Young ﬁlmmakers shoot full documentary

BY NATE SCHWARTZ

Curry Coastal Pilot

The Wild Rivers Film Festival held a Youth Film Workshop allowing local teens an opportunity to learn the tricks of the trade of ﬁlmmaking. This week long course taught 20 Curry County kids the formal and artistic tools needed to make movie magic.

The first four days of the course were filmmaking instruction at Southwestern Oregon Community College. Day one was about screenwriting and storytelling, teaching all about film structure and the software that enables script writing and storyboarding.

Day two covered production. The staff set up a mock ﬁlm set and had the students act as the crew. Working as PAs, assistant directors, and more, they were able to produce a super-short ﬁlm while learning

Curry student success fund scholarships

The Curry Student Success Fund (CSSF) completed yet another round of scholarships for local students this year in Curry County. For the 7th year, the local charity held a ceremony to award $15,000 worth of aid to 11 locals seeking higher education. Founded 8 years ago with the hope of providing educational

access to local hopefuls, the CSSF focuses speciﬁcally on those who may be denied other scholarships due to their unique educational journey.

“The mission of the Curry Student Success Fund is to promote educational opportunities and serve all students, including those excluded by local

scholarship foundations because of alternative education choices,” states the CSSF.

Many families in rural areas, with Curry County being no exception, choose alternate schooling methods such as homeschooling. With limited resources and long commutes often common, ﬁnding more

convenient means of schooling is becoming increasingly commonplace. Those students can often be locked out of more traditional scholarship programs.

The ceremony was held at the Southwest Oregon Community College campus in Brookings.

Food Insecurity Resources for Summer in Curry County

For the Pilot

Brookings-Harbor is experiencing a seasonal uptick in food insecurity. “Summer is often a hungry season for families,” explains Sister Cora Rose, who ministers at St. Timothy Episcopal Church in Brookings. “Students aren’t at school receiving meals and snacks; and some forms of supplemental food resources are tied to seasonal charitable giving, like special holiday food boxes and community holiday meals – these typically aren’t available apart from the winter holiday season.”

The Community Kitchen, Brookings CORE Response, and Brookings-Harbor Community Helpers (Food Bank) are all feeling the crunch with increased demand for food from during the summer slump, paired with decreased purchasing power for grocery price inﬂation.

In addition, temporary climate refugees add to the need for food resources on the coast. “We are seeing seasonal uptick of new faces, as folks ﬂee areas with a lot of wildﬁres, high heat and summer smoke,” says Fr. Bernie Lindley, whose church hosts the Community Kitchen several days of the week. “We expect to see this pattern summer after summer.”

Help to spread the word about opportunities to donate items to three great community organizations in Brookings-Harbor. We can all come together to help meet the needs of our neighbors this summer.

In particular, these organizations are in need of the following:

Community Kitchen Kitchen funds and pantry available for all participating churches administered by St. Timothy Episcopal Church as the distribution hub for the kitchens. Financial donations (tax deductible) and nonperishable food donations are appreciated.

Opinion & Letters

Letters to the Editor

Brookings Veterans Town Hall

On August 8th at 5:00 there will be a town hall at the Brookings VA Clinic. Veterans will be given the opportunity to have their voices heard.

A recent article on disabledveterans.org “Senators Pass Bill Allowing VA Doctors To Recommend Medical Marijuana in Legal States” has been brought to Roseburg VA Director Patrick Hull’s attention and hopefully information will be available for Veterans who may beneﬁt.

I have many questions/concerns to address. Roseburg VA did purchase a new MRI to replace the defective/dated GE 1.5T HDX which produced dark blurry images that have mis/under diagnosed Veterans since the day it was installed.

The Cerner Electronic Health Record is severely ﬂawed, and doctors’ referrals, prescriptions and physician’s notes disappear after being entered, delaying/ denying care for Veterans.

VA employees are speaking out about the lack of transparency about problems, and I’ll tell you what they are saying and what you can do (from my own experience) to expedite care when the system fails.

I also want answers as to why Roseburg sent me another Brookings Veteran’s medical records and failed to address this HIPAA violation and swept it under the rug.

I’ve asked Director Hull in regard to the new LUNG CANCER SCREENING

VHA DIRECTIVE 1417 dated May 29, 2024, the following question:

“Does this mean that all Veterans at increased risk of lung cancer due to their exposure to known respiratory carcinogens (Agent Orange, Burn Pits, Asbestos, etc.) are now eligible for the CDC recommended Low dose CT Lung Cancer Screening?”

Crickets, no reply, Camp Lejeune water also causes lung cancer. The PACT Act failed to provide for early detection using Low Dose CT to detect lung Cancer early when it’s 80 percent curable according to the VA.

Mike Berns Brookings

The Wednesday, July 24, Pilot Opinion page included a letter that began with much thoughtful insight, about the quick discarding of things, and people, unwisely deemed as being ‘too old’.

She brought up an excellent point here.

I think that we all have many examples in life that could refute a notion about what is, or who is simply ‘too old’.

Unfortunately, the writer decided, in her letter, to take a sudden hard turn, venting her feelings, and unexpectedly turning her sentences into a Trump “hit piece”.

The hate, fear and mischaracterization that suddenly spewed from her sentences mimicked clearly the hate, fear and mischaracterization found too often ‘these days’ in our once well respected mass media sources.

Rather than bashing Trump, and his policies, I would ask the writer, and all other caring citizens, to compare the results of the current and past White House policy records.

I refuse to bash other candidates, but I’d love to see you look, and listen a little deeper.

During the Trump presidency, our southern border was much more respected, and illegal crossings were minimized, not maximized.

During the Trump presidency, our standing in the world, our national strength, and hence, our world peace, was maximized, not minimized.

During the Trump presidency, the cost of living within our budgets was much more obtainable. More recent inﬂation inducing policies have upended the American Dream for far too many of us.

Please, before we “take the bait” from any of our preferred news outlets, let’s look closer, at the policies, and effects, of our present, and past leaders.

Please let that help decide our future, hopefully a much better, safer, cleaner one for every one of us, including us ‘oldsters’, our children and grandchildren.

Thank you,

Clayton Johnson

Business Oregon awards Community Development Block Grants to fund 8 projects in rural Oregon

Business Oregon is supporting eight city projects statewide through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The CDBG program supports the development of livable communities by expanding economic opportunities and providing suitable housing and living environments for persons of low and moderate income. These eight grants total $5,399,713 and assist rural communities with funding for important projects around the state.

Business Oregon administers the state of Oregon’s annual federal allocation of CDBG funds for non-metropolitan cities and counties. Tribes and urban cities and counties are not included in the state’s program as they receive CDBG funds directly from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Recipients in this round of funding:

City of McMinnville; $500,000 Total CDBG Award

The City of McMinnville’s Housing Rehabilitation Program will use this funding to provide grant funds to approximately 30+ low- to moderate-income owneroccupied homeowners within the McMinnville, Dayton, and Newburg area who are unable to qualify for ﬁnancing and have no other access to home improvement resources. The City will partner with Yamhill County Affordable Housing Corporation and the Housing Authority of Yamhill County, who will provide CDBG housing rehabilitation grants up to $15,000

each. The funding will be used for home repairs essential to preserving the structural and service integrity of stick-built and mobile homes to support household health and safety.

City of Josephine;

$500,000 Total CDBG Award

The Josephine County Housing Rehabilitation Program will use this funding to provide grant funds to approximately 20 low- to moderateincome owner-occupied homeowners within the non-entitlement areas in the county. These homeowners are unable to qualify for ﬁnancing and have no other access to home improvement resources. The County, partnering with Rogue Valley Council of Governments and Home Bridging, will assist with CDBG grants of up to $25,000 each. The funding will be used for making home repairs essential to preserving the structural and service integrity of each home in support of household health and safety for residents/owners of stick-built and mobile homes.

City of Hermiston; $1,500,000 Total CDBG Award

The City of Hermiston will use this funding to construct a storage building for their established food bank, Agape House Food Bank. Agape House was founded in 1986 and has seen a signiﬁcant rise in food insecurity in the past several years. This new building will be located on Agape House’s existing property, adjacent to the current facilities, and

will include cold storage, dry storage, and delivery truck space. The new building will also provide storage space for their other programs, including Veteran Outreach, Hispanic Farmer Outreach, Elementary School Backpack Program, and Martha’s House Food Storage. All beneﬁciaries of this funding will be low-to-moderate income populations.

Lake County; $1,500,000 Total CDBG Award

Lake County will use this funding in partnership with the Lake County Library District to build a new 5,000 square-foot Christmas Valley Branch Library on Countyowned property. This new construction replaces a remote library that has been outgrown and has a quickly expiring lease. Library services have changed and grown over the years and this new facility will have the space needed to expand the library’s provided services and programs.

City of Canyonville; $474,421 Total CDBG Award

The City of Canyonville owns and operates their own water system, and this funding will be used for the design of their water distribution line replacement. This design will address the recently issued revision to service line requirements by EPA and Oregon Health Authority, which calls for the removal for galvanized lines downstream of current or former lead service lines. The intended work is needed to ensure the City’s ability to provide dependable and healthy water service

for the residence and businesses in the City.

City of Port Orford; $465,292 Total CDBG Award

To ensure the City of Port Orford will be able to provide reliable water to their residents during dry season, they will use this funding to complete the design of a new raw water storage tank. Once constructed, the water storage tank will allow the City to capture water during the wet season to provide an uninterrupted supply of water for residential and domestic uses.

City of Elgin; $334,000 Total CDBG Award

The City of Elgin will use this funding to design upgrades to its water system infrastructure, including the well system, distribution system, and waterline improvements. Once constructed, this will help the city resolve problems related to water circulation, water pressure, and the overall reliability of the water supply for their residents and businesses.

City of Shaniko; $126,000 Total CDBG Award

The City of Shaniko will use this funding to design water system improvements that will address an existing pump station, chlorination system, new wet well, electrical/telemetry components replacement, new reservoir, and some pipe replacement. This project will improve continuous access to and availability of clean, affordable, and chlorinated drinking water for their residents and businesses.

Oregon youth suicide data shows action needed to close equity gaps

Despite culturally responsive suicide prevention e orts, racial inequities remain.

Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) Youth Suicide Intervention and Prevention Plan (YSIPP) annual report, which contains new analysis of 2022 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) death by suicide data, shows the risk of youth suicide continues to be a concern in Oregon, particularly for youth of color.

In 2022, the most recent year of ﬁnalized data from the CDC, 109 Oregon youth ages 24 and younger died by suicide, Oregon’s ﬁrst year-to-year increase since 2018. Despite the 2022 increase (up from 95 deaths in 2021), there were 16% fewer youth deaths in 2022 compared with a peak of 129 deaths

in 2018. Moreover, preliminary data, which will not be ﬁnalized until spring 2025, suggest that 2023 will not see a further year-to-year increase in youth suicide rates.

The 2022 data show that Oregon had the 12th highest youth suicide rate in the U.S. Suicide remains the secondleading cause of death in Oregon among this age group.

The YSIPP annual report also highlights Oregon’s investments in this area, including support for statewide programming in youth suicide prevention, intervention and postvention services. The report details important advances in youth suicide prevention in Oregon, such as the addition of 343 suicide prevention trainers in the state, including 67 who speak languages other than English.

In a letter to Oregonians accompanying the report, OHA Behavioral Health Director Ebony Clarke notes, “We have made some progress to create a system of suicide prevention that is better connected and better resourced. Yet, the tragedy of youth suicide remains. We need to do more,

particularly for young people of color.”

Data highlighted in the report show that stark racial disparities remain, both in Oregon and nationwide. Oregon deaths by suicide for youth identiﬁed as white have decreased overall since the overall peak in 2018, but the number of suicides for youth of other races and ethnicities either remained similar to 2018 or have increased.

OHA’s suicide prevention team, along with the hundreds of suicide prevention trainers, advocates, community members and champions around the state, including the Oregon Alliance to Prevent Suicide, are working to implement key initiatives for youth suicide prevention discussed in the YSIPP. This includes programming that supports young people to ﬁnd hope, help and strength, training programs to teach youthserving adults how to recognize warning signs of suicide, and advanced skills training for providers to be equipped to help clients heal from thoughts of suicide.

OHA and its partners are also working hard to launch culturally speciﬁc

initiatives to increase protective factors that support youth in Oregon. In 2023-24, these efforts have included:

• Tribal prevention programs amplifying “culture as prevention” and hosting train-thetrainers for OHA’s “Big River” youth suicide prevention programming, which is available across the state at low or no cost.

• Black, African and African American youth-serving adults creating and sustaining the Black Youth Suicide Prevention Coalition, which is helping to bring healing to Black communities and creating spaces for young people to gather and feel a sense of belonging. Oregon also was one of eight states invited to participate in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Black Youth Suicide Prevention Initiative Policy Academy, which was highlighted as a key “Health Equity in Suicide Prevention” strategy in the federal government’s recently

released 10-year 2024 National Strategy for Suicide Prevention.

• OHA infused an additional $500,000 of funding to increase the availability of suicide prevention training and trainers who are Latino/a/x, Spanishspeaking or both.

• Oregon’s suicide prevention leaders are also working with Joyce Chu and Chris Weaver of the Culture & Suicide Prevention Institute, to infuse their cultural theory and model for suicide prevention into existing trainings, policies and programming. This work, which will increase attention to culturally speciﬁc risk and protective factors in Oregon’s suicide prevention efforts, is also an equity initiative highlighted in the 2024 National Strategy.

Alfonso Ramirez, interim director of OHA’s Equity & Inclusion Division, reﬂected on

the power of suicide prevention that centers connections to culture and belonging. Ramirez said, “Thanks to our community partners and leaders, we’ve recognized how important it is to also focus on the cultural strengths and wisdom that have been passed on for generations across communities. As we do work in this way, we experience a bit of healing ourselves.”

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 day-today, 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.

JAMES, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, as Trustor(s), in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold “as is”. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 575 COOPER AVE, CRESCENT CITY, CA 95531 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any,

shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust.\ emspace The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee’s Sale is estimated to be $162,560.38 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary’s bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event tender other than cash is accepted, the Trustee may withhold the issuance of the Trustee’s Deed Upon Sale until funds become available to the payee or endorsee as a matter of right. The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. 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 Nationwide Posting & Publication at 916.939.0772 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website www. nationwideposting.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0800122423-1. 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.\ emspace Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021 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 916.939.0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA08001224-231 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.

the rules and etiquette of being on set. This also included ‘artdepartment drills’. To learn set dressing and production, the students were split into teams and given a selection of props for dressing a location. The

teams split up the scenes and locations, chose their props, and transformed a space into a filmable set. Days three and four were about technical knowledge. The students learned the basics of sound and camera, getting hands on experience with the filmmaking equipment they would be using for their final task: shooting a real documentary. For the first time in a

generation, the Tolowa Dee-Ni’ nation has been given permission to harvest a redwood tree for their ceremonial canoe. Protections from the parks department restricted their access to an important part of their ancestral customs. The students we are given access to ﬁlm the carving process and interview key members of the tribe during this special opportunity.

The product is their ﬁlm

Canoe. The final cut of the film is still awaiting some final shoots, as the Tolowa Dee-Ni’ have yet to conduct the ‘birthing’ ceremony for the canoe, or the first time it is set out on the water. A showing of the film is planned in the weeks following the ceremony.

A wrap party for the students will be held on Friday August 16th, during the full Wild Rivers Film Festival, where they will show the super-short ﬁlmed

during their technical training. The festival proper takes place from August 15th-18th, the lineup for which is available on the ofﬁcial website. The course was able to take place thanks to support from the Tolowa Dee-Ni’ Nation, Southwestern Oregon Community College, The Ford Family Foundation, and the BrookingsHarbor Education Foundation.

Roger Watts Haag

December 14, 1928 – April 08, 2024

On April 8, 2024, Roger “Old Bear” Haag of Brookings passed peacefully into Heaven due to natural causes. He was 95 years old.

Roger was born in Corvallis, Oregon to J. Roy and Ruth Haag on December 14th of 1928. He earned bachelor’s degrees in business and psychology from Oregon State University. He met the love of his life, Patty, in Corvallis, was married on June 17, 1951, and together they raised four children, Judy, Bruce, Janni, and Curtis.

Roger worked as an ambulance driver, ﬁreman, machinist, microscope repairman, and spent most of his career in the scientiﬁc instrument business in sales and service in Los Angeles, and in the Bay Area.

Later in life he bought a “Mom and Pop” hardware store in Saratoga, California, adding to that a moped and scooter business, which brought about the opening of “Skooterhaus,” a Vespa scooter and moped shop. The members of the Haag family share many fond memories of working together at these stores. Roger “retired” to Brookings, Oregon, where he built his dream home by the ocean, and bought and managed an apartment complex.

Roger will be remembered for his willingness to help people. No matter the time of day or night, he would grab a tool kit and race out the door to help someone replace a failed water heater. He had amazing do-it-yourself skills, a great sense of humor, and his home-made chocolate sauce was sensational. He was a natural musician
