Consolidation of fire departments being considered By KNOX KERANEN The Pilot

In the wake of an active fire season in Oregon, a grassroots group is calling for the consolidation of the Central Curry County fire departments. Under the proposal, five fire departments in Central Curry County: Gold Beach, Ophir, Cedar Valley, Agness and Pistol River would be consolidated to just one department, which would be headed from Gold Beach, however, those areas would maintain their stations. The proposal was brought before the board of commissioners at a workshop meeting last Wednesday. Tyson Krieger, fire chief of the Gold Beach Fire Department, spoke on behalf of the proposal. He said there would be many advantages to a consolidation, including the pooling of equipment and funds under one department. “If we are able to get together and pool our resources, and put the parts and pieces where they need to be, use the finances where they need to be, we

are going to be a lot better off and better able to serve our community,” said Krieger. Additionally, a consolidation would mean increased odds for federal funding in the form of grants, said Krieger. Those grant applications determine a fire district’s needs based on its population, number of structures and square mileage. Extra funding is important, especially when each set of a fire coat and pants costs between $2,800 and 3,500, plus the cost of fire hoses, nozzles, engine upkeep and more. Kreiger added that many of the departments in the remote areas of the county are currently hard up for resources. Court Boice, chairman of the board of commissioners, said he would back the move to consolidate, but ultimately the decision would be left to the voters. “I really picked up to how this can save money. I think that’s going to be one of the biggest tasks, to let the public know how this can really be a savings. Anytime you have savings, then you are

operating more efficiently,” said Boice. Vice Chair John Herzog and Commissioner Chris Paasch said they were also in favor of the move. However, County Clerk Renee Kolen said she was concerned about a large consolidation like this being able to meet necessary county deadlines in order for it to be on the ballot in the upcoming November election. Paasch responded to Kolen’s concern. “We haven’t come up with any dates on when it should be on a ballot or anything. This is just to start a conversation,” he said. “Let chief Krieger and any of the other chiefs in the county know I want to do all I can, if there’s something I can do from my office to help push this along...let me know and I will do it.” Now, the consolidation will be discussed with fire chiefs at the other departments in Central Curry, who would become battalion chiefs if the proposal was adopted. Krieger said he did not know whether there would be push back from the other departments.

Restaurants react to closing again Curry’s

case trend slowing

By KNOX KERANEN The Pilot

Local restaurants are hunkering down for another temporary COVID ban on dine-in service after Curry County was moved to the “extreme risk” category by the Oregon Health Authority last Friday. After two weeks, the county’s risk level will be re-assessed, and the ban could be lifted, but only if the case total during the two-week period is less than 60, and test positivity rates stay below 10%. Until then, restaurant owners like Flo Lira, who runs La Flor De Mexico in Brookings, will be restricted to take-out only. “The people that come in and dine-in, they don’t really respond the same way when it comes to togo,” Flo Lira said through her son and translator, Carlos Lira. “They’d rather just dine-in, and when they see that there’s no dine-in, they just walk away.” Carlos Lira works as a server at his mom’s restaurant. He said restaurants with drive-thrus fare better during the dine-in closures because they are quicker and more convenient than La Flor De Mexico, which has focused on serving authentic Mexican cuisine since Flo Lira opened it in 2000. “We’ve been told that our food isn’t as to-go friendly because it’s in containers and not as easily accessible as a brown paper bag,” said Carlos Lira. Kylie Krebs, owner of Black Trumpet Bistro, echoed Lira’s concerns about take-out. She said while the volume of to-go lunch orders during the bans has remained steady, fine dining and take-out just don’t mix. “Who really wants to have a cioppino to-go, or a filet mignon togo? Not many people,” said Krebs. Despite following all of the COVID guidelines, including social distancing, increased sanitation and enforcing mask requirements for

To Krebs, this seems inequitable. “It makes no sense to me,” said Krebs. “Someone can go into a grocery store, and touch all the groceries, and put their hands on all the carts, and then walk out and call it a day, but yet you can’t go to a restaurant that is strict about their rules and regulations.” Krebs said the restaurant’s income was cut in half last year by COVID. Additionally, she has been forced to cut her employees’ hours More Closing, Page A3

Lehman takes on regional housing role ZACK DEMARS The Pilot

A new effort is in the works on the South Coast to coordinate housing efforts across the region. Mike Lehman, who led Oregon Coast Community Action for seven years, has been tasked by local agencies to establish an advisory group to bring together local governments, nonprofits and businesses to respond to a lack of housing from Reedsport to Brookings. “Our goal is to get a commission formed and parameters of how that works, and get people on that commission,” Lehman said. The plan responds to a housing studies conducted in Coos and Curry counties around 2018. One of the key takeaways from both studies:

The region needs more housing, and the community needs to come together to make that happen. Through a series of grants, NeighborWorks Umpqua is sponsoring the effort, with the help of Coos and Curry counties and the city of Reedsport. Together, Lehman said the region shares a lot of similar needs. “The coast has some unique properties,” Lehman said. Regionally the economy — and, by extension, the housing market — has struggled to recover from economic declines in the 1980s and the late 2000s. More often than in other areas, Lehman said people across the region can only afford to grow old in their homes, meaning they keep living in the homes they raised their families in as they age instead of moving to a smaller place.

That means their homes stay off the market for other families, and the aging owners have more difficulties taking keeping their homes in good condition. “We’ve also lost a lot of our housing construction folks,” Lehman said, adding that coastal terrain and climate can make building more challenging, too. Lehman, a former state representative who retired from ORCCA last year after leading the organization out of years of controversy, said his time with the nonprofit gave him experience with both sides of the region’s housing crisis. On one hand, his organization worked to help people who couldn’t afford housing. On the other hand, he’d often have qualified candidates for jobs at the nonprofit turn down More Housing, Page A3

Curry County could move out of the extreme-risk level of state virus restrictions during the next level reassignment — if current case trends continue. The county reported a slight decline in cases last week from the week before, though it also reported a slight uptick in test positivity in the same March 14 through 27 timeframe. Still, the current rate of virus spread in the community is still one of the worst in the state: The county’s test positivity rate is tied with Coos County for being the state’s highest during the timeframe, and its per-person case count is the fourth highest of the state’s 36 counties. The figures put the county on the edge of changing restrictions: The state will announce new restriction levels Tuesday, which will take affect Friday. A two-week case count below 60 and a positivity rate below 10% would open the county back to the high-risk level, with indoor dining reopened, while anything above that would keep those businesses closed. For the two weeks ending March 27, the county saw 54 new cases of the virus, and a test positivity of 7.6%. According to County Public Health Administrator Sherrié Ward, 17 new cases of the virus were reported in the county between March 23 and 29. That includes 11 from south Curry County and six from central Curry County. The new cases — as most others have been — are related to large families, schools and work places, Ward said in a news release Monday. Vaccinations are also continuing in Curry County. By Tuesday, just over 6,300 residents had received a COVID-19 vaccine, giving the county the 13th highest per-person vaccination rate in the state. A large share of those have come from Curry Health Network, which is vaccinating county residents at weekly events and is increasing the number of doses it administers as it receives greater supply. As of April 5, the group able to get vaccines will again expand in Oregon to include frontline workers, those in multigenerational households and those 16 and older with certain underlying health conditions — as well as those over More COVID, Page A3

offers because they couldn’t find affordable housing in the area. “It cuts to the very core of the community,” Lehman said. “We can’t grow as a community when we can’t bring in folks to the community.” In some ways, the problem is a double-edged sword: It can be hard to expand housing without economic development, but it can be hard to see economic development without adequate housing. “It stymies both ends of the equation,” Lehman said. A concerted effort to address the region’s shortage will speed up the process, Lehman and other local leaders hope. Lehman’s been a part of

the regional housing conversation for years, making it a topic he was excited to come out of retirement for. “Part of it feels like I’m completing something,” Lehman said. “It felt like something I was completing, rather than something I’m starting over on.” He’s looking to Tillamook County as a possible example of how the process could work. There, in 2019, county leaders set up a housing commission to examine that region’s housing crisis. Since then, the Tillamook County group has met monthly, bringing nonprofit, government and business leaders together to collaborate on the topic, and has developed a lengthy to-do list of policy, outreach and financing projects. Lehman said the South Coast commission won’t be

actively building housing or directly financing projects, but will be advising local leaders on what policy steps they could take to attract housing developers. “You try to streamline some of the building processes to make it easier for developers to come in and build,” Lehman said. “We have to make it attractive for contractors and developers to make it work.” The effort’s in its earliest stages, but Lehman said some of those strategies could include incorporated cities promoting higher-density neighborhoods or promoting the construction of tiny homes on single-family lots. “There’s no magic pill. It’s probably a variety of responses,” Lehman said. His role with the commission will be limited: He’s planning to stick around only

Guest Opinion Vaccination is the ticket to getting the U.S. back on track By Carlos del Rio, M.D. The end of the pandemic in the U.S. is in sight. The COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States have proven to be outstandingly effective at protecting recipients from coronavirus and they are also safe. These vaccines - and the potential of others on the way - have the power to lift us out of the depths of this pandemic and put us on the path forward to rebuilding from COVID-19’s devastating economic, social and psychological impacts. Put simply, getting America vaccinated is our ticket to halting the death toll and significantly slowing the spread of the virus. The vaccines are our ticket forward - this is the message that needs to be shouted from the roof tops right now. While public confidence in the vaccines, and access to them, continues to grow, many Americans - especially Black and Hispanic adults and those living in rural areas - remain hesitant about getting the shot. In redoubling efforts to dispel fears about COVID-19 vaccines, the message that needs to be conveyed across the board is that these breakthroughs will not only stamp out the virus, but also end much of the growing collateral damage due to the pandemic. We know that these are very safe vaccines. Out of the first 1.9 million Pfizer vaccine recipients, only 21 people experienced severe reactions. That’s 0.00001 percent. We also know that the vaccines have demonstrated successful results. In a Moderna trial of 30,000 volunteers, half received the vaccine and the other half a placebo. In the placebo group, 185 came down with COVID-19, whereas in the vaccinated group, only 11 did, and all those cases were mild. That translates into an efficacy rate of 94.1 percent. Even more importantly, the data shows that the Moderna vaccine is

100 percent effective in preventing severe COVID-19 infections. The data from Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson is remarkably similar. Skeptics say the vaccines were developed too quickly to be effective, that they’ll cause worse side effects than the coronavirus itself or that they won’t prevent person-to-person spread. The medical community knows that the first two of those statements are wrong, and the third, while very unlikely, has also been proven wrong in clinical trials where even when the virus was contracted the cases were notably mild. Underselling the vaccine and fostering skepticism has very real consequences - especially for the vulnerable communities who have already been most hard hit. Even before COVID-19, our health care system was fraught with millions across America living with one or more chronic conditions. People with chronic illnesses are six times more likely to be hospitalized and 12 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than people with no chronic conditions. We also know that this pandemic disproportionately impacts persons of color. According to the CDC, Black and Hispanic people are about four times more likely to be hospitalized and almost three times more likely to die from COVID-19 than whites. With awareness of these impacts must also come awareness of the path forward that the available vaccines provide us. This awareness is simple: Get vaccinated as soon as you are eligible.

Dr. del Rio also serves on the Board of Directors for the Infectious Diseases Society of America.

Guest Opinion

An isolated area gets the vaccine job done By Dave Marston Southwestern Colorado is used to spending winters partially isolated from the rest of Colorado, thanks to treacherous mountain passes that hem communities in when bad weather strikes. That may explain the spirit of can-do volunteerism that drove the county’s early COVID-19 vaccine efforts. Nurse practitioner Karen Zink took on the push for organizing with a Dec. 30 call to San Juan Basin Public Health director Liane Jollon, who gave Zink permission to start planning. “We were out of the gate in 18 days, with first vaccinations January 18,” says Zink. Their base was the La Plata County Fairgrounds, which Zink credits with being a trusted place, not clinical or political. Basin Health, which oversees Archuleta and La Plata counties, has since taken over, but Zink’s team pushed the region into the lead statewide, at one point vaccinating 254 people an hour. Now the proof is in the numbers: 70 percent of seniors over 70 are vaccinated in La Plata County alone. Why was the county so successful? One answer can be found in the Latinx community. La Plata County is smothered by federal immigration employees, with more working in the Four Corners area than in any other region in the state. “That consistent threat forced us to organize,” says Enrique Orozco, lead community advocate for Compañeros Immigrant Resource Center, a nonprofit based in Durango. “When the chance for mass vaccination came, we had the beginnings of a network to get the word out if vaccines became available.” But challenges were everywhere: Few people had access to computers, many had a deep-seated fear of any governmental authority and the population was widely dispersed. But Orozco had a superb organizer in Beatriz Garcia, program manager at Compañeros who distributes

Dave Marston food on Fridays from Compañeros’ office. Orozco says the network she grew to distribute food was perfect for developing a get-the-vaccine chain. Orozco credits early vaccine recipients for helping to counter COVID vaccination fears. They went out in the community, explaining that the side effects were mild and ensuring that “Latinx vaccine sites (run by Basin Heath) had no police presence and brown Spanish-speaking people were on site for comfort,” says Orozco. The last 12 months have been painful and sometimes desperate for the people in his community, says Orozco. There were no three rounds of stimulus checks or extended unemployment help: “If you’re undocumented, and you don’t work, you don’t eat.” Zink, whose family has ranched the area for several generations and who is founder and co-owner of Southwest Women’s Health Associates, was key to the two counties’ success. Her fast start was spurred by a Durango Herald article, which ultimately led to 400 volunteers signing up, all of whom had to be certified as health workers via the nationwide Medical Reserve Corps. “I think people were tired of being cooped up,” Zink says. The big volunteer base meant Zink’s team fielded 15 separate

vaccination teams, each with intake personnel, post-shot caregivers and even traffic directors. Combined with other vaccination teams, this gave Executive Director Liane Jollon confidence to tell Gov. Jared Polis that the Durango community could take every shot he could spare when 40,000 doses landed in Denver. The two small counties, including the indigenous community of the Southern Ute Nation, were ready when 4,000 of those doses — 10% of the state’s total — arrived. The Anglo community helped by calling at-risk residents. A crucial link between Zink and the Latinx community was Anne Markward, who handled technology for the effort with her husband Doug. She had a Zoom meeting with Orozco about getting his list of recipients together. At the time, state guidelines mandated only elderly and folks with impaired health, but once they were vaccinated, the excess went to the Latinx community and other service workers. With everyone working together, every dose found an arm. La Plata and Archuleta counties now brag they have one of the highest rates of COVID-19 vaccination in the state, and this is crucial for an economy that depends on tourism for one-third of its economic activity. No one should forget, says vaccine volunteer Jessica Wheeler, that “our economy could not survive without the Latinx community. Whether it’s skilled labor, housekeeping, maintenance or kitchen staff, they support us all.” Orozco has another group to thank. He credits public health officials for making sure people get protected: “They don’t ask for your age or your job and are doing it on trust.” Dave Marston is the publisher of Writers on the Range, writersontherange.org, an independent nonprofit dedicated to spurring lively conversation about the West.

Long-haul COVID The last five weeks (February 17-March 24), we’ve had 150 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Curry County or 4.3 a day. That’s 28% of the total number of cases since we started recording cases. As of last week, Curry County joins Coos County as the only two counties that are in the Extreme Risk category for at least two more weeks. There goes in-restaurant dining. A few of things that can help open the restaurants, theaters and gyms again is (1) to wear a mask that stays over your nose without touching it, (2) get vaccinated and (3) learn about the elephant in the room, “Long-Haul COVID.” (V)

(See https://bit.ly/3roGe1I) On March 1, the Harvard Medical School published a report that discussed Long-COVID or Long-Haulers which indicated that 50% to 80% of all patients who tested positive for COVID (522) will continue to have bothersome symptoms three months after the onset of COVID — even after tests no longer detect virus in your body. But they still have body aches, little energy, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating, headaches or difficulty sleeping. Their brain feels like it’s in a fog. The doctor suggests that maybe the experience of being ill with COVID-19 has left them a little depressed or experiencing a little PTSD. Maybe some psychiatric treatment would help, since there’s nothing wrong with their physically. They try the treatment, and it doesn’t help. Most likely they have long-haul COVID. What you could do is check in with your friends who have tested positive to see how they are doing. They may not realize they might be long-haulers.

Gordon Clay Brookings

More than just a sign A few years ago, I wrote a letter to the editor that seemed too resonant with a few (however few) people. It was about an experience with three young people responding to a sign: “In This House We Believe….” Well, as much as

things have changed (for the better) many things have not changed, and perhaps since so many want to “blame” someone for the world we inhabit these days, have gotten worse. Three young men, high school age, were riding by the other day and I heard them use a curse word about my sign. An attitude I can only imagine comes from the hate-filled rhetoric from many that harbor prejudice, misogyny and fear. If you listen to far-right media, it is full of fear, replacement fear, unfounded fear. The only thing that might be founded is a fear of being treated just like we have treated others. There is plenty of that fear to go around, none of us are free of it. It is how you target that. In that earlier letter, I had related what I experienced when I avoided the draft by enlisting in the Air Force. The military has a certain way - 30 of us rural Eastern Oregon kids were matched with 30 kids from Harlem. I have never seen the world the same since. It hurts when I see kids today that will never change their view because they will not, or cannot, get away for even a short time. Meet new people, experience new things, quit thinking that just because someone has a view not the same as yours that they deserve to have their property destroyed. Next time stop by, talk to us, explain why the sign is bad and not a sign that welcomes. Ben Boorman Brookings

ATTN: ROBERT CULLEN P.O. 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.

Group proposes recreation center near Bud Cross Park By KNOX KERANEN The Pilot

A grassroots group is trying to garner support to build a community recreation center in Bud Cross Park, as well as form a south county parks and recreation district. The proposed two-story recreation center would be built around the existing pool at Bud Cross. The first floor would include a gymnasium, a community exercise room, a child care center, a reception area, locker rooms, a great hall and the pool. The second floor would house an elevated walking track and a wellness center equipped with lifting weights and exercise machines, as well as the building’s mechanical rooms. The drawings of the proposed building features walls of windows and a sleek, angled roof. Jay Trost, deputy director of public works and development service for the city of Brookings, presented the dual-faceted proposal to the Curry County Board of Commissioners during a workshop meeting last Wednesday. He said the recreation center would be a tremendous asset to the entire county. “This is a legacy project, this is something that would be here to stay, to stand and provide important access to

so many different citizens from young to elevated in age,” said Trost. The proposal also included the formation of a south county parks and recreation district, which would be bounded by Pistol River to the north and the county line to the south. Dr. Juliane Leighton said the formation of a parks and recreation district would help the organization of athletics, activities and events. “We have lots of parks. What we really need in the community are recreation programs and recreation facilities,” said Leighton. “We just don’t have in our community a centralized service where you know what’s happening.” Court Boice, chair of the board of commissioners, backed the proposal. Vice Chair John Herzog, who was a lifeguard at the municipal pool when it first opened in the early ’70s, followed suit. “I am a huge proponent of this...I know it’s a tough sell because special districts is a bad word around, but I’m in favor of getting the special district and letting the voters decide ‘yay’ or ‘nay’,” said Herzog. “We have a pool that is open three months a year... maybe four if we beg borrow and steal, and it’s just sad.” Herzog was alluding to how the construction of a

community center would get its primary funding through the formation of a special district tax, which would be put to the voters. If approved, a bond would be issued for the construction costs. The recreation center could be maintained through user fees, donations and grants, said Leighton. However, a permanent tax rate would be required to sustain the proposed south county parks and recreation district, and Courtesy rendering a feasibiliAn artist’s rendering gives an example of what a community recreation center being proposed near Bud ty study is Cross Park might look like. ongoing to determine the it would be reexamined.

Building a digital defense against a new kind of grandparent scam Here’s how it works: grandparents receive a call from one of their “grandchildren.” The grandchild’s voice may not sound right, but the grandchild explains this is due to COVID-19 or some other illness such as strep throat.

The grandchild explains he or she is in legal trouble and needs some money to get bailed out of jail. When the grandparent agrees to provide funds, the grandchild also mentions there is a “gag order” in this case, and the grandparent shouldn’t

discuss this with anyone. So far – this is a typical kind of elder fraud case that we’ve seen before. In the past, there was a heavy emphasis on payment by pre-paid gift cards or wire transfers. But, here’s the new twist: the fraud-

sters are demanding cash, which they want picked up in person. A supposed “bail bondsman” shows up at the victim’s home, increasing the potential physical risk to the victim. He reminds the grandparents of the gag order and to not talk about the case.

After the initial payment, the grandparents will receive calls for additional money to be sent via U.S. Mail, FedEx, UPS or other such service. Here’s how to protect yourself and your family: • Don’t respond to demands for immediate action. The scammers will use fear to manipulate you, trying to get you to act without thinking. • If you receive an unexpected call such as this, check first with your family members first to see if the story is true. • Don’t open door for strangers, and don’t believe someone who tells you can’t report something to law enforcement. If you or a family member has been contacted by

Tenant COVID protection bill crosses first hurdle with bipartisan vote The COVID Tenant Protection bill passed the Senate Housing and Development Committee Tuesday by a bipartisan vote after a workgroup led by Sen. Kayse Jama reached agreement on the policy. SB 282 will provide protections for renters facing COVID-era financial challenges after the eviction moratorium ends June 30, and give renters certainty that they will have more time to make up any back rent owed. “Dozens of tenants like me testified in favor of this bill and the senators listened. Now we need the full Senate to pass the bill without

delay,” says Erin Meechan of Gresham. She is among the 11-15% of renters who are behind on their rent, owing her landlord about $2,500. She has filed a hardship declaration form and is waiting to hear if the landlord compensation fund will come through. Oregon renters desperately need them to step up now and extend the grace period for repayment while the state and federal housing assistance gets distributed.” After the eviction moratorium ends on June 30, SB 282 would: • Extend the repayment grace period for back-due

rent to February 28, 2022 and continue temporarily an extended non-payment termination notice. While renters must make timely payment of current rent after July 1, this will give renters extra time to access rent assistance funds or earn income to get caught up on back-due rent from the moratorium period. • Protect tenants’ ability to rent in the future. o Prohibit potential landlords from screening out applicants based on COVID-era evictions and allow sealing of evictions during COVID from a tenant’s record. o Prohibit credit history

reports on any late payments during the moratorium and prohibit landlords from screening out tenants based on nonpayment during the eviction moratorium and grace period. • Protect the right to share resources in a crisis. Prohibit eviction for doubling-up/ occupancy limits imposed by landlords that are narrower than current law, during the COVID period when people have had to share housing due to the pandemic. • Protect against landlord retaliation. Extend HB 4401’s increased damages provision for retaliation violations during the COVID era.

Wyden introduces legislation to lower mandatory drug sentences U.S. Senator Ron Wyden said Monday he has introduced bipartisan legislation that would modernize federal drug sentencing polices by lowering certain mandatory drug sentences. “In too many cases, mandatory minimum sentences have imprisoned people for far longer than is just,” Wyden said. “This legislation takes a critical step

toward dismantling the enormous costs of over incarceration for nonviolent drug crimes for both communities and taxpayers, when those resources would be put to better use through effective strategies like crime prevention and prisoner reentry programs.” The Smarter Sentencing Act gives federal judges the authority to conduct

individualized reviews to determine the appropriate sentences for certain nonviolent drug offenses. The central remaining sentencing reform iwould reduce mandatory minimum penalties for certain nonviolent drug offenses. The CBO estimated that implementation of this provision would save taxpayers approximately $3 billion.

MOVING BACK HOME COMES WITH QUESTIONS OF PRIVACY DEAR ABBY: At the age of 30, I recently had to move back with my parents. I am not the tidiest person in the world, but I thrive on the saying, “Dust, not dirt.” I recently went on vacation. I knew my room was a little messier than I’d like, but I also knew I’d return from vacation ready to tackle the pile of laundry and sweep and mop the floor. Lo and behold, when I walked into my room, it was clean and organized! Abby, I felt my privacy had been invaded. I was embarrassed and ashamed, but also hurt because my parents had trespassed beyond my closed door. I feel betrayed and like my personal privacy was undermined. What should I do? -- INVADED

SPACE DEAR INVADED: I’m glad you asked. I think you should get over it, and fast. I assume you are staying rent-free in your parents’ home. You are no longer a teenager, and nobody trespassed. While you are under their roof, make an extra effort to keep the room you occupy free from dust and a pile of dirty laundry. If you act like a gracious guest instead of a spoiled child, there will be no reason to feel embarrassed or ashamed.

DEAR ABBY: I’m married and the mother of two kids, ages 5 and 7. My husband is a very involved father and partner in our marriage. My complaint is that he’s too trusting of other people and doesn’t keep an eye on the kids in public places. An example: He’ll take them to the grocery store and let them hang out in the toy department while he’s getting groceries. They will be 100 yards away from each other. I have told him several times that I’m not comfortable with this, yet he continues to do it. I’m not sure what to do about it anymore. Have you any suggestions? -- NERVOUS IN NEBRASKA DEAR NERVOUS: Yes. Because your husband can’t be trusted to watch the children when they accompany him shopping, talk to the kids and impress upon them

the importance of staying close to their father. However, if this doesn’t work, then YOU will have to take over the errands until the children are older. DEAR ABBY: I’m 60 and was a stay-at-home mom for 20 years. I have an associate degree in the field that I just got a job in. My problem is, at this age, I’m a little slower at learning new things. My supervisor was willing to help me for the first week, but now she seems to have lost patience with me. I have been here barely two weeks, and she made a comment that made me feel terrible. She was trying to teach me a filing system, and I was having a hard time understanding it. She said in front of the entire office that “around here we have to use our brains.” Should I talk to her or just push through? -- A LITTLE SLOWER

DEAR SLOWER: Let it slide this time. However, if her lack of tact continues, talk to her about how her comment made you feel. And in the meantime, learn that filing system. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Several arrests made at weekend capitol protests Several people were arrested during protests at the Oregon state capitol Sunday. In a press release from the Oregon State Police, troopers said events were held by two separate groups intending to meet at the state capitol grounds. The Oregon State Police along with partner agencies the Salem Police Department and the Marion County Sheriff’s Office were actively monitoring the protests. The first event, billed as the Freedom Rally, appeared on social media streams in February. A second event appeared soon after, named Fascist Free 503, indicating a counter response to the Freedom Rally. Social media posts connected to the group indicated their intention to prevent the Freedom Rally caravan from meeting at the state capitol. The following individuals were arrested and lodged at the Marion County Correctional Facility on charges related to criminal activity during the event: • Andrew Alan Foy, age 34: Disorderly conduct in the second degree and criminal trespass in the second degree • Nathan McFarland, age 33: Disorderly conduct in the

second degree • Anthony Villaneda, age 18: Unlawful pointing of a laser, five counts • William Lloyd Isham, age 34: Interfering with Police Officer These are open criminal cases and will continue to be investigated. Anyone with information related to these incidents or any other criminal acts which took place March 28 are encouraged to contact the Salem Police Department tips line at 503-588-8477. The Oregon State Police would also like to clarify misinformation regarding the circumstances around the man who was detained after displaying a firearm. The person in the photo was the victim of extensive damage to his vehicle. When he stopped to assess the damage, he was assaulted with pepper spray. After being assaulted with pepper spray, the person pulled a handgun from his waistband to defend himself. He did not point the weapon at anyone and dropped it when ordered to do so by law enforcement. This person has a valid concealed handgun license. He was detained, interviewed and then released.

In addition to arresting several people Sunday, police at the state capitol seized weapons and other materials from protestors.

Will there be summer travel and vaccine booster shots? Oregon State University panel discusses post-COVID future ent state of the virus. Chi said some regions are still experiencing significant virus spread and mutation, while others are living life close to normal after strong lockdowns all but kept out the virus. “I would suggest, look at the destination,” Chi advises travelers. “You want to see the country you’re traveling to be relatively safe, and there’s no new variants ....”

By ZACK DEMARS The Pilot

As vaccines spread across the globe, and cities around the country thaw from under virus restrictions, one topic has been top of mind: What does a post-pandemic future look like? A panel of experts from Oregon State University took up pieces of that question Tuesday in a forum addressing questions about the next steps for getting the population vaccinated, what it might take to travel internationally this summer and what lessons we can all take away from the COVID-19 crisis.

An annual vaccine? The first round of COVID-19 shots might not be the last, according to Gaurav Sahay, an associate professor of pharmacy who’s an expert in vaccine development. Since the virus won’t be going away even when many more people are vaccinated, continued mutations could reduce the effectiveness of already existing vaccines, Sahay said. That could make it necessary to get a new shot every year, just like for the flu. “There is an assumption that perhaps this might be an annual event, because the virus will still be around,” Sahay said. “But having said that, new technologies are being built and the hope is that this would really go down. So they are working on basically doing a booster shot.” And according to Brett Tyler, who directs the university’s project to sequence and catalogue variants of the virus in Oregon, making sure populations across the globe are vaccinated could help reduce variants in the future. That’s because the more the virus spreads, the more it mutates — meaning there’s a higher likelihood it’ll mutate

Summer fun? International travel might be a possibility this summer — but it’ll be important for travelers to be vaccinated and aware of their surroundings, according to Chunhuei Chi, the director of OSU’s Center for Global Health. “Even before vaccination, there’s a component of travel that’s safe, and there’s a component of travel is not so safe,” Chi said Tuesday. According to Chi, airplane flights are actually safer than some might expect: With planes constantly filtering the air, that regular scrubbing can make them cleaner than other indoor spaces. But areas outside the plane can be more challenging: Security check areas and other common spaces in airports can promote higher risks if they’re not adequately spaced apart or cleaned regularly, Chi said. And since each country has had a different virus response, every corner of the globe faces a slightly differ-

Experts at Oregon State University said getting the vaccine is the key to returning to normal. in a way that makes it less susceptible to the vaccine. “It’s going to be very important to help countries all around the world control the virus,” Tyler said. “If we vaccinate all Americans but the virus is running unchecked elsewhere in the world, that creates the possibility of more and more variants appearing and returning back onto our shores, and this is one of the challenges that China is facing right now.”

Public health failures? Tuesday’s experts agreed: The response to COVID-19 has exposed plenty of cracks in public health systems across the country and state that can be improved before future crises. “It’s also laid bare the systemic inequities in our healthcare system — the

lack of access particularly for persons with disabilities, the lack of access for vulnerable and minority communities and special populations,” said Courtney Campbell, who’s researching the prioritization of vaccine distribution. Since some groups already have more difficulties getting access to health care — like those with lower incomes, those who aren’t as mobile or those without internet — the stress the pandemic has put on the system has made it even harder. Campbell points to vaccine distribution as an example, and how the state’s Latino population has made up a larger share of Oregon’s virus cases but a smaller share of its vaccinations. The distribution’s also shown how struggles in pub-

lic health staffing can stymie vaccination efforts, said Joseph Agor, who studies vaccine supply chains. “I can have millions or trillions of pounds of supplies, but if I don’t have the people to distribute it, then really it’s just going to create longer lines, waits and inefficiencies that really weren’t planned to be there to begin with,” Agor said. And the hesitancy among some groups to get vaccinated has shown the impact systemic healthcare challenges, according to Daniel López-Cevallos, an associate professor of ethnic studies. “It takes a consistent, thoughtful, conscious effort to reach out to those communities, so if those systems haven’t been there in the past, it makes it that much harder,” López-Cevallos said.

Or reasons to cheer? But an analysis of the public health response to the virus shouldn’t be all doom and gloom, according to Marion Ceraso, an associate professor who studies public health communication. The fact that experts have gotten effective vaccines onto the market in less than a year is something to celebrate, Ceraso said — and something that celebrating might actually encourage more people to get vaccinated. “I think as that community experience grows, the resistance to accepting the vaccine will get lower,” Ceraso said. “These vaccines are an incredible, amazing public health success story, and I think we need to share that information with the public to really fully inform them of this picture.”

Nursing assistant apprenticeship program will support nursing facilities Nursing facilities and other places of care for vulnerable community members have struggled with high staffing turnover of nursing assistants and frontline staff for decades. Long-Term CareWorks’ CNA Apprenticeship is the

first certified nursing apprenticeship program in Oregon. It was approved last week by the Oregon State Apprenticeship and Training Council. In an exciting partnership, SEIU 503 and a group of nursing facility providers worked together to set it up to train and

certify nursing assistants. It will make a positive impact for nursing facility residents and workers who support them and build a stable workforce for long-term care employers. “This apprenticeship program will give workers access to paid on-the-job training to build their skills and earning potential, while also offering long-term care providers a high-quality pool of job applicants,” says Labor Commissioner Val Hoyle. “In college, I worked as a nursing assistant in a memory care home. It is very physically demanding work and usually low paid. High turnover of qualified, experienced staff has direct impacts on the quality of care for residents, and I’m excited about how this program will

address that.” The Long-Term CareWorks’ CNA Apprenticeship will provide certified classroom instruction and paid on-the-job training. It will operate with a competency-based model, with structured mentorship and small cohorts of ten apprentices. After completing the yearlong program, each apprentice will have mastered the skills needed to be a qualified nursing assistant and meet industry standards. The program will be available to employers and employees in the long- term care industry throughout the state. Additional wraparound services will be available to support participants through childcare and transportation assistance and stipends for supplies and housing.

Patsy Richards, the Director of Long-Term CareWorks, says that the program has already paid dividends for the inaugural cohort. “Every time I talk with the apprentices in our program, I see our life-changing potential for both long-term care consumers and the workers who support them. In the next few months, Long-Term CareWorks’ CNA Apprenticeship will touch hundreds of lives throughout the state.” “In my 10 years working at nursing homes, I have seen the toll that turnover and vacancies have on our seniors and people with disabilities,” said Ron Strle, a certified nursing assistant and SEIU member in Hood River. “I’m excited that the nursing homes are working with our union to address this issue by investing in an apprentice-

ship program. By supporting staff, we can attract and retain more people, and that’s a great step forward for longterm care.” “The Long-Term CareWorks CNA Apprenticeship program will allow more Oregonians the opportunity to find meaningful careers and opportunities within long term care,” said Ryan Delamarter, vice president of Prestige Care, Inc., which operates long term care facilities in the Pacific Northwest and is a one of the nursing facility providers in the partnership. “Now more than ever, Oregon needs more CNAs and caregivers in long term care. This apprenticeship program will support our frontline workers and help in meeting the significant care needs of our aging population.”

Bill to improve water quality for tribes passes committee The U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs recently passed the Western Tribal Water Infrastructure Act, legislation introduced by U.S. Sens. Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley to improve water quality and services for tribal communities in Oregon and nationwide. “Clean drinking water is the lifeblood of communities; it’s a human right. The water crises faced by The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs and Native American Tribes nationwide demand

swift federal action to fix a disgraceful legacy of shameful neglect by the federal government,” Wyden said. “I’m glad to see the Indian Affairs Committee give this issue the attention it requires, and I hope the full Senate will advance our bill as soon as possible. No Tribe should go without clean water.” “Reliable access to clean drinking water is vital to the health and safety of any community—especially during a once-in-a-century global pandemic,” said Merkley.

“The situation on the Warm Springs Reservation is nothing short of a crisis. That’s why we’ve been pushing hard to get the Western Tribal Water Infrastructure Act onto the Senate floor as quickly as possible, and why I’ll continue to do all that I can to work alongside tribal communities to secure the resources they need to thrive during, and long after, this difficult chapter.” Chairman of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs Raymond Tsumpti testified

before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee about the water crisis on the Warm Springs reservation and the urgent need for federal investment in new water infrastructure. “For years, we have dealt with harmful and expensive obstacles in water storage, water delivery and water treatment … After some patchwork repair on our water system, water system failures returned in summer 2020 in the midst of COVID-19.”
