Brown Pelicans have been making the news following concerns from experts over an influx of birds that are showing signs of emaciation and injury. Normally migrating North this time of year from their Winter homes in Southern California and Mexico, the Brown Pelicans should be making their way to their yearly breeding grounds. Instead, researchers on the coast of Northern California and Southern Oregon have found hundreds of birds emaciated from hunger or stranded from injury. At current, experts have two prevalent theories for why this is occurring: food inaccessibility and late-Spring storms. Representatives from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife have stated that their strongest theory is a combination of the two. With many storms hitting the coast, wind speeds have been harder to manage, and waters have been choppier than usual.

Two teachers and five students saved from Rogue River

Curry County Sheriff’s Dispatch received a 911 call reporting that several juveniles were in the water possibly drowning in the Rogue River near Huntly Park, about six miles east of Gold Beach. The call came in about 3:28 p.m. on Wednesday May 22. Central Dispatch then began to dispatch Curry County Sheriff’s Deputies, Gold Beach Police Officers, Gold Beach Fire, medical personal from Cal-Or ambulance, as well as medical helicopters from Reach.

Within minutes from getting the call, Sheriff Deputies, and Gold Beach Police Officers arrived in the area of Huntly Park gravel bar along the Rouge River.

At this time there were a total of 7 individuals, (Two teachers, 5 juveniles) clinging to the rocks on the opposite side of the river from Huntly Park, or still swimming in the river. The subjects were yelling that they could not hang on to the rocks any longer.

Deputy Bryce Starbird, Officer Sarah Aryanfard, and Officer Robert Helme made the decision to attempt to swim across the river to attempt to assist the subjects.

Two of the struggling subjects got caught in the river current and were swept down river, along with one Sheriff’s Deputy, and one GBPD Officer.

At about 3:45 p.m. Sgt Jared Gray and Lieutenant David Denney arrived in the Sheriff’s patrol boat. Upon

arrival in the area out in front of Tu Tu Tun Lodge, (Approx ¾ mile downstream from Huntly Park) three subjects were seen by Sgt Gray and Lieutenant Denney in the water. Two females were observed together trying to swim on their backs, and approximately 200 yards above them was a male subject struggling to stay above water. It was clear that all three were in distress, but the male subject was observed going underwater several times. A decision was made to pass up the first two subjects and assist the unidentified male subject at that time, as it did not appear as if he would be able to stay above water any longer.

As they reached the male subject, they recognized him as a GBPD Officer, and he was pulled from under the water by Lieutenant Denney and pulled onto the swim platform of the boat. With Lieutenant Denney hanging onto the GBPD Officer, Sgt Gray then maneuvered the boat back down river and was able to secure the other two

Letter to the Editor Guest Column

VA needs to deliver on transparency policies

Roseburg VA Director Patrick Hull has promised transparency. Just one of the problems I addressed in one of my emails to Mr. Hull last week was not posting or providing the Roseburg VA's "Patients Rights and Responsibilities" to Veterans to address grievances with their health care.

I addressed this with Information

Officer Richard Weber and Veterans Experience

Officer Sarah Cranston a few years ago and was promised it would be posted. It was not.

All of the medical facilities I've been to will provide you a copy of their Patient's Rights and Responsibilities for resolving grievances. Not the Roseburg VA. I've asked.

VHA Directive 1003.04 states the VA Medical Facility Director is responsible for: "(4) Ensuring that Patient Rights are posted in every VA medical facility and CBOC near entrances and in high-traffic areas where appropriate.”

VHA Directive 1041 (clinical appeals) States: The VA medical facility Director is responsible for: (1) Ensuring the clinical appeals process established by this directive is implemented at the VA medical facility level.

(2) Ensuring that patients are informed of their right to dispute a medical determination and the process involved in appealing that decision.

What is posted in Roseburg and in the Brookings Clinic is: "Rights and Responsibilities of Family Members of VA Patients and Residents of Community Living Centers."

There is no mention of the Clinical Appeals Process or other avenues to address quality of care issues many Veterans have, especially in Brookings.

So about that transparency Director Hull, please provide me a copy of the Roseburg VA's Patient Rights and Responsibilities I requested in my email.

Many of the same problems for Veterans that existed with the last three director still exist today. I will continue with these letters and emails and am well versed on VHA Directives.

Oregon is facing largest energy development threat in generations

BY MAX WILBERT

Oregon is facing its largest energy development project in generations: more than 1,800 square miles of offshore wind turbines proposed for the central and southern Oregon coast. That’s an area 6 times the size of Crater Lake National Park.

According to a 2022 paper in the journal Ocean Sustainability, “offshore wind may lead to significant environmental impacts.”

That’s not a surprise when you consider what’s involved: hundreds of steel turbines, each as tall as the Empire State Building, floating on platforms the size of baseball stadiums anchored to the sea floor with miles of steel cables.

Wind-driven upwelling of nutrients from the deep ocean feeds one of the world’s richest ecosystems along our coast. Wind turbines could even modify this. Researchers found that turbines could shift upwelling “outside the bounds of natural variability,” and say “the conse-

BROWN PELICANS AT SEA DIVING PELICANS

DIVING PELICANS

This has led biologists to believe that the pelicans simply cannot reach the fish below-surface that they normally would rely on. Rescuers with the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Center at the SPCA in Monterey Bay have observed that birds are arriving at half their normal weight. Most of the rescue calls they have received have been on piers and public docks.

This is a bad sign, as pelicans should be naturally wary of humans and normally seek their meals at sea. Instead, many pelicans are targeting marinas and docks as easy sources of food, with fishing vessels often unloading their hauls.

Experts say that a sure sign of a pelican potentially in need of rescue is their willingness to let you approach. If there is a pelican near you, and it is not wary of your presence, odds are there’s something wrong and a local wildlife center should be contacted.

Jason Badger, an Assistant District Wildlife Biologist with the ODFW, has observed similarly concerning signs along the South Coast, attributing most of what he’s seen to storms as well.

“One thing that stands out, locally at least, is the number of ‘stranded’ pelicans we’re seeing and receiving reports of this spring. The majority of these appear to be juvenile birds and I suspect it has a lot to do with the high wind events we’re experiencing along the coast,” stated Badger.

These late storms cause more harm than just reducing the pelicans’ access to food. High winds, especially when blowing counter to the migration routes they are follow-

Since1996, the Viet Nam Veterans Association, Chapter 757 of Brookings conducts a somber reading of every Oregononian who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Viet Nam / Cambodian War, during the 60s and 70s.

This year’s reading took place this past Friday, May 24 at 6pm in front of the flagpole at City Hall.

Chapter president John Banuat told The Pilot the list totaled 652 names including those Missing in

Action. Chapter Vice president Howard Floor said, the first several names were read aloud were Brookings, Curry County young men. Banuat commenced the ceremony with the Viet Nam Honor Rifle Guard conducting a three volley salute, and conducting the Pledge of Allegiance by telling those attending the ceremony, “these brave soldiers never had a chance to experience life, have careers, marry and have families, children and grandchildren before they were taken so early in their lives’ journey. Then he read the five local young men from Brookings / Harbor who were killed:

ing, can cause the pelicans enormous difficulty with flying. The younger a pelican is, the less likely they’ll be able to fight against the wind current.

“These birds are migrating into the predominant northwest wind, and it appears some of the juveniles are becoming fatigued. I even responded to a call of a pelican that appeared injured, but it turns out its wings were twisted around each other twice, like a garbage bag tie,” observed Badger.

While Badger was able to help that troubled pelican, who quickly recovered, the Brown Pelican in general, which saw a miraculous resurgence in numbers in the later half of the 20th century, are once again an Oregon Conservation Strategy Species. In the past, their population was affected by a toxic chemical that had entered coastal waters, causing their eggs to be too fragile for incubation. Since the banning of that chemical (DDT), the pelicans’ recovery was positive, even to the point of falling off the endangered species list in 2009.

PELICANS AT SEA

Since then, abnormal weather events in the Brown Pelicans’ breeding grounds have caused another huge decline in population. In the current climate, Brown Pelicans are back on Oregon’s list of endangered species.

Anyone who spots a pelican that seems distressed, malnourished, or injured should contact their local wildlife authority as soon as possible. These majestic birds are emblematic of the natural wonder of the South Coast and should be protected in this difficult period for the species.

Firewood cutting areas begin to reopen in some locations on the Gasquet Ranger District

Merkley Announces June Town Halls

Washington, D.C. –

Oregon’s U.S. Senator

Jeff Merkley announced today he will be holding six in-person town halls for Oregon communities in June: Coos and Curry counties on Friday, June 7; Klamath and Lake counties on Saturday, June 8; and Crook and Wheeler counties on Sunday, June 9. The events continue Merkley’s 2024 town hall tour of Oregon, where he is holding a community conversation for each of the state’s 36 counties.

“I hold a town hall for

every Oregon county every year because there is simply no substitute to hearing directly from folks about the ideas and priorities that matter most to them and their communities.

Oregonians’ thoughts help shape my work in Congress, including positions on policies, ideas for bills, and strategies for securing resources for every corner of our state,” Merkley said.

“Over the course of the more than 560 town halls I’ve held since Oregonians sent me to the Senate, I’ve seen how these events

provide respectful, safe spaces for people to express their unique points of view during these often-divisive times. We all benefit significantly when we leave our comfort zone and open ourselves up to new ways of looking at issues—me included.

“I am thrilled to be hitting the road again to meet with Oregonians from all walks of life in their communities.”

Since taking office in 2009, Senator Merkley has kept his promise to hold an open town hall for each

of Oregon’s 36 counties every year. His upcoming town hall conversations are as follows, with additional details to be sent to local media ahead of each event:

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 sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. BENEFICIARY MAY ELECT TO BID

LESS THAN THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE. Trustor(s): Milton Reilley and Donna M Reilley, husband and wife as joint tenants Recorded: 2/7/2020 as Instrument No. 20200529 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of DEL NORTE County, California; Date of Sale: 6/26/2024 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the stairs of the Southwest Entrance of the Flynn County Administration Building located at 981 H St, Crescent City, CA 95531 Amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $212,321.55

The purported property address is: 110 DREAM ST, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 Assessor’s Parcel No.: 120-241-0

06 Legal Description: Please be advised that the legal description set forth on the Deed of Trust is in error. The legal description of the property secured by the Deed of Trust is more properly set forth and made part of Exhibit “A” as attached hereto. 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.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: Vickey Jan Stamps Case Number: PB247033

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Vickey Jan Stamps

A Petition for Probate has been filed by: Kari L. Burford, in the Superior Court of California, County of: Del Norte. The petition for probate requests that: Kari L. Burford 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: June 14, 2024 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.

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 916-939-0772 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-23959804-CL. 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-23-959804-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.

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.

Once on shore the two were pulled out onto the riverbank in front of Tu Tu Tun Lodge, and another responding Deputy took over care of these two subjects. The GBPD offi cer was then pulled all the way into the boat.

As this was happening a private guided fishing boat, operated by Sam Waller arrived in the area. Waller observed Sgt Gray and Lieutenant Denney

At this time deputies then obtained a head count and confirmed that all juveniles, teachers, and responding officers were accounted for.

One female juvenile was then transported by REACH helicopter to Three Rivers Hospital in Grants Pass. One GBPD officer, the other four juveniles, and two teachers were then transported to Curry General Hospital for treatment. All subjects were treated for different stages of hypothermia. One GBPD officer is still in the hospital being treated for complications related to the incident, all others were treated and eventually released.

The Juveniles and teachers were on a 7th -8th grade trip from Surprise Valley School in California. They were told that

Huntly Park was a good place to swim, and that’s why they were in that area. The Rogue River is still flowing very high and is still very cold. The temperature of the water varies from the 50 to low 60-degree temperatures. People do not realize that at these temperatures it only takes a very short time for hypothermia to set in. This was a very coordinated and amazing effort by numerous different agencies, all working together. Because of this coordinated effort the 10 subjects that were in the water during the incident are predicted to make a full recovery.
