Brookings resident falls 30 feet at ocean cliff JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.
A Brookings woman is safe after falling from a high cliff while hiking along the southern Oregon Coast. According to the investigators, the Brookings Police Dispatch transferred a 911 call to the Curry County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch from 56-year-old Jody Thibodo at approximately 1:12 p.m. Monday, Nov. 13. Thibodo reported that she had been hiking on a trail with her dog. She and her dog, Electra, had slipped off the trail and was stuck about 30-feet down a steep embankment, she said. Thibodo was not familiar with the area and was unsure where her vehicle was parked. Curry County Sheriff’s Office dispatch Sgt. Synthia Westerman was able to get a coordinate of Thibodo’s location from the 911 call and paged out the Curry County Search and Rescue rope team. Sheriff’s patrol deputies responded to the area and located Thibodo’s vehicle at House Rock Viewpoint, about five miles north of Brookings. With the assistance of the deputies, SAR members Art Tarin, Craig Rasbury, Jennifer Stansell, Mike Merica, Joe Kolp, Dirk Van

INDEX
Zante and SAR Manager Jesse Fletcher arrived and set up a plan for the rescue. SAR members located Thibodo and her dog off the trail just less than a mile north of House Rock Viewpoint. The team was able to rappel down to Thibodo and her dog, Electra, put harnesses on them and bring them both back to the trail where they were escorted back to Thibodo’s vehicle. “We have an incredible SAR team who stop what they are doing when they get a SAR call and respond to help,” Curry County Sheriff John Ward said. “They do this so that others may live”. Oregon Coast dangers According to information provided to The Pilot by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), most locations that draw folks to Oregon’s beaches are well-signed posting warnings. Oregon State Parks post warnings about everything from strong currents to cliff edges. Fences also are used to encourage visitors to stay away from dangerous areas. There are also more than 130 signs that mark the beach access numbers for emergency responders.

SHERIFF’S TIPS OF THE WEEK
How to avoid storm damage to your home Deal with drainage problems. Clean gutters from fallen leaves and other debris. Address other drainage problems around your home, including areas where water can drain onto the foundation and cause damage. Landscaping professionals can help you identify the problems and find solutions so that you don’t have issues when the storms come. Sandbag before flooding occurs. Sandbags may be used to help redirect water away from structures. There are two sandbagging stations in Lincoln County, one at North Lincoln Fire and Rescue St. Clair Station in Lincoln City, and one at the Public Works parking lot in Newport. Find sandbagging and flooding resources on our website: www.co.lincoln.or.us/757/ Hazards-Flooding-RiverLevels Inspect the roof periodically. If an inspection shows possible leaks, getting them fixed right away will help protect your home from damage. A brand-new roof should withstand most weather, but if your roof is more than 5 years old, it should be checked for loose shingles, nails, and sheathing. Loose shingles, nails, and sheathing can cause chunks of roofing to be dislodged or create openings for rain and ice to penetrate. Roofs that are over 15 years old risk sudden deterioration or failure in storms even if no problems are apparent. Consider impact-rated windows. You may be able to protect your windows from damage by installing hurricane shutters, or just boarding up the windows if a severe storm is imminent. New windows are likely to be more airtight and impervious to leaks and damage than older windows. In areas where severe weather is frequent, such as coastal areas, consider windows that are specially made to withstand storm-level air pressure and impact.
LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE Storms can be severe and leave a lasting impact on our communities, but there are ways to prepare your home to minimize the risk of damage when severe weather strikes. In some cases, taking these steps can mean the difference between costly home repairs and no storm damage to your home at all.

FBI report shows increase bias incidents in Oregon bias types within those The FBI defines a hate Report Hate Crimes.” New campaign top bias categories by volume crime as a criminal of reported hate crime offense against a person FBI role in investigating launched incidents is Anti-Black or or property motivated in hate crimes STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released the 2022 Hater Crime Report as part of its Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program and the law enforcement has launched a new hate crime reporting campaign.

numbers
in
In Oregon, 212 of 236 agencies voluntarily submitted data for this current 2022 report. The UCR program specifically defines a hate crime as a criminal offense motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender’s bias or biases against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity. In Oregon, there were 290 single bias incidents reported in 2022, and 287 single bias incidents reported in 2021. In Oregon, there were 428 reported victims in 2022, and 377 reported victims in 2021. These victim numbers include both single bias and multiple bias incidents. Nationally, there were over 11,000 single-bias hate crime incidents involving 13,278 victims and 346 multiple-bias hate crime incidents that involved 433 victims. In 2022, the top three bias categories in singlebias incidents were race/ ethnicity/ancestry, religion, and sexual-orientation. The
African American for race/ ethnicity/ancestry bias, Anti-Jewish for religious bias, and Anti-Gay (male) for sexual-orientation bias. Key takeaways from the report
The bias motivator in about 60% of Oregon incidents were race/ ethnicity/ancestry. Victims perceived as Black were the racial group targeted most frequently. Religion was the motivator in about 10% of cases. Victims perceived as Jewish were the religious group targeted most frequently. Sexual orientation was the motivator in about 18% of reported Oregon incidents. Raw UCR reporting is available on FBI.gov and through the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer. Oregon effort The Portland Division of the FBI is joining the FBI’s nationwide efforts to increase awareness about hate crimes and encourage reporting of hate incidents with advertising campaign across Oregon. The campaign, which began Nov. 6, includes billboards in Medford, Eugene, Corvallis, as well as static and digital displays reaching thousands of passengers daily at Portland International Airport. Hate crimes are the highest priority of the FBI’s civil rights program because of the devastating impact they have on families and communities.
whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity. The FBI is the lead investigative agency for criminal violations of federal civil rights statutes and works closely with local, state, tribal, and other federal law enforcement partners in many of these cases, even when federal charges are not pursued. “Violent acts motivated by hate are unacceptable in our communities,” FBI Portland Field Office Special Agent in Charge Kieran L. Ramsey said. “Sadly though, the amount of hate crimes reported here in Oregon has doubled from what it was just five years ago. Even still, the vast majority of these crimes are going underreported and that needs to change. That’s why we are spreading the word with this campaign. The FBI serves to safeguard against hate and violence, but we can only do so if we know about any such threats or violent actions. Every person has the right to live without fear of violence or intimidation. The FBI and our law enforcement partners will continue to hold those accountable whose hatefilled aggression violates the civil rights of others.” This Oregon effort ties with a national FBI awareness campaign that hopes to drive education efforts and increase reporting: “Protecting Our Communities Together:
There are a number of federal laws that give the FBI the ability to investigate hate crimes. Those laws generally require some kind of criminal act AND a finding that the person committing the act did so because he/ she was motivated by bias. The criminal act can include offenses such as murder, assault, arson, and it generally requires the use or threat of force or violence. For an incident to qualify as a federal hate crime, the subject(s) must have acted wholly or in part based on the victim’s actual or perceived status. This is generally consistent with state law. Under federal law, bias motivators include: Race Ethnicity National origin Disability Religion Gender Gender identity Sexual orientation Billboard locations Eugene: 5th Ave Medford: Bullock Rd Table Rock Rd Lawnsdale Rd Bank Rd Corvallis: Highway 34

Monitor weather and storm warnings so you can prepare in advanced. The National Weather Service provides many updates including weather forecasts, current conditions, flood warnings, and more at, www.weather. gov/pqr/ In addition to local alerts, Lincoln Alerts can send automated messages and warnings directly from the National Weather Service (NWS) if you update your settings under “Alert Subscriptions”. Users can choose to receive NWS automated messages for high wind warnings, floods, winter weather, and more. Users can also choose the times they would like to receive messages or set “quiet hours” for these specific NWS Alert Subscriptions, see member.everbridge. net/892807736721689/ login. Prepare before inclement weather Remove dead wood. Trimming your trees help prevent falling branches in heavy wind or other severe weather. For particularly tall trees, experts can do the trimming for you and can tell you when trees are at risk of being blown over in a storm so they can be removed. Secure outdoor items. Loose items like grills, picnic tables, and lawn furniture should be brought inside to avoid becoming projectiles in high winds. Decorations, even those securely attached to the home, could cause damage or be destroyed in the storm.

VIEWPOINT
Will Congress heed the warning call on hunger? Juan Carlos Ordóñez Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Column It is said that hunger is the canary in the coal mine of household economic suffering. For cash-strapped families left with only cruel choices on how to meet their basic needs, food is often the first item sacrificed. Better to skip some meals than lose the Juan Carlos a p a r t m e n t , Ordóñez the thinking goes. Right now, the canary is sending out a loud warning call. Hunger is rising rapidly. That is why the upcoming battle in Congress over the farm bill — the legislation authorizing the nation’s principal nutrition program — will have profound consequences on the wellbeing of millions of people across the nation. A recent report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture showed a big jump in the number of households experiencing food insecurity, meaning their finances made it difficult for them to obtain adequate food. In the worst of cases, some members of the family even skipped meals. The share of food insecure households in the U.S. increased from 10.5 percent in 2021 to 12.8 percent in 2022, bringing to an end a decade of slow but steady improvement. In raw numbers, some 17 million households were food insecure in 2022, about 3.5 million more than the prior year. While the Department of Agriculture report does not explore the causes for the jump in food insecurity, it’s not hard to identify the reasons. For one, the rising cost of living continues to pressure family budgets, forcing some to cut back on food. Another factor is the expiration of the enhanced federal Child Tax Credit, a policy that not only slashed child poverty in 2021, the one year it was in effect, but also bolstered food security for families with children. Besides increasing the amount of the credit and making it fully available to the lowest-paid families, the enhanced Child Tax Credit contained a feature that made it especially effective at reducing hunger. It made the benefits available in monthly installments, allowing families to use it to cover recurring expenses such as food. But just as the end of the enhanced Child Tax Credit saw child poverty return with a vengeance, its expiration is making it harder for families to put food on the table. That’s not the end of the bad news. Earlier this year, another federal program helping feed vulnerable families also expired.
During the pandemic, Congress boosted the amount of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for many families. But these so-called “emergency allotments” ended in March. With their disappearance, the average Oregonian receiving SNAP had to do with about $104 per month less in food assistance. The e ff e c t was immediate. “We saw the number of people seeking food assistance in Oregon and southwest Washington skyrocket,” said Oregon Food Bank President Susannah Morgan in her recent State of Hunger Address. And now, another threat to families struggling to put food on the table looms. The farm bill, which sets the rules for SNAP and comes up for reauthorization every five years, expired at the end of September. The pressure is now on a deeply divided Congress to pass a new farm bill. For some time now, House Republicans have been pushing to make it harder for some people to qualify for SNAP benefits by stiffening workreporting requirements. Research shows that such requirements don’t work. They don’t increase employment, in part because most SNAP participants who can work already do so. Instead, work requirements create bureaucratic hurdles that force some people to drop out. The recent chaos in Congress — the last-minute avoidance of a federal government shutdown and the ensuing, protracted saga in electing a new House speaker — don’t offer much confidence that it will heed the warning call of the canary. It doesn’t inspire confidence that it will act to relieve the economic distress so many families endure by crafting a farm bill that not only rejects cuts to SNAP, but also strengthens food assistance to meet the rising need. Nevertheless, i t ’s important to remember that not long ago, Congress put in place policies that had a decisive effect in reducing hunger across the nation. So progress is possible. But it will take all of us demanding that our elected officials do right by our nation’s most vulnerable families. h t t p s : / / oregoncapitalchronicle. c o m / 2 0 2 3 / 11 / 1 0 / w i l l congress-heed-thewarning-call-on-hunger/ O re g o n Capital Chronicle is part of States Newsroom, a network of news bureaus supported by grants and a coalition of donors as a 501c(3) public charity.

THIS THING CALLED LIFE
Think beyond the traditions
MICHELLE PIERSON YOUNG Pilot Guest Column
The holidays are full upon us and in just a moment many of us will be eating turkey regardless of our fondness for it. IT’S J U S T WHAT WE DO, OK? Beyond Michelle the traditions we do Young without even thinking, is how much we may or may not enjoy them. I found myself considering this in a conversation I had with my therapist. “I hate Christmas,” said American mom who raised her children conservatively, and with holiday magic. Therapist, “That’s funny, I’m a Jewish man and I enjoy Christmas more than you do.” (Not exactly what was said, but in the right neighborhood).
So wow. It was offensively accurate. When Offensive and accurate start a dance-off, I know there’s something I get to learn. I asked him what he liked about Christmas, and he told me about his wife bringing the holiday tree tradition into their home. He told me about driving around on Christmas Eve, reveling in the lights, the two of them holding hands, out on dark, winter nights, creating the kind of human warmth needed for the short days and long nights ahead. I compared the quiet contemplation he described to the somewhat (reads: extremely) frantic energy with which I basically attacked “the most wonderful time of the year.” I’m not attached to the idea of you keeping a “traditional” anything. Some people love this season, and some people
loathe. It’s a personal journey to be fair. In my own experience I had one very fraught year, where I habitually referred to Christmas Day as “Monday,” my young children would ask if what I really meant was Christmas. Sure, kid. Sure. I had tough circumstances to deal with, but I could have chosen some things, gotten rid of some others, and basically started over with the way I was experiencing my culture. We sometimes approach the holidays as if there’s a “right” way to keep them. There may even be a part of us that thinks we need to like turkey. Or you might be thinking, “Hey, chick. I love the holidays.” And I love that journey for you. I’d love to know about the things you dig. And to you, I would ask the question, how might you make the season even better this go
’round? Traditions are for the people, and you are one of them. If the tradition feels like an old suit, you loved back in the ’80s, maybe it’s time to let it out in a few places, update the buttons, or even go out and get a new model, one like you’ve never had before. It’s not been that many years since I first voiced how deeply stressful, I found my holiday “ways,” but over the last few years I’ve made changes and allowed my season to unfold in a way I never knew could be so delicious. No matter where you rank in the world of holiday fandom, I hope you have the same experience. I hope you surprise yourself with magic still there to be discovered.

Payroll employment drops by 4,600 STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc. Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment declined by 4,600 jobs in October, following a revised gain of 5,500 jobs in September, according to the Oregon Employment Department. October’s losses were largest in professional and business services (-1,600 jobs) and leisure and hospitality (-1,500). Three industries each cut 900 jobs: manufacturing; retail trade; and health care and social assistance. The only industry growing substantially in October was construction, which added 1,500 jobs. Professional and business services expanded slightly slower than overall employment over the past 12 months, adding 4,400 jobs, or 1.7%, compared with growth of 44,300 jobs, or 2.3%, for total nonfarm payroll employment. While most of the industry grew rapidly over this period, employment services trended downward, cutting 4,100 jobs, or 9.0%, since October 2022. Although leisure and hospitality gained 8,700
jobs, or 4.3%, in the past 12 months, the industry showed recent weakness with job declines of 300 in September and 1,500 in October.

Metro Creative Connection The state expanded child care eligibility and benefits but didn’t match that with the needed funds, officials say.
Child care program faces potential $123M shortfall, indefinite wait list GRANT SYRINGER Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article
is unlikely – funding is $38 million short. That figure excludes $13 million in federal funding the agency expects to receive. That expected funding gap would spike to $123 million if the caseload grows by 2% per month, according to a presentation by state early learning director Alyssa Chatterjee and two of her aides. Some lawmakers on the interim education subcommittee expressed concern about the budget shortfall. They also affirmed that assistance for day care is critical for families and employers in Oregon, where child care costs many families 20% of their income – if it is available at all. “We need to make this program something that can’t surprise us,” said Rep. Susan McLain, D-Hillsboro. In June, lawmakers appropriated about $113 million less for the program than what the Department of Early Learning and Care had requested. Gov. Tina Kotek, for whom early learning is a priority, called on lawmakers last month to commit at least $50 million more. It’s unclear how much funding the early learning agency will ask for during the 2024 session, which kicks off in February. Kate Gonsalves, a department spokesperson, said analysts are “still working to finalize what that number will be.” Dana Hepper, director of policy and advocacy at Children’s Institute, told the Capital Chronicle that Employment Related Day Care is “ready to grow” but needs support from lawmakers. “That is not a sustainable strategy. And we know what to do. We know we have a program that
A record number of Oregon families signed up for child care subsidies this year when eligibility was broadly expanded, but that has led to a budget shortfall that could reach $123 million. Department of Early Learning and Care officials told a legislative committee last week that they stopped taking applications Nov. 4 for the state’s Employment Related Day Care program, which helps low-income families pay for child care. The pause in applications came months after the Legislature broadened eligibility to more families and increased benefits – but it didn’t allocate enough money to pay for them, forcing the agency to create a waitlist. T h a t ’s frustrated recipients and child care advocates whose lobbying efforts failed to increase the program’s funding during this year’s legislative session. The subsidy program pays for the bulk of child care costs for low-income families earning less than 200% of the federal poverty line, which is about $3,300 for a family of two. Families receiving the benefit only pay a monthly copay, which vary by income. The average was $10 in August. Budget impact The budget deficit means the waitlist for subsidized care will probably remain in place indefinitely, barring a major investment by the Legislature in the 2024 session. Even if the program doesn’t grow beyond its current caseload of 15,600 families – which
works,” she said. Deficit driven by caseload spike During the presentation, Chatterjee told lawmakers that budgeting for the program has been difficult because it’s been impossible to project how many families would apply for subsidies under the expanded eligibility rules. She said she expected clarity to emerge in the coming months. Hepper noted that the agency’s original budget request this year may have covered the current demand had it been approved. “They might have gotten it kind of right back then,” she said. Oregon has offered Employment Related Day Care subsidies for decades, but the program’s advocates long considered the program broken because it saddled recipients with exorbitantly high copays. In 2021, lawmakers reacting to the COVID-19 child-care crisis extended the program to serve more categories of low-income families. Students became eligible, as did families with an open child welfare case, families receiving federal assistance and survivors of domestic violence. Most of those changes went into effect this year, and more are planned. The legislation also beefed up the subsidy by reducing families’ copays, which were some of the priciest in the country. The copay for an average family of three with one child in care was about $520 per month in 2019, according to a report by the National Women’s Law Center. Now, depending on monthly income, a family of that size can pay no more than about $110 per month.

Landscaping
To drive down co-pays and make the subsidy more useful for families, the state relied on about $97 million of federal American Rescue Plan Act funding. But the last of that funding will be spent within the year, Chatterjee told the Capital Chronicle last month, creating a funding “gap.” Applications for subsidies spiked in June, just after state lawmakers committed much less funding than what the agency and advocates had asked for. That month, about 11,500 families participated in the program; by October, more than 15,600 families did. However, thousands of accepted families are still waiting to connect with a child care provider who accepts the subsidy. “I’m also not surprised that we grew so quickly,” Rep. Emily McIntire, R-Eagle Point, said during the presentation. “This is something that our state has been begging for, that is long overdue.” McLain reassured Chatterjee that Employment Related Day Care is “not the first program to have a waitlist.” She noted that the state’s two grant programs for electric vehicle purchases were quickly sapped this year and closed to new applications.

With the end of the COVID-19 federal public health emergency, the state is required to review eligibility for all 1.5 million Oregonians who have Oregon Health Plan (OHP) and other Medicaid benefits. These medical renewals combined with the unprecedented levels of people applying for and receiving medical, food, cash, and child care benefits, have led to a historically high number of callers to the ONE Customer Service Center and is impacting call wait times. The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) is encouraging people in Oregon to use new alternate contact options given high call wait times at the ONE Customer Service Center. The ONE Customer Service Center provides phone support to people in Oregon calling to apply for or get help with their medical, food, cash, and child care benefits. ODHS anticipates that wait times will remain high during open enrollment season for Medicare and the Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace. While people can apply for OHP any time of year, both open enrollment events increase awareness of and interest in applying for OHP. “We know that many people in Oregon depend on us when they have questions about their medical, food, cash and child care benefits,” ODHS Oregon Eligibility Partnership ONE Customer Service Center Manager Nathan Singer said. “We are doing everything we can to provide the best customer service possible on our phones and in our offices. We encourage people to create or use their ONE Online account, the Oregon ONE Mobile app or online chat bot when possible.” OHP members are encouraged to respond as quickly as possible after they receive a request for information to avoid any possible delays.

OBITUARIES Allan Terrett
10/7/1946 - 11/1/2023 Gold Beach — Allan Terrett, age 77, from Gold Beach, OR, passed away on November 1, 2023, after a long, hardfought battle for the past 7 years. Born an only child to his parents (predeceased), Maurice and Elsie (Parmenter), in New Castle, England on October 7, 1946. Allan was raised in London, England. Allan attended The University of London to become a Bespoke tailor. He owned his own shop in Herefordshire, England. He had the privilege of making custom suits for the likes of Tom Jones, The Bee Gees, and many more. In the summer of 1968, while traveling through Rimini, Italy, with his best friend John Allender, they heard the devastating news of Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination. Using his typical English wit and charm,
“Casanova” saw an opportunity to console a beautiful American woman, Robin (Gale), who just so happened to be traveling through Europe with her friends. Robin could not resist, and the rest was history. They married on December 27, 1969, in Salam, OR. They lived in England for 5 years before deciding to move across the pond in 1975 to join Robin’s father, National Basketball Hall of Famer “Laddie” Gale, in Gold Beach, OR. Allan went to work for Laddie at Sportsman’s Reality, Inc. until 1981 when he took over the firm. Allan became a US Citizen in 1979. In 1981 Maurice and Elsie moved to Gold Beach to join Allan and Robin and their growing family. It did not take long for Allan to become a respected member of the Gold Beach community. He was heavily involved in Rotary and the Rotary Exchange Youth Exchange Program. Allan was on the School Board, Real Estate Board, and was a member of the Lutheran Church. Anyone who knew Allan loved Allan. He was always the life of the party. His love for family, friends, and the Rogue River created many, many memories that will live on in our
hearts forever. Allan is survived by his beautiful wife of 54 years, Robin (Gale), his three most precious gifts, Chelsea (Tom), Carley (Ed), Lindsay (Nathan), five adoring grandchildren, Alex (27), Brayden (21), Sydney (20), Jericho (8), and Bronson (6). He will be forever missed by his fur babies Riffle and Kimball, and too many fur grandbabies to list. Join us on December 16, 2023, 11am, at Bethany Lutheran Church for a Celebration of Life. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Curry Health Foundation in Allan’s memory. www. curryhealthfoundation.com.

Tribes urge investigation of tire toxin linked to fish deaths ALEX BAUMHARDT Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article
For several decades, many coho salmon returning to waterways around Seattle to spawn have died mysteriously following heavy rains. In some urban streams, nearly all of the coho returning from the ocean died. It wasn’t until 2021 that scientists figured out what was behind what they called “urban runoff mortality syndrome,” and it was not until this month that federal regulators at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) moved to do something about it. The EPA on Nov. 2 said it would consider an August petition from the Californiabased Yurok Tribe and the Washington-based Port Gamble S’Klallam and Puyallup tribes, calling for a ban of the chemical 6PPDq. It’s used in car tires to keep them from cracking
and degrading, but as tires wear down, they shed particles containing the chemical into stormwater and streams. Even small amounts of 6PPD-q in a stream can cause salmon to become disoriented and die within hours, scientists have found. The chemical has not been as big of an issue elsewhere, but officials worry it could become a problem. Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum and the attorneys general of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington also submitted comments to the EPA in October supporting the petition. They said the tire-related pollution risks billions of dollars of state and federal money and decades of work spent on fish habitat and passage in the Northwest. “The restored aquatic habitat is only as good as the water flowing through it,” they wrote. EPA officials will spend
the next year gathering information that could shape new regulations or a ban on the chemical, according to a news release. Agency officials acknowledged data showing 6PPD-q is toxic to fish, but they said there still uncertainty about how much harm the chemical is causing – to fish and potentially people, the new release said. In Oregon, there have not been large fish die-offs attributable to the chemical, according to Shaun Clements, deputy director of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The state’s Department of Environmental Quality will begin testing for 6PPD-q in waterways following EPA guidance, Clements said. Any watershed receiving significant runoff from roads and highways is at risk from 6PPD-q pollution, the state attorneys general said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Barron’s
Administration Northwest Fisheries Science Center has determined that within a few decades, coho salmon in urban watersheds could become extinct. Coho have been the species the most sensitive to the chemical, but steelhead and trout are also susceptible, according to scientists. On Nov. 8, two San Francisco-based nonprofit fishing groups, along with the environmental legal advocacy group Earthjustice, sued major
from more than 2,000 other chemicals found in Puget Sound waters during three years of testing.

T.S. No. 23004776-1 CA APN: 122-260-006-000 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE’S SALE YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED 09/12/2006. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale. Trustor: SHARON A. WOLD, AN UNMARRIED WOMAN Duly Appointed Trustee: ZBS Law, LLP Deed of Trust Recorded on 10/20/2006, as Instrument No. 20067105 of Official Records of Del Norte County, California; Date of Sale: 11/29/2023 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the steps of the County Recorders office, 981 H St. Crescent City, CA 95531 Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $43,873.58 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed. Street Address or other common designation of real property: 211 SALMON BERRY CTCRESCENT CITY, CA 95531-5114 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust. A.P.N #.: 122-260-006-000 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title
to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com using the file number assigned to this case 23004776-1 CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: 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 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub. com using the file number assigned to this case 23004776-1 CA 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.

Human trafficking remains a modern day problem abducted, but I saw Survivor shares never first-hand what (the sex industry) did to my family.” her story She is hope in its purest RODNEY HARWOOD Country Media, Inc. Not every lining is silver, not every ending happy. But where there is awareness, there is hope and where there is hope, there is the opportunity to change the world. The idea that human trafficking doesn’t happen in your community, doesn’t happen in this day and age, doesn’t happen in rural communities or on the coast by the sea is as far from reality as winning the lottery by wishing it so. Here in the United States, both U.S. residents and foreign nationals are being bought and sold like modern-day slaves. Traffickers use violence, manipulation, false promises of wellpaying jobs or romantic relationships to exploit victims. Christina Causey thought about it for a minute. She is one that can truthfully say she has walked a mile in the shoes of those who have been exploited. “I think it’s healing to tell my story,” she said. “I’ve been there. I’ve been sexually abused, and maybe it helps someone else somehow.” Causey is a survivor, an overcomer, since birth. She was born to a 14-yearold sexually exploited child, whose own mother (Christina’s grandmother) got her into “the life.” Despite the odds of being a biracial child and abandoned to the system, the generational cycle of abuse and commercial sexual exploitation in her family ended with Christina. “I got out by the skin of my teeth. Sometimes it takes six or seven times for someone to break the cycle. But you have to keep pushing, keep trying,” the board member at the Portland non-profit group Bridging the Gap said. “I was alone and suicidal at six or seven. I was exhibiting high-risk behaviors. I was so out of control. Sometimes I thought I was just born to suffer. But I got out only by the grace of God.” There were no role models in her life, just a mother and grandmother caught up in a downward cycle, she said. Counselors didn’t understand. Overworked social workers did the best they could. She was just an exposed little girl. “My mother was actually in Foster Care when she got pregnant with me. When I was born, we both went into Foster Care together,” said Causey, who is now 38. “Mom ran off and I eventually went through Foster Care alone until I was adopted. “Foster Care was a pretty negative experience. Even when I was adopted, there was sexual abuse. I was
form - a role model and magnet for the girls and women she mentors through trauma recovery. She has quite literally walked in their shoes and come out the other side. She got married in 2011 and has six boys, ranging from 18 to five years old. “When you come through the system, you tend to grow up in an alternate reality. I was scared to death of hard drugs, but I started drinking excessively by the time I was 20,” she said. “So, when I talk to people, I tell them it’s about breaking cycles. There is so much media access anymore. I tell them not focus on the negative and what can’t be done and to try and find something positive they can hold onto rather than falling into just another form of addiction.” Exploiting vulnerable
the
most
Human trafficking exploits the most vulnerable in society without regard to age, gender, race or religious background. Women are often used for sexual exploitation, while men are usually used for forced labor. “They use their vulnerabilities against them,” said Lizzie Martinez, Trafficking Intervention Task Force coordinator of Lincoln County. “They prey on dreams.” Abduction not in the form of snatch and grab off the streets where victims end up being shipped overseas to live out their lives in a Saudi palace. Chat rooms, social media, targeted hash tags and emails are the tools of the trade, luring the young and impressionable into what often leads to prostitution or migrant workers, domestic, restaurant, or factory workers with little or no pay. Starting point The starting point, said Martinez, who is the Trafficking Intervention Task Force Coordinator at the Children’s Advocacy Center of Lincoln County, goes back to identifying “What is human trafficking?” By definition, human trafficking is a violation of human rights, involving force, coercion, or fraud to exploit a person into slave labor or sexual exploitation. “I wouldn’t say it’s always the case, but domestic trafficking is so prevalent. A lot of times the focus is on international trafficking, but it’s happening right here in our community,” said Martinez. “The reason we have the task force in Oregon is because our population is so widely mixed. “It’s not just an innercity issue, it happens in rural communities. It’s not always about the sex
trade, trafficking happens in response to forced labor into the agriculture industry or charter fishing. It’s basically the exploitation of people against their will by leveraging their vulnerabilities.” According to Oregon National Trafficking Hotline statistics, the human trafficking hotline has received 4,103 signals since its inception in 2007. It is estimated that 199,000 incidents occur in the United States every year. Valuable tool Education is one of the most valuable tools in the fight. Chapel by the Sea Presbyterian Church in Lincoln City sponsored educational seminars on Oct. 19-20 for members of the congregation and another for the hotel service community to help employees understand the dynamics of sex trafficking. Retired Portland police officer Mike Gallagher was on the job nearly 30 years, serving the last 11 years in the Sex Trafficking Unit. He founded Bridging The Gap in January 2014. Having seen the devastation caused when an individual is forced into

a life of sexual exploitation, he has worked to establish relationships with victimadvocate groups, the district attorney’s office, churches, hotels, and other community partners to systemically confront sex trafficking. The job now includes conducting vital training to help educate the public. The topics of his Lincoln City discussion included: Dynamics of sex trafficking Signs someone is being trafficked Steps to take if you believe someone is being trafficked How to prevent trafficking at your location Additional training resources for hotel and restaurant staff “Anybody can go down this path,” Gallagher said. “Traffickers find out what they want and they exploit that. Girls come from Christian homes, they’re Hispanic, Asian, Anglo. They come from homes where they are well off, from inner cities. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry, so it’s not just one demographic. “One of the signs is showing up with things they can’t really afford
with no explanation where it came from. Traffickers have a way of finding out what they want and using that against them.” Some of the physical indicators might include bruising or burns; dental issues; substance abuse, unexplainable injuries or unaddressed medical issues. Behavior indicators, Gallagher said, include confusing or conflicting stories; fear of appointments taking longer than expected; inability to focus or concentrate or protecting the person who hurt them, minimizing the abuse. “When I was putting together my presentation I typed in escort services for Lincoln City. I think there were 15 ads on the Oregon Coast,” Gallagher said. “That’s why I like to do training in small communities so people understand this is happening everywhere. “Traffickers work on social media. You can literally post online through hash tags. They don’t come into town to recruit. The bigger cities, they might target area. They might see someone at the strip mall that looks vulnerable. But it’s mostly through social
media.” Senior Director of Operations for VIP Hospitality Group Diana Steinman said the training session at Surfland Hotel was extremely informative for her staff, which ranged anywhere from managers to front desk employees to house-keeping staff. “From our perspective, it is really important to educate our employees to the dangers in sex trafficking. But most importantly, it is identifying potential trafficking,” she said. “It’s really important to train our employees the different methods of identifying situations and what to look for and what to do if they suspect something is wrong. “The biggest thing people in our area need to understand is that trafficking is not just happening in big cities. It can happen anywhere, so Mike’s presentation was very informative in helping us keep our properties safe.” If you suspect human trafficking, or are a victim of human trafficking, call the National Human Trafficking Hotline, at 1-888-3737-888, or text, BEFREE (233733).

Study reveals who is using opioids in rural areas BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article
are not providing this kind of addiction care,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Dan Hoover, an assistant professor of medicine at Oregon Health & Science University’s School of Medicine. “In a broader sense, our correctional institutions have a mandate to rehabilitate people who have entered the system — and treating addiction is a huge part of that.” Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University and from nine other states – Illinois, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont – participated in the study, which was published Thursday in the journal JAMA Network Open. The study relied upon data from the Rural Opioid Initiative, a research consortium. In Oregon, much of the attention on drug addiction is through the lens of Measure 110, which
Almost half of people in rural areas who use illicit drugs were in prison or jail in the last six months, according to a new national study. The study surveyed nearly 3,000 people in rural areas spanning 10 states, including Oregon, who use illicit drugs including fentanyl, heroin and other opioids. Within the group, 42% were in prison or jail within the past six months. The study suggests the nation – and Oregon – should do more to reach and treat people for drug addiction while they are incarcerated and in custody. The findings come as Oregon is in the midst of an opioid addiction crisis and hundreds of Oregonians are dying every year from overdoses. “You have a reachable time in jails, and most jails
Fast Fact A national study shows nearly half of people in rural areas who use illicit drugs often were incarcerated recently, including in Oregon. voters passed in 2020 to decriminalize possession of small amounts of hard drugs and put cannabis revenue toward addiction treatment and services. Since then, concerns have mounted about public drug use and rising drug overdoses. Gov. Tina Kotek and Oregon lawmakers say Oregon’s addiction crisis will be front and center during the 2024 session as the state looks for ways to help addicts get treatment, keep public areas safe and prosecute drug dealers. The study’s participants were surveyed between January 2018 and March 2020, before Measure 110 passed. And the study’s findings offer lessons for Oregon,
Hoover said. “There is an incredibly large mismatch really between where the medical need in jails is for substance use disorder care, and then how available that is and how funded that is,” Hoover said. “That’s something that we really need to do something about.” Hoover said Oregon’s system could take several steps to address the problem, including prioritizing funding and partnering with providers, with a focus on getting treatment inside facilities. “We need the leadership inside the correction system to say that that’s a high priority,” he said. More than half of
Hoover said. Drugs continue to be a challenge as incarcerated people with addiction problems enter jails on other charges, like property crimes. “Substance use disorder is still in our jails,” Hoover said. “We did not come anywhere close to eliminating the need for substance use disorder treatment in our jails. It’s just a persistent need that will be there. And we definitely want to respond the best way we can.”
about 12,000 inmates in Oregon’s state prisons have an addiction or drug use problem, according to a 2022 state report of the state’s addiction treatment services and gaps in coverage. But only about 9% of inmates who need treatment receive it while in custody, according to legislative testimony the Oregon Department of Corrections submitted in March when lawmakers considered a bill to expand access to treatment. That bill died. County officials, Hoover said, also have a role to play and can direct funding, including opioid settlement funds, toward their jails. Incarceration without treatment does not serve people, Hoover said. When incarcerated people have withdrawal symptoms without treatment, they will be more vulnerable to begin using drugs and reoffend when they are released,

Recovery program helps hundreds affected by 2020 fires BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article
More than 1,100 Oregon households have received help from a $150 million wildfire recovery program the state set up after residents lost their homes during the devastating 2020 Labor Day fires. Three years later, the area is still recovering from the wildfires, which burned more than 1 million acres and destroyed or heavily damaged more than 4,300 homes in an eight-county region of Oregon. A full recovery is still years away. Since the fall of 2021, the Oregon Housing & Community Services agency has used or committed all $150 million for the wildfire recovery program that lawmakers appropriated to help Oregonians obtain temporary housing, receive a new home, or find affordable housing, the agency said in a state report released Monday. The final report focuses on $35.3 million of the money, which has helped 1,146 households with
temporary assistance, a full recovery or both. Of that group, 867 households fully recovered from the wildfires, usually with the construction of a home or the purchase of one. There also were 450 households that received temporary housing, such as short-term rentals or motel rooms and other housing assistance. “Thanks to a tremendous amount of work by our local partners, over a thousand families were served, including hundreds who were able to achieve full recovery,” Lauren Dressen, chief recovery officer of the housing agency’s Disaster Recovery and Resilience Division, said in a statement. The remaining $114.7 million in the fund is for affordable housing projects in Jackson, Lincoln, Lane and Marion counties, the four counties hardest hit by the wildfires, the report said. Officials expect that to pay for more than 400 new housing units. Needs remain State planners estimated that residents have nearly

More than 4,300 homes were destroyed or heavily damaged. $1.9 billion in unmet needs after the 2020 fires. The $150 million was “never intended to address all needs,” but was intended to provide immediate help, the report said. The wildfires hit southern Oregon’s affordable housing market hard. Rep. Pam Marsh, D-Ashland, said her district lost about 1,500 manufactured homes or recreational vehicles in the fires, with 19 mobile home parks destroyed.
About 2,500 homes in her southern Jackson County district were destroyed. Many in those homes were retirees or workingclass people with modest incomes, Marsh said. “The only way those families get rehoused in the community is with significant public investment,” Marsh said. Marsh said projects are starting to come online. But the planning and permitting takes time, she said, adding

that in a couple years, the state-funded projects should be finished or in construction. “I think two years from now we’ll be looking at what’s there on the ground, and we’ll have a pretty good measure of what we’ve been able to bring back,” Marsh said. But for now, people are still living in motel rooms, camping in recreational vehicles, and waiting for more housing to become available. “We know people have left the area,” Marsh said. “We know anecdotally people are living with multiple families in a small unit. We know they’re camping in RVs in somebody’s driveway. But it’s really hard to put numbers with those anecdotes. You know, in many cases we have had to face the fact that we are not going to bring back some of our neighbors because they just needed to start life someplace else.”
are paying for another 569 homes, including some that will be ready in 2024 and 2025. They include Renaissance Flats, a 72unit affordable housing development that opened last month in Jackson County. Additionally, Oregon officials are planning how to spend $422 million of federal disaster recovery funds, which was awarded to the state in 2021. That plan includes a housing replacement program for homeowners who lost their homes in the fires and a new home ownership program for renters. Officials with the homeowner assistance program expect to start taking applications in early 2024.

Rescue Continued from Page 1 it appears the signs are effective, according to the OPRD. “But even one death is too many,” OPRD officials stated. “We continue to evaluate the most effective ways to communicate hazards to the public, including online on our website, through stories in the media, and on social media.” A day at the coast is longrunning Oregon tradition but the OPRD urges visitors to approach their coast trip just like they would any other outdoor recreation activity: safety first! Wa t c h out for sneaker waves Always keep one eye on the ocean so you won’t be caught off guard if a bigger wave surges up the beach. These “sneaker waves” are unpredictable, powerful and can easily knock adults off their feet. Hike like a pro Be careful on rocks and near cliffs. Rocks can be slippery, and cliffs can be unstable due to erosion. Stay on marked trails and don’t climb over fences or other barriers. Trails are carefully planned by park rangers and barriers are
there to keep you safe. Watch for falling rocks Avoid walking along the base of cliffs or eroding bluffs. Chunks of cliff or rocks can fall at any time; areas with overhangs and caves are especially dangerous. Do not dig in cliffs or bluffs. Maintain a safe campfire Beach campfires may be started on open sand, away from driftwood or vegetation. Check online for seasonal fire restrictions. Use water to extinguish your fire, not sand. Pour water around the base of the fire pit, not directly on hot coals. Avoid logs on the beach Stay away from logs on the beach or in the surf. The logs absorb water like sponges, increasing their weight by up to several tons. The ocean is strong enough to pick up even the heaviest log and roll it over you. Know the tides Know when the tide is coming in, especially when exploring tidepools or secluded beaches. Incoming tides can quickly leave you stranded away from shore. Be extra careful during extreme high or low tides and storms. Oregon tide times are posted at tide
Council Continued from Page 1 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 Brookings city manager prompted them to file the recall petitions. Triglia’s petition to recall Mayor 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, “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 the recall as based on Hedenskog, Schreiber and Morosky each voting to reinstate Howard as city manager after she was arrested on 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,” the petitioners stated. The city’s charter declares “A vacancy in the council shall be filled within 60 days by: • Appointment by a majority of the council. • Special election when the number of vacancies in the council exceeds the number of members holding office.” Follow this developing story at currypilot.com and in the Wednesday print editions of The Pilot.
