Curry County returns to extreme restrictions Beginning Friday, indoor dining, other COVID restrictions will kick in By ZACK DEMARS The Pilot
After two months open, indoor dining and recreation will close once again in Curry County starting Friday. The changes come as Curry County enters the extreme-risk category of the state’s COVID-19 restrictions, as announced by Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and the Oregon Health Authority on Tuesday. As one of the two counties in the
extreme-risk category (Coos County to the north is the only other), the county faces higher restrictions than most of the rest of the state. “This week we continue to see the majority of counties at lower and moderate risk, and I want to thank Oregonians once again for making smart choices throughout this pandemic,” Brown wrote in a press release Tuesday. Most of the state’s higher-population counties are in less-restrictive categories due to their lower rates
of virus spread in the community, like Eugene’s Lane County in the low-risk category, and the Portland metro area’s Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties in the moderate-risk category. In a return to the extreme level, Curry County faces some changes under the governor’s executive orders: • Restaurants may no longer offer indoor dining. Outdoor dining will be allowed, but with a limit of 50 people, a maximum of six people
per table from two households. • Indoor recreation and fitness establishments, including gyms, indoor recreational sports, indoor pools and indoor dance, among other things, face significant limits on capacity. Establishments 500 square feet and larger can have six people in shared indoor spaces, if households have six feet of distance between them. Smaller establishments may have a total of one customer and one employee at a time, and eating or drinking is prohibited
Deputies rescue stranded hiker Sheriff: Be prepared, tell others before heading out
A hiker found herself alone and trapped on a rocky ledge before she was guided to safety by a search and rescue team from the Curry County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police. Kylee Miller, a 24 year-old from Meridian, Idaho, was hiking alone near the Indian Sands Trail within the Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor on Friday morning when she lost her sense of direction and became trapped on a rocky ledge over the ocean. The weather was bad, and she was unfamiliar with the area. She then called 9-1-1. Sheriff’s deputies and the Oregon State Police, as well as one member from the sheriff’s search and rescue team, arrived at the parking lot of Indian Sands Trail. Miller was able to provide her approximate location to the responders through available technology. When the responders located Miller she was uninjured, and they guided her back to safety. The responders led her back to the parking lot and gave her some practical advice. “We advised her that she should research the area before next time, and stay on marked trails,” said Sheriff John Ward. In recent years, many other rescues and recoveries have been made along the coastline in this area. Future visitors should take simple precautions to avoid an outcome similar, or worse, to Miller’s. “Be prepared. Have a cell-phone, water, extra food, and let somebody know where you are and what time you are expected out,” said Ward.

After a hiker got stranded near Indian Sands, a search and rescue team from the Curry County Sheriff’s Office was able to hike to the woman and lead her safely out. Sheriff John Ward said the fact she had a cell phone and stayed in place after realizing she was lost helped the rescuers locate her.
Under Biden mandate, state speeds vaccine timeline In a quick about-face from just a week earlier, Oregon health officials announced March 19 they would be meeting President Joe Biden’s May 1 deadline to open COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to all adults. “My team is in touch with the White House for more specifics about when vaccine shipments to states will increase,” said Gov. Kate Brown in a press conference. “We have always attempted to align our vaccination timelines with available federal supplies. And so far, it’s been really encouraging to see so many Oregonians eager to get the vaccine when it’s their turn.” The news came informally earlier in the week, when Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen told Oregon Public Broadcasting the agency had determined the pres-

at all establishments (other than individual water bottles). • Outdoor recreation and fitness establishments will still be allowed, up to 50 people. • Outdoor entertainment establishments, like zoos, gardens and outdoor event spaces, will be limited to a maximum of 50 people. • Long-term care centers will be limited to outdoor visitation only. • Offices must close to the public
ident’s timeline was an order, not just an optimistic suggestion. Just a week prior, Allen and other state officials were hesitant to embrace the president’s timeline, concerned about whether or not vaccine supply would be available to meet it. “The answer is yes, if the federal government comes through at the levels of vaccines we’ve projected based on the national numbers the administration has released,” Allen said. “We know it will take a couple of weeks to get through the surge. But we can keep pace.” The quicker pace — the state had originally been on track to open eligibility to all adults July 1 — means the rest of the state’s vaccination timeline is also moving up. But Allen said Friday the new timeline will result in some “traffic jams” when large classes of people become eligible for the vaccine. “However, I want to be crystal
clear. Not every Oregonian will have a vaccination appointment waiting for them,” the director said. “It’ll take a few weeks for supply to catch up to demand.” Still, health officials laid out a new timeline for making Oregonians eligible to get in line for the vaccine. Starting March 22, vaccinations will open slightly: • Counties that attest to largely completing the vaccination of residents 65 and older may begin vaccinating the next eligible groups. • Vaccinations may also begin for migrant and seasonal farmworkers in counties where they are currently already working. Starting March 29, the following groups will be eligible: • All adults 45-64 with underlying health conditions, • Migrant and seasonal farm workers, • Seafood and agricultural work-
ers, • Food processing workers, • People living in low-income senior housing, senior congregate and independent living, • Individuals experiencing homelessness, • People currently displaced by wildfires, • Wildland firefighters and • Pregnant people 16 and older. Starting April 19, the state will open eligibility to: • Frontline workers as defined by the CDC, • Multigenerational household members and • Adults 16-44 with underlying health conditions. And on May 1, the state will open vaccine eligibility to anyone 16 and older, according to OHA. A complete list of eligibility guidelines will be available on the state’s website at covidvaccine. oregon.gov.
City leaders in Gold Beach are planning to add increasing the city’s housing availability to a long list of city goals. City councilors discussed the topic during a work session Monday night, while they reviewed the language of the city’s long-term goals and tossed around ideas for achieving them. Precise language and definitive action items still have to be drafted by city staff and sent back to the council for approval, but the consensus among councilors was that housing is important enough an issue in the city to add to the city’s list of high-level priorities. “I think housing falls into several of these goals,” Councilor Summer Matteson said. “We’ve been doing a lot with housing in the city that maybe warrants its own category, or goal.” The goal will join several other areas of city focus, including fiscal sustainability, quality of life, community safety, intergovernmental relations and economic growth. While the city’s goals are fairly general, they’re the guiding force behind each of the city’s future actions. Each goal gets a list of action items, deliverables and measurements attached to it over time, and Mayor Tamie Kaufman said the goals are what the council should return to as it makes decisions. “I think one of the ways that we stay out of doing things that we are like, ‘why are we doing this now?’ is to go back when somebody brings something up and say, ‘OK, is it in our goals? Is it one of the things we identified that we wanted to do, and did we break it out into an action item,” Kaufman told councilors Monday. Within the newly proposed housing goal, councilors shared a number of ideas about how the city could increase the availability of affordable housing within the city. A key item will be to update the city’s zoning ordinance to allow for more housing in the city, an item Kaufman said is already in process, and to establish zoning and planning rules which encourage developers to use the upper floors of buildings as housing. “No more buildings where it’s not encouraged to put something upstairs,” Kaufman suggested. Councilor Becky Campbell suggested the city could partner with employers to incorporate a housing component to their future plans. “I like that idea, too, councilor because they could get more qualified candidates for jobs,” said Councilor Anthony Pagano.

Governor announces 10-point Economic Recovery Plan The Pilot Governor Kate Brown recently released a 10-Point Economic Recovery Plan for Oregon. The 10-Point Plan, which was developed with input from the Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors and Racial Justice Council, builds on the work of local economic development districts across the state to help Oregon families and businesses. It provides a framework for economic recovery related to COVID-19 and wildfires, with a specific focus on strategically supporting black, indigenous, and people of color communities. The governor also outlined her principles for the use of federal American Rescue Plan resources, to guide state agencies and local governments in making investments that will maximize immediate benefits for Oregonians in an equitable way. “Thanks in part to the passage of the American Rescue Plan, Oregon’s outlook for a rapid economic recovery is strong, if we act quickly to get relief to Oregonians,” said Brown. “We have the opportunity now to lift up Oregon families and businesses, by immediately investing state and federal resources to help them recover from the devastating economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.” “We must do so by creating a more just and equitable Oregon, helping the communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic and wildfires. By rooting our recovery efforts in equity, we can support economic growth for Oregon’s black, indigenous, Latino, Latina, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, native Amer-
ican, and tribal communities. “My 10-Point Plan provides a roadmap for economic recovery and will guide our state and local governments as we invest our shares of federal dollars from the American Rescue Plan.

California Condors are making a return to the Pacific Northwest For the first time in 100 years, the endangered California condor will return to the Pacific Northwest. Once on the brink of extinction, this iconic species has made significant steps towards recovery. This week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service and the Yurok Tribe announced a final rule that will help facilitate the creation of a new California condor release facility for the reintroduction of condors to Yurok Ancestral Territory and Redwood National Park, which is in the northern portion of the species’ historic range. This facility will be operated by the Northern California Condor Restoration Program, a partnership between Redwood National Park and Yurok Tribe. The rule will designate the condors affiliated with this program as a nonessential, experimental population under the Endangered Species Act. This status will provide needed flexibility in managing the reintroduced population, reduce the regulatory impact of reintroducing a federally listed species and facilitate cooperative conservation. “The California condor is a shining example of how a species can be brought back from the brink of extinction through the power of partnerships,” said Paul Souza, regional director for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s California-Great Basin Region. “I would like to thank the Yurok Tribe, National Park Service, our state partners and others who

and require remote work if able. • Indoor and outdoor social gatherings will be limited to six people, with a maximum of two households. The county’s recent virus data make clear why it changed categories this week: Its case rate has been increasing every week this month. According to OHA, Curry County reported 69 new cases between March 7 and 20. The same time period saw a test positivity rate of 7.3% — second in the state only to Coos County. To leave the extreme-risk category, Curry County will need to report fewer than 45 cases between March 21 and April 3, as well as a test positivity below 10%. The state will release new warning week data Tuesday, and reassign risk levels April 6 to take effect April 9. According to County Public Health Administrator Sherrié Ward, Curry County saw 38 new cases of the virus between March 16 and 22. Twenty-three of those cases came from south county in the Brookings area, 13 came from central county and two from north county. “These cases are related to previously reported cases, large families, schools and from work places,” Ward wrote in a press release Monday. Vaccinations are advancing in the county, with around 5,400 residents vaccinated by Tuesday, ranking it 16th in the state by people vaccinated per resident.
were instrumental in this project. Together, we can help recover and conserve this magnificent species for future generations.” With a wingspan of almost 10 feet, the California condor is the largest soaring land bird in North America. These massive vultures are essential members of their ecosystems and play a significant role in the spiritual and cultural beliefs of the Yurok Tribe, as well as many other tribes, throughout northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Over the past 12 years, the Yurok Tribe has led this reintroduction effort and completed a tremendous amount of legwork to prepare for the return of condors to the Pacific Northwest. Extensive environmental assessments, contaminant analyses and community outreach were just a few of the requisite tasks. The tribe completed this endeavor because the condor is an irreplaceable part of a sacred cultural landscape. Pending completion of the condor release facility, the anticipated release of condors would be fall of 2021 or spring of 2022. “For the last 20 years, the Yurok Tribe has been actively engaged in the restoration of the rivers, forests and prairies in our ancestral territory. The reintroduction of the condor is one component of this effort to reconstruct the diverse environmental conditions that once existed in our region. We are extremely proud of the fact that our future generations will not know a world without prey-go-neesh. We

are excited to work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Redwood National Park on the final stages of the project and beyond,” said Joseph L. James, chairman of the Yurok Tribe. California condors prehistorically ranged from California to Florida and, in contemporary times, from Western Canada to Northern Mexico. By the mid-20th Century, condor populations drastically declined due to poaching and poisoning. In 1967, the California condor was listed as endangered. In 1982, only 23 condors survived worldwide. By 1987, all remaining wild condors were placed into a captive breeding program.

critical step toward recovery of this majestic landscape,” said Steve Mietz, superintendent of Redwood National and State Parks. “Working with our friends and partners, the Yurok Tribe and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, we will continue the unparalleled success story of condor recovery allowing all Americans to visit the tallest trees in the world while watching one of the largest birds in the world soar overhead.” “We are excited for this opportunity to bring these iconic birds back to California habitat that has not been occupied for decades,” said Stafford Lehr, deputy director of Wildlife and Fisheries for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. “These birds are important to the biodiversity of the landscape and we are pleased with the collaboration amongst state and federal agencies, the Yurok Tribe, and private companies to conserve this species.” The final rule exempts most incidental take of condors within the nonessential experimental population, pro-
vided the take is unintentional and not due to negligent conduct. Although the rule exempts most incidental take, certain activities are prohibited within 656 feet (200 meters) of an occupied nest. These include habitat alteration (e.g., removing trees, erecting structures, altering the nest structure or perches near the nest) and significant
visual or noise disturbance (e.g., tree felling, chainsaws, helicopter overflights, concrete cutters, fireworks or explosives). There are two exemptions: emergency fuel treatment activities by federal, state, tribal or local government agencies to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires and responses to wildfire or other emergencies.
us retain and lower the turnover,” Matteson said. “And I think we could all do it if we all partner together.” Councilors tentatively added the goal of encouraging groups with solutions for the city’s unhoused population, but didn’t finalize what that encouragement — financial or otherwise — might exactly look like. Alongside the plan to add housing availability as a city goal, councilors tinkered with the language of the city’s other strategic goals. Among them, “influence economic growth” rose to the top as a key point of discussion. “I think that’s our biggest one, yeah. Which I think we’ve been doing a pretty
good job on that, too,” Pagano said. Councilors agreed the city should add language to the goal to encourage development within the city’s enterprise zones and urban renewal area. They also agreed on the idea of encouraging cottage and home industries, like making handmade items and other businesses easily run in the home. “There’s so many people who can work from home now, and you don’t even know it,” Kaufman said. Community spaces — like a business park or commercial kitchen — could enhance those industries in the city, too, councilors agreed. Councilors agreed on a slew of other ideas to add to
the city’s goals, like updating a feasibility study on extending sewer service on Jerry’s Flat Road and Hunter Creek Road and improving relationships with other local agencies and governments. Other planned adjustments will likely include clarifications to some of the document’s more ambiguous lines and a distinction between which goals have yet to be met, and which just need to be sustained. Councilors couldn’t make any final decisions during Monday’s work session, but will take up the topic again at their April 5 meeting, after city staff tinker with the precise language of the goals and the action items underneath them.

We can act now to fight wildfires By Harrison Raine For the 2021 fire season, the writing is on the wall. The West, despite a few days of intense winter, is far drier than it was leading up to last year’s record-breaking fires. As a hotshot crewmember, the reality of what’s to come fills me with two distinct thoughts: money and dread. With my financial stability tied to overtime pay, I know that my pockets will be full when I am laid off next winter. But the unrelenting fires that stand between now and then make me nervous. I also know that I am not alone. Across the West, people in homes and communities are filled with anxiety as they look at dry timber and brown hillsides that are usually white this time of year. For them, when the air fills with smoke, there won’t be any fire paychecks, just a prolonged sense of uncertainty. Drought levels often serve as a good indicator of the fires to come, and things are far worse now than they were in the build-up to 2020. Rich Tinker, an author of the U.S. Drought Monitor at the Climate Prediction Center, told me, “In 2020, the highest we got to anywhere, was a D2 - Severe Drought. Now we are looking at D3 - D4 Extreme and Exceptional Drought across much of the West and almost all of the Southwest.” When Nick Nauslar, a fire meteorologist at the National Interagency Fire Center, talks about the fire season to come, he’s particularly blunt: “The deck is stacked against us. I fully expect a busier season than normal across the Southwest.” For Tinker and Nauslar, the areas of concern primarily encompass the Four Corners states of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. When you put together light snowpack, dry fuels and high temperatures, every wildland firefighter knows what that means. In my time as wildland firefighter, the question I get asked again and again is whether I am ever scared. The answer to this question is “yes,” but not in the life-or-death sense in which it’s asked. There are far more constant threats than the flames themselves. Smoke, for one. Carbon emissions, for another. I think I’m worried most by the knowledge that damage from these wildfires affects the health of millions of people, and that the large wildfires of today are ensuring even bigger ones in the future. Everyone
should be concerned about this reality, not just those of us on the fire line. Wildfires and their management are known by some researchers as a “wicked problem,” where no optimal solution exists. For decades, forest managers were convinced that suppressing all fires was the answer. But we’ve known for a while now how misplaced those beliefs were, even as many agencies cling to that failed strategy of a century ago. Jerry Williams, former fire and aviation director for the U.S. Forest Service, puts it best about our stubborn wrongheadedness: “Every year we set a new record, we invest more in (fire) suppression, invest less in mitigation and wonder why we’re not getting on top of it.” If someone who directed the largest wildland firefighting force in the world makes this statement, it’s probably time to try something else. What we need are policies and programs that address wildfires in ways beyond just putting fires out. This spring, Colorado showed that it’s willing to learn from last season’s pain when Gov. Jared Polis and state legislators from both sides of the aisle released a series of bills aimed at wildfire mitigation, not only wildfire suppression. These bills are exciting for several reasons such as: allocation of millions for forest health projects and grants for communities and individual homeowners to carry out their own hazard reduction projects. Also there is an attempt to seek out incentives for markets to address fuel mitigation through biomass energy. The millions the state spends now on restoring forests and hardening homes pale in comparison to the costs of firefighting and rebuilding homes. Every dollar spent on prevention saves $17 in suppression costs, according to a report commissioned by former Utah Gov. Gary R. Herbert. There is also a bill to allow former inmates with firefighting experience to seek future employment with the state, which will help ensure a consistent workforce. I hope the federal government is taking notes. Harrison Raine is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. He started fighting wildfires in 2016 and lives in Colorado.

Guest Opinion Don’t succumb to fear, use it By Bryan Golden Fear has an evolutionary foundation. The emotion of fear was intended to keep you safe. Fear triggered the fight or flight reflex. When you felt threatened, you would either run from the danger, or fight it head on. Fear remains as powerful an emotion today as it was eons ago. Fear is helpful when it prevents you from taking needless risks. However, fear can lead to acting contrary to your self-interests. Fear often leads to procrastination, or following the wrong path. Debilitating fears include fear of failure, fear of loneliness, fear of rejection, fear of ridicule, fear of criticism, fear of job loss, and fear of poverty. Ironically, succumbing to fear leads to the very failure you were afraid of. For example, fear of public speaking can be debilitating. People who succumb to stage fright never speak in front of people. It’s interesting to note that there are a number of notable actors and musicians who had to overcome stage fright in order to pursue their passion. Had they succumbed to their fear, they would never have succeeded. Fear is created in your mind by conjuring up, and obsessing about worst case scenarios. You
create your own mental monster which impedes progress towards your goals. Since you have created this fear, you can also vanquish it. Replace your worst-case scenarios with best case outcomes. Fear can be based on external factors. Such as when you are fearful of the actions other people may take if you don’t comply with their requests or demands. In this situation, you feel compelled to capitulate in order to avoid potential negative consequences. The danger here is doing things you don’t want to do, or shouldn’t be doing. Peer pressure is a classic example of this type of fear. Succumbing to fear, whether internal, or external, invariably leads to regrets. When you act out of fear, you attract more fear. A classic example is the schoolyard bully who seeks out victims who are afraid of him, while avoiding those people who will stand up to his aggression. You avoid things you are afraid of. Think about how great you would feel being free from the shackles of fear. Imagine how much you could accomplish if you weren’t afraid. With a determined mind, you leave fear behind you. Whatever fears you have can be conquered. Start by identifying your fears; exactly what you are afraid of and why. Once you know what you
are dealing with, you can formulate an effective strategy for overcoming your fears. Fear feeds procrastination. Start doing what you have been afraid to do. Go wherever you are afraid to go. Any success requires taking risks. Tell yourself you will not act out of fear. You get over stage fright by speaking in front of groups. You get over the fear of saying NO by saying NO where appropriate. Fear is based on what you think might happen. Instead of fretting over what happens if something doesn’t work, get excited over all the good which will result when something does work. Create for yourself objectives which you must attain. Don’t permit failure to lead to fear. Just because something didn’t work as planned doesn’t mean it can’t work, or won’t work. Determine what went wrong, and why. Then go at it again after making adjustments. It took Thomas Edison 10,000 tries before creating a commercially viable electric light bulb. Edison was never deterred by a failed attempt. He kept at it until success was reached.

Letters to the Editor Is government needed? Concerning your column: For years, I have argued in my weekly column that government in the United States is backwards. It is almost impossible for a citizen to oblige governments in places like Salem or D.C. to control itself but locally we should have a better chance at it. As James Madison once wrote in Federalist No. 51; ......If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.... Joe Wilson Gold Beach
Why so much vitriol? I’ve read with interest the Letters to the Editor in recent editions of the Pilot. When I noted an earlier letter laced with vitriol and unsubstantiated statements, I thought it might be an outlier editorial decision to publish it. However, another letter in the March 19, 2021, edition contained similar hatred and misinformation, and it lead me to question whether this is the philosophic position of the ownership and editorial staff of the Pilot. It’s a shame that we can’t have rational discussions or disagreements over policies or programs without spewing such ugliness purported to be facts, yet are nothing but opinions. It is so tiresome to hear how folks in our little rural slice of the country have all the answers to complicated social, economic and political problems, and that those answers are to hate some other segment of society and blame all of the ills on them. It seems that most folks with whom I interact (i.e., retail sales, the food service industry, public workers, etc.) are genuinely nice people who look for a safe environment in which to raise their families. They rarely express the
blame and hatred contained in the Letters to the Editor you have recently published. I realize that I am not forced to read these letters, but I worry that you are only publishing letters preaching divisiveness. I can only hope that there is enough of a quiet majority out there who believe in working cooperatively towards solutions to complicated problems, rather than simply blaming problems on others.

We got rid of America’s mistake Last week’s letter was absolutely right. America’s mistakes can be corrected. We’re proving that now, having corrected our bleachedblond, bilious, bloviating, burnt-orange mistake. The mistake tragically cost hundreds of thousands of American lives that could have been saved with a responsible, science-based and truthful pandemic response. The mistake maimed our democracy by inspiring a murderous insurrection with a campaign of lies and intimidation about the election. It produced the lowest GDP growth of any presidency in nearly a century, and the first net loss of American jobs since Herbert Hoover. It stained our souls as we ripped babies from the arms of their immigrant parents, many - appallingly - never to be reunited. It destroyed our world leadership and international respect with craven groveling before our deadliest enemy – even as that enemy cyber-bombed our government. The November banishment of the mistake has produced immediate benefits. Pandemic help is arriving – help for local vaccination campaigns and small businesses, help for Americans to pay their bills and feed their children and stay in their homes and access quality health care. Help that will restore those millions of lost jobs and grow our economy up to 7% this year, considerably more than it grew in the last four years combined. Meanwhile, our adversaries are taking note of America’s new back-
bone. President Biden coordinated with our allies (wow, imagine that!) to sanction China for the Uyghur genocide, and caused Putin to recall his ambassador by calling out his criminality (well done!). In just two months we have rediscovered competence, honor and dignity. The perversion of the Justice Department, the friends-and-family pardons, the cowardly insults and sniveling tweets are over. The mistake will face criminal charges, as justice demands. America is slowly becoming America again. And that’s no mistake. Mike Gaynes Brookings
When can the vaccinated eat out? Many of us here are now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, so when will we be able to eat out with other vaccinated people? Can the restaurants give notice in the paper or on “Nextdoor Brookings” that an area of the restaurant will be set aside for those fully vaccinated people, so we can eat in instead of just getting take out that costs more, has less food and leaves us with a lot of trash to toss out? Wherever that area is, it needs to be AWAY from the entry door so those anti maskers can’t come near us. Vaccination is not 100%, it just protects us from getting very sick and dying, I hope. Sheila Chambers Brookings
Let’s have a burning party In regards to the invasive grass article from March 19, I think we should have a “Torch It” day on the coast where everyone with pampas grass has a celebratory bonfire of it. It would probably get lots of support. It could be like our very own Socially Distanced Burning Man. You could put little effigies of COVID 19, Toilet Paper and Murder Hornets on it.

BOX 6875 SANTA ROSA, CA 95406-0875 By: ROBERT CULLEN, President NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (800) 683- 2468 or visit this Internet Web site: www.servicelinkASAP. com, using the Trustee Sale number assigned to this file, T.S. #20155- RT. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (800) 683-2468 , or visit this internet website www. servicelinkASAP.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20155-RT 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.

Oregon Department of Forestry works to promote reforestation after the 2020 wildfires Unprecedented demand for forest tree seedlings after the huge wildfires of 2020, are creating difficulties for forest landowners. The Oregon Department of Forestry along with Oregon State University and other forestry organizations can help address some of the issues that make reforesting challenging. “Seedlings were already in short supply in Oregon before the fires,” explained Kyle Abraham, chief of ODF’s Private Forests Division. “Now, rough estimates are that somewhere between 80 and 140 million additional seedlings could be needed to reforest just the non-federal lands that burned in 2020.” Abraham added while these estimates are still preliminary, the possible range of seedlings needed is two to three times the typical number of seedlings needed each year for reforestation in Oregon. Abraham cited three other factors that limit seedling availability. • Labor shortages It’s hard for nurseries to ramp up production and for landowners to find workers to do replanting. • Financial risk
Seedlings have a short shelf life once “lifted” from a nursery. Nurseries mostly grow for landowners who are regular buyers of many seedlings and file orders years ahead of time. • Lack of nursery space Few nurseries specialize in forest species to meet the demands for seedlings. Abraham said availability of seed can sometimes also be an issue. “Trees must be grown from the appropriate seed – seed that is adapted to the area where it will be planted. That generally takes two years. While seed inventories are generally strong for most areas of the state, there are some isolated gaps. We’re also working to help fill those gaps.” Abraham said landowners with smaller acreages often need help finding the right seedlings for their zone. In recognition of how hard it is for many landowners to find seedlings, Abraham said they should contact ODF if they need assistance. “Our goal is to help landowners reforest,” said Abraham. “We are being realistic about how feasible that is under the circumstances.”
Working on solutions OSU Extension and the Oregon Small Woodlands Association have surveyed landowners about their seedling needs. That surveyed group alone needs about 3.5 million trees to fully reforest. “ODF has convened a working group with representatives from state and federal land management agencies, the forest and nursery industries, OSU Extension and nonprofit associations that serve small-acreage landowners to help address some of these needs,” said Abraham. He said the group is currently considering some of the following: • Immediate options to procure or grow seedlings for smaller landowners. This strategy includes working with both private and public nurseries. • Looking at options to increase in-state nursery capacity. • Developing the necessary organizational structure to collect and batch seedling orders for smaller-acreage landowners – and to help with some of the storage and transportation logistics. Because of climate
change, seedlings planted today will grow and mature in climate conditions different than exist today. “It’s more important than ever to get the right species of tree and from the right seed source planted in the right place,” said Abraham. “Landowners should carefully consider what species are likely to do well at the elevation and sun exposure where they will be planted. Resources that can help are ODF foresters, local OSU Forestry Extension specialists and online seedlot selection tools, among others.” On the labor front, Abraham said ODF has lists of current contractors to give landowners who need help planting trees. The agency is also looking at options to help landowners coordinate and work with a single contractor across multiple ownerships to help implement site preparation, planting, and maintenance for family forest landowners. This approach will make better use of limited contract resources. ODF and OSU Forestry Extension have educational resources and can offer tree planting lessons for people who want to plant trees themselves.

FORTUNES CHANGE FOR HOMELESS WOMAN BUT NOT HER COMPANION DEAR ABBY: I used to be a successful working woman until I lost my husband of 30 years. After I became homeless, I met “Tom.” We’ve been good friends for the last five years, hanging out in the woods, sometimes getting hotel rooms. It’s a platonic relationship, but we rely on each other. I receive Social Security survivor benefits now, and I want to move on and get my own place. He says he’s fine with it, but I feel terribly guilty. He gets a small disability check but is not wise with money. How can I comfort him? -- GUILTY IN FLORIDA DEAR GUILTY: Tom has told you he is fine with you upgrading your living situation. I presume that
you don’t intend to desert him. Believe him and stop flogging yourself for your good fortune. Help him when you can and encourage him to contact an agency that helps the homeless so he can get his life back on track, too. DEAR ABBY: I’m in a same-sex relationship with a woman I love and admire. But five months in, sex is becoming impossible because I think I’m heterosexual. Leaving this relationship scares me because
I can’t imagine a life without her. I told her I didn’t know if, for several reasons, sex would be a part of our relationship, but that I do love her. She doesn’t seem to mind at all. I’m not sure what to do. Please help. -- LOVING IN LOUISIANA DEAR LOVING: What you need to do is be honest with your partner. It is possible that you are bisexual and need to explore relationships with men before making up your mind about any permanent relationship. If sex is important to you, then the person you wind up with may not be this woman you love and admire, but someone else entirely. DEAR ABBY: My grandson died by suicide in 2019. My daughter, who lives in another state, hasn’t spoken to me since. Why? Because we did not call her on the phone.
We were texting her, and she was texting us back. When I did try to call, she wouldn’t answer the phone. It has been more than a year now. She won’t respond to other family members, either. Please advise me what to do in this sad situation. -- WOUNDED GRANDMA IN TEXAS DEAR GRANDMA: Not knowing your daughter, I am hesitant to guess why she has isolated herself from everyone. She may have felt she was entitled to more support from you all and didn’t receive it. As many people have pointed out in my column, while texts may be efficient, they are a poor substitute for a human voice. Because she refuses your calls, write her a letter telling her you love her and apologize for letting her down after the tragedy of losing her son. Whether
it will help, I can’t guess -- but at least the olive branch will have been offered.

Briefs Short-term course prepares students for construction work Rogue Community College is offering a new short-term course this spring designed to help students prepare for entry-level jobs in the construction industry. The Construction Trade Fundamentals course will introduce students to basic fundamentals of residential construction. This course includes instruction and practice in the application of basic math skills for construction, job site safety, safe use and care of hand-tools and power tools as well as an overview of design, construction and working in the industry.

The Brookings-Harbor football team canceled the final two games of its season in the wake of several injuries and an extensive COVID-19 quarantine that has touched several of the school’s sports teams. “Unfortunately, we had kids that had to quarantine due to families with COVID,” Brookings-Harbor coach Shaun Bavaro said. “Then injuries and a few kids that left for spring break.” He said the Bruins started six freshmen and had three others who played a lot of minutes in their third game Friday, a 28-6 loss to St. Mary’s. “I’m bummed for my seniors,” Bavaro said, before finding a silver lining. “Our young kids played a ton this year,” he said. “And now we have tape to teach off of.” After the season was delayed until winter, and with no playoff structure, Bavaro treated it like a spring practice session, especially since the Bruins installed a new offense. “Great spring ball session for our young guys,” he said, adding that the team will take a couple of weeks off and then get back to work preparing for the fall.

GIRLS SOCCER Brookings-Harbor, short-handed because of students in quarantine, had two straight losses after starting the season 5-0-1. The Bruins lost to St. Mary’s 3-0 and Sutherlin 9-1, both on the road. They earlier had beaten Sutherlin 4-3 at home. Brookings-Harbor has a match at Marshfield on Wednesday before finishing the season at home against South Umpqua.
VOLLEYBALL The Bruins had a fourmatch win streak end when they lost at Cascade Christian last Thursday. They placed South Umpqua on Tuesday and were scheduled to play both North Bend and Douglas at Douglas on Friday. Because Curry County is going back into extreme risk and Douglas County is dropping out of that designation the matches were moved from Brookings to Winston. The Bruins are scheduled to finish the season with matches Tuesday and Thursday at St. Mary’s and Sutherlin.

Lawsuit seeks to reinstate protections on of critical Northern Spotted Owl habitat Conservation groups in the Pacific Northwest filed a legal challenge Tuesday to reinstate federal protections on more than 3.4 million acres of federal old-growth forests, which are essential for the survival of the threatened northern spotted owl. The lawsuit asks the court to reject a rule issued in the last days of the Trump administration that eliminated onethird of the critical habitat protections for the species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service protected the northern spotted owl, a bird found only in the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest, as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 1990. In 2012, approximately 9.6 million acres of habitat necessary for the owl’s survival and recovery were protected on federally managed public lands in Washington, Oregon and Northern California. The nonprofit law firms Earthjustice and Western Environmental Law Center represent Audubon Society of Portland, Cascadia Wildlands, Center for Biological Diversity, Conservation Northwest, Environmental Protection Information Center, Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center, Oregon Wild, Sierra Club and The Wilderness Society in the lawsuit. “Protecting habitat is the most important thing we can do for the owl,” said Bob Sallinger, Audubon Society of Portland conservation director. “If northern spotted
owls are going to survive and recover, we must get all the habitat protections back in place.” The drastic slashing of critical habitat protections in January came as a surprise, as an earlier proposed rule suggested eliminating protections for only 200,000 acres. The final rule also came despite the service’s science-based conclusion in December that northern spotted owl populations deserved to be protected as endangered due to continued habitat loss. The old-growth forests that support spotted owl populations also have an important role to play in the global climate crisis, as they absorb and store more carbon. As a result, scientists consider old-growth forests to be a part of the solution to reduce the impacts of climate change. “By cutting critical habitat, Trump not only hurt the northern spotted owl but the multitude of species that depend on these same rare and threatened old-growth forests,” said Tom Wheeler, executive director at EPIC. “Protecting the owl also means protections for the wide diversity of life — from salamanders to flying squirrels — that call our western forests home.” “It defies logic, not to mention spotted owl biology, to eliminate 3.4 million acres of protected habitat for this charismatic species,” said Susan Jane Brown, a Western Environmental Law Center staff attorney.
A Northern spotted owl at the Gifford Pinchot forest in Washington. “Owls are so imperiled that endangered status is appropriate, and yet the agency stripped the owl of essential habitat protections. That’s nonsensical.” Earlier this month the Biden administration extended the date at which the rule slashing habitat protections would go into effect and asked for further public comment on the millions of acres of owl habitat that would be opened for logging. In addition to spotted owl
recovery, preserving oldgrowth forests, which serve as buffers against climate change, could help the Biden administration to achieve overarching national climate goals while supporting the Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement. “The Trump administration looted the palace on its way out the door,” said Kristen Boyles, an Earthjustice staff attorney. “The Biden administration is taking the

right steps to fix the mess it was handed, and we want to ensure it continues to do so.” “This habitat rollback, like so many Trump assaults on the environment, was inaccurate, sloppy and illegal,” said Ryan Shannon, a staff attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity. “Our goal is to make sure the owl retains all the habitat protections it scientifically needs to recover.” “The Trump administration eliminated protection for
millions of acres of spotted owl habitat in areas that are essential for the recovery of the species,” said Doug Heiken of Oregon Wild. “For instance, scientists have said that the spotted owls cannot survive on the National Forest alone. Low-elevation Bureau of Land Management forests serve as vital stepping stones of suitable habitat for spotted owls moving between large blocks of habitat in the Cascades and the Coast Range.”
Oregonians can renew Income tax filing deadline extended to May 17 driver license online Many Oregon residents will be able to renew their driver licenses, permits and identification cards online at DMV2U starting in early May, possibly as early as May 5. This new feature coming to DMV2U.Oregon.gov will save thousands of customers a trip to a DMV office and free up appointment times for others. Demand for appointment slots and DMV services remains high because of the COVID-19 backlog. “We hope that people will consider renewing online instead of making an appointment at a local office,” DMV Administrator Amy Joyce said. “We understand it’s frustrating for Oregonians who have a hard time finding an appointment slot. We’re adding more online services to better serve customers and get them what they need without a trip to a DMV office.” Joyce noted, however, “If you want to change from a regular driver license or ID card to a Real ID-compliant credential, you will need to make an appointment and come into the office. The same is true if you need to add a motorcycle or farm endorsement, or add a veteran designation, or renew a limited-term credential or renew in other uncommon situations.” When you renew online, you will be able to print a receipt to carry with you. Law enforcement can verify your driving privileges electronically in the event of a traffic stop. This online option comes at a critical time. DMV mails renewal reminders to customers about two months before expiration. But many reminders intended to be mailed this winter were delayed by a programming error. Those customers may be eligible to renew online in May faster than waiting for an appointment. News of the online renewal option has been added to the reminders. “This new service is ideal for customers who only need to renew the type of card they currently have,” Joyce said. “Most importantly, it gives you a choice – you may wish to wait until May to renew online instead of setting an appointment and going in person.” Grace period for late renewal Oregon residents with a vehicle registration, permit
or driver license that expires between Nov. 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021, have up to three months after their expiration date to renew. DMV and Oregon law enforcement have an agreement that officers will use discretion in a traffic stop when a customer has an expired license or vehicle tag and is within the grace period. What credentials you can renew online You will be able to renew your: • Driver license • Commercial driver license • ID card • Instruction permit • Motorcycle instruction permit • Restricted moped-only license • Disability golf cart driver permit

RCC to increase tuition 3.5% for 2021-22 The Rogue Community College Board of Education on March 16 approved a tuition increase of $4 per credit for Oregon students for the 2021-22 school year. The 3.5 percent increase for in-state tuition is slightly less than last year’s 3.57 percent increase as well as the 10year average increase of 4.5 percent. Most RCC students will not see an increase in fees next year. The college services fee remains at $17 per credit and the technical fee will stay at $7 per credit. To keep costs down for the majority of students, the board approved new fees for certain health care programs to cover costs specific to those programs. The new fees are financial aid eligible. Tuition increases will begin summer term. RCC will increase in-state tuition by $4 per credit, for a total of $120 per credit. Out-ofstate students will pay $148 per credit, an increase of $5, while tuition for international students will be $400 per credit, an increase of $13. Additional fees were implemented for several health care programs. Students in human services and several health care programs will pay
a $100 fee for their practicum course. Affected programs include EMT and paramedicine, human services, medical administrative assisting, medical assisting, pharmacy technician and phlebotomy. A new fee of $45 per term was approved for students in the massage therapy program. Three first aid courses will see minimal increases of $5 or less in course fees. Nursing students starting this fall in the college’s associate degree nursing program will pay a new fee of $1,600 per term in addition to standard tuition and fees, as will students in a new dental hygiene program that’s being developed. New students in the practical nursing program will pay a $500 fee per term in addition to standard tuition and fees. “The new fees for these programs represent a change in philosophy,” said Lisa Stanton, chief financial officer for the college. “These programs have a small student-instructor ratio as well as specialized labs and equipment. Instead of spreading the cost of these higher-expense programs to all students, the college has adopted fees for specific programs.”

Legislature moves forward on funding to help cities to serve unhoused Oregonians The Oregon Legislature this week advanced $18 million in critical funding to develop low-barrier shelter and navigation centers in areas where local government has taken on new efforts to address unsheltered homelessness. As part of the process to rebalance the 2019-21 budget next week, House Bill 5042 includes funding to support six low-barrier emergency shelters, known as navigation centers. These facilities are open seven days per week to connect homeless individuals and families with health services, permanent housing and public benefits. House Bill 5042 includes funding for navigation centers in the following communities: • Eugene - $5 million • Salem - $5 million • Bend - $2.5 million • Medford - $2.5 million • McMinnville - $1.5 million • Roseburg - $1.5 million “Many communities across the state are working to address the needs of their unhoused neighbors,” House Speaker Tina Kotek (D-Portland) said. “These communities are ready to build, and we must get them this funding as quickly as possible so they can make these facilities operational by next winter.” The funding was previously in House Bill 2004, which still contains $27 million for grants to be distributed statewide to increase low-barrier shelter capacity, provide necessary facilities and amenities and rapid rehousing services. “Roseburg is making a lot of progress to provide shelter
