Curry could see ‘extreme’ restrictions next week BY ZACK DEMARS The Pilot

COVID-19 case rates across the state are declining — but not in Curry County. According to state data released Tuesday, Curry County could be forced back into the extreme-risk category as soon as next week if current trends continue. That would require restaurants and recreational facilities to close their indoor oper-

ations for at least two weeks. “Businesses can’t take much more. Especially our restaurants. We’ve already lost some,” said Court Boice, chair of the board of county commissioners, in a phone call Tuesday. “That’s my biggest concern.” Fortunately, Tuesday’s data was only advisory, meaning it doesn’t change the county’s risk level right away. The next risk level change will take place March 12, after new

data are announced March 9. To avoid a higher level of restrictions, the county will need to see significant declines in COVID-19 spread. Boice said reducing that spread will be critical in making sure restaurants can remain open. “We’re going to get into spring here pretty soon, we’re going to have people visiting,” Boice said. “We’re in the hospitality business. We’ve got some incredible, incredible people that provide that.”

Both metrics the state uses to determine risk levels were in the “extreme” category last week. Curry County reported 61 cases of the virus between Feb. 14 and 27. What’s more, 10.4% of virus tests in the same timeframe came back positive — the highest rate in the state. In order to remain in the current moderate-risk category of restrictions, the county will have to reduce that positivity rate to below 8% and

report fewer than 45 new cases of the virus for the period between Feb. 21 and March 6. According to Sherrié Ward, the county’s public health administrator, Curry County Public Health received notification of 19 new virus cases between Feb. 23 and March 1. Six are from south county, one is from north county and 12 are from central county, according to Ward.

Sylvia Yock faced a dilemma. After suffering a stroke and a seizure a decade ago, she was terrified of speaking publicly. The trauma of her medical condition left her shaken, and changes to her body made it difficult to talk. That’s when her husband, Raymond, had an idea. A hydrangea farmer in Harbor, Raymond made his wife go outside every day to sell flowers to strangers. And it worked. Sylvia slowly regained her confidence. Today, it would be hard to imagine Sylvia struggling to communicate as she runs the largest business at the Brookings Farmers Market two times a week. “Probably about 10 years ago, I had a medical problem and the answer was for me to start selling so I could talk to people,” Yock said. “We started really small and grew to this.” This is Sylvia’s Farm Fresh Produce, which sets up every time the farmers market is open. Inside, one can find a variety of fresh vegetables, many grown at the Yock’s 150-acre farm in Brookings. While hydrangeas are still the main crop, fresh vegetables are always coming out and are for sale in Brookings. “Everything’s popular,’ Yock said. “It depends what season it is.” And for Yock, the best season is coming up in a couple of weeks – strawberries.

The needs in the community have been different during the pandemic — but no less, according to Pamela Winebarger, whose Brookings Harbor Community Helpers have been trying to meet the challenge. “The need has been great — the need has been different,” Winebarger said. “We started out 2021 just running.” The nonprofit is in transition, working to expand its services to meet the basic needs of those in the community. “We are here as community helpers. We have a help center, and we have our food bank,” Winebarger said. More Helpers, Page A3

David Galchutt can pinpoint the exact moment he knew he wanted to be an artist; a moment that came early on in his life. “When I was in kindergarten, we all had to draw trees and I drew my tree with branches and bird’s nests and things, and I looked at everybody else’s and they all looked like Q-tips. Brown and green Q-tips,” said Galchutt. “I figured at that point maybe that’s what I did that was a little bit special.” Since then, Galchutt graduated from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, Calif., and worked as an illustrator for 40 years in various industries, including children’s literature, giftware, toys and greeting cards. He also authored and illustrated his own children’s book, “There Was Magic Inside,” which was published by notable publishing house Simon & Schuster.

Curry County commissioners took a small step toward asking voters to approve a consumption tax during a work session last week. The three commissioners all expressed an interest in looking at the tax, more widely known as a sales tax, and asked county staff to research possibilities before the board decided whether to go to voters. Board Chair Court Boice brought the subject up, saying Curry County needs a new revenue stream. Boice said due to COVID-19, the county is looking at losing up to $1 million in revenue in the next fiscal year. He said a sales tax, which would be paid largely by tourists and visitors, is a good option to make up the losses. “Other than increasing fees to our citizens, which I’ve generally been in favor of, there’s been no new ideas coming in front of our board,” Boice said. “We have public health to finance, we have law enforcement to finance, we have basic services, mandated services.” Boice said a 2 percent sales tax would bring in around $3 million annually. He said how that money will be spent is still undecided, but it would provide a much-needed boost to county finances. “I think it has tremendous potential for the county,” he said. “The reason I’m convinced this is a possibly wise idea for Curry County is because it brings in a tremendous amount of money. It would actually keep the property taxes down.” Boice said his proposal would provide some exemptions to protect Curry County residents, but no final plan was produced. “It’s something I wish we had taken a look at a long time ago,” Boice said. “If the voters had passed this, we would have several million dollars at our disposal.” Boice said a sales tax would be ideal for Curry County for a couple of reasons. First, a lot of people visit the area and would help fund county government. Second, many residents of Del Norte County in California already cross the border to go shopping, and they, too, could pay into the county government. Commissioner Chris Paasch said he was interested in the idea, but said he wanted more details could make a final decision. “In some ways, I would support this,” Paasch said. Commissioner John Herzog also showed interest, but warned approval by voters would be difficult. “None of this can happen unless the voters vote for it,” Herzog said. “If we come up with a good plan and a good breakdown, the voters will let us know how they feel. When you say tax in Curry County, that’s a four-letter word. It’s interesting to me.” Paasch said if the tax was geared toward tourists, it likely would have no downside. More Tax, Page A10

Dorothy Marie Slagle Harroun August 16, 1921 - February 25, 2021

Dorothy Slagle Harroun, 99, of Harbor, died February 25, 2021 at her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Medford, Oregon on August 16, 1921 to Henry T and Sadie Slagle. She had an idyllic childhood along with her brother RB “Bob” Slagle on their Wagner Creek homestead. She graduated from Talent High School in 1938 at age 16. Her father hauled logs in the Rogue Valley. They followed the timber work living in Prospect at Skeeter’s camp and a summer on Nehalem beach. Dorothy and her girlfriends packed pears in Medford at S.O.S. and Bear Creek packing houses and apples in Washington every fall for several years. In 1947, Dorothy met Don

Harroun. He was hauling logs in the Shady Cove area where she worked in a cafe. They were married that fall and moved to Brookings the very next day where they continued to live and raise their family for the decades that followed. Volunteering was always something that Dorothy was good at. She met so many wonderful people through the years. She helped with Girls Scouts, Rainbow Girls, Eastern Star, Presbyterian Church, and Good Samaritan home. Dorothy and Don hosted Brookings’ first AFS exchange student in 1972. Walter Cordova from Bolivia stayed at the Harroun’s for a year and quickly found his place in the family. Bowling in the early years and tole painting after all the kids were gone was her constant hobby. Don and Dorothy traveled the world as well. They enjoyed trips to Australia, England, Ireland, Scotland, RV trips to the southwest and Mexico and north to Alaska. If anyone she met wanted to see the Oregon Coast, she was proud to be their host. A lot of people came from afar to stay at her home. Dorothy always put others first. She wanted everyone to sit at her kitchen table to see the amazing ocean view and fill her with stories of their lives. Most people will remem-

strawberries, she loves eating them, too. “They’ve already got blooms on them,” she said. “As long as there isn’t another heavy rain, we’ll have some soon.” Yock laughed as she recalled dozens of customers who said they weren’t interested in strawberries, until them got them to try one. One taste, and they became regulars.

Strawberries will be available as soon as the wet weather passes and will remain available until late in the year, when the rain again causes problems. Yock said she hopes that will be soon because not only does she love selling the

ber Dorothy under a beach umbrella on the Chetco river bar; her favorite place to be every summer. This tradition has carried on with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well. Hiking and backpacking came into her life at a later age. Each year she would hike and camp in the Sisters wilderness with her three girlfriends. They went on to hike in the Swiss Alps for a month when she was 76 years old. In order to get in shape for these trips she would gather up some grandkids, put on a heavy backpack, and walk the beaches or the Redwood trail on the Chetco. Dorothy is survived by her 5 children. Jim (Linda) Harroun of Roseburg; Sally (Ron) Karsten of Oregon City; Nancy (Doug) Nidiffer of Brookings; Jody (Dean) Wells of West Linn; and Donnie (Darlene) Harroun of Brookings. She has 12 grandkids and 28 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents, brother, and husband Don. The family will celebrate our Mom and Grandma at her family cemetery on Wagner Creek at a later date. Memorials can be made to Coastal Home Health & Hospice, PO Box 6042, Brookings; Presbyterian Church, PO Box 697, Brookings; or Brookings-Harbor Scholarship Foundation, PO Box 7673, Brookings.

Glenna was a dedicated mother and wife. She spent many years raising her 5 boys, and was always on the run with work, sports, and boy scouts. One of her first jobs was working in the lily fields. She was a wealth of knowledge when it came

to talking about flowers. She spent 18 years working for the cannery in the Port of Brookings. First for the Meredith Fish Company, and then for Eureka Fisheries. After retiring, she enjoyed her time as a homemaker.

Janet Diane Wakefield October 17, 1951 – February 11, 2021 their Harley on the open road. Having lived her whole life in Modesto, they purchased a cabin overlooking the Chetco River in Brookings, Oregon, to be closer to her family. When Jan started working for Gallo Winery in 1972, she didn’t realize she would put in almost four decades there, retiring in 2010. She wore many hats from personal assistant to one of the Gallo brothers to admin assistant in several offices. Along the way, she made and cherished lifelong friendships with many that she worked with. Her hands were never idle. Either she was making personalized quilt for friends and family members, tending to her large collection of beloved Bonsai’s (over 100 at one time), organizing a closet or meeting friends for a glass of wine. She kept healthy by trying the newest health fads, practicing yoga and Tai Chi. She was beautiful inside and out. Janet’s family and friends will remember her as a sweet and caring person, with a positive outlook on life and never had a harsh word to

say about anyone. After retirement, she enjoyed traveling. From the many Senior bus trips taken with her mom around California, to far off places like Spain, where she visited with Basque relatives, and then her son took her to the Philippines where she met her daughters-in-law’s family. The next adventure was to China, Japan, and Guam. She will be lovingly remembered by her son Mat and his wife Christian Wakefield, her step-grandchildren Vaea and Mark, her mother Martina Hards, sister’s Laraine and Franklin Corbin, Judy and Robert Busby, brother Gary and Patty Hards, along with many nieces and nephews. Also, her partner Stan Engel and her side kick Sam, her dog. She is preceded in death by her husband Greg Wakefield, her father Darel Hards and her nephew Tony Hards. Those wishing to honor Janet’s memory may donate to their local Humane Society. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Artist Continued From Page A1

As the current featured artist at the Manley Art Center, his recent works will be on display until April 3. Galchutt attributes his success as an artist in part to the guidance and encouragement he received from his parents early on, both of whom were also artists. His father was a graphic designer and his mother studied costume design at Chouinard Arts Institute, where the two met. “I don’t know if genetics has anything to do with it or not, but my parents were extraordinarily gifted and shared their insights and talents with me,” said Galchutt. When looking at Galchutt’s paintings and illustrations, you may notice some common elements, such as kings, castles and whimsical characters wearing ornate, medieval-looking costumes. Galchutt said that is because he is most interested in making art about historical periods and is inspired by his travels abroad. “When I go abroad, especially in England… I take tons of photos. It could be architectural detail, it could be a tapestry, it could be part

Central Curry County has reported significant spikes in COVID-19 cases over the past several weeks. According to state data, cases in the 97444 ZIP code more than doubled in February, while cases in other areas of the county increased at slower rates. Reducing the spread requires the effort of the whole community washing hands and staying home when sick, according to Boice. Wearing a face mask important, too, he said. “My outlook on that is it’s really such a small thing to ask of our people, let’s have the debate after all this,” Boice said. But beyond helping slow the spread to keep them open, Boice said community members can support restaurants and businesses at risk with patronage and patience. “They’ve done everything we’ve asked them to do over and over again,” Boice said. “If they’ve done their part, everybody can do their part.”

While increasing, vaccinations still lag behind state timeline Last week, the Oregon Health Authority announced an ambitious timeline for administering the next phases of vaccines, with projections to have 75% of seniors vaccinated by March 29, with a range of frontline workers and medically vulnerable individuals becoming eligible for the vaccine at that date.

that could be a tough benchmark to meet. “The truth is we have more demand than we have vaccine,” Williams said. The county will need a significant increase in doses delivered by the state and federal government to achieve that, according to Williams. She said the county is now receiving about 700 a week, and the health network is distributing around 400 a week, with the rest going to other clinics, pharmacies and federally qualified health centers in the county. As it stands now, local leaders are struggling to meet the state’s eligibility timeline: Seniors over 65 became eligible for vaccine doses March 1, the fourth successive week state leaders have expanded vaccine eligibility. “We’re following the state guidelines for eligibility,” Williams said. “The fact still remains we don’t have doses to vaccinate everybody who’s eligible.” While eligibility has been expanding, allocations of vaccine doses to the county haven’t kept pace. Williams said over 6,000 seniors were already signed up on CHN’s vaccine interest form a few weeks ago. “I imagine it’s gone up exponentially,” Williams said. Those sign-ups represent only seniors over 65, not health care workers, educators or others who are already eligible for the vaccine. As of Tuesday, just over 3,000 people in the county had received at least one dose of a vaccine. That interest form is the only way to get in line for a shot from CHN — though

against severe cases of COVID-19. Critically, it’s also easier to use: It only takes one dose to be effective, and doesn’t need to be stored at super-cool temperatures, making it more accessible for rural communities and populations that might not be able to return for a second dose. According to the OHA, Oregon is on track to receive 34,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week. “Having access to a third highly effective COVID-19 vaccine is a game changing development for Oregonians,” Dr. Paul Cieslak, OHA’s medical director for communicable diseases and immunization, said Monday. “We believe this vaccine is effective against the virus, and a one-dose regimen will allow us to vaccinate more Oregonians more quickly.”

some pharmacies and other providers are beginning to receive doses for administration. CHN’s form for those over 65 is available online at www.curryhealthnetwork. com/education. “If you’ve got your name on our waiting list, we will be in touch with you when you have your dose,” Williams said. Still, Williams is optimistic that the FDA’s authorization of a third vaccine, produced by Johnson & Johnson, will have the potential to vastly expand the county’s vaccine supply in future weeks. “Once the J&J hits the market, I really feel confident it’ll be a gamechanger,” she said. That vaccine, while it has a lower efficacy rate than the Moderna and Pfizer shots, has been shown in clinical trials to be just as effective

During the pandemic, Winebarger said her staff has noticed an expanding range of things their clients are in need of, as restaurants and other businesses close their doors and employees face unemployment. Personal hygiene kits, diapers, warm coats, hats, gloves, menstrual products and bus passes for return trips to the food bank are all some of the things the nonprofit has added to the stuffed-full shelves in its office. Masks and other COVID-19 personal protective equipment are important factors now, too. “Not all places give them out for free,” Winebarger said. The nonprofit has gotten help in the past year, too. A grant from the Oregon Health Authority is funding the organization’s work to provide care for those exposed to COVID-19 in south Curry County, Winebarger said. And another grant has allowed the nonprofit to hire a Spanish interpreter. The value of being able to open

its services to the Spanish-speaking population has been eye-opening, according to Winebarger. “We saw a very big increase in people that needed services that were Hispanic,” she said. “When there’s that disconnect, you don’t know that.” Both are part of the nonprofit’s plans to continue expanding its impact beyond just food bank shelves. “These are some of the things we’re beginning to transform into more of what our true mission is, which is to help our community,” Winebarger said. Still, the nonprofit is always seeking assistance. Donations can be made directly to the organization online at www.brookingsharborfoodbank.org/, or through a variety of partnership programs. The nonprofit receives funds from the Kroger roundup program at Fred Meyer — the donation isn’t direct, but the store cuts a check each quarter, Winebarger said.

Guest Opinion

Sometimes poison is the only thing that works BY TED WILLIAMS Three percent of Earth’s land mass is comprised of islands, but 95 percent of all bird extinctions have occurred on them. Main cause: Mice and rats introduced by humans. Only 10 percent of the world’s islands are rodent-free, but a rodenticide called brodifacoum is changing that. On hundreds of treated islands recovery of native plants and wildlife has been swift and spectacular. Consider rugged, 1,450-squaremile South Georgia Island in the Subantarctic. Before mice and rats disembarked from whaling vessels, it had been Earth’s richest seabird rookery. For three years, it’s been rodent free thanks to a $13.5 million project in which brodifacoum was applied by helicopters. All 33 bird species are surging back. South Georgia pipits, for example, had been virtually eliminated; now their vocalizing drowns out the roaring of elephant seals. On the U.S. National Wildlife Refuge of Palmyra in the South Pacific, rats killed millions of seabirds representing 10 species, decapitated hatchling sea turtles, decimated 10 species of land crabs and consumed seeds of imperiled Pisonia trees, halting all reproduction. Today the entire ecosystem has recovered thanks to brodifacoum treatment in 2011. In 2012, the estimated rat population on the Galápagos island of Pinzón was 18 million. All Pinzón giant tortoises hatched there were at least 150 years old because rats had eaten juveniles. In December of that year, brodifacoum killed every rat. Within months, hatchling Pinzón tortoises appeared for the first time in a century and a half - produced by animals raised and repatriated by the Santa Cruz Tortoise Center. On the Farallon Islands National Refuge, 27 miles off San Francisco, mice introduced by sealers threaten to extirpate 4,000 ashy storm-petrels – half the planet’s population. In autumn the ground undulates with mice. Sit down, and they crawl all over you. Before mice infested the refuge, burrowing owls rested briefly on their fall migration. Now they linger into winter, gorging on mice. With seed shortage, mice turn to cannibalism, then starve, so owls switch to ashy storm-petrels. Enough mice survive that their population explodes again when new seeds appear. Meanwhile mice expose sea lions and seals to deadly pathogens, spread seeds of invasive plants, devour pollinators of native plants and consume two rare species found nowhere else - Farallon camel crickets and Farallon arboreal salamanders.

Since 2004, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has tried to restore ecological health to the Farallons, but it’s continuously intimidated by opponents of all poisons in all situations. To restore island ecosystems, brodifacoum applied by trained wildlife professionals is an absolute necessity. But brodifacoum abused by the public is an absolute disaster for mainland ecosystems. These are two thoughts opponents of island recovery can’t grasp simultaneously. Animal-rights activist Maggie Sergio proves the old saw that one concerned citizen can make a difference. She proves also that this isn’t always a good thing. Sergio has whipped the city of San Francisco, the California Coastal Commission and the public to a froth of fear and loathing. Her online petition against the project has 39,000 signatures. Sergio’s screeds in the Huffington Post and elsewhere include such fiction as: “1.3 metric tons of brodifacoum” will be dropped by helicopter. There isn’t enough brodifacoum in the world to drop 1.3 metric tons; 1.54 ounces would be dropped, this to be mixed with 1.3 metric tons of grain. And: “The pesticide label for ‘Brodifacoum 25’ indicates that up to 24 pounds per acre will be applied.” No, “Brodifacoum 25” contains 25 parts brodifacoum per million parts grain. These and other untruths are recycled by the media, the Coastal Commission, the city, WildCare and the Ocean Foundation. One might suppose that the foundation would defend ocean mammals and rare ocean birds. Instead it frets about imagined cruelty to mice and possible by-kill of super-abundant western gulls. The Fish and Wildlife Service doesn’t need permission from state bureaucrats to manage wildlife belonging to all Americans. But scolded by the Coastal Commission, it’s re-revising plans it has revised and re-revised for 17 years. Zach Warnow of Point Blue Conservation Science retains hope: “I don’t think we’ll win over opponents; but we’ll get this message to the undecideds: We’re in a time when people are doubting scientists, and we need to get back to trusting the scientific process that’s been so well represented in this project.” The service will again plead its case to the Coastal Commission at a hearing tentatively scheduled for May. Comments should be sent to: farallonislands@coastal.ca.gov Ted Williams is a contributor to Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, a nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West. He writes about wildlife for national publications.

Guest Opinion

To heal our country we need to ignore differences, unite hearts “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart...” Paul’s letter to the Galatians 6:9 In 46-and-a-half years of marriage, this quote has encouraged me, resurfacing on my refrigerator time and time again, yellowed and mellowed by age. We’ve just endured 2020 ... a shadow year, hovering around us. With the advent of the vaccine we have optimism. The heartache of loved ones dying is still real, but there is hope. To quote another famous Paul, i.e., Paul McCartney ... we need “hope and deliverance from the darkness that surrounds us ...” Where do we go from here? Surrounded by the weight of the pandemic, our country seemingly caught in the throes of another “un”civil war, we can only look within ourselves for hope. We have to acknowledge that we always have a choice. We can rise above the pettiness that continues to blame “the other side” and instead, learn to listen to what this perceived divide causes us to do. Fear is always about focusing on differences and creating an enemy to oppose. True freedom lies in looking within the barriers that we raise

between us for protection. We need to listen to the reasons beneath the barriers to discover the issues we all have in common. We all seek to be safe and to be loved. When we were born we received a tender heart. If we were lucky, our parents were loved. They gave us the security we needed to become adults with tender hearts who could reach out into the world to make it a better place. But many people were not given this security blanket of love. They plunge into a world where they expect ambushes on every side. If we don’t see the love that connects us all -- then we see only separateness and division. Our country has been taken hostage by the illusion of fear and hate. It is up to us to choose to act out of a place that seeks to overlook this fear and to create an atmosphere where we believe we can work together. We need to look inside “the other side” to their tender hearts which are tangled in the net of dark lies that say “Fight!” instead of “Look to the light that connects us all.” The dynamics of power are changing, but change happens slowly. It always happens with a struggle. Some articles have reported that

the countries that have been faring better in the pandemic, are run by women. Much of the imagined fear flowing from the mob that assaulted our Capitol was male anger at the impotence of their loss of control. It is time to turn to a balance of shared power-equally between women and men. Our leadership style is not working and must evolve. It is time to look at everyone as a flame of light-either sputtering in anger at the world or burning brightly with hope. One group that is expressing this view is https:// reunitedstates (Google the video:THE REUNITED STATES). This group made a movie based on the book,THE REUNITED STATES OF AMERICA: HOW WE CAN BRIDGE THE PARTISAN DIVIDE, by Mark Gerzon. If we want to choose to heal our country, we need to be able to ignore our perceived differences and look to our united strengths. Look inside for your tender heart. Then open your eyes to the wounded hearts on “the other side.” Remember that everyone has a tender heart buried deep inside them. Let us unite our hearts and walk into the emerging light around us. Nancy McClelland Brookings

Time to rise

Our culture is being stolen in broad daylight. Our democracies are being replaced by totalitarian rule. Our streets are being turned in to police states. Our future is being dictated by power crazed devils. We have been made to cower. Through fear, we’re being turned in to cowards. We must, while there are still some among us to take a stand, resist what is being dictated as the new norm that we must accept. We must see, those of us who do see the calling to rise, say no to oppression, stand by what we know is the truth no matter what version of the truth we are having shoved down our throats. The time has come for us to say, you are NOT going to take away our dignity, you are not going to enslave us, we will not accept this world that you insist on creating for us. We will not let this happen. Avery Freauxbischer Brookings

Follow guidelines so we can get Oregon opened back up

Letters to the Editor

There is a great urgency to respond to the current ruling class grab for power and seizure of our most sacred and precious rights, once protected by the U.S. Constitution. We are being asked, it is being demanded of us to accept new norms. We are being told that there is a new normal and that the old normal that we lived in until early last year may now be gone forever. We are being told that we must make great sacrifices, that if we don’t, we may never again live in the world as we did before the pandemic started. We are being told that it is our responsibility to obey and that if we are not faithfully and unquestioningly obedient, that many will suffer and die and their blood will be on our hands. We are being herded like sheep, watching as our freedoms are being lifted from us, neutered like farm animals.

My friend David Brock Smith makes a pressing and important point regarding the hospitality workers and businesses across Oregon. The COVID-19 pandemic has decimated the income for hospitality workers, businesses and business owners — along with revenue received by Oregon’s state, county and municipal governments. Federal funding for the state has also been scarce. But David is late and behind the curve, sounding a bit irrelevant. As of this Friday, Feb. 26, according to the Oregon Restaurant and Lodging Association, indoor dining in 31 or Oregon’s 36 counties will be open although some 50,000 jobs have been lost. Mask up, social distance, get vaccinated. Help Oregon get back on its feet. John Roorbach Port Orford

Man arrested on heroin charges A Curry County man is behind bars after being caught Tuesday with three ounces of heroin, a large amount of cash and a firearm. Curry County Sheriff John Ward said deputies were called to the Beachfront Inn at 11:19 p.m. Tuesday after someone called 911 reporting a suspicious man in the lobby carrying a firearm.

Deputy Josh Teter responded to the Beachfront Inn and recognized Timothy J. Lycett Jr., from previous contacts. From outside, Teter could see a firearm in Lycett’s back pocket. Teter approached Lycett and put him in custody on a charge of a felon in possession of a weapon. While searching Lycett, Teter located three ounced of suspected heroin and $2,632

in cash. The suspected heroin has a street value of around $5,000. Lycett was transported to the Curry County Jail, where he is being held on unlawful possession of heroin, unlawful distribution of heroin and felon in possession of a weapon charges. The Curry County Sheriff’s Office is continuing the investigation

said. “There have been no other revenue sources that have come before the board. Everybody pays on this, but you only pay based on what you consume.” David Barnes spoke about the idea, saying voters have already had a say. He said he was part of a committee that looked at the idea previously. “That’s an awful lot of money coming from people who are already at the bottom of the spectrum,” Barnes said. “The voters have already spoken. They told you no. I don’t know how you’re going to change the mind of 4,000 voters. This is your tax, Court. If you really want it, you need to do the hard work. You have a long way to go before you spend the money.” Boice said he mostly agreed. “We’re not in disagree-

ment. We have a long way to go,” Boice said. “If it’s a 12-step plan, we might be on step three.” Summer Matteson, the county’s economic development director, also spoke out, suggesting the county would be better off if it included the cities in the proposal. She said if the cities also got some financial help, it could convince voters. “I think it would be a good-faith effort to include your cities and would give your voters peace of mind,” Matteson said. While Boice said he did not have the time to lead the effort, Curry County Counsel John Huttl suggested the board ask city staff to do the groundwork. Huttl suggested the economic development department could put together a plan it could bring back to commissioners. The commissioners agreed, moving the possibility of a consumption tax a step closer to reality. “Serving the citizens and coming up with additional revenue is not something we can overlook any further,” Boice said.

“I’ve done some traveling and a lot of people in Curry County have done traveling,” Paasch said. “Curry County is the only place I’ve been where you’re not hit with little taxes. I don’t think it will be a shock to any traveler.” The question, Paasch said, is whether the local residents would support it. Boice said he has brought up the issue five or six times since he joined the board. In most cases, it was rejected out of hand. A vote on a sales tax a few years ago was also soundly defeated. “Part of the reason I haven’t spent more time on this is because it’s been turned down so many times without even having a review,” Boice

MAN’S BISEXUAL PAST GNAWS AT WOMAN’S SENSE OF TRUST DEAR ABBY: I am a 49-year-old woman who has been in a romantic relationship with a good, caring man for two years. We live together, and he shows me all the time how much he loves me. We have amazing chemistry and are very affectionate. We enjoy spending time together, especially outdoors. When we first started dating, he told me he was bisexual and had had relationships with men. He insists I am his true love and he is with only me now. He has never shown signs of straying, but sometimes I get insecure and wonder if I should take him at his word that he only wants me. Should I trust him? — WANTS TO BE SURE IN RHODE ISLAND

DEAR WANTS: This man has been upfront with you. Because someone finds members of both genders attractive does not mean the person is incapable of monogamy. During the last two years, he has given you no reason to believe he is untrustworthy, so take steps to deal with your insecurity and take him at his word. *** DEAR ABBY: My son and daughter-in-law — the parents of three

minor children — were divorced in 2019. Prior to their divorce, the ex-DIL got pregnant by another man. She has since had a little girl. My dilemma is, do I include the new little girl when they come to visit Grandma? She is still my grandchildren’s half-sister. As they get older and come to visit me, I would feel bad leaving her out of events. My son is livid that I would even consider including her. Her other grandparents refuse to have anything to do with her. How do I deal with this? — DILEMMA IN THE MIDWEST DEAR DILEMMA: You have a loving heart. I assume all the children live together with their mother. To exclude their half-sister would be logistically difficult and cruel to a child who is blameless. Your son may not like the situation, but it is

time for him to grow up and face reality. You are the only grandmother that child has ever known, so remain calm, assert your right to self-determination and refuse to allow yourself to be bullied or intimidated. *** DEAR ABBY: Unfortunately, I am not in the same income bracket as my family and some of my friends. Also, I married a guy who doesn’t like to socialize because he’s a recovering alcoholic, and he also has hearing problems. Family and friends rarely ask us to join them when they go out, but they never fail to call and tell me all about the great time they had and where they plan to go next. It hurts, and I resent them for it. I want to be happy for them and not feel the way I do. Help! — DIFFERENT IN NEW YORK DEAR DIFFERENT: Your hus-

band may have hearing problems, but your relatives appear to be tone deaf in the sensitivity department. What they are doing is cruel. Rather than compare your life to that of friends and relatives who have more freedom to socialize than you and your husband do, it would be more constructive to figure out what you CAN do. Socialize either with others or by yourselves in places that don’t serve alcohol and aren’t overly noisy. Ask your relatives to join you there — and put the ball in their court.

Football season starts Friday Bruins top Coquille in soccer opener with game at Cascade Christian THE PILOT Brookings-Harbor’s football team begins its season Friday with a game at Cascade Christian, after months of uncertainty since the entire sports year was pushed back by the Oregon School Activities Association. “I’m really happy for the kids to get the opportunity to play this school year,” coach Shaun Bavaro said. “It’s been a long time. I’m just happy for the seniors to be able to put the helmet on one more time.” It’s certainly not like a regular season, and not just because it is in the spring. The schedule only includes five games. And there is a lot more attention to detail for health reasons. “We have a lot of safety protocols that we have to do for COVID,” Bavaro said. “But we’re willing to do it for the kids to be able to play. “Nothing about this year has been the norm. We will do our best and always, the safety of our kids is the football program’s No. 1 priority.” The school is still getting used to work out details of spectators in the stadium and mask wearing by the players. “We started last September on just trying to get kids some kind of season,” Bavaro said. “We will continue to work for our fans and kids.” Bavaro said the players have adjusted well to all the

changes, including using multiple resources and areas for practice. “The coaches have done a nice job of being organized and keeping the kids engaged at practice,” he said. “We’re excited to see some of the changes of schemes as we go forward in the year.” Logan Holler will start at quarterback while some of the seniors switched positions to help the Bruins be more competitive. Andrew Burger will anchor the line, joined by Oggie Badger, Derek Tuttle, Ralphie Cavazos and the only returning starter up front, Brad Russell. The team will use running back by committee, with Bradly Conduracki, Gavin Mills and Kallen Christensen all bringing different styles of running and able to catch the ball out of the backfield. Jacub McCullum returns to the receiving corps in the slot. He will be joined by Jamoria Beasley and Kayson Christensen. Bavaro said Jason Deshon has a high ceiling at the other slot, ranked as one of the top junior receivers in Class 3A. Bavaro said defensive coordinator Rusty White and the defensive staff have done a good job installing the defense. Holler, an honorable mention all-state pick last year, anchors the Bruins on that side of the ball. Kyle Burger, Christensen and Eligh Newell fill out the linebacking group. Andrew Burger, Bad-

ger, Tuttle and Russell fill out the front line. Kayson Christensen and Condracki anchor the defenses backfield. After facing the Challengers this Friday, the Bruins are at Sutherlin next Friday, then host St. Mary’s on March 19. On March 27 they return to Sutherlin to face Douglas and then they host South Umpqua on April 3. “We’re excited for game week finally to start,” Bavaro said. “Always had our fingers crossed we would get to play this school year. “I’m excited about our young group of freshmen and sophomores. They have heart and have worked really hard and some of them are working toward getting some varsity reps this season.”
