Young Gardeners Invited to Cultivate Green Thumbs with Curry County Master Gardeners

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

Get ready to dig in, Brookings!

Kids and families have a fantastic opportunity this summer to get their hands dirty and learn the ins and outs of gardening alongside the knowledgeable Curry County Master Gardeners.

Every Wednesday through August 20th, aspiring horticulturists are invited to the Little Bear Patch Garden at Kalmiopsis Elementary School from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.

“The first day was fun!” said Julia Bott, Master Gardener Volunteer. “We harvested strawberries and radishes and did a lot of weeding, getting a bed ready for planting.”

This hands-on experience will offer a real look at a working garden in action. Participants will learn about watering, tilling, and harvesting, and even get to see active worm composting bins up close. It's an ideal chance for children to gain practical knowledge from seasoned gardening experts.

Chetco Community Public Library to Host Inaugural Blood Drive

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

The Chetco Community Public Library is partnering with the American Red Cross to host its first-ever blood drive on Thursday, June 26th. This marks the beginning of what both organizations hope will be a series of vital community events aimed at saving lives. Each blood donation collected has the potential to save up to three lives, making this initiative a truly impactful way

for residents to give back. The drive has fifty-one appointment slots available, and every unit collected will make a significant difference in strengthening the local blood supply.

The Red Cross has a long-standing history of humanitarian impact, spanning over one-hundred thirty years, with more than seventy of those years dedicated to collecting life-saving blood.

Approximately thirty-eight percent of Americans are eligible to donate blood. Residents

interested in contributing to this critical cause can reserve their appointment by visiting redcrossblood.org.

Beyond its crucial blood donation services, the American Red Cross is a cornerstone of community support, operating through

four chapters and hundreds of volunteers across Oregon and Southwest Washington.

Gold Beach No Kings In America

BY LORI GALLO-STODDARD Guest Column

The demonstrators who waved American flags, displayed signs and lined the streets of Gold Beach on Saturday, June 14th, were part of the so called No Kings In America protest, a National Day of Demonstrations against President Trump and his policies. Organizers say millions of Americans marched in cities all over the United States. In Gold Beach, more than 500 showed up to brave the blustery weather and wind gusts for the demonstration, march and rally, which began at noon in front of the courthouse. There were drummers, dogs and kids in attendance along with parents and grandparents in the crowd. Most of the folks who waved fists, American flags and handmade signs were senior citizens and some brought humor to the event.

One person who opposes President Trump’s recent immigration and customs enforcement policies carried a sign that read “Melt ICE”. Another who said she opposed the President’s Executive Orders wrote “The Only King I want is King Salmon”. There were also sign wearing canines. One read, “The only good Doge is ME”, an obvious reference to the government’s Department of Government Efficiency, and another dog with a sign reading “They don’t eat me”, referring to President Trump’s remarks about immigrants who Please

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Addressing the Root Cause

If you are like me, every time I go into the grocery store, I wonder whether there will be food on the shelves next time I go. First it was the tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, and now it is the pressure put on immigrants. Whether legal or not, drug smugglers or families with kids in school, permanent status, seeking asylum or to work in the fields, targeting immigrants is affecting our food supply and the economy in general. In this area, the lily growers are affected.

If you are like me, every time you run into a problem, you have to find a solution, and if your plan doesn't address the root cause of the problem it makes the problem worse. Sometimes the solution is not evident. People are backed into the corner. If people are worried about having enough food to last the next winter or keeping their business going, what can we do? The president has all his advisors, but are President Trump's policies addressing the root cause of the problem? Is he making the crises worse?

People are standing up and protesting, but unless they have a plan that addresses the root cause of the problem, no one will listen. It is one of our unalienable rights granted to us by the Creator of us all to have a voice in our government. That right is the principle that counters terrorism, one of the power games associated with revenge.

When he was running for office, Donald Trump promised to be his supporter's retribution. Revenge is not a solution to a problem. It doesn't address the root cause of the problem so it makes the crisis worse. He needs a plan that addresses the root cause of the problem. That is his job.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Brookings-Harbor Education Foundation for awarding a $300 grant to support our upcoming Sunflower Planting Workshop for Kids on July 21, 2025. These funds allow us to provide free gardening sets for participating children to take home after the workshop, helping spark a lifelong love of growing and learning.

This fun, hands-on event for young children and their caregivers is presented in partnership with the Brookings Harbor Garden Club and the Master Gardeners of Curry County. Together, we’re excited to nurture curiosity, connection, and community through gardening. Thank you again, BHEF, for supporting youth programs that plant the seeds for a brighter future!

Katlyn Liddell, Assistant Director of the Chetco Community Public Library

Thoughts on HB3054 Apparently HB3054 in the Oregon Legislature has not yet been voted in or out. A lot of Brookings people submitted good testimony in favor of it in February and I say good job. It can be seen at www.olis.oregonlegislature.gov.

The latest word is from Senator Mark Meek on June 3.

He states: "So

In a small town, there are places that become more than businesses— they become part of our identity. For years, Cristina’s Mexican Restaurant wasn’t just where we went for enchiladas, tamales, and their famously delicious cheeseburgers; it was where we gathered. Birthdays were celebrated there.

Graduations toasted. First dates nervously launched over shared baskets of chips and salsa. And now, with its closing, our community feels a little less like home.

The Ramirez family brought more than authentic Mexican cuisine to our town—they brought heart. Whether it was Adolfo and Claudia greeting guests

at the door with a smile, or Christina and Aurea remembering your usual order, they treated everyone who walked in as family. Their restaurant was a bridge between generations, languages, and neighbors— something rare and invaluable in any community. The closure of Cristina’s is a reminder that even beloved institutions are not immune to the pressures of rising costs, long hours, and the challenges of small business ownership; it takes a toll on many family-owned establishments. Still, it’s hard not to feel a deep sense of loss when a place so deeply woven into our town’s fabric turns off its lights for the last time.

But the impact of the Ramirez family doesn’t end at the closing of their doors. They have shaped our community with their generosity, resilience, and spirit. Whether it was donating meals to local fundraisers, supporting school events, delivering food to homebound customers, selling hungry teenagers bean burritos for one dollar, or simply being a place people felt welcome, they showed what it means to care about where you live and who you serve.

We thank them—not just for the meals, but for the memories. For the stories shared across their tables. For the laughter echoing through their dining room. And for reminding us that the best communities are built around food, family, and connection. They may no longer serve meals, but the Ramirez family has already left a legacy that will nourish our hearts for years to come.

Runner Aims to Conquer Oregon Coast Trail, Eyes Fastest Known Time

By Linda Lee Curry Coastal Pilot

Heather Huggins, a 51-year-old runner with deep ties to Brookings, is preparing for an arduous endeavor: setting a new Fastest Known Time (FKT) for traversing the scenic Oregon Coast Trail.

A seasoned marathoner and ultra-trail runner, who now coaches cross country in Monrovia, California, Huggins is driven by a long-standing connection to the Oregon coastline and a desire to push her physical limits.

"Every summer we head back to Brookings," Huggins explained, “to see family and just enjoy getting out of the city. I grew up in Brookings, so it’s always good to come back.”

She highlighted her family's tradition of visiting the coastal town, where her father, Donald, is a well-known community figure. It was during one of her regular runs in the area, about a decade ago, that she first took notice of the Oregon Coast Trail's markers.

"I didn't remember seeing those when I was growing up, and I started looking into it," Huggins said. “Then I discovered the existence of a continuous route. One with varied terrain including beach stretches and highway detours, which sparked my interest and has grown over time, so I decided to take on the challenge.”

The concept of the Fastest Known Time, an increasingly popular way for athletes to challenge themselves on established routes outside of formal races, appealed to Huggins.

The FKT for the Oregon Coast Trail has become a moving target, with the record currently standing at seven days and twenty-one hours, a significant drop from the 18-day mark Huggins initially considered.

"Now it's gonna take some considerable effort," Huggins acknowledged.

Huggins plans to begin her supported attempt, meaning she can receive aid like food and water from friends and family

along the way, on June 27th. While the clock will run continuously until she finishes, she can take breaks and rest as needed. Her goal is ambitious: to complete the roughly 360-mile trail before the Fourth of July weekend.

"In my head, I've got grandiose ideas of running around sixty miles a day," Huggins stated, while also recognizing the unpredictable nature of long-distance running and the potential for setbacks, like blisters. She hopes to reach the finish line by the evening of July 3rd, aiming to avoid running through the busy holiday.

Huggins' journey into running was somewhat unconventional. While she ran in high school and occasionally joined her father in races during her late teens and early twenties, her commitment to the sport solidified later in life.

She began marathoning in her mid-30s, with an initial goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, a feat she accomplished on her first try. This led to a passion for marathons and eventually the challenging world of ultra-trail running, which she now embraces for its connection to nature.

"It puts me out in the forest in the mountains," Huggins said. “I appreciate the access to trails near my home, despite living in densely populated Los Angeles County.”

Huggins' running resume includes multiple Boston Marathon finishes and a notable third-place national ranking in a one-hundred-mile championship race, underscoring her capabilities for the demanding task ahead.

Her father, Donald, a familiar face in Brookings known for his involvement with the local food bank and his artistic pursuits as an actor, poet, and writer, will undoubtedly be cheering her on.

As Huggins prepares for this significant undertaking, the Brookings community will be watching and supporting one of their own as she strives to etch her name in the record books of the Oregon Coast Trail.

he said ate pets.

About 12:30 p.m. a large faction of the group broke from the sign-wavers and marched south on the east side of the sidewalk, crossed the street at McKay’s Market to then march back north on the west side before rejoining the others who remained lined up on both sides of the sidewalk along Highway 101 in front of the Courthouse.

They were holding signs, chanting and waving to the passing cars and trucks for about an hour, some of whom honked in support others responded with negative gestures or comments as they drove by. At 1:00 p.m. the event began to wrap up with speakers on the courthouse steps who invited others to an open mic, but right about then the crowd started clearing out. Everyone

seemed to be in good spirits both during and after the protest.

Gold Beach Police Chief Joel Hensley was there and said the whole event was well organized and that it was nice to see a peaceful demonstration.

Chief Hensley also said he especially appreciated the safety vests worn by the event’s volunteers and organizers. They helped with everything from parking to pedestrians, hydration to information and were easy to find in the crowd and as they stood at a table that

stocked water and pamphlets.

Important to note that there was a small group of the president’s supporters who did not agree with the protestors. They didn’t interfere or confront the No Kings protesters and instead, stood in a separate area waving a large Trump flag.

Those Trump supporters said they wanted to remind others that it was also Flag Day and that the President had been elected by a majority of voters.

tures don't stop there! After working at Kalmiopsis, families are welcome to join the Master Gardeners at approximately 2:00 p.m. behind the Library Annex to help establish a brand-new garden. There, participants will assist with planting seeds and starts, watering, and weeding, all in preparation for a late summer harvest.

“It was a really great experience. It was great to see the kids and adults working together in the garden. They weeded, harvested strawberries and carrots, fed worms, and were able to capture insects in some clear magnifying boxes to see them up close before releasing them,” said Brenna Haley, Youth Services Assistant Chetco Community Public Library. “Overall, it was very successful and a lot of fun.”

The Curry County Master Gardeners are a dedicated corps of highly trained volunteers who provide research-based, sustainable gardening information to the community. These individuals are passionate about learning and sharing their knowledge, offering invaluable assistance to backyard gardeners and professionals alike.

The Master Gardener Program, overseen by the Curry County Extension Office, offers extensive training and opportunities for the public in home horticulture. Volunteers are eager to learn about the art and science of plant care and, in return for their instruction, commit to sharing their expertise with their communities. This can involve answering gardening questions, staffing plant clinics, participating in plant sales, giving talks to local groups, or assisting with statewide events like the annual Joy of Gardening Conference.

Participants should remember to bring a water bottle, and if desired, sunscreen and a hat. All necessary gardening tools will be provided.

For those with a deep interest in gardening and a desire to share their knowledge, the Master Gardener program might be a perfect fit. If you’re into gardening, willing to learn and are curious about bugs and plant identification, this could be a fit for you.

Becoming a Master Gardener could be a highly rewarding experience. Registration for the annual training typically opens in November, with courses beginning in January. For more information on becoming a Master Gardener, contact the Curry County Extension Office at: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/mg/curry.

The Brookings city council meeting was alive with discussion about America, local budgets and major grants awarded to the city for services and projects as well as the damage from a landslide at Shorewood Terrace.

A highlight of the initial proceedings was the Americanism Proclamation presented by the Emblem Club. Mayor Hodges read the proclamation, which emphasized the importance of strengthening national unity and reaffirming citizen principles.

The proclamation

declared the week of June 9th through June 16th as "Supreme Americanism Week" in Brookings. It called upon citizens and clubs to uphold allegiance to the United States Constitution and flag, encouraging patriotic community endeavors and daily patriotic deeds by Emblem members.

In addition to the sense of American patriotism, a significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to addressing the severe landslide on Shorewood Terrace. This incident, caused by excavation work for a home site, according to the city, resulted in major damage to public infrastructure, including roadways, water mains, sanitary sewer force mains and storm drains.

City staff briefed the council on the issue, revealing that the city has retained an attorney to recover repair costs from the contractor's insurance. Engineering work is estimated at $96,800, with roadway reconstruction projected to cost around $680,000. The repairs will be funded by the Brookings Streets Replacement Fund, along with water, sewer and storm funds, with the expectation of future reimbursement.

The timeline for repairs anticipates design completion by July, with

a bid award in August and construction commencing mid-August, continuing into October. Councilor Andy Martin stressed the urgency of the repair, stating it was "prudent that the city jump on this and not let it sit through another winter," to prevent further damage.

The council unanimously approved a motion to authorize the city manager to proceed with the engineering plans for Shorewood Terrace.

In other news, the council proceeded to hold public hearings and adopt several key financial resolutions for the 2025-2026 fiscal year.

The first being a state revenue sharing, where the council elected to receive state revenues, after a public hearing where no comments were made. Next was the city's budget of $71,548,987, with general fund operating expenditures totaling $8,242,911.

Also included was the

water and sewer rates and system replacement fees, adopting water rates, sewer rates and system replacement fees respectively, all with a 2.7 percent increase based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), were approved.

The council also approved increasing appropriations due to significant grants and donations for the current 2024-2025 fiscal year. The resolution accepted funds for various city departments:

• Fire Department:

$35,000 from the Oregon State Fire Marshall for wildfire season.

Oregon Charter Academy Marks Two Decades

Graduates Class of 2025 Including Two Brookings Students

By Linda Lee Curry Coastal Pilot

The Oregon Charter Academy (ORCA), the state's first and longest-running virtual public charter school, celebrated a dual milestone on June 7th: its 20th anniversary and the commencement of its Class of 2025.

The ceremony, held at the Oregon State Fairgrounds, honored nearly three-hundred five graduates from across Oregon, including two accomplished students from Brookings.

Emilia Daugherty and Savannah Harnden, both from Brookings, were among the distinguished graduates. Daugherty earned a spot in the top three percent of the graduating class, while Harnden actively participated in ORCA’s innovative ASCEND career and technical education program.

Emily Pennington, ORCA’s student government president, encapsulated the graduating class's spirit with a quote from Walt Disney: "Keep Moving Forward." She commended her classmates.

"We have all pushed, persevered and put everything we have into making this moment happen, and truthfully, we all more than exemplify this quote, we embody it,” said Pennington. The class of 2025 is

going to take this skill to 'Keep Moving Forward' and go as far as their dreams can take them.”

ORCA's success is attributed to its dynamic and personalized curriculum, designed to prepare students for both higher education and the demands of the modern workforce.

The school offers unique opportunities such as the ASCEND career and technical education program, the AVID college and career readiness program, and a vibrant schedule of social events, all aimed at empowering students to achieve their aspirations.

Originally known as Oregon Connections Academy, ORCA transitioned to an independent, tuition-free virtual public charter school in 2020. This move further enhanced its capacity to serve K-12 students statewide with advanced technology and customizable approaches to a standards-based curriculum.

Joe Mogford, ORCA's high school principal, expressed immense pride in the graduates. "We are confident that wherever these students go next, they are prepared to thrive," Mogford said. "It’s a privilege to be part of their educational journey. Congratulations, graduates, you all will do great things!"

A core tenet of ORCA's mission is to equip

students with 21st-century skills, often referred to as the "Four C's": critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity. These vital skills are designed to give students a crucial advantage as they transition into post-secondary education and the competitive job market. Fully accredited and with a curriculum aligned to Oregon state academic standards, ORCA is open and free to all K-12 students.
