New details about the Brookings City Council have emerged following special meetings last week. The council conducted the meetings to interview 13 candidates for the open city council position and mayor following the Nov. 7 recall election. City Councilmen Issac Hodges and Andy Martin were joined by new Councilwoman Kristi Fulton and City Manager Janell Howard during public meetings Dec. 4 and Dec. 5, which lasted almost four hours over the two days. The entire meeting is available in video form on the Brookings city website. After a long session of interviews, the three councilors deliberated rather quickly. Interviewees were asked the same six questions, with each councilor choosing the two they

olidays and family gatherings have a way of increasing stress and anxiety levels this time of year and, according to experts, people tend to underestimate the impact mental health can have on an individual or family. According to the American Psychiatric Association, nearly one in three Americans can expect to be more stressed this holiday season than last year. Leading author and Penn State graduate Stan Popovich, who has dealt with fear and anxiety for more than 20 years, emphasizes not to overlook the warning signs of increased anxiety and distress this holiday season. “Everybody struggles with stress and depression throughout the year, but certain parts of the year like the holidays make people more susceptible,” said Popovich, who is the author of “A Layman’s Guide to Managing Fear.” “The issues are still there. But the holidays can make it worse, like dealing with the loss of a loved one or reliving situations. Mental health has been a taboo for years, where people never said anything. With social media and with mental health awareness, people are starting to open up by saying they’re having issues that need to be addressed.” His book and website focus on six reasons why people need to take mental health seriously because there are options through professional help. Before you can let it go, you have to let it out, Popovich said. “It can be difficult to admit that you have a mental health problem in your life. In the past, people would never say anything. They would just keep it to themselves and deal with it,” he said. “With the changing culture, people are more receptive and open. “The first thing is to talk to your doctor or primary health care physician. Don’t go to your friends or Google it because they’re not professional. You go to your doctor for physical health issues. The same holds true for your mental health because it affects us all, rich or poor, educated or not. Everybody needs help every now and then.”

Watchstanders directed the launch of an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew from the Coast Guard Air Station in Astoria assist. The aircrew arrived on scene at 11:08 a.m. and was immediately diverted to assist an individual who was reported to be trapped on a truck in flood waters. The aircrew hoisted the individual from the truck to the helicopter and returned to the flooded house. The aircrew hoisted the remaining four people and transported them to Coast Guard Air Station Astoria to awaiting emergency medical services. All individuals were reported to be in stable condition following the rescue. The Coast Guard advises the public to heed weather warnings and to check

Flooding in the Pacific Northwest can be extremely dangerous and life-threatening. Last week’s flooding challenged drivers and property owners all along the Oregon Coast and inland. In Washington State, a U.S. Coast Guard rescue at Rosburg, Dec. 5, illustrated the extreme danger flooding can bring. Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Columbia River in Astoria received a request at 10:20 a.m. by the Cathlament Fire Department requesting helicopter support with a rescue of four individuals who were reported to be trapped in their home with four feet of water surrounding it.

https://www.weather.gov/ for flood warnings. In the event of an emergency call 911. The Coast Guard rescue was just one of the efforts conducted by Pacific Northwest first responders during the rain event. Law enforcement agencies warned drivers to avoid the high water along area roads and streets. Pineapple express The Pineapple Express, also known as an atmospheric river, brought significant accumulations of rain to the region last week. Flooding advisories, watches and warnings were posted all along the Oregon Coast. The National Weather Service reports rainfall totals from 2 to 6 inches

along the southwest Oregon and northwest California coasts from Dec. 5 to Dec. 7. Atmospheric rivers are relatively long, narrow regions in the atmosphere – like rivers in the sky – that transport most of the water vapor outside of the tropics, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “While atmospheric rivers can vary greatly in size and strength, the average atmospheric river carries an amount of water vapor roughly equivalent to the average flow of water at the mouth of the Mississippi River,” the NOAA website reads. “Exceptionally strong atmospheric rivers can transport up to 15 times that amount. When the atmospheric rivers make

landfall, they often release this water vapor in the form of rain or snow.” The largest amounts of water vapor and the strongest winds from the atmospheric rivers can create extreme rainfall and floods, often by stalling over watersheds vulnerable to flooding. These events can disrupt travel, induce mudslides and cause catastrophic damage to life and property. The National Weather Service and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) issued travel warnings during the latest rain events. Following such weather events, the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) issues alerts about the landslide and mudslide dangers.

“Not all atmospheric rivers cause damage; most are weak systems that often provide beneficial rain or snow that is crucial to the water supply,” the NOAA website states. “Atmospheric rivers are a key feature in the global water cycle and are closely tied to both water supply and flood risks — particularly in the western United States. While atmospheric rivers are responsible for great quantities of rain that can produce flooding, they also contribute to beneficial increases in snowpack.” Read more about the landslide dangers following heavy rain events and follow weather developments at currypilot. com and in the Wednesday print editions of The Pilot.

AG issues holiday fraud advisory SHERIFF’S TIPS OF STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc. The Christmas holiday season is an opportunity to trick people out of their money and sensitive personal information, warns Oregon Attorney General Ellen “In the midst of all the holiday excitement, it is important to be aware of the potential for scams,” Rosenblum said. “By staying informed, you can ensure a safe and successful experience during these popular shopping days.” Rosenblum said her team has assembled a list of the top scams to watch out. “Read this list carefully and share it with your friends and family,” Rosenblum said. 1. Websites requiring you to download an app Imagine you’re about to make an online purchase on a website with an amazing deal. Suddenly, it turns out that the only way to grab this exclusive offer is by making a purchase through the company’s app. While some legitimate online companies might offer exclusive deals for mobile app users, you need to be cautious before downloading any new apps. If you are shopping on a website that you’re unfamiliar with and

Fast Fact If you have fallen victim, be sure to report it to the Oregon Department of Justice online at www.oregonconsumer.gov or by phone at 1-877-877-9392.

5. Phony Tracking Number Scam Phishing attacks go a step further in this scheme, as criminals will send fake delivery notifications by text or email. Usually, these notifications are disguised to be from FedEx, UPS, or the U.S. Postal Service. Just like the fake order phishing scam, you’ll be invited to click a link to accept your delivery, where they’ll steal your personally identifying information. 6. Bogus Website Scam Cybercriminals are setting up imitation websites of popular online stores. These copycat websites look exactly like the official retailer, and the untrained eyes of an average consumer can easily fall for the trap. If you have unsuspectingly made an online purchase from a fake retail website, criminals may have stolen your credit card information and other personal details, and you should contact your credit card and/or bank immediately. To avoid falling victim to one or more of these scams on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, review these 10 practical tips to help you watch your wallet, shop wisely, and protect your personal information online.

the company asks you to download its app to complete the transaction – don’t. You’re most likely being tricked into downloading a fraudulent app designed to steal your payment information 2. Free Black Friday Gift Cards Another common scam involves a notification that you won a gift card from a big retailer like Amazon or Walmart. According to the notification, all you need to do to claim the gift card is text back a random code or click a URL. This is how scammers can collect your details and infect your device with malware. The scam might then be sent to all the contacts in your address book. To stay safe, avoid clicking any suspicious links and do not interact with the notifications. 3. Hot Deal Scam If a deal seems too good to be true on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, it probably is. When making online purchases, you should always receive an order confirmation with

a tracking number. But in this scam, you won’t. And surprise, surprise, the package never arrives. When you attempt to contact the seller for help, you learn they have disappeared along with your payment and shipping information. 4. Fake Order Scam Phishing is one of the oldest tricks in the book, but modern-day phishing attacks have become more sophisticated. In the fake order scam, con artists will send cryptic text messages or unsolicited emails to notify you of a “problem” with your online order. But you never ordered anything! They want you to click the link in the phishing email, which leads to a website asking for your banking credentials or other sensitive information, which they can use to commit other frauds. These emails are designed to appear like they came from a legitimate sender, like Amazon or Walmart. Please look out for these and don’t fall for them!

ODOT to receive $19M for winter maintenance STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

Governor Tina Kotek, Senate President Rob Wagner and House Speaker Dan Rayfield have jointly announced a commitment of $19 million for the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The funding is to help restore winter maintenance services, make safetyfocused improvements, and purchase new trucks used for snow plowing. Due to looming shortfalls in the State Highway Fund, record levels of inflation and limitations on budgeted agency funds, ODOT began implementing significant service reductions within maintenance and operations this biennium. The funding committed will help prevent unsafe conditions for those using state roads and allow ODOT staff to better maintain their level of service during peak winter events, according to the state leaders. “Oregon needs to have safe state highways,” Kotek said. “I am committed to finding long-term solutions

VIEWPOINT

Measure 110 needs fixes rather than repeal RANDY STAPILUS Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Column In November 2020, a nearlandslide of Oregon voters – 58.5% – approved Measure 110, which generally decriminalized small-scale possession of illicit drugs. That passage was a call to change the state’s core policy. Kassandra Frederique, executive director of the pro-110 Drug Policy Alliance, Randy said, “This Stapilus confirms a substantial shift in public support in favor of treating drug use with health services rather than with criminalization.” That was the core idea: rejection of the longstanding general policy of criminal enforcement, the half-century “war on drugs” widely declared as a failure. State Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, remarked, “We need to look at things outside of the traditional war on drugs approach. That’s been going on for 50 years. And I ask everyone, so what do we have to show for this? And it’s 50 years and how many billions, if not trillions, of dollars have been spent?” The approach relied strongly on law enforcement, prison and the criminal justice system. Critics noted that relatively few people really kicked their problems in prison, and once out their lives were so constricted – with few practical choices about where to live or work – that they often relapsed. Those concerns, aired widely in 2020, have faded from public view – though not from validity – amid arguments that Measure 110 hasn’t worked. A number of county governments have called for 110’s repeal. An August Emerson poll suggested a majority of Oregonians felt the same, but there’s reason for skepticism. The poll was backed by the Foundation for Drug Policy Solutions, whose spokesman, Kavin Sabet, has blasted decriminalization, calling it “part of a very well thought out multi-decade plan by those who want to legalize drugs and the billionaires who are behind it.” “I do think that if Oregon repeals or replaces Measure 110 or continues to have that buyer’s remorse, which is certainly where the momentum is, this could stop the legalization movement in its tracks because this really puts a dent in those plans of legalization advocates,” Sabet said. For all the talk about repealing Measure 110, most legislative activity now seems to involve additions and fixes for its problems rather than changing the core direction, which is what approval of Measure 110 by voters signals the public wants. However, the will of voters can and should be met with changes on how to execute that new direction. The largest failure with Measure 110, so far, has been implementation: Prevention and treatment efforts have been slow, along with measures to ban activity, such as the public use of drugs, to mirror state law on alcohol and marijuana.

Measure 110 has suffered from its timeline – changing enforceable drug laws in just 13 weeks between the election and the law change and long before treatment and other efforts could be set up – along with several gaps in the law. Many early complaints about the measure concerned the slow expansion of treatment efforts. More recently, however, those projects have expanded. The 2021 Senate Bill 755 set up Behavioral Health Resource Networks, described as “an entity or group of entities working together to provide comprehensive, community-based services and supports to people with substance use disorders or harmful substance use.” This took time. The state set up a network in each county and tribal area before using grant funds to cover the cost of services to individuals. The measure probably was overly comprehensive and uniform: Different drugs may call for different responses. Approaches to dealing with opioids (many of which are legal in some cases) is a different proposition than going after methamphetamines or cocaine. Legislation could address the differences. Even more important is the absence in 110 of serious leverage to pressure – even force – drug users away from bad behavior and into treatment or some other consequence. What might that leverage look like? One option might involve building on the drug courts, active in Oregon as in many other states for many years by giving public officials – and maybe judges – broad authority to compel people to comply with recovery efforts. Policymakers can consider as well that much of Oregon’s law relating to drugs, establishing crimes and penalties relating to manufacture and trafficking, remains in force and continues to be a powerful tool. In October a large Oregon delegation visited Portugal, which two decades ago moved from a criminalizedbased to a health service approach to drug use, to pick up lessons from the experience. Portugal seems to have little interest in reversing its course. One of the participants, Janie Gullickson, the executive director of the Portland-based Mental Health and Addiction Association, remarked that, “It took Portugal eight years to see results they were hoping to see from their drastic change from a criminal approach to addiction to a health care approach. So it’s going to take time, innovation and collaboration. We’re year three, right?” Elected officials seldom are wise simply to smack down a clearly expressed will of the voters. Voters do tend to appreciate, though, efforts to make their will work better. Randy Stapilus writes columns for the Oregon Capital Chronicle.

THIS THING CALLED LIFE

The structure of an apology

MICHELLE PIERSON YOUNG Pilot Guest Column

I don’t like to be wrong, and I know I’m not alone. What a treat it would be to be right, and all the time. H o n e s t l y, I ’ v e pretended that was true a lot. The Michelle idea of being wrong, when Young I took the time to analyze, made me bad, or not a grown up, or people would think I was stupid, or wrong all the time, or, or, or. But the truth, if it won’t set you free, will give you the opportunity to grow, and the fact is, that’s what finding out we’ve erred gives us. If you’re willing to

entertain the somewhat heretical idea that you will sometimes need to apologize, and there’s a structure to a good apology, I’m the girl to throw down a few tips and tricks to get you started on being happier. In another words, admitting you’re wrong and using it in your favor. A satisfying apology can be satisfying to both giver and receiver. This happens when the person who was wronged, is acknowledged as such. It’s basically saying, “Ouch, that hurt, and I’m the one that did it.” You know the next sentence well, “I’m sorry.” Giving of the apology is satisfying as we ache for relationships made of kindness and honesty. Being that kind, honest person is key in having that flavor of relationship. Saying, “I was wrong,” frees us to make better choices.

But we need more out of this, and more there is. So, we’ve “harmed” in some way. The structure might also include, “This is what I’ve done to fix this, so it doesn’t happen again.” And to put a pretty cherry on it, we can add, “Is there anything else I can do to make things right between us?” The growth I’ve experienced over the last years has heavily included this Human Equation. It’s been difficult, even painful at times. I have not enjoyed wandering down the path of my infinitely human behavior. I think it would be unkind not to warn you that all the feels aren’t yummy. But you already knew that. Nevertheless, as I’ve upleveled my game, my willingness, not only have I had the pleasure of deepening my relationships and becoming a better

human, but I have been on the receiving end of them as well. To receive a sincere apology, to be seen in that way is truly cathartic. It feels like peace. I wish for you the pain of knowing you’ve wronged others only because the other side of that life coin is the deep pleasure of knowing others and being known. I hope you use your humanness to find where you can do things better. I hope you use mistakes and missteps to make relationships in which you thrive. May we all use the inevitable experience of being wrong, in our own favor.

FINANCIAL FREEDOM

A meaningful holiday season JULIA CARLSON Pilot Guest Column The holidays can be a stressful time of year, especially regarding money. There can be pressure to spend money on gifts, travel, and other festive activities. However, it is important to remember that the holidays are not just about Julia spending Carlson money. The holiday season is about spending time with loved ones and celebrating the meaningful things of life. Here are some ideas to reduce financial stress and anxiety by incorporating

gratitude and financial mindfulness into your holiday celebrations: Decide how much money you want to spend on gifts, travel, and other holiday activities. Start your holiday shopping by making a list of all the people you want to buy gifts for and how much you want to spend on each. When choosing gifts, focus on things that your loved ones will appreciate and use. Do not feel pressured to buy expensive gifts. Homemade gifts, experiences, or less expensive heart-felt gifts can be even more meaningful. If you are overwhelmed or pressured to spend money you do not have,

do not be afraid to say no. It is OK to set financial boundaries. Another approach to consider this holiday season is to create a tradition of volunteering. Ask your friends and family to join you as you volunteer your time for a local charity. Volunteering together is a wonderful way to give back to your community, build relationships, and show gratitude for all you have. Or you can create a new tradition as simple as watching a holiday movie together every year or baking a batch of cookies with your neighbors. After all this is the season of giving, not spending. By practicing gratitude with your money over the

holidays, you can reduce financial stress, focus on the non-materialistic aspects of the season, and have a more meaningful and enjoyable holiday season.

Act expands Smith River National Recreation Area STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

U.S. Rep. Val Hoyle (OR-04) and Rep. Jared Huffman (CA-02) have introduced the Smith River National Recreation Area (NRA) Expansion Act. The Act is designed to protect Southwest Oregon’s scenic North Fork Smith River watershed and its world-class rivers, salmon strongholds, rare plants, clean drinking water, and recreation opportunities. The House bill is a companion to Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley’s legislation. “I’m proud to introduce this legislation that is so widely supported by conservationists, businesses, and local governments in Southwest Oregon and Northern California,” Hoyle said. “Keeping the renowned North Fork Smith River watershed clean is pivotal for drinking water, tourism and fishing jobs, salmon populations, and outdoor recreation. This is a

special place that future generations should be able to enjoy.” “The Smith River is a treasured part of the natural landscape in my district, and its designation as a National Recreation Area has created jobs, preserved vital resources and ecosystems, and ensured folks can experience its scenic beauty for generations to come,” Huffman said. “Expanding this designation into Oregon is a commonsense step to further protect this natural treasure and extend its many economic and cultural benefits to our neighbors in Oregon.” “When we come together to safeguard our state’s natural wonders, we can create jobs, protect resources, grow our economy, and make sure future generations of Oregonians can enjoy our incredible public lands,” Merkley said. “I thank Representative Hoyle for introducing this critical legislation in the House that I’ve been championing

Smith River National Recreation Area.

Add 58,000 acres in

Curry County Oregon to the existing Smith River NRA in Northern California that currently stops at the California/Oregon border. Designate 75 miles of rivers as Wild and Scenic, including Baldface Creek, Chrome Creek and nearby streams. Permanently prevent new mining projects in the recreation area. Allow critical wildfire prevention work in the area to continue.

Hoyle said this bill complements her Southwestern Oregon Watershed and Salmon Protection Act, which would permanently protect the North Fork Smith River watershed and other Southwestern Oregon rivers from pollution by preventing new mining projects. “The Wild Rivers Coast and rivers like the Smith are legendary among anglers for their steelhead and salmon fisheries,” Angler’s Conservation Project, Trout Unlimited NW Regional Director Dean Finnerty said. “This region supports a robust sport fishing economy that is vitally important for many rural communities. Rep. Hoyle’s Smith River National Recreation Area Expansion Act is a sensible and timely way to honor the sporting heritage of this region and to conserve the cold, clean, fish-filled waters that are the hallmark of this part of America.” “The expansion of the

Smith River National Recreation Area completes a conservation effort initiated over thirty years ago,” Smith River Alliance Co-Executive Director Grant Werschkull said. “This action is vitally important to downstream communities and the Smith River as a stronghold for Pacific salmon species.” “On behalf of the more than 300 businesses we represent, we thank Congresswoman Val Hoyle and Congressman Jared Huffman for their leadership and assistance,” Crescent City-Del Norte Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Cindy Vosburg said. “This legislation provides a permanent ban on new mining claims on Oregon lands within the Smith River watershed which helps ensure our community will continue to have high quality drinking water and one of the cleanest rivers in the USA. This is very important to our community.”

online. Same-day online reservations started as a pilot project at two coastal parks and expanded last summer to all 17 coastal state park campgrounds. “Same-day reservations at the coast gave those traveling the peace of mind that there was a place ready for them when they arrived,” OPRD Coastal Region Director Dennis

Comfort said. When the program expands statewide, it will include a total of 40 park campgrounds across Oregon. Some parks switch tent and RV campsites to first-comefirst served during the winter and those sites will start offering same-day online reservations in the spring. Visitors can check

park webpages for seasonal information on specific parks at https://stateparks. oregon.gov/ Eleven campgrounds will remain first-come-first served year-round: Jackson F. Kimball, Goose Lake, Bates, Cascara, Catherine Creek, Hilgard Junction, Jasper Point (except for the cabin), Minam, Red Bridge, Smith Rock and Ukiah-

Dale. The goal of same-day online reservations is to offer campers the flexibility to travel last minute when sites are available while giving them the security of knowing they have a site when they arrive. Sameday online reservations also have the potential to give park staff more time to offer interpretive opportunities,

improve park facilities and increase time interacting with visitors. “The transition to same-day reservations at Nehalem Bay State Park was nearly seamless and has been generally well received,” said Park Manager Ben Cox.

4. You are not alone: Everyone deals with fear, stress, and anxiety whether your friends or others. Do not be embarrassed that you are getting help. We all learn new things from others on a daily basis and learning how to manage your anxieties is no different, he said. 5. Do not make the mistake of doing nothing: There are many people who struggle with anxiety and other mental health related issues and tried to ignore the problems. As a result, some of these people struggled on a daily basis and eventually things became more difficult. It can be scary asking for assistance, but the key is to take things one day at a time. 6. You have a variety of options: There are many mental health support groups, organizations, and counselors in your area that can help get your life back on track. Talk to your doctor to get more details on where you can go for some assistance. Every problem has a solution. People just have to make the effort to

find the answers, Popovich said. “Wintertime can make it worse. Christmas and the holidays can make it worse too,” he said. “You can’t underestimate other times of the year because every holiday can be different for different people. There are certain triggers. “Some of the warning signs include where they keep to themselves or a loss of appetite. They’re acting different, they’re not themselves or they become antisocial in the way they deal with people.” Popovich suggests getting outside for some fresh air. Exposure to sunlight can help you relax and lift your mood, he said. “Many people struggle with some feelings of depression during the winter months with fewer hours of sunlight and more time spent indoors. Walking outside in the sun can be an effective centering and calming tool,” he explained. “Numerous studies have pointed to the mental health benefits of

in the Senate. Today, we’re one step closer to expanding the Smith River National Recreation Area—a commonsense win-win for adventurers across the Northwest, folks interested in preserving the state’s beautiful places, and Southern Oregon’s economy.” The Smith River NRA Expansion Act would:

Holiday Continued from Page 1 Mental health priority Popovich outlines six reasons people should make mental health a priority. 1. The situation will improve if you get help: Anxieties and fears can be challenging to manage and more than likely you will need some help. Left untreated, anxieties and fears may not go away. 2. Drugs and alcohol are not the answer: Drugs and alcohol can make your problems more complicated. There are many health professionals in your area that can give you some ideas on where you can go for assistance, he said. 3. You will save time and money: Eventually, you will have to confront your fears and mental health issues. You will save months of struggling by getting help right away, he explained. The sooner you get assistance the faster you will start getting some relief.

OBITUARY Robert R. Manning, Jr. Robert R. Manning Jr. died on November 23, 2023, in Janesville, California. Robert was the son of Margert and Robert R. Manning Senior, born April 27, 1943. He grew up working with his father on hop ranches in Northern California, where he started developing his skills as a truck and heavy equipment mechanic. Robert was a union member in the Teamsters and Operating Engineer for many years. Later in life, with his wife Carol, he moved to Brookings, Oregon and purchased a fishing vessel called Good Fishing II to start his retirement business with his youngest son. After

a few successful years the three purchased fishing vessel Inspiration. Robert’s sister Beverly Copan ran a successful beauty salon for many years in Nice, California. Robert is survived by his oldest son Michael, his wife Zjanett, his granddaughter Jazzalyn, his Daughter Mary Eversult, her husband Rick, William, his wife Krista, and Grandson Donald Pellegrini. Dear relatives Pa would want to mention with love: Uncle Jim, Aunt Bonnie DeGuara and family, Uncle Ken Clark, Aunt Sue, and family. The family wishes to give thanks to the communities

of Brookings and Janesville who showed Ma and Pa much kindness during the periods they lived there, and to say a fond farewell to those friends left behind in Reno, Brookings, and Janesville. We know Carol, Ma as she was known by many, was waiting for Pa at the gates of heaven. 54 years of love before Carol passed ahead of Bob in February 2017. The family will be holding a Celebration of Life for Robert in the spring of 2024. For more information on the Celebration of Life please reach out to one of Roberts children.

Council Continued from Page 1 and what do you see as the most negative issue in the city? Based on what you know about city government, what do you think are the city’s top priorities and why? Deliberation, however, was brief. Each councilor relayed what qualities they prioritized in their decision. “For myself, prior service with the city carries significant weight with me, so people who are involved with city government, who have stepped up previously to volunteer with Parks and Recreation, Budget Committee, Planning Commission,” Martin said. “Somebody who is objective… that’s not looking to bring personal or business into this, but really looking for the good of the city. [Someone] who is genuine, transparent, empathetic, and clearly business minded, both small and large. As well as infrastructure minded,” Hodges outline as his criteria. “Those who have the best interest for the city and residents… Can bring new ideas and insights to the table. Can help us bridge with bigger entities at the government levels for increased funding and influence. Balance the new growth with the heart of this small city. To downtown revitalization… those who are trusted and ethical… who want to build and restore relationships, who are open to other points of view and lenses, and who understand Brookings politics,” Fulton said.

A motion was unanimously passed to appoint Phoebe Pareda to the open council position and she was promptly sworn in. The councilors selected Pareda, who made all three councilor’s shortlist, in a matter of minutes during the process. She is an accounting specialist with Chetco Community Public Library and has served on the city’s budget committee. When asked Councilor Hodges’ question about the three goals for her term, she responded, “My first and largest goal would be to help reestablish some trust in the community, to open up the lines of communication,” she said. “To advocate for community voice to be heard. I think its very important to hear, to understand, other perspectives, even those we don’t necessarily agree with.” In the interviews, there was a distinct lack of discussion over the tenure of City Manager Janell Howard, who’s controversial reinstatement was a major catalyst in the recall effort. Pareda added that another primary goal for her as city councilor is, “Promoting transparency and accountability for both the council and the staff members, that we would be leaders and examples in that area.” During another question, Pareda described the biggest issue facing the city as, “Regrowing communication and public trust in our community. I

think it has declined and its important, and that we can’t thrive without [it],” she said. On the topic of the city’s growing houselessness issue, Pareda was compassionate. “I don’t pretend to begin to have all the answers,” she said. “I think its important to reach out and look at other cities, and what have they done that’s been successful, what have they done that has failed… I think its important that we have a heart of compassion toward those in [homelessness] situations.” Pareda cited the old saying ‘If you give a man a fish…’ and pointed toward finding long-term solutions over quick fixes. In her closing statement Pareda said “My desire to be part of this city council has nothing to do with any personal agenda. It has all to with wanting to be of service to our community and, again, to help our community thrive for the betterment of all of those who live here… how can we really affect our community for today, and for tomorrow, and for the future.” After appointing Pareda, the newly reinforced council motioned to recess, allowing her time to review the other council applications and interviews.

A decision on the still vacant mayor’s position took place the following evening, Dec. 5. Through deliberation, the council consensus to go with experience. Councilor Pareda nominated Councilor Hodges to fill the position as city mayor. A motion that was seconded by Councilor Martin, who during discussion said, “By growing up in Brookings and seeing the changes over your lifetime here and being part of this community for so long, I think Brookings will benefit… It’s not always the case that the mayor is homegrown. I think you’ve done a great job as a council member and that you’ll do a great job as mayor.” The motion passed with three votes. Hodges abstained. Hodges graduated from Brookings-Harbor High School in 1994 and earned his nursing degree from Oregon Health and Science University. He is Chief Nursing Officer and Chief Operations Officer at Curry Health Network. The swearing-in ceremony followed, installing Hodges as the new city mayor. The current term of mayor runs until December 2024. Hodges will have the choice of running for re-election to the council, or for another

term as mayor. This left another one remaining vacancy on the council to be filled. The mayor and councilors quickly narrowed the pool down to Clayton Malmberg, DeAnne Varitek, Anthony Bond. After further deliberation, and another round of interview questions, the council motioned to nominate Clayton Malmberg for the open seat. The motion passed unanimously. The driving factor was, once again, experience, with Malmberg having served on the Brookings City Planning Commission. The council cited Malmberg’s time with public work projects and the strength of his resume as his strongest attributes. Malmberg spoke to this experience, saying that through his work,” [his] team have delivered on over $100 million worth of projects in the last year.” Malmberg also addressed the importance of unity in the council. “We all come from different backgrounds,” he said, “but its important to be respectful of everyone’s differences. If the decision is made, [it’s important] to be supportive, so that the Council can be seen as a unified body.” Malmberg said he is also a strong support of local businesses and the city’s tourism efforts. “I would advocate for anything I could do to help our local businesses, and encourage tourism to sustain our local community,” he said. Malmberg was than sworn in, and Mayor Hodges closed the

meeting on a message of togetherness. “There’s been a lot of friction… but as we move forward let’s look for solutions. Let’s bring unity back, not just to the council but to the community,” Hodges said. “The city council has a diverse makeup with a common desire to keep Brookings a great place to live, work and visit,” Council President Martin said. “The new council members share a commitment to public safety, clean parks, and a smooth-running city government, while also being supportive of downtown businesses, and our tourism, timber industry and fishing economies. This council has experience over a broad range to best represent local residents on the council.” Moving forward the new-look local government is Mayor Hodges, City Council Members Martin, Fulton, Malmberg, and Pareda, with Janell Howard continuing to serve as city manager. The city charter requires that the council appoint vacant positions within 60 days. A total of 14 local residents, including Fulton, applied for the open positions left following the recall of Mayor Ron Hedenskog, and councilors Michelle Morosky and Ed Schreiber.

Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement/ Section 4(f) Evaluation and Announcement of Public Open House Last Chance Grade Permanent Restoration Project U.S. Highway 101 — Del Norte County PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE A virtual public Open House will be held via Zoom on: Date: Wednesday, January 24, 2024 Time: 5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Place: Access meeting at www.lastchancegrade.com

PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD A Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement for the Last Chance Grade Permanent Restoration Project is now available for public review and comment as of December 15, 2023.

Comment Deadline: February 13, 2024 WHAT IS BEING PLANNED? The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) proposes to permanently restore a section of highway, known as Last Chance Grade, located on U.S. Highway 101 in Del Norte County (post miles [PMs] 12.7 to 16.5). Last Chance Grade is a 3.5-mile-long section of highway approximately 10 miles south of Crescent City. The project would permanently restore the highway in response to landslide activities that have created roadway damage and frequent highway closures for decades.

WHY THIS PUBLIC NOTICE? Caltrans has studied the effect this project may have on the environment and prepared a Draft Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement and Draft Section 4(f) Evaluation that identifies the project’s potential impacts and potential avoidance, minimization, and mitigation measures. The build alternatives would result in significant and unavoidable impacts related to late successional forest and marbled murrelet and its designated critical habitat. Potentially significant impacts related to special status bat species and greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced to less-than-significant levels after implementation of mitigation measures. The project site is not located on any list of hazardous materials waste sites compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. This notice is to let you know of the availability of the draft environmental document for you to read and review, and the opportunity to provide comments. A virtual public Open House as described above will be held to give you the opportunity to learn more about the project and to talk with Caltrans staff before the final design is selected.

WHAT’S AVAILABLE The Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement is available for review at the project website www.lastchancegrade.com, or at the Caltrans District 1 Office, 1656 Union Street, Eureka, CA weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and at the Del Norte County Library, 190 Price Mall, Crescent City, CA.

WHERE YOU COME IN Do you believe the project’s potential impacts have been adequately addressed by the draft environmental document? Do you have additional information that should be included? Would you care to make any other comments on the project? Please submit your comments in writing no later than February 13, 2024, to Steve Croteau, North Region Environmental, Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 3700, Eureka, CA 95502-3700, or DEDcomments@lastchancegrade.com. After considering and replying to comments on the draft environmental document, Caltrans will make a decision on the project and proceed with the project’s design.

Metro Creative Connection A survey of Oregon parents found many struggled to find child care due to limited spots, few options with hours that fit parents’ work schedules and high prices.

Child care shortages costing parents jobs, survey finds ALEX BAUMHARDT Oregon Capital Chronicle Pilot Guest Article Public funding to boost early child care options in Oregon has grown by millions during the past few years, but options are still limited for many parents who are forced to choose – and lose – jobs, according to a survey from Portland State University. More than 40% of parents said they or their partner had quit a job, not taken a job or “greatly changed” a job because of difficulty finding child care the previous year. The percentage was slightly higher for parents of color. The survey, undertaken by more than 3,000 Oregon parents between December 2022 and January 2023, revealed that major challenges still exist when it comes to finding child care for kids 5 and younger. The survey was conducted

by Portland State’s Early Childhood program and recently submitted to the Oregon Department of Early Learning and Care and the Early Learning Council. The findings will help the agency with legislative and budget priorities in the next year, it said in a release. Among the problems the survey found are limited spots, few options with hours that fit parents’ work schedules and high prices. Finding child care was particularly difficult for parents of kids with learning disabilities, for children of color and for families that primarily speak a language other than English at home. Kids of color and those with disabilities were the most likely to have been asked to take a break from facilities or asked to leave a child care center in 2022. That year 10% of all children were asked to

take a break or leave. That rate increased to 16% for Black children, a fourfold increase compared to 2020. “Parents of color are among those most likely to experience those negative impacts on employment, too,” said Katherine Pears, research scientist at the nonprofit Oregon Social Learning Center, which partnered with Portland State on the study. “So, you’re really talking then about the most vulnerable families getting kind of a double whammy there.” Pears said improving child care access and affordability will require expanding the workforce through professional training and development and paying child care staff statewide livable wages. “The 0 to 5 brain is doing these amazing things, and we don’t confer dignity on the people that are helping that brain develop,” she

said. Through the 2019 Student Success Act, the state has spent more than $35 million increasing slots for infants and toddlers statewide, but she said more than funding is needed to improve access to child care. “If employers want staff, and they want folks who can do jobs well, and drive the economy, then employers need to get involved in helping folks have good child care,” she said.

the Harm Reduction Clearinghouse Project to support schools to access naloxone was made possible through one-time funding from the Oregon’s Opioid Settlement Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Board. The Oregon Department of Education last week notified school district leaders about the availability of naloxone for schools, registration opened Nov. 29 and as of today 505 total schools, colleges, and universities have requested to receive reversal kits. The intent is to help school districts increase access to overdose reversal kits within their schools for use in the event of an opioid overdose emergency at or near a school campus. Every middle and high

school is eligible to receive up to three opioid overdose reversal kits. The kits contain a wall mounted naloxone box, instructions, emergency medical supplies, and eight doses of the opioid antagonist, naloxone nasal spray. Naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal medication, can restore breathing while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive. Access to naloxone is necessary for school staff to respond to an opioid overdose on or near a school campus. Eligible schools must serve students seventh grade or higher. The program is open to all public, private, charter schools, colleges and universities or tribal communities located in Oregon.

State to boost naloxone availability in schools

STAFF REPORT Country Media, Inc.

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) has announced plans to offer free opioid overdose reversal kits to middle and high schools throughout the state. The effort is an expansion of the Save Lives Oregon (SLO) Initiative’s Harm Reduction Clearinghouse Project. The SLO Harm Reduction Clearinghouse began during COVID and has provided naloxone and other harm reduction supplies at no cost to agencies around the state that directly engage with people at highest risk of substance use related overdose, infections, and injuries.

By the numbers In addition to Oregon’s foreclosure moratorium and increased mortgage forbearance and default workout options, HAF has helped Oregon maintain a historically low foreclosure rate during and since the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping many in their homes. According to August 2023 Corelogic data, there were 1,016 residential foreclosures in Oregon, which reflects a 0.16% foreclosure rate, compared to a 20-year average 1.03% foreclosure rate. As of Dec. 4, OHCS has approved 1,745 applications, totaling about $46.9 million of the $72 million available to homeowners when the program launched. Over $35 million in approved funds have already been paid with an average award of about $27,000. OHCS is reviewing or monitoring another 859 applications that, if approved, are projected to total $23.2 million in assistance.

Free help is available Homeowners who have fallen behind or are at risk of missing a payment on their mortgage can continue to get free help from certified housing counselors around the state to learn about options to keep their homes, such as modifications or adding deferred payments to the end of a mortgage. Housing counselors are knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated professionals who can help homeowners communicate with their mortgage servicers. Search the full list of free certified housing counselors by county with this story at currypilot.com. Homeowners should be aware that some housing counseling agencies take longer due to high volume and remote working policies. In addition to connecting with a certified housing counselor, homeowners should directly contact their mortgage servicers and lenders to see what types of mortgage assistance and foreclosure prevention programs are available. Homeowners who communicate with their lenders and servicers have some additional protections and usually have more time to figure out their options. Avoiding fraud The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services recommends being extremely cautious with offers to help from unauthorized companies or people. Homeowners are urged not to provide financial or personal information unless they verify the company or person’s licensing status. It does not cost anything to apply for the HAF program or meet with an Oregon housing counselor. There are several common warning signs homeowners should watch out for that may indicate a scam. If a homeowner suspects they’re being contacted by a scammer, they can report it to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Oregon Department of Justice, or the U.S. Treasury’s Office of the Inspector General. To verify a lender’s license, visit the Division of Financial Regulation’s license page and compare it with the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) license number. This number must be included on all advertising materials and should be easy to find. To verify a housing counseling agency’s status make sure they are listed on the OHCS website.

Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) is closing the Oregon Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) program to most new applicants to avoid overcommitting funds. The application portal will close at noon Dec. 20. Homeowners who are in active foreclosure may still be able to apply through a housing counselor. “We’re encouraging homeowners who are at imminent risk of housing displacement, socially disadvantaged individuals as defined by U.S. Treasury, or anyone who meets one of the additional eligibility criteria listed on the HAF website to apply for HAF assistance before noon Dec. 20,” OHCS Homeowner Assistance Programs Assistance Director Ryan Vanden Brink said. “Although we are accepting new applications, there may not be enough funds for everyone who applies as the program winds down.” Existing applicants can continue to log on to the HAF portal to check the status of their application or scheduled payments. OHCS planned its HAF program to operate as a safety net for the most atrisk homeowners who have no viable workout option, so those homeowners will receive priority processing. If funds still remain after the portal closes and applications are processed, HAF intake partners will be able to submit new applications on behalf of homeowners in a judicial foreclosure action or in nonjudicial foreclosure with a scheduled sale date. These applicants may need to complete intake paperwork and foreclosure prevention counseling before working with a counselor. Funding may not be available for all these new applications.

The agency projects $1.9 million remains. OHCS is currently working with homeowners, housing counselors, and mortgage servicers to postpone and prevent hundreds of foreclosures for applicants. Visit the HAF Dashboard for more detailed information.

Nearly $5.5 million in federal investments is heading to Oregon organizations for coastal climate resilience projects and restoring fish habitats. The funding comes from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s National Coastal Resilience Fund, which supports the design and implementation of projects around the country to enhance the resilience of coastal communities and improve habitat for fish and wildlife. Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, along with U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04), announced the funding Dec. 5. Oregon project descriptions and award amounts are below: $3,791,657.49: Wild Salmon Center – Florence and Coos Bay, OR Extreme weather events threaten human lives and infrastructure, public and private properties, and ecosystems due to the increased severity and frequency of storms. Wild Salmon Center will increase climate resilience in the Coos and Siuslaw watersheds through nine restoration projects that will result in 257.5 acres of restored floodplain and 7.47 miles of restored instream habitat. The project will reduce flood hazards in coastal communities by reducing peak flows and slowing water velocities, improve water retention and quality, and recover economically vital salmon populations. $1,012,692.18: McKenzie River Trust – Siuslaw River’s estuary and watershed near Florence, Oregon Coastal communities and habitats are under increasing threats from coastal hazards, such as sea level rise, storm intensification, and other environmental stressors. The McKenzie River Trust will advance final design and permitting to restore the tidal exchange within the currently flow-restricted areas on four properties in the Siuslaw River’s estuary, increasing the availability and protection of vital rearing and feeding habitat for coho salmon and other native fish species. The project will finalize designs to restore a total of 500 acres over the next four years that will enhance the estuary’s ability to absorb the increased sea level impact of storm swells, king tides, and flooding. $651,021.88: Wild Salmon Center – Nehalem, Lincoln City, Waldport, and Alsea, Oregon Flood hazards pose a serious risk to urban areas, emergency road infrastructure, and vulnerable rural communities on the Oregon coast. Coastal resiliency to sea level rise and climate change depends upon

conserving estuaries and wetlands through restoration of key ecological processes and functions including hydrological connectivity, nutrient cycling, and sediment transport. Wild Salmon Center will create final designs and secure permitting for five wetland systems across three watersheds in Nehalem, Siletz, and Alsea estuaries on the Oregon coast. The project will result in fully designed plans for 249 acres of floodwater storage, seven fish passage improvements across four miles of stream, and the restoration of 30 freshwater wetland acres and 219 acres of tidal wetlands to mitigate flood hazards, reduce erosion, and restore habitat for salmon. “Our waterways and fish are the lifeblood of the Northwest, particularly coastal communities,” Merkley said. “This critical federal support will prepare our region to better withstand more frequent extreme weather events caused by climate chaos. These projects will help strengthen natural infrastructure while also enhancing habitat for fish populations, including our beloved coho salmon and other native fish species.” “Protecting Oregon’s coastal wetlands, floodplains and estuaries not only helps fight the devastating effects of climate change, but also helps increase resiliency of coastal communities against extreme weather,” Wyden said. “I’m glad to see federal funding supporting the Wild Salmon Center and the McKenzie River Trust’s work to restore and protect estuaries and wetlands on the Oregon Coast,” Hoyle said. “These projects on the Alsea, Coos, Siletz, and Siuslaw rivers in Oregon’s Fourth Congressional District will reduce flood risk for coastal communities and increase habitat for salmon and other native fish species. This is a prime example of how we can effectively support coastal resilience and preserve Oregon’s natural beauty as we combat the challenges of climate change.” “We are honored and thrilled to have received this grant award from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation,” McKenzie River Trust Executive Director Joe Moll said. “These funds will support estuary restoration projects that build on two decades of effort by partners at Ecotrust, the Siuslaw Watershed Council, the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians, the state of Oregon, federal agencies, and many dedicated local community members. They set in motion a Siuslaw Whole Watershed Restoration initiative in 2004, something that gave us all a road map for effective land and
