Brookings, Oregon

Recall election looms, results remain uncertain ELLIOT SCHWARZ Country Media, Inc.

Brookings voters should be receiving Ballots for the Nov. 7 Special Recall Election. Mayor Ron Hedenskog, City Council President Ed Schreiber, and Councilor Michelle Morosky are the subject of the recall.

Ron Ed Hedenskog Schreiber In a recent online Pilot Poll, 89.1% of those

participating voted for the recall, while 10.1% voted against the recall. If all three officials are Michelle r e c a l l e d , Morosky t h e city council is immediately left without a

quorum. The city’s charter declares “A vacancy in the council shall be filled within 60 days by: (1) Appointment by a majority of the council; (2) Special election when the number of vacancies in the council exceeds the number of members holding office.” Without a quorum,

another special election is mandated by the charter, which explains, “The terms of office of those appointed or elected run from the time of their qualifying for office after appointment or election and until expiration of the terms of their predecessors who have left the offices vacant.”

Uncertainty

It is uncertain if it would be possible to meet that time frame. “Some believe it is not possible to open the vacant seats to completed applications [nominees]. The application must See RECALL, Page 10

Downtown REVITALIZING

Association seeks to unify merchants into a cohesive voice and vision ELLIOT SCHWARZ Country Media, Inc.

n a concerted effort to bolster their collective influence and address shared concerns, a Downtown Merchants Association (DMA) is taking shape under the organization of Bret Curtis and Scott Larson, two downtown business owners. Notably, about 25 local merchants have expressed interest by participating in meetings organized by Curtis and Larson. At the heart of the DMA’s formation lies the ambition to articulate a unified voice on behalf of downtown businesses and to present a cohesive vision to

city officials. The goal is to develop a vision for how residents and businesses want their downtown to look, feel, and function, according to Curtis and Larson. Curtis is co-owner of the Central Building and REMAX Coast & Country. Larsen is owner of the Redwood Theater. Business invitation In August the two issued invitations to about 100 downtown Brookings businesses to consider the DMA formation, pointing out that “currently there is nothing that identifies this area

as our ‘downtown.’ There is no theme, whether historical, architectural, beachy, or otherwise, that ties the downtown area to something above and beyond any one business or building. Lastly, but equally important, there is currently nothing that ties Chetco Avenue and Railroad Street together (and all the businesses and housing in-between).” Curtis and Larson have been in discussions with the city, and, according to Public Works and Development Services Director Anthony Baron, a “[u] nified voice to city council … is one of the most important aspects of the merchants

association, having a single unified voice to provide recommendations to council on funding priorities.” Following what the group described as “two successful discussions at the Redwood Theater over the past couple of months” they were able, through both the discussions and emails from invitees, to gather “dozens of ideas.” That coalesced into four primary emphases, which the prospective DMA sent to downtown businesses in a follow-up message: • What should our downtown theme be?

Deaths of gray ODOT revenue loss will impact whales linked to overall state road maintenance lack of Arctic ice JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.

ALEX BAUMHARDT Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article

Fast Fact Researchers at Oregon State University say three major mortality events, including one that’s ongoing, stem from a lack of food caused by ice changes.

The deaths of more than 700 West Coast gray whales since 2019 is likely the result of low food supplies caused by a lack of sea ice in the Arctic. A team of researchers led by Joshua Stewart of Oregon State University found there have been three “unusual mortality events” in the last 36 years, where

the delicate balance of ice in the Arctic shifts, leaving the whales without enough See WHALES, Page 12

INDEX

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) is facing significant declines in revenue and added expenses, which means Oregonians and visitors will see less maintenance along the state’s roadways in days and months ahead. ODOT manages a $6.12 billion budget that funds programs related to Oregon’s system of highways, roads and

bridges; railway; public transportation services; transportation safety programs; driver and licensing; and motor regulation. Delivery and operations accounts for about two-thirds, or $4 billion, of ODOT’s 2023-2025 legislatively approved budget. The division spends its resources on maintaining the highway system, bridge and pavement preservation projects, adding capacity

Struggling salmon fishermen getting CALENDAR federal help, but it may be too late GRANT STRINGER Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article

The federal government will dole out disaster relief to commercial Chinook salmon fishermen who have weathered a string of poor seasons on the Oregon Coast. But some fishermen say the help won’t be enough to rescue the fastshrinking industry. Earlier this month, two years after a request by Oregon’s governor, the U.S. Department of Commerce declared a Chinook fishery disaster for 2018, 2019 and 2020, years when local salmon populations plummeted. Fishing regulators blame the drop on poor habitat conditions and climate change near the California-Oregon border, where thousands of Chinook migrate from the ocean up rivers and streams to spawn. The disaster declaration releases financial assistance for fishermen and possibly for other businesses, along with funding to help restore the fishery and protect future Chinook runs, members of Oregon’s congressional delegation said in a statement. This species of salmon is Oregon’s official state fish and is of high cultural value to Northwest tribes. Chinook are also considered a cornerstone of the Oregon Coast economy. Sales of Chinook salmon used to feed thousands of families along the coast, but revenues have plummeted with the decline in the numbers of fish migrating up waterways. In the 1970s, the heyday for salmon fishing, thousands of commercial boats brought in an average $35 million per year in Chinook and coho salmon. But revenues later dropped, with Chinook fishermen especially hard hit. From 2018 to 2020, low numbers of Chinook and

limits to commercial fishing for about 15 years. Drivers of disaster

restrictions by the Pacific Fishery Management Council drove a hard downturn for fishermen and businesses such as restaurants and markets that sell Oregon-caught wild Chinook. From 2013 to 2017, the total commercial value of salmon caught in Oregon averaged more than $6 million per year. That steadily dropped to $1.4 million in 2020 and has only recovered slightly since, according to federal data. Fish numbers also dropped this summer with federal regulators closing most of the Oregon Coast and all of California to commercial Chinook fishing after projections of “near record-low” returns to the Klamath and Sacramento river basins. It’s not clear yet how much money the federal government will distribute for the disaster. People who are eligible for the federal help will be contacted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration “in the coming weeks,” Gov. Tina Kotek said in a statement. The assistance is “long overdue,” Oregon Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden said in a statement. They were joined by Oregon’s Democratic U.S. Reps. Suzanne Bonamici, Earl Blumenauer, Andrea

Salinas and Val Hoyle along with Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer. The only member of Oregon’s delegation not joining the effort was Republican Rep. Cliff Bentz, who represents eastern Oregon. Fishermen told the Capital Chronicle that they appreciate the assistance but said the relief is coming years too late and likely won’t make them whole, they said. “The powers that be move pretty slowly when it comes to this stuff,” said Ray Monroe, a Pacific City dory fisherman. Monroe is a member of the Oregon Salmon Commission, an industry-funded group that’s legally part of the state Department of Agriculture. While the national oceanic agency prepares to distribute the relief, the federal commerce department is also considering a request by Kotek to quickly declare a disaster for this year’s closed Chinook season. Former Gov. Kate Brown initially asked for a disaster declaration in 2021. Chinook salmon have consistently struggled to migrate from California, but some other salmon populations have rebounded in recent years, including federally-protected coho that have been mostly off-

Chinook fishing off the Oregon Coast is heavily influenced by the health of salmon runs in the Sacramento and Klamath rivers, which have suffered from drought and water overuse that’s exacerbated by climate change, scientists say. Chinook spawn in those rivers and migrate to the Oregon Coast to feed and mature before returning upstream to spawn again. Regulators home in on those fish populations when deciding whether to allow Chinook fishing for most of Oregon, said John North, an assistant fish division administrator with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. “If they aren’t doing that well, we can’t fish,” North said. North said poor river habitat and harsh conditions for salmon in the ocean led to federal regulators’ decisions from 2018 to 2020 to limit the number of Chinook salmon that could be caught off most of the Oregon Coast. However, according to Brown’s 2021 request for relief, Chinook fishing never stopped entirely in Oregon waters during those years. The fishery continues to be plagued by poor salmon runs. In 2021, about 90% of winter-run Chinook died in California’s Central Valley before spawning. The federal government had listed Central Valley spring-run Chinook as threatened in 1999, and numbers of returning salmon plummeted enough this fall that state and federal See SALMON, Page 5

It provides a space for individuals who have shared experiences to come together and support one another. To achieve that the first objective Law said was to replace the roof before the beginning of the rainy season. Other necessary repair projects will follow. An account for donations has been established at Rogue Credit Union. The iconic organization has a storied history and continues to be a formidable force in the realm of veterans’ advocacy. With a rich legacy dating back to its founding in 1899, the VFW is one of the nation’s largest veterans’ organizations. Post 966 in Brookings currently has 57 life members registered.

State-based insurance would protect your coverage

HEATHER KORBULIC Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Column

Gov. Tina Kotek recently signed Senate Bill 972, which will enable Oregon to transition from the federal health insurance marketplace to a state-based exchange, a move that could lead to wider health insurance coverage and contain premium growth. A state-based exchange is the lynchpin that could bring together Oregon’s broad spectrum of health care priorities. It would give state officials the flexibility to better serve disparate populations, reach underserved communities, improve access to behavioral health services, lower uninsured rates and save on administrative costs. Kotek is following through on her campaign promise to ensure every Oregonian has access to affordable health care and a state-based exchange could help increase enrollment and keep costs under the state’s control. Every state participates in a health care marketplace where residents can shop for an affordable plan. In some states, the federal government runs the exchange, while others have a hybrid model. The District of Columbia and 18 states have chosen state-based exchanges over the federal marketplace, including Nevada, where I served as the exchange’s executive director and saw firsthand the advantages of making this transition. Of the many benefits I witnessed, the ability to run our system autonomously was most impactful, allowing us to implement state policies that were best for Nevadans – such as state-specific special enrollment periods. The same can be done for Oregonians. Last year, about 150,000 people in Oregon signed up for health plans through the federal exchange. Switching to a state exchange could increase that number. State-based exchanges better enable outreach and enrollment efforts to target underserved populations. Whereas on the federal exchange, the approach often reflects a one-size-fits-all approach, state-based exchanges have been used across the country to target specific geographic, economic and demographic profiles, due in large part to increased access to state-specific data. States operating a state-based exchange also routinely invest in education campaigns and provide local assistance to help individuals and small businesses understand their options, apply for subsidies and enroll in suitable health plans. This localized support is particularly important for underserved groups that are often hard to reach. Now that the COVID health emergency has ended, along with enhanced federal funding, Oregon must fight to preserve the enrollment gains health

officials achieved over the last several years. In 2022, the percentage of residents with health insurance coverage grew to an impressive 95.4%, outpacing the national average by over 3%. However, without careful stewardship, widespread health care coverage losses may occur. To fight against coverage losses, the implementation of a state-based exchange could be especially helpful in assisting Kotek’s efforts to protect women’s health care in Oregon. Currently, more than 87,000 women in the state lack health care coverage – an uninsured rate of 7%. Transitioning to a state-based exchange could be critical to further bringing down those rates by enabling the state to run We are all unified, right and left in asking for a major campaigns and programs change in our local government elected officials because specifically geared towards they have aligned themselves with an admitted thief and pushing that rate down. even gone to the extreme measures to retain said thief to To sustain coverage be in charge of the City of Brookings.

Vote yes for the recall Stop the madness, vote YES on the recalls. Stop the madness indeed. Let’s not get confused here. One side of this issue centers around a known thief and the other side does not. It’s pretty simple. Either you are for honesty in our government, or you are part of the madness.

THIS THING CALLED LIFE

Think about what you want from life back to the past for the things I learned, I stay in the present for the things I currently have, and the circumstances I’m dealing with, I can allow myself to imagine I have no idea at all the things that lie before me. Because I literally don’t. There is freedom in creation that brings delights and wonders never explored. Without imagination they do not yet exist. Many years ago I was asked to imagine waking up every morning, and with first awareness, think the thought, “I love my life. I LOVE my life!” At first it was hard to imagine this could be a regular state of being. But I was willing to dream about it. I was willing to watch for signs on other people. I gave up on my “past” so to speak, and started living now and wondering what wonderful things

might lie on the horizon. Little by little, I slowly resolved the niggling disappointments inevitable in life. I upgraded the level of my relationships. I was gobsmacked to discover, it worked. I love my life. Every day. Look, results may vary for everyone, but beware, you risk smiling more often when you’re balancing the past, present and imagining a new kind of future. Other than that I don’t know what’s going to come for you. But when you find yourself smiling in the present because of the future you’re creating in concert with your past life lessons, I know just what to say then: “How DOES it get any better than this?” Michelle Pierson Young is a Lincoln City life coach.

Oregon joins court action against Facebook parent company and the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Further, these practices have harmed and continue to harm the physical and mental health of children and teens, fueling what the U.S. Surgeon General – America’s top doctor – has deemed a “youth mental health crisis” that has ended lives, devastated families, and damaged the potential of a generation of young people. “These platforms are not safe for our young Americans, and Meta knew that,” Rosenblum said. “Yet, instead of taking steps to mitigate these harms, Meta misled the public and hid the extent of the harms to mental health suffered by young users addicted to the use of its platforms.” The complaint further

Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum has filed suit against Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, among other brands. The federal complaint, joined by 33 states and filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, asserts that Meta knowingly designed and deployed harmful features on Instagram and its other social media platforms that purposefully addict children and teens. All the while, Meta falsely assured the public that these features are safe and suitable for young users. The attorneys general assert that Meta’s business practices violate state consumer protection laws

alleges that Meta knew that young users, including those under 13, were active on the platforms, and knowingly collected data from these users without parental consent. It targeted these young users noting, as reported in a 2021 Wall Street Journal article, that such a user base was “valuable, but untapped.” While much of the complaint relies on confidential material that

is not yet available to the public, publicly available sources including those previously released by former Meta employees, detail that Meta profited by purposely making its platforms addictive to children and teens. Its platform algorithms push users into descending “rabbit holes” in an effort to maximize engagement. Features like infinite scroll and near-constant

alerts were created with the express goal of hooking young users. These manipulative tactics continually lure children and teens back onto the platform. As Aza Raskin, the original developer of the infinite scroll concept, noted to the BBC about the feature’s addictive qualities: “If you don’t give your brain time to catch up with your impulses ... you just keep scrolling.” Meta knew these addictive features harmed young people’s physical and mental health, including undermining their ability to get adequate sleep, but did not disclose the harm nor did they make meaningful changes to minimize the harm. Instead, they claimed their platforms were safe for young users, according to the complaint.

These lawsuits are the result of a bipartisan, nationwide investigation. Oregon is joined in the federal lawsuit by: Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Salmon The Oregon Salmon Commission helped coordinate those payments, said Jeff Reeves, a veteran fisherman based near Coos Bay who is the board’s chairman. Fishermen, restaurateurs and others received about $8,000 each, he said. But the money took a few years to arrive, and Reeves said too many checks went to businesses that weren’t directly involved in fishing. “I’m not trying to sound unappreciative, but that was not enough to save the fishermen,” Reeves said.

biologists are trapping them for the first time in an effort to save runs from extinction. One of many ‘disasters’ The federal government has declared a slew of fishery disasters for various salmon populations on the West Coast in recent years. North said that’s apparently becoming more common. In addition to the newlyannounced disaster and Kotek’s request for a Chinook disaster this year, the federal government has declared salmon fishery disasters in Oregon at least four times since 1994, often in tandem with California. Most recently, the national oceanic agency doled out almost $9 million to compensate Oregon and California communities affected by a Chinook downturn in 2016 and 2017.

Hard times Reeves has fished the central Oregon Coast for decades. He said Oregon’s Chinook fishing fleet is “on life support”: Last year, just 180 boats landed Chinook or coho compared with a peak of 3,900 boats in the late 1970s, federal records show. And when Chinook

It’s not easy for them to pivot from Chinook “trolling” to fishing for other catch because commercial fishing in general is time-intensive, heavily-regulated and expensive.

Other coastal salmon populations are faring better than Klamath and Sacramento-run Chinook, Shaun Clements, the state acting deputy director of fish and wildlife, told a state legislative committee this month. The national oceanic agency protected Oregon coastal coho in 1998 under the Endangered Species Act. That population may have improved enough to be delisted in the coming years, Clements said. North said Chinook from the Columbia River returned strong this year. Those fish typically migrate north to Washington and British Columbia. Oregon commercial fisheries could benefit

Reeves said. “I’ve seen lots of good people go by the wayside because they had invested in the salmon fishery,” he said.

‘Uncharted territory’ imperials life on Earth STEVE LUNDEBERG Pilot Guest Article An international coalition of climate scientists says in a paper published today that the Earth’s vital signs have worsened beyond anything humans have yet seen, to the point that life on the planet is imperiled. William Ripple, a distinguished professor in the Oregon State University College of Forestry, and former OSU postdoctoral researcher Christopher Wolf are the lead authors of the report, and 10 other U.S. and global scientists are co-authors. “Without actions that address the root problem of humanity taking more from the Earth than it can safely give, we’re on our way to the potential collapse of natural and socioeconomic systems and a world with unbearable heat and shortages of food and freshwater,” Wolf said. Published in BioScience, “The 2023 State of the climate report: Entering uncharted territory” notes that 20 of 35 planetary vital signs the authors use to track climate change are at record extremes. The authors share new data illustrating that many climate-related records were broken by “enormous margins” in 2023, particularly those relating to ocean temperatures and sea ice. They also note an extraordinary Canadian wildfire season that produced unprecedented carbon dioxide emissions. The report follows by four years the “World

Scientists’ Warning of a Climate Emergency” published by Ripple and collaborators in BioScience and co-signed by more than 15,000 scientists in 161 countries. “Life on our planet is clearly under siege,” Ripple said. “The statistical trends show deeply alarming patterns of climate-related variables and disasters. We also found little progress to report as far as humanity combating climate change.” Among the key numbers in the report: Fossil fuel subsidies – actions by governments that artificially lower the cost of energy production, raise the price received by producers or lower the price paid by consumers – roughly doubled between 2021 and 2022, from $531 billion to just over $1 trillion. Already this year wildfires in Canada have pumped more than 1 gigaton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, greater than Canada’s total 2021 greenhouse gas emissions of 0.67 gigatons. In 2023, there have already been 38 days with global average temperatures more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Until this year, such days were a rarity, the authors note. The highest average Earth surface temperature ever recorded came this past July, and there’s reason to believe it was the highest surface temperature the planet has seen in the last 100,000 years. “As scientists, we are hugely troubled by the

sudden increases in the frequency and severity of climate-related disasters,” said Wolf, now a scientist with Corvallis-based Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Associates. “The frequency and severity of those disasters might be outpacing rising temperatures. By the end of the 21st century, many regions may have severe heat, limited food availability and elevated mortality rates.” The authors say policies are needed that take aim at the underlying issue of “ecological overshoot.” When human demand on the Earth’s resources is too large, the result in an array of environmental crises, including biodiversity decline. As long as humanity continues to put extreme pressure on the planet, any strategy that focuses only on carbon or climate will simply redistribute the pressure, they note. “Our goal is to communicate climate facts and make policy recommendations,” Ripple said. “It is a moral duty of scientists and our institutions to alert humanity of any potential existential threat and to show leadership in taking action.” The authors urge transitioning to a global economy that prioritizes human well-being and curtails overconsumption and excessive emissions by the rich. Specific recommendations include phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, transitioning

watching that effect in the West. Of the 612 federally listed glaciers in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming, 50 are no longer considered glaciers given their size and condition, researchers found. Geologists consider glaciers to cover at least 25 acres. They’re made up of ice, snow, rock, sediment and exist in areas where the average temperatures are close to freezing, winter precipitation produces significant accumulations of snow or warmer temperatures the rest of the year don’t melt the previous winter’s snowpack, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Two glaciers, in Washington and Wyoming, have disappeared entirely. In the Cascade Range, 25

glaciers have been lost, including seven in Oregon. Fountain said it’s possible that glaciers in the Oregon stretch of the range and any peaks south of Mount Hood could begin disappearing altogether in about 50 years. “What this means is that our gorgeous summertime views of the mountains are going to become more like California, where they’re just kind of barren peaks,” he said. Fountain and his team outlined and identified glaciers using maps compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey over 40 years, from the 1940s to the 1980s. They overlaid satellite imagery of the same areas taken between 2013 and 2020, coming up with a comprehensive inventory of 1,331 glaciers in the seven Western states, including the 612 federally

They stress that all climate-related actions must be grounded in equity and social justice, noting that extreme weather and other climate impacts are being disproportionately felt by the poorest people, who have contributed the least to climate change.

Oregon, Western states losing glaciers ALEX BAUMHARDT Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article

Glacial melt from climate change is no longer just a problem at the poles. Across the contiguous Western U.S., glaciers are slowly disappearing, according to a new analysis by researchers at Portland State University and the U.S. Geological Survey. The study was published in the journal Earth System Science Data on Sept. 15. Without glaciers, people, plants and animals are more vulnerable to late summer drought. Glaciers play an important role in regulating waterways, acting as a frozen reservoir that provides cool water for streams in the driest, hottest parts of summer when seasonal snowpacks have already melted. They also indicate the health of snowpacks needed to supply municipal water systems. “You have apple orchards and pear orchards that get their water from the Middle Fork of the Eliot River in the Hood River Basin, and that’s glacial, that’s like two-thirds glacial fed in late August and September,” said Andrew Fountain, a Portland State University geology professor who led the study. “Now is that important to the orchards? Frankly, I don’t know. But that water is probably going to go away,” he added. Scientists have long tracked glacial melt in the North and South poles but as the impact of climate change spread, they’re now

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 Auction.com at 800.280.2832 for information regarding the Trustee’s Sale or visit the Internet Website address www.Auction.com for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, CA0500018923-1. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.\ emspace Notice to Tenant NOTICE TO TENANT FOR FORECLOSURES AFTER JANUARY 1, 2021, You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 800.280.2832, or visit this internet website www. Auction.com, using the file number assigned to this case CA05000189-23-1 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Electric vehicle sales up in Oregon thanks to incentives GRANT STRINGER Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article More Oregonians than ever are buying electric cars and the state is poised to see a major influx, in part because of friendly state and federal policies, according to a new report by the Oregon Department of Energy. Almost 70,000 electric vehicles are registered in Oregon, up from 38,000 in 2021, analysts wrote in a report to the Oregon Legislature that was released last week. The agency says Oregon will probably surpass the state’s goal to have 90% of vehicle sales be electric by 2035, which would help decarbonize the state’s transportation sector, the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Jessica Reichers, energy technology and policy manager at the Oregon Department of Energy, told the Capital Chronicle that Oregon is on the cusp of a big shift to electric cars. Nationally, Oregon is emerging as a hub: Sales of electric vehicles in Oregon were second only to California in the first

quarter of 2023, the report said. Regionally, Oregon has collaborated with California, Washington and British Columbia, Canada for a network of fast charging stations dubbed the West Coast Electric Highway. The report also notes that falling prices and more consumer choices for electric vehicles — including a growing market for used models — are helping speed up the pace of adoption. However, only 2% of registered vehicles in Oregon are electric. Few dealerships sell electric cars in central and eastern Oregon, and it can still be hard to find a charge outside of urban centers or away from Interstate 5 and Interstate 84, Reichers said. Heavier-duty vehicles, like buses and semi trucks, remain expensive and hard to charge. Transitioning those vehicles will be more difficult but critical for Oregon climate goals, the report said. State lawmakers passed goals for electric vehicle adoption in 2019. Agencies are using a combination of requirements and incentives to get more electric cars on

the road. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality requires that 35% of new cars, trucks and SUVs sold in Oregon have no tailpipe emissions by 2026, with stricter rules after that. Oregon also debuted two wildly-popular rebate programs to help buyers cover the cost of an electric car. One, the Charge Ahead EV program, gave lowincome Oregonians who purchased electric vehicles up to $5,000. But both programs ran out of money because of “overwhelming demand.” Stuart Green, policy manager for the Portlandbased nonprofit Forth, said the Charge Ahead rebate

made a big splash: More than 40% of zero-emission vehicle registrations were supported by the program, Green said.

110’s policies failed Oregonians, O H A’s implementation has done so as well. Prior to the passage of Measure 110, Oregon was 49th in the nation for access to treatment and now Oregon is 50th. After sitting through the Joint Interim Committee on Addiction and Community Safety Response yesterday, I was shocked at some of the figures presented and answers given by

OHA personnel. Their presentation only showed data through 2021, however CDC data is readily available through October 1st, 2023. I’m disappointed with the perception by the department to not present the most recent data available to the public, as it shows the dramatic increase in drug overdose deaths since the passage of Measure 110. “Measure 110 is a

emits carbon, particularly during the assembly of lithium ion batteries. Reichers noted that mining for lithium and other necessary minerals comes with its own environmental and human rights concerns. To meet climate goals, state agencies require fuel suppliers to sell progressively cleaner products and invest in multi-modal transit systems that take more vehicles off the road, whether they’re electric or not.

failure. More lives are lost every day. Our law enforcement officers are put at greater risk and without the necessary tools to protect our citizens and their communities. I appreciate and thank the Douglas, Coos, and Curry County Commissioners for recently passing resolutions requesting the Governor and/or Oregon Legislature to repeal Measure 110. I also appreciate the support

of our County Sheriffs and District Attorneys on these county resolution requests. “As the State Senator for District 1, which includes all of Curry and most of Coos and Douglas Counties, I stand with our County Commissioners in their request. We must repeal Measure 110 to give our law enforcement officers the tools needed to protect the health and safety of our residents and

their communities. I call on Governor Kotek and my legislative colleagues to act,” Smith said.

He said pausing the rebate programs will slow the state’s progress and called for more incentives, especially for low-income residents and rural communities that “have more barriers to electrification and are less likely to be served by private investments.” A federal incentive of up to $7,500 is still available for moderate- and lowincome drivers. Reichers said Oregon’s

biggest challenge is a lack of chargers. Plug-in electric cars can be charged with a standard 110-volt outlet. But a faster charge requires a Level 2 charger that comes with a price tag of up to $1,200, Reichers said. The Oregon Department of Transportation plans to invest $100 million, with about half from federal funds, in charging networks. Its Community Charging Rebates Program has committed up to $7 million to help install Level 2 chargers in rural swaths of Oregon. Reichers also said private charging companies including Tesla are beginning to collaborate more, which will open more options for drivers. However, Green said, it’s far from certain whether Oregon will meet its zeroemission vehicle targets. A policy reversal from the federal government, supply chain glitches or legal challenges to government policy “could easily change what is possible in Oregon,” Green said. Electric engines produce no tailpipe emissions and are far more climatefriendly than internal combustion engines. But electric car production still

Recall Continued from Page 1 contain 25 verified [signature] endorsements from city residents,” Hedenskog said. “That process probably needs three to four weeks to complete. State requires mail in ballots so the county would have to assist in preparing a ballot (about $36,000) send the ballots, allow the required days to collect, count, and certify the results. Finally, a special meeting of the council would be called to swear in and install the new mayor and councilors.” The polls for recall close at end of day Nov. 7 and the county has 25 days to complete the counting, send the results to the city recorder, who has five days to announce the results. The seats may not be declared empty until 35 days after Nov. 7, according to Hedenskog. “There are questions about how long it would take to process a special election, but it could take longer than 60 days,”

Schreiber said. Schreiber clarified the impact on city the implementation and execution of municipal functions during the recall process. “During that time, I would assume the city manager would act as the final authority on city actions, since there would not be a functioning city council,” he said. “In this scenario, problems are likely to arise when decisions affecting funding or legal decisions are required. Those decisions, which are often ‘shortnotice’ are normally made by the city council. If the city council lacks a quorum, those important decisions would likely be made by the city manager.” The Pilot also reached out to Brookings City Manager Janelle Howard who is the city’s election official, and Curry County Clerk, Shelley Denney, who is the Curry County chief elections official, for clarification about the recall process. Both had not

Main Street qualifications

• How should we brand our theme? • How should we identify our downtown area, the borders, the center (if there is a center), everywhere in between? • How should we connect Chetco Avenue and Railroad Street (and all the businesses in between) into the theme and identity of our downtown? • What obstacles does our downtown face that we can solve with the resources available? C u r r e n t l y, those resources are limited to monies the city has, primarily urban renewal funds. A DMA would be a significant vehicle in pursuing Oregon Main Street grants available through Oregon State Parks State Historic Preservation Office, according to the Curtis and Larson invitation.

In order to qualify for the Main Street designation and possible funding, the boundaries or primary focus area of the organization must be that of a traditional downtown or neighborhood commercial district. In addition to the delineation of a downtown district there are architectural requirements. “It is likely that Brookings will qualify given its historic buildings downtown,” the invitation states. According to the Main Street Network website, a traditional downtown’ or ‘traditional neighborhood commercial district’ is defined as a grouping of 20 or more contiguous commercial parcels containing buildings of historical or architectural significance. The area must have been zoned, planned, built, or used for

responded by press time. Schreiber pointed out that in the event that three members of the city council are recalled, and a Special Election is required, the expense would be significant. “The Special Election would probably cost about $30,000 to city taxpayers,” he said. “There would also be additional attorney fees to help city staff navigate. It’s quite possible that Brookings would have a severe lack of experience at the council level ... with the most senior councilor having taken office in late 2022. It’s also quite possible that such a council would terminate the contract of our experienced city manager ... the person most responsible for helping new councilors understand how the city functions. In that event, in my opinion, Brookings city operations would suffer, funding opportunities would be missed, infrastructure improvements would be delayed or cancelled, expenses would increase,

and city hall could become quite chaotic ... resulting in more stress for city staff and potentially reduced service levels for residents and businesses.”

the recall as based on “Hedenskog, Schreiber and Morosky each voting to reinstate Janell Howard as city manager after she was arrested July 4, 2022, for theft at a local business. Howard spent seven months on paid leave before being reinstated to her job in early February, despite strong public opposition. A Brookings police officer resigned, multiple Brookings city employees wrote a letter in protest, and council chambers were packed with citizens over several months, many of whom implored the council not to reinstate Howard.” Brookings voters will decide if Hedenskog, Schreiber, and Morosky did, in fact, act egregiously, as the petitioners claim, or voted in good conscience, as they have stated, in the best interest of the city.

Triglia’s petition to recall Hedenskog says in part that, “against strong public opinion, Hedenskog has

insisted on keeping Janell Howard as city manager, with whom he has had a long-standing relationship.” Triglia’s petition states that, “Hedenskog has squandered an excessive amount of hard-earned taxpayer dollars in legal fees, reports and investigations.” Cunningham’s petition claims that Councilor “Schreiber persuaded other councilors to vote for a permanent reinstatement of Howard, approved by a narrow 3-2 majority” and that “public confidence has suffered”. Worth says in her petition to recall Councilor Morosky that “Ms. Morosky has flip-flopped on voting out and then voting to retain Ms. Howard” and “the reputation of the city has been damaged and there is no confidence in the three members of the three members of the sitting council that continue to kowtow to the city manager, a known thief.” The petitioners outlined their motivation for

Elliot Schwarz / Country Media, Inc. The Redwood Theater is one of Brookings iconic downtown locations. It is the city’s oldest building. commercial purposes for commercial and mixed-use buildings that represent the more than 50 years. community’s architectural The area must be: • A traditional central heritage. • It may also include business district and in-fill center for socio-economic c o m p a t i b l e development. And have interaction. • It must be characterized a sufficient mass of by a cohesive core businesses, buildings, and of historic or older density to be effective.

That are typically arranged with most of the buildings side-by-side and fronting the sidewalk along a main street with intersecting side streets, and compact, easily walkable, and pedestrianoriented. The city’s oldest historic building is the Redwood Theater on Chetco Avenue in the center of the city. It could be a focal point for qualifying for the Main Street designation. The Redwood Theater was built in 1915 as the administration building for Brookings Company. This company was comprised of the Brookings Land and Townsite Company, California and Oregon Lumber Company, the Brookings Commercial Company, and the Northwest Railroad C o m p a n y. To g e t h e r, these entities owned and operated Brookings from 1906 through the late 1920s.

Background The recall election was triggered by the successful collection of more than 463 signatures each for three council petitions. As previously reported by the Pilot, Dennis Triglia, is chief petitioner for the recall of Hedenskog. Tr i g l i a , a former Brookings city councilor, was joined by Henry “Hank” Cunningham, chief petitioner to recall Schreiber and Debra Worth, chief petitioner to recall Morosky. All three said the reinstatement of Howard as city manager prompted them to file the recall petitions.

Larsen and Curtis indicate that some who attended the meetings will be working on the project with them. Their next step is to survey downtown business owners and compile “all the ideas into major themes, broader ideas and concepts.” Curtis and Larson said they are hoping for robust support and mentioned in their emails to business owners that, “What’s very important and critical to our success is you r participation. We’ll be sending these surveys to approximately 100 businesses that occupy our downtown area (Pacific to Oak and Chetco Avenue to Railroad Street. In order to best serve the entire downtown community, we’ll want 100 responses.” Follow this developing story at currypilot.com and in the Wednesday print editions of The Pilot.

Whales

Continued from Page 1 food or access to food. The team’s findings were published Oct. 13 in the journal Science. Stewart, an assistant professor at Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute, has studied West Coast gray whale populations recorded since the 1960s, as well as environmental data related to their habitats. The whales pass the Oregon Coast each year on their 12,000-mile summer migration from breeding grounds in Baja, Mexico to the Arctic to feed. Stewart and his team identified three unusual mortality events, beginning in 1987, 1999 and 2019, and found each was tied to food availability issues caused by ice fluctuations. In some years, too much ice blocked the whales from accessing their traditional feeding grounds. In the current mortality event, the lack

Roads

Continued from Page 1 to highways, and bicycle/ pedestrian projects among others. The Pilot reached out to ODOT Assistant Communications Director Katherine Benenati for insight into the budget challenges. The Pilot: What is ODOT’s message to drivers about the winter maintenance that may not be available? Katherine Benenati: Let me stress, that we will still be out there. But we will not be able to provide the service Oregonians have come to expect. During winter, you’ll notice more snow and ice build-up, more chain requirements, longer delays and fewer open roads. Please plan ahead: carry chains and know how to use them, check local forecasts and forecasts for where you’re going, keep an eye on tripcheck.com. We remind travelers to do these things every year. This winter, it will be even more critical. And it’s not just winter maintenance that will be affected. We’re already restricting maintenance recruitments, deferring some road and bridge maintenance, including pavement repair and painting as well as litter removal and graffiti cleanup, and scaling back after-hours response efforts. These cuts will affect drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and freight haulers – everyone who uses the system. You’ll see more potholes and ruts on the road, along with more trash in medians and along highways. You’ll spend more time waiting for roads to re-open after a crash, see lowered speed limits because of poor pavement conditions and fewer ODOT responders on the road. You can learn more about our budget and regional cuts at: https:// www.oregon.gov/odot/ about/pages/transportationfunding.aspx. The Pilot: What is the economic factor that is likely leading to less winter maintenance? Benenati: There are a few, namely declining revenues and rising costs for materials, labor and equipment. Revenue from the gas tax is on track to decline as vehicles become more efficient while the cost of doing business has increased rapidly in recent years. To balance our budget, we are scaling back maintenance and services around the state. Until the state establishes a sustainable revenue source, these cuts will only become more severe. We cannot fund maintenance or direct services by redirecting funding from other areas like our transit or electric vehicle charging programs, nor can we pull

of robust ice means less algae is growing beneath ice sheets and falling to the sea floor. This has left the whales’ prey, small shrimplike crustaceans called amphipods, in smaller numbers because of a lack of nutrients and the habitat they need. Warmer Arctic waters and faster currents have also brought the arrival of other creatures to compete for nutrients at the bottom of the food chain, further reducing the number of calorie-dense amphipods that whales need. Between 2016 and 2023, the population of eastern North Pacific gray whales has declined by nearly half, from a high of 27,000 to about 14,500 today, according to the most recent data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. Stewart said climate change has played a role in driving recent sea ice loss, impacting the food chain

and leading to malnutrition responsible for hundreds of whales washing up on the West Coast during the last four years. Each of the three die offs Stewart’s team has studied led to whale population declines of at least 25% in just a few years. “We’re hoping that by diving a little deeper into the causes we can maybe better predict what the future of the gray whale population will look like, and then take some lessons from that for other large whale species and populations that are maybe increasingly impacted by climate change,” Stewart said. West Coast gray whales have the longest migration of any mammal and are only found in the Pacific. They are among eight whale species in the Pacific. They were listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species

Act but recovered and came off the list in 1994. Nevertheless, in 2019, 120 dead gray whales washed up on West Coast beaches. In the years that followed, about 600 whales washed ashore, appearing to be malnourished, according to scientists. Earlier this year, three gray whales washed up on Oregon beaches within two weeks, and in June, five washed up on shores in Washington. Most were malnourished. So far this year there have been 63 dead gray whales found on shores between the Baja and Alaska, according to NOAA data. The current mortality event has gone on twice as long as the 1987 and 2019 events, Stewart said. But there are signs it is coming to an end. NOAA scientists in Baja found that gray whales in area lagoons are larger and healthier this year than in years prior. And for the

not comfortable driving on slick roads, consider using public transportation to get where you need to go. If you are traveling on low volume roads, expect a rougher trip than you are used to. Pavement in these areas will decline, so slow down and stay focused on the road ahead.

Use the yellow center line for guidance in low visibility weather. Many roads will not have the white line on the side repainted. Follow this developing story at currypilotcom and in the Wednesday print editions of The Pilot.
