local Government” program for third graders to teach them about local government. Lastly, the city adopted a new ordinance that would repeal all sections and references to benevolent meal services. The ordinance amends the Brookings Municipal Code Chapter 17 Land Development Code. This decision was reached out of an agreement with St. Timothy’s church.

After another successful campaign for Oregon’s 4th Congressional District, Representative Val Hoyle will be looking to continue her work for the area. We caught up with her about her priorities, the impact of the new administration, and the Port of Coos Bay expansion.

– What does it mean to have the South Coast’s support regardless of party afﬁliation? Why do you think you’ve maintained support in a red area?

Hoyle – “Well, other than having my children, being able to represent this district in Congress is my greatest honor. I didn’t come from a place where I was likely to be in Congress, and I feel a real responsibility and affinity for the South Coast as we fight to make sure that the South Coast can be that economic engine again. Where our kids can have opportunity at home, and not have to leave to find their way out in the world.

“I spend a fair amount of time on the south coast, and ultimately, I think that it’s the most beautiful place on Earth. I know that sounds very schmaltzy but it’s how I feel.”

Q- For the start of your term, what bills or house resolutions are you prioritizing, and what should South Coasters be paying attention to?

Hoyle – “The ﬁrst thing I want to do is make sure that we use the rest of this session (this would the 118th session of congress). That ends January 3rd, when we get sworn in to the next session of congress (the 119th).

“And there’s still a lot to do. One is to make sure the Fix Our Forests Act, that was passed through the House to address wildfire prevention and wildfire fighting, comes back over before the end of the year with a permanent increase in wildland firefighting pay. That’s critical. Also, with funding for some of the things that we need to do to make sure there’s less things to burn in our forests. That may

be coming back with a lands package, which would be great because there’s potential for getting the mining withdrawal for the Smith River down in Curry County. That would be really important.

“We also have a number of community projects that we would like funded. Infrastructure projects, things that are really important. Whether it’s a wildland firefighter training center or just helping out our commercial fishing industry.

“Basically, I’m going to continue to focus on what I have focused on in the 119th [session]. Wildﬁre funding and prevention, support for our coastal regions, whether that’s commercial ﬁshing, whether that’s infrastructure. Then, making sure that we protect workers and stand up for the values that Oregonians believe in”

Q – To the opposite side of that coin if I may, how do you think that the oncoming administration will affect those big Oregonian issues? Things like conservation?

Hoyle – “The new administration has made it very clear that they want to move away from investment in green energy and the push away from fossil fuels. We are on the forefront, right on the frontlines of the effects of climate change. With our hotter and drier conditions, with conditions in the ocean, it really shouldn’t be a partisan issue to think about protecting our environment and sustainability, especially if we do it in a way that balances jobs and the environment. These should

not be mutually exclusive.

“And the Port of Coos Bay project is a clear example of that. What we’ll be doing with the expansion is make sure the Port gets back to its former days, when it was one of the busiest, most-critical ports in the entire world. And we’ll be moving those containers by rail out to the Midwest, allowing our farmers, ranchers, and manufacturers to be able to have access to markets in the East and in Asia.

“That will still be, I believe, a priority for the incoming administration, because we’ve been very careful to have bipartisan support for the Port of Coos Bay project. Again, it’s not democratic or republican to want to strengthen our supply chain, and we’ve got strong bipartisan support for that project…

“Look, this is going to be a very different direction from the Biden administration. My greatest con-

cern right now, especially for Oregon and the South Coast, is the Trump administration saying they are going to put blanket tariffs on Mexico, on Canada, and on China.

“My background is international trade, and tariffs are something that should be used with surgical precision to make sure that you have an outcome that you’re looking for. With a blanket 10% tariff on [these countries] it affects the goods that we import. And also, for our manufacturers, parts for the things that we manufacture. I’ve talked to a lot of manufacturers, businesses here in the United States and they are very concerned.

“Oregon is a very trade-dependent state, it’s one of the most trade-dependent in the country, so it could affect our economy quite badly.”

– To touch back on the Pacific Coast Intermodal Port, how would you assess the progress of that project after those two

huge funding packages?

“The funding packages are specifically for the planning, environmental, and permitting processes. Helping the port move forward with those things, with community outreach, and making sure we have really good processes for permitting and that we’re following the environmental protection laws.

“Senator Merkley is over in Asia right now, along with people from PCIP, talking to shippers there and letting them know, and talking about the opportunity we have for shippers to come here. This is a really good option for another port on the West Coast so the interest is strong. And since we secured the federal investment, that has spurred private sector interest in the port.

“So, these two grants were absolutely significant because without that initial federal investment: One, we wouldn’t really be moving forward with the permitting process in

the same way. And two, it’s a big signal to bringing in private investment. I’m really excited about the potential for the project.”

Q – I think a lot of the community is too, but the major concern circulating is about housing. How are we going to bring in so many workers, and how are we going to house them? I know a big part of your work has been on workers housing in the area. Would you give us your perspective on that?

Hoyle- “As you know, on the coast, we have half a percent vacancy rate, so there isn’t enough housing for people right now, just for the jobs that we have. North Point, the private company that will be building the terminal, put forward in their grant proposal and what they have committed to do is build enough housing for the construction workforce.

“We expect there to be about 2200-2400 construction jobs, all told. Not all of them will be there at

once, but North Point has committed to build workforce housing, and that workforce housing will be able to be used afterwards for permanent housing.

“It’s a critical piece. When I started working with North Point, the first thing I brought up was that this project cannot move forward without having adequate housing. So they committed to building it, and that’s the beauty of a public private partnership. I don’t believe that its government’s role to do everything. I think we make initial investments in infrastructure, that’s a good use of taxpayer dollars, and what that does is brings in private investment.

“We were really clear [with North Point], that for you to be successful, we have to have more housing. And that’s something we need to deal with at the state level. There isn’t a place in this state that doesn’t have a housing issue... People really need more housing stock.”

“Just that our office is there, we have a regional representative that works to get out in and amongst the community.

It’s the rural communities and the more conservative communities.

“What we can do is help people if they have an issue with a federal agency. So the IRS, VA, Social Security benefits, contact us and we can help with that. If you need a passport. Any kind of federal agency people are having issues with, they can come to our office, and we have a number of people that do constituent work.

• Scammers will often tell you that your service is scheduled to be interrupted in the next 30-60 minutes. Fact: Pacific Power will not contact any customer demanding immediate payment to avoid disconnection of service the same day.

• Fraudsters may ask you to purchase a prepaid card and tell them the card information over the phone.

Fact: Pacific Power does not ask customers to make payments by purchasing a prepaid card. You and other customers can always choose how you would like to make your payments.

• Be suspicious of anyone who approaches you by phone, email, text or in person and demanding on-thespot payment.

Holiday Survival Guide for Your Senior Loved Ones

"It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters," Epictetus, a Greek Stoic philosopher once said.

Rarely do things go exactly as planned, especially during the holidays and especially with our older relatives. Honestly, have the holidays ever gone exactly to plan? Does any day really go as planned?

As we approach Thanksgiving and Christmas, let’s consider what the ultimate objective is. For each person this answer will be different. For me, it is to enjoy precious time with

my friends and family. It feels like time is a commodity all of us wish we could get more of.

Upholding traditions is also important but not at the expense of the quality of everyone’s experience. Here are some best practices for enjoying the holidays with your older loved ones.

Focus on what can be realistically accomplished. We must not get caught up in how things are supposed to go. Let your expectations evolve as your family changes.

Let’s use the stufﬁng as an example. Everyone expects your mom to make her famous stufﬁng recipe which she has done for as long as you can remember. But now you notice that it is hard for her to go shopping for ingredients and then follow the recipe to

make enough for everyone. Also, last year’s didn’t taste quite right. You are not sure you want her to make it this year.

Are you even sure that she still wants to make the stufﬁng? We can also let our traditions evolve, however that may look for each of us.

Keep the lines of communication open. Keeping with the stuffing example, it makes sense to find out what mom really wants. Does she still want to make it herself the way she always has? Or maybe she never wants to prepare stuffing ever again in her whole life. There’s a reason they say what they say about assumptions! Ask her how involved she wants to be. If she wants to continue making her famous stuffing, perhaps ask her if she can teach you

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

how to make the recipe and you can do it together. Give your friends and family a heads-up family about the new traditions so they can be on board too. Keep things simple. In my mind, it is better to do just a few things well rather than try to do all of the things and stress myself out too much. My family beneﬁts more from my presence than from anything else. If I am unhinged, everyone else feels that too. Think about what traditions can be simpliﬁed without losing their meaning. Simplify meals, consider potlucks and don’t be afraid to outsource and order some or all of the food. Don’t overcommit. Be selective about what you choose to do with your family and their energy and interest levels. Do you

really need to go to all of craft fairs and cookie swaps?

Consider their safety and comfort. Most importantly, be sure they have any medications they may need as well as hearing aids and glasses. Look at the gathering spaces with the needs of your loved ones in mind. Where will they sit? Would they prefer a chair with arms? Will they be able get to bathroom easily enough?

Keep an eye on their comfort and energy levels and modify activities when you need to. Consider the volume of the music, climate control, time of day and offer them frequent rest breaks. Choose things to do that are more easily accessible which will turn out to be less stressful for everyone.

Also consider if it would

be too overwhelming or confusing for them to join. Maybe ﬁnd some ways to bring the holidays to them. Embrace new traditions. Make space to grieve that things aren’t the way they used to be. Change is hard so don’t discount that, but it can also be good. Allowing traditions to evolve and adapt over time proves that change can be good. Take time to reﬂect on what goes well, even if it is not how you expected it to be. After all, it isn’t about what happens but how we react that matters, right?

Brookings Pool Opens for Winter Season

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

An agreement was reached with South Coast Community Aquatics (SCCA) to pilot a new winter swimming program at the Brookings Municipal Pool. This would make the pool available from December 1st until February 28th.

“We wanted to say thank you for this opportunity,” said Sienna Worthey, former Brookings City pool manager and SCCA board member. “We’re all happily surprised by the eighty plus people who have already committed to and

pre-paid to use this facility in the winter. It makes us feel like this is worth our effort.”

The city of Brookings had already established a management agreement with SCCA in March of 2024, which allowed them to manage the municipal pool for the 2024 summer season. The SCCA also manages the Fred Endert Pool in Crescent City, California.

“The city is fortunate to have your group (SCCA) involved with us,” said Brookings City Council Member Andy Martin. “I appreciate the impact your group has had since you’ve

taken over management and bringing it to the next level to create an opportunity for winter swim.”

The proposal was brought forward by SCCA because the Fred Endert Pool, powered by Crescent City, has closed for some much-needed repairs and updates to the facility. It is projected that the pool will remain closed for approximately three months, at the minimum.

The Fred Endert Pool was slated to close on December 1st, but actually closed on November 20th because of damage to the building and several windows being blown out from a violent storm that had blanked the region on November 19th.

“There should be an opportunity for some events throughout the holidays,” said Dan Brattain, SCCA board member. “I think it’s going to be a neat collaboration. We’re really excited.”

The projected expense for the pilot program would be approximately thirty-three thousand dollars with the bulk of the funds coming from remaining monies within SCCA from the 2024 season combined with funds from Crescent City.

“We also got a commitment (of funds) from CASA of Coos-Curry County to help kids, so there will also be opportunities for kids to take some lessons or just come for an open swim,” said Early. To help further fund the endeavor, SCCA would also pursue grants and sponsorship funding to help promote the project as well as sell memberships and daily attendance to the facility. Any additional funding would come from the remaining balance of the 2024 contract the city of Brookings had with SCCA.

“We take our stewardship responsibilities very seriously and are honored to sign this historic Inter-Tribal Treaty with other sovereign Tribal Governments,” said Fawn

C. Murphy, Chairperson of the Pulikla Tribe of Yurok People. “Tribal Nations have always taken care of our ocean and coastal territories. Signing this treaty today demonstrates our leadership and our commitment to governing the IMSA in a way that protects tribal culture and restores ocean health.”

“The signing of the IMSA Treaty marks a milestone in our shared journey to protect and restore our ocean and coastal territories that hold deep meaning and value for our people,” said Garth Sund-

berg, Chairperson of the Cher-Ae Heights Indian Community of the Trinidad Rancheria. “We came together to reafﬁrm our commitment to safeguarding these waters and lands not only for today but for the generations to come.”

The three Tribal nations acknowledge the need to have direct participation in how their waters and lands are managed, as well as the future of their cultural resources and traditions associated with these sacred places as the climate crisis accelerates.

The treaty reads, in part:

“As sovereign Tribal Nations, we have never ceded or given up our rights to steward, manage, access, and rely upon our ancestral ocean and coastal territories. We continue to assert these unceded rights and practice these responsibilities.

“We, the sovereign nations of Yurok and Tolowa Dee-ni' peoples, envision a future where the YurokTolowa Dee-ni' IMSA thrives in harmony with our cultural lifeways and our Inter-Tribal partnerships foster a legacy of sustainability and continuity that will endure for generations to come.”

and facilitate collaborative approaches and decision-making.

The Tribes also acknowledge that there are other Tribal Nations who share this ocean space and have welcomed those Tribes to participate at any time in the future.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor: Earl Brown and Janelle Brown, Husband and Wife as Joint Tenants

Duly Appointed Trustee: Carrington Foreclosure Services, LLC Recorded 9/26/2005 as Instrument No. 20057224 in book , page of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Del Norte County, California , Described as follows: As more fully described in the Deed of Trust Date of Sale: 1/7/2025 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: Outside on the steps of the southwest entrance to the Flynn Administration Bldg. located at 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $131,202.55 (Estimated) Street Address or other common designation of real property: 12730 SOUTH INDIAN ROAD SMITH RIVER, CA 95567

A.P.N.: 102-140-014-000

The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other

common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’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 holder’s rights against the real property only. THIS NOTICE IS SENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF COLLECTING A DEBT. THIS FIRM IS ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT ON BEHALF OF THE HOLDER AND OWNER OF THE NOTE. ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED BY OR PROVIDED TO THIS FIRM OR THE CREDITOR WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be

postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site www.STOXPOSTING. com, using the file number assigned to this case 2431206. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: 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 (844) 477-7869, or visit this internet website www. STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 24-31206 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.

Rules amended to prohibit camping on ocean shore in brookings

rule changes to add Brookings to the list of cities where overnight camping is prohibited along the ocean shore within the city limits. The proposed rule change was requested through a petition from residents living near Mill Beach in Brookings. Residents identiﬁed concerns over public health, risks to public safety and impacts on the marine ecosystem along the ocean shore as reasons for proposing the closure of camping on the ocean shore within the city limits. Public comment received by the Oregon Parks and Recreation

Department (OPRD) strongly favored adding restrictions to camping. Over 90% of the more than 90 comments received by the agency expressed support for the change. Brookings will join the cities of Seaside, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, Rockaway Beach, Lincoln City, Newport, Bandon

and Gold Beach where camping is currently prohibited along the ocean shore within the city limits. Camping is also prohibited on portions of the ocean shore in Clatsop and Tillamook counties, under different rules within OPRD's division 30. The last time a new area was added to this list was in 2000 when

sections of the Tillamook County area were included.

Signage and other materials will begin communicating changes to visitors as soon as December 1, 2024. Rangers will continue to focus on visitor education to reduce the impact to natural resources and gain rule compliance.

For the pilot program this winter, SCCA would be responsible for any maintenance of the facility and Crescent City would incur the cost of stafﬁng. “This nice thing about this test run, or what we call the pilot project, is it gives us some real numbers and it makes it a lot easier to go in for some grant funding,” said Val

Early concluded the proposal by stating, in SCCA’s letter of intent, that the initiative not only promises to bring more recreational opportunities to our residents, but also strengthens the partnership between SCCA, the city of Brookings and the city of Crescent City and dedicated swimming enthusiasts. By working together, we can create a sustainable and enjoyable aquatic environment that beneﬁts everyone. “Hopefully we can move toward a facility that be used year-round by the community,” added Malmberg.
