Car shows provide economic shot-in-the arm
BY ROGER GITLIN Country Media, Inc.
Attending a week-end car show is much more than observing a beautiful paint job on a classic hot rod or antique vehicle.
Across coastal Northern California and Oregon, as many as 300 vehicles strut their stuff on any given summertime weekend. Most of the Benefit Shows in our geography are celebrating 30 years or more anniversaries.
Area car Shows provide a ven-
ue for like-minded folks to gather and admire beautiful vehicular art and also provide much needed charity to communities in which they serve. No politics, no arguments, just a mutual love for a relic of machinery which hearken all of us back to halcyon days when life was a bit less complicated. Car Shows are great for the local economy. Most car Shows are Benefit events. Funds are col-
Marine Board holds advanced on-water jet boat training
The Oregon State Marine Board will conduct its week-long jet boat training on the Rogue River during the week of July 15 – July 19. This intensive course focuses on boat operation, marine law, swift water rescue, and boat trailering. Students who attend the Marine Board’s Whitewater Jet Boat Training bring a range of skills from the novice operator to advanced operator.
“We’re aiming to have a minimal impact on other waterway users by operating in different stretches each day,” says Eddie Persichetti, Marine Law Enforcement Training Coordinator for the Marine Board. “There can be a dozen or more boats with students learning and practicing and we want to other folks out on the water to feel comfortable knowing their activities won’t be interrupted by training operations.”
In addition to boat handling exercises in whitewater conditions, students will also learn how to disassemble, service and reassemble jet pumps, learn how to read the river to identify safe passages, and learn anchoring and chocking techniques. “This kind of training is so important because fast action and skill can mean the difference between a saved life -or not,” Persichetti says. Training will occur in the
following river stretches:
• Monday, July 15: Gold Beach to Lobster Creek
• Tuesday, July 16: Gold Beach to Colemans Corner
• Wednesday, July 17: Gold Beach to Agness
• Thursday and Friday, July 1819: Gold Beach to Agness
The Marine Board contracts with 31 Sheriff’s Offices and the Oregon State Police for marine law enforcement services, including search and rescue operations, and boating safety education. Contracts
with the County Sheriff’s Offices are paid for through motorboat registrations and titling fees. For more information about the Marine Board and law enforcement services, visit http://www.oregon.gov/OSMB/ BoatLaws/pages/index.aspx.
Local angler bags massive Chinook Salmon
BY NATE SCHWARTZ Curry Coastal Pilot
A local fisherman landed a huge Chinook Salmon in Brookings over the weekend. Johnny and Maddie Puget were trolling at around 30 ft down, just north of the port of Brookings-Harbor, when this 27-pounder snagged their hook.
Also known as King Salmon, Chinook are in season during the summer, and are on average larger than the other local salmonid, the Coho Salmon. Hence the name, the minimum length requirements for Chinook Salmon are 8 inches longer than those of Coho Salmon. This trophy passed that metric with flying colors at nearly four feet of fish.
Chinook Salmon season runs through August 31st from the California border to Mount Humbug. Coho season runs through August 4th, but all bagged Coho must have a healed adipose fin clip. Fin clipping indicates to anglers that the caught fish is from a local hatchery, and is therefore not going to negatively affect the local population.
Both commercial and recreational fishing are incredibly important to the South Coast’s way of life. Get out there and enjoy a favorite local activity, and be sure to follow all Oregon fishing guidelines.

Curry commissioners take firm stance on wind energy leases
BY NATE SCHWARTZ Curry Coastal Pilot
The Curry County Board of Commissioners held a lengthy discussion over BOEM and the wind energy area leasing schedule that has brought a lot of concern to coastal communities in Southern Oregon.
The commissioners placed emphasis on the lack of support locally and emphasized the importance of the leases themselves.
Commissioner Jay Trost expressed that he thinks that is a point of no return.
“The problem is, as soon as those call areas are leased, its game over for access. Once those call areas are leased, on let’s say a 25-year basis, if there’s a change in administration they may sit on them, because they’ll have them locked up for a certain amount of time… If it’s a 50-year lease, you literally could put a buoy out there that says ‘environmental impact study’, lock up that area. And we may not be looking at windmills, but we don’t have access to our fishing area, or our recreational area,” said Trost on the subject.
Public comment for the evening was dedicated entirely to the concern over the leasing effort.
The first public commenter, Lynn Coker, a local real estate broker, went to the lengths of vetting each of the

Who runs the country?
BY TOM KNAPP Director, The William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism
I’ve been hearing variants of that question a lot over the last few weeks, mainly in forms like “given Joe Biden’s age and apparent mental decline, can we trust him to run the country for another four years?”
For the last eight or nine years, I’ve also heard it a lot, in slightly different forms, about Donald Trump.
I visited Google Trends to find out if I’m just imagining increased frequency of that annoying question. Turns out my perception is correct: After a brief spike in 2004, the phrase “who runs the country” took a long vacation, only beginning to rise to prominence again a decade or so ago, and recently peaking at its highest point since 2015. It’s a dumb question ... and a pet peeve of mine.
Donald Trump did not “run the country” from 2017 to 2021.
Nor has Joe Biden “run the country” since then.
Whoever wins this November’s presidential election will not “run the country” starting next
January 20.
What are you doing today?
Whatever that might be, did you ask Joe Biden for permission to do it? Next January, will you start running your daily calendar by Joe Biden or Donald Trump for approval?
Almost certainly not.
The president is just one of more than 330 million Americans. He (or, someday, she) may be more powerful than most of us, but not so much more powerful that he “runs the country” in any meaningful sense.
At MOST, the president “runs” one of three branches of the federal government ... and the federal government is not “the country.”
Economics isn’t everything, but it’s a useful thing. US
Gross Domestic Product (the value of all goods and services produced) in 2023 topped $27 trillion, of which the federal government spent $6.13 trillion. That’s a lot. It’s WAY too much. But it’s hardly “running the country.”
That $6.13 trillion was appropriated by Congress, not the president.
His only power over that is to sign or veto the appropriations bills (in the
latter case, Congress can override him), then spend the money as Congress directs.
Increasingly “imperial”
presidents since World War 2 have tried to get around such strictures with “executive orders.” Sometimes that works. Other times Congress or the courts say “nope.”
Outside the purely economic arena, the president gets to negotiate treaties (but the Senate must approve them) and act as commander in chief of the armed forces when they are “called into the service of the United States,” which should only happen when Congress has declared war (it hasn’t done so in 80 years).
The president doesn’t “run the country.” He only “runs the government” to a limited extent, if Congress and the courts allow it (they allow it far too much).
The country is “run” by those of us who produce that $27 trillion in goods and services every year ... or don’t .. and who go about our business with or without a president’s permission.
We should stop fantasizing so much power into the hands of politicians. They’re just wasteful parasites. We’re the productive hosts.
An open letter from Sheriff John Ward
I have been tormented by having to send this information out to our citizens, but it is information that must be given, and I have always been transparent and honest with our citizens. I have been with the Curry County Sheriff’s Office for almost 33 years now and your Sheriff since October 2014. It is no secret that Curry County is facing financial problems and just prior to this last budget cycle, the Commissioners gave our citizens a choice to vote for a levy to fund the Sheriff’s Office. The levy failed and during the ensuing budget cycle, the Commissioners made the choice to cut what funding we had here at the Sheriff’s Office, cutting nineteen deputy positions along with material and services. We had presented several budgets at their request and each time we were told that we had to cut more. By the time the budget was approved and adopted, we lost two positions in 911/Dispatch, two positions in Corrections and fifteen positions in Criminal/Civil/ Patrol. Throughout our office we had seven open positions, those were cut along with eleven filled deputy positions, which resulted in layoffs or positions being eliminated. Because of budget and position cuts, we have also lost Patrol and Corrections Deputies to other agen-
cies like Brookings PD, Josephine County, and Clackamas County. The bottom line is that we are still here but with the drastic cuts to our Patrol division, we will not be able to provide the service to our citizens that we have in the past. As of July 15th, which was the date given to us when these cuts take effect, we will be down to just three Patrol Deputies. Obviously, we must make hard decisions and will only be able to respond when available to person-to-person priority calls in progress. Most all other calls will be handled through a Self-Report Form that will be available online or in our lobby. There are a lot of changes that we are forced to make, to provide what service, we can. I did not and do not support the cuts, but we must deal with the reality of the cuts and loss of resources. As your Sheriff, I share your concerns about the increase in criminal activity as well as the current wildfire season. I also want all of you to know that our hearts are broken from the dismantling of our Patrol division and the loss of good men and women who dedicated their lives to protect and serve our citizens every day.

Oregon ranks last in use of anti-poverty tax credit
BY JUAN CARLOS
ORDÓÑEZ
Guest article
Oregon had the nation’s lowest rate of families qualifying for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) who actually claimed it, according to A report by the Oregon Center for Public Policy (OCPP) analyzing the most recently available data. About 93,000 of the Oregon families eligible for the federal EITC did not claim it in 2020, the report said. Oregon’s EITC participation rate of 67.9 percent trailed the national average of 76.3 percent and was the lowest of all states and the District of Columbia.
This result continued Oregon’s poor showing in the use of a tax credit meant to address poverty.
“Working families struggling to get by need all the help they can get to pay the bills,” said Daniel Hauser, OCPP’s Deputy Director. “Yet tens of thousands of low-income working families — most of them raising children — are missing out on thousands of dollars each year. Lawmakers must make tax filing easier and remove any obstacles that prevent families from using this otherwise excellent tax credit.”
The EITC is a federal tax credit designed to boost the income of workers who are paid low
wages. Oregon’s version of the credit adds a nine to 12 percent match on top of the federal EITC. In 2020, the federal credit averaged nearly $2,000 for Oregon families that received the credit. For families with children, the figure was nearly $3,000.
But to benefit from the EITC, an eligible household must file tax returns claiming the tax credit. Added together, the Oregon families not claiming the federal EITC missed out on about $96 million, according to OCPP.
“When the EITC goes unused, families lose out on the benefits of a policy proven to improve well-being,” the report
said. Those benefits include improved health, educational outcomes, and increased earnings as adults for the children of families receiving the tax credit.
“The complexity involved in filing taxes is the main barrier to eligible households claiming the EITC,” the report said. “That complexity leads people to not want to deal with the hassles of filing taxes, creates confusion as to eligibility for the credit, imposes transaction costs, and creates fear of errors in claiming the credit and potential penalties resulting from those errors.”
To increase participation in the EITC, the report
recommended that lawmakers at both the federal and state levels take action to make tax filing simple and free.
One step to simplify the process is to create a way for tax filers to file taxes directly with the Internal Revenue Service and the Oregon Department of Revenue, a process that is already underway, according to the report.
The next step, the authors said, is to integrate the federal and state Direct File programs, so that tax filers need only fill out most information once to receive state and federal tax credits.
Other ways of simplifying the tax filing process highlighted in the report are for the tax agencies to provide filers with pre-filled tax returns, which would remove all or nearly all of the work involved in filing taxes; create a very simple tax filing tool for people who are not required to file taxes but who qualify for the EITC; and provide more resources for tax preparation assistance programs.
“The EITC is a very effective strategy for improving the economic security of working families, but for it to work, people need to claim the tax credit,” Hauser said. “That’s why we need to eliminate the barriers to filing taxes and make tax filing simple and free.”
Oregon Coast Visitors Association funds sustainable storytelling
By JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.
The Oregon Coast Visitors Association
(OCVA)’s annual Strategic Investment Fund (SIF) is an annual program supporting Oregon coastal tourism partners.
“The effort is to help the long-term resiliency of tourism on the coast by responding to destination development or management projects in critical moments of need,” Oregon Coast Visitors Association Industry Communications Coordinator Lynnee Jacks said. The 2023 funds are focused on Sustainable Storytelling on the Oregon Coast. According to a 2022 report by Expedia Travel Group, 90 percent of consumers look for sustainable options when traveling.
“We wanted to help those consumers find coastal businesses prioritizing sustainability – and a great way to do that is by developing marketing content,” Jacks said.
“With the announcement of OCVA’s 2024 Strategic Investment Fund, we’re wrapping up the year 2023 and introducing you to the exciting work our applicants
have taken on this year. “ Organizations all along the coast, businesses and Tribes, were invited to apply, and a total of six recipients took on projects with the funding, according to Jacks.
Overleaf Lodge and Spa and Fireside Motel
The family-run Overleaf Lodge and Spa and Fireside Motel in Yachats is a premiere destination on the Central Oregon Coast. They received funding to create short videos, blogs, and social media posts about their sustainability initiatives, including the electric vehicle charging stations, local environmental restoration efforts through guest donations, and contributions to Cape Perpetua Collaborative.
The Collaborative is a partnership dedicated to fostering conservation within the Yachats coastal environment, and View the Future, a Yachats-based nonprofit that’s responsible for stewarding and conserving land and wildlife habitats in the Yachats area.
South Coast Tours
South Coast Tours, a tour operator in Port Orford, received funding to tell the story of how their sustainable work on the
Oregon Coast generates funds for organizations like the Elakha Alliance and the Oregon Kelp Alliance.
The Elakha Alliance is a non-profit working to bring back the Sea Otters to the Oregon coast. The Oregon Kelp Alliance is a non-profit working to restore Oregon’s Kelp Ecosystems and South Coast Tours is a founding partner conducting dive trips for the organization to do habitat surveys, training of new research divers, and urchin culling.
“Funds went towards the creation of photo assets, including paddling, wildlife viewing and diving boat tours, that will help tell the story over a series of social media posts that highlight this work.
Shifting Tide,” Jacks said.
Shifting Tides
Shifting Tides is an organization run by Alanna Kieffer which offers educational workshops that connect people to nature, to intertidal food systems, and to edible wild foods. In line with work around the sustainability of our local food systems, Shifting Tides received funding to create videos and social media promos highlighting the programs.
“The videos highlight the abundance and
diversity of life along the Oregon Coast and the opportunities for firsthand exploration and education in the field, as well as the specific workshops that are available, like sustainable clamming and mussel foraging,” Jacks said.
WildSpring Guest Habitat
WildSpring Guest Habitat is a small eco-friendly resort in Port Orford. Everything they do has been designed to have a minimum impact on the environment.
“All their choices were made with three questions in mind: Will it be beautiful in a natural way? Will it help protect the environment? Will it make guests feel cared for?” Jacks said.
The WildSpring Guest Habitat received funding to take photos and videos, and share out a blog story highlighting their sustainability initiatives. These include EV charging stations free to guests, development and operations focused on sustainable practices, carbon neutral operations, sustainable building practices, and water and energy-saving practices.
Itty Bitty Inn
The Itty Bitty Inn in North Bend received funding to tell a sustainable stories about the two EV chargers that were installed in 2017, and were the first Tesla Destination Charging Network stations listed in the North Bend/Coos Bay are).
“A series of promotional videos and a long-form documentary will tell the story of North Bend and Coos Bay as a sustainable destination – highlighting integrations of economic and ecological sustainability practices like North Bend’s 2023 Solar & Electric Vehicle Fest,” Jacks said.
The 2023 event included a circuit of food and snack carts, rock bands,
Celtic and folk musicians, solar installers, electric/ hybrid vehicle dealerships and manufacturers, and community non-profit groups.
“This was an incredible opportunity to celebrate sustainable travel, and highlight the employment boom underway for electricians, solar installers, and hospitality specialists who are needed in the blossoming EV infrastructure industry,” Jacks said.
Local Ocean Local Ocean in Newport is a sustainable seafood restaurant that sources directly from local Oregon fishers.
“They received funding to tell a multimedia story about our local food systems, and to educate about how visitors can make sustainable climatefriendly food choices,” Jacks said.
The final series of videos and photos will cover a range of topics, including growing/harvesting food, food transportation and the carbon savings of eating locally harvested foods, food packaging, processing, and waste.
“These projects are ongoing, and the OCVA officials said they look forward to seeing the impact all their marketing materials make on the future of sustainable tourism on the Oregon Coast.” Jacks said.
2024 Strategic Investment Fund to Support Accessibility on the Oregon Coast In order to increase accessibility on the Oregon Coast, OCVA has designated this year’s annual Strategic Investment Fund to support Mobi-mat program implementations.

ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE. “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 on 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 the outstanding lien that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER:
The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 844-477-7869, or visit this internet Web site www.stoxposting. com, using the file number assigned to this case T.S.# 87174. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.” For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 477-7869, or visit this internet website www. STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 87174 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 by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code; 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.

over 200,000 acres of our shoreline,” advised Coker. Another public comment gave an idea of who those companies are, and the kind of tactics they can expect them to use.
Patrick Hollinger, a Brookings-Harbor Port Commissioner detailed a story about a corporation that contacted him through a local attorney. They invited him, along with government officials and other groups with an interest in the lease areas, on a trip to Scotland, reportedly to see the windmill infrastructure there.
Offering international trips to local decisionmakers is an example of a tried-and-true lobbying tactic of deep-pocketed corporations. Greasing palms and lining pockets, whether through ‘business trips’, ‘gifts’, or other means, is just one way to get powerful people on their side.
The current issue at hand is the leasing schedule, BOEM has stated they want the land leased by October, 2024. Once the land is paid and spoken for, legal challenges against the development will become much harder.
The other issue with the leasing schedule, as the Commission sees it, is the long period of ambiguity that will follow. According to BOEM’s schedule, companies are encouraged to take a 3-5 year period for environmental assessment before actual infrastructure can be proposed.
That could mean a 3–5year stall on development for the coast as, for instance, the proposed container port expansion in Coos Bay would be undoubtedly affected by the new wind energy leases.
“We have hundreds and thousands fishermen and companies trying to run businesses off our shore, and this entire 130 miles of shoreline, for a period of 5 years, can be clouded in a thick fog of ambiguity as to what is going to happen there,” said Coker.
“If you think as a Port Authority member or as a local business person on the coast, that I’ll be able to invite somebody to invest in my undertaking to make this coast the best that it can be, with this cloud of ambiguity over the business environment, you’re wrong. Lenders

hate ambiguity, and they will walk away until the cloud lifts. And they may or may not come back.”
The Commission agreed with Coker on these points and seems to have taken a unified stance against the leases as planned. The best course of action, as determined by the Commission, is to draft a ballot item for the community. This would allow the voters of Curry County to unequivocally have their voices heard in an official capacity. Watch this space for more news on the County’s fight against the BOEM Wind Energy plan.
Hot weather tips to keep pets safe this summer
Keep your pet safe & comfortable during the warm weather
With the temperatures rising, Greenhill Humane Society wants to remind pet owners of the importance of keeping their pets safe this summer. When it comes to furry family members please remember:
• Leave pets at home when running errands. Leaving your animal in a parked car, even for just a few minutes, can easily cause heat stroke or brain damage. A car’s interior temperature can increase in minutes, even with the windows slightly open. Dogs are especially vulnerable to heat stress because they do not sweat in the way that humans do; they release body heat by panting.
• Keep pets inside during the heat of the day; do not leave them outside unattended.
• Make sure pets have access to water bowls full of cool, fresh water.
• When pets are outside, be sure there are shaded areas for them to rest in. It’s a good idea to invest in a misting hose or

• Limit or skip on exercise at the dog park during the heat of the day.
• Always test the pavement or sand with your hand before stepping out (too hot to touch is too hot for your pet). Walk early in the morning or late at night when it’s cooler, carry water and take frequent breaks in shady spots. If you suspect your pet’s paws have been burned, contact your veterinarian immediately.
• Dogs should not ride in uncovered pickup truck beds. The hot metal truck bed can burn your pet’s paw pads.
• Oregon’s “Good Samaritan” law (dogs / kids in hot cars) states the following:
○ Anyone – not just law enforcement – may enter a motor vehicle, “by force or otherwise,” to remove an unattended child or domestic animal without fear of criminal or civil liability, as long as certain

requirements are met. To fulfill these requirements, a person must:
○ Determine that the motor vehicle is locked or there is no reasonable method for the child or animal to exit without assistance;
○ Have a reasonable belief that the animal or child is in imminent danger of suffering harm;
○ Notify law enforcement or emergency services either before or soon after entering the vehicle;
○ Use only the minimum force necessary to enter the vehicle; and
○ Stay with the animal or child until law enforcement, emergency services, or the owner or operator of the vehicle arrives.
◊ It is best to always contact law enforcement before taking action.
◊ Many electric vehicles now have “dog modes” or may appear to be not running. These vehicles may seem to be off but can have a cli-
mate controlled inside with air conditioning on for the animal.
Heatstroke symptoms can include restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite, dark tongue, vomiting and lack of coordination. If your animal is overcome by heat exhaustion, consult your veterinarian right away.
“With warmer weather on the
horizon it’s important to keep your pets happy,” said Sarah Bouzad, Greenhill’s Community Engagement & Events Manager. “Your pet can still join in on your summer plans, just with their safety in mind. Be sure to take your pets on walks early in the morning and in the evening and leave them home while you run errands.”

Mary M. Brewer (Minty) was born in Rapid City, South Dakota to Dr. Earl W. Minty and A. Jean Minty. She passed away peacefully in the early morning hours, under the care of hospice at Seaview Assisted Living Facility at Bright Creek Memory Care, in Brookings, Oregon. Mary was a sibling to Kris Stromert, Fred Minty (Melanie), Walter Minty (Shirley), Charlotte Hill (Don), and Paul Minty (Louise). She was an aunt to many nieces and nephews.
Mary’s family moved to Gold Beach in the mid 1950’s where her father was a practicing physician. She attended school at the local high school, and subsequently attended the University of Oregon for a brief time. She met and married local
native Don Brewer, and they made their home in the small logging/mill-thriving (at the time) town of Gold Beach. They raised three children, Donald Brewer, Brenda Starbird (Kevin), and Scott Brewer (Sheri). She had two Grandsons, Bryce Starbird (Reannon & Kayla) and Kyle Starbird (Jody), and five great grandchildren, Aiden, Payson, Macy, Kennadee and Emma. Don and Mary were married 61 years prior to his passing in 2020. She was predeceased by her husband Don, Son Donald, Father Earl, Mother Jean, and Brother Paul.
Mary spent her working years primarily in administrative positions, notably Gold Beach Union High School and the Curry County Mental Health Agency. She was
also the Bookkeeper/Admin for their family construction business for numerous years.
Mary loved the Rogue River. She made multiple treks on the upper and lower Rogue trails, as well as participated in many rafting trips in the upper Rogue Wild & Scenic River section. She also enjoyed fishing for Spring Salmon. She loved the tranquility and peace found in nature. She loved to travel and for a few years considered herself a “snowbird” in Arizona where they owned a park model. Locally, if you were looking for Mary, but couldn’t find her.... check the golf course! She could golf alone and be happy or spend time golfing with her special friends.

Pacific Northwest rocky shores show low resilience to changes in climate
BY STEVE LUNDEBERG
Guest Article
A 15-year period ending in 2020 that included a marine heat wave and a sea star wasting disease epidemic saw major changes in the groups of organisms that live along the rocky shores of the Pacific Northwest.
The study by Oregon State University scientists, involving four capes in Oregon and California, suggests these communities of species may have low resilience to climate change. Findings were published Monday in Nature Ecology & Evolution and.
Researchers learned that sessile invertebrates – those that stay in one place, such as mussels and barnacles – became more abundant during the study period, while seaweed species like kelps declined.
“These changes occurred after the loss of adult ochre sea stars due to an epidemic of sea star wasting disease and during a three-year marine heatwave when water temperatures were extremely warm,” said Zechariah Meunier, a doctoral graduate of the OSU College of Science and the lead author on the paper. “Sea stars are like the wolves of rocky shores because they normally eat enough mussels and barnacles to prevent these invertebrates from dominating the lower elevation areas. And many kelps did not survive the thermal stress during the heat wave.”
Of further concern to the scientists: When the epidemic ended and ocean temperatures cooled, the rocky shore communities did not return to their baseline conditions. That suggests the communities have low resilience to changes in both temperature and predator numbers.
“Diminishing resilience may lead to degraded rocky shore communities under future climate conditions,” said Meunier, who along
with OSU professors Sally Hacker and Bruce Menge looked at 13 sites spread among Oregon’s Cape Foulweather, Cape Perpetua and Cape Blanco and California’s Cape Mendocino. “And a warming climate will make restoring baseline conditions more difficult – regime shifts to degraded states are likely to last longer and put community structure and ecosystem function at risk.”
Hacker and Menge have been studying Northwest coastal ecosystems for decades. Healthy marine ecosystems are important because the ocean, and the species that live in it, are critical to the proper functioning of the planet. For example, the ocean supplies half of the oxygen humans breathe and annually absorbs one-quarter of the carbon dioxide people emit into the atmosphere.
The scientists note that climate change and pollution are combining to force marine ecosystems to experience unprecedented stressors including harmful algal blooms, ocean acidification and hypoxia. The stressors often work in concert and exacerbate one another, resulting in damage
to marine habitats or species diversity loss.
When stressors are especially severe, they can lead to habitat transitions from one state to another in what’s known as a regime shift.
“A classic example of multiple stressors causing a regime shift is the transition from kelp forests to urchin barrens in the Pacific Ocean off the west coast of North America,” Meunier said. “That transition is attributed to a marine heat wave, urchin overgrazing, historical extirpation of the sea otter and recent mass mortality of the sunflower star. Digging even deeper, the sunflower star demise was itself driven by two stressors: a sea star
While sunflower stars have not recovered, adult ochre sea stars on rocky shores are growing in size and number to what was measured before the disease epidemic. Thus, there is hope that the sea stars will be able to limit the expansion of barnacles and mussels in the future, the researchers say.
The study by Meunier, Hacker and Menge was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Car Show
lected from vehicle entry fees and assorted events including Raffles, 50/50 Draw, Silent Auction, T-Shirt sales with vendors supplementing donation amounts. Those proceeds average 10’s of thousands of dollars per show and are directed to a myriad of needy services.
Brookings kicked off the “season” with the Curry Cruiser Benefit Car Show at the Brookings Harbor. The two day, 30th annual event included the Azalea Parade and took place Saturday and Sunday, May 25-26. $16,120 is in process of being distributed to some 24 local organizations which help in the feeding the community, supporting children, women, seniors, animal shelters, fire safety and related community activities. August 24, The Cruisers will announce the dispersal of these collected funds at 1pm at the Chetco Community Center.
The formula for the schedule of these Benefit Car Shows is essentially the same. A lot of good is being provided by the Curry Cruisers in Brookings.
The Tribes and their casinos also help in raising funds for worthy organizations. Lucky 7 Casino which formally was the prime supporter for the local Muscular Dystrophy Association will now host a car show event of approximately 125 classics and hot rods and raise funds for the Partnership for the Performing Arts Center due to break ground in 2026.
Indeed, Benefit Car Shows bolster
our economy and provide vital services to our rural communities.
Here’s the schedule for the remainder of Car Show season, 2024:
• Redwood AutoXPO in Fortuna, July 26-28. Fabulous 50’s in Grants Pass, July 27.
• Del Norte County Fair, August 2.
• Firemen’s Steak Feed benefits fire prevention services in Coquille, August 3.
• Lucky 7 / Partnership for Performing Arts, Smith River, August 17.
