Baby orca’s body now contributing to science BREE LAUGHLIN Country Media, Inc.
A
deceased newborn orca that washed ashore on a beach in Brookings six years ago is now contributing to marine education through a local exhibit at the Charleston Marine Life Center in Coos Bay. The six-foot long baby orca skeleton was placed alongside a full-grown female orca skeleton. The two marine mammals are now “swimming” together and greeting visitors as they enter through the doors of the Charleston Marine Life Center. The CMLC is the public outreach center of the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, the University of Oregon’s marine biology research and teaching field station. Shortly after the infant orca was found, scientists performed a necropsy to find out how it died. They learned that the newborn orca had air in its lungs, but it did not have any milk in its stomach. They hypothesize that the orca got separated from its mother shortly after birth, and that it was about two days old when it died. After the necropsy, scientists decided to preserve the skeleton so others could learn more about the difference between adult and baby orca skeletons. It took a team of marine biologists and community and student volunteers about five years to
complete the process of decomposing and then piecing together the whale skeleton for the exhibit. “It is not common to have a baby orca skeleton – and baby skeletons are different from adult skeletons – so this was a very important opportunity to learn about what newborn whale skeletons look like,” said Trish Mace, the director of the Charleston Marine Life Center. It was a time-consuming process, not only because orca skeletons contain many bones, but also because infant whale skeletons aren’t fully formed, Mace said. Figure out as you go process There was no simple blueprint to follow. Nancy Treneman, a research associate and instructor at OIMB, took the lead in recreating the skeleton. The infant cetacean was still in the process of developing its bones so many were still cartilage and had not yet ossified, she said. She and her team used epoxies and acrylics to fill in the blank spaces that were cartilage. Also, because the infant whale bones were so small compared to an adult, it took some creativity to fuse the delicate pieces together and support the skeleton.
Bree Laughlin / Country Media, Inc. The baby orca skeleton and a full-grown female orca skeleton greet visitors as they enter the Charleston Marine Life Center. In some ways it was a figure-it-out as you go process, Treneman said. But the meticulous team took their time to do it as accurately as possible. While the death of an infant whale isn’t something anyone wants to see, the silver lining is that many have already learned and will continue to learn from it. “Orcas, it seems, are e v e r y b o d y ’s favorite marine mammals. They are romanticized in some ways. But they’re also a top apex predator in the ocean. They have no natural predators. They are really intelligent and they’re social,” Treneman said. There is still a lot to learn about orcas, so it is special to be able to give visitors to the
Marine Life Center an up-close view of the skeleton, she said. Impressive collection The orca exhibit now adds to the impressive collection of exhibits at the Charleston Marine Life Center. The center is part museum, part aquarium, and is open to the public Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Children and students are free, adults are $5 and senior entry is $4. It is located at 63466 Boat Basin Road in Charleston. “For locals who come in, they are getting to know their own backyard, in essence,” Marine Life Center director Mace said. “I think we have a lot more
diversity of marine life here than most people realize,” she said. Exhibits at the marine life center include tanks that hold live sea creatures, fish and other marine life that have been preserved, as well as sea turtle and marine mammal skeletons. There are also many interactive exhibits and views of the Charleston Marina and the bay. It is illegal to collect marine mammal bones without a permit. If anyone comes upon a stranded marine mammal, dead or alive, they should report it the West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network Hotline at 1-866-767-6114. The Charleston Marine Life Center can be reached at 541346-7280.
‘Breaking the Cycle’ of Oregon’s Domestic Violence STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc. Oregon needs an integrated, over-arching strategy to best combat domestic violence, according to the Oregon Audits Division. The division has released an advisory report assessing Oregon’s role in addressing this issue and offering suggestions for Courtesy photo improvement. Domestic violence is behavior that one partner uses to control the other, according to the audit. It can include Definition physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, as well as threats and economic control.

and 1 in 4 men, have been physically abused by an intimate partner. In Oregon, over a third of adults experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. “Domestic violence is pervasive, immensely harmful, and often fatal,” Oregon Audits Director Kip Memmott said. “This is an area where state government can do more to help. As auditors, we are uniquely positioned to provide state leaders with information and offer potential solutions on critical issues of public health and safety.” Because domestic violence seeps into every aspect of a victim’s life, Memmott said services to help must be similarly wide-ranging: emergency housing, assistance
navigating the legal system, childcare, mental health care, and more. She said best practices require addressing domestic violence with an integrated approach. Memmott said services to prevent domestic violence in the first place are critical. It is equally important victims and survivors are able to protect themselves from abuse that has already occurred by quickly and easily accessing the wideranging services that are available. However, multiple barriers stand in the way of access. What the review found Victims and survivors face multiple barriers to accessing community services and navigating the
justice system. Systemic social welfare issues, such as the lack of available housing or access to services like childcare, mental health care, and legal assistance often translate to urgent unmet needs for domestic violence victims. Oregon advocates report fragmented and under-resourced social services and complex criminal and civil justice systems contribute to access issues. Domestic violence service providers face high administrative burdens, staffing issues, and challenges expanding equitable outreach, prevention, and intervention services.

Coos Bay man arrested for SHERIFF’S TIPS OF THE WEEK attempted murder, kidnapping Be aware of pets’ STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.
Coos Bay Police Department (CBPD) officials report a Coos Bay man has been arrested on attempted murder and kidnapping charges. The arrest follows an attack and stabbing near the area of John Topits Park in the Empire Lakes area of in Coos Bay, according to investigators. At about 5:37 p.m. Friday, Oct. 27, Coos Bay Police responded to a 9-1-1 call from a man reporting that he had been attacked and stabbed near the area
of John Topits Park. Officers gathered additional information that the man had been attacked along with his girlfriend and that the suspect had tried to kidnap the woman prior to the stabbing. The victims identified the suspect as 40-year-old Brian Springer of Coos Bay, an estranged boyfriend of one of the victims. Officers from the CBPD, aided by officers from other local law enforcement agencies, responded to search the area. Officers set up a perimeter, and a Coos County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) K9 responded to
aid tracking the suspect. At about 5:55 p.m., a CCSO deputy helping with the search spotted Springer on the Southwestern Oregon Community College (SOCC) campus. He fled from the deputy, and the CBPD asked that the SOCC campus be placed on lockdown. Springer was located at the campus parking lot a short time later and arrested by CBPD officers. Springer was transported to and lodged at the Coos County Jail on charges of Assault 2, Attempted M u r d e r, Attempted Kidnapping, Menacing,
Coercion and Unlawful use of a Weapon. Prior to this case, officers had been searching for Springer and held probable cause for his arrest in relation to several other cases. Those charges include Attempted Burglary 1, Attempted Criminal Mischief 2, Burglary 2, Theft 2, Identity Theft and Giving False Information to a Police Officer. Warrants include Failure to Appear on Original Charge of Assault 4, three counts of Telephonic Harassment, and Failure to Appear on original charge of Discarding Refuse within 100 feet of State Waters.
Dam operators now face water pollution fines, millions for fish ALEX BAUMHARDT Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article The operators of Winchester Dam in Oregon face more than $134,000 in fines for water violations on top of $27.6 million for killing lamprey The operators of a southern Oregon dam and the company that repaired it face additional fines for violating state permits and polluting the North Umpqua River near Roseburg. The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality fined the Winchester Water Control District and the foundation repair company TerraFirma on Thursday more than $134,000 for violating a key state water permit and water quality laws while repairs were underway on the Winchester Dam in August and September. The agency said the water district and company allowed concrete to spill into the river, placed unpermitted mats made of heavy truck tires in the river, potentially polluting it, and failed to provide safe passage for migrating fish. The North Umpqua is home to endangered and threatened salmon and home to lamprey significant to the nearby Cow Creek Band of the Umpqua Tribe of Indians. The Winchester Dam is also upriver from a key drinking water source for the city of Roseburg and the Umpqua Basin Water Association. The latest fines come on top of a near-record fine from the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife for $27.6 million for causing the preventable deaths of more than half a million juvenile lamprey. The department alleged the company, and the water district poorly executed a fish salvage plan when they drew down a reservoir, ultimately leaving the lamprey exposed and dying for days. Ryan Beckley is owner and president of TerraFirma and president of the Winchester Water Control District. He is named in the penalties from the environmental and wildlife agencies and told the Capital Chronicle via email that he plans to appeal the fines. Latest fines The latest fines from state environmental officials were split into two separate penalties. One, for $106,778, is for at least 10 violations of a state water permit. These include failure to control erosion and sediment, failure to maintain fish passage, exceeding the permitted amount of time to work in the water, spilling concrete into the river and failure to report that spillage. The other fine, for $27,600, is for allowing uncured concrete – concrete not left to set for 24 hours or more – into the river and for using heavy-duty tire mats to make a temporary access road and platform in the river, potentially leaching chemicals and microplastics into the water. Despite environmental officials demanding the mats be removed, water district

Fast Facts The operators of Winchester Dam in Oregon face more than $134,000 in fines for water violations on top of $27.6 million for killing lamprey employees and contractors continued to use them for weeks. DEQ characterized this conduct as “flagrant” and “unlawful.” The bulk of the latest violations are Class I, the state’s worst violation classification, but rated “moderate” for the magnitude of impact. Winchester Dam The Winchester Dam was built in 1890 and is made of wood and cement. A former hydropower dam owned by PacifiCorp, it was given for free to more than 100 residents in the late 1960s to enjoy the 1.7-mile-long reservoir as a private lake. Residents are members of the water district, which is responsible for maintenance. But repairs in recent years have gone awry,
including an emergency fish salvage in 2013 and fines in 2018 when concrete got into the water during repairs. The latest problems have ignited a renewed sense of urgency among environmental groups that have long wanted the dam removed. Doing so would reconnect 160 miles of North Umpqua River and allow unimpeded movement for native migratory fish.

sure that ice is not building up between the toes and that salt or gravel from the roads is not irritating the skin. If your dog is a swimmer, keep them on a leash around open water or unstable ice. Hypothermia can set in quickly and your dog may be unable to get out of the water. Before you start your car, ensure no kitties have decided to nap in a warm spot by honking the horn or banging on the hood. If you are decorating for the holidays, keep ornaments out of the reach of your pets. Remember that poinsettias, holly, mistletoe, and other plants can be toxic if ingested. Ingesting anti-freeze can be fatal for your dog or cat. It has a sweet taste and even a tiny amount can cause severe kidney damage and even death. You can use a pet-safe antifreeze and look for brands containing propylene glycol instead of ethylene glycol. If you spill anti-freeze, soak it up immediately. (Clay kitty litter works well and discard the litter once the anti-freeze has been absorbed.)
Te m p e r a t u r e s are dropping and fall will soon turn into winter. Winter is a time we should pay close attention to the safety of our pets. Here are safety tips to follow: With the change in weather, it’s a good t i m e to monitor your pet’s food intake. Pets who live outdoors should be fed a bit more in the winter because they need the extra calories to stay warm. Indoor pets typically receive less exercise during cold weather and may require fewer calories. Oregon law requires all companion animals be provided shelter from the elements. They also should have fresh water put out a couple of times a day or consider a special bowl that prevents the water from freezing. In severe weather, allow your pet in your house or garage. If your pet goes outdoors, be aware of the temperature. Pets can get frostbite very easily on the ears, tail, and paws. When walking your dog in freezing conditions, check the paws to make

Dam removal projects expected to help salmon The world’s largest dam removal and restoration project currently underway on the Klamath River in Oregon and California will aid salmon populations that have been devastated by disease and other factors. However, it will not fully alleviate challenges faced by the species, a team of researchers conclude in a just-published paper. “The dam removals will likely go a long
way towards restoring balance in the river,” said Sascha Hallett, a fish parasitologist at Oregon State University who has studied the river for two decades. “Certainly under certain circumstances there are going to be disease outbreaks, like with people and pathogens. But we envision that they are not going to be as large and not going to be as frequent as we have observed in the past.” Michael Belchik, a fisheries biologist with the
Yurok Tribe in California and co-author of the paper, said he thinks there will be noticeable gains for fish shortly after the dams are removed. “I think you are going to see fish accessing new habitat right away, and that is going to be a cause for celebration,” said Belchik, who has worked for the Tribe since 1995. In the paper, published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Hallett and a team of researchers from Oregon State, Tribes in

SEAN NEALON Pilot Guest Article
Michael Belchik, Yurok Tribe fisheries biologist
Oregon and California, and state and federal agencies outlined their predictions for salmon disease risk in the Klamath River following the removal of four hydroelectric dams. They also provide post-dam removal research and monitoring recommendations and insights to aid habitat restoration efforts. One of the four dams was removed earlier this year, and the other three are slated to be taken down in early 2024. Removal of the dams will result in restoration of habitat originally altered more than 100 years ago with construction of the first dam. The Klamath River runs more than 250 miles from Oregon’s high desert interior through the Cascade Mountains before entering the Pacific Ocean in northern California.
It has broad ecological, cultural, recreational and economic relevance. The river was once the third largest salmon-producing river on the West Coast. Those salmon served as the foundation of life and culture for Tribes living along the river. Construction of the dams in the early-to-mid-20th century blocked access for salmon and other fish species to hundreds of miles of habitat and created barriers that led to increases in pathogens deadly to the fish. This dynamic received widespread attention in 2002 when there was a dieoff of tens of thousands of chinook salmon in the Klamath River. Shortly after this event, Jerri Bartholomew, an Oregon State microbiologist who works with Hallett, started

Sixes River a n g l i n g closure lifted The Sixes River low flow angling closure has been lifted, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW). A portion of the river to angling was closed by the ODFW Oct. 1 to protect wild fall chinook salmon vulnerable to snagging or poaching while staging between Crystal Creek and Hughes House Boat Ramp. With increased flows expected, salmon will be able to migrate upstream. The angling closure was lifted Nov. 1. Anglers are reminded the bag limit for wild adult chinook in the Sixes River is one adult chinook per day, 10 for the season. Elk River, just south of Sixes River is closed to retention of wild fall chinook this year. For more angling information, check the ODFW Recreation Report with this story at currypilot. com

IN THE GARDEN
This could be a good year for mushrooms
CHIP BUBL Pilot Guest Column
Western Oregon is known for its incredibly diverse mushroom species. One scientist once estimated that we have more than 850 species. Few other locations come close. Most of the show is in the fall where cool Chip weather Bubl and good soil moisture make for flourishing fungi. Last year, we came into fall with no rain from midJune until late October. As a result the mushroom show was hit hard. The recent rain events combined with some warmth bode well for mushrooms. The most popular fall mushroom is the chanterelle. Orange chanterelles are most common but there is a white version as well. They are generally found in mixed conifer forests of Douglas fir and/or cedar with Oregon grape and sword ferns as part of the understory. I have had better luck in the Oregon grape locations, but others say that it doesn’t matter. There are many other species including truffles (https://extension. oregonstate.edu/catalog/ pub/em-9369-oregonnative-edible-truffles), the king bolete (prefers oddly the highest elevations or the beach), the wood blewit, and right now, the oyster mushroom on dying alder trees. You will need a good mushroom book (the best pocketbook is still All the Rain Promises and More by David Arora) or better yet, a good book and good friend that knows their mushrooms. Plan your garden This month is an ideal time to make notes, resolutions, and plans for next year’s garden. The mistakes of the past year (for me, too many tomatoes, some early direct seed failures with green beans, and not enough winter greens, etc.) should be countered with a plan that both corrects the errors of the past and allows room for new experiments. The notes, resolutions, and plans don’t have to be extensive. A garden notebook is very useful as a permanent record of your intentions, varieties planted (with dates), observations, and results. Finally, many gardeners don’t realize the potential for raising “small fruits” in the garden. Gooseberries, currents, blueberries, lingonberries and the trailing blackberries like Marion and Logan berries produce lots of fruit in modest space. There are two great retail nurseries in the northwest that specialize in tree fruits, small fruits and all manner of exotic fruit. You should visit their web sites to see their catalogs:
One Green World www. onegreenworld.com and Raintree Nursery www. raintreenursery.com Time to transplant
Gardeners often discover that the place they planted a tree, shrub, or herbaceous perennial isn’t the perfect location. Roses that are mildly prone to black spot might improve greatly if given more sun. Anyway, most of our plants that lose their leaves have already done so and are dormant. Evergreens like rhododendrons or needled evergreens are also dormant. The ground isn’t sopping wet yet, either. So this is the perfect time to move them if you have been thinking about it. Shallow-rooted plants like rhodies and blueberries are relatively easy to pry up. Other woody plants take more digging and root cutting to get a “root ball” that can be lifted. Those root balls get heavy, and some trees are simply not possible to move without proper equipment. Have a hole ready, cover the roots with soil, place several inches of mulch around the area and water deeply. You are done. Using manure in the garden Cow, sheep, goat, llama, alpaca, or horse manure is a great addition to any garden. It improves soil structure and supplies valuable minerals. However, there is a concern is possible transmission of disease organisms, especially the human pathogenic O57 strain of the bacteria E. coli. This strain is mostly in cow manure. Research shows that manure worked into a field in the fall and planted the following spring would not be at risk for disease. One approach is to work manure into the garden (along with some lime if you haven’t limed lately) in the fall before the rains start (get busy!) and either plant a cover crop or cover with a non-manure mulch like leaves or black plastic to preserve surface soil tilth. If you cover the bed with plastic, make sure the manure stays moist enough over the winter to compost. Periodically remove and replace the cover for some rain. Manure can still be applied to the garden surface if the ground isn’t too soft and can be left uncovered. I remain very concerned about the use of manure tea during the growing season or fresh manure applied directly to crops due to the human pathogen risks. Well-composted manure should be fine at any time. Chip Bubl may be contacted at OSU Extension office in St. Helens at 503397-3462 or at chip.bubl@ oregonstate.edu.

THIS THING CALLED LIFE
You did it so take credit for your work
MICHELLE PIERSON YOUNG Pilot Guest Column
They say well-dressed people have more confidence so maybe it was the new shoes that gave me the boost to say in my acceptance speech, “I Michelle E A R N E D this. The Young things they say I did; I did do them, and it wasn’t always easy. So, thanks. I accept this award.” I said this in a room full of people thanking everyone else. I’m into gratitude, I also thanked people, and I was also willing to do something that isn’t all that popular to do. I took credit for my own work. Maybe it was the shoes or maybe I was inspired
by Barbie in this summer’s hit, saying as she won the Nobel Peace Prize, “I’d like to thank me. I worked really hard for this.” Let’s be honest, it’s a gasp worthy thing to say in today’s society, and I will admit even more suspect under the circumstances I said it. The award I was so honored to receive, is for being in consistent support of women. The characteristics being celebrated were of a woman who is willing to stand behind other women, help her straighten her crown and applaud while she gets her attention. If I’m going to put it bluntly, it’s that as a woman, I’m clear I’m not competing with other women. So, when I’m on your team, we’re in it together. The irony of this award is that while I’ve often longed for the spotlight, I’ve felt quite uncomfortable
under it. It was about 7 years of therapy talking to stand before women, there expressly to celebrate me, and be able to accept that I deserve to be celebrated. When my daughter explained to her own little girl what the award was for, “Yaya goes around the world seeing beauty in other people, and then she teaches them how to see it in themselves,” my granddaughter responded, “I’m going to get that award someday.” (Insert Yaya’s beaming face here.) When she gets that award or has any opportunity to accept credit where it’s due, I truly hope the world has grown comfortable with the fact that in order to see beauty in others, we might want to practice accepting it in ourselves. Since I began taking credit for my good work, I have had the pleasure of receiving people’s positive
experiences of me. This, I’ve found, helps me see even more beauty in others and thus the lovely circle expands. Since you’re reading this, I’m going to give myself permission to be your coach right now. I invite you to spend a few minutes giving yourself a few Atta-Girls, Atta-Boys, Atta-Yous. I’m wondering what kindnesses you bring into the world; what magic was set loose in the form of you. Make a list, spend a moment, feel some good feels. And if you’re feeling saucy, relax back for a moment and let yourself sip on the award of knowing, “I earned this.” Mic. Drop. (Sparkly shoes recommended but certainly optional.)

Oregon adds 8,100 jobs in September
over the past year, Construction pace adding 3,900 jobs, or 1.5%. This gain was led by jobs surge management of companies STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc. Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment rose by 8,100 jobs in September, following a revised decline of 700 jobs in August. September’s over-themonth job gains were largest in construction (+3,200 jobs); professional and business services (+2,200); and leisure and hospitality (+900). Most of the other major industries were relatively flat over the month, with none cutting more than 200 jobs. Construction employment surged to another record high in September, gaining 3,200 jobs. At 119,900 jobs in September, construction is up 2,300 jobs, or 2.0%, since September 2022. Most of the gains in the past 12 months were in specialty trade contractors, which added 4,000 jobs. Meanwhile, construction of buildings had the same employment level as the prior year. Professional and business services grew at a moderate
and enterprises, which added 2,400 jobs, or 4.8%. Professional and technical services grew moderately, adding 1,600 jobs, or 1.4%. But the third component industry, administrative and waste services, was nearly flat over that period, cutting 100 jobs, or -0.1%. And within that industry, employment services was particularly weak, shedding 2,000 jobs, or -4.5%, over the past 12 months. Leisure and hospitality expanded at a consistent and rapid pace over the past 24 months. During that time, it was up 23,900 jobs, or 12.8%. Despite these rapid gains, at 210,800 jobs in September, it is still 5,700 jobs below its pre-recession peak reached in February 2020. Oregon’s unemployment rate was 3.5% in September and 3.4% in August. September was the fourth consecutive month in which Oregon’s unemployment rate was between 3.4% and 3.5%. The U.S. unemployment rate was 3.8% in both August and September.

School districts try to normalize going to school
steep declines in A b s e n t e e i s m that student comprehension in subjects during the rates are high core pandemic are beginning
to level off, as well as the number of students on track to graduate in four years. It also shows that schools are hiring more teachers and behavioral health staff to help with the recovery. But the most unmovable setback since COVID hit seems to be regular school attendance, especially for kids in the earliest grades. “We know that students aren’t benefiting from instruction when they are not in the classroom, so this is a serious concern for Oregon’s educators,” officials at the Oregon Department of Education said in a news release. Agency officials and district leaders have different hypotheses as to why regular attendance has declined so sharply.
ALEX BAUMHARDT Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article Oregon students appear to be making some progress, but state and local education leaders are concerned about high absentee rates amid new data showing a sharp decline in regular school attendance among Oregon students since the pandemic. By the numbers The number of Oregon kids regularly attending school last year dropped by nearly 20 percentage points from pre-pandemic levels, according to new data from the Oregon Department of Education. About 62% of Oregon students attended 90% or more of school days during the 2022-23 school year and nearly 40%, on average, missed at least 16 days out of 160 or more days. During the 2018-19 school year, about 80% of students attended class at least 90% of the year. Students who attend at least 90% of the time are considered to have regular attendance. Absenteeism rates are highest in kindergarten, early elementary grades and among high school seniors, according to state data and the districts. Educators say absences in the younger grades can have the most impact. Research shows students who are chronically absent in preschool, kindergarten and first grade are much less likely to read at grade level by third grade, making them four times more likely to drop out of high school than proficient readers. The data was released as part of the Oregon Department of Education’s At-A-Glance Profiles of districts, which combine state assessment test scores with other district and school health measures, such as the number of experienced teachers, school mental health staff and librarians in buildings, and the number of high school freshman who are on track to graduate in four years. The latest profiles show
‘Financial burdens’ Charlene Williams, director of the Oregon’s state education agency, said she’s hearing from districts that the rise in chronic absenteeism is due in part to students missing school days if they or a family member get COVID, as well as the loss of pandemic-era financial and housing support for families. “Those financial burdens are landing back in the laps of some of our families, and they are struggling once again in some cases with food insecurity and finding stable housing and those kinds of things,” Williams said in a news conference prior to the data release. The Capital Chronicle reached out to dozens of superintendents across the state, who echoed a common theme – the pandemic changed families’ attitudes about compulsory school attendance. To m Rogozinski, superintendent in the Warrenton Hammond School District on Oregon’s northwest coast, said the increase in absenteeism stems in part from students or family members getting COVID. But he said the biggest change is a shift in how families and students perceive the responsibility of attending school regularly. “Reentry to school every

Metro Creative Connection New state data shows nearly 40% of Oregon students missed 16 or more days of school during the 2022-23 school year. day, five days a week, has been an adjustment for kids and families and for whatever reason it feels like that old given – that we’re going to school everyday – is not as fully entrenched,” he said. More than one-third of students in kindergarten, first grade and second grade in the district were chronically absent last year, mirroring statewide absenteeism rates. Rogozinski said about 95% of absences in his district are excused. Big districts have teams that visit homes to increase attendance but Warrenton Hammond is a small district. Still, he said teachers and principals visit homes when a student has missed a significant chunk of school time to try to get them back to class. “There used to be more force with truancy laws to render a fine or a judgment,” Rogozinski said, noting that students no longer face those kinds of consequences. Several superintendents bemoaned the Legislature’s decision in 2021 to end laws allowing districts to fine parents, or to have judges and truancy courts

mandate students attend school, if they’d missed a significant number of days. G e o rg e Mendoza, superintendent in the La Grande School District in eastern Oregon said in an email that using judges and fines was not “a top tactic or strategy” for getting kids to school but that without it, “it does erode our highest levels of accountability.” During the latest legislative session, an 18-member taskforce was created to submit by September 2024 alternative ideas for boosting student attendance statewide. Rebuilding relationships In Hermiston, Superintendent Trisha Mooney said teachers and coaches in her district are trying to rebuild relationships and connections with kids that remote learning impaired. “Some kids will show up for one thing — for band, a sport, a club — that gets them coming to school. That’s the connector that gets them building those habits,” she said. “Kids have to learn that it’s important to be part of something bigger than you,
and that others are relying on you to show up. That other people are counting on you.” Administrators from the Central School District in Independence, the Beaverton School District and Willamina School District in Yamhill County said boosting regular attendance was a top priority this school year. Those districts and others are using resources linked to an initiative called Every Day Matters, spearheaded by the state department of education and funded with $6 million by the Legislature in 2016, to boost attendance. The initiative involves officials meeting with students and families to address the root causes of chronic absenteeism. Funding was paused at the onset of the pandemic but resumed this year. Districts can use the money to hire communityschool liaisons, advocates and counselors to work more closely with students and families to get kids back in class. In the Bethel School District in Eugene, superintendent Kraig Sproles said part of its strategy to boost attendance has been hiring more mental health professionals. “We have seen an increase in the number of students seeking support for issues related to anxiety and depression. We know that mental health issues not only impact student learning, but also can impact school attendance. While we have always had students who struggle with mental health, the number and severity of the issues have greatly increased,” he said in an email. In the past, mostly older students suffered anxiety and depression but he said district officials are now seeing younger students also struggle. Graduation rates The percentage of ninth graders on track to graduate within four years is nearing pre-pandemic levels. Statewide, about 84% of the class of 2026 is headed towards graduation. Several districts, including Bend-La Pine, Medford, Springfield, South Umpqua and Lebanon, made significant gains
in ninth grade on-track performance. Dan Farley, assistant superintendent of the education department’s research and data accountability office, said school administrators in those districts created teams of counselors and teachers to review student data and target gaps in credit attainment and attendance to get students on track. Some schools also hired “cultural liaisons” who speak other languages than English to work with students and their families to make sure they knew about credit and graduation requirements. Some districts also offered more classes and programs to count toward graduation requirements, as well as expanded after-school tutoring and summer school options. “They’re either expanding, adding or shifting to give students different and additional opportunities to learn,” Farley said. About 56% of Oregon’s class of 2021 enrolled in college within 16 months of graduating, down from 63% before the pandemic. That follows a national trend: Nationwide, about 62% of 2021 high school graduates enrolled in college, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. During the last decade, undergraduate enrollment in colleges nationwide has declined 15%. Williams, the new education director, said the Oregon’s Higher Education Coordinating Commission has found that tighter budgets and soaring prices in recent years and the high costs of tuition has affected college enrollment rates. “Students just really wanted to put college on pause, you know, while they could figure out their lives,” Williams said.

BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article
More than 40% of Oregon adults believe homelessness is the most important issue in the state, according to a recent survey. In August, the nonprofit, nonpartisan Oregon Values and Beliefs Center asked residents statewide about Oregon’s general direction and the most pressing problems. More than 2,700 Oregonians responded to the online survey. They were asked whether the state is headed in the right direction or on the wrong track, whether they are worried about the future and to identify the most important issues for Oregon. About 44% identified homelessness as the top issue they want elected officials in Oregon to address. In a similar survey nearly a year ago, Oregonians also identified homelessness as the top issue. “Homelessness is the biggest blip on the radar screen for Oregonians,” Amaury Vogel, the center’s associate executive director, said in a statement. “It continues to be the most important issue for every single demographic group.” An estimated 18,000 Oregonians were homeless on a single night in 2022, when the state conducted a point-in-time count of how many unsheltered people are in the state. Experts say the actual number of homeless Oregonians is likely higher, as those counts miss people without homes who are temporarily staying with friends or family, and they
may not include people camped in remote areas or homeless people who were in hospitals or jails at the time of the count. Between 2020 and 2022, Oregon’s homeless population grew by 3,304 people, an increase of nearly 23%, according to a U.S. Census report. Gov. Tina Kotek has made addressing the state’s homelessness crisis a top priority of her administration and approved $1.2 billion in new spending on homelessness and affordable housing. Tr a i l i n g beyond homelessness, 16% of Oregonians identified drug addiction and abuse as the second most important issue. And almost as many Oregonians – 15% – said housing supply and affordability are a top priority. That comes as Oregon faces a drug addiction and overdose epidemic, as fatal fentanyl overdoses have alarmed state officials and public health leaders. State lawmakers formed a new committee to address drug addiction and Measure 110, the voter-passed initiative that decriminalized possession of small amounts of hard drugs and put cannabis revenue into addiction services.

meeting about future drone rules SUBMITTED
The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) will livestream a virtual meeting at 6 p.m. Nov. 8 at 6 p.m. to present draft drone take-off and landing classification criteria to be used in future park drone use maps. The agency is also inviting the public to share their views on the criteria from through 5 p.m. Dec. 29. The meeting will be livestreamed on YouTube for the public at www.youtube.com/@ oprddirectorsoffice5783/ streams. History Currently, there are no state park rules that
specifically prohibit people from flying a drone in an Oregon state park, though Federal Aviation Authority rules apply. However, some park managers have created temporary limits on the places and times a person can use a drone to protect sensitive plants and animals as well as public and private property. “While we do get occasional complaints about drones, we also get requests from pilots about where and how they can launch and land in a state park and on the ocean shore,” OPRD spokesman Chris Havel told Country Media in a published story in January. “So, it’s not so much about responding to complaints as managing a legitimate form of recreation so it doesn’t
create conflicts or cause resource damage.” OPRD intends to create rules to provide the clarity needed for drone pilots, hobbyists and the general public to know where drone take-off and landing is allowed and prohibited.
California, the state where the company is based. More than 450 investors nationwide put $68 million into the scheme from 2017 to 2021, Oregon financial regulators said in the release. They included 11 Oregonians who invested $2.3 million. It’s unclear how much money Oregonians will recoup. At this point, the company agrees not to operate in Oregon, but the states and company are still negotiating the civil penalties and restitution. “Safeguard Metals engaged in fraudulent and deceptive practices to solicit millions of dollars
primarily from elderly and retirement-aged individuals for profit,” the division administrator TK Keen said in a statement. “As a result, customers suffered substantial losses on their retirement investments. This settlement reflects the work DFR continues to do to hold bad actors in the precious metals industry accountable to consumers.” Besides shutting down the company’s scheme, the settlement order also determined the defendants charged a markup of 51% to 71% on the precious metals, much more than what the company told its customers.
BEN BOTKIN Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Column Oregon financial regulators have reached a settlement with a precious metals dealer that allegedly targeted hundreds of elderly people in 30 states who sunk millions of dollars into overpriced silver and gold coins. The Oregon Division of Financial Regulation announced the settlement, which stems from a federal lawsuit Oregon and 29 other states filed against Safeguard Metals in the U.S. District Court’s District of Central

State using new funding to clear away abandoned vessels JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media, Inc.
PCBs and lead which pose a threat to the aquatic environment and potentially even human health,” Oregon Department of Environmental Quality Spill Contingency Planner Scott Smith said. Beyond the environmental hazards, the abandoned vessels present a myriad of safety concerns including water and navigational, according to Columbia County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Shaun McQuiddy. McQuiddy said that vessel-abandonment cases have tested officer capabilities on a state level. “These abandoned and derelict vessels have increasingly robbed our resources and time, statewide,” he said in previously published interview with The Chronicle, the Pilot’s sister publication in St. Helens.
Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) officials said they have reached a milestone in ensuring safe and healthy waterways statewide by removing the first hazardous vessel with newly approved funding. The FV Tiffany, a 200-ton former fishing vessel built in 1939, became a hazard when it sank and spilled fuel into the Columbia River near Rainer in 2021. The U.S. Coast Guard responded, cleaning up the fuel and refloating the vessel. DSL began monitoring the vessel while also seeking resources for removal. “The FV Tiffany wasn’t just an eyesore,” DSL Interim Deputy Director Chris Castelli said. “More significantly this ship was a vehicle for toxins going into the Columbia River.”
Penalties
The concerns
The penalties for vessel abandonment range from $440 on the low end to thousands of dollars on the high end. If the vessel becomes submerged, it becomes an even greater expenditure to remove the vessel that, for one boat owner, came out to a total of $55,000. The most common types
Abandoned and derelict vessels (ADVs) like the FV Tiffany often contain harmful quantities of oil, lubricant, and other toxic substances in the materials used to construct the vessel. “Some samples taken from the FV Tiffany contained high levels of

The FV Tiffany is the first waterway-polluting vessel to be removed using new funding approved by the Oregon Legislature in June. For years, DSL has been working with state, federal, and local partners to clean up and remove vessels, according to DSL Director Vicki L. Walker, who added that the collaborative efforts have resulted in removing hazardous vessels from waterways, but lack of a statewide abandoned and derelict vessel program
with dedicated funding has meant ongoing impact to the Common School Fund. Since 2017, the Common School Fund has expended $12.9 million removing commercial and recreational vessels from public waterways. “Oregon’s schoolkids foot the bill for cleaning up abandoned and derelict vessels,” Walker said. “Every dollar spent cleaning up these messes is a dollar out of the classroom. Besides shortchanging Oregon school kids, lack of dedicated resources prevented the state from being able to proactively address the ADV problem.” That changed with House
Commercial whaling’s long lasting impact felt MICHELLE KLAMPE Pilot Guest Article
“A maternal lineage is often associated with an animal’s cultural memories such as feeding and breeding locations that are passed from one generation to the next,” said the study’s lead author, Angela Sremba, who conducted the research as part of her doctoral studies at Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute. “If a maternal lineage is lost, that knowledge is likely also lost.” The findings were published recently in the Journal of Heredity. South Georgia is a remote island about 800 miles southeast of the Falkland Islands and home to several whaling stations operating from the turn of the century
Commercial whaling in the 20th century decimated populations of large whales but also appears to have had a lasting impact on the genetic diversity of today’s surviving whales, new research from Oregon State University shows. Researchers compared DNA from a collection of whale bones found on beaches near abandoned whaling stations on South Georgia Island in the south Atlantic Ocean to DNA from whales in the presentday population and found strong evidence of loss of maternal DNA lineages among blue and humpback whales.
through the 1960s. In a little over 60 years, more than 2 million whales were killed throughout the Southern Hemisphere, of which 175,000 were killed near South Georgia. Evidence of that slaughter is still present on the island, which is littered with thousands of whale bones – many 100 years old or more – that were discarded during commercial processing. Cold temperatures in the region aided in their preservation. South Atlantic whale populations have begun to recover since commercial whaling was halted, but whale sightings around South Georgia remained See WHALES, Page 11
Gut microbes found in wild wolves may be the key to alleviating a debilitating gastrointestinal condition common to domestic dogs, according to a study led by researchers at Oregon State University – Cascades. The authors report a novel strain of Paenibacillus bacteria with characteristics of a probiotic – an organism that conveys a health benefit to the host. In this case, the benefit would be to head off canine inflammatory bowel disease, a chronic illness characterized by vomiting, reduced appetite, weight loss, flatulence, a rumbling stomach and/or abdominal discomfort, said Bruce Seal of OSU-Cascades’ biology program. “At present there is no known cure for this ongoing dysbiosis of the gastrointestinal tract, and there are limited options for treatment,” Seal said. “Underlying causes of the condition include an animal’s genetics, environmental factors, the immunological state of the GI tract and, maybe most importantly, an altered gut microbiome.” A collaboration between scientists at OSU-Cascades and Oregon State’s Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine, the research is an important step toward a dietary supplement or food additive capable of steering the composition of a dog’s gut microbiome back toward that of the wolf, with which it has common ancestry.

“Dogs were the first domesticated animal,” Seal said. “The modern dog diet, high in carbohydrates, does not reflect a wolf’s diet – for example, starches in processed dog food are resistant to digestion, and that can have a negative impact on the microbial community in a dog’s GI tract and in turn its gastric physiology.” In this s t u d y, gastrointestinal material was collected from a dead wolf one day after it died from injuries sustained from being struck by a car. The scientists isolated 20 different gut bacteria that preliminary genetic analyses indicate have probiotic qualities, and for this paper they performed whole genome sequencing on a novel Paenibacillus strain. The bacterium encodes enzymes that can digest complex carbohydrates such as starches, Seal said. It also has gene systems expressing antimicrobials. “Non-toxic, sporeforming bacteria promote anti-inflammatory immune responses in the gut and inhibit pathogen growth,” he said. “Taking everything into account, this bacterial isolate could be a potential useful probiotic for
domestic dogs.” Seal added that the researchers plan to perform whole genome sequencing on four or five other bacterial species among the 20 isolates. Seal and OSU-Cascades colleagues Pat Ball, Evan Forsythe and Kristina Smith co-led the study along with former colleague Heather Broughton. The team also included OSUCascades students Jennifer McCabe, Jessika Bryant, C. Cristoph Klews, MiCayla Johnson, Ariel Atchley, Thomas Cousins, Analiska Dominguez, Marie Gabriel, Katie Middleton and Natasha Bowles. Several students were supported by the OSU Undergraduate Research, Scholarship and the Arts program and the OSU-Cascades Layman Fellowship program. Mark Ackermann and Robert Bildfell also contributed to the research while with the Carlson College of Veterinary M e d i c i n e ’s Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Corvallis.

Bill 5029, with the Oregon Legislature providing $18.8 million from the Monsanto settlement to begin removing vessels and developing a statewide program for long-term solutions. Preventing vessels from becoming hazards that contaminate water, degrade habitat, damage property, and impede navigation is a priority. The state always seeks to have vessel owners pay for cleanups and will explore options for recovering expenses incurred, currently estimated to be $1.42 million for the FV Tiffany. But focusing on prevention can help reduce the need for state-led cleanups. The state’s new Abandoned and Derelict Vessel (ADV) Workgroup, with over 20 members ranging from harbormasters to recreationalists, began meeting in September to help create a program framework, including proactive solutions. In spring 2024, DSL will present the State Land Board with a report that includes a program framework addressing prevention, response, enforcement, education and outreach, and potential long-term funding needs and sources, as well as recommendations

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.

Dams
Continued from Page 3 studying the Klamath River salmon. Salmon health is impacted by many factors, including stream-flow levels, water temperature and pathogens. Barthlomew and her colleagues focus on the pathogens. They have spent the past 20 years unraveling how a parasite known as Ceratonova shasta works in
conjunction with an aquatic worm host, Manayunkia occidentalis, which is smaller than an eyelash, to create conditions in the Klamath River that are deadly to salmon. In the paper, researchers say that increased habitat availability and longer fish migration routes created by dam removals will increase duration of pathogen exposure. However, restoration of
the river’s natural flow will decrease fish disease risk by essentially flushing out the pathogens and unclogging a pathogen hot spot that has formed below the Iron Gate Dam, about five miles south of the California-Oregon border just east of Interstate 5. The dam is slated for removal in early 2024. “There’s no question in my mind just the removal of these four dams will go a long way to knocking
back that current infection zone by shifting things in terms of time and space where the hosts and parasites overlap,” said Julie Alexander, an aquatic ecologist who works with Hallett and Barthlomew. She also cautioned that restoration efforts that will occur after dam removal need to be conducted thoughtfully. “You don’t want to go and restore a section of
river to encourage salmon to spawn somewhere we know there are worms because then you are going to create a hot spot,” Alexander said. In addition to coauthors from the Yurok Tribe, authors of the paper include scientists at the Hoopa, Klamath and Karuk Tribes, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The ongoing research by Oregon State and its partners has been supported by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
violence, according to Memmott, is largely administrative and financial. State agencies pass through federal funds, including funding from the Violence Against Women Act and the Victims of Crime Act, and administer grants like the Oregon Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence Services Fund, aimed at community-based organizations providing these critical services. But the reliance on grants comes with substantial
challenges, the audit summary states. According to advocates, direct funding to victims is often most helpful, but those types of grants are limited. Rigid grant requirements, including dictating what the money can be spent on and reporting on outcomes, can stifle efforts of resourcestrapped organizations. For example, federally funded temporary domestic violence assistance grants, a primary source of direct victim funding, only
provide up to $1,200 over a 90-day period. They are also only available for individuals who qualify for the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program and who are either taking care of a minor child or currently pregnant. The grant was originally intended to help pay emergency rent, but the amount hasn’t increased since 1997, making it insufficient to cover most current rent payments.
Because addressing domestic violence requires an integrated approach, Oregon needs a similar over-arching strategy to be successful, Memmott said. Currently, many state agencies have roles to play. Unfortunately, there is no single state agency or entity responsible for coordinating a comprehensive statewide response or measuring the overall impact of ongoing efforts, she states. Auditors have offered some suggested solutions.
Policymakers in the state should consider developing a statewide strategy to centralize resources and gather data. Legislators could add stability by making flexible state funds permanent budget items, including adjusting them for inflation, rather than addressing needs through one-time funding.
important decisions would likely be made by the city manager.”
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, is joined by Henry “Hank” Cunningham, chief petitioner to recall Schreiber, and Debra
Worth, chief petitioner to recall Morosky. All three said the reinstatement of Janell Howard as Brookings City Manager prompted them to file the recall petitions. 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, “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 flipflopped 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 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 Janell 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 Department 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.
cultural memory was lost,” said Baker, who was Sremba’s Ph.D. advisor. “The numbers of whales returning to this region today are still not large, but there is a sense that they may be rediscovering this habitat.” To better understand how whaling may have impacted the genetic diversity of today’s population, Sremba analyzed DNA extracted from bones found on South Georgia Island and compared the genetic information with
previously published data from living whales in the contemporary post-whaling population. She and colleagues identified bones of humpback, blue and fin whales, and found that while genetic diversity among the whales remains high, there are indications of a loss of maternal DNA lineages in the blue and humpback populations. Researchers were not able to detect differences in diversity between pre- and post-whaling DNA samples
from Southern Hemisphere fin whales, likely due to the limited availability of postwhaling samples. Because some whale species can live up to 100 years, there is also a chance that some of today’s whales were alive during the whaling era, said Sremba, who is now a researcher with the Cooperative Institute for Marine Ecosystem and Resources Studies at OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. As these whales die,
that could result in further loss of additional maternal lineages. This underscores the importance of preserving genetic information from the whales now, she said. “It’s remarkable these species survived. In another 100 years, we don’t know what might change, and we can’t measure any change now if we don’t have a good understanding of the past,” Sremba said. “This work provides an opportunity to reconstruct the history of these whale populations
and help us understand what was truly lost due to whaling activities.” Rising temperatures due to climate change could also lead to deterioration of the DNA in the bones on South Georgia Island, Baker said. “This work is a way to preserve this history indefinitely,” he said. The Marine Mammal Institute is part of Oregon State’s College of Agricultural Sciences and is based at Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport.

Congress to consider Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.
Oregon’s U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley has teamed up with California Rep. Jared Huffman to introduce the bicameral Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act. The legislation is described as the most comprehensive plan ever introduced in Congress to address the plastic pollution crisis that is poisoning our air, water, and land, and disproportionately impacting communities of color and low-income Americans. The legislation would reduce plastic production, establish ambitious recycling targets, and protect frontline and fenceline communities from the health and environmental burdens of toxic emissions from the plastics industry through reducing production and by changing the incentives of the industry. The bill would shift the burden of cleanup to the corporations that produce the plastics so they have financial motivation to end the burning and dumping; establish a nationwide deposit return system to address beverage container waste; support reusable and refillable systems; and strengthen environmental justice protections by including the Protecting Communities from Plastics Act, according to Merkley. “Plastic pollution is a public health crisis that can only be solved with bold actions,” Merkley said. “Additionally, plastics produce greenhouse gas emissions and release toxins throughout their entire life span, and its frontline communities who are disproportionately exposed to the dangers from plastic production. And downstream plastics are creating a massive pollutions problem for our rivers and oceans. The Break Free from
Plastic Pollution Act is the boldest legislation yet to address this crisis with the seriousness it deserves.” According to Huffman, plastic pollution isn’t just a problem for the oceans and climate – it’s a massive environmental injustice. “Communities are overburdened with plastics’ toxic air and water emissions and the false promises of so-called chemical recycling,” Huffman said. “Worse, Big Oil is aggressively promoting even more plastic – it’s how they plan to keep us addicted to planet-killing fossil fuels even as we transition to a clean energy future. We can’t let this happen. Our bill tackles the plastic pollution crisis head on, addressing the harmful climate and environmental justice impacts of this growing fossil fuel sector and moving our economy away from its overreliance on single use plastic. We must start putting people and communities over these corporations’ greed.” Merkley, who serves as the Chair of the Environment and Public Works subcommittee overseeing environmental justice and chemical safety—which has jurisdiction over the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act—has been holding a series of hearings investigating plastic production and pollution. Merkley said the hearings have examined: environmental and climate damage from plastics, impacts of plastics on environmental justice communities, reuse and refill systems, and beverage container waste – with more hearings planned in the future. According to Merkley, public polling shows that two-thirds of Americans believe that businesses that produce or use plastics in their products should pay for collecting, sorting, and
recycling plastics; 86% of Americans support requiring new plastic to contain at least some recycled material; and four-in-five Americans support phasing out certain non-recyclable plastics altogether. In recognition of Americans’ growing concerns about plastic consumption and waste management, Merkley said the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act would provide national leadership with tools and a path forward to reduce the amount of wasteful plastic produced and reform our broken waste and recycling systems. The bill would shift the burden of cleanup and waste management to where it belongs — on the corporations that produce this waste — by: Requiring big corporations to take responsibility for their pollution. Establishing aggressive source reduction targets for single-use plastic products and beverage containers. Creating a nationwide beverage container refund program, which has been successful in 10 states. Reducing and banning certain single-use plastic products that are not recyclable. Establishing grant programs to support reusable and refillable products. Pressing pause on new plastic facilities until critical environment justice and health protections are put in place. Merkley said this year’s legislation is strengthened by including: New mandates for performance targets, including reducing singleuse plastics and requiring all single-use beverage containers and packaging to be reusable, recyclable or compostable. Stronger language for the elimination of toxic substances in

Stronger language for prohibiting the use of toxic substances; and strengthened environmental justice requirements for facilities, including community consultation and more stringent fenceline monitoring requirements. “Plastics are made of fossil fuels combined with PFAS, phthalates, heavy metals and other toxic chemicals,” Moms Clean Air Force Director and Co-Founder Dominique Browning said. “They are produced in some of the nation’s most overburdened and underserved communities, blanketing neighborhoods in carcinogenic air pollution. Browning said many plastics are used for mere minutes, but their impact can leave a mark for centuries to come. “Plastics are piling up in our landfills and oceans, incinerators are turning waste plastics into toxic air pollutants, and consumer products are leaching chemicals into our bodies. Microplastics are found in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the water
we drink. They have been found deep in human lungs and in the bodies of newborn babies.” Browning added that by restricting the most problematic single-use plastic products, investing in reuse and refill systems, and insisting on robust protections for frontline communities, the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act seeks to protect people at every stage of the plastics supply chain and to set this country on a healthier and more sustainable path forward. “We applaud its reintroduction and thank Senator Merkley and Representative Huffman for their leadership on this issue,” Browning said. “Plastic pollution is petrochemical pollution and it’s hurting families right here in the United States,” Beyond Petrochemicals Executive Director Heather McTeer Toney said. “Companies continue to pile onto our country’s plastic pollution problem without taking any responsibility or being held to account. This legislation will begin to change that. While plastic packaging, bottles, and bags may be the most visible, the waste and pollution created by the petrochemical plants
manufacturing these products is harming the communities around them and fueling the climate crisis. We thank Sen. Merkley and Rep. Huffman for their leadership in advancing the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act.” “We’re at a crisis point with plastic pollution and we need action. Plastic pollution harms our oceans, climate, communities, and wildlife,” Oceana Campaign Director Christy Leavitt said. “The solution is to stop plastic pollution at the source by reducing the production and use of unnecessary singleuse plastic and move to refillable and reusable systems. The Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act does just that. We applaud Senator Merkley, Congressman Huffman, and their colleagues for introducing this important bill. Cities and states have been leading the way on plastic reduction policies, and it’s time for federal action so we can turn the tide on plastic pollution before it’s too late.” Merkley and Huffman said the Break Free from Plastic Pollution Act is endorsed by nearly 100 groups.
