$100,000 grant

to fund Bud Cross Park improvements

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Bud Cross Park will see some major improvements thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). The project will add paved pathways, a new playground, a day-use picnic area and much needed shade trees.

“This is a big win for Brookings,” said City Manager Tim Rundel. “I’m grateful to our community for their input and to OPRD for recognizing the importance of this project.”

A recent community survey showed over ninety-four percent support for the proposed park upgrades. The park improvements reflect a strong partnership between the city, the community and state resources.

“Investing in Bud Cross Park

means investing in our community’s quality of life,” said Mayor Isaac Hodges. “This project will ensure the park remains a welcoming place for everyone to gather, play, and connect.”

The project goes beyond basic Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements by integrating inclusive playground features such as rubberized safety surfacing, sensory elements and an adult/child face-to-face swing, creating opportunities for children of all abilities to play together.

“These upgrades, from the new playground and picnic area to the accessible pathways, reflect what our residents told us they wanted,” said Hodges.

Brookings-Harbor High School Principal Resigns

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

A social media shake up could possibly be the reason that Brookings-Harbor High School Principal Tristin Harkins resigned on September 17th after two online posts by his wife, Amber Harkins, went somewhat viral causing chaos for the school district and concern within the community.

Although no official reason was given for the principal’s resignation, the timeline aligns with the aftereffects of the incident that has shook this nation and reminded us that social media

can be a detriment to a person’s well-being.

It’s not clear when, but sometime after the assignation of Charlie Kirk, who was labeled as a conservative political activist, Amber Harkins took to social media praising the shooter for his marksmanship and asking if he was going to give shooting lessons.

After the community became aware of the post, the backlash started for Harkins and she once again took to social media posting a second video claiming that her original video had been manipulated and reposted, but she offered no evidence to sup-

port her claim. She never offered an apology for the potential harm she may have caused.

In response to the incident, the school board held a special meeting on September 15th and produced the following statement: ‘The Brookings Harbor School Board is aware of recent online commentary circulating in the community originating from Amber Harkins.

We recognize this message has created enormous disruption and anxiety within our schools and neighborhoods. It is important to clarify the limits of the school board's authority. We may only take action in matters involving

district operations, employees, and students.

The board and district do not have the authority to sanction or discipline individuals who are not employed by the district, even when their actions create concern in the wider community. What we can do is reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the safety and well-being of our students and staff.

We stand firmly against violence, threats of violence, or the glorification of violent acts. We also unequivocally condemn horrific acts of violence in general, regardless of where or by whom they occur, as they have no place in a safe and caring community. Such views are inconsistent with the values of our schools and community.

Sea Cadet program being

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

The Curry County Board of Commissioners (BOC) is exploring an effort to establish a United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) unit for local youth in Curry County.

“We are excited to be working with Curry County to start a new unit,” said Captain Thurraya S. Kent, USN (ret), Strategic Growth Director U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps.

Founded in 1958, the USNSCC is a youth leadership and development program sponsored by the Navy League of the United States and endorsed by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard. The program’s mission is to build leaders of character by instilling in youth the values of honor, courage and commitment.

This nationally recognized leadership and character-building program prepares young people ages ten to seventeen for success in school, careers and community life through naval-inspired training and mentorship.

"Sea Cadets creates the leaders America needs. As the U.S.

The SBDC and an Opportunity for Business Owners

From the Small Business Development Center at SWOCC

The Small Business Development Center, located at Southwestern Oregon Community College (SWOCC) in Brookings, is offering a third year of workshops in their Small Business Management Series.

Beginning on October 14th, participants meet once a month through June, 2026. The ninemonth program covers the essential building blocks for businesses that are starting out, as well as offering an opportunity for existing businesses to grow and improve.

“Is it worth spending 3 hours a month in a workshop that allows business owners to work on their business instead of in their business? It is a game-changer,” said workshop facilitator and Curry Business Advisor, Gayle Goldstone.

Many local business owners have given glowing testimonials for the program:

-"The SBDC Management series has been an invaluable tool in helping us to achieve our goals! We wouldn't be where we are today without it!" said Ashley McGehee and Will Brown, owners of Legends Arcade.

-“SBDC’s Small Business Management Workshop Series offered a great opportunity for valuable

learning about business.

After taking it, I had a better understanding of many facets of business.” said Alisa Green of The Green Team! LLC.

-“Gayle Goldstone, our instructor for the SBDC Oregon Small Business Management Workshops, guides, educates, and supports those of us with ideas and aspirations into becoming real business owners. She has an intuitive grasp of the internal mindset of a successful entrepreneur, and as a teacher, she translates that into lessons we can touch, feel, count, and see.

The class covers a wide range of topics, for example, Demographics, Naming, Social Media, Cash Flow, Cybersecurity, and Banking Relationships. But what made these topics real for me, beyond the beautifully designed notes and expert guidance,

is the transformation I felt in the room. Despite any self-doubt I may have started with, I became a real business owner.

I wholeheartedly encourage anyone stepping into business—or seeking a fresh start—to take the class, show up for the one-on-one sessions, and experience what genuine support feels like." Said Karen Marie Sullivan, owner of Teachersully Solves Problems - Care and Advocacy for families.

The grant will help fund many key elements of the

project, but the paving of the north gravel parking lot was not included in the award. The city will continue to pursue additional funding sources to complete this improvement in the future.

The total cost of the

project is estimated at $213,000. The remaining project costs will be covered by Parks System Development Charges. Design work will be finalized this winter, with phased construction starting in 2026 to accommodate the park’s

busy sports schedule. “Bud Cross Park is a cornerstone of our community, and these improvements will make it safer, more accessible, and more enjoyable for families, athletes, and visitors for years to come,” said Rundel.

Navy's

while preparing

people for success in every path of life,” said Rear Admiral Andrew Lennon, USN, retired, executive director, U.S. Naval Sea Cadet

Corps. The program equips young people with confidence, skills and experiences that prepare them for future success in both civilian and military pathways.

“Our vision is to give Curry County youth an opportunity to be part of something extraordinary, a program that builds

leadership, patriotism and life skills,” said Jay Trost, Curry County Commission Chairperson. “The Sea Cadets have a long history of positively shaping young lives and we’re eager to see what this could mean for Curry County.”

The Sea Cadet program offers hands-on experiences in seamanship, maritime safety, aviation, STEM and civic service. Cadets participate in drills, field exercises and summer training alongside U.S. Navy and Coast Guard units, gaining firsthand experience in teamwork, discipline and maritime readiness.

While the USNSCC introduces youth to Navy, Coast Guard, and broader maritime careers, it is not a military recruitment program. The curriculum emphasizes leadership and technical training that supports multiple career paths, including the U.S. Merchant Marine, manufacturing, construction, transportation, information technology and the skilled trades.

“With more than two-thousand volunteers, supporting more than three-hundred units nationwide, we are proud to bring a new unit to Curry County,” said Rear Admiral Lennon. “The first step is finding dedicated volunteers, military background not required, who are ready to mentor cadets and help strengthen our communities, our Navy and the nation."

For Curry County families, the benefits are substantial. Cadets develop confidence, communication abilities, and practical skills in navigation, STEM

Lifeline Service

and emergency preparedness, capabilities directly relevant to our coastal region’s safety, resilience and economic vitality. The program also fosters civic pride, volunteerism and service to community and country.

“Local businesses and civic organizations also stand to benefit. Cadets graduate prepared for the workforce, higher education, industry, or military service, with strong work ethic, problem-solving ability and leadership,” said Curry County Commissioner Lynn Coker. “By investing in Curry County youth today, we build tomorrow’s leaders in public service, economic development, maritime trades and community life.”

According to its website: “The mission of the United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps is to build leaders of character by imbuing in our cadets the highest ideals of honor, respect, commitment and service.”

The Curry County Board of Commissioners has received support from the USNSCC national office and is working with regional partners toward a 2026 launch. Community stakeholders, sponsors and volunteers are invited to participate in this initiative to expand opportunities for local youth.

Interested parties are invited to contact: Curry County Sea Cadet Program Facilitator: Lynn.coker@ currycountyor.gov.

kicking off early as the 55th annual Brookings-Harbor Community Christmas Bazaar has completely sold out its vendor spaces in record time.

All one hundred and ten booths are reserved for the popular event, which draws vendors from across Oregon and Northern California. This year's event will feature over twenty new vendors, promising fresh finds alongside traditional favorites.

Local youth groups may also secure a space free of charge where they can sell their own homemade items. As of this writing, youth spaces are still available for reservation.

The bazaar will transform two adjoining buildings, the Azalea Middle School Gym and the Brookings-Harbor High School Cafeteria, into a haven for unique, handcrafted gifts. Shoppers can expect a wide array of items, including jewelry, pottery, woodworking, needlecrafts and baked goods.

"There’s something for everyone at the Christmas bazaar," said Larry Marta.

Bridging the two main venues is an alley space dedicated to food vendors, creating a perfect covered spot for visitors to grab lunch and socialize. There is no admission fee for visitors, and free parking is available at the Azalea Gym and the High School lot on Easy Street.

Adding to the festive spirit are two beloved bazaar features the raffle prizes and the surprise gifts.

For the raffle, tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5, and the drawing will be held at 3:30 p.m. Winners need not be present to claim prizes. This year’s prizes include a full cord of seasoned firewood, a cro-

cheted afghan, a driftwood Christmas tree and a basket of homemade cookies, among other things.

Christmas trees in each building are surrounded by gaily wrapped packages marked for "child," "adult," etc. These surprise gifts are sold for $1 each and contain a variety of new and gently used treasures, which is a source of great excitement for younger visitors.

The Brookings P.E.O. chapter, established in 2005, has already raised over $80,000, helping more than forty local women achieve their educational dreams. Women interested in applying for grants are encouraged to stop by the P.E.O. booth in the gym.

“I find such unusual and fun gifts at the Christmas bazaar,” said Karyn Stone.

The Brookings-Harbor Community Bazaar began in 1970 with a group of local women who used the income from booth rental to provide scholarships. After 50 years, the group retired, handing the project over to the Brookings chapter of the P.E.O. Sisterhood, which has been running it since 2020.

The event is entirely a fundraiser for charity. All earnings from booth rentals and the raffle go directly to the P.E.O. Sisterhood's mission: providing scholarships, grants and low-interest loans to support women's educational goals.

The event is set for Saturday, November 8th from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is free to attend.

Oregon sues to block Trump from sending National Guard to Portland

JULIA SHUMWAY

Oregon Capital Chronicle

Oregon and the city of Portland are suing President Donald Trump to block the federal government from deploying hundreds of Oregon National Guard members in an unprecedented crackdown in Oregon’s largest city.

Secretary of Defense

Pete Hegseth notified Gov. Tina Kotek on Sunday morning, Sept. 28, that he was mobilizing 200 Oregon National Guard members for 60 days under an order to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal property where protests are occurring or likely to occur.

Hegseth’s memo came the day after President Donald Trump declared in a social media post that he would deploy troops to Portland.

Within hours of Hegseth’s memo, the Oregon Department of Justice filed a lawsuit in U.S.

District Court in Portland.

Attorney General Dan Rayfield said in a video press briefing Sunday afternoon that his office has been preparing for the prospect since January.

“It’s actually un-American, if you think about it, to use the military against our own citizens,” Rayfield said. “But that’s exactly what’s happening right now across our country, from California to D.C. to Memphis, to Illinois, and now to Portland.”

Oregon is seeking a temporary restraining order to pause the planned deployment within the next 24 hours, Rayfield said. Gov. Tina Kotek said she spoke with Trump on Saturday and made clear that there is no insurrection or threat to public safety in Oregon.

“Oregon is our home,” Kotek said. “It is not a military target, and we’re going to fight back to make sure that we can keep Oregon safe.”

Portland has experi-

enced frequent protests outside an ICE facility, and the local U.S. attorney has brought charges against 26 people since early June for crimes including arson and resisting arrest. Most protests have remained peaceful.

On Sunday afternoon, about 200 people gathered at the ICE facility in south Portland to protest ICE, the Department of Homeland Security and Trump. Federal police from the Department of Homeland Security, many wearing gas masks and helmets, surrounded the building as protesters yelled “Shame, shame!” and called for them to get out of Portland.

Along with speaking with Trump on Saturday, Kotek said she exchanged texts with him on Sunday that ended with her expressing her disagreement and disgruntlement after receiving Hegseth’s memo by email.

As governor, Kotek is the commander-in-chief

of the Oregon National Guard. But Hegseth’s memo indicates that 200 members of the guard will instead receive orders by U.S. Northern Command, a joint federal military command based in Colorado.

A 19th-century law, the Posse Comitatus Act, generally forbids military members from conducting domestic law enforcement. Oregon lawmakers considered but did not pass a bill this year to reinforce prohibitions on the National Guard being used for domestic law enforcement.

Trump previously sent National Guard troops and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles to respond to protests against immigration enforcement there and ordered National Guard troops to assist police in Washington, D.C., a district where federal officials have sweeping powers not granted in the 50 states.

In Oregon, despite Trump’s claims Portland is “war ravaged,” there

has been no evidence of violence at protests against the administration.

“The president is either purposefully ignoring the reality on the ground in Portland to score political points, or at best is recklessly relying upon social media gossip,” Rayfield said. “The president’s actions today only serve to further divide us as a nation, as a community under the guise of caring about public safety.”

CHN Brings Orthopedic Services Back to Curry

Curry Health Network (CHN) is proud to announce the return of orthopedic care to Curry County beginning in October, which marks the first time in more than five years that local patients will have access to these essential services.

For the first time ever, total hip and knee replacements will be available close to home at Curry General Hospital in Gold Beach, eliminating the need for residents to travel long distances for specialized surgical care.

“This is a historic moment for Curry County,” said Virginia (Ginny) Williams, Chief Executive Officer of CHN. “Bringing orthopedics back after more than five years, and offering hip and knee replacements for the very first time, means our patients can now receive life-changing surgical care without leaving the community they call home.” Orthopedic coverage at CHN is made possible through a trusted partnership with Rural Physicians Group, a national physi-

cian-led practice that also supplies CHN’s hospitalists and one of its two general surgeons.

Two highly experienced orthopedic surgeons, Jose Inzunza, MD, and Jerod Hines, MD, will provide care on alternating twoweek on/two-week off schedules. This model ensures 24/7 orthopedic coverage for the emergency department while also supporting physician work-life balance.

Meet the Surgeons

Jose Inzunza, MD is a board-certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dr. Inzunza earned his medical degree from New York Medical College, completed residency at Westchester Medical Center, and a fellowship in sports medicine at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital. He most recently served as Associate Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at Jackson North Medical Center in Miami, Florida. Dr. Inzunza brings broad experience in advanced orthopedic procedures with a strong background in

sports medicine. Jerod Hines, MD is a board-certified by the American Board of Physician Specialties, Dr. Hines earned his medical degree from the University of Utah School of Medicine and completed residency

training in orthopedic surgery and a fellowship in sports medicine at McGill University Health Centre in Montreal. His career has included academic teaching, military service, and orthopedic practice in Idaho and New York.

Dr. Hines offers expertise in joint replacement and fracture repair, as well as surgical care for sports injuries.

“This approach ensures consistent, high-quality orthopedic coverage for our community while

supporting a schedule that promotes physician work-life balance,” said Williams. “It’s a win for our patients, the clinicians, and Curry County.” For more information visit www.curryhealthnetwork.com.
