Curry County drops to low-risk tier Vaccine waiting list for seniors unveiled BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The Pilot

The reopening of Curry County’s economy has had no impact on COVID-19 cases in the county. Two weeks after Curry County was dropped from the extreme risk tier to moderate risk, a move that allowed restaurants to reopen for indoor dining and allowed venues such as movie theaters to open to reduced crowds, the number of new cases is continuing to fall. In her weekly report, Curry County Public Health Administrator Sherrie Ward said only four new COVID-19 cases were reported in the last week.

County hires new treasurer .... again

Because of the reduced cases, Curry County dropped to low risk Tuesday, the lowest tier in the state. In low risk, counties are given more economic freedom, including the ability to eat indoors at restaurants with a maximum capacity of 50 percent. Three of the new cases were from south county residents in the Brookings area and one was from a northern county resident. The Curry Health Network also released information on COVID-19 vaccines, creating waiting lists for anyone over the age of 65 who want to vaccinated. Public health is working with Curry County hospitals to complete Phase 1A vaccinations, which go to frontline healthcare workers and first responders. The next phase, as outlined by the state, will include

teachers and staff at schools and well as childcare and pre-school workers. “We are preparing for this first sub-group of Phase 1b by working directly with school district representatives to schedule their staff,” the health network wrote in a press release. “If you are a child care or preschool worker, you may submit your information to be put on the list for future scheduling in this first sub-group of Phase 1b by emailing covidvaccine@curryhealth.org.” After educators, the emphasis will turn to senior citizens in the community. The Curry Health Network has created four waiting lists depending on age. Those age 80 and over can get on the waiting list by signing up at https://www.eventbrite. com/e/80-curry-health-net-

David Barnes takes over post following abrupt resignation of Douglas Baker BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The Pilot

For the second time in less than two weeks, the Curry County Board of Commissioners voted to appoint a new treasurer through the end of 2022. After Douglas Baker resigned from the post Friday morning, commissioners held and emergency meeting and appointed David Barnes as treasurer. During the meeting where Baker was appointed Jan. 12, Barnes was the second choice, with commissioners voting at that meeting to name his as the replacement if Baker did not work out. At the meeting Friday, Board Chair Court Boice suggested delaying the decision a few days to allow commissioners to interview Barnes and his original favorite, George Rhodes, a second time. With outgoing Treasurer Debbie Crumley saying she will only work through the end of January, time to find a replacement is running out. “This has been quite a time,” Boice said. “We’re aware of where we’re at. I don’t want to act in haste here and be in the same position in a week. I’m asking the board to consider re-interviewing those two people.” But Commissioner Chris Paasch, who favored Barnes originally, said it was time to act. “We’ve already basically appointed Mr. Barnes,” Paasch said. Curry County Counsel John Huttl agreed, explaining the vote to hire Baker included a portion to name Barned as the second choice. “It actually become a motion and it was voted unanimously that Mr. Barnes be appointed if Mr. Baker did not work out,” Huttl said. Paasch said that vote should still count only nine days later as he made a motion to appoint Barnes as treasurer. “In my opinion, we’ve already been through the process,” Paasch said. “This has been going on a long time. We are one week away from our treasurer leaving this county and leaving us without a treasurer. We already voted on this.” More Treasurer, Page A3

Family finds way to Brookings with cafe dream BY ZACK DEMARS The Pilot

It’s no wonder the Crino family’s café is named after a compass. In the past year, they’ve felt the Earth’s invisible forces bringing them to Brookings. “Our whole family just felt like a magnet was pulling us here,” recalled Natalie Crino. A year ago, the family was living in Utah. Natalie and her husband Peter were working corporate IT

jobs, and the family would spend their vacations on the Oregon Coast. Now, the new owners of the Compass Rose Café in Brookings live where they used to vacation and make a living with Italian doughnuts, not computer servers. “There’s some bumps in the road, but we’re on the right track here,” Natalie Crino said. She said the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic gave them the chance to move out west and

change jobs — but the idea to do so didn’t start there. Both Natalie and Peter had worked in the restaurant industry before they became systems engineers for corporate firms, and baking was a hobby of Natalie’s (cookies were her specialty). For at least 15 years, the pair dreamed about owning a restaurant or café in retirement. And over the past few years, their increasing vacations to the coast became daydream fodder, too.

Natalie had grown up in northern California, near the redwoods. Peter had grown up in Rhode Island, near the ocean. Thinking of moving, they researched which cities on the Oregon Coast had the most favorable weather, and they found Brookings, conveniently between the ocean and the redwoods. “All of this just said this is where we belong,” Natalie remembered.

Governor pushes ahead with plan to vaccinate teachers BY ZACK DEMARS The Pilot

Oregon is pressing forward with plans to be one of a small number of states to offer COVID-19 vaccines to school teachers and education staff before the elderly and those with chronic health conditions. Gov. Kate Brown joined teachers and officials from the Oregon Health Authority in a carefully choreographed press conference Jan. 22 to defend the decision. “It’s really pretty simple: I’m using every single tool we have to get kids back into the classroom this school year,” Brown said. That’ll be hard to do safely until the teachers and educational staff who can see hundreds of students per day are vaccinated against the virus. So, the state’s put those individuals near the top of the vaccine priority list, right below health care workers and first responders.

“We also know so many families have been unable to meet the needs of distance learning,” Brown said. Brown and the other state leaders put the decision simply, saying vaccinating teachers and educational staff before seniors and the elderly is the only way the state’s students will be able to

return to in-person classes before the school year ends. “There’s exponential value here, too. For every teacher who’s back in the classroom, they help 20, 30, 35 students get their life back on track,” Brown said. “The harsh reality is we are managing a scarce resource right now. I wish, I wish we had more vaccines right now.” Still, there is a bright spot for Oregon’s seniors: Brown said the state had completed the first dose of vaccinations for seniors living in long-term care centers, which have made up over half the state’s virus deaths. Though COVID cases and hospitalizations statewide have been on the decline in recent weeks, the conference came during the deadliest week of the pandemic to date, with 195 deaths reported statewide.

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Mabel Dreiszus 1927 - 2021

On January 8, Mabel Dreiszus, long time Brookings resident and businesswoman, passed away peacefully at home, sitting in her favorite chair with a view to the port and harbor, after a quiet dinner with her son and daughter. She was 93. Mabel was born in Selfridge, North Dakota in 1927 to Philip and Eva Schwartz. During the Great Depression she slept with her two sisters in one bed, which was too small to sleep shoulder-to-shoulder, so two would go in feet first and one would have to go in head first. Her family eventually moved to Vancouver, Washington. When she was 15, she met George Dreiszus, who was 17 and already a merchant seaman. When George returned from WWII she was

19 and they married over the objections of her parents, who would not attend the wedding, thinking she might change her mind. However, time proved her right and her parents quickly came to love George, and they were married for 68 years. They began their family in Portland but moved to Brookings in 1963 with children David, Linda, Bradford, and Daniel after purchasing what was then known as the Bonn Motel. The remote, coastal landscape inspired her and she began painting seascapes and local scenes. She joined the local art association and began entering her work locally over the next 55 years, typically taking home a ribbon. She collaborated on a mural at the high school that still exists. Upon “retirement” they developed properties in Brookings, Gold Beach, Dallas, and Estacada. She and George loved to travel in their small motor home, venturing to all western states, Alaska, Canada, and Mexico. After a pause in travel, they sold their motor home, but the travel bug reappeared and they once ended up sleeping in a minivan in the Mexican desert while trying a shortcut

The program seeks to forever change trauma informed practices BY JILLIAN WARD For The Pilot

SOUTH COAST ─ In Coos and Curry counties, schools are taking on a pilot project to address trauma and the social-emotional needs of students. Tenneal Wetherell, superintendent for the South Coast Education Service District, said getting the pilot project off the ground amid the pandemic “was a heavy lift.” The project is being led by the University of Oregon, with South Coast ESD in partnership with the Oregon Research Schools Network, utilizing what is learned to implement the program throughout the state. “Last year, the Student Success Act was passed and within that it was required that school districts do engagement sessions with the community, teachers and underrepresented populations,” Wetherell recalled. These sessions were to learn what these groups needed to make the most impacts on education and success for students. It was during these sesPamela A.

to the Sea of Cortez. She was 80. After George’s passing in 2015, family and friends became her increased focus. She loved playing cards and games with dear friends and particularly enjoyed hosting. Her house was seldom empty as she often had extended visits from children and grandchildren. She was a long-time member of Grace Bible Church and proclaimed her faith till her last day. Shortly after her 93rd birthday, she fell and broke her hip for the second time. She faced this challenge with toughness, resilience, and faith. After many medical complications over the next three months her prayer was to either go home or go to Heaven. Her Lord answered both of her prayers. She was preceded in death by her husband George, son David, parents Phil and Eva, brothers Walter and Sidney, and sister Lilly Ann. She is survived by her older sister Ina, daughter Linda (Don), sons Brad and Dan (Tetty); twelve grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild. A Memorial honoring Mabel’s life will be announced at a later date.

Oregon drops 25,500 jobs in December

Oregon’s unemployment rose to 6.4% in December from 6.0% in November. This was the state’s first monthly increase in its unemployment rate following seven months of declines. Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate remained at 6.7% in both November and December. Oregon’s over-the-month percent job loss was much greater than nationally. In December, Oregon lost 1.4% of nonfarm payroll employment while the U.S. shed 0.1%. Oregon’s total nonfarm payroll employment dropped by 25,500 jobs in December, following a revised gain of 2,100 jobs in November. The drop followed seven consecutive months of gains. Total nonfarm payroll employment stood at 1.783 million in December,

emotions,” Wetherell explained. “… (It) could mean they need to fill a gap in a social-emotional skillset. We want to take care of every single school on the South

Coast … and make sure every building has one student support specialist.” In addition, these specialists act as a liaison connecting students to trained mental health specialists or school counselors. “Of course, we want a ton of mental health specialists in our schools, as well as school counselors,” Wetherell said. “But we don’t have the money for the number we would need, and we don’t have them here. They don’t live here and aren’t people you can readily find and move in. When you need 50, that taps us out.” The idea behind the project was to create a position to bridge the gap and still connect students with those professionals. In using the resources available, “we have … willing people in our schools now… We’re asking them to be present, ready and dedicated and help facilitate and wrap around the support in their school and community to fill the complex gaps that need more highly trained people,” Wetherell said. Jeffrey Todahl, director of the Center for the Prevention of Abuse and Neglect at the University of Oregon, is part of the pilot project efforts. “One thing the South Coast has done is made a decision to refashion staff positions into student support specialists,” he said. “I think it’s the first district in Oregon that’s done it like this. It feels like we’re lucky to be part of a pioneer effort.” He said the goal in setting up these student support specialists is to turn toward the stress that is a common part of student’s lives. “There is research and wisdom that if a student feels connected and like they belong, then it translates into better student outcomes,” he said. “Schools around the United States who have done a good job of being more trauma informed showed higher graduation rates, higher retention rates, fewer discipline referrals. There are powerful outcomes that can happen.” The idea to do the project started last spring. But then the pandemic hit and the concern became whether there would be enough money to even launch. “All spring and summer we started grant writing and received grants from the Oregon Community Foundation, Ford Family Foundation, Wild Rivers Coast Alliance and Wild Rivers Community Foundation,” Wetherell said. In total, the project received $124,000 in grant money. The funds from the Student Success Act that came in totaled $450,000, though was $75,000 less than planned. With the funds secured, the project kicked off in four local school districts in August. “These student support specialists have been in place all year and we give them support with the University of Oregon, which is our lead, and the Oregon Research Education Network, who is our partner at the University of Oregon,” Wetherell said. At the start of the school year, everyone involved already understood the importance to act fast and get on top of student needs in these capacities. However, COVID-19 compounded the traumatic experiences, Wetherell said, making it even more needed. “…Abuse, neglect, isolation, fears and emotions swirling around us … when you push this on children with existing trauma or without the skills to process this then some kids need more

upon their return to instruction,” Wetherell said. Because of this, the project was pushed forward so that when students did return to school – even in an online capacity – then there was someone able to help them immediately. Wetherell acknowledged that the distance learning did make it difficult, that “even though you could see them online, there is no human contact in the digital world to a degree,” she said. But now that many students are coming back to the classroom, it has made helping students easier. Wetherell said that most districts continued to hold in-person learning for kindergarten through 3rd grade, while the Powers, Reedsport, and Gold Beach school districts remained open due to their small size. “…We are seeing greater success than those who are offsite, but once we have a connection we see immediate relief in students and better understanding for us as educators to address the trauma,” she said. Since the pilot project began, Wetherell said people have reached out to see how it works. “…There is interest in moving it beyond the South Coast,” she said. “The University of Oregon is taking the opportunity to build it in a pilot methodology and then take this to other places and see how it can be replicated.” Right now, weekly coaching sessions are being held virtually with the student support specialists involved and pinpoint areas that need strengthening. If an area bubbles up from the weekly calls, Wetherell said someone is found at the university or another location with the necessary skills to participate in the monthly training meetings.

Project Two Now the next step for the project is securing more funding so it can continue. “This is only good as long as it’s implemented,” she said. “We’re tired of the ‘one-and-done’ and then seeing it go away when the funding goes away.” As more secure funding is sought, Wetherell said the second part of the project is the Trauma Informed School System. This includes four school districts partnering with them in the first year with the goal to analyze the entire school system. “…Each building (will be looked at) within the lens and concepts of trauma and see how we can make adjustments so our schools become more knowledgeable, informed, and responsive to trauma,” she said. “We can’t make lasting gains if the system stays the same. So our project number two analyzes that and makes changes as necessary.” For Wetherell, she said the process of implementing the pilot project “has been amazing” and “wouldn’t have happened without the full support from the superintendents and willingness and effort from the University of Oregon.” “I hope to see this effort create lasting change on the South Coast to fill the gaps and provide our students with foundational skills,” Wetherell continued, stating that through this program students will learn the types of processes needed as an adult to deal with hard experiences. “We want them to find themselves as healthy adults who can deal with adversity that comes their way. And it absolutely will come their way.”

Commissioners take stand on two state bills BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The Pilot

Curry County commissioners took a stand on two bills proposed in the legislature, voting to support a measure that will improve broadband access while voting to oppose a bill that would ban lead weights and shotgun shells. The board of commissioners voted unanimously to send letters to Curry County representatives as well as Gov. Kate Brown on the two pieces of proposed legislation. The first bill, House Bill 2654, would allow utility companies to put in broadband equipment on their existing utility easements. Brent Bishop, the CEO of Coos Curry Electric, said the bill could be a big benefit for extending broadband access. He said his company is currently working to provide Beacon

So, the family made a plan. When the time was right, they’d sell their house in Utah, buy one in Brookings, pack up the four kids and the dog and set out for their new home. They’d be able to keep their jobs, working remotely, too. “We would wake up six months ago and ask ourselves, ‘Why aren’t we in Brookings yet?’” Natalie said. But when they were four days away from closing on the sale of their home, the pandemic took its toll on the family the same way it has for many: Peter was laid off. The Crinos were left

“We know that deaths are a lagging indicator, and they take a while to show up, but each of these deaths leaves a hole in the lives of friends, family and neighbors,” said Rachel Banks, public health director with the Oregon Health Authority. Still, the majority of deaths in Oregon associated with the virus – 77% – have been associated with people 70 years and older. The choice to put that group behind Oregon’s educators in line for the vaccine comes down to how quickly the state will be able to vaccinate teachers and staff, said Dave Baden, OHA’s chief financial officer who presented statistics on the state’s expected dose delivery and use schedule. “We could have taken a different path. We could have vaccinated seniors first,” Baden said. “But because we could only count on 50,000 prime doses per week, in that scenario, we wouldn’t reach a critical mass of educators until we were well into May.” Instead, Baden said the state’s plan pushes vaccinations of Oregon’s seniors out two weeks from what had been previously planned, when the state expected a greater number of doses. That means seniors over 80 will be eligible for the vaccine starting Feb. 8, and other seniors will be eligible in the weeks after that. In the meantime, the state’s 105,000 teachers and school staff and 47,000 early learning workers will be eligible for the vaccine Jan. 25. Baden projected over half

Broadband to all existing members, which covers all of Curry County. “The fiber optic lines will be built on Coos Curry Electric easements,” he said. “Our current easements do not provide for broadband service within the easement. We’ve estimated it’s going to cost our project hundreds of thousands of dollars and thousands of man hours of labor just to update those easements and getting those broadband easements recorded. This is an overarching solution.” Bishop said the bill does impact landowners’ rights. The legislation requires all landowners to be notified and gives property owners the right to seek redress. “Best of all, the new bill does not cost the taxpayers a penny,” Bishop said. “What it does is it helps clear the path for broadband in rural service territories.”

The bill is sponsored by Rep. David Brock Smith, who represents Curry County in the Oregon House. “I’m here today to encourage the county commissioners to support this bill and support Coos Curry Electric’s effort to extend broadband to all of our rural areas,” Bishop said. Board Chair Court Boice said he was happy to support the legislation. “I’m very excited about this, very happy at Coos Curry’s investment,” he said. “This is a big thing for rural areas and especially Curry County.” Bishop said the legislation was modeled after bills in other states and would protect private property rights. That was enough to convince Commissioner Chris Paasch. “As long as property owners are duly notified and have a chance to speak, I’m OK with it,” Paasch said.

Commissioners voted 2-0 to support the legislation. John Herzog recused himself because he is a member of the Coos Curry Electric board. Paasch then brought up Senate Bill 592, which would make it a crime to use lead weights when fishing or lead shot when hunting. “I saw this bill last week, and it concerns me,” Paasch said. “I can imagine the downside to this for fishing, for recreation in the rivers in our county. The punishment is a Class A misdemeanor, that’s one step from a felony.” Paasch said after the reading the proposed bill, he just doesn’t see the need for it. “I don’t understand the reason, and the punishment, it seems too harsh,” he said. “Is there something here I am missing? I understand laws are out in to protect the citi-

wondering: Do we move anyway? Soon, they got an answer, when a café – their retirement dream – went on the market for sale in Brookings – their planned new home. It was, of course, named after a compass, a symbol of finding your own way. “That, too, seemed like a sign,” Natalie said. So, they took the leap. The Crinos moved to Brookings in October, spending a few weeks working in the café alongside its former owner before finalizing the purchase exactly a month after they moved. Now, most of their belongings remain in storage as the family moves between vacation rentals and waits to find the right house. When they arrived, they

found the café was just as they’d hoped. Decorated with warm wood tones and pieces from local artists, the place was designed just how Natalie would’ve done it, she said. What’s more, the new owners found a supportive community with a sweet tooth. “There’s a need and a want for something different right now,” Natalie said. They brought some fresh ideas to the café. Chief among them is the bombalone (or bombaloni, if there’s more than one), an airy doughnut filled with flavorful custard, topped with icing and inspired by the family’s Italian heritage. Those have gone over well in town. “We’re so grateful we’ve

got support,” Natalie said. Changing regulations enacted in response to the pandemic have been a challenge for every business, but Compass Rose has been able to weather the storm a little better than others. The graband-go nature means to-go food is a breeze. The café’s been to-go only since the start of the pandemic, with the tables inside rearranged to encourage social distancing while in line. Some customers express disappointment they can’t sit inside and eat, even while state regulations would allow it at reduced capacity. But Natalie said she encourages her customers to make the best of it, pointing them to her favorite places to sit, eat and take in the area’s natural beauty.

will have the first dose of the vaccine by the time seniors become eligible. What’s more, given the state’s current rate of vaccinations, Baden projected about two thirds of the phase 1A population, which includes a broad range of health care workers, will be vaccinated by Jan. 25. By May, he expects the state will have vaccinated a “critical mass” of its seniors. While Baden said the state might receive an increased supply of vaccines in the coming weeks, that’s not certain, and the state’s efforts are entirely dependent on the supply it receives. “Let me emphasize, our timelines depend on the doses we receive from the federal government,” Baden said. “If we receive more, we can move faster. If we receive less, we’ll have no choice but to slow down.”

During Friday’s conference, the governor invited teachers and a student to help her make the case for vaccinating the education workforce ahead of seniors. “The main concern I hear is that many parents, caregivers and guardians feel illequipped to help teach their child, while also showing a great deal of concern about their child’s social-emotional health and the feelings of isolation,” said Nicole Butler-Hooton, who teaches second grade in Eugene. Butler-Hooton said online learning has been hard for students, who’ve reported depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and a lack of motivation while they’re unable to join peers and teachers in the classroom. Mayra Pelayo, a kindergarten teacher in Ontario, went on to say teachers also want

to be back in the classroom. “I am grateful that teachers are next in line for the COVID vaccines. We are just full of emotions – we know everybody needs those vaccines, but we really want our schools to open, and all the teachers to be protected, because at the end, we are parents, we are mothers, we are daughters, we have kids and we want to be safe, too,” Pelayo said. “But we really want to be protected, and we are desperate to get back in our classrooms.”

zens, however this one seems far reaching. Firstly, the fish don’t eat the sinkers. I have been fishing for about 60 years, and I have never caught a fish with a sinker in his belly. “In my opinion, there is more damaging in this bill than good. I would urge Rep. Smith to defeat this bill.” Paasch was not alone in his thinking. “I’m really surprised with the level of punishment,” Boice said. “You have to read it two or three times for it to sink in.” The punishment range would allow violators to be sentenced up to 364 days in jail and face fines up to $6,200. “I completely agree with Commissioner Paasch,” Herzog said. Commissioners then voted 3-0 against SB 592 and agreed to send

“Don’t let to-go only dissuade you,” she said. Her business has another advantage, too, in that it’s almost entirely run by the family. Peter’s in the café when he’s not working his new IT job for the Brookings-Harbor School District; Chloe, 17, takes on barista duties; Liam, 15, washes dishes; and Ava, 12, helps bake. Vivian, 9, works at the front counter, and has discovered customers usually tip more when she politely chats with them.

`

Still, the days aren’t without challenges. Thursdays and Fridays are slow, but Sundays and Mondays, when roadtrippers are grabbing a bite on their way out of town, are busy. The busiest of days can leave the family wondering why they decided to take this leap at all. But a walk on the beach is a helpful reminder they belong here. “2020 really became the year people asked themselves, ‘Am I going to live for me?’” Natalie said.

State of the State: Brown talks fires, equity, COVID-19 BY MONIQUE MERRILL Country Media

One year ago, Gov. Kate Brown established an incident management team to prepare the state against COVID-19, and on Jan. 21 she delivered her 2021 State of the State address reflecting on the past year defined by the pandemic and looking ahead to the future. She likened the pandemic to a marathon and said it was uncertain at this time one year ago what kind of race the fight against the virus would be. “We didn’t know what lay ahead,” she said. “Whether the race would be short and steep or long and arduous.” Brown went through the state’s

response to the pandemic and justified her decisions to close and reopen businesses and schools based on metrics created by the state. “Some said it was too cautious, others thought it was too risky,” she said about allowing some businesses to reopen in May. The result of the actions taken by the state to tamp down the pandemic has placed Oregon in a position to look toward recovery, Brown said. Nearly 2,000 people in the state have died from the pandemic, and over 135,000 people have been infected since the onset of the pandemic. Brown addressed the summer protests in Portland calling for racial justice following the police-caused killing of George Floyd on May 25.

“Many of us were awakening to what has always been true: Our Black, Latinx, Pacific Islander and other communities of color are disproportionately impacted by the crises that befall our nation,” she said. She also addressed the wildfires that swept through the state in September, displacing thousands and killing nine. “Our friends and neighbors lost their homes, entire towns were wiped off the map and smoke filled the sky for weeks,” Brown said. The fires burned over 1.2 million acres of land, and 1,000 survivors remain displaced. The 45-minute address was delivered online this year and featured four guest speakers to speak toward

the topics raised by Brown: a pediatrician at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital; a rural fire chief; and two members of an advisory racial justice council. Antwon Chavis, the pediatrician who joined Brown during the address, spoke to the trends he’s seen over the last year and said there has been a disproportionate effect on families of color and heightened financial stress across the board. Christiana Rainbow Plews joined Brown to speak about her firsthand experience fighting the wildfires while her own home burned. Brown used the conversation to speak on the wildfire bill she has reintroduced, stating the importance of preventing fires and safely and efficiently responding to fires.

Next, Brown introduced Reyna Lopez, executive director of the state’s farmworkers union, and Paul Solomon, executive director of an organization that helps people with criminal convictions transition from prison. Both are members of Brown’s racial justice advisory council and spoke about ways to advocate for racial equity. Brown also proposed expanding access to broadband across the state and increasing health care funding— two needs that have been exacerbated by the effects of the pandemic. “Even when you’re close to the finish line, the final stretch can be the most challenging of all,” Brown said. “We can see the finish line, but the race is far from over.”

Be wary of COVID-19 scams Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, criminals have used tactics like identity theft and social engineering to defraud government and healthcare programs and illegally cash in—and the new year has brought some new material for them to keep up their scams. COVID-19 vaccines. New PPP loans. Expanded government assistance. All are positive developments toward addressing the pandemic’s impact, but they also afford opportunities for criminals to fraudulently exploit.

The Threats Continue On Dec. 21, federal agencies alerted the public regarding the high potential for fraud during the pandemic, especially now that a vaccine is available. Meanwhile, fraudsters are continuing their global phishing and spoofing campaigns, baiting victims with bogus promises of COVID-19 testing, grants and prescription cards in exchange for personally identifiable information. “Given the impact COVID-19 has had on all of our lives, it’s no surprise that fraudsters are using it to target peoples’ money and sensitive information,” says Kathryn Albright, Global Payments & Deposits executive with Umpqua Bank. “But if you know what kinds of red flags to be aware of right now, it can really help protect your business, and you personally, in the long-run.”

Beware of These Scams • Recorded phone calls (“Robo-

calls”) offering the chance to avoid lines and get vaccinated sooner for a set price (e.g., $79.99). • Advertisements and price gouging for the sale of fake or potentially dangerous (and unapproved, illegitimate) COVID-19 “medicine” or treatments. • Solicitations, whether in person or via text, email, or phone, asking you to provide account information (financial or medical), click an unfamiliar or unexpected link, or visit an unfamiliar webpage in order to “sign up” for treatment. • Bogus “contact tracers” who reach out to unsuspecting victims and ask for PII (e.g., Medicare number or financial information) or attempt to collect payment for scheduling a test. Legitimate contact tracers don’t need such information or payment.

Tips to Note According to the AARP, the key points federal officials want the public to understand when it comes to preventing such scams are: • Go to a trusted source for vaccine information (e.g., your doctor or local health department). • Don’t buy a vaccine or treatment off the Internet. • The vaccine is provided at no cost, although providers may charge a fee for administration (that can be reimbursed). • Ignore any solicitations about the vaccine that are delivered to you via text message, social media, phone call, email, or in person, because health officials are not con-

Remain Vigilant For additional information regarding the COVID-19 response and updated vaccine distribution details, visit trusted sites like CDC. gov and the FDA vaccine web page periodically—and exercise caution regarding unexpected or unfamiliar communications on the topic.

If You See Something, Say Something “Fraudsters are adapting fast, and even the smallest amount of fraud can quickly become a scam epidemic,” says Albright. “Try to stay ahead of the fraud game and always keep a healthy skepticism; hyper-vigilance is necessary, even regarding an unexpected opportunity for COVID-19 treatment, as it’s often said, ’If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.’” Contact your local law enforcement agencies if you think you’ve received fraudulent communication regarding COVID-19 treatment. If you suspect that your Umpqua Bank account has been compromised, contact our Customer Resource Center at (866) 486-7782 as soon as possible for assistance.

Racial Inequality Solutions

We cannot solve racial inequality with legislation alone, it comes with education on racial injustice and inequality at all levels of life. I’m not an educator so I have no lesson plan for this very large problem, but I do hope there are those out there who have the skills. We all need to make an effort to educate ourselves on the basic issues such as those related to housing, schooling and, most of all, employment. You can go on-line to trusted sites, such as Wikipedia, for data. Also, some government sites like Departments of Commerce, Edu-

cation, Health and Human Services and Housing and Urban Development. Keep digging on “United States Government Departments” and you’ll find lots of useful data to help you satisfy your curiosity. One solution to abdication is education. Let’s do it. PJ Estlund Gold Beach, OR

Loeb Park river trail open again The river trail at Loeb Park is open once again thanks to a major culvert reconstruction project by the county road department. They did a very good job as a permanent

fix to that section of the trail. Unfortunately, recent high river waters have washed out two small sections on the east end of the trail. One can be easily walked around if you follow the pink ribbons. However, the last 20 feet is now an impossible easy fix without major rip rap repairs that will soon be necessary simply because the river bank is getting within feet of the roadway there. Meanwhile there are two earlier access points to the roadway which allow walkers to cross the road and get to a spur for the redwood trail. Kevin Vanginderen Brookings

C&K Market transitions to employee ownership C&K Market, an independent chain of grocery stores in Oregon and California, completed a transaction to become 100 percent employee-owned through an employee stock ownership plan trust. This enables employees to receive retirement benefits linked to the company’s future equity value. The plan was established on December 29, 2020. “At our core, we’re a community grocery store that proudly serves its neighbors,” said Karl Wissmann, president and CEO of C&K Market. “We tailor what we offer to meet the needs of each community we serve. That commitment continues through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan, which al-

lows us to maintain our independence and lets employees benefit from our success.” The chain started in 1956 with one market in Brookings. Today it has 38 stores in Oregon and northern California, operating under the banners of Ray’s Food Place, Shop Smart and C&K Market. Wissmann noted that the ESOP builds on C&K Market’s strengths: employees who go the extra mile for their customers, strong community connections and a passion to continually improving and updating its stores and their offerings. He pointed to remodeling of 100% of its stores over the past six years, as well the launch of new departments including Healthy

Living, Pet Centers and Foods of the World. Additionally, each store added about 2,500 new items. “These accomplishments were often motivated by what employees heard from customers,” Wissmann said. “We strive to listen and deliver what our customers want. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved and know that greater things are coming, because our employees built such a strong foundation.” Wissmann called C&K Markets “a chain of independent stores rather than an independent chain of stores. We serve a variety of communities; each has unique needs. Our passion is meeting those needs and continuing to give back to those

communities, while evolving to be their grocery store of choice,” he said. “We started an initiative some five years ago to give customers a reason to shop in our stores rather than a big box store,” Wissmann continued. “We listen to customers and respond to their preferences. Shoppers are buying more from us because we are adding real value to each of the communities that we serve. “Our future is definitely bright as we enter our next chapter,” he said. “This is the best possible succession plan for a company with strong local roots and dedicated employees.” No changes are planned in management structure, operating policies or practices.

Coos-Curry Farm Bureau offers three scholarships This year, Coos-Curry Farm Bureau is offering three $1,000 scholarships for the 2021-22 school year. The scholarships will be given to high school seniors who plan to major in an agriculture-related field at an Oregon college, university or community college. Current Oregon college students who are majoring in an agricultural related field are also eligible. Coos-Curry County Farm Bureau also opened up their scholarship criteria

to include students from families who are Coos-Curry County Farm Bureau Voting or Supporting members that will be attending an Oregon college, university or community college in the field of their choice during the 2021-22 school year. Financial need is not the primary basis for selection but is a factor in the selection process. Academic performance, agriculture achievement in FFA or 4-H and/or participation in school

and community activities are basic criteria evaluated by the Coos-Curry County Farm Bureau Scholarship Committee. Application forms are available on the Oregon Farm Bureau Scholarship website at OregonFB.org/scholarships or may be requested by calling 541347-3453. Completed applications with a high school or college transcript are due April 1. Winners will be notified in writing by April 15.

Researchers find dogs are paying attention BY SEAN NEALON

Oregon State University

Dogs synchronize their behavior with the children in their family, but not as much as they do with adults, Oregon State University researchers have found. The new findings are important because there is a growing body of evidence that dogs can help children in many ways, including with social development, increasing physical activity, managing anxiety or as a source of attachment in the face of changing family structures, the researchers said. Yet, very little research has focused on how dogs perceive and socially engage with children. “The great news is that this study suggests dogs are paying a lot of attention to the kids that they live with,” said Oregon State animal behaviorist Monique Udell, the lead author of the study. Udell said dogs are responsive to children and, in many cases, behaving in synchrony with them, indicators of positive affiliation and a foundation for building strong bonds.

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

“One interesting thing we have observed is that dogs are matching their child’s behavior less frequently than what we have seen between dogs and adult caretakers, which suggests that while they may view children as social companions, there are also some differences that we need to understand better,” Udell said. Co-authors were Shelby Wanser, a faculty research assistant in Udell’s lab, and Megan MacDonald, an associate professor in Oregon State’s College of Public Health and Human Sciences, who studies how motor skills and physically active lifestyles improve the lives of children with and without disabilities The researchers recruited 30 youth between the ages of 8 and 17 years old – 83% of which had a developmental disability – to take part in the study with their family dog. The experiments took place in a large empty room. Color-coded taped lines were placed on the floor, and the children were given instructions on how to walk the lines in a standardized way with their off-leash dog.

The researchers videotaped the experiments and analyzed behavior based on three elements: (1) Activity synchrony, which means how much time the dog and child were moving or stationary at the same time. (2) Proximity, or how much time the dog and child were within 1 meter of each other. (3) Orientation, how much time the dog was oriented in the same direction as the child. They found that dogs exhibited behavioral synchronization with the children at a higher rate than would be expected by chance for all three variables. During their assessments, they found: • Active synchrony for an average of 60.2% of the time. Broken down further, the dogs were moving an average of 73.1% of the time that the children were moving and were stationary an average of 41.2% of the time the children were stationary. • Proximity within 1 meter of each other for an average of 27.1% of the time. • Orientation in the same direction for an average of 33.5% of the time. While child-dog synchrony occurred more often that what would be expected by chance, those percentages are all lower than what other researchers have found when studying interactions between dogs and adults in their household. Those

studies found “active synchrony” 81.8% of the time, but at 49.1% with shelter dogs. They found “proximity” 72.9% of the time and 39.7% with shelter dogs. No studies on dog-human behavioral synchronization have previously assessed body orientation. The Oregon State researchers are conducting more research to better understand factors that contribute Contributed Photo to differences While research has found dogs can have a lot of positive impacts on a in levels of child’s life, there are also risks associated with the dog-child relationship. synchrony and other aspects of “We’re hoping this research dogs enough credit.

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

DANCER PINES FOR PARTNER WHO’S DEVOTED TO ANOTHER DEAR ABBY: I am a middle-aged divorcee. I recently took up ballroom dancing, which has been a long-held dream, and I’m enjoying my life. However, there are few single men my age around. Most of the available men are 20 years older or 20 years younger. From Day One, I have had a crush on one of the few men my age in the dance group. We eventually became best friends, spending all our free time together. I soon learned that he is married, but separated and looking to divorce. However, he has a crush of his own, and he talks to me about her constantly. We have so much in common, but he only has eyes for her.

I realize it isn’t healthy for me to pine away for someone who doesn’t think of me the way I think of him. Yet walking away would mean losing my dance partner and best friend and going back to sitting out dances, watching from the sidelines, or worse, sitting alone at home. Do I maintain the status quo and suffer in silence over his rejection? Or would it be healthier to move

on, upend my life and isolate myself from him when I have no other circle of friends to support me? -- DANCING AWAY IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR DANCING: Because of the pandemic, leave things as they are -- for now. However, as soon as it’s feasible, find another dance group -- or two -- to join. If you do, you will establish other relationships with both women and men, and have a better chance of finding what you’re looking for. *** DEAR ABBY: My ex-wife, my son’s mother, moved out a few years back and settled about six hours from us. We did halfway trips in the beginning so they could maintain a relationship, and I have even driven the whole way a few times to help with that.

Over the last two years, her interest has diminished, and they haven’t seen each other at all. I’ve offered the halfway trip, even offered my couch if she came the entire way, especially around holidays. She hasn’t taken me up on it. Our son is now entering his teens, and I bought him a cellphone. She has his number, but doesn’t call or text. She even missed his birthday. My problem is, he has started to recognize her lack of interest, and I can tell it hurts. I thought about changing his number and cutting her off altogether, like yanking off a bandage, but I don’t know what’s best. Please advise. -SANE DAD IN MARYLAND DEAR DAD: You are a loving and constant father. As you have realized, now that your son is getting older, he is becoming increasingly

aware of his mother’s emotional neglect. I do not think you should change his number and cut her off from him. She’s doing a good job of doing that herself. I DO think it’s important your son knows he can talk to you about anything and get honest answers. Something is clearly wrong with his mother. He should not go through life thinking her behavior was caused by anything lacking in himself, so if and when the subject comes up, answer his questions as kindly as you can. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

OSU scientists determine better way for finding fish BY MOLLY ROSBACH

Oregon State University

Delivering a minor electric shock into a stream to reveal any fish lurking nearby may be the gold standard for detecting fish populations, but it’s not much fun for the trout. Scientists at Oregon State University have found that sampling stream water for evidence of the presence of various species using environmental DNA, known as eDNA, can be more accurate than electrofishing, without disrupting the fish. “It’s revolutionizing the way we do fish ecology work,” said Brooke Penaluna, a research fish biologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service who also has an appointment in OSU’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. “You can identify species from a bottle of water using genetic tools. When you go out to the site, I can tell you what’s in that stream just based on what’s in this bottle of water.” Penaluna is lead author on a study published Wednesday

in Ecosphere that compared the efficacy of eDNA sampling and electrofishing in detecting how far upstream coastal cutthroat trout were present in coastal and Cascade streams throughout Washington and Oregon. Determining how far upstream fish are present is crucial for guiding forest management practices, as streams with fish in them receive more protections than streams without fish. It also helps inform conservation by improving scientists’ understanding of specific species’ distribution and movements. Electrofishing has been the standard method for surveying fish distribution in bodies of water since the 1960s. It involves sticking two electrodes into the water and applying direct current, which affects fish swimming nearby and causes them to swim toward one of the electrodes. The person doing the sampling can then scoop up the dazed fish in a net and collect data before returning them to the water, where they resume normal activity within a few minutes. Research sampling for

eDNA has been used for over a decade but is not widely used yet in industry or resource management. It involves collecting water samples on-site and running lab tests to check for the presence of DNA for certain species of fish, which the fish shed regularly through excretion and changes in their skin or mucus. The OSU study tested the effectiveness of eDNA in finding the “last fish” point, the farthest upstream fish are present. The researchers looked for coastal cutthroat trout as they are the fish most commonly found the highest upstream in streams on the west side of the Pacific Northwest, due to their life cycle and size. Researchers chose 60 coastal streams in Oregon and Washington and conducted eDNA sampling and electro-fishing every 50 meters up to 250 meters upstream of the last recorded “last fish” point for each stream. They found that in streams where electrofishing detected no trout, there was still a 40% chance that eDNA sampling would show evidence

of their presence. eDNA detection revealed fish higher upstream than electrofishing did in 31 streams, in some cases up to 250 meters above where electrofishing pinpointed the “last fish.” However, both methods still struggled to detect trout when the fish were in low density. The researchers determined that eDNA is a useful complement to electrofishing, especially in places where debris or vegetation make electrofishing impractical, but it’s not a full replacement. eDNA detection is less disruptive to fish and requires fewer permits for researchers, but electrofishing provides researchers the opportunity to record other physical data about the fish, including size, health and appearance, that eDNA detection does not allow. “We’re trying to make the point that we’re not aiming to eliminate electrofishing; just that we can use this as a complement to that, to provide more information quickly and cleanly,” said Ivan Arismendi, co-author on the study and an assistant profes

sor in OSU’s Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. “You can use one and the other like a confirmatory tool — so if you have a question about endangered species, you can use both, and you can be more robust about the presence if both methods agree.” The researchers hope eDNA detection becomes more popular, as the cost and time required to run eDNA tests continues to fall and field-based equipment is becoming more readily available. eDNA detection in a nearby stream would even be

possible to use for a school project, Penaluna said. “I think there’s really broad use for this,” she said. “Now I think the next steps are for managers and policymakers to start drawing some of those guidelines.” The study was an example of co-production science where federal, state and private landowners worked with researchers. Penaluna collaborated with OSU researchers Arismendi, Jennifer Allen, Taal Levi and Tiffany Garcia; and Jason Walter of the Weyerhaeuser Centralia Research Center in Washington.

Oregon Coast Anglers will award three $1,000 scholarships for students graduating from high school in 2021. The scholarships are through Oregon Coast Anglers’ Conservation Scholarship Program and the one requirement is that recipients plan to pursue higher education in majors relating to the conservation of Earth’s resources. “Conservation of our natural resources is becoming more and more important for our generation and will be for generations to come,” said Oregon Coast Anglers President Steve Godin. “We hope these scholarships will

encourage today’s graduates to pursue a career in conservation.” Coastal schools included in the program are Siuslaw High School, Mapleton High School, Reedsport Community Charter School, Elkton High School, North Bend High School, Marshfield High School, Bandon High School, Coquille High School, Pacific High School, Gold Beach High School and Brookings-Harbor High School. Administrators of these schools will select the students they feel meet the conservation studies requirement.
