'Seashells and Cowbells' brings

fun to the Curry County Fair

BY NATE SCHWARTZ

Curry Coastal Pilot

The Curry County Fair has come and gone, but once again proved to be a celebration of local talent and community.

The fair, held at the Curry County Fairgrounds showcased hundreds of exhibits from local artists, food from local vendors, and lots of fun for all.

The fair's opening night was a roaring success, as the rodeo drew a full house. Attendees enjoyed events including junior bull riding and the crowd-favorite Mutton Bustin'.

Another highlight was the 4H auction, which broke previous records with the sale prices of livestock. The hard work and dedication of our 4H kids were a huge reason for the impressive numbers.

The Docia Sweet Hall was packed with local exhibits, and a record-breaking number of quilts this year. Food lovers were treated to vendors offering specialties and fair classics, ensuring that nostalgic fair feel. The fair also featured attractions like the "Dinos and

Dragons" show, where lifelike dinosaurs roamed the grounds.

The Canine Stars, who have appeared on "America’s Got Talent," was another impressive act.

Perhaps most impressively, the parade, a cherished tradition, was successfully coordinated despite doubts over whether it would be possible this year. According to Curry County Fairgrounds Manager Teri Hughes, it took community volunteers to make it happen.

“The Parade was saved by community volunteers, and a giant thank you to Jesse Flovin and Brittany Scott for stepping up and coordinating that,” stated Hughes.

The Port Orford Rotary ensured smooth and courteous parking, while Gold Beach Fire and other county employees stepped up to manage ticket booths.

Overall, this year’s Curry County Fair was a resounding success, reflecting the dedication and enthusiasm of our community.

New turf for Brookings Harbor

JERRY ULMER

OSAAtoday

For years, Brookings-Harbor's best-laid plans to install an artiﬁcial turf football ﬁeld always seemed to hit a snag.

“Funding sources fell through,” athletic director Keith Wallin said. “Lot of different reasons. Nobody's fault, just logistically didn't work out.”

This week, though, those dreams are about to be realized. On Tuesday, workers will begin laying FieldTurf on the stadium ﬁeld at Brookings-Harbor, giving the 3A Bruins the only artiﬁcial turf football surface within a two-hour drive on the South Coast.

“This is about the third go we've had at trying to do this,” Wallin said.

“We've got a lot of really special things planned.”

The football field is part of a nearly $2 million facilities upgrade. The school also is installing a new track, replacing the artificial turf infield on the softball field and building a multi-use practice field from the soil removed from the stadium field.

“It's a construction-ﬁlled summer around here,” Wallin said. Much of it was made possible by South Coast Lumber, which made contributions responsible for about two-thirds of the project. Tidewater Contractors contributed

STAFF REPORT

Country Media, Inc.

The impact of this year’s wildﬁre season continues to reverberate throughout the state as the number of acres burned reaches 1.2 million. At this time, the number of acres burned is four times the average when compared to the same point in past seasons. As many as 1,261 ﬁres have burned across the state with more than 100 still active.

Five megafires, fires that exceed 100,000 acres, are still burning in Eastern Oregon: The Battle Mountain Complex, Lone Rock, Durkee, Cow Valley and Falls fires. These megafires are now between 19% and 99% contained. Residents in these communities have been deeply affected by the wildfires. As many as 18,000 residents were under a level 1, 2 or 3 evacuation level during the height of the response to date with more than 8,000 still under some type of evacuation warning.

“South Coast Lumber stepped up and said, 'We want to do something special,'” Wallin said.

“There was just a lot great community help for it. The guys that were working on it were all guys that graduated from Brookings. They've got ownership.

“We're really trying not to incur much, if any, costs to the school district, especially with tight budget times.”

Construction on a new track will begin

“Just something to make it personal, a little signature,” Wallin said.

The full scale of the loss will not be clear for a few months at least. Initial reports show that dozens of people have been injured, and there was at least one wildfire-related death.

Initial reports show fires have destroyed as many as 28 homes and 73 structures. Much of the damage has been to grazing land and livestock, heavily impacting the ranching community in eastern Oregon. More than 10,000 people are involved in the response including 261 fire crews, 483 engines and 31 helicopters. Local and statewide emergency response departments and agencies

Opinion & Letters

The Importance of Social Security

By Stacy LarSen Communications Director, AARP Oregon

In today's world, few things are as deeply woven into the fabric of our nation as Social Security. For over eight decades, this bedrock program has offered economic security and dignity to millions of retirees, people with disabilities, and surviving spouses and children. It is a sacred promise between the government and the American people who pay in and earn their Social Security over a lifetime of hard work.

A pillar of retirement security

At its core, Social Security is a vital pillar of retirement security. Over the past years, as traditional employer-paid pensions have declined and retirement savings have shrunk, Social Security still provides guaranteed income Americans can count on throughout their lifetime.

Today, 67 million people benefit from Social Security. Forty percent of older Americans rely on Social Security for more than 50 percent of their family income. Fourteen percent relies on Social Security for 90 percent or more of their family income.

Importance of Social Security

To demonstrate why Social Security is such a vital source of retire -

ment income, about half of the workforce has no employer-provided retirement plan. More than one in three working households age 21 to 64 has no individual savings set aside for retirement and 44% of people who are closer to retirement -- ages 55-64 -- have no retirement savings accounts. Even those households age 50 to 59 with retirement savings do not have enough; over 60 percent have less than $100,000.

Promoting economic stability

Social Security plays a pivotal role in promoting economic stability for individuals and communities by providing a steady stream of income to retirees, who spend it on the necessities of daily life, contributing $1.4 trillion a year to the US economy. Additionally, it reduces poverty among vulnerable populations and lessens the burden on other government programs.

The future of Social Security Social Security is paid for by dedicated payroll taxes and the interest those taxes have built up in the Security Trust Funds. Before 2021, Social Security collected more in taxes and interest than it paid out, so it built up a surplus to support the retirement of the “Baby Boomer” generation. Today that

surplus is being used to supplement incoming payroll tax income, but eventually the Trust Funds will face a shortfall in 2034 according to current estimates.

The shortfall is caused by a growing population of retirees and lower birth rates. When that happens, Social Security will still be able to pay 80% of benefits, but a cut of 20% -- an average of over $4,000 a year -would hurt both individuals and communities. However, if our leaders in Washington take action, America’s most reliable foundation of income security will keep delivering on its promise.

Wild Rivers Film Fest preview: four can’t miss movies

For the Pilot

Choosing from over four dozen

ﬁlms being shown at this year’s festival, the folks from the Wild Rivers Film Festival narrowed down some must-sees to put on your weekend schedule.

The opening night ﬁlm, Les Filles du Roi, and our screening of Spirit of the Wind will be offered free to the community this year (based on requests from last year's ﬁlm festival).

The French musical “Les Filles Du Roi” opens the 2024 Wild Rivers Film Festival at 8:00 pm on Thursday, August 15, at the Redwood Theater. Crafted by Corey Payette, an interdisciplinary storyteller, writer, composer, producer and director in TV and ﬁlm, this story follows a young Mohawk girl, Kateri, and her brother, Jean-Baptiste, as their lives are disrupted by the arrival of Les Filles du Roi in 1665 'New France'. And the unlikely relationship they forge with young ﬁlle Marie-Jean Lesperance, whose dream of a new life is more complicated than she could have imagined. Payette is known for his deeply moving, large-scale original musical creations that challenge the public's notion of what musicals can be.

“Spirit of the Wind” is a truelife story of George Attla, famous Alaskan dog sled driver. Set in the 1950s, this ﬁlm explores the ways in which a disabled Athabaskan youth comes to terms with both his disability and the cultural

icts he experiences through his gift for dog sledding. Writers Ralph Liddle and John Logue bring empathy and inspiration to the fore in this beautifully crafted family adventure story. Spirit of the Wind will be offered free to the community at 6:00pm on Friday, August 16, and Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 pm

Another of the most anticipated features this year is "Plight," directed by MJ Alhabeeb Jr. This gripping thriller follows Valentina, a Ukrainian woman who arrives in the United States to care for her sister after a devastating hit-andrun accident. As the local authorities hit a dead end in their investigation, Valentina joins forces with Joe, her ﬁancé's determined father, to seek justice.

For those who didn't get a chance to attend the WRFF Preseason Event on May 27, "Art Thief" will be returning to the Wild Rivers screen. Directed by Arthur Egeli, this ﬁlm takes a sweetly thrilling approach to a heist story, with Max Deacon and Jacqueline Emerson playing the charismatic duo, Kevin and Olympia. Their chemistry drives this modern-day Bonnie and Clyde tale, inspired by the infamous 1990 Boston art heist.

More information on the 2024 lineup of films can be found on the Wild River Film Festival website. Passes can be purchased online or at the WRFF Box Office at the Redwood Theater during the festival. https://www.wildriversfilmfestival.com/films.

The four movies will be previewing at the upcoming Wild Rivers Film Fest: "Les Filles Du Roi" "Spirit of the Wind," "Plight," and "Art Theif." The films will be playing from August 15 through August 18th.

not only will beneﬁ t Brookings-Harbor, but it could play host to events for other schools on the South Coast, especially late in the season when grass ﬁ elds turn muddy.

The closest artifi cial turf football fi elds are about 100 miles away at Marshfi eld, Hidden Valley and Grants Pass high schools.

Wallin said the school also is looking into playing host to summer events.

“We have some really big plans in the future to host some 7-v-7 soccer tournaments in the summertime, when we know the valley schools are going to want to come over to get out of the heat,” he said. “And we're also starting early-stage plans to host a major football camp. We're also fully prepared for valley schools to call us when

they're having to deal with smoke.”

The Brookings-Harbor stadium ﬁ eld not only had a severe crown – about four feet – but it retained a lot of water due to the content of the soil. Heavily used by the community, it often became very soft. At certain times of the year, the surface would become rock hard.

Due to jumping pits and light towers inside the track, the playable area was too narrow for soccer matches, forcing the school's teams to play on the baseball outﬁ eld.

To prepare for the project, the school moved the light towers outside the track in early 2023.

This summer, the school moved the jumping pits to each end of the ﬁ eld, between the end zones and the track.

That means the playable area ﬁ nally is big enough to accommodate

soccer matches. School teams also will be able to practice on the new grass ﬁ eld that is being constructed adjacent to the stadium ﬁ eld.

“That was never a

usable space before,” Wallin said. The new ﬁ elds will complement the school's 100x120-foot indoor artiﬁ cial turf facility that was built 15 years ago.

The undersigned hereby certifies that no assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary and no appointments of a successor trustee have been made, except as

recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above-described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.735(4). There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. As of the date hereof, the defaults for which foreclosure is made is grantor's failure to pay when due the principal balance of $90,000.00, plus interest from 5/1/2023 at an annual rate of 8% which is $97,278.90 plus late charges of $330.00, and current foreclosure costs of $2,331.96 all totaling $99,940.86 which is the total required to pay off. Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from dayto-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. Notice hereby is given that the beneficiary, by reason of said default, has elected and does hereby elect to foreclose the trust deed by advertisement and sale pursuant to ORS 86.705 to 86.795, and to cause to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the described property which grantor had, or had the power to convey, at the time of the execution by grantor of the trust deed, together with any interest grantor or grantor's successor in interest acquired after the execution of the trust deed, to satisfy the obligations secured by the trust deed and the expenses of the sale, including the compensations of the trustee as provided by law, and the reasonable fees of trustee's attorneys. The Sale will be held at the hour of 10:00 AM, in accord with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110 on 9/30/2024, at the following place: In the lobby of the Curry County Courthouse, 29821 Ellensburg Avenue, Gold Beach which is the hour, date and place last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address Paula Lotti 15860 Sea Cliff Terrace Brookings, OR 97415 Nature of Right, Lien or Interest Grantor under Deed of Trust and Current Vestee Notice is further given that any person named in ORS 86.753 has the right, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for the sale, to have this foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of the principal as would not then be due had no default occurred) and by curing any other default complained of herein that is capable of being cured by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, and in addition to paying the sums or tendering the performance necessary to cure the default, by paying all costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the obligation and trust deed, together with trustee's and attorney fees not exceeding the amounts provided by ORS 86.753. Without limiting the trustees disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee's sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee's sale. In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word "grantor" includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words "trustee" and "beneficiary" include their respective successors in interest, if any. If you have been

previously granted a discharge through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this Notice of Default and Election to Sell is intended to exercise the note holders (beneficiaries) rights against the real property only.

OEM and agency partners want to caution the public to beware of scams when donating, and only give to trusted organizations. Scammers often contact their possible victims by telephone, social media, email or in person so be suspicious of direct asks. Also, be cautious if the person asking for donations creates a sense of urgency and won’t let you think about it or donate later. If you want to donate money to support the wildﬁre recovery effort, it’s best to donate to the organization directly.

OEM has compiled library of additional recovery resources with information from multiple agencies to help residents during and after of a ﬁre. This library includes but is not limited to:
