Disabled woman receives $300,000 in lawsuit against Brookings By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Pilot
A disabled woman who was arrested following an extremely-low-speed chase was awarded $300,000 in a settlement with the city of Brookings. Jennifer Gayman, who was arrested by Brookings Police officers in November 2018 and later convicted in a jury trial, had her conviction thrown out by the state court of appeals last year. Gayman then filed a lawsuit against Brookings, which concluded this week. In a Facebook post, Johnstun Injury Law, which represented
Gayman in the lawsuit, explained the conclusion. "We are pleased to announce the conclusion of Jennifer Gayman's civil lawsuit against the City of Brookings and some of its police officers, who cited Ms. Gayman, who is disabled, for driving her mobility scooter on the sidewalk, through a crosswalk, and without a helmet," the post reads. "After officers gave Ms. Gayman an unlawful order to abandon her mobility scooter and walk the rest of the way home (over a mile) because she did not have a helmet, Ms. Gayman refused and drove home.
Officers arrested her, and she was eventually convicted with one felony count of eluding a police officer. She spent 5 days in jail. "The Oregon Court of Appeals reversed Ms. Gayman's felony conviction in June 2021. Now, the city has agreed to pay Ms. Gayman $300,000 in damages, issue her a public apology, and require its officers to undergo Americans with Disabilities Act training. It was very important to Ms. Gayman that ADA training be given, so that other disabled citizens in mobility scooters can feel safe driving around town without the fear of being cited or
arrested for exercising their basic rights." According to previous reports in the Pilot, Gayman's case began in November 2018 when two Brookings police officers stopped Gayman, who was riding her electric mobility scooter on the sidewalk. Gayman has a degenerative eye disease, as well as other disabilities. During the traffic stop, which was captured on body camera footage, officers claimed Gayman was in violation of state law for operating the scooter on the sidewalk. While they were More Lawsuit, Page A9
RNC opens new office in Brookings By Michael Combest For The Pilot
Chetco Avenue has a new tenant – the Republican Party of Oregon has opened a new office on the main artery of Brookings at 605 Chetco Ave. Fran Chambers, Julie April, Juliana Reasor, and Jim Newman staffed and opened the new Republican Party offices with a grand opening event Saturday afternoon. There was a steady stream of supporters venturing in to say hello. The mood at the opening event was electric with positivity and inclusivity. The near-term goal of this Republican office is to drive up voter registration among the undecided who feel they are not being represented by the elected class. The spirit of engagement was abundant at the grand opening. The assembled group hosting the event were unanimous in their interest in dialogue with the community, especially focused on the independent, undecided and disaffected.

Spending bill returning millions to the South Coast By DAVID RUPKALVIS The Pilot
The omnibus spending bill recently signed into law by Pres. Joe Biden will deliver tens of millions of dollars to the South Coast, benefitting communities in Coos, Curry and Douglas counties. Many of the projects were spearheaded by Congressman Peter DeFazio and U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, who all voted in favor of the spending bill. The biggest funding element is $6.8 million for repairs to the Coos Bay North Jetty. After years of decline, the jetty has lost close to 200 feet, but a contract has already been approved to extend and stabilize the jetty. "The North Jetty, which maintains the safety of the Coos Bay bar crossing for mariners, has receded nearly 1,000 feet from its original build design,” said John Burns, CEO of the Port of Coos Bay. “Senators Merkley and Wyden have championed funding to extend the jetty by approximately 150 to 200 feet
and stabilize the head, trunk, and root system. This is truly critical maritime infrastructure to maintain safety within the harbor, and to promote future commerce and economic development for the region and state. We are extremely grateful to Senators Merkley and Wyden for their ongoing efforts." Some other projects in Coos County include $231,000 for the Coos County emergency radio system, $1.3 million to the city of North Bend to upgrade the city's water and wastewater system and $850,000 to Coast Community Health Center, which has offices in Bandon and Port Orford. The gift to Coast Community Health was roundly applauded. “We are honored to receive such a wonderful award in support of our continued expansion of services in Curry County,” said Linda Maxon, chief executive officer, Coast Community Health Center. “These funds will directly support our delivery of health and wellness services to south Curry County.

Late season rise in flu cases JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media
This month’s lifting of state mask requirements put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic is prompting many Oregonians to remove their face coverings. Oregon health officials say it’s a good time to remind people about the importance of getting vaccinated against another circulating virus: influenza. Oregon is seeing a late-season rise in flu cases – flu season generally peaks around late January or February – as mask requirements for public indoor spaces and schools fall away, making it easier to spread the virus from person to person, according to Oregon Health Authority communicable disease experts. “The 2020-2021 flu season was virtually non-existent as public health restrictions, such as stay-home orders, mask requirements, and limits on indoor and outdoor gatherings, kept flu cases down at record-low levels,” OHA’s Public Health Division Medical Director for Communicable Diseases and Immunizations Paul Cieslak, M.D. said. “Now we’re seeing more cases at a time when the season is usually coming to a close.” During the week of March 6 to March 12, Oregon reported that 3.1% of influenza tests were positive, compared with 2.5% the week of Feb. 27 to March 5, 1.6% the week of Feb. 20 to Feb. 26, and .6% the week of Feb. 6 to Feb. 12. During the same week of the 2020-2021 season, a scant .1% of flu tests were positive. The vast majority of flu cases have been influenza A. Cieslak emphasizes that it’s still not too late to get a flu vaccine, and getting it now, as indoor and outdoor gatherings become more common, can help reverse the surge. Getting vaccinated can also reduce the severity of flu illness even if you get infected. Anyone ages six months and older should get the flu vaccine, particularly young children, older adults and those who have chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease or metabolic diseases such as diabetes. Pregnant women should get vaccinated since children younger than six months can’t get the flu vaccine. When a pregnant woman gets the vaccine, it means she not only avoids serious complications during pregnancy, but she also transmits, through the placenta, precious flu antibodies for her unborn child. Flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19. That’s why it’s important to get the flu vaccine and the COVID-19 vaccine, both of which are available from health care providers, local health departments and many pharmacies in Oregon. The flu vaccine is free or low cost with most health insurance plans. To find flu vaccine clinic, visit www.flu.oregon.gov and use OHA’s flu vaccine locator tool. Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent the flu, according to health officials. Additional ways Oregonians can help prevent the spread of flu include: Staying home from work or school when you are sick and limit contact with others. Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Washing hands frequently with soap and water; use an alcohol-based hand rub if soap and water are not available. Avoiding touching your eyes, Please see Influenza, Page A2

Elmo Williams Day returning April 24 By Marilyn Hart For The Pilot
Since its official proclamation in 2017, the fourth Sunday in April has been “Elmo Williams Day” in Brookings. Williams was Brookings' own Hollywood celebrity, having won two Academy Awards, most famously for the editing of “High Noon” with Gary Cooper. Williams and his wife Lorraine retired to Brookings in 1986. They both contributed greatly to the town, becoming involved with projects such as the documentation of the construction of the public library and the organization of the Azalea Park Foundation. After Loraine passed in 2004, Williams began construction of the Capella By The Sea in Azalea Park, which was built in memory of Loraine and subsequently bequeathed it to the city. James Elmo Williams was born in Oklahoma in 1913 and died in Brookings in 2015 at age 102. At the time of his passing he was the oldest living Academy Award winner in history. After a two-year absence due to COVID, Brookings
will honor Williams at the Capella By The Sea in Azalea Park on Sunday, April 24, from noon to 3 p.m. The day will begin with a short bio of Elmo’s life by Lon Goddard and continue throughout the event with a slide show of William’s life until 3. The community is invited to come and see some memorabilia of William’s life and reminisce about his winning smile and the twinkle in his eye. There is no charge for the event. Williams began his career when film editor Merrill White spotted him working hard as a drive-in carhop in southern California. White was impressed with Williams and asked him to become his assistant in England. There, Williams learned the skills of film editing and worked on movies such as “Nurse Edith Cavell,” “Irene” and “No, No, Nanette.” Returning to the U.S., Williams worked on military training films during WWII, some written by Theodor Suess Geisel (Dr. Seuss), including “Design for Death” which won a 1947 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Next, Williams worked in

Influenza, also known as flu, is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The flu can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death. Flu signs and symptoms usually come on suddenly, the CDC states. People who are sick with flu often feel some or all of these symptoms:
Fever* or feeling feverish/chills Cough Sore throat Runny or stuffy nose Muscle or body aches Headaches Fatigue (tiredness) Some people may have vomiting and diarrhea, though this is more common in children than adults. *It’s important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.

Geology Lecture - A conference honoring the life and legacy of Chief Don Ivy Southwestern Oregon Community College’s popular Geology Lecture Series continues for the 2021-22 academic year with a series of talks covering “Relationships Between Elakha (Sea Otter) and a Sense of Place on Oregon’s South Coast,” a conference honoring the life and legacy of Chief Don Ivy. Join on Saturday, April 16, from 1 to 4 p.m. At this time, we expect to be live in the Hales Center for the Performing Arts on the Coos Bay campus and also streaming via Livestream at the college website (https://livestream. com/swocc/geology2021-22). This conference brings together a number of experts including Bob Bailey (president of the Elakha Alliance) delivering "Elakha Alliance: Bringing Sea Otters Home"; Dr. Roberta “Bobbi” Hall (Oregon State University, Emeritus) discussing “With the Coquille Indian Tribe — and the Sea Otters”; Dr. Wil-

The talks will be followed by a panel discussion/question and answer session with the speakers. The conference is dedicated to the life and legacy of Chief Don Ivy. When Chief Ivy was recognized as the Southwestern Oregon Community College’s Distinguished Alumnus in the Spring of 2021, several individuals associated with the Elakha Alliance were in the virtual audience.

David Brock Smith also applauded the investment. “I’ve had the privilege to work with Coast Community Health since its conception and have long been an advocate to expand access to healthcare services that are desperately needed on the South Coast," said Brock Smith. "I’m grateful to Senators Merkley and Wyden for their incredible advocacy for this funding to expand vital healthcare services to our residents through a dedicated partner with Coast Community Health.” Another popular investment in the spending bill is $1.8 million to repair and modernize the Cole Rivers Hatchery, which will benefit the salmon fishery along the South Coast. “In this day, it seems we’re losing much of our Oregon natural resources.

dedicated to many of the tenets that Chief Ivy lived by, among them recognizing the cultural identity of Native Peoples of the region, supporting education, improving community and fostering a greater awareness for land stewardship. It’s the intent that those attending will go forward with a better “sense of place.” It is also hoped, that like Don, attendees will all go out and “think deeply, make an impact, share our knowledge and go on to encourage others to do the same.” In addition to the speakers, representatives of The Coquille Tribe, Elakha Alliance, South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve and The University of Oregon’s Charleston Marine Life Center will be present in the Hales Center lobby before and after the lecture.

CURRY COASTAL PILOT
Letters to the Editor City loses big money bet The courts just awarded Jennifer Gayman $300,000 (originally half a million) and guess who gets to pay for this stupidity? That's right you and I - the taxpayers. Remember the $25,000 the city had to fork up for increased insurance rates over this blunder with Gayman? Guess who is paying for that? Right again. But there's even more. Remember St Timothy's? They filed suit against the city. And the rumor is there are lots of lawsuits in the works stacking up against the city because apparently the city cannot figure out one simple little rule - do not break the law. The city council and City Manager Janell Howard seem to think they can just do whatever they please and who's going to stop them. Well the law is stopping them. And now you and I get to pay for the mistakes. Since Mayor Pieper resigned, it has gotten way worse. The city may brag about how great this is and how they did that, but the truth is in the money that you will have to pay for all these lawsuits as a result of their arrogance. That's money you thought the city was going to spend fixing a street or something we really need. But that money is now going to Jennifer Gayman and her attorney and to other lawyers who are working to put the city back within the bounds of the law. If this was a matter of a hundred dollars here or another hundred there that would be one thing. But we are talking about large sums of money. Wake up Brookings. The city is being run by people who do not know what they are doing. It's costing us way, way, way, way too much. Ann Williams Brookings Meet Doyle Canning I want to tell you about Doyle Canning. She is running for Congress to represent Oregon in the fourth district, which is the district that Peter DeFazio is retiring from after a remarkable 36 years of public service. Indivisible of North Curry County is endorsing Democrat Doyle Canning. Here’s why.
Doyle is a graduate of the University of Oregon School of Law. While there, she studied climate change and environmental law. She graduated third in her class and is a current member of the Oregon State Bar. She was recently a senior strategy advisor to Greenpeace, advocating for climate investments as part of President Biden’s Build Back Better plan. During the worst days of the pandemic, Doyle worked for United for Respect, a labor rights organization advocating in Congress for better working conditions for essential workers. Her resume is full of significant environmental jobs, but the main thing to remember is that Doyle has spent over 20 years as a community organizer, finding solutions to climate change, the need for affordable housing, and as an advocate for better working conditions. Many politicians have not yet responded to the fact that climate change is here—now. That climate change demands immediate planning and action. Many liberals are not approaching the problem of climate change with the urgency and focus it demands. Doyle is. Doyle has the passion, experience, and education to take on climate change. Doyle will work to bring in clean, renewable energy jobs to the Oregon Coast. She understands the value of our ports and our rivers. She understands that we need to stop subsidizing polluters. Doyle says she wants to get progressive politics, which have been stalled by moderates in her party, back on the agenda. In Congress, Doyle will fight for universal healthcare, reproductive rights, racial justice, abolishing all student debt, investing in rural Oregon, and truly affordable housing. To make sure you are registered to the political party of your choice, go online to “Oregon Secretary of State,” “View Online Services,” and “Voting.” And on May 17, please vote for Doyle Canning for Congressional District 4.

Trailer park residents plot to become landowners By Benjamin James Waddell Just outside Durango, Colorado, there’s a trailer park called Westside that I’ve been driving by all my life. Yet residents there have long lived with the fear that at any time their homes could be taken from them, and now, the worst has happened. A few days before Christmas, Westside residents received notice that the 5.6 acres of land, with 60 lots, under their homes was for sale for $5.5 million. The message was in English, and Alejandra Chavez and her neighbors, who mostly speak Spanish and work in service jobs, were devastated. Alejandra was 13 when she left her native Mexico in 2005 to join her family in Durango. Her parents, Juanita and Alejandro, chose Westside because it was close to town, and they could get to and from work without a vehicle. They bought their current home in 2010 for $10,000, and since then have invested another $15,000 in remodels. Their home is their biggest asset. “Honestly, my parents would lose everything,” Alejandra told me. “If we wanted to move their trailer, it would break apart.” Trailer parks like Westside are always vulnerable to speculators. As land prices skyrocket in the West, trailer parks have attracted the interest of large corporations and private equity funds. The trend is so strong that two real estate tycoons launched a website called Mobile Home University to teach investors how to get in “on the ground floor.”
But now, thanks to a new Colorado law, residents like Alejandra Chavez and her parents can fight back because owners of trailer parks must provide residents with 90-day notice of their intent to sell. Before the law, trailer parks could change owners without residents even knowing that the park was up for sale. Now, park inhabitants have a chance to form a cooperative, secure financing and even make an offer of their own. The residents of Westside jumped at the opportunity. In early January, Westside residents formed the Westside Cooperative, which Chavez cochairs. Their deadline to secure financing and submit a purchase offer is March 20. The Westside group has a successful model. In 2021, the residents of Animas View Mobile Home, north of Durango, successfully purchased their community for $14 million. Seeing a similar situation at Westside, Animas View resident Dan Hunt offered to help out by walking door-to-door, spreading the word about resident-owned trailer parks. “Our goal was for everyone to be able to afford it,” Hunt told me. “Those with the lowest incomes are at risk of being displaced, which is a terrible scenario. Now that we have control, we have plans to stabilize rents and invest in our park.” “We want to follow in their footsteps,” Chavez says. At first, Westside families were wary, as many wondered who would finance the purchase. The price of $5.5 million sounded like a huge amount of money. Organizations — and public officials — offered advice, but Elevation Community Land Trust, a nonprofit dedicated to making homeownership more affordable for Colorado residents,
stepped up to offer financial support. Elevation CEO Stefka Fanchi said the trust’s goal is to help places like Westside leverage the community trust model so housing remains stable for the foreseeable future. La Plata County officials helped Westside put together a competitive purchase offer. Then things started moving fast over the last weekend, the owner rejected their first purchase offer, requesting a cash offer, and a quicker timeline. Westside has established a GoFundMe page and now has until March 27 to raise $500,000. The big question is whether the owner, Neal Kurzner, will accept their offer. Kurzner is a New York investor who owns apartment buildings and trailer parks across the nation. “To me it’s going to come down to economics,” Kurzner told me over the phone. “And timing. That’s really how we’ll be making our decision.” Kurzner has already been negotiating to sell Westside to Harmony Communities, a company based in California that operates 33 trailer parks in the Southwest. Harmony has a history of purchasing parks in Colorado, then immediately hiking rents by as much as 50 percent. Residents think their offer will be attractive to Kurzner: “We don’t want anyone to gift us anything,” Alejandra’s mother, Juanita, told me during a recent visit to Westside. “We just want an opportunity to get ahead. And why not?” Benjamin Waddell is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. He is an associate professor of sociology at Fort Lewis College in Durango.

The existing lot line crosses through a portion of the residence located on APN 115141-007, and the sewer line for the same property is currently located on APN 115- 141006. Both parcels are zoned single-family residential with a manufactured housing overlay (R1-MFH), which requires 20foot setbacks from the rear property lines. The residence on APN 115- 141-006 would maintain a conforming setback at 24 feet from the rear property line, while the residence located on APN 115-141-007 would be located 7 feet from the rear property line. The General Plan Land Use designation for both parcels is Urban Residential (UR). This boundary adjustment will not create any new parcels.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may 916-939- 0772 or visit this internet website www.

Public Notices nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI- 211658. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 916-939- 0772, or visit this internet website www. nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case PFI- 211658 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid, by remitting the funds and affidavit described in Section 2924m(c) of the Civil Code, so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

Layers Art Exhibit opens at Manley Art Center
Lawsuit Continued From Page A1
gathering her information, one officer was apparently trying to Google the law. “You're taking my disability act and throwing it in the garbage,” said Gayman during the stop. “This is how I get around.” After Googling, officers then wrote her a citation for driving her scooter on the sidewalk, and not wearing a helmet. But, it didn’t end there. When handing off the citation, an arresting officer told Gayman she could not drive her scooter home, as she still did not have a helmet. So, when Gayman took her citation and drove off anyway, police pursued her in a low-speed chase with sirens and lights and requested backup. Once Gayman arrived at her home, police arrested her inside her garage for eluding. She was later convicted by a jury and sentenced to five days in jail by the former Curry County District Attorney, according to news reports. Tow and a half years later, the court of appeals overturned the verdict, saying the trial court "plainly erred,” in their conviction because Gayman was operating a motor assisted wheelchair — top speed of 23 miles per hour — not a motor vehicle. According to the ruling, a person must be operating a motor vehicle in order to be charged with eluding or fleeing a police officer. “The actions of the state in this case — from the police officers’ decision to pursue defendant in a low-speed chase for the … traffic violation of not wearing a helmet, to the prosecutor’s decision to pursue a felony charge under those circumstances, to the attorney general’s office’s decision to defend those decisions on appeal — should not be ignored,” the court ruled. In March 2020, Gayman filed a federal lawsuit against Brookings, seeking $500,000 in damages. She received $300,000 with the agreement reached last week.
Manley Art Center announced the opening reception for the April art exhibit, Layers, will be held Saturday, April 9, from 3 to 5 p.m. at The Manley Art Center, located at 433 Oak Street in Brookings. The exhibit, on display April 4 through April 30, features fiber artist Patty Nance. Nance is an avid knitter who lives on the Southern Oregon Coast with her husband, two motorcycles and lots of yarn. She teaches classes,
designs hand-knits and publishes patterns when she’s not knitting. Her book Bargello Knits (Bargello Knitworks, 2018) introduces her bargello knitting technique with an in-depth tutorial and 28 designs. Her work has appeared in Vogue Knitting, Noro Knitting Magazine, Knitter’s Magazine, Knit Simple Magazine, Prism Arts, Knit Noro Accessories (Sixth & Spring Books, 2012), and with several yarn companies including Louet

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW
My name is Georgia Cockerham. Although I serve on the board of directors (the Board) for both Coos Curry Electric Cooperative (CCEC) and Beacon Broadband (BB), the following are my comments as a citizen, CCEC member, and retired financial advisor. Any opinions expressed are not meant to represent those by CCEC, BB, its boards or employees. I am writing to CCEC members with information relevant to the BB project. I am writing to provide awareness of key details that have not been released to the public, and to correct misconceptions based upon what’s been publicized thus far. To be clear, I believe broadband is a great telecommunications asset. I voted not to proceed with the broadband project for several reasons, including my belief that it will not generate enough revenue to pay for its costs both during construction and following completion. My opinion has not changed. On multiple occasions over the past eighteen months the CEO and Board discussed the need to inform the public about the risks of the project. This has not been done. Following additional decisions with which I disagreed, I decided that if the members were to learn of the same risks that the Board has known all along, it will require my speaking up. The members should also know that the Board was informed to expect, before the project was started, that BB’s internet service would come from Charter Spectrum and LS Networks. My intent is to provide education and understanding in the spirit of transparency. I will support the direction voiced by CCEC’s members after they are made aware of both the financial risks to themselves and our electric cooperative. Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative is owned by those who purchase their electricity from the cooperative. Because it is a cooperative, the owners are called members rather than customers. CCEC is a nonprofit entity that must return to its members any revenue in excess of what is necessary to maintain the overall health and integrity of the electric company. KEY INFORMATION: 1) MEMBER VOTE: Two years ago, the membership was asked to vote on several suggested changes to CCEC’s Bylaws. One of these changes gave authority to CCEC to “assist its members to provide to their premises and install therein, …. broadband….” The bylaw changes were voted on by membership and passed. Upon receipt of the results of this vote, CCEC management, at the direction of a majority board vote, moved forward with its plan to deploy broadband. Was it the members’ intent for their “yes” votes to allow CCEC to build a for profit broadband network regardless of whether it was or was not financially feasible? Did it give CCEC the authorization to unilaterally enter a business that puts the electric cooperative at risk and creates financial hardship to its members? 2) SURVEY: Before starting the project, CCEC paid for a survey to be distributed to a random sample of CCEC members. The purpose of the survey was to gauge both interest and need for a new broadband company. The survey results did not provide evidence that a broadband project and ongoing business by CCEC would be able to financially support itself. On the contrary, the results indicated that the great majority of the CCEC membership population already had access to high-speed internet. Most of these members were customers of Charter Spectrum. Were you part of the survey? I believe that CCEC should have disclosed the results of this survey and the Board’s analysis of the results before applying for a $60 million loan and starting the project. The following is information that CCEC did not disclose to its members before applying for the loan. 3) ZIPLY FIBER: Before starting the project, CCEC learned that Ziply Fiber, an experienced northwest telecommunications company, was deploying broadband across the northwest and planned to be in the southern Oregon coast area within eighteen months. Ziply is here. 4) COMPETITORS: A business plan for the BB project was written reflecting take-rates (number of new customers) that were not consistent with the survey results. The south coast already had a successful telecommunications company (Charter Spectrum) with a second (Ziply Fiber) promising to build in the area. Starlink, the XSpace satellite was also becoming available. Furthermore, the plan recommendations and projections were not consistent with information we’d received from other entities (Douglas Electric
Cooperative) and (Delta-Montrose Electric Association) that had deployed broadband projects (Douglas Fast Net and Elevate Fiber, respectively).
will not fully cover the costs to build. From where will the additional funding come? It will come from the cooperative and its members.
5) DEBT: CCEC hired a consultant to write a broadband business plan. The BB business plan projected a cost of $60 million for the project. The lender that agreed to provide this loan to CCEC now holds our electric cooperative as security for the loan. The loan is taken out in increments as needed, similar to a line of credit. (Think of the lender who loans you funds to purchase a home. Your home is security for that loan. If you cannot make the payments, the lender forecloses, sells the house and takes back whatever amount you borrowed.) CCEC members will be responsible for any unpaid balance on the loan, as well as the ongoing costs of running a broadband company. Any such payment will be in addition to whatever you pay for personal internet service and, as a CCEC member, it will be owed regardless of whether your personal internet provider is Beacon Broadband, Spectrum, Ziply, or some other source.
10) EXCESS FUNDS/CASH: As a cooperative, CCEC should require from members only enough income to maintain the electric cooperative and offer electricity to its members at the lowest possible rates. When CCEC experiences an increase in its cost to operate, a rate increase to the members may be put into effect. When CCEC has excess cash, they return it to the members. The last rate increase to members was in 2020. This past February, the Board learned that at the end of 2021 CCEC had far more cash than what is necessary to cover its expenses. The Board also learned that CCEC management loaned more than a million dollars of the excess cash to BB for expenses. When, if ever, will this money be paid back to CCEC? These monies were in addition to the draws CCEC has made and continues to make against the $60 million approved loan with the outside lender. Why do I write about this? You received a rate increase because CCEC anticipated its net costs to increase. The anticipated increase did not occur, and it was subsequently determined that CCEC had more cash than was necessary to meet expense obligations. What happened to this excess cash? The Board learned that the excess funds that were, in part, due to the members’ rate increase, were used, not to cover the cost of providing electricity, but to cover costs incurred by the BB project. You continue to pay the increase.
6) BUSINESS PLAN: The consultant who wrote the business plan was subsequently hired on as a CCEC employee to be general manager for the broadband project. The business plan presented to the Board bears little resemblance to the current state of, and realistic projections for the project. 7) MEMBER EDUCATION: I began this letter by letting you know that I voted against the majority Board vote to authorize CCEC management to move forward with the broadband project. I expressed the need to delay the project until sharing with the members the risks about which we were informed. The Board and management had learned from successful broadband projects we’d studied that before moving forward, it was necessary to educate our members on the risks, as well as the benefits, and to obtain their support before proceeding. Members should be allowed to ask questions and to have their questions answered. We also learned that successful broadband projects were the result of forged partnerships so that no single company was burdened with all the risk and financial responsibility. This has not been the case with CCEC. 8) RISKS: Why am I now sharing this information? As a Board member who read the business plan and studied the risks to our cooperative and members, I voted against proceeding. When the Board majority voted to proceed, I accepted the majority vote to move forward with the understanding that management would first educate the members about the risks of the venture. The CEO agreed that the members should be involved in the decision. These risks include the probability, based upon our survey and a lack of potential growth outside of CCEC territory, that the project may not be self-sustaining for decades, if ever. The estimated time frame to pay off the loan is in the twenty-year range. And there’s more burden on the cooperative members than the initial loan expense to build the project. There is the high expense to maintain the company. The risks suggest that the project is far too costly for CCEC’s relatively small membership. The financial burden will fall on CCEC members. 9) FEDERAL FUNDS/GRANTS: There has been notification to CCEC members of federal funds granted to CCEC for the purpose of constructing broadband. What hasn’t been publicized is that a large majority of these funds are required to be used to provide broadband for persons in areas outside of the CCEC territory. In other words, a large portion of the federal funds will be used to construct broadband for individuals who are not CCEC members. Customers of BB in these areas will not be held responsible for the loan to build nor the cost to maintain the business following construction. This burden will fall on CCEC members. Furthermore, the amount of federal funds CCEC was granted for this purpose is far less than what was both requested and determined to be necessary for the intended construction. The federal funds received
11. LACK OF TRANSPARENCY: In closing, I want to clarify again that I am not against the deployment of broadband if desired by the CCEC membership, provided the members have been educated about the financial risks to the cooperative and its members. I am against CCEC crossing the line and using excess CCEC revenue, revenue that rightly belongs to the members, to subsidize a project that realistic financial calculations determine will not be able to pay back the loan. I understand that a broadband system would provide some benefits to the electric company, segments of the community, and a small percentage of CCEC members who do not have adequate internet, but at what price to our electric cooperative and the overall membership? There has been a lack of transparency about the project that has put the electric cooperative at risk and has the potential to be very costly to CCEC members for years, if not decades. Writing this has been difficult. I did not expect the many actions taken relating to CCEC’s decision to compete with large, experienced telecommunications companies, and enter a new business with expenses far greater than projected income. Serving on the boards of both Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative and Beacon Broadband has been a privilege. I’ve taken and will continue to take most seriously my fiduciary responsibility to CCEC and its members. Thank You. YOUR RIGHTS: You have a right to the survey. You have a right to know what the CEO and Board knew and haven’t told you about the high risks of the project. You have a right to be heard on whether you want to continue the broadband project. If this is important to you, and you want to let the CEO and Board know your thoughts, the contact information you need is below.

Three Rivers Foundation awards Obituaries $1.4 million to Oregon organizations Willard H "Bill" Curtis The Three Rivers Foundation is excited to award significant grants to help people throughout western Oregon. The foundation, established by the Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians as the charitable arm of its Three Rivers Casino Resort, will distribute $1.4 million in funding to 100 organizations from six Oregon counties. “These grants trickle down and make a positive impact on communities in Coos, Curry, Douglas, Lane and Lincoln counties,” says Doug Barrett, Tribe Council member and Three Rivers Foundation Board of Trustees chair. “It has been great to work with our board to give away this money to so many great organizations and Tribes that help so many families and individuals.” Counties receiving grants are as follows. See below for exact amounts and organizations. • Coos Bay – 28 organizations • Curry – 7 organizations • Douglas – 10 organizations • Lane – 50 organizations • Lincoln – 5 organizations The Three Rivers Foundation supports innovative ideas, collaborative approaches and grassroots efforts in education, health, public safety, problem gambling, the arts, environment, cultural activities and historic preservation. Since it began awarding grants in 2012 the foundation has given out $2,694,340.81 Food Backpacks for Kids in Florence, which helps ensure no kid goes hungry, received $10,000 for its programming. “It is the remarkable generosity of people and businesses like Three Rivers that allow us to make this program sustainable. These children find themselves in
food insecurity at no cause of their own,” said Pastor and CEO Dale Edwards. The Boys and Girls Clubs of Emerald Valley stayed open to serve kids during the pandemic was awarded $25,000 “Three Rivers Foundation understands the urgent need to help ignite the imagination and interest of kids, especially traditionally underrepresented groups like girls and young people of color, to the possibility that STEAM learning can provide for enhancing their fundamental skills at school. With this grant money, our organization can expand these programs and serve even more kids,” said Matt Sorensen, chief executive officer of the Boys & Girls Club of Emerald Valley, The Three Rivers Foundation also awarded grants to healthcare organizations that found themselves on the front lines during this pandemic. “We are extremely grateful to the Three Rivers Foundation for their generous support. When we informed them of the ongoing need to test our staff for exposure to COVID-19 to best protect the terminally ill in our care and our staff, they came to our aid,” said Doreen Kelly, South Coast Hospice & Palliative Care Services, Inc. A life-saving funding of $25,000 was even awarded to the Central Coast Humane Society. “The grant is being used to spay/neuter, vaccinate, treat illnesses and injuries, and help feed community cat colonies. They provide rodent control and much needed peace and purpose for their caregivers. We are truly grateful to the Three Rivers Foundation,” said Barbara Perry, President of CCHS.

held until he retired at age 65. Bill had a collaborative management style. One example, when a water main broke, Bill stayed with the Gold Beach Public Works crew throughout a long nighttime project, providing them with sandwiches, coffee, and moral support. The group showed their appreciation by subsequently presenting Bill with a Public Works Emergency jacket embossed with his name. After retiring, Bill volunteered as a Range Rider for the Oregon City/County Management Association (OCCMA) traveling throughout Southwest Oregon to meet with City Managers and City Administrators to share his experience and informally consult on issues at hand, and submitting written reports of the visits to OCCMA. While collaborative in his management style, Bill could be quite competitive, especially in checkers, table tennis, and touch football. Bill loved to sing in high school operettas, church choirs, and the Barbershop Harmony Society, for years riding with a friend round trip every Tuesday from

Service dog school looking for puppy raisers in Southern Oregon At the heart of every working guide dog and service dog team trained at Guide Dogs of America and Tender Loving Canines is a proud volunteer who first raised the dog as a puppy. Now Southern Oregonians can help make teams come true by opening their homes and hearts to GDA|TLC program puppies as volunteer puppy raisers.
and labrador/golden cross puppies for about a year. Puppy raisers teach basic obedience and proper house manners and include the dog in most daily activities away from home so the dog learns to be well-behaved and confident in the many situations it will encounter as a working service dog.
“We’re excited to bring our puppy program to Southern Oregon,” said Stephanie Colman, GDA|TLC’s puppy program coordinator. “Puppy raising is a chance to turn your love of dogs into a life-changing gift of increased confidence, independence and mobility for Puppy raisers foster someone living with a disability.” the organization’s labrador retrievers Anyone with the desire to make a difference

and the ability to commit to training a puppy can successfully raise a program dog. Puppy raising is a great project for families, young adults, empty-nesters and active retirees. Puppy raisers are supported by experienced local Area Leaders who teach puppy obedience classes when the puppies first arrive home and provide in-person support at monthly training meetings throughout the program. Puppy raisers will also use Zoom or similar technology to periodically check-in with the organization’s Canine Development team in California. Volunteers pay for food, toys and required flea/tick preventatives. These expenses are taxdeductible. Veterinary expenses are reimbursed by the organization.

Milliman elected Vice President of Oregon Municipal Judges Association Brookings Municipal Court Judge Gary Milliman has been elected vice president of the Oregon Municipal Judges Association. The election took place at the OMJA annual meeting March 17. Beaverton Municipal Court Judge Juliet Britton was named OMJA President. The OMJA provides continuing education services to municipal judges,

The new OMJA officers will be working with the Oregon Justice of the Peace Association leadership as the two organizations consider consolidation. Milliman serves as municipal court judge in Brookings, Bandon, Lakeside, Port Orford, Powers and Sublimity.
“I look forward to working with my colleagues to provide a quality service for our member judges and their respective courts.” Milliman said. “Municipal courts play an important role in their communities, assisting in assuring the fair application of community standards and public safety.” Milliman retired as city manager in Brookings in 2018 after 11 years and
has a continuing non-compensated relationship with the city as city manager emeritus. He recently served as city manager pro tem in Ashland. A credentialed city manager with the International City/County Management Association, Milliman served as city manager in five cities ranging in population from 2,800 to 105,000.

Milliman holds a master of public administration degree from the University of Southern California and completed the senior executives in state and local government program at Harvard University.
SNAP benefits increasing by $65 million in April Most Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will receive emergency allotments in April. The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020. This gives SNAP recipients additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic. In April, approximately 399,000 SNAP households
will receive approximately $65 million in extra food benefits in addition to their regular SNAP benefits. “We know that many rely on these additional emergency food benefits to get enough healthy food for themselves and their families,” said deputy director of the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) Self-Sufficiency Programs Deputy Director Claire Seguin said. “We also know that many Oregonians are
still struggling to meet their basic needs and we encourage them to contact our partners at 211 and the Oregon Food Bank for support during this difficult time.” Current SNAP households will receive emergency allotments on April 12. Emergency allotments will be issued April 29 or May 3 for households who did not receive benefits in the first monthly issuance. SNAP recipients do not have to take any action to
receive these supplemental benefits as they will be issued directly on their EBT cards. More information about emergency allotments is available at https://www. oregon.gov/dhs/ASSISTANCE/FOOD-BENEFITS/Pages/Emergency-Allotments.aspx. Questions about your SNAP benefits should be directed to the ONE Customer Service Center at 1-800-699-9075. If your household
receives SNAP and your income or the number of people in your household has changed, it could impact your benefits. It is important to make sure ODHS has the most up-todate information. You can report any changes to your income or household in many ways: Online at: ONE.Oregon. gov By mail at: ONE Customer Service Center, PO Box 14015, Salem, OR 97309

The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation is excited to announce new educational services ranging from kindergarten
to 12th grade. The services will soon be offered to native students in the area through the Demonstration
A.C.E Grant, which stands for Accessing Choices in Education. The Nation’s California/Oregon Indian Student Services Program intends to serve approximately 1,000 native students in Del Norte and Curry counties. The five-year grant awarded to the Nation in 2020 aims to give Native American families more educational choices. Student voice and choice have been shown to increase family leadership and American Indian student successes. Demonstration Grants
are a competitive discretionary grant program that supports plans to develop, test, and establish services and programs to improve the educational opportunities of Native American children. The Nation is one of 40 to receive this grant across the United States. COISSP will partner with Del Norte County Schools, Curry County Schools, Title VI, the Yurok Tribe, Resighini Rancheria, Elk Valley Rancheria, North Coast Indian Development Council, College of the Redwoods, and the Southwest Oregon Community College to bring services. In partnership with these organizations, the Nation aims to develop more options that meet the needs of Native American students. Direct services to federally recognized Tribal Citizen students may
include tutoring, training programs, native history, cultural knowledge, or student transportation. The Nation's COISSP Program will focus on the following Del Norte County Schools: Smith River School, Redwood School, Mary Peacock School, Pine Grove School, Del Norte High School, Crescent Elk, Sunset High School, and the Castle Rock Charter School. Curry County consists of three districts; this program will serve all seven school sites in those districts. The services will include a mixture of working in the schools, at an office site, in the home, or virtually on a meeting platform. Jalea Walker, the Nation's COISSP Program Manager, stated that the grant is designed to expand the choices available to all Na-
tive American students and their families. Not only are we able to help Tolowa members, but all Native students and families in the service area. Families will be given the opportunity to choose what services they need and what they believe will produce a better outcome of their child’s academic success. The services provided will help all involved students and their families succeed in their educational and lifelong goals. Ms. Walker further shared, “We are excited to be able to serve all Native youth in the area, and bring lifelong knowledge to all students involved. To be able to bring better opportunities and help all Native students succeed in school and their daily lives is the goal we are all working towards in our program. I am excited about our program and the work we get to do for all of the youth involved. I will strive for the success of the program and all of the students involved.” The outcome of the grant and services is to improve school attendance, American Indian school success, family leadership, grades, and graduation rates. Native American Students and families of Native American children are invited to sign up for direct services. Further, if anyone is interested in signing up as a contractor or vendor to offer services to students, we encourage you to contact the Program Manager, Jalea Walker, at jalea.walker@tolowa.com or 707-487-9255 ext. 1550.
