A Curry County judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by County Treasurer David Barnes against Commissioner Court Boice.

The suit alleged Boice improperly requested a payment of more than $3,000 from the county for the reimbursement of legal expenses he accrued in a previous lawsuit between him and the county, which was decided in

2018. In the previous suit, other members of the board of commissioners and the former director of operations claimed Boice had travelled on business without first getting approval from the

Kayliegh Hall's short story "Time Zone" for the Mismatched Mysteries collection is a science fiction tale about a young girl who takes an adventurous trip to outer space to find a lost friend and watch time stand still.

Azalea students partner with Forecastle Books to publish short stories

Knox Keranen The Pilot

Not many children can say they are published authors; but Kayliegh Hall and other students at Azalea Middle School can, after their collection of short

stories, Mismatched Mysteries, was recently released. Hall’s short story, “Time Zone” is a science fiction tale about a young girl who takes an adventurous trip to outer space to find a lost friend and watch time stand still.

“I kind of wanted something fictional and fun,” said Hall about her story. “I thought it would be easiest to create something fictional that’s not from Earth.” Mismatched Mysteries is the third edition of student-produced

books through the Writer’s Block program — an after-school initiative created by Mark Gautreaux, owner of Forecastle Books, for middle school students interested in creative writing. Each year, More Authors, Page A12

Digging to piece together local history Site near Bandon could put Coquille Indians in area 13,000 years ago By David Rupkalvis The Pilot

Almost everyone agrees, ancestors of the Coquille Indian Tribe were the first settlers in what is now the Coos Bay-Bandon region of Oregon. What we may be learning is how long the Tribe has had a presence in the area. For the last three weeks, archeology students from Oregon State University have been excavating a site near Devils Kitchen beach in Bandon. The excavation More Digging, Page A2

The Curry County Board of Commissioners has eliminated the director of operations position from the county. At a Wednesday meeting, the board voted 2-1 to eliminate the position. Brad Rueckert, who was the director of operations, will be transferred to a new role as the director of finance, and his salary will remain unchanged. As the director of operations, Rueckert oversaw all of the departments in the county, including economic development, parks, public health and roads, with a special focus on finance. Additionally, he served as the go-between for the commissioners and the leaders of each department. Since the position was created in 2017, it has been somewhat of a revolving door, with four different employees in just four years, as well as a couple of name changes. Rueckert was hired in the fall of 2019. Commissioner John Herzog said he was keeping a campaign promise in moving to eliminate the role. As a recently elected commissioner sworn in during January, Herzog said he wanted to wait six months before making a decision. “I didn’t have a huge platform, but one of them was that I’m not a proponent of having a director of operations for the county or a county administrator,” said Herzog. Despite the move, Herzog said Rueckert has done a good job. He emphasized the change in roles was not a demotion, but a transfer. Herzog and Commissioner Court Boice voted in favor, while Commissioner Chris Paasch was the lone holdout. Paasch said he was concerned the move would increase the workload for County Counsel Anthony Pope, who would be responsible for some of Rueckert’s former duties. Paasch also said this may create a void between the commissioners and the department heads. “I just don’t know who is going to pick up that slack, and how much of it is going to fall through the cracks,” said Paasch.

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

Curry Health Network welcomes orthopedic surgeon Dr. Bruce Perry Curry Health Network is pleased to announce the addition of orthopedic surgeon Bruce Perry, M.D. to its team of medical specialists. Dr. Perry has three decades of experience and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the healthcare system where he will begin seeing patients July 19 at Curry Medical Practice in Gold Beach and at Curry Medical Center in Brookings. He will perform surgeries in the stateof-the-art surgery suites at Curry General Hospital. Throughout his more than 30 years as a general orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Perry has provided a variety of care. “I’m a general ortho surgeon, which means I do everything,” he explained. “I do shoulders, hips, knees, hands, feet, sports injuries, trauma. My career has been very full of all-nighters and working through a weekend of trauma procedures.” As important as Dr. Perry’s experience is, his deep personal connection with

patients is equally notable. “My overall approach is that the patient is number one, and I’ve never lost that focus,” Dr. Perry shared. “My practice has always been personal, and I’ve been taking care of the kids of the kids of the kids (of patients). You know them. That is a very special gift and privilege.” His personable demeanor and relationship-focused patient approach make Dr. Perry a perfect addition to the community, and to Curry Health Network. He will provide a full range of general orthopedic services at CHN and offer endoscopic carpal tunnel release, an outpatient procedure that helps alleviate the pain, numbness and tingling of carpal tunnel syndrome, and gives patients a faster and often less painful recovery than traditional surgery. Perry also understands the unique needs of the aging population and is eager to serve this group with respect and dignity as they experience orthopedic

Dr. Bruce Perry issues associated with aging, such as pain or injuries from falls. When asked about patients who have understandable anxiety and concern when visiting an orthopedic physician, Dr. Perry described his process. “When you see a patient, you need to get a feel for one another,” he said. “It’s an interview both ways. It’s about developing a relationship. When I get an apprehensive patient, I start slowly to earn their trust.” Perry received his medical degree from Michigan State University in East Lansing and earned his master’s degree in microbiology and bachelor’s degree in biology from Occidental College in Los Angeles. He completed a medical internship at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan and a residency in orthopedic surgery at St. Francis Regional Medical Center in Wichita, Kansas. Prior to joining Curry Health Network, Dr. Perry had a successful private practice in Grants Pass, Oregon, with hospital privileges at Asante Three Rivers Medical Center. Curry Health Network is excited to welcome Dr. Perry and provide important orthopedic services to people in the communities the healthcare system serves. A referral to Dr. Perry from a patient’s primary care provider is required and can be faxed to 541-412-2084. To learn more about Dr. Perry, visit www.CurryHealthNetwork.com.

Students from Oregon State University dig through the dirt at Devils Kitchen while looking for artifacts related to the Coquille Indian Tribe.

Digging Continued From Page A1

is the fourth time OSU students have worked to learn about the history of the area, and what they have found could be extraordinary. Loren Davis, a professor of anthropology at OSU, said artifacts found at the digs have been dated back 13,600 years. “This is the ancestors of the Coquille people,” Davis said. “That pit in there goes down to 10-feet deep. Down there, we have radio carbon going back 13,600 years. If that’s true, this would be the oldest archeological site on the coast of North America. We have more work to do.” On Monday, the students and Davis were back at the site, slowly removing soil inch by inch. The slow, detailed work is necessary to find, protect and record any signs of human activity. Davis said the archeology students look for things most people would miss. For example, a rock that looks to most like a rock,

could have significance to archeologists because it might show signs of one time being in a fire. Students pulled out several fire rocks, along with charcoal, while excavating the site Tuesday. The whole time a representative of the Coquille Tribe was watching closely. The Tribe wanted a representative nearby to learn and to ensure artifacts were treated properly. If human remains had been found, and none have in the four years of digging, work would have stopped immediately. Davis said students from OSU have dug at Devils Kitchen in 2000, 2011 and 2013. The 2021 dig is the first time many students have been outdoors doing a real excavation in more than a year due to COVID-19 restrictions. Davis said getting the students back out into the field is a big step toward making them archeologists. “We get to be outside, you’re working with other people and you live in a field camp,” he said. “There’s a lot to learn other than archeology.” At the site, students

slowly dig into the soil, placing all the dirt into buckets. Each bucket was then sifted through to look for even the smallest artifact. Davis said every piece that was found helps tell the story of the area. “In the years, we were doing some testing to get an idea of what was here,” he said. “During the excavation, we realized there was a really long record of people being here.” Davis said while the artifacts go back more than 10,000 years, most of the confirmed activity at the site is newer. “The most intensive use of the site is in the last 3,000 years,” he said. “It would be ancestors of the modern Native American people.” While the students from Oregon State have permission to find, remove and map artifacts they find, Davis urged anyone else who finds artifacts to leave them where they are. “Artifacts on public lands are protected by state law,” he said. “What they can do is they can take a picture of it to enjoy it later. They can also contact the agency that owns the land. If you pick something up and take it, you’re erasing history.” And every piece of that history is important to understand the people who came before us. As archeologists, the challenge is getting enough pieces to tell the story, Davis said. “It’s one piece of a larger puzzle of what people were doing,” he said. “It isn’t like one piece tells the entire story. We’re trying to piece it back together again. We want to map where everything is in the ground.” At Devils Kitchen, the archeology students were excavating a piece of land up above the beach. To their south ran Crooked Creek. Davis said it is likely the creek ran through the area they were digging at before it changed routes. When the students finish their dig this week, they will fill in the hole. Davis said every dig is filled in for safety and aesthetics. While this group of students will return home for the rest of the summer, Davis and the Oregon State program will move to Eastern Oregon and start searching in a new location.

Internet censorship: The real monopoly threat By Thomas L. Knapp "If [Donald] Trump and [Bernie] Sanders take the same position on Big Tech censorship," David Catron writes at The American Spectator, "the issue deserves serious attention." He's right, but in pretty much the opposite of the way he intends. When the mainstream "right" and "left" agree on anything, that's almost always a blazing neon sign warning us that our freedoms are under threat. Catron (and Trump and Sanders) want the U.S. government to seize control of social media platforms and dictate which users those platforms must accept and what kind of content those platforms must permit publication of. They don't put it quite that baldly, of course, but who would? Their cause is implicit in their criticisms of "Big Tech" as a "monopoly," which requires government regulation to promote competition in the "marketplace of ideas." Social media platforms aren't monopolies. If you don't like Facebook or Twitter, you can go to Minds, MeWe, Diaspora, Mastodon, Gab, Discord, et al. The U.S. government, however, IS a monopoly. Everyone's forced to "do business" with it, and in many areas, it forcibly forbids or limits competition with its own offerings. Arguments in favor of government regulation of social media platforms aren't arguments against monopolies. They're arguments in favor of extending the government monopoly's reach into new markets. In this case, markets constitutionally protected by the First Amendment and by that amendment's codification in statute vis a vis the Internet, Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. Social media platforms' banning and content moderation decisions aren't "censorship." Censorship is "you can't say that." "You can't use OUR PLATFORM" to say that isn't censorship. If you tell me I can't sing my favorite Irish ballad, and that if I do you'll have me arrested (assuming you have the power to do so), that's censorship. If you tell me I can't sing

Guest Opinion

Thomas L. Knapp "Foggy Dew" on your front porch at midnight, that's not censorship. I'm free to sing it on my own front porch, or on the sidewalk, or at karaoke night at the local bar. By way of arguing the point, some of my friends point out that politicians bully major Internet platforms into "censoring by proxy." The popular example is U.S. Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) successfully leaning on Amazon Prime Video to remove "anti-vaccine" documentaries. My friends are right. It's a problem. Politicians attempting to compel platforms to host speech they don't want to host is the flip side of the same problem, not a different problem. Whatever the solution to that problem may be, repeal of the First Amendment or "reform" of Section 230 aren't part of it. Ideally, bad actors like Schiff, Trump and Florida governor Ron DeSantis would be impeached and removed from office, or charged with conspiracy against rights (18 US Code § 241), or both. Barring that, we should work to ensure that these evil-doers lose in Congress, in the courts, and at the ballot box. We mustn't sacrifice Internet freedom, or freedom of speech and press in general, to politicians and their schemes. Thomas L.

As Lake Powell dwindles, wonders open up By Tim Treuer On May 9, protected by neoprene, I bobbed around in a flooded canyon in Utah’s Lake Powell. The reservoir had fallen below 35 percent full, which gave me the unique opportunity to free-dive through an underwater bridge that was now suddenly within reach. I eyed the 100 feet of sheer sandstone rising out of the water. For much of the past half-century, boats that entered upper Fiftymile Canyon in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area could blithely float over Gregory Natural Bridge with about 40 feet of clearance. Not anymore. Two decades of drought had diminished the lake, and motorized river traffic could no longer float overtop. Now, however, a new passageway to Fiftymile’s inner sanctum was possible. That gave me a chance to become (possibly) the first person to pass under Gregory Natural Bridge since the archway was drowned 52 years ago. Doing so would require swimming underwater while holding my breath, something I’d practiced over a decade and a half of visiting coral reefs. I’m far from a professional free diver, but I have been known to spend a minute or two communing with croaking toadfish 50 feet beneath the waves. I filled my lungs one last time and plunged down, scissor-kicking my way into the bracing, turbid water. I’d spent the previous week with 11 other Alaskans in southeastern Utah, negotiating the rapids of the Escalante River, an underappreciated gem that used to join the Colorado River

but now feeds into Lake Powell. The Escalante has traditionally been considered navigable only during its spring flood. But word had trickled out that pack-rafts and patience could get you down the last 40 miles of it before it reached Lake Powell, even during low flows. Upriver in the town of Escalante, a water gauge gave a reading of just half a cubic foot per second for much of our journey, which began at Fence Canyon, 40 miles down the river. Only the cumulative output of spring-fed side canyons kept us moving. When we arrived at Lake Powell’s “full pool line,” where the reservoir used to start when Glen Canyon Dam was at capacity, we were in for a shock. It would have been impossible to guess that water once covered the banks; now, cottonwoods three stories tall bordered the river. It would take us another day and a half of increasingly arduous travel to finally enter Lake Powell. As the shoreline vegetation shrank, then disappeared, we gave up trying to float and began walking our boats. The braided river channel was choked with sediment that broke off from the banks in basketball-sized chunks. A rock pinnacle called Explorer Island was ringed with cracked mud studded with dry buoys. I’ve worked as a field ecologist for almost as long as the Western Rockies have been in a state of drought, but I’ve never seen a place so clearly in the throes of change. In 36 hours, we’d rewound the tape on 20 years of ecological succession — from riparian forest back to mud. We were ready to quit slosh-

ing through the Escalante River when we finally reached the depleted reservoir and our rented houseboat. Then it took us less than an hour to reach our goal, the place where Gregory Natural Bridge lurked beneath us. There, time compressed as I dropped underwater and passed through a shimmering boundary between the sun-warmed surface layer and the colder depths. Only then did the top of the archway come into view. As I passed under it at about 15 feet, there was more overhanging sandstone. Low visibility obscured what was ahead, but I decided to trust my lungs and finned forward, following the gradual rise of the rock above me. A diffuse glow became refracted light and then sunshine as I splashed back into the day. I was just 50 feet upstream, but once under the bridge and out the other side, I was in a world removed from where I had taken my last breath. It was quiet, with no sound of boats or people. Around me rose a red-rock panorama that had been hidden away for years. It was glorious. True, it might be a tragedy for flat-water recreationists and businesses if climate change and over-allocation of water rights in the West doom Glen Canyon Dam, letting loose the Colorado River. But I can attest there would be marvels for visitors, and what a boon for nature that would be.

tival, the committee decided to dissolve the SOKF. We invested much hard work over the last decade to produce this all-volunteer festival, and we would like to thank the numerous people who have shared that task with us as committee members. Even more than them, we wish to thank the hundreds of other volunteers who helped us produce this festival, unique because of its tiny field and enthusiastic audience, both of which made it a festival to which kite fliers begged and wheedled to be invited. We will never forget the fact that it was the entire Brookings-Harbor area and its businesses which made this festival possible in 1993. Without con-

tinuing support from sponsors who donated cash or merchandise, this festival would never have been or continued for 27 years. Special thanks should be given to Grocery Outlet which never failed to support the SOKF, Oceanside Diner which fed the fliers free breakfasts during festival weekend, and Wild River Pizza which always threw a farewell party for the fliers. There is a possibility that the Southern Oregon Kite Festival will morph into another unique kite festival in Crescent City, so keep your eyes on the sky.

Letters to the editor

Kite Festival says farewell This should be the weekend of the Southern Oregon Kite Festival. Unfortunately, it is not and never will be again. The SOKF was a huge benefit to the Brookings-Harbor area, bringing visitors from over the West. COVID-19 cancelled the 2020 and 2021 festivals and the Port of Brookings-Harbor informed us, last year, to not plan on using the Kite Field after 2021. A few years ago, when the port considered exorbitant rental fees for the Kite Field, the SOKF Committee searched, unsuccessfully, for another local site. We searched again after the port’s declaration and still found nothing suitable. With no location for a Kite Fes-

The applicant proposes to amend the zoning and land use designation of approximately 212 acres of a property used as commercial timberland to a property that could support rural residential use in the future. The rezone is proposed as a “ten-year rollout” meaning the re- designation of land use from timber harvest to residential use would not take place until ten years after the Board of Supervisors approves the project. The project does not include a subdivision to create legal lots, but rather sets up the land use and zoning for such an action in the future.

ter the board voted against the payment, former County Counsel John Huttl approved Boice’s request. Huttl explained his reasoning in a July 2019 memo to the former Director of Operations Julie Schmelzer. “If it is not a public purpose, it can be considered an illegal gift...However, there is a public purpose to the expense, and therefore not a gift under that doctrine. The expense was to

CURRY COASTAL PILOT

conduct county business. That is not questioned,” wrote Huttl. Despite the judge’s decision to not award costs or fees to either side, Huttl added that the county could reimburse Boice for legal expenses under a law that allows local governments to make payments “founded in justice and supported by a moral obligation.” Barnes, however, disagreed with Huttl’s decision to approve the payment. “The treasurer’s office alleges that Counsel Huttl

knowingly and willfully defied and overrode the order of Judge Combs...and applied his own standards of “‘moral and equitable’” to improperly authorize payment to Mr. Boice, which by court order he was not eligible or due,” wrote the treasurer’s office in their complaint. Nevertheless, Combs also dismissed the most recent case due to “procedural matters,” and yet again, no costs or fees were awarded to either party, according to the June 21 decision. One of the reasons Combs listed for dismissing the case was a suit against a commissioner on behalf of the county would have to come from the board of commissioners, rather than the treasurer’s office. The Oregon Department of Justice was also looking into the matter for criminal wrongdoing but has since dropped the investigation. “We have determined that a criminal investigation would not likely lead to evidence that would support criminal prosecution relating to the reimbursement,” according to a May 6 report from the assistant attorney general at the Oregon DOJ. “County Counsel Huttl was acting within his authority when he issued his opinion that the reimbursement for costs was legal and Commissioner Boice’s claim for payment could be approved; no crimes are implicated in his conduct.” Additionally, the report states Boice requested the payment through the appropriate channels and did not act outside of his official duties as commissioner in doing so. In an interview with the Pilot, Boice said the decisions by the circuit court,

as well as the state DOJ are an exoneration. He said the perpetual lawsuits and internal struggle are hurting the county’s reputation. “Commissioner [Chris] Paasch was in the courtroom to go against me, I mean, what does that say about the county government?” Said Boice. “It should have never happened, it all could have

been avoided.” Paasch explained why he believes Boice should not have been reimbursed during a July 7 board of commissioner’s meeting. Typically, commissioners sign-off on county payments, he said. “On this payment invoice there is no commissioner approval, meaning that it was never shown to a commissioner for

approval, and that is part of the grounds why I personally believe it shouldn’t have been paid,” said Paasch. Despite the ruling, Barnes said he still believes Boice acted inappropriately by requesting the payment. “Just because he didn’t get prosecuted does not mean that a crime was not committed,” said Barnes.

Free jet boat trip for veterans set this weekend Curry County Commissioner Court Boice has put together a fun river outing for veterans. “After two successful runs in 2019, we had to cancel the 2020 run, but we’re ready to get back on track,” Boice said. “Jerry’s Jets has offered to donate one of their special boats for this 64-mile Rogue River Tour.” Boice will be the pilot and is enthused to donate his time. He is the son of Marine and former Curry Sheriff Allen Boice. Court has logged over 9,000 guest trips into the Rogue Wilderness by White Water Jet Boat since 1973 and in his 45-year Rogue history has also been credited with many successful river rescues. "Jerry’s Jets, the McNair Family, Curry veteran groups and I are all hoping this will add to the now special annual tradition,” Boice said. “We will be accepting donations from folks that want to contribute to this adventure. All proceeds will go to the Gold Beach Youth Fund.” The Gold Beach Youth Fund is a nonprofit organization supporting the youth of Central Curry County with educational and extracurricular resources. To date, the Youth Fund has

purchased school desks, school chairs, refurbished all student body lockers in the high school, installed a six-person swing at Riley Creek School, seal coated the playground asphalt at Riley Creek, purchased weight room equipment and water fountains for the high school and helped with teachers’ projects. If you know of a Vet who might want to experience the Rogue by jet boat, please have them contact Boice to be added and as space allows. The boat can accommodate 45 people. Vets will need to book as early as possible and then confirm reservations by 10 a.m. Saturday, July 17. If local veterans were able to go in 2019 and want to go again, they will be put on a stand-by list and contacted as early as possible assuming seats become available. Check in time is 3 p.m. at Jerry’s Jets Boat Office at the Port of Gold Beach with departure at 3:30. Dinner is available at the Agness Cougar Lane Restaurant or snacks at the Cougar Lane Country Store (meal and snacks are not included). The river tour lasts approximately six hours. To register, contact Boice at 541-247-3229 or by email at boicec@ co.currr.or.us.

Sheriff’s office rescues husband after woman dies A North Carolina woman died, and her husband was rescued after the woman fell off a cliff near Natural Bridges on Monday. On Monday July 12, the Curry County Sheriff’s Office received information through the Brookings Police Department 911 center that a woman that had fallen off a cliff near Natural Bridges about 12 miles north of Brookings. Brookings’s dispatch advised they paged out Brookings and Cape Ferello fire departments along with Cal Ore Life Flight Ambulance. Curry County Sheriff’s dispatch then requested the Curry County Sheriff’s Office SAR rope team to respond along with the on-duty deputies. Sgt. Maia Mello arrived on scene and contacted the caller, Kim Maloy, a family member who told Mello that her sister-in-law, 60-year-old Glenda Tucker from North Carolina, had fallen about 300 feet from a cliff into the ocean and that Maloy’s husband was stuck on the side of cliff trying to get down to

where Tucker was. Mello got to the location and from her vantage point saw Tucker floating face down in the cove area and notified dispatch that the female victim, Glenda Tucker was deceased. Due to the location Tucker was at in the water below, a request was made to the Coast Guard for a helicopter and a swimmer to recover Tucker. In the meantime, the Sheriff’s SAR rope team and swimmers prepared to make the recovery in case the Coast Guard were not able to. Trained first responders secured a safety line to a tree and descended to where James Maloy was and were able to get him back to safety. The Coast Guard helicopter arrived and determined they could lower a swimmer outside the cove area where Tucker was and have the swimmer bring Tucker back outside of the cove to be hoisted to the helicopter. The Coast Guard rescue swimmer had to swim about 200 yards to reach Tucker. Once the rescue swim-

Senate President Peter Courtney and House Speaker Tina Kotek recently released the following statement on the expansion of public entry in the Oregon State Capitol: “The last year has been

extremely hard on our state. Oregonians have suffered devastating wildfires, an ice storm, a historic heatwave and extreme drought. Through it all, we have battled a global pandemic that has dramatically changed our daily lives. “Last March, we consulted with infectious disease doctors and public health officials about what changes were needed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the capitol. In the end, we made the very difficult decision to limit capitol entry to legislators, essential staff and members of the press. “Over 70% of Oregonians 18 and older are now vaccinated against COVID-19 and community spread has reduced considerably. “We are extremely grateful to Oregonians for stepping up to help beat

The 4-3 decision comes two years after an Oregon judge ruled that the commission had violated state law by denying the petition without explanation in 2018. “We’re relieved that after so many missteps, the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission will finally move forward with extending marbled murrelets the full protection of endangered status under state law,” said Quinn Read, Oregon policy director at the Center for Biological Diversity. “These unique birds face serious threats in Oregon from climate change, ocean warming, wildfire and unchecked logging of their nesting habitat and should have been protected as endangered years ago.” The marbled murrelet is a small seabird that nests in old-growth and mature forests and forages at sea. Its population has declined dramatically in recent decades due to extensive logging in Oregon’s coast range. The bird was listed as threatened under the Oregon Endangered Species Act in 1995. Habitat fragmentation, ocean warming, climate change and large-scale disturbances compound the existing threats and put this species’ future in greater jeopardy.

Building a digital defense against rental car scams The summer of 2021 is a much different – and hopefully better – place for you and your family than the summer of 2020. States are lifting restrictions, and you are finally able to travel again. That tropical beach – or the mountains – or even that big city across the country is calling, and there is nothing more that you want to do than hop on a plane and go.

“wild side” of our area with local animals, the book includes captions in English, Tolowa, and Yurok, and at the end of the book interesting facts about the featured animals are included.
