America’s RV boom shows no signs of slowing down and two small towns on the Oregon Coast are getting national recognition for it.

Florence and Brookings, have both been named top RV destinations for 2025 in a new nationwide analysis by StorageCafe, which ranked cities based on campground quality, amenities, connectivity, and overall livability.

Each city brings its own flavor to the list and together, they

make a strong case for the Oregon Coast as one of the country’s best places to park it for a while.

Here’s why RVers are heading for the Oregon shoreline: • Florence: Scenic and top-rated 17 RV parks with an impressive average rating of 4.46 stars, the 3rd highest in the nation. All sites are pet-friendly and include showers and restrooms. Surrounded by 15 public parks and supported by 14 internet providers, Florence is perfect for nature lovers and remote workers alike.

• Brookings: Small town, big comforts

11 RV parks, all fully equipped with electricity, water, sewer, restrooms, showers, laundry, and pet access.

The city ranks 5th nationwide for overall amenities.

A strong mix of connectivity (15 internet providers) and convenience makes it a standout for long-haul RVers.

As RV interest continues to grow, Florence and Brookings are proving that coastal Oregon communities can deliver both scenic escapes and comfort-driven stays, all with that laid-back Pacific Northwest charm.

Rite Aid closes its business in Harbor

BY LINDA LEE

In June, Rite Aid closed the Harbor location as well as thirty-three other stores across the state as part of its bankruptcy proceedings.

This isn’t the first time Rite Aid filed for bankruptcy; it’s the second. Back in October of 2023 it filed for bankruptcy, but was unable to recover due to financial difficulties.

Plagued with significant debt from the acquisition of other

pharmacy companies, it was unable to corner the pharmaceutical market as the increased competition from much larger companies like Walmart, Amazon and Target; as a result, it had no choice but to cut its losses and close doors leaving thousands of people without jobs.

Another potential factor in its closing was the number of lawsuits filed against the company for its alleged role in filling unlawful opioid prescriptions. The legal costs involved added to its

debt and laid open the question of ethical practices.

This comes on the heels of decreased consumer confidence, reduced profit margines and a wide range of changes in the pharmaceutical industry as alleged questionable practices have come to light.

For Brookings, it means that consumers only have Fred Myers to rely on for their pharmaceutical needs.

According to its website, between June and September, of

this year, Rite Aid will have, or will close a total of thirty-three stores in Oregon and will close over 800 stores nation wide within that four-month period.

A representative from Rite Aid could not be reached, but the following information was provided via recording: “Rite Aid Rite Aid is commencing Chapter 11 proceedings we have begun pursuing a sale of our prescriptions pharmacy and front end inventory and other assets. This means that over the next

few months all Rite Aid stores will either close or be operated by a new owner. At this moment, many services are no longer available such as delivery search and website services etcetera we have a very limited staff to be able to service questions or comments and we may be unable to assist depending upon your concern for questions.”

Opinion & Letters

Our non-"real production", non -"free market exchange of real products and services" Gov-ernments should not necessarily be disparaged with phrases such as "Government is best which governs least."

Now, MANAGEMENT in the above-mentioned NGOs could in fact be construed as quasi-Government. Ask any production worker or charity NGO worker if he or she feels that they have much freedom of motion and thought on the job; ask if they feel they are barely being governed, managed and controlled.

Sometimes all job places can become like mini-tyrannies, both in what we call governed or-ganizations and societies, and managed profit and non-profit organizations. Governments can provide "public options" - producing enterprises - as in National Health Care SERVICES, Socialist nations manufacturing FEMA-type trailers, military equipment etc.

Anyway, for any great things to be collectively accomplished, such as making electric bicy-cles in China, some sort of management, government, control of the thinking and motions of workers has to occur. Otherwise, everyone would be a subjective individualist, atomized eccentric individual, and nothing good would ever come about; few good vehicles, good

shelters, good medications, etc. would be in the "marketplace."

For Government by Objective, Management by Objective, making FEMA trailers, Ford Maver-icks ad infinitum, libertarian subjective individualism, Milton Friedmanism, Alan Green-spanism, Ayn Randism is not going to cut it. And it is interesting that "Chicago School" an-archic capitalism ideas and Chicago labor-side collectivist anarchism both took place in Chicago like that.

North Brookings

A recent Letter to the Editor by Jennifer White proclaimed that Curry County Republicans oppose any effort to recall commissioners Trost and Hollinger. I find Ms. White’s statement to be categorically false. Many Curry County citizens regardless of political affiliation are aware of the lack of professional ability, honesty, and accountability exhibited by our cur-rent commissioners.

4/15 BOC: Commissioner Hollinger wrongly accused a Sheriff’s Office Marine Deputy of fraud.

6/4 BOC: Commissioner Hollinger read off a string of demeaning accusations against Sher-iff Ward, mistakenly

accusing him of the contents of a letter not written by the Sheriff.

8/6 BOC: Commissioner Hollinger spoke of a contract he plans to push through with the USDA and Forest Service for the purpose of reinvesting our timber funds to support local forest service operations. He stated, “This contract is in compliance with the Executive Or-der 14255.” That’s an Order to assist with domestic and foreign investment in the U.S.

8/19 BOC: Commissioner Coker warned of a Recall and without identifying who “they” are, stated, “I know for sure they’re gonna stop the process for the forensic audit…” The board of commissioners have for more than a year been talking about ordering a forensic audit. Last year it was Sheriff Ward himself who suggested the audit, knowing that all Sheriff’s Office income and expenses are approved and processed by the county finance department.

Commissioner Coker stated that the Recall effort destabilizes the commissioners. This is because the three commissioners have a “Group Think” mentality. They prioritize harmony and conformity over critical analysis and independent thinking. County citizens are waking up

and speaking out. The emperor has no clothes. The truth has been exposed. Curry Coun-ty needs leaders who put their effort into finding solutions to rising crime, open drug use, homelessness…

Georgia Cockerham Brookings

There was a letter to the editor a week or so ago professing that the commissioners Trost and Hollinger make good role models. Yikes! I guess one could agree with their method of governance if one was so inclined but as role models?

My idea of leadership role model is one who immediately fires an employee who is sexually harassing another. A role model listens carefully to 50 plus verifiable testimonies and is able to change their mind because they applied critical thinking to their original agenda. A role model finds solutions to open communication with departments at odds with them and doesn’t escalate entrenched viewpoints. A role model apologizes publicly if they know they slandered someone through innuendo. So, role model material? I think not.

Oregon Farm Bureau Welcomes Submissions

The Oregon Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) is accepting submissions for the Oregon’s Bounty Calendar Contest. Farm Bureau welcomes photographers to submit their best images of Oregon agriculture for possible inclusion in the 2026 Oregon’s Bounty Calendar!

Oregon’s Bounty is an award-winning program consisting of an annual Farm Stand Guide, highlighting Farm Bureau members that serve the public through direct-to-consumer products or agritourism activities, and our Oregon’s Bounty Calendar, which showcases the incredible diversity of farms and ranches across the state and the families that run them.

“Oregon’s Bounty Calendar is meant to show off our state, the family farmers that feed us, and highlight the diversity of our agricultural landscape,” said Austin McClister, lead editor of the Oregon’s Bounty program. “We receive hundreds of submissions every year and I don’t believe

any other project can do what the Bounty does to celebrate Oregon ag. We are very proud of it as an organization and excited to see what folks send in this year.”

Submissions for the calendar are open until September 15th. The OFBF State Board will vote on the photos featured in the calendar at their September board meeting.

Photographers of all ages, disciplines, and backgrounds are welcome to submit their photos at oregonfb.org/bounty. Any photos not submitted via the guidelines on the website will not be considered for the contest.

This calendar celebrates all aspects of Oregon agriculture: the products, people, production, enjoyment, landscape, and anything that depicts the beauty, technology, culture, appreciation, or tradition of family farming and ranching in this great state.

To be included for consideration:

• Photos must involve farming or ranching in

Oregon.

• Photos must be taken in a horizontal format to fit a calendar layout.

• Selected images MUST be available in high-resolution, 300 dpi

at a size of at least 11” x 8.5”; otherwise they will be too grainy to enlarge.

• Digital images must be submitted in .jpg format.

• Photos with people may require a signed photo

release. Please don't send photos of people you don't know.

• There's no limit to the number of photos you can submit.

• You don't have to be a Farm

From Gold Beach to Medical School and Back Again

BY ANNA MARIE CURTIS

President, Rotary Club of Gold Beach Guest Column

Every year, the Rotary Club of Gold Beach invests in the future of our youth through scholarships.

Over the past 75 years, hundreds of graduates have been able to pursue their dreams because their community believed in them. One of those students is 2025 Gold Beach High School valedictorian, Kacen Wardle. Wardel’s story is one of service, leadership, and a deep love for the community that raised him. From planting lavender on Make a Difference Day with Gold Beach Main Street, to serving as Associated Student Body (ASB) President, to coaching Rotary Basketball and mentoring younger players, Wardel has spent his life showing up where he’s needed most.

“Leadership isn’t about titles,” Wardel wrote in his scholarship essay, “it’s about showing up consistently for the people who count on you.”

His service even bridged generations through the Soroptimist Cyber Seniors program, where he taught

older residents digital skills while learning their stories of Gold Beach from decades past. Whether helping a child make their first layup or listening to a senior recall the town’s history, Wardel has embodied the values of persistence, empathy and connection.

Now, thanks in part to a scholarship funded by the High on Health Scholarship—a partnership between the Rotary Club of Gold Beach and the Curry Health Foundation—Wardel is pursuing his dream of becoming a surgeon.

His vision? To one day return to Gold Beach to provide rural families with access to quality healthcare, or perhaps to serve abroad in struggling communities where compassionate medical care is desperately needed.

“When you support Rotary,” said President Anna Marie Curtis, “you’re not just funding an event, you’re investing in stories like Wardel’s. You’re opening doors for the next generation of leaders, healers and dreamers.”

First chartered in 1950, the club has led the way with community partnership events that include health programs, swim-

ming lessons, basketball and soccer programs as well as scholarship opportunities for the youth and future health care workers and stewardship of natural spaces.

Looking forward to celebrating the community, and the future of The Gold Beach Rotary Club, The Rotary Club will be hosting a seventy-five-year birthday bash on October 11th at The Curry County Fairgrounds.

In the months to come, feature articles will be presented that will tell the story of the Gold Beach Rotary Club and its past, present and future initiatives.

Join us in celebrating 75 years of service and help us make sure more stories like Wardel’s are possible. Anybody interested in more information may visit: goldbeachrotaryclub. org for more information. Membership is open to anyone interested in volunteering.

State issues new E-bike regulations

bicycles are allowed unless specifically prohibited

sand except where specifically restricted. Previously, e-bikes were only allowed on trails that were at least 8 feet wide. Signs will be posted on trails and areas where e-bikes are not allowed, and the trails and areas will be listed on the Oregon State Parks website.

Where e-bikes are not allowed:

• On the dry sand along the ocean shore, including soft sand, dunes and everything above the natural high-tide line

• On the wet sand below the natural high-tide line in snowy plover habitat on the ocean shore during nesting season (March 15 to Sept. 15).

The updated rules also include stronger and clearer language on safety, particularly operation

around other visitors, pets, children and equestrians.

“We ask that all riders ride responsibly, stay on designated trails and yield to others at Oregon State Parks and the ocean shore. Please keep operating speeds low as people might not be aware that riders are approaching. These are multi-use pathways where they will share the trail with many other users,” said Aaron Raines, park manager at Stub Stewart State Park.

The rules apply to Class 1, 2 and 3 e-bikes as defined by the Oregon State Legislature. Anything not included in those e-bike classifications is considered a motor vehicle and is not allowed on trails.

E-bike classification:

• Class 1: Provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling and ceases

to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 20 mph.

• Class 2: May be propelled by its motor without a rider pedaling and ceases to provide assistance once the bicycle reaches a speed of 20 mph.

• Class 3: Provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, ceases to provide assistance when the bicycle reaches the speed of 28 mph, and is equipped with a speedometer.

While education remains the primary focus for rule enforcement at Oregon State Parks, enforcement rangers do have the authority to issue citations, which carry fines starting at $100 for significant or repeated violations of park rules.

Safety tips for sharing the path:

• Yield to pedestrians, horses and slower users

• Announce yourself when passing (“On your left”)

• Ride at a safe, controlled speed, especially on corners or in high-use areas

• Slow down near pets, children and equestrians

• Stay on designated trails: do not ride off-trail

• Be prepared to stop: e-bikes are heavier and often faster than regular bikes so increase your following distance to allow for more time to stop and slow down.

For more information and a list of trails where e-bikes are prohibited, visit Oregon State Parks website at https://stateparks.oregon.gov/index. cfm?do=v.page&id=131

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information

about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (855) 313-3319 or visit this Internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 117199CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www. clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 117199-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

City Manager reflects on first year in Brookings

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

After twenty-five years of working as a municipal manager, Brookings City Manager Tim Rundel is eager to continue to work with city council, staff and the community to help build on the momentum of his first year on the job.

“I hit the ground running from day one in late July 2024,” said Rundel. “Police Chief Kelby McCrae did an outstanding job as interim city manager and made the transition seamless. His leadership, along with a dedicated team of department heads, helped me quickly identify priorities and prepare for the challenges and opportunities ahead.”

Despite his busy schedule since his arrival, Rundel is certain that the move to Brookings was a good decision. He cites the positive work environment and support from the city council that has made it such a good fit.

“I am absolutely confident I made the right decision in accepting the City Manager position here in Brookings,” said Rundel. “In Brookings, while we certainly face our share of challenges, there’s more space to be proactive, to focus on growth and planning and to work collaboratively with the community on long-term goals.”

A lot of noteworthy projects have been accomplished under his shared leadership. In his first year, the city resurfaced the municipal swimming pool, repaired and repaved several city streets, completed the Kidtown picnic area and acquired new equipment for fire, police and public works.

“It’s been a fast year. It’s hard to believe,” said Mayor Isaac Hodges. “He stepped right in, and our phenomenal city staff has only been strengthened by his leadership. I’m looking forward to the year ahead and I think we all are.”

In other improvements, funding was also secured for major development to the municipal airport’s electrical and lighting systems, which will be completed in the near future. Significant infrastructure work has been made to waterlines and the water distribution system, along with progress on one of the city’s largest undertakings—the nearly $30 million United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) funded wastewater treatment plant and collections system upgrade. Once complete, this multiyear project will expand capacity and make the facility more efficient for

decades to come.

“Tim’s done an excellent job. He hit the ground running, and the staff really stepped up alongside him,” said City Councilor Clayton Malmberg, praising Rundel’s leadership. “There were a lot of changes and adjustments, but the city is better for it. I appreciate all his hard work.”

The city has also advanced key grant-funded initiatives with Rundel’s help. A $100,000 state grant was awarded for a Housing Needs Analysis to identify local housing challenges and prepare for future funding opportunities.

Brookings also reached a major milestone in securing $1 million in federal funding for the Easy Street Water Line Replacement project, with the support of Representative Val Hoyle. While the final release of funds depends on congressional appropriations later this year, the approval marks significant progress toward replacing aging infrastructure.

“I feel incredibly fortunate to work with a strong team of directors and supervisors at City Hall— professionals who bring experience, dedication and creativity to their work every day,” said Rundel. “Because of their competence and leadership, I’m able to spend more time engaging directly with the community, which is where I believe a City Manager can make the greatest impact.”

In addition, the Brookings’ municipal pool enjoyed a strong year thanks to a successful partnership with South Coast Community Aquatics, which managed the facility and extended the season, providing more opportunities for residents to swim and participate in aquatic programs.

“Beyond infrastructure, I want to keep strengthening our tourism outreach, supporting small businesses and investing in parks, public safety and quality-of-life projects that make Brookings

a great place to live, work and visit. My focus is on building sustainable systems so that we are not just solving today’s problems but preparing for tomorrow’s opportunities.”

When asked what he liked most about the community Rundel responded, without hesitation, “the people.”

Beyond City Hall, Rundel has actively engaged in the community, supporting local arts and culture through involvement with the Wild Rivers Film Festival, Chetco Pelican Players and the Public Art Collaborative.

“I’ve had the privilege of meeting with our school district, Curry County officials, nonprofit and faithbased leaders, and many local business owners, and the outpouring of support for the city has been remarkable,” said Rundel. “There’s a genuine sense of pride and collaboration here, and that makes my role both rewarding and motivating.”

Rundel has also volunteered with the Chamber of Commerce, Nature’s Coastal Holiday Lights and other civic organizations. Tourism outreach remains a priority to him, with efforts to promote Brookings’ beaches, rivers and unique cultural offerings as part of a broader economic development strategy.

“My plans for the future are to keep moving the City of Brookings forward under the guidance of the Mayor and City Council,” stated Rundel. “We have several important projects already in the pipeline, including the rehabilitation of our wastewater treatment plant and major improvements to the wastewater collection system— both of which are crucial to supporting the City’s long-term growth and environmental stewardship.”
