Chetco Library Board Fills Vacancy, Appoints Cora Rose
BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot
The Chetco Community Public Library Board of Directors filled a vacant board position at their recent meeting, appointing Cora Rose to the position.
“It is an exciting time to come aboard as the library implements a new strategic plan for 2025-2027, with a mission to serve as a community hub to inspire ideas, build connections and promote lifelong learning and growth,” said Rose.
Members of the board conducted interviews with four candidates for the open seat: Tony Parrish, Robert Nowell, Cora Rose, and Karyn-Lynn Fisette.
Board members Kathleen Dickson and Sue Dodgen interviewed the candidates and presented their recommendations to the full board.
“I thank Kathleen Dickson and Sue Dodgen for their work in interviewing candidates and presenting their findings to the board,” said Library Director Julie VanHoose.
Dickson advocated for Rose, highlighting her community involvement, fresh perspective, and readiness to serve. Dodgen, while acknowledging Rose's valuable community work, expressed concern that
her board service might impact existing community programs. Rose assured the board that would not be the case.
“I look forward to working with other board members and staff to continue the excellent programming at our library and to dream up additional ways to expand horizons, and engage and connect our community,” said Rose.
Dodgen recommended Robert Nowell, emphasizing his valuable experience and unique perspective. Dickson also praised Nowell as a strong candidate, acknowledging his desire to serve and articulate his vision for the library.
The board discussed the merits of each candidate before ultimately voting to appoint Cora Rose to the vacant board position.
“Cora Rose is a wonderful addition to the library board, and I look forward to working with her,” said VanHoose. “I am grateful the board reached consensus on this new board member by unanimously voting to appoint her.”
In other business, the board appointed Pat Piper as Chair, Sue Dodgen as ViceChair, and Peggy Goergen as Treasurer for the upcoming year.
New Library Board Member: Cora Rose joins the all-women board at the Chetco Public Library.
NEWS RELEASE FROM OREGON DEPT OF FORESTRY
The Oregon Department of Forestry has been delivering on the commitment to get outstanding payments to wildland fire vendors as quickly as possible. The department processed $88 million since the Legislature allocated the department $191.5 million for the historic and costly 2024 fire season during its recent special session.
“Without these vendors, we could not have provided Oregonians with the wildfire protection we did this year,” said State Forester Cal Mukumoto, ODF director. “It was critically important to take care of those who served right alongside us all summer.”
Prior to the recent special session, ODF had paid out $130 million in fire season costs. Some of that money came from the State Emergency Board which allocated $40 million toward the state’s portion of large fire costs in September, but the other $90 million was paid from the budgets of non-fire ODF programs.
Under the state’s current
wildfire funding structure, ODF uses budgeted funds from its other lines of business to pay for fire season costs and then carries that debt while awaiting federal reimbursements. This approach worked when gross large fire costs were averaging $11 million a year. Over the past decade, that average jumped to around $79 million, but the funding provided for large fires hasn’t increased accordingly.
"I commend the ODF
team for their swift action to ensure the state's fire season costs are paid after having received the necessary resources from the Legislature during the recent special session. Again, my appreciation to lawmakers for their expeditious work,” said Governor Tina Kotek. “Next year, I look forward to working with legislators to ensure the state finds a pathway for sustainable funding to cover wildfire costs in the years ahead."
Despite ODF’s effort, this year’s large fire costs far exceeded the funds ODF could muster, resulting in significant delays in payments to the companies that provide critical firefighting resources like people, aircraft and heavy equipment.
“It was a stressful time for our folks, as many had to take out credit lines to make their payrolls and pay their bills,” explained Deborah Miley, executive director, National Wildfire
Suppression Association.
“Our members provide a significant amount of response to assist our agency partners during fire season, and we are proud to provide quality, cost-effective resources in Oregon’s time of need and look forward to continuing to serve.”
Remaining fire costs are still under review. All charges and associated documentation are reviewed for accuracy and completeness by department payment teams prior to being approved for payment.
“While the $191.5 million from the special session will help ODF considerably in cash flow management over the remainder of the biennium, the cashflow issue is just a symptom of the larger problem: how wildfire response and mitigation are funded in Oregon. The way response and mitigation are currently funded is inadequate to address the
growing complexity and cost of wildfires Oregon faces today,” Mukumoto said. “The workgroup we have been heading up with the Department of the State Fire Marshal has been working hard for the past several months to identify alternative funding strategies to bring to the 2025 Legislature for consideration.” The Governor’s Recommended Budget for the 2025-27 biennium identifies the need for at least an additional $130 million through new revenue to modernize and fully fund the state’s wildfire readiness and mitigation programs on an ongoing basis. This direction is in addition to the specific recommendation for $150 million to be redirected from going into state reserves and instead be appropriated to the agencies to pay for wildfire suppression costs as needed.

Homelessness solutions one of LOC legislative priorities
By JEREMY C. RUARK
Country Media, Inc.
Homelessness and housing challenges continue to be issues throughout cities across Oregon.
Homelessness and housing are part of the nine priorities adopted by the League of Oregon Cities’ (LOC) Board of Directors for the 2025 and 2026 Oregon legislative sessions. The priorities have been identified through a committee process during the spring of this year, and a vote by the LOC’s 241 member cities this summer. The following nine issues received the most votes and were adopted by the LOC Board:
1) Community Infrastructure and Housing Development Funding - The LOC will advocate for a comprehensive infrastructure package that supports increased water, sewer, stormwater, and road investments from that state. Without continual infrastructure investments, communities cannot build needed housing; these two priorities are inherently
linked. To this end, the LOC will advocate for continued state investments to support the development and preservation of a range of needed housing types and affordability.
2) 2025 Transportation Package - The LOC will support a robust, long-term, multimodal transportation package focused on: stabilizing funding for operations and maintenance for local governments and ODOT; continued investment in transit and bike/ped programs, safety, and congestion management; and completion of projects from HB 2017. This objective includes support for a transition from a gas tax to a road user fee and improved community safety and livability.
3) Recreational Immunity - The LOC will introduce legislation to protect cities and other landowners who open their property for recreational purposes from tort liability claims.
4) Behavioral Health Enhancements - The LOC will support legislation to expand access to behavioral health
treatment beds and allow courts greater ability to direct persons unable to care for themselves into treatment through the civil commitment process.
5) Lodging Tax Flexibility - The LOC will advocate for legislation that increases the flexibility to use locally administered and collected lodging tax revenue to support tourism-impacted services. These services include public safety, community infrastructure, and housing-related investments.
6) Shelter Funding and Homeless ResponseThe LOC will support a comprehensive homeless response package to fund the needs of homeless shelters, homeless response efforts statewide, and capital projects. Funding will include baseline operational support to continue and strengthen coordinated regional homeless response and include a range of shelter types and services and other related services.
7) Address Energy Affordability Challenges from Rising Utility Costs - The LOC will
support actions to maintain affordable, reliable, and resilient energy resources and invest in programs and new technology that support energy efficiency, renewable energy, battery storage, and resilient communities. These efforts will help address members’ concerns about increased costs associated with energy usage.
8) Operator-In-Training
Apprenticeships - The LOC will advocate for funding apprenticeship training programs and expanding bilingual training opportunities to promote the workforce development of qualified wastewater and drinking water operators.
9) ORS 195.530 Johnson v. Grants Pass - The LOC will advocate public policy that allows cities to respond to the unique
needs of their community’s housed and unhoused members. This advocacy will include adjustments to ORS 195.530 to provide cities with the necessary tools to address unsafe camping conditions, safeguard public spaces, and protect the health, safety, and wellness of all community members.

Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation’s wastewater project gets financial boost with an agreement with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
$800,000 supports project that will improve health and well-being of low-income Tribal Citizens
Smith River, CA: The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Wednesday, Dec. 18, signed a ceremonial agreement that will provide the Nation with $800,000 toward extensive improvements to a 50-year-old wastewater system serving low-income households at Xaa-wan’-k’wvt (Howonquet) Village and Resort in Smith River, Calif.
The Nation’s Tribal Council met with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers representatives for a ceremonial signing of the agreement, exchange gifts and enjoy a meal while taking in the view of the Smith River Estuary, just a few miles south of the California/Oregon border. Attendees discussed the wastewater system project planned for the area as well as Tolowa Deeni’ culture, history and environmental practices.
“This is a historic partnership between the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that will ultimately improve the health and well-being of our community as well as the surrounding environment,” said Tribal Council Chairperson Jeri Lynn Thompson. “This agreement is only the first step in securing overall funding for a project that will ultimately connect 150-plus low-income homes to a quality regional wastewater system by replacing the existing outdated, lagoonbased wastewater system.”
“We are extremely proud to partner with the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation on a project that I’m confident will greatly improve the living conditions of those who call this beautiful part of California home,” said Lt. Col. Timothy Shebesta, commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District.
“As an added benefit, the project will help assure the pristine environment of the Smith River watershed, and we look forward to bringing our collective expertise to the table.”
The Nation plans to replace wastewater infrastructure at Xaawan'-k'wvt Village and
Resort, located at the Mouth of the Smith River, on the Pacific Ocean.
The property, formerly known as the Ship Ashore Mobile Home Park, was purchased by the Nation in 2016, and renamed to Xaa-wan'-k'wvt Village & Resort, in recognition of the return of the historical Xaa-wan'-k'wvt Village, a municipality that provided the Tolowa people with governance, food, housing and worship.
While most of the infrastructure on the property has considerable deferred maintenance issues, this project is a priority for the Nation as the current wastewater system is an outdated lagoon system that does not meet current environmental regulatory standards and poses considerable health and safety concerns.
The lagoon is a quarter mile from the Smith River Estuary and is an environmental risk and hazard. Without funds for system replacement, the current system could fail, leaving 150 households without wastewater disposal and could harm the environment.
The estimated cost of the project, which consists of wastewater collection replacement and wastewater treatment plant expansion, is approximately $25 million. The project is included as part of the Water Resources Development Act, passed by Congress in 2023. The partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers is hoped to provide 75 percent of the funding needed for the project.
The Nation is seeking $6 to $7 million in additional funding from the state of California to complete the project.
Replacement of the outdated wastewater system has been a longterm goal of California’s North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board which, in 2018, funded a $500,000 preliminary engineering study to determine the best option for replacing the collection and treatment systems. This study determined the best option was to replace the existing collection systems and lift stations that carry wastewater 1.1 miles north to the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, owned and operated by the Nation. This would roughly double the capacity of the plant, a modern, membrane bioreactor treatment plant that has been operating for 12-plus years with certified operators. The project is fully designed and permitted (including NEPA), and the Coastal
Development Permit has been approved.

Members of the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation’s Tribal Council and representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District gather for the ceremonial signing at Xaa-wan’-k’wvt (Howonquet) Village and Resort in Smith River, Calif., on Dec. 18.
Tolowa Dee-ni’ Tribal Council Chairperson Jeri Thompson and Lt. Col. Timothy Shebesta sign agreement for grant funding that will help the Nation make extensive improvements to its wastewater system serving low-income households in Smith River.

August: Mt. Rainer. A series of small debris flows rumbled down Tahoma Creek, in Mount Rainier National Park. Water stored in the glacier was released and quickly gathered up loose mud, sand, soil and rock to form a debris flow. Small flows are common at Mount Rainier during late summer and early fall. The single pulse debris flow was generated and lasted about 15 minutes, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website. No one was injured and damage was limited to the stream channel inside the park.
September: Tour Can-
celled. Under a doctor’s recommendation, Ringo Starr cancelled the remaining two shows of his fall tour, sharing an unexpected health update with fans just hours before he was set to take the stage in Philadelphia.
October: Centurion. Jimmy Carter became the first former United States President to reach the age of one hundred. He served as the 39th president. He also received a Nobel Peace Prize for his work to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts.
November: Hearing Held. The United States Committee on Oversight and Accountability held a hearing titled, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena: Exposing the Truth. This was the second of such hearings. The hearing was convened to help Congress, and the American people, learn the extent of the programs and activities the United States government has engaged in relationship to Unidentified Ariel Phenomenon (UAP).
December: International Space Station (ISS). The unpiloted SpaceX Dragon spacecraft undocked from the forward port of the Harmony module at the International Space Station.
