Brookings, Oregon

Rebuilding city council and restoring public faith NATE SCHWARTZ Council Media, Inc.

The dust continues to settle in Brookings City Hall as the realities of the Nov. 7 Special Recall Election leave the City Council shorthanded.

Just after the special election, the council appointed Kristi Fulton, a long-time local educator to fill the third open position and opened the application process for the remaining two council positions.

Remaining City Councilmen Isaac Hodges and Andy Martin and now Fulton, are overseeing the appointment process while working to rebuild citizen’s trust after a tumultuous period.

“Moving forward it is my hope and goal to see our city once again united” Hodges said. “Brookings is a wonderful place filled with great people My steps to build who can do amazing faith include creating things, but we cannot strong relationships, be successful if we holding ourselves remain divided.” and city manager The driving force accountable, striving behind the recall to be transparent, and of Mayor Ron encouraging citizen Hedenskog, and input. councilors Michelle Morosky and Ed Kristi Fulton, Schreiber was their voted to reinstate Brookings City Manager Janell Howard following her arrest for theft from the Brookings Fred Meyer store.

The store documented multiple incidents involving Howard allegedly stealing items from April 11 to July 4, 2022. The store submitted the incident documents to the Curry County District Attorney’s Office. Howard was charged with theft for the July 4 incident and pleaded no contest to the charge in December 2022, according to published reports.

Howard was later placed on leave and then reinstated as city manager. Hodges and Martin voted against her reinstatement.

“

Hodges said the city now needs to move forward.

“As clearly explained in the Nov. 13 open general council meeting by the city attorney and sitting council members, the city council should appoint qualified citizens to fill the open seats, it is our duty,” Hodges said. “In addition, if we

Harney County judge declares SHERIFF’S TIPS OF THE WEEK Measure 114 unconstitutional Use caution when heating your home BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article

LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF’s OFFICE

Connor Radnovich / Oregon Capital Chronicle A Harney County judge ruled Measure 114, Oregon’s new gun law, violates the state constitution.

Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors

when the state constitution was adopted with the provision that people shall have the right to bear arms for their defense. Raschio referenced Oregon’s frontier history to justify his ruling.

“The court finds the (voters) of 1857 did not seek to restrain access to the best firearms with the highest functionality possible they could procure,” the judge wrote in the 44-page ruling, which notes the state constitution was adopted in an era when pioneers “engaged in forceable removal of the Indigenous tribes of Oregon” and wanted the best weapons possible.

The law also would ban large-capacity magazines with more than 10 rounds which can lead to widespread carnage in a mass shooting.

The judge found the ban on large-capacity magazines “does not enhance public safety” enough to justify the infringement of the right to bear arms.

In an alert to its members, the Oregon Firearms Federation praised the ruling and the judge, saying Raschio

Install smoke alarms on the ceiling of every room and in areas such as hallways.

Install carbon monoxide detectors 5 feet or higher outside each bedroom or sleeping area and in attached garages.

Every level of the home should have a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector.

Smoke alarms should be at least 10 feet away from the stove to reduce false alarms.

Carbon monoxide detectors should be at least 15 feet away from gasburning fireplaces, stoves, or other gas-burning appliances to reduce false alarms.

Test alarms at least once a month or more frequently if indicated by the user manual.

Replace the unit at least every 10 years or sooner if recommended by the manufacturer.

Ensure alarms and detectors are loud enough to wake you. Plan and practice your evacuation routes and meeting points with your entire household, including pets.

“

The court finds the (voters) of 1857 did not seek to restrain access to the best firearms with the highest functionality possible they could procure.

Judge Robert Raschio

“took a brave stand in the face of a full frontal assault on gun rights by Oregon’s establishment leftists.”

But the gun rights organization warned that more legal battles lie ahead.

Jess Marks, executive director of the Oregon Alliance for Gun Safety, expects that as well.

“Every day that Measure 114 is held up in court, Oregon lives are put at risk,” Marks said in a statement. “We expect that the state of Oregon will appeal this misguided ruling and that a higher court will see fit to allow this voter-approved law to go into effect. Lives depend on it.”

Every year, hundreds Oregonians die from gun violence, suicides or accidental shootings. In 2022, 803 Oregonians visited hospital emergency rooms with firearm-related injuries, according to

Oregon Health Authority data. In 2021, 670 people in Oregon died from firearms, according to federal data.

In the federal lawsuit, the U.S. District Court ruled that Measure 114 is constitutional, upholding the law. Gun rights organizations have appealed the federal ruling to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Highway traffic crash claims coast resident STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc. A North Bend resident has died in a traffic crash along U.S. Highway 101, according to Oregon State Police (OSP).

OSP Troopers responded to the two-vehicle crash at 11:35 a.m. Nov. 27, near milepost 226 in Coos County.

The preliminary OSP investigation indicated a northbound BMW 540, operated by 24-year-old Andrew Chase Carlson of North Bend, had a mechanical issue related to a tire when the operator lost control of the vehicle.

The BMW slid sideways into the oncoming lane and was struck on the passenger side by a southbound Kenworth dump truck, operated by 42-year-old Todd David Szarkowski of Coquille.

Carlson was declared deceased at the scene. The operator of the Kenworth, Szarkowski, was not injured.

Highway 101 at the scene of the crash was impacted for approximately four hours during the on-scene investigation.

“

Oregon’s voter-approved gun law that would require permits and a safety course violates the state constitution, a Harney County Circuit Court judge ruled on Tuesday, Nov. 21.

The ruling is a setback for gun safety advocates who backed Measure 114 in response to gun violence and mass shootings and convinced Oregon voters to pass it in 2022. Gun rights groups challenged the state law in federal court as well as Harney County Circuit Court.

The law has not gone into effect with the litigation pending. The ruling effectively means Measure 114 will not become a reality, unless Judge Robert Raschio’s decision is overturned in a higher court.

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum promised to appeal the case.

“The Harney County judge’s ruling is wrong,” Rosenblum said in a statement. “ Wo r s e , it needlessly puts Oregonians’ lives at risk.

The state will file an appeal and we believe we will prevail.”

The Gun Owners Foundation and Gun Owners of America, Inc., both based in Virginia, were plaintiffs in the original complaint filed in Harney County, but they voluntarily dropped out at the end of May. Harney County residents Joseph Arnold and Cliff Asmussen are plaintiffs in the case, giving it standing to be filed in the conservative eastern Oregon county.

The judge, Raschio, decided the case based upon the law’s application to the state constitution, not the U.S. Constitution and Second Amendment rights.

During a six-day trial in September, Raschio heard from experts about firearms and Oregon history, including the lives of Oregonians in 1857

IN THE GARDEN

A gardener’s wish list

CHIP BUBL Pilot Guest Column

I know this is pushing the calendar, but I thought it made sense to have some gardening Christmas gift ideas in this column.

• Nice gardening g l o v e s , especially those flexible kinds that rose thorns d o n ’ t penetrate or Chip nice-fitting Bubl l e a t h e r gloves.

• Knee pads or knee benches for gardeners to make close work less of a pain.

• A well-made spading fork or shovel.

• Cast aluminum hand tools or specially designed “ergonomic” tools for less muscle strain. This is increasingly important as one gets older.

• High quality loppers or hand pruners. Felco makes outstanding hand pruners that, with care, will last a very long time but there are other quite good brands.

• Gift certificates to garden centers.

• A soil thermometer is always useful to know when to plant seeds. So are moisture meters with 12-inch probes that you poke into the soil or media to know which plants (in containers or in-the-ground plants) need water.

• Q Knot reusable cable ties are handy for staking tomatoes or trellises. Get them from a local hardware store.

• Manual or electric water timer. This device can be attached to any faucet, and automatically shuts off water after a set amount of time. Get a single or dual model from a hardware store.

• Corona Quick Tool Sharpener. A pocket-sized tool for sharpening pruners, shears, blades.

• Floating row covers are lightweight blankets to put over vegetables that help capture warmth and protect plants in the spring. Heavier gauge ones can even protect against extreme heat or cold.

• A Hori Hori Knife is a transplant knife from Japan, that’s part trowel and part knife. Also, good for dispatching slugs. It is a great tool.

• Folding pruning saws are necessary for pruning also handy for camping or backpacking. Fiskers, Barnel, Stihl, or Corona are good brands.

• LED headlamp is handy tool for gardening, locating slugs (if you are so inclined), or just looking around in your garden at night. If you have close neighbors, warn them of your new hobby. Also good for looking for carpenter ant evidence under your house.

Christmas trees, already?

The enthusiasm for a longer Christmas season seems to have no bounds.

We have already gotten calls about Christmas tree care. The good news is that Christmas tree species grown here generally hold up for a fairly long time.

Some factors that influence how long a tree lasts include time inside the house (houses are very drying), temperature of the room (cooler is better and never near a heat source), the size of the tree (larger trees tend to hold moisture better, table top trees are

the worst), the tree species (Nobles, Nordmann, and Turkish firs seem to be the best with Douglas fir not too far behind), weather before and when the tree was cut (drier weather tends to lower the base moisture continent and thus storage time, a possible issue this year), and whether the base of the tree is kept constantly in water after harvest (make a fresh basal cut on the trunk to ensure tree water uptake, often four gallons the first week the tree is in the house, when it is first brought into the house).

Chemical treatments to prolong tree life have rarely shown results.

Living Christmas trees

I get quite a few questions about managing a living Christmas tree. These are conifer trees that are purchased in containers or “balled and burlapped.”

Most haven’t been out of the ground for a very long time before they are sold.

Since the point of a living tree is to keep it alive after Christmas and for many years to come, you must know something about how to keep it alive. First, these trees cannot be brought into the house for very long.

Most suppliers recommend an inside period of one week or less, in the coolest space possible. In a warm house, these trees will come out of dormancy and since the inside conditions are generally quite dry, they will start to move lots of moisture through their needles. The container the tree is in must be able to be watered to keep the root ball moist.

Right after Christmas, move the tree outside. If you were thinking ahead, you have prepared a hole to plant it into. Most conifers will not do well in dense, poorly drained clay soils.

If that is what you have, I would skip the living tree idea. Finally, plant the tree where it will have room to grow.

A noble fir can grow very tall so plant it where it can develop its character and not interfere with your other landscape selections.

They are great trees in a landscape when wellplaced. Unfortunately, many people don’t appreciate the tree’s growth potential and they find that the location where they planted it isn’t appropriate.

THIS THING CALLED LIFE

Winter is coming and I am prepared

MICHELLE PIERSON YOUNG Pilot Guest Column

A cold slap from the winter wind can be enough to steal oneself for the coming months.

In the Pendleton Store, I bated the sales associate.

“Do you want to know Michelle what I hate more than Young being cold?”

I asked. Her quizzical look was enough response for me to continue. “Nothing,” I declared. Her laugh was my payoff.

We’ve been stealed even more against the winter of our lives. As a woman, I’m clear the best years were supposedly in my 20s and 30s. This is disappointing since I spent those years working myself to death and suffering. Both were optional, if only I’d known.

It’s my opinion that not

only have we been misled regarding aging and what it holds, but we’ve idealized being young, putting pressure on people who, we are forgetting, don’t have as much context and experience. Maybe they have tighter bums, but with significantly less life experience, there’s less context, perspective and hope.

I was a shotgun who believed I’d hit the bullseye if I shot enough stuff.

Maybe I obliterated some of those targets, but I could have done so with less ammo, more elegance, and less collateral damage. It’s rough not having a history of, “everything is going to be okay, even if it takes some time.” With real world/real years experiences under our belt, this “knowing” is the peace we’ve earned.

I’ve seen some long, cold and dark seasons that seemed they’d never end.

I’ve felt deep loss thinking of the time consumed by those seasons. The ones

VIEWPOINT

where its not that much fun to go outside, but you really want to go outside, but you’re stuck with the weather.

I respect the coming season. I don’t have control over what’s coming, but I can prepare and even make the season a generous and, in the best of times, a gentle experience, warm and protected from harsh winds.

It’s dreamy to imagine living in the summer sun forever. But I’ve known the breathtaking pleasure of a cold that sucks your breath away in small clouds.

Tears have stung my eyes watching snowflakes wisp down, insulating the forest floor. Fat, cold snowflakes and the dark days on which they fell, remind me of summer and the contrast feels like joy. There is no warm without the cold.

Winter’s coming and man does his topsy turvy, looped-dee-loos through history. We long for the ease of peace and the comfort of the warm sun that keeps us

safe and easy. But we know from experience that these seasons are ancient and necessary patterns. We need remember the path to spring is to trod through winter.

In truth, we also remember too-long summers when we begged for relief.

Winter’s coming. When we see it in the long view it’s a beautiful dance and a delight to participate in the waxing and waning of energy.

May the coming winter be one of peace for you.

If your memory doesn’t stretch through a long history of cold times, I hope you’ll entertain for a minute that we’re all in the natural dance and neither can we escape the rhythm nor would we wouldn’t want to. Eternal summer is not natural and there is at least a peace in surrendering to that truth.

So, I’m excited for this opportunity.

Every year, I host town hall meetings for all 36 Oregon counties. I’ll use this monthly column as an extension of that town hall spirit and the “Oregon

Way” to answer questions and address issues that have come up in the town hall meetings in your communities, which means these topics will be relevant and local to you.

One topic I hear about in every rural and coastal community is the lack of affordable, quality child care.

If it feels more difficult to find child care than it used to be, that’s because it is. Since 1999, the total number of child care slots in Oregon has dropped by about 6,600. Oregon State University estimates that, for families of infants and toddlers, 35 of 36 counties qualify as child care deserts where there can be as many as 10 children competing for the same child care spot.

The numbers are stark.

Up north, at the mouth of the Columbia River, Clatsop County has child

many struggle with hunger BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article

Efforts in Congress

needing on the ground,” Dewey said.

The needs have increased as extra pandemic-related food benefits from the government have stopped.

During the pandemic, most families received 70% more in their monthly allotment of federal food aid, called the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or SNAP. The extra aid ended in March, with the average household allotment falling from $450 a month to about $300. The state also paid out the last of the pandemic-related extra food benefits for low-income families with young children in October.

“Those supports – when they ended it – really, really put folks in a dire situation,” Dewey said.

The food bank has five warehouses throughout the state that deliver to 21 regional food banks and more than 1,400 other points, including meal sites, delivery programs and pantries. Those sites are critical for rural and frontier areas in Oregon with food insecurity that are not near a large regional pantry, Dewey said.

The operation puts out fresh produce and dairy products, with an eye toward offering nutritional food that aligns with the cultural and ethnic backgrounds of Oregonians.

“Being able to partner with local fishers and ranchers and farmers and other growers really has been advantageous to supplying fresh produce to our communities,” Dewey said. “You know, this is not a warehouse where you walk in and it’s just all Ramen.”

After the pandemic ended, the demand for food continued to increase in Oregon, with the need for millions more pounds of produce, pasta and other staples at meal sites and food pantries.

The Oregon Food Bank distributed more than 104 million pounds of food in the fiscal year from July 2022 through June 30, an 11% increase from the prior year. High housing and fuel costs coupled with inflation have contributed to the hunger of tens of thousands of Oregonians.

U.S. Rep. Andrea Salinas, who represents Oregon’s 6th Congressional District, has noticed the surge in demand. Earlier this month, she introduced a bill that would double the amount of federal funding for the program that keeps Oregon pantries stocked with items.

Growing demand The Oregon Food Bank, which distributes food to more than 1,400 locations throughout Oregon and southwest Washington, has seen demand grow over the past three years.

Before the pandemic, about 860,000 people annually visited the food bank’s partners in Oregon and southwest Washington, said Morgan Dewey, a spokesperson for the nonprofit food bank. This year, the food bank is on track to serve more than 1 million people, Dewey said.

“We’re just continuing to try to keep up with how much food folks are

Oregon’s congressional members are looking for ways to keep produce in pantries. Earlier this month, Salinas announced she has introduced a bill to help food banks and local farmers by allowing the U.S. Department of Agriculture to purchase more food directly from producers, including Oregon farmers.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture purchases food products that are sent to the Oregon Food Bank as part of the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.

Essentially, the bill would cut back on red tape and allow the federal government to consider other factors beyond simply the lowest price when considering bids from food producers. This, in turn, would set the stage for smaller family farms to get more contracts that put their products in Oregon pantries.

Salinas, a Democrat, is sponsoring the bill with U.S. Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-California.

“The pandemic caused higher rates of food insecurity in Oregon and across the country, and food banks have struggled to keep up with the increased demand,” Salinas said in a statement. “The Farmers Feeding America Act will address this problem by providing more funding for the Emergency Food Assistance Program, ensuring our local food banks are fully stocked.”

The bill also would double the federal funding for the program, which was about $20 million for Oregon in 2022.

“With increased funding for The Emergency Food Assistance Program and new resources for food distribution and storage, this legislation will help our communities procure fresh produce and dairy products and address food deserts – especially in under-resourced and remote areas,” Oregon Food Bank President Susannah Morgan said in a statement. “No one should be hungry, and this investment will have a resounding impact for millions of people facing food insecurity.”

Long term For the long-term, it’s important to look for ways to address the economic circumstances driving hunger, Dewey said. Those can include unaffordable housing and a lack of access to health care.

“We can serve everyone who is standing in line for a meal or standing in line to get a grocery bag full of food,” Dewey said. “We can serve all those people today, but hunger still won’t go away tomorrow.” h t t p s : / / oregoncapitalchronicle. com/2023/11/28/demandfor-food-spikes-in-pastyear-as-many-oregoniansstruggle-with-hunger/ O re g o n Capital Chronicle is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.

ALEX BAUMHARDT Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article

Investing in private timberland in the West has become increasingly risky, according to a new study from Oregon State University researchers, with values declining by billions of dollars in the last two decades.

The economic value of private timberland in California, Oregon and Washington has declined by about $11 billion since 2004, or around 10%, due to the threat of drought and wildfires, according to a new study from researchers at Oregon State University.

“The bulk of the damage is from altered risk expectations in land markets – not direct damage to the existing tree stock on the stand,” Yuhan Wang, a postdoctoral scholar at Oregon State and the study’s lead author, said in a news release. “That is a key and somewhat surprising finding.”

Wang and David Lewis, a natural resource economist at Oregon State, published their findings Nov. 7 in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management.

They said climate change is responsible for at least half the decline in values when correlated with recent scientific studies on climate change impacts and attribution to natural disasters.

“This study shows that climate change is already reducing the value of Western forests,” Lewis said.

About one-third of all forests in the three West Coast states are privately owned and farmed for timber. The bulk of all timber harvested in the three states was from privately owned forests as opposed to state and federal forests.

Wang and Lewis looked at more than 9,000 private forestland sales of 10 acres or more that were made between 2004 and 2020 in the three states. Then, they compared the places where sales took place with data on drought and small and large wildfires nearby.

They found that, on average, the growing prevalence of drought had lowered the economic value of timberland by 1% since 2004 and increases in large wildfires had reduced timberland values nearly 9%. Declining values from wildfires were found to be related to the risk of wildfires rather than actual damages.

In California, increasingly large wildfires have led to the biggest losses in timberland value – about 14% over the last two decades. In western Oregon, where the bulk of the state’s private timberland is located, growing wildfire threats accounted for a nearly 8% decline in private timberland values, and drought was responsible for about a 1.5% decline.

Private timberland in western Washington experienced the mildest losses – about 5% from wildfire and less than 1% from drought. In eastern Washington, private timberland values have declined 8% due to the risk of large wildfires and 3.5% from ongoing drought.

Trump won’t be blocked from Oregon ballot

OBITUARY

JULIA SHUMWAY Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article

JoAnn (McClure) Bangs May 9, 1934 - Nov. 17, 2023

The sun lost some of its shine when Jo Ann fell asleep in death on November 17th after a very brief illness.

Born in West Texas, Jo Ann moved to California as a youth with her family. In 1951, Jo Ann married William ´Bill´ E m b r y.

Together t h e y raised four children- Dan, John, Ruth, and Sam. In the early 60’s, Jo Ann was a Cub Scout Den Mother. So, she also helped raise more than her own, one could say.

She taught kids honesty, respect, and love of life.

Jo Ann always dreamed of living next to the ocean with its cool weather and fresh air. She retired from the State of California in Sacramento in 1997 and moved to the California Central Coast. Then, nearly ten years ago she further realized her dream of living next to the ocean in moving to Brookings Oregon. She was devoted to family and friends and was loved by all. Studying the Bible regularly gave her faith in God’s promises.

Jo Ann had many interests. She was an avid reader, she was an expert seamstress, loved watching movies, and listening to music.

Curry Coastal Pilot

She also loved to travel.

In her later years she traveled extensively through Central and South America and Europe. She traveled with friends and family and sometimes she traveled alone.

Preceded in death are grandson Jeff Wallace, granddaughter Daniella Embry, and sister Linda McClure.

Jo Ann leaves behind son Dan Embry, daughter-inlaw Silvia Embry, son John Embry, daughterin-law Debbie Embry, daughter Ruth Mollica, son-in-law Darrell Mollica, son Sam Embry; granddaughters Jennifer E m b r y, Sarah Kuhl (great granddaughter Sophia), Billie Embry (great grandsons Ty l e r, Landyn, Olyver), Jackie Embry (great grandson Bentley); sisters, Lois Coulter, Pat Wells, Toni Meritt; brothers, Wilbur McClure, (sister-inlaw, Bertha McClure), Roger Paarman, (sisterin-law, Joyce Paarman); and many nieces and nephews.

Although it is hard to say goodbye to Jo Ann (our mother, grandmother, sister, and friend), the love she left behind will remain with us all the days of our lives.

Per Jo Ann’s request, no service is planned.

Family and Friends will gather at a later date in 2024 to spread her ashes.

Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade won’t bar former President Donald Trump from appearing on primary ballots despite an ongoing pressure campaign, she announced Thursday, Nov. 30.

Griffin-Valade cited legal guidance from the Oregon Department of Justice, whose attorneys told her that presidential primaries operate differently than other races and she doesn’t have the authority to determine whether those candidates meet the qualifications to run. The results of presidential primaries provide direction on how delegates should vote at a nominating convention, but they don’t directly elect candidates or even guarantee the winning candidate is the nominee.

But Griffin-Valade left open the possibility that she could block Trump from the ballot in the 2024 general election if he is the Republican nominee because of his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection and the potential that his return to office again would violate Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, intended to block former Confederates from gaining power after losing the Civil War. “I understand that people want to skip to the end of this story. But right now, we don’t even know who the nominee will be,” she said in a statement. “When the general election comes, we’ll follow the law and be completely transparent with our reasoning.”

Solicitor General Benjamin Gutman said in a five-page letter to Griffin-Valade that it was prudent to defer considering the general election, citing ongoing litigation in other states and the question of whether Republicans nominate Trump. He still commands a strong lead in polls, though he also faces 91 felony counts in New York, Georgia, Florida and Washington, D.C. “Whether Section 3 bars former

Barron’s

President Donald Trump from returning to office is a question of paramount importance to American democracy,” Gutman wrote. “But it is not a question that the Legislature has charged the secretary with determining when assembling a list of candidates at the primary election stage. Instead, that important question must be resolved in

RLUIPA is a federal law that protects religious institutions from unduly burdensome or discriminatory land use regulations. In June 2018, the Justice Department announced its Place to Worship Initiative, which focuses on RLUIPA’s provisions that protect the rights of houses of worship and other religious institutions to worship on their land.

Specifically, it asserts that RLUIPA’s protections apply in this context, that St. Timothy’s provision of meals to people in need is protected religious exercise and that the city’s attempt to restrict St. Timothy’s meal service may have substantially burdened the

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: Richard Alan Hagel Case Number: PB20237061 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Richard Alan Hagel A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Lalania Fink, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte.

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

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

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

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

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: December 8, 2023 Time: 10:00am Dept.: 2 Address of the Court: 450

H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

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

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

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

“The sponsors keep the lights shining bright” Nature’s Coastal Holiday Board of Directors member

Curry Coastal Pilot

Leslie Wilkinson said.

The organization offers signage to sponsors to help keep the lights on.

Other than helping to replace lights that are beyond refurbishment and maintaining storage, all proceeds from the event

go toward funding projects that directly impact the community.

Though there are still ideas on the table for this year, last year Nature’s Coastal Holiday pledged $30,000 toward rebuilding Kidtown in Azalea Park.

“We always try to keep improving Azalea Park, so that the community can directly benefit,” Wilkinson said.

Volunteers are always needed with the next major volunteer day schedule Jan. 6, for packing up the

festival.

“Verbal thank you’s are great, but the actual physical labor means more.” Wilkinson said while outlining the work that goes into the event each year. She also went on to issue a challenge to

the photographers of the area, “We are wonderful at setting up the display, but we stink as photographers.”

constitutional provision of the Constitution, Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, is followed, and that Donald Trump be barred from appearing on the presidential primary and general election ballot in Oregon,” said John Bonifaz, the group’s president.

The group argues that Trump is ineligible to hold federal office because the 14th Amendment bars anyone who previously took an oath to support the U.S. Constitution and then

“engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof” from serving in office.

Trump swore to uphold the Constitution at his inauguration, then incited the Jan. 6 attack.

Election o ff i c i a l s routinely prevent candidates from running for office if they don’t meet basic qualifications – for instance, people who are too young for offices with age limits or who don’t live

in a district with residency requirements. In two highprofile recent Oregon cases, former Secretary of State Shemia Fagan blocked New York Times columnist Nick Kristof from running for governor for residency reasons and Griffin-Valade disqualified conservative state senators who skipped more than 10 days of floor sessions and were ineligible to run for reelection because of a voterapproved state law meant to discourage walkouts. The

state Supreme Court upheld Fagan’s decision and will consider Griffin-Valade’s in December.

Bonifaz said there is judicial precedent to bar Trump from the ballot, citing a decision by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that upheld a 2012 California decision to bar a 27-year-old from appearing on the presidential primary ballot because presidents must be at least 35. That shows that state election officials

have the right to block unqualified candidates from presidential primary ballots, he said.

child care is nearly $13,700 a year – or more than instate tuition at Portland State University.

As one mother put it, “A day care bill is a mortgage right now.”

Parents who can’t find afford child care options often are forced to use up their paid time off or drop out of the workforce altogether. In Clatsop County, it got so bad that

two hospital systems donated funding for local child care services because of staffing shortages.

Child care workers need to be paid a living wage, too. The average child care worker in Oregon makes about $12.90 an hour, and the profession has high burnout and turnover rates.

What can we do about it? During the pandemic, Congress created Child

Care Stabilization Grants that sustained approximately 220,000 child care providers, saved an estimated 9.6 million child care slots, and protected more than 1 million child care jobs across the country. Oregon received nearly $250 million to sustain more than 3,000 child care programs and support more than 80,000 children. But those

funds expired on Sept. 30.

We need to pass the Child Care Stabilization Act to restore this successful and needed program. Then we need to build on it by passing the Child Care and Working Families Act so eligible families pay no more than 7% of their income on child care.

Middle-class families deserve a break. This legislation is a start, and

I will continue to fight to expand and improve child care in Oregon and across the country.

Ballot Continued from Page 6 – and one could happen in Oregon. Free Speech for People, the national advocacy group that has spent more than two years urging top election officials around the country to block Trump from primary ballots, has retained two Oregon attorneys.

“We disagree with the secretary’s statement, but we are going to proceed with next steps to ensure that this important

Continued from Page 4 care for only 8% of its infants and toddlers.

Farther south, it drops to 6% in Lincoln County.

And, down in Curry County, there’s only child care for 3% of their infants and toddlers.

Even if that spot becomes available, families may not be able to afford it. In Oregon, the average cost of

Council

Continued from Page 1 did not fill one position, and if another resignation was submitted, there would be no quorum on the council. Without a quorum, the Brookings city council could no longer function, which is unacceptable.”

Councilors Hodges, Martin, and Fulton have 60 days to fill the vacancies through appointment or special election, according to the city charter. Should a quorum fail to be reached an election would be required.

Hodges anticipates that this would be disastrous for Brookings.

“In summary, to sit back and allow for the dissolution of a quorum in the city council would be a total failure of leadership on my part, and it would mean the city would go several months with no operational city council,” he said.

With the recall not officially certified until Dec. 4 at the earliest, an additional election would require another 90 to 120 days for further certification, leaving the city with little to no oversight in multiple departments, including the city manager’s office.

“The root of the recall centered on the city manager retaining her position,” Hodges said.

“Given the results of the recall, it is obvious that the overwhelming majority of citizens have concerns with the city manager. Again, a quorum must be maintained to ensure proper operation of the city, specifically the direct supervision of the city manager.”

Fulton sets priorities Fulton, who is entering the fray during a pivotal period for the city, remains optimistic.

“I feel excited to be representing the residents of Brookings and working with the other city council members to establish policies, create goals, present and adopt a functioning well planned out budget, and provide direction and oversight to our city manager” she said.

“One of my goals is to create a council environment where everyone is respected and opinions of all citizens are valued. The creation of policies, programs, and initiatives need to reflect our communities needs and concerns while offering transparency throughout the decision-making process”.

Tr a n s p a r e n c y and accountability seem at the

top Fulton’s list of priorities.

“My steps to build faith include creating strong relationships, holding ourselves and city manager accountable, striving to be transparent, and encouraging citizen input.”

She emphasized the important role that Brookings residents will play in rebuilding faith in the council.

“I’m most hopeful about increasing active citizen participation,” she said.

“I encourage Brookings residents to contact me through my city email or come to council meetings to share during citizen input.”

When asked about her position about City Manager Howard, Fulton doubled down on accountability and the importance of the voice of the people.

“I am working toward providing additional ways to increase citizen voice by holding forums and meet and greets, interviewing businesses and key partners, and developing a couple of short surveys for public input,” she said.

“As a council member I am holding myself, the council, and city manager accountable while assessing our impact on and for the citizens of Brookings.”

Interested citizens According to a city release Nov. 28, 14 applicants had applied for the two open council positions. That list includes: Anthony Bond, Nicholas Chapman, Diana Cooper, Bruce Flowers, Jim Jollota, Judy Kaplan, Thena Larteri Lyons, Teresa Lawson, Clayton Malmberg, Candice Michel, Phoebe Pereda, Blake Peters, DeAnne Varitek, and Nicole Winn.

The Brookings City Council will hold interviews with the candidates in the coming weeks. Specific dates had not been made public by city officials as of Nov. 29. The Pilot will monitor the process and report the results when final selections are made.

Though not a typical election, the opinions of the public can hold a significant weight in these major appointments. Citizens are encouraged to reach out to their representatives on the council via the contact information on the city website.
