The travel website, Lonely Planet, illustrates a listing of what it describes as 10 of the Best Beaches along Oregon's Pacific Coast. Oregon's coastline as 363 miles of rugged terrain "dotted with some incredibly beautiful stretches of sand, dramatic headlands and prime surfing. Not only that, this stretch of coastline has been protected from development and designated as "the People's Coast,”’ Lonely Planet states. “Since the Beach Bill was passed in 1913, the state's beaches, coves, and coastline have been reserved as public lands for the enjoyment of Oregonians."
• Cannon Beach is number 1 on the list as the “best beach for bird watching.”
• Seaside is listed as number 2, described as the “best beach for a fun carnival atmosphere.”
• Yachats is number 3, described as "best beach for getting away from it all." Please see BEACHES Page 3
The 14th annual Pirates of the Pacific Festival had the Port of Brookings-Harbor awash with swashbuckling activity
BY LINDA LEE
Curry Coastal Pilot
The port of Brookings-Harbor was alive with swashbuckling activity as the fourteenth annual Pirates of the Pacific Festival hosted a packed venue full of a variety of vendors showcasing their hand-made items as well as a diverse range of food and even one merchant selling homebrewed rum.
This year’s event had not one, but two areas that were center stage to a revolving door of bands that played everything from the blues to rock, to funk and even a self-proclaimed Celtic pirate band that wrote their own music with lyrics based on the lives of pirates.
Also on deck were fire breathers and fire dancers who gave a special night-time performance that was mesmerizing to see.
Pirates walked amongst the crowds looking for their next booty and the mermaids came out of the ocean to share their magic with our community and
offered photo opportunities to the crowd.
Local dance troupes, dressed in their pirate best, had the community delighted as they performed dance routines to perfection to pirate-themed music.
The cannon fire was something few did not miss as it left the onlookers with a thumping in their chest and a ringing in their ears.
Sword fight demonstrations reached an all-time high as there was no shortage of pirates willing to unsheathe their blades and
fight for a lady’s honor, or the chest of gold that sat at the end of the dock.
There was also a treasure hunt that mapped out clues for participants to follow to find the bounty offered and there were prizes awarded for best costumes as well as interactive crafts and games for the kids. Something different this year
was the booth of the Illinois Valley Lion’s Club, out of Cave Junction. They sold tickets to raffle off a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Kids had the chance to climb on the bike and get their picture taken.
It’s no secret that the Pirates of the Pacific Festival saw record crowds this year with people coming in from across the country to enjoy the event and all it had the offer. The weather provided sunshine, the performers provided their talents and the people of the community provided their pirate spirit. Well done!
18th Annual Dee-ni' Day Celebration set for Sept. 6
BY SCOTT GRAVES
The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation is hosting its 18th annual Dee-ni' Day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6, at the Howonquet Hall Community Center in Smtih River, across from Lucky 7 Casi-
no. The free event is open to the public and the entire community to enjoy. The event will feature cultural demonstrations including regalia and necklace making, and the baking of traditional sand bread. There will be a tribal citizen art
show, men's card games, shell dice tournament and a regalia showcase.
There will also be 60-plus food and art vendors offering items such as high-quality beads and jewelry, apparel, fine art, woodwork, glasswork, baskets and more. This is a fantastic opportunity to support local artists, find unique gifts for friends and families, and get treats for yourself.
There will also be a variety of children and adult activities such as bounce houses, face painting, a balloon artist, and a horseshoe
tournament. Several Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation departments and local nonprofit organizations will host booths to share information, opportunities and services as well.
A highlight of Dee-ni' Day are the stick games, starting at 1 p.m., with athletes of all ages battling for bragging rights and cash prizes. The games, held on the beach, is a strenuous sport for men and women that combines the strength and agility of wrestling and rugby with the quick action of field hockey. Game play can get rough, with players tackling or wrestling one another
to the ground. Parking at the Howonquet Hall Community Center, basketball court and UIHS is reserved for elder. We ask that those who can please park in the overflow parking at the Howonquet Cemetery on South Indian Road. More parking is available across the street at Lucky 7 Casino. When walking across Highway 101 to and from Lucky 7 Casino to the event please use the crosswalk and be cautious of fast-moving vehicles. A shuttle will be available. The schedule of events will include food and art vendors, children’s activities, cultural demonstrations, regalia showcase, shell dice and horseshoe tournament, stick games (at the beach) food samples, cultural events and an art show display that people can vote on. The winners of the art show will be announced at 4 p.m. For more information about Dee-ni' Day please contact Public Information Officer Scott Graves at: 707-487-9255 ext. 1183

Opinion & Letters
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Curry County Republicans oppose any effort to recall Commissioners Jay Trost and Patrick Hollinger. These commissioners are working hard to create favorable outcomes for all the people in Curry County. We ask that you refrain from signing any petition to recall these commissioners.
I would like to highlight a couple of the positive things these commissioners are doing for our County.
1. Commissioners Trost and Hollinger are staying within 2024-2025 budget and are committed to staying within this budget and continue to do so in future years. We need to support these Commissioners to continue with the balanced 2024 budget into 2025-2026. They have asked for a forensic audit of the County finances since 2020.
2. To be prepared if there should be a catastrophic event several bridges need to be repaired to provide residential safety and commerce continuity. Trost and
Hollinger are working on obtaining funding for a 2-year project to begin repairing these bridges.
3. Many other infrastructure projects have been forgotten or deferred for many years. Trost and Hollinger are working to obtain funding for these projects, but the Commissioners need to be allowed reasonable amount of time to complete these projects. This is not something that can be completed overnight.
Recalls cost the County money and these County Commissioners (Hollinger has only been in office for 6 months) should be allowed time to demonstrate their ability to serve Curry County. Voters deserve stability, progress, transparency, and accountability.
Please do NOT recall Curry County Commissioners Trost and Hollinger.
Respectfully, Jennifer White Curry County Republican Chair

Curry County Needs Representation, Not Infighting
Curry County has been stuck for too long in a conflict between the Sheriff’s Office and the Board of Commissioners. The history is complicated, and there is more than one perspective. But at the end of the day, neither office was elected to win arguments, they were elected to serve and represent the people.
While the feud dominates attention, our community continues to face real, visible challenges: rising crime, open drug use, homelessness, prostitution, and reduced public services. Calls for help are prioritized, yet too often go unresolved if they’re not deemed urgent. These aren’t political talking points. They are daily realities for the people who live and work here.
This letter isn’t about blame, and it’s not about taking sides. It’s about what public service is supposed to mean. Public

office is a trust and with that trust comes the responsibility to focus on safety, access to services, and the standards the public relies on.
I’m not here to tell anyone how to do their job. I’m asking for focus. The longer this conflict continues, the longer Curry County goes without the coordination, resources, and commitment its residents deserve.
Set the fight aside. Meet, identify the shared work, make decisions, report progress in plain language the public can see and measure and take responsibility for the outcomes.
Curry County does not need winners and losers. It needs representation, results, and public servants willing to work together because communities aren’t built on feuds. They’re built on shared purpose, mutual respect, and the kind of focus we can all be proud of.

listed number 6.
• Brookings is number 7, listed as “best beaches for incredible views.”
• Bandon is number 8, “best beach for marine life.”
• Depoe Bay is listed number 9 for “best whale watching.”
• Number 10 on the list is Indian Beach in Ecola State Park, listed as “best beach for coastal hiking trails.”
"Located 10 miles south of Lincoln City, little Depoe Bay is edged by modern timeshare condominiums but still retains some original coastal charm," Lonely Planet notes. "It lays claim to having the world's smallest navigable harbor and being the world's whale-watching capital – pretty big talk for such a pint-sized town. Whale-watching and charter fishing are the main attractions in the area yearround."
Lonely Planet also suggests Devils Punchbpwl as a detour five miles south of Depoe Bay, calling it "an impressive collapsed sea cave that churns with waves and offers good tidepools nearby."
The online magazine puts Florence and the Oregon Dunes at Number 5 on its list.
Stretching for nearly 50 miles between Florence and Coos Bay, the Oregon Dunes form the largest expanse of oceanfront sand dunes in the USA, according to Lonely Planet
"These sandy hills tower up to 500 feet and undulate inland for up to 3 miles to meet coastal forests, harboring curious ecosystems that sustain an abundance of wildlife, especially birds. The area inspired Frank Herbert to pen his epic sci-fi Dune novels," the online site states. "The very northern and southern sections of the dunes are dominated by dune buggies and dirt bikes (off-highway vehicles, or OHVs); avoid
hiking in these areas.
The central section of the dunes is closed to OHVs and preserved for wildlife and more peaceful human activities such as hiking and canoeing.”
Lonely Plant also offers a planning tip: "Make time for Florence's Old Town neighborhood to see the town's most charming side – a quaint waterfront district nestled along the
scenic Siuslaw River next to the Oregon Coast's prettiest harbor," it states.
Yachats, number 3 on the list, is described as a neat and friendly little town and one of the Oregon Coast's best-kept secrets.
“Lying at the base of massive Cape Perpetua, Yachats offers the memorable scenery of a rugged and windswept land,”
Planet states. “People come here to get away from it all, which isn't hard to do along this relatively undeveloped stretch of coast. Not only is the beach close to town an ideal stretch of sand and sea stacks, but Cape Perpetua also gives you even more room to roam and take in the coast.”

MIA MALDONADXO Oregon Capital Chronicle
For years, critics have blamed Oregon’s 2020 ballot measure that decriminalized possession of small amounts of drugs for the state’s rising crime and overdose rates. But a new study suggests otherwise.
Researchers from Portland State University’s Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice released their final report examining the impacts of years of major drug policy changes between 2008 and 2024 on crime and drug-related deaths. The report, created in partnership with the National Institute of Justice, finds little evidence to support claims that Oregon’s drug decriminalization policy caused higher crime and overdose deaths.
The report outlines a decade of Oregon’s drug policy reforms, starting in 2013 when Oregon enacted a law reducing mandatory minimum sentences for marijuana and diverted more drug offenses to probation. Then in 2017, lawmakers passed a law to reclassify moderate drug possession felony offenses to misdemeanors for Schedule 1 or 2 drugs, such as heroin and cocaine.
Finally, in November 2020, Oregon voters passed Measure 110, which decriminalized possession of small amounts of drugs, such as methamphetamine and fentanyl. The policy took effect in 2021, downgrading misdemeanor charges to a violation punishable with a $100 fine.
Researchers found no evidence linking the measure to increased crime or drug deaths. Instead, the study found the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergence of fentanyl were the main drivers behind the rise in crime rates and drug-related deaths.
“Of all the events we examined, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the justice system the most, more so than any legislation,” Brian Renauer, a lead researcher and university professor, said in a news release.
Overdose deaths were rising before Oregon decriminalized drugs
In 2020, there were 816 overdose deaths in Oregon — about 200 more than the previous year. That number more than doubled and peaked in 2023 at 1,833 overdose deaths.
Lawmakers anticipating a citizen-led initiative to repeal Measure 110 effectively ended the drug decriminalization experiment, when overdose deaths had already begun to decline. There were 1,480 recorded overdose deaths in 2024. Since the new law took effect in September, people caught with small amounts of drugs can once again be arrested and face criminal charges. But they can avoid charges by entering a deflection program and receiving treatment.
Christopher Campbell, a lead researcher and associate professor at the university, said that while Measure 110 had its flaws and regional impacts, crime trends statewide were stable or declining by 2023.
“What we observed was far from a causal connection to Measure 110,” Campbell said. “Rather, we saw an unprecedented impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and fentanyl on public health and safety outcomes.”

cannot support future wind development steps off the Oregon coast by BOEM until Oregon develops its Offshore Wind Road Map.
Brad Kneaper said in a release. “No one, including BOEM, has an understanding on how wind development will impact the fragile marine environment.”
By rescinding WEAs, BOEM is ending the federal practice of designating large areas of the OCS for speculative wind development and is de-designating over 3.5 million acres of unleased federal waters previously targeted for offshore wind development across the Gulf of America, Gulf of Maine, the New York Bight, California, Oregon, and the Central Atlantic, the release states.

“I stand with my tribal friends, the bipartisan coastal caucus members of the legislature and especially my neighbors who live on the coast when we urged caution until there is further understanding of the impacts of to the entire environment,” Oregon State Sen. Dick Anderson said when auctions for the two Oregon sites were announced in 2024 by the U.S. Department of Energy.
“Sadly, this is a normal course of action for the federal government, who just provides lip service to all of us versus actually listening to us. My office is engaged in doing whatever we can to slow the process down before there is no turning back.”
State Rep. David Gomberg told KOIN Portland that the Oregon Caucus
“The federal government owes the people of the Oregon coast the due diligence required to ensure that these turbines won’t disrupt both our coastal economy and its ecology,” Gomberg told KOIN. “The Coastal Caucus stands in firm opposition to lease auctions at this time.”
The Confederated Tribes of Coos Lower Umpqua and Siuslaw Indians said the acreage in the proposal is within the tribe’s ancestral territory and are important areas for tribal fishing.
“The tribe has consistently urged that BOEM delay moving forward with wind energy development until a better understanding is made of the impacts to fish, wildlife, the marine environment, and cultural resources important to the tribe,” Tribal Council Chair
Amid mounting opposition to offshore wind development off the coast of Oregon, the federal government announced Friday, Sept. 27, 2024, it was delaying the planned auction for the development of two wind energy sites as Gov. Tina Kotek urged the federal agency to halt all leasing plans and stop the auction, according to an Oregon Capital Chronicle report.
“The developments call into question the potential for future development of offshore wind energy off the Oregon coast. The state’s coastal communities, seafood industry and tribes fiercely opposed the federal agency’s plans, which concerned the governor,” the Oregon Capital Chronicle report stated

Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment declined by 2,700 jobs in July, following a revised loss of 8,600 jobs in June, according to the Oregon Employment Department.
The monthly unemployment reports are a key economic indicator of the state.
Job Losses
July’s losses were largest in fi nancial activities (-2,700 jobs); professional and business services (-1,400); and health care and social assistance (-1,100).
Gains were largest in construction (+2,900 jobs) and transportation, warehousing, and utilities
(+800).
Construction employed 112,700 in July, rebounding from its relatively weak prior two months, but landing well below its average level of 117,500 jobs during the prior two years.
Professional and business services has been on a declining trend since early 2023. Accounting for 254,100 jobs in July, it is down 14,800 jobs, or 5.5%, since its peak employment in March 2023. Each of its three component industries dropped by a similar percentage during that period.
Newly revised numbers for this year show lower
employment levels than previously estimated for most industries.
Closer Look
Since July 2024, Oregon’s total nonfarm payroll employment dropped 24,600 jobs, or -1.2%. Manufacturing lost 9,400 jobs, or 5.0%. Each of these industries cut between 3% and 4%: information, private education, wholesale trade, fi nancial activities, and construction.
In that time, only two major industries expanded: health care and social assistance (+9,800 jobs, or 3.2%) and leisure and hospitality (+2,000 jobs, or 1.0%).
Oregon’s unemployment rate was 5.0% in July and 4.9% in June, after rising gradually over the past year from 4.2% in July 2024. Oregon’s 5.0% unemployment rate was 1.4 percentage points higher than the recent low of 3.6% during spring 2023.
The U.S. unemployment rate was 4.1% in June and 4.2% in July.
