Outbreak leads to case surge County is up to 55 cases after 21 are reported at Sea View Senior Living facility LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot

Curry County added 22 more cases in the week since Oct. 7, bringing the total to 55 cases. Except for one, all of the new cases are centered in Brookings at Sea View Senior Living’s long term memory care unit, with one patient hospitalized with symptoms, according to the press release

from Curry County Public Health. Other Sea View patients were reported by to be asymptomatic. Of the Seaview cases, 19 positives are memory care residents, according to a letter to residents, families and healthcare partners that Executive Director Cristi Parada forwarded to The Pilot. “Each is asymptomatic and not showing any signs or symptoms, which we are grateful to see,” Parada said in the letter. She was unable to comment on the reported hospitalization when asked. In addition to the nineteen residents, six cases are staff members, some of which are residents of Del Norte County and are not included in Curry County’s numbers. “All are at home resting and will begin to

return to work in the next few days as their mandatory quarantine period expires,” Parada said. Sea View is isolating memory care workers from the independent and assisted living portion of the facility. “We have two teams employed at Sea View; one is memory care focused, and the other assists our independent and assisted living residents,” she said. “We are relieved that our independent and assisted staff continue to pass their tests. “We strive to maintain a heightened awareness and vigilance to this pandemic. Visitors are restricted and Sea View continues to implement social distancing during meals, using

Zoom meetings, telecommuting and online school are now the daily struggle with internet speeds resembling molasses in January on a jammed internet superhighway. High-speed internet has gone beyond being just a good idea for entertainment to becoming an essential tool for work and school. Last March in a story by The Pilot, Coos-Curry Electric Co-op (CCEC) announced plans to explore installation of a fiber optic network to provide high-speed internet to all CCEC members. Fast forward to today and they

are now taking names, deposits and commitments for their future products with a nearer future on the horizon for serving their first group of customers by mid-April 2021. For many southern Oregon coastal residents the new service would be welcome — the sooner the better. CCEC first began exploring interest amongst its co-op members with a December 2018 survey. While the company isn’t willing to publish the survey, Jacob Knudsen, Marketing and Membership Services Manager shared that “17 percent of CCEC members do not have access to the internet at their homes and another 15 percent are critically underserved. Additionally, nearly 60 percent of members indicated they are likely or very likely to subscribe to broadband service if

offered by CCEC.” Beacon Broadband, a for-profit subsidiary of CCEC, was incorporated this past June. In September, a webpage with a low-key rollout emerged on CCEC’s website announcing the new subsidiary. “Accessing twenty-first-century digital services such as telemedicine, remote telecommuting, and distance learning can be challenging, given the current bandwidth constraints in much of CCEC’s service territory,” according to the website. “CCEC’s Beacon Broadband project is intended to solve this problem by bringing the high-speed fiber experience where no one else will go.” The Beacon Broadband webpage provides suggested pricing, describes internet plans, plus TV and phone services. Internet

costs range from $55 per month for the most basic internet service plan to $130 per month for their 1 Gigabit service. Optional TV packages and phone service are additional. The FAQ section of the website discusses in depth the potential rewards as well as risks. The website also asks those who are interested in the service to pre-register. The registration fee of $50 is a modest request of earnest money that will help the company gauge the degree of commitment and interest in the project. It is actually a deposit that will double in value as a bill credit once the services are available in the subscriber’s area.

Curry County finalizes ballot drop sites for election Voter registrations surge in county before deadline THE PILOT Curry County has 18,964 registered voters as of Oct. 14, an increase of more than 6 percent from 17,789 last year, with 138 of those new registrations just in October. “We’ve been very busy lately,” said Shelley Denney, Chief Deputy in the Curry County Elections Office. Where those ballots end up is

important. Ballots of registered voters need to be marked and received in an official drop box or in the County Clerk’s office by 8 p.m. on election day, Nov. 3. to be counted in this year’s general election. Postmarks do not count in Oregon. The County Elections Office recommends mailing no later than Oct. 27. Postage is not required.

Blood donations play a crucial role in cancer treatment

rus, regardless of whether an individual developed COVID-19 symptoms. Red Cross antibody tests will be helpful to identify individuals who have COVID-19 antibodies and may now help current coronavirus patients in need of convalescent plasma transfusions. Convalescent plasma is a type of blood donation collected from COVID-19 survivors that have antibodies that may help patients who are actively fighting the virus. COVID-19 antibody test results will be available within one to two weeks in the Red Cross Blood Donor App or donor portal at RedCrossBlood.org. A positive antibody test result does not confirm infection or immunity. The Red Cross is not testing donors to diagnose illness, referred to as a diagnostic test. To protect the health and safety of Red Cross staff and donors, it is important that individuals who do not feel well or believe they may be ill with COVID-19 postpone donation. Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions – including temperature checks, social distancing and face coverings for donors and staff – have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive and are required to wear a face covering or mask while at the drive, in alignment with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention public guidance.

Drug takeback set for Oct. 24 at Sheriff’s Office in Gold Beach LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot

The Curry County Sheriff’s Office is taking back unwanted prescription drugs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Curry County Sheriff’s Office at 29808 Colvin St., Gold Beach. The Curry County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have provided 19 opportunities over the past 9 years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs. Bring your pills for disposal to the Curry County Sheriff’s Office. They can only accept pills and patches and cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps.

This event typically happens every fall and spring, but due to COVID-19 the spring collection was cancelled.” This year due to COVID-19 precautions people are asked to observe the recommendations from the CDC by wearing a mask while in the building to drop off unwanted medications. “It is my goal to do collection events through-

out the county, alternating North vs South county,” Krohn said. “For example, If we did Harbor and Gold Beach in the fall, I would like to do Port Orford and Gold Beach in the spring. But again, due to the COVID restrictions, I have had to consolidate my efforts this year.” This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs.º The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows year after year that the majority of misused and abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including someone else’s medication being stolen from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safety and health hazards. The collected medications are turned over to the DEA for incineration at a regional facility in Washington. For more information about the disposal of prescription drugs or about the Oct. 24 Takeback Day event, go to www.DEATakeBack.com or contact the Curry County Sheriff’s Office at 541-247-3242.

Donate blood with Red Cross to help people fighting breast cancer Those who donate from Oct. 5-Nov. 11 will receive a $5 Amazon gift card THE PILOT During Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to band together to provide hope and healing to patients fighting cancer by giving blood or platelets. In appreciation, those who come to give Oct. 15Nov. 11 will receive a $5 Amazon.com Gift Card via email, courtesy of Suburban Propane. Donors are asked to make appointments by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood. org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. Donors of all blood types are urged to help ensure a stable supply for cancer patients and others this fall. To thank those who come to give in October, the Red Cross is also offering a $1,000 Amazon. com Gift Card to five lucky winners. Some restrictions apply. More information and details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/Unite.

Diane Doehrman began donating blood during college. In the years following, she became a platelet donor and even helped start blood drives in her community. More recently, Doehrman’s been on the receiving end of blood donations. Fourteen years ago, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Now she has an incurable cancer, malignant mixed Müllerian tumor. “As a cancer patient, I had to have blood transfusions several times when the chemotherapy treatments have destroyed my immune system,” she said. “I am so very thankful for the donations from others. It can truly save a life.” Cancer patients undergoing surgery and chemotherapy may require red blood cell or platelet transfusions. In fact, patients fighting cancer need more blood than those with any other disease, using nearly one-quarter of the nation’s blood supply.

Curry Community Health has been making the rounds handing out cash this month.

We welcome your input Dear Reader, As your community newspaper, we provide a platform for local civil commentary. We also focus on local news and politics. As part of that focus, we are limiting published letters that lobby for a U.S. presidential candidate in the upcoming election. By confining such letters to two per issue of the newspaper, we can ensure we have room for a variety of other content, both local and - to a lesser extent - national. We are also establishing some new rules for letters to the editor. Any that contain name calling, baseless accusations, false or inaccurate information, or personal attacks will not be published. Letters intended only to inflame others, rather than foster community conversation, will not be published. Thank you for contributing. Ben Kenfield Publisher

Letters to the editor Peter DeFazio supports our ports

Vote for Schreiber, Brookings City Council

Most people vote party line, but I urge people to vote the bottom line – funding for our region. A vote for Congressman De Fazio is a vote for the bottom line. De Fazio’s hard work in Congress has secured additional dollars to support the U.S. Coast Guard, dredging and improvements at local ports, and the commercial fishing fleet. His support of the infrastructure improvements for the hard-working men and women who fish commercially or for sport and the Coasties that protect them is crucial for maintaining the healthy economic bottom line of Curry County’s coastal cities. A vote for DeFazio is a vote for our local ports. Julia Bott Brookings

I am writing in support of Ed Schreiber for City Council. As a personal friend I have found Ed to be a man of integrity and honesty with a sincere concern for his neighbors. Along with his wife Linda, Ed has served as a volunteer for numerous organizations and has been a consistent positive influence in our community. Ed is well informed and is able to discuss complex and even controversial topics with a thoughtful, non-confrontational approach. He is a natural leader who is skilled at consensus-building through meaningful dialogue. I am confident that Ed will serve on the Council without promoting a personal agenda but with the best interest of the entire community as a priority. I would urge you to join me in voting for Ed Schreiber, City Council, Position 2. Rob Foster Brookings

Joe Morgan, baseball legend mourned I was a catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies when Joe Morgan broke into the major leagues with the Houston Colts. The Colts had just gotten into baseball with its first major league team and this specific year we (the Phillies) had beaten the Colts 17 straight times and one more would be an all-time record. We had a one-run lead until the Colts got the tying and winning run in scoring position in the ninth inning. They sent up a pinch hitter named Joe Morgan and he got a single into right field and won the game. I walked back to the dugout to take off my catching gear. We were filing out after the game, and the clubhouse man always had food and drinks for the players to suck up before flying home. I took my gear off and started walking to the clubhouse out the right field fence. I noticed Gene Mauch our Manager was 200 feet ahead of me; I was last. As I opened up the clubhouse door, I was shocked at what I saw. Mauch hated losing that game so much that he had thrown all the food off the table in different directions and the items in gravy went all over some nice suits players were going to wear home. My locker was away from the table so I was out of trouble. I sat down, took off my jersey, pulled my sweatshirt over my head, left it there and laughed quietly. Joe Morgan was not only a good second baseman but a wonderful person. God Bless you Joe. As I turn 84 on Dec. 3, I will join you soon, as you will love this story. Clayton Dalrymple Hunter Creek

Get ‘er done, America Our ballots are arriving. Time for America to become America again. Only 17 percent of us still view America as Reagan’s “shining city on a hill.” But now we can climb that hill to reclaim our national honor by evicting a president who has: Lied and cowered before COVID-19 — showing zero compassion and rejecting all responsibility as 215,000 Americans died and millions of jobs were lost in the world’s most failed response to the pandemic; Deliberately divided America for his own political benefit, according to General James Mattis, his former Defense Secretary; Bootlicked our enemy Putin – ignoring his death bounties on U.S. troops, handing him state secrets, and “aiding and abetting” his election sabotage according to former National Security Advisor General H.R. McMaster; Proved himself unqualified to be president, according to some 300 retired generals, admirals, national security directors and defense secretaries – overwhelmingly conservatives – who endorsed Joseph Biden; Debased our military veterans; Intentionally inflamed white nationalism and cheered right-wing violence; Conducted what George Will calls a “gangster regime” that skimmed millions of taxpayer dollars and donor payola for his family business and swamp-feeding cronies; Pardoned his felon friends; And defiled every principle – courage, morality, support for democracy, respect for law, and simple decency – that made America history’s greatest nation. So now we vote to reject the divisive politics of fear and racism, the abominations of family separations and children in cages. We halt the pandering to

Putin and Pyongyang and predators and Proud Boys. We require government officials to be chosen by actual qualifications, not family nepotism or blind loyalty. And we banish cowardice, ignorance, corruption, pathological lying, bigotry, misogyny, rage-tweeting and self-glorification from the nation’s house – instead choosing integrity, dignity, competence and character as proper qualifications for the presidency. Get ‘er done, America. Mike Gaynes Brookings

We have choices Scott Atlas, Trump’s newly minted COVID-19 adviser, is a charlatan posing as knowledgeable in infectious diseases but lacking relevant expertise. Atlas is a radiologist who has been repudiated by 78 of his former colleagues from Stanford Medical School for expressing opinions contrary to medical science consensus. Herd immunity with a disease such as COVID-19 requires that 70 percent of the population become immune. With a current population of 330 million, this means 230 million Americans must contract the disease, recover, and become immune. Unfortunately, the jury is still out on whether those recovering from COVID-19 gain long-term immunity. Case mortality in the U.S. is currently 2.9 percent. Assuming that this death rate applies to those Americans contracting the disease, over 6 million of us must die. Additionally, many individuals recovering from the disease experience long-term damage to their lungs, heart and brain. Thus, in addition to the millions of deaths, Trump’s plan will cause many thousands of Americans to suffer long-term health consequences. At the same time as he’s promoting American deaths, Trump is committed to eliminating the Affordable Care Act and eliminate health coverage for millions of Americans. We have choices: follow medical science or proposals leading to millions of deaths. Alan Journet Jacksonville, OR

Huge ‘Thank You’ to BHEF! Last school year we received a grant from Brookings Harbor Education Foundation (BHEF) that partially covered the purchase of a vertical garden.

One person, one vote...I think NOT! Tom Simas Gold Beach

Loeb Park closures criticized Kudos to Bill Vogel for keeping the Loeb Park River Trail open and usable for the past twenty years. I have seen him hard at work there many times the past few years, while the only park employees I have ever seen have only been putting up closure signs. Like the Pacific Coast Trail, the river trail has only been passable due largely to the efforts of hard working volunteers. The state park staff’s excuse that the river trail may remain closed for two more years due to budget concerns because of their decisions to close revenue producing areas is ridiculous. Loeb Park has remained closed all summer but surely not for COVID-related reasons because somehow Harris Beach has remained open during that same time period. The summer maintenance costs at Loeb could not possibly exceed the revenue that could be gained from the millions of dollars in infrastructure that has already been installed there in recent years. It seems the only thing the local state park staff has been busy with this year is closing places and making excuses. Kevin Vanginderen Brookings

Happy to Keep Reneè Kolen as clerk I am happy to vote to keep Reneè Kolen Clerk! I have worked with and know Renee well. I can tell you that as a former businessman and veteran this county is very lucky to have a no-nonsense and competent person who knows their job extremely well and gives friendly and cheerful service while she is doing it. The staff in the County Clerk’s Elections and recording offices is friendly, helpful and well trained. Reneè and Shelley are always right there to help staff and keep work moving and correct. The Curry County public land record and elections departments are in great hands. We would do well to keep her on the job and vote Reneè Kolen for Curry County Clerk. William (Bill) Waddle Brookings

Curry nonprofits receive funds A6 | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2020

THE PILOT Coronavirus Relief Fund Cultural Support (CRFCS) grant awards totaling $25.7 million will be distributed to 621 cultural organizations across Oregon through a partnership between the Oregon Cultural Trust and its County and Tribal Cultural Coalitions. The funds, allocated to the Cultural Trust for Oregon cultural organizations facing losses due to the COVID-19 health crisis, were made available through a $50 million relief package for Oregon culture approved by the Emergency Board of the Oregon Legislature in July. In Curry County, a total of $57,264 was awarded to seven organizations: Brookings Harbor Education Foundation, Inc., Brookings, $3,086; Chetco Valley Historical Society, Brookings, $6,989; Curry Coast Community Radio, Brookings, $3,985; Curry County Historical Society, Gold Beach, $8,317; Harmony & Me Music Outreach, Brookings, $7,326; Nature’s Coastal Holiday, Inc., Brookings, $14,007; and Wild Rivers Coast Foundation for Dance, Brookings, $13,554. “Many cultural organizations and institutions have closed their doors to help keep us all safe during this pandemic. These grants will mean that more than 600 Oregon arts and culture organizations across our state’s counties and Tribes will be able to keep up their vital creative work,” said Governor Kate Brown. “Everything from museums to fairgrounds to the summer events we all know and love can continue to enrich our lives—connecting us to

one another and giving us the hope and inspiration we need.” “These funds are life blood to Oregon’s cultural community,” added Chuck Sams, chair of the Cultural Trust Board of Directors. “While they won’t replace all the losses suffered during the pandemic, they will ensure Oregon culture survives this crisis. We are deeply grateful to the Oregon Legislature for making this possible.” The largest award is $1.4 million to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry; the average grant award is $41,458. Just under $90 million in requests were received from 751 organizations; 130 organizations were ineligible for awards based on program guidelines. “Due to the incredible need, we were able to fund a percentage of organizations’ eligible expenses,” said Brian Rogers, Cultural Trust executive director. “Smaller organizations received a higher percentage of their eligible expenses. The final awards represent a statewide, equitable distribution plan that was approved by our Board of Directors, the Governor’s Office, Business Oregon and our legislative sponsors.” The organizations to receive funding include cultural institutions, county fairgrounds, cultural entities within federally recognized Indian Tribes based in Oregon, festivals and community event organizations, in addition to some for-profit organizations that have significant cultural impact in their communities. Awards will be issued directly to the organizations by their local County or Tribal Coalition.

networks. The experience of a fiber optic network is like night and day compared to cable, satellite and cellular network services. Imagine being able to download a high-definition, full feature-length, broadcast-quality movie in a matter of seconds instead of hours. It can be that fast, as in up to 100 times as fast as your current service. Having high speed broadband available would not only improve daily life in our “new normal” but could even attract high-tech companies and good paying jobs to replace timber and fishing jobs that have diminished over the last decade or two. That outcome could allow grown children to remain in their communities with living wage jobs instead of taking flight to the bigger world to make their fortunes. CCEC views the broadband project to be as important to our rural communities as the Rural Electrification Project. “Needless to say, we are very excited about the benefits high-quality reasonably priced broadband will bring to our communities,” Knudsen said. “I personally feel this is as important as bringing electricity to underserved rural communities was 80 years ago.” Every big project inherently contains risks that go along with rewards. To explore some of the questions people in the community need to consider, we asked CCEC a few questions. Here are the questions, and replies from Knudsen. Q: Has preregistration on the Beacon website provided any indication of how the project is being received now that people are being asked to provide “earnest money” to back up their support? A: People seem to be very interested in the project and we have exceeded our early benchmarks for preregistration. Despite a soft rollout of the preregistration program, we are excited about the number of registrants and the grassroots efforts by community members to help spread the word. Q: Where has Beacon Broadband planned to begin deployment or building the broadband project? A: The Beacon Broadband project is in the early stages of development. CCEC has applied for federal funding and will know the status of that request by the end of the year. Once funding is secured, detailed engineering will begin and building the network will follow. Beacon Broadband will use a rolling design and build process in which some areas will be built before other areas are designed. Our current timeline is to provide service to the first group of customers by mid-2021 and the network completely built by 2025. Q: What is the basis for building to begin in a chosen area? Will it be based on the number and density of CCEC members living in the area before project building begins? A: Many factors contribute to deciding which areas Beacon Broadband will build first. Some of the key drivers include the layout of the network, the cost to build network segments, and the interest shown by communities through pre-registrations. Q: Would non-CCEC members possibly get Broadband before all CCEC members are served? A: Beacon Broadband will be serving customers outside of the CCEC service territory where it

makes economic sense. Some nonCCEC members may receive service before it is available to all CCEC members. The network will be built following a deployment plan designed to achieve the highest chance of success. Q: While I’m excited about possibly getting Broadband, I don’t live in a densely populated area and my address is 5 miles from U.S. Highway 101. Previously, I lived less than a half-mile from a DSL line, which the provider would not extend even that very short distance because the farms were too far apart for it to pay off. Is it possible my address may be low on the priority list? or possibly the never list? A: Beacon Broadband will make service available to every person in the designated service area who wishes to subscribe to service. We plan to have the network built in its entirety by 2025. Q: When we spoke last spring, Mr. Bischoff, General Manager and CEO, indicated that CCEC planned to make fiber broadband available to every single CCEC customer. Has this changed, especially since the company is now for profit? A: The initial goal of bringing fiber to the premise of every CCEC customer, who wishes to subscribe, has not changed - this goal is a fundamental cornerstone of the project. Q: I was a little surprised to see that the Broadband business model is “for profit” and not as a cooperative. My earlier perception of it as a cooperative venture led me to believe services would be covered more or less at cost, which would certainly advantage CCEC over competitors. What happens to the profit (or loss) and how does that affect CCEC members? A: Our planning process involved examining several possible organizational structures ranging from being a division of CCEC to a fully independent and investor-owned company. All organizational structures had pros and cons. We found that the wholly-owned, for-profit subsidiary structure aligned best with CCEC’s goals, provided the best opportunity for providing services and for receiving state and federal funds, and offered the greatest regulatory flexibility. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCEC, any profit (or loss) passes through to CCEC. The commitment to service those that other internet service providers choose not to demonstrates Beacon Broadband’s focus on community benefit over profit margins. Q: What is the total expected cost of the Beacon Broadband Project? A: The total cost of the project is expected not to exceed $64 million. Q: The project description says that you will be seeking grant funding but also apply for loan funding. How much of the cost is expected/ hoped to be received in federal and state funds? A: We are not in a position to provide details on the federal funds we are pursuing or the mix of federal, state, and loan funds we hope to achieve. We are participating in a Federal Communications Commission process that provides federal subsidies that will cover a portion of the costs of bringing high-speed broadband services to areas in need of such services. We may also participate in programs offered by the Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development Service, The Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration, and other federal programs. We also look forward to the further development

of opportunities that should be made available through the expansion of Oregon’s broadband fund approved this year. Q: Will you be applying for any nongovernmental grant funding? A: We may apply for nongovernmental grant funding; however, we are very careful of the other uses of these funds. Many nongovernmental foundations provide funding to critical social services programs throughout southwest Oregon. We want to ensure we do not draw funds from these programs to support our project. Q: How much would be paid for with a loan? the anticipated dollar amount of the loan? Worst or bestcase scenarios? A: All of the projects costs not covered by grant funds will be covered by loans. Because of the 10-year subsidy payment model of the primary federal program we are working with, we may have to borrow up to $60 million. Q: Would there be financial investors with a stake or interest in having broadband? A: Beacon Broadband will be wholly owned by CCEC; we will not solicit other financial investors. Q: What is the security for the loan? A: CCEC has the borrowing capacity and relationship to lending institutions necessary to secure the loans needed. Q: If the project fails, who will be responsible for the loan? A: The project is backed by a business plan that uses very conservative assumptions regarding the number of subscribers and worst-case scenarios for construction costs. In the unlikely event the project fails, CCEC will be responsible for the unrecovered costs after the network assets are sold. Q: Is it possible the loan might compromise CCEC’s ability to handle an emergency for its electric services by compromising the coop’s borrowing ability? A: CCEC is in a very healthy financial position. CCEC’s board has directed that the broadband project not jeopardize CCEC’s ability to respond to an emergency. Despite the decrease in equity as money is borrowed to build the fiber network, CCEC will still have sufficient borrowing capacity to respond to an emergency. Q: What are the financial goals of Beacon Broadband within the first year of deployment? A: The network will be deployed in a manner that allows us to connect subscribers as soon as possible so Beacon Broadband can start covering its loan payments. Q: If the goal is to be a self-sustaining for-profit subsidiary of CCEC, how long will it take and how many CCEC members would need to become subscribers (average between 100mbps-1GB)? A: The timeline to achieve self-sustaining revenues depends largely on the amount of subsidy funding we receive from the primary federal program we have applied to and how fast we are able to build the network and connect subscribers. We have based our business plan on fairly conservative assumptions (that is, lower take rates and higher construction costs than we hope for or expect) We expect the broadband project to be self-sustaining by the fourth year of the project.

I have been a business-minded person since I was a small child. I started my own company at 19 years old and still own it to this day. Knowing the ups and downs of starting, maintaining and hopefully growing a small business is a critical life experience that helps me see the coming consequences of reckless legislation that we have become all too familiar with in the Oregon Legislature over the past couple decades. With that in mind, I have seen how overbearing

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2020 | A7

Outdoorsmen Association, Democratic Gun Owner’s Caucus What do you feel are the most important issues facing the state? Firstly, the economic impact of the recent restrictions placed on Oregonians, especially rural Oregonians to perform work due to the State mandates. Secondly, while rural Oregonian’s property taxes have skyrocketed, most people don’t know that between 1990 - 2012 Oregon’s political leadership drastically altered property tax laws for Wall Street Timber corporations. Wall Street Timber had a 90% decrease of property tax, and a 99 percent cut in

harvest severance. Before 1990 this went to fund Public Safety and other rural county services. On real numbers that is a $50 million loss to rural Oregonians every year How would you try to address those issues? We need logical and factual solutions to these issues that are based on the numbers and data, not emotions. The first thing I will do is address this foreign control of rural Oregon by creating legislation that protects the primary and sovereign rights of Oregonians. Oregonian’s have the right to work, the right for that work to be profitable, and for that profit not to be stolen and

misdirected. Rural Oregon is struggling because they haven’t had skilled, hard working, or mature representation. What would you like to accomplish if elected? When elected I will work hard to represent working Oregon for the first time with solutions based on real economics. We will no longer have a system that serves the elite agenda. How should the state address the current COVID-19/economic crisis? Since Oregonians are being forced to stay home it is crucial that they have access to State Unemployment Reserves. It is my opinion that the current

application process is intentionally complicated to keep Oregonains from being able to receive the reserves that they have the right to access. I’ve spoken to many constituents who say they waited over 3 months in many cases to receive their pay and had been unable to cover rent or utilities. It is unconscionable for the State bureaucrats to break Rural Oregonians in this way, while simultaneously forcing mandates restricting us from working. The process for accessing these reserves should be simple, straightforward, transparent, and timely, because people’s homes and families are at stake.

What do you feel the relationship should be between state representatives and the public? State representatives should have at least visited the towns and areas of the public that they represent. During my time as a Registered Nurse I have worked in nearly every hospital in Oregon, I grew up on the coast, and have lived in Southwestern Oregon my entire life. I believe that elected officials should act in the best interest of the public that they serve, not corporate interest. Most importantly State Representatives should have to prove their worth to the public by the results that they produce, that is leadership.

policy and regulation have stifled innovation and success in our state. It starts in our school systems and moves all the way up through to our business community. How would you try to address those issues? 1. I want to help improve K-12 education system education outcomes. We need to give parents the full choice to choose where their tax dollars go to educate their children. The government should never be able to monopolize the tax dollars we as citizens send to Salem for educating our own children. Regardless of what kind of school a parent wants to send their child to, I fundamentally believe the money should follow the child. If we want great results in educating our children, competition for those dollars is the number one quickest and best way to achieve those results. 2. Decrease barriers to entry in regard to state and local regulations that create a wall for lower educated and lower income citizens who want to be self-employed and self-dependent. Small business is the backbone of freedom for the middle class and the hope for the rising lower income class! It must be promoted!

3. Promote policies that increase the success of current and future small business owners and the employees who work for them while reducing the influence of big public labor unions and big business in the state capital. We have a real problem with corrupt legislation that would have never seen the light of day if it were not for the overwhelming influence big labor and big outof-state corporate business has on our political leaders. Big money from any source corrupts and seeks to destroy the freedom and opportunity of their smaller competition in any arena through the fist of government. They must be exposed and stopped if the middle class and freedom for that matter is to survive. What would you like to accomplish if re-elected? Other than the ways previously mentioned, I want to revitalize and diversify our local economy. We should not have to suffer with the insecurity and instability that economically often follows turmoil in our more urban areas of the state. We have the people, we have the resources, and we have the drive to take care of ourselves and our communities! Promoting policy and

law that gives us back that freedom and stability is a top priority for me! How should the state address the current COVID-19/economic crisis? COVID-19 is a serious issue, but I fear the politics and those seeking personal gain may have created an even bigger problem. In doing so, people have paid a dear price and lost freedoms that never should

have been required. We need to address this problem without the interference of politics! We need to focus on the people, and right now our people are hurting. This “one-size fits all” approach taken by the leadership of this state does not work. What do you feel the relationship should be between state elected representatives and the public? I love my

community and view myself as their servant. I never stop working for them. Their future success is my sole focus whether I am working in Salem or elsewhere. I love freedom and liberty and have a passion to protect and grow that freedom for all the citizens of Southwest Oregon. If a citizen’s rights are being infringed upon, I am their advocate no matter who they are.

Election 2020: Curry County Clerk A8 | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2020

Emma DeRock Age: 30 Years in the area: Permanent resident for the last 4 years, with family ties in the community going back decades. Occupation: Outreach Office Manager, Bay Area Enterprises Past political/civic experience: I currently work for a local non-profit that helps persons with disabilities find and maintain meaningful employment. Previously I worked for the Oregon Department of Human Services-Aging and People with Disabilities to create the Transition/Diversion Program in Curry County serving our most at-risk seniors. I served as the elected Chair for SEIU 503 representing Coos and Curry Counties, not only did I represent local DHS staff, I was also elected to the bargaining team for the Statewide contract that covers all represented staff working in the state of Oregon. What inspired you to run? I was elected to a position that afforded me the opportunity to travel to Salem and advocate for the needs of rural state employees. During that time, it became clear to me to make a true impact in my community I would need to focus on a more localized level. Although I was not charged with representing County Employees, I was made aware of issues within the county that were unaddressed. Curry County is not dissimilar from our Federal Government in that it has many elected officials that have governed unopposed for decades. I believe that everyone deserves a choice in representation so I decided to run, if for no other reason to give the citizens of Curry an option. I am dismayed by the lack of candidate choices presented on the ballot. I have actively tried to find solutions and the only solution I had was to add my name is a small attempt to provide a choice. I believe that as an honorable and transparent Clerk I would be an asset to the county elected team. I am inspired by the generations of amazing women who came before me that knew we needed to have a voice. This year commemorates the 100year anniversary of the passage of the nineteenth amendment, which guaranteed the right of women to vote. It is in honor of the women that came before me to not only exercise my right to vote, but to run for the office that is entrusted with coordinating and conducting elections

throughout the county in an effort to provide that choice I would like to see in governance. What do you feel are the most important issues facing the county? Curry County has experienced multiple devastating economic events in the last few years from the Chetco Bar Fire, to the 101 washout, and now COVID. We cannot survive as a tourist economy when tourism can be heavily impacted at any time. We need to recruit for different revenue streams and economic sustainability while diversifying the county to be less reliant on inconsistent revenue sources. As a Gerontologist I have concerns that we have hindered our citizens in ease of access to changing policy and procedure enacted at the state and federal level. Partnership between county departments is critical for our citizens. I would like to see fruitful collaboration with departments like Assessor, Board of Commissioners, Community Development and the State to cultivate a program where building and sustaining a livelihood isn’t a bared by inefficient processes. Like many counties we face a housing shortage that disproportionately affects our workforce and creates barriers to recruiting and retaining a solid workforce capable of providing the services we need. I believe it is imperative that we use all our resources collaboratively to create a sustainable future for the county. How would you try to address those issues? Many issues facing our county cannot be solved by one person, rather I believe we need to work towards collaborative efforts that engage many community partnerships working towards common goals. I have been a part of the housing task force for some time. It is a great example of a collaboration of many people coming together to find solutions to a common problem. I have developed and implemented two different programs in the community and have learned from those experiences that buy-in from the community is a requirement to success. As I networked throughout the County, I often found visitors voicing frustrations with wanting to marry and bring family in for the celebration, only to be denied resource from the Clerk’s office. Working with Economic Development and county partners, I would help build a sustainable event program that would bring significant visitor dollars while allowing others to share in the beauty that we get to call home. Implementing changes can be a costly process as the Clerk’s office is already heavily reliant on the general fund, I will use my background in grant writing to seek

out opportunities to help develop more accessible programs without burdening the taxpayers in the process. What would you like to accomplish if elected? I would like to see greater transparency in budgets and services provided, understanding staff needs for adequate supportive training services, improve upon employee retention and building capacity in the effort to more efficiently budget for a department that is not self-sustained. I would support implementing technology programs that would give citizens easier and efficient access to data. I would support outreach to the community to assist in understanding the ORSs and what they can expect from an elected official. I would pursue grant funding that would reduce the Clerk’s office dependency on the general fund and help explore ways to capitalize on the possibilities of revenue generation within the office. I would like to see greater transparency with the public; elections are a time to pay attention. Elected officials should be held accountable for providing updated and accurate information in a timely manner. I would be more active with the citizens in making sure they know what is going on throughout the elections process. The people elect officials to lead; any good leader knows that the mark of success is measured by the ability to ensure everyone they represent is equally accounted for. What do you feel the relationship should be between county departments and the public? The relationship should be that of trust and engagement in the decision-making process. The public should expect that an elected official will represent their needs while maintaining compliance of law. County departments should have a countywide plan for transparency in communicating changes that affect the public. This really should start at the top with the Board of Commissioners and Elected setting a precedence and example for department heads and in turn, other jurisdictions. The public expects government on every level to work together, collaborate, and streamline for efficiencies, cost saving measures, and planning for the future based on data and research. Government is established to work for the people and should make every possible effort to represent the needs of the collective. Individual departments are created to specialize in their given duties and find the most prudent and fiscally responsible ways to serve the public. Together they should ensure a cohesive and sustainable future for the county.

Reneè Kolen Age: 58 Years in the area: 37 Occupation: Curry County Clerk since 1992 Past political/civic experience: Political:Elected Curry County Clerk 1992-present; Past President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, member Recording/Elections Legislative Committees Oregon Association of County Clerks; Certified County Clerk, Chief Deputy County Clerk, Elections Coordinator. Civic: Director, Board of Directors Gold Beach Main Street; Member Friends of Curry Public Library, Soroptimist, League of Women Voters. What inspired you to run? When I first decided to run for Curry County Clerk in 1992 it was because I wanted to make a difference. The current County Clerk was retiring and I was the Elections Coordinator in the Elections Department so the time felt right for me to step up and run for public office. I continue to run because I am a proud public servant, we have built an excellent team, and we are passionate about what we do. What do you feel are the most important issues facing the county?

and Marriage Licenses. These mandated services are extremely important to our citizens. The important issue is keeping these services modernized, viable and free from outside influences to meet the needs of the public. How would you try to address those issues? When I first started in the county elections office, elections were conducted at the polling place and ballots were counted by hand. By 1988 we moved to automate the counting process and we conducted our first election using optical scanned ballots in September 1989. About that same time, County Clerks were finding that half of the voters were going to polls and others were voting absentee. We were conducting a “polling place” and a “vote by mail” election at the same time, which was extremely challenging and expensive. In 1998 the people placed the vote by mail issue on the ballot and it passed statewide with 70 percent in favor. Vote by mail has dramatically increased voter participation. In 2005 I participated on the steering committee to help implement Oregon’s Statewide Voter Registration System. In 2008 Curry and Yamhill Counties were first in the state to upgrade to a digital tabulation system. In 2016 Oregon’s Motor Voter Bill was implemented and Curry County’s voter registration climbed from approximately 14,000 to over 18,000. We have also conducted many separate conversions to modernize and update the Recording Department’s Computer Systems which also makes it easier for the public to use since 1992. Additionally we are digitizing the County Clerk

Historical Land records from 1856 to 1960. The next conversion phase will digitize the microfilm records from 1960 through 1992. County Clerks Records from 1992 to present have already been digitized. We have implemented the “Digital Research Room” for Citizens who want to look up indexes to the land records “online.” E-recording was successfully launched in 2017 and we are now recording about as many electronic recording instruments as we do paper instruments. We are close to deploying our new Marriage License Application to assist the public in applying for their marriage license “online.” What would you like to accomplish if elected? Our goal is to continue to monitor trends in modernizing the Elections and Recording functions and implement those trends that are right for the citizens of Curry County. We will continue to cross train our employees, keep them current and, as always, continue our efforts to provide effective and efficient public service with a smile. What do you feel the relationship should be between county departments and the public? As county officials we should always strive to be available to our citizens to listen, learn and remain open to changes in our citizen’s attitudes. We need to remember that we are here to serve and to provide proven, experienced and trusted public services. I am pleased to report the in a 2015 public survey, the Curry County Clerk’s office received the highest approval rating of all county departments for services provided.

Election 2020: Curry County Treasurer CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Terry C. Hanscam Age: 74 Years in the area: All my life except for college

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2020 | A9

and 4 years in the U.S. Navy. Graduate of Brookings-Harbor High School. Occupation: Semi-Retired Building Contractor, property manager. Past political/civic experience: Appointed to the Curry County Budget Committee in 1979, served from 1979 until 1992, served on Curry County Board of Equalization, 1979 until 1992, appointed Curry County Commissioner in 1992, Elected Curry County Commis-

sioner. served from 1993 to 1997, Southern Oregon and Northern California representative to For The Sake of The Salmon, served on the Curry County Budget Committee several times from 2000 to 2012, Elected to Coos Curry Electric Board of Directors 1991, served until 2006, Chairman of the Board 2005-06, Serving on the South Coast Business Development Corporation Board of Directors, first appointed in 1992,

Currently Chairman of the Board. What inspired you to run: I have been involved with Curry County government for a long time. I believe I can bring a historical perspective to the position and help provide the best public service to the citizens of the County. What do you feel are the most important issues facing the county: Ever since the down turn of the timber industry in the 1980s, the County has been

working hard to provide services to our citizens. County government needs to be frugal with its limited resources, yet responsive to the needs of the citizens. How would try to address those issues: By closely monitoring the County budget expenditures to see that they stay in line with actual incomes. What would you like to accomplish if elected: Help the other elected officials, department heads and county employees to

continue to provide quality services to to the public given the limited county resources. What do you feel the relationship should be between County departments and the public: Relations with the public should be open and above board. The County needs to keep the public fully informed of what is happening with County government, its resources and programs available to our citizens.

Elizabeth Neketin Age: 50 Years in the area: I am a third generation Brookings resident. I would come to Brookings every summer growing up to stay with my grandmother, Peggy Poutre (Neketin). I moved to Brookings three times over the years. 1987, 1988 - 2001 and permanently in 2014. Occupation: Bookkeeper

Past political/civic experience: I have been on several PTA Boards as Treasurer (six years for three separate boards). I also did many other positions on these bards, including President, Auditor and Historian to name a few. What inspired you to run? I love our County and wanted to be able to give something back to our

community. This position is a good fit with my experience and I can devote my time to this job if elected. I feel that having someone with Accounting and Finance experience in this position, will really help Curry County. What do you feel are the most important issues facing the county? Right now COVID and getting everyone back to work.

The other main issue that I am seeing is the homeless, there needs to be a solution that works for everyone. How would you try to address those issues? Workshops and brainstorming ideas to take to the Board of Commissioners. What would you like to accomplish if elected? Investing our money for the future is really important.

If I win this election, I look forward to discussing ways to invest in Curry County’s future with the Board of Commissioners. What do you feel the relationship should be between county departments and the public? Communication is key! We must have proper communication and discussions in order to move forward into our future.

“Over the past few weeks we’ve seen a steady rise of COVID-19 cases in Oregon,” OHA Deputy State Health Officer Thomas Jeanne said. “When a virus is in a community, we know it will spread if people don’t take precautions. This increase in cases has reversed the progress we made in late summer.” The study illuminated the patterns and behaviors of individuals around the state and gives the OHA a baseline to move forward with public health messaging to encourage residents to stay safe. “We did find that Ore-

gonians are avoiding large group gatherings, somewhat,” said Michelle Neiss, president of DHM Research, the company that conducted one of the surveys. The results of the DHM survey, which sampled 1,009 residents, indicated that 20% of Oregonians attended a gathering of 10 people or more in the two weeks prior to responding. “Those are the kinds of events that are high risk and can further community spread which brings the virus into workplaces, nursing homes and make people sick,” OHA Direc-

tor of Communications Rob Cowie said. Overall, the survey found that people who gather together frequently are the ones who are more skeptical that protective measures help, Neiss said. For example, 52% of respondents who answered that they are unlikely to quarantine if they contract the virus also answered that they do not believe it is necessary. A separate survey focused on Latinx Oregonians by Lara Media found that 69.4% of the 468 respondents said they were

very likely to stay home if they experienced any COVID-19 symptoms or were exposed to someone with the virus. Of those who answered they would not stay home, 42.9% said they would not stay home because they are the only one in their household who works and they need to support their family. “Keep in mind most of the people we interview are essential workers, which puts them in a higher risk of getting the virus,” said Victoria Lara, owner of Lara Media. Of Latinx residents between the ages of 18-24, about seven out of 10 stat-

ed they were very worried about friends and family getting the virus more so than themselves. About four in 10 respondents to the DHM survey said they would definitely get the vaccine if it becomes available, and about three in 10 of respondents to the Lara Media survey said they would definitely get the vaccine. The important thing to focus on is continuing to take personal protective measures, Cowie said. “Even when vaccine comes, it will not be a silver bullet,” Cowie said. “We will all need to engage in these behaviors for a while.”

will direct you to get onto your computer and enter a web address into the web browser so you can fill out the service/cancelation contract. The issue is, once you enter the web address you are provided and hit the “enter” button, your computer is connected to THE SCAMMER’S network and they now have full access to YOUR computer. That includes all programs, pictures, files, emails, contact lists, Facebook, etc. Even if you don’t have your banking information on your device, they will harvest all the information they can from it. This can lead to further attacks and potential scam attacks on your family and friends as well. If you get a call like this, there are a few steps you should take: #1 Hang up. Don’t call them back on the number they gave you. Do not enter any websites into your

computer, phone or tablet at their direction. #2 Check your credit card account. If you see a charge you don’t recognize, file a dispute with your credit card company immediately. #3 Notify local law enforcement. The people perpetrating these scams are from overseas more often than not and out of reach for local law enforcement. However, should you suffer a financial loss, your banking institution/credit card company is going to want to know it was reported. Finally, these are only two of the most current scams people are actually falling victim to on a daily basis. The people perpetrating these scams have nothing better to do than to figure out new ways to separate you from your money and there are endless phone, email and check cashing scams out there. Always be suspicious of unsolicited emails

or text messages; delete them without opening them if you can. If it seems too good to be true, it is. You should never have to pay money to get money. And no one is going to pay you $8,000 a month to drive around with a Dr. Pepper sticker on your car. Should you feel the need to contact the company they are reporting themselves to be, you can locate the company’s contact information on their actual website to include a contact phone number. You can also call 411 and ask directory assistance for the company’s information.

Oregon Health Authority surveys residents on pandemic attitudes MONIQUE MERRILL Country Media

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has a glimpse into Oregonians’ actions and attitudes relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. In two statewide surveys commissioned by the OHA, the results show a majority of Oregonians’ are taking steps to limit the spread of COVID-19, but some are still wary of the efficacy of personal protective measures as case counts across the state continue to trend upward.

Sheriff’s Office urges caution about scams DETECTIVE J FREEMAN,

Curry County Sheriff’s Office

Phone and internet scammers are back at it. They love to use the same old tricks in new ways. One of their favorites is to pose as a business or government official to pressure you into sending them money or personal information. Now, some scammers are pretending to be popular online shopping websites, phishing for your personal information. Phishing, pronounced “fishing” is the fraudulent practice of sending emails or making phone calls purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers. For example, you get a call from someone who claims to be with “Amazon.com.” (Spoiler: they’re not from Amazon.) The person will say that your credit card has been charged a large amount of money for an order. Then, they’ll give you the “Amazon Support” phone number and tell you to immediately call if you didn’t make that purchase. If this seems suspicious, that’s because it is. Scammers want you to call the number they give so they can ask for your passwords, credit card number, and other sensitive information to get your money. Another version of the same scam is to call and “alert you” that your card has been charged $40.00 or $50.00 to open an Amazon Prime account. The person on the phone will ask you if you want to continue service with Amazon or cancel it. Regardless of your choice, the person

CCH supports schools LINDA PINKHAM The Pilot

Covid-19 has created many challenges for local schools, students, and families. To cover some of those challenges, Curry Community Health (CCH) presented $3,000 on Sept. 24 to Superintendent David Marshall for the Brookings-Harbor School District (BHSD) to purchase 10 Chromebooks or other electronic devices to support distance learning. “While we understand that this donation will not meet all of the needs of the students in South County, it’s a great start,” said Nancy Sorensen, AR specialist Curry Community Health. “It is our hope that other organizations in the local community will find ways to support our schools and students through these difficult times.”

Herzog Continued From Page A1

How would you try to address those issues? I need to put on my learning cap. I’ll start by looking closely at the budget after getting plugged in as a county commissioner. I’ll show up every day and work hard. The only options to solve financial problems are to either cut costs or increase revenues. I will look for ways to save money in the budget, and also find ways to raise funding. I think the county parks need to be utilized better. Even with COVID, you can’t get into RV parks. I think there’s an opportunity with county parks. What would you like to accomplish if elected? A unified Board of Commissioners would be an accomplishment, a unified county. I’ll do my best

Linda Pinkham, The Pilot

Left to right) April Ireland and Nancy Sorensen from CCH presented a $3,000 check to David Marshall, Superintendent for the Brookings-Harbor School District. “We really appreciate the support,” Marshall said. “The needs continue to be discovered so this will definitely help.” Marshall noted that sometimes students need to use software that won’t run on a Chromebook, so this allows the district the “flexibility to meet those specific needs, such as a regular laptop, which will give better access to their

instruction.” On Aug. 26 CCH donated 10 Dell Laptops to the Central Curry School District to support distance learning. CCH also met with the Port Orford/ Langlois School District to present a check for $3,000 to purchase 10 Chromebooks that will support distance learning for the school and students in North County.

to be a peaceful problem solver. My mom always used to say, there’s no excuse for bad manners. How should the county address the current COVID-19/economic crisis? We have to follow all the guidelines that are set for the State. That said, we don’t hear enough of the positive news when people recover from the disease, amongst all the bad news. Things are going to get better because eventually we’ll have a vaccine that is safe and effective. What do you feel the relationship should be between the county and the public? I think it should be better than what it is right now. It goes along with bringing unity to the board. The county should be open and accessible to people, and respectful. I can’t stand the disrespect. They say the pledge of alle-

giance before every meeting. I stand for the pledge and kneel for the cross, but it would be hard to say that pledge, then start whacking at each other with our tongues. I believe in being quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. We need to have some respect—right, wrong or indifferent. I’m not perfect in any way, but when I’ve blown it, I’ve always come back and apologized publicly and in person. When something’s been said, you have to rectify it.

Currently, 70 percent of this revenue goes towards tourism promotion, 25 percent goes to the Sheriff’s Department and 5 percent goes for administration. I was tasked by the Board of Commissioners with doing research on a possible consumption tax. I feel very strongly that any consumption tax should include taxes on nonessential items and no tax on essential items that individuals purchase. We have many visitors coming to our area and they currently do not help in paying for the essential services that are needed in our County such as road maintenance and law enforcement services that include search and rescue needs. We will have to look “outside the box” for solutions because, in my opinion, raising property taxes should not be a successful option. I feel that one of the best solutions would be to stimulate the economy in Curry County in a responsible and thoughtful way. Our County is one of the most beautiful places in the world and many people from all over the world come to enjoy this beauty. One way to capitalize on this would be to encourage and expand the eco-tourism industry here. b. Curry County has a lot of properties that are “eye sores” and in need of major cleanup and repair. We hired a code enforcement officer and an assistant code officer to help with this endeavor.

Our Code Enforcement Department currently has over 1,400 closed or pending cases. It is important that we keep our County safe, clean, and a place where property values will not be diminished by blighted properties that are nearby. There have been abandoned RVs filled with garbage on County roads and the County has been responsible for taking these vehicles to the dump. I was able to negotiate a 20 percent discount from CTR to help defray some of the cost to the County. The County has saved thousands of dollars as a result. c. Affordable, accessible and quality health care is needed in Curry County. We have many individuals leave our County each year because they are unable to get the services they need. I advocated for a satellite critical access hospital for south Curry County because I felt that it was the best option. I also led the charge in Curry County against Sutter Coast Hospital’s exorbitant emergency room charges because their provider did not accept out-of-network insurance rates of pay. As a result patients now going to the Emergency Room at Sutter Coast Hospital pay far less. What would you like to accomplish if elected? There are several things that I would like to accomplish if elected: a. I would like to continue working on more stable sources of revenue for the County. b. As the liaison to the County Parks Department, I would like to see our County Parks expand and improve so that more tourists visit our County and help our economy grow

as a result. It is important to note that our Parks Department is currently self-funding. c. I would continue to look at the best ways to implement more efficient and cost-effective uses of the County’s resources. This would include: (1) getting our property tax assessments up-todate (we are currently 18 years behind and only 6 years of back taxes can be collected); (2) getting all homes in the County properly permitted so that their property taxes are accurately assessed; (3) use up-to-date software in the various departments so that those departments can be more efficient; (4) make sure that replacement costs for equipment are included in the budget so that costly “surprises” can be avoided; and (5) use the newly-implemented strategic plan for the County as our “road map” in making decisions. How should the County address the current COVID-19/economic crisis? This is a very difficult issue for the County on two fronts: (1) it is difficult because we have a population that is at higher risk of being infected with COVID-19. Our Public Health Administrator, Sherrie Ward, is working very closely with OHA and other entities to make sure that all cases are traced and reported in the proper manner. We are implementing the guidelines that have been enacted by the Governor’s office such as mask requirements and social distancing; and (2) many of the businesses in this County have suffered because of the measures that were taken to slow the spread of COVID-19.

The County’s economic development department has been reaching out to the small businesses in our County to give them information about low-interest loans that are available during this crisis and making sure that they have the necessary guidelines and equipment (masks) to open their businesses safely. What do you feel the relationship should be between the County and the public? Commissioners represent the citizens of Curry County and it is important that they listen to the public and make decisions that are in the best interest of all of the citizens in this County. I think it is VERY important to study all of the pertinent facts about the issues coming before the Board of Commissioners before each meeting, listening to all public comment regarding the issues, and then voting on the issue based on what I feel is in the best interest of residents of our County. I realize that everyone will not always agree with my decisions but the people can be assured that I will always treat all individuals equally under the existing laws and I will be true to my oath to follow the Constitutions of the United States and Oregon. It is important that County government is transparent. The County is in the process of instituting new software that will allow more public access to financial and other pertinent information. I have not taken donations for my campaign so none of my decisions will be influenced by special interest groups or individuals.

IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER On 11/12/2020 at 11:00 AM, CLEAR RECON CORP, as duly appointed trustee under and pursuant to Deed of Trust recorded 1/4/2007 as Instrument No. 20070094 of Official Records in the office of the County Recorder of Del Norte County, State of CALIFORNIA executed by: ERNEST B CAPSHAW, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO HIGHEST BIDDER FOR CASH, 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 FINANCIAL CODE AND AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THIS STATE: At the Steps of the Southwest Entrance of the Flynn Administration Building, 981 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531 all right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said Deed of Trust in the property situated in said County and State described as: MORE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST. The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 480 AMADOR STREET 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 held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust.

The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. 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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 088054-CA. 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.

There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his pro rata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders, except the Secretary, must submit a deposit totaling ten percent (10%) of the Secretary’s estimated bid amount in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Ten percent of the estimated bid amount for this sale is $12,790.87. A deposit need not accompany each oral bid. If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $12,790.87 must be presented before the bidding is closed. The deposit is nonrefundable. The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence. This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check. if the Secretary is the highest bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash. The successful bidder will pay all conveying fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery date of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title. At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment. All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of: $500.00, paid in advance. The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary. If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the Foreclosure Commissioner after consultation with the HUD representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure. The Commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD representative, offer the property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant to the Act. Therefore, the Foreclosure Commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein. HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The scheduled foreclosure sale shall be cancelled or adjourned if it is established, by documented written application or otherwise, that the default or defaults upon which the foreclosure is based did not exist at the time of service of this Notice of Default and Foreclosure Sale, or all amounts due under the mortgage agreement are tendered to the Foreclosure Commissioner, in the form of a certified or cashier’s check payable to the Secretary, before public auction of the property is completed. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage Deed of Trust is to be reinstated prior-to the scheduled sale is based on the nature of the breach, this loan is not subject to reinstatement. A total payoff is required to cancel the foreclosure sale, or the breach must otherwise be cured, if applicable. A description of the default is as follows: FAILURE TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE WHICH BECAME ALL DUE AND PAYABLE BASED UPON THE DEATH OF ALL MORTGAGORS AND THE PROPERTY IS NOT THE PRINCIPAL RESIDENCE OF AT LEAST ONE SURVIVING BORROWER. Tender of payment by certified or cashier’s check or application for cancellation of the foreclosure sale shall be submitted to the address of the Foreclosure Commissioner provided below.

FAMILY FRIEND FEARS YOUNG WOMAN IS ADDICTED TO METH

DEAR ABBY: The 22-yearold daughter of close friends of ours has been living in a van during the pandemic. Her parents, my husband and I heard her on her cellphone talking about a party where her friends were doing meth. No one reacted except me. I said, “That’s terrifying!” and she answered, “Right?” I cannot stop worrying about this young woman, who I have watched grow since she was a baby. The red spots on her face, which I had assumed were from acne, now haunt me. What can I do? I had offered her the use of our driveway, if needed, but I don’t want meth users here because I have two college-age sons, so now I regret even that. I feel since she broached the topic she

was asking for help. Her mom let it completely slide. Help! -- SICK WITH WORRY IN COLORADO DEAR SICK: The baby you watched grow up is now an adult. If you think she was asking for help because she is addicted to methamphetamine, talk to her and offer to help her get it. IF she says she wants to move her van to your property, explain that as long as she is using and/or partying with contemporaries who do, the offer is off the table. As to her parents who, from what you wrote, appear to be clue-

less, tell them you are alarmed and why, and urge them to go online and educate themselves about the symptoms of meth addiction, which include facial sores. *** DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful husband. He is very outgoing, and I would like to think of myself as the same, but I work hard. He always makes plans for the weekends, but sometimes I just want to stay home, relax and get the house in order. The problem is, he insists we go and do something like day or overnight trips hours away every weekend. I encourage him to go visit our friends because I know I can trust him, and I need some alone time! Am I wrong for that? -- PEACEFUL AND STILL DEAR PEACEFUL: You are not wrong. You are as entitled to your feelings as your husband is

DEL NORTE TRIPLICATE & CURRY COASTAL PILOT

to his. Things should not always have to be his way. The two of you need to work out a compromise. (Compromise is the secret ingredient in happy marriages.) If he feels the need to get away and it doesn’t bother you because you trust him, you should be entitled to time at home to get the place -- and your head -- straight. *** DEAR ABBY: I am my husband’s second wife. His first wife died of cancer eight years ago. His late wife’s mother still calls him her son-in-law and introduces him as such. She also asks him to help her with things around the house, like getting mulch and remodeling the bath. She invites all of us over to holidays, but I can’t help but feel awkward. Am I overreacting? Shouldn’t she find someone else to help her now that bond is broken? -- IN

THE PRESENT IN INDIANA DEAR IN THE PRESENT: If the bond were broken, your husband’s former mother-in-law would find someone else, and your husband would help her to do it. He may still feel like a member of that family. Please be smart and less defensive. The woman is making an effort to include you in her celebrations. Accept the gesture for what it is and be gracious. *** Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
