Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) has updated some visitor fees at select parks as part of a

As of October 1st, Oregon State Parks will no longer waive the parking fee at twenty-one additional day-use parks. The parking fee is currently $10 for in-state visitors and $12 out-ofstate visitors.

The parking fee does not apply to visitors who walk, bike, use public transportation, have a valid hangtag from camping at an Oregon State Park or a twelve or twenty-four-month parking permit. Currently, OPRD charges for parking at twenty-five parks and waives parking fees at over two-hundred twenty-five parks across the state.

The twenty-one additional parks include some of the busiest parks in the system such as Harris Beach State Park, which experienced an estimated two million day-use visits last year. Visitor fees help pay for maintenance and operation.

Some overnight camping rates will also see updates for visits beginning May 1, 2026:

• Overnight rates at our twenty-nine busiest parks will increase to the top of the current rate range from May 1st through September 30th. This increase will apply year round on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights (Top rate is $29 for tents and $52 for full hook-up RV).

• At all parks:

• Cabin and yurt prices will increase to the top of the rate range year round. (Top rates vary from $72 for rustic yurts to $129

Freak Show:

27,000

Once again, you are invited to experience the biggest spine-chilling haunted house on the entire Oregon coast.

Journey if you dare, through an inhuman concourse of rat men, lizard boys, mutated pinheads, strong men and bearded ladies, cackling clowns, Siamese twins, bone cracking contortionists, hideous acrobats, misfortune tellers, reckless knife throwers and a boy with the face of a dog?

Deranged barkers will entice you into a petrifying pavilion of gory games amidst the maze of the big top frenzy. Smell the rotten cotton candy, the stinking sawdust and the stench of beasts bound riled in their cages.

Those few who survive such a demented tour of freakish depravity will receive tasty Trick or Treats, soft drinks and helpings of Claire's infamous “Black Circus Chili” in the retreat of her “Nightbreak Beastro" at the end of the terrifying tent of doom. There, you are welcome to recover until your wobbling remains are able to walk once again.

Once again, in conjunction with the Chetco Pelican Players Community Theater, this deranged monstrosity of the unknown and the unexplainable is presented by the Hellish Hippo-

square feet of sheer marquee madness

Curtis Hamilton “Curt” Fox

March 28, 1944 - June 25, 2025

Curtis Hamilton “Curt” Fox was born March 28, 1944, in McNary, Arizona to Comer Philip and Mary Belle (Anderson-Fast) Fox. He grew up in Oregon, and graduated from High School in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho in 1962; he then attended Prairie Bible School in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada, graduating in 1969.

He met his future wife, Mary Sandison, while visiting his parents and younger brother in Redding, California, during a summer break from Bible School. They were married on June 7, 1969, at Redding, and recently celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary.

Curt followed a number of occupations over his lifetime: logger, millworker, minister, truck driver, retail sales and law enforcement.

He was ordained as a minister in 1972, and pastored churches in Happy Camp, California and Manning, Oregon. He retired from the Brookings Police Department in 2002, after 20 years of service, including time as a Student Resource Officer. His passion in life was encouraging others, especially working with at-risk youth and adults, helping them through difficult times. He said he wasn’t a “Law Enforcement Officer”, but a “Peace Officer” – helping others find peace in their lives. His last ‘avocation’ was cooking meals for Awana’s at First Baptist Community Church of Brookings, and for shut-ins. He passed away June 25, 2025, following a 2-year battle with cancer. Curt is survived by his wife, Mary; two sons, Nathan (Melanie) and their

children Elyse and James; John (Brittany) and their children Ethan and Charlotte. Also, sisters-in-law

Anna Fox and Joyce Fox; nieces Tami Fox, Holly Fox, Cassia (Adam) Peeler and nephew Samuel (Katie) Fox --- plus numerous great-nieces and nephews and their families across Oregon and Washington. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers John Harmon (Fast) Fox and Philip Warren Fox and nephews Terry and Tracy Fox. Interment will be with his mother and brothers in Sutherlin, Oregon.

A Celebration of Curt’s Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Grace Bible Church, 302 North Hazel Street, Brookings. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in Curt’s memory be made to the Awana Program at First Baptist Community Church, P.O. Box 4159, Brookings, OR 97415, or to Gideons International, P.O. Box 2674, Brookings, OR 97415. There will be a time of fellowship and story-telling downstairs after the service.

Archie D LeCoque

07/30/1932-09/21/2025

Gone but never forgotten. It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Archie D. LeCoque.

Archie was the beloved father to Steve LeCoque, Shawn LeCoque and Danielle LeCoque; and, with his marriage to Paulie R. LeCoque (preceded Archie with her passing) a treasured stepfather to Ken Wood, Kevin Wood, and Steve Wood. Archie was blessed with 23 Grandchildren, 10 Great-Grandchildren; and 1 Great-Great-Grandchild.

Archie was a professional musician for 60+ years of his life, most of that being in Las Vegas, NV. He retired

to live in Brookings, OR in 1996. Archie enjoyed participating in several local Jazz ensembles, as well as volunteering as a music tutor in local Brookings schools for several years. Archie was a Veteran of the Korean War, as well as a steadfast advocate for wilderness and animal conservation. Most of all, Archie was a humorous, talented, sassy fellow who always strived to make everyone he met feel like part of his family. Those enriched by Archie's presence will not soon forget his creative spirit, whimsical wit, and compassionate heart.

Per Archie’s wishes there

Marlin (Russ) Montgomery

May 8, 1946 - May 12, 2025

Russ Montgomery, affectionately known to many as Rusty, Papa, or “Doc”, passed away unexpectedly on May 12, 2025, just four days after his 79th birthday. As a loving husband, father, and "Papa," his passing leaves a deep void in the hearts of all who knew him. Yet, his unconditional love and deep devotion to others will endure. For Russ, family and friends always came first. He always made others feel seen, valued, and heard.

Born on May 8, 1946, Russ moved to Sonoma in his early high school years. It was at Sonoma Valley High School in 1961 that he met Joan Lennon, who became his life partner. They married in 1964 and celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in 2024. Russ worked as a butcher at Safeway, while attending Sonoma State University before graduating from the University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry in San Francisco.

Following graduation, Russ and Joan moved to Brookings, Oregon, where Russ opened his dental practice. For 36 years, he dedicated himself to his practice, impacting countless lives through his compassionate and expert care. Russ was also a dedicated community servant. He gave his time by serving on the school board and as a board member and Chairman for the Sutter Coast Hospital Board of Trustees. He also provided numerous outreach support efforts to

offer essential dental care for those in need. Upon retirement, Russ served as Medical Director for Oral Health at AllCare.

More than a healer and "smile maker," Russ was a fixer of things. An avid runner and bike rider, he completed a marathon at age 55 and continued to enjoy running and long walks. He even convinced his sons to ride their bikes from Brookings to Sonoma—not once, but three times! Russ cherished family getaways at their Sunriver house, where they enjoyed biking, rafting, golfing, and late nights out on the deck. The 4th of July celebrations at the beach house—filled with family, fireworks, and non-stop fun—were always "epic."

After retiring in 2014, Russ and Joan returned to their roots in Sonoma, settling into Joan’s family home. This new chapter brought immense joy, creating a central hub for countless laughter-filled family gatherings. A true master gardener, his talents are on full display at the 4th Street house. He continued to volunteer in the community, spending many hours with his nephew, Marty Herrick, supporting the Field of Dreams.

Russ’s greatest joy was being Papa to his grandchildren. He embraced the role with an open heart, always prioritizing quality time and enthusiastically supporting their many pursuits. Russ’s greatest gift was the precious

time he gave—fully present—during special outings, teaching life lessons and offering boundless encouragement. Papa was always their biggest fan. Beyond cherished family time, Russ and Joan loved hitting the open road, traveling in their Airstream, which they considered their true home away from home. Russ will be remembered not only for his professional dedication and unwavering principles but also for his warmth, kindness, signature humor, and unconditional love for all. He possessed a rare ability to connect with people and make them feel instantly at ease. He is survived by his wife, Joan; their two sons: Matt (and wife Connie) and Mitch (and wife Shelly) and seven grandchildren: Kyle (and wife Michele), Kelly Montgomery (and husband Alex Moffit), Mason (and wife Jenna), Max (and wife

Jessica), Myles, Mary, and Meah; and his brother John Montgomery. He is also survived by his brother-in-law Ron Lennon (and wife Michelle) and sister-in-law Lynn Chevalier. His nephews are Ron Lennon (and wife Carrie and family), Peter Chevalier (and wife Jode and family), and John Paul Montgomery (and wife Kae). His nieces are Dominique Chevalier-Welsh (and husband Scott Welsh and family), Alicia Herrick (and husband Marty and family) and Aunt Francine Maffei. He was preceded in death by his father, John H. Montgomery; his mother, Jean Berry Montgomery; and his brothers: James, Richard, and Robert, as well as nephew Nicolas Chevalier, Uncle Bill Maffei, Brother-in-Law Peter

The fall bear eat-a-thon is on, ODFW warns

Now

according to a release from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW).

Driven by the need to eat, bears will take advantage of free food – garbage, pet food, bird seed, livestock and poultry feed. State wildlife biologists urge Oregon residents, vacation rental managers, and visitors to remove or secure those food sources. Bears that become used to “people food” can pose a serious safety risk to people and pets.

Oregon’s black bears are highly concentrated along the coast, in the Cascades, and in the Blue Mountains. Coastal residents and visitors need to be especially vigilant as bears are common even in more populated and highly visited seaside towns.

However, the obligation also falls on vacation rental managers and guests to contribute to responsible coexistence with bears, according to the ODFW, which strongly encourages property managers to provide bear-resistant trash cans and educate guests how to use those cans and give them BearWise tips to minimize the risk of bear encounters or issues.

Skyler Gerrity, an

ODFW Assistant Wildlife Biologist with years of experience working in coastal areas, says unsecured trash is one of the primary reasons bears are attracted to neighborhoods.

“Bears can smell food from miles away and home in on that source,” Gerrity said. “Leaving trash cans unsecured or accessible gives bears the opportunity to rummage through garbage, which can create a dangerous situation for people - and the bears too.”

Bears also have an incredible memory of where they have found food before – female bears pass this knowledge down to their young. Feeding bears, whether intentional or accidental, can have long-lasting negative effects on multiple generations of bears.

Most conflict between humans and bears is preventable, according to the ODFW.

“Bears don't want to be around humans, but the prospect of an easy meal is often too good to resist,” the release states.

The ODFW urges residents and property managers to remove items that attract bears to the area as the most important step to protect people and ensure bears stay healthy and wild.

Follow these tips to be BearWise:

• Never feed or approach bears. Feeding bears, whether you mean to or not, will cause them to associate humans with food. It is also against the law in Oregon (ORS 496.730).

• Secure food, garbage and recycling. Ensure trash, compost bins and dumpsters are secure by using locking or screw-on lids, metal bars over dumpsters, or fully enclosed trash storage. Take trash out immediately before pick-up, not the night before pickup.

• Remove bird feeders. Birds have plenty of naturally available food sources.

BE IN THE KNOW

• Feed pets inside and store food indoors. Pet food attracts bears and other wildlife, putting your pets and wildlife at risk.

• Clean and store grills after each use.

• Alert neighbors to unusual bear activity (continued sightings during daylight hours, lack of

wariness around humans or pets, etc.). Share these tips with your neighbors.

These simple yet effective steps will go a long way to avoid conflict and keep bears and people safe, the ODFW release states.

Contact your local district ODFW office if you need assistance with a bear-human conflict or observe unusual or aggressive behavior from a bear. Report human safety concerns to Oregon State Police. Learn more: https:// myodfw.com/articles/helpkeep-bears-wild

State Parks

From page 1 for deluxe cabins/yurts).

• Boat moorage fees will increase from $15 to $20.

• Overnight parking, overflow camping and primitive camping fees will increase from about $10 to at least $15 per night.

The park system faces a projected fourteen percent budget shortfall due to increasing costs, impacts from record visitation and a reduction in lottery funds for operations.

These targeted fee adjustments, along with internal efforts to reduce costs, modernize procurement and explore new revenue, will help maintain current service levels and ensure the system remains strong and accessible now and in the future.

“State parks are some of the most beloved spaces in Oregon, but we have struggled as a state to sustainably fund them. We’re

working to reimagine the future of Oregon State Parks as financially resilient system that will serve generations to come,” said Director Lisa Sumption.

State parks have three main sources of funding: a little less than half comes from constitutionally dedicated lottery funds, about fifteen percent comes from recreational vehicle license plate fees and roughly thirty-five percent comes from park fees from visitors. It is not funded by general fund taxes.

For visitors looking to save on parking, there are annual and twenty-fourmonth parking permits available for Oregon State Parks. The twelve-month parking permit costs $30 and the twenty-four-month permit costs $50. They can be purchased online.

Oregon State Parks is also collecting feedback to help guide its effort to reimagine a stronger resilient park system. The survey includes priorities for new and existing experiences, services and amenities as well as views on pub-

lic-private partnerships, sponsorships and other funding options.

Oregon’s earthquake preparedness

BY LINDA

Governor Tina Kotek has officially declared October 16th through the 19th as a critical time for statewide earthquake preparedness, urging all Oregonians to join a massive effort backed by two key initiatives: the Great Oregon ShakeOut and the Great Oregon Camp-In.

The proclamation emphasizes that "the safety and resilience of Oregonians depend on our collective understanding of how to prepare for earthquakes and other natural

disasters," calling practice drills essential for saving lives.

The efforts, led by the Oregon Department of Emergency Management (OEM), aim to cultivate a culture of preparedness.

The core of the preparedness push centers on International ShakeOut Day. Oregonians should know and practice the lifesaving action: "Drop, Cover and Hold On."

"The ShakeOut is more than a drill, it's a reminder that preparedness saves lives," said Erin McMahon, director of the Oregon Department of Emergency

Management. "By practicing together, we are less likely to panic in the moment; activities like the ShakeOut and Camp-in create a culture of resilience that strengthens our communities."

Decades of research and expert consensus confirm that this action remains the safest immediate response during an earthquake, particularly in older structures.

It’s noted that during earthquakes, the greatest risk comes from falling debris, collapsing ceilings and shattering glass. Being inside the building and attempting to evacuate during shaking exposes individuals to serious injury.

The best practice is to stay low and take cover under sturdy furniture, which offers the best protection until the shaking stops and safe evacuation can begin.

"Whether it’s cooking without power or talking through your emergency plan with loved ones, these activities help build confidence and readiness," said

is sponsored by the City of Brookings. Closing out the year, the residential winner was Peggy Rupert at 7180 Vista Ridge Drive. Her yard extended into

families to make the activities fun, suggesting a "supplies scavenger hunt" using the "Be 2 Weeks Ready" toolkit or building a living room fort for non-powered activities.

Use the Be 2 Weeks Ready toolkit to guide your activities and have a Camp-In checklist, which should include a complete your emergency plan.

Taking stock of your emergency supplies is important as well as knowing how to prepare meals using alternative cooking methods, like a camp stove.

While earthquakes are often associated with well-publicized areas like California, the risk covers a much larger area of the United States. Oregon sits at the nexus of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, making robust preparedness efforts vital.

Before an earthquake strikes, experts advise taking these essential steps:

• Mitigation: Bolt furni-

her backyard and it was her pride and joy. It was evident how much love and care she has for her yard. She mentioned she lost her husband, Mike Rupert, in January and credited him for much of the work. They moved into the home nine years ago and started from scratch. She noted that she studied garden design in college in Aspen. Rupert said the first thing to go in was the Princess flowers. Her favorites plants are those that are unique and

ture to walls and use safety latches on cabinet doors to prevent objects from falling.

• Insurance: Discuss coverage with your provider, specifically reviewing

extra expense and business interruption policies.

• Supplies: Assemble and store an emergency supply kit for a minimum of three days.

• Communication: Develop a communication plan that considers twoway radios or text messages as phone and cell towers may be down.

Even though the Great Oregon ShakeOut and the Great Oregon CampIn have passed this year, they’re good reminders that Oregonians should prepare for earthquakes in the eventuality that one should occur in the region. For more information visit: www.oregon.gov/ oem/hazardsprep/
