Senator Wyden visits South Coast counties

BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc.

Oregon’s US Senator Ron Wyden (D) conducted his 1,083rd Town Hall, fulling his commitment to hold on-site public engagements in all 36 counties, annually.

Last Tuesday’s Town Hall at the Gold Beach High Gymnasium was part of the senator’s southwest swing from Josephine, Curry, Coos and Douglas counties.

The audience of about 40 was offered numbered tickets and when called upon, spoke with Wyden on a cross section of various issues important to Curry County constituents.

Off-Shore Wind Development dominated the dialogue between constituents and Sen. Wyden. Other subjects addressed included complaints with the Post Office, the Federal minimum wage, Medicare confusion, The challenging condition of Highway 101, assistance with

Second Saturday Art Walk expands Brookings begins local council

For the Pilot

Ten venues will be participating in the June 8 Second Saturday Art Walk scheduled from 3 to 6 p.m. in downtown Brookings.

“This is the largest number of venues taking part in this monthly event in several years,” said Bill Schlichting, Art Walk coordinator. “This month a new venue will be added, located inside a building that housed one of the original four when the Art Walk begin in 2004”

The original venues were Chetco Community Public Library, Manley Art Center, Brian Scott Gallery and the former Words and Pictures, which is the same building that houses Queen Bee Boutique today, the Art Walk’s newest participant. All venues must be located within two blocks of Chetco Avenue between Alder and Fifth streets. Queen Bee Boutique, which

Azalea Quilters Guild honors veterans at Festival

During Brookings’ Azalea Festival this year, Quilts of Valor were presented at the 39th annual Azalea Quilt Show, held by the Azalea Quilters Guild.

The Quilt of Valor Foundation is a national nonprofit organization, whose mission is to cover service members and veterans touched by war. The quilts are meant to convey thanks to veterans for their sacrifice.

The foundation was started in 2003 by Catherine Roberts, through word of mouth and the internet, the organization spread across the country. Since 2003 they have awarded over 393,000 quilts nationwide.

Azalea quilters first started by making the QOV quilts for the Eugene QOV chapter to present. But in 2017, they decided to become a Brookings chapter and present to our local veterans. They have presented every year since, doing porch presentations during COVID.

Making and presenting these quilts is one way the guild and our community can thank veterans for all they have done.

Veterans honored this year

were Frank Begley, Don Bemis, Robert Bents, Kirt Bliss, Willy Bradley, Jeffrey Brazil, Gary Brownell, James Forbes, Al Granados, Kris Hayne, Nichole Lensgraf, Shane Lensgraf and Robert Matthess. For more information, go to

elections

The City of Brookings released its list of openings and requirements for its City Council elections being held on November 5, 2024. There are three volunteer positions opening as terms expire. The open Council positions are for seats 1 and 2, currently occupied by Clayton Malmberg and Phoebe Pereda respectively. Both Pereda and Malmberg were appointed to these positions rather than elected, following a recall election in late 2023.

A similar situation surrounds the third opening, which is Issac Hodges current seat as Mayor. Hodges was also appointed to his position as Mayor after being elected to the City Council prior to the recall. The Council opted for his experience when nominating a new figurehead for Brookings. This election will then mark an opportunity for Malmberg, Pereda, and Hodges to turn those appointed positions into genuinely elected ones. The five-person quorum will be maintained as councilors Andy Martin and Kristi Fulton have terms running until 2027.

Those interested in throwing their hat in the ring of local politics can find more information below:

TERMS

• Council Positions 1& 2 have a four-year term beginning January 2025

• Mayoral Office has a two-year term beginning January 2025

EXPECTATIONS

• Attend at least three meetings a month.

Regular meetings are typically the 2nd and 4th

Guest Column

Hope is a Four-Letter Word

BY ABBEY HOPE Guest column

“At the end of the day, all you need is hope and strength. Hope that it will get better, and strength to hold on until it does.”

~Anonymous

As I lay here writing this article, I am battling yet another acute infection. I’ve been sick most of the winter and early spring catching every viral and bacterial infection that comes through town. My immune system seems to function enough to keep me alive but not enough to fight off infections very well. Which is why I end up with long-lasting infections. Last year I battled Epstein-Barr for about half the year, I had strep throat right before that. Before that, I had my 3rd PICC line to treat about 7 chronic UTIs, during which time I got COVID-19 which turned into long-term COVID. I could go on, but you get the point and really it all leads to the infections that started this all, Lyme Disease and its coinfection Babesia.

I was 18 years old when I got the call that my labs were positive for Lyme and Babesia. At that time, I was relieved, I had been watching my health fall apart for 9 months and no one could tell me why. So having an answer was a relief. Now all these years later I wish those tests had diagnosed me with anything else but Lyme.

It’s been 7 years now. Yeah, I actually had to do a double-take when I thought about the time. Time is different when you’re fighting a complex illness. It’s not that time goes faster, if anything it feels slower due to the constant pain and fatigue. But you are so busy fighting this war and trying to survive that weeks and months are a blur and seasons pass before you can even look up and see the time you’ve lost.

I’ve always felt a strong connection to the word “Hope”. Sure, it’s one of my middle names, so there’s the obvious connection. But it’s not just that, it’s a deeper connection I’ve felt my whole life. I was always a dreamer from a very young age. I had this confidence rooted deep in me that my future could be anything I wanted it to be. I wouldn’t say I had my head in the clouds completely. I knew anything worth accomplishing would take hard work. But with hope and hard work, I saw the sky as the limit. I don’t think I ever doubted that. Until Lyme Disease hit…

You’re probably wondering how one gets Lyme disease. Well, most commonly you get it from a tick bite. But mosquitoes or just about any bug can carry it. I know someone who even got it from sand fleas. It can also be passed congenitally from a mom to her child. Out-of-date info that indicates that Lyme is mainly in East Coast states is completely incorrect. Lyme disease can be contracted in all 50 states. Secondly, the info that says you will get a bull’s eye rash if you get Lyme is also sadly untrue. Only a very small percentage of Lyme patients ever get a bull’s eye rash. Hence you get a large number

of patients like me who have absolutely no idea where or when we got Lyme initially.

The smallest “nymph” ticks, (many the size of a poppy seed) are the most concerning, as they are almost invisible to the naked eye and often leave an undetectable bite. Here are some quick facts about Lyme:

• Lyme disease is the fastestgrowing infectious disease in the US, 1.5X more common than breast cancer and 6X more common than HIV.

• The CDC acknowledges at least 476,000 new infections each year which is a lowball number as many cases are never reported.

• Current testing often provides a false negative result.

Unfortunately, Lyme is not the only tick-borne illness. Rocky Mountain spotted fever is one, Babesia, Bartonella, relapsing fever, and more all come from tick bites too, which means most Lyme patients have more than one infection.

Here are some symptoms of Lyme and its co-infections:

• Severe fatigue, exhaustion

• Joint pain, swelling, stiffness

• Neurological impairment, inability to concentrate, memory loss, vision changes

• Difficulty with speech or writing, ear pain, buzzing or ringing

• Seizures, light-headedness, poor balance, difficulty walking, Bell’s palsy

• Cardiac issues, irregular heartbeat, murmurs, So, what have the last 7 years with Lyme been like?

Well, I don’t think I’m allowed to use some choice words in print, so I’ll improvise. It’s been terrifying. People tell me I’m strong, but I never feel like it because I’m so scared all the time. It’s been incredibly discouraging. I’ve done treatment after treatment both holistic and conventional and none of them have worked. Remember how I talked about my connection with the word Hope. You used to be able to almost see the hope in my eyes in photos. But if you were to see a series of photos from the last 7 years you would see my battle with Lyme drain more and more from my eyes every year.

Why is it so hard for Lyme warriors or feel hopeful?

Well for starters there is no known cure for chronic Lyme disease. Some patients can reach a stage of remission but even then, the infection can become active again at any moment. To add to that no one treatment works for the majority of people to achieve remission.

One person may do antibiotics for 6 years and achieve remission. Another may take 40 vitamins for 6 months and achieve remission. And yet another may do a completely different treatment and get the same results. At the same time, someone may try all those things along with a mountain of other things and still not be healthy.

Which brings us to the heart of the issue. We don’t have a cure or treatment plan because Lyme disease does not receive adequate research funding. In fact, the average dollar amount of federal funding as listed by the NIH research budget in 2022 is $106 per patient. In comparison,

research funding for the West Nile virus is $20,070 per patient, and malaria receives a whopping $108,396 per patient.

I’m not good at math, and I know advocacy work is being done to try and get more Lyme funding, but when faced with these facts one finds it hard to have hope that a cure will be found in this century.

But wait- it gets more complicated.

When an infection makes itself at home in your body it begins to cause systemic issues beyond the infection itself. It’s different for every person.

For me, it hit my nervous system. In the past 7 years from ages 18-25 while most of my friends were going to college, and starting careers and families, I have had to watch my nervous system degenerate right in front of me.

It started with excruciating pain in my abdomen. I went through 3 surgeries between my bad appendix and endometriosis, yet my pain never improved, and it got worse. After endless tests and imaging showing nothing. The doctors say my brain signals got stuck in a pain loop because of the Lyme infection and we haven’t been able to get it out of that loop. Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS previously called RSD) is pretty much what’s developed.

I also developed severe itching that had no visible cause, another case of nerve signals being messed up.

Next, my autonomic nervous system began failing and I was diagnosed with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), basically, my legs turn blue and my heart rate goes way too high.

Then my Mast Cell production system was hit and began to make me have allergies to everything under the sun.

Somewhere in the middle of this, I lost the ability to sleep like a normal person.

My stomach stopped emptying properly.

And then the damage hit my bladder causing the signals from my brain to my bladder to not connect right.

Treatments have become a constant question of “potential risk versus possible benefit” which is an equation with no firm answers. You research and pick the best you can and take it one day at a time. I do think one thing I’ve learned from this is that you’re responsible for your choices. If a treatment goes wrong, doesn’t work, etc… it’s not the treatment’s fault, it’s not the doctor’s fault, it’s simply life and part of making hard choices in an effort to someday be healthier.

John McCain once said, “Courage is not the absence of fear but the capacity to act beyond our fears.”

My point is that all of this happened in my life because Lyme bacteria got in my system and went around wreaking havoc on everything it could. I wish I could say I’m a rare case, But I’m not. I go to a Lyme support group on Zoom 4-5 times a week and there are so many others in the same fight as me. There’s an 18-year-old who never got to have a normal high school life because she is too sick. There are a few of us in our 20s grieving the young adulthood we’ve lost. Other older people have lost their careers and passions because of Lyme. Some people have made

it to remission only to have it become active again. We cry, we laugh, and we talk about the hard things. We try to find that hope that’s buried.

As I lay here at 25 staring at the clouds from my deck, I know I’m not the same hopeful kid I used to be. I know now I only get little glimpses of Hope almost like a mirage. Even if you took away the constant infections and the systemic nervous system damage, the pain in my abdomen alone is enough for one person to fight. Complex regional pain syndrome is known as the most painful condition known to man. If you look up the McGill pain scale, you’ll see it rated against other common pains. For me that pain is just another day, in a week, in a year. Lyme has made me a survivor. My 7-year-old niece recently caused me to think about something. She’s at an age where she has more questions about my health, and she’s been asking how I got Lyme and pain. I do my best to explain in simple terms. But the other day she asked me if kids and babies could get Lyme. And I was torn on what to say. I knew I was going to answer honestly, but I didn’t know what to say to mitigate her fear. Because the truth is we should be afraid of Lyme disease, but she’s watched me suffer with it her whole life, and I don’t want her to be afraid. After the fact I tried to think about how I could prepare her in a way to be armed against possible Lyme but not afraid of every bug she finds on her outside. It got me thinking about what I wish I had done differently and wondered if anything could have changed my path. The one thing I think that possibly could have changed things is knowing the facts and having the correct info ahead of time…both of which are not located easily. But with them maybe I can make sure others don’t get it or see the early signs and have a better shot at recovery. So here are some is some of the most important info I can put in your hands. This comes from the LymeLight Foundation website, a reputable source in the Lyme world.

Prepare before going into nature

• Wear light-colored clothing: long pants and a long-sleeved shirt. Tuck your pant legs into socks. Wear a hat.

• Always apply tick repellent. Lemon eucalyptus and rose geranium oils repel ticks. There are several all-natural sprays available. Products with DEET are also effective.

• Products containing Permethrin may be used on clothing, gear, and your property.

• Stay in the middle of the trail and away from foliage.

• Don’t sit on logs, lean against trees, or walk through tall grass.

After Being in Nature

• Perform tick checks (yourself, children & pets).

• Focus on hard-to-reach areas (scalp, folds & creases).

• If bitten, remove the tick

using a tick key or tweezers. If you do not have tweezers, use protective gloves (or a bag). Pull straight up and away from the skin. Do not twist.

IMPORTANT! Save the tick in a plastic bag & contact IGeneX or Tick Report for tick testing.

Found a Tick? After the Bite Watch for Lyme disease symptoms: Flu-like ailments or chills, lack of energy, or extreme fatigue.

A circular bull’s-eye rash or a small bump or redness at the tick bite may develop. If the tick tests positive or you suspect Lyme disease, contact a doctor familiar with Lyme; preferably a LLMD (Lyme Literate Medical Doctor). Consult the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ilads.org) for a physician referral, if needed.

Stay Vigilant. With an early Lyme infection, antibodies may not have had time to develop in your body. Therefore, a blood test at this time may appear negative. You may have Lyme disease even with a negative test result. Monitor your symptoms, learn about Lyme disease, and trust your body.

Lastly some extra advice from myself and others in the Lyme world, please realize the Western Blot Lyme test that is most commonly run for Lyme is the least accurate and consistently produces false negatives so please do not rely solely on it. Some reputable Lyme disease labs are IgenX, Armin Labs, Vibrant Labs, and DNA Connections.

I can’t change the fact that Lyme disease is real. And I can’t even change the fact that some of you will get it. What I hope I can do is share awareness of this disease so you can recognize it as early as possible. Most of us are in this situation because we didn’t catch the infection until years later. If you catch it early you have a significantly better chance of living your life without Lyme impacting it.

I don’t know how my story will turn out and that’s the honest truth. Most of us “lymies” don’t. I know I will keep fighting though and trying to find a path to a better future. I can’t change the fact that I got Lyme. But for now, I find that continuing to write is how I try to keep those ideas of hope near me. There’s this quote that says:

“A writer is a writer because, even when there is no hope, even when nothing you do shows any sign of promise, you keep writing anyway.”

- Junot Diaz, Professor of Writing, Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, 2008

May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month and I truly hope by sharing my story someone else’s life changes for the better. I want to dedicate this article to all the Lyme warriors who have lost their lives to this disease and to all the warriors suffering and struggling but still fighting every day.

Wyden

I urge each of you to weigh in before any substantial development decisions are made by voicing your views to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management on proposed leases by deadlines rapidly approaching. Wyden admonished federal officials “to do better” when it comes to acting on Oregonians’ concerns on considering alternate sites for wind energy options. CEO / General Manager of Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative Brent Bischoff shared his energy concerns when he addressed the Senator, “Blackouts are inevitable if government does not relax onerous carbon footprint regulations.” The Senator asked

Bischoff for his common sense recommendations. Bischoff responded, “America has extensive Natural Gas reserves and Nuclear Power small generators are common sense alternatives.”

The Coos-Curry Electric CEO encouraged Sen. Wyden to explore natural gas and nuclear options, expediently. Wyden tipped his hat and commended CoosCurry Electric for its excellent operations.

When asked about the not-sosecure Border, Wyden said he’s voted twice this year to support the Senate’s consideration of immigration and border policy reform, but blamed Republicans for blocking that important debate twice, after what Wyden said was an agreed upon bipartisan border deal. Wyden touted his support of more than $166 billion to invest in more officers, better technology and equipment and physical barriers.

Wyden announced along with Washington Representative Kim Schrier (D-Washington) reintroducing the bi-partisan National Prescribed Fire Act of

2024. 2022 legislation was critical in supporting pre-fire season prescribed burns as an essential science-based strategy to save lives and property. The Act for 2024 would invest in hazardous fuels management to reduce the risk of blistering infernos by increasing the pace and scale of prescribed burns, during cooler, wetter months.

Senator Alex Padilla (D-California) and Representative David Valadao (R-California) joined Wyden in introducing the legislation, May 23.

A subject not broached upon was the growing movement by 13 disgruntled counties in the Beaver state and seeking to join the Gem state, neighboring Idaho, as part of a Greater Idaho movement. Those counties hold more than 50 percent of the landmass but just nine per cent of the State’s population. Wyden was circumspect in expressing his opposition to losing a huge swath of Oregon.

“I want to hear from all parts of Oregon and unite us as a state; that’s why I visit every country in Oregon. Wyden wrote the Secure

Storage unit business expansion calls Urban Renewal Plan into question

BY NATE SCHWARTZ

In the most recent Brookings City Council meeting the main topic of discussion was the City of Brookings Urban Renewal Plan. The master plan was intended to identify areas of blight and present a unified idea of what downtown should look like.

Bruce Nishioka, a local attorney, presented a PowerPoint to the council to ask one major question:

“What good is a plan if we don’t follow it?” asked Nishioka.

The presentation, titled ‘Objection to Industrial Storage Units – Constructed in Revitalized Downtown’, brought attention to the shortcomings of the plan as it applies to a recent application for a conditional use permit. The permit would allow for an outside storage unit facility on Hemlock Street to expand to further nearby parcels, combining into one property.

Nishioka begins by pointing out the good the plan has done. A member of the Planning Commission during the plan’s inception, Nishioka was quick to point out that the establishment of the Urban Renewal Area was necessary.

It has allowed the funneling of tax money to urban renewal for projects that have done a lot of good for the area. One example Nishioka referenced was the installation of sidewalks on Hemlock, which he can say with authority has helped,

as his business is also on that street.

After sharing some renderings for projects that were never completed, Nishioka points out some of the issues that have come up recently with the Plan, the main issue being with the storage unit facility’s ‘compatibility’ with the surrounding businesses, and the downtown area in general.

The Planning Commission approved the conditional use permits needed for the project on April 2nd, 2024. This was despite Nishioka and others presenting evidence against the granting of the permit. Nishioka appealed the Planning Commission’s decision, bringing it to the City Council.

Nishioka pointed out a pair of clauses from the

original Urban Renewal Plan that states the necessary burden of proof for a conditional use permit:

“In any land use decision, the burden of producing substantial evidence to demonstrate compliance with the applicable criteria is upon the applicant. If adequate evidence is not provided, the applicant must be denied.”

As well as, “The proposed use will have minimal adverse impact upon adjoining properties.”

The argument from Nishioka and multiple other business owners and interested parties is that adequate evidence of the storage units ‘fitting in’ with the other businesses in the area was not provided, and that the expansion of the storage facility would set

back the recent growth on Hemlock.

“Conditional use permits are not a favor. The whole idea of zoning is: you have an industrial zone? That makes sense to put storage units in. A commercial zone, which this is, storage units are not accepted in [the plan]… Conditional use permits aren’t just something that are handed out. It’s up to you, the City, to say ‘Does this fit in? Is this going to be the plan?’” said Nishioka to the Council.

The discussions that followed were of compromise. Nishioka stated that the idea would be more palatable if efforts were made to make the business more aesthetically in line with the rest of the area. Councilor Phoebe Pereda seemed to agree on two fronts: that the plan has done a lot of good but has

failed to establish proper guidelines in certain areas, and that there may be room for compromise on this issue.

“I too don’t understand why we have a plan in place, if we’re not going to work towards that plan. I can see in some ways it has, but in other ways clear guidelines have never been set,” state Councilor Pereda, “So while I don’t necessarily have any issue with it being a storage unit, if it could have a cottagey feel and some trees along the sidewalk, to make it an area that visitors and community would like to walk through and enjoy.”

Councilor Andy Martin made a statement supporting the business, citing that as a small business owner himself, he understands the immense amount of red tape

that business owners must cleave through to build a prosperous business.

Mayor Hodges agreed with that point, and restated his support for land-owner rights, but agrees that the Plan falls short in terms of providing actionable guidelines to hold businesses to.

The Planning Commission maintains that the proper burden of evidence was surpassed when the initial permit application was presented to them, and they reaffirm their decision based on a lack of conditions they could impose on the storage unit facility.

The council voted unanimously to uphold the Planning Commission’s decision, with the intention of adding agenda items to workshop an update to the Brookings Urban Renewal Plan.

Oregon’s Investment in ocean conservation celebrated

BY JEREMY C. RUARK

New efforts to increase the state’s investment in the Oregon Marine Reserves Program follow the signing ceremony for House Bill 4132, a bi-partisan bill sponsored by Oregon’s Coastal and Environmental Caucuses.

Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek and Rep. David Gomberg (D-10) hosted the ceremony at the state capital building in Salem May 30.

The Oregon Ocean Alliance celebrated this renewed commitment to ocean conservation established more than a decade ago for the wildlife and marine ecosystems off the Oregon coast.

Approximately 9% of Oregon state waters (between 0-3 miles from shore) have been designated as either marine reserves or marine protected areas within the state program as important places for whales, seals, sea lions, fish, corals, and other ocean animals.

“Our state’s marine reserves program conducts research that is vital to our understanding of changing ocean conditions and engages our coastal communities in marine stewardship,” Gomberg said. “I’m thrilled we are finally providing additional investments to strengthen the five marine reserves we established more than a decade ago. This renewed commitment is a meaningful step toward better engagement with coastal tribes and fisheries and will help us carry out ocean conservation the Oregon way.”

What the program is designed to do Oregon’s marine reserve program includes two designations: marine reserves, which prohibit all development, including a ban on

removing fish or any other living ocean animals; and marine protected areas, where most development is prohibited but some sustainable fishing activities occur.

The areas protected stretch along the Oregon coast and include Cape Falcon, Cascade Head, Otter Rock, Cape Perpetua, and Redfish Rocks. More than 30 species of marine mammals, seabirds, sea turtles, and fish populations found off the Oregon coast are listed as threatened or endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act.

“Oregon’s ocean is home to extraordinary wildlife and incredible ocean ecosystems, and it’s essential now more than ever to protect critical areas” Oceana Pacific

Legal Director and Senior Counsel Tara Brock said. “The science shows that marine reserves and protected areas are a key tool for strengthening the resilience of our oceans and the long-term health of marine life in the face of climate change, plastic pollution, and other global ocean threats. We join Governor Kotek in celebration of this important legislation to further the conservation and management of our oceans.”

“These areas represent the first long-term, nearshore ocean conservation and monitoring program executed by the state of Oregon,” said Charlie Plybon, Oregon Policy Manager for Surfrider Foundation and lead for Oregon’s Ocean Alliance on the bill. “These investments will ensure these areas are adaptable to changing ocean conditions, and that the program clearly defines goals for tribes and coastal communities and provides meaningful science for future policy needs.”

“This bill strengthens Oregon’s Marine Reserve Program and will allow us to better understand how

people use and benefit from these underwater places, engaging with local communities, and develop scientifically based goals specific to each of the marine reserves,” Bird Alliance of Oregon Assistant Director of Statewide Conservation Joe Liebezeit said.

“With the passage of HB 4132, Oregon legislators responded to the waves of support for our Marine Reserves Program – Oregon’s most successful ocean conservation program. Now, a more robust program is on the horizon which will benefit the whales, seals, and seabirds that call our ocean home.”

Environment Oregon Oceans Advocate Ian Giancarlo said.

“Our marine reserves and protected areas are a coastal treasure. These special places are a combination of underwater state parks, wildlife preserves, and living laboratories. This legislation continues Oregon’s legacy of ocean conservation and its passing makes

a strong statement that the state is willing to invest in understanding and protecting our coastal resources and communities,” Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition Annie Merrill said. House Bill 4132 increased funding for the marine reserves program to develop an adaptive

management plan focused on ecological and socioeconomic research and to expand engagement with local tribes and coastal communities. The bill passed the Oregon Senate on March 6, 2024, by a vote of 26-3, and passed the Oregon House unanimously by a vote of 55-0.

NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE TS No. CA-24984695-CL Order No.: FIN-24001479 YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 1/29/2020. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 to the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state, will be held by duly appointed trustee.

The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID

Lot 6, inclusive of the Warren L Richardson Subdivision according to the map thereof filed in the office of the County Recorder of Del Norte County California on November 19 1993 in Book 11 of Maps Page 114 & 115. 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 916939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-24-984695CL. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-9390772, or visit this internet website http://www. qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-24-984695-CL to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE

OWNER-OCCUPANT:

Any prospective owneroccupant as defined in Section 2924m of the California Civil Code who is the last and highest bidder at the trustee’s sale shall provide the required affidavit or declaration of eligibility to the auctioneer at the trustee’s sale or shall have it delivered to QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION by 5 p.m. on the next business day following the trustee’s sale at the address set forth in the below signature block. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid

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

Oregon Lottery officials issue scam alert

STAFF REPORT

Following news of the $1.3 billion Powerball win in Portland this April, Oregon Lottery officials are urging the public to beware of scams and phishing attempts associated with jackpots. Over the weekend, a text message was circulating that falsely promised the Powerball winner was donating prize money to 10 citizens chosen at random, according to Oregon Lottery officials. The text asked those receiving the message to call a phone number to claim the winnings.

“Some common warning

signs of phishing scams include receiving an unsolicited message with a sense of urgency or a request for personal information,”

Oregon Lottery Assistant Director of Security Justin Hedlund said. “We expect there may be other scams out there trying to leverage the Powerball winner’s story, and it’s a red flag if something seems too good to be true.”

Oregon Lottery will never ask you to pay a fee to access your winnings, according to Hedlund. If you believe you’re a victim of a scam, you can report it to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center: https://www.

ic3.gov/. If you received a suspicious text message, forward it to SPAM (7726) and report the phishing attempt to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.

History Since the Oregon Lottery began selling tickets on April 25, 1985, it has earned nearly $15.5 billion for economic development, public

education, outdoor school, state parks, veteran services, and watershed enhancements. For more information on the Oregon Lottery, visit www. oregonlottery.org.

“My staple is acrylic paint. Other media I have dabbled with include pencils, pastels, sidewalk chalk, clay, and natural or mixed materials.”

Maja also uses watercolor and acrylic as a medium as well as pen and ink in drawings of wildlife, whales and birds. She paints on canvas and also on driftwood pieces. Their show will be on display the month of June.

Semi Aquatic Gallery will be featuring artist Scott McDougall, a selftaught artist who has been working professionally since 1972. Growing up in Humboldt County in northern California, Scott began surfing in 1965, sparking a lifelong fascination with waves. His first commissions came in 1970, creating

hand-lettered and illustrated concert posters. His paintings, illustrations and posters will be displayed. More of McDougall’s work can be viewed at scottmcdougall. net. Live music will be performed by Luke Mathison. Appetizers and wine will be served.

The intent of the Second Saturday Art Walk is to promote the artists in the community. All events are free with no obligation to purchase merchandise.
