Commissioners reject idea to expand board Knox Keranen The Pilot
In an attempt to reduce internal struggle, Commissioner Chris Paasch is recommending expanding the Curry County Board of Commissioners from three to five members.
“We’ve had many, many days here with meetings that have a lot of tension... we could sometimes cut with a knife,” said Paasch. During a Wednesday board meeting, Paasch suggested putting together a proposal for a board expansion to be put on the
ballot in the spring 2022 election. He said he would not support two new, full-time paid positions, but recommended a structure of three full-time and two part-time members or changing the board to be all-volunteer. Paasch said the current structure is becoming too divisive.
“There’s so much contention, if you get two commissioners that have total disagreement with each other and can’t get through the personal part of it, it becomes a battle,” he said. A board expansion to five members would match up with the size of the city councils with-

After 25 years, Safety City is continuing its mission of teaching kids how to stay safe. Safety City is a free, weeklong summer program for 5-year-
olds, teaching them how they can stay safe in their surroundings — wherever they might be. The kids learn from professionals in a variety of fields, and classes are held at the Kalmiopsis School in Brookings. Participating organizations include the U.S. Coast
Guard, Brookings and Harbor Fire Departments, Coos Curry Electric, Town and Country Animal Clinic, Coos Forest Protective Association and Brookings-Harbor School District. Dan Palicki is the coordinator and founder of the program
in Brookings. A retired police officer from Ohio, Palicki said he started Safety City to teach kids awareness in potentially dangerous situations. “We teach kids how to react More Safety, Page A3
Government looking at unprecedented fire season By David Rupkalvis The Pilot
As much of the nation prepares for what could be a disastrous fire season, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden is urging local residents to be watchdogs in an effort to protect communities from major blazes. During a conference call with the media Saturday, Wyden said people in neighborhoods across Oregon and the western part of the nation could stop the biggest threats before they start. “Folks that are out in the community, when they see any signs like dropped matches, burns in their neighborhoods, the really important thing for people to do is not take but a minute and More Fire, Page A8

Commissioners vote to upgrade radio dispatch equipment Knox Keranen The Pilot
Ask and you shall receive. After the Curry County Sheriff’s Office requested an upgrade for aging radio dispatch equip-
ment at a board of commissioners meeting last month, the board unanimously voted to approve the roughly $700,000 modernization at a June 23 meeting — but not without a debate. The dispatch system is used by
multiple police and fire agencies within the county to get first responders to an emergency call for service. Among those using the system are Gold Beach and Port Orford police and fire departments, Coos Forest Protec-
tive Association and the sheriff’s office. The Brookings police and fire departments operate on their own dispatch system. During the meeting, Commis-

A federal agency is planning some big things for offshore wind energy on the Oregon Coast. In a June 23 presentation to the Curry County Board of Commissioners, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management outlined their process in identifying locations for some truly massive wind turbines — the largest of which are taller than the Statue of Liberty and the Washington Monument at more than 850 feet — not to mention the span of the whirling blades — which can be longer than a football field. Although they are typically much larger, offshore turbines essentially work the same as onshore turbines. As wind causes the blades to spin, they produce kinetic energy, which is converted to electrical energy by a generator inside the turbine. The electricity is shuttled to an offshore substation through underwater cables, and then transported to an onshore substation, where it is finally distributed to homes and businesses. Whitney Hauer, renewable energy specialist, said offshore wind turbines can produce more energy than landlocked turbines because the wind is stronger and more consistent. In shallow water, turbines are secured directly to the ocean floor, but floating foundations are used in deeper waters. Hauer said floating offshore wind technology will most likely be used on the West Coast due to steep dropoffs along the continental shelf. Offshore turbines could be built anywhere from three to 300 nautical miles offshore. In June of 2020, the state of Oregon and the BOEM committed to offshore wind energy planning. Since then, the BOEM initiated a multi-year planning process, beginning with a mass data collection phase. They are looking at a wide variety of information, including potential human and environmental impacts, natural disaster risk — such as a tsunami — and wind speeds More Wind, Page A3

County forms committee to look at COVID relief funds Knox Keranen The Pilot
After debating the whos and hows, the Curry County Board of Commissioners approved the formation of a stakeholder committee, which will be tasked with making recommendations to the board on how to spend $4.4 million in federal COVID-19 relief money. During a June 23 meeting, the board voted 2-1 to form the small — but mighty — seven-member committee. Commissioners Chris Paasch and John Herzog voted in favor, while Commissioner Court Boice was opposed. Boice’s main sticking point was allowing county employees to sit in on the committee meetings. He argued county officials could bring unwanted influence. “I don’t want people from the county looking over their shoulder if they are trying to get some honest work done,” said Boice. “There’s no way
you can be in the room and not have an impact, I think that’s part of the county system that people distrust.” Herzog and Paasch argued county employees should be in the room to give general and legal advice, but should not serve on the committee. They decided on allowing just three employees to sit in — County Attorney Anthony Pope, Director of Operations Brad Reuckert and Economic Development Coordinator Summer Matteson. County elected officials, including the commissioners, will be barred from attending stakeholder meetings, however, the board will have the final say on spending the funds. According to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, American Rescue Plan funds can be used to support households, small businesses, impacted industries, essential workers and the “communities hit hardest by the crisis.” Ad-
ditionally, these funds can also be invested in local water, sewer and broadband infrastructure. The federal government has begun dishing out $65.1 billion to counties across the U.S. as a part of the act. Before the board voted to form the committee, Matteson suggested the county use all of the money to create more affordable housing in the area. Curry County continues to face a shortage of affordable housing, with median rental costs at $870 — the highest in the Southwest region, according to the Oregon Development Department. The county is currently accepting applicants for the stakeholder committee, those who are interested can apply on the county website: https://www. co.curry.or.us/ Additionally, the county is accepting project proposals from the community, which could be funded with American Rescue Plan funds. Proposals can also be submitted on the county website.
Do you want to participate? Curry County is now soliciting applications from those interested in serving on the ARP Stakeholder Committee and tasked with making recommendations for best use of American Rescue Funds. Agencies and parties anticipating submission of project proposals for funding to the ARP Stakeholder Committee are discouraged from applying. Your application must be received at the County by 5 p.m. Wednesday, July 14. This announcement and the application link can be found on the county website at: www.co.curry. or.us

Jerry Lynn Smith June 20, 2021
Jerry Lynn Smith passed away Sunday, June 20, 2021, at age 82, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. Jerry was born in the Klamath Falls Hospital to Red and Helen Smith. He graduated from Brookings Harbor High School in 1957 and Oregon State University in 1962 with a degree in Forestry. From a young age he always enjoyed being out in the woods. His career in the forestry industry kept him walking in the woods across Oregon and Washington for the early part of his career. He entered government service in the early eighties and worked for the Soil Conservation Service and then the National Resource Conservation Service until his retirement. After retiring from work he still spent many hours in the woods, whether as a docent at Kennedy Creek Salmon Trail or as a bird watcher. When Jerry wasn’t
wandering through forests, he could be found singing in the Olympia Unitarian Universalist Congregation church choir, or volunteering his time with Bread and Roses, Camp Quixote, and Habitat for Humanity. When not out and about he could be found carving small wooden birds or creating beautiful pieces of stained glass. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and friend who was always willing to talk and had a good story to tell. Jerry is survived by his second wife of 36 years of marriage, Virginia Smith, and her two children Eric Lassen and Anne Brown. He is also survived by his first wife Kathy LaFrance who is the mother of his children, Charmaine Gural and Graham Smith. Jerry also leaves behind his little sister, Mary Gail Evans Wallen, and his six beloved grandchildren, Noah Smith, Jonas Brown, Tabitha Smith, Molly
Lassen, Sophie Brown, and Jasper Lassen. His Celebration of Life will happen later this summer. If you are interested in attending, please contact a family member or send an email to celebratingJerrySmith@gmail.com. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to one of these charities in Jerry’s name: South Puget Sound Salmon Enhancement Group, Camp Quixote, Alzheimer’s Association, or The National Audubon Society.
Dalton Paul Castle April 1, 2000 - June 20, 2021 Dalton Paul Castle, 21, of Brookings, Oregon, died in his father’s family home in Louisa, Kentucky on June 20, 2021. He was born April 1, 2000 on the Marine Corps Base in Twenty Nine Palms, California, son of Kelli Lynn Castle-Senior and Joseph Dean Castle. He attended Condor Elementary and Kalmiopsis Elementary, then graduated from both Azalea Middle School and Brookings Harbor High School after moving here to Brookings where he played soccer, football, baseball and many other various activities. Dalton is survived by his mother Kelli Lynn Castle-Senior and stepdad Micah Elisha Senior; his
sister Erin Leigh Anderson, his brother Dawson Decker Senior and his step brother Cameron Nicholas Senior. He also leaves his maternal grandparents Lynn Carol Wallace-Hyatt and James Lee Hyatt of Mayfield, Utah and Montgomery, Louisiana, and his maternal great grandmother Nadine Carol Wallace of Brookings, Oregon. He is also survived by his best friends, many close friends, uncles, aunts and cousins.

An account was opened at Rogue Credit Union under the D Castle Memorial Fund account number 6000721795 if you would like contribute to his funeral proceedings. missioner Court Boice recommended holding off on approving the upgrade, which will likely be a Motorola system, to see if other companies could make a lower bid. Boice said he might have a lead on a different company with a lower bid. “Just give me a couple of weeks to get all the information to you before we spend $700,000...two weeks isn’t going to be the end of the world,” said Boice. Paasch said he was worried about waiting, as the system might break before an upgrade could be made. “We cannot have someone out in the field who needs help and cannot call for it,” said Paach. Additionally, Paasch said other sheriff’s departments and first responders use Motorola equipment, and he did not think a different system would be as reliable. Commissioner John Herzog became the decision-maker between the two commissioners. Herzog suggested approving the upgrade to Motorola equipment on the condition that Boice be given one week to investigate his lead on a lower bid. Herzog’s suggestion was then voted on and passed

Josephine and Douglas counties. While Paasch’s suggestion fell mostly on deaf ears, Commissioner John Herzog did make some brief comments. “It sounds an awful lot like home rule...home rule has been voted down every time it’s come to the voters,” said Herzog. Home rule is the idea of allowing local governments broad powers over
animals, among others. On Saturday, the first class of this summer graduated from Safety City, 17 kids in all. Safety City runs will run for three more weeks, and there are openings for the weeks of July 12 and July 26. Classes are two hours long, and the program is free to kids through sponsorships funded by community businesses and organizations. Last year, the program their jurisdiction. A 1958 amendment to the state constitution allowed voters to adopt charters prescribing how their governments should be structured, what their powers should be and what procedures they should follow. Since then, nine of 36 Oregon counties have adopted home rule charters: Washington, Lane, Hood River, Multnomah, Benton, Jackson, Josephine, Clatsop and Umatilla. Despite his comments on home rule, Herzog added that a board expansion is “something to think about.”

in particular locations, among many other data points. BOEM even tracks the unexploded weapons lingering in ocean waters along the West Coast; remnants of past wars, which either missed their target or were dumped. If you are wondering, there are two relatively small “explosive dumping areas” about 100 miles West of Astoria, according to the West Coast Ocean Data Portal. Hauer said BOEM is scouting the entire Oregon Coast for potential wind farm locations. On average, offshore wind speeds in Oregon are 15 miles per hour, according to the presentation. Although she said offshore wind in Southern Oregon is considered “world class,” at 22-23 mph, on average. America’s first offshore wind farm is the Block Island Wind Farm off the coast of Rhode Island. There, five turbines create enough energy to power
17,000 homes in New England. Block Island finished construction in 2016 and came online shortly thereafter. There are more than 30 offshore wind projects across the U.S. in various stages of development, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. After data collection is finished, specific locations will be identified for wind farms, which is an array of turbines. Then, a plethora of environmental surveys will be conducted in those locations, and BOEM will purchase a lease from the state. After it assumes control, BOEM will issue more environmental surveys, including geological and biological surveys, and after extensive surveying, construction on a wind farm can finally begin. Recently, Representative David Brock-Smith submitted a bill to the state legislature, which aims to establish three Gigawatts of commercial scale floating offshore wind energy projects within federal waters off the Oregon Coast by 2030.

How to love the bear’s world By John Horning Last spring, at the height of some of the most anxiety-ridden moments of the pandemic, my father read a poem to me over the phone. He’s 89 this year, and while he’s vibrant and healthy I don’t take for granted any opportunity to hear his voice — especially when he’s reciting a poem. The poem, Mary Oliver’s Spring, describes the emergence of a black bear from its winter slumber. Oliver writes: “There is only one question: how to love this world.” This spring, as bruins emerged across the American West, I found myself wondering about the secret lives bears lead. As their hunger grows, do they imagine eating trout from a Rocky Mountain stream? Is it hunger pangs or some deeper yearning - perhaps to experience the new world – that drives bears from the comfort and warmth of their dens? I’ve been thinking about bears and how to love their world because bear-management-practices have been in the spotlight recently, a light that intensified after two people were killed by bears, one in Montana and one in Colorado. The death of those people was tragic. Yet, we must remember that fatal attacks remain rare. A bear does not wake up in the morning, pack a rifle, and set out to kill a human being. Bears struggle to survive in an increasingly diminishing wild that brings them in contact with humans more frequently. Humanity’s mission, I believe, is not to kill them but to find ways to coexist. On April 30, Montana Republican Governor Greg Gianforte signed a bill that allows hunters to use hounds to hunt black bears in the spring, when they’re with cubs and ravenous for food. This is the same governor who illegally trapped and killed one of Yellowstone’s iconic wolves. One of the bills’ key sponsors, state Sen. Tom MacGillivray, offered a consistent refrain about bears: “Over the last seven, eight years we’ve seen a dramatic decrease in the whitetail population, and, interestingly enough, a dramatic increase in the black bear population,” he said. “This bill helps to balance that out.” Not a shred of science supports this contention. There’s a long-standing war on carnivores and blaming bears is a convenient excuse for what ails the deer and the deer hunter’s world. In reality, a complex host of
factors including habitat loss due to sprawl, climate change and other dynamics are to blame. Meanwhile, in Colorado, a federal judge struck down a controversial plan supported by the state’s wildlife agency, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Department, to “study” whether killing black bears — and mountain lions — would benefit mule deer. Sadly, the judge’s ruling denying federal funding of the bear-killing plan came too late for the dozens of Colorado bears that were killed in the study, one the agency’s scientists had to know was laden with anti-carnivore bias. Though Colorado and Montana are worlds apart on the political spectrum, the hostility towards bears and other carnivores is a tie that binds, whether it originates in a state legislature or in the state agency charged with managing wildlife. At a time when the attitudes of most Montanans, Coloradans and Americans at large are shifting dramatically to favor greater coexistence with fanged creatures, those in power over the lives of wild animals are digging in their heels. Instead of figuring out how to live with them, Montana and Colorado are making it easier to kill bears. The word poetry comes from the Greek poetes, meaning “to create.” Whenever possible, I believe we should attempt to create opportunities for all life to thrive. It pains me that often those at the state level responsible for overseeing the management of wildlife seem to take more pleasure in the destruction of bears than in figuring out better ways for humans to coexist with them. Wildlife management needs a new reason to exist, one that isn’t based on killing. Its mission might read like this: We aim to protect wildlife, making no distinction between predator and prey. We aim to enhance that sense of wonder most of us experience when we see animals in the wild. And instead of taking more courses in traditional wildlife management, the profession might consider including reading some of the best American poetry inspired by nature and the creatures that depend on stillwild places. They could start with Mary Oliver’s Spring.

Letters to the editor Much work to do for PTSD June was PTSD Awareness Month. Here is info that demonstrates that we have much to do in our PTSD awareness efforts — including outreach to PTSD suffers. Who are our PTSD suffers? A Google search will provide this information: “Prevalence of PTSD in Veterans — In one major study of 60,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, 13.5% of deployed and nondeployed veterans screened positive for PTSD,12 while other studies show the rate to be as high as 20% to 30%” Another study suggests that 1 in 10 veterans who served in Vietnam — more than 283,000 people — experienced PTSD
symptoms four decades later. PTSD is not only something that happens to our veterans and first responders. Here is info from an article published on Drexel.edu by their news officer, Rachel Ewing discussing a study, authored by Jonathan Purtle, DrPH, an assistant professor at the Drexel University School of Public Health. The 2014 study was “the first to examine how public policy has been used to address psychological trauma and PTSD in the U.S., providing a glimpse of how lawmakers think about these issues. “Although trauma and PTSD are serious issues affecting military populations, the raw number of people affected by PTSD includes substantially more civil-
ians simply because the civilian population is so much larger,” said Purtle. As an example, Purtle pointed to the specific language of the bill that created National PTSD Awareness Day. The text of that resolution describes PTSD as a “wound of war” that affects people in the military and does not acknowledge that PTSD exists among civilians.” The most important point to make in all of this information sharing, is that PTSD treatments work. Please reach out to your doctor, your clergy, a local mental health provider, or the VA if you need help. Connie Hunter Brookings
Guest Opinion
Real law, fake news: No, Ron DeSantis isn’t making people ‘register their political views’ By Thomas L. Knapp Raw Story’s headline is disturbing: “Florida goes full fascist,” quoting a tweet referenced in the story. “Ron DeSantis sparks furious backlash with ‘authoritarian’ campus political surveys.” “Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation requiring Florida students, faculty and staff to register their political views in surveys in an effort to promote ‘intellectual diversity’ at colleges and universities,” Travis Gettys reports. OK, well, “reports” may be stretching it just a teensy weensy bit. In the Tampa Bay Times story Gettys cites, Ana Ceballos tells us the legislation “will require public universities and colleges to survey students, faculty and staff about their beliefs and viewpoints,” not that those students, faculty and staff members will be required to respond to the surveys. Looks like Mr. Gettys saw what he wanted to see instead of what was actually there. I empathize. It happens to the best of us. What about Ms. Ceballos? Is her account accurate? Let’s consult the bill itself: “The State Board of Education shall require each Florida
College System institution to conduct an annual assessment of the intellectual freedom and viewpoint diversity at that institution. The State Board of Education shall select or create an objective, nonpartisan, and statistically valid survey to be used by each institution which considers the extent to which competing ideas and perspectives are presented and members of the college community, including students, faculty, and staff, feel free to express their beliefs and viewpoints on campus and in the classroom.” Nothing at all in there requiring students, faculty or staff to “register their political views”
(Gettys), or even requiring the schools to ask them about those views (Ceballos). The surveys cover what’s being taught at the schools (a reasonable area of interest for the State Board of Education, and for the legislators who appropriate funding for those schools), and whether the people on campus feel free to speak their minds (a reasonable area of interest for anyone who supports freedom of speech). When it comes to the main claims in the two stories, there’s just no “there” there. Ron DeSantis and Florida’s legislature aren’t requiring anyone to”register their political views” with this law. Ceballos’s story is, intentionally or not, fake news, and Gettys’s story is more fake news stacked on atop Ceballos’s. I get it. Reading legislation is incredibly boring. But if you’re going to report on it, carefully reading it first seems like part of the job. Thomas L.

House passes critical legislation for homeless youth On Friday, the Oregon House of Representatives unanimously passed HB 2544, a bipartisan bill that will allocate aid to thousands of Oregon’s unaccompanied homeless youth. With over 3,700 unaccompanied homeless youth in the 2018-19 school year alone, Oregon has the highest rate of youth homelessness in the nation. This legislation will provide $1.8 million to ex-
pand Oregon’s host home network, and another $1.8 million for the expansion of existing shelter facilities. “I am proud to continue my record of advancing funding for homeless youth in our region. In 2019, I secured $300,000 for unaccompanied homeless youth in my district to help support 853 homeless students in the North Clackamas, Oregon City, and Canby School Districts; 202 were
unaccompanied by a parent or guardian,” said Rep. Christine Drazan (R-Canby). “These numbers are shocking but not surprising since on a statewide level, Oregon holds the distinction of having the highest rates of homeless youth in the nation. Children that are homeless are 68% more likely to experience chronic homelessness as adults. “Without intervention, we cannot expect homeless
kids to achieve their best future and reach their highest potential. This year’s funding of $3.6 million will support statewide services and shelters, in addition to expanding on the home network that was funded in 2019. We are not just funding housing for kids that desperately need stability—with the help of an engaged community we can transform lives, with a little extra help today there is hope for tomorrow,”
Fire
Service to make sure they are prepared to deal with the unprecedented fire season in the west,” Wyden said. “Specifically, the danger of multiple big fires, infernos, taking place simultaneously across the western states. The fires are going to stress local, state and federal resources to the breaking point unless we are prepared. Millions of westerners this morning are collectively holding their breath about the prospect of one of these infernos ripping through their town.” Wyden said after his continued discussions in D.C., he expects announcements to be made this week outlining federal plans for the fire season. “I expect the Biden administration will have more to say publicly
about this threat, this grave threat, in the next few days,” Wyden said. “I’ve been raising this in public hearings and private conversations every single day.” While Wyden said he has not seen the White House plan, he expects the federal government to explain how it might fight multiple large fires at one time. “Specifically, what I think we’ll hear is about making sure there are personnel available in the west to fight multiple fires, the big fires, at the same time,” he said. “The reason I emphasize this is because this is a departure from the past. “Usually, we have one big fire, and other western states will chip in for the state that was hit the hardest. Now, we’re talking about something that’s unprecedented, which is big fires simultaneously throughout the west.” Wyden said during a recent public hearing, the Forest Service admitted it could be a very difficult year. “Vicki Christiansen, the head of the Forest Service, said she felt resources are already at the breaking
point,” Wyden said. “What we’re going to hear about this week is making sure there’s more personnel available to fight multiple fires at the same time, there’s equipment to back that up and that local, state and federal firefighters are going to be tightly coordinated in order to deal with this.” In addition to more firefighters, Wyden said more funding will be needed. “I do believe it’s going to take additional resources to deal with this especially grave situation, the possibility of fires all over the west at the same time,” he said. “I expect this will take additional resources.” Wyden said there are two fronts where the threat of dangerous fires must be attacked. The first is have firefighters and equipment available when blazes erupt. The second is an effort to thin out millions of acres of forest that are a tinderbox right now. Wyden said it will cost up to $20 billion to thin out the forest, which will ease the threat in the long run. “Right now, my biggest concern is it is so dry,” he said.

call the local fire officials. What the public can say is we can be the watchdogs over some of these threats.” Wyden said it is important for every person to play a role this year, saying he expects the fire season to be unprecedented. Because of the threat, Wyden has been working closely with the Biden administration, the U.S. Forest Service and others to come up with a plan to handle the potential of a fire season no one has seen before. “For several weeks, I have been working very closely with the White House and the Forest

Curry County SAR team helps rescue three people Three people were rescued by the Ward County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team after they got lost and stuck in the backroads. At 6:04 a.m. Sunday, the Curry County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch received a 911 call from 24-yearold Grants Pass resident Savanah Barnett, stating that she and her sister, 19-year-old Hailey McGregor along with a 3-year-old child were stuck on a road since the night before and they had no idea where they were. Barnett said the three of them had left Grants Pass
in a silver, four-door Mercury car the evening before to travel to Gold Beach by going over Bear Camp Road. Barnett said their car got stuck and they had no cell service, so they walked about a half hour to where they could get cell service to call 911. Barnett said they turned onto a road but believed they were still off the Bear Camp Road somewhere. Dispatch contacted Sergeant White and Sheriff John Ward, who gave instructions to call out search and rescue members to drive the roads in the Bear Camp area to try and locate

A Josephine County sheriff’s deputy and a BLM ranger were dispatched to check their area. Curry County sheriff’s deputies and search and rescue members Will Tucker, Craig Rasbury, Jesse Fletcher and Art Tarin responded to the Agness area to search all the roads off Bear Camp and Burnt Ridge Roads. Curry County Dispatch was able to get the coordinates off the original 911 call placed by Barnett, putting them in the Wildhorse area, which is about 30 miles west of the Bear Camp Road area. While the roads were being searched on Bear Camp, other SAR members including Mike and Wendy Lang and Phil Dixon along with Sergeant White backtracked to the Wild Horse area to check the coordinates given.

At about 10 a.m., SAR members Mike and Wendy Lang located Barnett, McGregor, and the child on a spur road off the #3318 Wildhorse Road.
