Advisory Committee Members Selected to Advance West Coast Ocean Initiative

Administrators of the nation’s two national ocean science trusts said they have taken a key next step in the development of the West Coast Ocean Science Action Agenda by announcing initial appointments to an advisory committee.

The committee will provide strategic oversight and validation of coastwide agenda implementation, emphasizing fairness, representation, and balance of voices needed to deliver on ocean science priorities for the coming decade.

As the U.S. West Coast faces the impacts of a changing climate - including heatwaves, coastal storms, changing ocean chemistry, and sea-level rise, advancing scientific knowledge and solutions is critical. The agenda will identify shared science priorities and co-create science funding structures that can deliver on these needs.

Laura Anderson, Chair of the Oregon Ocean Science Trust, expressed support for the agenda and advisory committee members that will contribute to its success. “Ocean science protects lives, fuels innovation, and strengthens coastal economies,” said Anderson. “We’re excited to welcome advisory committee members to this region-wide initiative to bring to the table unique voices

and perspectives that will help us deliver a robust agenda.”

The trusts are partnering with the West Coast Ocean Alliance and the West Coast Ocean Tribal Caucus to authentically listen to Tribal science priorities and lift those into the shared priorities identified in the agenda.

“The West Coast Ocean Alliance, including its membership of tribal and state governments from throughout the region, is very much looking forward to the opportunity to share their ocean science priorities,” West Coast Ocean Alliance Executive Director John Hansen said. “The advisory committee will play an essential role in providing accountability to inclusively listening and learning, and demonstrating how all government partners can be heard in a meaningful way.”

As the trusts expand partnerships in Washington, additional members will be welcomed to the Advisory Committee to ensure appropriate consideration of shared science priorities from the breadth of the U.S. West Coast.

“It is an honor to partner with the members of the advisory committee,” California Ocean Science Trust Executive Director Liz Whiteman said. “They bring an incredible diversity of perspectives and experience in the science-to-policy sector. I look

forward to learning from their expertise to collectively realize the vision of the agenda.”

Advisory committee appointments:

• Becky Smyth, recently with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

• Dr. Clarissa Anderson, Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System

• Dominique Kone, Blue Convergence Fund

• Kate Wing, Intertidal Agency

• Dr. Jan Newton, University of Washington and Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing System

• Dr. Matthew Gribble, University of California, San Francisco

• Dr. Priya Shukla, Strategic Earth Consulting

• Dr. Rod Fujita, Ocean Innovations Consulting

• Dr. Roxanne Beltran, University of California, Santa Cruz

• Sabrina Lopez, PhD Student, Coastal Climate Resilience Fellow

• Dr. Will White, Oregon State University

As part of the application process, advisory committee members shared perspectives on their diverse interests associated with U.S. West Coast ocean and coastal research needs. Ensuring historically underrepresented

voices are included in agenda strategies, considering strategies that address both threats and opportunities facing the U.S. West Coast, developing strategies that lead to actionable science, and leveraging funding across federal, state, and philanthropic sources, were a few of the concepts expressed by potential members.

For example, Becky Smyth, recently with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and selected for the advisory committee, emphasized the urgency of the effort.

“The advancement of this West Coast Ocean Science Action Agenda comes at a critical time,” Smyth said. “With the dual challenges of rapidly changing ocean conditions due to climate change and other pressures and the decrease in funding for research and science, this science action agenda can help us envision the needs and opportunities for important research to understand and sustain our valuable West Coast ocean resources.”

Curry Coastal Pilot moving office to remote model

STAFF

The Curry Coastal Pilot is moving out of the office it currently leases allowing its employees to work remotely beginning Sept 1.

The newspaper will continue to be published each Wednesday, although beginning Sept. 1, its employees will be working remotely from home offices or from other Country Media locations.

Country Media is the parent company of the Curry Coastal Pilot and based in downtown Salem.

“Far fewer of our customers are coming into our local offices to do business,” said Country Media’s chief executive, Joe Warren. “Classified advertising and legal notices, obituaries and subscriptions increasingly are being placed online.”

Country Media owns nine community newspapers in Oregon and one in Northern California.

“Within our group of newspapers, we’re beginning to create a small number of hub locations where we can produce multiple publications,” Warren said. “In Tillamook, for example, we oversee news reporting and ad sales not only for the Headlight Herald, but also for our newspapers in Cannon Beach and Manzanita.”

Meantime, allowing certain of its employees to work remotely “will make it easier for Country Media to recruit new workers and also to share resources within the company,” said Warren.

“It’s increasingly hard to recruit new employees and independent contractors to the small towns where we’re located,” Warren said. “Many of them now want to work remotely from home.

“As it is, all of the company’s accounting, circulation and human resources functions already are going through our central office in Salem, so this move will be of little disruption to our readers and advertising customers.”

Curry Coastal Pilot

A movement to recall two Curry County Commissioners is gaining momentum. A petition to recall Commissioner Jay Trost was officially approved by Curry County Clerk Shelley Denney, allowing petition organizers to begin collecting signatures. A similar petition against Commissioner Patrick Hollinger is expected to be approved soon.

The effort, spearheaded by Curry County Sheriff’s Lt. Jeremy Krohn, follows growing dissatisfaction among some residents.

The petition against Trost claims he has fostered a “culture of fear and retaliation,” supported costly legal actions against other elected officials and avoided public engagement by holding meetings in Brookings rather than the county seat of Gold Beach. It also alleges he has defended an employee whose actions have exposed the county to risk and litigation.

The petition against Hollinger alleges he has supported the takeover of public lands, proposed defying Oregon's sanctuary laws.

In a Facebook post, Commissioner Trost has called the allegations against him "baseless and intentionally vague." He

wrote that the recall effort is a reaction to the commissioners "leading in a way that disrupts the status quo." He linked the recall to a lawsuit the board filed against Sheriff Ward earlier this year and suggested it is an attempt to obstruct a planned forensic audit of the county’s finances.

In order for a special recall election to be held, organizers must collect at least 1,902 valid signatures from registered Curry County voters for each petition. The recall group plans to have volunteers with signature pages present at the special meeting for anyone who wishes to sign. They also announced that electronic signature pages have been approved for circulation for those unable to attend in person.

In other county news, Commissioner Trost issued a press release stating that the Oregon State Bar Association had dismissed a complaint against Curry County Council Ted Fitzgerald, filed by Curry County Sheriff John Ward in September of 2024, because the State Bar found no evidence of professional misconduct by Fitzgerald.

“Because we find no professional misconduct, we will take no further action on this matter,” the Oregon State Bar stated in a letter to Sheriff Ward in July. Neither party could be reached for comment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Many of us proudly support our current Board of Commissioners (BOC). I value democracy as much as community-building, and I deeply respect leaders who stand for what’s right even when it’s not politically easy or politically popular.

‘Tis the season to be gaslighting, unfortunately. Twisting facts to fit a false narrative is infecting Curry County’s public and private life. The good leaders are being defamed in their pursuit of accountability, transparency, and fairness for the people they serve.

Two such leaders – Commissioners Hollinger and Trost – now face an unnecessary and costly recall. These are people who have dedicated themselves

Curry County Voters Urged to Reject Misguided, Costly, Disruptive Recall Effort

Curry County voters are being asked to consider a recall election against duly elected County Commissioners Jay Trost and Patrick Hollinger—an action driven by a small, vocal minority pursuing self-interest at the expense of the county’s stability and fiscal health.

A recall is not a routine election. It is an extraordinarily costly and disruptive process that removes elected officials before the end of their terms. Unlike regular elections, a recall can be initiated without broad community support. Once

to service, integrity, and working for the greater good of every citizen in our county.

Rural areas feel power struggles more acutely. Extremism creates knee-jerk reactions, and the “big bad wolves” are the dividers adding insult to injury to the real issues facing our communities.

Our current BOC is doing something rare: avoiding the two-against-one dynamics common under our outdated county government structure. They are working together cohesively, respectfully, and with a devout commitment to progress and problem-solving. That is extraordinary in today’s divisive climate.

triggered, it forces a special election—placing a significant financial and operational burden on Curry County taxpayers and employees.

This recall is not about improving county government. It is about destabilizing it. The organizers appear to be acting in self-interest, aiming to block Board of Commissioners’ efforts to strengthen transparency, accountability, and fiscal discipline, including:

1. Stopping the County’s forensic audit of our county treasury, expenditures, deposits, and payments to all taxing districts dating back to 2020.

2. Blocking the County’s legal action to ensure the Sheriff’s Office complies

Division politics is counterproductive. A recall costs taxpayers twice as much as a regular election, confuses voters, and weakens communities. It distracts from real solutions to real problems that demand urgent attention. I’m far from perfect, so having role models matters to me. Our commissioners are role-model material – proving that collaboration, integrity, and results still matter in leadership.

For these reasons, I strongly oppose the recall. Thank you to Commissioners Trost, Hollinger, and Coker for your service, your example, and your willingness to put Curry County first. Connie Hunter Brookings

with Oregon statutes and standards for transparency, reporting, and accountability.

3. Preventing the County from enforcing county policies, board orders and collective bargaining agreements.

4. Disrupting the Board of Commissioners’ efforts to extend the benefits of a balanced 2024 budget into fiscal year 2025–26.

For these reasons, Curry County voters are urged to reject this costly, disruptive recall effort.

Respectfully, Lynn Coker Curry County Commissioner

This recall petition is designed to intimidate the current BOC and to send a stark message to future County Commissioners that they must not ask questions or seek answers. They must not press for accountability or transparency. Or they risk being removed from their stewardship roles. Curry County voters already have effective tools to hold elected officials accountable—public meetings, policy advocacy, and regular elections. These measures provide transparency and maintain stability while respecting the will of the majority. Recalls should be reserved for extraordinary breaches of trust, not weaponized as a political tactic to undermine the county’s governance.

Oregon’s Wild Rivers Coast

New Brand Emphasizes Natural Beauty, Regional Identity, and Community Pride

Curry County’s official tourism initiative is proud to announce a new visitor-facing brand: Oregon’s Wild Rivers Coast.

Formerly known as Travel Curry Coast, the refreshed identity celebrates the region’s rugged beauty, deep river systems, and adventurous coastline, all while retaining the same local partnerships, values, and support for community events and small businesses.

“Oregon’s Wild Rivers Coast better reflects what makes this part of the state so unforgettable,” said Miranda Plagge, Economic Development Administrator for Curry County.

“It evokes our rivers, our ocean, and the wild places in between and helps us stand out in the competitive landscape of travel and tourism.”

While the new brand will appear across marketing materials, campaigns, and the official tourism website, (a new one coming soon) Travel Curry Coast remains the name for internal operations and administrative work. No changes will be made to contracts, communications, or the county’s commitment to supporting economic development in Curry County.

Oregon’s Wild Rivers Coast and What’s to come next: Oregon’s Wild Rivers Coast is now the official tourism brand for Curry County, Oregon. From Langlois to Brookings, and through the winding waters of the Rogue, Chetco, Sixes and Elk Rivers, we welcome visitors to discover untamed beauty, authentic adventure, and community-driven experiences.

The new website, designed to reflect the Oregon’s Wild Rivers Coast brand, is nearly ready to launch. This refreshed platform will feature an updated logo, new visual identity, and enhanced tools for both visitors and local partners. It’s built to be more intuitive, mobile-friendly, and engaging, helping us better highlight the region’s natural beauty, unique experiences, and vibrant communities.

While the original goal was to unveil the website alongside the brand launch, we made the intentional decision to pace development in line with the current staffing capacity. This ensured the site was not only beautiful but also accurate, accessible, and sustainable long-term.

The rebrand includes a new logo, and a renewed focus on storytelling,

We’re excited to unveil the site in the coming weeks as part of this broader transformation.

It’s more than a website; it’s a front door to the Wild Rivers Coast and a vital tool for the growth of the region.

For seventy-five years the Rotary Club of Gold Beach has been supporting the community in a variety of positive ways.

First chartered in 1950, the club has led the way with community partnership events that include health programs, swimming lessons, basketball and soccer programs as well as scholarship opportunities for the youth and future health care workers and stewardship of natural spaces.

One of the club’s favorite traditions is the Party in the Park event that is in its eighteenth year. The beloved tradition is an opportunity for the community to meet Rotary Club members and get to know a little bit about what goes on within the organization.

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.

Brookings Approves Major Wastewater Project and Sets Stage for Future Infrastructure

The Brookings City Council is moving forward with a significant infrastructure project after unanimously approving a contract with HP Civil for wastewater treatment plant improvements. The decision marks a major milestone in a long-awaited project funded by a substantial federal loan and grant package.

The approved contract is a key piece of a larger $30.2 million project to upgrade the city's wastewater system. This massive undertaking, which has been in the making for nearly ten years, is financed by a $24.9 million loan and a $2.5 million grant from the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development (USDA RD), along with a city contribution of $2.6 million.

“This may be largest combined loan/grant in the city’s history,” said Anthony Baron Public Works & Development Services Director. “The proceeds will be used to complete various upgrades to the city’s wastewater treatment plant and sewer collection system, connecting

sewer service to Lone Ranch Development.”

The improvements are multifaceted and will address critical needs throughout the city. The focus of the approved contract is on the wastewater treatment plant, which includes the replacement of the UV system and installing a new pump station to allow gravity flow from the north end of town and will make up a bulk of the project's cost.

"It's a huge amount of money, and it's a good portion of my time to get to this point," Baron responded, expressing his relief and excitement. "It's pretty amazing that we're here."

Also included in the project will be upgrading portions of the sewer collection system to support future growth and repair as well as lining existing sewer pipes to address high inflow and infiltration issues.

“I’m grateful for all that you guys have done to secure funding,” said Councilor Phoebe Pereda, “and to try to provide areas for housing to be built, which we all know we need.”

In a separate, but related action, the council also unanimously adopted

updated capital improvement plans for water, wastewater, stormwater, parks and transportation. This move was a necessary step under Oregon law (ORS 223.309) to allow the city to eventually establish or update its system development charges (SDCs), which help fund infrastructure growth.

“Before the council can deliberate on any legislative action concerning methodology updates, it must adopt capital improvement plans for each municipal service that will have SDC charges,” emphasized Baron. Adopting the plans does not automatically approve the new SDC rates. That decision will be a separate discussion at a later council meeting, allowing for further deliberation on the financial implications.

“The city is in the process of recommending updates to the city's system development charge that methodology for water, wastewater, storm water and transportation,” said Barron.

The council's adoption of these plans demonstrates its commitment to ensuring the city's infrastructure can meet current and future demands.

American Music Festival

Celebrates 30 Years of Concerts in The Park

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

This year the American Music Festival (AMF) celebrates its 30th anniversary of the concerts in the park series.

Each year an average of nearly one-thousand people gather on the lawns at Azelea Park to experience live music that they would only get to see if they ventured outside the region.

Lead by a band of volunteers, the concerts in the park began thirty years ago with the initiative by Les Cohen and a small group of music lovers hoping to bring musicians from across the country to the bandshell in Azelea Park.

AMF has hosted a variety of bands over the years featuring everything from tribute bands to jazz to pop to rock and the blues, to name a few.

“We had a stellar lineup of artists this summer with returning favorites and new-to-us acts, including the incomparable hard rocking band The Outlaw Mariachi,” said

Scott Graves, AMF series promoter. “Bring your lawn chairs, blankets and dancing shoes and enjoy a summer of great live music!”

The success of the concert series is directly tied to a group of dedicated volunteers within the community. Each year, they look for bands that wouldn’t normally play at such a small venue, but because of the community turn out, it makes it worth it for them.

AMF tributes the on-going success to the sponsorship by local businesses, the continued turnout of the crowds of people wanting to come share in the love of music and the willingness of musicians willing to come to our coastal town.

“The community’s generosity and financial support is key to maintaining such a wonderful summer tradition,” Cohen said.

There are only two concerts left: Object Heavy, a hard-hitting soul band will perform on August 24th Nate Botsford, a

country-rock band will perform on August 24th for the season finale. Both concerts are set for 1 p.m. at Azalea Park, “This is truly the com-
